>I disagree with the central assumption that reconnecting neighborhood roads cut by Interstates should be an exception rather than a rule.

Author here: That was not meant to be my central assumption! Sorry if it came across that way. I only called it out to note that the lack of walkability in the area made this bridge stand out. I wish that area (and other areas in my community) were more walkable and bike-friendly.

Most writing on paper is short lived, and it is generally inaccessible while it is retained. For example, a lot of writings authored by lawyers such as contracts, mortgage documents, etc. have specific retention requirements, and they are destroyed upon expiration.

Even in categories such as fiction, there is no reason to keep every novel written. Only a tiny percentage have enduring literary value.

For society, as for the individual, forgetting is an important process in maintaining sanity.

How to shrink root filesystem without booting a livecd (2015)
For a long time, “So This is Paris” (1954 starring Tony Curtis) was my white whale, as I could not find a copy anywhere, legally or otherwise. I had seen a clip that somebody had posted on youtube, and wanted to see the full movie. The clip was taken down by a copyright claim, and still the movie was unavailable.

Eventually, after searching on and off for a few years, I found a copy on a Russian streaming site, but the movie has effectively been erased from availability.
Author here! Glad you all enjoyed the article. It was a fun journey into the history of my community.

For the record: I am an advocate of walkability and think there should be more bridges, not fewer. I just wondered how that one got there given the context of limited walkability in the area.
How is the set of tokens selected for various LLMs?

My intuition tells me there are important symbolic patterns in different layers of tokens. If they are automatically generated, I'd bet there are interesting insights to be gleaned in the tokeizer itself.

This is the way it works, the high voltage battery is used for the motors and to feed the 12 volt battery which feeds cabin electronics.

I’m guessing by extremely unfortunate luck both batteries failed at the same time.

That's the plan all along. The end-game is to become the ultimate rent-seeker on the whole concept of addresses, so that any device capable of looking up or resolving an address is obligated to pay rent to them.
> Nothing about the general existence of electronic parking brakes explains why this particular vehicle would have one engaged mid-turn.

Did you notice the part that it run out of battery mid-turn? It seems that the brakes are designed to fail safe in case of a battery failure. I see how someone could argue for that as a design choice. The fact that there is no way to emergency release them without power is more questionable.
If only those squiggles were readable.
FreeDV Update March – August 2023
It was a huge hassle to have enough quarters 20 yrs ago when I last used coin laundry. These days when many people don’t use cash at all it’s far harder to find them. During the peak of the pandemic restrictions in the US there was a massive shortage of quarters because of limited commerce. There are a lot of people where I live in the Boston area who depend on coin laundry who had a hard time getting any done.

Personally I would have welcomed anything that freed me from rounding up quarters. Though would prefer tap to pay on the machine over an app.

It is indeed amazing. I’m don’t generally remember dreams in much detail, but have sometimes been amazed to recall that part of my dream was reading a newspaper or magazine article. Like, close up. So my brain was manufacturing copy _and_ doing typesetting, all in real time!
I'm not seriously proposing this, but what if the "subconscious" (whatever came up with your obstetrician names without you perceiving it) is actually another consciousness, "locked in". Perhaps there is another story here, where a dream was had about a party, and the observer felt they were coming up with humorous names for an obstetrician.

Maybe for you its not a part of what you negotiate, but it surely is for your employer.

This is something that AARP should be on. Yes, I know that most seniors, even very old ones (over 80) have smartphones, but an awful lot do not, and many who do have a rather uneasy relationship with it. Every update comes with user interface changes that have to be learned, and I see my older relatives who do have smartphones having various levels of trouble learning them each time. Eventually, they give up on functions that change too much (Apple, I’m talking about Camera and Photos on the iPhone)

Despite personally liking my iPhone, I’m looking to help protect the rights of my relatives to live their lives and access public services without smartphones or personal internet access.
I wouldn't call it dramatic, I feel like windows and linux (Caja, specifically for me) are mostly intuitive and natural but Finder is bizarrely alien and unproductive. There's not a native version of Caja to install so finder kind of makes lost in general.

Also Samba shares seem to mount perfectly on windows/Caja but on Finder there is some weird issue where after it working a few days suddenly you can't connect unless you use the terminal.
It is interesting hearing different perspectives going into this kind of work.

My experience has been a bit different. I've never had a famine cycle in the last 12 years of doing front end development and product design.

Part of the reason I'm sure is I've always said yes to challenging and desirable projects and risen to the occasion. The fear of failing helps me adapt quickly I'm sure as well to new technology.

My clients often end up being long term clients I work years with.

Income wise things vary year to year but I'm often in the $150k to $250k range in a medium cost area where my money goes a bit farther than the west coast.

In order to push higher I know I'll need to put more effort into fine tuning my target market and value propositions. Also building more clout, becoming an authority in a specialized field, or investing more back into the business with marketing and sales would go a long ways. If I were to push into consultancy I feel confident I could push into the 250k to 350k range more but I am quite happy still slinging code rather than advising.

I'm happy people find success in this arena. It's important that people have a good mix of choices that works for them so congrats to OP for finding your desirable path.
Yeah, no clue either. It doesn't line up with the kWh value of the packs either (82kWh iirc)

It’s amazing that this is considered “news”. My ex owned a Volvo S40 that had an electric wheel lock that failed in a way that required the car to be dragged onto a flatbed. Car refused to unlock the wheel or switch into neutral gear when the key was inserted.

Failures cause cars to be stuck all the time. The issue here was the failed response, not the failed car.

Doubly embarrassing that HN thinks this is front page worthy. It’s pure unintellectual click/rage-bait. Oh no, look what those gosh darn Teslas are doing now!

The human fear of new technology is the only remarkable thing about this story. That, and perhaps, the fact that some place in the UK couldn’t find a tow truck with a winch for 9 hours to clear a busy highway.

> But I’m surprised that the electronics have _no_ power redundancy,

They do. All the auxilliary stuff is on a 12V bus just like on any other car, powered by a separate 12V battery. I don't know anything about the parking break per se, but this isn't remotely as simple as "the car can't be towed when the main battery is dead". We know that's not correct; this is hardly the first Tesla to run out its battery, you can find people doing this deliberately on youtube as a test!

It's some other failure that locked the brake. And it's unique enough to be notable, and it's a Tesla, so of course it's going to spend the day on the front page of HN while we all endure the incessant tut-tutting of the hacker class who think the bug is much simpler than it is.

Folks, disabled vehicles block roads all the time. Stuff breaks. Cars are complicated. Why do we not care if it's a Renault or Suzuki?
This is imo the real question.

I would have just instantly grabbed some go jacks / wheel dollies like some repo men use to get cars.

Well, in some countries, instead of clapping two hands, people clap on tables or armchairs.
There is enough battery to put it into tow mode after you "run out". Assuming he either didn't know how or perhaps you can even run through that in service mode.
>Everything I could do in the 1970's, 1990's, 2010's I can do today just fine without a phone.

I think it's a few things.

- Integration of stuff like GPS that can be done on a dedicated device but are easily done better on a phone through an app.

- Ready access to information on the go. (Much of which wan't really available on the go until the 2000s.) There's a lot you could do once the smartphone came out that you didn't have access to before. But there's a lot in general I can do today that I couldn't in the 1970s/80s.

- And yes, there are apps for things like parking, public transit, rideshare, airline notifications etc. that are more generally relevant if you're traveling and in cities.
Running of electricity is incredibly difficult on an EV. Also, in what way does a parking brake or a transmission prevent towing? You lift the car onto the tow truck bed like any other tow job. It doesn't take nine hours to hire one that can do the job.

Ok, so you couldn't give sources for your first claim, so now you're moving the goal posts.

Let's try again. Can you give sources showing that AI effectively models the economic decisions of non-rational actors? Anyone who can predict the economy should be able to quickly become very wealthy.
>Sure, whatever - the point is that they're different objects, and results about one are not results about the other.

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by "same" and "different".

By "same" do you mean =(x,y).
And by "different" do you mean ¬=(x,y)

Or do you mean something like same(x,y) = { 1 if ??? else 0 }

>A classical function X -> Y is a relation such that if `(x, y1)` and `(x, y2)` hold then `y1 = y2

You seem to be confusing syntax and semantics here, and the infix notation isn't helping...

What does =(y1, y2) mean?
What does =(x,x) mean?

>No such thing: it's a metatheoretical judgement, not a theorem.

What do you mean? Judgments are first-class citizens in Univalent Mathematics. a:R is a judgment that object a is of type R. This literally means "a proves R", and the particular expression "first class citizen" has well-understood meaning in Programming Language design ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-class_citizen ).

>`stringToUpperCase (5 :: Int) :: String` isn't a false statement, it's just inexpressible nonsense.

So I must be a miracle worker then? Expressing the inexpressible nonsense...

In [2]: stringToUpperCase(int(5))
Out[2]: '5'

>No. Self-information of a given outcome with respect to a random variable, which is probably the most common sense of the word.

Speaking of randomness in a classical setting, this function exists, right?

f(x) = { 1 if random(x), else 0 }
To be a bit more precise, to me it feels like a point that’s behind my face just rotates to the back, almost as if it is rolling in a jar affected by gravity.

It shouldn't be as emergency stops can be performed at any point in time - usually when there's an emergency. Obviously it's important that following drivers have left enough space so that they can react in time, but that's down to their driving skill (or lack of, if they're too close).

I'd consider that autonomous vehicles should apply the brakes if they find themselves in an uncertain situation as reducing speed is going to minimise any impact. However, this was being driven acoustically and the handbrake shouldn't have been applied automatically by the power running out. At the worst, if a handbrake fails and can't be used, you can always shove a couple of bricks under the wheels to stop the vehicle rolling.
There is also the option to just tow the car.

They are automatically generated, the algorithms have a bunch of tricks, but essentially they merge together the most frequent token pairs until a desired fixed vocabulary size is reached.

So, for example (looking at GPT-3 tokenizations - you can test them at, for example, https://platform.openai.com/tokenizer) "517" is a single token, but "917" is two tokens; and there's no explicit link whatsoever between the token "517" and tokens "5" and "17" other than what can be learned from data. This works well enough for almost all tasks, but fails in edge cases like when someone makes up a toy challenge that asks how many fives are in a large number.

That's super indirect it doesn't mean that there is a regional effect. Maybe a rich quartile county in the deep south has one multibillionaire who has good healthcare and a hundred thousand poor people who have bad healthcare because they are poor. Or maybe the poorest quartile counties in that 'left coast' region are still richer than the richest quartile counties in the 'deep south' region, probably not but they don't say.

IBM has a proud tradition of slapping on special-purpose function blocks, to keep mainframes performance-competitve in the long evolution of System/360. Of particular interest are the "specialised-function-assist instructions", from SHA-256 signature computation, AES-128 encryption, and ECC-* based public key cryptography (p81) to DEFLATE de/compression (p68), DMA timestamping (p86) and good 'ol vector HPC vector computation (p129), including packed decimal vector computation (p130).

These would be 3DS-RDIMMs: The DRAM dies are stacked using TSVs on top of a per-stack buffer die [1] and those buffer dies are hanging off of the data bus and the module's C/A bus register.

I don't think this is right at all? I think it's backwards... If the $1M is a capital gain from an investment you made multiple years ago - which is what windfalls from "work on risky things" actually look like - it will be taxed less than ten years of $100k of income.

I think you're right if you're thinking about lottery winnings or other kinds of non-capital-gain windfalls like a gift from a benefactor, but those aren't the result of valuable "work on risky things".

The token set (vocabulary) is usually generated by using Byte Pair Encoding on a corpus that you think represents your training set well.

BPE starts with a set of tokens consisting of single character tokens. Then the most frequent pairs of tokens are merged into single tokens and added to vocabulary. All occurrences of those pairs in the corpus are replaced with the new merged tokens. This process is repeated until the vocabulary is as large as you want it to be.

Advanced Go: Building a Reflection-Based Debug Console
The part of your brain that can interpret writing and language is not active in dreams, so it’s not possible. What happens when you “read” in dreams is you sort of go through the motions and already know what’s on the page, so your brain is skipping the part where the text is processed by the visual cortex, language center, etc.
Do you want an experience, or do you want information? The right writing style is very much dependent on the answer to that question.
