So funny to constantly see these kinds of adjectives in titles about this topic. I thought that we had models that showed us just how shitty things are going to be, no? It can't be "unprecedented" decade after decade, either we have models we can rely on and we predicted it or we don't and need to accept that this whole idea of "tipping points" and climate change irreversibility is just a guess.

If we used this language with any other subject, HN would be up in arms about how sensationalist the headline is.
How can you tell whether the problem is due to a software bug or due to a hardware fault though? The software could have thrown the "catastrophic failure, stop the world" exception due to memory corruption.
In terms of saying racist things, it is. It’s just words. Despicable words but just words none the less. I’m not saying being offended is wrong but rather you have no right to not be offended.

If someone wants to stand on the street corner and spew racist comment after racist comment it’s their right to do it. They might get beat up or protested or exposed for the community to judge and shun socially, but it’s their right however disputable it is.
Yeah, it's annoying. On my Samsung phone I have a "save image" option, which I can then view the photo in Google photos which has the Google lens option that will show the password.

The 767 has a lot more space than Gulfstream. That means private bedroom or even whole private apartment.

I was going to say extra range, but the 767-200 only goes 3900 nm compared to Gulfstream V 6500nm.

Boeing does sell Business Jet versions of 787 and 777 which have much longer ranges. And lots more space. Could fly half way around the world without stopping staying in your flying apartment.
I live in Toronto, and I find it weird that people have too-often acted in surprise to find out I don't own a car. Considering everything is in walking distance, or fairly quick transit ride away, why on Earth would I bother paying for parking both at home and at work, sky high insurance, sky high gas, plus maintenance and all the rest of that jazz.

One is convenient. The other is a total and recurring pain.

Besides, I could rent a car any time I wanted, yet I only have one time in my life.

This seems like an asshole move when there already is Librivox for decades.

Many of the readers of Librivox are not great, but I'd rather have the worst of them over AI.

Even a future better AI that knows more about when to pause and how to pronounce things the right way from context, will still be lifeless because it can't actually understand the full context, only the surrounding words. The actual full context of a given word or phrase requires not only pattern-matching the surrounding words, but having a sense of self and inserting that self into the described situation, and applying that selfs response to that, which will be not only more lifelike and realistic and meaningful, but also be a bit different for every different human reader. Good readers aren't simply doing it more correctly, their own unavoidable interpretation of the text is in their reading, even if they are trying to be a robotic neutral newscaster.

Sometimes I'm actually annoyed by how a reader reads a given sentence differently than I would have. Like they failed to realize what the thrust of the thing was and focussed on some other part. But even those are better than an AI that will either always apply the same algorithm, or worse, maybe varies it but only randomly, not as a result of having a personality that colors everything.

I guess at some point they will be able to make AI's that can fake the quasi-random-consistency of a personality. If someone can describe the problem like I just did, then someone else can code up a response to it. And then it will be good enough to essentially fool most not-very-perceptive people, and that will suck because it means we won't have a choice to avoid that crap any more. Much content will simply only be produced this way, because it will be cheaper to make and good enough for most people, and so will sell. Once it's good enough to sell, that's it, that's what happens almost exclusively after that. Like bluetooth headphones.
It's worse than you know. Ancient computer systems, non-ASCII character encodings, analog phone lines, and ticker-tape weather.

You'll also be surprised to learn there's still parts of the US where there's no radar or radio coverage with ATC, if flying at lower altitudes. (Heck, there's still a part of the Pacific Ocean that doesn't have ATC service at any altitude.)

Aviation drove a lot of the early developments in networked computing, which also means there's some really old tech in the stack. The globally decentralized nature of it all and it being a life-critical system means it's expensive and complicated to upgrade. (And to be clear, it does get upgraded - but it in a backwards compatible way.) Today's ATC systems need to work with planes built in the 1950s, and talk to ATC units in small countries that still use ancient teletype systems and fax machines.

But yet it's all still incredibly safe, because the technology is there to augment human processes - not replace them. Even if all the technology fails, everything can still be done manually using pen and paper.
but that definition doesn't align with the actual debate that is going on about LLMs abilities

Yes because the debate is nonsense.

Seeing output from GPT that demonstrates intelligence, reasoning, or whatever, and saying it is not real reasoning/Intelligence etc, is like looking at a plane soar and saying that the plane is fake flying. And this isn't, for anyone who thinks it is, a nature versus artificial thing either. The origin point is entirely arbitrary.

You could just as easily move the origin to Bees and say, "oh, birds aren't really flying". You could move it to planes and say, "oh, helicopters aren't really flying." It's a very meaningless statement.

The point most people seem to miss is that internal processes are entirely irrelevant. If you have a property you are interested in and a way to test for it, then the results of that test is what is important, not whether how it works at the arbitrary origin is exactly the same as how it works at point 2. In this case, it's even worse because since we do not know the internal processes of either LLMs or humans, the argument is really " oh, how I think the origin works is different from how I think point 2 works, so it isn't really flying".

When you say upsetting things to bing chat, you'll find the conversation prematurely end.

Someone can cry all they want about how bing isn't really upset. How it doesn't really have intention to end the chat but those are evidently useless definitions because the chat did end.

A definition that treats Bing as an intentful system is more accurate to reality and real consequences. It has the predictive power that the alternative does not.

Someday someone may find themselves stabbed and killed by an LLM piloted robot because of something they said or did. Something that would predictably get someone killed by a system with "real" intent. So what, Are you going to be raised from the dead because the LLM "wasn't really upset" or "didn't really have intent" ? It obviously doesn't count right.

> What if it accidentally schedules another flight in the same time and place?

Flight plans are not responsible for flight separation. It is not their job and nobody uses them for that.

As a first approximation they are used so ATC doesn’t need to ask every airplane every five minute “so flight ABC123 where do you want to go today?”

I’m staring to think that there is a need for a “falsehoods programers believe about aviation” article.
I live in the Apple ecosystem and I know HP does a lot of consumer-hostile stuff but I bought my HP laser from Costco (who refuse to sell subscription printers) mostly because of it's support for AirPrint with no additional software.

And it works, the quality is great, and I'm happy. Didn't have to install anything.
Many people who upload videos to Youtube are getting paid based on the number of people who view the video. They also may choose platforms like Youtube in order to maintain some control over the distribution of their videos.

I believe that shielding is for the reactor itself, and while the rest of the buildings are hardened, they aren't that hardened.

I wonder if targeting the control building, or the transformers/electrical shit that connects to the grid with a jetliner would be more effective. Or maybe a shipyard with 'nuclear vessels'.
The difference is that a sports game is generally not being organized by a group that's trying to use those consequences as an intimidation tactic to get what they want. I could say, "accidents with explosives at fireworks shows accidentally kill people sometimes," but there would still be a difference between putting on a fireworks show and bombing a mall.
So you’re stopping every how many miles? 40% of 300, so 120? Seems like that adds a significant amount of travel time, roughly 1/4 hour for every 2 hours traveled.
VT-x is not a RISC-V feature, it is a feature of x86 cpus, which is definitely not deprecated. VT-x is (as far as I know) the technology that allows acceptable speed virtualization of virtual machines, which is the backbone of cloud computing. RISC-V H extension is not applicable to intel CPUs even if it provides features that solve similar problems (ie it cannot possibly be the replacement).

I was thinking of plain old spying by identifying presence of people, perhaps enough characteristics to determine who it is.
Photoplethysmogram devices like this measure blood volume. That works great for your heart rate. It is pretty terrible for your blood pressure. In theory they measure the speed an artery expands as blood passes.

1. Since they can't measure blood flow, only volume, they can't tell if your BP is low or if they just aren't centered on an artery. They can't measure diastolic, only the difference between systolic and diastolic.

2. Since they don't know the flow, they can't even guess the size of the artery, so they're basically just guessing how much it should be expanding. They also have to know how tall you are to even get close.

3. They measure the derivative of the increase in volume to try to correlate that with blood pressure. That's very variable with the specific artery and the condition of the artery- there's a lot of (primarily age) variance in artery elasticity.

Papers indicating accuracy should be subject to high scrutiny. The device basically starts out by guessing that you're healthy and normal for your age and height. If you take a bunch of people that are healthy for their age and height (most people), the device will perform very well. It will also be practically useless.

If you have ideopathic large swings in blood pressure, like POTS, or fainting, or migraines, a device like this can give you a bit of warning. It will not give you accurate readings or track long-term changes, and those issues are made much worse because of opaque calibrations etc.

How does YouTube operate the service with this feature? If enough people use it to download all the videos they want and then play them back without ads, then they're just hosting and delivering video for free. It's no secret that YouTube is already subsidized by ad-supported views and premium subscribers.

And YouTube Premium already offers a Download button. It downloads it in the exact same format as they send it to your device in - m3u8 parts.

> Swift code that can be called from objc, right? Could you write a wrapper/shim in Swift for "object c"

you could, but there are some things that are harder to represent such as structs and complex enums (since everything "objective" in obj-c is a reference), or even async/await based api's (perhaps with lots of black-based wrappers?)
You have your facts correct and your conclusion backwards.
The simple answer is that most of the folks who have more kids will give rise to a generation of have-nots, and they will be on the unhappy side of an ever-widening gap between the super educated elites, and the merely educate plebes.

It's silly to think that people in the states can simply drop their standards to that of their grandparents, when most of the "grandparent generation" of boomers grew up before most manufacturing jobs were either outsourced or automated.

The mass automation of white collar industry that will happen withinin 20 years might reverse the dynamic IMO... where industries with ample training data for AI (mostly white collar knowledge economy stuff) will begin to automate as well, and blue collar jobs like construction (which may take longer to automate) will take much longer.

I think the purpose of taking BP in a regular doctor's visit is also just screening, not to make a final diagnostic decision. If it's normal they can move on, if not they can do some followups to determine whether it's genuinely an issue. Very many basic screening tests work like that: they're effective at determining something is not an issue, but not at definitively saying it is.

Personally I definitely have some degree of "white coat" syndrome, doctors offices just put me on edge for whatever reason. Several years ago as a healthy 30 year old at a routine office visit, the doctor found my blood pressure to be right on the upper bound of normal. She didn't immediately take any action on it, she just told me to stop by a local pharmacy and use their automatic machine a few times over the following weeks, and to enter the numbers in her organization's medical chart app. I did, it was normal, she sent me an email "thanks, looks good!". Case closed.
Utterly horrible idea that 100% will be abused.

It also leads to some weird cultural downstream effects. There are all these influencers convincing young men to dedicate everything to their jobs/side hustles and adopt Musk-esque narcissism/low empathy communication styles (before that it was Steve Jobs). They ignore that Musk has a deeply abnormal personality that fails him outside of the particular set of circumstances that he excels at, and these young men don't share most of the same traits.

You should choose your reward function based on your personality, your values, and what you're capable of given your traits, abilities, and circumstances, not based on what "worked" for the statistical anomaly that is Elon Musk ("worked" is in quotes because ranking #1 on the money leaderboard probably shouldn't be most people's personal life goal to begin with).
Also EV: ~0 minutes because you plugged in at home/hotel last night and get to walk away.

No need to drive to a gas station, pay, and watch something flammable for several minutes. Just plug in and go to sleep. Different technologies simply have different trade offs.

Waiting 45 minutes at a charger is also really inefficient. At 350kW a 100kWh car would fully charging in 17 minutes but unfortunately things really slow down above 80% charge, optimum is closer to 10-50%. This makes longer stops wasteful unless you happen to want to stop for something else.

Optimizing for speed it’s ~10 minute stops and fully charging at night thus skipping multiple fueling stops.

HP laser printers are not on the subscription model? I sought out a Brother laser printer specifically due to several bad experiences with lockout on HP printers.
There are at least two scenarios where that's definitely not true.

(1) Planned, time-limited expenses that decrease net worth. For example, a child's college education. If you've budgeted for it, this is fine.

(2) General market wobbles. My net worth increases or decreases by tens of thousands in a day, just because of what the market did. (No, I don't have all of my assets in the market, but enough.) If the long term trend is downward and/or not keeping up with inflation, that would be a worry, but a dip here and there is also fine.

Is net-worth decrease a problem outside of these scenarios? Even that depends. It's probably still "no" if there are more income sources (e.g. social security, inheritance from parents) that haven't kicked in yet and will make Number Go Up again when they do. Less obviously, if you're going to run out of money at 150, that's not likely to be a problem. If it's at 75, that very likely is a problem.

It really is possible to save too much, though few do. Telling people to plan for an infinite retirement, which is basically what you're doing, is also bad advice. There's no virtue in scrimping and saving more than you really need to.
It is too early to tell. It will depend on which fork the open source community rallies against. The license change only affects a small subset of users.
Over the years, MGM has bought up hotel-casinos on the Strip, and now they own most of ‘em. If you’re staying on the Strip, odds are it’s an MGM hotel.

Some are. Some aren't. Some try to trick you. Costco only sell subscription-free models.

How is downloading a video "giving it away"? You're already consuming the content.

I guess the one angle I can see is that by watching the local copy, you aren't seeing any ads that might be on the page/video. But the website could embed ads into the downloaded video.

Really, how is this any different than recording TV on a VCR (or DVR)?
That kind of thing seems very natural if you've done any calculations on paper recently(Which most business people have) but seems strange to programmers who haven't.

You would think the ideal would be to allow everything Excel currently does, but also have some other model with more separation of code, data, and visuals, like node-based programming and separate cloud-synced pure tables.

Excel can almost cover a lot of "real programming" use cases, but not quite. The upgrade path seems to be Excel to Access to Custom app, rather than Excel to Excel but with more of the advanced features.
