Ted Chiang is a really smart guy, obviously benefitting greatly from his Asian genes, but he seems to have a deliberate blind spot in his essay specifically regarding family cultural attitudes about schooling. Academic success is VERY strongly correlated with children doing homework, and expectations by the parents of children succeeding academically. Asians are infamous for this, and black families are not. Black families mostly have only one parent these days. Fixing the genetics is a start, but culture also needs to be fixed. But we can't do that, since it's obviously racist. Too bad, so sad, nothing can be done.
I did say “then Chrome…”. Over time I found more and more extensions being Chrome-only. This before the manifest harmonization, of course.

A quick example that comes to mind is The Great Suspender (the tracking-free community edition). Firefox’s alternatives were really not very good. (I’m not sure how it is now.)

They audited the source code. I was talking about the executables on their website. Intelligence agencies tend to substitute binaries with compromised executables when they are downloaded by specific targets. We know that's what the NSA was routinely doing (among other things like hardware interception) from the Snowden revelations. There is no reason to believe DGSE works differently. Of course, it is also possible to provide compromised source code to specific targets if necessary.
I'm a bit miffed that people are getting downvoted for not realizing this is not the default behavior, when I have no idea how you were supposed to gather that from reading the article. I did actually check to see (in Ubuntu 23.04) but honestly, that doesn't clear up much given that I have no idea what different installation modes of Ubuntu may yield.

Yeah, it's fair enough that it completely negates all of the points to be made about distro security, but also, it's not really our fault that the article is unclear.

No, but they might take MDMA or LSD, or they might abuse opiates or sleeping pills. "Drugs" isn't a codeword for some specific kind of thing, it's a very amorphous class of substances that changes significantly depending on who you ask.

The fact remains that a lot of people you might not think are drug users actually are. You're just not seeing them because they're functional people who lead ordinary lives. There's a whole host of different subcultures where drug use might be accepted beyond the desperate poor. And those subcultures generally have different norms around what is acceptable and what gets you shunned.

The police will arrest you just the same whether they catch you with a couple of MDMA pills or a baggy of crack.
Framework is really appealing as thinkpads get more and more soldered everywhere. And pricing is surprisingly ok, especially if you target 64gb of RAM and a big ssd that you buy on your own and install yourself. You can almost buy 3 amd framework with those specs for one macbook pro.

Only thing that I'm afraid of is the build quality of the chassis that doesn't really seem on par with premium thinkpads and other business laptops.

Yeah, they do store n-dimensional vectors, but they're part of the LLM zeitgest. The basic idea is that given a particular corpus of text, an LLM can produce a very high-dimensional vector that encodes the features of that text, according to its training parameters. Vectors that are near each other in the high-dimensional space represent pieces of text which the LLM "thinks" are similar to each other.

So, by using databases which can efficiently answer geometric nearest-neighbor questions, you can quickly search for chunks of text that are similar to each other.
Most of the time these days, you get a nurse practitioner or similar. Their “Dr.” is increasingly a PhD, which is rather nuts.

They have only a small fraction of the training and experience that an MD has.

As someone with a background in mathematics that had to deal with lawyers, regarding something as mundane as buying a house, I would say that they indeed do not operate on logic and reasoning. I mean no personal offense, since you mention you attended law school. It was just very eye opening how much of a constructed language lawyers speak. In dealing with contracts, I found that the contract itself was effectively meaningless. The important part were its interpretations and what could be litigated or not, mainly set by precedent. It was such that no application of logic and reason could be applied to the contract. Not to mention, I had to correct several mistakes in the contract.
What to cut total NPM traffic by 50% or more overall? Easy:

Create a shared Brotli dictionary (or zstandard or whatever) based on the top NPM packages by download bandwidth and then have all npm packages compressed using it.

I think this can be done server side by npmjs.org, where NPM packages are recompressed in this fashion after upload using the shared dictionary, thus it is an optional feature and fully backwards compatible.

Riffing on this idea because of this new chrome feature, which does this in a flexible fashion:
https://chromestatus.com/feature/5124977788977152

EDIT: This recompression of packages may be insecure as the digital signature of the package no longer aligns, but then the trick is to sign the contents of the package rather than package itself.

I don't think Google generally opensources _products_ - either it always is open source (Android) or never is (web apps). I can't think of an example where a product was closed source, released as open source, and continually maintained.

Open source at Google generally takes the form of libraries rather than products. Often, that's something that an individual engineer is working on, and it's easier to open source than get the copyright reassigned (since Google by default owns any code you write). There are also libraries that are open sourced for business reasons - e.g. SDKs. You can tell the difference, because most individually-driven libraries contain the copy "Not an official Google product" in the README.
If you want to work in advertising and marketing, yes. If I recall correctly it's reputation in those circles is equivalent to FAANG in tech.
Now I get it, you're talking about subzero fahrenheit temperatures. So sub -17,7 temperature in normal people's units ;)

Because subzero celsius temperatures are not an issue. Scandinavia and Finland have a lot of EVs, and also big distances to drive. Doesn't seem to be a big issue.
Even in Europe that's a lot of cheese. People with 700 Eruos to blow on a phone will most lively get a iPhone or Samsung flagship. The only people I know who own an Fairphone are other tech workers who browse HN a lot but that's a very small demographic.

Twice as long. As fast as the original would be "0x slower" or "1x as fast".

People should just use duration instead of speed as you did at the end: "takes twice as long", "takes 1/3 of the time..."
> exhaust energy recovery turbine

That would be a turbocharger. And electric turbocharger and driveshaft turbochargers are also a thing.

The problem with turbo is backpressure from the exhaust energy recovery part, which compromises some other engine tuning. And the problem with traditional superchargers is low efficiency + high boost in low RPMs, same issue.

A centrifugal supercharger is relatively efficient and basically only does anything at high RPM, so from what I understand it won't "upset" the compression of the rotary or highly tuned NA engines as much as a traditional turbo/supercharger.

The most interesting thing about zstandard is how easy it makes it to train custom compression dictionaries, which can provide massive improvements against certain types of data.

I'd like to see how well a custom dictionary trained against a few hundred npm packages could work against arbitrary extra npm packages. My hunch is that there are a lot of patterns - both in JavaScript code and in the JSON and README conventions used in those packages - that could help achieve much better compression.

I figure it’s just an interesting perspective on the perceived need of AI alignment.

If a user posts tasks to mechanical Turk with a view to doing something of dubious ethics, is it up to the mechanical Turks to refuse the task? Is it up to Amazon to enforce their terms of service on the user? Or does liability for any ethical breaches begin and end at the person who set the task in the first place?

How does that inform us about the liability Microsoft should have for offering access to a version of ChatGPT that willingly solves CAPTCHAs?

And given that, why do we think Microsoft tried to teach it not to solve them in the first place?

The error is more fundamental. Even if they had some number like 'only 1% of crimes were predicted and that's bad', that's a right answer to a wrong question. Why do they think 1% is not good enough? How big does it need to be before it is good? 2%? 50%? 100%? If you can't give any answer to that question, then it doesn't matter what the number really is because the number still doesn't mean anything.

(The right number is probably extremely small, because crime is very bad {{citation needed}} and even a small chance of prevention is useful.)

This is why I mentioned "old vmware" which before VT handled these types of critical sections through an interpreting emulator while executing as many of the x86 instructions as possible unmodified. That is to say, they already did the hard part of breaking out the tricky bits. I was kind of hoping maybe QEMU had a similar strategy for x86-machine-on-x86-usermode without requiring virtualization extensions that could just be executed directly through rosetta (on macos or linux)
We can both agree that transparency is the ideal and still recognize that’s not how incentives are aligned. In general, there are far more downsides and risks to PDs regarding open sharing of information so they generally should be expected to act accordingly.

E.g., I’d like to live in a works where lawyers are concerned with justice rather than “winning” but I’m not shocked when they act like winning is the goal.
It's really too bad that human conflict in the form of an arms race is what's driving the development of these things.
You are right about this, but in this case a vector would represent a collection of words. Getting the k closes entries would show the k closest text entries to a given query. This is super interesting for "semantic" search, where you are looking for meaning as opposed to just a textual match.

For example, the text "chocolate milk" is all the same characters as "milk chocolate", but likely have very different usage within the context of retailers or cooks. So, their vectors should be very different.

> Should the bar for driverless cars be "able to predict when other vehicles will hit a pedestrian and roll that person in their path"?

No, but in the case of pedestrians crossing the street it may be reasonable to expect a driverless car to avoid getting into a situation where that can happen. This will depend on details of traffic laws where it is operating.

What are the clearance rules in California for staying clear of pedestrians crossing the street?

Here in Washington it is that if they are in your half of the street or within one lane of your half you have to wait. For purposes of this rule your half of the street is all lanes moving in your direction.

No Washington driver should be going until either the pedestrian finishes crossing or there is at least one lane between the lanes in the car's direction and the lane the pedestrian is in.

If a human driver here goes early and hits the pedestrian and the pedestrian ends up in an adjacent lane they should still be safe from other cars that did not go early.

I've used Arc as my main browser for a few months, and loved the Spaces feature that lets you sandbox cache and cookies. Very similar to Firefox Multi-Account Containers, but the UI is better because you can swipe to the next Space and only see the relevant tabs open.

I've switched back to Firefox for a few reasons:

1) Arc is based on Chromium, and I don't want to support Chrome

2) I just couldn't get used to the layout with the tabs on the side instead of the top. It makes the the window narrower, and I found that this worsened my experience on many websites. Yes, you can hide the sidebar, but it's a pain in the ass to always toggle it.

3) I don't think they'll be around in a few years. They're heavily VC-backed, and while they say that they want to monetize via paid team features, I don't see how they could generate enough money to justify VC-style growth. Most likely they will be sold and integrated/closed, or they will shut down.

4) They're "quirky" CEO that does all these videos and weird product updates really irks me in the wrong way. I realize that this is subjective and others might like it, but still.

Yes, you can charge an EV from a generator, there are already devices for that on some service trucks.

There is another option (although not recommended by any manufacturer): If the EV still goes into drive mode, just tow it for a short distance and use regenerative breaking. You should be able to gain 2-5 times the towed distance as range.

Edit: this technique is not recommended, although it seems to work. It’s very important that the car still turns on and you can select D. Otherwise the car may get severely damaged. If the car is off, it should not be towed more than about 5 time its length. When you tow it, there is a lot of electricity generated in the engines, even if it’s off. (There are exceptions from this rules though).
It is shit-testing, only with a different taste. Shit-tasting.

You see this in personal ads all the time. Women get so many low-effort messages they introduce a canary of sorts ("start your response with the word purple") just to filter out the ones who didn't pay any attention to their profile. Reasonable enough, right?

Where it becomes shit-testing is when their profile is a novel-length manifesto. It demands a lot of commitment upfront for no guarantee of returns. But if you're willing to put up with such demands, enjoy pursuing a relationship with someone who makes a game of testing the boundaries of others. It'll be so much fun for you.
