I’d expect that, but would have assumed it is due to there being more old gas vehicles on the road. Is that data normalized for age of the cars driven?

I assume that my neighbors 30 year old gas guzzler is more likely to catch fire than my 1 year old PHEV for example (or maybe I’m more likely since I have both a lithium battery and a gas tank).

What kind of energy density? There is energy density by volume (where it matches batteries, when you ignore all the stuff you need to keep hydrogen at 700bar safe), and energy density by weight (where it wins pretty handily against pretty much everything).
GPT 4 still does a lot of dumb stuff on this question, you see several people post outright wrong answer and say "Look how gpt-4 solved it!". That happens quite a lot in these discussions, so it seems like the magic to get gpt-4 to work is that you just don't check its answers properly.
If you're talking about climate change, the number one threat is going to be food.

Climate change is correlated with worse crops because it brings more droughts and harsher weather extremes and this will become a real problem.

I'm not a native speaker, but as far as I know a "boffin" is not derogatory, at least in British English. I liken it to "nerd" in US English.

From Wikipedia[^0]:

> Boffin is a British slang term for a scientist, engineer, or other person engaged in technical or scientific research and development. A "boffin" was viewed by some in the regular services as odd, quirky or peculiar, though quite bright and essential to helping in the war effort through having and developing the key ideas leading to transformative military capabilities.

That fun fact may be true, but ask any firefighter that has had to put out a lithium based car fire how fun that fact is. The lithium based fires require 12-15 times the amount of water to extinguish.

What can we do to make it so that motivations are more clear around messaging? It feels like so many things are ruined because industries are so good at messaging and people are so bad and disadvantaged at recognizing misleading messaging.

I took the afternoon off work to drive around town supplying school kids doing walkouts and walking across town to the administrative buildings to protest drastic changes that were announced <5 days ago, completely change 6 schools, and have apparently been planned in secret, for no good reason.

It just feels like so much of the system is impossible right now.
Good. I don't want a company to create and monopolize some arbitrary improvement over the current technology. I want those developments to be forced into standardization to compete, and offer backwards-compatibility just like USB does.

And plus... it's a serial cable. The demand for "research and development" has remained the same since they figured out how to flatten the type B connector. You can't fool anybody by releasing a 'new and improved' cable or connector that is just the same serial bus with proprietary mumbo-jumbo on top.

Apple chooses to make game support on OSX hard - and shocker... you don't get games supporting OSX. Who can we blame? Apple...

Just like Apple chooses to make Linux kernel support hard on M1/M2 and leaves it entirely up to volunteers to make it work. Who do you blame? The Kernel developers or Apple?

Maybe this will help understand it intuitively. You have a choice between doors 1 2 3. You pick door 1. You know the odds of the car being in door 1 is 1/3. The odds of the car being in door 2 or door 3 are 2/3.

Monty opens door 3, showing a zonk. You knew there was a 2/3 chance of the car being in door 2 or 3, but now you know there's a 2/3 chance of the car being in door 2 (since you know it is not in door 3).

All this didn't change anything you know about door 1. It has the same 1/3 chance it started with. Probability is all about what you know in the moment.

The math involves understanding the rules, that Monty will never open the door you picked and will never open the door with the car behind it. This is why one can't look above and say "well, there is a 1/2 chance of the car being behind door 1 after door 3 was opened and there wasn't a car there". This would only be true mathematically if the door Monty opened was random, but we know the door Monty picks isn't random. In fact, the pool of doors that could be opened depends on your initial pick. Monty was never going to open door 1 (the door that you picked), even if it was a zonk & Monty was never going to open the door with the car, therefore one can't make that assertion.
There's an iPhone app called Lungy that monitors breathing for interactive exercises, but it requires holding the phone just right and breathing at the mic. Probably not good enough to monitor under less ideal conditions with the existing mic. Apple Watch and other smartwatches track breathing rate, but the ones I know of only give periodic estimates when conditions are right, not really real time monitoring.
which shows that money alone does not solve the problem. better would be paid housing and extra money to buy food. and if housing is to expensive then the government needs to work on building more affordable housing. the city of vienna does that for example. according to one statistic i saw 60% of the population live in government supported housing.

This is stupid. There’s been an explosion in the number of gaming-capable Macs since the M-series chips came out. It’s remained largely untapped. The reason “there aren’t enough players” is because there aren’t enough people doing games for Mac! It used to be an issue of hardware and OS support, but it has now become an issue of (frankly) lazy/biased/unimaginative developers.

> in other words, under a system of UBI, taxes could go down.

That's a huge [citation needed]. You're funding a program that would cost trillions of dollars per year — e.g., $10k/year (less than I pay in rent for a 1 bed…) would cost ~$3T/year. You're talking about a yearly expense that would outweigh all of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, combined. There's no plausible way that that lowers taxes.

What a well thought out and convincing argument! Thanks for engaging in good faith. /s
When one door was opened it revealed information about the other two doors.
I think there is no point to reason about a scenario which don't involve raised taxes. I can't see it happen. It will most definitely be neccessary, one way or another. I seldom see UBI proponents take a holistic view and consider the whole economy. Most arguments revolve around individuals, with other factors unchanged. I don't think that is an interesting discussion.

In any event, around this time they found a lot of optimizations porting to linux that they then back ported to the windows client. This was 10 years ago, so the zeitgeist in the company may have changed, but I've certainly taken to heart the idea that you should be cross compiling to at least one different target whenever you can to improve your engineering. The earlier you start the cheaper the cost of doing so as well. (This isn't the only company doing so at the time talking about gains of cross compilation either, and not just games)
The malicious mindset is right in the name. It redefines my computer to exist only in context of another thing. My hardware is now an """endpoint""" and not a standalone system.
No, Ireland is not swimming in money. All they did is they artificially raised their GDP per capita to ridiculous number of $120k, but the tax rate on all that revenue is like 0.001%, so average Irishman is no better off from it.
Fuel definitely goes bad, at least once the storage is in vehicles. The petroleum industry keeps peddling all this FUD about how awful batteries are.

The difference is batteries can be improved (and there's a tooooon of $$$$ pouring into this problem) and they are improving. Petroleum is a dead end while batteries, solar, and electrical grids have a bright future and lost of room for growth.
The whole argument of UBI is that you don't need all those government programs; you just give people money and let capitalism do the rest.

TLDR: bigger models don’t necessarily mean better, future training data may be polluted with AI generated data now.

This seems like a big leap from current “known problems” to “doomed”.

It seems like smaller models are more desirable anyways (faster less resource usage etc), so a system that distills models to be smaller is more desirable than ever increasing model sizes. Additionally, there’s some evidence that using random internet data might not be as high quality as professionally written data (eg books, journalism) anyways, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see future models move away from internet scraping for everything but actual fact gathering. I think most people realize that entirely relying on “knowledge” trained into the model instead of a hybrid approach where the model handles the NLU/NLP aspect but farms out facts and computations to dedicated systems/APIs leads to worse hallucinations and results anyways.

What I want to read is the doom theory related to copyright issues, or cost issues, or energy usage issues. Those are the open questions. There was a recent article saying GitHub Copilot cost twice what they charged. If true, that spells doom for the sustainability of the product. I want to hear that Google thinks training Bard on daily facts is too expensive compared to search engines, that’s the warning signs for “doom”.

I am also surprised how challenging it often is to use both the original muse, and the muse S.

We are making an EEG headband for increasing the efficiency of deep sleep, and though we are still improving on our data reliability, using the right materials and structure, it can be much more reliable than Muse.

Earphone EEG already exists, they don't use "metal contacts", and neither do we. There are conductive silicones, and conductive fabrics which better conform to the skin and provide good signal quality and comfort.

However, they still don't work well with movement. This is the challenge I see with in-ear.

A neuroscientist I know just bought a pair of Emotiv MN8 (https://www.emotiv.com/mn8-eeg-headset-with-contour-app/) earbuds, and said they wanted to try it while running. I have serious doubts that will work, as all EGG is susceptible to movement noise.

But in ear silicone conductive tips while meditating, I think that will be fine. LGs I think are out this year, Emotiv already are, there are a few others as well.

The other alternative is fNIRS, which is more similar to an ECG monitor in your smartwatch. It is measuring bloodflow through the brain, but there is a delay between bloodflow and brain activity, so it was a non-starter for us as we are responding to your brain activity in real-time, but I think for meditation or similar uses it would be fine, and maybe even preferred.
If only things were so simple as suggested by the 60 year old textbooks!

Supermarket chains are heavily consolidated because they can use a high margin on unnecessary luxuries like packaged foods and off-season produce to undercut local grocers who had otherwise been profitable selling seasonal produce and regional meat.

“But clearly, consumers end up ahead if the necessities are cheaper at the supermarket!” you say.

But of course, with a supermarket organized to maximize profit rather than contribute to a community, they do everything they can to empty the consumers wallet. The consumer spends more overall because they are coaxed into buying the luxuries that they wouldn’t have cared much about otherwise.

Then, instead of the money folding back back into the local community and local farmers/ranchers, it goes to investors at Nestle and Mars and to industrial farming operations in some distant hemisphere. Given the importance of food and it’s affordability, everything about highly consolidated supermarkets is bad.

Supermarkets are not a good example if you’re trying to champion capitalism!
Passkeys are supposed to eliminate the need for companies to store a password so we no longer have to deal with the fallout of 40 breaches a year. In order to export passkeys it has to be in plaintext at some point, even if encrypted once again into the export file. Point is, one of the huge selling points of pushing people to use passkeys is the portability and lack of vendor lock in yet here we are with choices that are all currently vendor lock in.

So just a couple things, I wasn't referring to Disney World Gay Days but "Disneyland Pride at Night" which was an official event that was held this year.

I was at the event and it had the feeling of it being organized as a big "F U" to DeSantis. (and btw it was a fantastic event).

They also have pride elements around both parks (including a friend of mine was there just a month or so ago and they still had some pride things up. Downtown Disney at Disneyland has (or had) a giant pride mickey reef.

Disney now is past plausible deniability on this.

I do think that Disney did push the envelope a bit. I mean it was back in 2014 that they had a Disney Chanel show had a lesbian couple with kids on Good Luck Charlie.

But you are right that the reality is what Disney is doing (and most companies) is following what is socially acceptable. That is good business. Maybe they will push a bit, especially with Hollywood tending to lean more socially liberal so they are generally a few steps head of the rest of the country.

Edit: The Floral Reef I am referring too: https://i.insider.com/6492105565b9ce0018a43b68?width=1000&fo...
Not by definition. Looking at Cloudflare's summary of the attack[0], part of it seems to rely on sending a request and then cancelling it in the very same packet.

A trivial implementation might walk through the packet front-to-back, firing off requests and cancellations immediately as it encounters them. That would indeed still result in a lot of load on the servers behind the proxy.

However, a reasonable alternative would be to only collect a set of actions to execute while walking through the packet, firing them off all at once when you finish. For example, a "launch request" could create a new entry in the backend requests list with a state of "NEW". The "cancel request" part immediately afterwards could then look in the backend request list and set the state of the corresponding request to "CANCEL".

Now when the backend request list is being processed next, it'll only see a request marked "CANCEL" without a corresponding socket to a backend, shrug, and just delete the entry because there is nothing to do.

Source for either of these claims other than "just imagine?"

Of course infrastructure is a concern but I haven't seen any sources that claim we are unprepared to sustain significant EV deployment - and of course it will not ever happen overnight, so that's a strawman.
We (in the US) have very little hydrogen infrastructure but there's high voltage power lines basically everywhere - so it seems like hydrogen has the infrastructure and scaling issues.

Batteries are indeed heavy - but so are portable hydrogen storage cell that don't easily explode or require liquid cooling.

I agree with you that hydrogen isn't the answer but methane doesn't really seem to be either. Batteries and electric cars are already here - they just need to continue scaling the infrastructure and work on lightening up the vehicles.
I wouldn’t generalise your preferences to HN etiquette.

I personally like having some context in the comments as I often check the comments before the link - that allows me to see what the community thinks of the content before I check it out for myself.
But how is input lag? That’s a crucial factor for counter strike.
I doubt it would be economically feasible to convert existing cars to hydrogen. If you want to use a hydrogen fuel cell, you'd have to replace the gas engine with a hydrogen fuel cell and electric motor, then mate that to the existing transmission (though with an electric motor, things like a clutch and six gears wouldn't be very useful). Then you'd need another electric motor to run the accessory belt(s) for things like the power steering pump and the air conditioning compressor. If you want to warm the interior of the car, you'd have to replace the heater core with some sort of heat pump or resistive heating element.

If you want to modify the gasoline engine to run on hydrogen, you'd need to replace the entire top end and many components in the bottom such as the connecting rods. You'd also need different spark plugs, a higher voltage ignition coil, different fuel injectors, a stronger head gasket, and a modified ECU. Burning hydrogen at stoichiometric ratios causes lots of nitric oxide, so you'd probably have to run lean to get emissions down. This means the engine won't be as powerful.[1]

There are other modifications you'd have to do in either case. You'd have to replace the fuel tank with a hydrogen tank, replace the fuel lines, and replace the gas cap with a high pressure nozzle. Hydrogen is an odorless invisible gas, so you'd need to add some hydrogen sensors to the car to warn about leaks.

After solving all of these problems, your car would have less range and fewer ways to refuel.
