So you just replaced the nebulously defined word "think" with an equally nebulously defined word, "reason"? Not a very convincing argument.

You do not know what humans do, no human does, as we don't have such an access to our internal representations. You neither know what LLMs do, no human does, as even though we have full access to their internals, we have little to no idea how to interpret said internals.

The most interesting thing about LLMs is the degree that they have learned to model the real world while only being exposed to words. Because those words are highly correlated not just with each other, but with an external entity unknown to the LLM, it's very likely that by learning to model that external entity, the LLM's word-predicting power will increase. LLMs are likely to have converged on a world-model simply because it makes the most sense given the available evidence.

This is no different from how human scientists create models of things they cannot directly see based on what they can see. And of course, "seeing" is not directly perceiving the external reality either! Sensory data merely correlates with what's really going on, and the brain has learned to model the world – an unknown external entity – based on the correlations that exist in the sensory language.
The best part is that you can't use setenv after fork and before execve as it is not async signal safe. As you mention, the envp-taking variant of execve is the only sane option.
Counterpoint: https://simonrepp.com/faircamp/ already exists and is a self-hostable FOSS Bandcamp clone. Does it clone every feature? No. And it definitely has taken longer than a weekend to get to where it is. But it's a one-man passion project that clones enough to be a viable enough replacement for amateur musicians that I jumped to it immediately when Epic bought Bandcamp.
A lingua franca is useful and probably inevitable. The downside is language and cultural loss. Works in translation are rarely quite as good, especially humor and wordplay. This is why various countries have "local language quota" rules for media; although derided by English speakers and HN, they're a way to keep the local language, culture and identity alive.

Indeed. #9 Opportunity plus instinct equals profit.
Because drivers should be trusted to drive to the conditions. Those that speed stupidly will do so regardless of cameras (they will just slow down when they see one which actually makes things more dangerous) and those that drive to the conditions will speed when they believe it’s safe to do so and won’t speed when it’s not safe to do so, which means cameras are actually making driving less safe because they need to drop down for 400m and then speed up again.

Every speed limit purist reply to this argument is that without cameras everyone would be going mad at 120mph no matter what. This just isn’t true and our country roads being mostly 60 mph is proof of this. 60mph is too fast for many of those country roads, everyone knows this and so most will drive 50/40/30 etc depending on the conditions.
The towns in the part of France where I am also have this limit (30kmh). Hardly anyone obeys it of course. But it's interesting how they try to enforce it. On small roads they install speed humps and/or alternative-side parking. On through roads they cannot do that, since they would slow down emergency vehicles. So they put those fyi radars, which don't seem to have any effect anymore. The real automated camera+radar installations are rare and signalled ahead (by law?), and cars always obey the limit in those areas.
Extraordinary if true. The police better have a really cast-iron reason for doing so - it's somewhat hard to imagine what that would be, in the case of a former UK ambassador. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Murray

>inb4 pitchfork raising amongst the anti-car rabble

I don't know why you think anti-car people would raise pitchforks at that. In fact this was my criticism of the proposal when I lived in Wales; there seemed to be little attempt to alter the street environments to match the lower limits. I want effective 20 mph zones and that can't happen just by changing a few speed limit signs.

My prediction was that it would backfire: motorists behaviours wouldn't change, so the speed limits would be flouted even more than they are now. Councils wouldn't enforce it consistently, giving credence to the view that it's simply a revenue-generating scheme and/or a way for police to punish people arbitrarily. This is already the case for parking offenses; Cardiff motorists can park on double-yellows with almost complete impunity. Then, populist backlash, law gets repealed, making it even harder to get support for real street safety measures in the future.

I have a preference for graph paper because I can place any idea anywhere on the page exactly where I want it to go. I only use one side of the paper so I don't have to flip back and forth between pages to remember what I wrote.

Using looseleaf paper and a central folder might be more viable for some people vs. a notebook. A nice, new, specially ordered blank notebook can be intimidating to write in. You also have to keep track of a journal to use it. Looseleaf paper is a much smaller mental investment to get the habit started - you can just throw it away if you mess up.
Lol "puffin crossing" - I like the concept, here's the link for us non-uk people: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puffin_crossing
The point I'm making (albeit glibly) is that the perception of the public is that we shouldn't be imposing speed limits to our roads that appear too slow. However the reality is that in many places we can't even travel at the maximum speed allowed on them because of the sheer volume of traffic. I don't care either way tbh.
Describing a glorified autocomplete as “thinking” is wrong on many levels; it devalues human consciousness, it attributes to a software tool qualities that it does not possess, and has implications for the entire AI industry.

If we are to believe an LLM is at least sentient and intelligent on par with an octopus, much less a human, then we have a moral imperative to fight for LLMs to be recognized as protected sentient thinking beings with awareness and agency and admit that AI industry is built on systematic abuse of those beings.

Of course, no one does it, because it would be ridiculous. It’s time to admit that people who insist that LLMs “think” are simply trying to make ML seem mysterious and magical in an ill thought through (because see above) attempt to attract more VC money.
Sure it helps to have a large costumer, its still quite different. Its not 'we've got your back' as it is 'we need to do these things and you are the best costumer we could find'.

SpaceX contracts were very contested, and while it helped them borrow money against the CRS contract, they ended up bidding so low that they basically didn't make any money from it.

For your standard NASA launch, there is also competition and you have to bid. Granted there aren't that many competitors but you can't just set a incredibly high cost.

But its important to recognize that Ariane also gets government contract launches. Not as many, but they still get quite a few. That is in addition to the gigantic amount they get for new development, far, far more then SpaceX got. And in addition to that they ALSO get a direct subsidy.

So when comparing to apples to apples, Ariane is dipping in government money pool for basically everything, development, operations and contracts. SpaceX for rockets only got very limited funds for development, non for operation but gets contracts.

So to my mind, SpaceX getting 300M for Falcon 9 and nothing Falcon Heavy, while Ariane is getting 5 billion $ for a inferior rocket that is mostly based on stuff that was already in development and is only iterative improvement over the Ariane 5.

Its patently ridiculous for Ariane bureaucrats to claim SpaceX is getting subsidies, while they literally just received 5 billion $ for a rocket upgrade. SpaceX didn't get 5 billion $ for development of cargo and human capsule plus Falcon rocket. We are talking a whole different dimension in terms of direct subsidy here.

That is also why Ariane bureaucrats just talk about how unfair everything is and have not actually entered anything into the WTO. Because they know they would get laughed out of the room. So its really just them lying and hoping nationalists and depended politicians will eat it up.
> For something different - cars going at slow speeds emit more fumes and consume more fuel.

There's research that refutes this for 30mph -> 20mph limit lowering.

"
Do slower speeds cause congestion and pollution?

Imperial College London's research into the impact of 20mph speed limits suggests they have no net negative impact on exhaust emissions. Results indicated clear benefits to driving style and associated particulate emissions. The research found that vehicles moved more smoothly, with fewer accelerations and decelerations, than in 30mph zones, reducing particulate emissions from tyre and brake wear. We have undertaken an Environmental Evaluation and are satisfied that the lowering of speeds will not have an adverse impact on the environment or air quality. The Environmental Evaluation recommendation was that no air quality modelling was therefore required.

Generally the content is solid and the speech is fluid, not halting or robotic or anything, so it legit sounds like an American person that is super fluent in Estonian.
People don't intuitively understand the difference between phase velocity and group velocity. Often you will see people speeding between stoplights, never to actually break away from the same "wave packet" that you are within. When these limits are introduced there is often no affect on journey times whatsoever.

That's nonsense. Like half the people in this thread seem willing to use a public charger and would find it odd if it requested data access.

Wow, do I feel silly now but in my defence I'm talking from experience, not having checked the stats. Maybe all those cameras are in London because wherever I drive I only see speed cameras on motorways.
Indeed and it hasn't seen any traction on HN, which really surprises me. This stuff is fascinating, especially given the variety and methods of activation. It also makes you wonder what the SOTA is right now. It's also a pretty good illustration of what a 'nation state adversary' really means.

What's the obsession with having your starter double in size? I haven't heard about it before.

I'm feeding my starter by weight, so that I can take the same amount out when I bake, and the volume of growth really doesn't come into play.. I mix in whatever I have, mostly rye and spelt, sometimes wholegrain wheat, but it hardly ever doubles in volume and the bread comes out fine at the end of the process.

If you have a nice range of bubbles sizes forming in your newly mixed starter, you'll be fine.
There are numerous references to increased congestion as a result of the reduced speed limits in built-up areas, but the UK has a fairly strong "You should always be 2 seconds behind the car in front" element to driving rules, and naively if there's two seconds between every car then the number of cars passing a particular point in a given amount of time is going to be the same regardless of how fast they're travelling, so is there a real model where a lower speed limit reduces throughput in a meaningful way without violating this constraint?
Way too many chances for buffer overflows.

It is a nice approach to learn how things work, but not a recommended approach for building anything useful.
We received confirmation of rumors at my company that they are pushing for a mandatory 50% RTO on a week.

This came after weeks of the company publishing news, asking for feedback, about our current hybrid working scheme, where most people replied they only go to the office to socialize and it's not a bad thing. Then they posted an announcement that they would try to encourage people to socialize more often at the office.

The first problem? Our office barely has enough space to fit 50% of our workforce (about 2000 employees). And then now I'm being forced to return to the office.

I spoke to some colleagues that we've seen how this was received in big-tech companies. Meta, Google, all lost key figures that decided to quit after RTO was forced on them. The same will happen with my company, very important seniors will leave and now we'll be on a tech debt and forced to find a replacement for those key figures.

Now, this decision wouldn't affect me either way because I go to the office every day. But I go to the office because I like it, because it's a fun environment, I like sitting next to my teammates and other colleagues, talking, going out together for lunch, socializing. The moment I am forced to come to the office to meet some stupid metric and help higher management avoid taxes and get a big paycheck which won't even be shared with the other employees (like me), I will stop going to the office. Because it won't be fun anymore. And that's where I ask, is higher management even fulfilling the stupid metric they are forcing on their employees?

As the article said, it's about choice. It doesn't mean employers can force a RTO only because their employees are happy with the hybrid work scheme and turn out to go to the office 5 days a week. They are happy about having a choice.
Yes, many things can be "taken to include the possibility".

In reality, however, no instinctual behavior has yet been found in humans.
Wales manages to have both bad public transport and bad roads and bad weather and bad parking. Perhaps the speed limit drop is intended to "nudge" people, but I'm not convinced the alternatives are quite so ready yet.
I’d say considering the state of many roads speeding wont be an issue anyway.

My issue is with the government being literarily _everywhere_ to the point where it’s creepy.

It really only shows that either the british society is in fact quite “uncivilised” and requires massive amounts of policing in order to “behave” or that the frog is getting boiled for something bigger.
I don't know either way whether 20mph makes sense in places like Wales, but at least in central London I think the shift to 20mph speed limits is great. Based on what I've seen, I'd be shocked if it isn't providing a meaningful improvement in safety for cyclists and pedestrians and lowering the severity when there is a car crash. And it seems like it also provides an extra nudge towards people using public transit rather than driving/ubering.
Anti-car people are also in favor of narrowing roads and making them physically harder to navigate to force drivers to respect the speed limit

There was probably a lot of slack at twitter, but as an outsider it's incredibly hard to correctly identify who is the slack and who is doing real work (and a lot of people are somewhat in-between) in such a short amount of time. Musk took a massive risk and I'm sure a lot of the collateral damage were people doing genuine work.

Keep in mind a lot of the slacker are really good at pretending to do real work and they've had a long time to hone their skills.

I remember a 4k demo that used translucent triangles (I think? my brain is showing me circles, so perhaps a fixed set of sizes and fast blit with alpha.) This created moving volumetric light and shadows around some geometric shapes, some pillars I think. Very smeary/ghostly with overdrawn shapes, but the effect was startling given it was on a 486. It didn't render full frames, but moved the model and just kept splatting.
I should clarify, there are cameras on motorways but hardly any on local roads where the 20 speed limit is used. Also, all cameras are signposted and there are obvious lines on the road so you can see exactly where the measurement is taken.

If you compare train on a train-direct path, then there will be no other winner than trains. But I can make the same demonstration with planes: “If I live in Paris, how can I go to work in New York every morning? See, the Concorde is necessary.” More seriously: “If I live in suburbia, how can I change jobs in the city for a job which is not on the same train line?”

It’s all about finding words to sustain one’s idea, not about caring for the lowlys.

> Today we have e-bikes and scooters, so hilly terrain is not a problem anymore

ebikes average at $100pm. I’m sure you will contradict me with lowballing, but there are also people for whom it’s much more expensive. And if you live with normal people, there are no bikes that you can keep secure at home or at work - we’re not all bourgeois with safe garages.
I’m a cyclist and disagree, given most urban bike vs car crashes happen way below 30 mph changing the speed limit won’t make a difference.

What would make a difference is teaching people to cycle on the road confidently and correctly (eg taking the full lane when required) and also adding a cycling component to learning to drive to give drivers more empathy for cyclists.

Both of these are too big to tackle so instead the solution is to blame speed and treat people like children.
The UK has tons of speed cameras and people certainly don't drive under the limit due to free will. Most GPS units display where the speed cameras are located so UK drivers know where to speed and where not to.
> same number of stitches

The only way I can see this being true is if a stitch in this context defined as a singular piece of thread used for attaching fabrics. Is this a common definition? In the common parlance I'm most familiar with, a stitch is one "in-and-out" of the thread. e.g., "I got 17 stitches across my forehead". In that context, I can't see how he large and small articles would take the same number.
The SCOTUS has nothing to do with this. It is the Iowa Supreme Court.

Related ruling from earlier this year:

https://statecourtreport.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/iowa-...
I agree, for roads clearly separated from pedestrians and cyclists. You can barely see what's around the next corner on those fenced in country roads, you'd be insane to drive 60 mph even tho that's the speed limit.

In residential areas however I'm totally fine with low limits + many cameras. A collision with a pedestrian at 20 mph might be survivable, at 40 it's a death sentence. And in residential areas, on well-asphalted straight roads, people will speed like maniacs.
