I'm almost certain TC grabbed this from HN's front page as it was discussed here recently and in the past.
Because hexagons don't neatly stack the way that squares do, using different sizes (an irregular grid of regular hexagons) doesn't work as neatly as it can with squares. If you are using actual irregular polygons, I don't think there is much value to using any particular number of sides, you might as well just use a map with arbitrarily-drawn divisions.
If I was Elon, I’d start a university. His legacy could be as strong as Stanford or Carnegie. What better way to get more government funding for a project, similar to tesla and spacex.
Musk hasn't pulled any of Tucker Carlsons interviews for being too controversial
Nope I'm not implying that, but you certainly inferred it. Legality is one marker you can use when deciding ethics, especially in a democratic country. Also we're talking about the permissive side of the law (reselling used books), not the restrictive side (not being allowed to feed homeless people).

Maybe: "In some US cities it is literally legal to apply eminent domain to kick people out of their houses to enlarge a freeway" would be a better slippery slope, but that's still a totally different power dynamic.

So yeah I dunno. Try to come up with a better analogy, but definitely keep to your slippery slope. It'll convince somebody.
I've always wondered how much there really is to fear from AI, considering how ignorant I am of the inner workings. It reminds me of when people were worried about the Large Hadron Collider creating a black hole that would swallow the Earth when it was flipped on. I know enough about physics to know that was preposterous, but I remember having a hard time convincing people without the physics background of that.
to sum it up... reporters should use static typing instead of duck typing.
You have to be a "personal accounting hobbyist" to really make your ledger match up with reality. If you have even moderately complex finances, you will have to take input from several different sources, do a lot of preening of transactions that were imported a bit incorrectly, reconcile against external sources of truth like bank statements, and in general spend time keeping your accounts straight.

How much time you need to spend to do a good job can vary widely. It depends on your data sources, your tolerance for error, and how well your use cases match up with your software's assumptions.

Balance that cost against the benefits, which are subjective -- how much do you value easier tax preparation? How much do you value peace of mind from having your financial state clearly articulated? How much do you value understanding your in and outflows, making a budget, monitoring activity for potential fraud?
I am one of the people who built this page and the Grid Status site. Cool to see this posted!

Ultimately, the solar eclipse this weekend came and went without any noticeable impact for consumers of electricity. In my opinion, this is a very notable feat.

A well-planned and executed response by grid operators to a predictable eclipse bodes well for a future where events like a particularly cloudy day, blizzard conditions across a large area, or widespread hail damage to solar farms could reduce generation by similar MW values in the middle of the day.

As the grid becomes a more dynamic and volatile place, making operational and investment decisions based on data is more important than ever before.

This is why i really love the series from Isaac Asimov. He does a great job at exploring the AI questions from the perspective of robots that care for the well being of humans. We need to think about the doom scenario but i think we also need to think about the reverse scenario. If you can build a love for humanity into AI how will it behave.

The book robot visions has a lot of short stories that explore these questions:

The fact that your EV has AM doesn't negate the fact that EMF interferes with AM radio...

The article you shared literally says "Electrical interference and reducing cost and manufacturing complexity also played a role."
Compatibility. Those features do not work on different mobile devices (depth maps on iOS for example). On top of that things like some Malis will return different levels of precision from what you ask for. The whole area of image and depth format support is a nightmare.

You rightly point out that this causes the shadow maps to be the bane of my existence. Consequently my biggest hope for WebGPU is to be able to get rid of many of these device level inconsistencies and do things like reverse the z-buffer.

Edit to add: the configuration of cascades is not optimal in the context of these games but I am using these as tests for potential future things which would need that number of cascades. At some point I decided I had to stop playing with shadow buffers and just release something!

I mostly agree. IMHO the point at which the kid departed from that was at 5:29: https://youtu.be/so_bFYoIsow?si=H4-TGu7e90U1Emaf&t=328

At that point I don't think it was clear that the cop was determined to make a false DUI arrest. That came much later.
At that point though the copy definitely seemed convinced that the kid was drinking, but he was still working through it. It's definitely possible that had the kid maintained his original demeanor that the cop might have changed his mind during or after the tests, but after the insults and stuff there was no way for him to back out without feeling stupid and like the kid "won."

Normally I wouldn't bother saying this next part but people seem intent today on reading more into my comments than is actually there, so to be clear, none of that justifies the cop's behavior and arrest. The cop was being a petty emotional asshole and his conduct was disgusting and despicable.

that is interesting - can you be more specific about markets served, or services offered? versus the HC.gov one.. Sherpa is completely hosted on AWS I would imagine?
Xbox live rape claims are obvious hyperbole because neither party was ever in the physical presence of the other. In this case it's different, because the accuser was arrested by the police so the police did have the opportunity to rape him. Since that opportunity actually existed, I don't think the claim is obvious hyperbole.

I think nobody would believe the claim in the context of xbox live, but many people are inclined to believe it in the context of an unlawful arrest. Even one of the replies to my first comment about this seems to believe the claim. (He's now been flagged for this. What guideline did he violate? I hope he wasn't flagged because his perspective lends credence to my perspective that accusing cops of raping you after a baseless arrest is not obvious hyperbole.)
Some things might get micro-optimized by AI in ways that benefit people in general, but a lot will be micro-optimized to extract more profit out of customers at their expense and to replace or coerce workers in various ways. People will wield AI the way people wield every technology. Some techno-optimists thought that TV, personal computers, the internet and other technologies would bring some bright enlightened future, pretty sure AI optimists will see the same results as the others.
I don’t find the “AI will never want” argument convincing, but even if you buy it, you should still be concerned.

LLMs can act as a simulator; even if there is no “want” on the inside, they are capable of simulating agents including an internal theory of mind that renders detailed wants. (If you want proof of this, GPT-4 is already able to solve many ToM problems and simulate agentic exchanges, albeit in limited form.)

So if I prompt-hijack GPT-10 and have it personify HAL, Skynet, Hitler, or some other agent with homicidal desires, does it really matter what your theory of mind has to say about the literal reality of those “wants”?

I’m reminded of Dijkstra - “The question of whether a computer can think is no more interesting than the question of whether a submarine can swim." (Personally I think it is more interesting than that, but I don’t see it as load-bearing in this argument.)
About everywhere I've lived police will absolutely arrest and book upon probable cause of criminal DV and they're often required to by law or policy.
Yes we should absolutely consider pretrial detention. In my state refer to ARS 13-3883 and note it pertains to criminal justice instead of civil, which are significantly different with different standards than an ex parte civil order.

If someone is an abuser by all means take advantage of criminal justice system .

Win column: ending “preexisting condition” horror, and prices supposedly have not gone up as much as they were expected to otherwise. Marketplace plans are relatively easy to compare, which is welcome.

Loss column: Insurance rate increases still bonkers and unsustainable (IOW at some point, it’ll get high enough to force some kind of big shift or reform, with a lot of suffering and economic damage along the way). No public option. Not all plans are on the exchange (this varies state by state). Even “gold” plans are kinda shit and insurance still tends to cover less each year, even as prices increase. Fewer insurers offering individual plans at all, at least in some states. Healthcare spending in general still stupid-high and getting higher. Whole thing’s still very complicated, adding costs all over the economy and putting a significant time-burden on sick people and families of sick people, all for no reason whatsoever except protecting a bunch (a whole bunch) of middlemen’s jobs.
Not sure if you're being sarcastic, but this is exactly what I thought.
I have once serviced a PC that had been running for about 9 years as a fax receiver. The inside was literally like a block of dust. Every available space had dust in it with the consistency of a pillow.

I serviced it because the PC refused to boot :') Once I removed all the dust and reseated all the boards it worked fine for several more years :)

"If you don't like the illegal version, just pay for the legal version" is an interesting take, but not particularly compelling.
> But when you are asking a journalist to report on an event minutes to hours after it happened

I don't ask this. Some push that stuff hard, because it gets ratings, or whatever the equivalent is now that we're a few decades post-broadcast-tv.

Of course, it doesn't get ratings so much as it draws from a bank of integrity that journalism squirreled away through great effort and frustration for over a century, and once they've spent all that, there will be nothing left. Hell, the account's probably been overdrawn for awhile now. And it's as if no one even noticed.
> you have an untrusted binary and you want to analyze it to determine if it's malicious, or hook its encryption function so you can decrypt the traffic and see what it's sending out of your machine. Program debuggers do this in general.

You would have to be manually looking for it then? Also if you do this to the main engine.dll you WILL be banned.

Most of the things you're mentioning you wouldn't hook the main engine.dll, you'd be hooking the system api's, directx, etc.

I'm not sure many people commenting here play competitive games, it's a ruthless cat-mouse war with cheaters. Anticheat is NOT friendly to modding any of the game code. Yes some anti-cheats will ban you for use autohotkey.
For TypeScript I'm not really sure what you would expect them to change just to avoid being Turing complete. Its Turing completeness is a straightforward consequence of its basic building blocks: iteration, conditional types, and recursive type definitions. Of course TypeScript could go out of its way to avoid Turing completeness by just specifying a maximum recursion depth or something similar, but why?

Every single time you use inband signalling you will introduce security issues, compatibility issues and various other nasty bits. This is because you are now multiplexing two levels of 'privilege' on the same channel, and I'm not aware of any way in which you could do this with perfect security. The phone system of old suffered from this (which is why Phreaking was a thing in the first place), various radio based signalling systems had it, HTML has it and terminal streams have them too. It's unavoidable, so you may as well assume that these issues are there if you decide to use a protocol that doesn't cleanly separate data and control.

The evidence is laid out, but the narrative alongside it is “gosh with dozens of pieces of evidence supporting one version of events and zero supporting the other, it’s a close call, we’ll never know what happened!”.

That’s not to say that we should jump to conclusions but the initial assumption that Hamas’ claim was truthful is ridiculous. NYT would not publish any claim Trump makes with so little scrutiny.

It’s really a tragedy that both sides of the media spectrum have now been captured by politics.

Might I make the meta comment that this is a heart-warming thread?
I don't think they're arguing against the use of citations in general, but just pointing out that anyone with sufficient motivation acting in bad faith can find something official looking that seems to support their opinion.

And letting Bezos continue stealing money from his employees is more beneficial to society?
Right. Meta, Apple, any existing company might not even be the one to make that happen.

It’s just Zuck’s goal, but I don’t know who will do it.

However, if it is technologically possible, someone will build it, and it will probably be the future platform of computing.

If you don’t want Meta or Apple to lock down that future ecosystem then I am saying you should build an alternative future before they get there.
If I've heard someone tweeted something, it's almost always in the context of a news article which embeds the tweet. Even if the embed doesn't work, the direct link to the tweet should.

I agree wholeheartedly that Twitter shouldn't be the primary vehicle for official communication from just about anything (except maybe Twitter itself).

> Are we going to consider pretrial detention for all cases of accused DV? And wouldn't that have all of the same issues with a lower standard of evidence but infringe even more on their rights?

I think we should.

The reason permanent orders are handed out like candy is because the judge wants to err on the side of caution. It's the same reason cops are more willing to use force when they have a taser than when they have a gun - there's no consequences for doing so.

Make there be real consequences for wrongly issuing a protection order, and you'll have fewer wrongly issued protection orders.

Probably not. A car defect isn't covered by the insurance. But this may depend a bit on the country and specific insurance policy.

I had insurance purchased through the exchange for a few years after.

It was just for me, a healthy(ish) man in my 20s. The year was $200 a month. The next year was $300 a month. The next year was $450 a month.

It had some good in it, such as not denying people based on pre-existing conditions (along with the limited period you can get insurance). Capping how much insurance companies can make as a percentage of revenue was a real poison pill that only served to make costs balloon. They have no reason to be more efficient, or to try to clamp down on healthcare costs. The more we all pay, the more they make, and it's their only path to do so apart from taking marketshare from a competitor.

I think we'll probably end up with single-payer sometime, which will be a real mess and a huge amount of money will be wasted for decades. We could fix the insurance system, but it'd be politically unpopular:

Everyone's insurance is insurance again. By that, I mean it doesn't cover routine care (apart from a yearly physical, just to encourage that), medications, etc. It's all very high deductible, possibly with some sort of low income subsidy (that still shouldn't go too far).

Providers need to publicly list prices, or give good faith estimates for things that aren't routine.

Cap medication prices to an average of...Canada, UK, Germany, and Japan - or some other list. This wouldn't be needed for cheaper drugs but for the ridiculously expensive ones that'd normally eat up your high deductible in a month.

Bam. Done. There'd be a few years of pain, but you'd quickly see healthcare prices drop off a cliff as consumers would suddenly care that their clinic's sleep study costs $7,000 when the place an hour away only charges $1,500, or that they can do testosterone injections for $20 a month instead of taking a pill that costs $500 a month.
This would greatly simplify the process of UI end to end automation that is too hard to achieve with current automation practices. There is a huge reliance on QA engineers to manually test most of the times even though there may be coded automation tests. It is too time consuming to write automation tests as well. A solution like Runpad has oppurtunity to accelerate time to market of app deployments with automations that can be authored in seconds and run them to identify issues clearly than before.

Exactly. In sci-fi where robots want to kill humans, it's because other humans programmed them to be that way.

Since pi never repeats it should actually contain any sequence of numbers possible though, right?

Simple counterexample: 0.101001000100001... which is 1 followed by one 0, then 1 followed by two 0s, then 1 followed by three 0s, and so on. It never repeats, but "11" will never appear.

"Almost all" real numbers do contain all finite sequences, but it hasn't been proven for pi (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_number).
>It’s law enforcement companies trying to lobby for increased chat control. They’re doing it via a scummy way of NGO fronts.

This is your hypothesis, and I agree it's a likely one. But frankly nobody knows because it's all being done with dark money. It could also be US national security contractors looking to maliciously exploit EU data networks, or even private data brokers looking for new revenue opportunities. In every case, these possibilities significantly change the tenor of the debate away from "it's just to protect children."

I'm not familiar with the way that EU governance works, but my impression is that dark-money-based lobbying is less common over there. Which is why there seem to be so few defenses against it. Here in the US such lobbying would be less effective, since our structures are more distributed and lobbying would be countered with corresponding lobbying from civil society organizations and the tech industry -- in some sense (and here I only half-jest) we US folks can be more cynical about this because our corruption is more mature.
