Oooh, now do Orca cards next. Seattle is one of the tech capitals of the United States, and on top of the metro system just being not great, it's also technically inferior to nearly every single other major city that I've used public transit. Pick any European city, CDMX, Denver. They're all light years ahead of Seattle. Denver might have been my favorite.

Fun fact, one of the orgs that runs Orca actually wrote a blog post mentioning they were adding NFC support to their Android app (with some absurdly long timeline). That post is no longer to be found, and of course, years later, that functionality is absent.
Agreed. If it was a small download they’d instead be complaining that it didn’t come with enough software to be usable.

"A Semantics for Counterfactuals in Quantum Causal Models" (2023) https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.11783 :

> We introduce a formalism for the evaluation of counterfactual queries in the framework of quantum causal models, by generalising the three-step procedure of abduction, action, and prediction in Pearl's classical formalism of counterfactuals. To this end, we define a suitable extension of Pearl's notion of a "classical structural causal model", which we denote analogously by "quantum structural causal model". We show that every classical (probabilistic) structural causal model can be extended to a quantum structural causal model, and prove that counterfactual queries that can be formulated within a classical structural causal model agree with their corresponding queries in the quantum extension - but the latter is more expressive. Counterfactuals in quantum causal models come in different forms: we distinguish between active and passive counterfactual queries, depending on whether or not an intervention is to be performed in the action step. This is in contrast to the classical case, where counterfactuals are always interpreted in the active sense. As a consequence of this distinction, we observe that quantum causal models break the connection between causal and counterfactual dependence that exists in the classical case: (passive) quantum counterfactuals allow counterfactual dependence without causal dependence. This illuminates an important distinction between classical and quantum causal models, which underlies the fact that the latter can reproduce quantum correlations that violate Bell inequalities while being faithful to the relativistic causal structure.

Previous HN discussions have been relatively quiet on this battery:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33603281

>> To that end, SABERS has experimented with innovative new materials yet to be used in batteries, which have produced significant progress in power discharge. During the past year, the team successfully increased their battery’s discharge rate by a factor of 10 – and then by another factor of 5 – inching researchers closer to their goal of powering a large vehicle.

Also me when I was young. The only downside was a more realistic (not mature) view of the world. This has lead men to not doing things that would have been mistakes easily forgiven at that age. My real life was a bit boring (I’d carefully select friends, keeping myself out of troubles) because my imaginary life was exciting enough). Apart from the knowledge I acquired, the upside is that I can keep track of a lot of abstractions needed for problem solving.

It makes far more sense for Amazon to prop up an OpenAI competitor to secure access to state of the art models for AWS. Amazon doesn't compete on excelling in AI.

I'm not sure why one would expect unbiased reporting from an outlet called World Socialist Web Site.
I think they are referring to energy efficiency. If I remember correctly gas cars lose about 80% of their energy propelling you forward but EVs only lose about 10-20%.

My numbers might not be exact but that’s the general range.
Not sure the technology needed is quite the same.

They probably have better up there, but we know that military satellites are able to see the individual poles in a chain link fence crisply due to Trump leaking that capability a few years ago on twitter.
This is a very basic and naive, poor scenario. Words are in public domain. But somehow their arrangements makes all the difference. Can AI just solve this "arrangement" problem better than humans do. Arrangements can be liked to series of moves in chess and AlphaGo solves for this through selfplay given only the rules.

I find this annoying, and not funny, honestly.

I'll take a shot, based on the first paragraph:

WinterJS is a JavaScript Service Workers¹ server.

It's for JavaScript runtimes that aren't browsers², so that you can write JavaScript Service Workers that run (fast!) on those non-browser platforms.

¹ Service Workers allow developers to write code that runs in the background, independent of the main appliaction thread.

² Like Cloudflare Workers, Deno Deploy, Vercel, and Wasmer Edge.

It seems there's a bit of a misunderstanding about how containers work. Firstly, debugging in containers is not inherently more difficult than on a traditional system. You can indeed `tail -f /var/log/...` within a container just as you would on the host system. Tools like Docker provide commands like `docker exec` to run commands within a running container, making debugging straightforward.

The concept of separating runtime (X or Y) from data storage is not unique to containers; it's a best practice in software design called separation of concerns. This separation makes applications more modular, easier to scale, and allows for better resource optimization.

The "pull it again and run" mentality is a simplification. While containers do promote immutability, where if something goes wrong you can restart from a known good state, it's not the only way to troubleshoot issues. The idea is to have a consistent environment, but it doesn't prevent you from debugging or understanding the internals.

Lastly, while there are differences between application containers (like Docker) and system containers (like LXC), they both leverage Linux kernel features to provide isolation. It's more about the use case and preference than one being "real" and the other not.

Indeed, there is no quicker way to amass downvotes than to criticize Apple on HN. Fair or not it will attract the ire of the masses.

I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out why the tech industry and the hacker community especially can be so enamored of an anti-hacker company like Apple that it becomes part of their identity, leading to hyper defensiveness and the downvoting/killing we see. I don't feel like I understand it yet so I'd be fascinated to hear theories.
I'm pretty sure the theory of flow and how dopamine and the brain works completely explains what makes video games fun. In short, to make a video game fun it needs to balance a person's flow state (particularly in regards to learning). The difficulty lies in that a person learns and therefore their skill improves over time, and so this "curve" needs changing to compensate to keep them in the state of flow, but it needs to be done in a way that doesn't alienate unskilled newcomers and provides something truly "new" to learn. This is why you see some games that are either super difficult or complicated, which appeal to a small subset of gamers, but not to the masses, and vice versa.

The Fed chair explains the context under which the numbers look best and the whitehouse gets that data out of the omb. Saying congress controls it is more of the same "blame someone else", when the reports are crafted carefully to make the fed look like they are a tool rather than the face of the real power brokers (investment firms). Famously, Clinton complained about this.

The amount of meat people eat in the US per person (seafood not included) is only topped by Hong Kong. Also note that the distribution of people eating meat is uneven too. Especially as people hit the amount of income they can afford to buy meats for every meal.

When I was younger I knew some people that almost only ate meat for meals, and pretty much skipped anything that looked like a vegetable. I wonder if colon cancer has got them yet?
I was one of Google Voice's first customers, then a Fi customer, they horribly mistreated, left me stranded in unknown-to-me areas with no functioning service and basically told me... not nice things. Then, told me their systems could transfer my number from Fi back to Voice. So, no, I'll go with my home-made solution, Telnyx has been amazing. They (1) manually gave me an account with a Gmail address, (2) fixed their HCaptcha-before-2FA login bug for me, (3) tracked down and blocked spammers for me multiple times now, and I'm probably the tiniest customer they have. And they're not Google.
If you charge a tesla off a combined cycle oil fired power plant, both good examples of efficiency, after transmission/charging losses, you end up somewhere in the neighborhood of 28-30mpg of bunker oil.

I haven't bothered working out what the equivalent diesel or gasoline consumption is, just that both have a little higher energy density, and 30mpg is a good enough ballpark number to compare things by.

More or less, if you're concerned with CO2 output, a hybrid car is a better solution until we can build enough carbon free base load (currently nuclear, eventually fusion).

That statement compares the one set of vehicles to another. It is using “batteries and electricity” to identify one set and “internal combustion” to identify another but it seems to be talking about the whole vehicle.

In that context, EVs are massively more efficient in terms of energy used to travel than ICEVs are. Energy storage capacity and density are a different question.

Thus is a great tool, although not FOSS. But I've seen great things made with this, as it is used for Veloren (www.veloren.net), an Open Source (and open assets) voxel MMORPG written in rust. The community has created amazing things for release parties and assets with this. You should check out the project.

For me, they're systems that:

1. Have a goal (hard-coded, taken as input, etc)

2. Create a plan (of steps or tasks) to achieve the goal

3. Execute (the steps or tasks in) the plan to achieve the goal (often including tool use)

4. Sometimes they check for success against the goal and/or re-plan based on current status

Love your blog BTW
I used LLaVA. Unfortunately, I signed a NDA :( so I cannot share the code and the data is private. We fine-tuned it with example images, labels, and text prompts. We also tried in-context learning. Indeed, the prompt was static but we could do data augmentation and provide a series of equivalent prompts. We just used the prompt that gave us the best performance during initial model testing with in-context learning. I am unsure if the existence of equivalent prompts creates instability because a sentence with the same meaning should be quite close in the latent space of the foundation model so it understands them in a similar manner.
Apologize for the semantics. By proprietary I mean that I will develop a new UI, have full and whole rights to do with the project that I choose and that would be to fully open source it
There's no such thing as an "impenetrable DMZ" so I don't know why you bring that up. Even the most fortified borders can have gaping holes as the October 7 attack showed. The US can't force anything either. During the Yom Kippur War when the US was a lot more hesitant about giving aid the only result was Israel threatening to use nuclear weapons against the Arab armies.

A lot of the reason that people liked unix was not that it was "better" than it's minicomputer operating system peers but that it embraced simple and holistic interfaces. it is easy to learn and fun to use. It is a hackers os. But robust... Not exactly. My favorite quote which describes the unix viewpoint perfectly is.

"We went to lunch afterward, and I remarked to Dennis that easily half the code I was writing in Multics was error recovery code. He said, "We left all that stuff out. If there's an error, we have this routine called panic(), and when it is called, the machine crashes, and you holler down the hall, 'Hey, reboot it.'"

https://multicians.org/unix.html

footnote: Really the real reason unix was popular was that it was available. AT&T was banned from the operating system business. so it was very easy to get a copy(with source). Many university computer departments did just this. and all those newfangled CS students started hacking on and graduated familiar with the system and brought it to industry with them.
So wait: you don't want to pay Apple $99 and you don't want to pay for one of the apps that generates a pass for you, but you'll extract the cert from one of those apps thereby piggybacking on another developer's $99 payment to Apple.

That's uncool.

you can tail -f the container logs, which are in /var/lib/docker I think

I've recently come across a talk related to running openstack in kubernetes. Which sounded like a crazy idea, openstack needs to do all kinds of things not allowed by default for containers, e.g. create network interfaces and insert kernel modules. But people still did it for some reason -- on of them was that it's easier to find someone with k8 experience than with openstack one. And they liked the self-healing properties of k8.

> People today scorn at the idea of state farms but my father comes from a family of rather wealthy peasants from before collectivization and always told me that productivity was shit before modern cultivation methods, mechanization, chemical fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides were used.

In his memoirs, Khrushchev very explicitly repeats that these modernization efforts in the collective farms were done to emulate how agriculture was done in the USA and Western Europe. He went himself to Iowa to make friends with American farmer Roswell Garst and the Soviets sent large delegations to visit the state for weeks to learn agriculture from the Americans. This especially includes mechanization, chemical fertilizers and planting techniques.

Khrushchev admitted himself that it took several decades from after the revolution to return agricultural productivity to pre-WWI levels.

Of course it is, that's the point. You need to reduce the number of round trips because physics doesn't allow you to reduce the round trip time no matter how sophisticated your transistors.

AWS and Google Cloud invested in it for exactly the same reason, to enlarge their cloud businesses. Googles previous investment came with a cloud partnership, then AWS also gave them a cloud partnership, and now Google strengthened their cloud partnership to ensure AWS doesn't take it all.

So this bet doesn't have anything to do with AI, it is a competition between AWS and Google cloud. They are competing over who gets to sell shovels in a gold rush.

Best case EV charging is about 80% efficient from the grid, power transmission losses are 7-14% depending on your local grid, EV power usage, from the batteries, is also somewhere around 80%

Efficient Gasoline engines come in at 25-30% efficient, Diesel somewhere around 35%. Hybrids can boost that some, because they can scavenge energy that'd otherwise be lost, but only somewhere between 5 and 15% in real world scenarios.

That's client side. FreeRDP needs H.264 libraries to work with this branch of XRDP. Apparently, Ubuntu and variants do not include this in their FreeRDP builds, good to know it's in Debian though.
