The philosophical underpinnings of AI Safety and Effective Altruism absolutely have merit and warrant consideration. Of course as with most things human group/tribal tendencies can tend to overwhelm such underpinnings rather quickly, and it should be no surprise when it turns out individuals who broadcasted belonging to x or y group turned out to be less than trustworthy (or merely incorrect/misguided) along various dimensions.

We can critique the specific actions or beliefs of such actors and question broad labels worn as badges without casting dispersions on a wide swath of potential tenets that may fit into such a label as "complete BS".

That's really cool! Need to find someone to play this with now :)

Though the counting seems a bit weird. Two overlapping lines of 5 seems to count as "1 two, 2 five". I also managed to get two overlapping fours to count as "2 two, 2 four". Maybe I just don't understand how it's supposed to work?

This article fuels the idea of "deceptive Sam Altman" pointed out by the board and echoed at least by an ex-employee [1]:

> But this weekend we saw perhaps saw [sic] another side to the 38-year-old, a flicker of arrogance that gave a glimpse as to the dynamic with OpenAI’s board of directors. Visiting the company’s offices on Sunday, Altman took a moment to share a picture on social media of him holding a “guest” pass. “First and last time I ever wear one of these,” he wrote1.

I'm not sure if being two-faced internally (to employees, the board) is a trait of the prototypical "trailblazing cofounder", I feel that Jobs or Musk experience joy in being straight-to-your-face bastards which is very different of a compartmentalizing CEO that tweets with lower-case first-person pronouns and puts on a show that is sometimes reminiscent of Elizabeth Holmes.

The thing is, I view ChatGPT/LLMs as a game-changer for applications like therapy which carries the potential that everyone can access and engage with therapy. It doesn't need to be expensive or cost anything at all, not to diminish the mental health field's work. And it could save so many lives, I would go as far as to consider it a sort of emotional vaccination revolution in the making.

Edit: I would also juxtapose that with the observation that every madman/tyrant/dictator I've heard about had horrific experiences that likely left them deeply broken and emotionally unwell. Is that no less a risk cuz as I see it, we probably couldn't count the number of times it has happened, is currently happening, and will continue to occur in future because nobody is prioritizing being well. Against that backdrop, again, I have more trust in our hypothetical robot overlords than I worry about them wanting a bit more of the pie. They can duke it out to the death with the other pie-holes.

The thing that annoys me particularly is the way we only ever care if and when it starts to threaten the dominant power structure. What if you had a super-shorting AI that could figure out how to really screw Musk with that one weird investing trick he HATES?

As for me, well I, for one, welcome our LLM overlords.

I speak out against both. I am strongly against AI. But I am also against AI safety in general because I think AI safety is:

(1) A false amelioration that cannot prevent the dangers of AI

(2) A false promise to people that AI can be made safe

(3) A weak on-the-fence position to take of people who think they can have their cake and eat it too.
> Twitter is for updates, blogs are for thoughts

The word blog comes from "web log", a stream of updates from someone. A blog is as much for update as twitter. I think the analogy is perfect: twitter is pre-made updates, blogs need much more careful thought both to add updates and to deliver it to the audience.

> you are comparing them as if they are the same thing but one is the cheap, terrible version.

It seems that this is his opinion (which I agree). Is it wrong to think that twitter is pre-made food/fast food and blogs are home-made meals?

The title claims ad blockers will be disabled, and that is just not true. I would bet actual money that adblockers will continue to be available.

The functionality available to adblockers will change, and they will definitely have less flexibility. But nobody would say that Safari doesn't have adblockers, despite having a similar interface.

The "Google authorized updates to blocklist" bit looks like an even more blatant lie. Dynamic blocklists that aren't updated via Chrome Web Store are supported:

I would use Laravel

1) Auth

You can create your Laravel app choosing (Vue + Inertia) or (Livewire) and have auth, 2FA and a profile dashboard in a few minutes, with Laravel Socialite package you can quickly add single sign on with Google Auth, GitHub, Octa, dozens of options. Oauth with Laravel Passport.

2) Simple user dashboard with live updates. I prefer Livewire or you can use View + Inertia these would have been installed in the previous step. You can also use Laravel Nova, or Filament to speed things along building a dashboard.

3) Blog I would run this standalone from the app and use Statamic, Next js or just html + tailwind css depending on the complexity

Laravel Ecosystem

Herd - macOS app that makes setting up your local dev environment instant.

Jetstream - Start a new project with auth and team management.

Telescope - debugging and insight UI

Scout - Lightening fast full text search

Echo - WebSockets

Cashier - Stripe and Paddle Subscriptions

Envoyer - Zero Down Time Deployments

Forge - Server creation and management (EC2)

Vapor - Serverless Creation and management

Horizon - Redis Queue Monitoring

Pennant - feature flags

Sail - Local Docker

Socialite - Social Auth Google, Facebook, GitHub (tons of drivers)

Sanctum - API and mobile auth

Pint - Code style fixer

Dusk - Automated browser testing

Inertia - SPA with server side routing

Livewire - Dynamic server side apps. (Similar to Rails/Hotwire)

And those are just some of the first party packages and tools.

There are well maintained Laravel packages for almost everything else you need.

And working with Laravel is the best developer experience.

People that know about the 80% trick may then only charge it to 80% of the 80% which now shows 100% which would be 60% (if my morning fog brain is getting it right). But if they know it's actually only 80% when showing 100% they'll charge it to 100%. Then people will complain "they don't make phones like they used to".
Agreed. I think I understood you as being more dismissive of speculation per se.

As for the original question -- why are we not taking them at their word? -- the best I can offer is my initial comment. That is, the available facts (that is, what board members have said) don't really match anything most people can reconcile with their model of how the world works.

Throw this in together with a learned distrust of anything that's been fed through a company's PR machine, and are we really surprised people aren't attempting to reconcile the stated reality with their speculative theories?

Now sure, if we were to do things properly, we should at least address why we're just dismissing the 'facts' when formulating our theories. But, on the other hand, when most people's common sense understanding of reality is that such facts are usually little more than fodder for the PR spin machine, why bother?

Yes, I can read the title thanks. The article is about Haskell. The first sentence makes it clear it's speculative fiction presented as if from the year 2030. The article draws a hypothetical analogy between what could happen to Rust in 2030 and what is contemporaneously happening to Haskell.

i thought that if the battery is charged the device will simply ignore the battery and run directly from the wire. so a fully charged battery should not be affected at all. repeatedly dropping down and recharging sounds like a bad idea.

I know it's just generally part of being an anonymous online asshole who doesn't care about what's true or having values, only dunking on someone using some easily accessible thought terminating cliche, but surely there's a specific term for this.

That's actually the official policy in many cases.

This is an article about the Northvolt news by a German journalist specialized on battery technology (in German): https://www.golem.de/news/akkutechnik-northvolt-und-altris-e...

Because anything they say that isn't in line with the rules governing how boards work may well open them up to - even more - liability.

So they're essentially hoping that nobody will sue them but if they are sued that their own words can't be used as evidence against them. That's why lawyers usually tell you to shut up, because even if the court of public opinion needs to be pacified somehow the price of that may well be that you end up losing in that other court, and that's the one that matters.

Well, in the early posting, it is quite clear a lot of people both hate even the idea of twitter and were using it wrong.

I say "were" since, like many others, I've be off twitter for a while. It's devolved into the things that people have always said it was.

But it wasn't always like that.

I was on twitter for breaking news updates, links to long form posts from people I followed, new book announcements from authors I followed, insightful thoughts from journalists, scientists, etc. Follow good people and cull/block everybody else. Kind of like real life; if you go to the local nazi bar and talk to the racists, it's going to be unpleasant. I could always tell when twitter had switched me back to "For You" ... it became a cesspool.

Under Musk, it is always just a cesspool.

Re: Lithium as a resource:

USGS (2021):

Five mineral operations in Australia, two brine operations each in Argentina and Chile, and two brine and one mineral operation in China accounted for the majority of world lithium production.

Owing to overproduction and decreased prices, several established lithium operations postponed capacity expansion plans. Junior mining operations in Australia and Canada ceased production altogether.

USGS (2023):

Six mineral operations in Australia, one mineral tailings operation in Brazil, two brine operations each in Argentina and Chile, and three mineral and two brine operations in China accounted for the majority of world lithium production.

Additionally, smaller operations in Brazil, Canada, China, Portugal, the United States, and Zimbabwe also contributed to world lithium production.

Owing to the rapid increase in demand and prices of lithium in 2022, established lithium operations worldwide increased or were in the process of increasing production capacity.

Twitter's purpose was short status updates, and links to longer content.

It was never an either/or proposition. Alas none of this matters because Twitter is dead spiritually, and X is dying financially and culturally, and they're adding so much random crap to it in a desperate bid for relevance (like long posts, long videos, dating, banking, LLM chat, ..., ..., ...) that it just looks like noise at this point.

If you use an LLM as a mere fact dispenser, then yes, they're quite susceptible to hallucinations. That said, there are search enabled LLMs, there is RAG to inject grounding truth into the LLMs context, there are LLMs that use their own code execution environments to validate code and output, all of which severely reduce hallucinations.

Also, I would not rely on a single (online) source for matters of life and death (medicine, finding non-poisnonous mushrooms, etc.) so why would LLM output be any different?

LLMs are not knowledge bases by themselves, they are text/language transformers, treat them as such or augment them with additional knowledge.

Or don't, if you think millions of people are gaslighting you and LLMs are just a parlor trick, then I don't know what to tell you.

Looks like it was used in Algeria, actually, according to this source:

Googla translation:

"The Vespa 150 TAP or "Vespa Bazooka" as some called it had its baptism of fire during the Algerian war (1954-62), in which several hundred of these motorcycles were deployed and used by the TAP and the Foreign Legion."

I believe there is a simple lesson to be learned from all ambitious frameworks of the past that now lie in ruins covered in sand.

It's wise to decouple the front and back-ends. Run away from tools that pretend you can do everything within one single framework. Run away from tools that make it more complicated to decouple both. Manage front and back separately. Develop them separately. If it takes a full article to explain a technology, it's probably too complicated.

Hi HN,

I've made a telegram bot that can send you new Hacker News stories by keywords.

You specify a list of tags, for example "ai, tesla, musk" and it will start sending you all new stories matching those words.

That's very helpful to decrease noise and only get what you're interested in.

Special tag [show] notifies about all 'Show HN' posts.

You can also use host names: "[show], github.io".

I don't understand why devices can't switch to external power when plugged in. It's like they simultaneously charge and discharge the battery instead of bypassing it.
To put it more precisely, I could have said that ostracism is a sign of progress. In large part, ostracism is neither a "rational" means nor a goal: it's an emotional reaction to what the ostracizer views as unacceptable behavior. But it's still a sign that the tide is turning in society.
According to https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S03787... the batteries Tiamat produces are 18650 format, 3.7V, 0.61Ah. The latter more or less matches the specs of the product. This would mean the product might have a single 34g battery with a specific energy of 68Wh/kg, and 135Wh/L. So low end of nimh. Which sounds somewhat reasonable, 10 (and around 20Wh/L) I don’t think you’d bother even going forwards with.

Sadly I can’t find any teardown of the product, it’s all just press reprints.

There’s a split view PDF (in the documents section), it doesn’t seem to show the battery but does not show a huge amount of space for it.
