They aren't charging the fee for payment processing, they're collecting the fee via payment processing. I don't understand why people keep making this mistake. Hell even Epic made it and lost horribly when they made it. The fee is a sales commission, you pay it because you want access to the customer base. They are allowed to deliver you literally nothing at all in additional services and still charge you a fee.

The other stuff they provide exists to sweeten the deal.

Yes, this is the trend. OAIs marketplace of GPTs is a confirmation of this. BabyAGI, AutoGen, AutoGPT are all multiple LLM/SLM architectures under the hood. While we don´t have access to proprietary data or the ability to run bigger models, the natural direction is to combine them with specialized tasks like you just described. The issue is then the interface - making it good and communicate seamlessly between models and what roles they + the architecture the models are operating in. The last point is up to your imagination.
Google isn’t holding a gun to anyone’s head. Creators are there because they get paid better than elsewhere.

Your choice is paying or not paying the people who make what you like. If you continue to use YouTube but don’t watch ads or pay for premium, you’re choosing the latter option even if you don’t like to acknowledge what you’re doing.
Sure, but the point is that those same tools that you can use to fend off the neighboring village work equally well to invade the neighboring village for their prosperous farm land. You will not be the one that gets to decide how those tools are used.

There's a line of thought that having advanced weaponry inherently promotes its use, because who's going to stop you? How gung-ho do you think the US would have been about going to war in Iraq if it weren't for the billion dollar tanks and aircraft and bombs?

Cry me a river, Google steals from creators as well when they put ads on videos that creators explicitly chose not to monetize. I would bet that Google's revenue from this dirty trick dwarfs all the money lost from folks running ad blockers.

“Orange reddit” was one of the first places that Bitcoin was discussed. Consequently there’s an awful lot of people here who know exactly how much they missed out, and express this by being saltier than dead sea whenever the topic comes up. The accepted wisdom on HN, when the bitcoin price was in the single digits, was that it was a “tulip bubble” and you should absolutely not buy it under any circumstances.
LA to Vegas is about 270 miles, which is under the 333 mile estimated range of a Tesla Model 3.

I'm sure under normal conditions, 270 miles would be cutting it pretty close, if it even makes it there at all. Luckily there are 10 supercharges along the way.

Not sure how it is for non-teslas, but I'm guessing at least a few of those places with superchargers also have chargers that will work with other kinds of cars.
I think it's not possible to fit enough batteries by weight to scale this.

Consider the Voskhod boat which at 28 tons and 60 km/h has to have ~800kW engine. To have any useful range the battery mass and charge time would be prohibitive.

Turbodiesel and/or gas turbine work just fine though.

Sounds like the solution is to come down hard on Agent Provocateurs.

You're victim blaming big-time. They're on the receiving end of bullshit and cannot opt out of it, but we'll condemn them for fucking up their response?

I'm the most cool-headed person I know and I had to talk a neighbor down from kicking my ass on camera (and in front of my own child) just yesterday. It took a superhuman amount of restraint to not even raise my voice because the adrenaline factory was in overdrive on both sides, gearing up for a fight.

The provocateur has an unfair advantage-- the element of uncertainty. Only they know they're not they're going to escalate. Defense is a losing game; it only takes one failure to anticipate a threat before you're dead or unconscious. In order to stay so calm, I had to embrace the possibility that I might actually -die- in that encounter if the guy pulled out a knife. I was armed myself, but didn't draw so as not to escalate. It's a position of vulnerability I should never have had to put myself in.

Once the adrenaline rush subsided, I had to go take a fucking nap. Cops don't get that option; they're immediately dispatched to deal with the next asshole.

OTOH if it provides cost savings does the business truly care what it is? Especially if they can spin it as 'The computer makes more informed decisions thanks to AI'.

> But starting out with something that is not Python, with the goal of ending up doing Python, seems like a funny way to approach things.

Another project in this space is Pyret [0]. The Pyret language has been developed with the express intention of taking completely novice programmers, teaching them how to program in a language with reasonable semantics [1], and progressively add language features until they eventually switch to Python. The language is integrated into the DCIC course [2].

The idea of a language that can progressively gain features was (to the best of my knowledge) pioneered by Racket. The idea is that a particular file can be declared at a specific "language level" (I think that's the terminology), which restricts the set of features available to the user. Over the course of the semester, new features can be added as they are taught. The advantage of this approach is that students do not accidentally encounter surprising semantics that they inadvertently internalize to the detriment of their long-term learning.

The Pyret project is actually spearheaded by Shriram Krishnamurthi at Brown University, who was on the original Racket team. His career has focuses on the application of PL theory and tooling to computer science education. One of his most recent publications is particularly interesting with regard to the present topic, which is an experience report detailing what happens when students move from Racket to Pyret and from Pyret to Python [3].

[0] https://pyret.org

[1] While my use of the word "reasonable" is certainly opinionated, what I mean is that Python's semantics are simply unintuitive to many novices. I've forgotten the title of the paper I read that analyzed this, but a related paper is "Python: The Full Monty", which develops a small-step operational semantics for the core Python language. Many of the specific semantics are surprising even to seasoned Python developers! Direct PDF: https://cs.brown.edu/~sk/Publications/Papers/Published/pmmwp...

I agree with what you're saying here - absolutely, bad medical advice from AI (or anywhere) can cause harm.

What I disagree with is the way that you're drawing the conclusion that there isn't even a valid argument to be made for using AI. To be clear, I didn't say we absolutely should do this - the part of my post you quoted is where I said there's an argument for it (i.e. we should have the discussion and evaluate).

If an AI says take hydroxychloroquine for COVID then absolutely that will cause harm. But that theoretical possibility isn't enough to determine whether an AI should be a source of medical advice - you have to actually evaluate whether/how often it will do that. If .0001% of the time it says to do that and the rest of the time it gives good advice on how to treat COVID at home and what symptoms to look out for that would cause you to need to call an ambulance, then the harms are probably greatly outweighed by the benefits.

This is especially true in the case that I argued - where the alternative is no medical advice, because people don't have access to doctors. Lots of people died at home of COVID when they could have been saved at a hospital - we have to consider what the benefits to them might be in addition to what the detriments of AI giving bad advice could be.

The last thing I'll say is that your position seems to be that if a source of medical advice sometimes gives bad advice, we should not use it. The problem is that based on that position, people should not go to doctors. Doctors are humans who make mistakes - plenty of evidence of that to go around. All of these points that you've made apply to human doctors:

> Giving out wrong information can easily kill people. Or permanently insure them. There's a tremendous amount of harm that can occur if you do things wrong in medicine.

> When you attach "[a doctor] said X" to something, it adds the appearance of authority.

> If you had [a doctor] say "go take hydroxychloroquine for COVID", you'd end up with a lot of people getting harmed

I want to point out that there absolutely were doctors who told patients to take hydroxychloroquine.

This is all to say that I think you have to weigh relative harms and benefits. Should someone with access to top tier medical care get advice from an AI? Almost certainly not. Somebody who has access to no medical care or to the sort of doctor who prescribes hydroxychloroquine? As I said initially, it's not necessarily a hard yes but there is certainly an argument to be made that it's a yes.

It's a design issue, not a tunnel size issue. Look at all these interior details, not to mention a completely identical exterior. It's the rolling stock from the freaking past. Obviously there were so many cost-cutting measures (or somebody just pocketed all the money) that they took the original design, which was pretty cool half a decade ago, and just slapped an air conditioner on top of it. That's it, dude. That's everything we've got. What should have been done is a complete redesign of the car, and then they'd be able to figure out how to put all the A/C ducts without having to do all this windows crap. Hell, it's 2023. The age of rockets landing backwards. We should be having panoramic windows in these carts by now.
The problem is that "skilled healthcare" is essentially a cartel which uses artificial scarcity to increase the price. You can see the counter-example in Cuba, which has an incredibly high number of MD's per capita compared to other countries, and achieves very good healthcare results, especially in the context of other metrics of development and economy.

There are so pitifully few health care practitioners compared to what we need in most developed countries I don't think too many jobs are going to be at risk any time soon if AI picks up some of the slack.

I think you are confusing investment with innovation. The investment, and the marketing to raise those funds comes before any innovation might happen. The "big bet" that the title is referring to is the future innovation that everyone knows doesn't exist yet. The upside potential for innovation is the entire point of investing in R&D.

If you think that this upside potential is not very well defined, entirely hypothetical, and isn't even clear that it will even happen, you're entirely right. Investors call this "risk".

Yes, you are right. There is no direct rail for many of these GA airports. What I said was:

> justify an extension of the Red Line

It's obvious that even with small electric aircraft, there would not be enough traffic to justify the expense of rail expansion. However, point-to-point air flights would increase the economic viability of many small cities without the need for hub airports. For example, I was driving for business for a while to Burlington, Vermont. I would have welcomed a small puddle jumper from the GA airport 5 miles away to Burlington instead of having to drive to fly out of Logan. It would've been more expensive than driving, but it would have been more enjoyable since I'm the kind of passenger who leaves nose prints on the window. Flying from a local airport to Ithaca, New York (partner's family) would be a viable replacement for driving 6+ hours.

Many more possibilities become practical once you free yourself of the hub and spoke model and combine it with economical electric aircraft.
