This is one the most recent posts on Typst with 159 comments [1]. Why it is not appear on HN past when checked just baffled me, perhaps Dang or someone as can explain.

I think the closest system to typst is Overleaf (I hope they put in their website comparison menu), but the killer feature is that Typst apparently can support local-first that Overleaf does not, and it's wonderful feature for those who are writing a lot even when camping in remote areas (ok I'm stretching a bit there).

Since the Typst's document compiler is open source then it feasible to integrate it with Docusaurus and Tinasaurus (based on TinaCMS). But again there is also Pretext that is open source that can be used as document compiler alternative to Typst [2].

[1]Typst, a new markup-based typesetting system, is now open source:

> Wouldn't it make sense that Ilya Sutskever presented the reasons the board had for firing Sam Altman, which were not his reasons.

Ilya was one of the board members that removed Sam, so his reasons would, ipso facto, be a subset of the board's reasons.
one of the first members to quit was on a team that sounds a lot like a separate team that is doing the same thing as Ilya's Superalignment team.

Try copy-pasting a link that has actual whitespace in its URL queries and see if it gets linkified correctly. Just because you can doesn't mean you should! A space is like the one delimiter that is applicable for separating out URLs from the context of a larger blob of text.

> Our "public spheres" are in fact not public, but rather are private property.

You have misunderstood the meaning of the word "public", because it is often used for government provided things. Many private establishments are public spheres, the most common example are Pubs - short for Public Houses.

So you have completely misunderstood the word and arguing from your mistaken assumption.
The problem is basically that we want to categorise the mission as either success or failure, and yet there was no clearly defined metric for success, so everyone defaults to "if it blows up, it's a failure".

On the other hand, you clearly can't call it a complete success. There were three goals that weren't met: water-landing the booster, reaching orbit (or whatever you call where it was trying to get to), and water-landing Starship.

So maybe we should think in terms of a score out of 10. Like with gymnastics, there are degrees of difficulty. SpaceX aimed very high, and delivered...ok. Maybe give them a 6/10?
Must every god damn article be about SA now? Like what is with all this drama? Is he really that important? I do not mean it in a demeaning way, I just want to know why is all the hype building around this person? I thought he was just the sales / marketing guy? No?
Oh, look who has a fancy cable modem! Back in my day, we had to do it with 14.4 kbaud modems (really) after walking to school, uphill both ways in the snow (not really).
Tellingly, your comment offers no value judgement on the contents of the suit.

This case is worth watching, IMO, as it’s 1) a judgement on whether there was journalistic malpractice (is the suit valid?) and 2) an investigation into the finance trail of these sorts of campaigns (whether good or bad).

Perhaps there’s a chilling effect on other journalists, but I don’t think so. If X is wrong, it’d be too easy to drain them of cash.

Why's it surprising to see anti-market sentiment when we've been given a very clear look at how the free market has operated in the crypto space sans government regulation? The whole ecosystem has been dominated by grifts, outright scams, rug pulls, ponzis, unregulated gambling, etc. etc. with no end in sight. Why didn't the free market step up?
I fan absolutely believe this. I'm interested in what BigMentalHealth /s feels about LLMs that can be trained off a knowledgebase like CBT/DBT/IFS and other modalities that are basically defined and representable

You can't insist on a Monopoly where much of the population can't access you (cost/coverage) and caveat that with if they can't get help they have to hurt/cause more destruction/die.

Not crazy about the structure here but you get the meaning.

Does anyone know how limited charging works with balancing? As I understand balancing only happens when batteries reach their full capacity.

A bit of background: Batteries are made up of cells which have ever so slightly different voltages. If you have three 3.7v cells in series to make a 9.2V some cells will be 3.68V and another could be 3.72V. This is bad, because when you charge the battery it is charged as a whole unit - the BMS will simply stop charging when it reaches 9.2V (or whatever it is set to). Over time the difference between the cells will increase, which could ends up with one cell being 3.9V and another 3.5V. tThis will result in you damaging the higher cells (which if overcharged enough could cause a fire) and the lower cells will not be fully charged so the battery will have a lower capacity.

My understanding: Balancing is designed to fix this. The idea is that there is a resistor in series with each cell, and it turns on when that cell reaches the set point, e.g. 3.70V. That way when you charge the battery as a whole to 9.2V, you know each individual cell is also 3.70V.

This is a naive solution though, as for larger batteries you will have cells in parallel and you can't use this approach there. The better approach would be to charge each cell individually, but as I understand even large batteries like Powerwalls do not do this.
I know because I've been both, not so much these days

>What is the commercial utility in such a large launch platform?

It's a very interesting question. Much like StarLink, I suspect he has some other plan for monetising this lift capability. I don't buy the Moon base/Mars base plan at all.
What? Apologies are good. They signal regret. They're far superior to not apologizing. And they're not a form of "humiliation" until evil people attempt to humiliate those doing the apology.
Reminds me a lot of the Let's Go Brandon crowd. The explicit and literal point of the First Amendment is that you're allowed to say "Fuck Joe Biden" loud and proud with no repercussions. Ditto for any other politician. Self-censorship to prove a non-existent point is totally backwards and self-defeating and demonstrates the level of civic understanding at play there.
It appears they have an exclusive, irrevocable license to the existing IP. They have the GPT-4 weights, and the legal right to use them however they see fit. That's the deal with the devil OpenAI made.

The text seems fine. If it was written by an AI, it’s a very good one. I find it sad that a name as big as “how stuff works” has to resort to cramming their pages full of ads because there is no other realistic way to make money.
I should be excited for something like this. I don't want to devote a computer to frickin' Windows, especially not a powerful one. If I need Windows occasionally, being able to spin it up, do what I need, then shut it down and forget about it.

I just fear Microsoft's implementation of it. Like all of Windows will migrate to a privacy- and freedom-disrespecting cloud instance. PCs will ship with a minimal, Citrix-like OS that just connects to this and you have to reup your subscription to do... well, anything. That sort of thing.
My pleasure! Yeah working with the H3X team has been great. We are going to have them out at the airport before the end of the year, letting them run some tests on our set up. Will be fun.

Ditto the obnoxious "quoted-printable" mail encoding, which turns every = into =3D.

Still more robust than uuencode though.
Apologies for the late reply but let's assume we take what you say on face value, there is still a laundry list of limitations that the developer of uBlock Origin have outlined two years ago that the developers of MV3 have flat out refused to address - abritrary limits in terms of the number of filters, talking about regressions, Google flat out refusing to provide extensions for Chrome for Android not to mention when you try the MV3 version of the ad blockers they're a pale shadow of their former self - uBlock Origin Lite block ads but pop up windows still appear but with the message that it has been blocked (telling me after the window open kind of defeats the purpose of it in the first place), then I tried AdGuard which lets through huge numbers of ads etc. basically it is a crippled experience and the only one who benefits is Google's ad division.
> Right, but there was no effort to actually oust him either.

Reducing someone's responsibility significantly is well known to often be a mmechanism to oust them without explicitly firing, so I don't know that that is the case.
Back in 1979 I worked at Aph in Pasadena, writing 6502 assembler for single board computers for clients. Aph's secret weapon was a set of macro assemblers written in BLISS on the PDP-11s. The 11s would assemble the code, link it, and then the binary was downloaded into a prom burner. The cross assemblers were written by Dan O'Dowd, later of Greenhills fame.

Having modern macro assemblers, linkers, and editors available made 6502 development fast & easy easy. (A debugger, too!)

Aph could have made a killer entry into the PC market with a 6502 machine, but it apparently never occurred to Aph, as we mistakenly thought a 6502 general purpose computer wasn't a worthy idea.

And so we missed becoming billionaires!
This is an excellent answer and explanation. It’s helpful for people that want a deeper understanding of what’s going on with lithium batteries and where the 80% recommendations come from.

But in terms of general advice that does the most good for the average person, I strongly recommend just doing whatever the manufacturer says. Just use the device and charge it when you want. Live. Some team at Apple, Tesla, Google, whatever, spent 9 figures plus figuring out how to charge the battery so that it meets lifetime guarantees under normal use. There’s too much bad advice out there. Don’t discharge fully every cycle/occasionally (that was NiCd specific, and it was bad advice then). Don’t obsess about turning things off, force quitting apps, putting your car in neutral, or whatever dumb thing your neighbor said.

That being said, the answer here is correct, but keep in mind how that works with the battery management your device already has. Tesla explicitly recommends a lower limit. Do it. Apple phones limit charge cap to 80% until before you wake up. That’s great.
Many racists proclaim people “misunderstand racism” when their different standards for different races are denounced for being racist.

After 160 years of the same political party fighting to rebuild racism, generation after generation, people are done hearing the moralizing excuses for why this time Democrats have the magic formula for virtuous bigotry.
I'd be more worried that all your employees don't want you there, and you'll be in for a lot of cold shoulder meetings every day. Doesn't sound like fun.

The "powerful" people outside, matter a lot less. No matter what you do, if you're influential, about half the powerful will hate you and half will love you.

As best I can tell, advertisers started pausing ads after Musk commented on an anti-semitic tweet, agreeing with it.

The MediaMatters article seemed to follow after.
The panel gap meme is a myth - I've gone through quite a few Tesla's and none of them have had these 'huge' panel gaps that are rumored to exist. Not to mention all of my friends' Tesla cars do not have panel gaps either.
> The motte is "we're just criticising Musk" while the bailey is "we're systematically contacting all of his advertisers and letting them know that if they continue to support him then we will campaign against them as well".

As a free-speech absolutist, I genuinely don’t see any difference between criticizing a person and telling other people (advertisers) that that person did something bad. That’s what criticism is, telling someone you disapprove of something.
It would be nice if others start counter-suing him personally and not his companies. Don’t make the employees suffer for his tactics.

This isn't exactly a new claim, and it's backed up by Tesla's own claimed strategy of vertical integration.

Many of the sensors in a $200,000 Maybach and a $20,000 Civic all come from the same battle tested catalogues from a few companies (like Bosch, Continental, etc.)

Tesla prides themselves on replacing those battle tested components with in-house alternatives with no where near the widespread applications or history to shake out bugs in order to save themselves some money.

I'm not sure why people think the EV part is what makes Tesla's margins when we've commoditized ICEs to the moon and back: it's the making a cheaper car part that does. You don't get to do that for free.
> It appears they have an exclusive, irrevocable license to the existing IP.

Appears from what? I've seen this stated several times, usually citing nothing and occasionally citing a Nadella statement from which it would be a very tenuous inference.
Lotus was a rich company, and could have easily funded 3 full strength independent dev teams. It would not have slowed anything down.
Yea, this is a good take. The letter is truly nothing more than a bluff, and an embarassing one at that. For one, all it promises is that the undersigned 'may' resign. Why wouldn't someone sign it, especially if they fear retaliation? Meanwhile, apparently most of OpenAI cares more about following Sam, even if it leads into the arms of the beast itself, than their original mission of ensuring AI would benefit all of humanity.
It's nice to see Musk donating so much attention to Media Matters, which will fundraise off this and probably earn quite a few new supporters.
It's a real life game of thrones lol, let people have their fun this is hella entertaining to follow

How 'bout their choices are:

1) no money + they get data

2) money + they get no data

You're supposed to do an actual investigation, not just ask one party's opinion and call it a day. C'mon we're talking about his sister making this accusation not some rando gold digger I don't need to justify that some due diligence is in order. Innocent until proven guilty only works when allegations are investigated–otherwise everyone is always "innocent" because you have just chosen not to look.
Seems like a drama shit show played out on gigantic proportion highlighting what has been happening in small scale business ever since the inception of “I will screw u over once I get a chance.”
LLMs predict language, and language is a representation of human concepts about the world. Thus, these models are constructing, piece by piece, conceptual chains about the world.

As they learn to construct better and more coherent conceptual chains, something interesting must be happening internally.
I have no proof of this, but my gut tells me that in a few years we will learn that underground CO2 kills trees and turns the forests into barren waste-lands.
So you read the article, as well as the quote that I put above and therefore you know that this is estimated to be only 1% of the illegal mining done in _Thailand_ alone, and this in just the past couple of years when visibility of cryptocurrency has been well established even in non-tech circles.

It's been happening ever since crypto mining, especially Bitcoin, existed. Long before most anyone knew what mining was, or knew to look for it being done stealrhily on someone elses's dollar ...or baht. I didn't say I condone stealing electricity for any purpose, but there's a particular hypocrisy with crypto people who claim that mining costs chase the hash rate and difficulty adjustments ensure that everyone has a fair shot at winning a coin base. Obvious nonsense.

It's hypocrisy that crypto people, who like to think of themselves as some sort of sophisticated financial visiinary class, are so hopelessly naive that it would never even occur to them to consider that being rationally self interested will inevitably and swiftly devolve into outright theft, and the obfuscated consolidation of power favors the venal corrupt and those who are willing to benefit from wholesale theft, which is why such people are entrenched at the center of this so-called decentralized system.

It's bad enough when rich people use the legal system to try and silence criticism.

I think it's worth spelling out the difference.

The difference is that, for that mid level role, there are dozens of candidates who could fill it, who all look like good candidates on paper. It takes that long to sort through them all to find the person they like the most.

But imagine for a moment that they write a job description, and they can only expect a few people to meet the requirements ever, and you're one of them. Also the job should've been filled yesterday.

It's not going to take months to fill it. It'll take a week or less.

This was that situation. But normally, those executive searches take months.

You know who's a key player in this story, probably the most successful businessperson involved, who only got the CEO job after 5-6 months? Satya Nadella.

And he would probably agree with you that this was a terrible way to hire a CEO that reflects poorly on the company.

I think Ilya was naive and didn't see this coming and good that he reliased quickly announced on twitter and made the right call to get Sam back.

Otherwise it was like Ilya vs Sam showdown,and people were siding towards Ilya for agi and all. But this behind the scene looks like corporate power struggle and coup.

Let’s Go Brandon became a meme because a news anchor censored the crowd obviously chanting “fuck Joe Biden!” on air.

People were mocking actual censorship in the media, by repeating the phrase — often accompanied by “fuck Joe Biden”, as in the numerous tracks about the meme. Which were also censored at first (eg, on iTunes).

How you got from that to “self-censorship to prove a non-existent point” is mystifying.

The only black person I've ever seen get 'fired' in my work life, actually got paid $20k to leave after threatening to kill two coworkers. When corporate security came down to interview everyone, he started saying he was driven to these extreme feelings because he was passed up for promotions because he was black. In all honesty, he was well below average at his job and was lucky to even remain working let alone get a promotion. But still, he got $20k to leave.

Resurfaced 2003 Banksy BBC interview [audio]
To explain, the TÜV in germany checks every two years all cars for safety relevant issues and without to pass this check you can't use your car until the issues are fixed. So, this report is about every second Tesla 3 that drives on german roads. Not just one batch, not only some hundred ones, not some special ones, EVERY SECOND MODEL 3 that is rolling on the roads in Germany.

I hear only but good reports from people that are iphone fans. Thats normal, no one want to admit himself that he have done not a good deal.
The largest rocket ever built got to space for the first time, powered by 33 full-flow staged combustion engines, considered to be the holy grail of engine design. First successful use of 33 engines firing in unison. First full-flow engine to make it to space. First methane engine to make it to space.

I’ve followed starship development for a while now. A year ago starship was doomed to fail because 33 engines firing at once would tear the rocket apart. Now it’s a failure because they screwed up the landing. I know this sounds crazy, but I think the rocket company known for landing rockets might be able to fix the rocket landing issue.
What does YC have to do with OpenAI?
I think a lot of the scepticism is a counterpoint to the unbridled starry eyed optimism. Building this thing is hard and will remain hard. Having achieved 80% is only a weak indicator that they will achieve the remaining 20%.

And yet every news for the past 5 years or whatever has been "wow it's a runaway success and basically done". Something flies? Great! Something blows up? Ooh actually that's even better because [convoluted argument] and Starship will fly in 6 weeks time.

I wish them well. The crazy optimism still strikes me as a bit mad.
