Spoken like someone who doesn't live in a resource desert. My whole ass county didn't have a hospital until around 5 years ago. Depending on where you lived you had somewhere between a 20 and 60 drive to the hospital and it was just pure luck that we had other hospitals so close. We're only semi-rural. Other rural areas aren't so luck. I've lived in urban areas where it wws legitimately faster have someone take you to the hospital than try to get an ambulance to take you.

Helicopters are also prohibitively expensive and often not even covered by insurance. People faint over a 1K ambulance ride, but you could be looking at 30K or more for a helicopter ride. Which is really more the point. Some people are poor. At least the hospital will work with you. I remember when I was poor and couldn't afford an ambulance ride but needed it, it was the only thing that couldn't be negotiated down and it was a huge financial burden on a collegr student. All I took away from that experience was that next time I was on the ground bleeding from a head wound, I should call a friend. Which I did later in an emergency that ended with me passed out in my car in a parking lot. My friend took me.

As long as you can be severely financially hurt by taking ambulance people are gonna avoid them if you're not actively dying. And if you take away people's ability to drive people, they'll just not go. This is already happening with normal doctors and is one of the reasons hospitals are overburdened.

Yes, a policy many in the Tory party like, because on net those immigrants are economically beneficial. But they can’t tell that to their base so they bang on about a small subset.
There's practically no middle class. You're probably very privileged and confusing your own comfortable privilege with the lives of actual workers.

Mate, people emigrate from Argentina to the rest of LATAM, not viceversa (unless you earn in USD).

The fact that you're pretending people live better here and you're just trying to make it about class shows how little perspective you have. Speaking for "the People" right?
> assuming the data is analysed inside the car itself?

The law appears to be worded with no such stipulation. Which means it's up to the manufacturer how and where they process the data. The odds of the data being processed locally to the car are long.

Which does give rise to some questions:

if the car can't get a data connection, and therefore can't get the data analysed, will it assume the driver is incapacitated and refuse to start? If not, circumvention is simple.

If the manufacturer's servers have an issue, will the car refuse to start?

Will the data be the property of the driver, not the manufacturer? (hahaha, I'm kidding, of course the data will belong to the manufacturer, ready to be sold to anyone who wants it)

edit: clarified first question
Good luck with this. My 2013 car has a sensor that tries to detect if you're swerving too hard, tuning down the engine if it thinks you've lost control. It engages way, way too often - e.g. a bumpy road on cold tires will easily trigger it.

The faith that non-IT people have in "smart" automation always doing the right thing, is really remarkable.
> Enthusiastic users aren't the people you should design for

They are the people you design for at the beginning to get traction, and once you got the mainstream on board because of their evangelicalism, you switch targets.

Aka, the enthusiastic people get used first and then dumped.
Oh that makes a lot of sense. That actually makes a nice image for the train-wreck of cascading particle collisions that happens. Air is dense enough its impossible to move that fast thru it. But the particle hits the air moving that fast. Result: fireworks that can be detected.
Yep! What the business really needs is something that will do whatever necessary to ensure stuff actually lands. The skills are important for sure, but the responsibility aspect can’t be offloaded to machines well.

And even a lot of our boilerplate removal mechanisms (eg frameworks) are not very good either. They’re just slightly less worse than before.
Did you see the OS Support section in the README [0]?

Your mistake is going from quantitative claims to categorical without evaluating the quantitative part first.

You say "everything is a band aid to some degree", and from that you conclude that "everything is equally bad or good". You conveniently forget the "to some degree" part to further your point.

It's similar to saying that all food has some amount of dust in it, so it shouldn't matter whether you just open the vacuum cleaner and eat the stuff collected on the drum, or if you order a meal at a fancy restaurant.

There's no evidence that Python "fits into reality" more than any other language. The thing that's going on for it is popularity. Popularity doesn't need to be rooted in technical merits, and in the case of Python it isn't. Finally, Python isn't unique in this sense. Even though the stage for programming language popularity pageant was set relatively recently, the participants learned to abuse the rules of the competition very quickly. There's a "rule" by a statistician whose name I cannot recall at this point which states that once people know the metric they are measured on, they will learn to game it. When we assess language popularity, we most assess how well the language authors or their community was able to game the metric rather than measuring any meaningful aspect of those languages.
They shouldn't.

While it may not be strictly correct semantically, I'd expect most people to understand "Go expert" as "expert Go programmer", not as some sort of Go historian.
Exactly. Humans didn't learn their way out of only having half a brain, more the opposite.
It amazes me that the "labour shortage" argument is still in play. You'd think after years of importing tens of millions of people someone might have asked, "have we fixed the labour shortage yet?".
>Politicians promised that Brexit would allow us to take control of our borders

You mean the EU was in control of your borders before?

I think you don't know how the EU works and what it can and can't do with your borders.
Pretty much everyone who has driven mine (Kia EV6) or my wife's (VW ID.4) says they are pleasantly surprised when driving. Personal computers, laptops, cell phones, smartphones, etc all have gone through the cycle of being expensive for early adopters but mainstream in due time, and I suspect EVs will have a similar lifecycle.
This is awful. Text is not selectable and the back button is broken. Nice work coming from a multi-billion $ company.

Thank you for this. I can completely relate. Something about sadness making you feel alive. And being stuck for years not grieving, not knowing how, or even knowing that's what you need to do.

The challenge of being stuck like that is that you can't really communicate that or share it in a meaningful way with other people.

I wonder sometimes if it's a self imposed purgatory.

Government overreach and the surveillance state don't end willingly. Amassing power is a dangerous thing, those in charge will keep doing it as long as they can get away with it.

I think the real question is how long can this go on before the people have no way to stop it if they wanted to.
> I bet if you add up that data it's a lot.

Let's Fermi estimate that.

A 4k video stream is about 50 megabits/second. Let's say that humans have the equivalent of two of those going during waking hours, one for vision and one for everything else. Humans are awake for 18 hours/day, and we'll say a human's training is 'complete' at 25.

Multiply that together, and you end up with 1.8e17 bytes, or 180 petabytes of data.

There's plenty of reason to think that we don't learn effectively from all of this data (there's lots of redundancy, for example), but at the grossest orders of magnitude you seem to be right that at least in theory we have access to a tremendous amount of data.
Like your power? Your water?

Let's all take it down a notch. Trying to save lives is a good goal. Compared to those other things? An order of magnitude more human and sensible.

It's good to be cautious. So put some rules in place, sure. But to castigate the effort is not helpful or moving the conversation forward.

Snap is yet another Canonical NIH copy of others' solutions. There's already Flatpak as well as AppImage or just-ship-your-damned-dependencies before that. Lack of binary compatibily of random libs shipped by the distros is not a real problem in practice - base libraries (libc, opengl/vulkan, libasound/pulse) etc all have backwards compatible interfaces and the rest you can and should just include with your binaries. This has been known as far back as Loki back at the start of the millenium but somehow there are still people spreading FUD.
What makes you so sure the data in your study is truly representative of gen z?

A few months ago a study was posted on HN which claimed 30% of gen z supported police cameras being installed inside homes to protect against domestic violence.

Meanwhile, in Dunedin, the number of cameras on the street was reduced in consultation with university students (aka gen z).

How can both of these statements be true? The answer is, they aren’t- the study posted on HN was fearmongering, manipulated data, trying to discredit the younger generation, to get older people to vote a specific way.

I’m a millennial but I’m sick of this rhetoric that gen z are stupid / oblivious / complicit etc. They aren’t.
>No, 'they' voted for Brexit so the UK's borders and immigration policies could be controlled by politicians accountable to the people of the UK

You can't possibly tell me with a straight face that the EU was in any way controlling your borders before.

The EU has no power over border control enforcement.

The people behind LLMs believe in it so thoroughly that they are pushing it to do things that aren’t safe. So it can easily be true that it’s both overhyped and needs better regulation. The fact that LLMs can’t actually solve the problems they are being used for is, in fact, a problem that may require government intervention.
This is one of those lists where it's ruined by the author's compulsion to make it impressively long. As a result it's filled with things that you're obviously allowed to do ("Ask questions online", "say I don't know", "give to charity", "quit your job") which make it more difficult to find the small number of good ones ("Hire a researcher").

It means that overall the list is quite pointless and low quality.

Hi HN, I share a heavily downvoted LessWrong post with a long conversation I had yesterday with Google Bard, because it seemed like they did things I didnt know they could do. How do we know if they are already AGI/ASI and we’re not asking them to act like it? Anyway, I feel worn out from reading and thinking too much, anyone else feeling that when working with AI LLMs? The volume of material they can generate is way more than I’m accustomed to.

> Also, if a single entity gets too far ahead, it may be constrained politically or even militarily.

The problem is, the time between when you notice and when it's too late to act, might be days, or hours, or seconds, or even negative.

> Let's say for instance that OpenAI created an AI able to suddenly design GPU's that outperform Nvidia'. That would be a sign of a quite hard takeoff, as it would quickly lead to MS/OpenAI gaining full control of both software and hardware markets.

That's solving the wrong problem. If OpenAI creates an AI able to design GPUs better than Nvidia and is general enough, the risk is that it'll arrange for more compute for itself and train an even more capable version of itself. And you might not notice until couple iterations of this happen.

> This would be huge incentive for the US government to either nationalize this AI, make it's IP open source or use some kind of anti-trust measures to slow them down.

When that happens, the US government better be sending men with guns to forcefully shut the businesses involved down, and getting ready to lob some cruise missiles at some data centers for good measure.
About 10 years ago a few friends of mine (mechanical engineers) were surprised that I was studying software development. They said something along the lines of “is there much left to do? we can just use existing systems to do everything we need right?”

The misconception is that building systems to tackle new problems are easy and thus have been “commodified” meaning nobody needs to write code anymore.

The reality is that building software is rarely as easy as configuring a UI. You end up needing text which represents logical rules and flows, you need version control see how the system changes, rollbacks… which means you need programmers

Coding doesn’t disappear, it just moves up the levels of abstractions
Interesting how some argue that a book is nothing special and here we have "an intimate bond".

How is taking notes less interactive than writing on the book itself? Both happen at the same time.
Now it's getting a bit overengineered. Both of those are already committing violent crimes and aren't gonna be squeamish about physically preventing you from entering a non alcohol-locked vehicle.
Former State here. In a hurry so I only browsed a few of the declassified cables.
My first blush take is that the "AI" is sorting and examining cables classified at or below the "Confidential" level limiting the danger of exposure - most "confidential" documents present very limited exposure danger.

Additionally, by State regs, all cables older than 25 years are already considered declassified automatically, and the examples presented (the random ones I saw) all fall under that category. By extension, I'm assuming that the AI is only targeting this lower classification, scanning and applying certain rules, with a resultant output that may be reviewed by a human with much less rigor making their job a bit easier.

I'm quite confident that under no circumstances is any cable at the "Secret" level, even if 25 years old, released without very rigorous examination. This would require NSA agreement, which in context, would be quite the hill to climb.

So to a degree, the press release is a bit self-serving ("we're keeping up with the times") and I'm not entirely sure that the process is much beyond keyword searching of lower classified cables that themselves already presented very limited exposure danger.
Anything that uses SciPy, so software defined radio too via GNU Radio.
I totally agree that these things should be available and financially viable. Getting that in order should be the political conflict in one of the richest countries on earth. Allowing dangerous people on the road to avoid fixing emergency care is a terrible workaround :/
No, not really. It is perfectly possible to write unintentionally valid code, which would be caught by linter due to the author not following some convention.

Trivial and popular example of such code is assignment instead of comparison in the context of condition. Some languages allow for this to happen, but it's known as a possible mistake and so the conventions in such languages would discourage the use of assignment in the context of condition, even though it technically produces valid code.
I agree - I have used the gimp since 1998 and when using other apps (e.g. Affinity) I often return to Gimp and Inkscape because I understand their UIs best.
In most cases, I write as a library. It makes life sooooooo much easier and can be tested at different levels with unit tests.

I will always remember a relatively large GUI application... one big EXE project. All content was hard coded inside Windows/Forms, Button Click methods, etc.

I started to break the GUI app down into smaller components. OK.. It has (A), (B), (C), (D), etc. Started to build isolated libraries. I could then test it without having to run the GUI app and get to the respected Window, etc.

It made life sooooooooo much easier.

Now, it was a bunch of libraries which the GUI apps includes and wraps with presentation. The great thing is that we need to upgrade our tools, opening the door to using a more modern GUI -- as everything is in their own library.. this becomes so much easier to do.

This was a C# application using WinForms using .NET framework (v4 something). We upgraded to .NET Core. Once the libraries had upgraded, we decided to use WPF. It was a relatively pleasant experience. Now imagine trying to upgrade .NET version + WinForms to WPF as it currently stood -- all scattered inside the GUI app.

My default is to create as library first.

> Is it a nanny-state that there are speed limits?

No, speed limits are fine. Its enforcing them with technological tools that are not under control of the citizen that is not fine.

Also, at least in my country, the code says that I am allowed to break the speed limit if there is a good enough reason (e.g. I am trying to escape from somebody that wants to kill me, I am bringing somebody urgently to the hospital because he may otherwise die).

For example one of my friends was born during the Oil Crisis of the 70s, and at the time car circulation was limited (odd plates one day, even plates the other). Both the parents had the "wrong" plate that day, but they decided to use the car anyway because it was an emergency. They got stopped by the police, and once understanding the issue, the police escorted them to the hospital with siren and lights.

How do you do that with externally imposed limit ? You don't (sorry your kid didn't make it, but that's the law) ? You prescribe a button that says "I'm in emergency" ? (no-one drunk enough will ever use it, I am sure, and neither will criminals using a stolen car).

Also in general there is the issue that in a healthy society most people will respect the law, and only a few break it. Putting restrictions on otherwise law-abiding citizens tells them the state doesn't trust them, and in the long term citizens will answer in kind.

edit: I will add that even if it were against the law, in some cases breaking the law and paying the consequences (paying fine, losing license) may still be worth it if it is an actual emergency.
