I don't believe that some proprietary "lockdown mode" has been implemented to help Apple's useds against all kinds of powerful perperators such as US government. It is just not possible for the world I am living in.
NVIDIA is the leader because most academic AI setups are NVIDIA based.

When AI moves further away from academia NVIDIA will have less of a grip.

Proprietary, hardware specific APIs never stand the test of time. Ask 3Dfx.

Either CUDA will open up, if it is to survive or open API use will spread.

Weirdly, NVIDIA hardware only outperforms competitors on its own API. When you compare NVIDIA on a level playing field, they aren't the clear winners. Nobody is right now.

I suspect the battle ground for AI will be accuracy rather than speed in the medium term and on paper AMD could win there...purely because they aren't shy about over speccing the RAM in their kit and certain price points.

For me, I want to run the largest models I can with the least amount of quantization for the best bang for the buck...and AMD is right there as soon as people start picking up APIs outside of CUDA.
No it’s not. These ticks are not going to drain herds of cows.

Tick-borne disease is the primary risk. It only takes one bite to get a pretty severe disease. If these don’t carry the tick-borne diseases, they’re a nuisance but not a huge risk.
The branding is probably also due to AWS having FreeRTOS https://aws.amazon.com/freertos/
I think the geothermal people would have built more by now if they weren't blocked by CEQA/NEPA etc. It took them decades to build generators near Mammoth Lakes, just to grind through all the lawsuits.
Getting downvoted because nobody took the time to read your post, I assume. RPi foundation could probably have their own SoC made at this point, and (finally) having fully open firmware would be a huge selling point and maybe help stave off the clones. So why don't they do that?
I think we mean different things, it is enabled by default but I'm saying thats not the default IMDS version that metadata endpoint points to for `/latest/`

for example if you run below curl request on ec2 instances launched from aws console before nov 6th then you will get a response

```sh

curl http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/profile

```

but if you run the same command on ec2 instances launched from aws console after nov 6th, then you will get an error that auth token is missing
right, but if you have a valid and current version of the player that decodes, say something like an app on an AppleTV 4K that pushes the video signal via HDMI, and inline box to bypass HDCP would not be affected by any key revocation what so ever. So again, how does this inline box get affected at all by any key revocation? After all, that's the subject of the TFA which we seem to have strayed a bit too far from the conversation with your hypothetical
I don't know what you call "prose", but something that needs to be split into paragraphs is called prose in my book. Maybe you've been misusing the <p> tag? Can you describe a situation where you've used the <p> tag that wasn't "prose"?
And yet the comparison is apt. Both provide ephemeral positive signals to the brain at a cost that is detrimental to individuals' or society's health (not even talking about environment, which is a part of society's health).
> Using someone else's abstractions for your entire workflow is a nice way of making a hackathon project

We use someone else's abstractions all the time, when they are good :) Think of reactjs, expressjs, django, etc.

> Abstracting away the flows (agency/langchain) is the wrong layer of abstraction

But you do abstract away SQL when you write business logic isn't it? Many people uses ORMs for that, which gives ability to easily switch databases and write tests. Why do you think this isn't the same?

> langchain had hardcoded prompts, which make it difficult to experiment and iterate

Agency does not and won't have anything like that except it's going to make a LOT of sense. Even then there 100% will be to control that stuff.

> Where is the complexity hidden?

The biggest complexity was to design the library to be small, simple and extensible. It's not a lot of abstractions out there.

But the better answer to your question is probably something like - "complexity is hidden behind how providers implement core interfaces"
> The family members can be excused as ignorant folks who, unlike doctors, don't get to witness firsthand how much suffering can be relieved by harvesting an already-basically-dead person.

And honestly, a bit of ignorance is to be expected here. Most people have never been in the room with a brain-dead person on life support; it's a brand-new scenario to almost anyone.

The docs will have seen and heard stuff like "She is without a doubt responding to my touch..." and "Brain dead patients cannot respond to touch, and she clearly is… right?" from people. They know the reasons - confirmation bias on random movements, body reflexes, etc. - but explaining that to someone in the midst of the worst grief of their lives is... tough.
Sure, but that can already happen. It simply doesn’t.

In the long run, none of that matters.
we honestly just don't know. We believe genetically modified crops are as safe and our current understanding of food science suggests that is likely true. There are huge swaths of people who are changing up the food they eat and reflecting on how they feel that is not captured in any way that is accepted by modern food science. Not even calories in / out is well understood because your body changes how it takes in, processes, and uses the calories it gets. It is a dynamic system. I have personally weighed and measured my food for extended periods and I lost weight eating more calories while maintaining the same exercise routine. In "That Sugar Film," the filmmaker keeps the calories the same but changes the source to more sugar and they got a fatty liver and extra belly fat. If you watch "my 600lb life", some people gain weight because they reduce their calorie intake too much and their body goes into a "starvation mode" and starts capturing calories as additional fat.

The type of food you put in matters and we don't have a good grasp on all the ways our bodies handle it. What we do know is that we are eating things now that historically we have not and that alone is a good reason to be suspect of it.

Well it is established that she was already dead by the time donation is being discussed. You can't murder a dead person.

If they did not get the necessary consent for organ transplants, it is a crime and the ones involved should be punished for that, but obviously not for murder. No one, not even the father is suing them for murder.

If a "super intelligent AI" is something in the vicinity of an LLM, which does nothing but respond to prompts, then humans provides a necessary element. Without a prompt, it'll just sit there doing nothing forever.
I get this sentiment, and can even echo it a bit, but I don't believe this is a positive direction for trucks to be taking.

It's still too large, not functional enough as a truck, and focuses more on status an a "look" than usability. Can you imagine pulling into a quarry and getting a yard of rock in the bed? It would be a disaster. Or, how about getting a load of bricks or lumber from a big-box hardware store? They already have to put up signs with disclaimers that the truck bed might be damaged on loading... And forget about taking a load of trash to the dump.

I think my biggest fear would be that stainless steel is not uniformly protected. There's a thin layer of chromium oxide that forms on the surface which provides the protection. If you scratch through or damage that layer, you expose normal iron which can start to rust. It should mostly be cosmetic, but damaged stainless steel can still corrode.

And yes, I have a highly utilitarian view of what kinds of pickup trucks we really need on the roads.

So you posit that it is impossible to make crumple zones with steel? That we cannot design a steel part that has crumple features? (or in Tesla's case, a single cast rather than numerous parts bolted or welded together)
We need something in between. The paper author may not know why something is happening but has showed that it is statistically significant. Maybe he just does not have the context or background but someone else along the way. Of course the assumption is that people would do replication studies but no one is incentivized to do them so better to be on the safer side

If you dig deep enough, you'll see that "open-source" is actually the preferred term for HN because it is business-friendly: I can use this open-source, depolitized piece of code to make money and not give any to anyone. It's why the term "open source" exists when "Libre" also defines it, but as an anti-business sound to it.
It is an emotional response to the fear of being "left behind".

And for some folks, there are pseudo-religious elements. There's been a long line of thought (search Extropians) obsessed with a sort of godhead-merger, or becoming godlike, and related immortality dreams. And just from a symbology perspective, there are a lot of religious overtones. The similarities between Vinge's singularity and biblical rapture are hard to miss, for instance. And just listen to some of the "AI" cheerleaders right now...

I concur.

I'm not going to lie; I'm quite happy that I'm just a random nobody discussing this on a forum instead of actually having to make the heavy decisions. In the end, the technology is already out there and stopping it will be nearly impossible, so we will see where it goes.
I'm sure tasting still happens on dropped domains, though; registrars have data on search interest and can find dropped domains that are likely to be profitable even taking transaction fees into account.

Rent control means base rent is set when the tenant moves in, not when the building is built. Its therefore reset with new tenants. It also doesn’t lock you into this rate, but simply to a rate better pegged to wage growth. E.g. outside covid extreme measures rent control could mean rent can be raised 4-5% a year sometimes. Rent control really just prevents huge price gouging more than anything.
Better customer alignment.

To be fair, Brave seems to have genuinely tried, but, seems to be failing to reach sustainablility judging by their various pivots. They've tried to walk the line of leaning toward the user while middlemanning revenue ideas to said user. BAT and crypto, VPN, messaging sales, now search+ads. The market seems to be saying no thanks from what I can see from the outside.

Orion, in straight up exchange for cash via donation and Kagi subsidization, offers to be entirely the user's agent.
But what about navigating on the other end? It would make a terrible first impression if our probe smashed into their version of Voyager.

> the strong WWI and WWII lessons

Those are that an economically smaller power that achieves surprise and has a well honed military may do a lot of damage before finally defeated.

The fact that Russia still has a lot of nukes _could_ tempt them to take the Baltic countries and some more border territories and demand a cease fire along the new border.

I've not been one of those who used to think that there was any realistic chance of this, though, at least until a full incorporation of Belarus and Ukraine into the Russian Empire.

Unless something like brain cancer made Putin completely crazy, that is.
Because even the most careful C++ programmer still makes plenty of mistakes. Not the, "oops I cut my finger," kind. Those are usually found by linters and analyzers. More like, "there's a PCI breach and now we're liable for millions of dollars," kind: the semantics of C++ are hard to nail down and ensuring that private data doesn't leak to other threads is almost impossible to get right with only knowing C++ and being careful.

You generally need to use higher-level tools for that kind of work: Coq + the Iris framework, for example, in order to prove that your system can freely share memory and not leak secrets so long as X, Y, and Z hold, etc.

Or you need to run a ton of tools like Jepsen to find if your system behaves the way you think it does.

What baking more of the specification language into the programming language does (ie: better type systems) is enable us to have more of these guarantees earlier in the development process when changes are cheaper and faster to make (at the expense of requiring more expertise to use them).

> The GDP gap between Europe and the United States is now 80%

Lots to worry about in Europe.

Since dang is rate limiting me, I'm going to add my response to this comment:

Cutting edge treatments for cancer usually arrive in the US first. Also, I believe the US had access to mRNA vaccines for Covid before Europe.

Also, the US has more access to mental health treatments. Is ketamine for TRD available anywhere in the EU? If so, it’s a minority.

A lot of drugs used in the US for ADHD and depression aren’t available in Europe.
It’s very hard and expensive to get out of our gravity well though. And almost everything you see in the night sky is an unfathomable distance away.

The idea that we're at some fundamental limit where we can't keep building technology without destroying the environment seems wrong. Besides solar power, there's plenty of room for alternate, environmentally friendly technologies to address the problems you mention.

I can't help but think the actual motivation behind your attitude is not environmentalism but a pessimism about technology that amounts to an extreme form of conservatism. At worst it's a kind of misanthropy.

Technology isn't always good but we should keep building it. I'm not sure how much pressure we should be applying to the brake. Definitely some, but not as much as you're advocating.

> Could slightly increased sun exposure on one's left arm and result in increased cancers elsewhere on one's left side?

I'm no doctor, but I wondered if metastasis via the lymphatic system might be a possible explanation. From my utterly cursory search, I get the impression that the lymphatic network is a common route of metastasis, but while it might spread melanoma from the arm to the trunk (and perhaps preferentially to the same side), it seems to go the wrong way to be the vector from there to the hips and thighs. There's also the question of whether a melanoma that has spread to the lymph nodes is still counted as an instance of melanoma, and the most I can say about that is that one paper I skimmed seemed to be using the term in that manner.

You need quite a lot of delta-v to get to Oort cloud and then decelerate, within reasonable amount of time.

Once you are there, you need relatively little delta-v to move around, mostly limited by how fast you want to reach your new destination.

As to automated refueling... Oort cloud is absolutely enormous. And we are not just talking sending something to one or any point in there, we are talking about traveling all over the place because to image a planet you need to position yourself at exactly right point on the opposite side of the sun and at the right distance from it. I don't think refuiling works. I think what would be much simpler is to locate candidates for imaging and then send disposable drones with the only job being reaching the destination as quickly as possible with all the fuel they have (accelerate/decelerate as hard as possible with some kind of ion engine).
I don't think others were not willing to hire female designers; some Infocom games from that time also had female authors. I think it's more to do with the time they started. Somewhere during the 80s the 'white male nerd' stereotype became a self-reinforcing thing which scared a lot of women away from everything computer-related.
Also, I don't consider Sierra games 'the best designed'. Some of their games have lots of 'personality' and they were first with many innovations, but it's clear everyone was still figuring out how to design games at the time.
What's even more problematic is that new North American homes are often constructed with a washer/dryer "conveniently" placed near a bedroom, typically on the upper level, and yet, they are still installed without a drain.
The mechanical properties of steel are the reason why it's harder to make effective crumple zones. So yes, the material does matter a lot.

Note that Fervo Energy (the geothermal start-up that Google partnered with) is founded by an ex oil/gas drilling engineer who decided to take all the lessons learned by oil/gas of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing over the last 20 years and apply to geothermal.

Turns out all the assumptions for the economics of geothermal were based on 20+ year old data. With the advances applied from oil/gas, geothermal is squarely back in the economic region of renewables.

It took them 72 days to drill their injection well to 11220 ft. 59 days to drill their production well to same depth. So from their 1st well to their 2nd, they've already improved 18%. Oil/gas drillers can do 11220 ft wells within a couple days.

Sure 3.5 MW isn't a ton but this was literally a proof of concept. They can expand by orders of magnitude by drilling hundreds of these injector/producer doublets. They could probably get 2-3x more power per well after optimization. They can easily control production by altering the injection rate. I forget the exact delay but basically, if they ramp up/down injection, they see the same exact response on the production side a couple hours later. They expect to be able to combine this with solar/wind to get a firm 24 hour renewable base load.

16 page Fervo white paper with tons of data (pressure, temperatures, geologic setting, frac plans, etc) - https://eartharxiv.org/repository/object/5704/download/11142...

Note that they do monitor induced sesmicity and have green/yellow/red light system for when to stop if necessary. Again, this was for the proof of concept with the Department of Energy.

Edit: with the exception of the high temps (376F max recorded), the drilling is all very standard oil/gas style that happens all the time across the US. 376F isn't unheard of in deepwater offshore but it's damn hot.
