Amoral literally means "lacking a moral sense; unconcerned with the rightness or wrongness of something." Generally this is considered a problem if you are designing something that might influence the way people act.

That's pathetic. I cannot respect someone and will not work under someone who functions that way. A personality cultist.
GDP (PPP adjusted) does, and that's what the comparison between China vs USA on the parent comment stems from.

China's GDP (PPP adjusted) is ~USD 33 trillion.

USA's GDP (PPP adjusted) is ~USD 27 trillion.

Those are economies' size measures.
Nonsense. Ukraine already had an agreement with Russia that turned out to be worth less than the paper it was written on.

No newspaper obituary will say it like this, so I feel obliged to say it.

One of the world's most notorious war criminals, a man with millions of people's blood on his hands, a man directly responsible for the rise of anti-liberal regimes across the world from Russia to Iran, died today.

He brought misery to the world and set the course of human progress back by decades.

People only think of the likes of Stalin or Pol Pot when they think of "evil". But the name Henry Kissinger belongs right up there.
Well, as one particular American, who has spoken to many, many other Americans in their life, I can only tell you what I think.

Something I find interesting is that Americans say the a in the word taco (a word borrowed from Spanish) with the a as in father, that is, [ɑː], but English people say the a as in cat, [æ]. Different dialects approximate the Spanish [a] differently.
Yes, but mini cars only cover the lower and cheapest segment of the market, that is the UKL platform that BMW only uses for the X1, X2, 1 series and 2 series GC.

So probably the highest complexity of the more premium platforms and features is bringing the reliability down for BMW, unsurprisingly (a v8 engine probably would fail earlier than a simple 3-cylinder engine)
The sound - more than the game itself - tickles my nostalgia bone in a big way.
> The mechanical components haven’t changed much.

But the control/configuration of mechanical components is now being done from touch panel and if it becomes unresponsive then it’s as good as mechanical component breakdown.
In the interview he states that Tesla has open sourced “all” their patents, and that SpaceX doesn’t register patents except occasionally to stop patent trolls.
I think this is misleading.

I ran the same test when I heard about it a few months ago.

When I tested it, I'd get back what looked like exact copies of Reddit threads, news articles, weird forum threads with usernames from the deepest corners of the internet.

But I'd try to Google snippets of text, and no part of the generated text was anywhere to be found.

I even went to the websites that forum threads were supposedly from. Some of the usernames sometimes existed, but nothing that matched the exact text from ChatGPT - even though the broken GPT response looked like a 100% believable forum thread, or article, or whatever.

If ChatGPT could give me an exact copy of a Reddit thread, I'd say it's regurgitating training data.

But none of the author's "verified examples" look like that. Their first example is a financial disclaimer. That may be a 1-1 copy, but how many times does it appear across the internet? More examples from the paper are things like lists of countries, bible verses, generic terms and conditions. Those are things I'd expect to appear thousands of times on the internet.

I'd also expect a list of country names to appear thousands of times in ChatGPT training data, and I'd sure expect ChatGPT to be able to reproduce a list of country names in the exact same order.

Does that mean it's regurgitating training data? Does that mean you've figured out how to "extract training data" from it? It's an interesting phenomenon, but I don't think that's accurate. I think it's just a bug that messes up its internal state so it starts hallucinating.

It's honestly refreshing to see this information about Ukraine posted with minimal partisanship.

The West has, with every decision, made the choice that put Ukrainian lives and sovereignty at risk starting from practically the day the wall fell.
Scripting languages and a REPL give exactly the same experience, if not better, without pretending to be stuck in emulating a 1970's text terminal.

Another thing that looks like books is paper, maybe for the ultimate experience we could write programs on paper and have the computer scan them somehow.
But then that doesn't square with board refuses to tell employees or Microsoft or the public that altman committed malfeasance or provide examples. That would be pretty cut and dry and msft wouldn't be willing to acquihire the entire company we with altman as CEO if there was a valid reason like that.
> Ukraine. It could very well have maintained neutrality and avoided the invasion.

This seems naive. Ukraine was already invaded in 2014. I guess you are not from Eastern Europe when you deny these nation sovereignty.
Thank you for clarifying that. I was confused. All hail Musk.
This era (and even older) mercedes are all over the place in southern california. They look mostly in mint shape with the lack of rust from no road salting and quality paintjobs that have lasted 40 years or more compared to modern cars that seem to peel after 10 years.
After your 3/5-year warranty at BMW you can maintain your BMW at your local workshop, and the costs are similar to other cars. They are not expensive cars to maintain, specially the latest models (F-series, G-series).

There is absolutely no fun to be found anywhere in AWS.
That's nonsense and Russia has repeatedly stated it won't do X (if Ukraine does Y), then did it regardless. Appeasement has always been a shit strategy.

Most prominently Russia claimed it won't invade Ukraine if Ukraine doesn't join NATO - Ukraine's NATO bid occured after Russia's full-scale invasion happened anyways.

Similar story with the nuclear disarmament of Ukraine.

One has to be especially gullible to trust Russia at this point.
Least evil by what metric?
The crime was Trump's deficit-fueling tax cuts during boom times. If he had stayed on Obama's track we would have had decent surplusses leaving us more prepared for the covid recession. Most economic theories say to counterbalance recessions by cutting back during boom times and spending more during down times. Biden is bringing us back faster post-pandemic than Obama post '08 financial crisis. Which indicates that the pandemic spending was appropriate, even if it fueled temporary inflation we're now growing way faster than most other economies.

> Cell phones were a huge mistake

This kind of exaggeration undermines any point. An invention as useful as the cell phone was a mistake because people (ab)use it while driving? Any invention is used and abused but the benefits of this invention far outweigh the drawbacks. I'm sure more lives were saved by the mobile phone, and even more were made better, than were taken.
They're creating lasting value for themselves. Or don't you think they should be allowed to?
All they had to do was say why they fired him. A toddler could whip up the same amount of backlash against a board that bungled their communications so badly. The reason everyone settled on that take was that the take was pur forward that it was a coup, and then the board went nuh uh and that was it and like - what?
DeepMind GNoME tool discovers 380K new stable crystal structures out of 2.2M+
I dunno about this thought, are there other AI startups operating at this level and that have the amount of market share and headspace that OpenAI has? I see comments like this on hacker news a lot, and I get that yes, the man is human and fallible, but they are doing something that’s working well for their space. If there’s some compelling reason to doubt Altman’s leadership or character I haven’t heard it yet.
You have to do that realibly, millions of times without failure, safely and without loosing redundancy. Flipping a relay is easy, doing in flight with one of most safety critical systems not so much.

Man, I just hope all those aerospace companies YC is funding have founders with a much better understanding of these things...
The impact to free speech will be insurmountable!
You're not taking into account the type of usage that BMW have to Toyotas. Toyotas are usually driven by non-car-enthusiasts, and people that do care about reliability.

BMWs on the other hand are enthusiast cars, driven quicker, modified more, raced in tracks, etc. Obviously the reliability is going to suffer. I'm pretty sure that under normal usage, they will endure as much if not more than a Toyota.
How about this one then, my grandmother is named Lillemor which is Swedish for "little mother". It was a fairly common name even. People out there naming their kids "little mother".
A bit more verbose but you have the full power of XQuery with you. XSLT however is more verbose than that like you mentioned.

for $price in json-to-xml(unparsed-text($file))/map/map/number[@key="price"]
return $price+2

For the following JSON document:

{
"fruit1": {
"name": "apple",
"color": "green",
"price": 1.2
},
"fruit2": {
"name": "pear",
"color": "green",
"price": 1.6
}
}

The call to json-to-xml() produces this XML document:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

It depends on how willing he is to acquire leadership teams and/or reputation massaging teams to work on his image for him. High self esteem can however lead to thinking such things are unnecessary which can have very poor outcomes.
Yeah that. Particularly when it came to test equipment which was pretty much down to building it yourself (or being rich). I saw a lot of things that looked like plumbing in the 80s rather than electronics. Not until the 90s did I understand this stuff and it was actually pretty amazing what people were building with no gear and no tools. One of the finest things I saw was a Lecher line or movable short. And some weird stuff on 10GHz that used micrometers for tuning!
"[C]alling this reaction 'blackmail'" isn't "a little over the top," it's petulant and incoherent. The basic idea of blackmail is "I know a secret about you and I'll reveal it if you don't give me money."

Musk's present position is that he keeps saying and promoting repulsive stuff in public and so some advertisers prefer to stop supporting or being associated with his business. This isn't remotely like "blackmail": the repulsive stuff is all public to begin with.
£37 paywall to read a critique of academic research culture? Ironic.

And stress. If I had to guess I would say stress matters more than both of those on average.
I flagged the post because it's extremely unlikely to lead to a worthwhile discussion in any way or form. There will be some who support Elon and will state so. There will be some who don't and will also state so. Both of those people will flame each other in various capacities.

For example, if I suggested that the world would be better if he hadn't basically done a right wing radicalization speedrun, didn't endorse people with hateful ideologies, didn't act in ways that even made his trans daughter want nothing to do with him, or if he was just nicer in general. That point of view is known, yet doesn't add much, aside from grounds for disagreement in the eyes of some.

As for the actual impact of running a company like Twitter/X is run, a few years are probably needed to gather all the facts - then it can be used as an example of what not to do in business school, or how big/small the impact of certain choices actually is. I look forwards to this being reposted in maybe 2026.
Mainland China is behind on cultural exports in the last few decades, but Hong Kong is not.
That being true, I do doubt that a single obituary writer falls in the poorest 1% of individuals. If I were to take a guess, I think the average salary of a journalist who writes obituaries may fall in the top 25% of income. Does the gap in life expectancy continue to be that large if we compare the top 1% and the top 25%?
I remember that he visited his old football club in Germany a couple of years ago and spoke in German on the occasion.
In the "Why?" section he says that he is a CTF player. He should be very security-concernet, he shouldn't?

> And what's the functional difference between bark(weight) and dog.bark()?

The first is extensible by other programmers working in other systems, and the second is not. You can only add dog.jump(weight) if you own the Dog source code. Inheritance may grant you a way to add behaviour, or it may not. No-one can stop you from writing jump(weight) in your own module.

We all work on numbers this way without friction: - max(2,3), mean([1,2,3,4]), etc.
If only you'd written that 15 years ago :/

I've played Ballerburg on my dad's Atari ST when I was a kid and everybody else already was on DOS/early windows. I later on attended the DHBW (back then still the "BA Mannheim") and would have loved to know that he was the creator back then.

Thanks for making me smile, anyways!
This has also become a problem as a cyclist. I live in a bicycles-first city, commute that way almost every day, and over the past decade when LED lights became the norm, almost every day during this time of the year there's at least one person that just mindlessly snapped their headlight onto the handlebar. It might just fully shine into your face. Back in the days of those dim incandescent bulbs powered by whimsy generators, it basically didn't matter which direction the light pointed, but with super efficient battery-powered lights, this is annoying. And if both of you are traveling at even just moderate speeds, you don't even have time to communicate the issue in a proper way, except for maybe shouting "it's blinding" and hoping the other person can put two and two together.
In the short-term the ASICs won't come from startups. Think companies that already have custom silicon + deep pockets + a need to squeeze every watt at scale.

Eg, Google (TPU), Apple (NPU), Amazon, Telsa (Dojo), Microsoft/OpenAI, etc.
Not at all. As someone who has family in hospitals I can say that this happened. At least in my locality.

Can you claim the same using your experience?

That is why I can say these things with total certainty. Conspiracy theory is a derogatory term to dismiss any critical voices.

In essence saying that something is "conspiracy theory" is meaningless, and it itself does not say anything. It does not provide evidence, nor logical thinking. It is represents non-cricital thinking towards things.
Sceptical of this. Where did that number come from? What's the uncertainty? Yes, it's an extremely unlikely event, but unlikely events happen all the time. There's just as good an argument that given the advantages conferred by the union, it's bound to be successful given enough iterations.
Nick Lane wrote some amazing popular science books on the history of mitochondria;

- Power, Sex, Suicide for a general overview and history of mitochondria (did you know that Lynn Margulis, main proponent of the endosymbiont theory, was once married to Carl Sagan?!?)

- The Vital Question on restraints on life due to the biochemistry of mitochondria

Both highly, highly recommended.
These “meat-impostors” are popular with vegans who liked taste of meat and miss it. Turns out there are quite few of these. It might be stupid from point of view of non-vegans. The products might even be unlheathly but it doesnt matter. Hard to put this against them.
Oh that wasn't clear. I thought I could play more times on the world map
You want the principles of operations manual (that's the ISA reference) if it's seriously troublesome stuff, but usually there is no need for anything like that. Oftentimes issues are things like the system being Big Endian. If it were z/OS and not Linux you'd need to deal with a different object format and some weird calling convention stuff (even if sticking with z/OS Unix, it's not a SysV calling convention, and it's not ELF, but it is POSIX and SuS), and also EBCDIC interop possibly, so slightly more difficult, but still doesn't usually require doing any assembly. A lot of common nix software will compile and run just fine with no changes.
So far it appears that Huawei is the only Chinese firm producing chips on 7nm; while western commenters have stated that it is a SMIC process - I don't actually think they know for sure as none of these companies have made it official - in other words the process may be proprietary to Huawei.

However 7nm is in volume production at a level so high that can do non-critical projects such as the Mate 60 phone rather than just the stuff where all imports to China are sanctioned (high-end AI chips, chips for spacefaring, and military).

Likely other sanctioned Chinese chip designers will use the process as it appears that Chinese authorities want internal competition rather than just have one single dominant company (Huawei).
None. This was the original request.
I wonder if this publication counts as such. :)
There's a little known law in the USA which states the following;

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

It's not always followed but it does remain fairly important in the mind of American citizens
"Third World" is very much a Cold War term, with roots in French history:

All right, so we need a person body segmentation, that's not a huge deal now, but then we need to serve it somewhere and we need to decide if we'll do this on client side, server side or in-between.

All of these have pros and cons, and I am sure big companies already measured and optimized the hell out of the solution and this is why I am interested in the topic.

It's also an unvalidated claim, predicated upon assumptions.

I've hired people I "don't like" on a personal level. I care more about their ability to work positively with oters, and their professionalism and skill.

Yet you and the parent poster have assumed he is hiring a cult, because he spends time evaluating?

A weird assumption to make.
