I was thinking about the worst-case impact of this case.

If they rule against chemical abortions, will we see a situation similar to Kate Cox in Texas where the ruling is taken to the extreme?

In other words, would any drug that induced an abortion -- whether intended or not -- be affected by this case?

That's a scenario that could have quite a large blast radius.

I wouldn’t be surprised a $2k top of the line GPU is a match/better than the built in accelerator on a Mac. Even if the Mac was slightly faster you could just stick multiple GPUs in a PC.

To me the news here is how well the Mac runs without needing that additional hardware/large power draw on this benchmark.

Well, actually,

1) She brought up potatos merely because someone else brought up an argument about potatos. She ate many other things. RTFA.

2) Calories aren't everything. Nutrients matter. Potatos are actually cheaper than rice when you account for all the nutrition. So it would make sense to make potatos a significant part of your diet, while still also mixing in plenty of rice (and, crucially, beans). If you actually ate nothing but rice you would become nutrient deficient and become sick.

Ask HN: Private yet Modern Smartphone?
What's the closest you can get to a private, but still modern phone?

On Android, since SafetyNet, if you want to run custom ROMs, you have to use workarounds to pass safety checks in important apps, like for banking. I would prefer not to use workarounds, as I don't want to wake up one day with important apps locked, possibly for a long period until a new workaround is found, if even.

I use an iPhone right now, and one thing I considered was to keep using the iPhone for banking apps, and get an Android phone with a custom ROM (probably something like LineageOS, built myself from source) for everything else. Use the Android for privacy, iPhone for apps that require SafetyNet on Android. This would work, but it would be less convenient to manage 2 phones.

What do you use?
Interesting, but it seems quite early in the project.

The general issue is the same as fast food. McD does not in any significant way care about any of the 8,000,000,000 humans food preferences. Only aggregate.

If your market is selling billions of something, making niche stuff that sells 10,000 barely registers. With a market cap of $212.5B a 1% daily shift is $2B. Those sales don't register. It's the same issue it always is with capitalism. You think it's supposed to result in something, it doesn't.

Strategy: Make a cover that appeals to the broadest demographic blandly, yet appealingly. Don't insult anybody. Don't use imagery / technique / layout that drives away buyers. Don't appeal to any single individual's tastes, unless they drive huge sales. Effectively, SEO optimize your covers.
Of course, you have a point!

First, the best case scenario is that I display a sign-in with Spotify button that I use to get artist information from Spotify! but the problem is that this has zero value from a technical standpoint as there is no such thing as Spotify Artist User. The artist profile can be managed by multiple places, some complicated sh*t, not as straightforward I imagined!

The second reason is that I don't wanna lock my self into Spotify's API too much because they can revoke my access anytime they want, and although everything is going fine for now, they don't seem to be very developer-friendly. For example, I need to wait 6 weeks to get a bigger limit rate for their API usage.

So, if I use something more reliable for auth like Google or normal email/password, I can easily switch from relying on Spotify easily (think "turn your apple music/sound cloud etc.." to a website).

I don't need Google specifically, it's just an auth method but I get the confusion, I was planning to use Spotify's login button to just avoid all this but used Google for the reasons above. I'll probably add Email as another signing up method next to Google to mitigate some of the confusion.
I've seen this claim thrown around a few times but haven't really seen any evidence that it's true, beyond a few unconvincing anecdotes.
The minimalist presentation style is in itself marketing for all of these. The "Moral Philosophy" cover isn't set that way for any actual constraints, and what I presume is a set of initials or an abbreviation in the first issue isn't there for practical reasons; someone had to go out of their way to make a way to press that, if it's old enough, or to design it, if it's newer.

Your thoughts are shaped by the minimalist presentation of the books; it provokes a feeling of prestige. Minimal covers have been very common with Ivy publishers for their non-GA books for decades, and not because it's less manipulative. It just sells better.

The American first edition books in the best-selling series "Harry Potter" are actually a better example of what you're going for, because they were printed in such a mass-market fashion. If you take the book sleeves off of them, there are no words at all, ignoring the spine.

This is a good thing, though. Buy American hardcover books with book sleeves! More often than not, you can take them off, and they look exactly like this.

How is behavior NOT a product of ones environment?

One only has the information to make decisions about the world they have gathered from their environment.

No one is born knowing correct way to behave.

As an example do you think everyone in the Middle East is Muslim because they've made the decision to be? Or because that is what their environment has taught them is correct.
Correct.

Also, even though animals suffer, it is a categorical error to project your perception and experience of suffering on animals.

Let's say I have a generic feed forward network the size of chatGPT and structurally interconnected in the same way.

My question is, that is it essentially a training problem?

This sounds interesting too from a calm technology perspective (at least as far as I understand the concept).

I'm not sure what you mean. VertexAI is a product in the larger Google Cloud portfolio. It makes sense that they house everything together instead of making disparate platforms for each. This makes authnz consistent for me and simplifies their end too.

In addition to the models, you'll find a host of day-2 features like model monitoring and experiment tracking. Having to vet and pick from 100+ new SaaS's for these is a nice to not have problem.
The trouble I see is that I don't believe that an entirely novel fundamental physical phenomenon could be created by the interaction of other fundamental physical phenomena. Fundamental phenomena would either exist or not exist, including the phenomenon of first-person experience.

For example, matter isn't formed by the composition of atoms, atoms are already matter to begin with. And due to various physical properties of atoms, they compose together. This is reasoning by analogy, which is inductive, but at least the line of reasoning is more consistent with what I understand about other areas of physics and logic.

It seems much more plausible to me that there would be some fundamental component of first-person experience. The sentient components could then compose together into complex sentient systems.

Some supporting evidence is that first-person experience in sentient systems, as far as I've observed, is usually motivated to preserve sentient systems, which indicates an emergent behavior of sentience directing motion and energy to orchestrate a self-perpetuating system, rather than the reverse.
I find the actions of Google here are as troubling as every other commenter. However, I cannot fathom managing 200TB on Google Drive. It's just such a terrible cloud platform experience for managing that much data. It is clearly design for "typical" consumers who have a few gigabytes at most; moving, modifying, downloading, and uploading files is all bottlenecked.

Personal anecdote: Once I was using Google Collab to process a few thousand images. I needed to move the photos (less than one GB) to a new folder. It took over an hour, and appeared to process the moves in JavaScript in my web browser.
Even with nuclear, ultimately storage will be needed. Throttling production of such an expensive piece of capital with low operational costs doesn't make much sense, it better to build to the average power needed and smooth out the peaks and valleys with a battery.
Unlimited did mean unlimited though. There was probably some sort of limit but this guy never in fact hit it. But Google stopped offering unlimited storage (probably because of people like this who would store 100s of TB). They notified him of this months before discontinuing the service and he apparently made no effort to find a different storage solution, maybe because it would be really expensive to store that much data in the cloud anywhere else. Did he think they would just continue to store the data indefinitely? That doesn't strike me as a reasonable assumption to make.
Starlink has 2 million customers, likely with >$1000 ARPU and is growing quite rapidly. $1B annually would be material. $1B as a one time payment is significant but seems unlikely to affect viability. Musk has said that Starship and Starlink are each $5B-$10B investments.
So you're saying the morale of the story is: if your situation is not an edge case, you're fine with using google. We won't tell you ahead of time what is an edge case though, as google finds new ones all the time.

Turns out we are exactly where I said we would be in this conversation.

We can allocate the homeless to numerous other existing towns without having to build new cities, and most importantly without having to build expensive shelters in places where land is already very expensive, like the coasts.

Where they have friends and family is irrelevant because nobody is entitled to live where they want, unless their families host them. I have friends in Paris that doesn't mean I can demand a flat there. Plus many of them are drug tourists that are from out of town, and those also happen to be the most dangerous ones.

With that said the small minority of homeless that are genuinely looking forward to being re-integrated into society must be given treatment, housing and support. This is a small minority, unfortunately.

Axel Springer, a global media powerhouse, and OpenAI, a leader in artificial intelligence technology, have unveiled an innovative partnership aimed at reshaping the landscape of journalism through cutting-edge AI integration.

In this partnership, ChatGPT will deliver summaries of the latest news articles published by Axel Springer's distinguished media properties, encompassing influential publications such as Politico, Business Insider, Bild, and Welt. This inclusive content extends to previously restricted premium articles behind paywalls. Notably, ChatGPT's responses will include transparent attribution and links directing users to the original articles, fostering both transparency and increased traffic to Axel Springer's platforms.
The flip side of this is privilege mindset: you have success in your life? Your upper middle class upbringing, social safety net, financial security and financially successful peer group played no part in it, it's all because you worked hard (or smart) and now enjoy your just desserts, might as well kick down the ladder behind you so those lazy bums don't get a leg up.

Arguably this is more common among privileged folks (including those fleetingly getting a whiff of privilege, aka "temporarily embarrassed billionaires") than "poverty mindset" is among poor folks. And of course the accusation of "poverty mindset" usually isn't what you hear from the kinds like the author who actively take time and money out of their meagerly successful lives to help those worse off than them. It's instead something you're far more likely to hear from those who "made it out" (often "against all odds" without any consideration what the idea of "odds" means in this context) and incidentally don't believe they "owe" anything to those they "left behind".
Ask HN: How much data do you create, how much do you consider is essential?
We are free to create as large of a digital footprint as we desire within the boundaries of the digital space. How much do you create and what do you consider essential? I have some personal writings, projects and photos and I realized I don’t have more than 32mb that’s meaningful. I started taking photos and although I wouldn’t consider them essential, they are valuable enough to backup but nothing I’d lose sleep over if they disappeared. I was creating a home backup system, and I was thinking about the size of the storage I needed in addition to my family’s and I only have some passwords and text files.

Starlink is nothing that you deploy and then you are done. When you have launched the last satellite, then the first ones launched will have reached the end of their lifespan and you essentially have to start over, deploy the entire constellation once again as the satellites reach the end of their lifespan one by one. With a lifespan of say 5 years, you will have to deploy the entire constellation once every 5 years, with 12k satellites you are looking at replacing 200 satellites each month, forever. That sounds possible without Starship but I can also imagine that being able to use Starship is necessary for the economical viability in the long run.
