Dear no, rather exactly the opposite. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised at this point if all new cars have the capability to reboot the display system in the middle of driving.

You definitely don't want these systems intertwined. It has the side benefit of allowing you to do pretty aggressive things like using more modern hardware, software, etc. E.G. last time I checked, Tesla uses Godot for a decent amount of their UI.
GM was created by financially engineering a bunch of car companies together and stamping different name plates on the same vehicles and my whole life they've made terrible cars in the USA. They are run by accountants not car people. From not bothering to make quality vehicles, because they claimed the majority of new car buyers don't drive a car past 100,000 miles to not offering Supercruise on any of their other models, because they had to wait for the Escalade refresh. Dropping the features we actually want is another in a long line of terrible decisions consumer not friendly decisions by their company.
Ask HN: Use Surplus Solar Power?
I have the option of setting up a (thermo)solar installation that can output either hot water or electricity. The problem: I have no use for either, so I'm looking for chemical production processes that could be done with electrolysis, ideally in a safe way (eg. _not_ hydrogen production). Any ideas?
Would it really be a "feedback loop"? I can see how the technique will enable small LLM's to emulate the quality of large LLM's. Though I fail to see how training on the output of a large LLM would ever produce something of superior quality to that LLM itself.
I've never been in a Tesla but does that mean that you can't pull it open with your hands?

I'll put that into a checklist of things to try whenever I'll buy my next car.
"All in all, the research suggests, hunter-gatherer adults spent an average of 30 to 40 hours per week on all subsistence-related activities combined, which is considerably less than the workweek of the typical modern American, if the American’s 40 or more hours of paid employment is added to the hours spent on domestic chores."
I don't think that would fall within the scope of a utility like cog.

I wrote a minimal tool long back which I used to extract parts of code from my test suite as json which I could then use within my documentation generator to embed these snippets as example.

The examples then are guaranteed to be correct because they are quite literally pulled from the project's test suite. The util is written i n ts but should work with any lang. that supports C or Python style comments.

I’ve been using ad blockers for years now, mainly on DNS level. Last week I decided to test Apple’s private relay and for 5 minutes I had to deal with internet with ads. Disgusting experience.
This will only change when liability becomes a regular thing in computing, like in every other industry out there, instead of only high integrity computing.

Thankfully the wheels are already set in motion.
I suspect that when presented with the actual "cost" of reading an article up front, most people realize that they just don't actually care that much about reading it. When the cost is indirect (via ads) and deferred (in terms of the effects on the entire system, leading to what we have today), it's a lot easier to ignore.
VW Passat 2019 is very good with Android Auto and Carplay, now that I've got it connected.

Pixel 4a needed a specific cable which did not work with a Pixel 6a. No cable worked so I now use a Motorola wireless connector and it works well with both phones.

You are not wrong in what you're saying, it is just weirdly materialistic.

The problem about homeopathy isn't that it is a placebo or a the result of a study that had shit methodology. The problem with homeopathy is that it is made up bullshit that remains in the health space despite clear evidence it does not work.

Just like with horoscopes, the problem isn't what it does in itself, but where the unchallenged believes lead to. My neighbour died with cancer at the age of 50 as she only wanted "natural" medicine and homeopathy to treat it. A chemo therapy would have likely saved her life her heartbroken kids told me.

So sure, we can pretend there are no side effects of accepting bogus medicine, and even then it is an obvious cash grab, because homeopathy is not cheap. But it being bogus is the main problem.

Given they are building out their own ad network and the huge premium you get for ad attribution, which they can do handily with the level of insights they have. I'm not so surprised. As Cory Doctorow says, what's more lucrative than selling privacy? Selling privacy and selling tracked ads at the same time. It's a similar thing with Apple and sustainability. They haven shown they'd rather shred old but still functional iPhones rather than sending them to a waste heap, where they could be diverted and or mined for parts. They greatly limit repairability with VIN pairing. Yet they spent a substantial amount of time in their latest iPhone presentation selling the notion that Apple is sustainable. Freeing customers of the moral burden that releasing a new phone every year and using finite resources to build them is fundamentally incompatible with sustainability.

It's probably too late but Mozilla should have pushed on with FF OS or some kind of operating system strategy.

By now they could have had it on large market of cheap phones with an app store to give some revenue. The phones with USB C could be a basic PC, like they envisioned in design concepts back in 2010.

Add slick, basic desktop to growing market of raspberry pi like devices... they'd have integrated their browser everywhere.

The chance to offer a phone that is also a PC is something no companies want to offer. They can't risk cannibalizing their existing products.

Mozilla should have done it.

I would want this for C, C within C. You can just write C code in a C file that runs at "compile time" to create more C code.

And I want it to be built-in to Prettier, so all this happens when I press Ctrl+S to save the file.
Nobody is conflating bugs in a C program with bugs in WASM. Nobody is saying that there are sandbox escaping bugs. I give up.
It's true, but it's kinda like Android vs Apple a while ago. Tesla is selling the vast majority of vehicles with the vast majority of profit and charging stations (kinda like 3rd party accessories for an iPhone), and everything else is fragmented and not very profitable.

I agree, but predicting the peak of an S curve isn’t easy either, as we saw during the pandemic.

My conclusion is similar to Verge’s: predicting the far future is impossible. We can imagine a variety of scenarios, but you shouldn’t place much faith in them.

Predicting even a couple years in advance looks pretty hard. Consider the next presidential election: the most boring scenario is Biden vs. Trump and Biden wins. Wildcard scenarios: either one of them, or both, dies before election day. Who can rule that out?

Also consider that in any given year, there could be another pandemic.

I'm referring to how Stephen King discusses his writing process in On Writing. I doubt you actually believe Stephen King might be a p zombie and I'm skeptical you really think consciousness is an illusion. I think if i chained you to a bed and sawed off your leg (like what happens to the protagonist in Misery) you would insist you were a conscious actor who would prefer to not suffer. I don't even know what consciousness is an illusion is supposed to mean.

If I sawed off your leg would it have the moral consideration of removing the leg of a barbie doll's leg if you feel your consciousness is an illusion?

When I write a story my brain might be doing something you could refer to as a black box calculation if you squint a little, but how is it "statistics?" When I feel the desire to urinate, or post comments on hacker news, or admire a rainbow, or sleep am I also "doing statistics?"

You seem to be referring to what people traditionally call "thinking" or "cognition" and rebranding it as "statistics" in search of some rhetorical point.

My point is human beings have things called "personalities" and "preferences" that inform their decision makings, including what to write. In what sense is that "statistics"?

The idea that the human subconscious is not consciously accessible is not a new idea. Freud had a few things to say about that. I don't think it tells us much about AI. I do think my subconscious ideas are informed by my consious preferences. If I hate puns I'm not going to imagine story jdeas involving puns, for example.

Most authors would prefer copyright exists because they'd prefer book publishers, bookstore retailers and the like pay them royalties instead of selling the books they made without paying them. It's pretty simple conceptually, at least with traditional books.

Copyright existed far longer than the last 50 years so how is our 50 years of culture relevant? The U.S. has had copyright since 1790.

You have a lot of great answers here but an additional issue is payments being an unconsolidated network with high trust requirements, which adds a lot of friction to payment in aggregate if not for everyone.

I would never bother to set up an account and then payment method to make the payment of 25c in the first place. I'd be trusting my information to a news network or some random syndication shop. Most everyone will be expecting an account set up, and then be using one of dozens of payment providers. It's just a news article, which these days are closer to blog posts.

I don't exactly want one payment network to rule them all either, so in general I think that is just a currently unsolved problem.

The Carnot limit for 26C -> 5C rerigeration is around: 1 / (T_high / T_low - 1) = 1/(300/278-1) = 13.

Industrial refrigerators can get to CoP of around 4 for this temperature delta. The overall system performance will typically be much lower, due to the need to run fans and other systems.

A couple of interesting technologies to watch in this area:

1. Acoustic refrigerators that use acoustic waves in helium. They theoretically can approach the Carnot limit.

2. Supercritical CO2 cycles. They can be used for larger deltas without losing efficiency.
For what it's worth, most vehicles still have aftermarket dash panels and wiring harnesses so you can install whatever you want. Way less of a compromise than buying an older vehicle, but I wouldn't expect some of the control integrations with the steering wheel and other displays to work though.

Really in retrospect nothing has changed from the days double-din was standard apart from some extra steps. Does anyone know if there are projects that reverse engineer these misc integrations for various manufacturers? Is it all just CAN bus or something proprietary?
These are research projects you don't want to touch for anything other than publishing papers until they are adopted by $BIGCO and has ~5 man years of engineering effort.

What is so complicated about admitting that Israel is stealing land as we speak, with its colonies in the west bank? Even Israel has no issues with colonizing its neighbors, so it's amazing to see you argue otherwise. It's not a secret.

Also it's amazing how nuance is needed when it's to discuss Israel's war crimes, land grabs, and everything else. But none is required when it's about Palestinians. Do you also say that "it's complicated" when someone talks about Hamas?
Some even disassembled their games to modify them ;)
Everything you said in your comment has been debunked. IDF claimed that Hamas had HQ in Al Shifa hospital, and all they found as proof was a calendar, and they stopped saying there was a HQ. They then moved onto another hospital claiming that was the correct HQ, then that turned out to not be true as well.

Regarding ceasefire, Israel has broken a total of 17 ceasefires in the past. Ranging from assassinations to straight up bombing civilians during ceasefire period.

I don't understand your reasoning with "they do roof knocks, and tell people to evacuate, so it's all good when civilian areas get demolished and children die, that's war!"

Israel has done nothing but lie since the beginning of this genocide.

This is all happening alongside the blatant terrorism happening in the West Bank with the settlers. You can't seriously defend a nation when the leader is openly saying "wipe them all out - all of them."
I've never seen an app as confusing as the official reddit app, and I consider myself of normal intelligence

Good. It should have been that way since the beginning. It’s infuriating that companies feel that they can do this sort of things without any form of consent.

This is a weird nostalgic blast from the past for me. A teacher of mine in high school had a cart of these for his English composition classes, and I never got a chance to dig into what was actually inside one.
i agree with Proven's [dead]ed comment that "Free software doesn't exist to reward developers and contributors." in the sense that the reason it's good for free software to exist is that it rewards users, not developers and contributors

on the other hand, the events which cause it to exist are that developers and contributors write it, so in that sense it does exist because it rewards developers and contributors in some sense

different people find different things rewarding. perhaps some people do find it rewarding to subsidize large companies with bad internal policies. but i don't

This has nothing to do with hypermedia. You can return json, xml, pdf, or binary and be 100% hypermedia-driven.

Yes. I skimmed through that. It has nothing to do with hypermedia.
When I see "iOS Navigation Patterns" I cringe. There are no patterns and it's one of the worst things (there are many) when comparing to Android. Going back on Android is easy, and back can mean multiple things. On iOS that I've been using over a year I just blindly try one of the two back "patterns", then look for buttons in an unreachable places. And even that sometimes doesn't work.

Don't let developers use patterns, fix it on OS level. Developers don't want you to leave parts of their app - try doing back action on Instagram reels for example.
These terms should be null and void. You cannot give informed consent as you have no clue what could happen in the future. Consent should be given on a case by case basis. Also, not hidden in 100 pages long EULAs that you have to agree to in block in order to do anything. There cannot be informed consent with coercion and deception either. Personal data are as private as medical records.

> E-books are becoming told off corporate surveillance

Perhaps it's a small point, but the title is wrong imo. There's no becoming about it, this was a major point all along, from inception. Just like mobiles are spying devices (updated so that batteries are non removable now), like smart meters, like electric cars, etc.

Some of us have known and talked about the level of spouting being baked into hardware for a long time. This sort of intrusion was telegraphed, but missed by most technology fans, who have misplaced their faith with government and corporations.
I'm not a PM, but I found this really weird initially, too. Then I realized I could start safely storing things in the glovebox conveniently - behind a code, no physical key necessary. It changed my mind and I started considering it well thought out.

I am somewhat surprised it's not one of the actions you can customize on the hotbar. I have no doubts that if people complained about it, Tesla would add it.
I don't doubt the 'what', clearly it's needed.

My point was about the 'how'. See the following example code from the manual and tell me it doesn't resemble C++ if you squint.

class PersonName<string name> {
assert ...
string Name = name;
}

class Person<string name, int age> : PersonName<name> {
assert ...
int Age = age;
}

def Rec20 : Person<"Donald Knuth", 60> {

I’ve been walking the streets of San Francisco since day one of lockdown watching the unmitigated unidirectional closure of almost everything. And while the slow 4 year plus timeline has normalized most people to what’s happening, my long arc observation is that things are only going to get worse. The ball is about to drop now with the major revaluations lining up as high interest forces more walkways.

The impact on city revenue will be significant right when problem think SF is pulling out of things. And the city knows it. They’ve projected it clearly but no one will listen.

> AI is expensive as hell to run, and more advanced systems might require more and more computation. We can only build so many GPUs

While certainly not using techniques like LLMs, we do know you can get some decent intelligence out of a 23 watt analog computer, the human brain.

So it is plausible that we could find algos + hardware which use 100W of power, and are quite a bit smarter than a human. Multiply that times a multi-megawatt datacenter, and the availability of some level of super intelligence might appear to be relatively “limitless.”
There's no duplication involved. It's an immutable database with an eavt (entity, attribute, value, time) index model. Pick a point in time to filter entities existing only at that point. It's effectively a read-only pointer to the full db created for free after every transaction.
