wow the demographic who buy giant F-150 trucks don't want EVs, what a shock
Here is an article with a bit more detail on the subject:

It seems like Israel has closed some border crossings to journalists, and Egypt has done the same on their side.
Maintaining wiki requires a lot of time. Even just adding new content is much more work than a reply over IM/email because one needs to find a right place (if stricture is not completely flat), explain the context (which people exchanging messages have but would be missing for someone who would read wiki), organize content so it has some internal structure e. t. c. And there is a bigger problem - wiki to which new pages frequently added typically full of outdated or no longer relevant information. Updating or archiving old wiki pages requires a lot of time too (and this work sometimes can be done only by an author or someone who knows subject equally well).

It is nice to have knowledge documented, but there is a tradeoff between time spend on wiki and time saved thanks to the wiki.
There were people waiting for the Cybertruck pricing announcement; they were like "If the Cybertruck is actually $40K I'll get that, but otherwise I'll get a Lightning". Or "If they actually have a 500 mile Cybertruck I'll get that despite its looks".

Neither came true, so Ford is probably reducing production just as they get a bump in orders.

Every popular webapp can be easily made with PHP and hosted in a bedroom, prove me wrong. We don't even need backend solutions like containers or kubernetes, companies have definitely wasted time investigating these technologies and putting money into them.

I do think that most of it is ignorance, but realistically upload speed is irrelevant for most people most of the time.
There are ads for sports betting though, which is absolutely "adult", it's just less likely to trigger culture-war arguments.
Unfortunately for that idea, the law enforcement disclosures allowed under HIPAA are not limited to disclosures related to violations of federal law, or disclosures only to federal law enforcement.
That’s what I’m wondering. Are slow sales happening across the board? Or is it focused on segments where “traditional EV buyers” tend not to shop?
that would first of all take a lot of work to make it absolutely clear, a lot of work to use the mouse, and finally a lot of work to fight the lawsuits until it was established that you didn't violate and could do what you were doing.

In short nobody but a crazy person or someone with a real deep artistic need that absolutely required that version of Mickey to work would ever pursue it.

Egypt prefers dead Palestinians within Gaza over Palestinians living elsewhere and Israel, maybe, controlling the Gaza strip.

Al-Sisi, as reported in https://english.alarabiya.net/News/middle-east/2023/10/12/Ga...:

> But the case of Gazans “is different”, he said, because their displacement would mean “the elimination of the (Palestinian) cause.”
I'm currently an American who might move to the Netherlands if my interview goes well enough. The projected salary that I'll have is 105k euros. Reading around, this seems like a relatively okay rate given cost of living. I'll be leaving a decent amount of money on the table from my current job but I'm relatively young and want to use the opportunity to be in Europe for a two to five years before returning to the states.

Is there anything about your personal experience in the Netherlands as an American engineer that you could share?
Everyone seems to have forgotten Hogwarts: Legacy was this year too.

Maybe not to your taste, but over 15m copies sold, second highest single player game of all time on Steam after Cyberpunk and very strong reviews (89% aggregate on opencritic).

Okay, yeah that's fair. Thinking strictly about copyright, I think what I said is true, but you're right there's other IP law at play here.
Unlike Tesla, which makes a profit on its EV's, most other EV makers lose money on every car. Losing money on every car when there are economic clouds approaching probably doesn't make the accounting department happy.
Don't forget about the open-source XCP-ng[1] to which you can add Xen Orchestra (which is like vCenter; a key reason people use ESXi) which has a flat-rate (no socket, host or VM limits) $2600/year Enterprise license. And XCP-ng even supports migrating from VMware[3].

Even then, it's often not fresh. Real wasabi should be generally consumed within 30 minutes of being ground/grated, before it loses its flavor.

You can absolutely buy some wasabi powder that is made with up to 50% real wasabi on Amazon fairly cheaply, but what you're tasting is still going to be the horseradish. They're basically just selling you the discarded remains of wasabi that isn't actually any good anymore. Still safe to consume, but stale, essentially.
US EV sales growth is almost 40% this year. What kind of expectations did they have?
I saw these in 70s espionage flick "Three Days of the Condor". Why are they so expensive? What use do they have in 2023?
Thank you for explanation. I see there is still a lot I have to learn about LLMs.
Is this basically a stereographic video, like a 3D movie?
They should just take away the Chinese tariffs at this point so BYD and Geely can come in and clean the US automakers out. Any idiot can see that a cheap EV or even hybrid is all people want, but no one wants to deliver it.
Someone did it above.
My kid is only 2 years old, but when he can understand the concept I will be sure to teach him that he doesn't have an arbitrarily large choice, he can only choose from within the options we have available.
I wish you had built this in 2021 but congrats!!

Message me, might have a use-case with a Fortune 100.
There are so few places to talk about it because one side always has a higher footing then the other. There does not exist a place where both sides are taken at 50/50, that doesn't exist for anything politically motivated. So what you get is people who tend to be around the middle, accepting that both sides are at fault. And then you get the extremist views, and those get comments so they jet up to the top.

HackerNews is proportionally North American, so you tend to get larger view set from English speaking North Americans. And non-English articles are largely ignored. And neither of these two populations speak English as their first language. So limiting yourself to English limits your view to English speaking view.
I appreciate the optimism, always, but I think this is missing the forest for the trees. Kinda like the people obsessed with FBI crime statistics (tho obviously you’re arguing in good faith, so not nearly as objectionable).

The poor in the US might be less likely to starve now than they were in 1933, but I really think the narrative that the US has been “solving” anything about poverty to be incredibly inaccurate. Some indicators (obviously an impossible point to prove either way):

Poverty is the 4th greatest cause of U.S. deaths - https://news.ucr.edu/articles/2023/04/17/poverty-4th-greates...

Deaths of Despair are up - https://www.jec.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/republicans/2019...

For most U.S. workers, real wages have barely budged in decades - https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2018/08/07/for-most-...

58% of Americans have no savings - https://www.cnbc.com/2023/04/11/58percent-of-americans-are-l...

And last but not least: this article ;)

Edit: WAY more importantly I thought about this claim more and maybe I’m giving it too much credit. Are you saying that the people in the Great Depression just didn’t have a good enough work ethic, but now we’ve scared people into having a good work ethic? Cause I don’t think that lines up with my experience in our society or knowledge of our history at all. IMO
The telecom market isn't free, that's why
Thank you! This is fantastic. Letters From Prison [1] is incredible. Will take a look at the other books soon.

That may have made sense once, but we have landed carriers all throughout the ME since before the Gulf Wars. Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman. KSA, Kuwait, Iraq and Diego Garcia as needed. We're not going to ever use an Israeli base to attack Iran so unsure what purpose it serves tactically or strategically. Turkey/KSA are happy to support our projects in Syria.

These facilities are huge, each capable of supporting squadrons of US aircraft.

How much do you want for that comment?

Someone who spends years perfecting a recipe has no similar protections, yet they've certainly done work. Their options for making money off of it comes from maybe associated works, or a restaurant, or hiding the recipe. Maybe authors will have to read works out loud? Create different types of value in a world where we will have AI generating stories en masse?
Authors can sell their own books even if someone else publishes it. Especially if it's published into the public domain.
I threw that old thing (logitech squeezebox) in the recycling.

With how warm it was in standby I bet it cost more money in power bills than itself don'tcha know.

Maybe, but that setting has been there for me for as long as I can remember.
Small data sets suffer from bad recall in full text search. So a bit of smart fuzzyness added to the search by AI could improve the experience on locally indexed bookmarks quite well.
Yes, doing light work and socializing aren't mutually exclusive activities, but that's not my point. You can just sit around shooting the shit, with various people doing different tasks and some just relaxing. Time budgets separate these, but I'm deliberately avoiding trying to summarize those except in the broadest possible sense.

I have another comment in this thread giving examples of how modern and ancient foragers differ.
I'll let your comment speak for itself.

We did give lots of aid to Ukraine and we somehow were able to have discussions about whether we should continue to do so, in a relatively civilized manner. [0]

Somehow, when it comes to Israel and/or Palestine, all nuance gets lost, my "side" is "right", and the other "side" is an unholy abomination, morally disgusting or some other thing without room for earnest discussion.

I'll let the rest of this thread speak for itself.

Mickey’s silhouette is still used in various Disney logos, so it’s not too wild a connection to make.

Sure, the whole point of CRF is to set a quality target and forget about it, or, with ABR, to be as good as you can with an average bitrate target (under constraints). But you can't do that across resolutions, e.g. do you pick the higher bitrate 360p version, or the lower bitrate 480p one, considering both coding artifacts and upscaling degradation?
From the MacRumors article:

> For especially sensitive actions, including changing the password of the Apple ID account associated with the iPhone, the feature adds a security delay on top of biometric authentication. [...] However, Apple said there will be no delay when the iPhone is in familiar locations, such as at home or work.

It's fascinating how the device is using location as another security factor.
As a millenial devs with kids, the switch is really the only reason I game for what you mentioned. Quick, easy and convenient. Also, my son is of the age of playing video games (7) and the switch just has good games to play two player with him on. (Time honored tradition of kicking the kids butt in Mario Kart).
I think most EV buyers would prefer a Tesla to be honest. Better charging experience, better technology and better engineering.
You should stop arguing. He's correct in this critique, and you don't even disagree that he's correct. The problem is that it's a critique of how (he alleges) hype/VC people have over-sold WASM, not an actual problem with WASM.
If all they ever care about is sending a few emails and watching videos, possibly many at a time, then 500 down is better than 300 symmetric.
Are there such laws on the books anywhere? It seems like it would be hard to thread the needle to avoid people skirting the law. Can you host a pop up bar for one night to qualify for occupancy for six months? Rent to your brother? Airbnb listing that does poorly?
Yea, but a quick prayer on take off/landing is not unwarranted. Normalized by journey instead of mile, flying is more dangerous than driving (according to Wikipedia anyway).
It’s easier to blame thousands of people you just let go than to take accountability for your own poor performance as a leader. You don’t wake up one morning with 1500 extra people at a company without bad leadership.
There are a lot of tech people and programmers in the game industry and in game-industry-adjacent industries (like mocap, lidar, etc), especially around LA. A lot of that work is somewhat thankless, but getting industry-only passes to E3 was a one of the few cool perks, especially back when E3 was off-the-walls with porn stars and insane swag.
even if the EVs are cheap how will they be charged? Most people who can only afford lower priced cars won't own a home with a charger
Antique value.
That kind of makes sense, it's like how rock-climbing on a rope is scary until you actually fall (or descend) and can feel the tension of the rope actually supporting you.

Even on a gut level, feeling the plane bounce against the "road" gives you a confirmation that, yes, in fact, it is bouncing against something (even if that something is just air under the wings).
This sounds heavenly. I think this will now be added to my list of potential retirement options.
Poverty isnt a synonym for sad or unable to save. The US has far less people living in poverty than ever before. Obviously weve got a long way to go but removing the worst living conditions people historically faced is a big accomplishment.
All good points, but why write this in an 'open letter' style to unnamed baseband vendors?

Does Google not have sufficient contact with key decision makers at Qualcomm, MediaTek, Samsung, etc. to encourage them to improve the the security of their baseband firmware? Those are the people who really need to be convinced.
What if that terrorist was launching rockets from that apartment? Would it be justified then? These things aren't black-and-white. I don't want to be the person who says how much collateral damage is okay.
I've been in touch with several Israeli HNers who are in much the same position as you describe, and I admire their, and your, capacity to stay open despite being under orders of magnitude more pressure than most of us here. This is the spirit I'm asking for commenters to find in themselves before posting.

(Edit: Lest this seem like an expression of bias: I've been in touch with HNers on the other side of the conflict as well and can say similar things about them.)
I don't think the Lightning and Tesla customer base overlap that much.
> The Worst Mistake in the History of the Human Race

I'm sure the people invented agriculture didn't think of it as a mistake. It's not like they decided that they liked eating cultivated grass seeds more than wild nuts and mammoth steaks. They did so because that's what they had available.
> even when Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs does finally come into public domain, I can't imagine it meaningfully affects their bottom line.

Given that Disney is infamous for its practice of rereleasing its older films periodically and otherwise making them completely unavailable (the "Disney Vault"), it seems that they have a business model which is fully predicated on copyright exclusivity.
How they "work?" They don't "work." You create a post and type out an appropriate title. Or not, and then you can deal with someone who calls you out on it. Your choice.
> 1. It has to happen in the same time as the agression

There are still rockets flying out of Gaza into Israel.

> 2. Its only purpose is to defend against the agression

The people sending those rockets are in Gaza, so to stop them, Israel has to go there.

> 3. The defense has to be proportionate

That one is regularly the most difficult point of contention in individual self-defense. Hamas essentially goes by this playbook: https://imgur.com/XX6HVrn

So, moving it back to individual self-defense (or coming to somebody's aid, which is covered by approximately the same rules): what should be done about the guy holding a loaded gun at his hostage's head while covering himself in babys?

For a small EV, charging overnight at 110v is plenty.
I guess, except Blackrock literally does not buy houses whereas Blackstone owns "0.03% of single-family homes in the US" and rents them out.

A distinction that seems entirely relevant to the claim "Blackrock [...] buy thousands of homes and rent them out."
The Palestinian people and cause has both Muslims and Christians. Most zionists are secular Jewish people. This isn't about religion, but, land.

The recipe itself isn’t protected by copyright but the rest of a cookbook is. E.g. their writings about the recipe and the photography. Usage of one’s likeness is also subject to protection. E.g. you can’t market a cookbook on Amazon as Ina Garten’s Barefoot Contessa even if the contents of the book are exactly her recipes. I don’t think it’s a good analogy.
That’s how every response to this sort of criticism: when people criticize capitalism, response is “that’s not a true capitalism”. When people criticize policies of communist regimes, defenders of communism say that these regimes are not instances of real communism. When majority instances are not supposedly true instances of whatever-is-in-dispute, then one should stop coming up with it-is-not-true-X.
This actually has made me less happy with chatgpt.

If I wanted to google something (or bing, whatever), I would have done that. A major draw for me has been that chatgpt was providing a much better experience than search engines.

I see you edited your comment.

the article is an opinion, like your earlier comment, there is no need to cite anything or be to pedantic.

As a native English speaker try to simplify the wording on your arguments a bit. They are somwhat highfalutin and a little convoluted. Your message is fairly simple, no reason to add extra complexity… best case you confuse some esl people, worst case you seem like hot air.

“The finest language is mostly made up of simple unimposing words” - George Eliot.
They definitely police the platform. They make sure that anyone who uploads content that threatens ad revenue is appropriately disciplined.
War is hell. Mostly innocents suffering on both sides of the border. And we don't seem to learn, entire human civilization's history is full of war, even peace time is just preparation for the next war.
ISPs largely don't compete. They're legalized regional monopolies. There was a single cable TV provider, and they became the single cable internet provider, and so they don't need to reduce prices or improve the service offering, at least not until an alternative competitor emerges.
> However supportive of Israel one may be and how repulsed one should be by Hamas, I'd say that we should not fool ourselves in that the military operation in Gaza is Israel defending itself ("Israel's right to defend itself" is now a commonplace phrase) rather than avenging itself.

I’ve felt that as well, and I would add that even if you feel every action is justified I am skeptical that it’s not counterproductive. Each civilian killed by mistake has family, friends, and neighbors who might be inclined to avenge them and it’s hard for me to see how this doesn’t end up giving Hamas more recruits than they’re losing.

I especially liked this FP piece where the author mentioned that the big driver they saw for terrorism was loss of land. That’s forced so much conflict and it seems likely to keep this raging for years to come.

Where it also gets tricky is the creation of additional Steamboat Willie content - if you want to create and publish new Steamboat Willie stuff, you'll have to be crystal clear that it's not coming from Disney. If it looks like it's coming from Disney, that's when they can step in.
Ask HN: What prevents Google from having the leading LLM?
It’s weird and a bit surprising to me that Google hasn’t been able to release an LLM for at scale usage that surpasses GPT-4, though they seem like they wish they could. Gemini Ultra seems like it’ll surpass GPT-4 once released next year, though GPT-4.5 may take the lead back either before then or soon after.

What are some of the functional reasons for Google not having the leading LLM, and what are some of the more intangible reasons?

In theory, they have more money, more access to compute, and to data, they have many great researchers, and they have great distribution.

In practice, though, what has made the difference for OpenAI?
Um, can I retract about the last 15 years of my advice?
