My personal opinion:

1. The navigation works really well for me. Including routing via superchargers

2. The UX of not needing a key. The bluetooth phone key works so much more reliably than other car manufacturers (n=1)

3. The screen is very responsive. Touch UI is fast.

4. The backup and side camera view is the best I’ve seen on cars.

5. Record the last X minutes from all cameras when you honk (someone backed into my car and it’s nice to have easy access to the video footage via the usb stick)

6. Auto defogging.

7. Heating and de-icing the car from the app when I’m having breakfast.

8. Autosteer (the free included one) works surprisingly well. It handles more roads and situations than I’ve seen on other manufacturers

9. Auto detect different drivers from the phone key and sets their seat/steering/settings (and even their spotify account)

There’s dozen more small things that show the attention to detail that some car manufacturers also have in their hardware but almost never have in their software.

It’s not all perfect (eg the Spotify app could be better) but it’s a lot better than any other car or rental I’ve been in, including carplay).
Germans are among the happiest people in Europe but they know how to mess with a survey in direct (rude) ways along with their highest praise being kann man nicht meckern

What? Why would devices locked down at the OS-level to only a 1st-party store and only permitting installing through that 1st-party store be hardware-bound?

Winphones were bound to the Windows store, but were 3rd-party devices.
If you need an arbitrary point of reference to count time from, what's simpler, making a new one or using the existing predominant one that everything else does?

Making a competing standard and then having to deal with interop between standards is not simpler or better unless there's an actual benefit to be had.
your site is not loading at all for me on firefox (emulator error) and is totally non-functional on chrome (TCPCreate failed)

might be worth having some sort of automatic fallback to a static site after a certain amount of failed loading or an error

just saw the link to your html version in another comment and it took literally five minutes to load on firefox
I mean I’m all for a good anti government rant. But as someone who has has been through airport security in 15 cities this year and has 36 “segments” this year (landing and taking off in planes), TSA is the least intrusive part of government.
I was confused about whether or not they've released the weights for Phi-2

They HAVE released the weights, but you have to sign into Azure studio to get them. https://twitter.com/SebastienBubeck/status/17348017228314133... has a screenshot:

> to download phi-2 go to Azure AI Studio, find the phi-2 page and click on the "artifacts" tab. See picture.
And you're ignoring the fact that our neighbors are hostile towards us and share a border with another country.
Out of curiosity, which manufacturer? I suspect that CarPlay quality varies a lot by manufacturer; e.g. it sounds like GM really never tried very hard to get their CarPlay implementation to work well.
A no nonsense infotainment system doesn’t sound like the kind of thing people will spend $25billion a year on.
I am being flippant I suppose, but it is also so incredibly easy to publish such works when you have the money of an entire consortium behind you.

Also, how are these datasets to be shared? In some of the sets I've worked with, I've had to reintegrate subsets myself because though the authors published the embeddings of their data (e.g. cell1 is at position X and Y on PC1 and PC2), they flat out refused to publish the loadings (e.g. PC1 is made up of GeneX, GeneY, ...) making it obscenely hard to project your own data on to these reference Atlas's.

Yes, I'm disillusioned in general when I see these papers.
You are right. I shouldn’t have used that phrase. It was wrong and I agree with you 100% that isn’t the real reason, just a very poor abbreviation of a deeper reason.

It was for the more common reasons. To scapegoat the Jews while the government steals and does horrible things to its citizens.
Two states along the 1967 borders. If Israel and the US agreed to this, the international community would overwhelmingly support it. This would be more than enough to guarantee Israel's security.
At the end of the day, fight from civvy areas, get civvy areas demolished. That's the nature of the beast.

If you establish HQ in a building, that's now an acceptable target. The alternative is that civilian areas are an invulnerability shield that lets you conduct whatever operations you want.

And this is Israel holding back. They have the option to level all of Gaza, they don't. They do roof knocks, conduct evacuations. And they didn't break the ceasefire conditions either.
You've linked to a collection of writers panicking about technology they hardly understand, and are using that as evidence of... what, exactly?
Leaks in modern fridges are mostly caused by humans using a knife to try to defrost them and puncturing the pipes...

And then 2nd most common cause is water leaks or dampness causing the pipes to corrode through.

If you run a fridge till it dies like most people, you will probably see a leak on about 15% of cases (other causes of failure are motor capacitor failure, thermostat failure).

With an ammonia based refrigerant, every single leak indoors would likely kill a few people, so such a fridge design still wouldn't be considered acceptable for use in the home today.
But those companies would say they do have your permission.

Well the car is a 2010 model year and still works as well as the day it was new. The Bluetooth might stop working at some point but 14 years seems pretty good. The infotainment system might not even have been new that year and could go back as far as 2007.

These two things are not the same.

On the decel side, you do have cult-like behavior in EA. But it is not opposed by another cult.

E/acc vaguely gestures at beliefs, but it’s a loose affiliation of people attempting to create an explicit movement out of something more emergent, which is a bunch of people and organizations independently seeking to create something new or powerful or money-making.

They are riding and reflexively adding momentum to a technological wave.

These are not two houses alike in dogmatism. You have a fear-based movement explicitly organized around safetyism, and at best a techno-capitalist dynamic where people kind of wave to each other in the neighborhood.
I am dreading the future of cars, where they somehow are worse than a car I could buy right now but also I have to pay a monthly subscription for the worse experience.

The enshittification of everything is making me want to go berserk.
Or my superior workflow is Alt-u or hold U, which is a single shortcut/keystroke, so you lose there as well

The other issue with your attempt at solving undo without undo is that the deletion doesn't become part of redo, also a single word with a typo could be in the middle of a paragraph where you navigated with a trackpad, while ^W would delete near the current cursor position

You don't need magic to fix the ubersimplicity of current defaults, just a bit of openness
Shooting nonviolent protestors and then (as many do) saying why don't they choose nonviolence is an impossible trap to get out of. They have no options.
Funnily enough, you are quite wrong in this assumption. Reproduction does not entail natural selection they way you characterize it. There are far more evolutionary dead ends than evolutionary success stories. I imagine the distinct lack of "evolutionary pressures" on a super-powerful AI would, in this toy scenario, leave you with the foundation model equivalent of a kākāpō.

That having been said, I wonder what you even mean by natural selection in this case. I guess the real danger to an LLM would be... surviving cron jobs that would overwrite their code with the latest version?
> You can create a replication slot, take a snapshot, restore the snapshot to a new instance, advance the LSN and replicate from there - boom, you have a logical replica with all the data. Then you upgrade your logical replica.

This is a great recipe but needs small but important correction. We need to be careful with plugging pg_upgrade in this physical-to-logical replica conversion process: if we first start logical replication and then running pg_upgrade, there are risks of corruption – see discussion in pgsql-hackers https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/20230217075433.u5.... To solve this, we need first to create logical slot, advance the new cluster to slot's LSN position (not starting logical replication yet), then run pg_upgrade, and only then logical replication – when the new cluster is already running on new PG version.

This is exactly how we (Postgres.ai) recently have helped GitLab upgrade multiple multi-TiB clusters under heavy load without any downtime at all (also involving PgBouncer's PAUSE/RESUME) - there will be a talk by Alexander Sosna presented later this week https://www.postgresql.eu/events/pgconfeu2023/schedule/sessi... and there are some plans to publish details about it.

There's a difference between deliberate targeting of civilians and collateral damage. The latter is acceptable, as the alternative is literally impossible.
Good for them? Why should a good infotainment system cost $25B/year in perpetuity? Doesn't anyone solve problems anymore?
LXD is available via ordinary .deb's as of the Debian 12 release earlier this year, FYI.
> Without laws to stop them, it’s reasonable to expect that popular library apps like Hoopla and Libby are hiding similar behavior behind legal smokescreens.

Whenever I check out (non-audio) books on Libby/OverDrive, it always just sends the books to my Kindle Cloud Library. This presumably means OverDrive doesn't know what passages I actually read, or for how long. And the mere fact of my borrowing seems to be protected by state law (many states, including CA, protect this information). [1]

It would be interesting to know how these surveillance tactics run up against these privacy laws.

Tell HN: OpenAI is offering Premium Subscriptions again
Based on a n=1 sample anecdata: When they froze premium subscriptions, I joined their waitlist to be informed when they would offer them again, and yesterday I was presented with a message inviting me to subscribe to plus.

Not sure if they've opened the floodgates or if they're doing a phased opening, but I have also not seen any articles covering this development, so leaving it out here for your info. Has anybody else experienced this?
Consider it thoughtfully left empty for your own interpretation, like a color by numbers puzzle. Maybe people who are tested via standardized means and found wanting.

Or maybe it's people who don't really believe in society and government at large, or people who believe in vigilante justice over rule of law. Perhaps people with fixations on self-armament but who never actually use it to fight tyranny when it comes calling. Or people who fixate on wedge issues like restricting access to lifesaving natal operations, or whether the federal or state governments should interfere in who can play in what sports league instead of deferring to the people in charge of the league.

Or maybe not those people. Maybe other people. Who knows! Not I.

The key point was that areas that test poorly for education correlate with low trust of authority.
Big bang theory was also recorded in front of a live audience..

In this summary it shows Al Jazeera as left center bias in general, but with heavily biased reporting against Israel. For this specific topic it is clearly one of the most biased news sources that are still given credibility.
Are you suggesting that we should never regret anything, then?

Like I said, everything must be in moderation. Regrets are effective for reminding us not to repeat the same mistakes. But of course if we regret our mistakes 24/7, it will only depress us and discourage us to do anything.
Has it? From what I’ve heard about the textbook industry, I feel like it hasn’t.
Was it only a twmporary fix? Then no, nothing is more permanent than a twmporary fix.
My Mazda disables the touchscreen once the vehicle is going more than ~10 km/h, yet CarPlay is very usable. It's got a physical knob that rotates through the various on-screen widgets in a fairly predictable order. Most of the apps I use are also good about keeping their CarPlay interfaces very consistent across time, so it's possible to learn the "tab" order by muscle memory and not really need to look at the screen.

There's also physical buttons for app switching, for volume controls, voice input, accepting or hanging up calls, and for next/previous music tracks, and in practice those cover enough everyday functionality that I rarely even need to use the selector knob. I feel like I get the benefit of CarPlay (seamless access to my phone's capabilities) with all the niceties of tactile controls too.
One was related to smart cupboards (fitted with weight sensors and cameras) that can automatically account for every item you put in or withdraw from it.

Another one was related to furniture modifications so that it efficiently utilizes space according to the need (similar to many modular furniture concepts). One of these ideas, I have documented here: https://avikalpg.github.io/blog/articles/20210923_proj_dual_...

Simpler ideas were the same as the original post: an app for everyone in the house to keep track of inventory or chores.
I was thinking more about chores because someone might have done a chore I am unaware of - so I might either make duplicate efforts or procrastinate. But this is not a great idea because 70% of this can be solved using a WhatsApp group and asking everyone to update it whenever they pick or complete any chore.
A lot of folks just temporarily disable their pi-hole. This happens rarely depending on where you hang out on the internet, I can't remember the last time it happened to me

Well 20 Yrs ago, Microsoft faced an Anti trust lawsuit in Federal court for shipping a browser, now Apple and Google both ship with a ton of software not just browser and restrict users from installing the software of their choice, yet Apple seems to be not facing any backlash. While Google lost for the same cause. This seems not only arbitrary but also shows the weakness in US court system and Arbitration by a Jury. The anti trust lawsuit against Microsoft could be a precedent for a case against both Apple and Google.
There's no obligation to buy a new one. Keep your existing cars on the road or replace them with other low mileage used ones.

I bet repair costs on used are less than depreciatiom + finance costs on new, and there's pleasure to be gained from a retro aesthetic.
> I know it's not at all obvious how this topic can be within that spirit

It seems to me such important happenings demand curiosity from rational adults, and I'm struggling to understand why an otherwise-rational community would suddenly disagree... Anyway I appreciate your efforts in this thread and everywhere else on the site.

Also, it's amusing to me that, more often than not, discussions about this topic are derailed by discussion about whether it's possible to discuss the original topic in good faith, rather than any sort of blatant ignorance about the actual topic. It's very meta.
Seems like that's happening with mixture of experts already. Not sure you are presenting an inherent LLM barrier.
How very human-centric of you ;)

It’s not hard to imagine a program of ever increasing complexity, highly redundant, error-prone, yet also stochastically, statically, increasingly effective.

The primary pushback from this would be our pathetically tiny short term memory. Blow that limitation up and complexity that seems incomprehensible to us becomes perfectly reasonable.
HVAC controls: on my truck I reach down by feel and turn a knob. Can’t do that anymore n the Tesla.

Wiper controls: yeah I can trigger them with the button on the end of the stalk. But I gotta turn my head to adjust the speed after pushing said button.

Head/fog lights.

That’s just thinking about it for a few seconds.
Would you describe the entirety of the US as “densely populated”?
that depends on the speed of the leak and the amount of ammonia involved; as i said, ammonia-absorption refrigerators are in common use today, including in homes, and they do not have a high death toll (though large industrial ammonia-absorption systems do regularly kill people, about 20 people a year in all of prc, for example: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9318737/)

osha's idlh level is 300 ppm; in a typical small house of 200m³ that's 60 liters of gas, 2.5 moles at stp, about 40 grams of ammonia; this is a small enough amount of ammonia that you could definitely get it from a home refrigerator (https://www.dometic.com/assets/18/22/operating%20manual_5182... says it contains 226g of ammonia, which would be 1600 ppm in that houseful of air) but only if it's released quickly. lc50 for a one-hour exposure is in the 4000 to 11000 range https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/idlh/7664417.html which is several times more than the entire refrigerator's worth if diluted in a houseful of air

the odor threshold is about 5 ppm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonia#Safety so it's unlikely to go unnoticed
The scariest part of the article (for me) was about information being packaged and sold. In that regard, the article was not about Amazon, since it is not alleged to have done this. Of course, Amazon is huge enough that they can profitably use reading history to sell you other things. But it would be worse if they were also selling off your private reading history.
Exactly. What if the singularity happens and everything is still boring?

I imagine our world would be mostly incomprehensible to someone from the 1400s (the lack of centricity of religion, assuming some infernal force is keeping airplanes aloft, etc., to say nothing of the internet). If superintelligent AI really does take over the world, I image the most uncomfortable part of it all will be explaining to future generations how we were just too lazy to stop it.

Assuming climate change doesn't get us first.
The above poster was pedantic, rude and certainly not writing for your benefit... I wouldn't waste time soliciting their opinion on anything.
I understand the argument and read it often on HN. I just want to mention that you can have muscle memory on touchscreen too. If you use a smartphone you probably can write without looking.

It’s a bit the same with the car touchscreen. I don’t notice big differences when I aim for a virtual button on the car touchscreen and a physical button.

For seldomly used buttons, I give a brief quick look both for virtual and physical.
I well written comment, by an obvious true student of comedy. +1
> But there is a trade off. At a societal level, we can be rich, or we can be communitarian. I don’t think we can be both – at least, not for long.

This in particularly strikes me as something I’d expect from a certain Jordan Balthazar Peterson: he often frames things like wealth inequality or patriarchy as immovable hierarchies; pitting left and right, rich and poor, gay and straight, as dichotomies that cannot coexist for long without one (guess which one) eventually becoming the dominant.

It’s a very defeatist attitude, and suggests “but what can be done?” and rarely offers solutions beyond sticking with the status quo. I think it’s absolutely possible to be rich and communitarian.
Wrote something similar, but while you can mix generated and hand-written code, the actual python code for that is moved out of the file.

> I'm hoping we get to realizing that a computer isn't a human regardless of the eloquence of its "speech" or whatever words we use to describe what it does, but I guess we'll see

My anecdotal experience with how people treat Alexa devices does not inspire confidence in me with regards to this. I can't even convince my wife not to gender it when referring to it.
>because fascism is a scam category, alongside advanced-fee fraud, refund scammers, and fake tech support companies.

Facism or not, those heavy ad campaigns come from the most extreme ends of the spectrum. And the new age will adapt to new tech faster. It's no suprise this is the result of it all, especially when platforms can claim article 243 to prevent any litigation against them.

>For the same reasons as above, the creator of Minecraft went from "I don't want gender in my game" to "all women are evil", because he isolated himself in an LA mansion and read nothing but Twitter.

ehh, who knows. 10 years is a long time and the first statement was made some 8 years prior to the 2nd. Could be bad experiences IRL or on the net, or both. Could be wounds much much older than Minecraft coming up.

>You are perfectly in the right to block ads. I pay for YouTube Premium but I won't yell at anyone who uses uBlock Origin.

Google has plenty of money and adtech as a concept is the antithesis to how I operate (let's COMPLETELY TANK the performance of your web browsing because people will pay us to be hostile t the user. And then tank it more so we have proof that the user actually got successfully harassed).

But from a purely logical perspective, I don't like the argument of "google has bad ads, therefore I block all ads". That just doesn't track well.
I don't get that either. The rest of Tesla's UX is so good, I don't know how they botched this. Is it a cost optimization? Any PMs over there care of chime in?

edit: Locking the glovebox is a great use case, but not the typical one.
I don't remember where but I once read a blog article about non-gamers who are introduced to Skyrim for the first time and recall one player accidentally killing an important NPC and not having any saves to reload, and felt strong emotions over virtually losing someone they knew.

I think some players of games (or watchers of movies, etc.) are more sensitive to that kind of "pain" than others. Sometimes I think they might feel as exhausted as their character after pushing through an entire fighting tournament with their avatar, as they were also kicked around in a sense.

I don't disagree with anything you said, but I'm afraid you badly misunderstood the comment you replied to.

They aren't complaining about closed captions failing to translate foreign speech.

They're complaining about the specific instance where the show/movie has English subtitles for that foreign speech already built in and showing on the screen, and when the closed captions show "[speaking Japanese]" it overlays the translation that the filmmakers intended the viewers to receive, preventing them from experiencing the filmmaker's artistic choice.
They've stopped making Kindles with modems. Latest gen ones are WiFi only. Of course, the hardware might still be in there, just not available for book purchasing.
Uh… cars don’t really change from year to year. Pretending that an acceptable infotainment system is hard to do, just isn’t so.

The real problem is dumbass “features” (my MDX likes to show an animation of the keyboard typing out all the words a half second a letter, whenever you click autocomplete… for some reason) The real issue is that the infotainment systems are underpowered, because they’re considered an afterthought.
