With a well managed planned agriculture and distribution system why should we fight over produce? There would be enough produce for us both. Our current system selects for how best to maximize profit from produce sales, not how best to serve the most people the most nutritious produce.

Meh, at least for really popular models there's a host of aftermarket spare parts, and in a pinch you can fabricate or repair most of it yourself - the vehicles were designed to accomodate DIY and "in the field" repairs, as there simply was no such thing as a nationwide network of brand-contracted repair shops.
All this needless difficulty when you can just do the right thing and use oogabooga.

Jony defined the Apple aesthetic for a generation, and got them to this point. But his relentlessness reached a level of obsession with purity of design. He lost touch with reality when Steve was no longer around to reign him in.

Nearly every Apple product has become objectively better since his departure. The complaints actually got addressed. Customers are being treated as valid sources of input to the product. Hard to see an issue here.
Your assumption is there is no electricity at home or work, only at charging stations far away.

But, we have electricity anywhere we have a building. In fact, thats the first utility thats hooked up before anything is even built. Now, we can think of charging an EV anytime it is parked. Residential garages have a 240V dryer outlet (or in the laundry room next to garage). That outlet can be used or an additional outlet can be added.

Cars are parked 22 - 23 hours a day. They can charge anytime they are parked.
EU should prepare for war by end of decade, German Defence Minister warns

And in reality, Adobe actually lost progress on XD and Figma has come out with an incredible amount of features this year.

Now Figma has an extra billion for development and Adobe has to start back up the thing they couldn't catch Figma with in the first place.

It was pretty much a win/win for Figma regardless of outcome. Though this outcome is a win for Figma and it's users.
I already have to trust that Apple adheres to its promise not to abuse their privileged position to break E2E encryption. Now I have to trust Apple to continually verify that Beeper is not breaking E2E encryption? I don't know what the folks at Beeper are smoking, but it appears that a lot of very smart people are smoking it too.

Yes, it's kinda comical isn't it.

It's illegal to use your cellphone while driving in many areas --- so they built a cellphone UI into the car --- which is every bit as distracting and dangerous to use while driving.

Can anybody understand how it detects cheating (throwing your phone off a tall building)?

Assuming it's just using the accelerometer to detect freefall, is there any way to distinguish ascent and descent? GPS is probably too inaccurate and too high-latency to assist here.

Perhaps it can tell the difference between reaching terminal velocity and crashing into the ground, and it penalizes the former?
I'm still not understanding the point though, 6 hours later.

Why can't it just be a tool for assistance that is not legally binding?

Also throughout this year I have thought about those problems, and to me it's always been weird how people have so much problems with "hallucinations". And I've thought about exact similar ChatBot as Chevy used and how awesome it would be to be able to use something like that myself to find products.

To me the expectations of this having to be legally binding, etc just seem misguided.

AI tools increase my productivity so much, and also people often make up things, lie, but it's even more difficult to tell when they do that, as everyone's different and everyone lies differently.
> Microwave ovens should have a knob-button combo that I can work in 0.5 seconds without looking or reading the manual

Alas, a knob is no guarantee of a decent user interface. I have a higher-end GE microwave with a knob that is completely inert until you know what you're supposed to press first. Granted, "cook time" is not an entirely unintuitive prerequisite, but why the designers didn't at least consider that this would be the 95% use case and simply default the knob to that function is beyond me.
> She was "elected" by the EP in a vote in which she was the only allowed candidate

That’s an approval, yes. Had she been rejected a new candidate would be presented, and so on. I agree it could have been better to have N candidates presented to begin with, but this procedure is how many top political positions are appointed.
This may be a dumb question but how do you update an LLM with new information after its knowledge cutoff?

Please, help me with this calculation, since I clearly lack the proper exchange rate -- how many gallons of excess gasoline or votes for the wrong 'local' (rather than national or state) politician equals being nice to people for a lifetime or helping those less fortunate?

I get that you're trying to say that voting for the wrong local politician might lead to more 'less fortunates' -- principled individuals could argue this one either way, for either side of the political divide, about who the 'wrong' politicians are -- but how exactly does burning excess gasoline, and at what exchange rate? Perhaps we are talking about the impact on future generations? Is there a discount rate on future lives over present? Have you perhaps gotten rid of your car long ago and just walk everywhere selflessly slashing tires while trying your best to barely convert oxygen to carbon dioxide?

At least I suppose the idea that being nice to the people around you is less important than voting for the right colors or driving the right cars or holding the right ideological opinions certainly does explain a whole lot about the current social climate. It is a shame people seem to have such a hard time with the idea of doing all of the above, and just seem to pick one or the other.
I think, the GCCRS project takes the rustc implementation as reference, and targets 100% compatibility with them as a fundamental goal and requirement. There is no schism involved.

> accept a little degradation in favor of progress

What does this mean?

Progress means making it better, degradation means making it worse. It can't be both.

Too many industries seem to confuse "new" with "better".

New just means it is a recent change, it might be better or much worse.

New does not make something better. Better is better. Sometimes what is better is how it used to be.
Not really disagreeing with your insight, but on the flip side of this, I bought the stock precisely because of the ticker name (when it changed from VTIQ to NKLA) and sold it shortly thereafter for a significant upside.
Back in the 70s I had a friend like that in middle school. Recently I looked up his address on Google streets and sure enough, there is a 1930s vintage Ford Model A in his driveway.
I’ve looked extensively at the documentation for gke autopilot (a system I use extensively) and haven’t found any documentation on how they orchestrate those clusters under the covers.

I’ve always assumed it was a plugin to borg, not a different fleet orchestrator. Not to be overtly needy, but do you have a link to docs that contradicts that?
At last, touch screens are terrible for most things while you are driving. Misclicks and finger slide make for a frustrating experience in my opinion.
Even just having some physical buttons under or alongside the screen would be great. A large physical ok/yes/go button and a cancel/no/escape button that I can hit without concentrating would solve 3/4 of the interaction problems.
But barely anyone gets to write C++11. You write C++11 for MSVC2022, or C++11 that compiles with LLVM 15+ and GCC 8+, and maybe MSVC if you invest a couple hours of effort into it. That's really not that different from saying you require a minimum compiler version of Rust 1.74.0.
long story short, for a machine that has about 5+ years of shelf life it isn't a bad value prop to go and buy the absolute top end, especially if you expect some roi out of it, just be aware that if you don't want the top end for llm the m2 currently provides more value because m2 has memory bandwith than the m3 at the middle range.

memory bandwidth is the key to model speed, and memory size is what enable you to use larger model (quantization let you push thing further, to a point) so one thing to note is that on the M3 pro/max only the top end model gets the full bandwidh, while the m1/m2 pro enjoy full bandwidth from a smaller memory size. this may be important if you value speed above model size or vice versa. M2 Pro, M2 Max get approximately 200 GB/s and 400 GB/s, but things are more complicated for m3: M3 Pro gets 150mb/s, and M3 max gets 300mb/s at 36gb and 400mb/s at 48gb

few more things to note:

it's absolutely fine to go and play around with llm but even with a llm monster machine there's nothing wrong in starting with smaller models and learning how to squeeze the maximum amount of work out of them. the learning do transfer to larger model. this may or may not be important if at some point you'll want to monetize or deploy to production what you learned. while the mac itself is a good investment for personal use, once you move to servers, cost skyrockets with model size, because of supply constraints on 40gb+ memory gpus. if you are dependent to a 70b parameter model, you'll have a hard time to make a cost effective solution. if it's stricly to playing around, you can disregard this concern

even if you're playing around, a 70b is going to run at 7 tokens / second, which is fine for a local chat, but if you are writing a program and need inference in bulk, it's fairly slow.

another thing of note is that while the field is still undecided on which size and architecture is good enough, the moltitude of small fish experimenting with tuning and mix of instructions are largely experimenting on smaller models. currently my favorite is openhermes-2.5-mistral-7b-16k, but it's not an indication that mistrals are strictly better than llama2, more an indication that experimenting with 7b is more cost effective for third parties without access to gpu than experimenting with 13b, and so you'll find 13b model kinda stagnating, with many of them trained in a period where people didn't really know the best parameters for finetuning and are so to say a bit behind the curve. a few tuners are working at 70b models, but these seems to be pivoting to mixtrals and the likes, which will cause a similar stagnation on the top end, that is, until llama3 or the next mixtral size drops, then, who knows
May he be planning to escape the riots of most of the population who lost their job to AI agents and robots (in the following 5 to 10 years)?
> That RFC is accepted, and this is starting to happen.

I don't think there's ever been a more concise summary of Rust.
The U.S. has spent USD 0.5TN in interests only in 2022, if you think that 75bn is too much better start checking the budget because you have no idea where money is spent and at what level. Aid to Ukraine is just an investment to “not” have the o go boots-on-ground if the baby fürer putin decides to invade a NATO member.

EDIT: Also forgot to mention that we haven’t just cut a $75bn check for UA. We have given systems that were manufactured in the US meaning that the money just stayed here.

Data Point: I am currently having issues getting Mixtral Q4_K_M running in LMStudio on my 32gb M1 Max. I'm trying Q3 to see if it fits.

I can have it run in on 'cpu' which is very slow, but offloading to the GPU runs out of memory.
By that logic, HN should be a current affairs site, dedicated to talking about the most important things in the world—of which this war certainly is one.

But that's not the kind of site HN is or ever has been, so the question becomes: does a site like HN, with its particular mandate, have a right to exist? or should it be replaced by something more important? This question has been around for a good 15 years. Our answer is: we're trying to have a specific kind of website, and it's ok for it to exist, even though it's not the most important.

People with strong views (perhaps entirely justified) on a topic don't like it when that topic doesn't get as much coverage as they think it should. Often they think it should dominate HN's front page completely and anything less than that is a deplorable failure on the part of the admins, who obviously lack any morals or humanity. If I answer that yes, this topic is important, deserves discussion, and has indeed been receiving it—more than any other topic of its kind—well, one quickly learns that such demands can never be satisfied, short of replacing the site with an entirely different one, and even then probably not. Moreover such demands come in from multiple angles about multiple topics and the people making the demands not only disagree amongst themselves but are even at war with each other.

This dynamic has been playing out for many years, and if we had done as you say, HN would have ceased to exist a long time ago. I think it's a good thing that HN still exists, even though many of the things on its front page are trivial and of so much less importance than the suffering, violence, and cruelty going on in the world that it's grotesque to even compare them.
If ever ‘should’ meant ‘I wish’, it would be here.
I think this is a commonly shared miscalculation. In the grand scheme of things, relatively little is required to destabilize society.

Technology advancements raise the danger potential almost exponentially when compared to late history, or even recent history.

It doesn't take much to tip the course of history. The bronze age didn't require the same type of risk assessment that we have the burden of managing.
Ive was head of Design not Product or Hardware Engineering.

So most of the complaints you're alluding to e.g. ports, touch bar etc had little to do with the design team.

It's largely been the rise of people like John Ternus that have improved their hardware.
I've been unable to get Mixtral (mixtral-8x7b-instruct-v0.1.Q6_K.gguf) to run well on my M2 MacBook Air (24 GB). It's super slow and eventually freezes after about 12-15 tokens of a response. You should look at M3 options with more RAM -- 64 GB or even the weird-sounding 96 GB might be a good choice.
> Just like everything else I remember at the time most of HN were singing songs and praise about the Tesla infotainment interface and everything touch screen. People who preferred buttons were the minorities.

My recollection is different. I recall there was always a significant sentiment against eliminating buttons and knobs in favor of a centralized touch screen.

How much money did he manage to milk from the company? With that light four year prison sentence where he makes nothing, he'll probably still end up making more than us during his work + prison sentence if the penalty phase is just as light.
And that's the risk/bargain those employees accepted when they took the job at Figma rather than some public company with predictable equity comp.

Look, it sucks, I get that. I was an employee at a successful startup that did end up going public and made me a bunch of money. But I also worked at three other startups that didn't go anywhere and my options/stock ended up being worthless. I also worked at a "boring" public company with equity comp that amounted to a pretty small (but helpful!) quarterly bonus.

I accepted each of those jobs knowing what I was getting into, and knowing that I probably wouldn't see any kind of big payday (the one where I did was life-changing, but if that hadn't happened, I'd still be fine, financially). That's the nature of the beast. It's disappointing when it doesn't work out, but don't play the "some of them have kids" card: people need to plan their finances based on normal, expected outcomes, not on the moonshot.

And regardless, Figma still seems like a great company, with great products. Employees will still likely do really well, whether through a different acquisition or by going public. They'll just have to wait longer.
They created a specification for Ferrocene because Rust does not yet have a language standard:

https://spec.ferrocene.dev/

>> But does the language need a standard?

Yes, Rust needs a standard.

>> And if so, then for what purpose?

For the same purpose that all standards have--to formally define it in writing.

Ferrocene's web site (https://ferrous-systems.com/ferrocene/) shows that it meets the ISO 26262 standard (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_26262).

Why does ISO 26262 matter? What purpose does it serve? Couldn't a vehicle manufacturer just say "our vehicles are safe"?

Which would you trust more: a vehicle that is verified to meet ISO 26262 standards, or a vehicle whose manufacturer tells you "it's safe" without formally defining what "safe" means?

I stated it above, but I will re-state it here: Without a language standard, there are many organizations and industries that will not use Rust. Not because Rust is not a fantastic tool for the job, but because laws, regulations, etc. require standardization and qualification of components.

This means that I can use a qualified C compiler and toolchain to write safety-critical code, but I can't use Rust despite the fact that Rust is a better choice and will help to prevent problems. Standards do matter. Rust needs a language standard.
Why should you do this - sounds like an antipattern to me
<< We did have plans to address the "without hoping to various websites" problem, as we identified that as problematic for users very early on. The solution was relatively simple, but required more money to build out. We simply ran out of funds before we could get there. >>

What were your plans to solve this problem?
Yeah it's crazy how my process for evaluating expensive purchases (cars, appliances) has changed from looking for what I do want to mostly focusing on what I don't want. So many products have gotten bogged down with anti-features like touch screens, AI nonsense, or shitty phone apps.

When I was car shopping a couple years ago I immediately disqualified at least half of the ones I looked at because of garbage features. Now I'm looking for a new fridge and that market hasn't gotten as bad yet, but it's already bad. I have no interest in a fridge that has a camera and a wifi connection, or needs an app to change the temperature.

I’m not saying that gccrs contributors should stop. If they want to invest their time & energy into it kudos. I happen to think the costs outweighs the benefits but you’re right that I can just ignore it to no ill effect right now. Where I would caution that though is when the Rust project starts needing to making accommodations to help gccrs (which is something described in the article). It’s possible that some accommodations help Rust anyway / there’s no harm, but it’s also useful to be mindful that more & more of these accommodations can start to have a negative cost over time & thus impact Rust as a whole & these costs are obnoxiously hard to quantify and because people like to get along there’s a general preference to be more accommodating. That’s the real danger that gccrs poses and the intangible benefits that you lay out are likely not that significant in the long term compared with the cost to build gccrs / modify Rust to accommodate gccrs. Of course, we’re just arguing over opinions since it’s so hard to quantify any of this.
I understand, thank you for clarifying :)
