> The house itself is a depreciating asset just like a car.

You can't compare a house and a car in terms of value.

Both require maintenance and both can decay to unusable if left abandoned too long. That much is similar.

But maintaining a car beyond the point where parts are available becomes very expensive since everything becomes a custom job. There are few 100 year old cars running around and those which exist are a labor of love, but from an economic perspective makes no sense. It would be far cheaper to just buy a new car.

This never happens with housing. You can maintain a house indefinitely, through many generations and it never becomes cheaper to buy a whole new house. (Barring some disaster to it, natural or human-induced, of course.)

So a house can't become a depreciating asset. A roof over your head will always have value (that's why this whole discussion exists, everyone agrees there is value to a home) and since that house will last essentially forever, it can't possibly become worthless.
Wikipedia is not funded by ads for example. Lots of other sites neither.

So I would say, not the whole internet would go away without ads, but probably the worst parts and what remains is worth visiting.
You're right.

We could have such a format if browser and os vendors were interested in supporting such a use case. Unfortunately, they aren't.

On the browser side, supporting all-in-one html files can be as simple a reading a single multipart-encoded page. Heck, if they support automatically serializing all external resources as datauris when saving pages, then most browsers will be able to open them without any modification.

On the OS side, operating systems can treat html files as first class citizens; execute them in an offline sandbox (most operating systems have embedded webviews), then extract icon, title, description and other metadata to present to the user. An icon the consists of a blank page with a small browser icon in the corner doesn't tell me anything about what the page is about. This needs to change.

In short, html can be easily made nicer to deal with locally thanks to all the parts already being in place. The problem is that no one (tech giants, os vendors) are interested in doing this.
Don't you make a hollandaise sauce with a double boiler type approach? So shouldn't that really make the heat source even less relevant? As you lift the inner bowl to adjust cooking temp?

Oh, I don't mean reusable containers for individual items, sorry if it wasn't clear. This autonomous vehicle would drop off smaller (than itself) locked reusable metal containers, with all small packages inside.

Instead of this vehicle having to deal with unloading dozens of small packages at each destination. Just a way to optimize delivery further.

> sound like a miserable thing to unleash on the streets, even at night

It's about finding the right balance. At night streets are mostly empty (e.g. 2-5am). What we have now is not optimized at all - hundreds of Amazon trucks moving through the city during the day.

This article is not necessarily about academia, I think it’s actually more geared towards “industry” AI researchers.
As someone with autism, I lack empathy for (most) fake situations. Once I realized therapists and their ilk were lying about sad stories, I stopped having empathy for those sad situations.

Ditto for fake news stories.

Only mentally unfit people can pass a therapist's tests and be empathetic for people they know do not exist.

But suggesting everyone operate on a substantially less privacy due to your specific desires for convenience seems... selfish. Not to mention, immoral - don't we all have a fundamental right to privacy?
That’s a cultural and not a technical problem. My experience is limited, but it is that, when motorists are idiots, bikers are idiots too. Yes, sure, less chance of getting killed by a bicycle (though serious risk of injury if you’re and old-enough pedestrian).

My point is: if you live in a place where a lot of drivers behave like selfish idiots to other drivers, bikers, and pedestrians, then a lot of bikers will behave like selfish idiots too.

I don’t have a solution, but I just wanted to add the data point because I hate most bikers with about the same intensity I hate most drivers. As a pedestrian, both groups ignore me and put me at risk every single f-word day.
> Or just leave academia

The problem is that AI is weird not because of academia. In fact, right not it has been captured by industry and it is why we've severely slowed down in progress[0]. Most people in the space now are working in industry labs. Frankly, you can do more, you get paid A LOT more (2-3x) and you have less bureaucratic bullshit. But I think you're keenly aware of this industry capture as you're mentioning aspects of it.

I don't want there to be any confusion: I think it is good that industry and academia work together. There's lots of benefits. But we also need to recognize that these two typically have very different goals, work at different TRLs, and have have very different expectations on the time where the work will be seen as impactful. Traditionally, academia has generally been the dominating player in the high risk high reward/low level research space (yes, much more goes on too, but of people that do this type of research, you think academia) while industry research typically is focused on higher TRL because they're focused on selling things in the near future. There's just a danger when you work too closely to industry: you can't have any wizards if you don't have any noobs.

But I'm not sure it is just ML that's been going this way. There's a lot of sentiment on this website where people dismiss research papers (outside ML) that show up here due to them not being viable products. I mean... yeah... they're research. We can agree that the value is oversold, but often that's by the publisher (read university) and not the paper (not sure if I can say the same for ML). But it's a kinda environmental problem because if everything has to be a product you can't be honest about what you did and if discussing the limits and where you need to still improve upon to actually get an product down the line gets you rejected, well... you just don't talk about that.

This is all the "RL hacking" or better known as Goodhart's Law. I've been saying we're living in Goodhart's Hell because it seems, especially in the last 5-10 years, we've recognized that a lot of metric hacking is going on and decided that the best course of action is not to resolve the issues, but lean into it. We've seen the house of cards that this has created. Crypto is a good example. Shame is if we kill AI because there is a lot of real value there. But if you're a chocolate factory and promise people that eating your chocolate will give them superpowers, it doesn't matter how life changingly delicious that chocolate is, people will be upset and feel cheated. Problem is, the whole chocolate industry is doing this right now and we're not Willy fucking Wonka.

[0] More progress looks like it is being made and there is a lot of progress that should have been made but wasn't but these types of nuances are a bit harder to discuss without intimate knowledge of the field. I'll say that diffusion should have happened much sooner but industry capture had everyone looking at GANs. Anything not, got extra scrutiny and became easy to reject due to not having state of the art results (are we doing research or are we building products?)
Is it even an actual status symbol, or is that just meme? FWIW, personally I've never met anyone who cared one way or another. Just heard people online say that others do. Similarly I can’t find anyone claiming they themselves see it as a status symbol.
Firefox used to have traction, enough to be a threat to Internet Explorer.

People won't switch when you get a degraded experience of Google services on Firefox.

Similarly, if Firefox was as easy to embed as Chrome we'd probably see a lot more alternatives based on it.
Many of the Israelis commenting here are not supportive of the West Bank settlers including myself.

Its BS that Google makes these settings per browser and not per account, so you have to make these changes on each computer\phone you use. Anyone know if these settings apply to a private browser session.
Depends on the size of the tree branch.

I love these types of comments on HN: So vague as to be meaningless.

As a thought experiment: Let's put you in a driving simulator, and ask you re-drive the same scenario 10,000 times. In each scenario, we randomly change the size of the branch -- both weight and volume. Repeat the same test with 100 other drivers. Repeat the same test with 100 different AV algorithms. I am sure each driver would have their own definition of "branch too large to safely drive over".

What concrete point are you trying to make?

being hit from behind at low speeds was a pretty common thing in early testing in Mountain View, when they were using the Google name on cars.

Really? Also, this editorialised phrase "pretty common thing in early testing". Again, to me, so vague as to be meaningless. Common? From what perspective. Early testing? From what perspective.
This comparison is completely nonsensical.

Getting Started with Mixtral 8X7B
I believe it can be pretty good. I go to goodreads to track new releases and yeah, I wouldn’t mind ads if it were non invasive. Everyone that goes to goodreads is interested in reading and books in some form, so why not show ads about books here, instead of when I’m looking for music gear?
> Is it laziness that stops publishers from shipping targeted ads from their own servers, inlined in the content in a way that cannot be distinguished from article images or text?

No, it's about fraud. With your proposal advertisers have to trust publishers really will show their ads, and unless the publisher is very large and has a reputation to protect advertisers pretty reasonably don't trust them.

(We do actually see what you're proposing, with YouTube, Facebook, Google Search, etc)

You could do this by having the ad networks serve the pages, reverse proxying to the publisher and inserting the ads. And then the publisher page can run its verification scripts, instead of the ads running verification scripts. But that gives us a web served by Google, Criteo, AppNexus, etc. which would be pretty sad.
First, [citation needed] w.r.r tplink and other consumer grade routers 'getting off easy'

> Also, soon-ish I'm going to add the ability for users to follow specific authors, so you can get notified when they publish new papers.

If you could do it, this would be a dream. My original intent was to be able to look through only papers citing a popular one and filtering the results for ones having at least one author with a set minimum h-index. Using Google Scholar data required using SerpAPI, which has some annoying limitations.

The core goal is obviously just not to miss out on a paper that will very likely be influential while not having to comb through the mountain of irrelevant papers.

What's funny is that Microsoft Academic was the best suited, but was retired in 2021.
4x A710 and 4x A510 cores. There's been Axx5 variants of both since but still a fairly compelling offering. $200 is a lot more than an rpi5, but a much more modern set of cores and it's a full computer (screen, keyboard, case).
I love these kind of mega projects! Neat to see it in action.
Honestly, is there a big difference anymore? The vast majority of papers I read are either by industry directly or have industry as a partner (as an author, not just acknowledgements). There are of course some, and even plenty of examples, but it does seem industry partners is almost necessary these days. I'm not convinced that level of interaction is healthy, for either parties.
That website only covers a small subset of free licenses though.

This is exactly why the stated goal of Tesla is to accelerate the advent of electric cars - in other words, make it happen a lot sooner than it otherwise would have.

I personally think making internet available to people who don't have it is far more important than people who do have home internet complaining about their view of the stars during their camping trip.

China and others have done far, far more to contribute to space junk than SpaceX has.
Depends. In the US most townships won't care. Cities or HOAs vary from liberal to quite strict.

Much of this could be true, but I’ve seen R1-tenure-caliber PhDs come on staff at top industry labs for a lot more than the pay you’re suggesting.
Unless you're using PKC, you're completely handing off your identity to someone. The question is what's your threat model for having your identity taken from you. For me I've decided I trust DNS, because if it fails we probably have bigger problems. So email on a custom domain is as strong an identity as I require. I see a Gmail account as good enough for most people, but not for me personally.

Ideally I would like to see people hosting their own IdP servers from their laptops at home over something like ngrok but e2ee, but we have a ways to go for that.

Aside: given your background at Okta and ngrok, we have a lot of overlapping work. I'm curious of your thoughts on my LastLogin.io project?

Think about what you're saying for a second.

You're advocating for the same government that has had the ability to regulate nursing homes for the last few decades, and failed to do so, instead be given full control over nursing homes?

You're suggesting that the politicians who had the power to fix the problem and did nothing instead be given more power?

That's such a self-obviously bad and self-contradictory idea.
I will agree they're undesirable side effects, but I bet they'll get some takers.
Taking a look at a paper I have that went up this month and another that went up before the dec cutoff on ar5iv, they look 90% OK! Figures with side-by-side plots and algorithm environments are the common culprit for being broken though. Particularly in figures, it seems like the width argument isn't being interpreted correctly.

Interestingly this review paper seems to have their side by side figures intact (e.g. fig 2 fig 4). Maybe it's because he used a subfigure like environment (judging by the subcaptions)?

This is a genius reply. I 100% agree intellectually as well as from personal experience. I have a British co-worker. When he goes home for the holidays, he is always terrified of how fast people drive on two lane countryside roads with sharp turns and limited visibility. Another Swiss co-worker said the same about snowy local roads in the mountains. Locals drive very fast. As soon as AV is trained on those roads, it will drive much slower, and probably safer.

But it is (was?) essentially a projector that used lasers and a small amount of ultrasound-generated fog (which they really downplayed in favour of a lot of talk about focused air currents) to project a 2D image in space. They termed it a mid-air hologram.

Don’t know about the UK specifically, but familiar with an analogue process in a EU country and it’s almost always a life sentence.

Doctors will almost never sign off, in part because of fear they were wrong (there were a handful of cases where the person ended up becoming violent in public, lots of public outrage despite it being statistically insignificant across all the released). Result is also that 60% is deemed “untreatable” within the first few months and thus will never even be considered for release.

Issue is also that it’s kind of a feedback loop, no perspective on a possible relief doesn’t help mental issues.

Also doesn’t help that it’s not considered a punishment or substitute thereof so people first have to serve their time in prison (which often fucks them up even more) before they get transferred to a custody mental hospital to fulfill that part of their sentence.

It’s so bad that defense lawyers try to avoid it all cost because then at least they can be treated after prison by someone who’s main priority is to treat or manage the mental issue.

Rack mount servers have hidden costs. Sitting next to what sounds like a swarm of drones for one. Enterprise pricing for replacement parts is the other.

Maybe the only thing more dangerous than holding someone in a "hospital" as a sentence is to allow an employer to decide if they should be allowed out or sent back to serve their life sentence. It's just as bad as H-1 visas, or allowing illegal aliens into the USA with babies who are not given US citizenship. (I am not taking sides on whether we should give US citizenship to those people, deport them, or what. I am pointing out that making someone the slave of their employer is bad for society.)

Broadcast static-media advertisements generally aren't engaged in a cat-and-mouse game where they increase surveillance to combat fraud.
> "He published an open letter to advertisers in which he noted the need for some content moderation and said he wanted to make Twitter the most respected ad platform in the world."

It sure didn't take long to go from that sentiment to telling advertisers to go fuck themselves.
> If something is not sustainable without ads that seems to imply that people are not willing to pay for it. If people aren't willing to pay for it then I'm not sure it is a good business model.

This only holds if you agree that humans are perfectly rational economic agents. I disagree with that and think that there are lots of little interactions where just introducing a financial transaction impacts how people interact.

Maybe If I tallied all of my internet usage, figured out how much I value my internet usage, and then gave each page visit a value I could find out that I value my hackernews usage at $0.02 per link click. But if clicking links directly led to me paying more, my usage pattern would change.
I've tried both as well, and I suspect your lying to yourself about potency.

I certainly didn't have a scale to measure the dosage to match say a 10mg orange adderall pill.

By analogy, if you did a 75ml "shot" of alcohol each day, and then had a mixed drink one day, you would think it's a lot more potent.

I’m a long time reader of HN and don’t recall many threads about other wars, especially in the ME (but I’m open to be proven wrong).

The news coverage of Israel’s war in western media is huge. And while other ongoing wars in the ME, many of them led by dictators that are not even trying to seem democratic or just BTW, Israel gets the spotlight every single time. And HN definitely showed more interest in this than many other bloody conflicts in the ME.

Business is essentially the practice of deferring accountability and delegating responsibility. Nursing homes themselves only exist because people won't or can't take care of their parents; essentially, you commodify care for the elderly, and now they're a resource to be gamed.
