I was reminded recently of this article[1] :

Altman was of two minds about handing OpenAI products to Lynch and Carter.
“I unabashedly love this country, which is the greatest country in the world,”
he said. At Stanford, he worked on a darpa project involving drone helicopters.
“But some things we will never do with the Department of Defense.” He added,
“A friend of mine says, ‘The thing that saves us from the Department of Defense
is that, though they have a ton of money, they’re not very competent.’ But I feel
conflicted, because they have the world’s best cyber command.” Altman, by instinct
a cleaner-up of messes, wanted to help strengthen our military—and then to defend
the world from its newfound strength.

On an unrelated note, having the original title edited by the system after being submitted without the OP being noticed really annoys me, especially when the title starts with How, Why and other terms. It just made it a little weird to read, and sometimes it breaks the meaning. I once submitted a story and had some people complaining about the title being somehow misleading. When I noticed this, it was too late to edit the title.

In the HN guidelines, you read: "Otherwise, please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize."

I hope this will be taken into consideration.
I skimmed the background article "Earth beyond six of nine planetary boundaries." [0] The boundaries don't seem especially helpful.

* They don't seem to account for adaption, in particular by humans. Before December 1903 no powered airplane had ever achieved liftoff in the history of humankind. Within about 70 years jet travel became close to ubiquitous as a means of transportation in the developed world.

* There does not seem to be much acknowledgment of uncertainty in the science behind the boundaries. I'm unqualified to make judgements about things like ocean acidification but seeing estimates presented as bald facts does not give the reader much confidence.

* They don't have much value as a rhetorical device to persuade people to care about the environment. The basic argument seems to be that we're moving out of the conditions that prevailed across the Holocene, so that must be bad. Most people find flooded basements or crop failures more persuasive.

We're torching the environment IMO but there are better ways to get people focused on that and to fix it. Restoring marshlands or changing the albedo of cities seem like a better path.

> it doesn’t “get better” by a steady state percentage each year in a straight line

It sort of does [1]. The Antarctic ozone layer should recover to 1980 levels within 50 years.

As of 2022, "the overall concentration of ozone-depleting substances (ODSs) in the mid-latitude stratosphere had fallen just over 50 percent back to levels observed in 1980, before ozone depletion was significant" [2]. It should recover to 1980 levels by 2050 [3].

You can play backup games on a hacked PS5 now. If your PS5 is running an firmware released before March 23, 2022 then you can play backed up games. That means it took roughly 3 years from release to fully hack the PS5. It took a little over a year to be able to run hacked games on the Switch but that was a special circumstance due to the NVIDIA bootrom vulnerability.
Pitchfork Is Being Folded into GQ, as Condé Nast Seeks 'Best Path Forward'
In fact most really good lawyers deliberately take pro bono cases to expose them to legal thinking they might not otherwise encounter. Solving problems and applying your expertise to things you wouldn’t normally trip over is a great way to enhance what you are doing day to day.

And that’s why people volunteer to do stuff that might not seem “worth it” - because if you’re an expert in something you can always learn more by looking at it through a different lens.

This, obviously, is aimed at the upstream comment not yours!
And what should not be forgotten.

Even with all boundaries largely crossed it's still easier to keep earth self-substainable colonized then doing so for mars.
The fluorite lenses also allow them to shrink the lens design and make it easier to carry around. They do this by reducing the # of elements required. It's why you mostly see them in big long focal length lenses since that's where the size & weight gets really obnoxious.
Good news for life. Bad news for capitalism (which is also probably good news for life)
If everyone acted individually, it would add up to a huge difference.

This is the same discussion we'll soon be hearing about voting - the PTB try to convince the youth that one vote doesn't change anything, when the truth is that if everyone got out to vote at the same rate as the older demographics do, the USA would have a massive political and cultural shift.

This is the best time to step up and do what you can, even if it doesn't look like much.
They’re all computers, whether you can make phonecalls with them is actually not that interesting.

My takeaway of their angle is: the companies making the apps and services that are used a lot often have incentives that aren’t aligned with their users. People want to see baby photos, Facebook wants to sell ads, people want to find information, Google wants to sell ads, people want to see what their friends are doing Instagram wants to sell ads. The “LAM” promises to wrap a lot of stuff under an interface.

The device itself is just the access point.

I like the angle. I don’t see it working with today’s quality of LLM understanding human intent nor with all of the siloed platforms.
Is there any writing about these types of schema changes? It's something I run into using dynamodb.
Yes, you are right. But.

People do abuse the protections, which are too lengthy, makes possible to sell rights, etc.

In the end, corporations (ab)uses (buy and sell rights) protections for amassing fortunes much bigger than the original creator ever got. That's not right, not fair, at all. System's broken, need fix, throw it all out and build something new, centered around creators.

Give back to creators only, for less time.
So here we have security vulnerabilities in an open source UEFI implementation, resulting in a thread about how UEFI is too complex. So your solution... is to use the actual Linux kernel plus some glue code as your boot firmware? I love Linux, but it is neither simple nor free of security vulnerabilities; what exactly does this buy us?

Edit: On reading another reply, I see your argument for having fewer implementations; that's not nothing, but it only really helps if everything is on Linux, which isn't going to help most desktops (and I hope we can agree that NT in firmware is not better) or the rest of the world that isn't on Linux (say, the BSDs).
It is a beta project.

You would expect this to work, but you also shouldn't be surprised that a beta project isn't perfect.

If you need the ability to login reliably and a search engine that never goes down, stick to google.

If you want to help a new entrant with a product that reliably outperforms Google search get their product battle-ready, then give them a bit of a chance to make it right.
Agreed. Setting a boundary invites people to point out that nothing happened the second that boundary was crossed. Maybe defining zones with consequences attached might be more meaningful so we can evaluate which cost is preferred - solving the problem or living with it.
I can drive my car over the land border between two countries and have to switch sides of the road. Or the speed limit can go up/down. Or they can mandate different safety equipment.
Or maybe it's none of those things and when you're busy working at least you have the dream that one day it'll be over and you can somehow be happy. If you actually live the dream you might actually find what you thought would make you happy doesn't cut it, and then you don't even have the dream.
In a B2B setting, this whole class of issues can be resolved with basic endpoint management. For some of our customers, we use InTune to push our PWAs as homescreen icons to enrolled iOS devices. Other customers dont even care about the icon being done automagically. Their users will either open safari directly (gasp) or will setup the icon however they prefer.
This is kind of exactly what I've been looking for. I've been trying to weave stuff together with libp2p, but this looks very promising as a way to handle a lot of the lower-level junk I don't care about. While I didn't go in-depth on the docs, I can see that this would be able to model a lot of different applications right off the bat. Very cool.
And with the money you save by not using a car, you can easily save enough to go on an overseas holiday.
I guess that would give us more time, but why would you expect that we wouldn't do the same thing to any other planet we settle on?

Also consider that any other known planet within reach (and I'm really being generous with "within reach") is much, much less habitable than Earth; it would be far easier for such a colony to fail catastrophically.
Ask HN: Has anyone moved up on the DoorDash marketplace integration list?
I'm curious if anyone has had any movement on the Marketplace integration queue or if DoorDash is using the following explanation as a way to squeeze out third party delivery api aggregators.

> Our Marketplace integration pipeline is currently at capacity. We are not accepting new partners at the moment while we develop self-serve tooling for merchant onboarding. Please fill in the Marketplace integration interest form to get in touch with DoorDash before building your integration.

I ask because I'm aware of one company that has been on the list for quite some time with no movement. I'm also aware of another delivery API aggregator company that recently lost their access.

I have 20,000+ files/pages on gwern.net where I try to fix 404s for over the past 13 years or so that I've been building it, so I am well aware of the difficulty in maintaining links (particularly across very large changes in the website structure), and the perverse ingenuity of bots, scanners, and real users in coming up with brandnew 404s.

> it becomes almost an impossible/full-time job.

That it cannot be solved perfectly in full generality is true, but nevertheless, that is not an excuse to not set a redirect for the very simple and common case of 'mv foo.html bar.html', and all website software should support that.
Greed can be found in many tractable problems. Shall we start with energy companies love for fossil fuels to keep status quo, or Bitcoin's energy use, some Chinese cities' production of CFCs or private jets' emissions, to name a few?
Is this chart confusing as shit for anyone else? No axis ranges, label names change, categories randomly split into new sub-categories, my eyes must dart around to find anything, and what the hell are (not measured?) "novel entities"? Are the values, which are represented by areas, correspondingly non-linear?

Maybe I'm just being an idiot, but this chart choice seems horrendous.
Sarcasm or delusion?
I run OpenBSD on my laptop. I love it, but I would recommend that beginners read some warnings on the label.

First, you will not have bluetooth. Second, it is slow in ways that will matter. As in, you will feel it, but not be annoyed by it (Especially with a web browser). Third, KDE plasma support is a work in progress (read: most people do not get KDE plasma on an OpenBSD installation today, although it won't stay like this forever).

With these disclaimers out of the way, I can heartily encourage it. I love having an operating system that I can trust. Things work, things are well doccumented and things are very very clean.
Narcissism as a disorder is rare and it's only the extreme cases. As a personality style it is not that uncommon. Such milder narcissism is most problematic in close personal relationships, otherwise the person is fully functional. Since it's personality it's hard to change and it does not make sense to pathologize it. It still deserves recognition because in these relationships with narcissists there are victims with lasting psychological issues.

I can't recommend enough Dr. Ramani Durvasula, she publishes lots of material to explain the topic in depth and with her experience as psychologist.
And not for you? Where do you live that you would possibly be positively affected by such change?
If by "expand beyond planet" you mean bilk investors out of billions of dollars pretending you have a plan to "expand beyond the planet" then yes.
Next step will be to ask for GPU time. Because even with data, model code and training framework you may have no resources to train. "The equivalent would be" someone gives you the code, but no access to mainframe which is required to compile. Which would make it not open source(?) There are other variations, like original compiler was lost, current compilers aren't backward compatible. Does that make old open source code closed now?

In other words there should be a reasonable line when model is called open source. In extreme view it's when the model, the training framework, and the data are available for free. This would mean open source model can be trained only on public domain data. Which makes class of open source models very, very limited.

More realistic is to make the code and the weights available. So that with some common knowledge new model can be trained, or old fine tuned, on available data. Important note: weights cannot be reproduced even if original training data is available. It will be always a new model with (slightly) different responses.
Would you self host foundationDB? It seems there aren't many providers.
I don't get it - isn't this just really stupid? Like putting a big target on his chest and saying to everyone (criminals as well as law enforcement) "Come and get me"?
Epic plans to contest Apple's 'bad-faith' compliance with ruling over App Store
Exactly. It can't be ignored that these new lenses are much bigger & heavier and much more expensive as a result. That helps a lot. But it makes them worse if a) you need to carry them a long way for your type of photography b) your photography doesn't actually benefit from or require their advantages.

A lot of these benefits seem more important to the measurement focused hobbyists. But if you don't actually care about shooting at f/1.2-f/1.4 a lot of the time you might want to save the money.
He's been credibly accused by many people, it's an open secret in the industry, and he took a 6 month leave of absence and then never came back and started a new studio. Oh and he publicly acknowledged unspecified "missteps".

For someone who's had so many successful movies you'd think they'd defend him to the hilt if he was innocent?

"They're making great progress. They will throw ML/AI at it, and it will be interesting to see what comes out. For people that enjoy tech, this is neat."

-Me, hearing Elon in 2015 describing fully autonomous self-driving as a "solved problem" and stating that "we will have complete autonomy in approximately two years."
Yes but most of you are just trying to retire early and will work for anyone.
That power sounds negative is the problem.
I agree there. It's def a hard problem to solve that requires global cooperation. But I believe there is very little actual appetite to even attempt to solve the issues. As long as the shareholders keep getting a return on their investment, let the planet burn. But eventually the music will stop, maybe not in the next 10 years, or the next 50, but we're def heading towards a very bleak future.
> but we know governments well enough to not expect that, right?

So why target the EV supply chain, then? What made the politicians get up and start enacting laws now, but not start applying their lawmakering skills to other industries as well?

ah, i see. a trOpenAIn horse.
Huge market distortions can come from a small absolute proportion of the market. Say, those with spying-advertising money-spigots. Nothing I wrote contradicts what you've written—rather, and the phenomenon paying incredible wages to capture the top talent—so, those with both a lot to gain from improving labor supply—and the coincidence of having a whole lot of money to fund PR and lobbying pushes to get more grads in the pipeline for computer-stuff hiring, is concentrated largely among ad companies.

What I mean is the STEM push sold one thing, but it was largely about another thing, which was more workers to help sell ads slightly better. It was about that to the people pushing it, that is.

This article reminded me of the “beams” that held the universe together in Stephen Kings Dark Tower series of books.

That being said, we have a pretty complete fossil record for at least the last planetary extinction in which Earth still remained suitable for life. Obviously I have a somewhat personal opinion about being a part of the next one.

So I guess this graph more so defines ideal markers of homeostasis as I have faith that this particular planet will continue to support life after us.
Money doesn't buy you happiness, but it _does_ eliminate a set of problems that can impede one's happiness.

Which is not to say that the person with money can't then find additional problems, or use the money such that they reintroduce a class of problems.
I just wasn't sure why an article on Newtonian physics was posted.

I clicked through because I was interested to see if there was some new argument for absolute space, which would contradict our current understanding (unlikely). It was not, however. Instead it was a nuance of Newton's arguments for his basis of absolute space.
The problem with the disaster reporting on the climate is that it
is starting to feel like the child who cried wolf.

I have no idea for how many years I have heard
"Unless we act right now, NOW, we are all FUCKED".

Ok. so that was 20 years ago, its still:
"Unless we act right now, NOW, we are all FUCKED".

Either the models were wrong and have been adjusted every year.
or more likely the people shouting about reports who didnt entirely
do their homework.

I have no doubt that things are getting worse.
but reading speeches from 20 years ago, right now we would all be
dead, beneath the sea, no food, etc etc.

Instead, here we are, a few billion more folks, consumption, and production
still increasing.

The Paris goal is well and truly blown to bits by now in any sane analysis.
Which we know means we are fucked.

Yet:

Norway holds the most passionate speeches at various conferences and such yet.
Oslo keeps buling all the big cultural buildings and most expensive housing
right at the water's edge, that will shortly be partially under water.
and pumps and produces as much oil and gas as possible.

Yet:
Netherlands has not started evacuating the parts fofthe country already under the waterline.

Yet:
Biden giving speeches on the climate.
Interpreted and translated by Greta:
"Blah blah blah blah jobs, blah blah build back better blah blah".

And you see Joe opening up for drilling on federal lands,
US #1 producer of oil, 2/3 from fracking.

Now either Joe doesnt not believe in his own speeches,
and does not believe in science.
Or he is one sadistic person.

You cant be green and still do your best to increase the production of gas and oil.

There is strong doublethink at work here.
One thing is said in passionate speeches.
The direct opposite is executed.

Personally, I concluded some time ago that we are fucked.
and now like George Carlin said you can sit back and watch the show.
...or just light the "WALK" sign when the parallel street gets its green.

A lot of this going on right now. Business is strong and companies don't necessarily want to let top talent go, but they simply can't afford the R&D expenditures anymore; it's all going to interest payments.

I have not a climate expert but I can give the abstract math answer to what is a boundary.

A dynamic system can have several stable states. There can exist forcing functions F_param, which can push the system towards different directions. Due to the interaction of the these pushes, the system can settle into a single stable state. Now, start changing one param, which only linearly changes one of the forcing function's direction. But eventually, the forcing function param will cross a value so that instead of the system accelerating towards the first stable state, the system starts accelerating towards another stable state. That crossover point for param is the boundary.

In other words a linear small change in param can create a highly non-linear and large change in the state of the system. That is the intuition about keeping warming below 2C, for example. Once Delta T goes beyond 2C, the system starts rapidly accelerating towards a new stable state which is very bad for humans.
It's "surprising" because it was an explicit part of OpenAI's charter to not allow their tech to be used by the military, but to anyone with half a brain I don't think it is ACTUALLY a surprise.
People in the thread are dropping all kinds of trivia about Pixar and BSD but possibly the biggest news about the subject of the article in the last 5 years is that he was ousted from his role at Pixar for sexual harassment. Feels relevant.
But overpriced goods and services are fairly common and accepted in the marketplace. Gucci handbags, houses, TurboTax, any product or service at a car dealership…

The 30% App Store tax does suck but I’ve never understood why it’s singled out. My best guess is that people hate platforms because it’s a 3-way transaction, which makes everything harder, including price negotiation. And also the service isn’t particularly unique, unlike the house, or a status symbol, unlike the Gucci handbag.

Ironically, if Apple made App Store publication more expensive but invite-only, like a high end Bugatti sports car, I don’t think it would’ve ended up in court.
I know you're joking but people who write C like him would argue it's not obfuscated. It's certainly not intentionally written to be more difficult to read, and those who are practiced in the art often say that it's _easier_ to read.
Large Language Models for Generative Information Extraction
There is no need to specify electric vehicles in the regulation - it should be general enough to cover all aspects including vehicles, textiles, electronics, telecom equipment, etc.
