I hate Gorgon too, they tarnished the name of CCS for commercial gain. Their system is throttled for economic reasons though, not technological. Even worse: the government funded it!

If the Australian Government held their feet to the fire they would have sequestered the promised amount. However they didn’t, and Chevron has no incentive to fix it properly.
It depends on the car I believe. My Mach E doesn't brake as hard as Teslas that I've driven and honestly I'm braking too late more often than I do with normal 2 pedal driving. Mentally it just adds a split second of hesitation because I can't judge as precisely how quickly my car will come to a full stop. The Teslas that I've driven are nice because they brake much harder, which I personally like.
As a Tesla driver, I’m used to one pedal driving now, but I don’t love it.

The thing I do most when driving is maintain the same speed, and doing that with one pedal driving is a little hard on my leg, since you have to keep the pedal at just the right angle. I’d prefer a “sailing” mode where one pedal accelerates, the other decelerates, and if you do neither then it just maintains your velocity.

The Tesla already disconnects the pedal inputs from what’s happening since I have the setting turned on for it to maintain one-pedal deceleration when regen is low, by adding in brake. I’d like to continue heading in the drive by wire direction.
Smug westerners love to say that stuff, and yet people in Saudi Arabia are much happier than Norwegians. The rate of suicide is double in Norway what it is in Saudi Arabia. I guess there's more to a country and people's worth than their willingness to fly LGBT flags?
How fast does the regenerative braking start? When I drive in an ICE with two pedals, when driving in an area with hazards, kids, etc, I frequently will take my foot off of the gas and hover it over the brake so that I'm able to respond quickly. I can do this because taking my foot off the gas while maintaining speed doesn't make an abrupt impact if I'm maintaining speed in a flat area.

I would still want to be able to respond equally quickly in an EV, but it seems like it would lurch quite a bit if I did the same in a one-pedal setup?

I don't know that I'd want a full toggle in an inaccessible spot to be able to coast. Do any EVs have like a paddle to coast/disable regenerative braking?
If a child is on facebook for 5 years (the max possible without violating age requirements and assuming the age of majority is 18) and if harassment events are independently distributed, the chance of this particular child suffering sexual harassment is (at least) 1 - (1 - 0.00005)^(365 * 5) = ~8.7%.

Moreover, given that the 13-17 (inclusive) age range represents a small portion of FB's total user base, the 0.005% figure is a deep underestimate itself, meaning the 8.7% is as well.

Everyone is free to their opinion, of course, but "only 8.7% of children on FB are sexually harassed" seems a bit cavalier.

How is not supporting a cross platform library given Apple a competitive advantage? Game developers use cross platform engines that abstract the difference and there have been cross platform web based cross platform SDKs forever like React Native.

We need to seriously rethink how children’s safety is handled online.

The scariest moment in my parenting career is when my eldest daughter turned 13. Suddenly all of her kids accounts are grownup accounts.

This happens overnight with no in-between phase.

My main concern isn’t even controlling what she sees as knowing what she sees.

If I could set her browsing history to “non-private, no-delete” I’d be happy as a clam.
Ask HN: What extent can LLMs be used to simulate the operation of silicon chips?
If they are complex enough, can they simulate data handling and manipulation, for e.g. amplifying a soundtrack while the conventional norm would be to run the audio track through a set of hardware devices for amplification.

I have also read instances where LLMs are used as eyes and render the environment on a virtual canvas as they "see it", they are simulating the operations of a complex biological organ and sense.

There's even a push for precommitments (e.g. "I'm doing an experiment on X that will finish on YY/ZZ") so that even if a failed experiment results in nothing publishable, other researchers will know not to waste their time trying to repeat it.
There have been many such claims of decipherment of the Indus Valley script, with varying levels of rigour in their arguments, but I wouldn't consider any of them having actually achieved it.
In the Haskell world there's a bit of a cheap differentiation for this kind of leak.

Memory leak: classical C style, fully lost in memgrind (runtime bug)
Space leak: Some memory structure requires significantly more memory than it should. E.g. keeping a (lazy) ref to a large blob, around that keeps it in memory.

The effect is largely the same, but the latter is almost harder to spot, since the tooling cannot be as general as memgrind.
Hey Hiro, you want to buy some SnowCrash?
It’s early stage tech, they’re all promising in that _they are trying to develop tech to help_. How can I prove a developing tech will scale? How can you prove it won’t? It started at 0 and is now at millions of tonnes scale. If that isn’t good enough progress then I have nothing for you.

Imagine using the same logic in the 80s “solar panels produce hardly any power and use lots of fossil fuels for production, why are we wasting resources developing them?”

Or the internet in the 90s “it will have less impact than the fax machine.”

It’s just emotional nonsense. We should support the people working on solutions, not complain from the sidelines.

I agree with you, but so what?

The expected ROI for any given seed investment is $0. It’s common knowledge at this point that seed investing is a numbers game where nearly all seed investments fail and a tiny percentage return huge.

I consider our investors successful in that we’ll, at a very minimum, return more than they would have seen if they had invested in the S&P 500 over 10 years.
The VT extensions also unfortunately didn't "fit in" with the VM86 model either, needing their own special instructions and data structures (and AMD and Intel also did slightly different things, further complicating the situation.)
I drove a six speed manual for 16 years and loved it, and almost always used engine braking. The regenerative braking the electric I drive now feels very similar, with maybe two exceptions.

Where my manual would stall, my electric comes to a gentle stop.

You also don't get the same sort of "neutral" feeling. You can get close, but it's not like shifting to neutral and taking both feet off the pedals and coasting. You have to simulate it with your foot and pedal position. It becomes second nature, but it is a difference.

Aside from that, it's the same to me. My right foot can still come all the way off the pedal and apply more braking, just like it would if I were engine braking and needed more. I feel fully in control.
Isn’t this literally the plot of the Matrix, that AI needed energy sources so it harvested humans for that reason? And kept us in the matrix so we’d think we’re still living our lives?

That movie keeps giving!
Sure, LLMs can eventually simulate anything in a lossy, ridiculously inefficient way. It's not a good idea though.

I'm somewhat reminded of the paper "Could a Neuroscientist Understand a Microprocessor?" which calls out the weakness of black-box analysis and simulation techniques. https://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/jo...
None of the benefits listed apply to the Chevy Bolt, as it uses regen up to 55kW when using the brake pedal. I would assume most modern EVs are the same.
Love it!!! super helpful for scientists to efficiently reading papers. Would be great if it highlights the main conclusions.
I tried it a few times but was mostly disappointed with the results. I built a superior solution (for my usage anyway) in like 50 lines of Python.

Just uses duckduckgo for search, extracts text from top 8 results, shoves into gpt-3.

(I think I got a massive cost reduction by filtering paragraphs with embedding API, but that's just an optimization.)

Phind is better than what I built, though. I don't actually use it that much (I'm not sure why—habit? Impatience?), but every time I do I'm surprised with the accuracy.

I think a big part of it is which pages to select for sources. Google Bard failed hard here in my testing, gave nonsense answers because its sources were AI generated SEO spam!
Pivoting My Startup Journey
Wasn't his whole problem with one particular implementation of one-pedal driving, the Ioniq 5? As I recall, it was poorly implemented and had a relatively common use case that would allow you to stop without the brake lights ever coming on.

This isn't really a problem that other EVs have had. The brake lights come on when you slow down, just as if you had used the brake pedal. It's mostly as easy as triggering at a certain amount of kW generated.
This is only a problem in some EVs. Teslas, for example, illuminate the brake lights correctly when regenerative braking is used. The pinned comment on the video also suggests Hyundai may have fixed this on their cars by now, although I don't know whether they followed through.
What are they selling, how is this financed? Seems like something Brave and Firefox can both do, you probably just need to install some extensions for the "missing" features. I do not see anything revolutionary here. If you do not use Tor or at least a VPN and refuse to login to anything you are never really private to the web and this Browser will not change that.

What is "Vault" and what are "Private downloads" they just proxy them through one of their servers? How does it work? Is it really private? What about sites that only let you download if you actually visited the site and they generate like time limited links that only work on your specific browser for a while, how will "private downloads" solve this issue? I am doubtful about pretty much any of this. I well keep Brave and Firefox.
The problem with society is that people are willing to sacrifice the good of others in order to gain something for themselves. They also tend to lie to themselves and/or are oblivious to it. The problem is within us; better intelligence will just let us do it with more sophistication, or perhaps on a larger scale. One of the main force within society pushing against having all our arrows point inwards is religion, which these days isn't even in consideration for membership in the set of useful things.

Europe is a lot more sophisticated about both regulation and multi-family housing then we are, I’m not sure we should interpret North America’s quirks as advances.

If they are advances, we might ask to what end: most building and planning code was created with the express purpose of engineering a suburban single-family detached homeowner-driver society, not to create safe or pleasant urbanism.

We definitely had background checks at each school, but background checks are largely just theatre as it can only tell you what is currently known about someone, nothing more.

HTML is terrible for mixed media. I have tried to save web pages over the years, and invariably it is a mess.

I have some old ones, they were root document plus a directory full of loose gifs and jpegs.

I tried .webarchive but nothing can read it but the original browser.

Images of pages would be more of the same. You'd probably end up with a bunch of loose gif/jpg/png/tiff filee, one per page, or some semi-supported multi-image file.
In a one-pedal setup if you jerk your foot off the pedal it'll immediately start slowing down significantly. In the majority of situations you will react significantly faster with one-pedal driving than without. The only exception is if you're hovering over the brake pedal. Not my style, but to each their own.
>I think it's a much bigger assumption...

i don't think it's that big of an assumption. there's a long history of discrimination being enforced through building codes. will a second stairwell save a life at some point? almost certainly yes, but it wouldn't be an effective blocker if it obviously didn't. the question isn't whether it improves safety, it's whether it improves safety enough to be worthwhile. a second stairwell would also almost certainly save a life if it were required for single-family homes too, but we don't do that because there's some line somewhere where we decide making things 100% safe is silly, and compromise the edge case of safety for the sake of practicality. and there's a lot of forces trying to move that line away from practicality when it comes to multi-family housing.
I mean GP specifically mentioned "no cruise" and while I doubt that's common in EVs, to their point in an ICE you can take your foot off of the gas, do some stretches, give it a quick rest, and put it back on the pedal all before you would noticeably change speeds. In an EV with regenerative braking you'd be noticeably decelerating if you did the same. I think that's what they were reacting to; the idea of not being able to give your foot a rest. But again...your EV is probably going to have cruise.
Maybe we are around when time `bool child` can be cast to `int`. 80 years old grandma could use some child-intended protection as well as someone just over 13, 18, 20, 21, against internet malice, there's no reason they have to be cut off from platform mechanisms just because they boolean disqualify.
Wait what was the personal attack?
No it wasn't intended for customer use, the customer wasn't supposed to be directly hitting that API. There was reverse engineering that had to happen before recovering the plaintext password. He was already someplace fairly iffy for him to be. It was much more like being on the front porch of a house you don't own and finding a key.
The funny thing to me about this is that Trifecta is still less lean than the minimal “image sharing site”: copy the images to a web root (for drag and drop, use Samba, NFS or your favorite remote mounting protocol over an internal network). Have a minimally-configured web server serve the image (perhaps with some html generator to make an actual page).

A while back, I wanted to host a pastebin for sharing bits of code and other text. Then I realized that about 10 lines of (compile-time) elisp gave me everything I needed to turn any webserver I could ssh to into a pastebin with no runtime dependencies aside from nginx:

I'm a happy Apple Arcade user and it's been great for games that I used to love. Temple Run is an example. I bought it, loved it, but each update had more and more advertisements showing up in the game. A game I paid for.
Now I have it in Arcade, and it's advertisement free.

I feel more taken advantage of by the original maker than I do Apple.
Converting kinetic energy back into something you can use later to accelerate is less efficient than dissipating it as heat you can never recover? I don't follow your math.
Well, how is War on Drugs going so far? Is it very hard to get drugs as a teen and what about the unintended side effects? Also making a purchase with precisely quantifiable ingredients is not the same thing as having a conversation where harm or benefit can be only evaluated given full context. Why do you think current laws are too little rather than too much? If personalized advertisement to children was not banned, companies would be more incentivezed to offer child accounts which are full featured enough for children to actually want to use.

I'm not really sure how that would be possible with a true general intelligence give the alignment problem - it's not really clear to me there's any responsible way to build a true general intelligence with that issue unsolved.

They don't say "build general intelligence responsibly". The "responsibly" is attached to the action action of publishing the code. Of course it is it will be open sourced responsibly. But of course, that doesn't precent them from building a general intelligence without a sense of responsibility, and then just not release it.

Would an infectious disease epidemiologist giving you the rundown work?

Basically, antibiotics are awesome, but suffer from a major problem: Bacteria are very good at evolving resistance to them, so we are running a constant race against mother nature, and we are, to be frank, losing.

Phage are viruses that "prey" on bacteria. If we can harness them to treat infections, they can co-evolve with the bacteria, theoretically solving the resistance problem, and giving us a second means of fighting bacterial infections.

There are however some practical hurdles.
This reads like a propaganda piece for anti-encryption mouthpieces.

"But think of the children" that ends with "oh noes the encryption."
When my parents moved abroad, I inherited the bone porcelain set they got as a wedding gift (a Swedish Rörstrand set). It was used every day when I was a kid and it's used everyday now 40 years later by my kids. It's been dropped hundreds of times and there are maybe only one or two chips among all the plates and bowls.

Meanwhile all the cheap IKEA dishes I bought as a student always broke within a year of purchase.
From what I understand, Carrolls has too much negotiation power and, thus, retains too much of the revenue. That's why BurgerKing will soon rent out those locations to new local franchisees. Probably "local" here means that they won't have any market power which might allow them to negotiate back against BurgerKing.
I've been doing it for a number of years, and haven't found that to be a problem. My brain doesn't consider one-pedal driving as equivalent with a hard stop, it's more about modulating my speed with high precision. If something jumps in front of me that necessitates emergency braking, I use the brake pedal like I always have.
> He’s pointing out that the phonetic maps are so loose and nondeterministic

This interacts with the highly inflectional nature of Greek; imagine a scheme for deciphering an unknown text into English which allowed the decipherer to insert, at any point, any word that might not be capitalized in standard English title case: to, for, the, of, and, but, with, ..., along with whatever plural or possessive markers they wished.
> ...that is in many ways democratically accountable...

But in this case, the plan is to remove encryption so that officials can monitor everyone's messaging. And it has to be all mail, otherwise fairly obviously the horrible people will go use secure communication.

So them being democratically accountable appears to mean they can just poke their nose into whatever they like and there isn't anything much voters can do about it. Using taxpayer money to enforce everything I might add.

Some random rich guy couldn't do this. He can't force anyone to divulge their mail, and he can't force the people being targeted to fund it.

And this idea of democratic accountability is a bit sus. The Nazi's were the plurality party when they took over (as far as I recall, anyway), the Communists were popular enough to win a war when they took over China. Popular support for a terrible idea doesn't change the nature of the idea, we're much better off with actual technical protections to give everyone time to figure out they're making terrible mistakes.
I remember I worked somewhere where they had something like this. Most people had windows machines, but I had a mac that I had installed.

My machine wanted me to accept a client certificate from palo alto networks.

I did not and kept refusing.

I think they had some sort of intrusive mitm proxy that filtered everything everyone was doing/browsing.
I also thought this was a major omission. After using languages with well-supported sum types (mainly Swift and Elm), I find it painful to go back to languages that lack native support.
