Wow. I've suspected for a while that Bard's performance has been limited mostly by cost. Google isn't charging for Bard and they didn't want to run a gigantic model for everyone for free forever. Maybe they made a breakthrough in inference cost for their better models? Or maybe they got tired of everyone clowning on them for being behind and decided to eat the cost for a while.

I still think they ought to launch a subscription so we can see their absolute best model running in public.
IIRC, slack archive by default, you don't have access to previous messages after a certain point unless you pay for the service.
After. I am still currently trying.

(Apologies I missed your response earlier as this thread suddenly had a lot going on.)
The utility companies have absolutely no business knowing the subscribers household income. What a completely ridiculous proposal, they're in a 'cost+' business.
That is not divulging personal information in any case and the privilege of driving requires some compromises there. For example, having a medical condition actually is a private matter but the state has a compelling public safety interest to require you to disclose conditions which affect your ability to drive safely.
California does not require proof of legal status to get a driving license.
I think the license is just eligible in California afterwards.

Those aren't performance based requirements though. The TPM 2 requirements that actually limit many computers from running it is entirely arbitrary to limit user ability to modify their own computers. It also gives them a backdoor into your system. The requirements are there just for Microsoft to better control you and your system. The ARM SOCs used all have these features, which is why theyre allowed to run Win 11.
Microsoft Teams outage causes connection issues, message delays
Back when I worked at an office my coworker commented to me that he could always tell when I was coding vs corresponding.

When corresponding, I type at around 120 wpm. When coding, it's got to be closer to 5 or 10. But I really like this idea that it would be useful to push that number lower (while still focusing on the task at hand).

Thing is, I got into this field because I really enjoy interacting with computers via keyboard. It's super satisfying to punch some buttons and make things happen. This is what I love about vim: right off the bat, a single button press feels like it does a lot. Then you punch a whole bunch of buttons to make a new button make something happen. Nevermind that it doesn't achieve product goals. I'm here for the button pressing, and for the creating of new buttons to be pressed.
I'd guess there are places where refusing to drive suggests you're drunk.
> programmers love metaprogramming

and (many of them) hate writing documentation.

and there is no source to learn the language from. other than the "self-documenting" code, which often isn't.

I am not opposed to using abstraction. Sometimes abstractions are powerful. But the more abstract you go, the more effort you need to spend to make sure you communicated it properly to the rest of the team -- including its future members.

Demand charges (peak kW rather than kWh) are very common in commercial and industrial.

It's very rare a residential house has a 50kW kiln, so those kinds of spikey loads basically balance out over a subdivision.

Although interestingly, an unintended side-effect of aggressive time-of-use pricing is the entire subdivision has programmed their air conditioners or EV chargers to turn back on right at 9pm when peak pricing ends. That kind of unintended mass-coordination DOES create sometimes-problematic high demand spikes.

TBH tired of the shovel ware from the likes of Activision, EA, Blizzard and probably the worst culprit UbiSoft.

At some point my kid loved playing Far Cry series - at some point I wondered if they just reused the same code every year and just did new textures and maps and scripted the same missions.

Starfield - such a disappointment - would have preferred just one handcrafted solar system.

I only use Xbox Game Pass - find gems on it every now again from indie studios.
Plenty of ore deposits simply haven't been exploited yet because the demand wasn't there, or the market price made it economically nonviable.

The air in a house has relatively little mass so for heating it works well but if you switch off the heater the house will get cold relatively quickly compared to water based systems and the reverse is true for cooling. What you could do is to cool down the floors if they are made of concrete, but then you have to be very careful to stay above the condensation point.

It's actually better. All the people claiming unannounced updates make OpenAI model significantly worse were misled by their own lying eyes. It's so hard to believe, I know, but it's true.
I'm talking about legalities, not technical capability. That said, given how much phone usage is collected about people by various (mostly ad) companies, I'm guessing that's where you could find some decent usage data.
It’s pretty good got newer info than gpt4, but refuses on stuff that doesn’t make sense when I ask it to write code using a certain public library, it refuses due to privacy reasons. Where as gpt4 will do it.

Getting close, but this will force OpenAI to come out with gpt5 for another big round of catch up

> I'm glad that you have implicitly agreed that Soviet regime wasn't "our own".

Of course it was. You've made it your own by flying its flags, by marching under its banners, by celebrating its dictators, and by continuing its traditions in how you treat domestic population and neighbours alike. Germany, in comparison, has made a clear break with its past and you see nothing like that there.

> As you've noted, I grew my potatoes myself and subsisted on them. Why would I be grateful to Americans then? shrug

The billions from American food aid program stabilized prices and prevented the situation from deteriorating into widespread hunger. Of particular importance was the grain required to feed livestock. I vividly remember newspaper photos of grain ships when they first arrived. The aid program lasted until 2000, and it wasn't the first time for Americans to give food aid to prevent starvation in Russia.

> I wonder when you've last set foot in any Russian city or town, since they're actually quite nice these days.

2019, but since I mentioned Narva earlier, this Varlamov's video is better than any personal anecdote ands sums up very well what I meant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMSwO7lS5QY In 2014, the EU provided Narva and its Russian counterpart Ivangorod on the other bank of the river 5M EUR to reconstruct the riverbanks in an initiative to improve neighbourly relations. Estonian side built a modern and very popular public space with lighted walkways, open air gyms and playgrounds along the riverbank. On the Russian side, the money got stolen and fishermen continue to sit on piles of rocks between weeds.

And may I remind that Narva in 2024 is a run-down and declining provincial town, that is, nothing spectacular and no "model city" in any way.

All in all, I see no objective reasons why Russians couldn't share the same standard of living as Norwegians, if they hanged their Kremlin rat, dropped the idiotic and violent belief in Russian exceptionalism and xenophobia, and focused on improving life at home one step at a time instead of trying to drag everyone around them down the drain. This too is a Soviet legacy that Russians have adopted and willingly embrace. After losing the war, Germans gave up on their stupid world domination plans. When will Russians do the same?

I recall a taxi ride in the Chicago area where the driver had a portable black-and-white TV in the car.

I think you either care about driving safely or you don't. The phones are just the latest distraction.

But the phone can easily tell when it's in a moving car. It could be programmed to not be useable during those times, or maybe allow passively displaying a navigation map but no interactive use.
That's true from an energy perspective but from an economics perspective it is very hard to beat a well insulated tank filled with water.
Using your phone is demonstrably less safe than not. What I find most interesting is how skewed human psychology can be to risk.

People have phobias about all sorts of things eg flying. Flying on a commercial airplane is demonstrably safer than driving. So why isn't there a more prevalent fear of driving? Some will point to the illusion of control. I can buy that to some degree.

Phone use by driving should make people more fearful of driving. Even if you personally don't use your phone while driving, other people do. And that increases your own risk. Yet that doesn't seem to be the case.

What makes this worse is that everything from marketing to public relations to politics is built around stoking irrational fears that aren't based in fact. A classic example is child abduction even though in reality in the United States ~8 children are actually abducted every year. Figures like "800,000 per year" are heavily inflated with custody disputes.
Oh good, I was worried my accounts had been locked and I had been laid off
Yeah, I saw a Tesla driver watching a video on his dashboard TV while running stop signs here. Good thing the other drivers were paying attention.
I just needed something to nitpick nice write up :)
If you're suggesting that the state should make driver's licenses contingent on owning a phone with a feature like this, I guess I'll just have to give up my car or my phone, then.
Fair enough. When/where I was growing up up D&D meant one of the coloured boxes (white if you where very old, but red/blue mostly). AD&D was always called AD&D. Never heard anyone say "0e".
This is why I'm sad to see the widespread use of MIT and BSD licenses, and others that allow the project to be pulled into closed-source services without anything returned. At the least use the GPL so that changes are upstreamed; ideally license it for free under something like the AGPL and then offer it under less restrictive terms in exchange for a fee
That data is practically useless because I'm using Google Maps and Spotify connected to my AUX neither of which I think most people consider using your phone while driving.

While I can't say that I have noticed anything out of the ordinary yet on my Pixel 7, I will say that I have been a diehard Google phone user since the Nexus 4 days and have been really disappointed with how things have turned out with the more recent iterations of Google phones. Terrible battery life, bugs, poor quality fingerprint readers, questionable design decisions in general. The phones used to be a fairly reasonable alternative to the Apple offerings, but these days I feel like there is really no competition and am very close to switching to the other side. I really want to stick with what had traditionally worked for me, but I keep getting burned year after year now.
Took this algorithms class at University of Michigan last year.

Thatchaphol Saranurak is widely considered as one of the greatest upcoming TCS talents, pumps out meaningful results like a monster. Expect him to leave Michigan for MIT/Berkely/Stanford tbh. I took this class and it was comparable to the UMich honors math sequence.
A coworker was in an accident because some teenager cut 3 lanes of traffic from the left lane to the exit because he almost missed a Poke stop. It was his passenger playing, so the driver can still make horrible decisions based on a phone even if not the one personally operating the phone.

I realize this anecdotal story is not a 1:1 example. It's definitely more general into distracted driving in general, and just how teenage decision making isn't very mature at all.
Please allow this. I love what pg is saying regarding this topic on X. He is again on the right side.
> When you occupy someone's land, there can never be peace until they get their land back or are fully exterminated or controlled militarily

I don’t understand why people think this is a good argument. Lots and lots of places shifted in control since 1948. Poland moved half a country to the left, world empires got decolonized, India and Pakistan split and then the latter split once more, all with enormous population movements, the list is nearly endless. “All of that should revert to how it was before, even if at the cost of kicking out or killing everybody who live there” is a pretty extreme revisionist take.

In all these countries, “we should restore our borders to $maximumSizeEver” is widely understood to be a far right take (the Russians want Ukraine, the Greater Hungary people want Transylvania, the Greek neonazis want Trabzon (!), everybody wants Kashmir, etc etc etc). It’s a far right talking point. But for Palestine it’s somehow a mainstream opinion. I don’t get it.

I mean, there’s lots of good arguments to be made for the Palestinian case IMO but I don’t find “they once had more land and therefore they should get it all back no matter the consequences” very compelling.
You mostly beat me to comment the same — you could even doomscroll a newspaper 20 years ago just the same, it just wasn't convenient and common to doomscroll while driving — but…

Oh, if you carry a full bowl of soup in a moving car, I bet it does! If the soup is hot, the notifications can be even harder to ignore than a ringing phone.

From a grid operator perspective its capacity
https://www.energy.gov/ne/articles/what-generation-capacity

Capacity = Maximum Power Output

Capacity is the amount of electricity a generator can produce when it’s running at full blast. This maximum amount of power is typically measured in megawatts (MW) or kilowatts and helps utilities project just how big of an electricity load a generator can handle.
I'd like to see this coded into a browser extension, just to have the experience of seeing whether I notice it affecting sites at various lossiness levels.
I don’t want to defend that too much but usually I see those people looking at the road a lot more than the phone users. It’s still a risk they shouldn’t take but at least they have a chance to step on the brakes.
"in the jungle"

This is relevant. The Aztecs were very able to slaughter the Spanish in the alleys/canals of Tenochtitlan itself:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Noche_Triste

If it weren't for an epidemic of smallpox, the Spanish would have to conquer Tenochtitlan at a very high price in blood. Urban combat negated a lot of the advantages of European steel.
" from social conservatives against LGBT people" Its not just from social conservatives, many social liberals are also in this group. This is adding an inherent bias. Trans-exclusionary feminists(TERFs) will for example have heavy overlap with many of the opinions of of the anti LGBT movent, yet are being excluded.
Yes, precisely. That puts the onus for the fix squarely on the users, who have not created the problem and who likely will mis-identify it. If it were to happen to me - it won't - it would cost me half a day and that's assuming the 'small store in the mall' will be able to do the repair on the spot, which if there is a glut of customers due to this issue may well not be the case.

Inequality Inc: How corporate power divides our world and the need for a new era
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I see comments like this with previous posts on a big number of hackernews posts. Are these auto-generated and what is the point of them?
Is that true in practice and is it more than simply proportional to the power consumed. In the US, most new residential electric services are 200 Amps at 240 Volts. The maximum power that could be drawn would be 48 kW. Seems like the potential variability from a home is already enormous. Conversely, someone with a high capacity connection could have very regular usage patterns
Direct salary comparisons are difficult, and anecdotal statements have little meaning.

In the US, health care, child care, and college education have a greater out-of-pocket component than in Europe. In California the average for childcare is $23,863/year, for example, according to https://www.self.inc/info/childcare-costs-by-state/ , while in at least some European countries it's highly subsidized by the state through taxes.

The anecdata comes from friends of the tweet author in the US and Europe, but we don't know where those friends are from. Is it comparing the Bay Area, CA to Lisbon? Kalamazoo, MI to London? Massachusetts to Estonia?

Could it be the friends in Europe don't talk about their personal life in a work context, so the author doesn't know what they do on holiday?

Even if we accept everything on face value, the tradition in the US is two weeks of vacation and in Europe it's a month of vacation. If the European can only visit the US once every two years, that's still a longer time in the US since there's two fewer days of intercontinental travel. The trip would be less expensive as the two extra days of lodging in the US is less expensive than the extra round-trip cost.

In any case, given the number of Europeans I've seen in the US, including on vacation at a national park, the anecdote sounds suspect.
Discipline and making it a non-negotiable priority in my daily life. For me, a day I don't run is a wasted day, so I like to get it done before other stuff can interrupt. I structure my life to make that possible.

I go run about 10 miles around 4:30 to be done by the time kids need to wake for school. To make that happen, I go to bed before 9:00 every night. It doesn't leave very much time for other activities but I can't say my life was improved by wasting time on personal projects or watching TV.
I wish I had it when I was having an RFI issue in my neighborhood. I ended up with my RTL-SDR hooked up to my mac with a homemade copper-on-tape-on-cardboard yagi, and I looked like I was a tinfoil hat away from being needing to be put away.

Still would have looked nuts with the TinySA, but... less so.
