>It isn't implying that they owned the mine

That's what "venture funding" is, by definition.

>It isn't implying that they owned the mine or were able to build their businesses from the gains from the mining

It isn't clear why this distinction should matter, ethically speaking.
Given that the U.S. hasn't invaded DRC where the majority of the world's cobalt is mined and whose mines are mostly controlled by the PRC, an invasion of Zambia seems highly unlikely.
Seems to be no transcript.
GitHub actions must have eaten most of the DevOps tooling market. It’s pretty good and it’s fine for the vast majority of pipelines.
This nuance seems extremely unlikely to come up with anything the article discusses
I've been thinking the same thing. It'll be interesting to see if we end up with prompt-injecting ads
> There were years that I was working at most 4 hours a day. Now it's closer to the full 8 but the pace of the day is not grueling.

This is my experience too, it's really not bad working a full 8 if you have good coworkers and nobody expects you to work more. It's just that you really have to be cognizant about not letting it creep in. 8.5 hours a day added up over a year of work is a lot more work, less free time, and overall not that much more productive that just 8 but I find it's hard to really limit myself to 8 when I'm in the throws of work for a day. My goal this year is to literally close my computer when the clock strikes 5 and only glance at my phone a couple times in case an emergency comes up.
The main differences fundamentally come down to OpenAI treating it more like a party trick demo, rather than a core functionality. I think it has a lot of potential if I can just fine tune a couple rough edges. (When you chat with someone in person, you don't pull out notebooks a write messages to each other. I see writing as a fallback medium.)

To answer your question more specifically,

Pro Bonamiko:

- Faster average first response latency (but higher first audio latency since OpenAI uses a ding). This is the main focus currently, reducing latency as much as I can. I'd like to be able to avoid the ding, but we'll see how low I can get it.
- Can be used anywhere with a browser, OpenAI requires a mobile app installed. (I.E. Desktop support)
- In the future we can support deeper customization since we are focused on the audio medium. As soon as you have to run a function in the ChatGPT app there is a long response latency, which could easily be fixed by something as simple as the AI saying "Let me perform a search to get the details"

Pro ChatGPT:

- Nice animation
- Already has built in tool support such as web search
- Supports language switching automatically between messages, Bonamiko requires manually changing the language
Tesla sells cars to most states D2C so while I agree it is unfortunately illegal in some places, it doesn't seem to be omnipresent. I think mainstream vendors are just slow to sacrifice their relationships with dealers, who are currently 100% of their sales.
If your employer doesn't offer time for professional development, they are a bad employer, and you should look for one that does.

The unfortunate reality is that the last few years have shown that a lot more companies are bad employers than had shown their true colors before.
I was surprised how high your costs were. I assume you are putting the entire transcript into each prompt, but even then that seems high. Is GPT's planning also taking up a lot of room?

I did find giving GPT some hints about the known commands helped a lot, and I put in some detection of error messages and kept a running log of commands that wouldn't work. Getting it to navigate the parser is kind of half of the skill of playing one of these games. It would be interesting to have it play some, then step back and have it reflect and enumerate things about how the play itself works.
Is the dilemma actually false, in actual practice?

I understand there is an infinite number of possible policies, but in a representative democracy there are usually only a couple possible policies to choose from.

What is the actual thing that will happen if the Supreme Court rules one way or another in the Chevron thing?
And the people opposing the Chevron doctrine are pushing for "let Congress vote on everything forever only".

And the Chevron doctrine is not "unelected agency heads rule your life" - remember those agency heads can make rules because Congress said they could. By doing nothing, Congress implies approval. If Congress doesn't like what they're doing, Congress can easily pass a law overriding it or even abolishing the agency.
Java has an official language evolution process where plenty companies take place on, several implementations and an official language specification.

Rust is yet to have at least two fully working implementations, and language specification is ongoing.
yes, my comment was US-centric.

if two uninsured people hit each other then they sue each other, they come up with an agreement on money exchange, or they both go about their business and pretend it didn't happen.

at least in the US, the only difference between two uninsured people hitting each other and one or both having insurance is the party doing the suing changes.

of course, injuries complicate matters but it's all roughly the same. Someone has to pay, which likely means litigation without a gentlemans agreement.

But if someone doesn't have insurance what's the chances that you suing that person is going to actually recoop your money? right, probably not going to happen. That makes it a business risk for insurance companies that end up having to fix their customers car but not being able to recoop that money. So they convinced law makers to require insurance so the chances of that happening are far less.

^ to better explain what I was trying to say before.

People will pay for uninsured motorist protection and _under_ insured motorist protection. under insured typically means an injury happened but the other persons insurance policy doesn't cover injury (liability) or the medical bills exceed what they do cover.

Think about that racket. They insure you but don't want to insure you without being able to fully recoop their money so they charge YOU to cover the case where the other drivers insurance won't cover it all.

it's a frickin' racket. If it's required by law it needs to be covered by the state or the insurance companies themselves need to be required to cover it. Anything else and it causes undue harm to everyone, most especially those who cannot afford insurance in the first place.
Isn't that only very hot (scalding) beverages like Argentinian smoked mate though? And there's evidence that smoked mate causes esophageal cancer, so have we even isolated that it's just the very hot part of mate? I haven't seen evidence of typical tea/coffee temperature beverages causing esophageal cancer.

> It USED to be a very valid disadvantage across the board to have a minority race or skin color

I completely agree that this used to be the case. I might even argue that it is still true to an extent. I will also agree that we should still address it. My problem is when addressing it involves discriminating against asian Americans like me. The people who want to discriminate against asian Americans are just using "historical disadvantage" as an excuse, their actions are political/ideological.
Of course standardized test performance correlates with test performance a year later when someone arrives at a college or university. That's the wrong question to be asking ourselves.

This discussion is maddening to me because it assumes that what colleges and universities should optimize for is test performance, full stop.

I've never been a strong test taker, but I gained a lot from my time in college and I've done objectively well in my career. The way colleges, universities, and some of the people commenting here are willing to limit access to education and life-changing opportunity based on one narrow measure is antiquated and narrow-minded.

If I had to give advice to someone who is motivated and interested in higher education but doesn't perform particularly well on standardized tests, it would be to feel no shame in doing whatever it takes to find your way through or around the arbitrary barriers like standardized tests that are going to be put in front of you.
I think this will be well received in the personal keyboards community (I will like to see how to design the PBC for custom keyb!)

Another way to look at it. Hopefully the find brings the price of copper down so it is less attractive to thieves who steal it and interrupt infrastructure projects.

I wasn't focusing on the issue. I was just asking if 2L/day is normal when I'm much closer to 4L/day. I can now recognize when I'm low on my intake, and 2L is definitely low for me. So I was asking more from curiosity if I'm the outlier or if the 2L/day is the outlier.

As with all things medical, it looks like the answer is "it depends on the specific patient"
That makes an unreasonable assumption that everybody across the whole industry is not just competent and can be trusted to have it together, but they also manage to achieve their important goals (which are not always having the cleanest code or architecture) using the same architectural dogmas as you do. One can define a datatype as FormattedValue | null, make a tuple of (value, present), have a special empty value or do all of that at once, because parts of the dataset were separately inherited during the merger.
Show HN: Generate your own "movie trailer" with AI
This is a toy project I've been hacking on, and it's a bit rough around the edges, but I'd love for people to try it out! https://aitrailers.xyz

Some examples of videos people have generated:

* An action movie starring a corgi: https://aitrailers.xyz/examples/paws-of-power

* A children's movie about a mischievous monkey: https://aitrailers.xyz/examples/cheeky-monkey

* And a "thriller" my friend Mark generated about how he lost one of his Airpods in a tissue box: https://aitrailers.xyz/examples/marks-lost-earbud

So far it's been fun to see what people have come up with, but the quality of the output varies quite a bit... I'd love to get any feedback on the app so far, and also curious if anyone has any advice on the following:

* What is the best way to improve character consistency across images? (I currently just try to construct each image prompt such that a vivid visual description of the main character and the overall aesthetic is the same across images, but I've had limited success with this.)

* Have any other tools caught up to GPT-4 and DALL-E for things like this? (I've tinkered with some models on Replicate, but nothing is quite as good as OpenAI's APIs as far as I can tell.)

* Are there any good "wrappers" for ffmpeg? I'm currently using a combination of ffmpeg and moviepy, but it surprises me that there isn't an "easier" way to generate videos. (Ffmpeg is super powerful, but it’s API is a bit unintuitive)
Rubbish. We started Cygnus as a bootstrap and were continuously profitable and reached over 160 people before considering taking outside money to change the growth curve.
My point about the taxes was just frustration. Buy and sell a car 100 times, pay taxes on it 100 times. It's theft.
I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "space of subsets".

All I was trying to point out was that the argument that proves the recurrence theorem itself uses a volume of space around the initial state, and how "preimages" of that volume work. So it applies to volumes of states, too.

The Lorenz attractor generally avoids the recurrence because its dynamics are dissipative: nothing drives points near the attractor to points far from the attractor.

But once you are on the attractor, you can't just stay on the attractor forever getting "smeared out" without recurrence: you can only get at most smeared out over the finite area of the attractor, and eventually the smearing reaches your initial location on the attractor again.

There is no scenario where Eastern European countries, who had been living under Russian tyranny for several centuries, only recently to secure their independence and security as part of the EU or NATO, are going to unilaterally disarm just to please Russia.

Other countries just managed to join NATO fast enough before Putin lost his mind. Ukraine's mistake was joining too slowly. Now Russia and Ukraine both suffer for basically no reason other than the fantasies of a senile 71 year old man.

>Please note that I'm not asking for a moral judgement because everybody else who may pass it has worse skeletons in their own closet than Russian Ukraine affair.

I don't know if that is true, the Ukraine War stands out as particularly evil. Russia is guilty of particularly evil crimes against humanity in this war that they chose to start.
As always, this is something people should evaluate for themselves rather than assuming a generalized study applies to them in particular.

Myself, my handwriting is awful. It’s slow, illegible, and writing more than a sentence or two physically hurts my hand. It’s been this way for as long as I can remember, and it’s not for lack of practice. I practiced handwriting for sometimes hours a day growing up (not begrudgingly, I was serious about wanting to improve my handwriting), and my parents tried teaching me with different curriculums, different scripts, different techniques, different tools, etc. It was always miserable and my handwriting did not improve. Meanwhile, I can type at 150+ WPM.

So, when taking notes, if I write by hand I can’t keep up with the speaker, miss details because I’m focused on writing, have to skip/abbreviate stuff, and end up with something illegible. If I type, I can properly digest what I’m hearing and write it out with nice Markdown/LaTex formatting, in a file that is legible, searchable, and doesn’t get wrinkled up in my backpack.

I’d love to have better handwriting. The convenience and feel of pencil and paper is great, I don’t like having a screen in front of me while listening to someone talk, and good penmanship is something I respect a lot in others. But I’ve more or less given up on it at this point. If I actually care about remembering something, or want to be able to read it later, typed notes it is.

They own equity in a company that owns part of the mine, they don't own it outright.

On your second point, I thought the whole complaint from people about Elon was that he wasn't actually "self-made" because he benefitted from the gains of the mine and had a privileged upbringing. If you just think owning mines in general is unethical, I'm really not sure what to say.
> I've leased 3 Nissan Leafs from the same salesman because he has a no-bs pricing model. What he advertises is exactly what you pay, no additional fees or anything. He earned a bunch of #1 salesman of the year in the world awards precisely because of that, so maybe others have something to learn.

This is what Saturn did in the 1990s across the entire brand and customers loved it.

Then they stopped making their own cars. The Saturn Ion was a Chevy Cobalt with a Saturn badge. But that doesn't work because they can't set the Saturn price in a way that saves both the customer and the dealer the trouble of haggling or customers wouldn't go to the Chevy dealer, whereas if they set the same MSRP for the same car then customers go to the Chevy dealer so they can haggle for a discount. And you can't split the difference or customers self-select and nobody pays MSRP at the Chevy dealer. Then when that didn't work they discontinued the brand instead of going back to the original model.
Could be worse, could be Java. At least in terms of container size, cold start times and overhead at runtime. And I know there are options for AOT, etc. that are all more complex to configure than Deno build.
It sounds like this also covers outside of the actual trial.

Why is this a good thing? Shouldn't cops be able to lie and put pressure on suspects?

Messaged a friend to see if he'd be coming to my 20th birthday party. His sister answered back that he'd left his phone at home. Asked if she wanted to come too. Kept texting with her for a few days, made plans for a date... got pissed and slept together a week before said date. But it worked out and we've been together for 20 years.
Sure, keep on dreaming
I don't know if that's accurate either. In any case, his reading corresponded the speed I was going (within the margin of error for a speedometer, which can be large), and it was calibrated, so I signed the citation and paid the fine.

Again, if cops are actually going around setting values to get citations, there are larger systemic problems. Also, many vehicles have GPS and other datalogging showing actual speeds, so if the cop is faking the numbers, that's going to start showing up in court.

>Copper is expensive.

The double-edged sword is, this also makes it famously dirty. This is structural, not incidental. An iron deposit is only viable at 20% iron (4 tons of slag for every ton of product), but copper is viable at 1% (99 tons of slag for every ton of product).
I was thinking the same thing (I'm an EE by day). I think this idea is very cool, but since the dawn of time schematics and PCB layout have always been visual because you are actually building a physical thing. Its easy to see hardware bugs in schematics visually. However, it might be very hard to track it in code, unless the code is one day smart enough to find the bugs for you. You have to hold more context in your head that you cant export to your visual senses when its written as code. You cant see the actual circuit flow.

edit: just wanted to double down on this being very cool though. i dont mean to deflate this project and I'm about to design a pcb for a personal project - I might give this a go for fun. the promise is there and asthe project and feature set grows i can see it being the way forward.
Asphalt exists because bitumen is a cheap oil industry byproduct. If we stop processing massive amounts of oil(as will happen soon) the source of bitumen will dry up. What then?
Prosecutors are absolutely immune. Brady violations only invalidate the underlying case and in really egregious cases, ruin future careers in politics, but it doesn't create criminal liability going the other way. Police have qualified immunity, prosecutors have absolute immunity, as long as the charge is something that constitutes their quotidian work.

Private prosecutions do exist, but not on a federal level, and anything falling under the purview of the CFAA - which is the umbrella that hangs over all computer-access-related crimes, is federal by definition. Besides, with parallel construction, they can always legally reverse-engineer a legally sound rationale that doesn't violate the 4th Amendment or what-have-you. However, while prosecutors are absolutely immune, the police are not and therefore are subject, occasionally, to federal-level liability either criminal or civil, although the prevalence of police perjury - testilying, as commonly known - is both an academic niche that has produced plenty of papers and have achieved virtually nothing in the real world. The term came into the public consciousness in 1994 and as late as 2018 I've heard it bandied about by cops in a courthouse. Prosecutors need the cops to investigate (public defenders' have a much smaller team of investigators if you're lucky, but even then anything technical is hopefully something you know enough about to find the right expert and conduct a competent cross examination. The police, of course, have the first mover advantage and so they can set up the fall guy who is already pension-eligible and move their assets out of their name before getting tossed in the gentlest way possible under the minivan. I wasn't involved with the case but the classic WA case involving the police using all of their tools available to rearrange the narrative surrounding a murder caught on camera and a federal prosecution is the Otto Zehm case. I had the luck to see what happened at sentencing and it was frankly sickening. https://www.spokesman.com/topics/otto-zehm/

So, police do get prosecuted, but only below the federal level, and extremely leniently, and if weren't for the video it probably wouldn't have happened. Ten years for a murder caught on video is crazy considering that the feds were giving out pleas of 8 years for "trafficking" 4 pills of Oxycodone before fent got into the supply (also thanks to the feds, as it was entirely supply driven) and ten years after leaving WA I still have former clients incarcerated for much more ambiguous fact patterns and convicted after multiple mistrials. As for the feds, now that Bivens is basically dead, even their own IG reports read like lurid crime novels written in the most lawyerly way possible. And if they're really in trouble, creating a moral panic always works. It had worked so far.
With basic income, presumably more people will want to run charities. Next you end up with everybody competing for how much charity they give - this happens already. Go to a charity store and look at who works there and why.

You'd be guilt/tripped and pressured by your well meaning peers.

And the only upper limit on how much charity we can give is the number of hours we have free. This spirals out of control in some groups (e.g. some religious charitable organisations or orders)

Public defenders would need resources akin to or larger than the prosecutor's office in order to take on this role. I don't know that there has ever been a time in America where the public cared more about defending the wrongly accused than convicting the genuinely guilty, but if there was it surely isn't now.
