I don't think you should reevaluate it in that context. Golden age science fiction assumed what we seem to be now calling AGI and still don't know how to create. What we're now calling artificial intelligence (thanks to OpenAI) is effectively an advanced version of autocomplete with infinite computing power behind it. It's incredibly inefficient, and if we ever build AGI we'll look back at AI like people looking back at the earliest manual typewriters without shift keys or lowercase.

For golden age sci fi theories of human work vs leisure to actually take hold, we need universal basic income, or some other monetary theory that allows us to value other people for being alive rather than solely for being feudal slaves of deranged billionaires.

"Hotel maid" as a job really shouldn't exist when robots can do it better and more consistently (which isn't true yet). At that point, not before, should be considered beneath human dignity. But we definitely need an answer for what happens to the newly undignified human.
My question was entirely rhetorical. If you save files to OneDrive, they are backed up, with complete version history through the retention period. You have a local copy and a copy in the cloud. I think peoples’ understanding of what these services actually do is very out of date.
If the actually set a time limit, they would notice the vast majority of candidates failing. I took a test like this for a job application once, I had 180 minutes for a task that took an hour to actually implement, and I spent another 30 minutes testing.
I usually pay about the equivalent of a few dollars to send Bitcoin transactions.

This system works cross borders, any time of day all days of the year.

Bitcoin may not be useful for everyone, but it is available for everyone in a way that traditional banks are not. And this is a far greater strength than a lot of people realize.
It depends on the state, Virginia definitely has felony murder. But the guy was just charged and convicted with plain old first degree murder. Intentionally driving your car into a crowd would seem to make that an open and shut case.

The felony murder statue would apply if say, he had some accomplice, who also committed a separate felony during the commission of the crime (like for instance, they had stolen the car), but it couldn't be proved that he was also complicit in driving the car into the crowd. But since the indirect cause of the death was the accomplice's aid in stealing the car, he could get charge with felony murder.
I forgot where I saw that, but generally, improving things for people with disabilities improves things for everyone, like making sidewalks wheelchair friendly helps parents with a stroller, or people carrying heavy stuff, walking with a cane, young children on bicycles, people who can't see well...
>versus cutting corners, the comprehensive nature of SN’s opsec seems to imply it’d show up in a lot of small ways like lying about Linux.

I'm not sure if I'm explaining myself poorly, or if we're maybe just speaking past each other, or I'm not understanding you.

You're saying that not lying about linux capability would be "cutting corners".

I'm saying that not lying (in this specific situation) would be the better opsec, and that anyone serious about opsec against government-level adversaries would not bother lying about such a mundane detail because it is all risk with no benefit to opsec. This concept was taught to me at a previous job where the adversaries were of the same magnitude as governments, and I'm confident that anyone seriously into the opsec/prviacy "scene" would concur.

Satoshi was, obviously, careful about opsec. Therefor I do not think they would lie about such a trivial and vague detail such as saying someone else is more linux capable than they are, because it would be a risk to lie about it compared to not lying.
I just started using one of OpenAI's Assistants to turn unstructured job listings into structured JSON with inferred scores on dimensions that are aligned with my preferences and my attached resume.txt file.

Right now, I have to copy+paste my input and outputs, but my next task will be to write a Tampermonkey script to automate it.
> She notes that children who have learned to read and write by tapping on a digital tablet “often have difficulty distinguishing letters that look a lot like each other or that are mirror images of each other, like the b and the d.”

Not saying the broader claims of the article aren’t without merit, but the sentence quoted was true long before ubiquitous touchscreens (mid 90s, and long before then too I imagine)
That's why I'm asking, what are these reasons that need to be balanced against?
That's a few joints as best, are we really declaring people as hopeless addicts for having more than a handful of joints on them? This seems similar to saying someone should never be allowed to have more than an 1/8th of alcohol on them at any time. Seems silly when put in perspective of what drugs are quantities are already legal.
Ahh, the magic of relativity, confusion
Scratching is not a problem from a health point of view (it will of course impair the non-stick performance). PTFE is extremely unreactive. If you scratch off some and accidentally eat it you'll just excrete it unchanged. Overheating can be a problem because it can produce potentially harmful decomposition products. It's especially risky if you cook at high temperatures, e.g. for searing meat, or if you use cookwear that doesn't distribute the heat well and develops hot spots. I recommend using an IR thermometer to learn how you cooking setup behaves. The most conservative maximum safe temperature I've seen claimed is 200C, and careful and gentle cooking shouldn't exceed this.
50 Years Later: Remembering How the Future Looked in 1974
In the decent chance situation that satoshi was close to death(now well dead) he may have not cared that much about minor criticisms such as adoptability.

He was inventing a cryptosystem first and a pragmatic economic thing second(or third, or more).

He does not strike me as a person who thinks that much about money, more about his upcoming death and what legacy he wants to leave.
> I guess there are good reasons he sees. I definitely see them too.

I'm interested in knowing what those reasons are.

For reference, Google is pretty much 50% white European and 50% Asian. In leadership roles, the split is 70-30.
The agency that approves medical devices warns people with serious medical conditions that using devices that haven't passed their standards is a risk. What a shocker.

As the article says, tech companies have been able to get FDA approval for the ECGs on smart watches. Tech companies should do the same for any other medical features they want to sell.

I am glad to have stringent standards that are upheld and enforced.
The stand up meetings make so much sense to me but when I’m in them they feel really worthless.
Ditto, I was building a Windows desktop and spent hours faffing around attempting to follow official Microsoft instructions even with another Windows computer available; in desperation tried Rufus Installer, worked on the first attempt. Then months later was building another desktop and went straight to Ventoy installed from Linux and just dropping a downloaded ISO on the USB stick -- worked immediately.
kinda true. A lot of users were targeted by outing themselves as having crypto wealth.
I don't think they're doing any cleanup in the first place, so they can't save money by skimping.
Just use a live USB. New USB-3.0 external drives are fast. Then you can just switch boot device when BIOS starts and switch OS without needing chainloader. GRUB very stable these days, but if you don't want any hassle at all, this will be completely separate.
I wonder this as well. In my experience, dogs have a MUCH easier time learning hand signals than learning verbal cues. I wonder if dogs would generally be capable of learning many more words if they were taught in sign language.
It really is just an argument from people who assume that they won't live to see the consequences of their actions. They care about today, and today the dropping population in many countries hits the bottom line of some very rich people and organizations.
There is the concept of easements. Probably not as familiar to the suburban person, but out in the boonies, it is allowed for you to use another person's property to get to your property if there is no other access to your property. For example when your property doesn't have direct access to a road unless using your neighbor's access. Lots of country properties "share" a dirt road
I LOVE the name. What's the problem?
Of course, but this is take home with a completely unenforceable time limit. Well, you can enforce it to some extent as someone mentioned. If you give the test friday and say two days, and they turn it in a week later, they've obviously blown the limit.
What’s to say this isn’t our own state sponsored propaganda?

I know I'm breaking the HN etiquette by pointing this out, but your post history suggests that you are indeed quite inflamed about race nothingburgers.
Counter: RAID is the backup between your other backups. A backup is, in the end, anything you turn to when you have some kind of failure. Which is appropriate depends on the type of failure. RAID is there for your hardware failures; "tape style" (how does one phrase this?) is there for your data deletion. (One could argue that a missing tine of the trident would be checksums, for data corruption)

Example: A small company with data they find important but it isn't a great volume and they don't have a huge budget. They do a backup of everything once every week or month (it doesn't matter).

Should a drive fail, the backups could be handy, but who wants to lose days of work? And so people turn to RAID.

Note that as your strategy/need evolves toward continual backups, backup and RAID begin to merge, expensively.
My lived experience is just wildly different from yours and stretches from shortly after 9/11 to about 2019 when I swore off partitions.

> The only time I ever had any boot issues is when I was mucking with Grub configs and I didn't really know what I was doing.

Why were you mucking with Grub configs? Because something went wrong.

Why did you know what you were doing? Because it was far from the first time something had gone wrong.

Beware the rose-tinted glasses.
Man, I disagree.

Some prior comments said those architectures lack the memory or something of a transformer. That there’s a weakness that’s keeping people using transformers. If true, I’d like to also see tests of various domains with equivalent transformer and Mamba designs to see if that difference impacted anything. From there, we’d have a better idea about whether Mamba-176B is worth the money.
Why? If someone will not use an app because it has a silly sounding name, or because they're so immature that "butt" is objectionable to them, I'm happy not to have them bring that attitude into a social space I'm part of.
This sort of bespoke automation ~~is~~ was expensive.
Satoshi Anticipated Bitcoin Energy Debate in Email Thread with Collaborators
We remember scents. We remember how chocolate smells. We do not smell well enough to associate smell with a particular object. Then, in turn, our brains are not hardwired to associate specific smells to specific objects.

Look at our memory for faces. It isn't all about eyesight. Our brains have specific circuitry for faces. Dogs have the same for smell. Sensitivity is one thing, how the brain is wired is another.
Not really. Bitcoin could scale much more if developers weren't married to the idea of second-layer scaling and the extreme aversion to hardforks.
Seems like the main differentiator for Tauri is building plugins and features in Rust, no? Otherwise the core architecture will be the same as Capacitor and other projects as that is dictated by the SDK support on each platform (especially iOS).
P(B|I saw E, P) = P(I saw E|B,P) * P(B|P) / P(I saw E|P)

P(B|E was false, I saw E, P) = P(E was false|B,I saw E,P) * P(B|P,I saw E) / P(E was false|P, I saw E)

This is a pretty basic application of Bayes' theorem.
Nice, hopefully Linux gamers with Nvidia GPUs will be able to replace Nvidia's blob soon enough with nouveau + nvk + zink.
in my country fedex isn't popular, but I had one international package delivered by them and I was very positively surprised because they paid duties for me to speed up process and invoiced me that costs.
> This is pretty funny to me. The forum users immediately point out problems that have in retrospect have kept Bitcoin from becoming mainstream, and which always struck me as notable flaws of the design.

If you like that feeling, you'd love digging through historical magazine, newspaper, and book archives. The Harper's Magazine archive is especially great for this, since it stretches back 150 years and always published analysis on newsworthy happenings.

For almost every trouble in the present, you can cite people loudly anticipating it when whatever new political event/initiative, technological innovation, etc first arrived on the scene. It doesn't mean critics should always be deferred to just because they're often right, but it does mean that you can do a lot of preparing for the future by reading what they warned was coming.
>: I'll just have an AI in my browser read / look at / watch / "experience" your content and then launder away any and all ads in its presentation to me... I can even have it make extreme edits if required, rebuilding the audio and video, to remove subtle bias your content wants to infect me with due to sponsorship deals.

Ehh sure, but then websites have no incentive whatsoever to publish content. The future you're describing is one where:

- Only the big players operate (more centralized)

- Only walled gardens, because who would publish content publicly for everyone to ingest and then modify, with no gain whatsoever?

- More arms race to create DRM to prevent ad blockers, or deals with browsers not to tamper with specific sites (so, more centralization)

What you're proposing makes no sense, and will only deteriorate things further in the long run.

While we've got you, any chance you'll attend another demoparty here in Germany? :)

Big thanks for your awesome blog, learnt much from it over the years.
Just watch out. Sometimes AMD's ROCm support for their consumer GPU can be only 4 years (like the RX 580). So if you're not buying cutting edge on release day that means you have ~2-3 years max of ROCm support. And then you have to use opencl and let me assure you: it's not fun or widespread.
The government definitely, maybe land owners, I don't know a lot about English law. The rights of way that are in continuous use aren't really the subject of this conversation, it's the ones described here that are currently inaccessible.
I know nothing about robotics, but can someone ELI5 why the robot makes so many extraneous movements? E.g. the video that shows it moving Takis from the desk to the nightstand, it approaches the desk, and then the arm mechanism moves all the way down (an unnecessary maneuver), then rises again before reaching the level needed to pick up the Takis.
"This is crazy, Jillian just scheduled three separate four hour meetings for next week. We'll never get everything wrapped up by the deadline."

"Look, Jillian isn't going to actually be in those meetings. I caught her talking to the prompt department the other day. She's sending an AI to waste as much of our time as she can and be as annoying and difficult as the bleeding edge allows. Pretty sure this is revenge for Dave's little stunt that he pulled with the sales team last month."

"Okay, so knowing is half the battle and all, but now what?"

"I got the whole team covered. I also had a little chat with the prompt department, we've got a full team of AIs that are going to listen, nod their virtual heads, and distill the whole thing down into a bulleted list. We've got a pool on how many points are actually going to be in there. I've got $20 on there only being one actionable item."

> They hand wave away the fact that it created a billion dollar scam industry

FTFY

It's a currency barely, it has value mostly, as long as people keep believing. But the only "industry" there is is Bitcoin exchanges, and we've seen time and time again how they're run by what kind of people.
First I read Bean programming
The problem is that Dropbox specifically has shown themselves to be unworthy of trust. Remember just last year when they opted everyone into sharing data for AI training purposes without asking? A company that does that is not one I trust with my confidential business information.
Nvidia had the foresight to realize GPU's could be used for more than just graphics and put a lot of effort into CUDA.

Beyond that, there was no crystal ball, rather a useful physical product and software tools to make it accessible beyond a highly specialized set of users (I am not saying CUDA or anything is that accessible, but it makes GPU's useful to more than just game devs).
Alright cool but maybe they can put the exact phrase "IF you put an ampersand in your password, your account will be bricked and we wont help you with it" on the password form.

What do you mean that the analog loophole gets stronger? Are you saying that the AR technology is getting good enough that ad-blocking can be done there instead? That's true, I guess.
You are correct. The input on the wall wart is 100-120vac 1.5a (150watt to 180watt) but the output is only 12.0vdc 4.6a:

55.2 watts

The "xFi Advanced Gateway (XB7)" router is definitely warm to somewhat hot on the outside. The AC here varies from 118vac to as high as 126vac (maximum rating.) Right now it's at 122vac. I think my 185 watt number might have been 123.3vac x 1.5a, or maybe it was the previous "xFi Advanced Gateway (XB6)" which was also a chimney.

I am not an ISP. We work remotely — there is no fiber here yet.
I mean, many articles will have a negative cast because of the need for clicks -- e.g., the Verge's launch article is entitled "Google Gemma: because Google doesn’t want to give away Gemini yet" -- which I think is both an unfair characterization (given the free tier of Gemini Pro) and unnecessarily inflammatory.

Legitimate criticisms include not working correctly out of the box for llama.cpp due to repetition penalty and vocab size, some snafus on chat templates with huggingface, the fact that they're not larger-sized models, etc. Lots of the issues are already fixed, and we're committed to making sure these models are great.

Honestly, not sure what you're trying to get at here -- are you trying to "gotcha" the fact that not everything is perfect? That's true for any launch.
I loved roaming in England. Thinking of the US, how does this relate to squatter's rights? If have the impression that it is risky to let people hang out for too long on your land in the US. It also seems to tie into the problem of homelessness that we have in the US.
I spend lot of time watching birds, and they are really having complex conversations, definitely more than 100 "words" too. And we can say the same about ants, (it's more chemical/touch communication). Basically all animals are smart
I don't understand this. Why did they sign up for a $2000 loan if they could barely afford it?
People who think they're smart then spend 5 minutes to think about a problem and then think they've got it all figured out.

And it's not just about Bitcoin, it happens again and again. It would be amusing, but I'm painfully aware that I fall into the trap myself from time to time.
"Should" is just a curse word.

Same here but when I comment, I check out the article
I think they’re looking at the total amount of money stored/flowing through crypto (or Bitcoin) by taking the strike price and multiplying it by all the coins on the blockchain. Of course that’s not a great measure of value but it is a measure.
The timer starts when the problem is revealed. That's how it worked at a company I previously interviewed at. They sent me a link to a page that explained the 3 hour time limit once the prompt is revealed. I had I think two weeks to choose when to start the problem. It was a totally automated interview
I agree that generalist robots would be better, but building them is really hard (which we know, because we've been trying to build them for decades now). So I think piecemeal robots are the happy-enough medium that we can build to start automating away work today (while we hopefully keep working on the general case).
Ah, to have unlimited time and or options. "Screen the company" is pretty sad advice for most people who have no choices. I must have misunderstood your point.
Noted (I'm actually rural, and have an easement on my own property), but an easement is quite different from a public right of way in the UK. An easement does not create a public right, and (at least in WA state) must be negotiated between the landowners.
Considering that Apple is now >61% of the U.S. smartphone market-share, I would like to know at what magic number you would consider them a monopoly.
There's an entire worldwide underground black market economy of these sorts of things. "Dark web" isn't just a meme. If there's any propaganda it's that it's just China. It's all over the place.
Banks and data companies are moving to biometrics for proof of identity and you may have hit this.

At least 3 credit card companies I use are signed up/using a biometrics/information provider. (they wouldn’t tell me who, despite federal disclosure requirements — I only knew they were using someone because my current accurate info was replaced by info from 7 years ago)

There are companies trying very hard to find out everything from your hair color, facial features, and skin type to your email address and connect them all for everything from identity management to advertising. They are working on getting your payroll data directly from your employer as well, so you will not be able to self declare income in the future. You will know when you run across the companies that use these providers because their data is often wrong or out of date and they usually ask you for a video of yourself holding your id to update it and may even give you a problem then.

The amount of information these companies are collecting and piecing together is scary — one company is tracking major website comment activity and tying it back to their core data sets which has your IRL info.

This means that in the future, you could be denied employment, a mortgage, or an auto loan because of something you said last year in Twitter.
