I dunno if I just haven’t kept up with the arguments on this but they’ve brought up a couple points I’ve never heard before:

Since Apple signs the app, they can modify the app at the behest of a government.
Though unlikely, I understand this point as creating the potential for a MITM attack. Surprised I hadn’t thought of, nor heard this before.

So, say Apple counters with “we would sooner pull the app, rather than modify it…” it leads to the fact that their App Store monopoly prevents users from installing secure communication apps that the App Store’s potentially host government would not allow.

E.g. vpn-type apps to get out of China’s GFW.

That gives… I’ll say “Linux kernel based devices” to including the niche phones, an edge for allowing the option, but not the obligation, to install something out of band.

Users don’t have to do this. They can feel free to CHOOSE to live in walled garden land, in fact most do. I know I do (I’m on iOS).

I hate to bring the crypto world into this, but there was a phrase used to disparage Robinhood’s initial crypto support.

“Not your keys, not your crypto”

I think the spirit of that idea can sort of sum up most of these security objections pretty well.

If I’m not allowed control, it isn’t mine.

Depends how good the AI output is, just like it depends how good the natural output is.

If most of it is bad but you can get a better AI to tag it as bad, then it's not necessarily a problem.
Sounds like it: "The PIC then asked permission to rest from the SIC and was granted. A few seconds later, the PIC slept and the SIC then took over the PIC duty as PM."
Until airlines cease to need a scapegoat, they will keep pilots in the cockpit.
Happens all the time.

Both asleep, though, is a big problem. About ten years ago there was a (Delta?) flight to Vegas (?) with both pilots asleep. They flew past their destination and went on their merry way until a flight attendant check up on them.
Appetite suppression/regulation seems like a much better route to pursue than intentionally inducing malabsorption.
Also, maybe “ludicrous” acceleration made it easy to launch the car into that pond by mistake. It’s a common selling point for EVs now but I think Tesla started the trend.

> deadman switches

Seems like they could address this by just changing procedures.

If one pilot wants to take a nap, require a third crew member to come sit in the cockpit and make sure the other pilot doesn't doze off. When two pilots are awake, they can monitor each other, but if one is (intentionally) asleep, they can't do that, so have someone take over that function.
I recall reading that certain aircraft manufacturers do offer more robust security features if the airlines are willing to pay for them. I don't have a link or source handy, but it's entirely possible that these features have been discussed, but through the lens of how much more would it cost to implement them.
There's no such thing as a world model. People do not have world models.

This is a confused term made up by 70s AI researchers, who had the continual problem that they didn't know any philosophy and kept making up their own metaphors for how intelligence might work, and then deciding that because they'd made it up it must be true, and also that if they wrote a computer program that had the same metaphors it must work.

"World model" just vaguely points at something people might do and assumes that if you make up a new thing it vaguely points at it'd help.
"You've hit your SmarterChild message limit! Please head to [link] to sign up"

How are they stupid? Market theories are a mathematical fact.

If you've got 5 properties and 6 people who need a home people are going to compete with each other until one is priced out. Conversely landlords are going to compete for renters if there are 4 people and 5 properties.

What part of that isn't true?

That's a simple, closed example but the principle is the same. I don't know how anyone can claim that something other than that is true.

But to answer your question, an increase in population increases housing costs. That's how we got here. It's not only migration, it's people having families and changing preferences with more people living alone. But the price pressure is applied unevenly. There is more demand where there is more work, some areas are more attractive to people for non-work reasons too.

But overall prices do go up with an increase in population, one reason why more housing needs to be built, and more housing where people want to live, mostly cities. That will reduce price pressures, provide work for people and generally make the country a nice place to live by reducing housing insecurity.

Just a few hours after it was starting to be brute forced, I'm sure I saw somebody finding the password being used in youtube presentation, perhaps for a related model or bios setup, and that solved the problem much quicker.

I tried it out; it's exactly what I wanted. Postman, as echoed in previous comments, has gotten out of control with the upsell and the confusing UI.

I bought the pre-order, seems like a good deal at $9, that's nearly the cost of a latte around here and if this works out I'll get a lot more use out of it than a latte.

Ok, I've checked code a bit. We use squashfs to pack/unpack OCI Bundle, and for lower layer in OverlayFS.

I don't think USSR did anything specifically bad to Ukraine after ww2, in contrast, Ukraine gained lots of territories, soviets invested heavily in Ukraine, as result Ukraine became leading industrial and technology region of USSR, most developed and educated compared to all others parts of USSR with exception of handful key regions in Russia.

In fact it is common knowledge that before 2014 Ukraine and Russia were brotherhood nations. Ukraine couldn't imagine being attacked by Russia, that's why the army was a joke at that time and Putin took over Crimea so easily.
> The only real downside: weight gain.

Interesting. I'm an uncle to a family member with CF (and I'm a carrier) and one of their long battles has actually been weight. To the point of doing things like downing olive oil to try and keep up the weight. They've eventually had to take the fairly drastic measure of getting a feeding tube installed. Getting enough calories in just hasn't been possible until the feeding tube.
It's not surprising that people don't know how GPT-4 works, because they don't have access to the model. Thus making it not an LLM but instead an API to a text generating oracle.

> - there are long waiting times for first-hand contracts,

Lol... yes. Given that Stockholm has 15 year waitlists I think that you could say that the "waiting times" can now be measured in literal lifetimes. If you wanted to spend your 20's in Stockholm... best we can do is get you there in your late 30s, when you settle down.

From: https://qz.com/264418/why-its-nearly-impossible-to-rent-an-a...

>There are two main factors underlying this phenomenon. First, the city wait list for a new apartment is now 15 years on average, or 7.7 years in the Greater Stockholm region. Second, Stockholmers live alone. Very alone. In fact, Sweden has the lowest number of persons per household in the OECD, with just 1.99 persons per household, compared to the OECD average of 2.63. And in Stockholm, that numbers is 2.1, almost the lowest for any capital in the world, while the average household size comes in at 41 sq m, on par with other countries.
On what basis are you saying that? I have a model in my head mapping out the world around me, so I know where things are etc and what I can do with all those things. How is that not a world model? Are you using a very strange definition of "world model"?
Immigration also increases the size of the economy, so wages are not necessarily affected in direct proportion. There is the question of existing demand for labor (there may be a relative shortage) and where the labor goes/is needed. But as the economy grows more jobs are created, and the economy may become more productive.

If the economy is bad you'll get also emigration to some extent.

Seriously, unless you're from a well-off family, have joined the military, or have a well-paid spouse, even making the schooling free would require borrowing living expenses.
Worth bearing in mind that housing markets are not so much driven by supply and demand, but by propensity to pay by the people who want to live or own property there. SF is expensive because tech salaries are really high. London is expensive because that is where funny money wants to park itself. Lisbon is expensive because tourists can pay a much higher fee per night than locals (because a tourist will only pay that fee for say 2 weeks of the year).

The Importance of Object Permanence
If you gave them a lathe, I wonder what they would have made.

That confused me because in Spanish, the same word is used for a potter's wheel. Anyway that would be more recent too. But I think that there's a long prehistoric period, between stone tools and stone buildings, that we know very little because they used wood, more than anything else.

Not sure I would call it "genius" or the emergence of latent "talent", terms which suggest a positive judgment of the work produced... Rather it seems like obsession.

I actually did get checked out by a series of doctors at Mount Sinai (After months of nightmare with the VA) who did a battery of tests including an ambulatory EEG, CT scan, MRI, etc. and came back with: “Basically your brain looks perfect so this is confusing.”

This was after two severe tonic colic seizures, which put me in the hospital with a half bitten tongue and dislocated shoulders.

The initial thinking was epilepsy, but after the ambulatory EEG, and absolutely no history of epilepsy or anything of approaching epilepsy, she’s basically said “everything looks healthy, I have no clue what’s going on, so call me if you feel like you’re dying again.”
The two would have to fall asleep at the same time though. Otherwise, as soon as the SIC falls asleep, the third one would trigger some special protocol (like a kick in the tibia)

It’s something you can train yourself to get better at. At least in my experience:

1. Get a tough problem

2. Read all the surrounding information about it. If a solution doesn’t appear then it’s distraction time

3. Go do something completely unrelated for a while. I like to tinker with something mechanical but listening to music or doing exercise both work. Anything where you can get a decent flow going works for me.

Quite often just after I have finished with the distraction I get a good idea about the original problem. It used to be about 50/50 whether this would work for me but it’s now around 80/20.

Like anything it takes practice and you need to find the right distraction for you
Maximum rates of increase per year is a type of rent control. It is, where I live, based on inflation, tax increases and investment in the building.

And you may have "fixed that for me" by rephrasing what I said but you also did not address what I had brought up before you fixed it up.

Do you think people being driven out of their homes and neighbourhoods by rapidly increasing housing costs a problem?

If so, we can discuss about the means to mitigate it. If not, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.
In addition to the other reasons - if someone is going to be qualified to fly the plane as backup, they need regular hours of practice. They could get that in a simulator perhaps, or flying practice flights, or ... by flying the actual plane.

What about direct government funding? Isn't that a reasonable alternative? Maybe not a politically-popular one, but I wouldn't be surprised if health care overall would be cheaper under a system where pharma research is done with public money, and then isn't allowed to be patented. Might even in save enough money to avoid much in the way of extra taxes to fund it.

Hell, a lot of medical research is funded (in part) by public dollars, and then the results get locked up behind patents for years, which is gross.
@dang Someone seems to be going around maliciously flagging comments all over HN recently, including in this post. Could you take a look? Thanks.
I did delivers up and down the Atlantic in 2000s I remember it being awesome. Granted I was 20 and like the time we got too close to a us aircraft carrier and they launched a helicopter that did a fly over to check us out that was pretty great. We also always had lines out to catch fish and let me tell you when that line caught something didn’t matter if it was your shift or not it was “fish on” everyone jumping out of their bunks to help. Best fish tacos ever. I do remember the captain could be pass out drunk and still dock the 70 footer without issue and then stumble below to pass out. But yeah we slept a lot too but underway maybe 6-7 so plenty of time to fix or react big difference from an airplane or even autopilot car
https://asciiflow.com/#/ works pretty well.
I've found the self-steering of new cars to be not at all useful for the stated use case. In my car, the self-steering pushes back a bit and deviates from the course ever so slightly so that you have to keep your hands on the wheel. I'd rather steer it myself.

But in those moments where I'm trying to find the UI for adjusting some climate setting, and I don't have my eyes on the road, that's when the self-driving is useful.

Maybe technology creates its own problems. To be fair, the radar cruise control is nice for long drives.
I think you're misunderstanding what I mean by "quality" in this context. It's not quality as in something like meat, it's quality as in "a quality education". Does it go above and beyond vs. do the bare minimum to address the scientific question proposed by the authors.

Something can appear to be of very high quality and yet still be completely fraudulent. This occurs in countless fields; art, counterfeit money, deepfakes, etc.

Scientists are attempting to address fraudulent research in other ways, but peer review is not the best means for it and it should not be thought of in that way.
i can beat this. my dad was an RAF Vulcan captain and he and his entire crew fell asleep overflying Indonesia going from Australia to UK (they had being delivering to Australia a rocket component in the Vulcan's capacious bomb bay). the flight over Indonesia was completely illegal, but the crew figured that the Indonesian radars could not track the Vulcan (early stealth) and their fighters could not intercept it.

anyway, everyone woke up (reason for sleep never identified, afaik - i suspect hangovers)

this would be mid-60s.
This is anecdotal and my personal observation. Otherwise, everything else is pretty unpredictable for me to care enough. :-)

The existing action is to maintain current settings. A flight in Australia flew across the continent that way, after (theory says) somehow depressurizing during takeoff so everyone passed out.

IMO that story shows that unless you do the remote control option (which I see as unlikely) it doesn't matter what happens...what can anyone outside the plane do except crash it earlier?

While I'm certainly not making the argument that "audiobooks aren't real books" (and I think nobody did), it's naive to think that audiobooks are in every way the same or better than reading it yourself, in the end it's always about different trade offs.

Listening to audiobooks is reading the book in someone else's pace. Reading the book on your own, you are reading at your own pace.

You can look up from your book and reflect on what you read, think about how this new information explains things you observed in the past, think about how it could be used in the future. You didn't get something, you just read it again. You realized you didn't get things in the last two pages, you just go back two pages. A sentence is so deep, you need to walk around and think about things for ten minutes? You just stand up and do it.

(I know you can do the same with audiobooks but it's more inconvenient)

Listening to an audiobook and following someone else's pace also has its advantages (remember different tradeoffs), for example if you are easily distracted, the audiobook continuously playing can help you refocus and read through the book faster, not to mention being able to "read" while in motion, driving, cycling, working out.
No, why would that be? Auto-immunity comes from immune cells targeting healthy cells, and the mRNA peptide translations do not correspond to healthy cells.

We're already at that point though, at least in the developed world. Everyone's fed, clothed and housed even if they earn no money. But people still want money! They want more than the minimum. If we all have those yachts and personal factories, that'll be the default for unemployed people and everyone will still want money for whatever the poorest still can't afford, which I guess might be paying other people to do things, just like it currently is.

If humans really do become completely redundant, then maybe we've reached the end state of humanity and might as well just die out.
