US considering plea deal for Julian Assange if he admits guilt
Yeah this is the angle I look at the most, the Humans+Internet combo.

I don't believe LLMs will really get us much of anywhere, Singularity-wise. They're just ridiculously inefficient in terms of compute (and thus power) needs to even do the basic pattern-prediction they do today. They're neat tools for human augmentation in some cases, but that's about all they contribute.

I think, even prior to the recent explosion of LLM stuff, that the aggregate of Humans and the depth of their interconnections on the Internet is already starting to form at least the beginnings of a sort of Singularity, without any AI-related topics needing to be introduced. The way memes (real memes, not silly jokes) spread around the Internet and shape thoughts across all the users, the way the users bounce ideas off each other and refine them, the way viral advocacy and information sharing works, etc. Basically the Singularity is just going to be the emergent group consciousness and capabilities of the collective Internet-connected set of Humans.

> We'll need to charge more for some uses of electricity, to incentivise turning AI into traditional software wherever possible.

I don't understand this. This adds bureaucracy and I don't see why different uses need to be charged differently if they all use energy the same.

In other words, if energy costs X per unit, and an inefficient (AI) software takes 30 units and an efficient (traditional) software takes 10 units, then it is already cheaper to run the efficient software, and thus people are already incentivised to do so. There's no need to charge differently. If one day AI turns out to only need 5 units, turning more efficient, then just charge them for 5X. People will gravitate towards the new, efficient AI software naturally then.

Every output word is always appended to the prompt, so if prompt is P then input after W1 (word 1) is output is P W1, then P W1 W2, etc. So, the LLM is only looking at it's own PAST words, not planning ahead.

If you do COT (think step-by-step) then the difference is that it has broken the prompt request/problem down into steps, so while it's still only seeing it's own past words, those now include all of step-1, which helps it generate step-2, etc and eventually combine all steps it generated into a complete answer.

No, they're quite different from each other. NaCl (Sodium Chloride) functions as a flavour enhancer whereas NaNO3 (Sodium Nitrate) functions to preserve foods (among other non-culinary uses). The concentrations of NaNO3 used for food preservation are far lower (and strictly regulated in much of the world) than we normally use for flavouring foods when using NaCl.

The flavour profiles are different, and the limits for consumption are much different as well. Too much of both is dangerous, but too much NaNO3 is arguably easier to reach and more harmful in the short and long term. NaNO3 can lead to immediate issues with hemoglobin production for example. In the longer term, high volumes are carcinogenic.

Your primary concern with NaCl is managing safe blood pressure in the longer term, and in the shorter term, it's relatively easy to avoid toxicity or other more minor complications like dehydration.
> One of the interesting ideas [...] is to run high-speed rail to Moses Lake Airport in Central Washington and just expand there.

While reading this article, I thought about something like that too. Build an airport quite a while away from the big city, and provide a high-speed, maybe even maglev train there. Make it free for customers.

Also, make it very inconvenient for passengers and staff to approach the airport by other means, only allow cargo delivery there through the road network. This disincentives people from e.g. building hotels close to the airport, which would then attract further settlement, which would ultimately lead to noise complaints again.
This seems to be the knee-jerk reaction of many.

Ask HN: Is there a container runner with data capture? OCI "receipt"?
Is there a thing where you can give it a container image, some machine requirements, some input files (maybe in an object store), the output files you want it to capture, the location to put things (maybe a presigned object/prefix url) and it takes care of running the thing and saving the outputs?

It would produce an execution receipt for the computation and seems like something that might be nice to standardize. I know container engines like podman save exit code and logs in a local database, but not outputs. Would also want to capture some info about the execution environment like provider, machine type/stats, etc.

Maybe the saving part could be a poststop hook? Not sure on output format; some things would be small and could be inline with the receipt, others could be a few large files going to individual objects, others a tar/squash of a whole dir from the container.
The other thing though is that even if attachment limit were not a thing, I don’t think it’s spec compliant to send a video codec other than 3GP or whatever the format is formally called (ironically it’s a QuickTime format dating back to when 3G was an exciting up and coming standard and the iPhone didn’t exist).

If you sent an h.264 for instance, many flip phones would be unable to play it. So I think the MMS standard itself is holding us back.

I still blame Apple. If they prioritized the experience of their own customers above the value of the blue bubble in getting teens to bully Android users they could have obviously been the ones pushing a good RCS implementation with carriers by threatening credibly to drop MMS support. Instead they left it to carriers and Google who each screwed things up pretty well.

> US airports always seem to be surrounded by densely populated residential areas

The US in general is very densely built up. The distinct lack of green space in US cities is very noticeable to the non-US observer.

So I think its more of a case that US airports are surrounded by "less" densely populated areas.

> And secondly Us airports always seem to take huge plots of land compared to Euro airports.

With the exception of the limited number of buildings of historical interest, In general the US doesn't do history in its buildings. They'll happily tear stuff down and build a shiny new thing in its place.

As I understand it the whole concept of green belt / urban conservation is also fairly minimal in the US mentality, so large land grabs for building and expansion of airports are easier in the US.

Meanwhile, in Europe, most airports have history and grew organically. And the whole green belt / urban conservation thing is much stronger in Europe. For example, London Heathrow started off life as a single grass runway with a few simple buildings and grew organically over time. Its growth ultimately limited by the city that grew around it, and so you end up with for example the present controversial discussion over the possibility of a third runway. I would hazard a guess that if Heathrow were in the US, the third runway would have been built and operational by now !

Just because there’s some reason for why Apple does not make money from Spotify does not invalidate the fact. Meanwhile, your entire argument depended on a false premise.

And Rhapsody was on desktop way before Spotify. There’s a reason it didn’t take off.

What steep fee? The one that the biggest music streaming company does not pay? How can a fee be both required and uncollected?
> Or not try to shut it down so hard when someone finds a way around to use their API

Find me any other service that would ok with this? Beeper wanted to piggyback on Apple's network _and_ charge users for using Apple's servers for free. Are we going to force companies to provide an open API for all their services _and_ offer them at a reasonable cost? We saw what happened with Reddit and I have no doubt Apple would similarly charge high fees. I'm not saying I think this would be bad thing (forcing open APIs) but it better be a wide sweeping change not something targeted at a single company.

Lastly what are the rules around spam? Where is the line where Apple can tell a client or a company they refuse to do business with them due to the spam/malicious messages they send. Say what you will about iMessage being locked down but I can count on 2 hands max the number of spam iMessage messages I've recieved. On the other hand I get multiple SMS spam messages every day that I cannot unsubscribe from or block (they change numbers with every message). Aside from TOTP (which I wish they'd just let me use my own client instead of sending them) I could block pretty much all SMS and be happier for it.

You are missing the forest for the trees. US cities are smaller in a pedantic sense. That is why planners and intelligent people use Metro area statistics for population, traffic, infrastructure planning etc.

Counting "city population" is nearly a pointless exercise. What matters is the metro area, otherwise you get some pretty useless results. Austin, TX is tenth by city size in the US, with just under a million people, while San Francisco is 17th, with about 800k. But Austin is a much bigger percentage of the total Austin metro area, while the Bay area is ~8-10 million people total. As such, SF feels like a much bigger city in nearly every capacity.
This kind of unicellular complexity & intelligence has long been my soapbox material in the AGI debate. Even long before the current LLM craze, people were counting neurons in the brain and making bold claims about machine intelligence - in just X years, we'll have a machine with the computational power of the brain!

But of course, every neuron in the brain is bafflingly complex and we still don't know or understand how that complexity manifests itself in thought and intelligence. Given physics and the interactions of "things", every cell in the brain is more complex than the LLMs we're using today. Not to say that every cell is capable of producing the same output as an LLM of course, just that the behavior that it contributes to the overall system is that complex.

If they implemented this properly there wouldn't be any need for shim. So talk about ignoring signing requirements is meaningless. Adding single flag in the installed application table not to erase the application settings+icon cache would have been enough.

Using a shim application is a giant hack, allowing to implement this feature by updating only the Google Playstore without modifying the base OS and how it handles application installation and managing process. This is only relevant only because most android phone manufacturers are bad at providing Android updates. Some Google engineer probably felt very clever, that he came up a with a trick which in theory allows adding this feature to older phones that probably won't receive any Android system updates.

Google could have also allowed application developer to sign the shim. That way getting the benefits of archiving feature on older phones, without forcing app developer to give up the key.

> And an airport can’t be too far from a city and remain useful, since travelers need to access the city, workers need to be within commuting distance, and so on. In Canada, Mirabel airport was built 35 miles from Montreal, surrounded by a 79,000 acre buffer zone to prevent any issues of incompatible land use. Mirabel was expected to replace Dorval (today Montreal-Trudeau) as Canada’s main eastern airport, but, in part because of its long distance from the city, this never happened, and Mirabel stopped serving passenger traffic in 2004.

Another relatively new airport built far from the city it serves is Munich airport, located around 33 km (20 miles) from the city center, opened in 1992. The two major candidates for "relatively sparsely populated area" when the airport was planned (back in the 1960s) were a swampy area north of Munich (Erdinger Moos) and a forest to the south (Hofoldinger Forst). They picked the swamp, which leads to frequent fog problems. And they solved the problem of the old airport competing against the new one by simply closing the old airport (the company operating the new one is the same as for the old one, so no protests there). Some equipment was even moved from the old airport to the new one in an overnight relocation. But, as the 30 years from planning to opening show, even this remote location was not without conflicts. And, more than 30 years after the opening, there is still no fast train to the airport. The Munich-Nuremberg high speed railway line could have been routed by the airport, but (according to rumors) this wasn't done to protect the Nuremberg airport. Then there were plans for a maglev train (Transrapid) which were cancelled in the early 2000s. Currently the plan is for an Express S-Bahn line, but since the S-Bahn tunnel in the city center can't accommodate any more trains, this will only be possible when the second S-Bahn tunnel is completed (the date for that keeps getting pushed back, currently it's 2035).
