Doesn't take complicated math to conclude that there's no way a method this inefficient is going to flow anywhere near enough electrons to charge a moving car. It won't get anywhere near enough to keep the thing moving, even.

I feel like I might hold the record for the most absurd AWK success story, which I hope to write up some day.

I wrote the front-end for what became my highest-traffic website (RhymeZone.com) in AWK back in 1996, and it ran for 27 years with just occasional feature additions every few years, serving up to 2 million pages a day from a single medium-size EC2 instance at its peak. Even in 1996 it seemed like a bad idea to make a website in pure awk, but looking back I'm glad I did.
How did they identify him?
How did they get the information (such as the signal screenshot) from the phone?
There is a clone, Pinta.
That's an online meme unsupported by evidence.
Ah yes, I remember Dylan also did an analysis and didn't find any major advantage of Groq.

Yeah, one of the most shocking things I learned as an adult is that work is inversely proportional to salary. It's obvious in hindsight but it's hard to deprogram the lies you were told constantly growing up. Jobs with shit pay are offered by employers who are price sensitive and who are trying to squeeze every little bit of effort out of each dollar.

Take that not even $15/hr line cook and compare it to your software dev hourly and ask yourself are you working 5x harder than they are? Oh fuck no, I'm working less hard most weeks.
Pretty sure this a badly behaving bot (look at the submission history)
You’re correct, but:

1. Just stopping burning carbon isn’t enough. We need to take the existing excess carbon from the atmosphere.

2. It would be rational to move on an emergency basis to renewables + nuclear and burn less carbon in order to save future energy. But….well that’s difficult and we need energy now and humans aren’t famous for being rational all the time or having great long run planning in groups

So either we figure out how to eventually do it with renewables, nuclear or some other method, or we fail
I'll never understand making a post instead of running a quick Google search.

Interestingly I don't think it became a "habit" for me. I'd want to not take it as much as possible, so would avoid it on days I didn't need to cram or finish a big project.

It has some undesireable side effects for me and I think does make me a bit more distant from emotions and empathy in a way that I think is reflected in my interactions. I feel like my communication is a bit more wooden if that makes sense.

Silly question, but is it possible for something similar to MoE for diffusion models like Stable Diffusion / DallE
I have found Pinta (pinta-project.com) is a great replacement that works on Linux. I don't use it very often anymore but last time I did it was basically a drop-in replacement.

No affiliation, just something I have used.
It makes sense he grew up in a shipyard town, big ships are imposing like his art. I’m not sure it was nearly formative, but I feel like he must have been going for something similar to walking through a shipyard, with all of the large ships but also the buildings and equipment and cargo are huge!

what about corporate losses then?
“Wiretap” without additional context is a bit misleading since in conjures an image of listening to phone conversations between employees of the competitor. I think it may be fair to call it wiretapping but it’s different from that image.

They paid users to install an app on smartphones that spied on network requests made by those users. In iPhone this app used OS VPN support to intercept traffic, and a root CA certificate to treat the intercepted connection as legitimate.

“Proxyman” is an iOS app that does the same thing on behalf of the user - it’s super helpful for debugging your own app or reverse engineering someone else’s app. I used it to reverse engineer the API of my smart home gym app Tempo Fitness so I could build my own dashboards from my workout metrics.

Facebook used this technique to “wiretap” the analytics log events that Snap and the other apps were sending to themselves - events probably look like “user swiped to next video after viewing video id=1234 for 3 seconds” or “user clicked ad id=5678”.

Show HN: AI to analyze your survey results
Hi friends,
I made a New AI bot that analyzes your survey data.
Would love to get your thoughts.
I made it to help me analyze surveys for customers of ecommerce stores, and once I got the results of the surveys back, I wanted something to help me find customer clusters and insights, so I built this. Let me know what you think.
I experimented with implementing this manual signaling where the delay between back and forth could be dozens of seconds or even minutes.

I found that you need to call restartIce, which is not typically called in SimplePeer and is not normally exposed.

So as it currently stands, SimplePeer regular version that you can get from the package manager will not support signaling over dozens of minutes. It just won't work.

But it can be made to work if you just call restart ICE, which keeps everything alive.

I discovered this through my own research and experiments.

And you can see the code below. And also, you can fork this repo and read the instructions to get a working version as well.

I think the original idea was basically you can, like, be in your shell and you can run this repo and then you can be chatting with people who come to your GitHub repository. And, the signaling is done over comments and there’s sort of like a comment robot that facilitates that to make it easy.

So long as there are safeguards to ensure this doesn't end up with police just tagging whoever they want in any situation, this is great.

Example safeguards could be:

* Legal rules allowing evidence collected as a result of inappropriate use to be thrown out,

* Transparency reports on use of the devices,

* Requiring authorization from higher ups (with at least an audio paper trail), and/or

* The devices being highly visible.
Right, that notion was what was making me nervous

It's a skip for me.
That’s a good point. Preemptable instance can be insanely cheap. I would guess it’s more efficient for the data center overall to shuttle services around to different nodes as needed.
I was impressed with awk generally, having discovered it by accident as an alternative to bash and node.js for various data wrangling tasks.

The frawk implementation written in rust seemed very fast.

I could not find a good way to emit binary files directly, and settled on using a unix util hex2bin or something like that. If I knew a nice way to handle binary, Id program more in awk.
exercise is underappreciated for a number of reasons (not only longevity, but effect on learning, cell growth, stress, maintaining blood sugar levels, etc)

Also, I've read studies on traditional saunas. 4-7 days a week @ 174 F or greater for 19+ minutes leads to 66% less chance of death from all causes. I think it might be related to heat shock proteins.
If I'm getting your meaning, that is - we don't have a fix for "we can but we ought not to", then yeah I see what you mean.

Even that is not straightforward, unfortunately. There's this thing where the tech is going to be here, one way or the other. What we may have some influence on isn't whether it shows up, but who has it.

...which brings me to what I see as the core of contention between anyone conversing in this space. Who do you think is a bigger threat? Large multinational globocorps or individual fanatics, or someone else that might get their hands on this stuff?

From my perspective, we've gone a long time handing over control of "things"; society, tax dollars, armaments, law - to the larger centralized entities (globocorps and political parties and wall street and so on and so on). Things throughout this period have become incrementally worser and worser, and occasionally (here's looking at you, september '08) rapidly worser.

Put in short, huge centralized single-points-of-failure are the greater evil. "Terrorists", "Commies", "Malcontents" (whatever you wanna call folks with an axe to grind) make up a much lesser (but still present!) danger.

So that leaves us in a really awkward position, right? We have these things that (could) amount to digital nukes (or anything on a spectra towards such) and we're having this conversation about whether to keep going on them while everyone knows full well that on some level, we can't be trusted. It's not great and I'll be the first to admit that.

But, I'm much more concerned about the people with strike drones and billions of dollars of warchest having exclusive access to this stuff than I am about joey-mad-about-baloney having them.

Joey could do one-time damage to some system, or maybe fleece your grandma for her life savings (which is bad, and I'm not trying to minimize it).

Globocorp (which in this scenario could actually be a single incredibly rich dude with a swarm of AI to carry out his will) could institute a year-round propaganda machine that suppresses dissent while algorithmically targeting whoever it deems "dangerous" with strike drones and automated turrets. And we'd never hear about it. The 'media AI' could just decide not to tell us.

So yeah, I'm kinda on the side of "do it all, but do it in the open so's we can see it". Not ideal, but better than the alternatives AFAICT.
I think Wiretap is a fair analogy for intercepting and decrypting traffic for other apps.
Building an Interactive Shell in Golang
So I am not really following what this is about, but it seems like Facebook wanted to know what information Snapchat and others were collecting from users.

So with the users permission (for a testing group), they created something to be installed along side so that they could see what data was actually being collected by third parties.

I don't understand the issue, If I as a user want to monitor what is being sent about me, I should have the right to do so. If I then want to send that information to some other company, in exchange for money (or whatever) that's my choice.

The headline seems disingenuous.
People already pay a big premium on electricity rates for high speed charging. At ~98% coil to coil efficiency it’s quite competitive.

Semi’s need ~30kW for unlimited distance with multiple drivers and about half that with a single driver and mandatory rest periods. Cars have significantly lower requirements making this a long way from a moon shot.
Is carbon monoxide valuable?
Similar. I've been running multiple Pi's for years, and had issues with two.

Got a USB cable tester and found both had cables with 1+ Ohms resistance, which would cause drop to less than 4V under load!

Swapped both cables to some good ones and never had an issue since.

I always use A1 or ideally A2 rated cards from reputable brands bought from reputable stores. Not sure if they help with longevity but the additional IOPS are very noticeable.
Counterpoint: I was professionally diagnosed as a child, my mum got me medicated, my dad got me off it a year later because it was "all about discipline".

Typical untreated ADHD style I excelled through early school until the later years of high school and struggled hard with procrastination, etc.

Got lucky with work for the first 8 years of my career in support work that is constantly changing, often high pressure which tends to capitalise on the ADHD brain but always struggled with anything long term, any project or case that takes more than a few days or weeks is a struggle.

Finally got re-diagnosed as an adult and it was LIFE CHANGING. Been on medication for about 10 years now. My psych retired and I was off medication for about a month and then briefly tried a different medication for another few weeks before going back to my original and it was miserable, I got almost nothing done for those 2 months.

I promise you, I just cannot think or disclipline my way out of it :)
Good lord. Moderator, pls get this garbage propaganda out of here.

30k civilians dead with minimal Hamas casualties. It’s a new standard all right.
Intelligence agencies get caught red handed all the time so I wouldn't be too sure.

If it was an organised group I'm sure they were careful, of course, but it only takes one fuckup.
Slightly related, if someone wants Photoshop like features, I would recommend Photopea. It's basically photoshop but all processing is done in browser and doesn't need to be installed.
I use a Mac now, but have a Windows VM running in Parallels. Paint.net is one of the first apps I installed on that VM. It's ridiculously easy and intuitive.
Turning carbon into useful materials is good here on Earth, but there is at least a planet on our solar system with more water, and there is the possibility that there is a planet with more carbon as well. We are talking about rain and rivers of methane.

Carbon as a construction material is the way to go, here on Earth, and other planets as well. In normal pressures we experience here on earth or in similar planets, temperature, radioactivity etc, carbon is the most versatile material of all. I think carbon gold rush is well on it's way.
Slate Star Codex did a great write-up of risks and rewards of adderall from their perspective as a "gatekeeping psychiatrist"

It's a super informative, and kind of technical read.

Seems unreasonable for a powertrain, but pretty reasonable for a series hybrid generator.
I created an LLM-driven game called "The Fortuna" which anyone can play here: https://www.generativefiction.com/

It has a caching system to keep things consistent once it's generated the first time and it's a combination of pure LLM responses and some content that was seeded by an LLM but then I edited by hand.

The way to progress through the game is to learn what the NPCs like talking about and talk about those topics to earn empathy points. You can learn what they are interested in by asking probing questions. The characters are implemented by passing a secret preamble to a conversation LLM.
The attacker had 750 previous commits; maybe it was all for this or maybe there are more vulnerabilities.
The account has been suspended for a while, but for whatever reason that's not displayed on the profile itself (can be seen at https://github.com/Larhzu?tab=following). Repo being disabled is newer, and, while annoying and realistically likely pointless, it's not particularly unreasonable to take down a repository including a real backdoor.
I have absolutely no context beyond reading this document but it appears they only did SSL decryption on their Facebook Research App where users were explicitly paid for running the app and giving facebook access to their network traffic. I... would probably not accept that deal but it doesn't seem accurate to call this "spyware" or "wiretapping", both of which imply non-consensuality.
The Moon Is Getting Plants in Just a Few Years
I don't understand this criticism. What is being controlled? Passkeys are an open standard that a browser can implement with public key crypto.
It’s caused by the structure of the brain.

Those few bits are the difference between a keylogged password holder waltzing in and an automated monitor noticing that someone is failing the token check and locking the account before any damage occurs.
> No, my entire thing has always been based on possession being the crime.

Then why did you say "if the law only forbid counterfeiting 100 stamps"??

I'm done too, because my entire argument was based on what you actually said, not what you secretly meant and never clarified.

Also the "unless you made them in front of them" excuse about proof could be applied to making even 1. You're grasping at straws to make conviction sound more difficult than it is.
Relying on an underfunded nonprofit to protect information incompletely is never going to be as good as having access to the original information source. I could point to many reasons for this, but let me start with just one: The internet has been around as a mainstream entity for just 30 years. The newspaper has 155 years of archives. Those archives have not been put on a number of vintage newspaper archive sites, making this information impossible to access.

Have you ever dealt with newspaper archives? Morgues of old content? They are often complex to manage and digitize. The Internet Archive, being asked to manage the literal history of the internet, has a massive backlog. It would be significantly better if someone who actually was up close and had an organizational interest in managing it could do it instead, because that makes the lift far easier to deal with.

The Internet Archive is an important tool, but it is not the silver bullet you think it is. It is not a set-it-and-forget-it tool. It is the recovery option of last resort, and it puts a lot of pressure on the organization to treat them as a simple replacement for content that should just be online. Any researcher worth their salt will tell you that.
We detached this subthread from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39866275. (It's fine; I'm just trying to prune the top-heavy subthread.)
Footnote #1 in the linked document states:
"It is Advertisers’ position—backed up by voluminous evidentiary background and analysis,
which Advertisers would welcome the opportunity to share with the Court should Meta dispute
any aspect of Advertisers’ contention—that Meta’s IAAP program didn’t just harm competition,
but criminally violated 18 U.S.C. § 2511(1)(a) and (d) by intentionally intercepting SSL-protected
analytics traffic addressed to secure Snapchat, YouTube, and Amazon servers."

18 U.S.C. § 2511(1)(a) and (d) are provisions of the federal Wiretap Act.

Subsection (1)(a) makes it a crime to intentionally intercept, endeavor to intercept, or procure any other person to intercept or endeavor to intercept, any wire, oral, or electronic communication.

Subsection (1)(d) makes it a crime to intentionally use, or endeavor to use, the contents of any wire, oral, or electronic communication, knowing or having reason to know that the information was obtained through the interception of a wire, oral, or electronic communication in violation of this subsection.

For criminal prosecutions, the general five-year statute of limitations for non-capital federal crimes applies, as per 18 U.S.C. § 3282(a).
There's a lot of things you said in this one post which just aren't true.

1. "Speed" refers to a variety of amphetamine salts, not just the four in Adderall.

2. "Enantiomers notwithstanding" is an absurd aside: one enantiomer, levoamphetamine, has significantly less euphoric effect and as such isn't sold as a street or party drug, except incidentally as an impurity. Which enantiomers you're receiving is extremely relevant in this group of chemicals.

3. "Smoking meth" and "taking Adderall" have very different social stigmas. I'm certainly not saying there's no social stigma around Adderall, but there's definitely a lot more social stigma against non-pharmaceutical amphetamines.
Err, you are just restating what I’m saying, without addressing the concerns.

1 - is it fair to use ram in two places and report only one of them without any asterisk? (If you think this is fair-oh boy wait till you hear about my 0GB hbm use inference algorithm)

2 - i know how subchannel quantization works. Are they hitting those reported latency numbers with per layer cpu pingpong to rescale?
I have this problem with splice and slice too
vehicle-mounted launchers that fire foam projectiles with a heat-activated sticky glue at fleeing vehicles in a car chase. The projectiles have wireless GPS tracking systems built into them, which allow police to track the car's whereabouts. The launchers and darts are made by StarChase, who also leases out handheld units to the NYPD, among other departments. The idea is to eliminate car chases, which are dangerous and often put the public at risk.

Except if I install by choice, a app that records what my device is doing, I would not call that wiretapping.

Wiretapping is what you do to others, generally without knowledge. Facebook paid individuals to record what data their devices sent out.
I wonder what the point is, I don't remember GitHub warning me that I've used the se SSH key for years...
That would be a worthy trade, but that is vastly overstating the weight of aluminum block engines compared to Li+ and not at all realistic.

In addition to the other comments, "Nightfall" by Isaac Asimov also covers a similar topic, especially in the full-length novel (though I prefer the short story).
Imagine if they find a way to get zero emission from gasoline engines
The real lesson is that humans don't need to fuck off for this to happen, we just need to stop intervening so much in nature. People honestly can't seem to handle sitting idle, we run around doing as much stuff as we can because we don't know what "enough" means.
I agree it’s fair as an analogy, and I used the word in my summary of the situation. All I wanted to say was that what Facebook actually did didn’t match my initial expectation when I read “wiretap”
Will believe it when it actually happens
“People are saying…”
