The phrasing of 'a hard truth' makes it sound as if it is inevitable, and those in 'CEO circles' are simply bystanders to the phenomenon. Why is it that the purchasing power of CEOs has drastically increased, while the purchasing power of the middle class has decreased?

I guess it's just one of those darned hard truths.

"The White House" is used as a metonym for the Presidency, not the entire US government, or even for the executive branch: it would be incorrect to describe something from the various departments as originating from the White House.

USG has something called the Executive Offices of the Presidency, that's included in "the White House". This is one of those councils, they're all hosted at whitehouse.gov

These ones didn't have a human handler. I think a lot of them just got broken into. I've also seen one get run over by a truck before because it wandered into the road.

Also, even if nothing went wrong, they were so slow that I can't imagine people actually used them. Wonder if they were just pretending to deliver stuff.
It's interesting that the government can't convince owners to sell. I mean - we're talking about politicians. They manage to negotiate everything and compromise even in the middle of wars. See prisoner exchange between Russia and Ukraine right now. Or Israel and Hamas. Worst enemies and they can still find a compromise.

It can't be just about money - governments successfully negotiate with unions that hold the whole country over a barrel with strikes of essential services.

But eminent domain to build vital infrastructure? No - forced confiscation is the only solution. Strange.

Happy to be proven wrong since I'm far from an expert on FMVSS, but what I've seen specifies capabilities like ability to lock and amount of force it must endure, not the actual implementation (mechanical/electrical/etc).

Regardless the article only tells us the "emergency override mechanism did not work". Whether that is electrical or mechanical we can only guess (one would hope mechanical).

I have a minor nitpick with the shapes. There is a lot of wide-open nothingness under these "mega" region shapes. Washington DC to Boston should be more of a long rectangle, as the rest of upstate PA and NY are basically empty woods. Most of the region south of Orlando are mangroves and swamp. The NorCal one should be a line from SF to San Jose. Although Sacramento is growing, it's quite distinct from the bay area, and there is a lot of nothingness between the two. And these are just the places I've lived and are familiar with. Wouldn't surprise me if the rest of that map is similar.

I mean, China has 45,000 kilometers of HSR and the US has zero. So I'm not saying that taking people's houses to build public infrastructure is always the right thing to do, but there's a case to be made for a more balanced view than just "never".

(Also China is a huge, spread out place just like the US, so miss me with those arguments about that being the reason passenger rail doesn't work here.)

I think I'd characterize that as "their only identity." What's the chance that some number (>1) of actual agents were sharing this identity? If that's the case, I'd extrapolate that to multiple identities. In fact the social engineering to gain the trust of the original maintainer likely involved several identities.

I suspect that detectability of intentionally injected bugs would be very low.

I agree. People love making things clever instead of making things done.

Recursion for iteration is just more complicated iteration. I've never seen a good argument for it in modern programming, it just ends up being the classic backwards rationalization of something people want to believe.

Recursion for traversing a tree is just using the call stack as a stack data structure.

Any balanced tree is never going to exceed 64 levels deep (really 48 on a 48 bit memory addressing cpu) and that could easily be put in a static array that gets used as a stack without recursing. This is easier to limit and debug.
When the US dropped napalm indecriminately over the vietnamese jungle or absolutely leveled dresden in one bombing run or unleashed nuclear hellfire over japan, they probably killed a lot of journalists and doctors and food workers as well. Interestingly, western media did not beat itself into a frenzy over it at the time. Its easy to get cynical about it all seeing how easily narratives are manufactured and controlled to serve political ends.

If you want to use an actual analogue phone, then you'll probably want to connect it to something using an ATA (Analogue Telephone Adapter). Modems are expecting a powered phone line which can be worked around but I wouldn't recommend it (and haven't tried it in decades and don't remember the details).

The ATA converts analogue telephone into SIP, if you then want voicemail recorded on a Pi install FreeSwitch or Asterisk as your voicemail server. The magic you want from the ATA is "Offhook Auto-Dial"; as in, when it detects the handset being picked up (going off-hook) it automagically dials a number for you - in this case your voicemail extension on your Pi based SIP server.

Unless you're specifically trying to relive the analogue days, I'd probably go digital earlier rather than later in the chain (handset to ata, rather than handset to fake phone line, to modem coopted to do something most people aren't) as it'll make things easier and make no difference to the end user.

This might not be the most elegant way, but it's the tools I'm used to using, so :\

Out of curiosity, what's the plan for the recordings after you've made them?

Tesla batteries are so large and massive (~ 0.5 -- 1 tonne) that they're integrated into the frame as the entire floor of the automobile. This, incidentally, makes for a very low centre of gravity and high stability of the vehicle, though also a high kerb weight. Replacement is possible, and quickly, though requiring specialised equipment.

On hybrid petrol-battery EVs, the cells are included as modules, typically located under the rear seats (where the fuel tank of a conventional petroleum-fueled passenger car would be), which can be slid out in a matter of minutes as a DIY proccedure.

The batteries themselves weigh about 100 kilos and are rated for 100k -- 150k miles, which makes audunw's argument specious.

>> Apple is not happy that I bought a laptop in 2015 that was so good that it is still working fine 9 years later. And it's also not happy that I bought a phone more than 4 years ago that still does all the things I need it to do. Because they need to make money. More money.

Well I'm not so sure about "more" as much about "keep making". And here lays the problem in almost every business on this planet. Everyone needs money to survive and if those money are obtained by selling produce, if that produce doesn't sell, they don't survive. So what do you propose instead?
It would have been easy to avoid the redefinitions of all other units by defining the second based on the frequency of an atomic clock that works in a null gravity field.

This would have required to apply a relativistic correction to the measured frequency of any atomic clock, but it would have provided unit definitions independent of the position in the Universe.

However, before contemplating the idea of time keeping on other celestial bodies it was decided to define the second based on an atomic clock that works on the surface of the geoid.

I believe that this was a big mistake, because it ties all the SI units to the Earth and especially because it does not really avoid the use of relativistic corrections. Now the precision of the atomic clocks is so great that for most of them it is necessary to apply relativistic corrections depending on the altitude of the laboratory.

Red flag for me is the part where they say it was left for human to decide if AI generated correct target or false positive based on voice recognition performed by human:

(...) at some point we relied on the automatic system, and we only checked that [the target] was a man — that was enough. It doesn’t take a long time to tell if someone has a male or a female voice (...)

...sounds fake as shit. Any dumb system can make male/female decision automatically, no fucking way human needs to verify it by listening to recordings while sohphisticated AI system is involved in filtering.

Why would half a dozen, active military offcers brag about careless use of tech and bombing families with children while they sleep risking accusation of treason?

Feels like well done propaganda more than anything else to me.

It's plausible they use AI. It's also plausible they don't that much.

It's plausible it has high false positive rate. It's also plausible it has multiple layers of crosschecks and has very high accuracy - better than human personel.

It's plausible it is used in rush without any doublechecks at all. It's also plausible it's used with or after other intelligence. It's plausible it's used as final verification only.

It's plausible that targets are easier to locate home. It's plausible it's not, ie. it may be easier to locate them around listed, known operation buildings, tracked vehicles, while known, tracked mobile phone is used etc.

It's plausible that half a dozen active officers want to share this information. It's also plausible that narrow group of people have access to this information. It's plausible they would not engage in activity that could be classified as treason. It's also plausible most personel simply doesn't know the origin of orders up the chain, just immediate.

It's plausible it's real information. It's also plausible it's fake or even AI generated, good quality, possibly intelligence produced fake.

Frankly looking at AI advances I'd be surprised if propaganda quality would lag behind operational, on the ground use.
I'm not shocked, I said it was a problem.

I think it takes a tiny number of flags to nuke a post, independent of its upvotes, so strong negative community opinions are always quick to kill things.

To restore it, mods have to step in, get involved, pick a "side".

I think the flagging criteria needs overhauling so popular, flagged posts only get taken down at the behest of a moderator. But that does mean divisive topics stay up longer.

For the nothing it's worth, I don't see this post as divisive. It's uncovering something ugly and partisan in nature, but a debate about whether or not an AI should be allowed to make these decisions needn't be partisan at all.
Raymond Chen has to be one of the few OG legends where the title of the post alone is just like: “Today is Old New Thing day, and that’s just going to be the coolest thing I learn today.” I started salivating before my eyes scanned so far as the domain name.

> just... building homes

A component of this is minimum building standards.

Homeless is a direct consequence of socially deciding that no new housing under certain standards (and therefore building costs) can be constructed.

If we were okay with building cost- and density-optimized cubes, we could probably solve homelessness in a year.

Instead, we've decided that it's better to have minimum building standards, with the side effect that some people cannot afford such a dwelling.
Yep! There's a streaming API. It's a little more technically involved, but you can stream back at the point at which an application "halts", meaning you pause and give control back to the user. It only updates state after the stream completes.

Technical details follow:

You can define an action like this:

@streaming_action(reads=["prompt"], writes=["prompt"])
def streaming_chat_call(state: State, **run_kwargs) -> Generator[dict, None, Tuple[dict, State]]:
client = openai.Client()
response = client.chat.completions.create(
...,
stream=True,
)
buffer = []
for chunk in response:
delta = chunk.choices[0].delta.content
buffer.append(delta)
yield {'response': delta}
full_response = ''.join(buffer)
return {'response': full_response}, state.append(response=full_response)

Then you would call `application.stream_result()` function, which would give you back a container object that you can stream to the user:

streaming_result_container = application.stream_result(...)
action_we_just_ran = streaming_result_container.get()
print(f"getting streaming results for action={action_we_just_ran.name}")

for result_component in streaming_result_container:
print(result_component['response']) # this assumes you have a response key in your result

# get the final result
final_state, final_result = streaming_result_container.get()

Its nice in a web-server or a streamlit app where you can use streaming responses to connect to the frontend. Here's how we use it in a streamlit app -- we plan for a streaming web server soon: https://github.com/DAGWorks-Inc/burr/blob/main/examples/stre....
