Language models as compilers: Simulating pseudocode execution
How does the car know it should unlock when approached by the right person but not a stranger? It has a Bluetooth connection to the phone. For a rental, the person renting probably doesn't have the Tesla app, and it's not obvious how to use the key card.

None of this is easy for a rental. They are only easy for a person who bought the car and owns it.
Wow yes, 10.31 m (f/1.23) overall (optical diameter of 8.360 m). That's insane.
> Under such conditions it's somewhat reasonable to use infrastructure to try to get rid of the occupier, don't you think? What would you do?

Probably recognize that 30 years of violent resistance only ever ends up harming me more, and strive to elect leaders that will opt for trying a truly peaceful approach. Instead of starting wars every few years with a far more powerful neighboring country, maybe... not starting such wars is a better idea.
There are some serious allegations here. Do you have links that recap / substantiate this in more detail?

> (I'm not however fond at all of longjmp)

I don't think there is any justifiable reason to use setjmp/longjmp in modern C code. At best it's a crude imitation of throw/catch semantics; if you really want that, C++ has a real implementation.
I don't think capitalism and the concepts of property and trade are synonyms. It is also not clear that historical understandings of property or trade or universal amongst human civilizations and I'd be wary of dismissing other civilizations as having been made up of unsentient beings.

I think we have it all.

Just thinking about TV alone-- Foundation, ongoing Star Wars, ongoing Star Trek, Silo, The Expanse, For All Mankind, Stranger Things, 3 Body Problem, etc.

Some of these are harder; some are galactic empires; some are weird.
No, it's taking the merchants' money and giving you back part of it. How much do merchants eat it vs passing on the cost? I don't think that's an easy question to answer and probably varies a lot by merchant type and product, but I think we can assume the answer is not always passes on 100% of the cost, so owners of the high end rewards cards are winning to some degree. You could argue that non-rewards cards are absorbing costs of rewards cards in the case where merchants do pass through costs, though.
on that, we agree
For sure I don't think Google is helpless. But its not as simple as just "make search good." And I agree with you on how you summarized the misalignment of incentives. Lets say Google already invests 100 million in search (probably under, but keep numbers small and simple). And we are able to quantify it at being 60% effective or 'good.' Does it make sense for Google to invest another 50 million to bump that up to 62%, probably not. And I imagine that it how the incentives are aligned. They could pay to make it more effective, but they won't see the same returns on the dollar amount. And that is what I am guessing the situation is like. They could make it better, but they now have diminishing returns on the money spent on making it better. I expect a lot of the diminishing returns comes from the fact that they have to fight a cottage industry to game whatever changes they make all along the way.

Articles like that make it all sound so complicated and hard!

TBH, the experience of most Tesla owners is just put the dest in the map and charge when needed on the way.

The one clear problem that is highlighted in that article is that hotel, or more generally destination, charging makes a huge difference. People think it is all about getting there, but it really is the being there that can be tricky.

Rental cars magnify this problem, which is why it was so strange that Hertz expanded the fleet so rapidly. Scaling the same move over 3 years would have had very different results(*).

(*) Maybe other than maintenance costs. There were odd rental effects in that from the stories that I've heard.
Well really I think that technology and societal/economic structures are deeply related in ways that dont necessarily get enough consideration in many discussions on the topic. For instance our current most successful form of capitalism is enabled primarily by the technologies created in the industrial revolution allowing shipping of goods and services long distances. We have seen it change rapidly and deeply as we developed telephony and computers and I suspect as new and better forms of communication and transportation evolve we will see further evolution of the basic system.

Unknown technologies or applications of the future will likely cause further evolution and possibly revolution in how we structure our economic and social structures and I think its both fascinating and important to think and talk about these things!

My pet favorite is the anarchic utopia of the Culture from Ian M Banks' Culture novels. Obviously impossible without the near infinite processing, energy and matter resources enabled by the Minds and the Ships they control but still fun to think about (and even aspire to value-wise in many cases IMO)
Are there any that are recommended? Honestly we would rather not share data with any 3P vendors. It's been a painstaking progress to curate it.
It is already linked further up in the thread.
When water is returned it's pumped to near the lake's surface, so will rise, cool down, then sink.

So it's just providing a higher quality source of 'cold' to make things efficient instead of requiring heat pumps that dump heat to the air directly when it's hot out.

Much more efficient overall.
Still scratching my head at why they couldn't make EV batteries hot-swappable, at least with a technician and specialized equipment assumed. (You'd need to changing the finance model a bit, of course, so that the batter replacement service were sold separately from the car -- but this would be easiest for the case of a car rental fleet.)
This is so much better than stable.audio released yesterday!?

I've dabbled in music production and this is just unbelievable.

Both amazing and a bit sad because this is already so much better than would i would have anticipated.

> Consumers are going to prefer rewards programs over no rewards programs.

I believe that you believe. Rewards programs are ultimately bad for consumers and merchants, but great for rent-seeking banks. As a consumer I'd prefer an EU style cap and not have to spend my time working to scrape back some of that money.
I'm curious what the smallest build of a minimalist UE5 WASM game word be. A cursory googling indicates you could probably get a desktop x86 UE5 example project to an 80MB build. It might be hard to take advantage of UE5's advanced feature set if you need to cut back on assets for web. Not to mention the bandwidth costs for recurring users.

Sounds like an awesome project to work on though.
Thanks! Certainly multi-AZ setups are not magical. I just wanted to know how it's now done on-prem, what are the tools, solutions, approaches. Doing this in a cost-effective way for 1000 servers likely takes different tools than doing this at a major cloud provider scale.

One thing that's more "magical" in AWS is S3. Their architecture is impressive, see e.g. https://www.allthingsdistributed.com/2021/04/s3-strong-consi...
That said, I think that dvt's comment is helpful about RAG likely being what you need rather than fine-tuning, but wanted to offer something if you know that's what you need.
Well, October 7th Massacre wasn’t enough to wake you up from a 140 years long dream of peace.

That’s telling.

No, the battery simply isn't able to hold as much energy because the chemical process that makes it work "slows" down (my basic understanding of electrons, someone feel free to correct me).

If you mean “wasn’t originally meant”, that might be true. But it’s been meant to be performant for quite a long time, with huge investments behind the realization of that intent.

It’s fine if you have nostalgia for whatever you think was the original vision behind JS. But that hasn’t been the operating vision for it for many years.
>What is the point of referring to other cases, which may or may not be unreasonable, and using them to throw out the court's authority? Without even reading their ruling, for that matter. Or worse, for no reason other than you don't like their ruling?

Because the discussion was about the quality of the Court's opinions in general. I'm not sure what is so difficult about that for you to grasp.

>The answer is there is no point, at least not any that is productive.

We are just people sharing opinions on HN, I'm not sure where you got the impression that your posts were productive, or any of the posts here are productive, nor by what means you seem to have used to come to such a conclusion.

>Read the ruling and make your case. Otherwise there can't be any useful conversations.

Once again, you are being unreasonable. It's completely valid to talk about the general quality of decisions made by a circuit court. I'm not sure how you came to the conclusion that such a thing cannot be discussed "productively" And it seems you are basing your opinion here on the fact that wait for it others disagree with you!

>The answer is there is no point, at least not any that is productive. All you achieve is the spreading of doubt and uncertainty about the judiciary and thus the laws governing the land.

The legitimacy of any court is based on, in part, how it is received by the public. That's the nature of government and law. I'm really not sure how you came to the conclusion that courts cannot be criticized, but it's flat-out asinine. The 5th Circuit has done its own work to spread doubt and uncertainty regarding the quality of its rulings, and that is absolutely not the fault of anyone pointing out the deficient quality of a number of its recent rulings. To suggest otherwise seems more than stifling.

TBH, I've experienced it where it can go either way. I've rented gas cars and ended up at a hotel with nice L2 stations. The EV would have been easier! :)

But I've also rented EVs in metros with decent fast charging, but none at the hotel. It was fun, but charging was a notable downside.

When kids have lemonade stands, mow the lawn, walk dogs or babysit, who is able to profit off of their labor?

When kids are on Etsy, TikTok and Roblox, show is able to profit off of their labor?

In the past when kids had "more opportunities!!!" in coal mines and garment mills, who was able to profit?

Notice how the answer for the last two are similar and are dissimilar to the first. That is why.
My friend's friend got an electric vehicle they didn't ask for an it made their entire visit a giant pain because they brought negative energy everywhere with them.

I had been planning to get an electric but now I'm looking at PHEVs. And I still need to get the wiring for my house fixed. There's an outlet but it was meant for some early gen electric vehicle and literally nothing uses that plug anymore (and now the wiring is probably not adequate gauge)
Jemisin is one of the more visceral and imaginative writers I've encountered in recent years, and she did indeed produce and publish written works, so I do believe she is a real author, yes.

Pricing is going to depend a lot on the dynamics of the local market and the number of cars each company has available. (Article mentions that rental companies will truck cars between markets and that anticipating demand is key to being profitable.)

For a while last summer, EVs from Hertz were the cheapest cars you could rent in the Seattle area because they had many and customers didn’t want them. Sounds like they’ve been selling them off.
Tennessee also just passed law against Chemtrails. So think it might be safe to assume that an entire legislature has gone down some internet conspiracy rabbit hole.
I have no idea, I don't know anything about Roblox. It's possible some kids are spending so much time making content to sell on the platform that it interferes with their schooling.

It's a bit beside the point though - "child labor" is a term that the Roblox CEO brought into this discussion to defend himself, possibly because he knows it's too strong a term that doesn't really apply here. As far as I can tell the major critics used the much broader term "exploitation" (https://www.eurogamer.net/roblox-exploiting-young-game-devel...), and obviously there are many ways to exploit children that aren't child labor. The main accusation is not that they use child labor, but that they entice very young kids into making content for the game with the promise of money, but almost none of them are successful enough to actually get paid.

Elon Musk's attempt to deceive the public and advertisers
It pretty much comes down to two concepts that are easily common sense and will certainly be defined rigorously at some point:

Open AI must be “available weight”: the technical public defied the powers that be over mp3 files and HDMI cables and won. This stuff is going to get hacked, leaked, torrented, and distributed full stop until someone brokers a mutually acceptable compromise like Jobs did. Whatever your position on the legality or morality of this, it’s happening. How much does someone want to prop bet on this?

Open AI must be “operator-aligned”: there exist laws on the books, today, for causing harm to others, via computers, that many argue are already draconian. Within the constraints of the law as legislated by congress, ruled upon by the judiciary, and handled at the utmost, unambiguous emergency by the executive apparatus, the agent must comply with the directives of the operator bounded only by the agent’s capability and the operator’s budget.

The legal and regulatory framework will take years. We can start applying common sense now.
It’s still “WOW” and tickles my “remember when” neurons.
Friendly notice for anyone optimising their openai token usage: multi_tool use wastes 200 tokens on every call with function calling. You're better off implementing function calling yourself than using their API implementation.
Don't I have to "0. Buy rice cooker" first? :P
Nope.

The report says that the sand will be heated up to 1200 Celsius degrees.

This is much higher than the maximum temperature for steam turbines and equal to the temperature of the gas in the best gas turbines.

Therefore they will use a combined cycle, first a gas turbine will use hot air passed through the sand and the exhaust from the gas turbine will produce steam for a chain of steam turbines with decreasing working temperatures.

There should have been no problem in reaching a 65% efficiency for the conversion from heat to electricity, except that between hot sand and a gas burner there is the same difference as between an electric capacitor and a battery, while heat is extracted from the sand, it cools down.

Presumably, when the sand becomes too cold, the gas turbine is bypassed and the hot air just produces steam. When it becomes even colder, I suppose that the first steam turbine is also bypassed and only the low-temperature steam turbines are used.

This will lower the average efficiency, probably to around 50%. If the residual heat (after the steam turbines) had been used for heating or for cooling (i.e. heat-powered air conditioning), the efficiency could have been higher, e.g. over 80% in the beginning, while the sand is still very hot.

Depending on the application, you would do continued pretraining over new tokens to gain new knowledge. 100M tokens is applicable here.

You would fine-tune, certainly, for domain-specific tasks, and would curate a subset of the 100M tokens. Total tokens in alignment study references is 1,000,000.

RAG is a hacky way to interpolate new knowledge with a base model. Not always reliable nor easy to integrate into task-specific workflows.
I consider 'Left Hand Of Darkness' to be the single book that resonated the most with me, with 'The Dispossessed' being my previous favorite.

On the other hand I was very disappointed from 'A Wizard Of Heartsea'.
When I looked into this, renting an electric car from Hertz in the UK, the only chargers I would have had access to were public ones that wanted something like 85p/KWh. I would have spent an absolute fortune compared to petrol for the trip that I took.
> But I don't think the court can say "there is no law allowing the government to do this, but since that is what you meant/that is what is good we will allow it."

The court literally conceded that the EPA has the authority to regulate this material! (See section IV at the end of the decision: "We hasten to add that our ruling to this effect does not render the EPA powerless to regulate Inhance’s fluorination process. The agency can properly proceed [...]")

That's what's so infuriating here. The court recognizes that the EPA did something within its regulatory purview and for public health reasons that the court doesn't dispute. And it undid it anyway, quite literally "endangering public health" in a legal sense, all because of a technicality that even the court recognizes isn't material.

Again, there are plenty of reasonable ways to address the procedural fuckup without stepping in and stopping the EPA from doing what the EPA is designed to do.
A decision maker figured they could cut costs by using a DIY model instead of paying for mid journey API calls. They're the ones who are responsible.

> I don't care whether they're considered legitimate or not, to me that's up to the palestinians to decide. Currently they're the most successful faction.

Except they killed all opposition.

Someone will have to root them out like the German nazis, put the area under military occupation until they are ready to elect a new government - just like postwar Germany - and sadly that someone is Israel since no one else steps up.

I'd personally love if some other country told Israel to get lost, rooted out Hamas and administered Gaza until they were ready for elections.

I'm sure most Israelis would love it too.
I'm apparently at least one genius on HN that doesn't multiply unrelated sources.

I took each claim as coming from a separate source because the article specifies that they did.

By itself, a claim of 10% allowance, implies a 10% allowed civilian casualty rate.

Also, if you down vote, it prevents me from commenting. If you just want to get the last word in, say so. You're not important enough for me to care if I do.

Neither is this hearsay article.

More telling, you completely dodged the racism in Gaza's charter. Swept it under the rug.

Israel is bad for using AI, but it doesn't bother you that Gaza wants to kill all civilians?

Really, I think that last one makes moot all of your points entirely.

At cold temps you lose range a few different ways:
First heat in an EV isn't free, this is usually where it gets you. People get in go "oh man its cold" and crank up the heat and there goes range. When you see one of the "this person ran out of power waiting in line at the Tesla charger in winter time" pictures this is how they did it.

Second battery efficiency goes down.

Finally, the battery usually is constantly doing the regen breaking thing but in cold weather it doesn't to save pack wear until you get the pack warm again
