To me it sounds pretty weird to have a “car wash mode”, I have never encountered this in most ICE cars. I guess newer cars are more fragile though due to the multitude of sensors.

This tracks with the HN view of Psychology.

I dunno, I'm less than dazzled.

One of my gotos is a variation of a classic logic puzzle, as models naturally tend to try to provide the original form of the solution because of token similarities and by seeing how well they can identify where steps are wrong or seeing if they can solve the variation when breaking token similarities with representative symbols or other techniques like mapping out object relationships in the initial answer before providing a solution it tends to reveal the underlying capacity for logic outside of simply similarities to the training data.

Mistral, GPT-4, Claude, Gemini can all solve it with various degrees of competency and hand holding.

Llama 3 just cannot handle it.

I think what we're seeing is that the massive training data set is leading to a much more capable stochastic parrot but not necessarily as capable world modeling. Or else there's an advantage to MoE for this kind of task that Llama 3 lacks. But it's tracking with my subjective sense of being somewhere between GPT-3 and 4 in terms of "critical thinking" ability, but not in the same class as more modern models, even though it seems to have a better breadth of training to draw on than most other medium sized models.

In the case of Switzerland, the EU and Switzerland have signed a series of bilateral treaties which effectively make significant chunks of EU law applicable in Switzerland.

Whether that applies to the specific regulations in question here, I don't know – but even if it doesn't, it may take them some time for their lawyers to research the issue and tell them that.

Similarly, for Serbia, a plausible explanation is they don't actually know what laws and regulations it may have on this topic–they probably don't have any Serbian lawyers in-house, and they may have to contract with a local Serbian law firm to answer that question for them, which will take time to organise. Whereas, for larger economies (US, EU, UK, etc), they probably do have in-house lawyers.

People love these ugly cars, Mercedes G class is one of the most popular models (and one of the most expensive ones), I think preorders are filled for years to come. Turns out there are tons of jerks that like big, intimidating looking cars that they can pose with.
My interpretation is the exact opposite.

Our society (well, the US and increasingly Europe where I’m from) has put a lot of resources and effort into mental health, largely by following “expert” recommendations.

Tons of people are being treated for mental health, children are medicalised, employers offer mental health courses and insurance, people sharing experiences about burnout, language being changed to avoid offending people, …

Yet the problems keep getting worse.

Maybe the experts are the problem?

That doesn't mean your manuals did not warn against doing some of that. Manufacturers want to offload as much liability as possible. Check out the list of warnings for a Corolla: https://www.toyota.com/owners/warranty-owners-manuals/digita...

Asserting that anything bad will push people into breakdown, psychosis, is plain wrong.

Most people are sane despite dealing with bad stuff, which proves the assertion wrong.

As sibling comment got at - the wall is a benefit because it's how they can justify raking in large investments to burn through while loss-leading for up to a decade (or two! just look at Google) before turning the screws on the user. If they just turned the screws without a wall their users would flee and they'd go under. With a wall, their users are stuck in by network effects, FOMO, etc.

Regarding the other terms that were in use: Cowhand, ranchhand, drovers, stockmen etc etc. - does the use of these terms disprove the racialised aspects of cowboy or the story of how the word became popularised? I would think cowboy could have still been popularised in the slavery context despite not having been coined especially for it.

An interesting trigger for memories from my early career. People who started work in the late nineties will not remember a time when it was extremely difficult to share files and data between PCs. We had things like laplink, where you could connect two PCs with a parallel cable, but no external drives or usb sticks, and floppy disks were too small. Connecting to a Netware network was what you did to share files and some applications like dBase, Paradox, and later Access were able to use network file-shared databases. Also, security was pretty lax (no firewalls or network-spread viruses), and the system administrator probably worked in the office and could create an account for you without any paperwork.

I ran my own Netware network but struggled to setup and configure, so my buddy always helped. Network cards were also a bit ropey and difficult to configure (before Win95), so on Windows you had to work hard to get your card to work across IPX/SPX and NetBEUI. It is also worth remembering that in the early nineties, TCP/IP wasn't in small office networks - The Internet was for universities and the like, and prior to Win95 on Windows you had to run Trumpet Winsock to get a TCP/IP stack.

I remember using novell networking less and less once Windows for Workgroups 3.11 was released (probably around 1993) because you could easily 'folder share' between PCs and once NT came along it was all over. NT 3.1 AS had a full tcp stack and ran SQL Server 4.21, and it was quickly followed by Win95 and NT 3.51. From 1995 file/print services for small offices were taken care of by Windows and 'plug and play' network cards that worked first-time.

I edited my first comment, but perhaps this deserves its own comment:

https://docs.meteor.com/api/tracker.html

> Meteor has a simple dependency tracking system which allows it to automatically rerun templates and other computations whenever Session variables, database queries, and other data sources change.

> Unlike most other systems, you don’t have to manually declare these dependencies — it “just works”. The mechanism is simple and efficient. When you call a function that supports reactive updates (such as a database query), it automatically saves the current Computation object, if any (representing, for example, the current template being rendered). Later, when the data changes, the function can “invalidate” the Computation, causing it to rerun (rerendering the template).

The Fed site for its macroeconomic FRB/US model, with Python code, is https://www.federalreserve.gov/econres/us-models-about.htm. Here is a quote from the article.

'The common thread running through the Fed’s failure to predict accelerating inflation in 2021 and to track disinflation accurately now is the central bank’s model of the economy—the set of spreadsheets, as it were, that are supposed to help Fed staff economists and leaders understand developments on Main Street.

The primary model, known as FRBUS, is impressive. Central-bank staff can plug some 500 variables into about 170 equations to try to understand how changes to the unemployment rate, household incomes, mortgage rates or myriad other factors might influence economic growth and inflation.

It’s also deeply flawed. FRBUS doesn’t adequately account for the effects of fiscal policy, such as the $10 trillion in cumulative deficit spending since the start of 2020, constituting subsidies and other expenditures Congress and successive administrations pumped into the economy. The model didn’t predict the inflationary consumption explosion of that era, and probably has way overstated the (largely illusory) benefits of government infrastructure spending for future productivity and economic growth. The model chronically misunderstands the labor market, and overestimates the effect of a tight labor market on inflation.'

> It is because of regulations. Nothing is trivial and anything has a cost. Not only it impacts existing businesses, it also make it harder for a struggling new business to compete with the current leaders.

But, in my experience, it is also true that "regulations" is sometimes a convenient excuse for a vendor to not do something, whether or not the regulations actually say that.

Years ago, I worked for a university. We were talking to $MAJOR_VENDOR sales about buying a hosted student email solution from them. This was mid-2000s, so that kind of thing was a lot less mainstream then compared to now. Anyway, suddenly the $MAJOR_VENDOR rep turned around and started claiming they couldn't sell the product to us because "selling it to a .edu.au domain violates the Australian Telecommunications Act". Never been a lawyer, but that legal explanation sounded very nonsensical to me. We ended up talking to Google instead, who were happy to offer us Google Apps for Education, and didn't believe there were any legal obstacles to their doing so.

I was left with the strong suspicion that $MAJOR_VENDOR didn't want to do it for their own internal reasons (product wasn't ready, we weren't a sufficiently valuable customer, whatever) and someone just made up the legal justification because it sounded better than whatever the real reason was
Aeons ago, my mom used to have a tea spoon with an S-shaped cutout (so, meant for stirring not scooping). Worked pretty well. Strange thing is I have never, ever seen a spoon like that since. Not new, not as a novelty gadget, not in thrift stores / eBay etc. Don't know why.. maybe it's not that useful but the idea wasn't half bad.

Also: the smooth edge of a spoon is less likely to scratch a cup than the teeth of a fork. But probably irrelevant for normal use.

P.S. skilled is basically saying: bigger (spoon / fork / other object) mixes better.
