> And while we are at it stop tunneling my data back "home" when I travel. I don't want increased latency.

You might not, but a whole lot of customers who aren't as technically sophisticated did. When T-Mobile first started doing included international data roaming, they didn't tunnel back. That caused a lot of confusion from customers who didn't realize why stuff they expected to work, like checking their bank balance, didn't. (It also made throttling speeds a lot more difficult.)

So to fix that, T-Mobile tunnels you back to a few endpoints in the States. Banking apps are generally happy, as are Netflix and Spotify. Most customers are happy because their phone "just works" the same as it "always has".

For those of us who want to avoid the latency, we get a local SIM for data (if possible).
Freedom is not an on off switch. You can argue against freedom under any context with that kind of argument. Seeing it as a min max problem is better. Maximize freedom while minimizing problems or something.
Mobile phones are a massive privacy hole. Almost by definition.

> As far as I remember, the ICCID never actually appears in standard network messaging.

Yeah, that would be the IMSI (which a given SIM card can have multiple of, e.g. for switching to a more beneficial home network while roaming!)

The ICCID is useful for identifying a given physical SIM card (e.g. so that the phone can link a given user-selected profile name to it/the associated phone line for a "preferred line for contact" indicator in dual-SIM phones), and probably also as an identifier when dynamically assigning a new IMSI over the air.

> for the sake of emergency calling

The IMEI can indeed be an identifier of last resort for emergency calls. I wonder if some countries use it to block abuse/spam calls to emergency services, or more importantly, why some others aren't?

In Germany, for example, SIM-less emergency calls are no longer possible, supposedly due to many people calling the local emergency number to test whether a used phone is in working condition without inserting a SIM card... I don't know what they're doing with the IMSI in that case, and if it's locking these callers out, why they can't do the same for the IMEI.
No it's not. Not as described in the article.
Not sure, I think that there are international lists of stolen IMEIs. Maybe it's just in Europe, though.
Right, I should have been more clear than the words "active intelligence." But as one use of this... would unlimited, say 1 to 10 billion tokens of context, used as a system prompt, with "just" 32k left for the user, allow a model to be updated every day, in between actual training? (This is in the future, where training only takes a month, or much less.)

I guess part of what I really don't understand is how context tokens compare to training weights, as far as value to the final response. Would a giant context window muddle the value of weights?

(Maybe what I am missing is the human-feedback on the training weights? If the giant system prompt I am imagining is garbage, then that would be bad.)

> but the main reason why people want them is to fix the error handling

Why do you think so? Maybe I'm an odd case, but my main use case for enums is for APIs and database designs, where I want to lock down some field to a set of acceptable values and make sure anything else is a mistake. Or for state machines. Error handling is manageable without enums (but I love Option/Result types more than Go's error approach, especially with the ? operator).
Speed governors have worked for much longer than the history of computers. For geo-fencing you don't need GPS and can use proximity. However, I'm pretty sure you would use a very inexpensive microcontroller with GPS in addition to an antenna for an aftermarket addition.

Almost every e-bike and scooter is sold with a speed governor. This is so they meet the regulatory requirements for Class-C electric bicycles.

Presumably they have their grounds for the challenges, and the article says that each drug is covered by numerous patents, but I would be very surprised if Ozempic in particular lost ALL patent protection. Semaglutide itself seems to be a fairly revolutionary product, and reasonably different from Liraglutide (which I think predated it).

They can track you with or without the IMEI. Next identifier is the IMSI read from your SIM card and I guess you're not replacing it every day...

Oh the joy it is to have a corrupted log file which the program that wrote it refuses to even read.

coming from industry, ive really wondered the same thing. Eagle tugs (the little trucks that push your airplane at the airport) zamboni machines, you name it...anything industrial designed to move a load or require a professional driver just doesnt do this. the only stuff that seems content with center seating is some models of steam roller and front-end loaders. mining trucks are all offset seating, and garbage trucks have offset seating on both the left and right side (or as a slidable steering wheel pedal combo.) F1 racecars have a center seat, because its the only passenger.

center seat tesla trucks mean i cannot take an apprentice. Center seat tesla trucks also mean i cant test in a tesla truck for my license or any inspections. it means the entire truck has to be tested on a closed track to get your license, just like construction equipment.

A law that prevents any FWD vehicle from going over 90 MPH, or offering significant insurance discounts, would go a long way towards reducing fatalities.

There is no reason for any casual motorist to be going 91+MPH on surface streets or highways.
> the biological version of a neuron (i.e. a neuron) is much more complicated than the neural network version

This is a difference of degree not of kind, because neural networks are Turning complete. Whatever additional complexity the neuron has can itself be modelled as a neural network.

Edit: meaning, that if the greater complexity of a biological neuron is relevant to its information processing component, then that just increases the number of artificial neural network neurons needed to describe it, it does not need any computation of a different kind.

Frankly, if Tesla continued in this way, it would soon raise antitrust issues. Would you want all your gasoline coming from the same company? Standard Oil was trust-busted a century ago for something similar.

Expect the Supercharger team to reconstitute itself with funding from several automakers and/or VC. It seems to me that the 'just works' feature that we love about Superchargers is going to get some level of competitiveness/innovation soon... like who thought it was a good idea to expose these chargers to rain (awnings seem like a big plus for a competitor to grab share).
Fatality rates drop dramatically with lowered speed. I have yet to see an emergency situation where acceleration makes any difference. Brakes are often an order of magnitude more powerful than the car's engine.

As the amount of data grows, exponents that used to be small become large.

In many applications, the data grows at least as quickly as computer performance. If the fastest known algorithm is superlinear, today's computers take longer to solve today's problems than yesterday's computers solving yesterday's problems. While O(n^2) time algorithms used to be pretty fast in the 80s, today they are often unusable.

We as a society make a significant distinction between declining to provide something in the first place, and choosing choosing to take back something someone already possesses. To wit:

> At what point do we fault someone for not putting in work to delay someone else's death?

That isn't what is happening. I'm faulting someone for putting in work, to expedite someone else's death.

Sure, there's all sorts of math you can do to justify things either way. You can say "oh but it'll cost ten gajillion dollars and the equipment could have saved an entire ethnic group from extinction", as though you have as much certainty about hopeful future hypothetical benefits as you do about the person dying. On the other side you can say "oh for someone age 16 a week is the same proportion of their life so far as 3.5 weeks for someone aged 55, so if we can keep the 16 year old alive for another week that's better than keeping a 55 year old alive for 3 weeks".

It really all comes down to the difference between action and inaction, between causing harm and declining to prevent harm. Is someone who pushes someone in front of a bus no worse than someone who sees a bus coming at someone and doing nothing to warn them? That's a hard sell.
"Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good" applies here. Good luck convincing people to give up their big cars. Or to double their trip length by driving half the speed.

Reno vs ACLU 1997

>> "We are persuaded that the CDA lacks the precision that the First Amendment requires when a statute regulates the content of speech. In order to deny minors access to potentially harmful speech, the CDA effectively suppresses a large amount of speech that adults have a constitutional right to receive and to address to one another. That burden on adult speech is unacceptable if less restrictive alternatives would be at least as effective in achieving the legitimate purpose that the statute was enacted to serve. ... It is true that we have repeatedly recognized the governmental interest in protecting children from harmful materials. But that interest does not justify an unnecessarily broad suppression of speech addressed to adults. As we have explained, the Government may not "reduc[e] the adult population ... to ... only what is fit for children."[1]

..but...

>> Justice O'Connor, joined by Chief Justice Rehnquist, agreed with the decision "as of 1997" but expressed interest in the idea of creating an "adult zone" on the Internet that was made inaccessible to minors through "gateway technology" that had been investigated by a lower district court. If such technology could be introduced, they wrote, zoning portions of the Internet to prohibit adult content could be as constitutional as such zoning is in the physical world.[8]

Can a website with a specific barrier to entry be thought of as "zoning"? Perhaps.
It’s not a particularly fair accounting of the framing of the article, which also profiles people who are working precisely on making the technology more practical and portable and ends on a hopeful note. For the time being it’s a high maintenance way to keep people alive, though, so the ethical dilemmas of resource allocation are real.

> Because It would make roads less safe.

Speeding makes roads less safe too. Wouldn’t you agree that there would be a net reduction in serious injury and death from enforcing the speed limit?

> It’s very common to need to accelerate in emergency situations

Very common to accelerate past the speed limit when you’re already at/above it? Acceleration is usually useful as a safety tool when you’re at a stop and want to cross before oncoming traffic reaches the intersection. Your acceleration from a stop would not be limited beyond what your drivetrain can do.
there are a few reasons though, like life threatening emergencies when the road is basically empty
> one shouldn’t fall into the trap of anthropomorphising and mysticising models based on the ‘neural’ name

One also shouldn't fall into the dual trap of assuming that just because one understands how a model works, it cannot have any bearing on the ever-mysterious operation of the brain.

From the article:

it will generally start with a 35, which is unused as a country calling code

It's "unused" because several country codes start with 35: Ireland, Portugal, Luxembourg, Iceland... (This doesn't mean that phones are actually manufactured there... I have a phone with an IMEI starting in 354 and it's definitely not manufactured in Iceland...)
I think this is only true for older mobile networks. In 4G and 5G, I don't think the IMEI is part of any unencrypted radio message anymore.

Even the IMSI is only used when absolutely necessary, i.e. for the initial attachment procedure when cold starting a device or entering a new routing area; after that, it's replaced by an alias called TMSI to make tracking phone users a bit harder.

New Android versions will supposedly have a switch in their settings to show a warning every time the IMEI or IMSI is transmitted in plantext [1].

I like your take but - not that this was important to TypeScript - JavaScript was literally the assembly language of the web (asm.js) until WASM came along. There was no other target that TypeScript could compile to. I guess that’s why TypeScript simply added types to JS, rather than being a wholly new language, which in turn made it compatible and familiar to potential adopters. It also solved a big problem caused by the growing size of client code bases.

All of that said - this train of thought lead me to discover AssemblyScript! https://www.assemblyscript.org/

I don't really think the sarcastic tone was called for, but the previous poster is right. "I can't name variables in my native language" is objective, but whether or not that's bad is subjective.
I really can't see how you could feel that way about it after spending even just a few minutes (which it sounds like you have) to understand what it means beyond just reacting to terminology, something having a name.

I definitely think it'd be easier to explain a python-like declarative language to someone who asks what programming is than actual python. 'It's just describing the way things should be' vs. 'it's like a series of instructions for how to compute ...'

Certainly not more clever IMO, if anything the opposite. Like I said above or elsewhere in this thread, when I'm managing infrastructure with Terraform I don't want to (and don't have to) be thinking about how to interface with the API, check whether things exist already, their current state, how to move from that to what I want, etc. I just know the way I want it being, I declare that, and the procedure for figuring it out and making it so is the provider's job. That's not smarter! The smart's in the provider! (But ok if you're going to make me flex, I've written and contributed to providers too... But that's Go; not declarative.)

Yeah, I agree there is a great utility to it, and it can be of great benefit. I also still think that it feels a useful criticism to keep mentioning as well because there's that always balance to strike in the huge wide spectrum between "mainstream and fluffy and almost void of content" and "deep and interesting but hard to follow and more clearly for a niche audience.

It's a bit of a hysteresis, right, of constantly trying to fight for that "perfect" (nonexistent?) fit of strong content to largest audience. Like with most science itself, you experiment with some content, use the reviews and criticism you get back to compensate for the next content. When I accuse Brian Cox or NdGT "over-compensating" a little to the broad it's not that I don't think they are doing the right thing, it's that I hope their next hysteresis swing might go a bit denser again and maybe criticism like mine will be useful if either of them read HN.

Similarly, I respect Bill Nye's attempts so much because it seems (from the outside, from mixed reviews I've read, from other people talking about the shows) to be, if not "failing" then certainly not as successful as they could be. As science reminds us, failed experiments are useful too, and I don't necessarily want people to believe in the boring null hypothesis that "People don't want harder science discussions" and I don't want for people like Bill Nye to give up on trying to broach the hard topics (like Climate Change and more science that should be mainstream but is fighting disinformation and/or disinterest). (Not that I think Bill himself would give up, but that it might discourage people trying to follow in Bill's footsteps.) I would love to see more of these "edutainers" trying to do the hard stuff more of the time, get a wilder balance/mix. I want to see more stuff in general in the spectrum as a whole. I don't think "celebrity" is necessarily zero sum and that these "edutainers" are competing among each other for the same audiences, but there does seem to be some scarcity factors for "celebrity scientist" at play to account for.
Yeah, but based on the guiding principle of democracy (govt by the will of the people), you'd hope to see them do that immediately instead of waiting years and years to do it when it is most strategically advantageous. I know politics is gamey like that by nature, but it sucks to see. The lag time between a policy becoming overwhelmingly popular and it actually being implemented is often long enough to radically alter the course of millions of peoples' lives.
I always still split up "sysadmin" from "deploy".

Ephemeral setups (amongst which k8s) remove that need but introduce a big load of other stuff.

Having a VPS that is managed by sysadmins (users with sudo rights, authed with keys) and on which partly overlapping "deploy" users can write to small parts and maybe do a passwordless "sudo sysctl restart fooapp" but only that, is a nice and simple setup.

I manage at least seven of these. And nothing in me even considers porting this to my k8s infra.

Edit: The reason for this setup is simple and twofold: deploy is safe and clear: deployers can be confident that whatever crap they pull, the server will churn on, data will be safe, recovery is possible. And all devs/ops having their own keys and accts gives a trail, logs and makes it very easy to remove that contractor after she did her work.
