So when does the blowback start to happen?

The integrated car system is just stupid. Your "opt in" to smart systems should all be done through a mobile phone that can be easily upgraded and replaced.

At most a car system should just be a dumb interface to a console screen, microphone, speakers, via bluetooth or plugged wire.

Also, keyless fobs are terrible, their failure conditions around battery failure and hardware failure are awful, they can't be replaced easily, they are outrageously expensive, and they open up far too many vectors for electronic theft of cars. Every fob I've had has a shelf life of about 5-7 years, while keys will last decades.

How is there not a "low tech" option for all the boomers? Kind of like the manual vs automatic transmission option?
It's not a very good cash hustle if people actually use it. From what I can tell, it's a one time $200 payment and you can use the LLM indefinitely. If the device costs $100 to produce and ship that's only $100 left to cover compute... forever.

It seems they want the compute to run on device, but that doesn't seem to be the case right now[0]. I don't know the specs of the device, but pretty sure it'd have to cost more than $200 to run an LLM locally.

No, I am thinking of encoding/json. It uses Go's exception handlers to pass errors around, much like the code above.
It is outlined in an 85 page filing to the ICJ—the world highest court—how this is a genocide.

Your rebuttal is not a rebuttal, nobody is claiming that “every bad thing or territorial war, even of conquest, is a genocide”. People are claiming, and are being backed in said claim by several governments, international organization, the UN, and the world court, that this particular thing is a genocide.

Lacking some domestic equivalent, "not having tech giants" means that hundreds of billions of euros annually are flowing out of the region to benefit someone else instead of the citizens of that region. Forever.

Add to that the political and cultural soft power accrued and also brain drain that both come with that and, yeah, that does seem to be a pretty big weakness.
>I visited Montreal last year and finding a recreation cannabis shop was not easy. Google maps is filled with "head shops" that don't sell weed, and apparently at some point all shops became nationalized (correct me if I'm wrong)

Quebec is an oddball, they did provincially run them. They are quite available still, search 'cannabis' in google/apple maps and they'll be available.
Because you are the product they sell to other people.

The government privacy/rights exposure is just a side effect, it's not some governmental conspiracy.

They want to sell you. Your location information, implied demographics, etc inform advertising and marketing.

Even if they said no to the government, the government can either get it from the second-line databases that track you, or in sufficient cases, the three letter agencies certainly have all the information from either the automakers or, again, the next round of consumer information databases that buy the info from the auto companies.
You really have a hard time dealing with differing opinions. You asked a question and I answered and you're dismissive.
>But there's as many shuttered pot shops in Toronto as there are open ones. I think the industry is still shaking out and there's a lot of volatility.

That's fair as well. Being invested in cannabis is a whole other beast.
Care to elaborate, for the curious? A quick google on Jesse Lyu doesn't turn up much besides his own hype. Although he does appear to at least be obfuscating the truth, failing to admit that the only reason the "bootleg APK" isn't working is because of an IMEI whitelist.

"But for the rest of us, the era of cushy jobs with healthy salaries and light responsibilities might be ending."

Wait. That was a thing? This article also mentions, "Last year saw the demise of middle managers." Is that all this article is talking about?

Because a more appropriate way of addressing this is probably talking about what market shift is currently happening, and how economies experience cycles of expansion and contraction because of industry growth and changes.
Yeah like I said you're really annoying
Looks interesting. But not having the option to self host is extremely disappointing, and will keep me from trying it.
I understand, money has to be made, but the free limitations, are insanely tightly scoped IMHO.
And the next step up, is huge in pricing.

I'm sure that would drive people to adopt the likely great tech behind this.

It is. It requires an attitude that restrictive property rights takes liberty away from the public, and so must be balanced to minimize the restrictions they impose to be legitimate at all.

Amsterdam Schiphol Airport has drinking fountains at most if not all toilets[0]. There's been a short period recently apparently where they were getting replaced and so were unavailable.

I'm not sure that's true. Now, the white person may not end up being charged, or their punishment may be greatly reduced (due to race, class status, and access to council), but what makes you think that the police are less likely to get involved at the same level of violence?
I'm open to alternatives, but I haven't experienced any language constructs that strike as good of a balance between forcing you to handle errors/options when a function indicates it returns them, and allowing you to do so without too much ceremony. I don't think match is enough on it's own, but when combined with if-let/let-else/?-operator I don't feel like I'm sacrificing significant time and effort in dealing with Results/Options, so I'm not encouraged to cut corners and write worse code to avoid returning them in the first place.

The idiomatic way to write Go discourages you from robust error handling; return an opaque error, which callers will probably deal with as a string (or bubble-up as much as possible) because knowing its potential concrete types requires either reading source code or having documentation available (as the idiomatic function return type won't tell you anything about it). The path of least resistance only goes as far as forcing you to acknowledge there might be an error, it doesn't help you make good decisions about how to deal with it.

I think without also having to learn about lifetimes and dealing with async that this still presents an attractive trade-off for people who want to be quickly productive and don't care as much about garbage collection.

I work in cyber security and use many of the concepts often. The root cause of many poor outcomes are poor assumptions, prioritizing ideology over customer value, and misaligned shared mental models.

I use a simple doc format to address. It's based on evaporating clouds.

1. What's the shared (understanding of current state with a focus on objectivity?
2. What are the problems with current state? Subjectivity is OK here.
3. What's desired state?
4. What are the experiments we can run ASAP to learn if our understanding of desired state is correct and learn how we can get closer.

Simple concept. Works great.
You have aptly, if inadvertently, perfectly illustrated the absurdity of local environmental regulations. The no-growth ordinances of Seattle are undoubtedly responsible for destroying millions of trees outside the city of Seattle.
There is no need to get anything more complex than needed; the Rabbit R1 is just an Android phone, pre-installed with only one app, with an action button bound, and that's it.
Well, it's technically a system-level launcher which means it has more permissions and access than a standard app.
They're absolutely competing with Starlink.

SES operates, among many other satellites, the O3B fleet, a MEO constellation providing high-throughput, low (compared to GEO) latency data connections for marine, aviation, and defense users.

Intelsat has a partnership with OneWeb (itself owned by Eutelsat), a direct Starlink competitor in LEO. Intelsat also runs most of what used to be Gogo inflight (the satellite part of it anyway) for several US and international airlines.

Just looking at the commercial aviation market (i.e. in-flight Wi-Fi), between their deployed GEO, MEO, and LEO solutions, they serve a significant fraction of the market today.
Yes that's what I mean, speculative decoding does not decrease the performance in terms of quality. I guess my wording was confusing on this.
It's important to note that in wholesale markets, regular market participants do NOT set their own prices.

Assuming that you have the ability to generate power (e.g. you own a peaker plant), you submit offers effectively saying "I'm OK providing power for at least 20$/MWh, up to 100 MWh".

The market operator then solves a very complex optimization problem (called 'optimal power flow') which may result in power prices being very expensive in certain areas, due to transmission congestion.
They mean you can buy the adapter, but it won’t work in Turkey as the EMEI isn’t on the official allowed list and isn’t registered.
I would be surprised. Sure money is good, either direct (if taxes are paid) and the trickle down stuff from a lot of big salaries. But we don't tolerate employee 'abuse' that is rampart in US, we don't like too-big-to-fail, mega corporations messing massively with laws that should govern them.

And the massive success in US is at least partially a side effect of being able to be harsh, move very fast (ie fire half of company when needed). We don't have such adaptability, some say for good reason, some disagree.

I don't think any smart politician doesn't see this clearly, but we lean way more left generally than even democrats in US, so at the end directions taken are roughly in same direction, but otherwise unique.

As long as there is overall freedom of movement and thought and cca fair competition we are all better off as such, I have US colleagues who love it here, and I know few folks who are happy across the pond.
I don't know if we have enough facts in the Texas case to guess if a human in the same situation would have been able to handle the situation better.

All the facts I've seen are there was a vehicle stopped in traffic lanes with its lights off. At least one human driver ahead of the accident car that avoided the stopped vehicle, but was close enough to observe the collision.

There's lots of scenarios that fit these facts, some of which are hard for humans; all of which are hard for driver assistance software that ignores stationary objects.

Even if an active human driver would be likely to still hit the other car, they may have begun braking sooner and reduce the energy involved in the collision.

If the accident car was closing following the observer car, both in the same lane as the stopped car, and the observer car changed lanes to avoid the stopped car 'at the last second', yeah, that's hard for humans too when there's limited visibility ahead of the car in front (which is a good reason to avoid following so closely, but things happen). If it was just light traffic at high speeds and a stopped car, I'd expect an active driver to at least reduce speed significantly. Yes, it was at night and the stopped car had no lights; however, the accident car's headlights should illuminate the stopped car's reflectors if nothing else, and given the observer car had passed the accident car recently, there should have been some light cast from its headlights as well.

This is what AI is now - sprinkled on top without any actual value.
Non-deterministic nature of these models is definitely a concern. Interesting to see how companies implementing generative interface circumvent this. Maybe they create a set of fixed generic UI elements or write a system prompt describing general design guidelines. Still wouldn't fix it 100%.
Soon to be a question asked about the entire internet pre-2019.
Nice, thanks. I've download the "Full Report" and will give it a read.
Sure, as I read the parent post, they were just saying you don't have to dress it up and pretend it is a different reason.
You're the one who brought up the "crack wars" narrative; the article doesn't mention crack at all.

It does, however, state (contrary to your claim) that murders are _down_ (by 34%). If you are taking a narrower view of "still" and only counting the Covid era spike (generally agreed to be due to people being forced to spend more time in small, socially isolated groups) I would note that 1) this still has nothing to do with crack and 2) it would be an example of exactly the sort of cherry picking you claim to object to.
> I guess it’s limited for trying to do any ObjC++ / C++ / Metal

The last time I tried, I couldn't get it to work, except...

One of the documented ways of creating compiled Metal kernels is to provide the source code as a string in your Swift code. And that works in Swift Playgrounds. It will compile and run your C++ Metal kernels, but it either works or doesn't. You get no compiler output.
Ask HN: Early "pizza box" computers compared to modern (mini) PCs as servers?
Hi everyone,

I was reading that latest Elon Musk book some weeks ago, in which it’s mentioned in one of his early ventures, he used “pizza box” computers as servers, I believe they should be some SPARC stations.

So I looked into Wikipedia and checked out their specs. No doubt that ordinary home PCs today are much powerful than these pizza box servers.

So I was wondering that since people could use these “pizza box computers”, e.g. SPARC stations, to host web services/apps towards customers 20 years ago or so. Does it mean that even with mini PCs or home PCs (say, with Linux or BSD) of today, we can host similar number of users with much cheaper hardware?

Or would you say that “pizza box” servers have some kinds of special points that normal home PC/computers that usually do not have? Given that web apps have become much more complexity, say with Rails or Django, so we need more powerful hardwares?

Thank you very much!
I mean, given they can't _count_, it would be pretty astonishing were it otherwise.
We are arguing about the meaning of words, especially words thrown around as libels to try and delegitimize justified self defense.

I'm sorry if the facts don't agree with your desires for something to be true. War is terrible and civilians die in all wars, especially those in urban areas where one party tunnels underneath civilian infrastructure to protect themselves while leaving civilians exposed to fire.

So the people subject to extra-territorial jurisdiction also get to participate in Austin elections? Do they have representation in the city government? I guess that's a form of "less control" for sure.
What is being used to build the data map -- how does one project these document vectors into 2D space?
> In 2022, those who are male, younger people and those who are Black accounted for considerably larger shares of perceived offenders in violent incidents than their respective shares of the U.S. population. Men, for instance, accounted for 79% of perceived offenders in violent incidents, compared with 49% of the nation’s 12-and-older population that year. Black Americans accounted for 25% of perceived offenders in violent incidents, about twice their share of the 12-and-older population (12%).

Extremely misleading paragraph. It implies that Black Americans are maligned for being criminals more than their true share of the population; but the arrest data shows that blacks are 27% of all those arrested, and more than 50% of those arrested for murder. https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2018/crime-in-the-u.s.-...
> You're assuming a deontological basis for ethical rules

I am not at all. What I'm doing is saying that if a person thinks lying is unethical, then lying is an unethical behavior by their own code. If a person doesn't, then (in my ethical viewpoint, because it's a form of fraud), the person is unethical as a baseline and should at the very least own up to that. That includes such excuses as "they lie to me, so it's OK to lie to them" or "that's just how the game is played." Such people should be avoided/not hired.
can you elaborate on this? my understanding was that headless CMS means that it has no frontend at all, and you build your own using whatever web dev tools you like. iaw it is used to integrate CMS functionality into my website without hosting the full website inside the CMS.
Any burning organics will be different sample to sample, and any "smell" judgement of such will be subjective.

Almost objectively, we all have anecdotal memories of being overwhelmed by tobacco residue in a car, room, clothing etc.

^ Not like "someone just smoked a cigarette in here, yuck" but more like "this room is destroyed from 20 years of tobacco smoke, we can't sell this".

I would suspect that very very few people have ever sat in a car and said "someone has smoked cannabis in here for years, it's destroyed."
The Phoenix Project should be required reading for anyone in the management chain of software development, IT, devops, etc. Especially non-technical CEOs.
How is this conceptually different from tracking an embedding for a single character or training a lora on it?
> a large (monopoly)

Those things are not linked. Large and monopoly are very different. Your example of engines is good, there isn't afaik a monopoly on building engines. Even a small number of huge auto makers are still competing against each other.

> A monopoly is bad, but you can go too far in the other direction as well. I don't know how to decide what the best answer is (I'm not even aware of anyone who has made a useful argument for any particular compromise)

I agree, I think the general aim with the EU makes sense which is about use of power in one field to control another. So google are good at search but that doesn't mean they get to make their own shopping attempt rank higher than others. If they have 90% of the search market then fine if that came from being better than everyone else but their shopping offering has to be better than others.

Yes, but afaict not with the lack of giants. It's more "we want to have lots of successful startups like in silicon valley". Some become giants, most not.

The article provides an alright overview but omits a critical aspect: the correlation between race and crime rates is strikingly high. For example, FBI data shows vast differences in murder rates by race:

African American: 33.6 homicides per 100,000 people
American Indian and Alaska Native: 12.9 per 100,000
Hispanic: 6.9 per 100,000
White: 3.3 per 100,000
Asian and Pacific Islander: 1.7 per 100,000

There are other crimes in which the numbers are flipped, such as gambling and financial crimes.

If we're serious about making things better and stopping violence, or whatever crime, we need to be upfront about who it's impacting the most and why.

Last year I found a laserdisc player on the sidewalk in San Francisco in 100% working condition. I took it in and got a few discs at local record stores.

It was the second time I saw a discarded laserdisc player on a San Francisco sidewalk. I can't recall when the other time was, maybe 2019ish.

Edit: If anyone reading this is in the Bay Area looking for a big laserdisc haul, the owner of the Video Room in Oakland is retiring and has a large inventory that you would need to contact him privately for. I spoke to him once. He said he opened the store in the early 80s as a LaserDisc rental place, and he has thousands of discs in his garage.

The reason "United States" appears under the Netflix selection for "Oppenheimer" is solely to indicate that you can still watch it from the US if you're using a VPN (in this case, we're featuring NordVPN since we can offer a discount for their services). However, I do agree that we need a clearer way to communicate from the start that "United States" (in this case) is included only with additional VPN support.

Show HN: Lightweight Tool for Image Segmentation with Text Prompting
