You see, this is where it gets confusing. ASP refers to a specific technology, active server pages, but it's also the overarching term used for anything to do with dotnet and the web. So you get this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/tutorials/choo... - you can have an entirely frontend SPA, in at least two ways, and still be called "ASP.NET"

I have an application which only serves over GRPC. It has to pull in "Asp.Net" nuget packages, because that's the branding under which the Kestrel HTTP2 server lives.
Interesting seeing V2X on HN, given that I'm currently researching V2G academically.

One thing I've found in my studies is that services like frequency regulation are often described as very helpful or apt for EVs, but online discussion doesn't seem to talk much about the different electricity markets or services. I wonder if anyone here with experience either from an automotive or from an energy side as any views or opinions they'd like to share?

(If anyone wants to ask anything about V2G feel free to ask, though I am not an expert I'll try my best.)

Of course they would disagree. Their entire existence is based upon this fiction. The fact that they are attempting to reinforce this narrative doesn’t prove anything. If Netanyahu appears in handcuffs in The Hague I’d be forced to reassess my position, or better yet one of the too-many-to-count US war criminals. But I’m quite confident that’s never going to happen.

Talk is cheap, and it doesn’t matter what the ICC says, its role is defined by what it actually does. Which is as I’ve described.

> Honestly i don't think you can put blame on any single individual...

IMHO this is actually the biggest problem with modern application development, no accountability at all and everybody hiding behind somebody else instead of admitting failure, so all one can hope for is a poor compromise that's the average of many opinions (each single one of them even probably good, but not when mixed with random other opinions).

Funny enough, it's the same problem, everybody weaseling around a clear "No" ;)
It may be on topic, but I'm not sure how you get to selfless if you're promoting your venture.
> ASP.NET Core is a web framework for .NET

ASP.NET Core is not a web framework for .NET; it's at least four different web frameworks you can choose between. It's more like the overarching branding for anything web-related in the dotnet ecosystem.

Would this be a good extension when you want to load balancer log entries (status, response body, headers etc)?

I think a columnar database store would be more efficient than normal row-based databases? load balancer log entries could be considered something similar to analytics events.
"AI assistants are bad" isn't the take. The thing making people feel icky/uncomfortable about Her - and about the 4o demos - is not the idea of Samantha but the idea of Theodore. It's about nerds' idealized AI versions of womanhood. Tirelessly flirty, giggly servants who they can interrupt and talk over as they please, that come without the inconvenient features of personhood.

It doesn't look like there's the ability to change the URL. The only options are to change the API key, model name (from a predefined list), the prompt, and the token limit.
Depends on what are you manufacturing. 200 watts from square meter roof is doable. 3x3 meter is about right space for a single machine with all the enclosures, tables, etc (in Europe). The average sized machines can be used with single phase allowing 3,6 kW power consumption. Half of it comes from solar panels. Halving power consumption is good imho. This math does not work for steel factory. The math is
much better for assembly line type plant where only power tools <1 kW are used.

Google Search linked back to the original source. That was the use case: to find a place to go, and you went there. Way less scummy start than OpenAI.

Don't compare AI with commute. Compare AI with (human) remote work. AI will never be cheaper than remote work and AI can't replace any work that can't be remote work.

I wish we had more V1G, aka grid-interactive charging.

It's extremely unsexy, but upon further inspection it's surprisingly great. It doesn't add costly cycles to the onboard traction battery, but it still can provide similar grid services (virtual spinning inertia, demand response, distribution network balancing, etc). Better yet it should be a software update for every existing electric car, even those without bidirectional hardware.

Ideally I could tell my car, "always charge to [40]% immediately, then charge to [80]% by [8 AM] [Weekdays]." Then the car automatically participates in a fleet battery scheme, earning me money overnight by providing grid services.

Bonus points if it also knows that I have TOU metering, and automatically optimizes for minimum cost.
Ah, then yes, different.

However this deterrent effect is unfortunately conditional on the full risk of the outcome being apparent in advance to investors and indeed investees. I fear that often it is not, as in this 3M case. This boils down to our drive for progress leading to employing new technology beyond our ability to evaluate its risk, as e.g. currently with "AI". Deterrence of that cannot be acheived at the corporate level. It is a societal problem.

ColorFoil: Investigating Color Blindness in Large Vision and Language Models
I feel that bidirectional charging is the EV feature that most consumers don't know that they want.

My current vehicle is fine, but when I'm in the market.

I want an EV/PHEV vehicle that has enough power output to entirely power up my home, and serve as energy storage for solar. It avoids the need for a IC generator, and a power wall.

They are a powerwall on wheels. When then battery age out in 10 years, you swap the vehicle.

Gensets and in-home battery storage seem very redundant, when a bidirectional charging PHEV can do both.

I've entertained the idea of picking up a Prius and hacking the electronics to act on this.

Rooftop solar is huge in Holland because they still allow the users to detract their delivered kWhs from their bill. Regardless of the price at that time. It's called "salderen".

This makes deploying solar panels highly cost effective but it basically makes daytime summer power so ubiquitous that they're having a hard time using it up. And on a global scale it's a waste of resources because Holland doesn't get an awful lot of sun.

Meanwhile in Spain almost nobody has panels because they only get the momentary value which is not worth it during sunny tints unless you use it to run your own AC.

my optimistic hypothesis is he really wants to control AGI because he believes he can make a more efficient use of it than other people. he might even be right and that's what scares me, because I don't trust his measures of efficiency.

There are only so many combinations of 160x160 pixel arrangements but Adobe will still protect theirs.

Context matters. Adobe cannot defend its logo in all contexts. The laws make this clear. You are ignoring the context of Scarlet Johansen portraying an AI character in a movie then her likeness being used in another AI character without her consent. Had she never starred in Her, had she never been approached by OpenAI, this would not be a story.

And also don't forget the student fees for international students have absolutely exploded. 10 years ago the fees for international students were £6k/year, now it's £30k/year. Like honestly, who can afford this, when you can study at most other EU universities completely free(or even get a stipend in fact).

>>as they UK government is constricting the supply of student visas (because immigration)

Can't stop myself thinking that it's probably at least partially because of scaremongering you see in newspapers about those lazy immigrants who pretend to be students but are actually coming to work here. Which ok, I'm sure is happening in places, but it can't be even remotely significant on any kind of scale, but the reaction now is to even further constraint our own supply of well educated people, it's madness.
Sneaky? Hidden?

It is _opt in_ and it’s not the main feature of this release. If it was the first slide you people would be complaining about that too. Maybe it’s best you just uninstall iTerm2 and use the default terminal if you can’t be sure you won’t trip one day, accidentally open the preferences, and enter in an OpenAI key by accident.

Google search linked to your content on your site. It didn't steal your content, it helped people find it.

ChatGPT does not help people find your content on your site. It takes your content and plays it back to people who might have been interested in your site, keeping them on its site. This is the opposite of search, the opposite of helping.

And robots.txt is a way of allowing/disallowing search indexing, not stealing all the content from the site. I agree that something like robots.txt would be useful, but consenting to search indexing is a long, long way from consenting to AI plagiarism.

All that matters for social media companies is user growth and retention. It's always possible to monetize attention. That's why Reddit, a nearly two decade old company that posted a $500M loss last quarter, is worth $10B.

Facebook didn't monetize until 5 years in, YouTube didn't really ramp up ads until at least 5 years in either. And it bled money for at least a decade. Snapchat also 4 years or so before monetization became a focus. WhatsApp barely had any revenue when it was purchased for $19B.

I'm not saying Truth Social is in the same caliber at all as the above companies, but inflated tech valuations happen every single cycle (see WeWork). There's over 1200 private startups right now with a valuation over $1B, many of which have low revenue: https://www.cbinsights.com/research-unicorn-companies
These aren't mutually exclusive—it's perfectly possible to be fully aware that this version of iTerm introduces optional AI and be concerned about it. Dismissing these concerns as people "ignoring [the optional aspect] and writing all sorts of misinformation" is disingenuous and unfair.

The most obvious concern is that it becomes non-optional in future, but there are plenty of related concerns ranging all the way up to the general principle of the use of AI technology.

OpenAI's Original Mission Statement:

Advance digital intelligence in a way that benefits humanity, without the need to generate financial return.

That bit about financial return has since been removed.

Until now no one could point to a human story of what that meant, instead pointing to the shift from a 501(c)(3) to a for profit model which people don’t understand so it just doesn’t resonate.

But now, we have a human story of someone that makes a living on their likeness, the CEO approaching them for licensing rights, then allegedly just training the AI on their likeness and stealing it for financial gain without compensation when the CEO couldn’t get a deal done.

AI is dystopian to start with, which is why the initial model was created as a non-profit to benefit everyone, but now we have a human story validating the danger and dystopian beliefs surrounding AI.

On top of everything the Founder was personally involved in making these decisions and even Tweeted “her” as a sick joke referencing the actress’ movie where she voiced an AI.
That's weird, because her friends and family thought it sounded like her too.

> But if openai had started out by seeking permission to train on any and every piece of content out there...

But why would anyone seek permission to use public data? Unless you've got Terms and Conditions on reading your website or you gatekeep it to registered users, it's public information, isn't it? Isn't public information what makes the web great? I just don't understand why people are upset about public data being used by AI (or literally anything else. Like open source, you can't choose who can use the information you're providing).

In the case being discussed here, it's obviously different, they used the voice of a particular person without their consent for profit. That's a totally separate discussion.
"how did people live before ACs were invented? can't imagine"

You can tell from the fact that Florida was almost empty, just half a million people in 1900. It didn't grow too much until about 1950 (2.8 million), when the population started to soar - through immigration, not by having a wild birthrate. Nowadays, 23 million, and more are coming every day, even though the place is notorious for its hurricanes.

Ubiquitous AC that made southern states more attractive is one of the reasons why the Northeast no longer dominates the US economy and politics.

> Yes. That is both the letter of the law and the intent of the law. That was the specific case with the Germans for whom this law was introduced, and that is how it has been applied in other areas as well.

Do you know of a good place to read about this?

> There is no financial incentive, other than far more general financial considerations such as the expense of living in e.g. Tel Aviv

This seems false to me. I don't know many details, but it's pretty often discussed that there are different incentives. I can link you to a B'Tselem report about this, but I assume you dislike them as much as I do. So here's instead a CBS story about there being financial incentives to encourage settlers (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/israeli-govt-offers-incentives-...).

And if that doesn't work for you, here's a Hebrew-language source about why there's been a rise in home purchases in the WB: https://bizreef.co.il/%D7%94%D7%96%D7%99%D7%A0%D7%95%D7%A7-%...

I'll quote a few relevant sentences (translated to English):

> For example, the government eased the rules for obtaining loans to purchase properties in the area. Additionally, it lowered the taxes on property purchases. Moreover, the government created incentives for entrepreneurs to build in the area.

> As for the military protecting civilians, does not every military protecting it's civilians?

Of course, but the specific accusation against settlers is that they go and build settlements, sometimes purposefully to disrupt Palestinian villages, and then the army has to go surround them and protect them, disrupting the villages more.

There have been numerous terrible incidents, since October 7th, of settlers using various forms of intimidation to drive out Palestinians, e.g. setting houses on fire, sometimes while being protected (but not stopped) by the IDF.

> The merits of the case are mostly irrelevant because the ICC doesn’t have the authority to enforce any of its judgements. Any country that has one of its citizens (or leaders) convicted by the ICC cannot be compelled to honor the judgement, it can only do so voluntarily

This misunderstands how icc works. Generally the accused has to be in ICC custody for the case to go forward. Once the accused is in custody, the ICC has all sorts of power over them.

Perhaps you mean arresting people is hard. That is true, but the merit part only cones after that part.
