This reply is factually irrelevant, a minor bounce back from pandemic closures is unrelated to the fact that the spread of e-commerce lead to massive closures of bookstores a couple decades ago. They have by no means recovered to anything resembling their pre-Amazon numbers.
Not who you are replying to, but there was a shift in opinion about what the US actually was and the powers the states had.

One of those shifts was instead of people saying the "United States are" people started saying the "United States is".

This change caused a shift away from the primacy of the 10th amendment. Instead of the US government just handling the military, foreign affairs, etc it started butting into more and more things happening within the country. Look at Wickard v Filburn for example.

The 14th amendment also started to be reinterpreted to mean the incorporation of the Bill of Rights. Prior to this reinterpretation the thought was that the Bill of Rights applied to the federal government not to the state governments. The federal government was not allowed to establish a state church, for example, but the states could (and did!). The federal government couldn't ban guns but the sates could.

So the states themselves lost a lot of rights and the people did as well (see my example of Wickard v Filburn).
What a condescending comment. There is always such snarky comments on HN whenever smoking Cannabis is mentioned. I was under the impression that the average HN reader had above average intelligence and open mindedness, but posts like this remind me often that isnt true.

EDIT: I have apologised for the tone of this post below, and come to a very amicable conclusion with OP.
The open source code is at https://github.com/vb000/LookOnceToHear and the research paper is at https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.06289

So perhaps this is not as out of reach as many pop-science articles. I’d love to hear if anyone is able to get this working independently.
Consider:
4. Someone else logs unencrypted traffic for whatever reason and the attacker gets access to the log later.

MITM means that you need to be in the middle at the time of the attack and so is more limited than an attack that works on logs.
I don't know what you mean. They are already blocking adblock users on YouTube and there is certainly no exodus happening there. A few people complain about it and get a handful of upvotes on social media from their friends, but it hasn't even come close to rising to "backlash" status.
A net migration out of California does not mean an increase in available housing. There are a lot of families (adults+kids) where the children grew up and then can’t afford a home in California and left the state. A household of 4 then becomes a household of 2 but the housing supply stays the same.
I wonder what we are going to do with all of the car parking that will become as obsolete as horse stables.
Smoke alarms don’t react with marijuana/cigarette smoke unless you deliberately blow the smoke into it. I don’t know why but I’ve smoked in my room countless times and it never went off. It’s not a faulty detector either because it has went off before!
CVTs are also much cheaper to manufacture than traditional transmissions.

What's the argument you're trying to make?

That because there's a chance Kagi will become bad, there's no point in using it now and thus we should stick to Google, which is already bad? That doesn't make sense.

The same line of thought can be applied to anything. We don't know what will happen in the future, therefore we can't be sure that things won't go bad. Is there even a way to have such a guarantee?

Assuming I don't want to use Google (because it's bad) and I won't use Kagi or Perplexity or others (because they might become bad), what's the realistic solution? Roll my own search engine? I don't have resources and I don't trust the future me to maintain it.

> He proposed the thought experiment specifically as a less ambigious replacement

Yes, Turing's issue with the question is really the same as mine: we don't really know what we mean when we say something or someone "can think". That means that the question cannot be answered because we don't know what the question is. "What is the answer to the question of life, the universe, and everything?" ... "42".

What I'm saying is that Turing didn't propose the imitation game as a test for whether a machine can think at all. He proposed it in the hopes of redirecting the question to one that is both answerable and meaningful -- but it's a different question than "can a machine think?".

I feel the same about cannabis, and in my state of Texas, delta 8 THC. A low to moderate dose allows me to stop overthinking and just chill. It helps me enjoy movies instead of getting anxious or bored or distracted as I often now do.

It's a great alternative to alcohol for those who want to use a chemical to "take the edge off".

And of course, the dominant party in Texas has pledged to bring up a bill to heavily restrict or ban delta 8 in the state "for the children".
Mostly likely, they have an iPhone and this is for a need they had, so they developed it to solve their own need first.

I work in this industry, and you have it right. Peaker plants are still valuable and serve a different need than solar. We might one day get to a point where batteries are the better option, but for now it's still just not economically sound.

This about it ruining their view and lowering market value of what should be the last house they live in.

On a side note - I am very excited about the cost lowering for whole house battery systems. In places like Arizona, and California where I live, we get enough sun that 2 of those can almost ensure the ability to not even need the grid for most people that have space to install the panels.
I don't need to, there simply isn't a universally true notion of rights, it has to be socially defined, whether you're a communist or a capitalist.

I certainly agree with you : but "better for humans" is a morally grounded position.

Sure. How is that a problem?
Someone please prove me wrong, but afaik HE's tunnelbroker requires a sane IPv4 environment, i.e. doesn't work with CGNAT. I'd love to keep using it but since we switched ISPs to one using CGNAT I don't think I can use tunnelbroker.

We switched ISPs so we could get better than 6/.768Mbps DSL w/60ms ping. Now we are on 15/2 fixed wireless w/20ms ping and CGNAT.

A handle to an object. I think that is the main difference that is also visible in tools like PowerShell (as compared to the UNIX shell).

I finally found something that worked with my fingerprint scanner, only to learn that the scan can't unlock the keyring or something -- it's a password but not actually a password. So I'd unlock the desktop with the fingerprint scanner, and then an indeterminate number of seconds later something would pop up asking me to type a password for my keyring.

So now, instead, I just type my password to begin with, and it's all gravy. I'd have to type it anyway.

They may not internalise it instantly. They certainly do "remember" (in the colloquial sense) by writing it to a hard drive somewhere.

Except, that's how a bank works.

The money in your checking account or savings account isn't sitting in a vault, it's being loaned out to other customers of the bank immediately. But when you put money in an FDIC-insured bank account, you have the US Government guaranteeing that you'll get your money back even if the bank's investments of your money go bankrupt. Also, there's a complex set of regulated and audited independent counterparties with transparency and collateral agreements to separate custody, trade settlement, etc.

When you put money into a Bahamas based entity that is simultaneously the bank, exchange, broker, and hedgefund, you get none of these things, and so you just have to wait until it collapses and then hope to get your money back after bankruptcy court in a few years.

This is a really nihilistic article, coming from someone who seems to have pretty much given up on doing anything but existing as effortlessly as possible. I hope that's a decision they came to rationally, and not just a symptom of profound depression. Assuming the former, it's a fine way to live for them, I guess. But imagine all the complex systems of the world—physical, economic, philosophical, technological—that are required for to support that life; it's much easier to check out when there's a functioning society around you. For all its many failures and shortcomings, the world is worth maintaining a relationship with.

It really depends on the kind of smoke alarm. I'm sure most home style smoke alarms aren't set off by that, since they're usually an ionization style detector. Photoelectric detectors can be far more sensitive though. Moreso, I imagine the detection has less to do with the type of smoke, and the density of it. Directly exhaling into a smoke alarm can set off the detector, when the smoke is at its most dense.

I'm not attempting to refute it. I'm suggesting that the idea that only the Liberals appoint partisan judges is absurd, because they're all corrupt.
If the percentage of noisy apartments were 90%, the probability of me randomly landing in 6 quiet apartments out of 6 would be 0.1^6, or one in a million. If the percentage of noisy apartments was 10%, that probability would be 0.9^6 = 0.53. So, given my experience, the latter case is 0.53 / 0.000001 = 530,000 times more probable.

I started habitually smoking weed when my spouse abandoned me and my daughter to be with someone else. At first, it managed the pain. Later it was for the anger and the loneliness. And when I finally healed enough and moved on, the pandemic hit, and it was for the boredom. And when it lifted, it was because I just plain liked it.

Eventually though I took a break. And when I did I noticed how many moments of my own life I was oblivious to, I decided to extend my break. Suddenly things I’d given up on seemed much more possible. Things that seemed impossible seemed much more worth the effort anyway. Then I tried another joint because I missed smoking with my partner — I didn’t especially enjoy it, but I found a reason for another, and another, and soon enough I was high again all day and it took months for me to notice what had happened: I was no longer doing all these things that I was proud of, and was not even feeling more satisfied with my life. I was just highly motivated to seek out that specific kind of satisfaction, which came to the exclusion of so many others.

I’m glad weed was an option, but it is addictive, and that addiction leads to rationalization designed to dismiss the steep opportunity cost of being lethargic through an induced contentment.

Which is also how most Linux distros work. So if you use Linux to install software via it's package manager, you already participate in this model. It moves trust to the package repo rather than the app developer.
> it doesn't say why a camera responding to a 550 nm photon isn't seeing red when your retina is.

It isn't your retina 'seeing' red. The retina is just translating it to the rest of the brain. When we replace eyes with silicon-based cameras (poorly, not in color, low resolution, but still) the patient experiences seeing again. Or going the other way, when you have a dream and see something red in that dream, you experience* (or at least, you have the memory of experiencing it) the qualia despite having your eyes closed and being asleep.

> it's not really compatible with more "serious" responsibilities like having a family or more demanding jobs.

Can you explain why? I feel like weed makes me kinder to people (as well as letting go of small petty things, as the article suggested), which unironically seems like a major relationship booster, which is helpful in both family/career building.
Hence the "mostly" portion of my post. You do not answer single questions and then pause your brain until some taps you to asks another. During your waking hours you are processing data non-stop (you even are during sleep really). If you processed data for a second and then paused without any activity for minutes between each question, I would say you likely do not have sentience as you would not have the time to consider anything outside that single question.
They do say "open-weight", which is I think still very misleading in this context. Open-weight sounds like it should be the same as open-source, just for weights instead of the full source (for example, training data and the code used to generate the weights may not be released). This isn't really "open" in any meaningful sense.
All their other models are “open source” and it was the selling point they built their brand on.
I doubt they made their new model completely different from previous ones so it’s supposed be open source too, unless they found some juridical loophole lol

That doesn't alone make them terrible though. CVTs have less complexity, so they will be cheaper. Dependable cars have CVTs for reasons other than cheapness.

For example, a dual clutch transmission is complex and expensive, but at the same time, I wouldn't call it better. There's tradeoffs in all types of transmissions. My car might have one, but if I were driving a truck, I don't think I would want a DSG.
> Do you have some ideas as to the answer(s)?

From my perspective, part of the issues is the turning of education into a political battleground. On top of that add the fact that K-12 schools in the US are run by thousands of unionized little kingdoms, each with their own agenda. And, of course, the almost total lack of meritocracy or evolutionary pressure in elevating capable teachers and administrators to what is, perhaps, the most important job in the nation.

Quick example: We live in a fairly nice area. When one of my kids was in middle school, the science teacher was this guy who was a Chiropractor when he wasn't at the school. Let's call him Dr. Z. Dr. Z got angry at kids when they asked questions. He asked them to write them down on a piece of paper and leave them on his desk and never to interrupt him. He would answer the questions next class, or never.

Dr. Z is a moron. I say "is" because he has been in this school district for some 30 years and is likely to milk it for all he can.

Dr. Z taught the kids that the moon does not spin on its axis...it is stationary...because we only see one side of it. Dr. Z, is a moron. I always talk to my kids about school, both to be informed and to undo the damage. After many examples of this I called a meeting with the Principal and Dr. Z and proceeded to read both of them the riot act. They did not give a shit. Not one bit. Neither one could be fired for delivering false and shit education. We were able to undo the damage at home. I am sure lots of families did not and had no clue what was going on.

This is a problem. One of many. Dr. Z, objectively speaking, should not be anywhere near kids or teaching science. Yet, the broken system we have protects him and will pay him a pension for life when he finally retires. And like him, many more.

There's a lot more to unwind there. I don't have the time to do it. The way we vote matters. The consequences of voting for the wrong people can be generational.
Both turbos and cvts are genuinely a reliability downgrade. It's because of fundamental and unavoidable reasons in each case. This applies to all vehicles, old or new, including ones they've already been used in for years like how turbo is a standard part of practically all large deisels.

"a number of reliable auto makers using CVTs for years" is an utterly valueless statement. It says, proves, disproves, or even merely indicates, nothing.

There are countless reasons for any company to do anything, including for a "reliable" automaker to use a less-reliable part or design.

Both turbos and cvts increase gas mileage. Simple as that. That one thing has become so important that it's now worth sacrificing other things to get it.
I have not looked at the code of HN. Is it public? And what parts of it are terrible?

I think single pixel spacers and such things are of a different quality than the design (code) flaws brought up about WP though. Their impact is different. One merely influnces the layout of things while the other for example influence how whole themes are structured and how many pitfalls WP developers set up for themselves by writing unmaintainable code.
It's at least sometimes a "Clever Hans" effect, or an "ELIZA" effect.

These models have been RLHFed to just go along and agree with whatever the user asks for, even if the user doesn't realize what's going on. This is a bit of a cheap trick- of course users will find something more intelligent if it agrees with them. When models start arguing back you get stuff like early Bing Chat going totally deranged.
The argument is that Y is more robust.

Please note that I never claimed they had “Amazon numbers.” I never claimed that they were as prevalent as they were pre-e-commerce. I’m merely stating that a “slow but firm downward trend” is not correct.
I don't think that's true. While it's a valued characteristic, society also respects athletes, cooks, nurses, or businessmen, none of them because of their thinking capacity. The people who assign the most worth to intelligence are people who value their own, so there is a bias inside our bubble.
