The fact that I think it's wrong for the public to be able to trivially track anyone? I think the capacity is a bad thing. I also think it would be bad as I stated if the public could trivially track poor people. I thought I made that pretty clear in my comment. I don't understand what it is you're asking evidence for. It's clearly a thing that can be done, this the existence is this bill. And I'm making an argument that morally that is wrong.

You're free to disagree with my moral judgment, and I'm sure many people do, but it's not really a thing that requires evidence.
Wow this is the first time I've seen someone recommend a microsoft.com domain name for 'updated' information.

Usually its 1 year and 15 upgrades outdated.

Its basically why I have completely given up on Microsoft. Every update is a breaking change that isnt updated in their docs. And chances are, it wasnt going to work anyway.

Any time you have to use a microsoft service/product, know that documentation is just going to be worse than any FOSS made by teens.

As an example: there is a very long lived radioisotope of iodine that occurs in fission products, iodine-129, with a half life of 15 million years.

The radioactivity of this isotope is so low that, as I understand it, one could replace every iodine atom in your body with this isotope and you'd still be okay. This would imply it's fine to dispose of this isotope by just dissolving it into the ocean. The ocean's total iodine is about 10^11 tons, so a disposal rate of ~10^4 tons/year would eventually (in ~a half life) make the ocean's iodine mostly I-129 (conservatively, assuming no exchange of iodine is occurring between the ocean and external reservoirs of the element.) This production rate is what would obtain in a totally nuclear powered world at today's primary energy consumption rate.

That is the path to saving civilization. Get petty selfish ignorant people out of the decision loop. We are monkey-troop-level thinkers and that puts a hard limit on how complex a civilization we can build. The only way forward is to automate some of this, with the selfishness and clannishness removed.
I believe what you're looking for is Jq for the json prettifying/manipulation, and nushell for tabular text (not sure about that one, I've only seen it mentioned occasionally).
I strongly believe this should not become the job of the terminal, as it makes it all the more complicated and would possibly deter people from writing the kind of specialized, portable tools that are Jq and nushell for instance.
At most, I think it should be a job for an ncurses application

The definition of 'Totaled' is when a comparable car on the used market can replace your vehicle for less than or equal to the repair costs.

As such, it makes no sense to repair a totaled vehicle. You should instead buy a comparable used vehicle.

But saying the word 'Disposable' is pretty bad with regards to the headline. It doesn't capture the full effect of what the stats are showing. That is, we are all keeping vehicles for longer. Longer miles, longer life.

Repair costs for old vehicles always grows as old parts tend to be harder to find (factories have shifted production to newer vehicles. So you are forced to look for scrap). Meanwhile, older cars lose more and more value as they age.
It's possible that OpenAI scrapes people's chat history for cases where that happens in order to improve their fine tuning data, in which case it isn't a total lie.

I would build something and figure out what works and what doesn't at the software and system integration level. Ruggedized hardware is just a throw money at the problem problem.

To put it another way, start with building not shopping. Good luck.
I would spend my time working on music. This entire universe was created from nothing to everything, and there has always been sound. I believe sound can be used to solve many problems, from healing people of sickness to moving heavy objects, as the ancient Egyptians did. So I would want to decode the mystery of music. The music I like to listen to and want to create more of is similar, so that I can derive great pleasure from listening to it.
Thank you for sharing! I think this sort of thing is what makes HN great.

Have you rolled this out to prod yet? Did you check how many users this might effect? I can imagine some (probably amateur) apps are going to break when this hits, so some notice might be nice.

I'm not asking those questions critically, mainly wanting to facilitate a full discussion around the pros and cons (I think the pros are are much stronger personally).
Yes - back when the US was threatening war, Iraq let in UN weapons inspectors, who would of course have gladly inspected anywhere the US/UK said the weapons were.

Everyone following the news knew at the time the US & UK couldn't direct the inspectors to the WMDs, because no WMDs existed.
Which GPU card can I buy to run this model? Can it run on commercial RTX3090 or does it need a custom GPU?
Sometimes I feel like I was taking crazy pills, but I distinctly remember major news agencies like the BBC calling BS with pretty hard facts about the whole WMD thing, but no one really cared. (In America or Britain anyways)
The OpenAI philosophy is that adding modes improves everything. Sure, it’s astronomically expensive, but I tend to think they’re on to something.
It’s important to remember that the war in Vietnam had begun as a war of independence from the French. The US should never have gotten involved, and only did so because of the fear of the spread of Communism. We should never have gotten involved.
I make this mistake repeatedly and did so in this case too.

That link seems broken.
Apple isn't producing all of the components in their laptops either.

It's a bigger picture thing. Apple has some vision for what a good laptop is like, and has been iterating for decades to achieve that. Each new generation brings some amount of change (including some real failures like the Touch Bar and butterfly keyboard).

Absolutely any other manufacturer could achieve that if they were willing to focus on it, iterate, and not give up. It would take some time, but it would happen.
Cool - thanks for explaining!

I've always considered the trade-off to be more straightforward: If you're going to fly a multi-ton vehicle over my head without me having the right to tell you to get the hell out of the property I own ("from hell to sky" is the traditional parcel of land owned in the English common law system), then at the very least I should have the right to know who you are.

The government took our property rights to build airspace as a common highway, and we ought to get something out of further taking.
I think it's foolish to have empathy for people that have no empathy for me. I don't want to be tracked. A lot of very wealthy people have made their career (and fortune) off of tracking me against my will. Why would I care about their desire not to be tracked now?
My favorite thing to ask the models designed for programming is: "Using Python write a pure ASGI middleware that intercepts the request body, response headers, and response body, stores that information in a dict, and then JSON encodes it to be sent to an external program using a function called transmit." None of them ever get it right :)

Lovely read, and great to see a happy ending - I remember your previous blogs here.

As a sometime-bootstrapper and having failed at a previous hardware startup, I can relate to many of the emotions you narrated through. It may be too early, but my biggest curiosity is whether you think you will bootstrap something again?

(In my case, after the hardware business and some time off, I found that taking a swing at a “pure software” idea was the right balance for me, after the considerable challenges and occasional joys of building physical things..)
Rep. Westerman is fairly senior.

He's the Chair of the House Committee on Natural Resources - the Committee that gives authorization for mining, drilling, and land use.

He is also holding Tom Cotton's former House Seat, a former Majority leader of the Arkansas State House (the first Republican one in Arkansas since the 19th century), and will most likely replace Senator Boozman when he retires.

Aka, he's upper level in the hierarchy of the House GOP.

Most likely, Walmart leadership (Bentonville is in Westerman's constituency) lobbied for this as private flight data is often used in competitive intel.
If they can afford a private jet they can afford a security detail. Yes, my empathy is limited at problems they can solve for themselves but choose not to, instead taking something from the rest of us.

As I understand it House Members just like the UK's MPs win single member elections, so Bruce is literally the guy some people in Arkansas picked, he's not just somebody on a list picked by the Republican Party in DC.

Thus it's a failure of collective democratic responsibility if you're not picking the people you actually want. My friends lived in Vauxhall when Kate Hoey was its MP, which again makes no sense. Kate is pro-gun, anti-gay, anti-Europe even on a good day her interests don't align well with those of Vauxhall voters. So the way Kate was winning those elections is that she's the Labour candidate (was, she left of course because she's a terrible fit) and those voters are voting for the party symbol not the candidate. This is how your representative democracy rots from the inside.

I'm surprised to see agreement, even just in principle, with this amendment.

If you think this is OK, are you just against ADS-B altogether?

I have serious qualms about someone flying a 23,500lb hunk of metal, laden with volatile and explosive fuel, over my community without needing to publicly report telemetry and flight plan details in plaintext.

First it was the cops, and now rich people.

Allowing certain privileged groups to keep this information between them and the state seems likely to lead to outcomes where they can behave poorly and then be able to lie or "get their story straight" before being honest with the public. Which makes incidents more likely altogether.

I think that accountability in aviation is very healthy for a technologically advanced society, and these moves seem like a step backward.
> decide for one it can’t be both ways

Oh, it can be both ways and is both ways. See my last sentence again, about the compelling evidence that humans thrive with their rights being protected, while a beehive thrives from being a perfect communist society.

Communism requires people to behave like bees in a beehive, and that will never work no matter how fervently one believes in communism and no matter how much coercion is used to force people to be good communists.
Its almost as if these policy makers don't know anything about anything.

Define "close."

(Anecdotally, I'm outside Harrisburg, and there are no self-driving cars in... this state? People drive their cars just like cave people did, with their hands on the wheel!)

Of note, the article mentions your sentiment near the conclusion:

Most GPUs still use GDDR I'm pretty sure, not HBM. Do you mean VRAM?
The LLMs don't learn during the chat, but what you type into them is being collected, the same as, for instance, your Google searches.
This is asinine. Flying in a private plane is a choice. Being a woman or a child is not.
I welcome self driving technology when they become available, but from a system perspective, cars and car related infrastructure imposed tremendous cost on our environment and urban fabric.
> They're calling in the first place because they don't want to make an effort to use the available tools to answer their question.

That's not correct. I NEVER call without first exhausting every available source because I despise the phone system and it's inefficiencies. Most companies may think they have resources available, but they really don't. And no, just throwing up a zendesk or equivalent "knowledge base" isn't the same as providing tools and manuals/guides/etc.

That said, there is definitely a subset of people for whom calling is step 1 (before even googling). They tend to be older and/or on the tech illiterate side. But if you design and build for the worst-case scenario, you're really screwing over your more self-help customers and even driving them away.
"petty selfish ignorant people" is a pretty good description of the folks pushing AI at the moment.
Has there been research on this?

Even if the cause of tinnitus is neural, or damage to the inner ear, perhaps it could be altered with bone conduction speakers? On the premise that any change to status quo might cause the neurons to completely re-evaluate their duties...

These two ([1] [2]; 2002 and 2020) say that bone-conducting and air-conducting transducers offer the same relief.

Since everyone, including this [3] seems to bury the results, I'm guessing that sound therapy isn't very effective.

This submission is probably flagged because of the awfully clickbaity title, but the link is a reasonably interesting OC reddit post about someone's experiences of ups and downs making apps.
I took Simon's post and pasted it into two different ChatGPT 4o windows. In one, I put "what's wrong with this post, especially with the way it's written?". In the other, I put "what's really great about this post and what does it do well?".

Both sessions worked toward those implied goals. The one where I asked what was wrong indicated long-winded sentences, redundancy, lack of clear structure, and focus issues. Sorry, Simon!

The one where I asked what was good about the post indicated clarity around misconceptions, good explanations of training, consistent theme, clear sections, logical progression, and focused arguments. I tend to agree with this one more than the other, but clearly the two are conflicted.

So, what's my point?

My point is that AI/LLMs interactions are driven by the human's intent during the interaction. It is literally our own history and training that brings the stateless function responses to where they arrive. Yes, facts and whatnot matter in the training data, and the history, if there is one, but the output is very much dependent on the user.

If we think about this more, it's clear that training data does matter, but likely doesn't matter as much as we think it does. It's probably just as equally important to consider the historic data, and the data coming in from RAG/search processes, as making as big of an impact on the output.

Yep, I have ADHD and have always needed to put more effort toward parsing a particular sound in a dense sound field than other people. I've also always had trouble quickly identifying a particular object in a dense visual field. My wife jokes I'm "the world's worst 'Where's Waldo' player".

I can still manage to do these things but it takes longer, requires more effort and I'm generally never as good at it as others seem to be. I've always suspected these two things are related to each other and to my ADHD. There's a related audio issue I suspect is also tied to ADHD. When I'm mentally focused on a task, if someone interrupts me, I often miss the first couple words they say. Fortunately, when it happens I can usually derive the missing context from the rest of the content. Interestingly, it's not that I didn't hear the sound of the words, it feels more like a lag in mental context switching to parse the sounds into meaning.
Partly because it is not exactly a "proper" quine, which is not allowed to access its own source code in any way. This program uses the fact that JS requires `Function.prototype.toString()` to return something that resembles the original JS source code [1], which can be regarded as reading its own source code (a more precise statement would be that it relies on an implementation-defined behavior though). A proper quine in comparison tends to be longer because it has to repeat itself twice in general.

With WFH, I didn't have to listen to my coworkers' conversations in the adjoining cubes. Also, I could take a meeting with the cat on my lap (if she would cooperate).

Being rich doesn't compel you to use private jets for travel. There are plenty other modes of transportation available. In fact, I'd argue being rich affords you a greater choice.
Yeah, it seems a bit hard to figure out the use case for this one. If you're sharing data with an untrusted third party, you'd use a verifiably-clean export format.

And if you're concerned about local storage, the remains of your dirty database pages after the FTL and/or other sector-remapping firmware is done with it are still a concern.

But anyway, apparently someone felt they needed this badly enough to pay for it, so YOLO...
