Yeah, I mean that sounds like just about every car I've ever personally owned across several different makes. Its fine, and I prefer having a physical stalk dedicated to this input for something as critical as managing visibility. Things like visibility controls are very critical and need good physical controls for quick adjustment and activation. I lump things like headlights, turn signals, hazard lights, and stuff like that in that category. They should be physical, easy to control, and very close to the primary driving input (the steering wheel) not far in the center console.

You know what I like even more? Not even needing to think about touching it like 90% or more of the time. Its now pretty rare on my newer cars to ever need to actually touch the wiper control at all. Its still there, and still just as simple to adjust as my 2000 Honda Accord was, but just leaving it in auto means it just takes care of itself the vast majority of the time.

You could make the controls for a manual AC control in your house really nice and easy to use, but I'd rather just set it to a temperature I think I'd like and have it automatically handle it for me. I could choose to water my garden with a garden hose and a really nice, very comfortable sprayer, but I'd prefer just having an automated irrigation system know if it needs water or not. I don't get why one would prefer to have to manually adjust your wiper if you don't really need to the vast majority of the time, and adding the automation costs a few bucks total.

Its the same thing with headlights. Why wouldn't I just leave it on auto? Sure, maybe there's a slight chance where I might end up deciding I'd like to have them on even though the light sensor thinks its bright enough, but I pretty much never have any good reason to set it to "off".
IANAL - I kinda thought a company can't take donations? So obviously the answer is a Firefox Pro that is 99% the same but lets us give them money. Maybe give it crazy features like a compact layout and the ability to run extensions locally.
It's closer to 2x (see eg https://www.factcheck.org/2024/02/electric-vehicles-contribu...).

But yes, a gas car is a worse thing still than a electric car, neither are sustainable. We need to cut car use rapidly to mitigate the climate disaster.
You must of never gone to University because in modern academic debating you have no intentions of conceding your position, you only do when it strengthen your argument, not when it weakens it. I think it is kind of antithetical to debating but it isn't about the truth it is about convincing the audience that your a more credible by presenting a more compelling argument to support your position.
Update: dang replied to my email. It seems HN actually does a fair amount of manual tweaking of story ranks. dang sent me these links:

Also: "there are a few people who aren't mods in the sense of working for YC but whom you could call mods in the sense that they have some limited moderation abilities, one of which is to mark subthreads as offtopic or generic"
You are saying as if automatic detection of misinformation and brigades was ever possible before LLMs, or it is possible now. Only now, when people started to massively notice things like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40444872 OpenAI publicly executed few accounts. By the way, they didn't even say exactly how many. Hundreds new will be created in 3.. 2.. 1..
Not really the point of your post, but that sounds like a really cool trip. What were you doing up there?
It would seem like you could sense rain hitting the roof through its acoustic signature using a contact piezo mic. That'd probably have a much larger effective sensing area than the IR sensor.
Why limit it to outside their term of office?

Bill Clinton undeniably committed perjury. That was during his term, but not related to his duties as President.

Despite his clear guilt, every Democrat in the Senate voted not remove him from office, and he was never charged by a criminal court.

He was also accused of rape and sexual assault by numerous women, and never charged in any of those cases.

The Democrat voters I knew at the time (including myself) knew quite well that he was guilty of perjury and sexual harassment, and probably sexual assault as well, but didn't care.

We felt that the investigation was politically motivated, and that having him in office was more important than enforcing the law.
I don't think that your explanation leads to the conclusion that these things are not socially transmitted.

Mountain biking as a sport would not be possible for the average person without the community. Sure, someone could be, and had to be, "the first" MTBer, make knobbly tires, build a suspension, go without a trail, etc, but that sort of spontaneous "new sport discovery" process is not going to happen at anything like the rate that people are attracted (via social transmission!) to the existing sport with everything in place.

The question seems to be whether being transgender, or being a mountain biker, is something that can exist purely in the mind, in the absence of the ability to realise it.

In some ways it feels like an unanswerable question because normal gender roles are socially transmitted anyway, so we can't even say whether "being a man" exists in isolation.
Sounds great, hope it will inspire its neighboring countries to take a similar initiative.

Shouldn't a company like Google use their latest technologies in public-facing content, particularly when discussing AI progress?

No. You don’t solve that. But if you remove the context from data and present it as truth by the Gemini God, you chose the battle and don’t get to claim “it’s unsolvable”.
I have scanning my handwritten notes also on my todo-list, some of them are even taken digitally. I have noticed that the offline ocr on Samsung (or maybe on Android devices generally) is pretty good, even with characters that don’t exist in English. Unfortunately there don’t seem to be implementations for batch scanning with Android handwriting ml kit or Samsung vision ocr
That is such a sweet feeling - doing what you feel is good test suite (maybe not TDD perfectionistic 100%but good) then few months later you add a new feature and the tests find some subtle bug that would have affected production.

I agree in principle but I don't use my rain sensor because it just doesn't run the wipers often enough for my liking.
There is absolutely no way YC/PG signed a non-disparagement agreement.

I think you are very confused about the power dynamic here. OpenAI is small beans compared to YC.
> The lack of control makes it dangerous.

I totally agree with you.

But I suspect some company cultures are fundamentally broken. Apple started with a one-button mouse, and will probably never make a good mouse. I think tesla has adopted their broken mindset and I think the tesla culture will never make any of us happy.

Personally if the old tesla cars with the wiper control on the turn-signal stalk could just change the two useless auto settings to slow and fast intermittent... that would be SO wonderful.
Google will almost certainly wield it's AI as a salesperson for advertisers. The ads will follow the users.
That sounds so cool when a billionaire vision-guy says it. Too bad reality is that "pressing need" isn't magic, and sometimes just isn't enough. Like this time.
You're not just saying that PG isn't trustworthy. You're making a claim beyond that:

The adult conversation in question being, in a nutshell: "We've decided it's time for you to move on. Would you like the public perception of this event to be that it was a mutual decision, or would you prefer to burn some bridges on your way out?"

I think you're falling into the classic reasoning trap:

1. I have realized someone has an incentive to portray the truth in a specific way.

2. They are portraying it to me in that way.

3. Therefore, they are lying.

But 3 isn't necessarily the case! All you can say is "3. Therefore, I can't tell what the truth is." I think that's what people are reacting to in terms of negativity. You actually don't know that PG is lying. You just know that, if Sam was actually fired, PG would have an incentive to portray it as mutually amicable. You really don't have evidence whether or not it happened.
They're being obtuse. What "it's likely the IT landscape has shifted" actually means is "they got Starlink and their connection is fast now, and I know this for certain but I want to downplay it as much as possible because I'm trying to make a point".
Docker compose files have been treated like legacy technical debt in a lot of places and the availability of tools to easily convert them, has lead to the current situation where basically I only see new docker compose files used by themselves in hobby and amateur projects with any reasonably organised project making the jump to at least publishing both the compose AND the helm chart or kompose template driven kubernetes configuration files… the hobbyist use i have not qualms with, use what you want to use for your own stuff, but a large portion of the use of docker compose in this particular NAS as host ecosystem is using shared application deployment configurations to make it easy to start up things like Plex or qtorrent or NextCloud. These are organised efforts where people post files to indexes to make them easier for others to find, and the greater rigour of a kubernetes config is actually a good thing in this environment… but it’s more work and a lot of the time I have seen the kind of complaints the users make and the bar to entry is very low for these things… I remember when the only way used to be templated FreeBSD jails… and now they are telling the company a kubernetes config is too hard… I don’t care what they want to use in their own home lab, I care about how hard it is to fix when their poorly written docker compose file breaks… how hard it is to maintain my system security now that we’ve thrown out the more comprehensively documented security architecture of kubernetes for the docker compose world with a much less rigorous security story…

This is a step back and the users are in this case wrong to have wanted it. I’m expressing the same sentiment you might have if you found someone was lighting their house with whale oil powered lanterns for the last year… it’s not that it doesn’t light the house… it’s just a very damn strange way to light a house in the 21st century.
I'm pretty sure Brave has been doing this for awhile now, and it's certainly available outside of the US. It often saves me a click, which I appreciate.
It’s serious presumably because Starlink coverage includes the poles now. 7 months ago was around the time they did a demo with the McMurdo base IIRC.
I have a degree.

The point I am making is not that people are unwilling to concede, I don't see much change in that, but that debate itself rarely happens.

It's far more common in my experience for someone to attempt to shut down debate with a label like racist or woke, or draw a connection to a political philosophy in an attempt to discredit, rather than actually try to give valid reasons for why I should adopt their position.

Back in University I found that to be far less common. Looking from the outside in it seems as if nowadays campuses have become much more reactionary.
Yeah, I was quite curious, given Steam's current dominant position in the PC game store market.
Because US Presidents have immunity (limited) for official acts commited while in office.

Donald Trump was convicted for acts outside of term in office as POTUS, the question of whether this was fair or unfair rests on whether other POTUS's have skated on criminal acts outside of their term in office.

Counter-opinion:

I totally agree with the sentiment here, but disagree with the conclusion.

1. The rest of the world doesn't have facebooks data layer. Ergo, GraphQL is very hard for everyone who's not FB.

2. Turns out GraphQL is actually a really good data API. Whether it's a postgres/mongo/graph/REST data source. Because it's a great mid-point between something as flexible as SQL but as controlled as a REST API.

Here are 3 things that GraphQL is absolutely great at:

- Select a 2 fields out of a 100 attributes in a data model? GraphQL is great.
- Gradually deprecate an old field in a database and replace with a new one? GraphQL is great.
- Want a flexible way to filter/join/paginate regardless of the underlying storage layer? GraphQL is great.

Other API formats suck at this.

Working with GraphQL ought to feel like you're working entirely with your database and sprinking the right bits of transform/validation/authz business logic and then the API that other teams can use is "free".

GraphQL is dying as a replacement to a REST API layer. I think GraphQL will see its second wind as a data API. Microsoft and Google announced their GraphQL data APIs recently.

GraphQL will probably only make sense when it's as close as a 1:1 map to a DB beneath it. Whether relational or NoSQL or graph.

In all other cases, the GraphQL juice is not worth the squeeze.
Of course it’s a political prosecution for Alvin Bragg. But Trump ought to be prosecuted. He tried to overturn the election. Jail is appropriate. If you can’t get him on the actual crime, getting him on a related crime when everyone in America knows in their bones he’s guilty as sin is justice.

Like getting Al Capone on tax crime. Justice isn’t about everything being 100% rule following at all times, it’s about crimes being punished.
> ‘Why did we go into this business? Why are we shutting down this business line? Why are we doing this services migration that's going to take five years?’ literally aren't written down anywhere.”

I see this all the time with my own projects. I try to document my code but what I often fail to write down is WHY. I might write down a decision to change something or to implement a new thing, but I don't write down the why. Why not? Because it is so OBVIOUS at the time the decision is made. It seems like a waste of time to write it down.

Consider also the "5 Whys". When we answer the why we answer it's because we want something particular to happen. But why do we want that particular thing to happen now and always? I don't write those whys down because it seems wasteful and a distraction from being focused on making concrete progress.

It's human nature.
The performance loss from BiLLM is disastrous. It's basically useless. No one would ever want to use the resulting models. They hide their main results in the appendix: Table 8. page 15. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2402.04291

I won't go over the entire table in detail, but PIQA, BoolQ, HellaSwag, and WinoGrande should in the mid-to-high 70s for LLaMa2-7B. They drop that to 58, 62, 32, and 51. There are 700M parameter models that perform much better.

What they should have reported is effective number of parameters. Does LLaMa2-7B with their quantization method outperform a model that has amount of computation but uses that compute with say.. 16-bit quantization? If the answer is no, and it seems like it very clearly is, then the method is wholly worthless. Just use a smaller model to begin with.

The BitNet paper is better. But for some reason they only consider very small models. It's the obvious question and in their FAQ they don't provide a solid answer to it. Despite having all of the compute resources of MS. They could have easily run this experiment in the past year; I'm suspicious.
The difference is that "curl | bash" doesn't save the output and can be distinguished server-side from commands that do <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34145799>, so it's an especially easy way for a malicious server to undetectably have you run something different from what you've looked over.

No.

The actual problem is a political one. Past missions have used the local time from where the mission was based. They want an agreed time for international missions.

This talk of ultra precise clocks being sent to the moon seems very unlikely to happen, as it isn't relevant to solving the political problem.
Show HN: Deserialize JSON without using JSON.parse() but with only regex
Before considering deliberate manipulation you need to account for contagion and memeiness among the population by default. That's certainly a nontrivial phenomenon, and possibly so dominant that manipulation is no more than a sideshow.

Running HN has shifted my priors on this point because, at least in our little pond, claims of deliberate manipulation almost always turn out to be unsupported by data.
That energy is still on the order of a household’s yearly electricity, not that of Argentina as cryptos were, and that’s just for training.

Inferring is much cheaper and arguably provides quite a lot of value (even though I also think it is overhyped), for very little energy consumption, probably more is lost due to inefficiency for any physical product.

Why link an article from a year ago, before the trial was even scheduled? You cherry picked one quote ignoring the rest of the article that actually answers a lot of questions your quoted expert asks.

<< “The bottom line is that it’s murky,” said Richard Hasen, an expert in election law and professor at the University of California, Los Angeles law school. “And the district attorney did not offer a detailed legal analysis as to how they can do this, how they can get around these potential hurdles. And it could potentially tie up the case for a long time.””

If you continue to read further in the article you linked then you would see that the DA had an answer to that:

<<“Bragg said the indictment doesn’t specify the potential underlying crimes because the law doesn’t require it.”

But beyond that, the DA did offer an explanation to how they could move forward with charging Trump:

<<“Falsifying business records can be charged as a misdemeanor, a lower-level crime that would not normally result in prison time. It rises to a felony — which carries up to four years behind bars — if there was an intent to commit or conceal a second crime. Bragg said his office routinely brings felony false business records cases.

In Trump’s case, Bragg said the phony business records were designed to cover up alleged state and federal election law violations. The $130,000 payment to Daniels exceeded the federal cap on campaign contributions, Bragg said. He also cited a New York election law that makes it a crime to promote a candidate by unlawful means.

“That is what this defendant did when he falsified business records in order to conceal unlawful efforts to promote his candidacy, and that is why we are here,” one of the case prosecutors, Chris Conroy, told the judge Tuesday.

Prosecutors, however, also alluded to another accusation involving tax law: that Trump’s scheme included a plan to mischaracterize the payments to Cohen as income to New York tax authorities.

“They did talk about tax crimes, and I think that could be potentially more compelling for the jury,” Renato Mariotti, a former federal prosecutor, said on ABC News. “It’s a safer bet than the campaign finance crimes.”

Bragg is “going to bring in witnesses, he’s going to show a lot of documentary evidence to attempt to demonstrate that all these payments were in furtherance of the presidential campaign,” said Jerry H. Goldfeder, a veteran election lawyer in New York and the director of Fordham Law School’s Voting Rights and Democracy Project.”

> And they ignored the statute of limitations in order to bring these charges several years late.

Again, in the article you linked it explains how they were legally able to extend the statute of limitations for this case:

<<There were some extensions during the pandemic, and state law also can stop the clock when a potential defendant is continuously outside the state.
