> They’d be fools to buy licenses before it’s been decided.

They are willingly ignoring licenses until someone sues them? That's still illegal and completely immoral. There is tons of data to train on. The entirety of Wikipedia, all of StackOverflow (at least previously), all of the BSD and MIT licenses source code on Github, the entire Gutenberg project. So much stuff, freely and legally available, yet their feel that they don't need to check licenses?

Let’s assume a system outputs 2 MWh annually at 24%. Let’s bump up to 25.5% efficiency, and we get 2.125 MWh. Let’s assume a 30 year lifespan. This gives us an extra 3.75 MWh total over the lifetime. Let’s round down to 3 MWh to very conservatively account for performance degradation.

That would be the raw energy budget. It seems unlikely to me that these processes would require more than 3 MWh additional energy for a system of this size compared to the baseline 24% system, but that’s just on vibes!

At the same time, it’s probably better to view it in terms of carbon, in which case the situation changes a little bit. You would need to know how carbon intensive the source power production is for the manufacturing process, and additionally how the grid decarbonizes: if the grid decarbonizes substantially due to (eg) massive wind scale up and deep geothermal breakthroughs, then the efficiency gains from PV aren’t as valuable in the future from a carbon perspective as they are in the year 2025.
> If you know nothing about a topic, and I and someone with an opposite viewpoint both put experts in from of you that support our positions, how do you decide?

How indeed. How, for instance, would a congress member? What about staffers make them better experts than expert witnesses in a trial? Who are these expert staffers accountable to?

I feel you are being a little unbalanced in your criticism.

I'm all for better "resources", but fail to see how that could be held up as an "either or" replacement for my proposal.

Also, I am confused how it would remedy the ills I am addressing with the proposal. There's a meme online to the effect ~"remember when before the internet we used to think hate was result of lack of access to information".

Your representative will still have their staff and likely even their token experts, but it will still be on them to plead the case to a jury.

I feel those of us with interest in conjuring math in stone with electricity tend toward thinking there is the binary of right and wrong. That, "if only we had more data everyone would agree", but humans and human societies are much more complex and often an argument can be made for both sides of an debate regardless of how sure I am of my side of it.

The point is how do you ensure the argument with better evidence is the one we use to determine policy.

While only using existing tools from our current system I would argue the best way we have is trial by jury.
>Traffic numbers, regardless if it using reader mode or not, is used as a basic valuation of a website.

I have another comment that says something similar, but: is valuing a website based on basic traffic still a thing? Feels very 2002. It's not my wheelhouse, but if I happened to be involved in a transaction, raw traffic numbers wouldn't hold much sway.
> I doubt this was a big request from the apple community.

As a German I'm looking forward to this since iPhone market share isn't as big as it might be in America. In the end I might delete Signal and WhatsApp since media sharing is the only reason for me to use these apps.
The Google summaries (before whatever LLM stuff they're doing now) are 2-3 sentences tops. The content on most of these websites is much, much longer than that for SEO reasons.

It sucks that Google created the problem on both ends, but the content OP is referring to costs way more to produce than it adds value to the world because it has to be padded out to show up in search. Then Google comes along and extracts the actual answer that the page is built around and the user skips both the padding and the site as a whole.

Google is terrible, the attention economy that Google created is terrible. This was all true before LLMs and tools like Perplexity are a reaction to the terrible content world that Google created.
Okay, but why does he need an idiot to ruin the show? NDT himself could sell the show, he is good at explaining things.
I investigated both for a side project. I ended up going with Odin. Primarily because despite them both being non-GC languages, Odin felt higher level to program in. Also Odin has official Direct3D and Metal support.
I think a concern for people who contribute on Stack Overflow is that an LLM will pollute the water with so many subtly wrong answers that the collective work of answering questions accurately will be overwhelmed by a tsunami of inaccurate LLM-generated answers, more than an army of humans can keep up with checking and debugging (or debunking).

How sure of this are we? Feels like we've can only confirm that's true for a small selection of the vast total.
>I was referring to where the article was originated. You’ll notice your second article wasn’t published from within China.

???

"Chaguan travelled to Tongren to weigh claims that coercive assimilation is now the norm. While in Qinghai he was followed by up to five unmarked cars. Tibetan-speaking officers (one of whom flashed a police badge) filmed and eavesdropped on conversations. "

Or are you claiming that going into China and doing anti-CCP reporting is fine as long as the article isn't "published" in China (whatever that means)?
We currently have around 35k users – which is what the social proof/testimonial widget represents. This is apparent on the homepage and on our wall of love as well :)

To your question; I am always looking for feedback, whether from customers or outsiders. Though your comment doesn't really give me confidence that I should have posted here.
Depends on how broadly you define "text message". But if we treat iMessage as such, why not e.g. Signal?
That's an interesting point you're making. I wonder what the policy is regarding the questions people ask an LLM and the developers behind the service reading through the questions (with unsuccessful responses from the LLM?)
Crawling for the Search Index != Browsing on the Users behalf.

I guess that's the difference here.

Would be nice to have the correct user-agent for both, but was probably not malicious intent and arguably a human browsing by proxy.
I think what you're missing is deliberate action and feedback. We don't just listen or watch as if the world was a movie. We act and communicate intentionally and with purpose. The response to our deliberate actions is in my view what we mostly learn from.

Blind people surely compensate for the lack of visual information by deliberately eliciting audio and tactile feedback that others don't need.

Also, watching others interact with the world is never the same thing as interacting with the world ourselves, because there's a crucial piece of information missing.

When we decide to act, we know that we just made that decision. We know when we made the decision, why we made it and what we wanted to achieve. We can never know that for sure when we observe others.

We can guess of course, but a lot of that guessing is only possible because we know how we would act and react ourselves. A machine that has never intervened and deliberately elicited feedback cannot even guess properly. It will need incredible amounts of data to learn from correlations alone.
It should, erm sorry, must pass all the info it got from the user to you, so you would have an idea who wanted info from your site.

>If the "content" had no value, why would google go through the effort of scraping it and presenting it to the user?

They don't present it all, they summarize it.

And let's be serious here, I was being polite because I don't know the OPs business. But 99% of this sort of content is SEO trash and contributes to the wasteland that the internet is becoming. Feel free to point me to the good stuff.
So even the well intentioned feed readers misbehave sometimes. I guess there is a spec but no proper test suite ever emerged?

On the flip side should RSS become a thing again thus incentivizing bad actors what recourse is there? Or just from poorly written ones?

Seems to be a missing piece.

With torrenting there is either a tracker enforcing ratio or gossip between clients - so bad actors are quickly flushed out of the system. Maybe that's a fertile place to draw inspiration from. I'm not sure.
> In response to Reuters' queries about the report, OpenAI said: "We remain focused on building AI that benefits everyone. The nonprofit is core to our mission and will continue to exist."

Emphasis mine.

I find this response to be hilariously contradictory. How would becoming a for-profit help a non-profit mission.

It's worth noting that Anthropic is a public benefit company, which means it's not required to pursue profit at all costs.
They might be "lying" because of all sorts of reasons, but a specific version of Chrome on a specific OS still sends a unique user agent string.
Isn’t installation costs like frames, transportation and labor makes it irrelevant now?
> The only way to confirm that, or to get the correct information in the first place, is to read the original site yourself.

As someone who uses Perplexity, I often do do this. And I don't think I'm particularly in the minority with this. I think their UI encourages it.
This memory is now the least recently used in the L1 cache, despite being freed by the allocator, meaning it probably isn't being used again.

If it was freed after already being removed from the L1 cache, then you also need to evict other L1 cache contents and wait for it to be read into L1 so you can write to it.

128 cycles is a generous estimate, and ignores the costs to the rest of the program.

Docker Considered Harmful (2021)
I hope the outlook becomes reality.
That’s in a residential/urban context. I would assume (but have no actual idea, just common sense) that weight matters at least somewhat significantly in an industrial/grid scale context, where shipping and labor are for MW scale systems rather than kW scale systems. I’m not sure how important the weight is here, but it seems reasonable to think that it might be more significant than in a residential/urban context. Could also mean less land use, less structural steel, less maintenance for a system of the same capacity, etc.
I asked you this in the other subthread, but what exactly is the moral distinction (I'm not especially interested in the legal one here because our copyright law is horribly broken) between these two scenarios?

* User asks proprietary web browser to fetch content and render it a specific way, which it does

* User asks proprietary web service to fetch content and render it a specific way, which it does

The technical distinction is that there's a network involved in the second scenario. What is the moral distinction?
What is happening in Gaza does not meet the definition of genocide.

According to the definition for genocide as provided sections (a)-(2) of Article 2 of the Geneva Convention ("acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group") it does. The substantiation for this rests not so much on the numbers killed (though these are also one component), but on the clear and obvious intent to render the Strip uninhabitable -- and to encourage what Israeli politicians are openly and cynically referring to as "voluntary migration".

To intentionally kick an entire population off of their indigenous territory is a means of destroying them as a people, full stop.

Intention is key.

As has been made chillingly clear by major figures in the 37th Government:

“We are imposing a complete siege on Gaza. There will be no electricity, no food, no water, no fuel. Everything will be closed. We are fighting human animals and we act accordingly”

-- Defense Minister Yoav Gallant

We also have Minister Avi Dichter chiming in:

Israeli security cabinet member and Agriculture Minister Avi Dichter (Likud) was asked in a news interview on Saturday whether the images of northern Gaza Strip residents evacuating south on the IDF’s orders are comparable to images of the Nakba. He replied: “We are now rolling out the Gaza Nakba. From an operational point of view, there is no way to wage a war – as the IDF seeks to do in Gaza – with masses between the tanks and the soldiers.”

When asked again whether this was the “Gaza Nakba”, Dichter – a member of the security cabinet and former Shin Bet director – said “Gaza Nakba 2023. That’s how it’ll end.”

This quote file goes on and on and on. It's really screamingly bloody obvious what's happening in Gaza and the West Bank presently.
Beautiful, but could do with using quaternions for rotation to avoid gimbal lock. At least I assume that’s the problem with getting stuck on the poles
I'm curious about the tourism sector problem. In tourism, I would think the goal would be to promote a location. You want people to be able to easily discover the location, get information about it, and presumably arrange to travel to those locations. If Google gets the information to the users, but doesn't send the tourist to the website, is that harmful? Is it a problem of ads on the tourism website? Or is more of problem of the site creator demonstrating to the site purchaser that the purchase was worthwhile?
If I want to be at top performance - none.

If I want to relax a bit, no more than 5mg of an edible. I've taken way more at various bits in life, letting it become waaay too much of a habit, and I think it causes little but trouble. It often resulted in a bad loop of increased tolerance, being really tired the next day, slamming caffeine to over-compensate, having more anxiety to deal with, repeat...

CBD, cliche as it is to say, is actually pretty underrated as an in-between. With 1mg THC, 20mg CBD, it's very soothing without being impairing.

I think with smoking and vaping it's exceedingly easy to consume way too much. I'd recommend not more than a couple puffs, to be honest. Weed is way too strong now. My kingdom for a return to the 60's situation of weak weed and strong acid.
This interaction down the chain is interesting:

What a terrible word.

Outside of small bubbles, it’s hard to believe that anyone really cares, since it’s a resolved problem in most of the world. Without exaggeration, every person I’ve met from Europe, LATAM, East/West/South Asia, Africa, and Australia has by default asked me, “Do you use WhatsApp (or its local equivalent)?” when we decided to keep in touch.

I agree it has some monopolistic tendencies in the US and Canada and signals “iPhone is better!” when someone is what they call “a green bubble.” However, in the end, every group chat just gets created in an OS-agnostic app if one of the users has an Android. So, from my perspective, it’s a wasteful allocation of resources if you’re trying to “make it a good experience for the customers to communicate with non-customers” since it doesn’t really get “much better” than what we have now.
Then they don't get the extra hits. So is that it—is a "visit" important because of the data that you're able to collect from the visit?

Does this place HN's rampant use of archive.md on the same moral footing as Perplexity?
We in the west are also extremely good at projection - seeing our own aggression in whatever the Chinese are doing. The interpretation of made in China 2025, that being used as key justification for the tech war, is a good example of this.

Also just in simple things like “lack of mutual understanding”. I don’t think that is true. I think the Chinese understand the mechanics of western government and politics quite well, whereas we in the west have very little understanding of the Chinese ditto - simply because we don’t bother as we are the top dog.

Looked up `abbrev-mode` and that is a correct analogy. Abbrev mode also handles emojis, pretty cool. But then it's Emacs so I shouldn't be surprised.

Offtopic, I wish my younger self followed RTFM when I used to use Emacs.
I’m an Apple person and it’s not huge to me. The people I tend to trade pictures/etc with are also iPhone owners.

That said I personally know multiple people in my family who have run into “problems” sending pictures or especially video back-and-forth to Android phones because you get stuck with ancient MMS sizes that look like garbage. Images are bad but video is just atrocious.

It’s a good upgrade for iPhone users. I don’t think it’s the number one feature for anyone in my group, but I can easily be imagine being an iPhone person with a mostly Android family/friends network where this is going to be a big quality of life thing.
It was a particularly bad time to make that mistake.
if it were really a problem moving forward and diy becomes the norm(which i doubt is the case) it's pretty trivial to apply an opaque sticker or cardboard covering to the panel during manufacture.
Good for you for engaging. I don't have the spoons to deal with that sort of thing.
the safety of these steel boxes were bought with blood over a hundred years.

and the end user doesn't just cut as much as they need and nail it down - the things are practically disposable appliances at this point.
This is exactly the concern and there’s a lot of comments just completely ignoring it or willfully conflating.

Ad block isn’t the same problem because it doesn’t and can’t steal the creator’s data.
Honestly, the real meat of Emacs is in buffer/split management. If VSCode did those well, then maybe I’d consider switching lol

One of the original overpromises from Musk was that you could definitely totally summon your car from NY to LA and it would magically drive all the way, next year, for sure.

Yeah, because if it understands hand gestures, it totally won't be used by criminals, directing it to a chop shop where they can disable it and cut it to pieces. What are you gonna do as the owner?
The stated goal was to prevent coins from breaking through 14nm. With the 7nm chips that SMIC has been manufacturing for Huawei, that policy has failed.

The entire strategy being pursued by the Biden administration is extremely dangerous. Sullivan seems to believe that he's some sort of guru, but the goal he's pursuing - of wrecking Chinese high-tech sectors using blunt American power - will not only fail, but will also lead to enormous tensions between the US and China. You simply can't behave in that sort of arrogant way towards another major power. China isn't some little country like Venezuela or Cuba.
At a certain high level I’m sure you can model the brain that way. But we know humans are neuroplastic, and through epigenetics it’s possible that learning in an individual’s life span will pass to their offspring. Which means human brains have been building internal predictive models for billions of years over innumerable individual lifespans. The idea that we’re anywhere close to replicating that with a neural net is completely preposterous. And besides my main point was that our brains don’t think one word at a time. I’m not sure how that relates to predictive processing.
Something not being stealing isn't the same as it not being able to hurt people or companies financially. Revenue lost due to copyright breach is not money stolen from you.

> What exactly is Perplexity doing here that isn't okay that people don't already do with their local user agents?

It's in the title of TFA: they're being dishonest about who they are. PerplexityBot seems to understand that robots.txt is addressed to it.

It's understood that site operators have a right to use the User-Agent to discriminate among visitors; that's why robots.txt is a standard. Crawlers that disrespect the standard have for many years been considered beyond the pale; thieves and snoopers. TFA's complaint is entirely justified.
Mind sharing it? I have an AMD card, so its not that much of use for me, but still would be interested
Lots of discussion of this in other comments in this thread, but at least theoretically, for a system of the same size, a change from 20 to 25% efficiency would reduce: the number of frames to manufacture, the weight of the transported goods, the number of panels needed to be installed, and the space needed all of which do plausibly reduce the total cost and time to deploy, no?

That change is itself a 25% performance improvement (over the 20% baseline), meaning you need significantly less space and potentially weight/labor to install. Obviously we aren’t making that jump all at once.
Pedantry aside, let's restate as "present the core thoughts" to the user, which still implies value. I agree that most of google front page results are SEO garbage these days, but that's a separate issue from claiming that are summary of a piece of information removes the original of its value. I'd even argue that it transfers it from one entity to the other in this case.
I don't think the example is a good rebuttal of "thinking and reasoning require language".

It may be a decent challenge, probably still not an actual rebuttal, of "language is sufficient for all thinking and reasoning", but "X is required for Y" and "X is sufficient for everything encompassed by Y" are very different claims.
Because if I run a server - at my own expense - I get to use information provided by the client to determine what, if any, response to provide? This isn’t a very difficult concept to grasp.
