The really difficult and expensive part is manufacturing decent cars, at scale. The profit margins on that part generally suck - so Capitalism says "hahaha...NO".

The pretty-easy-and-cheap part is adding glitzy screens to cars. Doing that gets most people all excited...and willing to shell out far more money.

In an extremely well-run socialist country, there'd probably be good, low-tech electric cars.
> we know that human AGI was a result of an optimisation process (natural selection)

I don't think this is obviously correct.

Three things:

1) Many actions we think of as "intelligence" are just short-cuts based on heuristics.

2) While there's probably an argument that problem solving is selected for it's not clear to me how far this goes at all. There's little evidence that smarter people end up in more powerful positions for example. Seems like there is perhaps there is a cut-off beyond which intelligence is just a side effect of the problem solving ability that is useful.

3) Perhaps humans individually aren't (very?) intelligent and it is only a society of humans that are.

(also perhaps human GI? Nothing artificial about it.)

> no idea how large the search space is for finding AGI, so applying something like Bayes theorem (which is basically my argument) tells you more about my priors than reality.

There are plenty of imaginable forms of intelligence that are often ignored during these conversations. One in common use is "an intelligent footballer" which applies to sport for someone who can read a game well. There are other, non-human examples too (Dolphins, crows, parrots etc).

And then in the world of speculative fiction there's a range of different types of intelligence. Vernor Vinge wrote about intelligences which had motivations that people couldn't comprehend (and Vinge is generally credited with the concept of the singularity). More recently Peter Watt's Blindside contemplates the separation of intelligence and sentience.

Basically I don't think your expression of Bayes' theorem had nearly enough possibilities in it.
Reworkd (YC S23) Is Hiring a founding back end/infrastructure engineer
If I see the green and blue Fairtrade® logo, I know it's been independently audited, otherwise I just assume the worst. There's no way to get around independent audits and a reputable trademark that signifies the product has been certified. The main issue is that most people aren't willing to pay the premium on super slim margin products (e.g., tea, bananas), but certainly there's enough people who pay a premium for coffee. I have a hunch that there's a premium market for avocados, at least in the more expensive dining and grocery establishments.
Could you find any hint about the "surplus O2" claim in that article? The only thing I found was fig. 1 which seems to imply a cycle which completely turns glucose and oxygen back to CO2 and water, making the whole thing a fancy solar cell without any emitted oxygen.
There has been order-of-magnitude 100 billion dollars worth of NATO gear provided to Ukraine with the express purpose of killing as many Russians as possible, let alone the intangible value of various forms of aid provided (things like intelligence are hard to assess). "Hehe, well we didn't file the proper paperwork" isn't exactly the sort of response that is going to get a good result.

I doubt the Russians are worried about whether the US followed its own self-imposed process of officially declaring the alliance. They're worried about the network of countries that the US is building up with the fairly plain purpose of destroying the Russian military followed by regime change. They respond to threats when they detect them, not when the US or whoever decide to officially declare that the threat is being made.

> ... 'missile banks along the Russian border' is ridiculous, given that none of the other NATO members that border or are near Russia received US missile banks.

The presence of all those members is why I think it might well happen. NATO has the real estate and doesn't seem worried about escalations. Why not? NATO seems to be pretty firm in their belief that a good offence is the best defence; I think technically we've never seen them fighting defensively? Although I maintain de-facto that what seems to be happening in Ukraine is the defence of a NATO country.

> Finally, even if Ukraine was about to join NATO, that gives Russia no right to invade it. I don't understand why you seem to believe that it would.

Can you name a war where the invader had a right to start it? This is war! The people purposefully starting wars are almost uniformly monsters clothed in human flesh. The best case is that they are monsters in an age of other monsters. If there are exceptions to that none spring to my mind.
> but how much of that current value is real rather than an AI speculation bubble?

I mean, by definition given that it trades freely their market cap is real. Your market cap today is what the market thinks your future cash flows are worth. The bubble and the bubble popping should in theory both be priced into Nvidia's market cap.

What isnt' is events the market doesn't anticipate, AMD coming out with a current generation chip that can do inference as well as the H100 is something the market hasn't priced in.

Andy our manufacturing example is very poor as NVidia is certainly part of the manufacturing pipe line by designing physical products that people buy.
Which is exactly the point the GP was making, I think.
That may well be the difference between “programming” and “software engineering.”

They’ve been explicit that only some knowledge related requests get sent to OpenAI, and only after the user has been asked “ok to send this to ChatGPT?”

If they allowed your private email contents or any other private context to leak outside their encrypted enclave (local or their new online hardware) then the entire set of privacy claims would go out the window.
Yes, they buy these chips from fabs (made to their design) but it is the chips they then sell on, at about a 4x markup to what they bought them for. Good business model! Buy low, sell high. Whether good enough to justify current valuation is another question.
Doesn't he say right at the start that basically nobody is pricing this stuff in right? Becoming an investor makes a ton of sense if you earnestly believe that.
When people speak about Europe, they are rarely including Russia and Turkey.
Stripe was founded in California. It's an American business that focused exclusively on the American domestic market in their first years of operation. Many tech companies in the US are founded by immigrants from Europe and elsewhere. That the Collisons chose to start their business in the States is no coincidence.
Many chase tenure in the hope that they'll be sufficiently immunized against pressure.
High-Level Group "Going Dark" outcome: A mission failure
The salt is in the plain sight.

The do the standard AMD comparison:

8x AMD MI300X (192GB, 750W) GPU
8x H100 SXM5 (80GB, 700W) GPU

The fair comparison would be against

8x H100 NVL (188GB, <800W) GPU

Price tells a story. If AMD performance would be in par with Nvidia they would not sell their cards for 1/4 price.
But the good Greeks did us a great service by shpwing us they couldnt afford those cars without taking loans from German banks. And by not being able to repay those loans, proved what a fucking house of cards the whole story about being a 'power house' is.
It's both worrying and refreshing that reactionaries of today are comfortable enough to just say "Yeah, so what if we did?" instead of the usual weaseling.

Utterly unsurprising to me.
Nuvia developed this IP based on a very narrow license they got from ARM to develop for the server market.

Qualcomm is trying to transfer everything Nuvia has developed under that specific narrow ARM-license to their own broad license and use it for all their products, but the license Nuvia had explicitly limits the use of IP created under this license and the license itself is non-transferrable.

So Qualcomm doesn't have Nuvia's ARM-license anymore, and their own ARM-license doesn't cover the IP of Nuvia.

ARM is arguing that the IP of Nuvia therefore does not belong to Qualcomm, and they seem to have the contract to support that.

Meanwhile, Qualcomm thinks that they have no need to license newer (comparable) architectures from ARM, because they acquired the IP from Nuvia...
"Dutch Roll is a coupled out of phase movement of the aircraft as result of weakened directional stability (provided by the vertical tail and rudder), in which the aircraft oscillates around its vertical as well as longitudinal axis (coupled yaw and roll)."

Far more a general trend. We have a major transition right now.

Most businesses never operate from an operational budget but rather debt. When rates go high, the businesses have to cut the fat. Which generally means the job market tightens.

This is but 1 factor in why the governments should be obligated by constitution to balance the budget.
Given how little carbon there is in any practically accessible volume of air, a major obstacle in any atmosphere scrubbing project, it probably doesn't matter. This is likely better understood as a power source that absorbs a bit of CO2 rather than a CO2 scrubber that produces a bit of electricity.

Yes, but surely since the money for creators comes from advertisers who will pay for ads watched, not skipped I assume, it might all work out the same?

Like you I hate to watch ads now. I have a box for live TV which allows a 30 minute pause, so when I want to watch something "live" I tend to start it, pause, and then come back later so I can skip past the ads. Perhaps people will try something like that?

Interesting details, thank you for providing them!

Regarding this:

> Still, I'm not holding my breath, because while Apple loves to leave doors for tinkerers on their laptops, iPhone is their Fort Knox.

People don't realize, but 99% of what Apple does hinges on the iPhone. The rest of the products pack a much lower punch if the iPhone were to vanish from the face of the Earth completely. It's the product all their customers have and they have it at all times with them. It's the product that's probably the easiest to use and the easiest to connect to other things.

So yeah, the iPhone will probably be the last non-military device on the planet to be opened up :-)
Can you elaborate on what "a flexible layout" means in this context? Is this data layout, i.e. serialization format(s)? UI layouts for displaying values in the data model? Something else?

(We too are in the "let people execute their code on our servers" space; providing a flexible data model seemed to have been key)
Is this exclusively for smartphones (and I guess tablets too), or does this also take effect with other walled devices, like consoles (PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, etc.), media boxes (Fire TV, Apple TV, etc.), ebook-readers and what else there is.
I've lived in Germany for 30 years and I've sent zero faxes as well. That doesn't mean the administration doesn't run on fax. The number of times I've been told by the tax agency or my healthcare provider to send a fax is astonishing.

When doing my taxes, I've asked if I could send some required documents of my deceased father via email, and the lady _didn't even know if she had an external facing email address_. I was just to send it to info@, tell them to print it and put it on her desk. She also didn't have a direct phone line, so I had to call the central office first and ask them to connect me to her.

My mom runs a small business there and luckily she's got fax-to-email and email-to-fax. Just because younger people use other means of communication now doesn't mean it's a myth. It's very much there, and other means very much aren't.
That would make sense if this was about Arm IP, but it seems (reading between the lines here, sorry) that Arm feels that since Nuvia developed their cores under a specific licence from Arm, Qualcomm now needs to re-obtain that licence.

Like if you bought a non-profit and Microsoft told you thay you can't use your pre-existing Visual Studio licence to edit their code, but need to re-negotiate theirs.
Yes. In fact, when you set up an AirTag, you get a giant warning that even says "Apple cooperates with law enforcement" reminding you that the tag is linked to your Apple ID.
The price at use is free, so how much should we tax it?
Show HN: Terraform automation and collaboration tool running in Buildkite CI
Hey HN - today we’re launching Digger for Buildkite.

Unlike other Terraform CI/CD systems, Digger doesn’t run jobs on the server, it is designed [1] in a manner where it can reuse the compute of your CI. We think this approach is superior as it’s scalable (you reuse the compute of your CI) and secure (as no sensitive stuff leaves the privileged environment of your CI)

Digger has 2 components:

- A CLI agent that runs in your CI and interacts with Terraform CLI
- An orchestrator backend that responds to events from your VCS and triggers CI jobs

When a PR is opened, Digger starts a CI job that runs *`terraform plan`* and posts plan output as comment. You can then comment “digger apply” to run *`terraform apply`*. Digger can also be configured to run apply only after the PR has been merged, as is preferred by a lot of organisations for their higher environments.

The orchestrator backend is self hostable [2] and does not have access to any sensitive data. It’s only role is to trigger CI jobs, your sensitive data never leaves the high-trust environment of your CI.

For the last 15 months, Digger has been GitHub Actions only. But recently Buildkite support came up in one of the enterprise POCs, and we thought, why not launch it? However, since we’ve built it initially for the Enterprise Edition, you’d need a license key to try it. (it’s much easier to move features from EE to CE than the other way around!)

Here’s a 14 day trial license key you can us to get set up: `DIGGER_LICENSE_KEY`:
4B25EE6C8721BA69A467B7633453A

To set up Digger , ensure you have a valid license key (use the one above) and a Buildkite account with a CI agent. Install the Digger orchestrator using the Docker image/Helm Chart and include the `DIGGER_LICENSE_KEY` environment variable.

Configure Buildkite with the necessary tokens and pipeline settings. Install the Digger CLI on your Buildkite agent and prepare your repo with a `digger.yml` for your Terraform projects. Create a Buildkite pipeline, set your license key, and add a step to invoke Digger. Test the setup by creating a pull request and verifying the webhook events and Buildkite triggers.

We’ve decided internally to ship new features to the enterprise edition first, and then move it to the community edition as removing features from the community just didn’t seem right to us. We’d also love to learn if this is best practice or if there are other ways to split features between CE and EE. We’re currently following Gitlab’s buyer based open core model [3]

Please test it out and let us know what you think, we’d love your feedback!

Here's a serious way to identify if someone's left wing or right wing. Ask them this question: what's more important, human rights or property rights? If they answer that property rights are more important, or, especially if they say something like "Property rights are human rights," you've got a right winger on your hands.
To be honest, the wood feels plasticky and the knob feels unfinished. There's also a significant gap between the wood and the bezel. The screen is too small, and battery life is poor.

I think the point is that if such conclusions existed, they'd have to come from trained researchers undergoing peer review who exist only in academia. If the academic environment has moral taboos on their mere discussion, then the inconclusive polarization is not necessarily reality- it's a self fulfilling prophecy.
This seems to be a big step forward. It’ll be interesting to see where the science community goes from here.

Will they embrace this research and dig into it further?

Or ignore it completely?
Unclickbaiting the title:

Photosynthetic power sources would absorb CO2

or

Photosynthesis could generate electricity while absorbing CO2

(according to the article. Using "could and would" because it doesn't seem to have been built, only modeled/computed/predicted. The paper linked in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40668458 does not mention the absorbing aspect if I'm skimming the conclusion right but maybe it's implied because plants are known to take carbon from the atmosphere?)

as a user, I hate apps that aren't in the repository. it takes effort to make sure it doesn't clobber something important just because the developer wanted to use the latest and most broken version of some library. thankfully nixos allows me to run whatever version of every dependency and then nuke the whole mess once I'm done with it.
