Those aren’t the only options. It would be trivial change to allow any dealer to request access to any vehicle and have it tied to the active employees SSO or something similar that at least leave an audit trail and prevents such random access. Allowing anyone to be a dealer is the real oversight. They could put some checks in place also to prevent the stalker situation GP mentioned. It’s always going to be possible but reduces risk a lot if employee just has to ask someone else to approve their access request, even if it’s just a rubber stamp process making sure the vehicle is actually in need of some service

> It's also not open to arbitrary subjective opinion. There are rules

> Conversations follow rules of etiquette because conversations are social interactions, and therefore depend on social convention. Specific rules for conversation arise from the cooperative principle. Failure to adhere to these rules causes the conversation to deteriorate or eventually to end. Contributions to a conversation are responses to what has previously been said.

Both parties must agree on those rules. There is no mandate that one must follow another's rules, in the initial engagement. This is helpful to understand, in modern online discourse. If someone doesn't want to play by some basic rules, further engagement is likely futile and unproductive.
"Microsoft has spare cloud capacity" definitely not, if they're actively building out new datacenters to keep up with demand.
That's one of those little white lies. Sure, they don't "tie your transaction data to you personally", but they absolutely do. Every purchase you've ever made on the internet has been deanonymized to a globally unique "Device ID". The companies that manage those device ids absolutely have your entire online interaction history, everything.

It only takes about 30 bits of entropy to perfectly deanonymize everyone, and I know of many companies that have been doing it for at least a decade or more.

And it works very very well.

Their government was deeply unsustainable. There was no way they were going to be able to support that quality of living in the long term without defaulting on their debts or eroding away welfare through inflation.

Milei's plans are incredibly ambitious, and I don't know the chances that it will actually be pulled off, but I wish the country luck.
Meh. Not really.
No, my numbers were randomly picked and mean nothing other than one being greater than the other.

My point is that the person growing tomatoes themselves has much more control over the tomatoes than someone who buys them from a shop, even if it costs them more money to buy from the shop.

Me being the shop's only buyer of tomatoes means I have greater control over the shop than if there were 100 buyers, it doesn't mean I have more control over the tomatoes than growing my own. And what we care about is control over healthcare, not control over registered companies related to healthcare (that's just a proxy for control over healthcare - aka tomatoes).

Or imagine these two examples (again, hypothetical):

Government A builds their own hospital and runs it using government employees, their budget is $10M/year.

Government B contracts Company Y to build and run a hospital, they sign a contract saying "we will pay you $20M/year to run it, and no oversight needed - good luck, have fun".

You clearly couldn't call Gov B the one with more control over their hospital, could you? Even though they spent twice as much on it.

Sure, no government signs a contract that simple, I'm not trying to describe a nation's situation, just pointing out that "spending more money" does not equal "having more control".

Astro is fantastic. I initially used NextJS with MDX, and something simple like using relative markdown links to images was utterly impossible.

I remember going down a day long rabbit hole to understand why, and it boiled down to content layer, MDX and NextJS using different, incompatible module loaders, bundlers or transpilers of some kind[1][2][3]. Ridiculous. And don’t get me started on the image component.

In the end, Astro just works. No need for React (unless you want it), it’s simple, fast and produces a static site you can use without JavaScript.

Data fetching is also utterly trivial, so you can have a fully static site with “live” data pulled in at compile time.

I recommend it to anyone with frontend fatigue.

In theory, I agree that LLMs could perform those jobs.

I may just be less of a techno optimist. If history is any guide, the automation of front-line human interfaces will lead to less good customer service in the name of lowering labor cost as a means of increasing profits. That seems to make things worse for everyone except shareholders. In those cases, we’re not making the customers experience more efficient, we’re making the development of profit more efficient at the cost of customer experience.

In my opinion, the better way to design such a thing would be for there to be a private key held in a secure environment inside the car which is used to sign credentials which offer entitlements to some set of features.

So for example, when provisioning the car initially, the dealer would plug into the OBDii port, authenticate to the car itself, and then request that the car sign a JWT (or similar) which contains the new owner's email address or Kia account ID as well as the list of commands that a user is able to trigger.

In your scenario, they would plug into the OBDii port, authenticate to the car, and sign a JWT with a short expiration time that allows them to query whatever they need to know about the car from the Kia servers.

The biggest thing you would lose in this case is the ability for _any_ dealer to geolocate any car that they don't have physical access to, which could have beneficial use cases like tracking a stolen car. On the other hand, you trade that for actual security against any dealership tracking any car without physical access for a huge range of nefarious reasons.

Of course, those use cases like repossessing the car or tracking a stolen vehicle would still be possible. In the former, the bank or dealership could store a token that allows tracking location, with an expiration date a few months after the end of the lease or loan period. In the latter, the customer could track the car directly from their account, assuming they had already signed up at the time the car was stolen.

You could still keep a very limited unauthenticated endpoint available to every dealer that would only answer the question "what is the connection status for this vehicle?" That is a bit of an information leak, but nowhere near as bad as being able to real-time geolocate any vehicle or find any owner's email address just given a VIN.
I am for one surprised that the initial concept of Gatsby -- a static site generator with React, GraphQL and other hype words of late 2010s -- was actually able to raise $40+ million dollars to build a platform for what to me at the time seemed incredibly over-engineered stack for static html pages and an unproven founder.

They're also rapidly replicable. I don't believe for a moment that Apple is designing their system in a way that doesn't allow switching at a moment's notice, and everything they're doing is copied within 6 months by competitors including LLaMA, which Meta keeps releasing for free.

> The idea that they have been resting on their laurels and have nothing else to show is just demonstrably untrue to date.

I didn't assert that they were resting on their laurels, I asserted that they have no path forward to the next generation and AGI. If they did have a path they wouldn't keep burning their hype for it on applications of the previous generation that are easy to replicate.
The notion that consciousness is going to emerge in a system where neurons are modelled as bits is laughable.

A proper sovereign country, not dominated by totalitarian corporations, ought to create and maintain something like LibGen as a national common good.
oh, i see I'm getting downvoted; this isn't a sales pitch for my "managed postgres platform".

every year a new postgres release occurs and i want to try out some of the features i have to find a way to get it. usually nobody has it available.

here's the list of homebrew options I see right now:

brew formulae | grep postgresql@
postgresql@10
postgresql@11
postgresql@12
postgresql@13
postgresql@14
postgresql@15
postgresql@16

maybe you're seeing otherwise but i updated a min ago and 17 isn't there yet. even searching for 'postgres' on homebrew doesn't reveal any options for 17. i don't know where you've found those but it doesn't seem easily available.

and i'm not suggesting you use a cloud service as an alternative to homebrew or local development. neon is pure postgres, the local service is the same as whats in the cloud. but right now there isn't an easy local version and i wanted everyone else to be able to try it quickly.
if you know, or ought to reasonably know what it will be used for, you are contributing to armament of a foreign power, and international traffic in arms.

> But a shredder doesn't actually destroy information.

See, people keep talking about the "common sense" idea. Well, in the common sense view, yes, a shredder actually does destroy information, because you can't read the page any longer. The "common sense" people don't have any notion of information in the quantum sense, or unitarity, or waveform collapse, or any of that stuff.

"Common sense" does not mean "common sense among postgrads in quantum mechanics". Those are two completely different things.

The "common sense" level is probably something like, black holes exist, and maybe some notion that something called "quantum mechanics" exists. Most people don't have any kind of "common sense" about the details.

Really? I would expect that safely bringing everything back to room temp might take a while, but why would it take a long time to stop the magnets? The whole point of this machine is to rapidly switch the magnetic field on and off, right?

The way I read this, the cop slapped the big red "emergency kill" button that just shut off the power feed to the machine, rather than clicking the button on the HMI that shut down the magnet.

I am not an expert at all though. I've never run an MRI machine. Can anyone who has chime in?
I once worked with a surly backend developer at a company where for whatever reason the relationship between front and backend was quite poor. One day we were sitting in a long boring meeting and this guy told a story about how his children learned to talk with one another in preschool. The point was we had failed to achieve what the toddlers had, and this comment garnered a big round of laughs. Later on I filed a bug ticket with backend that was legit and this same developer acknowledged it as such. Then what happened was he and the other backend devs made the endpoint completely non-functional, removing even the workaround I had been using. The ticket stayed in limbo until they got back to me and basically said they could return it to its original buggy state or "explore" the matter further. Not keen on more passive aggressive shenanigans I said just return it back to original form. All this to say that.. making a fun joke that obscures the actual complexity of the problem is a sure way to score points with thoughtless buffoons, but it doesn't mean you aren't a hypocritical jerk and that you're mostly wrong.

No, Ukraine does not have the data needed to do this reliably. As I said,

>many individual dishes that were donated, and being paid for, by private individuals outside Ukraine.

Ukraine has decided that having those dishes continue to operate along with the odd Russian dish is better than mistakenly turning Ukrainian dishes paid by an American or French or Australian individual off.

>I think the data will show that it is going to take logarithmic costs in either train-time or inference-time for linear or even sub-linear improvements.

The data already shows this, it's a well-established result: https://arxiv.org/abs/2001.08361 . Well, less established for inference-time compute, but OpenAI even said they saw the same thing for inference compute in their release post for o1. But there's still room for at least an order of magnitude speedup with specialised hardware (as opposed to more general-purpose GPUs) and ternary nets.
That does not make the slightest amount of sense - Starlink is a US goverment asset, it's Brilliant Pebbles, the dishes are geolocated, a dish knows if it's moving or standing still because it needs to receive from the right satellite, there needs to be an uplink station nearby, they would make very sure not to be working for the enemy.
