The first step to ethical responsibility is honestly acknowledging what I've been taught to do and have done without unlearning those things. Second step is to consent to unlearning that and learning a different way that addresses all the issues. Third step is actually doing the unlearning/learning.

This is Germany. Here's a summary of the safety regulations.[1] Safety testing by an "accredited laboratory" is required.[2]

The New York City Fire Department reports that lithium-ion battery fires are a leading cause of fires and fire deaths in NYC.[3] NYFD got the city to require UL or equivalent testing for lithium battery fires.[4] This is working for sales within NYC but Amazon is still selling batteries with fake UL stickers.

NYC's big problem is e-bikes and scooters being charged in apartments and stores. Several hundred of those a year now, and they tend to be severe fires. Entire e-bike stores have blown up.
Those things need to be lithium-iron phosphate until solid state batteries become affordable.

(A good political move would be to get the incoming administration to require UL or better certification for anything imported that has a lithium-ion battery or a wall plug.)

has a very clear and simple answer that renders the rest of your post nonsensical.
It'll may help, but the police will realistically not make an effort into proving your innocence. You'll have to dig that evidence up yourself.

Netflix has a documentary, Long Shot, on someone who was proven innocent of a murder as footage of them at a baseball game was found at the time of the murder. They had to get help finding that footage, as the police wouldn't check.

The prosecutors absolutely did not care that video footage, and phone evidence, placed him at another location, and continued to insist on his guilt. The judge eventually dismissed the charges.

I wonder if the McDonald's employee really recognized him from those couple of off-angle photos or if Mr. Mangione himself initiated the action in order to let someone "deserving" collect the reward. It seems to me that he wanted to be caught, and the amount of evidence that he was carrying on him is obviously meant to establish his identity beyond any doubt. The amount of meticulous planning he undertook for the actual shooting contrasts with the trail of evidence that he kept dropping along the way. He would've basically never been found if he had just worn a pair of sunglasses.

The system was created at their behest specifically not to reduce their profitability. If you didn’t follow the debate 15 years ago, the ACA was the compromise adopted after the healthcare industry plowed money into advertisements, lobbying, and astroturf to kill the idea of a public option. The concept traces back to the Heritage Foundation’s proposal offered after the healthcare industry killed the Clinton healthcare plan in 1993, but the Republicans immediately switched to opposing that as soon as it had any chance of passing because literal billions were on the line as soon as insurers couldn’t drop the most expensive customers from their pools.

As only a cursory user of said tools (but strong opinions) I felt the immediate desire to get an editable (2D) scene that I could rearrange. For example I often have a specific vantage point or composition in mind, which is fine to start from, but to tweak it and the elements, I'd like to edit it afterwards. To foray into 3D, I'd be wanting to rearrange the characters and direct them, as well as change the vantage point. Can it do that yet?
The two basic facts to be aware of.

Momentum is mass times velocity. Energy is m v^2 / 2. Both with adjustments in the relativistic realm, which this barely gets to.

The maximum thrust per atom lost is going to be at insanely high velocity. The maximum thrust per unit energy is going to be at low velocity. Which makes ion thrusters great for slow changes of velocity when powered by unlimited solar power. But terrible for launch with a finite energy budget.

Useless trivia. A traditional rocket becomes more efficient if you mix some mercury into the fuel. The loss of energy is made up for by the extra mass. The collateral damage from the mercury is an environmental disaster though.

For a lot more, including the source of that trivia, I highly recommend reading https://library.sciencemadness.org/library/books/ignition.pd....

I didn't know that anecdote. The point that a perfect chess engine would not necessarily be hard to play a draw against (until you accidentally play a losing move) is one that many people miss.

Although it could of course use some strong existing engine to pick a move in drawn tablebase positions. I assume Stockfish already does that.
> it doesn't matter because we don't get any additional information about whether our original choice was correct

That's the missing assumption. I would say assuming that people are perfectly random falls into the "standardized test" category.

> you won't get information, and you should still always switch and win 2/3 of the time.

You always get some information, the set of possible results becomes narrower, so saying the probabilities don't change is not sufficient. Not a good idea to discuss the problem in informal language though.
I don't even get why I have to "sign up." I'm already a paying customer with an existing account.
I am skeptical that unh is denying more than other insurers. Since half their business is physician practices, they actually make more money treating the patients. Also they have more physicians on staff making decisions than competition, and I would rather doctors are more involved in those decisions than mba’s. in fact they are probably too effective, and the competition is running scared looking for antitrust protection.

It's true that AI will be a tool used to harm people in a broad set of use cases, but the tools are too far removed from their respective applications in people's minds. People directly deal with health insurance companies, not the software vendors that sell the tools with sanitized descriptions.

> when asked by authorities

Key point right here.

You let people post what they will, and if the authorities get involved, cooperate with them. HN should not be preemptively monitoring all comments and making corporate moralistic judgments on what you wrote and censoring people who mention Mickey Mouse or post song lyrics or talk about hotwiring a car.

Why shouldn't OpenAI do the same?
I do appreciate the thoughtful responses you have given. I need time to digest what you have said, but you have given me a lot of food for thought.
Many years ago I got to see a neighbor’s tumble dryer on fire. He’d dragged it out onto his driveway and let it burn. No fire extinguisher apparently. Had this been a battery fixed to his wall, he’d have lost his house.
Here's something I find interesting: We have multiple paid accounts with OpenAI. In other words, we are paying customers. I have yet to see a single announcement or new development that we learn about through email. In most cases we learn these things when they get covered by some online outfit, posted on HN, etc.

OpenAI isn't the only company that seems to act in this manner. I find this to be interesting. Your paying customers actively want to know about what you are doing and, more than likely, would love to get a heads-up before the word goes out to the world. Hearing about things from third parties can make you feel like a company takes your business for grant it or does not deem it important enough to feed you news when it happens.

Another example of this is Kickstarter, although, their problem is different. I have only ever backed technology projects on KS. That's all I am interested in. And yet, every single email they send is full of projects that don't even begin to approach my profile (built over dozens of backed projects). As a result of this, KS emails have become spam to be deleted without even reading them. This also means I have not backed projects I would have seriously considered and I don't frequent the site as much as I used to.

Getting back on topic: It will be interesting to see how Sora usage evolves.
> If I understand correctly, when an initializer is provided the padding bits are set to 0.

https://interrupt.memfault.com/blog/c-struct-padding-initial... looks at this (albeit a bit outdated; clang 13 and GCC 11) and claims to see undefined values even when initializers are given, at higher optimization levels

> Additionally, setting the whole chunk of memory to 0 w/ memset would work.

This seems to be the only thing that can be relied on to work (… sadly)

An alternate answer is: don't treat structs as chunks of bytes when the chunk crosses padding (i.e. create functions to hash specific structs)

Another alternate answer: remove the padding and add "_pad12[34]" members instead. But then you need to figure out where you actually have padding, which is architecture dependent…

We don't have enough livers for every transplant case; someone needs to say no to some of them. If you think that's necessarily an evil act, you need to think harder.

The issue I see with all this is the anger isn't because this CEO denied claims that should have been accepted (that would be reasonable anger), it's that they denied claims at all. How do people expect insurance to work? An insurance company that never denies claims doesn't stay in business.

(And obviously, yes, I think the US healthcare system is lousy. But in the system you have now, you have insurance companies, and they need to operate in the real world.)
Sure, for nonviolent criminal offenses. It helps that accepting responsibility for one's actions (as demonstrated by turning oneself in) generally results in significantly reduced sentencing.

For violent offenses, and especially for high-profile murder cases, they don't give the suspect the option of turning themselves in.

>That's an EXTRAORDINARY claim and one that contradicts the experience of pretty much all other research and development in quantum error correction over the course of the history of quantum computing.

Not sure why you would say that? This sort of exponential suppression of errors is exactly how quantum error correction works and why we think quantum computing is viable. Source: have worked on quantum error correction for a couple of decades. Disclosure: I work on the team that did this experiment. More reading: lecture notes from back in the day explaining this exponential suppression https://courses.cs.washington.edu/courses/cse599d/06wi/lectu...
Yes, Option type is a special value type.

The solution here is more oriented towards glue code, code which strings together multiple API calls. The attempt is to provide a set -e type error handling for such code.

What I have seen is that some error handling, even if it not perfect, is better than letting errors be ignored.

Does it matter whether the professor or the teaching assistant is the one giving the examples?

The professor is in an awkward position, because the professor at the front of of the large-group lecture hall doesn't have anything to do to add value. Watch videos, read book, work exercise, and then go to recitation or office hourse for interactive tutoring.
It's somewhat notable though that technically the "nuclear" part is almost less important then the delivery systems though.

>There doesn't seem to be a lot of fiction that features the Pinkertons prominently. One exception is the (excellent) HBO TV series Deadwood

There's also The Tall Target, a 1951 movie that sometimes gets played on classic movie channels, which is about the "Baltimore Plot" in which Abraham Lincoln was supposedly going to be assassinated on his way to his first inauguration in 1861. Supposedly it was prevented by the Pinkertons, although historians question if any real plot was planned.

Yes - the puzzle should not revolved around semantic ambiguities like this. Let's be clear about the terms of the puzzle, agree on definitions, and then argue from there.

In fact, I would extend this to arguments as well: Let's be clear up front what we mean by important words and go from there. Too often people ending up arguing about definitions, but in roundabout ways.

Strong plus one here. Not only that, but it uses gobs of energy in total. Google has reneged on all of its carbon promises to stay in the running for AI domination and to head off disruption to search ads business. Since I've unconsciously trained my brain to not look at the top search results anymore because they long ago turned into impossible-to-distinguish ads, I've quickly learned to just ignore the stupid AI summary. So it's an absurd waste of computational power to generate something wrong that I don't even want to see, and I can't even tell them to stop when they're wasting their own money to do so.

I think a lot of these things sort of come-for-free when you are an actor based language. Like actors are basically little processes communicating with each other, so you've mostly already abstracted away from memory pointers on your local machine, thus, it's trivial to move an actor to a remote computer but continue communicating with it in largely the same fashion. Clearly you need to be wary of latency but otherwise it looks about the same. Actors are single-threaded and have their own private state, so upgrading an actor is "just" replacing old code with new code but the same private data. You don't have to synchronize this access with other threads or similar. Actors just make this easier, which is why you'll probably find such features in languages using actors.

Acton has its own run time system though which shares much more with Pony than with BEAM. Pony folks wrote a paper on distributed computing with actors - https://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~scb12/publications/s.blessing.pdf
