There is no way that it is unethical. According to who’s ethics?

According to my ethics it’s unethical for a company to believe it has any say whatsoever about what I author unless I give them specific assignment of what I create for specific compensation. Outside of that, they can go float a boat.

They hired me for my talent; and will compensate me adequately or I will provide my services elsewhere; and it’s up to me to determine what that looks like when I signed a contract with them.

It sounds like the corporate lawyers have succeeded in making you think they’re doing you all the favor when you create the value for them.

There’s a reason the FTC ruled against non-competes. It’s “ethically un-American”.
For embedded uses, 1GB is certainly big enough to not need to be 32-bit, so it makes sense IMO to use the same 64-bit binaries/toolchains/BSPs as larger platforms, especially since they're better supported by upstreams now.
This has been a thing in Michigan and likely a few other states for decades, although with a 10 cent bounty at least 10-20 years ago. There was apparently a 90-95% recovery rate last I checked, but I'm not sure how reliable those statistics are.

That still doesn't solve the problem of recycling plastics or bottles in general, which this research may advance.
Embedded Audio ML engineer here (albeit mostly outside of speech). A modern MEMS microphone uses typically 0.8 mA in full performance mode at 1.8V. Doing basic voice activity detection, which is the first step of a continuous listening pipeline, can be done in under 1 mA. Doing basic keyword spotting is likey doable in 10 mA. But this is only done on the part that the voice activity module triggered on. Lets say that is 4 hours per day. Then basic speech recognition, for buying phrases and categorization, would maybe cost 100 mA. But say only 10% of the 4 hours = 0.4 hours have keywords triggered.
That would give a total power budget of (1.824)+(104)+(100*0.4) = 123 mAh per day. A typical mobile phone battery is 4000 mAh. People do not expect it to last many days anymore... So I would say that this is a actually in the feasible range. And this is before considering the very latest in low power hardware. Like MEMS mics with 0.3 mA power consumption or lower, MEMS microphones with built-in voice activity detection, or low power neural processing units (NPU) that some microcontrollers now have.

> If Spotify, NetFlix, & Apple music are prioritized over streaming services by other companies

There’s a good reason why this is the case. All the major ISPs essentially worldwide have caching servers for all the major streaming service providers. Those servers sit directly at some PoP for the ISP.

This effectively removes the need for transit. Which is a win/win, for both, the ISP, and the streaming service.

IP transit at scale is not cheap.

Essentially what I’m saying is that it costs your ISP nothing to provide you with Netflix content, but it might be significantly more expensive to provide Disney+, for example.
We do criticize them. A lot. But there are certain boundaries where people get scared.

Salman Rushdie’s Satanic Verses is the key example. Many refuse to translate it. It used to take courage for book stores to sell it.

It’s a bit weird how this became the cause for religious extemists. It’s not a hateful book. It received good reviews in Riyahd and Tehran when first published.

But I’m old enough to remember bookstores refusing to sell it. Multiple translators have been killed.

A similar line exists with visually depicting the Prophet Muhammad.

People get killed over this.

ChatGPT won’t show an image of the Sultan Mehmet II, but has no such qualms about the Sultan Sulieman the Magnificient.

I can’t get it to depict anyone named Muhammad, can you?
Getting the recycling into the recycling location is just one of the problems.

recycling plastics is not cost effective (another random article)
https://greentumble.com/is-recycling-worth-it

the real "solution" is reducing use, not recycling, and re-use, not recycling. Recycling is what should happen with what's left over after the other two "Rs" (remember the 3 R's?).

Instead the plastics industry says "use as much plastic as you want, we'll pretend to recycle it" and everyone pretends that it's actually happening, and it's not. I think that's called "green washing"
Could be from a concrete mixer. (Credit: rando YouTube comment.)
That's not why cryptographers use assembly. We use assembly because performance often requires instructions the complier will never use that the CPU maker makes for us. Intrinsics invite all sorts of spilling issues and aren't quite as good.
Any chance the law will be changed before things get further out of hand?

Seems like the original target was mopeds? But somehow cars and trucks were included?
Do you think only ineffective, low performance people will go into the office? This is a "yes and" situation, not a binary one.

There will be high performers who choose to stay at home and there will be high performers who choose to go in. Between the two, they're going to choose the ones that go in. They clearly place some sort of value on having people in office, whether that is to help grow new employees, build a specific in-office culture, or because they want their leads and leaders to have physical, face to face interactions.

I just don't believe it is bad for them to be transparent about what they want, to use it as a filter for who they're going to promote, and set expectations accordingly. If you don't like it, you can choose not to work there.
> To add, the best people will almost certainly pick the work from home option

Citation needed.
Plastics are cost effective because they're allowed to be dumped into the environment without any cost, under the guise of fake recycling efforts.

If the plastics industry had to bear the cost of their product, it wouldn't be as cheap.

"For many years, recycling was relatively cheap. North American and European countries were sending millions of tons of recyclables to China, where they were bought at a price that helped offset the cost of local recycling schemes in exporter countries." https://www.rts.com/blog/is-recycling-worth-it/ (randomly picked from search "cost of recycling")
Did they change the rules from before? Otherwise it makes zero sense.

> Unless the person is a politician or an active danger, no good comes from publishing their name

What do you think of the case in my comment, tldr: suspected CSAM offences by a scout group leader. I think it was right that the scout group were notified so he could be suspended... but that is only a very small step from publishing the name, unless you put recipients under NDA and/or criminalise further publicity.

I'm honestly fairly conflicted overall. Obviously the malicious publication we see in general is bad, but I'm not sure where the line is.
You’re making assumptions about my original question. I wished to know their opinion on what made NotebookLM ‘look like an Intern’s project. If what they shared was something I agreed with and relevant than sure I would apply it to my project but I already have plans for improving my project to my own standards.

Thanks for sharing your perspective though, I will keep it in mind. I disagree regarding podcasts being a ‘big thing’ past the initial honeymoon phase. I do think that custom generated audio is also a big thing and the podcasting is the first exposure a lot of people have had with that level of quality, and since it’s free and everyone already has a Google account, it makes it much easier for it to viral.
I played it A LOT high school when it very very first came out, I was very good at it tbh. Randomly came into my mind today and was surprised to see it's still running, must be the longest running online game surly, or there about anyway.

License plate readers are about the only tool law enforcement has in my area to combat armed carjackings which happen with regular frequency in my neighborhood since the pandemic.

Those combined with police helicopters are the only way anyone is getting caught for this as chases are effectively banned. Before the deployment of this tech on major arteries there was effectively zero enforcement activity since nothing could really be done until it was far too late to matter.

It’s a weekly occurrence now just in my small neighborhood I pay attention to. The social tenor with police is such that very few support more aggressive proactive policing so this is what we are left with.

I don’t know what the correct balance here is, but saying they are only used for rare events is simply not true.
I don't know - where is the proof it's not? It's not like I can look at the source to the ad SDKs and figure out what they're doing.

With my family in the city. I am pro camera. The mobile units are provided by company LVT. Since deployed on market street, in addition to the national guard rollout, it’s much much safer at night.

However, I do worry about image storage. Primarily the use of the images by the private companies.

I do think the locations should be identified. Ideas for this:

1. Spectrum leakage by units themselves, I doubt these units are hard wired for data. Probably WiFi or Cellular.

2. Image detection - Google street view is quite active in SF. Train an LLM to detect the cameras at the intersection and run any street view images less than 12 months old through the model. Prioritize highest trafficked intersections.
I work with a shorebird expert who has been tracking migrations (Latham snipe whose range extends from Russia/Northern Japan to Southern Australia).

I think an early technique of tracking their migration before gps/chip/batteries were small enough was a primitive light sensor + data logger that would log day/night hours on the bird as it flew from island to island and the light data was enough to roughly estimate lattitute (and often enough to infer a location/date.

The data looked great in this form. It wasn't hourglass but with jagged edges and shifts. You could easily see which months the bird stayed in a single place for several days etc. clever stuff.
Also Badiou was doing his best work before the Soviet Union fell. For all of Stalin's crimes it's not so clear Russia was going to survive the 50 years 1917 in retrospect and it developed from a economically and politically backward country with a few culturally advanced spots [1][2] to an economic, technological and political rival to the US. People in "non-aligned" countries like India and Egypt could only wish they could develop that quickly.

Academically, Marx was ahead of his time even if his prophecy that capitalism would be smashed by "the tendency for the rate of profit to decline" and the labor theory of value turned out to be bunk. He was popular in the 20th centuries and even David Bell chair of the social sciences department of Harvard and as ardent a supporter of the status quo as there ever was claimed to be Marxist. [3]

the price of plastics that we pay is not the TRUE cost in my opinion. The solution would be to address this. Then i bet you plastic won’t look as competitive anymore…

For example, are plastic producers mandated to pay for plastic cleanup efforts? No. Well…why not? All the garbage ends up in the ocean and then destroys the food chain slowly. And then new companies like the “ocean cleanup project” have to scrape by and beg for donations to fund their ocean and river cleanup efforts.

Increased plastic prices would also encourage research into alternatives.

10gbps transit at the rock bottom rate costs $600/mo.

Please max out the line rate for a month or so straight and then tell me how happy your ISP is with you.

They are banking on the fact that you’re pulling 100mbps at the most, with bursts to 10gbps occasionally.
Tangentially related, DOS is a popular choice in this category of hardware.

Freedos has released 1.4rc1 recently, thus 1.4 is close.

Svardos switched to EDR-DOS kernel, which is derived from DR-DOS. That's a very nice kernel, written in assembly. Notably, Windows 3.1 works with it, including protected mode.
Try this as a test. Just choose an utterly random thing that has as little connection to anything in your life as possible. Then just start talking about that thing for a few minutes near your phone. Then never talk about it again.

Then tell me if you start to get ads for it. I think you will. I've seen it a few times.

One recent time, I was sitting with my wife and we were joking around and I was like "Why don't they have hamster wheels for cats?". We spoke about it for a minute or two and had a laugh. She swears she didn't google it and neither did I.

I concede that it may have been a one off and there may be explanations.
Yes absolutely.

Yes, NOR flash was common in these kind of devices and phones until maybe 2005 or so. So you could run code without loading it to RAM first. However, I believe RAM was still needed for stacks and heaps. Writing them to NOR flash sounds too slow.
The three Rs were in order of priority but because reduced consumption didn't exactly translate into what works for a sustainable economy under current incentive paradigms almost anywhere in an economy with lots of consumption we kind of wound up with the least important of the guidelines being what we could more reliably practice (the reasons are another discussion entirely).

Almost all the most pressing problems for the human species seem to be Wicked Problem classes and it's part of why I don't have a lot of expectation that any of them will be solved even _if_ catastrophic events like constant war and mass deaths happen. I also have doubts that whoever survives any of these kinds of events would be more genetically predisposed to solving these problems in the future either.
There have been a bunch of very powerful non-nuclear explosions. Perhaps a part of an exploding ship such as in the halifax explosion or the Princess Irene?
It's mainly very narrow right now because this is just a MVP and we are looking for initial users to provide feedback on the experience. The reason we made it is because nobody else has really done it. I also feel like where we plan to take this app it couldn't be handled within a social media platform alone. It will definitely require a standalone app once we get it to where we want it to be.

"Magnus Nordenmark" is the name used by the tabloids. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/250492078/sven-magnus-no... has the right date of death, and gives a grave site of plot SO 33 5756 in Solna Cemetery, Stockholm. (I don't know how to verify this without actually visiting the cemetery.)

Thanks for the comments! ELKS will run on an 8088, but also runs on any x86 PC using the legacy "real mode" which runs in 16-bit segmented architecture without an MMU or any hardware protection. It can be fun to boot a PC and see a close resemblance to Linux, but run the way things used to be, using only 16-bits.

It'll also run in ROM, e.g. using a 8018x CPU w/onboard PIT and PIC.

The point of ELKS today is about "small is beautiful" and seeing what can be done when limited to 64k code and 64k data, and 640k RAM. It's based on a very old fork of Linux and many of the internal structures are similar to what was found in Linux 2.0, without the changes for SMP support.

We just recently got a native C compiler/assembler/linker toolchain up and running. I must say making that happen provided some vivid comparisons of what programmers had to go through in decades past in both slower speeds and small executable file sizes, versus what we all have and expect today at our fingertips.

You have garbled that story. When a provider under bills an insurer that is not grounds for a lawsuit. At most the provider can submit a revised claim if it's still within the time limit.

And it's not necessarily a HIPAA violation to outsource medical billing and chart review as long as there is a proper BAA in place, and everyone follows the Security/Privacy Rules. Many small provider organizations pay outside services to ensure they bill at the highest allowable level.

I would think that radicalization is more likely caused by the center being more and more obviously fascist or corporatist or anti-people or whatever term you prefer.
this is exactly the sort of idealistic post that appeals to HN and nobody else. i dont have a problem with that apart from when technologists try to take these "back to basics" stuff to shame the substacks and the company blogs out there that have to be more powered by economics than by personal passion.

its -obvious- things are mostly "better"/can be less "annoying" when money/resources are not a concern. i too would like to spend all my time in a world with no scarcity.

the engineering challenge is finding alignments where "better for reader" overlaps with "better for writer" - as google did with doubleclick back in the day.
Depends. Lots of places recycle significant amounts locally.

An earlier article [1] linked in this one says about 1.2m radius, so ~2.4m or ~8ft diameter. At 48 seconds in the video there's a man standing next to the propped up side and it comes up to his chest, so that seems believable (the other side is down a slope).

It seems surprising it weighs 500kg though, as it's held up by a thin iron/steel pipe/bar. If it's solid mild steel at 7850kg/m^3, with an outer radius of 1.2m and inner radius of 1.05m, and a thickness of 4cm, that would be (π*1.2^2 - π*1.05^2)*.04*7850 ≈ 333kg. If the inner radius is 1.0m and thickness is 5cm, that would be ~543kg, so maybe it is that heavy.

Edit: The tooth profile looks strange for a gear. There's a clear but potato-resolution view at 36s in the video. The teeth have flat tops with sharp corners, the sides are pretty vertical, and the gaps have very rounded bottoms.

> What is needed is not new recycling processes, but a government that is not beholden to plastics industry lobbying.

I honestly don’t understand what this statement even means.

Are you saying that recycling technology is so cheap, efficient and easily deployed that government is the only obstacle to better waste management?

If that’s the claim, it’s audacious to say the least. Where’s your evidence to back it up?

Sucks. I will say this though: as soon as I see ads in my Perplexity search results, I'm cancelling my paid subscription and simply going back to Google. Without any other differentiating feature set, why would I pay Perplexity?

Some programmers will lose their jobs to LLMs. Those who lack confidence and give up because they saw a rigged Devin demo, for example. And those who can't actually deliver value now, because CoPilot can copy/paste from StackOverflow better.

If you think of your job as just writing more code then you might get pushed aside. If you think of your job as solving problems and adding business value, working with other people and thinking things through, I expect you will survive the LLM hype train.

Right now companies pay a small fraction of the true cost of LLMs. We're getting that first hit free to get us hooked. Once companies have to pay actual costs LLMs might not present an attractive alternative. And the performance of LLMs has started to plateau -- no reason to think the "rate of progress" will continue. And many reasons to think the rate and the progress get over-hyped and exaggerated.

I've survived several no-code and outsourcing panics in the business already. Do you think the managers who can't reliably reply to an email or sum a column in Excel will just turn into "prompt engineers" cranking out working code?
Of course ads should have all kinds of people because all kinds of people are around us. How about adding more Indians or Latinos? It is mostly white or african americans. And not just african americans, african americans with dreadlocks and afros? How many of african americans in your circle have dreadlocks and afros? Isn't it just overcorrection by pandering using stereotypes?
