Addressing just what you regard as a logical point, a great deal of expensive weapons technology (eg: nuclear weapons) serve as an unused deterrence, a good deal more acts to hold a line and can prevent the killing of people advancing to others.

The error is more akin to the assumption that, say, intelligence is similar to height and that one person is definitively smarter or not than another just as one may be definitively taller or not.

Weapons tech and advertising tech are apples and oranges, each with their own spectrum of pro's and cons.
To be clear, I'm talking specifically about the first line of support at Waymo here. I am not precluding that they have higher levels of control behind layers of authorisation.
I am on the US left by any survey measurable by my principles, while not from US, this logic also sounds juvenile. Stooping to the level that a single person should be able to represent a whole side, did you see Joe at the debates?
Reasonable to make a request. Also reasonable for it to be denied.
> And you didn't address that they did find modest gains to the goals in the Seattle study.

I don't have much to say, other than personally I feel it's a tacit nod to the fact they found the results they wanted from this study, because it resoundingly relies on justifying a higher sales tax and this further encourages other parts of WA to adopt it and further establish it as a form of tax revenue while trying to provide a 'social good' which can be monetized.

Again, it's not entirely hard to bypass and because it 'may' show some minor benefit to justify itself seems like how most poorly formed versions of bureaucratic gate-keeping works.

But, to take the contrarian position [0] to even my own argument it seems that in the 5 states they launched this with income taxes have also 'benefited' from these taxes. But its hard/impossible to properly measure that these consumers didn't just purchase things in a nearby city with no additional tax or just online so I think it's parameters can derive the favourable results it claims. And the following claim regarding 'significant evidence' doesn't really compel me to say it was vastly evaluated:

> But the study also looked at adjacent zip codes to the SSB-taxed cities: finding no statistically significant evidence that purchases had increased in these neighboring areas.

Which is why I defer to my anac-data, which admittedly biased illustrates that its just not effective but is entirely moot without addressing the core of the issue and principal of the matter as a whole: body autonomy.

It's probably a risky line of thinking, if you're addicted to sugar, to substitute in some other source of sugar. Best to avoid pastries, lollipops and sugary sodas.
As someone active in "resistance"-type organization from 2017-2021, with fundamentally the same politics now as I had then: I think all this "bend the knees" shit is mostly working to the benefit of the GOP, and I wish people would stop it. We lost an election, in part because we bet that the median voter was prepared to disqualify MAGA Republicans. They are not. Find a new angle, so we can win in the midterms. This isn't working.
Not all languages are perfect. I'm leaning towards the ones where the creators at least acknowledge the flaws in the language they've created.
Make the link in the email https://mercury.com/something instead of https://mailgun.com/something (which then redirects to https://mercury.com/something). Or (in addition to, or instead of, a hyperlink) provide a 6-10 digit numeric or alphanumeric code that could be copied out of the email message into a form field on the signin screen.
Sounds really unusual for a first offense at that age even for burglary. So I assume there’s more to the story.

Yes. And for string formatting in general such as sprintf to calculate buffer size. Also for proposes of calculating length for string padding and alignment.
>According to this way more recent study they are totally reversible: And this one says the same:

I see nothing in your links that supports those conclusions. The second one at least asserts that recipients overwhelmingly don't want to reverse the effects, but this too is a complex topic (see e.g. https://slatestarcodex.com/2018/09/08/acc-entry-should-trans... ).

Also, the link you're responding to isn't a "study", but rather a position document from the NHS (UK national healthcare).
P and B frames are compressed versions of a reference image. Frames resulting from DLSS frame generation are predictions of what a reference image might look like even though one does not actually exist.
Absolutely not. While that might sound like a safety feature it can also be extremely unsafe.

Sounds likely, in which case there needs to be a much more "break glass in case of emergency" control which gradually lowers the maximum speed cap of the vehicle.

So even if the vision/pathfinding believes there is nowhere to park and nowhere else to turn, it will still coast to a stop in a way that is not inherently less-safe than a more-normal car running out of gas and stalling on the road.
I'm not saying Twitter it is good. It is demonstrably not. But you're kidding yourself if you thought Facebook fact checking was suppressing the antivaxers and flat-earthers.
> The problem with this form of obfuscation is it also impacts other industries (legitimate functions) including areas of national security.

I'm aware that "national security" is often invoked in these types of discussions, and a little aware more than I think the general populace at how valuable some of this data is to intelligence operations. However, I would counter that by saying perhaps someone should consider whether it's a problem that such "critical" national security functions belong in the hands of companies that control the flow of such data for profit to anyone with a pocketbook, and ponder whether this is actually working to cause net help or harm for national security. I would argue strongly the latter, to the profitability of the people that control such data and contribute a lot of money to the elections of people that put forth their agendas, but this isn't the place to do so.
> doubt their preferences are >1x

That’s still something, especially right at the money!

Some series also have various blocking, dividend and other rights.
Fooling device fingerprinting would be wonderful, but could never provide 100% cover against tracking, since any site you log into has has a user identity that can be tracked using your email or phone number.

Maybe we could break this into categories of knowledge:

* A user identity on any particular site, and the personally identifying information (PII) attached to it (email, phone, IP addresses used)

* A wider identity profile that can be stitched together via site user identities and browser fingerprinting

* The topical interests of an identity

It'd posit that to break tracking you'd have to disguise the first two by randomizing PII and browser fingerprint. Randomizing the third is more about making the collected data on personal interests useless regardless of identity, thus decreasing the value proposition of invasive advertising.
No, I expect over time they'll gradually settle into an equilibrium that works in both sets of circumstances.
> moral incompletionism suggests they can never be fully right

Yes. My conclusions are twofold.

1. Attempting to create a complete and consistent moral framework is a fools errand. There will always be either moral gaps (cases that are outside the moral framework's ability to judge), or moral inconsistencies (cases where we have two incompatible moral conclusions).

2. Attempting to render a moral framework invalid by either pointing out its incompleteness or its inconsistency is not meaningful - since all moral frameworks are susceptible to one or both of these flaws. Therefore our justification for deciding the virtues of a moral framework cannot be that it is consistent nor complete - rather it has to be something else entirely.

We have to accept that there are unknowable or conflicting moral facts and each of these results in moral ambiguity either by absence or excess. This is independent of any particular moral framework (Yes even yours dear reader).
it's possible, but idk why you would expect that. just to pick an arbitrary example since steve ran some recent tests, a 1080 ti is more or less equal to a 4060 in raster performance, but needs more than double the power and a much more die area to do it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghT7G_9xyDU

we do see power requirements on the high end parts every generation, but that may be to maintain the desired SKU price points. there's clearly some major perf/watt improvements if you zoom out. idk how much is arch vs node, but they have plenty of room to dissipate more power over bigger dies if needed for the high end.
> AI will never get past its current autocomplete on steroids state

I’m honestly betting on robotics. Tokenising words is intuitive. But the parameter space for tokenised physical inputs is both better understood and less solved for.
Child safety locks that prevent people from opening locked doors from the inside are standard on four door vehicles for the rear doors, but they can usually be disabled.

My two-door had them disabled by default and it's not uncommon for taxis and rideshares to disable them.

It seems insane not to disable them in a Waymo - you wouldn't be able to escape in an emergency.
Eh, I think it's a neat idea. No one's forced to use or buy this - as is the case with any offered service. Also, the 'qualified human being' in the end is still the tattoo artist who's actually doing the tattoo in this use case.
I assume most people who would use this won't just get a 1:1 copy tattoo of an AI generated result, the artist can still reiterate and use the designs as a draft or inspiration.
Today's hardware typically consumes as much power as it wants, unless we constrain it for heat or maybe battery.

If you're undervolting a GPU because it doesn't have a setting for "efficiency mode" in the driver, that's just kinda sad.

There may be times when you do want the performance over efficiency.

> and they still don't think to simply just tell GPT what lens they want it to view content in, or give it accurate and necessary directives. They think it'll handle that for them. Why?

Projecting much? That doesn't describe me _at all_. I use ChatGPT and other LLM's frequently. I just legitimately don't think it would be good at the task of grading a paper with any sort of consistency. I don't even see why you would _need_ your paper graded for you to know it has flaws.

I concede. You are 100% correct. The iPhone was definitely based on a feature phone with T9 typing. Anyone who says otherwise is delusional. Me quoting earlier posts is totally moving the goalposts, and for that I apologize.
This pretty much describes a lot of what I’ve experienced in online language learning communities. A large majority of my friends who eventually reached fluency in their target language ended up leaving or becoming significantly less active over time despite their success. Over time, the quantity of ‘wannabe’ language learners has generally increased and reduced the overall quality of the communities. I used to be completely anti-gatekeeping but my opinion has been slowly changing on this point.

It is interesting that HN still seems to be very high quality (though I haven’t been using it super duper long to truly judge). Does HN have any healthy gatekeeping mechanisms aside from its (ugly) UI to keep it high quality?
> I cannot understand how people accept ads.

Advertisements have been around for thousands of years. The concept predates industry, democracy, and (depending on who you ask) capitalism itself.
In retrospect, this was a knee-jerk reaction to a topic where I have no idea what I'm talking about. Please disregard my rambling.

These comments are spot-on as far as physical health is concerned. Make an effort and you'll significantly improve your quality of life. I'd say you don't necessarily need to run marathons or triathlons, though, and I'd also suggest that cardio is not the best way to maintain good health, strength training is better.

I have been lifting weights for years now, and it does wonders for my health (for example: all my back pain and back injury problems are totally gone).

I would highly recommend to past myself reading "The Barbell Prescription: Strength Training for Life After 40" (https://www.amazon.com/Barbell-Prescription-Strength-Trainin...) and starting earlier.

8k traditional rendering at 144Hz is a lot of pixels. We are seeing a 25%/3 years improvement cycle on traditional rendering at this point, and we need about 8x improvement in current performance to get there.

I wouldn't say it's a "myth". My experience is a lot more like the OP's than what you describe.

It's true that some of your 3 dozen comments in this thread were fine, but you were still breaking the site guidelines in many places. Here are some obvious examples:

No one who has read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and wants to use HN as intended should be posting such things. These are not borderline cases.

Calling these links 'magic' is an insult to magicians who spent years mastering actual sorcery. We're just passing around URL-encoded tokens.
It's about minimizing cognitive load.
Kevin McMahill, sheriff of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, called the use of generative AI a "game-changer" and said the department was sharing information with other law enforcement agencies.
…
Among the details law enforcement disclosed: Livelsberger stopped during the drive to Las Vegas to pour racing-grade fuel into the Cybertruck, which then dripped the substance. The vehicle was loaded with 60 pounds (27 kilograms) of pyrotechnic material and officials are still uncertain exactly what detonated the explosion, but said it could have been the flash from the firearm that Livelsberger used to fatally shoot himself.

I do not think you need AI to learn that fuel and fireworks are explodey.

What makes this actual "reasoning" by the LLM, versus a document-extender that generates text where human readers perceive fictional characters as doing reasoning?

We can evoke the same kinds of document-characters which discuss loving their children, but that doesn't mean the children are real or that the computer has learned to love.

I harp on this distinction a lot, because I feel it's a common and fundamental mistake in these discussions and in product marketing.
What did you have in mind to make it easier?

It’s already not hard for workers to split off and form a new company with whatever ownership structure they want.

What’s somewhat harder is to find a way to cover your bills until the company is able to pay your salary, assuming you aren’t willing to sell part of the company in exchange for that funding. (I’m not giving you money in exchange for nothing; I’m probably not lending you money to immediately spend on salaries without collateral that will be worth something if you fail, and if you have that collateral, you could already use it to raise funds.)

Unless you’re proposing some government scheme to give money for no security, I’m not sure of the form of making it easier that wouldn’t be immediately gamed.
This doesn't imply "extrapolation" instead of interpolation.

At least you can do it well, imagine the grind when you can't.
It's easy enough to imagine an actual emergency which would necessitate remote or local intervention to stop the car, and the call seems to indicate that they don't have an emergency override or at least not without escalation.

What if there were a:

medical emergency of the passenger

crash up ahead

fire up ahead

earthquake

flood

malfunction of the driverless car

really anything that would make you pull over your actual car to the side of the road for your own safety or emergent needs.

And then you have to imagine if so, even with an e-stop button are you in a less safe situation if you do not have ability to reach the wheel from the back seat.

Those are concerns that would give me pause.
Nice project, but usage of the long s "ſ" makes this somewhat unpleasant to go through. Also it's a medieval character, Euclid didn't know of it, so is it purely to decorate the text? To make it feel more ancient?
I really do wish that one of the major platforms would a strict white- and black- list. "Doomscrolling" would be so much nicer if one could have, say, strict filters set to "Don't ever show me pranks, fake useless diy, kids being exploited, anything gym related" and "I really like snowboarding, WW2 history and pinball machines." Of course, the algorithm is still gonna "do its thing", but with a few hard guides.

Sure, initially the platform's view time would decrease, but then maybe people would actually like that platform.
Thanks for pushing for clarity here. So: I'm not saying that fact-checker warnings are ineffective because people just click through and ignore them. I doubt that they do; I assume the warnings "work". The problem is, only a tiny, tiny fraction of bogus Facebook posts get the warnings in the first place. To make matters worse, on Facebook, unlike on Twitter, a huge amount of communication happens inside (often very large) private groups, where fact-checker warnings have no hope of penetrating.

The end-user experience of Facebook's moderation is that amidst a sea of advertisements, AI slop, the rare update from a distant acquaintance, and other engagement-bait, you get sporadic warnings that Facebook is about to show you something that it thinks you shouldn't see. It's like they're going out of their way to make the user experience worse.

A lot of us here probably have the experience of reporting posts to Facebook for violating this or that clearly-stated rule. By contrast, I think very few of us have the experience of Facebook actually taking any of them down. But they'll still flash weird fact-checker posts. It's all very silly.
I believe I just fixed this—JavaScriptCore doesn't have support for a recently-introduced function.

At the very least, you can be creative with workarounds for such issues. A bookmarklet can be convenient.

In this example, if their alternative was a $300K/yr job at Google, that would certainly affect their willingness to accept your $250K/yr offer.
