That's a good source, although that historical analysis extends to the year 2000 when even CFLs only had reached ~30% market share, and well before LED lighting hit mass adoption. It is only speculating about LEDs. There's no question that lighting demand has continued to grow but the efficiency increase has also been remarkable, so unless you know of another source that does the math, it's unclear to me to what extent it's ended up balancing out in this case.

Another confounder to Jevons' paradox is that the price of the input (electricity) can also change, independent of changes in efficiency. If electricity prices were to go up ten-fold during the switch to LED lighting, then we wouldn't expect much change in illumination (probably a net decrease, as people would be hurting so much from other electricity expenditures that they'd be hunting for any savings on their energy bill). That's of course a fictional scenario, but in the case of GPUs, well, they have been getting quite expensive.

So, Intel's fault was being focused on selling you the whole widget and telling you what you wanted, instead of something that met your needs. Just like Apple, IMO - the whole "product vision" thing is great when it's about figuring out how to sell a good smartphone and terrible when it's selling iPads with desktop chips in them that can't do any useful professional work outside of drawing.

Regarding the question: I appreciate your point. I was less concerned about offense and more about playing into the rule breaking and poor discussion etiquette you brought up. Its too easy to treat everyone like dingbats online and I don't like playing into that type of conversation. So, my apology was intended less as a "sorry for offending you" and more of a "sorry for not trying for a real conversation"
I recently came across an article on the early years of the Zürich streetcar. In the early 1900s, 5 minute schedules were customary, with one especially busy line running a 3 minute schedule!

In contrast, nowadays the peak schedule is 7.5min.
The new battery behavior is probably just some POSIX userspace process running under Linux, or perhaps some kernel tweak.

The whole of userspace will be replaced when LineageOS reformats all of the partitions.

It is possible that the new battery behavior has been injected into some deeper part of the hardware, but LineageOS is unlikely to make that worse.
I'm not an OpenAI apologist and don't like what they've done with other people's intellectual property but I think that's kind of a false equivalency. OpenAI's GPT 3.5/4 was a big leap forward in the technology in terms of functionality. DeepSeek-r1 isn't really a huge step forward in output, it's mostly comparable to existing models, one thing that is really cool about it is it being able to be trained from scratch quickly and cheaply. This is completely undercut if it was trained off of OpenAI's data. I don't care about adjudicating which one is a bigger thief, but it's notable if one of the biggest breakthroughs about DeepSeek-r1 is pretty much a lie. And it's still really cool that it's open source and can be run locally, it'll have that over OpenAI whether or not the training claims are a lie/misleading
The stripe where this object could hit is mostly at low latitude.
Yeah it is bad and a lot of damage if it hits somewhere populous but my understanding is we've tested nukes that powerful
Automation improved life in the Industrial Revolution because it displaced people from spinning and weaving into higher value add professions.

What higher value add professions will humans be displaced into by AI?
Why do you think the trips are slower than a human? I've only taken one Waymo trip (and my wife two) but in each case it didn't feel any slower than a Lyft. But it felt a lot safer! They definitely drive better than any human Lyft driver I've ever had.

And the prices seems to roughly match Uber/Lyft. Sometimes they're higher sometimes lower. The one ride I took I chose the more expensive Waymo just for the better experience. You don't have to worry about what the driver might say or do that makes you uncomfortable or unsafe.
I think they're talking about this:

https://opg.optica.org/optica/fulltext.cfm?uri=optica-11-12-...

"Quantum teleportation coexisting with classical communications in optical fiber"

It's a thing that has been well understood for many years. This is a nice practical improvement, using existing fiber optics rather than having to lay new cables.

The headline is bad and the BBC should feel bad. And the article isn't much better. Also, "quantum teleportation" was always a terrible name.

People here have been vocal against training on any unlicensed content.
Ah, I didn't know this was such a trend on twitter as I've never used it. Probably makes most sense to do it that way. I suppose I used to see it manifest as a "Show HN" and hope perhaps there's a wave of that coming

I should caveat that "Show HN" has turned more into "look at this github repo" and I'm talking about actual businesses as HN used to be a bit more entrepreneur oriented and has become a bit more maker oriented in this regard
It is not as if they are not open about how they did it. People are actually working on reproducing their results as they describe in the papers. Somebody has already reproduced the r1-zero rl training process on a smaller model (linked in some comment here).

Even if o1 specifically was used (which is in itself doubtful), it does not mean that this was the main reason that r1 succeeded/it could not have happened without it. The o1 outputs hides the CoT part, which is the most important here. Also we are in 2025, scratch does not exist anymore. Creating better technology building upon previous (widely available) technology has never been a controversial issue.
...and punitive damages for incorrect blocking, right?

Right?
I also prefer Sublime Text to all of the clones.

I'm more of less forced to use VS Code at present and it's an overengineered slow mess.
I personally just love Python type hinting for testing purposes. So I can avoid types while prototyping or playing with architecture, but once I have something I'm happy with, I find that adding types allows me to gain confidence in the program while having fewer tests, and generally making it easier to refactor further.

And full typing is also a great first step for rewriting in another language.
Microsoft rolls out DeepSeek's AI model on Azure
For some reasoning data (e.g. you talking out loud as you figure something out, mistakes and all) to be useful for RL training, the conclusion to your reasoning needs to be correct/verified, else that's not the kind of reasoning you want to learn!

Some types of reasoning output, such as solving a math problem or writing a computer program can be automatically verified (e.g. respectively by a symbolic solver, or by compiling and running the program), but in the general case it's hard for a computer to verify whether a chain of reasoning is correct and arrived at a valid answer or not, although LLM-as-judge should work some of the time.
That's a good point, at least for the prompts I saw. Like "do you have an app I can use" is commonly seen with "here's the ChatGPT app" online. And maybe they don't add anything telling Deepseek that it's Deepseek.
Another Bluetooth Connection Problem
I have read over many of the discussions on this site but none of them apply directly to my experiences. My overall problem is that sometimes certain devices which usually operate reliably completely refuse to pair. In all cases trying to forget the device, rebooting the devices in question, shut down, just don't work. 1. I have hearing aids with a BT transmitter for listening to TV. Or rather I have 2 transmitters but only one is flakey. From time to time the 2nd device refuses to pair: the other transmitter is powered down; I reconnect, I reboot, I forget the devices, finally I give up haha. And the next day, unfailingly, everything works as it should. 2. Same thing with my heart rate pickup from a chest belt. 3. Very occasionally I can't reconnect my cell to my car - try all the usual as mentioned above. Connection finally happens some hours later.
So all these circumstances happen with equipment used daily, and in respectively unchanging circumstances.
I dunno, a disparity in wealth exceeding that of the gilded age does seem like a significant issue.

You will certainly be happy to learn that Waymo is in fact introducing tipping.

https://x.com/wongmjane/status/1884136644238008334
The whole discussion is about whether or not the second case of using o1 outputs to fine tune R1 is what allowed R1 to become so good. If that's the case then your assertion that DeepSeek will surpass OpenAI doesn't really make sense because they're dependent on a frontier model in order to match, not surpass.
On the one hand, people put a lot of meaning behind things that may not have it.

On the other hand, I can tell one of my dogs which room my wife is in and he'll go directly to that room to get her. My house isn't small, either. I didn't specifically train him to do that, and it doesn't even come up that often, so I don't actually know why it works.
Unless those companies stumble on competing solutions that they can use to level the playing field. Waymo doesn't have this market to itself in perpetuity. Uber and Lyft basically have lots of revenue and can afford to take some bets on experimenting with different partners for self driving at a relatively low risk.

There are plenty of other companies experimenting with self driving taxis, cars, trucks, etc. And not just in the US. China is probably a lot further than Waymo on this front. In the end it boils down to cost at scale. Waymo has some early learnings for this, which is great, but it's no guarantee that somebody else won't come along and match what they are doing. Or massively improve on what and how they are doing what they are doing.

Tesla is the controversial one to mention in this context but I no longer believe that they'll get there first or exclusively. They might still get there. And maybe it won't even take that long. But they have a lot to prove and there are lots of other companies field testing working taxis with real passengers (unlike Tesla) at this point.

I wouldn't count Uber out. I'd say they are well aware of the challenges here and have a huge stake in ensuring that there will be multiple autonomy providers for them to choose from that all need the same thing to succeed: access to paying customers. Which is something that Uber has. The near future is likely to be mostly non-autonomous with specific geofences running experiments with autonomous driving in a limited number of places. Uber works in all those places and all they need is access to autonomous options in areas as that becomes available. They don't need to own or develop this in house. They just need access and some revenue share deal. More providers means more competitive deals.

I wouldn't be surprised to seem them close multiple, non-exclusive deals on this front in the next years. Possibly even with Waymo or Tesla. Or both. And then some.

Trump to cancel student visas of pro-Palestinian protesters
Federal employees have been demonized for decades. As Ronald Reagan said, "I think you all know that I've always felt the nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help."

The hate has been there. The "destroy" part is newish, at least at this scale, but it was inevitable.
Optimizing for cost, weight & performance often comes at the cost of repairability. Buyers compare cars on measurable statistics so they'll buy the one that is cheaper, faster etc.

Watch a Sandy Munro video and see the design details that get a lot of praise. The gigacasting is a nice example: great for performance and manufacturing, but bad for repair. Or, the car not having a separate floorpan and mounting the seats etc directly to the battery casing. Or the octovalve. These are great for everything except repairability.
Since people are reminiscing on the loss of their favorite music services from the past, I'd like to add We Are Hunted [1] to the list.

> proprietary search technology which continuously scanned the Internet to identify the hottest new music in the world.

For a short period is was the best way to discover new unknown music. It was bought by Twitter, folded into Twitter music (even though they never created a comparable feature) and killed along with it.

If anyone knows anything like this that exists today, please let me know.

The issue you raised here is valid but you must expect some downvotes given the religious level fervor many have been converted to feel, when it comes to anything that might step on someone’s feelings, even when it is backed by strong logic. Personally, I’d rather have a model that isn’t tuned to ignore the word “likely” and makes an educated guess about the situation.

I always forget if it was Candeland or the other guy who was prominent in early Gorillaz productions, but suffice it to say, those videos spawned quite the rad pedigree.

EDIT: Forgot to add that, since this is a Gorillaz-related comment section, I'm obligated to state my personal esoteric theory that DD/PB/HZ constitute Albarn's attempt to reboot Dante's Divine Comedy. (Among all the other fantastic things those albums are.) (Think about it.)
yep, that's the one! I don't know if there's any one place to discuss gradual typing. typed racket is probably the language with the largest academic community behind it, so the racket discourse would likely have some good discussions, though I haven't been keeping up with it recently.

I didn’t mean to say They had enough to mean they were satiated , it was supposed to mean they had enough in their own regions to fight , win and enjoy over they didn’t need to go overseas to acquire riches .

Neither region is a utopia in history or today, simply there was enough land and people and other resources within, so they viewed their region to be the world, there was no economic impetus to colonize or enslave from far off places is my point .
"What blew my mind was when one of the first dogs to use buttons was confronted with her "beach" button being broken. She started using the phrase "outside-water" to compensate for being unable to say "beach"."

This is actually something that the skeptics should address when they claim that all that button pushing is just simple conditioning.

Spontaneously creating a logically sound approximation for a broken button doesn't sound like conditioning at all.
I was seriously considering buying an Ineos Grenadier because I wanted a nice, modern, safe solid axle 4x4 with decent towing capacity that'll last 50 years or so, but the complexity of that B57/58 and the ZF 8spd, let alone all the other electronic trash like parking sensors, lane sensors, etc scared me off. Theoretically I might be able to keep it running on that timescale with standalone controllers for the transmission and engine but the complexity is just too much. Also, plastic intake manifold? Lmao.

So I bought an 80 Series Toyota. It only gets 1mpg less than the Grenadier. 30 years, all that complexity, and we gained 1mpg.

I'm working on a 1HZ-T swap. So I'll have a 1 wire engine with a nice simple aftermarket transmission controller, and an exhaust brake. I should be getting around 20mpg hwy when that's done and 100k+mi from a set of brake pads. I'm confident I'll be able to keep this running for 50yr.
> new ideas were expressed through some kind of mod

Roblox and Minecraft have exceptional modding scenes, eclipsing most previous generations by far?

A Roblox modder created lethal company, a game that outsold call of duty. Minecraft modders are building literal computers inside the game.

If we take modding as a pathway to learning engineering and programming, not only to producing games, then these are highly successful.

My personal speculation is somewhat different. I think it is unlikely that he was travelling alone. If the skirmish involved multiple people on both sides and neither side was able to completely eliminate the other on the spot, the action could have rapidly moved away from that location. In addition, the area of the skirmish, including his body, was quickly covered in snow afterwards. In this bad weather probably no one returned to the site in the following days, and if someone did, everything would have been hidden under a blanket of snow.

Meta Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Results
I've definitely heard stories of people saying GoDaddy grabbed their domain right after they searched it. There's almost always someone following those stories saying that it was just coincidental.

I have zero trust in GoDaddy. I remember when I was kid using their service because my grandparents had bought a website and hosting services through them and they wanted me to create the site. Their interface was so confusing and I felt like I suddenly had no understanding of how computers work.

Fast forward to today, and yes, past me was not very knowledgeable, but not to the degree their site made me feel. They use custom terminology for industry standard things, group things together in weird locations, and have so many dark patterns.

My point: sleazy tactics like domain front-running would honestly be on brand. I tell people not to use GoDaddy and definitely not for domain searching.
I don't think I understand your comment. The yield of nukes is of no consequence if they're not being used, so I don't think the comparison stands?
But none of those claims contradict the point that was made. It's not really clear what you're disputing.

AWS exists because Amazon had already developed the know-how and expertise in how to deliver computing infrastructure as a service and saw that offering this as a service to third-parties would be profitable. The only myth is that Amazon wanted to sell off excess computing.
Yes, last time we had a "multipolar world" it was absolutely terrible.
Anecdotal but I have trained a cat to understand certain words. I doubt she ever was able to contextualize the language, but she would react to specific words related to treats. In addition to that she would react to her name. Not in the same way a dog would but she would look at you when you said her name.

I think with dogs it definitely comes more easily. Training a cat takes a lot more persistence since they do not have the same social tools as dogs.
I’m a Pythonista of two decades who is working with typescript (on the backend) for the past two years and absolutely loving it. I don’t like the js part, but it doesn’t matter too much except when you’re working with numbers, which are a bit insane.

If anyone built a typescript layer on top of Python, I’d cheer that effort. If that new thing from the article will be that, I’m stoked.
In the US, small grocery stores are called convenience stores. Almost all small towns have one or more of these within a kilometer of most people in that town. Now you aren’t gonna find fancy organic produce at these stores, but the quality of food in the US is probably not generally as good as what you have in Europe.

Anyway, comparing a small country like Belgium (approximately the size of the state of Maryland) to a huge vast country like the United States is not a valid comparison.

Years ago, a Seagate HD suddenly crashed. Wasn't particularly old.

Then some point later, there was a good deal on Seagate HDs, and I bought another one.

Also crashed "early" in its life.

I never buy them again. The main PC building forum I used to frequent also have a pinned topic announcing that they've lost all hope with Seagate and will never recommend it for anyone asking for help on a build. That was 10 years ago, and last I checked they still stuck to that policy.

Don't buy Seagate.
