> The concept seems tedious and heavyhanded and the article slots right into my confirmation bias — I haven't seen dull meaningfulness like "the finger trap represents how work is a trap and how wellness perks are a trap because you like them but they're from work" since high school AP lit.

You’re free to read, or not read, the show as much as you want. It’s still decent read as just a sci-fi thriller.
Neither lost-in-the-middle nor long context performance have seen a lot of improvement in the recent year. It's not easy to generate long training examples that also stay meaningful, and all existing models still become significantly dumber after 20-30k tokens, particularly on hard tasks.

Reasoning models probably need some optimization constraint put on the length of the CoT, and also some priority constraint (only reason about things that need it).

Just wanted to say that I see you post a fair bit in HN, but have never heard about your music and art. The hair is great, and with the art, I picture some kind of doom metal. I completely agree with you on needing to do things your way, for the things that you have passion for. If you can make money off it, that's great, but if it's only for money you'll probably burn-out and despise it.

The show has an excellent sci-fi mystery at the core of it that keeps me going. It feels thoroughly designed in a way many television mysteries don’t, especially long running ones.

The #relatable office antics angle is certainly important towards the sci-fi mystery being told, but it’s definitely oversold IMO. Almost as if the main thing people liked about Twin Peaks were the romance subplots.

Ask HN: What is the best AI for helping with editing large texts?
I'm working with an extremely large body of text, that also explores really complex themes. I am just looking for recommendations for the best AI editing tool.

note: I've got grammarly, but hate the way it works. I want something like ChatGPT but less stupid, and ideally, with less restrains on what content can and cannot be discussed.

Thanks :)

"Enrichment", in the context of nuclear power, doesn't mean extracting uranium from ore or purifying the uranium. "Enrichment" means increasing the percentage of fissionable ²³⁵U in the uranium. This process starts with extremely pure uranium, for example in the form of UF₆, so it's the same process regardless of how dilute the original uranium was. So the energy required for it doesn't depend on the concentration of the original uranium deposit.

In the case of things like coal, the energy cost of mining is significant compared to the energy obtained from it. In the case of uranium, simply because the amount of material processed is so small by comparison, it is not significant. As I showed above, it would not even be significant if you have to mine 300 times as much rock as uranium mining currently does.

Obviously you would be better off investing in wind, solar, and storage than in nuclear energy. (Hydroelectric and tidal are less clear wins.) But that's not because sufficiently concentrated uranium deposits are rare. On the contrary, there's literally nowhere on the planet where uranium is insufficiently concentrated.
This is not the first case of accidental reuse of example keys in firmware signing, https://kb.cert.org/vuls/id/455367

Would it be useful to have a public list of all example keys that could be accidentally used, which could be CI/CD tested on all publicly released firmware and microcode updates?

If there was a public test suite, Linux fwupd and Windows Update could use it for binary screening before new firmware updates are accepted for distribution to endpoints.
Been using it since the early days and it has become a core tool in my arsenal. Tailscale along with 5G and RDP or Parsec means I have access to my powerful home server and primary dev machine no matter where I am. Can even access it on my iPhone (only RDP).
From a leadership personality angle, who do you think initiated this brilliant marketing/messaging campaign — sue a country because ”it infringes on human rights and Apple upholds it.“

Do you think this kinds thing comes from someone in Marketing, Legal, a C-Suite, or is this kind of thing a thing by community at Apple? If it is the last, it would be brilliant to read that protocol/process/flow.
cool story, but severance is a really good show, though.
True, but the vast, vast majority of people can't tell and don't care about color accuracy. I am not even talking about 100% sRGB vs P3. I am talking about 45% NTSC vs 72% NTSC. Most people can't tell the difference unless you show two screens side by side and point out the difference to them.

The problem I have with intelligence is that intelligence alone doesn't win a land war in Asia.
Why is AI better at killing humans than humans? What exactly is the threat introduced by "intelligence on silicon" rather than "intelligence on meat"? Why would an AI be better at attacking computers than humans using automated tools to do the same thing?
> I have already given you all that but you keep dodging

No, you have not. The quotes you posted just list various storage systems and don't bother to set specific capacity requirements. I'll ask again:

How many TWh of battery storage are provisioned in your hypothetical 100% renewable world?

How many TWh of pumped hydro?

How many TWh of other storage? And what are these alternative storage systems?

The posts you link only talk about the cost of storage, but not the total capacity requirements. This is important, because 12 hours of storage for global electricity consumption is 30TWh. Only about 1 TWh of batteries are produced each year globally. So actually trying to provision grid scale storage would massively increase battery demand and drive up prices. This is the a reason why nobody wants to talk about the total capacity requirements for a primarily renewable grid.
How is this going to help anyone other than Trump's buddies?

It's a shame this hasn't been discussed more, as far as corruption goes, it's blatant.

What takes me out of the show is that the premise collapses after a moment of critical thinking: US citizens cannot sign away basic civil rights in a contract. If you signed a contract wherein you agreed to stay in a location for a certain number of hours no matter what was done to you, that contract would not be enforceable.

And what possible justification could a company have for blocking any communication between an innie and an outie, even if no confidential information was involved? The only justification would have to be “because we want to be free to abuse your innie, duh!”
IMO, the central idea of the show -- that being Severed represents you in two different ways -- its a lie. There's something else going on there. I think I've figured it out, but I'm not gonna post potential spoilers!

I think the thing you're missing is that the dull meaningfulness -- also a lie. The entire thing isn't what it seems. THAT is my hook! (Yes, I could be wrong, that OK, its just entertainment) :)
Looks cool, I’m interested. Apparently I’m the combo breaker around here but I’ll live.
When an OS making use of 386's features became mainstream we were well into the '90s. By that time the 386 itself was long obsolete. If by everyone you mean almost nobody, then I agree because that's how many people used the 386 as a 386 and not simply a fast 8086.
Whichever the ruling party is, it seems to never be one that actually supports free speech.
Not sure if this was a serious response. But tethering kills battery life on your phone, which especially sucks if you are travelling.
> America negotiates a deal with Russia, then sends the deal to Ukraine and it's up to them to take it or leave it

Come on.

> because you don't like how the negotiating is done does not mean that US is disrespecting Ukraine's sovereignty

We're treating their borders as violable in the negotations. That violates the deal. The fact that many Americans have jumped the shark when it comes to honest dealing sort of underwrites why we're no longer a reliable partner--we don't even know when we're lying.
Haha I had the exact same thought when I saw the title.

That said, the new car looks very much like an "electrified" Golf, which is one of the first cars I drove, and I have fond memories about it. The new car may succeed if they target the same audience, and remove all those fancy user-tracking "features".
I loved season one. I'm struggling with this season. [Minor mid-season spoiler ahead] Since they entered the goat room I just feel like I don't want to continue. Ever since Lost finished I have become extremely skeptical of shows that raise more questions than they answer, especially when they are really, really weird questions.
I absolutely love Tailscale, it's been a game changer for accessing my home gear from anywhere.
if the same circumstance happend due to human clerical error by a local delivery shop would you consider it enslavement or just an honest mistake.

I think theres a weird tribal alignment angle in your interpretation of the scenario.

You consider computers and machines to be an other, and so in this circumstance youre mind is framing it as subjugation.
No... this headline is incorrect. You can't do that. I think they've confused the performance of running one of the small distills to existing smaller models. Two Arc cards cannot fit a 4 bit k-quant of a 671b model.

But a portable (no install) way to run llama.cpp on intel GPUs is really cool.
It is also approved by Apple. But to the GP's point nearly 5 years later I still dont think they should have done Apple TV+. How many billons invested into Apple TV+ programme that still didn't get any return of investment while they could have done a lot better job elsewhere.
I’ll take a swing at it. It seems like your read on the show currently is that it’s a dilbert / office space style take down of the banality of office culture, which there are some little references to certainly but is not the point of the show.

The real central themes are about how much of who we are is innate and how much is our accumulation of experiences (nature vs nurture). This intersects in interesting ways with explorations of authoritarianism, corporate power, religion, trauma, coping mechanisms, and scientific ethics.

All of this is wrapped up in a mysterious setting and presented through fantastic acting, directing and production design. I look forward to it every week in a way I haven’t since the first couple seasons of LOST.
It will get a waiver.
The Westerners have been tirelessly making excuses about how it's impossible to defeat Russia for a while now, so forgive me for not being impressed, but the proposition is quite simple really — if you don't want to support Ukrainians fighting for themselves against Russia today, Ukrainians will be sent to fight poles and others for Russia tomorrow. Of course as it's clear now, the US wouldn't defend Poland either, fighting Canada is the new geopolitical priority, so there's that.

Agree that China is a winner of it all simply by virtue of not being mad, but as they like to say in Russia — it's not the evening yet.
Maybe not German, but certainly French, as in Citroën's ID19, the lower-cost version of the classic DS19. In that case, "ID" is pronounced the same as idée.
My understanding is that top_k and top_p are two different methods of decoding tokens during inference. top_k=30 considers the top 30 tokens when selecting the next token to generate and top_p=0.95 considers the top 95 percentile. You should need to select only one.

https://github.com/ollama/ollama/blob/main/docs/modelfile.md...

Edit: Looks like both work together. "Works together with top-k. A higher value (e.g., 0.95) will lead to more diverse text, while a lower value (e.g., 0.5) will generate more focused and conservative text. (Default: 0.9)"

Not quite sure how this is implemented - maybe one is preferred over the other when there are enough interesting tokens!
> Military defense guarantees, not on the table according to 4 presidents now, could become a possibility

If someone trades territory for a U.S. security guarantee--absent a U.S. base that would have to be bombed by anyone trying to take more of the country--they're an idiot.

s/small/cheap/gi

Americans like cheap, especially when there's a lot of economic pressure.
Britain should rejoin the EU, the company that produces the Ariane rocket should produce ICBMs, which should then be stationed in Greenland.

Given the current threats, probably the ICBMs should point both ways.

If Greenland wants independence (unlikely given the current situation), the Danish parliament should simply refuse to ratify it. That's how politics works since 2025.
The world is overpopulated, population collapse is a good thing. Except for the economy. Which also happens to be a good thing considering how far we're into overshoot.

Not enough people to take care of seniors? That's not really a problem. The problem is it pays better to do other work that's useless or downright destructive to society, like trying to show users more ads to get them to consume more.
This is not a joke: it stands for Intelligent Design.

When pronounced english ID pretty much has the same connotations in German as in English, but the phrase “Intelligent Design” isn’t connected to creationism in Germany (or rather, creationism wasn’t a culture war issue here in the first place).

When the letters are pronounced in German, it sounds like “Idee” (idea), but I’m not sure if they’re leaning into this, nor whether the average person will have that association.

AFAIK, EVERY1 (garyoldman.gif) is a working title and it’ll end up being called something different.
No. Your data isn't worth that much.

Meta has 3 billion daily users across products and brings in $165 billion. Their entire business is your data and they get about $55 a year off of selling yours. (I picked them because they have little revenue other than ads, though even then, not all of their ads have anything to do with your data, but I'm estimating in your favor and calling 100% of their revenue a result of collecting your data, because they're probably the closest to it at very large scale.)

So even if a car company was as good at collecting and monetizing your data as Meta, it couldn't meaningfully dent the price of a car. It couldn't even charge the batteries for a week. Data is cheap and highly scalable, cars are neither.
The floor price for these things isn't awful ($1000) as NFT PFPs go, so they've retained some sort of value, perhaps because of Rose.
ChrisMarshallNY gave you the true answer, as far as creating the type of art that he's made (which I find amazing) and mastering painting. Another way to go about it (which I did at the start of the pandemic) is to just buy some canvases and acrylic paint (more forgiving than oil since you haven't painted), and some cheap brushes. Experiment and try to create something. It can be completely abstract and only for you. Learn how the paint dries, and how adding a bit of water to your paint affects it. Look up some YouTube tutorials on beginning painting. Best thing to do is to just keep painting. You can even take a canvas and just keep painting white or black over it to start over, just so you aren't spending much on canvas. I am totally unable to paint 3D objects, but I do a lot of abstract and symbolic/occult type art, and I personally love it as a means of meditation and getting away from technology.
Yeah I move a window and it's immediately noticable. I'm jealous of people who can't tell.
> it’s due to start production in two years

The specs are great for 2025. Let’s wait for 2027 when BYD has a better performing model for much less.

I am all vouching for VW’s electric efforts. I drove the ID Buzz which is great. I just wonder if they could sell competitively without tariffs in the EU.
I suspect EU leaders started drawing up plans in 2017, and dusted them off in November.
To wean off US dependence. Or you think they US should be responsible for global policing indefinitely?
Hmm, that hasn't been my experience. My Mediatek 4gb Chromebook is surprisingly snappy (and gets incredible battery life, better than my Macbook that cost 10x as much). Starts to slow down a bit if I go over a dozen tabs while having a video playing but otherwise, it's solid.

I can even use VS Code remote on it in a pinch, though that's pushing it...
Air is my favorite laptop of all time. Portable, durable, and now powerful enough to be a semi-workstation.

I'm curious what the final price will be stateside. Claims of a $21,000 price point bear skepticism, these days.

Even ignoring trump tarrifs.
I am glad I am not the only one. I feel they are making it as "mysterious" and plodding as possible to pad out the narrative. I am guessing the writers do not really have any idea what direction to take the show. Been burned by too many shows that promise some big reveal to all the mysteries described, but then never deliver. I suspect this will happen with this show as well.
I'm ambivalent about Severance, though folks here may appreciate that it has many excellent establishing shots of the magnificent Bell Labs Holmdel Complex.

You can decently build a 14'' ThinkPad that meets these requirements.

Here is what I am using right now from my fastfetch:

Display (SDC4193): 2880x1800 @ 90Hz [Built-in]

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 7840U w/ Radeon 780M Graphics (16) @ 5.13 GHz'

GPU: AMD Device 15BF (VGA compatible) @ 0.80 GHz [Integrated]

Memory: ---- GiB / 58.51 GiB

Disk (/): ---- TiB / 1.82 TiB

You can even go cheaper and get a slower CPU as far as I know. And for that price apple doesn't give out that much RAM.

What requirement you have is not meet here?
btop is cool, cheers!

But I have to ask, do people really use Flatpaks for something like a process monitor? It feels like a process monitor should launch almost instantly. Waiting ~3 seconds for a Flatpak sandbox to spin up just to check system stats seems pretty frustrating.
Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.

Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.

...
I wonder what that statistic will be a year from now.
Parsec have a mobile app as well
AI doomers are just more inteligent AI investors. Hope doesn't sell quite like fear.
I kind of have a mental block around Tailscale even though it would be useful in some cases for me, because the name "Tailscale" instantly trips all my snake oil trauma responses. Can't they call it "Weyergourd" or something?

> But what other advantage did this give them? Like name specific examples. Feel free to leave, but I honestly don't see where you're coming from.

Back when Apple used Intel processors, they were at the mercy of Intel's roadmap; if Intel missed a deadline for a new chip, Apple had to change plans. Obviously, that's no longer the case.

Back in the Motorola/IBM days, their G5 processor ran so hot that Apple had to create a special case with 7 fans to cool it. It was an amazing engineering feat, but something Apple would never do unless they had no choice. I've used a Power Mac G5—it sounded like a jet taking off, and the fans stayed on. [2]

They get to integrate new technologies quicker than being constrained by the industry.

Apple launched the first 64-bit smartphone, the iPhone 5s, in 2013—at least a year before any Android manufacturer could. And when Qualcomm finally shipped a 64-bit processor, no version of Android supported it. [1]

There are dozens of examples where Apple's vertical integration has allowed them to stay a step ahead of competitors.

The latest is the C1 modem that shipped in the iPhone 16e. Because the C1 is much more efficient than Qualcomm's modem, the 16e gets better battery life than the more expensive iPhone 16 with Qualcomm's modem. [3]

And because Qualcomm's licensing fees are a percentage of the cost of the device it's in, shipping the C1 enables them to put modems in laptops. The Qualcomm fee is significant: an iPad Air starts at $599; the same iPad Air model with one of Qualcomm's modems costs $749.

Customers have wanted MacBooks with cellular modems forever; now they'll be able to do that, since the modem will become part of Apple's SoC in the near future.

That's what you can do when you're not constrained by off-the-shelf components.

"... I have to ask, do people really use Flatpaks for something like a process monitor? It feels like a process monitor should launch almost instantly. Waiting ~3 seconds for a Flatpak sandbox to spin up just to check system stats seems pretty frustrating."
yes, exactly. some people like "weird" and thus probably would like almost anything by kubrick. (i am that person.) but no matter what, my wonderful spouse does not like "weird" tv or movies, and thus does not and will never like kubrick movies (or severance). she's ride-or-die for the hallmark channel, though.

That's way too expensive for an "affordable EV".

The BYD Seagull retails here in Uruguay for less than that and we tax cars at about 100%. On China it seems to go for 10-12k.

It's a proper, basic city car. 4 to 6 air bags, ~300km range (more than what this article's car indicates), all basic security features and standard gadgets out of a modern car.

Our EV infrastructure is not viable if you don't have a charger at work/home and yet these have sold like hot cakes.

Legacy carmakers are making increasingly worse ICE cars for the most part (btw does GM sell a C-segment hatchback on any market, anymore?) and their EVs are simply uncompetitive. What's it going to take for them to wake up to the fact they're going to have to stop fleecing their customers with crappy products? Bankruptcy?
