Not OP, but I'm going to guess:

- Nissan's petrol engine is the crossbow, a well optimised generator for onboard battery

- Every other brand's EV is the machine gun. About 4 times as energy efficient as a petrol car when you take into account the lifecycle of the vehicle, so probably more when you talk about a hybrid car.

Isn't it the whole point?

Throwing money at a problem was expensive, it's a lot less expensive now

I don't think there are many fabs capable of producing HBM

My hope is on Huawei, which has recently developed a stacked chip architecture that reminds me of HBM, and I'm wondering if that's step 1 of China entering HBM production.

I don't know enough about hardware, so I might be saying absolute nonsense, happy to be corrected so I can learn where I'm wrong

You might be surprised to know that worldwide, low carbon electricity production is a little above 40%

I've heard multiple times Americans complaining about being on the bus.

Genuine question, what's up with being on the bus?

I lived in Vancouver BC, I can't see anything wrong with their bus. Not perfect, but yeah... It's a bus, goes from stop to stop. Anything special about bay area buses?

Using agents?

I would be extremely surprised if US labs weren't aggressively trying to optimise their stacks in exactly the same way. Any gain in performance or efficiency directly affects the bottom line as well as research speed.

One thing at a time, it looks like implementing a rendering engine from scratch is already enough work for 20 years. First make it work, then make it better.

I'm skeptical too, but there's a parallel market where people re-sell accounts and access tokens. This would make tokens much cheaper.

There's also an argument to be made that paying the token full price may be cheaper than going through your one RLHF or whatever other techniques that costs money.

A 10x reduction in pre-training means a 10x faster feedback loop. I'm pretty sure any lab would sign up for that. You can start experimenting on different approaches much more aggressively.

It's useful though, as I think (correct me if I'm wrong) that the gases generally used in HVAC tends to have much worse warming effect than co2 per volume.

We do need heat pumps deployed at large scale, but sometimes I worry we don't understand they need to be handled with care at the end of their life

If I'm not mistaken, it means 1kWh of electricity moves 4.1kWh of heat into your hot water tank. Heat pumps are amazing.

Hard disagree there. I still don't know what the article is about if I'm being honest, but it doesn't bear the markings of being generated.

You can but I don't want to see that energy bill

So if I read this correctly, Astra is not hiding reasoning, and the only technique we know off that hides reasoning is recursive latent reasoning.

Do we know of any major lab or large open source LLM that uses recursive latent resonning? Can't an additional network be trained on that latent thinking trace to decipher what's going on?

To the risk of contradicting myself, the less time I got, the more tempting it's been to jump into Apple's ecosystem. I love the hardware, I appreciate Apple's apparent care for privacy, but I just love my linux too much both in terms of UX and for what it represents.

yeah no open wifi in sight, MAC address is banned at the router level, but I appreciate the concern

What's VN in this context?

What would the HN crowd recommend for a good linux streaming box + hardware with decent TV UX and remote?

My LG is completely offline and I'm using an nvidia shield to display any content, but I'm thinking maybe I need to go the extra mile, there nothing preventing an android tv box to do the same.

Similar, I was only using it as a screen for my shield so I factory-reset it and never re-connected it to wifi.

It's actually a lot faster now (it's an 8 year old TV, their OS can get a little heavy on older models)

Maybe there's a middle ground where the code itself is only made visible at the same time as the latest build.

This shortens the exploit window

Not that I love Microsoft, but they would get a lot of heat if they let anybody generate harmful content as well.

They can't win on that topic.

Now I would not want to appear to defend the mess they've created out of windows, that's not the point.

I'd call it dystopianism, this page reads like an episode of Black Mirror

I'm not so much talking about developing countries, but more like UK, France, Germany etc.

Developed countries hiding behind the fact that their contribution is small. Of course it's small...

For context in France we regularly hear about how France is responsible for only less than a percent of global emissions. That's specifically what my argument is against.

The argument that small countries don't matter in the equation is silly.

There are ~200 countries, of course on average your country will be less than .5% of emissions. Thinking .5% is small enough to do nothing is exactly the kind of thinking that leads us to inaction.

So yeah, china and the US need to get their act together, but so does every other country.

One person's consumption doesn't matter, but multiply it by 8 billion and it does.

It's like being in a traffic jam and complaining about the other people in the traffic jam... Dude, you're one of them.

The threshold isn't measured in windmills, it's measured in co2.

If we emit more than 0, then we're in trouble.

Needless to say, we're in a lot of trouble.

thanks for testing it!

I guess that would make sense for such a small model to be missing the subtlety

could the long s `ſ` be throwing the model off?

I wonder to what degree malice can be engineered to look like incompetence?
