I don't think it's a good thing. The good thing would be to have a good education, and local groups with whom to discuss.

Blindly trusting a model that's easy to manipulate is not a good thing

But you'd have to believe in the fact that BOTH:

- their evidence is true (eg it's not just a too small sample size, in very particular conditions, etc)

- and MORE IMPORTANTLY that they haven't forgotten OTHER EVIDENCE which points to a much better way to do it

usually when you "see the world through metrics" you start to be very efficient at optimizing them... but then the first minute your metrics start pointing a different direction to the one it's "supposed" to (which happens to 100% of metrics since "all models are wrong but some are useful") and you go with the full speed of your optimization on the WRONG target, you start getting into issues quickly...

To be fair, if someone wanted to present that exact dataset efficiently, they would have probably proposed something much different, like an horizontal chart with thin lines, eg

North [------------] 7

South [--------] 5

East [--------] 5

West [-----] 3

or something, which would have saved a lot of data/ink ratio

I've always been wary of effective altruism. Anything that geek and people want to "optimize out" by engineering has a risk of just being a "let's ride very fast towards that wall" kind of venture

Nice !

The UX has some glitches... like when you click on an item, you HAVE to set the answer, you cannot go back to seeing all the markers...

Well probably you haven't done so yourself, because I use them on a fairly high-complexity system with concurrency, IoT devices, etc, and the solutions are often in need of large rework almost every time (when touching core stuff)

Indeed they are a militant group trying to get to one goal, which, if reached, is already quite big. So of course they don't solve everything, but it's already a huge goal

Meanwhile the author of the post says that "capture carbon technology is around the corner" while 99.9% of scientists say it won't work... so I let readers figure out who the clown is

One of the most famous one is the doctor who proved that it's better to wash your hands before an operation, and all the other existing doctors who never did that previously shunned him, because it would prove they "did their job poorly" before

Sure but "total amount of energy evolution in the box" is much, much, lower-grained than "knowing exactly everything about the inside of the box"

Which is exactly the part that "defies common sense" and is intersting

This is quite common, you add the private key to some secure hardware module, so that only that device can sign using the certificate, and then use TLS to connect

Interesting, wondering why Apple doesn't restrict the queries to its server using a certificate that would be pinned on the devices, etc, so at least you would need a legit iPhone/Mac to be able to do a query?

Everytime you make a comment about how Grok is led by a pro-fascist team, you get downvoted and your comment gets locked

Except for now HN doesn't do that. Every single comment that points the issue with Grok being built by a pro-fascist team is being "locked" so that they can't be upvoted

When did he "shit over nazi ideology"? He mentioned multiple times he favors white supremacy, and hates "empathy", how many more clues do you need?

You mean because he inherited wealth? sure, that's what most losers do

Exactly. And it's DEEPLY DISTURBING that all comments on HN that point out that X is pro-nazi no longer has an upvote button

We do believe that Musk is fascist

Same for most LucasArt games, Day of the Tentacle, Monkey Islands, and the others

Wondering about the world, using the simplified language of "mathematical logic"

We're building a repairable and sustainable e-bike battery at https://infinite-battery.com, it's compatible with many controllers (Bafang, Bosch, etc)

At https://infinite-battery.com (disclaimer: I'm a co-founder) our battery is compatible with Bosch systems

It's on the list, but we have been working on our newer models (cargo and mega batteries) so we haven't had time yet to add it! Hopefully we will do this soon

You seem too simple-minded to understand the issue with fascists. Perhaps try opening an history book?

Hitler was also put in power legally

Thanks :)

If you're interested, at https://infinite-battery.com we're building a repairable battery that you can connect to, it gives alerts, data, and is compatible with many e-bike controllers (Bosch, Bafang, etc)

Could be nice indeed, if it can handle MQTT5 and replace EMQX!

People shouldn't be assholes, but if they're passively recording, even for "good" / "non-creepy" reason... still the video that they took of you (that you might not have wanted) can be found in the database of Meta now, and will be used to train their next model, or to use it against you, or sell you ads, etc
