It's worth noting that the Fukoshima disaster

1. Lead to basically zero direct deaths

2. Was caused by the forth most powerful earthquake to have ever been recorded in the world (since ~1900), and the most powerful earthquake ever recorded in Japan

3. ~20,000 people died due to the Earthquake

Requiring a nuclear plant in Belgium to be safe enough to survive what caused the Fukoshima disaster is probably not a good use of money

> The fact that it's being done under government contract and (arguably) within the law shouldn't immediately make it any less bad.

Of course it should, to say otherwise is absurd

what, the NHS shouldn't have _any_ subcontracting? All data must only be held by sacred NHS monks in a vault somewhere?

As long as palentir are holding the data on UK servers, to modern data security standards, and they have a contract to do so, they should be able to

> Because I think "1 employee can do the work of 3 now" still hasn't actually been demonstrated

1 employee doing the work of 3 is I think is a stretch

but 1 employee doing the work of 1.1 employees from a year ago I think is almost certainly true - at least, me and everyone i work with is _at least_ 10% more productive, and using AI extensively

> but giving a 2B model full JS execution privileges on a live page is a bit sketchy from a security standpoint.

Every webpage I've ever visited has full JS execution privileges and I trust half of them less than an LLM

Unfortunately human energy use appears to be proportional to the amount of energy available

Hopefully we are able to reach a point of effectively unlimited cheap energy and storage but it's that if overnight we suddenly had enough solar+batteries to power today's usage, we'd suddenly need way more as demand rises

Hopefully if they ever go to Sri Lanka they get localised tuning because I was surprised to find out flashing your lights over there doesn't mean "go ahead", it means "if you don't get out of my way I will ram you"

not really no

you can set up a cloud function to monitor billing limits and automatically disable billing for a project if it exceeds the limits though

> Tesla are producing cyber cabs now which are 10th the price of Waymo's and can drive autonomously anywhere in the world.

My understanding is that cyber cabs still need safety drivers to operate, is that not the case?

"plenty of corporations much larger than Google"?

Google is the third largest company by market cap in the world. I suppose by "much larger" you mean number of employees? Walmart maybe?

I doubt there's many out there using slack

I checked and it doesn't look like any UK banks have this option - at least I looked at about 5 different banks websites and all have pages suggesting you always select to pay in local currency but none of them have any information on disabling this behaviour

Gemini confirms it's not a thing, and not really possible (the terminals just detect the country from the card number)

Seems like every time it gets shut down it starts right back up again

This source claims it's Breach forums but no idea if it's reliable

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/newsletter-pl...

>I'm fairly sure even mentioning the name of the forum isn't allowed on HN

Well let's find out

I did a tiny bit of research, pretty sure it's BreachForums (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BreachForums)

Trello was a successful product despite having way less than 20% of jira's features

If I'm an employee working in the X office in France, and the police come in and show me they have a warrant for all the computers in the building and tell me to unlock the laptop, I'm probably going to do that, no matter what musk thinks

Note that it doesn't deny that it's _any safer_. It says it's still not safe

These are not the same thing

It's likely safer but not meaningfully enough to make much difference, as it's still obviously very bad for you

> Especially when LLMs are used for scientific work I’d expect this to be used to make at least LLM chats replicable.

Pretty sure LLM inference is not deterministic, even with temperature 0 - maybe if run on the same graphics card but not on clusters

The conflict of interests here is the conflict between musks interests and the other shareholders interests

> (Thankfully temporarily free on opencode)

they paid $0, it's all VC money printing for now

> child pedestrian injury rate at ~2-4x higher than the US human average.

If this incident had happened with a human driven vehicle would it even have been reported?

I don't know exactly what a 6mph collision looks like but I think it's likely the child had nothing more than some bruises and if a human has done it they would have just said sorry, made sure they were ok, and left

in many tech companies they are, an IC6 is paid the same or similar to an M6

The difference is there will probably be a lot more M7+ than IC7+ so getting to the higher ranks is easier as a manager

It's been a bit like the boiling frog analogy for me

I started by copy pasting more and more stuff in chatgpt. Then using more and more in-IDE prompting, then more and more agent tools (Claude etc). And suddenly I realise I barely hand code anymore

For sure there's still a place for manual coding, especially schemas/queries or other fiddly things where a tiny mistake gets amplified, but the vast majority of "basic work" is now just prompting, and honestly the code quality is _better_ that it was before, all kinds of refactors I didn't think about or couldn't be bothered with have almost automatically

And people still call them stochastic parrots

Isn't that the entire point of congress? Otherwise why not just have an all powerful president and do away with the houses

Is LLM a technology? Are you complaining about the use of AI to mean LLM? Because I think that ship has sailed

How can I access cubic's wiki for a repo?

As long as you can always swap your battery again I don't see the problem

As long as the average battery health in the system is like 90% and the minimum is say 80% why would you care if you're getting a new battery every few days?

If anything it removes a big cause of depreciation from your car

I'm a fan of the roborock S8 (now the S10 i guess)

It's a vacuum + mop combo which imo is way better for hard floors

> including the way snow doesn't just immediately turn off but stops falling slowly. I love it.

Funny, i disliked this exact detail. I thought turning it off hadn't worked for a few seconds and i retoggled it on and off a bunch of times before i got it

I was quoting the caption in one of the images at the top, not the article itself

"The cave is full of hydrogen sulphide gas in too high concentrations for most animals to survive"

Over a shot of a bunch of people walking around with no masks on?

Imo they should have just clawed 1 or 2 bits out of the ipv4 header for additional routing and called it good enough
