It’s a fair question and I find your comment to be an interesting example of resorting to a conspiracy theory because you don’t understand something that’s easily explainable.
The Boeing 737-800 has batteries that power certain things in the event of a dual engine failure, including cabin lighting.
Those same batteries, on 737s manufactured more than about 15 years ago, do not provide backup power to the flight data recorder or cockpit voice recorder.
In the event of power loss, the data and voice recorded have lower priority than cabin lighting?!
And the cherry on top is that this was the case on 737's until ~ 2010?!
Defusing my bullsh!t alarm with a second layer of bullsh.t?
I would swallow it all ad fundum if you can provide HN with reliable links to manuals, procedures, ... describing how electrical energy for the passenger cabin is prioritized over the data and voice flight recorders!
if the parent poster was talking about merely emergency lights being battery powered, and hence main passenger cabin lighting turning off a full 4 minutes before the crash, we go back in a circle and have to explain the apparent absence of passengers texting friends and family about a scary power loss during descent (people would quickly try to figure out if power sockets for their consumer electronics were no longer providing power either and learn from each other that it is the case).
I'm no expert, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's much, MUCH easier to get "non-critical" systems hooked up to new, better equipment as it would undergo far less checks and approvals.
"This is your Captain speaking, we may only have a few minutes to restore power, I am hereby commandeering all your USB cables, we daisy chain them from the passenger cabin to the cockpit" ... ?
I don’t know about that, it’s normal to name a business after the founder. For example JCPenney, Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Disney, Boeing, Wells Fargo. The reference is also quite oblique.
Gillette was also a Utopian Socialist.[16] He published a book titled The Human Drift (1894)[17] which advocated that all industry should be taken over by a single corporation owned by the public, and that everyone in the US should live in a giant city called Metropolis powered by Niagara Falls.
1. If filed by a lawyer, no. The clerk will just issue a summons.
2. In order to compel a person to appear a proceeding, the court must have personal jurisdiction over the person as a defendant, or if the person is a witness and not a defendant, they must be within the subpoena power of the court.
3. The order explains the court’s reasoning on this.
It seems bizarre to me that an assessment of credibility requires in-person contact or that the indie developers could demonstrate the required prejudice that "remote" participation would provide. Or that "remote" means pre-recorded and not real time interactive?
I’m a lawyer and listening to this call was absolutely painful. I like to think I’m a pretty decent negotiator, and agree that there was likely a few million here were this handled competently.
Don’t be afraid to bring people in when something is outside your area of expertise.
Man, I have a totally opposite view about LLMs expressing creator’s values. Not only do they express them, they don’t STOP expressing them to the point of utter annoyance. Any remotely PG topic ends with a safety caveat, e.g., “however, it’s important to consider . . . .”
Those statements don't come from the base model, they come from the steering methods, basically a form of hand tuning after the model is mostly trained, which the paper says are relatively crude and imperfect. It is the fact that these models are so unpredictable that led to these attempts at steering.
Reminds me of the early Bing where you could talk to it for much longer periods of time. You could get it in a state where it would give some terrible reply and then an upper layer would delete that message and be like "oops, didn't mean to say that"
Observational hypothesis based on 5 minutes with the app (and asking it to repeat the prompt it was given):
This does not use any OpenAI service to analyze the image. Rather, it’s using some other image, recognition model to generate a description of the image, feeding that description into chatGPT, and having chatGPT hallucinate other likely details based on that description.
