I’m not sure who “they” are, but I’m pretty sure they’re already doing that, and don’t need me to get the idea. I think it’s important to talk about what LLMs mean for privacy. Profiling every HN user might be a useful tool to are people mo

Sure, everything is ultimately a political problem, but this one is completely driven by technological change. In the USSR (and GDR), it took them a staff of hundreds of thousands of people to write up their reports. Now it would take a sin

Waiting for amber takes 20 seconds. Also it’s not a timeout of some case from repeated use. Have to wait even if it wasn’t used for several minutes beforehand.

You can create named API keys, and easily delete them. Unfortunately you can't seem to put spend limits on specific API keys. If you're not using the API for serious stuff though it's not a big problem, as they moved to pre-p

The $285k was not an estimation of what it costs to run a ship per day. They merely divided $4M by 14. So it was an estimation of how much saving two weeks to go around is worth to the highest bidder, per day.

In Germany, trucks are going at 89 km/h (officiall 80 km/h) and the driver has to take a mandatory break, which is electronically tracked, every 4.5 hours. They have to take a 45 minute break, and the truck charges from 20 to 80 %

They say it can be charged from 20 to 80 % in 30 minutes. As it has a 600 kWh pack, it must charge at > 720 kW (given the megawatt charging system, which has not been finalized).

I learned from a German hands-on video [0] on the Mercedes truck that there’s already a law that allows for up to 90 cm long noses for aerodynamic design [1]. But it seems no manufacturer has a model making use of that yet. I don’t think we

That seems to be for the previous version, not the announced 600 kWh one. edit: information on the new one can be found in the press release [0]: - 600 kWh LFP battery - 500 km range - 400 kW CCS charging - later: megawatt charging, 20 to 8
