Could you transcribe the emoji? HN strips them out.

I find it so hard to figure out how close Curiosity is to the peak/ridge of Mt Sharp and whether/when it seems likely to cross over to the other side.

Here is a map: https://science.nasa.gov/mission/msl-curiosity/location-map/

It's nowhere near the peak and is very unlikely to reach it.

I’m aware of the map but I’m unclear on where the peak/ridge is.

The main peak is under the letter "C" in the "Gale Crater" text on that map.

Oh wow, no wonder I never found it; I was always zoomed way too far in.

In what ways is Anthropic different from a hypothetical frontier lab that you would characterize as legitimately safe and ethical?

I'm just a little frustrated they keep going on about how safe and ethical they are for keeping the more advanced capabilities from us. I wish they would wait to make an announcement until they have something to show, rather than this constant almost gloating.

Its existence is possible.

To me it feels more like learning to cook versus learning how to repair ovens and run a farm. Software engineering isn’t about writing code any more than it’s about writing machine code or designing CPUs. It’s about bringing great software into existence.

Or farming before and after agricultural machines. The principles are the same but the ”tactical” stuff are different.

"This is just a common publicity stunt."

"No, it is an exceptional publicity stunt."

Especially weird in this case since it’s such an over the top case of Submarine Marketing.

Submarine marketing?

Supposedly they could fire it seven times a day, and had to soak it in warm oil in between to minimize thermal shock.

Everything reminds me of her

I don’t understand how you can say a smart watch isn’t, on top of all the smart features, also the best watch there is when it comes to keeping time. It keeps perfect time, always, even over DST changes, even when you change time zones. You never even have to set them!

Also your Apple Watch is defective if you have to charge it all night. I’m up to my third, I always wear it while I sleep, I only charge it when I’m getting ready for bed or getting ready in the morning, and the battery never runs out.

There’s keeping time, and then there’s keeping time without me babying it making sure it never dies, but yes having an internet uplink is a very good way to be on time to the second.

I also like the GShock G-LIDE with Bluetooth to set the time from the phones, but then you can put the watch on airplane mode and not worry about it for a few years. It adjusted for DST without uplink by knowing the date and location. It’s got sunrise and sunset without internet too.

What evidence would convince you otherwise?

Session dumps would be nice.
