I’m not at all optimistic about the US making the significant infrastructure investments required to make this happen. Some places still have coin-op parking meters. Like many other things, it’ll benefit the wealthiest class first, then maybe trickle down to those without private garages over the next few decades. It could also go the way of the laundromat, where those without private garages just have to go sit and wait an hour or whatever to charge their car up once or twice per week.
It’s definitely interesting. I’m torn between suggesting features and wanting it to stay simple. My worry is it will stay as it is and be a series of people with one follower but full contact discovery would be tricky without making it icky.

Will keep an eye on it.
Instant replay: Debugging C and C++ programs with rr
I'm not sure I understand a use case for lossless reverse HTML import. TeXmacs can import HTML (e.g. Wikipedia pages) including proper recovery of mathematical formulas from MathJaX or MathML. TeXmacs can export HTML with math in MathML (since 2005), MathJaX or images according to user preferences. The exported HTML human-readable (although with some CSS here and there) like the LaTeX export (who say the contrary has visibly never used TeXmacs, at least recently). You can check the quality of the HTML export by looking at TeXmacs website (https://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/home/welcome.en.html) and at the blog (https://texmacs.github.io/notes/docs/main.html) or also at this other blog (https://plopezadeva.com) or at the webpage of Joris van der Hoeven, the main developer (http://www.texmacs.org/joris/main/joris.html). Comments and suggestions for improvements are welcome. TeXmacs do not use UTF-8 (or any other Unicode encoding) internally but support an arbitrary, extensible encoding (much like Unicode) which can be converted to Unicode without problems. The reason is simple: TeXmacs was initiated before Unicode was widely supported (~1998). Even in current times we see few reason to move to Unicode, all the TeXmacs internals are independent from external libraries or tools. It was properly working in ~1999, it works now and it will work as long as a minimal C++ compiler works.
> What it really demonstrates is that much of literature has less behind it than was previously supposed.

I'm uncomfortable with this statement because GPT-3 is in a sense copying or sourcing a massive corpus of human literature to use as the paint on its brush. If it can make a sentence that sounds Shakespearean after performing a statistical analysis of all sentences ever written by Shakespeare and using fancy averages and weightings of those sentences, how does that diminish the value of Shakespeare? In a wider sense, isn't that what's happening, but instead of using every sentence written by Shakespeare the goal is to use every sentence ever written?

That said, how GPT-3 and its descendants affect the market value of "literature" is... sorry I can't resist... a story yet to be written.
Interestingly I’ve always worked in teams that were either fully remote or had at least a few remote workers. So I’m not sure how much more efficient we could have been but I feel like it didn’t bother us much.

Agreed.
Many psychiatric disorders are a function of personal experience and of collective experience of the person.
Whilst I'd welcome more objective and quantitative assessment tools, it feels like blood tests won't ever tell you if a person is depressed. They might suggest a level of inflammation or endocrine stress, and that's a great help, but not equivalent.
Nothing wrong with having an opinion on how it will turn out. However I believe it's worth considering the following: people with a track record of creating or seeing a lot of value where others see stupidity are worth taking seriously. It doesn't mean they are right, but it probably means they shouldn't be dismissed out of hand.
You could also try "Digital Minimalism" by Cal Newport. Seems just right for this.
Ask HN: Fuel cells or battery electric for vehicles?
Context: I don't own shares in VW or Tesla.

Today, I read an advert for the new Toyota Mirai. I was impressed with the 650 km range and 5 min refueling time. Turns out, this car is powered by hydrogen fuel cells.

Could someone on HN shed some light on the benefits of the battery electric strategy that VW [1] and Tesla are betting on?

5 minutes charging for a 650 km range seems like a very compelling argument for fuel cells!

It depends on if you think writing ability is more like the top graph, or the bottom graph. If it's like the top graph, humans have plenty of time to adopt AI tools, and incorporate them into the writing process.

If it's like the bottom graph, then GPT-4 comes out in 12 months and is human equivalent, and GPT-5 comes out a year after that and is a better writer than any human could hope to be.

Offering to sell someone C4 who is seeking explosives for a concrete plan, and then arresting him after he purchases (which is what happened) is not anywhere close to entrapment.

But anyway I agree that a few arrests a year like this are not worth the surveillance.
Interesting.

You actually need to provide some document proving you are charitable. This is the criteria catalogue:

Focused on acting in the public interest: Whether in support of education or health, the environment or human rights, members of the community work for the good of humankind and/or the preservation of the planet and do not promote discrimination or bigotry.
Non-profit making/non-profit-focused entities: While many NGOs and ONGs engage in commercial activities or generate revenue in support of their missions, members of the community do not recognize profits or retain earnings.

Limited government influence: Recognizing that many NGO and ONG organizations have important interactions with government, not least for reasons of funding (which may include receipt of some government funding in support of their programs) members of the community decide their own policies, direct their own activities and are independent of direct government or political control.

Independent actors: Members of the community should not be political parties nor should be a part of any government. Participation in the work of a NGO/ONG is voluntary.

Active Organizations: Members of the community are actively pursuing their missions on a regular basis.

Structured: Members of the community, whether large or small, operate in a structured manner (e.g., under bylaws, codes of conduct, organizational standards, or other governance structures.)

Lawful: Members of the .NGO and .ONG community act with integrity within the bounds of law.

So in this case it's complex because of the the number of particles in the system, but because you can model each one with known probabilities you can therefore simulate the full system?
This is the exact same problem I have with writing. Whenever I sit down to write - I find that work, notifications, heck the entire machine gets in the way. I've now reverted to pen and paper at least for now. It seems like a great way to get into a flow state - even if antithetical to active changes. At the same time I get to use my fountain pens, so that makes me happy.
A great story, with a solid cliffhanger at the end. And, no paywall.
You may be correct. However, human population will peak in the next couple of decades or so. Combine that with modest future technological advancements and we may easily reach an equilibrium.

And even if not, absent humans ever existing, the destruction of all life on earth is still a statistical certainty due to the fragility of earth.

So, thinking long term again, we're the only shot life as we know it has at outliving this place.

We may destroy earth ourselves before then, but I think the will-they-or-won't-they technological race against time will be more entertaining than if we went back to hunter-gatherer society and waited a few million years for the next asteroid to inevitably end us, no?

Yeah, there are still issues with Haskell and the new Mac architecture. Pandoc and ShellCheck are two of the essential tools affected. In the case of ShellCheck, I just downloaded an x86 binary from the GitHub Releases page and put it in /usr/local/bin. Good enough for the time being.

prowritingaid has a very good, free, web-based tool that will parse out all sorts of neat things in your work. for example: i write fiction and have a real problem with “echos” — words that i repeat within a certain distance of each other — and i even miss them when proofing/editing. pwa is a godsend for this. if scrivener would add their own native version of this (hint hint incase any of you L&L people lurk here.. and it would take ten lines of java that i’d give to you for free) i would be completely covered for a word processor.

on the other side, the desktop version is expensive and needs some ui work badly. they say it’s ai-based, but it feels more like a reason to drm the product than anything. still, the free version is excellent for my limited use scope, so i hope you’d have some luck with it too

the other thing to try and do is find someone that you would use as a language buddy. there’s a subreddit (i forgot the name) where people look to pair with others who are looking for/offering certain language combos, then you get on imessage/whatsapp/whatever and use each other as a language bot. right now i’m looking for someone who speaks mandarin or cantonese and needs someone who speaks english, so if that’s you op, hit me up

A problem with modern psychology is the diagnostic criteria aren't very much based on underlying causes as on being able to reliably diagnose patients based on symptoms regardless of physician. This leads to people agreeing what your diagnosis is without a strong or particularly useful set of understanding of what caused it or a specific treatment to change those causes (which is why so many people are on SSRIs). Historically there just wasn't much to go on when it came to determining underlying causes but neuroscience is catching up with understanding much more about how brains actually work.

The point is "depression" or "PTSD" probably don't exist among many others. There are perhaps dozens or hundreds of unique conditions currently lumped together because they present in vaguely similar ways - the good news is that we are making progress towards much more arguably "real" understandings, the bad news is we're still quite far away from diagnosing mental conditions with the same specificity we can diagnose cancers or viruses.

Oh totally. I'm more sure than not that something like an open source code morphing software could be made more secure against side channel attacks with greater flexibility than is afforded micro code updates.

I'm mainly saying that it's a problem space that both has actively shipping implemetnations (Nvidia Denver), has new levels of cache which affect performance based on previous codeflows, and hasn't been fully explored publicly AFAIK. There's probs some dragons in there in at least the pre spectre versions of that software.
I bought an ubuntu phone. The phone was nice, but it lacked apps, and the apps were pretty much all web based - so the map app wouldn't even load without an internet connection - pretty useless in a foreign country.

Naaa, look at what we achieved in a couple hundred years.. And the rate and scale of our "successes" keep increasing (exponentially?). Give us another couple hundred years and I'm sure no fossils (or anything else) will be found.

But I think gp meant the end of the world as the end of survivable conditions for humans. Nobody cares if the planet is still here after we are gone.

Preparing for such scenario is waste of time, but thinking about it may be interesting. Actual complexity and importance of various infrastructure is interesting.

That's a good point of turning your native language into an asset. The goal of communication is to be well-understood. That's so easy to forget that and strive for something more. Good writing also keeps the readers engaged, maybe entertained, but is there much more to that?
You have identified a goal, which is a great start, and is definitely worth considering. However, I see a few gaps when connecting the dots. At present, there is nothing stopping one vendor from cloning another vendors products and services and marketing them outside of Amazon. So many products these days are just white-label goods made in China and rebranded elsewhere. Also, should the government really be in involved in managing logistics, storing and shipping smartphones and sneakers all over the world? I don't see this as the best use of our tax-dollars.
Death by exponential growth is one of the bad outcomes for humanity, and that's our most likely outcome right now.

But when you mention this, people often reply saying that developed countries tend to grow slower. It doesn't matter. Human population will still add a few billions over the next decades, and our current population level is already unsustainable.

The reason we will perish as a civilization is because of the biggest taboo ever: The philosophical foundation of the Western civilization is the Noahic Covenant, where the Judeochristian God tells man to multiply, fill the Earth and make use of every resource. If the human race is to survive, we need to forget about that, forget about filling the Earth, and forget about making use of every resource and leave nature undisturbed whenever possible.

We need to eliminate the influence of the Noahic Covenant from our culture and our economics, and base our civilization on something that actually makes sense. We will probably have to outlaw religious beliefs, economic theories and other ideas that lead to overpopulation.
> I bet this article itself was written in texmacs and exported to html.

you won. Actually as I wrote in another comment all the TeXmacs website, the blog in which the article appears, the web page of the main developer and some other websites are completely generated within TeXmacs with no assistance whatsoever from external static site generators. The content can be edited directly in TeXmacs and the hyperlinks works connecting the TeXmacs documents, so you can navigate and edit the website from within the program. This workflow has some advantages and some users adopted it for their own blogs (https://plopezadeva.com). If you strive for minimialism (with a touch of style) I can see hardly how you can more minimal. If you do not like the colors you can always change them. The typeface and the colors are defined in CSS, so you can provide those of your likings. For more fancy workflows a user developed a Markdown converted so that he can write his articles in TeXmacs and then use them with Hugo (here the result https://paperwhy.8027.org)

The graphics editor was buggy, but I find quite stable now. Lately it never blow in my face and if a speaker is writing on a blackboard I can essentially copy his drawings.
