It's more that the bar is extremely high, but yes, prior restraint on speech is not impossible. There has to be a direct through-line from the speech itself to probable irreparable harm to the beneficiary of the restraint.

"Dear mobsters, this is the address where the FBI has sequestered a witness" is around the place the bar is.

"That report might be defamatory to a corporation because we can argue it is untrue" is nowhere near the bar (truth is an affirmative defense, and the possible harm is reconcilable in law via monetary compensation and damages).
I agree that reviewing code is much much harder than writing something that works. Hasn't anyone here written what they thought was a smart, compact solution or feature, only to have it ripped to shreds during a code review?

I have worked in large decade-old codebases and sometimes the code is truly puzzling. Usually, an old-timer helps out when you run into a block and explains design decisions taken by people who moved on. This is the crucial factor that determines how long a task takes. A task could be resolved in a few hours with the help of a senior engineer, which otherwise could take days to weeks.

All said, I think simply generating the code will not be enough to replace programmers. Now, if an AI can generate code AND explain queries about logic, syntax, etc, the game is over.
Hell, not even the pros.

My work laptop is a 2019 i7 MBP, it struggles with my 4k monitor regardless of scaling. I bought the cheapest mac mini last year to see what the M1 fuss was about, and it has no problem with the 4k screen, even with scaling.

Other OS's? Windows is passable until you start transitioning in and out of full screen. Linux...
I think you may be confusing "blockchain" with "bitcoin".

A blockchain is just blocks of data linked together using hash functions to guarantee the authenticity of previous blocks. There's no mining, and only a tiny amount of electricity used.

I crossed that age and I can tell you without much thinking: focus on sleep quality. It's reason number one for your feeling like shit most of the time, and you need better sleep as you get older.

Second, learn how to prioritise what you do in your free time. Too many side projects? Ditch some. You should have got a hint about what you really like by now and it's time to focus on that.

As for the clubs, bars etc: I feel you, but it's normal, you will find equally exciting places where to spend time with people. Your life is over only when you convince yourself that it is.
Particularly, their Tech category has a few YouTubers I regularly watch.
> but it feels like AI is an especially strong instance of this. It seems like a lot of folks just want to pooh pooh any possible outcome. I'm not sure why this is.

I presume the amount of hype AI research has been getting for the past 4 decades might be at least part of the reason. I also think AI is terribly named. We are assigning “intelligence” to basically a statistical inference model before philosophers and psychologists have even figured out what “intelligence” is (at least in a non-racist way).

I know that both the quality and (especially) the quantity of inference done with machine learning algorithms is really impressive indeed. But when people are advocating AI research as a step towards some “artificial general intelligence” people (rightly) will raise questions and start poohing you down.
Little diod light can be even cheaper and bright enough.
I agree with both you and GP. Doing heavy stats work in base is pointlessly painful.

Frankly asking a computer to write code is like asking a dog to speak facts in straight zfc. What else can I say, ai research has conspired to take over all other areas of computer science. I wonder who exactly started this hype. Also what else will come after this the stupid ai craze.
500k?! Wait what? You should work on some gratitude. Volunteer at a homeless shelter or old folks home or church. Scientifically proven to brighten your outlook and I suspect get you some perspective. Quit thinking about yourself so much. Honestly I find your post a little whiney. My personal advice, and what worked for me more than once, is just say "yes" to most everything. It gives you the exposure you need stimulate your brain and get out of a funk. Oh, and if you're a phone/ fakebook/doomscroller type stop that like yesterday. You won the world being born lottery. Don't waste it.
> I get a chuckle out of colleagues who ask for copious RAM today, and while I'll usually show them where they can put money to do what they actually need better, this kitchen analogy suffices for most of their use cases:

Industry dependent, of course. Desktop processers are getting more and more parallel, and more cores requires more ram. I have a 32 core Threadripper in my workstation with 128GB RAM, and on full compiles I still OOM. My next upgrade to this machine will be 192GB.
> Imagine becoming a felon because the police searched your phone and found a discussion between you and your friend about buying LSD, and discovering that the legal basis for that search was that your phone was in the vicinity of a crime scene a couple of years ago.

I fail to understand what's wrong with that.
If you did commit a felony, should you not be prosecuted for it regardless on how it came to light?

(Now there is the question whether buying LSD should really be a felony, but that's a different problem entirely)
People in Soviet Union (and in Russia, still) have to carry an internal passport (distinct from the regular passport, that is called smth like "foreign-travel passport" in Russian). The cops can legally stop you on the street and ask for ID. If you don't present your internal passport (or similar), they may take you to the police station "to determine your identity" at their discretion. Happened to me personally with an expired internal passport on my literal birthday that it expired on, I was about to go to a police station cause I didn't have much cash on me for a bribe, but they decided to let me go because hey, it's my birthday.

Vaccine cards (I am vaccinated and boosted and would have done it based on my own decision making) feel significantly similar to me. As in Russia, when dealing with totalitarian aspects of government, I find it easier to just comply, but if I had more free time on my hands I would refuse to show the card on principle. Needless to say politicians advocating for these would never get my vote...

I'm sorry but I have to disagree. The best handled game system was undisputably the Nec PC-engine GT (was called Nec GT turbo in my country) -> https://www.google.com/search?q=nec+gt+turbo
> Geographical tradition favors lat, lon.

Geographical tradition and the English language. If you say "longitude and latitude", it sounds off, like "white and black" rather than "black and white".

> There's some consensus growing around longitude, latitude

Naturally, some dweebs trying to "fix" things get it backwards.
The Number 2 can move to a low cost of living place. Plenty of small towns around the world and even in the US where 500k will set you up with housing security and free time to do yoga, clean living, therapy, and child-rearing.

Why people don’t consider this option seriously is a different consideration entirely.

I’ve been biking for over 30 years. I’ve broken a helmet in a fall. I know how to fall.

ALWAYS WEAR A HELMET! It very well may save your life. Many crashes happen much too fast for you to react to.

It’s like a seatbelt or airbag in a car. Useless 99.9999% of the time. But when they’re needed they can dramatically improve your chances of survival.
Europe: The end of the privacy of digital correspondence
People like Tom Brady are extremely rare exceptions though, at the far, far end of the spectrum. In most competitive sports, player hit their peak relatively young, in most cases before they turn 35. This doesn't mean getting older necessarily makes one worse, but it definitely increases things like recovery times, chance of injury, etc. that tend to have that combined effect.
Comma Three by Comma.AI

Reduced my engaged driving time by like 90%. Coming from a history of <$1k vehicles, it’s amazing IMO that most of my trips to and from places now consist of me setting the cruise speed (even in midtown) and letting my vehicle worry about stop and go traffic. Could not recommend enough.
The famfamfam silk icons set is a blast from the past. I can't believe it's still up. I used to use these for everything when I was a teenager.
I've been actually considering multiple CAD options to design a keyboard... pretty cool to see that you did so!
Thanks for the good example. The first time I tried OpenAI's assistant (before I had access to GitHub CoPilot) I wrote a comment in Javascript code that read something like "perform SPARQL query to find out where Bill Gates works" and code was generated using an appropriate library, the SPARQL (like SQL) query was correct, and the code worked. Blew my mind.

That's true of any career.

Sounds a little like either burnout or depression could be at play here mate. I'd suggest three things; A) work on your physical health. You're in your 30s and can absolutely be much fitter and healthier than you were in your 20s. B) consider taking time out of work and using your savings to do some cool things you've wanted to do for a while - maybe travel in Europe, spend your summer surfing and winter snowboarding or something. C) speak to a therepist and check your mental health is in tip top shape. It can have a really good effect to speak this stuff out to someone and reflect on causes.

Whatever you decide, wish you the best. 35 isn't old.
Gotta agree, that part was weird.

I was thinking over a really long time period. There is at least 20-30 more years of general purpose programming being a highly sought after skill. But with time most programming is going to be done by AI that is directed by domain experts.

It’s a shit show for most any straight man. Dating is something you’ll have to relegate to the old real world as a straight man. Too many straight men on dating apps. The apps know how to drain men of their money.

Better to try real life methods - even though they are incredibly difficult and resoundingly terrible overall too. The most difficult part could just be getting in front of someone you find attractive - dating apps make it relatively easy to find the attractive ones even if they put them behind a paywall.
I have over 500 commits in Rails and I failed the Shopify coding interview
I've seen friends' pics from iPhone 12s and 13s, and many of them work really well straight out of camera (sooc): the work Apple has done in computational photography is fantastic. I have a Fuji X-T4 and, while it does things and offers a degree of latitude phones clearly don't, and likely never will due to sensor size disparity, the utility of phone cameras and in-camera auto processing keeps going up. The other day a friend went hiking, and an iPhone 13 ("Pro," I believe) automatically correctly exposed for sky, shadow, and people, and did an impressive job with HDR. Remarkable.
I'm curious as to what psychological impacts we receive when a norm is to only express gratitude through a very anonymous and vague upvote. I think what the article explores is how a simple, seemingly meaningless, factor may influence us more than we think and I wonder how design decisions of HN do as well.

So, I'll also break it and say thank you for inspiring me to wonder about this.
Exactly correct. We really don't know if the progress is exponential or like a Sigmoid squashing function. You just changed my opinion, a bit, on this.
You should do some form of aerobic exercise if you're working out for health reasons. Cardiovascular health is important and will make you feel "fitter" on an every day basis.

In my view this type of system will only be usable by Real Computer Scientists and will completely kill off the workaday hacker. Think of all the people who bitterly complain that a C++ compiler does something unexpected under the banner of UB. That crowd cannot cope with a world in which you have to exactly describe your requirements to an AI. It is also analogous to TDD, so all the TDD haters, which is the overwhelming majority of hackers, are toast.
For me, it was elgato key lights air. I can't tell you much more I enjoy spending time in front of my desk, and in my room in general. It's basically daylight during nighttime.
I'm using a 43" 4K TV as a monitor now, and I really like it. It does take some getting use to at first, but with a tiling window manager I can split it up how I like and have the benefit of being able to use the whole screen at once for games and movies. Higher pixel density would be nice, because I still need subpixel text rendering to make the text look nice. But with 8K TVs coming out and getting cheaper, that would make a good combination of workspace size and decent enough pixel density.
All this is does is hurt the local shipyard. Do you think the next buyer of a super yacht is going to build there? Or even smaller yachts now that there's a political limit on the size of ship they can sell.

Also throwing eggs at the boat just makes work for some poor souls who will have to clean it. The boat is designed to withstand the ocean, it can get wet and be washed.

This whole thing is so silly, I'm compelled yet embarrassed to comment.

Improving Output Iterators
Have you looked at DigiKam? It offers directories, tagging (with custom tag hierarchies), deduplication and also face recognition. I think it can do quite a bit more, but I'm not a heavy user, at all. I just use it for keeping track of my modest library and it works great for that.
On Being Broke
When I read parametric CAD I was hoping to see a tool that can automatically assemble full floor plans from just XYZ dimensions. Wiring, plumbing, structure, lighting, insulation, etc. Everything maybe except paint color. It's just another constraint solver, not sure why that doesn't exist yet and why we need to cough up billions in engineering and architecture costs every year.

With a tool that can provide normalized, structured data corresponding to buildings, then for sure we could save on manufacturing too, every wall panel +- the same you could mass produce them. With a clever concept with datacenter-like floating floor you could even change and adapt the rooms (including plumbing) to suit needs without having to rebuild.
> ... I don't think authorities understand is that they think people misbehave when they are anonymous. The trouble is, what they may be about to discover is that it was the anonymity that was the civility, and what is left without it is something altogether more serious.

Considering the scale of funds thrown at think tanks post WWII to brainstorm precisely these types of developments, I'd question that assumption. What is being normalized is precisely the mechanism that will tamper any such outcome.
MPG is useful for apples to apples comparison.

The new vehicle has greater capacity.

Potentially, this can reduce the fuel overhead for travel from the post office to the route start and from the route end back to the post office.

Also potentially, the greater capacity will reduce multiple vehicles serving the same route, e.g. one for regular mail and one or more for parcels.

The important measure is fuel consumption per mailpiece.
Interesting! Perhaps it's the romantic in me, but a hasty translation by a lover (subsequently smuggled through Europe) does seem fascinating. Would you recommend the new translation over the old one? The article you linked does seem to imply that the new translation is at least more accurate:

> Daphne Hardy, the translator of the Urtext, had never before translated a book into English. She was just 21 years old and was forced to work under tremendous time pressure. She was familiar with neither the practices of the Soviet and National Socialist secret police nor the mechanisms of totalitarian states, thus she replaced Bolshevik terminology with British legal concepts and terms, which lent the system a milder and more civilized manifestation.
Inflation, at least due to energy prices, is only just getting started. We're in a commodity supercycle since 2020.
That seems a lot of rationalisation for a situation where a genuine sender on another system sends legitimate mail to a genuine recipient on your system, that mail is not properly delivered, and it's your fault.

There is a reason that collective punishment is considered immoral by civilised cultures. It hurts the innocent and often fails to achieve its original goal anyway.
The model of "go to a new place every four years, build an Olympic village and a bunch of athletic facilities" doesn't work economically. It doesn't make enough money in the short term, and the facilities don't get enough use in the long term to justify it either.

That makes it hard for a city in a free society to want to be the host. The costs are very real but the benefits are elusive. Probably the last time the Olympics were profitable to the host city was the 1984 Los Angeles games and that was because Los Angeles was able to drive a hard bargain because nobody wanted to host the Olympics after the terrorism at the 1972 games.

Some people have suggested we might be better off if the Olympics were held in the same place(s) every year, maybe in Greece.
If you mean complying with requests for deletion, exports of personal data or name updates I suppose that can be handled via email as well. Since it's all manual I would assume you can just update the files and re-generate the site.

The only real problem is verifying the legitimacy of requests. How do you know for sure that an email containing a GDPR request came from the same person that also sent the comments? I guess you could come up with some rules. For example, if the request was signed with the same GPG key as the original comments or if a request passes DMARC...

I'm curious to hear what the author thinks of that!

Addendum: If you track your website's sources in a public VCS and include comments in there you probably have to run a "filter-branch" (or whatever your VCS has for that) over it to purge PII from the version history.
This. I am 37 now and feel healthier and overall happier than when I was 15, 20 or 25. It really depends.
> I’m not MAD at this guy for scaring me last night.

I feel deeply sad for him.

Our city has let him down.

BUT I AM mad.

I’ll tell you who I’m mad at…

I’m mad at wealthy SF people who live in nice apartments and pretend like the streets aren’t full of homeless people shooting heroin everywhere.

I’m mad at the virtue signaling politicians who only talk about mask policies as if that’s the biggest problem this city faces.

This guy was the one who let the homeless person down. He shouldn't have ran, he should have stopped and became friends with this homeless person, inviting him in and offering a couch to sleep on, a warm meal, and a shower. This guy is projecting/virtue signaling and not taking responsibility for this homeless persons situation but blames everyone else and attempts to display some higher moral status but in reality is the problem himself. Hopefully that homeless person gets another chance too run into this guy so he gets a chance to make things right.
I always wonder who benefits from the extremism.
“There’s no point in acting surprised about it. All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display at your local planning department in Alpha Centauri for 50 of your Earth years, so you’ve had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it’s far too late to start making a fuss about it now. … What do you mean you’ve never been to Alpha Centauri? Oh, for heaven’s sake, mankind, it’s only four light years away, you know. I’m sorry, but if you can’t be bothered to take an interest in local affairs, that’s your own lookout. Energize the demolition beams.”
Nothing good has happened after central banking was established either. It's been one financial crisis after another.

Also fun fact - back when the US had private currencies, people WILLINGLY preferred to use them despite a gov currency existing. It is only after the government passed high taxes on these currencies(ie having to pay tax for each transaction to exchange them) that they went out of favor. If they were really so terrible, why did the gov feel the need to kill them?

Central banking is nothing but a power grab. The "it stabilizes the baking system" is nothing but a lie.
Man, I wish dogs could talk.

What OS are you running inside the VM's? I was quite late with upgrading to an SSD, and Windows 10 was unusably slow, while Linux was quite usable. Sure, it still got quite a bit faster with an SSD, but it was far from as life-changing as it was for Windows.
Marketing people love to make false claims, setting crazy expectations. Increased competition encourages these small lies, and sometimes even academic fraud.
