I think we're seeing _many_ people's health be raised in the past ~30yrs. Maybe not Americans/Western Europeans but I would venture to guess that _most_ people are now living _healthier_ lives than they were 30 years ago _globally_.

For damn sure "smarter" by any definition of education and intelligent that I could come up with. Sure, maybe not Americans/Western Europeans. Sure. But _globally_ has our education system gotten better and people gotten "smarter"? I think so!

Happier? Oh hell no, I don't think we're _happier_ now.
Stanford research: Natural language AI models are bias-prone
Sarus is designed for all data use cases, provided that access to a given user's information is not the objective. This is the case for all of BI, analytics, or machine learning. It also works for testing or debugging, building APIs, etc. It resonates with organizations' aspiration for the democratization of data.

Differential privacy provides much better protection than data masking, but most importantly, it does not require any manual decision (which column to mask, how, etc.). This is what makes it easy to apply at scale to all datasets in the data warehouse or data lake instead of having dataset per dataset decision making involved.

Differential privacy is used by Apple, Google, Microsoft, or the US Census. When used properly, the data protection it provides does not need to be proven to regulators or security teams anymore. That being said, regulators do not require DP protection per se. They require organizations to put in place the best practices in terms of data governance, data minimization, or data security as a whole. This is part of the answer.
Maybe you need a side project or a vacation or something like that? Do you have some empty hole that you can fill?

Another way to move forward is to suffer a setback and make the most of it (e.g. for one thing you get that hole to fill.) I had a project run into a serious roadblock and after reversing direction I realized that I'd not only retained all the personal development I'd gotten out of the project but that encountering one set of barriers might have liberated me from another set I'd been struggling with.

Not one time in my sentence did I ever mention about Bitcoin. That one has already failed in being 'electronic cash' and it is now used as 'digital gold'. Not its intended purpose. The others that I mentioned have a much better future of being a 'digital cash' technology if used with a stablecoin.

How exactly?

I have just counter argued my points made with real examples and evidence and the only person arguing with emotion are the creators of the 'Welcome to Web 3.0' page. And yes, I can even critique the aforementioned cryptocurrencies since every technology still always has it issues.

But just don't repeat the same arguments that I have just refuted. It is boring and I am only interested in looking for new criticisms. All my earlier points and questions about it being, slow, 'destroying the planet', etc still remain unchallenged.

On a more serious note, anything that's going to affect behavior is going to have a dosage range. Too little absorbed, and there won't be enough effect. Too much, and that will harm / kill people in interesting ways.

With chemical weapons, you only worry about the bio-accumulating enough to kill your enemies. An enemy receiving more than a lethal dose isn't a problem.

>How does having "the moral high ground" help the lower class of a society?

Because real moral does not just affect the rich? Also called being social.
I disagree.

The "innovation" that pervades through our current times is shallow and false. The only substantive innovations we've had in the last couple of decades has been the internet -- and unfortunately its applications have been a net harm on society. I will also say, despite how disagreeable it is, you are part of the problem vis-a-vis "Why we stopped making Einsteins": because your perception of things is not rooted in anything more than self-service and how it affects you -- and not the world at large.

If one were to look at the fruits of academia without any self-deception, it's mostly "scientists" making careers for themselves, and constantly engaging in long-cons, grifting for grant money. And if we include the amount of useless (or even out-right damaging) research that has been published (because, once again the incentives for most science is not love of truth, discovery, or practical application -- but self-service) it will seem like it has done more harm to the human soul than organized religion has in the past.

Millions of people are able to code, and where has that got us?

The questions of the 90s -- how many of them were actually useful, and not simply a distraction from reality?

Ad tech? Search? Phones in your pockets with the ability to magnify and create a hyper-reality better than could possibly ever be experienced in real life? Yes, the list goes on, but I don't consider any of these things to be good. What have they done for the human condition besides atomize and intensify certain things -- while neglecting the rest?

Machines beating people at Go? We've created automatons that can best us at what should be leisurely activities and hobbies -- to what end?

We don't have Einsteins anymore because our culture would not be able to recognize an Einstein until decades past his innovations -- when all the hype and hoopla as died down, and we can look at them detached, and with a cool head and ask ourselves "how much impact has this really made?" (For Einstein, it has been quite large. But I'm certain in 100 years, if we ever wisen, that we'll look back at the things you've listed as appalling detriments, and wonder how could we have been so foolish).

It's not pessimism -- it's just looking at the world without painting one's emotional state over it.
Ok that makes more sense.
TBH I would still boot from a USB stick though. But it makes sense they would implement that, why make ordinary users need to do that. After all, you might need to deploy a security patch these days without user intervention.

> They point to evidence, notably from the Nordic nations, that economies can continue to grow even as carbon emissions start to come down.

This a pretty laughable piece of "evidence" given that the most important export from the Nordic countries is petroleum.

But even if this wasn't the case, you can't talk about global systems on a local scale. There are countries that have continued to reduce fossil fuel growth and continued to increase economic growth, but at the end of the day these are just accounting tricks. The US has seen a bit of this, but we also exported a lot of our energy intensive manufacturing to other countries.

I'm sure someone will point out that some studies have tried to correct for this by measuring the carbon foot print of imports. But these studies are also flawed for several reasons. First the reduced cost of good is China is not only the lower labor cost but all of the other industrial services nearby that allow those goods to be created efficiently. It's very difficult to determine how far up the chain of production you need to go.

The other is that there's never an attempt to account for how much energy/fossil fuels go into the dollars that flood into an economy. If your finance sector is making a lot of money of foreign energy consumption, that counts.

The bottom line is that global consumption of energy has never decreased for any source[0]. We even burn more wood to produce energy than we did when that was one of of the major source of home energy!

We are already hitting the limits to growth, but the reality of that is too terrifying for most people to accept so we end up convincing ourselves that its not happening... while we're watching a war over fossil fuels develop in Europe.

I think the point you're trying to make (maybe) is: aviation autopilots will also lead to disaster if used improperly, but that doesn't imply that they're bad or deficient technology (but rather that they were used improperly).

First, aviation autopilots are a mature, tested, reliable, certified technology and are deployed only under narrow, precisely delineated circumstances by trained professionals (not a beta product tested "in production" by amateurs).

Next, though, you imply that the FSD was used somewhat irresponsibly or improperly here. I fail to see that. He used it as it was supposed to, and when he saw that it was swerving into the pylon, he reacted immediately (within the limits of human reaction time), which was insufficient. How was that improper use?
I think it's not so much the absence of evidence but the desire for more evidence that creates a vulnerability to false rationalizations.

We have lots of evidence about what's going on in Ukraine, or the reality of climate change, but for various reasons people feel a deep hunger for more information on these issues. That hunger drives a the demand side of the market which in turn motivates a supply.

Economically speaking, it's the marginal utility of a new justification for a belief that's important. In competitive idea driven landscapes like politics, VC, war, or crypto white papers there'll likely be an immense economic incentive for new justifications almost regardless of the existing supply.

The main problem with FTS isn't the search indexing component it's actually the HTML content parser.

There are TONS of projects like Elasticsearch or just raw Lucene that will allow you to parse text and index it.

HTML? Not so much...

There are just to many problems

Text ads polluting the extracted text is by far the main issue but there are other issues as well including OCR of images, AJAX paginated pages, lazy loaded images that might need OCR, metadata extraction (when was the page published, who was the author, etc).

There are some projects that take this on but Google just does an amazing job and these secondary tools are pretty limited by comparison.

95% accuracy doesn't help because that 5% usually ends up being 100% of your false positives.
It was developed IIRC by an intern as part of his thesis and included in the microbit tooling on makecode. After this it got more standardized, but they went to a less obvious connector (Kittenbot came with a standard jack) and now they describe a custom plug. This increased the barrier of entrance and building came less appealing to me.

Eleanor Roosevelt was instrumental in blocking the forced repatriation of large numbers of displaced persons to their various home countries that were in the USSR after WW2. A large number of these displaced persons were from the Ukraine(detailed numbers not known) and even though there was a huge effort by the USSR to get these people back, these largely failed and many countries settled them and gave them landed immigrant status. Exceptions were made for war criminals, who also tried to hide. Of those sent to the USSR, many were imprisoned/killed etc. Apologies for political stuff, but the spots on the leopard remain. (nothing against the beautiful leopards either)

> You can try to do this with rpath of $ORIGIN. But then you'll probably still run into libc issues -.-

Linux (g)libc is sort of equivalent to the Win32 API on Windows so you are not expected to ship your own version just like you don't ship your own ntdll, user32, etc. Since glibc has good backwards compatibility the onlye libc issue you will run into is having to compile against the oldest version you want to support.

> Even the basic premise of the article has been essentially strawmaned - comparing states to cities

It doesn't really compare cities to states. It mentions how cities are in states, which we know. It is about how Republicans use crime in cities as a hammer to hit Democratic policies and this data shows that narrative might not reflect reality.

> look at the socioeconomic factors at play in the various locations, etc.

These are also a function of government in some way, so it's hard to add this to the analysis without biasing the data.
The reason I see us continuing to progress is: we have tons of spare intellectual resources. I can't imagine a world where millions of people live in rich countries, who can code, who can read scientific publications, that just stops progressing. Of course the system we've built is constantly evolving, so some things will certainly collapse. E.g. the web will be more and more partitioned - not everything just gets better and better.

But I don't see us stopping to make progress any time soon, far from it, and the network-effects of the various things to come will change the face of the earth to a completely unpredictable degree - every couple decades. 2060 is absolutely unpredictable, letalone 2080 or 2100. Rising sea levels notwithstanding.
> I can't find support for those flags outside of two files

Most of or all of the uses of those M486/M486SX/etc flags are on that file itself. For instance, it sets CONFIG_X86_INVD_BUG whenever either CONFIG_M486SX or CONFIG_M486 is set. It's those other flags that are used elsewhere; as you can see, there are many of them.

> I'm 90% sure the kernel requires CMPXCHG8B which isn't supported on 486 iirc

I believe CMPXCHG8B is CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG64, which as you can see on that file, is not set for M486/M486SX. As you can see searching for that, there is support for CMPXCHG8B emulation (see for instance https://lxr.missinglinkelectronics.com/linux+v5.16/arch/x86/...) on CPUs which do not have that instruction (complete with an use of the "alternatives" mechanism to automatically replaces the emulation calls with the real CMPXCHG8B instruction when it's available on the current CPU).
Big Tech’s Race to Patent Everything
In woodworking, that's a different word. In "english" English, the woodworking word is prononced "raowting", as in "now" or "about"; the business of choosing a route is pronounced "rooting", as in "boot".

In American English, "route" and "about" have the same vowel-sound, which seems unfortunate; I wonder how that happened.

English is a mess, but I hope we don't try to fix it!

You do write beautiful prose here, at least comparing to an average HN comment.

However, organized, coordinated crazy is a problem, even more so when it is sufficiently organized and coordinated to become an effective player in our political system.

Gen-Z is a parody though. Culture parodies itself time and time again. If you can't see that in the trends of the 90s in our own generation, then perhaps you respect generational preferences a bit too much..
It's somewhat true.

Better models are coming out which are already pretrained on a significant amount of data, so the model already learned a lot about what is common to all example of video generation (keeping the edges aligned coherently at every frame, keeping texture and lighting coherent etc.) and will not need to re-learn that for every target.

Since initially, deepfake models were trained from scratch for every single target, you had to provide a lot of data from the person you want to target so that the model can learn what is common as well as what is specific.

Now you can get descent performance with much less data, since you only need to learn the specifities.

However, this only helps if you need a limited deepfake: The model cannot infer the exact facial expression of the target when they are, for example, laughing unless you provided an example of that in the training data (assuming there is no way to infer the laughing expression from someone by looking at other provided expressions). It will instead generate a generic laugh. All missing informations are substituted by what was seen, on average, in the pre-training phase.

That wouldn't work for a long complex deepfake meant to be sent to someone reasonably close with the target.

But for the types of deepfake where it's targeting a personality that we all know, but not very well at all, much less data is neeeded than before for a similar result.
I personally fear the lone-wolf attack drastically reducing in cost and effort. Where it would once be cost-prohibitive to design and manufacture your own nerve gas or lethal virus, these days with AI/ML and Crispr-cas and the like, it feels like any intelligent, deranged person wanting to take as many people to the grave with him has the tools to do just that.
Hmm, I'd like to see more data around that. For example, it's not like there aren't other people around in rural areas, so you certainly could perform a murder. The idea of developing murderous intent just does being exposed to more people seems far fetched to me. Murder isn't really like a crime of opportunity where you pick up some item as you walk by.

Watching some of the videos on your YouTube page [0] gives a much better impression and clarity of what you're trying to do. Particularly this one [1].

The workflow and ease of creating so many features with so few keyboard/mouse commands is intriguing. I understand that you're trying to focus on game asset creation, but since it does do STEP import/export, there's really no reason this can't be used for ID or engineering work, at least at the initial concept level. Don't ignore those markets.

fyi, IQ shredder means social and technological innovation that keeps higher IQ people from reproducing, and hence lowering down of IQ over generations. Nothing to do with distractions and hazards.
This is great information, and we've had similar experiences.

I'm also looking forward to further testing LinuxCN (https://github.com/joyent/linux-live/tree/linuxcn) on Triton in the near future!

But the comparison point helped invent the atomic bomb. It’s done some arguably done some good, it also has some clear downsides.
Yep, same here.

Rocked a Packard Bell 486DX2 66mhz, with 8MB Ram, and a 400MB HDD. Came with a 14,4kbps modem that I upgraded to 33.6kbps. BBSes from the free newspapers is what got me "online" and eventually I was able to PPP over WinSock to get my Windows 3.11 on to the REAL internet.

I miss those times.

Nothing like spending hours downloading a few early MP3s in 94-95, and having to play them back at 1/2 or 1/4 quality because the 486 couldn't keep up (and even then running out of cache 60-70 seconds in and paused for it catch back up).
x2go is the best one so far.
Indeed, track mode allows for different traction control settings, and different front/rear bias (by percentage). Just haven't found something that works particularly well, granted it's more just for fun than anything practical.

"Is there anyone who died in the last decade you could make that sort of claim for?"

Sure, Toni Morrison. Whitney Houston. Prince. Steve Jobs (slightly over a decade). I don't know, the list goes on? There are plenty of culture shifting geniuses among us. It just doesn't look the same as it did in the 19th and early 20th century.
High-quality drivetrains in bicycles can have an overall efficiency of up to 95%, can this system beat that? Of the force that someone puts on the pedals, how much of that drives the rear wheel in the end?
No, we do not. Pysyft was mostly first designed to do federated learning. Sarus targets organizations that have their data in one central repository in a trusted curator model. It lets external data practitioners query that data with all sorts of data jobs (not just ML, but also SQL analysis, and spark soon).
