I think its when software gets 'better' at writing AI-software than humans, and when AI-software is capable of writing an AI-software that is better than itself.

The point being that the quality of AI software has some sort of 'exponential' (maybe not numerically but conceptually due to compounding effects) growth in its quality, and that during this growth it crosses the point where it is better at 'general intelligence' than humans.
They are doing it the right way.

But we should not get ahead of ourselves, let's wait for them to fully self-bootstrap 'brutal' with their toolchain.
No, because at n=3 the the judge will say “if you file another one of these, I’ll fine you $1,000,000, and Sundar better be here at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow so I can explain it to him personally.”

Courts and judges aren’t something to be truffled with.

Serverless Inc. makes a similar attempt for this: https://www.serverless.com/cloud
Interesting read, but I think it exemplifies some of the problems people currently have with Serverless development. For the main population of people here on HN that have experience with deploying applications, this will seem like a lot of learning and effort to recreate an already positive experience they with whatever framework/setup they currently use to build applications. For new developers, it is now a mountain of tools and services they must learn, which takes away one of the selling points of Serverless as an easy paradigm to learn and start building apps on (hence the selling point of not needing to worry about how to setup servers).

With all that said, I am working on building a framework that I would describe to the crowd here as Django for Serverless. It is in early stages but you can check it out at https://staging.cdevframework.io/. One of the main focuses is to make it easier to write code that is not dependent on running on a Functions as a Service (FaaS) model, so that your code can eventually be bundled up and deployed on a traditional server when a FaaS platform becomes uneconomical.
Data-execution exploits mean that you may accidentally run code you weren't expecting to.
If you have any kind of message parser taking input from an external system and examining it, you may be vulnerable to these types of exploits without realising it.

Having the ability to mark (for example) your stack as non-executable is a simple change that can remove a whole class of problems.

That is only the skimming the surface tho.
when machines can beat us at all "games"
When generally intelligent machines have been improving the intelligence and capabilities of intelligent machines for a while, presumably better and faster than humans could.

I’m open to the idea that this might not make technology or society completely incomprehensible, or incomprehensible over a short period of time.

I’d expect the world to become increasingly surprising and confusing as we approach the time when machine intelligence is developed, but a successful, safe advent of machine intelligence might conserve enough of the fabric of society that humans can understand it. I’d expect dramatic and explosive developments to be more associated with borderline or unsafe (heaven forbid) AI that ends up doing its own thing.

This is still all in the realm of philosophy, so it would be very surprising if we were able to predict the details.
Guess who was of Syrian descent as well?
Of course, Android moving from a build system called Soong will mean they lose the best possible name for their build system.

> Then there were dumb plans to make Firefox interesting (I think? What else were they doing?) like the idea of "colourways" being available for a limited time only, which was simply preposterous.

Nothing about this—the feature, and especially how they publicized it—made sense to me at first. Themes? OK, old feature, nothing to get excited about and I didn't even know they'd removed it in the first place, but sure. Limited time? Uh, what? Big announcement and interrupt my browsing session with a big ad? For a feature that wouldn't have been novel 25 years ago? None of it made sense.

... until they did the Disney tie-in colorway, at which point it all made sense. The original push must have been to generate "engagement" stats to show to potential advertisers, using a media push and user experience similar to what one would see for a paid advertising colorway.

Hi - it's a biggish topic here because of the popular depiction in social media / legacy media.

For instance:

- Twitter search for "kid bad at math": https://twitter.com/search?q=kid%20bad%20at%20math%20lang%3A...

- Reddit search for "kid bad at math": https://www.reddit.com/search/?q=kid%20bad%20at%20math

- TV Trope for "Everybody hates mathematics: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EverybodyHatesMa...

- US State level curriculum guidelines: https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED535222.pdf

As for it's not matched for other topics is because it's not a necessary topic for high school. Generally a US high school math student will see:

- Algebra 1

- Geometry

- Algebra 2

- Trigonometry

- Pre-Calculus

- Calculus (maybe, for a select few)

So there's lots of places for someone to trip up.

For general science leading into physics / biology / chemistry, etc - these are more upper level / final courses, so there aren't as many places where someone could trip up.

My (very hazy) understanding of the UK is that you have GCSEs and A Levels. So some people opt-out of some of the above classes way before they meet them whereas in the states, more people have to see them.

(For instance, in NYC to __graduate__ a student would need 6 credits in math, including: At least 2 credits in advanced math (for example, Geometry or Algebra II).
To be fair, a lot of these news sites instaplay videos and make it really annoying to actually read the text. Why reward that kind of behavior with ad revenue?

The suggested solution https://github.com/Onelinerhub/onelinerhub/blob/34467e427cc6... still runs out of memory with many files.

I believe the original intention behind using mode="a" was to append to the output file while reading the input files at the same time. This way, there is no need for an ever-growing string array.

But there are still many other issues like using default platform string encoding instead of detecting it properly or at least using utf-8, checking for ".txt" anywhere in the path instead of at the end, and not closing the input files with a context manager like the output file, which suggests that this code is just pierced together from various sources.

A robust solution would require many more lines.
I heard about this, apparently the owner also devised a scheme that paid his employees so poorly he was able to get the federal government to subsidize his workers food using programs originally designed for the unemployed and disabled persons. To perfect his fraud he expanded his book store to include groceries so that he could profit on the government subsidies directly by having his employees buy their food from him.

A silly motivation. Smaller-scale businesses on the "convenience store" model are more likely to provide extended opening hours than any large store operation. That's as close to "Mom & Pop" as it gets.

Wow, this is a great resource! I’ve been dealing with a lot of these issues with a JS sandbox library I’m building quickjs-emecripten. I want to offer a ton of different build variants of my core WASM file. Here’s what I tried: https://github.com/justjake/quickjs-emscripten/blob/master/t...

This approach works great for NodeJS, but once I ran a test bundle I found that Webpack (and bundlephobia) included all the base64 “release” variants instead of lazy-loading the import statements. Bummer. I assumed this because Typescript on its own compiled import to Promise.resolve(require(…)), so it’s good to know that most bundlers will STILL get this wrong even if I’m emitting ES6 module import syntax. Yikes! I need to bite the bullet and start using Rollup to emit a slew of separate entry points. Oy veh.

Anyways A+++ would read again. This will save me 4-5 days of work stubbing my toe on bundlers and build system which is the Least Fun part of JS work.
Talking about Pocket... do you remember how more than five years Mozilla promised to make it open source? Five years and this proprietary service is still integrated with Firefox.
It depends on your workplace. It should be no issue almost every time but some companies are not very nice. You could ask your company but you it should be written on some papers you signed of your company is not nice.
"You should try and spend your time in ways that will benefit you and your employer."

This doesn't mean to work 4h a day on a 40h week contract and playing gets.the rest of it.

And I think people doing that, are blocking their own carriers.

I make double what I made 6 years ago and can cut back to 50% with a still good salary.

If I would not have used my te properly I would be stuck in a job I probably don't like because I'm not really contributing or really feeling appreciated because for what?

Is my boss happy enough with me can't feel good.

Getting kudos because your stuff makes it easier for others or adds value or runs smoothly gives confidence and pride.

At least I like my work and tx to my attitude and skills I have more freedom not less.
I have a degree in the subject matter and I also run QNX so I know how it works and am well aware of what the trade-offs are, thanks. Before I even graduated from the university, I used to write lots of code which ran inside of interrupt requests on the Commodore 64 and Commodore Amiga where finishing before the next vertical blank was critical, so you could say that I've dealt with the practical even before I graduated in the theoretical. Not only did the code have to respond within the next vertical blank, ALL of it had to finish by the end of it, else I would have been the laughing stock of the scene. And before you cut in again, yes it was computationally expensive, therefore the code had to be really, really fast to get it all computed in time.

When I write something here, I've already done it, and often on multiple occasions in multiple scenarios at multiple companies, therefore I don't need a lesson.
Wait until the next free trade agreement has America pushing on the other participant as well. Same as they've been doing for their other bunk (copyright & patent rules, etc). ;)
One problem with this argument is of course that what is really expected of you, ultimately, is at least what the other guys are delivering, not just a certain amount of work a week.
But you can only use that excuse so many times before it becomes oddly suspicious.
Costs aside, you're still weighing up "the case", like it's a definite, or that by responding to a legal letter, that it's definitely not. In real life it's neither of those things.

Very few people actually litigate unless they have very strong grounds on well trodden rights. I'm trying to establish any grounds in other comments, but any lawyer looking to litigate this is going to have to warn to their clients that they're not going to win against Goliath. When you're dealing with a family that's just lost its only income, hiring a lawyer is even more unlikely.

And even if Google reads and responds with the best letter, solid reasons, the bulk of a real legal defence, short of some backtracking or a large payoff, there's no reason the devs wouldn't go on to sue.

For a case which would take a junior and a massive pile of existing case law and afternoon to dismiss, I don't see that making a new penpal here helps Google. It might be ten times the amount to read and respond to a letter, but it's twenty times less likely to happen.
I like this idea, but I wonder... if the rules were transparent would it inflate bubbles in areas that would be more likely to have the expected outcome, therefore making them less of a guarantee.
> If we agree that Fox News is unreliable when reporting on Republicans, does it make sense to expect them to be objective in reporting on Democrats? Does it make sense to expect them to be objective in reporting on Ukraine and Russia?

Two things: Reps vs Dems is obviously two sides of the same coin, so I don't think your example works. You probably meant trusting Fox News is objective about sports or medicine or other unrelated topics.

However, I will agree with you it still makes sense that everything Fox News reports on is permeated by their political stance; e.g. there are obvious political aspects to medicine and health (because of enacted policies that happen to be partisan, or touchy topics such as abortion laws, or healthcare, or the myriad of things that are touchy subjects in the US).

But it doesn't matter whether I think Fox News is reliable on any given topic, what matters is: do I think they should be deplatformed in most of the Western world, removed from YouTube and access severely hindered or completely restricted for most of their audience? No, 100% no. It's for me to watch Fox News and decide they are crap. Make it available. Let me decide. Do you want to plaster all over Fox News streams that they are "partially funded by this or that corporation" or "aligned to this or that political party" -- sure, go ahead. But let me watch and decide for myself.

> Does it make sense to expect [Russia Today] to be objective in reporting on Ukraine and Russia?

I don't think they are objective in the case of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and I wouldn't trust them on that subject (still, I'd like to see, unfiltered, what Russian media is saying about it. Not what the West reports that Russian media is saying, which is always filtered). But RT and affiliated channels also reported on Latin America, a subject I know better -- I live there -- and I know for a fact their reporting was good; better than most US media. And it also got blocked/removed.
If that's the mechanism, we should figure out ways of meditating that don't involve charlatans or $60k fake devices (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADE_651).
This is taught in universities in Economics degrees (along with many other misconceptions, as a matter of fact). So it's not at all the case you're saying.
The company I work for is in international logistics (Flexport) so as you can imagine, dates and times are quite important. We have standardized internal time definitions that can represent uncertainty, which were the result of much discussion. I was surprised to learn there are ISO standards for time uncertainty, since I don't recall this ever coming up.

This level of uncertainty would, I think, have too much flexibility for lots of normal business code. There is always an inherent tradeoff when writing code for use cases capturing real-world events between perfect fidelity of your model and coding ergonomics. Things about the real world are not known with perfect certainty, but if you can't capture them with discrete types (for example, CAR_STARTED vs. [Probability of CAR_STARTED = 99.9%, Probability of START_SENSOR_MALFUNCTION = 0.1%]), your downstream logic will be a huge mess. It can be cheaper to handle rare issues caused by lack of fidelity with business processes. Our time notion does not have as many degrees of freedom as this standard.
When I was young, the only places open on Sundays were grocery stores and gas stations.
Kudos, then, I try and fail at being the parent I want more often than I care to admit.

What ever makes our children human beings able to show compassion with others, and stay safe as soon as they have to live their lives on their own feet, is good parenting. Everything else is secondary. Same as the most important thing with new born toddlers is "are they healthy?".
Haha that was plausible if I wouldn't see any other dozens of mattresses on there.

Point being - such a horrible UX
This looks great. In my own book cataloguing system I use an ad-hoc notation for uncertainties. Yours is far superior. I would recommend contacting the Internet Archive, since this problem comes up a lot in cataloguing when estimating publication dates and author bith/death (IA digitize & catalogue zillions of books as well as websites btw).
I definitely get a libertarian feel from people on Hacker News, but not an isolationist one. Also it does seem like a strange move to pigeonhole and insult the group of people with whom you're trying to interact.
Once upon a time, I cranked up the Empirion remix of Firestarter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lEtgbT8v4k in my early 20's car with its low-key boombox while flying down a highway with my non-techno-appreciating friend in the car and I got to see the light go on in his face when he finally "got" it

And then what is invariably the next question: "Is... is there any other music like this?"

One instance takes roughly 1,000 players, but if you as a player decide to just keep playing, then we won't kick you out of the game for some hours. Some percentage of players will just continue playing as long as possible without matchmaking or map transfers.

> The standard multi ranked map sometimes feels boring and I've wondered why they don't add different types of maps to the mix; spheres, tubes, different physics, goals in the center, figure 8 map(?), embankments (like map in season 1), etc.

They tried. Wasteland, Neo Tokyo, and Starbase ARC were non-standard maps. Players complained about it, and now they are changed to be standard.
Paying for universal education, health care, and basic income via taxation is not totalitarian. With sensible regulation all of these can be accomplished without giving up on the free market. That is, the free market as understood by Keynes, not necessarily by Ayn Rand.

If you take an extremist definition of the free market, where healthcare mandates equal socialism and taxation equals theft, then yeah, that version of the free market doesn't work. (Where "work" means having leading to the general benefit to society as a whole.) Believing that any economic regulation is incompatible with a free market is equivalent to believing that any law is incompatible with freedom. Just as anarchy won't lead to freedom, a complete absence of economic regulation will not lead to a free market.
I am thankful to you for highlighting this part of the long paper. That completely wrong assertion (the input to sort is infile, nothing more, nothing less) casts the rest of the content in doubt (at least it does to me).
> To me, if you pay back your debt, you are dept-free.

Graber's point is primarily about foreign holders of US debt and how this is the American empire extracting tribute from its vassals. Whether America is debt-free or not really relevant.
A thing that can understand "sphere of radius R has its bottom at center of box.top" is exactly a constraint solver, so I'm not sure what you mean by saying it's not necessary for that to work. You have constrained R, and the location of a particular point, and the free parameter - the center point of the sphere - must be calculated from those constraints. And if you don't want the sphere to be exactly in the center? Suddenly you have only constrained 1 out of the 3 axes of the centerpoint, and will need additional constraints to disambiguate the shape. Or what if you want to fix the centerpoint and have the radius vary?
I feel like the cognitive load here is just different, not worse.

Dev environments in traditional shops are usually a PITA and only really resemble production. We’re all just used to it. This model is different but once you’re used to it, must be quite a joy. The main drawback seems to be developing against real services (rather than emulated) is slower, but that seems like a worthwhile trade off IMO.

Maybe. Not right now, I think. Not much of a point, as long as I'm the one doing most of the work.

The kernel is available now as a separate library though, that can be used independently. If it attracts its own set of users and contributors, it might make sense to have a separate website and repository.
