It seems the article was published in 2017, but adding that as a suffix to the submission title would look awkward, I suppose.

> "2029 is the consistent date I have predicted for when an AI will pass a valid Turing test and therefore achieve human levels of intelligence."

Assuming he (and the rest of us) are still around in 7 years, we should be able to congratulate him on being right, or criticise him for not being even close.

I think that a couple more advances like GPT-3 that are focused on conversational interaction would be enough to get us there. Ironically, if E2E encryption for chat apps weren't so common, companies like Facebook and Google would probably have enough data for training such an AI already.

The missing step, though, is probably the ability for an AI to model the world based on input it receives. If you tell an AI that you're an only child, and then a minute later you talk about meeting your brother for lunch tomorrow, it won't pick you up on your inconsistency, whereas a human probably would, because they build a world model from the facts they read and notice the contradiction.

I'm not sure how to train an AI to build world models, but perhaps a manually created corpus of "common sense" could be used to bootstrap some sort of adversarial machine learning process fed with untagged data. That's probably even harder than it sounds, but presumably once someone comes up with some clever way to achieve it, everyone will say it's just applying a simple rule and a lot of statistics, so there's no real intelligence in the AI's conversations.
Ah, that makes sense then.

Presumed they were used literally against tanks. But it makes sense to use against lightweight vehicles that pose somewhat similar threat against infantry.
I think you're turning the question around the wrong way - there are hundreds of thousands of apps and services on the internet that all force you to make an account with their service to use their software, access data you've uploaded to their service, and interact with other users. That's the thing that is a huge hassle and also, increasingly (with web3 and on-chain applications growing in popularity) a huge security problem because of the attack surfaces those services' front ends offer. On Urbit none of this is necessary, because the "account" (i.e. network identity and keys) of your ship is already baked into all your interactions with the network.

As far as the apps having access to cryptographic secrets you store elsewhere on your Urbit ship: the apps are all installed and running on your ship, so just like other software running on a computer you control they can have access to other local data if you intentionally give them permissions, or they can have no access, or they can have access conditional on some additional safeguard. It depends how you write the app. But an app always knows the Urbit identity of the ship it is installed and running on, and that is baked into messages the app sends to other ships.

You also have the ability to spin up 4 billion virtual identities ("moons") per primary identity ("planet"), and it is a standard use case to run an app/service you don't want to interact with the rest of your ship on one of your moons. The main value currently is, if you host a high-traffic groups or distribute a popular app, these would make your primary ship run slow so you stick them on a moon. But the reason Urbit was designed to associate each identity with 4B virtual identities was so that your IoT devices can communicate with the network without having access to your personal computer.
It’s always been strange to me that people ship bullets Willy nilly, my dad buys his yearly supply at once and this last year they delivered them to the wrong address. The people brought them to him but it just seems weird to allow shipping weaponry and not even verifying that it’s delivered to the correct person.

For example, some well known tech companies focus their hiring on people who have graduated varrious highly exclusive institutions. Yet few people get into those schools unless they came from at least somewhat affluent families.

Make sure you offer interviews to people at least whos professional experience appears to justify it, regardless of if they went to a megabucks school.

Doing so can also help the racial diversity of the candidate pool some without introducing any racist criteria simply because it reduced a form of non-racial discrimination that has a high racial correlation.

If this is so then maybe they should reconsider calling it out in their headline? Just saying.

That’s not a “HomeLab”. You can create a Plex Media server with a $249 Nvidia Shield and some low cost USB hard drives.
That's all fine and I don't necessarily take issue with what you're saying, but now we're talking about implementation details.

> but show me what a system like that would look like.

I'm guessing not so much more wacky as the lidar based cars I see driving through my neighborhood. The accident in the original link may well have been caused by an inadequate vision based system (I don't know), but just because an accident happened with a single vision implementation doesn't mean that somehow Lidar/Radar would necessarily be superior. That conclusion, tossed off by the original comment, is just wrong as it stands.

> A human that is parking somewhere ambiguously often gets out of their car to inspect the area with their binocular vision from multiple angles;

In most cases, but not always. I have an old friend that was completely blind in one eye: still legally licensed to drive and successfully navigated the environment better than a lidar/radar/artificial vision system still can. Even in bad weather conditions such as snow and rain (and night). Will that hold true over time? Hard to say, but I'd bet right now that the larger problem is processing the received information regardless of how the information was acquired.

The problem with the original statement is that it reminded me of the line of reasoning that goes, "there are aspects of the world that science has no answer for, therefore God." or "there was an abnormally cold day in spring, therefore no global warming" Tesla hasn't implemented a sufficiently robust visual driving system to avoid running into parked airplanes, therefore Lidar/Radar. It simply doesn't follow. Much more is needed.

Ultimately, to date, the only sufficient input for fully independent driving that we have is vision based. Lidar/Radar may ultimately be superior, but a vision based system is so far the only generally accepted method for driving... even if it is biological vision rather than computer vision.

Especially because they’re slightly unstable at STP and will eventually decay, it’s just slow enough to only be relevant on geologic timescales.

Ask HN: Linux IPv4 and IPv6 ports article
A while ago I read an article that explained IPV4, IPV6 and ports through two students having a conversation in a cafe as they were doing their assignment.

I have lost the link to it and I would really like to visit that against. Does anyone have a link to that article?

Biggest players in significant industries get measured periodically. Those who cross some threshold of those markets get warned. Then if they exceed some higher threshold must be broken up or reduce their share.

The other videos on the channel show a very high pro-Russia bias, so I wouldn't give it a lot of credibility.
A home lab was generally seen as something to experiment with and learn something from. Setting up a Plex server is literally installing one piece of software on anything newer than a Core 2 Duo.

That's going way too far. Lots of tanks around the world still don't have ERA, and ERA doesn't make tanks impervious anyway. You can put a lot of ERA panels on a T-72 but there will always be gaps.
Too bad it triggers Apple's digital assistant.
>> And each day of non-operation cost hundreds of thousands of dollars...

My close relative worked off shore for decades. Sometimes a down large production platform is a MILLION dollars an hour. Flying someone anywhere with a $250,000 part in their hands is nothing. There are entire industries built around "getting things to the rig/platform" faster.
Funny.

In any case, the processes and diligence required are extensive which creates a huge barrier of entry. It creates an environment where it's much easier to go with a company that knows all of your requirements and compliance needs.

Like everyone, these procurement people are probably overworked and would rather pay a bit more to reduce their risk and handholding required. They're more likely to be personally blamed for failure of a new vendor, than one that's been used extensively. The upside is limited for them.

Is this bad? Well... allowing silicon valley to self-drive cars is about my upper tolerance. Space-X is getting there, so they're a good example of what's needed to succeed in that space.
I just linked to same video! I would never have noticed it was word for word! You're right.

My suspicion is the YouTube channel is a content factory, where the guy narrates a published article over whatever military B-roll video they can find. I highly doubt it was reverse.

Still sorta useful. It's nice to see the actual weapon, and I doubt I'd ever normally read the article otherwise.

Pushups arguably _are_ weightlifting, it's just that you're lifting your bodyweight. Pretty similar movement to a bench press, just upside down.

I like lifting "actual" weights more than I like bodyweight because it's extremely easy to quantify your increase in strength. But any kind of weighted exercise is amazingly fun and effective once you get into it.
You're not interested because of the dubbing? Then just switch to subtitles. Or do you not have the patience to put up with subtitles?

Despite what Hollywood would have you believe, there's considerable high-quality content coming out of other countries. I love that Netflix brings that to the U.S., otherwise I'd never know of it or be able to watch it.
Deploying servers and networking is a lot more fun when you can just sit down to Visual Studio Code and write some HCL or Yaml…

And yes I was around before the “cloud” was a thing. I first networked a Mac LC II and PowerMac 6100/60 to play with a Gopher server.
It's like you're purposely misreading what they wrote. Did you miss this part?

> An important thing to remember is that cities/towns/counties often take out debt for spending that will pay off over time.

They are very obviously talking about 'decline' in general at this point, not exclusively rural areas where most people or everyone gets their water from wells.

Hell, just look at the comment they're replying to:

> It seems peculiar to me that there is no standard process for the winding down of city governance when population dwindles.
> maintain a passive voice

surely not? even a newspaper should be striving for an active voice, at least anytime the actor is known!

US is not "set to launch". The US launched the program [1].

One can say the US was "set to launch" this program back in 2021 when the Congress passed the Infrastructure Bill which appropriated the $6 Billion for the task of helping the struggling nuclear power plants [2]. Now the Bill is a law, the money was handed over to the Department of Energy, and the DoE went over the technical details (like the Request for Information), and the program was fully launched.

Great project, but has this been updated in the last 2 years? Apparently, using this build, only a few of the keys actually worked, and that the author was waiting on some parts to try an improved version. Still, a very interesting project, but it would be nice to find out the final result (which escaped cursory exploration of the blog).
Age appropriateness is: that quality by which a topic is delved or addressed at a stage when an individual is most readily going to be receptive to it. To whit: development of sexual appetites, or sensitivity to sexual characteristics/behaviors in post-pubescent individuals that did not exist or have personal precedent pre-puberty.

Look, I'm one of the most sensitive people to legislative generality and ambiguity to attempt to exploit, but this one isn't that tough to connect the dots on.

People are uncomfortable with adult life choices taking center stage in early phases of education. Cis-hetero is not remotely emphasized at that point as anything more than the "historically traditional default by accident of being how biology mechanically works", and even then, adoption, and many other accidents of life can lead to the same awkwardness introduced by other lifestyles or orientations. And that's all okay, but all the more reason to just pass over the tordid messiness of human social relationships in general until at least maybe algebra has a snowball's chance in hell of being absorbed, because at least then the student should be acclimatized to receiving things that seem as arbitrary and pernicious as the awful things we adults foist on each other.

It's not a conspiracy. It's just, trying to deal with matters with the least awkwardness all around.
How and why is that possibly better than saying "the Japanese attacked them at Pearl Harbor"? The passive voice is what enables the omission of the actor.
> tend to agree with GP that cities are an inevitable migration towards efficiency

This is why cities came about in the first place.

It's not the case that all rural areas are subsidized in the way those in the US often are.
Is it extremely important to omit who made the decision?
Do you use FOIAFS to let the NSA do all of your archiving for you? Just post your digital content you want to save along with a unique token, then when you need a copy, FOIAFS automatically issues a FOIA request for all documents the government has with that unique token. It's kind of slow and unreliable, though.

100%. Feasible timing attacks mean we must look at all speculative execution with suspicion. But dang that's a lot of performance to give up.
For what it's worth, Kurzweil's position is that his beloved exponential curves apply perfectly well to renewable and battery technology (price/deployment) so we'll have more than enough energy to solve the problem soon.

I don't know whether there are/aren't any bottlenecks or ceilings that he's not considering, but it would be strange if the exponential curves broke down just before they reached the scale needed to address climate change.
You may not view it that way, but Florida lawmakers do. They've come right out and said that this is punishment. And "poking the eye of the government" is precisely the right guaranteed by first amendment free speech protections. We are explicitly allowed to verbally poke the government without fear that it will poke back.
While a perfectly reasonable point, and one which might benefit other readers, I think it’s worth adding that the article seems fairly clear that it’s demonstrating a proof of concept that can be built upon. I certainly didn’t take it to suggest that I should go write a convoluted setInterval to implement GC in WASM.

Amusingly (to me), I’ve been working on a variety of performance-focused efforts—professionally on directly deliverable tasks, professionally on exploratory spikes for more holistic future improvements, and in pet personal projects. I find myself deliberately writing throwaway code that’s just as painfully suboptimal quite a lot. At worst it helps me quickly iterate on the actual bottleneck without focusing on the things I’m not trying to optimize.

It can be more helpful than that though, when it reveals sometimes unexpected JIT perf characteristics. Sometimes it reveals that a hot loop optimization isn’t going to bear much fruit because the JIT is going to optimize the baseline code better than anything I have in mind. Other times it reveals cases where I see dramatic benefits from an initial JIT pass that vanish because other factors cause a deoptimization.

Granted I think it’s still good to slap a big warning like this on obviously suboptimal code! But I also think people working on performance sensitive code in a dynamic JIT/GC environment should be encouraged to write weird suboptimal throwaway glue code around their perf focal point. You can learn a lot if you’re profiling!
Intel Publishes Open-Source Programmable Services Engine Firmware
You're getting a lot of very bad comments in opposition, which is unfortunate.

A lot of people have no trouble being clear-eyed about the downsides for big cities -- expensive, crowded, lots of traffic, can be hyper-competitive, people are ruder or more indifferent, child unfriendly, more hostility to conservatism/religiosity, etc. -- but get offended when someone is equally clear-eyed about rural areas. I'm guessing that's because they interpret it as "punching down".

There may be more or more serious downsides to rural areas, of course; after all, they are gradually losing people to urban areas, people are voting with their feet. It would be bizarre if that were occurring and there weren't more serious downsides to the rural areas.
If one wishes to maintain continuous employment? Yes.
I don’t see how the two are in any way related to one another. The fact remains that China is building up not only the size of their navy but also their shipbuilding capacity.

If there was a material which could handle the internal stress, sure. That material probably doesn't exist.

Like a balloon exists at STP despite being internally at higher pressure, but balloons also pop. Tempered glass also exists and significantly higher pressure and likewise explodes. Often metal structures will retain some stress (sometimes quite high) after manufacture.

The amount of energy released at some of those other materials if they had the magical property of staying together... would be terrifying if popped.

Probably because they don't see an important business case for it. Like everyone else, Google has limited resources and an enormous laundry list of business priorities around Chrome that involve all sorts of functionality besides IPFS. These include device compatibility, media capabilities, updates to the various HTML/CSS specifications, JavaScript and other automation functionality, etc. Then there's the never-ending list of bugs to be fixed.

You can, of course, try your hand at adding it yourself, or persuade others to add it - the core (Chromium) is open-source, after all. You can also try to assemble a critical mass of customers to persuade Google to add it.

(I'm sure you didn't mean it that way, but this post comes off as somewhat entitled, as though Google is your personal engineering team.)
I wish HN had some kind of labels. I want to filter out web development related posts. I am just bored with the usual "one line of css", "visual code", "icons for web" etc.

> People who are arguing that we should start shifting those boundaries (ie, changing the 'rules' by directly engaging despite them being non-NATO)

That's not a rule, and has never been suggested to be a rule until invoked as an excuse for inaction in this particular crisis, and is, in fact, contrary to the public claims and past actions of NATO as a regional security organization with a mutual defense commitment and not a pure mutual defense organization.
