I've used Ethernet over Power, and it sucks except under ideal conditions. The pre-G.hn versions are quite slow.

G.hn is fast, but all of the G.hn devices I've found seem to use the same chipset (and presumably similar firmware, since the configuration pages have identical options, but different branding), and the chipset seems to buffer a massive amount, which means a single hiccup while using a high-bandwidth application makes the network unusable for a while.

Example: while streaming video over a G.hn adapter, I was running ping. There was a brief hiccup, and then ping times exceeded 20 seconds (!!), finally recovering after a few minutes. I eventually ran a program that ran on devices connected to each side and would reboot the adapter if ping times exceeded 500ms. This made the network far more reliable.

> Some tools started to go that way in the '90s. About 15 years ago the "war on email format" ended with the victory of html, and already this behaviour was widespread - Word and Outlook were already working like that by then.

You're probably right. Copy-pasting styles wasn't quite so annoying with RTF email, and it really only started getting infuriating for me when browsers and web apps started to try to do it.
They do. Most people upgrade when they really don’t need to.
...Car culture is to blame? Suburban culture?

We've had "car culture" and modern suburbs for many many many years, including a very large time period where none of this was an issue. Blaming it on "car culture" is completely off.
> does that not also extend to the government actively protecting that right from those who would seek to infringe on it?

Surely then you'd be ok with me camping on your lawn day and night with a sign to attempt to change your mind? And following you around to grocery stores, restaurants, the gym, your place of worship etc? Obviously your workplace or people whose houses you visit would have no right to kick me out either? The government must protect this infringement upon my free speech, no? I mean, I'm not saying anything illegal so you have to allow it everywhere.

I don't think that's quite true. If you can perfectly encapsulate your compile environment and ensure that you explicitly capture all inputs, then you can store cached artifacts by the hash of their inputs and be confident that you will always build the exact same thing. Of course, at that point we're more talking about nix than *cache.
Reliable, yes. Easy to implement? Not necessarily. If you don't own the property, you might not be allowed to run your own wires. Even if you do own it, some houses make it more difficult/expensive than others to run wires everywhere they need to be (e.g. consider formerly-external walls full of obstructions in an older house). Let's not make the classic HN mistake of assuming everyone's overpaid, able/willing to pay for the privilege of owning the right kind of property. My family does pretty well with a combination of Ethernet, G.hn powerline, and wireless. Then again, we don't subscribe to the Apple groupthink either so MacOS's misbehavior is not an issue for us.
This is the mindset I spoke against. Did you reply to the wrong comment?
I'm not sure it matters if a paperclip maximizer has a goal or just acts like it does.
I don't think Twitter is more like email than Reddit. Twitter is built around increasing engagement via increasing what you see and who you interact with. Which makes sense: it's a centralized platform for speech and it needs to grow its user base and their level of engagement to make money. You need to fight against that system to curate your feed so that you don't ever see something you don't like. I don't think Musk has any brilliant ideas to 10x Twitter's revenue and somehow change this characteristic about it.

Considering that, there are also many different ways you can experience harassment on Twitter. Are these ways solvable with technical solutions? Perhaps. But these are people we're talking about here, not 0s and 1s. You can't solve all people problems with technology. And as parent comments have said, anyone who's been in a position of having to guide a community knows this to be true.
$42 million is a pittance for a man at his level. VCs with a tenth of the risk have taken home more money than that over the years from several deals. He has also been at the company for a very long time. I’d be enraged at a $42 million exit when I’m a child prodigy who has worked his ass off to finally helm one of the most publicly visibly corporations on the planet.
There isn’t one in Europe either.
Tens of millions is only "pretty close to financial security". Wow.

Working on Logic (just hobbyist here) and gaming are the only two activities that I connect my wireless headset via USB C. The latency (because of Bluetooth protocol itself) is too much.

For Zoom calls it doesn't affect me much.
I live in a high rise and it still isn’t an issue. The floors and walls block out almost all wireless signals. I can see a handful of networks but they are all on 1 bar strength. On speed tests I can reasonably get 600mbps on wifi.

Of course, including the CO2 released by the companies manufacturing the components. After all, CO2 release should be fully accounted for. Capturing "far more" - how much exactly is it then?
The revolution is in manufacturing and vertical integration: you have to look at margins. Tesla’s operating margin was 19.2% in Q1, and is apt to rise. Very few other companies even make a profit on their EVs, and none that do are anywhere close to Tesla’s margins, to my knowledge. This means that nominally competitive electric cars aren’t. In principle Tesla could squash its pure EV competitors by selling below their cost of production, and any legacy auto company transitioning to EVs will be in a similarly dire position.

Incidentally, these margins are also far higher than those of ICE manufacturers. For example, Toyota in Q1 had lower operating income than Tesla, despite having 4x the revenue.
Wow.. And if you asked me to predict the outcome of that incident, I'd have said the fatalities would have been the other way around... go figure!

> I would be more sympathetic to your position if it were likely for death to occur if an infant sleeps in their belly

Given the statistics of back sleeping campaign success it seems fair to say that having your baby sleep on its belly instead of its back would kill 1 in 1000 babies. That doesn’t seem particularly rare.

Riding in a car without a car seat is considerably safer, getting covid is considerably safer.

It would make up about 20 percent of child mortality deaths in the US, that’s not insignificant.
Parts of the U.S. are providing parents protection against this sort of thing.

Texas became the third state after Oklahoma and Utah to pass a free-range parenting bill [1] called the Reasonable Childhood Independence act.

So far this movement seems to be led by traditionally "conservative" states, while the most egregious abuses seem to be reported in traditionally "blue" states, like New York and California.

It'll be interesting to see if the trend continues, and how the issue influences politics.

I'm probably extremely biased (I'm a sysadmin), but this feels like a terrifying way to make your infrastructure entirely implicit and remove anybody's ability to coherently reason about the stuff underneath your application.

Depends on your usecase. Music and Zoom is fine, but for competitive gaming I'd always go wired.
This. Let's not pretend that 'traditional' investors haven't become hooked on expansionary monetary policy too. Pretty much every relevant market segment, from stocks to bonds to real estate, has been overvalued by every traditional metric and still rising for a decade now. With central banks ending the printing bonanza, the time of reckoning has come.

The reckoning will be harder in crypto because on top of loose monetary policy, prices have been propped up by money-printing scams like Tether. If crypto wants to prove it has value as a technology and not just a get-rich-quick scheme, it needs to rid itself of the Terras, Tethers and other such actors.
I think they may well have called the cops.

What would have happened afterwards is hard to say, but once the police get involved... well, bad things have certainly been known to happen.
Shared success in building a safer open-source community
Been there myself after two failed startups, the latter of which I gave up a FAANG salary for and put myself in about $70k of credit card debt over. I know how this part feels.

I took some odd jobs to keep the lights on and I swallowed my pride and borrowed rent money from friends on two occasions. It was not fun at all. After 5 years of employment in tech I've clawed my way out from under it, but it really wasn't easy. But it was worth it.

You probably have some resources, maybe friends or family, that pride and self-image hinder you in tapping. Go ahead and tap them, if you are fortunate enough to have those people in your life this is the time they can be there for you. Your life isn't meaningless, it's just tough at the moment. This will pass.

Don't forget that your experiences place you head and shoulders above similar candidates who haven't taken those risks and who haven't had the breadth of experience you have. Bring that to your interviews and solicitations for one-off work, hold your head high.

What makes you think AGI means AI is a complete field? Wouldn't that mean working out how to build a bridge without trial and error completed engineering? Or that biology was completed when we worked out how dna works + enough organic chemistry? Obviously we won't complete the field in our lifetime, but that's because nothing is ever really complete.

I think I'd put the chances of AGI within my lifetime at 30%. Low, but high enough it's worth thinking about and probably worth dumping money into.

Was it, though? My memory isn't perfect, but I seem to recall the days after Instagram copied the video feature, there were articles on tech blogs mocking Vine on how Facebook was going to eat their lunch. You could even refresh your browser on Vine's Twitter page and watch the count of its followers decreasing in realtime. Not pushing back, I just remember it kind of petering out in popularity (in the US, at least) and then quietly going away, and everyone sort of shrugged.
Quality is subjective. What you presumably mean is "fewer, but more expensive" originals.

You have to remember that a lot of cheap TV makes money. Sure, not many people may watch it, but that doesn't matter if it's cheap enough to make. That's the premise of a lot of the terrible reality TV you see.

The same principle applies to movies. The ideal film isn't another Star Wars or Avatar; it's the Blair Witch Project. It cost tens of thousands to make, but grossed almost $250 million globally.

You may notice that Netflix has a bunch of zombie movies and things. Horror films are generally cheap to make, and horror fans are a reliable audience.
Why do network scans spike latency? Seems like a WiFi firmware bug to me. I wonder if it happens with open source WiFi firmware like ath9k_htc.fw

This won’t be exactly what you were looking for necessarily but when I read this I felt compelled to respond. Twice I have failed in my pursuits in such a way that going forward was essentially “starting over”; in both of these cases there were residual consequences such as debt. It was heartbreaking for me and I don’t know exactly what it feels like for you right now but I imagine it is a heartbreaking experience for you right now, as well. Let me tell you two things, please, based only on my experience.

First: in both cases things got better sooner than I had expected; within a few years things were good... once I had dusted myself off and applied myself to the next chapter of life, I was able to take steps, find ways to dig out, and find hope and passion again in my pursuits.

Second: I, like you, had a lot to offer the world, my profession, and my family and friends; I look back and can see these things. Please, hang in there, and please, don’t let the downturns extinguish your light. Whether you know it or not now, many people will need you around, and in the end, even more will be better off for your influence.
Even if she had been taking photos, that would have been her right:

> If you are in the United States, what matters is where you photograph from. If you are standing on a public street, then everything and everyone clearly visible from your vantage point is fair game. No distinction is made about WHO is being photographed. Celebrities, tourists, children, senior citizens, Times Square mimes — all are equally permissible. That playground which photographers avoid glancing at lest they be turned to stone? Fair game. Same goes for subways, bridges, airports and any private property visible from a public space (with exceptions for military and nuclear facilities).

You keep using the word trustless, but Bitcoin is at best no more trustless than any other currency. You are falsely equating your balance not being able to be arbitrarily changed with it's value being stable. Only the latter (spending power) matters for a currency.

Bitcoin requires you to trust at least three things:
Others will exchange it with you.
Governments will not make holding/using it illegal.
It will not lose it's value overnight. There is absolutely no reason to believe these will continue to be true.
I would not call it a trap, I would call it a trade off. But I am quibbling over semantics. I would reference Shannon here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shannon%E2%80%93Hartley_theore...
which essentially says the following:
C ~= B * SINR ( see the link for exactness )
C is the capacity of the link (think bps)
B is the amount of spectrum ( how many Mhz can I get across the medium )
and SINR is Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio

If you think about this, of course, wireless will be limited spectrum, there are only so many Mhz that is made available for whatever wireless standard you are thinking about, Wifi, 4G, 5G, Bluetooth, whatever.

And, obviously, wireless will struggle with Noise and Interference.

Wired solutions, whether shielded twisted pair (e.g. CAT6) or Coax, or Fiber or Waveguide, whatever, will do much better on SINR, you have thermal noise sure, but generally, it would be a much quieter medium.

Also, you would not have the FCC saying you only get X Mhz, whatever you can get across that medium you get to use.

Thinking about all of these factors then of course, Wired will generally win out, all things being equal.

The Trade off, is that wireless is more convenient.
This is just silly, do you know which tweets twitter cited as reason for Trumps ban?

> > Why must it apply for a job, rather than just DO a job?

I think the idea here isn't just to create a job doing machine but to create a machine that is actually employable in the sense that it has not just intelligence but also agency.

An AI that can apply for a job, get the job, and do the job well enough to keep the job is demonstrating that it has some sort of theory of mind. But I don't think such a demonstration is very likely except as a stunt, purely on the grounds that an AI capable of the necessary subterfuge is more likely to employ shortcuts that are less taxing. A bit of electronic B&E to plant some ransomware, or have a shell corporation take out a few submarine patents and sue some businesses, perhaps operate a darknet marketplace (I think we can agree that an AGI will likely have better opsec than a human), etc.

Lest you think that the only options here are illegal, there are white-hat alternatives as well, for example it is possible to participate in bug bounty programs anonymously and get payouts in cryptocurrencies.

So why would an AI bother applying for a job in the first place?
You have to be cautious here, babies need to be protected from many things that don’t necessarily need to be classified as diseases. Babies are just vulnerable. There is a point where a vulnerability gets classified as a disease, which is sort of the core of the issue.
My dog gets sent to a "doggy day care" occasionally, and they always manage to capture the "nonsense" that the dogs get up to - from speaking to others who live around us they say the same about their dogs there. It's crazy that I have a better window into my dogs social life than you do into your child's.
The concern over AI safety seems about right. The unique thing is that anybody cares at all about civilisational negative externalities in a functional and reasonable way. This is quite rare, unprecedented even. Typically humanity just rushes into new endeavours with little concern and leaves future generations to pick up the pieces afterwards (social media, colonialism, processed food, nuclear weapons etc).
I don't think the concept cars would pass crash testing
Wholehearted agree that it's beautiful that twitter has the freedom to ban anyone, including the president. I disagree with the ban, but I don't really care what social media platforms do at all, to be frank. Musk buying twitter or banning everyone from twitter has little impact on my life.
