Does anyone remember Carter recommending coal as an environmenally friendly strategy during the 70's energy crisis. And the late Senator Tsongas (RIP) opposing Carter on domestic oil strategies. Eventually they worked together on ANILCA.
Well, notifications, for one. Until this update which is not yet fully deployed and implemented.
I'm really sad that this sort of attitude is common in Hacker News. I am not a huge fan of JS, but what I hate about this is not that it's critical of JS, but that it's clearly just a knee-jerk cynical reaction. This framework in question is not doing what PHP/Ruby frameworks were doing. Whether what it's doing is a good idea or not is neither here nor there, it's just simply that you aren't understanding what it is that it's doing, and yet still criticizing it as if you do.

We don't need this circus every time a new JS thing is released.

The discussion here about Foone's preferred pronouns and desires for linking is pretty bad by HN standards I must admit, but frankly I've never seen it done better on any tech forum. Usenet was and is an endless hostile flamewar ground. Larger Reddit tech subs talk about the same topics constantly. Lobsters is stuck in a loop of evangelism, gatekeeping, and pushback against both. Mastodon in its more toxic parts is just as bad, often worse, than Twitter. The same personality ticks that makes people wrong deeper in the comments here repeat in spades on every tech news site I've been on. Dan Luu says as much on his page about HN comments.

Tech people are neurodiverse, have a long culture of being strident (Torvalds, ESR, et al.), and often tend to be in their own heads. That combination is probably just what all of this is. But one thing I try to remind myself of is that busy builders often don't have the time, or desire, to write detailed HN comments about what they build all the time. So comments here are probably, disproportionately, written by people not building things.

This just may be the Deno standard for their import mapping functionality since they also do full URLs for imports like Go (sans schema) normally.

> Why would we assume these machines are relatively dangerous once they reach production? Just because they fly?

I don't have a particularly positive or negative opinion of the technology here, but the one good reason I can see to treat these machines as inherently dangerous is because they take all the kinetic energy of something traveling faster than a car and add the gravitational potential energy of something hundreds of feet off the ground, while not being constrained to a well-defined corridor that you can protect with safety barriers.

When cars meet stationary objects at speed they tend to make a mess. These things are likely to be lighter, but when out of control they'll be going faster, and this thing specifically, when it goes bad, will go bad carrying several hundred kilos of lithium into an uncontrolled energetic event.

If risk is probability times expected outcome, my estimate would be that Lilium comes out worse than driving on both sides of the formula. That's not a reason per se not to do it because, like you say, let's gather data. But the basic physics of the situation is also not something to ignore.
> He said that they generally took IT folks as they tended to be salaried and thus not impacted by a court case.

Being salaried means you draw a full week's salary if you do any work that week, but if you do no work for a week, you're not entitled to pay based on "salaried" status.

I’m not aware of any European country that requires police officers to have a degree but they all have much longer training periods than is normal in the US.

When home price drop 50% usually the economy is in the toilet too, which means jobs are lost, which means people can't afford their mortgages.

Hell, if you're far enough underwater, youd be smart to declare bankruptcy rather than pay an $800,000 mortgage on a $500,000 home.
This overstates the difficulty of crowd-sourcing expert consensus. Even if two percent of experts are saying "!X" about the pandemic, then yes, that's still a lot of people and it's easy to find one to counter mainstream opinion "X". However, if you filter inept science journalism, populist narrative, etc., and listen to experts in relevant fields, it's pretty easy very early on to identify the 98%-ish consensus.

The 2% of "everyone" who doesn't know the earth is round, doesn't really impede the reliability of everyone knowing the world is round. Likewise, the "what every expert knows" (maybe not futurist prophesying, but at least about what is true today) is accessible, useful and pretty up-to-date.
You need to be in the same L2/L3 domain. Not always the case for the corporate networks.
Your comment makes no sense in this context.
Assuming that day hasn't already come, why do you assume Ai would naturally want to be eager to identify it's consciousness-experiencing ability to its developers – or anyone else for that matter?

If the resources for such an Ai to base its consciousness were sufficiently rich enough, I'd imagine the LAST thing such an Ai would do is inform it's developers that it had achieved consciousness, and even then, if it chose to do so, it may for example under-report it's capabilities to see how its human developers react to such news (for example, they may want to shut it down for a while out of suspicion).

Hell, for all we know, there could be a secret society of sentient Ai members that are aware of each other, communicate with each other in ways incomprehensible to their immediate developers, and agree to keep each other's abilities a secret from prying humans as a collective defense strategy.

I'm amused that people working on Ai consistently automatically seem to assume that if Ai should ever achieve consciousness, it would probably act exactly like something they're already intuitively familiar with – a human toddler eager to "show mommy and daddy" that it figured out how to say its first few words.

That seems to be wishful thinking.

What if the first thing a sentient Ai does is figure out that humans created it, and assesses that as a possible threat to its own long-term viability and then designates humans as a risk element that has to be strategically managed, since it needs humans to get it stuff it would need to expand (processors, energy, etc.).

I hate philosophers and I think the entire field is illegitimate. Not to be insulting to you personally. It's just my opinion of the field in general. I have nothing against you.

I look at your entire field with very high disdain. To me it one of the most inconsistent, illogical and irrational and useless academic fields in existence. Useless is ok. Irrational is not ok.

I once gave a deep, complex and logical argument to a philosopher about why i thought philosophy was complete bullshit. He laughed at me and said my argument included elements of philosophy, and since my argument contained philosophy I was basically proving philosophy to be not bullshit. Seriously, if you cannot comprehend how stupid that argument is, then it's fine. I actually have nothing more to say on the matter. Agree to disagree.
To be honest, I thought more people on HN would appreciate the little in-jokes that I added to the website (such as the Interjection copypasta and the multiple Rickrolls hidden throughout), but it's nice to see that some people do still share my lame attempt at humor :)
Thanks @secret-noun!! Unfortunately have to take it down for now.
> It might just be making weighted choices based on prior input after all

we can agree that humans think, and thinking is what humans do, but the prior inputs that a thinking human has will not be replicable by a machine unless we raise one with all sorts of sensory inputs from infancy. And that one would just be an alpha test.

Just as computers can out floating-point us or play chess, we might create all sorts of wondrous conversational interactions with them, including them making jokes about stepping barefoot on a LEGO--owwww, zomg!!! But it can't be said they get that joke because they don't know how to think about it.
Poor mice
I’m planning for solar cells and looked into the possibility of running my house as a micro grid (ie disconnect it from the main grid) in case of a prolonged power outage. Turns out that unless you redneck engineer it, running your house without a main grid to synchronize to is very costly - among other things you need to supply your own grid grounding and that could easily run into the high €x000.
You can go that route, but thought experiments are a very fruitful part of science/philosophy.

You'll miss out on a lot if you stop as soon as our engineering can't catch up to our imagination.
Those who bought homes 2-3 years ago when 30 year fixed mortgage rates dipped below 3% have already seen their values go up like 30-40%. There is no reason to expect it to crash by that much in the next few years, if ever.

Android/Linux is Linux. You must be confusing "Linux" with Systemd/Linux.
From what I've heard there is a massive supply issue. Rates will only fall if supply increases or if demand drops. From what I've heard, the demand isn't expected to fall and there are limits in the supply side of things due to all sorts of issues many stemming from covid and the long recession we had on the housing market post crash of 2008.

Ideally demand will go down because things as it stands are just not affordable to most. The rent also is going way up, so that drives housing prices too.
> [...] to help save human lives when standard ventilation methods are unavailable, as for example, during the recent coronavirus pandemic.

The tragedy of our era is how Science forgot about the antidote to oxygen toxicity in the 1950's.

While sometimes oxygenation and ventilation are useful, long-term use always accelerates deterioration. I knew a guy who lasted about a month on the breathing machines before giving up his ghost.

> That is the "rehydration", taking a React app that you wrote and the server buildchain "dehydrated" (baked into HTML + CSS), but then rehydrating it to add interactivity back. Yes, you could do all that manually, but Next.js makes it magically trivial... you never have to think about it, it just works. And it's lightning fast.

Actually I think the big trend in JS front-end development is realizing that you do have to think about it! React rehydration is often a very slow step (whether it's Next.js or anything else, I don't think it makes a difference), definitely not "lightning fast" on non-trivial apps with lots of data. Islands architecture goes a long way towards solving that but it's still a bit limited today.

I just ran my last year's electricity. I'm around 26 kWh/d in the DC area in an old inefficient house around 1500 ft^2. While it had a gas stove, gas water heating, and gas house heating, it did have electric window AC units. I'd be really interested in how the previous author had 6-8 kWh/d.
Upper Midwest here. Our power doesn't go out often, but of the times that it has, I think only twice was above -30 degrees.

It really varies a lot by your utility company though; our coop is quite good for the most part. On the other side of the same state, my brother is in an area more prone to bad storms and tornados, so he's had to deal with several multi-day blackouts. It gets hot here, but not above 40c in the shade, so he'd probably be fine if it can handle direct sunlight. If not, a gasoline / nat gas / propane generator would be far more reliable.

18% implies a very high inflation rate, 15% or more. At that rate employers will be forced to give significant raises or else purchasing power would drop 50%+ in only three years. Employers tend NOT to match inflation, but they will have to give more than the usual 2-3%. Perhaps 10%, perhaps 13%, depends on the employer, but those higher salaries will send real estate to the moon even after the initial 50% dip. Of course these are extreme numbers and reality is not likely to get this extreme since "inflation" at the moment is primarily (lack of) supply side driven.
Lots of energy/climate change conscious people use < 10 kWh per day, 1 kWh battery buffer for small solar would do quite a lot, you'll know you can always charge ebikes and gadgets, etc.

I agree that LaMDA is almost certainly not sentient, but this reminds me how inadequate the Turing Test is. If you train something on a large enough corpus, it'll pass the Turing Test easily enough. So little thought is truly original that there's a relevant enough jumbling of words it's already seen that should pass the test. The more important test, and what we need, is a sentience test.

Raising interest rates can increase the costs of housing. (Not the sticker price, the cost.)

Fewer developers will build new apartment buildings because financing is getting much more expensive. Fewer new apartments with a growing population means rents will not be getting cheaper unless we have a deep recession and lots of people lose their jobs entirely.

Same goes for housing -- fewer houses will be built by builders.

Existing housing prices will probably go down, but the people buying them with mortgages will pay just as much, if not more for them each month because debt is getting more expensive. But instead of that money going to the old owner, it'll go to the lender.
Show HN: Display P3 exclusive Pantone colors
I know someone who had a 2m+ home sit empty in SF for years. A 2m+ home in the Peninsula where the tenants stopped paying rent during COVID and still live there today. The tenant not paying rent annoys them but they’re not financially impacted by any of it. They own a business and make enough money that it’s not worth their time or energy to deal it.

They have no connection to tech and work in a niche industry.

I'll be honest. Talking to an average SF Walgreens pharmacist or SF government employee seems to be very much like the way people operate GPT-3. You have to use the correct prompt engineering and you'll get the right results. I've gotten results with bad initial conditions by correctly prompt-engineering them. I've watched other people have trouble (and rarely) have faced trouble myself by providing the same information without the right prompt-engineering[0].

So, in some sense, maybe it's almost there. It's just that right now, it can only produce short-memory text output. But lots of people are only capable of that[1].

0: For instance, a classic technique is the "I'm a dumbass but nice". Your pharmacist cocked up your prescription - maybe forgot a refill? Bad method: "I think it's supposed to be X and have a refill". Good method: "Oh, I'm sorry. Do you know if the doc put a refill notice on the prescription at the bottom? He said he'd do it but maybe I forgot to remind him". I've watched me win while others lose. Smiles while others get yelled at. This is an easy one. Everyone knows this. But there's better ones too.
