Yes, agreed. I understand what you mean. I grew up in "in Europe but not quite european" country. I hope at some point e.g. BTC version 23 is going be as convenient to use as is a credit card - no need to DL 300GB, wait 10 mins for transaction etc, but yes still I can hold my own keys. That will be the technical part solved. The societal part - where we place trust in yet unknown future people, removed from us in place and time, to do useful stuff for me b/c here&now I do useful stuff for third set of people - will follow. The best system that's evolved this far, Fiat - or as a grandparent wrote tax-backed money - is abused often (not by US, EU - they are the good guys; plenty others like Zimbabwe, Yugoslavia etc impoverishing millions - they are bad guys) enough that there is scope for improvement. Trust can be proxied as simple as 1-5 stars... but that may need lots of control - and so on.
Considering the staggering speed that image generation is improving, that 10% gap will only continue to close.

Starting e.g. an art education right now seems likely to be extremely nerve-wracking as your talents may very well be woefully obsolete by the time you graduate; the exception perhaps being those top-0.1% talents that will feed the models of the future with new material.
I just went with whatever but if I had to do it again I would prioritize the community first and the documentation second.
The shadow's legal life? I don't understand :-)
I’ve done all of the things that all of the blogs suggest to keep a decent credit score, but my score is extremely volatile and bounces around in a 200 point range month to month which never made sense to me, but every avenue of complaint fell flat. Then about three years ago I got a rejection letter that said one of the credit bureaus had me categorized as someone likely to run up a good score then bust it out (I forget the term they used) - no history of me doing this but apparently that’s my profile. So if I carry any balance on any card my score immediately drops 196 points, if I pay it off the next month my score jumps 196 points. That sawtooth pattern has been the norm for about a decade. That doesn’t match up with anything that I’ve read about so it seems the credit bureaus actually have a specific policy just for me. Maybe I’m living in the wrong neighborhood, or maybe I’m guilty by association with somebody, who really knows. It doesn’t really stop me from doing anything, if I want a new credit line I just wait until the month when my score is up 196 points, but it might be a problem if I was ever in a situation where I could not wait 8 weeks - like if I’m buying a house or need a car.
During a particularly bad period at one company I worked for in the 80s, a coworker declared that there would be points awarded for each reference made to the Titanic during the upcoming project meeting.

He sat quietly making notes during the meeting, while we all tried to work in "lurking beneath the surface", "steaming ahead regardless" and "only 10% of the issues are visible above the waterline".

As the meeting went on the quality got worse. It was quite clear that something was going on, when suddenly he stood up and announced the scores. Even awarding one of the managers points for mentioning Belfast.
I think there's a unit issue here. The likely speed of a semi is ~60mph, which conveniently is 1mile/min. So even if you're using 20kW (>25hp) continuously or more likely 120kW (>160hp) you'll travel 60 miles in a hour.

So 2kWh/mi = 120kWh/60mi.
> ones you mention can be had on Linux too

First, agreed re: untrusted apps.

And, yeah, maybe I should have been more clear, as you note, they are usually an option, not the standard. Full disk encryption is the standard on MacOS. With Linux, like so many things, you never know what you're going to get. Secure boot took some work to setup on Ubuntu, but works relatively flawlessly. Immutable root filesystem is something you can do with Fedora Silverblue and a few other distros, but it's nowhere near the standard it is on MacOS.

And that's what I mean by years behind, sure you can do basically anything on Linux, but, if it's not the standard, is it even practical enough to be workable? Linux, for lack of a better word, bigots (and I'm a huge Linux fan!) may call MacOS is a toy OS, but, for a laptop, how much work does it take to get Linux to the point where Linux's practical security is similar to MacOS? Lots, and lots, and lots.
Yeah, a (relatively) weird mesh of train and trucking technology - for sure will have it's uses, but I would guess for most of the long freight trains are then a better option?
By this logic, you would need more than 350 millions protesters to affect policy regarding climate change (global industry interests).

DRM and copyright. The information freely available outside such IP silos puts you decades in the past, with the gulf only widening. So odd, how it happened that way. /s
Chemists have nothing directly to do with toxicity and environmental effects either, they design and/or select chemicals to do a job. (The engineers make the aforementioned chemicals in bulk/cheaply/efficiently. Not that they never screw up, but the implied dereliction of ethical behavior you are insinuating doesn't exist and is frankly insulting.

So yes, it is a valid analogy. Just as it would be equally valid [read: not valid at all] to damn the software engineering profession for the sins of AutoDesk, or whomever your villain du jour is.
Unfortunately this continues the perception that UTC/GMT is a time zone. It isn't. A time zone is a geographical area where all the clocks show the same time, but the time that they show may vary - for instance, despite Microsoft's insistence, the UK is not in the "UTC timezone".

This may seem pedantic, and most of the time it's not important to understand the difference. But when this misunderstanding bites, it will take your leg off at the knee.

>backwards position

It's not backwards. It's the same as if a human artist studied it.

Backwards would be thinking that any creative work you make is a derivative work of many creative works that you've seen in the past which you aren't copying from.
If he wants physical copies that take up less space, the old fashion and time proven way is microfilm. One could probably store a bunch of QR codes on it if you wanted to.

Properly stored film is probably better than paper.
Well, you say it yourself: the reason you work in C is for the performance; make performance your specialization, while leveraging what you know in some of these more modern languages and frameworks.

I primarily work in C/C++ for the performance as well. I've leveraged this to create solutions not otherwise possible in these more modern or institutionally entrenched tools. For example: 1) using Python for easy developer access, while many components are implemented in C/C++ for multi-threading, multi-processing plus the performance; 2) extending the MS Office suite with access to high compute analysis without reliance on a cloud service; 3) embedding high performance servers and exposing REST APIs within your projects without reliance on a cloud service - essentially an intranet cloud, or a full blown SaaS if ya want; 4) hosting the latest ML/DL models in a higher performant application than anyone not working in C/C++/ASM/WASM; 5) integrating Cosmopolitan into your stack and all your work becomes OS independent.
I made a website for using ranked choice voting for online polls - https://poller.io - It has been nice to be able to do a quick Ranked Choice Instant Runoff Vote or Borda Count when deciding on things with friends (i.e. where to go on a trip, or which board game to play).

I "marketed" it by posting on HN and Reddit, but that's about it.
Where is this said? I'm looking at the collection of artists this site is happily offering to rip off (https://twitter.com/arvalis/status/1558632898336501761/photo...) and there's a lot of people with long careers making copyrighted work. I really can't imagine finding a ton of CC work by Bernie Wrightson or Wayne Barlowe or Brom or Junji Ito, for instance.
Discord scares the crap out of me. I just don’t trust the app. I couldn’t figure out how to stop it from opening on boot. And it has access to my camera and mic for some reason? Managing identities across different communities seems leaky at best because I think I have to change my name after joining. I’m sure a lot of this is my own ignorance of the tool but I have no interest in learning a modern gamer chat service. None of it is going to stay the same in 10 years, or even 10 weeks. That’s all a hard pass.

This says nothing of what a terrible choice it is for a knowledge base, especially long term. The only way you choose Discord is if you aren’t thinking beyond the “next release”. That’s a huge red flag in a fundamental framework project like this.

Perhaps give some examples?

Everything I can think of is either easily demonstrably false, or I just wouldn't care, because my friends and family either wouldn't believe the attacker over my word, or because it just isn't something that matters to me.
> Carrying an extra 8 tons of battery is going to limit the types of loads where an electric semi mikes sense.

Tesla claims the Semi is only 1/2 ton heavier than a typical tractor, not sure where you got the 8 tons figure from…
> Sorry, but MyPy and friends can barely hold a candle to what actual static-typing systems do - Rust, Haskell, OCaml, Typescript, even .Net (C#/F#) offer more safety and guarantees.

Note that you don't include the most common static languages there (cpp, java, golang), you include languages known *specifically " for their extremely powerful type systems, one of which , just like mypy, uses gradual typing!

This supports my argument!
Is it, though? Getting 2/3rds of the US to agree on anything seems to be nigh impossible these days. I don't see how a convention could be called to amend [extremely popular issue] but then all of a sudden enough of the convention votes to scrap the Constitution altogether.
My 2015 Tesla S 70D does roughly between 260 Wh/m and 370 Wh/m depending on terrain, temperature, precipitation, wind, speed, and driving style. I have no idea what your units mean. A hard acceleration is 250 kW. The average power at a constant 60 mph is about 18 kW.

2 kWh/m seems plausible for level terrain for a larger vehicle that is presumably optimized for low rolling resistance. It sounds a little optimistic but not by more than a factor of two.

So my answer is yes I can believe it or something close.
The OpenBSD FUSE implementation is in base so it should already be well audited.

I don't plan to add "concatenation" as you have described, however this can, in theory, be approximated by layering muxfs on top of multiple RAID0s.
I agree, there's no reason to think large haul electric trucks will have a better efficiency margin over internal combustion variants than in the case of passenger vehicles. On the contrary, there's reasons to doubt it, for example large diesel engines are highly optimized for efficiency unlike small consumer cars they are bought by businesses which think in TCO.

So probably the real margin over diesel is about 50% cheaper in fueling. But you have to take into account route restrictions due to limited range, time lost charging etc. Not to say it won't find its place in the market, but the margin and advantages of electrics are not yet so clear cut, it will take decades to reach dominance.
So, you have a source proving the motivations of the people who founded it and run it now? Because I argued above that it makes little sense to simply assume that weapons are the only goal, or even necessarily the primary goal.
That particular problem is pretty much solved historically: at specific distances between critical logistic locations sleeping spot, chargers, food, mechanic shops etc. will pop up due to an obvious and predictable market pressure. There are whole small cities that exist because they are right distance between actually important places.
Why would you being able to have a diesel truck outside your house affect the cost?

Once we have mega chargers, solar panels etc

Who is saying that? There are already 250 kilowatt super chargers out there now.

https://cleantechnica.com/2019/07/01/teslas-nanochargers-del...

I'm just sceptical (skeptical) because I've worked at companies where out next product will beat our competitors previous generation

What does that have to do with anything? You think diesel trucks are going to leapfrog electric trucks in efficiency by the time electric semis make it to market?
there most definitely is money left on the table, but with any community led project, one has to be very careful with how such money is used. some people take non-profit very seriously, and don't want to contribute to a project that is using funds to pay some of their developers when others work for free.

that happened to debian. when they attempted to use some of their funds to hire developers some people got very upset.

so taking advantage of opportunities to earn money has to be carefully considered. the funds are best used for things that the community has been unable to achieve. or at least a community consensus for how to spend the money should be there, lest anyone get the impression that someone is able to enrich themselves through the project.

i can't think of a concrete example right now, but i seem to remember some projects that have literally fallen apart over issues like these.

not every project is like that of course, and debian may be the extreme here. but for most projects where this is not an issue it is because this has been clear from the start, and the kind of people for whom it would be an issue self-selected to avoid contributing to these projects in the first place.
All depends on if the cargo is volume limited or weight limited.

You don't have to solve every single problem at first even though it would of course be better.
Can you say more about why that put you off?

There are many different backgrounds from which to explore these topics, and type theory is just one way. Also the introduction isn't really trying to formalize computation itself, but give mathematical tools for talking about algorithms.

The abstract species/genus is probably inspired more by Aristotle than CS topics.
Just here to point out the time i was downvoted by a bunch of tech bros for saying i was homeless while employed in the area i went to school for (which was the truth at the time; fortunately managed to get out of that situation, but have resented HN ever since).
Remote work bad. Because your career, psychology, life, everything will be bad!

Spending two additional waking hours five days per week good.

Spending one additional two hours per month washing your work clothes good.

Being micromanaged at the office and looking busy good.

Getting exposed to sick people who don't cover their mouths when sneezing or coughing good.

Not having enough time for your family good!

Not getting enough sleep because you must beat the rush to find a parking spot good!

But remote work - bad! Very bad!
Most of the extra energy usage will come from cars charging at night when the demand is low. So there is no need to build new power stations, it will be sufficient to run the existing ones at full capacity at night.
What is the difference between a "linter" and a "static type system"? Be specific? Pytype, an alternative python "linter" provides type inference. So it's not that. The best I can come up with is toolchain integration, which is exactly what I said.
What you describe sounds ideal for the software industry.

Content violation or ??. Heck, any cartoon in the New Yorker would probably be a content violation.

The hard part, I think, is art making an “on the edge” statement. If they allowed this, it could easily - and would - be taken too far (depending on what your version of too far is).

I just don’t think human art and all the subtleties behind it can be algorithmically replaced. They weren’t algorithmically created.

Corporate soda ads… that’ll probably get replaced (but will still need layout and mixing)

UI design and video game art (not concept art in game art) seems too precise. And meaningful art seems to have too much in baked human judgments.

I am as afraid of this as I am of Github copilot. Meaning, not much.

DALL-E is super cool, but like AI becoming conscious, I am not holding my breath.
I was most surprised the degree to which Buckminster Fuller lied throughout the development of the car and afterwards.

Of course it's heartbreaking that bad engineering killed two people, but that is not unheard of in automobile design. An honest and forthright engineering team can learn from failures.

According to this article Fuller publicly lied about the testing, safety, maximum speed, stability, production capacity, funding sources, crash details, and more. I recall that he also implied that he was the original inventor of the geodesic dome. These kinds of things put his credibility on other claims into question as well.
> Any gambler that makes a prediction without internally associating it with a probability is one that's most likely losing money.

The very fact that this idea is expressible proves that you're combining two different ideas in your head. You're seeing the utility in making accurate predictions then, despite being perfectly capable of talking about predictions which aren't estimates, pretending that they're the same concept.

I of course don't need to appeal to your own confused words, because we live in a world where dictionaries exist.
kW/h is not an unit you want to use. Just drop the /h. And math makes sense.

But yes 2 kW is very low power. Around 2.7 horse power. Which is very little at highway speed. Specially with drag of any semi-truck.

I literally just made a greeting card with DALL-E. Generated the image I wanted and had the card printed and posted to the recepient for no more than buying a pre-exisiting card. Advantage here is that this image concept, which was very tailored to the person, didn't exist anywhere in any form.

All my friends and family will get AI cards now!
Because private companies such as Experian and Equifax have worked out so well. Surely they have had no instances of massive data breaches or anything that would impact millions of individuals adversely.
Languages (both spoken and programming ones) are a bit like pokemon.

You start by wanting to catch them all. Then you realise that not all are powerful or worth the effort to upgrade. By the end you realise that the ones in the "starter pack" are probably some of the best in the stack, and there's only a handful of exotic ones that are worth also having on the side.

They also both tend to have similar names.

It's odd as a design manager, I feel like people focus on the wrong things to be alarmed about with DALL-E, and aren't alarmed enough about others.

* feels like there will be a subtle shift from (corporate) designers as creators to designers as technical sheepherders and retouchers. senior designers who have a real nose for art direction and understanding the fundementals will be fine. interns and juniors may get hit with a widening canyon of blindly using these tools without understanding why the "base" styles/logos look good. the act of creation is a learning experience that this removes.

* I feel like phi-y in a different comment has the most accurate read on the situation, given how this will not replace the superstar artists who've already gone through the years of training and sweat-shop work to refine their craft, but the beginner artists who "need" the sweatshop years to get a real-world sense of their craft and the money from the more easily reproducible works.

* there is a difference from using digital art as a tool (say, an apple pencil) to digital art as a resource-crutch (photobashing) when crunched for time or resources. I have mixed feelings about photo bashing as an art but those who rely on the resource-crutch sign may get hit hardest versus the ones that already have the raw illustration skills and can adapt/art-direct on the spot.

* copyright laws are gonna be interesting when people start trying to "base" results on logos like disney and coca-cola and get lawyers sent after them if it's too obvious. My fear is this creates yet another power imbalance between those who have the money to sic lawyers on others versus not.

* I'm mixed on DALL-E because on one hand and to be perfectly blunt, I feel like the most easily reproduced work is ugly/same-y as sin, and lacks all originality compared with the more creative/taboo-art circles who are the first ones to push stylistic and thematic boundaries. I'm not worried about DALL-E replacing styles that are inherently harder to reproduce.

On the other hand ... a sense of grace should be extended to artists who are affected. Being slowly replaced/treated as obsolete is a hard thing to experience, much like how natural age is rough on people's emotional states to the point where it's a type of trauma. It's messy, and it's hard, and I acknowledge there's going to be casualties.

That video uses a pretty strange calculation to estimate the battery weight. Here is a different way: 500 mile range * 2 kWh/mile means they need a 1000 kWh pack. The most recent packs they are shipping (Texas Model Y) are 543 kg [1] for 67 kWh [2], or 8.1 kg/kWh. If they have the same energy-to-weight ratio for the truck, its should weigh something like 8104 kg. As opposed to 17000 kg in the video.

I think you need to consider that we're in the context of a job market that has been hoovering up devs for the last 10 years. There are 30 year olds who graduated into a fairly good market who are now expeirenced developers who have never seen a really difficult job market. It's all fun and games if you're a fungible 20 something who can go off to be another cog in another machine. But if the market dries up - as is starting to happen with all the big names slowing, it's a very difficult situation to be in, and long term unemployment isn't just a financial burden, it can be a massive emotional burden as well. One thing that has always troubled me in my career is that I look around and I don't see many 50+ or 60+ year old engineers, and partly it's that our industry is still emerging and 60 year old engineers pre-dated the industry. But some of it could well be that at some point attrition pushes people permanently out of the industry.
