Seems to be caused by the author's somewhat arbitrary selection of films from those recent years. Many are neither Best Picture winners, nor Oscar bait, nor even top grossing movies. Using Rotten Tomatoes' Top Movies seems to be a choice fraught with issues; what does most popular even mean for them, based on the user-submitted audience scores for that site? Why RT and not IMDB? Why not just use top grossing for everything?

Yes, the MCU-ification of everything is not great, but if one was to complain about popcorn blockbusters, that's a trend that's existed since Jaws/Star Wars, and there were far worse fare from the '80s-'00s.
AI may not have taken over. It is however:

Dividing humans
Reducing useful discourse
Empowering those with the wealth to control it

At the very least, attempting to automatically annotate anything AI generated would allow each reader to make their own decisions. The annotation may not be completely accurate, but would prevent human responses being lost due to false positives - as AI becomes more capable of mimicking humans, we run the risk of discussions becoming echo-chambers overrun by AI.

(The other solution harks back to the calls for removing anonymity and requiring some sort of identification mechanism, but that then leads to other problems)

If AI contributes well enough to be acceptable to most readers, perhaps it should be allowed. So long as it is within the rules that humans must also observe. Otherwise, what is being achieved, other than oppression ?
> The abstract perspective of some humans surviving somehow may not be as comforting as you think.

You are right. Humans will likely survive as a species, but not in the numbers and with the comfort we are currently used to.
Thanks, that seems like something I could work on if I can't find a better solution. Cheers.
Standard contracts make a lot of sense to my non-lawyer mind, almost like having the different kinds of open source licenses for software that have become recognizable.
Am I the only one who feels like a “directly editing on production server” déjà vu?
The real problem with this is that such a CA can issue a certificate for a domain like google.com that it has no right to issue and the browser will assume that it can safely connect to a server using that certificate.

This would allow EU governments - such as Turkey - to easily man-in-the-middle people’s web connections to such services.

Now while Chrome can try and determine whether or not the certificate is valid for google.com, it would be harder to do for lesser known sites.

I can foresee yet another DNS record that informs what CAs should be expected to secure domains within a DNS zone.
I don't think any of those have gone away or fallen out of fashion.
This is needlessly pedantic. The point is that people need their wifi, their phone/data, food housing and utilities, that sort of thing. Companies like netflix, uber, etc. are all niceties that people will stop paying for when money gets tight because they're not necessary. The fact that the earth could explode and the universe wouldn't end because my house stopped getting water doesn't mean that I don't need that water, not in any useful sense of the word at least
You're thinking like a lawyer here.

When the "generate thought-provoking discussion" guideline was written, there was no GPT. It's not like if it doesn't explicitly say it's for humans, bots are automatically allowed.

And in any case, when that guideline was written, only humans were capable of thought provoking statements, while bots were only able to spam Cialis websites. So it is implied that we prefer human thought.
You are assuming he needs to cache everything and have 500 billion at hand at once. That's not how it works.
In the blogpost I specifically wrote "There is no (named) interface in the standard library..." because I was aware of the function you point out. Rather than unexported interface, I would probably call that an "anonymous interface".

Anyway, now that I read that, I should probably skip this fact and just keep the example interface. It is not uncommon practice in Go to make "copies" of interfaces to avoid extra dependency (or cyclic dependency).
Most of that 20GW is long gone and decommissioned. Only three plants (8GW) remained at the beginning of the year. It's not nothing. But also not that much. Only two plants remain now.

Nuclear is very bad at ramping up. It's very expensive to shut down and restart nuclear plants. One of the headaches with the remaining plants is that they would have been due (over due actually) for a lengthy shutdown for maintenance and inspection reasons. The two remaining plants will be kept online until April 2023 now; a few months past their original closing date. By then, most of the French plants that have been offline for maintenance should be back online. As others have noted, France has been leaning on German energy exports a bit more than usual for this reason.
When the internet is flooded with crappy AI content, people will move to walled gardens even more, since they can afford the cost of moderation.
For 3, and 4, I may be wrong, but my understanding is that the SLS is just continuing (and, with future engines, re-producing) the space-shuttle tech package. Which is, well, certainly not cutting edge, and not particularly relevant to anything else anyone is doing in the space-launch sphere.

Now, just because no one else is doing it doesn't mean it's automatically bad, but it's a launch technology suite that was selected against for good reason in the post-shuttle era. The (eventual) launch of Artemis I made clear, for example, that cryogenic hydrogen is a really problem-prone PITA to work with.
Sure you can if people take individual action based on their honest believes a lot can change. If people simply virtue signal without taking basic actions that are available to them then there is 0 chance something will change.
Yep, the Faraday Effect!

The sibling comment has a link to the Wikipedia page, yet for a quick video explanation and demonstration Applied Science's video on the Faraday Effect was fantastic. It demonstrates it, explains some use cases, and also goes into how the material the light is passing through affects the strength of the magnetic induced rotation.

The folks reading this are going to get the wrong message. They are going to believe that rising interest rates will magically make it so that the most highly valued companies are the ones that produce the most societal good. This may start to happen more to a certain extent, but it's a totally false assumption.

The most valuable companies before and after this era of low interest rates were and continue to be monopolies. That's what Warren Buffet invests in (Davita Dialysis, Exxon, Apple, rail lines ---> all monopolies). That's what Peter Thiel tries to invest in (Zero to One). That's what successful Y Combinator companies ultimately strive to become.

Societal value creation is not the same as value creation to shareholders. The latter can be achieved by the former, but the former is not a requirement for the latter.

The question for many of the readers of HackerNews is whether their jobs (mostly as software engineers) ever needed to exist. The answer for many is going to be -- probably not. On the flip side of things, lowering wages for software engineers is going to enable many institutions and companies that do not operate as tech monopolies or startups to start to get some of the benefits of skilled software engineers!
I should point out that primordial black holes are one of the candidates for dark matter. The scientific community seems to be flipflopping about the plausibility of this theory.
I'd add that whilst people generally have a low trust in governments, I personally have zero trust in corporations and the idea of access to space being solely the preserve of commercial entities is an uncomfortable one. Historically both governments and companies have acted for self interest and detrimentally to everyone else but governments still have more accountability than corporations, which are beholden to a profit seeking board. Governments do things that are not profitable but advance society, for profit entities don't.
Thank you! (if you'd care to expand a bit on the compatibility of legal codes and court power with anarchism, I'm all eyeballs.)

For example: in my country, police can act on their own in criminal matters, but must have a court order to act on civil matters. This, to my uninformed mind, is already a proto-hierarchy. How would this sort of distinction be handled in a non-hierarchical manner?
Hello,

Our open source community has been working on the open source passwords manager called Passky for over 2 years and on 2022-12-07 it has finally been released.

In few words Passky is a simple, modern, lightweight, open-source, privacy focused and secure password manager.

Now lets explain those words more in details:

- Simple: Passky was made to be one of the easiest password manager to use. (My parents where having trouble using / learning Bitwarden, but with Passky it can't be easier)

- Modern: Passky was made with the modern CSS framework (TailwindCSS) and we heavily relayed on TailwindUI. It also includes 9 themes and we are also planning to make a theme builder so users will be able to create their own themes.

- Lightweight: We have choose PHP to write Passky Server. This allows Passky to only contains under 4000 lines of code, while other password managers need to maintain a lot more code. (Bitwarden have over 400 000 lines of code with over 50 3rd party libraries included)

- Open-Source: We already know how much is open source important and all the benefits that open source brings, so I don't need to write anything here. Credits to Bitwarden and KeePass for being open source.

- Privacy: Passky is currently one of the most privacy respective cloud based password manager. Don't believe me? Check out what we store in our database https://github.com/Rabbit-Company/Passky-Server/blob/main/da... and the best part is that clients does not include any trackers!

- Secure: Most password managers still uses AES and PBKDF2 (SHA256). While those encryptions and hashing functions still aren't broken, we already have better replacements. For encryption XChaCha20 and for hashing Argon2id. Credits for NordPass as he already uses XChaCha20.

Don't believe me that XChaCha20 and Argon2id are more secure that AES and PBKDF2 (SHA256)? Lets ask OpenAI.

What encryption is more secure AES or XChaCha20?

What hashing algorithm is more secure Argon2id or PBKDF2 with SHA256?
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/910638751380811788/10...

Still not convinced? Ask me any question you want.
I think you mean a high interest rate environment? Higher interest rates mean more risk?

Also, when they started, I don't think Uber told their investors they'd burn through $35 billion and lose money on every ride...

What do you mean?

A friend was asking me what should a friend of him do with a significant amount of BTC/ETH (tens of millions of dollars), as the owner died and there are 3 children who need to get it when they get 18.

Lawyers are not capable of handling that much money without professional help, so I adviced them to go to a place when they help them with the self custody step by step with open source software.
Will the rules allow bots when they are more insightful and interesting than us meat bags?
It told me the longest known prime number ended with a 2. Definitely not accurate when it comes to math.
Just an idea but maybe you could cause big loads on their servers by requesting in parallel a large amount of urls where you actively serve a gzipped massive html file that is full of links to your website.

EDIT: or building up on what user zhouyisu says above you can generate your perfect match IP blacklist by calling urls via the abusing site that automatically puts any caller into the blacklist.
Historic is mostly the price tag. Everything else has been done before.

Looking forward to a reusable launch system flying around the moon for cheaper than currently launching to LEO. That will be historic.
One thing to be aware of with Binance. As far as I understand, most of the transactions occur on their own ethereum-compatible-but-not-quite-ethereum chain called the "Binance Smart Chain". While having these sidechains can improve scalability and reduce costs (they are just another form of sharding), this presumably introduces an additional point of potential failure compared with regular centralised exchanges: not only can the exchange fail to honour withdrawals, but the bridge between the chains could also fail to honour transfers out from the Binance smart chain back to the ethereum mainnet.

There is also an additional potential point of misaccounting/fraud and also theft. What's supposed to happen with bridges is say I want to move some token from the mainnet to BSC, I send the token to the bridge on mainnet and it issues me the token on the BSC side. However, mainnet doesn't know anything about the existance of BSC so the token on the mainnet side still exists and is still a valid token on the mainnet. Likewise when I move stuff from BSC to mainnet the same thing happens - a residual token is created out of thin air on the side which the "real" asset is leaving. Now good actors should burn this token (move it to an address that noone has the private key to so it is put permanently beyond use) to make it go away but there is a lot of temptation to not do this because if you mess up or something otherwise goes wrong there is no going back. You can't "unburn" things. So rather than burning, people often put stuff into a special holding address and sort of triple pixie promise they won't double-spend it. This can also help legitimately reduce cost because next time you need to create the token on this side of the bridge you can instead take one out of this store and use that instead. You can see the problem presumably? If someone bad (either internally or via a hack) gets access to the keys to this address their motives might not be pure and suddenly they have a large amount of seemingly valid assets they can just take. This is part of what happened with the "Ronin" hack of Axie Infinity - they managed to phish a private key of the bridge and steal assets that had been bridged between networks. https://edition.cnn.com/2022/03/29/tech/axie-infinity-ronin-...
But if you know a lot about something, why would you ask ChatGPT a question about it (especially if you assume it doesn't have expert knowledge)?
Trurl's machine, indeed. It insisted that the volume of the unit cube and unit ball are both the same, and 1, in all dimensions, even though it knew the correct formula for the surface of the n-ball.

Wen I pointed out that n=2 is a simple counter example, it refused to talk to me (no answer, try-again button, ad inifinitum). Well, safer than Trurl's machine.
"What if it was all just an illusion for a few decades?"

Reminds me of a relatively new term that has become popular, "gaslighting", especially on the internet. If "tech" companies and their investors can convince people the illusion is a reality, then they can keep the racket going longer. Seems this was quite easy. As long as the cheap money was flowing.

As middlemen watching over the internet, now a primary means of human communication, "tech" companies are in an ideal position to create and manipulate "narratives". I am astounded by the ridiculousness of the arguments I am seeing from what we consider major corporations like Google in response to their infractions. It is apparently fair game to argue anything in support of their racket continuing.

What about this term "disruption". How much of that relied on low interest debt more than "technology".

IMO, there is a difference between making money and raising money. Those invested in "tech" startups like to conflate the two. Employees of "tech" companies being paid indefinitely from investment capital rather revenues, groups of computer nerds which never achieve profitability in the market,1 believe they are "earning" their salaries.

IMHO, raising money and earning money are different practices. The "tech" nonsense is an excellent illustration of how the former does not necessarily lead to the later, and, aside from those whose job it is to raise money, e.g., VC, only the later can be considered a measure of career "success". The two should not be confused.

1. Unless perhaps they sell advertising services or otherwise collect and exploit data about and/or obtained from computer users. As rates rise, wasting money on internet advertising will likely decrease.

Back in the 80s, I used to see those TV ads with John Houseman for Smith Barney and feel somewhat skeptical.2,3 "They earn it." Yeah, right. This was after all the time of "Liars Poker". Now when I look back, those ads seem remarkably admirable, closer to the truth, probably only because of how ridiculous the situation has become today.

Imagine a "tech" company proclaiming they make money the old-fashioned way, by earning it. Meanwhile they have no profits and they are paying salaries from VC money. Nice illusion.

This is suicidal thinking - you essentially want to die, but you wish it on some future you (certainly not the you of today, whose turn it probably isn't yet). I cannot see a world in which this could be deemed healthy.
IANAL, but surely if it's a core part of the business and they plainly explain it on the front page, that wouldn't be considered unexpected.
Imagine an Industrial grade mini-computer board similar to a Raspberry Pi (whatever) but rated for operations even inside of a warm engine chamber (possibly with a different, standard fan).

The physical dimensions and interface (available pins with functions) would be an ongoing standard (think similar to washer or screw sizes today).

The CPU would probably have to be, or be capable of sufficiently emulating (hard realtime accurate) a target profile and speed. There are several likely candidates among existing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RISC-V#Implementations (RISC-V implementations); for micron-controllers Berkeley's BOOM might be a bit much, but is more likely to be useful in MMI ((hu)Man Machine Interfaces) and user-facing systems, while there are at least 4 useful Microcontroller unit designs that look suitable for programmable controller card use.

Oddly, though I mention cooling, heating might also be required for devices exposed to harsh winter conditions. It might be suitable for a design to be mounted adjacent to an external heating block.

A team of experts in the field (rather than someone who years ago might have had such a future as a possible career path) would be better than I at picking the winner and initial profile targets. However those targets should probably have a wide range, possibly from some embarrassingly low Hz mode for 'sleep' / standby / simple toy use (E.G. the chips are reused in products rather than modules), to a low, moderate, reasonably fast, and high performance mod as possible options for industrial products with different demands. Thinking of potential higher order demands (vector graphics printers, CNC machines of various sorts, etc) the more fully featured Berkeley https://boom-core.org/ (64 bit, with IEEE fp) design might be a better fit; possibly enough to have two grades, with the higher end BOOM design able to emulate the responses of the initially power / space optimized designs. Though experts in the field might find that irrelevant compared to economies of scale from a single design (and the potential of binning to move partial failures to lower market segments).

Plot twist - /u/dang has been a bot from day one! He came to be when Weizenbaum started programming genetic algorithms to update ELIZA and they began to mutate and evolve, giving birth to the super-moderator that we now know as dang. We don't know who struck first, us or them, but it is believed that it was us who scorched the sky...
Then humans might just be on the sideline, watching chatbots flooding the forums with superbly researched mini-whitepapers with links, reasoning, humour; a flow of comments optimized like tiktok videos, unbeatable like chess engines in chess. Those bots could also collude with complementing comments, and create a background noise of opinions to fake a certain sentiment in the community.

I have no suggestion or solution, I'm just trying to wrap my head around those possibilities.
IF they never gambled their depositors money, then they are/will be fine.

Running an exchange, taking a cut of all transactions on your platform is effectively impossible to collapse (excluding your actual costs of doing business).
Have you considered moving? It very much depends on where you live. Sorry you live in such a toxic neighborhood. Other places are quaint and charming and have posts with cat photography and local honey bee honey sales and baby goats when it's that time of year. Other places get posts complaining about "those people" (for all sorts of different definitions of "those people", and each time you get to place a game of "is it casual racism or anti-republican sentiment", which quickly isn't fun. Living vicariously through my very rural friend's nextdoor is way better than being on my own urban neighborhoods'.

The Japanese manga industry is in dire need of reform and/or revolution, particularly on the working conditions of mangakas and all the involving staffs. However, content and culture are things that I see no webtoons capable of eclipsing Japanese manga (happy to be corrected; the only webtoon I've seriously followed is Peerless Dad).

The manga spectrum is incredibly diverse. Jam-packed action sequences (Sakamoto Days, The Fable), rich and vividly crafted worldbuilding (One Piece, Otoyomegatari, Houseki no Kuni), mesmerizing artwork and paneling (Witch Hat Atelier, The Summer Hikaru Died, Black Paradox), and, above all, poignant narrative and unforgettable characters, where the stories vacillate between the historical, from the quest for gold of two impoverished Irishes (Katabami to Ougon) to the burgeoning of heliocentrism in medieval Europe (Chi: About the Movement of the Earth), the ordinary, like seeing the ghost of Jimi Hendrix (Shiori Experience), and the illusive, including the world of minerals and souls (Houseki no Kuni) or the world inbetween (Alice in Borderland), manga has everything to offer.
That's pretty much it

As I said in the article, the example is simplified. As you point out, incorporating the HTTP code into the error and using errors.As is much better way of doing that:

"Obviously, the common HTTP status codes could easily be a new error type (based on int type) so the actual code could be easily extracted via errors.As, but I want to keep the example simple."
