> This is complete idiocy.

I think calling someone an idiot is against HN policy...but, what do I know, I am obviously an idiot.

That said. OK, well, let's publish everyone's travel plans. Name, flight, seat, from/to, etc. Make the system 100% open to for anyone to see who is travelling, where and when.

You know, so folks profiting from breaking into homes while people are travelling can be more efficient in their scheduling.

In our neighborhood we've had a few cases of homes being burglarized when people travelled out of town and posted about it on Facebook. Lots of people are not aware that they might be posting to the entire universe. Those wonderful pictures of your vacation in Hawaii let smart crooks know you are not home in Los Angeles.

I am 100% certain everyone would be against their personal, family and business travel itineraries being posted in a publicly accessible website or database in real time. Understandably so. Why, then, is it to that this is OK for those who might be obvious targets of violence and other potentially negative outcomes?

One argument I saw in this thread is about not creating special rules for a small group of people. Fine with that. Let's publish everyone's travel plans then. Or, on the other hand, have the common sense to understand that personal safety is important to everyone and move to make posting such information illegal and protect everyone, no matter their station in life.

I get it that on HN there exist a subgroup of people who are millionaire/billionaire haters. Good for you! Enjoy the hatred. That group aside, once common sense enters the room, it is generally clear that privacy is good for everyone, regardless of who they might be.

As much as I dislike politicians, this should also extend to them. Yes, of course, their travel details should be released and made available for all to review. However, this can be done well after the fact.

Safety first. For everyone.
With minimal rotation, it has no magnetic field. Thus, no hydrogen except what is locked up in ice.
Honestly, it's pathetic that this is even a matter of discussion amongst a self-proclaimed intelligent community (or is it wisdom?). I won't honor this thread with my counterpoints to the GDP argument since others have covered this to some extent. I live in the city, but even I understand the value of natural preservation.

We humans must become better shepherds of the earth we inhabit. It's not just out of the goodness of our hearts, but due to a moral obligation that binds us all.
I think this boils down to another far more simple question

How would you fix what for which reasons? As long as we pretend this to be mainly an ideological problem while ignoring the practical difficulties of not just solving stuff, but figuring out what to solve using which metric, we are unlikely to do anything sensible. Because every error and uncertainty in the conclusion to that question is extremely profitable to exploit.

I would be willing to go one step further, the more people dont talk about this, but are having trivialized arguments in which you know to be right pushing for vague calls to action, the less likely is it that we are doing anything sensible.

I am also confident, that if i were wrong on this, somebody could explain why. While there is a limit to complexity of possible solutions, ignoring the problem doesnt make it go away. It makes it worse.

edit: In case its not obvious, this flawed approach of framing something as an ideological argument while discouraging goal oriented approaches would also be how sabotage looks.
Is there anything similar to this for Java/Kotlin/Gradle?
Considering the main ingredients are sodium and sulfur, recycling should not be a major problem. Those are commonly used elements and not particularly toxic.

This question is always asked about EV batteries. Their recycling is something that is being developed but is still in prototype phase. Actual production scale recycling is not feasible yet because the number of retired EV batteries is too small to be efficiently recycled. That will eventually change but since EV batteries are generally lasting for a decade or more, it will take several years before we start seeing significant numbers needing to be recycled. I would expect that the same story would apply to these batteries if they are deployed.

Yes, and it's needed. Running relays or exits helps the network.
lobotomized AI assistant future is already a done deal to me. For that to not happen we would need to be laying the foundations right now with these organizations operating on absolutist 90s cyberpunk values. Pretty much the opposite is happening.

No, it's not the same thing at all, in fact it's entirely unrelated.

Say it with me: Computer algorithms are NOT people. They should NOT have the same rights as people.
> Are HOAs and condo associations basically the same idea?

They are the exact same thing, but the fact that one is for single-family homes and the other for condos makes them behave in different ways. Generally speaking, the higher the density of people, the more they are accepting of regulations on their behavior.
What's going to happen if technologists collectively come to the table and engaging in sincere discussion rooted in kindness, compassion, and empathy?

I fully expect there will be zero reciprocation. There will, instead, be a strong expectation that that empathy turns into centering of fear and a resulting series of economic choices. AI systems are now threatening the ability of some artists to get paid and those artists would like that to stop.

I think we're seeing it right now. You shift effortlessly from talking about empathy to talking about the money. You consider the one the way to get the other, so you deplore the horrifying lack of empathy.

Let me put it another way. Would you be happy if you saw an outpouring of empathy, sympathy, and identification with artists coupled with exactly the same decisions about machine learning systems?
AWSM F/OSS #39: Trac-ing Rallly-ing DuckDBs
Very unclear what you mean. Large-scale, cheap, safe, and environmental energy storage is a huge issue that is nowhere near solved yet, so more solutions are absolutely a good thing.
The AI did not create anything. It responded to a prompt given by a human to generate an output. Just like photoshop responds to someone moving the mouse and clicking or a paintbrush responds to being dragged across a canvas.

So any transformativity of the action should be attributed to the human and the same copyright laws would apply.
It's absolutely a slippery slope.

> The reason to be a good environmental steward is to make the earth habitable for ourselves. This is why people who claim “I don’t want kids because of global warming” are so incredibly stupid - the earth does not care a smidgen about them, it’s a rock. If they really cared about the environment they would have as many kids as they could in hopes of raising a great scientist to help the environment!

What even is this argument?

People who are saying they don’t want kids because of global warming are saying that because they don’t want their kids to grow up in a world where the consequences of generations of not caring about global warming are evident.

And why are they stupid, exactly? Because they don’t want to inflict potential suffering on their kids? Because they don’t want to add to the overpopulation of the planet? True monsters, these people.

Pick any measurement of quality of life that you want. You'll see that it's closely associated with GDP per capita.

According to these scenarios, the planet won't die, in as much as it can support GDP.
Lithium batteries are a great source of lithium, and bigger of them, like laptop batteries, largely get recycled even now, AFAICT. Lithium + iron chemistries in particular avoid seriously toxic components.

Both lithium and plastics are far less nasty than, say, ash from a coal-burning plant, with its sulfur, mercury, and radioactive stuff. Retiring these is a higher priority thing, IMO, than improving lithium mining cleanliness (though an improvement is always welcome).
If I had money to donate I'd donate it to the charity I thought would be most effective at helping the cause I cared most about.

If I had enough money to create my own charity it would be focused on the cause I cared most about.

My giant ego and hubris would make it hard for me to come to the conclusion that a charity I created wasn't the most effective at its goals, even if that didn't happen to be the case.
Not normally, but if you use those memories to re-create the movie and sell it to someone else then yeah, that's totally copyright infringement.
>No, because Russian/Cyrillic lacks the properties that make English/Latin so useful as a universal language/script:

Which is in particular?

>Almost all languages have widely used, standardized transliteration systems into a Latin script. That's not true for Cyrillic.

Combination of historical circumstances and you confusing cause and effect.
You can write english in cyrilic.

>English is far more widely spoken and read than any language written in Cyrillic.

See above.

>The subset of the Latin script used by English is essentially the common denominator of all languages written in Latin. That's an extremely important property and immediately predisposes English for the role it has today.

Why? It makes english almost the only language you can write properly. This is a bad property.
Every ultra-wealthy person has a charity for this purpose, right? Clintons, Bill Gates, etc...
I don't disagree that dedicated servers only would be better, much to the contrary, but sadly matchmaking is here to stay and there's nothing we can do about it. You can have parallel dedicated servers that have no impact at all on the matchmaking experience, that's my point, not that matchmaking would put you into community servers, seamlessly was probably the wrong word for it. I wouldn't dislike official dedicated servers being accessible by both the browser and matchmaking however.
It's interesting how many people say this. Much of it is great compared to an abysmal baseline of terrible APIs often in C++ ...

... but they have a magnificent 'context' problem: Qt is complicated and you never really know where you are in the architecture. There are 8 'Window' classes and you don't know if it's for Widgets, QML/Quick, QGraphics, or legacy or what.

I double-dare you to go and figure out what JS engine they currently use and for what. Because it's evolved so much over the years, and they keep legacy stuff around, StackExchange comments are poorly noted with versioning, it's a labrynth of disinformation.

There are neat articles you can find if you dig, but my god, you shouldn't have to dig.

I learn 'foundational' things about QT all the time, and to add salt they have an article where they dare to indicate it's 'our' problem for their incoherent documentation, they literally state 'Dunning-Kolberg' effect on one of their pages! Total gaslighting.

The desperately need 'overview' documentation that are accessible and put everything in context - and especially it needs to be just presented in an organized way - literally the Left Hand Menu of their docs jumps around and you have no context. You're looking at Qt5 classes, search for something and only Qt6 variations come up, you have to flip to Google etc..

Some Qt classes are well documented, but there are serious problems. I honestly think Qt would be 25% more popular if they just explained things more clearly.
It's very clear that burning fossil fuels is the right move unless there's some catastrophic outcome associated with climate change. This is because economic progress compounds. A small GDP gain now will be huge in a century.

I doubt there will be a catastrophe associated with climate change. I could be wrong. Since we're not going to stop emitting carbon we'll find out.
Some domain registries won't. But unless that "some" ever becomes "all", IDN attacks will still be possible.
Meh. Musk has no problem handing information to journalists like Matt Taibbi that included personal email addresses, all the better for Taibbi to accidentally publish.

Musk had no problem insinuating that Yoel Roth was a pedophile (as is Musk's style), reportedly forcing Roth into hiding.

Does Musk recognize the ramifications of what he was doing in either case? No. At any rate, it's pretty clear that the "threats to personal safety" is a mask, he clearly is fine with doxxing and threatening other people's public safety... as long as he is the aggressor, not the victim.

This falls apart for 2 reasons. First, I don't think there's any technical definition of "inspiration" that applies to a deeply nested model of numerical weights. It's a machine. A hammer does not draw inspiration from nails that have been hammered in before. Second an AI is not a human under the law and there's no reason to think that an activity that would be considered "transformative" (e.g. learning then painting something similar) when done by a human would still be considered such if performed by an AI.
I know what you mean, but I've been in some actually trashy neighborhoods that could have used a higher floor on the public-facing conduct of its residents. Of course, as other commenters are pointing out, it is a slippery slope that often leads to micromanagement.

I think your "rise in wealth" answer is correct, but note that it is not just people being able to afford a career in the humanities: it's also people who studied STEM/whatever and now have jobs with a bit of free time to spend on reading, or a bit of wealth to donate to keep their culture alive.

> This is why people who claim “I don’t want kids because of global warming” are so incredibly stupid

Just a different explanation for this: If one has a super pessimistic view of effects of global warming in the next 50~100 years, e.g., collapse of civilization, it's reasonable not to have kids to prevent their suffering.
Wait until they hear about what Bill Gates does these days.

It will make a chuffing good effort but fail hilariously in >99% of cases but then people will parade the fraction that make sense.
The moderate climate that we have/had that allowed for agriculture and the dawn of our entire civilization is an outlier on the geological timescale of this planet. We should be doing everything we can to preserve that climate.

Civilization is perpetually 7 days away from collapsing. Once the food chain collapses, in 7 days so does every modern amenity that you take for granted. GDP isn't the end goal, our survival is.

No, Li-Ion batteries can be twice as good:

"In 2003 it was reported the typical range of capacity loss in lithium-ion batteries after 500 charging and discharging cycles varied from 12.4% to 24.1%, giving an average capacity loss per cycle range of 0.025–0.048% per cycle."

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacity_loss)

And that was twenty years ago, things probably have improved. I think you have a wrong impression what is meant with "a battery lasts X cycles". That does not mean that it will be at zero capacity after 'X' cycles, but usually that it is down to ~70% of the initial capacity.

EDIT: Sorry, I missed the "comparatively speaking", so you mean when including the 4x capacity. You are right, of course.
We can and should have empathy for all those people.

The question is perhaps not if we should have empathy for them. The question is what we should do with it once we have it. I have empathy for the cabbies with the Knowledge of London, but I don't think making any policy based on or around that empathy is wise.

This is tricky in practice. A surprising number of people regard prioritizing the internal emotional experience of empathy in policy as experiencing empathy.
Always the grifter.

Because people who write come up with defaults are only human, so they sometimes make bad decisions, and this is one of those times.
In English, the exceptions to the rules are arbitrary and numerous. English is also a moving target. From a logic problem perspective, English grammar is more of a practical brute force endeavor than an interesting one. When I read the article, I was wasn’t comparing the problem to English grammar, but rather comparing it to a logic puzzle that has a perfect solution.
The array focused style enables efficient interaction with the C-written backend of numpy.

You need to adapt your style (in Python) to get these performance gains. In a language like Rust you can write normal, readable code and get the same performance, plus you don't incur the penalty of copying data between the language boundaries.
I agree that we should aim for improving institutions, education, social equity, and health. But I believe this is orthogonal to fighting climate change.
I think the key issue is how the circles or groups work. What is the mechanism for interaction as in the sense of machinery? Zeynep Tufecki in "twitter and teargas" raises this issue using the term affordance. What does twitter afford/provide? It provides a mechanism that is good for flash mob, but not for not for creating new things. So Arab Spring turned into nothing.

What does HN afford? Comments. Is that how a social network works, I don't think so. In my experience comments on HH for example often tend toward negative or off topic.

There was some study quite a while ago talking about how if you had 25 people and asked them to solve a problem the solutions that were provided were much better when 5 groups of 5 people decided, then voted for the best solution. This was compared with one group of 25. Not sure whether there is real science there, but it sounds right to me.

We also live in the time of "cult of personality". Biden. Trump. Musk. Bezos. We follow people. We want to be infuencers. I think this is the result of our social media (and paying for things by advertising). I believe it is antithetical to effective communities. So no cult of personality. (And no advertising :-).

A few times in my life I have been part of something that was bigger than myself. A high school play, a 30 person startup. How do you get that sense?

A surprising truth to me is that I think much better when I am in conversation with sensible people. Not ones with the same opinions, but ones who actually think. I find that even when I immediately reject what they are saying, their thoughts somehow become part of mine. Artist often use the term of other work "informs" theirs and other mental constructs often "inform" my own. To my great benefit.

So for a started I would just ask if people were in agreement that
"the mechanism of the social interaction determines effectiveness of the community"

If you disagree, end of conversation. If you agree then what is your thinking on how that works?

Just my 2cents
I quite often go away and do something else for a while, something that I know I'll enjoy, promising myself that I'd get back on the [big drudge thing] when that's finished, and I usually do.
I'd say we have a moral obligation to help people in poverty. More global wealth makes that easier.

One person's "natural preservation" is another person's status quo bias. Would you consider "natural preservation" to be a valid argument for, say, continuing a tradition that everyone agrees is harmful?

This is so good that I wondered if it's fake. Really impressive results from generated spectrographs! Also really interesting that it's not exactly trained on the audio files themselves - wonder if the usual copyright-based objections wild even apply here.
I'm not sure about the pros and cons of peer review but if anyone is claiming that that are doing science, then they must publish raw data so that others can review it. This was the first thing that jumped out at me after reading "Accelerate" - so many claims that everything based on "data". I don't necessarily disagree with the conclusions in the book but I think really just a formalization of Google's development practices. The book should have been called "How we do things at Google".
I can understand that this information must be real time for aircraft flight control purposes.

Not sure what the laws, requirements or practices say about the entire universe knowing where any aircraft might be in real time. I mean, if a bad guy wanted to aim a SAM at any given aircraft and this data is live and real-time...

Again, I don't know how this works in terms of the law. Opinions don't matter. What's the law?
