> If you have assets in an un-audited exchange, get them out now.

This is Mexican standoff. The only "value" crypto assets have comes from exchanges that will trade them for fiat. If crypto holders stop trusting exchanges and pull all their assets that will cause the exchanges to fail and those assets will then be worth nothing. On the other side if exchanges try to earn the trust of holders by becoming "fully transparent" it will be revealed that there's not nearly enough fiat reserves to support the current valuations. (It does no good for Binance to prove they have a reserve of $18B of Tether to back the $18BN BUSD marketcap if turns out Tether is actually mostly backed by Bitcoin that only has a USD value because it can be traded for BUSD...)

As an Australian, with solar panels, and a not-too-terrible feed in tariff, I'm hoping we can cram more energy production in to less space from solar so that I can upgrade my system in the decade to come, hopefully to match the hybrid I'd like to buy that doesn't yet exist :)
I very much disagree, the discoverability with a search interface is terrible. With a menu bar even the most computer-illiterate troglodyte (e.g. me) can just go oh, it says "Help" there, I'll click it without having to worry about my one neuron overheating.

EDIT: I think the best option is taking the golden middle road and having a menu bar which can be searched through, kind of like Unity has.

Are those papers breakthroughs in understanding human cognition? It feels like there must be some philosophical underpinning to creating human-like intelligence.

I suppose there are two approaches: 1) understand the brain in all its complexity 2) wander upon something that seems like human cognition but isn’t (i.e. GPT)

Carmack and everyone else is taking the latter approach. Carmack may end up building something that seems intelligent — if that’s what you mean by intelligence.

Consider Chomsky’s view on current AI. He may disagree with me but he certainly disagrees with the idea that actual intelligence or something like AGI will result from current efforts.

See the chapter on deep learning in this interview with Chomsky: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cMscNuSUy0I

If you type in AI and Chomsky into YT you’ll see many relevant interviews. The web summit one might be the most recent.

I was also surprised by how suboptimal avr-gcc's generated code is. On the other hand, the AVR experience is reminiscent of early DOS, terrible C compilers and all, so it remains nostalgic!

Two examples: https://gcc.godbolt.org/z/M4oasdK4a

* Population count: I haven't found a way to convince AVR-GCC to use LSR's shift into carry with ADC.

* Strength reduction: AVR doesn't have a barrel shifter, so it's a huge win to incrementally shift during the loop. AVR-GCC doesn't see this.

The article is part of the problem. UK politics and the media narratives around it have beeen utterly wrecked by the fight over Brexit and the attempts to give its creators the boot. For example, take this claim: "Investment is down and inflation higher than it would have been inside the European Union." The UK's inflation in the year to November 2022 was 10.7%, compared to 10.1% in the Eurozone. It just doesn't seem at all plausible that the UK would somehow have substantially lower inflation if it were in the EU, based on what countries actually in the EU have experienced, yet it's treated as so obviously true that only lying Brexiters would reject it.

This belief is boosted by the fact the British press only ever compares our inflation with France, which has the lowest inflation in Europe due to substantial nuclear generating capacity and energy subsidies funded through borrowing. Our government was attacked for attempting even a fraction of those energy subsidies to the point they did a U-turn because ultimately the public pays for it, but that downside is ignored when talking about France. They also also have substantially more national debt for obvious reasons... but luckily the UK national debt is usually only compared with Germany's.
The organizations that need this for compliance reasons likely don't care about that. This is likely going to be a very niche feature (in the grand scale of all Gmail users) that really only exists so that it can be sold to large enterprises.
My sense is that German automotive companies dealt with Japanese competition better than American ones did, though I'd love for someone who knows about the history of the industry to chime in. Germany had strong unions and was a market leader then, similar to the US, so it suggests something was wrong with American automakers, labor unions, or the American government that led to the disaster.

I wonder if Germany was more aggressive with tariffs to protect automakers from competition.
> this is day 0. Only looking forwards, how do you thrive economically in the 21st century under these current conditions with the cards you have to play

Counterpoint: how do you avoid repeating the mistakes of the past and learning from them by pretending they never happened?
Apple turned phones into status symbols and some people really will look down on you if you don't have the newest iphone or worse, any model at all of an android device. Apple also made batteries irreplaceable and forced iphones to slow down as they aged which I'm sure didn't hurt. Not everybody is buying into it, but I've seen both adults and children genuinely struggle with the social pressure they faced to have only the newest and most expensive iphone at all times and it was just depressing.

When I was a child, nobody cared what phone you were using. You generally didn't care either as long as it could be used out of earshot of the rest of the family. For all the problems cell phones cause us, at least it's been a long time since kids had to suffer the pain of having to stand in their family's kitchen for every telephone conversation with friends and romantic partners.
How do they plan to deal with the neutrons though? Won’t it damage the equipment?

You are misinterpreting my words. I can assure you I have no intention to imply that you personally are suggesting monstrous policies. I am saying that once we learn certain details and facts all that we all are left with that can change population levels are monstrous policies. I hope the difference is clearer now. To be as clear as possible: I'm presenting an argument with facts that you or any other reader here may or not be aware of (I really have no way to know!) that if we accept them as being true (I think they are but am wide open to evidence to the contrary) that lead to the conclusion that there is nothing we (humanity not you) can ethically do about the projected population of the world for the next century or so.

In summary, chill my friend. I bear you no ill will at all!
Regulations and laws around liability should be technology neutral and based on historical facts. Every time we have a flood from a hydroelectric dam, the insurance per tw/h generated from hydroelectricity should be increased. Every time a forest fire is triggered by the electricity grid, those units that depend on the guilty equipment should have their insurance increased based on tw/h generated from those units. Same should apply to nuclear, adjusted to the tw/h generated.

Obviously same apply to fossil fuels. When they cause illness and air pollution their insurance to pay for those external costs should go up. When we have extreme weather or rising water temperature, insurance should go up. Anywhere in the world where historically a electricity generated unit create an external cost to society, we should make a note of it and tally it up.

Sadly we won't see those electricity generated sources paying out, but it would be good to have a factually number of how much they in theory should be paying and thus what the theoretical costs to society is when we use, maintain and construct new capacity. That way we can reason around what has more external cost to society and what has less. We can form a number on how much extra a consumer should be paying based on what energy mix they consumed.
You can just randomize the string and pixelize that, it should look roughly the same aesthetically without leaking any information.
Fair enough. I mean it’s one line in CMD, but I do see your point.

That said, maybe Joe Bloggs is better off. If he’s not savvy enough to know the difference / be able to Google around it, he might be better of with an online account given he’ll probably not understand why certain things don’t work the same on his machine or care about the implications of taking his account online.
English is the lingua franca within Europe as well. And last I checked Europe displays a similar obsession with US politics as the UK does. How many Germans bother to learn Polish or Greek or whatever, who do not have family ties there?

The reason british people don't learn languages is that it is not economically beneficial for them to do so. But otherwise, I don't think it is the case that in Europe everybody is enlightened and aware of each other's national politics and culture and Britain uniquely is somehow ignorant of other countries.

It was another "first" of its kind as it was the first interactive theme park game [....] But before it could be rolled out in the Six Flags parks (1st one was slated for Texas), Bally sold the Six Flags division in 1987, and the project fell into a corporate black hole [....]

Super good question. My thesis has both G2 and G4 continuous splines based on polynomial spirals ("spiro curves"), and the G4 definitely has more "wiggles," ie sensitivity to perturbations of the inputs. I imagine there is likely a general principle trading off locality with continuity, but am not able to quantify that rigorously.
The timeless problem is when the n% confidently declare they know what’s best and impose their perspective on everyone else. The most common way I see this happen is the pitfall of someone assuming everyone experiences something the same way they do.

It's kind of in between. There's no manifesto other than the site guidelines (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html), which leave out a ton of information—we keep them brief in the hope that people will actually read them. But there's a trove of knowledge about all of this embedded in past moderation comments, which is why I constantly post HN Search links. I realize it's not a convenient format at all, but you can learn a lot if you start with those links and then tweak the searches either by adding terms or excluding them (as in "-foo"). If you (or anyone) do that and still have questions which I haven't answered in the past, I'd be interested in hearing the questions.

It's my intention to distill a bunch of those explanations into a set of loose commentaries on how HN and HN moderation work. But it's the sort of thing that never rises above the middle of the todo list. Maybe one day.

They’ve staked their personal financial success, and often professional credibility, on other people giving them lots of money in exchange for easily-replaced random numbers. The only way that works is if they can continually recruit buyers.

The greatest challenge here is a prospective customer thinking analytically about the benefits because for most people the answer is either zero or negative. If you present it in this quasi-mystical form the claims are conveniently resistant to analysis since they rely on things like conspiracies or massive societal shifts, and keeping things emotional is a good way to get buyers to overrule their critical thinking skills. It’s the same thing you see for related industries like goldbugs or preppers, only this time with billions of VC dollars giving much better production values.
There are Ethereum rollups which basically work like that. There is a 7 day window to post a fraud proof.
There are plenty of examples of Reductio ad absurdum being a fallacy because of a false or inadequate premise. Zeno’s paradox[1] being a famous one. The false premise being that you can actually add infinite number of times (modern mathematics take the limit as n approaches infinity).

Here the prime candidate for the premise being wrong is to equate the work of carpenter working in their own enterprise at a project, to that of a google worker, working at Google’s enterprise for any project their management tells them to.

The former gets the fruit of their labor in full when the job is finished and paid for, the latter is suffering from a systematic exploitation as each time the stock goes up in price (or when dividends are issued) the shareholders get the fruits of the worker’s labor, as opposed to the workers them selves.

A terrible mining accident/dam failure, not a storage issue of radioactive structural material. Now go ahead and compare deaths from mining accidents and dam failures from other sources of energy to those associated with nuclear fuel. What do you think the result would be when a nuclear reactor requires hundreds of thousands of times less fuel than any conventional reactor does or hundreds of thousands tons less of concrete and steel and rare elements than renewable generation does?

Mining accidents kill some ~10,000 people every year. Mining coal is a large portion of that. The worst damn failure killed 170,000 people.

If you don't like deaths from mining accidents then an energy source with millions of times the energy density is far superior. If you don't like deaths from dam failures then maybe putting a dam on every river isn't the greatest idea either.
