But that assumes search just involves document searching for retrieving information.

What about, I don't know, searching for a website with certain functionality/services?

What people really mean when they say LLMs will replace search is that it'll replace Quora/stack overflow/etc, which is clearly not the same thing!
> it doesn't take that many people to create a social change, for better or worse.

It doesn't, but this brings up an interesting question. Is it legitimate to limit speech to prevent social change? I'm sure there were a lot of pro-segregationists that would have loved to prevent the social changes of the 60s and 70s. Would you legitimize their attempts, in exchange for having more tools to fight nazis?
I mean, it happens in stages - I’m already using chatgpt for plenty of useful tasks that I would otherwise google (and then some). Similarly self driving cars are better than humans at plenty of specific things (collision detection/aversion for instance) but not a wholesale replacement of humans just yet obviously.
It has been, it's just slow.

Having users on your network is just as an important part of the product as the backend. You can have the best social networking app out there but if your friends or people you're interested in aren't there you will leave.

Mastodon onboarding has gotten much better but still could be improved, especially in third-party apps.
So now you’re re-implementing React.
That's funny, I got the opposite read from that article and that it's Apple that's operating in bad faith here.

Really though I think what's important is that we should expect help from Apple. It might take EU regulations to force that, but what that really says to me is that as consumer in the US, my bar for what to expect from corporations is set way too low.
The YouTube channel [0] for the Stanford Academic Freedom Conference is a relevant watch. While this conference has been incredibly and unjustly demonized by the media, I'd still urge people to watch it. Despite my disagreement with the political views of some of the panelists, they do bring up sensible points pertaining to free speech in academia, and the threat it's presently facing.

Responses to this argue that when obnoxious nazis show up, we should just act like the nazi, using violent speech if necessary (tell him to "fuck off").

I don't know about you all, but personally I'm interested in participating in civil society most of the time. I don't want to have to get into a violent debate with swearing with fucking nazis, the same I don't want to breath toxic fumes or drive a car to work. I vote for bus stops, I vote for carbon taxes, and I similarly want to leverage our societal mechanisms to not have to act as an individual agent in the ideological war against fascism every single day.

I've learned that obnoxious nazis have an advantage by violating the peace treaty terms of civil society and tolerance, because by definition they don't hold themselves by such rules. Meanwhile those of us that are just trying to live our lives still have these rules and values and are hesitant to abandon them to deal with the nazi for many reasons, not the least of which being we don't want to sink to their level. Not to mention, it's exhausting. For whatever reason the nazis get their rocks off to it, and thus it's less exhausting and more exhilarating. Fine. But the whole point of society is to rubber-band away things like that to create a community of people who at some basic level maintain a level of civility.

When nazis show up, they violate the civility, they violate the peace treaty, and the solution shouldn't be "let them keep walking in and doing it and re-doing the fuck-off debate every time," but rather, close and lock the doors to them, because they've already told us who they are and what they're about.

An oversimplified example: your carpet shop has a rule: no shoes on in the shop. You come in with shoes, you get thrown out. A guy shows up with a shirt on that says "My value is to track as much mud on as many carpets as I can in my life." Do you let him in the door?
I liked Dune a lot when I read it as a child, but on a recent re-read, I found it very shallow. There is never any doubt that the protagonist will triumph, and no real explanation of why he is so physically and mentally superior to everyone he encounters.

Very cool sci fi desert aesthetic though which is its main legacy.
Sinking even one US aircraft carrier would very likely turn into a nuclear war. Sinking multiple carriers definitely would; the US wouldn't stop until the enemy country is completely destroyed, using whatever force is necessary.
Get diet, sleep, and exercise right. If any of these three are off, energy is lower. I wish I could oversell this point a little more, there has been plenty of times over the years I've done something small on days - missed an hours sleep, ate too much, sit around to long without moving -- and my energy level and performance was affected without me realizing it.

I've found the easiest and usually cheapest way to control diet is to cook at home.

Look into the Mediterranean diet, it has consistently come up when researching health. Of course the mere word diet implies temporary, but the right way of eating should perhaps be permanent.

Get a blood test done and have it analysed to determine if anything is off.

Don't get dehydrated and get kidney stones. Drink enough water throughout the day. Sometimes I carry a stainless steel container with me throughout the day so I'm getting enough. Be careful about drinking something else for example two glasses of tea and getting sweaty.

Perhaps find and add some health books to your reading list. One interesting, seemingly irrefutable argument put forth in "The China Study" though the book controversial, was no single ingredient food will give more health as much as focusing on the overall diet for most people. Two good books are "How Not to Die: Discover the Foods Scientifically Proven to Prevent and Reverse Disease" and "On Food and Cooking: The Science and Lore of the Kitchen" are two good ones.
Posted above, but putting it here too:

Phage comes up a lot here - it seems to be on of HN's favorite biology topics.
I have a deep and abiding fondness for phage, but they're not quite as awesome as they seem at first glance. From the perspective of an infectious disease epidemiologist who has been super-interested in phage for my whole career (literally tried to get a job out of undergrad with a phage therapeutics startup):

1) There's no such thing as a "broad spectrum" phage. They're organism specific, and that means not only would you need to keep a phage library on hand, but you'd have to do a lot of diagnostic tests. That's going to be both expensive and tricky. There are treatment guidelines for things like sepsis right now that are basically un-doable with phage therapy because of the time it takes to tune a phage library.

2) Phages are living things. Not only is that a weird regulatory framework to be in for a drug, but it also means that you need to be able to keep phage alive. In contrast, antibiotics are inert.

3) Phage therapy is also relatively new in the West (after being abandoned for some very real, very serious safety concerns back in the day), which means there's just less of a R&D infrastructure behind it.

There have been people working on commercializing phage therapy since I was in undergrad (I'm now a tenured professor). The problem is it's hard, and antibiotics are so much better as a treatment that there's kind of a ceiling on the excitement that they can generate, especially when trying to treat at scale.
It's not a pure "either/or" scenario; augmented intelligence is still a goal (Neuralink, for example), but our progress on upgrading the human brain has been going much more slowly than our progress on upgrading AI.

Many I'll bet. My partner finds it hard to balance on e-scooters and avoids them like the plague. I keep telling her she just needs to practice a bit, but that's the "onboarding experience" for ya.
There is a js proposal to add this to language: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-pipeline-operator

There are few exceptions (namespaces, enums) but typescript has been quite averse to adding non-standard language level features outside type annotations. This feature will likely come to ts after this proposal has been accepted for js.
My god, Microsoft. I used to be a Windows hater for the longest time, emulating the macOS dock on my Linux desktop. I still don't like Windows but have eventually realized that the task bar just makes sense.

Guess that's why it needs to be made worse! First the start button shifting depending on how many apps you have pinned, now the whole task bar in the middle of the screen.

I can only congratulate. Maybe they could try placing it diagonally.
Because it lacks resources to hire people to work on this.
Joinmastodon.org has become much better since a few years ago when I joined. But it still doesn't explain how do I choose between general-focus servers.
when i couldn't find any good search result. i append reddit at the end. and voila i got some good results. even if they are not exact, they tell me what to look for.
Then you are prop drilling. Most projects I work on have hundreds of components and that would get old fast.
I have always wondered -- what makes egress expensive? Are they just trying to keep everything in-house, or is there some real cost to egress?
Having looked at the data on this, the change in antibiotic prescribing was extremely heterogeneous.

It absolutely crashed in some areas, and went up in others.
My two cents running a small to mid-sized email server service.

I do have a global block list based on certain gTLDs.

The list isn't one chosen at random based on the long list of gTLDs out there, but based on real time feedback from my honeypots, and my customer feedback reports, so SPAM getting through the other filtering techniques in use, usually with zero false positives on them.

Many of the gTLDs that are abused the most are ones that had fire sales in the past to get them off the ground.

As mentioned in other replies, .xyz is a SPAMers wasteland. That one would cause the most difficulty getting through anything.

The others that made my block list are probably not ones you would guess.

So, I wouldn't be too worried about things in general. None of the large providers do blocking on gTLD. Only a few smaller ones do. If the domain was sold for $1 getting-off-the-ground, it could have been picked up by the SPAMers cheaply for quick turnaround and abuse.
Does it work that way? I didn’t think so. Or did he mean in the proverbial, if we overuse them we won’t have them for anyone in 30 years?
I wasn't too fond of the books when they were first published (showing my age here), and I don't feel a need to reread them. But here's the fun thing about stories: you can find whatever you'd like in them. As a reader, you are allowed to put part of yourself into the story; it is no longer just the author.

If you want Harry Potter to be a story about queerness, it is yours to make it so. If you want it to be a story about the problems of British education, it is just as much.
You are usually supposed to set your tire pressure when cold (and adjust it seasonally) so that shouldn't be an issue.
That’s not boring food to me! I can cook very exciting meals from what you mentioned. If you meant “avoid junk food” than I agree, but the alternative to processed food doesn’t have to be boring.
I recognize physical harm is separate but that’s why I used the word escalation. I also didn’t imply a direction for the physical harm.

Escalation from speech to physical harm can come in many forms. Like you said, Kanye 2024+antisemitism is a form of stochastic terror, using one persons speech to convince others to cause physical harm. But it can also be emotional abuse that is often not seen by many people that can lead to self harm. Or most simply, it can just be escalation of emotions that leads to mutual physical aggression.

With regards to equality, I don’t think it means that demographics should be evenly split. For one, that’s impossible given the large number of demographics and population variances. But I also think it’s more than equal opportunity.

Equal opportunity only tracks the opportunity to get a job at a superficial level. There’s also the pushing out of non-majority demographics through compounded aggressions. This is quite trackable in many companies and colleges as you can see big differences in percentage shares between career milestones (each year in university, or promotions in companies), but very few companies post it. Netflix and Apple have fairly good reports here

So to that end I’d posit: even if we’ve become better about equality, and agree we should have equal opportunity, are we actually setting up our systems to measure whether we’re being honest about it?

Also to your percentages. I think that is heavily at risk of inverting cause and consequence
...that is not how I've ever heard "the ecological fallacy" used, and this is what I do for a living.
Interval fasting 16:8, which means 2 meals within eight hours, then 16 hours (over night) to the next meal.
So Gmail killed desktop apps because... they launched a web app? With IMAP? Sure.

Native apps are a dying bread and email apps are incredibly complex, making it a terrible business with a few exceptions. Gmail also has the best search and filters you can find in any email app.
It isn't surprising given this rhetoric was created by AI art producers to avoid having to pay for their training sets.
A front end is simply an application that talks to a different application to receive its data instead of processing it directly. It can be as threaded as you like.
Could you provide an example of free expression, not committed to either "enlarging understanding" or "uncovering truth", that would be part of a useful conversation?

(that's a general question; in the particular context of MIT I'd assume the bar would be a useful academic conversation)

He's probably talking about this thread... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34134290
I, too, am suspicious of this statement. It brings to mind the context of the similar one issued by the University of Chicago a few years ago. While the administration was publicly affirming its commitment to free speech, individual departments and organizations within the university were unobstructed in contravening it. My sense is that, at the time, a number of wealthy private schools had made the national news for the nonsense in which their students were engaging. Rich parents started balking at sending their kids to them, so enrollment (and thus vast sums of tuition money) declined. The University of Chicago put out that statement to buttress its public reputation as an elite, exclusive private school without ever enforcing it.

My sense is that this MIT statement serves a similar purpose in that it panders to the sensibilities of parents paying the tuition bills. However, if their conviction is, in fact, sincere, I think there is one good way to demonstrate it --- officially sanction professors and students engaging in behavior contrary to the free expression of their peers. Has MIT ever done this? If not, I cannot think of this announcement as little more than an advertising stunt.
Onboarding to Facebook is fantastic. They've invested billions in finding your friends and people you know and inviting you to befriend them on the app right away, solving the cold start problem which Twitter never managed to do.
For sure. E.g., MLK was seen as outrageously political for challenging a status quo that in retrospect we can see as obviously political ("let's use state violence and unequal treatment to oppress black people").

"You deplore the demonstrations taking place in Birmingham. But your statement, I am sorry to say, fails to express a similar concern for the conditions that brought about the demonstrations."

Scientists and doctors regularly disagree with each other about which treatments are best for patient, how much heavily to regulate pharmaceuticals, etc. And who is right in those debates have far reaching consequences for human life. Thousands of people live or die every year based on those disagreements.

Ignaz Semmelweiss's life is the perfect example of this phenomenon in action, with extreme consequences:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignaz_Semmelweis

He realized doctors were killing their patients by not washing their hands and cleaning their instruments. He devised simple solutions to this problem. The doctors of his day laughed him out of the room and had him committed to an insane asylum where he was effectively tortured to death.

The consensus of medical practitioners at the time was that he was a crank. But he was right. Should he have been imprisoned? Certainly the doctors of his day would have had him banned from social media for "misinformation" if they could have, and they did far worse.

We abide by the principle of free expression not because it causes the least harm in every instance, but because it causes the least harm in expectation. The value of minority viewpoints that are right about important things that the majority is wrong about will always outweigh the harm of harmful speech, in aggregate. And one thing is clear from all of human history: We are not responsible enough to tell the difference ex ante.
"the cops will protect us against authoritarianism" is quite the sizzling hot take, even by HN standards

You drove a bit all the way through the finger? Through the joint/bone? And all you got was a tetanus shot?
I believe swc only compiles TypeScript, but doesn't actually perform any type checking (same as esbuild)? You can make tsc a bit less slow by disabling type checking (it's still slow, but less), but it seems to me that kind of defeats the point of using TypeScript in the first place. It's nice for creating builds, but not very useful during development.
Another choice made by the interpreter is not aligning any of the sides of the triangle vertically. If you took the piano roll and flipped each triangle 90 degrees to the right, you'd get regularly occurring note spam / lots of "chords" with several notes all half-steps away from each other, and it would sound very discordant.
The ideal joinmastodon.org page for me would look like this:

The statement says "MIT does not protect direct threats, harassment, plagiarism, or other speech that falls outside the boundaries of the First Amendment." So if the nazi at the bar starts threatening or harassing people, they're out.

If I were writing the statement, I probably would've added "intimidation" in that sentence. Then I'd kick the nazi out if they're using slurs, or if they self-identify as a nazi (e.g. wearing a swastika).

It gets tricky though, because if you add "intimidation" then someone can say "people who disagree with me are intimidating me". (I suppose they can also say "people who disagree with me are harassing me" with the current policy.)

My basic approach for dealing with this problem would be to utilize the fact/value distinction. Free expression of fact statements is much more important than free expression of value statements, because knowing the truth is important.

The threshold for censoring a value statement, like "The lives of <X people> don't matter" or "<X people> should be enslaved", should generally be lower. If someone claims that such a statement intimidates or harasses them, their claim will often be credible.

But for a fact statement, if someone's notion of "harassment" is so broad as to make it impossible to express a particular factual claim without engaging in "harassment", I'd say they're not complaining in good faith.

It's OK to argue that a particular delivery of a factual claim constitutes harassment (e.g. if the delivery is peppered with slurs). But the complainer should always be able to re-express the factual claim in a way that makes it no longer "harassment" to them.
Anyone know whether its terminal "SEND" mode that works with the RS-232C port... supports cursor-addressing?

Tailpipes are only a small part of car-based pollution. When it comes to particles emitted from tires, EVs are much worse offenders than many internal combustion cars.

There's just no way to keep current use of private cars and achieve climate goals. Even if EVs would be magically twice as efficient as they are, just having a car is disastrous to the future of our planet, hence we should put efforts into reducing the need for cars, rather than trying to shave a few grams of particulate matter.
I don't, and I wonder if using one would make the experience of bookmarking things valuable enough that I would prefer it over my current Ctrl+D and forget approach.

I think the problem is I'm too used to remembering the magic incantations used to search for something I need somewhere.
Semmelweis's lies demonstrably (according to contemporary experts) hurt the reputation of the entire medical establishment of his day. Fortunately, back then, they had the recourse to put him in an insane asylum.
Libel is legal until a court declares that it isn't and I wouldn't want it to be legal for people to be charged with libel without a court proceeding.

Death threats are considered to be an intent to act so there is probable harm and the person is usually charged criminally to prevent them from doing what they said they would.

However, saying you hope someone dies is not a crime and as much as I think it incites some bad emotions is considered free speech. Hopefully we can live in a society where people just act like normal adults and the ones saying outlandish things are not given a lot of attention.
From that link: “ In the end, Sega chose to go down a different route than what was originally planned - bundling simple operating systems within the discs themselves. Running games through Windows CE was still an option for developers, but most games used Sega's proprietary software instead. The limited adoption of Windows CE is often blamed on console programmers lacking the experience to deal with the OS, and a lack of advantages that Windows CE offered over the competition.”

It doesn’t by default boot to CE. It /is/ an option though. But it doesn’t boot it from an internal ROM.

What? Of course there is, in the United States and many other countries. Protected classes are explicitly defined by the Civil Rights Act, Americans with Disabilities Act, and others. The bar owner can't refuse entry to a person because they are of a certain ethnicity, for example. But they absolutely can refuse entry to them for being a Nazi, or for any other attribute not protected in law.
