> Put so many shirts that you can’t see and barely move?

Don't argue the metaphor. I know that you understand the general idea.

Yep, "My" solution is "put this clothes in your own body instead to burn them, and will warm you for a much much, longer time". Hardly original or controversial.

If the options are ridiculous but alive or stilish and frozen, seems an easy choice
Is causing trouble not really terrorism? What if the scale changes from 14,00 to someone taking down key pieces of the power grid and NYC goes without power for a day? If this happened in my neighborhood I’d want the authority in charge to absolutely treat this or any attack on infrastructure as terrorism.
> Strictly speaking, they did - but then for a time in the West (70s to about ten years ago) they just observed sex at birth and indoctrinated against the social imposition of normative gender expectations …

Nope, that didn’t happen. Socially ascribed gender, with important social consequences (most importantly, ones coercively imposed by, or with support of, the power of government), did not go away.

If it had, though, the grounds for the dispute would be somewhat different, but the overall character would be the same, since the side opposing ascribing gender in accord with identity is also fairly universally in favor of coercive discrimination and/or segregation on the basis of (their preferred form of) ascribed gender, which is a fairly central point of their argument.

> You would be scarcely rubbing two sticks together rather than browsing HN if we did not extract resources.

There is a chasm between "we do not need to extract every last resource we find" and "no resource extraction".

> Damaging a marginal piece of Earth in and of itself does not matter in any existential sense, the only thing that does is long term survival.

I would prefer not just to merely survive, but still have the fish and the birds and the insects intact as well. It's not about one piece of "marginal land" (whatever that means), but about our desire to scrape every last piece of this earth clean to extract everything we can. In any case you said "Mining exploration of any kind impacts ecosystems, what of it?" and I answered your question. There are environmental costs at play and they should be considered and balanced against our need to continue consuming more and more of the planet's surface.

> The most rapid viable intervention in the near term is lowering growth, by expanding access to contraceptives, and other incentives.

Actually the people who already have contraceptives use the most resources, so instead of pointing fingers at "them" we would do well to look at our own resource consumption.
I also attended Chicago event a few years ago. I absolutely loved it, including the city of Chicago. My favorite part was accidentally having lunch with one of the attendees who happened to a speaker. https://gerrymcgovern.com/

I feel like UX as a discipline has changed so much particularly in the past few years that I've lost my love for it leading me to leave my job couple months ago to take a break.

To me, the Event Apart / A List Apart represent the golden days. While I'm sure the latter will live on, I will miss the Event Apart.
> If only there were a way that we could have foreseen that an AI trained to write code in part by looking at people who, self-admittedly, don’t know how to write code, and people who write code for others with minimal context (Stack Overflow), would produce buggy code. It is a case of GIGO.

So, I'll claim the real issue is just that this generation of AI isn't able to "learn", it merely "trains": if I were alone in a room for years and you gave me a book on how to program that has an error in it, during my careful study of the book (without a computer to test on!), I am likely to notice the error, get annoyed at the author trying to figure out if I failed to understand some special case, and then eventually decide the author was wrong. With only the knowledge from the book, I will also be able to study the concepts of programming and will eventually be able to design large complex systems; again: I will be able to do this even if I don't have a computer, in the same way people have studied math for millennia.

And like, this is how we all learned to program, right? The books and tutorials we learn to program with often suck; but, after years dedicated to our craft synthesizing the best of what we learn, we not only can become better than any one of the sources we learned from, given enough time to devote to practice and self-study we can become better than all of them, both combined and on average (and if we couldn't, then of course no progress could ever be made by a human).

With a human, garbage in can lead to something fully legitimate out! A single sentence by someone saying "never do X, because Y can happen, where Y is extremely important" can cause us to throw out immense amounts of material we already learned. Somewhere, GitHub Copilot has seen code that was purposefully documented with bugs (the kind we use to train humans for "capture the flag events") as well as correct code with comments explaining how to avoid potential bugs... it just didn't "give a shit", and so it is more likely to do something ridiculous like generate code with a bug in it and a comment explaining the bug it just generated than to generate correct code, because it doesn't have any clue what the hell it is doing and isn't analyzing or thinking critically about the training input.

> Even if AI could generate correct, bug-free code the majority (say 99.9% of the time), I expect finding and correcting bugs will be difficult for humans.

There is some error rate below which you beat the chance of a human making a dumb mistake just because they are distracted or tired, and at that point the AI will just bear the humans. I don't know if that is 99.9% or 99.9999% (it might be extremely tight, as humans generate thousands and thousands of individual decisions in their code every work session), but past that point you are actually better off than the current situation where I first program something myself and then hire a team of auditors to verify I coded it correctly (and/or a normal company where someone is tasked to build something and then every now and then someone like me is hired to figure out if there are serious mistakes).
The Foundational Tech Manifesto: The Path to America 2.0
How do we bring about “America 2.0”—a future where every American has the opportunity to flourish and the U.S. is leading the world in building, implementing, and sharing foundational technologies?

The goals of this manifesto are to make the case for 1) defining and proliferating the meme “foundational tech” and for 2) defining and developing an “American foundational tech ecosystem”—where foundational tech is technology that can greatly enable, preserve, and accelerate human or ecological flourishing; technology that can serve as foundational building blocks of a radically more resilient, self-sustaining, and dynamic America.

These arbitration rules superceding class action is a fairly new phenomenon, and stems from an att v concepcion. A guy I met clerked for a judge that decided that case, and wrote most of the decision and he said that he regretted it enormously. Despite just being the mouthpiece of his pos judge, he sees his words quoted over and over denying exploitation. The whole premise is insane, and guts class actions.
Forgive me if I’m misinterpreting your post but are you implying that republicans are marginalized? A group of predominantly white cisheteronormative Christians is the marginalized group? I don’t buy that for a second.
They do exactly what you want: engage with you, even though you seem to have already made up your mind about the desired outcome (which you aren't going to get). And then you tell them to move on with their life? That's pretty rude.

To me this whole thread looks like a way to social engineer your way around getting your articles flagged in spite of that being the most democratic mechanism to keep HN on track.
> there is most certainly a climate emergency

For what it's worth, I'd most strongly disagree with your use of the phrase "there is most certainly" there. There's nothing objective in science that declares what an "emergency" is. Deciding whether or not any situation is an emergency can never be the result of any science experiment.

IMO, most disagreements about "science" that crop up about contentious topics aren't really science disagreements, they're subjective risk-management disagreements.

Two people can look at the objective statistics about a situation and one person might see it as an emergency and one might not. They're technically both right because this is subjective in nature.

Put simply: PDF content is common enough on the web that it should be viewable as a webpage without having to jump out of the browser app. It breaks the user experience and for searches that may return many pdf results, the minor hassle becomes a major impairment (having to jump between two apps now). It is the case for all desktop browsers for many years now and ios that they open in browser first, so why should it be any different for Android?

I see the utility in you having an external app to view your pdf's (especially longform books in pdf would be best opened in a dedicated ebook reader app), but there is no consistent user experience on Android, each vendor has their own bundled apps, and some may not even bundle their own app.

Analyzing the LastPass Hack
> The AI has no idea how this particular case differs from the sample code it was trained on

It can eventually figure a lot of things out if you provide the correct requirements and examples. However, the caveat with all of this is that you already have to be a good programmer to:

- know what is needed

- know what the solution should more or less look like

- spot bugs in the AI's solution

- describe the problem, examples etc in a way that the AI can work with

If you're already a good programmer, the time spent wrangling the AI could be spent writing the solution yourself.

My feeling is that the most value from AIs will come from when you get hopelessly stuck on a problem. An AI could provide some initial steps or ideas that can get you unstuck, effectively working as a rubber ducky. You're unlikely to copy the AI's solution, but it could provide some random insight that helps you take a step forward.

Amazon I think is the third largest demand side platform, where advertisers spend money buying ads outside of the Amazon owned and operated sites.

> But Amazon then went a step further, expanding its on-site ads business beyond its own shopping site. “Across the wider digital universe, they use that data set to empower brands and the advertisers to buy better, to spend more effectively and drive return on ad-spend,” said Prior.

Same with Microsoft, they own xandr which is a similar size.

'Tis true. Even sixty years ago, kids (7 or 8 and older) walked long distances in cities to school and then hung out in packs for hours 'till the streetlights came on. Not every day but a lot.

I was mistaken. It's not the A7, It's the A72. This is the quote from Eben in Issue 83 (the winter 2022 issue) of Make:Magazine:

"The main things holding RISC-V back in the traditional Raspberry Pi/[Arm] Cortex-A market are a lack of available high-end licensable cores - I don't think I can go out and get anything that's competitive with the Cortex-A72 in Raspberry Pi 4, for example -- and a lack of software maturity in the Linux userland"

I suspect that the 'competitive metric' is a combination of price, performance and manufacturing availability.
It does seem imaginable to have Android-specific browsers support a common superset of the "nominal/desktop" browser js api. Reference to Hyperview not specifically required, but an enabler for such.

Security issues of course, so specific pages/sites might need permissions, as with webserial etc.

I've been looking for something like this; I've described it as "Paradox for DOS for sqlite". Simple TUI for CRUD operations with foreign key enforcement. Libreoffice as a toolkit, so it becomes "Paradox for windows for sqlite" would be OK.. :P

Not a webapp. Something you can run inside a git checkout, and get an essentially equivalent UX in any terminal. I'd expected that Python would be rife with such projects, but it seems that "Just build a webapp with my favorite toolkit" is a solution that satisfies most of the itches.

Arbitration does not have precedent, so each case has to be argued separately and can have different outcomes. On top of that burden and can have fee-shifting provisions that set a significant hurdle to pay upfront costs on the employee. Class action waivers are bullshit.

> Some people might take it at face value and end up with dozens if not hundreds of services

You're worried that someone junior enough to run with random advice is going to be able to rearchitect their entire codebase into hundreds of microservices and deploy it to production without testing its performance/stability/etc?

I think they should try. It's a great way to learn why, and why not.

> many people out there would probably agree with the claim that some general advice can definitely be dangerous.

It's just mouth noises which aren't dangerous. We need to be able to hear other people's opinions (advice is just an opinion after all) without immediately adopting it.

Only way I know to get $/port much cheaper than $50-75 is to pick up a used Arista on eBay, there are typically 48-port 10GE models going for ~$400-500. That's what I use to drive 10GE ports where I don't need 802.3bt.

There are significant tradeoffs that you may not tolerate:

(1) They are very noisy (vs. the Flex XG which is fanless) so if your "Tech" is anywhere near your living space, this may be unworkable;

(2) They consume lots of power and also don't do 802.3{af,at,bt} for PoE either, you can solve PoE using an injector (for a few ports), a midspan (for more ports) but note that injectors/midspans usually don't support NBase-T and if you want the combination of 2.5/5/10GE and PoE you might be back to buying a specific switch which can do that;

(3) Learning curve is steeper than unmanaged or most semi-managed switches and you likely need to be comfortable with serial consoles to get them configured.

With all those and likely more tradeoffs considered, they are ~$10/port!
Ideally they would give us every single hop, and we could just block anything we don't like. I don't want to receive any calls, texts, voicemails from any VOIP number or any number that has a hop outside of the US (or maybe Canada). I have family outside the US, but we communicate using other technology.

If there is any provider at any point that drops any of the info, they should be blocked as well. Just as I am able to subscribe to uBlock Origin lists to automatically online ads, I should be able to subscribe to lists of malicious providers to automatically stop spammers

But even using the current tech, why is anything less than A-grade attestation reaching my phone? As a user of a phone, I do not care if some sketchy phone company can't get their shit together; in fact I consider that to be a good indicator that such a company is a source of spam. Why let them contact me at all?
Kay and his collaborators shipped Smalltalk, which was pretty widely used at one time, and which was also highly influential on Objective-C, the language of choice for OS X/macOS and iOS from 1996 to the introduction of Swift in 2014 (many devs are still using Objective-C).

I think the problem gets much more complex, and I would assume that moving from pine ridge (and similar places) - one would find that their rent increases more than 400%.
I am assuming that living there grants access to transportation in some regard, as well as community mentors that help with how to live and what can be done when something tragic happens.
Moving is more than the cost in dollars to get from point A to point B - and living somewhere in the states could yield a worse life for people even if they suddenly increased income by 400%.
Last report I saw listed 8 counties (?) where you could pay rent on minimum wage (?) - I think it was a few in New Mexico and western Oregon - not sure this is still true - but you may need more than a job and rent if moving to these places - cars and other things may be necessary.
I also don't know how many people could move to these last few places before all the available housing was taken and prices go up, and all the basic jobs are taken and people start working under the table for less, bringing the average wage down.
The shortage of housing in this country is crushing so many, and that's without the other tough things being considered.

How will they be able to keep purely AI-generated outputs from being fed back in as inputs? That seems hard to separate out once it’s published and not attributed. The ability of AI to generate lots of output means it might swamp human or cyborg outputs when looking at the corpus of publicly searchable code (or blog posts, or whatever the training data is for the case in question).

Maybe a GAN to detect and filter out AI-generated content? Not sure if that’s possible or not.
