going by pretty much every objective metric this has been a disaster for the US school system with how it changed teaching to be about hitting certain federally defined goals rather than actually teaching students
The problem with jobs being replaced by machines is that historically, there have always been other jobs that either (a) people could switch into that were still somewhat fulfilling or failing that, (b) at least the next generation could switch into.

However, we have never tested the "limiting case" of this phenomenon, where there is a machine (AI) that is so good that it could take over most jobs. Are we there yet? No, but we are not far off either.

Now, I'm not saying this is inevitable, but we have to ask the question: what if we CAN get to the limiting case where the only jobs left are a few coveted technical jobs or manual labor? Is there even a remote possibility that this could happen? I believe it's likely, and if it is, then what are we going to do?

The best-case scenario is some sort of UBI scheme where most people don't work, but if you think about it, that's actually a horrible thing because most people need some kind of purpose in life, and very few people can find their purpose independently from a system which allows them to trade their comparitive advantages for those of others.

Concluding, IBM's CEO is despicable of the highest order. He might be right in that AI taking your job is good for the economy, but if we unpack that statement, it basically means that AI is good as a mechanism to make our system more efficient for concentrating wealth into his pocket at the cost of long-term stability.
I often wish we could abolish 24/7 cable news altother. When breaking news happens, we hear the same breaking news headline for the next 24 hours like it is a new event.
Well, I know with better source than HN that combat aircrafts are mostly useless due to "proper" air defence missiles.

But combat aircrafts are still usefull in uneven conflicts, namely when one side has really weak air defence, or even none. It is a similar issues with tanks.

I’ve listened to hours of Carter talking and never once had this impression.
A hot air soldering station is an absolute must for SMT work, in my opinion. You can get "all-in-one" stations with a soldering iron, infrared plate, and hot air, very affordably. This is the one I use: https://www.xtronicusa.com/X-Tronic-5040-XR3-Hot-Air-Rework-...

Using another mouse movement sensor and ignoring one dimension might be simpler for DIY.

I don't understand how to get the stepped motion of the Kensington scroll rings and most mouse wheels. Maybe it has bumps to move past.
Thanks, I signed up and will be back to play with more things as this promising project progresses. I can imagine a lot of features on the roadmap that take this pretty far from what it is today.
Article in search of a problem IMO. It can't even articulate what the 'misconception' is in the first paragraph. It uses fancy words but misses its points for fluff.

>We’re convinced these tools might be the superintelligent machines from our stories because, in part, they’re trained on those same tales.

That's it. That's the only mention of the 'misconception' the entire article is based on. Really confused what this article is trying to accomplish.

Most rehab places hire people who have gone through the experience and been homeless to teach and support just these sorts of things. Many places make people take turns cooking/serving/cleaning so they learn those skills. I feel like you are discrediting some amazing people who are barely out of homelessness themselves, who make minimum income, and are already treated very poorly by the clients they try so hard to help. There are some amazing people that truly do care. It's not all soulless. And this is from someone who forcibly went through and hates most of the system.
Didn’t someone already make digital waifu which he became obsessed with? We might be closer than 29. I also think Kurzweil fails to give sufficient weight to the possibility of rapid progression from AGI to ASI. Artificial General Intelligence will have the ability to expand and self improve basically without limits (if you disagree consider chat gpt can program in every language, AGI could choose to skip languages entirely and self train on binaries allowing for instant and utterly inscrutable self modification. The runaway effects of that process will follow an exponential curve. It wasn’t so much that she abandoned us as she transcended. I just wonder what God will do when she looks us in the face. Hopefully she doesn’t turn away in disgust, or turn with a shove.
I understand. However, the emphasis of my question is on your current viewpoint of the feminist policies at the workplace. How has having a son changed that? Did it change it at all?

When I was younger and older male mentor told me this. He told me that many people don't know this but while society paints a picture of men being bumbling fools trying to crack the code that is this mysterious creature called a woman, the truth is actually the other way around.

Men understand women better than women understand men.

He said that both sexes are equally complex and very different but the cultural stereotype occurs because men have a strong desire to understand a woman while women simply view men through the most stereotypical lens possible without caring to understand anything deeper.

He told me that it is a mans job to take care of a woman, to look after her needs and to be her rock. He told me to never to fully reveal the full truth of what a man is to a woman... that a man is in actuality a creature who is sensitive... with wants and needs and vulnerabilities. He said not to reveal any of this to another woman because the relationship a man has with a woman is more like a father to a daughter, the father cannot reveal the full reality of what he is to his daughter because it is frightening to her to know the full truth of what he faces outside of her world. If part of this truth is revealed during courtship the woman will find this aspect of a man despicable and disgusting, and moves on to another man that appears stronger.

He also said to not get confused when a woman says she wants a sensitive man. He stated that she doesn't want a "sensitive" man, mainly what she is saying is that she wants a man "sensitive" to her needs.

He believed that women simply don't care to understand men for what they really are. They don't want to and they aren't suppose to either. I think by suppose to he meant that this is biology... standard human behavior.

He did tell me that what he told me was just a generality. He said occasionally I might encounter a woman who truly understands the psychology of men and he said usually that woman is a mother who has a son and has seen what her son has to go through growing up. Your son hasn't fully grown up yet, so I don't know how much of this applies to you.

If he were telling this to you, I think he would say that an aspect of your son lives inside your husband but your husband and every man is in actuality hiding this aspect from you and their respective spouses.

Would you say this is true? Would a lot of what's going on with modern society simply a lack of understanding?

Why is this work worth more money than Google is currently paying?

This is not a job that requires rare or difficult to acquire skills, nor is there a shortage of people willing to do the work.

The main subject — who appears to work from home and set his own hours — complains that his hourly wage is $2 less than his daughter working in fast food.

I’d argue she has a much more demanding job.
Gotta start somewhere. I've been doing electronics prototyping, and some light manufacturing, for 40+ years. In that time, the technology has changed dramatically. Had I tried to keep a fully equipped shop throughout that time period, I'd be broke today. Instead, I choose my battles in terms of what technologies I want to work with, and what tools I need.

Likewise with bicycle tools and music gear. ;-)

Nonetheless, your list contains many things that a person is likely to want or need, and that are not exorbitant or too big for a small shop. My surface mount tooling is still fairly limited, and I don't own a logic analyzer. I do share many tools with my regular household tool set.

Another thing I'd mention is a basic stereoscopic inspection microscope, like maybe 10x, or adjustable if you want to splurge. Maybe it's my age, but vision aids are close to the top of my must-have tools. Nothing is getting bigger.
Show HN: Sora, Personal Publishing Platform
We wanted to create, to express ourselves without being judged either by strangers or some algorithm. We wanted our own space on the internet, where our photos and words would matter.

So we started to build an app that can showcase our content, without having to pick a platform. You can use Sora to publish a few different content types.

- Blog
- Polaroid
- Poster
- Microblog

You can either display them all on your Sora profile as a summary (like mine https://topcat.sora.city), or put any of them forward for the world to see.

We plan to run this app for a long time and looking for feedback, so let us know what you think! (feedback@sora.city, or link on website)

This is a rather wrong view on who exactly the West supported in Afghanistan.

The Mujahideens the West supported became the Northern Alliance. The NA allowed girls to go to school. The NA was also allied with Iran and didn't persecute the Shia population of Afghanistan.

Unfortunately the NA lost the later Afghan civil war to the Saudi/Pakistan backed Taliban.

Also the rise of radical Islam has more to do with Arab countries and Israel than a Central Asian country that is culturally and geopolitically more connected to India than the Middle East.
There are many replies and replies-to-those-replies listed, but nothing I would call “thoroughly rebutted”.

I’m particularly unimpressed by the amount of hand-waving packed into replies that want us to assume a “simulated neuron”.
You definitely could. But I think there are more computers with web browsers than there are computers that can read encrypted Microsoft Word documents.
In the early 90s IPX/SPX was more common for LANs than the IP stack. It required much less configuration. Managing IP addresses in the days before DHCP was a hassle, while IPX just used MAC addresses directly. It also was just a simpler protocol. This was in the days of DOS where the driver had to run as a TSR the lower 640KiB memory area, so the driver size mattered.

In the later 90s IP pushed it out, partly due to Novel Netware fading away, and partly because IPX didn't scale to large networks the way IP can.
Steam does not enforce digital rights management unless the distributer wants it. Many games that can be executed from their own directories without Steam even active agree with this. Steam is first and foremost a software distribution platform.

This copying concept has actually been possible by hand for some time, whether by using the Backup feature or by way of just copying data from the commons directory of the installation.
In my experience, it's women who have lost sons or husbands to suicide or gang violence who are among the most likely to offer and advocate for support for at-risk men.

Voltage is just a potential, like gravity. Even at thousands of volts you would still need just 5 volts to operate equipment in the usual way. Communicating between large voltages can be done with fibre optic (i'm guessing) or wifi.
>Solder suckers are nice when they work, though!

They are great things once you learn their quirks.

Cut a notch in the nozzle that is slightly smaller than your iron's tip, a few uses will mold that notch to your iron's tip so you can keep the iron on the joint when sucking without affecting the seal.

Add more solder to the joint before sucking, this will help get a good seal as the sucker's tip will sit in that solder. The sucker will have no issues getting the excess.

Don't force sucked solder out through the nozzle, if the piston is more difficult than normal to depress than unscrew the end to clear the solder, forcing it through will only distort the nozzle and shorten its life.

Take the time to clean and lubricate at the end of the day. Bits of solder which get trapped in the sucker chew up the o-rings and ruins the vacuum. Take it apart, run a small stiff bottle brush through the body a few times to remove any solder, remove any solder in the nozzle, clean the plunger. Apply petroleum jelly to all threads and the plunger, reassemble.

If function quickly degrades after cleaning/lubricating than your o-rings are worn, replace them. O-rings are cheap, keep a supply on hand.
The value they individually provide is minuscule; it only matters in aggregate, and when leveraged by others who bring a great deal more to the table.

Anyone of average IQ and education could do this work, and there’s no shortage of people willing to do it.
ackshually babbage’s difference engine was a commercial and scientific computer so I think you’ll find that’s where this all actually began, if you really understand the roots of the technology

but oh no those trig tables were used for military ballistics, I am le owned!!!

like sorry dude yes everyone here knows computing has always been intertwined with quasi-military applications like codebreaking ARPANET but this specific branch of tech has nothing more than broad general links that everything in computing shares. This particular tech is almost purely an outgrowth of gaming tech and that’s actually sort of unique and interesting in itself, don’t stifle substantive discussion just to throw in a “well ackshuyally” that’s not even very relevant, that’s very disruptive and antisocial. Please foster good discussion here, that’s the underlying mandate of this site.
No language is perfect, thats kind of the point of the author going from erlang to gleam to rust.
Well, it could also be argued that the Iranians only came to the table in the end, because they knew they were not going to get nearly as much from Reagan administration than they would with Carter. Of course, Reagan was all to glad for Carter to wind it up before he took office

How are we going to get AGI without knowing what intelligence is? By sheer luck? Either we're on a path to AGI because we know what intelligence is and how to create it, or we 're not because we don't.

Things don't just happen agickally, just because someone really wants them to happen. If they did, we'd have solved the bigger problems first: world peace, world hunger, poverty, and free energy for all. And those are problems that we at least understand- unlike intelligence.

This looks quite nice - for some time I have been trying to list all tabs in Chromium window so I can stick it to proper workspace (I'm using i3) - one for general browsing and one for IM/socials.

If this can identify the window (PID or better WindowID like wmctrl -l lists) it will be perfect!

> Rust is not a complicated language at all

Yet many find it so, whatever you write. Either they're wrong, or they're too thick for Rust. I certainly find it extremely difficult and complex.

The denial/disregard of the experience of others (and fury that they dare express it) is one driving force of fanaticism.
I do appreciate your transparency, though I disagree with the sentiment that I’m arguing from a position of bad faith.

The Babel team has not shown a moment of interest in lowering their role in the JavaScript ecosystem to anything short of kingmakers. I think the facts are self-evident, but I can easily back up my claims by citing pretty much any document the team has ever produced. Have a gander at their GitHub README and what do we see?[1]

- “Babel is a compiler for writing next generation JavaScript.” I suppose they left out “indefinitely” to avoid the obvious. Don’t forget, you’re here forever.

- Over a dozen sponsor logos. An embarrassment of riches.

- A literal audio recording of a song in praise of the project. The call is coming from inside the house, people!

The Babel team has a well documented history of their priorities[2], emphasizing the need for a modular approach that has no exit strategy[3]. At best, we have a case of accidental entrenchment and long term dependence on Babel brewing as early as 2017![4] At worst, we have a group of aspiring Carmack-wannabes looking for their big break into the incestuous and lucrative class of technorati standards committees.

Don’t believe me? It doesn’t take an inner-join on the TC39 roster and the Babel maintainers to see our own version of regulatory capture forming right before our eyes.

Compare this infinite circus to the humble but popular Normalize.css, which has the express purpose to stop existing.[5]

If the Babel team wants to raise some money, they can start by putting a plan together that would codify an exit strategy. It’s certainly more noble than their current plan of barnacling onto every NPM package…

I liked him (am American). He tried to bring the Metric system to the U.S., as en example.

I have a hilarious road trip Kodak photo from the 70's where our family are standing in front of a sign at some mountain pass in the Rocky Mountains and the sign gives the elevation in both feet and meters.

A recent Google street-view I found for the same location shows elevation in feet only.

To hell with Reagan.
> The idea of a well-defined extensions interface is not a bad idea.

when I am forced to register on addons.mozilla.org, just to install an extension that I wrote, yes, that is a bad idea.

Yes, you need to "earn the dues" before they enable that, I think its for good reasons, they protect the product and I would not advise a newcomer to even try prime FBS if they habe a certain volume and a very professional infrastructure is needed.

They have very protective rules for sellers who sell jewlery and such, too.

Another aspect is the cost and risk to the company if it ships defects to production (assuming it actually has customers, has largely de-risked product-market fit, etc). Suppose a company is in the hardware business and locks its cash into building and shipping a run of their v1 consumer product, then discovers after shipping there's a defect in the entire manufacturing run that means the product needs to be recalled and repaired. That's likely sufficient to bankrupt a young company that doesn't have revenue flowing in from other products or lines of business. You'd want to be doing a lot more QA than merely unit testing.
