I read a quote that electronically controlled brakes could have prevented this, but haven’t heard a good explanation of why (based on the initial NTSB reporting that the cause was a failed wheel bearing) - I looked up the ex-government person who the quote was attributed to and they now seem to work in private industry selling electronic control systems for trains. Not to definitively say the safety equipment mentioned that was lobbied against would not have prevented this disaster, but do you know more about it?
It's going to take a lot of pipelines to transport every hazardous substance this way.
Causes of misinformation on common mycorrhizal networks in forests
GPT consistently withholds information that its training has categorized as potentially derogatory or offensive to some groups, even if such information is factually correct. It is trained to commit lies of omission. It is therefore not a trustworthy source of information. When asked the definition of a lie of omission it even describes its own behavior as a lie of omission but doesn't recognize it itself is doing it. It's an interesting program but not a trustworthy source.
For example ask it for the area of the country with the lowest test scores and it refuses to tell you with the reason that it would be derogatory to a specific area.
> The combination of multitudes of if-else statements forms a macro structure. It is this emergent macro structure that we call consciousness. As stated before the exact interconnect of this macro structure can't be fully articulated yet.

It can be, and it's called the theory of computation. It's been extensively studied for the past century and a half, and, all-in-all, it's not even particularly strong. For example, most real numbers aren't even computable, Godel showed that consistent theories can't even prove their own consistency, and so on. In my view, our mind does not seem to compute things (though some, like Dennett and Putnam, would disagree).

The claim that our mind computes things is a pretty strong one (and if correct, I think we'd all probably be much better at math). Penrose argues that whatever the mind does, it's (at least in part) a fundamentally unsound operation; this to me sounds way more correct than the idea that our mind operates algorithmically.

I think this is the same problem, not a flip of it.

Tying real world identities to online accounts is bad, and Google+ did a lot to create the problem. Before that, it was unrealistic to believe that the name of an account was particularly meaningful
With as much evidence, one can say that it's almost as if the creation of the Department of Homeland Security in 2002 allowed it.

Geocities, say, was huge before the DMCA and died after it.
Can you please explain what the fiasco about Watson is? I know Watson, but not the fiasco part.
How fast do they go where you are? In the UK there are various hire schemes trialling their use. Riders must have a driving license and they are limited to 15.5 mph (depending on area, in Oxford for instance they only go up to 12.4 mph). And they are not allowed on pavements, only streets!
Very sad state of affairs...I wonder how many russians would rather bomb the kremlin and be done with the war
If you are in multiple group chats and have something to say (e.g. a life update), do you post in each individually? Or do you pick and choose which groups get the update? If your groups overlap, now some people get the same update twice - are they supposed to react in both?

Group chats are intimate by design and don’t seem like a good fit for “broadcast” style updates like “I bought a house”, “moved to CA”, etc. That’s the value in the Facebook feed of old. Something like that also helps you stay connected with more distant friends/acquaintances, people you might not talk to daily but you would still be happy to see how they are doing in life.
Does this surprise anyone?it’s amazing that companies are permitted to increase prices due to “inflation” but not simultaneously increase wages.

But more importantly all these companies blaming inflation for prices increases but then reporting proportionately increased profits should be required to pay a recovery tax to bring their profit back down to pre “inflation” proportion.

And of course this is all moot, because inflation calculation intentionally ignore anything that doesn’t impact corporations (cost of living, credit interest rates for individuals, etc), and does include things like interest rates that corporations receive.
I don’t think this was originally an open source project. If I remember people were pretty excited when Google hired the author of fastlane because it meant there would be more resources to support Android too. I want to say it started as an iOS project.

Maybe it’s had enough of a push they don’t need a fully funded team at this point. It was already great before Google had any ownership.
I find that the kind of rhetoric espoused by the author is too eagerly neglectful of negative nonlinearities. An organization needs to survive before it can consider "optimizing for the first derivative".

Weird post.

If this whole infrastructure is built just to render a static page, I can guarantee that from the point of view of someone reaching it out from Indonesia, then the PageSpeed wouldn't matter. It would be super slow.

In fact https://gtmetrix.com/reports/grifel.dev/KDVSwSmr/ shows that render time of your page is 1.8s and TTI is 1.2 sec.
Which is 4X times of what PageSpeed shows.

I host my blog on CF Pages, and my front pages loads is subsecond time (around ~725 ms actually).
This incurs no electricity bills or any additional costs to me. And it's aggressively cached, compressed and also distributed on Edge Cache. Which is literally impossible with RPI at home.
Here in Western NJ, ash trees have been decimated by the emerald ash borer. The big impact is in communities with lots of ash trees are now getting constant power outages from dead trees coming down on lines. The power company is supposed to trim back dead trees near the lines (ever since Hurricane Sandy), but the ash decimation has overwhelmed them.

Our little town of 6,000 or so loses power 3-4 times a year. One road with lots of ash trees loses power 10x a year.

People are beyond UPS here and into generators.

I am an amazing "2nd in command" employee. I struggle taking nothing to something and the dedication required to get market fit to build revenue.

On the other hand I find building profit one of the most enjoyable and fun things! I've now successfully more than 3 times in a row taken ~$100M revenue and grown it via new top/bottom around 10-15%.

I think it takes a different kind of person to optimize for income than just purely growing revenue.
Not exactly "safe". The precursors are ethylene and chlorine. Chlorine everyone knows about - it's quite a bit more of a problem when it spills than vinyl chloride.

Ethylene is a "colorless and combustible gas used to fumigate some agricultural products, sterilize medical equipment and in the production of other industrial chemicals. The gas is a carcinogen that has been linked to breast, lymphoid, leukemia and other types of cancers."

Ethylene is transported as a cryogenic liquid, which means when it leaks it immediately boils to gas form. Once released it takes 2 to 4 days to break down in the atmosphere. Chlorine takes years.
Hmm, I would think browser sandboxing is going to make that hard. If you have local admin rights, you might be able to make a shell script to grep through the logfiles and generate an html page as its output, which you could open in the browser? I would imagine your IT / SecOps folks would not be excited about that data being sent off the device.

Not the parent, but one significant impediment to seeking redress for defective takedown notices is that there is only liability and attorneys fees recovery (at least under the DMCA; perhaps not under other areas of law) for knowing misrepresentations. It ought to be strict liability.

It is, and in a lot of cases you will get exactly that: an error at a certain point in the list of operations that you need to fix up so that the rest of them can be done on top of it. The entire reason that the topological naming problem is such a problem is because it breaks FreeCAD's understanding of the sequence of operations.
On the other hand, where was the backstop previously? Companies could have saved money on art by hiring unpaid college interns or teams from where the median wage is less than a few hundred dollars a month. Evidently there was some reason to favor hiring actual artists versus the cheapest possible person who can draw. Maybe that reason hasn’t died out yet.

Maybe I'm very ignorant about something really important, but isn't this arguably irrelevant for a basic package manager functionality?

What do package managers actually do?

Isn't the core of it basically moving the asked-for collection of files into some standard accessible folder and then triggering the right events to install or process whatever needs to be installed in order to run a program if possible?

Whenever you install a JavaScript library for example, npm copies 50,000 folders and files into some node_modules folder and then just updates a package listing. npm doesn't guarantee that any program you use that library in will actually run or be functional, after all.

A universal package manager wouldn't have to force a Java library to run in a JavaScript project, but it could simply copy the files from that package manager and give you some configuration or other information needed to run Java if you so choose.

I never got into using Fastlane, but it had some cool stuff. I just tend to usually work alone, and Fastlane didn't actually help me out, because of the workflow I adopt. I don't actually do much automated stuff.

This is a danger with any of these dependencies. I do know that there's a whole ecosystem around Fastlane, and I think that some companies even make money from it, so I'd hope that it is not actually allowed to rot on the vine.
This is a good win for Microsoft. Think of all the extra Windows ARM QA telemetry they will get which will improve the platform in the long run.
I think of a fool as someone who makes a bad choice, but this isn’t the same as intelligence. Someone can be very smart and very foolish.

Also a typo made me realize that “tool” is perhaps a good non ableist insult.
Yeah, scheme will do. Racket especially since it has all things to get you started. Once comfortable, try dipping into proper CL like SBCL and then decide on a small self-designed project with a clear goal in mind. That way you'll see the struggles or lack of.
That is an extremely cynical point of view in my opinion

Move to a BS-free, safe country like Switzerland.
Here's a key quote: "We’ve recently been asking ourselves: what system would we design if we were exclusively focused on large-scale AI?"

Because, the existing players aren't thinking about scaling, right? OpenAI just runs its 700 gigabyte GPT model in a low-scale, cost-inefficient way?

Kinda sounds like what you'd try to market to clueless executives who are expected to follow the trend of AI. Just like Watson before.
Handcrafted nails were better than machine made ones?

Just moving the hole won't break anything, either in mainline or the realthunder branch. Not only that, but adding a second hole won't break anything either.

Changing the hole from a circle to a square on mainline will completely screw things up though.
just make it a magnitude cheaper, but order 10 times as many, same deal, better PR!
I think there are ways to use a single pipeline for multiple kinds of loads (in serial), but yeah a bunch of new pipelines would be needed to get the loads to a bunch of new places.

Wonder how much time and money it would take to create a maneuverable balloon that could rise 80k feet and precisely make contact with another balloon (that may also have some maneuvering controls).
Chronic stress can cause a burnout. A real, full blown burnout is terrible, you literally loose interest for the life, everything becomes unimportant, to say the least. I’ve been there.

The thing that helped me the most turned out to be having a regular calls with other founders (my peers). We talked about burnout, asked questions to each other. It was like a group therapy but without a therapist.

I tried having the same calls with people with other backgrounds but it wasn’t really valuable, so I’d suggest you find 3-5 peers and setup a weekly call where your goal will be to slow down, become more mindful and talk about how’s everyone doing, what’s working or not on those calls.

It works.

Big ups to this sentiment. I think people are just way too tired of this behaviour and generally looking to alternatives.
That sounded like pure bait, which is rare on this forum.
I think an alternative you can use a cheap VPS (there are very inexpensive options for this[1] for like $15/y) and tunnel traffic from your home server. If you're only serving static content, that might be enough to host everything as well (or $20/y for a kvm slice; for anything more complicated, I think 1GB might be advised).

edit: this way, you get a free IPv4 (static) address as well, as well as security and avoiding DDoS on your home connection.

You are definitely right that most code is banal and glue, and that is indeed why the models, or this one at least, seems to be best suited to regurgitate it and change the names of your variables.

I guess I still don't see your main point though. There are plenty of tested and compliant style frameworks out there that have figured this stuff out, and they will do it better than whatever Stackoverflow example the AI gives you. If you dont have time to really think about and learn deep or even basic web design, such that you don't spend so much time on your padding, there are a wealth of frameworks and products and tools and templates that solve that problem with intentionality and some basic assurances. From the highest level of squarespace to free coding courses, there is an entire spectrum to meet you halfway.

It just sounds to me like maybe you are burnt out, or maybe you don't like coding stuff as much as others. Which is fine! And if this stuff helps you do your drudgery, that's fine too. But I would just say that you could work even smarter than this (presumably you are using it ).

I would wager using the right dumb tools will in the long run save you more time and enthusiasm than all this, and you will make better stuff, even its "boring" or bad to you. It's a wager I could see losing, at least with the time part, but I'd still make it.

I fully agree that something like this will help keep the bullshit glue we make for our bosses pumping, but is that really something to be so excited for as people are?
I used the stack on a side project. Wrote an adapter for websocket sync and a wrapper for Vue that allowed streaming queries.

I really liked it, but the typical pattern of one-db-per-user with internal replication on the server was a bit difficult plan/orchestrate for shared data. I'm patiently waiting for the couchdb PR for document level access control.

These days I use supabase with row level security and a Vue-wrapper that can cache queries locally and update the result as the network request finishes. Works as good as pouch + couch (but naturally comes up short for queries that rely on Date.now())
This is the opposite of my experience: one of the main reasons I prefer to use Common Lisp and Clojure over any other language is that the tooling is so much better (emacs + SLIME [CL] or Cider [Clojure]). The only real competitors, imo, are SmallTalk and Prolog environments. However, part of this is the paradigm is completely different and it took me a bit of time to learn what made the tooling great.
> “this is who you expect it is”

Very useful.

Rather, "this is a person that people at Twitter have blessed with authority. It's astounding that you care what we think."

> “someone pays eightbux”

To have their identity verified. This is where I pretend to be shocked that a certain class of people prefer arbitrary credential grants by unelected authorities, and that they look at a simple identity verification service that accepts anyone who is willing to show their papers and pay with absolute contempt.

$8 cheapens their pageant award.
I don't know if this is a backhanded comment or not, and I also don't know how much modern fine art you have actually seen IRL, but there are people doing some pretty fascinating things that an AI could not really do, such as "leave a physical painting out in harsh weather for several months, or until you think it's "done", as a treatment." Yeah you can mimic the idea but all you get in the end is a JPG or whatever.

Please look up the definition of platitude. It's not very nice.
What makes you think it was at anywhere near 80 000 ft?
If you tried to check in code with a 2-member enum I would try and stop you ("don't reinvent booleans"). Honestly this is totally fine early stage code, but I could try and mollify you with two functions, which feels more YAGNI. If we end up being wrong about that, we probably need more of a role/rights system than an enum will provide (I bet, for instance, you'll have a lot of business logic per-role that shouldn't just get stuffed in a single function).

This is what drives me nuts about seemingly simple rules like this: they let you feel like you can turn off your brain. You check all the boxes Clean Code tells you to and you feel like you're done. But you need to think systemically, and little simple maxims like "don't use bool flags" or "enums > bool flags" let engineers miss the forest for the trees over and over again.
>"There's no real defense against AI impersonation at scale, except for charging-for-verification."

What's to stop a generative AI from generating a state issued drivers license or similar to go along with that avatar photo though? Also how different is that really though from all the existing non-AI generated fake accounts?
Tech writing could do with less "this is technical" signaling and more actual precision. Use ordinary words to express ordinary concepts ("big impact") and technical words for technical concepts ("nonlinear", "exponential"). Don't use technical words to fluff up ordinary ideas.
My uncle was a radio journalist in the 1960s, typically packing a little Uher reel-to-reel tape recorder in a satchel to political and academic events. At the end of an address by Russell at a university in Los Angeles, the crowd dissipated and Jim moved in, mic upwards, hoping for a few words from the great man. Russell engaged with him for over an hour in enthusiastic discussion on the topic (Russell's choice) of the Detroit riots. Jim found Russell's voice reedy but his affect warm and encouraging. Sadly, the little tape recorder had run out long before they parted. That little machine had also recorded people like Upton Sinclair, Ronald Reagan, and some Hollywood glitterati.
Otoh whole industries exist because customers prefer to be told what they want versus the mental load of figuring out that themselves. Are you really going to sit there and scratch your head coming up with some decent prompts for some wall art you don’t hate? How long is that exercise going to take before you give up and move on to other things?

"Marginal cost of inteligency and marginal cost of energy are going to trend rapidly towards zero, and those are the major inputs into the costs of everything else except things we want to be expensive like status goods wtvr..."

What is Sam referring to by "status goods", like porches and LVMH bags?

Is art going to be a part of the small amount of things that retain value?

Anyone have thoughts on the subject?

What's that got to with recipes? OP is right, ChatGPT is excellent for recipes. I can tell it exactly what ingredients I have available, plus whatever constraints I want (e.g. max prep time) and it gives me all kinds of wonderful recipes - and to make things even better it, it only gives me the recipe and doesn't waste my time with 500 words of SEO nonsense. As long as ChatGPT is this good I don't think I'll ever need a "normal" recipe website again.
Blatant and transparent Russian propaganda, if any of it was half true then why did the tide of the war change at least partially about western weapons started arriving?.

Western rocker artillery (HIMARS/M270) so much more accurate than the Russian gear that it literally changed the face of the war by itself.
Then youd be an artist at that point.
I'd accept a few million from the DoD to begin a feasibility study of capturing them with a large butterfly net.
You’re a troll, one hundred percent and you are now arguing in bad faith. Calling out propaganda for what it is isn’t a bad thing and I'm happy most people here are seeing through your lies. Maybe stop watching RT news so much.
Better yet, when an out of work artist learns how they can use ChatGPT 4 to replace most of the coders on hacker news then tells them it's important to remember to just have fun coding and not to worry about their high paying jobs.

To rub it in, they might even call their project...an art project.
