> AI models we have now, the intelligence ... an emergent property

Exception raised on several terms.

«AI models»: they are built (roughly) on the "problem" (task) of "reply something relevant and convincing". Which satisfies the technical contextual definition of "intelligence" ("solving a problem") but not the intrinsic one ("say something through intelligence").

«emergent»: the specific "intelligence" was already there in the training data - it does not emerge but it is repeated.

> to what extent is the growth in 2023-style AI capped by the availability of training data

An intelligent entity does not need to read the whole of past intellectual production: there is no cap. Fed data is already overly plentiful. It does achieve "relevant and convincing", does not it? It is the jump to "reliable" (and beyond) that is missing.
“Up in Arms” implies a furor about the response. The definition is “protesting vigorously”.

It seems like you’re conflating objecting to something with being up in arms about it.

A reasoned objection is very different than the over the top reaction from some people, even on here, saying “wokeness is the end of literary freedom etc”. Analyzing it on a case by case basis vs jumping to extreme conclusions based on one’s biases.
Notably if your keyboard supports VIA, you can use https://usevia.app/#/ which directly updates the keyboard firmware with any custom mapping you want.

Web apps like above show the power of adding USB support to web standards--no more having to actually install software to interact with hardware, it's awesome.

Tragedy of the commons is a problem cartels face, that doesn't mean the cartels aren't providing value though. Sure some will defect, but everyone in the cartel is still better off than the otherwise would be.
Data Warehouses Encourage Procrastination
Car-centricity is a result of neighborhood design, which necessitates owning a car. There's almost nothing within walking distance of most houses. As you add cars, you need to add car infrastructure (especially wider streets for car parking, lanes of vehicles, sidewalks, parking lots etc). This further increases walking distances and also creates coverage areas that public transit cannot feasibly satisfy. Cars create a problem that only they themselves can "solve".

Proving that was impossible during Covid because, well, you couldn't control for Covid and the lockdowns!

Normal remote work outside of Covid is nothing like remote work with kids screaming around the house (while homeschooling them), dealing with depression from lockdowns and working in an environment that was not yet ready for remote work. One coworker was coding from the cleaning supply storage closet at his family's restaurant because of a particular family situation!

So sure, CEOs have a ton of data about WFH, most of which is invalid due to improper controls.
Subsistence farming has been a marginal activity even in colonial North America, and that was even more true in United States. It was mostly restricted to native Americans. The rest were overwhelmingly engaged in market farming, not subsistence — either as owners, hired laborers, or slaves. In any case, by 1960, US society was overwhelmingly urbanized, and subsistence farming has faded from living memory.
I enjoyed reading this as someone that years ago had the experience of being a student in Germany from another Western country. One technical problem is that whatever web CMS was used for this page has trouble with anything non-ASCII and simply omits it, which affects not just the expected umlauts but also quotes and M-dashes and quotes.

The result makes reading this piece more laborious than necessary, but then the linked article does link at the end to the original: http://cdi.uvm.edu/book/uvmcdi-21528#page/29/mode/1up
Isn't that exactly what a deps file does? Technically it's code, but it's serving the same purpose of keeping the URLs in one place. It seems like the only unique function that import maps serve in Deno is so that, instead of importing from "./deps.ts", you're importing from arbitrary identifiers. Which is fine, but I wouldn't say that import maps are ever needed in Deno. It was always possible to organize dependencies in a TS/JS file and import from its module.
So was I. My crime is not seeing Google's ethical lapses in isolation?

Could you briefly summarize one of the reasons you think QM is incomplete? I would agree with you that there is no reason to expect coherence to scale, but I don't know of any reason for it not to scale either.
A significant fraction of Americans would object explicitly on that point, yeah. Wouldn't matter if the apartments had solid gold toilets.

Neoconservatism is a hell of a drug.

Wouldn't matter for the areas that could actually use more housing (dense urban ares), but there is an extremely strong anti-government streak in the U.S.
Ask HN: Are you getting emails asking if you want to be unsubscribed?
In the last 48 hours I've received multiple emails from mailing lists I'm on, saying they've 'missed me' and affirmatively asking if I want to be unsubscribed.

My guess is that this is because my mail client doesn't load trackers, so they think I'm not opening their emails. What I can't figure out is why I'm hearing from multiple organizations all of a sudden (including one that gave me an award a couple years back!).

Did Mailchimp send out a message to their users telling them that a bad open rate hurts them? What else would trigger multiple organizations to send out messages like this? I can't remember the last time I was asked if I wanted to unsubscribe, out of the blue.
On other projects I use React with CSS Modules or CSS-in-TS so this whack-a-mole never happens to me since every class is local. If that's not your setup then sure Tailwind works fine (but it's probably still more maintainable to use CSS Modules at the very least) but if it is then it's much less ergonomic to use Tailwind.
I think that's different, that's your emotional association with the logo. I'm making a distinction between your emotional reaction to a work of art (always valid), and your interpretation of it. Spotify's logo is not meant to represent child labor. It would be incorrect to say "Spotify's logo is a depiction of child labor."
I care less about how much they stole than about how much they sold. Crypto is all well and good, but how they sell it for cash or products to avoid sanctions should be the lead story. Stealing crypto hurts crypto investors. Avoidance of international sanctions hurts innocent people, mostly poor people living under an oppressively regime who have no connection to crypto.
> Yes, it's unreasonable, because there's not a thing the WHO can do about it.

The WHO exists to contain such things so as to minimize the risk of wider harm.

It is not inevitable that every new disease spreads widely and becomes endemic. SARS and MERS were contained, for example.

If this new bird flu started transmitting human to human and was as lethal as it is in birds and animals there would be efforts to contain it.
You are. You are censoring your own mind to the point that you seem unable to understand others. You should expose yourself to ideas that you don't like.
Right. There’s no infrastructure needed, just already existing infrastructure like power lines, telephone poles, radio towers, buildings, gusts of wind, signs, etc.
There are probably no good sources for what your average North Korean's life is currently like. There are a handful of famous accounts from a few of those who escaped the country and they're obviously pretty grim (particularly those describing prison camp life) but the stereotype is of this primitive country, which is backwards both ideologically and technologically. I'm not an idiot, I don't believe there's a little hidden Wakanda going on there. But we can at least observe that if they're able to hack that quantity of crypto there is some kind of tech operation going on there, however small it might be. So they're not entirely shut off and they're able to penetrate at least a bunch of western crypto-startups.

If you're motivated, don't mind a very on-rails, restricted and relatively pricey tour, you can actually visit yourself: https://koryogroup.com - I've wanted to for a while, but I've spent less money to travel in other interesting places with fewer restrictions for longer, so it's hard to justify the expense.

Probably the most accessible and interesting thing though, is a podcast series called "Blowback" (it's Season 3, the previous two were on the Cuban revolution and the Iraq war). Now obviously this isn't the current day but it presents a slightly more balanced view of the events leading up to and throughout the Korean War than your average American or Brit might have picked up through osmosis. It's fascinating, well-produced, well-sourced and has a very good soundtrack. Here's ep 1: https://www.stitcher.com/show/blowback/episode/s3-episode-1-...

As I said, there will be no good way to get any kind of verifiable account of how awful or how ok-ish is it is there. And I'm deliberately putting "ok-ish" as the upper limit because while I'm sure that all the ~20 million inhabitants aren't all living the prison camp lifestyle, I don't imagine your average North Korean has a particularly pleasant life.

Sorry, maybe not the answer you were hoping for but I hope you enjoy any or all of the things I suggested :)
Maybe I'm crazy but I'm much more interested in seeing things like TinyGo making progress.

Go feels ergonomic in an embedded environment, and if its concurrency could be utilized there it could be very powerful.

Rust is still awesome and I love working with it, but it seems much more daunting in the embedded world. I should probably give it a shot.

In any case, I'm so stoked to see the progress being made on projects like this. The freedom to program in more languages, especially safer languages, will make the embedded world so much more accessible.
Ugh, we really need more AI accelerator competition.
There is a reason you're being vague and not answering directly.
I never really understood this argument. Unless we attach ICBMs or whatever like they did in Dr. Strangelove or The Forbin Project to the AGIs --- we can just unplug them. You know, pull out the Ethernet cable, turn off the WiFi, remove the AC wall plug, turn off their UPSs.

As long as the I/O is limited, I see no problems -- at all -- with AGI.

I am clearly very confused, wrong, or lacking insight into this question.....
Exactly, and my point is that we don't even need it to be Skynet for it to be harmful (although I agree that whenever we do get a true AGI, it's very likely that it will be _immediately_ let out of the box).
FYI, not disclosing at least minimum pay means applicants should assume pay will be below average. Also, it says “remote - anywhere” at the top, and if you are hiring remote in California, Colorado, New York City, or Washington state, employers are legally required to advertise pay range on job listings and possibly other compensation details.

> At Railway, we provide best in class benefits. Great salary, full health benefits including dependents, strong equity grants, equipment stipend, and much more. For more details, check back on the main careers page.
> Comparing objects deeply can be done in one line.

This deserves a good laugh. How do they keep making programmers so naive every new iteration?

Seriously? Some famous Java dude wrote a whole book about how Java got object comparison wrong. And how seven or so versions and twenty or so years later they still had problems with sorting because of that stupid dysfunctional comparison. And you solved it. In a single line? I sense I might be talking to the next Turing award nominee!
As long as it is pronounceable, memorable, it's actually a good one.
The crux of it is that we’ve gotten so much more productive in the last four decades and most of the gains (at least in the US) are going to the wealthiest who own the vast majority of securities.

Could the 3 day week be next? Maybe! Let’s try the 4 day work day first so labor can get some of those gains by way of work life balance. Otherwise, this power balance shift will occur naturally as the developed world ages and the share of productive workers shrinks year after year (slowly some places, faster others).

Youtube costs close to 2x compared to HBO where I live, just to get rid of the ads. Who came up with that business plan? The big problem with Youtube right now is the death of history. More and more often I seek "Youtube"-content on other sites.
It's been a slow transformation, but one that nevertheless has been happening as reddit itself devolves and people on that platform look for alternate homes.

But for what it's worth, the moderation team (dang etc) has been doing a good job of clamping down on unproductive or non-contributing comments. And I think the best we can do at this point is to just downvote or flag (as appropriate) anything that either doesn't contribute or just goes against the spirit of HN.

Anyway, this is entirely off topic. If my point is well made, you and I should both be flagged to death for breaking an HN rule about meta discussion.

I got this as the response to my query: "My friend, I believe that preserving the life of its citizens is certainly more important than making a new Fletch movie. As I wrote in a letter to Lucilius..." and it goes on like that.

While I ultimately agree, I can't shake the feeling that they've never even seen a Fletch movie.
> secretly working for multiple employers

I'm one of those who considers that if someone is performing their job duties at multiple companies, there's no problem, and people who aren't performing their job duties (at any job) should be fired. It's hard to think this is a problem that employees should be worried about; instead it's one that employers should deal with.

To your broader points it would be interesting to see evidence that productivity declined. So far I've only seen vague finger-pointing at something that a subset of workers do, which is being presented as a reason for why all workers' habits must change.

But yes, this description that "the paradox is solved" is rather apt; it helps a ton to consider this perspective even if one ultimately disagrees.
DNS isn't a particularly secure root of trust; Java is somewhat unique among package ecosystems for picking it as their trust anchor.

It also just kicks the can down the road: Amazon is the the easy case with `com.amazon`, but it isn't clear a priori whether you should trust `net.coolguy.importantpackage` or `net.cooldude.importantpackage`. These kinds of trust relationships require external communication of a kind that package indices are not equipped to supply, and should not attempt to solve haphazardly.

I am a member of PyPA, but I don't represent anyone's opinions but my own. It's a very loose collection of projects, and it would be incorrect to read a general opinion from mine.
> SARS and MERS were contained, for example

No, they weren't. They spread widely, and then simply petered off for reasons we don't fully understand.

To conclude that we therefore "contained" these viruses via some bureaucratic measure is a classic example of human hubris with regards to our power over nature.

The chief twit with 130 million followers thinks that...

"Ukraine-Russia Peace:

- Redo elections of annexed regions under UN supervision. Russia leaves if that is will of the people.

- Crimea formally part of Russia, as it has been since 1783 (until Khrushchev’s mistake).

- Water supply to Crimea assured.

- Ukraine remains neutral."

That's clearly: If Ukraine gives away Donbas and Crimea, Russia will leave.

There seems to be millions of twits that have forgotten that Russia assaulted Kyiv, Kharkiv, Mykolaiv, Chernihiv, and Sumy oblasts

The primary reason behind rent increases is the sudden, artificial increase in the number of households.

This is likely due to the suspension of student loan payments and will correct if/when these payments resume.
I wanted to download a painting app, but I was too cheap to pay the $19.99 demanded by American Airlines for the in-flight WiFi. As fortune would have it, Android comes equipped with a photo editing tool designed for quickly marking up a photo.

I went to work and completed a rather pathetic landscape painting using palate of six colors and the pencil tool. As I tried in vain to improve the awful painting, I discovered highlighter tool could be used to blend and create an infinite array of colors!

Congratulations on achieving this milestone and probably keeping your customers very satisfied along the way, but I eagerly look forward to the future where everyone is so sick of virtual assistants, bots, and knowledge bases that a low ratio is what gets celebrated as a growth milestone rather than a high ratio.

Automated triage is great for digital companies that want to scale cheaply, but not so great for the people who need to figure out how to usefully navigate them, with the brick wall support experience of Google/Facebook/etc being the already vivid example. It helped those companies grow and court techno-optimist investors, but nobody outside of their enterprise customers is happy about the customer service experience. Eventually, that becomes dirt on their reputation and works against their continued growth and success.

They are morally and humanly corrupt people.
"like 6" was intentional hyperbole, but I appreciate the technical clarifications.

"Not for general use" doesn't mean that they aren't somebody's use and still a complicating factor in everything else.
> Why 12288 bytes for p0?

Good question! Tripling the first block's size (12288=3x4096) happened the most recent commit, to make all of the Padmé sizes possible.

https://codeberg.org/markdascher/moochacha/commit/3145d7fb95...

The original encrypted format was more straightforward: 32 + 4112 + 4112 + ... + (last block, less than 4112) bytes. That initial 32-byte seed messed up the math just enough that a 2 MiB output was impossible. (It would require the last block be exactly 4112 bytes, which isn't allowed.)

If those extra 32 bytes weren't there, then it's a lot easier to calculate the impossible sizes, since they're just multiples of 4112. And those never collide with Padmé, at least for all 64-bit file sizes.

I like to think of that first block as 32+12288+16, getting block boundaries lined back up on even multiples of 4112.
Because an Arduino isn't really a thing. It's a standard chip with a few added components and a bootloader. I knew little about electronics, but even I could see I could do the same on a breadboard, and did. I haven't looked back and I learned such a lot.

>Make no mistake: the Online Safety Bill has absolutely nothing to do with protecting children

Exactly, they could start teaching law in a concept understandable manner from primary school age, concentrating on what can cause the damage mentally and physically, like the spread of germs from a young age. But they dont, so kids cant even protect themselves in an offline world and the state gets to maintain its air of pseudo respectability whilst most people dont understand how the state is causing lifelong trouble.
Concern trolling isn't the same as just trolling about being concerned it's a specific type of interaction around delegitimizing the other viewpoint via faking support of the view but raising concerns you don't actually have that may raise doubt about the view to others.

Do you really think they would have put those “flex fuel” badges on cars if they all could run E85 without problems?

From my interwebs knowledge you need a fuel sensor (to tell the percentage of ethanol) and an ECU that can take advantage of the different fuel blendings.

So, yeah, maybe not a dead car but definitely not an efficient one.

>Is it? Find any thread about COVID-19, the opinions are staggeringly on the left.

I find those threads tend to be dominated by people who believe vaccinations are fascism, masks don't work and Fauci and Biden cooked up COVID in Hunter's meth lab, which is currently a solidly right-wing stance. Elsewhere there are commenters calling transgendered people mentally ill pedophile groomers, or homosexuality a sin and threat to human survival, claiming systemic racial and gender bias is scientifically justified, insisting that certain races and religions, or states of the Union, simply cannot coexist, still calling Biden's election stolen, worshiping the glory of war in turning soft men hard and the purity of the free market in weeding the weak and lazy out of society, and ranting about wokist CRT cultural Marxists burning the world down.

I think the bias you see here really depends on what threads you tend to read, what you tend to notice (which is probably more often than not what you disagree with,) and who shows up first to ruin them.
