1) you can have human reviewed appeal and have automated moderation
2) a provider of a service is not a provider of a public commons, nor is the service being confined to a specific type of discourse preventing anyone from doing anything in their life. You don’t have the right to go to a movie theatre and use it to practice your singing recital during the movie - the theatre owner can and will kick you out. This doesn’t trample on your rights - you can still practicing singing, just not there. Likewise you can still spew racism and talk about child sexual abuse in your home all you want. But no one is obliged to provide you a platform for that.
3) I see nothing superior to a capricious and biased human judging my content vs a capricious and biased model judging my content. The human, however, will be traumatized by the “millions of people” made miserable by their inability to spew hate and share child porn on Facebook.
4) we still do depend on judges and laws. Today the judges as laws say you not only have the right but the obligation to create a space relatively safe. In your European utopia speech and thought is even more limited by law than in the US, but in both locales forum providers are held to a standard. Right now in the US there’s a major case in front of the Supreme Court which will determine whether these companies can be held liable directly for failing to sufficiently moderate - if it passes, they’ll be even more obliged to “purify” their platforms of anything that anyone might feel compelled to sue them over. But even now all providers have to conform to the laws and judgements of the lands they operate in, and those lands say it’s not only ok to moderate, but it’s mandatory. So, your final point really, truly, makes no sense.
Yes, PlayDate uses Lua 5.4, for a good reason - it is a retro console with a ARM Cortex M7 running at 168 MHz. This is similar to RPi Pico or ESP32 and LuaJIT cannot run on it.

In such environment you'd best utilize Lua for configuration, implementing branching dialogs, scripting the story events and similar occasionally-triggered high level code that needs frequent tweaking. A more static project (turn-based, or a card game) could be done just in Lua. Using interpreted Lua in hot loops will not only drag the frame rate, it will also bring down the battery life.

Luckily even the plain Lua can easily be integrated with C, so it's not that difficult to take a chunk of Lua-prototyped code and push it down to C. For LuaJIT it's a non-issue for most part (and most algorithms can be reworked to be more efficient while staying in Lua).
> knee jerk rage reaction

I’m not sure I’d call it a “rage reaction” to object to a 250% price increase. None of the top comments could by any stretch be described as “rage”. If you have to exaggerate to make a point you should always ask why.
I thought it doesn’t have the generative AI extension? When I looked at the plan comparison it was a part of the commercial.
Alloy Artifacts never fails to inspire, impress, and bring joy
I'm not affiliated with this website at all; wanted to share because it feels like something HN can appreciate: http://alloy-artifacts.org/

It's a website dedicated to hand tools, their history, and information about early manufacturers. And just look at the scale of it as a resource. A couple of notes:

- simple but incredibly effective design that transcends devices and gives you control (want bigger text? go nuts. dark mode? how about any color you want just change two css values-mode. going offline? print to pdf, no space wasted, fit/scale however you want. etc etc.

- there is no cookie consent banner because it doesn't store any fucking cookies

- the site index is what every index should aspire to be

- there is zero advertising, not a hint of anything related to making money; the website asks nothing of you, wants nothing from you

- the consistency: look at recent additions (or home page changes) and the frequency of updates, like a freight train, no gaps in posts, steady flow of new content

- the language is beautiful, start with basically any manufacturer article to see -- every sentence was written by someone who not only has an immense passion for tools and the subsequent breadth of knowledge in the field, but also a firm grasp of language and how it should be used; another thing that will stand out is the faceless-ness of it, the website always uses "we", never "I", there aren't authors or comments or anything to distract from the content. It's always "we"... yet on the Contact page you'll read that the site has never had any employees or personnel. So it's the work of one person.

- all of the tools featured with images belong to the site owner, so there is absolute credibility there, and it's nice to get some fresh authentic information...

- references to primary documents and logical connections to other site content are plentiful, most things are linked internally; I don't think I've ever clicked on a broken link

- insane depth and detail everywhere, example: http://alloy-artifacts.org/trademarks-and-logos.html
Apparently both cases were "remanufactured" cars, after a build process failure. A flaw in the process for cars that go back to the manufacturing line, to be rebuilt?
Which is about what a good family plan on the exchanges would be in the US.
There are some fun aspects to the service industry. I worked in food service for a decade and enjoyed it, but it's worth noting the obvious downsides.

In food service particularly abuses run rampant, including widespread wage theft. Many restaurants have a toxic culture, all the way up to the top. I've known chefs who got violent, restaurant owners who brandished a gun at work, and have both experienced firsthand as well witnessing others being abused verbally or even sexually at work.

Sure it can be fun, but the price for that fun is high. Lots of uncertainty about your financial future, high turnover as staff are essentially disposable, physical wear and tear on your body... I wouldn't want my kids to do it outside of a summer job.

Sure, product managers are annoying. But nobody is going to fire me for checking my messages at work. I don't have to beg for time off or cover my shifts. Nobody has ever admonished me for stopping to catch my breath by saying "if you have time to lean, you have time to clean". I don't come home smelling like seafood or soy sauce or fryer grease. I don't have to miss birthdays or holidays anymore. And I make an order of magnitude more money than I ever could waiting tables (with health insurance to boot). Going back is unimaginable.
The same way, you can set the extension to automatically fill in and confirm, so it has the same flaw. It is not the default setting afaik.
Thanks, that was it!
I found there are so many options to choose from ,so which one should I choose?
Why are you trying so hard? Is your company going to reward you, or the slacker, differently because of how you're doing your job?

It sounds like you may wish for ownership, where your efforts returns' accrue to you and not the employers. Don't ascribe it to this job if it's not there: the personal satisfaction of doing things well is great but you can pour your heart out for other's enrichment and they'll never even thank you.
If you feel like someone isn't pulling their weight at all and your manager ignores that, either you're completely mistaken, your manager is incompetent or your manager doesn't care. In either case, you'll likely not become happy there by just continuing.

You can try to change your approach to work and adjust your performance accordingly, or look for a different team or a different job. I'm not sure if adjusting yourself is possible or desirable (could you go back if you switch jobs, or would you become that person and drag down the next team you work at?), so looking to work elsewhere is probably to easiest route.
> therefore ChatGPT has no concept of "truth." ChatGPT cannot deliberately lie or tell the truth, it has no understanding of such things

Please see my comment below[1], this is not a fair characterization. ChatGPT is not a pure predictive LLM, it also undergoes RLHF which gives it a much more human-like character, including clearly having a concept of truth within its limits.

> Part of the push to use the browsers pdf engine was a result of Adobe acrobat being an endless festival of security bugs.

The browsers are also "an endless festival of security bugs." Especially since they started to execute remote code. I can't view pdfs in browser. I need to zoom, find, and copy parts of (electronical schematics) pdfs and the browser version just sucks.
But that's not how economic mobility is generally measured. It's usually movement from bottom to top quintile. The measure is relative mobility within a society, not absolute mobility.

But the WEF reference for the grandparent uses a "social mobility index" which includes such factors as: "Adolescent birth rate per 1,000 women", "Pupils per teacher in pre-primary education (%)", "Extent of staff training (1–7 best)", "Internet users (%)", "Meritocracy at work (1–7 best)", so it's clearly quite subjective when it comes to "social mobility".

I tried to use ChatGPT to explore parser library for Rust called nom.

Nothing worked. Syntax was wrong. Midway I resorted to googling and after a short while I learned why. The library had a major overhaul at one point. They switched from using macros to using functions. ChatGPT didn't notice that and served what was mixture of old and new syntax.
Well, I think most parents put a lot more conscious thought into these things than their children give them credit for, simply because as a child you're not aware of all the things they have to consider. I've noticed I've started re-evaluating childhood memories of my parents since my partner and I had a child. So I'll give your parents the benefit of doubt and suggest that there is a possibility you are the one underestimating them now ;)
My own experience matches OP, I never have a Linux update take more than 5 minutes or so.

I used to run a Windows VM for the occasional proprietary windows program (generally some hobby-related thing) but every time I fired up that VM, it would force an update and basically be completely unusable for 45 minutes or more, just so that I could do 5 minutes of work on it. My time is more valuable than that, so I just simply don't use it anymore and have accepted that Windows is unavailable to me.
>I’ve always thought reparations have to be balanced against all of the benefits folks have gained from being born in the US in the 20th/21st century

The problem is a large % of the enslaved are descendants of people that were here before the US existed (either through the slave trade or indigenous, eg Seminoles), they are as foundational if not more foundational than the so called founding fathers.

They not only built the country but also had generations of valuable labor stolen. Every US citizen gains from their service, the reverse is hardly true.

>>> I submit that, like the Jesuit astronomers declining to look through Galileo’s telescope

Completely as an aside, from what I've read, the Catholic astronomers did look through Galileo's scope, and confirmed his observational evidence.

They were willing to accept a model of Tycho Brahe, in which the sun goes around the earth and the planets go around the sun.

Not needing to look through the scope, to know the truth, was introduced as a hypothetical in arguments. And there were Churchmen who were using the controversy to push the Church towards what we might call a more "conservative" position today. But amongst intellectuals, the debate was over whether the evidence supported the heliocentric theory or not.
As a former elisp package maintainer and emacs bigot ...

... I really just use it as an editor/IDE these days, and couldn't be happier.

Emacs is how I learned LISP which forever transformed me as a programmer and I'm grateful. But let's be clear WHY I was doing that: it was horrible as an IDE at the time and I needed it to do the thing.

Now, with elpa, great themes, solid modes for every major language, magit etc, it just works. I customize ... via customization.

I still have my .emacs (dating myself there) and a few nifty functions I wrote. I maintain a programming language, so pact-mode is still there. The ugly truth there is that it's actually easier to write integrations (for a LISP-like no less!) for VS Code than write a major mode.

I miss hacking on emacs but I'm more productive for it.

Ahhhh, okay that explains it. I always liked reading Scott's articles on quantum computing, but this was a highly off-putting piece: riddle with mistakes and misrepresentations, and condescending to boot.
It reads less like a fully thought out competing position article, and more like an off the cuff thing that someone might throw together on his coffee break because a friend asked him about it. Maybe he forgot that he was posting it to his personal blog and put as much thought into as one might put into, say, a HackerNews comment.

One thing I've noticed is that bugs don't hit my windshield while driving anymore.

I used to have to stop at the gas station almost daily to clean the bug splatter. That just doesn't happen anymore - and I'm still driving the same car I was 30 years ago.

The overall population of insects has plummeted.
I'd assume that the demo car was not having its engine running - it's usual for cars to switch to power-save after 5-10 minutes, mostly to prevent cars from draining their battery if the user forgot to take the key out.
Same! I like how it's a little easier to plan out moves and set traps with this game...

>The only way to mitigate this is to use computer-readable proofs, which can be verified by algorithms to ensure correctness.

This seems like a strong overstatement. We got by for more than 2000 years without computer-readable proofs, relying on intuition and validation.
For processing, all those points hold up—in terms of interfacing, you do have the option of the Compute Module 4, which has two CSI connections exposed. Still would like more power in the board to handle the video streams.
As an Argentinian who LOVES root beer (and Dr Pepper, and Guarana) I agree. Enough people like Guarana in Argentina, but I don't imagine root beer succeeding.

Weirdly, a mate-based soda is super popular in Germany, but when we had a (different) mate-based soda in Argentina it came and went very quickly.
It seems to me that much of both the hype and the hate around ChatGPT is a gut reaction from people who haven't tried to incorporate it in their workflow for at least a month, understand its limitations and strengths, and only then comment on its ineptitude or world changing abilities.

The fact that it can instantly reply with a broad consensus of the ideas it has been fed is precisely what I need from it. When I ask it to write a function that performs a binary search in Rust with a given set of constraints, I'm not looking into original research or "truth", I want precisely the boring boilerplate I'm too lazy to write. For that use-case, it's invaluable and awe inspiring.

It's limits are laughable too, try as I might I could not make it count the numbers in a string of '9's that fit in a 128bit integer. It hallucinated fictional names of tools that I should use, such as "cobol_to_rust".

It seems clear to me that both camps have profound insights and LLM are both invaluable and wholly insufficient to reach any form of substantial "Artificial Intelligence".
I wouldn’t say I’m reacting emotionally, or that where it is on the page is relevant. It’s just a funny part of their marketing copy.
I know bashing Musk is all in vogue and a pastime here on HN, but at least check the facts. Pixar was spun off from Lucasfilm in 1986 when it had been in existence for several years, with many employees. It was an established company changing the ownership. Musk joined Tesla only a few months after it was founded, before it sold any car. Claiming the founder title when it barely existed is certainly not outrageous.
I am perusing the "Pan-Am Shrinks the World" module, and the full screen zoom is terrific. Every .gov is looking to house their data on AWS. It makes sense to have a single digital library for physical constants, ephemeris tracking, volcano alerts, quantum encryption algorithms and the entire fediverse of government scientific data. It simply has to operate at the highest levels of public trust & transparency, as well as 99.9999% uptime ;)
Yes, that's granted. The issue is that indistinguishable isnt good enough.

This is the core problem with this schematised (and i think, pseudoscientific) computer science approach to intelligence. Output isnt intelligent.

So, for any given output, it could have been created by system A or system B, whose properties could be radically different.

It matters why, eg., we get "I hate the rain!" as output. If system-A says it because it: cares, hates, muses, imagines, prefers, intends... then that's radically different than if B does so because, "it's combining a weather API with some internet chat history".
I don't know, that's Chomsky's claim. If I, again a non-expert, had to take a position on it, it seems far more likely to be true than not. Humans have access to a wide variety of non-language stimuli, and demonstrate signs of intelligence well before they have any functional mastery of language. Even after I "mastered" language, I developed lots of skills that haven't the faintest relation to language, like riding a bike. I'm sure ChatGPT can produce a textual explanation of riding a bike, but neither ChatGPT nor a human who doesn't know how to ride a bike can convert that textual explanation into the act of riding an actual bike. But a human, unlike ChatGPT, could, given a bike, learn to ride it by trying to ride it.
Have you looked at design patterns. some of the more complex code usually uses one of these.

you can also look at a finite state machine. UML has interaction diagrams and/or state charts.

you can look at black box abstraction, try to separate the internal state from the external interactions.

I've also tried using a table to layout all the variations of the variables and what the output should be with "don't cares" to cut the options down.

you could always have chatgpt document the code and see what it says. it will probably be wrong but you never know.
That claim deserves no response. Who promised ChatGPT was AGI? Nobody. It’s a straw man argument.
I thought it was interesting because it shows what other companies are doing for their employees that have been there for 10 years. This was a big topic at a previous company I worked at who had employees getting close to their 10 year mark and it looks like that previous company is just going to let those employees options expire and screw them over.

From the datasheet:

> Energy Generated: 0.33 mWs actuating and releasing

I assume it means that it generates 0.33 mWs (or mJ, come on) in a full cycle of actuating and releasing. So you have to make 3 button presses per second to generate 1 mW of power.
The scientific community at the time had good reason to resist looking through telescopes. The entire scientific edifice was built on 7 planets going back thousands of years. What would happen to their medical "sciences", for example, if planet #8 showed up? Also note the church had already accepted Coppernicus's findings earlier. Issue was never the caricature of "bible says" that is claimed. In fact it was Babylonian roots of "sciences" -- everything around number 7 and 7 planets -- that caused a foundational problem. They had to rebuild sciences from the ground up. That was the reason for "jesuit" resistance.
I'm talking about the ingested feeds, not the search results.
I'd like to thank Scott for pointing me to the original Chomsky article which I didn't noticed, because this link is probably the most valuable part of this rant post.
