This argument applies to pretty much all sources of energy. Resources needed to build solar panels also don't come from France. And good luck to build those without relying on fossil fuel.

Regarding nuclear, the next generation of power plants could operate with uranium-238 which is very abundant.
Anatomy of a Bank Takeover (2009)
Yes, I understand and am very sympathetic to what you're saying here. There is a real privacy violation involved.

But I don't think it's a real moral conundrum. As I said elsewhere, I think that if we as a society want to have police that can effectively investigate crime, they also need to have some invasive powers. And I think we do want to have such police, because the alternative is much worse.

The reality is that there is no such thing as an absolute right in pretty much anything, because it's rather common that exercising one right can infringe on a different right. So it's all necessarily about balance and compromise.

Bizarre article. Just a rant from someone incredibly out-of-touch and who is missing the forest for the trees.

"The human mind is not, like ChatGPT and its ilk, a lumbering statistical engine for pattern matching, gorging on hundreds of terabytes of data and extrapolating the most likely conversational response"

We don't know that! It very well could be. Think of all the data that has entered all your senses in your entire lifetime. More than goes into ChatGPT, I'll tell you that. Plus, you synthesize information by being corporeal so you have a tight feedback loop. LLMs could well be a foundational part of AI technology as well as an accurate analog for some of the brain's behavior.

A small part of the point, but bringing up this "hardcoded" response of it not offering political opinions as any kind of evidence of its theoretical capability is beyond silly.
I'll ask then. What happens to an organism when it stops growing?

It's an exponential process and there are really only 2 states except for an infinitesimally small space between.

> It's been demonstrated to have the theory of mind of a 9 year old child, and this will no doubt improve

That's wrong. It's been demonstrated to produce responses to question such that if a 9 year old child would produce those same responses we would assume that that child had a typical 9 year-olds theory of mind. Not even for the child does "passing" such a test demonstrate having such theory of mind, though given our understanding of how humans develop it's a pretty good signal.

I don't know how someone could understand that and still think that chatgpt has demonstrated theory of mind.

It is, in fact, the same for a lot of tests. For example, it would be trivial to write a program that could pass an elementary student's math tests, but it would be rather ignorant to assume that a program passing that test was the same indication of that program's "understanding" of the underlying math that you would assume of a child who passed that same test.

Commenters on HN have a range of biases, which is what makes it an unusual forum. There are, sure, some ideologically left, and also some ideologically libertarian, and a smattering of other ideologies. I find that, as long as my comments are made constructively (rather than provocatively un-PC for the fun of it), I don't get flagged or downvoted much, so I'd say it's certainly not an intolerant forum.

Also, on a tangentially related note, I think the "woke" ideology crested about two years ago. That doesn't mean it's gone, but it peaked at about the time of the "defund the police" slogan, and (partly as a consequence) has been receding since then. Not to say it's gone by any means, but its power is in decline.

What's bizarre is that this is a particularly big bank to be going under. Most of the ones that die are tiny because banks have a real economy of scale here.

Lehman and Washington Mutual were truly exceptional cases in the 2008 crisis, and SVB may be right there with them in a few weeks.
The mechanism is to watch the banks you have money in. A company still has to pay it's bills. To pay bills, you need some money in a bank, it's unavoidable.

So, let's say you are a company with 4 banks accounts. Each has $500k in it. One of them is SVB. You probably just move the $500k into one of the other bank accounts. It's no big deal per se, but you do it. That's a run on the bank if lots of companies do the same thing.
What's the methodology? It's an interesting metric as long as there is some rationale attached.

I've been a happy user since December, but I knew this change would eventually come. On the existing $10 USD a month plan I've been scraping under the "break even" usage point and I've only used it on my personal devices/outside of work.

Still using google for my day job since I figure it would tip me way over the point where it would be sustainable. Sort of justified it to myself that it's technically "my employers" privacy since I'm googling things related to developing their product and nothing to do with me personally.

In saying that I thought/hoped they would put in a huge drive to try and minimize the cost of search over time, not just rely on bumping up end user pricing. I don't think I can justify the price of the unlimited plan, which is what I would need if I actually used it on all my devices. That would be $40 NZD a month! For context that's more then I pay for Netflix, Disney+ and Crunchyroll combined.
My anecdotal experience is jokes/poorly supported takes get downvotes.

If you want to get flagged, the best way to do that is to make an irrefutable strong argument that ruffles political or economic feathers of a popular ideology on HN. There's nothing that enrages people here more than an unpopular but sound argumen they don't like, so they flag it to make it go away. If they can quickly disprove you or make you to look an idiot, they'll downvote rather than flag so that everyone can see their moral or intellectual superiority in the full thread.

>Even though there isn't a formal theory, there definitely is a big difference between a person capable of doing good system design and one who isn't.

Yeah? Prove it. You can't. That's the big problem here. The only thing you can give me at best is some vague metric on some anecdotal experience. We don't even have data on this. Replace "system designers" with ICs who have the same breadth of IC experience who produces the better design? What does "better" even mean?

My personal opinion on Systems design is that it's pretty easy if you got the "IC" part down. It is largely just arrows and boxes.

>I've done it enough to know that I couldn't do it while keeping my IC-type role as well. For me, personally, I approach systems design in a sort of breadth first search for a solution to the entire problem space, whilst deep-diving into particular areas where I am less certain. For other parts my experience lets me brush over details quite quickly.

I think of system design as something that is tediously hard. It's not something that requires a massive amount of skill. But it does take a lot of time to come up with a design. It's like building the Eiffel tower out of toothpicks. Anyone with the relevant domain knowledge (as opposed to design knowledge) can do it. So yeah it does make sense you can't be an IC at the same time.

>But realise at the same time that even software development itself doesn't have anything resembling a universal theory, common processes or frameworks. It's all changing, being reinvented, and rediscovered on a continuous basis.

This is the whole point. Anything referred to as "design" is largely an artistic endeavor. Arguably much of these frameworks have been changing in a manner that cannot be characterized as "improvement". Just endless horizontal progress and endless genetic drift because we can't know if one design is better than the other.

This is the same with system designers. The skill level is horizontally stacked because we literally can't prove shit.

>It is equally true that many things even in medicine or construction aren't based on any solid science.

Medicine is a highly quantitative endeavor. All medicines go through rigorous quantitative verification for efficacy. The same is definitely not done with system designers.

> Unix sockets were released in java 16 officially though it was always supported before that in third party software.

I said datagram, not stream.

> C style fork() seems insane for any gc-type languages, so ??

java daemons have no way to signal systemd their readiness. The unix way is to fork and exit. The systemd specific way is to use dbus to tell systemd that the process is ready.

java supports none of that natively. So if you have a service that depends on a java daemon, you can't sort them properly.

The normal way is to hack the java daemon to be launched from a bash script, that will test if it's ready using curl or netcat, and will in turn tell systemd about it.

As it is, doing a sane daemon in java is impossible without having some JNI fun.

> I'm not entirely interested that every language fits perfectly into the UNIX classical "everything's a process / pipe" style model.

Ok, how do you propose to tell systemd that your daemon is ready to accept connections?

I know the answer; it's because being able to issue unlimited money, diluting the public's savings and salaries and then collecting interest on it benefits certain powerful people in a risk-free manner. That's not the answer which an economics professor would give me though. They are not trained to use their analysis skills so much as providing canned explanations. These economics professors have to pay their bills too and their paychecks come from the people earning interest on the big loans... The paychecks of economists literally come from this system that they're supposed to analyze in an unbiased way. Not going to happen.

Damn it can someone please just give me free money so I don't have to be confronted with this reality and think about this stuff every day? Maybe if I could also benefit from it without having to work, it would be easier to just let it be. It's exhausting to get screwed every day and knowing exactly how I'm being screwed and yet having no power to do anything about it except whining online to random people hoping desperately that the system will improve just enough that I can get the tiniest opportunity. I've been working on side hustles for 10 years straight but I've never had the social connections to get traction regardless of how good the product is or how much users love it.
no i wasn’t. i said an individual could easily have $250k in cash to show you that it is not a significant amount of money from a business perspective. nothing about what i said referred to keeping $250k in a non interest bearing account as being a smart decision for an individual
Man, what will be left for devs.
Variational Principles in Classical Mechanics
And some other aircraft (like turboprops) use deicing boots on the leading edges. Rubber like surfaces that expand at specific intervals (usually a low and high setting).

And those in the GA community have weeping wings / TKS deicing fluid which leaks out of the leading edges thru small holes (again, with a low or high rate).

Neither of which you wanna rely upon for takeoff - need to make sure that stuff is gone from the surfaces and if using fluid be aware of holdover times.
100% true ! They are already gone.

Small depositors (under US$250K) can get paid off quickly if the FDIC takes over, but larger ones may have to wait until SVB's loans are sold off to other banks for cash.

Here's a 60 Minutes episode where they got to cover the process.[1] It's not too bad for the customers, but it is really bad for bank management. The 60 minutes video shows the moment when the FDIC people show up and tell the CEO he's finished.

Custom resource definitions are global to the cluster, and operators are usually written to watch those resources in the whole cluster.

You run the operator itself in a pod, but you can only have one of them running at a time, hence they are global. You can run as many Alpine/Ubuntu/... containers as you want, and as many ElasticSearch or PostgreSQL as you want, in isolation, that's the beauty of containers. But you can only run one SpiceDB operator or one ElasticSearch operator, on the whole cluster. We're back to square one.
I'd perhaps be slightly suspicious of the explanation as Sega didn't sell IP to Sammy, the companies merged (the general holding company for the group is Sega Sammy Holdings, but in the west we mostly only see the Sega side of the business). If they got that wrong, would the rest be right?

AFAIK the ring effect is FM synth generated (it's not like the Mega Drive is very good at digitised audio), so it's probably original to the game, but I suspect random cash register manufacturers are just ripping it off myself, rather than actually licencing it (are two notes and some synth parameters copyrightable in the end? probably depends on how much you can spend on lawyers...).
I did CapEx at Tesla. Almost no human intervention is required for the solar line in buffalo; I.E. Completely automated.

The jetsons made us think there will be some use to general, bipedal robots. Turns out the robots are just giant machines that pushes a panel through, applys a special glue, and stacks the metals, glass and silicon.

There's some general assembly at the end, but the amount of people on the line is a rounding error to what it takes to keep that line running. It takes hundreds of people to ensure that automated line doesn't stop. Just because we reached automation, doesn't mean we need less people.

With automation comes scale. With scale comes new problems and new needs. As robotics takes over, giga factorys will become terafactorys. where factorys used to have thousands of employees, we now have hundreds of thousands. Imagine the terrafactory of the future that employes millions of people, from supply chain to robot whispers and prompt engineerss.

The IPCC fact sheet on Africa [1] confirms the core point of the GP: Africa has been and will continue to be disproportionately affected by climate change.

The African _continent_ would be best served by every possible acceleration of green energy initiatives that would hold climate change below 2 degrees (an increasingly unlikely goal).

There has been continuous hypocrisy in the West over climate change. But burning fossil fuels to do ??? development would pull Africa deeper into the trap it's already in; a trap of wealthy country's making.

Yes, insulate as well. But a person living in a single glazed warehouse conversion with no insulation but next to a tube stop and a food shop will use quite a bit less energy overall than a person who lives in a passive house but has to drive 10miles to work. Restoring walkable town centres and discouraging car use in towns and cities that worked fine before cars would save more energy and would be quicker and less disruptive than trying to insulate every old victorian house. Insulating old houses is technically hard to do right and different houses need different solutions. If it’s done badly it will cause health problems from black mould and structural problems from condensation causing timber joists and rafters to rot where they pass through the insulation into the masonry walls.
Same sentiment here. The last thing I want to do is adding friction to my research and having to consider whether I should use Google instead for some queries.

Sad to see no mention of the Motorola Q (1) which I got in 2006. My first mobile phone was also my first ‘smartphone’ with a full keyboard. I didn’t have any cellular service (I was a child) so I downloaded a ~2gb package with 350,000 text-only Wikipedia articles onto a MiniSD card (before microSD!), and that kept me endlessly occupied.

I still have that device, quite possibly my oldest possession. Maybe one day I’ll find a way to get it working.
