Humans can't control the Earth's climate. No amount of taxes, protests, or memes are going to change it, one way or the other. It is sheer arrogance to assume we can. We are simply along for the ride. Sure, we can destroy our environments with nuclear war, China-level pollution, and strip-mining, however only to the point where it destroys us. After we're gone, it keeps going the way it has for a billion years.

I'm not sure I agree with that assertion in the first place. Life has improved a lot for most people, but it has improved in ways that you don't really notice. Your car is safer, your apartment is safer, your neighbor's apartment is safer (so it's less likely to burn down yours), there's less crime, there's less hunger, there's more available life saving medicines etc etc.

These improvements just aren't all that noticeable. But this is the stuff that really matters. Whether the wealthiest person's bank account shows an extra zero or not means very little in comparison to your kid being able to get medicine for a disease that wasn't treatable 30 years ago.
I had a Lenovo with double-battery and about 18 hours of autonomy, so it's not impossible to get that at a discount.
this is exactly my issue. I was able to get an opened but unused macbook pro M1 2020 from Amazon for £799/€909 in 2021, with 8GB ram and 512GB SSD. It's been an excellent purchase, and I've been happy with it but faced with paying much more, I'd likely opt for something else.

question for ya -- i've been thinking about going back into IC actually. i'm sort of in a weird position where i am bored to death being an EM, but also appreciate some of the problems i get to think about and try to solve that i would never get to as an IC. was your decision to go back to being an IC the right one? do you miss anything about the EM role?

Soap opera's exactly the right comparison, especially the really long-running soaps. Same kind of weird surprises, reversals, storylines and callbacks and characters spanning literal decades, all that stuff. Shit, this last Wrestlemania featured a wrestler (who's the son of another wrestler) involved with a plot line elements of which date back to when he was six years old, and that kind of thing's somewhat common wrestling.

Lots of the drama and conflicts and stories could easily be lifted and put in an actual soap opera with minimal modification.

It's a soap opera with tons of crazy, live stunts.

What a retcon.

Of course it doesn't

It needs as much argument, if not more.
How do you know the translations are accurate if you don't speak the native language?
It still doesn't occur to me that the 1-3% smartest people in the world would be attracted to LLM/AI just because they're intelligent. The most intelligent people I know are variously uninterested in AI because AI threatens many of their beloved interests in which the confluence of their intelligence can be expressed, i.e creative activities like music, composition, visual art, interactive works like games, and writing.
> The response was unprecedented in scale and scope, at least in terms of intervention from the Federal Reserve. The bail-out of the automakers was also controversial due to its size and lack of precendent.

And all of that was anemic compared to what was needed. From January 2009:

> I see the following scenario: a weak stimulus plan, perhaps even weaker than what we’re talking about now, is crafted to win those extra GOP votes. The plan limits the rise in unemployment, but things are still pretty bad, with the rate peaking at something like 9 percent and coming down only slowly. And then Mitch McConnell says “See, government spending doesn’t work.”

* https://archive.nytimes.com/krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/0...

The Fed's actions help on the 'back end' of things in the financial sector, but not on the 'front end' of things with regards to the real economy and jobs. Obama had a long slog to get unemployment down because of the lack of stimulus.
It's not just a connection. Its a connection anywhere in relevant countries. That 'anywhere' is a big difference.

So if your in a urban location, its not mean for you, price sux. If you have a cabin in hte middle of nowhere, this seems cheap and amazing to me.

You can't.

There is only 1 Mac Mini available with M1 CPU and it only has 8GB RAM - that's for $499 and if you add shipping to Europe and tax, probably it will work out closer to $1000 than $499.
You should check how bacterias navigate through mazes. They can navigate through complex environments (chemotaxis and swarming). Bacteria can sense gradients of chemicals and adjust their movements accordingly to find the optimal path through a maze. The ability of bacteria to communicate and coordinate their movements to solve more complex mazes is hella impressive.

Pissing people off, confronting others, and getting shit are not illegal. In fact, they're all part of living in society.

raises hand I think I'm a competent developer and I use Safari primarily. The number of times I've tried to build something and found out that Firefox or Chrome got halfway through the spec and then stopped working on it isn't 0 either. It goes both ways.
It’s mostly the Euro having weakened vis-à-vis the USD, plus some very minor components like private-copying levy. European prices are usually listed including sales tax, which can make them appear higher compared to the US list prices which don’t include tax.
Got about a quarter of the way down and then a full screen pop up appeared telling me something about the wind being fake. Closed and didn’t bother reading the rest.

Sorry I haven’t come back around to it.

I meant every type of risk - how you practically apply this sort of advice is 100% your part. You know yourself best, you are at the center of your universe etc.

In a way what you choose will then become an integral part of your identity.

Coming back around to this AI stuff - I think there will be plenty of need for smart people to be doing CS stuff. If that’s who you are - lean into it hard.
Very few people use SD cards these days, with the massive decline in camera usage.
Convincing people to pay for your product isn't free either, but them's the breaks if you want to do legal business.
But the question was not so stupid as it underlines the actual problem of AI, the scale on which it operates, not the fact that a machine could learn similarly to a human. I found the question pretty clever.
> having an arrest on your police record is something that neither your landlord nor an employer would be able to see.

In the US (or at least in my state), I believe that arrest records and criminal histories are public information.

Interestingly, if you are convicted of a nonviolent crime, it's not usual for that crime to be expunged if you did everything you were supposed to do (restitution, stay out of trouble, etc.) If that happens, then the conviction isn't in the records at all anymore -- but your arrest record still is.

The engineering doesn't depend on the prompt. If you can't build without the LLM you're not an engineer.
The worst thing about that upgrade pricing is that you know it’s basically pure profit for Apple. Sure, there’s an Apple tax that gets you build quality, aesthetics, better iOS integration, no OS licensing etc, but that’s already been priced into base model. RAM and SSD upgrades are just priced like Diet Coke in a fancy restaurant.
At least some countries fight monopolies, not promote them. /s
And can approximate combinations of that information (hopefully with enough fidelity) that weren't present in the original training body. This is where the value lies, if all it did was spit back out what went in it really would be just a compression algorithm.

That rarely happens, on the contrary, any imposed standards or regulations are simply outsourced to wherever those standards do not exist.
In fairness, I don't think the lack of Nobel prizes is a valid criticism here. The average time from discovery to a Nobel is close to 30 years at the moment and the Saudis built their first major research university (KAUST) in 2009 and their first university ever in 1961. Their economy started to grow after they got some control over their oil in 1972 so let's say a decade after that is when they could be expected to start spending to any significant degree on research. That only gives them roughly 40 years to get a Nobel which is not enough without systematic support from foreign governments and universities which was not there due to wars, politics, and some internal Saudi policies that limited their ability to attract experts and get access to the latest advanced technologies.

Completely anecdotal, but very infrequent checks of my blood pressure over the years would always flag high and it would always be written off as a temporary stress spike at getting it taken. Otherwise I was completely healthy and had no complaints so it was ignored.

It turns out that I had crisis levels of hypertension for years, and all of those aberrant readings were actually my normal. When I finally got it diagnosed and treated -- purely thinking it might relate to sporadic mid-sleep headaches/sicknesses [1] -- discovered that years in that state had pushed my kidneys to the cusp of kidney disease, which is something that doesn't heal.

Check your blood pressure regularly. Get an Omron unit and it even logs it into a little app. Treat it early because the damage accumulates for decades.

[1] That turned out to be a newly developed absolute intolerance for alcohol. A single beer or glass of wine with dinner would have me sick all night.

I compared it to past translations the translators did and also my native language. That's how I gained the confidence it'd do just as well with new languages.
What's the point of that? My mom who walks into a store doesn't adjust for inflation. Her income hasn't been adjusted for inflation, let alone exchange rate.

Many people on HN can probably explain why the price is what it is now. That doesn't mean that people are willing (or capable) to pay that much.
Still probably best to conduct this exercise now while it's writing silly Shakespearean sonnets. Soon someone will decide to put an AI on one of those police BigDogs with AR-15s attached because "if I don't, someone crazy might first" or "to stop school shooters!" Can't wait.
That’s BS if I may. How would I know I have higher cholesterol if I didn’t do blood tests?

I take issue with your Iraq war example. The United States has different control mechanisms than Russian when it comes to dissent in their populations. The United States manufactures consent. Russia crushes dissent. Both countries definitely wield their control at similar levels and to the same effect. That you seem to prefer the US style is simply a personal preference not an expression of some truth.
Thank you so much. I was lucky and had one remote job for 4-5 years but I did quit it recently. Hopefully, I'll be lucky again and find a new one.
I was too vague I think. The only place where I can see it being acceptable right now is code because I have a whole other system that will call out failures - I can rely on my IDE and my own expertise to hopefully catch issues when they appear.

Outside of the code use case, what should I rely on ChatGPT for that won't have me also looking for the information somewhere else? I suppose subjective soft things, like writing communications. But I can't rely on it for information.
From the perspective of an investor who just wants their stonks to go up, sure. From the perspective of a sailor who wants the deck to not crumble beneath their feet in a storm, no.

Looking at their FAQ, Mullvad Browser makes some different connections than LibreWolf (https://mullvad.net/en/help/tag/mullvad-browser/#93, https://librewolf.net/docs/faq/#does-librewolf-make-any-outg...). The big difference seems to be the Mullvad connection since LibreWolf does make connections for Mozilla's protection/certificate stuff and for uBlock Origin.

It looks like they might use Mullvad's DNS Over HTTPS by default in the Mullvad browser and this would probably be the biggest privacy thing, but whatever your default DNS is might be a larger privacy thing. Your ISP or Google's 8.8.8.8 traveling unencrypted is probably a bigger issue.

It looks like Mullvad is also based off the Firefox ESR (extended support release) version that the Tor Browser uses while LibreWolf would be more up-to-date: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35421718
A judge can order everything sealed if you can convince them to. Otherwise, everything is totally legal and no challenge is possible. To fix this requires changing the law.

And this sort of thing is state law, so it would have to be changed in each state.

What does rendered mean? In the browser window? Why not, you can certainly modify that. If you mean not rendered in the HTML then we are now talking about two different things, because my answer was meant for when there is an existing HTMl tree already.
What competition? Just like with phones, Apple is already getting most of the profit from computers. The commodity PC market is not exactly one worth going after.

I suspect this marks the end of the Semiconductor shortage? Now that TSMC isn't backlogged with Apple products they will search out other people's chips to manufacture. Probably a good thing for other people wanting to manufacture 5mn products.

FWIW, macs are high quality and last a long time.

My wife needed a laptop for class a year ago, so I gave her my old macbook pro 13 i bought in 2014. I also had a macbook air m1 for personal use, which I replaced recently with a macbook pro 14 m1, and planned to give my wife the air. She refuses the air bc she likes the old 13 so much, and she abuses the shit out of it.

How often does a laptop go strong for 9 years? Even the battery life is still ok. I am going to have to force her to consider the air bc the old 13 is a security risk without OS updates.

The only reason why I replaced the old 13 with the air was bc the 13 could not render 4k 60fps on an external display. Otherwise, I would have kept using it.

The old 13 cost me about $1600 USD new (256GB HD, 8 GB ram). Amortize that cost over 9 years and that doesn't seem so bad. Even my iphone 8 is still going strong.

Another anecdote - my current employer gave me a new macbook pro 15 when I started here back in 2017. It took my abuse well and the only reason I am not still using it is bc my employer forced me to upgrade when the m1 pros came out.

You probably won't need to replace your air for like 7 years, or when apple stops updates for your machine.

EDIT - I am surprised I am getting downvoted. You would think more folks on HN would be happy about long lasting products but the anti-apple bias is strong enough to override the concern of having a more sustainable product.
Sounds like adding the critical sections would have at least stopped it corrupting data.

Light goes in a straight line an reflects. If the walls are diffuse, a tiny amount of light is always going to make it out at some point, but what does that have to do with this?
Well, the victory in Ukraine is low cost high profit business for the US.

There is unprecedented growth of oil and natural gas sales to Europe, which completely displaced Russia as the biggest supplier. The arms contracts are rising heavily, making at least half of the world's armies interested in replacing old equipment. Prices are rising as well as profits.

Secondly, securing Ukraine would add up to the capitalistic market huge amounts of resources like grains and metals. This is a huge area of future investments that would provide gains for capital markets for years. Not to mention educated, hard-working populace.

There is also a matter of prestige. It is hard not to see the military advantage that western weapons have over the soviet ones. The risk of any other conflict is lower elsewhere. Still, the US is considered a worthy ally, whose guarantees are reliable.

Those are the advantages. Costs? Old military equipment that should be replaced anyway. Some money as well, but hey, banks are being given free cash as well. No boots on the ground, NATO expansion, many of the help come from allies. You can't make it cheaper.

And above all, morally you are still on the right side. Incredible.
