Cool idea! Maybe I misunderstand how it would work, but let’s say you have a long post (or multiple posts) on a topic. Won’t it be difficult to get a good answer that takes all content into account if only a small chunk can be used for the GPT prompt?
We would have more US-made cranes using US-written software if innovation was allowed in ports.

I disagree with the AI doomers on technical grounds, but there's no need to overreact to the overreaction to LLMs.

Apocalyptic predictions are visible in the myths of every civilisation in the written record. They're probably a Jungian archetype to prevent populations from the potentially entropic consequences of exploring the unknown too quickly. Religious? Sure. Religions have served us well on evolutionary timescales so I'm not sure why Yann is surprised that they've been transposed into forms modern people (including atheists) can suspend disbelief in. I'm not worried about the existential risks of AI myself just yet, but these overreactions are society compute trade-offs between exporation and exploitation in the face of a very new technology. This has been happening since not long after we left the trees. It's what cultural species do.
Statistics come from google analytics, which most Firefox users block. When I compare stats from my webservers with GA, it’s clear that either bots overwhelmingly prefer Firefox UAs, or it’s underrepresented in GA stats.
Well, it could be simple, but the most important reason that it is not simple is because the rich control the system.
Is that target $10kg to orbit and back?

I imagine the price of getting mass back down from orbit would bump your cost up a bit right?
Phone/tablet. You still provide the G. with IMEI of the device, but I assume you can just go buy a second-hand/refurb one for $25-$50 with the cash probably anywhere in the world and toss it later. Hell, you can buy a new one for $50.

But of course the G. would try to get a phone number from you with all the dirty tricks you can imagine. So better use it just as a bootstrap for acquiring some other form of the presence on the net.
tl;dr `realloc(p, 0)` is slated to be undefined behavior in C23, whereas it's been somewhat implementation defined until now, with recommendation being realloc(p, 0) is equivalent to free(p)

Seems a bit tone deaf to create new undefined behavior in memory handling, especially when a sane default behavior seems to be de facto

I've used that free-on-0 behavior myself. Unfortunately the code that uses this will often have 0 be a length variable, so hard to grep for this. Ideally musl/glibc will both stick to that undefined behavior being free & gcc/clang won't go about making this something to point their optimizations at

Lest we have to stop using realloc outside of a safe_realloc wrapper

static void *safe_realloc(void *p, size_t newlen)
{
if (newlen == 0) { free(p); return NULL; }
return realloc(p, newlen);
}

What got this whole thing weird is that C doesn't like zero sized objects, but implementations were allowed to return a unique pointer for a zero sized allocation. Which then raises the matter that being portable there require freeing that reserved chunk for non-free implementations. In theory this reservation code could be more efficient when code frequently reallocates between 0 & some small value. & there was uncertainty because NULL is a way to say allocation failure, but then if one did a NULL check on realloc's return value they also had to check that the size was non-zero

What about land that’s owned by a trust in another country? Land is extremely easy and reliable way to hide money, that’s why wealthy Chinese are so well known for buying up property in the US and Canada.

You're right UN Agenda 21 _is_ available on the web. Have you actually read it - or have you only read opinions on it?

I have read it and I think you're taking a VERY big leap of faith to connect the dots this way.

If they're trying to destroy the idea of the individual person, what is the end goal? ie. 2023 you say they're going to destroy the idea of the individual person. 2030 they succeed. 2035 ?????
I also really like CodeCombat. I used to it to try to learn Javascript, and I got kinda hooked.

> there's no 45 second button on the microwave

Just turn down the power to 70% or 80% for one minute - it is equivalent. Varying power levels is microwaving 101 for heat control (especially for getting heat to the middle of cold things).

Aside: buy a microwave with knobs for timer control and ideally power level too (or a slider would be an even better UI for power level but I haven’t seen that). Buttons deeply suck on every microwave I have ever used. Think like a software UI designer when buying appliances: most appliances have horrific UIs, but with a little effort you can often find at least one model out of 50 with a usable UI (and sometimes the cheapest too). There is a branding opportunity here for a startup: the Apple of appliances would sell even at a high premium.
Yes, it's a multi step process. The first step is to figure out which chunks of text is relevant to the question. Then we can generate answer based on that.
As much as I like Codeweavers the predictions seem the most off. 0.89% in Jun 2021 -> 1.27% in Feb 2023 is given as reasoning to expect it to be 3% or greater in 10 months but 2 additional cloud gaming services by the end of the year is a "very longshot" despite that being met the last couple of years in a row already. AAA exclusives seem to be on the decline but the Steam Deck should get one? Maybe if Valve makes one themselves but even then it doesn't feel likely they'd just not sell it to other Steam users to say the Steam Deck has an exclusive. A newer Steam Machine like console device seems plausible though.

The other predictions seem more reasonable. It seems 2% market share is a common guess. Personally I think that's still optimistic but at least plausible. Nick's predictions overall seem pretty reasonable and it might be because they resist the urge to insist an instant upset is an inevitability. Time will tell though! Like the 10 year HN threads I look forward to looking back at this comment and seeing if I was actually any more reasonable with my assumptions.
AIs or SIs may well have optimization functions that don't permit them past the "Destroy all humans" phase into the "Harvest resources of nearby starsystems to make more paperclips" phase - They may well reach a local maxima, be unable to proceed, and burn out long before then. I would assume that most AI with a sufficiently bad optimization function as to destroy their creators would fall into that hole.
My take on the article is the same as chomp’s.

>Průša incorrectly states that "there are 1:1 clones of hardware or software on the market that do not bring anything back to the community". But the cloners do bring something to the community, namely lower prices.

The author either fails to realise or simply doesn’t care that the lower prices come at a cost. Relying on cheap Chinese clones is an evolutionary dead end. They aren’t going to open source their hardware ever.

You also can’t get lower than free on open source software. So all the Chinese forks will essentially get closed.

Prusa is stuck and doesn’t know a way out. They built their brand on being open, but that will surely force them out of business.
That's not true. Self employed individuals may need to make an quarterly estimated tax payment if the payee does not withhold on the payment.

A payment recieved at the end of a quarter would be included in the ETP due 2 weeks later.
I couldn't agree more, with the addition of dosbox and PCem/86box.

There's a ton of titles from the late 90s onwards to ~2010 that don't work correctly on modern Windows - either very unreliable, have something fundamental broken, or don't start at all.

This especially applies to games from the from the pre-Vista era - things like DirectSound & DirectDraw being rewritten in Vista broke a lot. In addition, newer GPUs & drivers have broken older games - even big names like The Sims 2 have graphical artifacting - unless you use DXVK! I understand that sometimes this is due to the game doing something incorrect that happened to work okay at the time, but that's still unhelpful if I want to get something to run.

Running games from my childhood requires a mix of dosbox (for most classic DOS titles), PCem/86box (for really weird old titles that don't run on anything that isn't win95/98, or DOS titles that relied on 3dfx hardware).

Get a bit newer and it's dgVoodoo2 (for games that use old DirectX or Glide), DXVK (even on windows!), or I just give up and run them on Linux with Wine - which usually just works. The odd title still needs some patching (like eg Max Payne, but that's because of a CPU incompatibility with AMD Zen CPUs) - but it's nearly always less hassle than trying to run older titles on Windows 10 or 11.
Airliners also developed in the context of a state supported system that used regulated high ticket prices and mail route subsidies to keep the industry alive for any needed pivot to military aircraft. I don’t know that there is the stomach for such a system today.
I think that a mix of public-private ownership is likely a good idea.

And there should be some serious oversight. The decisions at the level of proliferation of plutonium and building atomic bombs should not be done solely by a startup founder under a pressure to deliver, to keep the hype, to not let the team be headhunted, etc.

I also don’t know about your familiarity with Ycombinator, but they are successful partially because they are pretty brutal. They are not the peace-time CEOs. And I’m not sure, if you want the AGI to be developed in a ways of a war-time CEO. And this is exactly what is going on now.

I’d probably call for organizing a consortium of US-Government-Microsoft-Google-Intel-Nvidia-OpenAI to lead the decision making process and to relieve the pressure on OpenAI to some degree.

> When it comes to the G-Forces being pushed on you, many roller coasters have peak G’s at or above these limits. Most people are probably familiar with the different rides at Walt Disney World so let’s use those for examples. At EPCOT, Mission Space is a centrifuge-based ride where you go through a simulated launch and landing on Mars. The sustained G’s on that ride is 2.5 G’s, close to how many G’s New Shepard will experience during launch.

> For the descent, Blue Origin says you must be able to withstand 5.5 G’s, if you ever rode Rock ‘n Roller Coaster at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, you would have experienced up to 5 G’s during the initial launch of the ride.

Epcot Mission Space (the "Orange" version) is pretty intense as it's really sustained G-forces, but manageable. During the ride, you have to reach in front of you to press some buttons, and that's when you feel the G-forces most. But for SpaceX/BlueOrigin, passengers do nothing.

Rock n Roller Coaster itself for the peak G is done by kids, not a big deal.
You can absolutely use engineering to limit the g forces. It's just a matter throttling back the engines near the end of a stage and/or staging sooner. For example, Gemini peeked at 6.4g, Apollo peeked at 4g and the Space Shuttle peeked at 3g.

3g is low enough that most humans shouldn't black out, even without training.

I'll also point out that professional astronauts are expected to remain functional for the entire assent (including emergencies, where g forces might peek much higher), which is not required for passengers.
For those like me who were confused by this paragraph as I was, Bengalis are a single ethnicity that is split between the countries of India and Bangladesh. Practically all Bangladeshis are Bengalis, and 80% of them are Muslim. Most Indian Bengalis are Hindu. A more complete explanation can be found here: https://www.differencebetween.com/difference-between-bengal-...

But looking this up still leaves me confused as to Rayiner's anecdote. Is he saying that many Indian restaurants in America are owned by Muslim Bangladeshis? Or just that the one you mention in Atlanta was? And is there a difference between Hindu Indian Bengali and Muslim Bangladeshi Bengali cuisine?
It really isn't that simple, because again, no one really can say how it is so simple, merely that it is, somehow. Economists also talk about this point often, and they also can't agree, generally speaking, on how to, or even if to, reduce the inequality gap.

The best solutions I've seen are land value taxes, inheritance and estate taxes, and taxes on loans backed by stock; and among the worst are unrealized capital gains taxes.

I think brands just fluctuate in quality as time goes on, they get used to being top dog and coast on brand recognition alone. Mac N Cheese in particular it pays to take the 5 extra minutes to mix your own cheese, but if you don't want to do that Cracker Barrel branded Mac N Cheese (the kind that you finish by toasting in the oven!) is pretty good stuff. And don't forget to add pepper, cayenne, and other spices to store bought stuff, it works wonders!

a) That's not a should.

b) It's an example of lack of discrimination, not a wish or obligation to have them prosecuted - I'm all for prosecuting Trump and Clinton. I could've written Biden or Pelosi, or Clinton B.

c) You're tumbling in the weeds now.

My advice, you mucked up in your reading - of the article you mentioned and of my comments - and you're clearly finding it hard to deal with having that pointed out. Just take it, learn from it, and move on. Arguing about it like I care about Republicans or Trump isn't going to get you anywhere. It's certainly not going to magic up anything that matches what's happening to Trump, like a charge for Hillary.
Back in the mid/late 90s Vancouver was affordable and a lot of flats being built. It was still more expensive that the suburbs, etc. but still cheaper than metros across the border. Sometime in the 2000s money started flowing in and those flats I was seeing in place like Kits for $150-$200k were suddenly going up a lot. Rents were also escalating. A lot seemed to be fueled by foreign money.

I was looking at relocating at the time and wish I had followed through.
You do not need an accelerometer for input shaping. You only need one to determine the optimal constants (which represent the resonant frequencies of the machine). Once determined, the accelerometer is not needed. All machines made the same way will be able to use the same constants.
Yep and I think this is missing a big chunk of the conversation because they were open.

Even if they weren't, there would have been clones and the clones would have shamelessly copied the non-open product as well. This is a problem with our global manufacturing system in general, not a problem with three printers specifically.

You can't invent and sell anything right now because it will be immediately stolen and turned out for next to nothing. The answer to this is generally stronger patent protection and international trade deals that recognize the damage is a sort of copy cloning does.
Ask HN: How do you ramp up on a new job?
Hello,

I am about to start a new job working on a huge established code base. The existing team is about 15-20 people and am going to be joining as a staff engineer. I have been thinking about what would my initial days/weeks look like outside of the companies onboarding meetings.

Do you setup 1-1s with everyone on the team? How do you go about figuring out the right areas to contribute? How should I work on building relationships in the initial days?

I used to do piece work. At times you could show I only made a dollar or two an hour and at other times I would be getting $100+ an hour and no overtime despite working more than 40 hours a week. During those times I only made a dollar or two an hour I had a great deal of free time in which to do as I pleased and I "paid" for it during those times I worked long hours with no overtime pay but it all evened out and I did fairly well.

I hate articles like these, they raise more questions about the article than the topic. People may be getting exploited but they could just as well be making more doing piece work than they could with an hourly wage especially since it is apparently off the books which also suggests illegal immigrant workers but they do not mention that and I would expect that to be mentioned if that were the case considering the agenda this article seems to have.

The big question that this article raises is the one regarding piece work and can California actually outlaw that, I suspect not and businesses just hire people as independent contractors instead of hiring them as employees doing piece work which is also why it is off the books, it is up to the employee to report the pay and get it on the books.

I guess that I’m around the same age to the author you’re replying to, and if you accept my answer, it’s pretty simple “I’m glad I got it, and would do it again if I had the choice”.

Because while people have access to what we have learnt and beyond for free, going through a proper academic curriculum with the interactions the environment brings makes you a different person, and allows you to tackle depths of any issue without fear and uncertainty.

Being self taught or having a greater breadth with less depth brings you flexibility, but being “T” or “I” shaped brings much more than that.

Lastly, having that power is fun to begin with. Makes life enjoyable.
I have implemented a JSON-like CRDT using this nice tutorial [1], which is a tree, but never an append-only DAG.

I'm curious how two edges meeting the same vertex will make it difficult to resolve the conflict automatically? Is it that two users will create the same vertex (concurrently) with slightly different attributes, and attribute-merging requires human-in-the-loop?

Of course if the DAG is not append-only, but supports, say, "moving" of edges/branches, it is a totally different problem. Martin has something to say about this [2].

Could you share a few places at the top of your list? As you yourself pointed out, it looks like the same story is playing out everywhere one looks, especially in the West.

Given the current situation, the more I think about it, the more I conclude that going fully remote from a low-COL location may be the better answer. Unfortunately I think this complicates things for founders to raise.

Also, this makes me think how utterly unprepared Germany is to receive all those immigrants needed to keep the economy working.

Best of luck with your plans.
