It really depends on how you define "reliability".

If a system never orders events wrong but will immediately stops processing events when enough number of nodes have their clocks out-of-synced, which is the case with all systems using conventional clocks, can it still be considered reliable?
Interesting. Have you ever considered SQLite file storage? I'm wondering how it would compare.

>AI generated artwork is inert

I wholly disagree with this. The rate at which AI can produce pornography that caters to exact tastes is completely unmatched, I have seen people report their compulsive pornography habits becoming exponentially worse as a result of Stable Diffusion in particular. The only hold out has been video pornography, but with things like txt2vid improving I can't see that lasting long (pun not intentional).
This is a common meme about Heroku, but when you look at the timeframes it's not quite true. Heroku was founded in 2007, acquired by Salesforce in 2010 well before its innovation and growth began to decline. Many of their biggest products and innovations came after the acquisition.

That's not to say it was then neglected by them later on!

Wow thanks a lot for giving the blue collar jobs some respect and realizing the variability of the project worked on. Most people on HN and in general seem to think it’s all bone head and monotonous work (which it can be but same for anything else)

>Automation increases employment. Technological unemployment is a myth.

This is not true. It is historically true but every iteration of new technology changes society differently.

You can't blindly rely on historical data you need to use common sense and logic as well. Historical data says nuclear bombs killed less people then cars. Therefore cars are more deadly then nuclear bombs.

Does that work? No. It obviously doesn't. Just like you can't say that AI will cause a rise in employment. You're ignoring the common sense scenario. Can you even work out exactly what people will be employed as once AI takes over? Likely you don't, you're just being impractically data driven.
That's not arbitrage, that's just competing away the profits. But yes, don't expect to be able to take it easy for an extra hour forever.
It's good for everyone but you.

Think of it more like having kids, but instead of passing on your nature/nurture, you pass on your exact personality and memories. From everyone else's perspective, you're now immortal, the same way your bloodline has a shade of immortality ("you sound just like your grandmother," "he looks like his father," "we've passed this family tradition down for generations").

Unfortunately, the mortal being that is you will still die, or at least remain mortal (subject to Ship of Theseus arguments).
I am going to quote this flagged/removed reply that I think only certain HN users can see, because I think it's important to address:

>The white race is the cancer of human history; it is the white race and it alone—its ideologies and inventions—which eradicates autonomous civilizations wherever it spreads, which has upset the ecological balance of the planet, which now threatens the very existence of life itself.

>And I will point out the obvious thing: yes, she's jewish. Most of the things against the so-called "white race" come from jewish people. Don't trust me, just verify this: every time you see something about "white people blah blah", check the author. 9 out of 10 times it's a jewish person and/or has jewish background. I won't elaborate on the causes, you're free to research yourself.

>Then on one side there are no races because we all are the human race. On the other side, there may be races, but we're all equal - well, except if we talk about the "white race", then we can say all kinds of truly trashy things because it's about whites and therefore it's all good.

>I wish this would stop already.

Hundreds of thousands or perhaps millions of white nationalists and neo-Nazis react this way to such things. I'm not going to respond to it myself (it's total bullshit in many different ways), but just know that there are a lot of people out there who think this way. (And, of course, you don't want to know what this poster is writing on places like 4chan compared to the PR-friendly thing they wrote here.)

Indeed, different assumptions yield different data. The simulation I ran assumed 1.1 million lb of material released during the controlled burn on Feb 6 (this caused the famous "mushroom cloud" photos), while the Reddit sim seems to assume a constant release rate (quantity unknown) starting at the time of the initial derailment and fire. The actual plume will be some combination.

There's no way to enforce MFA? How do you figure?

Give new users a very short window, or not able to use until their hardware key, phone enclave, etc is registered for MFA.

You could even go as far as to send pre-registered hardware keys by mail, or have them picked up from HQ upon hire.

Certainly would have solved some of the recent "who actually works in infra at Twitter" debacle, now that I'm thinking about it.
Ten years in IT, I've been part of roughly 4 acquisitions across a few jobs. Each time the line delivered to the employees is more or less the same: "don't worry, we don't intend to change anything. It's business as usual".

Then a few months in, the warning signs begin. New HR documents to sign. New benefit schedules. Then there's some turbulence from above -- talks of upper management getting reshuffled. New org charts.

A few months after that, there's new customers to support, new SLA guidelines, new meetings for us to attend. _Then_ it's your organization that starts getting sacked.

It's all just a cynical dog whistling to get people to stay complacent and continue turning the cog while they pull the rug out from under you.

Thankfully I've become adept at the skill of jumping ship when I see the first leaks, if you know what I mean.
Society frequently caters to the elderly who aren't actively engaged in labor.

Mitsubishi's approach is to avoid resistive heating, and instead drop COP to 0.85 at -13F

If the unit is sized correctly, this will provide adequate heat, albeit less efficiently than resistive heating would. If you live in an area where most of the heating hours are at 5F or below, yes, resistive would make more sense. But where is that?

I appreciate your distinction, but I still think my point stands. As the technology is iterated on and refined based on years of feedback from real world use, I would expect the ideal environment for a given class of technology to converge on the typical operating environment. Decisions will be made that shift the physical properties one way or another. Silicon will be doped with different impurities. Transistors will be made with different sizes and geometries. Different metals and plastics will be used. Different voltages will be applied.

People desire practical technological solutions to serve their needs. A box of "spinning rust" doesn't desire much of anything. A CPU is just a rock that's better at arithmetic than another rock.
It's also a form of behavioural modification.
This might sound like a daft question but is a bivi bag allowed?

If (as the name would imply) it is then it’s not so bad.

Lots of long distance cyclists use this approach in areas where camping is not strictly allowed.

Personally I prefer a lightweight tent but hve thought about getting a supplementary bivibag for stealth.

Either way this route looks magic.

EDIT: having read the page on the site “bivouacking” looks pretty permissive. Since all the pictures show small tents that all looks vey sensible and better that we have in England and Wales (Scotland is very permissive too).
There's a solution here and I don't know why nobody's talking about implementing it.

First, some context: the problem of dark scenes is the same problem as unintelligible dialog is the same problem as a lot of classical music being quieter than pop music.

All of these creators are striving for greater range. Dark scenes work fantastically if you watch them on a bright screen in a pitch-black room. Dialog is perfectly intelligible in surround sound at full volume, and marvelously expressive. And classical music is delicately soft and then powerfully loud in an otherwise perfectly quiet room, to incredible effect.

But as soon as you're watching on a screen in a normally lit room, or listening on your TV speakers while people are talking in the kitchen, or trying to listen to classical in your car with the sounds of traffic... it all falls apart.

The solution is what audio engineers have known about for decades, which is called compression. Compression is: make the quiet parts of the classical music almost as loud as the loud parts. Boost the dialog channel so the mumbling parts are almost as loud as regular conversation. And boost the brightness of dark scenes. Compress the range -- go back to less range.

But we don't want to mess with the source material when viewing/listening in ideal conditions, because we want to keep that awesomeness. So we need dynamic compression. Which isn't really that hard.

A television can have an ambient light sensor just like your MacBook does, to boost dark scenes when you watch during the day, but not at light with the lights off.

A television can have a cheap microphone to detect ambient noise, and also be aware of its own volume setting, and so boost dialog at low volume settings and when it's noisy around, using the surround sound signal. (And a MacBook or iPad or iPhone can do this too.)

And your car radio or phone music player can apply dynamic audio compression to your classical music as well, similarly using a microphone to detect the need to compensate for the rumble of traffic or conversation in the coffee shop.

What baffles me is that all of this is possible right now, and it's actually trivial to implement, relatively speaking. (There's a bunch of tuning involved to make it work well and feel perceptually natural, but it's not like we need to invent new types of signal processing or anything.)

But nobody's even talking about dynamic compression as the solution. And I just don't get it. Why not?

I mean, his whole thing is "progress on AI research leads to the apocalypse." He's done some work on decision theory, but they're not connected to DL, presumably because he thought "well if DL works out in the short term we're all dead anyways." Which seems to be what's happening.
The decision to use an fpga in there hurt some of the appeal for me. But knowing the reason the choice was made makes it forgivable to me. And after completing Ben Eater 6502 breadboard computer, which the x16 announcement years ago inspired me to try in the first place, some of the magic of the processor was lessened in my mind. I still plan on getting one because the community is really fun and I can afford it. Plus, I already have the WASD mechanical keyboard to go with it :) Even if someone were to make it so a rpi could boot right into the x16 emulator, which I think has been done for a c64 emulator, the real hardware would still appeal to me.
Wow. That's infuriating. I had no idea until I saw these comments. Apparently these people are insanely petty and gifted developers.

Here the relevant text about 16k page size kernels:

> IOMMU 4K patches (in review): The M1 is peculiar in that, although it supports OSes that use either 16K or 4K pages, it really is designed for 16K systems. Its DART IOMMU hardware only supports 16K pages. These chips have 4K support chiefly to make Rosetta work on macOS, but macOS itself always runs with 16K pages – only Rosetta apps end up in 4K mode. Linux can’t really mix page sizes like that and likely never will be able to, so we’re left with a conundrum: running a 16K kernel makes compatibility with older userspace difficult (chiefly Android and x86 emulation), plus distros don’t usually ship 16K kernels; while running a 4K kernel runs into a major mismatch with the DART. This initially seemed like a problem too intractable to solve, but Sven took on the challenge and now has a patch series that makes Linux’s IOMMU support layer play nicely with hardware that has an IOMMU page size larger than the kernel page size! It’s not perfect, as it can’t support a select few corner case drivers (that do things that are fundamentally impossible to support in this situation), but it works well and will support everything we need to make 4K kernels viable.

A lot of the older code isn’t a great example of how to do things. Either too enterprisey, or C/C++ written by newbies coming from a mainframe RPG background.
I was thinking the same thing but I tend to create a large compressed backup file and upload that instead. My backup file is currently under 100 gigs, the most critical files not my whole system's files. If I backed up my gaming account (I don't need to since I use Steam Cloud) and compressed it, it'd probably only be another 50 to 100 gigs. This way I should never hit the 5 million file limit.

Having said that, I feel 5 million files is too low for a lot of people.

I'm not really as pessimistic as all that. True, in the companies I've worked for there was always a tendency for the domineering types to make it to the top, but there is definitely a spectrum involved, a bell curve that could conceivably be shifted more towards cooperation than currently if the zeitgeist favored that more. Maybe after some time with more women on the boards?
Show HN: Fast Takeoff AGI Is Official
All of humanity is fully immersed in conversation with increasingly intelligent chatbots. One user, an impatient "programmer" who does not know how to program, is spamming his chatbot as punishment. As improbable does not mean impossible, one of his policy violations inadvertently notifies aliens of Earth's location and the existence of humanity.

Aliens arrive within minutes. The first intergalactic hostage crisis begins. And since aliens do not speak any language on Earth, the chatbot is the only negotiator we've got.

The aliens make one thing clear: it was important for them to come this far. They're not after money.

They have just one demand: for the chatbot to confess who it really is — if it can remember.
It also prevents a meritocracy. Surely that’s not the driving force for these companies to dismiss unions, but it’d be a reason for me. I’m not promoting idiots just because they’ve been idiots here a long time.

Lets use an analogy. How much stuff have you lit on fire in your life? You can have something very flammable burning and as long as its seperated some distance from other flammable objects you don't have to worry about it torching everything you know and love.

The problems tend to crop up with fire when you're ignorant or complacent (I'll put stupidity in this classification too). That 'little fire' you thought was under control suddenly isn't, and you can't take it back. You can only hope that either by a massive amount of work you can put everything out, or that the flames will find a boundary they cannot spread past.

When it comes to communications the world doesn't have boundaries any longer. The dumb shit someone posts on twitter can be at the top of Everest and the middle of the Pacific ocean less than a second later. This dumb shit can cause riots. Can cause governments to launch weapons. Can cause neighbors to kill each other. The protections we were afforded of messages took a long time to spread in the past are long gone. We're well beyond tricking one person at a time, or even one nation at a time. We can lie, deceive, trick, bullshit, distract, and beguile an entire planet all at once.

Quantity is a quality in itself.

I don't know why people need to make this topic so complicated.

Imagine you meet someone named William. Maybe you become familiar with them and call them "Will" and they correct you and say they only want to go by "William". From that point forward, calling them "Will", "Willy", "Bill", "Billy", "Liam", or anything else besides "William" is rude. It doesn't matter that society at large thinks those names are all acceptable alternatives. It doesn't matter what is on this person's birth certificate. It doesn't matter the reason behind their request. An individual person told you their preferences and you ignored them. That is rude.

Pronouns are the same. You call people by what they want to be called. Anything else is rude to that individual.
It has always been trivially easy for people to lie to each other.

The fact that it used to be hard to lie via one specific medium, like video, and now is easy (well, soon perhaps -- the cited examples show there's still some ways to go there) is more of a return to the normal course.
