The typical argument against teen pregnancy is that it limits the life options for the mother, whereas you're arguing that the having these children represents harm towards the children.

People usually don't make the argument that teen pregnancy harms the children of teen pregnancy because you're implicitly arguing that non-existence is preferable for the children.
For nuclear research you could be right, but not so much with bioweapons. Already 20 years ago you could manufacture the polio virus from scratch just using publicly available data. https://www.science.org/content/article/poliovirus-baked-scr...

Yes, I know. Just pointing out that media isn't the only industry that's state funded to the person who's comment was just "media".
I'm suggest Walmart similarly benefits from indirect Federal funding of their business, in the form of wages/benefits they don't have to give out to their employees receiving public assistance to be able to live.
Savannah’s story and achievement is more interesting and never done before.

No other land animal has probably covered the same level of variation in geography and biomes or walked that much either , some birds or whales would have travelled longer in their lifetimes .

Her resilience to disease, wild animal attacks in a such a vast journey is pretty impressive.

She doesn’t have his inner need to walk the world, yet she kept following her friend and that was enough to travel 40,000 km.

I don’t think any human or another species would possibly do the same for someone else.

I appreciate how frustrating it can be when a topic you're not interested in is over-represented on HN's front page. We're trying to deal with the current LLM tsunami by downweighting follow-ups [1] and repetitive posts [2] (i.e. the less interesting stuff) while still allowing the posts with significant new information [3]. But there's still a lot of the latter (that's what makes it a tsunami) and it wouldn't be in the community interest not to discuss it.

> But now we see that crypto was indeed bullshit all along.

Just looked it up. Between BTC, ETH & top stablecoins, crypto has $900B+ market cap and $60B+ in 24-hour volume. I'm not saying your conclusions are wrong (though I disagree), just that you're calling the game "over" at the end of the first quarter based on one hype-cycle. I remember people doing something similar in the dotcom bust: "WWW is dead."
Good. Maybe more companies, media/new outlets will quit and be forced to realize that pandering to the amen chorus on Twitter is bad for business.
Also doesn't help if you're using standard deduction.
There's a scifi book I was reading a couple years ago that had this as a presence--models of people's personalities a la LLMs were a commodity, but they varied wildly in how accurate they were. Alphas were supposed to be 1-to-1 with the originating personality (to the point that they had legal protections? I can't remember), whereas gammas were used to menial things, like serving as a phone-menu style gatekeeper to the real person.

I can't for the life of me remember the name of the novel though... I'll have to go digging through my bookshelves later.

(Maybe Revelation Space, by Alistair Reynolds...?)

Personally I predict that generative AI is going to be the next Metaverse and crypto.

It's not about whether or not there is value there to be provided. VR and cyrpto provide value too, it's just that the markets for that tech are way more "niche" than companies were hoping for.

And I don't think VR is going away. If it wasn't dead in the water in the 90s, then it's not going to die because the Metaverse failed. But its applicability is currently limited to a few niche applications like video games and possibly CAD type software.

The thing that generative AI has going for it is that it is extremely broad in so far as its applicability. In other words, good luck selling my next door neighbour on generative AI. What is it? What is it good for? What problems does it solve in the here and now?

Generative AI is like electricity, only I don't think quite as useful. The point is that, on its own, it has no value what-so-ever. The value lies in what it is used for.

Right now what I am observing is a phenomenon that is way too common in our industry. Companies are rushing to go to market with some AI "thing." 99.9999% of those "things" will end up being more versions of the Metaverse and crypto. Because most of these companies aren't really sure what problem they are solving for actual people. It's all so novel and abstract and people are seeing dollar signs with very little understanding of how they are going to put it to use.

Where it finds its uses, I predict will be limited to the same applications that we're already using ML for. Chat bots, entertainment, generating document outlines etc. Just because we made a big breakthrough with the technology doesn't mean that we've actually created a solution to real world problems that real world people are having here and now in the real world. No one, other than maybe Open AI, is going to get rich on "generative AI." If they get rich and change the industry, it will be finding a use for it that many people want.
> But that makes it a mine in a field if you are not knowledgable enough.

That seems like looking for a problem where one does not exist to be honest.

The peer comment regarding RedHat is spot on. Yes you can purchase a Linux distro from RedHat and pay lots of money.

That doesn't mean anyone will argue with a straight face that you can't run Linux for free!

It's the exact same scenario with Java. You could pay Oracle for a Oracle JDK if for some reason you reall want to, but approximately nobody does that.
People are not doing that. Real life is not the fox news segment you are describing. Either cite evidence for outlandish claims or they will be dismissed.

iOS devices (maybe Android too, idk) ask you if you want to allow new accessories to access your device. That's why they said you need an exploit.
Indeed. A corporation could pass the Turing test, but we might consider it psychopathic or at minimum sociopathic.

According to Wikipedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentience

"Sentience is the capacity to experience feelings and sensations"

and by that definition if a lobster feels pain when you throw it into boiling water it is sentient.

Now that I think about it, it's hard not to think an octopus is sentient.
Can’t say about others, but with cumin it makes a huge difference.

But, again, we use ground fresh toasted cumin as is, usually sprinkled on the top of dishes. While, regular cumin is cooked with oil/ghee. Cooking toasted cumin will char/burn it.

I recommended this series to my friend after he finished reading The Expanse. I never thought to describe it as sci-fi comedy. Have you found any other good sci-fi comedy series?
None. A guild would fight with government for rights on his behalf.
Another point is it’s facile to try to make arguments based on semantics. “Their name has public in it” is not a serious rebuttal to “It’s not government media.”
But won't those morons just be replaced by morons on bikes, scooters and bicycles? Is that actually better for end user?
I'm not positive about this but I believe the virtual threads can yield at syscalls (i.e. IO calls). I don't think GUI application code is littered with these syscalls where a virtual thread can naturally yield so you get non-blocking for "free". Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken.
And it's the prerogative of any media company to take issue with that and stop using Twitter.
This is survivor bias. If you're a non-tech person signing up for a new service, the federation aspect is just wizard talk and it's not obvious what difference it makes. Most people do not want to go on side quests to find other people they know or figure out which digital village they live in, especially not as the first stage in the onboarding process.

I was so surprised by the first statement in your comment, that I stopped reading right there, and searched online to see if I could confirm/deny the statement. Then I wrote a reply without reading the rest of your comment.

I didn't say anything about editorial control.
I guess it would not be obvious from my post; I was born in a non-English speaking country; and after years of civil war, racism, xenophobia, and people shooting at me because of my name or perceived religion or ethnicity etc, I'm now in Canada, and happily, gratefully, excitedly so :)

But I am always wary of the risk and danger of my new country going the way of my old country. I don't think it's a given that Canada and Canadians will be tolerant, open minded, welcoming, friendly - and indeed, many people underneath their veneer, are not.

In this context, mentioning in my post that I'm english speaking is to acknowledge my privilege of not immediatelly appearing to some people as being an immigrant, poor, or different than some of my neighbours. I imagine e.g. a dark-skinned woman with a less Western name and more obviously non-christian, would find out some of these fine folks' true nature a lot faster :-/

Ask HN: Export Apple Notes as a Hugo Blog?
I use Apple Notes as my “Note down what ever” tool. It has a lot of useful notes that I wish I could deploy as a blog. I can’t seem to find a way to export Notes in anyway other than PDFs. Does anyone have any tips for me? It should be able to handle the images I have “paste”ed into the Notes.

I saw Montaigne.io on my Google search, but I want to avoid it because of the lock-in. I want something that I can self-host/hack on.
Do you know of many cases of children being mutilated for life from Tylenol? Also your assertion is just a wild guess.
I guess there is no problem? You only need the gpu to compute fancy 3d graphics in high resolution. For normal terminal stuff and low resolution plots, anything should work.
>> Sure, you can use superstition as a slur for things you don’t believe in.

> I’m not dictating what the word means

That is precisely what you are doing by trying to insinuate that I am using a "slur". You do not have the authority to conjure a belief system out of thin air, assert that it is true without evidence, and start dictating to people the manner in which they are allowed to speak about it.
And they were plagued with compatibility and performance problems.

Almost bought my niece an Android tablet with an x86 CPU. They were priced super low. Turns out there was a reason for that. Apps ran like shit and any games written using the Android NDK just straight-up didn't work.
I think it will be addressed by "community". For the last probably decade (maybe more) every online social space has been pressured to serve global scale. That increases surface area, and increases more strangers.

Smaller, more trusted rooms, will combat the threat of misinformation.

The universe is built on waves/cycles. I think we are going to see pressures to make smaller rooms because of AI.

I'm actually excited for smaller, more intimate spaces, with trusted people who now have 10x ability from the powers of AI. That seems like a LOT of fun.
We are coming full circle back to Usenet.
Funny you mention turbo/hotwire, I actually encountered a bug almost immediately after upgrading to Rails 7 where for some reason HTML5 video tags would work after a real page load but would not (with no error messages or anything) after a hotwire/turbo-"page"-"reload". I tore hotwire and turbo out and it worked.

Oh, this was only on iOS and macos Safari, of course. Worked fine on FF/chrome.
I will argue that what they want is a "work queue", not a message queue.

I've written about a somewhat similar problem in context of the Mats3 library I've made:
https://mats3.io/patterns/work-queues/

And yes, the point is then to use a database to hold the work, dispatching from that. In the Mats3 context I describe, the reason is to pace the dispatching to a queue (!), but for them, it should be to just run the work from that table. Also, the introspection/monitoring argument presented should be relevant for them.

That a message queue library fetches more messages than the one it is working on is totally normal: ActiveMQ per default uses a prefetch of 1000 for queues, and Short.MAX_VALUE-1 (!) for topics. The broker will backfill you when you've depleted half of that. This is obviously to gain speed, so that once you've finished with one message, you already have another available, not needing to go back to the broker with both network and processing latencies:
https://activemq.apache.org/what-is-the-prefetch-limit-for

In summary, I feel that the use case they have, "thousands of jobs per day", which is extremely little for a message queue, where many of these jobs are hours-long, is .. well .. not optimal use case for a MQ. It is the wrong tool for the job, and just adds complexity.
The winners get to write history. If you talk about history the winners left out, they feel they're about to lose.
Yes exactly. ChatGPT is exciting because it actually works, not because it’s the first AI chat program. If Microsoft had pivoted to it even 5 years ago they’d be a laughingstock like Meta.
Because not all government funding is federal funding.

I was going to mention the (at least) three different kinds of OO-y systems in R, but you already did. I think the reason that it's so hard for people to grok is that it's so old that a lot of code already exists, and a lot of that code is still used today!

Many libraries use different implementations of the same ideas for different things. It can be hard to handle if you're someone who likes to understand the whole system.

R is a fascinating language in its own right though. I'm not aware of many languages that give you first class control over environments as well or as easily as R. It can definitely enable some "lisp curse"-type code though.

R more than any language (even Scheme) lives the "build a DSL for your problem" dream that so many of us like from more standard languages. Consider the various ways to specify formulae for models; the very different ways to specify graphics in the base, GGPlot, and lattice libraries; and the various ways to to describe data transformations via the base functionality, the Tidyverse, the Tidyverse + Purrr, and data.table.
Seems like it worked for Singapore.

If people who sell Heroin die, then there will be less victims who will get addicted to such products.

Consumers who get addicted to Heroin are essentially poisoned (and nearly condemned to death) by their dealer.

It takes some time, but it would cleanup the whole situation, without putting the blame on regular consumers (who are eventually, step by step, pushed toward finding solutions to their addiction because sourcing the products is more and more difficult).

Yes, murders happen, even in peaceful societies. No matter if you have strong laws.

Now if you get rid of dealers, then, not only you have less drug issue, but you also have less murders due to less gang fights (as an interesting/bonus side-effect).

So, double benefit.
The unintended consequences?

> Those benefits can be difficult to achieve and difficult to measure, while this paper finds that such regulations frequently have a negative impact on investment in covered internet companies, with declines ranging from 15% to 73%.

A negative impact on investment in internet companies. I usually like Masnick's work, but this is laughable. Who does this harm - two groups. 1. Venture Capitalists and 2. People doing startups.

I think we can agree that Venture Capitalists not getting even more absurd returns on their money is an acceptable risk. It's a little harder to agree that not having as many startups is acceptable.

Still, it's merely a risk that not as many startups would get funded, not a guarantee. And even if so, should we value startups that much, we can do other things to help people create startups. Maybe universal health care, to allow people to break free from corporate employment. Changing laws about non-competes and that weird "your employer owns everything you create, even on your own time" law.
It's not up to them, the 4% of their revenue that comes from federal funds comes to them through member station payments. They don't control the member stations or how they are funded.

Also, how could they be any more open about this? If you listen to any NPR member station you'll hear an acknowledgement of federal funds like once an hour.

Well Apple are going pretty heavy into VR/AR with there product likely launching this year, so it's not just Meta that got caught up in that wave, a few years ago that was where a lot of people thought the future was, so that is where both Facebook and Apple seemed to put a lot of investment.

It's not done yet. AI is the current buzz because we are starting to see some great products and uses for it, we have yet to see that with VR/AR but that doesn't mean it isn't possible. It's still early, I am not a fan of the 'metaverse' idea, but VR/AR still has a lot left to give.
You're right. That was stupid, I'm sorry.

Thanks for your efforts!

Developers seem to be looking at these technological advancements and seeing, maybe even being wildly speculative about the benefits. However, when anyone brings up the very probable societal impacts, they stick to hand-waving assumptions and platitudes about societal advancements. AI, in the hands of developers, is extremely powerful. We all know what they say about power...
One could say that Voice Of America is state-affiliated. One cannot say the same of NPR.
Imagine an upgraded version of Musk - making some of these changes in a less contentious way.

I find the idea of labeling media outlets quite helpful. The initial state-affiliated label for NPR seemed like an unnecessary tarnishment. The updated "government-funded" label is better, but still not quite there. The idea elsewhere in this thread of labeling the approximate percentage of government funding is excellent and should not be offensive to anyone involved.
> The thing you really want to do, and every doctor should aim for, is to stack the placebo effect on top of a well-established treatment effect.

Our species has proven itself to be exceptionally bad at finding the middle ground between giving individuals the freedom to self-direct and allocating resources efficiently at scale.

These resource allocation problems exist at the national level, but also within even some of the smallest organizations and certainly everywhere between.

Being free of direct government funding does not make it free from editorial independence. You can listen and get an idea of their underwriting. They're clear to walk the line around a lot of topics to not upset their corporate and non profit overlords. We live in a corporatocracy and these companies and non profits are revolving doors for regulatory capture through lobbying and other methods.
