To a large degree this disruption is taking place in america. The payment for programmers/ content makers etc was so overvalued because the US market is so hot. The rest of world not so much
Those folks in the past had children because the children paid for themselves beginning about age 7 or 8, and were an ongoing source of labor, quality of life or not.
Is it though? The people I’ve met in construction across all spans of life are generally friendlier, healthier and happier than those working the desk jobs and earning more money.
Takata was sued by various parties (consumer class actions, at least one state) over their airbag defect although I'm not sure what the outcome was over and above the settlement by the various auto makers.

People can sue for pretty much anything and there's a good chance you have to (or at least should) get a lawyer if that happens. While it's arguably negligible, there is some risk in putting tools/code out there even if it's free and not warrantied.
With the rising number of single young adults, this will just feed the fire. We may eventually end up with a generation that is unequipped to deal with the responsibilities and demands of a real relationship.

On one hand, this is definitely not ideal. But on the other hand, I can't blame them for seeking the easy way. A good relationship requires almost unacceptable sacrifices for a young adult considering the rising costs and stagnant wages and the expectations from their partners and family and workplace. Not to mention potential complications such as cheating, abuse, emotional issues, and maybe even legal problems. Way too much risk for just too little gain.

A simulation has maybe 50% of the benefits and none of the downside. In a way, this is the result that we as a society has pushed for. And we might be about to pay a price for it.

Fiberglass repair is quite well understood. Part of the problem is some early turbine blades used wood cores which are incredibly difficult to repair. But if they used synthetic cores (coosa board) they'd have a stable core to repair for centuries.
Maybe they figure it costs more to repair than to replace, which could easily be true. Either way it's not a huge problem, look how much the average American tosses in the trash every week. But I'd still like them repaired
Cost of living is a factor, but the demographic shift we are seeing throughout the developed and developing world is well-documented and has many causes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographic_transition

I know a lot of 20 and 30-something urbanites who don't plan to have children and I doubt cheaper rent or free childcare would make them change their entire life trajectory. There's a lot of other factors at play.
Replicators seem to have developed well after — and probably as a result of — warp travel

>However, it is a complete other thing to say 'we'll fix this with more inclusion, yep, that'll fix it', this is the pinnacle of doing the least amount of effort, just like a convincing leader that use anecdotes to sell their vision..its cheap.

It's amazing how the article present five points and y'all are obsessed over this one point (which concerns the removal of RMS and open up for more diversity & inclusion). But sure buddy, that's the issue.
shrug I am not sure what you mean. The Python (or the C++ in the case of LLaMa.cpp) in the LLM repos is really simple. The complexity is hidden inside the ML libraries actually running it.

AI finetuning itself is almost like an art.
This can definitely be used as an alternative to Workers if you prefer self-hosting.

You can also use Deno Deploy (https://deno.com/deploy), if you want a Workers alternative but don't want to self-host
To be fair, many people would describe many of those activities as "useless". But I think you make a good point.
The main selling point to online shops would have to be a substantial reduction in fees compared to credit cards / PayPal. Most shops don't care about censorship since they wouldn't be affected anyway.
"Not all need be monetized."
There is only one reason the sea can rise currently due to weather and that is glaciers getting melted.

Another reason (but not due to weather) is that when land somewhere goes up, it will displace water everywhere else. And so, for example, if the land is still recovering from the ice age we should see ocean levels going up everywhere except for the pieces of land that are recovering from the weight of the glacier that is no longer there.

Mind that Arctic is not causing sea level rise. Any ice that is floating on water will not cause any water level change when it melts. (I know this is somewhat unintuitive but it comes directly from Archimedes principle)

So we are talking basically Antarctic ice and Greenland because these are by far the largest bodies of frozen water that are supported by land rather than floating on the ocean.

I think it should be pretty easy to observe how much of that water melted or slipped into the sea.

I also think that currently, coastal erosion is mostly caused by changing weather patterns. Basically this comes down to wind blowing in different directions, speed and variety and these changing patterns mean coasts are eroding in different places than before.
>Again, I've had this exact experience with people many times as well

There's a difference between some people sometimes needing to be reminded to do something, and them flat out not being able to do it due to fundamental cognitive limitations.

>"E.g. I just tested by asking GPT4 for a multiplication method and then asked it to use it on two numbers I provided and show its working, and it did just fine."

That's because GPT4 has been custom tuned and trained on that specific task as well, along with many others. It's that training, why it was necessary and how it works that the paper referred to previously was about.

This is literally the subject under discussion. You're using the fact the system was custom trained to do that specific task as is therefore good at it, along with other basic mathematical tasks, as evidence that it has a general ability that doesn't need to be custom trained.

This is what I'm talking about and as these models get better specific problem domain training two things will happen. One is that they will become dramatically more powerful and capable tools. That's great.

The other is that more and more people will come to fundamentally misunderstand how they function and what they do, because they will see that they produce similar results to humans in many ways. They will infer from that they work cognitively in the same way as humans, and will reason about their abilities on that basis and will make errors as a result, because they're not aware of the highly specialist training the systems had to go through precisely because there are very important and impactful ways in which they don't cognitively function like humans.

This matters, particularly when non specialists like politicians are making decisions about how this technology should be regulated and governed.
One project that I didn't see in the article was the rtos https://marte.unican.es/ which a number of prominent experiments use.
Is it? The number of teens that do things like date, have sex, drive, work, or hang out in person/go to parties has already fallen off a cliff thanks to social media.[^1] Who is to say AI won't make that trend even worse?

I don't disagree, but the compiler could insert it automatically when you need it. In those rare cases where e.g. you want to use a function called printf() that's not the standard printf(), you explicitly opt out of the default via a compiler argument, a #pragma, etc.
And you thought chatgpt was bad with subtle bugs in generated Python code. Now just imagine it scrapping a thirteen hour part or crashing a $300,000 machine.
Correct. Would you let someone that didn't go to medical school perform surgery on a loved one?

Nobody thinks there’s a biological cause to the demographic challenges so many nations look to be facing.

So what you’ve stated is true but tautological with respect to all of the potential causes of the bottleneck.

The real concern is getting through the bottleneck at all, and without societal upheaval.
Ask HN: How bad is the current draft trademark policy of the Rust Foundation?
I just heard that if you use the term "Rust" or the Rust logo you can be sued by the Rust Foundation. I love Rust, but this move makes me question a lot about the future of Rust.

RFC Form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdaM4pdWFsLJ8GHIUFIhepuq0lfTg_b0mJ-hvwPdHa4UTRaAg/viewform

IMO, Rust has gathered a lot of attention. And I know too much of something is harmful. This move says that Rust Foundation wants to gatekeep. I have heard a lot about how if you keep your circle small, you are able to reach great heights, since you are the average of the people you are with. Say a group of Rust elitist promoting the Rust project. It is good, but what about the newbies or the ones not endorsed by the Rust Foundation. Are they really such a nuisance?
I think the focus should not be about surviving and evolving into having the longest technological reach. But be more selfless, and let others put in efforts to reach that longest technological reach. In the end I think the Rust foundation should be fully ready to leave Rust in the hands of the next generation of hackers and dreamers.
Not fundamentally different, technically, just optimized for that low end. I think this model maxes out at 13A. And you're looking at your weld *through a microscope*.

Yes, silver has the fastest heat conduction of any metal. It's faster than copper.
From my evals on nat.dev I found claude instant to give great responses and yes, avg 3-4X faster than 3.5, but one big difference atm is that anyone can sign up and get access to gpt-3.5-turbo right now, but claude is still gated behind an invite/wait list. (I'm still waiting for access for example.)
Perhaps not "inspire", but if you can't rely on the prof for adequate direction and explanation what the hell are you paying for?
My perspective as an openly gay male with 20+ years of experience in software security, systems programming and distributed databases: Tech companies tend to be extremely supportive and welcoming of talent from diverse backgrounds. My proudest technical accomplishments have always been with a diverse group of peers, including straight white males who champion diversity. These people are heroes to me, but it’s not like they’re the type to gloat…

I’m not the best person to ask about movies, but most example of protagonist “hackers” that comes to mind include white males. Counter examples that come to mind are “The Web” (female), and Sens8 (transgender lead, helped by straight white male)…

That said, I may have misunderstood your point, but happy to correct it elaborate if I’m off base!
We are beyond family as a basic unit of human civilisation.
PayPal offers you a virtual account that you can pay money into. You can use that money to make purchases online, send and receive money from friends or other businesses. In effect, it acts like a bank account. However, it's not an actual bank account. In Europe, any money you put into that account is also not ensured by the government, like a normal account would.

If I pay with a credit card, there are processes in place to deal with fraud and charge backs. PayPal is well known to automatically close accounts with little recourse to access the money on those accounts.

They should absolutely be regulated.
interesting. So what is the upper limit of words and number of PDF files? Oh, I guess you told us in the title 100k? And this is with a token limit of 4000 or 8000?
This is cool, thanks for sharing.

I use a bash script to adjust brightness and contrast from the command line.

I invoke it as `brco 80` etc where 80 sets it to 80%. The script is:

$ cat `which brco`
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -euo pipefail

# use `ddccontrol -p` (probe) to find the following:
mydevice="i2c-7"

# brightness
ddccontrol -r 0x10 -w $1 dev:/dev/$mydevice &> /dev/null

# contrast
ddccontrol -r 0x12 -w $1 dev:/dev/$mydevice &> /dev/null
How is it an odd explanation? the opportunity cost of having children has risen dramatically, that tracks with improved quality of life.
I'm afraid you're trying to make system administration look much harder than it actually is. As an example, adding good defaults to your nginx config is automated by certbot, or you could use caddy. You could run your apps statelessly by containerizing your applications or by simply writing Ansible playbooks and then not have to worry about upgrades - you simply deploy the application on the new server and spin down the old one.
The one point compactification of the complex plane is not a number system in the normal sense of what that means. Calling the use of the notational convenience 1/infinity a true division operation defies the common usage of the term in mathematics. You may call it whatever you want to though.

The answer given to the person who asked the original question was the correct one. You can’t do it because doing so would break consistency and that is of paramount importance when doing new things in mathematics. There are agreed upon usages of terms and symbols in mathematics. Why call something division in the true sense of the word when it breaks the conventional usage of what that term means? But, also, why invent a new symbol to denote what is analogous to division? So we abuse notation. This is done all the time. So on the one had we’ll say to calculus 1 students 1/infinity is 0 but also say infinity is not a number. Things are done for convenience but when asked, “Is this really division?” the answer is no.

Of course you can redefine all terms you desire and say things like: A circle can be squared, I just mean something different when I say circle than when you say it. But why do that? All of this is my opinion. You disagree and that is ok.
That sounds like heaven. And you guys are using Rust! That’s like, double heaven!

Are you guys hiring ;)
Not really. You should at least take a look a personal liability settings in various EU countries before making your claims.
it’s a shame that cmos battery technology has remained out of grasp for car radio manufactures these dozens of years
>We (humans) are getting boiled like the proverbial frog.

This is such a primitive way of thinking. It's more of an instinct, where you consider by default that your sole value is in your ability to generate/work.
Why the hell are we working for? Isn't it to improve our lives? Or should we improve them up to the point where we still have to work?
Why not use the tech itself to find better ways of organizing ourselves, without needing to work so much? UBI and things like that. Why be such limited? Why only develop tech up to the point where we would have to work less but not at all, and who decides where that point is?
There's so much wrong in this framework of thinking.
That's from the "Cyber Resilience Act" link, and the "Product Liability Act" link has pretty much the same text in item 13.
I remember when I first started out on my college academic path I tried a semester at a community collage. I don't recall the name of the class but it was something to do with computers. I figured start off with something I'm already good at and see what I get out of the experience.

It became apparent very early that I was much more advanced than the instructor. So much so that I realized this person was woefully unqualified to teach anyone anything about "computers". I remember the day when he looked at me and out of earshot of the other students said something to the effect of "Don't tell anyone OK?".

My next semester I made sure was at a proper four year college for CompSci.

I don't look back unkindly at my experience as a whole for that community college, it just makes some of the issues in the OP article ring true. Smart people will know the quality of education they're receiving especially when they're having to pay for it.
I think the key is "be intentional". So if you take photos of old gas stations or buildings or whatever, the reason is because... say.. you are working on a documentary project. Or a photo book/essay.

BTW, I still also shoot with 120 film and had certain themes to work on (like "color", "flower", "morning activities", etc). If I want to take (lots of) random images, my phone or DSLR is always ready.

I understand your point, though. Probably lots of us urban photographers have more gas stations photos on their drives compared to their relatives :D

No it's not, there's no spool. It's tungsten electrode, inert gas. Feed wire and electrode diameters are, like, 0.3mm
I'm not a lawyer, but I see no way a sane and reasonable person could read this as "and if someone you've supplied the software in a foss & non-commercial setting to uses that software in a commercial way, you're on the hook for everything".

Yeah, it could be even clearer (but laws tend to not want to enumerate everything that is obvious or they'd become books), but it feels somewhat exaggerated. Or is the actual fear that commercial support services by the authors could trigger liability? As far as I understand, that has been a preferred way to get paid and remain not-liable for the original product.

If anything, this article exemplifies how much of a seismic change that GPT has wrought on our current tech scape. Everything mentioned feels utterly mundane by comparison, and yet are also what I imagined in 2021 what we’d be talking about in 2023
I think I am obsessed with aperiodic Penrose tilings. My 21 month old son's room has an area rug with such a tiling. I want to tile a bathroom in my house with them at some point. If you want to make my day, link a photo you have of one of these IRL.

It is such a wicked combination of beauty and math, like fractals.
Great job with this! Went through all the examples. Being able to learn with interactive exercises and an explanation is 100 times better than an explanation alone.
The scary part of nuclear deterrence is indeed whether it is able to continue to prevent nuclear warfare. As you imply, technical innovations can change the picture. And nuclear warfare with limited escalation remains a scary possibility. Especially between countries that don't have MAD capability. Let's be glad that so far cool heads prevailed.
>It's safe to say...

Genuinely curious - what makes it safe to say that?
Hi! Congratulations on the launch. I'm a big fan of what you folks are doing over there and I genuinely love your product.

Would love to keep in touch to see when the changes to this will happen. Also speaking as a ceo & founder, my natural inclination is to keep that culture going, small and avoid hiring a PM as long as possible. As I reflect on my operating time, I wonder if it was a mistake not to find the right Product Manager (sic) early so that they can be inoculated with the culture as we grow. My estimation is that the ramp time for this would be at least 6 months (a year?) to have that future product manager operate with the same founding ethos.

Lmk if you're open to chatting about it. I'm honestly super curious.
Is your visa still valid? If so, move to London anyways. You've already quit your job and sold your stuff. Chances are if you qualified for Google, you'll find work there. In for a penny, in for a pound, as the Brits say.

Ah yes, the old, life is so fulfilling when I'm a constant tourist, and also, climate change is bad but seeing a lot of the world is good.
Probably not, but I wonder if it would be prudent to try to ask for pre-hiring retention agreements. If you make me an offer and I accept, if you retract or downsize between that signature and 90 days after starting - then you pay me some amount?

But... few would probably agree to it for non-executive positions. Executives of course, play by different rules and can have all sorts of special things negotiated.

It's nice to know that Google is consistent in the use of the phrase "An update on...". If you see this, it's dead.
Michigan is the home of the US auto industry and that state is filled with politicians from the Democratic party. Ford and GM are making some mighty big vehicles and I'm sure their elected representatives (Democrats) are doing their best to encourage it.
This parallel lines in your photos are dolphin teeth's marks @suzzer99. Most are just scratches in the skin.
In my experience, it's easy to get paid doing useless things just because someone believes they may turn out useful anyway; and for some kinds of actually useful things it's pretty hard to get paid for doing them at all.

Replace people with living things. My argument still applies.

Even for nature photography people can be a part of it.

For nature though I typically expect a lot of animals not just landscapes, textures and macro shots of plants all the time.
IBM Selectric typewriters finally get DIY typeballs
IBM’s Selectric line of typewriters were quite popular in the 1960s, thanks in part to an innovation called the typeball which allowed for easy font changes on a single machine. Unfortunately, as if often the case when specialized components are involved, it’s an idea that hasn’t aged particularly well. The Selectric typewriters are now around 60 years old and since IBM isn’t making replacement parts, those restoring these machines have had to get somewhat creative like using a 3D printer to build new typeballs.
The new owner isn't being asked to pay. The company is being asked to pay.
Usually the respective clause just becomes legally void. This is different from you not accepting that clause. It doesn’t invalidate the license as such (even if the license would like that to happen).
Is there any legal basis for suing Google? This seems beyond egregious.
