Both “anarchism” and “anti-globalism” (the former largely as a result of fairly recent cooption, the latter inherently in being a label of opposition not specifically tied to the ideological reason for opposition) have both far-left and far-right versions, and that remains the case. Neither is universal on the left or the right, either, because while anarchism in the narrower historical sense is connected to socialism, there are obviously socialisms that are not anarchist (even without going to the extreme of Lenin/Stalin/Mao vanguardist approaches).

I disagree that, within the left and far-left, the anarchist or anti-globalist segments have recently retreated. OTOH, in the United States, the old (peaking around 1990) overlapping center-right neoliberal globalist faction forming the moderate wings of both major parties has faded in the Republican Party, leading the remaining segment of it – which is the dominant faction of the Democratic Party – to be called “left” (and sometimes “far left”) by Republican partisans.

It's not like the kotlin DSL comes without problems. Configuration time is most of the time about doubled compared to Groovy, type hinting and completion often end up being slower _and_ worse than Groovy, and if you're lucky, your IDE suddenly can't find a random extension in your classpath and your entire build.gradle.kts or plugin becomes a red, squiggly mess.

Unfortunately, Gradle is the best build tool I've used for complex systems. And it still fucking sucks.
It is here. There was a post today about someone who trained an LLM on chat logs from his college days and was able to reconstruct that kind of conversation. I think of We can build you by Phillip K. Dick or the early version of “Here After” from the Hechee Saga books by Pohl.

People cloning your voice and scamming your family, friends and business associates is a clear and present danger right now.

> Even for gaming it's a lot more competent than you'd expect, especially for games that have been ported to Silicon. WoW runs at over 100fps (NB: 1440p, 165hz gaming monitor) with settings turned up pretty high. Factorio runs awesome, and just got a silicon port that bumped performance another 20% or so.

WoW doesn't need much hardware to run. What is the fps on the gaming rig for comparison?
My point was more that we're already being conditioned to think that verifying your identity on Social Media shouldn't be seen as a big deal, because in some cases you get a "cool" badge or broader reach out of it, thus leading to less outrage if a broader version of this hit the rest of the U.S. There are people who use social media without the desire to remain anonymous as the entire "social" aspect implies that you're going to be sharing details of your life with others in some way, and if they only wanted to share to close friends they'd make their profiles private? This especially impacts platforms like Instagram and Facebook, Link Aggregators like HN hardly fit into this at all, and any bill that hits the senate floor would likely make their scope incredibly clear to target specific social media platforms where hateful and inappropriate content is usually spread, as the OP Article states: "shielding minors from the harmful effects of social media" .
Me too. Ballmer's reaction to the iphone was not obviously stupid at the time, especially given Microsft's business model of direct enterprise sales.
That sounds like hyper-cynical hyperbole. For example, we trust the NY Times more than a random blog because the NYT has a long-established reputation for rarely printing inaccurate info and printing corrections when they do. And obviously it's not about trust vs no trust, it's always a matter of degrees.

I think something akin to a mashup between Engleberts augmentation, Nelson's Xanadu (r) and Bucky's tensegrity system would make a great accompanying knowledge management system to manage branching conversations with AI, after a while handling the content generated becomes a task in itself. Visualising the created data would be ace.

Word processors give control over page layout and text formatting, even if in pre-graphical days they didn't provide preview of that formatting in real time. Text editors don't give you any such control.

There is a whole school of thought about separating the creation of content from the formatting of content. Some think modern word processors impose an expectation that the creator of content also needs to format that content. Modern word processors like Microsoft Word enforce this by applying default formatting and presentation settings to all documents, and in doing so reduce compatibility and increase file size. If you don't like Microsoft's defaults, you have to go through the effort of changing those defaults, and learn to create and save the default template unless you want to manually make changes every time you create a new document. None of this has anything to do with the creation of content, only with its appearance, which of course may be important to you.

In non-WYSIWYG word processors, formatting and page layout are governed by configuration settings, embedded codes, etc. Files created in Word 5.0 weren't readable in WordPerfect 4.2, for example, unless conversion software was used.

Text editors impose no formatting at all, unless you consider default character set and line endings "formatting." You can change the appearance on the screen if you want, but the file you create has no native font style, no character or paragraph formatting, and your choices of appearance make no difference if you open your file in another editor. You don't need a word processor to create your content; you can easily open your text file in Word or Pages to format the document as needed.
I'm over 50, and have gotten used to using color as a way to distinguish rather than exact shades.

I use my start menu about 3 times a month on my windows machine, and I both game and develop on it. Everything that I use often gets pinned to the taskbar. Virtually everything else is run from a command line. I went to inspect my start menu just now because I was so unfamiliar with actually looking at it. I haven't found it to be useful past the search feature in years.
As an unhappy single with two past relationships, lots of experience in many crazy things including most drugs, let me tell you that times where you truly love someone while knowing they truly love you back, in other words true mutual love, are probably the most beautiful times in the world one can experience: Holding someone in your arms wishing you‘d die right then and there because you know you have peaked in non-drug-induced happiness.

And nothing is worse than the fear of never experiencing it ever again.

It took 6 years of active searching to find my first love and 3 for the second. Those despair inducing time frames and the acquired knowledge about how hard it really is to nurture and maintain relationships beyond the love, as a hypersensitive loner on the spectrum with mental illness makes me despair.
> 13% of member station funding comes from government sources

What is the source of this number? Also is 4% as opposed to 1% a change that alters any of the underlying fundamentals ?
In a startup there is a technical team tasked with creating the product. How it's done, who does what, etc isn't too important from the perspective of the company leaders.

It sounds like you're a useful member of that team doing things like tagging and scripting. Maybe you are too inexperienced to do coding work or maybe they just need someone to do those tasks and you were willing to do them so it works.

If you want to do something different, then it sounds like you need to look for a different job. Your boss is kind of right - a big company will put you in a narrow specific role like "frontend developer on the gmail inbox team". Some people like that and some people hate that.

If you join a big company, you will be treated only as a developer. You'll be writing features, reviewing other people's code, and going to lots of meetings. You will be surrounded by mentors and your manager's main focus will be helping you grow your career. It's a great place to be inexperienced and to learn skills.

However, some people find that kind of work monotonous, they hate all the meetings, and they want to have a more of generalist role instead of being typecast into a narrow type of work. Those people enjoy working in startups.
I get the eerie feeling that it actually might be, and I agree we're just along for the ride, though I'm open to the possibilities of a wide range if outcomes, some of which include humans and some of which don't.
With the dynamic-programming you don't need the reverse trie indeed.
That is also not the case.
Did your dad ever search online trying to learn new things about the software? I've seen the experience you describe happen with people spontaneously discovering Ctrl+L and Ctrl+R in bash, e.g. in a comment here on HN. They could have found it years ago if they'd searched for "list of bash features" or whatever.

My point is that your example is not necessarily more than "a better search engine" (with all caveats about it not being "search"). People are asking ChatGPT things that they could have searched for previously. Some of it is because it can provide a better search-like experience, for sure. Some of it is, "let me play with my new toy", and getting answers the old toy could have given you.

I'm addressing your specific example, not making a blanket comment on LLM intelligence. And to clarify, I've also used these models in ways I could have before, for both of those reasons. They do offer a productivity boost.

You're not alone (pun intended). Record numbers of Americans, men and women alike, are single.

> Nearly 118 million Americans, or about 46% of those over 18 years old, are single, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. But that percent is actually much higher for women—a record-breaking 52% of them are unmarried or separated as of 2021, according to a recent report from Wells Fargo Economics.

You know, the guilt by association kind of makes sense. Nazis have an ideology of violence/hate at their core - by being associated with Nazis, you tend to accept this. Therefore, it's ok to perceive you as one too.

I can't say about communists, as there are so few around these days.
Anyone had a look at those questions?

> Question 2: In a country where everyone is identical, 100 people wait in line each day to buy raspberries at a controlled price. The government has decided to hand out free coffee to the people standing in line. The coffee costs the government $1 per cup, but the people in line value that coffee at only 75 cents per cup. What is the social cost of providing the coffee?

> Grading Remarks: This answer completely misses the key fact that free coffee will cause the line to get longer (in fact it must cause the line to get longer, given the stated assumption that everyone is identical, hence initially indifferent between standing in line and not standing in line). In fact (unless one assumes a very small population), the line must grow until the extra waiting time completely dissipates the value of the free coffee; thus the social cost of providing the coffee is $100.

Wait what? So the line must get longer, *given the stated assumption that everyone is identical*. Well what about the given stated assumption *that 100 people wait in line each day*? One of the stated assumptions can be dropped just like that, while the other is treated like a law of nature? Also where is the logic in "everyone is identical, hence initially indifferent between standing in line and not standing in line"? Am I missing something?
It's very hard to beat Debian. I've been using it for 5+ years and it's such a pleasure. The stability combined with an excellent package repository made converting windows people very easy.
Yes, every organization when faced with potential budget cuts refers to all of their budget as "essential". This should not be surprising.
> I've never even had a recruiter that could find me the job I wanted.

I have, a few times. But it's a recruiter that I've been working with for over 20 years, and they know me well, know what my strengths and interests are, etc. Even when they cold-call me asking if I might be interested in a position, they already know that the position will interest me.

That said...

> you're your best advocate here.

Is 100% true. Nobody knows or cares about your needs as much as you do. Even my good recruiter is in it for their own financial interests, not mine, in the end.
Why wouldn't the universe observe itself with no ability to change the initial conditions? Why do we have to have free will? It's still a win, vs no self awareness. I think.
Even if it did, it will be useless because fingerprinting (of various kinds - whether TCP or TLS stack, doesn't even have to be JS-based) will still tell which browser you're running on.

Worse, it may actually make you more identifiable because a Chrome on Linux user agent with the TCP fingerprint of Windows and TLS fingerprint of Firefox is going to stick out like a sore thumb, even more than a rare-but-at-least-consistent fingerprint with no trickery.
A fair complaint, but I didn't put the comparison; the poster I responded to did.
Wrong conclusion, just because if you're are not paying, you're the product doesn't mean, if you are paying, you aren't the product.

It's just: you are the product, no matter if you pay or don't pay.
Is it the same on sport watches? They seem to easily do 24h when doing GPS tracking. That is the popular models there are watches that can track more than 100h (but they always have bigger batteries). This is impressive for me since I remember doing tracking back in 2005 and that meant using lots of batteries.

On phones I think the problem mainly is that the GPS needs to wake up an app that need to handle the GPS data and then do some calculations. You can easily get data ten times a second that is alot of wake up from sleep, and probably draws lots of CPU.

In addition, do check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhang_Zhixin, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lin_Zhao, and https://www.rfa.org/english/news/china/politics-guilt-092820.... Mind you, the "crimes" these people "committed" were deemed serious by the progressives during those times. Yeah, so much for the left wanting to censor information.
You're just waiting for someone to attempt this argument, and now you have, and so I get to make the simple observation: the research results establishing heritability use the actual scientific definition of heritability, not whatever definition is most intuitive to you. When you reference those results while redefining terms they're using, you invent new, bogus results out of whole cloth.

That this happened here is evident from the fact that you've been reduced to arguments like "IQ is genetically determined because my cat can't play chess".
Wow! Lucky me I never got that but this is the typical MS policy for the last 20 years to abuse the fact they have almost no competition :-/ It's like buy a car coming with ads already painted all over.... Sad.

Firefox user but relatively ignorant on how tracking works.

FF does some good things to work around fingerprinting, although simply using FF puts us in a pretty small (marketable) group in the first place.
I guess I've been a "volcel" for almost 4 years now after an almost 20 year relationship.

I have pretty mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, I get lonely, intensely lonely at times. And I miss the companionship I had (before it got awful.)

On the other hand, I have so much time now to just focus on myself and my kids and my career and hobbies and my mental well being. I've increased my income a lot in the last year and re-sparked hobbies from my youth.

But frankly, I am miserable. I don't know if meeting someone else would solve it, or whether it would just be me escaping (again) from my own demons.

Being alone is one of the toughest things I've experienced. You're forced to be with yourself, all the time! There is no escape, where you can go hug or chat with your significant other. If you don't like yourself, or you have some underlying issues, you have to face it head on - and it's brutal.

I'm trying to be comfortable, even happy, on my own. But it's a slow, grueling process of self awareness and conscious self care.

Dating seems dire these days as well. Tech is a terrible industry for meeting someone. And online dating, which I've tried a few times, I found incredibly tiring and frustrating.

I feel like there is a rise of apathy towards dating and relationships in general. I know many people who are single and sick of it all. It's all kind of depressing and I don't have an answer.
It was his, that doesn't mean the origin story is correct. Also he's not an government employee so what is the newsworthiness of any of it?
I believe there are a lot of assumptions baked into your argument that are going undiscussed. Foremost being that queuing all requests is even desirable. For certain workloads that may be the case, like ingesting event data, but for others queuing the requests doesn't make the service any more available than not queuing the requests.
It’s a good enough product with recurring subscription revenue. There’s zero reason to innovate. Everything is a cost, and it’s unclear that customers actually want “better”.
Not in the circles I move in.Sounds like paranoia to me...
I'm in my late 20s and honestly its just sort of hard to care about this anymore.

I fully acknowledge I'm not attractive and generally weird people out. I'm over it.

That said, since I'm very interested in keeping my health in good shape I'm not interested in anyone who isn't at the very least in half decent shape or doesn't have some kind of baseline college education.

Fortunately, I've still been able to date about ten people in my twenties and I've learned from each relationship but nothing has necessarily been "long term". Fortunately, in these cases I didn't really compromise standards and enjoyed my time dating.

To be frank, I have no idea how people who constantly have girlfriends do it? My best guess is they have way more energy to socialize or are just way more attractive than I am.

A single thread on a not-ancient system should have no problem serving the amount of requests this page is probably facing, given efficient code.
Good, now they just need to change the Snipping Tool so that it automatically saves snapshots to a folder other than the one that's buried in appdata.
> Those don't have money to fund studies about industry best practices. So you don't get many.

Your comment reads like a strawman. I didn't needed "studies". It was good enough if there was a guy with a blog saying "I used postgres as a message broker like this and I got these numbers", and they had a gitlab project page providing the public with the setup and benchmark code.
Infinitely far, imo.

A LLM can minic a person, but it is all artificial and not at all intelligent. We humans anthropomorphize everything so we fool ourselves into thinking mimicry is the same as personality.

The flaw in "LLM will become intelligent" thinking is that it supposes that, if only we load enough data into the LLM, it will become intelligent. Intelligence uses data; LLM merely mimics intelligence (with random errors which we overlook since we anthropomorphize it).

Case in point: George Hotz has said "Tesla is going to win Level 5 [...] because it is collecting data on a scale that nobody else is." Yet, four years later, Tesla is still struggling to make self-driving work reliably.

Similar sentiment like in the “Jobs said MS had no taste” top level comment. Putting tabloid ads in the most sacred part of your most famous product ever is the exact opposite of making the bottom of your laptop or the back of your desktop beautiful.
Sorry about any lecturing.

We should skip the Apple vs Microsoft debate. It has no value.

Awesome! I can see myself using this everyday.

Are you using LangChain? I'm curious, and if you are, which agents are you experimenting with (such as SERP API)?

Additionally, have you tried playing around with "Question Answering with Sources" (https://python.langchain.com/en/latest/modules/chains/index_...)? If so, how effective has it been in practice?
I do think there is a pretty extreme overlap between generative AI early adoptors and people who are excited to spend half of their waking hours interacting with an AI assisstant. Interest in the raw tech fades pretty fast the further you get from very online groups.

That said, the new tech is powerful and likely to have a large impact, just not as much through new interfaces as the hype suggests.

Unfortunately I think the biggest use-case for generative AI in the medium term will be automating away middle class jobs. The cabability is looking very possible, and the profit motive is immense. Despite the fun creative uses and the strong PR, the development of this tech is extremely profit focused.

Everyday people will likely feel the effects of this tech, but it mostly won't come in the form of fun and games.
