I'll try. Here's two graphs which can illustrate the historical data.

https://i0.wp.com/eos.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/figure-... [1]

This first one is still a short timescale geologically, but shows pretty clearly how fast the change in global temperature is.

https://www.climate.gov/sites/default/files/styles/full_widt... [2]

This second one puts that change in a geological context. The Earth has been hotter than it is now, but for example, during some of those previous time periods you had crocodile-like ancestors living in the Canadian arctic regions. [2]

These graphs show why the 40 year timescale is relevant. On geological timescales that's not even a blink, but that's how fast the climate is changing right now. That's what makes it so scary, and why we need to act in an equally fast manner.

There's no shortage of people willing to be professors. It isn't clear that the incumbents are dramatically better than those who narrowly miss the cut. It might be that even better people are drawn to the profession (even in STEM) if there was an easier exchange between academia and industry. The challenge is actually that 'moonshot' or fairly theoretical stuff with long-term payoffs may be hard to evaluate.
It's basically too late to stay under 1.5 by just cutting emissions. By the time we do eliminate emissions, we're going to need air capture already scaling up.

Fortunately, it's possible for civilization to do more than one thing at a time.
Every week we are probably going to have "wow.." stories like this coming out..
Wild wild times
Has anyone done the math to see if this technology is ever going to be feasible? It seems really hard (best plant to date does 4000 tonnes/year) and you can't cheat physics.
Is this a true story? If so, do you have more details or source to read about?
If it's worse to attack someone then it is to damage property then why would it be ok to attack someone to stop them from damaging property?
In the 60s you could find a few local DJs, slide them a couple bucks or some reefer, and you’d get a non-trivial amount of ears.

With the sheer volume of online music and lack of people to bribe or sleep with, it’s very difficult for a new entrant to get known.
Must have changed in the years since I had one. They had a dedicated Bixby button that you couldn't assign to anything else and updates to Bixby would constantly mess with settings related to activating Google Assistant. Good to know things have gotten better.
I tried encrypting /boot once, but grub2 is painfully slow to do the key derivation that Linux does in a couple of seconds. I understood vectorization makes the difference. The better approach seems to use dm-verity to make sure it's not been manipulated and store any secrets it might need in the TPM. Just for the design. I am not an anarchist or similar target, so I still live with just an encrypted rootfs which should be good enough against a random laptop thief.
You could get close to a binary output with an option spread with a tight range of strikes (e.g. buying a call at price X, and selling a call at price X+1). If the stock price goes above the high strike it is a maximal payout one way, and below the low strike maximal payout the other way. If the strikes are close compared to movements of the stock and near the current price of the stock, the outcome is likely to be nearly binary. If the stock settles between the strikes the payout would be partial and continuous, but that window is very small.
I've been distro hopping for months now and found openSUSE the most stable and bug-free experience out of the main distros. I'm not sure why it isn't mentioned more often. People think more bleeding-edge distros have more bugs but I've found that to be the opposite and even IF something went wrong, it is automatically installed with a snapshot rollback feature!
> First, I was surprised about the idea that there must be an exact description of dangers before someone can investigate the dangers and consider them.

Of course there has to be a description of dangers before someone can consider them, otherwise how do we evaluate risk? How else do we know whether we are overreacting? It's not like the "ruin" people suddenly woke up yesterday morning in a panic. They have been talking about this for years. In all that time, there has been no dispassionate but thorough analysis of the dangers?
I think there's two reasons for this.

The query processing is fairly crude. For better or worse, it doesn't do much special processing. Which means you basically need a website that repeatedly says "list of CPU architectures" to rank well.

Most of the pages that contain such a title are also actual lists. The index de-prioritizes documents that are mostly lists or tabular data, as they're rarely very often false positives as they often contain repeated words.
The Metro touch UI first shipped on the Zune HD in 2009. The iPhone launched at the beginning of 2007, and the iPod touch later in the year. I don't think it's fair to say Apple had a 9 year head start.
It’s a “resource locator,” app for iOS, that helps people find other people, and gatherings of a particular organization. Basically, a very simple, secure, social media app.

Quite specific demographic and workflow.

Also, I won’t really be publicizing the app, when it’s done, because the last thing we need, is to have a bunch of curious people, with no interest in the organization, signing up for a quick look-see, then abandoning their accounts.
When I was younger, I really thought this was the be all end all, and probably committed more programmatic sins due to trying to achieve DRYness than anything else.

Often times it seems like we aim for DRY at the expense of simple, or idiomatic code. It also has a nasty habit of making code difficult to change since it leads to a lot of premature coupling, where someone sees a repetition and naively assumes that that needs to be eliminated, when it might literally be a naturally independent value.
But you can't determine if a statement is true by simply reading more words.

It's also not efficient for doing higher level work. There was a time before we had algebra where people were still expressing the same ideas but the notation wasn't there. Mathematics was expressed in "plain language." It's extremely difficult to read for us. For mathematician's of the time there was no other way to explain algorithms or expressions.

For simple programs I have no doubt that these tools enable more people to generate code.

However it's not going to be helpful for people working on hypervisors, networking stacks, operating systems, distributed databases, cryptography, and the like yet. For that you need a more precise language and an LLM that can reason about semantics and generate understandable proofs: not boilerplate proofs either -- they have to be elegant so that a human reading them can understand the problem as well. We're still a ways from being able to do that.
Measuring network quality to better understand the end-user experience
I'm perfectly fine with it as long as we don't count on it working or let up on the things we know will work.

Many times when I've had a difficult problem and haven't been able to gain much ground against it, the point when I started to see success was when I started to attack it from every angle I could think of. Not one after another, but all at once. Part of that is about figuring out what works, but it's also about the combined effect of everything. (And I'm sure part of it was that it was the same moment when I decided to get serious.)

If this is that, then I support it. If this is an excuse not to do the other things, then obviously I don't.
Allowing massive conglomerates to exist has already led society to a VERY bad place already.

Anyways, besides that, impersonation for personal gain or to cause disadvantage is already criminal. If Drake wants to do something about that, he can.
The companies spent all the money this year on R&D expenditures. That was cash out of their pocket (they spent it this year, so it reduced this year's cash on hand). The effect of the rollback is that they can now only count 20% of those expenditures to reduce their profits (and, by extension, their taxes) this year, so they are paying taxes this year on the remaining 80%. While yes, the profits are higher, the cash is not any higher, and cash pays the tax bill.

Note, this was not an "unexpected" change (it's been in the code), but it WAS unexpected that the provision was not extended.

Note that this affects not just startups. My wife's firm is a small, employee-owned, non-tech S-corp. This hit them as well. It resulted in tax bills for the shareholders approximately 25-30% greater than the firm's accountants expected them to be. The shareholders are on the hook for those higher taxes, although the company did the right thing and distributed extra cash to them to offset the higher taxes.
Sorry, I put the wrong number in my comment. You can see the LLMs can understand it properly. Here's a screenshot where I just double checked: https://i.imgur.com/Xu1X2zC.png
That's a public health crisis and little different circumstance don't you think?

If you're in a profession with a license you are expected to follow a code of ethics. If you violate it, the profession in its interest to protect itself, can and rightfully will remove you.

For example, licensed a professional social workers are not to have sexual relations with their clients. If found doing so their license is revoked and their name is publish in professional magazines and news letters.

The same is applied to Engineers. If a licensed professional Engineer is found to be faking data to make a car appear more safe they are out of a license and career.

If a Doctor is found to be reporting false information to the public during a public health crisis I would say that's a huge ethical violation and I expect their profession to remove them, promptly.

If we're comparing how Western free society handled Covid versus China I think we can agree that the Western society has been significantly more transparent and were not locking people inside apartment buildings.
I tried your website thought of a question to ask and then your bot said something about scammers and needing to sign up.

Some meddling advice
1) think about giving an easy-win to users so they actually want to sign up. You didn't give one, and in fact surprise users in an annoying way because you don't tell users they need to sign up until after they've already submitited their question. Not even a teaser, just completely zero value.

2) be upfront when you're affiliate with a product. HN isn't totally against about self-promotion, but you have to be upfront about it being your product and not just a cool thing you're using.
exactly the same as push load balancing when it doesnt receive the instance's response due to network failure, but the state is modified
Bad Incentives and the Politics of Fear
What happens when that specific server goes down?

Good point.

You'll have to failover to a different server, which brings you back to an automatic load balancing strategy.

Or to a manual load balancing strategy. What I have in mind is being able to easily re-direct users from one server to another using a simple CLI utility. This won't entirely eliminate downtime issues but it will (hopefully) mitigate effects to a manageable level.

In the era of cloud computing, downtime has become less of an issue.

This is one of those things that sounds _very simple_, but in practice is incredibly complicated.

I like attempting to simplify supposedly complicated issues. What I have in mind is simply counting the requests each server handles and using this as a simple measure to compare utilization. It's true that all requests are not equal but statistically, over time, with all servers being similar, the differences will tend to balance out.
This website has a long story of teaching tech. Almost every french programmer have made their first step thanks to them. It started with PHP about 15 years ago as leSiteDuZero and became https://openclassrooms.com/en/courses (now available in English) in my opinion the best place to get started on any professional topic. programing language, Career, Management.
> Within the same walking distance

Aye, but I bet GP's home town in Spain is much more pleasant to walk in from November to March ;-)

That aside, there are some real gems among Western Mass towns! I wonder, with all the empty land in this country (even in places very hospitable to human life), if it's possible to found new towns built in the "European" model of a central plaza surrounded by multifamily, mixed-use developments within walking distance? Were I a billionaire, this is the sort of stuff I would explore.
I work only with closed source codebases and this approach for prototypes, but, using the same example as the blog i prompt: "the current system is an online whiteboard system. Tech stack: react, use some test framework, use konva for the canvas, propose a file organization, print the file layout tree. (without explanations)." The trick is that for every chat the context is the requirement+the filesystem + the specific file, so you don't have the entire codebase in the context, only the current file, also use gpt4, gpt3 is not good enough.

My main point is that the blog post final output is mock test awareness hook redux, where an architect feels good to see his patterns, with my approach you have a prototype online whiteboard system,
I'm not sure if that is truth (today). The majority of stocks have been doing a massive nose dive within the past year. I own stocks of approximately 10 different companies. All, except AAPL, under water. So - 90%. In contrast, defense and healthcare stock market has seen a different trend. I own zero of these.

Well one example is infrastructure...if a formerly-rural area gets a gradual accumulation of homes, chances are they are all on septic systems...so people are using their property for waste water recycling, and there is a limit to how dense this type of living can be.

I grew up just outside a decent-sized city in Canada, now living in Texas...both places, on septic. Its not rare.
No insult intended... I don't really know how much it applies in your case, but since you really took on that viewpoint, that's when the personality theory side of me goes, "well if this is a favored viewpoint then there IS this idea about the population that favors this viewpoint" :-) And thoughts about GPT are generally crafted from general personality positions, in the absence of other relevant self-development experience.

I agree, it's cool stuff
I am indeed in Canada.

I wonder what it would cost to import a car from the US. I'd happily do a road trip to Seattle to get an Ioniq 5 right now.
My immediate thoughts:

1. The human brain must be doing something analogous to this, continuously, to learn from a relatively small numbers of samples.

2. Going forward, generating high-quality synthetic data looks likely to become a standard practice for training models.

3. Whoever has the largest, highest-quality synthetically generated datasets will have the best-performing AI models.

Recommend a book? I never knew where to start with jung. Also, was his work research based or was it mostly speculative?
> and stick with it

I think this is the key here. You're going to be the FNG (<expletive> New Guy) for a while. So choose your sport and level wisely. Most leagues that I have come across have at least two, if not three or four, levels. Where, say, the "A" level is for folks that played in high school, maybe even college, while the "C" level is going to be accommodating to someone who is just picking up the sport as an adult.

And really, sucking at the sport could be advantageous in terms of socializing. "Hey, anyone want to run some skill drills next Wednesday evening? We'll meet at <local park> at 6:00 PM, practice for an hour, and if anyone's up for it we can go to <pub next door> afterwards." Yeah, you might only get one or two takers if most of the folks have kids but that's just part of adult socializing.
I bought a Netgear WAX202 and been pretty happy with it. At the time I bought it, I found it difficult to find many other 802.11ax models supported by OpenWRT here in Canada. I was also happy that it supported 802.11ax on both 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz bands, the latter of which is often missing. I'm not sure how valuable it will be, but that is the first major upgrade to the 2.4 GHz band since 802.11n (2009!) and I tend to keep my routers for a long time.
> These have been around forever, and were promised/touted to eliminate jobs. But 15 years later the machines are hardly fully-automated. They are prone to malfunctioning. Not only that, but stores, understandably, are paranoid about theft.

I was thinking about this the other day at the grocery store.

All manual checkout lanes were closed, and 5 automated ones were open. 5 people were standing around chatting while keeping an eye on the automated lanes, for the inevitable situation where either the machine screws up, or a counterintuitive UI quirk confuses customers (in my case, you have to move to payment to see discounts applied on sale items).

I'm sure it pays dividends during the busy times, and not 8pm, but still. I have to wonder at the economics of it. Times like I'm describing have to cut into the operational savings.
In this case, we do need to imagine. It would be unreasonable to infer that there was such a bidding war, and the city with the company HQ in it happened to win.
Sounds like the free lunch is over. Maybe my view is too simplistic, but Coinbase facilitates the sale of "assets" that the buyer expects to increase in value. By definition, that's a security, right?
I've never looked into this, but I'd assume that a stock's price being the same as it started on any given day is one of the rarest results.
The agronomy research company I worked for in college had a small IT department of three programmers/DBAs. They ran Oracle on a big Alpha with some older vaxen serving in auxiliary roles. They had bunches of programs written in VAXBASIC over a couple decades that ran the company, managing the hundreds of thousands of seed strains they were testing.

I’m sure they’ve transitioned in the two decades since, but back then there wasn’t any off the shelf software for their purposes and it would have been an enormous time sink to port over all those old programs.

DEC’s role in the tech industry was enormous and platform transitions can’t happen overnight. OpenVMS provided DEC customers with a lifeline. (Also, VMS != Unix)

Today’s tax day in the US and my bet is that some 50 year old COBOL program running on an IBM zServer is computing over your data.
Honestly, I disagree. It's not like queue systems are rare. They're fairly common and they're often seen as an over complication! Once and only once queuing is hard. Async programming is hard.

Streaming requests or responses is out the window! Now you're storing the full request and response blobs in your infrastructure instead of chunks at a time in the network layer. Is a whole Netflix movie queued? If we're talking about queued chunks then its just UDP you're describing.

Connection oriented designs tend to more transparency end to end. The synchronous nature means a failed call can be bubbled back through the remote call chain. Failed async calls can be dropped, which leaves ambiguity. The callers need to resort to timeouts instead of closed connection signals.

Not to mention the issue that this doesn't work for client calls. The response handling from the client is more complex. The async callback would need to be demuxed such that a response can be associated with a call. There's no open connection so you'd need to punch the firewall somehow...honestly its very messy.

> You want a process that spies on other processes to build a database of what files they touch

It's basically an extension to the VFS that would maintain atime and some additional metadata to it, what's so horrible about it?
If you bombastically claim something then don't be surprised if people are going to test that claim.

> Yes and no. This kind of thing only works if it's practically done worldwide. Otherwise it'll only hurt the EU a lot economically.

I agree, but at least EU would get a head start and have companies and knowledge built up around greener technologies. Sooner or later the rest of the world will have to adopt greener solutions even if they don't want it now. Either because it will be cheaper than oil and coal or because they notice they have more fires than water around.

Electric cars, electricity produced from wind and solar etc will be much cheaper than coal and oil based solutions so it just needs a little push right now to kick out the incumbent.

And not to mention the national security perspective. With wind and solar production we get rid of dependence from countries like Saudi Arabia and Russia. In the event of war the country is much more resilient as electricity for heating, cooking and transportation is produced locally and spread out on buildings etc instead of a few massive plants.
Depends on what you consider a "Security". Are "Securities" meant to be used as currencies?
GitHub: Incident with Actions, Issues, Pull Requests and Webhooks
I had only used my Atari 800, Apple II,DOS PCs and Macs in the 1980's.

In 1991 I went to a new high school and we had a VAX running VMS. I was amazed that hundreds of users could be logged into the same machine all doing their own thing. A buggy program could crash with no threat to any other program you ran or any other user running their programs. Sending email and phone / chat messages was really cool.

Then I found the Unix SunOS and AIX systems and liked them far more.

I learned that multi user systems went back decades but at the time I didn't really know and felt like something very powerful was lost going to these small personal computers with so many memory and operating system limitations. Of course learning about the vast price differences quickly made me realize why.
If I can only deduct 200k of the 1m I spent that inflates my net profits by 800k that I dont actually have, because I spent it on what I thought was an expense.
As the world becomes more interconnected people will need to accept that names will vary widely.

BTW my SO was a teacher in an area that had very creative and diverse names. She thought it was great. And certainly easier than a classroom with four 'Brian's.
so...can we split knowledge part and reasoning/improving/refining part, and make LLM to smaller one?
