My daughter (11) has to constantly be reminded not to pick her laptop of by one hand, by the edge, holding it horizontally. She just doesn't "get", no matter how often I tell her, that it results in stress on the hardware and kind wind up breaking it.
Nothing in the animal kingdom has purpose, only accidental functions which luckily support the accidental functions of other things. To self-replicate, to be sure; to eat and be eaten, primarily, is the purpose of most animals in terms of where they "fit in."
Yeah, why not allow for 3-row wagons and the return of 3rd rows with reversed seating? It seems like an easy win for some families who have to choose between an SUV or van.
Cattle are no different from any other herbivorous ruminant in terms of methane production, and the wild population is larger than our own herds.

Do you also propose we exterminate every wild deer, elk, moose, buffalo, hippopotamus, elephant, giraffe, etc?

Yeah, it seems it did eventually. Yet, I'm surprised that it took a whopping minute (25% of total flight time) to ignite after deviation from the flight plan. Was that intended too?
It was introduced in Vista, deprecated for external use a bit later but the servicing system is still a heavy user of it.
I singled out The Guardian because it's the one I read daily, to learn what happened yesterday.

The Guardian (and The Scott Trust) is institutionally biased. It backed the Balfour Declaration, and to this day it remains pro-zionist. It's also pro-war, and backed the invasion of Iraq. It's got a lot worse since the Assange dremels-and-angle-grinders affair; it has become the primary mouthpiece of the UK security services.

It has the reputation of being a leftie paper; but that's an illusion. It holds up the left end of the Overton Window, and reliably backs the extreme right wing of the Labour Party. Its attacks on Jeremy Corbyn were consistent and cringe-making; even the token leftists in the newsroom were forced to join the pile-in.

I call it a commercial news source, because that's exactly what it is; it's a business.

I don't call any source "unbiased"; as I said up-thread, I don't think unbiased reporting is possible.
If you believe their success to be organic or in anyway comparable to your average western company, you are Mistaken.

They and other countires work in a much different way in terms of tech and company successes.

Its still a good story but not really comparable, similar to the stellar success of Aramco.
I guess the question is, how can an upcoming generation fight against the locked-in self-enriching greed of asset owning generations in a non-destructive way? Visible suffering of homeless in the streets has done nothing to change the minds of homeowners in the Bay Area. What if anything will? I personally have little hope in my own generation (Gen X) doing anything different from boomers since the incentives are the same.

Also, LLMs are biased, but through prompt engineering and other techniques, you can produce neutrally-written text.

I realise now that my messaging with this project is off. What would more accurately explain the purpose of this project is to reduce the effects of sensationalism and indoctrination in the news.

In other words, provide a platform for readers to make up their own opinions on news stories by filtering out the positive/negative language and putting as much focus on facts as possible.

Even if NewsNotFound articles are only 90% neutral, that's 90% BETTER than reading the same story from a sensationalist source.
By loophole do they mean lots of highways?
Nice read, but I couldn't help but thinking there's a narrative here that goes like: "Yes, we've convinced your bosses to replace you with ChatGPT, but here, have some drugs."

I don't think that's what's going on, but it gives me a chuckle to think about.

Seriously though... decent article about a serious subject that frequently gets dismissed out of hand.
So are you saying that the US is actively trying to get invaded by moving TSMC out of Taiwan?
some of these reasons are quite contrary to my experience:

Do only the parts of your job you enjoy the most

Being asked to create documents, tutorials and presentations on all aspects of your job, and endless handoff meeting is pretty much the least enjoyable.

Take unused vacation time

wait, giving notice and then scheduling vacation during your notice period?! I think that would be poorly received and raise a lot of eyebrows
To be honest, I wasn't trying to push any point, although in hind sight it appears I was. The idea that the soil below the solar panels can thrive sounds great, it looks like an absolute win-win: you get both cheap electricity and better soil.

But articles are trying to always show big numbers, and without context it is hard to know what these numbers mean. 70k hectares is not that much. A better way to play the area angle is, in my opinion, this: if we properly electrify the US, we can stop making bio-ethanol. The US is using 12 million hectares of arable land for that; that can be put to better use.
So basically their problem is "New Thing Scary, Grug No Like"?
In a situation where there is already too little affordable housing and relatively finite construction infrastructure or land, then it seems plausible that an increase in the construction of luxury housing will result in a decrease in the construction of affordable housing.

My neighbors are currently organizing in opposition to a proposed 36-unit apartment building on a commercial lot. The developer held a community meeting, and the opponents impressed themselves by getting 150 attendees to show up. "We're tired of these NIMBY tropes!", they say.

I point out: "150 attendees is just 0.03% of the municipality, and in fact really only a small multiple of the number of people who will end up living in this new development".

They respond, "Why would you expect anybody who doesn't live directly adjacent to this planned development to attend? It's not going to be built in their back yard, so they won't care."
light bounces off objects and travels through the lens of the eye.
when light exits the lens it is inverted, so things to your right are projected on the left side of the retina, the left retinae then communicate contralaterally to the right optical cortex.

I am reminded of earlier useful idiots complaining about "corporations being more powerful than governments" over them not bending the knee towards their whims. Well this is exactly what governments being more powerful than corporations looks like. Of course useful idiots also never learn.
Also maybe we need to ask if houses get better. Or bigger. And by how much.

In good functioning economy, building a same house with same features and such should get cheaper as efficiency gets better. Materials should be at least cheaper.

Ofc, we want bigger and more efficient housing with more features so that counteracts it, but how much should it counteract?
The temperature has changed repeatedly without any evidence of human involvement over those longer time periods we can observe.

And the levels of CO2 etc. have changed as well, during time periods when it could not possibly have been blamed on humans.

I grew up in Canada, in an area with lots of farms... and I remember the high school trips to different geographical features such as moraines which are the residue of glaciers from long ago.

What caused those mile-thick glaciers to melt, given the low levels of human population and the low levels of human technology?

The regulators aren't obligated to tell you how to stay out of trouble.
> I think for a good functioning economy we do want housing prices to generally go up

In nominal terms it's inevitable. In real terms, this should not be the case.

Housing is a commodity. It's the only commodity which has increased in price in real terms over time. This is because we've turned it into a retirement account.
Especially considering the house structure itself is usually depreciating in real/material value (whether or not the price is still going up) due to aging. At a certain point, just the land needs to cover those real returns.
> I just feel like "self hosting" isn't a real company solution to a kill switch, so I'm not sure how you have a kill switch without interacting with the company in any way, even if you're not John Deere.

You can’t have any (online) interaction with the company. Even OTA updates can’t be trusted if the company wants to act against your interests or the interests of your country.

Individual farmers need 100% control and I would argue that the only way to accomplish that is to require physical access for all updates and no kill switch at all.

Tractors aren’t close to cell phones. No one is naively and unknowingly buying a stolen tractor off of Craigslist. Engraving serial numbers on parts is a viable theft deterrent if everyone in the industry refuses to buy stolen parts.
Yes, it's generally believe that all living women descend from a single common woman see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Most_recent_common_ancestor and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitochondrial_Eve for some discussion on the quantitative analysis.
This sounds like a prelude to a simplistic "the models aren't accurate, so climate change probably isn't really a problem". However the problem with that is that the overwhelming majority of observations and models, many of which are far from simple and use large amounts of data, point to climate change being real, unusually rapid and anthropogenic. Using the argument that these models aren't accurate ignores the fact that even with a large margin of error, the lower bounds of climate change still result in significant negative effects for large numbers of people and ecosystems. Models have for a long time shown that the overall global temperature will rise and observations over the years have proved the models reflect reality. Are all models 100% correct with predictions? No, but the trend the models show is proven, even if there is a margin of error which is typically always acknowledged during modelling.

Questioning the accuracy as a form of dismissal raise the question of what level of accuracy you'd want before accepting the results, and what level of accuracy any countering research should have. Research like this paper also has margins of error, are often single studies or analysis and therefore aren't proven to be accurate themselves. Science evolves all the time, a large amount of the science we experience or rely on day to day cannot be fully modelled with high accuracy but we don't discount reality because the models don't match it.

Show HN: Train an LLM with Metaflow, Featuring Dolly
Yes. There is a whole playbook of these arguments. Watch carefully and you'll pick up other ones. For instance: developers will announce new apartment buildings with some number of floors in them, and residents will organize around demands that 1-2 floors be removed from the proposal, knowing that most of these projects won't be viable (won't recoup within the required fixed time period for investors) with a whole floor of units removed.
I was pretty sure it was, it was using ext4 as the default then I imagine? Anyways, the change then was that ZFS is not an option anymore instead of stopping being the default.
But in many countries, it isn't a knight.
I have a crazy theory that CEO salaries must be high because evolutionary forces favors companies with high CEO salaries. Rich people prefer to hang out with other rich people, so if you don't pay your CEO enough, they won't get invited to hang out with potential big investors. In a sense, you could say that CEOs are professional rich actors, given a stipend by the corporation to go play rich and infiltrate the rich world, and bring back loot.
I wonder if global cloud coverage is being tracked and how it is trending. We can then see if methane is having a noticeable effect on cloud coverage over the years. I also imagine, there are other processes that effect cloud coverage.

This is about abstractions for the compiler to optimize that iterator given to the user. Seriously, you could have just read the linked abstract.
It's not the whole story, sure, things are complex... but I think you calling it "made up" is a bit absurd. I'd attribute most of the lack of competition with Intel to a lack of capital; which, thanks to the success of TSMC's largest customers (who directly compete with Intel) Apple and AMD is no longer a problem.

Intel did have a huge advantage on everyone else 20 years ago, but ten years ago they more or less started sitting on their asses, and the rest of the world caught up and is passing them by. I don't know why something simple like running 24/7 R&D would not explain it.

It's amazing how far we're come in 15 years. Rewind to 2008 when Chrome was launched:

- Netbooks were hopelessly underpowered for the only game in town, Windows. Now it's possible to run a whole classroom on hardware that's even less expensive (even before adjusting for inflation).

- Microsoft's Internet Explorer team had been disbanded for years, and Apple had abandoned its pursuit of the web for iPhone apps, launching the App Store instead. Today, the open web includes enough platform functionality to implement full-fledged word-processing, drawing, painting, and finance applications.

- Unpatched desktop machines were the norm, and antivirus subscriptions were the band-aid response among the relatively conscientious. Now an eight-year automatic update policy (plus more via Chrome OS Flex) is viewed as a liability.

- Laptop repairs were an expensive ordeal. Actually, that hasn't changed much. But it's interesting how this article portrays a $90 Chromebook repair as a negative because the device was inexpensive to begin with. Some of these devices cost less than the retail price of a Windows 11 license key!
There are sedans that can have three child seats installed on the backseat.

I think all of these injustices are be created to further gaps between classes of people to lay the groundwork for a future paradigm shift towards totalitarianism. Is the same thing we do in other countries to spread the so called democracy under the guise of a dictatorship.

The response to the wells notice is meant to be an argument as to why you're not in breach of the law. Not a request for more information.

If they're not able to argue why they're not breaking the law, then they should hire better lawyers.
Yeah, people are quick to call regulation, but the consumers continue to have the choice. It's not like they're obligated to buy a car that's so tall you can run over a child without noticing.

And then again, other countries have lower limits on the weight of vehicles you can drive with a regular driver's license.

I'm 22. This has been talked about my entire life. Progress on this has been glacial, if there's been any at all. At some point, enough is going wrong with this country that there is going to be a mass of young and angry protestors that's never been seen before. The question of when it will happen hinges on when enough people can find enough interest and social cohesion to organize. For young people, this is not a political issue. It is an issue of inadequate and out of reach housing.
the other way to see this is that the "new companies" are doing loss leading, do not actually make a profit on their retail businesses, are trying to gain an illegal monopoly by putting competitors out of business by doing illegal business practices and dumping not just products and services but dumping entire industries on the market for below cost.
I do think the article definitely has a point of view. LeCun's beliefs about human society and nature aren't really that unusual and so the tone of the article is arguably a little hyperbolic. But I think its a pretty far cry from a pure character assassination.
Wait what happens when it collapses a bit. Less improvements will be done on existing properties, even less will be built. Sustainability requirements and quality of new housing goes up, as usual. Prices will rise again to reflect this.

edit: Seems to be a controversial opinion given the votes. But what‘s controversial about a pork cycle? Housing markets create a pork cycle.
No amount of testing will prevent all errors, and certain bugs can cost human lives.
It doesn't have to fill a niche for you. Before cross-platform PowerShell I certainly used Python for some of those kinds of scripts.

I think a lot of it gets down to ergonomics/aesthetics to decide if you find a useful niche for PowerShell for yourself. Python's os module is powerful and lets you run/chain almost any native commands and shell operations you want to spawn, but it is still a very different API and abstraction with different ergonomics and aesthetics than shell-style pipes and redirects.

PowerShell gives you that focus on shell-like pipes/redirects, but then gives you some Python-like power on top of that to also work with the outputs of some commands as objects in a scripting environment. There's a lot of interesting value to comparing/contrasting PowerShell and Python and if you are happy with Python maybe there isn't a big reason to learn PowerShell. PowerShell is there for when you are doing a lot of shell-like processing pipelines and want to write them as such, but have some of that power of a language like Python behind it. It's a lot more powerful than posix sh and it is similarly but differently powerful to Python but it starts from a REPL that looks/acts more like posix sh. I don't know if you have a need for that niche yourself, but I find it useful for that.
There are many examples of great men in modern media, but I have certainly noticed there are fewer positive, powerful male characters in newer media, and more comically evil/stupid/openly misogynistic caricatures.

A guy I know from one of the car forums was talking about how he'd dug a new pond on his farm, in a particularly mosquito-infested part of California.

"You're mad", everyone said, "you're just making a perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes, with that big pool and the trees providing shade!" And indeed, the mosquitoes flocked there and bred like crazy. Mosquitoes all over.

Before long, his beautiful new pond was absolutely hoaching with mosquito larvae, which the carp he'd stocked it with ate like they'd heard it was getting banned.

Now there aren't any mosquitoes for about a three mile radius.

I am not sure what this kind of articles are supposed to prove, the issue anyway is not my house, it's the housing system, did they just discovered that the human being is greedy and tries to maximise his wealth? That's why we regulate, but do I have the power to cheat the housing market? Can I leave dozens of houses empty to shrink the supply and increase the value? Can I buy politicians to implement rules that improve my power?

Houses are not expensive because of NIMBYs, I've seen government throw protesters in a trash bin with no issues when it was convenient for the wealthy, my first protest was the G8 in Genova, Italy, and they had to issue to kill and beat kids, but then when it comes to housing the protesters all of a sudden become a blocker
