Again: this has never happened before.

We share a physical space with lesser animals. A hypothetical AGI isn't sharing a physical space with us. Ergo, history is completely irrelevant. It's so wildly different. We may as well exist in a completely different dimension, in the same way that a hypothetical omniscient god would exist in a different plain of existence than us meatbags, thus a hypothetical AGI could likely never comprehend "the world", even with the sum of all human knowledge, in the same way we can't comprehend "god".

This is all assuming that a hypothetical AGI would be sufficiently intelligent enough to gain control of our systems in a meaningful capacity, not be able to be stopped prior to it etc. I mean, worst case scenario, shut down the internet infrastructure or reduce throughput significantly, right? It has to operate somewhere, even if that's across every online device.

Again, we would have never seen anything like what a hypothetical AGI could hypothetically do in terms of attacking human beings, thus history is irrelevant. The greater threat, IMO, is human beings. Human beings have control of that infrastructure today. Human beings are flawed, we're still blowing each other to bits and threatening each other with annihilation if provoked. Human beings exist in physical space, holy shit, and there's billions of them.

Also keep in mind that hypothetically launching nukes in these doomsday scenarios being discussed on podcasts completely disregard existing PAL systems. It also disregards the likes of the Block Nuclear Launch by Autonomous AI Act.

The whole concept is a lot of "whataboutery". It smacks of the general public's lack of knowledge, hysteria, and repeating unfounded claims of any hypothetical AGI and any threat it may or may not pose.

Not since Musk bought it, most of them are fleeing the platform.
I don’t think people generally say secure, they say safe. Safe is necessary but insufficient for secure. The existing implementations assume safety by diligence. Rust promises safety by construction. That’s useful. But, to your point, insufficient. People that say secure when they mean safe are just wrong.
Just login as root. Not that I'd recommend it.
This is a really valid point and probably the actual intention of the feature.
By 'computers' I think you mean an 'Internet Connected' one? Because the Internet is designed to be adverse by its very nature IMHO. This is where heavy curation is needed and you should only pay attention to what interests you, not be lead down a spiral path by some recommendation algo or news aggregation site (looking at you HN). Yes, I know, this is a form of cognitive bias, but there's nothing inherently wrong with that. That can go wrong if you become tunnel vision on a subject to the detriment of other subjects though. It's about balance.

No lets keep this :)
I'd stick to Caddy. I deprecated my old traefik reverse proxy and tls config which took me days to get right earlier mostly due to my lack of understanding, but the config and DSL is a little tricky too. With Caddy its literally 4 lines of code. Sane defaults are really powerful. I don't have any comments on performance etc as these are hobby projects, I did like traefik's dashboard though.
Prepay is generally a better deal in UK and Ireland and often includes unlimited internet for about €20. Here is an example from Vodafone (not the cheapest by any means): https://n.vodafone.ie/shop/pay-as-you-go-plans.html €25 per month gets you unlimited data in Ireland and up to 30Gb in other EU countries including Germany.

I have always thought it a bit odd that users with a monthly contract often pay more than "pay as you go pre-pay" but I think that is because it is mainly business and older people who opt for a monthly contract.

So it’s trying to both tackle provisioning and deployment at the same time? Why not just use more powerful tools for each role - e.g., provision with Ansible and deploy with Dokku?
I'm not really concerned about that. You're right that propagandists will always find a way to exploit whatever you say or don't say, no matter how you say it. It's a fool's errand to try to manipulate the discourse through self-censorship, which is why I don't advocate for it. I'd have been perfectly satisfied if the temperature statistic was quoted in the very next sentence after the one I suggested. I did say "lead with", but it's kind of buried.

My only point was that science advocates need to modernize their persuasive argument repertoire.

Incidentally I feel Rust is the reverse Ruby: more work (sometimes much more work) up front, but the big payoff comes in the long run.
I don't really think this is a security issue. If an attacker is able to try executing sudo on your system, you have much bigger problems (for example, data exfil can be done by non-sudo users in many cases, or if your system is sufficiently old there's known priviledge escalation exploits). I don't think an attacker gains much knowledge from knowing whether or not they're on the naughty list.
There are all sorts of games brands/retailers play with these. It also wouldn’t surprise me at all if Walmart avoided language that went as far as collusion, but did make clear they needed a certain margin and were willing to pay a higher price.

But they did assess "the quality of information provided". I don't understand what that means if not accuracy.
No, it's obvious to everyone working with GPUs who knows what "serverless" means.

It's a very standard construction in English. "Serverless GPU" means "GPU" that is "serverless". If you know what both words mean in the jargon, you know what they mean together. It's ok to not know what they mean, but arguing that it's "tortured" rings to me as misguided obtuseness.
> Rust does avoid global variables. You will very very rarely see a global mutex in a Rust library, and only occasionally see it in an application. (The most recent time I saw a Rust mutex was to implement string interning in wasm, a platform without atomics. So it's basically free).

Sure, global mutexes are pretty uncommon. (Although I can spy some in a few of the largest crates, such as log, crossbeam-utils, thread_local, rayon-core, and openssl.) But it's far from uncommon to use global atomic variables. Atomic counters are often used for unique ID generators, e.g., in autocfg, url, tokio, futures-util, uuid, same-file, and gimli. Atomics are also used as mutexes for external data, e.g., in parking_lot and backtrace, as well as direct storage of mutable flags and other data, e.g., in proc-macro2, time, parking_lot_core, tracing-core, and crossbeam-epoch.

I just don't want people getting the impression that Rust is among the "systems [that] ban [global variables]". I don't deny that it discourages global mutable state for most situations, but its overall approach is far more pragmatic than a simple ban.

Looking for a talented lone wolf programmer to help me bring my revolutionary engineering software to market

I am a mechanical engineer with over 50 years of experience in the industry. In 2000, I developed a revolutionary engineering software program that won a copyright case for over $6 million. However, the company that I sold the software to went bankrupt and I was never paid. I have since put the software on ice, but I am now ready to bring it back to life.

I am looking for a talented lone wolf programmer who can help me take my software across platforms. I believe that AI has the potential to revolutionize the engineering industry, and I want to be at the forefront of this change. I am offering a percentage of the profits from the software to the right programmer.

You can complete a coding challenge on a piece of the software for you to see how it works and how we can work together. From that, if everything works for both of us we can form a partnership.

Here are some of the benefits of working on this project:

You will be working with a seasoned engineer with over 50 years of experience in the industry.
You will have the opportunity to be a part of a revolutionary project that has the potential to change the engineering industry.
You will be able to work on your own schedule and set your own hours.
You will be offered a percentage of the profits from the software.
You will have the opportunity to use your creativity and ingenuity to solve challenging problems.
You will be able to work on a project that has the potential to make a real difference in the world.
If you are a talented programmer who is looking for a challenging and rewarding project, then I encourage you to contact me at hlbtech6@gmail.com.
Funny story. When I was in grad school, the math department office I was in had Linux computers administrated by the department. One day I was goofing in my shared office with a fellow grad student by playing with what resources were available.

We were trying sudo and failed with enough silly passwords that we got the "this incident will be reported" message. I confidently told my officemate that these messages were never saved and recorded.

A few moments later, from our open office door (which I assume meant all our conversation was able to be overheard), our IT lady from down the hall came in and said to me "Download the internet, really?"

Because yes, I did type, while not saying I was doing so, "sudo DOWNLOAD THE INTERNET" into the terminal while goofing.

Funny story but I did feel a bit embarrassed at the time.
Eugene tried this as well. City council passed it without input from the community and is facing backlash. Since the 9th circuit decision, the ordinance has been called into question.

https://www.bendbulletin.com/business/eugene-s-natural-gas-b...

The community has since generated enough signatures to put the ban to a public vote that will be voted on in November. Anecdotally, I'd say, most my neighbors are against the ban, judging from the names on the petition that I signed when they dropped through.

Personally, I believe folks should have the liberty to choose the best solution for their energy needs. I do a bit of home brewing, and I can say, without question, gas is superior for heating a large quantity of water quickly and keeping it at temp throughout the process. I even looked into electric brew kettles and >10G vessels require a dedicated 240V circuit.

Taking this all into account, I'm not sure I'll be buying / building within city limits. That or I'll just move to using my own methane composting biogas bladder. I'd love to see the greenies tell me I can't make my own gas in my back yard via composting.

I don't know. I've had chatbots for decades before "a few years ago", so I have never been particularly impressed. I would say that for someone who was already impressed with that you could practically describe a landscape in plain old 2000s Google Images and get a result, SD feels like just an incremental improvement over it -- the ability to create very surreal-looking 'melanges', at the cost of it almost always generating non-sensical ones. And also add that Google Images is much easier to use than SD...
Are you familiar with the concept of no-2.0 for Rust? The do this on purpose so the users (the software engineers) never need to convert a version x project to a version y unlike for example Python (2 -> 3). I think this is amazing.
That's not just a HM user, that's Gregory Maxwell who was the main Bitcoin developer after Gavin Andresen left.

Why is it so hard? Plume-surface interaction plays a major role during the landing sequence. Most projects "test,test and more test" like the ones mentioned in the article, but they clearly have no idea how unforgiving the environment is. When the vehicle gets closer to the surface, the engine exhaust gets redirected upwards, accelerating regolith to ~ 1km/s speeds. Any sensitive hardware that is hit can easily be taken out. Additionally, the closer the vehicle gets to the surface the more difficulty landing sensors will have in looking through the induced regolith cloud.[0] NASA has been studying the problem through experimental and computational campaigns for a long time, but just recently has put significant resources into understanding PSI on extreme environments.

I am curious how one pops popcorn, shakes a pan, throws the pan, and heats the sides of the pan when eg reducing stock. How do woks work, exactly, on an induction burner? Why does spilling liquids cause the problems I encountered? Why does the bottom of the pans have to be perfectly flat? Some of my cast iron skillets (whoops never mind) are 50 years or more old and are not perfectly flat. They cook fantastic on a gas range. My All-Clad skillets reduce stock while caramalizing above the liquid level, and... the flavor gain is detectable. My only a few years old set of de Buyers "work" on induction but they're not perfectly flat, either. They are ever so slightly concave up in the center. They work fantastic too on a gas burner, but are a disaster on induction.

While moving house across the country, our Viking gas range preceding us, I installed a moderately high end induction stove (~$1600) and cooked on it for three weeks before I completely gave up. I even bought "induction ready" pots and pans! No doubt it improved the resale value of the kitchen but for people with competent technique, an induction cook top is a culinary disaster.

Far superior? Yeah, I don't think so.

I really wanted to love that induction stove, it's why I paid extra for one to sell the house. But I was duped. Ah well there is theory and there is practice, and I remind myself yet again to always stick to practice.

The important bit of context - that ChatGPT completely missed - is that the address was a single number like e.g. http://3520653040

But China is China and India is India. Climate-wise, they are not the same.

Again: if India were to tick all the boxes, what are the projected figures on mitigating the existing problem versus projected worsening of the problem in the future if they don't?

Are a significant number of them going to be able to afford the power generated? Are a significant number of them going to be able to afford the air conditioning units?

How much does this help the problem of failed crops in terms of reversing climate change?

India has 1.8m homeless people. Socioeconomics are going to play a part in this too, and the poor always cop for these problems the worst.

Whichever way you cut it, this seems to be a huge humanitarian crisis brewing.
One of the most privileged processes on the system and no unit or functional tests need to be updated with this change. Sigh.

I laud the effort and I understand that rust gets a lot of visibility here on HN, but when the motivation is to improve security, than why not use a language which goes through great length of ensuring such, e.g. the SPARK subset of Ada?
Not delusional at all. I appreciate that this acknowledges it doesn't have to be this way. Governments don't have to be dominated by the private market's profit motive.

I think pitch memory is not at all the same neural phenomenon as perfect (absolute) pitch.

I had an ear training teacher who would play a bunch of random atonal notes on the piano between exercises to "reset" our ears. Only works for relative ears.

Similarly I (relative pitch) retain the key of a piece I practice. But if someone plays a random sequence of pitches it pretty easily makes me lose my anchor or at least make it lose focus by a semitone or three.

Whereas the "real" perfect pitch people are always anchored, no matter how much noise anyone throws at them. Which is also a source of discomfort and difficulty, for example when they need to transpose or work with a different A4 than their "internal" learned one. Where us relative normies would just shrug and accept the new A4.
>with encrypting the data with the OTP.

This is just a worse version of HTTPS. It provides no way to share the password with the host securely for your first connection with them.

>Ubiquitous in corporate hell?

Look at the site I linked most people are using HTTPS.

>If you make your own security on top of HTTP it's optional.

Which is a problem since people running sites may not invest in security. By banning HTTP you raise the security of the entire platform.
Diet/sleep/exercise/sunlight are always the first step, and if you don’t at least get those, you’ll be hard-pressed to feel decent no matter what else you do, regardless of whether you have other medication-dependent conditions.

That said, there are way too many people out there who have no experience with conditions which require medication, who seem to think that those things are a substitute for medication rather than a baseline that must be kept up alongside medication.

I’m no psychologist, but I tend to assume that a driver to thinking this way might be the sense of safety that comes with self-righteousness. Similar to victim-blaming in crimes, where people pick at the personal faults of crime victims (however slight) in order to reassure themselves that a similar thing couldn’t happen to them. Imo it’s a coping mechanism for a world where long-term suffering can be brought on totally at random.
