That's what you believe but it's not necessarily correct. You assume asymmetry in favor of attacker, but this patently does not apply to e.g. cryptography; the way it's going, we would get more, not less security out of AIs, by automating testing and audits and formal proofs. And, importantly, defense is a common good; best practices could be easily spread, and applied in an economical way with AI, whereas attackers work on their own.

Many functions are asymmetrical in favor of defense. Viruses, too, are not magic; the more sophisticated and powerful its mechanism of action, the longer its code has to be, the worse it is at spreading and surviving the elements (consider how fragile HIV is). Viruses are already tremendously optimized by selection, due to very quickly replication and constant pressure of immunity and medicine. You'd think COVID is merely a warning, but mechanistically it's probably very close to the strongest attack feasible with our biology. Not the most virulent by a long shot; but very good at overcoming our generic defenses.

Crucially it wasn't created with AI. Without any AI, we know perfectly well how to make super-COVIDs, it's limited by accessibility of hardware for microbiological research, not compute or algorithms.

Rapidly designing antivirals, on the other hand, does benefit from AI.

You display a powerful negativity bias which is pervasive in such conversations. You completely ignore AI as a force for good and consider it as, essentially, an offensive capabilty, from which it follows that it must be handed over to incumbents (I take issue with this logic, of course). But that's a self-fulfilling prophecy. Any advantage, centralized enough, becomes an instrument of oppression.
Less cynically, there were no filtration units or HEPA filters available because demand far outstripped supply. It would be interesting to know how fast production could have been increased (face masks took a while).
My inclination to agree that public transit should mostly be a nationalized utility. But some experience in rural areas leads me to a counterargument that I don't have a good answer for:

Should people that live in urban spaces massively subsidize people that choose to live in rural areas for no economically useful reason? Like, some tech bros decide they don't want neighbors and want to live 20 km from everything. Should the city folk subsidize their preferences? Maybe it should be recouped in local taxes? Should that be covered by agricultural tax breaks?

Mostly I think public transit should be a public service. But I don't think it's a given that rich people's preferences should be subsidized just because they want to live in remote or suburban areas.

Interesting to hear that this is used for organic crops, in lieu of chemical pesticides. I wonder if people who eat organic food would be less likely to do so if they knew that fields were being flame-throwed multiple times a season in order to avoid using pesticides.

It's a complex question, since it involves personal safety, environmental harm, and fossil fuel combustion.
They're essentially actively trying to dissuade talking public transit regionally. Curious choice.
You still should consider collateral damage - we've been throwing broad spectrum antibiotics at damned near everything for decades.

We've started an arms race with a staggeringly dynamic enemy, and our solution thus far has been to attack them with static munitions, until those munitions stop working.

You can mitigate the issue with combination antibiotic therapy (it's harder to evolve resistance on multiple fronts simultaneously), but in general (when we use them) we need to move towards targeted antibiotics.

The difficulty being that you actually need to diagnose the specific problem before treatment, not just that it's bacterial in nature.

This requires pathogen detection and recognition: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4941824/

This adds significant complexity (though I don't think that knowing what you're doing is a bad idea).

We've been using nukes for a long time now, we need to move to scalpels.
Contextually relevant suggested options (that can be acted upon with a single click), alongside the free form input box will emerge as the norm.

Carbon monoxide comes from vehicle exhaust, so the levels are still lower outside cities and off high-traffic roads. I'd rather recirculate my "stored up" clean air vs. pull in CO from the line of cars stopped ahead of me. I just involves being aware of the surroundings.

Ideally a controller would monitor the outside CO/PM and inside CO2 to control the recirculate door.
I like this, too, but I think it's hard to find out what the clearing-cost for the market is top-down. Especially for things "like recycling". Instead, I'd just make it a market problem. The point is to find a good balance between regulation ("recycling costs this much") and natural market conditions ("fuck it! throw it in the ocean!").
I've met more than one hiring manager who tacitly refuses to hire anyone who is transgendered. Of course this is only revealed in confidence, and they'll deny it if asked.

The reason is typically one or more of:

- they don't want the rest of the team to have to walk on eggshells regarding pronouns and so on, or

- they don't want to have to deal with any fallout from female employees getting pissed about males using their bathroom, or

- they've had a bad experience hiring a transgender previously (typically due to the previous two reasons) and don't want to repeat it with another.

Kind of sucks for the transgendered applicants, but understandable I suppose, given the circumstances these days.
"Pushing for" is not a strategy. What I'm seeing in various blue US cities here is public transport falling into disuse in 2020, turning into a homeless encampment (often with the concomitant violence and theft) in 2021, and still not recovering in 2023. Philadelphia's SEPTA is still (2022) at half the 2019 ridership. It doesn't help that some lines got almost cancelled in 2020 (reduced to just a few trains per day), which likely caused a bunch of people to buy cars and not look back.
Higher interest rates in the future are good for Meta, bad for people holding the long duration bonds. And visa versa.

Meta bonds would have a very high rating, and a very low risk of default. Not as good as bonds from Apple or Microsoft, but better than most corporate paper.

I wouldn’t want to hold them for 40 years though. My personal view is meta is the tech giant least likely to remain a going concern.

Do you have any basis for saying this law was racist or had segregationist goals?

It’s not like the neighboring cities (Mt View and Menlo Park) have many black people.

My understanding is that the local resident restrictions were based on some local politics around purchasing the park a long time ago, and then transformed into a Palo Alto NIMBY policy. In 2008 Los Altos Hills tried to buy access to Foothill Park.

Ask HN: My Sleep Quality Declines Throughout the Workweek – What Gives?
I've noticed my sleep quality declines throughout of the workweek. I sleep great on Sunday night but by Friday night, I'm waking at 3am, checking the clock every hour and just generally miserable in bed.

For background, I'm in my late 40s and working as a full-time IC. I've learned all the difficult lessons about exercise, caffeine, alcohol, screens at night, etc. Overall, my sleep hygiene is pretty solid and consistent. The variable that I'm interested in is the workweek and the incrementally worse sleep I get with each passing day.

When laying awake at 3am, I feel a tension behind my eyes. I wouldn't say my mind races but it doesn't feel peaceful. Is this a stress response? Work is not easy but I'm also not in a toxic situation with crazy people. It is just work. Hours in front of a screen, tough problems and, of course, computers.

Has anyone else observed this? Is this just age? Any non-drug hacks?

You can't store value in something whose only purpose is to store value.

Insofar as you can save an asset, it's because you're defecting in a game where other people are actively using it to provide the future value you want to claim later. If everyone only ever saved Bitcoin, then who's going to buy it when you want to sell it later? Someone else who wants to store it forever?

The reason saving currency in a bank works for the economy is because they're loaning out the back to productive businesses and then giving you some of the interest. This doesn't work if you keep it under your bed/in a crypto wallet.

(Maybe you could solve it by paying people more to take risk, but I don't think interest is that attractive to people?)

This is really key: humans think about everything in finite, human lifetimes. We have no backups, archives nothing - when we die knowledge and experience vanishes.

This wouldn't be true for an AI. Death would be optional.

Density, private equity ratio, less zoning, less regulation..

If people want affordable housing, affordable housing needs to be built. It's housing that kinda sucks, accomodations that aren't attractive, streets that aren't safe, neighbours that are noisy, metro stops that are far away, plumbing that breaks, windows that aren't et al.

If it's attractive, it will be expensive. That's how pricing works.
(Former US submariner)

Yes, and no.

Yes- the US has maps with higher-resolution data on water depth around the world than what's commercially available.

No - those maps aren't perfect. Some areas are extraordinarily well-mapped, others are less so.

Submarine crews are trained not to check just the charts that are in use for a particular voyage, but also other charts covering the same area. (The USS San Francisco collision has no evidence of a seamount on the charts in use, but there was "discoloration" on another chart covering the same area.)
The system seems to be working just fine. The justice system interprets law as enacted by the legislature. This is the balance of power. The governor can still issue a pardon to stop the execution because it is the executive's job to enforce the law. The legislature can change the law to avoid this situation in the future. The solution here isn't to give judges absolute power.
For both you and gp - why? What's the advantage?
Don’t forget some of the most powerful applications are already being used by Google and others to tailor ads based on your behavior. The big adtech firms have deployed AI first and foremost as a means to predict and influence human behavior.

If they can show you the right ad at the right time, they sure as fuck can hammer in a “don’t procreate” message. And that’s what we have TODAY.
It's not AI that some of us are critical of. It's the hysteria around AI that we're critical of.

Yes, AI is progressing. Yes, it's good and getting better. But 'AI' is the 'fad of the day' at present, just like all the previous fads-of-the-day were everywhere in the media for a while, and then just faded out of sight. 'Faded out of sight' doesn't mean they went away, they merely took their rightful place in the hierarchy of science and were no longer so much 'in your face'. Hint: When did you last hear about one of history's previous fads, 'Fuzzy Logic'? It's still around, but not everywhere in the media.
Personally, I'm much more concerned about the risks to farm workers than risks to the general population.

> where the judicial system seems truly out of control

I don't think this is true at all. The judicial system is following the laws that the legislature has laid out. Unless the laws are unconstitutional (which no one seems to be arguing) then this is actually a case where the judicial system is 100% not out of control. And, in fact, nothing gives them the power to act here, so they aren't acting. All they've done is refuse to step in to a spot that has no place defined for them.

> it makes a clear case that the problem is the system

Yes, but the system that's the problem isn't the judges. It's the law that's been decided upon and never fixed. The judges can't just decide that they aren't going to enforce the law unless someone is arguing that the law itself is invalid, which no one is doing.

It's an unfortunate situation but it's one with a real remedy. The remedy is not "courts ignore legislature," it's "governor grants clemency or pardon."
That's a good point.

I don't know how others define it, and I'm not sure I could pin down my own feelings about it.

Here's a starting point: don't push something on someone without helping them understand the consequences.

As an example, when I become a parent, I want my child to be baptized a member of the Church. But I sure will not allow that child to be baptized until he/she understands the covenants that come along with baptism, understands what must be done to keep the covenants, and wants to be baptized.

It would be a great hurt if I did not do otherwise. I feel like many parents who are members hurt their children by pushing them into baptism without properly teaching them why and letting the child make their own decision.

Possibly? She was making a lateral move to a new discipline, and that ended up being a junior manager. Depending on how hands on a junior manager is with the position being managed in that company and department, that could mean little management work and lots of non-managerial work, or the exact opposite. To me, lots of managerial work in the new position would imply it was not so in the prior position.

In any case, I was trying to keep it abstract because I wasn't trying to be pro or con about this article, but instead make a point about communication, which is an interest of mine.
> Simultaneously, as the world moves away from monolithic architectures to composable ones

It's been the opposite for me.

Back around 2015-2016 I was very excited about cloud functions, serverless, etc, but these past years I've gone back to mostly running VMs with regular persistent apps.

Complexity has gone down considerably and there's zero lock in. With Docker I have full control over the platform and can run these apps pretty much anywhere I want and how I see fit.

With Fly it's trivial to get scale to zero. I wrote a little tutorial here recently:

https://community.fly.io/t/implementing-scale-to-zero-is-sup...

I still use some serverless stuff for very specific use cases, like enhancing a static site with a bit of backend logic, but definitely not as the main solution to run the bulk of my backend apps.

As mentioned, everybody is supposed to have a license plate - even a temporary one. In reality, it’s rarely to never enforced, cars and/or license plates are frequently stolen (especially Hyundai/Kia), all manner e-ink plates even stickers plates are allowed. Frankly this has really enabled a cottage industry of thieves and criminals.

I’m generally against a surveillance state, but the utter lack of enforcement on this issue enables and possibly encourages a range crimes

Threats like this seem less real to me because the government has been so technologically inept lately. Garbage government websites, failed rollouts of huge programs (like healthcare, the CA highspeed rail), SpaceX taking the reigns away from NASA and the military awarding giant contracts to Amazon and Microsoft to keep their ancient tech infra running.

It feels like the only way they will get a fully autonomous AI driven robot weapon is if someone sells it to them.
Seems like a strawman to me.

I've never heard anybody think setting "location services" to "off" prevented your cell service from detecting your location and presence, which can then of course be shared with law enforcement.

The toggle is for not sharing your location with installed applications.

I think everybody knows that if it's important not to be tracked by law enforcement (e.g. attending an illegal protest), you don't take your phone in the first place. (And certainly everyone on HN already knows.)

So no, the location switch is not a lie.
