Oh, and particular antibiotics will cure a certain subset of all bacteria. So if you get pneumonia, you'll be prescribed a different antibiotic to what you'd be given if you had h. pylori. (Actually h. pylori is hard to kill, so I believe you're given 3 or 4 different antibiotics to take over several weeks)

As someone who likes C++, here are the main pain points I have using modern C++, those pain points are common to FORTAN or C:

- compilation is a pain to setup and support along the project compared to Rust or Go, the lack of package manager is quite sensible and the experience is not warm and comforting.

- Modern and (consensually enough) tooling in my opinion. (On this matter, C++ beeing widely used in the industry, you have a no-willing-to-count number of softwares to test your C++ application. The list is way to long of closed or open source framework. Got a new job ? Congratulation you probably earned new framework to get in hand with).

- The compilation time.

This last one is not something you do not find in C and FORTRAN project:

- In the industry (does not apply to open source project), most of the C++ developpers knows the C++ of their graduation year and nothing else. You can find a lot of documentation/manuals telling you how to produce C++ before 2011 (big bang time for C++) and even now, you have poor documentation on how to produce modern C++ with C++20 features. The modern doc/manuals is a small amount of the accessible knowledge you can find on the internet about C++. Therefore, a poor amount of people are able to write modern and clean C++. The ability for educate juniors to modern C++ is quite low.

Now that you are here, something to the credit of C++:

- Very few languages hold the comparison with C++ regarding performance. Fewer have those performances with an object oriented structure of the code (to not say none in the embedded industry). There is a good reason to have most of the Gaming motors written in C++.
Truly. I was amazed to see a recent video of a train blowing through a truck carrying a concrete span like it was nothing. A collision between a high-speed hummer and a light rail car (67,000 lbs?) would be something.

Most black Democrats are not voting for the black Republican candidate. Most female Republicans are not voting for the female Democrat candidate. The Catholic Joe Biden lost most of the Catholic vote to Trump. And every time a person like Theodore Roosevelt, Ross Perot, or Donald Trump throws their hat in the ring you get a lot of two-party disaffected people voting for them.

Lol, I've seen how reliably Windows "works"; I'll stick with Linux, thanks. At least FOSS OS always let me find a fix or work around. Granted, I mostly see it these days when relatives ask for help so the sample is biased, but that seems fair considering the conversation here.
As the sqlite schema below indicates, each command has a unique id and a timestamp. Whether you want duplicates removed depends on what you want to know. It might be nice for the UI to expose a time context, which would retain duplicates. (Maybe it does! By coincidence, I just installed this yesterday, and I hardly know anything.)

CREATE TABLE history (
id text primary key,
timestamp integer not null,
duration integer not null,
exit integer not null,
command text not null,
cwd text not null,
session text not null,
hostname text not null, deleted_at integer,

unique(timestamp, cwd, command)
);
CREATE INDEX idx_history_timestamp on history(timestamp);
CREATE INDEX idx_history_command on history(command);

timestamp
);
I think it’s more complicated than it seems. For example,

- electricity payments are highly regulated. I’ve seen places where the electric company wants to raise rates to cover investments in infra only to see the gov not allow it.

- there are laws that impact how they can upgrade the infrastructure and limit the abilities of the electric companies

These are legislative issues that need to be dealt with by non-experts. Articles like this can help with those processes

Shouldn't it be the other way around? As I understand, the goal is to get vehicle owners to charge during the day, since (domestic) consumption at night is already high, and since solar only helps then.
Are people aware that there’s an entire industry with 100s of billions in capital already working on these problems? Every time I read one of these articles and the comments on them, it reads like a reason why we can’t or shouldn’t decarbonize, rather than a call to do the engineering work to fix the problem. Which plenty of people are doing already! This is Hacker News, right?

The Tesla's do have more than two cameras despite us having only two eyes. I don't think that analogy totally holds. It's more that because roads (and road signs) are designed for human vision and human drivers in order to handle all cases you really need to solve vision and if you do that sufficiently then the other sensors are redundant anyway.

High resolution mapping works for localized solutions, but not in the general case.

I'm glad both groups are working on different approaches, it'll be better for us in the long run imo.
Electron capture by a nucleus is a thing, but as far as I know, this only happens to any significant extent to unstable nuclei that naturally decay that way. It’s probably possible for a high enough energy electron to hit a stable nucleus and convert a proton to a neutron, but I’ve never heard of it (although I’m not an expert). So I don’t think anyone needs to worry about this.
Yeah exactly, it's not like the world was ready with gas stations for 300M gas cars when that happened, either.

I've had access to the 32k model for a bit and I've been using this to collect and stuff codebases into the context: https://github.com/mpoon/gpt-repository-loader

It works really well, you can tell it to implement new features or mutate parts of the code and it having the entire (or a lot of) the code in its context really improves the output.

The biggest caveat: shit is expensive! A full 32k token request will run you like $2, if you do dialog back and forth you can rack up quite the bill quickly.
If it was 10x cheaper, I would use nothing else, having a large context window is that much of a game changer. As it stands, I _very_ carefully construct the prompt and move the conversation out of the 32k into the 8k model as fast as I can to save cost.

I believe with good brakes and good skills, an electric skateboard is probably safer than riding a bike if you keep lower speeds and learn how to roll instead of just flopping/falling on the ground but a passive skateboard with no brakes is clearly more accident prone.
Socon: Create a generic framework structure for all your different projects
I'm a test and validation engineer and I'm working a lot with different projects that requires to share common scripts/components.

I have been working alone for quite some time now and I would really appreciate feedback and help. The framework can save a lot of time for people working in devops or continous integration. I also believe developers could be interested in the framework.

The idea behind the framework is to help people and/or organizations to develop their own fast and reliable framework for their different projects. We often spend too much time creating scripts for a single project. Or spend too much time trying to create generic scripts for several projects. Usually, this ends up in hundreds of scripts and is very time-consuming.

Socon works with commands. Socon will let you define common commands that can be shared across projects. Each project can either write their own commands, or override a common command to change its behavior by adding or removing functionalities.

The framework creates a generic Django like project structure. It's a structure that contains all the element for you to get started with your framework and all your different projects.

Socon will also let you develop your own managers and hooks to empower your framework. You are also free to develop your own plugins to share across your company, with friends or with the world.

To start with the framework, you can check the tutorials here: https://socon.readthedocs.io/en/latest/intro/tutorials/index...

Do not hesitate to put a if you like the project or if you intend to use it :)

Probably you’d have a hard time getting an IRB to commit to the data collection given the kinds of real or imagined harm. We used to do this in public school. The last vestige was the scoliosis/kyphosis testing we underwent yearly in gym classes.
As others have explained, there is the unprecedented loss of diversity of species and change in climate. I’d add that there’s also no evidence this will slow or stop (at least that I’m aware of), but there is mounting evidence that it will continue and even accelerate (which we are possibly even witnessing today).
Great unanswered question. Nothing mentions "eSIM".
I really have no idea.

Speculative questions:

Maybe there are some number switching, chip level protocol mitigations inherent to the standard?

Maybe carriers can push locks or there is remote attestation that could inhibit more than 4 registrations?

Will read up. I've never read the eSIM standards.
So get it ready. It’s the richest country in the world with profits so large it’s spiking inflation. There are billionaires out the ass. Maybe we can find the money there.

> What if AGI just turns out to be exactly like the current human mind is now

This is quite literally the point at which things start to get scary, and the outcome is highly dependent on who controls the technology.

There's the concept of a "collective superintelligence", where a large number of mediocre general intelligences working towards the same common goal jointly achieve vastly superhuman capability. We don't have to look to sci-fi to imagine what collective superintelligences are. Large corporations and governments today are already an example of this.

The achievement of artificial collective superintelligences will occur almost immediately after the development of AGI, as it's mostly a "copy and run" problem.
I keep trying to figure out ways to explain to people that "AGI" is a deeply unlikely danger, literally so small as its not worth worrying about.

Right now, the best I can come up with is "the randomness of humans." I.e. if some AGI were able to "come up with some plan to take over," at some point in the process it has to use human labor to do it -- and it's my very firm belief that we are so random as to be unmodelable. I'm incredibly confident that this scenario never happens.
The man is clearly smart, but it's posts that this that show he had no business in a leadership role at Facebook. When he left, he cited low GPU utilization as an "offensive" metric. These skills were great for writing early 3D game engines, but not for developing consumer VR.
A minor clarification, it compares MDs to ACs. It says ACs are associate clinicians who have an amount training somewhere between a nurse and a doctor.

At least the way it's used in the US (I know hacker news is not only the US) a medical assistant is someone who has less training than a nurse and is often doing administrative work.

I know there are things in the past that I thought were rally bad but I don't feel that way anymore. How do I know that the 'bad' I'm feelings now wont turn out to be the same?

This is great. Have some kind of "definition of success" with laws that will be used in the future to gauge their effectiveness. If the law isn't having the desired outcome, it gets repealed.

Truthfully, outcome based legislature would be quite a bit more readable too, as the outcome bit will spell out exactly the intention of the law.
Maybe cool it on the conspiracy theories.
The README in that repo tells the story of building that particular app. I recently got access to gpt-4, and the tooling I've built has become much more reliable. I will likely polish it up and put it onto GitHub sometime soon.
What I don't quite understand is the resistance. It's a fact that some people (and I mean readers, not the editors) don't like, understand, and/or accept the new meaning of this word, whether we like it or not. Whereas everyone should be agreeing that the alternatives are fine. So if you have an alternative everyone is fine with... it seems like a no-brainer to use it? When you have something that everyone is happy with, why insist on an alternative that some people hate?

This article could benefit from an explicit definition of "democracy" from the author's perspective.

It's one of those concepts that people don't really agree on the meaning of, even though it's bandied about a lot (rather like 'freedom').

Are we talking about strictly representative democracy, i.e. the selection of individuals by the voting public to act on their behalf within executive, legislative and judicial branches of government? And if so, how is that pool of candidates itself selected, and by what interests?

Or are we talking about direct democracy, perhaps a mixed system in which proposed laws are written by the elected representatives but then voted on by the general public, e.g. state and national referendums?

Or are we talking about oligarchy masquerading as democracy, with puppets put up in show elections and with their actions controlled by the hidden hands of billionaires?

> The quiz thing is mostly exhaustion at the idea of people who don't bother to learn anything having a say.

I hear you, I feel that frustration as well. Myself, I've come the long way around to deciding that, those people need to be included anyway. And a robust system of democracy should work even with their input. Maybe at the lowest level, all voters get a "I'm happy"/"I'm unhappy" button, and signals of greater interest unlock more options and details. But I think gatekeeping is fundamentally undemocratic, and if you are going to make it harder to vote you need a better reason than "they don't seem to care".

We want more hands on the wheel, not fewer. If they don't seem to know or care, that's our problem, not theirs.
