Wow so it looks like I'm in the minority in having shell command history disabled? I have a small number of commands (20) that go into the live history of login shells for convenience, but nothing gets saved when I log out.

If there's something I do repeatedly, I make an alias or a function for it.
While most of this comment is true, there are lots of youtubers that can make it full-time without getting millions of subscribers. The key is that you can't rely on adsense, you need to get as many different ways of getting income as possible (patreon, sponsors, merch, etc).

From my observation, it seems an active base of around 200,000 subscribers seems to be where you can do it full-time. I've even seen people with about 100,000 subscribers go full-time.

The trick is that you can't just be making videos, you have to take on a lot of the business parts too. If you just want to make videos and nothing else, then you would probably need hundreds of thousands of views per video to make a living.
IMO, the regulation that is necessary is largely (1) about government and government-adjacent use, (2) technology-neutral regulation of corporate, government, etc., behavior that is informed by the availability of, but not specific to the use of, AI models.

Democratization of the technology, IMV, just means that more people will be informed enough to participate in the discussion of policy, it doesn’t impair its effectiveness.

If you see progress of graphics design in the last 40 years, do you have any idea what would be considered a "progress of graphics design" in the year 2100 ?

I mean seriously, it looks like in the next maybe 5-15 years, GPU will be able to render graphics that even another GPU wouldn't be able to distinguish whether its real or fake.
> Wikipedia is nothing but a superminority making the website their playground, though[0].

It's more like the minority of the minority does a lot of spellchecking and editing, but it seems, much more plausibly, that a group much larger than a minority does the bulk of writing.

Any discussion of Wikipidia on HN is incomplete without a reference to Aaron Swartz's analysis of how Wikipedia is written:

"[He] concluded that the bulk of its content came from tens of thousands of occasional contributors, or "outsiders," each of whom made few other contributions to the site, while a core group of 500 to 1,000 regular editors tended to correct spelling and other formatting errors.He said: "The formatters aid the contributors, not the other way around."

Sure, but the question was - are they forced to split new microservices just because they have more people? Or is it just how they decided to split up the app in a logical way.

Trains take you from one place where you don't want to be to another place where you don't want to be. They are not a substitute for privately-owned transportation, except perhaps in dystopian fiction.
At my current place of work, we have this strategy and I think it's a mistake. app/lib is just another way of writing app/service. It becomes, over time, a chaotic place where everything goes. If it doesn't fit for _any_ reason, app/lib becomes the place where those files live.

The benefit of lib/ is clearer in my opinion. Files that live there are only explicitly loaded. Some might be loaded in development, some in production, some in test. The conversation about the structure becomes more important because you need to think about what is going to consume your class.

But I think we could take this a step further and instead replace lib/ with engines/. This way, you can create multiple Rails engines that will have their own paradigm and environments' handling.

Every Rails application I got to work on had a lib/ (or app/service) that could have been grouped in a few different engines/. The benefit of using those kind of engines is that conversation about architecture, pros/cons get more defined. At least that's been my experience.
"A.I.-PR industrial complex" is a bizarre term, presumably coined by the author. I'm not sure what they mean by it, but seeing as "crypto" was one of its predecessors (as in the crypto-industrial complex?? The crypto press release industrial complex??), I'm guessing: not much.

> There’s just too much attention that comes with saying the term “A.I.” for anyone to stop now. ChatGPT isn’t the only part of the A.I. boom that sometimes just makes stuff up.

This is absolutely the case.

P.S. what is a "threadbois"?
I had a feeling you had something interesting to say, but I couldn’t make heads or tails of it.

I am being serious. I just applied GPT4 to ELI5 your comment to me. I feel like I have crossed some threshold and I’m not sure if I am proud of it, but there it is.

I am still not entirely sure what your main point is, but I learned about the Fodorian and Lucasian arguments which I don’t find particularly impressive, but then again, I need a language model to explain things to me. Interesting nonetheless.

I did not know about “g” either. How did I survive for so long you may ask and it is indeed a miracle. Anyway, a nuanced understanding of intelligence seems reasonable and useful.

The concept “nostrum” was also new to me as was the word “simpliciter”. In fact I asked GPT4 for a table of uncommon words and concepts in your post and it was quite substantial.

All in all I rarely come across a post that makes me feel like an ape and sets me on a path of creativity and knowledge. Thank you for that.

Edit: obligatory response in the proper style:

“The manner in which this prose is articulated can be characterized as both prolix and imbued with a certain aesthetic appeal. One is left to ponder the origins of the author's stylistic inclinations. As for my own stance concerning the matter of artificial intelligence, it may be succinctly encapsulated as follows: "AI demonstrates utility, and as such, it possesses merit." This, regrettably, constitutes the extent of my intellectual engagement with the subject.”
They are still used in some places. But they have some downsides:

Precompiled headers don't play nicely with distributed compilation or shared build caches (which are perhaps the fastest way to build large C++ codebases). So while they can work well for local builds, they exclude the use of (IMO) better build-time optimisations.

They also require maintenance over time- if you precompile a bad set of headers it can make your compile times worse.
This is like wondering why there are a lot of floods and a lot of forest fires but not really both at the same time.

The reality is more likely that because they had almost zero traction, they saw all the AI hype and decided to rework the whole product to call ChatGPT APIs to try to capitalize on the wave.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it worked in getting more money from investors because they can call themselves an AI company now!

The arts are probably one area in general where it's mostly impractical to show up at college, decide this thing is really cool, and decide to make a career out of it--over and above the lottery nature of the field generally.

Arguably there are some aspects of this in software as well--deliberately avoiding the CS term--but it's almost certainly going to be really hard for someone with no music background to show up at university and decide this is something they're really interested in.

If you just want to dive right in, this example from Concrete ML's repository is very clear:

Hi-Fi had nothing to do with RCA outputs. You may be thinking of S-video, which was separate luma and chroma signals available from Super Beta and Super VHS decks (and, years earlier, from Atari and Commodore computers). On a side note, LaserDisc did not offer it because those components were mixed on the disc and there was no point in providing discrete outputs for each.

And no, they did not break the tape formats. Beta Hi-Fi came out in the early '80s and VHS Hi-Fi followed a couple years later. From Wikipedia:

"Around 1984, JVC added Hi-Fi audio to VHS (model HR-D725U, in response to Betamax's introduction of Beta Hi-Fi.) Both VHS Hi-Fi and Betamax Hi-Fi delivered flat full-range frequency response (20 Hz to 20 kHz), excellent 70 dB signal-to-noise ratio (in consumer space, second only to the compact disc), dynamic range of 90 dB, and professional audio-grade channel separation (more than 70 dB). VHS Hi-Fi audio is achieved by using audio frequency modulation (AFM), modulating the two stereo channels (L, R) on two different frequency-modulated carriers and embedding the combined modulated audio signal pair into the video signal. To avoid crosstalk and interference from the primary video carrier, VHS's implementation of AFM relied on a form of magnetic recording called depth multiplexing. The modulated audio carrier pair was placed in the hitherto-unused frequency range between the luminance and the color carrier (below 1.6 MHz), and recorded first. Subsequently, the video head erases and re-records the video signal (combined luminance and color signal) over the same tape surface, but the video signal's higher center frequency results in a shallower magnetization of the tape, allowing both the video and residual AFM audio signal to coexist on tape."

I sold a decent number of HR-D725s where I worked in high school. You see very few products with its build quality today. I still have the original JVC promo tape that showcased the release of VHS Hi-Fi, featuring a voiceover by Don Adams (Get Smart).

It sounds like you don’t understand that engineering is compromises.

As soon as you involve radiation, you have some severe compromises to make, and the choices of elements you can use are limited.

Sodium is not chosen because of its dangers. Sodium was chosen despite the dangers, because the engineers very very carefully looked at other options and the other options were worse for the needs of their design. https://xkcd.com/793/ and http://johnsalvatier.org/blog/2017/reality-has-a-surprising-... seem relevant.

Something as seemingly safe as water can be as dangerous as molten Sodium. The following is an explanation of the Chernobyl accident, which in part was due to using water as a coolant:

Efforts to increase the power to the level originally planned for the test were frustrated by a combination of xenon poisoning, reduced coolant void and graphite cooldown. Many of the control rods were withdrawn to compensate for these effects, resulting in a violation of the minimum operating reactivity margin (ORM, see Positive void coefficient section in the information page on RBMK Reactors) by 01:00 – although the operators may not have known this. At 01:03, the reactor was stabilised at about 200 MWt and it was decided that the test would be carried out at this power level. Calculations performed after the accident showed that the ORM at 01:22:30 was equal to eight manual control rods. The minimum permissible ORM stipulated in the operating procedures was 15 rods. The test commenced at 01:23:04; the turbine stop valves were closed and the four pumps powered by the slowing turbine started to run down. The slower flowrate, together with the entry to the core of slightly warmer feedwater, may have caused boiling (void formation) at the bottom of the core. This, along with xenon burnout, could have resulted in a runaway increase in power. An alternative view is that the power excursion was triggered by the insertion of the control rods after the scram button was pressed (at 01:23:40). At 01:23:43, the power excursion rate emergency protection system signals came on and power exceeded 530 MWt and continued to rise. Fuel elements ruptured, leading to increased steam generation, which in turn further increased power owing to the large positive void coefficient. Damage to even three or four fuel assemblies would have been enough to lead to the destruction of the reactor. The rupture of several fuel channels increased the pressure in the reactor to the extent that the 1000t reactor support plate became detached, consequently jamming the control rods, which were only halfway down by that time. As the channel pipes began to rupture, mass steam generation occurred as a result of depressurisation of the reactor cooling circuit. Two explosions were reported, the first being the initial steam explosion, followed two or three seconds later by a second explosion, possibly from the build-up of hydrogen due to zirconium-steam reactions.

Agreed, stop making food, cars, drugs, guns, knives, forks, pens, stairs, bathtubs, rugs, and so on. We are actively being murdered everyday by these things and more, lets stop the extremists from gaining access to these things.

Do not justify, that's illegal from now on.
Congratulations on the launch and work so far! This is indeed very interesting. I believe a language like this is necessary for future progress. I have also been impressed with Julia and its progress. I would have liked to see more progress on Ahead of Time compilation and using it to write Python extension modules.

For Mojo, I'm interested in seeing how the language can be used as a path forward for the Cython community. This could be a stepping-stone towards reimplementation of Python in Mojo. For the past 3 year, I have been talking about the need for a Python-Steering-Council-recommended extension language for Python. This will be particularly important as WebAssembly keeps progressing and potentially redefining what we mean by virtualization and containers.

We have already been using LLVM extensively in Numba and there have been several explorations around MLIR and related technologies. There are several potential paths forward and I'm looking forward to finding ways to cooperate.

Understanding what will be open-source is of course, critical for that.

> A frikkin’ guitarist.

> There are two or three patterns you need to learn to be able to handle starting on a different string or different finger.

This is simply wrong.

Just the 3-note-per-string supershape covering the western modes is a cycle of seven ordered shapes for each string. As soon as you start including 2- or 4-note-per-string sub-patterns to move to the required position on the neck, the number of the overall fingerings and movements to memorize and practice explodes. This of course doesn't take the pesky B-string into account.

If you're a piano player, imagine playing on 6 rows of uncoloured keys of similar size, each row except one is shifted by a fourth, and the key width diminishes going up the scale (to an uncomfortable degree). No chords on a single row allowed. Oh, and you need two fingers on opposite hands to make a single sound.
> the draw on a high throughput gas station is hundreds of megawatts for hours.

Did you watch the video? For a 36 charger station they’re using a 6Mw battery.

It works because the assumption that draw from the chargers is constant is wrong.

> What about people who street park?

They can go to the charger station. And all the people who don’t need to because they do it at home…don’t go to the charger station. Reducing demand even further.

> Charging a tesla battery to full overnight

Do you use your entire gas tank everyday? Because 90+% of vehicle users don’t. So there’s no need to pull that much power, again reducing peak demand and spreading out the load.

The things you are highlighting are rooted in fear, not reality. The reality is that ev’s work without the downsides of PHEV. And i say that as a ICE owner jealous of the ease of use, lower maintenance and savings being made by friends with ev’s.

Did you realize you can calculate how many horsepower your house uses on average? And you can calculate how far your house would drive if it were a car?

Last August I used about 1500 kWh of electrical energy

Horsepower = kWh/(720 or 744 [hours in 30 or 31 day month])= kW * 1.34 (hp/kW) = hp

Distance = kWh * 4mi/kWh (Tesla Model 3)

So last August my house used about 2.7 horsepower on average and "drove" 6,000 miles

> How can you scan your firmware on linux, without running an unknown payload, to know if you're affected?

According to the Twitter thread above, you would upload the original OEM firmware for your device to Binarly's web portal at https://fwhunt.run. The firmware file matching your device could be obtained from the OEM's website, rather than the running system. I haven't tried this myself, don't know if it requires unpacking or pre-processing the OEM firmware file format.
You’re sort of reinforcing the point. Only laws prevent companies from running printing presses to print money.
It's just not. I realize that a large chunk of former Twitter addicts and propagandists have MDS, but Bluesky is dead in the water. People are just gonna have to deal with Twitter's increased freedom of speech if they want to be heard on social media.
To point 1, many classes I’ve been in (undergrad and grad) have study groups form at the beginning of the semester where I decide I’m just gonna go though the class solo. In that case, it’s fully conceivable for a subset (or almost all of the student in smaller class) to work together and study in a productive way or conspire together in an unproductive way.
It would be trivially easy to get it to do this, just not in one prompt.

Ask it for help in making your app instead of asking it for the whole thing.
But that's pretty much the opposite of reality. The "commoners" are increasingly priced out from being able to "wallow in cities". The idea that city living is some kind of negative punishment is really distorting your perspective.

There is broad consensus amongs experts.

With recent improvements in renewables, renewable positive people have said "we now think 100% wind, solar, battery is feasible" after a few years of saying 80% renewables is doable and the last 20% is tricky and people less enthusiastic about renewables are saying "we're still thinking that having 10-20% nuclear might work out slightly cheaper".

Even countries like France and Japan which are very nuclear positive, are not talking about 100% nuclear and have aggressive renewable rollouts planned:

https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/frances-renewables-g...

The extreme anti-renewable, pro-nuclear opinions you find on HN are bizarre and nonsensical. They're basically remnants of climate change denial.

edit: for example this is a summary from 2017 where they're nervously optimistic about getting to 100% but are fairly confident about getting to 60%

https://www.vox.com/energy-and-environment/2017/4/7/15159034...

> Again, it’s all about balancing out VRE. The easiest way to do that is with fast, flexible natural gas plants, but you can’t get past around 60 percent decarbonization with a large fleet of gas plants running. Getting to 80 percent or beyond means closing or idling lots of those plants. So you need other balancing options.
I don't see why they both can't exist. Mobile VR already works great, and the power of mobile chipsets is only increasing. Tethered VR will only dominate for as long as mobile GPUs struggle to output stereo 2048x2048~ish video, which... isn't going to be for long. Combined with SOTA upscaling, we may already be there by some standards.

I say all this as someone with a Quest who tethers to a PC for Beat Saber and Half Life Alyx. Tethered experiences rule - but untethered ones are really not that far off.
Yeah but the fee is calculated as a percentage of a full time (2080 hour) year. So it's only worthwhile if you're being hired fulltime, near full time, or at a much higher rate than your existing upwork rate.
