That was not the case. The universe is probably infinite, thus it always has been infinite. Distances decrease as t goes to zero, but at t=0 we have a singularity. Known physics break down before that.

Besides, keeping particles entangled is actually quite difficult. Entanglement is lost as soon as they interact with their environment, in particular when being observed. This is called decoherence.

Yes. It has been done. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell%27s_theorem#Experiments
Just 6 years ago you still were writing type hints in comments as suse annotations which was not PHP standard.

So PHP was and might still be a shitty language.

And PHP was my first language I'm fine with scripting with it but it was ugly as hell to write big code

> will I deprive myself of B12?

90% of all B12 supplementation occurs in livestock, join the party!

B12 is a product of bacteria living on the surface of roots in soil. Once you add herbicides, pesticides and general monoculture practices (barren soil baking in the sun, heavy tilling, artificial fertilizers), the conditions for producing B12 fall off a cliff.

The vast majority of our B12 is added via fortification. Heck, a can of Red Bull is >200% of your daily requirement, but unlike the dairy industry they aren't trying to make it sound as if they're the only source of B12 in the world.

In general, intra-alliance relations within NATO are getting more attention recently from the US, not just than during the low point of the Trump Administration, but really than probably any point since the fall of the Soviet Union (or maybe just after, with the Balkan crises). That’s not just from the US side; many non-US NATO members (Spain included) are suddenly making much bigger strides toward meeting defense expenditure targets than they had been previously.

Ukraine – and the wave of interference in domestic affairs of NATO members Russia has engaged in particularly since the beginning of the 2014 conflict with Ukraine – are a big factor here.

I expected something more than a person's unsourced opinions if the link is on the front page of HN. I know it's PG, but he isn't an authority on any of this. Feels like it's here because it's cool to hate on LLMs. I usually flag such stuff and move on, but I want to make my own doom proclamation. The cynicism for anything which will change the status quo is going to be our down fall as an industry and society. I understand raising concerns, but my god man at least pretend to balance it with some excitement. I've truly lived long enough to see the heralds of new technologies turn into doomsayers.
I mean, I do agree, but isn't this what journalism is? Reporting on the facts? It's a thing that's happening, ergo it's news.

If there's a shooting and shootings have happened before, is that not still news? It happened after all. It's got to be better than just ignoring things because it's status quo.
Curse of knowledge applies here unfortunately, in that it was so long ago I can’t be a reliable source on how to learn now. I recall being recommended “never split the difference” at some point and reading it and finding it useful (again, so long ago I can’t remember what’s actually in the book now).

I’d also try to hunt down a peer or someone just slightly more senior than you who you suspect is better at this than you and ask them for advice. Consider treating it a little bit like a behavioural job interview though. Questions like “so for your last promotion cycle, when did you start the conversation with your boss? What did you present to them? What format/medium? How often? What was the result? What did you expect? Did you have a Plan B? How often are you exploring other options just in case?” not so much “what would you do in this situation?”. If they’re successful you’ve more to learn from what is actually working from them rather than their hypothetical ideal.

This also plays out over time and assuming future LLMs will be trained ever more on the generative output of todays LLMs we could end up communicating using a Language itself that will become frozen in time as it cycles through the same feedback loop. As John Culkin said: “We shape our tools, and thereafter they shape us.”

It is a myth that fiduciary duty means maximising profit above all else. Let's see what that wiki page says:

> A fiduciary is someone who has undertaken to act for and on behalf of another in a particular matter in circumstances which give rise to a relationship of trust and confidence.

Under Delaware law, fiduciary duty splits into 3 parts: the duty of care, the duty of loyalty and the duty of good faith. Fiduciary duty to shareholders means being a faithful representative of their interests, not putting your own personal interests first, exercising care and good judgement. It absolutely does not mean maximising profits above ethics.
> you should have a basis for declaring it

This is not a court where we need to prove anything, it's just a discussion about a blog post. It's perfectly fine to say something sounds like a fraud based on limited knowledge.

We shouldn't trust companies by default, just because they promise things that we want.

If a company makes an investment offer that sounds a bit questionable, it's fine to say it sounds like fraud, even if we don't have any concrete evidence for it. It's on the company to provide information that makes them trustworthy. If their marketing materials are contradictive, or elude important info, that's more than enough to call them out for it.

Did you read the Brydge story [1]? They started selling preorders for some product as recently as January, when they already ran out of cash. Judging from the "investor email", it sounds like Purism is doing the same thing, except they aren't selling preorders anymore, but just asking for cash instead.

Superdeterminism is indeed a reasonable contender among the sea of possible interpretations of Quantum Theory. Most other interpretations are probabilistic (dunno whether that's the right term), therefore the assumption that everything is causally connected does not cleanly apply.

Thanks for the link! I read that about a decade ago, and its still a great read. That article makes it seem ridiculous to implement software any other way.

And yet, yesterday I watched a talk about how ridiculous it is to use mmap to implement a database:

https://db.cs.cmu.edu/mmap-cidr2022/

And I ended up side tracked watching some talks from CMU about database page buffers and such.

Its weird how people with different backgrounds (OS / kernel people and database people) come to very similar problems in computing with very different perspectives, and they end up implementing very different systems as a result. And in each case, each community thinks the other way is basically wrong.

My understanding is that Linus Torvalds thinks O_DIRECT is a ridiculous flag that database people probably don't want. And from a database perspective, its crazy how difficult the linux kernel makes it to write high performance filesystem code that never corrupts data if the system crashes. fsync is a misshapen sledgehammer, and disk write barriers or IO completion events are totally missing from linux.
On your user page. It may require some karma? I like it as it tells me whether I'm logged in, and if I had multiple accounts they would be easy to differentiate.
I don't follow your comment unfortunately. At t = 0 it seems the claim is we had a singularity, which I understand pretty much by definition means that all the particles (or whatever there was in the universe) were at a single point. So they all had a causal connection at that time. Right?

Also, how can you "lose" entanglement to an environment that's itself already entangled? The scientists are the environment here; if they're already entangled, surely they can't make their particles unentangled?

>It's long, thus is good.

It's also somewhat structured, which puts it at above average for writing tasks.
Choosing a viewBox of size 64 as you have, is a much better choice than 100, because 64 is a power of 2. Symmetry is hard to achieve by hand with a path, and even harder if the origin is at the top left (0,0) instead of in the center (as you also have), because it's obvious that -3 is symmetrical to 3, and less immediately obvious that 47 is the opposite of 53 for example.

That said, if working entirely by hand, using elementary shapes can be easier to write and understand (I think); here's an attempt with using one rectangle three times for the Y (and another rectangle to mask the edges at the top):

<svg width="18" height="18" viewBox="-32 -32 64 64"
style="background: #f60; border: 1px white solid;">
<rect x="-3" y="-2" width="6" height="24" fill="white" id="rc1"/>
<use href="#rc1" y="-22" transform="rotate(-34) scale(1, 1.2)" id="rc2"/>

How many people since have reached adulthood and entered employment who might not have been aware of what came before though? What about the trends that you and others weren't aware of that happened prior to you reaching adulthood and caring about the news?

Just because something is a continuation of a trend doesn't mean it isn't somehow "news-worthy". The weather is entirely based on continuing trends over x periods—is there still value in knowing the weather? Of course. This is the weather of business. It's a "sunny day" in Startupville even if it's raining in Fortune500land, which is the counterpoint to the doom-peddling in other headlines.

Ah yes, the Ansible approach. I've used it for a decade, and I routinely get lost in its utterly terrible by-example documentation.

They are the golden standard on how not to write documentation.

God, I hate the Ansible docs so much, they are the reason I burned 30% of my Kagi search quota this month.

for anyone reading: its VERY illegal in the US for a company to retaliate for your interest in unionizing. You will probably win a large lawsuit if this happens.

Realistically, I doubt a SWE union is around the corner, but Alphabet does have a union that employees can join - so could your company! It seems most people think that unionizing would go poorly and result in job-loss, but it might not. It's easy for fast food companies or retail companies to close a location to lay-off anyone near a union, but if you're in the HQ as a corporate employee, you have to consider the behavior of professional unions (eg. the film writers union, currently on strike).
I think that's biggest issue in this thread.

>His Tractatus, however, is neither an explanation of suicide nor an appeal to it. Instead, it is a defense of suicide as the only rational response to a life doomed to end in nothingness.

Well, if life is "doomed to end in nothingness" how is suicide a "rational response to it"?

Doomed implies nothingness is bad/undesirable. But suicide is just a way to bring this nothingness immediately. So which way is it, do you crave for nothingness and can't wait for it, or do you dislike the prospect?

Besides, if nothingness is inevitable, just wait for it. No need for suicide, any more than eating before you're hungry is "the only rational response" to the certain eventual hunger you'll get.

>We may group people in five categories according to how they treat the suicide. The first turn aggressive and denounce him as a weakling. The second are silent participants in his misfortune, scrounge off of it, and are pleased when he dies instead of them. (...) The first we should put a bullet in, the second should be lynched

From the "penalties" he gives away, sounds like the first hit a nerve he instictively feels is true, and the cause of his desire is the second - how people treated him, rather than a genuine desire for death as death.

>as though any greater courage could exist than facing down the fear of your own death.

Well, obviously the courage of dealing with everything else painful AND feeling it. As opposed to stop dealing it and entering oblivious in some momentary act.

"Facing down the fear of your own death" is not "the greatest courage" unless you prefer life to it. Else it's just an indulgence to do something you like, no more impressive than bunjee jumping.
I don't agree it's scummy. Scummy is getting someone to build a business on a 1 Billion dollar donation, going for a hostile takeover 10% of the way there, then reneging when that doesn't work.

> no guarantee of correctness, a baseline honesty, and other small bits and pieces

Humans for sure do not guarantee this either.

I think of LLMs as an amazing rubber duck. It's heard of everything, and it always responds with something that sounds like it came from the same sphere. You have to use your own mind to figure out if it's meaningful, but this is not so different from conversing with a person. People can babble too.

> There are higher orders of information carried implicitly

You're not always looking for those in a conversation. Sometimes you really are just checking that you've thought things through. Like if someone asks you what the arguments in favor of democracy are, you want a list of points so you can check you haven't forgotten something.
I am always wondering:
If I take the ee directory and garble it through a LLMA, is it protected by copyright?

Does GitHub Copilot take the license change into account for the ee directory, or does it take the tag from the main directory?
Oh neat, I didn't know that. Thank you.
I guess I read "population collapsing" overly dramatically - the reduction of the fertility rate is a good thing, as the population size has overshot what is deemed to be sustainable for at least half a century now, so we'll have to reduce it at least by half anyway, one way or another. (And economic collapse has been pretty much baked in at this point, you can thank the boomers for that : the first generation to be aware of these issues, but chose to be selfish instead.)

And I still don't see how more longevity would help (aside from helping to kick the can further while our situation worsens even more) - women have a fixed number of gametes they acquire before birth - increasing their longevity is not going to postpone menopause !

Furthermore, so far extra longevity and a better quality of life (and especially education of women, as already theorized by Malthus) has been correlated with a reduction in fertility rate - again, something that is typically seen as a good thing !
I also tried to install WSL that day, but that’s just a package with no customization. Seems unlikely.
Nope, 12% in that case. The 27% figure assumes a reduction from the 30% rate virtually nobody pays. If you read Apple’s documentation, you’ll see that they say they will reduce their commission by 3%:

> The brain images after the process of writing showed reduced activity in the amygdala and area of the brain that is activated by fear and emotion. The same images showed increased activity in the prefrontal cortex of the brain, the area that regulates emotions, to keep evenness and mental balance. [1]

The mere act of writing, regardless of the subject, seems to exercise the rational part of the brain and calm us down a bit. (The effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy seems to support this idea, though the existence of Twitter does not...) I think we have to at least entertain the possibility that a post-reading/writing world could be a much less rational place.
