It may be true that writing makes people worse at remembering unaided, but better if they can check their diary. I imagine ChatGTP type things may likewise make people lazier at unaided thinking but better at AI aided thinking.

I tried asking ChatGTP what it thought and it came back with

>... it's also important to note that technology is a tool, and its impact largely depends on how it's used. For instance, AI writing tools ... can be used to augment human creativity and productivity, rather than replace it. These tools can help writers brainstorm ideas, overcome writer's block, write more quickly, and even learn to write better by providing examples and suggestions.

>Moreover, the use of AI tools might also stimulate new forms of thinking. Just as calculators didn't eliminate the need for mathematical understanding but rather allowed for more complex problems to be tackled, AI writing tools could help individuals refine and expand their thinking, enabling them to tackle more complex writing tasks or express ideas more effectively.

Which is kind of interesting - I didn't think of writers block on my own for example. Also lazy thinks at the moment probably tend to just go along with what they see in the media. AI aided thinking could improve on that.

The only reason why WHOIS actually needed to stick around for so long is because of thin registries (.com and .net are examples) where the registrar manages the contact information for the domain rather than the registry.

When you do a domain transfer, the registrars involved are required to get confirmation of the transfer, which means that the gaining registrar needs a way to query the contact information for the domain. With thick registries, all the gaining registrar needs to query this is the EPP key (AKA the transfer code, transfer key, authinfo, &c.) and the domain name, and then they have read-only access to the domain object and any contact object associated with the domain in question. With thin registries, there's no such thing, so the only way to implement ICANN's Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy is to query WHOIS. Up until ICANN finally forced a standard format on gTLD WHOIS responses, this was a nightmare as all too many registries would go out of their way to make it difficult to get any information out of WHOIS.

I'm glad to see WHOIS starting to die for domain names and be replaced with RDAP.
The Guardian's take on it was:

> Armstrong was raised in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints but left the religion years ago.

I suppose my question is, why is it relevant to mention at all? Is it because Mormonism is less of a "mainstream" religion, so it deserves more mention than "former Catholic" or "lapsed Protestant"?
PG's premise is not really correct. We worry that AI will become super-powerful, but when you use AI you realize its superpower is the ability to collaborate with people. The combined system of one human plus one AI makes each component more capable and powerful than either acting independently.

So, what PG really should worry about is people losing the skill of independently writing, and instead getting really used to having AI work as a muse, or worse, a ghostwriter. My writing always will be better with an outside collaborator, and if youre so busy or important to rely exclusively on a ghostwriter, oh well. In all circumstances, AI will not be as good without strong human interaction, and likewise humans can take their work to a different level by leveraging AI.

I was not expecting such an amazing and detailed article, that was so fun to read. I admit, I had to stop about a fifth of the way through as I have work to day, but firmly added to my favourites list for later reading.
Strong memory is almost always an indicator of exceptional skill. Whether it's chess players, musicians, writers or poets, mathematicians or also programmers, people who excel generally have astonishing ability to recall.

That's not an accident. Wisdom emerges out of practice and the effortlessness that comes with it. The genius piano player isn't that good because of some pie in the sky wisdom about music, just like the AI they just played tons of scales and training pieces. Literally meaningless stuff. This rejection of rote memorization as some sort of lower skill, that students should be 'smart and lazy' is one of the stupidest modern tendencies.

If you use facades there's no fixing that unless you reconstruct and reweave every component in your application to pass relevant context in and out, instead of lazily reaching into globals for it.

What you call "full DI" in Laravel is still globals in disguise, because there's a single global container.

Most defense of Laravel comes from people who have no idea how to write a good app. And unfortunately, due to bad frameworks, the number of those people is multiplying. I blame Spring and RoR. So much pain came from them. Laravel is just a pale copy.
from the article

The AI Act bans specific applications like manipulative techniques and social scoring, which are considered to pose an unacceptable risk. The list of these prohibited practices was significantly extended upon the insistence of left-to-centre MEPs.

The ban was extended to AI models for biometric categorisation, predictive policing, and scrapping facial images for building databases. Emotion recognition software is forbidden in law enforcement, border management, workplace and education.
> in the same way the US isn’t purely capitalist

The US has killed, jailed, blacklisted, and otherwise denied civil liberties to people for having leftist politics. Whether that's "purely capitalist" or not, it's still not safe to be a leftist in the USA.
I really hope Linux can get a modern FS into common usage (as in default FS for most distros). After more than a decade ZFS and BTRFS didn't go anywhere. Something that's just there as a default, is stable, performs decently (at least on ext4 level) and brings modern features like snapshots. Bcachefs seems to have a decent shot.

What I'd like to see even more though would be a switch from the existing posix based filesystem APIs to a transaction based system. It is way too complicated to do filesystem operations that are not prone to data corruption should there be any issues.
Then don’t take the road.

I don’t know if I actually buy this statement at face value.

It mostly extends from the fact that the Flutter community in general is stuck on a perpetual loop talking about it because there is no “one true way blessed by Google wrapped up into a single package that is appropriate for all use cases”.

But in practice it’s exactly the same as any other OOP language or framework where you can pick from multiple paradigms depending on your use case.

Want to use a state machine? There are options for that. Same goes for Rx patterns, local state, redux patterns and more.

There are a lot of extremely complicated apps who don’t have any issue with it in reality and the drama is very much a community problem rather than a real issue.

Just like many people still don't understand why people have Kindles. They would think -- you can read books on phones, many of which are as large as 6.7 inches? Or Why not get an iPad or iPad mini, and you can do so many more things on it? So on and on. (I have two kindles and I don't personally know anyone who has a kindle. But that is fine.)
The issue is that there is so much configuration that it’s basically coding. PHP frameworks are all bloat. It would have been much better to abstract things in a way that you actually spend time on features not thousands of configs.
From user side Youtube discovery is almost completely broken anyway. I ended up removing both home feed and recommended videos block via extension because they didn't contribute anything besides frustration and page load time for a couple years now.

I learn about creators elsewhere and then look up and subscribe to their channel on YT. This flow will work just fine with p2p as long as creators have a video list and an rss feed anywhere on the internet and a single functioning search engine continues to exist.

One of the reasons why I love working on PHP jobs is that I get to avoid "passionate" programmers.

This is the problem when people talk about "socialism", "capitalism", "free market", and these kind of terms. Almost every country on the planet today has some elements of that – barring some extreme outliers – with all sorts of different different implementations and restrictions.

Talking about these concepts in broad general strokes is worse than useless; it just muddles things. Talk about health care, or social security, or specific free market issues, or specific things like that instead.

Medicare is "socialism" and popular; it was already instituted in 1973 (when this article was written). The American people had already "chosen socialism", just not the extreme version the author seems to implicitly assume.
It's still a relatively young framework with a lot of changes going on. I expect that the number of issues on GitHub will decrease after Flutter matures and stabilizes feature-wise.
Your assumption that you need to develop or even use malware to commit these attacks is incorrect. As the article eludes to, most "script kiddies" would be using simple reflection attacks like those utilized by anonymous. This would equate to changing a few lines in a TCP or UDP packet and mass spamming 3rd party site to elicit a flood of responses. This is pretty simple for any 13+ year old with visual basic and some time. Large bot nets rented out for attacks are clearly more dangerous and I would assume (hope) the FBI does target the malware creators and distributors.

> until the ICANN decides you need to verify your domain

ICANN don't do that. Your _registrar_ is required by ICANN policies (search for "Whois Data Reminder Policy") to send you notifications to ensure your contact information is current. Whether your domain gets terminated or not is largely down to your registrar, but if your contact details aren't accurate, you probably aren't getting billing notifications either.
I think this can be generalized to, “when you lose the ability to create a certain Form, you also lose some of your ability to imagine new types of that Form, and instead just rely on shuffling existing versions of it around to generate novelty.”

A bit wordy, but I have the skill of drawing/sketching in mind. There is a big difference between sketching an idea on a blank sheet of paper, and using some kind of software tool that puts you on predefined rails from the start.

That said, I think the notion that ChatGPT replacing “good writing” as an artistic activity is basically nil. It’s more like the next generation of word processing: immensely useful for the right operator, not that useful for people without something interesting to say in the first place.

And worst of all, you are stuck with a shitload of churn every time a new Laravel version comes out. But this is true for Rails and CakePHP and probably many others as well. At least Django seems to be moving a bit slower and not deprecating loads of features on every release.
Small rant. Are display manufacturers (especially eINK/ePaper ones) alergic to a size that matches a standard A4?

I meant all forms of advertising but surveillance capitalism backed targeted advertising is certainly one of its worst forms.
HN/Reddit: "I would love to just give you the money directly instead of watching ads in exchange for advertissers giving you money."

Companies: "Sure, here's the ad-free version. You have to pay 20 times as much as the advertissers do though."

anticensor: "OK, then; what if I pay the same amount as for the ad-free one, and you show me twice as many ads as before?"

Companies: "OK, deal."
Do you think people are more willing to hire contractors due to the economy?
I don't think the relation is all that strong. The US wasn't especially sanctioned after Iraq for example. As far as I know no US assets were frozen and seized. Although, to be fair, maybe people were sanctioning them and nobody noticed because the US is pretty robust. Stealing stuff isn't a usual global response to unjust wars.

The US was looking for a good excuse, and it got one. But I doubt there was a rule on the book saying that they were going to wipe their owings to Russia if the Ukraine was invaded. It isn't like Ukraine is in NATO or has some sort of defensive treaty with the US, all the activity is their initiative because they want to give Russia a black eye/topple Putin.
They won't always be (prohibitive).
This is a case where I wish society didn’t optimize for the lowest price and instead made it acceptable to pay more to make the default option more appealing. Yes, you can always pay for business class, but it’s framed as an upgrade, not the baseline standard.

That's the same Fold that everyone had to RMA repeatedly due to display failures. The story visited the HN front page at least once, and then Samsung did absolutely nothing to fix it.

I'm sorry, but I don't trust anyone claiming they've solved it until they've proven after 2 or 3 gens that there are no elevated failure rates.

Maybe this Google phablet will be the first that solved it, but I can't press X any harder for doubt.
Well that's the human brain for you. It's very good at extrapolating new information from things it's seen and heard that may not be true, without actually telling you that it's basically making shit up as it goes. It's yet another reason why education matters.

I pretty regularly see people bring up the NYT's record and don't really see a problem with context being provided.

Maybe CNN and the BBC are more often submitted here due to the actual news they are covering rather than as part of an agenda that they are continually and explicitly expounding and so need that context less?
He’s on Twitter a lot. I wonder what he would have to say about time and words spent tweeting?
Trains can be and have been blown up. But that's mostly harmless compared to the horrors that could be done to a fully occupied road tunnel with a few well coordinated trucks. Should we stop building roads?

Planes are an exceptional target because they can be deviated to foreign countries or to dramatic impact sites and because are so isolated while in the air. Neither applies to trains.
Uh, the area should be measured like everything else. In fractions of football fields.
It's perfectly distinguishable, because Twitter uses Twitter trademarks and quasi-trademarks, e.g. the "Search Twitter" box, the "Tweet" button, the little blue bird logo, while Bluesky uses Bluesky ones, e.g. "Welcome to Bluesky".

Everything else is so generic that it doesn't represent brand identity. For example, Facebook uses a lot of blue in a similar three columns layout too.
> It's why echo chambers are so appealing to so many people

When I realized just how much of an echo chamber I built myself a few years ago, I essentially forced myself to develop a habit of seeking out "the other sides" opinions. One of the better decisions in my life.
This is exactly why I won't pay The Google a single nickel ever again. It would not surprise me in the least that, after all of this, they begin showing ads for Premium users and justifying it as being fewer ads than for free users. And I can't wait for their sycophants to come to their defense, shaming me for wanting "everything for free."

It's not about paid or free. It's about not trusting The Google, who I believe to be a bastard of a corporation. I pay for plenty of content creators on other platforms. But ads from The Google are the only way for anyone to make money? I don't buy it.

I'm tired of these "game over" clickbait claims.

Just few hours ago another one was "ChatGPT with browsing. Game over for Google?"

It should be very clear to everyone that the games are merely starting here. No one has a monopoly on AI. No one. NO ONE.
We run Julia code in production. These are compute-heavy services called by other parts of the app.
Version upgrades are normally easy. Upgrade, run the unit tests, build the Docker images and deploy to K8s.

I use sapply all the time to transform data all the time. It tends to be less code (no counter, no output initialisation ) and easier to follow if that style is familiar.
> You're deliberately omitting the fact that he says "Much of the Russian military" and "one of those" in a single sentence and presume that he only speaks about submarines, whereas much of the military is still much of it, including submarines.

Parts of it are fine, the Air Forces are likely fine too.

But the ground forces has been completely destroyed they have lost some many vehicles, including tanks that they have started using tanks that they don't even produce anymore.

I like how you never answered my question of why Russia is using T62's if its ground forces aren't being devastated?.

Upto march this year, as it says on the document if you read it.

> The mentioned leak data also suggest Ukraine would likely exhaust their air defense systems by the end of May [1]. Do you trust this intelligence estimate as well as the KIA numbers?

Yes, which is why the west needed to and has been focusing on supplying Ukraine with air defence, which they have been doing.

You would never had the chance in the first place to earn this kind of money if it wouldn't be for the society.

Roads, education, healthcare etc.

Also other people work as hard as you do.

And you know of course it's better for you obviously but only as long as you are part of that group.

There is a reason why people do gofundmes after they can't work anymore.

And the riots etc? Guess what social injustice increases either your life risk or the money you spend of protecting you.
They mean working from there
You can also have that at block level (which is where bcache itself comes from). Facebook used it years ago and I had it on an SSD+HDD laptop... a decade ago at least? Unless you want the filesystem to know about it, it's ready to go now.
Not socialism, that is what it is. The name is rather unfortunate as it brings up this confusion with big-S Socialism but social democracy is probably best defined as a balance between a free-market capitalist economy with a tax-financed social security system, tax-financed (e.g. Sweden, the U.K.) or through some mandatory insurance scheme (e.g. the Netherlands) universal healthcare, affordable (usually free) schooling up to ~16-18 years of age, often with some form of school choice which counteracts the ideological capture seen in some public school systems. Social democracy is not a precursor to "Democratic Socialism" (an oxymoron since it is hard to see how all private means of production can be "democratically" nationalised). It is the most likely end stage of a free market economy since it has shown to be a workable solution to the problems posed by unbridled free-market capitalism without taking away the benefits of the latter.

Have a look at one of those "happiness surveys" [1] and you'll find that the top countries in those list tend to be social democracies in some way or form. Find some Socialist countries - hint: look towards the bottom of the list - and you'll find people are less happy when the promised Utopia remains outside of reach - for them.
