Original message: From a quick peek at the source, this depends on the ChatGPT API for the underlying LLM. It could probably be modified to use a local copy of an LLM, but most models I've seen are 300GB+ and require significant computational resources to operate (think several $15k NVIDIA A100 compute nodes). There's a lot of effort being put in by the open source community to minimize these models and run them on commodity hardware, but as of yet the quality of the responses from the model are correlated with how large (and therefore how much compute) the model has. Give it a year or two and it'll probably be more reasonable to integrate a local LLM for gaming purposes.

It does? As someone who has decided not to have children, I feel very much like I’m the outcast. Particularly in the southern US. Also, here on HN where there are a shocking number of parents compared to say, Reddit.

> We love our apps and mobile phones.

We collectively spend a lot of time staring at them, for sure. That the best paid minds of our time have set themselves to finding ways to "improve engagement" endlessly in various ways and dark patterns probably has a lot to do with that, and I'm far from certain that it's good for human... anything, really. Health, sanity, happiness, the works. We've been told that "social media" (which is what a lot of the staring at phone involves) connects us, but study after study demonstrates the exact opposite - that it atomizes us and alienates us, with plenty of follow on impacts on happiness, contentedness, etc. It's a great gig, make people unhappy and then sell their eyeballs to people who want to the sell them the solutions to that problem, but let's not pretend it's more than just seeking more money.

There is certainly a range of things that can be done with more money to spend on a society, but American healthcare being "staggeringly expensive" doesn't also mean it's "the best."

This can 'sort of' be done thru loan assumption. But it is a provision that only some loans have. And it isn't tied to the borrower but to the asset. Example would be you were selling your house and a buyer wanted to 'assume' your mortgage. They could actually do that where they take over the remaining principal, a loan assumption provision would allow that. Granted, the buyer would still need to come up with the cash for the rest of the price of the home (selling price - remaining loan balance) and to do that, the buyer would either need to bring cash to the table or get a 2nd loan to make up for that difference.

> I'd like for humanity to keep going until the average Sri Lankan or Congolese can live like the average Texan or Swiss does now

What if the average Texan could use 1/2 as much energy as they do now and still have a decent lifestyle? Even a better lifestyle. In a lot of ways cars are not healthy for us, for example. What if we made more of our trips on ebikes, for example? Much less energy use and a bit of exercise. I'm not sure the average Sri Lankan wants to be as obese as the average Texan - similar for rates of diabetes. I think Sri Lankans can do better than the average Texan by keeping their cities walkable (and bikeable) and not putting in a lot of car-centric development which is the norm in Texas.

I don’t think you understand anything about writing or recording music. Everyone copies and imitates. This Robin Thicke lawsuit spooked so many working musicians because they all work like that. Pharrell Williams isn’t some hack. He’s a genius hit machine. His “reverse engineering” of the drum track Gaye’s drum track is part and parcel of the creative process. It is absolutely absurd that they were found liable. It certainly gave the Gaye family the gall to sue Ed Sheeran for using the same chord progression…

Most "software engineers" don't have licenses/credentials backing up their job title, anyway. Compared to other industries, it's lightly regulated at best. So long as that's the case, I think the current balance, which includes the possibility that a programmer will be dismissed for failure to comply, is reasonable. From an HR and PR standpoint, companies who do so will be facing the threat of blowback related to disclosure that a programmer was fired for using their judgment on an ethics question rather than taking orders. That's not nothing.
Don't discount the value (or difficulty) of a great user interface

There are multiple servers that provide the backend "meat" already: gyre.ai (my personal project); Automatic1111 webui; InvokeAI; plus all the hosted APIs to name just a few.

There are no UI interfaces I'd consider great. I think Flying Dog aistudio[1] is the best (although I'm biased), but still early days. The UI part of WebUI is ... functional(ish).

DreamStudio / StableStudio is super basic in capability at the moment, but it's a space with tons of room for improvement.

> the rp2040 dooms it; the rp2040 lacks a reasonable deep-sleep mode; its lowest-power mode is nearly a milliwatt, so it will drain the battery flat when it's not being used

Low tech immediate solution: add a power switch cutting off the battery.

Bad for the RTC, but it's nothing that NTP or even rdate can't fix (or just don't use the switch if you need the RTC)

Better solution: replace the rp2040 in the next revision.
Who exactly are the boogeymen who are tunnel visioned on making "numbers go up"? The vast majority of people's political beliefs instead come from narratives that resonate with them, which is how you get ridiculous ideas such as degrowth will magically solve climate change and catalyze a proletariat revolution. IMO, we would be in a place if people genuinely tried to shape their beliefs based on raw numbers. In the few instances that people care about numbers, it is to do the opposite: cherry-picking numbers that reinforce their worldview.

No idea. Hmm, off the cuff maybe I’d conjecture that there cannot exist any initial configurations such that the ant gets stuck in a loop of finite length for infinite iterations.

On any Nth iteration, the ant has only touched <= N tiles. Suppose we do a thought experiment where we create a second board that is empty except for the initial states of the touched tiles up to the Nth step. This second board has finite support, and so the usual theorems kick in, and consequently the ant will eventually start building a highway that would carry it away from the initial loop.

I’m just making up guesses though, I have no clue if that is right.

My inadvertent lack of detail leads to an interesting misunderstanding. I am the android user. So in the iPhone user's case, it was airdrop or nothing. The picture was important enough to ask for but not important enough to spend an extra thirty seconds dictating a email address. The picture has more detail than just the license plate. It also had the car make, model, condition, road, position, and metadata. However, I'm not sure the legality (chain of custody, etc) of someone's hastily shot picture of a car driving when dealing with a hit-and-run. Better to have and not need though.
If you want to phrase it that way, sure. I won't argue. It gets at the core of it well enough. Though I'd rephrase the second part as "Building a robust lifestyle against a wide range of possible disruptions."

That's a lot of fluff for meaning to say that subscriptions earn more than one-time purchase fees.
What everybody (homeowners, forestry types, loggers, environmentalists, etc.) can agree to is prescribed burn practices should be improved.

At the time, the story told about the Cerro Grande fire was an inexperienced Forestry agent started a prescribed burn in the heart of the Spring wind season, leading to an inevitable wildfire that no local NM understanding local conditions would have approved. Probably the most expensive fire in NM history.

The story told of the Hermits Peak fire is another outsider Forestry agent tried to squeeze a prescribed burn into a very narrow “safe” time slot to stay “on schedule”. To no one’s surprise, the fire didn’t care much about the narrow slot of safety and the largest wildfire in NM history resulted.

I think giving a State powers to selective delay any specific prescribed fire within their borders (State, Fed, tribal) would have prevented both destructive NM fires. Local wisdom counts for something and at least the Feds don’t come off looking like idiots when things get out hand. Maybe the Feds and the State together would look like idiots, but not just those outsider Feds.
> More bizarrely is what incentive they would have to artificially reduce their reported earnings?

The overall shrink number is known and auditable, but they have plenty of incentive to adjust which proportion of shrink they attribute to external theft vs internal theft vs damages if they think one will play better with shareholders than the other. (E.g. external theft is likely to be an industry-wide problem, whereas an increase in internal theft might indicate that Target specifically is struggling to hire high-quality staff)

Sure. No one says "I want the value of my house to go up" but everyone says "This plot near my home shouldn't be an apartment block. It should be a park".

Ideally, for those who believe this, their house is solo on a block and then around it is nothing but parks paid for by other taxpayers.
I think you may have gotten too hung up on the idea of "guaranteeing" thriving.

A "thriving wage" is not as well-established a concept as a "minimum wage" or a "living wage", but I'm hardly the first to mention it. It basically means a wage at which people will, in general, have enough for all the necessities of life plus enough extra to actually enjoy living.

This does not guarantee thriving, or eliminate misery. Plenty of people are very capable of making themselves miserable no matter what their other circumstances.

A thriving wage, on its own, does not even guarantee no homelessness. (I believe we should be solving that through other means.) For one thing, it doesn't even guarantee everyone a job.

What it does guarantee is that everyone who has a job has a very real opportunity to make themselves a comfortable life, provided they make reasonably good choices about where to live. (A federal "thriving minimum wage", for instance, would be unlikely to meet my above criteria in downtown SF right now.)

(Personally, I'm more in favor of UBI, but the poster I originally replied to was specifically talking in terms of that being impractical to implement, which I think is likely to be true right now.)

Why did Terraform end up being the dominant product? Product-market fit. That’s not just engineering, but bringing to market a product at the time when people need and understand it. This includes marketing and educating. Also, Terraform has an ecosystem of prebuilt providers. NPM as a package manager is not as well designed as other systems, but it’s arguably been the most successful. While the internal prop tech you mentioned may be more advanced, it’s not obvious you had the right product people with vision to build out that ecosystem. Most managers and product people at large companies aren’t tech savvy beyond buzzwords
The article is not quite clear why the contractor had to split the intangible goods cost to the tangible ones, but it does give a hint. Federal accounting is meant to prevent possibly corrupted overspending and that's why charging for intangible services is not allowed or made more difficult than charging for something tangible that can be measured and counted afterwards and compared to market prices.

So to me it sounds like this: you hired me to make a wall of bricks around your garden. I did it and presented you a bill: bricks 100$, mortar 20$, work 300$. Then you say I cannot charge for work as that's intangible and I have to restructure the bill by allocating the cost of work to the tangible objects. So instead of charging for work I split the cost of it by two and charge a bricklaying fee of 150$ divided by the number of bricks for each brick and another 150$ for mixing the mortar. Because I'm pissed off by your awkward and unpractical accounting requirements and not going to start figuring out more complex ways of dividing the cost between the materials, when everybody knows that it's the bricklaying that counts and not the bricks or mortar.

And that's how you get very expensive mortar or 600$ hammers.

Based on my personal experience attempting something like this, most people will not understand it.

To minimize risk, I'll recommend having conversations with other FAANG people in your network and create a soft back-door.

This is obviously opposite of "burn your bridges" strategy, which is quite popular and may not be your vibe.
Your main comment is literally untrue and contrary to the article, and pointing out a separate problem with telling what things cost doesn’t change that.
One approach that I found interesting, and that is gaining momentum in British Columbia is the championing of a first nations indigenous "fire keeper" "cultural burning" movement: https://prescribedfire.ca/cultural-burning/

http://nationnews.ca/community/fire-keepers-bring-back-cultu...

It especially makes sense in the context of BC where pretty much the whole province is actually unceded first nations territory; the indigenous groups there never signed it away to the Crown like they did here in Upper Canada.
>I just use less energy, by an order of magnitude or so, in the winter - and I bundle up out here.

Unfortunately this is about as far as "degrowth" gets: "what if we were just cold?" Or worse, hot? How do we enforce this, anyway? Rationing? Taxes on energy? Have you seen what happens to politicians when gas prices go up?

People complain about fast fashion — should we have a tax on clothes? People moan about airplanes — do we want it to be harder to travel?

>we've ended up in a debt-based economy

If you want to be taken seriously, step one is not adopting Ron Paul's economics rhetoric.

"The economy" is a description of what people are doing. Do we do things for ourselves, or do we do them for the doing — is this the right question? Is it even a meaningful question?
I returned a macbook today.

My previous one, a 2015 mba, runs like garbage now. It's the slowest thing you can imagine.

My equally old linux laptop runs just fine though. Not 100% as fast as before, but there's so much less cruft that it's still good to use.

The mac I returned had 8gb of ram and was meant to be an internet box, but the m-series aggressively uses swap memory to burn out the SSDs and force you to replace the entire machine within a few years. It's nuts. I had 1TB of SSD writes in a single day when I downloaded and installed nothing due to all the swap being used--7GB. That was just web browsing. The same workload on my old 2015 mba uses like 6-7GB of ram and no swap.

At 1TB per day of writes to swap, the lifespan of the machine was going to be extremely short

It's so gross.

I don't know what I'm going to do for my next laptop. I wish more companies could make good keyboards

Human invention isn't, but energy certainly is, and the correlation between "economic growth" and "energy use per capita" is very, very strong. At least some of the "degrowth" has been a result of "financialization services," or the fine art of playing investor games enough times that you end up believing you're immune to things like, say, the 2008 housing crash.

But we clearly disagree on this matter, and I don't see a point in continuing to go around on it. Time will tell which of us happens to be closer to correct.
