I'm not a fan of this toy example but... are you under the impression businesses want to have multi-annual depreciation of their assets?

As far as I can tell, all businesses would like to be able to deduct all cash outflows whenever they occur, regardless of whether it's capex or opex. Businesses depreciate across long time cycles because that's what they're forced to do.

As long as they can carry forward losses, don't all businesses want accelerated depreciation?
Even nice socks are pretty cheap. Time spent thinking about socks is almost certainly negatively valued due to when factoring in opportunity costs. So yeah, toss the orphan socks.
I remember when this came out, and was interested in getting one!

Unfortunately I was aiming to use it to generate TOTP codes (and replace my authenticator app), but IIRC it needed a RT clock and thus a battery, which was not part of the design.

Great project though.

These straws are just awful. They seem instantly de carbonate drinks resulting in only foam coming up the straw. Though they aren't all the same, the McDonald's ones seem to work ok.

Banning the plastic ones was fine, but I'd rather no straw over a coated paper one.
In fact it is not true: https://www.city-journal.org/article/is-the-criminal-justice...
Stallman is known to be fairly academic and pedantic about how words get defined, and historically all act of sexual assault was defined in term of coercion.

There are still people in 2020 that get surprised when people talk about assault which does not involve coercion. Sweden as an example updated their laws in 2018 to change from a coercion based definition to a consent based definition (Stallman post was in 2003).

Stallman changed his mind in 2019, by highlighting that harm can exist even without coercion.

What I recall before they changed the law, people did occasionally discussed the word definition of coercion when it came to sexual assault. It was one of the major reason why they changed it to a consent based definition. I don't know however if the US academic word had similar discussion, but I wouldn't be surprised.

You do not need to convince me that industrialization is good. I agree. What troubles me is the irresponsible approach.
Yet I have a counterexample where I’m sure you would have done fine but GPT4 completely missed the point. So whatever it was doing to answer your example, it seems like quite a leap to call it “reasoning and understanding”. If it were “reasoning and understanding”, where that term has a similar meaning to what it would mean if I applied it to you, then it wouldn’t have failed my example.
Are you implying that a human--maybe you--might somehow have experienced 6 TB of English if you just go back to when they are a baby?

Does it have a view of what licenses can mix, or is it simply disallowed from crossing that boundary and only offer answers sourced entirely within the confines of this or that specific license? The latter poses some interesting scenarios and questions.

> but Stallman is also not known to actually change his mind very often

Stallman is also not known as someone who can be coerced to say he believes something that he doesn't believe in.
Can we also observe how ridiculous it is to be arguing over whether or not similar Twitter content is first-party astroturf... about generative AI?

That's a bit like debating whether a gold miner is proficient at alchemy -- if the primary endeavor was actually successful, it would preclude needing to engage in the secondary.

If you had higher-quality generative AI, wouldn't writing marketing tweets, instead of paying for them, be the first thing you used it for?
So then you agree that power imbalances in sexual relationships are a problem. Good. That should be enough to move forward.
True but the rubber met the road and people are upset about the bullshit work of tax filing and not the taxes themselves. So anyone who is arguing this way really should have given up and moved on to another strategy to make taxes painful.

If you want people to hate taxes end and ban automatic payroll deductions and make them pay it all at once. More than half the country will be unable to pay and the whole system will collapse under crushing tax debt.

Or it won't because of how little the average person actually pays that we could literally just have the top %15 of wage earners pay income tax as "the cost of winning capitalism" and we wouldn't even notice.
I like to think that when I was in college I wrote with enough flair and personality that no one could mistake me for an AI. Perhaps I'm overestimating myself.

I'd guess that he was earnestly invited by people who respected his contributions to software despite his social obtuseness. Then when the event was publicized, various "groups" got wind of it, threatened to kick up a public relations shitstorm for the institution, and the people who invited him found themselves overruled by "management".
I imagine, much like in the legal system, there is a reduced penalty for an expression of contrition.
We don't fix them, what on earth are you talking about?

Nobody has any idea what to do about Wittenoom, it's screwed for a relative forever as far as human timescales are concerned. PFAS contamination is the same. So many of our mistakes are. We can't fix Chernobyl, the tens of thousands of barrels of DDT at the bottom of the ocean off the coast of California or scores of other atrocities we have committed. This isn't a case of breaking out the dustpan and broom and packing away our toys!
And in between all that is a sprinkling of truly high quality journalists who are doing none of that crap.

Officially adopting __auto_type as auto is good. Unfortunate that N2953 dropped function return type and parameters.

This feature composes with _Generic macros quite well:

#define div(X,Y) _Generic((X)+(Y), int: div, long: ldiv, long long: lldiv) ((X), (Y))

auto res = div(38484848448, 448484844);
auto a = b * res.quot + res.rem;

It also lets you get rid of all the "typeof(X)" foo in macro definitions.
There's a good chance the people who arranged the meeting and the people who canceled the meeting rarely ever speak to each other.

Stallman has definitely been a massive driving force behind many of the technological developments and philosophies that back the thriving open source ecosystem we have today.

On the other hand, he has also stated some pretty controversial opinions regarding children and sexual relationships that I remember reading and disagreeing with in context.

If the tech folks arrange a nice meeting with the guy to discuss open source/GNU/etc. and the PR people are only informed later (after the first complaints of his haters undoubtably came in), the cancelation may have come to a surprise to those who set up the meeting.

It can be easy for technically minded people to brush aside politics and old statements when one wants to focus on discussions around technology, but it can also be easy to forget that most engineers and philosophers don't exist in a vacuum.

The text itself very much reads like "we wanted an in-depth discussion about open source but the organisation decided inviting Stallman was not such a good idea". Perhaps the people who invited him were naive, but I too learned about the controversies surrounding the man years later than many others.

The committee that decided to retract the invitation has clearly not done their homework when they approved the invitation, or lacks the necessary vetting procedures for guests. This is a mistake on the side of the people that canceled the invitation, but I wouldn't necessarily throw the people who sent the invitation in the frost place under the bus.
Getting a medical device certified is much more difficult than selling beverages from a food cart.

People used to drink radium water for health benefits and think smoking wasn't a problem. Good science is reevaluating based on gained knowledge then behaving accordingly. Expect gained knowledge to lead to more strict regulation and certification standards.
> You want a solution? Free market

Desgraciadamente Argentina, un país hermoso, con gente maravillosa, ha estado en manos de poderosas fuerzas políticas que han destrozado el país a través de décadas de afanar, subyugar y controlar. Lo único que les importa a esos reverendos HDP's es mantener el poder. Y ahora le están vendiendo el país a China. Genial la idea. No?

Interesting that there's a thread about problems in Argentina. I posted something about this on another conversation earlier today. It was violently and mercilessly downvoted and flagged, which is normal for HN. Why? Because leftists in the US don't want to hear the truth about the garbage they have come to believe through indoctrination.

Not sure you can still read it, here's the link:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35951446

People in the US are so ignorant about history of other countries, and, in particular, Latin America, that they are solidly marching in a direction to make all the mistakes history has proven to destructive to societies.

Schools, universities, in the US are teaching hatred of free market concepts. They are indoctrinating kids into actually believing things that have been proven, time and time again, to be destructive to society. These are the kinds of things have have been happening in places like Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Ecuador, Colombia and nearly every country in Latin America for decades.

In fact, I tell my friends that places like Argentina are like a time machine for the US. If you study what happened there at various times it is impossible not to draw parallels to what has been happening here for a decade or two.

As I mentioned in my the post linked above (flagged, so I don't know if anyone can read it), my parents had business in Argentina and so I lived there a number of years when I was a teenager. I saw the transition into the military regime and everything that went with it.

I also say in that post that if you actually ask people who have lived in such countries how they feel, the last thing they are going to say is that big government control of everything, high taxes and all the crap being pushed here in the US are things they enjoyed. What you will typically hear is exactly what you said: Free market is the best thing for any society.

I’m not an old older worker (37), but I’m a generalist (I’ve done design work in the past, heaps of frontend/UI work on the web and mobile, plenty of backend work, and now a fair amount of work around embedded systems and hardware). I’ve been getting a lot of attention from recruiters very suddenly, but I’m noticing it’s much different work from the last five years or so. I’d say the majority of it is in technologies related to health, which isn’t really where I want to be.

The AI hype train hasn’t touched me, and the hype trains of yesteryear have gone totally silent. The work I used to get approached about most (full stack web roles) have eerily dried up.

It’s nice to know there’s work available, but a little concerning that I’m not finding what I’d like to be doing most.

Virtually all roles I hear about or see are senior too, and occasionally but rarely intermediate. I have a huge amount of sympathy for people just getting started right now — it seems like a hard time to get a foot in the door.
Some interesting examples, eg. The sentiment analysis in combination with email routing.

I'm curious about the models and GPU support too. I'm guessing this is currently beta and they are awaiting popularity of this.

The simple ( & cost-efficient) method would be to support CPU-first and then up the scale accordingly. No harm in that, but it could be made more clear regarding the roadmap.

Edit: during private beta there is support for <10 mb. Models.

And I think that's part of the problem. I've done my taxes (in the U.S.) manually for the past couple of years (i.e. filling out a 1040 directly, no TurboTax etc.), and the amount of times I've read through some absurd item that is clearly only in the tax code to get the vote of some special interest is depressing. Like most 'benefits', there would be uproar if you tried to take them away now by the people impacted, but maybe they could be moved out into separate programs.

Seems like getting to a point where ~75% of the population didn't need to file would be doable if there was enough motivation for it. If your only income is on a W-2, and your only mortgage / banking / trading is with U.S. companies like Chase or Morgan Stanley, no reason that couldn't all be done for you.
This is how it works in Chile

It’s been like this for more than 10 years

In the last 5 the government made everything electronic

Every invoice or receipt any business or individual issues, is digitally signed by the government

If you are a single wage earner, you don’t even need to file your return, your prepaid taxes exactly match your overall tax burden

You can always choose to file if you want to or need to in case your situation is more nuanced

But most people don’t really need to do anything

I think we're gonna have several asbestos/lead moments in our lifetimes. PFAS, micro plastics, endocrine disruption, I'd also wager marijuana is likely to have its own big tobacco moment eventually, I've heard fruits and vegetables have slowly been losing nutrient density over generations but I have not looked into that yet. There's more nebulous things like the impact of AI or the way we now communicate (or don't communicate in many cases)...
We have a lot of problems or potential problems that are going to be relatively subtle and or persistent over years and decades and I don't feel we are really taking them as seriously as we should. One thing that really worries me is how many of these various things may interact, we see this in pharmaceuticals where it's very hard if not impossible to rigorously test all the potential interactions. We have introduced a tremendous amount of changes to our lives in increasingly short time frames.
"There's absolutely no coherent and/or constant consensus where to head the country from let say today to 20 or 30 years."

mmm, quite the opossite, there's is an obvious cabal of private and state actors pushing relentlessly for more inflation, more fiscal deficit, actually creating the cycles you mention.

This not cultural, this a plan, a method, for a clear benefit: cheap dollars financed by the BCRA, this entity - playing along with the Minister of Economy - pushed by the mentioned cabal of political and economic actors to continuously create and sustent the required measures to keep the inflation increasing till the cycles ends (hyperinflation),

and they cash out all the pesos and dollars they amazed during the cycle by buying very very cheap dollars first - this is ongoing, you can see it playing it right now in the argentine markets - but mostly by massive adquistion of cheap assets valued in pesos (giant holdings, thousands of otherwise valuable stock market stuff, sold by penies by investor trying to cut their loses having missed the chance to get out before the cycle's end), acquired in dollars cheaply gotten previously.

Then cycle restarts.

Most of the assets are kept for a while, till the economy jumps back from nothing to something, and those assets got revalued to a lot more of their adquistion prices because of the expected exponential grow of consumerism - and earnings - financed with a new wave of money printing by the BCRA and new dollars now available - through refinanced debts- in the same BCRA (this is the mentioned cycle restarting).

That is exactly the conundrum. Why would a hybrid team be in the office at the same time? Most likely, only if there’s a requirement to be there at that time. So hybrid doesn’t really work either.
What's interesting about all this speculation about stallman and what he is thinking or not thinking - just read his website:

https://www.stallman.org

you can figure out what he thinks about things because he will tell you.

on the other hand, you can sort of see how issues get cherry-picked for controversy because he probably has thousands of issues he's written about and discusses there.

Most LLMs are completely uncensored including GPT-3.0, LLaMA, StableLM, RedPajama, GPT-NeoX, UL2, Pythia, Cerebras-GPT, Dolly, etc.

Anyway, businesses aren't scared of hosting interfaces to uncensored LLMs for legal reasons. They're scared for brand image/marketing reasons. But this is besides the point that it's dangerous for security researchers to not have controlled access to the uncensored version of GPT-4 for safety research purposes.

Taxes don't reduce your purchasing power insofar as everyone else also has to pay them, so your relative amount of post-tax money is the same, and the tax system is progressive, meaning your relative position is actually a little better.

Kinda cool. A little feedback:

- random(x) made me think x was the seed. Maybe call it random(0, x) to make it clear to most that you mean min 0 max x.

- The random() probably looks nonuniform to most people. Looking at the code, it's a random angle and length in polar coordinates, with the angle not getting any additional random() wrapping in the other examples. XY coordinates would be clearer.
