OK, that's just not true. For starters, which make? GNU and BSD are common variants, and aren't 100% compatible. The overlap is large and useful, but does mean that you have to be aware of it if you're using multiple systems.

For my uses, make offers nothing of value over just. I don't need any of the clever build dependency resolution stuff when I'm working in Python, and cargo handles everything better when I'm using Rust. Which isn't to say that make isn't enormously powerful and useful for other people, only that its extra power causes more work than reward for the ways I personally want to use it. For me, just is everything about make that I actually use, minus all the complicating features that get in my way.
Basic human rights haven’t been attacked in the US since the anti-terrorist laws voted after 9/11

But somehow i assume this isn’t what you mean… and this is most certainly not what hollywood chose to put in their series for elevating the moral level of society (since it looks like they’re now reconverting from entertainers to priests). Instead what we end up with are bizarro versions of modern classics.
Please ignore this user, exactly by the stupid things he/she says is how we ended in this fucking misery, people ignorant of their history and completely brainwashed.

USA doesn't even know we exist, all the things the government nationalised are in the red (YPF, Aerolineas Argentinas, etc.).
Hardware memory tagging schemes carefully avoid breaking common C idioms.

What breaks are

- truly dubious programs which use pointers in ways they really shouldn't, and are almost certainly just bugs; like use-after-free. When a pointer with an out-of-date tag is passed to the library, that is pretty much a confirmed use-after-free, which is not a legitimate idiom of non-maximally-portable C, like assuming that all pointers are the same size.

- C programs which manipulate the pointer representation: e.g. run-times for dynamic languages that put their own tags in pointers. These can easily work around tagging. (I've dealt with this on Android recently, quite easily. For the affected objects, I strip the tag away, and work with the untagged pointers. When it's time to pass the pointer back to Android's library, I put the tag back. All other code works as before.
Good to keep in mind, but also those are slightly different cases. One is a low number of very recent (edit: variants) that mutated quickly, the other one is a large number of established strains we've been researching for ages.
> Because commute time is work time. Plain and simple. There are very few unemployed people that take the tube for 1 hour in the morning and in the evening just for the sake of it.

So if I take the tube to see a show, then work should pay for that as well? I’m not working while sat on the tube any more than I’m working while on the way to the theatre.

And if people do decide to work on the train, then they can count that towards their working hours so there isn’t an issue.

If you’re not working on the train, then it clearly isn’t work time any more than that lunch break which companies also don’t pay you for.

Also what about people who have chosen to pay more for a property that is closer to the office? Should they be excluded from this subsidy? Effectively penalising them for not having a long commute? How is that fair on them?

> Since work from anywhere showed that a lot of work can be done remotely, if a company wants someone to work on premises it is obvious that they have to pay for the extra time and effort spent

The ironic thing was during COVID some people were complaining that their home expenses had gone up due to working from home and thus insisted they should be compensated for that too. The British government even issued tax credits to help such individuals.
The person I was referring to is Marvin Minsky, who is dead and thus cannot defend himself.
Something tells me that I haven't trained on 6 TB of code and can meaningfully outperform any AI. That tells me that there's something still structurally missing about the training efficiency. I wonder if this replicates to things like chess/go - for a computer trained on the same number of games that a human is, is the computer still able to outperform a human?
Straw man. Nobody is saying he’s not allowed to have that opinion.

What people are saying is that organizations have a right to choose whether to associate, or not, with people based on their opinions.

It would be a grim world if we took freedom of thought to the extreme of mandating that people who disagree must not object.
Oh I misunderstood, my bad. Upon rereading I see what you meant.
Half of households had a piano:

Yep, just about what one would expect from randomly cutting the top of your uniform distribution off multiple times!

What's interesting is the transforms used to sample in some new space from e.g. uniform random inputs. For instance, disks [1] or hemispheres [2] or an arbitrary density function [3]. Common stuff in light transport simulation, and easy to get wrong.

The crucial part of building tools with AI though is how quickly it becomes obsolete by new models. A little different than other tools.

Yeah Reaper isn't open source, but the licensing system is an amazing breath of fresh air. You can just download it and start using it with no account sign up process and once the free trial (60 days) ends all that happens is a nag screen pops up. You can literally just keep closing the nag screen and never buy the software (though this is an illegal use of the product) but why would you do that if you have the money to support the devs? I bought it as soon as I realized how easy it was to demo and start using.

If one of the primary points of open source software is to promote accessibility, Reaper goes a long way towards this without actually being open source. There is no DRM, there is no need to make an account and do some long sign up process to get Reaper up and running, there is no iLok required (vomits in mouth a little). You can download it in and start working on a project as quickly as your computer can finish installing it.

From Reaper's license popup:

> We are showing this message, instead of crippling this evaluation version of REAPER, because we do not feel technological enforcement of licensing policy is in the best interest of our customers

Reaper is the only professional artistic software (sold as a product) I have ever come across that is remotely realistic about how people use it. Nobody has ever pirated Reaper in the history of Reaper, there is no point and that is how software should work in a more sane world.
C2 was an incredible place at its peak - I was lucky to have started my career while the community was still (only just) functional. Looking back, it's hard to over-state how formative my time on C2 was - not only did I learn a lot about pattern languages, and coding, but the Wiki idea and the way the community operated is something I still think about today.

C2 was a utopian vision of well-informed, kind, co-operative people working together in a radically open and egalitarian way. And it really did work, for a while. Unfortunately, the reasons why C2 ultimately died have been obscured by a well-meaning process of pruning that I think is meant to remove the "bad stuff" and leave only the "good stuff" for posterity. This is a shame, because the truth really is instructive - a few very prolific, toxic, borderline delusional people started dominating the wiki to the extent that more reasonable contributors just moved on. The C2 community started with an assumption that everyone could be reasoned with, and tried to handle the situation kindly and rationally. It was amazing to see the damage a very small number of people - basically just two - could do to a whole community of hundreds of well-meaning but naive people. It got to the point where there were pages dedicated to trying to think about the problems these people posed, with endless discussions about the paradox of tolerance and handling things through openness and kindness, and small factions arguing for permanent bans. Ultimately I think both badd actors _were_ banned, but by then it was too late - all the air was sucked out of the community. Watching the death of C2 unfold really darkened my view about the prospects of truly open societies, and deeply informed work that I've done on building communities since.

Today, nearly all signs of the way this devastation played out have been erased from history. If you search for the names of the malignant characters there are a few mentions here and there, but there's no way to piece together the true sequence of events. I think an important part of C2's story, and one that is more relevant today than ever, has been lost as a consequence. I'm sure Ward has the full edit history of the wiki around, and I think he should publish it, complete and unvarnished, so we can study it and learn from it.
Do I need to make an account on huggingface to get the model? I would prefer not to do it, and just download a zip like you can on github.

Disgusting content marketing. The shtick works like this:

1. Think of a topic that is remotely related to the product you are trying to sell (GPT can even help with that).

2. Write a low-value (what new thing really did you learn from reading this?) article that looks like it's providing useful insight.

3. End with a shameless plug about a service you are trying to sell.

I thought this scam was debunked a few days ago right here on Hackernews? Why is it still getting upvoted?

He's (Javier Milei) been in the rise for the past few years, I really don't know if he's going to win, but I do hope so, even if he's not my preferred Libertarianism candidate.
It’s funny, music was what solved my existential crisis. Software is always being replaced. When I die, chances are my kids and grandkids will never be able to point to a piece of software and say “my dad did this”. Even for my grandfather, who architected several buildings in my home town - his buildings are gradually being replaced and I can’t point them out to my kids anymore.

Music (and other arts), on the other hand, is yours forever and exists forever, and it’s a way for future generations to connect with their ancestors and even pass on a legacy.
The data I am seeing from people suggests that the spike in radiation happened two days before the strike which totally discounts this idea.

I tried with some other undeciphered texts and I just got random translations that changed drastically with every attempt. Once I became skeptical, I tried to see if it could do a simple replacement cipher on English text, and it could not. I don’t think ChatGPT is a good fit for this kind of problem.
> Most of the people seem to prefer hybrid, where they get to go to office a few days a week and spend time WFH a few days.

The numbers given don't seem to back that up.

Either way, the hybrid model is also polarizing, as it proves ineffective over time when people go to the office in non overlapping days, effectively turning going to the office into the same experience as working from home, just away from it.
The bits debating territories East of the Oder are interesting, especially in light of current events.

At one point someone even asks if “Russia” [sic] get to keep the “bits” it stole while collaborating with Hitler.

Of course, those bits now belong to Ukraine.

At one point someone says “Look, Matt, that is the kind of debate we don't need at all in this situation”.

I strongly disagree. Vigorous debates are important. Unified Germany eventually agreed to “cede” the land east of the Oder in 1991.

That’s fine, but if Poland or Germany exit the EU there could be some hard feelings if German residents were deported from Poland.

For its part, Poland is still filled with hard feelings regarding Germany’s WWII conduct. If agreeing to give Poland the land east of the Oder was meant to smooth things over, it failed.

Germany is much better at remembering what needs to be remembered, and forgetting what needs to be forgotten. Maybe a bit too good.
> the level of downvotes/flag-kills of comments just asking "why" and "what happened" is pretty depressing

People I imagine were suspicious that you were not simply asking "why" with the somewhat loaded "offended certain political persuasions" bit.
Viruses don't "resist" vaccines, because vaccines don't act directly against viruses. We're not talking about antibiotics here.
> If they sell "Kubernetes but tuned by AI" and it shows how it saves $ and improves TPC, I'll believe it added value.

This will definitely happen. I've seen a few projects pop up on HN already that implement ChatGPT-based Kubernetes operators. The same will probably happen for the other use cases you mentioned, what's unclear is when, and how much human supervision will be applied, and for how long until the AI is left to do its thing unsupervised.

LLMs are black box optimizers that seem to magically fit every problem-shaped hole in the minds of business executives and the general public alike. I am both excited and terrified at the premise of the timeline we're in.
This would've been a lot less confusing if they'd used

let radius = d * random(random(random()))

instead of

let radius = d * (1 - random(random(random())))

But, if so, probably so much less confusing that folks wouldn't be talking about it here, to be honest.
> If you ever want to do anything with the funds in that wallet (e.g. sign transactions using the private key), you're going to need to connect it to a machine that can connect to the Internet.

Not commenting on GP's point but... No, you don't.

You can prepare your transaction on an online machine, without signing it. With full access to the blockchain, the balance of every address, the "counter" needed so that you tx is legal (in Ethereum's case), which address you want to spend from etc.

Then you transfer that transaction, without using the Internet, to the offline computer and sign it there and transfer the transaction back to the online computer to broadcast it.

The computer preparing the transaction, the one signing the transaction and the one broadcasting it can be three different computers.

You can even do that with an hardware wallet: the hardware wallet does not need to be plugged to a computer that is online. It can be plugged to a computer that is offline.

There are still many issues, even when using airgrapped computers. For example it's possible that a hardware wallet vendor is using non-determinism in "random" parameters chosen to sign transactions to exfiltrate the seed hidden among signed transactions. So even an offline/airgapped computer and a hardware wallet hooked to that offline/airgapped computer wouldn't help.

The Multia used the cut-down LCA4 or LCA45 (Low Cost Alpha) CPU, the 21066 or 21066A. These apparently performed worse than the more expensive EV4 or EV45 parts.

Also, the compilers on Windows NT were from DEC, at least to some extent. In the NT 3.50 SDK there is a manual from DEC explaining what the compiler was - a customised Microsoft C/C++ frontend combined with a port of the GEM backend from Unix or VMS.
A nonprofit that I was (voluntarily) running a mostly static wordpress website for paid a consultant thousands to rewrite the whole website because they wanted an entire conference registration and scheduling system. The new website is still in wordpress, they're paying hundreds per month in 'maintenance fees' but can't get the consultants to do anything for them, I don't have admin access, it doesn't have any new conference or scheduling functionality, and they don't understand why I don't want to help them any more.
Is Bard still unavailable?

It was unavailable to Australia until last week but was made more widely available at Google I/O.

Trezor has additional checks that aren't covered here. I'd really like to know how those were defeated. Especially:

> All Trezor devices are distributed without firmware installed - you will need to install it during setup. This setup process will check if firmware is already installed on the device. If firmware is detected then the device should not be used.

>The bootloader verifies the firmware signature each time you connect your Trezor to a computer. Trezor Suite will only accept the device if the installed firmware is correctly signed by SatoshiLabs. If unofficial firmware has been installed, your device will flash a warning sign on its screen upon being connected to a computer.

There seems to be an element of user carelessness and naivety here. Anyone who follows Trevor's hardware verification checks surely needn't worry about these attacks.

https://www.nspe.org/resources/ethics/code-ethics
My worry is that as we start wiring non-super-intelligent AI more into our society, we'll make ourselves more and more vulnerable in the case where an AGI actually gets out of control. Pulling the plug on AI may mean causing a lot of chaos or disruption. And who is to tell if we will know when things are out of control, before it's too late? What if the people in charge just get fake reports of everything being fine? What if something smells a bit fishy, but it's always on the side of not quite worrying enough? What if the AIs are really convincing, or make deals with people, or exploit corruption?

Not just that, but it may be like fossil fuel dependency -- the more people's livelihoods are intertwined with, and depend on AI, the harder it is to pull the plug. If we need to stop (and I believe we should) it may be easier to do that now before that happens. To just focus on getting use out of the generative AI and narrow AI we already created in areas like medicine, to deal with the massive societal changes it'll bring, and to work on fixing real social problems, which I think are mostly things tech can't solve.
It is what it is, no need for posts like this.

Second time that has been mentioned today. I wish it wasn't YAML.
I'm not sure I understand your point. Obviously children experimenting with each other is very different from children having sex with adults. He didn't even mention older teens, he straight up implied that he

1) thinks that voluntary pedophilia is a thing

2) children can consent to sex with adults (again, broad statement that he didn't even limit to older teens)

That's very different from children experimenting together. Stallman implies that not wanting some adult creep to prey on your kid is just some sort of moral panic, which is... a pretty horrible take and one that is often repeated by predators. A teen having sex with another teen is normal and part of the process of maturing, but with an adult it has a completely different power dynamic.

Plus, being attracted to prepubescent or pubescent teens as an adult is inherently awful and problematic. It has nothing to do with a teen being attracted to another peer.

I’m not convinced that mRNA vaccines as they currently exist are well suited for repeated boosting against the same virus. See, for example:

It takes two to have a disagreement. The House did its job by passing a bill and sending it to the Senate. If the Democrats don't have any demands, that either means they completely agree and will pass the bill or they are planning to default. I don't believe they completely agree with the bill and I certainly hope they aren't looking for default. The last messaging I heard is the Democrats are DEMANDING a bill solely for raising the debt ceiling. So yes, the Democrats are "making demands and threatening to drive off the cliff if those demands are not met".
Look past the flaws of this particular code of ethics.

The better question: Is it time for us to adopt some code of ethics?

Many other professions have important ethical standards. Medicine, law, civil engineering, and many other fields. These standards are broadly respected by the public.

Surely by this point we can all see that software is often just as critical as bridges, medicine, justice, and other public goods. Should we not hold ourselves to some standard?

It's far from exclusive, but I don't know enough about other cultures to definitively say universally strong in all existing ones. (It hasn't been historically.)
Is he talking about pre or post puberty? The term pedophilia sometimes lumps both together. Pre seems quite unnatural, or at least there is no obvious natural mechanism that would make it normal or beneficial. Post is a cultural matter, since age of marriage has fluctuated a lot over time. Discussing post seems reasonably defensible, discussing pre immensely less so.
I think you’re misunderstanding the definition of what that word means.

1) A 12/13 year old and a 16 year old experimenting is likely pedophilia depending on the biology of the 12/13 year old.

2) consent is a circular argument. The assumption that they can’t give consent arises from the assumption of harm and therefore cannot be used to justify harm.

Animals for example can’t give consent to each other, that doesn’t make two bald eagles reproducing harmful.
68 and still play video games. The issue for me these days is finding a game that offers something different or new. Over the years, I’ve played everything from Decathlon to Balance of Power, Doom, System Shock, Command & Conquer, StarCraft, Civilization, even several years of WOW. Recent years, I’ve tried several other MMOs, as well as frequently well reviewed games like Kerbal, Crusader Kings, etc. After 30-40 years of periodic gaming, most of what I see comes across as derivative, offering little that’s new or intriguing. In the absence of immersion and flow, video games fail to provide the relaxation effect that I look for in games to balance my more intellectual pursuits.
