All the research I'm aware of suggests that it was common
(assuming you survived childhood) to live into your late 40s or beyond up to 180,000 years ago. That's an average, so it's very likely that some would have lived into their 60s or even 70s. As a relatively modern (and admittedly exceptionally) datum, Emperor Justinian I lived to 83.

Life expectancy dropped from it's pre-historical peak as we started living in larger communities due to disease (more communicable due to proximity and more prevalent due to greater quantities of local rot/sewage/permanent structures where e.g., rats can live), warfare (more prevalent due to desirable wealth amassed in cities, more deadly due to improved weaponry, the tendency to raze cities, etc.), the worldwide rise of slaves as the motive power of industry (both the taking and use of which reduced life expectancies), and food insecurity (more likely vs sparsely populated, nomadic hunter gatherer groups due to crop failures, warfare, and taxation by sometimes multiple layers of ruling class). The improvements in these categories, plus the role of modern medicine in reducing infant and maternal mortality, are largely responsible for our current increases in average life span, in my casually informed understanding.
Yes. Bricking the network in the middle of a voip call, or meeting is unpleasant. Waking up to a broken network is also unpleasant, when I need to do my job, an instead have to go fixing some underdocummented mess of a gadget.
>Suddenly you really need all those basic sysamin features a business system provides

It's good for a learning experience :)

And now, the ISP routers have caught up imo

I just use that now and it is fine. Plug in as much as possible with Ethernet. If that fails, it's probably a router issue or ISP network issue, and then it's on the ISP side to fix.
Well it's not really the model itself that is the valuable part, it's what you build on top of it. And here nobody knows what the killer app is (yet)
> Unless something goes wrong, this engine could easily equip the majority of Boeing and Airbus that fly in 2030

Does this imply retrofitting existing planes with the new engine? Is that a common task / how expensive is it? I can’t find any info online.
I don't downvote, but I dislike your attitude about problems not having solutions.

You're saying "nothing" can be done. Should we same the same about everything? Climate change, nuclear proliferation etc?
I'm not a fan of herbicides in general, but I have to admit that direct application of glyphosate in this manner is extraordinarily effective and, if done correctly, poses almost no risk to other nearby plants.
Yes but these companies don't pay that 15%. They all get special deals paying pretty much nothing. That's what that ongoing lawsuit is about by the EU against Apple. They're still trying to get almost 14 billion euro paid.
About three-quarters of the way down the page:

"There would also be a text input. If the user couldn't do something with the UI, they would enter what they are attempting to do. Using a natural language processor, like ChatGPT. The software would return a list of features that could help. Each has a button to add them to the UI. Going back to our painting app. Imagine you wanted to add color to a shape. With the current UI, you can't. Enter "Color a shape" into the text input, the paint bucket tool will become available to add to the UI."
This sounds like a local “newspaper” that’s 90% ads.

I’ve got one that fully identifies as a newspaper but there isn’t even a single article on the front page.
I liked the article all the way to the point where the author reinvented the help menu, but now with AI.

(Aside: I believe these queries are strictly the wrong thing, asking seven.zip what its nameservers are, but you actually need to ask the zip. nameservers what seven.zip’s nameservers are. The two will normally match, but don’t actually have to, and in my crazy hacker dreams (you know, the ones where five dollar wrenches don’t exist) I can imagine the difference being used sneakily. But I’m not sure if there’s any good way of asking for the actual nameservers with dig, which is basically “`dig +short zip. NS`, then `dig +short @one-of-those-zip-nameserver-addresses seven.zip.

Sorry if this is off-topic but I often see in HN (either in articles posted here, or in the comments) lack of empathy.

He talks about a "friend" and then proceeds to say things like "To be honest, I suspect he didn't know or think much about them" or "This was not a fruitful conversation".

How is that supposed friend, who might very well be aware of this person's blog, going to feel after reading this? Is it a cultural thing and this is not offensive everywhere?

The irony is that the main page says "I ♥ people; look for ways to make them happy, and empower them."
I thought this was about something related to the PDA's, and was sad after clicking the link that it's just more AI stuff (PaLM).
Haskell does not natively support literate programming -- it only allows the comment/code default to be swapped. The format named "literate Haskell" is basically just syntactic sugar for {- comment blocks -}. Literate programming requires the ability to decouple the ordering of code relative to the commentary.

I wrote more about this at <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35985835> and <https://john-millikin.com/software/anansi#history>.

I actually switched away from a UDM after finding out that I could only hit 500 Mbit/s uplink (out of ~930) due to a PPPoE performance bug as there's no hardware offloading and the old Cortex-A57 cores (in a SoC from a vendor now owned by Amazon, so extremely end-of-life) just couldn't handle that.

Now I'm running a Turris Omnia with the bundled OpenWRT fork for router tasks and that seems to work fine.
Woke just means "not white supremacist" so OP's complaint is incoherent non-sense.

This is not unusual amongst Indo-European Languages, Sanskrit is similar. In fact, Baltic languages like Lithuanian seem to be a close sister to Indic languages like Sanskrit. [1]

Given the error they had in the log was no space left on device, then the fix probably does require the removal of the file.
I have an AC-68U but had been keeping my firmware up to date. Fortunately it has been rock solid, including yesterday and today.
Interesting. My experience is the opposite. If I’ve listened to a book, especially for fiction, I’ll typically remember it completely. Whereas if I read it in text, the chances are not as good.
Agree, first-party tracking is a legitimate business interest. When you interact with a business, you should reasonably expect that they will gather some data, voluntary or not. Even basic stuff of "a user purchased a pair of socks and a birthday card", then they can use the info to improve the user experience, like put those products closer together or offer a bundle discount.
I'm not really trying to make a big statement, since the general gist of 'I, Pencil'[1] is obviously indisputable. But the point is actually about self-organization rather than atomization (ie maximum specialization). It doesn't make particularly strong statements about whether breaking knowledge down into parts is intrinsically better, just that a self-organizing system (specifically a profit incentive) will cause actors to move towards whatever level of specialization is most effective.

There are known caveats to the general idea (Nash equilibrium, Hotellings's law) but I'm just trying to point out that even despite the general correctness, there are people who are very heavily vertically integrated. And you would in fact expect those people to exist, because local minima are a fact of reality and you need people to understand larger parts in order to see past local phenomena.

'Ars Longa, Vita Brevis'[2] is a well-liked post that is in line with what you're describing. It's a bit funny, because the weak form argument (specialization is generally good) is totally obvious and there's basically no way to attack it. Specialization is the thing that has made society possible, and if anything it's more effective now than it was at the invention of simple tools. But the strong form requires some pretty specific assumptions.

A few thoughts:

1. It's interesting, but realistically I'm unlikely to get into the Java code where all the interesting logic is

2. My impression of the code is that all the interesting stuff is in World.java [1] and the many models [2]

3. I don't see obvious prompts in here. I'm guessing they are somewhere, though also built dynamically (maybe mostly through string concatenation). In my experience it's essential to be able to see and understand the prompts, both abstract/template prompts and the instantiated prompts and responses. Also, having done it both ways, I find that keeping prompts separate from code is helpful. They feel different and you iterate on them differently.

4. You should be wanting to get to a place where most of your changes are prompt-driven. That is, you may be changing code, but only because you are refactoring your prompts in some qualitative way. With some good DSL you can even support qualitative changes, like changing the chain, or making a prompt multi-stage.

5. My intuition is that an important feature of GPT to these applications is the ability to apply multiple frames to the environment. Which is a fancy way of saying many different prompts that include different system prompts and different purposes. But I can't really find the prompts here so I don't know what's happening.

6. The paper this was based on was really inefficient with calls to GPT, costing according to the paper thousands of dollars to run an in-game three-day trial. I think you're going to want to deal with that right away. You want to move more execution out of the LLM (for instance by having the LLM come up with higher-level instructions that are carried out by simpler algorithms). Also you probably need more chattiness to allow the LLM to indicate what information it wants, instead of providing the LLM with all the subjective information a character has.

Anyway, a few thoughts, good luck!

Our team switched about a year ago to huge benefit. We’re using VSCode locally to connect and edit repos hosted remotely.
VSCode’s remote extensions are really good and from a code editing perspective the difference is almost imperceptible.

One of the drivers for us is we use remote dev databases and services so overall latency is dramatically reduced. It also allows us to much more easily deploy dev environments that are almost identical to production.

The downside is folks can no longer use their favorite editor but for now everyone’s happy with VSCode.

KDE puts confirm on the left, iirc their reasoning is that people read left-to-right and want to see the most likely option first.

The real answer is: trust is not a problem that can ever be fully mitigated by smart technology and that's why we depend on things like the wonderful package maintainers of debian and other projects to do due diligence for the rest of us!
Seriously. Anyone only has to look for a second and see how many Americans are struggling day to day, paycheck by paycheck. Quick search says up to 78% of Americans do. That’s “essentially indentured servitude”.

I think a lot of the case focused on the temperature of the coffee. McDonalds brewed it above 135F and that put it in the category of "burn risk". They could have brewed it slightly cooler, but McDonalds thought it would detract from the taste.

Having "caution hot" was probably not enough of a warning. They should have put "caution burn risk" or something like that on the cups.
Please consider the amount. How many collision can happen in one prounciation in English? It is on average 2, maximum about 4. Chinese is like 6-10, Japanese is like 10-20.

If you don't do comparison, of course there is no difference.
It’s easy to argue this is restricting free speech for the American based users.

Do you have intimate knowledge of how strong the carbon fiber structure of the car is?

Like, I agree we shouldn't have cars that can go over even 100mph on public roads, as that risks other people's lives, but all of them can already. If someone wants to risk their own life with an insufficiently caged car at a race track, that is their business, no need to make it illegal.

Plus drag racing has recently changed the thresholds where cages are needed to be more in line with modern cars, which are stronger and can go 8 seconds without any drama, and have good brakes to stop from there.

Thank-you for the clarification. "Open-source" is definitely different from "Open Source."

Meaning Open-source (sourced from open sources) but claiming Open Source is disingenuous.

Wikipedia isn't helpful either, because it refers to OSS as Open-source Software [1].

Open Source meaning may be more useful in comparison to Free Software. Stallman refers to "Open-source" (hyphenated) only once in this article, but only to refer to it as confusing versus free software [2].

It's possible "OSINT as Open-source" has been in use for longer than Stallman's use of "open source," but definitely they are different.

It's strange a site would sell up a feature on HN as "Open-source content, in the meaning of OSINT" without being up-front about it. The default assumption would be "open source as code that is free to modify, etc."

The mental gymnastics would be

1. They claim it is "open source."
2. They are talking about _content._
3. It must be the OSINT kind of "open."

This could be a pattern, because they're always needing to add another comment, "Just kidding, we meant OSINT open; we're not sharing the code."

... documentation could be open source too, though--in the sense of "free to modify, etc" and not "sourced from freely available data."

Could it be both? Only if they accept contributions, I guess.

> The EC/Member States are more than capable of setting up an Apache Foundation-like to handle all of this. I don't know what is lacking?

Language discussions are unpleasent and waste of time

Ive seen like hundreds of discussions like that

Java vs c# vs rust vs go vs kotlin

It is always heavy of emotions, unverified claims (performance especially)

and dependent on what stuff do you value.

This kind of discussion requires wide knowledge, hands on experience, curiosity and open mindness.

All of those 4 are really desirable itself, so together even more and are really rare!

>I prefer to work with an excellent software engineer, who doesn't tie their identity to a specific language or technology (e.g. would prefer a great hacker than someone who identifies as a "Ruby developer" or "JS developer.")

Why it matters to you how somebody calls himself?

Is this "single lang programmer" insult variation?

Especially when you are aware that concepts are above languages

>For all my advocacy in this post, it may surprise you to hear that I believe it takes years to be excellent at a language. It's not just syntax, it's soil and atmosphere: common bug flows and how to spot them, footguns, tooling,

Agree!

Many people do not get it, they are always like "you can learn langs after your first within a month" or so

“Stored away for long periods of time to minimise fading” is such a polite way of saying “so that future generations have a chance of seeing it, _you_ aren’t able to see it today”.
Was it really peak UI? Software is so much more complex today and accessibility and UX is actually a thing now. I feel like if you tried to make a modern program with a 90s UI approach, it would have glaring flaws.
If you live in the US and your house was built in the past 20 years or so, check if you have old school phone jacks around. Many contractors took a “short cut” and ran dedicated cat5 cable to each of those wall ports instead of daisy chaining cat3 (probably was cheaper to buy cat5 in bulk).

Take the face plate off your phone jack and if you see a wire with four pairs of wires inside, only two connected to the jack, you may be in luck. I had rented a few townhomes which were like that, enabling me to build out a simple wired network without modifying or drilling at all.
It'd be fair to say that the left of 2023 has a different focus to the left of 1886.

That might be the real answer, but not very satisfactory, as it suggests that this domain just shouldn't exist.

At least 7-zip.org could have a list of domains that they own and control if they wish people to use these alternate domains.
Actually, there is a large number of manufacturers using OpenWrt as a baseline for their firmware. Unfortunately, these are often outdated version of a forked OpenWrt with heavy modifications to include firmware blob for hardware acceleration and such.
A loved one was inpatient for a few weeks at a local epic hospital/medical system and then a more specialized/academic hospital with a federated collection of cerner systems.

It’s a night and day difference. The GUI may be ugly, but the Epic implementations tend to be soup to nuts. Everyone, from the transporters moving patients to the doctors to the primary care providers to the patients know what’s going on in real time.

At the teaching hospital, they had awesome medical capability, but nobody had a clue what was going on. That leads to risks if you need care from multiple specialties.

I’m sure that it’s garbage enterprise software of course.
I think automatic updates for a typical all-in-one home router is totally OK, and preferrable, for people who don't have the know-how to improve on it (because I'm not an opsec professional or hobbyist). It's unfortunate that these are also the people who face extended outage when something like this does go wrong. They can't fix it themselves, and the nephew that can might not be available for days.
And then give it away for free of course!

It's incredible to me how little insight our conscious selves have into what's going on in our subconscious. It seems like almost all the cognitive hard work goes on in the back end systems and the front end we usually think of as being 'us' is just a thin veneer of awareness. Like a user interface between our unconscious selves and the rest of the world.

So when I'm speaking the words just come out. I've got a vague sense of where I'm going and the point I'm about to make, but it's certainly not verbal at that stage. My wife has afantasia, which is not a condition or anything as such, it just means she has no inner monologue and hears no inner voice when e.g. reading a book. Conversely one of my daughters says she is consciously aware of what she is about to say in words several seconds in advance even while speaking rapidly. My mother is an amateur artist and says she has crystal clear visual imagination and photographic memory.

There seems to be a significant variation in how our conscious and cognitive processes work between individuals, including some having varying levels of access to cognitive mechanisms that in others are completely subconscious.

That's just one example of very significant differences between individuals in one family, even in direct lines of descent, so this doesn't seem to be entirely genetic. It leads me to suspect that there may we be similarly very significant variations in how all sorts of other cognitive functions operate between individuals.

I'm sure there's an overall architecture to our brains and neurological machinery. Various brain areas are clearly specialised into particular cognitive functions, but it may well be that, within those areas, how our brains get to implement those functions might have quite a bit of variation.

In the US, it's been ruled many times that if the government mandates a standard, then it must be publicly available for free to be enforceable.

Which is why, when the NFPA (private org) fire code is mandated, you can use a really shitty web based viewer to view it for free, or pay the normal $200 for a hard copy or pdf. All stemming from a lawsuit.

You mean pretty much the very first thing that the Nix Manual suggest in the Quick Start:

https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/quick-start.html

and then later again in the Basic Package Management section:

https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/package-management/basic...

I fully agree that it is using Nix in the wrong way. But if it's something that Nix's own manual suggest, you can't blame people for doing the same.
I wish my friends were this honest and blunt. I acknowledge that the friends I keep would almost certainly disagree though.
