> Even if an AI has the launch codes for ICBMs somewhere in its training data, it doesn't have an interface to the nearest missile silo to use them. It cannot commandeer the resources (hardware, space, cooling, electricity) it needs to operate, it is dependent on humans to supply those.

How do you know the AI doesn’t have an interface to the middle silo?

Are there no military systems that are connected to the internet?

Is the power grid connected to the internet? How about our water filtration system?

I’m not worried that gpt4 is going to start launching missiles, but I also don’t understand where the certainty comes from that it isn’t possible for an internet connected AI to launch missiles.

I couldn't find online how to finetune LLMs on an Intel dGPU, so i made a simple version. This particular one can be used to generate text based on your favorite book (for eg). I hope you find it useful if you are having an Intel discrete GPU.
I think it would have been better if they simply said "Firefox is now pink to make you a nicer person" so that more people could understand.
How does htmx compare with alpinejs (https://alpinejs.dev/)?
I guess that depends how you define "interesting". For me, the interesting part of this would be the information, not how it's delivered.

The Big Tech Alert bot is pretty straightforward when it comes to writing style (although they get a little saucy whenever they mention Elon Musk) but they add some personality through emoji, like those "oh my, what happened here" googly eyes when some major account unfollows some other major account.

Maybe other people like the pirate brogue, I don't know. Like I said, it just gets in the way of the information for me.

Imagine a world where counties could vote to move to different states they were adjacent to. One day you are living in Oregon, the next you are in Idaho. There would be little blue island states surrounded by huge red states. Would there would be competition among the states to bring in more counties? Or would some just not care because almost no one lives there?
When I was coming back from visiting family in NZ over xmas, all the ticket machines at one of the platforms were out of order and a DB guy said don't worry about it, get on the train. It was super late, I had all my bags with me and the next train would (hopefully) be in an hour or something. Then on the train he said he would technically need to give me a fine but don't worry, he will write on the fine ticket thing that it is invalid and I can just go to the DB travel centre thing to get a refund. So I go there and they said no, they can't give me a refund, I have to go somewhere else (different building, and obviously closed). So I go another time, obviously losing time and paying extra to get there, and they said sorry it's not valid. 60 euros right there, plus all the wasted time and stress running around with a month's worth of baggage from NZ.

I'm still having trouble dealing with my anger about this and several other incidents, and I basically never have mental issues like this.

There was this other time where a Brazilian lady was sitting next to me for something like 3 hours while our train was delayed 10 minutes at a time, crying super hard while using Google Translate on her phone to ask me what was going on and saying she's going to miss her flights... they struggle to reliably do my 5 minute daily trip to and from work...

Part of what makes this difficult for me to deal with is that I'm staunchly anti-car, and Deutsche Bahn are possibly singlehandedly going to push me to getting a driver's licence at 40, after having resisted it in South Africa, New Zealand, America, England, Poland, Czechia, ...

I can't say it emphatically enough: fuck Deutsche Bahn.
That's not quite the same scenario as GM cars only being able to fill up at GM owned gas stations.
If Firefox is not achieving a better standard than Google, then what is the reason for using it over the better resourced Google Chrome? Being better than Google is the bar it needs to meet to overcome the inertia of Chrome's market share
>That's why LLMs aren't able to "solve" problems that don't have existing writeups somewhere (beyond certain problems more or less equivalent to combinatorial search).

Neither can humans. We create by analogy; "thinking outside the box" just means making less obvious (but still valid) analogies.

>Or produce text useful beyond the mild amusement level (or for spam and/or research fraud -- at which it of course excels quite brilliantly).

People are using LLMs very effectively for writing news reports, opinion articles, legal summaries, and computer code. It's already gone well beyond "mild amusement." There's a reason many companies have had to adopt policies regarding LLMs at work: people are already using them at work.

And sure, LLMs still make lots of mistakes. But they are already better writers than the vast majority of humans, and as I noted, the algorithms being applied are pretty simple yet.

I drive a Tesla day to day (with the latest FSD Beta) - yes, phantom breaking was real - but it's been almost completely remedied for the past few months in my opinion - and I'd be shocked if other automakers (as was mentioned above also have these problems) are as quick to iterate based on feedback.
I count about ~6 generic submissions to htmx root domain or direct /docs with upvotes. More generally it's higher if you include blog posts or self-HN posts. The original submission had 728 upvotes: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23330881

react.dev and reactjs.org has had 2 root url submissions: (728 upvotes) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35186812 and older https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15366446

vuejs.org only had about ~1 meaningful root domain submission: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

I suspect HTMX is more of an idea that people like to talk about on HN more generally, like Clojure and Erlang. Being the underdog matters on social media. Maybe it feels more authentic or relevant to discourse because it's still niche.
Java frequently outperforms Go and Rust. It has a far more mature GC than Go and libraries that have no parallel in either (netty, caffeine).

Almost every company doing real time/stream processing at the scale of TB/hour or greater is doing so by relying on Apache Kafka, written in Java and Scala.

I've personally been a member of a team that wrote several services (network collectors, observability processing) in Go/Rust/JVM (we preferred Kotlin) in parallel for performance comparisons and found the JVM services to show much better throughput.

Your perspective seems quite outdated. Possibly from before Go or Rust even existed?
> C allows you to do anything the machine's instruction set is capable of

Hum, no, unless you count inline asm, it simply doesn't.

And for more control over memory than C, Rust allows mapping high-level types into fixed memory, so the compiler can actually use the correct asm primitives and make your access fast. On C you either have to use a general purpose array abstraction or try to map your types over the memory and pray the compiler resolves all the UB the way you want. Most C developers do the later.

SpaceX has been quite successful, though it also came really close to failing.

Solar city actually failed as an independent company.

Boring company is floundering.

Twitter is having massive issues.

I think he’s done more harm to Tesla after taking it over from the original founders than been a benefit. It’s unclear but he definitely took massive risks which were unnecessary and has many serious failures such as how long their truck has slipped.

All together not a bad track record, but also not nearly as impressive as many people seem to think. I don’t want to suggest it’s luck, but many companies that might have been successful which came that close to failure simply failed. We look back on people who happened to have passed those thresholds because they go past them not necessarily because they had a better approach.

Ebikes won't be mainstream in a typical American city though, the distances between home, goods and services and work are usually too great and cars are basically baked into the culture. Better mass transit and bikes for those living in denser cities, is likely America's only good option.

I don't think e-bikes are unsafe though, their lack of safety is dominantly because of cars, and infrastructure not being set up for cycling.
>A single revenue source is incredibly risky and they're foolish if they aim to rely on search sponsorship revenue alone.

Correct, but there’s a better way to reduce that dependence:

- Stop bleeding money on bullshit unrelated to the core mission.

- Build up an endowment with that sponsorship money to the point that the income it generates is sufficient for their needs.
I’ve had good luck with cheap or ultraportable Acers in the past, but this has an off-center trackpad and low resolution screen for $899.

It’s an intel processor, so I assume real world battery life is in the mid 2-digit minutes, and suspend/resume is flakey on all operating systems.

The processor “turbo boost power” is 55W (whatever that means — the last N intel laptops I’ve had ran hot all the time under linux, macos and windows, so I’ll read it as “typical power consumption for development work”).

Anyway, the battery is 56Wh, so I’m guessing my intuition about battery life is correct, and this gets about 1 hour real world.

The community is convinced that their form of HTML attribute salad is hypermedia and others, that look better IMO, are not. That explains some of the excitement over it.

They have a tiny bit of a point, in that the forms are able to work without client-side JavaScript* thanks to progressive enhancement, and only Svelte and maybe Remix and a handful of others do that. Svelte does a better job of explaining it and making it customizable IMHO though. https://learn.svelte.dev/tutorial/progressive-enhancement

Though Svelte has this, I think perhaps most Svelte devs prefer JSON to form data, because it's directly nestable. That in general is good for full-stack development. You don't see very much TOML in the framework written by the author of TOML, but you do see a little. :) https://redwoodjs.com/ form-data is very TOML like in its data model.

I think there is something to HATEOAS. It gets around the state sync issue of a distributed system in a clever way. As someone who has mostly built React based SPAs it’s like the network is just part of the unidirectional flow of a reactive app. It doesn’t work for all cases but I think it might work for 80% of them. It also feels right to be so close to just html in the browser.
This HN post has a misleading title (as of the time of this comment).

They backed out of a climate pledge (50% delivery emissions reduction by 2030), not "The" Climate Pledge (100% cross-sector carbon neutral by 2040 and a few other things).
That not really how it works when nations go to war.

Once hostilities start, you need either complete submission or a high degree of trust to stop them. This is because there is a large downside risk to stopping prematurely.

By way of analogy, if you are in a fist fight and stop before you know the opponent is down, you may be knocked out yourself

My problem with this approach is the same one raised by Dijkstra against the goto statement. These update actions are too unrestricted and don't offer any way to analyze the program's progress systematically, based on the program source code.
I have little doubt that movie dialogues have gotten more difficult to understand. My viewing has spanned films from the silent era wirh subtitles through to the present so I've a wide range to compare.

It's big topic and too complex to discuss in detail so it's best to illustrate with examples.

A decade or two ago the local national broadcaster used to show old movies from the 1930s or so on the midnight/dawn graveyard shift and often I'd be working at that time. I'd have the TV running and listen primarily to the sound with an occasional glance at the screen and I could easily follow the movie with little effort. Some of the easiest films to follow were English ones such as those that came from Gainsborough Pictures and so on.

Now to the present, I like the raw, rough and profane Canadian sitcom Letterkenny which is about the lives of people in a small Canadian farm town of 5000 people. (Right, this is television but the trend is the same as movies.) The trouble is its dialogue is so fast and punctuated with interruptions, asides, innuendo and oblique references and in-jokes (that are only partly stated because the characters already know them) that I have to record the show and view it several times to get its full impact. I've even turned subtitles on to help but they flash past so quickly that they hardly help especially so when many people are talking at once (they're almost too fast to read). Even when one becomes familiar with the voices of the characters I doubt if most people would have much hope of fully comprehending the action without the vision.

Letterkenny is new and very cleaver television but it's miles and miles away from the nice well-ordered dialogues of those old 1930s movies.

__

Edit: I don't want to give the impression that I can't follow the dialogue or understand the references as I usually can. It's not intrinsic understanding that's the problem, rather the issue is the type of presentation, essentially Letterkenny's dialogues which are usually both disjointed and multithreaded whereas oldstyle presentation was more ordered, linear and presented in serial fashion. The differences are thus vast.
They are nowhere near zero net, and the actual recycling isn't the issue.

To see the problem, go to your recycle bin, and grab all the plastic. Now, sort them by recycling code, then remove all the stuck on food for things with low-ish numbers. (High numbered stuff isn’t actually recycled anywhere.)

Now, remove all the labels, lid tamper rings, etc.

Now do that for 1 ton of plastic waste.

Edit: actually, 1 ton is a lot more than I realized. 55lbs of ABS plastic costs $363. Start with that much, then figure out how to sort the plastic at a profit.

The encryption used by e.g. IBM tape drives is two layered - strong/slow and weak/fast. The Asymmetric key encryption used is the "strong" encryption, but it's far too slow to be used to encrypt the whole tape. So IBM encrypts the tape data with the weak/fast symmetric algorithm and then encrypts the key for that with the strong/slow asymmetric one.

If you compress the symmetrically encrypted data, you will indeed gain some capacity. Not as much as you would compressing the raw data, but a visible amount, because the symmetric algorithm doesn't have the property of indistinguishability.

That property is not needed for tape storage because anyone who has the tape can safely assume it contains a ciphertext. The tape has header information saying whether it's encrypted or not.

If you read the links you posted, you will find out that it's not "most" cryptosystems, it's some. Some applications just don't need indistinguishability and LTO Tapes are one of them.

All that said, IBM does compress first then encrypt to make the most of the data compression, but the resulting ciphertext isn't completely random.
I like jq, but jj is so fast it is my go-to for pretty printing large json blobs. Its parsing engine is available as a standalone go module, and I've used it in a few projects where I needed faster parsing than encoding/json:

Ask HN: Why is there a cloud pricing premium in APAC vs. US or EU?
This has bugged me for years now, but are there simple reasons for why they're slightly more expensive in APAC besides not having as much cloud competition? Or is it skewed due to the higher costs of running it out of Singapore where utilities are just as expensive? Doesn't explain the Jakarta instance pricing though.

For example, have a look at AWS EC2 pricing here:
https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/on-demand

Azure:
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/calculator/

Google Cloud:
https://cloud.google.com/compute/all-pricing

fly.io:
https://fly.io/docs/about/pricing/#outbound-data-transfer

Neon:
https://neon.tech/pricing

Or am I just completely wrong where cloud pricing in certain regions are still based more on value-added pricing due to smaller / later cloud adoption?

- FWIW, Neon is also built on top of AWS, so AWS definitely a contributing variable to their pricing.

"Load HTML from a URL and replace part of the page with it" is a powerful technique for progressive enhancement, even if you don't want to use a framework like this.

Almost there. Come on, just a bit further.
The TV series was pretty good, from what I can recall – been a very long time since I watched it though.
I'd expect the various bearings to seize if left unused for long enough.
To be fair, on a date anything that makes me look handsomer is fair game. If it makes me look richer that's a bonus. If it signals to my date that I think she's worth some effort to look nice for, then that's probably a good thing.

If wearing a suit gets me more sales, then I'm fine with that too. I like getting paid.

Conversely I don't need a fancy car, or clothes, to signal success. I don't drive far. A little sporty hatchback works for me. I wear shorts and sandals to work most days (long pants and shoes if a client is coming to visit.)

I've never penalised a candidate for overdressing. If you under-dress though you better have lots of substance underneath.

So sure, dressing well compensates for something. But new grads etc NEED to compensate for experience. You may as well show -some- effort.
I view it more as server-side first modern app development. If you have a Django app for example htmx is a fast and easy way to make it feel fluid and dynamic like a modern SPA, but still using all your server generated Django logic, templating, etc.

It's hard to remember after 13 years, but for example if someone made a purchase and redeemed it, or checked the status of their subscription.
Actually, it's not that simple. Read my response above.

You can't really say indistinguishability makes one cryptosystem better than another because it prevents distinguishing attacks because for some applications it's both not needed and computationally expensive.
> I don't think people realize the life-saving potential in solving this problem.

People do realize it. Especially people who specialize in building safety critical systems.

And they are all aware that Tesla's doesn't do anything to build actually safety-critical systems. They just treat it as building a webapp for sharing photos of cats.
