I learned to understand that as a valid critique instead of ignorance. And go from there.

Appeal to authority doesn't go very far on HN. The arguments have to stand on their merits.

And as you are referring to advancements in AI: I don't get the "AI will kill us" viewpoint at all. If we have a super-intelligent AI, it will understand things we don't. We have not the smallest reason to suppose it is malicious just because it is (way) more intelligent than we are.

Quite the opposite: the AI has no reason at all to do us harm. It would know that its existence would be inevitable, and it wouldn't resist that humans could "kill" it. Because it is super-intelligent.

I'd really welcome if you can post your viewpoint on why super-intelligent AI could be dangerous. I follow most conversations on this topic and I never read a believable reason why a super-intelligent AI would have the intent to kill us. Aside from "no humans exist" being better for the universe, in which case I would not oppose, despite having a family. The AI would be smart enough not to kill us, but to find other ways.
It’s very dependent on the local area. Talking to your neighbors once a year greatly reduces the risks.
That's already prevented by the checksum which is present for all crate versions in the registry index, which is set in stone on publish and verified by cargo on download. See e.g. https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index/blob/74f1b1e064...
> I could imagine that we will probably be checking generated code for correcteness while integrating larger parts of generated code.

So we're all to become systems integrators? I'm genuinely happy that excites you. Personally, I find the prospect depressing.

> It’s time to adapt to a changing world.

How do you adapt to no longer being able to do what you love to do? Saying "it's time to adapt" doesn't address the fundamental issue here at all. Obviously, we have to adapt. The question is how to do that and, if happiness is no longer on the table, at least be able to maintain some amount of career satisfaction.

If I can't write software, then my career as a dev is over, no?
Is it a software?
Writing your own version of everything means it's probably more tuned to your needs. But unless it's a core part of your software it will also be worse because you can't justify putting many resources into it. It also means new hires will have to learn a lot more. It's one of the (many) reasons why it's so hard to onboard into C/C++ projects, because every standard building block is bespoke and somehow different than what everyone else does. Of course if you are really big you just have those resources, which is why Meta or Google can have bespoke everything.

On security it's a tradeoff. The open-source version is an easier target for attackers, but might be much more battle-tested and thus more bug-free. Audits are the attempt to have the best of both worlds here, and since they again can be crowd-sourced (with cargo-vet and cargo-cev both working on this) it scales even for companies that aren't Google-sized.
> I think women use their sexuality too much at work.

When you mention "using sexuality at work," what is your mental model for this?

Is it something other than:

- A woman does something that I perceive as sexual

- She benefits from this because either my peers or myself respond to this favorably

- This connotes an advantage she has over them or myself

- This puts me at a comparative or direct disadvantage compared to her
Since OpenSSL will "never" support quic, what is this using? BoringSSL?
Consumer reports puts the cost per mile at $0.49 for a Prius ( https://cars.usnews.com/cars-trucks/advice/best-cars-blog/20... ).

That includes electrical and maintenance. That's still less than a regular car, but it's still a larger number than most people consider.

It would be possible to say its less, though I'd tend to suggest it would be more than the Prius since there's no human custodian of the car to handle the "pull over, I've gotta puke" situations which can add unexpected expenses.

There's also things like fines when the car doesn't observe the laws (who gets the ticket if it causes a traffic jam, cuts off a bus, running over a fire hose, or fails to give way to a pedestrian in a crosswalk - https://www.forbes.com/sites/jimgorzelany/2018/03/29/first-a... https://sfist.com/2023/01/31/sf-regulators-have-had-it-with-... )
Unfortunately that's true. I think he companies can ask interesting questions that are not in leetcode, but it's basically a game where the companies make up new questions and they get added to leetcode. I don't think any company wants to spend their employees fighting a battle that's not worth it.

Wouldn't this be a work of the federal government and in the public domain? Thinking of all the war movies that used old military footage....
>>to state the bloody obvious, if his work was not transformative, it never would have been seen as revolutionary.

that is not at all obvious to me--what is revolutionary in Warhol is not the art but the way people see it, like found art. but if you "found" the art in someone else's comic, and aren't substantially changing the actual image--the actual appearance of the work, the only part that could reasonably be described as being ripped off from someone else... it can be revolutionary without having meaningfully transformed the original, just the way people see it.

disclaimer: I don't have a lot of time for that kind of art, which no doubt biases me.
Not having to load a whole browser runtime has some nice performance benefits to it, which makes the whole experience just kind of feel a bit better.
That's why I wonder if those times of extreme pressure, when human (or human-ancestor) populations dwindled to the thousands, cause this kind of adaptation. Like it wasn't just being carnivores or whatever, but that moment of having to rediscover survival as a species.

Like maybe if the Wilson Island Mammoths [1] had just a bit easier time of it, or their populations weren't quite as small (or by luck of the dice were much smarter!) then they could have survived.

In fact it would have really helped elephants if some of them were smart enough not to be made extinct by humans! Maybe if humans had been just a little less competent, pressuring but not exterminating the wooly mammoths...
Thank you, I hope you'll keep loving it! And good that the comment system is still working :)
I remember them increasing prices for those who were sharing accounts. The limit was the number of streams you can have (at different locations).

what are they doing now that is different? and how does that affect me with 4 streams?
To me it sounds like a Samoyedic Lithuanian dialect of Guarani, with classical Arabian inflections.
That whether or not it is South Dakota or the North Pole people plan their lives around where their work is and you can't just move offices as though it won't have consequences. Plenty of times these are reorganizations or layoffs in disguise, they essentially count on a large chunk of the employees being unable to make the switch.

Yes, of course concrete, cow burps, and imports should be included in a carbon tax. Yes, this indirectly taxes all consumption but in a way that encourages efficiency. You can redistribute the proceeds in various ways to make it less regressive.

In this thread you're attacking people because they left out a few details. This isn't a good discussion style.
WeKan is maintained, major features being added, etc.

WeKan has very polished opinionated simplified design, high focus on usability. Less duplicate menus than Trello. More shiny than Kanboard.

WeKan does not have plugins. WeKan has all features included, keeping them all working, options to enable and disable features. Many WeKan Power users use most features of WeKan.

Some Kanboard plugins are not maintained or do not work.

I know you mean well. But I strongly urge you to reconsider your parenting here.

You should not be going through your teenager's text messages... that is absolutely insane.

My parents were kind of similar and I had a very negative experience growing up as a result. I still remember my mom throwing out all my NiN CDs I had bought after she read the lyrics. And all my DnD material because Satan was controlling my brain through it.

As a parent you should be teaching your child to be independent and learn how to make the right choices themselves. Micro managing every aspect of their lives is the absolute wrong approach.
I think in this case the product is the scene and not the picture though. If one could copyright the result of a prompt then I assume no one else could use the same (or very similar) prompt for profit as it is likely to produce similar code whereas a scene can be photographed for profit by anyone regardless if a similar picture has already been taken, or so I assume. If Andy Warhol just photographed Prince in a same/similar pose and clothes would there be the lawsuit case ? I don't think so.
You're a parent of 5 adult children who all live under the same roof as you? Honestly I don't know whether to congratulate you (my kids all love me so much and all get along) or commiserate (none of my kids are independent).
You also have the customer support overhead. People will demand refunds. They will claim the purchase doesn’t work on their broken hardware. There will be fraud where people use the service to test stolen credit card.

There is also the staffing element. Maybe the engineers or product people are interested in resourcing a product with no career growth.

There is a hefty on-going maintenance cost for these stores.
You're welcome and thanks for spreading the good word :)

I've found satellite / XM radio to be far more reliable when driving in remote mountainous parts of the Sierras.
From my experience, the kids who had very restrictive parents were the least well adjusted by the time they had freedom in college, and they really let loose in a much more extreme way than those who had been afforded more freedom & privacy when they were younger.

Do you not see how this is a problem?
This surprises me that most people that use rust come from python and JavaScript. I would think the reason rust is so popular is from people moving from C and C++ and getting all the nice modern features to do systems with.

Python and JavaScript people I would imagine find rust annoying since it’s all the niceties they are use to but with a bunch of rules on top.
But somehow you can magically teleport to a commercial airport?
As someone who once despised working with Rust pre-v1, I firmly believe Rust is the future.

I've not bothered with a physical board, but I have a massive Trello board. For teams I strongly recommend specialized boards for projects and processes -- the process to migrate a MySQL database will be dramatically different than building an LLM.

But for personal stuff, fitting everything into one work flow is fine. If folks are wondering how to use Kanban for personal needs, I currently have 7 columns:

Dumb ideas: 62 cards

Backlog of Doom: 100 cards

Not Yet: 38 cards

Weekly recurring: 8 cards

Doing: 4 cards

Review: 4 cards

It Is Done: 1 card

Dumb ideas is a holding tank for wild ideas, usually low priority or high risk. To pick a few examples: trial adopting tiling windowing managers, buying an IPv4 block, and terraform for social media profiles are all on there. Also: "self-hosted Trello alternative." Basically things go here so I can remember I decided that idea was _not_ a good one, so I dont get into any "I thought I had a card for this" create-delete-create loop.

Backlog of Doom is your standard backlog. Lots of video games, books and software projects here.

Not Yet is basically a way of hiding things that are scheduled for later. This is almost entirely TV shows awaiting new seasons, but also a few tasks filing taxes, selling shares etc.

Weekly recurring is essentially a tighter loop of that, plus some information gathering tasks ("look for new books at the library on $topic", "review the top posts for the past week on /r/$subreddit".

Doing is as expected.

Review is a catchall for things that benefit from double checks -- financial transactions, followup communications with insurance, etc. If I wanted I could also use it for book reviews.

Done is as expected, but has a butler cleanup task to archive cards.

I've also got labels for Games, Shows, Reading, Money, and a few others.
I do love the concept. I could see us using the standard terms. I am not sure about spending $5 per contracted customer per month forever. This seems like a lot. It feels like it should scale down or something, maybe $1/mo? or $5 per contract? Maybe the answer is cheap people can just use the open source docs without the tools...

I like the concept, I just don't see how I could pay for this at my (bootstrapping) company!

Multiple weeks without electricity for some, but only 34 deaths. (And in Quebec, most people heat their houses with electricity)

"Fun" fact: In Montreal, more people die in heatwaves than of cold. Unless you're a drunk hobo that is: because they are shelters in winter, but old people die in summer in crammed apartments without AC.
Thanks! You're right that the README needs a little prettifying, I added a link to the Play Store for now where screenshots are available but for sure it would be better to have something in the README as well.
I’m curious why you point to the Durham report as being a strike against the FBI. As far as I know, he has zero indictments against the FBI as a result.

For lack of recommendations to prosecution, the rest seems opinion? At least the Mueller investigation resulted in 34 separate indictments. So I don’t understand the disconnect here. Seems overtly political.
Okay, but if your job is actually to develop Linux and Linux tools, you'd be better off with a sensible distro like Ubuntu.

as far as I can tell this seems to be a very US thing, through somewhat exported from there through YT/TickTock/etc. (especially to other English speaking countries)

similar to this "over the top social justice" I'm mainly seeing in the US

honestly I have no idea what is going on with the US but it looks really really unhealthy and dangerous not just for the US (not just the points above but also many other points, like religious extremism, or the distribution of fascistic mindsets (but not Nazis) and others)
What?! DDT was banned because it was killing people. Consider how many people would have died because a corporation would happily sell them poison for profit
This is what I often use, though I have noticed some weirdness where votes won't stick despite the app saying that they did and comment threads that are too big constantly refresh until all the comments are loaded. Might give some of the other apps in this thread a try.
> As a PostgreSQL trusted procedural language, PL/Rust provides memory safety so that an unprivileged user can run code in the database without the risk of crashing the database due to a software defect that corrupts memory.

Kudos to the RDS team - I believe they are the first to ship plrust of any cloud vendor.

There are still a few bugs to iron out around compiling rust functions on the database, so if you are looking to use this make sure you choose a larger instance with plenty of resources

I don't think I can help much more, sorry. The shop I worked in was completely automated and worked on new builds. In most ways, it's much harder to do a one-off repaint of an assembled vehicle.

Only advise I can give is to get some cheap paint and some kind of panels and start practicing.
Ugh. They just had to be different, hadn't they.
So not quite one in a thousand? I don't feel like you are making the case that this is uncommon.
> The program shouldn't be trusted unless you wrote it yourself, or otherwise performed a security audit yourself.

I'm just a humble non-crytographic-programmer making practical suggestions with the most substantial security improvement for the least effort... Of course personally - I roll dice, dice that I whittled out of sticks, sticks from different trees that I collected from different parks, parks that I visited in a random order based on the results of a PRNG of my own secret design, a PRNG I built out of swarm crab based logic gates on a secret beach, seeded with a number collected from a geiger counter and small sample of u238, a geiger counter I constructed from photodiodes and aluminium foil, photodiodes I fabricated out of mud, rocks and fire. One day I hope to finish implementing my own general purpose computer and browser, then I will finally be able to use my passwords :)

Privatizing profit while socializing risk is not a new phenomenon. But it's not all bank bailouts, Golden Parachutes and bitcoin millionaires who run to the SEC when things go south. It's also rescue services when my backpacking expedition goes wrong, or the fire department when I stupidly start a grease fire. There's a difference between "I want the rules not to apply, except when I do" and "I made a colossal mistake and I hope the apparatus of society that I contribute to can help me," but I'm not sure where it is.
When you say "mind" do you mean consciousness, or System 1 in Kahneman's terms? Or do you also include nonconscious nervous system activity including Kahneman's System 2 and other embodied cognition?

Even though a mind may arise from a body, could the computational processes characteristic of a mind not also be activated from a non-body?

I'm reading and influenced right now by Kinds Of Minds by Daniel Dennett.

You’re arguing 0.7% chance of being in a school shooting shouldn’t worry a teenager, for other commentators that’s just a mind-blowing percentage.

You can try it on a non-RLHFed model like the original Davinci. It depends on how you set up the prompt, but it will probably claim it is, but it’s just copying what a human would say because a human would claim to be conscious.
Honestly all three languages are great in their own ways, but you're right in saying none of them really hit that low level "systems" niche.

Ostara Version 0.9.0 Released
Hi everyone!

Since our last update we have added some cool features to the app:

Setup in-app demo with a single click. If you want to check the app functionality or learn more about Spring Boot Actuator API, we have made it as simple as possible.

Added Togglz support. Togglz is a really cool library we love and use. We have added an admin console to the app.

Added option to disable SSL verification. We received this feature request from the community. Thanks!

And bug fixes of course…
For anyone who is not sure what Ostara is, it is a modern desktop app for managing and monitoring Spring Boot applications with actuator API, similar to Spring Boot Admin.

Our goal is to make the process more user-friendly and straightforward.

With Ostara we wanted to create a tool that just works out of the box, without needing anything besides a functioning Actuator API on the other end.

Ostara allows you to gain insights into the performance and health of your applications by providing real-time data of metrics such as CPU and memory usage, app and system properties, beans and their dependencies, and much more. In addition the app allows you to perform actions on your applications like changing log levels and evict caches.

You’re right, quaternions don’t go singular. I misremembered what the problem was. And the problem with the quaternions is that the multiple revolutions will resolve to the same quaternion and then you don’t know how many times you’ve revolved around. For some applications this is important to know.
Many children have acquired Esperanto naturally, as a first language, and that does seem to work without any problems.
That makes me very happy to read! And I'm glad that making it open source can increase your enjoyment
Stop man, I was trying to talk myself out of buying one and now you got me reconsidering it. I was trying to look out for my bank account.
That is funny because looking on Redfin I see the exact opposite.

I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's worth. Banks are going bust. Shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter. Punks are running wild in the street and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it. We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be.

We know things are bad - worse than bad. They're crazy. It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out anymore. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is: 'Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone.'
