ok, I will bite for this one.

As someone enjoying a vegan lifestyle, I am living proof that humans do not need to eat other animals. Also if we would stop the cruel practice of factory farming, it’s common knowledge that we would have more calories available for us humans. In terms of sustenance, we are going out of our way to hurt humans and other animals to uphold the entrenched consumption patterns of a select few.

I think for AI overlords the question will be quite similar… how should we use the resources which we have available? Who is worthy of consideration and who is not? At the moment, we are truly not making a great case for keeping us around because anything we can do, they can do better. So why keep us around if not for some ethical insight?

When you stare into your phone, your phone stares back at you.
I tried the same code with clang instead of tcc.

Compilation time is 700-800ms.
Run time is about half as tcc, compiled with -O3 (45-55ms)

They had two selections of batteries and a specific real world route. That doesn’t sound like cherry picking, that sounds like basically how things work for most trucking. Long haul trucking is more visible but most trucking is moving goods along a short to medium length established route. Most EV have at least two battery configurations as options.

LiveView goes far beyond what htmx offers. Or at least makes it much more fully integrated across the whole stack.

htmx is a frontend library first and foremost, that dictates some patterns you may want to implement on the backend. LiveView is a backend-first framework, with excellent support for interactive frontend stuff.

> computationally expensive type checking

So, an hour's worth of compilation time = 3600 seconds, divided by a million elements, that's 3.6 ms, or about 10 million instructions per element. Just what in the heck is this compiler doing with 10 million instructions on an integer literal? Like, it's never seen integer literals before? And they're all integers. Every element. It's not a "pathological edge case". The whole thread is absurd. People are speaking up and blaming programmers, the language, the type system, when this is so obviously the compiler's fault.
Legality of GitHub Copilot
It’s remarkable that the FISA court has been allowed to continue. Hopefully with evidence that it’s being routinely abused someone will having the standing and resources to get the real court to restore some security to the people (ironically, what these agencies are supposed to be protecting).
What's up is that Firefox is not an open source project (the source is open, the project is not) and Mozilla is an advertisement company. The ad slot is the default search engine and you are the product being sold to Google. This is how advertisement companies behave. They don't care about you. They collect all the data they can, legally or not.
Ideally the law provides equal protections and rights to everyone. International law is much further from this ideal than US National law, and many people are surprised to learn details about international law.

Thanks for asking. I mean, my brain is just a machine, and eventually we'll make machines that can do everything brains can (even if it's just by scanning human brains). And once we build one that's about as capable as me, we can easily copy it.
I am worried and thus want to be proven wrong.
However, I've yet to hear a good argument as to why it would unfold differently.
Why do you think we will be able to collaborate and achieve UBI or something like that, why would those at the top care for those below them, or rather why would the AGI care about us unless we achieve alignment which is said to take at least another 50 years, also we're assuming that everyone has the best interests of humanity in mind. How can you prevent other countries trying to do catch up from developing their own AI's that have no limits set on them? I want to be wrong, but I am worried that things will go off in the wrong direction. Also AI is being trained on human data, it would be awkward if it were to behave differently or come to a different kind of solutions than we do. And lastly:

>Humans are the APEX predator of earth right now and if something else takes over that, then thats just evolution and nature.

For in-rack, DAC/Twinax is just copper and good for 400G, and cheaper than separate optics and fiber.
Automation has increased income inequality for the past few decades, and is likely to continue to do so as more tech jobs and service jobs are automated in addition to office jobs and manufacturing jobs.

> In a way it's actually a bit dystopian that the "everyone will be put out of work" predictions never come true, because it means we never get that promised age of leisure.

It's disappointing that the economy seems to be structured in such a way for most people "leisure" is equivalent to "unemployment." It probably doesn't help that increases in housing, health care, and higher education costs have outpaced inflation for decades, or that wages have stagnated (partially due to an increase in benefit costs such as health insurance.)
While I'm sure Hayek was correct in his time, I wonder if it would now be possible to construct a better way to allocate resources than the price mechanism. Every person now has a device in their pocket with which to instantly communicate their needs, and we have the computing power to calculate at a scale that was unimaginable to Hayek. The price mechanism seems like a slow way to transfer information, and produces (possibly unwanted) side effects like wealth concentration.
Do you have a point to make? Come out and say it.
None of those (JSON, SQLite, CSV) are remotely appropriate for addressing HDF5's niche of storing large blocks of numbers in a manner that can approach their native space / perf characteristics.
those are contradictory statements. all student loans are eventually payed back. giving a zero-risk loan that is guaranteed to be payed back, with no chance of losing the money, and 100% chance of making money via interest is not a mistake for a bank. the only person failing is the one who destroys their life by taking the loan.
since you like throwing out an unfounded "stupid" unlike my "founded stupid," let me also let you know about how loans work, since you don't, but are opinionated on the subject on which you lack knowledge. Only about 10k/year is a direct loan to the student. The rest need a cosigner who passes a credit check.

not everyone is allowed to fail. the banks for example are not. it appears people who failed basic civics were also allowed to pass high school.
Full disclosure: I am biased because my mother is an expert in Buteyko breathing and myofunctional therapy and runs a practice called HappyMyo.

This stuff is something I ALWAYS wrote off as hokey garbage, until I tried it. Training the breathing (and the musculature of the face, not mentioned much in the article) completely got rid of my snoring. I have heard of other testimonials from athletes of improved performance as well. If you have one of the conditions that Buteyko/myofunctional therapy can help, I highly recommend you research it before surgery, assuming it's relatively benign.
So long as we persist with the ridiculous idea of "independent" executive departments, we will have out-of-control bureaucracies and agencies with toothless congressional oversight and impunity versus the president. The president either has control of executive departments or does not. The presidency is the most direct path to voter accountability for executive departments (by design), because we all know Congress slow-walks and sandbags accountability until it ceases to be a campaign concern.

C# named arguments don't have anything to do with COM dynamic support, learn about what you are actually talking about.

Swift slow compilation time doesn't have anything to do with named arguments, on top of that, contrary to Rust, has a stable ABI and support for native libraries, no need to compile the world from scratch as it happens with Rust. Again nothing to do with named arguments.

>or if it would even be possible to integrate something like this into a smartphone in 20 years.

I am going to answer this as probably not.

If you assume we still get 2X density improvement every 2 years ( which we dont ) and the density shrink applies to every type of logic and SRAM ( which we dont ) and we dont slow down the pace for 20 years ( which we dont as we are already slowing ) and we dont hit any heat limitation ( which we do ) and we dont hit any other fundamental limit of law of physics ( which we will, and get quantum tunnel effect ) etc etc

There are 24 Racks of Computer there. Even if you ignore the I/O and Power. There are 16 Racks of Raw computing. Over 20 years, 10 iteration, you get 1024x increase in density.

16 Racks, or 640U Server, you get 0.625 U by 2043. Half a Server, hardly the size of Smartphone.

Everytime LiveView or Phoenix pops up here in HN, people always mentions how much they enjoy the framework. It feels to me like it's something I am missing out on?

I see where you're coming from and I hear you - it seems a profoundly unsatisfactory state of affairs!

That said, he's not a dictator just because we don't like the result.

There was an election, Erdogan won it.

We can say 'he controlled the media' - maybe true - but that accusation could easily be levelled at democracies everywhere. The reality is democratic systems are flawed, like any system of human design. We cannot abstract democracy into a standard which can never be achieved. He is the democratically elected leader of Turkey, in Turkey-style democratic system. We can argue about how bad a leader he is as a separate matter!
The idea elected politicians want a cashless society is utterly absurd to me.

It misses the obvious fact that an elected politician needs the privacy of cash for taking bribes.

A cashless society can only work in an authoritarian regime that simply doesn't care if the populace knows about bribes or not.
The fundamental problem, I think, is that software is by definition a way to create abstractions. And there are way too many incentives to complicate these abstractions. And on top of that, these complications have inertia. Once people learn they can gain prestige, job security and self importance by learning and multiplying abstractions, you have a runway process.

Complex systems evolve by brute forcing their problem space during a boom and pruning the non-viable inroads during a bust. That means a lot of agents will be stuck building dead-ends only to get wiped at some point. That's why meta cognition is so important. We are not blind agents, we are a complex system ourselves. We are capable of internalizing giant swats of symbolic representations of system archetypes. We are capable of teleological behavior. Do it people. You can learn computer science and preempt a life of being mired by abstractions that won't lead anywhere.

Sadly greed lead us astray too often.
At this point the 24 hour news cycle, and media organizations incentivized to push a continual stream of fear into the public psyche seems like a more immediate concern.
Your comment is giving early 2010s hipster “you probably never heard of it” vibes.
The second you grant government agents rights and privileges not given to the general population, and then on top of that provide them immunity from just about all accountability both systemic, and individual you have the makings of Tyranny...

As the saying goes, the road to hell is paved with good intentions, and we have had plenty of "good intentions" granting both federal and local police ever increasing power, and ever decreasing accountability.

I recommend Robert Miles's YouTube channel, and his "Intro to AI Safety, Remastered" is a good place to start:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYXy-A4siMw

I find Robert Miles worryingly plausible when he says (about 12:40 into the video) "if you have a sufficiently powerful agent and you manage to come up with a really good objective function, which covers the top 20 things that humans value, the 21st thing that humans value is probably gone forever"
Do you expect everything that existed in the 90s to be "complete" or just VR?

There is also the question of using supplemental oxygen. Which I guess is the equivalent of running a marathon without stopping for liquids or gels.
Love the idea of factories in space. We need to separate the human from the supply chain interaction with raw and noxious materials and if we can do that in space we absolutely can terrestrially.
>> perfect illustration of the democratic system, we are appalled about crudeness of the demonstration rather than the inaccuracy of it

> "...illustration of the [FAILURE] of the democratic system" i would add. handing out cash at polling stations isn't part of a strong, well functioning democracy.

You're both right. Liberal democracy fails without the right non-liberal ideological supports. Pure liberal democracy, in isolation, turns into a tyranny of the majority handing out cash and other benefits to its supporters.
Great news for another new $1TN dollar company, however in [0]

"Market cap stories (and price fluctuation stories generally) mostly aren't substantive enough to make interesting HN threads. They just turn into generic discussions about the underlying company or currency or whatever, and those are too repetitive to be interesting."

This one is no exception, with such threads should also apply to this one. Just like it did with Tesla and Facebook about them reaching $1TN. Right?

It is essentially a 'horse race story'.

At this point, I think it's obvious that concern about AI existential risk isn't a position reserved for industry shills and ignorant idiots.

I mean... that's not even debatable. Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio aren't financially motivated to talk about AI x-risk and aren't ignorant idiots. In fact, they both have natural reasons to not talk about AI x-risk.

"Fun" fact: both South Korea and North Korea plan on being the first to strike the other in case of a war. I'm sure you can see how that would make them more prone to take the risk.

It's also not enough to have ICBMs, they have already credibly tested those years ago, they want so many ICBMs that the US feels threatened by it (this is what deterrence means in practice), but not so many the US decides it has to do anything about it.
Show HN: WeatherRelay, our IoT dual-band weather sensor receiver
If you are interested in ISM weather sensor technology, here's a device we're developing. It currently receives and interprets sensor data from about 40 sensors from La Crosse, Ambient Weather and Ecowitt.

There's a desktop 'toy' that lets you monitor sensor values (temp/humidity/rain/wind/hydro) continuously.

https://iowa-maker.com/blog/

Looking to make a first run of the board/enclosure and thinking how to fund it. Kickstarter? VC money? Angel funding?

Could be useful to a variety of folk - weather hobbyists, folks concerned with monitoring temperature (cold-storage companies etc). Concerned with basement flooding - supports a moisture/water sensor!
I think if you were referring to AI in its 'current form' all along, then most people will probably agree with you, myself included. But 20 years from now? I personally think it would be arrogant to dismiss the potential dangers.

Not globally: https://kagi.com/proxy/th?c=lUfv1nYBTMKYtKYO-rQ4Vg_QAA9uQJ07...

Outsourcing has stagnated wages in the developed world, but the cost of manufactured goods has also plummeted. The only reason people aren't better off is that the developed world (especially the anglosphere) has a "cost disease" around things like real estate that prevents people from benefiting from global scale price deflation. It doesn't help you much if gadgets are super cheap but housing is insanely expensive. The high cost of housing is unrelated to automation.
The sand is going down. Each tick one bit of sand falls from the top left to the bottom of that valley. Over many ticks the sand from the top accumulates up the side of the valley, from over the "cliff". The strange bit is the pieces teleport in one tick one at a time. No matter how you do it you'll end up with some sort of tradeoff like that when using pixel grids instead of particles.
Ah, this was something like ten years ago, so it seems likely that I'm misremembering. Thanks for the correction!
I don't understand your metrics. What could be a better metric for gauging how diverse groups feel about living somewhere than looking at where those groups actually live? Certainly not abortion rights, mass shootings or energy grid metrics. Your implication that immigrants willing to change countries are unwilling to change states seems like a very weak argument as well.
