A fair correction. I was only aware of the essay; I tend to avoid watching videos whenever possible.

Notably, most of the other ideas in that video are also improbable: drone-delivery is not as easy as it sounds; multilateralism is hard; organ printing is extremely unlikely (growing in a vat has been pursued for decades but is still nascent); the displacement of the whole population of Africa seems more than a little hyperbolic; the widespread implementation of carbon taxes doesn't feel any closer (sadly); we are nowhere near sending humans to Mars or supporting long-term space residents; meat alternatives have yet to reach market acceptance (or meat-equivalent RPER). But one part is true: Western governments are feeling quite unstable lately.
Notice how I opened with "And/or".
I'm more surprised that reddit has maintained features like old.reddit.com and their API for this long. To me, this is textbook enshittification. Either die unprofitable or live long enough to see yourself rip features from TikTok.

>Backside PDN is a part of TSMC's N2P fabrication technology that will enter HVM in late 2026 or early 2027.

This is slightly later than expected. And will actually be a full node behind N2. If we were to expect N2 to ship in 2H 2025. Entering HVM in early 2027 we are talking about product shipment in 2H 2027 already depending on launch volume.

Will be interesting to see how well Intel execute on their IFS. Right now things seems to be doing great, but that is mostly because they are still in the catch up stage.
It's never going to be a guarantee, but it's also implemented very shittily at present. There's a difference between what peer review is and what it should be. It makes sense to look at it realistically in day to day practice, but in discussion of systemic problems it should be viewed in a different light.
Unpopular opinion. Prisons Should really have at least twice as many occupants. If people are unable to live in a polite society and follow the rules they should be removed until they are willing to.

How many times do we read about someone that killed/ raped/ assaulted someone and it's revealed they have dozens of prior arrests?

Putting them back on the street constantly can only lead to their death or crimes against innocents.

What has happened to crime and specifically the homicide rate since police were demonized? 28% increase in 2020 over 2019. A record increase. This is what happens when you remove police.

No one should have to live in fear when getting on the train or walking down the street. Or have to constantly repair their property due to a smash and grab. Remove these people and house them somewhere they can no longer cause harm.
Google seems to refuse removing because, according to them, "Whole-site removal is ineffective and can easily result in censorship of lawful material."

Instead of removing, they just remove links by request.

A lot of developing countries are in a phase of working out their future paths. Most of them inherited colonial institutions and power structures and are finally hitting a point where all the old guard has died or become irrelevant.

There’s a period of negotiation - figuring out what parts of your colonial history you want to keep, what to change. So many things we assume as “normal” invariably have roots in colonial past. Current systems of Democracy, strict courts of law, scientific education, while great, were introduced by earlier colonial rulers.

Most countries will now spend a few decades fumbling around in internal negotiations to figure out whether they really need 14 years of scientific schooling, democracy, etc.
> 10 years ago you could still find people that haven't had their car windows smashed.

10 years ago, everyone I knew had had their car windows smashed. I’m not sure this is true.
I'm in the East Bay where the voters elected a repeat of Chesa Boudin, incarnated in Pamela Price. I must say that while I respect the counter-intuitive idea that a fresh "progressive" means of justice might solve the problem at the root, I really question the idea of leniency and non-enforcement of justice. I'm open to imaginative and counter-intuitive approaches, but I'm just not seeing this work out well.

It appears that the strategy is to avoid enforcing or prosecuting minor crimes and letting people go with little consequences. But if I think about how this would work out, if I raised my kids like this, I quickly conclude that my kids would become awful people.

Say that your kid does minor stuff like lying, swearing, refusing to apologize, breaking things on purpose. And you decide "I won't discipline my kid, because this isn't serious enough". It's pretty obvious that the kid is going to turn bad, since there's a missing feedback mechanism. They test the boundaries, and the boundaries are way far into unacceptable territory. Many would say you do a great disservice to your kid in not teaching them what is acceptable and what isn't, and letting them go feral without any notion that the minor stuff is also not acceptable.

Now you might say that the justice system isn't a parent and residents aren't kids. But I think actually the analogy is appropriate. Our society needs to educate and shape public behavior to maintain harmony and fairness for all. To some extent, where parents have a duty to educate their kids, the government has a mandate to educate and police civil society. And yet the county is apparently shying away from fulfilling their role of educator and enforcer. Where's the feedback mechanism? It seems to me that the component of civility education is lacking in the general public, but we can't make up for this by relaxing the rules of society.

Applying this entire "vibe" to myself: why should I respect speed limits, stop signs, or any "minor" thing when I know it goes unenforced. I was told my entire life that "driving is a privilege, not a right" and yet people drive with expired plates, or no plate at all, and nothing gets done about it on the basis that the needy would be worse off without their cars.
China Is Drilling a 10,000-Meter-Deep Hole Into Earth’s Crust
LOL. Me and my friends designed a two stage rocket, and of course we insisted that our first attempt use "D" size engines. The first stage took the rocket up about 75-100 ft and when the second stage lit off, the rocket somehow kicked over and was flying perfectly horizontal.

The problem was, we were launching from the bottom of a retention basin at the local park district so we started out at -40 ft altitude. This meant the rocket went zooming across the neighborhood only slightly above tree top level.
Garbage collected "modern" language that builds native binaries? There is very little that can compete with that. I don't really like Go, but if I ever need to write a binary I will reach for it, because I don't really want to do manual memory management (even the rust type). My needs are rarely that performance oriented.
One of Ben Horowitz's books spends some time arguing that they set up Andreeson Horowitz in San Francisco specifically because they think it's the coolest city in the world - and they will naturally get access to the best talent because of it.

Regardless of how you feel about SF now or then, it's hard to argue that it's actually "cool" enough today that it's drawing any talent on its own. People moved to SF to pursue the rat race of chasing after good software jobs - not the other way around.

So yeah, I definitely believe that there is an elitist bubble where Horowitz and Benioff and other prominent SFians kind of delude themselves to believe that SF is actually a better place to start a software business rather than, say, Omaha or St Louis or even Sacramento.
You can close your eyes and just drive to some random place, a 7-11 or whatever, and it is so beautiful that it would be a state park in Maryland. And the weather is so nice you can leave your tiny overpriced house and go visit the beauty every day.

Again, my question is why in your model is the uniform application of a force the same as no application of a force?

That's not my model, it's Einstein's.
The data is all fully public and easily scraped from APIs (both reddit and twitter). Who is the audience for these paid plans? Is this for oauth enabled access on behalf of users?
I guess. TBH it seemed to me like rust success stories was more people like Bryan Cantrill who don't seem at all like the Mozilla people. Maybe this is a difference between practice and theorists.

AFAICT the whole subject was actual dislike of a project mixed with its irrelevance given the timeline. I find it entirely fair to downgrade someone's talk based on community feedback that they don't like a technical direction/topic/etc. I suppose it should hurt more to get honest negative sentiment on the direction of your actual work than random prejudice or something, and yes the dominant sentiment could be wrong, but I don't see how that is relevant let alone a valid source of drama for others.

Perhaps people who step down will be replaced by people who simply reject the criticism that they shouldn't make the best choice for what the community wants to hear about.
I like reddit, I really do. So it's sad to see them taking a page out of the twitter playbook and are taking active measures to destroy their thriving ecosystem.

The official reddit app is an absolute nightmare and essentially unusable. Their "new" website also completely sucks and is even worse on mobile than it is on desktop. If this actually gets implemented as is, I'll definitely have a very productive rest of my year. I have no data to back this up, but I feel like with reddit, even more users only rely on third party clients than it was on twitter.
What effect do transgender rights have on you, regardless of whether they are legitimate human-rights concerns or not?

Statistically, the odds are overwhelming that the answer is, "No effect whatsoever."

Then who benefits from keeping the subject front-and-center in your thoughts and writing? Is it more likely to be a transgender person, or a leftist politician... or a right-wing demagogue?
I think when a company is as openly hostile to the interests of its employees as Amazon, you shouldn't be surprised when there's hostility in return.

Having every transaction recorded in a public append only but otherwise immutable ledger does not afford the privacy choice you have with fiat.

People using fiat are not losing their life savings when they forget their bank passwords, nor are they sending money to the wrong address and losing money irrecoverably.
Yeah, let's put off trying to implement actual ("long-term") solutions because we are in a crisis. Then make new excuses next year for how we still can't afford to think long-term because our problems are so bad right now.
OpenAI's plans according to sama
Big mistake.

One defining characteristic of currently fashionable LLMs is that they are only right 70-80% of the time, which works fine for "chatbots" that are directly in communication with people, they are completely untenable for "automation" tasks that take multiple actions on their own. (e.g. put 10 80% reliable steps in a row and you have a process that works only 10% of the time)

That is, you can ask ChatGPT, like Alexa, to "open the pod bay doors" but on a flight to Jupiter they'll struggle to get out of LEO.
One pattern is having a Workflow that runs as long as the lifetime of a domain object and holds a conceptual lock on that object—it receives requests to modify the object, and makes sure to only perform one operation at a time. (like the state pattern on a particular agent)

Also related: Signals are events that you can send to Workflows and between Workflows, and they’re always delivered in the order they’re received.

Public colleges are prestigious

The user is definitively making an error here. Especially when the user is actually not a user but a producer (supposedly artists). As an artist you should strive to have a certain level of ownership and independence.

It gets worse, there was a thread a couple weeks ago about Envato (ex ThemeForest) asking all their authors for "free/unlimited" rights for anything they have to be used to train AI models for NO compensation. It was eye opening how many "artists" and "producers" accepts the status quo as is, and think it's still a good idea to collect whatever this company throw on their way.

It's really hard to feel sorry for these people...
You'll still be able to access the website, for now. I wouldn't be surprised if they tried killing that, too. If I were a profit-above-all bastard that was trying to squeeze my users for telemetry, I'd force them to use the mobile app exclusively to access my service.
The goal of "crime wave" rhetoric is #1. You can tell because the people pushing it ignore far costlier crimes such as wage theft that tend to be committed by people whom they don't want to punish.

Heck, for the past decade or so, police themselves have stolen at least as much via civil asset forfeiture than has been taken in burglaries [1]. Yet the "law and order" solution is to hand them more power.

A member of a disorganized group invited someone to act as keynote speaker at a global tech conference. Members of the group were not in agreement about that invitation. Eventually, "the group" retracted the offer. Chaos ensues.
This depends heavily on the field.

In many cases results can easily be independently verified. This is why it works for AI. If you publish a result, it should come with code anybody can run. If the code doesn't exist or doesn't do what you say it does, you're a fool and everyone can ignore you. If it does, you don't need anyone's stamp of approval to prove it.

But that doesn't work with medical trials or things of that nature where independently verifying the claims is expensive.
OK, but tell me about RED... :-)
I mean I can't even use the one they host because I wait for things to load and spin.
Why not Behavioral Intelligence? After all that’s what we really mean. We want things to “behave” in certain ways, not necessarily automatically, rather responsively.

I wonder where you get your confidence. In my experience as a software engineer in the Bay Area for 25 years, every company I've worked at (all medium to large either ISVs or internet companies) used Jira and at every one of those companies Jira was used most heavily by software engineers.
Safe and just Earth system boundaries
Problem is a lot of people already in SF where not there for tech jobs, but beauty, art, banking, social movements, good industrial work, fishing/canning jobs, all that sort of thing. The unusually high software/tech related salaries have somewhat diminished the ability of the other folks to enjoy the lifestyles they previously enjoyed.
Because the amenities you value change over time. There’s very little I want or need in the city any more. Plus these days, lots of amenities will come to you.

If the car companies manage to get level 5 self driving working well, I’ll move even further out of the city.
So retool, windmill.dev, airplane.dev and now this one. All YC backed. Very interesting. I wonder what YC thinks when they fund similar companies in such a short span of time.

What's the granularity of a Reddit API call? Is e.g. loading a submission with all the comments, or loading the top 20 submissions to a subreddit a single request? Or do you actually end up doing tens of requests for what's effectively a single page load (one for the submission and a few comments, one for the each image, one for each additional batch of comments)?

$0.24 for 1000 full page loads wouldn't actually sound insane (if you compare to typical CPMs of sites with ads), but it seems hard to believe that the average user is doing that 350 times / day.
Come for the pricing info (50 million requests costs $12,000). Stay for the argument in the comments about whether or not HN users are deranged.
I just tried the prompt "Give me a description of 10 different families that would be a representative sample of the US population." and it gave results that were actually pretty close to normative.

It still was biased for male head of households to be doctors, architects, truck drivers, etc. And pretty much all of the families were middle class (bar one in rural America, and one that was a single father working two jobs in an urban area). It did have a male gay couple. No explicitly inter-generational households.

Yeah, the "default" / unguided description of a family is a modern take on the American nuclear family of the 50s. I think this is generally pretty reflective of who is writing the majority of the content that this model is trained on.

But it's nice that it's able to give you some more dimension when you ask it vaguely for more realistic dimension.

It's certainly building an app. It's not building an AI app, though. It's building a front-end to an existing AI application.

Not really. A CSPRNG is either initialized properly or it isn't. Once it is, entropy has ceased to be a concern. The original LRNG design misapprehends the purpose of continuous "entropy collection", which is about post-compromise security (it's essentially a rekeying operation), and not about any kind of cryptographic exhaustion.
It's being supported in an extension that looks on track to be broadly available across WASM runtimes soonish.
How do you mean? Are you supposing they are more cost-effective that public run prisons?
This is a weird train of thought that assumes the end and then builds to it. I'm a member of a tool library and it is and has been great. Even without that experience, these are trivial questions: the person/people that set up the tool library handles it, and they're incentivized to do so from their salary they get paid by the tool library, which it in turn gets from membership dues.
I 100% agree that there's a lot of room for improvement here.

I moved here because of the location, not the jobs. I could care less about standing about in an open office with noise canceling headphones all day. If you want a walkable place to live that is near some of the most wonderful cycling in the entire world, it is hard to beat.
If that happened it would indirectly change the incentives anyway, because everyone would start being required to release data, so bad practices that are currently incentivized would become impossible.

However I think it would be better to directly incentivize data release rather than require it, at least in biomedical sciences. Because of patient privacy issues there is no way raw data release can be required across the board. And I certainly do not trust the NIH to come up with a coherent set of rules for when it is versus isn't allowed, which would mean loopholes and more corruption.
Does the Python documentation not meticulously list the entire history of changes at method level?
Well, maybe it will be a plus then for minorities that all of the training data is of white people. I only joke, as this is a horrible idea all around, but I appreciate your creativity.
Interesting how you're characterizing enforcement of property crime as "beatings", and not stealing things as "morale".
I agree with nearly everything you said, but I do think you're making a distinction without a difference regarding using the words "liar" et al.

A better explanation of your position (as I perceive it) might be: I think OP is lying for rhetorical points. The alternative explanations just seem too unlikely to me, and Occam's Razor screams a high likelihood of lying.
Keep in mind that Reddit has said they're going to stop serving NSFW content via API too. So if you enjoy that stuff you won't get it in Apollo even if you pay them.

If you are looking for an s3 protocol alternative it's probably swift. [0]

There is no widespread software adoption like for s3.

If you want something that is accessible via http and that's it take a look at seaweedfs? You can put files in over different gateways but access it over http. The rights management is probably not what you want. (You mentioned acls)

If you want some storage that you can access over http just setup anything and use a webserver like nginx in front of it...

The other commenters are right and you need to be more specific about your requirements.

At the point where you're simply equating /dev/random and /dev/urandom, you're no longer really disagreeing with anybody here. The only difference between the two is that /dev/random keeps a metric on how many bits its vended, and blocks waiting for rekeying when that metric gets too high. That's more or less a nonsensical thing to do.
