I also recently learned they publish changes to their IP netblocks almost daily as part of their new "please use more SNS" blog post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35056973

I agree - it's disastrous when it goes wrong. If you ask it to generate the code for a lambda with 32 CPU's it will happily spout out nonsense rather than tell you it's not a valid think to request.

That said, ive found it remarkably good at spitting out slightly modified boilerplate - like IDE templates on steroids. It's been a great tool, like a hammer. But not everything is a nail.
Shame, I'd been greatly enjoying Mullvad and their stance on privacy, but port forwarding is a must for some of the services I run. Anyone have a good suggested alternative?
Depends on the case. If you already know who belongs to a terrorist organization then maybe stopping the money and limiting the ability to terrorize would be a higher priority.
Virgil doesn't have all the backends for the diversity of embedded ISAs out there, but the first version compiled to C and ran in as little as dozens of bytes of memory (on 8-bit AVR). Nowadays I am not doing embedded systems, otherwise I'd write more backends.
> So... suggest a solution.

I am not sure if you read the rest of the comments and suggestions in this whole post, but multiple people did, over multiple discussion threads.

Feel free to go back and read them.

Also, it is still interesting and useful to suggest part of the solution, without writing dozens of pages on the exact specific details of it. Even just recommending crypto, is interesting enough, due to the fact that real usecases for crypto are so rare.

> This could be said about just about everything.

Ok, well in this case, related to AI, lots of people were wrong. And those people who were wrong, should figure out what mistake they made, to be so wrong, and why they were so quick to incorrectly dismiss these arguments.
Yeah, every time... and right here you see the meaning of 'every time'
To be fair, the wrong version is just a recolor and is more visually pleasing. The “red disk” is the inside of the tiara and makes the 3D shape more recognizable than the white version.

Read about J. Edgar Hoover.
Why not? That implies that an 8000 state Turing machine which eventually halts when started with a blank tape doesn't exist. If any of them do (and it's trivial to simulate one), then exactly such a program can exist.
Sure, there are many different ways to tackle this.
> The ban on crop burning (main cause of Delhi's pollution) was central to the farm bill. But protesting farmers (widely supported in the west) opposed it, and the bill died despite having democratic approval (both national opinion and sufficient votes)

Then why is Delhi's air quality consistently poor, unhealthy, severe and hazardous even when there is no crop burning? https://www.aqi.in/us/dashboard/india/delhi/new-delhi

Of course we need to do something about crop burning, but is it the "main" reason? Nope.
But why? If you don't invest then you turn the $100 into 96 today dollars. It seems to me that information is pretty much irrelevant.
Even earlier; but that's a private system library you're not supposed to use.

Microsoft's new Universal C Run Time addresses the problem of there not being a C library on Windows that is for public use (every compiler vendor providing their own).
Not like that is different in the USA ?

Or did Sanders et al. suddenly become the majority of the Democrats while I wasn't paying attention ?
> Liberals fall for this trick frequently because they are obsessed with being seen to have to correct answer, so they invest for more effort in debunking than the liars did in making their claim.

Excuse me while my eyes roll into the back of my head.

Whether "liberal" or "conservative", some of us still care that facts matter. And honestly I would never have worried so much about calling out so much bullshit in the past until I saw so many of my fellow (voting) citizens actually believe this BS and take it to dangerous extremes. For example, when QAnon first came out, I just smiled a bit and laughed - "This doesn't even reach the level of bad fan fiction" I thought. Yet, lo and behold, significant swaths of the US population believe this, and I find that frightening.
Charting the Course to 100k Qubits
Well said, that's exactly my point.
If you know it is for human trafficking, why would you cut off the payment instead of arresting the people?
Where do you live that you just don’t pay with a card at the gas pump? I’m guessing not in the USA?
"only as a bridge to using electricity"

The key point is that the AED (automatic electric defibrillator) will tell you if you have a shockable rhythm.

Many modern AED's can be used by untrained people, so if you see a cardiac arrest, find the nearest AED and deliver it and/or follow its (brief) instructions. Once you know this, you'll start tracking the last one you saw, and you'll find them more ubiquitous than you realized (and start advocating for one in your office).

(And if you are doing CPR, the breathing part is less important than the chest compressions. Blood flow is more important than oxygenation. But always/only follow current guidelines/training.)
This raises deep philosophical questions about the nature of truth as it pertains to flags in particular.

If everybody is using the wrong flag in real life (well, ok, online) while the correct flag is merely a blueprint, a shadow projected inside Plato's cave, what is true and what is wrong?
Why is what I wrote incompatible with what you say?
Home Depot has a backup generator or battery in order to still allow transactions to go through in the event of a power outage. It even ran the air conditioning. They stored the payments offline until they were able to connect online again.

What I've seen happen more often is that there is a network error and digital payments can't be processed for hours. Digital money relies on a lot more complex infrastructure than just electricity.
Death by design patterns, or On the cognitive load of abstractions in the code
It depends on your view point and the model you are making.

Generally it will be your cost of capital to be used as a discount rate. Say if you borrow at 10%, then you need account for that every year you need to wait for that return.

A company with access to cheap capital can use a lower discount rate, and come up with higher net present value based on distant cash flows compared to a company that needs to pay a lot.

Net present value is a normalization measure.
Mohammed Zubair and Pratik Sinha are Indian journalists and the co-founders of Alt News, an Indian non-profit fact-checking website. They were nominated for the 2022 Nobel Peace Prize. They have fact checked the claims from all political parties. [1]

>> Zubair was arrested and incarcerated by the Delhi Police for a month. His detention raised further concerns about the state of India's press freedom under Narendra Modi's premiership and was widely criticized by journalistic bodies, human rights organizations and the political opposition who allege that the arrest was an act of revenge against his role in Alt News' work of combating disinformation.[1]

I mean, I know this other guy who absolutely was mentally handicapped in my Calculus class.

He obviously could do calculus, but we all had to be careful how we talked and interacted, because his ability outside of math was almost nil.

Must have been one of those 'idiot-savants' or something.
I see the correct one, and it hasn't changed since 1 January.

Regardless, that edit history is interesting because it suggests that the mistake (if it is one) goes back way further than Wikipedia. The very first upload (24 Nov 2005) had the red tiara, and was added with this comment:

Yes, it goes a bit far, but the basic problem is treating this as all-or-nothing: Either the article is true or false. Either AI is going to take over, or it will have little effect.

I believe the article raises relevant issues about why deploying AI-based systems is harder and will take longer than it might appear. Another relevant example might be driverless cars. It's taking many years and deployment is still quite limited. Some companies gave up. But I'm not going to count Waymo out yet.

Similarly, it's possible that Hinton got the timeline wrong for radiology, but it might still have significant affects on radiologist employment in the end.

(Note that this sort of reasoning by analogy is useful for imagining plausible scenarios, but not for ruling things out.)
You should look at selling local advertising (and get creative at incorporating those businesses into the prompts for in-chat placements). $1500/mo to a local business to get 5,000 local eyeballs per day should be a no-brainer - and that's for a takeover-style ad that gives 100% of impressions to a single advertiser.

The smarter way would be to open up sponsor opportunities for certain categories, for example: restaurants, retail (tire shops, hardware stores, clothing stores), common service industries (plumbers, electricians, landscaping, website design, general contractors, computer/cellphone repair)- then sell those placements for $200-500/mo to whoever wants to have the placement for that.

Replicate this for other cities and you have a healthy business - you can hire people to sell these ad spots in their respective regions and you can actually scale it up. Billboards work in the same way. Those billboard companies might even be interested in selling their placements to your viewers.
Yeah. But those billionaires probably aren’t going to have that in cash either.
A healthy economy is needed for people to be able to spend time with loved ones. People who have to work double shifts or can't make ends meet end up missing out on a lot of family time.
Indian highway engineers still can't figure out how to design exists and have consistent road markings/safety signs. Let them come up with a standard or enforce the already existing one first.

Very rare to see slip lanes even in normal roads of Tier 1 cities.

Just laying down asphalt isn't building highways.

Who controls the central bank in Brazil? Who can implement changes to this system? How much PII is recorded with each transaction and who can view it?
you get a lot of your energy back via regenerative breaking, so it isn’t that wasteful.

Not many corners in the city.

There are lighter EVs that corner well. The real issue with an EV is that you never feel like you are going to tip over while cornering because your center of gravity is so low. Where is the fun in that?
Funny part is that the original Frogger didn't have a high score table. But someone wrote new code to add it.

I am just wondering because NY-> LON is mostly ocean as is LA/SFO -> asia/australia coast where big cities are. Intra-continental flights like NYC->LA are a bit long for sure but most pain points are international and between coastal cities.

So you're saying instead of cutting down 8h trip to 4h it would be more like to 6h? Still something imo.
I would like to see a similar blog post, but for React.

They would accept new proposals for these if you want to contribute, or just continue complaining.
The transparency of FOSS conferring exceptionally high visibility into how the sausage is made often creates this kind of impression.

But in reality what's happening here is folks are getting access to bleeding-edge kernel development snapshots who choose to run these kernel versions, and are lucky to get such quick access to patches even before the scope of new bugs are entirely understood by the developers. Note there's nothing preventing these affected users from simply running a prior known-stable kernel version until the bug is better understood, they're opting in on the chaos.

It's unfair to assume Dave Chinner et al won't be running the issue seemingly fixed by this one-line change fully to ground.

If you're not interested in playing the role of kernel QA and interacting with the upstream devs when things break in not yet understood ways, don't run bleeding edge kernel versions. LTS and -stable releases are offered for a reason.
patio11 covers this a bit in a series of blog posts in his newsletter: https://www.bitsaboutmoney.com/archive/money-laundering-and-....

Quoting a relevant paragraph from the AML post above: Much like KYC, AML policies are recursive stochastic management of crime. The state deputizes financial institutions to, in effect, change the physics of money. In particular, it wants them to situationally repudiate the fungibility of money. (Fungibility is the property that $1 is $1 and, moreover, that you are utterly indifferent between particular dollars.) They are not required to catch every criminal moving money (that would not be a positive result!)
If you keep horses the best way you can and just ride them for pleasure then fine I guess. Not worse than the ZOO. Tradeoffs of existence. But when there's competition involved, there's undue stress. So I don't think I want to give a free pass to other horse competitions just because thoroughbred racing is just the worst by a long shot.
When did you do this test? I don't have any numbers handy, but a couple years ago I compared google's OCR vs AWS's on "text in the wild" pictures. AWS' wasn't bad, but it was definitely outperformed by the google one. The open-source solutions I tried (tesseract and some academic deep-learning code) were far behind.
The trouble with that logic is that there's a huge correlation between happiness (https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/happiest-...) and GDP per capita.

The Gross National Happiness index of Bhutan has been in place for 15 years. Maybe there’s something we can borrow from there.

Gross National Happiness (GNH), sometimes called Gross Domestic Happiness (GDH), is a philosophy that guides the government of Bhutan.

Gross National Happiness Index is instituted as the goal of the government of Bhutan in the Constitution of Bhutan, enacted on 18 July 2008.

I can assure you that they weren't built corruption free. The US might have worst corruption because it has the most money to bleed off on the side.
Mmmm, the Prime Example of color space hell. I'd bet these people never seen it correctly on monitor since I don't think any single of them ever had calibrated display (if i'm wrong i apologize). Pointless and priceless until it gets serious and then, wait for it, printed! Which is whole another step of brain-melting-difficulty in getting it correct. (wikipedia reverters [in this scenario] are) Laughable at least, thanks, made my day. The difference in versions from 2014 (compared to later ones) is completely hilarious. Enjoy while you can!
Switzerland has (or had?) those red and blue slips that you could pay online or at a bank or perhaps an ATM. It made online payments virtually zero overhead, not sure if it was anonymous.
If they have the account number. Ideally you would only need a bank account with any bank for this to work. That would allow anyone to receive payment this way.
> Sharing patient data harms privacy

Yes, that's a very abstract statement that seems plausible and is easy to make, but how do we know there's significant harm? What are some real-world examples? Can we quantify how much harm is done to patients from sharing too much, versus sharing too little?
> There's also a lot of that magic happening in the world of GPUs right now.

I wish. It's not happening from NVidia.[1] NVidia will sell you an awesome GPU for an awesome price, but price/performance is advancing very slowly. NVidia's current entry level GPU card for desktops is $400. Also, NVidia's laptop GPUs that dissipate 130 watts are kind of a problem.

> The boringness seems like a game design problem.

Yes. We might see solutions from VR natives. See Phia's Virtual Reality Show.[1] Phia, in her early 20s and into VR for years, talks with insight about both gear and the social aspects of virtual worlds.[2] So far, though, no major breakthroughs.

The Yuga Labs / Otherside people
tried making their virtual world a very expensive and exclusive experience to get into, in hopes of getting a non-loser crowd. But that turned out to be a Make Money Fast scheme that didn't deliver. Now the SEC is after them.[3]

Maybe the poor in the US are also f? Have u considered that?

Sanders is not pro business. He is at least trying to help the ppl. He is not the usual democrats.

Sorry what's the point that u r trying to make? I never mentioned the US in the first place.
You’re lying. I know people you’ve emailed at their real contact. I also know people blacklisted by YC. Of course you would lie, you’re the foot soldier for the ultra right-wing owners of this site. All one needs to do is look at Paul Graham’s twitter to know that all of you are lying scumbags.

He’s filthy with kompromat and fully under control of the US gov since he’s rightfully worried about the truth coming out.
I'm skeptical even those services properly inform users about the risks and downsides. I also suspect those services turn a blind eye to resellers violating their consent policies
Weird way to say that people should talk to their doctors about how they want to die before the time is upon them.

Major problem in the US. See it every day at my job.
Surely the same happens with cashless payments? A teller in a store can process way more transactions via contactless than with cash in the same amount of time.
Infix operators are very weird, though. They come from math, where every elementary school student has to memorize "please excuse my dear aunt sally" to be able to answer a simple question like "what is 2³ + 4 ÷ 2". C copied this concept, and nobody really ever bothered to memorize C's operator precedence, so they just end up writing Lisp but with the operators in the middle. pow(2, 3) + (4/2). Note that some operators appear prefix instead of infix for no apparent reason.

(You can't just remember what you learned in math class when writing a computer program, because now we have bitwise and, or, xor, left shift, right shift, equality, pointer dereferencing, assignment, logical and, or, modulo, pre-increment, post-increment, bitwise not, logical not, etc. So you have to learn it all again. And it's different for every language.)

Put everything up front, and suddenly you don't have to think about this anymore. (+ (expt 2 3) (/ 4 2)). The computer just does what you say and there are no rules to memorize.

Personally, I always use RPN calculators (dc is my favorite), because I don't trust the calculator to remember operator precedence. They usually do it right, but it's difficult to reason about. (The example would be "2 3 ^ 4 2 / + p" in dc.)
Did you find sources and make the edit? Or just assume it would be rejected?

In my experience, the vast majority of my edits were accepted when properly sourced, especially on esoteric topics like this. Yes, there are exceptions and bad apples in the community. Those get a all the attention and media coverage but I've only encountered them on heavily edited and visited pages, not the more rare academic or historic pages. While it's anecdotal, I just checked and I've clocked nearly 800 edits in the past decade.

The publisher creates the journal and brings aboard the editor(s). The author then can decide where to submit a paper -- or maybe even just distribute it for free on the Internet and forgo all of the bureaucracy. The author has ultimate control.

Now you might argue that authors need to publish because the promotion committee cares. Okay, but again the professors are in control. If they don't want to use the journals and their filtering pipeline, they can come up with their own way of giving out promotions.

Sorry for not expressing my point more clearly. It's not that nobody should ever engage in debunking, but that deliberately bullshit statements are often introduced on social media to steal the time of well-meaning debunkers.

I realized Qanon was going to be a problem from when it first appeared, but that's because I've spent about 20 years paying close attention to mis- and disinformation and political influence groups. What I'm pointing out here is that the time costs of lying vs debunking favor liars, especially when aggregated across communities.
