I live in Seattle, Cap Hill. Before I moved here and when I first moved here (from London) people told me that Seattle was a terrible place to make friends and build a community. My experience has been exactly the opposite; this has been the best place I've ever lived for making friends and building community, especially as a sober person.

The order of importance, I have found community here in:

- Swing dancing, both classes and going to shows with live jazz bands to dance (I was never a dancer before moving here)

- Lifting (there are great locally owned gyms in this neighborhood)

- Getting to know people who own or work at local businesses

- People who have similar tech interests, that I meet from a mixture of the previous 3 places

Finally, and I think this is a really important thing to do, I try to organize events, either in my home or in any one of the local parks in the summer, where friends I've made in different parts of my life all get together and also get to know each other
Seth McFarland wrote a pretty great piece on Star Trek replicators and their relationship to the structure of society.

The question it answers is "does the replicator allow for Star Trek's utopia, or does Star Trek's utopia allow for the replicator?"

It is very thought provoking, and very relevant.
A bizarre post that points out the flaws of AI generated content without providing any sort of salient point about it. Capping it off with "I don't want to hear about the fixes for this" is the icing on this particular "turd" cake.
"Voting" is certainly not a standalone answer to "how to get Congress to change laws."

As you say, it's not gonna be easy to change politicians' minds... so doing nothing certainly won't do it.

You can pick defeatism or you can get creative. Step 1 in the US as it is is probably "find your own connected people with access to money and work on getting them involved."

It takes a long time, but I'd start with studying the anti-abortion movement, the environment or climate ones, or the ones around sexuality. Those are all fields where the laws of the land have moved.
Well I mean the recent bank failures showed the issue with treasuries, but sure it seems we agree more than disagree. You agree that holding USD is failure for long term value or even short term (3 year) value transport.

My argument is that assets and crypto is needed to hedge the potential incoming USD destruction. And that because crypto has some nice properties that houses and the SP500 don't, it has a legitimate reason to be a part (even if small) of your hedge.

I don't buy the "Crypto is a complete scam" argument at all.

Here’s why AI risks are real, even if our most advanced AI is merely a ‘language’ model:

Language can represent thoughts and some world models. There is strong evidence that LLMs contain some representation of world models it learned from text. Moreover, LLM is already a misnomer; latest versions are multimodal. Current versions can be used to build agents with limited autonomy. Future versions of LLMs are most likely capable of more independence.

Even dumb viruses have caused catastrophic harm. Why? It’s capable of rapid self replication in a massive number of existing vessels. You add in some intelligence, vast store of knowledge, huge bandwidth, and some aid by malicious human actors, what could such a group of future autonomous agents do?

I haven’t listened to the podcast and it’s been years since I read The Fall — but in what sense is Clamence overtly terrible? My reading was that his feelings of guilt and pathological impulse to confess to minor wrongdoings was part of Camus’ critique of society.

He basically destroyed his life in a pouting fit over minor infractions — e.g, dwelling over the fact that he heard a scream on a bridge and didn’t call the police. He then ruminated over it obsessively.

Another example — he’s involved in a fairly relatable road-rage incident on a bicycle and lost face after the person slapped him and ran away. Again he tore himself up over it.

I had no idea any of these things made him guilty (what I thought was the point of the novel, that these feelings are absurd or something), let alone make him “terrible”.

I just did my cert in the PNW this month - there was plenty of time spent on breathing, but also emphasis that doing compressions is the important part. Interestingly, the instructor thought this change was mostly due to amateurs being far less comfortable with giving breaths and being likely to refrain from CPR altogether if they thought it was necessary to do the breathing.

FWIW I have done it by video during covid and in a live class before and after, and I did find it much more engaging and memorable in person. It was surprising to realize that, but simply having the additional sense memories seems to have made a big difference to retaining the information.
Regular gym goer for 20+ years here. It eventually becomes difficult not going to the gym, on days I can’t exercise I feel restless, like a dog that hasn’t gone out for his walk.

Food, I eat between 4K and 5k calories per day and I’m close to 10% body fat. I love eating.

Re: boring. Lift heavy, it’s supposed to be challenging. It should require focus and concentration. Don’t use machines, those are boring.

I would never go if it were exclusively for aesthetic, strength, or health benefits. For me it lifts my mood like nothing else, anytime I feel like not going I know it is my I unexercised mind telling me stories, once I start moving weight it’s like changing a radio station in my head and the negative affect fades away.
What’s the catch with this approach
The key to building relationships with people is that you need to spend time with them. A lot of time. That's a big reason why it's so easy when you're young; you're constantly put in classrooms with the same people.

It works pretty well as an adult too. Take an in person class. Something 1-2 days a week for a couple months. You meet people and you learn something.
This worked for me, too (except I’m usually the one walking by rather than the one waving people over to chat).

If you don’t like small talk, a great way to interact with neighbors is to offer your help, e.g. if you see someone doing work outside, gardening, etc… offer to lend a hand!

I see AI tools as being useful for getting a first draft of something (art, code, text, etc.) which the artist, writer, etc. can use to edit and refine into a product.

It can also be useful for experimenting with/iterating on concepts. For example, getting the tool to create 4-5 concepts you can use for inspiration.
The answer to your question, I'm afraid, is "time". Zelda was heavily pre-ordered, and they had a deadline to hit.

The fact that they could take two weeks off and still hit the window is a testament to their good planning. (And the fact that they had already announced a delay a year earlier.) But software is notoriously hard to plan, and a lot of things could easily have turned that two week time off into two weeks of 100-hour crunch time.

It sounds as if they planned a generous schedule, which is another great thing. Triple-A game studios are notorious for doing the Silicon Valley thing: make optimistic announcements and insist that everybody work unpaid overtime to make it happen. Artists, QA, and other "little people" often take the brunt of the hit there, and sure don't get rich off of it.

Taking the time to develop a product well, without killing your team, seems anathema to a lot of CEOs.
This is a case where a positive AB test result could push you in the wrong direction. It might take a long-term holdout group to find the negative effect, and those can be hard to manage.
> Better phrasing would be niche legitimate use cases not worth supporting, at least not domestically, if you’re America, the EU, China, India or Japan.

Strong emphasis on "domestically". If you want to send money from one of those entities to another one, it gets hairy quite fast. I remember a time before SEPA and it was horrifying.

You can still have horrifying experiences with SEPA today. A German company once required that I send them CHF to their German IBAN. Which breaks several of the conditions for smooth SEPA transactions. IIRC for something like 30 Euro in value I had to pay 10 Euro in fees.

Wordwide is also problematic. If you can PayPal helps, but PayPal is its own hell, as many shop owners know. Credit Cards work but I can't send money via CC to a friend on the other side of the world, or can I?

I don't think Bitcoin or crypto is it but it would really be beneficial if we had some kind of money that is a first class citizen of the internet.
The article makes no mention of any cooling, but does mention warming.

The article is making the case that climate change has been a concern of scientists for over 50 years, which is true, but for the first half of that time, many/most scientists were concerned about global cooling, which is an important point that is not mentioned at all.

>Qualcomm and Apple are not going to ditch ARM any time soon

Just two notes:

- Qualcomm is a top-tier RISC-V member and has an ugly lawsuit going on with ARM about Nuvia's IP. They did multiple presentations in RISC-V Summit where they were very clear about their intent to move to RISC-V.

- Apple has been hiring RISC-V experts for a while (now years). Keywords included performance and optimization.

So do not count on either to remain faithful to ARM.

>What I’m saying is that RISC-V is a hypothetical contender until manufacturers adopt it.

As per RISC-V's foundation presentation in RISC-V Summit December 2022, RISC-V had at that point already shipped 10 billion cores.

That's some serious manufacturing, and we're talking about what already happened. It's safe to assume much more of that is ongoing.
It's hard to evaluate your experience without knowing more about you and the podcasts you subscribed to. Can you share more?

In my experience, repeat listening is going to depend on the content and style of the podcast. Some will naturally bring you along while others can't generate great output consistently. The pattern I see is guest participation in the great episodes. Guests can't sustain a podcast unless there is a strong pipeline.

A podcast like Accidental Tech Podcast is consistently great for the fanbase, to the point where they'll pay for unedited versions. There have only been a few guests over the years and it's completely sustained by the creators. The Rest is History is completely sustained by the creators, but guests are regularly included. Sometimes I'm disappointed when they have a guest. CoRecursive depends on guests and has much more variability for me.
>It is not a fluke that ChatGPT becomes popular in a time when alternative facts wins elections. A time when prominent business people look down at education and talks about smart people being dangerous. A time when you have to sit down with your dad for an hour to explain that the post he read on Facebook is not really a news article.

I think you may be reversing cause and effect by your tone. The following statement is not new at all.

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
― Isaac Asimov

At least in the past mass information was protected by gatekeepers. That printing presses and paper was expensive was a gate. That radio towers were expensive and channels few was a gate. That television towers were even more expensive and broadcasting was an expensive endeavor was an even larger gate. These gatekeepers where generally significantly invested in the continued distribution of their message and had some limits of restraint.

In those same times there were conmen with no restraint whatsoever, but it was much less likely they would have a medium in which to spread widely so it limited their audience.

With cable TV and internet we have developed an unlimited medium to a 24/7 hour audience anywhere in seconds. Truly monumental amounts of garbage and trash can be generated and fed to a hungry audience. They get their own little sheltered realities of junk food information in which they never have to leave.
Half the words in modern Japanese is a long stretch. All Japanese words have two readings so obviously you can say that, but only one of those readings is used in daily conversation.

Of course it does. CT trust relies on root programs removing bad CAs and root programs and security researchers sharing information about bad CAs with root programs. The root programs, CA, and security researchers are colloquially "the CA community".
I think it's the combination of two things.

First, there are actual worries by a good chunk of the researchers. From runaway-paperclip AGIs to simply unbounded disinformation, I think there are a lot of scenarios that disinterested researchers and engineers worry about.

Second, the captains of industry are taking note of those worries and making sure they get some regulatory moat. I think the Google memo about moat hits it right on the nail. The techniques and methods to build these systems are all out on the open, the challenges are really the data, compute, and the infrastructure to put it all together. But post training, the models are suddenly very easy to finetune and deploy.

AI Risk worry comes as an opportunity for the leaders of these companies. They can use this sentiment and the general distrust for tech to build themselves a regulatory moat.

The LOC instance was trying to capture the idea / atmosphere of the post 2001-09-11 environment (it is in the September 11, 2001 Web Archive collection). It wasn't trying for a deep capture of the content but rather a "this is what it was like."

It’s unequivocal that academics may have conflicts (in general), that’s why disclosures are required for publications.

I’m not uncovering anything, several of the academic signatories list affiliations with OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, Stability, MILA and Vector resulting in a financial conflict.

Note that conflict does not mean shill, but in academia it should be disclosed. To allay some concerns a standard disclosure form would be helpful (i.e. do you receive funding support or have financial interest in a corporation pursuing AI commercialization).

> photons can leave from any point in space at any angle

Not really. They can leave from any point on a surface at any angle. Once they're on their way, they don't change direction. If a surface is an infinite distance away, then by the time they reach your face, the photons from that surface are all travelling parallel to each other. That's what collimation is simulating: looking at objects an infinite distance away.

Why? As the article says:

"But try this experiment. If you can find a fixed test pattern, put that on the HMD's screen, then pull the HMD away from your face a little, and move it side to side by an inch or so (don't rotate it, just translate it). The image stays fixed in space! It’s a really strange thing – you’re moving the physical box, but the image inside it doesn’t move. That’s the power of collimated-light images, and it's still very unintuitive to me even though I understand the physics and maths very well."

Just how, when you look at a surface a great distance away, its appearance doesn't change if you move your head a few millimetres from side to side.

"Of course real VR lenses are not perfectly collimated for various reasons. But they're close enough that getting the IAD (optical axis separation) adjustment perfectly right is not as important as it appears at first."

Collimation means that the device is robust to the exact distance between the user's eyes. That is very useful.
Vitamin D is also good for bone density. My kid's doctor recommended it for scoliosis since people with that tend to have lower bone density later in life and supplementing gets them back to normal levels.

Was this inspired at all by VueUse? After the windicss/tailwind and Remix/Next.js scuffles it's become clear that it's good to get acknowledgement.

Either way, I hope it's as well documented and well maintained as VueUse. That has been pretty sweet. I wanted something like it for React a few months ago and useHooks was the closest thing I found but not nearly as good. Hopefully this relaunch will be.

As a software developer myself, like many of us here, I can assure you that I'm very familiar with the concerns mentioned; in fact, I've already provided examples in this thread of companies which directly consider them into their pricing model in order to provide versioned licenses.

It's kind of surprising to have to say this though... 10 years ago and beyond this was the norm, if not the only way. Software companies figured it out a long time ago. A one-man company or a side project is a different thing with more constraints, but that's not what this is anymore.

There's also the philosophical angle of creating software that cannot be bought or owned. That strikes a nerve with a lot of people (especially on HN).

So bummed. Encryption is missing again.

> Users expect to be able to search their whole archive, so either you need all the data in the client, or the server needs to have access to the data... ...JMAP is therefore not introducing any new measures to address end-to-end encryption

You don't need to transfer gigs of emails to a client and manually search character-by-character through a massive trove of data. That isn't how search functions.

You can use probabilistic filters (like bloomfilters) so a client can actually run a search on thousands of emails using only a few hundred kilobytes (or maybe megabytes) of actual encrypted data. Basically, less than a modern webpage.

Each time a new email is downloaded, parse it, add it to an index segment, encrypt it, and store it back on the email server. Different clients can reuse the same indexes.
