Frankly - this is a dumb comment (and I don't usually call things dumb, but this... it's dumb).

> If ai would “think” and “learn” then surely they wouldn't need ever increasing amounts of data. Yet they do, because their premise is incorrect.

If only people would "think" and "learn" and then surely they wouldn't need [education and basic input from the world]. Yet they do, because clearly people aren't thinking, learning creatures.... (fucking /s)

Like - I'm struggling to even find a charitable way to read your comment...
And that's a shame. I truly think that there's someone like that out there for everyone. I also think it's sad when someone doesn't find that person. I wish that fortune for everyone.

And you know -- maybe some people just aren't programmed like that. I happen to be. Maybe some people _do_ get more out of friendships than they would out of a relationship. Really very different strokes, you know? Wild.
I disagree that it's a fundamental right. Over most of history privacy has been rare for most people, with the provisio that if you really wanted a private conversation you could have one in the middle of an open field in daylight with a reasonable expectation that your conversation would not be compromised.

These days there can be no such expectation, and we need to separate out discussion of day-to-day privacy from "if bad actors intercept my communication bad things happen".

We should aggressively maintain the security of privilaged communication, and not stress so much about day to day privacy in our lives; stop gossiping and judging others for actions that do not harm others, whilst allowing them necessary privacy for transactions that should remain privilaged.
Your salary don't depend on revenue, but on how much it would cost to replace you.
>social connections failing

I have to wonder if people, and newer generations in particular, just fucking suck at socializing.

Humanity has very literally never had it easier to communicate and socialize, and yet somehow the vast majority consider themselves isolated.
> If any kind of automatic memory isn't possible/allowed, I would be reaching out for Rust

I have come to the same conclusion but then I also fear that Rust will continue to expand in scope and become a monster language like C++. Do you or anyone fear that? Is that a possibility?
One thing to keep in mind and that also calls for the the precautionary principle – it's not only does and exposure over time that determines toxicity. Different substances can cause damage during different times of development in humans. There are for example substances that can cause fetal damage if the mother is exposed to it during a specific week during pregnancy.
Ha ... recently single with two young kids. I find it actually easier to raise them (admittedly only every other week).

No more arguments about "who's turn is it to put them in bed", "why do I always have to do this" etc ... They may seem like simple questions that can easily be answered but it's really quite complex: "Had a tough day at work, could you do it?", which leads to score keeping and different views on what's a "tough" day.

Now I know I have to do 100% of it. I prefer that than to argue about it, clash over differences on how kids should be raised etc

Honestly, the way average people with an otherwise good life have to pay 150$ an hour to a therapist to help them sort out who's turn it is to do the laundry is nothing short of depressing. Try explain that to say, a rice farmer in Vietnam.

And yeah, it's not actually about the laundry but a power play between the mom & dad but that doesn't make it less depressing and certainly not easier to solve.
This happened with a higher end Cisco switch (the model escapes me) we used in our core many moons ago. Stopped passing traffic completely after a number of days.

At least Cisco told us about it themselves. We just fail-over rebooted until they fixed it.
As an additional data point -

I have ~1000 7002 cores in my home DC (8 dual socket R7525s with 48-64 cores each) that run kubernetes but are connected to a battery backup and use kexec to perform upgrades. So, while I am very bought into the cattle not pets philosophy, it's rare that any of these machines need to be turned off and I could see them being on for three years continuously without problem otherwise.
Our laws are imperfect, democracy is likely the best system but imperfect.. unless we'd have a way for Utopia where everything is perfect, fair and agreed upon, and there are never a bad actors (but then you also need to get rid of different opinions, and what that means..), then maybe full transparency (including no company secrets, no government secrets) could be a thing - but tbh this is impossible, at least for me, as infinite as the Universe is.

Taken to the extreme, wouldn't that also mean no privacy for your thoughts, brain, mind, but everything should be transparent? Welcome to the Borg, hell of an efficient society.. but not what makes life worthy... so imo no, privacy, free thought, freedom, and likely more just go together, as philosophers long established.

It is one of most foundational human rights!
Why would only software developers work-to-rule? This would be called simple sabotage. What possible gain could be derived from that? Why can't engineers unionize?
I think Apple is working on on-device LLM training. Which can fix this for privacy if they are actually handling it on-device.
I am truly puzzled by this. I understood Zig to be a very low level language like 'C'. Why would you write scripts in it?
> 'Chesterton's fence' is the principle that reforms should not be made until the reasoning behind the existing state of affairs is understood.

Marriage is the product of how many generations worth of experimenting with social contracts? You have to be either very young or lack a healthy dose of humility to think you can come up with a better system (in general, not just your case). Or, as I suspect, it's just rationalizing for not being able to build a strong, healthy, life-time relationship. I am in that category myself, as are many people of my generation from where I come from. But I don't need to fool myself I found something that works better.

Even just in theory: a friend simply does not take on the responsibility of taking care of you. He is not invested in your household's success. And I could go on but arguing theory is mostly pointless. Even if your arguments against sound perfectly logic you're missing something for sure. Because in practice marriage is just like democracy: the worst system except all the others. It has stood the test of time in practice.

And if your partner tells you that you're not number 1, that's not really your partner. Run. Now.

There's software like https://github.com/jmapio/jmap-perl you can use in front of your chosen provider but that seems like more headache than it's worth unless your imap implementation/lib is incredibly complicated.

Doing something like this is essentially a bet that your provider will eventually implement jmap.

No. Monthly subscriptions suck. Every company wants to "tax" me monthly for something that's feature complete. The ones I already pay, I do so very begrudgingly. There's simply too many SaaS products out there.

Let's go back to perpetual licenses. And I'll gladly pay for upgraded versions, or not if the upgrade isn't worthwhile. When it's not SaaS, I also get to control what version I'm using. The product doesn't own me, I get to own the product.
A security researcher finds a server-side RCE vulnerability and discloses it to security@bigcorp.net. An attacker breaks into security@bigcorp.net because the password was the IT director's dog's name.

Don't you think being able to read that disclosure would give the attacker a bit more access to bigcorp's systems than if it was encrypted?
> should acknowledge that someone named XYZ is much more likely to be a felon

The obvious problem comes with the questions why is that true and what do we do with that information. Information is, sadly, not value-neutral. We see "XYZ is a felon" and it implies specific causes (deviance in the individual and/or community) and solutions (policing, incarceration, continued surveillance), which are in fact embedded in the very definition of "felon". (Felony, and crime in general, are social and governmental constructs.)

Here's the same statement, phrased in a way that is not racist and taboo:

Someone named XYZ is much more likely to be watched closely by the police, much more likely to be charged with a crime, and much less likely to be able to defend himself against that charge. He is far more likely to be affected by the economic instability that comes with both imprisonment and a criminal record, and is therefore likely to resort to means of income that are deemed illegal, making him a risk for re-imprisonment.

That's a little long-winded, so we can reduce it to the following:

Someone named XYZ is much more likely to be a victim of overpolicing and the prison-industrial complex.

Of course, none of this is value-neutral either; it in many ways implies values opposite to the ones implied by the original statement.

All of this is to say: You can't strip context, and it's a problem to pretend that we can.

> Our mission is clear - we aim to unravel the magic of FOSS, Linux, and self-hosting to individuals seeking a break from the shackles of Big Tech.

IMO, it's not only Big Tech that poses a threat on privacy and freedom. Big Governments are other threat that, IMO, it's much harder to fight against it.
You’ve hit my Jira pet peeve, kinda - accepting the default of naming the transition the exact same as the state it goes to.

Transitions should be verbs. States should be adjectives.

So your transition should have been called “Cancel” so your modal would have had 2 cancel buttons :D

(Or yes, another term should have been picked!)
Well, I equally distrust American, Ukrainian and Russian governments. All of them showed themselves as serial liars just like lots of other governments.

When two governments give mutually exclusive statements, you can't just pick one country and say this one is always lying because that would mean that you think that another habitual liar is always telling the truth. Or you can, but that just makes you a russophobe.
You left out the last half of the quote which is just as telling to me, "and is working with the agency’s IT department to identify options to resolve the current issue.”

Their options are Jack & Shit, and Jack already left town. You think this gambling site is going to voluntarily give back the domain for pittance that this state agency could afford to offer it? You think a DMV of a state is going to come up with the funds for a highly publicized domain squabble? The public blowback from that should be intense. The agency's IT department has already shown their incompetence and lack of funding by not being able to pay the registration fees for a domain long enough for something they used on an official state "document".
Chrome Dev Tools has had that feature (for css specifically, not transpiled languages) for years. https://developer.chrome.com/docs/devtools/workspaces/

We used to have full WYSIWYG editors in browsers as far back as the 90s (including deployment via FTP). Specialized editors just seem to have always been the preference for developers.
I’ll be the one suggesting to keep the option. I haven’t tried the product yet, but I would in general expect a perpetual life time license to be some sort of license key, that can be entered into the application and verified. So that I can keep it safe, and forever proof that I own a license, thus eliminating the problem mentioned here.
IIRC the mascot is a lizard so here the comment is portraying a Zig enthusiast keen on promoting the ease of learning Zig as a lizard. That was my take.

Show HN: TodoBot is an AI coach that helps you write a better todo list
I thought I'd be more likely to do the things on my todo list if GPT-4 was watching me (fail to) do them, so I built this. Let me know what you think!
It's... not?

Three years ago, in my neck of the woods, the men typically worked in offices and the women typically worked in labs and classrooms. Then COVID happened and now the men work from home and the women... still work in labs and classrooms.

They come home socially exhausted, and at the same time we're starved for social interaction. There's no animosity in it, they just need more introvert time and we need more extrovert time.

So we invite them out, but they frequently don't come. And it's enough if a pattern that we end up talking about it. At least among my friends there's consensus that we'd be incredibly lonely if our wives were the center of our lives.

The school year is over now, and I'm overjoyed to have mine back for a while, but when she's unavailable again, thing will probably change back again. It's not perfect, I wish there was more we could do in support if our wives because it kind of feels like they're getting the short end of the stick, but it's not so bad to lovingly leave somebody alone because that's what they need right now.
You still have to memorize the "design patterns" that replace 'missing' features. Especially annoying for something like interfaces where there's a bunch of variants and people often use implementations with awful error reporting reminiscent of C++ templates.

Now, it's definitely neat that you can do reasoning from first principles on it, but I'm not sure how much of a gain that is.
The old model was tightly coupled to the CD as distribution vector—you got what came on the disk, nothing more. It was easy to understand for everyone involved, and the path of least resistance for the developers

The internet changed that, because people began to expect you to fix bugs in a released product indefinitely. Declaring that you are all done fixing bugs is now not just an obvious necessity given the infeasibility of distributing small updates on CDs, it's now a conscious decision that has to be explained to the customer in sufficiently clear terms that they don't come complaining to you later. Failing that, you just have to plan on supporting a purchase indefinitely, and the easiest way to organize that is as a subscription for a single main release channel.

JetBrains has what could be a good model for products that lend themselves to a regular release cadence—it's a subscription, but you keep the license for the version that was current on the day of your last payment. But not every product lends itself to that kind of regular, predictable release cadence.
Electroconvulsive therapy is an evidence-based intervention for certain types of depression. It should be “accessible” in every state although access to psychiatric care is often questionable unfortunately.
Greying Economies Innovate Less
That doesn't always happen though. I feel the most lonely when I'm alone with my wife. We can only have a back and forth conversation on topics that interest her, or the day to day of the house/kids, anything outside those things is just never discussed or is a one-way conversation that just dies.

I was friendless and grew up with the same 15 boys until the end of highschool, never fit in. Married the first girl who showed me attention, because whatever she had going on was better than the nothing social life I had. Breaking up with her would put me back being the lonely awkward kid at my parents house.

So now two kids and a mortgage later... realizing that being married to a 2/10 friend is very lonely. The Venn diagram of what I like to think and talk about covers what she likes to think and talk about, but we never talk about or do almost anything in my section of the diagram.

Apparently this problem has been happening since time immemorial - from a This is Love podcast...

Phoebe Judge: Many people say the first ever advice column started in the 1690s in England in a publication called The Athenian Mercury. People wrote in with very big questions like, is there a large part of the world still left to discover? The answer was just one word — yes. Someone wrote, “Who are wisest, those who marry for love or for convenience?” The answer was:

There is no degree of wisdom in either, but they're both fools if they marry for one without the other. Love without the necessary conveniences of life will soon wear
threadbare. And conveniences without love are no better than being chained to a post for the sake of a little meat, drink, and clothing. But if we compare the small degrees of each together, much love and moderate convenience is far better than the most plentiful estate with little or no love.
> mental models, each with a degree of uncertainty, to some overall business strategy

That actually sounds a lot like model based reinforcement learning. AlphaGo still had an explicit model of a perfect information game, but newer algorithms are capable of learning the rules of games like Minecraft with very little prior information.

The problem is that the real world is still much more complicated and hard to access for machines. However, I wouldn't say it is a fundamentally different problem, but rather a matter of scale. That's part of the reason why AI research spent so much effort on building game playing systems.

that's not the goal
That assumes that information is always good and that all actors are working towards a common goal. Neither of those is true.
> But the bigger ones can't have such a narrow field of view to sect like ingroup thinking without manipulation.

Why not? If billions of people can be in a religion then surely millions can be in a subreddit with some religion-like properties.

I think there is probably not a clear and useful line between manipulation and moderation. There's no neutral moderation, all mod policies and actions are towards a certain goal & vision for how the community should be. I'm not sure what fake grassroots would be but I think the upvotes and awards account for that: people know what will be rewarded and the rewards turn posting into a performance.

Anyway I'm going to point this out again because it's useful and interesting: HN behaves in these same ways to about the same degree as any large sub does. The alignment on etiquette, culture, accepted belief and punishment for deviation from it is very strong here. This indicates to me that this is somehow an emergent characteristic of large self-selecting online communities.
Common sense? Lived experience? No privacy is probably an overstatement (as absolute statements tend to be). But my experience having gone to university and living with a group of people was that you tended to learn a lot about other people's lives. And that's almost certainly more privacy than in a tribe.

Good people make perfectly good mistakes.

We have safety requirements for medical chemical (i.e., drugs). Why can't we do the same for industrials chemicals when we all know those chemicals end up in the environment, in our bodies, etc.?

It's silly (read: insulting) to hear, "...incidents of Cancer X, Cancer Y and behavior Z are increasing and we have no idea why that might be..." Good people want to know. Not so good people turn a blind eye and feign ignorance.

I'd say the first one you need to visit is Islands of Adventure in Orlando. When it opened in 1999, it really invented the idea of the IP land, a themed area dedicated to 1 IP as opposed to the standard of multiple IPs in one land (like how Tomorrowland might have Buzz Lightyear and Tron and Star Wars). IOA still has what many consider a top 5 dark ride in the world in Spiderman. And the Harry Potter area which opened in 2010 was the first what I'd call hyper immersive land where great pains are taken to make every aspect of the experience immersive, from the food (the food is all British food and not regular theme park fare), drink (butterbeer is great), environment (even though it limits the amount of people in the area, the paths are very narrow since that's how the area is in JK Rowling's world) to even the bathrooms (Moaning Myrtle makes appearances). Most new modern lands built by Universal or Disney follow this blueprint. Velocicoaster in IOA is also widely considered a top 10 coaster in the country so if that's your thing IOA has a great one.

If you had a few more days after that, I'd probably pick out a Disney park or two. It probably depends on which IPs you're interested in. Hollywood Studios has Tower of Terror and Star Wars so that would be my choice (Rise of the Resistance is the best ride I've been on in the world) but I've heard good things about the latest Guardians of the Galaxy Ride at Epcot.
