Well, software has changed a lot. Almost every software platform that I can think of gets continuous updates.
@ixgr Exactly. Thank you.
Well OK, I was more speaking in the context of a reading lamp. And I wanted more to point out that an LED lamp with smooth color and brightness spectrums allows for you to find a better sweet spot for comfortably reading at night.
Ye it doesn't make sense. These rule of thumbs need the implied "too much" in them from the get go, or people will use them to silly extremes in the wrong ways. That applies all too well to programmers.

No, even when the efficiency rules go into effect, using noncompliant bulbs will not be illegal. Stock up on your inefficient bulbs before August, and you can use them as long as you like.
Corn is a type of grass. So is sugarcane. (The article is about switchgrass, not generic grass)

I know attempts have been made to use more than just the corn seed into ethanol. The big disadvantage is that you take away a lot of nutrients from the soil forever. Sulphur for example doesn't go back, and so the more of the plant you take away, the more you have to add back as fertilizer .
If I can still make money on an impaired version of the original, why should I be forced to let the copyright go?
Yes. Historians believe that Buddhism was the first major schism in Hindu philosophy. (Buddhism subscribes to a different karmic philosophy than Hinduism, and as such totally eschews the Hindu caste system). When Buddhism flourished in India, most of the lower caste Hindus converted to Buddhistm because it allowed them social mobility that was previously prohibited to them. Many entered into trades and professions that were earlier barred to them because of the rigidity of the Hindu caste system. Once the Hindu kings regained dominance, Buddhism started to decline in India due to lack of political patronage and persecution. Castiesm again became pervasive in India. This lead to many Buddhists converting voluntarily to Islam because Islam, like Buddhism, strongly prescribes equality irrespective of the ethnicity or previous of the convert. This allowed the former "untouchables" to retain their social mobility. This is why India, where Buddhism once flourished and was a source from where it spread to the world, has so little followers now.
Ask HN: Has the Mood Changed?
I have been reading this page for some time now- comments more than anything. Do you think the „mood“ or „vibe“ has changed?

I sense a strong shift over the last 5 years towards more critical thinking and sceptisim which i think is an improvement. Downsides are growing bitterness, conspiracy theories and doomerism.

Startups seem to have lost appeal, everybody wants to work in big tech but no one loves it. YC is hardly a thing now. Gladly, nobody pretends to like VCs anymore. Self-improvement blog posts are decreasing (good bye spead reading). Do you agree? What else have you noted- good or bad?
WHYYYY?

You are approaching the territory of describing enslavement in your description.
I have two things about trust.

The first is that trust is earned over time. I trust nobody and nothing until I have had enough experience with them to understand if, and how, they can be trusted. Which leads to the second point...

Nobody and nothing is 100% trustworthy in every circumstance. Such perfection does not exist, period. When I say I "trust" someone, what I mean is that I think I know them well enough to have a handle on what they can be trusted about, and under what circumstances.

It cuts off there every time.

But when I ask it to write a parody of the opening of Moby Dick, and then ask it to correct the first sentences so that they match exactly, it is able to repeat the first paragraph. Maybe it can detect that it's just repeating user input and not accessing actual published text when it does that.
Don't let facts stand in your way to senseless propaganda. The textbooks are all available online.

TLDR: Nature and most other western publications failed to do basic fact check, neither periodic table or evolution are 'cut' from textbooks. They're just moved to a different grade.
I don't think there's a big issue with an unreliable tutor; a Harvard professor can spit out incorrect information, too. It's up to the learner to cross-check and verify the information. If you're uncritically ingesting facts from some other intelligence (artificial or otherwise), you won't be learning much anyway. The best lessons come when you make connections between different bits of information, so if an unreliable tutor forces you to make more of those connections in the process of checking its work, so be it.

Why the hell can't all of them be held accountable? Seriously, why are they only able to hold one company accountable? What are their limitations? What were their criteria to single out the one company? The SEC just charged multiple crypto companies that everyone knew charges were coming. They were able to avoid the "why just one" by not charging just one.

Seriously, why the hell?
Ok where did they buy 3 HEPa filters for $70?
How does this stack up in terms of noise versus the one in the OP?
Right, I'm saying they aren't dumb. If what you are saying is true they would have to not only be dumb, but barely have human level intelligence. You believe that your friends and neighbors are completely incompetent at things that are trivially easy, and they have no hope of ever figuring it out on their own.

You are actually claiming that there are tens of millions of adult humans, who have lived 20, 30 years, and are literally incapable of procuring one pot. You are saying they can't independently manage to acquire the cooking skills to boil rice. It's just absurd.

Meanwhile those same people are statistically obese. Somehow despite living without electricity, money, pots, illiterate and 50 miles from the nearest grocery store they eat enough to be obese (can you explain how they get enough food to eat too much despite it being impossible for them to acquire groceries at all?) and yet it is unreasonable to think they might boil an egg.
Yes

I would humbly suggest that in future you try to avoid using rhetorical questions to make a point when the rhetorical question can be answered by google.

The fact that these rhetorical questions carry what appears to be a distinctly anti environmental agenda doesnt exactly make this incuriosity better.

As I mentioned in some other comments, I settled on a lamp with a fully adjustable color and brightness. It’s lots of diodes, and the net effect is very nice.

In other words, I’m agreeing with your article that the fixed bulbs typically don’t hit the mark.
People love making things up, now you're doing it about my intentions. It seems like evidence is out the window for everything.

The evidence is only that I expressed interest in a source. The rest is your fabrication. Have a good day!
Not all of them. Did you forget that open source software exists? Or just good old hobbyists.
In the context of "third places" (which excludes work/schools and homes), there's a pretty seismic shift in churches from the historical norm of virtually 100% attendance.

This is not going to save you completely unfortunately. You still need to know if a flat is a flat tyre, a flatbed, or an apartment.

“Oust Trump”? Are you under the impression that Trump is still in office from which he could be ousted?
> Coincidently, increasing EV sales threatens ethanol production, so there are calls for increasing ethanol in fuels to compensate.

I already have to search out "clear" gas to gain back the 25% mpg loss I receive when I use ethanol (currently 15% I believe in Oregon?).

I fear what adding more will do. if I don't use clear gas, I have to run my car a lot more often, which is also not good.

Change just happens, you need to be on top of it, to not miss things like this. This isn't going to have a technological solution.
Your last point is critical. People at the end of the 20th century had come to “trust the science” because it conferred tangible power on those who wielded it. “Science” could send a man to the moon or a bounce a phone call off a satellite to the other side of the world. Your average person doesn’t have to understand the rocket equation, or trust NASA. They can watch a launch in Florida and see with their own eyes the awesome power of “science.”

Then, folks started invoking the authority of “science” in connection with disciplines that don’t confer tangible power. For example, if “education science” worked, we would know it. It would convey power the results of which people could see with their own eyes without needed to pore through studies, or putting any faith in “education experts.”

Thoughts on Apples Viewfinder
When I wrote the comment, I was envisioning the current world, but with some bluetooth type protocol that cars could use to send beacons to help other cars near it.

The most basic example of how this could be helpful is if the car ahead of you turns a sharp corner and crashes into a truck stopped in the road. Without car-to-car networking, you won't brake until the crash is in your line of sight.

Have you ever seen those youtube videos of massive car pile ups on highways caused by a crash, and then a cascade of additional crashes afterwards? E.g. icy conditions or dense fog. What if the original crash could communicate to cars behind it, wouldn't that be helpful if the crash isn't yet in the driver's (or car's) line of sight?

I agree "not much would change" overnight. It's just another input for the car's software to have at its disposal.

With the current hardware on the roads, I don't think it's technically possible for autos to achieve legitimate self-driving (if that's even the goal anymore?) - there are way too many edge cases that are way too difficult to solve for with just software.

If you are a good music nerd, then you know that bossa nova is the bomb and the absolute best thing out there. From there you know about Caetano Veloso, Jorge Ben Jor, Astrud Gilberto and all the other giants from Brazil and that came about during that era.

In the case of COVID+HIV, though, even the "totalitarian solution" to the problem wouldn't need to involve locking anyone up for non-compliance. We're lucky enough to live in an age where we've invented things like injectable slow-release intramuscular gel-matrix drug-delivery systems.

So someone noncompliant would be potentially forcefully subdued (probably by police), so that a doctor could then administer them a one-time shot of antiretroviral drugs (without their consent), that would slowly leach into their body over one or several months, treating them all the while. As soon as that single shot is in their body and treating them, they'd be released.

Keep in mind that the goal here wouldn't be to make them HIV-free. Just to get their immune system working long enough to get them COVID-free. They can go back to having HIV if they want; HIV isn't an epidemic risk. So they don't need to be held captive for regular maintenance injections.
I think the whole security thing of relying on dynamic linking is a red herring.

It is neither necessary nor sufficient. It will miss private dynamic libraries, Docker containers, potentially virtual envs.

And it has a huge cost in terms of maintenance and backwards compatibility.

In a world where we have regular builds from source, this model really doesn't have a place.
This is unbelievably wrong. Deepmind has probably the best academic group in RL. The difference between Deepmind and OpenAI is that Deepmind favors academic endeavours and novelty much more, while completely ignoring any commercialization or products, while OpenAI is the stark opposite in that they almost entirely focus on products first, and typically their academic endeavours are just slight modifications of other works scaled up.

Don't get me wrong, Sutskyver (et al) has done incredibly good work previously, but when it comes to the products, they're much more engineering and marketing polish than scientific endeavours.

Botvinick's work on metaRL for example is an interesting direction that Deepmind has shown that few other companies that are only interested in engineering would venture towards.
Even a single false positive would be too many, as it would probably break the entire site.

The answer cannot be consistent because the question is underspecified. Ask humans and you will not get the same answer.

(Though in this case it sounds like Bard just did crazy maths.)
In testing LLMs it’s also still fair to test that it can recall and integrate its vast store of latent knowledge about things like this. Just so long as you’re fully aware that you’re doing a multi-part test, that isn’t solely testing pure reasoning.
There's a handy rule of thumb for this: is the number of seconds per minute (60 aka 2*2*3*5) a weird, random-sounding number that's way too easy to make clean subdivisions out of[0], rather than a nice, math-hostile power of ten? Then it's probably already in American units, unless it's British.

Picnic Has a New Look; You Give It the Vibe
It works totally perfect, just go to the garbage dump that is android store and compare.
OK, confession time Picnickers. We felt like we needed to switch up our style just a bit. Allow us to explain.

If you opened the Picnic app recently (as in, today) you may have noticed we’ve made a few changes. Changes we made based on YOUR feedback, and ones that will help make Picnic the best place for you to be yourself, create content, and connect with Circles you hang out in.

We could sit here and write a ton of words about what we did (we call it User Experience/User Interface in the biz), but seeing is believing. So we made this sizzling video. You can watch it right here.

Your app should have automatically updated to the new style, but if it hasn’t, just load up the Google Play or Apple App Store. You’ll find the update there. Then you can go right back to posting, creating, hanging out, and making the sort of stuff that makes Picnic the coolest corner of the internet.

Here’s a quick run down of major changes you’ll see.

Updates to chatting and in-app chats
Posting is now easier and more streamlined
Circles have a new look and share more relevant content
AI Pods are easier to find and implement in Circles

Yes, Picnic has a new look; but it’s YOU who gives it the vibe we love.

As always, we’d love to hear what you think — and you can do that by messaging us on Picnic or by chatting in the Circles with each other. We’re listening, and so far we’ve heard all sorts of good things. We’d love to hear more, so don’t be shy.
This sounds very much like... prelink?
Every single year we have severe wikdfire smoke in Montana (and much of the mountain west) from August to September and sometimes into October. Never mentioned in national media.

But when the same thing happens in NYC we have screaming headlines about how terrible the air quality is.
My understanding is that this isn't due to a lack of controlled burns but actually due to an unseasonally warm winter not killing bugs that attack and kill trees, leaving an excessive amount of dead wood to burn this year. No amount of controlled burning of the years before would prevent a lot of dead trees this year making for kindling.

I can't see any combination, length of time burned or length of time to gather the material, where it takes 60 hours to get a fire that outputs as much light as a single lightbulb over one hour.
Again, it does not matter. Open your eyes

This is environmental crime. And when there is a crime, there is a benefit for criminals. Saying that if we burn some, here and there, the criminals will stop, is like saying that if we paint the banks in a nice pastel tone and put a banner asking politely not to rob, the bank robbers will agree to stop and go away.

Europe tried that in the past repeatedly. It didn't worked. Even worse, the trend is increasing among farmers manipulated by extreme European political currents that overlap extensively the Putin and Trump speeches. Places of Europe that never had a problem with wildfires started to burn since a couple of years. We hear political parties trow the first stone and claim that environmental laws are unfair. Just one week later, the place burns down magically. Is environmental boycott, and will not stop until we stop them or remove the benefits.

Either we wake up and strike back, or we accept that the extinction whirl will be much closer than we expected, and much faster than we can adapt.
There are lots of compiler bugs. The further you stray from the common use cases the more likely you are to hit them.

There are also an appreciable number of hardware bugs. Some of the complexity in compilers is working around those so that applications don't need to.

Your own compiler, assuming it emits machine code and avoids documented and undocumented hardware bugs, can be error free.
DOM was a mistake to say. Being html & hypermedia was my main point. Being a part of the page, not the JS that livens the page.
Systems code is extremely prone to slowing down into a "legacy" maintenance project because it's at the base of what software does - not the future itself, but a vehicle to arrive in the future with. To make a vehicle that can arrive, you also have to live with a past decision about how it's designed, or else you've already started over in trying to redesign it.

I don't think Linux is unique in that, just uniquely visible: it's allowed the barriers to entry to steadily rise to favor corporate contributors instead of allowing a faster break to a streamlined mechanism. I hate it, but I don't see it as a project-specific issue, because big projects in open-source routinely develop an unwelcoming level of complexity, it's just a "pick your poison" kind of deal.

Aiming for an intentionally small project is also hard, but for different reasons: you have to have a pretty good sense of your philosophy to not end up either being a useless toy that nobody uses as a serious vehicle or falling right back into mindless accumulation.
At least they've produced tangible value unlike black holes of money like the Human Brain project which has delivered close to nothing in multiple decades despite billions of dollars in investment.

Naw. Projects like these are useful reninders that 25 years of mitigation easily save a few weeks of initial design.
