> I've seen too many tech people who genuinely believe that their tech will save the world.

I briefly was like that too. All high on TED talks and startup economy propaganda. Then, over the years, I saw all those promises fail, and I saw how and why they failed, and what we got instead.

And even earlier than that, I learned how to craft this kind of bullshit myself - how far a good story can take your worthless university project, even if at no point in telling it you were actually lying.

(I may have also spent an unreasonable amount of time pondering why technology in the real world is so shitty compared to sci-fi settings, even dystopian ones.)

So it's true that not everyone is going to trying to scam you on purpose. Some are still naive enough to believe (I say that without passing bad judgement - it would be nice if things were so simple, but they just aren't). But some are absolutely out there to get you - the regular Joe, or the regular Joe & Jane Inc. Not because they hate you, or the society you live in, but because there is monetary value that can be extracted from you, which they can put to some other use.

And yes, there are also those messiahs you mention, the people insisting their stuff can save the day, "Only if people could see how, behave in 'the right way' etc.". They are a danger to regular people too, but for the entrepreneurial/investor class, they're useful fools. They're tools that can be employed very cheaply, because they already believe the bullshit they're selling.
> This is an interesting use case, I could see why GraphQL would be useful here where the contract between frontend and backend modules is not known in full and can change often.

But that's a misconception. If your contracts between frontend and backend are not known, you cannot just "open" your backend resources to the frontend so they are queried at will. That creates a huge entanglement that is only discovered after years of maintenance (at the beginning it may seem as a huge boost in productivity, but it's just pure tech debt: the debt you pay for not designing contracts between frontend and backend)
“Child abandonment was common in the ancient world, and human sacrifice is found in many historical societies, but child sacrifice is relatively uncommon”

The whole article is about this not being well accepted by ancient authors nor by modern historians, that’s why it’s a big deal
> A diet of corn, beans, and squash is complete and balanced.

I've run this though cronometer.com (what nutritionists use) while trying different types of beans, the following vitamins/minerals came out low:

* Zinc
* Selenium
* Sodium - they probably had a source of salt
* VitB2
* VitB12 - this is abundant in unrefined surface water
* VitK

I expected magnesium to be low, due to the omission of green leafs. But corn ( I rarely eat) turn out to be a great source, and squash is not too shabby either.

Can anyone see a date on this post? Is it recent? This 2014 Guardian article seems to report a very similar revelation:

https://amp.theguardian.com/science/2014/jan/21/carthaginian...
I totally agree that it’s going to be very hard for stock photography - but is that a fair comparison? Would you have used stock photography for that presentation to begin with? A lot of the time people tend to just use copyright stuff for presentations because it’s just internal / client presentation use.

For that kind of thing - just explaining an idea - midjourney is amazing. So much faster than making something in photoshop and so much more accurate than google searching.

I think the real issues for stock libraries is when midjourney starts replacing actual output. This is starting to happen but still very early. It’s gonna get a lot worse!

I think it’s because many people are quite deeply invested in crypto, and the result is that they can be extremely emotional and irrational. Efforts to regulate crypto and make it “not a scam” essentially means they will have wasted tens/hundreds of thousands of dollars and that is embarrassing and shameful.

They’re locked into irrationally promoting crypto because it’s the only way to protect their “investments” and their dignity.
Child sacrifice hooks into some very deep and dark aspects of human psychology that we have yet to unpack. There is a reason that this practice crops up in various civilizations seemingly independently, and it is not a pretty one - at least not by contemporary moral sensibilities.

It is impossible to understand the biblical narrative of the binding of Isaac, for example, without addressing the context in which such a narrative was popularized and eventually codified into a sacred text.

> It's not hard to find accounts of people who say they're 2x, 3x, 5x more efficient in their work now.

What does "making some one 5x more efficient" actually mean anyway? Does it makes people enjoy their lives more, or it just makes few people work harder while leaving the others hanging without income?

Let me bring up another point just popped up in my head: AI don't really need to be the perfect replacement to a human worker for them to replace the human worker, instead, it just need to be good enough to make economical sense for the employer to switch labor strategy.

We the market has already been trained to accept reduced product quality during the past decades as companies adjusting their production strategies. It is only reasonable to assume that we will accepting it further.

So even if AI technology cannot maintain the same level of quality standard we often suffer today, it is still well within the realm of possibility that companies will just replace their workers with AI and then expect the market to lower it's expectations more.

> The stakes here are high. The opportunities are profound.

I guess time will tell...

While I at it, another thing:

> AI will not destroy the world, and in fact may save it.

Well, you can save the world many many times over, and then you can still save it once more and even more. But the world can't really take too many destruction. One or two extinction level events might just done it for good.

Also, AI don't even need to be sentient or have the ability to reason it's way towards world destruction. In fact, it might not even know what the f it's doing, all it needs is the capability to do so and some calculations to line things up.

I'm not really very optimistic about it, obviously.

First principles thinking combined with patteen matching is really good when you are trying to find solutions to problems with limited and known domain boundaries: e.g. debugging software, fixing an electronic circuit, etc.

Many problems don't have a fixed or even a known domain boundary. If you e.g. apply to an art school as a painter, most of the stuff that can make or break your application is outside of the bounds of what you can know and/or influence. E.g. who else is applying, who will review your application and for how long, what experiences they had with similar students etc. That means you can do everything right and still fail. Same is true for a lot of things.
What I find interesting about apple devices is that despite what you said, the engineering is usually top notch and beats most competitors.
For example, I use an iPad Pro for hand writing notes. I don't care about iOS or any other fancy feature there might be, I have this device purely for writing notes. But the interesting thing is that I haven't found any other tablet that does specifically the hand writing as good as this one.
It turns that specific aspect into a unique selling point for me and it almost seems like the competition has given up in terms of that.
With this device I could see a similar thing. Regardless of whether this brings any new features over the competition, the engineering seems to be outstanding. Because of that I could see people buy this for a specific use case that it excels at, all the while not using it for "everything".
Somewhat of a ramble but I hope I could bring my point across.
Indeed, I just checked, it's not the entire Steam community site. Looks like it's a per-subcommunity (per-game?) setting whether the community section is open to the public or not. Luckily there's a lot of content that's not behind a login wall.
What I've seen most is the line put above the vowel, resulting in animē (but difficult to type). As there is no additional (fourth) syllable, a-ni-mee would be more logical to me, rather than a-ni-me-ee or a-ni-me-e.

That being said, I like how the triple vowel makes it clear it's not the same sound as in say meet. (This gives me the idea to change my name to tuuukkkah...)
As much as I like to distrust ML algorithms to give exact, reliable results, here I actually think that a random picture that aims to be a QR code that is also drawn manually will have much lower chance of QR code recognition code than ML-generated one, because it's hard to manually restrict the work so that it is reliably recognizable by many QR implementations while also "integrating" QR code features with art features so that they are not obviously two independent layers one laid on top of another.
> But what we all want is a larger investment in games so the Mac becomes a competitive platform again.

As a Mac-only user, I really don’t care about games. I guess it’s cool if they work on it, but I wouldn’t want Apple diverting resources away from other areas to try and make it a gaming device.
'alive' and 'conscious' are very far apart semantically though, and it's quite possible that something can be 'not alive' by our normal definition of alive and yet that it can attain consciousness.

But switching it off isn't the same as murdering it, you can switch it back on again just as easily, and you can do all of the CRUD operations on it as well as copying, versioning and checkpointing.
> GraphQL doesn't allow for recursive types.

It does, this schema works:

type Item {
id: ID!
children: [Item!]!
}

type Query {
root: Item!
}

GraphQL queries describe the shape of the response, so with this schema it's not possible to ask recursively for "the full tree up to an arbitrary depth". One way to solve this would be to add a "descendants" field that returns a list of all the children, grand-children...
The way to solve session management is to just store the state in html forms and send it back to a stateless http endpoint. That way you get a website that behaves the way all websites work, and can scale easily.
Apple is only providing this as a developer tool, to help simulate existing Windows games on macOS such that they can be ported more easily. Apple won't officially support a "Windows-Rosetta", this is not meant for users and won't ever be supported on iOS/iPadOS.

Occam's razor.

Even at non-relativistic speeds self replicating robots could have visited every star system in the galaxy within a few tens of millions of years. We haven't seen any evidence.

Everyone has the most advanced cameras in history in their phones and there's exactly zero indisputable pictures of UFOs, ghosts, fairies, chupacabras, Nessie, Bigfoots, Yetis, and so on.

If aliens can travel even a light year, they almost certainly also have the technology to not crash.
I actually expected the opposite TBH.

Not because Meta had a better product, but Apple putting its might into this product category means that "Meta" is vindicated in investing here -- that there exists / will exist a viable market for this technology in coming years.

All the damage done by the poor quality 3D renders of AR/VR worlds from Metaverse -- that made a layperson laugh at the concept of AR/VR -- is probably partly offset by the positive press and marketing budgets that Apple will bring to the table.
That's a very long way to say "I don't want to admit I was wrong".
Note that if you are looking for a decent RarBG alternative, a semi-private tracker like TorrentLeech is a good place to be. They are currently accepting RarBG refuges. You will however be expected to seed a torrent for 10 days or upload until 1.0 ratio. I will also recommend to new users to seed as much as they can and to only download freeleech torrent until you get enough torrent ratio credits.

Impressive work, Shahar and Tal! Keep simplifies the process of creating application alerts by enabling developers to write them in plain text, saving time and improving efficiency.

This is a really good writeup of a very complicated topic. Thank you.

This kind of thing there's a lot that needs to be kept in mind, I've never done a live database migration before to this scale. I'm a beginner with distributed systems but I find them highly interesting.

I feel that along of the work that was done in this article should have been the responsibility of a Kubernetes operator.

My dream is multimaster databases that mean we don't need to have so much pain in doing database migrations. I wrote an eventually consistent Python socket server that asynchonously streams messages to its replicas. I use a client side timestamp to provide global ordering. In theory if two servers had differing system clocks, they could cause the causality of messages to be the wrong way round in a strict sense. But ALL replicas shall agree on the ordering, server agreement among replicas that are caught up is deterministic. If the servers are not caught up, a server shall serve a stale value or a value that only that replica knows about.

The database essentially uses event sourcing and takes the last write to determine victory.

Here's a diagram of a log where the cluster bounced between values, it's a very big diagram you'll have to zoom in. You can see states that were forks of the true cluster agreed value.
https://github.com/samsquire/eventually-consistent-mesh/blob...

I wrote a Jepsen test that because it is not linerarizable, it fails.

My script abandons the C(onsistency) of CAP and maintains (A)vailability and (P)artition tolerance. It assumes the network shall heal and the replication shall resume. In PACELC theory in During normal operation it prefers Availability during Partitions and Else Latency in normal operations.

How do you build a system around a database where values can no longer be valid at any time? If I kick off a process in the database with a value that was only reported by one replica that was partitioned away from the majority of the network, what do I do?

My immediate thoughts are to create dependency relationships to values that are on the agreed path, data that is based on a failed branch is not valid.

"The decline is associated with increased misery". Apparently life in Russia during the Soviet years was jolly in comparison!
A very expensive OLED… I’d be willing to bet the one piece front glass element costs Apple several hundred dollars each… and where anyone else would use standard lenses and optical windows over the tracking cameras, visual cameras, and LiDAR systems… because Apple were making the EyeSight feature a big part of the industrial design, they had to make it “come together”… they had to waste hundreds on a pointlessly rounded piece of ludicrously over complicated glass…

I made the joke that Apple probably put more time and money into the optical engineering and design of this overpriced ski goggles style one piece optical assembly than the cost of designing a space telescope (excluding mega projects like Hubble & JWST aside, of course) …
Keep in mind that when the CISC vs RISC distinction was coined, the predominant architectures were things like IBM System/370 and VAX. System/370 has an instruction that inserts an item into a heap. (and modern Z/Architecture is worse: there are instructions like "compute the HMAC of this data" where the MAC algorithm is in a register.) VAX had an instruction that computed the roots of a polynomial.

The world is very different now. RISC won, and it won hard. x86 got a lot more registers, and most of the baroque instructions are no longer used because they got relegated to microcode. As it's used, it's much closer to Berkeley RISC than it is to VAX or S/370. ARM is even more so: the only instructions that touch memory are loads and stores.

As a rough approximation, "simple" instructions can be implemented in a reasonable amount of silicon without microcode, and complex instructions can't.
Crypto is just crypto.

But it was hyped up to be the future, cure cancer, end poverty etc.

And now none of that has materialised it is just being hyped "down".

People are understandably disappointed or disillusioned. But unbridled pessimism is no more realism that unbridled optimism.

You see the same basic "roller coaster" with other "phenomenon". Elon Musk was a god, now he is the devil. Obama had the same Hope->Disappointment thing. Self driving cars, fusion (and fission) power, various climate accords, there are many examples. AI is the current biggest bubble.

To speculate wildly: I think it is caused by a mix of the same bubble-forming forces you see in financial markets AND a sort of In-Group psychology of humans where they value "being on the right side" (where popular=right) very highly.

Crypto is a strong example but not unique I think.

It's concerning that people on HN are not introspective enough to see what their own psychology is doing to them, but the same applies to me some times. Minds are slippery...
Yeah, just run away from Spring or JBoss. I'd probably jump to something else too if forced to wait 3 minutes for something to even compile.

Kind of difficult as you will always see those kids trying all kinds of magic with a language instead of razor sharp focus on the problem itself to be solved.

Anyways, I guess everyone passes through those phases of growth. Also unreasonable to remain like a dinosaur refusing to learn what else new is coming up.
I don't mean this in the context of training, but a "photographer" already using a trained model to apply on the video.

What the AI/model then needs to do is to extract the subject - person specific features and combine that with trained data. For that, artifacts/motion blur isn't a huge problem.

And people get completely sucked into those few sq. inches of screen, tuning off from the real world.

In my life it got to a point with some friends where I introduced the idea of everyone taking their phones out and putting them face down on a stack on the table, if you really need to check your phone for something important one has to voice out "I need to check my phone", taking a break from hanging out to check it. It annoys me to no end when in the middle of a conversation someone takes their phone out just to check a message, or Instagram, or any kind of trivial notification, and end up lost in it for a few minutes, it's been really great to make them more aware of the behaviour as it completely tunes me off from a conversation seeing someone you're trying to communicate with staring intensely into their screens.

At least in VR I know that they aren't present, easier to adjust, with phones it just annoys me absolutely.
I agree with you both!
