> With plants, there's the option of following fruitarianism and just eating plant material that falls off such as fruit. (Fruit is unusual when it comes to being consumed as it arguably "wants" to be eaten so that the parent plant can better distribute its seeds). There's problems with following such a fruit heavy diet though and I don't think it's a good idea by itself.

I guess this is why it's so complicated (and you can't get off the scale). From the perspective of the fruiting plant - I agree with you, it doesn't mind if you eat some fruit. From the perspective of each seed, they'd probably rather you didn't.

And interestingly - if we're willing to go multi-body (since we're admitting that eating fruit is bad for some seeds, but possible advantageous to the species as a whole) I think you'd have to make the same argument for herd animals: It might be bad for a single deer to be eaten, but it's pretty good for the herd if someone happens to remove the weakest single member every now and then.

Anyways... I'm rambling at this point. Not sure why you're getting downvoted but long story short: I hope people acknowledge and respect the things they eat (plants, animals, or other), I'd love to see us move back a step from the automated and industrial production methods we're using right now (Both animals and plants - monoculture crops are a real ecosystem killer) and work to make food something that is local and folks can connect with.
Why not? If you can make a functional LLM it's a fairly small step to an LCM (Large Culture Model) and LEM (Large Emotion Model) as submodules in a LBM (Large Behavioural Model).

The only difference is the tokens are rather more abstract. But there's really nothing special about novelty.

If you have a model of human psychology and culture, there isn't even anything special about cultural novelty fine-tuned to tickle various social, intellectual, and emotional receptors.
This is a step in the right direction.

On the other hand the proposed large-scale farming of Octopus in the Canary Islands is a step in the wrong direction:

The examples that you’ve given (obeying traffic laws and wearing masks during pandemic l) seem to be perfectly good social behaviors.

It’s a balancing act between freedom and law. Go one way too far - you get Tiananmen Square and reeducation camps. Go another way too far - you get storming the White House and school shootings.

"But you can train it however you want!" is the main counterargument I hear against this (alas, my strawman).

Sure, you could, assuming accessible resources to decent compute nodes and good training data, but something tells me that this will be in the hands of a very few.

Also, even if decent AI remains affordable for most people, most people will still mindlessly take the default route of a corporate/government pushed apps.
Lockdowns would've 'worked' if everyone did it, hard and fast, at the same time. They obviously become less effective if the initial spread is not suppressed, then it becomes whack-a-mole. A lot of possible pandemics have been stopped this way, we just don't know about them because they were stopped.

The concept is no different putting in fire breaks to stop a forest fire - isolate the infected, infection burns itself out, end of pandemic without need for global vaccination campaign.

Lockdowns are a good idea at the beginning, bad idea in the middle, inconsequential idea at the end
That page is very out of date. They did later adopt a build step and switch to using JSX in much of the FF DevTools codebase.

As an example, here's the Editor main component (same "latest" commit you pointed to):

https://github.com/mozilla/gecko-dev/blob/aec3a901e6f6b3041b...

The codebase is a mish-mash of very old-style React+Redux code, with newer files and usages.

(I know this because I work at Replay.io, which started as a fork of the FF DevTools source, and we spent all of last year modernizing our fork :) Migrated the entire codebase to TS, ripped out all remaining uses of the ancient `React.DOM` helper functions and converted those to JSX, modernized the 2015-era Redux logic, etc: https://github.com/replayio/devtools/pulls?q=is%3Apr+sort%3A... )

SEC is supposed to tell them what is a security and what isn’t so they can refrain from selling them. Exchanges have been asking for clarification over and over. So far the only thing the SEC said on the subject is that BTC in not a security but nothing about the other cryptos.

In the absence of regulatory clarity Coinbase have devised their own framework to classify what tokens aren’t securities and proceeded to list them. I don’t know how you can blame them. It’s the SEC’s job to tell them what they can trade and what they can’t but they refuse to do it.

Sensation is perception related to direct contact, so for humans for example it would include the senses of touch, pain, and taste, among others.
Oh boy oh boy oh boy, this brings back sweet & sour memories: about 10 years I had this idea of a web site for programmer/hacker types, even bought hackerstyle.com. It would have suggestions that you could select and also would include an “outfit compiler” that would process your selections to check for matching colors, fashion sense, etc. I got super hyped about this, and evidently had enough of a reality distortion field to convince a colleague to apply to YC with the idea.

You guessed it: we couldn't even make it to the interview round, she moved to CA and is now a successful director at Instacart, and I’m here reminiscing on a late lunch break.

With a single NVIDIA 3090 and the fastest inference branch of GPTQ-for-LLAMA https://github.com/qwopqwop200/GPTQ-for-LLaMa/tree/fastest-i..., I get a healthy 10-15 tokens per second on the 30B models.

I don't know about you, but Uber has significantly improved ride-sharing for me, along with countless other aspects of life such as government services, interpersonal communication, and education.

Trying to refurbish a carburetor for an old Japanese bike. I gotta say the long feedback cycles are challenging. With unit tests you get immediate gratification of seeing things work or not. With carbs, you gotta clean 'em, assemble them carefully get them back on the bike, connect the fuel system THEN try to start. Nothing. A multitude of things can be wrong. It's been challenging.

I find this subject fascinating. As the article states, Navy pilots are on record as eye witnesses for this stuff, along with the various radar feeds, etc. I'm curious what HN thinks of the following:

There are 3 comprehensive possibilities (correct me if you think differently):

1. These crafts are ET origin

2. These crafts are human origin (secrete military tech or similar)

3. This is a psyop

Due to the supposed feeds and eye witness accounts, it seems infeasible there is a 'weather balloon' type explanation

Any of these 3 possibilities is very interesting. I have my own take for what is most likely. But I'd like to hear thoughts of others.

We do really really need to figure out how to better syndicate & share everyday efforts at tech, those doing maybe humble things but toiling for better.

Glad to see articles like this. Very real tension; I believe so much in progress but so much tech is esoteric or arcane. Getting good spirited efforts out & appreciable is saintly work that will keep this planet spinning. A necessary start for getting humanity socially reconnecting with this pool of potential.
> Scientific experimentation is the least bad thing we do to animals.

Ruff is an excellent base linter because it takes care of essential stuff and has sane default while integrates well without much work.

It's not going to replace pylint, but pylint is hard to configure and slow.

There is overlap between ruff checks and what's eliminated by black though, since ruff implemented flake8 rules first and a lot of them are PEP8 oriented.

Also, note that ruff is also a fast import sorter, faster than isort. But it's not a 1:1 match to isort (no fly to top, some formatting are different).

All in all, I would advice to use it if you are not used to linters, or if you don't feel like going full bazooka on a project.

It's has a very good cost/benefit ratio give how lighweight and easy to use it is.

It's absolutely crazy and akin to asking a bootcamp dev to make Twitter after they created a "twitter-clone" client.

Even if they had them, what's the benefit of revealing them? It's a national security advantage. If anything, admit we have them and let our enemies freak out over it.
Don't forget about the good ol' tech industry bait-and-switch. Quoting myself from earlier today:

> There's the good ol' bait-and-switch of tech industry you have to consider. New tech is promoted by emphasizing (and sometimes overstating) the humane aspects, the hypothetical applications for the benefit of the user and the society at large. In reality, these capabilities turn out to be mediocre, and those humane applications never manifest - there is no business in them. We always end up with a shitty version that's mostly useful for the most motivated players: the ones with money, that will use those tools to make even more money off the users.

It applies to Apple's automated emotion reading, and it applies even more to major VCs telling us AI will Save the World. As in, maybe it could, but those interests being involved are making it less likely.
The only popular fashion (if you can even call it that) I've ever observed with any consistency is "hoodie" and "graphic tee". More rare, but worth noting, is shorts-when-its-pants-weather. The lack of dress-code just translated into whatever a person would be wearing if they had stayed at home.

Mac uses own API, Metal. Windows uses own API, DirectX.

OpenGL is legacy on Mac. OpenGL relies on a legacy ICD ABI on Windows.

Vulkan uses MoltenVK on Mac. Vulkan either uses legacy OpenGL ICD ABI on Windows, or relies on DirectX 12 translation layer, while WSL relies on dxgkrnl, a VM host driver that translates GL/Vulkan into DirectX as well.

Pretty much alike.
Actually, if you took "sentience" seriously, you would also need to ban any captivity or killing.
That depends on the definition of "alive". Fruits don't respire which a lot of definitions include. And yes, it's going to be an arbitrary line.

Nvidia/Nouveau is a good example. I've had a number of laptops with nvidia graphics. For most of that time Nouveau was _more stable_ than the official nvidia drivers. Linux clearly was a second class citizen for nvidia for most of the last 20 years. Maybe go back and rewatch linus' rant about nvidia if you need a reminder about how terrible they have been historically.

Nvidia now only sort of cares about linux because of gpgpu applications. They still clearly don't care about gaming on linux; or desktop stability.

Yes, I will take Nouveau over the official drivers whenever I can.
Sentient is such an ambiguous term. The dictionary definition just means having a basic awareness and ability to sense - even roundworms qualify.

Animals like Octopuses are in another category entirely than crabs and lobsters, it's honestly weird to group them together.
The article is a big set of -opinions- with no true -fact- at support.

The actuals -AI- are mainly LLM systems, and are quite far away from being intelligent, but actually -capable- in some areas.
The misuse of these (and others) -capable- systems suredly will not save the world, but will probably only help some usual little privileged part of it.

Not a single tech will "save" the world, but the meaning of what we make in the world.
Tech is a tool, not a goal, and the way -AI- and others tech is described is more close to a goal (or a religion) in itself than one of the tools we must create ad learn to use.

Science + Humanity (Compassion? Love? Friedship? chose yours) will help to save something.

It doesn't matter that it's better than WebP, because that isn't the alternative. The alternative that browsers have shipped is AVIF. JPEG XL's advantage over AVIF is less significant. It's not a clear win, but diminishing returns and nice-to-have features vs AVIF's wider deployment and head start in AV1 implementations.
One of the great things we are capable of as humans is NOT doing what has always been done just because. People who think that is a justification or clever quip could be argued to be barbaric and without any creative imagination.

The Day One Disney+ and Disney interest in the keynote to me reads like Apple are hinting that they have a much more aggressive consumer timeline than "a few years down the road". I'm very curious what Apple is thinking/betting here.
> And complaining about how people can't behave feels reasonable to me when people aren't following the rules.

The customer service side of me wants to agree with you. But we both know in reality that yelling at customers never ends the way we desire. I guess that's the primary issue. It FEELS right but I have long since learned this isn't how you deal with people if your goal is a civil community. But ofc reddit does tend to strongly go off of gut feelings.

In addition, many of reddit's moderation tools are designed to be hostile to the user, and only got more hostile overtime. It's not made with the intention to clean up spam and ignore the trolls, but to chastise others at large and belittle them. The old trick where you punish the class because the class clown acted up... except you may never even see the clown in this case. Some troll in some subthread in a 1000 comment post acting up? Better lock the entire post so no one can discuss.

It's no wonder it becomes so easy for users to disdain the moderators when they use those tools.

> The post being removed surprised me but then again, I don't know that there's really an actionable legal question here, so it was mostly just a lightning rod.

I imagine that's why that user made the post there. If you were punished for not knowing your legal rights in your area than I question why the sub exists.

Granted, I'm also biased in that I feel the internet is the worst place to get legal nor medical advice, and any legal/medical issue should be answered with Contact a Lawyer/Doctor.

This is where the 3D aspect is cool. The same way that we look at old newsreels and feel sort of chronologically alienated by how "retro" they look - simply because of the medium - the 2D recordings we are making nowadays will similarly look quaint to people that have become used to 3D. So, Vision Pro has the opportunity to set the tone for the next generation of fundamental media experience.

> From the perspective of each seed, they'd probably rather you didn't.

I recall that some seeds are designed to pass through the mammalian digestive system and thus get deposited with some fresh manure in which to grow. Maybe they enjoy the experience.

> you'd have to make the same argument for herd animals: It might be bad for a single deer to be eaten, but it's pretty good for the herd if someone happens to remove the weakest single member every now and then.

That's a good argument for free ranging or wild animals, but it's more complicated with farmed animals. If we breed animals just to eat them and select for the traits we desire, then it could be considered bad for that species although it certainly increases their numbers.

The issue is that Apple isn’t giving anyone access to the tools to pair the parts, unless you give them all the information in advance, buy them at possibly inflated prices through their self repair program if they’re even available, and then have Apple remotely approve it afterwards (and this process only really works for individuals, 3rd party repair is more important as most people don’t have the skill)
