I downvoted because your comment is unnecessarily passive agressive and combative.
I mean, you can very easily google and see there is scientific consensus that teenagers require more than 8hrs of sleep, with 9 or 10 being optimal although there will always be outliers.

the 7-8 you reference is for adults 25yrs+. As a general rule humans require less sleep the older they get.
Anything to distract from the climate crisis huh Mac
Archived version: https://archive.is/hhw9F
Interesting! I concur with your suspicion. In the official docs, it mentioned that the name has to be quite unique.

Google Support has never been good so getting no response is also to be expected...
Glad you got it fixed though.
I agree that the sentences you quoted didn't contradict anything you wrote and I was on your side at that point. After xcv explained that he meant the link, I was annoyed that he had been so vague, but I updated my expectation to "ok, now Blackthorn will understand the intended contradiction and either agree or explain why both things somehow can be true at the same time".

I think xcv is right that the problem lay in your definition of "contradiction". Whether Position A contradicts Position B has nothing to do with whether Position A has mathematical proof or the FDA agrees with Position B. It's simply whether A and B can both be true at the same time. "Toxic" and "nothing wrong with it" cannot.

Thank you for having a reasonable discussion with me though!
A flood of garbage film/music has always existed, we just don't remember it because its uninteresting.

However, I think modern rec algorithms (like the Netflix home page) are recommending more mediocre stuff than the old system, and the streaming boom did produce an abnormal glut of junk.

Anyway I think AI is going to spawn a music remixing/game modding/tv extending renaissance. They perform much better when pointing them at a good source (as you can see with the melody conditioning samples, and other stuff like sd img2img and finetuned llms).
> Look at the i3. Though it isn't much different than last gen

IIRC, the desktop i3 and i5 processors are in many cases literally last-gen, since Intel is using a mix of Alder Lake and Raptor Lake dies on most of the "13th gen" desktop products that do not have more cores or cache than Alder Lake did.
Could the baby fully develop outside the womb to it's full fledged human potential is my personal "ideal" cut off date, some use so called point of viability of the fetus [1]
but from reading up on it (just now) 28 weeks would be the date for me based on [2]

But in all honesty given the trauma, complications,... involved my simple solution [3] would be to just hand out free pregnancy tests (one for every week of the year) to avoid the problem all together.

The whole abortion thing has just turned into one part of the "culture/identity wars" unfortunately instead of a problem that we as a society want to fix in the best way for everyone. [4]

Infanticide was still practiced even in late 19th century in Europe/France by poor farmers who were starving [5]

I think the whole point of the philosopher is just to do his "branding" as the logical "efficient altruism" solution would be to just bring the kid to an orphanage.

Unfortunately every year it gets harder and harder to get attention and hence these silly "solutions" that are meant to force people to form an opinion pro or con.

[1] depends on technological possibility and availability, generally considered 21 weeks in USA.
[2] Of those that are born before 28 weeks, many do not survive. Those that do face high rates of disability and other medical complications. (the gap is getting wider between top end and middle, again complicating references here)
[3] emperor for a day simple solution.
[4] morning after and abortion pills that can be used within a week would be the logical outcome for the problem if there was no ideological nonsense to it.
[5] Geert Mak - in Europe book, don't have it at hand but 1/3rd of the book is dedicated to his sources, if anyone really want his reference will find it tomorrow.
No mention of MKUltra, it doesn’t excuse his behavior but does explain why he may have been pushed over the edge.
I may as a composer be biased but AI "generating" music is just sad. The hypocrisy is that musicians have been suing each other for intellectual property reasons, while this thing is being trained on everyone's music. The law should catch up on this.
I get that it's going to improve but for now it's also just elevator/supermarket music.
The best answer is “it depends”. Almost any trick a layman can think of to work around a license is probably wrong.

A mindless transliteration of those 800 lines is likely a derivative work, whereas a thoughtful re-creation likely isn’t. Copying an API for compatibility is regarded as a derived work but permitted as fair use (Oracle vs Google). There’s also the notion of de minimis copying were a very (very!) small portion of a work is regarded as insubstantial - maybe a line or two, again see Oracle vs Google.
Programming soft alife with SPLAT and ulam (2020)
Hasn't the main issue with MS been VLAs? I seem to recall that VLAs are the main reason MSVC won't ever support C99, and that MSVC is one of the main reasons why VLAs were made optional. It seems like MSVC supports C11 and C17 now, thanks to the removal of mandatory VLAs.
Not only that, but investors aren’t happy with steady, consistent performance. It has to be constant financial growth at all costs. It doesn’t matter if you hollow out an over 100 year old super valuable brand into a dead worthless husk (Sears) as long as you can extract short term growth from it for the shareholders.
Why does that make him a hypocrite?

In terms of paying enough taxes to sustain further use, is how I should have phrased it. Why can't the subway fund its own improvements?
I was curious for exactly how long "many years" was, and it appears it was added sometime between 2016 to 2017. The last archive without it is from 2016, the next archive with it is 2017:

https://web.archive.org/web/20160405080736/https://dlang.org...

Now that's of course just the website feature. Maybe D had executable examples that were tested by the compiler before Go, which would still be very interesting. However, it does appear Go at least did have the in-browser feature as far back as 2015:

https://go.dev/blog/examples

Not that this matters for much other than historical interest: good ideas like this should be copied shamelessly (and obviously it's not a terribly original idea to begin with, just a good implementation of it.)
I just got excited at a mention of Summits On The Air and found a boring AI article.

It's an amateur radio thing btw...You go up a mountain and make use of the good propogation to call other hams. You accrue points that are as valuable as HN points are!
Too late, a demographic or people who could just barely scrape together a script making REST requests are now selling themselves as “AI specialists” or “prompt engineers” to the corporate class. These are this cycles cryptobros, who were mostly not engineers but people riding a hype wave.

The age of the AI bro is here, and as I’ve been in the space as someone genuinely interested in the models, working with them from time to time, for a while. I’m giving a lot of eye rolls in meetings when these people start talking about the underlying tech.
what do you consider ADAS? Saying 1/2 of the cars are Teslas is suspicious as heck. I don't buy it. Where are you getting these numbers from?
Yeah I don’t think it excuses it at all but I wonder at what point it would? If MKUltra had removed 70% of his brain, would that excuse his actions?
Between this and your "well actually AI Armageddon is a more urgent danger than addressing climate crisis" comment I'm starting to think you're peter thiel's burner account
Much agreed. I far prefer LIRR+Airtrain rather than taking the noisy and rickety subway.

Note the helpful Cityticket discount fare on LIRR as well!

Blowing people up is wrong. But his manifesto was right about many things. It’s interesting to skim through it every couple years.
You are getting older. Every generation thinks the same, that media is getting worse, discounting the survivorship bias that occurs when they look back on their favorite music and discarding all of the bad music that was present back then.
I’m guessing it’s the remote req hurting you. I’ve been out of work for 7 months now and remote is probably my #1 requirement.

The only interviews I’ve managed to get anywhere with want me to be hybrid at least, and usually require an expensive move I don’t want. Had I been willing to take a in office or hybrid role I’d probably have had a job a few months back, but honestly moving is the last thing I want to attempt right now, especially since I’ve hemorrhaged so much money and these companies want me to move to even more expensive areas than I already live.
I did something similar to this years ago. I forked a GPL'd project that had been BSD prior to that and wanted to flip it back to BSD. I contacted the people who had contributed since the license change and got most of them to agree to a relicense but was left with ~900 lines of code that wasn't going to change. I worked with an IP attorney and came up with a strategy that worked in my case (but don't blindly apply it to yours):

- I wrote unit tests for every single one of those functions to confirm/validate the behavior.

- Then I deleted all 900 lines of code and committed it.

- Then I wrote code to make the unit tests pass again.

It was painful but that kept it tightly scoped and I could "prove" the behavior hadn't changed AND that I didn't use the original code.

There's an argument that the unit tests could be a "derivative work" but they were not part of the original system, did not change or add functionality to the system, and did not impact its performance so we discounted that concern.

The more pressing was that - as an open source project - and the guy doing the audit, I had reviewed the GPL implementation and had access to it at any time. What helped me there is that I made a point of using more modern language constructs and patterns which improved the performance of those functions by 30-90% and I resolved a number of buggy edge cases and other problems so it was clearly "substantially different" in implementation.

This was never tested in a lawsuit and do NOT take the above as a definitive solution.
Is it? He stated something as a fact and I want him to take the viewpoint of other persons than himself and think about it. :)
Well, it's important because if we want to transition, we need a strategy and we need people to understand it.

If you can't understand energy density, you may be under the impression we can go 100% renewable right now.

But we can't sustain our current life-style with them today.

Also if you think oil companies are going to disappear after we migrated, you are going to be disappointed if you don't understand the role they play in systems.

I've hit this. It's kind of a tragedy of the commons scenario:

If I take the time to fix the docs with a high certainty of accuracy, I get behind on other stuff with getting credit for the fix.

I guess it also comes down to what the cultural norms / expectations are. Some might see it as natural in a growing company, others might see it as selfishness at the expense of new employees.
> The specific numbers criticized (1.3%, 7%) decided on by economists are indeed arbitrary

But these numbers aren't chosen by economists or any other individual. If prices aren't arbitrary then neither are discount rates.
the question I'm replying to was about why the need for fuels at all, not specifically Hydrogen. I'm not big on hydrogen. I like the ideas around ammonia based fuels. Biofuels have other environmental costs that concern some people. Synthetic fuels could serve a purpose, but yes energy cost has to be really low for that to make sense. But they might be the only viable option in some cases.

Obviously costs change the demand side of the equation - it may be that we wind up with very expensive airfare, and have a lot more somewhat slower modes (say high-speed rail) that can more easily use the cheaper energy forms.
Why preinstalled? They are not even preinstalled on PoPOS. If you choose nvidia via powermanagement and they aren't installed, only then they will be downloaded and installed.....
If you think of the hazzle because of offloading (intel by default and nvidia by demand) just purge bumblebee(at least that was the issue before boowkworm) and you have mostly the same experience.

One thing that’s confusing is that Nature has two purposes: first as a scientific journal, and second as a science news magazine. They’re bundled in the same physical issue (though there are also branches of the journal, eg Nature Genetics, Nature Chemistry, etc), but internally handled by different staff. I suspect the policy will mostly be relevant to the news magazine side, though you would also want to ensure that a paper on the journal side doesn’t include an AI generated image in a non-AI context.

I just asked DALLE for “A scientific illustration of a membrane bound protein being phosphorylated”, and while the results aren’t all that credible, I could imagine using them as a starting point.
I was playing with it yesterday and it's not bad. I'd much rather use it for e.g. YouTube videos than risk getting copyright claimed for using something that already exists.
I think kids or at least there’s the risk of kids seeing old people romantically reenacting their eight bit micro days and think that it’s some thing besides nostalgia.

I was kind of the opposite as a kid, if it wasn’t crazy futuristic I didn’t want it. So even in the 80s I wanted an FPGA accelerators in every machine.
If you make a salary from your job, dollar cost averaging makes more sense than saving up your salary and then lump sum investing it at some point in time.

Randomly getting a huge lump sum of money would only happen very rarely. In reality, investing your paycheck each week is a much better method of investing than either trying to play the market or saving up in a low yield savings account.

This is horrible advice for the vast majority of investors who are getting paychecks each week. Just because it's on the front page of Hacker News does not mean it's true.
>Guess I would call him a hypocrite, as I can't imagine living in prison for one day much less years and years.

You are usually not asked whether you want to go to prison or not.
This is true by definition. Ubuntu releases are forked from Debian at the time of their release, so Ubuntu 22.04 is where Debian was in April 2022.
Yes, that's because the window managers implemented this themselves because Wayland didn't. So that means most window managers use wlroots to provide the functionality, and a few (KDE/Gnome) are doing their own thing. This also means that if you want to interoperate with them it's different for each window manager (that doesn't use wlroots).

Things are somewhat usable now thanks to this, but far from ideal.

View Reconciliation Patterns in Declarative UI Toolkits
Debian Stable and Ubuntu LTS tend to alternate with respect to who has newer packages, because Debian ships on odd years and Ubuntu LTS on even years.

For most purposes, though, I find that I increasingly don't care about 1 or 2 years of difference in the base OS. Most of the toolchain is stable and well established. There are only a small handful of things I want to pin to a specific version (like node.js or Python), but these can usually be installed side by side with default packages. If not, I can always install it in a container. :)
You are confused. Russian forces retreated in the Ukraine in the previous year but didn't use this 'scorched earth tactics' you try to attribute to Russian military doctrine. Kherson was left as it was right before the retreat just like other cities and towns.

"to remind of Russian military’s history"

Actually, you haven't reminded of anything specific.
Who could have predicted that a vaporware implementation that's not even beta would be the cause of all these fatalities?

Autopilot my ass. Just call it what it is (assisted driving) and set realistic expectations with the drivers to what its capabilities are.
I like the way a bookshelf looks on a wall. I like that friends can browse and discuss and borrow. I like looking at book titles and thinking about when I bought them or how I felt when I read them.

Meta is truly on fire with the ML releases, outpacing Google and friends. Kudos to them!
I'm genuinely thrilled about the potential release of LLaMA2.
Is this Apple's first major expansion towards the East Coast?
It's not just that it doesn't come with a discrete GPU. Apple Silicon doesn't support discrete GPUs to begin with.

As far as I understand it—and this is just from watching Apple's presentations on the architecture—the lack of a discrete GPU is a big part of how the Apple Silicon machines achieve good performance per watt.

Instead of having discrete RAM or a discrete GPU with its own VRAM, all of the RAM is accessible to the CPU and and the GPU in a unified memory architecture. On the M2 Ultra, this allows for 800 GB/s of memory bandwidth, and also eliminates a lot of the need to copy data from RAM to VRAM, as both the GPU and the CPU can access the same memory. In return, this allows the GPU to match the performance of discrete GPUs that have a lot more cores.

Of course, the big downside is that you can't expand the RAM or install a beefier GPU. It's all baked in to the logic board.
It was a smaller flood though, when it required lots of money to record an album / make a movie. Gatekeepers kept most of it out. Now anybody can do it, so there is both a lot more chaff to sort through, and an outpouring of creativity.
Companies either want to break worker power or have non productivity related reasons to get butts in seats (tax issues? Real estate? Sad bosses?). And they gotta stfu about climate and environment if they’re forcing commmuting at scale.

Before anybody goes on about f2f vs outsourcing, if you’re being paid anything like an SV salary it’s way too much for the bean counters.

This is no doubt true, but there are a number of studies which suggest that, at least in the case of music, things really have gotten rather worse over the last two decades, thanks to corporatization and consolidation of the production model.
I guess he is a hero? I hope he didn't mail you anything before he died. He had a grudge and took it out on random people. He survived longer in prison than he did in nature. Weird/Toxic lifestyle, IMO.

You do understand how that's different from HFT, right? That's more of a market making job. HFT is like hiring The Flash to be your grocery store clerk, who notices you reaching for the milk, and runs in to empty out the shelf and raise the price by 0.003 cents by the time your hand gets there.
"Reasonable person" is not a good standard for anything nuanced. Sometimes you need a "moron in a hurry" to eliminate all nuance.
I think the ethnostate label isn’t really accurate in China. Paternalistic state is more accurate, Confucian values still hold. The goal isn’t create a monoethnic state, rather the Han see themselves as best apt to govern and guide the other ethnic groups. A lot of the ethnic tension simply comes from minorities seeing such paternalism as condescending.
According to the spec it's up to your IDE to notify the LSP when files change (even due to an external software) then the LSP reads the new versions.

Typescript also doesn't use an LSP as it predates the introduction of LSPs.
You sound old.
A GTK-based desktop pretty much sums up why technology today is terrible. I assume they have GTK applications that run in the DE, and that they have GTK APIs to make it easier. Maybe then implement a minimal desktop in the GTK app, and then add another api...

But in more serious terms: Web-tech while not being made for applications has gotten pretty good at it (why do you think so many new things are just webapps nowadays or atleast under the surface with something like Electron or React Native). It's just another abstraction on top of an abstraction on top of an abstraction... There's nothing inherently terrible about it.

I would say SGI, with the invention of GPU's and OpenGL. It took off from there, not Evans & Sutherland before.
It's worked well for me at small, well-funded startups.

It also worked well for me at large, stable organizations. I.e., more initial bureaucracy, but it was a pretty refined process.

Fast-growing companies above a certain size are where I've had the most hiccups.

Having a well-chosen onboarding buddy also makes a huge difference IME.
I wonder if any of those services can generate editable output for a software like Ableton or Logic Pro.

Why I'm Leaving Elm (2020)
One consequence is bespoke music that changes dynamically, e.g. in games.

There's also a relative dearth of royalty free music for independent content creators to use. AI would enable them to produce better content on a limited budget.

People who enjoy creating music from scratch will be unaffected - recognition and financial rewards are tiny already for most.
They'll have to use an AI to determine what manipulation counts as AI.
50k had access if they wanted it. Most didn't use it. I'm confused why you don't believe me that internet penetration in the salt lake valley was very limited in 1994 - I was there, I ran an internet service provider, and prior to that, I co-ran the largest multi-line BBS in salt lake. I'd been doing dial up for a long time.

You may be assuming that your experience in a different location applies to Utah, but I think that you're really just shifted by a year. The GP almost certainly weren't actually one of the first families in the sense of dozens, but they could well have been first among people they knew in their area. 15 minutes is probably hyperbole.
