Think about it this way... AI will be used for all things, some good, some bad. Also remember that AI isn't free, it at least for some time will require a lot of resources poured into it to run.

Now with this constraint, who is going to be running AI? Large corporations, and do any corporations do stuff for the good of humanity, or is it for the greedy pocketbooks of their investors?

Regulations will be required, but governments tend to lag. Further in the US the corporations will fight tooth and nail to prevent regulations around AI.
USA: I don't want to go into details at this point as the case is still ongoing, but I was offered a plea deal at my first court date to be released the next day and I refused. I was finally released just shy of my 10th year in detention.
I doubt it - the cameras are not at eye location. I expect they employ a similar solution to the Quest, which has no front-facing cameras at all - it builds a 3d model of the scene on the fly using photogrammetry on the corner cameras (if Apple do this they'd avail themselves of the built in LIDAR) and folds it into the rest of the rendering stack. This has theoretically better latency for the important part (head movement) than piping cameras directly into the displays, because it's perfectly synchronized with the display refresh without having to wait for a camera to complete a frame. I expect Apple does something similar.
It’s not insightful. But it’s obvious he is highly educated, and familiar with academic culture.

I don’t understand how the FBI profiled him as poorly educated.
Please talk to a doctor. Looking at the Merck manual, the criteria are 4 or more symptoms. If you have 7 of 8 symptoms, then you may have OCPD.

About the 27 bits. This is from the article:

> Fano’s balancing approach starts by assigning the O and one other letter to the left branch, with the five total uses of those letters balancing out the five appearances of the remaining letters.

> The resulting message requires 27 bits.

I didn’t calculate it, the author of the article did
CPUs are intentionally engineered for a target market. When engineering the M2, Apple had a certain market in mind, and design and performance trade-offs were made accordingly. As others have noted, power efficiency seems to be a big priority. The M2 Ultra has a TDP of 60W. The i9-13900K has a base consumption of 125W, and draws up to 253W under stress. So do the math. Intel achieves 32% better single-core performance and 41% better multi-core performance (Cinebench) for 422% of Apple's power consumption. If there's something impressive here, it's that Apple is able to do so much with so little. If Apple wanted to, they could probably conjoin two M2 Ultra's and soundly beat the i9-13900K by a considerable margin and still use about half the same power to do so. The real question is why any consumer would need that much compute, and the target market for such a niche is probably very small which is why Apple didn't do that
Does Kbin enforce developer beliefs on downstream admins and users like how lemmy enforces[1] a hard-coded "slur" filter? If it doesn't, then it sounds promising and I see why reddit is afraid.

I mean it's not hypothetical, there are shit loads of bots on social media already causing problems. Now the bots these days have a human controller but we can see strife they cause in politics already.
That's not my interpretation but we'll see.
Congestion pricing is good insofar as it deters driving. We do need to get our heads out of our asses with respect to the logistics of converting dollars to transit infrastructure, but that's basically independent. Congestion pricing revenue could be given to your favorite charity, redistributed as a citizen's dividend, or lit on fire. The important thing is that as the marginal driver the amount you have to part with is painful enough to you to change your behavior.

In any other US metro area, there is perhaps a realist argument that roads work fine for 98% of trips and trains are too much of a boondoggle for their marginal contribution to capacity. But this is Manhattan. Forget for a moment about urbanism, environmentalism, etc. If the MTA melted down tomorrow, no appreciable portion of its riders could fall back on driving, as a matter of geometry.
Anyone who is knowledgeable about the subject knows it is not. They’re not even in the same league, it’s really laughable.
People are more lonely and sexually frustrated than the past several generations, this is sexual liberation in name only. Consumerist materialism is candy not sustenance, people are venerating self destruction. We are supposed to love each other, not idolize dolls on a screen. If you can't see how that's sick then I can't help you.
Thousands of subreddits pledge to go dark after the Reddit CEO’s recent remarks
Eating Gamma Radiation for Breakfast
It's burying the lede because the title makes it sound like the authorities in France are going around finding tor/linux users and arresting them, when what actually happened is that the group was surveilled because they were known to have fought in syria, and after they came back they were also using tor/linux. Don't get me wrong, arresting them for that reason is still an injustice, but it's misleading to paint the whole situation as "arrested for using linux and encryption".

If you go from double to triple parity it should far more than make up for the extra resilvering time.

Though if you want specific numbers, what would you estimate as the per-drive odds of 8TB and 40TB drives dying during a resilver? Let's say they take 2 and 7 days respectively.

I agree with you, and the source, that most transportation taxes are regressive. Where you lose me is that THIS one is. Driving into Manhattan isn't something the vast majority of poorer commuters are doing.
It doesn’t take much for a machine to become irrevocably tainted, so the fact that they are doing a recall doesn’t, in and of itself, say much about the magnitude.

Do you have some other data to substantiate your ire or are you just piling on?
There is no outside of government, they hold a monopoly in violence.
IIRC the average qsort len is less than 20 according to debian code search.
The idea you want tiering... at home.. just seems so unlikely to save you any serious money, or gain you significant performance.

"tiering" in the traditional sense isn't even popular in the DC with things like Vast, Pure, etc all doing well.

Is there any reason you don't know the data set that is generally cold? The vast majority of home users basically have data that is trivially super cold that needs reasonable read performance - this is just HDDs. Then have a second mount point with things that you need greater performance, and have that be just SSDs.
Could recycle plastic into floating kelp forests that consist of a weighted substrate that the kelp holdfasts can lock onto supported at the appropriate depth using lines up to floats. Each deployment could be of sufficient area to be self-sustaining in the open ocean and populated with appropriate fauna. If the floats degrade the entire forest would sink to the seafloor to sequestrate the carbon. Gradually these would congregate in the gyres in the oceans where all the loose plastic ends up and eventually take it all to the bottom.
> why would using an oxide server for the hardware be any different (better or worse) than a SuperMicro server?

Secure hardware can attest that its firmware is what it should be and doesn't have any persistent implants in it.
That's what I am referring to as well. Plenty of people at income X intentionally have children while plenty of people at 5X lament not being able to afford them. I think this is true for every X.

I suspect income has a negative correlation with the number of children in general, if anything.
Ah yes, "mo TB, mo problems", as the Notorious B.I.G would lament.
I drive every day in Australia, thankfully not in peak hour but hundreds of km per week and I have never seen brake checking, didn't know it was a thing, had to Google the term to find out what it means.

I have noticed a lot of people failing to keep a safe distance from the car in front (tailgating), though, which is far stupider to me. Maybe the two are related?
If we extend that to medical, the graveyard is bananas big.
It makes sense that Coulton would not have copyright on the lyrics (because they are not his) but why would he not have copyright on everything but the lyrics? I just listened to his version and the Glee version (which sound the same), and they sound completely different to Sir Mix-A-Lot's original version. Is there a special rule for musical works that sets a very high threshold of originality for derivative works?
Of course in the 1950s many thought that computer vision and artificial intelligence were only a few months to years away, and here we are 70 years later and we're still working on those problems.

Predicting the future is hard. Some problems are harder than expected, others are easier than expected. But generally I'd say history favors the pessimists, the cases where a problem gets solved suddenly and there's a major breakthrough get a lot of press and attention, but they're a minority in the overall story of technological progress. They're also unpredictable black swan events - someone might crack AGI or a unified theory of physics tomorrow, or it might not happen for ten thousand years, or ever.
I’d argue that HN is the opposite of a centralized forum. This is what well-functioning decentralization looks like. HN is HN. It’s decentralized to the most extreme level: there are no blockchains or fediverse or protocols because there is no link at all to any other larger network of forums, other than hyperlinks. And there doesn’t need to be.

Decentralize by making small, simple, isolated things. Not by making complicated interlinked things and trying to form a larger network. The larger network doesn’t necessarily have value.
> even with modern motherboards they don't support switching them off at low temperature

I have a ASUS TUF GAMING B550M-PLUS WIFI II motherboard in my desktop set to do exactly that, under I think 48 °C it stops the case fans. No Windows software required, it’s all in the MB’s BIOS.
Ad revenue seems to be down hard all over the place - several of the podcasts I listen to are basically begging on air for advertising with some ad spots replaced with "this episode sponsored by our patrons" type segments.

Living hand-to-mouth in the bush offers certain kinds of autonomy and freedom, but lacks others. Your stomach is not a lenient master.
I assumed "downtown" means below 14th st or something like that - an unusual area to focus congestion charges on.

They are actually talking about all of downtown and midtown - south of 60th street - which is yea the busier part of the city, just not what an actual NYer refer to as "downtown"
You are hitting on the largest problem with high density HDDs - the IO dosn't scale with the density, and thus the data needs to be colder and colder that you put on the drive.

The cold data thesis hasn't worked out as well in the market as many storage vendors would have liked.
If we go by surface area / storage, how many atoms per bit this is ?
A good test for me of whether you are a consulting firm is “how many customers do you have?”, “How many of them provide significant revenue?”, “how much work serves only one customer?”

There are many boutique SaaS firms - but if you only have a few customers, the business looks more like an outsourced internal team then an independent concern.

happy to be proven wrong on this point, would give me some ideas for my career :)
Way too late to be making this sort of observation. That's been and gone. The blame lies squarely on people sacrificing everything for convenience and access to their friends. Even today, that choice has not changed as the person in the post notes. We reap what we sow.
The people who dig us up in thousands of years are going to be so confused.
What does that mean exactly?

In theory with the internet I have access to most of the data humanity created. But that's not much different than throwing me on a raft in the middle of the ocean and going 'here, all the water you want.

Especially with search just getting so crappy and seo spam filled. It's something I can use to refine the knowledge I have by helping to focus the torrent.

I know you're fringe, honestly it's weird having a cis person thinking about trans people so much. But even if LGBTQ support was in the minority, which I don't think it is; I'd still have morality on my side, which is all I've ever needed.
Why even bother with the charade if fines only ever amount to a tap on the wrist?
It's not dead yet[1] but, yes, it's never quite caught on the way so many of us thought it would back in the 1980s and 90s. The 1987 movie "Innerspace" even referred to "photon echo memory chips." Friends of mine worked for years at one of the companies mentioned in the Wiki page but came up just a little short.

FWIW, gallium arsenide was also supposed to take over from silicon for CPUs once speeds went above 25-MHz (or so). A senior colleague of mine said, "There are a lot of smart people whose kids's college tuition depend on making silicon a little better every year." And so, it came to pass. GaAs is definitely important but we've got multi-GHz silicon CPUs now.

The point is you still need a car, and approximately half the people (instead of 60-75% like in other cities) own cars in New York.
Sounds like he gives a prettier clear cut definition of the demographic. You even admit to being apart of it at the end of your comment.
Made a YouTube channel 12 years ago.

But stopped making videos after 2 years, really regret it now. It was a completely different scene back then. I would have dropped out of high school and pursued a YouTube channel if I knew it would be this big.

It was really interesting to think about what kind of videos to make and was always excited to check the view count every day. Precious time.

>Think about owning horses back in the day, which you could simply breed to get more of. You could travel freely pretty much anywhere, no roads required. Compare that to a car which is manufactured somewhere far away with tons of special expertise and which basically cannot be repaired by a layman anymore (as opposed to not too many decades ago). And you rely on a huge infrastructure network for building and maintaining the roads.

How about the externalities and technological advancements nessecary to domesticate wild horses, and also the infastructure networks which drove the need and ability to create a ship capable of transporting those horses across the Atlantic ocean to America, where they are not a native species.
Great post. I'd be interested in a similar comparison when it comes to distributed computing/concurrency/fault tolerance/scaling/observability of Erlang/Elixir/Beam vs eg Rust or Go.
That’s exactly right. Partial self driving is not only useless but dangerous
The nanoscale heating manipulates the magnetic coercivity of the platter coating to allow the magnetic polarization to be manipulated. It seems somewhat analogous to modern day Magneto Optical but much finer scale and the readout is via a magnetic signal vs MO using an optical readout.
I moved to Canada in 2002 and my 56k modem worked just fine and I'm pretty sure (though I might be misremembering) cable and ADSL were already around (I think people were amused that I was still using dialup). I'm sure some other parts were behind.

I think I had Internet access around 1984 or so, lived near a university (this was not in the US so must have been some early international connection). Before that we had BITNET (IBM's network) and uucp. My first networking from home experience was with a 300bps modem to an IBM mainframe using a terminal program I wrote myself on a Sinclair ZX Spectrum. It was a pretty crappy half-duplex but pretty exciting as a kid.

A trip down memory lane...
The proof for that being vibes? Your specific example is quite obviously false in my eyes, but maybe I’m missing something obvious. How is some antibiotics worse than no antibiotics?

I mean unless his stance was that a higher population is inherently bad because there’s more people to experience suffering? But surely all these people in this thread don’t support something THAT dumb.

I’m so lost and his wiki page isn’t helping
It's not that big a transgression

It also makes a map of human affect. We can all pretend such a thing matters, but most horrors never touch our life and would never be known without the news.

The fact that a random guy gave his spare time to help others is notable. The key point is the Christmas tree deliverer being a first responder. It's a hell of a thing.
Forcing people to drive to an office just to type on a computer and take phone calls is the thing that should be disincentivized.
That's a really investing way to put it, thanks! (and just a slightly different phrasing to the other thread that clicks better for me for some reason)

I've never thought of decentralization as a purely geographic concern - may very well be my own bias towards caring deeply about data ownership and viewing geolocation of servers as an implementation detail that I care little about
By the way, the congestion of the city makes life much easier for bikers and pedestrians than if the vehicles were moving faster, all things considered. Non-car NYers instinctively jaywalk and otherwise dominate the city because we don't have to deal with anything moving too fast. Other cities may have faster traffic and relatively fewer cars, but they are still way less walkable than NYC and scarier w/o a car.

As I mentioned in another post, this is mainly a way to extract more revenue from the 95% (their own projection) of people who will continue to drive in the city. The 5% that will be priced out... I am not totally sure how noticeable that will be. Busses aren't going to all of a sudden fly down the avenue just because a handful of poor shmuks now have to take 2 busses and 2 trains to get to their job.

For what it’s worth there is a tabular view that has more item detail. Things like marketplace subscriptions can often appear as Other in the graph.

I’m pretty happy with azure. I’ve not used GCP but vs AWS I find permission management a lot nicer. I have yet to have a billing surprise that didn’t come down to me not reading closely enough.

What I don’t like is they sometimes lock private links (aka the ability to not have a service publically routable, only accessible on a vnet) behind premium SKUs, looking at you service bus.
It is the rise of the engagement algorithm that has destroyed society and is negatively impacting the global community such as it is. Youtube and Facebook are the twin patient zeros in the digital space of the internet.

The ironic thing about the McDonalds metaphor is that their junk food has now increased in price (at least in the US) due to the price gouging that corporations are inflicting on society, because they can. From fuel costs, food costs, and every other thing, corporations are wringing every bit of money from us.

Everything is getting worse.
I think the parent comment was deleted? And I’m quoting the wiki on his manifesto.

I don’t see “no action or choice is perfectly good” as an excuse to take bs like “what if disease and famine and ignorance are good for us” seriously.

And that’s not really what the trolley problem is about, AFAIU it’s about agency and culpability - I think you’re more discussing basic utilitarianism?
You can't ban private vehicles because it's difficult to get to the rest of NY without transiting through Manhattan.

You would essentially be cutting most of NY off from the rest of the world.
It's not the language specification that makes the languages special, its the VM they run on.

(Elixir is a little more special with its hygienic macros, whi allow for for libs like NX to exist.)

The BEAM/erlangVM is probably closer to a OS than a traditional-ish VM like the JVM.
Makes sense. I went with the Extreme model because I needed to drive one 4K + two HD monitors from it and was under the impression that Intel XE graphics are not sufficient for it - happy to be corrected on this front (Nvidia has been nothing but trouble on Linux).
> The result of the study, shown in Chart 3, reveals that most of Belgium’s neighboring countries faced dunkelflaute at the same time as Belgium.

https://vito.be/en/news/dunkelflaute-what-do-when-there-no-w...

Neighboring states are not a panacea. All nearby countries will suffer from dunkelflaute at similar times, and they are correlated to each other.

Note that no one is suggesting that you cannot rely on neighbors for power. Only that this does not solve the problem of intermittency entirely. Hence an additional system of hydrogen energy storage is necessary. Something every study even admits is basically necessary or at least highly desirable.
Good — let drivers pay for their share of infrastructure and space required to support their existence. So much space in NYC is taken up by roads and parking, subsidized by people who don’t use it.
For now.

Any service that supercedes whatever next, will eventually be a protocol, and future generations will consider all the iterations in-between to be, dumb.
Yes, that does sound asinine.
I was hoping this was about the programming language ML on BEAM.
I unironically think this is an absolutely legitimate reason even in a purely results-oriented, commercial context... but saying that is not politically expedient :(
Europe would be in a depression if you couldn't drink coffee while driving stick, which you certainly can.
Not great reading comprehension, friend - they’re not complaining, but reminiscing.
Even though what you ended up doing wasn't my first choice, I'm way happier with it than I would have been with removing noreferrer from the abusive sites.
That seems to be a fairly simple task, ask ChatGPT to do it ;D
Are there any examples anywhere of green energy programs making energy cheaper? Not even the biggest green energy proponents claim this is going to make energy cheaper, afaik. Are we still waiting for this 'zero marginal cost' energy to kick in?
He said the connection was super trivial.

I think you're mistaken - I think it's precisely the right place for such a comment.
You can still use records and custom types for this case.
I don't think I've ever once been "break-checked" in 15 years of driving. Is that something that only happens to people who habitually drive too close to the car in front of them? (Tailgating as we call it here.)

This feels like a joke. Even more than "I lived in the woods for years so I could figure out a mailbomber"

TK was mentally ill. Cutting himself off from society was a symptom, not the cause. Being a mimic doesn't give insight into the original aside from the act.
