Crypto was not designed to bypass state but to provide transparency and stability to currency/money. Say you are in Venezuela where your money is constantly devalued and your political power is diminished, every option that you have to survive that doesn't harm people directly should not be considered in high horse moral terms.

By applied logic that consciousness is a type of illusion or hallucination , yes AI can have a consciousness or hallucination. Question is if we can call it consciousness ? I don't think so , rather I would call it hallucination.
Piggy-backing them on mains USB chargers has got me a long way, but what I want right now is something I can strap an 18650 to, wake the thing out of deep sleep once every five minutes to squirt a reading over MQTT, and recharge once a month (or whatever.

Two years ago I rushed to the ER suffering from pulmonary edema caused by misdiagnosed endocarditis which required emergency open-heart surgery. The most qualified of the surgeons were very terse and very busy with, you know, prying people’s rib cages open and such. Do the math and think about what else the ER could have been dealing with at that time…

Many claim that France’s 1974 Messmer plan resulted in the building of its 58 reactors in 15 years. This is not true. The planning for several of these nuclear reactors began long before. For example, the Fessenheim reactor obtained its construction permit in 1967 and was planned starting years before. In addition, 10 of the reactors were completed between 1991-2000. As such, the whole planning-to-operation time for these reactors was at least 32 years, not 15. That of any individual reactor was 10 to 19 years.
I'll second this. Is an excellent book. After each chapter I recommend to take your own distilled notes. After reading the book you will get a very solid base command knowledge in Vim. What I really liked about it is that you can read it without being distracted: go immediately to the computer to test things out, this is because he painstakingly took the effort to show in pages what actually happens after each time you press a keystroke. I truly appreciated this, because you can read the book anywhere and focus on Vim mechanics without the need to try everything out on the fly.
The unlicensed source makes this difficult. My current plan is to trim the game to a demo with one race track, compile it to WASM, put it on my website and get Sony's attention (maybe through Nightdive Studios?) for a proper re-release.

In the likely event that this fails, I'll just YOLO it and put it on Github. After all, Sony didn't care that I published[1] all of wipEout's assets seven years ago.

My dad ran a local dental lab for 30+ years, making crowns and bridges for local dentists.

Over the course of a few years, dentists began using 3D scanners to digitally scan patient impressions, which allowed them to email the scans to my dad's dental lab (previously he'd have to drive to each dentist and pick it up in person).

Then, 1-2 years later, they started emailing the 3D scan to a company in China who would do the same work as my dad, and then mail back the finished product directly to the dentist from China. And of course the Chinese dental labs did this at half the price my dad was charging.

He went out of business and ended up retiring early at 55. The "retiring early" explanation was a great one, but the real reason he retired was innovation hit his industry and made it easy for dentists to outsource crown/bridge manufacturing to China. He works for a property maintenance company now for $20/hr, mostly as a way to fill his time (he's doing fine financially).

Most of the comments here are telling you that you'll be ok, and I hope you will be. But the reality is innovation causes disruption in many fields/industries. If you're in the path of disruption, you have to be willing to quickly adapt and learn to live alongside it rather than fight it.

Also remember you're not alone. Technology has been displacing jobs for decades. Life is about learning and adapting. As long as you commit to adapting quickly, learning new skills as necessary and being open to different types of jobs, you should be fine.
got a source for that company? Presumably it'll be semi-public knowledge. I'd be incredibly surprised if a business was already proficient enough to replace software teams. Call centre operatives or content-farmers maybe...
Is this still "society's" concept of adulthood? Or is it just certain demographics? Most people I know in tech-type careers still play video games (or would if they had time), read a wide range of fantasy and sci-fi books, enjoy hobbies etc. I would regard someone as being immature if they thought that, as an adult, you shouldn't do the things you enjoy once you've met your responsibilities.
I didn't think it was a terribly significant difference. Why would you think so?

Uuh…

I have an old VIA-based 32-bit x86 machine (VIA Eden Esther 1 GHz from 2006), and it hangs in different times, but I managed to create a reproducer which hangs the system not so long after the boot. About 1 in 20 boots are unsuccessful.

I noticed that verbose booting reduces the chance of hanging compared to quiet boot, but does not eliminate it completely.

The similar issue was present even on Dell servers back in 2008-2009, which are based on more recent x86_64 VIA CPUs, here's an attempt to bisect the issue: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=507845#84
The CPU seem to enter endless loop, as the machine becomes quite hot as if it's running full-speed.

All these years I believed this is a hardware implementation issue, related either to context switch or to SSE/SSE2 blocks, as running pentium-mmx-compiled OS seem to work fine, given that no other x86 system hangs the way VIA does.

However after this post and all LKML discussions, ticks/jiffies/HZ mentions, and how is it less an issue on Intel, I'm not so sure: the issue mentioned is related to time and printk, I also associate my problem with how chatty the kernel log is (at least partially), and the person in Debian bug tracker above also bisected the code related to printf, although in libc. It could be another software bug in the kernel. If that's the case, it is present since at least 2.6 times.

I would appreciate any suggestions to try, any workarounds to apply, any advice on debugging. If anyone have spare time and interest, I can setup the dedicated machine over SSH for testing. I have a bunch of VIA hardware which is reused for my new non-commercial project and I struggle to run these machines 100% stable.
>> They don't give you healthcare, do you think they will give you CASH like that???

Here is a tip: take no platitudes, and change your life in a way that works around your worst fears. The healthcare bit you can solve by emigrating to a country with free healthcare, for example. If you have money for a deposit in the place where "rent is sky high," maybe you should consider a different place to live, maybe even a rural location.

Nobody really knows how things are going to develop. But if our brains have gotten us this far, maybe our brains will get us out of a potential future crisis caused by AIs. Just hedge your risks.
EU Parliament leaves human rights gaps in final position on AI Act
You're 100% right. This it's the exact same reason why the writers strike affect something that I theory should have not effect as the shooting or editing of a movie.

In my experience media production only follows the waterfall model in paper or a really small projects, in practice it's like a chaotic version of Scrum/kanban with no standard that changes from production to production.

There seems to be a heavy emphasis on explaining high level Rust concepts using parallels in C++ which overall leads to a weaker explanation for most items. Perhaps this should be titled: Effective Rust coming from C++.
SF Becomes First U.S. City Where Electrified Cars Make Up 50% of Sales
This strikes me as a little absurd, but perhaps it is common for "developers" to misunderstand what value they actually add. AI won't change the value you add, any more than autocomplete or code generators and scaffolds do.

The vast majority of programming is about facilitating, automating and improving business processes. The program artifact only has value as a tool to enable some business processes.

A website facilitates customer communication.

A complete webshop/eCommerce site facilitates selling products; discovery, ordering, invoice generation, logistics, reporting, returns, feedback etc.

The problem is charging for (mostly) time spent implementing the system, rather than the value added by understanding the desired business processes and drawing up an architecture for the system.

It is similar to outsourcing development - if you can solve the hard problem of gathering requirements and designing the data model and system architecture - you might be able to successfully outsource the less valuable parts - and still end up with a decent solution.

Now, with LLMs, a single system architect/senior developer might be able to do the work of a five person consultancy alone. You might not be able to charge five times as much - but perhaps three times for the same or fewer hours worked?

Ed: The money that pays for the software system still comes out of the value added for the customer buying the system. It doesn't really matter how long it takes to build - you need some senior resources to do the "hard part" - and the value added for the customer is the same - they get to stay in/improve their business.
This has been submitted and discussed before[0], but I'd suggest that before you go and check out that conversation, read the article and see if it resonates with you. Maybe you'll have a new insight.

I (mostly) value (many of) the points of view provided by (some of) the HN community, and it would be nice to see more of them.

They'll have a much harder time scamming in AI - unless they're literally using AI to scam more crypto.
It shouldn't be surprising though. If a human makes an error parsing JSON, what do you do? You make them look over it again. Unless their intelligence is the bottleneck they might just be able to fix it.

Indeed, the comment that only NK, narco-states etc support crypto is a bogus moral attack on crypto

NO state truly supports crypto, as it bypasses state-controlled money (by design or not; I'd argue that is exactly one of the design goals).
Great that the alternative in 2023 in renewables then! You're arguing a strawman comparing nuclear to fossil fuels.
Being absolutely serious, I think you may be having a mental health crisis. You describe burnout, feelings of unreality, deep seated anxiety about both the present and the future, as well as a lack of enjoyment in things which you imply you liked before.

I'm not a doctor, but I've suffered with mental health issues in the past. You strike me as someone in the midst of clinical depression and anxiety, and (relating to the idea that nothing is real in particular) like you might have early signs of psychosis.

Please get help. It is not the big deal you think it is: SSRIs, therapy, and lifestyle changes (relax a bit!) will help you see this. Things will be OK, but you're clearly struggling right now. Making a post here was a good idea, but now it is time to take stock and consult a professional or two.

Good luck, and look after yourself.

I'm no expert at all on the subject, but my reading is that it's a system which can pretty easily be implemented poorly, and needs some considerable oversight from the state to work correctly. If it were up to me, religion would have no place at all in the administration of homeless shelters, but this is a big country and different regions face different challenges.

I think the Boise example is probably a good case of generally well-meaning but ideologically driven folks using their city's homeless as a means to promote their views. I imagine if you surveyed most Americans, they'd agree that forcing someone to go to religious events in exchange for a bed is completely inhumane and idiotic.

Only because I've written many words and had very specific concepts, 'essence', to represent with words. What I'm saying is not 'popularized', it's a set of very specific points.

You could GPT-ize what I said into 'feel-good talk' or 'hallmark cards' but you would lose the concept of 'the very broad brush does not deliver the tone you want, but a generalized one that will reach more people through being already based in how they see things'.

If you need to get a mass audience to see a new thing, ChatGPT is NOT your friend… it will tell them what they already know… the wild thing is how the original claim is just this, 'ChatGPT got an audience to see a new thing', but the ChatGPT-style payoff of 'they smiled bovinely and accepted the new information' is clearly what the ARTICLE AUTHOR wanted to hear, and thus it's a really suspicious take.
Of course it can be seized if you write it down. Of you just remember the 12 words there's no way they can extract it (Other than the $5 wrench meme)

For me this has also been an attraction to crypto as I lost faith in the banking sector after 2007. But I have no crypto left because the regulation makes it so difficult. And I don't care about the speculation, I just wanted a truly safe place to store my money.
It's not about the number of ARM cores shipping today, but tomorrow. If RISC-V tools are about as good as ARM and the cores are cheaper it will become the preferred instruction set somewhere in the future.

No, I'd argue its the opposite.

Every CIO/CTO of every company in every industry is now "looking at AI". Much more so than any were ever looking at crypto.

There is now a rich market of B2B customers looking to write checks for "AI stuff".

Quake is/was a multiplayer game with a single player mode attached for initial training.

Personally, I see technical, programming content in 3 main categories:

- Blogging/Developer marketing content - basically all the technical blogs you see & read; Devs run personal ones for portfolio and learning, while companies to attract potential employees or sell their product (if developers are the target audience). It's the space I've worked in the most and to which Vrite was (and still is) initially addressed to.

- General documentation - all the internal/external documentation that contains usage guides, covers important concepts, etc. Basically mostly text with elements of code. I think this is the most popular use-case of the three. Vrite could handle these but it would require support for custom content (docs often embed demos, display custom notes, etc.) and integration with Git (where most of this documentation often lives).

- Code & API documentation - what I think many in this thread had in mind in regards to technical content. This is mostly code, little text and usually highly automated (not just with publishing integrations, but in direct connection with the documented codebase). This is definitely something Vrite isn't designed to do and likely couldn't do no matter the features or customizations added. There are other tools for that.

Looking back, labeling Vrite as a "CMS for technical/developer marketing" might have made it more clear what the product's goals are.

Still, I got a lot of valuable feedback from this thread that I likely wouldn't get with a perfect headline, which I'm greatful for. I'm looking to put it towards improving the "CMS for technical/developer marketing" part and creating a versitile-enough tool for handling "General documentation".

Whenever you feel this kind of panic you should ask yourself how F’d you are relative to the general population. AI will shake things up for sure, but has it ever been the case that smart, educated, experienced people collectively got hurt because of innovation or disruption? No, never.

Your total comp might go down or it might go up. Every time you make a career move that’s the risk you take. But if you’re healthy and smart and diligent enough to be highly paid today you are in a better position than 95% of your countrymen and 99.9% of the rest of the world, no matter what happens.

Enjoy the time you have on this planet. Don’t let fear of the unknown get in the way of that.

Nothing I have seen from ChatGPT has made me worried for my job.
If your job is producing 20 line snippets solving variations of common coding tasks, ChatGPT is the least threat to your job security.

To be honest the far greater threat to your job is an increase in the ammount of programmers plus an increase in individual productivity, with an industry declining in growth. There is your threat.
The amount of energy you would have access to is almost unimaginable. We can only speculate what you'd do with that but two leading ideas are:

1. It may well be the only feasible method of interstellar travel. Accelerating a spacecraft is a whole bunch of fuel you don't have to carry; and

2. Computing power.

So what would motivate people? Living room. One estimate I've seen is the current population of Earth on a full Dyson Swarm would give each person the equivalent living space of the continent of Africa. Of course you'd probably have a ton more people. It's likely you'd have a quadrillion people (>10^15) with each person having significantly more room than they do on Earth.
I think that title would be too restrictive.

The author dedicates a small portion of each section to highlighting analogous concepts in C++, but I don't think C++ -> Rust programmers are the only audience that benefit from this book.
> the SETI Institute's site says we wouldn't be able to pick up signals from an earth like civilization in the system closest to us[1]

TO be clear, the signals it is referring to are those that would be similar the unintended leakage of normal broadcast and military radar systems used on earth. So detecting ETIs from their passive emissions is certainly unfeasible that the moment.

Signals broadcast by a hypothetical extraterrestrial civilisation as part of an intentional seti signalling effort would (presumably) use much higher power, narrower bandwidth, and frequencies chosen to reduce attenuation by the interstellar medium. These would be detectable using our current technology, and is largely what seti is looking for.

Universities are very "image-conscious."

They rely on appearance and goodwill. No one will send their kids to a school, where homeless people kill each other on campus (which is what this appears to be, but More Will Be Revealed).

I won't speculate, but it seems as if they had simply kept giving jobs to that contractor, it would have remained silent.

I'm surprised no one removed the body, in all that time, though.
Too bad the money always goes first to the people who are on the top, and then you have to hope some of it trickles down to the bottom.
IANAL, so by the definition of terms in the law, is messaging social media? It can handle broadcasts, show pictures, …. What about video tools, as they’re capable of multiple participants? These are all things the larger tools like Facebook can do, and I assume grandstanding politicians aren’t knowledgeable or careful.

Didn’t boomer kids back then talk dirty on their bedroom phone? That was all without (specific) parental permission. How about clusters of (pre) teens when the parents weren’t around. Is this why they’re putting malls out of business?!

Schnorr-like (including DSA and ECDSA) signature schemes use a parameter "k" that has to be uniformly random, secret and non repeating for the security of the system, calling that a "nonce" is slightly weird.

Edit: the intuitive reasoning for why it has to be secret and uniformly random is that half of the resulting signature is essentially an linear function of private key, k and the other half of the signature. So if attacker knows k he can trivially recover the whole private key. (EC)DSA uses slightly different representation of the signature, but it is only about shuffling stuff around (presumably to sidestep Schnorr's patent on the scheme) and the same attack still works.
