Not really, because then, the influence reaches deep into the programming language, and that means you get one of the many single-language type OSes, like Smalltalk, or Oberon, or Lisp Machines.

They do have many advantages, but lots of people don't like being compelled to use just one thing, and I think that's a huge factor in how the Unix/WinNT model did so well.
I wrote a best practices document for time travelers back in 2003 that had an enormous impact on that community, judging by their continuing low numbers: https://idlewords.com/2003/09/best_practices_for_time_travel...
Look, I'm not even stating an opinion here, I'm just stating facts.

Clearly, companies and developers are behaving in a way you don't like. You seem to believe that billion dollar companies are just stupid, that all developers are idiots.

I'm explaining to you the correct way to explain this behavior, an explanation that does not assume that a majority of successful companies and people are stupid, but that instead relies on rational arguments.

Of course I'd love it if there was a perfect way to develop software once without micromanaging memory, run it on web, desktop, mobile and have it be super performant at the same time. It just does not exist as of today, companies and people take rational decisions based on this. It is how it is, stop raging, accept it or build something better.
How are we going to provide that evidence? And make sure that evidence is actually true, instead of AI generated? Send them a link to a wiki page that has been mutated by an AI bot updating it? ;-)
It's the logo for Apple Corps, The Beatles' company. The final settlement for the trademark dispute between the two Apples saw Apple Corps's trademarks transferred to Apple [Computer] Inc and licenced back to Apple Corps Ltd.

I suspect the agreement between Apple and Apple probably requires Apple Inc to take reasonable steps to protect the ex-Apple Corps trademarks that they now own, such as filing for registration if needed.

Then someone not understanding trademark law and that registering a trademark for a Granny Smith apple as a logo for a record label doesn't mean you're trying to claim all apples for every use.
I wonder if the rise of skepticism will actually lead to people decreasing their use of the internet. Once the internet is full of crap (like 1000x what it currently is) and everyone realizes nothing is real, or can be trusted. Will people turn away, and start reading books and talking to neighbors again. Could the new renaissance be talking to other humans again, because face-to-face personal contact would be only form that can be trusted to be real.
For reference, this beat GPT-3.5 which scores 47%, but not GPT-4 which scored a massive 67%.

Beating out GPT-3.5 at any task with such a small model is very cool to me.

How much longer until these dumb virtual assistants (Siri, Google, Alexa) get replaced with on-device LLMs? We’ve gotta be getting close. These small, optimized models are catching up quickly in so many domains.
Confirmation bias is one hell of a drug. If people want to believe something, and AI provides somewhat believable fake evidence, they will believe it.
I was thinking about that but a steel sub can only really weigh as much as the same volume of water which probably limits things if you are going to 4000m. Too much weight and it'd sink like a stone.

> without treating dating like a job search

You are right, but expand that horizon a little bit. Dating has to be given consistent time. You're unlikely to get lucky. But, it does not have to be separate activity.

Choose a co-ed hobby / co-ed workout, and stick to it. Your workout becomes where you find people to date. If you aren't actively looking, then see if you can build a rapport with someone first. If you see some potential, then you can make the move. If not, you still got a workout/hobby and a friend out of it.

The stigmatization of approaching someone in the workplace, and increasingly in any non-bar public places is an impractical solution with more negative side-effects than many realize. Work dating is becoming a no-no, but I would suggest that you be more brazen in otherwise semi-acceptable public places.

(p.s: make necessary adjustments to the comment acc. to your dating preferences)

> don’t know how to find anyone I actually like

That sounds like a bigger underlying problem. It is the same steps as I mentioned above, but finding your community is incredibly important to general well being.
That's... More or less how it works in plan 9?

Answer heard from a philosophy podcast.

"God has nothing to do with good or bad in our life. When it made us in his image, it means he gave us the opportunity to know what is good/bad and the liberty to choose between it. That's the pure definition of freedom.
If he chooses everything for us, we're not free. "

Truman wasn't free until he choose to do something "bad" and left.
I managed to install a recent version in a VM and get it doing things, which I never managed with traditional Plan 9, despite several attempts. That impressed me.
The question also sneaks in the presupposition that suffering is anathema, or that suffering is never acceptable or worthwhile. Anyone who has been a part of a sports team (especially one that was successful) can attest to the fact that short-term suffering and sacrifice can lead to long-term success or joy.

There are many episodes in my life that were horribly difficult while I was going through them, but later on, I see how they have changed the course of my life and have benefited me deeply, in a way I couldn't foresee while going through the struggle.

The "problem of evil" also assumes that a world filled with automatons with no choice to do anything except submit to God's will is somehow superior to a world where anyone can choose to follow the Way of Life while surrounded by those who either haven't chosen yet, or have made the choice not to walk that path.
"Utility had a strange backseat for me"

I kinda took that to the extreme when I was young. Used to loathe anything practical - experiments, programming, applied math etc cuz you know they weren't "pure" and engaging enough. I would also have a hardtime processing/registering something if I'm not able to derive it analytically from first principles. It felt like cheating if I have to use a formula without fully understanding how it was derived haha.
I think that people more commonly use "ratchet" for the always-up-never-down effect. But that captures only constant direction of motion, not speed.
I think, but based on nothing but news stories about this incident, that's common for very deep sea submersibles. It makes sense, the could opt out of a whole bunch of surface ship concerns and they expect to be launched and retrieved. It also helps simplify the design if you don't have to worry about opening hatches from the inside. That adds complexity and can introduce new failure modes.
> The advantage of CF is low weight. But who cares what a submarine weighs?

The heavier a sub is the bigger the ballast tanks have to be to compensate and the more energy is wasted on moving it, just like any other powered vehicle.
Even Behringer gear gets 'cloned' by the likes of Mooer and Donner these days. It is the natural way / cost of doing business.

(rumor has it the Donner B1 is based on designs of B's TD-3)

I don't get these sanctimonius types that go like 'oh noes, its the music / gear industry, thats different, ethics, values, full of cool dudes, etc. etc. blaaargh'.
Especially mentioning ETHICS in the friggin' MUSIC INDUSTRY is just so hahaha.
No seller of apple fruits is “riding on apple logo/name bandwagon”, it won’t be genericized because of fruit existing as long as memory

Genericization is only for newly invented words/phrases, it’s apple that is actively stealing common words and makes trademarks out of them
Was going to comment the same. I haven't had to touch node or npm in a year or so.
The docs don't agree with you - https://github.com/rough-stuff/rough/wiki#seed - if you use a fixed non-zero value it should be the same every time.
Humans are not mentally ready for anything beyond tribes on the African savanna. Everything else is achieved via complicated brain hacks or social structure hacks that function like cognitive dongles to let a tribal hominid interface with a radically different world.

We just need to develop a whole new battery of hacks for this world. It’s happening slowly.

I’m not convinced that AI is going to make things qualitatively different from social media. It may allow bad actors to produce a lot more bullshit but it’s not like an environment saturated in bullshit is new.
This pretty much here.

"Oh but non-tech people don't know the value of technology" Being condescending doesn't help much, and I bet they know a lot of things the tech people don't know or don't care about.

And you might even disagree why it's not important but it is good to be aware, and not simply dismissive

> I found the religious themes interesting. There's the famous Problem of Evil in religion.
"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then from whence comes evil?"

These questions don't make sense. I am not claiming to be a believer etc., but if God exists then eventually you end up with your maker, right? So given an eternity of whatever is after this life, what does experiencing something bad or evil even matter then.

The existence of God implies a number of things about human nature and existence, and that's regardless of whether one accepts or rejects God. Per my understanding, humanity defines itself by defining what is not- what we say is evil or immoral or wrong, etc. I think the problem is that religion (historically) has been confounded by politics.

Tbh I don't think humans can do religion correctly, so society as a whole should be secular.
Moderators should have thought of all the people that can't live without their daily "fix" before interrupting their volunteer work for a few days, right.
Ah. Just in time for summer camping…My Svea 123 says to use benzene fuel. I use naphtha or “camp fuel”. Are we talking about the same compound?

There is too much capital belongs to stupid people somehow.
there was a guy in other post on this story.

He says that testing of the composite materials is really difficult in comparison with metal. As they fail catastrophically without material stress.

Quotes like: "Lochridge’s concerns mainly focused on the company’s decision to rely on sensitive acoustic monitoring – cracking or popping sounds made by the hull under pressure – to detect flaws, rather than a scan of the hull."

are quite chilling in hindsight

> The same person who is involved with Plan 9 also made Go. Taking one look at that programming language doesn't leave me very optimistic about Plan 9.

Hilarious how in any thread on HN tangentially related to Go, somebody will inevitably find a way to construct that bridge to Go purely to shit on it (and it's rarely anything more interesting than "Go sucks, right?").
I am not scared for AI overflowing the news sites with bullshit. We already have a fire hydrant worth of bullshit content produced for consumption. Lies and fakes have coexisted with humans forever. People did rumours, then we had books, press, radio, television, and now the Internet.
"But it's easier to produce lies/deepfakes today" -- true. However, the absolute cost of producing a lie per consumer already was negligible, and now it's even smaller.
People will recalibrate their level of trust in technology and move on.

I'm a fan of his work but that's just not what Fields medals are for.
This is on the roadmap. Under the hood, the UI is a functional programming language, a bit like the Dhall configuration language, but with primitives for A/B testing, event logging and ML. So we'll have a code interface too for GitOps workflows.
Link suggests that is because the cloud is already rotating due to "gravitational shearing in the galaxy's disk", not because it is uneven.
I've tried some of these agent frameworks like autogpt, babyagi and all earlier.

They didn't seem to be very useful TBH. How is this one different?
The feature of plan 9 that makes it all hang together is that all features interact through a single, network transparent, universal layer.

Fixing this in Linux means removing everything that doesn't fit in this interposable, redirectable, nameable world with a uniform way to interact with all resources.

That's most of Linux.

Ioctl is a particularly egregious violation of the model.

If you say “Hi” I can’t tell what you want, and I tend to move onto somebody who actually asks a question because I know what I am getting into.

Different eating culture. In China it's not uncommon to eat out every day whereas in the west it's usually an experience (unless you are eating out in McDonald's). Hence, cheap eats places tend to automate to save on costs.
If you live in the Washington, DC, area, Turning the Page accepts donations, and will even pick them up if you have enough boxes. The books collected are sold through the Carpe Librum pop-up bookstores, the proceeds to to a local literacy project. Most of the staff of the bookstores are volunteers.

* Incrementally improving on the WIMP model. (E.g. title bars as tabs.)

* Combining the simplicity of the classic MacOS Finder with the keyboard controls and hierarchical menus and customisable taskbars of the MS Win95 Explorer, without the horrid bloat of Win98 and all later versions, including copies such as KDE >=2.

* Removal and elimination of a huge amount of legacy bloat, making a tiny fast OS. (e.g. No text mode, no console, at all.)

* Removal of complexity of multiple languages and C as the lowest common denominator; everything is in C++ and nothing but.

* Richly multithreaded: ran extremely well on SMP machines in the 1990s, when this was strictly limited to huge workstations that cost as much as a house.

It was gorgeous. Haiku is lovely but IMHO a little bloated and sluggish by comparison.
I second the recommendation on Dark City.

When I first saw The Matrix I said to myself, they stole all the ideas in this film from Dark City.
Will MKS SERVO42 going to work? Installs onto back of NEMA17 stepping motors, works in closed loop using magnetic encoder, has to be stepped but infinite rotating and $20 apiece with a motor. Latest 42D variants seems to work with CAN or RS485 too.
AI is unrelated to post truth. We have been living the era of the fake news since 2016, when Russian trolls started to peddle with elections and President Trump created his legendary alternative facts. AI may exaggerate these issues, but not much. Anything AI can do can be done by human liars as well. If humans are not mentally ready then shit has already hit the fan and blaming/pointing the AI and its research or regulation is not constructive.
New VS Code Extension Replaces Booleans with Toggles
Everyone seems to dismiss the 'Terminator' scenario in AI. Mainly because robots are lagging, or not having as remarkable break throughs as GPT, (even Boston Dynamics, is great, but watch their 'behind the scene' on all the trial and error). This seems like a step in direction. Hook up some of this, some self-driving car tech, some GPT-4, starting to look a lot more like 'Terminator' is doable, or at least not a complete fantasy.
That's the only thing that gives Bitcoin value. So, in a crisis it can become false for some people, then spread to the people they know, etc.

With dollars, all Americans need them. So do international companies that transact with Americans. If you think the US government will hold, then that belief will be true, it's only a question of the number of steps.
> My view is that from the point of view of safety, the approach doesn't really matter and what matters is the results

But you won't know the 'results' until you have a catastrophe and can do a post-mortem and find out where you went wrong. The approach does matter because one approach is 'let's do everything we can to prevent the catastrophe'. I mean, the approach is safety.

Your first point reminded me of the Expert Beginner[1].

Avoiding appeals to authority (or conversely ad hominem) is important, but if you don't have time or resources to evaluate the idea directly, it's useful to consider who the advice is coming from, and who the intended audience of that advice is (it might not be you) [2].

"Our lead developer said we should do X in this situation" has a better chance of success than "I found a random blog about this thing that could work for us".

To be fair, and I don’t say this in a spirit of criticism toward you, but taking medical advice from Internet strangers is not recommended generally.

Many (myself included) have relied upon Reddit in the past for niche advice or recommendations. My key is to only do so in applying topics I already understand enough to apply safely, so I know whether I’m reading a clever idea or someone talking out their ass.
Yeah? Sosumi

Poor man's defer
An alternate universe twitter is probably a better comparison. Content largely tends to be images or video but can be text posts as well. It started off much less "federated" where you were running your own "blog" on Tumblr that had it's own styling, but it's become increasingly centralized.

"Reblogs" are a bigger feature on Tumblr than twitter generally and the reply / threading structure is pretty unique, which has a tendency to create a lot of blogs that are essentially 100% reblogging other content.
/proc is for stuff like shell automation, not normal 'file' use.

Systems like /proc/ are cornerstones of the “Everything is a file” concept.

The idea is that files are just byte streams/arrays, and pretty good to be optimized.

If your point is simply that “files are efficient because they are just dumb bags of bytes”, then you are in a rude awakening.
Really don’t like the idea that we will act as interfaces for the AI, I honestly believe it will only many the majority of people lazier and dumber. I’m also incredibly shocked that no one is talking about AI as a friend/companion, that has to not be good for you in the long run. Humans need real human connection, AI is too artificial for that (duh). Having AI friends will be equivalent to consuming fast food instead of healthy home cooked meals growing up. Yes, people that grow up on fast food are still alive, but they are less happy and have more health problems (mental and physical), but it did the “job”, that job was to fuel them. In this case, AI will do its job, make people less “lonely”, but I highly doubt it’s a replacement for human companionship.
Trio of Images Highlight BepiColombo’s Third Mercury Flyby
It's not even a spoiler. There is no great plot reveal at the end, it's already established in the first 10 minutes that Truman is living a fake life inside a giant dome. Sure, the post above gives away some of the specifics of how the character experiences the denouement. But hardly a spoiler. And, as others have said, you can't expect perfect secrecy to be maintained in discussions of a 25 year old film.
I skimmed that page, and all I found was some group stating that placing the country name before the party name is somewhat racist. Which I suppose could be an artifact from when Lenin and Stalin were trying to incite world revolution through the Comintern, when the communist movement wanted to eradicate all borders and make the whole world communist.

Also in your link is a reference to the official CCP website, where they themselves (or so the talk page claims) state while they prefer CPC, CCP is also acceptable.

So it seems to me that this is a nothing-burger, where some activists are fighting on behalf of a group that doesn't really see the reference as a slur in the first place.

Based on this link, CCP was even the original abbreviation, which was changed to CPC as late as 1943 due to pressure from Comintern/Stalin:

Brian Lunduke “declares war” on AI [video]
Ask HN: Refusing all cookies, still targeted by ads. How?
On a blank new work computer using Chrome but not logged in, I refuse all cookies but still see myself being tracked, for example by ads targeted to my surf history.

I could think of sophisticated methods, but maybe the simple answer is that refusing cookies doesn't actually do anything?
But that's sort of the point, isn't it? It's generous even to call "skeptics" a group. There are just "people who have skepticism about X," many of whom have skepticism for wildly different reasons — many of them bad reasons — and therefore are not convinced by good evidence.

AI will produce whatever evidence a person needs in order to shore up their own "skeptical" beliefs. Same problem as social media, where finding 1000 other people who share your fringe beliefs looks like compelling evidence for your belief being true. Just now it's on-demand, hyper-personalized, responsive to your own doubts, and there's no chance of you realizing "ah, my comrades on the other end of the tube are actually idiots!"

I'd bet an AI product that tells a flat earther that "it's an open question" will be much more successful than an AI product that attempts to dispel that myth. That is, at least until an AI can effectively convince people away from their beliefs, which almost certainly will not happen via "calmly providing solid logical evidence," given that this is not usually an effective vector for persuasion anyway. Now you've got a new problem, which is a technology capable of convincing people of all sorts of insane things.
The rapid development of AI could lead to people generally being frightened away from digital products. In my own social environment, I see more and more people who used to be very enthusiastic about computers turning away to more analog entertainment and work.

Blindly developing technology only as part of the "power play" without solving real problems is no longer justifiable. AI is starting to create significantly more problems than it has actually solved, comparable to the fossil fuel industry.
Goal of SuperAGI is to build useful autonomous agents and to do that there are bunch of things I have included in the project which is not there in autogpt etc, like agent trajectory fine tuning, running concurrent agents or agent clusters, configurable workflows for each iteration of agent

I mean, you completely missed the point of what "skin in the game" is about. It's not a magical antidote to anything, nor is it a guarantee of anything. It just means that if the plane goes down, you're on it. The point of antifragility is that the group benefits by the heroic total loss of the individual. This could be wipe out in business or it could be that your submarine didn't work and you were on it. That's not an antidote for anything, but it is a moral safeguard against total disregard.
AI is simply a tool, it all depends on how we are going to use it.
