1. Unfulfilled expectations dictated by the society around you - since we are herd animals, that runs deep below our consciousness and exhausts us. To deal with fatigue people start to look for ways to calm down this part of the brain, ergo substances.

That's it. No need to write 25 long paragraphs about that.

Electron apps seems to generally work pretty well now with correct arguments, but somehow got glitchy when I attempt to snap them to left/right grid in gnome. I have a wide monitor so this drives me nut.

Recently, games performance on wayland seems to regress, either framerates get cut in half, or previously working games suddenly full of graphical issues. Probably nvidia's fault again. I'll see if nvidia 535 driver fixed that.
dunno if it was inspired or obvious, but I remember the Konqueror window didn't flicker or the icons change jarringly when going from filesystem to web.... That's what made all the difference.

Is it really harmful to the economy, or only to entrenched players? Coding AI should be a benefit to many, like open source is. It opens the source even more, should be a dream come true for the community. It's also good for learning and lowering the entry barrier.

At the same time it does not replace human developers in any application, it might take a long time until we can go on vacation and let AI solve our Jira tickets. Remember the Self Driving task has been under intense research for more than a decade now, and it's still far from L5.

It's a trend that holds in all fields. AI is a tool that stumbles without a human to wield it, it does not replace humans at all. But with each new capability it invites us to launch new products and create jobs. Human empowerment without human replacement is what we want, right?

Can I suggest that you check, for a first glance and orientation, Schumpeter’s View on Innovation and Entrepreneurship (by Karol Śledzik, Uni Gdansk) - https://www.researchgate.net/publication/256060978_Schumpete...

> In his earlier view (emphasized in The Theory of Economic Development, originally published in 1912), Schumpeter highlighted the function of entrepreneurs who is carrying out new combinations. He viewed the occurrence of discontinuous and “revolutionary” change as the core of “economic development” which breaks the economy out of its static mode (“circular flow”) and sets it on a dynamic path of fits and starts. Three decades later, in his Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy (1942), Schumpeter took the view that dynamic capitalism was executed to fail because the very efficiency of capitalist enterprise would lead to monopolistic structures and the disappearance of the entrepreneur

> It's the simple realization that good journalism requires good money

If this were about good journalism then the law wouldn’t be necessary at all. The revenue these companies are generating from the journalism content is from displaying a headline. The whole point of the law is that the actual content of these articles is so utterly worthless, that users can’t even be bothered clicking on it. A substantial portion of those users derive all of the limited value that they believe it has by reading the headline alone. There is no legislative solution to that problem. This is law is only a solution to the problem of useless businesses being selected out of the market by their consumers.

On the other hand, this shows GFW authors are more, and more considerate of the collateral damage, which is a surprise. It seems GFW has indeed became good enough to frustrate casual users to trigger uproar when windows update, or AWS ip ranges go belly up, or something.

VPN authors should chose the maximum collateral damage strategy to frustrate GFW authors, make China as close as possible to completely cutting off outside internet. No need to completely evade fingerprinting, instead, do the complete opposite, and try to mimic common protocols, and critical applications as much as possible.
Agreed but remember we're only looking at the first iteration of this stuff, like the internet in 1999.

By 2030 I would not be surprised if programming was mostly a human telling a computer what to do via text prompts. That is certainly the direction things have been moving.
I agree with everything you said about Fairphone, but their software support is decent when it comes for security updates (major Android versions upgrades are not guaranteed). They offer 5 years which is way better than average.

Their track record is also good I would say. Fairphone 2 started with Android 5 and it currently offered Android 10 upgrade.

It may depend on the brands, but one big brand of mayo here in France (Amora) has all kinds of weird crap, apart from "whipped egg with lemon and oil".

It has rapeseed oil, which to me seems dubious since it requires special processing to make it non-toxic.

It only has 5.1% eggs (according to the label).

It also has "flavorings", thickeners and coloring agents.

So yeah, it's nothing like the homemade mayo I make, which only has olive oil, a bunch of eggs, mustard, and indeed some salt. Mine doesn't need any sort of coloring and is thick enough.

I loved adventure games back in the day, and even more with games like Myst, where simple object combining doesn't work. Ok, you can die a few times in Broken Sword, but with Myst you must actually think and read the clues to solve a puzzle.

Also, text adventures. A lot of them from IF Archive, the ones for the Z Machine (games/zcode) such as Anchorhead, Curses!, Jigsaw, Enemies, All Thing Devours, Vicious Cycles, Slouch over Bedlam, Spiritwrak, Inside Woman... can be played even under a 486 CPU with just Frotz and can give you a deeper gameplay than a graphical adventure.
As a male you would also consume 2000 calories just doing nothing, so that puts you at 4000 calories in that day you would have consumed. So that's not that excessive.
the problem with chasing "equality of opportunity" is that it's basically impossible to quantify.

And when you do quantify it, you end up usually looking at something that is an outcome.

Example:
assume that
a) whether or not your parents are married when you are born
and
b) how rich your parents are
affect your opportunities for success.

These assumptions seem reasonable to me, but please tell me if you disagree with them.

In order to equalize opportunity for a new generation across different groups of people, you need to equalize outcomes amongst the current generation.

More generally, drastically unequal outcomes can often point to unequal opportunities earlier in the pipeline.

Assuming intelligence and conscientiousness, the two traits most correlated with success, are more or less equally distributed across all gene pools, then it does seem likely that if some groups tend to be less successful than others, it may be a cultural thing, because as a far amount of data has shown, having rich parents greatly increases the chances that you end up rich.

See for example all the legacy admissions at Harvard.

Of course, if you can reasonably show that, much like say the genes that make for good sprinters (lots of fast twitch muscle fibers), the genes for intelligence are not evenly distributed, then you could argue that a an imbalance of outcomes does not necessarily imply an imbalance of opportunities.

In practice, however, I do no think that American society is equal opportunity.

I'm a heterosexual white male, and honestly I think I've had an easier life as a result of it than I would have with pretty much any other set of gender/skin color/orientation.
Tangent: how would you incentivize people to provide this data with accruacry regarding payment. How do you prove how good the data is, compare it to others I guess or voting.
There’s a subtlety here. Something can still have a few bugs without being bug ridden. It’s the difference between a puddle and a flood.

X11 with i3, the setup I’ve used for years, is not bug ridden. There are quirks, but nothing fundamental, nothing that makes it a bad user experience.

Wayland, on the other hand, has been a dreadful experience. Some of the most fundamental things, like cursor rendering, window rendering, multiple monitors, clipboard, all have problems doing the basics.

To be clear, this is what I actually expected. My disappointment is that people have been preaching about Wayland for years, pushing a stronger and stronger line that it is fantastic, has great support, and is ready to switch to now. That just isn’t the case.
"Monopolistic competition" only exists between states at war, since any "monopoly", by definition, has no competition in the same polis.

Willing to confuse cause with effect for a moment, is it true that innovation has mainly been the child of centralized monopolies competing under their respective wartime governments? ...mayyybe... but much of what they did militarily was built on the back of peacetime (or at least freelance) amateur discoveries by their respective member bodies.

That's actually why, supposedly, America "won" the cold war. We promoted the birth of Mom's Garage Engineering.

[edit: Strike. "Engineering your home PC in your mom's garage" is what I meant to say. And clearly, that more than any military/industrial/monopolistic program has made America the dominant power in the global technocracy today.]
But does the paper imply that something like chunked encoding smuggled HTTP requests with an encrypted payload after the second chunk would work?

That is, assuming entry nodes are available as e.g. nginx proxies inside the Chinese ASNs and are allowed to operate serving websites to ASNs from foreign countries.

I'm mentioning nginx because there were some related bypass vulnerabilities in the past, and one could argue that they just missed updating them.
If performance and computing cost wasn't an issue (which it is!) then you could just have a page of code that continuously runs the LLM in a loop, outputting both the actual output and also some certain "short term memory state" that gets fed in to the next iteration, and that IMHO might get you at least halfway there.

Show HN: GitEase: Python3 CLI to simplify Git usage with LLM-assisted commits
When working on data science projects I often want to just save my work, without having to think deeply about what’s changed. I found the intentionality of Git to feel like friction in these times, and I built GitEase to simplify my workflow.

Instead of having to think about add/commit/push/pull with GitEase I just think about `ge load, ge save, ge share, ge undo`. And for even less thinking, I use an LLM (text-da-vinci-003) to generate commit messages by summarizing the diff.

Take a look, try it out, and I’d welcome any contributions & feedback.

Ask HN: Alternative revenue models for search engines?
Search has evolved significantly in the last couple of years and paid search seems to have become a viable business model in addition to advertising based business models.

Yet, there seems to be very limited exploration of alternative revenue models such as bundling search with other (paid) features or products. We are building a curated search engine for startups (https://www.symonda.com) and we want to better understand why this is the case.

Why is there limited innovation in search revenue models and what do you think the future revenue models for custom/curated search engines are?
Trying to get off the hook on a technicality isn't going to work. Lots of people use VPNs completely in the open without getting jailed, because they're not otherwise of interest, but if you are being targeted, nobody is going to care about your "sshing to aws" excuse. And ssh tunneling web traffic looks quite different from normal ssh usage anyways.

It surprises me, since after the Musk takeover the loginwall that existed on mobile was gone.

Both Azure and GCP have really good spot pricing in many regions (~90% off).

E.g. GCP C3 pricing is $0.003/vCPU hour and $0.004 for 1GB RAM -- where C3 = Intel Sapphire Rapids (latest gen), which should be quite a bit faster than a C5 (older Intel).

c3-highcpu-88 (44 real cores) is $0.344/hr hence

N2D (AMD Milan) has equivalents that's also in a similar price bracket

See: https://cloud.google.com/compute/vm-instance-pricing#general...

On a "smaller" cloud, Oracle cloud E4 (AMD Milan) prices are also a lot cheaper than AWS.

I don't want to debate this particular decision, but I do want to point out that you're taking some dubious legal concepts for granted.

There are opposing legal philosophies on how to interpret amendments 9 and 10, which say that people have rights and the government has powers. The question is always how to resolve when the two are in conflict.

Current SCOTUS majority holds an extremist view that when government exercises an unenumerated power, it essentially cancels the existence of an unenumerated right. That's why they look for historical laws that support their desired outcomes. Until recently, this was a fringe idea because it means the state governments get dibs on your unenumerated rights.

You're entitled to your opinion on this approach, but don't expect everyone to take that reasoning seriously.
Ancient Rome had this problem, which it 'solved' by selectively permitting various tribes to pass the limes (border) on exchange for military service. If the US is indeed an empire, it may choose this option.

In principle yes, gravitational waves dissipate energy into ordinary matter they pass through. However the coupling is extremely weak (that gravitational waves are so hard to detect is testament to this).

In fact this weak coupling is what makes GWs so interesting for observational astronomy: They propagate from the source to our detectors virtually unchanged. (This is in contrast to EM radiation, which is very easy to scatter.) For example the farthest we can see back with EM radiation is about 200k years after the Big Bang, when the plasma of the early universe recombined into neutral hydrogen. By contrast gravitational waves can see back to the Big Bang itself, so it is a truly unique source of information as compared with light.
Are drugs legalized, taxed, and regulated in Vancouver/SF?

If no, it’s a straw man argument.
What exactly do you mean by "embeddings" there?

The way a transformer-based LLM works is that right after tokenization you get a "vector of embedding vectors" i.e. an embedding for each token, and that gets processed by the actual transformer layers. If instead of a list of tokens you want to pass in a list of embedding vectors, that is trivial (assuming you're running a LLM with your own code locally), that would be a <5 line function.

However, I'm not really sure when/why I would want to do that, as "averaging embeddings of different prompts, some general optimization pattern (textual inversion style, indeed), or just iteratively shifting the input vector in some direction, walking down the latent space and generating output every step" are NOT really enabled by that - since that inherently must be a vector of token-embedding vectors combined with positional embeddings, you can't just average different prompts, and there isn't a clear way how to tweak the individual token embeddings that would map to tweaking the whole prompt in some meaningful direction.

In essence, your question seems to make sense if the text was converted to a single "embedding vector", but it's not, at every layer of a transformer model the state is a list of separate embeddings distinctly separated at a token level.
Absolutely. A PoC is supposed to be badly thought out, that’s the point. Get from A to B quickly, in whatever way possible, and then get feedback while building the real deal properly.

There has been some pushback against that idea on here, but I’m firm on it.

My approach these days is actually to get the PoC done with a lot of assistance from ChatGPT and copilot. It generally works great and fulfils the basic criteria, but isn’t production grade in the slightest. That’s fine - it means I can provide PoCs in the space of an hour or two, and it gives me something to aim for and refer to.

I think culture toward drinking is the determining factor. In my culture we are brought up around wine, heavy spirits, and beer. There is no such thing as comming of age by drinking yourself stupid as in UK, US or Australia for example. Intoxication is considered VERY bad form (embarassing). Usually when people feel they are becoming intoxicated they will excuse themselves and go home.
So you don't debate that there are junkies?

Currently junkies need the dealers to get their supplies. So they have to support crime, to meet their needs. And they get bad quality with usually extra poisenous additives. Legalizing would immmediately reduce or remove those 2 harms.

But I agree that we should not stop there, but rather help them stop being junkies at all, with various help programms. I just happen to think it is easier to reach people in legal ways, than criminalize them. But you seem to disagree here?
Because shovels, like other comments say below.
