The idea that there is some finite, known set of things that can go wrong when you build in the physical world seems naive at best.

If anything, software is more bounded than the physical world. A software program is composed of discrete states. The number of such states is finite and bounded by the memory of the computer (you can only form so many different program states in a finite memory space). In contrast, just cutting a board to length has an uncountably infinite number of ways for it to be wrong.
I’m not saying there isn’t bad wealth inequality. I’m just saying that it is very far from the worst in all of human history.
I suspect it's more that aspartame indirectly causes cancer, which is why it doesn't look, walk, or quack like a duck, but it DOES have a habit of feeding the ducks. What I mean by that is that candida LOVES aspartame, and candida, a fungus that lives in the human gut and feeds on sugars, alcohols, preservatives, and a few other things Americans in particular eat a ton of, HAS been seen to cause cancer. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24963692/

HALO insertions against an A2AD environment are suicide. Same with using something like an AC-130 in daylight. They rely on large, slow, easily detected transports.

Based on the post I replied to, it sounds like realtime updates are an important feature. All the accounts would have RSS feeds if someone wanted it in that format.

This is what working with an expert looks like. They can’t read your mind.

However unlike an LLM, an expert knows what questions to ask to help you express what you want. This is currently lacking in AI, it doesn’t know how to guide you towards a solution you can’t verbalize because you are not the expert and don’t know what to specify.
Certainly not good, but not all GET requests are equal. If these are responded to cheaply, at the point of connection termination, then it might be the case that no one has bothered to clean it up yet.
Sorry, is there an actual article with a real URL somewhere? Because this just goes to a lock screen going "create an account", so either everyone who upvoted this has a bluesky account, or the post got locked down and it's no longer information. It's just a gate.

> Hacker News is all that's left

While I visit here a lot I would guess that your claim that "HN is all that's left" is just wrong. There are hundreds if not thousands of forums and various gathering places where people are having conversations, just not in a place you are aware of.

> Where do you all get your info lately? How do you stay informed? I really don't know how to get a wide swath of information anymore with Twitter and Reddit gone.

MSM hasn't gone anywhere. And realistically speaking most news doesn't matter anyway.

But I do think the case of "I need to learn about X and it's not on reddit or twitter anymore" is a realistic concern. Hopefully search engines can fight the tide of LLM created bullshit and help you find what you need to know.
As usual, Ancient Greeks had it figured out already. Aristoteles wrote: "make war to have pace. Do business to enjoy leisure". That's the natural proclivity of 99% human beings. The other 1%, for whatever internal reason, does work for work's sake, and is often pushing civilization forward.

Maybe you're thinking of the zipper data structure? [1]

Where you represent the composite structure hanging from the point you want to mutate, so updating that point is merely dropping the header and appending the updated value as a new prefix.

That is because Twitter’s network produces content which currently has monetary value, while bsky currently has nothing and will run the loss-leader game of converting VC cash into network (which will someday produce value) for as long as they can.

It baffles me that this pattern is not better understood in this crowd.
you can see the traffic with a quick glance at the map app before leaving, but that's a pretty weak excuse anyways. you and i both know that there are people that need those turn by turn directions for reasons.
Yeah but I really don't want to install any GMS-related stuff on my phone, not even microg, I don't want to have services hanging in the background wasting RAM just because I sometimes watch YouTube :)
Elite schools want to protect the quota of ALDC (athletes, legacies, dean's interest list--kids of potential mega donors--, children of faculty). Also, they want to appear diverse, by having favored minorities. They don't really care about descendants of slavery; if they were, they would have admitted descendants of slavery (a narrow subset of black people).

Elites schools such as Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Stanford want to keep their exclusiveness. Only one way to achieve that is to recruit the kids of the elite class (uber wealthy, powerful politicians, dictators, Cervant class of the elite); also have elite companies recruit people from such schools.
Not that this isn't nice, but won't it inevitably be the case for 99.999% of users (if they actually get to be large enough) that they reply on some other service (or BlueSky itself) to provide their @domain? I can't imagine that the full solution for account portability requires every single user to own their own domain in perpetuity.

The guarantee is that the AT protocol doesn’t work that way. They literally could not, technically. You own your data, the entire protocol is built around that basic fact.
There's a reasonable amount of disparate signals. For instance, internal escalation in Russia with Wagner group, movement of nuclear arms to Belarus, Ukraine repeatedly warning of attack on nuclear plant in Zaporizhzhia, Poland request for nuclear weapons, certain areas in the US are becoming mobile, uptick of successful in cyber attacks in US, readiness tests in US, comms and other media-focused messaging is becoming strategically simplified and exacting, and FYPs of Tiktok: Tiktok videos showing US soldiers being fed surf and turf, specific types of pro-military videos suddenly popping up, lots of repeat videos and nonsense videos for a few days, videos being flagged immediately for talking about certain topics. And now Twitter is further throttling access to its content, including requiring explicit login. At the same time Youtube is increasing its transparency of its forced engagement to positively identify and track viewers of videos. Google also appears to be de-indexing previously accessible web content. Reddit API rules are officially in effect, no more port forwarding in Mullvad, new privacy agreements in ProtonMail. The ability to trace individual users of the internet in near to actual realtime has increased dramatically, and the ability to turn the internet on and off is being tested at present (e.g., Reddit blackout).

It could be the latest blunder by Elon, no doubt. However there are indications of something else stirring.

All market penetrators do this, bait and switch. Some people never learn. The answer is (truly) open protocols.
Its counterproductive.

Germany, Austria, Switzerland have completely legal regimes including brothels, and Victoria in Australia just advanced their legal regime (including brothels) into a decriminalized regime to acknowledge deficiencies in a legal regime.

The goal is harm reduction. Its not intended to be a solution for trafficking, the existing labor trafficking solutions are intended to be a solution for trafficking in the sex industry.

For (otherwise) developed nations to be just getting around to single sided criminalization is embarrassing.
I've never seen an in-car video feed shared by Tesla. Nor can I find any reference to such an incident.
We’re already well into the medium term. Content has been leaving since November, and a lot of people are already primed to exit if the site becomes unusable for more than a weekend.
It could be that folks who perhaps aren't too married to their current workflow are adopting to this newer paradigm faster?

For example, for places where English isn't the first language, LLMs are widely used for content-based tasks (posts, emails, support), because waiting 10s for Bard or GPT to output something higher quality is worth their time. Perhaps these folks end up being more attuned than usual, more in harmony and sync with the LLMs?

Speaking from experience, it took a while for me to move from vim to vscode, from Javascript to Typescript. We probably prefer our silos and feel uber comfortable in existing setups.
Would love an invite code if you still have any.

It's not whataboutism to point out that in the USA, the default mode of life is bad for your health.

I dont mean that in the "everything causes cancer" big unknown sense. I mean that in quantifiable sense that allows you to weigh net benefits.

Eg, prolonged stress is bad for your cardiovascular system and lowers life expectancy by quantifiable amounts. Lack of money causes prolonged stress. So if a stimulant is what allows you to be productive enough to have ample money, you're arguably better off, because of that and the multitude of other health benefits from having money.
Even without the junior getting overconfident, being able to read an article about something you're trying to learn and also being able to detect bullshit on a subject you don't know about is a skill in itself.

If I decided to learn Rust today, I'd be able to catch the sentences that go against my intuitions in programming and double check them. If I were to read an article about, say, superconductors, I don't have that same intuition as I do for coding. I'd have to fact-check every single sentence or just take it as truth.
It seems like loading Twitter up with debt servicing was always a bad idea, stock dip or not, considering what its revenues were like. It wasn't in great shape before but the amount of money it now has to spend servicing debt is a nightmare for anyone trying to make that company profitable. His strategy for buying it simply doesn't make sense.

How did you really use it for emergency info if you weren't logged in? You'd find out there was an emergency and manually go check for details?

I’m being snarky but you keep commenting on these posts with imo intentionally naïve comments.

People will make super smart robots if they have the tech and there is no regulation stopping it. Why people are pretending this is some far out inconceivable idea ? Denial ?

> Well you need some sort of post secondary education these days if you don't want to be stuck in entry level jobs.

This is entirely because people created this notion that everyone should go to college. The vast majority of jobs don't need specialized education that college is supposed to offer. If you start deemphasizing college as a basic requirement, while simultaneously improving the education system from the bottom up, you will create better outcomes and a more educated population.

Most people don't have college degrees in the US and yet it isn't the case that half of the population is unemployed.

Indeed -- it's actually used in the FreeCAD Assembly 3 workbench as a solver (I think that supports switchable/pluggable alternatives now though)
There's TAO which is an open source CORBA implementation that works just as well as any of the commercial implementations. Nobody in their right mind would use CORBA for a new project of course.

Do you think colleges will just keep tuition at $60,000 and shrink student population by 95%?

Of course not, they’ll lower tuition or come up with their own loans.

Easy money just makes things more expensive - education, housing, healthcare, whatever.
it should be pretty obvious, it's true for devs as well. ChatGPT helped me greatly with getting started with Qt/Qml because I'd never used it before, it's fantastic for exploration. I've worked about a decade in Python and there it does little for me. In fact often code can look very unidiomatic. It makes sense, these models are large and generic and so whether you're ahead or below an average level of knowledge usually determines how much you learn from the output.

When people claim that technology disadvantages workers it usually just reflects their prejudices about working people. So called knowledge workers like to think only they can leverage tech while the call center workers are fixed automatons. But in reality people at a lower skill ceiling have a much easier time leveling up.

ChatGPT when it works well is basically a Young Lady's Illustrated Primer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Diamond_Age). Giving underskilled people free access to information will always benefit them the most.

I'm convinced that if anything is going to reverse the migration to the cloud, it's Oxide.

Is there anything in the works for using some of this in a homelab? Mainframes (unofficially) have Hercules, be good to see something similar for folks who want to experiment.
Can I ask though, is outrage an effective path to finding solutions? Can we not just have a long term view and look at what kinds of incentives and other things we can try over time?

I’d argue the us vs. them mentality is exactly what stops smart solutions from emerging.
For that, the analogue would be memcpy; but both alternatives lose the ease of surrounding the string with other text, since you either have to do the length calculations or define helper functions.
Thanks! It can be helpful for launching MVPs
I would imagine something that can think 1000x as fast as a person and has an IQ of 300 would be God like to us.
If you want to feel the equivalent impact, try browsing old.reddit on a mobile device. They have actively bastardized and impeded readability in order to force people to the app. Also, NSFW is a entire feat to try and get loaded on a phone. Sometimes it just doesn't even give you an age prompt.

And to be honest, I think old.reddit is also on its way out. It's inevitable. So we're going to experience this shit storm all over again.

I think part of the point of it is to assure people working on niche problems that embody some of the qualities of what pg is describing as great work. It’s easy to look at the shiny zeitgeist and feel a lot of self doubt if you’re off working on something few outside the niche seem to understand. I’m not sure if this an advice piece as much as an encouragement piece to those readers going through those trenches.
technical leadership determines technology... with some (or a lot) of "legacy" tech remaining in place.

At a company, I was brought in to help Version 2 get off the ground (serverless everything, Typescript). Version 1 worked just fine (PHP + VM), they kept none of it. When I left two years later, the new tech leadership started Version 3 (Ruby).

> Clyde P. Kruskal proposed the fetch-and-add operation for the NYU Ultracomputer project.

I had no idea that my Discrete Structures professor from undergrad had such a storied CV! Kruskal was one of my favorite professors. One thing that sticks in my mind about him was what he said when he got to the Honor Code section of the syllabus while going over it on the first day of class. Instead of giving us the customary speech (humorous, menacing, or otherwise) about catching students cheating in the past and their academic records being ruined he simply said "I trust you all implicitly to do the right thing" and moved on. He was a great teacher and was similarly engaging for the rest of the semester.
Another lens is that reinventing or independently arriving at existing (and well-regarded) ideas, methods, systems, etc., is a validation of your own creative process.

It's very difficult to stay on top of all available tools. I find that so long as it's something I can do with shell tools, awk, or other scripting environments I'm often better of inventing than searching as when you create your own tools you're addressing your own specific needs and constraints, whilst when evaluating a third-party tool, you have to undergo much the same process ("does this do what I want it to do?") often without the ability to readily modify the tool to fit a specific use case.

That's not always true, but it often is.

And of course, creation helps expand your own creative abilities.

If mtr is frequently re-invented, that's a strong validation of the original concept as well.

I use it extensively both local ML models and LLMs, LLMs are extremely flexible but can cause headaches if you trust the answers too much, it does help in some situations especially quickly spitting out Python data massaging scripts(after 5-10 back and forths). But it does it, I could write the script myself but I rather save energy on problems LLMs can’t solve.

For simple things LLMs can excel but as you add complexity, you really need to double check
