> The craziest thing I see though is people importing the Atom namespace into RSS feeds to get some of the elements.

Interestingly enough you can’t to do the reverse: because RSS never got a proper XML namespace, its elements can’t be embedded into other XML. I can understand that the early RSS 0.9x efforts didn’t do XML namespaces since those were rather new then, but the publication of RSS 2.0 could have been the right moment to introduce one, I think.

Stop hounding people to be the repeatedly ground in impression by repetition. So much time is wasted today... When I think of all the broadcasting/transmission medium throughput that's eaten up by carrying unsolicited advertisements to people that could either A) be left unused, or used to provide better performance for everyone, or B) utilized for, heaven forbid, the public calling out for proposals from service providers!
Interesting, so I think you're trying to draw attention to Article II yes?

"""
Article II
In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as
such:
(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
"""

I wouldn't recognize this as a dictionary definition but rather a legal document outlaying its premises and defining its terms. All but item b I'd argue are a form of killing, the ending of the demographic line either immediately or incrementally. You have to look at all these definitions in terms of the ultimate end being sought after by the perpetrators and these five categories are all means of doing so. The only stretch definition is b which I imagine is a much slower form of destruction. It's still a necessary clause though because imagine a dictator amputating the hands of all members of some group and claiming they didn't kill them therefore they didn't commit genocide. That would be a fraudulent claim because they effectively severely debilitated their ability to provide for themselves and function, they severely wounded that group so that one wouldn't be surprised if they did wind up dying and not thriving some time later on account of that action through indirect causes directly tied to that original offense.

It's not an ancient word however, apparently it's a 20th century construction coined by Raphael Lemkin.
"""
He decided to create a name for the crime without a name. He came up with genocide, which he defined as the destruction of a nation or an ethnic group. He said he created the word by combining the ancient Greek word genos (race, tribe) and the Latin cide (killing).
"""
https://www.facinghistory.org/ideas-week/where-did-word-geno....

The book he coined the word was authored in 1944, the UN convention was signed in 1948 https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/genocide-convention..., very close in time and I'd say complimentary but still a legal document meant to get in writing specific means of destruction for that genos. So it's a emphasis on the means, not the end, and I'd say an equivalent definition is intentionally causing the end of a collective bloodline however that end may be accomplished.
not in real dollars
I've conducted hundreds of interviews and I agree about the tech stack, but disagree about culture.

Tech is usually easy to pick up, and highly company specific. Any good engineer should be able to learn new tech, and things will change over time.

Culture is much harder to "teach". For me testing for culture fit has become much more important than tech acumen, particularly at more senior levels. You need to have a sense of at least whether the candidate aligns with the company culture, and is willing to fit.

Not doing this risks several scenarios:

a) The candidate takes a while, but finally fits with the culture. This is suboptimal but ultimately a good outcome.

b) Candidate refuses to fit with the culture. This will likely cause performance issues, and the employee will ultimately leave or get fired. Not a good outcome.

c) Candidate actively subverts the company culture. This is the most destructive outcome and can be quite damaging, particularly at higher levels.

Checking that someone will be a good fit for the company is better for both the company and the candidate.
ROCm is one of the worst GPU software (+drivers) I ever touched, randomly dropping/ not supporting GPUs, random crashes without any proper information etc not integrated with any meaningful framework (It was ~3 years ago).

I have more hope in Apple/Intel joing "AI" chips market over AMD even if they make good enough hardware you cant use it without a lot of software problems (srsly just get your act together AMD, as community support is slowly dying after last AMD dramas and).

Sometimes they do! The `unhex` function, for example, has finally made it's way into the core function set. So did `json1`.

Some text functions like `trim` have been added recently, and there will even be a (long-awaited) `timediff` function in the next release.
So I mean, I'm from New England, and maybe this is just a cultural thing, but I think that well-treated pine looks really nice - a golden hue from an oil-based finish, plus pretty brown knots. I don't love the table design here, live edge isn't my thing, but this wood looks great to me: https://cswoods.com/products/eastern-white-pine-dining-table...

But you can get nice grain out of other softwoods, too. Because it's very easy to get hold of here, I use white fir sometimes in furniture. Not "fine" furniture, but simple house stuff. This tabletop was actually the first thing I ever did in my shop and while it hasn't held up amazingly (my breadboards popped and I haven't fixed them yet) I quite like it for what it is as a learner messing around, more or less, and the sap intrusion along the breadboard still makes me happy when I see it: https://i.imgur.com/nipUhLs.jpg

Please consider the context of the conversation you’re replying to before getting upset about nothing.

Nobody said anything about having your non-technical mom set it up. The context was using a raspberry pi and ble to pull data from a sensor which heavily implies the person wishing to do it has a decent technical background. What I said is completely reasonable in this context.

Hosting a local server to do data collection isn’t normally something a non-technical person cares about in the slightest to begin with, so it’s pretty irrelevant. Having my devices local and using a hub of sorts to do everything is ideal, to non-technical people it’s a huge hassle. They want cloud enabled easy setup devices.

All the time I want to share a book with people, often one that is somewhat well known

https://www.amazon.com/Time-Illusion-Jonathan-Schell/dp/0394...

or one that is obscure but I think significant

https://www.amazon.com/Information-Machines-Their-Impact-Med...

(I wrote the only review!). Amazon is probably the best choice in a lot of cases but I’ve got numerous objections to it, if I go to the WorldCat page

https://www.worldcat.org/title/The-time-of-illusion/oclc/184...

I see I can get that book at my Uni library, the public library has it, and so does the other college in town. But Worldcat tells you very little about the book that would motivate you to do so. I used to like Goodreads, but it has gone downhill and it is really AMZN anyway.

Some books have a good Wikipedia page, say

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singularity_Sky

but the link to actually get the book sends you this this sad place

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:BookSources/0-441-0107...

which really will get you to resources like WorldCat and AMZN but it has a huge number of links to low quality resources and is keyed by ISBN which is not good because: (a) ‘old’ books that aren’t that old don’t have ISBN, that Bagdikian
book doesn’t, a lot of 1980s books don’t have it and (b) some publishers (South End Press for instance) reuse the same ISBN number for the same book.

I’d really like to see some site that makes good “landing pages” for books that document the book well but also help you get a copy if you want. Maybe something like that would make the pages on demand and make you write a short review.

Bees are astonishingly good at making decisions
Thank you! I did not use the concepts directly as prompts, but did ask the concept-model to also output a visual description (which was only used internally). This description I then piped through GPT4 (which was much better at this then GPT3), then added some modifiers, and only then sent it to Midjourney. You will often note though, that language comprehension is not really on point – like often it does show the right elements in the image, but not necessarily in the same relationship to another as they are described in the concept...
My wife took a hard line early on—no pictures of the kids on social media. I thought she was being a little silly but went along with it.

EMACS was always used for Lisp programming, since day zero. It had always a mode for Lisp programming. Later GNU Emacs became popular and it was partly written in Lisp. Thus it was not unusual for Lisp users to provide Emacs modes for hacking other Lisp dialects than Emacs Lisp, because they could easily program it. Before SLIME, there was an integrated extension, then ILISP and ELI (from Franz). Nowadays SLIME and SLY are mosly used as IDE extensions for GNU Emacs..
"Also, people who put makeup and tight pants on for the gym, are looking to be hit on" This is very ignorant, and dangerously similar to saying people that are raped were asking for it because of the way they are dressed. Not at that level but very much victim blaming. So if someone does not want to be hit on they should do their best to look unattractive and unappealing otherwise they are asking for it? They should have to affect a 1000 yard stare as a signal not to get hit on, they cant just act normally? I am going to assume you are very young and have limited life experience. People like to look nice, for themselves. People should not have to live a certain way and dress a certain way to just be able to go into the world unmolested and unbothered. Ending this conversation now as I don't like your attitude towards women.

Yes! I've found this approach very useful with my own projects. I might not be out here inventing C++ or Linux, but it's actually not too hard to find projects where you can apply well known computing techniques or technologies to a new domain to do something truly new.

I think this is really motivational because doing something new and showing the world is really fun!

To anyone who says we can just flip the off switch on AIs who go rogue: where exactly is the off switch to capitalism, or corporations, or global supply chains, or industrialized agriculture, or social media, or the State?

AIs aren't a new phenomenon: we've been co-evolving with them for millennia, for both good and ill. The new more powerful iterations ("vast arrays of inscrutable floating-point matrices") are nested in those previous memetic life forms (corporations in particular [0]); and once something becomes infrastructure (and/or an income stream to some subset of humanity), it becomes non-trivial, if not impossible, to turn off.

This American Life just did a segment where the experts were very skeptical of both the theories presented in this article - that the first encounters near Spain were caused by a traumatic event of a matriarch, and also that orca pods would communicate with each other to spread the behavior.

The theory presented in that segment was the first orcas are sort of like rowdy teenagers participating in a fad, and the newer event near Scotland was something of a coincidence.

It’s a good segment regardless of what you think, and the first half of the episode was one of the better reports of ChatGPT I have heard, so also of interest to people here. The name of the episode is “Greetings, People of Earth.”
I'd love to see the source control change log for HN. I can't even remember a single visible change in all the years I've been a user. I think there have been a few under the surface though.

It takes willful blindness at this point not to comprehend how bad the panopticon is for us, and that's before even venturing into more conspiratorial analyses of the real purpose of all this infrastructure and what it's meant to be used for. I've noticed these dismissals will often take the form of a sort of learned helplessness/powerlessness, i.e. "they already know everything about me, so why wouldn't I just hand over my retinal scan, DNA, and images of my private moments?" It's just a method of coping with the subconscious recognition of how bad the situation has become.
Private companies (Salesforce, snowflake, etc) offer "government cloud" services where they are restricted by law (fedramp and others) from using your data for their own purposes. Do you not believe that is actually happening? I've worked on them myself.

> I think in the future, the main value of going to college will be socializing, networking, and learning "life" skills through interactions with others, dorm mates, etc. The teaching part will be already taken care of by AI.

Based on a recent experience, I agree.

I'm not a professional software engineer or architect, but I have a web app used by a few thousand people a month and recently decided to rewrite it using modern web technologies — Vue 3, Vite, Pinia, TypeScript, and serverless functions. I was familiar with these, but hadn't used them for a real project. During the rewrite, I leaned hard on GPT-4/Phind/Copilot as teachers/pair programmers. It's hard to overstate how helpful these tools were.

For the questions I had, search engines were hit-or-miss. Within a few days it became clear that the pre-2023 "search engine" is dead, and that post-2023 search engines will look like these new LLM-powered tools. The future of topic-specific search engines is well represented by Phind, which leverages GPT-4 but is also trained with current technical documentation and includes references in answers.

This is really something that has to be experienced to be understood. I have a friend who's a professional software engineer, and he had to watch me for a couple hours before it really clicked. I recommend trying this if you haven't already.
It's not "great for everyone". It's not great for individuals in the categories that up until now had been advantaged.

On the other hand I bet there are more people playing Doom 1 & 2 today than Crysis. Doom's gameplay held up better, and 3rd party WADs (in large part facilitated by the primitive graphics making it easy for one-man creators) gave Doom a life of its own.

Electric fish barriers generate really strong fields, using buildings' full of power electronics. They are surrounded by fences with prominent warning signs, and if you fall into the water I'm pretty sure you die.

So maybe something like this could be "switched on" temporarily -- run on batteries for a few minutes -- but you sure wouldn't want the boat to run with this on all the time. It probably wouldn't even be possible, energetically.

But yeah, electric eels do exist.

I don't refute anything you say, it just sounded like OP thought something like "well in Europe they all just live in their inherited ancestral homes" where as the reality is that people mostly rent, and of those that own a lot of people bought new homes via parental support (which is still not the same as the supposedly hobbit-esque family domicile that passed from one generation to the next for the last 400 years we all supposedly live in).

I'm sure there really are centuries old farmhouses in Tyrol that really work like OP mentioned, but it's not the common way for Europeans to live.

It means that the Bretton Woods economic system was very favorable for Americans while it lasted. And the middle class could afford a house, a car, have multiple kids, send those kids to college, and have the living standard referred to as "the American dream".

You could even get a job without a college degree, marry in your 20s and sustain a household on one job.

Perhaps I am a bit too cynical here, but I think that it is harder to criticize a long-winded article than a short bold statement -- thereby making it slightly more comfortable to publish.
