Perhaps there will be a drop in high value information in the public domain, but right now, I can't exactly see LLMs impacting the incentives for creation and sharing of that information. I don't see how LLMs would make someone go "oh well, AI is here, I might as well stop providing people with no-strings-attached high quality information", if the existence of search engines didn't make them stop already.
Amazon's delivery always felt odd to me because of this exact situation. Long term how sustainable can it be to work on such an extreme scale like that? The margins they must be hiding on via products must be good.

I've seen quite a few videos of Lancet drones taking out counter-battery radars. There are issues there (a Russian general got in big trouble for speaking out about this), but it is largely overstated.

HIMARS are basically identical in capabilities to the Russian Tornado S MLRS (which is actually a little newer than HIMARS). Turn off the GPS and the accuracy is worse than artillery.

Lancets don't generally run into EW issues because if there is EW in the area, the spotter drone is affected.

Losses are a very subjective thing and if you look through Oryx yourself, you'll see some interesting repetition. I'll leave that there.

I've watched almost every video Perun has made, but he's not always right.
Perhaps, but EleutherAI for example is a nonprofit that has trained several open source LLMs.

Piketty breaks this down in historic terms for all countries for which data is available in Capital and Ideology, tldr, a very small percentage of people have gotten much richer than everyone else for the last 200+ years, it's just gotten extreme after progressive taxes and regulations were rolled back in countries circa the Reagan/Thatcher years.

I'm organizing the publishing of my thoughts of technology development and design. This has been something I have been mulling for decades. Completely uncompensated. I'm not doing any of this for reasons I can understand it is just what I think about and do.

Originally I saw a website as a way to hang out a shingle. Until recently I was thinking I could just publish away and maybe someone would hire me based off the website.

Currently I don't feel the same way regarding publishing on the web. I will be me more guarded in what I share.

Ah no looks like I'm wrong. I updated my comment.
Not if they can't afford the basics, though. Another way of framing the problem GP is pointing out is: necessities are getting increasingly expensive relative to trinkets and niceties.
Reasoning about and following the control flow of the proposed code hurts me inside. If Go adds function coloring via (e.g. python's async and/or yield concepts), I'm out, because I don't want to use this, much less encounter it in the form of a bug in some library.

Java and C++ are largely inferior for my typical purposes, but at the end of the day they work fine and are stable in terms of direction, and don't tend to repeatedly bloat the language over pedantry. If you want top-notch performance, there's already C, C++, and Rust.

I am not a fan of the function coloring shit in Python and Javascript.

I don't want the kitchen sink!
I think that Wendover has the best summary: https://youtu.be/J-M98KLgaUU

Here's the tl;dr:

The "last foot" problem is the biggest killer. Getting a drone into the air and to its target is not the hard problem - getting a package safely to the ground at someone's home is.

It would require either a very specific neighborhood or a big advance in computer vision and AI tech.

Where we have seen success in this space are places with dedicated delivery zones in controlled environments where existing transport infrastructure is not a good alternative.

Also this quote: "most people are simply willing to wait two or three days to receive their package while ALL customers wants their packages delivered as cheaply and simply as possible."

Uber eats and door dash largely solve the problem that drone delivery was supposed to solve and if you're going to have autonomous delivery doing it via ground robots is much easier than trying to do it from a drone.

I'm not the person you need to convince about that.
That is an implementation detail, not a problem with rpm spec. When comcast builds rpms, the entire chain of required software is built with it. I should add: it is trivial to make integration tests to catch exactly what you describe. If the software is not built internally then the infra team ensures the required repos exist and dependencies match up to official repo rpms.

None of that has to do with the difficulty of rpm spec, but entirely with organizational planning. You do plan while building software.. right?

Also github does the exact same thing but with deb. It works in the real world. Quite well, too!

Right? It's like being outraged that someone got charged for attempted murder but demand they did nothing wrong because the target is still alive.

>retained enough of a child's sensibility to spend all of his life on animation

I think most passion projects come from the inner child to some extent.
Most wells these days go with uv, not sure if that handles that. Personally I don't bother, but I also pull from creeks and rivers nearby for more tainted water with the intention of exposure. Been doing it for decades now. Wouldn't recommend it. That said, uv might be a plausible answer (I know a few public wells where you pay to fill up which is treated with uv and is all they use).
I don't know the internals, so I'm guessing, but for password sync between iCloud devices Apple might require a hardware protected key (like in a TPM). In which case it does make sense that this requires a native process running on the host. At least until that can be exposed in a meaningful way through a Web API. I doubt it's as simple as querying the iCloud servers for the plaintext password.

> N=1 but my grandpa loved doing the NYT crossword and still ended up with absolutely terrible Alzheimer's. Notably the article only mentions a 9 to 11 percent reduction, so I wonder what the mechanism at play here is (or if there's some sort of reversed cause and effect here, i.e. people with a certain brain characteristic that reduces Alzheimer's are more likely yo play crosswords etc.).

Good question - I'm also curious the effectiveness of this vs placebo. Does any regular critical thinking help stave off Alzheimer's?

I must've pissed someone off at HN
I posted a link to an article about [1]Ford trucks a few hours ago and made a comment on that post basically saying I thought Ford was out of touch with farmers who live near me.

The post was bumped to the front page before I submitted my comment. I checked the comments about an hour later and the post was still there and had 27 points and my comment got 8 points.

The odd part is when I check it about an hour later my HN "Karma" fell from 4997 to 4811, and the post got buried down to #650 and the points were unchanged.

I don't know how "Karma" or rankings works here, but that seems a bit odd.

Capitalism predates consumerism by 4 centuries. The interest capitalism eventually took in the development of consumerism was mainly due to industrial surplus after the world wars. At that point, politicians were already looking into consumerism, as a form of social control.
This is a bit of a frame trap. Here’s another metric:

==2021==

Life expectancy in EU: 80

Life expectancy in US: 76

==Rolling back to 2008==

Life expectancy in EU: 79

Life expectancy in US: 78

What’s the point? Maybe GDP isn’t the most important indicator. The US can double it’s GDP by making healthcare more expensive and extracting every last dime from the elderly, but can it actually improve quality of life for people? [1]

As a point of comparison, here's my demo from a recent presentation of firing up 1 million (1,000,000) Elixir (BEAM VM) threads, sending them all a "Hello!" message, and then each thread waits a random amount of time between 0 and 2 seconds to send a message back of "Process <their number> received message <themessage>!"

At the same time, I am running the Erlang observer beside it to watch what happens to the CPU and memory consumption and how quickly it recovers/cleans up the garbage.

The biggest bottleneck here is the terminal's ability to keep up, but the observer seems to reflect what's happening accurately.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxyYKnashR0

The code I used: https://gist.github.com/pmarreck/4cc8f2f55a561ebce2012085a3a...

These features have been built into Erlang (and thus Elixir) since the 1980's. I'm sure many of you have heard of the Actor model and/or Erlang's "legendary" implementation of it, but I don't know how many have actually seen it in action with monitoring kit running.

I think it would be great for Go if it offered language-level support like this, but given the extremely resource-efficient implementation (both in spawning and runtime consumption) of threads on the BEAM VM, coupled with the ease of concurrency which comes directly from only permitting immutable values, I don't think it will ever be matched.
My dad was the science/math teacher at the small rural high school (a boarding school even) I attended in the 70s. I remember that we had a bunch of bake sales to raise money to purchase a Compucolor II (IIRC we chose it because it had a built in floppy drive which was an add-on for the Apple II). When we finally got the computer it was in a large closet of the science room. My dad let me have the keys to the computer room anytime I wanted so myself and a few other nerds could go over to hack on games in the evenings. We were writing a Monopoly game as I recall.
You meant getting worse.
I dunno man. I think this is just kind of a bias you have towards those processors being prevalent. It’s the first time I’ve heard of them.

x64 is generic enough to mean anything, and from popularity I have only seen it to mean x86_64.

I wasn’t nearly alive when any of those Alpha processors came out, so I am sure I am biased towards the more modern definition.
I want attribution if I inspire a thought in AI.

I'm surprised the nerve the issue has struck in me.
Isn’t this assuming people stay in fixed “compartments” over their lifetime?

My experience with social safety nets in EU is that they have been there when I’ve needed them - when I was a poor student, when I was sick — and now that I’m in a different life phase I pay that forward

Thank you. I am extremely happy with my purchase and it's well worth the cost.

My point to the GP was that it's trivially doable to get to 10k a year ballpark car cost without doing anything too crazy.

If you are curious, it's a hybrid XLE with AWD. I wanted the hybrid, AWD is standard here in the north east and XLE is the lowest model that comes with (fake) leather seats which we wanted due to having small kids.
Hi, just asking, I'm interested in embedded but as an outsider I fail to understand how would I go about making custom board? I googled a lot, but I still fail to grasp how do you make the board? How do you program the chip? How can you test your board? How can you prototype on an arduino, if you'll use different architecture STM vs Atmega, etc...
I've done some arduino projects using VSCode and Platformio and I want to level up my skill level, however I've been struggling to find a resources that goes throught the process of actually making the product from scratch (starts with nothing and ends with a programmed product on custom board). For example, I have this project of mine where I make smart watches using an arduino and e-ink paper display. I would like to read / watch a resource where I learn to design a board that has custom STM32
I think about this too. I can drink a cup or two of water over a couple hours... unless I squeeze a little bit of lemon into it, in which case I can drink myself hyponatremic. It's the same, to an extent, with things like Diet 7-Up. If being super well hydrated is a good thing, then I guess what I get out of flavored drinks is ultrahydration?

I don't know why this is. Seltzer doesn't do it. I assumed it had something to do with sodium, but, then, the lemon works too.
Ironically one of the areas it _is_ being used successfully is in delivery of blood to some areas in Rwanda, but they're using fixed-wing drones and are even doing slingshot launches. [1]

The economics are totally different, though. The "product" is very high value and has a short shelf life, so being able to deliver it quickly is a big benefit.

On top of that, using a fixed-wing delivery vehicle and launching it with a human-powered slingshot makes it actually reasonably energy-efficient.

Wife and I have been together for 8+ years and finances is still the #1 area we struggle with (more than sex, more than children), an area we are actively working on improving. When we first had our hiccups, someone suggested we divide our finances as such:

- A shared account (shared expenses)
- An account (for my eyes only; buy whatever - no questions asked)
- An account (for her eyes only; buy whatever - no questions asked)

Far from perfect. We're now revisiting our setup and perhaps this article might nudge us in a different direction.
My Dad had two Compucolor 8001s when I was a kid. One he used as his work machine, and the other as a "backup" I used. They felt very advanced for the time (early 80s) and I learned BASIC programming on them, drawing colored lines on the screen using the light pen as my first program. All the ports on the back were 25-pin ports and I learned a little bit about electrical interfaces from my Dad when I fried his Compucolor by plugging the floppy drive unit into the keyboard port.
The difference is both direct ground contact and fuel capacity.

Even if a drone could carry the energy equivalent of a 20 gallon fuel tank with it, it would waste the majority of that energy both keeping itself and its energy aloft.

Tires and other ground plane vehicles, mitigate the majority of that waste in exchange for increased navigational difficulty (regarding obstacles like buildings and trees but also moving objects like vehicles in its path).

The self-driving robots made some sense but only for very local (couple of block radius) delivery.
>I know it’s arguably the best beverage to consume

Not arguably, it factually is.

I've also never understood the concept of being "bored" with water. Not everything in life has to be a sensual experience. Why not drink it because its good for you and save the flavoured beverages as treats?
How about each agreeing to contribute to a joint checking account per month. Like $5K each per month to the joint account.

For those of us who own our own business or are self-employed, my business account is mine, and my partner's business account is hers.
All of my personal experience with this points to the opposite. Both my parents kept separate bank accounts and had one joint one for bills. I decided to follow the articles advice and simplify to just one and it was the worst divorce my attorney had ever seen. YMMV.

Also, if you entangle your personal finances, I wouldn’t say “staying together” is what your doing, it’s more you are now trapped into supporting the other person (like I was) and they took advantage.

Huh I’ve been using a Thinkpad X1 Nano for nearly 2 years now primarily for personal dev work, and it’s by far my favorite laptop I have ever owned. It replaced a 2020 M1 MacBook Air, which replaced a 2016 MacBook Pro, which replaced a 2009 MacBook Pro. This laptop is so good, it will take a really good reason for me to upgrade before a decade. I pair it with a much more powerful desktop, so I wanted a lightweight laptop that’s totally capable, and I have found it absolutely delivers. I’ve been running Arch Linux on it for what it’s worth.

On the other hand, I cannot stand my work M1 MacBook Pro, but that’s primarily because it weighs so much and the keyboard is pretty mediocre, so it’s not fun to travel with. It’s more of a docking laptop, which defeats the purpose of a portable machine for me.

This is a concern, though I'd argue unrelated to the concern about people no longer contributing publicly online, and one that was already present with SO. I've seen SO posts specifically reference or criticize the "copy paste" crowd that is just taking the answer and putting it into their code without thought. Some people will use any technology blindly.
No value judgement here, but how else would you enforce it?
Very interesting comment. I've read it a few times.
I don't understand couples that keep separate finances. When you get married its "we" and not "me". It seems like keeping one foot out the door. Note: I've been married for 23 years with everything tracked in joint accounts the entire time but we do have a small "fun money" monthly budget item for each of us that is a black box.
Most people on well water (are recommended to) test once a year for bacteria, and don't bother with UV filters unless they need to, in my experience.

This idea that cars - which are a vastly more expensive and often slower way to get around cities - are by fundamental nature of the working class while bicycles belong to the elite, borders on the absurd.

It's only this way because North American urban design forces lower-income people into least-common denominator poorly planned areas where cars are the only practical way to navigate. It doesn't have to be like that.

I do agree that the "rising tide raises all boats" rhetoric is largely bunk. But I don't think that this one particular measure, taken at an anomalous time, is sound footing for a counterargument.
