Manning was very sloppy; that's true. But she also released very important information about war crimes. The intent was good, the execution was bad.

As for the Arab Spring, you can blame it for revolutions in Tunisia, Libya and Egypt (some good, some bad), but I don't think Syria has anything to do with it. And ISIS was the direct result of the US invasion of Iraq.
I thought "Ex Machina" portrayed this expertly, that a superintelligence with the motive to escape would develop psychopathic manipulation well before anything resembling empathy.
I think the real problem is that CSS mixes in two many different concerns.

If I want to create a reusable component I need to control the layout tightly, and use media queries for display size.

The user of the component needs to control the colour and cosmetic stuff, while also using media queries, but for dark/light mode.

All four use cases use the same bloody input - CSS! Which means all of the different parties are stepping on each others toes because they may accidentally set a property that needs to be set by a different party.

It's not designed for separation of concerns.

Most likely i just have different habits, but I never really understood how people can cope with such a massive amount of tabs.
I genuinely enjoy closing my browser after each day (or maybe just before a break) and starting with a fresh session, no saved sessions for me. For me this has three main benefits

- Less RAM, obviously, while this is not very important it's just nice to have.

- My Attention is directed to the things that I actually need right in that moment

- Even though my booksmarks are more or less messy, I know where to place what, I know where I can find things I need and for the temporary stuff I just have one folder which I work through or sometimes just plainly delete.

I'd say my absolute maximum would be 50 tabs. I doubt, that I ever went above that.

The extension from the OP still sounds nice, even for my use case. Will look into that.
... &$#*@($& !!

Latency metrics please! It is not only about bandwidth.
exactly. where were all these self proclaimed experts, who are now making confident predictions about AI, before attention is all you need? literally 100% confidently predicted AI like chatGTP was hundreds or thousands of years away, or would have if asked. these people are the real bots.

and i never saw a single person on HN or anywhere else raise concerns or even appreciate the true impact GTP would have today in 2018 when GTP was released and samples available! people coundnt get it right even when it was right in front of them. how can they think for a single second theyre getting it right now?

to my credit i recognized immediately what was going on in 2018 and to my knowledge i was the only person leaving comments warning people and begging people to support a pause of research. so by the only material metric, i am more qualified to make predictions than anyone here or even the experts who all confidently predicted that what is happening now would never happen in our childrens lifetimes.

i will never forget when hinton saw the light. when he started warning of danger and using the key words that are at the heart of the issue. and i realized i had been ahead of him. just because youre an expert in one thing, even the implementation of ML or AI, doesnt make you an expert on the broader consequences of AI.

Means tested welfare actively discourages marriage in poor people. As we’ve added more and more of these programs the divorce rate of poor people has skyrocketed. This has actively destroyed their communities and made them reliant on the state.

The welfare state should reward and incentivize marriage. The tax system does for middle and high earners and you see lower rates of single parenthood. The fact you can lose benefits if you’re lower income and married is the worst possible incentive.
Yes.

In VS Code if you do as below:

#%%

print("my python print")

#%%

Then you can run it as a cell. Crucially however, note that those delimiters are ALSO valid python code. So you just version as with everything else.
It's a Google-specific legacy mistake. IIRC, they even do (used to do?) two-space indentation for Python.
To me, the hype around the economic consequences feels like cover for the collapse that is already in the cards. So I agree, when the house collapses, it won't be because AI took our jobs, but the politicians will have their scapegoat.

I guess it's interesting that they're using Black over their own code formatter (YAPF) but since it's an open source project maybe that's fine?

If you were asking about Black specifically, it's very popular:

> The following notable open-source projects trust Black with enforcing a consistent code style: pytest, tox, Pyramid, Django, Django Channels, Hypothesis, attrs, SQLAlchemy, Poetry, PyPA applications (Warehouse, Bandersnatch, Pipenv, virtualenv), pandas, Pillow, Twisted, LocalStack, every Datadog Agent Integration, Home Assistant, Zulip, Kedro, OpenOA, FLORIS, ORBIT, WOMBAT, and many more.

> The following organizations use Black: Facebook, Dropbox, KeepTruckin, Mozilla, Quora, Duolingo, QuantumBlack, Tesla, Archer Aviation.
This is a common trope, but the reality is that the winners bought the farms from folks who couldn't compete. The ex-farmers did not go on to find better compensation, they just became poor. Their children perhaps found a larger salary in the information economy, but ask them how many acres they can pass on to their grandchildren.
It really isn't that bad. You can frontload your logic outside inside the script section (or use @const's). The DSL is just a couple of {#if} and {#each}'s.

Is the 2 way data binding implicit? As I understood, you need the "bind:" keyword for 2 way data binding.
> Yes, there were always "lowbrow" language and culture

Isn't the of concept of low brow a strictly oppressive one? It only serves to further strip power from those outside the dominant group.

When the lowbrow group become dominant then their style and norms become the standard of highbrow.

Perhaps your experience with QML would be more pleasant if you would write backend in Rust or Julia (my current choice). In Julia I find that it is particularly easy to iterate as it avoids any compilation step although that is not as smooth as using VS Code with hot reload on the side. There is also Felgo for reloading which I guess also preserves the state, but I have not tried it yet.

One quite an advantage for QML is how easy it is to align elements to get started. Personally, I find it quite frustrating to get HTML to do what I want whereas in QML having only used for two months I already see how to model `Kanban` UI with QML.

Tabs for indentation, spaces for alignment. This is my take.

I only can use it on personal projects, as most places I worked in use spaces.

The ghost of NetBurst appears.[1]

Agreed. The headline leads people towards a deceptive conclusion. I've worked with both JSON and Protocol Buffers and there is no way that merely changing from JSON to PB would reduce latency by 60%; not on an average request. Clearly other refactorings were undertaken to achieve that speedup. I've done some raw performance comparison tests between JSON and PB and the speedup with PB was insignificant for most of the payloads I tried.

Does any developer here on HN really believe that JSON parsing (plus schema validation) is what adds the most latency to a request? It just doesn't add up that just switching to PB would deliver that speedup.

It reminds me of another headline I read a few years ago about a company thanking TypeScript for reducing bugs by 25% (I can't remember what the exact number was) after a rewrite... Common. You rewrote the whole thing from scratch. What actually cut the bugs by 25% was the rewrite itself. People don't usually write it more buggy the second time...

It's a pattern with these big tech consultants. They keep pushing specific tech solutions as silver bullets then they deliver flawed analyses of the results to propagate the myth that they solved the problem in that particular way... When in fact, the problem was solved by pure coincidence due to completely different factors.
Alas the book (and the movie) were trash, rather like Shimomura. Anyone who knew Kevin, knew that Takedown was egotistical BS.

Good to know, cheers.

Definitely not the story I'm dimly recalling though as I would have read it before 1982 as part of my (until then) ever expanding collection of tattered science fiction novels and anthologies.

( First book of the Hyperion series being published in 1989 )
Same in Porto Alegre. If I heard "Jo-kem-po" I'd think someone from a younger generation that learned those works from some TV series.
Not that having a ton of E-cores isn't cool but is there the memory bandwidth to keep all of the P- and E-cores fed and if there isn't, then what's the point? There are probably two memory channels like all of Intel's past consumer products and, IIRC, DDR5 crams two channels of half width into each physical channel but I haven't seen an explanation of whether that's really the equivalent of 4 DDR4 memory channels.
Fair point - I do a bit of geophysics and look at ground and cosmic radiation so a point appreciated.

That said .. there's always some killjoy dragging reality and science into science fiction . . . :-)
> And on the outside and without hindsight, to both the US and soviets, it looked very much that Japan could/would fight to the death

To the US, yes, but not to the Soviets, whom Japan had begun to ask to broker a surrender a few weeks prior. https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1945Berlin...

Even Japan's surrender didn't stop the Soviet invasion, with the Soviets taking the Kuril islands and Sakhalin after the Japanese had surrendered. A planned invasion of Hokkaido on August 24 had to be scrapped after the Japanese surrender only because of the terms of the Potsdam Declaration.
To be fair, the people quoted in the book don't seem to be having that much fun. But yes, most of modern tech seems to be exploiting the same mechanism, generating addiction.

you absolutely understand. such a key point. GTP discovers deep structural truth, and characterized this with a multidimentional heat map, about the system that produced the data its trained on. that comes from Stephen wolfram. if you trained it on clouds, it would have an autistic knowledge of clouds. what GTP is doing is exactly the same thing as human intuition. its not statistically driven, this is proven mathematically, thats why we havent seen it before. but its still just patterns and concepts, no intellect or logic.

the key observations: imagine a human with intuition so good and so powerful that you could compose an essay without thinking, as a reflex. people dont understand how insanely powerful this AI would be if it had an intellect to match its intuition. its coming. people dont understand that intuition is a necessary part of an intellect, that were already half way to true AI. these LLMs are a bundle of kindling.

> It's quite revealing when you say that "fairness" (scare quotes) is not important.

They put it in scare quotes because there is a big difference between "fairness" and fairness. You're not asking for actual fairness.

If there were two children, each who had a cookie, and one child steals the other child's cookie - nobody would say that a fair way to distribute the next cookie is to split it evenly between both children. But that's the kind of "fairness" you're asking for. It's fair in the most basic and childish sense. Once you stop ignoring what came before it's no longer fair.
yes, that too. I think another mistake people make is assuming they're all sort of the same size. But the offshore ones are immense.
Wiktionary says the pronunciation of modern Portuguese pão is [pɐ̃ʊ̯̃] in IPA. Modern Japanese has [p] but not [ɐ̃]. The vowel closest to [ɐ] is [a], and to get the nasalization of [ɐ̃], the following consonant needs to be [ɴ], giving "pan" [pãɴ]. As a bonus, [ʊ̯̃] is a back nasal vowel and [ɴ] is a back nasal consonant. So modern Japanese "pan" is a good match for modern Portuguese pão.

To support your theory, you'd need to look at a language where borrowings with nasal vowels and syllable-final nasal consonants can reliably be distingished from each other, i.e. not Japanese.

My guess is that without the PoC you will too often run into somebody who insists that in practice it's fine. Not always, but maybe it's one time in five. And now you've been told it's "fine" and so you should meekly go away right?

As I understand it that TOCTOU race in Rust's std::fs::remove_dir_all had been reported once before and just not accepted as a security bug. The C++ libraries have the excuse that WG21 decided this is all UB anyway and so they weren't required to fix the equivalent bug in their standard library, but in Rust the answer is that sometimes when you raise a real concern somebody says it's fine, erroneously.

It's not like OpenSSH did this by accident. They did this on purpose and they apparently thought it was reasonable when they did it, so if it's supposedly obvious that it's a problem, why is it in the design?

I actually think that the word “actual” is interesting since many people seem to pepper their statements with it. I originally thought it was mainly a discourse marker (“Actually [interjection], the moon is not made of cheese”), but it is often used unprompted (not as a response to anything else): “I actually like the flavor of cheese”—why not just “I like the flavor of cheese”?

Some people who monologue (like in a video) about a subject often use it. “Cleopatra was actually not black.” This makes some sense since you use it to emphasize something that you assume might be surprising, instead of using a more flat statement. But it gets weird when the speaker supposedly thinks that every statement that they make is surprising or even astounding to the hypothetical listener. No: many statements are expected, and some statements you had no prejudice about one way or the other, so the listener has nothing to be surprised about.

It feels like the the monologuer assumes that they are just blowing the minds of the listener on a continual basis.

It’s also often used for excessive emphasis: “I actually love ice cream”. Like “ice cream is literally my favorite flavor”. Excessive emphasis IMO should be sparingly used or else it loses its effect. It’s like “literally”: it can have a humorous effect when used to mean “figuratively”, but if you regularly use it like that it becomes lame. (But I have lost that battle: literally now literally means both “in the literal sense” and “in the figurative sense”.) I don’t appreciate the affect of someone who emphasizes every third sentence while speaking, and to me these emphasis words have the same effect when I read them.

Japanese has nasal vowels and indeed the "a" in Japanese "pan" is nasalized.
> The subject [of the word ‘like’] is not uninteresting, but it is trivial. Like is a hesitation phenomenon (to give it status, the term discourse marker has been used about it), and the speaker, to gain time, makes pauses and fills them with like.

This is so oversimplified as to border on being incorrect. Even Wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Like] is able to list several more uses in colloquial speech, including:

• As a quotative marker, to introduce direct speech: ”I was, like, ‘who was that?’ ”

• As a quotative it can also introduce ideophones: “The firework went, like, boom”

• As a hedge it moderates exaggeration: “I had to wait, like, hours for the bus to arrive”

• It can also indicate a counterexpectation, emphasising a contrast to what the listener might think: “There was, like, no free memory left”

None of these can be dismissed as merely ‘gaining time’. I can’t deny it has that role too, but that’s far from the only meaning of like, and to say otherwise just obscures the way it’s really used.
