"all intelligences are basically goal seeking machines no?"

No, not really. They can just exist along you, think Da vinci or Einstein. They don't really tried to change their worlds, even having that capability.

So humans could be just living along "a giant", or several of them, at any historical moment, even right now.

And not really be aware of them at all. Artificial or not.
So within a massive investigation that was completely above board 99% of the time and led to arrests and prison time for dozens of officials that were involved in corruption on a mass scale, one wiretap application was improper and led to a one year suspension for the FBI agent who oversaw it? And this is supposed to be evidence that the Democratic Party as a whole are purposely lying to investigate their opponents?

You listening to yourself rn?
> It feels like even Western governments are becoming more and more protective of their aristocrat-class

I'm confused about how this is the takeaway from a story about how the government was spying on a US Senator, who presumably is a member of the aristocrat-class?

IMO this is a story about how politicians, in the name of "security", empower a bureaucracy that becomes more powerful than the politicians themselves. The same thing happens at the local level with city governments and police departments/police unions. The politicians lose control of the security apparatus.
Which was created by the us pivoting away from food aid towards bio fuels. But the arab spring is the end result, the outcome. Mismanaged resources are at the core, the root cause. Im not interested in the flash symptoms of a crisis.
The interesting part is the little rock that starts the avalanche and how we can prevent such cascades in the future..
Not sure if you’re trolling ?
Before you get too upset I think you should practice what you preach. I can only judge from what you write. I don't know you. And you have made assumptions about what I think or say, which I then politely, and at some length, have tried to clarify and explain to you. When you continue to argue in a manner that, at least to me, signals you are not interested in actually understanding what I'm saying: that's on you. You are obviously offended, and I would probably care, if it wasn't for your whiny, self-righteous attitude.
They all have bug bounty programs. If you avoid causing actual damage or downloading actual customer data, and disclose what you find, it’s already legal.
I agree that distribution is the key. I am not really comfortable with creation or viewing of such content being illegal. It feels like thoughtcrimes. Distribution is where you are really being immoral. And if you create something in a form which makes it possible to distribute, and then someone just happens to get access and distributes it, is it not your fault too? Here it becomes unclear.
LLVM is 20 years old.
I tried a quick search between mdfind, bfs, and find to locate all README.md files in my home directory. bfs and find both found 2930 files and took 8.5s and 47.5s respectively. mdfind took 0.1s but found only 2400 files.
The comment I was replying to was rebutting the notion that “the Democrats” launched FBI investigations into their political opponents. That’s what I was referring to. Durham didn’t suggest anything of the sort.

And if there were such clear political bias, how do we explain the repeated decisions by the Director to make public spectacles and admonishments of Clinton regarding the investigation into her handling of email?
I find a source useful for claims like these, so here you go: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM199308053290619
Like many others, I have looked at the subproblem of whole-life scheduling and concluded that it can't be done well. On the one hand, a scheduling system has to implement a simple model or the overhead of working with it makes its net value negative. On the other hand, you have to deal with the fractal complexity of real life situations and priorities all the way down, and no simple model can represent it all accurately.
The internet wrecked pornography. It's become a game of extremes. There are studies that indicate that kids today think the violence depicted in what we used to call "hardcore" is what's normal and expected. Both boys and girls think this and young women are suffering through humiliation and abuse instead of thinking that sex should be a mutually pleasurable act. AI is just going to make it worse and more extreme but it's already wrecked.
It’s human nature to make inferences about the world - to observe effect and infer cause. No matter whether the cause you land upon is Jupiter sending a storm to kill the crops, or global weather patterns, you’re still using data to make guesses about how the world works. “Science” (capital s) isn’t limited to discovering oil or landing men on the Moon, it’s also about feeding your family, or guessing what the best birthday present for your kid is. It’s an inextricable part of us.
Yea but the spreading around is the important part. Should just creating the content be illegal? Right now it kinda is but I don't find that to be quite consistent.
And they suffer for it by way of worse job chances, lower salary and in general worse career prospects.
Sustainable policies likely affect the poorest the least. Climate change will affect them the most.

The poorest already make a lot of sustainable choices: living in apartments in cities, taking public transportation, consuming less.

It’s possible that if carbon was heavily taxed, and some of the proceeds returned to everybody, that the poorest would actually be better off. Never mind the whole stopping the climate catastrophe threat.
Most modern software systems are distributed systems, but designing a distributed system isn’t easy. Here are six best practices to get you started.
What's the solution to this? Which app would you recommend to deal with projects that become serious?
No, some applications work better in light mode, some in dark mode.
I'm no expert, but have been around start ups to large companies for a long time in many roles. Business/capitalism is a full contact sport. Getting someone to give you money, whether it's a $1 or $1M dollars is fucking hard. With billions of people in the world, you think it would be easier to find 10k of them to give you $10 - nope. When selling something, the vast vast majority say no.

I remember at a prior company we had our biggest customer drop us. Similar situation, we worked with them for months to get usage up, but they ignored/blocked our efforts. Then one day, no renewal. It hurt, it was scary, but the way business works. It also led to a pivot and later acquisition.
Oh wow I hadn't heard of this! Their naming debacles are an endless source of entertainment lol

When I think of a security product, I really want to think about the vendor letting people _in_ instead of keeping bad actors _out_ (entra from entrar = to go in, to come in) /s.

In Spanish, it's actually the imperative, so it makes you think of ordering someone to go in lol!
I think I had one lay eggs in my house. A few weeks ago, on a day when I hardly opened a door for more than a few seconds I suddenly found at least 100 horseflies in my house. I was sucking them up with a hand vac and releasing them outside, and every few hours I’d go suck up about 30 more — and every single day after that I found at least 30 or so more for at least a week. I’m still seeing 1-2 per day, but at least that’s manageable. Hopefully these last stragglers are the last that I’ll have. It’s nuts!
It's interesting what hypotheticals, straw men really, that we project in our minds as we read. When he said "doing nothing" I pictured a literally homeless man drifting through life. Such people can certainly "afford" to do nothing. You presumably pictured something different. In any case neither of us is likely imagining what OP has actually lived.
Where can I hire professionals specifically for my YT channel?
Does anyone know any platforms where I can look for professionals to hire for my YT channel?

The original Apple TV ran a modified OS X 10.4. Have one in my basement. :)
The closer you are to agile the more basic your ticketing system needs and vice versa.

You could probably do without one at all even.
This is cool but I'm struggling to think of a case where I'd want to run backend JavaScript in a memory constrained environment, doubly so where performance isn't a concern.
Lots of dovnvotes. I am curious to know the reasoning behind these. :)
It is entirely about fairness. We live in a society. Tax is necessary to maintain that society. Everyone needs to pitch in. If you want "rights", that comes with "responsibilities" - they invariably pair.
The solution starts with this:

If they're not skeptical, *by definition* they're not journalists.

We need to stop giving credit where is *not* due. As it is, we're doing a version of "everyone gets a trophy". That's fine for kids. But if they want to be called a journalist they need to earn it (i.e., meet the criteria).

Furthermore, solo bloggers aside, this also falls on the editors and publishers. If some hack - notice I didn't say journalist - writes something that fails to meet the criteria then that should not be published. Full stop. But that's not what's happening. Instead we get less and less quality as the hacks drink their own Kool Aid.

The current situation is Orwellian. The hacks call themselves journalists. The journalists call the hacks journalists. The rest of us call the hacks journalists. There is zero incentive for the hacks (and associated editors and publishers) to fix their QA problem. Zer. Oh.

If your pet barks, do you call it a cat? Well, the same attention to detail should apply to journalists and journalism.

That is the start to fixing the problem. Stop letting bullshit get passed off as anything but what it is.
From my reading, it's standardized because it has a version number embedded, so it won't get confused with other uuids.

Probably a good idea to have somewhere to silo bespoke implementations. Just gotta hope they end up being unique.
> It's us. We're the ones consuming the bulk of these resources

Agree.

> What if some process ends up accelerating things faster than expected?

I think we're already there (for example, in quite few studies 2030 is the new 2050 for 1.5C target). Sea temperatures (esp. in the nothern sea) and ice cover also seems to change faster than predicted (we could have ice free summers in the arctic before 2030, and thawing of greenland is also faster than expected).
This isn't too dissimilar from what Tesla's doing with their store (Tesla-quila, anyone?)
I think they’re actually on fruit or may be vegetables in your case from the start.
This is entirely wrong.

MMs aren't doing deep analysis like a hedge fund, but they do have insight into the buy/sell interest across the market.

And how do you think one makes a market if they don't have an idea what something is worth? Prices aren't necessarily values, MMs value instruments and then trade accordingly at prices quoted. They don't search for misvalued items like a l/s fund, but they always have a theoretical value and make a market around that internal number when asked.
> find myself reaching for mpsc channels and using tokio tasks like clunkier goroutines in rust often

My experience so far with mpsc/tokio tasks is that Fearless Concurrency TM is pretty solid. There is some clunkiness (mostly inconsistency around async styles), but I've been bit by bad channel usage in golang enough times that rust felt refreshing.
No, upon start Everything loads its database file into RAM and queries the USN journal for all file system changes since the last time it was running. By applying those changes to its current database it automatically gets a consistent representation of the current state of the file system. This usually is much quicker than a full rebuild.

Only when the USN journal doesn't go back enough in time will Everything rebuild its database by parsing the MFT (which is also much quicker than traversing the file system).
Can't agree more, if decision makers would more often ask themselves 'should we do it' instead of 'how we can do it'. But engineers gotta engineer and managers gotta manage or they are obsolete.

But then we would have fraction of projects and work and just evolved systems created decade or two ago, with much lower IT costs. A total nightmare I say.
Hi, I am Aaryan, one of the maintainers at Plane. We currently have the theming settings available under the profile section, where you can set themes like light, dark, custom themes, and more. Thank you for your suggestion; we will certainly work on implementing the system preference setting and find a better placement for the theme switcher.
The root causes of war in Syria are the Alawites. Headed by Assad, and his father before him.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bashar_al-Assad
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hafez_al-Assad

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

Daddy Assad got swept into power as part of a military coup by the Ba'ath Party shortly after the same thing happened in Iraq with another familiar character, Saddam Hussein.

He then proceeded to rule with the iron fist of a socialist military dictator (with the backing and advice of the Soviets). Up until the year 2000 people in Syria only had access to state sponsored television/radio/news until their information sphere got embiggened first with satellite dishes and later with smartphones which caused the minority tribe in charge to lose control of their internal propaganda narratives.

Note on the map all the lines are straight as Syria was never an actual viable country by design.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sykes–Picot_Agreement

It is a violent tribal society. This goes much deeper than the basics of Sunni/Shia splits, if you are the wrong tribe or clan or from the wrong village or wrong family you deserve a gruesome death, 'etc. This pattern repeats across most of the Middle East region which traditionally needed strong rulers/empires to forcefully hold it together.

I assure you the guys from the various rebel factions, ISIS, 'etc, who beheaded people and cut out their hearts on YouTube were not complaining about over-grazing or human rights.

It didn't start with climate change, it started back here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_of_the_Ottoman_Empir...
The entire story isn't about laptops. It's about the workstations that may be used to work on code locally (or also build it locally). These machines already aren't allowed outside of premises.
> New designs should be described in terms of the design space, so you can immediately convey their relative position compared to other point solutions. Expect a lot of statements of the form: “all solutions must do X”; “solution Y is just X with one change"

Except that as a developer when I hear "solution Y is just X with one change", I know that this is BS and that there won't be just that change which will be annoying because I'll have to refactor later..
I've noticed the "oops the price changed" a lot recently, but prior it was rock solid for years for me (mostly European airlines/flights)
Nulls Nullified (2005)
Detach in a good way. Look at a situation from other PoVs. Is the frustration even warranted. A silly example, someone cuts you off in traffic. Some people go ballistic, but to what end? Shrug and move on. Think of it as don't let yourself bike-shed personal events. Focus on what matters.
Yeah, that's my suspicion as well, as I rarely just see one lone random fruit fly in the flat.
I don't know about that, but is that a bad thing?

We were already the enemy we despised during the Cold War. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCarthyism

This is an almost insulting question. What are you expecting, some magic trick? Go spend years studying, working hard, and focusing on improving yourself.
To grasp the extent of inequality, look at the relatively well-off
>For the five reviewed papers where Dr. Tessier-Lavigne was a principal author (sometimes referred to as the “primary papers”), the Scientific Panel has concluded that Dr. Tessier-Lavigne did not have actual knowledge of the manipulation of research data that occurred in his lab and was not reckless in failing to identify such manipulation prior to publication.

I've read some of the papers that contain duplicated data; such duplications can be seen as "honest errors" similar to typos (e.g. maybe the file names were too similar?). It would be negligent of MTL to overlook these, even if it would not be fraud.
Yes, and the salaries are really poor. I make more money writing javascript than I ever did with embedded C.
Awesome <3. Takes me back to running compiz on slackware in the early 2000s. Era of the blinged out desktop.
Marketing is not about truth, period. I prefer the older term for the occupation: advertising and propaganda.
Vector Database Stability
Does anyone have stress testing results on different vector databases? And is there any benchmarks of performance/stability of popular vector databases?
This will likely be a pattern across the planet as unsustainable practices are still the norm and will likely be so for many more decades.

The timescales of climate change, environmental degradation and biodiversity loss are too slow to be perceived as "real" risks. But they create underlying stresses that may push human systems beyond thresholds and tipping points at "random" times.

In other words, indirect impacts may be much more visibly damaging, although the causal links not easy to internalize.

For the majority of people the detrimental outcomes of their own behavior might as well be attributed to supernatural forces, "others" or any other deflection of responsibility.
Have you bothered to check the release year before replying?
> that was completely above board 99%

How do you know that in order to make the claim?
I'll take your track and reformulate my original:

if things aren't going your way, and you are ruminating and poisoning your blood fruitfullessly remembering the bad events, replace those thoughts with the acceptance that the events are there - stop agonizing uselessly, take the novelties as just a matter of fact. Get out of the thought, get out of the emotion - they can be replaced by a label, "Past. There. What is done is done. Next".

Then, if you can do something about it (to fix the situation), enter the constructive mood of the entrepreneur exploiting the useful fact of being alive to engineer reality. Otherwise, if you cannot do anything about it, bear the consequences but do not let the damage increase through an inadvisable behaviour of possibly letting events impact your mental, emotional states - that would be wasted energy, wasted health, wasted time.
From anothet perspective, i was taught that metals in a non-oxidizing environment, if touching, will reform crystal bonds. So a crack deep inside a metal, if given time, can heal across a previous break. But this wound heeling will not realign complex structure, so the effect is more noticeable in non-alloy, such as a lead spline.
Indeed, it is everywhere.
It wasn't the Soviet Union that nationalized the steppe, it was the Syrian government. At no point in time was Syria part of the SU.

The article only mentioned the Syrians got the idea from the Soviets.
Very true. MMs have to always be adjusting their marks due to new trades made, market moves, interest from other players, etc. Like you said, if an MM's bid keeps getting hit and they don't lower they get dumped on until they do adjust.
So many memories playing around with a Spectra Video MSX as a kid. Mostly playing games, occasionally trying to draw stuf or making sounds using Basic. Some programs could only be started from msx dos.

Later, when most households in the Netherlands where start getting PCs (80286/386/486 era), I felt right at home using msdos.

Nowadays I really appreciate vaporwave aesthetics and I'm sure it's because of being absorbed in the world of msx computers, including reading magazines and such, as a kid.
It doesn't work in all cases but potatoes and tomatoes are closely related (potato fruits exist and are very poisonous, they look like cherry tomatoes).

Orchards typically graft branches of the desired apple variety onto rootstock of an apple tree that has the size characteristics they want - typically, smaller trees as they can fit more per hectare and i's easier to pick if the branches don't grow as tall.
These projects are really fun. On the other hand, you might want to learn in a way that lets you build hardware (esp for FPGA's). For that, I suggest a few types of books with examples:

- Computer architecture or CPU design book covering modern designs with their tradeoffs

https://www.amazon.com/Computer-Architecture-Quantitative-Ap...

- Introduction to Verilog or VHDL (languages for hardware) maybe on FPGA's or well-known boards

https://www.amazon.com/Programming-FPGAs-Getting-Started-Ver...

- High Speed Digital Design (many recommended it)

https://www.amazon.com/High-Speed-Digital-Design-Handbook/dp...

- Cookbook with many examples for FPGA's

I don't have one. Most with these titles are expensive. One that looked promising had bad reviews. I'll leave it to HN to fill in the blanks.

- High-level synthesis

Most exciting one I remember when I stopped researching this stuff was Synflow. I don't know if they're still around.

https://www.synflow.com/

Before that, I had saved Baranov's work which showed how to turn Abstract, State Machines into actual hardware. It was like a how-to on high-level synthesis that he used commercially at Synthezza. I still share them periodically in case someone wants to build an OSS version. I also saw ASM's used in verifying compilers and hardware in separate work. There's a good chance someone can turn many things into a unified, field theory of sorts using ASM's.

Maybe I'm dating myself, but it took reading these comments for me to figure out that "smol" is pronounced "small" and not "es em oh el". Only after that did I think to Google it and find the dictionary.com slang entry [0].

If some significant portion of the user base is as slang-ignorant as I am (for example, most who speak English as a second language!), it'd be good to support both --small and --smol for mnemonic reasons. Remembering a series of letters that have no meaning to you is much harder than remembering a word that obviously relates to what you're trying to accomplish, and if I had landed on the bun docs first I would have continued pronouncing it "es em oh el".

As a MSX user, my recollection is that this was very distant because required a lot of hardware add-ons (at least for the popular Philips VG-8020).

Anyone using MSX-DOS back in the day?

What CP/M programs were you running?

Really curious to know!
