And it's not just a trademark matter. I haven't looked in detail at how the Twitter acquisition was structured, but somewhere there's a spreadsheet with the words "goodwill" and next to those words there's a huge number reflecting what Musk overpaid for Twitter.

To simply stop using the Twitter brand, logo, and verb-ology would be a huge slap to that number, not that it really means anything financially.

Complaining about inefficiency and suggesting transforming most of the US's very efficient private freight rail system into nationalized passenger rail in the same comment is certainly an interesting position.

The nationalized systems seen in the EU seem to be associated in dramatically higher cost for freight transportation, not lower[1]. The reason the rail companies stopped offering passenger rail services in the US was that nearly every one of them was absolutely hemorrhaging money by the end and the only reason they'd kept them that long is because the government made them do it. Transporting people by train in most of the US is laughably inefficient and inconvenient next to the car due to the low population densities across most of the country. There's a reason nearly the entire country switched to using cars for transportation almost the instant that it became possible for them to do so.

Yes, google search is nowadays, like everything else, run by AI. What nobody tell is that the AI is trained to maximize Google's revenue. That's why they figured out it is better to put these ad sites on top.
Assuming this is true (it's not), how is any of this the problem of the User Agent?
I started using favorites as bookmarks, too. Wish there was an actual option for that though :(
Please stop obfuscating the issue. You're doing morally repugnant work, and no amount of tone policing will change that. Please take the advice already given to you in multitudes: Don't
What are the odds.
Another thing we lost, that we're just rediscovering with the kneecapping of Reddit and Twitter, is that Usenet was decentralized by design. Feed goes down or has problems? Get it from somewhere else.

It was very much not perfect, though. Spam, hoaxes, and general crap abounded, and moderation was all-or-nothing and iffy at best. Hopefully, the ActivityPub world can avoid some of Usenet's mistakes and get us out of the single-point-of-failure model.
Corporations insure for all sorts of things and a company as big as Adidas must certainly have operational risk insurance [0] for things like this.

I remember many years ago, the startup I worked for was required to have insurance as part of our funding round and it covered stuff like officers freaking out in public and all sorts of odd things I didn’t think was insurable.

Corporate insurance is pretty interesting in this regard.

And no matter who is insuring, in the US it’s probably reinsured by Marsh McClellan [1], a huge reinsurance firm.

Anyone know if there are any robo-taxis in operation in Europe?

I wonder if there are unique problems with European cities - e.g. Paris has a population density roughly fifteen times as great as Beijing() and Phoenix. European cities also tend* to have narrower streets than N. American cities.

(* Although this is complicated, and perhaps not a fair comparison. Paris draws its city limits very close - e.g. only about 2 million people of the 12 million people in the Paris metropolitan area actually live in Paris, so we should expect the population density to naturally be greater that a city which includes its suburbs).
I'm still interested in any viable theory as to how random chemical processes are able to garner enough information in their own structure to replicate themselves.

That is, Von Neumann showed us that to have a self-replicating automaton we need both the factory and the information for the factory (saved within it). We know that's what a cell is. But how do random chemical processes get there?

Note: time works against chemical processes since the organic chemical compounds decay, keep that in mind when creating a hypothesis.

Note 2: remember that in this case, both the factory & the information gets randomly mutated until you have a factory and information that's complex enough to error correct.
Embrace, the community, take the air out of the room for competing products.

Extend, make a product only THEY can, that is a ++ product.

Extinguish, turn that community's work into a cloud product that they can not compete against, and that product will become dominant. No longer "Open Source".

Honestly judging by most developers they are doing a good job. They don't need to kill the entire market, but merely cripple it badly.

For me, it is pretty obvious what's going on.
If anyone has a script to hide the new yorker, NYTimes, wapo, buzzfeed, businessinsider, telegraph, etc etc all the tabloids, i'd also love to see it!
"Life === multi-cellular organisms" is also a rather antiquated take on the matter. This headline is misleading. In fact we don't even have a solid definition of "life", which leads to multivarious hypotheses on how the various stages arose.

The subject of the article itself is interesting, I just wish science writers were more precise in their language to reflect the precision and specificity of the scientific hypotheses being explored.
I'd love to hear what people are using for sending invoices (with follow up emails if it's not paid) and collecting payment (ACH/CC). I've used Wave Accounting and Stripe for my invoices but I hate paying the Stripe invoice+tax fee but it's still less than the Amex fee on Wave so I put up with it. Maybe these are the best tools available to me at this price point and for my usage (4-6 invoices a year, $2-10K/ea) but I'm open to alternatives.
I have 3 of those HP 13 G1s between my son an myself, and they are pretty nice little laptops. High res display, great battery life, i7 CPU and 16GB RAM in the higher spec version. My son re-installed his with Linux and the storage is too slow for that, but mine was my primary home laptop for ~7 years.
Can this also be used with a data lake or the data bricks I used to build a data mart?
Ask HN: How Should I Learn to Programming with Dyslexia/ADHD
I know some programming things already, but I often mistype features or have to reference online documentation to internalize things. Are there anything to help me learn and internalize faster to become a better program?
> Training new models?

There is value in applying old techniques to new problems. Training a model to, I don't know, recognize snake species might help save snake bite victims lives.

(This is an example I came up with in 5 seconds, please don't take it seriously)

But there's also the whole "sell the shovel" aspect; it can be hard to train models. It can be hard to interpret the quality of the results. How do I know version 2 of the model is better than version 1? How do I even get labeled photos of snakes and not-snakes?

I suspect solving some of those problems are where some of the real gold is buried.
We dont need the space in the parts where the railroads are tbh
Very much agreed on us not all needing the same solution. I’d argue Ansible makes more sense for apps written in scripting languages (particularly Python, obviously), while Kubernetes makes more sense for deploying statically-typed/compiled images where devs shouldn’t really need to deal with the whole Python ecosystem in addition to their compilers, linkers, etc. But of course there’s plenty of room for crossover!

To your point about this being like ORMs, though: I would argue building apps to deploy with Kubernetes or Ansible is less like using an ORM, and more like building them to compile for any OS rather than depending on Windows/Linux/macOS libraries. DB engines generally have much more similar costs than server hosting companies do (you could pay 2x as much to host an app on one vs the other depending on what you need), so it makes less sense to switch. (Also, back in the days when ORMs were created, Oracle was much more dominant than today so DB cost differentials were a bigger issue, but that’s not really today’s market. These days many engines just offer wire compatibility with Postgres/MySQL libraries anyway, so that aspect of ORMs is really not the selling point anymore, it’s the mapping of DB type systems to language type systems.)

Agreed, naming things is hard. That and off by one errors are the three hardest things in software development, IMO.
Same experience: a few months ago I wrote both the question and the answer (I used to do that a lot for tricky things I figured out after a lot of research).

My question got closed, with bullshit reasons. I kept asking to reopen over a few months, just to see what would happen (because clearly it was a good question and a good answer). After 3 months it got voted to be reopen. Since then I got badges for "popular question" and many upvotes there.

Pretty clearly I was closed by people who did not understand the question and probably had not even realized that I had answered it myself.
That seems to turn usenet into a forum
It is not a video game because there's no video. But the idea is cool and a good representation of the state of art in commuting circuits at that time.
Is this article from Wikipedia shared instead of news about the recent events because of some policy of HN?
My least favorite thing is how many highly upvoted answers are telling the OP to "do something else" instead of actually answering the question. Sometimes requirements come from above and we don't have a choice!
I think the current interface it is perfect for to read, the comments trees are expanded so we just scroll, without distracting colors, nor stilted formatting, nor graphical noise, that allows to read from top to bottom without_visual_interferences; basically the content is the format so the eyes decide were to go. Also is very fast to load by the browsers (minimal css, anecdotal js, no frameworks).

As others, I am happy with the current layout. I only modified news.ycombinator.com##.spacer:style(height: 10px !important;) for a bit more separation between the news' titles list (probably due something in my browser).
That sounds to me a lot like early Reddit. Or 4chan, for that matter.

But to be fair I like my communities small, obscure, slightly unfriendly and without PR. Every good community I've liked had a phase of being nice to newcomers who were trying to fit and being hostile to those who weren't, so maybe there's something to it.
Great story. I have heard similar, many times over, but it's unusual to have someone that can write about it.

Of course, for every person that has climbed out of the charnel pit, there's a thousand more that remain.

- The self-censoring of the LLM is making it unable to think.
I'd go in the opposite direction.

For me the next natural evolution is PaaS. Especially for B2B software. More centralization & standardization of the experience customer-to-customer. Everyone talks to the same URL, web app and database(s). No more special unicorn installs ever again. This is where we are trying to push right now.

I think the real key with a lot of software business is getting more involved in your customer's business. Actually understanding how they are doing what they do and where your software might fall short. You may find an entirely different approach here: Instead of making the software meet the customer, negotiate with the customer such that they adjust their process to align better with the software.

If you can have realistic, human conversations with your customers and partners, you might not need an AI to invent unlimited bespoke experiences. You may find the determinism of "one way of the world" is actually an inherent feature that some customers are explicitly looking for. Not everyone has unlimited creativity and desire to consume esoterica. Many just want to be told what to do and hopefully those orders don't suck.

Reverse engineering is not onerously difficult if you have the right tools, some experience, and a decent grasp of assembly language. It's only really annoying if you can't use a debugger.

So is this how Elon Musk performs when there is no board of directors or shareholders to rein him in? Because this entire rebranding effort looks like something he woke up and declared on a whim. Zero coordination or planning.
The problem with remote attestation is that there's no bound to exactly how bad it could become. If you can get enough of the internet on browsers that support remote attestation, to the point where it's an acceptable loss to simply reject anyone who does not have a browser that does support remote attestation, you can theoretically assert full control over the end user.

What will actually happen? Nobody knows for sure. The most likely outcome is that you will not be able to do banking, watch Twitch streams, etc. on anything other than Chrome, Firefox and Edge, on Windows and macOS. Linux will probably be relegated to the legacy web that does not enforce remote attestation. Alternate browsers like Librewolf, Brave and Mullvad Browser will just disappear as if they never existed. You can not browse Tor on clearnet websites anymore, as if you really could anyways. Etc, etc.

> If it's so bad, why can't we bring a monopoly lawsuit against them over chrome/chromium? This is pretty similar to what Microsoft did, isn't it?

Microsoft of today is doing things blatantly in the open, that Microsoft of 199x would never dream of doing. The difference now is that all of the major computer manufacturers are basically going the same way, just at different rates.

The legal system is not coming to rescue us.
Every single subsequent plan after we miss the deadline of the last one is going to require more and more disruption into our personal lives.

If you don’t like the loss of freedom now, you definitely will not like what the solutions to climate change are going to be if we don’t take the actions now.
How are you performing initial sync?
Facebook, reddit, discord. It doesn't matter, all of them are inferior to usenet in usability. Usenet fails in the easy to get started with, but once you figure out how to get on usenet (which I no longer know how to do!) it is a much better experience. Usenet has the concept of "I already read this", so you can have long discussions. All other forums when you get more than a few dozen posts it is hard to track what you have seen and so you don't go back to look for more discussion even if it would be insightful.

Facebook often doesn't even show you interesting discussions if the discussion is interesting to you but not for the average person.

Proudly using Latex for PDF generation!
Given a set of instructions, an instruction fine-tuned/aligned LLM is able (conditional on size and training quality) to reason through a set of steps to produce a desired output.

This is plainly wrong. The model's growing size makes it better at guessing the outcome of a reasoning task, but little to no actual reasoning is performed.

It's trivial to prove this as well, as LLMs will still fail miserably at (larger) math problems that even basic computer algebra systems will handle with ease.
> The raising of the retirement age is perhaps the biggest contributing factor in the run on jobs. With people living longer, and the shortfall in pension payouts, the older generation is staying in work longer.

I wonder what this looks like in ~20 years when the current "retirement-age-but-still-working" generation is gone or nearly there, combined with the current shrink in birth rates. What happens?
One thing not mentioned in the article is whether the semi-anonymous nature of the tubes allowed for safer same-sex flirtation. I must imagine that it did, especially given what I've heard of 1920s Berlin.
>mods there get angry when you don’t copy paste the third party site content instead of just link to it...

There's a good reason for that. Sites come and go and as a result links to solutions die and you wish someone had just answered the question instead of just linked to it.
I've always assumed it's something like the infinite monkey theorem?
In the end - an AI should have these competing subsystems in one system - just as our brains are one system.
What I find extremely interesting is how perception and thinking differs from person to person too - it was a "taboo" topic to call this neurodiversity - just as other genetic traits, but AI makes this relevant more than ever imo.
Sure, its complicated and much comes from nurture (Nurture vs nature.. as exposure/epigeneticd vs genetics) but there sure are markable differences - the ones starting to stand out are e.g. adhd / autistic people, but Im sure it wont stay just there over time!
All systems respond the same way eventually. Keep multiplying your load by ten and you'll see them.
I don’t think they mean TikTok. Huawei has been banned in the US for years for basically being permanently backdoored hardware for the Chinese government. The precedent, history, and motivations are clear. American companies trying to avoid regulation is scummy, but it’s basically the exact opposite of acting as an corporate extension of the government.
The latest incarnation of VM/370 is branded z/VM. Most of my hands-on mainframe work was with VM/CMS and I enjoyed using it.
The trick is finding these, especially with today's crippled search engines. But indeed, it tends to be subject-specific forums rather than general-interest.
Nope, it's working well for me too.
I'd imagine something like openBB / BB Terminal with consolidated API access for financial reporting, a platform for insider communities ("chat, forums, and an app!"), etc. Make it a club, and it'll sell itself.

Since investment has been demoed successfully with off the shelf models, I don't think we're waiting on big advancements to be able to build a product. The bar for something like this, short term, is 1) be cool and 2) lose less money than traditional investing, sometimes.

> Chromebooks are very shoddily built

They aren't all that bad. I have one Dell 730-8301 I bought in early 2014, and four Dell 3120 (built 2015), all still humming along no problem. They're running as servers now but for many years they saw conventional laptop duty.

The Acers of that era were pure trash, however.
Very uninformed guess: couldn't you just have a factory with information of a different factory, with information of a different factory, with...?

While the original factory is not self-replicating, if you reached a fix point you would get a self-replicating factory
Running Sway on Arch Linux, pretty happy with it but it did take a while to set everything up.

My biggest advice: Look into software that supports wayland natively. Xwayland still has plenty of issues, but apps built with Wayland in mind (or at least using frameworks that support it) work flawlessly.

Yes if you've been using your tools for years it might not be worth it (yet). But since I chose to build a completely new system the way I want it, it's been worth putting effort into researching tools that work better - for example terminal emulators, Kitty had some weird issues for me so i switched to Foot and it's great for what i need it to do. Electron apps were still hit or miss last i checked, so I try to find non-Electron alternatives (usually way better for resource usage too) or at least find apps that use up-to-date electron that works on wayland without having to figure out which of 5 flags or config files you need to fiddle with.

Also, at least Sway did not work well on Nvidia last i tried, period. You can get it to work but weird issues will always pop up - i don't use my gaming pc much anymore anway and on a mini-pc with amdgpu (integrated in cpu) it works flawlessly.
The problem with most projects of mainframe migration that I've seen is that most of them suffered the bad luck of being started around the 90s and 2000s, a really complicated age in Enterprise Software, the age of COM/DCOM/COM+ and EJB 2.0.

Any normal person would prefer to program in S/370 assembly than be forced to use EJB 2.0 Entity Beans.
