Worth noting, in the 90's general computing was still increasing at a very rapid pace, where you could replace a late 80's mainframe with an early 90's x86 or PPC server. You won't have the built in layers of redundancy, but that isn't always necessary for any given environment. The cases of many mainframes still in use today are on much faster/newer systems where that critical uptime is much more important.

I'm not really a fan of mainframes, only pointing out that the companies still on them are generally on them as a direct replacement to general purpose servers isn't purpose fit, and conversion is excessively costly, even compared to IBM mainframe contracts.

I badly want this but in LaTeX. Minted is alright but it suffers from the same pitfalls as other regex-based syntax highlighters, and while you can extend the Pygments' lexer with more keywords, it's a losing battle. Having good syntax highlighting in academic papers would be amazing, since many subfields have their own DSL-like notations.

Unfortunately, writing new LaTeX packages turns out to be quite difficult, especially if you want it to integrate cleanly with \usepackage and environments.

"even without taking into account the greed stuff,"

What "greed stuff"? It is incredibly hard to make money in LLMs/ML. The barriers to entry are colossal, and it is technically extremely difficult. Everyone keeps talking about all the "grifters" (a go to term that usually means the speaker's arguments can be dismissed) yet there are very, very few people making money in AI. The biggest money maker in AI is nvidia and some cloud providers.

You can't just fork BTC or create a Ethereum contract and spin off another shitcoin and make free money. You can't do a rug pull. You can try to create an incredibly difficult niche solution and yield some excitement, but that's like all of technology ever. Comparing it with crypto is dumb.

"people who are drawn to fun tech is likely to be drawn to both LLM and cryptocurrency stuffs"

Loads of people who like to know what's up became acquainted with both. Sure. Understanding tech makes sense. And a lot of us learned crypto, realized it had extraordinarily little real-world utility or benefit, and moved on.

From what I saw of American supermarkets and fast food places the various times I've visited (where the healthy stuff in supermarkets was priced like a good restaurant while the fast food was priced cheaper than the nominal cost of my school meals in the UK 15-20 years prior), and how much it differs from British and German equivalents (which do also have junk food, but you can easily eat healthy), I can say for certain that healthy eating doesn't have to be expensive, and when it is expensive that's something that needs to be fixed.
We use their website(s) (past and present through wayback) and then we spend a lot of time researching the individuals and the portfolio companies. Crunchbase/Pb can be wildly inaccurate and incomplete but is a nice starting point.

On our high-school network, the Guest account had NET SEND privileges. It was somehow less chaotic than one might expect.

We had a single shared T1 pipe for the whole district. Which was enough for email and stuff, but when web browsers got popular, it was suddenly woefully inadequate.

So I figured out I could NET SEND * SERVER ROOM POWER FAILURE - 9 MINUTES OF BATTERY REMAIN - SAVE YOUR WORK AND LOG OUT and after a flurry of traffic, the network fell to nearly-idle. I could max out the T1 with whatever I needed to do for a few minutes, then NET SEND * SERVER ROOM POWER RESTORED and nobody would be the wiser.

There is a lack of hard scientific evidence definitively proving this. However you may know in your bones that this is real, from lived experience or from people you know. Please keep that in mind when you dismiss other things that lack definitive scientific evidence. We as humans seem to pick and choose which currently unverified things to believe and which to dismiss.
You're not thinking fourth dimensionally. Yes that's how it is now. But the majority of users aren't using PATs so if you want people using your website you have to provide a reasonable experience for unverified users. Once 99% of users are using PATs, you'd be stupid not to require them. Severely degrading (through captchas) or outright blocking unverified clients would be trivial. Hell, I'd wager firewall software will even show you these blockages as "blocked attack" or "blocked dangerous client" or something like that.

I had the same question. Apparently people who had already been taking Metformin for diabetes were at lower risk of severe Covid [1], which explains why Metformin is being studied.

Looks like the same authors found that Metformin as a treatment after Covid diagnosis did not significantly reduce the the risk of hospitalization or death, even though it does reduce incidence of long Covid.

It clearly is, what else would one call that? Perhaps it's censorship you agree with and others agree with and maybe I agree with some of it, but it's never the less censorship. It's also censorship when the government redacts documents, but we have granted the government some carve-outs in order to protect national security and other things, which over time has become abused just like your proposition would be abused.

Also, language is not harmful. It may be abusive or offensive but it's not harmful. That's not to say people don't allow themselves to become affected by language --but one can be negatively affected by lots of language that isn't "hateful" but may be truthful or carry unwanted information.

He paid for the users and their network effect.
meh. "intelligence" and "artificial intelligence" are marketing terms. According to Nils Nilsson, McCarthy and Minsky picked the term so the Dartmouth Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence would not be constrained by associations with "Cybernetics." McCarthy thought it (Cybernetics) too constrained because a: it traditionally focused on analog solutions and b: he thought Norbert Wiener was a bit pushy.

I asked Minsky about this a couple decades ago and it was the only time he didn't tell me I was asking a stupid question. Apparently, after the conference, the name stuck because they found it easier to get research grants with the more "neutral" sounding name.

I wonder how many people would trust "AI" if it was called "distributed indexing" or "stochastic generation."
AI Prompt Management and APIs
We just released an open beta of our Prompt Management platform. We found other platforms lacking in their features to really build products with generative AI because they typically run on desktop, don't support projects and change tracking, and don't allow you to programmatically get/execute your prompts. Today we support Open AI but we'll be adding additional providers soon. Let us know which ones you want to see first!

Sign up is free, you'll just need an Open AI API key to get started. Take a look!

From my job searching experience in the last two months, that can not be possibly true, there are some remote positions but they're definitely not 60%, I would say it's about 15% at the best for software and engineering roles.

just do a 'software developer' search on linkedin, it has 156000 jobs, then filter it via 'remote' it drops down to 24400, that's 15%.
I don't think HDCP was ever meant to actually stop this sort of thing. Just to make it difficult and criminal.
Regardless of whether you think Elon Musk is talented or not, I can't really agree that people hating on one of the richest and most influential people in the world constitutes one of "the biggest shit shows in the history of the internet".

We're talking about the same internet in which Facebook's algorithms contributed to violence against the Rohingya. What people think about Elon Musk is simply of no significance by comparison.
> Far-right (...) to refer to any dissident who questions government leadership, the security apparatus, or the war machine.

That's factually incorrect. There's anti-authoritarian tendencies both on the right and the left, although right-wing anti-authoritarianism (also called libertarianism) is usually very inconsistent and leads to a paradox of "freedom of oppression/exploitation". Far right never meant anti-State capitalists.

Far-right refers historically to conservative and reactionary political groups, in particular it referred to royalists when the left-right concept was invented after the French revolution.

Nowadays, the term refers specifically to fascists, the political movements who believe in empowering the State to protect and develop Capital. Or as Mussolini put it, « Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power ».

From a quick glance the Wikipedia looks very detailed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far-right

> cracking down on any dissidents

Well there is a huge crackdown on dissidents. However, except for the January 5th crew, it's very clearly not a crackdown against the right, but against the anti-authoritarian left (anarchists) and to some extent the authoritarian left (marxist-leninists) in the US context (see: COINTELPRO, Leonard Peltier, Mummia Abu Jamal...).

With so many trials, arrests and physical assaults against militant ecologists, zadists and anti-racist activists such as in the NODAPL case or against Cop City in Atlanta, it's hard to say the far-left isn't concerned by political repression. On the other hand, with so many terrorist attacks committed by white supremacists on US soil and so little reaction from the establishment, it's very clear that the powers that be are very complacent with the far right.

To go back to lands i know more about, in the EU, islamist attacks are only a few percents of all terrorists attacks. Yet the media only talks about those as if racist militias did not exist. On the other hand, eco-anarchists sabotaging ecocidal industrial projects such as in Notre-Dame-des-Landes or Sainte-Soline get called "eco-terrorists" on every media by the establishment, despite never spilling blood in their actions. And so many comrades rot in jail for daring to believe in a better world.

I'm not saying the term "far-right" can't be misused to misrepresent various (moderate) conservative positions, but claiming it's a rhetorical trick used by those in power to prevent dissent is far from the truth.

> In a discussion about whether or not Trump built a wall at US's southern border one does not need to bring up Jan 6th at all.

That's not how that discussion would actually go. Need has nothing to do with it, and the same holds true with Musk. The detached attacks don't need to be brought up in regards to a discussion about Musk & SpaceX, and yet they are guaranteed to come up regardless.

There is no discussion today of any meaningful length that is going to happen on a major public forum (eg Reddit) regarding Trump's border wall where the events of January 6 do not come up as a prominent matter of discussion.

The reason this happens is because the target (Trump, Musk, whatever) triggers people to such an extreme emotional degree they can't control themselves properly, they can no longer think & express rationally. They have basically been trained into a hyper emotional response by the mob they participate with. It's some manner of one-upmanship, virtue signaling as competition: who can most greatly beat this target to death, using any means necessary.

an approach that goes back the the rainbow books, at least. There was some scheme to use the "break" key on the teletype for this (maybe in Multics, or OS/360 perhaps?) but I have no idea if it was ever implemented.

For those who don't remember, "break" was not an ASCII character but a literal long unmaskable pause in transmission, and couldn't be generated in software or by reading the paper tape punch, nor could it be read on the host side into an input buffer as it wasn't a character.

Social Media Has Run Out of Fresh Ideas
I don't.

There's nothing for my job that I can use it for. I am a programmer. I have been doing it for over a decade now. The majority of my job is spent in existing codebases. So, using ChatGPT or copilot actually gets in my way. Most of the time the job is simple enough I don't need it. It's more of an exercise is not letting boredom win. When it's more complicated I still don't need it because the structure and purpose of the code, how it fits into the existing code, and what exactly I want it to do is something ChatGPT can't help me with. At my experience level syntax, algorithms, and patterns are stored in the L1 cache I call my brain. When I need a reminder of something obscure its still faster for me to grok documents (because I know where to look) than it is to ask ChatGPT for a contrived example.

It might be nice for generating boilerplate or helping a junior developer get up to speed faster. I won't pay for any AI tools. There has been no situation so far where I've had to scratch my head for so long that it would've been easier to do with ChatGPT. Unfortunately, the life of a programmer is mostly boring with short periods of absolute chaos. Honestly, I wish I had a job that created interesting hard problems where ChatGPT meaningfully contributes to my work.

Ask HN: I'm building an open-source job board, what would you like to see?
This is mainly as an exercise to explore some new technologies, but I also plan on taking up this idea seriously to build a full-fledged application that can be easily self-hosted and customised so organisations can spin up their own instance if they'd like.

I have the current visions in mind:

- To build a full-stack application using Remix, to adopt best practices and to allow the application to be easily self-hostable and customisable.

- To be free and open-source, forever.

- To be community-driven and open to suggestions from everyone.

- To be accessible to everyone across the world, by supporting multiple languages.

- To look great using clean, minimalistic design approaches.
- Some inspirations include: https://startup.jobs/ or https://wellfound.com/

- To be able to create a stable (versioned) open standard for job seeker profiles that can be imported and exported easily, ensuring that users don’t have to re-enter their personal information over and over again in other platforms, or other hosted instances of the application.

I'm just trying to gauge public interest here, to see if anyone is building anything similar or to know if there's already something out there that I can take "inspiration" from.
Crystals have very little information content, though.
Thanks for the info I haven't come across it as the post I responded to said around here. Just missed the discussions I guess plus I'm kinda new. I understand not liking how a term gets used yeah, creates more misunderstandings and myths. I gotcha.
Accelerating Material Property Predictions with Graph Neural Networks
<crank warning>

I think having a little bit of slop in a human system is good. A world where your freedoms and responsibilities are entirely managed by computers, like an AWS IAM role for people, sounds awful, and this project seems to want to go there.
Yea, I really don't mind the office. It's the "going to" part that I'm unwilling to do ever again. It's kind of nice to get a little in-person time with colleagues. The open-office system kind of sucks, but nearly every company has that now. If I could snap my fingers and teleport myself there, I'd do it often: at least any time I had a bunch of meetings and didn't have to concentrate or have work that needed silence. But it's a 3 hour drive (each way) away, so nope.

> The second Salsa property is laziness. When changing the input, one can go and eagerly mark reverse-dependencies as “this might have changed”. This could create redundant work — if two modifications arrive one-after-another in a row, invalidating everything twice is wasteful. Or there might be some top-level queries whose results are no longer interesting

Er, what? If you get 2 modifications before actually forcing the computation, the second won't have to mark anything since it will quickly see "this node is already dirty" and stop propagating the dirty flag upward.

The interesting optimizations to me are 1. when should nodes share a dirty flag, and 2. for what simplicity level should you just always redo the calculation (this is highly dependent on what kind of interpreter or compiler/runtime you're evaluating with).
