To be fair, mass misery is very real: starvation, thirst, poverty, forced migration, etc. It's just a "local" problem and internal so "doesn't count" to the popbomb deniers.

Also, it's worth nothing that modern economic growth models pretty much all depend on population growth, so steady state population is a recipe for economic stagnation. Obviously, technology disrupts this but our economic systems aren't setup for that, e.g. UBI.

Finally, climate impact is tied to population: fewer people, less impact.

I often went swimming in the Rhine as a child in Germany, around 50km south of Frankfurt.

We had a rubble beach and the river only was 1m deep for half its width.

Was pretty nice. The water was colder than in the lakes and it came with a natural counter-current system, so you could swim in-place.
I disagree. The problem is that AI will flood the market to an extent that humans will barely be able to keep up, moving from one AI-generated thing to the next, barely having time any more to spend any real effort on enjoying life.

Do you really know what you're talking about here?

That's not a compiler...

I don't claim to be an expert on lisp, so further googling I find

https://racket.discourse.group/t/chez-for-architectures-with...

which has some discussion about this and that native backend.

Suffice it to say I am not any more confident that being compilable is somehow intrinsic to lisp.

Maybe, but enough people like modern day pop music, so by that criteria it is good.
I do not see this as practical at all.

To begin with, pretty much every government employee in the world has some proprietary software developed within the country for security reasons. Old, even obsolete machines. Out of date software, unlicensed/unregistered software, etc, etc. Much of this is also true of banks.

This means if this is put in place as in the spec, it will affect banks and governments negatively. And as powerful as Google is, I don't think it will win over governments + banks.

But again, all the above could be nonsense, and Google will gatekeep the web. It found itself as the loser in the AI race, and it knows pursuing AI during the ongoing arguments on privacy and who owns the data AI is being trained on - the next best thing is to own the playground where the AI trains. That may not be an entirely bad thing either; sad, perhaps, but as this goes on, and browsing becomes a pain, maybe this will result in people just spending less time online? That's a good outcome in my books.

There's lots of kibbutz (communes) in Israel. Apparently most aren't too bad. The one I visited seemed decent. But Jewish culture has a pretty strong community ethic which is key.

I also visited a couple of Greek Orthodox monasteries and they were not just nice but beautiful. So for small scale communities with a strong cultural binding "communes" can totally work. It doesn't scale though.
I believe it has. CGI at the beginning was okay but like all technologies, humans could not resist bring it to a high level of efficiency. Now all CGI movies are pretty bland and barely any effort is brought to storytelling.

Is there a LLM Model that generates image in its output? (not Generative AI)
I was learning about Connectionists temporal classification(CTC) algo for speech recognition. Some part of the text I was referring to was a little confusing and I didn't wanted to misunderstand how it actually worked, so I went to Mr. saviour ChatGPT for explaination, it did explain it to me but still IF it could JUST generate an image of that architecture.As image is worth a million words. I suppose that would mark the block for blogging industry(at least temporarily).

I want to know is there any LLM Model that has this functionality implemented that I am missing.

I really can't see it as a problem. This can and of course, because there are so many nations in the world, will without doubt be fixed by a rather small and comparatively insignificant step to authoritarianism - on the historical scale of calamities of the XX century with Nazis, Commies, Mao, Pol Pot and whatnot - completely insignificant. Probably even less distressing that a relatively trivial Trump and his loyal "red hats" story.

Governments will simply hire women to have children and pay them for that. There are so many poor women, especially many of those who missed their chance to get married due to perceived overabundance of men brought by Tinder - by the time they are ready to settle, it's too late and the government will be right there to offer an alternative.

There is no objective issue with fertility. If there is, IVF is a well-debugged and cheap technique that easily scales. Nothing prevents these women from having 6-10 children for a living. Economy won't crumble from that either, costs are easy to calculate and completely acceptable. It can be compensated by withdrawing all other benefits, tax breaks and support to families, because that won't be necessary anymore.

Surely when some country starts doing it first, it will be met with outrage. But then a question will hang in the air - what do we do next? Bomb them? An idea too awkward to even suggest. Just let them make a quantum leap in development over everyone else simply for being too uppity? Also a hard sell. Eventually everyone will have to adjust their value system and do the same. It will be a much much smaller step to the right to make than say, legalisation of gay marriage we all just witnessed, was a major step left. It doesn't even mean directly breaking anyone's rights. Not nearly as bad as say China's one-child policy.
This post seems almost completely vacuous to me.
I guess you could read it to mean that if a person cheats, there must be some "societal problem" causing it. That would seem to imply you believe society could in principle be 'fixed' s.t. no one is ever incentivized to cheat. Is that what you mean?
Or simply, s.t. fewer people are incentivized to cheat. In that case, duh. But fewer to what extent? And are there any actual constructive suggestions forthcoming?

I don't know if you have ever written an inliner, but it seems simple enough until you realise you are trying to restrain a rabid dog on a leash.

I wrote one a long time ago that was a part of a project that was moderately popular, but it had issues and incremental changes had a tendency to trigger weird edge cases. in the end someone with a CS PhD wrote a different one (while keeping quiet on the awfulness of my implementation) and it was so much nicer in every way. Reading his code was like reading poetry.

That was when I realised code should be deliberate. Every line is a step towards a goal. I think that is why rewriting something when you understand the problem domain better can be so liberating.
I didn't say starve. I just meant to take a break from eating (you know, like between meals?). AI and computer technology has removed the breaks between meals.

I read the paper. It’s fundamentally I think an exponential problem but they apply some constraints to reduce it: only considering tuples of size n <= 3, pruning.

Personally I think the case where you’re doing this on one column is not that interesting: for each column, get all values with >= support frequency, group by it on old and new, include in results is risk_ratio over threshold. List results in order of risk_ratio. Going from that to just two columns is much much more computationally demanding and where pruning and such really matters.
That is not the whole story. Capitalism likes the following process (if you can say capitalism "loves" anything, which isn't quite right. It's more like the abusers of capitalism love this):

1. Create scarcity,
2. Flood the market to reap short term gains with market-disrupting technology
3. Creat new scarcity by creating new products
Kind of amazed that the entire product description doesn't even use the word "privacy" anywhere.
Popularity does not mean good. Also I assume most killer apps use right tool for the job - For example in a corporate setting with multiple developers something like Java would be better.

I speculate the following - if there are few developers who love lisp, then all can try to mob program a lisp code base -- multiple cursors, same time (code review and development all happen parallel). (Not sure if such an editor exists) This would be a good way to maintain a lisp code base I think (speculation). (Compared to Java where you can work mostly alone and make a mess and it will still work somewhat OK)
Painting with an incredibly broad brush while also oversimplifying the situation to the degree of misunderstanding is, I'm sure, emblematic of the people wherever you come from.
Common Lisp programs run by default in a way that calls to undefined functions are detected.

Here the Lisp simply tries to look up the function object from the symbol. There is no function, so it signals a condition (aka exception). The default exception handler gets called (without unwinding the stack). This handler prints the restarts and calls another REPL. I define the function -> the symbol now has a function definition. We then resume and Lisp tries again to get the function definition. The computation continues where we were.

That's the DEFAULT behavior you'll find in Common Lisp implementations.

You can write out the equations of motion for a bicycle that will very accurately predict the dynamics. You can put these equations into a numerical simulation and predict motion very accurately. You can change the parameters of the model and do simulations with high confidence. Just because there isn't some neat little equation that says exactly what each parameter change is going to do (without doing the simulation) doesn't mean that we don't understand bicycle physics. It's a silly line of reasoning. Those articles are hyperbolic.

Always been fascinated by Lisp, but I never spent enough time to enjoy its elegance and applications. I went through Lurk, a Lisp dialect, a Turing-complete programming language for recursive zk-SNARKs in the last year. I started to grasp a bit of its potential in solving real-world problems, but still too little to understand why it's so right for solving some problems. I'm curious about what other projects you guys are successfully and better solving because of Lisp today.
Show HN: Share your gratitude in public one sticky note at a time
Gratitude deserves to be seen.

Each of us can point to individuals who've impacted our lives in significant ways. Perhaps it was a mentor who guided us, a friend who stood by us during challenging times, or a family member whose love was unwavering and unconditional. However, they don't get to hear our appreciations, especially in public.

In many organizations, we've embraced the practice of expressing gratitude to our colleagues through karma points, kudos, or similar recognition. While these gestures are valuable, they often happen behind closed doors.

Therefore I made this little website so that we can share our gratitude in public and inspire others to do the same.

I was extremely stubborn when I started out in python. Built a script for everything. Jupyter is messy. But once I started using it I never went back for data analysis tasks.

Say you have a large file you want to read into memory. That’s step 1, it takes a long time to parse that big json file they sent you. Then you want to check something about that data, maybe sum one of the columns. That’s step 2. Then you realize you want to average another column. Step 3.

If you write a basic python script, you have to run step 1 and 2 sequentially, then once you realize you want step 3 as well, you need to run 1, 2 and 3 sequentially. It quickly becomes much more convenient to have the file in memory.
I am working on this for a different definition of term dataset. I started learning deep learning which led me to start building datasets.

Wanting to store versions of the datasets efficiently I started building a version control system for them. It tracks objects and annotations and can roll back to any point in time. It helps answer questions like what has changed since the last release and which user made which changes.

Still working on the core library but I'm excited for it.
Yes, humans take many things for granted. That's why it's better to experience a lack of things sometimes because we are just wired to move onto the next thing.

Easy, you let them go. You shouldn't be in jail for something that is legal. Now, if there's more to the crime than possession (and honestly I don't personally care about distribution), then that's a different story. But that different story needs to include something that is illegal with current laws.

Well, in any case, there are only 3 ways out of it:

- Japan becomes an almost empty and stateless or only having a nominal state, landmass with very little population and no functioning economy (no transport network, no electricity grid etc). Unlikely - it's climate is too good.

- It gets militarily taken over as soon it's too weak to defend itself. Likely but undesirable because you don't get to pick who takes you over and that will be by definition someone hostile.

- Immigration and replacement. This is the most beneficial of the realistic options. Because you get to pick the people who replaces you.
I use a Chromebook for everything and terminal to write all my code and I have a few servers on Vultr/Github/Bunny.net to host web apps which cost me about $40/month.

I normally buy domains in decade-lengths so I don't have to worry about paying for them or paying a renewal fee. Any apps I use on Chromebook are all free or I find it online for free.

Photopea.com or Pixlr.com are in place of Adobe Photoshop and even GIMP.

Google Drive does a good job of keeping all my documents.

BinCDN.com (my own custom built CDN) is great for my storage.

The most common online tool I use is a "replace all" for when I have to code something and replace an "all" of something. (http://www.unit-conversion.info/texttools/replace-text/)

The reason I switched to a Chromebook full-time even over a Macbook is because it generally remains fast and I only buy Chromebooks that allow for an LTE Internet connection for which unlimited internet costs me about $25 a month on a grandfathered plan on T-Mobile.

Since I work remote, I often try to connect on some free Internet place... almost every fast food restaurant and big retail store has Internet availability. If my LTE isn't working great, if Xfinity is available, you can usually connect to an Xfinity Internet connection and they offer Xfinity WiFI packages for $20 for 30 days -- usually ends up being way cheaper than staying on a regular Internet-only plan ($60 - $100).
