> Think how we can build construction equipment thousands times stronger than any animal's muscle.

And yet the mantis shrimp can throw a punch faster than a bullet. Nature does not optimize for the same things we do. Animals did not evolve muscles as strong as some of our construction equipment, but it is hard to know whether this is because evolution is limited, or because that capability was not helpful enough to compensate for the extra fuel requirements.

> Even with same algorithms, performance of digital intelligence will be orders of magnitude higher simply because of speed and memory capacity.

Maybe. But I think you (and others) have misplaced confidence in the superiority of our technology.

Power consumption of a circuit is proportional to frequency. We have computing units that can work at GHz rates, sure, but you can't exactly cram 80 billions of these into a cubic foot unless you're planning to melt them into plasma. So we don't. Current approaches must multiplex millions of "neurons" through the same computing units, leading to effective firing rates that are not wildly different from biological neurons. If we were to switch to a different approach where each "neuron" is independent, I expect the communication speed to plummet simply because of practical considerations about energy consumption and heat dissipation.

Beyond that, I would argue that our paradigm of hardware design rests on many intentional decisions that are structurally suboptimal for intelligence, and that this is a graver problem than the brain's own inefficiencies. Take the ability that you mention to read one's own implementation and back up one's brain. This is intentional in our design. But this is not free! Unfettered read access to one's brain is a heavy internal communication requirement when you compare it to simple local communication between units, and it is naive to think it would not have a negative impact on performance. AI that can copy itself has a lower performance ceiling than a system that does not have this requirement. That's physics.

In any case, the point I'm trying to make is not about humans vs AI, it is about intelligence in general. I suspect that intelligence is excellent at simple optimization, but that it is not very good at complex optimization, and thus for any intelligence there may be a point where it starts to underperform relative to e.g. evolution.

If you pay your religion for a religious service, and they fail to do it, you should sue. If you book a wedding at a church, they can't just call off the wedding and not give your money back.

If your church turns out not to even be a church, but a copywriting scam, and you donated to it, you should sue.
It is hard to guess what people would work on without needing to worry about money.

You might try your novel, and one of two things could happen:

You find out you love it, you write a really good novel, and society wins.

You try it, find out that the actual experience of writing a novel is a drag. No harm no foul, you move on and keep trying things until you find something you are really passionate about and good at, and society wins.

Maybe it is programming but you just need a more interesting program.
On a smaller scale, these "I'm looking at it" emails are also good for internal problems (accidental downtime, discovered bug, etc) for the exact same reason.
Presumably such a system would keep a history of expired identifiers, so law enforcement could still look it up after it's been expired and replaced with a new one.
Right, and you can land on the moon with basic newtonian mechanics. The are millions of devils in the details but for a person to decide how big a rocket to build and whether it could land vertically after a payload of X that needs a delta-V of Y, its easy napkin math to prove feasibility.

Executing it is then one of the hardest things people can do but SpaceX had all the best people at the time.
Better to add said common issues to instcombine with a test case instead. But if you wanted tooling to look for misuse of your library API or similar, that can be done (and has been, at least out of tree).

I can see you haven't done any of jobs like that ever in your life. "Social stigma", lmao, that shit smells

> But at the same time, if you observed that very very few people wanted to clean sewers for whatever reason, and there wasn't enough supply to meet demand, then you invest more in technology that reduces the shortfall.

It's delusional to think every job that's undesirable but necessary could be automated and that it would be cheaper than ye olde good material compensation for doing something hard/unpleasant.

I mean, I'm all for it, but that won't happen to the level that would eliminate unpleasant jobs
I always had the idea of building something similar to this for my own use: have a dashcam recording while I was driving, and every night taking those videos and extract the timestamp/GPS/plate number and a short video clip of all cars I encountered on that day.

I haven't thought too much about why documenting these would be useful, but on top of my mind I could get answer of these questions:
- have I seen this fancy/unique looking car in the past?
- is this the same douche bag that I saw last week who can't drive?
- what's the last CA plate number starts with now? Is it 9G or 9H?
- are there more people driving w/ a 9[A-Z] plate in my town? (As a proxy of knowing how many people are still buying new cars in my town)
Wow, that's pretty damning. Good one.
> It's been five years and not one single damn person has been a confirmed victim of it yet

Well, everyone patched things pretty aggressively, so exploitation isn't really practical. At minimum, that's why. Also, vuln research can take a long time to turn into exploits - there are so many existing primitives that people are exploring right now (ebpf, io_uring) that have practical exploitation primitives already designed, so there isn't much pressure to go for something that's already patched and that would require a lot of novel research to find reliable primitives for it.

As for the mitigations, just disable them? They're on by default because Linux doesn't know what your use case is, but if your use case isn't relevant to the mitigation's threat model please feel free to disable them. It is very simple to do so.

You believe "one racial group is inferior to or superior to another racial group in any way" multiple times a day?

> problem arises in what that statement does for the racists in America

Do you count us (you and I) among those racists? Or are these the non-neon-sign racists?

Do you see the problem? It's insidious.

And do you see the meta problem? This is an intellectually-satisfying semantic debate. But it's entirely devoid of actual meaning! We haven't actually discussed implicit-association biases nor the role of normalizing biased institutions in giving cover to individuals who soundly believe that some races are superior to others. Meanwhile, I take it we both feel strongly about the nothing we're debating.
Ask HN: Have you successfully raised prices?
I'm curious: has anyone successfully raised prices without backlash, especially as a product-led b2b company? I regularly see subscription price increases for streaming services and the like, but I'm curious whether anyone has accomplished something similar with SaaS without too much turnover.

It's more like you ordered a book on Amazon, but it was shipped from Wal-Mart instead.

You still got your book. These people got their psychic readings. Just from a different source.

It reminds me of famous artists where a lot of their work was done by assistants.

> Were I processing my solid waste for the garden (with soldier fly larvae or heat, etc) we'd have some decent, though costly, humanure (I do use my urine for the compost pile).

Love this <3, great idea. Are you taking any meds that might change the compost in some way? I used to take Amphetamines for/against my ADHD for a while and the urine did indeed have a negative impact on the soil! As well as too much vitamin B for too long. The soild "burned"/killed the seeds.

I'm not asking because of climate change, actually, even though it is indeed a relevant reason. I'm asking because there seem to be peculiar connections between functioning/high functioning people and over-eating and rationality vs rationalization, which some former acquaintances are keen on investigating scientifically.
I work for Infinite Red (leading RN consultancy), and we have really bought into Expo in full force in the past year or so. The addition of EAS, and prebuild with config plugins has completely changed the game and for us and all but eliminated the need to ever do bare workflow anymore.

Things we love about the expo ecosystem

- React Native upgrades are much less painful if you use prebuild. Upgrading the expo SDK takes care of most things for you

- EAS makes distributing and managing certs incredibly easy

- Most expo packages (like expo-camera, etc) are some of the best out there and very well documented and supported

- The Expo team is incredibly talented and always willing to help if issues arise.
That means average citizens are the only ones who would end up with less data

That doesn't sound like a drawback, I can understand the public benefit of the police being able to look me up by license plate number but not for the average citizen being able to do the same. This is separate from the issue that there should be stricter limits on law enforcement use of the data.

It's also important to remember how different that era of broadcast TV is from today though. It was far more centralized. Pre-streaming services, obviously, but also less penetration of cable and satellite TV, and so when something made it onto live broadcast television, there was a large audience, and they didn't have as many choices about what to watch, instead.

So to get yourself onto live television in a popular spot, and do what she did was ballsy, and obviously clearly intended to make impact... but you can also see how people who tuned in expecting one thing and got something else could get angry. Which was of course her intent.

>My take is that a social media used for critical information at the scale of Twitter should be managed by a non-profit organization whose goal is to create, scale and maintain the platform from a technical standpoint, but also to moderate its content by creating a committee composed by people from around the world, representative of all the users of the service, who would be entitled to edict its rules.

Or, better not to have one entity monopolizing all users data, news, influence, and list goes on. Back in the day before social media, forums existed, each was specialized in a niche, politics, sure, you have that, oh you are interested in sports cars!? Great, have that forum, and so one. The good part is, we are getting to a full circle now and people realized (hopefully at least after the reality slaps from twitter/reddit) that’s better to have it the old way, forums, federated nodes, instances, you name it, that way it will prevent similar scenarios like Twitter one, where you make a social media, get crazy popular, then some rich dude buy it, rinse and repeat.

So, I’m happy that mastodon (or similar) are taking over slowly, I’m also happy to see people aren’t fixated on twitter/Reddit as before, and I don’t think making a new “twitter” will bring back the old ways, I don’t think they are getting back ever, the generation who populated twitter/Reddit are the same who did it back in forums and they are leaving traditional social media, and the new generation have an attention span of a gold fish so platforms like tiktok are more appealing.
So what happened to all the reports, predictions and prophesies of Meta Platforms Inc. formerly known as Facebook sinking all the way to the ground and never recovering because of Zuckerberg to the point where not only the stock crashed, but some wanted him to resign.

I guess you can now blame him for the rebound in Meta's stock from $90 to $320 in less than a year had you bought there and not listened to the hysterical news and pundits proclaiming the death of Meta Platforms.

Hilarious how opinions have changed more times like the weather now. So such of these calls of Meta crashing to the ground and never recovering was of course greatly exaggerated.

The usual argument is that vanilla HTTP makes it possible for a man-in-the-middle (your ISP, presumably?) to tamper with data payloads before they're delivered.

Requiring HTTPS means you require clients to have up-to-date TLS certificates and implementations. This provides a ratchet that slowly makes it harder and harder to use old computers and old software to access the web. Forced obsolescence and churn is highly desirable for anybody who controls the new standards, including Google.

In the context of building a new rocket system?

Allegedly the development of the F35 cost about $35 billion

If I look at it through that frame, spending $1.1B on developing

For the most part I agree with you. Except for what is and isn't the most important issue facing America from a purely personal perspective. I see the transgenderism thing as a slippery slope, canary in the coal mine issue that can lead to more rights being stripped from parents. I wish transgender people nothing but happiness in life but very clearly differentiate between a choice made by adults and one made for children by the government. I'm a small world guy, I have my family and not much else that I really care about. So for me anything that endangers my rights as a parent or the way in which I choose to raise my child is the most important thing to me. Of course there are exceptions, some parents are just bad people that should not have control of their kids, but aside from people like this I think parents rights should be absolute. If we let the government control kids, what is going to happen when the party we don't like comes to power and does the same?

As far as being centrist, absolutely. I still think I am, I just think the Dems have moved very far left and while the reps. moved too, not as far. I am not a fan of either. Currently planning on voting for split government whenever I can. One side can have the house, the other the presidency and senate. No one gets to make massive changes unless both sides agree.
I haven't seen the actual blog post, but my understanding was the comment was about Rust conferences, not workplace.

European growth was propelled by a diversity of extracted resources. Previous empires extracted mostly food. A system such as the Dutch East Indies in the 1600s, where the natives were forced to neglect growing food for themselves and tend to the production of spices instead (to be sold halfway across the world) [1], would have been completely out of place as the way to run a province of the Roman or the Ottoman Empire. Another example is that the Indians were forced to stop producing their own textiles ("calicoes" that were quite popular on the world market) in order to buy inferior English products instead (for which they would ship the raw cotton); again, something never encountered at this scale in the classical or medieval worlds [2].

I personally hate this train of thought. It sounds identical to the "all great things originally looked like toys" and then this gets twisted to the invalid conclusion that "all toys will eventually be great". His logic also seems to contradict their early validation mantra. I'd appreciate an even more strict filter on startup ideas, preventing so much waste on multiple versions of the same unneeded projects.
Seems interesting will definitely give it a try.

> If files get too large, it can be difficult for Continue to fit them into the limited LLM context windows. Try to highlight the section of code that include the relevant context. It's rare that you need the entire file.

Most of the value and real world use case benefits come from usage in a brownfield development where a legacy code isn’t well understood and is large (exceed current LLM context ?)

Masked ADHD? Just ADHD. There is no progression. Meds are unreliable. Moreover, my opinion is that this particular place on the spectrum is where ADHD and Asperger's meet. Stated differently, the puzzle of ADHD-PI may be that it is instead a symptom of (sometimes very high functioning) autism.

Very much unclear why I got down-voted for a pretty uncontroversial comment? I guess people didn't like that I took the train as a kid in the 90s before smartphones?
Agreed, this looks bogus. Some suspicious points:

In the first paper, they claim to measure zero resistance (on a scale of microvolts), but are very careful not to show full RvT curves - in the second paper, we can still see significant changes below Tc where they include more complete curves. How can the resistance change significantly in the superconducting (zero resistance) state? We can actually see significant noise in paper 1 fig. 1c in the ohmic state and it even appears to behave as an insulator at 0 field (increasing resistance with decreasing temperature), but a metal with applied field. There's something wrong with the measurement.

400 K is an odd choice for your superconducting temperature, and just so happens to be the top end of what an MPMS system can measure so is not completely random. Surely it makes sense to measure significantly above this with one of the oven attachments, verify these results with collaborators at other labs even.

10 Gauss is an extremely small field to use for a ZFC-FC measurement and again if their superconducting Tc is at or above 400K they need higher temperature data to show anything about the phase transition.

The claim that they have measured the density of states is completely unjustified - not even a citation. I don't know how you can believe that to be the case.

And in general the presentation both of the data and the paper itself is poor - if you just made a groundbreaking discovery like this, wouldn't you care?

Saas is a model that looks great for some cases but overall leads to shittification of many apps as the way it is often done, to make 100% sure nobody can just use a copy of a program they have, is by putting it in the cloud, which means higher costs to them and worse experience to user (even the best web apps feel pretty laggy compared to native).
