"bluffer" would be a humorous alternative.
I found your comment amusing, which is why I vouched for it. Otherwise all your other recent comments seem to be dead for whatever reason, meaning only people like me who have showdead=1 can see them. Just to let you know.
Sure - and of course let me preface this by saying I am not an archaeologist, merely someone who is interested.

My comment was perhaps overgeneralizing specifically from the early neolithic transition in Europe more broadly than I should have been. One example of the work I am discussing is the work of Cavalli-Sforza (ie https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.94.15.7719). My understanding of the history of academic work on this subject was the prior to the 1970s or 80s or so, it was largely thought the spread of agriculture did not imply genetic population replacement and subsequent genetic research has since proven that is false.

I don't think the article you've linked actually disagrees with me. Excerpting briefly

> Essentially, in the Pueblo Southwest, language became partially decoupled from
genes and culture, probably because language is a stronger convention (Young
1966) than are the other two, and can therefore better withstand the blending forces discussed below. A second force for creating zones of cultural similarity, more applicable to the case of phylogenetically distinct groups considered here, is through mixture of groups via movement of people (“demic” diffusion) that also entrained sharing of culture. To the extent that this describes the Pueblo case, once again, such mixing could not to have been so extreme as to undermine the linguistic differences that still survive. Recent research (e.g., Kandler 2009) provides some guidance as to the factors determining which language will prevail when linguistically different groups come into contact. The relative sizes of the populations, their relative status, and the duration of the flow are all relevant. To the extent that emigrating populations were relatively low in status, small in number, and arriving sporadically, it is more likely that they would adopt, rather than displace, the language of any group they were entering. Of course cultural similarities among groups can also emerge without population movement by copying neighboring groups, a process that anthropologists once simply called diffusion (e.g., Sahlins 1960). In the terms used by Collard et al. (2006), both movement of people among groups and this horizontal cultural transmission among groups are blending processes, as opposed to the branching processes discussed in the
previous paragraph.

To me, this article seems to be attempting to explain the cultural similarity between (at least originally) disparate linguistic Pueblo groups (that largely, afaict from the article, share common genetics). In the paragraph above, you can see that the author is describing population migration and displacement as one of the key ways for cultural/linguistic transfer (especially when the populations moving are large) that 'can also' emerge without displacement, but I understand the article to be describing this as a minoritarian current - an exception to the broader pattern of pre-modern linguistic & cultural spread through displacement.
The comments, to my eye, have aged extremely poorly.
I don't know how it works outside of Italy but here we can make instantaneous bank transfers for free or a really small (and capped fee) to anyone just knowing their bank account without leaking any secret information.

How does it work in the US?

To give him credit I don't think he was saying he was going to write new drivers, just build a ML software stack that worked on whatever they ship for the consumer cards. Certainly a large project by itself with questionable value at this point, but not writing new drivers.
I'll add just this. Every time I have encountered health care software, I have been appalled at the poorly planned user interface. I do mean appalled. I would never tolerate this in software I normally use. With all the money (power) behind the health care industry, I don't know why they tolerate it nor why they don't demand change.
No, I think a half decent paper is expected to 3ither explain their methods or reference a paper that explains their method

You don't get to handwave away the instructions of your experiment in my mind. Maybe other fields are fine without that, but I would never write a paper that doesn't clearly explain how I made samples or reference a paper which does. To do otherwise is bad science.

It's not about a reviewer replicating it, it's about anybody replicating it in a year or 30 years.
Not in the face of such overwhelming evidence; it’s literally their job to make sure things are effective. It turns out medical studies are weaker evidence than anyone would like, but here there was quite compelling evidence that it was useless!

This has really not been my experience... until just now.

A few times before I've tried using auto generated subs and every time I turned them off within a minute because so much of it is nonsense. Last time was about a month ago.

It seemed to get a lot of simple sentences right but every few it completely misparsed. Additionally, it seemed like every uncommon name or technical term became something else.

In light of your comment I went to YouTube to evaluate it again and... it's a lot better than I remember! I watched a few minutes of a video analysing some music and everything, including music terms, was correct.

My guess is they assumed it came through the steppe i.e. from the north, not their region the south/Caucasus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurgan_hypothesis

It would be more realistic to compare pre-pandemic numbers since behavior was so wildly divergent from normal during the lockdowns.

However I'd rather the full cause of those deaths were broken down. How many were _just_ someone driving fast? Many drivers do go faster than the recommended / suggested speed, without incident, every day in many places. Surely most of those instances involve some other factor. Maybe it's drugs or alcohol, maybe it's mechanical failure or a medical condition, maybe it's criminal intent to harm. They are rare but I can think of two or three somewhat recent national news stories that involve someone crazy using their vehicle as a weapon on sidewalks or against crowds.
Space may be limited but it's not utilized. In my local metro's business district around 60% of storefronts are sitting vacant and yet rent for these spaces is still astronomical. And it's been that way since 2020. The push for a return to the office is a clear cash grab.
Civil servants have working standards and governance.

Politicians have none. Only popularity and polling. And donors, of course.

What behavior would anyone expect?
What likely works better in conservative environments, are not donations, but (generous) support contracts. This is something buisness people can understand.
>We need neighborhoods that people want to be in for reasons other than work!

Every other reason eventually boils down to this very point.

Turns out, specialized districts were a massive city planning mistake.
> The URLs that were being overwritten were only a few crypto exchange websites that partnered with Brave. The affiliate URL was supposed to be a suggestion but the bug made it overwrite the URL.

I'm sure the outcry from folks who recognized this was happening did not have anything to do with the affiliate program being canned and this 'bug' being patched ASAP. It's quite an egregious thing for a browser to screw up. That kind of trust can't be bought back by saying "Nothing of that sort happened again", because now that statement is permanently "Nothing of that sort happened again...yet" because that trust is gone.

If this issue wasn't "blown way out of proportions", one can only theorize how how long this bug would have stayed. The way I see it, the CEO apologizing is basically an apology that they got caught with their hand in the cookie jar.
Not ‘All’.

Just like 90% of startups fail, it is the same with 90% of crypto startups, and AI startups will fail. The 10% remaining will continue to exist.

Just stop this absolutist nonsense.
> if it was just harmless “natural neurodiversity”, it wouldn’t translate to reduced life expectancy.

Without disagreeing that the space of neurodivergence includes some life affecting disabilities, this generalization would also prove that race is not just harmless “natural diversity” but that being of a non-dominant race is also a “life affecting disability”. There are other explanations for correlation with reduced life expectancy than individual disability.
Interesting. I've had this problem several times as well. Are you getting better at budgeting over time? Or are these 15-20% constant?

Also, budgeting and defining project limits takes time. Do you manage to bill more to take this into account?
I wish he'd have done a harder one. This one felt too easy, because you can just Google where he's from, and just Google search '1948 address louisville ky'.
This might be a great resource for generative AI. I hope they incorporate in any of the upcoming AIs
> If voters supported radical climate policy

That is the issue, no one whats to change their life style and people do not like change.

MAGA people will not change, even the many environmental left wing people will not change their life styles all that much. Never mind changing your life style is difficult in many places due to Infrastructure in the US.

So, unless politicians make the hard choices, nothing will be done to address Climate Change in time to even keep under 2C.
I’ve been doing some dives into Mac 68K programming recently, and ran into the same question—what about color on System 6? Like the author, I don’t have a Mac which is both color and runs System 6.

The old Inside Macintosh volumes are sometimes difficult to follow. New features got added to newer system software versions, and new features got added to newer ROM versions, and if you want to support older Macs, then you sometimes have to search through the volumes until you find when a particular feature was introduced. (The original Inside Macintosh volumes are organized in chronological order, corresponding to major ROM or system software updates.) If you just look at the description of one of the functions in the OS or toolbox, there’s no mention of when it was introduced.

I also discovered that despite my efforts to make a program compatible with the Mac 128K and 512K, my programs won’t run on those systems. The 128K and 512K have the very first ROM version, with the 64K ROMs, and I suspect that the application startup code which ships with CodeWarrior checks for a 64K ROM and aborts the program. So even if I’m careful to only use functions that are available in the 64K ROM, my program won’t run on a 64K ROM unless I use a different toolchain or rewrite the startup code.
> Could these words not have been derived somewhat later independently

That would require that the independent languages maintained the exact same derivational process of reduplication + zero-grade ablaut in the root. We know from the attested history of IE language that derivational processes last only for a while before they die out. That independent languages maintained that particular derivational process (which is inseparable from historical-phonological developments, too) for thousands and thousands of years, is extremely unlikely, which is just one of the many pieces of evidence against the Anatolian hypothesis.
I know exactly zero developers that use a Mac without homebrew installed.
It's a step in the right direction, but the issue is that there's so much that can't be removed from Emacs with build flags, eg. `lisp/play/`. Even setting the `-games` USE flag in Gentoo only removes cross-user score sharing[1], because (although less likely with games) you never know what modules might depend on within the standard distribution. Emacs is a big ball of stuff that no one's been willing to tease apart, even when it comes to modules that are probably not going to be loaded at runtime.

For me YouTube captions/transcription have always been really bad, but whenever YouTube switched to some Whisper equivalent (or Whisper itself, ha) it has improved tremendously and rarely gets things wrong, in my own experience.
Let’s take a look at income (not wealth)

The US has a GDP per capita of $80K, so if it were distributed equally, everyone would “get” $80K. Since in reality the distribution is very skewed a lot of people would earn more.

Of course, that’s if we artificially constrain this to the US. The world-wide GDP per capita is only $12K. So if we’d be really equitable with the whole world, we’d all have to make do with a lot less.
> Although the c symbol was adapted from Weber's constant, it was probably thought appropriate for it to represent the velocity of light later on because of this Latin interpretation.

Why do you say that?

You provide an ambiguous answer, with no evidence (unless I misunderstand). That's not history.
Well the space is not limited anymore, as the commenters suggest. The natural progression is for rents to go lower.

The problem is that would mean that the valuation of the real estate would need to change, which would imply debt repayment, and given higher interest rates:
default or finance under onerous terms or being cash rich already.

At the end (as the Fed expects): defaults => lower real estate value ^ rents => cheaper food options.

And that is where usually executive is going to come in to save Government Supported Real Estate (GSE), and throw a wrench to Feds approach.

tl;dr: the government supports this situation it will come to make it worse once again /s.
On the contrary, it is VERY surprising these conditions didn't last, given that productivity only ever increased since then.

If favorable, but short lived conditions were behind this sudden change, then it would affect the entire economic system, not just the workforce.

How well people are off is a function of how many resources there are to go around. Since the end of WWII, these resources only ever increased. So did worker productivity, aka. the amount of resources produced per worker. So if people are worse off now, that leads to the very easy deduction that the fault lies in how these resources are distributed, not with a scarcity of the resources themselves.

Or to put this another way:

If the previously better conditions were just a fluke that couldn't be expected to last, how come that corporations seem to rake in ever more money as time goes on?
Isn't this exactly what the parent was saying? "Stream of bytes" is not a meaningful thing that Powershell deals with by default. Using an operation like "pipe to file" on a text stream (like the Success output stream) will treat the stream as text, regardless of whether you managed to get raw binary data into the stream. This is kind of the whole point of Powershell: there is no such thing as raw binary data, and you have to work harder if you want to deal with something as bytes. It's certainly a culture shock coming from "everything is a stream of bytes" Unix-land.
Then it appears we had no choice, a self fulfilling prophecy.
As it turns out, a bloody pig mask isn't a drone and planting a GPS tracker isn't the equivalent of killing or maiming everyone at a wedding and the people that did this were subject to criminal penalties.

This is in contrast to militaries who are assumed to operate as legitimate extensions of foreign policy.
Absolutely. I get that you're coming from a good and useful place here! It's special pleading for me to say "HN is awash in dubious business advice but you should take Patrick's advice more seriously than most, while remembering that it's just outsider-looking-in advice". But that's my take!

Mostly I was just moved to comment because I got the vibe that Patrick was coming across to you as condescending, and I know he was working hard not to come across that way.
I am not really religious at all but something about the Basilica at Assisi made me feel something that I never felt anywhere else I have visited. Hard to describe, I sort of felt lighter after visiting. I sense of calm that maybe the closest I've felt was after a long session of guided meditation.
They neglect one of the biggest ways we can revitalize downtown areas: build lots of new homes on underdeveloped properties. Not only will this drive demand for downtown office space, it will provide foot traffic for small businesses. It also shortens commutes and is good for the environment.
I don't have a full answer, and acknowledge that this will be a difficult transition, but humanity had lived for millennia before the modern concept of "a job", and many tribal societies still do, so we know it's possible.

As for "happy", I don't think humans will ever be generally happy, but there's nothing new about that - our neural chemistry keeps us at a state of want as an adaptation; c'est la vie. As I see it, if you want something resembling lasting happiness, you need either drugs, or to relinquish "the self" via deep mindfulness, or to engineer ourselves beyond being human.

I guess then it would be your government eroding encryption in your country. To take it your way, every law passed everywhere has an effect on anything, which is so indirect it starts to become meaningless.

The UK has been getting less relevant for years. It's why tech companies are telling it to stick its laws without concern about losing that market. So its position on encryption is becoming less relevant too. But sure it's erosion and that sucks.
Retail != Office

Retail rent will fall because nobody is in the offices. Retail business will close because of less traffic, and thus there will be more space.

But, retail leases are typically 5-10+ years. Why would a landlord lower the rent now to a small business and get stuck in a long lease, when they don't know if the office space will recover and the big businesses will want to come back?

It is a game of chicken.

The Gaulle considered the United Kingdom too closely aligned with the United States for comfort. At the time, De Gaulle's first veto on that topic came shortly after the US agreed to supply the UK with Polaris missiles for the UK's nuclear weapons program.

De Gaulle also wanted to shield the nascent EEC from the United States's influence as much as possible. For him, integrating the United Kingdom into the EEC would have moved the EEC's barycenter too far towards Washington.

The problem is mismatch between spec sheet and customer needs, not mismatch between spec sheet and card. I don't know whether this is a management problem at AMD or an engineering problem at AMD or both. I don't really care, either -- a "wans't me!" from engineering is completely uninteresting to me. The problem is that AMD's consumer cards don't run ROCm while NVidia's consumer cards all run CUDA.

I am amazed that Geohot reached out to AMD to extend an olive branch so far as to force their failure of a product to work despite itself, because frankly I'd just have expected AMD to spin excuses like you did. I am encouraged to see that they took a higher road; hopefully that translates to actual execution. We'll see.
As a percentage of income that 78/480 is probably less in the monthly payment than the 10/30 or at least in the same ballpark, since interest rates back then were probably much higher for the 10/30 loan, assuming equal percentage down payments and same terms and what not.

> AI/technology is reaching a phase where it can reap every advantage

No, the one who can reap every advantage of the new skills and knowledge learned by AI is actually you. They are all just one prompt away.

> no one has any meaningful contribution since AI can do it better

It won't be human vs AI, but human+AI vs human+AI.

Has anyone noticed a trend? every AI task is fragile, they all need human oversight in critical scenarios. Looks like AI is only going to scale as much as we can scale oversight. It will have to be a human+AI team effort.
There's nothing in the Tom's Hardware article about a hybrid CPU config or Zen5c cores, so this Wccftech rumor is not just a retread of the Tom's Hardware article and the Tom's article provides very little support for the Wccftech rumor.

> How are you going to share your passion in creating art when most people will be rather indifferent to art ~~due to AI~~?

This is already true, regardless of AI. Most hobbies or pursuits people act on have quite a small group (compared to the total population) of people they can share their interest with. It's not like everyone loves art (or any particular interest) right now or cares to talk about it for more than maybe an hour in a month.

People form relationships based on their interests (or at least what they spend a lot of time doing), deliberately or not. I play video games and write software. Most of my friends share at least partial interest with one of those two things. I almost never talk about either of these thing with family, since they don't have interest.

None of my friends are into Muay Thai. This would likely be different from someone who is very into Muay Thai.
