If I'm honest, I don't know if I like programming or I just like using Vim. Thanks for everything Bram.
Twitter is fine. Make an account and look at 1 or 2 ads so you can message the companies you want. You work in tech right? How do you keep the lights on? From people paying to use your software.

Look at 1 or 2 ads so the company can stay afloat with lights on and enjoy messaging your companies.

You can do all that stuff like look at previous tweets to companies from the twitter search bar. Though I admit it is harder to do on mobile because of screen real estate

Thank you Bram for writing, maintaining, and improving vim over all these years.
One thing that happens when you learn to build web things using React before learning html, is that you don't care about links.

When I joined my team, all links were buttons, random elements, or <a> with onClick. Nobody complained, but that meant ctrl click was useless, right click did not give you the options you wanted.

This is the only thing I'm a dictator about. There is zero room for negotiation when it comes to links.
I tried meetups and, while the events are sometimes entertaining, they are too sparse. There isn't the element of seeing a person constantly and the times I tried reaching someone to get to know them better they usually are too busy yada yada. God, I miss meeting tech people and discussing nerdy things.
Regarding Arc, I agree, the drivers were a nightmare at release, but I'm fairly confident that was just a very rushed release because arc was already way behind schedule, and things will get better. The old UHD i915 drivers were (are) pretty solid, let's hope that's where Arc is aimed at, plus maybe all those gaming-focused bells and whistles as an optional feature.
Is it worst because it's legal?
They mean that an environment can always provide a fake version of a function to a webassembly program. They’re defining an API but there’s no requirement to implement it.

It seems like a rather weak specification where nothing is required to work? But at least it defines an interface. You might compare it to Go or Java interface types.
Seems like a rhetorical question that intentionally ignores the overall premise without adding value.

This is a great example when it comes to trying to understand the epistemological limits of AI. People inherently fall back on an argument that presumes the human mind works like a neural network.

There's an interesting theory that I've never been able to identify the origins of, that humans like to think that we created technology from needs based on our models of the world, whereas we ignore the effects of daily technology on our thinking frameworks. The argument essentially states that we never "discovered" the circulatory system of the heart or "discovered" it works like a pump and valves, rather instead right around the same time this theoretical work was being investigated on the heart is when the industrial revolution was in full swing. Thus, we modelled the heart as pumps and valves because that's the technology we were surrounded by. The heart isn't somehow inherently a "pump" and we "discovered" that, we just started using the pump metaphor because it seemed to help do other things. I'm sure though that the metaphor has it limits.

Typically, the narrative around the invention of machine learning models is that we started coding computers to be more like recently "discovered" models of the brain.

Under this theory its the opposite. Right as cognitive sciences started developing as a novel field of research is when we developed computers. So, in classic form we decomposed the brain in atomic fashion, and the 'atoms' of measurement we chose to use ended up being bits and bytes.

Distinguishing between inventing "novel" things and gobbledygook is completely subjective and based on the viewer's own models. It's proving these abilities after the fact, not before it. Thousand monkeys on typewriters etc.

This measurement of "accuracy" is completely forgetting everything that Kuhn discovered about scientific knowledge. If you've got a community of like 3 people who research some incredibly esoteric scientific field, only those 3 people could ever accurately judge the full extent of their domain. A model could generate a series of tokens that for the rest of the world is gobbledygook, but to these 3 scientists it makes perfect sense. This doesn't really endeavour me to believe that there's anything "novel" about what AI "predicts". It just throws out enough combinations and we conveniently ignore the huge gaps when its wrong, but then jump up and down excitedly when it's "right" (as if its discovered some universal material objective truth).
This is crazy. If it wasn't HP I wouldn't believe this. If you just consider this as a pure cold market strategy, I still don't think this makes sense. Sometimes it makes sense to trade in goodwill for cash, or otherwise use market power to bully users. However, HP has totally destroyed their brand EVERYWHERE, who would ever buy one of these printers? DRM printing, additional apps, misrepresenting ink reserves. Not to mention, obviously printing is in decline for most people. What is the steelman that makes sense here? People just wont care and they keep making money?
of course they will. keyword here is "infringing websites" which means there is such a thing as "illegal information" and that law enforcement must prevent you from accessing that information

I think the idea was that when dealing with UI elements where it can be unclear what even is a UI element, it's easier to shape user behavior. e.g. making it harder for the user to "opt out of all tracking".

Near term, if something goes wrong with those probes, they're a lot easier to fix when humans are lightseconds or lightmilliseconds away than when they're lightminutes or lighthours away - and human personnel can typically do the job better and easier anyway if they're present.

Medium term, moving as much industry as possible off of Earth is a vital release valve for mitigating our destruction of Earth's biosphere. No other celestial body (to our current knowledge) has any biosphere whatsoever, and only a small number could even hypothetically support one. Strip-mining the Moon or Mars or Ceres or the umpteen-bajillion asteroids and gas giant moons entails no demolition of rain forests, no extinctions of animal species, no displacement of indigenous peoples.

Long term, moving as many humans as possible off Earth permanently resolves the risk of us destroying it. The end-game is for Earth to be a preserve, allowed to heal from the wounds we've inflicted upon it over the centuries.

Landlords are the reason housing is unaffordable, but in a world without landlords if homeownership is out of reach for a segment of the population there should be public housing to accommodate that need.
The problem with this is scale and cost. We essentially need to unburn all the coal and oil were burnt in the last hundred years or so. That gigantic amounts of mass.

I live in a bedroom suburb that is known for its thick tree cover. It was one of the driving factors for me to move here, as well as the fact our area is significantly cooler than the nearby city.

There is a constant battle where retirees who have moved out here want to cut down all the trees because they are “a nuisance.”
That’s quite young, what a shame - Vim is amazing.
Yes, I realize that. There are Plex apps for everything. But then you have to worry about your Plex server being up, people’s upstream bandwidth is usually piss poor since most people have cable. On top of that if your device doesn’t support the same format that you encoded it in, the Plex server has to transcode.

That both limits the quality and puts more load on the server limiting the number of simultaneous streams.

Not to mention when torrenting you have to troll/trawl [1] the internet for a good high quality rips.

Or just using streaming service.

Interesting. So like how many axons? If you connect to all the axons on both ends and make the stimulation programmable then you could adjust simulation of the axons across the bridge. But I'm guessing we're talking a lot of axons.

> Is everything traditional automatically wrong and everything modern automatically right?

How did you get this? The point of a fallacy is that the conclusion does not follow, not that "the inverse is correct". Just because something is traditional does not mean it is right, though it can be. Just because something is not traditional does not mean it is wrong, though it can be. Capitalism wasn't traditional, turned out to be a good idea. Not-murdering-people is traditional, and a pretty good one to follow.

> You got all this from the poster you replied to? It sure seem you are doing a lot of projecting and straw man building.

Yes, most people use modern birth control (e.g., condoms). It is a reasonable assumption to make.

Pay attention to the deeper point being made: effective birth control has not been available for all those thousands of years of "tradition". Why do you think premarital sex has been taboo for so long? Because until recently, that was a really good way to create unstable, broken families.

The article is all hype.[1] The paper isn't much better. There's a bullshit "Significance" section at the top. Most of the "references" are to generic papers about energy.

Guess he is against private ownership of public infrastructure, because of what experience has shown. Invariably, there is persistent underinvestment to increase short-term profit, and once the physical plant is so run down that it plainly can't function any longer, it is renationalized at great loss to the public.

The current model has led to a persistent underinvestment in housing, especially entry-level housing since at least the late 1990's.

And some tenants are sucky too. Courts are backed up for evictions due to non payment of rent too.
> This is not the role of the police. Their role is solely punishment and deterrence.

Wrong. The role of the police is to enforce the law.

If the law says you are not allowed to be in possession of certain substances that you are in possession of, then you have committed a crime and the police can arrest you for it. End of story.

> Passing a law against drug use is pre-crime when the only real justification for the law is to prevent other crimes.

It is not pre-crime. By definition, pre-crime is arresting someone before breaking the law. If possession/use is illegal and you do either of those things, you have committed a crime.

I repeat: You have already committed a crime if you use/possess illegal drugs. It cannot be pre-crime in such a scenario.

Also, it's perfectly reasonable and practical to make something illegal because it leads to other (more damaging) actions.
Setting aside the needless dig, if you agree that there is utility in some patents, consider now that LK 99 could be example of a whole group or class of compounds, with thousands of permutations that requires significant work to discover, refine, and industrialize. If the compound needs an additive to be able to be manufactured at scale, should that also be unpatentable?

What about the scientist who spent 23 years to develop lk99? There's a lot of solutions within the existing patent system. If governments wanted, they could simply offer them a stupid amount of money for the patent and open source it.
I'm pretty sure sure pirate-bay is an onion site exposed via a cloudflare gateway. You can use the onion service directly (and presumably through whichever gateway you want).
So 45 cubic meters for 10KW/h means roughly 100 tons concrete. A Tesla power wall with a little more capacity has a weight of maybe 130kg. So roughly a factor of 1000 less capacity.

You can comment on that other story, as I and many others have done already.

Otherwise we could have many stories about Bram on the frontpage. Like many, I am sad about this news, and it's nice to see that Bram's exceptional contributions are being recognized and celebrated, but it also doesn't need to completely take over the HN frontpage.

(Also, this specific story doesn't even have that much additional information: it just repeats the mailing list message with a bit more details like his age.)
I suffer from brain-fog related to chronic fatigue. Getting about 20 mins sleep in the day is a fantastic recharge. Any more I find I don't sleep at night. I set a 30 min timer, 10 mins to drop off.
I'm totally in favor of a vacancy tax, every city should have them. Dude is like, "People are just leaving to live cheaper elsewhere, we can't fill these units!". Have you tried lowering the rent? Of course not.
Your anecdote doesn't do anything whatsoever to justify your claim that most landlords are not like that at all.
> We already know that classical mechanics is non-physical. This result (and others) show that it is not even internally consistent— that is, you shouldn’t need any empirical evidence to know that there’s something else going on.

I don’t think this is a right approach. We already know that no theory is complete and perfect, so we can say the same thing about any theory. Even worse than that, we can make the philosophical point that any theory, being conceived within our limited brains, physically cannot be anything other than models and approximations. The logical conclusion of this argument is then that we should throw our hands in the air and stop discussing anything.

It’s also wrong in this case specifically because there is absolutely no reason why this thought experiment cannot be proven or disproven within Newtonian mechanics.

Stephen Hawking would have failed this test.
I really like this approach even though it's antithetical to the way medical technology is structured right now. Basically medical device companies and drug companies just want to manufacture something and hold a patent for 20 years and whatever they can get for extended.

The described approach is a lot more like programming where you have a whole bunch of skilled professionals working together to solve specific bespoke problems because cancer is actually thousands of diseases depending on the gene expression and underlying genetics.

So I really like this approach. I hope it gets formalized and scaled to some degree outside of the auspices of the drug companies who just want to patent squat

I also don't know if the FDA is equipped for it because it sounds like cuz we're going to get specifically tailored drugs or other vectors individualized but how do you test that in a way that the FDA typically does?

Of course, this is what I expected to see when you claim far right content isn't a problem. You are severely biased to think that The Donald was anything other than a cesspool of radicalism. The dude has been a lifelong con man. He was an utter failure (and traitor) as a president, as was obvious from the start.

Reddit is full of whatever a dogwhistle becomes when everyone can hear it. Just whistles, I suppose. It is shockingly easy to find racists commenting about IQ and 13/50 bullshit in any subreddit that isn't actively moderating against that, let alone one that encourages it like the Donald.

How much of the "novel ways which have never been considered before" is just the novelty effect of having your very own artist? A human being could certainly produce any of the works of Dall-E 2, given the same prompt. The change here is the cost, and not the capability. Of course, this is still significant, but it doesn't suggest to me that Dall-E 2 "thinks" differently or would be able to seriously alter the nature of our cognition, except to the extent that it allows us to realize the same ideas faster.
Technically it can do in-context learning (and really well, too), but that's not persisted into the network.
For the landloard to make money your rent is higher than what it takes to 'own' the land, usually in the form of a mortgage.

Otherwise its almost always a second (or third) plot that is outrightly owned by the landlord, which means they dont need it and itd be better for you to just be able to buy it.

Also the even better answer is public housing.
The whole point is that Newtonian mechanics doesn't uniquely predict the motion of the ideal ball on that ideal shape. The ball could stay there forever, but it could also start moving down along the shape at any point in time - both are valid possibilities in the idealized model. This is the unintuitive part.
