What you say makes a lot of sense. It would do us all well to seek to ask more questions and seek to understand before reaching for the block button.

On the other hand, we all have limited time and patience for those who are likely arguing in bad faith. I won't fault someone for taking the quick route to defend their time and sanity.

Even if the others may be arguing in good faith, this isn't a court of law here. We don't have to assume EVERYONE is innocent, especially if they're mixed in a crowd of hecklers. Each person has the option of using the block functionality as an automatic way to ignore sets of people, even if it catches the innocent.
Yeah but you're comparing a 95 Watt 2500k Desktop CPU to a 6 Watt N4020 Celeron laptop CPU.

It's really not a fair comparison.

If you want to cite more recent cheap laptop CPUs against a 95 Watt desktop CPU, maybe something like Intel Core i5-8265U @ 1.60GHz would be a better example. It's 1.45x faster than the 2500k and consumes only 15 watts, in a $270 Dell laptop.

The biggest issue for me is people using kafka for mqtt, mqtt is a pub/sub broker already. The other issue is thinking of Kafka as some kind of “innovative” data ingestion tool, so now instead of 50 extract jobs per day, you got to reconcile millions of events in realtime. I think message brokers make sense, but they are message brokers, nothing else, no?

The extremely detailed mapping of drinking water on OSM that the OP alludes to, is more helpful than you assume. If you are cycling or hiking in baking-hot Southern Europe, or wandering through some picturesque villages, there are often springs hidden just off the trail that most people would never spot, if the map didn’t alert people to their presence. Also, with OSM one doesn’t need to be “chronically online” and use a “web service”, because various apps allow using OSM fully offline.
Not really true. It depends on how you do your CGI, if you have a setup with camera tracking and a 3D compositing pipeline as well as some sort of particle system for the dynamics, you could produce an infinite amount of VFX. It really depends on the specifics of how you set it up.
So that if I wish to pay cash for shipping it's because I'm a leech and/or a sheep? I haven't used the machines since they went credit card only.
> I'm very open to that debate, but then show it. Exclude the drivers from the numbers. To do otherwise feels very dishonest.

You can ask for numbers without casting aspersions like that.

This is HN. It is something like a casual conversation. You are free to ask for numbers, other people are free to provide or not provide them, and we should be able to have this conversation without leveling accusations of dishonesty (which the word “feels” does not really temper).
> It’s the software layer from AWS that made it “The Cloud”

That's one way of looking at it, but no one would have used that software if OP had done a sloppy job with the electrical system.

I'm sure there was plenty of boilerplate code in that software (and some very innovative code) and plenty of sophisticated work done to create the physical datacenter.
depending on where, that could be significant [1]

Possibly a garden - growing lesser known varieties of fruits can veggies is something I find interesting.

Or maybe making a traditional bow. Identifying types of wood, reading the grain, and turning it into a bow is interesting. I think most people have this concept that wood is this rigid thing, but seeing a traditional bow on a tillering tree is something else.
That sounds like a automation problem. If you have an office dealing with UBI and unemployment in your neighborhood, the government can literally know their customer. The more people unemployed, the easier it will be to staff them.

These people are pretending they're fighting fraud, when instead they're trying to reinvent government responsibilities/campaigns as passive income sources for 3rd party rent-seekers. Uber for welfare.

Everything is a mess, but it’s not fun to think about, so we don’t.

And then if we do stop to look closely and think about it, we are surprised to see how messy things are.

Still, things are rarely as bad as they seem. We are resilient and adaptable, often far more than we realize, and can get quite far on very little.

The unthinkable happens, yet life goes on. Joy is found in the smallest of places.

Sometimes what seems like an unsolvable disaster just needs one little variable to change and all of the sudden it isn’t so scary and impossible.

Life is full of paradoxes and complex half-truths :)
Kagi did an evaluation a while back: https://blog.kagi.com/kagi-ai-search
how different is the Hurd driver model from Linux's? is it a straightforward but tedious process to port drivers, or does it require major rethinking? I wonder if machine translation is possible, or even LLM-assisted automatic ports as a starting point. disastrous to think about, as careful as kernel code has to be, but maybe with enough static analysis and guardrails it's doable?
I used to defend crypto a lot (now just a little). Especially the UBI attempts. But no.

World coin has always looked like a thinly veiled attempt to generate a biometric dataset which would later be used against its users.

I just don't know who its audience was supposed to be. If you're suspicious enough of fiat to want this kind of escape hatch, how can you simultaneously be trusting enough to embrace a system that relies on biometrics and allegedly trustworthy hardware?
This assumes too much about Jordan's psychology. Yes, he was aware that a great deal of money was riding on his image, and he was could be very shrewd and even his cynical when it came to business, viz., his remark that "Republicans buy sneakers, too." But this picture of Jordan as ruthless utility-maximizer and PR savant doesn't square with other things he's done, such as the raw spectacle he made of himself in his Hall of Fame induction speech. The man does not think like normal people.
The hardware will absolutely still be useable. The hardware quality bar is very very high.

Our app usability sucked then (and still does now), but plenty of our products met and exceeded ten or fifteen year lifetimes.

One of the biggest issues we faced when I was there was trying to support devices shipped in 2002 that didn't have enough RAM to run features being shipped in 2016! Newer products shouldn't have that issue. They ship with tooooons of RAM for fear of that situation popping up again.

I'm going largely by memory but when the U.S. expanded copyright at one point they actually took some stuff out of the public domain. You can look it up but the current formula is authors life plus 70 and a different formula for corporate works, and when they expanded it most recently there were actually some public domain works that become not public domain retroactively. (A quick google search reveals the 1976 Act added 19 years to the terms of existing copyrights, this might be what I'm thinking of-- in other words some works that had copyright expired then had them renewed and removed from the public domain.)

There's also copyright reversion, which is a related new provision that applied to older copyrighted works. Quoting from an article I just pulled up

"...the 1976 Act created a new right allowing authors and their heirs to terminate a prior grant of copyright, the Act also set forth specific steps concerning the timing and contents of the termination notice that must be served in order to effectuate termination. The termination of a grant may be effective “at any time during a period of five years beginning of the end of 56 years from the date the copyright was originally secured”..."

But this is a red herring because the fact a model has been trained in the past doesn't mean a copyright lawsuit is "retroactive". The infringement would presumably be occuring anew every day you make it available on your web site.
Not since March.

It’s a little better. To be useful someone else has to use the same hashing algorithm. Assuming the hash isn’t usefully reversible.

How is this published? On a single server somewhere? What country would you put it in? A friendly one I hope. Also one that won't block access to other countries that it might have petty disagreements with in the future. It might be a good idea for it to be replicated across a number of servers across the internet. We call those "nodes" in the blockchain space.
I also built a kayak (in the 70s)! I forget the details, but I think the plans were obtained by a friend of mine, and we each built our own boats. There was a wooden frame with a canvas skin. We used airplane dope to make the skin waterproof. It lasted around 2 years of fairly steady use in the nearby American River, with no maintenance whatsoever.
Tech hasn’t “burned through social capital”. The media has shifted from being positive/neutral regarding tech to actively hostile, mainly because tech has been increasingly approaching their turf.

Anyone have any idea what the deal is with California's new:

The 55 MPH Speed Limit Will Be Enforced

dynamic signs?

If I get a speeding ticket, can I just argue that the sign's use of the future tense clearly indicates the lowered speed limit doesn't apply yet?
I have experimented with something similar by embedding an entire Rust Axum server in a service worker.

> So is it for beginners or power users? Or can that be the same person?

Reasonable and good question. I tend to see that as orthogonal (but with some overlap) as "power user" is more of a mindset to me.
> Yeah, if I talk to a 'normie' and explain that chatGPT and OpenAI are nefariously plotting regulatory capture most will roll their eyes at me.

You are supposed to preface it with how Altman is making AI services, selling them as AGI, and also painting AGI as a danger to the survival of humanity. Then, when they are baffled at why someone would sell something while describing it that way, you can walk them through regulatory capture and erecting barriers to competition.
The rest of your comment, I agree with but:

> That tells anyone reading exactly what they need to know and the message highlighting an improvement contains a simple reward message

Do they need to know it though? Is someone going to see that, and adjust what they're doing because numbers are trending up? It seems unlikely.

If you have to show something, how about a standard caution sign that says "elevated accident zone"? It conveys everything that /might/ be helpful, is highly relevant to the specific area the driver is in, and does not require critical thinking (numbers up? numbers down? how does this affect me? Is it for this spot, or all of Texas?). Caution signs are also taught as part of driver's ed as warning of road hazards - deer crossing, falling rocks, etc.
I think the CD-ROMs at archive.org are your best bet. (Spent some time looking for a functioning ftp mirror a while back and failed.)

I meant the LLM weights are not publicly available in the case of ØpenAI, so whatever you contribute to it will be locked up, just like SO locked up their user-generated data.

I'm not saying it's not a big deal, I'm saying it hasn't gotten much scrutiny, at least relative to comparable innovations in the past. E.g. when airports introduced body scanners, Jeffrey Rosen wrote an entire book about this called The Naked Crowd. Where's the equivalent scrutiny for iris scanners?

Right. It stopped being a useful optimization decades ago.

One of the few architectural mistakes von Neumann made back in 1945 is that he didn't think of index registers. He was addressing arrays by storing into the address part of instructions. By 1949, the index register (the "B Box") had been invented, and storing into instructions was mostly obsolete.
What is the best way to measure electronically the "feels like" temperature then, if air temperature is not a good metric?

I'd like to hack my thermostat and heating system to maintain the same temperature inside year round, but as the article explains, the air temperature sensors are pretty much useless to determine how hot or cold it feels.

Go ahead and try it, then let me know how it works out for you.
We are still going to have to work with people who had no qualms about working for five different breeds of charlatan. Some of them two or three breeds at once.

I once was contract to hire at a place that was skeevy. The management team was horrible and abusive, the most senior developer was defensive and cagey.

I said no because of the management situation, but I also wasn't happy that the putative lead had a side hustle that involved driving around the city looking for cell towers that would let him get away with sending spam SMS messages.

My current job, he and another person from that company were working for someone in the same building as us. They didn't seem to recognize me, and I wasn't going to remind them who I was.

What hurt the worst though was that I was replacing someone from the local community who I had a lot of respect for who recommended me for this role. He basically created a giant goodwill bonfire and lit up the night sky.
It's pie in the sky. UBI could be worked towards today in many different ways without involving crypto. The idea of US tech people offering UBI to people in one of the most heavily exploited parts of the world as a way to get them to turn over biometric data is gross.
I have yet to use a linux desktop which has working drag-and-drop. When you drag a file or file path from the file explorer and drop into the command prompt, it's supposed to put the file path there. Also, I shouldn't have to hold down twelve modifier keys to move a file from one place to another. I should be able to drag a file to a segment of the file path in the file explorer and have it move to that directory level.
The other comment is right, that Sam Altman is not the CEO. The CEO is Alex Blania.

And he did say that they were dampening the volatility of the price for WLD (together with the help of market makers, etc. I would guess?).
> As for cases, DnD changed thier "races" in response to violations raised in court iirc. They pushed right to the line as close as possible and that was long before we reached modern IP law which is exceedingly more stringent than back in the 80s, right?

Yes. They also go after orgs that were printing commemorative coins and succeeded. In this instance, they went after TSR for straight ripping things for their game.

That still doesn't address what I was referring to, however. I haven't seen any push by the Tolkien Society to go after this alleged "stealing" of Tolkien's ideas through the inclusion of Tolkien-distinct elves (and they are very distinct from their source, as you pointed out) or other species.

Which is interesting, because they Tolkien Society actually has the audacity to claim you're not allowed to write fanfiction:

"[...]This means that you cannot copy any part of Tolkien’s writings or images, nor can you create materials which refer to the characters, stories, places, events or other elements contained in any of Tolkien’s works."

Aside from being so absolutely full of themselves, they still aren't engaging in attempting to stop authors from "stealing".

Because they have no legal basis for it and know it.

Because it's not actually "stealing" when authors adopt them into their worlds if they're not, as you said, taking names, culture, [and] historical features. There's no legal grounds and they know it.

The Tolkien Estate recently rewrote their "rules" in the last couple years, reflecting a much-stronger stance on derivative works. And yet, I don't think you'll be able to show me many instances of them "protecting their IP" against authors.

I've looked.

Likewise. I think moving my whole life to Linux has also benefitted my career greatly.

The code blocks need to be run in sequence, from top-down, as one builds on the next. The "metadata" at the very top often describes the project and its dependencies.
Crucial among them is the ability to combine googling and experimenting to get solid answers without having to go full monty on the framework/library/API that you are need to have work in a certain way. And knowing when to do that quick shallow hack vs. starting to step into the code in depth, and when to read the fine manual, or even, heavens above, to sign up for training/conventions/etc. on the ecosystem.

When I was in high school, I chose to take standard-level IB math instead of higher-level IB math. The standard-level math focused on probability and combinatorics, whereas higher-level was focused on calculus (you had to take calculus first).

I appreciate the opportunity to have learned about these other subjects, which are arguably more useful in everyday life (and I went on to be a lawyer and a startup founder, where advanced calculus would not have been especially useful). It also meant my schedule was somewhat easier, since the standard-level class was not as challenging, and I was more mature by the time I took calc AB as a senior. I'm glad my parents realized that getting as far down the calculus path as possible was not the only goal, and suggested this path for me.
