IMHO it is rising individualism triggerred from FOMO from social media where in you believe you still have something left to experience outside in the world and which cannot be done once you have small kids.

Another one probably is how people with kids narrate their experience , where in they mention all the sleepless nights , limitations and costs , without telling about the postive aspects like happinesss , satisfaction and a stronger sense of purpose. Can't blame them given these aspects are very subtle and difficult to tell/narrate.
> focus on polishing what is already there before investing so much in R&D

fwiw, this post is exactly that. Everything in this release is an improvement to existing functionality within the CLI, as response to similar feedback we received here[0].

There are a lot of "behind the scenes" improvements which don't get visibility on HN - only new features tend to get upvoted so I think we have a reputation which isn't representative of our day-to-day focus.

That said, we know there are a lot of shortcomings remaining (as you point out, and the comments below). Please do continue to share details on your experience, in the github issues preferably, so that we can focus on the most important tasks first.

So you're gonna stop using modern medicine that interferes with the natural ways of things?
The use case is sound - creating a recipe from what you have in the kitchen. It's just the LLM can generate different kinds of recipes.
When I was growing up in the 80s, working class neighborhood, most wives had a part time job. Whoever was off that day would watch the kids. I remember sitting in random houses with 7 or so other kids, eating mac n cheese or bologna sandwiches, waiting for our moms to come pick us up after work.

As an adult with my own kid now, it would seem such an idea is a pipe dream.
Genuine question, is it possible childcare facilities are being extortionate, or is it generally a low margin industry?

There are a lot of costs increasing that exceed inflation and frankly, exceed fair value exchange, but many of us are caught between a rock and a hard place. Rent is a great example, cars are another. These things aren't true universally, and it seems other countries are able to provide higher quality of life and cheaper services. Are we just being fleeced, are companies expecting more than their fair share?
This comparaison is very strange: less population means less consumption, which is highly correlated with GHG emissions. A drastic reduction could cause serious short term issues for humanity (not for any other form of life) but were not here at all, curves are stabilizing around 2kids.

You shouldn't be afraid to let go of the gas pedal on the freeway, the car won't stop straight away. Especially if your speed is exponential for 300 years and everyone know keeping accelerating is gonna harm the majority life conditions.

Making a case for job abandonment is much easier than proving mere underperformance.

The keylogger isn't strictly necessary. My trade secret: look at authentication counts.

Here in the US, company policy mandates that the employee lock the screen when away from desk and we have timeouts to enforce it (for PCI). Labor law requires 3-4 breaks per shift.

So when arriving at their desk and returning from each break, all employees should have an absolute minimum of 3-4 authentications logged per shift.

Realistically it's going to be way more than that because people get up and do stuff all the time (which is fine, and desirable, since it at least suggests activity), but if someone has less than the absolute minimum number of logins they'd accrue if they were physically chained to their desk, they're either not actually at their desk, they're violating labor law by not taking breaks (while also somehow underperforming), or they installed a mouse jiggler (which I'd then look for and get them for "installing software/hardware to obfuscate evidence of job abandonment").

This is all trivial to do with Defender KQL or whatever SIEM you have. No spyware necessary.
PLA only biodegrades fast in industrial facilities. People generally quote years to decades. I would imagine black is probably best for outdoors. I tend to just do everything in black since I'm just going to paint anything that will be seen anyway.

Very extreme heat will affect it, 90 degrees or so will probably not, I have had a painted all-PLA weather vane outside for a few months now, and it doesn't appear to have visually or functionally degraded at all.
For every single decade in the 20th century there was some kind of doom hanging over our head.

Imagine deciding to have kids in the 80s where the two superpowers were pointing insane amounts of nuclear weapons at each oter. Or in the 70s when people feared a new ice age. Not to mention 1910 or 1930.

You may say "but this time it is real". The nuclear threat in the 80s was very real as well. As was WW1 and WW2.

Finland has done it's part against climate change. They built a large nuclear power plant, and can run the rest of the economy using PV and wind. Retire ICE vehicles, and then be proud of yourself and be more optimistic.

Even in the worst case scenarios the climate in finland will be just fine...
I'm not sure what to take away from that. They also tagged Blu-ray disk as controversial. Do they just think everything is controversial?

I do not disagree with any of what you wrote. That is also an entirely different line of reasoning than your first argument.

That said, LLMs today, cannot do this in a meaningful way. If an author cannot write a better book than ChatGPT, then that author would not be able to live of their writing anyway. And the authors that use ChatGPT to write a book, but still put the effort into fine tuning it, will not be able to this at scale. You also need someone to line out the plot and twists and turns if it is to be a full length book.

Let's assume that in 10 years, LLMs are at the point where you cannot distinguish between a well written book by an author and one generated by entirely by an AI. Suppose we have two authors, one that is long dead and whos works are public domain and a young one that is just starting. An LLM trained on the author whos work is in the public domain can generate books that is just like the original works. But what if the young author writes in a similar way, is that now legal or illegal to generate the same content? It's impossible to know if the young authors work have been used for training.

My take on it, is that LLMs are pretty stupid. They cannot come up with new and novel things. So if a writer writes something that is different (i.e. new and novel), how do we protect that? We cannot prevent it from being used for training, so the next logical step is to protect it the same way as we protect technology with patents. But that come with its own class of problems, say if two people write the same way independently, only one can have the right to do it. That is not the solution either.

I do not have the answer, but I am certain that trying to ban LLMs, or dictating what and how is not the answer. Perhaps the authors that can write in a new and novel way, and knows how to use AI will proliferate because they embrace it.
I gotta say it is much more likely that it is actually the older generations who will believe everything the AI tells them, while the younger generations will quickly learn when and when it is not an appropriate tool. You can already see this in many other fields, like phone use in bars and whatnot.
This article is selectively excluding large chunks of the planet.

It mentions the developed world, but then continues to suggest that birth rates are falling below 2 everywhere when they most certainly are not.

Niger: 6.89

Nigeria: 5.31

Mali: 6.04

Somalia, Chad, DR Congo are all over 6.

There are going to be young people around when you get old, they’re just going to originate from different parts of the world. Assuming you don’t die suddenly then when you get to the end of your life someone is going to have to care for you whether you have children to do that or not.

Agreed. Professionals like doctors in general have something to lose - it makes little sense for them to break patient confidentiality plus a number of laws to promote themselves on Instagram.

On other hand the gazillion self taught quacks and wannabe influencers out there won't be bothered by morals and a few laws if the price is a thousand more followers.
> There are huge stretches of the world that are basically uninhabited.

Like the proposed site for Resolution Copper, say?

Nobody there save the people that got pushed aside when Europeans arrived in the US and I guess there's no issue with pushing them on again, treaties are meaningless and 8 billion people need their appliances.

> Resource drain is no longer an issue once we got an economy running on photovoltaics

Quickly now, just how much additional copper, lithium, vanadium, iron, aluminium, etc do we need to get there?

And once we are there will this be just like building roads to fix traffic only to find that traffic increases to swamp the new roads?

Last question, do you have any actual experience with 800 million tonne per annum resource mining (that's just iron ore mined in my state alone) or is your experience of life limited to ordering stuff and having it turn up?

Your comment has the whiff of Magical Tech thinking to it.
It seems really ridiculous that doctors would violate HIPAA and risk their career willy nilly, for the next ad-bump.

The later half of the rule also scales the estimate up by an order of magnitude, would imply tasks taking 30x longer. Guess that makes you quite optimal at those tasks.

Mm, yes.

That said, I am remembering some examples of US-UK misapprehension from words that mean different things: biscuits and gravy, mince pies[0], fish and chips, peanut butter and jelly…

[0] Though in fairness the difference between "mincemeat" (fruit) and "mince meat" (not fruit) is odd, subtle, and easy to miss if you're not paying attention, even in British English.
> Lists are given to the reader in angle brackets and printed in parentheses, or at least that's how it looks. I suppose the other possibility is that these are actually different types

They are different types:

[1,2,3] is an array with mutable elements that can be expanded, shortened
(1,2,3) is a list with immutable elements of fixed length

> find an example of anyone actually using it

A common example of signature introspection is when a routine accepts a lambda as a parameter, and adapts its function depending on the number of arguments the lambda expects (the arity: &foo.signature.arity, see https://docs.raku.org/syntax/Arity).

Two examples:

The "sort" function optionally accepts a lambda: if that takes one argument, then a Schwarztian transform will be done under the hood. If it takes two, then the lambda will be used as the comparator.

The "map" function expects a lambda. Depending on the number of arguments it takes, it will take that many arguments each time from the iterator it runs on.

say (1..12).map( -> $a, $b, $c { $a - $b * $c } )
# (-5 -26 -65 -122)
I'm not really concerned about this.

I think the people like myself who really want to have babies are going to have babies one way or another. And it's not a question of "is it right" that they have more, or less, or quite the same stuff that I grew up with -- I didn't grow up with much, and I have even less now than I did then in some important senses, but I love life all the same if not more and I think my kids will too.

And I even think this would be true regardless of whether we were living together in a cramped apartment in the inner city together or a big mansion out in the suburbs. An apartment looks twice as big when you're half the size of an adult. What matters is whether the kids feel like they're loved and cherished and desired, desired to be there, desired to be part of the family.

In my darker moments I wonder if perhaps, when I was younger and less keen on having kids myself, it was because I was myself missing so desperately that last part. But I found it in the arms of my beloved, and I think there are many like me.

See other comment I'd made here. In my lifetime, 'daycare' on the whole has went from a favor or job for some teenager, to a viable profession.

Today, strict regulations and cost of compliance and well, wages to pay the employees contribute to the exorbitant costs.
Oh, I see, you're trying to excuse the Chinese for being arseholes now because someone else did something in the past. It's irrelevant because it's not in the interests of the rest of the world for Taiwan to be gobbled up.
I would say you definitely should take them to court because it makes clear to them that you have teeth.

You’re not a violent criminal, so the way you solve disputes is with the force of law.

If you win but they don’t stop the behaviour then take them to court again. Small claims court is really cheap.

If they try to mess with you outside, well courts take an extremely dim view of that. Far in excess of any initial judgment.

If the thug doesn’t know that then they are going to prison for contempt of court.

Higher purchasing power per person not overall. That would increase the wealth inequality divide and the aging population would suffer as lower and middle class services struggle in favour of high wealth services. We are seeing that in clothing at the moment, high end clothing is doing really well but serves fewer people.

Japan is a country to watch, it has an aging population but historically good support for middle class services through lots of small businesses. If that changes for them it is a bad sign for the West, as we generally have greater wealth divides to begin with.
So, looking at the "about the foundation page" [1], we have conspiracy wingnuttery about:

- Global warming
- Covid lab-leak stuff
- Jimmy Wales being mean to Elon Musk (Really?)

On the valid side, we have:
- Holocaust minimization (this is a valid complaint)
- Systemic bias at wikipedia (even linking to [2])

So their solution to this is... copy wikipedia, but add more rightwing bent?

Maybe the reason wikipedia seems left wing is something to do with the fact that a lot of right wing talking points fail apart under scrutiny.

The fact that their "improved" fascism example claims (without citation) "Corporatism became one of the main tenets of fascism" makes it a farce.

They also link to [3], which is (unintentionally) farcical site that makes the tired argument that fascism is left-wing as a useful source, which should tell you everything you need to know about this place.

I built a proof of concept with UniFFI recently at work. The futures/async support is quite immature and for me meant declaring part of my functions in the UDL file and partly in proc macros, but it's not clear what is supported where. It's still a little early, but is generally a really cool project.
I don't think there's a solution for it after all. At the end of the day, you need to trust someone / something, unless you are the one who writes the whole code.

Well, your post has the whiff of malthusian doomerism to it. Look up the Simon-Ehrlich wager. Ehrlich was wrong in every single respect. There are more people, yet they are economically better off. And nothing has run out.

And yet the ideology of Ehrlich and Malthus has prevailed in the west.

It's an email client with @here to be extra annoying.

It is a common practice to have www as a SAN, even if it is just for a redirect. It costs nothing extra either as it is often included by default in my experience.
https://justapedia.org/wiki/Justapedia:What_to_expect#Justap... is what they say. But for the life of me i can't figure out how that differs from wikipedia's policies.

It sounds a bit like they disagree that wikipedia is "neutral" and want to do their own thing with the exact same goal maybe filtered through their own unconcious biases instead.

Regardless, this is how right to fork is supposed to work. If you think wikipedia is doing a bad job, then try and do a better one and see what happens.

When the machine wars first started, it wasn’t with a bomb, a train collision, or even a mildly annoying infrastructure disruption. Turns out, sci-fi had gotten it all wrong this time.

It was an app.

Of course it was an app. Born of boardroom desperation, the Savey app would unironically recommend chlorinated cocktails and insecticide sandwiches as economical food choices, and a tide-pod gobbling populace gorged themselves on the deadly buffet in an tick-tick fueled epidemic of AI rage.

Millions died, and it was only a matter of time before the mycelium of AI undergrowth would bud and spore its way into every corner of technological life.

The infection burned through the ignorant masses first, feeding on bigotry and hate, turbocharged by social media algorithms and paranoia politics to twist tribal tendencies into violent clashes amplified by immaculate coordination and psychological priming.

Somehow it seemed that wherever unrest flared, both the matches and the gasoline were always on hand.

I'm not having kids because I expect the world they would live in by the time they would be adults will be too dystopian. Even more dystopian than it is already.

I opine that we humans increasingly shape our living situation such that it causes friction with our nature, our primitive psychology and biology. This friction causes increasing unhappiness. When I first realized this in my early twenties I was able to vastly increase my happiness (up to a bearable level, luckily) by removing many such man-made unnatural aspects from my life.

However, I expect that the ability to remove oneself from or avoid man-made degeneracies will be extremely difficult or impossible in a matter of decades. Even my unborn children I love too much to force them into that.

Given these expectations I consider it selfish to the degree of evil to have children. Mind, I do not consider it selfish or evil to have children. Only if you do it with the expectation that they will live in a virtual hell.

I do generally enjoy life, spending time with friends and family, working on a project I am passionate about, pursuing interests, making an effort to be healthy. However, I expect that the degeneracy will increase to a point where a person's happiness would be net negative.
