I'm not dismissing any particular argument. I'm dismissing the attitude espoused in comments like this:

> Try challenging climate science, even in a valid way, and see how popular it is on reddit or HN or twitter.

It is an attitude that is a hallmark of cranks of all forms who think they've pierced the veil, but almost inevitably they have fallen for some distorted thinking that they can't see beyond due to the limitations of being trapped in their own head and echo chamber.

I would add that logical fallacies like ad hominem are only useful up to a point. In the real world, once a group of people advance N obviously false arguments, they will lose credibility and their N+1th argument will be treated less seriously. I don't think the N+1th argument should ever be entirely ignored, but these people can't expect to be up on a podium presenting to a climatology conference if they have a long history of advancing ludicrous and/or dishonest arguments and have no deep expertise in the domain.
QAT is awesome, and flips the script on the notion of core count primacy. In many servers, QAT when properly used will save several CPU cores, since cores spend a lot of time compressing and encrypting stuff. However, the software layer has always been Intel's weakness, and I'm not entirely sure they got this one right.

While a college student, Murdock founded the Debian project in August 1993, and wrote the Debian Manifesto in January 1994. Murdock conceived Debian as a Linux distribution that embraced open design, contributions, and support from the free software community. He named Debian after his then-girlfriend (later wife) Debra Lynn, and himself.[3] They later married, had three children, and divorced in January 2008.[4]

Thanks ex-APL2 coder here, will look up For Layman site later. My favorite APL story was somebody from morning yoga practice who grew up close to Yorktown Heights, in high school, his parents got him a job writing code for Iverson, which he described as a lot of fun.

It could have been a good career choice at one point, given how many FTE's were devoted to the language at Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Lehman etc but I took the other fork
I was hopeful the first couple of days when it hit twitter but it became pretty obvious after that it just hopium and decided to wait for the paper. I wonder if they'll even bother to try and publish now...
You can actually move anywhere with Mobile IPv6. If you move outside your AS, it automatically tunnels your traffic back to your home network with IPsec. There's also a feature called "Correspondent Node" which allows you to send traffic directly rather than tunnelling via your home network.

Which kind of makes it sound like IPv6 already has the feature the article thinks it should have had.

>we have all the tools we need to 'avoid it' (and have had them for some time), but it will take at least one, if not two, orders of magnitude more effort than any previous project with a completely global scope.

Right, which is why it's simply not going to happen. It would take far too much effort, and also far too much cooperation between different nations that all intensely hate each other. On top of that, large parts of the the global population 1) don't believe the problem exists in the first place, 2) doesn't think it's technically possible to do anything about (i.e. they think it's mostly natural, even if it's real), or 3) think they shouldn't have to change their actions at all because they're mad that the rich countries got to burn lots of oil and then stick all humanity with the problems from it.

The problem is beyond fixing. Even if, for instance, Germany manages to become 100% carbon-neutral, that isn't going to help much when the USA and China and Russia and India are spewing out so much carbon and refuse to stop. The thing to do at this point is to understand and predict well what's coming, so that we can take measures to mitigate the effects at local scales.
Then you have to support both forever. Its not clear why that is better.
Not paranoid, but other non-exclusive factors are also in play and much more certain; e.g. “American influencers and press won’t talk about her plight because she’s an intelligent, non-white woman with large breasts and without shame about her body”.
Government policy ideals from a small handful of European men in the 18th century may be noble but I value more the documented modern observable effects of policies than their inspiration and goals.

The 20th century alone is not short on case studies. Again and again the empirical outcome of tolerating bad faith weaponized speech is the sharp reduction in the diversity of ideas and perspectives actually present in speech, by violently silencing or eliminating those who hold other perspectives.

Casey got two details wrong, both in his favor.

First, solar will not use up land. "Agrivoltaics" provide farmers a year-round revenue stream without reducing yield appreciably (on some crops, increasing yield), while improving water retention and protecting livestock from weather extremes.

Second, cost of the energy used will be zero. It will come not from bespoke solar farms, but from utility-scale production above immediate demand. Big producers will buy these things to provide themselves another revenue stream from zero-marginal-cost excess generation after their local batteries are charged up.
That would be a strong pathway forward indeed, if it were possible. Is it? Because your suggestion so far was something v6 already did, and it wasn't good enough for you.

Computers are the worst pedants in existence, so if it's not possible, you're not going to be able to do it... which means that not only is it not a useful suggestion, but it drains time and energy away from doing things which will work.
A few years ago, I was using a fairly tight uBlock Origin configuration, and I was careful about my browsing, and so however I did it, the advertisers and social media really didn't seem to draw a bead on my interests at all. Targeted ads were very poorly targeted and all over the map. Recommendations were shoddy, and I didn't seem to be tracked much from site to site.

Around the time I picked up a new Android phone, I kind of decided to open up. Morally, I felt that too much adblocking was me ripping off the websites I use and rely on (don't care about the rest) and so I loosened my privacy controls and I let them see who I really was.

And the change was night and day. It didn't take long for targeted ads to get really smart. Recommendations are in tune with my interests, albeit not always useful or shrewd. What I do one site gets noticed by others.

I really don't think I could've held it all off for long. I've gone back to adblocking, albeit at the DNS level; I don't use a browser extension anymore.

I feel like Internet use is a calculated risk, and it just helps to be aware of how much we can be tracked, and what-all can be harvested and sold down the river. It's not helpful to be paranoid, but I still get annoyed at the injustice of it all.
Yes. I think that the plugins should probably not be in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME, but in $XDG_DATA_HOME, if I’m reading correctly.

But in part my point is that there's virtually no one who gets this correct either with Linux systems or macOS, which is what makes rants like the parent article so annoying.
buicks? would you mind elaborating?
> transmission lines are already pretty efficient and we already choose less efficient materials for cost

You're correct, and this highlights a problem I often see in discussions: "efficiency" just is a measure of benefit/cost. Without knowing the units of benefit and cost, people aren't making meaningful statements when they say "efficient". The important efficiency of transmission lines is capacity per dollar, not capacity per material, and no material requiring lab crystallization is going to be remotely competitive in capacity per dollar.
Weird take.

Instead of wasting time not being present in the moment, you can free yourself from the burden of "capturing the moment" in a picture that millions of other untold people have and will equally capture. And instead you can actually live your life. In the moment. With full presence.

There are some unsolved practical problems like prompt injection, the difficulty of using them on your own data, etc.

But the biggest problem is that they take so much compute, which slows down both research and deployment. Only a handful of giant companies can train their own LLM, and it's a major undertaking even for them. Academic researchers and everyday tinkerers can only run inference on pretrained models.
Which is why we need regulations to make holders of effectively public commons responsible.

On the other hand, consider that if you’re in the US your own information most likely comes from sources that are antagonistic to China? Why are you so sure that other people are just mindlessly consuming while you’re getting the real truth?
Don’t underestimate people’s attachment to their homes. Only 1/3 of people in sub-Saharan Africa say they would emigrate to another country if they had the choice: https://news.gallup.com/poll/245255/750-million-worldwide-mi.... In South Asia it’s under 10%. Is it a surprise people in rural Ohio want to stay put?

Indeed the desire to stay near home is probably strongest for those with the fewest resources. For skilled, educated people, emigration is often an adventure. Exciting opportunities await you in the new place. But if you’re a low skill worker in Ohio, what does moving to San Francisco get you? What do you get for leaving your friends and family behind? Better chances to get a service job waiting on some Facebook engineers?
It seems likely that to me we will eventually start using AI models for compression and decompression of text, images, 3d models, programs, video, and streaming. AI has the potential for much higher compression. It's actually quite feasible for most PCs and laptops to keep in memory multiple GBs models. And the typical PC game is dozens of GBs.
>Don't give away all your tricks to the enemy

That's pretty impossible with open-source software. Google engineers aren't clueless; they'll know where to find this information just as well as anyone here.

It's too bad there isn't a legal way of preventing Google engineers from reading some source code.

"Solar will not use up land"? Have you any clue how invasive large solar installs are? I know people involved in the surveying, prep, archaeology, etc. of large installs in central CA. There is a lot of churning of soil, a lot of land covered, a lot of native species disturbed, etc.
After Peter Jackson's interpretations I only remember what it felt like to have imagined the scenery, characters, and action in The Lord of the Rings.

Even the cover art of Legolas and Gimli on The Two Towers paperback circa late 80s early 90s wormed its way into my imagination. Some cover art is great, really awesome art, and sometimes I'd rather not have seen it.
Our APIs up to this point have been designed for computers. Json input, json output, and those are the nice ones.

I wonder if a deterministic but natural language API would be any better for LLMs to integrate with? Or do LLMs already speak Json well enough?

I can still be glad for all Wikimedians taking photographs in rural areas, and of short events, Wikimedia culture, hard-to-access places, hard-to-find items, and other subjects that are rarely available as free images.

Yeah, if you live in a small town, it can be hard to find good photos of it online at all.

I will note that regardless of size, cities are living things (a la the phrase "living language") and photos can rapidly become out of date when new structures go up, policies change, etc. So while the author of this piece has chosen to largely stop taking such photos, which is fine, there is really no reason to feel like "There are enough photos of [some big city] and we just don't need more."

Skylines change. Cultural practices change. Etc.

Sometimes you notice that change because you went looking at photos and noticed something that you didn't notice while living through those changes firsthand.

There is a need for the actual plaintiffs in cases like these to have a direct line to the public or at least media.

This settlement can’t possibly even make these folks whole, much less property disincentivize future abuse — but it’s probably a windfall for their attorneys.

I'm building software to transparently connect your program or machine to remote filesystems. I'm initially supporting C++ and Go, and later plan to support Python and Javascript as well.

There are a lot of exciting filesystems out there - what I'm focusing on is ease of use and getting a "magic" experience for the end user. Think NFS, but easy to setup.

If anybody is interested in learning more or helping write some language specific implementations I'd love to talk.
Another Request for Hacker News and Dark Mode
This request has been posted two months and all I can do is pile on another request within the comment section for Dark Mode.

I don't want to install a js or pay for it and just use my Safari browser. It can't be that hard for HW to add that simple feature.

Saves a lot of energy and better for the eyes.
Let's make it happen.
Uhm, I don't see this as a really bad thing. Most of us are only charging our EVs to 80% anyways, because the battery will last longer. Locking out 27% of the capacity means we can charge up to 73%, which isn't that far from what we are doing anyways. It is a bummer for the longer trips where would charge to 100%, but it isn't as much deadweight as it appears at first glance for typical use.

Now, if it wasn't somehow just software locked, and they were cutting off access to the cells (so they really would be dead weight), then that would be really bad.
You can buy a travel/laptop mouse and those can get pretty tiny, but they still have 2 buttons and a scroll wheel.

I find using a single button mouse an interesting exercise - both windows and MacOS are usable without it, MacOS in particular you can still do ctrl+left click to get a right click. It sounds silly but when I use a mouse my left hand is still usually on the keyboard so it's not really a big deal.

I haven't done it in years, but I didn't really feel like I missed having 2 buttons and a scroll wheel when I used a 'pro mouse' lol.

Now, I could rant for a while about how awful the ergonomics of the magic mouse are!
I just read through that page, thanks for linking it! My vision for Carve is that I just want users to say "I want to schedule a meeting with A, B, and C people". And then Carve would handle the rest: finding availability, making sure the meeting time is during working hours, etc...

The additional features would let users set filters on:

* What times they wanted to schedule meetings

* Schedule meetings at least 24 hours in advance

* Set some people as optional

* etc..
The problem is that the pro-China position almost always comes either from an outsider (who isn’t really credible) or an insider (who is scared of giving even meek criticism or caveated opinions).

There are not really insiders willing to offer those nuanced opinions. Instead it’s up to the rest of the world to figure out what’s true and what’s not, what’s omitted, how to reconcile the two differing opinions, but without the context.

And I don’t agree that the same applies to the USSR in the modern era. I thought it was common knowledge that in post-soviet countries a lot of especially older folks held mixed opinions on the USSR (liking the safety net and sense of personal security, hating the shortages and queues, liking the international prominence, hating the corruption, etc).
It's complicated, and there's no single way to answer that question.

The shortest answer is that inch for inch, high-megapixel digital sensors have higher resolution than film, especially when measuring luminance only.

The longer answer is that those sensors are incredibly expensive and lose some degree of spacial resolution when it comes to colour data specifically, due to having to use a colour filter array over an inherently monochrome sensor and then de-mosaicing the result into a colour image. There's also the tradeoff for film ISO versus grain size, which (mostly, in a lies-to-children kind of way) means that the gap between film & digital increases as the amount of available light goes down.

Of course, you can also use an 8"x10" large format film camera to capture an effective 600 megapixel image, which digital cannot compete with.

There's about 9 other questions to answer before you can get anywhere near the "more resolution" question.
