Hey HN! Michael here, one of the co-creators of Fake Hacker News.

if anyone is curious, here is some background info on our tech stack:

- Frontend: react, next 13, typescript, tailwind css

- DB: firebase for storing submissions and the generated comments

- Backend: vercel edge function that calls openai

- Analytics: posthog

For analytics, we are collecting the following product events:

- number of times we call openai

- failure rate of the generation request

- number of retries per user

would appreciate any feedback on the product and the tech stack!
Or is just voicing the apparently unnerving idea that those groups will achieve power & influence in proportion to their numbers.
Classically and in vacuum I think your intuition is right.
However in this case, I think this is happening in bulk materials not in vacuum, and there are other interactions on the atomic scale so light propagating through the lattice has weird affects.
Can I presume it is still permitted in other New York rivers?
Well it could, but it shouldn’t. There is no rational reason to restrain society in such a drastic manner for unclear benefits.

Yes, but even more so now. When I lived there I really saw the change. My friend lived in a musicians' shared apartment above an off-license on Abbeyville Road just when the estate agents invented the whole "Abbeyville Village" thing. Off-license became a Cafe Rouge. Chinese Takeaway across the street became a Pizza Express[1]. Hardware store became a wine bar. Rent went up like 2 or 3x so they had to move.

I lived near the old town which was fun because we used to see Vivian Westwood riding around like a crazy person on her bicycle. My apartment doubled in value so I sold and moved closer to Stockwell where it was cheaper/more sketchy.

>The whole point of insurance is to create a risk pool. The more information one has, the less sense it makes to have insurance at all.

Yes! Exactly. This is my entire point. The point of insurance is to spread around randomness, bad luck.

>For example, suppose you had a genetic condition that made it a near-certainty you'd die of cancer. Under your model, no one would sell you cancer insurance.

Yes, this is already how the world works already. This isn't "my model" it is just how insurance already works. It is based on an assessment of risk.

Note that you may still be able to get the insurance, but all you would be doing is hedging against the risk you get it sooner or later than you would expect to get it on average. Might still be useful if you have a mortgage and a young family.

>On the other side of the coin, suppose you had a genetic condition that made you virtually immune to cancer. In that case, you'd be foolish to buy cancer insurance.

Yes obviously...? This is why the first category exists too. If you allow people that know they're higher risk to insure but allow people that know they're lower risk not to, then insurance doesn't work. This is why you have a legal duty to disclose all relevant information in your possession to your insurance company.

Roman Britain
Roman London was established as a trading post in 47-50 AD, destroyed during Queen Boudica's uprising, rebuilt, and became an important trading center. Emperor Hadrian ordered a defensive wall in 122 AD. Roman London thrived until the Roman Empire began to withdraw from Britain in 410 AD and it was eventually abandoned.
Well, I read it and still don't know how they measure software developer productivity.

Good stuff for the next bullshit bingo template though, I didn't have "Developer Velocity Index Benchmark" yet.
I think Craigslist or Ebay was supposed to solve that problem, but:

- Craigslist is full of tire kickers who just annoy the crap out of you with stupid questions (for free things!!!)

- Ebay is full of scam artists and hucksters

So... the problem persists.

I have always seen the fundamentals of "growth in the economy" as either more efficient use of energy (such as moving from open campfire to heath and chimney). But that begs the question "use to do what?" And that leads us to "human satisfaction". We measure all of this in an entirely anthropomorphic manner.

And so we could "grow" the economy by increasing human welfare - we could in theory keep the economy the same "size" but distribute it differently and still see masssive increase in human welfare (We talk about the chinese miracle of lifting hundreds of millions of people out of poverty - and yes there is a generation of chinese today whose living grandparent's can talk of picking grains of rice off the dirt just to live another day. Some large measurable percentage of chinese growth was just moving factories and manufacturing from one place in America to another in guandong. It was re-distribution as opposed to "growth".

The point I am not making is that yes de-carbonisation is needed, yes a more sustainable economy is needed, but for human welfare to increase we need to not think of maximising profit but maximising human utility

Cities that are inspiring of urban wastelands, jobs and education, health and politics that benefit all humankind

> doing research on exactly that family of viruses

"The IC has no information, however, indicating that any WIV genetic engineering work has involved SARS-CoV-2, a close progenitor, or a backbone virus that is closely-related enough to have been the source of the pandemic."

https://www.dni.gov/files/ODNI/documents/assessments/Report-...

> but it's "more possible" that the virus came from nature in the exact same area's wet markets

The geographic distribution of cases around the wet market suggests that was the spillover event.

In the case of SARS-CoV-1 there was a lab spillover from a tech getting infected, she wound up infecting her mother who died. This is the kind of contact tracing that would be expected from a lab spillover. In the case of SARS-CoV-2 there is no link to the lab, so the hypothesis must be that the person got sick and then went to the one kind of place in Wuhan where a natural spillover would happen, caused the pandemic and then went about their life and failed to infect anyone else in their life. It requires a Shroedinger's Lab Worker that only exists when they visit the one place that makes it look exactly like natural spillover.

A deliberate release of a bioweapon in the market actually makes more sense than accidental spillover from a lab leak.

That is just another way of saying what I just said
I think there are good epistemological reasons to at least consider the fact that this is not what quantum mechanics is about. There seem to be ways you could kind of try to make what you are talking about work, but they are incomplete and pretty incondite and have, at any rate and to the extent that I understand them, some pretty unappealing philosophical characteristics.

The real meaning of the commutation relation is not that there is a fundamental _relation_ between sets of observables but, I would argue, that at a deep level pairs of non-commuting observables like x and p, share a single ontological substance which we can view partially as either position or velocity depending on how we arrange our measuring apparatus.
That is not insurance. It is a tax.
Current setup on my M1 for dev is to use docker with containers for mysql, localstack, rabbitmq, redis, and ruby (debian bullseye), all arm64 images, and then VS Code with the remote container extension. Was pretty rough going when the M1 first came out but is now flawless and lightning fast. Onboarding new devs takes an hour instead of a day.

There's not a fixed percentage. There's an optimal balance that likely changes depending on the environment.

But you do sound like you're saying "384kb is enough for everybody". The reason to devote more resources to cognition is is precisely because we can't imagine the possibilities that exist with more clever thinking applied to our limited resources. In the same way, an ape with 10% energy allocated towards cognition (guessing) can't even begin to imagine the magic that gets unlocked by its ancestors that gambled on 20%. Hell, apes can look at us now and still can't understand us.

In this conversation, you're the ape who's blindly suggesting there's little worthwhile in expanding resources towards global computation, and I'm the ape who's blindly suggesting there probably is. Neither of us can honestly predict what might happen, good or bad.
GPT can make great sentences, it's just not the default operating mode. LLMs are capable of amazing things if you can get them into the right section of the latent space.
I don't know what the solution is for places that have SLS

I don’t have a real solution either, but it seems like it would either need to involve a managed wind-down of towns in gradual, permanent decline, or somehow propping them up in perpetuity.

Some towns may just not make sense anymore. But for one reason or another, whether the problem is disappearing economic opportunity or changing climate, there’s no way to cleanly move on. There’s some discussion of this concept now under the moniker “managed retreat”, but we still need to figure out how to avoid stranding the most vulnerable.
This is factually incorrect.

According to the article, Constellation owns 30 nuclear power stations in the US. I was surprised at that number, I thought there were far fewer. According to Wikipedia there's over 50 active nuclear power stations in the US, more than France or China or Russia.

Those 100 companies get paid with our money. The choices we make drive the market. My purchasing choices (or lack thereof) will have far more impact on co² reduction than my vote, because there isn't a single candidate, let alone party, that is going to do a damn thing about it. If being close to carbon neutral does nothing more than let me say "I did my best, so I'm not gonna beat myself up", them so be it. That's actually quite a lot in my book. Oh to be a sociopath!

i once built a coffee roaster with a converted table top rotisserie kit i bought off ebay, a box fan, and some screen door mesh. It cost about $1,000. Not very practical because the cycle time and labor was too high due to the low quality nature of the roasting apparatus but it is not hard to find a good traditional roaster for $5,000. if your going to deal drugs for a living caffeine is probably the way to go.

> portable and reliable to use across Debian, Arch or RHEL based distributions

Until you try to use a newer feature or try the script in a Mac or BSD or any older bash.

SH code is completely portable, but bash itself can have quite a few novel features. Don’t get me wrong - I’m happy the language is dynamic and still growing. But it can make things awkward when trying to use a script from a newer system on an older server (and the author has been “clever”).
The article does not answer its own question. Why does the IDE need to be reimagined? Apparently "because AI".

AI could provide some different views of project structure (not file/folder). AI could use existing IDE tooling?

None of this is a reimagining of the IDE, just some incremental additions to it.
Yea you’re right. I just don’t personally have that experience with Christianity to have a view.

Interestingly I was reading a teaching on the difference between transcendence and Buddhism. Transcendence was in fact what was being sought after in south Asian cultures at the time of Buddha. But Buddha didn’t teach transcendence and he made a clear distinction. It’s not about escape from your situation by leaving it in some way, it’s about living your situation without attachment to the past or future, about if you want things to be better, then do what you believe makes things better and others like you will be a part of your change you make. There’s several layers in Buddhism, with basic ones being relief from suffering, but deeper ones involve loving kindness and compassion, drawing on the idea that we are communal organisms that thrive on constructive generosity and kindness.

A lot is made of “enlightenment” and reincarnation, and at least in Theravada Buddhism, are mostly metaphorical.

Which brings me to your first point - Buddhism in Burma, Cambodia, and Thailand is Theravada Buddhism which is essentially unchanged from the original compilation in pali. In other parts of Asia you see a lot of innovation and mysticism (and to be fair in Southeast Asia the lay person Buddhism is a mixture of traditional animism and spirit worship mixed in with Buddhism).

Finally you make a male / female distinction. I don’t think this is fair. Women are allowed as much freedom and respect in Buddhism as any organized “religion” (I don’t consider Theravada Buddhism to be a religion, or even a philosophy - it’s more a guide to being a human). In fact in the Pali texts there are quite a large number of females who achieve enlightenment or bodhisattva (people who could become enlightened but opt instead to spend their lives ending suffering for all creatures, often even more respected in life and death than those who become enlightened).

Women are not allowed to become ordained monks though. But they can become nuns, which in theory are equal to monks. In practice sadly many mainstream monks exploit their position, which is not supposed to come with power and influence. In many ways the monk hoods rules about women are much more about the weakness of men than anything about women. Women are generally viewed as more likely to not need such draconian rules as men. There is nothing, absolutely nothing, in Theravada Buddhism that elevates men above women in any way whatsoever.

Sadly though the societies themselves are historically patriarchal, and this colors things and male monks are often venerated more than nuns for that reason.
The "page" becomes the resource for reads. You get great scalability, because you can use your database in the most efficient way possible to provide entire data for the page. You can maintain 100% back-end clarity on what each page depends on (instead of letting front-end request anything they want in any part of the view).

I personally prefer server-side frameworks. I also understand when a front-end team prefers to work a certain way, has a lot of knowledge and tooling built-up around a certain way, and is worth accommodating for that reason.

Sorry, that's not good enough. Atheists aren't burning down churches. Atheists aren't throwing eggs at Christians. Atheists aren't bullying young indoctrinated children, nor are Christians, members of the largest religious group in the world, being persecuted by the big atheist conspiracy.

So any cry that we should be nicer to you and not roll our eyes when we get into this topic is literally what someone calls "being a snowflake."

I know it is hard to understand in this age of politically correct culture wars, but it is possible to have an harmonious society with disagreement of opinion. But if someone starts to cry "help, help, I'm being repressed!" because someone makes fun of your supernatural being, that goes out the window.
At least they died doing something they loved. Recently overheard a troubling conversation where a triathalon competitor observed a 60+ year old man clearly in major physical distress who refused any kind of assistance. It needs to be first of all understood that these are not necessarily tragedies so much as people taking things way too far and secondly considered that it might be best for everyone that they be allowed to do that.
At least one of the ideas alluded to in this article is reminiscent of an actual audio "compression" algorithm. SAOL aka "MPEG-4 Structured Audio"

https://sound.media.mit.edu/resources/mpeg4/sa-tools.html

It was a growing idea in the mid-2000s but AFAIK it has gone absolutely nowhere. Essentially, instead of somehow encoding the audio, you encode a description of how to generate the audio.

I was aware of Eric's Usenet activity / participation reports, which are included in John S. Quarterman's The Matrix, a very early 1990s survey of "computer networks and conferencing systems" (it predates the WWW).

I think I was vaguely aware of his work on Scribe though that had slunk off into dark recesses of my brain (which is to say, most of it). Given my interests in documents and their specification & management, Scribe's been something I've meant to look at more closely, so this is a handy reminder, and I appreciate the further context.

I’m gonna have to go with SAP on this one. I know that it’s possible to have a customized polished front end but that costs lots and my company was cheap. I understand that an ERP is a large complicated piece of software but so many basic UI things were awful. Sometimes you hit a check mark to proceed, sometimes a clock with a check mark. The yellow button next to it goes back 1 level, sometimes the red stop does too, sometimes it backs you all the way out. There was no discoverability of commands, you had to know the secret incantation to get the data you needed which resulted in coworkers passing around their ‘favorites’ and home made recipe son how to do things that we did regularly that should have been quicker.

Yes, it's not too difficult (but thanks for the pointer, edited). The question was why this smart pointer would be useful at all, not just whether it belongs in the standard library. Implementing the helper class yourself is not too bad, but putting this in domain classes is a lot of cruft.
