There are in-place array mergesorts. (Nobody uses them because they're horribly complicated, though.)

Does this all actually mean they are bringing the KBI in on the investigation against the newspaper?

> It's $5 over a year. If that's a meaningful amount of money you probably have no business owning domain names.

I don't think you have a say on what others do with their money, or what could have possibly led you to believe you had.

I've bought domains for my employer before. Domain name pricing was absolutely a factor in the decision-making process. Only a moron pays $20 for something they could pay $10 instead.
The US's anti-surveillance laws and sentiment keep ubiquitous camera systems from existing in many places, and keep the ones that do exist, quiet. In my state, Massachusetts, traffic cameras legally cannot be used to issue citations. Automated toll collection, which uses highway mounted plate scanners, faced substantial backlash from people for privacy reasons. And Massachusetts is one of the least anti-government states in the country. If it got out that the police were monitoring which cars were on the road and how often they were driven, there would be literal riots.

I have one AppImage installed on one system (of four, at the moment). Zero flatpaks and snaps. That one AppImage appears to be available only as a Windows install or an AppImage. I dread any future where everything is an AppImage (or whatever).

Why not just ship everything with a complete OS? Hell, let's go the whole hog; hardware is also a dependency, it's not just libraries. So let's ship every app as a hardware appliance.

This is really interesting. Like mentioned in the article, this is a kind of RLHF, and that's what takes GPT3 from a difficult to use LLM to a chat bot which is able to confuse some people into thinking is has consciousness. It makes it much more usable.

I don't know how these models are trained, but hopefully future models will include bad results as negative training data, baking it into the base model.

It's only mentioned in passing in the article, but apparently it's possible to merge LoRAs? How would you do that, I'd like to use one LoRA to include my own subjects, this LoRA to make the results better, and maybe a third one for a particular style.

Hmmm... CRP correlates to all kinds of things like lower levels of Vit D, less exercise, illness, etc...

If people are going out less, say because it's winter and they've been feeling unwell then we should expect CRP levels to be higher. We should probably also expect social media use while people are at home is probably going to be higher than when they're outside in the sun.

The idea that an inflammatory marker would actually drive people to seek out social media seems highly suspect to me. Do people with cancer develop an insatiable urge to use social media?

Also, the second you have slightly more than pocket cash to your name, all your disability and SSI type benefits go away. You cannot work yourself out of disability, because getting a job that can't exclusively pay for all your needs will still kill your benefits, leaving you worse off than the horrid poverty of exclusively relying on the government.

So many people in America who are on government benefits for life would LOVE to work odd jobs or part time and contribute to the economy and buy like an xbox or something but they cannot, because they would then be kicked out of their housing program. It's absurd.

Then these people on fixed, abysmal incomes are preyed upon by an entire industry who exists to skim off fees from the poor for everything from cashing checks, to hounding them for debts, to things like Dollar Tree where you can pay double the unit rate to buy a small portion of a normal product.

Economic growth raises property values, speculators pile on hoping to make money for nothing, property values rocket upward taking rents with them, rents exceed their productive value, businesses close and people leave because the rent is too damn high, and recession ensues. Expect property owners to hang on as long as they can.

> The American dream was never intended to apply to more than a very specific subset of the population

In recent times it's still been sold to everyone as if it were equally obtainable and anyone who found themselves unable to get ahead despite their hard work was told it was their own fault and they should have tried tugging harder on their bootstraps.

I agree it's time we stop thinking about the American Dream the same way. We need to either accept that it'll be out of reach for many no matter how hard they try or we change things so that's no longer the case. We can't fix it as long as we continue to buy into the fantasy that it's not broken.

You press ctrl-alt-del and it brings up a privileged interface that lets you manually choose programs to kill. I don't know the details but I guess it's high priority or pauses other programs or something, but it fairly reliably works even if the rest of the system is unresponsive.

Lack of overcommit probably helps a bit, but it's a bit of a red herring. The real thing that Linux lacks is a GUI integrated into the kernel. There's literally no way for Linux to do anything like this.

(It might not actually require a kernel GUI but it definitely requires special treatment of the GUI by the kernel and it doesn't do that.)
I'll never understand how World of Tanks is more popular than War Thunder. World of Tanks is just health bars. In War Thunder you can actually think like a tank and use tactics against your enemy, especially in Realistic mode battles. You can actually survive by using the tank's strengths to advantage.

It’s expected generational behavior.

Younger generations want to change things and think they are unique and special, older generations are like “nah you don’t get it just wait until you are older”.

Both are right to varying degrees and depending on the circumstances. But those seems like the default views, and it takes effort to see when they don’t apply.

Why yes, how did you know? By developing new cutting edge technologies we are able to help website operators monetize their content but more importantly improve the user experience through accurate targeting of relevant advertising bringing the user's attention to products and services they might not be aware of.

Why do you assume that such people don't understand this? Sometimes those compromises mean that the tool can no longer accomplish something important to some users.

I don't think that being upset that software has become less useful is terribly unreasonable or hard to understand.

> Additionally, as it's natural with any new technology, the very first incarnations of the new technology are not very mature and there is a lot to polish, a lot of tooling missing

And while the software is in that state, it shouldn't be forced on anyone. It's not unreasonable for people to want to use software that actually works well in the present.

Instead, I foresee illustrators concentrating even more on capturing the core features of an image, letting generative AI fill in details, and then correcting those details as necessary.

I'm not sure why they think this is unpopular with no one. This seems like the logical path forward. In the same way that CoPilot isn't going to replace me but it's makes certain boilerplate much less painful and avoids the "blank page"/"writers lock" that can happen when I go to write a function sometimes. It's just nicer to start from something then modify it until I have what I need (even if I end up replacing 80-99% of it).

In the same way I imagine it would be nice for an artist to see a couple of examples of what their line drawing could be which will spark some creativity and then they can do what they want.

I write about this several times as at IT journalist the time. I remember interviewing Francis Charig a couple of times, who was - ISTR - MD of Tao Systems.

It was a tough one. The demos and the concept was absolutely beautiful and the claimed performance astonishing. It was an elegant idea. But I had no real, independently verifiable way of knowing whether it was bullshit.

I seem to recall it started off being described initially on the CIX bulletin board (think dial-up, UK version of Reddit) in conference (subreddit) of its own. Initiially it looked like philosphical ramblings until several of the conference members twiiged 'hang on - youre talking about a real OS!'. Might have been Chris Hinsley who posted the text.
>Why would you use an HDD as a boot drive in this day and age anyway?

I didn't purchase it but thought it would have similar boot times to a regular HDD, which is only a few seconds more of a delay than a SATA SSD.

Nope this was one of the 8TB WD SMR's and takes about 10 times as long to boot compared to regular HDD. Still that's only a few minutes total and it's easy to just boot a few minutes earlier before I want to use that particular PC. Once Windows is initially loaded into memory (against upstream return data being slowly written to the SMR) it mostly works like normal after that.

Plus when you've got terabytes there's plenty of room for a number of 64GB partitions to install various bootable OS's in, without hardly compromising the major amount of free space you have left over for bulk storage in the large partition(s).
It's a pretty good point, ordinary computers could boot up from cold in under 30 seconds on 5400 rpm spinning rust, so why can't they boot up in under 1 second on the latest and greatest NVMe SSDs?
We don't handle that case in our S3 upload system. We only upload upon rotation, which adds a latency of around a day (less for very noisy log files). For live debugging, we either replicate the problem in local environment (if possible), or the dev logs into the production server and runs `tail` on the log file.

Doubling the price seems reasonable to reduce squatting. $20 or $30 would be nothing to anyone starting a project but a much higher cost for someone squatting on thousands of domains.
I don't necessarily agree with the article, but I wonder why the comments here are so hostile. I do wish employers of high school graduates were willing and legally allowed to consider SAT/ACT and AP exam scores in addition to high school GPAs in hiring. It's my impression that very few do. Has anyone had a job where they not only confirmed that you graduated from high school but looked at your transcript?

Since the high school record, other than graduating or not (a low bar), is ignored, a college degree is still a way to signal general intelligence, which is largely why I am sending my child to a "fancy" college in a week.

You can't beat physics. You'll need some sort of line-of-sight over those 5 miles or at least some path that allows signals to be reflected of something. Unless you venture into frequency ranges and transmit power levels where you can bounce signals off the ionosphere (or the moon), you are pretty limited in range without a repeater.
> Commercial illustrators will keep their jobs, but will mostly need to learn to use AI as a part of their workflow to maintain a higher pace of work.

This is exactly what I've found to be the case too. People outside of this AI media generation community still think it's entering some text and getting some output. In reality, there are entire workflows constructed to get the exact type of image one wants.

Look at: https://old.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/14ye2eg/co...

The second image is the output image, but the first is even more interesting. It is a node based interface more commonly seen in game development tools like Unreal Engine which has a similar interface [0]. It is akin to hooking up APIs together to get the resultant image. I see the future of image generation being more akin to backend programming than actually drawing anything, which is to be expected as the actual drawing part is getting automated while the creativity now rests in the workflow itself (at least until we automate the workflow part too, but that's a far ways off as computers can't read minds yet to even know what the user wants).

Also, the last time I tried, to do similar with FIFOs (no /tmp | whatever storage like other e.g.s here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37211687), GNU parallel needed some - for me - specially compiled Perl interpreter with threads enabled to use its `parcat` program which is also probably slow. Besides the nagware insanity, `parallel` seems just not a very compelling tool in either machine|human overheads unless -- maybe -- you already know Perl (which I always found a supremely forgettable language).
If this is valid, how about the countless animations everywhere in UIs today that waste time for no other reason than looking pretty the first hundred times? The application switcher on a phone I use has a switch time of 0.5s-1s with animations, practically instant without.
This is what capitalism is: intermediation, rent-seeking and creating a monopoly via a regulatory moat.

Some time ago I watched this excellent video on the history of Tetris [1]. The only "innovation" of capitalism in this entire story are layers of licensing agreements. Again: intermediation, rent-seeking and regulatory moats (through intellectual property).

A domain is nothing more than a digital record. The cost of providing that service is essentially zero. The cost should be pretty much zero. You'd have to do something about squatting but, hey, that's already an unaddressed problem.
