The reason the GP gives is a step in the right direction: the density is constant everywhere in space at a given point in time, and variations in "gravitational potential" (which are necessary for gravitational time dilation) can only be present if there are differences in density.

A more technically correct reason is that the concept of "gravitational potential" (and hence gravitational time dilation) is not even well-defined in an expanding universe. "Gravitational potential" is only well-defined in a stationary spacetime, which means one in which the geometry does not change with time. An expanding universe is not a stationary spacetime. (But even in a stationary spacetime, variations in gravitational potential, which require variations in density, are necessary for gravitational time dilation to exist. That is why the GP's answer described above is a step in the right direction.)
I was aghast that you cannot move the taskbar. Now I am forced to keep it in the least optimal orientation. On my employer-provided system that is. No way is that dumpster fire of privacy invading, 80% baked UX, nonsense getting anywhere near my own devices.

> An important factor in reducing the size of the codebase and executable is that Jacobin relies on Go’s built-in memory management to perform garbage collection, and so it contains no GC code.

This breaks my brain thinking about it. A lot of what the JVM does is interpreting/JITing bytecode and ensuring it links/executes correctly, and writing that logic itself in Go is one thing. But how does Go's GC help you garbage collect objects in the JVM you're implementing?

For example, you have objects in the JVM heap, tracked by the code you're writing in Go. You need to do a GC run. How does the Go GC know about the objects you're managing in the JVM? Do you just... write wrapper objects in Go around each of them, and code up a destructor so that freeing the Go object frees the tracked JVM object? How do you inform the Go VM about which pointers exist to your JVM objects?

I realize I'm in way out of my depth here, and only have a "user"'s understanding of what GC's do, having never implemented one myself, but it seems crazy to me that Go's GC can Just Work with a VM you're writing in Go itself.
I ran insiders since later windows 8.1 updates... I had to reinstall a couple times, when the win11 went full release (didn't have secure boot and tpm enabled and it broke itself) and there was another bug a few months later. What really irked me into leaving was that someone thought it was cool to show literal ads in the start menu search results. Insiders or not, that's something that is just wrong. I changed my default boot to my linux drive and haven't looked back on my personal desktop.
Only DMA comes to mind but it requires a non-hardened configuration which isn't that common on recent laptops + OS.

I like that Bun is going in the direction of a monolithic, self-contained binary. I'm sick of fiddling with tsc, ts-node, and stringing together 5 different build tools.

I'd rather install Bun, then get on with building our app.
Eh, they're both proprietary OSes. Maybe you're more used to the UI paradigms of one or the other, but other than that, I don't see a strong reason to prefer one or the other.

Also, I personally don't use any of these tools except Office, but I'm pretty sure classing developers as having psychological issues based on their language ecosystem choice is against HN guidelines.
> I think this is all bullshit. It most likely has to do with rental contracts the company signed and not wanting it to go to waste.

This is the sunk cost fallacy. While you've overlooked it, I promise you they haven't. If they already have the lease, they'd be happy to let the building sit empty without paying for utilities, security, etc. They'd be happy to offload facilities costs to employees.

Given that OpenAI finished training GPT4 a year ago, and no models today (including these) can beat it, I highly doubt anyone is capable of killing Open AI in the near future. I’m guessing by the time GPT5 is out, someone will finally catch up with GPT4.

This reads more like trying to comply with the regulations and doing so imperfectly, rather than using the regs as a pretext to discriminate.
That would be redundant.

If I make a factually inaccurate comment, I can expect at least three replies correcting me. We like to joke that they all start with "actually..." Maybe I've also been downvoted, but it's clear I was incorrect about something.

If I'm downvoted without replies, was I being a jerk? This requires some self-reflection, but there's rarely any mystery. Maybe I made a joke that fell flat, wasn't appreciated, or was deemed unsubstantial. Flop on this one badly enough and the mod will let you know by word or act.

Which brings us to the last possibility. If I haven't been incorrect, a jerk, telling dad jokes, or being generally pointless and my comment is still being downvoted, then it means I've said something that some people wish wasn't true. It might not even be a majority, just whoever happened to be passing by. Be proud and don't sweat the fake internet points.

Exactly. Earth life requires organization (low entropy) to generate usable biological energy. Absent a division, that low entropy state reverts to the environmental mean.

I'm struggling to imagine what usable energy generation in a high entropy environment would look like.
>drive the pitchfork driven clickbait FUD that seems to be invading HN lately.

This isn't "lately", HN has been this way since at least 2017 when I started reading. If you didn't notice it, that's on you. Almost nobody has ever read the articles on HN.
Where does this come from? I'd like to read more of the quoted text.

I have a similar thing with YouTube shorts on my work laptop.

I have never engaged with a YouTube short, I’m not signed in, and I use an isolated profile. I’ll occasionally watch YouTube while I eat lunch. Home repair, cars/trucks/RV, and how to videos; all of which I assume is primarily a male audience.

All of my shorts suggestions are scantily clad females with clickbait titles. I can only assume that it’s the default content for people YouTube thing identifies as males. If it knows nothing else about you, it simply defaults to “sex sells”.

My personal YouTube account is a bit better. It’s mostly content from channels I subscribe to, but they throw in an occasional thirst trap.

What is "undergo our Shimmer Coach Training program developed alongside our clinical advisors Dr. Amin Azzam (MD, MA), Dr. Anil Chacko (PhD), and our Head ADHD Coaching Psychologist Xenia Angevi"?

Are they doctors or not? Psychologists or not? AI or not? There is so much mumbo jumbo and scams and pseudo medicine in psychology related issues, that this sentence simply reads as "yeah trust us, some of us are doctors, people who are doing the work, are not".

Also amount of usage of word "coaching" is abusive. Are coaches respectable? Do they have credentials? Why coaches and not psychologist or psychotherapist?

Thanks for the details. It's interesting to know the differences between them. Yes, it looks like Inferno is the closes thing to Taos. My point was that there was a lot of interesting research operating systems that explored ideas in that direction (heterogeneity, distribution, networking, etc). But Taos seems super interesting. In what language is it written?
A simple up/down vote isn't enough to convey on all the options. Most people take to be an agree/disagree button rather than good quality/bad quality button -- and I think that's a valid interpretation given the limited options.
voting is at best tactical harm reduction, like plastic recycling.

at worst it's a distraction from necessary change, like plastic recycling.
Expanding a bit for those who don't know how a Kalman filters (or any Bayesian recursive estimator for that matter) work here's the essential idea.

Each sensor is given an uncertainty model, that is for example a stochastic model by adding e.g. Gaussian noise to the "true" value it is measuring. Further, you have another model that describes the dynamics, e.g. equations from physics can tell you where the car will go if you know the current speed, position, etc..

1. The kalman filter computes a probabilistic prediction of what it thinks is happening by using the dynamics model. That is, based on what it knows so far, where will the car (probably) be when the next measurement comes up?

2. When measurements from various sensors come in, the Kalman filter uses Bayes's theorem to compute a mean (posterior), in which each measurement is weighted by the probability that the measured value is correct (using the uncertainty models; "correct" here means "in agreement with the prediction"). In other words, sensor that are inaccurate (large variance) will be considered less in the computation of the mean, while more accurate sensors are given more importance.

Once the mean of the measured quantities are computed they are used again in step 1 and the whole thing is repeated. As you can see, that disagreements are justified by the inaccuracies of the sensors, and the process of performing a probabilistic weighted average solves the problem. For the Kalman filter in particular, it can be be show (mathematically proved) that this process minimizes the variance (uncertainty) of the measured quantities (which btw. is an amazing result if you think about it).

> For most languages, not a big problem and the uni surely has the resources to do it.

This is extremely uninformed. Not only will universities not translate your dissertation for you, they usually won’t even revise the English if you are a non-native speaker and wrote in that language. You have to pay for the costs of language revision out of your grant funding or even out of your own pocket. And this is not cheap. At standard rates and standard length of a standard PhD thesis, one could expect to pay nearly a thousand euro for mere language revision. The costs of translation of a dissertation from one language into another would run already into the thousands of euro.

Maybe stagnated is a better word. I know a language where you can talk about everyday things, and so can probably a hundred million other people. But no one can talk about any topic more advanced than an elementary school subject without switching to a bigger language.

Finding early-early apes in Turkey is cool but it in no way challenges the out of Africa hypothesis unless you’re really grasping at straws wanting that hypothesis to be false.

I apologise that I paraphrased your words poorly. I don't doubt you are well-intentioned and act professionally. Which is why I think you would have little to fear. And it's probably worth taking precautions, but not worth getting stressed about.

What I and perhaps others found a little off-putting is that you replied to a story about women being subjected to rape jokes and other bullying with the risks you think the modern "political climate" poses for men.

My point, perhaps irritably expressed, is that I think those risks are overblown. Certainly more so than the risks women face.

AI has no moat, but many players are in denial about this still. Microsoft and other might have tight enough control they can use a product dumping strategy to get people dependent upon their implementation such they can start charging, but that isn't a delusion Meta can have.

That max revenue license they used with the models seemed fairly clever to me. It will seed the environment with players that base their product on Meta tech in return for them being born with a poison pill preventing their use by big players (other than Meta) buying them. This is a long term play that may not really work but it creates the potential for big opportunities. And even if it doesn't work out, denying easy wins for their powerful competitors might be worth the price on its own.

Ergo, the destruction of the human artist profession seems like something we should consider carefully.

I see, that wasn’t how I read “wants” in that passage, but I agree it’s a valid interpretation. Maybe the author does intend to include everything up to the top of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs as “wants”.

Will AI meet our needs for love, friendship, and self-actualization? That’s more problematic. Though I could still see room for utopia if it does; would the world not be a better place if there was “universal basic friendship” and nobody was completely abandoned? In that world we might still prefer human companions, yet never fall into complete loneliness.
The baseband processor in a cellular phone has full DMA access to the system. So yes, backend initiated software install with no notification to the end user is absolutely a valid point to represent in a threat model.

Rule of thumb for cellular phones: they are not your computer at the end pf the day. Between manufacturer collusion with Telcos, and legally mandated collusion between Telcos & Government, your phone exposes a small enclave of purported privacy that no one will attempt to look at (until they do); the rest of the system is essentially shared in management between user installed applications and stuff done in the background by the service provider.
