The people I share with can already find plenty of better stuff online. So what? They're friends with me so they care about seeing what I've been working on, and what I have to say.

I'm not sure what you mean by "needing other people." If you're talking about emotional need, I don't think AI really substitutes. If you mean pragmatic needs, then that's not what real friendships are based on.

These two points contradict, and also HN does do shadowbanning ("marking as dead")
The really cool thing that I forgot to mention here is that it makes the model composable

As you provide requirements and specs via properties to your project OR by adding components (which have their own properties) you are implicitly optimizing the model towards your use case (eg Analog Audio Aerospace applications)

These requirements/specs are all in human language…so an added benefit is that you provide more documentation for your human peers too!
Windows marks the device as bitlocker enables somewhere in the EFI partition or GPT disklabels. I needed to wipe the whole disk to have windows cease with bitlocker bootscreens.
It makes sense to me that Facebook is releasing these models similarly to the way that Google releases Android OS. Google's advertising model benefits from as many people being online as possible and their mobile operating system furthers that aim. Similarly, Facebook's advertising model benefits from having loads of content being generated to then be posted in their various products' feeds.
What an absurd premise-- they're just getting started. And the US' abuse of financial sanctions is only accelerating the process.
What is SpaceX is worried about a lack of current internal control to segment ITAR from non-ITAR? That seems like a plausible concern on the part of SpaceX.

I think you're avoiding the question posed by GP, to be honest.
Not everyone with everything. But the HR department of a billion dollar company should be fully comfortable with federal regulations regarding HR. I don't see how that's remotely controversial.
People are complaining about cars now. Walkable cities and bike lanes are the fashionable wave in urbanism.

Why Google (who has their own AI stuff) or MS (who has a hand in OpenAI) and not, say, Samsung?
Me three! I came from Python (now with MyPy), learned OCaml and liked some aspects, was intrigued by Reason -- and also sad it seems to be in limbo.

I also miss early returns, and break/continue.

I would like "modern ML" / "Python with sum types" / "Rust with GC" language (indentation/braces doesn't matter to me). Many people seem to agree.

Recently I found TypeScript is kinda fun for this, at least if you're starting from no code, without ecosystem baggage:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37171801

AFAIK TypeScript's type system can do everything in OCaml -- it's extremely expressive -- but it's dis-similar in that it doesn't use the types to compile to native code. I view that as a downside because JITs are unpredictable and also huge.

It has early return/break. The syntax is pretty conventional, with the usual JS weirdness that everyone has to know.
IMO "compulsive" is the damning word there. People who don't enjoy learning typically don't make good programmers, but you have to show respect for your coworkers when you choose your learning opportunities.
This is one of my favorite threads of theoretical physics. An entropy modeling of life.

The article says it "underlies rather than replaces" Darwinian evolution but I'm not sure that's necessarily the case. Sure general relativity "underlies rather than replaces" Newtonian gravity, but honestly, the understanding of GR gravity does "replace" a pure Newtonian understanding.

Darwinian evolution focuses on survival pressures to force natural selection. An entropic basis for evolution can explain things other than survival pressures; evolution can occur on a basis that rather than "improving survivability" it simply is a more functional expression of entropic drive.

How would this change how how we view evolution? It would be massive and perhaps explain a lot of the oddities in the evolution of very complex features where full functionality and marked increase in survivability is very delayed...

Would love to see further research along these lines
Although be careful with that in Python because there are other situations where (x) and (x,) are both legal but mean very different things.
Would filling a new reservoir give off lots of greenhouse gases?

I wish someone would make an IntelliJ/Android Studio plugin for Code Llama (or another local llm). I know both platforms have their own AI features but that involves sending my code to their servers which I'm really not a fan of.
hackernews as a whole is one giant barrage of nerdsnipes.

at least i come here for the discussion of interesting problems. sure sometimes i wonder, like, should i really have spent the time to comment on wobbly walls in britain? was that question i posed a nerdsnipe? maybe, but then so was the whole article.
Where does "you can't exist here" come from? I don't think it's common for people who just get downvotes frequently (not flags, but just downvotes) to get kicked off the site (or out of the "virtual world", if you prefer).
ITAR includes physical assets. It's not as simple ("table stakes") as partitioning data in a network or filesystem or database.
> In job postings and public statements over several years, SpaceX wrongly claimed that under federal regulations known as “export control laws,” SpaceX could hire only U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents, sometimes referred to as “green card holders.”

I would say it's totally fair if you're trying to discriminate based upon said regulations.
Do you (can you even have in go?) have a direct threaded interpreter? That alone may give a 2x performance difference last time I checked, or is that no longer the case?

Exactly. Brics is more a term used in the west to describe not-us large countries than anything that actually exists for those countries. India and China have an open conflict over their border for fucks sake. They're not uniting any time soon.

I was on insiders for years, switched for WSL1... I switched over to using Linux as my personal desktop OS when I first say ad results in the Windows start menu search. It may have been preview, but was just one thing too far that someone would even consider it. I still have a windows drive in my desktop, I only booted into it once a few months ago to update my ssd/nvme firmware (samsung bugfix).
Oh my bad
>I think people might need to put the pitchforks down. It's a preview release, and we have 0 information on the systems in question.

Yeah, but making this info clear in the title doesn't drive the pitchfork driven clickbait FUD that seems to be invading HN lately.

Nearly half of Windows 11 related topics I read here lately were mistakenly titled or factually wrong, and yet full of rage comments of people who haven't even read the article, or don't even use Windows, but came by to tell everyone they use Arch or MacOS.
Buy them nice houses near the office then
> Since the first release of the iPhone? I find that hard to believe since the release notes for iOS 6 specifically called out their fine-grained permissions improvements. There was clearly some wholesale bundling before that.

There has never been a version of iOS that forced you to accept all permissions before you could download it. I'm not even sure that would be possible. The OS wouldn't know what permissions an app needed until the first time you called a function that needed the permission.

Tightening down permissions is more along the lines of only allowing an app to have access to certain pictures instead of your entire library.
Seth Briars could be me.

really funny, thanks
> a change in fashion, people having a deeper awareness

Where do you think this change is coming from? When I was a kid, there was a huge billboard right next to my school with a man wearing aviator glasses, an airplane in the background, smoking Memphis cigarettes. That was the coolest guy I've ever seen.

Compare that to 20 years later, there's a photo of a depressed guy on the package and a message "smoking causes infertility".

When I first started at uni, students still smoked in the auditorium. That was cool.

By the time I finished, people who smoked had to go outside and stand in smoking zones like animals. The opposite of cool.

There's a reason why the public perception changed. I don't think the public perception would have changed as drastically without government intervention.
Ah, yes, Gates personally banned the drivers for this 2020 WiFi cards.

Or maybe it was Intel who did a bazillion of cards with a minor diffs and/or didn't ask MS to add this flavour to the default driver set, shipped with Windows install media?
From the article:

Alright. As before, I'll still wait for any such game to come out on Steam since Epic Games Store is a poor replacement for it. No Linux support is a big one since I don't install Windows anymore, and it's also missing many other features like forums and guides and built in mods.
That works for companies with a broad product range. Apple works that way.
But SpaceX work mostly funnels into a very few products, all of which are of some national security interest.
> A child doesn’t process “data” in the form of a sequence of tokens. A child associates visual objects with similar traits to pronounced words, heard from their parents.

Objects and words are tokens. At least, objects and words are not fundamental types of things. Before they are tokens, they exist only through light and sound waves that we perceive (and other sensations such as touch, smell). Our eyes and ears need to process this information before it becomes objects and words.
It is absolutely amazing to see just how far the smoke goes from these fires still: https://firesmoke.ca/forecasts/current/
Just a heads up for anyone thinking of replying, this is a just bait, no point in trying to use reason, it will be ineffective, you're just wasting your time replying.
> And loud sounds and light blinking also cause problems should we ban that too?

Noise pollution and light pollution are both issues that localities have legislated against, yes.
Anyone can create and monetize their content in a world where a user's character can access all of the content. MMORPGs generally seem to be built by a single developer who controls the whole experience. They're also generally a single game instead of thousands of mini games.
> Sometimes you'll make a controversial comment and you'll notice the score on every recent comment you made go down by one.

Sure, but that's a different phenomenon. If you make a comment that gets a lot of attention, sometimes people will go read a bunch of your other comments. I have also had the opposite of this happen, where I suddenly get upvotes on old comments.
Because settlement happens after a lawsuit is brought? Settlement is a means of reaching agreement before a trial, and is encouraged by the court as to save the court resouces, if parties can work it out amongst themselves
Yeah, running insiders and seeing an advert in the start menu search was the final straw for me. I've used it for work a couple times, but mostly choose Mac, only because the corp apple experience isn't as bad as corp Windows can get.

> Nowadays? Seems like the tide has shifted, and even completely legitimate viewpoints (not just on politics threads) get downvotes for unexplainable reasons. It saddens me a bit.

Dead posts are far from the majority here, and the vast majority are dead for a very good reason.

Grey posts just mean that some people disagree, but it does not really say much about the post itself. It might be that the tone was wrong, or the poster was being an arse. It does not prevent people reading it, and it does not prevent discussions about it. Grey posts are not a sign of persecution or a cabal against you, it’s just that it rubbed some people the wrong way.

You are interacting with a whole lot of people here. Some of them will have had a bad day or just be irrational. You don’t need many of these to get a net negative vote count. It does not really matter.
>I think shadowbanning is a bit unethical as it technically involves lying, but afaik HN doesn't do such things.

It does. A ban on HN is a shadowban. You can still post but only those who have "show dead" on will see it (greyed out and marked dead).
I'd say that pretty much every schematic I've reviewed in the last few years has a handful of logic on it. Often we need to guarantee that something is off or disconnected if the CPU fails or software crashed, etc. Hard-wired logic is good for that kind of thing.

dTPMs can also be patched, the TPM in my Dell laptop is discovered by fwupd as being updatable.
Gigantopithecus as well as many hominins besides Homo sapiens, did evolve and radiate across Asia?

Homo Erectus/Heidelburgensis/Neanderthals/Denisovans were all widely distributed outside of Africa. Neanderthals and Denisovans in particular have no records of ever having their range include Africa (Neaderthals may have lived in parts of North Africa but they’re firmly Eurasian). Homo Floresensis only ever lived in Flores.

Gigantopithecus, a giant non-hominin Ape, only has evidence of living in China. It’s thought to be related to Orangutans. You probably are dismissive of Orangutans because they are only a single ape (actually multiple species) outside of Africa in the present day but the Ponginae subfamily including Orangutans and Gigantopithecus had many other species, they are just now all extinct, but all were Asian: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponginae

That said, I do think there is no evidence that Homo Sapiens “evolved outside of Africa” and I suspect most people who do push this are doing so for either nationalistic reasons (we found early hominin fossils in our country, we must be where humans evolved and are the “original” humans!) or racism (not wanting to be descended from “Africans”). But it’s definitely possible there was gene flow from Homo Erectus outside of Africa back into Africa in a way that made it into the human genome, and many people have non-African human ancestry from Neanderthals and Denisovans
/s aside, can you remember when MM failed in the user-mode?
Sure. I'm not saying Blockchain fulfilled it's promise. I'm just not convinced that every major new thing will be immediately adopted by kids. It seems like it's an orthogonal thing.
I've been using the main Obsidian git extension, https://github.com/denolehov/obsidian-git. Took some work to set it up ergnonomically but it works great now. I enabled auto-commit and push on save, and auto-pull when you start the editor. No merge conflicts yet between two machines.

Should note I use Obsidian for a journal, so it's pretty much append-only.
"Please please put a link to this information on the main site. Anything I'm half interested in using I do a cmd+F "Pricing" and if there aren't results I usually bail."

In this world employee value would be set by the market for their skills, not how their output translates into revenue when pushed through the context of the business' products.
Author here. This is simply a comment on the way that Java refers to the subarrays. I believe most developers would think of the first subarray as being referenced with [0], rather than with no index at all. That's all the comment was intended to point out.
There really is no technical moat. Any new architectures are going to be published because that's 100% the culture and AI folks won't work somewhere where that's not true. Training details/hyperparameters/model "build-ons" aren't published but those are a very weak moat.

The only moat that is meaningful is data and they've got that more than any other player save maybe google. Publishing models doesn't erode that moat, and it's not going anywhere as long as facebook/whatsapp/instagram rule "interactive" social.
But can help and be accelerated by such. As this has been the tune for a long time as things have been presented as being solved. A wild west is how you open back up marketplaces to solve these issues. Especially as those issues are fundamental towards handling a rapid rise of productivity/entropy. This is the challenge of now. And intelligence as a mechanism is an actionable route, versus waiting for people to change perspective. Especially as the question can be whether the current now is capable of even handling an increased amount of Entropy. In addition that rise of Productivity is Unavoidable.
Go has a much more primitive GC, so I wouldn’t expect a positive result from that itself.
users tend to be quite good at flagging most highly political stories, so they disappear off the front page pretty quickly but can still be found by those who really want to engage. The status quo is good imo
Everyone's opinion is it's based on the code they actually work with(And devs have lots of personal projects which adds bias, because they think stuff is a good idea just because it works on 1000 line projects)...

I'm guessing solid and dry are a big part, but lack of cleverness, language choice that doesn't require cleverness, and heavy reuse with libraries and frameworks, and choice of feature complete libraries is probably a lot of the speed.

Something in C is going to be more work than JS or Python or Dart and work takes time. Code you write takes more time than code that already exists, unless the code that exists disappears one day.
you can use graph transformation to perform general computation.

I don't understand the hand-wringing about this. Bun explicitly says, they are a small team working very hard on some hard problems. If that's your idea of a good time, you're free to try and join. If you want a chiller job, there's 1,000 of them out there. It's not like Jarred is some corporate overlord demanding people slave for him while he sips margarita on a beach... he just wants people working on the same frequency as himself.
No contest about the 'bitrate' for eyes and ears, but we don't have to feed kids the entire library of congress in order for them to reason about text. This is what gives me cold feet about the current wave of LLMs. Where is this going? We'll have something that people will dub 'AGI'. It will seem intelligent and may or may not be catastrophic, but whether or not it actually has a sense of self will be an open question, second only to the fact that it requires the power output of Argentina to survive?

Seems like a dumb hack, not an advancement indicative of a thorough understanding of the problem.

If and when, then maybe we can use it to bio-engineer our way to a better future?
This is something I've been wondering for the several years now. Growing up in the Midwest and southern U.S, fireflies use to be common thing to see during summer evenings when it got dark. Now I rarely see them. Even when I do, its usually just a few.
It is default on in win 11, which is probably a huge privacy improvement for a majority of users. The recovery is sent to microsoft with your microsoft account, but against 99% of attacks (petty criminals stealing your laptop) this suffices.

If you fall into the category of users that distrust microsoft with their key, you can take active action and configure bitlocker yourself.
While shadowbanning has been made political, it is a key tool in managing a community. If you ban a troublemaker, they just make a new account. So if you can isolate a troublemaker without them understanding what's happening, you improve the community and reduce the whack-a-mole game.

And ultimately, "freedom of speech" refers to the government silencing speech, not private companies/private websites. We are all guests here, and if someone isn't upholding the standards the people who run this website want people to uphold, then they're free to do whatever they want.
Probably different people responsible for coming up with the range and for making offers.
Yep, there is no doubting what the policy is. But it is reasonable to question whether it is the right policy.
Sanctions seem perfectly fine when a country invades another.

Trade is a privilege, not a right.

That privilege can be improved ( trade agreement) or taken away ( sanctions).

Additionally, the biggest "financial sanction" was from Belgium ( thrown out of SEPA), not the US.

I understand the fear of losing your job or becoming less relevant, but many of us love this work because we're passionate about technology, programming, science, and the whole world of possibilities that this makes... possible.

That's why we're so excited to see these extraordinary advances that I personally didn't think I'd see in my lifetime.

The fear is legitimate and I respect the opinions of those who oppose these advances because they have children to provide for and have worked a lifetime to get where they are. But at least in my case, the curiosity and excitement to see what will happen is far greater than my little personal garden.
Damn, we are living what we used to read in the most entertaining sci-fi literature!

(And that's not to say that I don't see the risks in all of this... in fact, I think there will be consequences far more serious than just "losing a job," but I could be wrong)
A major government contractor such as SpaceX should be especially comfortable with the hundreds of thousands of pages of regulations.
