> $31.66 a month for a wordpress hosting plan is an absolute rip-off.

Today, maybe. For the human costs of hosting support in 2123, given the cost of inflation, it might not be, and these plans include technical support.

(Although you could also that the technical support work on most of these 100-year plans should be dropping over time too - especially if the human being involved passes away. You could even argue that AI might be doing the technical support in 2123.)
Yeah I did a bad job of explaining myself. I was thinking of border searches as a subset of the protections of privacy (in the U.S., operationalized as protections against unreasonable search and seizure). Overall people tell the police to fuck off all the time when they come asking, and you have strong protections when you're doing that. The police rely heavily on people not knowing their rights.
So many words to defend the indefensible. Its not a "war", it is asserting the collective will of an entire continent (made up of fairly diverse cultures and a long history of painful social strife, political and racial oppression and persecution). The aim is to close Pandora's box that was (as it happened) opened by the amoral and asocial advertising industry that cannot see beyond its (admittedly long) nose.

The issue is not advertising, the issue is the construction, classification and use of human profiles through the collection of behavioral data, by-and-large without the subjects being aware or cognizant of the possible short and long-term implications. Once that practice has been legitimized and proven ultra-lucrative and empowering for its practitioners it has undermined the very foundation of digital society.

Just to be clear, there is nothing the adtech industry can do to assure us that behavioral targeting can be made safe. The large scale processing of human behavioral data followed by the direct algorithmic application of real life actions is a weapon of mass social destruction. It is inherently dangerous and should be outlawed. Full stop.

There is a case to be made for taming the nuclear energy of behavioral data in reactors (as opposed to bombs). But the architecture of such systems will be dramatically different to the digital wild-west regime that has been inflicted on society. Consequently also highly regulated with countless lead layers of protection (and thus also far less lucrative / interesting for the digital cowboys).
Your suggested tasks, notes, and bookmarks are much needed, similar to features in apps like Trello, Todoist, Notion, etc.

Combining plain-text interaction with graphical views is cool. Multiplatform sync is a plus.

However, many of these features already exist in some apps.

In 2023, it's surprising that there's no app yet to plan our day based on priority and thought process, aided by AI and more.

Seems like AGI is still far off.

I think it is right and proper that low-income victims of labor law crimes don't need to be able to afford attorneys to resolve grievances, and that there exist public institutions that litigate on their behalf, for free.
First thing I thought of was Ze.

His original 365 days of vlogging experiment still makes me emotional when I think about it. That was the power of the internet realized.
I'm sure it's comfortable and works for most people.

To me there is just a difference between comfortable and great.

It's a powerful story, and frankly, it boosted my confidence. Thank you.
I think my problem here is that everyone just assumes an extra condition. The question "if Tokyo is in France, then the Eiffel Tower is in Bolivia" is not the same as "is the Eiffel Tower in Bolivia" and the statement of

all(m=="white" for m in marbles)

is not the same as "For all x, if x is a marble and x is in the bag, then x is white". The statement is more "For all x in the bag, is x white?" and the answer to that is either "No, nothing is not white" or "Question is not applicable".
I think that rocket scientists are usually cherished by totalitarian regimes, not persecuted.
I have this weird split. I really like to follow CPU and GPU tech, and I enjoy reading about nerdy stuff like consensus algorithms and esoteric programming languages whatnot even though I'll probably never use them.

But "smart" phones and apps? Meh, as long as they work I couldn't care less. Never have.
Aaaah, that's cool! That makes sense.

It's amazing what you can explain with evolution. I wonder how much of it is real and how much of it is, "well, it sounds like it makes sense."

But this definitely makes sense.

I'm not sure how you could explain "career woman" tho, who chooses not to have kids. Tho I'm sure there's like a civilizational advantage to that behavior (aside from the obvious "economic" ones).

I suppose an argument could be made that, people prefer other people who share similar genes, so a powerful woman who rises in the business world, can then favor those with whom she shares genes (and increase their reproductive fitness, if not her own directly), thereby increasing the survivability of their offspring. The same could be said for a man, however. I don't think that makes a difference. In a sense, those who eschew their direct line to accrue worldly power may end up benefiting their "genes" in a different way to those who reproduce conventionally.

Not to take a negative slant at all, but humorously, a sort of post-modernist "deconstructed" nepotism, I suppose, haha!

What was Fukuyama's argument in end of history, again? I don't know, but I suppose at some point you get an "end of evolution" where civilization takes over and there's no obvious "reproductive fitness" any more to explain behaviors, it's more like "civilizational fitness". But, looking at the above, it seems that our genes may run rings around such suppositions already! Our clever genes! So very selfish!

One note in your link: I saw It also fails to explain the detrimental effects of losing ovarian follicular activity but I disagree, I think that physical decline provides opportunities for relatives to provide care, which likely increases social bonds, and enhances the Grandmother's "genetic nurturing" Effect. So if we assume the original hypothesis is true, physical decline would be a development that supports and enhances that effect, and so likely to occur. A truly noble sacrifice, on the part of the Grandmother, and all at the hands of the selfish genes, haha!
imagine that we are discussing "proving" a law with historical data from our POV but at the time, it must've seem like a theory at best or comical at the least.

Yeah, iPad Mini is great. I bought it a year ago and it replaced my iPad Pro 2018 which is too big to take out and hide often. I think iPad Mini is the ideal device for smart people. Only a little bit worse in performance, it can be seen when heated.

All kinds of spies in all kinds of projects existed in American history. SpaceX being a relatively new organization and the roles they hire are both not immune to this. For example, “Klaus Emil Julius Fuchs (29 December 1911 – 28 January 1988) was a German theoretical physicist and atomic spy who supplied information from the American, British and Canadian Manhattan Project to the Soviet Union during and shortly after World War II.” from Wikipedia.

great useful comment
Thanks. I have added a section about `findmnt` to the page. I'll expand the section later.

Edit: It seems an adequate replacement for `df` and `mount`. Can it print a block device tree organized by device name like `lsblk`? I have skimmed the man page and not found options for it.

then whats the point of getting the domain(s) at birth.
Most of the time you get a new client and they have a website with a theme and plugins that haven't seen updates in years because the authors abandoned them. You have to constantly fix them. Even if you create the website yourself you really have no way of knowing for how long it will be supported, and even then, you are not going to do a complete security audit of the codebase.

For example because of latest updates to PHP 8 they have deprecated the $var{key} syntax - who the fuck uses that?! I did not even know it existed until some of my clients' websites crashed after I updated PHP.

It's an absolute minefield since we moved on to the PHP 7 branch. I am glad for PHP because the language sucked before because of how lenient it was. But it creates a lot of work for me.

What devs are getting hired for $162k/year without a decent group plan with only a fairly token employee contribution?
Sorry, I don't understand how the plan becomes cheaper after factoring in inflation.

Wordpress is asking you to make a one-time payment of $38k NOW. Not in the future.

Inflation means $38k right now is worth a lot more than it will be worth in the future.

So I don't understand how you came to the conclusion that the plan is cheaper after taking inflation into account.
Yes it's awful. I guess we've had areshole programs that say "I could do that ... but I won't!" for a while (e.g. some PDFs try to stop you printing them, some websites try to stop right click)... But this is the first time that the program can be condescending about it too.
Particles unlike waves bounce off each other. For all the wavelike behavior in QM, bouncing just doesn’t fit.
This is definitely interesting. At 7% annualised, those $38K would deliver around $33M over 100 years. Keeping a simple website up for those kinds of gains seems like a no-brainer. Hosting is cheap. Especially as most of these are going to be very low-traffic personal websites serving mostly cached static pages.

It seems like the best way to guarantee that something runs for 100 years, actually; build an investment fund whose mandate is to keep some basic websites up on a couple cheap servers.

Edit: Even if technology changes, that's just a maintenance job every year - keeping the underlying infrastructure updated. Some years it will be cheap, some years it'll be a bit more costly, but ultimately it's not impossible at all, especially if they've got a big number of clients (and thus a big fund to draw from).
I have a very high confidence that DNS survives.

And I would not bet against http, html and fundamental E/R databases. Http and html evolution can be managed by Wordpress inc. The database migrated.

I am worried that a cobol/VB style like decline of PHP is too much for the company. Because maintaining PHP is most likely very costly. But I might overrate this.

Ask HN: Do LLMs even have moat?
I have been using LLM lately and I started to realize, I didn't care which LLM I was using. Sometimes, I used ChatGPT, and sometimes, Poe. As long as it gave a decent answer and I verified it was corrent, I didn't care. I feel like LLMs are a commodity and there isn't much of a moat. In a few years, many of them will simply be a commodity. OpenAI's lead will be vanish when open source versions catch up. Thoughts?

It doesn't suck, it's been destroyed for the sake of control.
Oh, certainly. The number of client websites I’ve seen with strange custom themes is way too high (I’ve seen one, and we were the client apparently).
The ability to hook it into frameworks like streamlit would be huge. Sorta like llama-cpp-python

be decent people

it seems harder than it should be, but yes, this is the crux of most of the worlds problems. if we want to create a better future for ourselves, the primary problem we need to address is how to get people to care for others and just be decent people.

there is only one way to address this for the long term. better education. we need to stop focusing on just STEM and realize that an important goal of education needs to be to teach everyone to be better people.
In a few hours. But I've been thinking about what to write for a week. First I'll come up with 1000 blog titles (I've come up with 400 post ideas. but I'm having a hard time coming up with them now.) Then it will be easier for me to write.

Of course, I have some blog post ideas, but it may take weeks to make them. We'll see about that in time.
There's a perfect use case for this: if you think your company stands a chance of running out of money in the future, but you just got an infusion of VC funding now... $38K isn't a large amount.

$38K is an insurance policy that will keep the marketing front end of your company's site online "forever", long after you run out of VC money and shutter the company. Keeps your vanity up and running, your fond memories.

It turns your hosting costs from a monthly expense to a "permanent" capital expense that's already paid for.
I don’t really know, not what I do.

I have my own domain(s) and my kids could have subdomains as DNS intended ;)
What did he actually say?

What is the desktop going to be?

Seems like just a list of empty feelgood to me.
Ah, that is why all TCS, Infosys and Wipro folks I work with, rather get a way to stay in Germany than go back home, what a set of fouls giving up on such salaries.
The curse of Eastern Europe, to die and empty out. It's the same in my country. Life in the UK and Germany > at home.

And it's an exponential process, for every 1 person, 5 probably leave. My hometown was nearly 100k in the 80s, down to 50k if that by now. And it's mostly elderly, children, who grow up, go to the capital or just immigrate.
So an extra ~4k take home.

Invest that on the side and you'll have built a fortune within a decade and a half, while your German friend has nothing significant in savings and is still living hand to mouth.

And we haven't even mentioned the differences in career steepness: After a few years it's not 80k vs 160k anymore, but more like 90-100k vs 200k+.

Also if you compare the best places in each country than you are looking at something like 100k vs 300-400k.

Again, I have been trying really hard to see if all the benefits you mention really offset this monetary discrepancy, but it's just too huge.

My opinion is that we should stop obsessing about storing everything and anything. It's unhealthy...we're accumulating too much. Almost everything on the internet is not worth preserving.
To opt-in to something means to consent to it, to enable it, to take action to have it.

So "opt-in by default" doesn't make any sense.

However, I do see this opposite usage increasingly often, which means "opt-in" shouldn't be used any more.

Using "on by default", "enabled by default", "off by default", "disabled by default" would be clear and make sense.
Klaus Fuchs may not have been committed to spying when he arrived in Britain, but his case is close enough to show that spy infiltration under the guise of being a refugee is not out of the question (I believe there were even cases of precisely this in West Germany, but I don't recall a specific case offhand.)

Given the legal channels for immigration into the USA, having a technically-skilled spy infiltrate as a refugee may not make much sense, but that's a different argument. Furthermore, the arguments against infiltrating that way are based on the uncertainty of it succeeding and length of time it takes, not the false assumption that refugees are condemned to working in low-skill occupations.
I included that bit down in the FAQ, but good thinking to move it up top.
I don't think every reader will read them all. For example, I know a lot of blogs, but I don't read every post. I will share in certain categories. Those who are interested will follow those categories. At that time, there will be 1 or 2 posts a day for him.
Yet we're repeatedly told that every single migrant entering the UK illegally is a desparate refugee fleeing war or persecution?
Right, the significance of the original article and the related field of research is that ChatGPT-like models don't handle tabular data well and there's a lot of need for things that do.

I have a planned a web api. Are you looking for python binding? I'm interested to know. The issues would keep me organized.
It's... not expensive at all? Companies don't do their own investigations. The FBI does them, and they charge the same rate for everyone. If the clearance application fee is what's going to break your company, you've got some bigger problems.

I've worked for several DoD contractors. The question on the job application is "is there anything that would prevent you from obtaining a clearance?" It's not "are you a citizen or green card holder?"

And all that doesn't even really matter. Export controlled information is Controlled, Unclassified Information (CUI). It's one of the lowest grades of information we handle. It's in the name, you don't need a clearance to have access to it. Thus you don't need an investigation. The most you need is a background check, which most companies do for everyone, anyway.
So you believe that your website made today will still be a good marketing tool 100 years from now?

Look, how old is internet right now? How much did it change since the beginning? How often do you look at a product online on an early-90s website and think "oh, that's good marketing"?

I don't think any serious business should see this as a "perfect use case". Just a big waste of money, that is.
Watching movies/series is noticeably better on a 10" screen. I suppose the same can be true for some games.

Other than that, I don't see much extra value for tablets either.
Today for sure. But if someone twenty years ago said I could have 100 years of Starbucks lattes for $2/each, it would have turned out to be a great deal. It depends if hosting is affected by inflation or not.
As I get older, I realize that learning new stuff all the time is a mugs game. 90% of shiny new things will be irrelevant in a few years.

So I'm fairly cautious about what I bother to learn. I'll grudgingly learn new stuff if my work requires it, but mostly I coast on my decision to learn python 15 years ago.

There was a great 787 comment thread a couple years ago where people came up with all sorts of better ideas, but for 500 years.

It wouldn't surprise me if that thread was the inspiration.

I think it's a clever offering by WordPress. I wouldn't pay for it, but it's an interesting technical challenge to think about!
This article covers three commands, and the two I use the most--df and lsblk--don't seem easily covered by "findmnt"?
I admit to a feeling of hopelessness discussing this well-worn topic on HN, but in my case I use my own iPad for reading books, annotating PDFs, taking notes, writing mails, watching videos, drawing, surfing the web, watching sport, listening to music, lightweight coding, using as an extra screen and probably other things I’ve forgotten.

The kids have used it to shoot and edit stop-motion movies, and ‘compose’ music.

As I said, at least one person I know keeps three people (including herself) in a home and fed, in one of the world’s most expensive cities.

But apparently this is only what “Apple allow us to do”.
I have absolutely no sympathy for the airlines. As I write this, I’m in the process of suing a well-known Canadian airline for lying about conditions leading to a flight cancellation. Unfortunately this is not a rare occurrence based on the forum I participate in.

Point being, they can shove their terms and conditions. They can start by following the law.
Having grown up in 80s/90s, I also start getting older.

While I don't care for technology like "do X with an app" where I know X can also be done without an app, I do get excited for actual real new tech with substance. LLM's, self driving cars once they truly work, much higher video resolutions than the past, etc...
> I think the JSON.parse() issue is fundamental -- it's not clear what they could have done better, and static languages don't really do better.

The best solution, IMO, is to give up on "no type-directed emit" (which harms the language in lots of other ways as well) and derive appropriate parsers at compile-time. Parsing malformed data should fail immediately, not just when you try to use the broken parts. This is a solved problem in C#, C++, Haskell, and no doubt many other languages.

Failing that, it should return an appropriate `JSON` type. Something along the lines of

type Field = string | number | boolean | null | JSON
type JSON = {[key in string]?: Field } | Field[]
Not really for 2. I have a MBA and it heats up when I do an OCR of a scanned book. And I don’t want touch friendly app on MacOs, I actually like the dense UI found in IDEs and graphic softwares because, they’re very efficient with the mouse. 13-14 inch is the perfect screen size for me (16 if I wanted to work on the go). But it would be unwieldy as a tablet.
Right now what’s being shared is little more than a conspiracy theory

“SpaceX is building Super Heavy for PR” has as much credence as UFO kidnappings. OP wants it to be that way so it must be that way. That’s the only way I can read this insistence and the lack of evidence pointing towards it. If OP was saying “Starship is being build to carry the Roswell alien bodies back to the dark side of the moon” the amount of evidence indicating this would be similar, but no one would take OP seriously
There is no pricing or availability info in the article or the company's website. Pretty lame. Is this a real product or not? These days its hard to know if the video is even real or AI generated.
Agreed and yes would be awesome... But currently this does not infer large meta 7b model efficiently - like 1 token or lower per seconds. But the small toy story (not so useful) models are fast.

If the above mentioned API / python binding is ready, I'll make a streamlit interface demo. The streamlit demo should be simple. But I have to figure out python binding.
The limitations removed by a computer is the size of my working memory. Draw a line, type something, or whatever and suddenly it stops competing for space in my head. The idea space I can explore with a computer is so many orders of magnitude larger it’s practically unbound by comparison.

However, by saving those thoughts to a computer suddenly they are more likely to be tweaked than discarded. I’m not bound to include them they just get sticky and slow down my exploration of novel ideas.

A whiteboard lends itself to constantly erasing things rather than meaningless tweaks. Collaborate with a few people and nobody suggests moving a box you just drew on a whiteboard, but on a computer someone will want to move it around. The capacity itself becomes a distraction.
