> The consequences of communism or totalitarianism are well known and have recent precedents for how bad they will be. Climate change is an unknown, but throwing ourselves into the hands of a dictatorship (and that's what a lot of people are advocating, we're already seeing dictatorial rules in the name of climate) we know what will happen.

It's a very popular culturally infused meme, but not really. There are levels of "authoritarianism"...for example:

> People need to stop using climate change to push a political agenda (which is literally all that's done) and get behind building nuclear and carbon capture.

People might benefit from wondering what needs to be done, rather than assuming that their intuition is correct. If we don't desire to know what is true, we may never reach it.
You equated dissatisfaction with life as a mental illness.

Tons of mentally well people share the view. It's everywhere in the spiritual traditions.
Typescript/JavaScript has many of these properties except for GIL and maybe not typically interpreted. That means not a real language? Ruby also has a GIL.

I don’t even know what “proper package management” means in this context. Certainly there’s an official package management system and modules. C++ doesn’t have the latter (very fragmented user efforts and not commonly used in my experience) and barely the former (no adoption). So that means C++ isn’t a real language?

Python does have type checking by the way. Same as TypeScript - you annotate your types and you can run a program to verify your annotations. This is basically how TypeScript works although the typing in the latter is more mature by way of @types packages to let the community supplement adding typing information to third party packages. There’s no relation between the two so it’s not sound (in both cases), but in practice it’s quite useful.

Anyway, it’s a no true Scotsman argument.
The difference really is night and day between a US and UK kettle.

The worst part of the British system though (although I don’t think this has anything to do with voltage, IDK) is there is nowhere to plug-in your razor, hair clippers, hair dryer, toothbrush, curling iron, etc. etc.
Are you kidding? The NHS had £16bn thrown down the toilet the first time it tried to join the 21st century. Why has nobody told them to have a bespoke, OSS setup which runs on VM's which can be transferred to new hardware when necessary?

Public health is not somewhere you make silly choices because "nobody ever got fired for buying X". It's the place where you absolutely make sure you're using the state of the art encryption (reencrypted every time the state of the art moves on), and 100% best practice firewalling.

Or am I just one guy who knows nothing?
Love this! Thank you for sharing (I'm the author).
These are the notes I have for setting this up (in 2019). I am not an Administrator on this PC, it's joined to a corporate domain.

1. In the start menu search for "Services"
2. Double click on "OpenSSH Authentication Agent"
3. Set the startup type to "Automatic"
4. Click "Start" and then OK.

And after that one-time fix it's perfectly usable. It is possible I also had to do something else and forgot to document it.
Kinda interesting that facebook is switching from "real people" generated content (i.e. someone you more or less know) to "random crap" content (not even the tiktok algo). It is like shooting themself into a leg.
I think it's largely a solution for bad UI, both in the web and in the browser.

I have a window open just with YouTube tabs of videos that interest me and that I intend to watch in the near future. As an OS-level window, it has weight and presence. Inside the window I have vertical and nested tabs. So I have videos grouped by topic or just by the rabbit hole I used. I can collapse them, move them around, etc. It's tactile. If I put all those videos into a YouTube playlist, it becomes static. It's a link in a list. It becomes less convenient and natural to add things to the list or even interact with them. There's no nesting, no grouping. Have you tried working with a YouTube playlist? It's abysmal. I'd rather keep them in a more concrete state as a tab which is integrated into my browser's tabs system (or whatever extension I use for it, in this case Sidebery) as part of a window that's a natural part of my OS.

This is all before considering how incredibly bad and basic Chrome and Firefox's history tabs are, which we also end up replacing with hundreds of tabs. I wish I had a vim-like undotree or anything like it to navigate my past tabs. There's a whole spatial component that's missing, whole dimensions missing, and I've never understood why.

You don't manage your Word documents in Word. You use the OS for that. That's pretty much why nobody needs tabs in Word.
It's not, but if it was, I'm sure one would be happy to make it a two-minute job with ChatGPT.
WebGPU sure is a faff to set up with all of these flags and secret settings. It'll be a while before anyone can seriously use this tech in a real product.

The RedPajama one seems to work alright. It still often ends up getting stuck in a loop, though. GTX 1080. prefill: 34.2173 tokens/sec, decoding: 19.8731 tokens/sec

llama-2 is generating pure nonsense for me, just random letters, numbers, and punctuation Vicuna-v1-7b-q4f32_0 is slightly better. None of the fp16 models work on my GPU, I'm guessing it's a hardware limitation.

At least vicuna generates words, but it sure becomes obvious how much these models are just autocorrect. It reads like I'm tapping the word prediction button on my phone's keyboard.

> I watch little TV because of the exact same reason

Maybe you do. But for most people the reason they watch little TV is because the internet is simply better.

So no, not many people would just stop using the internet... unless there is something better.
> It's probably easier to go the other way: identify the largest problems, and try to tackle those. No point trying to fight hundreds of entrenched behaviours and industries to prevent only a fraction of a percent of emissions.

Unfortunately, I think we're passed that point. We need all of it. We need to change our society in a much more fundamental way than most are willing to accept. It's not "just" getting rid of aviation and meat, it's much more. We need to rethink society, and we need to do it now.
Would you expect that in glass bottles too? Is it just in the water supply?
The speed difference is out of this world. I have very long sessions with ChatGPT on the Rust ownership and borrowing system. Its sometimes wrong (would say about 1 in 30 messages), but when it is it becomes clear quite quickly and then I search the internet armed with the new knowledge of terminology and relations within that terminology
Nationalization is not a guaranteed solution because of the dangers of populism.
But do you really want your country to compete with Hollywood and make superhero movies that are indistinguishable from each other?
In addition to US salaries being higher, energy (petrol and gas and electricity, each of them) are significantly more expensive in Europe.

Random US person, imagine if your salary was cut in half, auto gas cost $6/gallon, and your monthly utility bill tripled. You'd think hard about your consumption.

I used to work at Rally, who's product is literally to facilitate Scrum. We did not use Scrum. At one point we thought we needed to dog food better and tried using Scrum, and that lasted a few weeks. We used Kanban instead, and it worked pretty well. I think it's more realistic, doesn't get in the way as much and allows coordination and prioritization to more naturally happen. The downside is Kanban takes skill and experience to pull off well, which could be said about Scrum too.
The main dish is fixed, they move(d) the receiver around to steer it, with a paraboloidal dish that would not work (because the focal point would be fixed).
There's no mention of reproductive health at all. It's a neurological study with some extra data attached. "Thus, we proposed to investigate the effect that exposure to MPs has on young and old C57BL/6J mice, focusing on neurobehavioral effects, inflammatory response, as well as translocation and accumulation of MPs in tissues, including the brain".

That does not in any way explain a drop of 95%, which IMO is ridiculous and points to other issues.

The system they created now is totally different from the one they had. It’s more efficient by an insane margin. Choice of language seems like it would have trouble breaking the top 5 major reasons.
There was a very interesting discussion recently on this topic. [1]

There are various hypothesis:

* changes to gut microbiome composition due to modern diets and overuse of antibiotics

* excessive cleanliness and hygiene. The "hygiene hypothesis" suggests that lack of exposure to diverse microbes leads to improperly trained immune systems

* increased exposure to chemicals, plastics, and pollutants that may disrupt immune function

* Cesarean sections and formula feeding rather than vaginal birth and breastfeeding

What personal definition are you using for “burnt out”? Did you just not like your last job? Was it too hard for you? Were the hours too long? Did you not like management?
There's an article in American Journal of Men's Health:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9134445/

> In summary, semen quality in men has declined significantly over the last 80 years, with sperm concentration dropping to approximately one seventh of its original value. This timing coincides with the development of plastics.

Not a bad hypothesis.
Of course there's a difference, but if the incident causes a fire that then spreads, that is very bad in either case. It's more likely the law exists from the fire concern than out of concern for the pilots, and the law is just waiting for an update to catch up with a world that has more drones.
One full of daemons.
We can reduce the ingested quantity. That's about all.
If the consumers consume twice as much then energy production will pollute twice as much, that's exactly my point.
If a company already uses Google APIs, integrating a new API from Google may be easier than integrating a new provider. So for Google, there's certainly a market, even if they have to source the raw data.
I've tried to sign up to ask there but unfortunately doesn't work. I can't seem to be able to keep logged in. Tried everything I could.
Is Exxon saying that? It sounds like this article is combining Exxon’s profit forecast of “the world will use 25 billion metric tons of oil in 2050” with the IPCC’s “that won’t be enough to keep below 2 degrees” report, whether or not Exxon actually acknowledges the latter
Like good old late 80s, when the world was on the brink of a nuclear apocalypse?

It's pretty good. You can highlight a passage and then it pops up a box for you to type in.

However, Lua doesn't support native Android keyboards - so you have to use a virtual keyboard https://github.com/koreader/koreader/issues/7423
There is a problem with "overlapping" conditions. If multiple conditions in a elif statement would evaluate to true, then the first of these conditions is chosen. For this dictionary approach, the last occurrence of `True` as a key is chosen.

The two are not so easily translatable I guess, considering further conditions usually have the built-in assumption that all preceding conditions were evaluated to false.
I like their quiz feature -- very helpful
Running into a similar situation, would love to hear people's thoughts.
You can also subsidize clean energy, which is what we've been doing.
I would be interested in this too. Also from my laymen understanding it should be not that hard to develop filters for at least larger particles. Or is that too simple thought out?
You can provide the Starlink receiver for a set cost and receive a fairly stable return on that investment for this village, you cannot buy a stable government which prioritizes education and health with any amount of money. This is not a fair comparison.

Re: Ukraine, again, Starlink had a fairly significant positive impact, both as a military asset and as humanitarian aid. Ending the Russian invasion? That's something that half the world wants right now and billions have been spent towards that goal. It's an even more ridiculous comparison. If you want a fair comparison compare Starlink to actual competing types of aid.
> Following that logic, do we really need anything? Let's just regress 1000 years?

I think we can agree that we need peace, food, shelter. The thing is that for most people on Earth, it's really not clear that they will keep that in their current life. And it's not just a "only poor countries will be in a bad situation". We're talking global instability now. What happens when you have famines in Europe?
wow, just wow. Goodluck with your search pal.
i recommend you open a dictionary and look for the definition of "nuance"
If 5% of the people on the road are victims and 95% of the people drive huge cars just because they feel like it, can't they be blamed?
Did you though? Can you remember any of those solutions that ChatGPT provided or why? Or are you now going to ChatGPT more and more because easier?
I think micro-plastics and "forever" chemicals will be our generation's asbestos/cigarettes controversy.
Do you know if there are plans to publish more recent numbers, the newest one is a year old.

I'll definitely take a look at JustJS, that's an impressive ranking!!!
Do you have that example posted anywhere? I'm curious to see it. Also, any support for the Wifi and/or Bluetooth on Pi Pico W from Rust?
forgive the nitpicking but "second system syndrome" usually means that re-architecting goes wrong because of bloat[0].

This is the opposite case, when lessons learned in the first write are actually useful for a second rewrite.

I think the commonly associated soundbite is "build one to throw away."

Me too, but then I see everyone hosting their code on github and I’m not quite sure what the substantial difference is.
Yes, we wouldn't want to produce output that perpetuates harmful stereotypes about people who live in gingerbread houses; dangerously over-estimates the suitability of hair for safely working at height; or creates unrealistic expectations about the hospitality of people with dwarfism.

I wonder if this sort of behaviour was more nuanced in the initial model, and something like quantisation has degraded the performance?
On a related note, what's superior about Elixir compared to Erlang if we disregard Phoenix?
I am a huge fan of Sidebery, but it really highlights how messed up Mozilla is. Not only have they failed to provide a native vertical tab solution, but then you go to turn off the damn horizontal ones and you have to jump through convoluted hoops by enabling the userChrome.css and then figuring out where the hell to put the file and all of this for one edit. Yeah sure, I have figured it out (and have to re figure every time I install FF), but there is no way that I could ever tell a random user to switch to vertical. I cannot fathom how Mozilla could not add a checkbox to their anemic settings menu.
The blog post mentions too many meetings. Its the 15m daily everyday, then a retro and a planning once per sprint. I understand it is too much for a one-week sprint (as stated in the post) but how is that too much otherwise? Seems exaggerated to have a four week sprint because of those two moments. In fact, I would argue that having longer sprints means longer meetings (if you're having a productive retro you'll have a lot more to talk about during four weeks than two)

And how is having meetings a negative thing for remote work? Remote shouldn't mean "no interaction". Remote should adapt for collaboration.
oh, believe me, regulations would be lobbied. I.e. to run an AI model as a part of some service, you would need to get certification (a lot of money). Even now you could see a couple of talks on tech conferences from "non-profit" organisations. Also, web services are highly centralised, so there are all the chances to get highly centralised AI services too.

Semantic Markup for Callouts
I thought they already didn't use input data from the API to train; that it was only the consumer-facing ChatGPT product from which they'd use the data for training. It is opt-in for contributing inputs via API.

https://help.openai.com/en/articles/5722486-how-your-data-is...

That said, for enterprises that use the consumer product internally, it would make sense to pay to opt-out from that input being used.
I think the interesting part of that is, is there money in it? I could see it being useful for hobbyists that don't care about programming that much, but would you pay for that?
Messi, Beckham etc. All labor rather than capital
To be fair, “the last 80 years” coincides with a lot of stuff. The world has changed a lot since the 1940s. Isolating plastics as a cause and accounting for all other variables is next to impossible.
The beam just garbage collects each actor separately, and it so happens that much of the time your actor has finished before a gc happened so you never see the cleanup.

The beam also has a spectacular failure mode: OOM whenever messages come in at a higher rate than they are processed. The lack of backpressure mechanisms mean a huge amount of beam language developers spend way too much time recreating their own way for dealing with this or pretend it is not a problem at all. This means too many libraries in the ecosystem behave totally differently under load.
Tbf, it also coincides with the development of many other things.
Where / How are you finding Pinterest links?

I've just searched about two years of browser history and i haven't landed their once.
If you've ever played their Arx Fatalis game you'll see a lot of familiar things in Dark Messiah.

I remember one of the reviews called the game something like "The adventures of sir-kicks-a-lot in the land of dangerous spikes".
While you are probably right it's also true that python is just straight up slow - especially in normal configurations (django, flask, uwsgi, lambdas, etc) and elixir is pretty fast while offering a great/fun/friendly dev experience + BEAM-HA/scaling-benefits.

They could have also blown everything out of the water with C++ - or probably even golang - but if elixir can do it on 2-4 boxes it's fast enough.
By centralisation I don't necessarily mean of the models. It might be the training, training your own model requires expensive hardware (even just a high end graphics card is out of reach for most of the world).

But also, a model running on your phone generating AI content is likely to be cheaper and not as good as human curated content in whatever form that is.

I think compute can be decentralised, while the power is still centralised, or at least those at the low end lose out on quality.
I bought a tub of BCAA powder from Ghost and was horrified after finding a large spidery plastic blob buried in there. I went to Burger King and looked inside the burger randomly which I never do and found plastic. Theres a microplastic issue but theres also a large plastic issue in food. Often times you do even notice when you eat it.
I could have sworn I saw someone on here a few weeks ago saying how they switched their router to openBSD and ended up in some horrible broken state after a power outage or something. I can’t recall the details, maybe someone else would recall.
While you have their attention:

Where are native vertical tabs? Or at least a settings checkbox to turn horizontal tabs off.
Big corporations have a habit of promoting open source, then gullible developers produce exceptional work from which said big corporations make millions or billions without paying a penny back.

Then developers learn they can't pay bills with exposure tokens and employment doesn't offer the lifestyle they had hoped for.

But there is no worry, they get replaced by next cohort of gullibles believing in open source.

What I am trying to say, it should be illegal for big corporations to use open source without paying royalties to all contributors.
What happens when you have 10 bids against 2 asks? 8 orders are not going to get filled even though they were the first to transact. Some would call that not fair.
> especially because you didn’t acknowledge my first paragraph that explained why they weren’t acting like classmates themselves (which was a major theme/point in the article/blog post lol. It’s in the title).

Because it seemed very irrelavent to if they were good faith researchers. I dont know if i agree - critiquing classmates designs is a quintessential classmate activity - but regardless i don't understand how this connects to the rest of your point. Say they weren't acting as classmates. How does that change anything about if they were acting as good faith security researchers, which is the point under contention.

> All I did was form an opinion based on his summary of the events for this specific HN post

Just because its an opinion doesn't make you not responsible for it.

I don't know what was in these people's hearts and minds. They could be secretly evil for all i know. However i think its morally wrong to call someone immoral without positive evidence they were acting wrongly or had bad intentions. Yet you seem comfortable calling them immoral basically on the sole basis that the work took place on a friday and a misreading of a document that they referenced but not even in the part of the document they were referencing? You allege they have an ulterior motive but you don't even put forth what that motive might be. Like respectfully, i think that's kind of a shitty thing to do. These are real people and deserve to be judged based on the facts and what can be drawn from the facts.
MalDoc in PDF – Detection bypass by embedding a malicious Word file into a PDF
I was thinking about TequilaCat the other day, in my current quest to find a good FLOSS one-size-fits-all multi format reader for Android. KOreader is clumsy, MuPDF Viewer is quite nice and minimalistic, Librera FD has lots of options but I still can't tell what bothers me.

I think it truly shows how much has changed, as a teenager I didn't care the text only format, sometimes even awfully formatted, if I could read something from my phone while commuting to school.
Sometimes I think of Scrum as the thing that teaches you why (and how) you actually want Kanban.
