I would guess it's probably because the rest of the industry is happily wasting hardware and bandwidth because they can afford it.

If the whole industry had been stuck on hardware and bandwidth from 10 years ago, that most likely wouldn't be a problem.

I had a little break from work, but I'd like to get back into business. I've spent pretty much my entire career working on C++ projects. The last seven years I worked at Arm on Mali GPUs, focusing mainly on GPU Compute. I consider myself generalist and thus I'm okay working with any technology. I'm also a team player and I'm very flexible - I can pick up various roles (team lead, team manager, test manager, scrum master - been there, done that).

I'm a self-taught programmer looking for a first job while I'm in university and figure my career out!

I'm into physics so if your project is anything science or education-related, it's a big plus for me.
Bro really thinks every white person got their own personal "end jim crow button" too and everyone just uniformly refused to press it I guess lol

again, commoners of any form (let alone one single commoner working alone) are not going to be able to just do one simple trick and upend an oppressive power structure, it's a better place than being in the fuckbarrel but the point is oppressive power structures don't leave anyone a recourse, if your title doesn't begin with "senator" it doesn't really matter what you think or do.

there is of course one option, the last of the boxes. but if you aren't willing to fight for what you believe in then, yeah, you're effectively consenting to the society you are offered by political elites. consent can still be withdrawn, but in an oppressive power structure that's usually going to be a violent process.

like I am just telling you outright: soapbox, ballot box, and jury box are all effectively powerless to overturn the problems in american society, by design (that's why it's oppressive). and you can either live with that, and the society thus pressed upon you warts and all, or not. some random march for george floyd or voting blue every election is not going to fix america. keyboard warriorism (including this comment) certainly is not going to do it either.

nobody actually walks away from omelas - and omelas news network thinks you're crazy for even suggesting there could be anything better. We all - you and me and every other law-abiding, taxpaying citizen - accept this society knowing that it exists on the back of the largest slave/gulag population on the planet, and an arbitrary and capricious (and usually politicized) "justice" system that could randomly condemn any of us to that slavery and a permanent mark of underclass. We all accept the idea that our attempts at reforms will not do more than trivial and meaningless amounts of good through our lifetimes. And yet we stay and participate.

https://shsdavisapes.pbworks.com/f/Omelas.pdf

You're not helping. Why is that, Leon? Why do you consent?

(I consent to omelas too, I just want you to consciously make your own decision in full knowledge of the consequences and responsibility of your actions. Every day you wake up and go about your life, you do it on the backs of the police state and the carceral state/gulag archipelago it has imposed upon us, and even rattling the bars of your cage a bit by voting or activism will not change this.)
This is exactly what this is about, as are many of the layoffs we're seeing. Labor got too much negotiating power during the pandemic, this is the capitalist class reasserting control.
Same goes for mandatory reporting that teachers do in Australia. The resources available to investigate are only able to cope with those who are in "immediate danger of losing their lives".

That's an unbelievably depressingly low bar for society.
The good news, young parents, is you have a couple years to get it together. A infant wants to see your smiling face, but also won’t be scarred for life if you sometimes look away at a screen. Commit yourself to setting a good example, work on it, and know that while you will slip, you’ve also got time to improve.

Some good steps are zero phones at family eating times, kid book time, and kid bed time. I personally also think it’s important you are visibly alone when you are on a screen, in other words don't let your kids see you ignoring another adult for the screen. Like a modern smoke break.
There's absolutely no reason to have civil forfeiture when criminal forfeiture exists. If you think money is the product of a crime, seize it, and charge the person with a crime. If you can't prove the crime then the money gets returned.

To capture material similar to TFA, a 5" diameter (127 mm) telescope would do (here perhaps a larger one was used, but in bad seeing conditions [1]), e.g. a cheap $100-$200 Newtonian. Add a reasonable mount (~$400) and a camera (one can start with a converted webcam, or get a dedicated model - typically sporting higher FPS, better sensors, also mono, etc.; those start at $150-$200). A lot of popular software for mount control, video acquisition, image processing is free (and often open-source). The best source of knowledge are astronomy forums, e.g. [2], [3], [4], and country-specific ones.

To see what's possible with amateur-grade equipment, go to AstroBin.com; e.g., Jupiter with 14" telescope:

https://www.astrobin.com/bzxs52/?q=jupiter%20c14

(Shameless plug: I have some Jupiter shots and time lapses in my gallery [5] as well. Sadly, no impacts caught - yet!)

Lastly, for lunar/solar/planetary imaging light pollution is not an issue - they're bright enough.

If you want to learn about symbolic AI, there are a lot of more recent sources than PAIP (you could try the first half of AI: A Modern Approach by Russel and Norvig), and this has been true for a while.

If you read PAIP today, the most likely reason is that you want a master class in Lisp programming and/or want to learn a lot of tricks for getting good performance out of complex programs (which used to be part of AI and is in many ways being outsourced to hardware today).

None of this is to say you shouldn't read PAIP. You absolutely should. It's awesome. But its role is different now.
It seems the direction of flow would be the opposite: LLMs are a great source of logical data for Cyc-like things. Distill your LLM into logical statements, then run your Cyc algorithms on it.
That law (https://www.legis.iowa.gov/legislation/BillBook?ba=SF546&ga=...) appears to only apply to minors.

Other states definitely require formal education for teenagers to get their licenses. I'm not sure if any require it for adults.
Where I live, drivers routinely exceed the speed limits by 10-20 km. This is so routine that if you don’t drive faster than the speed limit, you will invariably get honked at.

These drivers then have the audacity to suggest that cyclists are the problematic rule breakers on the road.

The attacks "evil maid" described by a poster above are impossible.

Even with physical access, the computer does not have any boot loader or kernel or any other executable that could be altered.

The attack described in the thread title also does not work, because the computer cannot boot. Even after booting from their own device, attackers cannot do anything useful. Reading the encrypted SSD will not provide any information and writing it will be detected later. The SSD does not have any non-encrypted sector.

Obviously I do not keep the USB key with the computer, especially when the computer is not with me. It is never put in the computer backpack.

Of course, if someone would watch me to discover how I start the computer and then they would capture me with all my belongings and then they would do a thorough search they might find the key and they might torture me to get the passphrase.

Nevertheless, against this kind of threats, there are no computer solutions. The only thing that would work would be the use of armed guards.

On the other hand, my method is not vulnerable to trivial attacks that could be done without my knowledge, like the one described in the thread title.
Some ISAs are definitely more complex than they should, but RISC-V/x86 is the least of my problem if the goal is to interpret some windows/macos/linux binary. The complexity goes beyond a list of instructions.

As for licensing I agree that it can be seen as a step in the right direction, but at the same time it seems like we absolutely refuse to learn.

All standards inevitably deprecate, I'd prefer every hardware manufacturers to come up with their own one-off ISA and an easy way to run/interpret existing applications.

Software ecosystems are more about locking you to a specific vendor/standard, they prevent the emergence of better systems.
Apparently Ventana has only one US office but two offices in India.

I don't understand why you take issue with that statement, it sounds descriptive as an attitude that may be common in the audience but perhaps you are interpreting it as the author endorsing that view? i.e. I imagine they might agree with you.

I didn't interpret what they said in this way.

I have yo agree with them that it is hard to say what a species is "meant to do". We have certainly done what we have done, but who is to say that was our purpose? Beyond "successfully produce offspring at a rate to maintain the species" I think it's hard to prescribe an intended purpose.
I get what you are saying and I can agree with that. It would be nice if that level of performance was their main concern. However, we are talking about an org that never has full dev staffing and has a lot of turnover and needs to respond to business needs quickly. I would not want to be trying to hire Go devs in that situation.

They have banished AWS..."competitor." A company that can easily justify their own infrastructure (and save a ton of money) is plunging into the Microsoft Azure hot mess. I could go on and on about a lot of other issues brewing there. Very dysfunctional and panicy trying to look hip to investors in comparison to Wal-Mart and AWS. Basically dragged kicking and screaming into online ordering and pickup/delivery and trying to act like it was their idea (very much had/have a browse-in-store sell you more crap you don't need model).

I'm a life long customer of many of their stores and have been plugged into their tech issues via various contacts for about a decade.
I've thought about cellular apple watches, as a way to know where the kid is, and so the kid can call in an emergency. Seems better than a phone, which encourages scrolling.

But my kids' school doesn't allow kids to wear smartwatches (and I can imagine why — distractions, possible cheating, etc.). Have you dealt with restrictions like these?
The article keeps saying that Apple has responded or that Apple has clarified and then linking other Wired articles. Is there an Apple press release somewhere? If so, I'd rather read that.

I was certainly interested in working at Cycorp full-time. But after two summers there, I could tell that the technical approach they were taking was just not working.

My first summer, I was an ontologist, which was a unique role that only existed at Cycorp where they hired people to literally hand-enter facts like "A cat has four legs" into Cyc using formal logic. My second summer I programmed (poorly) in Lisp for them.
No, I’m saying you may be younger if you think it’s “safe” to let your kids bop around the internet without oversight.

I can see their point. Even a static website can be seen as a very (very) simple multi-page app.
"Yes, Google might collect location data even when you’re not using Maps (there are a lot of passionate, dedicated Timeline users), but you have to have that enabled"

Of course that opt-in requirement was only the result of a hard-fought class action settlement.

Take this with a grain of salt as my recollection of the litigation is somewhat hazy. But I believe Google argued, even when a user opted out of location tracking, Google could still keep the data for its own uses. Ie opting out of location tracking simply meant the user didn't have access to their location history, it didn't show up on the phone (couldn't be searched by suspicious spouses) etc.
I agree very much.

Unfortunately, the BBS and even forums of the past (and those that are alive today) were very focused and had less crap. I used to spend a lot of time on Slashdot and find very civil conversations even today in many focused forums (cars, AV equipment, coffee, DPReview, coding related etc etc) Reddit has some corners like thar.
You're assuming that non-technical people have the ability to describe exactly what it is that they want. Until they can do that, or until LLMs can generate and gather requirements, we're very safe.
The vast majority of programs running on a user's computer today are already running in a VM (JS and WASM), and the number is only increasing. I do not know of any argument in behalf of running everything in a VM (even when it's not a requirement) from a cybersecurity perspective, but I suspect there may be one.

You're right, but maybe this is the way to go and the tradeoff to accept. After all, the ideas behind Theseus feel so obviously correct, alike to those of Nix.

Similar to you, I tried everything, powerline, moca, and wifi. The key is using prosumer stuff. I have a multi story house and a single EAP670 is enough to cover the whole house at 450 mbps+ on wifi 6. It has wifi 6E but only my work laptop has it so I keep it off to save power. I had a U6-pro before that but it would degrade to 200 mbps four floors away. I learned so much I probably can be a network engineer at this point. But I think the lowest friction is to go for Firewalla + a prosumer AP like the two mentioned before. For what it’s worth, I run OPNsense.

Yes, 4-pair cat3. I should have mentioned that at some point.
As far as I can tell it was more of an aspiration than a product. I worked with a consulting firm that tried to get into AI a few years back and chose Cyc as the platform they wanted to sell to (mostly financial) clients. I don't think a single project ever even started nor was there a clear picture of what could be sold. I hate to think Lenat was a fraud because he certainly seemed like a sincere and brilliant person, but I think Cyc was massively oversold despite never doing much of anything useful. The website is full technical language and not a single case study after 40 years in business.
I'm embarrassed to say that even after spending nearly a decade operating a mastery-based software engineering school, I've only just heard about this paper now. And having read it just now, I'm feeling better than ever about mastery-based education.

Oh give it a rest, will you? Hiring AI "also-rans" or whatever term satisfies your sense of national chauvinism then.

Maybe you can go pester them.

If your site is so awful that you're forced to use the command line to navigate it, something is quite wrong. You're seriously suggesting that it's an acceptable workflow to go from your browser to the command line just to preserve infinite scrolling?

There's already an issue search feature on Github, why shouldn't that be improved to return relevant search results?

My solution was to dial back my engagement with github (e.g. using a project's gitweb) and move to a different platform for hosting my own stuff.

Also, Lazy loading is pagination.

No, it's not. Infinite scrolling means you're loading all of the content instead of a page at a time.
I was expecting it to be terrible for some reason, and so was everyone else I've talked to about it, so I'm not surprised it did badly at the box office. It turns out it was an incredible film in every way, and a great experience to watch. I hope it makes a good return in the long run.
Ah ok, got it. Sorry, I realized your comment was not for me.

Honestly, I kind of appreciate that HN tries to keep things serious. I'd hate for this site to turn into reddit where the top 5 comments in most threads are just people reciting the same played out jokes over and over.
