Also importantly: Trudeau has yet to show evidence. This could easily be misinformation and disinformation.

Trudeau is notorious for lying, dividing people, and "interpreting differently" things, especially when all the attention is on his crumbling regime and mismanagement of virtually everything in Canada.

And it should raise everyone's flags that Trudeau, who has done everything possible to obstruct and derail the inquiry into Chinese election interference which likely put him in power - including saying that the information is classified - suddenly decides to share highly classified information from Canadian intelligence.
I took a a couple classes in college that were taught in NetLogo. While it isn't the most practical language (except for visual simulations), I think it's incredibly valuable to learn to think in terms of isolated agents. It brings together OOP and functional programming and is a good foundation to learn multi-threading or light-weight processes like in Erlang/Elixir.
Hm, I don't know. Sex dolls don't pass the Turing test with flying colors.

More than that, even without speech or action they are emotional surrogates for some needy people - making the simulacra perfect will make it easier for more and more lonely people (let's be honest, mostly men) to take that leap of 'suspension of disbelief'.

Even among those that don't engage it may become more socially acceptable. I imagine some people who have to hide their realistic sex dolls today will gladly disclose their AI girlfriend to close friends (and they won't care)

I'm not sure what will come of it, but I recognize it as a potentially very impactful thing in the following decades

As an older millennial, it’s interesting to me observe the difference with which HIV/AIDS and COVID has been treated. While untreated HIV infection is more lethal than COVID, COVID has killed more people in the past 4 years than HIV/AIDS did in the past 40+.

My childhood was filled with warnings and media depicting the tragedy of HIV/AIDS, the surrounding bigotry, and the history of this pandemic still has some cache. COVID, conversely, has all but disappeared from the national stage, despite still actively killing large numbers of people. Pointing this out even now is likely to draw accusals of one being a terrified nut or obsessive. It’s such a drastic change, that it’s hard to reconcile a past where public health and the moral dimensions around our practice of it played such a prominent part in our culture with the disregard and denial of the present.

EDIT:

To clarify, I’m speaking about my experience of both pandemics in the US. Worldwide, AIDS has of course killed more people than COVID.
I just asked it to help me identify an upcoming movie based on storyline from the trailer, genre and release date.

It happily found that movie I had been looking for (couldn't remember the title), with a summary of the plotline, director's name.

Then I googled it to watch the trailer again. Couldn't find it. But I found a movie from the same director with the same title from 2005. The little bastard had invented a summary based on my hints and presented it as an answer.

At least when I confronted them about it they admitted they made it up.

Looking at the profile, the user was banned by dang on 2022-10-07 for "repeatedly breaking the site guidelines" in the comments for the submission "JetBrains Ring UI". It looks like what precipitated this was the user made a bunch of user-flagged comments starting with the evergreen "why is this on HN" and then arguing with the people who replied, eventually calling them 'shills' and 'children', at which point dang replied indicating that the account was now banned.

Element Starter: open-source meets on-premise collaboration
This is stated elsewhere in this thread, but if this is the case then Apple should allow users to unpair their parts and allow them to be reused. Gouging users by forcing them to buy a new part that they already have because their current one is "unverified" despite working perfectly can only be interpreted as greed.
It’s not just about celebrity cancellation. This is just another form of a bigger problem. For example, many people got their Google accounts blocked for no reason and no recourse. There are stories about it on HN.

Often the attackers wait until the retention policy for backups has been hit before unleashing the payload of ransomware.

This way, even if you have a snapshot from 7 days ago, it's also infected.

Or even worse they have physical access to the backup server/storage and just delete backups infect them as well.

Partly because they were on the other side. It's different here (if true) because, as the BBC points out -

"Western powers would have to make a choice between backing Ottawa or New Delhi, a choice between supporting the principle of the rule of law or the hard necessity of realpolitik."

I have a western name and have been learning Japanese. I also want to be respectful and considerate of the customs, legal documents, and software used in other countries.

I thought my family name with an honorific should be first when in Japan, but last night I saw some advice saying that people with western style names should use the given name first when speaking there. (That didn't quite sound "fair" for all the Japanese people use their given name first in western contexts.) Now I suspect the advice was out of date, but overall I agree that knowing when to go back and forth can be a point of confusion, especially with differing explanations available online.
Canadian here. Housing costs have increased so dramatically this would still put you back to only maybe five years ago in terms of disposable income. This is just a wild guesstimate, but you get the idea. Anecdotally I've heard that other countries, particularly in Europe, have tried subsidized or even free daycare and that it failed to have any effect on birthrate.
There's not a magic thing, but you have a sequence of things that need to be addressed. Inexpensive young child care, less expensive schools, time off from your job without penalty to encourage having kids, make it triply so for women. Give a career boost for having kids. It's money and cultural and they're not changing their culture! It's really hard to change culture, look at the US, we turned out to have a significant racist underbelly after all, it never went away.

I worked at a place where we had machine learning systems with a big pile of dependencies that pip could not consistently resolve, I figured out what most of the technical problems where but I was still struggling with wetware problems and they eventually put me on a Scala/Typescript project instead.

One big problem is that pip just starts downloading and installing things optimistically, it does not get a global view of the dependencies and if it finds a conflict it can't reliably back out from where it is and find a good configuration. The answer is to do what maven does or what conda does and download the dependency graph of all the matching versions and get a solve before before you start downloading. Towards the end of my time on that project I had built something that assembled a "wheelhouse" of wheels necessary to run my system and would install them directly.

What I figured out was that you could download just the dependencies from a wheel with 2 or 3 range requests because a wheel is just a ZIP file and you can download the header and the directory from the end of the file and then know where the metadata is and download just that. Recently pypi got some sense and now they let you download just the metadata.

And that's the story of Python packaging. Things are really going in the right direction but progress has been slow because the community has mistaken "98% correct" (e.g. wrong) with "has 98% of the features somebody might want" It might have been a lot better if somebody with some vision and no tolerance for ambiguity had gotten in charge a long time ago.

> Is increasing birth rates just an unsolvable problem somehow?

If solvable, it is ridiculously expensive. For one, the cost (non monetary) of birthing is placed on just half of the population. So the other half needs to sweeten the pot for that half. And these divisions are not just men/women, but also old/young.

Second, the benefit of higher fertility rates is not seen for decades, but the drawbacks are immediate. So it is very difficult for the participants to agree on a price. Many will die before they see any benefit, but they will pay the costs.

Artificial wombs might be an answer, but I doubt they are coming soon.

That's not how the EU works.

All rules and regulations are really optional. If a country flat out refuses to implement one of them nothing happens.

Yes, of course. But have you read journalists reporting on science findings? It's always an extreme "scientists now claim one glass of wine a day is good for you!" and "scientists discovered that even one glass of wine will ruin your life forever".

Never the middle ground, it's always a shocking new finding "by science" (spoiler: scientists seldom say the things newspapers and pop-science/nutrition & health articles claim they say).
I would take absolutely any phonetic spelling of English over the current spelling of English.
If the solution to theft is "remotely brick parts that work perfectly," it is a shitty solution that doesn't deserve consideration. Doubly so when Apple's workaround for that is "pay us even more money to double the e-waste by having us send you another perfectly working part, but ~verified~!"
Doesn't that sound a bit tautological? One not wanting to date people one isn't interested in?
There's a significant difference in risk in robbing someone at gunpoint vs just slipping their phone out of their pocket. It's awful that that happened to you, but it's important to realize that just because a specific security measure could not prevent what happened to you, that doesn't mean it's wholly ineffectual or not worth having.

I don’t know if there’s data to back this up. I’m simply assuming based on what I know. What I know comes from people I went to school with who have stolen phones before telling me at the pub. There is a price for the type of device you bring in. The ones on the bikes or mugging people actually drop it off to the people who send stuff off to China. Those people give a standard price for the type of phone, he quoted £100 for an iPhone 11 and £120 for a Samsung Galaxy.

He corroborates your point regarding not discriminating the phone he stole, to be fair.

Moving from Europe to the US really made me appreciate recessed power sockets - the standard US Power Socket is a crime against engineering (and don't get me started on 120 vs 240V).

If I was Emperor of the Universe, I'd make the Type G plug the only standard: Longer ground contact that makes contact first, plastic cover on the plug-facing side of the hot/neutral contacts, polarized because there's only one direction to plug it, built-in fuse. Make it recessed, and it's perfect. And since it's rated for 250V/13A, it's great for any household device that doesn't need three-phase power.

Yes, it's chonky, but the more I learn about power plugs and sockets, the more I see how well designed it is. Unless someone from the UK knows if there are actual issues with it :)

As a new parent, handling all this is terrifying. I do try and remind myself that we had games and grainy 56k porn far too young and turned out ok, but there was no instagram, and certainly no submissive A.I. avatars.

Cavium provides purpose-built chips used for the ER & USG products. The UDM line uses ARM chips, most likely built by Annapurna labs.
This would've been obvious to our ancestors, but not all pornography is nudity, or even visual. Even the word reflects this, "pórnos" (fornicators) + "gráphein" (writing, recording, or description). Anyone who wants to learn what women's porn looks like needs to look at the sales numbers for Fifty Shades of Gray.
Buying a bagel from a shop with a POS like that was the breaking point for me: I will never go back, and tipping nudges have now lost all persuasive force. I have returned to the tipping conventions I grew up with (which are still unreasonable, of course; the entire practice needs to end).

Q: So what is the dimension of my Hilbert Space?

A: Just enough to describe all your independent physical states, which is proportional to the number of your particles.

Q: So if some interaction creates more particles I have to increase the dimension of my Hilbert Space?

A: Yes, I'm afraid so.

Q: But I am used to physics providing some constant background to goings-on here and now. It was absolute Newtonian space and time, then it was warped Einsteinian spacetime, now you say it depends on how many particles I create?

A: Yes.

Q: But that's insane?

A: Yes.

A: OK, I'll allow you to create or destroy as many particles as you like, especially if you have an really big Large Hardon Collider.

Q: Are you sure I can keep my Hilbert Space the same?

A: Yes, aha, I have thought of a special number that does not change when you add or remove finite integers...

Q: There is no such number ... oh wait, you mean infinite dimensional?

A: Yes, infinite dimensional, and complex, of course.

Q: Of course.

Q: Does not sound in the least bit plausible. How do you add particles?

A: It's called the second quantization of Quantum Field Theory using Fock Spaces.

Q: Makes perfect Focking sense.

Ask HN: Is it possible that ChatGPT is not creative at all
As a non-expert, ChatGPT appears to me to be a compression of the internet with interesting mash ups. Am I wrong?

I would love to hear the reasoning for why my thinking is incorrect so I can better understand the creative potential and limitations of ChatGPT.
approve them on your behalf? theyd still be paired to your device
I’m sorry that happened to you.

IMHO this is a huge problem. A thief just wants to steal your phone. To ensure the value of the device, it’s now common to force you to provide your passcode. This gives access to all your data, can be used to reset your Apple ID password, lock you out of your account, and erase and lock all your other devices. This problem never existed before, and it’s significantly worse! Like, way way way worse. It’s so bad I wonder if I should really be signed into my Apple ID on my phone at all. Because I don’t give the slightest care of someone stealing my phone. But I do care if they have access to all my data, erase and lock me out of all my other devices. I really care about that. And this problem only exists because Apple locks down the device and all parts.
I’ve never had to repair my iphone (just get a new one every 4yrs) and appreciate that my phone is less profitable to steal, “repairability score” be damned. But I live in a dense city and take public transit, so the trade off is worth it to me. If I wanted something repairable I’d buy a different phone.
