Problem is first to adopt (assuming the AI is successful) will win.

Imo, because most AIs are trained on real data, then augmented with simulations, im not sure how well this will work in practice.

Simple example, if it’s trained on historical data, it may try to use tanks where today tanks are not nearly as useful.

Simulations would have to be VERY good and even then could have errors subtle enough for the Ai to fail.

Finally, let’s say a country deploys this. It’s likely going to face nuclear annihilation.

I really don’t see this working, not saying we couldn’t have a devastating effect short term (ie AI launches drones on battle field), but any sufficiently successful deployment would face destruction.

To be fair most ATSs are really bad at parsing information in very unexpected ways.

I used to have a pretty basic resume with two columns, basically plain text describing job experience and education in reverse chronological order and a narrow side column showing experience in languages and frameworks in a progress bar style to indicate proficiency/experience.

Some of the application software of the “fill everything in regardless of resume” variety offered to upload resume and then auto populate, which is essentially a preview of the ATS parsing capabilities.

It was perfectly capable of parsing the experience in languages etc, but would consistently fuckup the plain work history.

Even recreating the resume in a simple no frills Word document would help.

In these cases I was lucky I could manually input everything, but it did leave me very unimpressed.

It's pretty easy to prevent that though: ban the N word and the K word, the derogatory word for Jews. That gets you 90% of the way there. You'll put off the types that drop into communities just to shit the place up. The rest of it is just letting people be themselves and the emergent culture that comes along with it. Just ban 2 words, you don't need an endless CoC to prevent the toxicity, those are generally for enforcing much more strict ideological conformity.
So we just need a task force to come up with a system to simplify the system…

And since we don’t know how to do that, we better bring in the consultants…

Vint Cerf has called the decision of it being 32 bits as silly and arbitrary, like having a car odometer with 40 digits. If he had pushed for more, he thought nobody would have taken him seriously.

The idea of 32 becoming scarce was laughable.

Also the complaint about ipv6 isn't a technical one, it's a usability one. Extending it to 48 bits would have been easy enough for people - like international calling.

Those 16 bits could be in hex, as a convention, so something like "(4EA7) 8.8.4.2".

However, I've constantly heard that the 128 bit hexadecimal with colons just looks too complicated and inconvenient.

You might be brilliant and find it easy but to a lot of people ipv6 addresses look like cryptographic hashes

Despite living in the city, this probably wouldn't do much. They always come back. I have chipmunks that I have not seen in over a year and yet I hear them bark a warning call when I am apparently approaching their vicinity. I bet they have been at some of my tomatoes this year.

The nature of FOSS is that you don't get to decide what people do with what you build after you give it to them. Nobody's asking him to abandon it, only to acknowledge that people are going to use it, even people he doesn't like, for projects, even projects he doesn't like. If not being able to tell people how to act while using your software is a deal breaker, FOSS isn't for you, you probably want a ToS instead.
Absolutely, but networked autonomous vehicles moving faster so as to increase traffic flow like the parent mentioned would only make the problem worse.

People behave unpredictably. Hell, even when they behave predictably and cross at the crosswalk when they’re supposed to, they can still get hit by cars.

That said, on-street parking does have the benefit of placing a multi-ton shield between traffic and pedestrians and cyclists. Slower speeds and better street design can at least lessen the likelihood of fatal accidents when people pop out between parked cars.
The same is true if you think about virtualization. In early 2000, having multiple virtual machines on the same hardware was looking scary. It’s just matter of perspectives.

The _language_ isn't a vast advantage; the type system is near-identical (which is important). Both have their advantages, but the ecosystem (tools, crates, documentation, educational material, community) is so much better and richer in Rust, and of course wrt. performance and memory frugality, Haskell doesn't even compete. (I haven't never been able to use Haskell professionally because of that, but I use Rust for work now).

Something things about Haskell have always boggled my mind: integer overflows aren't caught (so much for safety) and the argument for this choice was performance, but at the same time, the default string type is a linked list of characters. In fact, Haskell relies far too much on lists. In Rust, the rough equivalent is Vec and Vec slices, which takes less memory, is much easier to parallelize, and is just much faster overall.

It is true that garbage collected languages allow more flexibility than languages with an ownership model (~ linear types), but so far I have been able to work with this and the end result usually benefits (I haven't had to use interior mutability yet).

Disclaimer: I'm neither a Haskell or Rust expert, but probably equally intermediate in both.

There's no reason for the 'rest of us' to do anything. Prices will move enough users out to ipv6 so that the ipv4 market will always be in equilibrium. Due to particular reasons (specific design of ipv6, human population maxing out at about 10bil, main users getting their own ipv4 addresses already) ipv4 will never entirely go away - which is not something we should care about.
If you want to get that reductive, ultimately everything in the universe is just particles and forces and interactions between them, and any concepts beyond that are arbitrary lines drawn by us humans in an attempt to organize the chaos.

In the case of senses, it's about perception. We perceive the signals from our retinas differently than the ones from our fingertips, so we give them different names (sight vs. touch).

There are also differences in the "hardware" -- sight and touch signals start with different kinds of receptors, travel down different nerves, and are processed in different parts of the brain -- but the hardware differences don't map 1:1 to the way that we categorize senses. For example, pain and pressure are processed by entirely different types of receptors, but we still call them both touch. On the flip side, balance and hearing share a lot of the same hardware, but we consider them to be different senses.

I found Silverblue to not be flexible enough for my person computers. Maybe I use Linux in a hacky way, not having write access to /usr or /bin or other folders drove me crazy about once every two weeks.

For example, I was using a script written by an ubuntu user that was looking for a library with the name/location ubuntu puts it in. Fedora uses a different name for the library. My instinct here is to create a symbolic link with the Ubuntu name that points to the Fedora rpm managed library. Instead, to get it to work I forked the script, got it to build locally, made it look for either library name, ran local test cases, submitted the code as a PR upstream, etc etc etc. It took something that would normally cost me 1 line of shell to fix to something that took 90 minutes.
This is a solved program in programming, you hover Child and hit "Go to definition". If it's ambiguous, the lawmakers would get a compile error instead of pushing a broken law. They may even have to pay us for consulting to fix it, depending on how esotrtic the language is, how nice is that!

How many independent things do you need to access the config? A dozen? Then there is a dozen calls to inc the RC at startup, but there is no later cost to read from object behind Arc. So you may read your config a million times and Arc changes nothing. While GC will have to scan the Config structure every time a full GC is needed, so there is an added cost.

> it’s never the same 20%. Everybody uses a different set of features. In the last 10 years I have probably heard of dozens of companies who, determined not to learn from each other, tried to release “lite” word processors that only implement 20% of the features. This story is as old as the PC. Most of the time, what happens is that they give their program to a journalist to review, and the journalist reviews it by writing their review using the new word processor, and then the journalist tries to find the “word count” feature which they need because most journalists have precise word count requirements, and it’s not there, because it’s in the “80% that nobody uses,” and the journalist ends up writing a story that attempts to claim simultaneously that lite programs are good, bloat is bad, and I can’t use this damn thing ’cause it won’t count my words. If I had a dollar for every time this has happened I would be very happy.

Live data from the International Space Station to control a 3D-printed model
"The state sets the terms of exchange for its currency with the prices it pays when it spends, and not per se by the quantity of currency that it spends. For example, if the state has an open-ended offer to hire soldiers at $50,000 per year, the price level as thereby defined will remain constant regardless of how many soldiers are hired and regardless of the state’s total spending. The state has set the value of its numeraire exogenously, providing that information of absolute value that market forces then utilize to allocate by price with exchange values of other goods and services determined in the marketplace. Without the state supplied information, however, there would be no expression of relative value in terms of that currency.

Should the state decide, for example, to increase the price it pays for its soldiers to $55,000 per year, it would be redefining the value of its currency downward and increasing the general price level by 10%, as market forces reflect that increase in the normal course of allocating by price and determining relative value. And for as long as the state continues to pay soldiers $55,000 per year, assuming constant relative values, the price level will remain unchanged. And, for example, the state would have to continually increase the rate of pay by 10% annually to support a continuous annual increase of the price level of 10%."

The negative implications from the message deliverer come from you, not me. You are probably correct about him being an idiot, but the phrase being translated specifies that the message delivered is not relevant to the message, in the same way that I would not call a clock an idiot for being low on battery power.
Kind of back to my point: You can, of course, invent any weird hypothetical, but there is no justification to consider it in any hypothesis absent any need for it.
I don’t think any road that has kids playing shouldn’t have a fast speed limit. And any road with faster traffic should have no street parking at all, better visibility from the sidewalk, and probably some separation (deeper curbs?). This is regardless of whether AI or people are driving.

Slower speeds work for sure, but getting a robo taxi to adhere to those slower speeds is much more realistic than getting a human driver to do the same.
> IPv6 is as backward compatible as is possible within this constraint.

Yikes, couldn't disagree with that more. There are a ton of things that ipv6 designers could have done to make the transition much easier. This is a (now quite old) blog post that is my "go to" that explains a lot of the problems with ipv6: https://cr.yp.to/djbdns/ipv6mess.html

FWIW I couldn't find the link to that post until finding it on one of the comments here, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33894933 . That whole thread has lots of good commentary.

I still don't understand how people can defend ipv6. I remember the "we better get ready to switch to ipv6" noise a quarter century ago when I started my career. And yet we're still talking about how v4 addresses are worth billions. Ipv6 has been an unmitigated disaster. The original architects should have "the perfect is the enemy of the good" forcibly tattooed on their foreheads.

If you dishonestly expand the definition of a word, you can create any statistic you want.

Meanwhile, roughly as many people are killed in automobile accidents as there are gun deaths (of any kind, including suicide) every year.

Statistically, you likely don’t know a single person killed by a gun or a car. I absolutely do not.

Now, heart disease? Statistically you’re unlikely not to know someone who died from it.

In reality, you’re not going to be a random victim of gun violence. Gun homicides primarily consist of internecine violence between criminal elements who primarily use handguns.

Finally, there’s been a large rise in gun homicides over the last few years coinciding with a large rise in violent crime in general. Solve the crime issue, you solve the gun homicides.
