AI and automation will end up creating more and better jobs than the industrial revolution that created these peoples livelihood.

Humanity always strives for more and better. There are entire fields left untouched. We have an entire galaxy to explore.

Dare I say:

"Ownership" was never in the hands of "the people". Property rights are not just something important. It is everything. It is the only important thing. Its the fabric of human civilisation.

Its impossible to have a functioning society with out and I mean that in the literal sense.

Even under your utopia, you will still have property rights, its just dictated by "the proletariat".

What this looks like in real life is, you replace a decentralised ledger of human value with a centralised ledger managed by the AOCs and Bernies of the world.

In other words, you just replaced our current class of elites who (somewhat) earned their station with a new class of elites that just so happened have the gift of gab.

To make it worse, the power of our current elites is scoped and limited whereas this new class of elites will have an order of magnitude more power and there will be no limit.

A cautionary tale I remember vividly from a guy I met in Miami:
He is from Venuezuala, his dad used have an energy drinks company. They lost it all and know he is a refugee in America. The one thing I remember him telling me is why the people don't rise up against Maduro: You don't bite the hand that feeds you.

Maduro took everything from them but they still support him for the rotten food he gives them from AID. In your utopia, those hands will be AOCs (bartender) and Bernies (Hippie whos never worked a real job).

Don't you see how the structure is fundamentally unstable? Think of it in computer terms, it will be the equivalent of creating a quantum Artificial Super Intelligence that is capable of calculating the actions needed to be taken by hundreds of millions of Americans to create the most perfect outcome.

Now replace quantum ASI with AOC (former bartender) and Bernie Sanders (former & current hippie because he's never had a real job). Even a strongman case like China where there is still quasi private ownership and the central committee selects actual competent people, even there the whole system is full of death star vulnerabilities (ghost cities, population implosion).
I do enjoy using https://github.com/graphile/worker for my postgresql queuing needs. Very scalable, the next release 0.14 even more so, and easy to use.
> It will provide an entire cohort of CEOs with the mandate to invest heavily in automation to bridge the gap.

Companies are already investing in automation as much as they possibly can. It doesn't matter what human workers do. It doesn't matter if they demand fair wages or allow themselves to be exploited. Companies will toss their human workers aside like trash and replace them with machines as soon as it becomes possible regardless.

Companies will always benefit from replacing human workers with machines. Machines don't get sick, they don't get other employees sick, they don't steal, they don't show up late, they don't take vacation, they don't have kids or family emergencies, they don't get your company caught up in sexual harassment lawsuits, they don't join unions, they don't become whistleblowers, they don't sleep, and most importantly they never say "No".

Human labor is always going to be worse for a company than automation.

You can't scare employees into accepting abuse out of fear of the Bogeyman of automation, because it's coming as fast as it can for them regardless. The best workers can do is fight to put themselves in the best financial position they can today, so that they can better hold out while society figures out what to do after human workers are no longer needed.
You cannot accept both Croatia and Serbia's borders at the same time. Croatia's policy is Serbia has this worse land and they have a better plot of land. And Serbia's policy is they own the better plot and Croatia owns this worse plot.

So, neither side claims it, because they both claim a better area. But whoever ends up losing the better area is going to take it.
This conflicts with some advice I have previously heard, so would be interested in any hard research for or against.

I was told that if you vomit, you should not brush or rinse your mouth. You are only moving the low pH stomach acid around your mouth and exposing more teeth to the acidic environment. Instead you should try to neutralize the acid (baking powder or similar).

On one hand, I could believe you are just spreading the damage around. On the other, it feels hard to believe that some residual ~2 pH stomach acid would remain when massively diluted by a mouthful of ~7 pH tap water.
Can people really tell the difference in day-to-day usage, ie not sitting at your desk in complete silence with your thousand dollar audiophile over-the-ear headphones? I mean, I have such a setup too but it doesn't bother me much to listen to merely "high" quality Spotify if I were to walk around outside, as I wouldn't be able to tell the difference there.
I was half your age in 89, so don't remember the news item, but I have strong memories of the Netscape and ozemal icons taking up estate on my step mum's compaq in the mid 90s. She was writing her PhD on it, and technically we weren't even allowed into the "office", let alone on the computer. Yet somehow I found time between 3.15 (when the school bus dropped me outside) and 4.30 (when she got home from uni) to work out what it was, connect and turn on the modem, hunt down the ozemail card and access password (after days of trial and error pw prompt denials), connect, explore first the boundaries of the ozemail portal and then beyond, and ultimately build a number of (local) personal websites using tables and hotlinked pictures that I hid in an official looking folder structure. This probably happened over many months, with the help of various co-conspirators (I would have had little idea of what the internet was before starting out, we had computers in our small state primary school, but the best thing they had on them was sim city). I was finally found out (though not red handed) when she came home early one day and picked up the phone in the living room ... at which point I bolted out the back door.

Funnily I didn't really do any elective computer subjects in high school when they were available, but I did spend a lot of time at home on my step mum's computer, chatting on ICQ, making websites and playing with graphics programs like paint and cool 3d. And eventually won my first computer at the end of high school (from channel V the pay tv music channel in Australia, tho truthfully I was a dyed in the wool rage child) with an animation of a frog jumping into a fan, made with a pirated version of Macromedia flash, downloaded in many chunks over 56k ozemail dialup.

The pioneering efforts of the early Australian net scene was lost on me. But it also shaped me. I'd love to see the doco.
Part of this is that ElixirConf 2023 just finished up, so we’re getting the news output of the talks given and libraries released.
They mean people taking it the way that they do, not in any kind of research setting.

Well, I have neither the medical knowledge nor any kind of deep understanding of this case necessary to pursue this conversation, so I'll bow out.

Thanks for the details!
how is social democracy more authoritarian than capitalist democracy?
I agree, culture has been colonised and turned into capital. It is bleak. I often miss the times before everything was connected.
Well, I'm a theist and I buy the "in the beginning was the Word" idea 100%. It is the truest statement that can be expressed in human language.

In my view the "hard problem of consciousness" that Sam Harris keeps referring to is in fact "the hard problem for materialism".

And I don't doubt that the Bible is the most-published book of all time. The Bible is one of the few books that a person may easily own two dozen copies of over a lifetime.

And people do actually read the Bible. In fact, if you're unfamiliar with the Bible that a great many references in other great literature will be lost on you. It is a truly foundational text.

As for EULAs, they don't count because no one reads them.
Brazilian LGPD also mandates companies to provide channels for users to request their data to be deleted. Theoretically, one can ask their data to be deleted right after they received a discount. But I dont't know. I guess they would do everything they are entitled to in the interim, and by the time your data removal request is fulfilled, the damage is already done.
Yeah, hydrogen peroxide is more toxic than hypochlorous acid.
We're in 2023, where the war in Donbas has erupted into an all out ground war in Ukraine covering at least 3x as much area, by comparison the original fight was a small scale conflict...

This is that kind of nitpicking where you just make yourself seem lost in the conversation by taking an argumentative tone: Crimea and Donbas are both just examples of why pining for a world where borders are seen as flexible and flowing doesn't make sense.

We're in a fully globalized world. Things are past the stage where anyone besides large countries looking to bully are able to move borders and keep them there. It doesn't really take propaganda to understand why that is: just looking at the current world is enough.
I use Mutt almost exclusively, but I still use the Gmail web interface to write emails from time to time for this very reason. If you want to send emails verbatim, you can use Mutt's bounce feature, but that can confuse the recipient since bouncing leaves the original headers in-tact, including the "Date" header which means the email might not appear at the top of the user's inbox.
I agree that regional services are generally more important than long distance HSR. It's absurd that the 80 mile trip from Oakland to Sacramento takes 2 hours.

FWIW, Brightline is very traditional heavy rail. It even uses locomotives rather than the more efficient diesel multiple units typically used on similar non-electrified routes in Europe.

For stopping services there are big advantages to going electric since they are able to accelerate much faster. The electrification work on Caltrain between San Francisco and San Jose is almost complete. This should make most trips much faster though probably won't make much difference to the express services.

Light rail usually refers to the in-city services operated with smaller street-car/tram like vehicles. These tend not to be very fast with top speeds around 50mph when operating on dedicated track, but it doesn't usually matter as they stop very frequently.
It also tells us sometimes we fail to see the beauty around us.
no-std is orthogonal to use of C. There are crates where it means replacing libstd with stdlib :)
No, in short, all of them who want to act on data outside of your instructions, need an explicit consent.

There is a difference between data controller and data processor. AWS FAQ on GDPR [1] has actually a good paragraph on it, see "Is AWS a data processor or a data controller under the GDPR?".

In your example all cloud providers and SaaS businesses like Splunk store data on your behalf and you own and control it. For them it's just a blob of data and they are supposed to be agnostic of its business meaning. With more targeted SaaS business like Salesforce, it might be more nuanced, depends if they want to do any kind data mining / processing themselves, but if they want to, then yeah, they need an explicit consent.
A law like this forces SaaS companies to remove any ambiguity from their service agreements to make sure they are strictly designated as data processors when it comes to user data their customers supply them. This AWS GDPR addendum [2] exists for this reason. Otherwise, as a small business you rarely can negotiate a tailored agreement with a large SaaS company to make sure that the data you pump into it aren't going places.

That is the sort of thing that bites you hard when it bites. It might run perfectly for years but that one period of flappy downtime at a third party or slightly misconfigured DNS will bite you hard.
> There seems to be this ridiculous idea now that no nation can possibly grow or shrink and that no new nations can break off or form

There is no such idea. Nations are created, destroyed, grow, shrink, break off etc. on a very regular basis. The difference is that the process happens via guns and blood, not a twitter account and "sovereign citizen" bullshit.
> Exactly what it says: the legal system has not caught up. Even in a post-Brandenburg world, the standard is still that the threat must be both explicit and imminent. They're still struggling with the "stochastic" part of stochastic terrorism, even though the phenomenon itself has existed for centuries.

That’s not an answer. I already showed you where we have existing laws and precedent; so I ask again what’s different?

Or are you saying that the bar for inciting violence was considered too stringent?

Because the only legal lack I’m aware of is what to do when a President is the one that incites a rebellion.

> Never said, never implied, not even relevant in this particular sub-thread.

Fair. The sub-thread spawned from moderated speech but I agree moderation isn’t the same as censorship.
Cosplaytriots attempting to use LARPing as an excuse is reminiscent of:

> "Never believe that [they] are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. ... They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert." — JPS
I do hope not. I enjoy the lossless audio on Apple Music and don’t really want my subscription price to double if they see Spotify charging a higher price for it.
Nope that remains unstudied. Trust me, I’ve looked. A lot of my assertions are based on how I’ve seen other people behave - which I fully acknowledge is subject to stuff like confirmation bias.

For context, I volunteer at a community center and library helping people use computers (usually focused on kids going into stem field, but the general public uses it too). It’s not a diverse sample as this serves only a only a specific middle and working class neighborhood, and I have not been rigorous in data collection (or have literally any strategy to do so).
> It was like selling to crypto investors today

this is like saying that electricity was like crypto.

Railroads had an undeniable economic value. So did all the optical fiber that was laid during the dot-com boom. Eventually it got used.

https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/is-fiber-optic-construction...

I have fiber to my house now. Crypto, on the other hand, is more like 8-track tape. Or laser disks.
Because using my phone while lying down in bed or sitting in my couch is so much more comfortable than using a bulky laptop or personal computer while sitting in a chair. I've written way too much code inside Termux. It's gotten to the point I only use my laptop to edit open street map now.

I'm looking for a way to build new Android apps inside Termux itself. Wonder if anyone here's managed it.
Ukraine situation is a conflict between two states. International world is a libertarian world. The whole point of having countries is that a country can offer something better to people within its borders. This is achieved through monopoly on violence. Internationally, there is no monopoly on violence; arguably, the only thing keeping the world mostly together is nukes.
Many of the possible outcomes would lead to more flexibility for Apple, who will then immediately start shipping a feature that most pro users would benefit from.
Not sure I haven't run across it before, but this is the first time I've tried using Netdata. Looks like it is very good for metrics, at least in the 10 minutes I have spent installing it on my local desktop and poking around the ui there.

I'm not seeing anything in it for logs, though. I'm guessing it doesn't aggregate or do anything with logs? What do you use for log aggregation and analysis?

I'm very interested because I've been getting frustrated with the ELK Stack, and the Prometheus/Grafana/Loki stack has never worked for me. I'm really close to trying to reinvent the wheel...
Nice, and the price is okay, but the keyboard is not suitable for longer writing sessions.

Even its very own demo video shows a lady on a software with the device AND her laptop (how ironic)!

If anyone has it, how long does the battery last?
What should happen is if someone sees it they call 911 and the cops show up. Followed by the county permit inspector. And then the owner gets arrested and the job site shut down for 6-12 months. Seriously that's what happened at friends workplace when an electrician got fried working on a live 440 volt panel. Don't see why a counter top shop should be treated any different.
Are these not the highest-paid autoworkers in the world? Besides, VinFast is happy to pop up a factory. Been seeing a lot more VinFast SUVs on the road recently.
it's 2023. Tracing has been around for 20 years(dtrace, x-trace https://cs.brown.edu/~rfonseca/pubs/xtr-nsdi07.pdf).

Very simple logging, if not structured, while not completely useless it's not very useful either. except for maybe showing some nice charts.

Any serious monitoring tool is useful when it can explain things and only tracing gives you causal information.
You shouldn't get that annoyed. If you look at the other two links I provided. The elites at the time were calling on censorship for the same reasons as on hackernews and in academia & Government. Same narratives around censoring the printing press as for social media today.
I'm not suprised by Government or those (elites) who gain from this.
What's a shame to me, is our academics are making the same terrible arguments as those from the 1400's.
Some key context, provided if you read the article, is that this exists to outline the difference between LARPing and Violent Extremism, especially as some violent extremists have claimed that their plans of violence were only "LARPing" and not bona-fide terrorism.

The exact differences they point out, such as "spectators being welcome" vs "secrecy is paramount" are clear, universal, well thought out, and interesting to read about and consider.
There are copies out on the 'net in various places when it was covered originally. E.g. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/alex-and-donna-voutsinas_n_29...
Good list. Wrapping C is especially annoying when cross-compiling. You always run into issues.

Very hardware focused. I would say the biggest one is OpenSSL. My heart always drops when something depends on that. Guaranteed pain.

Not sure about TCL. TCL is a terrible language. Surely it would be better to simply move to a sane modern one? There are a few decent embedded languages written in Rust, e.g. Rhai or Starlark.

How the system is supposed to work is that people are supposed to exercise their first amendment right of free association. Corporations of this scale were never "supposed to" exist.
Show HN: TL;DWOL – Summarize videos or audio on your machine using AI
"TL;DWOL - Too Long; Didn't Watch or Listen" is a Python-based HTTP API that summarizes multimedia content. Currently, it supports YouTube, Apple Podcasts and direct audio/video file URLs.

The API utilizes whisper.cpp for accurate audio-to-text transcription and llama.cpp for summarization.

Besides solving a real-world problem, this project also serves as my playground for learning Python and exploring modern tools.
You mean the guy currently driving Disney’s stock into the ground? Sure, let’s listen to him. Seems full of great ideas.
I never said examples (video, text, discussion) weren’t valuable. They’re essential.

You had know-how of the game. You were shown the key and were able to execute because you’ve attempted it a bunch of times and failed.

Someone given all the details on the game and the fight would likely fail to execute if they lacked know-how.
> The foremost distinction between LARPers and violent extremists is that genuine role players will not care whether others are watching. They may even embrace third-party observation, such as nonplayer characters or a general audience. After all, LARP is a performance.

> Conversely, violent extremists or terrorists want secrecy. This desire may contribute to the sense of clandestine excitement that surrounds them and their preparation on a pathway to actual violence.9

What is this? Why is the FBI writing stuff like this and publishing it?
For Rails apps, you can do this using the ActiveJob interface via

Had it in production for about a quarter and it’s worked well.
Just use Brave or install uBlock origin Firefox or other Chromium based browsers. And god forbid do not use Chrome. And make sure you have the Easy-Privacy list active. Brave actually uses the list internally without showing it to the user on the filter list screen.

If you would like to block tracking this way you would need to install thousands of addons for every company/domain/... its a pretty shitty solution. Is Google by law somewhere required to provide this or why is this an actual official extension?
Personally I think so. Reading requires a high level of concentration and immersion of the brain, as well as a low level of noise signaling. Modern video, on the other hand, does whatever it takes to destroy that ability. Think of their pacing, music, manner of speaking, and occasional insertion of canned clips or memes that habituate the brain to strong stimuli rather than low noise. I think watching these videos subconsciously destroys people's ability to read - you can hold it for shorter periods of time and understand less.
Not going to do that with groceries, and generally it takes too much time and effort (this city is built on a lot of hills) and is too dangerous around here. Nicer bikes get stolen a lot (I lost 3 before I lost my patience and didn't buy another one), cars are much harder to steal.
Yeah, i guess a governor's pardon is the systematic solution for a case like this (if he is indeed innocent).
Maybe public policy discussions between foolish people, but not elsewhere. You really don't want to go down the route of loosening the standards around blaming people for unrelated people's acts. Not only would that simply be an excuse to engage in actual terrorism, committed against anyone who has an opinion or enters politics, but it's a sword that cuts both ways.

After all, the most violent political acts in the last few years in the USA were the Floyd riots. But do you really want to prosecute anyone who argues that there's a racism problem in America for "stochastic terrorism", because some people heard that and went looting? Seems obviously inflammatory and unwise.
https://google.com/ie was so cool.
>What do you suppose the chances are of 100% of other countries imposing a similar tax

Quite high. Agricultural dumping is typically frowned upon even more than regular dumping. Half of the reason for the WTO's existence was to get countries to stop being so trigger happy about doing this.
> I chuckled a little at this as this is one of the oldest features of iOS

Wow, well that headline could not be more misleading and provocative. And the article ends with a political rant combined with an appeal for money. It'd be nice if there was a way on HN to tell it to just never show any story from certain domains to you again.
