Most searching for this stuff are expecting to buy a full system with support from the vendor though, so that's what shows up most of the time. The ratio of those trying to build an individual workstation has been decreasing, making piecemeal part builds the less prominent way to order. It's still around though.

Price... now that's definitely a story :). The current 32 core Threadripper is around $3,000 itself now. It does have some advantages like the 8 memory channels but even just trying to build a low core count box with a lot of PCIe lanes is an extremely expensive endeavour. I think part of it has to do with the gap between the consumer and server markets widening over time, it becomes harder to justify doesn't something special for the HEDT market.
Historically, it differed on different windowing systems. The two versions featured the following event sequences:

A: button press, button release, button press, button release

B: button press, button press, button release

This subtle difference leads to a world of difference in mid-level code.

The degree to which a document is embarrassing if shown to the general public is not necessarily related to its legal significance in an antitrust trial. The court may very reasonably conclude that this is weak evidence given the context, but it could still be extremely embarrassing when compressed into meme form.

Conversely, evidence that is far too dry to make a good embarrassing meme could be the conclusive proof the court needs to take action.
Do you have an actual figure in mind when you write "With the transition to clean energy"? The reality is much much more bleak, you're looking at a very small chunk of total energy consumption that's using renewable, coal has only been going up and up the past years, and how sustainable the new renewables (non hydro) will be in a world not propped-up by cheap fossil fuels remains to be tested. I was hoping Bloomberg would call a spade a spade and acknowledge a guess of the real humans-carrying capacity of spaceship earth once it stops running on fumes... My guess: one tenth of our current peak.

I don't worry about it. I usually wait a few years before using some browser feature. I'm not writing a production app and I have no customers. If I had customers, then I'd be looking at what browsers they use and making a decision based on that.

This page is not prescriptive: I'm not trying to tell everyone else what to do. This page is descriptive: I'm trying to document what works for me. For the use cases I need on my pages, pointer events cleared up a lot of glitches and edge cases I previously had with mouse+touch events. There are some that remain. I'm happy with the switch. This isn't a luxury everyone has. Not all use cases are as well supported as the things I want to do.
I have the hardest time imaging what it would take to develop software we are certain of.

Developers of greatest talent are experts at finding doubts and potential weaknesses. They see accrued depth of complexity far beyond what the minds of simpler beings floating only on the surface of interface see. They can imagine all kinds of complex interactions. And they are never certain. That doubt is a doubt they work against, guard against ad best they can, but live with.

It feels like such a ridiculous silly alien voice, such absurd naivety, to say, oh, just be certain. Just make it flawless. Whatever happens, it must be perfect. It's a juvenile fantasy, that only one ignorant to the complex nature of reality, unthinking of the combinatorial explosions of possibilities that happen as layers of systems & libraries intersect, unseeing of the absurd misuse by users of technology, that any and all difficulties could be conquered by just demanding someone making something make it perfect or never ever share it with the world, never allow users.

The poster asked why. Your answer amounts to "it's illegal because the law says so".
Existing business will have to pay for those compliance officers, salaried or through outsourced work. It WILL require more scale. There is no reduction here.

In absolute terms, less time will be spent writing software and more time will be spent on compliance (which maybe a good thing for traditional, corporate software!). But, it's not something your average open source developer is falling all over themselves to have anything to do with.

This one has more context in noting that the PDF linked earlier was training material:

At trial, Roszak told the court that he didn't recall if he ever gave the presentation. He said that the course required that he tell students "things I don’t believe as part of the presentation." He also claimed that the notes were "full of hyperbole and exaggeration" and did not reflect his true beliefs, "because there was no business purpose associated with it."

It has inputs. It need not necessarily understand them -- that is a separate question to that of consciousness. See the note for laypeople.

> It's not the hypothesis we know to be true.

I don't think this is a best-faith response to my comment. If I was unclear I can clarify: in absence of further evidence it's a good starting place. I don't think I implied anything about truth.

> And experience informs us that consciousness is not universal

How is it possible you know this with such certainty? People whose lives and careers begin and end with this question don't have any such knowledge.
Separating this question from the rest of the conversation:

Do you think it's plausible we live in a simulated existence? If so, how? If not, why not? (very broad questions, am aware; simply wanted to get an input on your perspective).
Sure, but by that logic we should do away with patents and copyrights. As a consumer, once someone has invested the energy and money to produce something, it’s better for me if someone else can clone it and sell it cheaper.

But that’s not good long term. If there’s no reward for success, there’s no incentive to risk failure.

incites anger with controversial billboard.
The shocking ad that says “If you were married to her, you'd cheat too” in reference to Pauline Hanson was shown on September 24th 2023 and lasted less than 24 hours before being removed after a series of complaints. The company responsible is Sasha7, a discreet affair website in Australia whose slogan is “Married, but looking?”
"Despite how this looks this is not at all a political statement. The Sasha7 team has some people who support Hanson, people who don’t, and everything in between. The goal of this campaign was to spark interest, particularly in women, which it did. Sasha7 has a female first approach. Our research has shown the vast majority of women do not support Hanson which is exactly why we ran with the idea. We believe that if we focus on attracting and retaining women first the men will follow."
- Sasha Correia, Vice-President
This strategy seems to have worked quite well. Sasha7 reported over 10,000 female signups in the days following the announcement.
About Sasha7: Sasha7 is a female-focused affair website that promotes an active community of open-minded, discreet, and non-judgmental users. Launched in 2020 Sasha7 became the fastest growing affair site in Australia adding nearly 100,000 users in 2023 alone.

Europe has, I will not say a perfect, but a saner approach to these sorts of things, in general. They take a more precautionary view. The notion that we must allow arbitrary things into our foods is nothing short of worshiping at the altar of "Progress"™, and Profit. The common good is sacrificed for the sake of the inferior end of making a buck.

Artificial sweeteners, specifically, are a bandage over the festering wound of a culture of mindless consumption. Companies want you to consume more so you buy more, but as soon as people began to worry about the rather expected obesity resulting from gorging and constant snacking on food and drink, and mediocre food and drink at that, the only alternative in the unhinged profit-above-all-else logic of consumerism is to maintain or increase consumption exceeding actual need, but reduce the apparent consequences of mindless consumption.

The common good requires a conservative legal oversight in this space where weird food additives are concerned, but it also includes abstract truths like "gluttony is evil" or "making financial profit the highest end is disordered". Our cultural and civilizational demise is rooted in things like the latter, and the intellectual and spiritual rot and resulting debasement of common sensibilities regarding such intangibles. Which is to say, regulation by itself, without appropriate cultural shifts, will, at best, function as another bandage that corporations will lobby to dilute and weaken and redefine at every opportunity.

Is aspartame the new vaccines?
As far as I'm aware, the autistic neurotype is caused by a different distribution of connections in the brain, caused by a deficiency of some chemical that I can't seem to find the name of (I swear I saw it somewhere, but there's too much SEO garbage for anything to find things other than vitamins and anti-vax propaganda). ASD is diagnosed by disordered symptoms that are consistent with autism, and can sometimes occur in people who do not possess the actual neurotype, but still have something else that causes those symptoms. (What the "something else" might be is something I do not know.)

oh we can and do have the people power, no one wants to pay what it actually costs now to do them. It's not a lack of people, its a lack of money going to the right places, especially on the maintenance aspects. Ai ain't gonna fix that part, the one hope you do mention is robotics for augementing human strength for care of the eldery but again, money isn't going to the right places, its just filling up the accounts of the already rich and just staying there now.

as an example the landlord of the place i'm at right now spends hundreds a month of a leaking faucet but won't spend anything to fix it or update the shower that its happening in, they take in over $8000/month on 3 units they illegally split it into that they bought in 2003 for $362,000 and is now valued at $1.3 million, yet it still has lead pipes and leaking faucets. There is lots of money for upkeep on every project, the gov and ownership class doesn't want to pay it until forced to.

Precisely. Aspartame is one of the, if not the top, most studied food additives we use. I don't think anything else has ever received such a rigorous treatment.
If people want children and can't because of socioeconomic systems (working arrangements, basic living need costs, childcare, etc), society is robbing those potential parents of joy. Conversely, if systems are preventing people who don't want to be parents from affirming those reproductive choices, society is again robbing those potential childfree people of joy (as well as the suffering of unwanted children brought into the world; roughly ~40% of annual pregnancies in the US and globally are unintended [1]).

If both cohorts are supported and optimized for, and population decline continues, the population decline is not something to be solved for. Optimize for societal systems to continue to function at certain levels in the face of a declining population [2]. As usual, Japan will lead the way and show us the future.

EDIT: Ripped straight from the piece in question:

> People aren’t selfish for choosing smaller families. We are powerfully programmed by Darwinian evolution to want to have offspring, or at least to have sex, but women are also endowed with the instinct to limit reproduction to the number who can be raised with a high probability of success in life. When women have large numbers of children, it’s often a result of high child mortality or lack of power over their own lives.

You are correct. The autistic neurotype is a different pattern of brain development that cannot be cured in this way; nonetheless, a diagnosis of ASD can be assigned to anyone who shows disordered symptoms consistent with being autistic. Therefore, there are certainly people out there, diagnosed with ASD, but who do not possess the autistic neurotype, and who thus may be treatable.

Ask HN: Is this a real device listening service?
I saw a link to this company posted on X and wonder if it's authentic (it seems like it). It's a service that apparently listens on your devices for you to say keywords/phrases and sells that information to advertisers - who then target you with ads. Is this legal? It seems to claim it is.. Can anything be done about this? We need stronger privacy laws, it seems.
With that said, I'd rather be poor in France than in the US. At least there is a good public health care system and you can go to school& university for free.
>It's illegal because it's obscene material

there is a lot of stuff that is obscene at face value but not disallowed by SK law.

most depictions of gore and violence would be considered obscene by definition, yet 'realism shooters' are hugely popular and legally allowed most anywhere.

it's illegal because it's illegal. I don't know enough about SK law reformation to tell you how that came about, but 'obscene' isn't the bar to judge from; plenty of legal obscenity exists most everywhere you look.
Retirement communities and nursing homes are full of parents with children who do not visit them. How selfish does one must be to have children to have a retirement plan? Society cares for the childless, and we will have to learn to manage a declining population because of a population expansion everyone thought (how silly in a finite system) would last forever.

The obvious explanation (assuming their stats are correct) is that the autistic moms drink more diet soda and also tend to have more autistic offspring.

But the article doesn't seem to measure any of the relevant variables to determine this.
I've been using it for code review. I just paste some of my code in and ask the AI to critique it, suggest ideas and improvements. Makes for a less lonely coding experience. Wish I could point it to my git repositories and have it review the entire projects.

I've had mixed experiences with getting it to generate new code. It produced good node.js command line application code. It didn't do so well at writing a program that creates 16 bit PCM audio file. I asked it to explain the WAV file format and things like lengths of structures got so confusing I had to research the stuff to figure out the truth.
Sure, but eye candy/exclusivity were certainly not the dominant reasons the iPhone succeeded. The early iPhones were $299 with 2-year contracts—definitely not prohibitively expensive for a huge number of people. Eye candy…sure the iPhones looked good compared to the competition, but there was nothing stopping the competition from making good looking phones too.
I could see this opening up a new way to generate ideas from which you can start building, or what to add/remove when you're stumped. Maybe a way to create coherent arrangements from a curated list of one shot samples and short loops. And I wouldn't be surprised at all if the automated mixing/mastering services (of which there has been a bunch for years) take a giant leap forward because of better technology.

But in general I'd imagine written language to be a pretty infuriating tool for describing what you want musically, when the most interesting parts of music are just about always the ones that you can't really capture with language. You can kind of outline things with written language and traditional music theory, but it's usually just a blurry version of why a specific piece of music resonates.

I think that AI tools for music will most likely just stay as plugins within the more traditional DAW structure. There's only so many ways to represent an audio file, and a fader that controls the volume of a track or some other parameter.

Like mentioned in the article, most of these additions take quite a bit away from the amount of control the artist has over the music, and lowering the amount of 'input resolution' in this sense is a block that's almost impossible to overcome.
In the US at least, we'll have plenty of other much more serious problems before we have to worry about infrastructure. There was a story on here just the other day about record levels of homelessness for baby boomers. Our housing market was built for growth and rents are probably not going down much any time soon. The elderly have found themselves with houses too large to care for, and they're often well into disrepair by the time it's feasible to downsize. Financial companies have been preying on this same population with predatory financial instruments like reverse mortgages. Lots of folks who were among the first to get 401ks instead of pensions are realizing they have far too little saved to maintain anything even close to their pre-retirement lifestyle.

Our society has optimized itself for profit around the historically financially well-off baby boomer generation and not their welfare or comfort. Sadly this absolutely won't be a problem that's solved for at least a generation or two. Until then it'll be very painful times for many people.
