First, I don't assume, I know my mom and her knowledge about topics. Second, the quoted text was a quote. She literally said that. (replacing the word "her" with "me")

I'm not sure what you're getting at otherwise. It's not like she and I haven't spoken outside of her saying that phrase. She clearly has no idea what AI/ML is or how it works and is prone to fear-mongering messages on social media telling her how to think and to be scared of things. She has a strong history of it.
Also, Sponsorblock exists.
The competitors have been making only incremental improvements as well, which has left them with just as big of a gap year after year.
No one says you can't have all of your microservices use the same language...
I don’t think current implementations cause an existential risk. But current implementations are causing a backward step in our society.

We have lost the ability to get reliable news. Not that fake news did not exist before AI, but the price to produce it was not practically zero.

Now we can spam social media with whatever narrative we want. And no human can swift through all of it to tell real from bs.

So now we are becoming even more dependent on AI. Now we need an AI copilot to help us swift through garbage to find some inkling of truth.

We are setting up a society where AI gets more powerful, and humans becomes less sufficient.

It has nothing to do with dooms day scenarios of robots harvesting our bodies, and more with humans not being able to interact with the world without AI. This already happened with smartphones, and while there are some advantages, I don’t think there are many people that have a healthy relationship with their smartphone.
Okay sounds good :)

Payoneer, Revolut, and Airwallex are probably the closest in feature set. Using Payoneer at the moment.

There are also currency exchange platforms like OFX and Currencies Direct and contractor management platforms like Remote.com and Lano.io, but it's hard to find something that does all-in-one (incoming payments, outgoing payments, virtual cards, batch payments).
I mean looking into his mental state is certainly not ridiculous. No matter for or against Musk's his politics, business ventures or 4chan edgelord shit. Being in his position must leave marks on your mental health.
There was a Brazilian billionaire also obsessed with “X”, Eike Batista. “X” had a mystical significance for him, it meant a multiplier or whatever. He would name all of his companies with “X” too, before Musk I believe.

But he was a much more “on-paper” billionaire because his wealth was tied to some oil companies that had that valuation only on paper. It was tied to finding a lot of oil on some places. When that didn’t happen, all that “wealth” went to dust and he was back to being “only” a multimillionaire.
There is no difference between a defined benefit pension plan and a target date retirement fund, except you avoid the extra agency risk that comes with giving control of your savings to the board of the pension plan and its vendors.

The only defined benefit pension plan that has a leg up on index funds is a taxpayer funded one, because it has the power to tax, assuming the taxing jurisdiction will remain sufficiently economically productive decades into the future (see Detroit for an example of one that did not and hence was able to cut benefits to DB pension recipients).

Personally, I would only value a DB pension paid by the federal government, since it can always print money. Otherwise, give me my 0.03% expense ratio index funds.
Yeah it's mentioned in Stephen Hawking's last book: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratospheric_aerosol_inject...

“The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concludes that it is the most-researched solar geoengineering method, with high agreement that it could limit warming to below 1.5 °C”

There’s a risk it’d affect the ozone layer. But Paul Crutzen, who won the Nobel Prize for his ozone research in 95, said the sulfur plan is “the only option available to rapidly reduce temp rises and counteract other climactic effects”.

We’d also need to add shockingly little SO2 to the stratosphere. We currently emit 200m tons per year (25% is humans, rest is volcanos and other natural sources). We’d need to add an extra 100k per year.

Edit: I think one of the Microsoft co-founders was looking into it, the problems of proving it would work were political - not engineering-related.
I did a bit of research, and this is what I found:

This article says about 20% of vehicles sales are to fleets. It says vans are the most popular fleet vehicles. It syas "light trucks" (which includes vans) outpace cars in fleet registrations at 22.5% vs 17.3%. https://www.autoserviceworld.com/fleet-registrations-continu...

Based on that data, I see strong evidence that the F150 is not boosted over other types of vehicles. I certainly found nothing to support the idea that it is, and if it is, it does not seem to be a strongly dominant consideration.
I think we should start calling this Pendulum Blindness.

We just go from 'one' to 'too many' as equally unworkable solutions to all of our problems, and each side (and each person currently subscribed to that 'side') knows the other side is wrong. The assumption is that this means their side is right instead of reality, which is nobody is right.

The moderates are right, but their answers are wiggly and they're too busy getting stuff done to argue with the purists. But the optics are bad so here we go again on another swing of the swingset.

'Some Services' is probably right, but it varies with domain, company size, and company structure (Conway's Law). And honestly developer maturity, so while 7 may be right for me and my peers today, in a year it might be 6, or 9. There's no clever soundbite to parrot.
Show HN: Dittofeed v0.6.0 – Reverse ETL for open-source customer messaging
Hi HN, we just released Dittofeed v0.6.0. This release includes reverse ETL support, with the help of Polytomic. Reverse ETL support was highly requested by community members.

Dittofeed is an open-source alternative to platforms like customer.io, Braze, and others. Reverse ETL is useful for allowing growth teams to track new events without blocking on the product engineering team.

Polytomic is a data platform which supports both ETL and reverse ETL.

A few other release highlights based on HN feedback:

- Full overhaul of our “broadcasts” feature to improve the ease of sending one-off messages like newsletters and product updates.
- You can now send test messages to yourself to ensure proper rendering in different email clients, validate ESP credentials, etc.

Release blog post with all updates [here](https://dittofeed.com/blog/release-0-6-0). Hope to hear your thoughts!

> Given the political climate surrounding COVID I find it difficult to trust any numbers from any source

Just look at all-cause mortality, and assume that the observed excess mortality is because of covid.
It's not reasonable. They are your shares. Do not sell them back at all. They might be worthless but it's the principle of it.
There comes a point where a taxonomy of fallacies is just splitting hairs. But these two are ones that I would choose to distinguish, even though they have a lot of sympathy.

The point of a controversy bait-and-switch is to draw attention and followers based on how reasonable you are. I already explained how it works above.

A motte-and-bailey fallacy, for those who don't know, is that you have two statements that you equivocate between. The motte is very easy to defend. The bailey is an attack. When you are attacking you switch to the bailey. When you are defending you switch to the motte. And then you switch back by pretending that your defense of the motte actually advanced your bailey.

I see this as different because you actually DO intend to convince people of the bailey if you can. And while in the controversy bait and switch you make it clear when you flip between positions, in the mott-and-bailey you equivocate and attempt to leave people confused.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGEDjd_Nqb4&t=262s is a different video from the same person demonstrating Jordan Peterson using a mott-and-bailey fallacy to advance his position.
Everyone except developers uses their smartphone (yeah right)
Or so I was told. The argument usually goes like: I have N friends and all are using smartphones only. I even encountered something in tune here on HN. Today I walked into some trendy cafe with like 20 tables being occupied. Most of those were on laptops. I do not think they were "working remotely" as no one was really "abusing" keyboard or mouse. By the look they were either reading or watching some videos.
For anyone else taken aback by the nostalgia-inducing mention of "climate gate" and wondering what's up: no, there don't appear to have been any new developments, it continues to be the case that scientific misconduct was not uncovered.
> Most people would in fact find it appalling and demeaning to treat people with such little respect.

You don't speak for most people, nor do I believe you know much about most people. If you've got access to any evidence I am not aware of, feel free to share, but until that point, I can only assume this is just your opinion, which you are trying to present as most people's opinion.

> I think you should also take a second look at your own performance in this thread, and maybe ask a friend for an opinion about your comments, because that behavior is not normal either.

Asked my girlfriend. Her statements: 1. "Why are you arguing with people on the internet?" (Answer: I was bored.) 2. "That guy [you] is overreacting."

You've already checked your opinions with the Google staff, and been told they don't agree with you. Why would you think one of my friends is going to agree with you more? How many outside opinions are you willing to ignore to maintain your delusion that your opinion is universally agreed upon? I'm pretty sure none of the people who are agreeing with you in this thread have actually read the mild, polite 4/5 star review you're describing as "disgusting".

In a larger sense, you've not engaged with anything that the review said or that I said. You're just calling opinions disgusting, appalling, demeaning, etc., without actually bothering to disprove the concrete claims being made.

I asked questions in my previous post, and they aren't just rhetorical. You might consider answering them:

"What's the point you're making? Users aren't allowed to have preferences about software they get for free? User experience doesn't matter for free software? Who did you release this software for if not for users?"
>> "Climate change will cause agricultural failure and subsequent collapse of hyperfragile modern civilization, likely within 10–15 years. By 2050 total human population will likely be under 2 billion. Humans, along with most other animals, will go extinct before the end of this century. These impacts are locked in and cannot be averted."

If you truly believe that then why are you wasting time on HN?
Largely true in sectors that are encumbered by those rules. US has effectively no rare earth mines due to environmental impact, labor intensive manufacturing all left... Of course it could be worth it though, pretty easy to argue it has been.
I kinda like Meta, but alphabet is awful (and I almost never hear it)
Qualcomm is really trying to turn things around - on all fronts.

Upstreaming is clearly a higher priority now than it's been in the past, e.g. "Upstream Linux support now available for the the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform" [1]

Methodology is described in the site - it's based on air composition frozen in antarctica.
Then changing workplaces is equivalent to moving.

Ideally, your union is supposed to fight against your boss for you.

I can understand the reluctance to deal with another structure. But when you get to the day-to-day impact, aside from the legal protections and membership dues and so forth, how is dealing with a union any different from dealing with the ad hoc cliques or unofficial software guilds, employee groups, etc. that spring up in a workplace? Or just dealing with rival teams or orgs jockeying for influence and power? You want to escape politics at the workplace altogether, become a freelancer.
Despite billions in subsidies, nuclear reactors have not become much cheaper to operate in the last 40 years. They have become safer and more efficient, sure.
But not cheaper.

Compare what PV has been able to achieve with way less subsidies and it becomes clear that nuclear - from a cost perspective - is a dead end.
Equity is equity. It's net worth that matters regardless of any mortgages. If a retiree has a mortgage payment then that's just one more housing expense to factor into retirement planning along with property taxes, maintenance, etc. For retirees with low interest mortgage it would be foolish to pay those off. And retirees who have substantial equity but need cash for living expenses can always take out a reverse mortgage.
The company was founded on it. It was "thefacebook.com" for years as it fought to get the domain name without "the". (Also, there were lots of face books at the time. Claiming "The" was a wild hair that also seemed to win PR for them.)
Well, partly that was a mistaken impression because I thought that your comment was also from vrosas. But I think there's enough in there to assess your attitude toward code-review at least a _bit_:

> They have 12 people and no customers, they can almost certainly adopt a very aggressive developer cycle that optimizes almost exclusively for happy-path velocity. You'd never do that at 50+ engineers with customers but for 12 engineers who have no customers? It's fine, in fact it's ideal.

12 engineers churning out code with no code-review at all? That'll produce velocity, for sure. It'll also produce not just an unmaintainable mess, but an interesting experiment, in which you get to find out which of your engineers are socially capable enough to initiate technical communication independently and construct technical rapport _without_ that process helping them to do so. Hope none of them hold strong technical opinions that clash!
I remember having this argument 20 years ago, with teachers who've never seriously used the Internet.

I don't think it's still a realistic argument to be having in 2023 :)
I suppose you're right, I think the resistance I feel is rooted in not wanting to believe the average person is so stupid that getting a "1-2-3" list from a GPT interface will make them successful vs an Anarchist Cookbook (that's been in publication for 52 years) or online equivalent that merely requires a web search and a bit of navigation. Another factor is "second-order effects" (might not be the right word, maybe "network effects"), where one viral vid or news article says "someone made _____ and $EXTRAORDINARY_THING_HAPPENED" might cause a million people to imitate and begin with searching "how to make _____". Then the media spins their controversy of "should we ban AI from teaching about ______" which causes even more people to search for it (streisand). who knows whats going to happen, I don't see much good coming out of it (this topic specifically).
Those LCA applications aren’t 1-1 with H1B quota numbers. Eg after 3 years when renewing a H1B the employer needs to file an LCA but that won’t count against the cap. Similar for H1B transfers and renewals past 6 years.

Overall the claim that Amazon takes 25 percent of H1Bs is extremely incorrect.
What is this deliver thing? I haven't done anything productive for years.

Agreed, the variation in the chart is pretty small.

Though, if you near a large CO2 source (e.g. a city) it can be 100ppm+ higher (just staring at some CO2 meters right now).
As a side note - it may be worth reframing ‘the world being largely monogamous and heterosexual’ to something more like ‘societies strongly enforcing monogamy and heterosexuality’.

Anyone who has ever spent any time in a gay club can report that many/most of the other patrons were heterosexual/monogamous too. At least until they entered the club.

Society doesn’t exist for long without a supply of children, and has very strong incentives to enforce certain behaviors.
It’s important to remember that they are 3-4 years ahead against ARM competitors (ie mobile). They were the first to reach sufficient volume (+ years of planning for SW and HW) that their mobile CPU tech could be scaled jump to migrate their laptop/desktop offerings and outpace on a per watt basis with AMD/Intel (and be at least competitive with on an absolute basis).

For example, they have a unified 800GB/s memory bandwidth with zero copy sharing between GPU and CPU. That’s not something anyone else has managed yet. They’re not making the huge leaps every year, but they’re making enough to keep the advantage of their previously leap. Their previous leap was a result of process node and architectural improvements and they’re continuing to buy up manufacturing capacity from TSMC to retain their 6-12month edge on other competitors.
That's BS. You haven’t seen their their algorithm and neither have I. Tech companies are far too quick to refer to their little opaque boxes as having supernatural powers to "show me what I want".
You could use your DNSSEC signing key to sign a validation message (offline, because that doesn't work over DNS).
An unintelligent AI that is competent is even more dangerous as it is more likely to accidentally do something bad.
How come this says it's 420ppm currently, but when I open a window all the CO2 monitors in my house show ~390ppm?
> Apple devices aren't engineered to last

This is just patently false.
You don’t even need fear, hype alone would do that and did just that over the past year, with ai stocks exploding exponentially like some shilled shitcoin before dramatic clifflike falls. Mention ai in your earnings call and your stock might move 5%.

I'd like to see any evidence that suggests AGI is even possible before I care about it wiping out humanity.
As a schizotype (probably most self-diagnosed "autists" are schizotypes as a condition that affects 5-10% of people has been erased) I learned to develop a "false self" where I reflexively go along with authority in in person situations.

It helps to be white, but so often cops let me drive away without a ticket because I listen to so receptively to their explanation of how people don't like me driving fast in their residential neighborhood and I won't drop the slightest hint that I like street racing on Sunday mornings in a certain residential neighborhood.

I'll occasionally catch the eye of a dangerous person if I'm being inattentive but I can generally convince them that I'm uninteresting. I cultivated the art of being attentive while looking inattentive and practiced "invisibility magic" where I'd sometimes walk past security guards as if I wasn't there, bypass a quarter mile long line at the Moscone center by manipulating my (and by extension an observer's) attention and such. An falling back on being sheepish and a little bit slow would get me out of trouble if it didn't work.

> Those whose rhetoric serves to keep Palestinians radicalized, such as yourself, in-part will be responsible for their continued abject misery.

What a fucked up thing to say. As if rhetoric from some far-away Westerners is what keeps these people radicalized and miserable.

You can eliminate Hamas down to the last man, but if conditions in Gaza don't change, you'll just get Hamas 2.0. And Hamas 3.0 after you eliminate those. I'm stating the obvious, but it's not possible to deradicalize a group of people by bombing them and depopulating their largest city.

> Yours are the ethics of the utilization of Human Shields toward engaging in War and War Crimes.

And yours are the ethics of shooting the hostage to kill the hostage taker. Which certainly has precedent in warfare, and may be necessary to ensure national security depending on who you ask — but let's not mince words here. You don't get to wash the blood from your hands by pointing to the hidden terrorists behind the corpses of bombed-out families. (Even if you're legally allowed to label it "collateral damage.")
> tries to talk intelligently

How would you define this though? People couldn't even agree whether gpt-3 talks intelligently or not.
It's absolutely mind blowing that we as humans were able to increase a constituent part of the atmosphere from from 0.028% to 0.04%. Written like that it looks small but, each part per million of CO2 in the atmosphere represents approximately 2.13 gigatonnes of carbon, or 7.82 gigatonnes of CO2.
When I was a physics undergrad, they drilled it into us to always choose axis limits such that they just perfectly frame all measurement points (with some reasonable padding). This way, you see the most amount of detail. Like you say, having a graph that is mostly whitespace is of little value. Axes must be labeled properly anyway, so there is nothing misleading about it. If people who don't look at the axes are misled, well, that's always going to be the case.
Occasionally I enjoy viewing the HTML of websites to try to deduce what web framework they are using. I couldn't figure it out for this one, but here are some things that I find interesting:

- On line 90 of the homepage, there is a single script called `document.createElement('main');`

- The website uses the `<picture />` tag to support multiple sources for images

- script.js on the website has ANSI art of the US flag (https://ai.gov/wp-content/themes/static/ai46/assets/js/scrip...)

And the global averaged temperature was 20 degrees warmer. Also this increase has been faster by 100 fold compared to previous increases. This is about to get very chaotic and civilization crushing.
This isn't a risk the employee takes on as a result of doing business. It's a result of the company choosing to do this while also still making profits. So it's not really a risk, it's just mistreatment.
Eh you've just found a way to not feel guilty about your personal pollution.

I don't know what your friend says but I imagine it was along the lines of "it's not your fault! 80% of carbon emissions are due to these 5 oil producers!", conveniently ignoring the fact that it's ordinary people buying the oil...

Still, you can't fix this by hoping people and companies will care. We probably have to force them with laws. So voting is about all you can really do on a global scale.
Maybe revolut.com.
correct. now that openai has something, they want to implement alot of regulations so they can't get any competition. they have no tech moat, so they'll add a legal one.
I don't think 0 makes sense here. Nor does "50% lower in preindustrial times" makes sense either. The correlation between temperature and co2 exists, but the absolute values involved are not intuitive.

"The co2 level is N standard deviations out of the ordinary compared to preindustrial times" feels more useful here, but reading that requires basic statistics (which general audiences probably lacks).
I hate the name "Threads" because all it makes me think about is nuclear war.
Not sure I can predict whether civilization(s) will be crushed, but I generally agree with you.
