I dont think people are negative about ai, but rather about how its built and what it’s used for. At least that’s my case. Ai is a great tool, but training it on people’s property, without permission or recognition is harmful. Equally using it to manipulate people, spread misinformation and generate spam is detrimental to tech overall. Worse, spreading fear and claiming to want using it to replace people - after stealing their work - instead of creating value and new industries is just petty. Therefore i will forever hold the people that promote ai in that manner in contempt to the end of time. To see so many smart people simply fall for and parrot the idiocy that ai will replace workers is sad. Sam altman and his bros knew that FUD works and went that path. The sheeple followed.

Instead ai should be promoted as what it is - a job and growth creator and should be built honouring people’s property. It can be done and should be done that way.

Ahhh that makes 100% sense, definitely especially if you were on Linux.

Not that I've ever stuck with one long enough. And I might have not done this at all with this latest Mac, I tried stage manager. But had gave up on that too last week.
Oxide will eat Supermicro's lunch. There's no offering that Supermicro and other vendors can offer that comes close to what an integrated Oxide rack will provide.
I don't think HR really cares either. Ivy League provides you with contacts to get into the room. An advocate already on the inside who will call up HR and get them to move you into the "Consider" pile.
We're eventually going to have to give up on the notion that we must understand the inner workings of the things we build. That's arguably starting to happen now. Not 100% sure it's a bad thing, but it's certainly scary.

We've long since reached the point at which no one can be said to be a true polymath ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Man_Who_Knew_Everythi... ). Having lost the ability as individuals to know something about everything, we're now losing the ability to know everything about anything.

I'm pretty sure that while the most popular programming languages today are Python and Javascript, the most popular ones 10 years from now will be English and Mandarin. Everything we know about software development is about to change. It's about time.
The problem should be inverted - use the package tracking number as code. This way, every code is unique, hard to guess, and the delivery person has it literally printed on the box. Being able to update the lock with expected tracking numbers is something that could be done simply and via local network.
Apple was supposed to vet them. I expect that answer from razer.

Only took a few years for them to admit it failed under normal use, by that time it was long outdated. I don't pretend waiting at the apple store is a luxury anymore. The brand is tainted to me.

You're right. And I realize I can't answer the question. But I wonder how much it matters? If a colleague and I disagree on whether some authorization logic counts as business logic or not, what is at stake?
I agree. When possible/working with sound, I would take a tactile experience (right-brain/feel?) over a mathematical/analytical experience (left-brain/logic?). I also don't know music theory and I haven't dedicated time to learn math, so I lean on my intuition more than anything.
This will never happen, "legacy call" of functions manipulating the control stack in weird ways can never be meaningful. OTOH the reverse is not always true but a good system should have it: transparent recasting of pure code as effectful code. In other words, the problem that should be solvable but isn't always is that you should be able to "await" a pure function. Or more generally, transparent subtyping of less effectful code into more effectful. Subtyping isn't easy but it's also not impossible if you think about it early enough during the design.

> How about amazon builds (at their expense) an amazon controlled box, slap a mcu on, do authentication over nfc, rfid, etc etc. Offer it to customers free of charge, hell throw in a sweetener to get them to adopt.

I mean, they already do exactly this — this is what Amazon Lockers are. It's just only seemingly worth it to Amazon to deploy them to commercial customers, e.g. at post offices, in front of Whole Foods locations, in some very large apartment building complexes, etc.

(My own guess as to why the economics don't work out for individual residences, is that a hypothetical smaller locker — one small enough to fit on a porch — would also inherently be lightweight enough for thieves to just cart away wholesale.)

The LLM hype is maybe blinding us to all the other use cases that the new powerful GPUs will provide. Maybe the real progress was the ability to train increasingly large models. I don’t think LLMs will solve most problems but there will

Yes, there is definitely harm. If I was abused as a child, I don't want those images continuing to circulate and be seen by anyone. This is like the revenge porn laws. I want control over my naked image.

I still don't agree with these laws, though. The good outweighs the bad.

Besides, I suspect that AI CSAM will probably be more interesting and more satisfying in the future to those that desire it, and that creates a whole separate conversation.
A WiFi router built into the car is something I'd classify as internal networking for the purpose of this thread.

I have never quite got this band. Everybody says that they are the fathers of Heavy Metal and Hard Rock and this album especially should represent all that, but they are very light celtic tunes to my ear, and especially their most successful single Stairway to Heaven.

Black Sabbath are the fathers of heavy metal and hard rock, I think they must have had a bad promoter (compared to LedZep) and the fact that they'd play just 1h compared to Zeppelin 4h marathons also made them less relevant in the grapevine
Cryptography can be used to hide something, or prove something. The word cryptography encapsulates two different disciplines, cryptography and provegraphy. People who use the term crypto-* to refer to blockchain, do not know that blockchain has nothing to do with hiding information, but it has everything to do with proving information.

So the question becomes, what information are you interested on proving to someone on the internet? Say you want to ask an Israeli on Twitter about some bomb stuff and you want to prove you are a reporter. Say you want to prove in a comment on HN, that a repository on github is yours.

However one problem arises. The digital identity or identities, have to be stored somewhere. What happens if there is an outage? OpenAI had a multiple hour outage just today, and an ISP in Australia had a 12 hour outage yesterday. In that case, people cannot prove digitally their identity or identities (hundred of them if they like), even in real life.

The Greek government requires for the digital identity to be proven, access to internet[1]. I was just researching that right now.

Last, Estonia tries to secure the digital identities of their citizens on the blockchain[2]. Why digital identities need to be secured on a blockchain? Just a server or two, in a government building are not enough? How could a globally competitive network of miners, each one holding the digital information independent of any other, be more secure than the one or two servers solution?

Personally I think that SuperMicro (and oxide) scratches a niche that dell, hpe, ibm and other "on premise" enterprise solutions don't really seem to care about. The smaller, but hyperscaler style of DC without dealing with the bullshit from those sales reps. I think over the next 5-10 years, the pendulum will swing back to either colocated or on-prem compute/storage now that places like AWS, Azure and GCP have critical mass with minimal incentives to lower their prices.

Supermicros AMD 1u products, GPU and storage products don't really have competition price-wise from other providers, and the TCO for a colocated beast of a server is like 20% of AWS over 3 years. SuperMicro has a bunch of 32dimm servers and their ram isn't marked up insane like other companies. And their 60 and 90 3.5 inch drive servers are really hard to beat price-wise for distributed storage.

I predict that Libgen/SciHub and pirate sites in generall will be rendered functionally inaccessible in the developed west in the coming years. My reasoning is as follows:

Historically, IP owners have tried various strategies to increase revenues by curtailing infringement. In the early 2000s, IP owners tried to extract revenue directly from pirates via honeypot torrents and ISP subpoenas. Since about 2010, IP owners have shifted towards a more passive approach where they prioritize infringement for commercial purposes only and largely leave piracy for personal consumption alone. It just didn't make sense to chase after teenagers and students who probably wouldn't have had the money to make a legit purchase anyway.

LLMs trained on huge corpuses that include pirated content like LibGen change everything. Now, these IP holders face an existential (or at least severe) threat to their business models in the form of AI generated content. At the very least, these IP holders missed out on a massive opportunity to extract some the wealth created by AIs by virtue of their laxity in going after easily available pirate content.

I'd expect to see a strong swing back towards very draconian enforcement of against even personal infringement: domestic ISP DNS blocking, perhaps even mandatory browser or operating system level blocking of infringement.
There's a similar problem in the software dev world. It's very desirable to provide examples of your past work, but if that work was done for an employer, then you usually can't show it to anyone.

Lots of devs have hobby projects in part to generate work that they own and therefore can show to others.

Literally every neighboring country has been refusing to take Palestinian refugees. The last time Lebanon let a bunch in, they had a civil war.

The neighboring Arab countries seem to hate them at least as much, if not more, than anyone else.

They come up with other nominal reasons, but it's pretty clear when you look at the policies.

FWIW, I used Windows for a LONG time before begrudgingly having to use a Mac for my development work, as I was doing iOS development and no one else was putting up with my I-will-claim-perfectly-reasonable alternative Linux toolchain... and Mac's keyboard shortcuts are so much more consistent that when I went back to using Windows it was the one thing I seriously missed. Hell: Mac OS even has Emacs-style cursor commands available in pretty much all native controls... Linux doesn't even have that (I'm using Linux right now and am still sad it isn't like Mac, and I had also been using Linux since I was a kid).
No contributor writes consistently (truly) thorough unit tests and no reviewer performs consistently thorough line-by-line analysis.

It’s extremely valuable to have multiple layers of verification, and fast-cheap static analysis tools like linters have a tremendously high ROI as one of those layers, especially in languages with many subtle syntax surprises.
I dunno, it feels like a gamble every time. I don’t really need any of the extra stuff. Bitcoin is a few clicks and I know it got there.

Professional escrow is not cheap. The first year, when you have to demonstrate a complete build and 'bring up' process with them the price seems pretty good as it's a lot of work. Funnily they don't seem to offer a multi year deal.

The second year there is much less work but they double the cost. You go along with that as it takes a lot of work on your part to engage a new escrow firm from scratch.

The next year they double it again. It's still demanded by your large corporate customers and you try to pass on the costs but they don't want to pay it.

A few times I've left a very big note that says "PLEASE KNOCK LOUDLY" while sitting in my livingroom facing the door just to never see the UPS or FedEx delivery person approach but get a text message about "no one responding" so they reschedule the pickup (and I can't pick it up at the hub a few miles down the road because it's closed...). One time I chased a driver who literally just threw a note on my door (no sign like other time) and very clearly did not knock. I mean I watched them... They just walked up, box in hand, put the note on the door, and walked away. Rushing. USPS also often won't deliver small packages that fit in my mailbox because "a car was in the way" (definitely not true) despite delivering larger packages to my apartment's office the same day/time...

I'm not sure what hell these jobs are that turns drivers into such shitty people, but I feel pretty confident that it is the system turning them into shitty delivery drivers rather than exclusively shitty people applying for delivery jobs.
Not the banking industry but I had an issue with a leaked Twilio key once and it was a funny conversation like that. They kept telling me that I had been a victim of fraud (long story, a contractor pushed a key to a public GitHub repo). It only took about 7 repetitions for them to finally acknowledge that it was in fact Twilio who had been the victim of fraud: someone, pretending to be me, had asked them to send $1000 worth of Netflix spam and they obliged.

It wasn’t ever really resolved in a satisfactory way but it got to the point where I was so frustrated and tired that I said “fine, we can settle on $200” because it wasn’t really worth pursuing further (based on my hourly rate and how much wasted time I’d already sunk into it)
A lot of it exists to sell your lat/lng and trip information to organizations like Wejo, who then goes on to sell it to gov organizations.
In some hands, empowering, in other hands, a weapon. It's less about smartphones specifically and more an abstraction for the internet itself. Take the internet away and it removes the metaphysical vector for exploitative outreach to children.

Sec. 17-51. Computer tampering.
(a) A person commits computer tampering when he or she knowingly and without the authorization of a computer's owner or in excess of the authority granted to him or her:
(1) Accesses or causes to be accessed a computer or any part thereof, a computer network, or a program or data;

(a-10) For purposes of subsection (a), accessing a computer network is deemed to be with the authorization of a computer's owner if:
(1) the owner authorizes patrons, customers, or guests to access the computer network and the person accessing the computer network is an authorized patron, customer, or guest and complies with all terms or conditions for use of the computer network that are imposed by the owner;

The conclusion is that fascism is an extremely powerful drug -- it only took a few days and some very simple, blunt instruments to get people hooked. This is why when you see highly educated e/acc people, tech bubble people, VCs etc. tinkering inquisitively, semi-ironically with taboo right-wing ideas on twitter it's not really very funny or cute.

Nick Land really did wield strong black magic from Leamington Spa. That stuff really works, it echoes for decades, and it is as powerful and radioactive as people say it is.

Why are people susceptible to this? I don't know, I think that's a bit like asking "why are people into heroin" -- "it is extremely powerful -- it temporarily makes everything make sense and feel good " is maybe the way to put it.
It's an interesting question. Generational wealth only matters if some are able to do it while others are not. In other words, the only thing that really matters is inequality. I'd rather totally get rid of generational wealth (ie. inheritance) and have everyone start from the same place (or perhaps an adjusted position to compensate for other factors).

Spain has lower inequality than the UK and a lot lower than the US. Inequality in the US is rising, but inequality in Spain appears to be rising rapidly. This might be because those buildings are owned by private entities who are building generational wealth.

I have 10+ of such lockers within 5 minutes walk of my apartment. Now how is that possible?

The type system in TypeScript can compose types from string literals using a similar syntax.

Obviously, this is runtime code, not a type declaration, but you can see how a new or tired/busy developer’s brain might spit this out in the wrong place.
dependencies have a way of sneaking up on a person. if there was a clear demarcation at which you'd say "they're locking us in: i'm leaving now while i still can!", then that's not the route by which you'll be locked in. yet, even those of us who keep an eye out for these things, we all probably observe ourselves to be locked into one or more things in our life right now: how did each of those happen?

I am a professional developer, and I'll take the verbose, ugly, but readable code every time. Clever code that makes me work harder to understand what it does has a greater chance of being missed, blindly trusted, or just misunderstood, and that causes us untold numbers of headaches.
