I wanted to write this comment too, as I have a serious concern that the effort to displace GPL tools with Rust rewrites in MIT/Apache will one day lead to a proprietary Linux, but the original sudo is not in GPL. It's in an ISC/MIT style license [1].

Everyone here is not seeing the elephant in the room. No country will implement KYC on foreign money. It's free money. Yet, we live in world where pretty much every country requires a residence (and a dozen other documents) to open a bank account except, uhm, the USA.

I find the money transfer system created in Malaysia to be interesting. It started as a transfer system between banks, then an e-wallet that you can use to pay in stores, then they added a Visa card, then they integrated with Singapore, Indonesia and Thailand where you can pay locally with your MYR wallet. Now they added a remittance service that basically acts as a SWIFT transfer (though it looks expensive). It seems like they have found a way around the KYC rules. I wonder how long they can keep at it before they get hammered and if they can increase their Fx integrations to more countries.

My understanding was that Go channels / CSP solves concurrency in a multithreaded environment where reads/writes need to coordinated, but since JavaScript is single threaded, I'm not sure I understand why they would be useful in JavaScript. In JavaScript concurrent tasks can simply communicate by writing/reading shared variables.

Expanding on your point, when people say 'overseas' they should be more specific. To take an extreme example, spending a bunch of time in France is different than say Somalia.

This comment is extremely rude.

"Have you just tried not having ADHD?" is what I've been told thousands of times. Yeah man, I've tried. I am extremely fit, exercise all the time, have a great Vo2 max, lift weights, sleep 9 hours a night, and don't snore. I'm vegetarian and eat very little sugar (I've even done keto for five years with no change in symptoms).

If I was neurotypical, sleep and exercise would help a lot more. But I'm not. I instead have to use dozens of alarms on my phone, pair programming, hyperfocus training, and deadline panic to get through the work week. Home stuff remains in shambles, still haven't figured out how to do the dishes or put clothes away.

And I've got a pretty mild case.

Some of my friends are much much worse off.
No, because I have reasons to type and it is those reasons which express what I am doing.

An LLM has no reason to be doing anything; it is not responsive to reasons.

If I say, "i like what you're wearing" i may: be flitring, expressing my taste, being enouraging, etc -- perhaps all at once.

It is precisely all these reasons for action which LLMs lack. They generate text on the occasion of a prompt, not for any reason (in this sense) at all. So literally: they do not act.

An LLM is more like a river than a person. The flow of electrons which brings about a response to a prompt is a (very narrowly) deterministic function of a historical corpus of text.

Whereas a person is a narrowly non-deterministic, or very broadly deterministic, function of their experiences and capacities. People grow in their environments, and in growing, acquire novel dispositions which give them reasons for acting.

The word "just" here is very important. They are, very much, just generating text.

There really isnt any significant achivement here at all. Big tech companies stole decade's worth of our electronic data --- comments, books, forums we created to share with each other -- and ran it through many-mil-$ hardware costing many-mil-$ electricity. They ran it through a fundamentally simple algorithm.

All the achivement here is ours as a species communicating digitally and recording our lives. I regard OpenAI, et al. as profoundly parasitical on this. Replaying ourselves back to us, and claiming "ChatGPT" as an author.

This scam-framing hoodwinks investors, and the public, into ever higher valuations based on ever more ridiculous hagiography. There is a tool here, and it's value comes from us

> Well, it's a "I know it when I see it" thing.

Not really helpful as a rubric honestly. If you can decide one day a word isn't a swear word but the next maybe you feel like it, seems like you're more interested in crafting and following arbitrary rules than any benefit gained from such rules.

> However, I'm also trying to remove the use of non-vulgar words where others would use swear words, such as just saying, "I hate that thing," instead of "I hate that bloomin' thing."

Is the constant self policing not a mental burden?

> Benefits? Having a cleaner mouth gives me a perception advantage. Also, it forces me to be more creative with how I express myself, which increases my communication skills and wordsmithing in writing.

You can still be expressive and have a deep appreciation and use of diction, with out arbitrary limits to your vocabulary.

If your saying you are attempting to alter your own perspective by adjusting your language to better match your perspective, I agree with the practice, just unclear how a loosely and arbitrary group of words are harming you in material way.
There are many funny comments in here but I think they are all valid in a tragic-comic way. Rust is actually that hard that only a small share of developers will ever master it and those who master will be certainly the more intelligent one.
Rehearsing and replaying conversations is common with ADHD, as is the "relieving a moment in a way that is so real that you end up speaking out loud in response to the relived memory" part.

The official Rust book is the way to go. That being said, you "should" only learn it if this is actually your domain – for example because you're a C++ developer currently or so. You really don't need it in other software engineering domains.

Lots of people are concerned about that too. Probably the same sort of people actually.
Bing's issue (as a layperson) is that it's regressed to 90's internet start page; I just opened it up, starts off alright with a pretty picture and a search bar, but then an advert opens up for its Dall-E / AI integration and a list of recent news shows at the bottom.

Then searching, a cookie banner shows, a popup points me to a feature on the top right, and the main content suddenly vanishes (probably because I have an adblocker, which blocked 35 items). The "New Bing" opens up another thing where you can ask the AI things... just like Ask Jeeves did 25 years ago.

this seems to be a rather regular dynamic with clubs/groups/meetups where kind of an elite is forming which thinks of the club as theirs and organizes is in such a way that this state is preserved. newbies will be screened and usually only accepted if they display total agreement with the present affairs. this leads to progressive spiritual inbreeding and inevitable downfall. possible exceptions are if there is a leader who with regard to the groups goals does an exceptional job. benevolent dictators like linus torvalds come to mind. but even here cards are redealt as soon as that leader is gone.
If you look at the shape of those tracks it's more surprising that this only turned into a "minor" derailing, although of course the initial video is sped up quite a bit.

John Oliver had a segment on train derailments a while back (can't find the YT video) and it seems that a lot of US rail infrastructure including the trains are just in very bad shape and there don't seem to be any federal regulations forcing them to invest whereas the environmental damage often ends up being swept under the rug.

Not that German rail is anything to brag about but I can't imagine we'd be allowed to let a train go anywhere near a track that looked like that.

Lock-free and wait-free algorithms are not necessary for any computing task.

They are only a performance enhancement and they indeed require either compare-and-swap (simple and double) from the IBM System/370 (1973) (later used by Motorola MC68020, then simple compare-and-swap was added to 486 and double compare-and-swap to Pentium) or load-locked + store-conditional from the S-1 Advanced Architecture Processor (LLNL, 1987) (later used by MIPS, then by POWER, ARM and others).

Moreover, even for improving the performance the lock-free and wait-free algorithms must be used with care, because they are based on optimistic assumptions that may fail to be true in many scenarios with heavily contended shared resources, when the performance of the algorithms based on mutual exclusion is actually higher and more predictable (with mutual exclusion it is easy to guarantee FIFO access to a shared resource, which ensures that the wait times are bounded and that at any moment there is at least one thread that does useful work instead of retrying failed accesses to the shared resource).

>As someone with ADHD, this wildly misrepresents the actual disorder. ADHD itself has nothing to do with time, it has to do with executive function. Someone with ADHD can try to will themselves into doing something and simply not be able to.

That's misleading. ADHD does involve executive function issues, as it does other issues, including sensory issues like noise and light sensitivity (that have nothing to do with executive function), issues with body balance/proprioception (also nothing to do with executive function), issues like rejection sensitivity, as well as time issues ("time blindness").
You're not wrong. Chase has 18.5 million checking accounts and 25 million debit cards, so they can afford to lose a whole lot of small customers while still saving a bunch of money with the automation.

Yes, I do assume that any AGI that is "a lot smarter than us" such that it is "game over" will have to possess human-like reasoning that would also allow it to adjust its own goals, otherwise it's going to be restricted in a way that makes it less capable than us.

It seems to me that you want to have it both ways... a machine that is so smart and strategic that there is no way any human intelligence could ever outsmart or outplay it; but also so narrow and limited in how its goals are defined that it is incapable of adjusting its own course of action.

I'll be honest, I don't understand how anyone who builds real machines in real life can seriously consider a machine built with such a narrowly defined goal (produce paper-clips) that also possesses the kind of capabilities you're imagining as a side effect (a lot smarter than us, game over).

I find a lot of these AI concepts lack a rigor that is commonplace in normal computer science... for instance, you can show that one problem can be reduced to another problem which has been proven to have certain limits, therefore the first problem can not break those limits without breaking the proof [comparison sorting will always be O(nlogn)].

When it comes to the "alignment problem" as it pertains to AI that have human-level capabilities, it seems to me that you have a similar situation... doesn't this problem just reduce to the same ethical, moral, and philosophical issues we have in aligning human intelligence with some cultural or civic ideal for behavior? Isn't the "alignment problem" the same problem as "how do you raise a good citizen"?
I had this idea a few years ago. I wanted a place where you could get access to say car lifts, welders, cnc machines, etc. The usual stuff that's hard to keep at your own home.

I lived in a condo where car work was prohibited. But I also wanted loud machines etc.

I wasn't concerned with cost, but what's the liabilities? What if someone kills themselves accidentally with this dangerous equipment. Also for this reason, insurance companies won't touch you and there's legal regulations which basically make it impossible.

Show HN: Primus News – Actionable news, directly from the primary source
Primus News aims to focus on news with two qualities:

1. Actionable: news that you can act on in your daily life, things that have a meaningful answer to the question "what can I do with this information?"

2. Direct from the source: when news comes directly from the primary source, you get the most accurate picture of the information, rather than getting a version that's been manipulated to fit a news agency's financial/ideological goals.

My aim is to source this news directly from the RSS feeds of the entity that's reporting it.

This is also a Progressive Web App, so it can be installed on your phone by:

iOS: tapping the share button in the browser and tapping "add to home screen"

Android: tapping the 3 dot menu and tapping "install"

>Not to mention all of crypto on and off ramps are incredibly centralized

The major ones, yes. That's because most of the decentralized ones got shut down or closed voluntarily out of fear of getting prosecuted on ML charges. LocalBitcoins is a good example, first they got their site blocked in authoritarian countries like Russia. Then they had to restrict service in some US states and other more liberal places as well. Finally they shut down operations completely.

The question is if people still want to fight for such liberties or not. There are multiple countries working on CBDCs and to abolish or at least severely restrict cash payments. In many EU countries this is already reality. For example France has a limit of 1000€ for residents.

Cash is a quasi anonymous form of payment, in self-custody. Throughout history something similar has always existed, be it metal coins or even earlier forms of money. There is a real danger as we're on our way to go fully digital to lose control over this freedom to governments and/or banks.

I can tell you right now that that's a utopian vision.

Most "sides" would be spam. Wikipedia has elaborate filters to keep spammers out, from IP range blocking to URLs you can't use in edits if you want the edit to actually go through. Since spam can be automated, and since there's a person on the other end of that automation hoping for a payout, it seeps into pretty much everything that isn't actively maintained.

For me, it's knowing what you want to do but being unable to do it.

That's expressed quite poorly, I know, let me try harder. "...knowing what you want to do..." is not at any point in time or in any specific dimension. It is literally what I write and can be as simple as "pick up the leaf off the floor", it doesn't need to be valuable, expected, novel, easy, hard, etc. "...being unable to do it..." is not unable to reify an ideal or perfection. It's being unable to consistently "do", to however you define "do", to whatever you set out to do no matter how small, simple, easy you make it.

What made that hard for me was before the diagnosis I didn't have enough language to make sense of that in a way that wasn't damaging to some aspect of myself. And in me that created an early bias to the shutting down of expression. A retreat into my mind, as the stuff of minds is not as limited by the doing.

The diagnosis is a shortcut, a way to tap into the work others have done. And that work is so easily applicable because what I thought was a problem unique to me is shared so strikingly by other people in the ADHD/autism cohort. It took me a long time to find that out.

And just as a minor counterpoint to some comments, the pressure never came from my parents or teachers or... (well it did come from needing to exist materially in the world) but from myself. So while it may be convenient to think that the problem with ADHD is the 'system', it's not required. It's not required because in the mind, the system and the I are the same thing and cannot be separated.
