No one is working on this in a serious way. Some are aware of it, the terms "demographic implosion" and "demographic time bomb" are used when discussing it.

It's generally considered a right-wing talking point, and those who discuss it are lumped in with white supremacists and other similar kooks and villains.

Inasmuch there is a solution, some say that we can replace the missing citizens with immigrants. The trouble there being that they too will soon stop showing up (Africa's fertility rates are dropping too).

It is unlikely that the trend is reversible. The social environment of low fertility normalizes the idea of low fertility in children and young people, who then not only practice and reinforce it in their generation, but amplify it for the next.
they became popular just a bit after I finished all the RE work, so no didn't use any for it
Hmm... How much is human psychology - Scarce & Expensive is Desirable; Cheap & Plentiful is Low Class - discouraging migration from IPv4 to IPv6?
I appreciate the overall sentiment of the post, but I can't say I would choose anything like the implementation the author is suggesting.

My takeaway is to avoid relying too heavily on LLMs both in terms of the scope tasks given to them as well as relying too heavily on any specific LLM. I think this is correct for many reasons. Firstly, you probably don't want to compete directly with ChatGPT, even if you are using OpenAI under the hood, because ChatGPT will likely end up being the better tool for very abstract interaction in the long run. For instance, if you are building an app that uses OpenAI to book hotels and flights by chatting with a bot, chances are someday either ChatGPT or something by Microsoft or Google will do that and make your puny little business totally obsolete. Secondly, relying too heavily on SDKs like the OpenAI one is, in my opinion, a waste of time. You are better off with the flexibility of making direct calls to their REST API.

However, should you be adding compilers to your toolchain? IMO, any time you add a compiler, you are not only liable to add a bunch of unnecessary complexity but you're making yourself dependent upon some tool. What's particulry bad about the author's example is that it's arguably completely unnecessary for the task at hand. What's so bad about React or Svelte that you want to use a component cross-compiler? That's a cool compiler, but it sounds like a complete waste of time and another thing to learn for building web apps. I think every tool has its place, but just "add a compiler, bruh" is terrible advice for the target audience of this blog post.

IMO, the final message of the article should be to create the most efficient toolchain for what you want to achieve. Throwing tools at a task doesn't necessarily add value, nor does doing what everyone else is doing necessarily add value; and either can be counterproductive in not just working on LLM app integration but software engineering in general.

Kudos to the author for sharing their insight, though.
Once my IPv6 worked i stopped taking GitHub seriously.
They are rolling out generative ai in their search.
Pre-approved thinking is a good description of this article.

Well literally any company can do that so nothing surprising there.
Crisis Point in AI?
"Corporate capture threatens to derail EU AI Act"
Hollow people have to fill it with something. Using $BIGNUMBER whether that be money, users, or the like rarely works out in the long term.
This is a thought-provoking post and I agree with the "avoid using AI as long as possible" point. AI is best used for things that can only be accomplished with AI--if there's any way to build the feature or solve the problem without it, then yeah, do that instead. Since everyone now has more or less equal access to the best models available, the best products will necessarily be defined by everything they do that's not AI--workflows, UIs, UX, performance, and all that other old-fashioned stuff.

I'm not so sure about the "train your own model" advice. This sounds like a good way to set your product up for quick obsolescence. It might differentiate you for a short period of time, but within 6-12 months (if that), either OpenAI or one of its competitors with billions in funding is going to release a new model that blows yours out of the water, and your "differentiated model" is now a steaming pile of tech debt.

Trying to compete on models as a small startup seems like a huge distraction. It's like building your own database rather than just using Postgres or MySQL. Yes, you need a moat and a product that is difficult to copy in some way, but it should be something you can realistically be the best at given your resources.
I think you are right, but it's also possible to do something purely for other's benefit without expecting reciprocation. That requires a strong center and a real purpose driving action.
Even with the lights operating at half throttle, there is also a significant amount of energy in the non-visible spectrum from 6 of them focused on a small area for 5 hours. It’s amazing the acrylic windows didn’t melt, only the foam seal around them.
Yeah, everyone points out that "if its free, you are the product" then Google and Microsoft do all kinds of shitty stuff due to their products being cheap/free, then people scream about Apple's hardware markups.
It is amazing how you jumped to "favoring profits" conclusion from this article, which doesn't even mention that the plans were rejected because there was no data supporting their effectiveness to any degree.
If you've used VR passthrough, you'll know that the latency will not work out well. You have to capture, analyze, calculate, and project in low, single digit milliseconds, against a moving target from a moving target
> we can already see this by compiling build and proc macro crates with optimizations, it's just not the default and they still have to be compiled once.

I'm hopeful something like watt (https://github.com/dtolnay/watt) will land in Cargo that'll allow us to ship pre-compiled wasm blobs for proc-macros so we can just have sandboxed binaries.
> IP addresses were intended to be a public good.

Were they though? The first few blocks auctioned off all went to large tech institutions
I agree and have said similar things. The address exhaustion thing is an excuse for tons of unrelated changes in v6, plus resetting ownership.
So in a good case scenario say AI continues on it's current exponential pace, most information workers are replaced by an agent, and a UBI comes about. What then? For people the life's journey is often more important than the destination, but now we are essentially playing on a God mode and everything comes too easy. This is something i've been dealing with, It will be hard trying to find a purpose when your contributions dont mean much. Your family and some hobbies is alls left to contribute to. We will be like spoilt children who have everything given to them on a silver platter, will it make us miserable?
It also increases the cost of every new car. People complain about housing, and goods like cars being expensive. But many fail to realize that every do-good law has a cost.

OT: Classic Outlook can be a database and file server portal. I have never seen anyone use it for this purpose. I tried to build an application using this feature. It was difficult because of how poorly documented this is.
One might leave the answer for why the only articles covering this regulation in mainstream sources are fact checking misinterpretations of the law (as opposed to a headline with what the law actually says) as a worthwhile exercise for the reader
It's a prediction that only seems true because there's still some human around to state it. Rather like proclaiming that I am certainly immortal because I've never died.
I was extremely happy with everything mullvad was doing until they announced they were discontinuing port forwarding, which is important to a niche part of my setup. I understand the reasoning, but if it came back ever I would again happily be a customer.
>we would end up with extremely high average age, and not enough young people to support the elderly or the economy in 30-40 years.

Thats the best case scenario, because economies would dictate massive adoption of AI assisted technologies.

At which point you won't have issues like kids being born out of selfishness because you need someone to take care of you in later years.
This comes up every time, but it doesn't make any sense. Routers, software, IT professionals, would've all been just as happy to not support IPv4.1 as they have been to not support IPv6. At this point though the inflection point has already been passed adoption-wise and AWS needs to just do the thing already.
We don't know what they're upgrading from, they could have an M1 already. If they do have an Intel machine, then yes, they should ideally buy an M1 rather than spending more for M2 or M3 which don't really seem to be that large of a jump but for a proportionally higher cost.
You're welcome. I don't disagree.

I know the prices on AirBnB are a lie too, but they still make me unhappy.

I know the unlimited data plans are not unlimited, but I am no happier due to this knowledge when I see their ads.

I know if I buy a perpetual license for a service, it will probably stop functioning in less than 5 years, but I am not more content when it happens because of this knowledge.

People are complaining about the expected tip percentage rising well above 20%. But they feel unhappy about this, instead of mentally adding 30% to the list prices and counting that as the real price and imagining the tip is 0.

At this point, it should be fascinating if we find an instance where human emotions don't work like this, rather than if they do.
ChatGPT worse since dev day?
is it just me or is chatGPT worse since the last update ? And I frankly don't understand the excitement around customs GPTs. If OpenAI is doing that kind of thing one year after the release of GPT-3, it might mean that their moat is evaporating pretty fast too and they no longer have a lot of excellent new stuff to propose. Hence the regulatory capture play.
>The second amendment experiment has been a disaster. No other country wants to replicate it.

There was a time when I thought the same. I very much agreed with Michael Moore, but then I learnt more. The second amendment is literally the only thing holding the USA together right now. In my opinion anyway.

>You can’t make illegal drugs in your home, why do you expect that the manufacture or firearms can’t be regulated?

You absolutely can make illegal drugs in your home. Many people do and they'll never be caught. The actual crime is selling those illegal drugs. If you never sell, the police are never going to catch you.

Personally, the drug war has been an abject failure. In my opinion anyway.

> I am guessing you mean that it will not be practically feasible to prevent people from making their own firearms. I would say that it depends upon the penalty.

Rifling buttons and cnc machines are quite available at very cheap prices.

3d printed guns are even a thing.

What penalty? The right to bear arms in the USA shall not be infringed. The proposed laws of requiring 3d printer owners to have background checks like firearm owners might become a thing but there won't be any infringing penalties.
One was trust the experts, the other was we need more proof. Which was anti science?
Quite sure it just uses _NET_WM_PID and fails if it isn't there. At least as far as I remember I had issues terminating my own application with xkill until I set the _NET_WM_PID myself, the framework I used only did the bare minimum to get a window on the screen.
I think you have it the wrong way around.

Scarce & Desirable is Expensive; Low Class & Plentiful is Cheap

It doesn't always go both ways.
Braid was a life changing game for me. Hit me at exactly the right time in my youth to really “get” art for the first time.
How is asking questions and sharing opinions, the heart of HN, now trolling?
I'm curious, why can't you use an elastic IP?
I have a hunch if they remained on android core and specifically prevented sideloading it would spark more backlash than simply switching to another platform. This way they gain complete control of the ecosystem with less backlash. Less tech savvy people will buy it, and more tech literate people will skip it altogether as they couldn't profit off them anyways.
Ah yes, the hypothetical menace justifies the actual terror.

Also those rockets barely do damage. “Countless dead” is hyperbole. And destroying hospitals, bombing civilians, and murdering journalists doesn’t stop the rockets.

Miss me with your Hasbara talking points, thanks.
I got as far as the subtitle before giving up.

Sure they are. Americans are guaranteed a freedom of religion, which supersedes all logic and intellectual reason.

This author's definition of "free speech" is not easily reconciled with the Bill of Rights...
It is, it also makes so much money, that google can pay people tons and basically throw all the amenities at them to keep them happy.
Hmm weird. Did you try to just do "sudo pkg install vscode" ?

Don't try to download it from the website, this won't work as freebsd is not a supported platform but it's simply in the package collection and works great as such.
It stands for Fan eXpansion but it has become a lot more.
Weird and neat are not mutually exclusive. In fact, I'd argue they often go hand-in-hand.
At least it’s not like I have no mouth and I must scream. /s

Was Jezebel ever profitable? Maybe I'm a fool but I find it hard to believe that anyone was clicking on the endless stream of "men are the worst" articles. It seems like a startup company that tried a niche and found no value there. Glad we got that out of the way, I guess.

There is so much available in the open model world. Take a look at the Hugging Face Hub - there are 1000s of models that can be used as-is or as a starting point.

And those models don't have to be LLMs. It's still a valid approach to use a smaller BERT model as a text classifier.
way to move the goal posts.
I've been really thrilled with the win-win that's occured between the Linux community and Valve with the SteamDeck. I love my SteamDeck, but I love even more than I see benefits every day on my desktop computer that were side-effects of Valve developing the SteamDeck.
C++ compiles times are awful insomuch as you have to do the multiple times because the "template barf" makes finding root causes very challenging, esp with multiple problems.

Rust makes the problems easier to fix, IMHO. So, maybe even with same (or slightly longer) compile times, you'll hopefully have faster time to delivery.
v6 introduces more hurdles. New different kinds of addresses (link-local, etc). No more NAT by default. Existing v4 addresses not accessible over it. In contrast, switching to this "v4.1" would be low-risk. You just support longer addresses, that's it.
Worth paying attention to whose things are being broken and whose things are being reinforced as a result.
There has to be a vision for the future where 1) LLMs aren’t the down fall of humanity, ushering in the end of all creative output and 2) the panacea that releases us from the chains of all the mundane parts of life, allowing anyone to do anything their heart desires.

I’m just tired of reading about either future. Both visions are just exhausting. It’ll be somewhere in between that eventually becomes immensely boring and mundane.

Life will be better, probably. Daily life will be different, slightly. You’ll still have a device with a screen, but now the user interaction is a little different. Will things people fully generated have a softened corporate-safe vibe? Yeah, probably. Will we look back at the past and think it’s archaic? Yes. Will things involve less human misery hours to organize and set up? Yes, by a bit. Will people still make art, definitely, but maybe they can make the boring parts with AI faster now. Seems boring, but optimistic to me.
ST-LinkV2s, including the $8USD clones, work on nRF. (StLink-V3 does not).
My challenge in using the new Outlook with my hotmail account is that I disabled logging in to hotmail with my primary email address (too many hacking attempts from Russia). I use another email (yahoo) to login. This confuses the crap out of their signing in system. It assigns yahoo email protocol settings instead of hotmail/office protocol.
I heard that he was called Art Vandelay during that time.

Ask HN: Best way to refactor Rust to use Python syntax?
What is the best way to start if someone wants to change the syntax of rust programming language into python keeping its best features like speed?
People keep trotting this out (and there is another conversation about the same topic) but there have been no experiments or evidence to show IPv4 + an additional options header for the additional address parts to have worked better, in terms of compatibility and/or vendor uptake.

A similar issue came up when the internet migrated from class-based to classless IPv4 routing, and in that case, there were experiments that showed most networking gear continued to work and there was little to no adverse effect due to this switch.
Price is part of the quality of a product or else we’d all be buying the Vision Pro and the iPhone SE would just be confusing.
I was thinking "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky animals." (I think that's how it goes...) but this one is great too lol.
Sarno's book helped me tremendously as well. Turning 40 and still grappling (fingers crossed).

This game prepared me for work in big tech.

goes back to lifting ARPU before the giant floating hand slaps me
The DRAM chips themselves are asynchronous (there's no clock signal connected to the RAM chip), however they expect a sequence of operations with specific timings in order to work. The PET's solution was to create a small synchronous circuit to generate the control signals with the correct timings for the DRAM. This however wasn't the only way it could be done, as the other answer states how the PC/XT did it with delay lines.
I suspect that we need to go through cyberpunk to get to solarpunk. Cyberpunk is basically AI tyranny (corporations are just the oldest form of AI) and humanity needs to be humbled by encountering something smarter than ourselves before any kind of solarpunk can really 'stick'.
The "always" in your comment is only a few decades old. This scale of data collection simply hasn't been possible before.
It doesn't seem to be true though, or at least I can't find a purchase link.

I also don't see that in the original article at all.
If I'm understanding correctly, they are talking about how they are solving very specific problems with their models.

In this case, if you look two images up you will see e-commerce image with many images composted into one image/layer. How will their system automatically decide whether all those should be separate images/layers or one composted image? To do so they trained a model that examines web pages and <img> tags and see's their location. Basically, they are under the assumption that their data has good decisions and you can learn in which cases people use multiple vs one image.

I could be misunderstanding :)
So people who live in Minnesota just don't get to use cars for 4 months of the year? Autonomous vehicles cannot handle snow covered roads with emergently defined flocking based lanes and road edges. There's a reason the vast majority of autonomous vehicle testing is done in the arid southwest of the USA.
Posting an old news article without year to slide in your unpostable URL is just lame, not any kind of exercise for the reader.
And he also has quite a few incredibly stupid insights and ideas that others have to rein in (or wish they could rein in). It can be great to have someone like him as part of a team, but you do in fact need people familiar with the rules to override him when he tries to redefine well understood concepts because he's angry.
Supporting longer addresses still means there's no forwards compatibility from v4. Neighbor discovery replacing ARP, link local addresses, etc. are not really the source of headache when it comes to v6 deployments - the legacy environment that v4 created is.
I have the image of someone opening up the browser's dev tools to write JS in the console tab. I'll just leave them to it!
> I am about 80% of the way through integrating with the OAI assistant API.

I've been there. Turns out, the last 20% takes x10 the time and effort compared to these first 80%.
Or... you could try and look deeper than idiocy: there just might be something else. If only disenfranchising which can push people pretty far.

You would think most of the world would be clear on that by now?

The discussions within Cypherpunks for one place could get pretty "down to earth". It's still later than Neuromancer but people there seemed pretty thoughtful and explicit.

This kind of issue comes up all the time: "why do the poor do X", "why do these employees do Y"... You can usually figure out incentives that go beyond "idiocy". Recently on HN "why do people do multiple ACH or ACH-equivalent transfers?"
Advertisers Don't Want Sites Like Jezebel to Exist
The traditional method to achieve this is a ssh bastion. You have one tiny server running that has a publicly reachable IP, and can also reach the other servers (usually via the private network). You ssh into the bastion, then ssh from there into your actual server (or use port forwarding to make an ssh connection via the bastion, which some tooling supports out-of-the-box).

Considering the cheapest ec2 instance type is now cheaper than an ipv4 address this is easy to justify if the AWS specific options don't fit your usecase
Absolutely true, I suppose I just think that in this particular instance I don't identify with seeing or feeling anything "weird" about it.
> Better screens

Thinkpads usually have multiple screen options with base < mac < premium. That is, resolution, dpi, ips vs oled, refresh rate,.... .

That said:

- X1 Carbon with 32GB ram, 2 TB of storage and OLED screen (only 2.8k instead of 4k) is about 2600€

- MacBook pro is 3600€. The air you flat out cannot get with that much ram.

So color me unimpressed that 1000 more gets you something better.
There has been a improvements to move away from proprietary file formats and Windows only code, but there's still work that need to be done.
