How is that going to work practically? I mean who's going to exchange your pesos into dollars when that currency has been "denounced". I sure wouldn't, and so wouldn't Argentinians I'd Imagine, nor will they take old pesos for goods or services will they? In fact, I'd expect the peso inflation to accelerate as people want to get rid of them like hot potatoes.

Years from now we will look back to today as the watershed moment when ai went from technology capable of empowering humanity, to being another chain forged by big investors to enslave us for the profits of very few ppl.

The investors (Microsoft and the Saudi’s) stepped in and gave a clear message: this technology has to be developed and used only in ways that will be profitable for them.

Yeah this is much much less ambiguous than the Twitter things. At least answers my question of, "is there actually that much support for Altman?" Now the second question, much more important and still ambiguous IMO, is whether these people will actually resign to do this. The letter just says they "may" resign, which leaves really the last thing you want in an ultimatum like this: ambiguity.
I can’t speak to Argentina specifically (and I can’t even read the article behind the paywall).

However, this isn’t without precedent. Ecuador currently uses the US Dollar as its official currency.

If people are already transacting in USD, and prices are set in USD, and the peso is just a proxy for that in many transactions, I can understand the desire to cut out the middle man.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a roboticist. Robotics seemed so cool. Then I got into school and learned I have an extremely unsteady hand and I might be able to kill myself with a screwdriver. The pivot within my computer engineering major is how I ended up as a plain ol' webdev.

I was dissatisfied until I managed to fall into HealthTech. I like making processes easier for people. That was at the core of my robotics dream. In retrospect, I probably could have still become a roboticist even if I can't solder at all. But given how much I hated school at the end, it was best I gave up in year 2 on the dream. I wouldn't have done well in grad school.
Yeah, and you could get much better results if we would agree on taxing the boomers for their irresponsible car overuse.
My rich boomer parent bought a new car right before going into retirement, and now she burns even more petrol than she used to burn irresponsibly before retirement.
Previously there were a lot of excuses around needing it for work related stuff, which was complete bullshit of course but now she will burn petrol to go on holidays for 3-4 days with in general at least 1000km roundtrip.

The worst part is that she has the time/flexibility and also money to take the train (there even is a serious reduction card for seniors). But she doesn't. Because she can. Because the car doesn't look expensive enough.

Seriously it's really needed to tax the boomer to death on that front at least, they already own all the valuable real estate we can't let them get away with burning more of our future.
It won't happen because they hold all the political power thanks to their numerical majority (especially among voters).

Cars, like many current problems, are a boomer related/created problem. If you want to fix the wound, you need to extract the thing that created the wound in the first place.

I don't know that it is, I'm speaking based on the implication in this thread that no-enum and no-ABS people are overconfident to a fault.

I do believe that those who claim they don't need enums, static typing, etc are probably overconfident and have a strong desire or need to feel more control.

I'm not sure though, at least for GC'd languages, how enums sacrifice control.

The market doesn't send companies a box of chocolates when they announce they're doing poorly. They stand hawkishly over the still-breathing corpse with their hand on the plug, asking "you're still good to go, right?"

I've chucked a few times over the last few days about the Wikipedia definition of the technological singularity, which opens:

"The technological singularity—or simply the singularity—is a hypothetical future point in time at which technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, resulting in unforeseeable consequences for human civilization."

Obviously one might have expected that to happen on the other side of a superhuman intelligence, not with us just falling over ourselves to control who gets to try and build one.

Yes it is.

So don't call setenv after you load any libraries. If that means you can't call setenv at all for your linking setup then so be it.

On the contrary, aren't factors like Microservices and all the constant prototyping at large companies encompass this?

It's a lot easier to sign a petition than actually walk away from a presumably well-paying job in a somewhat weak tech job market. People assuming everyone can just traipse into a $1m/year role at Microsoft is smoking some really good stuff.
Pretty sure it simply represents the upper bound of communication complexity. Any management of it can improve coordination. The conceptual lower bound is that each additional programmer adds 100% more programming speed.
The problem with all these 'right to repair' advocates is that they assume that it is zero costs and that the manufacturers will eat that cost. No it will have a cost. And that is likely to disproportionally impact the cheapest phones and the poorest households.
It's worth noting that Meta famously created shadow profiles. Not using a site is not sufficient when your data is for sale or sitting in some unsecured manner, waiting to be stolen.
You want to know how many times I’ve encountered titles in real-world RSS feeds being damaged or obliterated due to including characters like < (most commonly from including HTML tag names in a title)? More than a few, because RSS is awful and way too much is based on inconsistent unwritten customs rather than consistent or defined behaviour. You end up with wishy-washy consensus, and clients that don’t want to change what they do because content is written using mutually incompatible conventions, so fixing one will break another. (And probably there aren’t any clients out there subject to injection attacks of this sort any more, but there have been.)

How about Atom? Only once, in a brand new client, and that was promptly fixed when I reported it, because it was clearly and unambiguously a bug, and you were guaranteed there would be no negative side-effects, because the behaviour is actually defined, and consistently implemented.

As for functionality, I certainly see articles from time to time that are courageous enough to use basic inline formatting in their titles (bold, italics, code), and you can’t do this in RSS (there’s a small chance it’ll work—probably a bug; a fair chance the markup will be presented verbatim—probably the most reasonable choice; and a fair chance the markup will be stripped—kinda problematic); but you can in Atom (because the title is a text construct like the content and you can specify the type), and it should then either work properly, or (unfortunately more common) be safely stripped by unimaginative clients.
Several countries already use the dollar like El Salvador, Cambodia, Ecuador, Panama. Cambodia and Panama use local currency in sub $1 amounts only, and El Salvador and Ecuador were exclusively USD until E.S added BTC, but I know from locals there that it's rarely used and USD is still king. Argentina wouldn't be the first but it would be the biggest. My question is what happens when/if a country this big tries to dollarize? Will there be a huge demand affecting USD rates? Would we just ship them container loads of banknotes? Does the US even want this and can US officials just say no?

Bonus question: Why not Euros?

> Many POSIX systems rely on `/etc/localtime` to define the system-wide time zone, and every `localtime` call has to check if the file has been changed or not because there is no way to subscribe to the system-wide time zone change event.

But you can subscribe to file change events so why not do that?
I hadn't seen that, but I was going to recommend this recent paper: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/15291006211051...

At a glance of the medium article, they seem to have the same perspective on these issues, so the one should complement the other.
But Rust doesn't declare it safe to modify the environment in general. It declares it safe to modify the environment using std::env::set_var, which uses locking internally. The docs explicitly note that there's potential unsafety if non-Rust code modifies the environment:

"Note that while concurrent access to environment variables is safe in Rust, some platforms only expose inherently unsafe non-threadsafe APIs for inspecting the environment. As a result, extra care needs to be taken when auditing calls to unsafe external FFI functions to ensure that any external environment accesses are properly synchronized with accesses in Rust."

https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/env/fn.set_var.html

Ultimately the problem here is with Posix. Rust can only do so much to paper over the pitfalls in the underlying platform.

Although note that if you replace libc with eyra, then the behavior goes from thread-unsafe to "just" a memory leak: https://blog.sunfishcode.online/eyra-does-the-impossible/

HN is filled with temporarily-embarrassed billionaires (and actual billionaires) who would very much like to preserve the notion that big corporations can move with impunity and quash any threat to investment returns. Reality is not aligning with that, so they've entered their mental safe pods (with the rose-tinted windshields).
That's because they're the only adult in the room and mature company with mature management. Boring, I know. But sometimes experience actually pays off.
We can't know that - this may have been orchestrated.
Perhaps the AGI correctly reasoned that the best (or easiest?) initial strike on humanity was to distract them with a never-ending story about OpenAI leadership that goes back and forth every day. Who needs nuclear codes when simply turning the lights on and off sends everyone into a frenzy [1]. It certainly at the very least seems to be a fairly effective attack against HN servers.

These boys will not be your rank and file employees. They will operate exactly as they have done in OpenAI. Only difference will be that they no longer have this weird "non-profit, but actually some profit" thing going on.
I'm surprised anyone actually believes that paying will mean that Meta doesn't collect tracking data about you as opposed to flipping a bit in a database somewhere that says "don't show personalized ad content". The latter is simpler and gives Meta a nice profile to use for targeting ads if/when you stop paying.

Almost certainly not. Remember, Microsoft wasn’t the sole investor. Reneging on those credits would be akin to a bank investing in a start-up, requiring they deposit the proceeds with them, and then freezing them out.
> pressure Altman to limit his side-projects

People keep talking about this. That was never going to happen. Look at Sam Altman's career: he's all about startups and building companies. Moreover, I can't imagine he would have agreed to sign any kind of contract with OpenAI that required exclusivity. Know who you're hiring; know why you're hiring them. His "side-projects" could have been hugely beneficial to them over the long term.

I think it depends what is meant by fast take off. If we created AGIs that are superhuman in ML and architecture design you could see a significantly more rapid rate of progress in hardware and software at the same time. It might not be overnight but it could still be fast enough that we wouldn’t have the global political structures in place to effectively manage it.

I do agree that intelligence and compute scaling will have limits, but it seems overly optimistic to assume we’re close to them already.

No, we all fully expect it to be expensive. Manufacturers didn't move away from repairable devices for nothing; it's cheaper to manufacture and design something that doesn't ever get taken apart. It also helps ensure that your customers switch to a new product once their old one breaks.

Considering that I've bought $15 Tracphones with a replaceable battery and SD card slot, I think those poorer households will be okay. It's better than the government buying them garbage that was designed to be obsolete from the start.
In general the approach is pretty heavily dependent on a trustworthy test suite. If you don't have that, you'll have to write a lot of tests which will take more than 40 hours, but... Python is pretty heavily dependent on having a trustworthy test suite.

All of the codebases I migrated were Django codebases.

Basically, I would:

1. Upgrade to the latest 2.x, run the test suite and a bunch of manual tests, and fix any errors/warnings.
2. Upgrade all the dependencies one by one to versions that support version 3, run the test suite and the manual tests, and fix any errors/warnings. This was generally the hardest part, because some projects had imported a lot of bleeding edge nonsense which was abandoned before Python 3 support was implemented, so I had to a) encapsulate the dependency, and then b) rewrite the encapsulated functionality either with my own code, or with a more up-to-date library. This is a predictable result of importing nonsense, and I blame the developers who did that, not the Python team.
3. Upgrade to 3.x, run the test suite of manual tests, and fix any errors/warnings.
