> The best example of this was The Hobbit when presented at the original, director's intention 48FPS. People were so conditioned to movies being a blurring mess at 24FPS that a frequent complaint about the Hobbit was that it had the purported "soap opera effect".

The reason I didn't like the Hobbit was because they went overboard on CGI. They had to make Orlando Bloom (Legolas) appear younger than he was in the Lord of the Rings which was released a decade before.

The higher your IQ the more likely you have the capabilities to remove yourself from bad circumstances. I'd wager it's very unlikely that if you reach adulthood and you're still working a minimum wage job, barring significant mental health issues or life circumstances, you secretly have a top 1% potential genius IQ.

If you look at some of the greatest figures of the 20th century, many of them pulled themselves from complete squalor and destitution on their talent/brains alone. So even back then there were means via which disadvantaged smart people could assert agency over their circumstances.

The poorest person with an internet access nowadays is far more empowered to take advantage of their prodigious intellect than anyone 30+ years ago.
Kind of weird that you associate motion blur with realism.
FAANG has a high floor that many startups I've worked at don't have. Much less morons at FAANG than other places I've worked.

Sure. But in this story the school fell back to the "old-fashioned" way and sent someone along to the guy's house. It seems clear that the guy got along just fine without being reachable via telephone.
That's the art & science of it... you need to social engineer the info out of them. Most of the time, even if you do get a caller ID, it's spoofed, so it doesn't matter what "number" they call you from. You need to identify a business with an address and phone number, and definitively tie the activity back to that business.

Yes, it takes time and skill, but then again, between the TCPA and state statutes you could potentially recover close to $6000 per call. Now when you negotiate a settlement you may not actually see that much, but you are definitely getting the attention of the offenders, and just the process of responding to your complaint (lawyer time) will take another few thousand dollars out of the pockets of these cretin.

> Literally can’t build an F-1 engine.

We can. There has been lots of work done on that already. But you wouldn't want to do an engine like it was done back then anyway. It would be crazy to do it the same way. A modern version would be better, better controls, lighter and so on.

> However, the benefit is that we would then have plans (diagrams, specs, etc) to build it and one built we can iterate.

Those would be more like constraints. So many things that are not the same anymore. You would literally reconstruct the economy from the 1960s first. That would be totally insane thing to do.

Its not because of 'lost knowlage' its because first of all, it just doesn't make any sense to do it the same way even if you could. Both the tools and the people are totally different, the structure of the economy is different.

This is very helpful. But I find it cumbersome to mix "misconceptions" with "clarifications".

To elaborate, stating "Foo is bar" as a misconception to be clarified, and then following it up with "Baz is quux", makes it very hard to follow and clearly identify what bits of information should be ingrained. In my opinion, information should only be conveyed "in the affirmative".

For example, don't write "Foo is bar is not true", write "Foo is NOT bar". Or have some consistent and unmistakable typography for the "false statements" (highlighting or color, etc)
Perhaps you mean a third factor causes both cognitive decline and high blood pressure? There is no world in which losing cognitive capacity directly increases blood pressure.

Further, it could be a third factor causes both, but also that high blood pressure independently worsens the issue. The body keeps blood pressure in a certain range for a reason.
Great work! I’d love to see a server-side tempting engine written in HTML, the programming language that can be used to send HTML, the markup language files to clients.
Important essay and points. I want to mention that there exist now practical technical approaches that can be used to create trustworthy AI...and such approaches can be run on local models, as this comment suggests.

> "[...] [AI] will act trustworthy, but it will not be trustworthy. We won’t know how they are trained. We won’t know their secret instructions. We won’t know their biases, either accidental or deliberate. [...]"

I agree that this is true with standard deployments of the generative AI models, but we can instead reframe networks as a direct connection between the observed/known data and new predictions, and to tightly constrain predictions against the known labels. In this way, we can have controllable oversight of biases, out-of-distribution errors, and more broadly, a clear relation to the task-specific training data.

That is to say, I believe the concerns in the essay are valid in that they reflect one possible path in the current fork in the road, but it is not inevitable, given the potential of reliable, on-device, personal AI.
I don't think CNN's reporting (such as it is) has materially changed. It was nearly half opinion-based shows from the day it launched. The only thing it excelled at was live or realtime reporting, since it was the first dedicated 24-hours news cycle. Even back in the 80s it focused on emotion porn (save baby Jessica!) as much as actual news. It's probable that your analysis has changed more than your content has.

Other tips for understanding Rust lifetime issues:

- Enable rust-analyzer inlay hints for elided lifetimes, reborrows, etc

- Enable the `elided_lifetimes_in_paths` lint

Together, these should ensure that all lifetimes in your code are clearly visible on the screen.
Money is just a token based game and Elon operates above it. I wasn't being charitable but simply stating the obvious. In a multi-planetary civilization, which is his stated goal, every one of his companies is a necessary piece of the puzzle. People need to move around, materials need to be refined and transported, and there needs to be a communication network that can potentially make autonomous decisions (AI).

I have no reason to believe he doesn't know what he's doing because everything he has done up to now indicates he understands the mechanics of what it means to build a multi-planetary civilization.

That’s very true and I did make that comment mostly in jest. I think the idea of art generated like that has a distinctly dystopian feel. I think one thing that might push this idea closer to reality is dedicated hardware. It would also allow you to do things like enjoy movies with your favorite actors. “Netflix, show me Dune but with Dustin Hoffman as Paul”.

I happen to agree. Many "new features" aren't necessarily needed by a large segment of the community that uses K8s.

Some of the attitudes in here about software needs to be constantly evolving is just odd. Many many systems run on legacy software and hardware because, for the most part, they just work.

Innovation and evolution are important, yes. But churn for the sake of churn does not fit every (most) use case...

The problem is that you're trying to come up with a reason for the text to be bold. The reason the text is bold is simply because the writer wanted bold text. Bold is the tool and the tool that the writer chose was bold, specifically.

Trying to come up with an universal reason for why bold is bold is like trying to come up with an universal formula to explain why any number 42 is 42. You wouldn't say every 42 came from 40 + 2 just because 40 + 2 equals 42, because some 42's come from 44 - 2 and others come from 6 times 7. Similarly, there is no universal reason for bold to be bold except for the fact that it is bold and that is it.

You say bold is used for highlighting. What would you say italic is used for then? And underline? All caps? Small caps? Title case? Colored text? A yellow background on the text? There are countless ways to highlight text.

Do you have the courage to style <strong> as ANYTHING but bold or <em> as anything but italic? (oblique doesn't count!)

No, you do not.

Because in your heart you know. The writer CHOSE bold. He CHOSE italic.

He had all these "highlight" tools in front of him, like a palette of colors, and he specifically and unambiguously picked bold. You can't ever change the meaning of bold to anything but bold, regardless of whether you use <b> as bold or <strong> as bold, because bold is an inseparable part of the content now.

If you changed <strong> to a non-bold red color text, it would change the typographic semantics of everything ever written with <strong>.

So in my view, it's not something abstract like highlight, it's literally bold, in its pure concrete form, because the author had a healthy vision, he spoke a Latin language, and he wanted his text to have bold letters.

I mean, just look at Wordpress and WYSIWYG editors. Nobody in sane mind would write "emphasis" and "important" text unstyled and put those buttons in the editor, because no author would EVER click on them. No author WANTS to mark emphasis or important text. Authors click the B button and the I button because they want bold and italic.

Can you imagine someone looking up Markdown's or restructured text's to find out how to mark "emphasis"? Nobody is writing text or *text* or _text_ or __text__ because they want emphasis. They're looking up which one of these characters generates BOLD text.

What the author means is BOLD. Means. As in meaning, semantics. It makes no sense to second guess what they really mean and change those semantics to emphasis/importance just because you think those are human-language/medium-agnostic and thus more portable. When you change <b> to <strong> what you're doing has a name: semantic bleaching, which happens when a word that had concrete meaning loses its meaning when it starts functioning in a more abstract (grammatical) way. Feels like the opposite of what anyone would want!

Fair enough, I did not have checksums to compare. And I only randomly sampled the contents, not every single file. But yes, it booted and every program I tried executed normally and every data file I inspected seemed valid.

I do have some familiarity with how such old systems would misbehave with corrupt data, such as from bad data cables. I didn't see any of those kinds of symptoms and so do not think there was any significant storage decay from being on the shelf at least 5x longer than the 5 year interval mentioned up thread. I tend to think that such a failing drive must have had some other kind of damage and not just some kind of spontaneous demagnetization
This is a thing (this is the whole thing about treble damages). Despite what people say on HN, "Fines are a cost of doing business" is more a statement of fact (running a business, you sometimes fuck up and pay for it), rather than a statement of intent (do things that get fined but make money off of it). For most people anyways.

If you run scam X and earn Y from that scam, then get caught doing X, it is extremely unlikely that you are walking away with a fine less than Y. The problem is of course maybe the feds only notice Y/2 or Y/10. There's some hand wringing about scam X earning you Y directly but helping to support scam Z in the future that you will do better (or legitimate businesses A,B,C that earn you Y * 1000). But there's a base principle, and "let's just fine off of overall revenue" things leading to "some case officer in Omaha lied on forms, so we will fine this bank $2 billion" is kinda silly[0].

But generally speaking illegal activity where you get caught is going to end badly for you. And illegal activity you get away with will end better for you, but that's true independent of the fee structure.

[0] the case officer might be part of a larger pattern. This is what discovery and investigations are for! Do enough work and you can prove that the earnings from the illegal activity is higher!

This is a very American thing. Here in New Zealand, you just refer to the year you're in. No one says "freshman" (whatever that means), or "senior". It's just "I'm in year x". Same at university - I don't know what all the names you give your years refer to exactly, and doesn't it get confusing between 3, 4 and 5 year programmes of study?

Ask HN: What would the state of AI be if OpenAI never existed?
I feel like every big push in generative AI over the last 3 years has just been copying OpenAI. Google obviously had Transformers first and has done its own stuff, but until GPT-3 no one else ever considered them seriously, and likewise until Dalle no one considered image generation a valuable route to take.

Would we be in an AI winter without their leadership, or did they just give the industry a "push" that would have happened a few years later otherwise?

For systems where you can check a given proof in polynomial time, this problem becomes 'merely' NP-complete. (Technically, the maximum size of the proof you are willing to accept needs to be a polynomial in the length of the statement you are trying to prove.)

I built a system that I designed to be a file system replacement. It can efficiently manage the metadata for hundreds of millions of files without a separate indexing system that can become out of sync with the actual data. You can attach dozens of metadata tags to each file and query for every file that has a certain tag or other attribute (size, type, datetime stamp, etc). It works a lot like a database in that results are returned almost instantly.
That has to be one of the least applicable analogies.
