Interesting.

I hope we can clone and make dinosaurs and other extinct creatures again.

It would be fascinating to visit a park where we could see these creatures in as natural of a habitat as we can provide them today.
That is the optimistic scenario. Even possible that productivity and wealth growth increases in some scenario like that.
Your numbers are plain wrong. France, Spain and Germany are at around 43%, worst case scenario.

As someone who pays tax in one of these countries and manages/recruits people across all Europe (as well as Americas and Asia) I can confirm these calculators are very accurate.

Quoting fantasy numbers with an air of authority, without sources and using an aggressive/dismissive tone throughout all your comments strikes me as pretty pathetic but, who knows, it might convince others.

It may not be a search under that case, but plenty of folks disagree with that assessment. It's not like the telcos publish metadata for anyone to read. It is private data, and the fact that government officers think they have carte blanche to get it, and worse, can find judges that agree with them, is disagreeable to a significant portion of the population.

Is it warranted (figuratively, not literally) in this instance? Perhaps. But nonetheless, it re-opens the conversation about the wider implications about warrantless searches.
I don't think you need a mountain for that. A properly guarded surface complex with enclosed corridors between facilities would be far cheaper and enough to protect something from intruders or satellite surveillance. IIRC similar facilities (Cheyenne Complex, Zheleznogorsk MCC, Yamantaw) were built as nuclear strike resistant bunkers first. There are also nuclear waste storage facilities all over the world.
That could be, the author may not have expected nor intended the exposition of an HN post. If so, my apologies. I still find the article unfair and biased in its presentation, compared to the email list discussion. It's unfortunate, because if one look the comments here it's clear many take the article at face value and haven't read the list thread.
LOL.

The original "Limits to Growth" made predictions.

Almost none of them came true.

If you disagree, please quote a prediction from the original "Limits to Growth" and tell me what page it was on.

As Dr. Robert Zubrin says in "Merchants of Despair," a scientists first duty is to see if his hypothesis agrees with the facts.

Any other answer is trolling.
As a newcomer to Emacs in the past couple of months (my second try), I think I agree with you that it's a lot of work.

But for the Emacs fans who've had success, that work pays them back because they can bend the editor to an extremely bespoke workflow.

I'm unsure if it will work out for me long term but I can sort of see the appeal. No other tool even attempts to be what Emacs has become.

So yeah, it's different from every other approach I've tried. But there's a chance it will work for me. Jury's out, though, and I am only now realizing that I'm going to have to put more effort into hacking my workflow than with other things I've used (Kakoune, Neovim, sublime, etc)
Humans will absolutely survive even the most extreme levels of climate change. Netflix, Starbucks and on-demnad hot water might not though
100%. ChatGPT is used heavily in my household (my wife and I both have paid subscriptions) and it’s absolutely worth it. One of the most interesting things for me has actually been watching my wife use it. She’s an academic in the field of education and I’ve seen her come up with so many creative uses of the technology to help with her work. I’m a power user too, but my usage, as a software engineer, is likely more predictable and typical.
How on Earth would it count as European? It's a completely American company. Founded in the US, by Americans, headquartered in the US, funded by American VCs... I genuinely don't get how you arrived at the idea that it's European.
Designing the airplane to minimize required maintenance and to make maintenance and inspections easier and faster is a huge issue for the engineering department. Also make it very difficult for the mechanics to do things wrongly.

As it was pointed out to me, airplanes sitting on the ground are a black hole sucking up money. Airplanes in the air carrying payload (note the "pay" in payload) are making money. Boeing understands this very well, and is very focused on getting that airplane in the air making money as much as possible.

There's this expectation for how much a AAA game should cost, which seems entirely cultural and not based on an accounting of the resources that went into it. Remember when the standard price of a AAA game was raised by $10, and there was a bit of outrage (from some camps), despite the fact that the previous standard price dated from a time when game budgets were less than half of what they are today?

Clearly, many gamers don't consider the amount of work and resources that go into a game being the decisive factor in its price!

With that framing, Romero's pricing makes perfect sense. It doesn't much matter if he's designing levels for a game rather than developing a game, because the resources that go into the game's production are irrelevant to the cost.

What matters more is that he's selling to an audience that doesn't need to be convinced to buy his product. Unlike AAA games, who are targeting the marginal player—that is, the person who isn't necessarily going to buy the game anyway—Romero is selling to true believers (in him, in Doom, in their nostalgia for their childhoods, whatever). The cost is extra irrelevant to that group.
I was wondering this. What is their business model exactly? Almost seems like Europe’s attempt to say “hey, look, we are relevant too”
I use vim and like vim. I think that sentence is not aimed at us, and you have to read the whole paragraph as one.

I use vim keybindings in the JetBrains IDEs I use. And that’s because I came from vim. For me vim is the natural choice. And I use my JetBrain IDEs most of the time because of the added features.

But for people who don’t like vim particularly much but who only use vim because they need “something” for small edits, I can see that it would be attractive to them to have a small VSCode-like editor for quick edits, when they normally use VSCode as their IDE.

That’s the context you need to see it from, I think. For those people, it’d be an advantage to ditch vim, as they never particularly liked vim in the first place.
There are huge economy of scale benefits from providing hosted models.

I've been trying out all sorts of open models, and some of them are really impressive - but for my deployed web apps I'm currently sticking with OpenAI, because the performance and price I get from their API is generally much better than I can get for open models.

If Mistral offered a hosted version which didn't have any spin-up time and was price competitive with OpenAI I would be much more likely to build against their models.
Sounds like you are paraphrasing Carmacks perspective. I am pretty sure all Ids 3D games would have been duds had Carmack been in charge of game and level designs.

Yes, I think that we can do better than plain text as the source of truth, and thus git would probably need to change.

There's work around a bunch of languages that are not based on text, some have their own editor or a tool to manage a canonical representation in text for you that would make them friendlier to git.

Your suggested defence was already debunked in the linked thread. These were melody claims, all firmly in the public domain, most composers having died in the 1800s or earlier (e.g. Crimond, by J. S. Irvine who died in 1887).

I’ve worked with git since 2016. I guess I must not be a power user because beyond using like six got commands I’ve never had any issues or felt like man my workflow is interrupted.

What features do you think need to be improved? From a purely UX pov I think git is probably the best software I’ve used. It just works.
It shouldn't be surprising to anybody that has been paying even a small amount of attention to the results of Snowden releases.

Sure - projectile is one of the packages that convinced me to migrate from vim to emacs. It curates a notion of "project" and maintains a list of projects you visit. My workflow is based around a lot of using projectile-find-file, which prompts you for a known project, then dumps you into an completion interface to open a specific file.

Projectile works OOTB with .git directories, so if you visit a git-controlled dir it's added to your projects. You can similarly specify other directories as projects by putting a .projectile file in them, and the contents of the .projectile file act as an ignore list.

So the workflow is work/myMonolith is the git controlled root, while I have work/myMonolith/frontend/.projectile and work/myMonolith/backend/.projectile. So I can use the project-scoped find file, grep etc. to inherently narrow the search space to that module. When I'd want to globally search, I'd use projectile-find-file (or grep, or whatever) on the myMonolith root.
Ok, big families and several devices per person combined will result in bandwidth needs that seem over the top for any single application. Thanks!
This phenomena is sometimes called the "sophomore slump" [1] in some creative industries and "second-system effect" [2] in software development. To add to your excellent list of reasons why this happens, I'd also add that early success may be the result of spending much more time on the first creative effort than subsequent ones. Some musicians spend years making their first album but then have only a year or two to try to repeat the success for a second album, especially if a label wants them to release another album while they are riding high and before their fame fades (supposedly). Second-system effect refers more specifically to feature creep in second projects in a series, but you can imagine the same thinking applying to creative industries too.

I use “heavy” in this context more to mean in terms of features not the process size. Gitea for example expects users to have accounts. In contrast a gitolite “user” is just a public key associated to a name in a config file.

Honestly if I ever expect for this to be genuinely useful I know I should just use Gitea, but I’m still torn between being practical and having fun.
Our team successfully jailbreak ChatGPT by OpenAI, transforming it into our expert hacking partner. It's still out there in the wild, so feel free to give it a try.
Bye plastic, bye modern goods, bye technology, bye datacentres, bye freedom of transport. People really don't understand what they're wishing for.
At this valuation and given the strength of the team, it’s not hard to imagine a future acquisition yielding a significant ROI.

Besides, we don’t know what future opportunities will unfold for these technologies. Clearly there’s no shortage of smart investors happy to place bets on that uncertainty.
If they’re not that small, just fold up some dimensions until it is.
Evaluation based on what? what is the business model?
Well I don't expect the US to abide by a law that says "we will never sell arms to any nation, or profit off war". Why should the Saudi expected to vote against their own cash cow.
How do you use these models? If you don't mind sharing. I use GPT-4 as an alternative to googling, haven't yet found a reason to switch to something else. I'll for example use it to learn about the history, architecture, cultural context, etc of a place when I'm visiting. I've found it very ergonomic for that.
This is a lithium iron phosphate battery. Safer chemistry than lithium-ion, but heavier. There's a lot be said for lithium iron phosphate. Once we have millions of old, badly maintained electric cars on the road, it's better if they're not using a battery technology prone to fire.

This is mostly a packaging and cooling innovation. Round cells are inefficient from a density standpoint, but the empty space between cylinders allows heat to escape.

BYD's approach to electric cars in China is modest range and lots of charging stations. Average distance driven per day in the US is 60 km. Current BYD vehicles all have a range over 200km.
Same niche as Chevrolet, or what Chevy used to be - a seller of basic transportation.

It's a worry that, in the last few years, US manufacturers have gone way overboard on too much car per car, to the point that most American workers can't afford current vehicles.
>The RET for confirmation was a side-effect, one which the author felt could actually have some value in itself.

Regardless of the reasons for the change, a single author was permitted to commit a change that broke the workflows of potentially thousands of users. And there was no way users could work around it to maintain their previous workflows. That sounds arrogant and annoying.
What does it mean to use grep "for security"?
Hey morgante, nice to meet you again! Indeed YAML is a compromise between expressiveness and easy-learning. Grit did a great job for providing advanced code manipulation!

Right, but!

That's what the conversation would be about, without a long discussion and a lot of context. That's why we don't have the conversation: it's too hard, and people would just say "stop listening to my phone calls, you government perverts". And because we don't have that conversation, it's a surprise when things like this come up.
I think it’s notably strange that most Apple product lines have a few obviously different form factors which have largely not changed in the past twelve or so years, except the “phone” which has grown into what used to be a tablet form factor. I think it’s exceptionally strange that there is such a strong reaction when people like me, who think the iphone 4 was the right size, comment thusly and it’s always a comment letting Apple off the hook because they “tried” and didn’t make enough money. And I think it’s absolutely mind boggling that I am asking for an iphone Air, and comments here and elsewhere point to the mini as if branding and marketing are some abstract concept that only applies when apple goes out and creates a new market. An iphone mini is not the same as an iphone air. And I stand by my op comment that this comes down to inept product people making bad product choices and the resultant marketing. I understand there is a huge market for an iphone max but I’m confused as to how everyone has agreed that the minority who want a phone sized phone aren’t relevant.

Maybe it’s not absurd to suggest that a bunch of powerful men are making decisions that do not account for women, whose hands are generally smaller, in tech. And I sure do hope that a new head of product for iphone will have some fucking vision.
In my case, at the very least, I had a fair amount of support.

First of all, I explicitly signed up to teach. At my university, fewer than ten undergraduates per semester teach a class, and typically it's for students who want to hang out and teach something they like. In order to teach, they have to take an introductory class on pedagogy first, which mostly covers assignment and syllabus design.

The student-taught-course program at my university exists far more for the (undergraduate) instructors' benefit than to teach students; its job is to give students a chance to experiment with teaching early on.

I’ve literally never seen a codebase with 100% branch coverage from integration tests. There’s always some risk of handing a corner case badly with invalid writes.

Of course, the reason Mistral AI got a lot of press and publicity in the first place was because they open-sourced Mistral-7B despite the not-making-money-in-the-short-term aspect of it.

It's better for the AI ecosystem as a whole to incentive AI startups to make a business through good and open software instead of building moats and lock-in ecosystems.
Mostly because of the way it reflects badly on climate change deniers.

Climate change is going to suck, but I focus on the fact that we've been fighting against really horrifically bad reasoning skills. Climate change is really basic chemistry; if we can't get people to agree on that how are we ever going to solve problems with any actual complexity?

Climate change denial is associated with a ton of other ideological issues that cause a lot of people a lot of harm, today, in first world countries. Not all of them are as scientifically definitive, but they share a pattern of people expressing opinion as fact.

I feel like painful mitigation efforts are too grand to even think about. A lot of issues come down to leaving people alone to make their own decisions, with no effect on anyone else, and we can't even have that.

So for me the mitigations are less about dealing with climate change and more about hoping climate change deniers realize just how reprehensibly they've handled this entire thing. But I'm not optimistic about that.
I’ve use lm studio. It’s not reached peak user friendliness, but it’s a nice enough GUI. You’ll need to fiddle with resource allocation settings and select an optimally quantized model for best performance. But you can do all that in the UI.
Anti-virus software is utterly worthless in detecting previously-unknown rootkits. Not a factor.

The typical attack vector for any system would be compromising the inbound software. This is really easy to do when people are downloading and installing random programs from websites. This used to be less common, but popular cutting edge tools have popularized it recently "distro packaging is too slow, etc, curl|bash to install"

On linux, most base software comes from the distro repositories. The question there is how hard it would be to compromise these systems (including one of the mirrors). This includes ancillary packaging systems (pip, cpan, gems, conda, etc)

Gamepass brings in $2B> a year in revenue… that ain’t happening… and not for nothing in the same month this article was released Gamepass hit $230M a month in revenue.

Microsoft disclosed that it costs about 1B per year to keep Gamepass running tho much of it is likely only accounting as they probably overinflate the value of their own published titles for tax purposes.

This is literarily a no brainer and a “free” $1B a year for them in profit.
How do these small models compare to gpt4 for coding and technical questions?

I noticed that gpt3.5 is practically useless to me (either wrong or too generic), while gpt4 provides a decent answer 80% of the time.
This comment is not ment to be negative, just some insight that might be valuable.

I read the free chapter. One thing I noticed right away was that I think some things can be hard for people with not so much knowledge about the topic: under each headline, it explains a concept from the ground up, no knowledge required. Like "the syntax of a language is...". But just a few sentences in, advanced topics are touched, like assembly instructions, not explained. It feels a bit like "the curse of knowledge", where it's hard to know what the other party knows. But if the reader needs to learn what syntax means, they will probably not understand the next sentences.

So, I think more consistency could improve the product.

This is of course just my meaning and interpretation of the text, it might not be relevant. But maybe something to have in mind for your next masterpiece :)
