While in the long term we do have to achieve net 100%, the mid-term goal which is absolutely achievable with the current state of the marked is indeed 90%. While working towards that we can start to see which technology emerges to cover the last 10%. And probably there isn't a miracle technology needed, just plain improvements in the storage sector and a good mix of several approaches.
Well first of all, C++ is the language you'd be using to power a rocket engine. And second, that code is a terrible example because most of it isn't C++. Large parts of that are very C like or directly C because it's using the Windows API.
This still requires reading through it all in memory at run time. Maybe we can optimize it with a JIT -what if the package called the ChatGPT api to get the the python code that generates the machine code just for the number queried?
I am sure it could easily rephrase the articles to tell them without quoting any real or verifiable sources. Many human news companies often do it too.

Yes, we need a mix of technologies. But at the current state of things, nuclear shouldn't be something to invest into. Yes, existing reactors should be used for their full life time, but there is far too much speaking against building new ones.
There are labs you can just order stuff from. I.e. I gave myself full bloodwork done at Synlab as a present for my 35 birthday, and they had covid antibody-levels test available as well.

Ask HN: How are you practically applying AI in your personal life everyday?
Hi HN community,

With the rapid advancement and accessibility of artificial intelligence, I'm curious to learn about the unique and innovative ways individuals are integrating AI into their daily lives. Whether it's optimizing personal workflows, enhancing learning, managing smart home devices, or even delving into creative projects, the applications seem limitless.

Many of us hear about AI in grandiose terms – large-scale automation, complex data analysis, etc. However, I'm more interested in the practical, everyday applications that might not make headlines (beyond some of the AI hype).
For the cars, I think it depends, possibly even on your luck. My car is old enough to vote, and aside from one simple repair I could do in 15 minutes in my parents' garage with a part that was sold by the dealership for 60 €, it only ever needed changes of consumables. Hell, even the scheduled maintenance at the stealership costs a song, cheaper than my motorcycle.

My dad's cars from the same era didn't fare so well and all required heavier repairs; none still work.

Also, since we're talking anecdotes, my parents have thrown out all their CRT TVs and monitors because they've all failed in some way (I've personally never had any). And I'm typing this on a Dell LCD monitor from 2015 or so that still kicks ass and has great picture, even by today's standards. My 2013 MBP still has a working, good-looking screen, and it's been on the road a lot.

> Forget that, is there anything you've bought new in the last _ten_ years that you still have?

Yup, almost everything [0] still works like new, even my 2013 MBP which I've carted around a lot. It's not powerful enough anymore, so I have a new daily driver, but it still works. Hell, my gaming PC was bought circa 2013, and only had a new GPU 3 years ago (was bought for server work initially, so only had the cheapest GPU I could find). Still rocking the original SSDs, PSU, everything. Ditto for my wireless headphones I bought around 2018. The battery life is still good, the sound hasn't changed.

I've mostly lived in rental apartments, so I don't have any anecdotes about household appliances.

So not really sure what can be concluded from our anecdotes.

This is it. OOP is about building sub programs with their own state and behaviours, yet implementing a common interface so they can still effectively communicate to each other.

If you boil it down to the essence, this means branching logic is encoded via a function pointer. Instead of manually switching to the correct behavior using other branching mechanisms like if or switch.

This is what polymorphism is about. It's pattern matching.

An interface is like an Enum to which you can add entries after it has been defined, and the behaviour for that specific variant naturally then has to be encoded inside the variant itself.
It had everything to do with Ahsoka's pacing problem.

The ideological pandering problem - which literally everyone from Iger to South Park knows Disney have - is just a symptom of the relentless ideological capture of Disney's own executive staff. You think they just promote diversity hiring in their film's messages? Iger has spelled it out clearly here: when they faced a binary choice between "messaging" and making quality movies, they always picked messaging.

What he's saying here is obvious to people who have observed the woke in action. People who would relentlessly pander to left wing ideology were hired and promoted over people who wanted to make good movies that appealed to everyone. You can't have both - the people with talent usually don't want to put forced propaganda before the story they want to tell. The problem is doubled up because when woke people find conservatives they immediately fire them, sideline them or make false accusations against them. Pick the propaganda people and you rapidly end up with anyone who cares about quality first being emptied out of the organization.

Kathleen Kennedy is the most famous example of this, a woman who presided over a decade+ of box office disaster and divisive, hateful anti-men messaging (e.g. her famous "The Force Is Female" t-shirts), but who Disney cannot remove because she and her allies would immediately accuse the CEO of being sexist, and they'd rather crash the company than be accused of being mean by allies. She in turn ensures Star Wars scripts are all messaging-first, and if they suck as films then whatever, she doesn't actually intend them to entertain anyway because she has a higher purpose in mind.

>and my competitors to be able to re-purpose it to try and drive me out of business..... When most people release open source software they want nothing in return and are owed nothing. That's how I feel about it.

That was not what Open Source was about on HN. Since that would exclude GPL, and APGL. And there were even hint of movement that BSD and MIT would not be considered as Open Source. And any license that does not form and benefits the communities does not fit into the definition of Open Source.

Somewhat fortunately, that seems to have die down a bit. And judging by upvote on your post I guess there are still the silent majority that agrees with you.
How to Build Buy Now Pay Later App Like Klarna?
To me it feels Disney is just running algorithms to generate content. Some VP up in the ivory tower keeps telling the writers "add that joke that worked on the X movie", "make an action scene like that one in Y movie".

Even the stories in Star Wars are rehashes of previous stories with different characters, the whole new trilogy of movies was just episodes IV, V, VI with a different cast and hollow characters.

On MCU it seems that each movie is just the same formula, I haven't even watched "Endgame" because I got sick of the formula after the 4th repetition.

Disney is just pumping content out, quality be damned, I have no idea who thought that completely oversaturating a cash cow market would be good... They killed it, and in its wake tarnished the reputation of Disney. I used to consider anything coming out of Disney to be at least of decent quality, entertaining enough to check out. Now I simply ignore what they do, it's trash.

If you claim the safety requirements were overzealous, do you have any data to substantiate your claim?
Considering the potential damage, nuclear is right up there with aviation, medical and life science when it comes to safety standards. Because each and every incident can be traced back to ignoring whatever safety standards and practices where applicable at the time these accidents happened.

Someone would have to pay for those 1000 NPPs, and in the current market conditions no one is willing to, because the ROI isn't there. Even you said so, there is no NPP standard in place to begin with, so before those 1000 plants are ordered, this standard design has to defined, agreed upon and developed first. And that takes how long in your opinion?
If NYT was a HN startup the link to the archived version would be banned and dang would be slamming the ban hammer.
You can have e.g. Python (lists and bignums) implementation that would acquire more and more storage as needed: first from the RAM, then from disk, then doing fancy cloud Memory-as-a-Service requests, then commissioning building more datacenters, then branching out to the other planets etc. until it runs into the finiteness of the universe, all the while providing the abstraction of lists and numbers that can grow without hard limit (although with growing access latency). The practical limit is determined entirely by the things extraneous to the computation model itself.

On the other hand, if you have e.g. C, then your program is in principle can not have an array with indices larger than SIZE_MAX, period — which is guaranteed to be a finite number. This limit is built into the C abstract machine. Trying to weasel out of it by using FILE I/O is hindered by the fact that ftell() has to return accurate results that must fit into long (now, if ftell() were unavailable, or were allowed to fail for large enough offsets, then fseek()/read()/write() could actually be used in an obvious way for simulating a tape without a hard limit on its size). So this computation model, while practically Turing-complete, is not theoretically Turing-complete.

So, my original point was that built-in support for arrays, while providing ergonomics and performance, does not really extend the computational capabilities of the language: the languages with finite-sized integers but without arrays can simulate finite-sized arrays just like so. And if your integers are unbounded then you can use e.g. Gödel numbering to simulate unbounded arrays (again, with loss in ergonomics and performance).
What they mean is there's evidence in the captured binaries and from other victims that this campaign has been running for at least four years, not that they were compromised for four years. It actually sounds like they detected their own compromise immediately.

Theorg.com is creating employers profile without their consent
I found my profile with a CV description that has been generated by AI, not typed by me. I've never give any consent to create a profile on this website, never access to the website and didn't know it's existence before.

This is a violation of my privacy, since data has been taken from my LinkedIn profile without my consent. Now I'm not sure if LinkedIn is aware of how this company exploit their public pages but it should take actions.

I suggest you to search for your profile and send an immediate data cancellation email.
Outside of the US it's pretty common for shows to end after, comparatively, very few episodes. Especially places like the UK.

Though, lightly-scripted comedy and current affairs shows tend to go on much longer and it's quite surprising when they're cancelled.

In general, if you perform copyrighted works you are doing copyright infringement. There are certain exceptions (personal use, education, very small fragments with proper attribution, maybe a few others) but whether you are reading it aloud from a book or performing it from memory makes no difference.

So, if you setup a service like ChatGPT but powered by humans responding real time to queries, and these humans would occasionally reproduce large chunks of NYT articles, they and the service itself would be liable for copyright infringement. Even if they were all reproducing these from memory.

Now, this is somewhat different from the discussion of whether training the model on the copyrighted data, even if it had effective protections from returning copies of it, constitutes copyright infringement in itself. I believe this is a somewhat novel legal question and I can think of no direct corollaries.

I certainly don't think we can just handwave and say "at some level, when a human reads a copyrighted work, they are doing the same thing", because we really don't know if that is true. Artifical neural networks certainly have no direct similarity with the neural networks in the brain as far as we can tell. And, even if they did, there is no reason to give a machine the same rights that a human has - certainly not until that machine can prove sentience.
And also Smalltalk, I believe. It appeared ~15 years earlier than Erlang. The idea of holding encapsulated state and receiving messages is its core concept, AFAIK.
Of course people want to close coal power stations too. One might argue about the relative timing, but the goal is to get rid of nuclear and coal.
And while a safely operating nuclear plant is actually pretty low on radiation, we unfortunately had severe incidents which released a lot of radiation. Here in Bavaria, the forests are still contaminated by the Chernobyl disaster. Wild boar meat still has to be checked for radiation and a lot of it destroyed as not fit for consumption. Never mind the meat which probably gets eaten unchecked.
I think you have the wrong idea of what dependency confusion is. Here's the scenario:

1. Company develops package `company_secret_project_stuff` and publishes version 1 on their internal private PyPI instance.

2. They tell their employees to install it via `python3 -m pip install --extra-index-url https://pypi.intranet.company.com company_secret_project_stuff`

3. pip dutifully goes and installs the hacker's version of `company_secret_project_stuff` (version 999999) from the global PyPI index.

I know for a fact that my company is vulnerable to this. The only solution currently is for the company to also register `company_secret_project_stuff` on the global PyPI. But you can guess how happy they were about exposing internal package names. They opted to remain vulnerable instead (yes; stupid decision but I can kind of see their point).

Namespaces trivially fix this. You just register the `@company` namespace on the global PyPI index and then make sure all your private packages are in that namespace. Attackers can't publish packages with the same name as yours, and you don't need to make them all public.
I don’t disagree.

I am attempting to say a person shouldn’t be able to record someone else’s performance and distribute it for profit or post it on a streaming service and profit from the ads.
And total caoacity of zhose pales in comparison to wind, solar coal being built at the same time. Funny, the numbers are all there, all you have to do is comparing them to realize nuclear is far from growing.

My flatscreen TV and the sound bar that came with it. My daily-driver computer. My Samsung Galaxy S3 which I still use daily for some tasks, works fine. My washing machine. My Kenwood stand mixer.

All around 10 years, all working fine still without repairs.

That's just the things I could think of on the spot. There's very few things I've had to replace that were broken. Most things I've replaced because I wanted newer features, and have sold or given away the old item.

I'll concede that my previous lawn mower falls in your category. It had a plastic bushing on the main shaft, which got torn up over time, and destroyed some other parts when it held a retirement party.
