Because it's easier to appear intelligent when you criticize.

Criticism signals that you've found something wrong with the system (which implies secret knowledge, which makes you important and insightful).

Cynicism gives the appearance of the next level up, like the exasperated person who grew tired of yelling "Wake up, sheeple!" and now simply looks for grim solace in other intelligent people who can understand his cryptic signals (which identifies them as fellow intelligent people).

It's incredibly easy to fake this, and it makes you look intelligent, so people will keep doing it because humans are evolved to seek public validation and importance (because historically, importance grants a higher opportunity to monopolize more of society's resources, giving you a survival edge to pass on your genes).

TLDR: It has everything to do with social signaling and the appearance of social importance.
Wittgenstein is the perfect lens through which to be skeptical about LLMs and AGI and I think you may be the one not fully engaging with his work. He saw that languages are inseparable from the context in which they are used and that context is much bigger than language itself. Part of learning those language games is experimenting in the real world - interacting with other people, playing language games, and seeing how they react is how we build up our internal dictionaries and innate knowledge. The fidelity of text is simply too low to communicate the amount of information humans use to build up general intelligence.

Without the ability to interact with the physical world, LLMs will never be able to reach AGI. It can kind of simulate it to some extent, but it'll never get there

LLMs can't even form their own memories, the context has to be explicitly fed back to them.
Grabbing my spot in history, same here.
Thank you for providing that, didn't knew about that amended version. This only includes individual developers though and if you are employed this is already a problem again: (10a) "[...]Similarly, where the main contributors to free
and open-source projects are developers employed by commercial entities and when
such developers or the employer can exercise control as to which modifications are
accepted in the code base, the project should generally be considered to be of a
commercial nature." A small step in the right direction, but not quite there yet. Companies that want to just release (old) projects would also be more hesitant now. Recurring donations from companies would also contaminate the project.
> If I was a betting man, I would put money down that Vogtle 4 is the last nuclear reactor that gets built in the US. Solar and batteries are just too cheap for nuclear to compete.

On the contrary, solar and wind are _waaaaaay_ too expensive if you actually want your generation to be reliable. Just ask Texas.
I read it as it was going on for 4 years and they did 12 months of investigation leaving an unknown amount of time it went undetected.
Literally no "rare earth minerals" are used in production of solar or batteries. Exactly zero.
> you can get uranium out of seawater for the same price as mining it

> Why do people bother mining it?

> Because mining it is relatively cheap.

Something does not add up here.
(1)Lack of control for one. (2) Planned obsolescence when the service stops working. (3) bricking after unneeded updates. (…)I could go on why cloud service enabled products are on my “avoid as much as you can” list. For backups and things for which it makes sense it’s a different story but there too one has to pay attention who the cloud provider is and what they do with your bits.
I also have the Dreame Z10 Pro. Valetudo and https://dontvacuum.me/ are wonderful resources! I can't speak highly enough of them. Really appreciate all the hard work that went into making rooting robot vacuums with privacy-preserving firmware possible.
I would be stunned if it took 47 days.
I was thinking the same thing, at first I assumed they were all elevators, then I realised they are not quite vertical, just at a very steep angle (speaking of which: what's the steepest angle that is practical for an escalator?). And of course, a station that is served only by elevators is not realistic, it would be a nightmare during peak hours :-D
I don't totally follow this argument. the 30% app store commission, iCloud subscription, etc. does not only fund security fixes for the OS and core services. I don't think the average consumer thinks that's what they're paying for either. waiving the fee for EOL'd devices would create a perverse incentive of its own.

I do wish apple would follow google's example and commit to a service lifetime upfront, but other than that, I don't object to their model. in practice, it vastly exceeds the level of support for any android phone other than the pixel 8, and we have yet to see whether google actually follows through on that.
Presumably, as a regular commuter, you’d never use the entire station (instead sticking to one or two entrances, lines and platforms).
Can also support this the only thing better than a super automatic coffee machine is a better super automatic coffee machine or an aeropress
Also doesn’t he already own a solar company? Tesla is already a battery company. They do sell industrial cells. But I hear they have a bad track record of not delivering to spec.
A nuke operated at 50% of capacity costs the same as one operating at 100%. Thus, power from it at 50% costs twice as much per kWh. But nukes are already not competitive even at 100%, and get less so with each passing day.
the us may not be very relevant here

what are you going to construct the new baseload from? nothing comes close to the cheapness of pv and wind. grid-scale energy storage, in the form of batteries, is already too cheap for coal and nuclear to compete with it on that basis, and it's just going to get cheaper as we climb down the learning curve
It may not be recent, but I can give the example of Alexander Fleming, discoverer of penicillin. He did not patent his discovery saying that "nature invented penicillin, I merely discovered it." He wanted it to be as widely available and affordable to everyone who needed it. (Similar for Jonas Salk and the polio vaccine). Fleming discovered penicillin in a government funded academic environment and was not incentivized by money. Maybe that was just more common back during that era (also given the Salk example). Maybe we're at a later stage of capitalism where it's less likely to happen.
A statistical analysis is the definitive answer to the skeptic's question "Prove that docs deserve more respect." And to be able to answer that question you have to observe what happens to business outcomes with and without docs then perform a statistical test to see what the difference is, judged against its cost. It's thankless work, I imagine.

Lobbying like you've done with this essay is a probably a better investment of your time. Now you simply have to make sure the right people read it and decide to do it :)
No, it's a Skoda. I mostly just use the navigation which is very usable, plus with a subscription you also get live traffic. There's a few things which annoy me about the infotainment but that's inherent to the whole system (like annoying popups on boot), so CarPlay doesn't fix that.

I had sleep paralysis during my first year of university. I used my new found freedom and independence to stay up all night, drink tons of energy drinks and eat extremely badly.

The first time I got sleep paralysis I remember seeing a faceless man standing over my bed and just feeling terrified.

Googled it that day and have slept on my side ever since. I’ve had the occasional waking up unable to move since then, but nothing near as bad as that first night.
Its one of the major arguments against backdooring systems even if you think this to be acceptable.
In the end you create a backdoor for everyone, even if you dont do it as moronic as here. You are the hostile actor.
I've noticed how some of the kinds of dog whistles and tropes in Reddit have been increasingly entering HN.

I think it's useful for us all to remember that this is the internet, and subreddits are getting manipulated to an insane degree.
Yep! They even had large barricades in front of schools to prevent vehicles/vehicle bomb attacks, as well as barbed wire around the schools, and officers on shifts with what appeared to be MP5s...

Anyway, somewhat more related, I recently learned about the Church of Scientology's Operation Snow White with over 5,000 covert agents in various branches of the US government. That's just a religious group! Imagine what other governments are trying to do, and the potential scale of covert actions we take.
> when companies think there is money to be made.

Meaning "always when there's business to make"? Because when there's no money to make it's not business (and not about capitalism) anymore.
My point is that blaming "messaging" is pandering to a certain audience, and has nothing to do with the actual problems. Messaging, for example, didn't have anything to do with the pacing for Ahsoka. It didn't turn the Star Wars sequels into a train wreck.

Iger is trying to score cheap points while deflecting responsibility for the actual problems.

T3 hormone binds to thyroid hormone receptors in the cell's nucleus, which regulates gene expression. These TH receptors are present all over the place; thyroid hormone has wide ranging effects on the body.
What is the source of the energy for this 'forbidden' light? Is it from the rotational energy of the black hole?
Easy: offer a discount if purchase is made on an unsupported device, just like how grocery stores offer discounts for food that's about to expire.

I don't think there is a real concern about app store economics collapsing, the app marketplace business is very lucrative. We can see this in related cases: you can avoid certain iOS taxes by purchasing your subscriptions on the web: Twitter Blue is $11 on iOS and $8 on the web. Spotify used to be $12.99 for iOS sign-ups and $9.99 on the web.

Why should users pay full bundled iOS tax that supports security updates, if they are getting none?

History is always bunk if you lived it.
I noticed that Steak-n-shake went serverless (lol). I wish more restaurants would do this. I abhor begging for refills and tipping for the pleasure of it. It's strange to see so many bottom-tier restaurants have wait-staff and have not already switched over to digital kiosks.
Also many non-profits are big enough that you should absolutely apply rules to them. Think of Mozilla... It has very big and expensive products. And somehow just because they are non-profit and open source they should get away with murder...
Now that we have genAI...
Stance on the golf club memberships winding down? Alcohol at socials and blue Jean Fridays would be interesting.
Obviously it wouldn’t work for a project as large as Debian, but I wonder if there is some exclusion clause that can be inserted that forbids all users that would be covered under the Cyber Resilience Act from using the software?
actually yeah sorry it was in a Reddit post. I usually do click on Reddit links, or add "reddit" into my query, as it makes Google much more useful.
If someone who made the changes can't explain things clearly, I'd even wager that they didn't understand what they're changing properly. A good commit message is needed as the author might be gone but software is maintained for decades. Productivity is easy, writing a good message isn't, as the latter seems to be hard for many and it's telling of their understanding of systems they change.
The definition of an alphabet is that it includes vowels. Sans vowels it's an abjad - named for the first four letters of the Arabic abjad, alif, bā', jīm, dāl, just like 'alphabet' is named for the first two letters of the Greek one. Arabic and Hebrew are modern abjads. There is also another form, an abugida, where each character typically represents a paired consonent and vowel sounds; Devanagari, which I believe is used to write Hindi, is an abudiga. And of course there are yet more forms.
I pay for four different streaming services. If it's not on one of those, I'm going to pirate it. Also, since I live outside the US various services won't even let me give them money if I wanted to. I assume they are then ok with people pirating their stuff since they don't want to offer any option to give them money.
Lugol's iodine is usually not recommended because a single drop has dozens of times the daily recommended dose of iodine. That can cause bad side effects (as discussed in the article)
Never made a game, but I have used this resource for many a graphical stand-in when prototyping some internal applications. Nothing more permanent than a temporary solution, so many of these icons are still used well after the MVP.
I don’t know if that’s Disney’s problem, overall—Turning Red, Elemental, Encanto, and Raya and the last Dragon are all recent Disney movies with female leads who had interesting character arcs. Not all had love interests, but most the main character was too young. Raya could have, but she lives in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, and anyway I don’t think the movie had room for another subplot.
I prefer the Spider-verse movies over MCU spiderman, but both Nolan Batman and early MCU showed that photorealism can work if the tone/plot/etc. matches and uses photorealism effectively. Similarly, using animation effectively, as the Spider-verse movies, the various Marvel cartoons of the 90s (IMHO animated teenage Iron Man is more interesting than MCU Iron Man), or even ATLA (unlike the movie...) did, also show that you can tell interesting and deep stories even though it's not live action.
false-y values in dynamically typed languages is a mistake
What gate keeping? I just see a valid correction to your misstatement and your reaction reads like a defensive Karen wrote it.
Yes, we can, and will do. Solar is so cheap that 4x overbuild is still cheaper than nukes, and cost is still plummeting.
Just as well New York and Virginia have oodles of open ocean right at their doorstep to run multi-gigawatt wind farms I guess huh?
In an effort to share a Huberman podcast, I found a guy reacting (negatively) to it. And the critic was talking about something called “Active Focus”.

I’m going to leave this link [1] here for you to follow. Since I am just falling down this rabbit hole myself.

But if you do go down this rabbit hole, feel free to share info in this thread…I might also add my email in the bio. Anyways, good luck!

Sure if not taking privacy ("is my data being sold to competitors and anyone who pays? Will it leak to the web?") and strategic vision ("will this critical dependency be shutdown tomorrow") into consideration.

Other than that it's cool, sure.
Nothing about your particular solution suggests it should be labeled capitalist, in fact, it would fit well under a number of radically different economic ideologies.
This is why I always buy storage in threes: Two drives for ZFS mirrored RAID, one for offline backup, and a really basic rsync script.

Three drives crapping out simultaneously is rare enough that you can pretty much pretend it will never happen. And if you are still worried, there's always online backup services.
... and I spent last few hours trying them now :)

Low latency, high quality function calling API product may be a billion dollar business in two years.
There was no mention of night, but thanks for pointing out yet another reason why solar needs to be overbuilt while nuclear doesn't.
I'm curious to see if/how it'll impact marital satisfaction.
And motivate state actors to get their supply chain in check. After all, whats the difference between a secure coprocessor and a silicone bug?
Forget the desktop, give me a Linux phone.
The trick of course will be to have the software offered as a paid product by a non-profit, while having a for-profit outfit develop the software as a custom/consulting engagement for the non-profit. You can thank me later.

IANAL, so I think the best course of action would be to do a search. Plenty of lawyers have written the summarized context you seek.
Chinas’s accession to the Universal Copyright Convention, and an alleged desire to comply with international IP law, led to an influx of OECD IP and foreign direct investment(FDI).

In hindsight, China wasn’t diligent in the enforcement of IP violations. However, it’s clear foreign presences and investment grew substantially in China during the early 90s upon the belief IP would be protected, or at the very least there would be recourse for violations.
The dashed lines are too steep to be escalators and they are not vertical so they can't be elevators either. Elsewhere in this thread, it has been suggested that perhaps the height between levels has been exaggerated for clarity, and that's why the escalators ended up looking impossibly steep.
This is what happens when someone understands there is a problem but has fundamentally missed the fact that everyone else has already solved it. Non-commercial licenses or business source and commons clause have fixed the problem with open source.

Bruce is just too blind to see it.
Not supporting a platform just because it may cause it may cause battery drain which may not even matter to plugged in users seems like gatekeeping.
That was painful to read. Logging definitely rates as the least favorite module I have to regularly use. The Java ancestry is obvious, and making some free incremental improvements should have been done a decade ago.
I learned that too late! But yes, this is an amazing piece of knowledge not well known.
New Zealand soil is naturally low in iodine, so by law iodine is added to certain foods (e.g. salt, bread):

How do you handle changes during a session? Eg legs/cats, chairs being moved etc - are those constantly re-integrated in the map?
> The license does not proscribe this in letter

I do really disagree on this. If somebody tells you "you are allowed to do X", not punishing you when you do X is clearly stated.
I mean, in principle I don't disagree. A quantitative kpi that shows before and after is usually measured differently for each product you're building docs for.

For example, if you have a developer tool, the number of devs you can successfully onboard after you have solid documentation up and running is an effective strategy for getting unimaginative middle managers to understand the value.

Generally the people I work with have already come to the right conclusion because they have tried everything else and not gained the traction they believe their product deserves.
111?
Hmmm ... that is not my experience of it. My experience is that the actual experts' comments are half-way down the page, and in fields I do know about, most of the comments range from amateurish to BS. The omnipresent take-down comments are disputed by the experts, usually. Many of them follow the same formulaic 'take-down' patterns that reflect amateurism and ignorance trying to look smart, such as railing against sample sizes, etc.

Also, your comment is a baseless claim - like the strawperson journalists you rail against - that HN commenters are more informed than the authors. I expect that very few HN commenters are as informed.
It could be done for some software, but some popular licenses like GPL don't allow additional restrictions on use.
We went from using JSON schema to TypeScript types (with comments as needed). For complex schemas (in unscientific testing) we found the output to be better with TypeScript types, and more or less the same for simpler schemas. TypeScript types are also easier (shorter) to write than JSON schema.

There are few benefits to using JSON schema imo, since the LLM isn't a precise validator.
Regarding a ship running on LNG:

https://www.ship-technology.com/projects/viking-energy-cargo...

The same vessel will be launched early next year with an ammonia fuel cell.

LNG can be produced using green energy, the actual engine doesn't care how the fuel was produced.

Regarding the green hydrogen project: it was a proposed pilot production site to produce green hydrogen. And the business case was actually positive. No idea where that project is now, tuey needed EU funding and that was hard to come by during Covid. And after, I stopped being a freelance consultant.
Even if Apple infringes on Masimo's patent, it's not "stealing" as is being constantly asserted in these threads. Just because anyone infringes on a patent doesn't mean any IP was misappropriated or anything was physically stolen.

I take issue with the conflating infringing on a patent and "stealing" IP. The two are not the same.

My reading of Masimo's patent is far less charitable than yours. To me it reads like one of those "but on a computer" type patents. It's not really all that novel but overworked USPTO reviewers grant them anyways.

Supposed sordid dealings by Apple are yet to be demonstrated by anything but unsubstantiated claims by Masimo. Not that Apple is above any wrongdoing but Masimo's executives are incentivized to act like overly aggrieved victims to extract sympathy from third parties.
Was it more productive, objectively speaking, than being consistent and not dealing with the constant drainage due to severely lacking sleep?

When people want 10-100x our current power production, they will build 10-100x solar and wind, because they are massively cheaper. Nukes have only ever got more expensive.

Nukes might make sense on the moon.
It’s hard to see how these non-binding pledges mean anything. France, in particular, already generates ~75% of their electricity with nuclear. They’re really going to triple that and generate 225% of their current generation? The US is going to go from a small handful of planned reactors to hundreds? Where is the money for this coming from?
Knuth’s code has bugs. NASA’s code has bugs. I would like to think that someday our profession might be able to achieve high enough quality to survive with liability, but today nobody is close to that at all.
Every population was indigenous if you go back far enough. Why did some of those indigenous populations rise to global dominance while others were utterly crushed? Was this purely a matter of luck and geography or were there other societal factors?
Doesn’t surprise me, I had an ex-autopilot coworker who said he used to invite engineers to his house on the weekend to deploy and fix nightly versions on his own car.

Beginning with the first setence on your first link:
"Over the past several years, the housing market has become increasingly unaffordable to families. Mortgage rates have skyrocketed while wages have remained flat, and then sprinkle in supply shortages, the pandemic, and inflation."
A crucial part is the contract wording regarding what exactly was sold when NEWAG sold the trains to the operator - namely, the documentation for maintenance and repair was supposed to be complete. As in, should NEWAG encounter a critical existence failure, it should still be possible for a third party to service the trains so long as parts could be acquired, and in worst case, start working on replacement parts.

With most other right-to-repair cases there's way less recourse. With trains in Europe you have legal rules that disallow hiding critical maintenance data behind trade secrets, for example.
