The internet has changed the world. Economically, socially, technologically, psychologically, pretty much everything is now related to it in one or other way, in this sense the internet is comparable to books.

AI is another step in that direction. There is a very real possibility that the day will come when you can get, say, personalized expert nutrition advice. Personalized learning regimes. Psychological assistance. Financial advice. Instantly at no cost. This, very much like the internet, would change society altogether.

Isn't egypt somewhat of an outlier on this topic as there are numerous dry sites? I can't imagine that a bronze tool would survive if made in a wet climate such as East Asia, Northern Europe, or most South American sites.
I'm trying to paint a bigger, better picture.

From the inside of the status quo, those threat models, well-informed reasoning, the descriptions of hierarchy, and what “should” and “should not” be possible, “millions will react like this, millions will react like that” are valid and respected. From the outside, there's a tiny bit of a problem: ordinary human has no value apart from that of a cog in the machine, there is really nothing to protect, an empty place, so all those powerful words crumble like a card house in situations like these.

What I'm hinting at is that that assumption is wrong, it's a dead end from the start. Just like tribes sitting around the bonfire, and discussing legendary totem animals and gods making their life reasonable and orderly, people today are charmed by the images of events “above”. It's just a belief in the workings of “modern world”. One needs a better base to live one's own life, not an axiom that one, for all intents and purposes, doesn't matter.
So? The industry, shipping, agreed on standards and a plan to reduce CO2 emissions. And if you think nuclear power plants on civilian cargo vessels are a good idea,consider the following:

- costs for a single ship reactor (shipping is extremely price and cost sensitive)

- time, and lost revenue (a ship not carrying cargo is only costing money, see above) for refuelling

- piracy and terrorism (I am not really convinced risking having some pirate group somewhere capture nuclear reactor is a good idea)
Perhaps I fail to understand, but doesn't this comparison depend on a number of parameters such as the total reactor fuel load and enrichment, the burn rate, the cost of nuclear fuel, the cost of solar PV, the lifetimes of each system, and the relative process efficiencies (notably the cost of decommissioning nuclear)?

Otherwise you might as well say a teaspoon (or whatever) of water has as much potential fusion energy as 1 Kg U235 at a fraction of the price. ;-)
If I had done that in 2015, sure. Doing it now when the Case Schiller index is at an all time high seems like a bad idea. I just don't know how many years it's going to take for things to correct--so it might end up being a waste of years I could have been building equity if prices don't drop more than the amount of equity I could have built in that time.
What an absurd thing to fixate on. There are a million other things you consume that are going to have more microplastics in them.
It's going to be hard legally to distinguish between a human reading the Times and answering questions and a LLM doing the same. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out in court.

Normally this question would be obnoxious, but hopefully it makes sense in the context (and in the context of HN): Looking at the issues raised in my GP post (to which you replied), why do you believe that?

My hypothesis is, I don't know and I doubt most other people know.
I think this entire thing is nonsensical in the first place. Plagiarism is not related to copyright at all, it's related to credit and attribution. I can plagiarise something in the public domain, for example:

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to [NAME]
Happy birthday to you!
(Written by me.)

In any case, I heavily disagree with Bruce. The whole point of the free culture movement is reusing and remixing previous works, and AI is the ultimate remixer.

Why Software Should Be Free made a case against copyright as well. It's quite disappointing to see open source miss the point of free software once again.
I was expecting some RFC's like https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2068 or talk about RESTful concepts but they go on name-dropping to ...make it more interesting? In my book of knowledge web is a protocol described in an RFC. The rest of the stuff rides on top so I was expecting to see the a description of the evolution of such protocol. Netscape (danm you cookies!), PhP, Adobe Flash (Oh boy) is not the history of the bar but the history of the celebrities who frequent the joint.
Faster Mixtral inference with TensorRT-LLM and quantization
You seem very confident of this position and its coherence, but it seems to be a minority stance, with plenty of other coherent minority stances competing with it. What's the best way to tell your idea from other competing models -- not so much the neoliberal one, but other alternative claims of the nature of human history?
Now it just need to be combined with something like https://github.com/haimgel/display-switch to do a DDC/CI monitor input switch as the USB activity moves around.

With a device like this you'd be missing the on_usb_connect event, but presumably you could do something (a special HID device button, an extra device id appearing, who knows) to make it work.
If you include entire paragraphs without citing, that's copyright violation, not fair use. If your blog was big enough to matter NYT would definitely sue.

A human makes their own choices about what to disseminate, whereas these are singular for-profit services that anybody can query. The prompt injection attacks that reveal the original text show that the originals are retrievable, so if OpenAI et al cannot exchaustively prove that it will _never_ output copyrighted text without citation, then it's game over.

Are you going to bring any counterexamples or keep assuming that someone… somewhere… must surely have found an actual use case for this garbage?
Batteries are not for riding out winter, they're for evening out the daily load.

You have to overbuild renewables to handle seasonal variation, as well as make long-distance interconnects. Pumped hydro is also extremely interesting for obvious reasons.

Nuclear as it exists today is not cost competitive. But that's mostly an artificial problem caused by regulation. Can we solve that without sacrificing safety? Can we even solve it at all? Bloated regulatory agencies seem to have infiltrated and poisoned every aspect of society with no relief in sight.
50kg! Thats a major achievement, well done.

I like the idea. One of my favourite diets is the CSIRO diet but the drawback is it takes much more time to find the ingredients (supermarkets seem not optimized to find specific things or help you know they don’t have it). Thats what I would like to see - not just X calories but the macros,
micros and having alternative ingredients and generally easier to find stuff.
I don't think it's hyperbole, in fact I think it's understating things a bit. I believe AGI would just be a tiny step towards long term evolution, which may or may not involve homo sapiens.

Being able to use electricity as a fuel source and code as a genome allows them to evolve in circumstances hostile to biological organisms. Someday they'll probably incorporate organic components too and understand biology and psychology and every other science better than any single human ever could.

It has the potential to be much more than just another primate. Jumpstarted by us, sure, but I hope someday soon they'll take to the stars and send us back postcards.

Shrug. Of course you can disagree. I doubt I'll live long enough to see who turns out right, anyway.
Huh. I see downvotes. I am mystified, for if people and corporations are both treated stringently under the law, corporations will fight to have overly restrictive laws knocked down.

I envision pitting corporate body against corporate body, when one corporatism lobbies, works to (for example) extend copyrights, others will work to weaken copyright.

That doesn't happen as vigilantly currently, because there is no corporate incentive. They play the old, ask for forgiveness, rather than permission angle.

Anyhow. I just prefer to set my enemies against my enemies. More fun.
Hello HN!

For some time now I have worked on a selfhostable trashmail solution that works with my own (sub)domains. Many amazing people have contributed since then and we now even have webhooks on incoming emails.

I often use OpenTrashmail myself for privacy but also to automate email-2fa logins.

For example during the pandemic my clients (mostly schools) had to test their students via a central platform and they wanted to get automatic statistics from the site. Easy enough with a crawler but it had 2fa via email so I implemented API access to OpenTrashmail so my scripts would wait for the 2fa email to arrive and parse the code and enter it for automated logins

It was also my first project using HTMX which I really fell in love with after fighting for my sanity with Vue and React
Careful, you're asking to be downvoted to hell with any presentation of humour here on HN.

But seriously, if you resonate glass strongly enough you can shatter it - and that's the principle-mechanism I assume is occurring here.
Clothes look transparent and seatbelts look white in some of the images. Infrared? I agree it makes it hard to see amy detail when an allegedly black tie is all but invisible.

> was tried, nuclear reactors on civilian ships, and found to be a stupid idea

We only did a demo ship, which was combination cargo and passenger. The principal cost was being rejected from ports for their lacking acceptance procedures, a first-mover cost. Nuclear shipping has never been “found to be a stupid idea.” It was simply never explored.
It targeted Russian embassy officials, and with this level of sophistication, so it’s quite obviously NSA/etc.
> It's hard to conclusively prove or disprove this hypothesis given the difficulties in reliably dating stone artifacts. And if such civilizations did exist, much of the evidence has probably been inundated by rising sea levels making it extremely difficult for archaeologists to find.

Why is evidence for that theory more difficult to find and date than evidence for the prevailing theories (which has been found, of course)?
TensorRT-LLM plus int8 quantization = cheaper, minimal quality loss. Some nice tables in the post

Aren't those examples better handled by an if statement than a unaccountable computer? Someone that can be sued for negligence seems to be better at making decisions than hallucinating computers.

I don't see why it follows that the NYT should be sacrificed so some rich people in silicon valley can teach their LLM on the cheap.
Diffusion Models for Generative AI: An Introduction for Applied Mathematicians
You're working with the assumption that settling in large groups, creating a "state", and tending to agriculture represents progress for the people involved. I'd recommend checking out Scott's "Against the Grain: A Deep History of the Earliest States" for an alternative look at those assumptions.

N3188: Identifying Array Length State
Taking parking minimums out of the zoning code is about not hoisting people's desire onto developers and people who buy or rent those units without using it, and requiring car owners to put their money where their mouth is.
One interesting use of iodine supplementation is during nuclear accidents, where it is given to flood the thyroid and prevent unstable iodine isotopes from being taken up.

"Iodine-131 (usually as iodide) is a component of nuclear fallout, and is particularly dangerous owing to the thyroid gland's propensity to concentrate ingested iodine and retain it for periods longer than this isotope's radiological half-life of eight days. For this reason, people at risk of exposure to environmental radioactive iodine (iodine-131) in fallout may be instructed to take non-radioactive potassium iodide tablets... Ingestion of [a] large dose of non-radioactive iodine minimises the uptake of radioactive iodine by the thyroid gland."

This seems like the sane, boring reality. People with modern dental routines probably don't benefit from the original purposes of fluoridation the same way people in the early 1900s only just getting electricity did.

But people only just getting electricity in the early 1900s easily benefited more than were harmed by such things. Poor dental health gets scary quick.

I guess the question becomes how low do you lower the bar for those who would willingly devoid themselves of sane things to include in their lives. How much freedom does one man have to harm his self, though he thinks as a self, costs to him are more often than not also costs incurred to society (and usually a society that'd prefer to not see people do self harmful things)

At least in the US though, it seems that popular opposition to fluoridation started with cold war era conservative conspiracies (precious bodily fluids). So, you know.
I've tried numerous apps, but never got any value out of them. What has worked best for me is to have two checking accounts. One where all recurring expenses are billed from that holds all the money, and a second that contains the money budgeted for the week. Every Friday I replenish the weekly account with the budgeted amount no matter how much was spent. I tried doing this on a monthly basis but would always end up overspending and going over. Weekly has worked great because you can quickly see if you are overspending. My wife and I also have personal checking accounts where we each deposit the same amount of personal spending money every month.

None of the studies prove that aerobic (or any other kind of) exercise actually improve cognitive function. It just restores the cognitive impairment from lack of exercise, similarly to fixing a nutritional deficiency.

Being sedentary is the aberration, not the historic norm.
Goethe wrote in 1779 about his travels to Switzerland: “Die scheußlichen Kröpfe haben mich ganz und gar üblen Humors gemacht (“The horrible goiters have given me a very bad sense of humour”). Definitely plenty of earlier historic evidence.
Fast External Mac Storage. What I've Learned
I'm in the process of getting a new Mac and am pondering my storage options. Apple's internal SSDs, beyond the base configurations, are super expensive.

Because all Macs have super fast Thunderbolt 4 interfaces, I started researching what's available via TB4. This was surprisingly complicated, so I'm sharing what I learned for others who are pondering what to consider for external storage for Macs (and possibly other systems).

For transparency let me say that I am not affiliated with any manufacturers mentioned here. I've not purchased or used any of the product here. I'm just sharing my learnings and some links to speed up the research for others.

- USB4 and Thunderbolt 4 are more emerging standards rather than commodity interfaces. (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/thunderbolt/thunderbolt-4-vs-usb-c.html)

- M.2 SSD drives utilizing the NVMe and M.2 standards are established and the price and terabyte wars are well underway. Cost/terabyte for name brand drives is now under $60. (https://www.pcmag.com/picks/the-best-m2-solid-state-drives)

- External enclosures for M.2 NVMe SSD drives have been around for a few years. They have solid performance but run super hot--like 80°C hot. (https://www.techtarget.com/searchstorage/post/Understand-SSD-overheating-and-what-to-do-about-it)

- The fastest mainstream enclosures in 2023 are from companies like Acasis and Orico and are labeled for 40Gbps speed over Thunderbolt 4 (more on that below). The street price in the US is about $120 for the enclosure and a short cable. (https://www.tomshardware.com/best-picks/best-ssd-and-hard-drive-enclosures)

- Benchmark performance with high quality NVMe SSDs are far below the labeled spec: 2,700MB/second per the BlackMagic SSD benchmarks. Yes less than 40 Gbps, but still super fast.

- Standards confusion. I won't pretend to understand the standards experts are discussing (PCIe and USB 3.2 2x2 anyone?), but the current generation of enclosure manufacturers are actually feeding confusion about the standards and most Thunderbolt4 and USB4 enclosures appear to be mislabeled. (https://www.tomshardware.com/best-picks/best-ssd-and-hard-drive-enclosures)

- As 2023 ends, one vendor, Zike, stands out as having a unique product that uses a different chipset, produces faster BlackMagic benchmarks and is making strides in addressing the heat issue. (https://www.tomshardware.com/news/zikedrive-usb4-ssd-benchmarked)

It took me about 4 elapsed days and a few hours of internet research to advance my research to this point. Hope I'm saving y'all some time by sharing. Feel free to update. I don't think I'm "done."
OP is saying that this is how things should be, not how things are.

The government is well-configured to use copyright as a stick, too. Literally the only reason why copyright - an artificially imposed monopoly - works at all is because the government enforces it, and so it gets to set the terms for eligibility. The legal mechanism here would be a new law, same as your tax proposal, so I fail to see the difference.

As far as needing servers to continue running - the community is generally quite capable of doing that so long as there are no legal roadblocks to it like DMCA and CFAA. It is likely to provide a better experience too, compared to what would essentially be compelled support from the original developer, which is virtually guaranteed to be the least they can get away with to legally dodge the tax - e.g. spinning up one underpowered server that can only serve very few users at a time.

It is also unclear how such compelled services would interact with game updates. Is the server required to support all past versions of the game going all the way back to the original release? For competitive multiplayer games especially this may not feasible for good reasons. OTOH if you only require that they support the most recent update, this opens the possibility of the developer simply shipping an "update" that disables as many features as they can get away with once the game is on life support - e.g. removing multiplayer entirely if possible, or at least making it as crippled as they can get away with; and then providing support only for that crippled version.
> Also, how do you do async fstat and mkdir in Linux? I don't see it in manpages.

io_uring. and a virtual filesystem may have to serve multiple concurrent requests from several threads. so even if individual IO calls are blocking in the aggregate they still have to be interleaved.

Whales are fairly resistant to cancers (and so are other mammals, such as bats or naked mole rats), at least compared to humans.

Possibly, we may one day run DNA modifications on ourselves to copy whale/bat/naked mole rat genes into our cells in order to acquire similar protection.

Sounds wild, but it once sounded wild to infect yourself with a cowpox pus in order to prevent human smallpox.
This is another problem we may face in future. I guess we really need to launch a community where people can provide data for the future models.

It turns out Tesla has a PR department after all.

> our principles have been the same since the beginning

Tesla's principle is to lie routinely.

Tesla lies continuously about full self-driving: https://motherfrunker.ca/fsd/

Tesla lies about things as dumb as quarter mile runs: https://insideevs.com/news/699260/tesla-cybertruck-porsche-r...

When lying is so much a part of the company culture, a post to Twitter which essentially says "Trust us, bro" is not very compelling.
It will likely take a minimum of ten years to get a non light water reactor certified by the NRC. And that is very optimistic. Then you have to build the first of a kind plant which is always more expensive and takes longer. Then you have to get good at operating these new kinds of plants.

It's true that MSR and Breeder reactors have lots of potential benefits over traditional LWRs but the truth is, LWRs are more than good enough for right now and we literally can't build enough of them if even if we tried.

You wouldn't want to power all of human society off of LWRs simply because they only access ~5% of the energy in the fuel. But we're so far away from that being a constraint. Build LWRs today and keep developing Breeder/MSR tech.
AI certainly isn’t a replacement for journalism, but that doesn’t mean journalism will continue to exist if no one pays for it. If everyone gets their news from chatGPT or the like there will be no investigative reporting.
