Sure, there is one abstraction that effectively requires GC, namely a general graph of spaghetti references where you can't possibly predict in advance or "pay attention" to" how much is freed or allocated as you change scopes". Many GOFAI problems look like that which is why GC was initially developed in the context of LISP, the most prominent language for GOFAI. But for most real-world programs you can do vastly better than that.
TBH, I think Valve is doing pretty well with both. Steam has now long resulted in a renaissance for indie game marketing and access, and the Steam Deck is incredibly well designed for on-the-go usability.
I'm not familiar with broadcast DNS. Does this purely result in an exfiltration capability or is there the possibility of a return channel as well?
I wonder if someone has considered building a modern variant of Smalltalk on top of elixir/erlang.

You’d get virtualization, multi threading, scalability, etc.

And consider git, DevOps, CI/CD and off we go?
I believe the story was (at one point at least) that RPi used a Broadcom SoC that had already been developed for some other application, keeping the cost down by using a chip that was already in volume production. I don't believe this is still the case but then again I haven't been following RPi development very closely.

I don't think it indicates any use of inferior materials or build quality per se, just that they designed around existing components to avoid the high initial cost of a bespoke SoC.
I’ve done plenty of research and have not found a study that backs your position. If you’d like to have a discussion in good faith I’d like you to present some data. I did my research and presented my data. I don’t need to do your work for you. But if you dig something up I will happily read it.
You can Google for just about anything these days. Or ChatGPT if you're into that. a lot of the time as a person who's known to be good at computer stuff to my friends, I have no idea and just Google their questions, and seem smart.
Winter.

All jokes aside, any "natural" fasting would probably be directly related to how much food is available, how perishable it is, and how long it keeps. Late winter and early spring were pretty hard times for folks living in places with 4 seasons (the time of Christian lent, in general). "natural" fasting was likely just a result of food availability.

And recommended and/or normal eating times have changed a lot through history, much as the foods we eat have. And so much of what we "know" is speculation: We can't realistically tell how often or what times any pre-history civilisation ate, for example.
How do eFuses work to ensure it's physically irrevocable?
I think all the AI stuff is oversold. I don’t think it’s very good, but I think it’s going to be hugely successful because big companies will happily replace people with half broken garbage. They don’t care if nothing works because no one will have working systems and we’re forced to buy a lot of their junk no matter what due to oligopolies and monopolies, especially for critical services like communications, electricity, etc..
Maybe I don't understand what a gold sink is well enough, but I don't see how IRS can be considered a gold sink. Gold spend with NPCs are not returned to the economy. Taxes are returned to the economy.
Quality issues. Mass production haven’t wiped out hand made furniture.

Doesn't he explicitly address WASM as an unfit backend in the article ?
eg if the fuse blows the line that powers up that part of the chip, then it simply can't power up after the fuse has been blown and thus is unusable.

Going in and fixing that blown trace inside of an IC is beyond the capabilities of almost everyone because decapping a chip renders it inoperable.
You people really get triggered when someone casually states an opinion you disagree with, don’t you? Not taking the bait, sorry. The mere fact that you are so tedious and defensive about this point only makes me more determined not to be associated with your position.

You and Kenny are coming across as the type of people who see everything in simplistic black-and-white terms in which everything that ever goes wrong in the world, goes wrong because someone went against with your opinions which are Obviously Right And Impossible To Disagree With In Good Faith. That’s not how I see things and I am glad to make crystal clear that my criticism of Boeing’s decision is not rooted in any sort of unthinking pro-union tribalism, but rather in a considered appraisal of the situation in which I am willing to not only question but even reject the easy answers my own biases would otherwise lead me to.
> In my experience the place that fidelity is most important is in the monitoring.

Some high-end headphones are marketed as "studio" headphones. Meaning for professionals such as you when doing the monitoring at the recording studio, and not for the consumer at home.

I never managed to understand why what's good for the pro is not good for the consumer. Might you be able to help explain?
To be fair a lot of places do publish a “kitchen closes at”, or at least mark it on the menu, so folks coming in after 9:30 know that they can have a drink but that’s it.

I think that’s the best solution to be honest, but it’s not done everywhere.

I see high income, high skilled workers being affected earlier. There's nothing to automate away the cleaner I'm hiring to clean my house once a week.
What if the last available job ever is a soldier? I mean, if the only scarcity becomes about owning and having place to put the machines that work for you and no human work is better than the machine work maybe those who don't have AI to work for them will try to destroy those who have and seize the machines and the resources(energy, space, other machines).

Maybe its a bit of a stretch but I don't believe that people will be like "oh crap, my skills don't make me a living anymore. bad luck, nothing I can do about it". Currently people in disadvantage(real or perceived) are already revolting against affirmative action and cheaper labor from abroad.
Other the main complaint I've heard about shopify is their endless Nicole dime fees. Followed by so-so support and poor export when leaving the platform.

I would consider those rather normal complaints. Is there something else?
Weirdly, I answered almost exactly the same “invert the RNG” question on StackOverflow (https://stackoverflow.com/a/15237585/1204143) just a few months before you posted your question to Crypto.SE, except that I attacked the Java RNG instead of the MSVC RNG. They both use a simple LCG design where outputs are truncations of the internal state, so the attacks are very similar to each other.
Well people apparently don't pull to the side in real life. And then a remote operator will also be powerless.
Yeah the shielding is to not cook your eyeballs if you observe the food, and to not cook anything else outside of the chamber, including e.g. your phone's wifi receiver.
(Nickle-and-dime fees)
Perhaps this is splitting hairs (although that's necessary for licenses), but would it not be sufficient to be able to install the binary somewhere, but not on every machine? E.g., if I tell a customer the modified binary can be installed on some emulator, but not their phone, why is that prohibited?

In this case, I guess the installation information would have to be "use an emulator and do XYZ".
Ah, the trickle-down effect we've been hearing so much of.
But most people are fine with a mass produced furniture rather than hand made one...
I'm not so sure, at all. I think folks are woefully underestimating most people's desires for at least some level of "authenticity". For example, in the past 6-9 months or so, it feels like nearly every random blog post or corporate announcement I read feels the need to use an AI-generated header image. I understand why - "stock imagery" has always been used to paint a scene for an article. The thing is, though, is that, at least for me, it just cheapens the use of imagery in the first place. Every time I see one of these now I roll my eyes, I think they look cheesy and stupid. Even ones that are photo-realistic quality, you can tell by the composition that it's just generic AI.

If you make something ridiculously cheap to produce, it also has the effect of discounting the value people take from it.
I live in a small town and the loudest sounds besides the train itself is the extremely loud horn it blows before every crossing. Apparently nobody wants to pay for automatic booms at the road crossings so it legally has to use the horn that blasts through the area.
Sure it does. UTF-8 is constructed such that characters from lower ASCII have the identical 1-byte encoding. You might be thinking of UTF-16 or UTF-32, or non-ASCII characters...
Mass production hasn’t wiped out hand-made furniture, but it’s damn fucking hard to get decent furniture these days on a reasonable budget. There used to be a kind of comfortable mid-range where you could spend extra money and get decent furniture, without going into luxury or bespoke furniture. Now, it seems like everything is either similar to Ikea in terms of build quality, or some kind of expensive / luxury good.

It’s basically bimodal now.
Except without the high income job, you can't afford the housecleaner.
Can you elaborate more on the product that you created and sold?
If you look at modern warfare the drone is replacing the soldier already. That’ll only accelerate and multi modal generative AI will help that.
Yes it has. Just because _some_ woodworkers still exist doesn't mean the profession as a whole hasn't massively declined with the advent of the likes of IKEA.
The radiation is in an ISM band, which has no far field emissions limits beyond "be reasonable".
The close-range limits are about safety for living being and other devices nearby, so e.g. not cooking you, and not frying your phone's WiFi receiver.
Micro StartUps Acquisitions
Startups Acquisitions, your go-to 'Dead Projects' SaaS marketplace for navigating the dynamic world of buying and selling startups. We facilitate the acquisition of startups with Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) or TTM ranging from $0 to $10,000. Basically a platform for abandoned or dead projects with potential to scale.
The project explains that the reason is latency.

It is indeed true that most VMs, including JavaScript, WebAssembly, the JVM, etc., have significant latency on the boundary. For example, many wasm VMs will install a signal handler, and that needs to be enabled/disabled on each entry/exit from the VM.

But the latency can be fixed. You can sandbox WebAssembly without a signal handler, in particular (at the cost of a few % throughput overhead for bounds checks). I'm not sure if the author benchmarked that, but it should be very fast.

(As for "why RISC-V" in the project, it looks like that's because it's easy to write an interpreter for, but it could have been any compiler target, it seems.)
I think decapping doesn't necessarily render the chip inoperable, there's some research around attacking tamper resistant hardware and probing the decapped chips while powered on. But you have to be more careful about it of course. Also do all techniques require decapping? Seems in principle you could navigate by x-ray and fix traces disconnected by electromigration efuses using ion beam/implantation, possibly through the packaging.

edit: here's someone talking about running decapped chips. https://electronics.stackexchange.com/a/400899
> Is the idea that each object has a dictionary mapping function names to code and sending a message to an object means execute whatever was found in that dictionary?

Isn't that how Python, Ruby, JS etc. work under the hood anyway? And yes it's quite predictably a drag on performance.
Indeed. The same is true of clothes, which used to be all custom made, hand tailored.

There is still manual labour in some of that, but it's vastly reduced, and almost never bespoke.

The same is true of so many things. Only those with money to burn, can afford that ancestral experience.
If you resort to violence so will they to protect their property.

If AGI becomes a thing, without political intervention, a lot of people will effectively be left out of the economy.
From what I understand it went down for a long time, but what people did was if they managed to get into your account the first thing they would do is remove the authenticator. That involved entering a couple sequential values. But if you set up the keylogger right, you could trick users into failing the credential check 3 times at login and get their account.
Perhaps more to the point, executives will replace people with half broken garbage and then ride the wave of cost savings and innovation woo just long enough to cash out a fat bonus and bounce to another organization like a swarm of locusts.
Interesting example that I hadn't considered. But, since Typst is a programming language, there are lots of ways the same thing could be achieved directly in the language. E.g.:

// Change this to switch languages
#let selectedLang = "en"
#let lang(..arguments) = arguments.named().at(selectedLang)

#workinfo(
position: lang(en: "Senior Developer", es: "Señor Developer"),
etc...
)
Installed capacity is sometimes measured by power output rather than energy storage capacity. Both measures are relevant.
True but the the current drones are made by people. If the thing beocmes a political movement, think a charismatic populist leader rallying people against the people with the smart machines, people can destroy the AI folks way before the AI folks can make machines that make other machines autonomously.
This isn't about this moment. You think "now" is "always like this"???

Future images will make real babies look ugly in comparison.
If anything I feel like ads and product listings are a case that definitely won't move to AI. Surely the ad needs to be a photo of the actual thing, rather than an approximation? I realise ads are often heavily edited, but correctness is still a very important concern in advertising in general and well supported with legal precedent in much of the world. There are industries that have moved almost entirely to digital renders (car adverts, Ikea catalogues, etc), but in these cases I think there's still a legal necessity to use highly accurate modelling.

I think the area that will move will be stock photos. They're only really used when the photo doesn't actually matter. I'm already seeing many AI generated images replacing stock photos on random blog posts.
I don't think the market will allow that. AI doesn't do autonomy well. It can work ok for a few steps, maybe surpassing average humans, but in long time horizon tasks it doesn't carry out. Companies need their people to extract the AI juice, they need humans-in-the-loop. Especially in critical tasks.

Even if AI can't carry out serious tasks, it can still have better form than humans, it would be an improvement for customer support compared to what some companies are doing today (almost nothing). We still need humans to escalate to, when AI is useless.

I hope instead of leading to layoffs AI will lead to competition on quality, diversity, price or customizability. Raising the bar for everyone, instead of replacing us. Is there any reason a company would prefer lowering costs to competing for market share with AI? There's more upside to increasing profits than reducing costs.
I have no idea what you're getting a commercial photography has been on the edge of obscurity for a long time, and there's little new here. Of the several photographers I've known in my years, there's only maybe a couple that managed to make an actual career out of it.

I'm not entirely sure a final nail will be from AI, but there are def. too many people chasing too few jobs in that industry.
> C has this solved

It hasn't… but C developers are much more careful about adding a dependency than js/python/rust/go developers. Mostly because adding a dependency in C is more annoying. In those languages it's just about adding one line.

Of course if you use a distribution and it's a famous library, it's to add a line as well. But then there is the filter of the distribution. Which would work for any language, but most developers vendor everything instead.
The Eastern world is no different. China and Japan have record low birth rates and declining populations. Same goes for other advanced nations.
You can with finetuning, but I think parent is being sarcastic :-) I think the point is that no one (ok, not no one, but few people) will view fake photos in the same way as real ones when it comes to sentimentality.
I was excited to read about filtering within logging pipelines, however the article left me bitterly dissapointed.
Framework is very well supported on Linux, and have both Intel and AMD builds. Highly recommended.
Inflammable means flammable. Couple means few. You can disagree with descriptivism, but you've lost the moment the issue was noticed if enough people keep doing it.
Not dealing with consumers directly is something that applies to a million businesses.

Focusing on specific routes applies to many many businesses too.

The ability to provide more human assistance in tricky situations doesn't apply to trains at all.

Your claim that they are "describing trains" is utter nonsense.
Haven't we proven that the sense of invulnerability leads to worse outcomes as well?
Early AoC was fun, you could get away without anything fancy until late in the game. Then it got harder, not fun, so I gave up and stopped touching it.
The 1968 Burt Lancaster film of the story is superb
>As far as focusing on more popular areas, where's the evidence that there's necessarily anything wrong with that

Imagine researchers want to do some new research into some kind of surgery in hopes of it eventually being useful for humans. They're deciding what animal to perform the research with and the two options are geckos or dogs.

Everything they know suggests using geckos would provide more beneficial data for this experiment, but with dogs they know they could run a PR campaign about how they're helping injured dogs and use a regular stream of photos to maintain public support.

This is a BS hypothetical, but it's fairly easy to imagine many teams picking the option that does worse research but provides more funding.

edit and this is assuming everybody requesting research grants is well intentioned.
What makes you think it’ll be “half broken garbage”?

We’re at AI’s 80s brick cell phone stage right now, there’s a lot of improvement to come.
> Why do you need the actual baby when you can have a fake baby with mangled hears and 7 fingers per hand?

Comments like these are fine on Twitter and Facebook, but if you're on HackerNews, commenting on an article about AI, it makes you look completely out of touch. You've clearly not kept pace with the technology and are just repeating verbatim what you saw 6 months ago.

HN, as a whole, has been so behind the curve that it's not even funny.
I looked at a random example [1], and this needs heavy rework if it needs to work as an example. I'm scared to look at other examples.

- The second half of the 900 line style file is commented out code. Ugh. Should I be learning from examples or reviewing code when I read this?

- The end if the style file define/replaces coordinates which are not defined in the substance file. Why? Isn't it the point that a substance file has all the data? All coordinates and whatnot?

Overall, it does look cool. I like the idea of distinct substance/style/domain files. I probably won't give it a spin until it looks rock solid from a distance.

seems to me you bought a bad laptop. i bought a cheap generic lenovo and the only thing that is not working is the fingerprint reader, which is probably for the best.

even the touchscreen / stylus works great and that is not my words but a family member that gifted my laptop (due to irrelevant to tech, life reasons)
There is a thing in economics called "curse or resources", which is when a country discovers oil, diamonds, or some other rare mineral that can be easily recovered. One would think that's a good thing, because it brings jobs and wealth to the country.

However, history shows that it's actually bad because it brings out the worst humans, the ones with the most greed and the most curel methods, and results in things like civil war, military dictatorships, and much higher wealth inequality than before.

This is in contrast to the countries that are resource poor, they live from human labour instead and seem to have better development trajectory. Of course, there is an impact of influence from the west which benefits from cheap resources, but I'd argue that some of those effects come from the inside.

I think that with AI, our societies will look more like some african country with warlords than the developed, labour based economies we have today.

Does that mean that soldier is going to be the last job? AI is coming for those jobs too. Drones of various kinds are already used in today's wars, but they do certainly still have need for foot soldiers.

I think that the emergence of AI will have a major impact on resource distribution questions in developed economies, which until now have distributed resources based on labour force. Without intervention, it will trend more towards distribution seen in countries with the curse of resources, which is more violent.
Exactly. China created a middle class the size of the United States all in one generation.
This is pretty much my view as well. I’m dreading this near future.
Cool project. IPFS downloads do not count toward the daily download limit.
So the house cleaners won’t be automated away, just unemployed because nobody can pay them.
Sometimes I wonder, what amount of money would Adobe accept to sell Flash Player and Flash Professional.

That company could then open source it. I even thought of the name of the company already, it should be called Macromedia.
Mermaid has been nice to use. It's very much in a beta phase still, with some odd quirks and missing documentation. I'm excited to see where it will be in a year's time.
No, guilds makes it worse, not better.

As the article itself says, the doomsaying should be taken with a grain of salt. There are problems, and the best thing to do is improve your code, and encourage your team to focus on performance, security, etc. Lead by example. Adding bureaucracy never fixed anything, and wastes so much time money and opportunity in the process.
But society needs to afford the garbageman, the janitor, the person who fixes the street lights.

Most work done is like this, still, even today. It may be replaced down the road, but an AI model won't help someone take out the trash.
No, it says that that latency of calling into the VM can be lower in a simple interpreter compared to an optimizing VM (which might need to do things on the call boundary).
Our team uses diagrams-as-code (plantUML) to document processes, interactions, and state machines. Because our use case is functional, they don't have to look good - just good enough and understandable.

Some reasons on why we still use them: (1) They're source-control friendly. And (2) in some cases, we could generate them directly from code. We deal with a lot of state machines on embedded devices, and whenever management asks for "documentation", we run a transformer script that consumes the source code and spits out state diagrams that would placate them.
If per capita means nothing, the logical solution for China is to split itself into 100 countries. Somehow that would make the contribution from each new country less important in your view.

Measuring by per capita pollution and getting that measure down is the only sane way to count emissions. The end product is the same, total emissions go down, but we can focus on a metric that makes sense no matter how large the country you’re measuring is.
Some.. screenshots wouldn't go amiss
