Ironically this is what conspiracists call "global government" - in reality a network of mafia-like operations kept together by the same interests, spread internationally because the world became so small.
Perhaps in the past, but the NSA are good at predicting trends. They know that something broken by a supercomputer today will likely be broken on a smartwatch tomorrow. Intelligence agencies, unlike most tech firms, need to futureproof their secrets for decades. While the NSA no doubt has an interest secret backdoors, I don't think they would today support mathematically weak encryption.
I doubt you've lived in other countries long enough to compare those systems based on what you're saying about banking, there's virtually no difference anywhere I've been and I still have a number of foreign bank accounts. Every time I see someone criticize US banking it's based on the assumption that poor people are too stupid to understand that interest is charged on loans or that withdrawing money you don't have incurs a fee. I agree with college and health care being ridiculous in the US and arguably mainstream news too (no wonder they're losing influence to podcasts). Everything else is either nowhere near unique to the US or exaggerated to the level of caricature.
It has the same intrinsic value as the other cryptocurrencies: Illegal activity (in this case, piracy).
> I’m a happy ApplePay user, but you absolutely do have to give them your (card) information upfront through the whole adding your card in the Wallet app.

Do you actually have to give them the card? Or is it only stored somehow on the phone? I wonder how this works exactly.

When I replaced my old iphone with a new one, I did the whole "transfer everything" dance. Waited around for two hours (didn't restore from icloud, but transferred from old to new), and still had to manually add my CCs to Apple Pay again.
Thanks for sharing this. See the previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27456222
this is why we should continue standardizing on english as a global language. there are serious costs to language barriers, and even if many countries maintain fluency in native tongues (China, Europe) promoting english fluency has huge economic benefits, in no small part for the developing world.
Cats are mostly a problem because of suburban sprawl. You don't see many cats where there are no human residences. By creating massive sprawling car dependent suburbs we make huge deadly areas for birds. If we instead focused on making smaller walkable communities with public transport, then we could reduce the habitat destruction and have more land for birds and other wildlife.
Your comment made me smile!

I haven't written that text, I was too lazy. I most things on FAQ page but asked ChatGPT to write the learn page and minor parts on FAQ. I am going to ask it to write a simpler text because I am not native English speaker either and I totally agree with you on these points. It's quite stupid text hahaha

How much of his stake did he burn to buy twitter? Did Tesla get paid when its engineers were moonlighting at twitter? Musk has been promising self-driving cars next year for, what, a decade now? Wasn't that supposed to be his best effort at building out AI? Or is he now saying that he was just kidding that whole time and now he's suddenly serious? What a riot
The unstated major premise of a statement like "we need to start thinking about..." is that we aren't already thinking about it. But I don't think that premise holds in this case.

See, for example, DTN, which is already being used to do real work on the ISS. There are also plans use it elsewhere, including in some future lunar missions. https://www.nasa.gov/communicating-with-missions/delay-disru...
Given that you need monumental amounts of compute power to come close to something like GPT-4, I don't think the added costs of not treading on people's IP is the major moat that it's being made out to be.
Agree with the insights in your comment about biometrics != security, but I'd like to take a moment to nitpick a slight inaccuracy-- Asian faces don't actually look similar to each other, but they do look similar to a person/model that has been trained mostly on white faces. If the facial recognition model had been trained predominantly on Asian faces, then white faces would look similar to each other instead.

Reminder that the outputs of AI don't reflect some deeper truth about reality, just an extrapolation of the training data. Garbage in, garbage out.
Lol. If there was no law against tripling the price of rent at random I would be putting properties to rent as well. Also, they are boasting about 800 units in a city like buenos aires. What a joke.

Java is “statically typed” amd has the same issues during runtime with different JVM versions.
The value of advice is largely estimated based on who gives it. If a client is hiring me, it seems clear to me that they're paying for mine.

For support tasks (like research or even supporting a writeup) I'm not ethically opposed to using LLMs. It's just that I try every couple of months and conclude it's not a net improvement. Your mileage may vary of course.
I mean, they ARE putting their money where their mouth is

They pay existing employees less, and new employees, more. If a whole team quits, a replacement will be more expensive. That's the state of the game!
What do you use or recommend for tiling?
Musk's play here seems to be:

1. I'm working on exicting new AI tech

2. Pay me to keep this tech under Tesla or else I'll stick it somewhere else.

Where this falls flat for me is that Musk is well known to over-promise and under-deliver (where are those fleets of self driving tesla's making passive income for thier owners through autonomous ride share??).

I think this is a ploy to regain a larger stake in Telsa after he sold off a bunch of his stock to buy Twitter. If he had some brilliant idea for AI tech then it wouldn't make a difference to him whether it was housed under Tesla or with another company he runs, as he would profit either way. But he probably knows the idea will probably not pan out and is trying to hedge that uncertainty by asking for shares of Tesla.
> Using C++23 standard library, alongside modules, and cargo/vcpkg binary caches for 3rd party libs is quite fast.

I don't think your assertion makes sense. The only thing that conan/vcpkg brings to C++ is precompiled dependencies which you don't have to build yourself. You get the same result if you build those libs yourself, packaged them in a zip file somewhere, and unpacked that zip file in your project tree whenever you had to bootstrap a build environment. The problems that conan/vcpkg solve are not build times or even C++, they are tied to the way you chose to structure your project.

With C++, you get a far greater speedup if you onboard a compiler cache tool like ccache and organize your project around modules that don't needlessly cause others to recompile whever the are touched.
All agree it's a problem, but from these discussions it's not clear how serious it is on a per capita basis. If it's just an incident or two in millions then perhaps the problem isn't as bad as it's being made out to be (despite my multiple posts here about the matter and its dangers).

Look at it this way: all of these chlorinated hydrocarbons are highly volatile solvents, it only requires a few minutes in air for the solvents to evaporate. Similarly, liquid residue solvents in hidden away places such as in tubes etc. will be vaporized to gas with just a little heat and then forced out of the tubes leaving only a minuscule amount of remaining vapor. That should be the situation long before the solvents are broken down by the heat.

It would be informative to know the exact circumstances in the cases where phosgene was generated to the extent of causing injury. From my own experience in cleaning stuff with volatiles and then applying heat such as welding, I have difficulty in seeing how sufficient phosgene would be generated to cause harm.

I say that as someone who, when young, suffered a minor degree of cyanide (HCN) poisoning when doing photograpic processing in a sealed-off bathroom without ventilation, so since then I've been highly attuned to situations where toxic gasses are likely to build up (I previously mentioned this incident on HN ages ago).

Another incident: while not quite as dangerous as escaped phosgene, I had a vaguely similar incident when moving an old refrigerator sealed unit inside a shipping container full of other junk that made egress rather difficult. We broke a copper tube which released copious amounts of sulfur dioxide refrigerant and we couldn't get out quickly and thus suffered the consequences without too much drama. Right, SO2 isn't phosgene but there's was a damned side more of it here than I could ever envisage chlorinated hydrocarbons remaining after cleaning brakes (and one wouldn't do that in an enclosed space such as a shipping container)!

All that said, there is absolutely no excuse for all containers of volatile cleaning agents to not have large red warnings about the potential for phosgene to be generated in the presence high heat and to do the cleaning and welding in a well ventilated place (like outdoors)—and to ensure that all fluid has fully evaporated before welding, etc.

I'm not up to date on current cleaing products but I'd be surprised if there wasn't already a warning on them. If not, then the regulators have either lost the plot or have been grossly negligent.

Not seeing how starlink can’t just put a hd and serve stuff.
Also a kagi user since they changed their pricing. The results have been decent for me for the most part, except for shopping which I still use google for. I do wish they’d step up their css game though. Maybe it’s just safari on iOS, but I get style problems constantly. The address bar doesn’t behave properly with the cursor if you type in a decently long query, and so often the search results will overflow the container horizontally. It’s a small price to pay for good search results, but stuff like that should be table stakes for a tool like this.
I'm not saying that there isn't a 15-25 demographic that follows this, but I'm also in quite a few only-met-online groups, and I'm entering middle-age. (And, of course, so are most of the other folks in the online-only groups I'm in.)

Exodus seems a bit of an overstatement. Other than spacex who else has or is planning to develop a methane engine? And other than SSME and Vulcain which other widely used engines used H2?

Ban on LLMs will lead to a proliferation of illegal LLMs who are gonna talk like Dr. Dre about the streets, the internet streets, and their bros they lost due to law regulation equivalent to gang fights. Instead of ChatGPT talking like a well educated college graduate, LLMs will turn into thugs.

So yeah, banning LLMs may turn out to be not so wise after all.

When I was responsible for resolving vulns in my previous companies' docker images, in many cases upgrading the libraries was enough to resolve the vuln.

My role, and others like me, need to get that critical vuln number down. Meaning yes, upgrading libs was enough.

My point is that it's NOT nicer to use for me.

I just instinctively did it to see my motion and it's an awkward feeling for me to move my left pinky over to the capslock key, definitely something I have to be mindful of doing to make happen and probably will take a long time for me to get used to.

Meanwhile, I actually extend my ring finger up and barely touch the escape and move it back down, all of that is very comfortable for me and I can do it without looking 100% of the time and never miss it.
You make great points. One of my law professors always said, "clear communication makes for long relationships." He was a small town lawyer that explained our job included:
- making sure both parties understood exactly what the contract meant (legally, businesswise, etc.), and
- asking the parties to talk through any issues (business, legal, etc.) that could arise and how they might want to handle the issue.

Different parties cover these two points in all sorts of ways. You're right, it doesn't necessarily make sense to hire an attorney when the parties are on equal footing, experienced, clearly understand each other's duties, and don't really disagree on how to proceed should an issue arise.

It's kind of like hiring a designer/firm for a website. Some will overcharge for a Wordpress template or they might charge big fees to give you a robust solution that is extreme overkill for your application. But, if you find the right designer/attorney, they will work with you to meet your financial and business needs. That seems to be the hardest part.
If a device is already IoT, that diminishes the value-add of TinyML. Just send all the data home and run inference there, at greater efficiency and with the possibility to find other revenue streams for that data.

Or the other way around, if a device uses TinyML there's less reason to make it IoT, and the people who appreciate TinyML are probably exactly those who oppose IoT.
Maybe it’s obvious there is no use for a long time, putting that stuff in space is pure stunt
Much obliged!

I agree, I think this puzzle piece have been missing in the indiehacker community. Sure, it's great with Indiehackers, Betalist and Producthunt, but what about second breakf.. I mean when you only have an idea and need input and validation? Everyone don't feel like spending time thinking about a fancy domain name and then designing a landing page and then it's in the dumpster a week later.

Also, solo-indiehacker projects don't go to crowdfunding platforms because (personally speaking) they are bootstrapped and that's the way it should be.

Of course, later "castles" like Schloss Neuschwanstein were dedicated showpieces. I think the argument is about whether nobles built such purely representational castles already in the, let's call it Castle Age. But I'd argue that such usage only became common when nobles started to centralize their power to turn their fiefs into proper states.

Conclusion

Nuclear is the safest source of energy:

It has the least deaths per TWh produced.

It has few accidents.

When it does have accidents, few people die (except in Chernobyl, where up to 400 of them did).

Accidents don’t make huge swaths of land unlivable, only a tiny portion, and only for some time.

Terrorism is nearly impossible, and the risk not much worse than with other sources of energy.

Nuclear energy is not needed to develop nuclear weapons, and also doesn’t help that much.

Nuclear is the best source of electricity for the environment:

It emits the least CO2 per TWh produced.

It uses the least land.

It generates no pollution.

It generates little waste.

Most of that waste is not very radioactive at all.

The little that is radioactive is so little it can be kept in pools until we start reusing it as fuel. If we feel strongly about it we can always bury it.

Nuclear is the most dependable source of energy, and will last us until the end of the Earth. There’s plenty of uranium everywhere, and we’ve barely started looking for it. If needed, in the future we could get it from the sea, reuse 95% of the fuel which today we consider waste, or use Thorium.

Nuclear is the most reliable source of energy:

Lots of uranium comes from stable countries, and if needed, it could come from yet other places.

We can use it to produce electricity whenever we want.

Nuclear promotes political stability:

Fewer wars for resources.

Bigger strategic reserves.

More energy independence.

We can build nuclear plants nearly anywhere.

It reduces trade deficits.

It reduces energy price changes.

Nuclear can be the cheapest source of electricity:

It already is in some places, including South Korea. It’s quite cheap in other countries, like Japan and France.

The key is to reduce its building costs and time, which are so high in the US due mostly to the increase in safety regulation from the last few decades, and the industry’s resulting shrinkage.

The increases in cost due to regulation have been incurred and processed. Future plants should not be as expensive if we start ramping up the number of reactors we build.

We should also be realistic when making models: Account for storage costs or CO2, acknowledge that nuclear plants can work for over six decades, etc.
NSA are purple team (both red team and blue team), so they do defense aswell as offense. They need to sniff plaintext aswell as protect their own infra and IP with strong crypto standards like AES. The public also benefits from AES, often to the detriment of SIGINT efforts by the NSA, so there are caveats to this, and it's nuanced.

> Wouldn't all those examples also work just as easily with torrents/magnet-links?

My (possibly wrong) feeling is that IPFS is meant for smaller files, and torrents for bigger collections. So with the example of a package manager, you could download each individual package via IPFS, whereas a torrent would make sense if you wanted to download an archive of them all.

Not to say torrents couldn't work, but it just kinda feels like not the intended use case.

(The above feeling come from reading about IPFS a few times throughout the years and toying with it for a while).
Sure, but IPFS, the technology, doesn’t.
They’ve rearchitected the approach to incorporate neural networks alongside their existing symbolic approach, in a new design called OpenCog Hyperon. This work is currently at: http://hyperon.opencog.org. Their main wiki hasn’t been updated yet for some reason. Development is definitely active! The founder shared his thoughts on LLMs here: https://youtu.be/MVWzwIg4Adw. The TL;DR is LLMs currently do not generalize well, so they aren’t sufficient for AGI unless they end up generalizing better somehow (perhaps at scale).

I tried your platform for some experiments using an arduino and it was a breeze, and an absolute treat to work with.

My main issue with Holochain and agent-based systems is that I am the agent, but the system is built around my singular device being the agent. Now the work on linking my devices and convincing other "agents" in the system that these collections of keys represents "me" is forced back onto me.

In other words, agent-device-based identity is a crappy experience for some mixture of end-users and/or devs. Either the user has to manage muiltiple identities, or the devs have to build an ad-hoc identity systems on top of the agent-device-based system.

I think PGP got about halfway there, but falls short in a lot of ways.
