1. This is garbage, we should do better.

2. Early implementations of Britain's TPWS on railways are exactly like this. Suppose you're pulling into a terminus station and, for whatever reason, you happen to stop such that your train's sensors are right on top of the TPWS "toast rack" (basically think radio transmitter). When the next driver turns the train on, it can see a TPWS transmission. Now, it knows perfectly well it isn't moving, so we're not in some terrifying near-death scenario, and it could let you, a human train driver, sort this out by, you know, not crashing the train into the station buffers. Nope, in v1.0 the firmware just considers starting in this situation to be a fatal error and won't let you move at all, the only authorised solution is to get rid of any passengers who've boarded your train, switch the train into it's (unsafe for passenger service) maintenance mode, drive it away from the beacons a few yards, stop, turn off the power, and then reboot the computer where it now can't see a troubling TPWS transmitter and now it's a working train again.
Maybe a case of reused allocated memory and just writing chunks of memory to disk. Simplistic example:

struct blah_block{
int sz;
char buf[510];
}
Like many others, you seem to not really grasp how IPFS works. Nothing gets distributed automatically.

Besides, how on earth is your argument even relevant when we're talking about content-addressing as a whole, without involving IPFS at all?

The person who imaged the disks commented on this video exploring 86-DOS 0.11: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zd7T5euID1E

(It's a neat video by the way – he shows how 86-DOS would be used in that state back then by creating a Z80 "Hello World" program in CP-M, copying it over with RDCPM, translating it to 8086 assembly with TRANS, tweaking the source with EDLIN, assembling with ASM and HEX2BIN, and running it.)

12-23% is pretty easy, and includes some very prominent present-day cities. Detroit lost about 2/3 of its population between 1950 and today. Pittsburgh lost about 60%. St. Louis lost 65%. Buffalo lost 53%, Cincinnati and Baltimore around 40%.

Ghost towns are rarer, and it doesn't usually happen to major cities that have national recognition. There's a good list [1] on Wikipedia. tl;dr: they number in the hundreds, easily, but are largely small towns that you wouldn't have heard of unless you lived locally.

this blew my mind. all people are arguing whether rust is a good fit, a strike force, or if a game is a good benchmark. the whole point of this is that one guy can write a scheduler during winter break and friggin hot swap it at runtime while a compile and a game can run. this is the newsworthy part.

There's a 1785 entry in the betting book for Brooks's (a London gentlemen's club) that reads "Ld. Cholmondeley has given two guineas to Ld. Derby, to receive 500 Gs whenever his lordship fucks a woman in a Balloon one thousand yards from the Earth."

This was only two years after the first successful ballon ascent.

Very interesting theory. Here's the key point:

> Meanwhile, the growth of software corresponds to a drop in the number of required human touchpoints for a given transaction. When travel was booked by phone or in person, there was a direct financial reward to being a good conversationalist in the travel business; rhapsodizing about the beauty of a beach was a good way to upsell customers on a nicer hotel a bit closer to it, and sussing out whether someone was more interested in beaches, landmarks, or bars meant figuring out exactly what to pitch them. All this work is now silently and efficiently happening on the backend of the big online travel agencies, with no human interaction required.The pre-Internet white collar economy was basically a universal job guarantee for personable people. That's increasingly going away, to be replaced with a more neoliberal attention economy with a more extreme distribution of outcomes.

My usual theory for the increasing around of grift, particularly in politics, is that various disintermediation efforts which were in theory supposed to make government more democratic actually mean there is less incentive than ever for working hard to fix anything, but big rewards for torching the commons for your own gain.

I don't think this runs contrary to the article's thesis but actually works hand-in-hand together with it to explain why so much public life-- politics, obviously, but also academia and public intellectualism-- consists mostly of charismatic psychopaths insisting we have to "burn it all down and click here to donate to my campaign or subscribe to my Substack)" instead of offering any useful advice.

Congrats you've found an edge case.

I've spent my whole life working in "commercial" settings, I've learned everything doing that, and it's all programming. I really don't know which places you work at where a software engineer doesn't do programming. That's the whole job, 8hrs a day.

Thanks for joining us! I enjoyed studying Chapel a while back. I have a few questions about it.

Most AI in the press is done on expensive NVIDIA’s. Many papers have techniques with lower cost or higher effectiveness. Their algorithms are described in high-level form with little or limited implementation. Many in OSS and non-DL are using smaller models that can run on diverse hardware, if one has expertise to program it. It would be helpful to have a language that maps high-level techniques in papers to diverse hardware for use in training or review.

Can Chapel currently implement the concepts in papers on NN’s and LLM’s to run on multicore, clusters, and GPU’s? If so, can it implement hybrids where specific functions are GPU optimized but the overall design is split across machines? If not, what is missing for using Chapel for rapid prototyping of AI concepts?
The 9th Circuit stayed its mandate until the Supreme Court decided whether to grant cert. That stay expired this morning when the Supreme Court published its orders list.

Lots of them. “Ghost towns” is an exaggeration. But Detroit has shrunk from 1.8 million to 650,000 and that’s caused tremendous economic problems. Philadelphia has shrunk from over 2 million to about 1.5 million and is stuck in a constant state of stagnation. Chicago has shrunk from 3.6 million to 2.6 million. It’s in much better shape than the other two, but went from being the “Second City” to a one with a questionable future. Baltimore shrank from nearly a million people to under 600,000, and seems to be in a state of terminal decline. Pittsburgh almost hit 700,000, and now is less than half that. The city has enjoyed a recent resurgence due to CMU and biotech, but the prosperity is not widely shared, and the city is kind of a museum to its more prosperous heyday.
That's me! I became more interested in the topic after the Bluesky question.

> because, right here right now, that is such a hypothetical situation that I have absolutely no idea why it needs a real-world demonstration of proof of concept using currently-available technology.

So I just want to point out that IPFS was fairly deliberately designed to have numerous, forward-compatible features that could be swapped out in the future : like https://multiformats.io/ and in particular https://multiformats.io/multiaddr/ .

In the IPFS community, there's always been a fairly heated discussion about which bit of the entire system should be stuck with the term IPFS. Like, if you took away the libp2p protocol, and just served CIDs over http, would it be IPFS? What if you took away CAR files (the merkle-tree file format used to define multi-item content)? What if you're a private IPFS network, with no shared nodes with the public network (like https://github.com/TryQuiet/quiet ). What if you didn't use bitswap, the file transfer protocol (Filecoin doesn't use bitswap, and mostly doesn't interconnect with the main public IPFS network). What about if you didn't use a DHT to find providers of a CID. What if you're not using any of the "IPFS" software stack, but your implementation still uses bits and pieces of content-addressability as defined in the standard?

Interestingly, right now, there are a bunch of experiments going in all of these directions: I think it's fair to say that if you wanted to test out content-addressable networks across the solar system, they probably wouldn't be IPFS as it is now, but their nature could probably be described using the primitives the IPFS stack uses, and learning about what needs to change would give a useful direction to some part of the extended IPFS ecosystem.
Yeah we have realized the same. The 'automated' options don't cut it anymore or like don't give answers specific to your environment, that's why we are offering human expertise to have a look-through and confirm it for free at this point in our closed beta.

These days there are many work places where people don't have enough skill finding and fixing "bugs". People used to copy and paste Stack Overflow answers into the company code base until it "worked". Then if there was a problem it could sit for weeks or months with someone and then moved to another person. It's interesting because in most cases doing simple prints just to see what's going on could give a hint what to fix, but even that was too complex.
It's getting worse because if software is making money then there is further incentive to cut costs of development (hiring less experienced and cheaper engineers) and corners (let's not do TDD it's a waste of time).
UK government is addicted to big consultancies that are famous for this and they have been exploiting public sector by delivering half arsed projects (if at all) at extremely high cost while tasking cheap and inexperience labour to do the work and pocketing the rest of the money.

I’d be curious how mobility plays into that as well. The YouTubers I see often seem to be well settled in their large-enough-for-the-hobby houses. If you end up moving often, or just _feel_ like you might have to, it’s more difficult to invest time and money into it.
The solution is to limit the expense of non-contributing people in our cities. Fact of the matter is is that certain lifestyles require a certain amount of ability to produce value. No one gets upset when you say that a middle-class person can't buy a luxury automobile without greatly increasing the ability to earn, but the same principle applies to the basics as well.

Seattle and King County were spending a cumulative $100,000/year per homeless person. That's higher than the per capita income of the county. No way to sustain that in the long term. If you aren't prepared to tell high-school dropouts, drug addicts, and the lazy, that they shouldn't aim for more than an ultra-high density apodment and generic brand everything and no kids, then you can't have a high standard of living city for anyone.
Any big business lives on loans. Which is why you see, for example, retailers going bust right before Christmas - which "surely" should be the busiest and most profitable time of the year...? But to go through it you need to buy inventory, which requires loans - if you can't raise money, because the market thinks you're already in bad shape, you have to close up shop.

Most significantly-sized businesses rely on credit week-in week-out, and tend to implode very quickly if the market turns off the tap.

I like the idea.

I am not a native English speaker, so please take the following with a grain of salt - IMO the copy might need improvement.

When selling something, you want to build a mental slide on which the prospect slides effortlessly toward a clear image of your offer. Your text felt more like a rocky hillside - I had to concentrate and it was slow.

Let me give you an example:

In the realm of Indiebackers: MVP takes on a new meaning – it stands for Most Valuable Person, representing the early adopters who play a pivotal role in the development of products within our community. Indiebackers was conceived with the understanding that a significant number of startups face challenges because they overlook the importance of developing for and with the community. We believe in the idea that a full-scale launch shouldn't be a prerequisite for validating an innovative concept.

In essence, Indiebackers is a collaborative platform meticulously crafted for users to share and explore groundbreaking ideas within the community. Users seize the opportunity to present a deal in exchange for support until the development of a Minimum Viable Product (MVP). Our platform is dedicated to facilitating the seamless exchange of ideas, nurturing community engagement, and providing unwavering support for the development of viable and impactful concepts.

I think this text has an unusually high cognitive load. I had to read it a few times to get what you mean:
Dear startups, here is the deal. Tell us about your ideas, and we tell you what we think of them before you spend a bunch of money implementing them. Sounds good? Reward us with some perks. - Did I even get it right?

BTW, there's a funny scene in a Czech film most HN users wouldn't know - a dude translates a factual report into marketing speak by adding a lot of adjectives. Your copy reminds me of that scene - it's not just "support", but "unwavering support", not just "crafted" but "meticulously crafted" etc. - it sounds too 'marketingy'.

Just my $0.02

Good luck!

> I am more than prepared to admit that I may not be seeing (for various reasons) the evidence that this is near/possible - but I would also claim that nobody is convincingly showing any either.

If I understand you correctly, then (1) you doubt that AGI systems are possible and (2) even if they are possible, you believe that humans are still very far away from developing one.

The following is an argument for the possibility of AGI systems.

Premise 1: Human brains are generally intelligent.
Premise 2: If humans brains are generally intelligent, then software simulations of human brains at the level of inter-neuron dynamics are generally intelligent.
Conclusion: Software simulations of human brains at the level of inter-neuron dynamics are generally intelligent.

(fyi I believe there is an ~82% chance humans will develop an AGI within the next 30 years.)
I really wish mdn samples showed output. As is semi-typical, the examples show console.log of the results, but no sample output is provided.

My favorite is not filling buffers before sending the packet and then everything with a crappy internet connection (dropped packets + high latency = TCP retransmissions) is suddenly doing 120kps because you're only sending 50 byte packets and every 10th one is getting lost.

What you're describing is actually more like what Gay did. Oxman was caught copying from Wikipedia without any attribution.

If you look at the supposed examples of Gay's plagiarism, she cites the works she's using. Most of the examples are of the form, "As John Smith writes, a dog can often be a man's best friend (Smith 1990)." Then you look at Smith (1990), and you find something like, "A dog is often a man's best friend." Gay's mistake was leaving out quotation marks when she paraphrased too closely. It's not really plagiarism in spirit, because she's obviously not passing off anyone else's work as her own, but it could run afoul of the rules.
