We've slowly been baking more and more logic into the AI nodes to make them easier to use. Adding categorizer and scorers instead of forcing people to define their own functions was a game changer. Definitely the direction we want to head in, thanks for the suggestion.

I do agree with the pin-operator, after more thought. I actually think it's good, it's just the rebinding that I don't like.

I understand the argument for rebinding, as an Erlang developer I have to deal with not having it all the time. I guess I don't really see it as that big of a deal to have to use more variable names. The way I see it, if you're transforming something, it's fine for it to have a different name. I haven't used elixir, but I would guess pipelining covers 95% of the time that rebinding would be wanted, and the other 5% of the time I think I would prefer not to have it, but it's really just nitpicking, it's not too big of a deal.
In my observations in my state, the "who gets there first goes first" is very much not confusing. What seems to confuse people is that with ties, people forget if the rule is the person to the right goes first, or to the left. So in practice, this tends to be negotiated using hand signals.

It's the org chart. Google doesn't have a centralized marketing department that governs all of the company's products. Marketing is handled at the PA level (or sometimes even lower).

Likewise for engineering, Google is organized into Product Areas (Geo, Search, Cloud, etc.), which also explains why one product would get some feature that would really make sense integrated into another... but it never happens.

Google is exceptionally good at making its products be near-perfectly reflective of its internal organization scheme. So reflective you can brush your teeth with it.

I'm often a broken record about this on HN - but IMO the PA organizational structure is a strong inhibitor to Google's success and ability to create coherent suites of products.

Well so objectively no life is worth protecting or what do you want to say?

Or maximization of pleasure?

There is no "objective" answer to ethics.

But yes, if we want to base it on empathy, it would mean XY... so many philosophical arguments have been made about this. But it stands there is no "objective" ethics, at least to my knowledge.

Without even involving animals, there's not even a definite way how to answer the trolley problem without violating my subjective ethical values.

Human life as an ulterior value seems to be the best bet for explaining rational ethics.

It does, unless your interest is in justifying the breaking of law and abuse of powers.

These people were granted amazing powers, are paid from taxes, and yet somehow it's too much to expect that they'd have an ounce of respect for the law and the privacy of their supposed fellow citizens. Unscrupulous individuals who work overtime to figure out ways to abuse their powers.

And it really is unfathomable to me how it's possible for someone to be an agent of government, knowing you're responsible for being that for which no one nowhere should trust their government with any powers, and somehow still being able to go about your daily activities without your conscience tearing you into pieces. Impossible to say enough bad things about these specimens.

I had to unwillingly sell my m1 MacBook Pro months ago because finding work has been a struggle and it came down to selling anything of value.

The only compute I had after that was an old thinkpad x270, dual core with 8gb memory.

I ran Debian with kde for awhile, but I like the macOS workflows and key bindings too much. I like the quality polished native apps folks build. I like homebrew casks, etc. It’s running opencore and Sonoma right now. For me, it was a way to get the OS I am productive in while no longer being able to afford the expensive hardware.

I fear that with Apple making their own arm chips now, hackintoshes are on numbered days. It’s only a matter of time before the OS no longer runs on x86_64 and they are already starting to drop support here and there.

Even gzip will store lots of zeros in a tiny, tiny space.

If a region of space isn't observed, it's a big fat load of null. If it is observed up close, whatever persistent storage you use for that space can be wiped, when the observer ceases to exist.

Even now, when we observe close planetary systems, it isn't as if we are looking at all the atoms. We certainly aren't observing all the space on the planets. It's all mega fuzzy, and be therefore a fuzzy property. An approximation.

But of the observer population spikes, then too much would be observed and active at once... crash!
Can entities inside the simulation get info about your CPU architecture?

(From HAKMEM):

Item 154 (Bill Gosper): The myth that any given programming language is machine independent is easily exploded by computing the sum of powers of 2. If the result loops with period = 1 with sign +, you are on a sign-magnitude machine. If the result loops with period = 1 at -1, you are on a twos-complement machine. If the result loops with period greater than 1, including the beginning, you are on a ones-complement machine. If the result loops with period greater than 1, not including the beginning, your machine isn't binary -- the pattern should tell you the base. If you run out of memory, you are on a string or bignum system. If arithmetic overflow is a fatal error, some fascist pig with a read-only mind is trying to enforce machine independence. But the very ability to trap overflow is machine dependent. By this strategy, consider the universe, or, more precisely, algebra: Let X = the sum of many powers of 2 = ...111111 (base 2). Now add X to itself: X + X = ...111110. Thus, 2X = X - 1, so X = -1. Therefore algebra is run on a machine (the universe) that is two's-complement.

If someone is blocked by my doing, they would have already told me 23.5 hours[1] before the scheduled meeting came around, when they became blocked. I don't need to hear it a second time. If it has nothing to do with me, I don't care. What's the point?

Nice work! This doesn’t hold for all school districts. Some, like New Orleans post Katrina, became all-charter districts such that each school essentially operated as its own district. Other districts serve only elementary school students (as opposed to “Unified” districts). Just heads up that there are edge cases.
I believe it went something like:

2023: PaLM2
Late 2023: Gemini

It probably would have been clearer if they used simple numerical versioning like OpenAI's GPT-{2,3,3.5,3}. I suppose the idea is to do that with Gemini now.

iTunes started as a free utility for organizing and playing mp3s for mac users, then Windows support was added. For the first few years you couldn't even spend money on it if you wanted, then they added the iTunes store without removing any functionality, and still charged nothing.

> Why was this even necessary? Firefox has always been an undervalued asset at Mozilla. They sat on it and seem to have barely invested enough effort to make it decent enough to compete with Chrome.

It's necessary because Firefox doesn't make money.

>Apple is doing it for iOS, Google is doing it for Android. I still don't understand why Mozilla couldn't see itself sharing this cake with Firefox when it had 30%+ market share.

Mozilla's browser development is funded almost entirely by Google. If Mozilla had stepped up to become a real competitor, Google would have shut off the money, and Firefox would have just died. Google sells ads. Apple sells hardware. Mozilla doesn't sell anything. If they want to be independent and compete, they need independent income.

What? These are the easiest products ever. Compared to the crap that every other company generates. Like the Pixel 6 vs 6 pro vs 6a vs “Fold (no number)”

The iPhone is literally just iPhone <Number> with Pro for high end, or no modifier for low end. Add “max” for big screen. The only confusion maybe is “max” isn’t obviously referring to screen size.

iPhone 15, 15 Pro, 15 max, iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Macs are the same way. I don’t think it’s fair to say it’s confusing that “M3” processor has different specs than “M2” processor.

Beyond that, Mac laptops are Pro vs Air, defining how powerful vs portable they are with associated screen size variant 14, 16 and 13,15.

Not all "intelligent" animals are very social. Adult ravens, for example, tend to prefer being solo or at most in mated pairs (not a hard rule). Hell, many humans prefer being alone much of the time.

I think it's a demonstration of who is 'inside' and who is 'outside'. On HN, if you talk about racism or issues with white males, you get chased away - those are the people here, on the inside.

If you talk about women or Muslims, for example, they are objects of examination - what are they like? what do they do? They aren't participants, mostly; you don't have a lot of women and Muslims posting about it - think about it: if we want to know about Islam, why don't we listen to Muslims, who would actually know from a lifetime of direct experience? What we see is mostly from the perspective of someone looking at Muslims - they are on the outside. A predictable result of the ignorance is stereotypes and prejudice. And even prejudiced and hateful ideas are treated as 'curiosity' - the curiosity of (mostly) white males. Nobody is curious about racism or sexism, for example.

My sense is that what I see on HN, maybe unconciously, is moderated to accomodate the insiders.

>Is it relevantly different here if you’re being dreamed in the mind of God or being executed in Python?

Yes. Simulations have limitations.

Think about Conway's Game of Life. You have complete control over the simulation - you determine the starting positions and you can mess with its memory while it's running to alter the current state. However, you cannot always predict what the end result of the simulation is without actually simulating it. In a general case, the end result of the simulation is unknowable until you run the simulation.

If the universe is a simulation then I think it's likely that it would be a simulation like Conway's Game of Life. It will have some limitations that even the creator couldn't know to control. This is quite different from what the Christian god is treated as.

Of course, it could be that the greater universe does not suffer from mathematical problems like the incompleteness theorem or the halting problem. But that would be something very difficult to imagine.
Let it crash is just the start of the process, really. Write the happy path, with pattern matching so that if things failed, it does crash, like ok = do_the_thing(). You're also expected to monitor crash reports and (live) update the system to handle crashes that need more specific handling than a simple restart.

In a distributed system you always need to handle the case where you sent a request and didn't get a response and the request may or may not have been processed. Once you accept that, it's totally reasonable for the request processor to crash during a request, because the requester always needs to be know what to do in case they get no response or a non-specific error.

I agree. Why should I care that this exists? Does it correct a flaw in zig / rust / C / Nim / Dmd? Does it explore the space of programming languages? (And if so, what’s actually new about it?). Or is it a way for the author to noodle around with their own programming language?

I have no objection to any of those goals. But it would be nice if the author were clear about what they’re doing with the project.
