> We already have a test for this. Parrots, octopus, whales and many other creatures are also diverse. But our problems are beyond their experience. Do we value their diversity as thinkers in our economy?

> We don't.

I don't mean humans as they presently are, but humans as somewhat-novel GAI entities after upgrading (and humans as an ongoing source: likely there will be some humans that aren't interested in changing themselves in such ways, but who might change their mind over time and/or have children who see things differently).

> (I am speaking in economic terms. We can deeply intensely highly "value" many things, but if we don't actually invest economic value in protecting or nuturing those things, our appreciation has little or no impact.)

I don't think this is true. For example, suppose you deeply value a bunch of things that you don't think have much economic significance, but economic significance is the most important thing to your perspective / philosophy, so you don't take care of the things that you deeply value. This does have a significant impact: you become sad, you become depressed, you become less economically productive. So then you say, oh, I'll just take care of those other things I care about, and then I can be economically productive! So you make a few changes but then find yourself feeling down again not long afterwards because economic value is the cornerstone of how you think about things. And then you realize that from an economic perspective, it's more beneficial economically to stick with a perspective that embraces your values as you discern them (and how those continue developing over time) rather than sticking with a perspective that puts economic value first. And then you are taking your first steps to freedom from the curse of your Bachelor's in Economics. ;)

Ethical GAIs also seem likely to me ... hopefully.
This is his user name on hacker news, why it's a problem to use it here ?
So, you agree with the GP but also think it's a conspiracy that brands care about their brand perception?

You may ot even be wrong about "peer pressure", but that's how so much of the rest of the world works. Part of the downturn isnt based on economic logic but peer pressure: "BigCo is sizing down so we should too!". The aforementioned brand perception is the exact same way, but based on the consumers over the company. The Stock market as a whole is literally based on speculation.

As long as stuff is run by peoople, people will influence other people to make decisions based more on gut feelings than raw facts.
More graft/kick back opporunities. Also a billion dollars? Seems unlikely considering scale of typical Hugo (as far as I'm aware).
I think that's just like one C++ application being faster than another equivalent C++ application due to using smarter data structures and whatnot.

VS Code and Atom have different code bases with different decisions and that makes a difference despite them both using Electron and JS. (Hopefully I have understood your question properly.)

Right wing is broadly more about preserving tradition, not opposing change of any kind. If a change doesn’t conflict with a cultural tradition, opposing the change isn’t necessarily right wing IMO.
Grace literally means to bless without deserving. I think you're being too rigid in your thought process.
Local chapters of the Sierra Club still routinely oppose many types of infill housing development.

I believe the national org is now YIMBY and most chapters are, but there are certainly many progressive/environmental orgs that have blocked construction for decades.

Sure, but there's video streaming, server to server long polling bidirectional channels, IOT sensors and all sorts of other things you probably use every day that can really benefit from HTTP3/quic.
Specific models have a style, ChatGPT has a style, Llama has a style, but there's nothing about the technique that has a style. If you run any of the vast variants emerging out there and tweak the sampling you can get absolutely wildly creative and divergent tones. Each model does seem to have a personality, but with fine tuning you can get one to write in any style you want.
Where is this state where you have the right to self defense? From what I can gather, the police can generally execute and otherwise harm commonfolk with impunity nation wide. Some states let you buy more equipment to go out in a blaze of glory with, but that's a pretty poor consolation prize.
And you're the lucky one getting the chance to kernel panic with ROCm. AMD drops ROCm support for their consumer GPUs so fast it'll make your head spin. I bought my GPU for $230 in 2020 and by 2021 AMD had dropped support for it. Just a bit under 4 years after the card's release on market.
Not at all. Very reasonable would be if they asked you:

- Only if you explicitly consent we will store your code or parts of your code on our servers.

- Only if you explicitly consent we will read your code for improving our product.

- Otherwise your code will never be stored on our servers. Data may reside in memory during sessions, but will never be stored.

The issue is that you when using Zed you implicitly agree that they store and use your code the moment you use the flagship feature of the editor.

It's their product, they can do whatever they want. But this behavior is a big red flag for me.
People in China are neither wholly responsible for the actions of their state nor are they wholly separate and apart from it. The state and its people in any society that isn't tearing itself apart reflect one another and share many values. If you don't want your association to be infected by the spirit of self censorship and propriety shared by a 1.4 billion people you can't simultaneously allow them to vote on where to hold the conference or how. You need to settle on a set of rules that isn't up for vote like not holding it in dictatorships or countries without meaningful freedom of speech and press.

What about all the people who mistakenly call it ChatGTP? (and yes I have heard this more than once in real life). I assume this is also the origin of the HN user with the same name.
It’s part of the dirty little secret of why document databases and other NoSQL systems became popular.

Applying Grease to TLS Extensibility (2016)
Actually I think your first idea is more likely. I don't think the FCC would be concerned about a short gap in a song, or a pause in conversation, or a silent part of a live performance, etc.

But commercial program directors are neurotic beasts. And listeners can definitely be fickle!

One story I've heard is that PDs obsess over car listeners, who are punching "seek" (or a different preset) at the slightest provocation. They believed that a couple-second silent gap in a song would lose X listeners. They might have even had data to back it up.

I've seen song gaps trimmed, or filled with a quick station ID. Philistines!
I've lived my entire life in urban cities of different countries, and I don't think I can agree. My quality of life would be dropped significantly if I had to move to a suburban or less dense city. It's a game of priorities and balance:

- Space wise, I definitely don't need more than 2 bedroom apartment to myself. I don't think I would get a bigger place unless I partnered up or something.

- Especially white collar jobs are within the city, so living in a city decreases your commute time. My longest commute in the past was 20 minutes from door-to-door back in 2016. After that, it was about 15 minute walk, or under-10 minute bike ride

- Energy and pollution per capita decreases just because of economies of scale to my understanding

- Babies per-capita, I guess kinda decreases. But that's mostly North American thing, I would say. I've known a lot of people who grew up in very urbanized European cities. It's just times are different and people are having less babies, rather than "apartments not letting people have babies"

- Crime per-capita, I guess increases. But alas, I don't care, really not a big problem where I live (relatively speaking)

- I will add one big con though to your list - we have forgotten in North America how to build functional cities. And unfortunately, it shows. There's a resurgence in the past 10 years in urban planning and etc., but we'll see how it goes. In some cities, urban cleanliness, public infrastructure, and city culture is lacking.

Now if you start adding actual pros that can't be replicated in less dense areas because of not having enough people:

- Never have to drive anywhere, unless I'm going outside of the city like camping or something

- Get to mingle with other people easily. I have a few friends living in the same neighbourhood, so a simple "wanna grab ramen in an hour?" message in a group chat ends up with a meet up

- 3 proper grocery stores within 5 minute distance from me. And a downtown Costco 15 minute walk away

That being said, I really wish we were able to design our cities to be full of 5-10 story buildings, rather than towers that we're building in specific pockets of lands. I understand that's the only way we can do it from zoning perspective in my city, but it just sucks, cause we could do so much better by just copying what other countries are doing.
I feel like Bay Area rich people don’t really live in Berkeley. Maybe they used to?
They address this in the article.

> All density limits for the R-1, R-2 and R-1A zones have been removed. Any number of homes can be built, provided the building does not exceed 3 stories, with a 4 foot side or rear setback and 15-20 foot front yards. In practice, this will allow about 6 to 10 homes on most city parcels.

> Allow 60% of a parcel to be developed, up from the 30 - 45% standard. No floor area ratio requirements.

> No parking is required per the city’s climate change anti-driving policy.

The article also mentions that under the status quo most of these parcels can only see 1-2 homes.
Yeah I made this same point a few days ago on a similar topic about the use of the win95 style in SerenityOS, etc.

I remember back when NeXTstep was new, really lusting over one, but all I had was my little Atari ST.. and spending many hours writing up pretend 3d relief widgets in GFA Basic on it. We were in love with our colour palettes and the illusions they could give :-)

I loved the NeXT interface for years but it feels stylistically over the top to me now. Love the draggable menus tho.

Another GUI that had 3d relief that I feel did it really nice was Sun's OpenLook style. I used olwm as my window manager for many years. Always preferred that over Motif.
Oh I was just curious about the logistics of raising prices in Europe in order to lower them in the US; as you say, it doesn't seem so simple.

I wonder, how much does this Opdualag cost and how much benefit does it provide? My naive reading of your article seems that it adds an average of 3 months to the average patient's life? Here the math is quite simple but grim - how much would you pay for 3 more months of life?
Conservative Americans - love guns, many states have open carry. Children go through active shooter drills in kindergarten - I’m not kidding, our kiddo went through it.

They can’t handle titties or dicks though. Against porn, against prostitution. Against abortion.

It baffles my mind. How is guns freedom, but people being people and having a right to do what they see fit with their bodies if it doesn’t affect others not freedom?
Sam Altman realizes that AI era is not about software (a few hundred lines per model) or about data (it's everywhere) , but about hardware (hence nvidia rockets to the moon). He wants to compete with nvidia with easy money from UAE. It s not really trillions of dollars , but that number grabs the attention of Emiratis who like to flex their money. I don't think it's much more complicated than that

"Berkeley is already pretty dense" is a laughable statement with its single-family homes near downtown.

They use a ton of exotic materials in it to lighten it up. The obvious lightener for me is the front screen. the whole "eyesight" thing is extremely gimmicky and could have gone without on the 1.0.
Not just web sites, art, books, program code and, (coming to a website near you) videos.

Personally, it won't stop me writing books or articles, but they will be for my self-satisfaction, and I fully expect them to be sucked into some LLM in the future (regardless of copywrite) and spat out as something else.

>So, yes. The tech downturn for this group of people--the non-passionate 9-to-5ers, particularly juniors--will last for many years, and that will lead to many jumping to other careers.

1. I don't like the implication that junior = non-passionate. I'd even argue the opposite. Those new and hungry are most likely to be exploited and take whatever over the grizzled vet who's long had reality slap them in the face. There will always be non-passionate people but well: that falling passion seems to correlate quite well with the falling passion of companies to even pretend they want to better the world. Tit for tat.

2. The downturn is very much not correlated with passion. I've seen some 9-5'ers survive several rounds of layoffs and I've seen some of the hardest working engineers with almost a decade of experience slashed to the surprise of everyone. You look further in industry and you see some vets of even 15,20+ years cut. This isn't some calculated move to "drain the swamp". As usual, corporate is throwing darts on the board instead of seeing what each engineer brings to the table. If you're unlucky enough to be working on the wrong product at the wrong time (which at this point is just anything non-AI. Nothing is safe), it doesn't matter how talented you are.

The games industry is very much full of underpaid, underappreciated passion and is being hit just as hard as the rest of tech, so passion clearly isn't the answer to job security.
Many people are on Chinese payroll. I came across many news (including big outlets) articles giving a free pass to CCP or parroting them. The same people expect support from us when they need help to fight CCP
That selection criterion means there is some continuity and persistent organization.

Pretty much.

You emphasized “all” to imply there are so many, but honestly I can’t think of much beyond what they’re already mitigating to comply with the DMA.

You’ll get a browser selection screen now, other engines will be allowed, default browser choice gets further expanded in terms of implementation so it essentially ensures you never have to touch Safari.

The only thing that is being torn out is PWA installation on Home Screen because it would be yet another significant architectural change that comes with some significant engineering effort during a time of crunch, when the install rate of PWAs is abysmal as it is, even on other OSs.

Seems fair to me.
I mean, cleaning up the streets gets a lot easier when there isn't as much homelessness, reducing homelessness only happens when you add more homes and reduce overcrowding.

In addition, new homes pay 2024 market rate property taxes, which the city can reinvest in things like garbage cans and street sweepers.
After I implemented it, I really got the feeling that I should have started with Direct3D 12.

> San Francisco freeway revolts of 1959 and 1964 were early examples of this

We should all be grateful for those. The proposals to put freeways across SF would have ruined the city. Similar freeway construction did ruin other cities all over the USA, and was especially horrible for working-class neighborhoods that got bulldozed in the name of "progress" (i.e. the convenience of unsustainable car commuters from the suburbs).
I tend to have a preflight script which is run prior to the final docker command. This let's the layers have the cached weights & avoids dealing with downloading or making changes to the codebase for loading downloaded weights. Would shave off 10s from both providers.
The Hollywood Reporter ran an article about it:

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/toky...

Though he's disputed it.

His problems with National Geographic are telling... the same year he's unable to produce any connections for their show, he's got close enough connections to "high-ranking gangster bosses" to write an article where he purportedly has them play and discuss the video game Yakuza 3:

https://web.archive.org/web/20110214054056/https://boingboin...

(side note: this article describes him playing this game with these guys "one Thursday afternoon," having a teenager teach them to play a video game, having three separate people play this single-player game while discussing it, one of whom finishes it despite an average main story playtime of over 16 hours)
> It is not what OpenAI’s non-profit mission looks like

Old news. OpenAI's "mission" has been dead since the board debacle. It's just another $$ chasing "sell my soul" tech company now.
No, obese is not the only form of “unhealthy” but the picture at the top of the article is a picture of an obese dude stuffing his face with pizza, and the article makes reference to things like weight loss. So, it’s not shocking that people would draw a link between the two and think that the article might be directed towards obesity related unhealthy, rather than say something more like substance abuse unhealthy.

And I wonder if that’s a result of an unconscious bias because what is perceived as attitudes towards eating and exercise related choices, are seen more so as just that, choices. Where as issues relating to something unhealthy like substance abuse is seen as something people have less personal choice over.

We're hackers, we solve things with hacks.

But to answer your question, you'd let it be known that whatever happened on stage was a sham, and that the actual award goes to whoever was indicated by whatever consensus process was happening between the devices carried by the people at the event.

But you'd let it be known after the event, so no arrests, but the signal would propagate widely enough that the state couldn't use disinformation to confuse the situation. A decisive winner, against the state's wishes.

The message would be:

> we can make aggregate decisions without your interference

Which should sound like a bit of a threat coming from people living under the CCP. If you can coordinate an award against the wishes of your oppressor, you can coordinate less innocent things too.
Greed and feeble cowardice enable it while denying creativity and freedom.
It's fairly easy to establish priority for those who care and are willing to search. This could be as simple as posting to a social media account on a server where you don't have admin access and can't fake the date.

And what do you say to those who point out that Apple has invested significantly in supporting PWAs the last 4 years or so?

To the point that PWA support matches, and in some cases surpasses, Firefox with more on the way as we speak?

Doesn’t that run counter to this theory that Apple is purposefully making PWAs unviable to the benefit of their App Store?
Why take away the biggest hurdles that PWAs had on iOS if that was the goal?

Sad to me that more and more money, time and resources are being poured into AI. Meanwhile, the real, non-artificial form seems more and more expendable.

What does it say about humanity in that we (or those in charge of allocating resources) are willing to invest billions in AI but not in education for naturally occurring intelligence?

Do we really want to live in a world where machines are more creative, intelligent and articulate? I thought machines were supposed to do the jobs no one wants to do, but that doesn’t really seem to be how this is all playing out.
