Don't stop there;

* how many resources will they still consume after being replaced by AI,

* is AI just more resource consumption on top,

* will the people replaced be deported to "elsewhere", converted to Soylent Green, or supported by UBI funded by an AI tax?

Never go ankle deep in these questions.
No he wasn’t
I somehow doubt that the audience that's going to make Twitter money with subscriptions or advertisers are Nazis, MAGA, Crypto Bros, and OF performers. But you do you.
I strongly disagree with this comparison but I’m having a hard time putting my finger on why.

Part of it is that all current AI generated imagery is an imitation of something, but an imitation that doesn’t and can’t follow the rules of the original or understand the meaning of the original. It’s fake.

Nature feels like the opposite. It’s real and brutal and, for living things, it is driven by millions of years of evolution. It’s entirely grounded in the physical laws of our universe.
Ah I see. As we evolve our understanding and toolset of certain fields in math, we may serendipitously happen upon approaches to solve existing problems or solve future ones, perhaps.
"The system" for you and me, not the system for those at the top. They'll maintain their wealth.

You're presuming the rich care about "the system". That they have morals or ethics. They do not.
The author is missing a key understanding of how computers operate and any thesis that the human language is illogical to the computer system misses the point.

Logical and confusing are two different concepts and I’ll leave it to the reader to ponder why.
Not just giving a display port of some sort seems like such a mistake given that there's already the battery cord/pack and that the virtual display latency is so bad.
This sounds stupid. And that lofty $5B target. Surely Meta don't want Reddit threads at this point? Then there's only one outlier within social media I can think of that is as silly as this and wants the kind of content and tone of Reddit. It's about X and Grok, isn't it?
You hit the nail on the head. They're highlighting his flaws to make it so his "passing" wasn't really that bad.

It's why he's being compared to Putin. It's a typical Russian tactic: you can't make Putin seem like an angel, but you can portray everybody as corrupt. Make them think that "everybody is the same" and the indifference is more powerful than repression because most people won't even revolt.
Its because the stakes have fallen just that low. Its a chat bot we are talking about. Those have been terrible since forever. Retooling your junk tool with the new popular junk tool at least signals to your shareholders you are willing to keep up with the joneses on the latest stupid thing, without much risk to your actual product at least not yet.
I wonder if other governments could even execute these types of campaigns on the Chinese internet. My sense is if I went on Sina Weibo and started posting weird stuff about politics the account would get shut down quite quickly.
Well they have no intention of doing that now.
A Sync is a push+pull, changing branches is graphical.
Rephrasing for people who will react negatively to that. You're making an important point but "dog whistle" assumes some things:

Those are people speaking abstractly about how much more free their speech is*.

I've never heard that common phrasing used, in any setting, to refer to a change in Twitter user makeup, or it becoming a kinder place. Whether I'm in the company of team left or team right, and coding as same team or opposite team.

* yr humble author refuses comment and does not endorse this viewpoint, or that anything changed on this front
Indeed. Based on the adverts I am shown, Facebook thinks I'm a meat loving American from Florida who moved to the town of Waterlooville in the UK, who enjoys gambling on horse races, owns a dog, and works in graphic design; when I am actually a vegetarian Brit who moved to Berlin, is bored by spectator sports, who has never owned any pet, and who works as a software developer.

Whoever paid money to show me those ads, wasted it.
Well yeah that’s common sense but it hasn’t prevented that exact reason being behind all economic collapse (bleeding the host too fast, too greedily).
In this case, it sounds like GP is using a private garbage collection service because their municipality does not provide garbage collection services (as is common in rural areas).

One would expect that the costs in that situation are likely to be more representative of the actual cost to dispose of the material, as the company can't obscure its economic reality with taxes.

>Reduce Reuse Recycle in that order. Big plastic really wants you to ignore the first two.

I really miss this marketing. It made so much more sense than what is happening today.
The line has been defined a long time ago, AI chat bots are considered regular customer service agents because no law has said otherwise, and they represent themselves as such, and we already know that reasonable things said by customer service agents can be taken as fact.
...and, for laptop users, cover your trackpad as well.
> At the end of the day, I don't think it's any more unacceptable that cybertruck owners need to hit their truck with some scotchbrite to remove tiny rust specs than it is unacceptable that toyota owners need to hit their hood with some touch up paint to remove tiny paint chips.

I'd argue both are unacceptable, and sure enough you'll find plenty of complaints from owners with chipped paint.

The difference is, the rust issue was predictable.

> Because selling the car is part of the design requirements.

> it is an inherent requirement to selling cars in volume

Let's not kid ourselves here - it's a Tesla truck and it would have sold in similar numbers even if it didn't look like something out of a video game. It may have actually sold better if it's design wasn't so divisive...

The reality is a bunch of people are buying/have bought this particular vehicle expecting luxury/premium and instead are being surprised by rust. Hence... the negative PR.
That just redirects to an FAQ page with instructions like "If you get X error, then..."

There is no error, it just redirects me.

Fail.
Ah! I do see your more subtle point now, and I think it's a reasonable one.

It reminds me of the common writing advice to not hedge statements with a lot of "I think" and "I believe", because that's redundant, if it wasn't what you think, then you wouldn't be writing it, and it weakens statements, making it sound like the writer lacks conviction in the statement, and if you lack conviction in what you're writing then you definitely shouldn't write it.

That has always sounded right to me, but in the final accounting, I'm skeptical of it. Certainty just isn't all that natural, ambivalence is common, and I think hedging captures that reality more accurately in the tone of the writing.

And I think this case is the same. That paragraph is acknowledging a reality that many or most people reading the article will know, to the point that omitting any mention of it at all will seem notable. I think it is relatable and tactful to say "I know this isn't a popular view, but I care about it so here goes anyway". It doesn't imply that they are writing in order to offend. It only implies that they are aware of the situation.

I don't really get the thing about whether or not it impacts the credence with which you should take the opinions of the author... And frankly, I don't think it is the important thing; the important thing is the argument they are making. But FWIW, if it were the important thing, this particular author has an enormous amount of credibility in the space of working on a successful open source project...
I do believe it is worth doing in and of itself. So my question is not trying to get a gotcha if not supplied with a practical application. I think I could certainly improve my intuition in theoretical math fields.
I done testing here and I have seen hallucinations for all of it. It’s not that reliable.
Windows headers like uppercase. They also like very explicit types, as far as the language accepts them, of course. For example, HRESULT really is just a 32 bit integer with special rules (top bits set subsystem that cause the error, bottom bits set error code, hence the conversion function for best practice).

Stripping out the Windows types and compile-time validation and the wrappers, and picking non-Windows error codes, you can turn the code into more Unix-like C++:

int32_t CreateWidget(int32_t* widget)
{
*widget = nullptr;
return ECANCELED;
}

int32_t GetWidgetAliases(wchar_t* aliases, uint16_t capacity, uint16_t* actual)
{
*actual = 0;
return EBADF;
}

int32_t EnableWidget(int32_t widget, bool value)
{
return EBADF;
}

int32_t Close(int32_t widget)
{
return EBADF;
}

However, this code may not function if you're building for 32-bit Windows and it may not work on every compiler; it just assumes certain bit sizes that the API only guarantees in the form of typedefs.
One thing that makes it an appealing problem to solve is its apparent simplicity. It’s almost embarrassing that our modern mathematical technology isn’t adequate to resolve such an elementary question.

…or maybe the fact that it proves so hard to answer shows that we’re just wrong for thinking that it’s ‘elementary’. Therefore, any solution would necessarily require new breakthroughs that would lead to greater general understanding. So:

1) mathematicians would like to save face

2) you can’t solve difficult problems without accidentally solving other difficult ones that turn out to have immediate ‘practical’ importance
Probably not "whatever", but anything that passes a "reasonableness" standard. It's totally reasonable to expect that if an airline offers bereavement fares that you could file the paperwork a month later because, like, there's a lot going on if you need a bereavement fare and getting the paperwork together can take time.

There are lots of things that an employee might say that would not be reasonable, even if they had no malicious intent.
> What causes it? Consistency of a model cannot be the ultimate reason, right?

Well, you'd need to ask a question that can be answered with science rather than philosophy, generally.
> Part of the problem is the sheer breadth of IT and software development today

No, the problem is wholly human limitation. All humans start as an ignorant babe and have to both mentally develop and learn everything from scratch. This includes the rebellious teenage years and not listening to the wisdom of their elders (and for the adults around them, how to properly raise and mentor kids).

We have been doing this exact dance every dozen years for thousands of years for every single field and every single little task, from how to cook the best bread, the best way to saddle an ox, how to fix a toilet, etc. Learning and discovering, and relearning and rediscovering, ad infinitum.
Things that just work quickly become boring and untalkworthy. Stripe is still king.
You only need 10,000 accounts if you expect bans. Bluechecks don't get banned so you only need 1,000 not 10,000 (made up numbers) and in that world, you just steel some crypto to fund a thousand credit cards (or similar) and you're gold, forever because Twitter won't ban paying customers -- it's too desperate for that.
I've been suffering that TODAY.

"Connection Refused No Further Information"

Well thanks pal.
A unregulated free market requires capitalism, but capitalism can exist without free markets.

We do it all the time. Many facets of markets are not free. The pharmaceutical market is highly regulated, but boy is it capitalism.
Thank you. So to ensure I understand - docker inside a Debian vm? Keeps the host clean I like it
I still don't agree with your point, then. Apple does treat the Mac just like their other devices, and they use it as the justification for sweeping API depreciation and user-hostile software decisions. If Apple made a decent way to develop apps entirely in Xcode, I wouldn't trust them to keep iTerm around for a second.

So this is funny. USA wanted Pakistani prime minister out so when he leaked the cable showing American meddling, Pakistani courts found him guilty of leaking state secrets and had him removed from office?

Recently he was awarded 5 year jail sentence for among other things, for having "improper marriage" with his wife. As in her waiting period apparently from divorce - remarriage wasn't enough but that being a mere irregularity, courts had to find him guilty because they want to crucify him. Why?
If social media engagement corresponded to real changes, Kony would be behind bars. :-) That's why "twitter metrics" are such a perfect closed system; they're already optimized for engagement so of course their content engages the people observing the metrics.
I didn’t say they’re not a hardware company, I said they don’t want to be one because it makes shareholders very uneasy about the stability of the company.
Thanks for the tip on performance
> Unfortunately, Congress is, and has been for a long time, nonfunctional.

But that is, in my view, irrelevant to the question of whether the Supreme Court should or should not usurp their power.
Sure, then you get the point.
I'm not up to speed on all of the things that computational biology is up to. But IIRC there are some metabolic pathways that cascade into producing a lot of whatever it is the organism is trying to produce. Which sounds kind of like what you're describing.
At the end of the day humans make these screwups too (even in my own anecdotal experiences with dealing with airlines), and it doesn’t matter because there is no hook to be on in the first place. If they tell me x and come to find out the policy is actually y, I’m the one thats shit out of luck and should have done the due dilligence of thoroughly reading whatever legalese this is scrawled in. These ais are at least highlighting there are many segments of customer facing interactions where it just doesn’t affect the bottom line how poorly you treat these people. Flights especially are a captive audience, considering how airlines lord over their schedules and gate positions, where especially outside major airports there might not be any redundant options for you beyond one flight.
I think it makes a lot more sense if you separate a country from their elite.

It seems quite clear that the German elite class had been wholly corrupted by Russia who offered them enrichment at the cost of Ukrainians and ultimately long term German security.

It makes a lot more sense when you look at how America's own elites sold out America to China.

All of this (charitably assuming good faith) was founded on the idea of inevitability. People thought peace was an inevitable result of trade, liberalization was an inevitable result of prosperity, and democratization an inevitable result of capitalism.
Maybe companies are so used to their $multimillion dollar legal teams winning against broke Average Joes that their legal departments are starting to just assume that it will always happen and that all court precedents are going to be favorable. They've been sniffing their own farts for so long they think it's fresh air.

The point was that your very comment was a dupe - the very "problem" you take issue with. And that's definitely not your first time (with both submissions and comments). Nobody's perfect, right? Not you, or the people you constantly correct - there is no "until ppl stop" because shit happens, and mistakes can be made in spite of best intentions. The heat death of the universe will occur before duplicate posts on the internet cease to be a thing.

I don't have an issue with people pointing out dupes, but when a single person does so so militantly while making the same mistake themselves somewhat often, it's like... let the mods mod.
Nothing preventing them from doing it. But then customers will very quickly learn to not use the chat bots and instead call in or use other means.

Would you use a company tool that even the company doesn't have faith in?

And if companies remove human reps from the equation and only offer chatbots, then I'm sure eventually the regulatory agencies will step in.
And “reduce” should get even more focus than that. People don’t need most of the garbage they buy. Of course, that would be bad for the economy, so we don’t talk about that anymore.

Anything reused or recycled will at some point become waste, but if it isn’t produced in the first place, that’s ideal. It obviously won’t work for everything, but it can work for a significant amount of things. The entirety of Temu and Shein would be a good start.

The poster I replied to complained about someone choosing MIT over GPL, not a proprietary licence over GPL. Noone is blocked from contributing for legal reasons. Quite the opposite.
You should look up how the Cambridge Analytica scandal influenced the 2016 presidential election and all the stuff that came up during the congressional hearings. It is highly likely that Trump won because of it. They not only used the leaked facebook data from 70 million americans to build models of who was voting for who, they also used it for targeted ads. For example, they knew that people from certain groups were highly unlikely to ever vote for Trump, no matter how many propaganda ads they were fed. But they didn't let all the personal data they had go to waste. They instead showed these people "news" articles via ads about Clinton and her alleged weakness, or her husband's infidelity. This way they made people who would have otherwise opposed Trump simply not vote at all. The rest is history.
Of course — and even more advantages in special administrative courts, where even reaching a regular court to assert your rights is so expensive most small farmers can’t afford it and where Big Ag doesn’t have to expend any money at all since their paid-for pol does the fighting using taxpayer funds.

Removing special courts doesn’t solve the disparity; but it does improve the situation for small farmers trying to provide their communities with wholesome foods.

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of better.
The key word is “once.” The doom of american society will not be in the timespan of a single business quarter. And on top of that the short position improves the whole way down. People at the top of the economy aren’t concerned about the rag being wrung dry because they will be the ones doing it, which will give them such a lopsided resource advantage it hardly will matter to them what happens next for the rest of us.
No. For the US, the DoD spends exponentially more on Post-Its than one of these "missions". But if you're China/Iran/North Korea/Russia, you don't even have to spend that money at all. But again, the money isn't really the thing. It's just a comment.

The effectiveness of the leaflets greatly depended on the number of people that actually found them. Social platforms allow you to have your post placed directly in front of the eyeballs of your target. You even get analytics on the campaign.

I was just using old vs new techniques to show how much more modern day shenanigans are
If the UN says "To date, OHCHR has verified 1,348 individual civilian deaths directly in hostilities in Mariupol" and then some dude says "Official UN statement is 1300 death in Maripol" that is an honest reading.

It isn't an accurate reading, but if you spend any time at all on the internet you will detect that honest people are often quite inaccurate. And wrong even while being able to back their opinions up with evidence. But it still isn't fair to imply that they are liar, lying or spreading lies. They are just wrong. Happens to literally all of us.

Even if hypothetically he was a habitual liar in every other comment he ever made on HN, this is not a showcase of lying.
People spending 3.5K to code is peak capitalism.

Yes, I am exaggerating a little bit, but frankly coding like this is kinda silly, you don't need this headset to fancy manipulate text presentation when the really important thing, the abstractions, are in your brain.
If you look at the history of languages and impact they made, Rust doesn't really fit into any one.

C was influential because it had very concise grammar which made it fairly easy to adapt to any architecture. C++ on the other hand never really gained as much traction despite its apparent advantages.

Java, being fairly poorly designed in early days (unpredictable GC, needing a class wrapper for main) got huge adoption because it was cross platform and programmers didn't have to manage memory manually.

Javascript won over PHP because of its flexibility, despite of all its shortcomings.

Python won over Ruby and others for scientific computing because of its great standard library, that made development super easy, dependency management (especially with venv) and very easy integration with native code. Even now, for companies, its actually cheaper to spend more on extra infra to run slower python code than pay programmers to write it in a higher performance language.

What does Rust have? Primarily memory safety, and then slightly better code structure compared to C, and cargo package manager. Memory safety doesn't really map onto a real world result. The task of exploiting binaries is EXTREMELY difficult these days with so many layers of protection just to get to the binary over the internet with your structure shellcode, never mind exfiling data. Cargo package manager is fairly good for what it is. Code structure can be clearer to read compared to C (you can get fairly close if you know how to write C macros well).

So overall, its still very niche, and the reference tracking acts as a disadvantage to slow development down. Sure it forces you to think about structure, but the future is looking like that computers are going to do all that thinking for you (or rather apply known memory safe patterns to your code automatically).
I don't think there's a "should" here, it's just that as a developer, I don't like dealing with Apple and chose long ago to stop taking jobs as an iPhone app dev. I'd only do it for significant extra money. And my side projects don't go out of their way to support iPhones anymore. If Apple cleans up their act, I'll reconsider, not that my single decision sways them at all.
Home/End keys work in DOS/Windows to go to beginning/end of line.

Hold down CTRL key as well and you should go to beginning/end of document.
Hold down SHIFT key and you'll select from the current cursor location to the cursor destination.

Windows has Shift, CTRL, ALT keys. That's three modifier keys.

The Windows key has typically never been used for an application-level shortcut key. I only know of OS-wide uses of the Windows key.
We don’t know.

And a telephone company wanted to connect calls more easily, so they invented the transistor, which changed the world in unimaginably many ways. Sometimes you just don’t know where you’ll end up until you try it.
Yep. Intent matters.
