Its interesting to note though that strikes are despised by the british population.

My mother for example will bang on for hours about how doctors and nurses have it so great and they're being greedy and unreasonable.

Ditto rail drivers. (something I actually agree with in the case of TfL underground drivers).

Theres just a really large cultural difference here, though I think there is at least one red thread to our media.

Uh, sounds like these documents are the opposite of pointless, and are in fact working exactly as intended.
That's only a prediction, an extrapolation by the UN I believe. Many things can change until then and we don't know anything for sure. Even if it peaks by 2086, the population mass until then, with our current way of living, will have devastated the planet.
Some of my former co-workers founded a start-up a few years ago (before the ChatGPT age) focussing on AI tools for the medical sector. By far their biggest challenge wasn't the tech but the hoops they had to jump through to get even their smallest tools certified so that they could be used by doctors at all. Unbelievable amounts of red tape and time investment on the side of that startup.

I find it disgusting to hear that ChatGPT and the likes are now regularly used by medical professionals where, obviously, these LLM tools have never gone through the same process. For two reasons - one because of the obvious medical risks involved (hallucinating LLMs) but also because of the gross commercial advantage the companies behind these LLMs get without even as much as trying to get certified.

I've lost touch with my former co-workers but I would be surprised if they hadn't looked into LLMs to be included in their products. My guess is that they're still somewhere in the administrative hell of trying to get their latest tools certified while meanwhile, doctors are happily using ChatGPT and GenAI. Must be frustrating.

No, this is often used for logging. In my last job, we were generating on the order of a million lines like this per hour in the log I worked with most often (many millions per hour if you count all the logs in the company). Each line of that log was between a few hundred bytes and ~100 KB. It would take a lot of work to support that in a database. That log was processed by many Spark jobs (some in streaming fashion, others in batch). "Small" summaries were added to a columnar database each night. The main table in that database contained hundreds of columns and billions of rows for more interactive analysis.
Sure! On the other hand, if we kill ourselves off before that happens, for example by making the planet unlivable for humans, then that chance is also gone. Getting to that level of technological advancement is a marathon, not a sprint.

I admire the work of Paul Vixie over the years, been using postfix and bind since 2000.

However, I'm a fan of geodns concept in general, and we have ECS standard as well to help with better answers. This allows small players or individuals to do what Big companies do, but without running anycast network, which is very expensive at every step of the journey: from getting ASN, then PI address space, paying yearly fees, then getting bgp peering and operating it efficiently. Thousands of $ per month and a required expertise. Instead of just spinning up 5 cheap vps and put a smart DNS in front, accepting all the tradeoffs, for $50 per month.

I do agree however, that some of the operational cost (marginal) is shifted to other parties because of small TTL need for this to work sensibly. But still, majority of traffic goes to my authoritative DNS servers that I operate, as the higher zones have a big TTL anyway. You can't geodns a glue record, it is static and it is cached properly.

So who bear this cost? End user pays for the bandwidth so an extra packets for lookup is not an issue. ISP resolvers? A bit yes, but they can enforce a policy on minimal TTL if this is too expensive for the ISP... Clearly it is not. At the end of the day, customer (ISP customer) will pay the bill if ISP needs to spin up more resolvers.

“We f*ed the world, and we’re gonna f*k our way outta this!”
I don’t think this is about how technically complex that would be. That’s clearly not where the moat is.
The moat is in the commercial operations powering the cash machine that Google has built across its numerous properties.

You can build this engine but it won’t give you the richness of the data Google collects through Gmail, YouTube, Maps, Analytics etc… on its users.
You could argue that Apple could try, through its own properties, but it would go against the privacy stance (essential to their image now).

Not saying they aren’t capable of dancing around this problem either, but then you start eroding your brand (which sells lots of iPhones).
That’s when you start seeing that it’s just simpler to externalize this cost to a third party that you can then openly criticize and use as scarecrow to reinforce your market position, all the while collecting tens of billions in profits from them.

Yes profits, they don’t pay anything to operate Google Search. Given that Google gives them a third of revenue on Safari, that means Apple would need a product that does multiple times what they get for it today. That also requires a sales force they don’t fully have (although that’s been increasing for their own properties like AppStore and News).

Anyway, looking at it from this angle, it’s kind of genius not to change the status quo.

there are so many good comments like this one that are being downvoted without any explanation why. what is wrong with this argument?

there was an article (on HN even i think) some time ago that showed how big of an area of solar panels we would need to place in the sahara desert to solve the worlds energy problems. it was tiny compared to the whole area of the desert. sure, there is still a problem of distribution, but really, this energy problem should be solvable.

the space problem is a bit different. we probably don't want to turn the whole planet into high density housing, even if we could energy wise, but the only thing getting in the way of solving the problems we have is politics as in unwillingness to cooperate for the greater benefit of the world instead of for selfish reasons.
Although there are ways to bring it back under the earth: Burry trees deeply underground. Which is of no economic value, but that might be a way, if we dig deep enough and do it on big scales.

Austria might be an outlier.

Also Buenos Aires and City of Buenos Aires.
Pharma is the prime example. A 'good' drug does not cure, it temporary mitigates and 'idealy' makes you even more susceptible, requiring recurrent future consumption.

This requires no great conspiracy or planning. Time and the market will disappear companies that eradicate the disease they solved, while persisting and elevating those that stumbled upon the dependency route, and inside those companies teams pursuing platforms resulting in success of the latter kind will rise to prominence and at that stage the company will protect the goose that lays the golden eggs even if that means mothballing internal research that finds a real cure or aquiring outsiders to do the same.

None of the pharma products raking in billions upon billions actually solve a condition. All require perpetual consumption to at best stay in the mitigated state.
They will lose users to other search engines better search results assuming there will be a new generation of search engine startups powered by ai and by ai i don't mean just a ai summarizer that every search engine is adding.
Well that is just one aspect of Devops and CI/CD is definitely an art unto itself. I think there are a lot of developers who have never set up something from scratch like that for more than a toy.
Thanks . Will be careful next time.
Of course life on earth would be overall better if we were slightly warmer. There's far more land outside of the tropics.
It makes it incompatible with concatenative streaming, requires O(n^2) reparsing on every new chunk instead of just scanning for \n.

And if you have to parse values to detect end of record anyway, there’s no point in having jsonl standard at all, since you can just try to parse until the matching brace and repeat on success.
That doesn't make any sense. Whether Apple wanted to buy it or not, has little to do with it being better or not.

Every time a government changes everything is up for grabs too.

Suddenly politicians are experts and can decide on the curriculum. They went to school once so know everything about teaching?
But the point would be to change their job so that they can produce more value? Otherwise nothing is won. It's supposedly hard to convince people that they will have a fit in the new organisation if they have been doing things the same way for ten years; or that there is magically other valuable things to do when their job becomes more efficient.
Maybe, but because of outliers you can't then claim EU elective surgery is cheap when it obviously doesn't apply across the entire block. I'm sure it's cheap in some countries yes.
Appreciate your engagement.

I think it very much depends on your situation. I personally look to her as a role model who's demonstrated the value of strikes and collective action in influencing climate legislation.

Others might take inspiration in her criticisms of air transportation (something that seems to be growing in popularity these days) but I'm not able to give up seeing my aging parents across the country a few more times so that point hasn't reached me quite yet.

Her wikipedia page is worth 5 minutes if you can spare them and maybe go from there.
It is sorting itself out "magically". If anything, we don't know what to do with ageing populations.

The previous estimate put the population in 2100 at 11bln and growing, but then China had its census, which revealed a very different demographic situation than anticipated and the pandemic happened, upending those projections.

Recently also India went below replacement fertility rate - that now makes the two most populous nations having crossed that threshold - also way ahead of previous projections.

Estimates of populations of African countries are most likely overstated, just like fertility rates.
If I'm not mistaken, your statement is also not backed by any data and is a propaganda in itself
yes, but this only goes as far as being able to explain the difference between humans and other animals. it doesn't at all explain the differences between different humans because other factors are so strong that so far we have not been able to isolate genetic differences as a factor in human intelligence. even twin studies have been flawed in this regard.

Oh I wasn't going off a margin of error thing.

"Recorded history" and "records of average temperature taken in real time" are two very different things to say only go back 150 years.

"Recorded history" only going back 150 years implies that the US was basically the start of recorded history.

"real time temperature measurements" only go back 150 years means you don't trust the science that allows us to make estimates of climate based on things like ice core samples.
If only we could know how people without children behave. If only there were some around to see if in fact they just decide to eschew society and become destructive as you predict.
I don’t know where parent commenter lives, but in Central Europe, this definitely happened in a radical way. There is basically no snow. A day, or if you’re lucky three days a year maximum. This is going on for the past 20-25 years continuously. This didn’t happen in the past millennia at all. In the mountain village where I lived is totally unimaginable the winter for kids nowadays, how was in the 90s for me. And that was normal for centuries.

Also 40 Celsius is the new 30 in the past 15 years. This didn’t happen since we measure temperature. And 10 degrees are a lot, and the change happened in a decade.

Also summer wind patterns completely changed in the past 5 years, due to the weakening currents in Atlantic Ocean. This is something which is also highly unusual the past millennia. We know this for sure, because all of our towns were built wind from West in mind. We have wind from that direction less and less.

This is way over normal variation.

But looking at other examples, for example Norway. Thawing permafrost bogs are not something which can be explained by normal variation.

While this ist part of what we need to do, you are forgetting the industry sector, as the first and biggest polution source, that provides living standard to us, and that needs to be regulated the most for the biggest effect.
Some of the most impressive things I've seen LLMs do is take a grammar in, in a format that does not strictly conform to any specific variant of a formal grammar notation, then generate output that conforms to that grammar, and reason about why it conforms, and how.

Most people would struggle immensely with a task like that even if handed a textbook on the subject, and no amount of training data happens to contain text in or about a language governed by a grammar of random nonsense I fed in.

There are areas where their reasoning is really awful. Ironically that's often when they seem most human-like. E.g. I just had a lengthy "argument" with ChatGPT over comparing the theoretical computational power of Markov Decision Processes vs. Turing Machines with various assumptions about the decision maker in the MDP, and it's reasoning was riddled with logical fallacies that I could very well see a high school students confronted with trying to compare the two based on a Wikipedia level of understanding of either without sufficient understanding to reason about how different aspects can be made to model the other.

But there are plenty of areas where you can get them to produce good results where the "fine details" could not possibly be repeated verbatim from the test data because they didn't exist prior to the conversation.
And in same (many?) cases it's intentional, e.g. by overthrowing governments so the West has cheaper oil, gas, or bananas (Guatemala).
I think theres a rogue star set to mess with our orbit in about a million years so talk of another fifty might be lofty.

Yes, in surveys everyone is always generous and ready to sacrifice their own interests, then price of gas increases some 10-20% and you have protests and riots.
In theory they will lose users to other search engines.

This has not really happened during the last decade of enshittification of Google, but who knows, maybe it will happen in the future.
Ah yes, that is a big practical advantage, thanks for explaining.
To be pedantic, the pluralization for anything other than 1 billion exactly is billions. $1,000,000,001 would be 1.000000001 billions, with an s.

Which is all rather not the point because that's not what I said. I said "Billions have been lifted out of poverty." The meaning of that statement is: "the count of people who have been lifted out of poverty is measured with the 'billion' unit." That even includes 1 billion, exactly. If I had said "it numbers in the thousands", then 1,000 would have been an acceptable value, as would 9,9999.

But see my other comment. The number of people in India and China who have been lifted out of poverty in the last ~50 years or so is much more than a billion.

The friend was already consulting with doctors (plural).

It is quite common for people with ambiguous presentations to take a long time to get a definitive diagnosis. Not surprising that some of them will be receptive to Cranks and GenAIs along the way.

Some years ago I was on a neurology ward (for something straightforward) and my neighbour had been trying to get a diagnosis for his problems for about a year. He finally got one but it took a panel of senior medics in a top hospital in a big city to crack it.
Show HN: Temporarily lock yourself out from your phone, computer or account
Hi HN,

with lockmeout.online, I created an online time-lock service aimed at locking yourself out of distractions and help you to focus on important tasks and activities.

During the pandemic I noticed that I could not stay focused when reading a book for an extended period of time anymore - my mind was consistently urging me to check my phone or social media. Other productivity apps did not help me much, as my mind was still playing tricks on me ("Who cares what the usage report says", "I can bypass the block easily by just doing XYZ...").

Therefore, I came up with the idea of an irreversible (but temporary) solution: Changing your phone unlock code or account password, and putting it into an online time lock - impossible to bypass or revert until a certain timespan has elapsed. I myself noticed that once my mind was convinced there is no way to bypass the lock, I could focus on complex tasks and experience slow-paced, mindful moments again.
This is what the IPCC predicts [0]:

"According to the IPCC's 2021 projections of global temperature under different emissions scenarios, peak temperature could be anything from 1.6 ºC in around 2050 (if the globe hits net zero emissions by then), dropping to 1.4 ºC by 2100; to, with emissions still climbing, 4.4 ºC at 2100, with the peak still to come."

The IPCC's own predictions are that temperatures will peak and thereafter fall due to reductions in anthropogenic CO2 emissions. The question is when it will peak and how big the peak will be, which all depends on how quickly emissions are cut.

I said that you can use scanf(3), not that you should. You can use "s.split()" in python, if that makes you feel safer.
If this is googles strongest claim that they are not monopoly, then this is a bad look for google. They d better avoid mentioning it
It's also great for e.g. feeding search results to a client (the list-as-you-type kind), however JSONL doesn't specify how to end a stream. You will have to come up with your own higher-level protocol that allows having an EOD record.
I used those characters in the latter 90s when sending query results to a web client. There was a set of parameters with ADO to seriously the data or to a string. It was easy enough to split/map it back in the client.

Using hidden frames for jsonp-like request and callback support, that was the fun stuff. Don't miss it.

Also don't miss XML or SOAP.
I think exploration is often curiosity- or ego-driven, but expansion has nearly always been economically-driven.
This is important to look back on in the context of what's happing now with AI tools. This story is obviously about the leak of the data publicly, but what it shows is the profiling that is available to corporations.

Search has exposed so much data about ourselves to the services we use with very little regulation on what they are permitted to do with it inside their own walls.

My fear with AI is that we are moving toward sending even more data to party services. Tools such a co-pilot (which I enjoy using) are a gold mine for behavioural analysis. The profiling that will be possible with these tools is extraordinary and we don't yet fully understand the implication.

It's because of this that I'm a massive proponent of "Local AI". We need to be pushing for the industry to adopt a local inference architecture asap. It needs to become the standard pattern as early as possible to reduce the risk of the AI revolution being a repeat of the invasive internet search and advertising industry.
If more people means more geniuses we should be getting new groundbreaking insights about fundamental physics every year.

We don't because the resource of human learnable undiscovered physics was kind of limited resource that kinda ran out.

In the spirit of the article we replaced one resource with another. So now most of our numerous geniuses instead of discovering how to steal more from the universe learn how to steal more from consumers in investment banks, marketing companies and tech giants.
im guessing: all values must always end with a terminator, but a separator doesn't need to be present after the last value

that probably, that given you are on HN commenting, in comparison to most of the world you might be perceived of as "rich" - can not of course be sure you might only make 2000 dollars a month, but it seems relatively unlikely.
This might be more philosophical, but here’s how I think about. Would love to hear your take on it.

Before life, there was only death. At some point, something life-like sprung into existence, and soon died. And then it happened again. At some point it was able to reproduce, and then died.

Death is the default. It was always there. Some things managed to cheat it long enough to reproduce. Those things are alive.

This is why I don’t see that organisms evolved to die. The very first life-like things were dying, before they had the ability to reproduce.
But there weren't a billion of them around.

FWIW, quoting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_longbow : "The trade of yew wood to England for longbows was such that it depleted the stocks of yew over a huge area."
But that's more like the problem, not an argument.

it tells me people will let you do anything to them, if only you add enough emotions, otherwise they don't care.
> hallucination is defined as inconsistencies between a computable LLM and a computable ground truth function.

That's simply inaccuracy or fabrication.

Labelling it hallucination simply panders to the idea these programs are intelligent.
Pipes in both of the languages you specified do function application, not composition, so they’re very much point-ful (you see the arguments you pass/get passed).
What would a general population strike be calling for? Be very specific - aren’t elections a form of a general population strike?
If you have a streaming parser it spits out what it's got and it waits for more data (or an end which may never come). Mostly you would be extracting what you needed from the JSON as it went along. Wondering if jq works that way?
