> I think that would require AI development to approximately halt at close to the current level for over a lifetime.

What I'm getting at isn't AI development halting, but human knowledge/creativity halting [1]. Because the AI is and can only be trained on human knowledge, it's knowledge of reality has an upper bound (whereas, theoretically, humans can know anything or make new discoveries that don't exist in our current knowledge set).

If you don't tell the AI that strawberries are a thing/reality, it will never conceive of a strawberry on its own. And arguably, it's not fair to call these things "AI" until they can do so.

[1] Charlie Munger said "show me the incentives and I'll show you the outcome." Well, in this case, the incentives to use AI > spending the time to learn and develop skills. The outcome here is clear: humans will stop producing new knowledge and by extension, the AI will stop receiving new knowledge to learn.

Yeah not great
But why would shopify ever treat a subdomain as an entirely separate store outside of the main domain? That makes no sense.

If i register xyz.example.com as my store, then that should just be in my ONE account which verifies example.com, then by adding a second store, i can only add it as a subdomain from that main account, not just an entirely separate account.

Or, lets say its a separate account, then it should make me add records from that NEW account, even if there are already existing records.

So i still dont understand how this is possible
If only games weren't beholden to the shopping seasons, so they could just release when they are ready. Then this ordeal could be avoided.
I think people tend to want to rewrite software for the psychological break from the old, bad and ugly thing they don't want to have anything to do with anymore.

It is so easy to think "If only I could start everything from scratch, life will be so beautiful and I will be so successful and everybody will be happy. I will fix all the problems of the current codebase and people will forever sing songs about how amazingly I turned everything around."

What more frequnetly (much more frequnetly) happens is usually some mix of:

* developers not really understanding why exactly the previous version failed,

* developers not really understanding what actually worked well in the previous version,

* developers completely underestimating actual amount of accumulated knowledge in the old system that they now have to replicate. Obviously, they only discover it along the way when it is suddenly too late to fix the design to take all of that stuff into account.

* developers not appreciating the fact they are in a much very different (worse) situation than original creators of the previous version. The creators of the previous version had time to build the system and then slowly evolve it. But the current team has typically a short time horizon to replicate ALL of it.

* as the resources are shifted from the maintenance of the old system to the development of the new, suddenly the clock starts ticking and the stakeholders are impatient to see the result. The pressure grows quickly and with it comes inevitable compromises and technical debt.

* at some point development team is told they have to start maintaining the old app. The resources devoted to the rewrite shrink, the work grinds to a halt. I have seen many more systems that have been in a state of perpetual migration than I have seen ones that have been successfully completed rewrite.
Chaos theory knows two branches. discrete time and continuous time.

They are surprisingly different branches. differential equations are clearly in the continuous camp, and the basis of most if not all continuous chaos theory.
Shouldn't be that hard to at least model check it in TLA+ I would have thought (albeit potentially more complex if trying to account for weak memory).
It sounds like it's pretty accurately delivering what it's asked for - it's just being asked by multiple people all the time and some of those people are whispering in it's ear.
I'm glad I'm not the only one. I noticed that and asked a friend, and they didn't see it. To me, when you consider both how it sounds and the theme of the song, it has to be intentional.

Nuclear power is just too expensive. Look at France - the have 80% or so nuclear and all of their power companies run at a loss and have to be subsidized.
Meanwhile in Germany wind and solar make a pretty good complement and are cheaper, even with storage included, which is mostly provided by Switzerland and Austria.

It's just not worth the hassle.
My Ioniq 5 does, but I don't think it'll natively support NACS until next year's model... That said using most Superchargers would be a step down in terms of charging speed, I think it would mostly be helpful in areas where there's low coverage for 350kW stations (edit: to be clarify, 350kW stations are the only ones I've seen that saturate the cars ability to charge. But it doesn't hit the full 350kW)

My Galaxy Watch 4 has no issues.
antivax is the only area where they seem similar and only superficially, I can't think of a single other instance. using one stance to pretend that two diametrically opposed sides are the same thing seems particularly ignorant to me.
For someone so skeptical, why buy the 'cost increases will be passed on to the consumer' BS? Clearly that's not true.

First, price increases depend on elasticity. I'm guessing that ketchup demand is pretty elastic; it's not diabetes medication or higher education.

Also, we can assume Heinz, being sophisticated, has already priced it for the highest possible marginal return; there's not necessarily room for increasing the price without reducing return (by driving down sales).
I feel building your own is probably not the best way to benefit from a CAS, unless you are doing it for fun! But I had this question too in the past and found some resources, including the fact that SymPy is a good project to learn from.

We should just do what we do for time changes and do feb 28 over again.
I keep hearing this nonsense over and over. I've led two full and very successful software 50-100K LOC rewrites, both with the team and stakeholders who had a lot of experience in the problem space. We replaced unmaintainable systems by a much fresher, MUCH faster codebase. They used largely boring and reliable technology. Rewriting 1%, 10% or even 50% would make no sense and essentially get us little or nothing.

Yes, you need to know what you're doing if you plan to rewrite anything, and make sure that the people who know the little legacy details of your system are around, but it's absolutely the right thing to do in many situations.
Yes this is absolutely crucial for performance.

Ask HN: Nobody interested in an open hardware iPod Nano?
Hey HN,

over the years I tested MANY dedicated audio players[1]. And here is the thing: I'm still using an Apple iPod Nano 7g for music and audio books (m4b), because in my opinion there is nothing that comes close in usability and flexibility.

Here is why:

Music, Audiobooks, Podcasts - all supported
Tiny size - although not mandatory I hate bulky phones in my pocket
Battery life - Can listen for days without running out of battery
Usability - Greate UI Design and Earphone remote support[2]
Bluetooth 4.0 - already supported

The only optimizations I could find so far would be:

Interchangeable storage - if the internal flash dies, the device is broken forever
Replaceable battery - it's hard to repair
Audio formats - flac support would be nice
Wireless sync - Not having to copy files via cable would be nice to have

The iPod Nano 7g is from 2012. I've seen many people designing custom PCBs and releasing Kickstarter projects for custom audio players[5] or game handhelds[6]. I know Rockbox (which is great, but its lacks support for Wifi and Bluetooth AFAIK and just does not compete with the UX of iPod's audio book features in my opinion) and iPod Linux. 10 years ago someone even reverse engineered the iPod Nano 6g display[3].

Although I'm not skilled enough in PCB-Design, after some research I found the Lilygo T-Display S3 Pro[4] based on ESP32 S3, which would be the size, but lacks audio and OS. There is also the Mango PI CyberPad[7], which looked interesting, but maybe is already too clunky.

Programming wise, LVGL[8] may be a good framework to develop a modern and efficient UI - at least it looks promising.

So, why is nobody interested in recreating an iPod nano like device? It should be doable with modern tech, but Phones have completely taken over the market...

It's doubtful that any language can fully express the medium in which it is expressed. But that shouldn't discourage us about an LLM's intelligence, as the sense data you get about the world is, in a sense, also a language. An LLM has a different view of the world and reality than us, but it still has a view.
Some people experience a form of "empathy" stronger than most, which means they end up almost mimicking anyone new or different. Often seems to come with insecurity too.

Crime does not scale. It's the same few people stealing the majority of bikes. I'd go as far as to claim almost no thief steal only one bike.

Catching thieves and jailing them scales. For each one caught you avoid potentially hundreds of further thefts from that person and an even greater number from the people who will be discouraged from pursuing criminal activities.
mmap() requires that you map at page aligned intervals which must be congruent with the file offset. You can't just round down because some gpus like metal require that the data pointers themselves be page aligned too.

Legacy systems that you inherit don't have people coming with them very often. That's part of the context of this. You often don't have people to trace it back to or at least not the people who actually wrote it (maybe someone who worked with them before they got laid off a decade ago), and reformatting the code is not going to make it any harder to get answers from people who aren't there.

That makes it weird though, because 1900 was a leap year? I sort of get it, but it's a slightly odd and inconsistent decision.

Am I the only one who is aghast at people using these things to write emails, or worse, educational materials? It feels impersonal and shitty to send someone an AI generated email. Furthermore, they lie all the time. Unless you know what you're talking about, there's a large risk to using it as an educational resource.

The negativity on Reddit game dev subreddits does annoy me (nobody seems to think anyone will ever get anywhere with a game and should just give up and get a corporate job), but I think that the worse thing is how surface-level and superficial the conversations are. You hardly ever get a post about how they implemented some interesting feature, or how they came up with their art style or whatever. It's mostly just "Should I use Unreal or Unity?", "Is Godot the answer to all my problems", or self-promotion.
Pretty bold to launch a product that is an AI runtime sold as "delivering immediate performance gains" with GPU support "coming soon".

Also, Mojo is nowhere near "the first language built from the ground up for AI development". It might be the first built from the ground up targeting the current popular flavors of AI approaches, but...that's a much less impressive statement.
I'm surprised to see that the report doesn't address any of the 'disability' aspects of autism.

There are people with autism who are nonverbal even as adults, who are not able to care for themselves. The challenges those people and their families face will not be addressed by any amount of awareness or affordances at work.

There is some weird tension in autism advocacy where the disability gets swept under the rug and all attention goes to people who have milder forms of the condition.

Disabled autistic people still need to be able to live with dignity and I think it bears mention in a report like this. Changes at work are only a part of addressing the issue- aid to the disabled is another essential component.
I get a lot of mileage out of "I'm happy to help but first I need to let my manager know that you've asked me to do this." Usually the request dies about 15 minutes after.

I doubt they're being creative. Far more likely they're locating the charging port based on the needs of the vehicle's internal layout. Or to be consistent with the manufacturer's standard, which was likely set by the needs of their first EV's internal layout.
My point is that it's typically a design choice when choosing something like Wordpress or a dynamic site, versus a static HTML file that's under 100kb. Though in this case the site's resources are under 400KB, so I can't really be sure.
Just to reinforce this, Freakonomics did a "The Perfect Crime" podcast which talks about this very issue: https://freakonomics.com/podcast/the-perfect-crime-2/

IIRC, a VERY low percentage of people who kill a pedestrian are ever even charged (like 3%) with anything. In the vast majority of cases, there is negligence involved and everyone is just like "ok, you killed someone though your own negligences, but turns out there are no consequences for that"???
Interesting that you believe a “comparatively large” house is the same thing as a giant house.

I guess that’s why the average home built today is ~100% bigger than an average home built 100 years earlier - ironically, when people actually had large families. No concept of what large even is.
It’s not just a bit of an exaggeration, it’s a fundamental mischaracterizarion. It’s barely even a cocktail party-level understanding. It’s what you tell your retired lawyer brother in law if he asks how a neural network works, but anyone but anyone who is serious enough to buy this book is not being served by the analogy.

But fundamentally the point is the same: brains don’t learn via backpropagation. The headline isn’t sort of correct, it is wrong.

I'm still using and enjoying my Keychron Alice-layout 75% Q10[1], Q0 Plus[2], and the 3D printed fully open source Ploopy Mouse[3].

All are configured via QMK, although I only custom compile a firmware for the mouse. For the keyboards I just use VIA, which is plenty capable.

For the numberpad, I have the macro keys and the numlock key assigned to A through F, so I have a hexadecimal keypad when I want it. On the Q10 main keyboard, I have macro keys assigned to ctrl-r and ctrl-t for fzf, plus alt-x, ctrl-g, and ctrl-x ctrl-s for Emacs.

The ploopy mouse is a marvel, although I wish its wheel was sticky/stepped and not freely-rotating. I wish I had the skills to design a vertical version of the mouse and transfer the guts to that, but I'm a complete idiot when it comes to 3D stuff. Having QMK on a mouse is game-changer though; you can use one button as a layer switcher, and expand the number of functions each button performs. Being able to do a plain text paste in macOS, or use the side buttons for page up/down and home/end, is really useful.

I highly recommend customizing your macro keys! Especially if you use something like Emacs or work in the terminal a lot.

"is your claim that the firstborn child stops being the firstborn child when another child is born?" is not a reasonable reading of my words in any way, shape, or form. It's an absolutely absurd reading.

> I will say, growing up most of us have encountered that 1 kid who is just a bit weird due to the way his or her parents were raising them.

How is this relevant? I'm not denying it, just wondering what exactly it's supposed to prove, if anything. My only claim is that the family-size psychological theory proposed by the OP is not true.

That much is obvious, given your aforementioned absurd interpretation.

Regarding the contention, one thing that's important is to cache a local copy of the shared head and tail variables every time you access them. Then for subsequent operations you can first check the local cached copy to see if you can perform the read or write without needing to check the shared variables.

There's a certain nostalgia I feel looking at the current state of the website. I first got interested in Enlightenment about 20 years ago, and remember tinkering for endless hours to get things up and running.

It felt so modern and futuristic at the time, and always seemed just on the edge of breaking out into a major player in the Linux desktop space. Always in a state of "lots more coming!". Today, it feels a bit frozen in time, but maybe that's a good thing.

For some reason I keep coming back to Xfce, which also seems like it hasn't changed all that much, but has enough usage that it's easier to troubleshoot and find solutions to problems.

Might have to spin up Enlightenment for old time's sake and to see how things are looking these days.
