At least from my experience and from the suggestions from Nassim Taleb (e.g., past events/data != future outcome/data), we cannot reliably predict the future.

The only thing that is constant is, as someone a long time argued, is “change”.
Arguably, basic needs, and with that I mean existential needs, seem to be universal for most lifeforms: water, forms of energy (i.e., food, warmth), and the ability to maintain your system.

If something very bad hits the fan (no agriculture, no public farmland), you and me probably need to first learn how to make fire, how to purify water and how to catch fish.
Fishing without permission could lead you to jail, but in tough situations, the legal stuff might be not your main concern.
How much does it cost to get a permission? Can you afford it if you're homeless and no one is helping or giving you a job, a shelter? How are you going to get taxed and pay your government your state employees (e.g., police)?
Who will then pay police to enforce laws? Or who will protect your basic constitutional rights, if you cannot pay taxes to finance a judge? Or, more extremely, what if a lot of people will be out of a job overnight? What will the government and state people do then without this transaction? So, there's a lot of what ifs… We aren't there yet.

In other words: how can you take part in a fair society if there are no jobs available, especially if you're old, unlucky, or your skills aren't as useful anymore because of LLMs or possibly AGI?
Which means society does not need you, and perhaps would like to get rid of you.

The question is, will wealth (the ability to make transactions) still be relevant if AGI becomes a reality?
What kind of transactions can you make? Buy AGI systems powerful enough to fulfil all kinds of labor needs, buy farmland, buy wells or sources of clean water?
However, why should this be possible if some of us live in a democracy, even if there is a great influence from those with wealth?

Since I tend to be negative about things (i.e., I am biased), it's hard to say for sure what will happen.
Further, there might be a lot of things I have not considered (tunnel vision).

PS: the dollar has no intrinsic value, we give value to it.
So, I do not know what wealth means, if there is significantly less need for human labor.
Ultimately, if some of us can have “free slaves” (i.e., robots), then some of us arguably do not need to have wealth (the ability to make transactions). Only raw power/dominance and luck.

Frankly, the chart looks like Linux's market share is below the range of errors of the measurments made.

Compared to Linux, the famous "Unknown" OS has a market share of 10%-ish, a spectacular come back from its steep decline between May and June 2023 where it went from 12% to 3%. Windows and OSX market shares aren't stable at all and can move 4% in one month.

So Linux going from 3.9% to 4% should be taken with a grain of salt...

It's a very naive article certainly, her amusement at how cavalier drivers can be when discussing their team and sponsors or exhibiting individuality tickles me given there has been an all but complete moratorium on personality in the sport for the past ten years.

Her comments on the history of cycling are either idealistic or plain ignorant, it was certainly a sport for peasants, but also the idle rich - bicycles became popular toys for the wealthy well before they were remotely available to the poor (to whom they would become almost indispensable).

She identifies herself a socialist right off the bat which I suspect is why the article is so contemptuous, having walked the paddock numerous times I can tell you it is enjoyable as hell if you're open to it, doubly so if it's a free ride as the author had!
It's very exciting to see that image generators are finally figuring out spelling. When DALL-E 3 (?) came out they hyped up spelling capabilities but when I tried it with Bing it was incredibly inconsistent.

I'd love to read a less technical writeup explaining the challenges faced and why it took so long to figure out spelling. Scrolling through the paper is a bit overwhelming and it goes beyond my current understanding of the topic.

Does anyone know if it would be possible to eventually take older generated images with garbled up text + their prompt and have SD3 clean it up or fix the text issues?
Because I assume that on hn, most people are familiar with the fact that the vaccine makes it a lot less likely to get the disease, and decreases the symptoms if you do get it.

Also, people who are not trolling typically don't use the expression "Kung-Flu", since I would expect that even anti-vaxxers usually have enough self-respect not to parrot the embarrassing utterings of a certain former US president.

But since it is impossible to assert that a very committed troll is actually a troll, let's pretend you are an honest person, and actually asking if people believe that you need 217 vaccines to get complete immunity from COVID.

Let's even steel-man your argument, and pretend you understand how vaccines work, understand herd immunity, and therefore did not mean complete immunity.

Then the answer is: "no"

217 is not the needed number.

> As you rotate, they blur the scene using post-processing. In a completely static scene, this makes sense

No, it doesn't make sense because due to eye movement that's not how turning looks in the real world. Any game that blurs the scene on camera rotation is doing it wrong even if nothing else is moving at the time.

It's impossible to do it correctly without very low latency and high precision eye tracking so the best you can do is to not blur anything that the player might be focusing on.

Your first link doesn't prove nothing, it has nothing to do with airbags being mandatory. According to this: https://autoily.com/when-did-airbags-become-mandatory/ , they are only mandatory in the US (my fault, sorry). Some countries, like India, are requiring ONE front airbag since 2019. The core of my message stands: car makers go way ahead the mandates. I don't recall any safety technology that ever banned or delayed a car model from the market, unlike for example emission regulations, that are announced with a deadline in a "by 2030 no car can emit more than X CO2 g/km, so you better comply or be banned" fashion. In Europe that kind of regulation is causing diesel cars to vanish from the market. Safety regulations are always after the fact: "it seems than 100% of the new cars already have seat belts. Lets make it mandatory", and are usually announced with "the UE would like all cars to have anti-collision alert mechanisms before 2025", signaling that maybe in 2030 they make it mandatory for the remaining 20% that still don't have it today.

About the NCAP, I don't understand your message. Maybe you understood that brands send their cars to NCAP voluntarely? What I meant was that NCAP is a voluntary non-profit organization, and they can't do much even if your car is a cofin with wheels other than giving it zero stars. It's not like they can ban your car from the market under safety motives, like a government could do if they want.
That is _literally_ the exception listed in the asterisk text ("all*") one line below the text you quoted ("intercity express" is abbreviated ICE).

I think it's currently more likely to happen on Radicle given there is no search or discovery functionality, and repositories exist on a flat hierarchy, ie. they are not namespaced by user/org name, so harder to distinguish if they share the same name and description.
Indeed. Leaf doesn’t have active thermal management for its battery, which noticeably shortens its lifespan.

Leaf can’t keep batteries cool enough during charging in hot weather, and can’t preheat them before charging in cold weather.

Leaf and Tesla S are two cars with over a decade of real-world data available, and Tesla’s degrade 1-2% per year, Leaf 2-3% per year.
Accessing a NAS at decent speeds. Even for a single 7.2k rpm drive that's rated at 120 MB/s, a gigabit link speed is a bottleneck (120 MB/s = 960 Mbit, add protocol overhead and you're over 1 Gigabit). If you have any kind of array (zfs, raid ...) of drives you need more speed again. If you have an SSD cache (an option even in Consumer NAS now) not having a multi-Gbit/s link is essentially a waste.

Of course you can send 10GbE over copper, but the needed amplification is a major heat source. So if you're running cables anyway you might as well run fiber and be prepared for 100GbE.

True, it doesn’t. But the average rent in Germany is 780€/mo without heating, electricity or internet. So realistically people spend on average a 1000€/mo on living.

Realistically this living on a train thing isn’t a sustainable lifestyle, but it certainly is a fun adventure
I think graph data structures are generally missing because they are not something that you would explicitly use most of the time. Sometimes graphs just emerge from existing data structures in an application.

You might want to run generic graph algorithms on such emergent graph data structures, but usually they don't have a uniform graph interface that you can make use of. So you either would need to copy the graph over to some normalized graph data structure, or implement a uniform graph interface facade over the existing objects. The latter is usually more efficient.

Anyway, there are libraries that tend to do this decently, I think Boost does it well[1]. But there are a lot of inherent complexities and so much open design space that you can't really serve with one or even a handful of data structures.

All nodes can still have equal privilege. Data must originate from somewhere, that is a seed node. And supernode is, or at least was when I studied CS, basically just a more connected node. That said, I agree, a project like this could do with a more formal and structured definition of goals.

> This is like saying we shouldn't have any new CPUs after the the PDP-1 because quicksort got invented

I didn't assert anything here, I merely pondered. However, lets pretend that I did say that we shouldn't need heavy GPUs anymore. I don't think that's an entirely bad take because it would be fantastic if we could run larger models with more parameters on lower spec hardware. Especially phones that aren't flagship models.
The article mentions drink speficially and does not mention the effect of sweet food in general. Perhaps sugar or aspartame without any accompanying nutrient is especially detrimental, going straight into the system.
Depends what you're accessing. A top of the line SSD can easily reach speeds of 5 GB/s in the real world, for which you'd need 50GbE for full saturation.

> It's not outside the realm of possibility that he was also selling them

From the AP story: "German police have conducted many raids in connection with forgery of vaccination passports in recent months."

This wasn't just an isolated case or idle speculation. People were selling them, regardless of whether this particular individual did.

Of course not. He was a dumb petty criminal who got caught, just like countless other dumb petty criminals in the world.

Sounds alright really. Less dystopian than living in Google's car park. Doesn't work with dog or family and I'm not sure about being stuck near train stations at destinations, folding bicycle would improve things. Not remotely surprised that he's a programmer.

This is essentially living subsidised by the train company who didn't expect someone to take an unlimited train ticket quite that literally. One guy doing this could be interpreted as marketing. A hundred would focus the operator's mind on words like "fair use". Drawing attention to himself like this may mark the end of this experience.
Yes. DB doesn’t operate any sleeper cars. All sleepers operating in Germany are by international corporations (ÖBB, etc). But they aren’t covered by a DB BahnCard 100.

The trains he mentions are just regular ICEs that operate for some overnight trips.

I can imagine how this can be reasonably comfortable in an older ICE1 in first class, but i wouldn’t want to sleep on ICE4 seats for extended periods of time

> My experience with most "neo HDLs" is that they are all code generators which make the tedious part easy and don't really end up touching the hard part.

That's generally make take too, only I'd say they make some of the hard parts harder.

When you're getting into timing, power and area optimizations it's important to have a good mental mapping from the HDL you're writing to the circuitry (or FPGA configuration) being produced. For some optimizations you also need to smash through neat abstractions.

Often these new HDLs abstract away more from the circuitry so you have to carry more things in your head to think through these optimizations. They aim to work out the details for you but those details matter and when you only have indirect control over them can make things more difficult.

In software we're generally happy to accept a drop in performance or an increase in memory usage to gain powerful abstractions and increase developer productivity. In hardware this is often less acceptable (in particular if you're building high-performance CPU, GPU, AI accelerators etc).

From my brief look at the front page of the Filament website I do like the type system but from experience building real CPUs (I worked on the A55, A510 and E1 at arm, focussed on memory systems and now work on Ibex: https://github.com/lowrisc/ibex amongst other things) bugs and other issues around pipelining are often to do with stall conditions, I wonder how well it can handle that? Stall conditions were large and complex and also where you had to do lots of those abstraction busting optimisations to meet timing so it's critical you have a strong grasp of the critical paths being produced in the circuitry. My fear with Filament is it abstracts a bunch of that away.

Of course the entire hardware world isn't CPUs, there could well be areas of design this kind of language works well. In particular I can see it's useful for prototyping/design exploration type work.
From an investor standpoint, if I were risking that much momey on a high risk venture, I would want that kind of return to make it worth while and cover the others that don't make it.
Also not saying it's a great idea, but a remote worker could live there just fine. Technically, I mean. But why staying in a dead area if you can travel for the same money? So the dead area will probably stay dead... (and let's not get into that)
