>I think there's a fourth, which in my opinion is even more world shattering than the others -- the replicator. It often was shown as a novelty device to make food or warm beverages, but the ability to convert energy into any needed material would instantly transform the world into a post-scarcity, post-economic future.

IIRC, in Star Trek, the replicator does not convert energy into needed material: it simply reorganizes existing molecules into a new form.

So, for instance, you can't use it to make yourself a bunch of gold: you could use it to convert a bunch of gold jewelry into gold bars, or vice-versa, but you would need some actual gold. It won't convert lead into gold. I think I heard or read somewhere in the lore (maybe non-canon) that the food replicators needed supplies of biochemical ingredients to use for making food. They could get that from various places, including breaking down the waste of the crewmembers, but they couldn't just conjure food out of nothing using pure energy.

It's an innocent enough question. I don't have 40 minutes to watch it now, and the answer will determine if I bother to watch it at all later today.
You can’t convince me he isn’t responding to the meme of celebrating “hitting the wall day”. I can’t comment on every point he brings up here but I work for a company doing very well reading legal documents. Myth busted.
The history[1] section in the README file contains a description of how they did it. In summary, it seems they debugged GTA3 and wrote their stub implementations until the game was all reimplemented, presumably with only the assets from Rockstar’s GTA3.

Why not just make shims to migrate dbs for future compatibility? So you could read db 1.0 in v2.0 but only insofar as to migrate it to v2. The implication that you don't want to promise backwards read compatibility feels antithetical to a db driver.

For example, if I have an ancient mssql db that was started in 2001, I'm confident that I can grab the latest mssql driver and still use it. I don't have to track down mssql 2007 to migrate incrementally. Not sure about postgres or mysql but I assume it's the same there. Sqlite is definitely backwards read compatible.
Microsoft's TTD handles multiple threads on multiple cores, because they instrument reads. But that's high overhead.

I'd like to know more about what the embedded tools do. I see SourcePoint supports multicore x86, but the data volume looks high so I suspect they can't handle workloads that run for minutes or hours. Also it's not clear to me which of these tools can reproduce the state of memory at every point in the past.

Basically I don't think you can do low-overhead record and replay without hardware support like Intel's QuickRec project. "Capture all memory traffic" is not going to scale.
i wonder what could be the most interesting use case of this?

The Sense Common
The Sense Common is a place where people and organizations that foster common sense, mindset, self-reliance, and breaking with the norms are aggregated and shared.
Well, I'd have said so too, but
perhaps it's how they've defined the speed. GPUs are generally slower than CPUs when it comes to clock speeds, it's just that they're much faster when hundreds of them are run in parallel, it being the usual situation.

You've raised a good point through, tables/charts of this type should be footnoted with definitions/conditions etc., and of necessity should only be considered high-level overviews—a bit like the Periodic Table which contains only key information about the elements.

That said, I'd like to see a more precise version of this table. There are good examples to follow, one often comes across really good lab posters like this where the main chart is actually footnoted with smaller charts detailing the specifics of objects to avoid clutter and or to represent info that would otherwise have had to be projected in 3D views.

Edit: incidentally, I find it annoying that so many authors of scientific papers fail to define and label graph axes properly, same with equation terms. It's all very well for professionals to resort to jargon and shorthand when talking amongst themselves (I even do it myself), as they are dealing with their subjects on a daily basis but it's a different matter in publications where papers are read by a wider audience.
> individual applications can expose ways for themselves to be customized.

They do. That way is exposing files in /etc that the administrator account can edit.
There’s an option, simple view on connection or something, that eliminates much of the hierarchy.
I want distros to make an operating system that actually works and doesn't need to be fiddled with. Hardware owners shouldn't have to be the ones fixing the operating system. Most people just want their computer to work and don't want to learn about the internals of how it works. If a user really cares about changing the internals he can make his own operating system.

>Isn't that arguing for the iOS-ification of Linux?

Linux distros could learn a thing or two (or 100) from how iOS handles security.
That must be the laziest thing i've ever seen :facepalm:
Show HN: AI-generated quizzes you can play live with friends
I hope this is substantial enough for HN! I made an app that uses GPT 3.5 to create pub quiz-style trivia competitions on any topic you want, then let you play them real time with friends.

It combines a lot of things I wanted to try out:

* A web app with realtime engagement between users. I'm using Ably Realtime to keep track of quiz winners, communication during the game, sharing answers, etc... That's been really interesting, although I'm a bit surprised how fast the messages add up when you're playing multiplayer. If I spend a day developing and playing quizzes regularly through the day I can use up to 70k or more Ably messages, which will be a problem with scale.

* Something using AI in more than one way. So, while you can use GPT to create quizzes, it also creates a running quiz master commentary and it creates little quirky awards for quiz winners in multiplayer quizzes. I have lots more ideas for things to add, though, if people like this.

* Making a tiny, fast-loading app. I'm not using any frameworks at all, and my own code and images add up to something around 50k total. However - the moment I had to add some libraries like Ably and Firebase the size just ballooned. Connecting to those also seems to be pretty slow. Overall this goal absolutely failed at all fronts.

* Make something my family can do together when we sit around with our noses in our phones anyways. This actually has worked and the first time I pulled it out we played and had fun with it for ages!

Some of the fun is to do quizzes on super narrow topics. You can easily have a fun quiz about MySql, Reddit drama, your favorite cryptocurrency, vacationing in Honduras, a favorite kind of fish or anything else comes to mind.

If you ask for something the LLM doesn't know, it will hallucinate something up. I'm not sure if I can/want to remove that, but might add an indicator with the AIs self-assessment of whether a topic will lead to hallucinations or not, but at the moment GPT 3.5 is quite bad at that!

Hope you'll enjoy it. That is https://qaiz.app again.
The 60s version of Star Trek just wasn't very well thought out, I think.

Thousands of people on the Google dole all trying to look busy and appear indispensible.

I think if you've ever read self help books, the content is quite similar. It is the kind of writing that seems insightful at first glance because it restates somewhat obvious things in new ways.

I'm not saying that his arguments are 'wrong' persay, it's just that it's not particularly original or interesting.
> If they wanted it in the community edition, they'd simply copy the implementation from the paid version. […] Not sure why you're so up in arms about this.

Because they don’t want the feature in the free version even if someone gave it to them.

So when you invest in open-core, you don’t get incremental improvements as people collectively make an effort, like open-source. You get incremental improvements by eventually switching to the paid version.
Why don’t you say the same about Hasidic Jewish communities? Or you wouldn’t be so okay to be labeled antisemitic?
They’ll both likely work for a long time. The M3 will probably get an extra year of releases over the M2 at this point, just because it’s a year newer.

They’ll both easily get 5 years, but no computer is “future proof”, especially not ones using an SOC that can’t be upgraded over time. It might be good for a decade, but eventually a future will come that will demand an upgrade for one reason or another, unless she uses it offline (making security a non-issue) and gets very lucky with it never having an issue once parts are no longer available.
And 50% who lives in apartments never will, so they will be dependent on public infrastructure, where charging is more expensive than taking gas, thus making no sense to buy BEV.
Unfortunately these files in /etc usually can only be edited by root. What could be done is allow a user from the administrator group to edit such files.
Interesting product. It seems they ported some feature from the Versal family, like the hard LPDDR controller and the new XP5IO, so not just a cut down version of the bigger Artix
Seed oils generally refers to things like sunflower oil, soybean oil, safflower oil, vegetable oil, etc.

The best mass produced oils are probably olive and avocado.

I can do this with two lines in my nginx config. I have no idea why I would ever consider using another service for this if all it does is rate limiting.

Also, 100ms is not fast.
This complaint has been levelled against Java (and small talk earlier than that) since forever and it made no sense back in the 1990s either. Nobody complains about the Wild West of interfaces on web apps.

On a mobile I kind of get it because having apps work in similar ways eases the learning curve (I.e burger menus etc), but all the UI paradigms being used in dbeaver are the same as any other desktop app.

I appreciate the fact that it works identically on Linux as it does Windows (and presumably MacOS). Not even Microsoft maintain consistent use of widgets within their operating system, you still stumble across windows 3.0 looking screens in windows 11.

I say…it’s good that dbeaver eschews native widgets
ChatGPT is happy to describe people if it has the option to give a flattering description. Our current chatbots' basic relation to humanity is flattery.
I tend to think licenses will be required to train models made available to the public. The tech companies have deep pockets and lawyers, but so do the big media companies. And the big media companies have a more effective propaganda arm. My precedent would be Google Books, where a lawsuit similar to the ones we are seeing now shut down Google's plans.

Although it would be hilarious to think what would happen if the news industry went to war for instance, feeding false information to the AI scrapers making them look ridiculous.

I think it also ties into not wanting AI to be trained on AI generated content. The winners will want to license original sources, and licenses work both ways so you can sue if paid for clean data and got dirty.
You don't just pick up get out of DDoS free cards, those things cost thousands!
I don’t think anybody would use or develop a system like that. It would put too much responsibility in the hands of the (volunteer) maintainers. Trying to guess what use-case everybody will have is a horrible tooth-pulling and bikesheding exercise that nobody would do for fun.

That said there’s nothing stopping you from trying it. It just seems unlikely to succeed.

DBeaver is somewhat clunky, yes, but for me that's a minor downside since it acts as a Swiss army knife, regardless of what DB I'm trying to access. That saves cognitive load from having to learn multiple tools. Pretty much anything with a JDBC driver is fair game. It being cross platform is a big boon as well since I use all 3 major OS fairly regularly - Mac at work, Windows and Linux at home.

Eh, we could get into how to best explain the Business Source License. Not saying source available is wrong, but I'd say the term is incomplete.

No. There are about 6,150 stations. There are about 57,000 stalls.
To add to this… the ability to explain what is being built and why in a way that your audience will understand. Don’t deep dive on technicals to executives, but rather focus on business value it will provide. But still have the ability to deep dive into the technicals with the audience that wants that, or when an executive might ask for it, and has the understand to hear it. Meeting people at their level is hugely important and it’s up to you to adapt your communication to fit who you’re talking to.

You can make the greatest thing in the world, but if you can’t explain it and tell people why they should care about it, it won’t matter. This often means setting your ego aside and ignoring some really cool stuff you’re proud of, because it will be lost on the audience you’re speaking to. It’s all about what they care about, not what you care about.
You might be grammatically correct but it is much more confusing and funny to speculate about the possibility of European life.

Slightly ironic how you complain that other apps make you forget about content but fiddling with responsive separators and anchor points in monodraw is totally OK :) neat trick though
SchemaSpy can generate static docs based on a live db, and they include pretty good ER diagrams (IMO).

They have a sample on their website (go to the relationships section):

https://schemaspy.org/samples/epivirusurf/

The convenience factor is that you don't need a continuous connection to the db to refer to the diagrams or other docs.
I also worked at AWS, but not in the S3 team. However, I was Tech Evangelist and met with literally thousands of customers over my 6 years tenure. S3 was one of the hottest topics, but I got a sense of how good and robust it was directly from these customers.

What you say resonates really well with me, and what I've heard during these years.
Might I suggest that you might like to keep the bold formatting, but not the font family, font size, line-height, margin, etc…

Yeah, to me TablePlus feels much better to use than anything else honestly, even if it's not open source.
It's a great client and used it for years. But I have some issues. Sometimes the cursor disappear and ctrl-enter stops working. Anyone experienced something similar and know what it could be? I run on a rather minimalistic UI environment and might lack some desktop festures.
As a grey beard programmer who started programming at 9yo in the late 1970s, I have never had to work 60 hr weeks - except for a two week period where I chose to rescue a project that had been mishandled. Only one project had code thrown out and I agreed with it as it really wasn’t our core business and even though it worked it wasn’t a good fit.

The large majority of my career (26.5 yrs now of 35.5 yrs earning) has been as a very senior engineer with multiple patents at a very large formerly SV HQ company.

I never have seen age discrimination - in fact have productive colleges who are nearing 70 (I personally am a long way from even normal us retirement age still) both male and female and still learning and writing great code.

I just thought my anecdote could counter your more dour analysis- although despite that I agree with the heart of your message…

You have to love it to do it for a lifetime.

Also, AI is mostly Artificial and not so intelligent. I do not fear for your generation once management realizes that it isn’t all that.

Social Security is popular, with little controversy, because it is rather equitable: you pay into it while you're working, then you receive benefits when you're retired (or just old). In fact, wealthy people often get more out, because they paid more into it.
Yes and it has appeared that way in sci fi.
Can you elaborate? How does it work without the devices sharing the same Wifi?

I just skimmed the readme. It states a "local network" multiple times. So in this example, the firefighters need a Wifi network to connect the devices. Not because the files are sent over the internet, but because LocalSend doesn't create an ad-hoc network unlike to Airdrop.

So OP: technically yes, but the experience is not quite the same.
Yes, you can run Firefox as its own user. I wrote about this about a decade ago; https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2023/10/24/2

Similarly, I had an interviewer (same place) who just oozed “I despise being here”. Dismissed everything I said and gave me only the last 2 minutes to solve the problem he was supposed go give me. Didn’t bother to check back in with the recruiter after that.

Because each node generates its own key pair and when encrypting a message you choose a random route and you use the keys of the nodes of your route to encrypt each layer.
That's your rebuttal?? The engineers at blackberry were pretty inept and stuck in the past, which is why they're no longer in business. That article contributes nothing towards your claim that the first iPhone was a "technical marvel". I cited an example of a phone released in 2007 that had the same battery tech that Apple had. Was that also a "technical marvel"? And the model before it and the one before that? Apple didn't do anything groundbreaking in the first iPhone except maybe a capacitive touchscreen, which wasn't anything they invented, they were around long before the iphone.
I can afford one. But if it tells me lies and picks up the wrong remote I want a refund, as would most customers spending more than $1000 on pretty much anything. And that's the real issue, I think. The marketing has far surpassed the reality of the actual product. People buy helicopters, and jets, and houses larger than an office building. It's not the cost that's at issue. There's room for bullshit in a chat bot. But there's absolutely zero tolerance for bullshit in a physical device roaming around children.

I think the point of the article is that no one has even presented a workable theory for real AI with real comprehension. LLM isn't AI, regardless of the marketing. Until that theory exists, and is implemented, ideas about what AI will someday grow into are ignoring comprehension. That's a required component if you are using the word "intelligence" outside of fiction.

Doesn't need to be fiddled with? Sure. Can't be fiddled with? No way.

Ditto. Owners shouldn't have to fix it, but they should be able to.

> Most people just want their computer to work and don't want to learn about the internals of how it works.

Most people, sure. So don't make them learn. But don't prevent people from learning if they want to.

> If a user really cares about changing the internals he can make his own operating system.

Wouldn't this mean that incremental improvements wouldn't be possible anymore?

How so specifically?
Yep, same. A recent update introduced a bug where the entire editor window contents disappear on a diagonal. No idea why. Sometimes adding a newline foxes it, sometimes it doesn’t.
Problem is, sometimes you don't need the best-world-class coders, you need cheaper coders to align a button.
It's no more responsibility than what already exists. Telling end users to go and fix the operating system themselves was never acceptable to do.

>Trying to guess what use-case everybody will have is a horrible tooth-pulling and bikesheding exercise that nobody would do for fun.

You seem to be misunderstanding what I am saying. People could still install new applications, or uninstall preexisting applications just like how it works now.

Out of the selected topic, the technical context is amazingly well written and the analysis is strong.
