imo this is largely because of the incentives around the game of school and testing.

If you must wait 20yrs before you can do interesting stuff and you’re evaluated primarily on your ability to maximize your grade then anything that gets in the way of that is an annoying distraction for most at best.

Even if you’re a student predisposed to find applications and the narrative of the discovery interesting you still have to focus on guessing what the test questions will be and just doing those, spending mental cycles on other stuff is a “waste” in that environment.

Once you’re finally free of school only then can you actually learn based on where your curiosity takes you, though at that point most choose not to - the curiosity having been driven out of them.

Makes me think a little bit about the movie the lives of others:

> “Did you know that there are just five types of artists Your guy, Dreyman, is a Type 4, a "hysterical anthropocentrist." Can't bear being alone, always talking, needing friends. That type should never be brought to trial. They thrive on that. Temporary detention is the best way to deal with them. Complete isolation and no set release date. No human contact the whole time, not even with the guards. Good treatment, no harassment, no abuse, no scandals, nothing they could write about later. After 10 months, we release. Suddenly, that guy won't cause us any more trouble.

“Know what the best part is? Most type 4s we've processed in this way never write anything again. Or paint anything, or whatever artists do. And that without any use of force. Just like that. Kind of like a present.”

That’s basically what the GDPR tried to do, and a great plan.

Instead of making the retention of data a good thing, make it toxic, make it risky. You don’t want PII in your logs, on anyone’s workstation or anywhere else it’s not absolutely necessary.

A bit reductionist. IIRC the main reason Docker was phased out because Red Hat wanted to push rootless, daemonless containers, which required CGroups v2, which Docker didn't want to support for the longest time. Since both versions of CGroups can't be enabled simultaneously, and no distro wanted to go without Docker (or at least Docker-like) functionality, CGroups v2 was left in permanent stasis, and so Red Hat started Podman to break the deadlock. There were a laundry list of other technical disagreements (mostly around security) but that was the primary one.

And then once Red Hat distros switched over to CGroups v2, which Podman enabled them to do, it meant that Docker wouldn't really work all that well anymore until they eventually switched to CGroups v2 also (which they eventually did a few years later). So that's why it got removed from the repos, at least originally.
Just to note Reactivity vs. event handling soup and web/desktop are orthogonal.
> aren't we kind of at a point where "predicted in Xyz science fiction novel" is a bit passe?

No. Plenty are wrong. And both science fiction and the technological frontier are constantly advancing. Your argument is close to those who argue everything was predicted in their holy book of choice.
Doom is still under copyright protection last I knew. The source is GPL, but have the assets ever been liberally licensed? I think they're more abandonware.

I'm sure you could still do it, but personally I try to respect copyright strictly for any projects I'm going to share. It just feels annoying to have copyright nonsense hanging over me otherwise.
> Most C programmers use C because they are forced to use it, by technical limitations like lack of compiler access or human limitations like lack of funding, curiosity or motivation.

Or other ecosystem effects; if I want to work on existing kernel code for pretty much any FOSS unix-family OS, C isn't possible to avoid, and AIUI even for all-new code it's still really spotty (like, you can write Linux drivers in Rust now, but only certain kinds of drivers).
Most people with enough shit to lose to own a car won't throw themselves on the grenade of going to prison over this.

The ones that would are either pro-cop (and are willing to overlook an incredible amount of police overreach and abuse, as long as it's directed against the right people), or the counter-culture antifa types that get demonized by the press, and are hated and feared by the first group.

I suppose there's also a few comfortably-privileged libertarian types that talk a big game about these issues, but when push comes to shove, don't actually push.

Thanks, I chose a 3090 instead of 4070ti, it was around $200 cheaper and has 24GB vs 16GB VRAM and a similar performance. The only drawback is the 350W TDP.

I still struggle with the RAM issue on Ollama, where it uses 128GB/128GB RAM for Mixtral 24.6GB, even though Docker limit is set to 90GB.

Docker seems pretty buggy on Windows...

> Boeing's safety record is still good. The only recent deaths are associated with less-trained pilots in the earlier days of the 737 MAX.

This argument makes no sense. A repeatedly faulty plane that has crashed multiple times does not have a "good" safety record just because recoving from that fault is part of pilot training. In fact that's the definition of what I'd call a bad safety record.

Is there some particular reason why this debate isn’t squarely in the spiritual/religious/personal/subjective building on campus and zero in the science building?

I mean, these are all fascinating questions in a “let’s smoke a joint and talk about the meaning of life” sense, I’ve had many such conversations (both with and without the joint) and enjoyed all of them that were of that tenor.

And I can see there being a building on campus between the other two where the topic is ethics and morality: how rigorous can we be about what constitutes acceptable behavior, compassionate behavior, empathetic behavior, kindness and decency. Those things seem much more amenable to some level of rigor: I certainly hope that some version of those ideas can be rigorous enough to admit a consensus, but that seems like a way more realistic goal than defining consciousness. It still poses hard questions: is it ok to eat animals? That’s controversial but seems at least in principle amenable to scientific study of apparent pain or suffering and strategies for minimizing or eliminating it entirely.

I have a sinking suspicion that the real definition of “conscious” is “seems a lot like me”.
Well let's be honest, a human (YOU I assume) couldn't even figure out how to start the game, so if AI can solve it, we're in real trouble.
Think about all the different things Boeing works on, all the details involved in the design of a modern airplane or spacecraft. How is a third party supposed to audit all that, when the designs are so complex and in such a relatively niche field? The most they can do is look for obvious things and make sure the data makes sense.

The problem isn't that the system is corrupt, it's that you're expecting a third party to both be close enough to be intimately familiar with all the details of the airplanes and spacecraft and yet separated enough from the company they're monitoring to not have conflicts of interest.

If you look at the comments in khan academy there are tonnes of people asking for real life applications—that said, they’re given in most of the material there.

Inspiring students (and showing the material can help them in their lives additionally) is one of the most important but difficult parts of teaching: good explanations falling on uninspired ears rarely settle.

And I’d argue the onus is on the teacher to inspire but it’s not something I can say is an easy skill to master.

Succinct explanations can be hammered out but fostering inspiration is a soft skill rarely taught—-and rarely deemed important in the already inspired.
How is it magical thinking? The plan is very explicit and all the parts are available: We build gas peakers that are H2 compatible; we build electrolizers; we upgrade the existing methane storage to be H2 compatible; we store hydrogen and burn it when needed. There is no "magic" there. Hydrogen is needed anyway to decarbonize industrial processes, so the cost for the infrastructure has to be paid.

I think the problem here is they are imagining extreme situations where you genuinely don't have any opportunity to survive without it. Such situations could exist, like in Mao's Red August and a score of other such historical tragedies. But what the commenter is not understanding is that "Morals" matter jack shit in such a situation. "Morals" are a product of civilization, if you are not being treated as human by your society you have no obligation to act as human either.
Things actually changed in 2018 with some implementation details of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Step_Act. Parole is not given, true; but you can earn a bunch of credit days for participating in non-recidivism activities, which - when combined with good behavior - can amount to leaving prison 30-40% early. Not sure about the details after (house arrest or halfway-house may be somewhere in that mix), but not as grim at that point.

This could be an interesting idea, but how would this constrain incorporating the licensed software in a larger piece of software? Either as a library, or a component like a Docker image?

Would it be "viral" in the sense that, if I want to publish software that internally uses a Docker container running software with such a license, my own software can be used only by natural persons?
They're used only as needed. Which is to say, rarely.

> There are always exceptions to any rule

This is not an everyday occurrence except for some occupations. If it happens once a month, it amortizes out to not much. When I lived there, this is when you got a cab, and the surcharge there will be $2.50, for something you do once in a while. Wow, what a scandal /s

In an occupation where you have to drive in lower Manhattan daily, everyone else in your industry also has the extra $15 now too, so you're not really at any competitive disadvantage. And for some of those occupations, the time savings from lower traffic due to the surcharge might actually really be helpful.
Similar experience with Hetzner. They seem to be extremely ban-happy. I get banned when I first sign up for no particular reason other than I tend to have my VPN on. After emailing support and providing identification, I still got banned after changing my billing to use privacy.com
I'm also a happy Vultr customer for many years. The original story was a bummer because it had me thinking where I should take my business and how much of a bother it would be to relocate it. I was perfectly set on doing so.

This later reversal news means I don't have to now. But.. I'm not giving them a big pass. I will look at their services and ToS more carefully from now on out, and have a migration plan in place in case of future hijinks.

You could at least explain why it's a good idea to throw away your savings in investments, rather than a snarky remark.

Generally, most people do not want to lose their savings. For the poorer people, losing their savings might be straight up unaffordable and something to be avoided at all costs.

Deposits made with banks are understood to be very low risk, that is you can always withdraw what you deposited (eg: your savings) short of the entire sky falling. The trade off of course being that your deposits won't spontaneously grow beyond a small interest dividend.

Investments, meanwhile, can just as likely lose you money as well as gain; high-risk high-reward. Whether it's stocks, business ventures, cars, real estate, precious metals, barrels of oil, collectors' items, or whatever, investing is at its core just gambling on future prospects with no guaranteed returns.

If you invest, you should do so only spending money which you are okay losing. Most people are not okay with losing their savings, hence why I'm saying people who invest by spending their savings are hoisting their own petards and ruining their lives sooner or later regardless if a fraudster is involved or not.
I see, thank you. I suppose it also lets you reject keys from hardware platforms that are later determined to be insecure.

The tinfoilhattery which I heard (and regret tangentially supporting on occasion) was that it was a slippery slope towards something like SSO, where some company (1Password, say) is your identity provider. And then other companies might reject your identity because hypothetically 1Password only collects a retinal scan, not also DNA, or somesuch, and now we're in a race to the bottom re: just how authenticated one can be.
So this is a "hack" to talk to a real person at almost every company - the Investor Relations contacts are always staffed, and usually bored. Remember, you are a concerned shareholder, and this issue matters to you. You may only own 1/50th of a share through an index fund, but that still makes you a shareholder.

I've never tried calling, but I've regularly emailed companies, and this always works.

No, a member of the set of local maxima is a a local maximum, just like a member of the set of people is a person, because it is a definite singular.

The plural is also used for indefinite number, so “the set of local maxima” remains correct even if the set has cardinality 1, but a member of the set has definite singular number irrespective of the cardinality of the set.
Saving that human life is the job of the institutions that we all sacrifice a huge portion of our resources and freedoms to.

It's not the job of an individual to keep their property available in case a desperate person needs to steal it in order to survive.

The implication of what you're saying is that any crime is morally justified as long as the perpetrator is doing it in order to survive, and the victim isn't killed. Which is insane.

Fair enough. The essence of my argument is, filter bubbles are bad for democracy because they people’s understanding of consensus and prevent them from encountering any opinions contrary to their own. A personalized chatbot to the extent that it is an extension of filter bubbles, is bad for the same reason.

For the scenario you outlined, sure. If it’s circumscribed and labeled as such, it would be an interesting exercise at least. For the general case, it’s probably not a product people will want.

The issue I see with this is that by gradually Balkanizing our shared body of understanding, it will prevent the exact type of debate you (and I) think was so great from that time.
My last manager wasn't quite to this level, but close. The only way I protected myself from burnout was by realizing early enough that I was definitely going to get laid off, but that largely it was out of my hands, because my manager/director was mental. At one point I posted an Ask HN simply asking how can I tell my manager to back off in a way that doesn't get me fired, because he was so destructive. I'm lucky to have lost that job with my sanity intact. Lunatic.

After I did get laid off, he either blocked me very effectively, or exercised his EU right to be forgotten, because I can't find a public record of him. Although it would be funny to start shitposting his name around out of spite, since those would be the only records that show up.
I think the idea is chase them long enough to tag them with the dart while you’re on their tail, then stop the pursuit.
> You would also be shit out of luck in the next year

Nonsense. In theory, any one person can pay off all the debt, given enough favors. For example, if I was hypothetically $2 in debt to you, but there is only $1 in existence (which was owned by you), I can do you a favor in exchange for that $1, and immediately pay you it back for 50% of the debt. I can repeat this a second time with a second favor, and there is now 0 debt. (It doesn't matter if I started with the $1). In other words, having less money than the debt owed doesn't really matter.

Debt is really just the flip side of money; both a measure of who owes whom a favor.

Now that said, we could go on to debate who owes what and what is fair, but we all know that won't get anywhere...
That's how they nab you for structuring.
