To me, the point is when something I write has tor each for BLAS or LAPACK and every single user seems to want it to work with a different library (ATLAS, OpenBLAS, MKL, Accelerate.framework, vanilla BLAS, cuBLAS)… Then, combine that with the various FFT libraries flavours, wherever the fuck hdf5 and NetCDF are, and which goddamned version of MPI they want to use. Not mentioning some computers where they insist on using Intel’s compilers. Or, dog saves us, Cray.

Getting this to work is a major pain, we cannot expect the users to figure it out themselves, and we cannot list all the possible combinations in a Makefile.

We tried several fancy build systems, and every single one breaks in more or less subtle ways.
That is a crazy situation, which I've never even contemplated!

Spicy take.

The Supreme Court is clearly unhinged and monstrously outdated. Checks and balances? Lol.

> There's a reason why everyone bets on the USA

Because a dying empire is liable to do just about anything to get what it wants. Genocide, mass murder, arming your enemies, blackmail on a global scale, sanctions that murder millions, wrecking the climate, criminalizing abortion - nothing is off the table.

Among many other reasons, that's why the world has viewed America as the number 1 threat to democracy, world peace, and stability every single year since 2003. "Everyone bets on the USA" to fuck shit up. That's not an exaggeration, though American's never believe it. It's not close either. We're number 1.

Very few people trust American regulation; whether on food, chemicals, privacy or anything else. We are a global laughing stock; a stark example of why unregulated capitalism is so dangerous.

There's a reason why America's water quality is among the worst in the developed world. There's a reason why we're mocked world-wide. There's a reason why our Presidential 'options' are the two most unpopular politicians in the country for three elections running, and it's not cause our system is working so well.

I don't know about anyone else, but if they don't have me do at least a baker's dozen worth of interviews, then I start to worry they don't properly value me.

You need to wine and dine me with multiple phone calls, technical interviews, all-day in-person interviews, and interrogating all of my references before I'll even think of playing hard to get by threatening to leave the negotiating table in order to get my fair share of TC and ultimately agree to join your company and stay overnight on a major production screw(up).
So as of the Broadcom acquisition, ESXi is no longer the recommended route for anything, but especially not personal self hosted projects.

Instead, proxmox is a good, free, open source hypervisor alternative. One nice thing about it is that because it’s really linux under the hood, you can just directly host docker containers in proxmox. I would say that is the recommended route if you have a spare machine available.

If you don't have a spare machine available and want to host on your machine, then you can use docker on Windows with WSL, or you can create a Ubuntu VM, and use that. If you have no linux experience I’d recommend going the Ubuntu desktop route for a VM. While Ubuntu server is lightweight, it’s also a huge learning curve going from a full service GUI to foreign CLI-only OS, that has many fewer guardrails.

I also was only familiar with Windows, and found Ubuntu server to be kinda overwhelming. It’s kinda like being dropped in the middle of the pacific and told to swim to the nearest shore, but you don’t have a GPS or food, and only the stars to guide you. After spending a few months with desktop I was able to graduate to cli only, tho I do still sometimes pine for that familiar GUI.

"Fair judgement by an AI". That's sound negligently optimistic :D
These kinds of discussions always leaves me wondering if people consider how actual humans learn their craft, constantly studying and mimicking others. Inspiration is to use existing experiences however mixed together, while originality comes from an input or an experience that others have yet to use.

"Write a sad song about the MIT license" is certainly such new input, and if I was commissioned to write the song it would be based on inspiration (i.e., "use training on") music I have heard or studied. And yes, none of the musicians I have listened to or have studied will benefit from the endless money fountain I'd acquire from composing such song.

I have, in all sincerity, been misunderstood less by GPT-2 than you display with that.

You wrote:

> You don't care about Palestinians but you expect the world to care about Israel, despite committing obvious warcrimes.

False. I thought this was clear from the metaphor I chose to use (which is, of course, why I chose to use it). Hint: who might be the elephants who are fighting, and who might be the grass who is getting trodden on?

(Answer: civilians are the grass, combatants are the elephants — and it case even that was not clear, note that I did not say whose civilians and whose combatants, this is deliberated because the answer to that is simply "yes").

> I very much want peace for both sides, a stable society and good life for everyone, Arab and Israeli. You clearly don't share that wish. You have no morals, no moral authority, and what you are doing is putting Israel's future at greater risk than Hamas could, but you're so shortsighted and self-centred you're blinded to that.

False. That first sentence, before you threw insults at me due to you painting a picture of me in your mind and arguing with that without testing it against reality, is in fact a wish that I share.

But unlike you demonstrate here, I am not — or try not to be — so hubristic to think I can read the inner state of others' minds, especially not those who disagree with me. I suggest reasons that can be investigated, tested, and allow for them to be refuted if false. I will prefer to say "it sounds like you think ${foo}?" rather than a blunt "you think ${foo}". Note the second part of my original response, where I showed you I was unclear which side you were trying to support: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39920847

Furthermore, I know that I know nothing about international geopolitics — an easy thing to determine as I have literally zero political or military education — and thus the free version of ChatGPT is genuinely going to less wrong than me about any possible way to improve this situation. So while I want peace and liberty, I do not presume (any longer) to suggest a way forward:

«… ἔοικα γοῦν τούτου γε σμικρῷ τινι αὐτῷ τούτῳ σοφώτερος εἶναι, ὅτι ἃ μὴ οἶδα οὐδὲ οἴομαι εἰδέναι.»

> So ignore what other people think - make your own point based on facts.

If I ignored what other people think, I would be like you: confused by downvotes, and substituting my own imagination for genuine curiosity as to why.

And that, right there, that is my point. (I wonder if you will read it and gain insight into my mind, or reply in further confusion? Your mind is clearly alien to me, so I do not know).

Hertz's loss is my gain: bought a 2023 Chevy Bolt EUV in excellent condition with only 9k miles on it from the Hertz used car lot. Car was priced $8500 below MSRP. That's roughly 30% depreciation, more than the average first year hit of 15% to 20% for ICE vehicles.

Wonderful car, I love it. I quickly adapted to one-pedal mode where instead of using brakes the car's motors become generators that recharge the battery when slowing to a stop. The quiet ride and instant throttle response beat gasoline cars by a mile, I'll never go back. GM engineers did a wonderful job with the ergonomics, it has just the right mix of traditional buttons for AC/heat and radio, speedometer cluster, and a large easy-to-use and responsive touch screen. The only drawback is it is slow to recharge (about 9 hours), making long trips impractical. For us it's a great second car for local and regional use.

At that point, is it AI generated?? That feels like an entirely different category to me

(like it's sort of no difference than paying someone to voice something and share it)

I think the stuff that is completely generated with no human in the loop is a different category for me because it can be used for things at scale like, bots on social media, or ads in a podcast generated just for you, etc. As long as there is still a human in the loop making the editing decisions, it feels not categorically different from the world we have today.

I find trusting AI to detect misinformation to present essentially the same problem as using AI to spread it - both cases require implicit trust in an untrustworthy system, and both remove the impetus to educate people and have them practice critical thinking and skepticism (as opposed to cynicism and contrarianism) themselves.

Although there was a paper posted here recently that suggested AI was effective at deprogramming conspiracy theory[0,1]. No idea about its credibility but claims like being able to reduce belief in conspiracy theory by "20%" seem iffy to me.

The most effective system I've seen so far, ironically (given who now runs the site) is the community notes on Twitter. But even that gets gamed by activists and bad faith actors. Still I think removing human beings from the loop isn't always helpful.

A non-urbanist counterpoint: here in Canada, the federal government has been making big strides towards $10/day daycares. No anti-car. Just extra payments to daycares. We live in an urban area (middle of Toronto), succedsfully raising children, lots of childcares around, and daycare costs have gone down by 50%. No need to move to the suburbs.

One interesting aspect of childcares in this area: they buy out an entire house. I believe that a major part of making a childcare work financially is to use it to cover a mortgage/invest in real estate. Without that, there is very little profit to be made.

> Rich people can donate to poor people regardless of the credit card situation.

While this is true my idea was more of a wide scale protest or behavioral art to make people aware of how bad the credit card system is for the poor. I know it isn't going to solve poverty but it might raise awareness about something not everyone knows about.

The other side is also that this is great for card users because we're the price sensitive side of the transaction. I feel like this dynamic is rarely talked about when it comes to two sided transactions. Businesses can't "just pass it to the consumer" is a lot of cases and just have to eat it because businesses don't have that kind of pricing power.

This is how Doordash works on the restaurant side, they can't charge you the customer 20-30% of gross on orders, everyone would stop ordering. So mostly they just have to eat it or lose those sales. Some places choose to lose, some choose to raise prices on DD if they can but mostly they eat it.

I really don't think this is true. The overwhelming majority of ads are just predatory and exploit all sort of psychological cues and tricks, like false association, just to sell more Product. Coke is one of the largest advertisers in the world, and a perfect example of this. They regularly imply that extremely healthy individuals, the sort that would never touch a Coke in real life, are avid Coke drinkers, implicitly suggesting that if you drink Coke - you can also be like them.

This clip [1] where Coke managed to get a couple of bottles placed in front of Ronaldo during a presser is awesome. A visibly agitated Ronaldo places them aside out of the frame, grabs a water, holds it up, says 'Agua!' and the carries on. But Coke is so dependent on these false associations, that that one little event saw them lose some $4 billion in market capitalization! Imagine if advertising wasn't a thing, and people only associated Coke with the sort of people who regularly drink Coke. The world be a much better, and healthier, place.

And Coke, as scummy as they are, are one of the less scummy advertisers in the advertising world - such as it is.
