Anecdotally, in my architecture class (granted a decade and a half ago) we had to implement a 4-bit microcontroller from scratch. Using an actual bread board, wires, and primitive chips. We implemented those instructions from scratch given binary input switches and a manual clock. It was a simple instruction set (just ADD, SUB, STORE, RETRIEVE, SHIFT, that sort of thing) but we had to learn everything in depth.

I feel in addition to other valid comments like IP, smaller scope, etc. the simpler instruction set may have something to do with how the newer instruction sets hold your hand a lot. I always thought the point of architecture was to have to learn how things like half-adders, shift registers, and all those work and if the instruction set does it all for you, what's the point?
So what are you supposed to say instead of "can I get"? "Can I have"? Or something else? I had no idea this was considered "American".

I suspect that most of the "hate" comes from a small group of sour-faced vinegar tits who just love to put their pet peeves front and centre every chance they get to "correct" people, so they can masturbate about how smart they are and how dumb the unwashed masses are. Meanwhile, most people could care less.
Rust also has traits, and no struct inheritance. I think it works quite well.
Nonsense. Your site is obviously running if it served the page that wants the fonts, so there's absolutely no way they're more reliable than the site that uses it.

Meanwhile, that third-party is effectively paying your bandwidth bill: You might want to trade some reliability in exchange for a lower bandwidth bill, but you should wonder why exactly that third-party is willing to pay your bandwidth bill at all.
It might be more efficient (and effective) for the filtering to happen closest to where the water is drank. If it happens at the treatment plant, then you end up filtering lots of water that is used to water lawns, shower, etc. Only a small percentage is used for drinking.
I switched to a home water still, which I greatly prefer. No risk of additional microplastics from plastic filters.

The home distilled water tastes so good, much better than store bought that often sits in plastic jugs for weeks.

I do not add any additional minerals, the amount of magnesium, iron, and sodium in drinking water is only like ~5-10% of a person's daily requirement, and I get plenty of those from vegetables.

Has anyone had this situation? I created a project and did everything I could, but on my own, I no longer have the strength to take it to the next level. I already work on it 24/7 and put all my knowledge and skills into it. At the same time, I feel that the project has huge potential, but I can't do anything more at the moment. What should I do?

I agree, but not necessarily that AI will make results better. Search engines already rely heavily on heuristics, and I really doubt that LLMs or vector databases are going to improve results in any combination. At best, they will overfit results to the lowest common denominator.

What I want is a search engine that supports full-text queries with exact matches. This quite literally no longer exists anywhere, and maybe that's because it just doesn't scale. Nevertheless, I would find a lot more value in a search engine that returns exact matches. Someone will probably reply saying that Kagi, DDG, or The Google do exact matches with quotes, but this is not true. When it works, you've just gotten lucky. At best, it will filter out inexact matches, but that doesn't mean it will actually return every exact match in the index.

The premise here is flawed. Due to zoning, most housing in SF / the Bay is not dense. The post I originally replied to blamed union labor for the price of housing. For non-dense housing, land is a huge portion of the price.

Yes, as a thought experiment, you could build an infinitely tall building which pushes the per unit cost for land to zero. That’s not what’s happening in SF, and it has nothing to do with labor. Another obvious point: building tall buildings requires more engineering, more expensive materials, more difficult labor, and more safety than small ones.

Your argument is all pointless hypotheticals. Put up or shut up: show me the numbers that say labor is driving the price of housing in SF. You’ve done nothing to support the idea that labor is driving the actual costs of real housing built in SF.
I don’t think privacy was ever Kagi’s value prop. That’s Brave. Kagi’s value prop is that it’s search that actually works.

That's what this thread is about. Geohot is doing that.
Of course you're right that everything starts with the first step, but it increasingly seems that we're averse to even taking that step. And I'd also argue that the dramatic differences in economic and technological 'power' available today also must change what is considered a large scale. Skyscrapers, for one example, were once a visionary undertaking but have long since become completely mundane construction/engineering projects.

The Line was designed to be literally modular, being made up of 135 modules of less than a km in length each. That such a "vision" is considered exceptional, to the point of even not being realistic, is something that to me feels like a complete deterioration of the vision and ambition in society.
Instead of gesturing at flawed analogies, let's return to the actual issue at hand. Do you think that agents more intelligent than humans are impossible or at least extremely unlikely to come into existence in the future? Or that such super-human intelligent agents are unlikely to have goals that are dangerous to humans? Or that they would be incapable of pursuing such goals?

Also, it seems obvious that the standard of evidence that "AI could cause extinction" can't be observing an extinction level event, because at that point it would be too late. Considering that preventive measures would take time and safety margin, which level of evidence would be sufficient to motivate serious countermeasures?
> Companies are firing customer service people.

And they're starting to reap the rewards:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/marisagarcia/2024/02/19/what-ai...

AI customer service chatbots are just as prone to hallucination as any other AI chatbot, and companies are finding out that they're liable when their AIs lie to their customers. As we see more companies replacing humans with AIs, we're going to start to see more companies being found liable for the claims that their AIs spun out of whole cloth.

We haven't seen an AI yet which can consistently reproduce the truth, rather than something that sounds a lot like something that could be the truth. When someone makes an AI which is reliably just a knowledge engine, which can take an input, process it, and accurately convey the knowledge available in that input, then that will be a killer app; when an AI can take a company's documentation and summarize and condense it for easier consumption, that AI will be insanely popular in business cases both internal and external. Until then, these customer-service-replacing AI chatbots are going to prove to be more and more of a maintenance and liability headache.

> A critical part of a solar sail spacecraft is its booms. Booms support the sail material; the lighter and stronger they are, the more effective the spacecraft will be. Though solar sails are much lighter than other spacecraft, the weight of the booms is still a hindrance.

...

> “Booms have tended to be either heavy and metallic or made of lightweight composite with a bulky design – neither of which work well for today’s small spacecraft.” / Keats Wilkie, ACS3 principal investigator, NASA

I'd expect that the lack of weight and also the limited force the solar wind applies to the sail would result in minimal structural strength requirements for the boom. Am I missing something?
In case of Palo Alto Networks TLS interception wasn't the only, or even main, use in many places.

Among reasons one might have seen them was centralised control plane, multipoint VPNs, yes deep-packet inspection (including for simply checking if the expected protocol was running on given traffic), they could be also simply used as pretty advanced router+firewall setup.
> Similarly, everyone puts 1 GbE ports on their hardware but very few things will come with 2.5 Gbps or 10 Gbps Ethernet ports.

My gaming rig and my Mac Studio both came with 10Gbe. My laptop thunderbolt dock also has 10Gbe.

There's a lot of really reasonably priced switches with 2.5Gbe. For example a 10 port for $90 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CT2F3ZDM

It seems silly to be so limited to 1Gbe right now. All my switches are 2.5 and I wouldn't do less on a new install.

Wait - you have a HPWH connected to a hydronic floor system? That's an extremely inappropriate setup - the heatpump on a rheem is probably like ~4000 BTU/hr, and it's pulling the heat from the conditioned space, then you're drawing it off and pumping it back into the space via the floor. If you don't have an air-to-water heatpump and don't want fossil fuels, just use an electric boiler.

I guess there's a hybrid model where you're able to select exactly what you're depending on and pull it in dynamically at build/package time.

I've thought a little about, for example, building something that could slice just the needed utility functions out of a Shell utility library. (Not really for minimizing the dependency graph--just for reducing the source-time overhead of parsing a large utility library that you only want a few functions from.)

Would obviously need a lot of toolchain work to really operationalize broadly.

I can at least imagine the first few steps of how I might be able to build a Nix expression that, say, depends on the source of some other library and runs a few tools to find and extract a specific function and the other (manually-identified) bits of source necessary to build a ~library with just the one function, and then let the primary project depend on that. It smells like a fair bit of work, but not so much that I wouldn't try doing it if the complexity/stability of the dependency graph was causing me trouble?

First OSM existed and was already quite good many years before we got access to Bing imagery (2010). Undoubtedly there was a big boost in some types of mapping due to a reasonable quality global imagery source being available, mainly buildings, but it isn't as if we couldn't have continued without it.

Since then a lot of things have changed and the global imagery layers (currently Bing, ESRI and mapbox, all three using Maxar for a significant part) are, in developed parts of the world, mainly just used as a lesser quality fallback. As an example where I'm making right now, I'm using state level, a federal and a global (non-Bing) imagery.
Well, you should see the link :) Having ATS-based screening or research-based screening would be fantastic. But this is a thin wrapper on an LLM.

I build AI products in a known company and experiment on my own time. It is really easy to build a product like this without aligning it to solid research or recruiter ATSs. I know the value of this alignment because part of my job is interviewing candidates for my team. Easy isn’t bad, of course.

The tool above is undercooked. It’s a very cool week-long project or a nice back burner one. I have nothing against that, good on GP for building it.

My point was that the presentation and pricing was a bit aggrandizing. Given what the project is, which is indeed similar to running a query with ChatGPT on a resume as it mainly does structured prompting, it has a better shot at being a $1 product. For more, it needs some of the things you and I mentioned.
Sharing it is often the only reason why it has value in the first place. If the authors of Gangnam Style or The Fox or any other silly viral thing hadn’t shared them they would have had zero value.
What do you think mind control is? Think President Trump but without the self-defeating flaws, with an ability to stick to plans, and most importantly the ability to pay personal attention to each follower to further increase the level of trust and commitment. Not Harry Potter.

Is it really true that Wikipedia doesn’t have a formal, credible, method of determining whether a “consensus” exists?
Ya there isn't much here to dispute. However one side effect of this type of valuation was essentially the trust in measurement systems.

This created barriers to entry for valuation of money in the form of owning a scale that required higher precision in weight estimation. On top of that one can imagine that dispute that a merchants scale (this still probably happens even today) cheats was most likely common place.

It's fairly easy to imagine a cleverly placed point of additional friction can "tip the scales" in a merchants favor.

All that to say it would have been good to be in the "measurement" business way back in the day. Hell it's still a good business today, but we need it far less for the exchange of coinage/money which I think is a pretty great thing.

40 years ago the average teacher's salary was $24,000. A hotel room was around $40. Maybe less for something like a Motel 6, but for a typical vacation hotel, $40. That's just for the room, add in gas, meals, activities and you would easily have another $40 a day. So $80/day * 30 days = $2,400.

Your friend's father may have spent 1/10th of his salary on a road trip vacation every year, but that was not typical.

My anecdotal experience growing up in the 70's and 80's matches the parent comment. Vacation meant driving to grandma's house. I did not take a "real" vacation until I was in my 30's. Eating at a restaurant was something you did a few times a year. Lifestyle expectations really have changed.
so, quickly, most pots are made of two materials, a glaze and a clay body; the sound a pot makes when you strike it is a good proxy for the fit of these two materials... if you looked into this in detail you would discover that the larger North American audience has little understanding of good vs bad ceramics which makes it difficult to sell high quality ceramics here. The asian market is much better attuned to what make a pot good vs bad
