>Congress hasn't abdicated anything, they've delegated it, and they retain the power to overrule the EPA

Maybe the congress should do this with everything. The president can just make any rule he wants. Or maybe congress should just do their job instead of just delegating away all of their responsibility.
China is building renewables and nuclear at a rate faster than the entire world, and their emissions are set to peak years earlier than expected. I wish the US was moving anywhere near as quickly.
I'm struggling to imagine people ever blaming the AI. They're already willing to storm the capital (and more?) to keep their cannot-be-blamed-theyre-only-objects guns.

Rather, my guess is it'll devolve into futile attempts to trace attribution back to the humans who were using the AI.
Good point! I'll edit my comment.
Making a LSP Server in Go
Any rogue AI, if it proves to be a danger, will still need to maintain its servers somehow. So to be a danger it either needs to get humans to do what it wants, in which case it can bomb things just as well with manned fighters, or develop its own robots and manufacturing, in which case it can build its own fighters.

We ought to worry that these will let General Ripper go rogue more easily or an adversary hack them, but I don't think this moves the needle at all one whether advanced AIs could be dangerous.
Pretty much, yes. Personally I don't mind the idea of sucking on the government teat - seems pretty reasonable.

But when you're a libertarian doing it - I just have to laugh.

Ditto Tesla. It's not a coincidence that all these guys are suffering the same hypocrisy.
I agree preventing DELETE and UPDATE without predicates would be a useful server configuration.

And you don't even need special syntax, it just forces someone to write DELETE * FROM [customers] WHERE 1=1 to satisfy the need for a predicate.
I got curious and searched up your examples. While the StarBook looks like the most compelling alternative to the Framework laptop with coreboot and good repairability they don't seem to feature any modular ports, which is arguably what sells the Framework laptop for some people. Even for me, the thought of being able to swap out a USB-C charge port for a SD card reader is very appealing.

The other one, the PrimeBook Circular, doesn't appear to be on sale anymore? Their website is gone and an empty parking page loads.
I'm talking about translating English into Georgian for Georgian speakers, thanks to neural networks there are less reasons to learn the dominant international language as such protecting smaller languages.
Such optimisation would apply equally to the more dense processes, though.

Nope. I love Ryan Dahl, but code filled with JSdoc comments that needlessly replicate type information already in the code, and mandatory descriptions for every variable (often used as a substitute for proper naming) has a really low signal:noise ratio.
Woah, where?!

I can't seem to find anything on memristors being on chip or really being in solid state anything.

I hope the modest amount of money it took to bribe the FCC commissioners is worth it to them. The FCC allowed 10 or 20 sociopaths to make modest amounts of money while ruining a communication network used by billions.
I believe it was 1989 when Dominos came to Staten Island, NY, for the first time. They opened up in Old Town and the entire staff was migrated from GA. They used pickup trucks with Dominos colors and started hiring drivers.

I was one of them, and the policy sucked ass. There was zero incentive for us to beat 30 minutes, and when we did, the customer was always UNHAPPY that we got there on time and would not get any discounts. The tip always sucked when we beat the clock.

When we didn't beat the clock, we got a decent tip. Our manager was an old fart from GA, and while he didn't say anything to promote speeding, he didn't say anything about not beating the clock. After a few accidents in other shops, the whole thing was trashed, which is when the quality of the driver and tips improved significantly. I also don't recall that it was less busy when the policy was removed. All in all, I don't think anyone liked this policy.
> particularly in these times when knowledge is so vast and there is so much to read.

I come down on the other side of this. The implicit assumption here is that more is better, but it's like drinking from the firehose.

> The principle to keep in mind is "Knowledge for Knowledge sake."

The other position is that knowledge is only useful if it lets you do something that you couldn't do without it.

If you're gaining knowledge for the pleasure of gaining it, and I see no need to justify why one would do this, then whether you read deeply or read widely doesn't make much of a difference.

But if you want to do something with that knowledge, the approach you take should be informed by what you want to do.
In general, yes, but all the chip design companies have already invested a whole lot of time and engineering resources into squeezing as much as possible from each transistor. But those kinds of optimizations are certainly part of why we sometimes see new CPU generations released on the same node.

When it comes to the term "Conspiracy Theory", the stupidity is baked in, as a theory is something proven, not assumed.

Hypothesis > (test) > Theory

The conspiracy among three Physicists, now known as the Manhattan Project, with hundreds of thousands of unknowing participants, with whole new sectors of industries, and supply chains, brought us new medicine, nuclear power, and peace through mutually assured destruction, yet people seem to think of conspiracy as some harebrained concept spun up by halfwits.

We simply iterate on Linux and Wikipedia work.

The principle we hope will work is to out-compete abusive platforms. Textbooks say capitalism requires realistic future profit and growth. The goal is to show Wall Street that profitability of Big Tech advertisement model is doomed.

Forming non-profit collectives we aim to organise alternatives which are superior to existing offerings. So you still end up with a monopoly, just under democratic governance. This is in-line with the thinking at European Commission level, DG Grow [0]. We are trying to invent the tech to form digital collectives which scale beyond millions. Very hard. Plus collective decision making. Then you have self-sovereign citizens owning these collectives, not markets.

Then it's time for them to move on to a new platform.

The fact that people have become dependent is no good argument for keeping the platform around.

And, with that said, if TikTok disappears - a new platform fill its void, as well as other platforms absorbing users. If there's a demand, someone will supply.
Florida's minimum wage is $12/hour. If you work two jobs, say 60 hrs/week, repaying the state for your time in prison would take half of all the money you make. This is unbelievably evil.

Maybe I’ve been doing it wrong my whole career because every project I’ve worked with the engineers eventually said ”Screw this leaky abstraction. Having to know SQL _and_ how the ORM works on top is too much, we’ll just put everything in an ORM.rawQuery(…)”

What a *****!

Starts out with a clear message - "This civilization is dying"

And relinquishes the power of it, bogged down in political and philosophical quagmires.

The language even - "my words on the topic were achieving some resonance" is incredibly passive. An "epiphany" has to fuel personal conviction that sustains through external resistance. Otherwise it's just a thought.
There was a short time where people were making an argument (and it wasn't entirely impossible, either) that on-home solar would "balance out" EV charging so that the overall increased load on the grid would be minimal.

That didn't pan out for various reasons.
Right. There is no proof on either side—either that AI is capable of organically morphing into a super-intelligence or that it inherently isn’t. It’s not formal. It’s people burning cycles telling each other about their intrinsic risk tolerance.

Ask HN: Has anyone else stopped playing video games as an adult?
Somehow I just lost all joy in playing video games. I loved them when I was a kid and throughout high school and college. I'm wondering if this happened anybody else and, if so, why you think it happened, and if there have been any ways that you've rekindled your appreciation for the art form.

I do intend to get back on the horse, it's just hard work trying to overcome the social anxiety of starting to go to the gym all over again, especially when I have all these extra negative voices in my ear and no positive/supportive ones. I go walking (5-10km) pretty much every day and I'm down to a healthy weight, which does help with self-esteem, but I'd much rather be and look strong than thin.

I feel like this thought pattern just assumes all electrical generation will be done the same way as always, from a central source. Two big things are already happening to change this paradigm though.

1) Batteries are allowing us to transmit energy asynchronously

2) Distributed generation with solar

“The grid” needs updates for sure, but it doesn’t need 10x capacity increase. That’s just fud.
That decline is most likely inaccurate due to people not reporting crime because they know the police will do nothing, or due to changing definitions of crime.

I remember some news stories on HN about a California city where a man filmed large-scale exchange of stolen goods (laptops, cell phones, etc.), the police did nothing, and a local news outlet interviewed city hall and found that city hall explicitly instructed the police to do nothing.

Another anecdote on HN was a story about how breaking into a vehicle and stealing things was only illegal if the vehicle's doors were locked. If the thief was caught on camera checking the doors, that was considered proof that the doors were locked. So thieves figured out that there was on proof the doors were locked if they simple broke the glass without even trying the door to see if it was locked.

It doesn't have to be good. What matters is that near peer adversaries see these developments and spend some of their resources on trying on R&D efforts to match ours. An arms race is a non-kinetic way to weaken your enemies before hostilities start. Unfortunately, AK-47s are cheap to produce at scale and our enemies have millions of people to give them to, so regardless of the fancy toys, the military still needs ammo, mines, grenades, rockets, bombs, and napalm to disable enemy soldiers at scale.

I think Facebook did something similar if you typed "congratulations" in a comment.
Re-read the thread, because you're misunderstanding the threat model here.

The starting point was: an attacker has control over the system so that “the end user could be MITM'd already with a root certificate maliciously installed on their device”.

In that case, there's nothing “trusted” on your machine anymore and all bets are off. Doing signature verification in app instead of relying on HTTPS is security theater[1].

[1] or it could be “defense in depth” but that's an argument I'd only accept from someone who really understands what they're talking about, and only in a context where everything else being being done properly. Most of the time “defense in depth” is just an argument for the security theater.
Well, by increasing attack surface you do introduce potentially more vulnerabilities.

And this ain't a fairy tale - lots of stories about AV MITMing traffic, introducing unsecure endpoints, adware, etc.
That's the latest trick in news reporting these days. Sometimes they report the total cost, sometimes the yearly cost, sometimes over ten years. I guess that's part of the effort to make numbers have an emotional effect while making them hard to compare. School buses, football fields, width of a hair, elephants and so on, 2/3rds vs 66%. Most people have no idea how to compare them.

No you don't, API are available to the public and there are plenty of frontends, the API are convenient even you use GPT-4 often.

Trade is conducted by individuals and businesses, not by nation-states. The fact that two parties have agreed to a mutual value-for-value exchange makes it fair by definition, and what is unfair is encumbering some people's commerce in order to serve the interests of some particular political faction.

The proper moral position is for trade to be governed by rational rules that apply consistently regardless of who is trading with whom or what country they are from.
One additional problem with people who write breathless tutorials about doing things with AI is that they are more likely than average to have been written with ChatGPT.

I think it’s not the point that everybody cycles. It would be a great improvement if a lot of people would cycle.

There probably will always be valid reasons that someone wants or has to use a car, but these few valid reasons shoukd not distract from the large number of people who can and in fact want to cycle in many circumstances.

For that though the infrastructure needs to e aimed at the large number of cyclists and not at the small number of valid motor vehicle drivers.

I feel in the moment the priorities are upside down and somehow in a convoluted city where everything has to fight for priority in available space it is somehow acceptable that everyone can use the limited road space for every car travel they want however they want and on the back of that that it is the city planners obligation to provide infrastructure so that car driver can drive in big cities however they want.

I feel that’s not the best use of the available space and not in the best interest of people living in a city centre.
I glanced over the Intel APX spec paper while reading this article.

https://cdrdv2.intel.com/v1/dl/getContent/784266

It looks like it uses the 4-byte EVEX prefix. It would also need 1-2 operand bytes and another register byte.

That's 6-7 bytes for basic 3-register instructions. If you need to do something with an immediate/displacement value on the top 16 registers, that seems like it would be potentially 10-12 bytes long including 4 bytes for the value and 1 byte for the scaled index for displacement.

I'll admit I don't have time to read the article at the moment and I'm wondering if my fast look is wrong. If not, I don't see how the extra registers are going to be worth the massive instruction length.
> concepts implemented and become the norm

I had a coworker some time in the late 90's who was reading the book "Design Patterns". We were working in Java at the time and he remarked how odd it seemed to see a book that was targeted at C++ programmers use terms like "interfaces" which were "Java concepts".
x86 is already legacy. AMD64 deprecated a bunch of the old stuff, but retained it for backward compatibility. This idea of tweaking x64 with new registers and suppressing flag modifications just tells me RISC-V got those things right. But the complexity (circuitry to handle flags) will remain even with this spring cleaning.

I'm still waiting for AMD or Intel to make a RISC-V chip that drops in one of their existing sockets. Yeah, you'll need to replace the BIOS and such but I'm looking to buy a new motherboard anyway.

Arrow Project for Arrow on GitHub
Arrow is a great project that give us many possibilities to manage null values, create composed accessors among many other functionalities. One of the things that I trully enjoy about this project is that it provides an easy way to create code and access values in our data structures using something called optics. This is only an example. Arrow Optics implement a pattern that allows us to use Lens, which is another feature of it, and that enable us to create easy access to complex types that are structured in the form of a tree. I find this project fascinating.
