I'd like to know the answer to that as well. Kagi still uses Google for some searches, but mixes it in other stuff. However, I do wonder if Googles search is actually fine, if you use it via Kagi or Ecosia, and its just neutered on Googles own site due to prioritizing advertising.
Is your point that you don't believe that people's concern about rising crime is valid?
> and since Republicans are a majority in Texas

I don't disagree though I do wonder if those days are numbered. Texas cities tend to be a lot more liberal than the more rural areas, and the populations there are growing. I think with the increasing demand for tech in Texas, it's potentially going to bring in a lot of left-leaning people into the cities and their respective suburbs, and I don't know that it will be as clear-cut.
Humans are also pretty poor at this. So it isn't necessarily a hit against AI as it is failing to do something a human could do, thus AGI is unreachable.

I'm beginning to think AGI will be easy, since each individual Human is pretty limited. It's the aggregate that makes Humans achieve anything. Where are the AI models built on groups working together.

Elon wasting too much time on Twitter.

Prev I thought good leaders don't matter (and musk is still bat shit crazy) but plenty of times now I took care of stuff (a team, a product) and made it good.

But keeping it good needs still attention or someone taking over.

That Elon was/is hands on was.critical.

With him spending time on Twitter too, stupidest thing he ever did.
Oh this is interesting. I’d think it is implied enough that there would be no confusion.

My native Turkish might be seeping through though. Thanks for the heads up.
We have completely lost the plot by assuming that just because there are disagreements on somethings then any choice is equally as good as any other. Go is opinionated and it is opinion is wrong.

Not having exceptions (but then having them anyway through panic, but whatever) is a choice - but the other reasonable alternative is the Maybe monad. What Go did is not reasonable. I might be okay if they had been working on getting monads in, but they haven't.

I have a specific hatred for Go because it seems perfectly suited to make me hate programming: it has some really good ideas like fast compile time speeds, being able to cross-compile on any platform and being a systems language without headers.

But then I try to write code in it and so. much. boilerplate.

Hi! I'm Samuel. I have 6+ years as a product manager and 10 in product development (before pm: agile coach, UX designer, and developer). I work closely with engineering teams, supporting them in every way I can, and have contributed code in every role I have ever held. I am very curious and driven to learn, so diving in deep is always a thrill. On the flip side, I regularly tackle ambiguous problems and plan our product and company strategy with the executive team.
True, but they _do_ broadcast their abhorrent thoughts to the world -- its just more subtle, filtered, and through different channels. Its the whole reason people are warned to never meet their heroes -- because they are usually assholes outside of whatever persona they have crafted for themselves publicly. Musk just doesn't care about crafting that persona in the first place.

Look at sports, where even at the "mere" multi-million dollar level, people get changed. The music industry and Hollywood are also famous for people being revealed to be mere human.
I completely agree. But I've replied to someone who's been complaining that they don't get reusable components "from figma" when, in fact, it's the designers choice to not do that (for whatever good or bad reason).
> Ansible playbooks are usually a list of steps to execute in order (imperative)

You can't be declarative all the way down because reality is not declarative.

You can have all modules being declarative but if you need orchestration, it's not declarative anymore unless you create a new abstraction on top of it.

So people keep arguing about declarative vs imperative and fail to specify at which abstraction level they want things to be either.

Yes, it will be more interesting when Viasat or Thales will be doing something in this space. Viasat seems to be on the path to building larger and larger satellites in geosynchronous orbit.
Life arose on Earth really fast after the surface stopped being magma. Since Mars cooled down faster the idea is that it could have spent 100 million of year developing bacteria which were then seeded the Earth as soon as there was liquid water there.

According to Wikipedia, the radiation levels are too high:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_on_Mars#Cosmic_radiation

> Even the hardiest cells known could not possibly survive the cosmic radiation near the surface of Mars since Mars lost its protective magnetosphere and atmosphere.[63][64] After mapping cosmic radiation levels at various depths on Mars, researchers have concluded that over time, any life within the first several meters of the planet's surface would be killed by lethal doses of cosmic radiation.[63][65][66] The team calculated that the cumulative damage to DNA and RNA by cosmic radiation would limit retrieving viable dormant cells on Mars to depths greater than 7.5 meters below the planet's surface.[65] Even the most radiation-tolerant terrestrial bacteria would survive in dormant spore state only 18,000 years at the surface; at 2 meters—the greatest depth at which the ExoMars rover will be capable of reaching—survival time would be 90,000 to half a million years, depending on the type of rock.[67]

very nice. I've recently grown fond of an analogy with programs and the command line. People seem to view health and fitness more from a cli pov while you really need a whole program, scheduled events, interrupts, exceptions, and logs. Let there be logs!
That's what laws are for, for us to decide if actions that are technically possible should be legally possible. Many products exist because of leaks in existing laws around privacy; maybe we tighten those laws up? That's the point of the discussion. In this case, a private company is creating a dystopian dragnet of personal travel information that is a function of the population travel volume that its devices cover.

If the right to privacy arrived at from this discussion kills a product line or a business, oh well. Human rights > profits, broadly speaking.

Given how long it took for Earth to develop multicellular life, Mars was probably pretty dead before it could take off(although it's very likely microbes still exist on Mars). But who knows, maybe Earth was late to the multicellular party, but I doubt it. If Mars did somehow evolve to multicellular life before Earth it's very likely that the multicellular would have been seeded to Earth via asteroids with something akin to a martian tardigrade
Absolutely. Humans are horrible at assessing such things. Statistically we live in one of the most safe and stable societies in human history.

Especially when significant amounts of propaganda - from police unions, bleeds-it-leads media, tough-on-crime politicians, companies trying to explain their quarterly loss as anything other than "our CEO fucked up" - are in play.

The idiot ignores gold confiscation:https://www.usgoldbureau.com/gold-confiscation

She might as well argue that she should have put her money in crack cocaine.
You jest, but I seriously believe we are likely martians. Early panspermia from Mars settles a LOT of astrobiological questions about origin of life and LUCA complexity.

To be clear, Mars’ descent into inhospitality was totally natural and the result of a smaller planet with stripped atmosphere just outside the habitable zone as the Sun cooled. I doubt Martian life developed to be multicellular. But I bet when we go we’ll find fossils of algae colonies and cyanobacteria, and maybe even some living remnants underground.

Charge Robotics | Senior Mechanical Engineer | Full-time | Onsite | SF Bay Area

Hi HN! We’re a YC-backed startup building robots that build large-scale solar farms. We just got back from the first commercial deployment of our system on a real-world solar construction site.

Check out a video of our system here! https://youtu.be/ZZ2fP1Y5Z2E

It turns out that construction companies literally can't build solar fast enough, so what we're doing is a crucial part of switching the grid over to renewable generation. We're looking to bring another talented mechanical engineer onto our small team.

You’ll be a key contributor, helping bring our next generation of mobile solar factory to life.

Come work with us if you love:

* Fast-paced prototype development with software and hardware components

* Making a positive climate impact through your work

* Hacking on massive construction equipment!

I used to work on that stuff (mostly focused on WIM file format). There's probably a file somewhere called setupact.log that gives you tons of detail on what goes wrong. They don't surface a lot of detailed errors to UI, but the logging is usually precise about what fails and why.

We have differing opinions on so much! Fair enough. We simply disagree.

I don't think that the spiraling housing costs across the country can be attributed to local environmental laws.

I don't think that the decreased birth rate can be largely attributed to the housing issue.

I don't think that the decreased birth rate is anything like an existential crisis for the US.

I think that when it comes to laws that address harms your neighbors might inflict on you, the more local those laws are decided, the better (generally speaking).

It is exactly designed to do that. A temperature of 0 this is what you are approximating. The crucial point though is that it is the most likely next word given the proceeding multi-token context, not just the previous token.

I’ve used Viasat before and geosynchronous is never going to be satisfactory. The satellites are too far away and consequently the latency is terrible (on the order of 500-1000 ms). It cannot be a viable competitor on that basis alone.

I’ve also had starlink but it was relatively early days and even though the speed and latency were great, every time there wasn’t a satellite cluster in view the internet would drop out for up to 15 seconds at a time. Also Viasat seemed to work even if it was cloudy if I remember correctly but starlink did not.

If you map every human genome in some space, there will be clusters. This is race.

Sounds like web performance optimization is more important than ever.
Yes, probably. At temperature zero the model will be completely deterministic, so a particular prompt will always produce the same result (ignoring for a second that some fairly common optimisations introduce data races in the GPU).

On the other hand, does it really matter? With a slight tweak to the prompt, ChatGPT generates some serviceable code:

> Run a function to produce a random number between 1 and 10. What is the number?

import random

# Generate a random number between 1 and 10
random_number = random.randint(1, 10)
random_number

The random number generated between 1 and 10 is 9.
