They always start with the murmurs to prepare public opinion.

And in any case, I think people really are failing to see the equivalence here, and it's scary. The suggestions to "just stop" (translation: "just lose") are actually serious. You'll have an economically crippled Russia with a wounded collective ego. Perfect setup for a rematch. Just like WW1 to WW2. But the normalizers have the majority opinion on their side at this point, and sadly nobody will stop them from making this tragedy a reality.

So: there really is an equivalence here, and sadly history teaches people nothing. This time they are right, dammit. With any luck, our grandkids will live to discuss how this was the biggest geopolitical miscalculation.

Don't think I have a point? Think about how everyone expected Russians to take to the streets and overthrow Putin back in 2022. The level of delusion is unreal.
I know I prefer my exploits to come from opaque corners of package formats or docker layers as bofh intended. The more indirect handoffs of trust the merrier.

In this case, very slowly. that is, slowly compared to a high speed fission or fusion event. the large number of nuclear events are not in a chain reaction. They're happening in a disassociated manner throughout the matrix of the granite.

I think in context it matters because the intensity of event, as a moving surface expanding out from what we might as well consider a point source, is why the army wants the bomb in the first place. If they made the same amount of energy be released over 10 years, distributed in a field of granite I don't think it would help their tactical aims. (Their strategic aims are met by not using the bomb)

(please don't come here to pedant that 10 years isn't enough time to do the same energy release as a 20 megatonne event, in that field of granite. the point is, its more than milliseconds not how many decades it happens over. If on the other hand, you can heat a field of granite 400C in an hour or so and not irradiate the area, then the geothermal community would like to talk to you. if you can do it in 20 seconds then the Army is interested again.)

My Instagram account was blocked for years for no reason. Even when I decided I no longer wanted the account, I still couldn't delete it.

I posted about it here multiple times. Some posters offered suggestions -- if I was in the EU, they said, I could invoke the "right to be forgotten", and Instagram would legally have to remove my account. Unfortunately, I do not live in the EU.

When Meta Verified was launched late last year with a human support feature, I paid the subscription fee and created a support ticket. They asked for screenshots and videos of the problem, but ultimately said there was nothing they could do. Stubbornly, I kept at it, and over 100 emails later they finally fixed the issue by resetting the email that was linked to my account.

My question is: why didn't mine take 5 minutes?
What's the advantage of using this over PostHog?
For note taking, I'm testing out Limitless[1] and I like it so far (without the Pendant). I like it because it does not need an obnoxious bot lurking around or emailing everyone luring them with a virtue signaling of how good they are doing.

For physical meetings, or when you want to take notes yourself -- I suggest trying out Pen/Paper. The additional suggestion is not to write out words but phrases with more of visual drawings -- sticks, diagrams, circles, diamonds, boxes, curves, with lots and lots of arrows. Have a look at Dan Roam's work/book[2] for inspiration and how anyone can sketch.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12186857/what-is-the-dif...

I recently trying to do some C/C++ and SDL2. Whilst you cannot escape C++, I found C is more readable, even though as said by C the hard way, it is really a lot of undefined case. And you have to use a lot of pointers and pointers of pointer to go around. Still I found by and large I can READ C source. Just like I can read lisp source.

But whilst Python already is hard to "read", C++ is really hard to read. Give this eample of "static" , it is sort of a language design issue I think. If you have a term like external, static, global, local, function scoping etc. you should have give you a good default case and also a good name. And seperate into different terms. Functional-local, Functional-same-file, ... I know it is not likely but ...

But there is no escape. You have to deal with Python and C++ I guess. No choice.

BTW, for those argued against global variable, just drop it; sometimes it hard. Tried to follow the basic SDL example,it is a major exercise. Avoid no doubt, but esacpe all these is also hard.

Just because LLMs only really existed for a year now and it's still the fastest adopted new tech we ever had. Even iphone took longer to adopt. It'll take time for LLMs to lodge into direct use and thus the move to voice chat by openAI but every single person is already full in AI game from photo editing, to content curation - AI assists us everywhere already. The leap between that and texting to an AI friend is extremely tiny.
I guess when you roll your own library, you get an obligation to read the introduction of the 10 pages long standard.

Or the usage example.
Had you worked in Fortran, Pascal or Algol or C, and been forced to think linearly to a deck of cards, and a job queue, and do all the marshalling of the IO into that job queue through some horrendous syntax of JCL of some kind, then the experience of being in a REPL might be more momentus. Instead you're a fish swimming in clear water not understanding why water is so unbelievably amazing if you haven't been in it before.

Of course LISPians want to make their REPL very meta, compared to any REPL, and it is: its degree of self-introspection, and the potential to modify the REPL is a REPL on steroids experience. But just being a REPL, is pretty damn amazing if you had to uplift from write-compile-assemble-marshall-coordinate-queue-run-cleanup "before"

(I did learn on punched cards in the 70s. Bugs hurt at a 20 min production-to-run cycle, some people were a drive away from the batch queue, and a 1 day turnaround was good.)
It’s right there in the name - first you Retrieve relevant information (often a vector lookup) then you use it to Augment the prompt, then you Generate an answer.

It’s bloody useful if you can’t cram your entire proprietary code base into a prompt.

I'm glad I'm not the only one drawing SBF personality comparisons here. I'd throw Martin Shkreli into the mix too for good measure. Awful.
Spoiler for people who don't want to read a VERY long article- the electrical circuits in the plane did not follow the plans. A screw that was providing grounding (to the plane body) for the flap system had wiggled loose- causing the electricity to take a different path, through the a circuit that controlled the angle of the propellors. So pressing the flap button cause the propellor to stop spinning.
So? Monetary incentives lifted more people out of poverty than any prior system. There is also reputational risk for being stupid and which would get them shut down.
Understandable, but it also seems like there is a disconnect between the philosophy of vi and the philosophy of Lisp. Vi is designed to be purely a text editor, and not an environment for building text based applications. Common Lisp being so inherently interactive, seems to require a dynamic, interactive text editing environment. Like Emacs.
I haven’t used it before, but based on the website it also looks promising.

Sounds like pure speculation based, once again, on the assumption that this will be misused.
This is not their "entire game". It's just the current state of cutting edge AI. Transformers and deep neural networks work this way, and require a lot of data, and in the end it's just creating a blended space that can be searched.

I think in general people have opted for having free services in exchange for their data. Social media and online ads received no pushback from people, and everyone was and is more than happy to give away their data in exchange for a service. So this ship has sailed, so to speak, and now there is no infrastructure to properly credit people's data contribution, and so OpenAI is just walking down the beaten path and applying it to current AI tech.

OpenAI is doing what most social media has already done, which is take people's data and provide a product for cheap. I would assume if they were forced to disclose and compensate every single piece of data for training GPT4... first it might take many years, and second it would make the product too expensive and therefore not worth the effort.
There could be a bubble in terms of stock valuation, but the tools are definitely going to stay.

This could be kinda like the dot com bubble -- the Internet went on to become BIG, but the companies just went bust... (and the ones that strive are probably not well known)
There's a good book, Punished By Rewards.
Jupiter works good as long as all your code is in one file. You can't really modify code outside of cells you made.

In Common Lisp you can develop a project with multiple files interactively, you can even modify library code, maybe even the runtime
What were the people of Alang doing before shipbreaking? Were they starving?

We know from the history of enclosure that the starvation was an intentional strategy to compel people into wage work. There were guides to how to do enclosure that advised lords against planting fruit trees, because the peasants would eat the fruit from the trees and therefore not want to engage in work.
> People that haven't experienced it and recovered from it a bit are really good at not believing how common it is.

Also, for people who have experienced it, it's often the last thing they'd ever want to talk about. With anyone, including people they are really close to.

There's a good chance you could have a close personal friend or even your partner and never know they had gone through something like that.

> I wonder how long this thread will last on HN

Users flagged it and it also set off the flamewar detector. I don't think we'd turn the penalties off on this one because because this article is derivative of the threads HN has already had on the recent things - threads like these:

Statement from Scarlett Johansson on the OpenAI "Sky" voice - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40421225 - May 2024 (970 comments)

Jan Leike Resigns from OpenAI - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40363273 - May 2024 (391 comments)

Ilya Sutskever to leave OpenAI - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40361128 - May 2024 (780 comments)

Edit: also OpenAI departures: Why can’t former employees talk? - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40393121 - May 2024 (961 comments)

Those were huge threads!

Sometimes media articles are driven by the topic getting discussed on Hacker News in the first place. That is: major HN thread -> journalist takes notice -> article about topic -> HN user submits article -> another HN thread—but now it's a repetitive one. We don't need that feedback loop, especially because the mind tends to resort to indignation to make up for the lack of amusement in repetitive content (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...), and the earlier threads have been indignant (and repetitive) enough already.

> How much influence does @sama have around here nowadays?

Zero. He never asked for any change about anything HN-related even while he was running YC, and certainly not since then. Btw Sam was the person who posted https://www.ycombinator.com/blog/two-hn-announcements/.

> For the record, I was never impressed with him

(I'll add a personal bit even though that's usually a bad idea... I remember hearing this kind of comment about Sam going back to the Loopt days. My theory is that it had to do with pg praising him so publicly—I think it evoked a "why him and not me?" feeling in readers. The weird-ironic thing is that the complaint has only grown as Sam has achieved more. Running OpenAI through the biggest tech boom since the iPhone is...rather obviously massive. I think if Sam unifies gravity into quantum theory, brokers peace in the middle east, and cures cancer, we'll still be hearing these complaints—because they're not really grounded either in objective achievement or lack of it. It's some kind of second-order phenomenon, and actually rather interesting. At least if you aren't Sam!)
Not OP but here are my personal thoughts. I love PostHog (and using in almost all of our web assets/products) but it is overkill for most usage, especially small and personal projects/websites/apps.

I'd gladly settle for something simpler like Plausible or this one, perhaps, start with their hosted SaaS version and if need to, we can host it ourselves.
Over the long term of many years you're /lucky/ if a stable very-low-risk investment can net ~3% when accounting for inflation. Thus $250M could maybe net you roughly $7.5M/year. Exactly how many network links, servers, and engineering staff do you think that buys? It's way under what it operates on today, which is way under what it ideally should be for site like Wikipedia. And that's /just/ the operational engineering of the sites on a technical level.

You also need HR, you need Finance, you need a lot of Lawyers, you need software developers, you need a travel department, a fundraising team, PR people, community relations people, grant-making for the extended open ecosystem around the Wikimedia movement, conference planning, and the list goes on.

You're off by enough to seem troll-ish at best.
Claiming that iTerm2 is only a single key press away from silently registering an OpenAI account, entering your credit card number, and sending non-participating users’ shell pipeline data straight to Sam Altman is possibly the most moronically incompetent and shamefully/pitifully fearful objection since Kevin mitnick was going to launch the nukes by whistling into a prison pay phone.

If you don’t want to use the feature then don’t register the account and don’t use the feature. But there is no reasonable fear or justification for that sort of claim and frankly it just makes you look like an idiot, imagine your grandchildren reading that, how are they not gonna think that grandpa was a moron who bought into some dumb Luddite backlash against a technology that will be as absolutely routine as alternating current by that point?

People forget they’re on the record with history here, try to at least maintain some bare minimum of plausibility. This isn’t the type of statement that is going to age like, at all. It’ll look dumb in a year, as soon as people move onto the next dumb protest thing the inertia will fade.
Are you really a customer if you are not paying for the service though?
Best are the mobile friendly pages that don't allow you to pinch-zoom while the desktop version does.
This just shows how broken and insanely anti-consumer Big Tech is. You have to pay 200 bucks for somebody to look on the down low into your account being randomly disabled... and everybody pretty much accepts it as normal. Very dystopian.
Sounds like someone is a member of the Dan Ariely school of science. There might be a professorship at Duke in his future.
I think a key aspect of US culture is that when you make absurdly ambitious claims, they will generally give you some space to prove yourself. That doesn’t imply they are naive. They may be skeptical but there isn’t a prejudice. They allow that something might be possible even if they don’t see it.
That's fair. Given that you can't do this programatically with their api (it disallows scraping prompts), it feels less prone to abuse. And even if a bad actor tried to leverage their web api instead of their official api to get around prompt limitations they could easily just ban you.
Sure, I raised the example as you might want to modify your GP comment to stress you're talking about above critical Nuclear Events which are extremely rare on Earth, especially compared to the immense number of sub critical Nuclear Events that have occurred here throughout the past 4+ billion years and are still ongoing.

I understand the excitement that goes with an atomic bomb explosion, I've been present at some of the last physical bomb tests and have mapped the sites of a number of past tests with airborne radiometric spectrometers.

Dense UIs certainly have a place. But, simple UIs are not a fad, as it seems some people in this thread see it. The goal is as simple as possible, but no simpler.

The majority of applications and websites you interact with should be simple, and a few should be complex and dense. The reason is that you aren't an expert at most applications and websites, and you want them to be simple, so you can do the thing you want to do without investing much effort. But for applications you know really well, and use all the time, you want them to be more dense, so you can get more things done with fewer steps.

Because there is no easy, cost-effective, or even feasible way to scale the same application's UI complexity smoothly from newbie to expert, the designer almost always has to try to thread a path between the two extremes. This path has to make sense for the use cases they know about, and the largest share of the users they want to serve. This is extremely hard, not extremely simple, as it may seem from an observer's position.
This looks very promising! I've been wanting something like this for years, a nicer shell scripting language which compiles to Bash so I can run it almost everywhere. I don't think Amber is not quite there yet, missing some pretty essential shell features, but is off to great start. I'll be keeping an eye on this.

Maybe this is still early in development, but I don't see anything for pipes or redirection. Is this a planned feature? That's an essential feature of any shell and I can't see myself getting much done in Amber without it, especially pipes.

I suggest adding more examples to the home page, especially side by side comparisons with Bash. The home page is somewhat lacking in content right now.
Because the stupid terms of service link being on a site doesn't mean anyone agreed to them, they dont actually hold up in a court of law. Now if you signup for an account and agree, then MAYBE then they can be enforced.

So no if its on the internet and its publicly viewable, i don't see why a bot like chatgpt should somehow be blind to a site that a human can see lol, hell microsofts made their new AI system see your screen, do you also want the AI's to somehow black out the screen area that has the website open and ... know theirs a TOS somewhere on the page
A UBI partially offset (only because the per taxpayer limit is equal to the UBI) offset by a high, immediate new “UBI tax” (1/3 of earned income) is basically standard rapid-clawback means-tested welfare program of the type UBI is usually contrasted with.

Oh my - how far they've fallen.
In your first example I think most people would skip the 'is not None' as None is already falsy and drop the extra braces.

I find it visually clearer than the second example where the cause and effect are slightly separated, but I do agree there's an element of cleverness to it.

Ah, should have guessed as much with all the patreon and YouTube links on that website. You got me.
proof of work is a good measure against DoS attacks, but not against low to medium volume spam.

SHA256 in particular has hyper efficient GPU/ASIC implementations. set the difficulty high enough to hang the browser on an average phone or a laptop for several minutes, but a dedicated spammer can just rent the hardware to solve those in fractions of a second very cheaply
Phones were never upgradable so I don’t see how they are evidence of computing becoming more closed. I can still build a PC and run Linux on it just as I did 25 years ago.
It isn’t really practical to sue a large company with essentially infinite resources that can drag out something for years, and can always turn around and say “you violated TOS” or some other spurious reason that will get them out of it.

I’m not trying to be dismissive, but just go search online for google support threads of people dealing with the exact same issue I had - it’s common and no amount of lol law is going to deal with it short of serious consequences. A thousand individuals suing for a thousand dollars isn’t going to move that needle, like at all.
you'd think they'd know about this from the money and pig experiments. what made them think jumping to a human would be any better?
I am paying enough, the prices are no different from restaurants with proper menus and wait staff. Again: Why must I peck around on a screen for ants and receive the bare minimum of service, at full market price?

On a similar vein: Why do I not get a small discount, say 1%, if I go and use a self-checkout instead of going to a manned checkout? The cashier isn't serving me, so why am I paying for his wages?

I am, of course, fine with receiving less service if I am expected to pay less accordingly.

"Word spreading fast" means there is marketing going on. Thats kind of the genius of marketing to reddit/youtube/twitch as a "normal guy dev", it doesn't feel like marketing, but thats why its so powerful (see social media influencers). You could be even more cynical and look into guerilla marketing tactics they might use like fake views and upvotes/likes.

And again, survivorship bias.
Starlink launches satellite internet service in Indonesia
That's fair. I may have conflated with WWII.
It can also be survivorship bias: "we never used seat belts and we were fine" can only be said by someone alive.
> you can even modify library code, maybe even the runtime

this would be difficult (and not recommended) but not strictly impossible in languages other than lisp (e.g. read library files, edit them, re-write them, re-load the library).

But to play devil's advocate, isn't the language feature that makes this easy in lisp its homoiconicity, as opposed to its REPL?
