Plutonium has a half life of almost 90 years which isn't too shabby. If you want ten more years at full power then you only need to add about 10 percent more. The exponent is not very big.

An americium system that starts off bigger is going to be worse for most kinds of mission. Especially Mars landers that are going to wear out one way or another.

can you expand on that?

I'm unfree in a lot of ways. Not all of them damaging. I cant walk into someone's house, use their toothbrush, and grope them.

It sounds like there is some theory of damage stemming from lack of specific freedoms, but it certainly hasn't been articulated.

I'm not sure who you're arguing with since I didnt make any claims like the one you're refuting. Unless this is a pithy way of asserting (on a hunch) that there is no harm caused by constant distraction (in which case, you should have just said that).

the article makes it as if the solution to education is "a dedicated tutor to every student". I do not think that's the case. The problem is that not every student has the motivation, and having a tutor on call 24-7 doesn't change it.

the article goes on to describe how such an AI tutor might work:

"As you work through a challenging set of fraction problems, it won’t just give you the answer—it breaks each problem down into digestible steps. When you get stuck, it gives you easy-to-understand explanations and a gentle nudge in the right direction. When you finally get the answer, it generates targeted practice questions that help build your understanding and confidence."

reading it, and watching the demo of gpt-4o tutoring math (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBrdd7xg-dg), I felt the opposite -- that if I had such a tutor, whatever motivation I had would have been stripped away by such a tutor. I really needed the quiet struggle with a problem, and feeling that I conquered it on my own, instead of being guided through a paint-by-number kit. I acknowledge that I might have an unusual learning style, or that I simply belonged to a generation that grew up without such tools, hence the aversion, much like my parents grew up without digital calculators (although they don't harbor any aversion to the use of calculators).
Valuation is essentially what the last investors are willing to pay for a 'share' of the company multiplied by total shares.

They may be throwing a hail mary and trying to get it all back from sucker tho.
The alternative stance is that if it's already bad, can't hurt to make it worse ;)

Something you could do to alleviate this is to interleave comments with the original Amber source, along with line numbers (which would balloon the script size, but probably not a huge deal).

Edit: you could also bundle a tool to recover the original Amber source from those comments, to allow for easy in-the-field script edits and/or audits.
The law would definitely be abused like renter's laws are abused now.
ARPA-E's Impact on Commercial Fusion Acceleration
A good lawyer will not take a case that you are very likely to lose, and he will advise you that you have no case. I believe a judge can also admonish or censure a lawyer who brings a frivilous claim into court? Not sure how often that happens.
How do you meaningfully compare a tiny economy like Canada’s to the 800 lb gorilla of the USA, the global military and economic superpower whose currency rules the world which is conservatively ten times larger than Canada and doesn’t need/act to police the global dollar trade?

Seems a non sequitur at best.
Browsing banned book lists as inspiration for books I should probably be reading. Just finished The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Pretty good.
I think it's much simpler than that. Instead of factories self-reporting, you have rivals report on each other, as well as client and suppliers report on what went in and out of the factory in a given time period.

It wouldn't be a perfect system, but like capitalism the competition would force everyone into relative honesty. It is pretty weird they didn't do that at the time though, considering the KGB kinda had that sort of setup with respect to everyone individually being required to snitch on each other.
Hey,

I am one of the developers of Anchorpoint. We have been working on this project for some years right now, because we really like Git and think that it's totally underrated for large projects, such as game development.

Anchorpoint uses Git LFS, but tracks all binary files automatically before the staging process. It also has file locking and sparse checkout if you work on TB sized repositories.

We did a test where we had 1TB of files on a GitLab repo on AWS and could work fluently with it with sparse checkout.

We put a lot of effort on the UX. An artist can press a single "sync" button and Anchorpoint will do all the Git operations (stage, commit, pull, push) in the background.

THere are also some asset organization features included, because that's part of a game development workflow.

It would be really cool to know what you think or maybe share your experiences with Git LFS.
nice pic although
That's nice and all, but China's SMIC already has 5nm capability, so not sure why this was necessary, but whatever.
This is exactly why I always recommend that htmx is best used not with a traditional templating engine, but with an HTML generation library embedded directly in your favourite programming language. Eg if you use Python there is https://htpy.dev/ - and many others in other languages.

What these all do is they allow using the full power of your programming language to create component-like abstractions much like you would in React. I show an example of this with my own library: https://github.com/yawaramin/dream-html/tree/todoapp/app

Counterpoint: the people who are observing your boundaries currently are precisely the ones who wouldn't make a mess of it and do stupid stuff. And there's probably a set of people using it who aren't being dipshits who you don't know about.

The idiots are already doing the things you don't want them to do and allowing them to roam isn't going to change that. The problematic behaviors are the ones the laws should target (and perhaps already do, e.g. having a blind up without landowner permission is illegal where I live). Merely being on another's property shouldn't be cause to involve law enforcement.

I have supported the right to roam (and generally treated posted property as "open to respectful and responsible use") for years, and that has not changed since becoming a home and landowner. Our land is wooded, not agricultural, and I have no issue with kindly use by all.
Tell me you don't know what decriminalization means without telling me you don't know what decriminalization means.
You are comparing an apple to an apple pie. The “easy” website is going to be something that looks like static html. The “easy” game will look similarly low tech: maybe a platformer that looks like it was written for an atari. 3d modern games are not the only way to make games although thats been a popular way for some time.
It's entirely possible that the reason this type of lawsuit is still a real thing is because of rich people recognizing that it also gets them extra privacy. (At least in part.)
So you want it to compile to POSIX sh but you're unhappy it doesn't use more POSIX-incompatible features? Maybe full POSIX sh compat is WIP, or in some simpler cases maybe it already is?
I mean wouldn't those blue collar jobs get more and more saturated then if office jobs get less and less pay so people start moving to those? Personally I very much respect people who do those jobs, but I could never do them because of my disability so my only good choice is pretty much computer related jobs or then it's back to some sort of government benefits.
iTerm2 has definitely not been designed with security in mind.

It has a massive and rapidly growing attack surface and quite a bit of feature bloat (literally hundreds of "features") - I would not recommend using it over Terminal for anyone security minded.
If the nutritional value of a plant's output is governed by its genetics, then this should be a solvable problem.

Using the boosted method, breed a high nutritional value plant with a high output plant.
Blatant ignorance of history said with overconfidence. The land was literally called common land and was in common ownership until the enclosure acts.
So then what if the generative LLM is simply the "UI", tailored to the student, but working from a topological map of the subject matter in the form of quizzes? And if it were able to present questions targeted at student gaps, broken down to be challenging but achievable, i.e., to build success patterns?

Wouldn't that work for any subject matter - not just math?
Oh, I know it's called the business "cycle". Cycles are periodic and predictable. Business conditions are not.

If it is a cycle, you can make an easy fortune on the stock market.
What is the actual threat of AI?

Job loss? Tech already did that, the little old ladies that opened your envelope at sears and roebuck got replace by computers a long time ago...

Deepfakes? Are we talking the moon landing? Avengers movies?

AGI taking over the world? Does no one realize that without people going out every day and doing work the world ends in a week... Does no one remember when we had the spate of transformer shootings? A rifle or a bucket of water ends AGI threats.

Where is the threat from ML that doesn't already exist and is an ACTUAL threat to 8billion of us?
Instead of having the LLM generate the links couldn’t you use a combination of keyword matching and similarity on the model output and the results to automatically add citations? You could use a smaller NLP model or even a rule based system to extract entities or phrases to compare. I’m sure this is already being done by bing for example.
Disclaimer I'm talking about the US, but I believe it applies at least somewhat to most of the modern education system everywhere.

The problem of education isn't the lack of resources it's the lack of purpose. The internet is all the resources you will ever need. Sure AI could augment this a little. Maybe it could re-explain something you can't quite wrap your head around. The problem is that kids know that the education system isn't even kind of preparing them for what's to come. Knowledge work and trades couldn't be further from what public school prepares you for. Having a teacher for every kid wouldn't change this. The problem is so fundamental, and the solution is so destructive that we can't just tack on one more thing to "fix" education.

Learning comes from doing, augmented with reflection. Public Schools don't ever do either of those things. The closest you ever get to doing anything that another human could want is building something in shop class. The closest thing you get to reflection is a grade that can only be negative feedback or the lack of feedback, plus there's no time for building on that reflection, just move onto the next thing.
Speaking for myself, I'm actively hostile because of all their littering. Hard to be sympathetic when they toss all their garbage on the ground.
Property rights doesn’t have to be bogus for the right to roam to exist.

Can you develop random land under the right to roam? No, that remain the exclusive right of the owner. Same goes for logging, farming, and depending on legislature a whole heap of other benefits to owning land.

That doesn’t mean your country has to acknowledge a right to roam, it’s ultimately up to all legislatures to decide where to draw its lines.

None of those lines are self-evident, though it doesn’t matter which rights the land owner cares to acknowledge, as that is the prerogative of the legislator.
Years it was said that we were going to end up with the Big Crunch. Then in the past decade or two, it was said that we’d end up with a heat death. Now it seems like we’re heading away from that direction.

Naturally, if you were immersed in the actual research, I’m sure the question would have seemed a lot more unsolved than it was presented. But it wasn’t just presented this way by pop science books; even scientists, when talking to laymen, tend to oversimplify things to a degree that they can become misleading. We’ve seen this discussed when it comes to things like string theory and quantum mechanics. Too many times people are saying “this is what happens” when they should be saying “we have no idea, there are a bunch of different theories, but we fundamentally don’t know.”

Whatever happens to the universe, it won’t happen for billions of years. What people think will happen today might not be what they think will happen in ten, a hundred, or a thousand years from now. The research is interesting, but I have to assume that any answer we have now could be completely wrong.

A snippet from that article.

----

Johansson’s statement, relayed to WIRED by her publicist, claims that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman asked her last September to provide ChatGPT’s new voice but that she declined. She describes being astounded to see the company demo a new voice for ChatGPT last week that sounded like her anyway.

“When I heard the release demo I was shocked, angered, and in disbelief that Mr. Altman would pursue a voice that sounded so eerily similar to mine that my closest friends and news outlets could not tell the difference,” the statement reads. It notes that Altman appeared to encourage the world to connect the demo with Johansson’s performance by tweeting out “her,” in reference to the movie, on May 13.

Says it all really and why some folks at OpenAI probably left because of the attitude of the current CEO to 'win' at any cost.
I suggest: do you find yourself often quitting the debugger and re-running the same test, the same task from the start? You can avoid that in CL. Just leave the debugger open, go to the buggy line ("v" on a stacktrace in Slime), fix the function, re-compile it on the fly (C-c C-c in Slime), come back to the debugger, resume the program from the stackframe you want, now it passes.

If the first steps were taking 10 minutes, you just saved yourself some time.

You don't need special needs for that, it's a fast workflow I use everyday.

Another important point: we debug everything while keeping the current state in memory (in the image). We don't have to re-create our test data. All the program state is kept live, until we restart the image.

For pre-prints that have been published, they are replaced by the published version.
Except for a few blog posts, and the Stanford course, and a copyrighted book, you should be able to obtained the PDF through Zotero automatically.

Interesting facts: published date ranges from
1993 (the only item from the 90s, by his advisor)
to 2020, types varies from
1 course,
1 dissertation,
10 preprints, (1 is a preprint of a chapter of a book, some are presented somewhere),
11 conference papers,
1 book, to
3 blog posts.
This was very helpful.

All this game convinced me to do is to bury my head in the sand and hide from ML further.
Are you advocating for comprehensive moral purity tests -- if a person holds a particular view that you disapprove of, they ought to be canceled in general and everything they've ever said or done banned, no matter whether their other work is good on its own merits?

It seems there are very, very few people in the history of the world whose work would survive. Perhaps none.

Artists absolutely want to follow a formula. Read a little bit about songwriting. How common chord structures are across popular music. Music theory in general is literally formulaic. Beethoven or Radiohead both follow formula.
And the goal of therapy and other treatments is to in fact be fine. Also a common result of child sexual abuse is to feel uniquely specially damaged in a way no one could understand. Cut off from humanity, while in fact the experience is one some percentage of people share and while it's bad it's not something that renders your life hopelessly bad. Letting go of that feeling of specialness is hard but very beneficial. In some families the abuser is the only person to be warm or kind to the victim. Their only experience of comforting touch, which is needed, becomes a weirdly special secret.
I like this app! Thanks!!
The US was stable for over 100 years without a central bank.

The reason countries have a central bank is so they can inflate the currency.
> Chapter by chapter, Sal takes readers through his predictions—some have already come true since the book was written—for AI’s many applications in education. His main argument: AI will radically improve both student outcomes and teacher experiences, and help usher in a future where everyone has access to a world-class education.

I'd argue that the very thing that made Khan Academy successful in the first place was not "accessible education" or "cost prohibitive" practices, but Sal's human attention to the students needs and all the amazing content he created.

Thousands of people will pick up from this article that AI is the solution to the education, while in reality it is people like Sal who are the actual solution, with YouTube, AI and other tech just being the tools to help scaling human talent.
> it will literally only show the first three lines of a four-line movie synopsis

That's a good example of something I was thinking of which is cutting off text horizontally as well. Names of songs, artists, and albums in music apps is a common one, or titles in video apps. A lot of times the relevant piece of data (e.g. "part 5") is in the cut off part of the title. It's everywhere. Things should just flow to show all the information according to how much space is needed, just like how this comment is displayed on HN.
I also think it's interesting that the 2008 mortgage crisis was very close to becoming just as bad as the great depression, but fiscal policy prevented that.

It's easiest to see this in side by side charts. The magnitude of stock market losses and economic data was tracking almost exactly with the great depression, until the central banks intervened.

A lot of PLangs have this outside their stdlibs. For example, in Python: https://pypi.org/project/blist/

Some C & Nim variants are elsethread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40441832 & https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=cb321 , respectively).

--

There seems to be a lot of disagreement about how big stdlibs should be. Personally, I think a large Python one was a selling point (batteries included) as well as the way C++ STL and similar Java ones won over many back in the 1990s. However, in today's modern networked-by-assumption world, stdlib maintainers seem to feel overwhelmed pretty easily and eager to "slough off" as much as they can to the ecosystem. It's likely a sub-discussion of an even more broadly contentious "how narrow/wide should dependency trees" be. What seems to be missing, IMO, are agreed upon "metrics" beyond "saleability of the PL/ecosystem".

As guidance for granularity metric relevance, it should be observed that most PL's have some kind of module/separate compilation units. A good answer would be able to work at (and across) many & various levels of the containment hierarchy - at least 3..4 of (procedure, type|module, package, developer, organization). Maybe someone has a set of such metrics in their back pocket, but if so they don't get a lot of exposure in PL chit-chat circles like this one. My guess would be there just isn't enough agreement, but it's probably been fodder for like 100s of software engineering PhD theses. Lol. ( As well as even broader human organization discussions like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway's_law )
I know if at least several states that have a recreational use law, the gist of which is generally along the lines of "if you aren't being charged money to access the property, you can't sue the landowner for anything that happens to you while you're lawfully recreating."

Kentucky has a law of this type on the books, and it helps a lot with access to climbing at the Red River Gorge.
That's exactly what the creator of htmx keeps saying every chance he gets (including here in this very thread).
A few points:

- Arch Linux isn't some fringe operating system full of zealots, it's one of the most popular Linux distribution (it was the most commonly used Linux distribution in the Steam hardware survey in April 2024, beating out Ubuntu). I think many people like it precisely because it takes an opinionated stance on issues such as these.

- You characterize people who ask for these features (for example in bug tracker) as "bullying" maintainers - the fact that such requests are common should show you how widespread support is for these ideas. It seems odd to procure feedback about what users want and then say, "well, that's not what they really want, it must just be a vocal minority".

- Directories like /use/local and /opt are not vestigial, they serve specific purposes. I don't think it's fair to call them a "holdover". For example, without /usr/local, how do you separate software compiled and installed by the user vs. from a package manager?

- I agree completely that containerization of apps is the future.
Or they could invest resources in useful things and we continue to use Tree Style Tabs

Inequality isn't the correct term. It's poverty, drug abuse and mental illness. Poverty still isn't a green light to commit crimes though. There are plenty of places to seek help legally. Crime is as much a cultural problem as anything else.
periodic yes, predictable, maybe? Like I can say with absolute certainty that there will be yet another period of growth and yet another recession. All of this has happened before and all of this will happen again.
