The handwriting output plugin comes first, preempting the techno regressivists. They are going to be slower to the punch than the AI community, because their position is based on educational privilege and a sluggish unreasoning bigotry.

It's better to accept that there's a new form of literacy that currently requires you to read AI papers and spend time drafting with AI to correctly form. If you don't put in the training then you'll consistently form ineffective opinions about it, like someone who, never having gone to school, firmly thinks traditional literacy makes people ignorant.
Advertisement is, at its most basic, the idea that there are things you'd want to buy if you knew they existed. So they inform you these things exist. And you have seen (a few of) these ads before in your life. You love those ads, and you find them more entertaining sometimes than the media they were encapsulated in. Most people will use trailers before the movie as their example, and they tend to respond positively to those even after having seen them they decide they won't go to that movie. But I remember looking through the backs of magazines just to see what was sold, or looking through classified ads back when those were a thing.

Most "ads" aren't these kinds of ads though, and seek to manipulate you. They at least are just a grift, and only want to separate you from your money instead of, say, supporting a war that doesn't need to be fought.

I've seen first hand just how little the average person cares about privacy. The type of people who believe they have nothing to hide. My friends and family don't understand why I don't post everything to social media. No I'm not going to install this app and scan all my receipts. BuT wHy?!?!?!

I think many people here on hackernews live in a bubble and just don't understand what is an average human being. They surround themselves with like-minded tech savvy individuals and fail to comprehend how there isn't stronger support for privacy.
A type system is a very good thing, but it directly contradicts one of the goals for this language, simplicity. As someone who has written type inference code for plain Hindley-Milner type systems and those with subtyping, I can tell you this is very much an open research problem.

Inferred types, understandable type errors, expressive language: choose two out of three. If you sacrifice good type inference and require users to specify type annotations themselves they will not like it especially considering users' mental model of this language comes from Python; if you sacrifice understandable type errors, users will reject the whole system as soon as they encounter a type error; if you sacrifice expressiveness you are taking away features users want like subtyping.

If you want something that's ignored by Bazel and only used by some other tools you already have it: docstrings. You can enforce docstrings to be of a certain format and contain type annotations. Be the solution you want to see: be that hobbyist that writes a type checker and language server.
This is why you're going to see an explosion of fraud cases stemming from the 90s and early-to-mid 00s. That was the period where PCs were widespread so it was pretty easy to copy words and images, but actually looking at any individual set of words or images and asking "Were these copied from somewhere?" was much more difficult. A lot of people copied/manipulated then because they thought it would be too hard to catch them. Well, technology caught up.

Just look at the multiple plagiarism cases against the former Harvard president. It was clear, at least to me, she copied liberally more out of laziness/lack of confidence because she didn't think she would get caught for small phrases here and there. I mean, who goes through all of the trouble to write a dissertation and then plagiarizes the acknowledgements???
GameStop stock influencer Roaring Kitty may lose access to E-Trade, report says
I personally want to say thanks for productive engineers, managers and all worked in these features in SV and in USA and all over the world making these companies happen. Without them we might have a different reality today but hey, they were just following the managers and never had a chance to stop this.

> And SF absolutely does have lots of narrow streets. There are a lot of neighborhoods where the roads are only wide enough for one direction of traffic at a time due to parked cars. Either you or the oncoming car needs to pull to the side in front of a driveway to pass. Waymo handles these situations expertly.

That is not a narrow urban road, unless you have about 3 inches on either side of your car. Drive in Europe or NYC sometime.

I have no axes to grind, but I find the optimism of "[X technology] works in [Y very easy condition], so it's going to explode any time now" somewhat tiresome and naive. I have been hearing it about self-driving cars for >10 years now (since the DARPA challenges). Plenty of technologies never leave the garden of that easy condition.
Confounding variables. It's possible that riskier projects use agile because they're less well defined to begin with.

The stats I'd really like to see is how many people, how many months, how much money. Hypothetically, one successful waterfall project could perhaps fund 3 failed and one successful agile one with comparable output.

My takeaway from the article (which has a "people before process" feel to it):

> Projects where engineers felt they had the freedom to discuss and address problems were 87 percent more likely to succeed.

Also beware capital-A "Agile", it defines a process devoid of project characteristics, making it not.

In some markets, there’s plenty of supply - for rent - that no one can afford. Half my building is empty. Yet they charge “luxury” prices for a very much “unluxury” place. I’m one of a small handful of owners that bought before the “management company” came in. They had no choice but to accept us into their system. I’ve seen rent go from $700/1bdr to $2100/1bdr in 4 years.
Companies like Google have had access to our full email, search, location, photo roll, video viewing, docs, etc history for 10+ years. I don't think also having our LLM prompts fundamentally changes this picture..

I guess this is what the shifting baseline argument refers to..

Having said that, I think it's rational for almost all people to not care to give up privacy for all these (addictively) amazing tools. Most people don't do anything worth privacy protecting. Having worked in data/engineering at bigtech, it's not like there's a human on the other side reviewing what each user is doing. For almost all people the data will just be used for boring purposes to build models for better marketing/ads/recommendations. A lot of the models aren't even personalised, the user is just represented by some not-human-readable feature vector that again nobody looks at.

Hell, I have multiple Google Home devices that are always on and listening, and the thing's internal model is so basic and not-personalized that after multiple years it still has trouble parsing me when I say "Play jazz" and "Stop", even though these are the 2 commands I exclusuvely use. Sometimes it starts playing acid rock, and when I say "Stop" it starts reading me stock quotes.

> It's definitely less than elsewhere - housing is only really bad in coastal blue states esp. CA/NY.

Rents in my politically purple region 900+ miles from any coast have increased 100% over the past decade. What I pay now for a 1bd exceeds what I paid for a 2bd in a nicer part of the city when I originally moved here. Rental applications no longer require 3x income, only 2x now; it's just expected that people devote half their gross income on housing.

Once we start to see diminishing returns to model size and model performance begins to plateau (we are already nearing the plateau) we will have a set of models all pretty close to one another in performance which will be made available for downstream workloads on demand.

The consequences of this will be twofold. First, there will be less incentive for new entrants to train proprietary models as performance across SOTA models will be uniform and thus less possibility of differentiation and gaining market share. Second, there will be less incentive for SOTA model developers to invest heavily in GPUs because of diminishing returns.

Now the beauty of LLMs is that inference requires orders of magnitude less compute than training. So once we have a stable of performance plateaued models, compute demand will drop off a cliff.

Once we get over this mad rush to train train train, GPU orders are going to crater.

The two critical assumptions I'm making are 1) we are rapidly approaching a performance plateau and 2) models other than LLM's are much less widely useful than LLM's. Image generation I see as a fad, I played around with it a ton last year but haven't touched it since. Other niche models will have very little general applicability compared to LLM's.
He's a believer. He want several things that can't be well understood by the non-religious. He wants the al Aqsa mosque demolished/removed, so the temple can be rebuilt. He wants all of Jerusalem. And, even what he would call all of "Greater Israel" eventually. In that order, but he's willing to settle for those things out of order if it looks possible. A peaceful neighboring Palestine doesn't allow for any of that. A peaceful, neighboring Palestine wouldn't, for instance, ever do anything that could be used as an excuse to seize territory, or to remove Palestinians (via any of the various forms of ethnic cleansing). This thing in Gaza may well have been dragged out, just in the hopes that the people in the West Bank would be provoked into doing something, or that Iron Dome might shoot down something in just such a way as that the debris would fall on al Aqsa.

All of this will seem like the dumbest bullshit to you. Why would anyone want that? But there are millions of people in Israel that want nothing more than this. And he is their leader.
It's working on my fios connection, but I remember that wasn't always the case. Verizon may have changed something recently or the issue was fixed in a recent systemd release.

My config looks like this with systemd 255:

wan.network:

DHCP=yes
IPv6AcceptRA=yes
IPForward=yes

[IPv6AcceptRA]
UseDNS=no
DHCPv6Client=yes

[DHCPv6]
UseDNS=no
UseHostname=no
UseDomains=no
PrefixDelegationHint=::/56

[Link]

lan.network:
[Network]
Address=xx.xx.xx.1/24
IPForward=yes
DHCPv6PrefixDelegation=yes

[DHCPv6PrefixDelegation]
SubnetId=0
Token=static:::1

That lan config can be re-used on other vlan interfaces too, to take full advantage of the /56 prefix. Just increment the SubnetID (hex only for some reason, so the next is 0x1).

>The number of games that run natively on Vulkan is negligible

Firstly, several games engines and rendering libraries support it.

Secondly, it does not have to be _native_, on top of Vulkan you can run OpenGL and Direct3D emulation layers, which will cover most of the rest. macOS has long since abandoned their native OpenGL drivers, and MoltenVK has many caveats.

GP means _in spite of_. It's the only way to explain the number of apartments kept vacant to artificially reduce supply.

The latest New York City Housing and Vacancy survey estimates that last year 26,310 rent-stabilized apartments were “vacant but unavailable for rent,” down from about 43,000 in the same survey two years ago.

Empirically, a cartel of 2 can be quite stable With 3 or 4 members it gets harder, and with 5 or more someone will soon undercut the others. In secret or publicly.

"Unprivileged ports" is just a case in point for everything you would need privileges to do, from binding arbitrary ports to adding arbitrary addresses and running local servers on them, etc, etc, etc. The point is: turning "complicated" network features that require privilege into simple unprivileged socket code.
There seem to be a lot of prominent people in the valley, mostly who are heavily invested in competitors (e.g. VC Brad Gerstner), who like to spread the misconception that Waymo uses minimal AI and hand codes a lot of their system.

The study that looked at subjective well-being in 16th century Spain concluded that subjective well-being mirrors subjective economic inequality. Without going too deep, it seems that relationship continues to hold in the modern time period of which you speak. Subjective economic inequality has increased, and subjective well-being has declined.

But that does question just how important subjective well-being is if all it is is your perception of how much better off someone else is.

Part of the problem is that studying the brain is hard. We have lots of in vitro or mouse models that tell a story, but nothing is conclusive.

Plenty of us understand, but it's depressing and usually trying to explain to others that have a rosier view of how people will react feels a lot like trying to get the people themselves to care, which is to say it's hard, thankless, and depressing, so few people bother.
This article hints at what I consider to be the biggest technical drawback to IPv6 for residential use, which is that dynamic prefixes mean your internal LAN IPs are never stable.

The answer to this is usually something like “duh, use DNS”, but how are you going to configure that DNS server if your whole network’s IP address range could change at any time? Yes, multicast DNS is a thing, but it’s not supported in all software (I’m looking at you, OpenBSD, which has no out of the box support for it and I’ve not figured out how to configure it.)

So the real answer is to create a ULA prefix on the side that you generate randomly (or make an easy to remember one because this is residential use, who cares about collisions, it’s a private space) and use that for any use case that involves hardcoded IPs, like DNS server configuration.

But it still feels like a compromise to me. I wish more software was “prefixless”, including DNS server indication and even DNS zone files, such that a lack of prefix means “prepend the prefix you are already communicating on”… Firewall configuration would be simpler, DNS zone files could survive re-prefixing, all sorts of configuration could be made to work this way, but instead you’re left with either a ton of automation to reconfigure things when the prefix changes, a bunch of manual work, or just bite the bullet and use ULA.

Oh, and did I mention that in my particular setup, all my devices would keep trying to communicate on their old addresses even after a new prefix gets assigned and the new RA’s are sent? Meaning they essentially lose all connectivity if you’re using an IPv6-mostly setup like I have? Oh sure, they grab addresses on the new prefix, but they don’t drop the old one until the lifetime expires, which defaults to 4 hours in the environment I’m in (I think the rad daemon in OpenBSD inherits the lifetimes from its upstream router’s lifetimes, which makes the duration Comcast’s fault, but the proper thing to do is rescind the old RA’s when the interface changes addresses, and rad does not do this out of the box for me, or if it does it doesn’t work right.)

Ok rant over. I want to like IPv6 but dynamic prefixes are really the Achilles heel for me.
This is not news. Market gains generally have always been dragged along by a small percentage of companies: Focusing on aggregate shareholder outcomes, we find that the top-performing 2.4% of firms account for all of the $US 75.7 trillion in net global stock market wealth creation from 1990 to December 2020. Outside the US, 1.41% of firms account for the $US 30.7 trillion in net wealth creation.
