Well, no. "Socialism has evolved" is nonsensical. Socialism has a definition so either that's what you want or that's not what you want... Socialism has disappeared from government and from what most "socialist parties" actually seek, which is in fact social democracy.

There are still parties that seek socialism, or groups within parties that overall do not.
It was also never awarded - it's a made-up number.

I would argue that he did not miss the point at all actually--he deliberately mentions it at the end.
A fair amount of my work is done via remote desktop, via VPN even, and it doesn't strike me as a particularly slow. I guess the question is, compared to what? On what hardware and network infrastructure?
The frustration factor is a big deal.

I took a bootcamp. One day and another student and I were working on something and a third member of our group (who had other issues) was really frustrated and took it out on us and then went to the teacher.

She told the teacher "they just get it and I don't".

But in truth the other student and I were not "just getting it", we were failing frequently, we had made no more progress on what was a fairly elementary task than she did. We just kept trying ... kept our hands on the keyboard and came up with new things to try. We were no less frustrated too.

Now there's more to it than just typing like coming up with those ideas / thinking it through, but the grit to do that is not something many people have just to start.

Amusingly that seems to be a problem with seasoned programmers too. I work with some good guys who do their job well enough, but man they hit a little cognitive dissonance and they just fall apart. I'm not better and very much not smarter, I just keep thinking about the problem and keep trying. A troubleshooting mindset, curiosity, and will to keep going is hard to really test for and give to someone.
I hear you, the tone might be too much to some. But it's also part of what makes it so fresh and almost a McSweeney's article.
Amazing! The gym [1] is particularly fascinating. I wonder how those old rowing machines work.

Linux (and FreeBSD, too) has ACLs for FS.

NT has ACLs for everything. Each handle (read: descriptor) has associated ACLs.

Also, each handle can be waited ("selected") with same system call. No select()/epoll() vs wait() distinctions. Nw Linux has timerfd and procfd and others, but NT had these from birth.

In some way NT is more UNIX ("everything is a file") than UNIX itself.

I'd love to see an advanced citywide or intra-city logistics system using pneumatic tubes or evacuated tubes in general.

There's interesting non-pneumatic work from the Swiss company Cargo Sous Terrain, with self-poweres robot carriers shuttling materials around a city. Haven't heard or seen much in specifics, but their design material looks flashy & cool, and they supposedly are doing a tunnel.
https://spectrum.ieee.org/cargo-sous-terrain

Outside of Atlanta GA, there's Pipedream, which launched a modest-sized intra-city auto omous robot delivery system at the end of 2023, which is cool. https://interestingengineering.com/transportation/worlds-fir...

It probably isn't worth the trouble nor a real efficiency gain but the idea of evacuated tubes with low air resistance or maybe even using real pneumatic pressure sounds cool. Especially for longer distances, higher capacities, the idea of some kind of hyperloop like system but a bit smaller & not human rated would be neat, could eliminate a colossal amount of CO2 & effort.
Our cohort was 23. 2 people basically scammed AppAcademy by not finding a job for two years but did find jobs after that and didn't have to pay their ISA. Everyone else did find jobs within about 3 months. All but three have moved into senior roles. Of those three, one prefers just being an IC and two moved into product management.

I don't know how things are lately but given sentiment I hear about hiring from bootcamps, I imagine they haven't been able to hold up the high numbers that they had in their first few years. Would love to hear otherwise though. I still think the program is expensive for what it is, but I don't regret it at all.

My only regret was that I chose between changing careers and putting all my money in crypto at the time...back when Bitcoin was still in double digits. If I'd chosen differently I would be rich beyond my wildest dreams.
You don't think rich people do things for their rich buddies?
Server side includes are still the perfect amount of power if you want to do templating stuff like comments.html footer.html or right_menu.html includes across all site pages. And the attack surface is so minimal and code so stable there's basically no increased risk using SSI over just html with nginx and similar webservers.
These fines DO discourage these behaviors. As some who handled fines at a very large bank, a fine would ALWAYS change the bank's procedures. ...and not only fines against us, but fines against ANY bank would alter procedures.
Now if only we could build a molecular Turing machine that can replicate and distribute the data so it is processed in an ever increasing parallel way.

Ask HN: Did your company give you Juneteenth off?
Name the company, name whether they gave you the holiday off today.

Feel free to mention anything weird like a remote day or half day.

Yes its a federal holiday, but 2 major tech companies I used to work at _did not_ give us the holiday off in the first few years it was recognized
The article claims that their true placement rate was below 30%. Even for a graduate program in an oversaturated field - and I’m very comfortable describing such programs as scams themselves - that would be kinda low.
I did a year of computer science, but ended up going to App Academy with an ISA, because I couldn't really afford another couple of years. If ISAs are indentured servitude, but are still better than going to university, then what does that say about universities?
DNA data is interesting but I have to figure that it would be more interesting to encode information into protein. DNA is 4 bases, more information than binary certainly, but with protein chains you could use all the amino acids there are.
Apparently 500 have been found in nature so far although us humans personally use far fewer. It would also seem to me you could engineer a stronger protein structure then how DNA is structured.
I imagine the NSA has a fully mapped out network layout for most major foes continuously updated in some sort of inventory database but for enemies, the same way they track large military gear and in which bases its at for their enemies. So yeah this seems very strange.
It's not "regardless" at all though. Knowing they don't have the infrastructure in place to deal with existing waste, it's easy to predict what happens when we outsource production there. However much uncontrolled waste they would generate, we are choosing to add to it.
> To be fair, you can do that now. I assume he meant a "decent movie where the protagonist doesn't have three arms in half the shots."

Obviously. You could render a completely black video decades ago already, but that was not super relevant :-).
The article (about Arvind) says he had two sons, "Divakar ’01 and Prabhakar ’04" can somebody explain their names in this context?
Yeah, that's mostly me. I've lived in Massachusetts at multiple locations between Boston and Gardner. I'm now living at the edge of one of the mill cities. It is not far enough from traffic noise, but it is much better than any other place I've lived other than Massachusetts rural.

I've also lived from the deeply blue-collar (father's small business moving machinery) to the tech world. I find myself marketing my consulting business to small to medium-sized blue-collar/manufacturing businesses. Even though their Trumpist attitudes irritate me, I understand their world better than I do that of urban-centric, and their political views do not stop me from taking their money. It makes it easier for me to charge them the rates that I do.

I think the quip is a good one. However, I feel it could be better phrased as, "You need to seek out the best bits to remind you why you tolerate the worst bits."

When I'm having a bad day, and I wonder why I'm putting up the crap in my life, I walk into my yard, look at my garden with cucumbers, beans, cauliflower, and something like 20 tomato plants next to raspberries, blueberries, sour cherry tree, and Apple tree. And if it's a really really bad day, I will go and settle into the hammock and stare at the sky.

When I can finally feel gratitude for the life I have, then I go back and deal with the crap that lets me afford the life I have.
I've gotten some quick wins with Benthos (now RedPanda Connect) but I agree it's an unsolved problem as there are typically gotchas.

If you can get a true CDC stream from the database to analytics, that would be ideal, but when that isn't available you spend 100x more time trying to bodge together an equivalent batch/retry system.
We don't need perfect retrieval if we've got plenty of replica space. Usenet solved degradation with PAR[0] files.

Extensive replication and error correction could go a long way to making this at least remotely viable.

But in NT everything is a handle in much more consistent way than UNIX's everything is a file.

Each handle has security descriptor/ACLs, not only a files, and format is the same. Each handle can be waited for fr with same system call, and you could mix and match file, socket and process handles in same call.
Not just commercial interests, cities are losing tax dollars as companies pull out, then knock on effects to retail stores.

Then there's Americans penchant for slavemasters aka, middle managers who's only real job is head count and stealing productivity counts.
Even when there are enterprise SSDs that are mechanically and electrically compatible with the bays/slots in a laptop, they're often untenable due to the lack of idle power management features on enterprise SSDs (because sleeping when idle kills the latency metrics). Consider that the 480GB DC1000B is officially rated for 1.9W at idle and in practice I wasn't able to get it below 1.2W. Consumer SSDs with working power management would idle under 10mW.
Giannandrea: "So these models, when you run them at run times, it's called inference, and the inference of large language models is incredibly computationally expensive. And so it's a combination of bandwidth in the device, it's the size of the Apple Neural Engine, it's the oomph in the device to actually do these models fast enough to be useful. You could, in theory, run these models on a very old device, but it would be so slow that it would not be useful.

Then it has a lot of redundant information.
I still crave novelty, in that I'm always wanting to discover new things, go new places. But I don't feel the need to be so "busy" as is common in a big city.
Yes, with holiday pay
I'd be interested to know how the vacancy rate compares on the residential units vs the commercial units.

It seems obvious that if any retail space could be converted to living quarters and make more money, somebody would pay the commercial rent and do the conversion. Except, of course, where this is barred by government.
FYI, After model download, I get an error:

There was an error with the tts initialization

Thanks so much for the help! Yeah its expensive but I can't find other sites that have all the staff in one place and often they write on the site that they don't sell to a private person. I'll have to tray to make a company, maybe a GmBh would work :D
Good thing the Tesla board just gave him a shitton of money to burn on some more banal and ego tripping nonsense.
The problem is most office spaces are not easily converted to liveable spaces. They basically need all kinds of plumbing and wiring and structural work.
Safe Superintelligence Inc.: Because nothing says "safety" like a superintelligent AI, right? Just like how OpenAI is all about openness!
They aren't censored, or we wouldn't have the waifu model. Can't stress this enough. You've found the absurdity of this in group shibboleth: they're both "censored" and can't do waifus, but they can do waifus, so "censored" just means "if some AI companies won't offer pornbots upon first naive prompt, I'm in 1984"

ExecOS doesn't implement a HAL.
It’s not entirely bullshit, as it does require slightly different behavior. Stubborn managers who refuse to adapt will lose efficiency in WFH teams.

More likely to me is that many managers were coasting and not needing to actually track work, manage, etc. there’s a big pushback when they’re forced to actually do their job and not just rely on butts in seats.
> PWA (if it were implemented properly): "Click here to install app". Click. Confirmation dialog. App is installed. App opens in the same window.

> App store: "Click here to install app". Click. An entirely different application opens. Confirmation dialog. App is installed. You open it, but now you're in a different context.

You’re unfortunately oversimplifying the PWA installation. Say a user has heard of a new service called “Florb” which has a PWA and a native app. To install natively:

1. Open the App Store

2. Tap the search button (optional, might already be selected)

3. Search “Florb”

4. Tap Get

5. Confirm download

For the PWA:

1. Open Safari

2. Search for Florb using your chosen search engine

3. Open Florb homepage

4. Tap “share”

5. Hunt and scroll for “Add to Home Screen”

6. Tap “Add to Home Screen”

7. Give the app a name

8. Tap Add

This is ignoring the possibility that searching Florb returns other sites first (maybe news articles about the neat service, or a wiki page), nor that there are usually enough ads on google pages to completely obscure the first real results from the screen on page load. Yes, the App Store also shows an ad, and it’s possible for other similarly named apps to appear first in the list, but it’s generally less of a problem than relying on google searches.

Even ignoring the fact that the average user doesn’t know or care that PWAs exist, the first option is simply easier and more reliable. There’s no getting around that. And that’s also ignoring that PWAs are, to an average user, “installing a website” rather than “installing an app,” which just feels wrong.

“Add to Home Screen” has been available on iOS since at least iOS 4 (that’s the first time I remember seeing it, but it may have been around longer). If people don’t care about it yet, I have a hard time believing they will any time soon unless it is substantially and objectively better than the App Store.
What do you use for templating/HTML generation?
Feels like not finding a job for two years isn’t really winning, unless the terms of the ISA were insane. Lost income for two years as a software developer, experience towards higher seniority and income, building a resume and portfolio…I don’t know, that seems like a losing scam for the scammers.
> Objectively, no it doesn't. Even if you think it's a bubble, then the bubble is just growing. There are zero signs of anything popping yet.

Ever seen a bubble pop? It doesn't contract and then pop, usually. A hole develops, and almost immediately no more bubble. If you watch very closely, you might see signs of the end a fraction of a second before it vanishes.

Like, this is why these phenomena are called bubbles; they grow and grow and grow, and then bang.

> It's like back in 1800's when railroads were the new thing, and imagine there were only one company that knew how to make locomotives, while everything else had multiple suppliers.

I, er, feel obliged to mention that that was a particularly notorious bubble. And, like, yes, if you're selling shovels in a gold rush, that's a good place to be, no question of that. But it doesn't say anything in particular about the long-term viability of the gold rush.
Reactions:

1. good for him. there was obviously infinity money to back him in achieving his goals

2. i have the same problem with this as i did the original version of anthropic - you cannot achieve "unilateral ai safety". either the danger is real and humanity is not safe until all labs are locked down, or the danger is not real and theres nothing really to discuss. Anthropic already tried the "we are openai but safe"

3. the focus is admirable. "assembling a lean, cracked team" terminology feels a bit too-online for ilya. buuut i wish there was more technical detail about what exactly he wants to do differently. i guess its all in his prior published work, but ive read along and still its not obvious what his "one product" will look like. that's a lot of leeway to pivot around in the pursuit of the one product.

4. "Superintelligence is within reach." what is his definition?
Rendering whole movie at ease using AI and making such creation actually interesting and "palatable" are different things, I'd say. It's enough that current CGI in the movies are at best sloppy, so I'm not convinced that generated movie would be any better.

If what Kutcher says actually happens then perhaps something similar to 80s/90s boom of cheap VHS content may repeat.

Indeed. Tried a few times, professional but such time-consuming.

Trying to figure out, how often do we want and need to brush upon the knowledge from the books we've read?

I find myself in a place where I have a few notes, but I barely check them and usually it tastes not as a Friday cocktail, so I'm not that enthusiastic during that time. I understand the value but without joy it doesn't work properly.

And the main questions: Do we really need to surf through a whole list of meaningful sentences and thoughts or we often seek for a specific knowledge that we find handful right now?
People are soon gonna comment here about how in the era of big companies with tons of money and data and compute going all in on AI, it's hard for new companies to achieve SoTA.

My counterpoint: Anthropic was fairly small when it started out, Mistral was (and is) fairly small too. They'll do just fine!
I suppose it depends what they're printing and why. There are plenty of structures that will want to be 180nm and larger for many years to come.

But I definitely agree that pretty soon it will make no sense to artificially limit printing resolution and, for high volume manufacturing, buying a new machine that can't do better than 180nm will make little sense.
They did it intentionally because they didn't want to pay. They had plenty of backing from their families to do so. I agree with you but people who grift aren't usually making the most rational choices anyway.

The bootcamp's selection process is basically picking winners. I was nearly unique among my cohort for my background. It was overwhelmingly ivy grads and silver spoon kids.

They're selecting for people that can afford to move to one of the most expensive cities in the world without working for 6 months. I managed it only by saving enough to pay my rent ahead of time and living off of credit cards for the rest of my spending. I ate a lot of dollar pizza and 6/$1 dumplings that year.
Identify the next WhatsApp, Instagram, or Snowflake when they are still a 10-person team, and join or invest in them.
Depending on how large your save state is, it could be as simple as a function mapping from a list of game objects to the saveable object. That approach works really well with Redux on the web since you really don't want to save most things. Where things really get tricky is when you want to get fancy and support things like saving only the changed portion of the state.

Show HN: Modular Pi Cam
This is the third camera I've designed/made around the raspberry pi parts/ecosystem.

The repo has all the STL files, parts list, most wiring diagrams. The first one was the custom Pi Zero HQ cam which was featured on a Hackaday article/podcast.

The modular version (aside from being able to swap cameras) mostly has the latest software. Recently I added the ability to process videos in the background (ffmpeg merges wav/mp4 files together).

The camera uses crop-zoom-panning for dialing in shots with manual lenses. The menu is created by layering images/text with PIL. Live preview is a little slow as it's SPI based.

If anybody is a pro at python I'd appreciate insight on better code. I've mostly just followed a context-based folder layout regarding where everything is.

I have not added custom/manual settings yet, it uses auto settings for the most part except for when you use a V3 camera module (which has electronic aperture) then it uses the d-pad to set the focus/diopter value.

I have another camera in mind/future build although it's more tailored for videos.

Some sample video I've shot.

At some point I will rewrite the code for a new general purpose DIY camera software from what I've learned, that'll be an undertaking.
There could also be a reverse bounty paid as a salary bonus to the devs if there is no security bug found in N months. A "code quality bonus", if you will. Though only to encourage quality control.

A locomotive was an _input_. Like a GPU, arguably. They _didn't_ really know what a railway could do, at the time; a lot of speculative railway projects were terribly ill-conceived and could never have made economic sense (or in extreme cases, worked at all, at least with the tech available; the first attempt at a Channel Tunnel was in the late 19th century, for instance).

In publications from colleges/universities, that usually means "graduate class of year". When no institution is specified, it usually means "this institution".

So in this case, it means Divakar (graduate of MIT class of 2001) and Prabhakar (graduate of MIT class of 2004).
