I'd assume there to be regional variations like most countries, right? Hard to blanket one way or another.

For example, my wife learned English later in life and can understand neutral/midwestern American fine, but has tons of trouble with southern and northeastern regional accents.
I knew an old guy who worked at Wordperfect, he absolutely hated Pete Peterson with passion. From what he told me, Pete would be exactly the kind of guy that would insist on an Return to Office police just because if you are not suffering, you're not giving us back all we pay you.
One of the worries he’s repeatedly expressed to Moore is that AI and software generally are pulling talent away from semiconductor engineering.

Perhaps he should try paying them accordingly.
Sure, but there are different variables in the training data that may influence each inference more or less. So if you can observe which variables influenced the inference and how much then you can (at least attempt to) construct an explanation.

i recently failed a timed test because while it was asking a simple question about manipulating CSV data. i was unfamiliar with the CSV library because i simply never had to use CSV data before. so i had to look it up and that cost me to much time. on the other hand, another question in the same test was about variables in a function in a metaclass that were giving the wrong values because of a scope issue. i had enough experience to understand scope issues and was able to solve the problem easily.

the CSV question was easy to look up, and with time anyone could have solved it. failing it because it took to long was frustrating. the scope question would have been difficult to answer without experience, and even looking it up would not have been easy without knowing what to search for.
Ah sorry about this. This Show HN was targeted towards folks who have a passing familiarity with Jupyter Notebooks but I should have explained a bit more.

Jupyter is a web application that lets a user execute python code in either a local or remote "kernel" - which is just a Python process with a communication layer.

You can then do literate programming (meaning run some code and immediately see results including plots and tables) within this web interface. Basically a much fancier REPL. The code can run either locally on your machine or remotely in the aforementioned python "kernel".

Here's a quick introduction to Notebooks that I found on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZ952vChhuI

If Donald Trump ordered the military to manicure the lawn at Mar-a-Lago, would that be considered an official act? Obviously not. The Emoluments Clause dictates that all federal officeholders cannot benefit from their positions besides their direct compensation.
I guess I got a little confused, because a different form with some de-morganing and contraposed implications feels more natural to me in plain-language proofs.

I don't specifically know Ubuntu minimal. But suggesting that a minimal OS has containerd pre-installed isn't exactly the "minimal" I'm thinking of.

Most municipalities now have online records as part of their recording keeping system. This includes all of the tax information about a property. Might even include records of various permits.

If they’re not online, then they should have records in the municipal or county office. Might be a small fee to pull them, but they’ll have them.

If they don’t have records, then you may want title insurance.
The point is understood, but it is a problem with copyright laws, and not only with the license.

This is why I had suggested before, that if you cannot just abolish copyright laws, then to make the license which will allow freedom except that it cannot further restrict anyone by further copyright. No attribution is required, no notices of changes are required, etc; the only requirement is that any further restrictions you claim on your version will be invalid. This is therefore effectively similar than as though you did abolish copyright laws, but only this program. (However, for practical purposes, I had allowed to (optionally) relicense by GNU GPL3 and GNU AGPL3, although only if you are able to follow the terms of those licenses (e.g. having the source codes available, knowing who wrote the original code, etc).)

I think you're grossly putting your own political viewpoint on this non-issue and frankly accusing someone of sexism based pro-nouns used in documentation.

I love the idea of this project! I'm looking forward to giving it a try. I'm not your typical user (I'm more interested in what features a browser lets me disable than what it supports) and while right now Firefox comes out way ahead of everyone else in terms of empowering users to customize things to fit their needs it feels like with every update they introduce more features I need to disable and they're growing more aggressive about data collection.

I hope that as Ladybird grows you'll keep privacy, security, and customization in mind because our options in that space are very limited.

Great question, I don’t try too hard I usually just post on Reddit
You ask a good question. Who is paying for AI, and is OpenAI profitable. A lot of the demand is there when cost is subsidized by investors -- will it continue when price actually must bare costs and profits?
It's become a really indispensable productivity boosting tool. Code, translation, broad research, summarization, writing drafts, finding that word you know but just can't remember, making up terrible puns... the list goes on.

Hours of work compressed into a minute or two at most.
That's a fair concern and one I've been through myself. I think what we've tried to do is a little bit the opposite honestly - hundreds of thousands of people already use Jupyter for data work and we started with the idea to go where the users are precisely so that they don't have to switch tools.

By making a fork that can be installed in one line of code, we're hoping that we don't make Jupyter user's go through decision fatigue for yet another dev tool. Instead, the idea is to simply make their existing tool better.
The features missing thing was true years ago, but Apple significantly increased their investment in Safari about 3 years ago and it really gained ground. If you subtract all the Chrome-invented features, they aren't too far off.

I wouldn't be so quick to do that. A potentially defective self-driving vehicle is a more serious matter since it could affect many cars and will likely attract much more scrutiny and further investigation… which, in this scenario, would quickly reveal that the vehicle was under manual control at the time of the incident. Now, you have a traffic ticket and a criminal obstruction of justice charge.
Is this surprising at all though?

I think the only reason why Nixpkgs has a derivation for Ladybird is because it is not really possible to build Ladybird (or really almost any software) the "obvious" way in NixOS. What Nixpkgs provides is more like build recipes that work within Nix's sandboxed environment with optionally cached binaries, rather than actual packages. Because of that, it's kind of awkward: no specific decision is ever made to publish packages for some unfinished software, it's just that the act of writing a derivation kind of implicitly does do that.

Clearly, some upstreams do not appreciate that NixOS provides non-standard or sometimes-unfinished versions of their software, but it's either that or the software is essentially unusable and uncompilable on NixOS.

I do wonder if there is a potential for productive compromise, though. Maybe it would be desirable to have a QMessageBox warning to the user at startup that the distribution is unsupported and bugs should not be reported upstream. I think that the folks maintaining the Ladybird derivation would be happy to take feedback into account.
Are there any interesting mathematical problems that can be encoded with 5 states and 2 symbols, which now we can prove using BB(5)?
In my book, 1M people is when a city starts to become a “proper” city. It’ll host major events, invest in public transit (beyond bus), have extensive infrastructure, have extremely thorough airport service, likely have many walkable neighborhoods, and generally feel like a city.

Under 1M and the city center tends to be very small with most people driving from the suburbs.

Chez Scheme is probably the fastest well-maintained Scheme implementation. It's open source (MIT license). I would describe the performance as Go-like, rather than C-like, since it's garbage collected. But it's pretty darn good, especially for a dynamically typed language.

page 31:

"In 2023, our total GHG emissions were 14.3 million tCO2e [metric tons of carbon dioxide], representing a 13% year-over-year increase and a 48% increase compared to our 2019 target base year. This result was primarily due to increases in data center energy consumption and supply chain emissions. As we further integrate AI into our products, reducing emissions may be challenging due to increasing energy demands from the greater intensity of AI compute, and the emissions associated with the expected increases in our technical infrastructure investment."

"...reducing emissions may be challenging..."

The supposed justification for this level of pollution and water use [see page 42] is debatable. The expected profits are highly speculative.

What seems more clear is that unless things change it is going to to nigh impossible for young people to rise to challenges of climate change while simultaneously being addicted to mobile/Wifi internet access. Disconnecting a kid today from the internet is like separating a junkie from their drugs.
Since when does OpenAI have an ad platform?
Made national news radio in Australia. Begs questions of the supervision of datasets and access controls, because the implications here over consent and abuse of access rights in systems like youtube are quite large.

I'm led to believe it was a quite small subset sample. So the implications are that millions of images have been harvested illegally in a dataset of billions of images.
This is absolutely ridiculous take. If true, I'm not sure how any work gets done in America.
I think this is another precursor step in recreating our reality digitally.
As long as you're able to react to the persons' state, with enough metrics you're able to recreate environments and scenarios within a 'safe environment' for people to push through and learn to cope with the scenarios they don't feel safe to address in the 'real' world.

When the person then emerges from this virtual world, it'll be like an egg hatching into a new birth, having learned the lessons in their virtual cocoon.

If you don't like this idea, it's an interesting thought experiment regardless as we can't verify, we're not already in a form of this.

Meta 3D Gen represents a significant step forward in the realm of 3D content generation, particularly for VR applications. The ability to generate detailed 3D models from text inputs could drastically reduce the labor-intensive process of content creation, making it more accessible and scalable. However, as some commenters have pointed out, the current technology still faces challenges, especially in producing high-quality, detailed geometry that holds up under the scrutiny of VR’s stereoscopic depth perception. The integration of PBR texturing is a promising feature, but the real test will be in how well these models can be refined and utilized in practical applications. It’s an exciting development, but there’s still a long way to go before it can fully meet the needs of VR developers and artists.
Cool. Why, though? I mean, it's not like this project has any practical value anyway, but wouldn't it be actually easier and more efficient to actually implement a C compiler in VimScript? Or is the vimscript ELVM backend the actual end-goal here, and C-compiler at question is basically just a proof that it works?
If I see a vulnerability in Ghostscript, I basically assume is full RCE at this point..

Spaniard here. I daily talk with Argentines. Maybe the grammar and slang get obtuse sometimes, but overall once we talk formal Spanish the issues on jargon dissappear.

Also, the Spanish Royal Academy for the language logs every word from Iberia to Mexico and the Patagonia at their online dictionary, so everyone can guess the meaning of a local word in the spot.
Would you rather have nobody able to buy bread? Regulation can make entire industries unviable too.. then nobody gets any.

I say this as someone allergic to soy/legumes... It's in everything. I don't expect all food suppliers to stop using or handling it. I'm also willing to forgo bread because of my allergies.

Much like people with gluten allergies shouldn't expect the govt to force everyone to stop producing bread with gluten.

Every plant has someone allergic to it. At some point you have to be responsible for yourself. "May contain" means may contain, or: processed or stored near... That should have been good enough.

American has an extremely weak state. The government is incapable of accomplishing basic tasks. Men like Trump want to weaken the state further.

Look at Trumps actions during COVID. Did he use the crisis to grab power? Declare a state of emergency? Declare martial law? Suspend habeas corpus?

No he told the states to handle it.

The real fear Americans have isn't a Hitler situation, but a Hindenburg situation.

Mh. One thing I observe at work is: Increasing what I call the technical relativistic speed of deployments to insane levels is either impossible or trivial. Like, we have C++ code in the company with bindings to WIN32 APIs. We're not talking about speed with those things. But for a lot of relatively modern software, it's pretty easy to implement automation that can make a fairly robust deployment take a few minutes. Containers make this easier, but you can have the same thing with ruby (capistrano), python (liberal use of venvs), Java and so on on VMs as well. Most of this is just a bit of config management or container orchestration config.

However, quite a few dev-teams make many very stupid decisions and suddenly your 2 minute long deployment without downtime requires 4 weeks of coordination with customers, because people figured to include a breaking change in their API, opposed to some incremental evolution. Or because people implemented a big-bang database migration, which will take hours of downtime, opposed to some incremental 2-3 step database model evolution. Or they pile 23 steps you "have to manually do after a deployment, but just maybe and not always and it's not obvious when" on top. Or because people get scared because of either bad decisions or dumb stuff just happening. Or because people don't understand different rollout strategies to hedge risk and then they get scared and then they don't deploy and then everything explodes once they deploy a crapton of stuff at once. Which, naturally, catches on fire.

The question of how to rollout a change smoothly, silently and with little coordination seems to be an entirely alien black magic to some people.

And from there, a bunch of our new applications and services with less baggage actually become slower than our old veteran products with loads of experience and really ugly baggage behind them.

It's just utterly strange to me that we are approaching a level in which we in ops can confidently reconfigure, failover and restart database clusters on git-push and some dev-teams are so worried about swapping stateless code in their system.
You know, that's a great question. I love his work, but then again, I don't have the best read on 'stereotypically normal entertainment preferences.'
