It would only be shortsighted if it was some kind of enforceable-in-the-future commitment.

As it is, it is an excellent short-term way to grab mindshare with a sizable chunk of the target market by what amounts to political signalling that costs nothing, either in current resources or in foreclosing future options.

Writing on recent e-ink tablets is like writing on paper. The lag is difficult to notice. I don't know how it compares to Apple tablets.
I agree that many are worse, for the patient. In using the word superficially I meant to imply the modern treatments are more palatable (I am searching for the right word to use in this case and struggling) for the attendants and witnesses to the treatment, not the patient.
Almost no one needs autoscaling; most startups won't get any traffic and even ones that jump a bit can run for many years on a tiny vps. Which is why most devs (by far) have no clue what is serverless and run cpanel with WP. There are companies who benefit from scaling obviously, just not that many.
Opposition to some basic aspect of the state. In this case, that the police should follow orders and treat everyone equally. Which doesn't quite happen in practice, but wanting unequal treatment is a no-no.
That's a remarkable question.

Have you, reader of this comment, ever created something that will subsequently never interact with a living being?

I don't think I have... except maybe when I've blinked Morse into the sky with a flashlight or laser.

There's always someone or something on the other end. I try to remember that.
Blame it on Netflix and other conveniences. People have just gotten too lazy to go out.
By the law of economics it makes it more expensive because now the 75-years old pensioner has to compete on the free market against the likes of Meta, Amazon or Alphabet for access to the same money-exchanged finite resources (electric power, in this case). More demand generates a bigger price. Of course that these big corporations and their fans/share-owners will come up and say that said bigger demand is more than offset by the bigger offer being made available only because of said big corporations, but that’s just bs.

I’m not sure how well that works when the ground keeps moving. Some places manage it to a degree, but the cultures that come to mind (Aztec) weren’t on land as shaky as Japan.
I am not sure if your (and sibling) comment is meant as a polemic, but let me add some context. Of course, communists did exactly that - there was enforced full employment so if you didn't get a job where you lived, you had to find it in the region where it was needed. There were incentives too, often the mining and heavy industry regions were actually the wealthiest in the country. For example, just after the WW2, my grandfather got a chemical engineering job at a petroleum plant in the north of Czechia (the plant was built by Germans to make fuel from the brown coal), and the job came with a nice new rowhouse (which he was able to, after cca 20 years, buy from the government as a private property).

My point is this. Of course, for mining and heavy industry, it makes sense to build factories in a given place, and move people to them, everybody does that. But the Czechia underwent deindustrialization in the 90s, and the moving was touted by economists for the so-called "service economy" (which we were supposedly moving to after liberalization). So I am talking about the idea that people have to move on the whims of the financial capital, the modern ruling class. That's insane, and you still see it, for example, everybody is investing in Sillicon Valley, despite high living costs for the working class there. There are also negative examples, where factories (supposedly hard to move) get suddenly moved because of the tax or other incentives, which don't favor the investors.

The difference is, investors (people who make decisions where to put capital) try to externalize the negligible cost (if any, sometimes it's simply a herd behavior) of investing at different places onto society, where it becomes a pointless but large cost of moving labor around. But a sane society, in my opinion, should rather let people live where they live and let the capital chase them (which is, with the exception of heavy industry, and possibly some intelectual endeavours, Akademgorodok comes to mind, what communists did). It is a choice every society can make. And as I mention earlier, the sanity check is, if you truly move people around only as much as is necessary from the production point of view, then the wealth should appear in the regions based on industries which are not easy to move (because of the additional incentive for the workers to move).
yes that might be a shorter path than overland. it would be my guess that in time deeper than roman, egyptian cash and goods were attractive to people in distant lands. Without going full Thor Heyerdal "Ra" they would have been capable of sailing coastal routes round if not a more direct route across the Arabian Seas

But it's equally likely they traded indirectly with any of the coastal economies around the Gulf, and Horn of Africa.
MLLM by Motiff leverages a classic mixture-of-experts approach, linking pre-trained vision encoders with a large language model (LLM) through connectors. The workflow is as follows:

- Visual Processing: Images are processed by a vision encoder and transformed into visual tokens by the vision-language connector.
- Text Generation: The visual tokens are combined with text tokens, allowing the LLM to generate comprehensive text responses, enhancing UI design interaction.

Due to the scarcity of high-quality UI domain data, we employed the following methods for data collection:

- UI Screenshot Descriptions: Detailed modular descriptions of UI screenshots, covering layouts, components, and functionalities.
- Structured UI Descriptions: Focus on high-quality, knowledge-dense data, precisely identifying and describing UI components.
- UI Task Tuning Data: Constructed a comprehensive set of UI-related tasks, including descriptions, Q&A, pixel-level positioning, and interaction guides.
You might indeed. I do as well, and the long scenery descriptions are basically fluff to me, adding nothing to the experience. That said, I quite enjoy fiction, so that must be something else.
I think the results still tell us something.

Discrepancies in mathematical ability between the various bases would seem to suggest memorization as opposed to generalization.

If you uniformly and simply regulate gun ownership across an entire country so that any of the honest and honorable who want a gun can have one (or more) then you create an environment in which it's far easier to focus on criminals with guns and easier to seperate them from guns.

This is likely impossible in the modern USofA given the requirement for uniform simple regulation across the entire country and the massive historic backlog.

It worked well in Australia; three decades after breaking the world record for deaths at the hand of a crazed lone gunman, in Australia there's been fewer mass shooting than fingers on one hand, and I can go and shoot ULR with my neighbour here in WA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7owwTz7Z0OE

NB: Guns weren't banned in Australalia (no matter what the US NRA claims), regulations were made uniform - two low population states with little to no regulation came in line with existing states, and the territories also.

This made all guns licenced with an annual fee, a central registry, all sales and purchases recorded, no "straw sales", background checks mandatory, etc.
There are plenty of electrical high heat technologies available already. Mostly companies have stuck with gas mainly because it's cheap and avoided exploring alternatives for quite long for that reason.

But there's plasma heating, arc furnaces, induction heating, infrared, resistive heating, heat pumps, etc. You can cover anything from thousands of degrees to (more commonly) hundreds of degree with these. Some steel plants already use arc furnaces or induction heating to melt the steel.

I'm not sure where this technology sits but it all boils down to cost and effectiveness. If it works as advertised, companies will use it.

The thing with green hydrogen is that you need even more electricity to generate it. Which makes some of these alternatives more economical because you can use the electricity directly at a higher efficiency.

> must be super important.

of course it is important. They spent $10B dollars on plant and equipment, and/or R&D, and it generates more value over time (which translates to the $80[0]M earned).

Why would "labour" only be valuable if it was the person _doing_ the work?
I’m thinking also of Canson (founded 1557), the paper manufacturer and Richard de Bas (1326). Even Monnaie de Paris dates back from 864. Actually there are many companies still alive today that are more than 400/500 years old.

There are many countries with high levels of gun ownership but dar far lower violent crime rates. The unifying attribute of those is that they lack poverty and desperation on the scale that were so masterful at creating in America.
A toy example: suppose we have some sudoku. You want to show publicly (maybe in a HN comment) that you know the solution, without revealing the solution itself, because then anybody would know it and be able to post that they know it. A zero-knowledge proof enables this. You could also post a hash of the solution, but then you need to know the solution already to verify a submission. (It would also enable others to copy your answers without really knowing the solution, though that can be fixed using a technique that zero-knowledge proofs also use, a blinding factor).

More useful cases include decoupling payment information from users, to preserve their privacy. You can prove that somebody paid for the action you want to perform, without identifying the payer. For example to offer cloud storage without knowing which data belongs to which user, so when there is a data breach or law enforcement order, the answer to "tell me everything you know about user X" is their payment history, but not which data is theirs.
I agree that this is a more likely path for the human economy to take, and one that would disproportionately benefit from people being able to operate independently, as if stuff like social companionship become the kinds of things humans value in each other, and money is exchanged on that basis, the existence of a class of people who can be compelled by desperation to that kind of service seems kind of rife for abuse to say the least, and not really fruitful to let people hoard wealth to an indefinite degree.

That said, any future economy in which humans value services from each other (in a monetary sense) is one in which humans have not been outcompeted by AI in all possible value-generating endeavors, so by some people's standards it might negate the premise that "AI has replaced all human labor"

Either way, if people really believe something like "AI is obviating the contributions of humans in a way that will eventually increase to 100%" I think it's kind of hard to justify an equilibrium where no one does anything an AI can't do better but we still have societal losers who can't do anything to better their station and don't have autonomy and security. I think no loser in that scenario is likely to accept it, so we're talking about either killing or enslaving a whole lot of people or doing some "wealth" (whatever that means in a post-scarcity world) redistribution
What does everyone think about the 'trusted' setup part of zero-knowledge proofs? Is this a deal breaker for some use-cases or can this phase be done without worrying that the entire process has been hijacked... As has been a core goal of many ah... 'security' councils in the past.
That's exactly what a lot retirement funds would do. And it is a good way to invest.

OCLC’s research staff were instrumental in the development of the initiative, starting with a hallway conversation at the 2nd International World Wide Web Conference in late 1994. OCLC researchers Stuart Weibel and Eric Miller, OCLC Office of Research Director Terry Noreault, Joseph Hardin of the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), and the late Yuri Rubinsky of SoftQuad, were remarking about the difficulty of finding resources on the Web. Their discussion provided the impetus for development of the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set, now known simply as “Dublin Core,” now an international metadata standard.

This is the biggest issue; if something truly goes wrong with k8s, your only way it is destroy everything and redeploy; you will have no clue at all (well very likely; of course there are people who do, just not very many) what happened. This started with AWS roughly 2 decades ago when they simply said; assume it will break and architect for it: don't try to figure why things break, just restore and move on. This was absolutely brilliant: now people deploy million$ projects without actually understanding too much of the environment and pay $$$ to make sure they never have to. Well done Werner.

I love RPN!
I got used to it while my Engineer-Studies in Germany, around 1992.
I got an HP 48SX an it was a hard time to really understand this RPN.
But when you checked it, it was boosting my Math-skills. Because to work properly with RPN you MUST understand what you are doing. it's the exact mimic of calculating with pen and paper. If you don't understand what you are doing, you are doomed.
And so i have to understand what i was doing, which was very supportive to learn math the right way!
By the way, the most funny part of using aa RPN machine was the fact thats Students which wantes to lean my Calculator gave it right back after trying to use the thing the algebraic way.
I just bought a Dell with blank-slate Windows 10 install. Windows Update came up on first boot. Most of the things billg said in this 2003 email remain true. e.g.

(But it was GB of stuff.)

> Then it wanted to do an install. This took 6 minutes and the machine was so slow I couldn't use it for anything else during this time.

(But it was more than 10 minutes multiple times.)

> Then it told me to reboot my machine.

(Probably six reboots after 5 software updates.)

My iCloud keeps reminding me that it is full
I have always bought iCloud before, but as more and more photos are added, the space on my phone is now larger, but iCloud is always full. I observed that my space is mainly occupied by photos and videos, and then I looked for cleaning tools on the market, 3.9$ per week, so I developed an application that can clean up mobile phone albums, using AI for intelligent classification. I want to put it on the App Store. If your space also needs to be cleaned up, please try it and give me feedback. I am always here to help.
Pretty much yeah, by service pack 2 they'd sorted most of it. SP3 was almost good. As far as I was concerned Windows 2000 was the superior choice till well into the XP life cycle. And XP was definitely the better choice till 7.

There isn't a dumpster rotten enough for ME, Vista, or 8.
It doesn't, but it's typically the simplest (for me). It also means I get exactly the version I want compiled with the best optimizations for that machine.

Show HN: Free Chrome extension to secure code generated by ChatGPT and Claude
*TL;DR;*

Demo: https://youtu.be/wEC9qVaB4_Y

I created a free Chrome extension that scans code generated by ChatGPT and Claude.ai detects security issues and helps you fix them.

Please give us feedback about the extension, we want to improve it! (and tell us if you would be interested in using VS Code extension as well)

*Why?*

LLMs were trained on code written by humans (your public code from GitHub), which contained many vulnerabilities. If you feed the LLM with not secure code as training data, the LLM will generate not secure code as output.

Tools like Cursor, Copilot, and any other GPT wrapper are great (I use them as well), but they generate hilariously insecure code. (Trust me, I am a security expert)

> Ye ye, I have some big-name security scanner in my pipeline, it will detect the issues for me…

Don't even get me started on that. Here https://blog.vidocsecurity.com/blog/state-of-security-automa... is my rant about classic vulnerability scanners and how bad they are in practice.

Our vision for the VS Code extension is to create “Grammarly but for code security” (we aim for a similar UX).

+ We are training LLM to detect issues in the code.

Some payment providers in some regions even offer this as a payment option, e.g. Payfast in South Africa.

Sometimes it's also about what systems customers are used to, or fees with each method.

If bank transfer is the only option, it's usually for businesses that payment providers won't touch (even if not illegal).

There is the matter where 99% of people aren't on enterprise, and of the 1% who are, virtually all are running it laden with a pile of corporate garbage.
24/7 on-site is costly and counterproductive when issues are rare but high impact.
