> If you ignore the fact that this is the ubiquitous understanding of what AI is and then envision a different, more charitable and far less popular definition of it, their point about ablism becomes more possibly arguable

I am pointing out that this is not, in my experience, a ubiquitous understanding of what AI is.

This is separate from what the impacts of AI are.

But I'll play and switch topics - a huge portion of publishers stopped accepting direct submissions from authors decades before AI was a thing, because of all of the human-written drivel.

If you want to be a published author and not self-publish (which I would argue is often a better situation than going with a lot of these smaller independent publishers to begin with), get an agent. You don't even have to be a particularly good author for this part - just invested enough to find agents that works in the space you are writing in and chatting with a few. They'll get your manuscript into the hands of publishers. That's their job.

We already created a whole profession pre-AI that largely exists to filter out the bottom of the barrel stuff because it was already overwhelming publishers.
They intended it as an adblocker initially and dialed back the tone because of pressure from ad companies and co.
I'm sure we'll have a github repo with a disable script appear soon, or it will be rolled into the debloat powershell scripts floating around, e.g. `winutil.ps1`
It's not an aether... I mean, aether was a crutch, but the mathematics that Lorentz developed simplified and you just don't need aether -- it's enough to assume that there's a maximum speed of light and the relativity principle.

(Well, that's only true if you assume there's no as-yet undiscovered fields and particles with FTL that we could eventually interact with -- then we would be able to get something like measurements of speeds of everyday particles and photons relative to such fields, and if they were much faster than light then those measurements would look like "absolute speed" to us. But that's sci-fi fantasy.)

Higgs is not aether for electromagnetic waves. It's only a wee bit like aether for matter if you squint real hard, but still, it's not a medium of travel for matter, so it's not an aether.
That is true but not really what I was getting at. Because there are fewer children today, the average person has no casual interaction with children in their day to day, something that was rare in days past. This has led to the idea that children do not belong anywhere that is not explicitly a "family area" which disqualifies them (parents) from going places they need to be, such as events focused on the importance of being a mother and business owner!
Good advice there at the end.

Have some limited training in managing these situations.

Listening and avoiding judgement it keeps the person in crisis talking. As the person in crisis continues to talk and experience connection they begin to move out of crisis mode. Once out of crisis mode then work together to find professional help.
No light sensors - each page has a small magnet embedded within it at a certain place with the pcb having a Hall effect sensor at the corresponding location
Analogies are often useful to remove the emotional charge of a discussion (like those related to parenting) to try and pin down more rational principles.
Maybe it's being taken down because GitHub is not happy about serving as a free CDN for a non-source code repository?
This seems very normal and healthy.
I’m betting the value you were looking was in the OS/2 table in the TrueType/OpenType files.

Every time I have to interact with font metrics data directly, I pour one out for IBM’s greatest and most tragic PC desktop OS.

He never "caught syphilis", and the horse story is also dubious at best.

The truth is that we're never going to know what really happened to Friedrich Nietzsche.
Or just plain old links to malware, because sometimes even non-interactive links in a plaintext document can be presented by an attacker with context that socially-engineers a target to copy-paste a malicious URL into a browser.

I'm actually shocked that Github didn't have Adguard white-listed to prevent this from being picked up by malware scanning tools already. And it's a shame, because the whole point of scanning for malware is to protect people from falling victim to new attacks, and killing the filter repository is entirely counter to that goal.
Publicly announcing that someone will be fire is very unprofessional, or an extreme measure. And (IANAL) publicly talking about details is profoundly unwise.

Add things up - your item requesting that people violate a number of social taboos.
Looks like this is from Jan. 2024...and there doesn't seem to be an update on the article itself.

One might be able to find more information on the Committee's webpage (although, I'm not very familiar with the UK government...so this might not be accurate), https://committees.parliament.uk/work/7827/large-language-mo...
This was my reaction. This posts sounds bonkers insane to me. It also takes smarter to mean "better at everything you do" that's not what smart means. There are tons of people smarter then me that I can outcompete in my niche.
I used it a lot way back in the day... Because I was young and it wasn't perl. Then I did a CS degree, and found many better things. I think this summed up my experience:

So it goes into the sky instead? That seems more sightly, but the CO2 emissions must be astronomical.

Since we're on the topic of higher order functions, arrow functions allow you to express function currying very succinctly (which some people prefer). This is a contrived example to illustrate the syntactical differences:

const arrow = (a) => (b) => `${a}-${b}`

function verbose(a) {
return function (b) {
return `${a}-${b}`
}
}

function uncurried(a, b) {
return `${a}-${b}`
}

const values = ['foo', 'bar', 'baz']
values.map(arrow('qux'))
values.map(verbose('qux'))
values.map(uncurried.bind(null, 'qux'))
values.map((b) => uncurried('qux', b))
Yet you fail to argument your point.
According to data they show us, they do know that. But they are going to use EULA and try to get away with that. Not sure how this is gonna fly in EU. But I will not hesitate to jump to Linux once this is finalized. They are going to lose a handful of users.

If the ransomware gangs made off with the ransoms, victims would stop paying them. Most victims pay the ransom (after negotiation) and the vast majority of ransomware operators provide valid keys/decryptors in return. It's a functional market, however warped.

There's no BBB, but, yes, insurance carriers keep notes on the different ransomware gangs.
In the north of the UK, dinner=lunch and tea=dinner.
You seem to not understand the point of this conversation. You admit Tokyo is a walkable city. And you think it’s impossible to convert existing infrastructure to be like Tokyo. The point of this conversation is existing infra is the way it is because of various influences and choices, some of which can be called “car culture.”

Car culture is not a foregone conclusion. Claiming 100% of the world has to be converted to Tokyo and if that is not possible then we should give up is hilarious. What an illogical, sad and pitiful argument/attitude. Cities are being changed every day, and those ongoing investments can be made to make cities more car dependent or not.

Not to mention there are A Lot of cities more dependent on cars than lots of other cities many with nearly identical climates. Tokyo isn’t the only one lol. It’s not some magical unicorn.
Tea is another name for the main evening meal (Dinner) in the UK
Heh, I don't think I've ever seen a hn post about where I live.

Anyone can tell you that fishing, processing, and the markets are a very complex problem and it would be true. But I would just like to highlight this little excerpt.

> Icicle was bought by a private equity firm in 2007, and then sold in 2016. In 2020, it merged with the owner of a shuttered Petersburg plant and became OBI Seafoods. The curtailed operations last summer meant fewer workers in town spending money, and delayed payments for fishermen.

It's also my understanding that the wages for processors are less than $2 higher than they were in the eighties. Local kids home on summer break rarely work at the cannery anymore. I'll also add that a lot of seasonal workers from other countries won't be back next year because the processor is doing away with overtime. People want to show up and work 16hr days for three months, then go back to lcol areas. You can't do that when you're limited to 8hrs a day.
IVF is moving the goalposts.

> most circumstances aren’t ideal

Yes when women are forced to treat having and raising children as a disease (no children allowed in "professional" settings, dont take time off for family, etc) instead of a normal part of life to be celebrated and encouraged.

Doctors don't have the children's best interests in mind. They need to avoid liability at all costs, which largely means 'avoid death and disfigurement even if the kid isn't as well off long term'. As a bonus, doing unnecessary things gets them paid more.

> What are you basing this on?
> we won’t be able to create an arrival womb that outperforms a natural one under ideal circumstances for some time.

Ever. Because factory made, lab grown, and mass produced products have never and inherently can never have the biodiversity of the real thing despite what the marketers might tell you. Even our 'natural' food mass produced in monoculture fields is devoid of nutrients compared to small farms.

> Formula isn’t trying to replicate breast milk, it’s trying to be cheap and convenient

Junk food for infants.
This is not the internet I want to live in

Storytime! In a previous workplace a disagreement over fire safety with escalated into uncalled-for and unwelcome dominance behaviour from my supervisor. All attempts to deescalate were rebuffed, and now there is litigation from multiple plaintiffs, this person took out her sociopathic tendencies on many people. With a minimum of professional detachment or a HR department with a clue the peace would have been kept. (Yes, a few months later the fire marshal issued a code violation, as predicted.) You may not wish to live in that internet, but we live in a world where sociopaths are overrepresented in leadership positions.

Something rubs me here just the wrong way. Rachel complains about ageism and contempt for women in tech, and with good reason, and then she takes it out on an overenthusiastic candidate who can't read the room.
This is incredibly impressive engineering and a wonderful UI! As a dev, I would have to agree with some of the other comments here about access to generated code. I'd definitely suggest this to non-tech friends but I wouldn't see much of a use for it personally without code output.

I was curious what your plans are for code output in the future, have you considered some kind of React integration? If this tool had Storybook-style codebase integration I would 100% pay for a subscription. For example, being able to export the website design as a React project with organized components, allow me to modify the component code to customize behavior, and continue to iterate on the design and apply changes to my codebase?

I think an important thing for me would be to have the ability to continue to modify the design after exporting and be able to apply the design changes without having to lose my code changes.

Obviously just my personal preference so take that with a grain of salt, but I know with that feature this would completely replace Figma in my workflow and would definitely be worth paying for.

Congratulations on your launch!

This stuff is so incredibly dangerous is should not be on a laptop without the persons informed, personal and definitely not coerced by corporate or partners consent. The risk is simply too great for it to be switched on without the former if it is installed.

Do parents not expect other parents to act with consideration to other members of society? I believe the fundamental principle remains the same in either instance.

Whether or not I have a disability does not change my mind about whether people in a wheelchair should board a plane first.

My kids get to be the absolute center of my world, but I’m careful not to expect them to be the center of anyone else’s.
TIL that signal speed in copper and in fiber is roughly similar, around 2/3 c. Thanks!
The end of the electroweak epoch is estimated at 10^-12 seconds after the big bang. So while I understand that something existed prior to the universe as we understand it now, for the overwhelming majority of the existence of reality we have lived in a reality after the electroweak phase transition, and the universe we live in today and the features we recognize of it are a result of forces including the effect of the higgs field on mass and thus gravity.

So you're right technically, but it has nothing to do with what I said in my first comment - without the higgs field the universe as we know it today would be unrecognizable, and a universe without a higgs field would not look like ours.
That's true, but NYC still ships trash all over the place: https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/8714ca7999a64704b59721c...

At the end of the day it has to go somewhere, and there's no room for it in the five boroughs, so they pay what they need to pay. And it's still cheaper than sending it overseas (otherwise they would).
My understanding is that it’s a DOM element hider. While it is possible to hide some ads with it, it probably won’t disable the tracking.
Honestly, I am with her on the KitKat argument. You're a monster. /s
Rust in Linux lead retires rather than deal with more "nontechnical nonsense"
>Babies conceived through IVF already have identical outcomes to naturally conceived babies.

Except for the dozens of fetuses that are not brought to term and flushed because they would not survive to birth.
For those that haven't bothered clicking the link, they add:

> Github was struggling with "malware" comment spam lately and we added several filter rules that block this stuff. Maybe this is what triggered disabling the repo?

The comments so far immediately jumping to conspiracy speculation is depressing.

It's already back up.
Well said except, biologically, giving birth is the highest calling and only women can give natural birth. Yet!
What are you talking about? It's well documentation and studied: https://www.amacad.org/publication/daedalus/syphilis-nature-...
We still ship scrap metal and other recyclables over.

China, and other countries, put limits on such imports, as their recycling industries were not exactly environmentally friendly. Technically you can still import plastic waste into China, but with a very low contamination percentage that's hard to achieve.
> There is almost always an "obviously right" path (the one used when opening the file).

The path used while opening a file is easy to get confused. If your cwd changed names or was deleted since you entered it, and you open an executable with a relative path, what is the "obviously right" path then?
I like the 3 for the 'ayn (since it's the same shape, only backwards). My Darija is poor, what's the 9 standing in for in "fe9t"? Is the 7 in "wa7d" a ح ?
I wonder if in 100-500 years they will mine landfills for materials or elements that have become scarce. Or maybe they will just keep them as natural gas reactors.
I wonder if they publish their fetlife handle on their website :^)
> Synchronizing pong to music with constrained optimization

Nothing new. Apparently there are references to people doing this in ancient and medieval times.

Bit embarrassing for intel that they had to swallow their pride to get this one made by TSMC. But, by that same token, that alone is good reason to believe it should be highly competitive with everyone else (AMD, Qualcom, Apple) building cpus at TSMC. Particularly for it's specific niche (professional thin and light notebooks). Lets just hope Windows, and the usual OEM bloatware, don't entirely mess up it's potential for excellent battery life.
We currently have two great designers at the company, so we probably won't hire another UX person until later in Q4 after we grow engineering & product a bit.
Fundamental CS is only interesting because it has been broken-through so thoroughly that you cannot possibly optimize it any further. Transistor logic, floating-point standards, B-tree algos, bitwise operations and language syntax are well-explored technologies at this point. If better alternatives existed in-theory, we'd be teaching them instead.

It's mostly just the virtue of a public shared asset that the most demanded optimizations are done the earliest. If I wanted to push the state of the art forward, I'd have to move halfway across the country, get a new major, and then get paid peanuts to work in a TSMC factory. No thanks, I'll keep my Herman-Miller and Starbucks allowance working on boring old software.
It wasn’t a commodity! It was a single-owner proprietary technology. You needed a license from Rambus to manufacture it. And at least at the time it commanded a premium price over true commodity DRAM.

People on Slashdot got really worked up when Intel signed a deal with Rambus to make RDRAM the only supported technology on Intel x86—from which they relatively quickly backtracked.

Anandtech (sniff) of course has great contemporary background:

Yeah, would be a great way to consume free solar during the brightest part of the day.

Electricity in -> bulk chemical feedstocks out and no long distance transportation, handling and disposal costs.

The nice thing about plasma burners is that you can capture the resulting syngas and not just exhaust tons of CO2 into the atmosphere as with an incinerator.
> we would just go back to the kind of world where aggressive, persistent hawkers get in your face on every street

In all fairness, that's what we have right now. It's just that the hawkers are ad companies and they use mass media instead of going to the trouble and expense of having live humans doing it. But the end result is the same.
If statistics are to be believed they're going to get a nother wave or few

Observation:

The more broad understanding here is that in computer programming there is a difference between a symbol and a referent (https://open.maricopa.edu/com110/chapter/3-1-language-and-me....) AKA variable and its value.

(Phrased colloquially: "The finger pointing at the Moon is not the Moon.")

Information about a given computer program may be found in its symbols (variable names) and its referents (values that variables are set to).

The referents may be set in source code (i.e. a string or other constant) and be visable/greppable at design-time -- and/or they may be set at runtime (and be non-greppable!)

The article is good; I have nothing against it, it makes an excellent point.

But if we look at what I've outlined above as three possible places for information (source symbol, source referent, runtime referent), then we observe that one of these possibilities is not covered by grep -- that is, runtime referent.

This leads to the question:

"What if grep could be used to search for runtime referents, aka runtime values of different variables?"

Well, in traditional compiled languages, we can't do that without significant monkeying with the language...

In interpreted and Lisp-like languages, yes, the above is possible -- but without being able to be very specific about the what/how/when of the runtime strings (or more broadly, values) to be grepped, doing the above could generate huge amounts of data and speed degradation, particularly if a value is set and reset multiple times in a long loop!

But could it be done? Definitely! Efficiently? Well, that's one of the questions! Deterministically? If random values are in play, probably not. With full code coverage so that values can be known from code paths not taken can be known? That scenario would be challenging to say the least.

Point is, it may be an interesting future language feature to consider in various scenarios, for future language designers...

"The ability to grep through all runtime referents, aka all runtime values, of all variables, for a given runtime of a program..."

Hmmm... now that I think about it, what if a language was created such that you could pass it a special flag, if you passed it this special flag, then variables would maintain their histories in memory (at great expense to performance -- this would be for debugging only!), and then you could grep that memory?

Yes, I know... given the pace of technology, there probably is some system or systems that might implement some aspect or aspects of this...

rr comes to mind:

https://rr-project.org/

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31617600

(Maybe the rr maintainers could be persuaded to implement some interface with grep, either pre or post program run, or maybe implment a timer where the user can grep their program for various strings at various time intervals...)

Anyway, good article!
Strange article.

It's basically a list of nice things going for PHP, but you can write that for literally any tech in any context — like, I could argue that you should build web sites with the Unity game engine or raw Python by listing out-of-context stats all day long.

Whenever the author actually compares, it breaks down:

- Ok, so Lavarel is from 2011 — React is from 2013, Django is from 2005...so what

- Sure, there may be a new js framework everyday, but not a new version of js...and anyway, an active and innovative community is automatically bad why?

- PHP has "2 strong framework players" — ok, so has Python, js has two to four...

- "lack of advanced technology" — what does this even mean?
