You must have been extremely lucky because I've had multiple apps just trigger endless SELinux warnings on RHEL8 (Rustdesk is an example) and I very much subscribe to the views in this article:

https://www.ctrl.blog/entry/selinux-unmanageable.html

I'm not going to waste my time fighting SELinux to stop non-existent threats (I'm just using a desktop and I'm not a high profile target). Too many false positives and I'll just turn it off. And in my experience there are always too many false positives.
So is it game over for IA?
Male dominance as a gender is about physical prowess. That's not the same thing as an individual male person being dominant based on physical prowess.

European powers were dominant over other countries and colonized them due to superior weaponry and organized armies that used said weaponry, but that doesn't mean every European leader was a soldier toting around a gun themselves.
If you want to get far away from software, I'd recommend mathematics (as code is built on logic, the same thing math is), law (the first barrier to entering law school is the LSAT, which is basically a logical reasoning test, which says a fair bit about priorities), or philosophy (which requires many of the same skills, e.g., logical reasoning, precision, et cetera), none of which have been recommended yet (I'm especially surprised by 'mathematician' - it's pretty similar.) If I had to rank, mathematician would be easiest to switch into, followed by philosopher, then lawyer.

Good luck!
Happy to review this in 5 years
If the pandemic didn't bring real a new world order to the economy I don't know what else would honestly.

OWASP Top 10 Proactive Controls
The US population today is twice what it was in 1960. I know I am oversimplifying, but so much of the the history of long term growth could be intepreted as older people benefitting from progressively larger younger generations. More people = more production and more consumption = growth. I really wonder if this is sustainable with the projected future of population decline.

I thought the person you were responding too was saying that isn’t what physical libraries do.

Also, as far as I know that isn’t what physical libraries do. They buy licenses to share e-books. And don’t physically scan anything.
No, "Satoshi Nakamoto" does not translate to "Central Intelligence" in Japanese. Here's a breakdown of the name:

- *Satoshi* (さとし) is a common Japanese given name, often meaning "wise" or "clear-thinking."
- *Nakamoto* (中本) is a common Japanese surname, with "naka" (中) meaning "middle" or "center," and "moto" (本) meaning "origin" or "foundation."

While "Naka" could be loosely interpreted as "center," and "moto" as "origin," this does not equate to "Central Intelligence." The name does not directly relate to any specific phrase or concept like "Central Intelligence." It's a common Japanese name with meanings unrelated to intelligence agencies or organizations.
Am I correct that the use case of doing this is 1. Scale and 2. Defeating Cloudflare et. al?

I do scraping, but I struggle to see what these tools are offering, but maybe I'm just not the target audience. If the websites don't have much anti-scraping protection to speak of, and I only do a few pages per day, is there still something I can get out of using a tool like Browserbase? I wonder because of this talk about semantic markdown and LLMs, what's the benefit between writing (or even having an AI write) standard fetching and parsing code using playwright/beautifulsoup/cheerio?
Can you be more specific about what government interference would prevent a company from wanting to go public?
It's not OCR. Those colored dots along the periphery are fiducials. They're how Realtalk recognizes a program.

Every object that you can interact with in Realtalk has a unique set of fiducials. When the camera sees one, it looks up its behavior and projects it accordingly.
Well said. One of my friends came to cyber management from a legal background. You'd better believe my buddy is calling the most respected nerd in the building when learning about a possible vulnerability. Knowing your technical limitations and where to go to get answers is an important skill for tech managers.
No, I’m saying it was those who went to silicon valley and got lucky to strike up relationships with CAPITAL who made it.

Overwhelmingly talent isnt sufficient. For most startups, the old boys network gets to choose who gets millions. And the next rounds a few people choose who will get billions.

The Problem with the "Hard Problem"
ARM wins the instruction set wars and buys the tech. Future ARM processors will have x86 hardware that offers compatibility with legacy software. Eventually the instruction set is forgotten.
Looks cool, would love support for RDF Graphs. The reason I prefer those is because the ontology is already well defined in a lot of cases which is 80% of the battle with Knowledge Graphs in my experience. Without a well defined Ontology I think LLM <> KG integration will not live up to its potential. LLMs have to know what nodes and edges really mean across diverse datasets
It's true that some of those things are probably useful in some way, sure. But you can't just axiomatically assume that all religious practices were useful in general to people, rather than being useful in specific ways to specific people.
Well put, so to rephrase: SELinux is not for most people and cooperation, therefore, it is sensible to just disable it, making RHEL less secure than Debian in practice.
I wonder what the limits are? Don't see any mention on the announcement page.
1.62kg pro vs 1.24kg air? For me that's the same class.
So if you physically copy and paste code, or edit it with a pen, that won't work, right? The embodiment feels superficial.

A phishing email might look like it’s from a website or game you know and trust. It might say something like, "Your account is in trouble! Click here to fix it!" or "You've won a cool prize! Click to claim it!" But when you click on the link or provide the information they ask for, you’re actually giving your information to a bad person who wants to use it to cause trouble.
From Wikipedia entry on Debadging: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debadging

>Some people driving high-end luxury cars do it so as not to flaunt the fact their car is any different from any other model and remove the badge. In Europe in particular, it is a common request for purchasers of high-end models of cars like BMW or Mercedes-Benz, etc. to have the emblems removed.

Since I am in the U.S., I need to contact my local Mercedes and BMW dealers and ask if their cars can be ordered without the badge. Stay tuned.

> with a unique set of fiducials along the edges

I suspect each piece of paper, if examined with a good enough camera, has a unique fingerprint, like a snowflake, and perhaps this could be used in the future for an "Isomer Addressed Filesystem". In other words, all pieces of paper ship with a UUID already, woven into their atoms.
The abstract does a great job of summarizing the OP's findings:

> I show that the decline in interest rates and corporate tax rates over the past three decades accounts for the majority of the period’s exceptional stock market performance. Lower interest expenses and corporate tax rates mechanically explain over 40 percent of the real growth in corporate profits from 1989 to 2019. In addition, the decline in risk-free rates alone accounts for all of the expansion in price-to-earnings multiples. I argue, however, that the boost to profits and valuations from ever- declining interest and corporate tax rates is unlikely to continue, indicating significantly lower profit growth and stock returns in the future.

Great paper, very though-provoking.

Thank you for sharing it on HN!
that approach seems so off... i'm curious how it's justified.

like countless hundreds of quotes on execution vs ideas, here is one: "Ideas don’t make you rich. The correct execution of ideas does."

anyways, i'm gonna spend a little more time this evening to really dig in.

It's not a "fuck you". What the Dolphin devs want/expect is simply mutually exclusive with how app dev on Windows works. This is a case of Chesterton's Fence, as those decisions have obvious reasons if you think about them outside of the narrow-minded constraints of an open-source emulator project.
The companies that compose the entire stock market also change all the time, and follow the same pattern (winners rise, losers go bankrupt). So the S&P 500 is still a good benchmark of overall stock market performance.
Our long term goal is to design enzymes for chemical manufacturing. We decided to build AlphaFold3 because we had seen how useful AlphaFold2 had been for the protein design field. No one else was building it fast enough for us, so we decided we should do it ourselves. We are committed to training and open-sourcing the full version with ligand and nucleic acid prediction capabilities as well since it is so useful for the biotech industry.
Thanks!
You may want to read the methodology - most of the imports broke and it ended up being a lot of manual work: https://github.com/team-watchdog/colombo-skylines/wiki/Intro...

As for limits, when modded to the hilt, Skylines will give you:

298.6 sq km maximum area

1,048,576 maximum citizens

49,152 maximum individual buildings

65,636 maximum vehicles in motion

65,636 maximum parked vehicles

256 maximum transport lines (bus routes, train routes)

That will no doubt change the nature of the city you can set up - you could do a large city very sparsely, or a smaller area in greater detail.

> But this has been common knowledge amongst yoga and qigong practitioners for 1000+ years.

Okay, but there's also "common knowledge" amongst practitioners of yoga or qigong or other traditional practices that's complete bullshit. There's good reason to not just accept that traditional practices must be smart automatically.

> If you are scientifically minded, a lot of the explanations of how qigong works are hard to reconcile but if you actually try it earnestly you'd realise there's something there.

I'm guessing they're less "hard to reconcile" and more "completely made up".
Do they think that having to carefully monitor the movement of your mouth might also distract someone who is trying to drive?

Or did they not think about that at all because this is somewhere between lip service (heh) to driver safety and an abuse tactic?
Yeah, very few people who want and can afford 3-bedroom homes want to be renting apartments. I assume that even in New York City, the number of 3-bedroom condos is pretty minimal as a percentage because most people who want that kind of space just move to West Chester or Connecticut.
What I'm describing is physics 102 and non-controversial. No one is pretending anything.

What you're referring to are competing interpretations for what it means when the superposition of eigenstates collapses into a single state, which we call wave function collapse. The most popular interpretation is the Copenhagen interpretation (observation causes collapse), and the second most probably the many worlds hypothesis (we only observe collapse due to being in one path among all real paths).

Quantum uncertainty doesn't mean you have to approach every topic going "ohh we just don't know! No one can be certain about anything! Leave this to the experts!" These are surface-level descriptions of basic quantum phenomena.
Another impressive aircraft by Scaled Composites. Nice. Being acquired by Northrop Grumman after Rutan retired hasn't stopped them.
That's actually a reasonable explanation.

And then it seems the manager failed to articulate that point (or perhaps they did, but people are the meeting were so upset that they weren't quite listening anymore).
Others in the thread have already made good points about Yuzu, but to add to the discussion: A lot of people think Nintendo is indiscriminate with their takedowns, but they typically only go after things that:

* They think will significantly hurt their brand (or already has)

* They think will significantly hurt their bottom line (or already has)

An interesting case study on this is in 2006, before the launch of the Wii, Nintendo issued removal of certain NES ROMs from popular ROM-sharing websites. Rather than removing all Nintendo ROMs from those sites, Nintendo specifically provided them a list of the NES games that were slated to launch on Wii Virtual Console. I'm struggling to find a source for this, but I distinctly remember it happening because there were some odd inclusions like Wario's Woods, while Super Mario Bros. 3 remained untouched. If anyone is good at searching old news articles, I would really love to have a tangible source for this memory of mine.

On the other hand, the worst takedown I've ever seen Nintendo make was when they issued a C&D against a brilliant Commodore 64 port of Super Mario Bros.: https://www.eurogamer.net/nintendo-takes-down-mario-bros-c64...

Pretty sure that one happened because the release effectively went viral, with a lot of mainstream tech/gaming websites covering it. Still, as a retrocomputing enthusiast, it's hard for me to be an apologist over that one.
I meant that digitally lending the books out that IA owns 1-to-1 in the same way a real library lends out physical books should legally be treated the same, regardless of any ebook-specific licensing.
Victor's previous work has all been huge inspirations to me, but after many years of this project that I initially was hyped for there are just some big red flags to me that this isn't the way forward really or even a good use of his talent.

Big talk about solving the worlds problems out in the room and not on the phone I agree with in sentiment but I feel all that big talk falls completely flat on it's face when the project you're pouring money and most importantly time only exists in one space and only benefits a small group of academics and then that issue being gushed over as if its a benefit when really it just means you're not actually building in the real world at all you're building a fake thing in a fake world for the 0.01% of people to larp with.

Think the world of computing could greatly benefit from Brett but almost in his success it means he'll just be able to play pretend in the world of "non-profit"/academia meaning the output will be citations + grants not value and there will be no real benefit to computing from that work.

Maybe I'd feel different if the intro video ended with a repo and a list of hardware to build your own Dynamicland, I almost think the fact it doesn't is a tactic for the project to never have to really prove its value...
This relates closely to a software test technique known as Equivalence class partitioning.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalence_partitioning
The TMV (Total Market Value) of solving AGI is infinity. And furthermore, if AGI is solved, the TMV of pretty much everything else drops to zero.

The play here is to basically invest in all possible players who might reach AGI, because if one of them does, you just hit the infinite money hack.

And maybe with SSI you've saved the world too.
Nope. Surely the copyright holders won't allow a library to be created today.
I know - but I would like to see an option that 'forces' the use of Base System compiler instead of building/installing another one ...

Oddly enough I never played SimCity. Closest from those times for me were Ceasar III and Pharaoh (which I'm playing again now: there's a very good remake).

Interesting. The name loosely translates to "Wisdom of Center Origin" then, no?
Thank you, this is a much better term (and I agree with you and siblings, "reproducible build" is in most cases too optimistic).

But I stand by my point - container images are still way more manageable than dev laptop images.

A Philosophy Of Software Design by John Ousterhout comes with a great way to look at how to design software modules. Found it by recommendation here on HN.
The problem is that the rate of progress over the past 5/10/15 years has not been linear at all, and it's been pretty easy to point out specific inflection points that have allowed that progress to occur.

I.e. the real breakthrough that allowed such rapid progress was transformers in 2017. Since that time, the vast majority of the progress has simply been to throw more data at the problem, and to make the models bigger (and to emphasize, transformers really made that scale possible in the first place). I don't mean to denigrate this approach - if anything, OpenAI deserves tons of praise for really making that bet that spending hundreds of millions on model training would give discontinuous results.

However, there are loads of reasons to believe that "more scale" is going to give diminishing returns, and a lot of very smart people in the field have been making this argument (at least quietly). Even more specifically, there are good reasons to believe that more scale is not going to go anywhere close to solving the types of problems that have become evident in LLMs since when they have had massive scale.

So the big thing I'm questioning is that I see a sizable subset of both AI researchers (and more importantly VC types) believing that, essentially, more scale will lead to AGI. I think the smart money believes that there is something fundamentally different about how humans approach intelligence (and this difference leads to important capabilities that aren't possible from LLMs).
> because humans generally don't make the types of hallucination errors that LLMs make.

They do though - I've noticed myself and others saying things in conversation that sound kind of right, and are based on correct things they've learned previously, but because memory of those things is only partial and mixed with other related information things are often said that are quite incorrect or combine two topics in a way that doesn't make sense.

It's pretty hard for one person or even one small team to both (a) do advanced green-field research in whichever uncertain direction they feel most exited to explore, and (b) make a complete and polished saleable product which best meets the needs of a well-defined set of customers.

The skills, personalities, organizing principles, and methods involved are substantially different, and focusing on making a product has a tendency to cut off many conceptually valuable lines of inquiry based on financial motivations.

Notice that Bret Victor's goal (like most researchers) is not to become as rich as possible.

Whether researchers or product developers ultimately have more leverage is something of a chicken-and-egg question. To make an analogy, it's like asking who was more influential, Karl Marx or Otto von Bismarck.

Stock returns grow because that's where people and institutions put their money.

If stock return growth slows (assuming they aren't talking only about dividends), that means either there's less money in general or it's being parked elsewhere. Which is it?
