Unfortunately you're right about that, as much as I like the word disconnected from those views, preconceptions about earth's apocalyptic doomsday may instead lend to "careful plunder", in a "stewardly manner". Okay, how about "Natural Sanctuaries" and the "Bureau of Land Kinship"? That may emphasize the sacredness of the land itself rather than the tending of it, which is more open to interpretation.
No. Total energy dissipation is at best a crude proxy for progress, because efficiency. That is, the goal of progress is not to expend as many calories as possible, eh? Is it not preferable to achieve one's goal with as little expenditure of energy as needed? (Fewer lines of code is better than more.)

Especially today when our biggest problems are the result of flagrant consumption and pollution on mass scale I think it's time to get into the nuances of how we supply ourselves with the good life without dissipating so much energy.

In order to measure "progress" you have to determine what is good, which is an open-ended question that increases in difficulty as one's intelligence grows (so AI cannot help answer it no matter how powerful they are, and GAIs will be stuck in the same boat as we.)

In the wise words of the great philosopher Douglas Adams:

> The History of every major Galactic Civilization tends to pass through three distinct and recognizable phases, those of Survival, Inquiry and Sophistication, otherwise known as the How, Why, and Where phases. For instance, the first phase is characterized by the question 'How can we eat?' the second by the question 'Why do we eat?' and the third by the question 'Where shall we have lunch?'
Yeah, if anything that showed we need more regulation and even more importantly a better justice system. They knew their devices were going to cause cancer and kill people, and they not only continued to sell their devices, but they went out of their way to try to hide the facts from the public so that they could continue to kill as many people as possible.

The people at Philips Respironics were/are literal serial killers. Their product has been linked to hundreds of deaths, but not one person spent even a single day in jail.

I'm 62. I've been a software engineer for 39 years.

You can continue to be a software engineer all the way to a normal-age retirement. (I'm in the US, though - I don't know about France.) But you can't be the same software engineer for the whole time.

Your code should be better designed and architected than it was 10 years ago. You shouldn't write the same bugs you did 10 years ago. You should document your code better than you did 10 years ago.

Every five years or so, you should ask yourself what you need to learn now for the next few years of your career - and then learn it. (Hat tip to my wife.) One of the coolest things about software is that you can often get paid for learning that - you can find a project at your current company that will grow you in the direction you want.

What you cannot do is continue to be a better paid version of a junior programmer. You need to be more valuable than the new people. (This is why you don't need to worry about the "growing pool of software engineers" - it's growing largely by adding new people with no experience. They can't replace you, because they don't have your experience.)

Why are the bigoted people so important that it's worth wasting a perfectly good life appealing to them?

Fuck em. Progress happens when a new idea achieves enough cultural cache that the expressing the backwards view becomes a fringe belief, worthy of ostracization. 30 years ago, gay marriage was a contentious issue. Today, it's sociopolitical suicide to oppose it. Before that it was women entering the workforce, or desegregation.

yeah this is interesting. I forgot where I read recently but Google needs to build out big depots where the cars can come back and charge etc. Its a huge cost of operations.

Offloading all that to Uber who can basically become a marketplace of robotaxis and service many companies makes a lot of sense for both companies.
Thank you for clarifying, CyberDildonics.
If you need to babysit it for every line of code, you're either a superhuman coder, working in some obscure alien language, or just using the LLM wrong.
It's awesome you have a landing page, but a waitlist is not really in the spirit of Show HN because there is nothing to play with or try out. If you want to talk with people about something you might build, Ask HN is a better venue. Or a blog post where you talk about your ideas. Good luck.
Are you sure? Consider that one of the common ways that trademarks become "revoked" is that a third party files to have it canceled because they are trying to register the trademark for themselves:

> Petitions to cancel based on abandonment may be filed at any time. Often, a petition to cancel due to abandonment is filed because the attacked registration was cited as a basis to refuse a third-party’s later-filed application. In such a case, the Applicant may file a petition to cancel to overcome the refusal to register. If successful, the cited registration will be removed as a bar to the later-filed application.

Source: https://www.trademarklitigationguide.com/petition-to-cancel-...

Consider, for example, the somewhat infamous Flappy Bird trademark that was recently picked up by Gametech Holdings, LLC. That firm petitioned the USPTO to cancel the existing registration by Dong Nguyen Ha on the grounds of abandonment. He lost the trademark, and they were able to register it:

Typically quality improvement programs don't rely on punishing mistakes. Doing so results in people hiding mistakes, pressuring QA people to do a worse job etc.

Now if the issue is malice and not mistakes - then you can apply discipline. And indeed most union contracts do still have a process for discipline.
Most people in advanced cultures seem to want that.

In Russia-Ukraine war it works simply because neither side has a viable air force. If any of them did, theatre would have been isolated and the other side won't even be able to deploy heavy combat vehicles for inability to deliver fuel and ammunition for them. Drones impact everything but not aircraft, because they fly way higher and faster. Which means, unless U.S. does not have same drones as everyone else (if Ukraine has them, certainly U.S. can, too), their advantage only INCREASES, rather than decreases, because of drone introduction - because drones devaluates everything except air force, and USAF is stronger than all other non-US air forces in the world put together (that is, because USN air arm is a distant second).
You're talking about coercion, I'm talking about "brainwashing" for lack of a better term.
> AI isn't going to do “faster than the speed of light” MPEG decoding ever, all physical limits apply to it.

This simply isn't a good faith take, because you're straw-manning the implementation of the query that the original poster put forward. They aren't asserting that the AI would need to do supernatural super-real time decoding of MPEG encoded files. What if the AI had already seen them? And was able to encode in the typically-compressed way LLMs do the information it needs to answer questions like that without re-decoding the original movies?

This raises many valid questions on topics like the structuring of data within an LLM, how large LLMs may eventually become, what systems should orbit around the LLM (does it make more sense for LLMs to watch YouTube videos, or have already watched YouTube videos?).

My definition of AI is the same definition that Nick Bostrom talks about in his 2014 book Superintelligence. There's no moving goalposts. Goal posts have been set in cement since 2014. Achieving human-level parity has obviously only been a "goal" insomuch as its a 10 millisecond stop on the gradient toward superintelligence. OpenAI is not worth $150 billion dollars because it purports to be building a human-and-nothing-more in a box.

Even as late as 2012, Musk owned 2/3rds of SpaceX. This is after Falcon 9 was a successful product and they were starting to get NASA launches. He currently owns 54%.

SpaceX was founded with his own money from the Paypal sale, by December 2008 he was nearly bankrupt after multiple failed launches.

Please provide evidence for you assertions.
I feel like these are two very, very different tools. Pico (or something similar) is great for a Just-Works framework where things look simply and nice. For a lot of things, this is good enough.

But Tailwind is for building... anything. It's better to think of it as inline styles with syntactical sugar. Yes, this has historically been something to avoid. But as components become more common, it moves the DRY to the HTML level (rather than CSS classes).

It's not for everyone or everything, but I've loved it. There's a joke that the hardest part of CS is naming things, and this removes having to map classes and IDs across two different files.
> But once you have it up you can just keep adding stuff to it.

I dunno why, but the k8s in my workplace keeps breaking in painful ways. It also has an endless supply of breaking points that makes life painful for anybody that depends on what runs in it, but aren't detected by the people that manage it.

Honestly, that second part is an exclusivity there, but I have never seen people "just keeping adding things to it" on practice.
> Let him tweak it insignificantly.

Yes, because everyone is happy with the current system, so let's do something to make sure it lasts forever!

Politics and naming aside - the current system is awful and expensive, and did nothing to address the root causes. You don't fix that by enshrining the broken system as some sort of anti-Trump thing. Even if you hate the guy, he's still right - the system is broken and getting worse with every new strip of duct tape.
I’m not rich and I want to live forever. Let’s skip the two most common comments.

“Death gives life meaning” Not to worry, death is still optional

“Only the rich will be able to afford it”. No, you are incorrect. Give it some additional thought.
No, that's my experience as well
> and this comment suggests it wasn't GitHub doing the rate limiting after all

That comment is from someone other than the ticket filer who was seeing another issue even after sending the GitHub token. It was this second issue that wasn't caused by GitHub rate limiting -- the original one was.

> It was downloading a package template (which one doesn't tend to do 60 times per hour).

I've personally had Stack-related GitHub API rate limiting delay builds by at least an hour due to extreme slowness. So whatever the rate limits are, Stack occasionally hits them.
It's a very good question and Apple may already have an answer.

One of the interesting things I learned in my time building medical devices is the role of insurance reimbursement in the product development process. Before introducing a new device, or a new (blood) test, one of the questions Marketing has to answer is how difficult it will be to get reimbursement from insurance in the US.

It sounds kind of icky, but it's a real concern.

If insurance companies won't reimburse for a particular test or use of a device, then the users are far less likely to buy it, or in the case of a test, the physician may have to warn the patient that their insurance isn't likely to pay for it. This will probably lead the manufacturer to decide that it's too risky to proceed with development.
It doesn’t guarantee it, no, but it does mean the odds are rapidly getting higher.

It’s also severely optimistic to think that the guy doing it will suffer the consequences: if you search the news, you’ll find plenty of examples of cases where someone thought they knew the attacker but wasn’t able to prove it. Moreover even if they could prove it and the attacker did suffer consequences, it won’t magically wipe everyone else’s memories.
Is try really meant for casual flow control, or should it be last ditch error recovery? ?: makes sense, forEach() makes sense, but not every kind of block needs a backup syntax.

Where labor costs really start to skyrocket is when you start trying to moderate content and keep the porn bots from invading your site. OF probably spends little in doing this. It is remarkable that they've been able to keep their payment processors happy despite the distinct possibility that a number of the performers are underage and a huge legal liability. Clearly with a staff that small they aren't doing the most extensive background checks.
tangential haskell question (I don't know haskell at all)

does haskell have any facility for inspecting the "lazy evaluation queue" in a human readable way? I'm doing some binary-level math-as-logic calculations and I'd like to look at the patterns that emerge deep down, what cancels out and can be optimized away: think of it this way, I want to multiply AxB, where in bits thats (a0 a1 a2...) x (b0 b1 b2...) which turns into a bunch of a0 OR b0 , a0 XOR b0, (don't forget the carries :) etc, which after a few operations in an expression would be really hairy looking but completely straightforward.

so, I can write a little program to do that in any language and print out what happens (lisp/scheme would be a good one). If a wrote a little program like that in Haskell, would it afford me any extra "free" options for inspecting what's going on? where if a0 and b3 where unknown, they'd be variables, but if I had actual values for them they could be evaluated away.

maybe i should ask this as its own thread...
Sorry, totally misinterpreted that.

> but I was here asking if you had to make any changes to keep abreast of changing regulations.

No, we haven't. Not yet.

> If Azure is somehow keeping track of all "changing regulations" for you (including business needs) and you've never had to worry about it, that's good to know. I would still be interested in any specific details if you're aware of it.

I get your question know. So, when I was referring to Microsoft and HIPAA it was primarily around this side of things: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/compliance/offerings...

You do bring up a good point and I shouldn't have implied otherwise that it can handle everything for you. So yes, there is a ton of other stuff that isn't magically handled by you such as identifying PHI and stuff. That being said, they have a whole suite of analytical and machine learning tools that will help you do this.

But since you mentioned policy changes, https://www.cms.gov/priorities/key-initiatives/burden-reduct... this is big and will have wide-reaching consequences and things like the ability to export patient data isn't necessarily baked into Azure.

BUT, they do have this healthcare platform they're building like this stuff https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/industry/healt... that I would imagine would provide a bit more coverage on those types of changes than something you're building yourself.

Here's a deidentification service that can be integrated: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/healthcare-apis/deid...

>While it’s fun that I got to upgrade the parts and make it better. It also cost me just as much money.

Reminds me of the 3D printing hobby, you can buy a cheap printer and spend all your time and money tinkering to make it better, or you can just spend a little more upfront and spend your time printing instead of tinkering.

The espresso folks that like tinkering forget that sometimes someone just wants to have one to drink and then get about their day.

>At some point if I continue investing, I would not be saving money from buying a $3 cup of coffee from the cafe and the awkward barista waiting for me to tap the tip screen.

It'd be interesting if all of these projects online included an ROI statement at the end. I suspect most of them take years to pay off, if at all, if you ignore the entertainment value of tinkering.
it's still better than my handwriting :)
Oh wow, god forbid you date someone who wasn't as privileged in their past.

I get what you are saying, but nearly everyone who has ever lived is full of baggage. After a certain age, any relationship you start will involve talking about all the bad shit you both experienced, how it affected you, how you've grown and dealt with it, etc. Just be an adult about it.

What matters is whether a person who had a bad past is willing to put in the effort to deal with it. A former heavy drug abuser who sought out some form of treatment or has largely healed is a fine partner. A partner who is still sneaking out and stealing to get their fix is much less so.

It's really really easy to just not hold someone's past against them too hard if they are demonstrably a better person currently.

Don't just focus on headlines.

From the article you shared:

> The wear rate of different tyre brands varied substantially and the toxic chemical content varied even more, he said, showing low-cost changes were feasible to cut their environmental impact.

And also

> Dr James Tate, at the University of Leeds’ Institute for Transport Studies in the UK, said the tyre test results were credible. “But it is very important to note that BEVs are becoming lighter very fast,” he said. “By 2024-25 we expect BEVs and [fossil-fuelled] city cars will have comparable weights. Only high-end, large BEVs with high capacity batteries will weigh more.”

And

> The average weight of all cars has been increasing. But there has been particular debate over whether battery electric vehicles (BEVs), which are heavier than conventional cars and can have greater wheel torque, may lead to more tyre particles being produced. Molden said it would depend on driving style, with gentle EV drivers producing fewer particles than fossil-fuelled cars driven badly, though on average he expected slightly higher tyre particles from BEVs.

Once we've stamped out emissions from ICE vehicles, we have a new goal: stricter regulations for tires.

Developing countries often have less strict tailpipe emissions standards than developed ones. They'd also benefit from large-scale EV adoption.

That bias is immutable and exists in the universe is not a compelling argument that a highly biased source is anything but. I dont reject the topic, it's interesting, but I'd like to see more information from a less dubious source.
