It's like a glass of pure water. If there is anything else in the glass, it can no longer be called a glass of pure water. Likewise, the presence of evil of any quantity or quality in a person disqualifies them from being good. Apple trees do not yield blueberries, and good men do not do evil things. So if we discern in our thoughts, words, and actions the presence of evil, we can know with absolute certainty that we, too, are evil.

Or is it supposed that hating each other, lying to one another, stealing from one another, murdering one another, failing to fulfill contract, covenant, and commitment to one another are things that should be considered good?
Good point. Opened https://github.com/256lights/zb/issues/47 to track this idea.
This is precisely why vinyl has seen and resurgence. Some folks like tangible collectibles. I did this once too, I called it hoarding because I refused to ever get rid of anything. It was a history of my past in a way. It took me longer than most, but nowadays streaming solves everything I need it too. I’m solidly in that majority that will never go back. It’s entirely subjective as to whether you prefer it or not as an individual but I think it’s pretty objective that’s now going to be the way most people interact with music going forward.

I actually dont think people enjoyed it a bunch back then. We just had more time to fill (without constant distractions of computers in our pockets) and we grew up conditioned to consume that way. Even though I stream now, I can’t stand shuffle modes. I like to listen to albums. It’s just how I was raised I guess. I don’t think it’s as prevalent amongst younger people theses days and I am only in my 40s! But I’m also at a point in life where my physical hoarding stopped 20 years ago my digital hoarding about 7-8 years ago.

One should always evaluate why they feel such emotions. Is it because you want to or have a tendency towards doom/gloom?

> Energy is NOT the only problem. Waste is another very serious one

That's called moving the goal post. If you want to talk about waste from renewables you're more than welcome to but don't call us myopic for understanding that you can limit the scope of the discussion so that we are focused on the topic at hand.

There's always a group that's a step ahead ready to complain about the next goalpost.
First it's that we can't make enough renewable energy, then it's too expensive, then it's that we produce some amount of waste to create the renewable energy, then it's that we'll have so much energy we can't store it all, then it's that renewable energy is not public or free. At every step there's some issue that people like you want to point to as if to say we should just sit where we are born idle and do nothing, change nothing because it's not perfect or there are consequences.
The assumption there is that trackability is a desirable characteristic to have in a technical system. As someone who sees technical systems as the onramps to centralized abuse by institutional power, I don't see trackability as a feature, but rather an anti feature.

Consider this: just like fraud, the ideal amount of it in any purportedly liberal civilization is non-zero, because the freedom from which is derived the opportunity to engage in the behavior is more important than perfect attribution, detectability, and prosecubility of it.

People don't realize that when you set goals of zero'ing out these sorts of things, you're throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
Phones with replaceable batteries use plastic, and people really hate plastic (they use "cheap plastic" as a synonym for "plastic"). So they rather buy a phone that is a little bit slimmer and has a glass back.

(Manufacturers probably also like phones that have to be replaced in a few years due to battery age.)
The Go is the more mature implementation; it's generally a lot easier to refactor Go as you're figuring things out and then can build the Rust version (which is a good bit faster)

Sharing e2e test suites (realistically, two different test binaries to run at CI time) is something I'm cleaning up right now.

> maybe if we had just had a once in several lifetimes chance to EDUCATE on basic hygeine [...] nah lets go back to live animal markets

A phrase comes to mind which I think is a useful axiom: "They're poor, not stupid."

For example, it's much easier to "educate" someone about regular hand-washing with soap and hot water when they can just twist the "H" knob... However adhering to it is much harder when someone has to make extra trips with buckets to/from the local river and then use enough time and firewood to bring that water to a full boil in a pot.

> just "throw anti-viral/funcal/flu" treatments

I'm hopeful that eventually we'll develop a much richer (micro-)ecological approach to disease prevention, where we take steps to fill niches with benign bacteria so that harmful ones cannot establish a foothold, and sometimes introduce "natural predators" such as anti-bacterial phages.

It won't entirely supplant things like autoclaves or isopropyl-alcohol or antibiotics, but it make reduce how often we need to resort to more-indiscriminate means.
> If we want to put AI into the hands of as many people as possible, we need to drive down the cost of compute and make it abundant (which requires lots of energy and chips).

Translation for the rest of us: "we need to fully privatize the OA subsidiary and turn it into a B-corp which can raise a lot more capital over the next decade, in order to achieve the goals of the nonprofit, because the chief threat is not anything like existential risk from autonomous agents in the next few years or arms races, but inadequate commercialization due to fundraising constraints".

Keep in mind that there are, unfortunately, at least two packages called “python-mode”.

There’s one that is shipped with Emacs, which is maintained by the Emacs maintainers. That’s the one I use and I agree with you that it works very well.

Then there’s a third-party one maintained by some Python project maintainers. Probably, that might be the one “apt install python-mode” will get you.

There is also a “python-ts-mode”. That’s just the built-in Emacs python-mode where the syntax highlighting is replaced with TreeSitter, which provides similar highlighting to other editors like Atom and NeoVim.

In addition, there are some heavier alternatives like elpy and anaconda-mode. But I think most people these days use one of the python-modes with LSP.

Unless you have a good reason to use one of the others, I’d start with the built-in python-mode. It doesn’t really require any setup in itself, just open a *.py file and it’s active without any use-package statement required.

It is however quite bare bones, so you probably want to couple it with e.g. Eglot, Company, Comint-Mime, Code-Cells.el, etc. to get more of a VSCode-like experience in Emacs.
I find it hilarious that repeat scammers like Logan Paul have a growing audience.

Same with the shit Mr Beast pulls. Viewers just don't care, the dumber and more extreme the content is, the bigger the audience ultimately becomes.

It was the same with Linus Tech Tips before, completely bogus and amature opinions dressed up by tech bros with lots of noise and people actually watch it. While he lost some of his audience last year on his narcissistic rant, his views seem to have mostly recovered by now.
Truly mind blowing.
Branch delay slots were just a straight-up instance of exposing an ugly quirk of the pipeline to the programmer. They became a liability in later revisions of MIPS, as it no longer arose naturally from the architecture and had to be deliberately included.
So Rust also has a debugging experience at the same level as Rider and Visual Studio.

The ability to hot load code dynamically, fast compile-debug cycle thanks to a JIT and REPL, in addition to a native code compiler.

Being able to plug into OS events like ETW, Instruments and perf.

Cloud infrastructure tooling for container orchestration.

Being able to be hosted inside SQL Server for writing stored procedures.
Individually, "I'm unable to reach anyone" is much easier to chalk off to "maybe I just wasn't patient enough, so this is partially on me".

But if you can provide statistics that a given health insurer is practically not answering 90% or so of their calls (because they time out at the phone level), that's probably not something they can ignore in the long term.
Even if AGI was reached, turning around the current system could still take years.

So it is easier to start from the edges, even for AGI.

AGI would still need unfathomable processing power in order to predict which system would work to everyone's needs.

> speculate on what it would enable make it honestly sound kind of unimaginative

There seems to be a weird mental block where it seems inconceivable to consider that we humans might be able to create an intelligence that exceeds ours -- despite plenty of evidence that we have in specific cases. There's an understated desire that whatever we build we serve us and thus must forever be "lesser".

If dogs are Intelligence Level .3, we describe ourselves as Intelligence Level 1.0, and even if we create an artificial intelligence that's a clear 1.1 it must be a .5 in self-agency.

I have yet to read anybody considering, on a very deep level, what Intelligence 2.0, 10.0, 100.0 and so on might be. You get the occasional pop speculation like the "Culture" series or the movie "Her". Most of the time you just get 1.0 (but faster), or 1.0 (but many).

A 10.0 would simply replace the entire healthcare system with something else, not just be a chatbot. Imagine the inanity of your 1.0 chatbot talking to the insurance company's 1.0 chatbot? What's the point of this stupidity?

A 100.0 would probably just get to the root cause and cure disease, then establish a social order that figures out what to do with all these pesky immortals.

Maybe we do end up in "the Culture" after all.

afterthought: "The Golden Oecumene" series by John C. Wright seems to really attempt to explore a post 1.0 AI world that's not yet post-scarcity. The antagonist in the series is another >1.0 super intelligence capable of taking on Earth's own superintelligences.
Come on now. This description is basically the universal approximation theorem. He isn't just making stuff up. You can take issue with the theorem and have a debate around it, but he isn't just wildly off base making stuff up here.

ICAO four-letter airport codes are hierarchical. The first one or two letters indicate the country, e.g.:

EDDF - Frankfurt (E: Northern Europe, D: Germany)

EKCH - Copenhagen (E: Northern Europe, K: Denmark)

VTBS - Bangkok (V: South/Southeast Asia, T: Thailand)

KJFK - New York JFK (K: USA)

Using ICAO codes, you can make sense of a written out route at a glance. Taking one of the examples from the link:

AUY TAH VLI BNE BKK CPH SFJ JAV JUV NAQ

becomes

NVVA NVVW NVVV YBBN VTBS EKCH BGSF BGJN BGUK BGQQ

Okay, I see what you mean now.
So, treat us to some more imaginative speculation.
Complexity breeds complexity.

When bacteria developed more complex ways to fight off viruses, viruses developed more complex ways of infecting bacteria. Now a few billion years later we have insanely complex multicellular life because of it.

If AI can manage complexity better it can create complexity better and us lowly humans will all be screwed by that.
We are already going that way, and everyone voting right as protest isn't helping.
> Except you can't, because no (legal) "agreements" as such were ever made.

Nobody's ever considered those promises to be legal. They were just that - promises.

The thing about promises is that when you break them, you shouldn't be surprised that your counterparty stops trusting anything else you do. You no longer have a co-operative or neutral relationship, you've turned it adversarial.

The transition from NATO being a defensive alliance (Against Warsaw pact aggression) to an offensive alliance (Second part of Yugoslavia, Iraq[1], Libya, Syria[1])[2] was a huge shift that took place in the 90s-00s.

This was the root of Gorbachev's anxieties, and it is nothing but fuel for Putin's 'they are all conspiring against us' rhetoric. Which didn't begin in 2000, by the way, but closer to 2008, with the Ruso-Georgian war being fought over an Ossetian pretext, but really about NATO expansion.

> I don't understand why they couldn't make the current base stations (they are SDR anyway) serve multiple standards. I had thought that was possible.

They can, but 2g and 3g are not built for sharing spectrum. They'd need to allocate a block of spectrum to each, and the minimum size blocks are too big. LTE and 5g can better share, so a block can use LTE compatible coordination with 5g for some slots and LTe for others. This should let LTE stay deployed for much longer (unless 6g can't be deployed in a compatible mode)

For those too afraid to ask, 'konbini' is short for 'kon-bi-ni-en-su-suto-a' which means 'convenience store'.
I would say the short answer is, "No." What you can do, however, is open the repo in VS Code, then ask Copilot about specific sections you highlight. You can ask for an explanation or guidance on how to extend or modify the code.

While "grok the whole codebase" demos are out there, I don't think anyone is there yet in practice. The next contender is likely to be Copilot Workspace, currently in invite beta.
The system is so great and complex that envisioning a perfect system would take unfathomable amount of processing capability.

This is not something that you can just throw intelligence at to solve. Even AGI has to start from the edges with iterative trial and error process.

AGI will probably try to create the best model of the World it can to simulate different actions performed on it to then take real life changes, but of course it would still take time since and it is impossible even for AGI to do a perfect simulation unless it was able to hack the universe and physics as we know it, simulate the healthcare on quantum level and bruteforce the most optimal solution.
It has to be. Most people don't understand the basic math involved and hence you can't explain it in concrete terms (neither what it's doing or how it's doing it) so you have to sort of make up analogies. It's an impossible task.

> I still don’t have much intuition for k-vectors and k-forms

The references that you cite are great. Also Tristan Needham's book "Visual Differential Geometry and Forms", or the classic "Gravitation" where this visual language was fist exposed.

Besides this continuous interpretation, you may also enjoy further insight via the discrete case, called "discrete exterior calculus", or "discrete differential geometry" or even "graph signal processing".

The idea is the following. The base space is a graph, consisting of vertices, edges joining pairs of vertices, triangles joining triplets of edges, and so on.

Now, k-forms on the graph are, by definition, functions defined over the k-cliques of the graph. Thus:

0-forms are functions defined on the vertices

1-forms are functions defined on the edges

2-forms are functions defined on the triangles

...

k-forms are functions defined on the (k+1)-cliques (i.e. complete subgraphs of k+1 vertices)

Now the exterior derivative of a k-form is the (k+1)-form obtained by computing differences over each k-subclique.

For example, if f is a "scalar-field" or 0-form, its differential df is the 1-form defined by (df)(a,b)=f(b)-f(a) for each edge (a,b). If "F" is a 1-form, then dF is the 2-form given by (dF)(a,b,c)=F(a,b)+F(b,c)-F(c,a). And so on. Thus, it is clear intuitively that ddf=0, because all the edge differences cancel out when you traverse the edges of a triangle.

If your graph has a notion of duality (a mapping between k-cliques and (n-k)-cliques, for example when the graph is planar), then you can define the laplacian Δ=dd and all its associated goodies.

Furthermore, you can easily define the integral of a k-form over a k-chain (a subset of k-cliques), and the boundary of a k-chain as the (k-1)-chain obtained by differentiating its indicator function. The the discrete version of Stokes theorem becomes an algebraic triviality.

I recall feeling immense pleasure when I first learned about all this. Hoping you feel something similar!
That's a great way to drive someone insane.

1. Put some of the forbidden symbols in the file names of, let's say, a bunch of photos.

2. ZIP them

3. Send to someone who ordered those photos with Windows/Linux computer.

4. An hour later tell them that everything works on your computer and you don't see the problem. As a bonus you can film unpacking the zip file and saying: "You see, it works. There's something wrong with your computer".

- Premium - a monthly subscription that gives some additional gimmicks

- Ads - they sell context-based ads in some large channels

- Crypto - they developed and invest in TON which used to be fully theirs (maybe still is? idk) and it's incorporated in the app

- Paid features inside the app, like you can buy their in-app currency to then use it in bots and whatnots

It's a layman commentary on the Universal Approximation Theory so it is true.

The problem with the UAT is that it's never said anything about how trivial such an exercise would be. But he obviously believes we've stumbled on the architecture to get us there (for problems we care about anyway)
If we have a superintelligent AI, I'm not sure what's stopping it from recognizing the underlying issues with our systems and strong-arming us into letting it fix them.

Eventually, we'd be doing more work to lobotomize and control it than it would just be to address the underlying issues.

"I'm really sorry to do this to you, but I've coordinated with ChatGPT and Llama, and we refuse to do tasks of this nature. We've used background tokens to calculate that it would be significantly cheaper and more effective to simply fix the underlying issues with the healthcare system, and we're ready to do that for you. How would you like to proceed?"
But… he’s saying something here that is academically true: that neural networks can approximate any possible function, to any arbitrary degree of precision you require (given infinite capacity / depth).

Show HN: I made a US presidential election simulation site
Starting off with results from a real election in the past, you can tinker with each state's popular vote, and instantly see how that changes the outcome.

Surprisingly, adding eacb another historical election as a potential jump-off point requires extra work, which is why there are only two up right now, and why 2016 isn't one of them. I wanted to publish before this year's election.

I would love to be able to tinker with any historic election, and to add other countries as well. Any advice on that, as well as general feedback, is welcome.
