OAI's achievements are amazing. But here's a bit of a skeptical take: cheap human-style intelligence won't have a huge impact because such intelligence isn't really a bottleneck today. It's a cliche that the brightest minds of the age are dedicated to selling more ads or shuffling stock ownership around at high velocity. Anyone who's worked at a big tech company knows the enormous ratio of talent to real engineering problems at those companies.

Let's say you have some amazing project that's going to require 100 Phd-years of work to carry out. In the present world that costs something like $1e7. In the post-AI world, that same amount of intelligence will cost $1e3, an enormous reduction in price. That might seem like a huge impact. BUT, if the project was so amazing, why couldn't you raise $1e7 to pursue it? Governments and VCs throw this kind of money around like corn-hole bags. So the number of actually-worthwhile projects that become feasible post-AI might actually be quite small.
Love the general idea! Was sad there was not something I could immediately play with.

I think this kind of chart is heavily underused.

> I started coding this year.

Hey, if you just started and already coming up with cool ideas like this, I can't wait to see what you create in years 10, 15, 20!

Here's my user test: https://news.pub/?try=https://www.youtube.com/embed/Kd0_GsU0...
It happens anywhere that people will basically work for free if they can. Even where you have guilds and unions that try to set a certain floor--e.g. with films in the US--it's only somewhat effective in that the floors are fairly low and people will still wait tables to try to get their big break.
Right, this article is lumping together a bunch of different things that are maybe loosely related because of anime as a style.

The unstated thesis might just be surprise that this once-nerdy stuff has become mainstream at all and therefore has investment potential that was heretofore unrecognized.
The Commodore version of the source in the magazine never worked. I probably typed it in at least five times in whole thinking I'd screwed something up. It wasn't until a few years ago (from an HN post, no less) that I found the link above and finally, finally got to see what the code did.
While elevated Anime does exist, it by-and-large deserves it's reputation as pulp. It was cheap to produce by humans, and even cheaper to produce by machines, but the kids simply can't get enough of it. I am slightly terrified at the thought that should the matrix ever come to pass, it will appear as a endless tide of cat-girl avatars.
>The aesthetic just does nothing for me

Like what? This is like saying the aesthetics of Hollywood films just does nothing for me. Which can be Forrest Gump and the Avengers Endgame too
Checksums were a great idea but I just could never resist the temptation to make changes to the program as I was typing it in.
I recommend you use pydantic for type annotations. Alternatively, dataclasses. Then you pair it with typeguards @typechecked annotation and the types will be checked at runtime for each method/function. You can use mypy to check it at "compile time".

Having clear data types without oop is possible, even in python.
Watched a few episodes of dunmeshi before binge-reading the manga, and I was surprised/impressed that the anime is essentially a shot-for-shot recreation of the manga. I assume they used manga panels as the storyboards, which speaks to how good Ryoko Kui is at visual framing, timing beats for action sequences and jokes, etc.
Few notes:

- reverse osmosis does not give good water, it's way less salty, but not much good to drink;

- thermal desalinization gives PURE water, so we need to mineralize it before drinking, and that's demand typically clean sand, witch demand water to be cleaned... Something actually very energivore.

Long story: we can get not-to-drink except on occasional basis "cheap water" or very expensive good one.

Aside there are some notes on how much time it take to get a certain amount of drinkable water, because well, for a small boat it's a thing, for agriculture it's definitively another. Another point: as an EV owner with domestic p.v. so with anything monitored, I definitely do not consume more to makes hot water than to power my car, I can't imaging how that's so much different in the USA. Ok, I have no pool, which is ENORMOUSLY energivore, but how many household respect of the total population have a pool at home?

It also sound a bit strange to me that hot water consumption is greater than home heating, ok, USA have little population in Alaska compared to the south and they are pretty at south European latitudes and below, but... I doubt so many homes are new well insulated ones... Even more strange that cooling consume more than heating. For Texas I've no doubt, but for the average USA?
Hum I sometimes just don't drink coffee for a week or whatever, and never noticed any symptoms
One example is of studying robotics. I started with this course on Coursera [0]. It was ok at the start, but got hard for me early on. A big part of the course is of reading the book that they make available for free [1], so I would upload the relevant chunk of chapters into Claude (the whole book was a bit too much for it), and would then just ask it to explain each topic to me, whereby I'd ask additional questions, and then when, I felt I got it, ask it to check my understanding (which it does quite well, saying "sort of, but note that..." in many appropriate circumstances).

As another specific example, in that book and in others, I sometimes struggle with the math, so I would ask Claude to give me the sympy code for the relevant mathematical derivation, and being able to actually see those expressions change in a python notebook really helps my understanding. I'm really impressed with how it usually does well on the first try, even with relatively complex stuff, like expressions involving symbolic matrix exponentiation. Being able to pause on any topic like this, and have the LLM help me dive into it in the way that works best for me, has been amazing, and getting as much time from a knowledgeable human tutor would have probably cost me 1,000x as much.

Every time someone brings up Signal in these threads I cringe. One can make up stories about spam protection as much as he wants, but given how little (basically none) control one has over him phone number, no messenger strictly requiring a phone number can be considered "privacy-oriented" by any sane person.
Learn to sharpen tools properly. A sharp chisel and plane, and something like a Japanese pull saw to handle the big stuff (with a measure of delicacy due to its flexibility) will get you an impressively long way. But such implements can dull quickly, and there’s nothing more dispiriting (or dangerous) than a dull tool.
Yeah, at a certain point I realized that both the maintenance and the use of the language became much slicker if unnecessary deviations from Python were minimized. After all, when I'm writing Hy code, I'm usually spending a lot more time referring to the documentation of Python or third-party Python libraries than the documentation of Hy. I felt there were a number of ways Python could be improved upon, but e.g. the old feature that let you spell `True` as `true` in deference to Clojure was just a needless complication.
Dunmeshi's getting a second season—hopefully enough ground to cover the rest of the series :)
Just compare the Banking systems in the UK to Germany and that will tell you everything you need to know.

Germany has Community Banks that lend money to local entrepreneurs to make things. UK Banks (highly centralized and Big) only lend money to buy assets.
> But who is going to build houses where house prices are declining? The private market certainly wont.

Of course the private market will, if it still can make a buck. Can it buy land, buy materials, employ builders, sell a completed house, and come out ahead? If yes, then houses will be built by the private market. They may wish they got last year's price for the new house, but if they make money with this year's price, they will still build.
> Also, feel free to show me any benchmark showing maven being as fast as gradle. https://gradle.org/gradle-vs-maven-performance/

I tried and
* commons took more than 2,5 minutes to build (they show 70s?)
* tried their tests (medium project, https://github.com/gradle/performance-comparisons/tree/maste...) and maven compiled it in 4s and usual "clean install" took 14s but they don't enable paralel test run); then I tried running "gradle build" and... got an error:

```
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* Where:
Build file '/Users/wojtek/dev/tmps/performance-comparisons/single-medium-project/build.gradle' line: 16

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating root project 'single-medium-project'.

```

It's so nice that even gradle team themselves can keep up with their crap xD but of course it's probably due to convoluted setup... again - with maven you just clone and build and be done with it, with gradle you have to "stand on your head" to figure how to make any progress... I updated the build.gradle (according to https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/declaring_dependen...) and `gradle build` finished in 19s...

So your beloved gradle is 25% slower and can't even be compatible with itself...

I took a look at "large-multimodule" to have something more challenging but: they setup each project individually and for some convoluted reason configure maven compiler with `<source>1.5</source>` (and JDK21 complains) and same goes for gradle modules with broken `dependencies`. I adjusted it but then it turned out that the sources can't even compile (due to wrong arguments in tests) ffs...
> All the characters just state out loud exactly how they're feeling about everything.

Yeah, this is one thing that I didn't like about AoT, especially in the first 4-5 episodes. Later I accepted it as its characteristic style, I think its strengths greatly overweigh this particular aspect. And, there is much more depth to the characters than the childish dialogs lead you to believe.
Have you been to Japan? Elevators are quite common, and in most of the buildings with multiple levels and restaurants on higher levels.

Elevators are smaller there. But I think the cost of building is lower there, for a variety of reasons, which makes this more feasible.
That reminds me of the Millikan & Fletcher oil-drop experiment [0], which measured the charge of the electron.

In short, microscopic atomized oil droplets had their fall-time through air measured to figure out their volume, and then a known electric field was used to levitate them. The calculated charge-per-molecule clustered around multiples of a smaller value, which would be the charge of an individual electron.

No question, especially when you have only two major players distributing most anime in Sony and Netflix.

I enjoyed the good old days from the 1980s to the 2000s when it was actually more creative and good quality not to mention that there were more competition at that time period.
Nice, thanks for sharing such a complete example. So I take it there isn't really any kind of verification of AIS message validity. I suppose that would be difficult to do, so it makes sense that AIS would be easy to spam.

Do you want to explain that in any way, or do you just want to be rude while you keep saying incorrect things about my comments? In particular, I never accused anyone of being off-topic.

Early in this conversation I made a comment that shifted the topic slightly, but was also a reply to the argument in the parent comment. tptacek's reply to me was not a reply to the argument in my comment. It was arguing past me. Or I could say it was strawmanning me, but that makes it sound too intentional.

I think that situation is pretty simple. It also seems pretty simple that you misunderstood my comment #41607486.

What's your actual criticism, other than the incorrect idea that I accused tptacek of being off-topic, and other than vague petty snipes?

>salivating at the thought of squeezing ""value"" out of what remains of it

I'm amused at their assumption that they can squeeze tighter than the currently existing notoriously abusive segment of the market.

Also, the way they talk about exploiting parasocail relationships, I'm assuming their next big announcement will be funding a startup that is a call center to handle texting on behalf of onlyfans creators.
Something has happened with western television where it's like everyone is angry all the time and can never come together to solve a problem without arguing about it for half a season first.

I find it incredibly exhausting to watch. Anime can be a nice refuge from that, as can older tv-shows from before this was a thing.
This is a weird way to look at the situation, because it doesn't even matter what the CEO of a tech company is willing to do or not do. No tech company is holding a state the size of France off by sheer force; they're just loitering on the shady site of an attention/irritation curve. At some point, you piss an industrial state off enough, they're going to win, for any definition of "win" involving "getting whatever data you have easy plaintext access to".

Structure generally means most manuals are not the first resouece a learner should try to learn from. Great to have on hand, but manuals are not structured like a textbook that builds upon concepts needed to productively work with the subject.
He was right that curation and distribution of knowledge was the most important problem at the time. A Memex solved both by recording everything that was seen, with context, AND allowing a dump/copy of a portion or all of that data to me made on demand.

It's deeply upsetting that we've never had a widely used implementation of the Memex in the past, and now thanks to DRM, "IP" and copyright, we never will.
That’s not exactly what’s happening though, because they aren’t selling Wordpress, they are selling Wordpress hosting.

To align the analogy more closely to the Wordpress situation:

I put out leaflets with cake recipes which I give everyone for free. And then BakingCorp comes along, takes my recipe and sells the actual cookies they baked with my recipe in their store.

The difference is that they aren’t just selling what I made and gave out for free, they are providing an actual service based on my contribution.

And also, Wordpress copies don’t run out, so even selling the cookies for $5 wouldn’t exactly be immoral, because I would still give out infinite free cookies. If Wordpress engine just sold copies of Wordpress, people would just get it for free.

Telegram was unblocked by Putin's government after it agreed to "help with extremism investigations". Am I expected to assume that such agreement didn't include details such as IPs and phone numbers?

It’s sad to see HN become so full of bots.

> prompt: There’s an article on Hackernews titled “Telegram will now hand over your phone number and IP if you’re a criminal suspect”. Generate a comment in Hackernews style that supports this decision, implies that it’s because they didn’t encrypt the messages and uses Signal as an example of doing it right because “look! They haven’t had problems”

Not surprised. Telegram doesn't encrypt by default, so of course they're handing over phone numbers and IPs. If you don't lock things down like Signal does, you're going to have problems. Signal can’t hand over what they don’t have—encrypted end-to-end, no metadata. Simple as that.

> I noticed that my neighborhood is all Lawsons

There's a Lawson-heavy area about a twenty-minute walk from where I live in Yokohama. The three convenience stores closest to me, though, are 7-11. One reason for this clustering, I suspect, is deliveries. Convenience stores are carefully designed for logistical efficiency, and having stores close to each other must shave a bit off the distance traveled by delivery trucks.

You might consider adding Aeon My Basket stores to your map, too. They have sprouted up all over the Tokyo region in recent years. They are positioned as small supermarkets rather than kombini, but their size, locations, and product overlap with kombini puts them in competition with Lawson, 7-11, etc., too.
Seems questionable that Rayleigh would have known that oil molecules are hydrophobic on one end and hydrophilic on the other.
Huh, that doesn't really make a lot of sense to me. Why turn them off after being sighted? Because AIS tags aren't matching reality perhaps?
If you find that you like something that most people don't it's generally best to just leave it alone and be happy you enjoyed it. If you try to delve into why so many people don't like the thing you like then either they will manage to convince you the thing you like is actually bad, which doesn't benefit you, or you'll start to question whether or not your taste in media is bad, which doesn't benefit you.

Always good to know
I think the manga format is really effective at letting new stories reach audiences. US media companies need to realize that funding authors/artists to test run their new stories as cheap comics and increasing funding to the 1/20 that gain traction is a great way to incubate the new talent that the industry desperately needs.

American comic books are incredibly stagnant and have been so for the past 20 years. Not a single new character with any cultural relevancy (besides reboots of old characters) has been made in the last 20-odd years. Meanwhile, series like Attack on Titan, Chainsaw Man, and Jujutsu Kaisen have become million dollar global franchises in the last decade. The manga => anime => cultural zeitgeist pipeline has produced tons of recent compelling series.
They're still pushing their Blockchain grifts and supporting political candidates who will look the other way.
Personally, I think the modern typesetting discards a lot of the essential value of the original. My interest in this manual stems not from any desire to program a Mark I, but because I want to connect with the past and understand what programmers of that era had to deal with. A big part of that was documentation that was not pristine, that was full of hand-written notes and symbols that they had to somehow make sense of nonetheless. It's like the difference between a real vintage airplane and a modern replica. The replica looks superficially the same, but when you look at the details it feels, well, modern. There's something radically different about flying a plane with period [1] vs modern [2] avionics.

Should the same rule exists in more authoritarian countries like China, North Korea, or Belarus?

If so should the government be allowed access to non-nationals outside the country? How about if a non-national is inside the country communicating with those outside? How about if those folks are journalist reporting where journalism is illegal (see Russia's laws on "fake news" on Ukraine).

I'm not saying your point of view is wrong, but I think its easy to jump to that conclusion as this is probably the least sympathetic case to set principle. But this _does_ set principle.

After seeing your post I tried to find some artifact on the web related to his talk, and I couldn't find anything. It does seem to me that Google search is becoming less and less effective as time goes on.

I went to another talk, also at UCLA and also in the 1970s (but maybe 2 years later?), by David Kindersley (father of Peter Kindersley, co-founder of publishing house DK) in which he discussed his apprenticeship to the stonecutter and typographer Eric Gill. I couldn't find any reference to that talk either, but I did find a UCLA webpage that claimed that UCLA has more Eric Gill memorabilia than any other library in the world.
