Nonalcoholic beers have gotten so popular and so good in Poland that pretty every pub has at least some on tap and many more bottled. Unfortunately they aren’t any cheaper than regular ones at all, and with beer now regularly priced at 16-22 PLN (roughly 4-5 euro), going out has gotten ridiculously expensive. From my observations, going out is not as common as it used to.

I don’t know what the problem is, but I have a feeling that it’s slightly more convoluted and part of a broader generational changes, as you noticed yourself.
I'm not sure what could be going unsaid here. The schizophrenic dad, absent mother, limited and erratic money for food, no adults to do the shopping and cooking, and mentions of programming blogs and escaping poverty all paint a clear picture. It's an open account and I don't feel the need to pry or ask questions about the exact conditions of the household, which were presumably not good, but I don't see anything vague.

Your comment, on the other hand, raises my curiosity in exactly the way that you seem to be against. I have no idea what you're trying to warn me not to do.

True, but think about all the people who are fully functioning and productive members of society and got afflicted with this disease. This med will increase the likelihood that they continue to be highly functioning and compliant with the treatment. This will allow them to keep their jobs and cognitive abilities.

Every person I know with this disease has trouble sticking to meds due to side effects, and not sticking to the meds and relapsing multiple times is probably one of the most important reasons that their condition regresses.
I've played with Cursor, it felt like all it has is a simple wrapper around Claude. It repeats what I've been doing manually before, namely copy pasting small code blocks into Claude and asking it to fix it. Cursor doesn't add much to that, plus it struggles sometimes when Claude says to insert something somewhere, Cursor fails to find out where that 'somewhere' is. The 'edit in text' function feels identical to Github Copilot, perhaps better in immeasurable 'quality' since Claude codes pretty well.

Somewhere out there is a far more 'native' way of coding with the AI together, where the LLM constantly sees the entire code base as you code; you don't code 'into the codebase', but you code 'into the LLM'. Hard to explain what I mean here...

Jesus, is this really what you meant? I can't imagine how barren my life would be if I restricted my interactions with others to only include things to which I was "entitled."
Tech discussions are hard to have nowadays because people are highly biased in favor of their current tech stacks.

The religiousness which used to be restricted to programming languages has expanded to include frameworks, databases, test runners, infrastructure, CI tooling, libraries; literally everything is a religion nowadays.

It makes almost all technical arguments disingenuous and pointless. Like people arguing about whose religion is more correct. Observable facts don't matter so much.

People see arguments in favor of some alternative stacks as a personal attack against their career.

It's probably because companies themselves have become so focused on hiring based on these stacks. They have become a matter of livelihood.

In the old days, many companies saw software engineering ability as a separate skill; now they barely even use the word 'software engineering.'

Right or left that wasn't really my point. I didn't intend for anything political at all.

The original question was, essentially, why the economist published this.

My answer was because people engage with it.
It would cost you $2 with insurance in the US too. It’s a terrible system, it doesn’t make sense, but you have to understand that approximately no one pays the list price for prescription drugs - even people without insurance.
What is success in your metric? are you just counting GDP of companies that happen to be located there? If so, that has very little relationship to how well the state is being run.

It’s very easy to make arguments that they are successful in spite of a terribly run state government and are being protected by federal laws keeping the loonies in check (interstate commerce clause, etc).
Hypothetical situation:

Suppose in five or ten years we achieve AGI and >90% of people agree that we have AGI. What reasons do the authors of this paper give for being wrong?

1. They are in the 10% that deny AGI exists

2. LLMs are doing something they didn't think was happening

3. Something else?

Not being able to read English in the US is bad though. It makes you a very inefficient citizen even though you can get by. Being literate in Chinese and not being able to read or even speak English is far worse than an illiterate person that can speak English in day to day interactions.

> Are you suggesting it should be illegal for these players to buy energy on the open market?

Part of the problem is the AI companies are unwilling to sign long-term power purchase agreements. That means the utility is on the hook for both the capital cost of the development and the risk of unloading a bunch of excess power if the tech company decides to relocate.

I have a soft spot for obscure gaming consoles (couldnt tell you why). So, after I made my PC Engine game, I kind of landed on either Wonderswan or PCFX and the Wonderswan had a really awesome tool chain made for it recently* whereas the PCFX still has some way to go for development.

I mean conversely every second week on HN someone complains about "inefficient modern development practices" and this is the sort of minor thing which would be trotted out as an example.

So I'd argue it's not an unreasonable question (although I lean closer in: better types then JSON is the problem, since a decent text serialization format is always going to be needed for debugging and development).
I think you are right!

Just as London industrialized heavily and then pulled back in the late 1800's (https://ourworldindata.org/london-air-pollution), I think we are at peak Internet age right now.

In the future we will just have our own copies of most of what we want, and will go back to living closer to nature.
....But this is falling into exactly the same trap: the idea that "some people don't engage the faculties their brains do/could (with education) possess" is equivalent to the LLMs that do not and cannot possess those faculties in the first place.
ASN suffers from some of the other problems regardless of the encoding.

I was thinking about this more and I think FTP actually had a lot of the right ideas here. You want two channels. One for fast interactive command messaging and a second one coordinate especially just for bulk transfers arranged over the command channel. The design flaw in FTP of putting these on two separate ports put it immediately in conflict with firewall best practices so I think it went mostly unnoticed that it fundamentally is a good arrangement.

What you want is one channel, sequenced packets, with a defined maximum message length that is negotiated at startup and never changes during the life of the channel. This should probably never be more than 65k. There should be a known length packet type, and an unknown length packet type, with any attempt to send more than the negotiated maximum triggering an error and disconnect.

If you do need to send more than the negotiated amount you should open a new connection, in a bulk transfer mode, that after the initial handshake, has no protocol and is merely an associated stream of bytes that are wholly uninterpreted by the middleware layer other than to help you associate it with the sequenced packet that requested its initiation.

You'd actually be able to use TCP (with DSCP even), mostly avoid head of line blocking and multiplexer latencies, and have a reasonable security guarantee in the sequenced packet mode, and never have a protocol which pretends that 4GB strings in the middle of a packet are necessary or even a good idea to "support."

The downfall of this is that it would be much harder to implement it on a serverless architecture and would be nearly as complicated as a protocol as WebSocket ends up being. It might be worth playing with as a concept anyways.

Use of Prolog for developing a new programming language (1992)
While out hiking one day, I started thinking about buying a small ladder for the kitchen. When I got home that evening, I started seeing ads for ladders even though I had not searched for ladders, spoke to anyone about ladders, or even texted anyone about them. It was just a thought I had while hiking. Was it a coincidence or something else?

Finally figured it out a day later when reviewing my hike on the Fitbit app. At the end of my hike I forgot to shutoff route tracking. On my way home, I had stopped by Walmart to grab a few things and while there, looked at their ladders. I could see on the app the path I took through the store, including when I stopped for a few minutes in front of the ladders. That was enough data to trigger ads for ladders for the next couple of days.

We leak data about ourselves constantly without realizing how much we're doing it or where it ends up going. Lots of it is also circumstantial and makes me wonder what erroneous ideas some of these databases might have accumulated over the years and who gets to see that "information". What happens if you walk through a part of town where there's an activist rally for "We Love Kitten Torture" going on? Do you forever get tagged in a bunch of databases as an animal torturer?
It's also interesting to think about it when you say bothered.

I'm super american, born and raised and now living in the western Midwest. When the wait staff talk to me, I'm genuinely interested in hearing about them. I like meeting new people, even if those people are being paid to meet me. I legitimately enjoy learning about the lives of the people I meet, even briefly.

Is that an American thing? Is that a bad thing?
Nah, you know I'm not really interested your recommendations anymore, it has nothing to do with the discussion after all, make a submission if you want to talk about it.

I will point out to anyone else bored enough to read this silly comment chain that they quoted the section from "Camera Enforcement and Racial Composition", not the section about police stops and the amount of citations that come from them. Even in the main article you can see that the tentatively "unbiased" speed cameras ticketed black people slightly more than everyone else by a negligible amount (~4%).

Ironically the entire premise of the article was that speed camera citations are unbiased so this quote is kind of, what do you even call this? Since this was taken out of context to misrepresent the implication, lets just leave it at deliberate misinformation, since I simply can't understand how someone could do this accidentally. Maybe they wanted to take advantage of the fact I said I was unlikely to reply? Who knows?
Yes, if we just banned ads I suspect that would already greatly affect our consumption.
I often wonder why that protocol isn’t used in other fields. It has clear schemas with documentation, and existing codegen implementations.

OTOH, it’s too complex for simple protocols with a few messages.

Feeding human vetted GPT4 data into GPT5 is no different to a human receiving inputs from its interaction with the world and learning. More accurate means smarter, gradually it's intrinsic world model improves as does reasoning etc.

I agree those are the things that will advance it but taking a step back it potentially meets that criteria even if less useful day to day (given its an abstract viewpoint over time and not at the human level).

Historically, in the United States, the barbershop was a meeting place. It was a place you went to talk and relax. It's weird in the modern society of fast cuts and what not.

But barbers tend to go into that business because they like talking to people. And you're right, every barber I've ever had has pried into my life. But I've also been more willing to share life experiences with barbers, and listen to their experiences than any other profession. Not sure why.

Unattended apple trees can create rotting apples on the ground, certainly. Those are admittedly not pretty, but in Central Russia (and, presumably, in Estonia, which is not that far off climate- and fauna-wise) they’re just one more layer of soil by spring. Do hotter temperatures or different wildlife make them a bigger problem in the US somehow?
Likewise. The idea that I can elevate others like others have for me is exhilarating.

My childhood was a little bleak in some ways like the author of this post. Not as bleak. But definitely lean times, sick parents, lots of time alone on the internet.

Without that, who knows what would have happened to me. I don’t think but I know deeply that I can help others, both through my experience as a kid being helped and through my experience as an adult mentoring others.

I wish I could write more and do it better, or find some means of giving back better. People have often referred to me as “self-taught”, but the reality is that I was taught by thousands of people. I only had the good fortune that I was willing to seek out their knowledge. I’m extremely grateful for that.

The left don't support Hamas. They support Palestine, which is a theoretical government for the people there. Ironically, Israel supports Hamas. Netanyahu supported setting them up as the leadership in Gaza because he could use them as a scapegoat and prevent a two-state solution.

We should all disparage both Hamas and Israel's nationalist leaders for causing the whole mess and getting civilians killed in the crossfire.

I didn't think the HN community considers big aerospace (and I work in one of them!) to be tech in the sense of startups on the one side and FAANG on the other. Some have even said as much. Yes, my shop hires from UCLA and USC, slightly less from Caltech in recent years but the promotions go predominantly to USC people. Can't be because of technical or managerial quality, either.

I must have been at Berkeley and then Stanford (grad school) during downturns. I finished up the latter in 1990 before the dotcom boom changed everything and apparently the former has grown in reputation although along different axes as well.

When I was an undergrad, Berkeley's powerhouse rep. in the physical sciences and elsewhere were good for instruction and research opportunities. Lots of Type A profs didn't like to be bad at anything so they taught well or at least tried hard at it. Research opportunities speak for themselves since the labs were well equipped with hardware and people and LBL was nearby. Helped me get into grad schools and with a nice external fellowship to pay for it but from the late 1990s on, that background has never helped in job searches or advancement.

Edit: I should also note that Berkeley may be placing people in the SF Bay Area (your post) but that the Ivies/MIT/Stanford have name recognition and influence far beyond their regions.

It's just a tiny fraction of the losses resulting from burning fuel to heat water to produce steam to drive a turbine to yield electric power.
And I'm much less frustrated by people who are, in fact, claiming that LLMs can do these things, whether or not I agree with them. Frankly, while I have a basic understanding of the underlying technology, I'm not in the ML field myself, and can't claim to be enough of an expert to say with any real authority what an LLM could ever be able to do, just what the particular LLMs I've used or seen the detailed explanations of can do.

No; this is specifically about people who stipulate that the LLMs can't do these things, but still want to claim that they are or will become AGI, so they just basically say "well, humans can't really do it, can they? so LLMs don't need to do it either!"
Yes yes because the solution to the myopic God complex of the tech industry is more of it.

Wow. Really chugging the coolade.
> things are too big

Yes. Leaving a small town IRL to visit a more appropriate small digital town where people share interests but might be from anywhere was exactly what everyone I knew on early internet bbs/irc/mud was doing, basically. Presumably if you were in a larger city, you could already find people IRL with your interests somehow, even if the interests were obscure. Identity was anonymous but persistent and it was still a small town, so you couldn’t just be an ass all the time or you’d be ostracized.
