I am always glad to see people pursuing creating their own programming language. More people should give it a try, IMHO.

A tricky thing that comes up with Rust comparisons is that often, Rust has a feature that's weird or hard to use, but it's because that's the only solution that makes sense within the constraints Rust has placed upon itself. Clicking some links gets me to https://git.yzena.com/Yzena/Yc/src/branch/master/docs/yao/de...

> Yao's biggest goals are: Correctness, Convenience, Performance, in that order.

Having clear goals is a great thing when making a language, because they give you guidance on what is appropriate to include and what is not.

Rust has certainly demonstrated having similar goals, but in a slightly different order: Correctness, Performance, and then Convenience. So it wouldn't shock me if Yao could do some things better than Rust, in accordance with its goals. But that also means that sometimes, Rust would be useful where Yao cannot be. Everything is tradeoffs.

Incidentally, I actually think that figuring out what your values are, and what your needs are, is a great way to pick a programming language. Decide what matters to you as an engineer, and then find a language that shares similar values. I gave a conference talk a few years back on this idea, and how I viewed Rust's values at the time https://www.infoq.com/presentations/rust-tradeoffs/

This was based off of bcantrill's Platform as a Reflection of Values, which was very influential on me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xhx970_JKX4

If you've ever heard about Oxide's focus on values, this is some of the older background on that.
It... already does. You can get a warrant for whatever evidence you need already, no need for any new legislation. The constitutional requirement is for judicial supervision, and that's been pretty solid (not perfect, but good) for almost three centuries now.

I'm just saying that there is no "right to financial privacy" anywhere. You have a general right to privacy as granted by the fourth amendment. And courts take that seriously. But it's not absolute and the government is allowed to unmask things for law enforcement.

FWIW, on OpenBSD, cups-browsed is not on my system, but there are some cups files.

But cups-browsed is installed when you install packages "net/avahi" and "print/libppd" which I do not know what either of them are.

So I guess on Linux avahi needs cups-browsed.
The problem is that capitalism is a very large tent. There is no such thing as a free market, and every market where people can trade goods and services is "capitalist" by definition regardless of its rules. Some markets are good and some markets are bad, but we're having conversations about market vs no market when we should be talking about how we design markets that improve society rather than degrade it.
Paxos isn't a DLT, it's a consensus algorithm — granted, DLTs tend to require a consensus algorithm, but they're not the same things.

As for Hedera Hashgraph being the trust layer of the internet, we tend to build the internet through the IETF and standards setting. Unfortunately HH is an endeavour from a private company so isn't especially likely to be taken on in that context.

I'd also wonder what you mean by the trust layer of the internet, what are the use cases that you'd like to see solved with such a trust layer?
I understand the achievement, but can't square it with my belief that uniform systolic arrays will prove to be the best general purpose compute engine for neural networks. Those are almost trivial to route, by nature.
That's not how any license agreement works.

> In many respects, it surpasses OLED, which is why mastering monitors used in Hollywood still employ this technology.

Flanders Scientific were the main champions of dual LCDs in that market, and even they have phased out all of their dual LCD models in favor of QD-OLED ones now. I think they just brute force through OLEDs usual brightness limits by actively cooling the panel.

Indeed. If they raid your house for running a Tor exit node and find nmap installed, they'll add on a hacking tools charge to your running a drug marketplace charge and your money laundering charge, and in court, the hacking tools charge will actually stick because you actually did that.

Unsure about the effectiveness of banning air travel ads. If you have a compelling reason to go somewhere the time savings of air travel often make it a no-brainer compared to other forms of transport. Banning oil ads seems more effective long term because there alternative forms of energy for most purposes, and it helps to mitigate fossil fuel propaganda.
Bolingbrook, IL. As of now - opening date seems like late Nov., but of course we're new to the resto business and there's a learning curve on all of the non-food bits of it.
Yes, but in most western juridsictions using tor is acceptable so that is fine.

Weird, this whole time I had the impression that the Apple App Store was more strongly reviewed than the Google Play Store. I remember searching on the Play Store and getting e.g. lookalike/phishing apps pretending to be Firefox, but which I’m sure actually did cryptocurrency mining.
Interesting how you consistently prompt questions without making declarative statements of your own beliefs.

Of course there is logic and standards. Such as my logic that sports betting on individual plays is more conducive to corruption and more numerous than whole-game outcomes, thus more appropriate for regulation.

The constitution was written in the aftermath of a might-makes-right event called a war. Among other things, it puts in place certain rules more protected than others, to add some order to the chaos and protect minoruty interests.
I thought it was clear that the person you responded to (as well as the grandparent comment) was talking about the future. No one is denying that we are much better off right now as a species than we ever have been. The point is that we can't safely assume that that trend will continue in the next 25, 50, or 100 years.

Telegram encryption is not opt in. End-to-end encryption however is.

Also this always get mentioned and everyone confuses encryption and end-to-end encryption.

What seems to never get mentioned here unless I do is that there is more to security than end-to-end encryption or not:

WhatsApp would (will? I don't use it since years ago) happily upload your data unencrypted (actually unencrypted not not-end-to-end-encryted!) to the biggest data harvester of all -Google if you or anyone you chat with enabled cloud backups.

Signal had months I think where they had a weird bug were tje client would send pictures to people without the user triggering it.

Facebook Messenger besides leaking all your communication patterns to the second largest data harvester also have this nifty feature were if someone reports your message an unencrypted message goes to Facebook.

Facebook was also the ones that suggested people uploaded nudes so the could "know what they should remove", wasn't it?

Signal also had a nasty exploit that would let anyone who sent a specially crafted message take control over the signal users computer if they opened the message in the desktop client.

Telegram is also the only one that I am aware of that has reproducible builds for both Android and IOS. For every other client you have to trust them. With Telegram you can (could at least last I checked) check out the source, build it and compare it to the version on the App Store.

What I mean is not that one should trust Telegram (there are things I use Signal for), only that when it comes to security engineering there is a lot more to consider than end-to-end encryption and HN really struggles to see this.

With Sports gambling the entertainment doesn't come from actually placing the bet, it comes from watching the game that now has higher stakes.

In France you can find them in supermarkets for EUR 3.50 apiece.

Well… that’s the crux of the discomfort. These brands’ newsrooms do in fact have those people. That’s the reason their names inspire trust.

Now, they’ve decided to cash out that trust by lending their names to sleazy content farming affiliate marketer types.

For now, that’s valuable, since people (and Google) trust the names based on what they used to do—and they distrust the rest of the endless chorus of hucksters. But sooner or later, the world realizes there’s no longer good reason to trust those names. They’re just snake oil (and CBD gummy) salesmen like the rest.

And then we’re left without popular institutions that are trustworthy when we need to understand complicated and true things about the world. And we’ve punished people (and Google) for even trying to place more weight on honest reportage and institutional signals of expertise.
I complained at a US based company I worked for after discovering plain text passwords, nobody seemed to care, including the other programmers. I complained louder and we half-fixed it by removing the plain text passwords from the test database every person in the company had access too, but the plain text passwords were still used in production. There were millions of them, all US customers; if you're someone who eats fast food in the US, there's a chance your password was in there.

Everyone was really busy working on the new layout our UI designer had come up with, so nobody gave a shit about the plain text passwords.

I can only guess they're still doing this, but don't know for sure because I was fired a little while later for being a poor culture fit. They don't do business in EU.
Questions for those in the know about chip design. How are they measuring the quality of a chip design? Does the metric that Google is reporting make sense? Or is it just something to make themselves look good?

Without knowing much, my guess is that “quality” of a chip design is multifaceted and heavily dependent on the use case. That is the ideal chip for a data center would look very different from those for a mobile phone camera or automobile.

So again what does “better” mean in the context of this particular problem / task.
humanity is not flying.. a very, very small subset of humanity.. and "largest carbon footprint has most prestige" is a very real phenomenon among that set. Four times in the last month I have read bragging stories mentioning very privelaged and therefore "elite" individuals described, including extreme private airplane use. Watch for the kneejerk response, too. Anti-"climate protest" media commonly uses the "flying hypocrisy" attack against those who are actively agitating against Fossil Fuels.. it works!

Compare and contrast to "Climate Week New York City" this week and the passenger miles involved with that. Hint- there is no "truth" in the analysis.. it is reactive and exaggerated on all sides.
It will probably take a lot to make humans die out at this point. Humans will die, but not humanity. Technological society might collapse, although I think our adaptability will ultimately save it. And it will continue to destroy the conditions for other species to survive, as we collapse and then grow again - until we figure out how to not do that.

There only one resolution to this big conundrum and that is to make technological society to not compete with the biological ecosystem of earth.

This makes no sense. Nobody told Israel they had to be in the desert, their barbaric and outdated religion told them to go there. Britain gave them the opportunity to establish Israel anywhere they wanted and it had to be "the holy land".

I'm kind of the in "hey its their choice" camp but would love to hear an alternative perspective.

My main gripe is that it seems like a strangely weird place to decide where we need protection.

I would think a similar article could be written about, just off the top of my head:

* Junk food

* Participating in dangerous sports (Football, Boxing, etc)

* All forms of gambling

* Alcohol, cigarettes

* Pornography

All of which are also dangerous, potentially addictive, and probably has a larger net negative impact than sports gambling.

What principles could be adopted to not turn this into a larger and larger bureaucracy that decides which of these industries gets preferential treatment over another?
In the last 400,000 years the concentration has fluctuated from about 180ppm to about 300 many times.[1] My historical reference in the previous post was the last 500,000,000 years. In that context we are low.

> It seems like a strange thing to take someone with a long and respected career and subject them to what would essentially be a Western blot and photomicrograph audit before offering them a big position.

This is absolutely something that we should routinely be doing, though.
> This is like complaining about DUIs being illegal because we already have laws banning manslaughter.

The premise of DUIs is to punish a person acting recklessly. The premise of KYC is to punish a third party for not conducting mass surveillance on predominantly innocent people in case one of them commits a crime. It's hard to see how these are analogous.

> Practically every prosecution of money-laundering services included evidence of knowledge by the operator that their customers included people committing crimes.

This is quite a fig leaf for any entity operating at scale. The customers of any major bank will obviously include people committing crimes -- they have millions of customers. They also have thousands of employees, and then some percentage of them will be criminals as well. Expecting the intersection of these to be literally zero is an unreasonable standard.

More to the point, the underlying problem is what it incentivizes them to do, i.e. manufacture some opaque and arbitrary indicators and then conduct mass surveillance and punish innocent people for running afoul of secret rules.
Most mobile games too, not just the social media apps.
I like the idea of a guide like this. Reminds me of “Implementation of Hex Grids,” another high quality game-related guide: https://www.redblobgames.com/grids/hexagons/implementation.h... and before that, “Beej’s Guide to Network Programming”: https://beej.us/guide/bgnet/

We did try on the T4 and A10G but the raytracing failed even though those cards claim to support it.

We ended up on Paperspace for the time being but they depreciated their support for Windows so I've been looking for alternatives. Will check out the provides you mentioned. Thanks again.
No we won’t, we’ll all be laid off and some young devs will be hired 1/3 the cost to replace your ui library with something else spit out of an llm which specifically tuned to cobble together js apps.
Capital controls are becoming more and more erratic and authoritarian. A decentralized currency provides a relief valve.
I just want you to know how much this visualization was appreciated. In my time working at AWS, I recommended this website to every one of our new hires to learn how distributed consensus works. Know that this has taught probably 50+ people. Thank you for what you’ve built.

Obviously some did and they made a lot of money. So what? The market as a whole didn't.

> There's a sort of midwit

If the company grows by as much as it is expected to grow barring any external factors then yes, your "meme" certainly makes sense.
"I" lost all interest. That's not a dig at them, or you. I've dealt with my own demons and am very comfortable differentiating between sharing my experience from the "I", and not drifting into giving unwanted advice.

I know myself, and I know if I gambled on my one sport where I follow one team, it would ruin the game for me. I would no longer watch for the intricacies of the game. I get worked up enough without the extra dopamine hits of gambling added into the mix. I hate the fact that half the advertisements are now for a product that ruins lives. My kids are being target with gambling ads when they watch with me.

These are still my old college roommates. Not good friends though. More like drinking buddies. And that's okay. I don't hop on airplanes to go see them anymore because I can get the same quality of interaction from our text message group. I'm at a place in life where I value deeper human connection, and its not there anymore.

That's all on me. I know plenty of people content to watch sports all weekend, with or without gambling. Good for them. It's just not my thing, and both perspectives can coexist just fine. One doesn't invalidate the other.

> You’re negative here — and I think you know it.
> you have issues with this topic.

I absolutely have issues with this topic. It's a cancer on society, as the article confirms.

Some in people can gamble and not ruin their lives. Same with drinking. If you are one of those who can moderate in dopamine fueled areas of life, congrats. I can't, so I chose not to participate.

Depends on whose viewpoint you read. He was the biggest shareholder and received $176 million when PayPal was sold to eBay. He was there from the beginning. And he wasn’t the marketing guy. Whether you like him or not, that’s all very different from Altman.
Any chance this is uploaded to the ollama registry? I believe there's a similar model on there already for llama-2-uncensored. That would be fantastic.

When I was five or six, my grandmother took me and my siblings on a train to Toronto (maybe a two hour trip) around Christmas to walk down some street (no idea which) and look at the Christmas displays in shop windows. It was all magic to me.

I don't think we ever bought anything although she must have fed us something. It's one of my favorite memories and I still love trains. I'm hoping to ride Via from Toronto to Vancouver in a cabin car someday soon!
Not sure how this is relevant given it's the effects of a future climate catastrophe being discussed, not something that has already happened.

AI is really good at automating away shit we didn’t need to do to begin with, but for some stupid reason were doing anyway.

Ghost writing rich people’s vanity/self-marketing trash business or self-help books (you would not believe how many of these are written every year). Images (and prose) for internal company department newsletters that almost nobody reads.

Great at that crap—because it doesn’t matter anyway.

Whether making it far cheaper to produce things with no or negative value (spam, astroturf, scams) is a good idea… well no, it’s obviously terrible. It’d (kinda) be good if demand for such things remained the same, but it won’t, so it’s really, really bad.
It's an interesting point to cherry-pick, and it's fair to question the affect of atmospheric CO2 on aquatic life, but you can't say that CO2 levels are at historic lows when they're up 30% in the past 60 years [1].

I think that your post misses the point that making something cheaper by stealing it is unethical.

You're presenting AI as if it's some new way of producing value but it simply isn't. All the value here was produced by humans without the help of AI: the only "innovation" AI has offered is making the theft of that value untraceable.

> You can make houses by hand out of beautiful hardwood with complex joinery. Houses built by expert craftsmen are easily 10x better than the typical house built today. But what difference does that make when practically nobody can afford it? Just like nobody can afford to have a 24/7 tutor that speaks every language, can help you with your job, grammar check your work, etc.

Let's take this analogy to its logical conclusion: would you have any objections if all the houses ever built by expert craftsmen were given free of charge to a few corporations, with no payment to the current owners or the expert craftsmen themselves, and then then those corporations began renting them out as AirBnBs? That's basically what you're proposing.
