I didn't say it doesn't act as a mood. I'm saying that it acts as a tense, and therefore I can name it as such, as how grammar forefathers named "present perfect tense" in English despite all the objections from HN about "perfect" being an aspect. :)
The Curry language (https://www.curry-language.org) does look interesting. Does anybody have practical experience with it?
Yes but I think it’s more likely he is having a mental breakdown.
You might be surprised at what benefits from the big cache outside of games but that is certainly one of the main selling points. :)
I hope Matt can get better but in the meantime, the community needs to fork. In the same way that LibreOffice forked from OpenOffice. Otherwise the blogosphere is just going to adopt one of the competing platforms and many of them (at least many of the "user friendly" ones) are not open source.
Physical books are great. I love physical books. But (among other downsides) they take too much space. I've got just over 2,500 books on my Kindle. That's more than 200 linear feet of shelf space if they were physical books.

My ideal library is a hybrid: physical for art books, kid's books, reference books, large format or special edition, signed copies or sentimental treasures, etc., and digital for everything else. An iPad as a digital card catalog for the entire collection and a couple of Kindles for actual reading. (Impossible to browse on a Kindle ...)
The copyright to Hitler's Mein Kampf passed to the Bavarian government, which after WW2, refused to allow it to be printed until the book fell into public domain.

Browsing the list of in rem cases in the US turns up quite a few cases where the US actually seized several pornographic books such as Lady Chatterley's Lover, which is perhaps a little more in line with what you were thinking about.

That is so the wrong approach. If I’m very reductive, I could say that if we automate everything there would be no one to commute left. Staffing is good for people: for safety, information, help for the vulnerable, expertise, robustness of the system, etc.

Perhaps some public services can’t turn a profit but are still necessary. Perhaps they can turn a profit if even more people use them. Perhaps other economic models are needed for these companies, see for example Singapore and Hong Kong where the rail company owns the land at stations and are allowed to develop there which funds the network and incentivizes buildout.
Then surely op’s, as you ascribed, “bootstrapping network of self referential agents” could easily “improve itself” and by “expanding its own capabilities” demonstrate such, as you defined, “trite, beige, and unworthy of mention” suggestions.
Hmm not sure what kind of solar panels you might be thinking about. GaAs from which supplier?
Hammer Looking for a Nail, AI Drone Looking for Business Case
I’ve fulfilled my duty to Roko's basilisk. I made an Aerial Intelligence system, and I call it Dispatcher. Jarvis on a drone, skynet, or compute token eater, its basically a drone you don't have to fly because it understands and takes action based on the world around it.

Although its a regulatory nightmare I think this is what Drones as a First Responder will look like in 5-10 years. Officers have on-demand air support they can talk to like a police helicopter.

I see many obstacles in the way to making this MVP into a product. There are plenty of use cases but no path to market. The liability and regulatory implications of a unmanned system making autonomous decisions while flying over people and properties seems insurmountable. It relies on off-the-shelf hardware that cannot compete with DJI’s. The drone has a lot of onboard compute and has unlimited range thanks to 5G, and the control interface is well abstracted so you could integrate any web UI, REST, mobile app, or even normal phone calling, but still relies on really beefy cloud compute for the Multi-Modal model. The current C2 UI is web based so I've been sending people links and they've been flying the drone from different timezones. I could see this as a very powerful integration into existing UAV systems such as Andruil’s Lattice, Skydio DFR command, Brinc’s DFR solution, etc; but as a standalone product it would have a difficult time finding PMF.

I’m looking for partnerships, potential integrations, or a co-founder to take this to market. If you have any interest in the project please reach out, I’m happy to give demos.
They do focus on their core product first. I hang out in their discord, it's first priority always. Their other ventures are in service of the search engine— FastGPT powers quick answers, universal summarizer powers the "summarize this link" feature, small web is their go at an index of their own.

Orion is kind of a stretch I think, but they do see it as
being in service of their search product as it's the only way they'll ever be the default search engine anywhere.
It's a low probability, high impact event in a country with limited public access to affordable health care and very limited access to therapists.
Why isn't it the case with the use of the term "present perfect tense" in English then, despite "perfect" being an aspect, not even a tense? How is present perfect closer to a tense, but this one closer to a mood? What's the difference?
About 20 years ago, I was setting up a shared PC at my university. I googled for a way in Windows XP (via registry or group policy) to only let specific programs run. I added stuff like explorer.exe, iexplore.exe, winword.exe, acroread.exe, and a few others.

Fast forward a few years, and the computer was still running great. The desktop and downloads folders were full of messengers, "flash players" and other malware - but all binaries were throwing cryptic error. Since no one in IT was around or cared, nobody figured out how to edit the allow list. The computer was deemed half-broken. But when neighboring PCs were completely infested, this one could still open, edit, and print office docs flawlessly.

It felt like a magic fix for shared Windows PC security.

Hey, hey! I'm extremely sorry if I hurt your feelings. I didn't mean that. Coming from another designer, developer, builder, I might have reacted similarly when my product had a different reaction than I expected.

Honestly, I wish you success and help others who depend on such tools for their well-being and productivity.

Treat mine as feedback after using so many similar tools in my life. Thus, I have turned to solving problems with patterns, processes, and systems and then layer tools on top — not starting with the tools.
Ask HN: What's your favorite AI agent tool?
I remember there was this web-based tool with a cool brutalist UI (and was open source) that lets you send AI agents off to run an errand, but I'm blanking quite hard.

Ok, let me correct my question:

Why is "present perfect tense" closer to a tense, but "learned past tense" is closer to a mood?
More familiar taste, of animal fat and protein.
> Whining that public institutions are sacred, and that libraries need to be worshiped makes it seem like you don't even understand the problem. I would think that you might instead want to celebrate that we live in a world where everyone could have their own library, and might instead spend your effort encouraging them to want one.

This is a pretty funny comment considering in the previous sentence you complain that 'kids these days' don't do anything but watch TikTok.

Again, I might have been biased with the fact that iA Writer is from the old world and was extremely popular when it came out. It was an entirely new way of taking notes. Many are copies these days, and in a good way. I made the wrong assumption that most in the tech world would have heard of iA.net, a swish company, that makes beautiful software.

That example you gave is a good reason why artists get pissed off IMO. The LLM is clearly aping some artists specific style, and now missing out on paid work as a result.

Thanks for writing, a problem I struggle with. I think confidence in oneself impacts the decision. You seem to be highly employable, meaning you can err on the side of exploration. I’m less convinced about that for myself, which makes me anxious to keep exploring. Although I find it very difficult to resist that part of my nature!
Sorry, this is a GPL plugin to stuff already maintained by Automattic?

It's not like users aren't already updating to whatever Automattic want to give them, in the core, if that's the case? Automattic producing the same plugin and delivering it the same as the core doesn't sound like much of change, since users already trusted Automattic for the core either way...

In that rare situation, we do not at all need every student calling out. Why is it "a great reason"?
This. With a phone handy, it’s tempting them into not paying attention, at the very least. The best of intentions can be undone by poor or misaligned incentives. And a phone (and a computer to a lesser extent) provides us with the incentive (easy access) to procrastinate indefinitely. Those of us with a limited will power stand no chance.
I would argue the opposite is true. I would much prefer some faceless stranger to trash talk me over the internet, who will disappear from existence in 30-40 minutes, than have the same happen from someone I actually know and have to interact with on a daily basis.

I suspect this has been the case for the majority of people for the majority of history, unfortunately.
Everybody say it with me: “privatization of natural monopolies is dumb and wasteful!”
I work at similar size company. Basically they are like most companies building out the next 5 years while also keeping the lights on at four nines. There can be a lot of depth to product that you dont see. Anyone who says "why you need X people" often havn't tried a side hussle where you see 360 all the activities involved.

Building at scale without racking up big bill and hitting SLAs require a decent amount of effort.
I go through phases of mostly reading online vs mostly reading printed books. I strongly suspect that pieces like this, which focus on saving print culture, are driven more by emotion than reason.

Just because it's in print doesn't mean it's worth reading. For example, many printed books are literally fiction. If you read something online, more likely than not it is at least "based on a true story".

Our culture attaches a certain significance to reading printed literature. It's supposed to make you deeper and more cultured. That's very nice, but I don't think reading classic literature as a hobby is meaningfully different from, say, listening to avant-garde jazz or reading old superhero comics as a hobby. I'm skeptical reading fiction makes you a better friend, worker, or citizen. Just makes you more "cultured". (Which is fine!)

What about nonfiction? A lot of nonfiction doesn't respect the reader's time. "This book should've been a blog post; this blog post should've been a tweet." Nonfiction print authors tend to devote many words to irrelevant anecdotes, stating common sense, or repeating a point they already made.

And just because it's in print doesn't mean the information is accurate. I know one blogger who started doing spot-checks and concluded many printed books have inaccurate info:

>I was worried my epistemic spot checking project was doomed before it began. The well regarded Sapiens dismissed a link between cultural and genetic evolution, and Last Ape Standing made two explosively wrong errors in the first chapter. Neither related to human evolution (one was about modern extreme poverty and the other about cetacean evolution), but I just couldn’t let them go. I worried that every book was terrible if you actually fact checked it, or maybe just every book on the emergence of homonids?

https://acesounderglass.com/2017/04/18/epistemic-spot-check-...

Finally -- we forget much of what we read anyways!

So in conclusion, I don't think it's print culture which is good, so much as social media that's bad.

>Less parking lots need to be constructed. Less concrete, less carbon. Less roads need re paving every 10 years or whatever - let's compare the carbon of rail maintenance to an asphalt road.

Yes, these are all valid other axes to consider. I nevertheless think it's necessary to estimate each of their values as so many "points", which, yes, may be subjective. Those points might as well be dollars, because dollars are what we (as the local government) finally wind up spending on whatever projects we decide on.
Which is kinda exactly the thing people say while in the middle of irrational behavior and psychotic episodes brought on by cocaine abuse.

That _might_ not be what's doing on. But it's entirely plausible given <waves hands around at everything>

Starship & Star Wars
>> The point is that making it work on Earth is orders of magnitude easier than making it work on Mars (or wherever)

I disagree.

There are folk who know the physics and the engineering of putting a colony in, say, the Moon. That knowledge is theoretical to an extent, since we haven't done it before. But we don't need any new physics or even radically new engineering. So, you get a bunch of engineers, give them 10% of the West's budget, and you are good to go. It should be said that whatever it costs to put a self-sustaining colony outside of Earth will be an investment. Even if, for whatever reason, you can't trade heavy commodities with that settlement, you are creating a blueprint. Next time somebody wants to spend $XXXXXXX in weapons or a trade war, they may consider to instead use your blueprint and go somewhere where they can live the way they want.

Now think about some other problem, like say, avoiding a nuclear war with Putin. You could give him Europe or a chunk of it an hope he would be sated. Or you could try to forcibly remove Putin from power. If you succeed, you would have turned his entire nation into a decided enemy of the West for at least a century, not less willing to use nuclear weapons. You could invade Russia--again, risking nuclear annihilation in the process--, occupy the country and destroy their nuclear stock. That's going to be 30% of the West's budget at least, and a huge human toll. The reconstruction effort will be 20% of the West's budget for many decades, and you will need to rebuild that country or their resentment will cost you dearly. What about China and Taiwan, and a few decades from now, China vs Australia and China vs India? What about global warming and ecological collapse?

I think you are failing to see the staggering complexity of "making it work on Earth", and the fact that we only need to fail once.
Or at least, driving at very slow speeds with no pedestrians around doesn't require much attention.
References in established systems like LaTeX work the way they do for a reason: you don't want to embed words in them (like "Figure" or "Section") automatically because it does not work across languages.

Eg. both the article and docs at https://typst.app/docs/reference/model/ref/ use an inline reference that wouldn't work in Serbian.

Serbian (and many other languages) have suffix declensions, so while "Figure 4" is "Slika 4", when used like "in Figure 4", you really need "u Slici 4" (and lowercase, really) instead of "u Slika 4" as produced by Typst.

On the plus side, it seems to use OTF locl tables for substitution glyphs for language, though it only partially works for Serbian (might be due to bad locl tables for LinLibertine which seems to be the default font).

I am sure it's not too hard to only get the reference number (eg. @foo.context.something?), but defaults should be good or maybe per-language?

I can see how they wanted to avoid authors having to hard-code the reference type if they change eg. something from an image to a table, but it's hard to make it smart enough for any language.

We need to carve a few (many actually) books onto stone tablets. That's the only way they will be preserved. We could easily build stone cutting machines to do it.

That was a great article from drupal. It’s a great idea and really goes along way to help, but we still need more.

This only addresses foss projects that are hosted as an offering. It wouldn’t address how for example the pgp guy basically went broke or just the general amount of pressure maintainers of “critical” foss packages are under and are spread so thin, that it’s always a triage fire and there’s never any room to “level up” with rewrites or full code base audits. And a lot of it comes at a huge personal cost but it just so happens the people often times in those shoes end up being super noble.

Maybe this is a cynical take but year after year it really does seem the software we rely on for modern life is just a house of cards where most cards are solo devs or a handful each doing the task of atlas cus the worlds corporations just don’t give back!

My words will ring true in 10-20 years when most of these people kick the bucket or retire and all we have left will be google’s next android| fuchsia and windows server.
Ok, the GP is only using carbon offsets, but the economic one are just as good. Forgoing car ownership allows for that money to then go other economic uses. Forgoing fuel costs, $20 for electric, $100 for gas, again allows that to go into the other areas of the economy. These are easy to calculate, why not use them?

Shameless plug, for anyone who's interested in "self-improvement" agent check out StreamBench[1] where we benchmark and try out what's essential for improvements in online settings.
