While I'm no expert on AI, everything I've read from LeCunn on AI risk so far strikes me as directionally correct. I keep revisting the best examples I can find of the 'Foom' hypothesis and it just doesn't seem likely. Not to say that AI won't be both very useful and disruptive, just that existential fears like Skynet scenarios don't strike me as plausible.
One of the rules I teach people when they're starting using promises is never ever to write `new Promise(...)`.

That's not because it's bad - it's a useful tool if you're connecting event or callback-based systems to the world of promises and async/await. But a lot of people who are just getting started with promises seem to take a while to get used to chaining, and often resort to using the `new Promise` constructor to get promises to appear in the places they expect. So giving them a blanket rule ("never use `new Promise`") forces them to figure out a different approach.

It's become a lot easier since the introduction of async/await, where chaining isn't so important, but there are still always times when you need to understand that underneath the syntax sugar, there's still promises happening, and so I'm still finding the rule useful.
The belief that drinking one or two cups of red wine a day is good for your health is still deeply ingrained in many Mediterranean cultures. I think it's worth spreading awareness of the fact that the threshold for "healthy" alcohol consumption is probably much lower, if not zero.
Ok. I will admit this. SpaceX Engineering is making me feel regret for not choosing Aerospace Engineering back in Undergrad. Oh well, That Tower is almost within Civil-Structural Engineering.
bah! :( I don't understand how I'm supposed to call attention to the parts of my previous comments that were important to being understood, but disregarded in the reply if that is what was wholly inappropriate. Other than to not reply at all when previous comments are misunderstood or ignored.
Redbox Is Dead, Now's Your Chance to Nab One of the Machines
No, the point is, that when you are switching someone to linux, especially when it is a "normie", that would not be capable of installing windows either (nevermind dealing with windows update overwriting their oem driver), you do that for them.

Edit: No, most users do not have Nvidia GPU. Most Steam gamers do. But gamers are not entire computer market; it is just a small slice of the market. Meanwhile, Intel iGPU is the majority.
I have it by default on my phone. But when I want to find something, I always have to revert to Google:

- Maybe the localization of search results doesn’t work well in Europe,

- Sometimes it’s the literal name of the website and Google is better at that.
Isn't that the purpose of `restic mount`?
Here is Scott Manley's summary and analysis of flight 5:

interesting, thank you for the extra info
What do you mean by that? "restic mount" has been part of restic since the very start.
Restic has a mount subcommand that exposes all backups through a FUSE filesystem, no?

As an aside, what tools do you use to produce the diagrams?
I don’t think ”intelligent” is a particularly meaningful concept, and just leads to such confusion as your comment hints at. Do I think a person with locked-in syndrome is still a human being with thoughts, desires and needs? Yes. Do I think we can rank intelligences along an axis where a locked-in person somehow rates lower than a healthy person but higher than a cat? I don’t think so. A cat is very good at being a cat, much better than any human is.

Every moment your engines are burning at anything less than maximum thrust, you are wasting fuel. You want to relight as late as possible with as high thrust as possible for maximum efficiency. But that it actually works is nuts.
A little typo: I think you meant to say humans split from *other apes and monkeys, not "primates".

Humans are part of the Primate order[0], as well as other great apes like gorillas, and chimpanzees too.

We (the Homo genus) did split from the Pan genus (chimpanzees & bonobos) 5 million years ago.

There are better fuels in terms of Isp and density. They have some downsides such as being corrosive or having highly toxic exhaust.

There is NSFW content in the middle of that thread. Took me by surprise.
It's not a mandated "Waiting time". It's the max amount of time that they have to respond. And they wait until the very last day.
From Google's side, I think they're in a heavy monetization mode. Making the product worse by stuffing it with ads is one thing, but also the content on the web has deteriorated quality-wise. I don't have the data, but I saw somewhere that the majority of traffic is video. People aren't surfing the web anymore, they're relying on a few big platforms to deliver content to them. Finally, quality information on the web is no longer free.

> It's not going to Matt pocket

Yes, it is. He demanded WPEngine pay 8% of revenues to Automattic. Not to the community. To Automattic: matt's private, for-profit corporation. The one matt runs along with a private equity friend of his. The one matt likely owns much of, too. The one matt named after himself.

Also, please stop ignoring the questions posed to you:

Should matt have such a veto power over what the community wants? Put another way, the community has tolerated matt's behavior, but he keeps digging more and more – how do we stop his bad behavior?

And back to the first question: "tolerated" by who? The community embraced WPEngine and their contributions to the community. It's matt that the community can't tolerate.

Usr() is a way to call out to a machine (assembly) language subroutine from BASIC.
It's a terrible solution because it sets a price floor that makes it impossible for people to afford repairs. You need a $10 battery connector? 1% of 100k.

It's a vulnerable population who needs these parts. Probably lots of folks who can't work. Medicaid caps the amount of money you can have in an account at $8000 max. Pricing parts this way will push people into abject poverty out of desperation.

How about making parts for all medical devices something that must be covered by healthcare? Or, and this one is a crazy one, provide universal coverage so you can just get a new device at a reasonable price that's negotiated by the government?
They've earned it tbh, I haven't reached for Google

Ya, it wasn't until my early 40s where a daily drink started to affect me. I never started out that way... had maybe 1-2 drinks/week in my 20s but over time the usage crept up there until 1 drink was a weekday thing (glass of wine with dinner or a cocktail later), maybe 2 drinks on a weekend night. It slowly normalized itself from something special to something routine. Once I noticed the effect it was having I started to dial it back and now I'm back down to 1-2 drinks/week... usually a glass of wine or a cocktail with my wife. I imagine it will continue to dwindle as I lose interest in it.
I live in the US and I just counted 65 visible APs on 5GHz. The DFS channels aren't usable in this area, so almost all of those are trying to share the same 2 80MHz channels.

The "world's information" includes things as banal as "what did everyone have for breakfast yesterday?" And "what about the day before?"

There is simply _too much_ information. You cannot economically approach this problem. It doesn't matter how clever your staff is.

What you're describing is the fact that the _stated objective_ and the _profitable outcomes_ are two different things. We've all known that since they originally printed it.
> TFA does not mention "veganism" even once.

Though you're right about the headline, I don't think that your claim is true. Here's the first sentence (or maybe it's the caption of the first picture, or maybe it's the subhed? I can't tell):

> Vegan diets can contain more UPFs on average – but this might not be a problem.
The current batch of ML models looks a lot like filling in holes in the wall of text, drawings or movies: you erase a part of the wall and tell it to fix it. And it fills in the hole using colors from the nearby walls in the kitchen and similar walls and we watch this in awe thinking it must've figured out the design rules of the kitchen. However what it's really done is it interpolated the gaps with some sort of basic functions, trigonometric polynomials for example, and it used thousands of those. This solution wouldn't occur to us because our limited memory isn't enough for thousands of polynomials: we have to find a compact set of rules or give up entirely. So when these ML models predict the motion of planets, they approximate the Newton's law with a long series of basic functions.
I'd bet they've done A/B testing to suck as hard as they possibly can to maximize the gain/loss ratio.
The more the merrier, hope they succeed and hope politics won't play a role in which company gets chosen for future missions. Given the successful launch and capture of Starship/Superheavy today it looks like SpaceX will still be ahead for the foreseeable future, New Glenn lies between Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy in capacity.

None of these are good explanations. They're all either red herrings or Western-centric. Birth rates are falling in all cultures among all races with all religions and all belief systems. Only the rate of decline differs, and not by that much.

Another post pointed out that it correlates strongly with urbanization, which is better, but it still couldn't resist getting lost in irrelevant culture war stuff that clearly doesn't matter else we wouldn't see such uniform declines across all cultures.

The depopulation discourse drives me nuts because it seems like everyone jumps on their favorite culture war or economic hobby horse instead of looking at what is actually happening, which clearly rules a lot of that out.
The propagation differences between 5Ghz and 6Ghz are minimal compared with 2.4Ghz vs 5Ghz. In fact, given that there's a bunch of other protocol & HW improvements, it wouldn't be surprising to see identical 6Ghz and 5Ghz deployment density.
Thanks, that makes more sense than the title. :)
The biggest security nightmare that web browsers have to deal with is that they are always continuously running random JavaScript. Emacs' browser doesn't handle JS, which is a good thing for a simple browser. Emacs doesn't share this problem in that the Elisp that you run is all chosen by you, and it's always free and never obfuscated.

I don't really see how the XZ backdoor is relevant to this conversation, since these types of exploits are the fear of server operators, and generally not people who run user programs like Emacs on their desktop. A rogue Elisp function could delete all of the files in your home directory if it wanted to, but people don't really complain about that because being able to delete files is a desirable function.

If you ask me, Emacs is a program where user freedom is and should be the ultimate goal. Adding security features that the user has to jump around 'for his own good' and only really serve as idiot nets are dubiously effective and only hinder this freedom. If someone wants to install a package from a source other than the official archives, then the trust is placed in him to actually look at the source code he's received. Even if you install an official package you should still look at the code, as it's quite useful to know what's going on inside it when you want to configure it or add functionality. The vast majority of packages I use are a single file and tend to not take up more than a few screens, so they are easily understandable.
LLMs are great! They are just not what I would call Intelligence
Reddit was a place until the API changes were made. Discord is another at the cost of public discoverability. Barring that, man pages and groking the sources.
I'm having the same experience, trying Sober October. Hangovers suck, but I've stopped drinking to that point years ago so now I feel like not joining in socially is a net negative, limiting my ability to participate in the same experience as my friends (I'm 33).
We replaced the baity title with something suitably bland.

If there's a representative phrase from the article itself that's neutral enough, we could use that instead.
I wanted to try it ages ago but I bumped off from "can't register now". I tried it now and while it looks nice (a bit like google 15 years ago) I'm not sure I'm convinced:
1) lowest tier is only 300 searches per month (not sure how many I do but feels low)
1b) <rant> why-the-f* they show "+ tax" argh...
2) I use DDG and I like it and it just works for me and... it doesn't require account (and attached payment method!) so less tracking...
The official wp announcement of this said “we don’t plan on doing this to other plugins.” lol. anyone think they pinky promise? More like: build on Wordpress and unless you kiss the ring some guy named Matt will disappear your business.

No I don't. Semantic wrapping all the way.

I think HN should add drugs/alcohol to the forbidden topics list next to politics. All it does is bring on a bunch of pointless anecdotes: humble brags from teetotalers and awkward justifications from everyone else.
I realize the article is trying to convince people to ideally have no alcohol at all, advice I consider to be sound.

But in terms of the question in the title, to me, "moderate drinking" is where your drinking doesn't impact those around you, i.e. no one around you is disturbed and no one really notices that you sometimes drink. Regardless of whether you believe drinking should happen less, indisputably, people who let themselves get drunk such that it causes them to be obnoxious or possibly even violent should absolutely be criticized for their level of drinking.

Back to the advice though, I've found that even a single beer or glass of wine can make me feel tired the next day, because I don't enjoy the feeling of fatigue, I largely avoid it and probably have less than 12 units of alcohol a year. I do still somewhat often (maybe every few weeks) enjoy having 1 or 2 Heineken 0.0's.
> You can change the teacher:student ratio and still improve the number of educated. If you think this is false, then anything beyond 1:1 tutors is bad.

A here does not imply B. If it did then the natural conclusion is that the world only needs one singular educator.

In reality there's a sliding scale where more students to a given educator results in lower quality education, but a greater number of educated. The art is balancing these concerns.

People have already responded with their reasons. You can try to hammer on with further digressions from what the submission is about (not even wrong), complete with that inflamed/emotionally charged interpretation, but what’s the point in spilling more bytes on this.
Plenty of industries know about redundancy.

But it turns out, it doesn't matter how many redundant backup diesel generators you've got if a 45-foot wave comes along and they're all left underwater.
Lol, what? No, we should constantly be learning and applying in our life. There's no reason to purposefully waste time.
And this is different from WP Engine modifying Wordpress exactly how?
Same.

I stopped drinking 4 years ago and the only thing that changed is I had to start learning social skills from zero in my mid 30s again.

I don't have an issue to go out with friends who drink, it's just that I don't feel inclined to talk to people anymore.

The US has for the most part produced the best movies since... The beginning of movies I'd assume.

My point is that people's health has been rapidly deteriorating over the last 30-50 years especially. Your attempted explanation is essentially, "in every prior period, there was a different period-specific thing that was preventing these health outcomes."

It seems far, far more likely to me that right now is the aberration – in fact we know today is aberrant on several dimensions that are presumably related to obesity, so that's where we should look.

Big, system-wide changes like what we're experiencing are almost always both multicausal and overdetermined.

The causes here are:

1. Production of cheap, extremely palatable, ultra-high caloric density foods (mitigable). Note: This is not the same thing as saying "people used to be thin because they were starving." It is absolutely possible to feed a country amply and not yield the low price/great taste/horrible nutrition profile that dominates the American diet today.

2. Increase in sedentary time due to shift from physically intensive professions (not very solvable), car-centric urban planning (solvable), and the dominance of ass-in-chair leisure activities (probably mitigable)

3. The science is early on this but there's good reason to look further into endocrine-disruptive chemical poisoning (mitigable). We are finding these compounds absolutely everywhere we look and we should be very open to the possibility we are mass-poisoning people and damaging their metabolism: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10003192/

HN is not a forgiving place to have a public meltdown, as the Matt Mullenweg situation is evidence of.

I doubt you can stop yourself, but instead of replying to this, perhaps go take a break from the internet.
The memes were excellent promotion for Bing being the place where you find uncensored results.

“Split-face” would immediately return the horrible accident (don’t Google it, really - and yes, pun intended), “Scientists” would actually return non-editorialized scientists… Microsoft could have been farther and marketed Google as the colourful kindergarten that you give your children access to, whereas journalists and researchers would use Bing. But they folded.
It's an American thing, which traces to Bill Clinton's development of the factory farming industry when he was governor of Arkansas. The good old-fashioned eggs and chickens are still widely available at farmers markets, etc., but presumably not used for testing here. The point about cayenne being the only chile-based heat also depends on region - Cajuns, Creoles and New Mexicans would likely disagree. Edit: another factor is probably the dramatic decrease in the population of insects since 1970, which affects the composition of both the chicken and the egg
> it just doesn't seem likely

It is likely conditional on the price of compute dropping the way it has been.

If you can basically simulate a human brain on a $1000 machine, you don't really need to employ any AI researchers.

Of course, there has been some fear that the current models are a year away from FOOMing, but that does seem to be just the hype talking.

I don’t understand how this is a constitutional violation like you claim.
