Can it be that IPv4 price now leveled off because big players are getting ready to switch to IPv6 any time and not buying up anything that is available?

If GooG/FB/Amazon force IPv6 how long will it take for ISPs to switch? I think in one week where some people cannot reach GooG/FB and any ISP that was dragging his feet has implemented IPv6 by the end of the week.

I expect IPv6 adoption will blow up any time now as past performance is not indication of future changes ;) because there is much more required on the server side than it was ever before. ISP and home use could live with NAT but servers not really even if you can handle bunch of services on a single IP address, there is just limited traffic you can squeeze onto a single server.

I'm a bit more cynical and see his turn as a business move. He has considerate market captured, so he went full wackjob to capture that market.

Apparently, this doesn't reflect reality and he actually went crazy because one of his kids is trans. I have no idea because I don't know him.
This is what we really need AI regulation for. The accuracy rates should be advertised in a standard format like a nutritional label. People purchasing the systems on public dollars should be required to define a good plan for false positives and negatives that handles the expected rates based on the advertised precision and recall.
My version added "and yes, to our listeners... hi mom!"

Very cute and kind of impressive.
I think this is an important perspective. That is, think about why the recruiter is asking and focus on how you address those concerns. With the experience you have now, you should be well placed to ask questions early to find the right fit for the long run. (Or at least that’s an angle I’d consider!)
Correct. A single stall is a single stall.
IPv6 had this cool idea that each subscriber would get a /64, and devices within the subscriber's network would be assigned /128s with the last 64 bits matching their MAC addresses.

Except it turns out that most organizations see no need to give internal devices globally routable IP addresses, much less expose their MAC addresses. If anything, it's a vulnerability, not a feature.

On the other hand, going too far along with your idea would look like a dystopian future where everyone is corralled into one corporate walled garden or another. So it's understandable that there's a strong gut reaction against it. Fortunately, there are enough IPv4 addresses to support both corporate walled gardens and a reasonable number of independent operators.
Actually some of us have been in the industry for more than 22 months.
The idea is that it'll be open source, I have a rough design doc here:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qKgIjUTef-I-BLWjn4sEIbYo...

I'll write up a more detailed article on it, though, it'll be good to at least have the doc public somewhere.
> kill off the current AI powered solution, because they have no way of explaining

That's not correct. Some solution look at perplexity for specific models, some will look at ngram frequencies, and similar approaches. Almost all of those can produce a heatmap of "what looks suspicious". I wouldn't expect any of the detection systems to be like black boxes relying on LLM over the whole text.

... which does not stop them from disrupting production and stealing your data. Your defenses are at the wrong place.
Unlike a device with positive temperature coefficient, the NTC thermistors (negative temperature coefficient) can be used by themselves as active devices that provide a negative resistance, which can be used to make amplifiers and oscillators, exactly like with any other diodes with negative resistance, e.g. tunnel diodes, IMPATT diodes, Gunn diodes, Shockley diodes, diacs and so on.

Nevertheless, I do not think that anyone has ever made amplifiers or oscillators with thermistors, because unlike the diodes where the negative resistance has electrical causes, the inertia of the heat transfer in thermistors makes the achievable upper limit for the amplified frequencies very low, typically under 1 Hz.

A device with positive temperature coefficient could be used as an amplifier or as a switch (like a relay) only together with a separate heater, as you say.
So you switched a company 3 times in the last 2 years and now you’re trying to do it again? That gives roughly 8 months per company. So you onboarded yourself, worked a bit and started sending the CVs again?

That sounds like a huge loss for the employer.

> Being clear that it wasn't a positive sign to them. Is it really that strange, or were they maybe used to bigger company culture and expectations?

The question they’re asking themselves: What is the chance that you’ll be staying with them at least 3 years.

Based on your CV: close to zero.
I don't think you're getting the main point. The only application that this physical device would run is ChatGPT (or some successor). You won't be able to install other apps on it like a normal OS. Everything you do is inside this LLM.

Underneath, it can be Linux, BSD, Unix, or nothing at all, whatever. It doesn't matter. That's not important.

OS was just a convenient phrase to describe this idea.
On some exams in our university 20y ago, we were allowed to use any literature or lecture notes to answer the questions. The thing is, it was a high level abstract algebra. If you don't understand the subject, no amount of literature would help you to answer the questions correctly (unless you find the exact or a very similar question).

I believe it's still true today, but with future AI systems even highly abstract math is under the danger.
Malicious compliance at its best :)
In 2020 I had a heated debate with a fellow student and course assistant over the appropriate standard of evidence for the academic honesty judicial process of the university. They were adamant that reducing the standard of evidence while also providing less severe penalties for minor offenses would be an improvement. If only I’d had this kafkaesque example to argue my point.

I’m selfishly so glad I dodged this particular bullet in my studies.
Damn, looks like you beat NotebookLM by a year and a half!

Is the code for this available? I'm particularly curious how you did the multiple speakers and voices.

NotebookLM has the issue that they keep switching sides, like one will be the student and the other the teacher on a subject, but then they'll suddenly switch in a way that makes no sense.
Usually people resort to name calling to divert attention for their lack of sound arguments....
> make it an optional chance to get feedback from lecturers.

My sense is that if writing was entirely optional, it would be too easy for students to let it slide; having 10% count toward your grade is a good "nudge" to get honest students to actually do the work. I'd just give a little admonition at the beginning saying that I'm not going to bother checking if you use LLMs, but if you do you're an idiot, because you'll be completely unprepared for the hand-written essay you have to compose yourself in the exams.
I think the moral of the story is that cars may or may not turn their blinkers on. If they do, the self-driving should catch that just as easily and expect the car to switch lanes (with extreme caution).
> The rather bizarre economics of financing 3G infrastructure meant that dual stack infrastructure in a 3G platform was impractical, so IPv4 was used to support the first wave of mobile services.

What's he referring to here?
It is enough for Amazon/Google/FB/Netflix - they start to choke on IPv4 and they also don't want to pay up insane amounts for holding IPv4 ranges. When they switch to IPv6 they have more cheaper addressing. Once they force it down by making faster services via IPv6 all the ISPs will follow right away because everyone will want to have their Netflix/YT streams load faster.
Or of racism. There was a thing during the pandemic where automated proctoring tools couldn't cope with people of darker skin than they were trained on; I imagine the first properly verified and scientifically valid examples of AI-detection racism will be found soon.
My hunch is that consciousness will come to be described in terms of information processing systems, rather than the biological substrate on which they run. Systems with certain properties - possibly including a sufficiently complex model of the environment, model of the self, and a continuously updating internal narrative - may be said to possess a level of consciousness. I'm not a biologist and I appreciate that the above is somewhat vague, but I wouldn't say that sperm or egg cells have the above.
It is what I see in practice in Eastern Europe. They signal as they are shifting lanes. Even if they turn the blinker on and then start moving 1 second later, it could be considered the same thing as 1 second is negligible.

Thus "the indicator shows that you ARE moving." is correct, at least in practice.
I also though rewrites of JS projects were only in part motivated by perf gain. Sure they were the most advertised benefits of the rewritten tools, as that communicates a benefit for the users of those tools.

> I find Rust allows me to feel far, far more confident in tooling specifically because of its type system.

Usually the JS projects become really hard to work on the growing up. Good JS needs a lot of discipline on the team of devs working on it: it get messy easily and refactoring becomes very hard. Type systems help with that. TypeScript helps, but only so much... Going with a languages that both has a sound type system (like Rust) and allows lots of perf improvements (like Rust) becomes an attractive option.

as to situations: when training mammals, sometimes "shaping" works better: introducing novelty little by little ("salami slicing"); sometimes "flooding" works better: presenting a novel situation all at once ("ripping off the band-aid"). unf I don't have any* theory for it; it's more gut feel, and I've noticed my wife succeeds with flooding in situations where I am certain I'd have to proceed by shaping to have any hope.

Probability is not an acceptable way to determine a student's future. They may have learned from the AI and remember some of the exact phrasing, and learned writing/language cues from it as well.
What? You can still connect to worldwide IPv6 endpoints in China -- some endpoints are censored, just the same as how the IPv4 firewall is accomplished.

You are describing as if the IPv6 network within China is completely blocked off from the wider network. It's not.

A side effect of C not having a price tag associated with it, anyone with UNIX source tapes got a C compiler for free, until commercial UNIX became a thing, and splitted into user/developer SKUs, and thus GCC largely ignored until then became a thing worth supporting.
Ask HN: Why TV UI/UX is still bad?
Why are TV interfaces so clunky and difficult to operate? Why did we just copy the UI from Android smartphones directly onto televisions?

I have older parents, and they struggle to navigate around. Forget typing—smart TVs definitely need a UX overhaul.
I think the importance of parallelism has been overlooked by the OP and most commenters here. Even laptops these days have at least 8 cores; a good scalable parallel implementation of a tool will crush the performance of any single-threaded implementation. JS is not a great language for writing scalable parallel code. Rust is. Not only do Rust and its ecosystem (e.g. Rayon) make a lot of parallel idioms easy, Rust's thread safety guarantees let you write shared-memory code without creating a maintenance nightmare. In JS you can't write such code at all.

So yes, you can do clever tricks with ArrayBuffers, and the JS VMs will do incredibly clever optimizations for you, but as long as your code is running on one core you cannot be competitive. (Unless your problem is inherently serial, but very few "tool"-type problems are.)

Also, the "scoop" for the following book is garbled: https://nextread.ai/book/stellar-interiors-GI3qBwAAQBAJ

As I mentioned in my other comment, 1 second is negligible, I would even dare to say that 3 seconds, is, too. For a computer it should not be, however.
Someone here at HN made a great observation about this. The problem with neural networks and their generated output is that they are programs, running on the computers. We have been training humans for more than three decade that computers are producing precise, correct and reproducible outputs. And now these NN corporations have created a random symbol generators, and they actively hide the fact that there is programmed randomness in their programs.

There was recent article about yet another generated text in the US court, this time without malicious intent (it seems). The article boils down to the fact that the plaintiff asked neural network to do a historical financial calculation of property cost and immediately trusted it, "because computers". Computers are always correct, NNs run on computers, hence they are always correct :) . Soon this mentality will be in every household on the planet. We will be remembering days of media dishonesty and propaganda with fondness, at least previously we kinda could discern if the source was intentionally lying.
Stop doing drugs.

What I find disquieting about this is not that AI assistants cause this issue, but how we, as a society, are forced to react to it.

Imagine two scenarios: five years ago somebody saw this coming, and they thought we should legislate a certain mechanism to prevent students from using AI assistants to cheat. Would we have done it back then? The answer is "no", since the problem was nebulous and we deal with situations like this after they come up, not before.

Now imagine a second scenario: somebody today tells you that AIs are on their way to own and supplant our societies. They are already functionally equivalent to regular human beings in many axes, and are only gonna get better at that. And thus, we should bolster our social apparatus with pro-human shielding... What do you say, should we deal with this problem after it comes up?
Looks like that mentality is exactly what caused them to lose out to SpaceX. They thought they were the monopoly and now find themselves out of the picture.

Same mentality with their civil aviation business. Their failure to invest in the core of the company (making great planes) has led to spectacular - and deadly - failure.

The main reason they are still an important player in civil aviation is because Airbus can't make planes fast enough.

And you’re assuming they do. It’s safe to assume at least one person reading the comment won’t know about the feature, the information is useful to more than that poster.

You’re also assuming I don’t understand that sentiment. That has nothing to do with my original post. I don’t care what you use, do whatever makes you happiest. I was merely offering an alternative that would still satisfy what I perceived to be the original point (command piping left to right) to share knowledge, I was in no way criticising their method or saying they shouldn’t use it.

This is a useless conversation.
Exactly. You may learn its patterns, but a software update could fuck it all up in a zillion different ways.
Reminds me of the trivia given by the instructor when we had a training on "C++ STL" -- guess which method will be called! (Yes, bringing in classes and virtual functions makes it extra fun)

Having learned Go and Rust in the last two years, it occurs to me that -- if this can be made into a trivia, and considering all the things in C++ like friend class, nested class, public/protected/private inheritance matrix and all the "possibilities" out there, it seems this language is seriously f*cked up.
> There's no obvious way to link the experience with the mechanism that generates it

I agree that it's not obvious. I suppose where I disagree with anti-physicalists is that I think it can conceivably be resolved by reference to physical facts. I can imagine reading a computer program that simulates the human brain and thinking "ah yes, that captures everything about what I feel". Whereas I don't think the anti-physicalists will ever accept such a possibility.
Both books I tried errored.
>Fundamental questions like 'why do we work', 'what do we need' and 'what do we want' will be necessarily brought to the fore.

All the low paid, physically laborious work is not affected by AI, so there will be plenty of work, especially with aging populations around the world.

The question is will it be worth doing (can the recipients of the work pay enough) without being able to provide the dream of being able to obtain a desk job for one’s self or their children.
> Plus it is a distraction from their business. They will instead sell to others who offer that service.

Possibly. However you could also see the Uber type market as reducing the need for people to buy cars - threatening their core business, as well as reducing the number of their potential customers and again shifting the power away from them.
I agree with you, but I would go further and turn the tables. An AI should simply not be allowed to evaluate people, in any context whatsoever. For the simple reason that it has been proven not to work (and will also never).

Anyone interested to learn more about it, I recommend the recent book "AI Snake Oil" from Arvind Narayanan and Sayash Kapoor [1]. It is a critical but nuanced book and helps to see the whole AI hype a little more clearly.

> People will be able to buy those used GPUs cheap and run small local LLMs perhaps.

Maybe; I find it unlikely though, because unlike CPUs, there's a large difference in compute/watt in subsequent generations of GPUs.[1]

I would imagine that, from an economics PoV, the payback for using a newer generation GPU over a previous generation GPU in terms of energy usage is going to be on the order of months, not years, so anyone needing compute for more than a month or two would save money by buying a new one at knockdown prices (because the market collapsed) than by getting old ones for free (because the market collapsed).

[1] Or maybe I am wrong about this - maybe each new generation is only slightly better than the previous one

This shouldn't be a downvote or flag. It's a serious problem, especially at elite institutions, and especially at MIT and Stanford.

It's also not out-of-line with what credible sources observe:

https://blogs.bmj.com/bmj/2021/07/05/time-to-assume-that-hea...

I'm affiliated with MIT, and have been for the vast majority of my life, including at points in fairly senior roles. If you shut people out pointing problems, it will never get better.

There's an incredible urge to defend elite academic institutions, but it's not in the interest of those institutions. Remember your civics class (patriots criticize their government institutions).

The only way I see this fixed involves a period where MIT is viewed like a used car salesman in the public eye for at least enough years to cause enough pain to lead to reform. The endowment is big enough it'll do fine in the end. If it keeps sliding to fraud, it won't.
“principles like bias for action, disagree and commit are pretty effective and cool.”

It reminds me a lot of the kind of flow you get in mathematics sometimes. I guess theorem prover languages may be keen to adopt it.

I'd be less keen in a language with side effects, unless the language has a way to restrict it to pure functions

That's a tricky one. Is it limited to connected software, or the software in my Christmas lights?
I think you're far more optimistic than I am.

I think that we'll see fundamental changes, but it will be based on cheaper consumer goods because all of the back end white collar labor that adds costs to them will be (for all intents and purposes) free.

But we will see the absolute destruction of the middle class. This will be the death blow. The work week will change, but only because even more people will work multiple part time jobs. We'll think about what we need, but only because we'll have cheap consumer goods, but no ability to prepare for the future.

I think it's bleak. Source: most of human history. We're not, as a species, naturally altruistic. We're competitive and selfish.
