My worry is that climate change is exponential in impact over time and has extremely high inertia. meaning, once it has been pushed far enough, the devastation continues to increase for decades despite any efforts humanity could put together.

Time will tell but I really worry what the next generations will have to deal with, I cannot find it in my heart to be optimistic about this. It will be extremely painful I feel and sometimes I have the impression the only way for our earth to get better is if humanity gets significantly worse, like back to middle age.
I like the idea of it, but the Nix people seem to have really screwed the pooch. On the social front we have tedious community discussions about whether it is OK to be funded by a defence contractor, and on the technical front the switch to new Nix commands and flakes has left the documentation in a horrible mess. I think if things had gone differently over the last 18 months we could've seen some really significant adoption, but I have no hope of that any more.
this has been a solved problem for... a long time, can't remember how long even.

Show HN: Unmoderate Hacker News Titles
This is a simple Tamperscript to optionally display the original title of Hacker News stories.

HN titles are sometimes moderated long after they appear on the front page, so that one either can't find a story they read, or read it twice. This helps check what the original title was.

Install is one click -- needs Tampermonkey to work of course.

What kind of thing do you have on your PC they’d care about?

That's because the sanctioned entities are individual Russian companies on the OFAC list, not Russian citizens generally. All of the initial media reporting (speculation, really) turned out to be wrong (because of deliberate non-transparency on the part of Torvalds, in his public statements).

I don't know but I think it's not just about the old games that aren't produced anymore. I think it could be about protecting profit in other areas. They may want to control the Overton window so that it doesn't become thinkable that the same thing could happen to other video games or media. If a library is able to buy a video game and loan it out for free online, then that could become a problem for some models. Is it possible to loan movies and TV series online in libraries now?

If you have the resources, then a maximalist IP agenda would be the most rational, to extract as many rights as possible because it creates wider moat for attackers to cross. You keep them busy fighting things that don't matter to you, so they stay far away from your core business interests.
Conversely when you drop domain don’t forget you might have accounts on emails or some DNS verification in services that you better explicitly discontinue before just dropping domain.
So your claim is that there’s no other open source fully decentralized exchange in the world, despite that being the goal and claim of innumerable crypto enthusiasts like yourself? And it’s all because of 3-letter-agencies, in a domain literally full of people who are building things to avoid them?

I mean, I wouldn’t be too surprised tbh. But also, why is everyone ignoring this obvious situation you present then?

No, its called applying the same argument and same standard to both parties. Your "Laws" are equally applied or not at all.
You’re missing my point. Take one of the articles described in that comment, titled “The Internal State of an LLM Knows When It's Lying”. It states “In this paper, we provide evidence that the LLM's internal state can be used to reveal the truthfulness of statements.” Both of these are untrue, for a number of reasons.

- An LLM knowing when it is lying is not the same thing as its internal state being able to “reveal the truthfulness of statements”. The LLM does not know when it is lying, because LLMs do not know things.

- It is incapable of lying, because lying requires possessing intent to lie. Stating untrue things is not the same as lying.

- As the paper states shortly afterwards, what it actually shows is “given a set of test sentences, of which half are true and half false, our trained classifier achieves an average of 71% to 83% accuracy”. That’s not the same thing as it being able to “reveal the truthfulness of statements”.

No intellectually honest person would claim that this finding means an LLM “knows when it is lying”.
Personally, I like a lot of things about NixOS.

Redeploying a machine has never been easier for me as all of my config is stored in a git repo in a few .nix files. I don't need to remember what I installed or configured somewhere in /etc five years ago, I can just look in the .nix file for that machine. Everything I configure or install is synced across my desktop and laptop through imports (unless specified), which makes the experience very seamless.

When something goes wrong e.g. after an upgrade, I just reboot and choose the previous generation from the boot menu. If I just want to try out a package, I can get a temporary shell where that package is available. If I don't need it after all, it just gets garbage collected.

When working on a project, I can use a dev shell where everything I need to build/test that project is isolated so I don't pollute my root namespace.

Another take on this: what do you expect the cutting edge of science to look like? Of course it's going to be "these things work, we're not quite sure why", once you know why they work it's no longer the cutting edge.

It might exist, but its software ecosystem sucks, which is the part Intel and AMD keep missing out.
Yeah, especially since the publishers have ceased to produce physical media completely.

We know the beautiful theory. Show me something easy to onboard and use. I've learned no less than 500 separate tech pieces in my life, Nix and any others will have to make it worth my while in the first 10 minutes.
This picked my interest as I am working on a Git product and using Cloudflare Workers for most of my back-end. I looked through the options, but the hard limit for Cloudflare workers and the fact that most interesting repos (that is companies you want to sell to) have repos in the Gbs means the platform is not fit for this.

I am ending up with AWS lambdas. Not only that solves the Wasm issue but you can have up to 10Gb of memory on a single instance. That is close to enough for most use cases. 100Mb? Not really.
Optical frequency combs are another one of those bits of magic. If you have the means, you can buy this optical comb frequency counter[1], which can measure the frequency of light to 14 digits of accuracy, so within 10 cycles per second!

> Do people really believe that "AI" products that use LLMs are capable enough to do things like control a computer, or write accurate code?

Of course. It's not a hypothetical question. Almost all of my code is written by Claude 3.5 Sonnet. It's much more robust and accurate than my regular code and I've been programming for 20 years.
Yes but they're not robot arms so it's not as fascinating. The length of the arm amplifies error so if you made a "mechanics and steppers" arm with the same positional accuracy as a printer, the motors would have to be much more precise or if you geared them down, the backlash extremely low like an industrial robot arm.
Yes, but does it suck billions or trillions? The market is saying that it's willing to throw the latter at the overall problem of AI training, so even if it did take a trillion dollars to fix AMD's software issues, that ought not be a significant hurdle either.
It is completely fine that NixOS is not reproducable for me. I personally switched(from arch) because my old setup was very finicky(eGPU + optimus on the go for iGPU) and i was sick of random updates bricking stuff. I'm becoming too old to enjoy spending an hour+ tinkering with stuff that suddenly broke. Now it is hard to imagine going back. I just enjoy that applying all my customizations is a single action.

But Linderud has a good point, and I think a community like HN is rightfully interested in busting myths like this. I didn't know how the hashes worked, I haven't needed to have a relationship to them. But now I do!

It's not just marketing: European AI Act impose several compliance obligations to corporations building AI system, including serious scientific scrutiny on the whole training process.

Such obligations are designed to mitigate the inherent risks that AI can pose to individuals and society.

The AI Act exempts open source from such scientific scrutiny because it's already transparent.

BUT if OSI defines black boxes as "open source", they open a loophole that will be exploited to harm people without being held accountable.

So it's not just marketing, but dangerous corporate capture.
I never understood why people care about dependencies that much.

Either I write the code myself, or I pull in a dependency.

Compile times I agree with though.
The problem with attempts to controll knowledge, aka limit it, is that it has a tendency to spiral. You limit information about this and that- some zealous partymonger goes astray and limits all the information related.
Next you have a famine and because of the involved parties guilt about the dysfunction, knowledge is limited even further.
You either have all the information, including the one about retardations going awry in the past. Or you do not and spiral down to become one of those figures in the history lectures doing bizar things, repeating past failures.
Looking both ways in this comment.
The whole narrative control thing of the left, which is completely blind to physical realities causing problems and makes everything a theater-society-production with a racist villian is almost as disgusting as the ahistoric "isolationism will solve our problems" of the right.
I can't think of any language where networking (or graphics for that matter) is built into the language.

At best you get support in the standard lib, but whether things like this should go into the stdlib or 3rd party libs is a decision that isn't set in stone forever, and probably doesn't even matter if it is easy to integrate 3rd party libs into Odin projects. AFAIK Odin has the concept of vendor libraries, which live somewhere between stdlib and 3rd party - so networking could go there).

Compared to Zig specifically, Odin has a couple of language features that might make it less pure from an academic language designers pov, but more convenient from the user's pov and only the last one matters for getting shit done. I wouldn't dismiss Odin only because it doesn't have features XYZ, because it does some other things very right compared to other languages.

Re IDE integration, google for "Odin language server".
They are imperative steps with aspirational idempotency, and specifically Ansible is painfully slow to boot. I've noticed that order often becomes necessary in practice, so I'm not sure if this imperative nature is avoidable.

If we run the Newton-Raphson algorithm on some input and it hasn’t run long enough to come up with a good enough answer yet, then we are uncertain about the answer. It is not the case that the algorithm is uncertain about the answer. It would make no sense to make any claims about the algorithm’s level of certainty, because an algorithm does not have the capacity to be certain.

> To use it, the wearer simply puts on the glasses while walking by people. The glasses then detect when somebody's face is in the frame. This photo is used to analyze the individual, and after a few seconds, their personal information appears on the user's phone.

I have something called prosopagnosia - face blindness: while I know what a face is, and can read faces for emotional signals with no problems, the cabling between the face recognition areas in my brain and my database of facts about that face is sub-optimal. Where others can look at someone and immediately know if they know that person and what interactions they've had in the past - that doesn't happen for me. Instead I have to rely on other signals - their voice, the way they walk, typical clothes for that person, etc - to get the connection between person and my memories of that person.

Having a pair of glasses that could take the face of a person in front of me and (reliably) let me know I know that person, what their name is and what relationship we have with each other would be really useful. But if it can't do the matching in less than a couple of seconds then it's not going to be helpful to me - people can get really upset if their friends, relations, neighbours, etc don't know who they are within a second of that first contact.

I don't like all the other AI information gathering stuff. I just want the name of the face in front of me.

Morality aside, there's about zero legal process behind it: it's just a unilateral power of the executive. Any sitting president can do this to any non-American entity they want.
The fix is called "legal system", or rather, also making it accessible for individuals and small businesses against the large mega corporations without risking getting bankrupt in case of losing. And companies that continuously lose in judgements get fined progressively until they establish enough support infrastructure to not be a burden on society.

Wikipedia looks like a fantastic resource, but it's not really a reliable source of information. Everyone can write things there, including people with biases and conflicting interests. Their rules about editing are really annoying and unfair, they don't care about facts.

I enjoy reading Wikipedia sometimes, but it's a broken system, a lot of truths missing in it's articles because of crap editors and political propaganda. Also it's admins are toxic and abuse their little power they have over every editor there.

Try editing some articles there, and you will see the dark side of Wikipedia.

Solid back end language to learn
Hello,I'm a CS student and on courses and in my free time (constantly) I'm learning JS and (a bit less lately) C#. Looking at the job offers near me, it seems that PHP is the piece in the stack that I lack if they don't require C#. I don't know if this is just my local area or PHP is (and still will be) very important language.I was thinking about learning another backend language and I can't decide between PHP or Rails.I wanted to learn Django or Java but it seems that there aren't any offers for that.I have still much time so I can learn anything.

And not being dependent on the platform linker was a massive undertaking in Zig... I don't think many languages actually implemented their own cross-platform linker.

But anyway, if you're in the Odin target audience on Windows you most likely have Visual Studio installed anyway. Also IIRC even Clang and Rust depend on the MSVC linker on Windows, Zig is really an "outlier" (in a good way) in that regard.

A very easy decision for some, depending on their own strength of conviction. Anybody knows that Harris is not running to retaliate against those who do not agree with every policy that her people can get her party to support, but Trump is and he makes it very clear that if elected he intends to do harm that Harris will not do. Bigly.

Absolutey rock hard disagree. I'm old enough to remember when twitter and facebook used to both have a chronological feed without algorithmic sorting. Facebook (trash today of course) was an incredibly useful way to find out what your friends were doing on a given day by just reading the chronological feed. You could also trivially see which events were going on in your locality and which friends were attending. At the same time (2005 - 2012) Twitter was an incredible resource for real time news and reactions to what was happening. Without clickbait, commercial promotion or flame (culture) wars. The web pre-agorithm was gradually being subsumed by feed readers like Google Reader, where you'd browse longform articles and blog posts from people you'd found or been recommended by friends. There was no shortage of content. What was absent was 'brainrot', engagement bait, and all the vapid fluff that the 'algorithms' (tweaked entirely and completely to maximise engagement and advertising consumption - not to your preference) provide.
