Exact same experience, YouTube recommendations (in incognito without being logged in!) usually give me stuff related to the video in watching.

However when they don't, it's invariably to push some alt-right slop down my throat. Video is about a comedian? Suggestion "feminist woke takedown compilation". Video about news? Suggestion "$european_far_right_party's channel says gypsies are subhuman". Video about economics? Suggestion is Jordan Peterson ranting about something. And so on and so on. It's pretty tiring.

This is clear but in most cases I just don't care if it is a promise. If I need more control it is possible, but for the 99% cases I find it annoying writing await. This is also slowing down, because you need to know or look it up if the call returns a promise.

Ask HN: Favourite Prompts for Adding Personality to Assistants
I'm working on making a conversational AI assistant feel more engaging and personable, and I'd love to know what kind of prompts you use (or have seen used) to add personality, character, or warmth to virtual assistants.

Whether it’s for fun or practical use cases, I’m looking for creative ideas that make an AI more relatable, like specific phrases, unique speaking styles, or interesting backstories.

Flawed point if it is used to justify the random speciation of evolution.

If they can't type out shakespeare, how can evolution randomly yet correctly type out billions of base sequences of dna in just a cple mil yrs?

There's no way any software developer needs 4 days to understand what it does.

Moreover Claude can explain the functions used very clearly (if you're too lazy to jump to definition in your editor)

I am about 70% through my first paid month with Cursor.

I should say I have budgeted that I am going to pay $20 for something AI right now no matter what.

Cursor is worth it, but I should have had an exact project in mind when I subscribed. I don't think I am going to get my money's worth completely this month because of how generous Claude's free tier is. I do like just asking the web ui random things sometimes.

At one point a few weeks back I did have overlap with o1, Cursor paid and Claude free tier all at the same time. I know I am not subscribing again to chatGPT until the non-preview o1 is out.

I do like the Cursor UI but there is something about copy/paste with the chatbot that I also like in conjunction with non-AI VScode or jupyter. Like the difference between oil paints and pastels. Both probably have their place in the tool belt.
seL4 is far more rigorous that the others. The problem today is a widespread lack of understanding of software engineering approaches and tools for formal verification of source model verification, compiler toolchains, and binaries, and also a lack of diligence and effort in implementing rigorous practices.

It's not mentioned in this article but it seems Michael Lynch's codefendant in the HP trial Stephen Chamberlain died a few days earlier - https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/article/2024/sep/05/mike.... Seems to be a genuine coincidence though.
But how does that change the calculation in the grandposter's reply? You can still do it yourself if you want, or you can hire the automated contractor if you don't have the time or effort.
I said zero things about the GP.

Also it's not personal preference. If you're an executive you need to know how to write properly. Execs rely on oral communication to use their charisma points on you, when you read the plans many times they have nothing to do with what was said or it's much simpler. Same with politicians.

There is an admin that has been erasing or downplaying any criticism on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_China_Study for over a decade. I don't know why some people bother.
From the look of the examples they use at least sites like TripAdvisor, which I'd assume would like to have people go to their site.

For services like rail companies, restaurants and so on, I can see them not being bothered, because they make their money offline. Blogs, and pure content sites might not be to happy about their content being used to prop up OpenAIs business, while getting nothing in return. If anything it seems like OpenAI is actively trying to get sued.

The whole interface and functionality seems really nice and a clear improvement for the users, for certain types of queries at least. It assumes that OpenAI has made their LLM stop lying, and that they can get the required data legally, but it doesn't seem like anyone cares about those details.
It isn’t a sieve, it’s trial division. For example, a sieve skips powers of primes but this regex tests them all.
There are a finite number of names, and an even smaller number of good names. But apparently an infinite number of hacker news posters who comment on every new project to complain that the name has been used before for something else.

And even the fact that this is a fork of an earlier project and the name comes from that doesn't stop it!

Yeah, that is the very first thing he did when he showed his python code.

From the original article on the 34x34x34 "record":

> It took about 1 year, and 1000 work hours to make the cube.

Imagine doing all that work, all the planning, designing, printing, assembly, and feeling the title will be yours soon, knowing the record has stood unbroken for 7 years, confident you're the only person even trying...

... And then 4 weeks before you finish a guy appears on YouTube with his 49x49x49...

Ooof.
Of course it also works with void*.
As far as I'm aware, it's the development of Kestrel which pushed the introduction of ref/Span etc. Due to it Kestrel has seen quite a large speedup, it being one of the fastest HTTP servers nowadays. ref/Span allowed them to make the core almost allocation free, together with using vectorized operations (SIMD ) for parsing the request.
Your comments imply that you derive self-worth from external validations, i.e, my effort has no worth if someone else can do better.

I think this is an unhealthy world view. I've certainly learned thus after years of therapy. Others derive self-worth from self-validation.

We'll never be fast at math as calculators, yet their exist people who enjoy doing head-math. Doing a jigsaw puzzle has no inherent worth, yet people love doing so. Those people exist so it's a good idea to try to understand their perspective.

Not everyone's idea of fun is "Creating value for others"

Guns are great for hunting, but people still learn archery, because it's fun to shoot an arrow.

Another aspect is human connection: I would prefer eating an average meal made by someone close, rather than an amazing meal made by machine. Machines can't add the special ingredient of love :)

I would love to learn blacksmithing, for the sole reason that forging a sword from an iron/steel ingot is so fucking metal and awesome.
> the hypothetical scenario, better done by robots

How come? How is “going to a book club” going to be “better done by robots”? It is not an activity where there is an objective quality metric. If you enjoyed reading the book, and then enjoyed talking about the book, and had a good time then you did the book club right. Even if we have a robot which reads the book faster, extracts deeper meanings from it, and has a more engaging conversation about it you can still enjoy the act of doing it yourself.

Same with sailing. It is not necessarily the most efficient, fastest, or optimal way to get from here to there. It is on the other hand a challenge to your mind and body and that gives you satisfaction as you do it. Even if robots are faster, better equiped, or safer sailors they are not you. Only you yourself can can create the experience of sailing by yourself.

I do hobby jewelry. I design my pieces and then cast them, polish them, and gift them to friends. I don’t do it because it is cheaper than buying jewelry (it is very much not). I don’t do it because I’m better at it than others. (Very much not.) I do it because i enjoy the long walks while I’m thinking about a new design. I enjoy the challenge of figuring out how I can make a certain piece. Then i enjoy fidgeting with it until it casts just perfect. Then i enjoy polishing it, patinating it, polishing again, engraving, attaching gems. And finally I enjoy very much putting it in a neat little box and then meeting with a friend and gifting it to them. I also enjoy telling the story of how each piece was made, what things worked and what didn’t. It is a bucket of fun! But here is the thing. Even if robots were obviously better at it than me, i wouldn’t care. Wouldn’t change my enjoyment even a bit. How do i know? Because there are already right today othere who are better at it than I will ever be. Professional foundries make jewelry faster and cheaper I can ever hope to. Amazing and legendary jewellers design designs i could never dream of. Excelent crafters share their stories better than I could. So like why am I doing it? Because i enjoy doing it!

> Most people don’t ascribe any deeply satisfying meaning to mere personal enjoyment

I recommend you work on that. That is all I can say.
correctly is doing a lot of heavy lifting there, and the selection process in evolution is not random.
Should be good for cooking recipes then.
Good, the US is going serious about EUV tooling (If I understood well). This would be for the american block.

In the EU block, there is ASML.

Now, the asian block should have its own, but I don't know how if china should not R&D its own and asian democraties should stick to the US and EU blocks.

And RISC-V ISA could make a good interop glue for all of them.

But the more I look at it, the more I think the world is getting divided in roughly 2, so maybe the world would need only 2 centers of EUV tooling (or ultra complex tools for state of the art chips): one for the finance dictatorship block ("democraties",EU,US,etc), and one for the harder classic (including religious) dictatorship block (china,russia,etc)
Now we can use an AI chatbot to get an AI summary of articles written by AI, the future is amazing!!!

Their main example is exactly what's wrong with tourism and why everyone does the exact same things in the exact same places, it's the final stage of consumerism, you consume cities like you consume fast food or netflix shows.

You want to have a nice time on the amalfi coast ? Get there, leave your phone at the hotel and walk, explore things by yourself, try food by yourself, don't be a tool
it seems absolutely wonderful for searches that require multiple steps. for example “i want chinese food near me that will be open tomorrow, takes reservations, and has lo mein and will work for my group of two. i want as close as possible if i can but also let me know what reviews say”

my search skills are good but either way that requires 3+ searches and visiting the menu of each restaurant and checking their hours and reservation. remains to be seen if chatgpt search is consistently good at this though
I'm seeing the trillions in additional productivity argument more often here, especially when trying to defend their monopolistic tendencies. What I've never seen are raw numbers backing this.
I see this argument in HN a lot, so I checked my search history (googled "search history") it seems I use it ~10-20 times a day, looked at individual searches e.g. last week, and except a few queries, I have found what I was looking at.

Aside from the fact this is japan, where there is no fair use, the men were "posting articles to a website as part of a conspiracy to unfairly generate advertising revenue."
That claim as you have stated it (I haven't seen the original words) is clearly trivially absurd and void: eg I will be continuing to develop and maintain my own code well beyond then at all sorts of levels from data gathering and system scripts up to my research modelling. He is someone who clearly benefits from mantaining hype. If he made the claim as you state then jail time may await him. Else perphaps the message was more nuanced and you are not reasoning carefully enough. Elsewhere on this story you seem to be making black and white statements when things are just not like that in practice.

The fact that the phone manufacturer has a more privileged access than the owner of the phone is absolute insanity.
Underrated point, maybe it's aluminum unibody or more stable OS, but in my experience average MBP lifetime is meaningfully higher compared to a windows machine. My longest lasting windows machine was T400 Thinkpad which lasted 5 years before Core 2 Duo architecture stopped being able to keep up. It got replaced with HP Envy with great specs but made out of plastic which barely lasted 1.5 years before screen fell off (literally). Replaced with 17" 2014 MBP which is still alive after SSD replacement.

Since bringing modern OpenGL and Vulkan onto Apple Silicon is impossible without an emulation layer anyway, could, theoretically, a native Metal API for Linux be created? Or is Metal too ingrained in macOS SDKs? MoltenVK is attempting to solve the same issues Alyssa was talking about in her talk [1, the last comment on the issue is hers]

Hinton (who's the only person on the list in your post who could really qualify as an expert here) has already made some glaringly wrong predictions about AI progress, such as the prediction that radiologists would be obsolete by now.

No-one can predict the future. Experts have a slightly better track record than tea leaves – but only slightly. There are experts in $DISCIPLINE, but there are no experts on "the future of $DISCIPLINE".
Did you have previous experience when you became self-employed? I'm strongly considering this but I feel that I haven't had enough experience in the 9-5s. I also really need steady income in the near future to pay off loans.

> I used Orgmode for years, but I think fundamentally tieing your markup to your editor is kind of a bad sign... I'd be curious to hear counterarguments though.

For better or worse, Org Mode is a feature-rich application, and org mode format is markup tied to that application. Using it as general-purpose markup is kind of a nice side effect of it being plaintext, and that even the portable subset is more feature-rich than most markup alternatives.

For full compatibility, you'd have to port Org Mode to different editors, in the same way you'd port a native app between OS-es. Org Mode is very much an application that's making full use of its platform's specific features and APIs, except here the platform isn't Windows/Win32 API, but Emacs/Elisp.

I guess people's perception becomes extremely skewed when they are disappointed with something. After this you give them examples and they swiftly move the goal post.
I don't think that this is the most pure running format. I don't know what that would be, never having aimed at purity in running--maybe it's kids playing tag.

Financially, though, this doesn't sound that bad. One must go through quite a few pairs of shoes every year, and there's the cost of travel to such competitions. Plenty of people like to ski, and I can imagine they drop a lot more money on that.

There is nothing stopping you, technically or legally, from replacing the OS on a Mac. Apple went out of their way to make it possible (compared to devices with Qualcomm chips, for example) and the platform is reasonably compatible with PC.
Oracle is a thing because for the first several years of their existence they lost customer data on the regular, so the IBM DB people laughed at and ignored them.

Like a lot of people, I got fed up of the tech calls from relatives.

I put mother on Mint years ago. An old Toshiba laptop which she uses to read papers and play mahjongg. It ended up developing a hardware fault so I donated an iMac my SO no longer had a use for. Putting Mint on it was just a small mess around. Copied her home directory over, installed a short list of forced installed programs, and she was happy again.

Same story with my uncle. Tried to get my sister on Linux but her rotten employer insists on Windows software, and she is so untechnical that she stamps her feet at trying to use alternatives. She got a ThinkPad and a warning that "I do not use Windows, so you're on your own".

I had the honour of attending my (ex) step son's graduation a few years ago. Computer related degree, with honours and colours, very sharp young man. He thanked me for building him his first computer and attributed the degree to me putting Windows on it for his Lego games, but also dual boot Linux. I never pressured him to boot into Linux, but that horse wandered over and drunk deeply at some point. I told him it wasn't me; I just gave him a tool, and he decided to learn how to use it.

Linux has been my primary OS for a very long time. Every story on here or Slashdot where something terrible happens to it, or they try to put adverts in, program shops, take away more advanced functionality, make it harder to use, lock off settings people use; I just silently thank Linus for devoting his life and stress levels to giving us a very viable alternative.

That's not to say I haven't pulled my hair out at times. Kernel patches, out of tree modules, scripting, compatibility with MSFT formats, forks of major projects, drivers which all of a sudden require a version downgrade to carry on working (currently wpa_supplicant on Arch is in my IgnorePkg section on a MacBook Pro) and other annoyances are the reasons I sympathise with the people who say it's too hard to use and takes too long to make work on their setup.

Canonical did the world a favour I didn't think would turn out so well; it got a lot of noobs asking questions (obvious or otherwise) to fill the Interwebs with answers which make it a lot easier than the old days to fix an issue you find.

The year of Linux on the desktop is maybe going to happen, maybe not. But the number of people who have tried it, or even heard of it is growing. Working with the public for decades I've had the opportunity to ask random people about it and more than ever they don't see it as an esoteric and eldritch hacker OS, just an alternative.

Not everyone has US $2,350 handy. Not everyone has the time and money to visit the U.S. Consulate for the second visit. Thus it is not true that 'you can always rescind your citizenship'.

Also, your 'no intentions of returning to live in the US' is incomplete. Some US citizens have never lived in the US, do not want to be US citizens, but are so because one of their parents was a US citizen.
