LLMs are stateless and they do not remember the past (as in they don't have a database), making the training data a non-issue here. Therefore, the claims made here in this paper are not possible because the simulation would require each agent to have a memory context larger than any available LLM's context window. The claims made here by the original poster are patently false.

The ideas here are not supported by any kind of validated understanding of the limitations of language models. I want to be clear -- the kind of AI that is being purported to be used in the paper is something that has been in video games for over 2 decades, which is akin to Starcraft or Diablo's NPCs.

The key issue is that this is a intentional false claim that can certainly damage mainstream understanding of LLM safety and what is possible at the current state of the art.

Agentic systems are not well-suited to achieve any of the things that are proposed in the paper, and Generative AI does not enable these kinds of advancements.
Show HN: IsItElon – Protect Your Loved Ones from Scammers on X
I built this simple webpage to help prevent my aging mother from falling victim to scammers on X (formerly Twitter). She believed she was talking to Elon Musk, and despite numerous attempts to explain the situation, she wouldn't listen. Scammers posing as Elon convinced her that they were her boyfriend, and even tried to get her to send Bitcoin or buy gift cards.

This tool allows users to check if an X account really belongs to Elon Musk. It only recognizes the official @elonmusk handle, helping dispel any misconceptions about imposters using different accounts.

This little verifier finally convinced my mother. It might help protect your loved ones too—especially those who might not be as familiar with online scams. Feel free to use it if someone you care about is vulnerable to these kinds of tactics.
Cartoon from 1930 but just as relevant today ~ https://x.com/Biz_Ukraine_Mag/status/1851955766585950476#m
Avoiding electrolytic caps is a good start for sure. There are plenty of boards out there without them.

Running CPUs and boards at lower power settings can also help. Thermal cycling is the enemy of longevity. Being able to control CPU frequency will be helpful.

Many power supplies have electrolytic caps in them as well. If you can stick to a standard that’s easy to find then there is a good chance you can just salvage an existing power supply that has managed to survive.

Some cheaper examples to consider would be raspberrypi boards with usb-c power. Don’t run them at full speed to reduce long-term thermal effects. About a decade ago I would have suggested Intel Atom based systems for similar reasons.

Server hardware is often made to a better spec for longevity. I miss old sparc hardware; I feel like those machines could last forever.

Today, arm based systems are probably a good bet since you can find lots of software for them and they run cooler than (say) x86 variants of similar caliber.

Storage is the next Achilles heel to consider. Cheap flash will die sooner rather than later. I’m not up on the best tech in this space anymore though so somebody else might chime in here.

Finally, displays can be pretty fragile. Phone displays actually come to mind as a decently ruggedized technology. Bigger displays are probably more prone to damage long-term so, small and durable is probably valuable here.

I’ll probably catch flak for this but… a smartphone is actually a pretty decent computer that can last a very long time. If you can run arbitrary software on it and keep it in one place instead of in your pocket, it could be a good get. The issue I know of here is the battery; if it gets too weak then some phones may not be able to power up completely even with a power supply attached.
I really think those curbside janky decks of OSB are hedious.

They are bad in many ways (IMO):
For the business: they block the view of the front of the restaurant. All that money they put into interior design, signage, window lettering, lights. Can’t really see it if walking on the opposite sidewalk or from afar. All I see is the matte black plywood and OSB shack blocking it all.

As a driver: sometimes these things are near a corner and you can’t see what’s coming before you turn because this behemoth blocks everything.

Uber eats cars scooters and bicycles can’t really park there so they double park slightly past it and it’s all a mess.

As a patron, they are never that great. Dark, uneven, always slightly tilted because the road crown makes it so, cramped and just overall blegh. It’s like eating in the subway. No view of anything because they are built like shit.
Also you’re wayyy to close to cars, I much prefer to be on the sidewalk.

Let’s bring back just tables right outside of the restaurant on the sidewalk, maybe little heaters, see what’s happening around, isn’t that the beauty of outdoor sitting? Being able to see the outdoors?
Florida and Tennessee recently changed rules to allow foreign doctors to be licensed more easily.
This sounds like a good way to think about some disabilities (specific recognised ways of "not being normal") and very misleading and unproductive for other disabilities.

A blind person can't participate in society to the same degree that a sighted person could, but the same is true of the entire world. We can (and arguably should) make their life easier by changing society, but unless you fix the root problem, they'll forever lack visual experiences.

From another angle, life without a human society still has its challenges. Adding a society removes some and adds new ones. Some people only have problems with these new challenges, some struggle with the old as well. These two scenarios should be distinguished, perhaps by applying the "social" and "medical" models appropriately.
In Norway, the phone book hasn't been published since 2012. What are you referring to?
That reminds me of how things I considered mandatory previously (carrying small notebook + pen). They weren't mandatory, and most people won't do the manual thing. Don't get me wrong, you'd keep important addresses, say, your grandma out of town. And of course, professionally. But by and large, people just expected you to be in the phone book and vice versa. It also meant calling someone you knew without explicitly being given their number wasn't a faux pas. Now that I think about it, a lot of things were easier. Sigh
> The author should watch Citizen Kane and learn a thing or two.

I've watched Citizen Kane, and I'm unclear about what you think the author should learn from it. Could you please explain?
> PostgreSQL does not have the concept of in-memory tables.

Is that relevant though? Some benchmarks on the web show Postgres outperforming Redis in reads as well as low-volume writes (less than 1k key-value pairs), and Redis only beating Postgres for high volume key-value writes.
More than the early 2000s, it reminds me of early 90s Apple UIs.

For increased brutalism, I'd suggest another color theme, though... needs moar gray.
I have no desire to argue. I like understanding things and I was hopeful to understand why I felt the way I did when I read that sentence.

Some phones had a slot where you could insert made to fit cards with common numbers.
Can you give an example of evolution selecting for parental survival past the maturity of progeny? I’m curious about this because I’ve never heard of a species that has that trait.
I think it's fair to say the majority of people don't really care about any of those things as much as having a system that just works -- which was part of their whole argument regarding why package maintainers love it so much and end users really don't tend to care.
Does not work on actual risc-v hardware yet. Just Qemu.
Thank you, it had not occurred to me that Node.js and Deno offered that, but of course they do.
I clicked on this link due to its textual similarity to the sci fi book title "Men, Martians and Machines", by the legendary Eric Frank Russel.

I was disappointed.
The European union way, allow doctors from other countries to be licensed easily.
I don't know what a "2 prong" power cable is.

If you're using a monitor (as opposed to a tv) you can ditch the HDMI cable, and use USB-C DP AltMode.

Apache isn’t there, but vim is.
opalang blew my mind when i first saw it too - it took a whole lot of web development ideas that i'd seen floating around various languages and frameworks, and actually managed to make them consistent, principled and wonderfully ergonomic. no offence to ur/web (probably its closest competitor) but i never managed to quite get to grips with it; somehow opa managed to make the ideas feel a lot friendlier and easier to use.
How is it "mature" in any field? I think it's just getting started. Prepubescent, maybe, or adolescent at best...?
Forgive my naiveté in these questions:

Can one get the memory of context now available on the online/web chatgpt?

I find the list of conversations on the left of the web version are a way to start new lines of thinking. Can/how can I get that workflow going in gptel? Is there a better way to organize than what the web version provides?

Thanks to all who have made this!
> And of course storage will still be involved as again you can't have in-memory only tables.

That's fine. If what you want is a single-node deployment combined with in-memory purism them SQLite has your back.
Why is it not called Dinnr?
Oh most certainly. Much like Boeing can kill however many they want, intel isn’t going down.

National strategic interest in both cases overrides near all
I think you're generally right, but the major stumbles in the messaging market leave me insecure about Google's ability to develop and sustain serious products long term, besides search.
Idk if it’s a word in Czech but I got a ticket for crossing the street wrong there
You should have started the app on an Android first. An Android developer license is only a one time $25 fee. Once you build it on Android, you can gauge the response and determine how much to charge on other platforms. And build it using a build once, deploy many framework, such as React Native or Flutter, that way porting it to any device would be a sinch! My piece of advice.
Not in Java either. Primitives aren't classes.
> The Intellectual Dark web includes stuff like 'Quillette' which most people would have no problem with.

Just checking Wikipedia:

> Quillette has published articles supporting the "human biodiversity movement" (HBM),which attempts to reintroduce ideas from eugenics and scientific racism into the mainstream.

> HBM refers to beliefs that human behaviors are impacted by inherited genes, and certain predispositions are unique to certain ethnic groups

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quillette

I sure hope most people would have a problem with that crap.
My theory is that these things served as entertainment when people did not have choice. Now there are a lot of other things to pay attention to and it is much more obvious that this ecosystem has rot.
99% TypeScript/JS/React. Very, very occasionally Ruby or PHP.

Edit: Oh, but it's also great for parsing non-programming languages with good support for HTML, XML, Markdown, various SQLs, GraphQL, JSON, YAML, misc config file formats, container or CI/CD definitions, etc.
> You'd need to either redesign that whole part of the console for just that trim level, or else sell everyone at a lower trim level a console with an extra button that does nothing.

Not necessarily. Sony has joysticks that can snap in and out of the advanced controllers. It wouldn't be hard at all to design a backing circuit board that supports this behind the trim. Switches aren't exactly delicate parts either so it's conceivable that a cheaper system could use auto shops to solder in a new switch into the board.

You could also have a simple multiplexed interface board near the head unit and the switches could use simple two wire connections back to that board. Or the head unit could just have this built into it. Or you could design and use a HID like protocol so different interface adapters with different capabilities could be plugged and unplugged from the system.

Is this worth the cost? Short term probably not but long term you might be able to make these accessories much more generic and so reusing them in newer designs might actually lead to good savings. Plus you'd spawn an active third party market for these parts.
Bad analogy. You keep paying the restaurant for every meal, whereas you would pay only once for the app.
Evolve is another beast... but for the: "I've thought about this a lot. I'm no philosopher or AI researcher, so I'm just spitballing... but if I were to try my hand at it, I think I'd like to start from "principles" and let systems evolve or at least be discoverable over time" part, hunt up a copy of "The Society of Mind" by Minsky who was both and wrote about that idea.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Society_of_Mind

> The work, which first appeared in 1986, was the first comprehensive description of Minsky's "society of mind" theory, which he began developing in the early 1970s. It is composed of 270 self-contained essays which are divided into 30 general chapters. The book was also made into a CD-ROM version.

> In the process of explaining the society of mind, Minsky introduces a wide range of ideas and concepts. He develops theories about how processes such as language, memory, and learning work, and also covers concepts such as consciousness, the sense of self, and free will; because of this, many view The Society of Mind as a work of philosophy.

> The book was not written to prove anything specific about AI or cognitive science, and does not reference physical brain structures. Instead, it is a collection of ideas about how the mind and thinking work on the conceptual level.

Its very approachable as a layperson in that part of the field of AI.
> There's more to redis than just being a K/V store.

That's perfectly fine. You can compare Redis to other specialized tools just like you can compare it with Postgres and SQLite.
> who defends the rights of CEO's to lay off people, if that's in the best interest of their company.

Again let's be clear, no one's saying CEOs don't have the right to lay off people. You're arguing against a strawman.

Even the article doesn't say that. It says the CEO should not personally benefit financially immediately after a layoff. It's a clear conflict of interest. Not just with other employees but, more importantly, with other shareholders. Do you believe in good corporate governance, free of corruption and self-dealing?

CEOs in particular must always act in the best interests of the company and its shareholders, even when it's contrary to their own interests. This is one such example. The type of person who won't lay people off when it's necessary solely because they'll lose their bonus, is fundamentally a bad CEO. You don't ever want that person in charge. A company that would appoint that kind of person deserves to fail.
Oh, yes that's exactly what I really meant. Whoops.

I'll check out merge-base tomorrow, thanks for mentioning it!
That's... not the user's problem. This is a fine and cool project don't get me wrong. But the overall 'subscription everything' model is not really justified by costs. The subscriptions are usually orders of magnitude more than the true operating cost.

It's not the customer's job to pay you forever bc Apple wants a developer license. It's the business's job to make sure it's sustainable with the costs that it has / has chosen to bear.

That's the backpressure on business models - they're not all viable. Just because you _could_ add in a bunch of servers and cloud costs and whatever, doesn't mean it's inherently justified.

The problem is more that it's gotten _so_ cheap to run, that charging each user a seemingly-nominal 5c/day fee doesn't feel bad to an average person for a chance at value. And at scale you get enough people who figure "ah it's not that much", and end up with massive profit margins. Profiting off the disparity between the individual choice and the aggregate.
…but also morally? :)

anyway i think this ad illustrates the difference nicely.

The article does not clearly state whether Android RCS and iOS RCS will work together.

Interoperability depends on how RCS is implemented behind the scenes. Just because iOS RCS is here doesn't mean you can assume your Android friends will receive your messages or vice versa.

iOS RCS relies on mobile operators's infrastructure, while Android RCS uses Google services.

You can see where this is going, right?

Unless your telco invests in infrastructure to support RCS in-network, those two ecosystems will not talk to each other.
Too bad we could never figure out monetization and attention economy competition for publishing
Read the readme, only one question, why?
Ignoring the food portion of the above:

> systemd runs on billions of systems worldwide and everyone who ever professionally maintained enterprise servers understand what a bad approach the crude hack that SysVInit with its collection of shell scripts was.

This is your opinion and not one held by all. It also ignores the various BSD system initialization scripts, which are explicitly not "SysVInit" related, and have been in use for decades.
Personally I don't find it to be a particularly huge "cognitive load" to see a "mouse battery is low, charge soon" notification and then just charge it at the end of the day.

But for those that do, it's great that we have choices.
Not yet! Great idea though.

Are the risks really higher? Somehow it seems that with specialized private trackers having more prominence and public trackers like pirate bay and KAT dying out, there's actually less chance of malware because pirated content is more curated.
I use it every day for Javascript/Typescript and it works great. It's definitely not just for Java; many many languages are supported (https://www.jetbrains.com/ides/).

The bug you linked to seems rather esoteric (someone didn't want to manually type "import {blah} from package"...?). If you start to type that import, it'll autocomplete the rest for you. And once it's imported, it's very very good at traversing library files and types and bringing you to the definitions (VScode can do this too).

Does it have bugs? I'm sure. And it has its own absurd annoyances (like https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IJPL-60969/Show-path-in...) that might never get fixed. But in general it works great.
It might in a few years, but fabs aren't really interchangeable widgets.

Their contract-fab business has been a sporadic joke up to now. Until there's an established toolchain and pipeline, and a history of reliable delivery, will there be anyone designing parts to use the Intel fab capacity?
The scientific method has utility, but it's not a pre-requisite for utility.

Some people prefer speed and the uncertainty that comes with it.
I’m not a lawyer at all. What i feel is that the existence of the copyright assignment bot makes this decision worse.

I think it is perfectly reasonable to say “you contributed to the project knowing that the project is licensed X, therefore we can assume that you are ok with your contribution being under the same license and we just merge it”. Not saying that it is wise legally, but it feels to be a coherent theory at least. (Again not a lawyer.)

But if you have a “copyright-assignment” nagging robot that kinda reveals that you think one needs to jump that extra hoop. After that if you ignore that the robot’s question went unanswered it is harder to argue that you just went with the default assumption. Since if you feel it is worth asking the question that means you did not believe that the implied agreement is enough.
Having to eat food is a lifetime subscription.
I guess the point is you would pay for the app once, but visit the restaurant multiple times.
I think something like a small initial fee plus donations to keep it running would be good for such an app as this.
> That "occasional weird problem" is because systemd is not designed to be used with other software.

That's not true, systemd has an explicitly documented and supported initrd interface: https://systemd.io/INITRD_INTERFACE/

It's actually really easy, there's rarely a reason for the initrd to be more complex than a single 50-line busybox script on an embedded device with built-in drivers.
Anthropic calls Government to regulate AI in the next eighteen months
The anyhow crate complements thiserror pretty well in my experience. I use it "top-down" facing where individual errors in any component are defined with thiserror, but then we bubble them up by wrapping them in a `anyhow::Error` if we don't know what to do with them. It also has the nice thing of being able to produce simplified stack traces to help diagnose where things are going wrong. And then you can downcast to component-level thiserror Errors if you want to inspect something closely from high up.
This is normal, interestingly.

The companies you're used to are aging. New companies are supplanting them as new ideas win. More and more computing is done on phones, meaning Apple, TSMC, Qualcomm, and others are replacing Intel.

Adobe is being supplanted by Pixelmator, Blackmagic, and even Instagram.

Some of Boeing is being supplanted by SpaceX. Some will be replaced with companies like Boom, and Anduril. This is the hardest one - military contractors have a thumb on the scale from our government.

What you're seeing is not decline - it's that these industries are changing in ways that are hard to recognize.
For a marketing app like this, really the people paying should be the restaurants. They pay a bit of money, they appear a bit more often, and a bit more at the beginning of the list of dishes displayed. Cool idea and makes a lot of sense!

Also should consider what was selected last time - a bit of a predictive algorithm would be useful to start providing towards my likes a bit quicker.

Douglas Adams was satirizing touch interfaces and technological progress 45 years ago:

> A loud clatter of gunk music flooded through the Heart of Gold cabin as Zaphod searched the sub-etha radio wave bands for news of himself. The machine was rather difficult to operate. For years radios had been operated by means of pressing buttons and turning dials; then as the technology became more sophisticated the controls were made touch-sensitive—you merely had to brush the panels with your fingers; now all you had to do was wave your hand in the general direction of the components and hope. It saved a lot of muscular expenditure, of course, but meant that you had to sit infuriatingly still if you wanted to keep listening to the same program.
It would be way more usable if a time range could be selected and it would list the actual threads to the results.
That's false. On the same youtube channel there's a video [1] comparing Nginx vs Envoy and Nginx offers higher throughput.

Besides that, from what I've seen Envoy has a higher dependency footprint:

- It comes bloated with GRPC functionality.

- Configuration requires running python.

I'd be glad to be proven wrong on the performance side of Envoy but so far I've only heard rumors and never seen a conclusive benchmark.
