Oh, so we just have to take down those evil corporations and then everything will be solved?

That is how it sounds like. Easy solution. Except - who will then produce and deliver the cheap food and products for the poor unresponsible individuals to consume?
I see news stories like this all the time: https://abcnews.go.com/amp/US/caron-nazario-army-lieutenant-...
I live in Japan and while also not a lawyer I've had experiences with the labor bureau - this is totally false, and even explicitly stated in the Labor Standards Act:

"Article 5: An employer must not force a worker to work against their will through the use of physical violence, intimidation, confinement, or any other means that unjustly restricts that worker's mental or physical freedom.

...

Article 16: An employer must not form a contract that prescribes a monetary penalty for breach of a labor contract or establishes the amount of compensation for loss or damage in advance."

(Source: https://www.japaneselawtranslation.go.jp/en/laws/view/3567)

This explicitly applies to contract workers (契約社員) too, and protections for employees (正社員) are so strong that it can often take months of documentation to dismiss someone. Whether people know they have these protections, knew they had them before they sign something their company gives them or feel comfortable actually reporting when a company has violated them is a different story. But basic salary is protected strongly enough that most Japanese companies heavily weight compensation on annual/semi-annual bonuses, housing allowances etc... (which are not protected).
A new major release of the Linux kernel happens every ~8 weeks. There are usually 7 or 8 release candidates (-rc1, rc2, etc) released on successive Sundays during that period, followed by a release of the major version. That's the workflow the Linux kernel has used for years.
Of course.

Prices will go up.

Consumers will start to look for alternatives that don't carry the tariff.

That's what tariffs are designed to do.
> I flat out do not believe there's something about space hardware that makes this not possible.

I agree. I'm sure everyone at NASA agrees as well. I won't go on and talk us into a circle.

Another issue may be that NASA often pushes the bleeding edge of space exploration - that is part of their job. Commercial companies can handle the the already established tech like orbital launch.

There's an excellent National Academies report on NASA from this past spring, which includes a great section on current leading missions, and the technologies needed, including those that must be developed. NASA seems to develop new tech for every mission; they take on missions before the R&D is done on many components - they seem to be just theories. That might be hard to mass produce.
I would be wary to put AI functionality in my app, especially if it is a medical or health app.

It looks like the intentions are good, but it reminds me of some indie hacker with zero AI (apart from wrapper apps) or therapist background offered “therapist AI”.

And, No.
I think there is a socioeconomic problem regarding the wholly text-based environment:

It's too good for the user so it can't exist!

If you have it there are no problems left for anyone to profit upon.

Something like this is nirvana for me:

* The email arrives in the client (which is my text editor/IDE/whatever)

* There is a macro or hotkey which transforms it into a piece of text that is a representation of a JIRA ticket (yes it's tragic that I have to use JIRA)

* I review, hit save and the JIRA ticket is updated/created

* There is another macro which transforms it into a Git commit, Slack message, etc.

But the world is not like this, hours of our work day are wasted manually copy/pasting, massaging and reformatting our information between different walled gardens and different user interfaces, imposing new cognitive load every time.

Let me just have a set of templates in my text editor which do this transformation, I review it and hit save.

Emacs is the only application which has any meaningful traction and approaches this type of scenario: a generalized collection of buffers where your computer is just pushing text around for you and interacting with other bits of software to persist those changes in different ways (generally easier if text is the interface for those applications too). I think it's no coincidence that Emacs comes from GNU.

If all these things are just text in my main environment, there aren't many problems left that people can sell me. Import/export of proprietary file formats is a classic way to lock people into an ecosystem. SaaS APIs are a more modern one. If all this is just text files editable by me, if the interface is universal, the lock-in fails.

Give me text I can transform in my powerful editor. For a power user at least, everything else just gets in the way.

This is a place where I think LLMs might develop some legs by the way. Most applications need to accept text or at least keystrokes from the user sooner or later. LLMs seem to be pretty great at transforming text between two formats/vocabularies/whatever - maybe one working for me can do an end-run around the walls that proprietary systems erect, and make it easy to perform these transformations I'm talking about. Maybe your operating system vendor sees this as being the next step in the arms race between the different companies competing for your attention.
Just because this stuck with me: Viktor Frankl once wrote that meaning in life is not a Rorschach test (i.e. has to be made up) but rather a puzzle picture ("Vexierbild", is already there and has to be found).

I don't think this contradicts what you wrote, though.
You wrote that Nvidia is inhuman, and that the Cardassians are more human that it, but the Cardassians commited horrible warcrimes while Nvidia, as far as I know, has not.

> Also, I'm skeptical how much better modern hardware will fare in deep space conditions, considering the use of finer and more fragile electronics.

Since then, we had massive advantages in manufacturing. Maybe COTS parts aren't as usable in space as they were back then, but we can now easily manufacture something more resilient or, as a fallback, simply use those old parts. Also, basically all current electronics are designed to be and are used on earth ~100% of the time. Over-engineering it for use in space is just a waste.
Congrats on reinventing the data lake? This is actually how most of the newer generations of "cloud native" databases work, where they separate compute and storage. The key is that they have a more sophisticated caching layer so that the latency cost of a query can be amortized across requests.
I read it as 'immorality' and that fits too, people over 40 tend to be more 'openminded' about loosening tight social norms.

Obviously the age barriers are not fixed but culture-specific and have moved higher in recent generations. However there is the biological fact that humans age rapidly at age 44 and at age 65 which could roughly be the two ages the article is talking about
> Interestingly the importer in the article was looking at alternate chains of supply, but "manufacturing in the US" wasn't one of his proposed solutions.

With NAFTA/NAFTA 2, it doesn't make sense to manufacture in the USA anyway when they have cheaper labor in Mexico. China knows this too.

> I'm only building a factory if I expect prices to -remain high-. And tarifs are set (unilaterally) by the president without congress (which I why Trump likes them) but they can be removed just as quickly.

But they're often not, e.g. Biden kept many of the tariffs Trump imposed and even increased some of them.

> Interestingly the importer in the article was looking at alternate chains of supply, but "manufacturing in the US" wasn't one of his proposed solutions.

This is obviously going to depend on the nature of the industry, but even when it moves to other countries, this can still be of benefit to the US because then those countries develop an industry instead of US consumers relying on a single supplier country as a monopolist and single point of failure. That could even long-term reduce prices as those other countries then compete with each other once the tariffs allow them to develop their manufacturing base.

> It also assumes that countries don't respond with tit-for-tat tarifs which harm factories already in the US.

Tit-for-tat would require the country on the wrong end of the tariffs to be importing as much from the US as the US does from them.

It would also require that country to actually avoid buying US products. Maybe it's easier to move sneaker manufacturing to Vietnam than to replace high tech products from US companies.

It would also require that country to not already be disfavoring US imports, as might be implied from an imbalance of trade to begin with.
Why don't they just emigrate? Work culture seems to be better just about everywhere and on top of that, salaries in Japan are shit, and anyone with half the Japanese work ethics will be a dream employee in U.S. or let alone Europe which is full of entitled, lazy slackers.

Yes, I know that WebSockets layer over TCP/IP. But that both misses the point and is part of the point. The reason that I ask is that WebSockets seem to almost always be used in the context of web applications. TCP/IP still seems to dominate control communications between hardware. But why not WebSockets? Almost everyone ends up building a message framing protocol on top of TCP/IP, so why not just use WebSockets which has bi-directional message framing built-in? I'm just not seeing why WebSockets aren't as ubiquitous as TCP/IP and only seem to be relegated to web applications.

Going in details on how they were armed would be interesting. How many people with a limp "armed" with a cane...

Pretty sure they managed to sneak this one (https://www.cbsnews.com/baltimore/news/john-fauver-harford-c...) in the armed category

Also dogs are not any more armed in the US than in Europe, yet American cops shoot a lot more dogs. They do so because they are antisocial and know they'll face no consequences (and even if they get fired from on PD, another will recruit them). I'd say there is both a recruiting issue and an immunity issue.
Like Common Lisp Object System?

Besides, stuff like forEach, map/reduce was already present in Smalltalk collections, and was copied into Object Pascal, C++, even if without first class grammar for it.

Exactly because the underlying memory is mutual, there are mechanisms in ML languages to mutation, when really needed.
Typically they do, the infrastructure is there with automatic updates and C&C-like abilities. The driver runs close to the kernel to be able to use hooks into files closing and so on, at least on MICROS~1 operating systems.

Did the Crowdstrike thing earlier this year reach you? They sell a corporate version of this kind of trojan, and did a fuckup in an update, suddenly making a lot of people realise that someone else has control over their computers.
Hmmm I think even in something very nominally nearby like theoretical physics, there's very little that's similar to theorem proving. I don't see how AlphaProof could be a stepping stone to anything like what you're describing.

Generally, I think many people who haven't studied mathematics don't realize how huge the gulf is between "being logical/reasonable" and applying mathematical logic as in a complicated proof. Neither is really of any help for the other. I think this is actually the orthodox position among mathematicians; it's mostly people who might have taken an undergraduate math class or two who might think of one as a gateway to the other. (However there are certainly some basic commonalities between the two. For example, the converse error is important to understand in both.)

I grew up in a small town and was on the wrong side of law enforcement (sometimes rightfully -- underage drinking, etc., nothing that serious -- but oftentimes not) around 2 dozen times between 16/17 and 21 when I got the fuck out of that town. I haven't so much as spoken to an on-duty cop in over 20 years. To this day I still get nervous when I see a police car. They earned their image problems and they haven't even begun to try to correct it. Even if they started tomorrow, it would still take them decades to fix it. I'm not hopeful that any meaningful change in policing in the US will take place in my lifetime.

And, for anyone who isn't reading between the lines here, without a doubt I'm only so lucky as to avoid their attention today because I made it and have spent the last 2 decades living in nice neighborhoods and driving nice cars.
Yes, very true. You can only make it work if everyone is bought in and even then it's ready to regress by someone skipping steps and getting praise from the business while other engineers are fixing their stuff.

There seem to be two mistakes here.

First, the SAIL PDP-10 didn't run TENEX. SAIL maintained their own operating system based on the PDP-6 Monitor, called WAITS. I guess you could say its closest relative might be TOPS-10; certainly many programs could easily be ported over back and forth.

Second, as noted here, TENEX was not "later called TOPS-10". It also wasn't called TOPS-20. DEC took TENEX, and with extensive modifications and updates produced TOPS-20. Meanwhile TENEX continued to be developed and maintained separately at sites that elected not to switch to DEC-20 machines.

>Who cares.

The people who did the research, and the editors of Nature - whose opinions on what matters and what doesn't (unlike yours) are qualified. At the very least, they have actual names attached to them; names of people and the publication. That sets the expectations, and actually answers the question who cares.

Given the success of Nature as a publication, one can say with reasonable confidence that people who read Nature, most likely, care about issues that the editors select. If that weren't the case, Nature would not have the status it does.

>If it's not provably written by a human but instead by an RNG, I'm not interested. Don't give me that crap about it being "indistinguishable" or better and that I couldn't tell the different in a blind test. That's completely irrelevant.

Interestingly, if I saw this in a blind test, I'd be inclined to think this sentence was produced by a broken AI, because it conveys zero information, while attempting to maintain the form of a well-formed sentence.

At best, the sum total of that string of words is "I'm not interested in AI-generated poetry", which is off-topic for the discussion at hand.

The study is about people more so than the technology, gauging the responses people have to AI-generated vs. non-AI-generated poetry. One could do the same study on, say, poems written by humans in English originally vs. poems translated into English, and it would still be of interest.

What's of zero interest to anyone is the information about how you feel about the concept of AI-generated poetry in general (not about any specific example, mind you).

The only thing it adds to the discussion is an example of what what a non-contribution to it is on this forum.

Thank you for that.
No. The energy consumption does not need to decrease, the source must be more eficient. We have nuclear energy, despite the propaganda, nuclear energy (specially the Thorium reactors) produce very little waste and pollute less than fosil fuels or even solar panels. You do not need to discover a new source of energy to stop climate change. The problem is that people keep thinking in how much it will cost.

Again, GDP measures how much money is spent within a country, if there are several intermediaries in a supply chain, the cost of products and services increases and the GDP tends to rise.

If a country change direction and leans towards nuclear energy, the GDP (that is in fact a terrible measure) will increase cause the new expenditures.

Someone else pointed out that the whole phone system is a dog's breakfast, which also needs to be fixed for various easy-scam-exploitation reasons as well.

>YC did well because they were good at picking ideas, not generating them.

This doesn't line up with the perennial attitude (as discussed by pg) that YC picks people/teams and not ideas, because while ideas and approaches may change, the people are the same and having a good founder, co-founder and team matters the most.

Their M.O. is to avoid getting too attached to an idea because, in the process of actually building the company, pivots may be required. And so the focus is on a team moreso than a business plan, which again, is not something pg is particularly fond of seeing especially the ones that have lengthy (and therefore improbable/unrealistic) forecasts.

As a developer, I’ve spent years building and maintaining my app to meet Google’s policies and user expectations. Recently, I discovered today that users logging in with Google see very scary warnings when opening links through in-app browsers in my app.

Here’s the kicker: the warnings are based on the user-agent, as Google quietly admits in the fine print. This means they know the issue is with Samsung, Xiaomi, and custom Android ROMs' in-app browsers not adhering to their ‘secure browsing’ standards. But instead of addressing it, they’re happy to pass the buck and blame the one person who has zero control over the situation: the developer.

I’m already in a high-risk industry, so this has likely caused substantial, unknowable losses—and it could even be argued that it’s defamatory. These warnings unfairly place blame on me, tanking user trust and damaging reputations, even though Google knows it’s not my fault.

By explicitly suggesting that our apps are unsafe, Google is punishing developers for their inability to control Android’s ecosystem fragmentation while forcing users to trust the false narrative that “it’s the app’s fault.”

If any starving lawyers want to start a class action, consider me your first lead.
