It is the centralization type that matters.

Obligatory reminder that the whole "Internet routes around censorship" like it routes around glassed data centres during nuclear war, etc. applies to layers 3-4 of ISO/OSI model. The problematic centralization of the Internet happens at layer 7.
School, then. Which is so gamified that it has real stakes. And so much interactions.
I feel a lot of the pacifist 'we are civilised, violence should not be the answer' is a very wishy-washy opinion that comes from a position of privilege. Violence works—or at least, the threat of violence works. This is what keeps many people in line; it's how laws work. Imprisonment is inherently violent; physical force is used to restrain people and curtail their rights. Mutually-assured destruction (it's literally in the name) kept the superpowers from actually lobbing nukes at each other (and they still ended up fighting dozens of proxy wars anyway).

i miss the old opera with presto engine. they had the best web browser in times when IE was still the king. then firefox took over and was good. then google got involved, took over khtml and made chrome and now there is only chrome with different skins and icons and firefox is not that good any more.
I live at the heart of Brussels, 2BR, 1250 eur a month. It’s not the cheapest of the city but it’s also not the most expensive; in fact the most expensive side of the city is one of its suburbs.

And living in the suburbs here doesn’t mean you have to use your car to buy milk, unlike the US. Stuff is still walking distance there.

Cost of life is average. Belgium is actually pretty great for that. It’s just the weather that’s shit.
> Maybe you are saying ProxMox doesn't offer logins with different levels of access.

No, it does. Hm, let me see if I can phrase this better.

In VMware, there’s two “stock” accounts that come with the product and function out of the box: admin/administrator@vsphere.local (depending
on the product line) and root. I can set the passwords on both, and then I can go a step further by restricting their use on given appliances - such as keeping admin live for maintenance, but only permitting root login via the console. Better yet for security, I can make root unusable without affecting upgrades and critical functionality, requiring an appliance reset via bootloader to recover it. In fact, it’s entirely possible to deploy and secure many VMware appliances without touching root once.

I cannot do that with Proxmox. Everything important for routine maintenance of the hypervisor requires root. Yes, I can make a new privileged account and use that for day-to-day instead, but ultimately root still has to exist and be usable at all times. Worse, Proxmox lacks the basic tools in its deployment image to manage system-level accounts and escalated privilege access (like sudo), meaning additional basic configuration is needed to get it to a minimally acceptable security standard in 2024. In an era where engineers like myself are demanding secure by default software, Proxmox is far from that standard.

I hope that clears things up!
But juries have been brainwashed into believing that they don't have the right of jury nullification of a case, whereas in truth they have always had this implicit right.
I continue to be dismayed by AI's quixotic focus on "human" intelligence. AI is very far from pigeon-level intelligence or dog-level intelligence. I strongly suspect transformers are dumber than spiders.[1] This focus on human intelligence via formal human knowledge is putting the cart before the horse. If your "human-level" AI architecture cannot conceivably be modified for chimp intelligence, and requires bootstrapping with a bunch of pre-processed human knowledge, then it is not actually emulating human intelligence. LLMs are fancy encyclopedias, not primitive brains.

[1] Suppose you have an accurate web-spinning simulator and you train a transformer ANN on 40 million years of natural spiderweb construction: between trees, rocks, etc. This AI is excellent at spinning natural webs. Would the transformer be able to spin a functional web in your pantry or basement. If not, then the AI isn't as smart as a spider. I don't think this thought experiment is actually possible: any computer simulation would excessively simplify the physical complexity. But based on transformers' pattern of failures in other domains, I don't think they are good enough to pull it off.
Human nature is to have a moral compass (conscience), with a mind to contemplate whether our planned behavior is positive or negative for the happiness of those around us, and a free will to then choose which paths to take.

What you describe is all present in the animals, to more or less advanced degree, where chimps and crows can use tools and even pass that knowledge on to others. Yes, our bodies follow the mammalian template, and with it comes our baseline tendencies to form packs to fight against other packs and fight for dominance within the pack, all in order to enjoy more physical pleasure. We inherit that, but we are capable of rising above those animalistic urges to become a humanitarian, who considers the happiness of others, and even the whole, in their decisions.

Further, with our advanced being and our free will, we are able to self-evolve our ideals, attitudes, and behaviors, in EITHER moral direction: either towards a more selfish, brutal, and callous competitive state, or towards a more selfless, compasionate, and caring cooperative state. The former leads to where we are now in human history, the latter, rarely exercised, leads to our highest potential, returning us to a happy, prosperous, environmental-concerned human race with various cultural differences but united in the success of each and every person, should they choose to participate.

So, no, no computer logic engine at present can in any way mimic the totality of "human intelligence" because very few people understand human nature, so they can only literally "ape" it. They can't even approach simulating what is going on within us, the only moral beings on this planet, and the only beings here with the power to consciously change ourselves and our environment, for better or worse, it all being our choice, however subconscious and inertial for the vast majority.
You Should Care About AI Agents
i like this argument- fashion is left over animal spirits. the less rational (and more animalistic) we are, the more that fashion matters to us.

that would explain the drop in extreme fashion's popularity also as people become educated.

You similarly reduced all Americans to a stereotype with this comment. If you get your idea of Americans from internet discourse, you may come away with this impression, but it's a shallow view of a diverse country.
I'm not sure you know what the word "tantrum" means, but that's fine.

I'll reiterate that your immature and snarky tone does you no favours in terms of having a discourse, and again I encourage you to reconsider how you engage with others here.

Do you talk like this to people in the real world?
It's complicated. Health insurance is expensive because healthcare is expensive. Different countries have approached this differently. In the UK the doctor will see you in 5 years, in China the government sponsors snake oil ( traditional Chinese medicine), and in Canada they introduced MAID (the 'just kill yourself now' health plan).
> Yes they all support punching holes, in fact, I’m punching holes right now, otherwise I won’t be able to reply. But if you don’t punch, then there’s no hole.

That is not what is meant by "hole punching":

> Networked devices with public or globally accessible IP addresses can create connections between one another easily. Clients with private addresses may also easily connect to public servers, as long as the client behind a router or firewall initiates the connection. However, hole punching (or some other form of NAT traversal) is required to establish a direct connection between two clients that both reside behind different firewalls or routers that use network address translation (NAT).

Curated knowledge base of real-world LLMOps implementations
That's not what UB means. "This will behave differently on different implementations" is implementation defined behavior. Compilers are not allowed to assume that implementation defined behavior never occurs or reject your program if they can prove that it happens.

Undefined behavior is a stronger statement and says that if the behavior occurs then the entire program is simply not valid. This allows the compiler to make vastly more aggressive changes to your program.

This is my experience also. I do use Chrome for one use case: I run all Google properties on Chrome, and the rest of the web on Safari.

I enjoy Google products, but I am also careful to tune my Google privacy, etc. settings. Keeping the use of all Google properties on Chrome keeps things clear, for an old man like myself. BTW, I seldom use Google search, but everything else except for GMail I pay for: GCP, YouTube Plus, Gemini (love the large context size, and almost free API use), etc.

Off topic, but almost everything of value I use on the web is something I pay for. Adding in buying books to read, user experience is better than reading or using random junk on the web.

That is still affordability. When cities are expensive you get more for you money in a suburb. A hobby room, home office or cooking space. But the cost of suburbs are inherently expensive. So when cities are affordable you get more for your money in a city. Because you get some space but also better access to things like offices, makerspaces or restaurants.

Yes there’s tons of overhead and extra costs, but it isn’t mostly at the insurance company level. It’s spread all around the system, that was my point. There’s no one “quick fix” that leaves everyone with the same job and fat salary as they had before.
> What is interesting in the debate to me, is that I see a lot of IT work as blue collar work.

Society has loads of edge cases like this.

I broke my arm a few years back, went to hospital, and a surgeon put some titanium plates and screws in. The orthopaedic surgeon spends a lot of the day standing, they repeat similar work every day with minor variations, they can't work remotely, they're exposed to hazardous chemicals, they have face-to-face interactions with customers, they earn money by working rather than from investments or inheritance, they're union members, they get paid overtime, they wear blue employer-issued workwear, many do shift work, and they literally put in screws for a living.

And yet nobody would say surgeons are blue collar workers.

Maybe because of the $500k salaries, or the air-conditioned hospitals they work in, or because their status is equivalent to doctors who are pretty much the definition of upper-middle-class tie-wearing knowledge workers.
I think this is a subject that tends to bring the absolute lunatics out of their holes.
I agree. We all carry responsibility for the outcomes of our actions, choices and associations. It is possible to work in our industry for companies with positive social impact and minimal negative externalities. If you do not, perhaps you should consider a change.

There are some comments that, even if I was blindfolded and only had to listen to them through a loudspeaker, I would immediately recognize as coming from some HN commenter who thinks they're being really smart.

This is one of those such comments.

Yes, working on a single centralised service is orders of magnitude easier than working on a decentralised service.

Especially when security and cryptography enters into the picture.
UnitedHealthcare knows about HIPPA but somehow this past year or so leaked (through one of their business partners iirc?) the Social Security Numbers PII of 100+ million Americans, an act which while perhaps inevitable can never be undone, also leaking the numbers of my three young kids which as a dad I now have to mildly worry about for the next few decades.

Nobody deserves to be murdered, there are way worse things where life itself is at stake as described in this article, and as someone working with databases and security over decades I know people in glass houses shouldnt throw stones.

But I am not a fan of these guys and I thought perhaps a few on this forum would appreciate this nerdly? petty? but also slightly serious vent and point.

Hello guys, I have developed an open-source project for automatic upgrades
I have developed an auto-update component for desktop clients that follows the MIT license. It can perform automatic updates not only on Windows but also supports the Ubuntu operating system. Notably, it does not require any UI itself and theoretically supports all desktop client technologies such as Avalonia, WPF, WinForms, WinUI, MAUI-Windows, and UWP (except for store mode at the moment). However, I'm currently facing a problem: how can I update the content of the SQLite database on the client's machine during an auto-update without losing the original data? I would like to seek advice from everyone.

About me: I am a skilled visual/graphic designer with over five years of experience focused on design and brand development. Throughout my career, I have effectively collaborated with cross-functional teams to produce compelling designs for a wide range of clients. I am committed to creating high-quality visual assets that elevate user experiences.
I know it is an article, and not a scientific publication, but that does not change the fact that the article is not serious at all regarding the ongoing discussion on AI.
If this gets published in Nature, even as an opinion article, is because there is a general ideology that can actually produce this kind of content.
Just wanted to mention that what the OP is asking for is completely achievable in a great urban city.

I live in an ideal mixed-use walkable neighborhood with a 2.5 car garage (that only holds one electric car). Not every house has that nor should it, but we can certainly build those features for those who want them and maintain walkability and good transit practices alongside mixed use.

The problem with the suburbs isn’t the existence of the single family home, the problem is the zoning and design of the homes.

> Man, this almost made me throw up because your post reaks of selfishness and privilege. Anyways, I hope you're at least aware of your extreme privilege.

This doesn’t convince anyone of anything and it doesn’t help us with building better transit and walkable neighborhoods. When you tell someone that what they want is “extreme privilege” and “selfish” you turn them away from the conversation. Instead we should focus on showing them how their lifestyle isn’t actually incompatible with good urban planning and good transit, because it’s not.

The future of American cities isn’t NYC, which I love and adore. We won’t have the density for that and skyscrapers and that level of density have their own problems too. Instead, we should look at mid-sized European cities and towns as a better model. We may have more single family homes and cars, but we can still build at the appropriate level of density and build different types of dwellings to meet people where they are in their life. Today it’s illegal to build an apartment building, coffee shop, restaurant, or small grocery store in the suburban neighborhood and we can’t build small, affordable units for folks either. This creates pricing imbalances and other issues.
And yet we have them sooner.
> The senators cite “a potentially more secure superior communications platform, known as Matrix, which is end-to-end encrypted by default, interoperable, not controlled by any one company, and widely used by multiple NATO allies.”

What's the current state of this open-ness?

Last I checked, it looked like Matrix was de facto mostly controlled by Element, even more than the Web browser is currently controlled by Google.

I'm not questioning intentions, and I'm aware that there are now a few other clients that support E2E. Just want an update on the reality. I don't want this to turn into a company with a Slack-like IPO, or an MS acquisition, and have the open-ness situation turn worse when we were waiting for it to turn better.
