I think it does sounds really bad. After one year, 26 years lifespan. We get that by doing:

30 - (30.1 - 1) = 26.

Doing that again for the next year:
26 - (26.1 - 1) = 22.4.

So you now have 22.4 years of life vs an expected 28.

As an HCI person, really glad to hear that! I think there's a LOT to explore here indeed, and it's they key to democratization. We have a lot of ideas to reveal in the coming months, such as teleoperation with just the phone, VR, web-sims to experiment without buying first...

if Congress wanted to delegate decision making to the judicial branch they can pass laws that do so. they pass a law saying that the agency can make decisions, those decisions should be respected. this decision is right the equivalent of if the courts decided they had the power to block laws that the court thought were bad policy

From a design perspective, this is really impressive. However, I noticed a few basic functionalities seem to be missing—at least for me—like the ability to return to the home screen from an app.

On a related note, Try Galaxy (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35886033) is another fascinating project. It offers a web-based One UI clone, and when installed as a PWA, the experience becomes even more seamless.

Speaking of web-based UI clones, I can’t resist giving an honorable mention to Puter (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33838179) and DaedalOS (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38830132). I believe they are exceptional projects that deserve recognition.
Again, how is it a kludge? If you want to argue standard 'auto' high beams are a kludge, then maybe... but matrix headlights are performing a function that is literally impossible by a driver. Having high beams still illuminate an area where no cars are is strictly better, especially on the proper locations where it should be used (poorly lit rural areas), and there is no way to do that without matrix headlights.
I dislike the pattern where we have to hook into their cloud.
> "Perhaps putting all liability on the importer, distributor, or retailer for imported goods."

These parties do carry extensive liabilities when there's a product defect or fault, as was the case in the cited case. The issue is that manufacturers usually produce larger volumes, and are thus vulnerable to more of these lawsuits, as well as class-actions. Class-action cases are often extremely and expensive, even when there was no clear fault.
The suit you cited happened in 1961. However, in the 1950s every domestic textile category had seen at least double digit declines (97% for wool!), while imports had seen triple digit growth (cotton fabric imports tripled). The industry was already well on its way to failure, so I have a hard time believing there is a causal relationship.

As I stated before, the liability still exists even when you manufacture outside of the country. There are no net cost savings from a liability lawsuit standpoint to be had by moving production overseas.

> Even here in Seoul, one of the more populous cities, so many people would move in a heartbeat if they could keep the same job and e.g. education for their children. They certainly don't love it.

That's interesting -- because Seoul is one of the most overwhelming examples of city preference (perhaps not internal desire, but opportunity seeking behavior) in the world. Korea has a problem in that the population is in fact too concentrated in Seoul, which creates distortions in the economy, and the government has been trying to get people to spread out more (Sejong City is an attempt). People are frustrated with things about Seoul but they still stay for the opportunity.

Let's flip the question this way: if apartment ownership was affordable, opportunities were good, air was clean, most things in life like healthcare, education, etc. were affordable, would people naturally seek to move to a big city?

Tokyo is such a city and the answer for many people has been yes. It may not be the preference of most people you meet online, but empirically the numbers reveal preference.

I swear these satellite services could eliminate live tv and go on-demand only using a hard drive DVR style, with maybe 10-20 live channels. Everything else would be a stream that would download and notify you when it was ready. The bandwidth of those dishes has got to be multiple gigabytes per second. They could broadcast everything and the viewers would just opt in to the specific shows or movies they want. Completely switch the business model.

I think she's done such great work on the administrative side of things with junk fee bans, etc., but I feel like she has also burned an enormous amount of taxpayer money on lawsuits that don't have value (like suing Meta for acquiring the tiny VR fitness company).

It feels like she's just against any acquisitions by large companies, and I think that's both too broad of a stance for the FTC to take (as opposed to really looking on a case-by-case basis of whether consumers would be hurt by an acquisition) and also harmful to new companies being created, since suddenly an important option for exits is a whole lot less likely as large companies hesitate to be acquisitive.
See I absolutely dislike this thought that hyperscalars can easily beat nvidia. It is not their domain of expertise. Tpu are not where near GPU in performance. People really underestimate Nvidia's expertise and strengths.
The problem is that there are a lot of spurious and dubious cases, and class-actions are very expensive and risky to defend, even when the defendant is innocent, largely because they're seen as unsympathetic 'piggy-banks' (whereas the plaintiffs are often very sympathetic).
Wouldn't it be easier to get the jump on them by not threatening them in the first place? How does stopping the verbal threat also stop the real life attack?

Not to say that I wish harm on anyone or think anyone deserves to be threatened. The point is more that if the reasoning for this is as you say, then the laws they're putting in place don't really make sense. It's like if someone was going around poisoning the water supply and they outlawed talking about it instead of just protecting the water supply.
> Perhaps putting all liability on the importer, distributor, or retailer for imported goods.

Standard product liability law already has joint and several liability for manufacturing defects on all parties in the chain of commerce, so each of the retailer, distributor, importer, and manufacturer already bear full liability.

The sane thing to do is to let lower layer functions return

Either<Error, Foo>

then, in the HTTP layer, your endpoint code just looks like

return fooService
.getFoo(
fooId
) //Either<Error, Foo>
.fold({ //left (error) case
when (it) {
is GetFooErrors.NotAuthenticated -> { Response.status(401).build() }
is GetFooErrors.InalidFooId -> { Response.status(400).build() }
is GetFooErrors.Other -> { Response.status(500).build() }
}
}, { //right case
Response.ok(it)
})

the benefits of this are hard to overstate.

* Errors are clearly enumerated in a single place.
* Errors are clearly separated from but connected to HTTP, in the appropriate layer. (=the HTTP layer) Developers can tell from a glance at the resource method what the endpoint will return for each outcome, in context.
* Errors are guaranteed to be exhaustively mapped because Kotlin enforces that sealed classes are exhaustively mapped at compile time. So a 500 resulting from forgetting to catch a ReusedPasswordException is impossible, and if new errors are added without being mapped to HTTP responses, the compiler will let us know.

It beats exceptions, it beats Go's shitty error handling.

This is hilarious and a great analogy.
To be a little more charitable, I don’t think the average non-technical newspaper reader knows or cares about the difference.

Most non-tech people I know treat a router as a black box system - you plug it in, and then when you have issues, you turn it on and off again. If it keeps happening you get a new one. The word firmware will draw blank stares.

> The technical issues and neglect for users’ privacy are merely a sideshow here. These are somewhat to be expected for a small company with limited financing. Even a small company can do better however if the priorities are aligned.

I'm willing to forgive technical issues for a small company, but, if a company doesn't build to respect user privacy when it's small, then it's certainly not going to start doing so once it gets bigger.
Send a query to your favorite database. The database preprocesses hundreds of gigabytes of data, map-reduces it, and finally returns a single 32-bit integer, taking exactly 3.2 seconds to do so.

Nobody would say that the database can only process 10 bits per second. The query just happened to ask for a very simplified answer.

3. Breathing meditation to train your attention

I have mixed feelings about this paper. On the one hand, I'm a big fan of studying how strategies evolve in these sorts of games. Examining the conditions that determine how cooperation arises and survives is interesting in its own right.

However, I think that the paper tries to frame these experiments in way that is often unjustified. Cultural evolution is LLMs will often be transient - any acquired behavior will disappear once the previous interactions are removed from the model's input. Transmission, one of the conditions they identify for evolution, is often unsatisfied.

>Notwithstanding these limitations, our experiments do serve to falsify the claim that LLMs are universally capable of evolving human-like cooperative behavior.

I don't buy this framing at all. We don't know what behavior humans would produce if placed in the same setting.

> If it gets something wrong, it will say "I apologize" until you, dear user, are blue in the face. If an actual person tried to do the same, the blueness would instead be on their, not your, face. Therein lies the value of a human worker.

The value of a human worker is in a more meaningful apology? I think the relevant question here is who's going to make more mistakes, not who's going to be responsible when they happen. A good human is better than AI today, but that's not going to last long.
In a way... I can actually see this as fair. What's the difference between the 4090 rtx and the 6000 ada? 5x the price for 2x the memory? Ridiculous. But then you have to factor in all the R&D dollars Nvidia poured into their compute/non-graphics ecosystem which now easily eclipses the gaming one, probably by a factor of 10 or more, and suddenly it doesn't seem so ridiculous. You either a) don't get 4090 level of a graphics card anymore... or b) you do get it, but only if it's nerfed for non-graphics uses... Nvidia wants its big R&D bucks back (and then some) and its gonna get em
Right, the desperate need for talent is the reason these programs are used so heavily. It's not discounted salary and cost savings in benefits, insurance, and other areas for non-permanent employees, or having leverage over immigrant employees in negotiations. Corporations only ever use these programs to get the absolute best of the best and they absolutely aren't abused to bypass the stricter regulations and requirements for citizen employees. /s

There's nothing wrong with brain draining other countries and incentivizing legal immigration for work visas and H1B style programs. We should want to be the best place in the world to work. This shouldn't come as a detriment to the citizens of the US. Legal immigration and jobs programs need to be better. The H1B program suppresses legal citizen wages as well as immigrant wages because companies are able to use the threat of deportation as an effective negotiation tactic. Companies use immigrants for cheap professional labor, and if the immigrant pipes up, they get let go. With everything in tech life being designed around pushing people into paycheck to paycheck lifestyles, this can wreck someone's life through no fault of their own if they do something like ask for a raise, or better health insurance.

In turn, if citizen employees try to negotiate, the company can replace them with more immigrant workers unless or until they can hire local replacements at the company's preferred rate of pay.

We need a cleaner, easier path to citizenship, without the endless bureaucratic nightmare that is the current system. We need better work visa programs, so that people who legitimately make the world a better place aren't penalized for arbitrary technicalities, while at the same time recognizing the sovereignty of the US and reasonably protecting borders.

Sometimes countries need to be overthrown, and the US shouldn't act like a pressure release valve for dictators. We also shouldn't be in the business of regime management or perpetuating political nightmares that causes a lot of illegal immigration, as well.

TLDR;
There's no shortage of US tech talent. The problem is that we've painted ourselves into a regulatory corner - in order to be competitive, companies have to shortchange payroll by abusing migrant salaries. To fix it, we must strengthen migrant rights so companies can't hang the threat of deportation over employee's heads, and reduce the financial burden of hiring citizens, so you get the same bang for your buck regardless of the immigration status of the employee.

Microsoft and Lumen and FAANG and all the tech industry titans shouldn't have penny pinching strategies designed to bump stock prices using methods that are fueled by human suffering. Get rid of those options and stop blindly implementing systems where the incentives are so obviously awful.

The Davy Crockett variant seems to just have had a yield of 20 tonnes. Per nukemap (https://nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/ ) the fatal radiation range (of 500 rem) is like 500 meters. If you fire from, say, 5k the radiation exposure should be significantly lower. I don’t know how the radiation exposure scales over distance, but if it’s an inverse square law that means at 5k you’re getting like 5 rem. Which isn’t great, it’s like the equivalent of a CT scan

It's almost like this government thing has legs...
It seems much harder to move meat production overseas. You can use destructively high tariffs to prevent it. You can also require imports to follow the same standards including domestic inspection.

Any suits that fail 99% of the time are frivilous and the normal method of dealing with same is punishing claimants who should have known better by fining and disbarring lawyers and making claimant bear costs.

Ways exist to distinguish between a frivilous and non case in this category.

-Has responsible party exhibited a pattern of failures of their normal duty of care according to testimony and evidence that would be collected by the government as part of reasonable investigations and inspection

-Is it more likely than not that present issue is related.

It seems unreasonable that we must either open up bobs meats to lawsuits with every sandwich or ignore the fact that Bob killed dozens because he has been known to be a filthy pig for years.
The whole story is 3-fold. We have

- errors in the software itself, aka BUGS
- logical conditions that are expected part of the program execution flow and expected state. some of these might be error conditions but only for the *user*. In other words they're not errors in the software itself.
- unexpected failures where none of the above applies. typically only when some OS resource allocation fails, failed to allocate memory, socket, mutex etc and the reason is not because the programmer called the API wrong.

In the first category we're dealing with BUGS and when I advocate asserting and terminating the process that only really applies to BUG conditions. If you let an application to continue in a buggy state then you cannot logically reason about it anymore.

The logical conditions are the typical cases for example "file not found" or whatever. User tries to use the software but there's a problem. The application needs to deal with these but from the software correctness perspective there's no error. The error is only what the user perceives. When your browser prints "404" or "no internet connection" the software works correctly. The error is only from the user perspective.

Finally the last category are those unexpected situations where something that should not fails. It is quite tricky to get these right. Is straight up exiting the right choice? Maybe the system will have more sources later if you just back off and try again later. Personally in C++ projects my strategy is to employ exceptions and let the callstack unwind to the UI level, inform the user and and then just return to the event loop. Of course the real trick is to keep the program state such that it's in some well defined state and not in a BUGGY state ;-)

I always tell people the most important lessons in life I learned started rights in public schools. We’re stuck with other people and all the games people play.

I’ve always favored we teach more on character, people skills (esp body language or motivations), critical thinking, statistics, personal finance, etc. early on. Whatever we see playing out in a big way, esp skills crucial for personal advancement and democracy, should take place over maximizing the number of facts or rules memorized.

Also, one might wonder why a school system would be designed to maximize compliance to authority figure’s seemingly meaningless rules and facts. If anything, it would produce people who were mediocre, but obedient, in authoritarian structures. Looking at the history of education, we find that might not be far from the truth.

Very obvious fake science. I 100% guarantee you that if you take an unbiased look at the data, all the variance will be explained by something like age or occupation selection bias.

As the article says, ambulance drivers die on average at 64.

Even the idea is absurd. "Occupation" is already an extremely vague category which heavily confounds numerous very obvious risk factors. The best statistical methods won't help you make a crisp signal out of pure noise.

It also ridiculous how they just handwave that the hypothesis fails for other occupations.
