There's a certain amount of people that can adapt to a place, but if too many people of common culture comes in they just hijack the place. In Canada it seems to me they didn't establish the limit properly and people also worked around it by moving within Canada disregarding the agreement that they'd stay in a certain zone that still had some slack of people they could integrate.

Remigration [...] is a [...] political concept referring to the forced or promoted return of non-ethnically European immigrants, often including their descendants who were born in Europe, back to their place of racial origin, typically with no regard for their citizenship [^1]

Sounds pretty racist to me. Maybe you can be clearer on what you mean by non-racist remigration? The far-right groups, which are, at least in my country (Germany), the only once using the term to my knowledge, clearly mean it in a racist way.

I disagree. I looked up dates to verify. I suppose if you got your information from mainstream media it would seem like it went as you say. But it is a fact that the spread started in December 2019 [1], and the Diamond Princess data was available in February [2], and lockdowns started in March [3]

> Those who are well off

Spot on. I'm quite well off but don't think I'd support a system where only the well-off get good treatment. Better to have all shoulders supporting the system for everyone. Even if that means going through lesser years (also since it's not like good healthcare stops altogether during that time), having the relatively rich as well as politicians also need to make use of the system makes a lot of things suddenly possible
being "anglophone" isn't the issue. Rather that we're ALL anglophones. But anglophones (or better native English speakers) are only anglophones.
If your job is to build consensus for a plan, to collect feedback before committing to a major decision or to communicate progress and agree next steps on anything, meetings are work.

Meetings are work.

I can’t say this enough - not all work can be done on your own in an editor or IDE.

And no, it’s often not just busywork. It depends on the domain you’re in and what level of experience your colleagues have.

If you work in anything touching public sector, you’re going to need a lot more meetings to get alignment on even small decisions than if you work on a trading floor. It’s the nature of the beast and how “compliance” is interpreted by different cultures.

Meetings are work.
The problem with simple silver bullet solutions is that the best ones can handle maybe 80% of reasonable requirements... But it's absolutely impossible to solve any problem which happens to fall in the remaining 20% of problems. This fact is as true as ever and yet marketing of silver bullets is at an all-time high.

I teach an introductory coding course and I was surprised when one student asked me to give them some reasons why learning to code is useful instead of just using a platform like Wix. A similar question came up again (concerning a different website-building platform) in a different discussion with a family member.

I was kind of shocked that the distinction between a website and a data-driven application seems to have faded out of many people's consciousness. I'm guessing that you can probably add dynamic widgets to Wix and other similar platforms which make it seem like you can build complete apps but they can rarely get you all the way to your goal for a long-term project... And when you hit that wall, you almost need to learn the entire field of computer science from scratch just to get that last 10% of requirements implemented. You go from not having to know anything at all so literally understanding everything about computer science just to get the last 10%; or hire someone (and hope that they have the skills you need).
"As it master, I should be able to force my machine into giving me access of private fields."

If you're writing the code then you can do whatever you want with it. But if I'm writing the code you're using, I want the power to express "the end user cannot use this private field".

You trying to access the private fields in the library I or someone else wrote would be like trying to change a book someone wrote or a painting someone made. It's not the computer restricting you, it's the author of the code.

EDIT: This response was not my finest take.
Have they released anything on how it works other than "test time compute"? I wonder how similar it is to what's being proposed on this roadmap, that sounds close to what I imagine OpenAI are doing. I guess we'll see when they open source it.

Zettelkasten. It's an incredibly simple idea. Obsidian, Logseq, Roamresearch, Org-Roam - they all are based on that simple idea.

I used to spend a lot of time, thinking how should I organize my notes? Tried many different methods - categorizing them; grouping them by dates - years, months, days; putting them in multiple files and folders; using a single file with many (collapsible) headings, etc.

After switching to Zettelkasten method (I use Org-Roam), I realized - whenever I write any note, the only question that I really need to ask: "in what context should I re-discover this stuff later?".

A practical example: I would be discussing a session-related security vulnerability with my teammate, let's call them Jimmy. I would start a note with a meaningful title. Then add links to [[Jimmy]] [[session]] [[vulnerabilities]]. For simplicity, let's assume I already have these nodes in my system. 'Jimmy' is a node that has all the info about my teammate, their role, their contact info, etc. The node may also have its own tags, e.g., [[front-end-team]].

Now, months later, whenever a similar thing comes up, I wouldn't be scratching my head thinking "haven't I discussed that with Jimmy last year in October? Let me go through my October notes...". No, I would open Jimmy's node then lookup for all the backlinks and surely, I would find the relevant notes. I may even forget that I spoke to Jimmy, then I would find the notes through other nodes - [[front-end-team]] [[vulnerabilities]] [[session]].
A bunch of states ought to get split into multiple because it would result in a better mapping of state governments to economic and cultural lines and result in better representation for all parties on the state level.

Glad you get to move the goalposts anywhere you want to justify any comment you make. You haven't worked on every codebase that ever existed, even though it sounds like you think you have.

In many cases, yes, it is worth a rewrite instead of trying to shoehorn something that exists, only because it exists but is the wrong solution for the new requirements. We're not going to get into the weeds of every kind of refactor in every kind of codebase here on HN, so instead you can move the goalposts and I'll just stop replying here. We can agree to disagree and call it a day.

I've had the same complaint about DEI stuff in the US. Diversity is wonderful, but you also need people to integrate. The US used to be called the great melting pot, now we don't expect people to melt. No wonder we have so many problems. People used to be expected to integrate, that don't now, people should rightly be pissed.

You don't have to believe me, just look at the statistics: https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2022/03/24/the-dem...

I've lived in the US and Canada (a couple large cities in each country), and briefly in a medium-sized city in France.

Canadian cities are the cleanest of the three countries, but homelessness and drug use are just as prevalent in Canada as in the US. I don't remember seeing many addicts in Europe but there were certainly a lot of homeless refugees when I lived there. I guess you could argue that's not the fault of the host country, unlike the homelessness in Canada/US.

Other than that, the US cities I've lived in have felt safe and livable, with vibrant street life and plenty of great restaurants and events. I prefer urban neighborhoods which are close to the downtown core, but outside of it; the visible social problems seem to be very concentrated in certain areas, which can be avoided.

If by "guarded neighborhoods" you mean gated communities with full-time live security, I think your friends are major outliers. A very small minority of people live that way in America.

I do agree with you about "less anxiety around healthcare or education". My European friends see the world and life very differently. People don't feel guilty about living a normal life in the same way that some Americans seem to: the culture here screams "strive" and "excel", and I think that drives a lot of people to be miserable when they feel they are falling short of that expectation.

If you are in Canada and you have a problem with immigration, uhhh.. sorry, but you might want to figure out how to accept it.

"According to the 2021 Canadian census, immigrants in Canada number 8.3 million persons and make up approximately 23 percent of Canada's total population. This represents the eighth-largest immigrant population in the world, while the proportion represents one of the highest ratios for industrialized Western countries" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_to_Canada

FYI, an extremely well-funded lobby group wants to bump Canada's population to 100 million by the year 2100: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Century_Initiative
> Imagine China entered into a "defensive" military alliance with Mexico.

Yeah. I'd be worried if I was a US citizen. Because China has a recent history of pushing airspace boundaries and behaving in an expansionist manner. But the comparison there is more accurately with Russia rather than NATO. Russia is continually making minor incursions into NATO and European airspace and waters, for example, whereas the reverse is very rare. I'm no fan of US foreign policy, but it pales in comparison to Russia's.

> Within living memory, 10 million Soviets were killed in an unprovoked invasion from Europe.

Believing that the political reality of Europe in the 1940s is anywhere close to today is bizarre.
Canada has begun cracking down on this. There are now caps on the number of visas issued. Foreign students are no longer allowed to work full-time jobs by default while studying. This is especially relevant, because the Comprehensive Ranking System for permanent immigration gives points for years of full-time work experience in Canada, as well as for diplomas earned in Canada.

Unwinding it will be a bit messy: lots of post-secondary institutions have to figure out how run programs with a lot less funding, and what to do with capital projects that no longer make sense in light of greatly reduced enrollment, etc.

The damage done to the average Canadian's view of immigrants will take some time to fade away. But I suspect it will, with time, especially since our traditional immigration system really does just skim the "good" immigrants -- the ones with money and the skills to succeed.
SO2 sources are fairly well known, Acid Rain was first extensively studied back in the mid 1960s - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_rain

Marine fuels were the last remaining stronghold of anthropogenic SO2.

The two large scale changes in recent years of atmospheric makeup were the SO2 generation reduduction from marine fuel phase outs and the unuual high altitude water vaper injection from a volcanic eruption.

Atmospheric gas makeup changes are mapped from a number of global sites, and recently mutlispectral orbiting gas sensors have been fine scale mapping sources.

Canadian healthcare is quite interesting. It's the best in the world if there's someone from the States in the room but as soon as it's just Canadians in the discussion, it instantly becomes the world's worst.
The first flatpack I installed after buying my Steam Deck was Aisleriot solitaire. It took minutes to load, the first time I ran it after each restart, and tens of seconds if I hadn't restarted. The Pacman-installed version is instantaneous.
Your response is the perfect example of my point. Each time you use "much simpler services" you still _need to explain_ the setup for the simpler services. Someone might know it, someone not. E.g. some project may eventually grow out of Lambda RAM limitations, but noone in the team knew that. While Kubernetes is one-size-fits-all setup, even if I don't like it.

And yes, I use the Cloud Run myself, but only for my one-person projects. For the team projects consistency is much more important (same way to access/monitor/version etc).

PS: I would say even AWS/GCP is already a huge overkill for most projects. But for some reason you didn't see exactly the same problem starting with clouds right away.
I second that. Emphasis on the "or less". Go straight to the point. No fluff.

This sounds like a propaganda position. We hear it in the US too. It's a typical Republican strategy to take an area where they can't formulate a coherent economic or policy agenda, and turn it into a social issue. Instead of stealing our jobs, the immigrants are now stealing our cats.
Idk the Amish are pretty chill for not integrating. And if immigrants come and integrate into existing gang culture, would you actually be happy?

I think it is ok to just say “we don’t want poor immigrants. We want immigrants with something to offer.”
I read somewhere there are old money people in Europe faking that they are “working class” - not really to hide the fact that they are rich - to have people to hang out with in general.
H-1B Visa in Tech: Good Idea or Bad Idea? [video]
Good perspective. Maybe it's because people are primed by sci-fi to treat this as a god-like oracle model. Note that even in the real-world simulations can give wrong results as we don't have perfect information, so we'll probably never have such an oracle model.

But if you stick with the oracle framework, then it'd be better to model it as some sort of "fuzzy oracle" machine, right? I'm vaguely reminded of probabilistic turing machines here, in that you have some intrinsic amount of error (both due to the stochastic sampling as well as imperfect information). But the fact that prompting and RLHF works so well implies that by crawling around in this latent space, we can bound the errors to the point that it's "almost" an oracle, or a "simulation" of the true oracle that people want it to be.

And since lazy prompting techniques still work, that seems to imply that there's juice left to squeeze in terms of "alignment" (not in the safety sense, but in conditioning the distribution of outputs to increase the fidelity of the oracle simulation).

Also the second consequence is that probably the reason it needs so much data is because it just doesn't model _one_ thing, it tries to be a joint model of _everything_. A human learns with far less data, but the result is only a single personality. For a human to "act" as someone, they need to do training, character studies, and such to try to "learn" about the person, and even then good acting is a rare skill.

If you genuinely want an oracle machine, there's no way to avoid vacuuming up all the data that exists because without it you can't make a high fidelity simulation someone else. But on the flipside, if you're willing to be smarter about what facets you exclude then I'd guess there's probably a way to prune models in a way smarter than just quantizing them. I guess this is close to mixture-of-experts.

Why does the limit on computational complexity of single decoder transformers matter for obtaining superhuman coding ability? Is there a theory of what level of complexity is needed for the task of coding according to a spec? Or the complexity for translation/optimization of a code? Even if there were, and one could show that a plain decoder transformer is insufficient, you probably only need to add a tool in the middle of the stream processing. Unless you have some specific citation that strongly argues otherwise, I will stick with my speculative/optimistic view on the upcoming technology explosion. To be fair, I always thought coding was at best modest complexity, not super hard compared to other human activities, so I will not make claims of generic superintelligences anytime soon, though I hope they happen in the near term, but I’d be happy if I simply see them in a decade, and I don’t feel partial to any architecture. I just think that attention was a cool idea even before the transformers, and decoder transformers took it to the limit. It may be enough for a lot of superhuman achievements. Probably not for all. We will see.
That's hilarious, and sorry, I can't help myself.

Your recommendation (or lack thereof) carries little weight, then.

But to actually answer your question, there are many places in the US (urban, suburban, and rural) where fear of violent crime is not a major factor in the day-to-day life of most people. I don't know anyone who has been a victim of violent crime, and it does not feature prominently in conversations. In fact, the highly touristic areas in Europe seem to have more crime than anywhere I've personally been in the US, but I know better than to judge the entire continent by those outliers. I probably worry about as much about gang violence in south-side Chicago as you do about Romanian sex traffickers, or pickpockets in the 1st arrondissement of Paris.
Yes, but the inverse is also true. You can count on some people to really care about quality. If you find yourself disappointed by low quality, you're not looking in the right places (or the right price bracket).
it's not really a slippery slope when we're already this far down the slope. Netflix was the most obvious example. As well as ISPs benefiting their own streaming services over others (borderline censorship).

And it can't really be contested by customers because many only have 2-3 choices in their area. If they all collude...

I wish HN would stop devolving into Reddit. This comment is the same boring "joke" that has been repeated 100 times on every platform, and keeps being posted for karma. It adds nothing to the conversation.
A reddit thread started by a woman working at a college in Toronto was on the front page of reddit 2 months ago. Commenters just piled on with more and more anecdotes. : https://old.reddit.com/r/canadian/comments/1g7a6eg/im_sick_o...

I binged watched a bunch of videos on Europe's various countries' backlash to immigration. An example was a Sweden reversal of attitude on immigration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmBOqfxPc90

Maybe the statistics in that video was cherry-picked and distorting reality. I haven't been to Sweden in 20 years to know the facts on the ground. Either way, the comments on that video are interesting.

I remember thinking 8 years ago that Trump's rhetoric of "build a wall" was insane. But now seeing the negative attitudes in every country that accepted a mass influx of immigration, it turns out he brilliantly tapped into a frustration that no other high-profile politician running for President was brave enough to say bluntly. It helped him win the election.
