Yes. The problem is scale and pervasiveness.

Ethics didn't matter on an Apple ][. Well, not much. You could screw around, break stuff, "should" didn't come into it, you couldn't really touch the parts of the world that matter. Even people hacking phone lines and banks were small-time for the most part.

Zuckerberg wasn't particularly original in his thought process, there'd been many like him before, but I think Facebook was the pivotal moment. One, because it was for everyone (even more so than AOL), two, because it was personal in a way that previous social platforms (ICQ, Usenet, Compuserve) hadn't been, and three because by rigidly enforcing real-life identities as the norm, it collapsed the context between online and offline.

Ten years earlier, lonely-bored-horny-smart dudes would have joked about building an app to be vaguely creepy around hot girls they were too shy to talk to. Heck, that's basically the plot of Weird Science - by 1985, Hollywood knew that's what geeks were like, so we can guess the first time that conversation happened was about 1972.

Smart little boys breaking the rules on an Apple ][ are interesting and funny. When they end up running the world but haven't grown psychologically, it's downright terrifying.

Same goes for 25-year-old stoner douchebags making edgy shitposts on 4chan, and those same people when they're 55 and worth $400Bn. With power, responsibility. Grow the fuck up.
OMG. I wanted to get the end, but I was doing it on mobile. I upswiped once, and leftswiped once, so it took THREE tries. The first two tries were each more than 10 minutes in. When I was finally, done, I realized I had skipped my planned workout.

Then it hit me: Point. made. dammit.

I'm optimistic that it won't be a big issue. After all if 256 bit wide memory helped a wide range of application it would have been added earlier. After all xbox and playstation have had similar for 2 generations so far.

The bandwidth should mostly help the GPU performance for games or LLMs, but not random desktop apps.

RESTful is an oddly-specific term, so I don't see the point of changing the meaning.

Feel free to change the meaning of 'agile' to mean 'whatever' (which is how it's interpreted by 99.99% of the population), but leave things like RESTful alone.

I'd expect laptops with this thing will be available at closer to the Pro (~$2k) than the Max (~$3k). I see a laptop with the 375 for ~$1700 right now, which is more comparable to the 10-core M4. Or in the minipc space, the 370 is ~$1k, which would again be comparable to a 10-core M4 mac mini.

But it's a pretty useless number too. The only motivation here is for Ioannidis to pretend he wasn't repeatedly and grossly wrong.

I think a better founder mode simulator would be being beaten over the head with a rock for a year. I know I'm being a huge curmudgeon but I sometimes think that glorifying startup founders causes people who aren't in it for the long haul to try to start a startup.

You could be right but if you do it in a large pasta pot so only put in enough water to cover the noodles. No more. Add more if needed as the noodles soak the water.
I fully agree. There is a lot, a wide spectrum of abuse that Meta can be attacked for, and this little thing is not one of them. I think this is why I feel so personal about this - I do dislike Meta a lot, but I like it when people roast it for the actually valid reasons. I'm sorry for the downvotes, and appreciate your support.
Just watched. Typical crowd control in the style police use when the crowd perceived as peaceful and non-threatening. No any indication that the police perceived situation as threatening.

This was the first 'emulator' I ever owned (I did actually pay for it!). It worked well enough to play lemmings which was worth the cost for sure.
I'm surprised it does actually work very well.

The whole earn coins to purchase faster ways to earn coins is objectively stupid, I'm not going to do anything with them but I still feel like I need to earn more and feel good when I unlocked new stuff.

Is that Pavlov conditioning ? Used to buy new stuff and always make more money.
This is actually a 100+ year old divisive point in literary/media criticism - the older traditional view is authorial intent is the only thing that matters, the post-modern view is authorial intent shouldn't be considered at all and you should only look at the text in isolation. I think the sensible and most common view is that authorial intent should be taken into account, but should not be considered the final word - because you can't truly know what the author is intending, there may be subconscious things even the author isn't aware of (for example the complete sexlessness of HP Lovecraft is probably not intentional but probably telling), and how the author gets it wrong can be interesting and should be considered part of the piece as well (for example, when you mention how people won't watch the ocean, that's interesting, and should be considered part of the piece because the game leaves room for that kind of interpretation).

TLDR, there may be an intended point, but that's not the only thing a piece can be judged on. The best art leaves room for multiple interpretations, it has a life of it's own beyond the creator when it's experienced by people.
Yeah, you're probably - in most regards, depending on various things - better off living in NYC than Toronto (having lived in both). But that's at least a conversation worth having, a comparison worth making. Comparing Canada to the poorest places in America like the person I was replying to was solely on the basis of average wealth only makes sense if you've never been within spitting distance of either.

Yall, this was freaking great. I took a break from coding to play it, really scratch the itch. Yes I have ADHD.
Because your potential dependencies will require 5.x as a peer dependency, so you have to use 5.x. Because your current dependencies will fix bugs or introduce features that you need in versions that upgrade their peer dependency to 5.x, so you have to use 5.x. Because the package itself will fix certain bugs that exist in 3.x but will only fix them in 5.x, so you have to use 5.x.

It's not mundane. The screenshots show Instagram displaying an ad for Meta AI. The user is not currently using MetaAI, they are using Instagram, so it's not at all "showing examples of ways to use the software you are currently using".

It's more similar to Windows trying to sell you OneDrive through the Security Center, which is widely loathed, and recognized as an ad.
> I hesitate to call them protesters because I don't think they had a permit

The notion that the common people need permission to protest is exactly why we are slowly, but surely arriving at oligarchies. The French are right. You don't need permission to show the ruling class who's king.
God damn it. So far we've got the Harry Potter fan fiction, the My Little Pony fan fiction, the pop-sci book Gates is talking about, and one actual book, Reinforcement Learning: An Introduction by R. Sutton.

We need something that's technical enough to be useful, but not based on outdated assumptions about the technology used to implement AI.
I think it is mostly three folds. Availability, to be cloud agnostic and scale of few tbs to few hundred TBs. I have been seeing cockroach and yugabyte in an on prem setup where you don't get the benefits of a cloud provider but you can get the availability guarantees and fault tolerance.

>it is not safe programming if you put all your code under unsafe brackets.

Put less code in unsafe brackets. I haven't seen how a proper renderer is made in Rust, but I'd be shocked if something on the scale of Bevy's still was just "Rust without rust" as a quick c++ port.

I'm sure there Wil inevitably be some low level hardware tricks that need unsafe blocks, but that's much less needed in most modern code than back in the day. And if we're being frank, those kinds of optimizations probably aren't top priority compares to, say, a proper front end scene graph to interact with.

>I mean - do I need to say more?

That every language has strengths and weaknesses? I'm all for any wisdom you wish to share. I won't pretend to be an expert in any language.

My design decision (or rather, suspicion) comes more from the fact that scripting needs different demands (rapid iteration) than the underlying foundation (rendering/physics/asset management that can create the nastiest kinds of bugs). Therss inevitable issue bridging languages, but I think overall it would give the best of both worlds.

...maximizing their brainwashing effectiveness while minimizing the ick factor and triggering privacy minding behaviors.

A lot of harm is done in the world by parties adaptively keeping their invasive conduct at just below the level which will trigger retaliation, legislation, etc. Like databrokers will sell exceptionally private data to anyone with a few bucks, but it's only a 'data breach' when someone takes that data without paying. The existence of databreaches even provides nice plausible deniability for harms that arise from the business of privacy-invasion-for-profit.
You rewrote your comment not to come across better but to make a different point.

Your point was that this wasn’t an ad. Your point now is that you personally feel “ad” doesn’t typically mean first party ads.

The former is wrong, the latter an opinion.
> The leadership's principles were coherent, even if built on lies. People don't need to reject rationality to fall for it, they just need to rationalize cruelty within a warped framework.

I wouldn't call fascist leadership coherent either, it's what eventually leads to the downfall of any fascistic regime. The leaders end up believing their own lies, the nazis thought the aryan race was undefeatable, and engaged in too much warring. I do still think you have to reject rationality to believe the lies and internalize the rhetoric. You can't be rational and believe in the lies.

> Though warped and morally indefensible, they definitely have defining principles.

I mean, yes, technically. My understanding of "defining principle" may be slightly different from yours. To me, you don't really have principles if you're able to align your opinion with the party's new line on a whim.

> It's unwise to treat your ideological enemies introspect and intellect as inherently inferior to what you perceive as your own.

You are very right on that.

> Some people just aren't predisposed to that kind of thinking or behavior, no matter the environment.

You're right, that was a slight hyperbole. Here, I wanted to refer to the psychological studies done on nazis after the war, that found nothing out of the ordinary with those men.
what? that one egg was twenty eggs?
The question was "have a massive impact", which is not quite the same thing as "fundamental".

Though being the Last ISA would be pretty fundamental.

Unless they are really really bad, ISAs don't die because their design got old. x86 has proven that, over and over. As has been observed by a number of people, the only flaw that is really fatal is not having enough address bits. RISC-V is probably the only 64 bit ISA today with a built in plan for 128 bits.

The main reason ISAs die is because they are proprietary and have only one vendor that goes out of business, decides to concentrate on something else, gets too greedy, misses the Next Big Thing etc.

Same with Un*x's, actually.

Something owned by no one and everyone avoids all that, as long as it gains initial traction and has a governing person/body that keeps things sensible but can be bypassed/forked later if needed.
Spanish flu definitely wasn't from a lab, wherever COVID-19 came from.
Ahh, “end the fed” doesn’t mean end the fed, OK. Because if you did end the fed, you’d have unregulated banking and maybe a return to wildcat banking which um, would probably not be better for your long term finances.

A quick perusal of Wikipedia’s article on the history of banking would reveal that banks figured out they could lend out more than the amount they had in deposit well before the concept of a central bank came into being, and the central banks’ role has historically been to keep things at least somewhat under control. So again, to put it simply, blaming the fed seems totally misguided here.

When I was reading “The future of htmx” blog post which is also being discussed on HN [1], the “htmx is the new jQuery” idea jumped out at me. Given that jQuery has been gradually replaced by native JavaScript [2], I wondered what web development could look like if htmx is gradually replaced by native HTML.

Triptych could be it, and it’s particularly interesting that it’s being championed by the htmx developers.

Because there was general layoffs of the workers in the previous year or two? There is a fairly formulaic way that companies tighten belts. First you do layoffs, get rid of projects that will never make money, reduce headcount for orgs that grew fat, etc. At the same time you explore offshoring (especially as it keeps the same number of headcount under a vp for less cost). Then there is a round of cleaning up the management layer, making sure everyone has a minimum number of reports, moving some managers back to being leads/IC etc.

This was all formulaic and the more experienced directors and VP's back in 2022 knew this and immediately started playing the new corporate game to win in the long run.

That was kind of a genius move, though, despite its weirdness: performing under a different name gave him leverage in his contract battle with Warner Brothers, but using a name which was neither pronounceable nor printable meant that everyone (effectively) kept calling him "Prince" anyway.

What I don't think Zuck or any of his peers realised was what they were connecting. Sure, connect all the bright young things on college campuses, and maybe their nice extended families, good things will happen.

I don't think he'd have done it if he knew just how much of the population was deplorable, deplorable-adjacent or highly susceptible to being turned that way.

And I don't recall ever seeing that discussed at the time. "But if we connect all the people... you realise we're connecting all the angry, ugly, bitter, nasty, broken ones too. And have you considered just how many of those there are?"
It says something that people are so afraid of the direction a country is going that they are willing to forgive an attempt to overthrow an election. It would be wise for us to try to figure out what is really going on there, because I expect it to get worse before it gets better.
No, the person uploaded their photo to Meta AI to get a picture with some background, once. They then started seeing ads for MetaAI offering to generate more images of them, for a cost. Only the ads were still using their face from the photo they only uploaded once.

This is like using an online photo editing tool once, and then seeing ads to that photo editing tool show up on the internet, still using the image you up loaded that one time.
Imgur is Instagram, but selfies are banned (with specific exceptions on xmas day, injury images, or improving health / rehabilitation images).

Because of that one single rule, most of the vain attention seekers don't stay on imgur.

It's so much better without them.
> But in general, making ads more effective without giving advertisers more data about us is a great thing for the continuation of free amazing internet services!

Too right! Sure, Facebook may have facilitated multiple ethnic cleansings around the world, but its a small price to pay to facilitate a dystopian future in which tech illiterate, elderly boomers are bombarded with AI generated ads of their own funerals that encourage them to buy life assurance policies...

Amusingly I was thinking about sauerkraut on a burger bun as I love sauerkraut, but then the author said that wasn't.. in budget? or available? I forget his reasoning, but that glimmer of hope was dashed :D

>Meta at this point is just throwing shit at the wall and hoping something sticks

I feel the very same from the OP reddit submission. OP used Meta AI, and then Meta AI used it for more Meta AI. I'm sorry but this is a far cry from "Instagram is using my face on ads targeted at me". The implications of this title, and the situation it describes differ greatly. For example, if the user used Meta AI, and then got an ad of themselves driving a car, drinking a coffee, wearing some clothing, and the ad would be about that product itself, then I would have not made the original comment at all.
>> Despite the HN comments complaining about it being overwhelming and a dark reflection of how awful and distracting the internet is, clearly enough people enjoyed it to get to the front page.

> Is this like a massive HN wooosh -- how can this be the top-voted comment?

100% agree. I had to read that sentence and surrounding parts like 5 times to check if I was missing a satirical nod somewhere. It's like writing a review of Franz Kafka's books and saying "Despite what we may say about bureaucracy, clearly lots of people enjoy it because his books were best sellers!"

Lots of art is there to make you think, not to "enjoy" it.
"Coming at it from a separate angle, it would be quite a coincidence if it just so happened that every single province in the country, over decades, has had their healthcare systems failing in basically the same way with the same problems for end users"

It isn't though. These problems that are now being hard-felt in Toronto and Vancouver have plagued the Atlantic provinces for decades.
"I know it well" is really the only motivation you need. Why learn a new tool when you have used this one a hundred times before and know it'll get the job done?
