Oh gosh... "insidious castration of all men" and "blurred gender roles". Really? They have been blurry for all of homo sapiens existence, just think of the matriarchal societies that still exist today[0]. Gender dysphoria has been documented from individuals[1] for a long time, societies accepted a third gender since ancient time and even in the USA, the Cercle Hermaphroditos[2] was quite early to the party, being founded in 1895 (yes 130 years ago).

I'm confident that plastic will go the way trees did: Unbothered for a long time until bacteria figured dead wood is just another food and put a stop to trees being fossilized as coal.

Stop plastics, it's a good idea to do so for many reasons, but there's no need to drag gender roles and those stupid good old times into it. I much prefer spending time with my kid instead of slaving away 9-5 six days a week.

There aren't many future societal changes that I'd bet on, but the acceptance of Brave-New-World-style artificial uterine environments is one of them. Even for a healthy woman at an optimal age, the process of pregnancy is incredibly physically strenuous, yet our culture continues to encourage motherhood at a later age and fails to effectively support those who do make the choice to have children. A technological solution would be an easy out here, and if it were available then people would very likely take it, for better or worse.
This is truly impressive, I'm in complete awe.

I do think there are some bugs based on playing a game against it. It has a tendency to give up its queen and other pieces. and it blundered mate in 1 at the end of the game when it had moves that led to mate in 2 or 3.

Usually even a 2-ply engine should avoid these mistakes unless the evaluation function is completely silly, which may be the case here, I don't know. I tried looking at the code but it didn't make much sense to me, I'm not smart enough to understand this regex "runtime" based code. Could also be a bug of using < instead of > somewhere, or vice versa, making it choose the worst move instead of the best one.
Could you recommend a few? I've found I need to very heavily curate these for my 6yo
Thank you for the feedback! There is an issue (https://github.com/grafana/promql-anomaly-detection/issues/7) discussing approaches to improve this by introducing a decay function. This is specially relevant for stable series with occasional short large spikes. Nothing conclusive yet, but hopefully something good will come out of it!
Just woke up to this email, and I'm a little bummed. I love my 4a. I'll wait and see exactly how much performance worsens. The article doesn't give any estimates.

Anybody have recommendations for a similarly small phone? I'm considering taking the $50 pity money and getting an iPhone 13 mini.
The obligatory XKCD: https://xkcd.com/2030/
Do you have a citation for this, or is it just something you've come to believe?
This doesn't show the number of cars and traffic within the area. The real test will be the amount of traffic within the zone
Yeah, it sucks. LLMs are not great with a big context yet. I hope that is being worked on. I need the LLM to read my whole project AND optimally all related slack conversations, the wiki and related libraries.
I think it is hard for political parties to investigate anything. You would need law enforcement for that.

It is also my understanding that most voter fraud challenges in 2016 were dismissed due to lack of standing, before the facts were considered.
I enjoyed this article for it's tongue-in-cheek approach. Thanks Victor!
Lol! Finding a bunch of good 18650s is WAY easier than a freaking proprietary black bar. Replacing them requires some skill, though, but most repair shops can or know who can do it properly.
I think it's relevant because if LLMs are found to be self-aware, this would raise serious ethical issues. These issues are also acknowledged with animals. We deny them humanity but some animals do have some rights (animal cruelty laws are a thing) and many people think they should have more.
So name a single time tech and explain how the lack of it didn’t prevent other train station operators having clocks without jumping hands operating even before 1944?
(not sure, but think that the minute timetable resolution was pretty universal)
Indeed, why wait till 50 to start giving back.

Edit: Not talking purely about financially giving back, but also volunteering your time.
Weird, here in the netherlands you'll be hard pressed to find a kitchen that does not have a hood that exhausts to outside.

However currently there is a movement to (more expensive, luxury) solutions that do not have a vent hood and instead vent through a recirculation filter (Bora).
If you don't understand what the generic is doing, there might be edge-cases you don't appreciate. I think Typescript types are fairly non-essential so it doesn't really matter, but for more important business logic it definitely can make a difference.
I don’t understand your argument. There are (presumably) basement dwellers keeping ancient gaming console emulators working on modern platforms with little more resources than free food from their mothers.
my new idle clicker
Awesome, looks nice!
Unfortunately for that we have computers so we don't need high IQ to do more work like calculations but higher quality work (which also depends on what kind of work you're doing) and that is oftentimes not primarily related to high IQ (think of creative work)
Yes, the roads are usually where they are for good reasons and avoiding all of them means having to deal with higher gradients and slower speed.
Not sure about that, but resentfulness, arrogance and hubris are more present than ever on HN.
I don't believe healthy, social children can be born in this way within our lifetime. Babies start learning their mother tongue in the stomach while being out and about with their mother. There may also be hundreds of other things happening in the stomach that we don't know about, which are needed for healthy children
Well I was bothered by a similar problem when tweaking my StumpWM modeline long time ago.

I wanted to show the seconds in the clock on my modeline, but the modeline has a fixed refresh rate, which I set to 1HZ. Then I realized my clock can never be accurate.

Eventually I chose to hide the seconds to stop myself from having those nightmares, but I think they are coming back after reading this article.
Bog Standard (2005)
Why do you entertain the possibility there there could be any consciousness there? Are you also exploring the consciousness of the sewage system of NYC, given that there's nothing compressed sand can do that a complex system of water, pipes and valves couldn't? Isn't it obvious that an LLM _sounds_ conscious precisely becuase we built it to sound as such, modelling the way we as human think and speak, but that there isn't anything autonomous in there?
Try and dig a bit outside netflix; there are plenty of excellent old Dutch (or failing that, German) children's shows.
There is a wikipedia article on it [1]

Canada tries to hide it in official statistics, but it still peeks through. Despite being a model minority in every other nation, ethnic-Indians have the 2nd highest crime rate by race in Canada[2]. Gang violence is primarily intra-race, and the over-representation of ethnic-Indian in homicide victims points its prevalence [3].

Canada's Indo-Canadian crime are limited to ethnic-neighborhoods and townships. Irishmen & italians on the west-coast would have been blissfully unaware of their respective mafias on the east coast. Similarly, unless you live in these neighborhoods, you won't notice it one bit.

Unless you predicted AI and Crypto then it was just really good, not 100x. It 20x from 2005-2020 but ~500x from 2005-2025

And if you truly did predict that Nvidia would own those markets and those markets would be massive, you could have also bought Amazon, Google or heck even Bitcoin. Anything you touched in tech really would have made you a millionaire really.
The author engages in classism, yet he is a multimillionaire funding things the voters rejected.
You're wrong on both counts.

Fining for blocking intersection isn't stochastic. You simply don't enter the intersection if you're not sure you'll be able to exit it. You wait at green light. Simple. That's how people in London and Zurich drive.

Congestion automatically reduces the number of cars (because they literally can't get into the city!), without congestion pricing. If you reduce 3 lanes to 2, then... 2 lanes will be blocked, instead of 3, so there will be complete gridlock & congestion - for cars. But not for busses! So public transport will work, even thought private is gridlocked. Combine this with (1) - empty intersections - and busses can drive very well!
> This leads us nicely to the Downs–Thomson paradox. When people in the above scenario start to take other modes of transport it reduces the load on our bottleneck. Eventually reaching an equilibrium where the speed of different modes of transport balances out (as people stop switching from one mode to the other)

The premise here is that travel time can be the only trade off, but suppose we make a different one: Stop charging fares for mass transit. Then more people take it because it costs less rather than because it's faster and it can be less expensive (and only slightly slower) even when the roads are minimally congested.
No. This emerged from a normal "utilitarian" thread with a regular version of the model
> Gameto is rapidly expanding the availability of Fertilo […] in key markets such as Australia, Japan, Argentina, Paraguay, Mexico, and Peru.

so, are those the key markets for expensive fertility treatments?
There's always a flock of people ready to believe in anything speaking to their own fears, and the one or other church would evangelize anything if the money is right. So, buckle up!
> Agreed he could have searched for the spelling

Or just not qualify it. People make typos, nothing wrong with that. But the qualification means they felt they don’t know the spelling but couldn’t be bothered to do the 1 second thing and look it up.

It is one of those cases where being confidently wrong is less insulting than being wrong, suspecting that you are wrong but not caring about it.

> You wouldn't say "however he is spelled".

No. As discussed above I would search for it. But if one has to express this already bad thing one can write “however he spells his name”.

I guess the reason i’m sensitive to this is that I’m bored of seeing people performatively mispronounce names. Not saying that is what happened here. In fact it is probably not what happened. Just that it reminded me of that particular kind of uglyness.
Why would it matter whether such a tool uses an LLM or not? Tech for the sole sake of tech never worked and never will, so this is an immediate red flag.
Nim is a fun language but I wouldn't consider it for "serious" work. It has the same issues as other niche languages (ie. ecosystem), plus: a polarising maintainer (most core contributors don't seem to last long) and primarily funded by a crypto company (if you care about that). Then again, 10 years ago none of that would have bothered me.
I'm from the US. We have lots of Muslims, Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, atheists, you name it. You were specifically complaining about immigrants of a certain religion. You're intolerant of other religions, but you don't want to admit it because you think it makes you look bad. Take this as a learning opportunity.
People are usually interested in the transients.
It's difficult because I've never had Comcast (I pay my £10/month BBC fee that hasn't gone up in years with pleasure) but I'd probably start by saying that Comcast is not a scarce good.
I wish people would focus more on scooters and motorcycles than moving people in busses. Coming from a place with decent and cheap public transport, no one likes it. It'll never be as fast, you'll always be closed in a bacteria greenhouse with strangers, there will always be crazies, it'll never have the exact path you need, you don't have as much control over it.. For the past year I've been commuting on a motorcycle with no car and even with snow it's surprisingly fine. Maintenance is cheap since it's much more DIY friendly, I get back from work up to 65-70% faster than cars, usually 35-40% (rush hour), I average 5,8-6,1 l/100 without trying to save fuel.. It's very comfy if you're not in a location where winters are particularly harsh. But at that point freezing your ass off at a bus station waiting to get in the bacteria greenhouse isn't great either.
Digital in the sense that there's a set of discrete countable events.

Contrast with several other timekeeping systems: water clocks, hourglasses (sand glasses), sundials or astronomical observations (ultimately the definitive reference), in which periodic processes or entropic gradients serve as analogues to the passage of time.

Modern atomic clocks are also to my mind inherently digital or quantum, where counts of discrete events are tallied.

The discussion of DAC/ADC conversion process has some merits, but to me, thinking of ideas as interfaces, and as models of reality, "digital" fits far better than "analogue" in this case. Particularly as you'll find that same DAC/ADC process in what we manifestly call digital computers or digital memory/storage systems, where some other-than-discretely-varying signal is nonetheless abstracted to 1s and 0s.

As occurs when tallying quartz crystal oscillations in a timepiece.
hopefully, the babies are not in the stomach :)

There are already prototypes of artificial wombs imitating natural womb environment (which might potentially be in the mother's home)

We have not really reached the peak of the AI bubble yet, so its a bit hard to concretely talk about moats.

LLMs aren't the golden bullet the article hints at. Sure they are improving, but the cost is not falling. It costs a huge amount to create foundation models, and there will be a point where either we have a breakthrough (ie we move from sequence generation to concept synthesis) or the money runs out.

But regardless the rule of thumb still holds:

If your business idea is simple to do, then you need another plank to make your moat. That could be network effect, access to capital or both.

Patents are there to inhibit capital, because it costs money to challenge a patent (as well as defend)

If your business idea is not simple to implement, then you might have the benefit of time.

AI doesn't really change any of that, it just amplifies the effect. ie, making an amazon clone is simple now, because the tech/infra exists. Amazon had to make that infrastructure first, which was hard.
Look on the bright side, a whole generation of hackers will grow up with prompt injection being their culture's phreaking and SQL injection.
Are you aware of Lisp? In Lisp programs were never "text". They are written directly as trees which are evaluated as part of the program execution. The trees themselves can be written via text, e.g. using s-expressions which are a tiny minimal way to represent trees as text, but they could also be generated via code (called macros) or written in some other way entirely. This is fundamental to understanding Lisp and one of the reasons "programs are text" people are often put off at first.
I find difficult to prove something is self-aware when you know very well it was programmed to perfectly mimic self-awareness. Like, if I scream does it mean I'm in pain?
As in Slashdotting?
> If you're looking for non-regressive ways to share scarce resources, you're going to struggle.

It's not actually that hard. You fund them through general taxes rather than fares. Then how much you pay is proportional to how much money you make -- even a flat tax does at least that -- as opposed to the largely fixed amount that corresponds to the amount the average person has to move around in order to live an ordinary life, which is approximately a head tax.
Putting a speaker in the incubation room is probably the easiest tweak in all this.
My favorite part was my iPhone struggling to run this thing once it got busy, and me desperate to not lose the game. Took me back to the old days!
That's a fair argument, and I've noted the kinetic energy aspect elsewhere in this discussion.

That said, based on my observations of the terrain past the runway / airport threshold, it seems to me that absent the Muan Murder Wall, survivability would have been far higher in this case. See: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42607464>

I've yet to find a source that does a better job of organising incidents by landing speed / profile in a way which might better provide for more direct comparisons.
I remember dropping parallel hashmap into my C++ app after years of using the standard library containers, and being honestly positively surprised my app got significantly faster after that.

So thanks for the developer of this!
Holy hell!
If you merely know how to check, would you also know how to fix it after you find that it's wrong?

If you are lucky to have the LLM fix it for you, great. If you don't know how to fix it yourself and the LLM doesn't either, you've just wasted a lot of time.
And also lead to subtle errors for users of crates. Semver is hard enough to do when the compiler only deals with signatures, but if the body of the functions now contain invariants that can be relied on by function callers then it becomes intractable.
Working with some deterministic chat-bot interfaces, I should try to get the designers on-board with displaying a positive "AI-free" logo. :p

After exploring countless AI assistant apps, I always felt like something was missing. Many of them were either too complicated, too intrusive, or lacked the flexibility to adapt to my needs. I dreamed of creating an assistant that didn’t just fit into my life but actually enhanced it without interruptions or unnecessary complexity. That dream has now become a reality, and I’m thrilled to introduce Dot Copilot—a simple, intuitive AI assistant designed for Android users.

This project started with a single goal: to create an assistant that’s better, smarter, and completely non-intrusive. With Dot Copilot, I wanted something that could integrate into daily workflows without taking over or adding distractions. Today, I’m proud to share it with you.

Why Dot Copilot is Different

Dot Copilot is built on three core principles:

1. Simplicity: It’s easy to use and doesn’t demand your constant attention. You summon Dot Copilot only when you need it, and it blends into your work without disruptions.

2. Customizability: Everyone’s needs are different. That’s why Dot Copilot allows you to create custom commands tailored to your lifestyle, making it your truly personal assistant.

3. Efficiency: Dot Copilot is designed to save you time. Whether it’s parsing receipts, managing to-do lists, or replying to messages, it handles tasks smoothly and quickly.

What Dot Copilot Can Do

Here are a few things that Dot Copilot can help with:

1. Floating Assistant Button: A floating button gives you instant access without switching apps. Enable it, and Dot Copilot is always a tap away.

2. Screen Content Recognition: Dot Copilot can analyze your screen—whether it’s a photo, a webpage, or a text message—and help you take the next step.

3. Parse Receipts into Google Sheets: Snap a picture of your receipt or open it on your screen, and Dot Copilot will organize the data into a neat spreadsheet for expense tracking.

4. Custom Commands: Set up commands like “Add to my to-do” or “Draft an email” to simplify repetitive tasks. You decide how Dot Copilot works for you.

5. Social Media Engagement: Generate engaging comments for Reddit, LinkedIn, X (Twitter), and Facebook, and get help replying to chats on WhatsApp, Telegram, Line, and more.

Feel free to leave a comment or join Dot Copilot's community to talk with us.
> LLMs aren't the golden bullet the article hints at. Sure they are improving, but the cost is not falling. It costs a huge amount to create foundation models, and there will be a point where either we have a breakthrough (ie we move from sequence generation to concept synthesis) or the money runs out.

Very, very few use cases require training a new model. The vast majority can be solved by inferencing existing models, where it is absolutely true that inference costs are steadily declining.

Seriously? Cloning Amazon is not equivalent to cloning a frontend...
I don't see cooling in pictures.

How can it keep an RTX 5090 reasonably cooled?

Of course... I'm not saying it's easy. I personally have no idea how to even start (I suppose scholars that study consciousness will have more of a clue). I'm just saying I think it's very relevant.

> It’s purely an ecosystem play imho. It benefits the kind of people who will go on to make potentially cool things and will stay loyal.

It will be massive for research labs. Most academics have to jump through a lot of hoops to get to play with not just CUDA, but also GPUDirect/RDMA/Infiniband etc. If you get older/donated hardware, you may have a large cluster but not newer features.
> AGI will not eliminate economics and capitalism - we can have a big philosophical discussion here, but honestly, this is a bit over my current grasp of what is possible - so let’s limit this to something tangible.

And yet this is actually the most interesting point to discuss.
What happens if, as OpenAI seems to believe, million of AI agents will fill up the job market globally? What kind of disruption will inevitably happen to the dynamics of capitalistic society if you add a virtually free, or at least "ethically cheaper" workforce to the people that are only trained enough to do these kind of jobs?
There is no serious talks of UBI that are anhwhere near reaching feasibility, especially in a country like the US where anything like this would immediately be flagged as socialism or communism.

The only thing that seems realistic in the meantime is a quantum leap of inequalities, with AI being the perfect catalyst for the 0.1% to get to a never-before-seen global elite status, with everyone else from middle class down crushed and struggling to buy even groceries.

This is a direct consequence on the economy and could unfold very quickly. Every solution to the problem, on the other hand, could only works as a long-term set of policies that will constantly clash against ideological positions and collective action issues.

The only optimistic glimpse of hope I still have is that Sam Altman is fundamentally a salesman, and most of the claims we're hearing are just meant to pump and pump before an inevitable, massive dump.

In other words, give a global crisis ignited by the AI bubble pop, rather then whatever else could come if AI actually succeeded to the level its main proponents would like it to.
