Well we could argue that this support for trillions of IP addresses is nice, except that IPv6 does not technically work in interplanetary environments due to various hardcoded timeouts.

The first martians are likely to run their own local network and then use a VPN over DTN for their everyday communications by email (and appear coming from a single IPv6 address).

One good thing though: since most of the humanity’s knowledge is going to be packed in an LLM they won’t really actually need internet to learn about things. But lack of videos may be annoying.
I wish EU at least make mandate that from the moment someone stop providing security updates they have to provide some key to unlock bootloader etc and even for those iPhone that are not supported anymore. Those devices like e.g. iPhone X are still super powerful and they could be used for other purposes if we could install linux on them. They could be a much powerful version or raspberry pi with nicer form but with touchscreen, gps, 4g, wifi, bluetooth, cameras, microphones, imu, speakers, battery, audiojack/connector.
However you feel about her wording in this case, Kara Swisher is definitely a journalist, not a “journalist.”
What is that used for? Was looking at the documentation but I'm still without understanding the use case they are trying to solve.

Isn't multicasting something already available with UDP or Point-to-Point connections without a single network envolved?
In 1888, the mothers and any kids old enough to help had essentially full-time jobs with the housework. And mandatory education stopped much younger than today, IIRC from 10 to 14 depending on the country (assuming they had mandatory education at all, which some didn't), so they had more time than you may expect for helping with the household.

There were mechanical washing machines and vaccum cleaners back then, even before electricity, but even that was all harder work than now.
In my experience, I had to give about 100/yr to havea relatively good device foor my needs. I could choose to buy a cheap thing every year, or 600 every 6; for similar Performance. I prefer to change device no so often. 2 years is just too short.
I'm guessing "Luigi" is another way of saying "murder" now, so "self-murder" means "suicide".
I thought the differences in grey/white matter in male/female brains were known. I remember hearing about this all the way back in 2005.

Edit:
Well I feel like a fool. I opened up and read past the headline. This article is specifically about the differences in babies and acknowledges known differences in adults.

> Sex differences in human brain anatomy have been well-documented, though remain significantly underexplored during early development.
Celebrity exceptions are exactly that; exceptions. Those people knew an opportunity when they had one, and were able to generalize their early successes into other domains by leveraging the financial, social, and intellectual capital they accumulated. People who fit this description aren’t the ones reading this thread.

In some fields all you need is a computer and an idea to be impactful, but in plenty of other fields you’d be hard pressed to make any credible, let alone meaningful impact without significant intellectual preparation and tacit knowledge. These things only come through experience, and for many people, the PhD program is that experience.
> It only supports the fact that data amount/quality is not the problem.

I agree with that. I.e., for

"drive competently."

the way humans learn it is more general, i.e., also brings the list I gave with bycycles, pizza, grass mowing, etc.

Also

"drive competently."

the way humans do it requires a lot of judgment, maturity which is not very well defined!

Guys, I don't understand how to make progress on AI. E.g., just asked X > Grok "similitude", and it gave a good answer, maybe like a long dictionary answer. But it looked like Grok had some some impressive plagiarism -- I can't tell the difference.

Ah yes, the specific structure of WPE's ownership is sufficient reason to move away from them -- but the behaviour and structure of WP's ownership isnt...
This still reflects badly on the leader:

- Stuff going on you're not aware of?

- Things spiraling out of control/becoming self-directed?

- You forgetting what you did or said a few months/years ago, and getting mad on others in consequence?

- Your intentions not well understood?

All of this is on you (the leader). That's reason for resignation.

The behavior around it is just childish IMO. I wonder how this affects him being able to do his job.

Dude has gone full Elon at this point. Why hasn’t WP 86’d this guy?
Context is important but it takes about two weeks to build a context collection bot and integrate it into slack. The hard part is not technical, AIs can rapidly build a company specific and continually updated knowledge base, it's political. Getting a drug company to let you tap slack and email and docs etc is dauntingly difficult.
So the probabilities would be skewed towards something, but unless the model could somehow count/infer its own weights, I don't see how it could "introspect" to see if something is more common than something else.
That's really nice, such a good idea.

Over the last 15 years the browser has become more and more of an application delivery platform, and that notion has caused SaaS to run basically everything.

I realised this not too long ago, and incidentally it was due to gantt software.

We, like everyone it seems, use Jira for issue tracking, but the actual roadmapping of resources and dependencies leaves a lot to be desired, tools like Microsoft Project are not only prohibitively expensive- they also don't work on MacOS.

Similar issues can be levied at Omnigraph.

Only SaaS tools like "InstaGantt" seem to fit the bill of cross-platform, lightweight and reasonably cost effective.

Note: I'm currently not using Instagantt, despite it being the closest to good I could find, because I dislike subscriptions. :(

They forego the customers (like you) least likely to be vulnerable to soft-touch upselling, yes.
After listening to his interview on JRE, it sounds like the Biden administration came down on him hard during Covid and then when he didn’t _fully_ fall in line they threw the machine at him with a large number of government investigations. This is a much bigger machine than exists in Brazil and India. I think Zuck realized they were not on his team anymore and walked over to the other side.

The same thing seems to happen to musk.
> The problem is that this approach creates divisive politics.

No, this approach is making the existing division visible. The other approach is to politely ignore it and not talk about it, if you are anti racist be silent about what you see. Allow them to promote its politics and representants, do not object, do not point out to the obvious.

And that is pretty much how abortion protections got removed - "reasonable mainstream" was mocked for telling the truth and supposed to pretend republicans do not plan to destroy them until it was inevitable.
Not really. OP needs to build executables. It is documented here: https://blog.djhaskin.com/blog/release-common-lisp-on-your-f...

Every science documentary I've watched tells me most physicists want to ditch "dark energy" because it's a placeholder term for something we still don't understand yet. Map-makers didn't actually believe there were dragons after all.
Is this recursive satire?
The submission title is edited in a questionable way. Specially that the original one is not clickbait and does fit in the title letters limit.

There is a world of difference between " These Physicists Want to Ditch Dark Energy " and " Physicists Want to Ditch Dark Energy". One is about new model from some physicists and the other implying a conciseness around ditching dark energy.

edit: I didn't know that there is automatic re-write rules for HN. However the fact that the edited title is clickbait now regardless the reason. Just clarifying in case of this is considered an attack on the submitter.

The article says "It includes constructing a port, ammonia and hydrogen production plants and thousands of electricity generation units near Paranal."
I'm also a huge fan of games that use a standard deck. I absolutely love Regicide for example, which can be purchased with an original deck (the art is nice) but plays with any 52-card deck.
As an aside, I find Zuck's newish Ceasarian look quite amusing.

Is he serious? Or being deliberately ironic? Or making some kind of statement on Trump?

Amusing either way, though like many here, I secretly prefer to laugh at him than with him.
Agree, but I think in this case would not help. It was not that a version was lost, but all. Had they had VC, probably the repo would have been deleted.
Not so much a surprise as it is contentious. It makes it harder to accept the statement "Trans women are women", for example.
I agree, I think it's not a deep insight, but Thiel notes (in his 'zero to one' speech he gave) that Google actively pretends not to be a search advertising monopoly, and instead pretends to be a competitive technology company, in a wide range of technology fields, to "hide" their monopoly.

Thiel is openly advocating monopolies, and says competition is for losers.

I think he's just calling GOOG out for their marketing, and noting their market strategy to deflect attention away from their monopoly.

I, for one, have never heard anyone publicly mention this besides Thiel. Have you?

(Right-Nulled) Generalised LR Parsing
I’m not sure that I agree with the article.

In the course of my work, I think of an invariant as a state that must hold true at all points during the software’s execution.

For example, “port xxx must never accept inbound traffic”.

I don’t think of invariants as mindsets; I think of them as runtime requirements that are observable and testable at any point during execution, and whose violation is an indication that some assumption about state that the proper execution of the software depends on, no longer holds.

Maybe a good analogy would be “a runtime assert”.
I liked the concept for also the reason that such 2nd hand market for modules would be great for DIY and arduino and raspberry pi like projects. Such phones could have a second life for other purposes or at least some parts could have second life.

They mentioned some difficulty and bulkiness but then I wish such concept has been applied for tablets that we change less often and have more space.

Yes, and for image and video generation too.

Ask HN: Did OpenAI "just" convert all input to voice for direct voice output?
One of the (many) things that came out of OpenAI’s announcements last year was the massive improvement in their voice API. This improvement evidently comes from going straight to voice output (i.e. not converting between voice input and text on either end).

Am I massively over simplifying or is it possible that they just took all the text input, ran it through whisper at training time, and did an otherwise “normal” training run?

It can’t be this simple, right? I’m assuming I just don’t know enough to know how wrong I am.

[EDIT] Before someone asks, I did ask ChatGPT this question and what it spit out is roughly what a I would characterize as the title, but obviously I can’t falsify it —- ChatGPT currently knows more about AI than I do

Why would anyone need to have expertise in a topic to be allowed to say anything? Sounds like a very dark path to walk to just ban discussion on a topic.
I think we should probably just let people discuss it, and study it, and find out what the truth is, whatever that might be. A conclusion reached before considering the evidence isn’t really a conclusion.

Edit: but now I see that this thread has disappeared from the front page, so I guess letting people discuss it is off the table…
Yeah, that gave me the idea. The use case is slightly different: flip wants needs to be re-oriented repeatedly, whereas the spar would benefit if its ballast would remain in place without maintenance.
I appreciate how the article questions a simplistic narrative for the obesity epidemic narrative but offers a simplistic justification in place. Let's be real: something is clearly off on how we consume food. Walk into any supermarket and just look at the shelf space: fresh produce gets a sliver compared to mountains of processed, packaged foods. It's not about blaming individuals either, it's about acknowledging the food environment and reason about if we really wanna keep going this direction or not. BMI upward trend is undeniable, and so is the link between higher BMIs and serious health problems like diabetes and heart disease. We can't ignore these facts.

In my opinion our collective diet is very bad and a big part of it is due to how cheap sugar has become. Just as we regulate alcohol, we need stricter controls on added sugar. If you want to indulge in sweets or sugary drinks, fine, but it shouldn't be the default option staring you in the face at every checkout.

Sounds like he just created a Slack channel where people could chit-chat about "sustainability" much like they chat about football or ESports.

Then he found out these guys actually spend all their working lives implementing plugins that do little more than display "Your site needed 0.04663kg of CO2 to run this year" next to a green leaf.

Seeing how they spent 1,5 years on this and have little more to show than "concepts of a plan" he was right to shut this down.

That's how one would normally do it, and that's what I would expect to see: Build for development, and the compiler only errors out if things are so bad that it's unable emit a binary (for everything else, it emits warnings). Build for release, and it errors out unless EVERYTHING is done right.

Unfortunately, ever since golang decided on an autocratic and backwards "there are no warnings, only errors" policy, others have started to sip from the same kool aid jar.
It's still important though, they are the ones many are expecting to lead the industry (whether that's an accurate expectation is surely up for debate).
Being well-educated and well-connected doesn't necessarily mean you aren't great. The Sutherland boys were famously hanging out with Edmund Berkeley at his computer lab while they were still children, thanks to their mum knowing Berkeley through the General Semantics scene https://spectrum.ieee.org/sketchpad https://archive.computerhistory.org/resources/access/text/20... . It was also luck, as well as skill, that got Ivan enjoying sole use of the gigantic, cutting-edge TX-2 for hours every week in the early '60s. You nevertheless still have to hand it to him for creating flipping Sketchpad https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sketchpad in 1963 at the age of 24. On the other hand, Ivan Sutherland had created Sketchpad before he turned 25.
I think i had similar case yesterday for Python script. It gave me code for older version of a module, but when i pasted the error i got, it corrected itself and gave me proper solution for version i had installed.
One approach is use auto while coding, auto convert to full types when finalizing/commiting except where they hurt readability.
now that's just diabolical...
I think modularity made more sense in an area where significant performance gains happened in hardware every 6 months. It makes very little sense with a 6+ year horizon -- at that point you're upgrading everything anyway.

Now, modularity is really a right-to-repair issue, not anything that provides a meaningful benefit to upgrading. And for that things just need to be "modular" enough to repair by a specialist.
Does it? Nobody's arguing that trans women are female.
The hifiberry documentation is a mess. Let’s say you want to get rid of your Sonos system and start at zero with a Pi (it’s not my first one)… which features could be replaced by hb? What hardware should I buy? Which licenses?

I think maybe you've understood. The study doesn't say that all birth-assigned male brains are larger than all birth-assigned female brains. There's still variety within the group, with lots of girls with larger brains than lots of boys.
Yeah, that's plausible. Maybe it could just be empty, and have concrete pumped into it on deployment.

Fun to speculate about, but no doubt there's a problem with that too!
Happiness is also problematic as it tends toward the shallow and unsatisfying.

Top Megaprojects of 2025 [video]
The customer who just wants to put in their CC# and buy the product isn't a pipeline customer. You can't come back to that customer every other quarter and take them out for golf and pump them for additional services based on the "strength" of your relationship. You don't have any opportunity to make an in-person upsell pitch at the customer who just wants to put in their CC# and go.

In-person sales work at least in part because salesbros are trained to handle and overcome objections. They do it in many ways, and most of those ways take advantage of the fact that people by and large tend to want to act agreeable and kind to each other kind of by default. If you opt for the in-person meeting, the salesbro knows they have the opportunity to guilt or nudge or suggest you into buying additional services, or a longer service agreement, or a higher SLA, or whatever.

So, OP isn't the customer because they're announcing they're not interested in the dance. Many (not all!) IT vendors prefer the dance because it makes more money.

I say this as a former presales engineer for EMC (before it was EMC/DELL), serving large enterprise named accounts in the Houston area. If my boss saw me in the office, he'd kick me out and tell me I should be out taking clients out to lunch or to Astros games or whatever. I spent probably $2-3k/week on entertainment, and it was basically imaginary money to EMC, because if me and my salesbro blew $20-30k hooking a client, we were going to be doing it on a $2-3 million Symmetrix deal with 70-80% margin.

So yeah. OP isn't a customer because they don't want to play, and (most, not all!) companies can extract more revenue out of customers who DO play.
Four Big Questions for the Counter-Revolution
> You seem to be assuming that the rapid progress in AI will suddenly stop.

And you seem to assume that it will just continue for 5 years. We've already seen the plateau start. OpenAI has tacitly acknowledged that they don't know how to make a next generation model, and have been working on stepwise iteration for almost 2 years now.

Why should we project the rapid growth of 2021–2023 5 years into the future? It seems far more reasonable to project the growth of 2023–2025, which has been fast but not earth-shattering, and then also factor in the second derivative we've seen in that time and assume that it will actually continue to slow from here.
what a fantastic article. I wonder, is the dumped marshal platform independent or does it only work for the machine it was evaluated on?
I'm not a physicist but both dark energy and dark matter have a definite whiff of 'luminiferous aether' imho.

Of course they're just placeholders for things we don't understand, but my guess is that they are not any form of energy or matter at all, but a misunderstanding of the geometry of space or something similar.
I disagree with the author based on timelines and VC behaviour. There is sufficient time to create a product and raise massive capital before the next massive breakthrough hands the value back to OpenAI/Google/Anthropic/MS. Secondly the execution of a solution in a vertical is sufficiently differentiating that even if the underlying problem could be solved by a next gen model there's very little reason to believe it will be. Big Cos don't have the interest to attack niches while there are billion user markets to go after. So don't build "photo share with AI", build "plant fungus photo share for farmers".
Beware! That website makes sounds :-|

Also it should be equated to a wilderness fort. A fortress it was not.
A simpler theory might go like this: Musk and Zuck both want to be richer, and both want a government that regulates, investigates, and fines them less.

The Republicans are the team you want to play on. There doesn't need to be any retribution or payback or realizations or switching sides.

It's a money play, simple.

If the Democrats could come up with a plausible pro-business strategy (and they could), it might not be such as easy choice.
Does Ruby come with YJIT by default now or do I still have to compile Ruby with YJIT flag?
Oops, sorry! I have my sound turned off.
Yes it's called boiling the frog + shifting the Overton window. Threatening to invade allies, or having an unelected halftrillionaire direct the government of the US and openly push for regime change across Western Europe (to give two examples from just the past week), would be unthinkable in 2015. Now it's just "oh there's this guy again, anyway what's on" / "mild political irritation".

So yes, you're right that it's a bad strategy to keep the alarmism on 11 for a decade (because this normalisation is what eventually happens), but wrong to think that it's not actually a true problem.
Or maybe it may be related to trans people having a brain structure more similar to the other sex at birth. The article talks about the median results, it doesn't state that all new born male brains have those features, but that the median brain have them.
