That's my approach and I've never seen anyone else doing it. Many years ago I lost my local changes, I don't even remember why. HDD failure or something like that. Ever since, at the end of the work day, I just commit "m" or "WIP" or something more meaningful, but I get it out before closing my laptop. Then, once I'm done with the the draft PR, I fetch the latest changes, reset hard and write a nice story with commits. This way I don't ever lose my changes, I can write a nice git history and I can iterate over the changes fast.
Using status code 418 (I'm a teapot), while cute, actually works against you since even well behaved bots don't know how to handle it and thus might not treat it as a permanent status causing them to try to recrawl again later.

Plus you'll want to allow access to /robots.txt.

Of course, if they're hammering new connections, then automatically adding temporary firewall rules if the user agent requests anything but /robots.txt might be the easiest solution. Well or just stick Cloudflare in front of everything.

My claim isn't that static typing is harder in general:

>... it tends to mean enormous pain when making small obvious fixes to past mistakes, and you really don't want to block those. It just makes everything harder in the long term.

It's that not making fixes is harder in the long term. That means either manual migrations or automated ones (e.g. API-compatible ones are trivially automation-friendly). And the more difficult you make the migration, the less likely people are to migrate (which I don't think is a contentious claim).

Static typing is great, but it does generally mean more full-automation-unfriendly migrations, because it's forcing you to see and make decisions on more kinds of changed assertions. Generally that's a very good thing, but it does add some struggles that looser typing can simply ignore and sometimes still succeed.
In my case I couldn’t get Rust working and ran into strange compilation issues with linker errors with the MacOS standard libraries. Tried installing them from Nix which fixed some problems but caused other ones.

Everything just worked outside of the Nix environment so ended up dropping it.

Approachable Open Source
Of course the overwhelming majority of American do have one of those forms of coverage. You might as well argue American don't have housing or food either since most people need aren't on welfare programs to pay for them.

Over 90 percent of people on ACA plans get subsidies too. Also emergency treatment is guaranteed.

It's certainly a mess of a system, but every time the government does something to "fit" it, the price goes up faster and it becomes a bigger mess.
Maybe so but I bet you 90% of the code you were running was already written because it was in a library right? So you didn't really have to understand it. You were just running someone elses code.

With Nostr, for example (or even RSS), you can fully understand it from end to end, in minutes. As a former IPFS deloper myself I can assure you in just 2 days you didn't even understand the CAR format of a repo, unless you had prior experience.
That's a good point but there is also a lot more passive consumption than actual interaction.

Also, AI video's IQ is generally pretty low now, but it still has the capacity to create very tailored experiences, such as with AI influencers automatically responding to every single comment from any viewer that donates X dollars. The are limitations to the digital avatars and video generation etc., but they are already very engaging. And in the next 1-3 years they will get much better.

Where we are headed in possibly 2-5 years is the expectation for many people that the personalities, activities, videos in general are completely customized for them or for the communities they are in. And change immediately based on their whims (or constrained by more realistic humanlike reactions if desired).

LTX video can be fine-tuned to produce a consistent character and runs at realtime frame rates. It is a tiny 2b model and it's understanding of prompts and the world is garbage because of that, but hardware and models keep getting much much better.

Slightly off topic, but if I'm aiming to get the fastest 'make -jN' for some random C project (such as the kernel) should I set N = #P [threads] + #E, or just the #P, or something else? Basically, is there a case where using the E cores slows a compile down? Or is power management a factor?

I timed it on the single Intel machine I have access to with E-cores and setting N = #P + #E was in fact the fastest, but I wonder if that's a general rule.
> a wider bus width is required for larger memory counts

Most video cards wire up 32 data pins to each memory chip. But GDDR chips already have full support for running 16 pins to each chip. And DDR commonly goes down to 4 data pins per chip.

The latest GDDR7 chips are 24Gbit, and at 16 bits each you could fit 48GB onto a nice easy 256 bit bus, with a speed of at least 1TB/s. If you use 384 bits and/or send 8 to each chip, you can cram in so many chips it becomes a matter of fitting everything.

> This presumes that proto-bees had stingers that killed them before being super organisms, so that the obvious survival disadvantage that dying after a successful attack brings was compensated by the hive life rather than by surviving the sting.

I don't see how you arrived at this conclusion, this logic seems to be flawed.

Of course it can be an explanation for a trait. If you are genetically predisposed to high cholesterol, is that advantageous or disadvantageous? There's simply too little pressure to do anything about it.

Phenotypes aren't required to change in the smallest imaginable step. It's not implausible that nature decided "hey this next bee gets some furry yellow stripes, but also barbs" and here we are.

Not everything is optimal in the extreme. For all we know there have been many, many bees without barbs, but the bar to pass that on as an advantage is very high. The odds of a bee reproducing aren't even that high to begin with.

Weird thing to note, my understanding is that at least in the US, the accident rate and overall cost for claims in Auto has gone up substantially post COVID.

Nobody's quite sure how much of it is the extended time not driving, knock-on effects of isolation, or something else [0], but it -is- something insurance companies are paying attention to from various angles.

Another factor less noted, is the challenge of insuring various parties against 'nuclear verdicts' [1], at least as far as 'is the world becoming becoming uninsurable'...

South Korea is a country you do not wish to enter and commit crimes.

South Korea is also a country you do not wish to enter without travel insurance.

The Swede made some risky choices that compounded, and it ended up costing him his life.

It sounds like his death was entirely preventable by modern standards, but we forget that South Korea is just another country that does not admit anyone into their hospitals. I'm fairly sure the list of these countries is longer than we think. Just like there are countries with cheap holiday flight tickets where going to prison is entirely unsafe.

o1 appears to not be able to see it's own reasoning traces. Or it's own context is potentially being summarized to deal with the cost of giving access to all those chain of thought traces and the chat history. This breaks the computational expressivity or chain of thought, which supports universal (general) reasoning if you have reliable access to the things you've thought, and is threshold circuit (TC0) or bounded parallel pattern matcher when not.
Note that you do not need error correction for quantum computing. You only need it for digital quantum computing. There's a separate branch, analog quantum computing, that is also very promising.

Ugh, reading that gave my flashbacks to clubhouse moderation, how one person blocking you would prevent you from seeing any room they were speaking in, how you get silently kicked from a room if someone who blocked you is upgraded from audience to speaker, and if someone who has you blocked joins a room you’re already in, cue Fred Armison, believe it or not, straight to jail!

Worst of all this was all opaque to the user on both ends, manifesting as merely glitchy behavior, but I was causal in blocking people who annoyed me because I didn’t think there were any consequences besides not being able to follow/DM me, and this guy I didn’t know ended up contacting a mutual friend begging me to unblock them because I had suddenly excluded them from all the rooms that we were both spending time in!

Maybe there needs to be more nuance in the block button, like, what kind of restraining order are you looking for here, don’t call me? Or don’t ever interact with me or my friends ever again? Platform needs to make consequences of hitting that button clear tho.

It's useful for grid storage. Very large amounts of hydrogen are already stored in salt domes[0]. Current salt domes have volumes in the range of hundreds of cubic kilometers and can support pressures around 50-150 bar, translating into storage of thousands of tons of hydrogen. Along the texas gulf coast, there are hydrogen storage facilities that each store enough hydrogen to translate to around 100 GWh chemical energy. Being able to convert that chemical energy with 40% end to end efficiency means one site could store 40 GWh. In comparison, in 2023 the entire world had only around 56-200 GWh of battery storage capacity[1] installed.

> I see the demand for being able to produce content with 0 effort, but where is the demand to consume it coming from?

There isn't one. The only type of people excited about AI content are people who are into AI, and see it as the aforementioned way to produce potentially algorithmically driven viral content with no skills or effort. And, with anything as unpredictable as various content platform's algorithms, and especially when it's initially starting out, there will be successes, simply by the law of averages. However, no one, and I do mean absolutely no one, is seeking out AI content beyond for the notion of maybe seeing what it's like for it's own sake. People comment regularly on TikTok and elsewhere about how they find the AI voices grating, they dislike the AI captions that don't match what's actually said, and we have ample history of content farms turning out repetitive, odd nonsense that people have already become incredibly sick of... which is basically what you're guaranteed to get when you have an AI generate a TikTok for you, because of both the weight of those videos in the training data, and because of how these models work.

For those in the know, there's been substantial trends going back a decade now of low effort, slop content being driven further and further into irrelevance because for every hundred lazy grindset people trying to generate income, you have one person who knows things and has studied them, who has insight to offer, and figures out the remaining parts by trial and error; how to shoot video well, how to light a set, all of that. And those people naturally move to the top of engagement. You might, MIGHT, catch early accounts or new users who haven't found interesting people yet... but the algorithms on most of these sites, paradoxically, are going to identify those interests and then drive users towards more interesting people talking about them, because that's what the vast majority of users want.

It doesn't need to be important, or like... pillars of civilization type knowledge, this applies to any topic you can think of, no matter how insipid you think it might be. If I was interested in collector Barbie dolls, would that algorithm draw me towards a video of a Barbie enthusiast who owns hundreds of them and has studied the topic to death, or to a content mill churning out detritus of some AI generated Barbie-girl woman, talking in TikTok narrator voice, about how her dolls are so cool and neat? And like, sure, maybe you can make the AI video thing so good that it can reproduce the same room, the same presenter, with perfect features and clarity hosting a collection of dolls you somehow manage to keep in the AI's memory, all of that is difficult, but solvable, in theory anyway. How do you give your AI presenter with her AI dolls anything even remotely interesting to say about the dolls she doesn't collect, in the room that doesn't exist?

> What does it matter if they are doing that with a mouse or with a keyboard?

It happens to matter a lot, in large part by a cognitive principle that most programmers should know, but very few do: recognition vs recall.

Text prompts in general are much harder to use because the user needs to remember the name of the command they need to type, which is a cognitive task way more difficult that recognizing the shape of a UI control with a recognizable command name on it.

> What, like this doesn't happen with GUI applications?

You're right that GUIs are not immune to terrible design, I still remember when open source developers but UIs for their software that were mere a front-end layout of the command line, and you needed to understand in full the inner workings of the app to use the UI.

However nowadays anyone who builds GUIs for a living has been trained in the principles of usability and has some knowledge of mental models and putting user needs upfront, so that style is avoided by everybody but the most isolated do-it-yourself programmers.

Skymont is an improvement but...

Skymont area efficiency should be compared to Zen 5C on 3nm. It has higher IPC, SMT with dual decoders - one for each thread, and full rate AVX-512 execution.

AMD didn't have major difficulties in scaling down their SMT cores to achieve similar performance per area. But Intel went with different approach. At the cost of having different ISA support on each core in consumer devices and having to produce an SMT version of their P cores for servers anyway.
Power management is a factor because the cores "steal" power from each other. However the E-cores are more efficient so slowing down P-cores and giving some of their power to the E-cores increases the efficiency and performance of the chip overall. In general you're better off using all the cores.
> Then you wait and see if Amazon stops.

That’s if the requests are actually coming from Amazon, which seems very unlikely given some of the details in the post (rotating user agents, residential IPs, seemingly not interpreting robots.txt). The Amazon bot should come from known Amazon IP ranges and respect robots.txt. An Amazon engineer confirmed it in another comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42751729

The blog post mentions things like changing user agent strings, ignoring robots.txt, and residential IP blocks. If the only thing that matches Amazon is the “AmazonBot”
