I suspect automated manufacturing and automated maintenance of the manufacturing could lead to a world where the rich can afford to kill off the poor, and then over generations devolve into a society that has no knowledge of how the machine that is providing them with food and supplies works- without any ASI takeoff.
This only makes sense if you enjoy the English countryside.

I'm an Irishman. I grew up in the countryside, in the west, and spent 15 years living in London in my 20s and 30s. I can count on one hand the number of visits to the English countryside I made that weren't on the back of a motorcycle, and then, I didn't stop except for petrol.

The city is what I enjoyed, the chaos, the diversity, ambition, variety. No smaller city would be as good.

Some people don't mod games. I, for example, want to play (and enjoy and judge) exactly what the dev team intended, and if I don't like it, I drop the game. I played vanilla Skyrim, vanilla Minecraft, vanilla Stalker and many more games that are famous for their mod community.

But I'm also an Apple user and I mostly game on PlayStation, so it's probably just part of my personality somehow.

You will never get to n sufficiently large - chairs don't last that long. Even if a chair really is that haunted, it will have to be in a startup for 6 months before the money runs out (it will take that long to run out of money after the chair forces it on the bad track - if the startup runs out sooner it wasn't the chair at fault).
I would like to highlight the small bit of positive in the American system. I don't support the removal of abortion law, nor do I like mixing religion with politics. But, due to the system that exists in the USA, even though the government removed the right to abortion, the individual states can still support it and form their own laws around it. However, a similar situation in other countries would result in complete removal without any option.
Not worried about size on disk. That said, it's not just runtime overhead I am worried about, it is a handful of smaller risks that compound: Those include security risks, bugs in one section affecting something else, scope creep affecting time-to-fix-bugs, not everything is lazy-loaded so it will affect performance.

And like diggan said here, I like tools with focus, for example I choose to use one note taking app, one separate app to write code in, another app to chat with, and yet more apps for things like email, and SSH even though they are all text-centric apps and could be bundled into one and the same.

It's a 600B+ mixture of experts and yes it's described in the paper, GitHub, etc.
Yes, it was by far the least Apple thing I have ever seen on the platform. The onboarding was especially jarring and thoughtless. At one point it required that I speak out loud to my computer to continue, or to just stop the whole thing. I was in the middle of an office, and I have zero interest in ever talking to my computer even in private, hell no am I going to speak out loud. So Apple Intelligence remains half setup, and I won't bother to continue the experience anymore.

The lack of thought to include a "not now" like they do elsewhere shows how it's a real half-asses effort and management is just trying to get something, anything, out the door ASAP, utility or effectiveness be damned. If Jobs came back there would be several immediate firings of VPs and probably a C level or two. It's just absolutely chaotic and user hostile.
Given that most employees are underpaid at very-early stage startups with stock options it seems deliberate fraud is not common at all. Besides monetary compensation the "have a failed startup in the CV" argument doesn't seem a big draw either.

I don't see how VC funding is being syphoned away by fraudsters at all. Syphoned away by incompetence yes, not deliberate fraud.
I think the argument in favor of S3 is that there are many object storage services that implement an S3-compatible API. I know its not truly a web standard, but it is also something that a lot of people have standardized around.
Thing is, when you order a small PCB, the price difference between 1 and 20units is usually negligible, so I'd try to find the light sizes for all my friends cars :D

Truth is, aftermarket lights for cars (typical AliExpress or Amazon stuff) always focus on brightness, but never on quality. It's usual for taxi drivers to have aftermarket lights in the vehicle, so you can find your money or credit card more easily, but the light quality is always terrible. :P
>Energy is not scarce.

You're not even being pedantic. I could at least respect that. We're talking specifically about energy that can be used by human beings for comfort, manufacturing, and work. If it can't run your air conditioner or fabricate cheap baubles to keep the consumer economy going, then you're not even in the right conversation. And that kind of energy is scarce. "But but but what if we build a bunch of solar panels or windmills!!?!?!?" If we could magically have machines to harvest that technology, instead of having to resort to the modest quantities of machines we can actually build, then sure, energy wouldn't be scarce. But we don't have magic and we can't wish them into existence. There are limits. You might as well be talking about the black hole at the center of our galaxy, that's energy too. I'm hoping you're just missing the point and not a volunteer propagandist.
If you look towards companies like Rosco or Lee they have hundreds of options for just this application.

> wouldn't dream of spending money on equipment that wasn't absolutely essential

The issue is if they don't create a desirable work place, they will have trouble attracting and keeping talent. Further most of the luxury items pale in comparison to a single engineer's salary. E.g. 10 engineers with cushy job setup, or 11 engineers with a very lean one. The former may be more attractive to the kinds of engineers you want. The trick of course is identifying the talent, IMHO and IME this is why most startups don't make it.
> From a general consumer point of view? If it has AI,it's the latest and greatest. It's got to be better than something without AI.

What fraction of general consumers think this? 15%? 5%?

I have met zero that think this way, and I muck with the stuff a lot.

I think that executives feel this way but I don't think many of general consumers think having AI is the latest and greatest.
I think newlib requires a discussion of its own, and more generally, the concept of a "full" libc outside of a formal operating system.

To put it bluntly, newlib is an antisocial libc. It provides bare compileability of programs by implementing C and POSIX facilities atop a small set of system calls. However, in practice, it requires basically nothing to actually work. If you look at what it requires [1], you can see that virtually all of the system calls are allowed to do nothing but return an error. The only function that is actually shown to do something is sbrk which is a simple bump allocator, and even then it's only strongly recommended to work so that malloc also works since a lot of ordinary C programs use malloc. This says to me "get code to compile at all costs" with no concern for a wider environment (since there may be no "wider environment" in the first place).

More charitably, we can view newlib as a set of compatibility shims bridging hosted and freestanding C. This has a place, of course; there are C libraries that assume a hosted implementation but don't really need (all of) a hosted implementation.

This doesn't really apply to nostd Rust, and creating a set of "environment variables" that interoperate with nothing, just because you can, is kind of pointless when there's no O/S and no FFI involved. I explained more about why (IMO) core::env/alloc::env shouldn't exist in the other comment.

All that having been said, newlib does seem to sit in a position somewhere between core+alloc and full std in terms of Rust (std also includes networking). Maybe there is a need for FFI/C compatibility without networking? I can't say for sure, but I haven't needed it.

> Indians are some of the most racially nepotistic out there

I’ve heard this claim made often here but never observed it in real life. I think you and others who repeat this claim are confusing nepotism with just using one’s network to accelerate hiring. If someone happens to have a social or professional network mostly of one race, that doesn’t mean they’re automatically nepotistic when they draw from that network. Somehow this label rarely arises when white managers end up with mostly white teams. Why is that?
It is an arms race that will end poorly for everyone. Whatever the legit companies do to make their links work

Good guys send out email links -> Bad guys start sending out email links -> Security scanners start checking link contents

Good guys hide behind automatic POST -> Bad guys start hiding behind automatic POST -> Security scanners start checking behind automatic POST

Good guys hide behind button click (we are here) -> Bad guys start hiding behind button click -> Security scanners start checking behind button click

Good guys hide behind link that doesn't work until 10 minutes after sending -> ...

Good guys hide behind captcha -> ...

Good guys hide behind plain text code that has to be copy/pasted from email -> ...

Eventually the security scanners will be indistinguishable in function and intelligence from a human being.

Might as well just merge it with your personal AI assistant and it will do everything for you...including getting scammed by the bad guys.
Yeah. The whole “free Ross day one” wasn’t true. He did do it a day later though.
I wouldn't be so sure. Sam Altman has managed to post _a lot_ of interesting tweets about Donald Trump over the years, starting as far back as 2016, and they're all now getting reposted, sure to get Trump's attention. That's before we even mention Sam's beef with Musk (or rather the other way around). Just look at the contortions he's now putting himself through: https://x.com/sama/status/1882234406662000833. OpenAI could end up getting sidelined, if Stargate even happens at all - there's currently no money for it, according to Musk.
Show HN: Compare 10 WYSIWYG editors side-by-side
Being a mnemonic device it allows memories to be associated with the patterns. As such the number of memories is what's 'stored' and the storage capacity of the entire memories isn't defined/limited by it. There could also be multiple memories associated with the same pattern.
Your preferred metric is "time to chaos" I guess then?
That's the point here, running on very outdated hardware.
Same here. I feel like they are not used/tested in a real world scenario.

> It's the difference between an AI boot camp graduate and someone with an ML PhD. They might apply a sklearn function at the same speed, but as soon as complex problems appear, the former hits an unsurpassable wall.

I'm sure you're generalizing to make a point but I can assure you this is often not the case, I know several PhD's who have a very hard time dealing with real-world problems that any practical engineer would catch. There is a lot to be said for theory, but there is also a very hard limit.
Hey all - we frequently need to use wysiwyg editors for projects, and one thing we often get stuck on is previewing different ones to see how they work, what they look like, and if they fit the needs of our project.

To make this easier, we built a tool to compare different editors. With it you can:
- Quickly see a demo of 10 different editors
- Favourite or add them to a compare page to see them side-by-side
- Filter by certain licenses (e.g. MIT)
- Filter by editors that are “block based”

Would love your feedback here (especially if there are editors you want us to add). We also open-sourced the editors integration here: https://github.com/bitcomplete/labs-wysiwyg-editors
At this point, Liberty Phone / Librem 5 has an advantage of actually existing. We'll see what the future brings though :)

Pareto distribution can be expressed in mathematical terms. So what? That does not explain why a specific distribution should follow this rule.

I can't agree with this more. After having numerous problems with native android development before, I decided to give flutter a go recently for a mobile app idea I've been wanting to do.

After getting byzantine and seemingly unsolvable errors from flutter doctor and gradle for the 3rd time after completely reinstalling it every time, I just gave up and started making an app in tauri instead.

You’re making the same mistake others here are. People hire from their networks just like they hire referrals. If you worked in India or China or wherever, you probably know some talented people of those ethnicities just as a result of your experience. Using your network to hire those talented people is normal and not discriminatory. Everyone does it. Somehow Indians are singularly attacked for it on hacker news and all kinds of assumptions (like nepotism) are made with zero evidence.
>US should eventually have both lower production costs and energy use in consumer use of AI models

To be determined. PRC can shift compute costs by building cheaper energy. Also arguable they can drive hardware costs to be competitive - % of manufacturing cost of hardware is ~30-40%, PRC save 100s of billions not paying western IP and service fees with indigenous hardware depending on how much central gov wants to squeeze margins. Would not be surprised if they can roll out 4x-8x more 14nm for compute parity and still have cost advantage once they get domestic fabs up at scale.
Agreed. It was outdated at launch, but it's always nice fuel for the "What if ..?" conversations!
Even still in most cases leasing is what you want to do. Preferably in terms where they take care of maintenance (if the crankshaft fails inspection it doesn't increase your costs), and if "yours" is down you get a loaner. You probably want shared plane terms, not a plane that is all yours, and they provide trained pilots. There are lots of tax reasons this is better.

Buying a plane makes sense when it is your personal plane (and leasing your personal plane to the company is done - though the laws/ethics get weird) and you fly a lot. It also makes sense when you have several (though I don't know where the break even is). It make might sense for bragging rights, but generally your customers won't be as impressed as you think.
IIRC, Dijkstra's THE operating system for the Electrologica X8 was completed before the hardware was available. It was the first multitasking operating system (albeit with a fixed set of tasks) and the first use of semaphores. Supposedly the initial version only had trivial coding errors.
Seems to me that there needs to be a third-party validation authority:

1. It grants a seal/hologram to its members that can be put on products to communicate to the customers that the company takes security validation seriously. Otherwise, they can tell during the marketing presentation that they are not a member and risk making an adverse impression about the security of their product upon their customers (this idea has a dependency on the network-effect which can be hard to get during initial days).

2. Member companies, research companies and individual researchers pay annual membership fees that go towards the operating costs of this authority. The amount is reasonably small for individual researchers or small companies so that it is not a burden.

3. This authority mainly acts as custodian of bug bounties i.e. all bug bounty programs of members are published on its website and it is designated the authorized validator of bounty claims.

4. There is a disclosure framework that this authority, member companies and researchers sign up to.

5. Member companies agree to allow this authority to do the necessary testing of the validation of bounties without threat of suing it.

6. When a researcher finds a vulnerability, it reports the specifics to the authority, instead of risking consequences of legal issues due to any actions by themselves.

7. Upon successful validation, a small percentage of the bounty (e.g. 5 to 10%) goes to the authority and the rest of it is released to the researcher. This acts as an incentive for the authority to vigorously validate the reports.
The concern now is that, unlike when Posix was set in stone, threads exist.

Of course it is a path to clean energy. It's basically a perfect solution if you consider the whole cycle.

We have increasingly longer periods of surplus electricity from solar and wind. So much so that getting rid of the surplus is a growing problem!

Splitting water to hydrogen using this surplus electricity would basically be "free energy" that can be stored for years. And when you consume it, the emissions are clean water!

Sunshine becomes free energy and clean water. What could possibly compete with that?

I believe the main problem is that it will disrupt the current revenue structures in the energy industry, which makes it hard to get the ball rolling. Anyone currently making money from selling electricity will lose if it gets cheaper, and hydrogen can only make it cheaper.
I remember modding 10 years ago and it was a fucking mess. Not at all surprised if most people haven't.

Yes, this is the principle that violates the WFC algorithm and makes it no longer WFC

It is now just a procedural algorithm, which is faster than but loses some of the magic of what makes WFC _so good_.

You can tell by looking at the renders too, the before-and-after of both methods. The difference is incomparable.

That being said, it is cool as a runtime-optimized non-WFC WFC-approximating algorithm.
I often find that there's a lot of intense animosity towards windows and Microsoft, but a lot of their API design is vindicated by time. Environment variables can be typed and templated in NT, not to mention there's a namespaced config database (the registry, even if it's really verbose and strange). Plus msvc provides threadsafe versions of nearly every stslib function. I often hear new C/C++ developers lament the lack of POSIX compatibility with MSVC, but without a lot of consideration for what that actually means; they just want cross compatibility with C programs written in the 1990s
In my experience: all over. It's the company that teaches them not to screw up the important work.

It installs npm packages, it executes JS and TS code, it bundles code for front end, it runs tests. Plus it has a lot of random pieces related to this development, like integrated database access.

Compare it to node, npm, webpack, and jest, all in one, and whatever the guy dreams of. It's certainly fast and offers great DX, but I wouldn't bet on it to stay around for, say, 5 years.
