Postmodernism is not the foundational religion of the far left, whatever that means. To the extent that any philosophy is that, it is Marxism, a kind of modernism. Postmodernism is explicitly and inherently anti-Marxist.

I think postmodernism and post-structuralism have useful things to say around map-territory relationships, but the extreme "there is no objective reality" form of postmodernism is plainly false. And I share your concern about public perception of GMOs being wrong.

I'd recommend checking out Simulacra and Simulation by Baudrillard. There are deep insights there about how society has replaced ground-level (i.e. objective) truths with symbols and signs, and there's a lot of discussion about map-territory relationships in there. You might enjoy it!

> If you ask me why this will take time, my argument is that effectively wielding an LLM for coding requires broad knowledge.

This is a problem that the Computer Science departments of the world have been solving. I think that the "good" departments already go for the "broad knowledge" of theory, systems with a balance between the trendy and timeless.
Would you say the same for OpenAI releasing new models?
Good to know that our AI overlords will be built as cheaply as possible. If there's one thing I can't stand about bondage it's inefficiency.
Thank you so much for linking me to that! I think an `aider stats`-type command would be really cool (it would be cool to calculate stats based activity since the first aider commit or all-time commits of the repo).
No… mostly.

They developed their “zero” model, which (they claim) is a from-scratch model. Base models are typically not fine-tuned for particular applications (eg chat).

They trained their Zero model into a Chat+Reasoning model, which is what is attracting news.

They ALSO fine-tuned small Qwen models using their big models as a teacher (distillation technique).
> ammonia-based life form at our stage of exploration is probably gonna scoff at the idea of scaldingly hot liquid water

Ammonia-based life exists within water habitable zones; Mars is within our Sun’s conservative habitable zone [1]. (Also, “ammonia boils at 98°C instead of –33°C” at “60 atm, for example, which is below the pressures available on Jupiter or Venus,” meaning “ammonia-based life need not necessarily be low-temperature” [2].)

One reason to suspect ammonia-based life is rarer than carbon-based life is the universe contains a fifth of the nitrogen that it does carbon [3]. (This is why silicon-based life is also almost written off.)

Hi, What happened to https://store.app/ ?
That was also an exciting launch on HN. I kept checking it for a while to see if there is a way yet to filter offline first apps. Any plans to do that?
Oops, you're right. I forgot stuff like `MOVE.L #0,Dn` is restricted to data registers. So this must be the way to go, every time a NULL pointer is needed...
How does that even work? Does the phone just never truly power down? Can they track it even if they battery is dead?
It seems like the alternative is to allow anyone with just the master password to get access to your vault. That doesn't seem so great.

I'm on 1Password and it's basically a 2FA setup there too: to register a device, you need to have the master password (what you know) and the secret key (what you have, randomly generated at vault creation). Losing my phone isn't a big deal because I have 1Password on multiple devices, each with a copy of the secret key, so there's pretty good hedging there.

I also carry a physical Yubikey, which grants me passwordless access to my email account (assuming I know the PIN to unlock the hardware, which I do). That's probably overkill for most people, but that's another layer of hedging too.
I can't prove it, but I believe that everyone on this planet believes at least one thing false or something that can't be proven.

I'm concerned, but not about that. Division concerns me. Balanced compassion for self and others is the only solution I can think of.

>Simply ban discussions of some well-defined topics that tend to stir up controversies and heated discussion (even though "one side may be clearly right").

Yup. One of my favored options, if you are running your own community. There are some topics that just increase conflict and are unresolvable without very active referee work. (Religion, Politics, Sex, Identity)

2) This is fine ? Ah, you are considering a platform like Meta, who has to give space to everyone. Dont know on this one, too many conflicting ways this can go.

3) One thing not discussed enough, is how moderating affects mods. Your experience is alien to what most users go through, since you see the 1-3% of crap others don't see. Mental health is a genuine issue for mods, with PTSD being a real risk if you are on one of the gore/child porn queues.

These options to a degree are discussed and being considered. At the cost of being a broken record, more "normal" users need to see the other side of community running.

Theres MANY issues with the layman idea of Freespeech, its hitting real issues when it comes to online spaces and the free for all meeting of minds we have going on.

There are some amazing things that come out of it, like people learning entirely new dance moves, food or ideas. The dark parts need actual engagement, and need more people in threads like this who can chime in with their experiences, and get others down into the weeds and problem solving.

I really believe that we will have to come up with a new agreement on what is "ok" when it comes to speech, and part of it is going to be realizing that we want freespeech because it enables a fair market place of ideas. Or something else. I would rather it happen ground up, rather than top down.
The teeny tiny "Fill" button is the dumbest thing I have ever seen in a UI overhaul. A total misunderstanding of how their own product is used.
That is what I am struggling to understand about the hype. I regularly use them to generate new simd. Other than a few edge cases (issues around handling of nan values, order of argument for corresponding ops, availability of new avx512f intrinsics), they are pretty good at converting. The names of very intrinsics are very similar from simd to another.
The very self-explanatory nature of the intrinsics names and having similar apis from simd to another makes this somewhat expected result given what they can already accomplish.

I know people who saw Trump's first presidency as a shock to the system that would ultimately return us to the norm - much like an AED shocks the heart out of arrhythmia and back to normal beating. This was especially true after Jan 6 and many Republicans turning on him in the immediate aftermath.

However, just a few weeks later, as the Republican party resumed their Trump worship, it seemed pretty clear the damage was permanent.

My take is it's not even an economic problem. Unless you fly really fast (like Mach 3++), flying east sucks.

Let's assume we have a plane capable of Mach 3+: the SR-71 holds a record for flying from NYC to London in 1h54 and it could do well over Mach 3. Let's assume our plane can do the same in 2 hours.

If you take off from NYC at 10am, you will land at 5pm local time in London. Sure it's a lot faster than a regular flight but you didn't gain as much as flying west bound.

With the same 2 hour flight (because when you fly that high, wind doesn't make such a big difference), you could leave London at 10am and land in NYC at 7am local time, that's so much better.

But that's for a plane doing Mach 3+. Boom is planning to fly slower than Concorde (Mach 1.7 vs Mach 2.02).

Concorde did that in 3 hours FYI.
I e experienced a few “gotchas” using uv (or uvx) as a command runner, but when it works (which is most of the time) it’s a big time saver. As a Python dev and curious person my homedir is littered with shallow clones and one-off directories for testing some package or another, and not having to manage this overhead is really useful.

OP, you have a great idea and I’m stealing it. Do you use some non-.py suffix, or is seeing the exec bit at on a .py file enough of a signal for you to know that you can just run the file as a script (and it won’t use the system Python)?

Lots of people have that luxury. They get some money, put it in the bank, and get paid for it. Even better, they put it in the stock market, and make even more money, solely for the privilege of having money. They don't even need to put in any effort in the trading; they can just pay somebody to do it, for a small fee.

Retirees do it. Some people are born into it. A lot more people could, if they chose to: billionaires work because they like the work, not because they need to "justify their existence".

Personally, I'd be all for paying writers a salary to write, and then have their works put into the public domain. Pay 'em enough that they can eventually afford to retire. But there are a few bugs to work out in figuring out where the money should come from and where it should go to, if we're giving the books away for free.
For anything where I can set/reset the PIN with the card already in possession (which is pretty much everything it seems), I just have an algorithm I use based off of the actual card details, so I never have to memorize anything.

Simply wrap with what you were trying to do when the error occurred (and only that, no speculating what the error could be or indicate). If you do this down the call stack, you end up with a progressive chain of detail with strings you can grep for. For example, something like "processing users index: listing users: consulting redis cache: no route to host" is great. Just use `fmt.Errorf("some wrapping: %w", err)` the whole way up. It has all the detail you want with none of the detail you don't need.

I do use a desktop environment. I don't use many additional productivity tools, though, and that is likely why I have a blind spot about that part of the software market.

My question was more geared towards the seeming lack of a robust software ecosystem (i.e., there appears to be at most one leading product in each category, with one or two alternatives), to whit:
- there's Xcode/VSCode.
- Photoshop/GIMP.
- Sublime Text
- not sure about DAW software - the field has changed since I was involved

Tesla did not rank worse. The article could not find anything bad to say about Tesla's actual practices, so they scrounged some stuff up like "having AI means Tesla bad" and put in the Tesla statement that removing connectivity stops your ability to get software updates — well, yeah... They neglected to mention that any data Tesla collects does not identify you — even better than that, it does not even identify the specific vehicle. They do have the ability to go back and forensically get data for a specific car in special situations (accidents needing investigation for example) but they are so far ahead in privacy it's a joke that the article tried to portray it otherwise.

Why would he bring up what he views as hypocrisy of members of this community when they espouse the view that it is not censorship when a private entity censors one view point(something they disagree with) but stays silent(viewed as tacitly agreeing) when there is outrage over viewpoints being removed that those members agree with.

IMO, it adds more to the conversation than all the comments the dog-piled with "It's not censorship because it's not the government".

>What would a definition of censorship be that includes private entities?

Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication, or other information. This may be done on the basis that such material is considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or "inconvenient". Censorship can be conducted by governments and private institutions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship

Censorship, the suppression of words, images, or ideas that are "offensive," happens whenever some people succeed in imposing their personal political or moral values on others. Censorship can be carried out by the government as well as private pressure groups. https://www.aclu.org/documents/what-censorship

Censorship, the changing or the suppression or prohibition of speech or writing that is deemed subversive of the common good. It occurs in all manifestations of authority to some degree, but in modern times it has been of special importance in its relation to government and the rule of law.
https://www.britannica.com/topic/censorship

I would ask you if you can link to a definition of censorship that only calls out the government? Aside from XKCD's terrible comic. https://xkcd.com/1357/
Sure, but don't lose sight of the fact that female insecurity has been leveraged and marketed to as well, for pretty much forever. Fashion, makeup, beauty standards -- flip through a magazine and look at the ads, and think about what the ads are suggesting the reader needs or would benefit from, and further think about whether the reader will be more or less insecure afterwards.

(And male insecurity has always been a target. Don't let that bully kick sand at you at the beach! But I agree that the targeting has recently been vastly more tuned and optimized and the most egregious forms have become socially acceptable.)
>almost more frightening because it shows their contempt for reasonableness, for lack of a better term.

I think another way to look at it is willful nonconformance and rejection of mainstream values (and judgement). Not unlike gutter punks dressing the way they did.

This assumes that prompts do not evolve to the point where grandma can mutter some words to AI that produces an app that solves a problem. Prompts are an art form and a friction point to great results. Was only some months before reasoning models that CoT prompts where state of the art. Reasoning models take that friction away.

Thinking it out even further, programming languages will likely go away altogether as ultimately they're just human interfaces to machine language.

It's weak, but I don't know if trivial is the right word. Like a bedroom lock, it does what it needs to do. First, the lock is probably there to make it easier for one remote security guy to monitor many locations after hours. They can be alerted when a door opens, has been ajar for a while and along with a camera, see what's going on. Other than that, you also want a lock to help keep the door closed to help keep climate control working efficiently, keep animals out, etc. Like I had been alluding to, when you rent a unit, you're told that you are responsible for locking your own unit with a specific, harder, lock, like a front door lock. If an attacker can get by this lock, entrance to the premises would have been possible as well.

On that note, I don't think the absence of a super strong lock on the front door of a storage place invites criminals. I live near open air storage facilities where anyone can just walk up to the units, like they're walking by cars on the street or in a parking lot. Thefts from storage units are just not big enough of an issue to require additional measures.
