(I get the joke that for some definition of real-time this is real-time).

The reason why I use an API is because time to first byte is the most important metric in the apps I'm working on.

That aside, kudos for the great work and I'm sure one day the latency on this will be super low as well.

Sure, but small amounts of radiation are beneficial. And those early organisms would eventually ahve to move to the shallows and land and deal with all the masked radiation at some point. It's all speculation, we really have no idea whether it was vents-first or not.

The same impulses of MAGA culture warriors to protect US history against "woke" is explored here. Our cultural icons are all flawed, because they're human, but examining them critically is very hard because we project so much on them. Navigating this moment is very hard because of "cancel culture" and "anti-cancel culture". We can't and shouldn't erase these men (and it's overwhelmingly men) from history, but trying to add any nuance or criticality to their story is very difficult in our current moment.

> but it simply is not larger than the collection of knowledge accessible via any first-world public library

How do you know or can quantify this? At a first approximation, libraries are finite in space while the internet is (for the purposes of this discussion) infinite. I'd agree with you if you had said something like Wikipedia was bigger than libgen (and probably not even then, as Wikipedia is merely a summary of primary sources, which would be theoretically contained in libgen).
> the position of advocating against all copyright protections at all only makes sense for people who are already wealthy enough that they don't need proceeds from their art to survive.

This makes it sound like the majority of people produce more content than they consume.

The reality is that 99.99999% of people do not produce "art", let alone with the intention of living of it.

Whatever harms you might envision for the tiny minority who do want to try living off copyright, those concerns are dwarfed by the benefits for the rest of us.

Further, not many people who are serious about reform are literally "advocating against all copyright" A reform that simply curbed the duration to something less insane than 150 years would resolve much of what makes copyright bad, even if it continued to exist.
i think that "we all want to get high on drugs" situations, like festivals, are actually a lot better. it's about personal choice.

They probably do this already. But the problem is more fundamental: there are simply no process guarantees or guardrails inside a generative model to constrain the failure modes.

I come from a rather traditional background and when I first read that book, the womanizing parts really put me off and I actually never finished reading the book.

There are a few layers to this worth considering.

- In this world the information delivered to agents should align with content delivered visibly to the human web. This is essentially how the bulk of SEO overloading is detected. There needs to be a way to validate this and establish trust - completely solvable. These techniques penalize these schemes from the outset. (this is probably not the best forum to go too deep into that)

- We're assuming agents have full buying decisions here. I do not believe we will see that as common place for a long time. Even if we did, the same systems for PCA compliance are in play and the interfaces pushed by both payment gateways and shopping carts protect against duplicate purchase attempts. Those attempting to abuse this fall more into the malicious actor camp.

- phishing and malicious actors are going to do what they have always done. There are some very important security, access control, and compliance measures we should put in place for the most sensitive of actions - as we always have where most existing ones still apply. The agent experience and the ecosystem in general will have to evolve to have verifiable trust patterns. So that when a human delegates to an agent to do something, the human can have confidence and ways to validate interactions.

I'll be the first to admit that I don't have all of the answers here but with agents becoming the new entry point or delegation tool for the next generation of digital users, these are questions we have to answer and solve for. It starts by focusing the industry around the domain of this problem, that is AX. How to do it effectively and what needs to evolve to achieve it... that's where the work is.
From a practical stand point, as someone who moved from the US to Europe, and was forced to leave a lot of appliances behind (not because of voltage - that could have been addressed!), f*ck this!

I think the root of the problem is actually an org design problem.

Big companies want consistency in their process and their hires. There's a lot of benefits if you can create a Google type hiring pipeline you're just constantly interviewing candidates and you worry about where they go once they've passed the interview, like:

- Since all candidates at the same level are passing essentially the same interview you can move people from team to team easier. You reduce the risk of a team with lower standards causing you problems when their engineers are moved to other places in the company. You know that most of your hires have a certain consistency in their skills. This makes things like reorgs a lot easier.

- Your recruiters and hiring managers save time because in most cases they don't need to meet to set up unique hiring pipelines per team. You just have one big hiring pipeline and teams with open spots only step in at the last minute.

- You reduce the risk of being sued for bias or discrimination. If interviewers are just pulling from a bank of questions that are somewhat equal it's hard for a candidate to make a case that they were singled out and given a tougher question because of their identity.

The problem with that is that consistency breeds predictability. The only way to get a big pool of interview questions that are about the same difficulty is by repeating the same patterns between questions. Once candidates know those patterns, candidates can just focus their studying on that and the interview just boils down to pattern matching.
It started as a side project.

They may not match the rate of upstream development, but doing their own thing is going to be a faster path to their goal of Rust in the kernel than trying to convince everyone else to do something that they don’t seem to want.
There are other countries than the US though and if rightsholders wish to sue, lawsuits can happen there too.

Several EU countries, Switzerland, South Korea, Japan, etc. are viable countries to sue from. Even in Japan which has a law specifically permitting training on copyrighted material you must still obtain it legally-- i.e. you must license it.
Higher Voltage: Less conductor material needed, smaller wires. But need more spacing inside electronics to prevent arcing, and it becomes more zappy to humans. Also becomes harder to work with over 1kV as silicon kind of hits a limit around there.

Higher Frequency: Things that use electricity can be made smaller. But losses in long transmission become much worse.

DC instead of AC: Lower losses in transmission, don't need as much spacing inside electronics for arcing. But harder and less efficient to convert to different voltages.
Avoiding repetition is a core principle here. It applies to every topic.

I've written extensively in the last few days explaining the moderation approach to cases like this. Let me dig up some links for you...

Edit: here's one post that covers the basics: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42911011. If you (or anyone) want further explanation, here are links that cover some of the principles we're applying here:

major ongoing topic - https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

significant new information - https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...

political overlap - https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...

curiosity vs. repetition - https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...

turning off flags - https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

All we're doing is applying those principles the way we usually do. That doesn't mean we make every individual call correctly—we definitely don't. (I wrote about that recently here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42787306.) But the principles are stable, and as far as I know they're the right ones for HN.

If people want us to change how we moderate, it's not enough to demand that we unflag more stories about a specific $Topic that some users feel strongly about. That argument doesn't work because there is always such a $Topic going on.

Rather, you'd need to argue either that we're not following our principles, or that they're the wrong principles (and in that case propose better ones). I'd personally be very interested in such arguments; like anyone who has worked hard on a problem for years, I'd be both surprised and gratified to learn about a better solution. We just need to be talking about the same problem. In HN's case, the problem is how to optimize an open web forum for intellectual curiosity (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...).

DOOM on Google Sheets
That’s very true. When I was looking for my jobs in 2023 and again last year, it’s a shit show out there trying to find remote software development jobs if even all you are looking for are regularly old enterprise CRUD jobs. That was my “Plan B” both times.

I was lucky that even before COVID around 2017 my goal was to work in strategic cloud consulting focusing on app development (ie not staff aug) because that was the only way I could see making above local market wages without having to commute and even back then most of those jobs were remote with travel.

But then again, if you don’t have to worry about moving somewhere with a “good school system” because you have kids, why not move somewhere closer to the job?
Power line losses are proportional to I^2R so whether its DC or AC isn't really the concern. V=IR so assuming R is constant, a higher transmission voltage results in exponentially lower power losses. DC is actually whats currently used for long distances to achieve lowest power line losses (HVDC).
Definitely interesting to read both sides. I think they both present compelling arguments. There's a need to ensure stability with the kernel and avoid interference with outside forces. I suppose balancing that principle with eventual change is an inevitable difficulty.

Same, when for TikTok specifically their innovation was quite minor- no one (besides Vine) had built a short content video feed that was designed for engagement vs. social qualities- the Instagram feed at the time still had social elements in the algorithm.

This applies to every level of technical innovation (AI, cough cough)- that the super-hyperbolistic language hides the fundamental dynamics.

I think in this case it was the last straw that breaks the illusion that "social" apps are based on IRL 1:1 interactions. TikTok is an app designed around capturing an audience with a series of 30 second videos.
Me and my closest friend stay in near constant touch through text messages (whatsapp).

We know we can call each other on phone any time of any day and the other would nt mind one bit about their routine or focus being disturbed.

Still we plan our calls a week in advance and only have calls once every few months.

Part of the reason must be that async but near-instant communication afforded by messaging apps is enough for 90% of the needs.

Of course this reduces the intimacy of having a real conversation but we are introverts anyway.
> If AI actually starts replacing jobs, society is going to collapse/restructure to the point that risk management no longer applies.

Once more, with feeling: automation has continued to replace jobs. That's why you aren't currently toiling in a field to eke out a meagre subsistence living. If AI starts to replace jobs (a statement made true if a single job is replaced by AI) then likely the good or service that fronts that job will become slightly cheaper, or the same.
> We all know his stance on C++, for instance.

Yeah, but that's because Linux was actually built with g++ for a few versions! The opinion was informed by experience, not an a priori thing. And it was likewise extremely controversial at the time. And eventually they rolled it back out and gave up.

Maybe that will happen with Rust too, or maybe not. But The Process, such as it is, is working today the same way it always has. They try stuff and fight about it, and eventually a winner is clear and a consensus emerges. And, yeah, there are losers, too.

Note how I didn't say that protests don't happen in the UK. They obviously do. But the problem is that now that effectively every protest has been made illegal due to the fluid definition of what "disruptive" means, the enforcement is arbitrary. Just stop oil protesters? Thrown in jail. Protesting in front of the Chinese embassy? Carry on. That's the problem with the broad legislation in the UK - government wants to have the power to spy on everyone, but obviously it doesn't mean everyone will be spied on. Just people who do something the government doesn't like.
Even in lower education, as a student I hated word problems. Partly, I just wanted to be told what equation to solve. In retrospect, though, I think a lot of it was the framing.

It was always presented as some variation of short exposition followed by a question. The question was usually framed as an outside observer asking for some fact about the story.

Think of the classic "A train leaves station A headed west at 6:30 traveling at 30 miles an hour. A second train leaves another station at 7 traveling 50 miles an hour. When do they pass each other?". There's no problem here to solve. Who cares when they pass each other? Why do we care?

Sure, a little exposition helps build up analysis and application skills, but it doesn't actually offer much in the way of engagement.
Most of the public has jobs based upon IP? While it is probably a bigger share than farming, I doubt that. The actual drivers appear to be a mixture of hysteria, and reflexive anti-corporate sentiment as we see even self-proclaimed leftists going "WTF, I love copyright now!".

Would scrypt solve this problem? Or is it same as bcrypt? Or is scrypt depending on the hardware?
Rust's panics are recoverable, so they're more like exceptions. This means that you may need to care about "unwind" safety and values in a potentially invalid state. It's the main reason for mutex poisoning and having to deal with it when locking.

Overall, I'm not entirely sure if Rust would be better or not if panics were non-recoverable.

PS: For completeness, there are flags to control the panic behavior; but you can't rely on them when writing a lib.
If you're a small company you can't afford to fire people. The cost in lost productivity is immense, so termination is a last resort.

Likewise with hiring; at a small company you're looking to fill an immediate need and are losing money every day the role isn't filled. You wouldn't bring in every viable candidate, you'd bring in the first viable candidate.

FAANG hiring practices assume a budget far past any exit point in your mind.

I'm not going to argue that the exact rates are justified, but chances are the person you're replying to was referring to psilocybin assisted therapy in clinical settings. So someone would be signing up to pay for having at least one therapist oversee the process, if not physicians and other staff as well. Factor in their time, operating costs, insurance, etc. it shouldn't be a surprise that the legal option will cost considerably more than buying mushrooms in a paper bag :)
I thought about using Google maps street view photos for something like that, get all the photos for a city, and then classify how much trash is visible, and also calculate how many people there are and what they're doing.

My idea, at least from living in New York, is that if there are a medium amount of people walking around, and not that many people just sitting there or leaning against a building, and there isn't a ton of trash visible, then it is probably a pretty good neighborhood.

If there is nobody, or a ton of people, or if the people aren't mobile, or if there's a lot of trash, then it is probably not a neighborhood that I would like.

You could probably also use business types for that. Like, I would not want to live in a neighborhood that has a ton of pawn shops or churches in it.

My pet theory is that mathematics is largely taught by people who enjoy math, and who see math as a puzzle game with rules you follow to solve puzzles. Kind of like people who are addicted to sudoku or wordle.

Therefore it is taught from this totally abstract perspective and just hooks others who like the game of math. Whereas I think math would have a much greater impact if it was taught from an engineering or science perspective, where math is a tool used to explore the world rather than as something that would be a game you find on the back page of the newspaper.

Probably just Berkson's paradox https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkson%27s_paradox
SSRIs are by no means safe or well-tolerated. They have all sorts of severe, life-altering, mostly permanent side effects: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_serotonin_reuptake_i...

There are countless heartbreaking stories of people who were prescribed these drugs not knowing what they were subscribing to. In many cases, the effects of those drugs are worse than the symptoms they are supposed to alleviate. With "I Don't Wanna Be Me" there's even a song by Type O Negative (from Peter Steele's own experience with Prozac) about the devastating effects SSRIs can have on a person's life.

These drugs are handed out like candy while the physicians prescribing them often point-blank deny any side effects or even attribute those to the illness they are meant to treat.

Psychedelics, on the other hand, have actually been proven to be effective for many syndromes SSRIs are commonly used for and by comparison are very safe when used with proper preparation, medical surveillance, and in the right setting.

The only reason psychedelics are still widely shunned is a Puritan attitude to human well-being: You're not supposed to feel better than the common neutral base level. Any drugs achieving that (alongside with other, more specific and intended medical effects) are maligned and ostracized.
