I’ve had a vastly different experience. Several trips in the last year with 30 minutes+ to drop a bag and a couple closer to an hour. That’s enough to move the needle on when I feel like I can show up to the airport.

Baggage claim is usually pretty quick but even 5-10 minutes sucks after flying.

I’ve also had 2 bags fail to make it with my plane meaning I had to wait 24 hours for a courier to deliver them. It also makes connecting or flight changes much more dicey.

I definitely think I’ve been unlucky recently but the fact that I could be unlucky is why I avoid it as much as possible
Research towards curing diseases has a clear potential benefit. The continued minting of nickels and pennies does not.
VMs are great for coarse isolation ("dev box", "web surfing", etc). A typical qubesos workstation would have a handful.

In the setup I linked, separation is more fine-grained. Ephemeral container for each cargo/nodejs/python/go/gcc process. The IDE is in a separate container from its own language servers, and from the shell, which is separate from both the X server and the terminal window, the ssh agent, etc. Only relevant directories are shared. This runs my devenv with vscode fine on a 16GB RAM 8c machine.

You'd need like 1T RAM and over 9000 cores to have that run smoothly with real VMs ;)

Basically containers can give you far more domains (with better performance and weaker isolation) on the same host.

The other upside is that the entire containerized setup can be run as unprivileged user. So an escape means they are still nerfed local user. A typical VM escape would have much shorter path to local root.
is still online? I would like to play to remember my good old days!
Great thread, thanks. This is kind of what I was thinking and makes the most sense. That this is a play to block OpenAI plans to go full for-profit.
Is it already 1997 again?
Realms matter. I don't really feel that holding terms hostage between hardware and software worlds is worth much energy.

People that know enough to care will know within 1 second what the article is about.

"Soft real-time" is probably the correct term here, but that is actually more confusing for 99% of people.

"Interactive" is not descriptive. "Duplex" is certainly not obvious.
I disagree. Wealth accumulation is absolutely a good thing. Elon does good things. EVs, rockets, Starlink, Neuralink etc. This is stuff that people want. More capital is allocated to good things when the same person can manage more capital. Elon's wealth is mostly in the things he has built himself.

In addition, Elon isn't even that rich, when compared to other entities, which aren't a singular person. As an example, BlackRock manages over $10 trillion of assets (that's 30x compared to Elon), see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_asset_management_firms

Elon is not the richest entity in the world, and he doesn't have any special powers to bludgeon anything, like none of these large companies have, unless they do some weird market manipulation tricks (which should be illegal anyway).
I have VirtualBox VM of Lion. I use that for making 32 bit x86 builds of TXR for older Macs. (I ssh out to the Compile Farm for M1 on newer MacOS.)
> If they had a reputation for committing those homicides in Europe, that seems sensible.

Reputation?

Are we deciding security policies by reputation or statistics?

I think I'd win the bet of "Americans have killed more people (per capita) in other countries than Saudis have", so it does seem relevant to be more wary of them. Especially given how widespread the former has been, compared to a few incidents with the latter.

> If you really believe ... I don't know what to tell you.

That does seem evident, yes.

> Although it's interesting that the same people who would take that position seem to also argue that colorblindness is actually a sin if it's done while processing a college application.

Oh I thought that was a C99 addition? It's been a while since I've used them.

Edit: struggling to find a source, though this GCC doc suggests it's C99 (but maybe that's only GCC?) - https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Designated-Inits.html
To me it seems to have very little to do with his antics. Surely inflation, market saturation, and increased competition is more probable?
It depends if the plane is pressurized or not. There's no xray or other security theater for turbo prop flights.

Human-ness of AI: The case for runtime learning
idk but action speaks better than anything else.
I played on a fantastic MUD as a kid. It was based on the code for some other MUD, and the admins were unhappy about some things, so they decided to write their own MUD engine from scratch. They got as far as establishing a network connection to a client - all network code written in scratch from C - before they burned themselves out and quit, which pretty much killed the MUD too.
What continues to amaze me is the continued lack of real-time detection "enterprise" products have on even n-day discoveries like this. Even five days passed disclosure, we still have very limited IOC signaling:

The stock has certainly responded, although only time will tell if it'll return to a more sensible valuation.

My guess is that this robotaxi launch will make or break the company. If the product looks like any other first-gen driverless service, Tesla is screwed.

The price to upgrade all those older Teslas is gonna be gigantic and the company is already heavily scrutinized for their lackadaisical approach to QA and safety.
Where can we find your MUD?
Stock is betting on VP Musk continuing to pull up the ladder for all the EV competitors. Tesla CEO Musk got his fed grants to build out his charger network, now it's time to make sure no one else does so his remains on top.

Downvote if you must, but the man knows how to protect his moats while branding it "ending wasteful government spending".
But, same thing when you never reproduce builds (just build once and treat as gold master, same thing) So that's a minor value.

Build reproducibility has other values, like the virtue of basic determinism. That answers the question of why would we want to reproduce a build?

If you /can't/ build the exact same thing twice, down to the bit, how do you know that, say, a compiler isn't doing something funny based on an uninitialized variable?

To check reproducible builds against regression, we can't always be caching. Someone has to actually build everything at least twice (ideally more times) and verify that they match. And this has to be done forever; if you don't build multiple times and check, you will not catch a regression in reproducibility.
> compared to other entities, which aren't a singular person

And you're seriously arguing that that's not a pretty important difference?

> he doesn't have any special powers to bludgeon anything

I've seen him described in all kinds of ways, but "without special powers" is a first.
What did you think of Boryspil?
I suppose it depends on your application. I worked in embedded devices where stack was limited and the compiler was .... less than reliable about how it would manage passing a large struct to your function, which is why I mentioned passing in a pointer instead
I know hundreds of people are trying to codify musks legacy at this point.

>Tesla has been objectively a hugely successful investment in terms of performance

But the only thing he cant dance out of is that he is an absolutely impressive showman. I mean even in the emails OpenAI released, he very talked his way into a controlling interest in OpenAI.

I just feel like, heaps of Tesla investors are going to be left holding the bags when the shine wears off.

That said, if I saw a story about Musk wising up a little bit and hiring someone to rejuvenate his PR I would probably spread some money amongst all of his businesses.
Interesting shift from speed to cost-savings and from web app development to AI-native apps.

"But as Vercel's customers started using the serverless platform to build AI apps, they realized they were wasting computing resources while awaiting a response from the model. Traditional servers understand how to manage idle resources, but in serverless platforms like Vercel's "the problem is that you have that computer just waiting for a very long time and while you're claiming that space of memory, the customer is indeed paying," Rauch said.

Fluid Compute gets around this problem by introducing what the company is calling "in-function concurrency," which "allows a single instance to handle multiple invocations by utilizing idle time spent waiting for backend responses," Vercel said in a blog post last October announcing a beta version of the technology. "Basically, you're treating it more like a server when you need it," Rauch said.

Suno was one of Fluid Compute's beta testers, and saw "upwards of 40% cost savings on function workloads," Rauch said. Depending on the app, other customers could see even greater savings without having to change their app's configuration, he said."
He has none most likely, and if he does it’ll be some garbage sourced from Adrian Zenz.
And no auditable rules, just "whatever sounded like the next word to append to the interaction document."
Actually doing it would be a very new thing, and could be inflationary (since the US doesn't have a 2c coin). Imagine prices and change being rounded (up) to the nearest nickel. [0] says Trump doesn't have the legal authority to order the Treasury to do this, that power rests with Congress. I can't see that happening when inflation is already a big issue. (Euro 1-cent and 2-cent coins are made of copper-covered steel, so I don't even see any necessity for Trump's decision.)

- If this actually happened it could be worse than the (temporary) inflation caused in Europe when the Euro was adopted at the start of 1999; due to the exchange rate, merchants in Germany and Greece rounded up prices. But this would be worse, the Euro had 1-cent and 2-cent coins, whereas the US would be moving the lowest-denomination from 1c to 5c. Canada abolished its 1p coin in 2012. Mexico's lowest-denomination coin today is 50 centavos (~ USD $0.024) [1]

- Also, phasing out the penny could result in needing to make more nickels, and the US Treasury Department loses far more money on every nickel than it does on every penny: each nickel costs 13.8 cents (11c production costs + 2.8c of administrative and distribution costs). [2] And nickels are heavy and bulky to carry compared to dimes. So imagine if the lowest-denomination coin people moved to using was 10c. Ya think that wouldn't be inflationary?? (Or moving to electronic ap-based payment for everything like in China, which US consumers are resistant to.)

Unless it ends up like the Twitter situation and he is forced to put the money up.
Whether or not it’s a good idea doesn’t mean that it’s good to bypass the legislature.

These initiatives are more about trying to assert absolute authority in people’s minds more than anything else.

By choosing something that people might agree with he is subtly getting the public to allow him to have unchecked authority in other areas.
From the first release? A lot. It is much much smarter and multi modal.
This is blowing my mind. That's really cool.
It looks great, might try it out. I've been researching RSS clients recently because I feel pigeonholed into doing something that feels like a right of passage for HNers: making my own RSS reader because of one specific niche not met by any existing options

That one specific feature that I'm looking for is a reader that lets you use "tags" instead of "categories". I'd like to have a "podcasts" and a "mushrooms" category without being forced to choose which of the two buckets a "podcast about mushrooms" needs to go into

The OPML standard supports duplicate outlines but that can get messy since many readers just straight up ignore that and duplicating an outline for each basterdized category-tag-thing
> even though he personally values free speech and other liberal values

I don’t think there’s any reasonable evidence of this, given he has sued media matters for publishing factual information, and even encouraged AGs to open criminal investigations.

Musk has absolutely no respect for free speech. He regularly uses the power of the government to punish anyone that dares criticize him. He makes a mockery of free speech.
Using BlackRock as a comparison is really disingenuous. They're basically a Vanguard. They hold assets as trustee for the actual owners of the wealth. BlackRock and Vanguard can't wake up one day and decide to put in a bid for OpenAI because of some personal vendetta.

You are confusing "assets under management" (AUM) with actual net worth. Blackrock's net worth is $43 billion, compared to $11 trillion in AUM, because 99.6% of the top-line number you chose is actually just client money. Musk, meanwhile, is around $400 billion, so you have the numbers backwards; Musk has about 10x the net worth of the nation's largest fund manager.
Hmm. I work in finance writing C++ and Java and I doubt other people in finance make 50-150% more than me because they know `q`.
My wife and I travel a lot as a hobby - well over a dozen times a year since Covid lifted.

For the frequent traveler who is loyal to an airline, a lot of those problems go away.

We are Delta loyalists and both Platinum Medallion.

1. When we buy a main cabin seat, we get upgraded immediately to Comfort+ for free.

2. When we go to the airport, if we don’t use curbside check in (and tip), we get to use the Sky Priority Checkin line and have two free checked bags

3. We have TSA Pre-Check and Clear to skip the line

4. After check-in, we head straight to the Delta, Amex Centurion or Priority Pass lounge where we have plenty of seating free food and drinks (alcoholic and non alcoholic)

5. When boarding, we get to board early because of our C+ upgrade (Zone 3) or worse case Zone 4 and have plenty of overhead space if we need it and get to be situated early.
It's a jobs program foremost. It's been fairly successful at that.

But with unemployment so low, it's not really useful any more.
The answer to your question is in the next sentence, "While the original codebase is MIT, any changes here are GPLv3. Supporting closed devices with this code is not a goal."
Sure, the answer to the question states that the host always opens a losing door.

The question does not state that. It's an assumption that was made in the answering.

If that's a premise, then yes, always switch.

If you only go by the question, there's not enough information.
I am one of these people! I am one of a handful of people who speak my ancestral language, Kiksht. I am lucky to be uniquely well-suited to this work, as I am (as far as I know) the lone person from my tribe whose academic research background is in linguistics, NLP, and ML. (We have, e.g., linguists, but very few computational linguists.)

So far I have not had that much luck getting the models to learn the Kiksht grammar and morphology via in-context learning, I think the model will have to be trained on the corpus to actually work for it. I think this mostly makes sense, since they have functionally nothing in common with western languages.

To illustrate the point a bit: the bulk of training data is still English, and in English, the semantics of a sentence are mainly derived from the specific order in which the words appear, mostly because it lost its cases some centuries ago. Its morphology is mainly "derivational" and mainly suffixal, meaning that words can be arbitrarily complicated by adding suffixes to them. So baked into English is word order that sometimes we insert words into sentences simply to make the word order sensible. e.g., when we say "it's raining outside", the "it's" refers to nothing at all—it is there entirely because the word order of English demands that it exists.

Kiksht in contrast is completely different. Its semantics are nearly entirely derived from triple-prefixal structure of (in particular) verbs. Word ordering almost does not matter. There are, like, 12 tenses, and some of them require both a prefix and a reflective suffix. Verbs are often 1 or 2 characters, and with the prefix structure, a single verb can often be a complete sentence. And so on.

I will continue working on this because I think it will eventually be of help. But right now the deep learning that has been most helpful to me has been to do things like computational typology. For example, discovering the "vowel inventory" of a language is shockingly hard. Languages have somewhat consistent consonants, but discovering all the varieties of `a` that one can say in a language is very hard, and deep learning is strangely good at it.
Elon did good things. And then it went to his head. Look at almost every tech billionaire today and how many good things they (aren’t) doing.

And the argument is moot anyway - he wasted tens of billions on Twitter. If he was doing good things (true scotsman) he would’ve built schools.
Oh yeah I can't wait for the AI to layout the UI in an arbitrary fashion, put buttons wherever the hell it feels like it (even in a place you can neither see nor click on.). Yes please, also I would like to automate the customer service for said product so it can be a complete black box of uselessness.
I think that's more of a concern for people who aren't genocidal maniacs out to destroy the species. Like I said, we already have examples of people who wanted to usher in an apocalypse, some of them even gave it the good old college try, but they lacked resources. If you gave Shoko Asahara a few hundred billion to play with, who knows what Aum would have come up with. At the very least their sarin would have been pure.
One security agent at Frankfurt would not allow me to take my toothpaste through Schengen security. I had many hours until my flight so I took my luggage (and toothpaste) back to the non-Schengen area and waited until that security agent took a break and then went through security. From what I could tell she told other agents about me (she talked to them each in turn and pointed at me while talking). None of them fussed over my toothpaste when I went through. I and felt like I won the FU lottery.
I think this is cool, but you should eliminate the possibility for squares to be empty. This is already significantly harder than Wordle because almost nobody is going to know the positions of games by heart (so you have to randomly guess in many cases). The possibility of blank spaces is just cruel to add on top of that inherent difficulty.
Corners of C: Entering the Twilight Zone of the C Compiler

For the individual I don't see much hope really.

The only hope, if there is one, is when people will become collectively enraged and dismantle the govt to a large extent (similar to the current attempt in USA) and not rely solely on fiat currency (another way the govt controls the populace).
The turning point for me is when that incident occurred with the boys stuck in the flooded cave in Thailand. Musk had his designers create a mini-submarine to rescue them... but it wasn't suitable. One of the cave divers who risked his life to rescue the boys made the mistake of saying Musk's sub was useless... so Musk called the diver "a pedo."

I have no idea how he got away with it, but Musk claimed that when he said "pedo" he didn't mean to suggest the diver was a pedophile. It was just a South African general insult without any connotation of pedophilia, he claimed. Since then, whenever I can, I describe Musk as a well-known pedo. Sue me.
There’s a lot to learn here. Many developers fall into this trap halfway through their careers. Spolsky would probably call these folks you’re talking about architect astronauts.
It was C99. It took C++ 21 years to copy it.
Well, C is not the same as C++. It even says in that doc that “this extension is not implemented in C++”.

> Great timing, go for them them just after they've suffered a horrible catastrophe

What if Denmark helped cause the catastrophe to drive the price down?

They could be part of the "globalist plot to wage economic warfare and deindustrialize the United States" that Alex Jones claims the California fires were part of, and that Elon Musk said is true.
With the newer scanners, you don’t have to take laptops out even without TSA pre check from what I have read. We have TSA Precheck so I can’t verify it.

I'm assuming whatever spending advantadge Dems had was more or less squandered the moment those billionaires got cold feet and decided to oust Joe Biden instead of relying on the incumbent vote. That disruption very likely scared off several donors.

But yes, there was also simply a lack of energy in the D voter base in 2024. No amount of spending can recover disengaged voters who simply dismissed everyone as "equally bad".
Why shouldn't it be free for frequent travelers then? If it has all these benefits, including lower overall cost, surely it makes sense to not disincentive its use by charging for it.
It wouldn't be so cringe if they talked about the technical side too. The article says nothing about what "tiny pointers" are. Andrew Krapivin doesn't have a GitHub with any code. His paper is gated so I can't read it. Do they expect me to venerate this kid on faith? We should be celebrating developers whose work is open source, but instead the establishment relegates them to the lowly thankless role of janitors. The only reason a pop science journo would write an article about an open source developer would be not to lionize them but rather put them in their place for a code of conduct violation.
One option could be to join something like this: https://haystacks.solargarden.org.au/
