I've favorited this comment because it could easily pass for satire of certain types of comments on HN.
> I'm also convinced that the length of IPv6 addresses and the difficulty in typing them is a major reason for lack of adoption.

Possibly, but I think it's also that some aspects of IPv6 are just badly designed, and subsequent updates only fixed some of the issues.

SLAAC, for example, is godawful stupid. And while DHCPv6 exists to fix some of that, critical aspects of the protocol, like prefix delegation, are manually configured. This is beyond idiotic and makes things like subnets massively more difficult than they have any right to be.

SLAAC and PD combine to create the worst sin of all - flakiness. It's hard to figure out why IPv6 isn't working because everything is telling you it is (it "auto configured" a valid IP despite not having any actual route to anywhere else, so helpful! /s). If IPv6 was literally just "IPv4 but 128-bit addresses instead of 32-bit ones" it almost certainly would have been adopted en masse by now. But it isn't, it made things more fragile and harder to configure for no goddamn reason.

And of course you then have ISPs doing silly stuff, like my ISP only gives me a /64 so I literally can't use IPv6 on my network since I want VLAN isolation. 18446744073709551615 possible addresses are given to me yet dividing that up into 3-5 subnets is completely impossible. Fucking stupid protocol.
I'm biased as an employee, but who knows PDFs better than Adobe? Use their PDF text extraction API.
A timeline to bring them all together
The damage to the US’s global influence and stature. Whether that’s morally a good or bad thing is a separate question. There is no question the US has screwed over a lot of countries. But be aware that the Chinese will step into the void as they already have in Africa. And those countries may find themselves out of the frying pan and into the fire.
As bad as the USA is (and it’s pretty bad) it’s still better than China (though at the rate it’s digressing this may not be true for much longer).

Can you tell me which emulator you're using? I loved using the open source Wabbitemu on previous Android phones, but it seems to have been removed from the app store, so I can't install it on newer devices :-/
I work at a mag 7 company with teams of SWE who don’t use LLM for their work at all (because they suck and have data privacy issues) and some have successfully resisted having their work consumed into an LLM. We read docs and apply paradigms we have learned, we are fast at writing correct code and so it doesn’t offer any benefits.

Project owners don't really know what they are asking for half the time.. when they move the goal posts after the thing has been built and tested and ready for release * sigh

I'm not bitter obviously LOL
It's not perfect because every trip is often a bit different but compartmentalizing stuff that usually goes together (OK, I don't need my UK plug adapter if I'm going to California) helps a lot without having a checklist of every item. You want your essentials first aid kit, your standard chargers kit, your misc travel kit... goes a long way.
70k invested per year, I think I could be done in a decade.

I had a really good year where I just neglected to set my 401k up. So much money wasted on taxes.

I'm not really trying to retire in the US, I don't intend on having a family. I think a million or so, might be enough.

5% yield on 700k is 35k per year which is enough to live well in much of the world.
In Denmark for example the decimal and comma are reversed in meaning, so you would not have a Danish 100,000,004 because that is an obvious non-Danish number.
If you're not easily replaceable then the company has failed on some level.

This is why I think current org structures, and incentives, don't map properly to SWE and fuels this employment theater of "trust me I'm not a cog" => "trust me you are".

Don't know what an ideal arrangement would be, maybe SaaS is closer. Even then, still have to convince some 'cogs' to build your SaaS corp while you recoup 90% margins off their labor which is a fast path to class consciousness and we're back at square one!
Thanks for making this. It would help many.
Android phones have fewer issues with privacy and security than Apple phones. You can install a fully offline mapping application on Android and have it be your default navigation app. Unlike with iOS (which tells Apple everything you've installed and run), you don't have to tell anyone you installed it, and also unlike iOS (which sends all GPS data to Apple), you don't have to tell anyone your GPS location. Apple marketing saying they care about privacy doesn't make it true.
Could have just used an off-the-shelf CAS.

In an article like this I would have liked to see some mention of TAI (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Atomic_Time) as one of the alternatives to UTC. Unfortunately there are several different universal times. Apparently there's also a "Galileo System Time", for example.
Also the opioid epidemic actually did make benzos much harder to get. Atleast where I live, your primary doctor is very unlikely to prescribe them and instead will refer you to a psychiatrist. The people I know who were on Ambien or Atvian have been cut off.

I think the ADHD drugs are probably next. My conspiracy theory is too much of the professional class (including doctors) is using them regularly, so it's much hard to crack down on.
This is a solution I can get behind.
You left out the "for common algorithms like this" part of my comment. None of what you said applies to learning simple, well-established algorithms for software development. If it's history, biology, economics etc. then sure, be wary of LLM inaccuracies, but an algorithm is not something you can get wrong.

I don't personally know much about DHTs so I'll just use sorting as an example:

If an LLM exlains how a sorting algorithm works, and it explains why it fulfills certain properties about time complexity, stability, parallelizability etc. and backs those claims up with example code and mathematical derivations, then you can verify that you understand it by working through the logic yourself and implementing the code. If the LLM made a mistake in its explanation, then you won't be able to understand it because it's can't possibly make sense; the logic won't work out.

Also please don't perpetuate the statistical parrot interpretation of LLMs, that's not how they really work.
You mean capable of stable firehose throughput, similar to Go? State of the art GC research on state of the art VM? I wouldn't be surprised if Java had more money behind it than JS on the R&D & corporate backing side.
Chinese actions come with the same global political ambitions as the US foreign aid has. Don’t be naive as to their ends.

We are fundamentally at a loss here because of the dynamics of propaganda. Simply put more money is spent misinforming than informing and since this will always be the case due the the powerful incentives of population control, there will always be some degree of idiocracy happening. Short of probably redistributing all resources equally and eliminating the money and economic system we have that lead to these incentive structures.
A skillset problem, not knowing the ecosystem.
Saying fatherhood can be done with a few minutes a week indicates the speaker either doesn’t have children or had a terrible father.

Elon’s fatherhood performance shows how well a few minutes a week works. Of the 13 children, many dislike him. And those with children would know that it’s very hard to get your children to dislike you. You have to be royally insufferable.
Yes, and cyclists generally do, as do motorcyclists. It's kinda natural by the time you get up adulthood to assess your risk and behave accordingly (ie. lower speed, don't walk close to the edge etc) The difference with cars is they are not at risk and they can't even see/hear/feel the speed and impact they are having on others so their judgement is completely screwed. Many of them have never even experienced the road outside of a car.
It is ridiculous.

Many of the AI companies ride on the hype are being overvalued with idea that if we just fine-tune LLMs a bit more, a spark of consciousness will emerge.

It is not going to happen with this tech - I wish the LLM-AGI bubble would burst already.
Can you link to the comment specifically? This is just a link to the submission itself.

It’s exactly the case. Every room isn’t a home theater. We want the best quality for the home theater and “good enough” for the rest. To my surprise, others do notice the washed out effect of watching HDR content on an SDR TV, or worse the wrong colors when watching DV content on an SDR TV.

Acquiring, storing, and organizing multiple files for the same video is a hassle. Even more hassle is asking others to know which is the right one for that TV.
Make life require cars: more fatalities.

Seems pretty evident.

Arguably the conditions are better for personal electric vehicles and bicycles in Florida (than the comparatively frigid and rainy conditions of Sweden).

Even the topography is flat[0][1], it's literally the perfect place for cycling, but the US has chosen something else.

So, yes, if things are different they are different: comparable populations, a better climate and an equally flat topography and somehow 7x the amount of deaths; and the only difference is the approach to infrastructure by the county.

tl;dr: the Elm compiler has a hardcoded whitelist of projects allowed to use certain critical language features, and anyone who releases a fork of the compiler without that antifeature gets banned from the project's community.
>lock everything expensive up in the hotel safety box, otherwise eventually your shit will get stolen

Depending upon where I am, I have mixed feelings about this. In many hundreds of days of travel, I guess I've been lucky enough not to have valuables stolen, but then I take some care not to leave them in plain sight. On the other hand, I'm positive I would forget something in a hotel safe as I have in a hotel closet.
You aren't clear with what I supposedly "misunderstood."

The entire grant was $650k. 55%, or $357k were used for indirect costs. I don't know how you multiplied 650 * .55 and got 230, or why you're thinking about a $1M grant.

Bluesky -> not actually properly disintermediated or federated.

Bluesky host and manage centralized infrastructure that would break the system if turned off.

If an owner of a mastadon server deletes their server all the connected users profiles get deleted too.
Hey I think I might have this. Thanks!
I’m not worried about questions we can’t answer. I’m worried about businesses destroying artists.
1e100 is a float.
I’m not sure this is totally true in every case. Usually negative freedoms prevent others from interacting with you in some way, while positive freedoms force someone to interact with you in a certain way.

For example, trying to phrase “the freedom to eat as many hot dogs as I want for free” can’t really be expressed as a negative right “the freedom from people not giving me unlimited hot dogs” because “giving me a hot dog” is a forced interaction, not a forced non-interaction.

It’s not as simple as “negative rights include the word ‘not’” so you just add “not not” and call everything a negative right.
and people still look at me funny when I wear a mask in there

I wonder what platform doors will do: the stations depend on piston effect for ventilation, but walling off the tube from the station might keep it more in the tube?
Not really, with Go it’s braindead simple. Why would you want to jump through hoops to match performance of Go? For the sake of using Java (lol)?
That is whats always happened when you lift your pedal on a manual car at least.
so we gonna count losers and bottom-feeders? my bad, lets do NFL the same way, “superbowl” this year should be like Giants vs. Pats :)
To add:

The really sad thing about IPv6 is that it's a relic of a bygone era. The internet was envisioned as a thing where every device on every network could, in principle, initiate a connection to any other device on any other network. But then we started running out of addresses, ISP's wouldn't give you more than one for a household, so we started doing NAT, and that kind of sealed the internet's fate.

Nowadays, we wouldn't want a world where everything was connectable, even if we had enough addresses. Everyone's network in essence has a firewall. If you run IPv4 and using NAT, you're going to be dropping unsolicited incoming packets no matter what (let alone that you wouldn't know where to route them even if you wanted to let them through) and with IPv6 you'd be insane to allow them.

Devices have "grown up" in a world where we expect the router we're connecting to, to shield us from incoming unsolicited traffic. I certainly don't have the firewall enabled on my linux desktop. Windows I _think_ has it enabled by default, but I often turn it off because I want LAN connections to work. MacOS is probably similar. Suffice to say, if the IPv6 dream happened overnight and everyone's devices were instantly connectable, all hell would break loose. We need our routers to disallow traffic. (Edit: This wasn't all that clear, so let me restate: In both the IPv4 and IPv6 world, you'd be insane to disallow incoming unsolicited traffic, which is why basically everyone blocks it in IPv6 as well as IPv4. I'm not trying to say IPv6 can't do this... quite the contrary: IPv6 routers absolutely do, and should, block unsolicited incoming traffic. But my point is that this is what prevents the original vision of IPv6 from becoming a reality: We can't design software around the idea of direct peer-to-peer communication, without stuff like UPnP. Oh, and UPnP works with NAT and IPv4 anyway so, there's the rub.)

So, even in a pure-IPv6 world, that instantly prevents any startup with an idea to allow true peer-to-peer communication using end-to-end routability. What are you going to do, train your users to log into their router and enable traffic? Approximately 0% of your customers know how to do that, even in a counterfactual universe where IPv6 happened and we all have routable IP's on our devices. Maybe in such a universe, people would be trained to use local firewalls on their device, and say "ok" to popups asking if you want to let software through. But I'd wager that a lot of people would prefer the simplicity of just having their gateway drop the traffic for them.

No, the "all devices are routable" idea came from a naive world where there wasn't a financial incentive for malicious behavior at every turn. Where there aren't millions of hackers waiting for an open port to an exploitable service they can use to encrypt all your data and ransom it for bitcoin. The internet is a dark forest now. We don't _want_ end-to-end connectivity.
I thought this was going to be about how Apple completely destroyed the calculator on iOS with the latest update.

Now it does the running ticker tape thing, which means you can't use the AC button to quickly start over, because there is no AC button anymore!

I know it's supposed to be easier/better for the user, but they didn't even give me a way to go back to the old behavior.
It seems like they just trusted that supply and demand works…and were correct.
IPv6 is really an example of a second-system syndrome. It really _is_ hard because it makes a lot of IPv4 conventions inapplicable.

For example, if you want to do multi-homing with IPv6 for an SMB, you need to either do NAT (not great), or have your router advertise/whithdraw prefixes dynamically. If you do the prefix withdrawal, you can end up in a situation where your devices have _no_ prefixes. So even your internal functionality like printing or VoIP starts breaking.

Great.

Then there's ULA that is mis-prioritized. You'd think that simply adding a stable ULA prefix to all devices would solve the issue above, but that's not the case. The devices will prioritize the global IPv6 source address, so stuff can _still_ break.
I don't know much about Aurora, there was/is a little too much magic there for my taste, but I feel like once we start with "Postgres-compatible DB", we can't necessarily reason about how things perform under the hood in terms of ordinary Postgres servers. Is there a detailed breakdown of Aurora and its performance/architecture out there? My experience is that AWS is cagey about the details to maintain competitive advantage.
Lol at the cover image.
I did this very recently for a 19th century book in German with occasionally some Greek. The method that produces the highest level of accuracy I've found is to use ImageMagick to extract each page as a image, then send each image file to Claude Sonnet (encoded as base64) with a simple user prompt like "Transcribe the complete text from this image verbatim with no additional commentary or explanations". The whole thing is completed in under an hour & the result is near perfect and certainly much better than from standard OCR softwares.
Hosting a website with an RSS feed is federated. It doesn't solve the problem of finding interesting RSS feeds unless maybe RSS aggregator feeds exist (which they probably do).
The AI does not possess those attributes. It’s behaving as told. It has no experience. It has no senses. It has no thoughts or ability to reason. It has no motivation.
IMO, a good life is one with purpose and meaning. People have had these in the past, and these days, many substitute the means to happiness (money, notoriety, power, libido, etc) with actual happiness itself. [0]

I personally find a good life to be one of gratitude, harmony with nature (I live in the foothills near Yosemite) and of rich human relationships with family and others, where the goal is to create happiness for myself and others equally.

How this is done is different for each person, and mostly irrespective of technology, though I am very grateful for the cell phone, especially since the day my Mom arrived at SFO and I couldn't find her for hours. That was 315 "tech years" ago.

But it gets back to human relationships. I have always viewed technology as liberative and supportive,[1] not manipulative and divisive as it has gone horribly wrong in the hands of power and money-hungry sociopaths.

I hold the Buddhist belief that "It's not the money and influence; it's what you do with them that matters".

As I've said exhaustively before, this is also reflected in the stupid stubbornness in not changing the name.

I firmly believe they could have eaten Adobe's lunch decades ago, but I can't recommend something that may be an ableist slur, and definitely means something that is the opposite of "skilled."

Childish and disappointing.
Not sure where OP is from, but in my whereabouts „100,000,004“ wouldn’t show up in the wild. We use spaces to separate if really needed.
Life as a single man in his 20’s is very different from a single man in his 60’s.

Not sure why you thought you had to solve all these other people’s problems, but it seems to be a strong reason why you divorced - unrealistic expectations on you without them taking any accountability for themselves.

I’m going through a divorce right now, just a couple years older than you. My family is very collectivist, hers individualist. They are so individualistic in fact that they literally don’t see a problem with getting pregnant by other men (gay friend for example) because “her body, her choice”, even when married.

That said, I refuse to believe this is the large majority. Billions of females in the world, millions of potential matches. The chances that there aren’t many many good ones I can match with are vanishingly small. Granted, the effort in finding them … that’s another story.
Fun fact, the "olympiad" is the whole 4 year period. The name of the event that you are referring to is "olympic games".
Damn sup Sean, happy to see you. Good memories gopeding around MTV. Yeah I just unmasked myself, but just to you :)
Said comment, so other's don't have to dig around in your history:

"Since google, everyone trying replicate this feature... (OpenAI, HF..)
It's powerfull yes, so as asking an A.I and let him sythezise all what he fed.

I guess the air is out of the ballon from the big players, since they lack of novel innovation in their latest products."

I'd say the important differences are that simonw's comment establishes a clear chronology, gives links, and is focused on providing information rather than opinion to the reader.
It's hard to know what to make of this because while you've included the output JSON you haven't included the input PDF so I have no idea how to interpret what it's actually doing.
NAT is awesome. It automatically forces users to have a stateful border firewall that makes incoming connections impossible.
> Trump and Musk are working according to their own fickle natures and whims.

The effect of network organizations like Heritage Foundation or the decades-long work of the Koch brothers or the Murdoch clan on what Trump is doing is not to be underestimated.
If your account balance and ledger disagree, which one is right?
It is mainstream Java, though.
I’d add…
- Learn to travel light. You don’t need more than ~4 days of clothes - laundry soap exists. Dragging large rollers around old cities is not fun.

- Checklists for prep. I have one for plane travel, one for backpacking, and one for travel by RV. Nothing unexpected on any them, but helps me avoid asking myself “did I pack the phone charger?” Or “do I have sunscreen?”

- Give yourself options - I like to list out things to do, maybe 4-5 for a location/day, but only really plan to do 2-3 of them.

- The old adage about no bad weather, only bad clothing is true. And the natural light after an evening rain is usually really nice.
Bad, but anyone sideloading would skip Kindles anyway for a long time now for much better products.
They can do this because we still buy russian oil and uranium, we still make business with them via Turkey and Kyrgyzstan. Our greed is endless and the russian regime is making use of it.
It sounds like this applies to backing up to a hard drive etc, and for some people, then removing DRM from their kindle books.

I understand the worry, but for me I was more worried about losing the ability to side-load books, which I don't think is being removed.
