Yeah I agree, I think that this is just a case where the transness of the cult members was actually beneficial in a Darwinian memetics sense - there have been public warnings about the Zizians for half a decade but they were all pattern matched to 'bigoted transphobic fear mongering' and excluded from the Overton Window. It took the random murder of a federal agent (which got media coverage on an entirely separate axis of attention) to break this, and I wonder how long Ziz would have walked free even if the group continued to commit less headline worthy crimes.

> One major point of the presentation here is that it's not making real progress.

How are you measuring "real progress"?

> People are still publishing papers, but they have done nothing with an effect outside their little community.

Having an effect outside the research community is essentially a Heaviside function. Before the field is mature enough, there is no effect outside, but once the field is mature enough, there is an effect outside. Makes it hard to judge if there is any progress or not.
But then why have an age limit instead of a rust inspection?
> This was one of the rather many areas where Star Trek failed to really consider the implications of its concepts, probably because it would simply break the world building.

This is true of pretty much all scifi! It's funny seeing super-futuristic depictions of star-fighter pilots and combatants with firearms and its just...so crushingly evident that humans will not have supremacy in these arenas very shortly.

Frank Herbert must have anticipated this complication and side-stepped the whole issue by preemptively canonizing the Butlerian Jihad.
Thanks for the heads-up.

I'm curious at what would be stored in the session to make it large enough to be a problem, but it's good to know to watch out for it.
Is it really drm free if you can't save the books? Maybe there's technically no encryption but it's not like you're free to do with the book as you please either.

Browser support for it is pretty new, which is why it's so often missed. It only happened in mid/late 2023.

I've been shopping a talk since then about how to set up a name-constrained root certificate, and what it should look like. It's still hard! CFSSL is my go-to tool, and it doesn't have support. I had to fork it to make it work. OpenSSL has support, but it's configuration is like all OpenSSL configuration - Poorly documented and nonstandard, mixing INI objects and object-refs.

Raymond Chen has an article on this as well[1], the TL;DR is that you have 3 different upgrade paths (i.e. the text mode portions for a clean install, the Win16 portion for a 3.1 -> 95 upgrade, or the Win32 portion for a 95 -> 95 upgrade)

I agree with your criticism, so I was pleasantly surprised that the SFGate story from a couple days ago seemed to cover this aspect well: https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/new-details-bay-area-...

I do wonder how much it's people in the media trying to protect the rest of the trans community from association with this story, and how much it's just people writing stories based on the other coverage and not realizing that the trans connection even exists.

In any case, I find it encouraging that the more recent coverage has often been more complete than that of the first couple weeks.

I think the author was just poking fun at the idea that the 15 and 21 factoring results can be used to indicate some sort of progress. I think the graph makes that obvious.

Last I heard we were 1-2 orders of magnitude away from a physical qubit error rate low enough for error correction to have a chance of creating a threat against cryptography. So things sound pretty unlikely at the moment. We need a fundamental breakthrough.

That doesn't render a web interface, it just bundles the platform specific executable so you can run scripts embedded in the web browser. Kinda like a hole in the web page into which an exe is shoved.

Also, no browser runs that stuff anymore, and it wouldn'tve been safe to run even when they did.
I'm pro airline regulation given the current state of the market.

But you could also argue the airline industry is fairly concentrated. There are only so many airlines. If a Delta flight crashes, you might still fly Delta again in the future, because there are only so many options.

Now imagine if there were as many airlines as restaurants. If one Delta flight messes up in any way, people would never fly them again. They'd go out of business.

Of course, a market with as many airlines as restaurants isn't practical in the current day (maybe when AI robots become feasible). Hence, agree that airline regulations are necessary.

Boar's Head is performing just fine, despite having the walls of their meatpacking facilities covered in flies and maggots. That killed eleven people last year, but guess what, every friggin' deli in the country is prominently displaying their products, and sales are doing great. And for all I know, half the other brands on the shelf are owned and operated by them.

If it weren't for regulators, that facility would still be operating and poisoning people. And the reason it got so bad was because regulator alarm bells were ignored for two years.

I wouldn't even know that they were poisoning people if it weren't for regulation. And while this has lost me as a customer for life from them, what am I going to do when the other giant national meatpacker turns out to be doing the same damn thing?

Not eat meat, I guess. It'll be a libertarian success story.

Privacy is dead. But its all the more worthwhile to resurrect it.

When someone might benefit from marginal privacy, its best to ask who they want to be private from. Sometimes the juice is worth the squeeze (Privacy from ISP, Spouse etc) sometimes it isn't (State actors, large corps) depending on how much effort they want to put in.
Indeed. And there are formal procedures to, and both legal and administrative oversight over, those investigations.

It's not appropriate for the Chief Executive (far less an unappointed private citizen, in charge of an ad hoc advisory body) to have arbitrary un-auditable access to every citizen's financial records.

No, growing as an engineer just means the reality of software development will make you more miserable.

Of course it does, but companies have made the choice to pay more for that than for someone who stays and makes the place better, we should give them what they want.

I wonder if it has to do with the snapshot timing resolution being asymptotically high when you have not yet experienced enough passage of time.

As you know we generally experience timescales logarithmically with age, i.e. your incremental experience of time is always compared in reference to dividing by the total passage of time experienced, which is why children tend to get bored much more quickly than adults, because waiting for ten minutes constitutes a much larger percentage of their current experienced life compared to that of an adult's proportion.

Since a baby/toddler has only experienced a tiny amount of time passage thus far, their tiny reference "yardstick" would result in their memory being snapshotted at an untenable timining resolution thanks to division-by-almost-zero. So perhaps the brain does some form of filtering to prevent the entirety of experienced memory being dominated by the super-early ages, or perhaps there is some equivalent of an overflow in their internal counter.

Keep in mind that the above are purely metaphorical as a functional description, and not to be treated as a literal hypothesis on the mechanistic operation of memory.
Yes, this came to my mind. That all this AI work will someday culminate in a generated Lynch Return of the Jedi.
Air traffic controllers were not laid off. Nevermind that this is Toronto. And Delta pays for its own mechanics.
You're probably right. I was thinking of "Correction Centre" or other terms.
The main thing I learned was that Cronenberg was offered the directing job for ROTJ. Cronenberg was at one time in line to direct Totall Recall, and he wrote a draft of the screenplay. Totall Recall certainly includes a bit of the trademark body horror.

Cronenberg made The Fly in Hollywood, and I think it's it's great, but he wasn't able to get much more than that on the go, even though he came close to landing several high profile gigs.

In some alternate history timeline Cronenberg's name would have been attached to several big time Hollywood properties, and the world would be mostly the same just a little bit grosser. Of course, I'm happy with Cronenberg's mostly Canadian produced oeuvre the way it is, I just like to wonder.

I also used to wonder what the world would look like if Lynch has directed ROTJ, but I came to realize it was a ridiculous premise, Lynch needed far more creative elbow room than what the 3rd instalment of an established franchise could possibly afford, and there was no chance Lynch would ever agree to such a thing. So we got Dune instead and I'm happy with that too.
I've recently started using cursor and I pretty much just use it as a smart autocomplete. Having seen the larger blocks of code generated I certainly wouldn't trust it to generate most of a program.

Pretty recent (44 days ago) HN discussion on ELKS:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42596983 - it's doing really well and can even run DOOM! (just not on an NES :) )

I can't pick these up for a few reasons (#dayjob and other hobby projects that I don't have enough time/energy to work on properly!), but here's a couple of thoughts that've been percolating for a while that didn't make the last topic:

- If I were a 19-year old (and odd) college student thinking about starting something like this again (I picked up the idea from Alan Cox and did the early versions suuuuch a long time ago now!), I'd have targeted the Pi Pico, and been absolutely estatic when the RP2350/Pico 2 came out.

You could make a pretty interesting 80/early-90's workstation using a couple of rp2350's (one for frontend, the other to run the hacked-up Linux) w/additional SRAM and Flash.

- One can use a 386+ as a memory mapper/protection unit while still running everything the rest of the system in real/v86 mode, in blissful ignorance that it's running on a 32-bit system.
> It’s always worthwhile to interrogate why things were done the way they were

It really isn't. A lot of the time you end up spending a lot of effort to understand something that was dumb to start with and has been dumb ever since. Something like the bullshit asymmetry principle applies - any idiot can take 5 minutes to write a line of code that will baffle a team of experts for hours. (I've done so often enough myself).
We're actually in complete agreement over this scenario.

In my original comment, I discussed why you can't have no regulations in an industry that's highly concentrated.

Deregulating only works if and only if the underlying industry is highly competitive.

The meatpacking industry is not highly competitive: https://www.ers.usda.gov/amber-waves/2024/january/concentrat...

Hence, regulations are needed.

I've been saying for a while now that I'd love to see rules restricting the use of the term "Buy" such that it can only apply to digital products when they are DRM-free and fully downloadable. Anything where the seller retains the right to claw back their product post-sale is more of an indefinite lease or purchase of rights rather than "buying" the product itself.

I think a relatively small proportion of people buying media online fully comprehend that—based on a contract negotiation gone wrong or just the whim of a senior exec—the things they've "bought" can simply be taken away from them. Sellers should be required to make it fully clear (e.g. not just in their 73 page ToS) that they're selling something impermanent and entirely unlike owning physical media.
It's not even a matter of "good" and "bad". Modern society is complicated and individuals cannot (and should not) be expected to study and understand every different ways in which it could kill people.

Like, why do we have maximum seating limits and doors that open outside? You could be a completely honorable restaurant owner, religiously clean the kitchen every day, and strive to give your patrons the best meal every day. And then one day an old wire shorts out, the restaurant catches fire, and people are trapped inside pushing against a door opening inward - something you've never even thought about the whole time. Everybody dies.

* Under libertarian thinking, once everybody dies the grieving families can take their business elsewhere, thus proving that we needed no regulations, after all.

I'm happy to be corrected, but I don't think that the main power source of turbochargers is heat extracted from the exhaust gas - it is the kinetic energy from the exhaust gas. It may also cool the exhaust somewhat, the hot side of a turbocharger does get very hot, but I think that is unintentional.

On the cold side of a turbocharger, which is pushing air into the engine, it is more efficient when the air is cold. Intercoolers are even used to cool the air. So the heat from the exhaust seems to be a problem, rather than a benefit.

Edit: Just adding that the heat in turbos seem to be less of a problem than it used to be. More advanced materials perhaps? Definitely no turbo-timers anymore!

Threepio reads so much like an LLM, the writing turns out to have been skockingly prescient. At the time of Phantom Menace, the whole story of him being assembled by some slave kid on a backwater planet in the outer rim seemed preposterous - why would a slave kid into pod racing make a pompous ass of a protocol droid? Well, he just installed a standard easily pirated LLM into the droid he made.

And the fact that these LLMs are used as 'protocol droids' to communicate with lower-level devices - 'the binary language of moisture vaporators' etc. - matches up with the pattern of LLMs as tools for generating scripts in Python.

Terrible though the last sequel is, they even managed to include jailbreaking Threepio to get him to access part of his training data that had been censored out.

Every time I hear how "AI" has changed everything in programming, I keep asking: "why, after three years of AI hype, desktop Linux is still broken?".

If AI is such a revolutionary thing that you can build software without attention, where is my Wayland CJK input method, where is HDR, why Intel GPU drivers still has issues with LSPCON, why is there no Lineage OS for my phone, why is SPICE deprecated in RHEL 9, why is Wine's APPDB compatibility still not 100%?

If "AI" can do that much programming for you that the only thing needed to have code running is someone's willpower to order it to finally done the job, then where are all those things? Surely, despite Linux desktop users being measured in millions, not billions, there are enough people who care about those features enough to tell the AI "just do it".
Curious, who do you guys consider is the leader in the space with real-time voice interactions, interruptions, etc?
I'm in the US so didn't have a VAT ID. Plus, I originally wasn't trying to purchase it as a business, and the businesses I was purchasing from do sell to individuals, it's just that apparently they wanted even individuals to provide a [personal] tax ID. Though, to get the Italian tax ID I believe I did have to register using an American business entity. (I can't remember, and apparently because of the strict privacy laws AFAICT there's no online database where I can query my Italian tax ID to see what name it's registered to, or even whether it's registered to a business or individual. It's somewhat understandable, but at least in the US the government provides an online service that can confirm whether a name matches a tax ID.)
