You got really good points.

Could we blame the "industrialisation" of PhDs on that we should expect less impact from each researcher and thus the obvious policy the keep interesting research happen is more researchers?
> is the main cause of our current environmental problems.

I don't fully agree with this. Would you rather live on a planet with a population of 5 billion that primarily used coal energy and meat food? or a planet of 10 billion that primarily consisted of renewable energy and vegetarianism?

My concern is more economic and social. With high population levels it seems too much wealth and power goes to the holders of land and natural resources. The Gulf state monarchs and London landlords being the 20th century manifestations of this.
Carimbo is a simple yet complete 2D game engine written in modern C++ using SDL. It is scriptable in Lua.

Quite limited view thats valid in certain times in certain cases, in certain countries etc.

What about drawbacks of owning a house? You will spend non-trivial amount of your time, energy and money just to keep it up, keep fixing all things that deteriorate. And everything deteriorates. I mean really non-trivial, count how much your hourly rate is and how much you will waste instead of making some fun good activities, getting more healthy, enjoying life, resting, traveling and so on. Is that really how you want to spend some part of your me-time?

You are also locking yourself down at very specific place which may be a craphole in a decade, without good jobs around etc.

Also it will in normal cases vacuum your savings, degrading quality and fun in life in (at least) initial years after purchase - those are often the best years of one's remaining life.

People tend to look back with rosy glasses on the past, highlighting positives and shrinking negatives, thats basic psychology of each of us. Looking back at period of ownership people mostly look at money made, not all that stress and time with just keeping some property in same state.

Middle grounds are apartments, very little maintenance compared to house&land, much lower costs, but also less privacy and less feeling of 'in my own'.

There is room for each approach, ie right out school locking oneself in specific place may not be the smartest idea. Maybe you will earn some money on sell but maybe also some much better opportunities and better life will be missed due to inflexibility. Freedom is invaluable, properties ownership tends to take some of it away.

I agree. I don't necessarily think that low birth rates are a crisis. My point is that anyone who thinks that they are ought to be in favor of the government spending a lot of money to fix the crisis.

People usually don't see the history of these kind of systems.

In most cases these issues are a result of similar kind of patching of a previous similar issue resulting in unexpected outcomes. (Probably going on for years)

From my experience management often tries to ignore the bigger refactors by using inexperienced people to patch things repeatedly, meanwhile the team suffocates under technical debt and responsibilities as a result of this mentality.

Sometimes its better to stick with the dev team for long term goals instead of becoming a "management puppet" for short term wins.

I think you will agree that not many people will choose this path, doing jail time while waiting for a settlement. At least I definitely wouldn't. So then, what is the point of this strong encryption, when the only time it would matter you can and will be forced to skip it? The xkcd $5 wrench will always look stronger, be it wielded by a criminal or by a government. Encryption is only as good as real life allows, so in this situation if you want stronger encryption against the government, you must have a law permitting that. As for protection from the criminals, good luck.

Consensus in the machine learning community is that current architectures are enough for AGI, no new architecture needed. There is plenty of leeway as well into how much money we can pour into training and if the linear scaling law for model capabilities still holds — and we have no reason to believe yet that they won't we have the resources (both financial and technological) to reach this within 10-20 years tops.
city buses take 80-100 people, articulated buses about 150

Yes, but then they are not offering a ride that is better than a ride in a private car.

I have took an extensive look at this over the last weeks. A typical articulated bus can only carry about 20 to 30 passengers who are seated as comfortably as in a private car.

Partly that is because of the design of the buses. If the buses were redesigned to comfortably seat people, they could probably carry an additional 10 or 20 passengers who are comfortably seated.

Ahh, the bulk of the negative feedback has been about the draft example EULAs. Those are under review by an actual lawyer (as noted in the `IANAL` note near the top of https://opensourcemaintenancefee.org/maintainers/eulas/), and any text that conflicts with any Open Source License (permissive or copy-left) will be fixed. The line "Failure to pay the Fee will result in the termination of this license. Upon termination, User must cease all use of the Software and remove it from all systems." will definitely not survive lawyer review.

(I definitely wish I just put "TBD" on the site for the EULAs instead of a pre-canned version. I wonder if I should switch it out now or if that would create more confusion).

Note: your statement that FOSS must not have anything resembling a EULA is incorrect. EULAs are allowed, but they cannot impose restrictions that contradict the open-source license. Requiring payment for distribution fees (including packaging, convenience, and maintenance) is allowed.
That's a good idea but the current flow is from top to bottom but this would change that, someone would be reading it from top to bottom then at the end read if case then go back to top to read else case. I don't want to do that.

I'd rather live on a planet where people are free to eat what they want, free to travel as they wish and see the world, free to live in a house with a large garden, free to enjoy life and the planet.

Renewable energy, at least low-zero emission energy, will take over in any case but emissions are only one issue. Our negative impact on the environment goes far beyond that and it is driven by population.
Here in the US the old people elected a government which is set to gut the services they, the old people, depend on. Yesterday it was announced that the SSA, the Social Security Administration, which is the main support in retirement of much of the country, will eliminate 50% of its support staff and locations. The old people, who generally only trust propaganda outfits, will be told that someone else did this to them. They will get angry and elect more people who will cut their services.

People may think they're voting to keep things the same, but in practice they vote for people who are tearing down everything without checking to see what those things are supposed to do, whether they should be doing those things, or whether they are doing them. We'll see how this works out in the rest of the world.

Yeah, this is all true in my experience. We buy devices with the appropriate Quectel modem for the region, stick a SIM card in from a provider who has relationships with operators worldwide, then ship it to site. Once it gets given some power the device will connect to whatever mobile network has best signal and call home - we don't actually do a lot of international deployments but even within the country it's hugely useful to have SIMs that will happily roam between all the major operators.

Having fertility rate of around 2.1 to produce a stable population level is ideal. Otherwise you eventually end up with exponential problems one way or another.
Luckily, the law feels no need to be consistent and therefore doesn't need to reconcile it.

There are many, many, many great games that fail, while many mediocre games succeed. There's some correlation with fun, art style and polish, but more often it's down to marketing, exposure and luck.

I've heard it said that a fun game is the baseline, though. The game should be doing the heavy lifting, not the marketing. Marketing a bad game doesn't automatically lead to success, for sure.

Many breakaway hits are simply lucky by hitting the zeitgeist. Among Us is an example - without the covid hangover and some bored streamers randomly deciding to play it one day, you can imagine it not being the massive success that it is.

which only makes sense when you are in their offices/city.

Nuclear fission is far more tractable than fusion, highly proven in marine transport, well-suited to workloads (boiling water -> electical generation -> propulsion), and yet still has proved nonviable not only in commercial shipping (Soviet/Russian icebreakers excepted), but in military transport other than submarines and, for the US and France, aircraft carriers. Even in those use-cases, most militaries with submarine fleets have no nuclear subs, and those which do often have few; only the US, Russia, UK, France, China, and India operate any nuclear submarines. Only the US and France operate nuclear carriers, with the latter operating only one such (China has one under development).

The US commissioned several nuclear cruisers, with a total of 9 achieving active status, though the last of these, the USS South Carolina, was decommissioned in July 1999.

Even given military (rather than commercial) considerations, the ships were too costly to operate and maintain.

There were a total of three non-Soviet commercial nuclear vessels, the American NS Savannah, and two ships launched by Germany (Otto Hahn) and Japan (Mutsu) respectively. Dating from the late 1950s to early 1970s, none proved economically viable, all faced major regulatory hurdles, being excluded from most ports and requiring extensive negotiations where they were permitted to berth at all, and all three were either converted to conventional powerplants or decommissioned entirely well before designed end-of-life.

As of 2023 China has designed, but not built, a thorium-based molten salt reactor (MSR) 24000 TEU cargo ship, a new development since I'd last looked at the space. More:

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_marine_propulsion#Civi...>

Looking into the matter of nuclear-powered shipping about a decade ago, I was struck by the relative small count (about 80k vessels then, since expanded to about 100k), and the frequency of hull losses, roughly 200 or so per decade. This suggests both scale issues and significant safety concerns, whether for fission-based or fusion-based propulsion, which despite a far smaller radiation footprint still has concerns with fusion reactor radioactive contamination, particularly on heavily-travelled sea lanes which tend to concentrate near population centres and fisheries, and thus significant environmental considerations, likely leading to severe regulatory restrictions. The tendency of shipping standards to be a race-to-the-bottom (figuratively and literally) given various minimal-requirements "flags of convenience" registries makes the probability that a nuclear fleet would have dodgey standards and/or find itself excluded from most ports (and commercially attractive ones most especially) also bodes poorly for prospects likely extending out decades even with unprecedented technological developments in the area.

Maritime Fusion strikes me as not only a very long shot but one with pretty limited prospects overall.
You might reconsider your stance. As LLMs get increasingly more powerful at making sense of all kinds of data, these old archive can suddenly become incredibly useful.
They are right about the tariff threats, but orange man is quick to roll those back.

Otherwise, it is hilarious to blame orange man for the current malaise. Biden provoked and escalated the Ukraine proxy war, with detrimental effects on energy prices and the world economy.

Trump seemingly tries to shut down that conflict, which would be a major boost to the world economy. Whether he'll go through with that against the powerful political interest groups is another question.

It's a fine generalisation because it's assumed that people eat 1-2 eggs for breakfast, not 20.

> [...] but, being as they are, for most people in most Western jurisdictions the rules favor homeowners.

Alas, no, not necessarily. There are feedback effects. The rules favouring owner-occupied housing mostly drive up the demand for that, and if you don't allow supply, then all you get is higher prices, that those would-be homeowners have to pay.

But in any case: my point is that it's down to circumstances which path is better. It's not an automatic 'home-ownership is always better'.
"why not use it for work-commute"

In Oslo (and I am sure other European places), the answer is simply "because I want to spend 30 minutes on my commute instead of 90 minutes". (At least for train/metro)

Assuming urban areas: Roads are always congested. Building more roads/more lanes only relieves it a few years then car traffic increases until you are as congested as before. (You can find proper scientific studies of this effect -- "induced traffic")

But public transport, if enough people take it, take so ridiculously many more passengers per area of road that it cuts through this effect and actually helps congestion. (Establishing a bus route may also induce more traffic, but you can add another bus much more cheaply than another road lane, and actually keep up.)

This requires buses to be prioritized in traffic though (dedicated lanes), otherwise there is as you point out no reason for individuals to take public transport.

Basically a reserved bus/metro lane gives you "infinite road capacity" (with the obvious caveats)
Ask HN: How are you authorizing AI agents?
I have been contemplating how to properly permission agents, chat bots, RAG pipelines to ensure only permitted context is evaluated by tools when fulfilling requests. How are people handling this?

I am thinking about anything from safeguarding against illegal queries depending on role, to ensuring role inappropriate content is not present in the context at inference time.

For example, a customer interacting with a tool would only have access to certain information vs a customer support agent or other employee. Documents which otherwise have access restrictions are now represented as chunked vectors and stored elsewhere which may not reflect the original document's access or role based permissions. RAG pipelines may have far greater access to data sources than the user is authorized to query.

Is this done with safeguarding system prompts, filtering the context at the time of the request?
That's a pretty good idea, I can do this.

So it seemed to be the case of poor quality that's hard to quantify, right? Like if you made a bunch of aerial photos of an Italian division vs a Waffen SS division in 1941 you'd probably come to a conclusion they were about equal in capabilities, and Italians themselves believed the same, while in fact that was super far from truth. Is this what you are talking about?
If you look at history at large enough scale, concepts of patriotism or keeping one's culture are completely meaningless. Or to phrase it better - there is as much meaning as you give it to, can be from 0 to extreme and only you decide what it is, or your emotions if you can't control them. There is nothing strictly rational about this. You can tie your identity to it or not, in 21st century western world one can truly forge one's own destiny, mind, identity and so on. What a true freedom!

For me personally, I couldn't care less about cultural or religious origins of people living around me, or color of their skin. I've met people of very diverse cultures at their home countries and can't say my own culture is better, sometimes glaringly worse.

And I come from extremely homogeneous eastern European bloc country with rich cultural background, ie I saw first black person in my late teens for example and started traveling only in my 20s.

What I care utmost about is that they are good moral people who follow rules and respect others, just like I respect them. We can disagree on certain topics, but not on basic moral ones. And at least basic language level.

For me, Switzerland wins above all in this, hence I moved here. Not perfect place by any means, but darn good not only in aspects above.

Yes, but also that only takes the price back to early November, i.e. undoes the bubble from people thinking Trump affiliation would help.

Even after that, on the basis of the P/E ratio, I wouldn't be surprised by the share price dropping 90% from today, i.e. hovering around a price of $29/share.

That needle may yet move, but it's too soon to tell. I'd expect Musk to have an explict falling out with Trump first, not merely the current state of Trump having no interest in supporting EVs.
