Sure, but I would argue that those are concepts that have existed for millennia and has real material grounding in reality. Whereas intellectual property is entirely a fictional construction.

At its core, owning property involves the ability to use force to assert your control over it. This is completely impossible with ideas (and information more broadly) since they're non-physical, so it's not really property in the way real world property like land is.

So because it's not reflective of how the material world works, that's the heart of the contradiction I alluded to in my previous comment. There is no way to resolve the problem of LLMs from within the logical framework that doesn't lead to some further counterintuitive result. There has to be legislation around it if we want to keep the charade going, or ideally we'd want to drop it altogether.
Tariffs are put on at the federal level, not the provincial level, but your misunderstanding is very common.

The US themselves are tariffing potash at 25% from Canada coming into the US.

My quibble is with the use of language models. Human intelligence is not predicated on the written word. You wouldn't use an LLM to create something that plays tennis, yet our human general intelligence covers that.
As if Trump and Vance's demand that Zelensky abase himself in front of them isn't "emotional thinking"; as if cutting off military aid because Zelensky didn't bow and scrape isn't "emotional thinking".

As if taking the hundreds of nuclear red lines Putin has laid down and allowed to be crossed without a nuclear response, isn't "emotional thinking".
There is no special insight required here. Merely, a simple diagonalization argument (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43257904) which given a partial process to detect if a Turing machine halts, constructs a new machine which does not halt but was not detected by the earlier process.

The global reserve currency does that to you. With countries around the world demanding and hoarding dollars for their own trading needs, what domestic industries can compete with the lucrative business of printing pieces of paper in exchange for real, imported goods? That the ultrarich monopolized the spoils of this business, does not make it bad business
Leaving aside the war, Ukraine has many of the positive resources of the Baltics (just more so.) There is every reason to believe that an EU-aligned (or member) Ukraine would be an economic success story.
> making Ukraine part of NATO is just too close.

Ukraine (after abandoning efforts after the MAP rejection -- done at Russia's insistence -- in 2008) only started looking at NATO membership again after Russia invaded, so it is ludicrously disconnected from reality (but exactly representative of Russian propaganda!) to try to use that to justify the invasion.
What new jobs are going to be created when AI does everything humans currently do? In the past when new technologies were created, new jobs and industries were also created, but with AI, jobs are already being lost but I don't see many new jobs being created to replace them, other than "people who know how to talk to an AI to get what they want" and I have a feeling this will be a rather miniscule number of jobs.
If they're sure they can invade whenever they want, does it make sense to do it right now? What would they gain by sending all the good tech and researchers straight to the US? The longer they wait, the more advanced the tech they eventually steal might be.

You're debating two different things, two different experiences

Creation is a human activity, charged with emotions, efforts, which are their own rewards, as much as the end-product, which is invested of this human (sometimes collective and not instant) effort and intention and creative loopbacks. Let's call that some kind of history (because the process did happen).

Generation short-circuits that entirely, as it happens at non-human speeds, and non-human scales. It's something _else_ entirely. You do get an end-product. It may be fun and useful for some; it sometimes is. However, you don't get the process, the collaboration and the inner transformation it comes with.

Adding: with two different end-products, the issue is then how they are perceived, received, appreciated and valued by those not "in the know" of how they were made. And that is both an artistic, aesthetic and economic problem. Generating soulless shit that isn't invested with a human sentiment miseducates people and destroys taste.

No, I think v13 on HW4 is best in class, apart from the obvious (non-consumer operations) like Waymo.

But I think automomy is not enough to draw people to a new vehicle. Tesla has a branding/advertising issue with v13 because people conflate it with Autosteer (which isn't FSD), or they had a bad experience with v11/v12 and write it off completely, or they have a HW3 (majority of people) - which FSD isn't as great on.
It may partly be people waiting for the new Model Y. If that doesn't sell well then Tesla has problems.

Every v1.0 of technology has issues. How useful these tools become to patients will be based mainly on how much society forces them to be patient value focused and not provider value focused since provider value focus generally drives to cost and not health/life outcome.

The debate about how good these tools can become is basically over at this point. Humans really can't keep up. In a year we have gone from 'you must be dreaming' to 'the note is too verbose'. Soon we will be asking why the note is being generated at all since every person in the healthcare chain will want their specific view based on the raw source information and not a note that looses a massive amount of the ground truth in it. I think these tools will eventually mean, and likely also soon, that healthcare won't be able to function on the old note system just like you really can't provide services without integrating with an EHR anymore.

If the profit motive is the only motive then it is possible, if not likely, that patient outcomes will suffer for all but the wealthiest as this technology optimizes for them and not society as a whole. We have been seeing that trend in US healthcare for a while now but this disruptive technology has a chance to upend it all. We will have to see how it actually goes though because this is just the beginning.

Whats the end game here?

Let’s follow the AI and automation craze to its eventual conclusion - automations everywhere, humans are either employed in automation industry, or are unemployed at a massive scale.

Stable jobs are replaced by ever-optimized gig economy for some, and chronic poverty for others. For there to even be economy - the massive underemployed population subsists on government welfare.

Cynic in me thinks that all of the wealth generated by enormous productivity gains resulting from automation will not find its way towards population displaced by it. Those cashiers, toll booth, and warehouse workers did not find themselves in much more lucrative careers - I don’t see why it will be any different for truck and cab drivers who will be joining them in the near future.

If you see a future where these people who suddenly found all this extra leisure time o. Their hands and no income - are somehow blossoming in creative directions and realizing their own potential - I’d like to have it painted for me, as it all looks pretty bleak to me. Just not quiet sure of the timeline.

Best I can come up with is an emergence of some kind of counter-cultural protest market where people buy and sell “made by humans” products, and are continuously attacked by various regulations originating from mega corporations who captured the government.
Yeah, trump should go fight in Gaza, right? Since he just sent Israel another 4 billion in weapons this week.
You are being unduly pedantic and argumentive. You should understand that the term was clearly used to mean that population must keep growing forever because the next generation must always be larger than the previous one.

And yes, the whole economy and benefit systems, including pensions, assume this. This is why it is difficult to face the fact that population cannot keep growing, and in fact it s forecast that will stop growing at global scale by the end of the century. It is even more unsustainable combined with the objective of solving the climate and environmental crisis.

There is a dishonest incoherency with our governments, and just incoherency with large sections of the public.

Ah, sorry. Basically the most famous lawsuit involving PFAS in the US began because a farmer's cattle were dying downstream of a DuPont/Chemours plant in West Virginia that was dumping PFOA into the water. Dupont settled for hundreds of millions of dollars after an independent scientific review found probable links between the dumping and a variety of human ailments in the area. DuPont's own internal research suggested that the material is harmful to animals.

Here is Wikipedia on that lawsuit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Bilott#Initial_actions_...
Definitely agree that there are rough edges, but Nim is in a better state than ever. The LSP isn't great yet, I'll agree with that. There are great optional type libraries for working around exceptions if you don't want them, and the new memory management system (ARC/ORC) is very efficient compared to the old refc implementation (now much more like the C++/Rust approach).

For parallel programming, there are also handy libraries. The best of which is Weave[1], but Malebolgia[2] is authored by the creator of Nim and works well in its own way too.

There is also active work being done on a new implementation of Nim which intends to clean up the some of the long-term spaghetti that the current implementation has turned into (like most long-term projects do), called Nimony[3], and is also led by the original creator of Nim. It is years away from production according to him, but is at least in the works.

I'd have to say Nim is by far my favorite programming language. The terseness, flexibility, and high performance, make it feel almost sci-fi to me. My only major complaint currently is the tooling, but even the tooling is still adequate. I'm glad it exists. Highly recommend.

Form factor, amazing. Long ago I had a mini and the new 7th gen is really nice to carry around. However I found the pen functionality to be frustrating. The Pencil Pro, when it works, is great. But I had issues with lagging input on some apps, the well-known screen heating problem (within minutes), lack of a good journaling solution, etc. It's annoying to have to go through 3-4 third party apps to do something that Apple should have released alongside the device, especially when most of them need subscriptions for nebulous benefits like cloud sync (I already pay for iCloud backup, so why?). FreeForm is OK, but isn't great for structured note-taking. There are enough of these niggling problems that I returned mine within the 14-day cool off period to do some more research.

I'd consider getting a used model when the prices have dropped a bit, but full-price for something that feels a little half-baked is tough. Especially because the hardware otherwise feels exceptional.

I'm looking at the Surface Pro, which does basically the same thing and also has conveniences like USB ports for peripherals. Or try out the iPad Pro, but that's getting into "BIG" territory.
This is a good article, and I find myself agreeing with it almost entirely. My current manager is one of the most effective development managers I've ever had in my career, and I think a good part of that is because he is involved in the codebase, but not directly responsible for new features in whole.

I have had managers with no concept of what's going on the codebase, and those were dysfunctional development teams that produced poor results, despite great communication and productive meetings.

I have had managers that were effectively another engineer on the team, and those were dysfunctional development teams that produced decent results, but had poor interaction with stakeholders and no unified direction.

As in many things, the ideal seems to be a happy medium. Someone who can read the code, who can write the code, and is interested in both, but whose duties are not primarily to do so.

Hand-waving is not required as one is not going into microfoundations at all in the original argument. Someone making a thermodynamic argument for some conclusion, can later on try to speculate about how the conclusion is implemented with statistical mechanics. But the original argument is itself independent. Similarly, Penrose speculates about Orch-OR(which is not dualism btw, Penrose is a physicalist), but the truth of the argument isn't dependent on Orch-OR itself.

The current war started with the 2014 invasion by Russia.

Claiming that the invasion of Ukraine by Russia is caused and justified by a thing which happened after and in response to that invasion is arguing for retrocausality. It is not "going back in history and cherry picking events" to point out when and how the current war started in a discussion of the causes of the current war, especially when an event that happened after and in response to the start of the current war is argued to justify the aggressor in the current war.
You're not composing music with an AI generator either: you're pushing a button with a few, limited instructions, and expect something that rewards your perception of what makes good music for your intention.

If you don't enjoy composing music, just don't do it, and give it to someone who does, and has the experience/knowledge/culture/practice/gut to do it.
If you're trying to maximize employment, composers aren't the first, second, or tenth place to go looking. If you're trying to say artists will bleed income, they already have for decades, and will continue to. The ones that make a living out of it mostly get their income from live performances and merch, and maybe adtech on social media platforms.

By the same logic synthesizers shouldn't have been invented that allowed people to make advanced sounds without tediously learning an instrument first, consumers should remain priced out of microphones and editing software, etc.

Like I said, I am not trying to feign ignorance on the drawbacks of the tech which is very real and far from negligible. I am not a tech bro AI maximalist. I just do believe that hyperbole will not put the djinn back into the bottle, and pretending like there isn't a real market between nothing and paying or being a composer isn't adding anything to the conversation.
Ask HN: Photogrammetry Resources?
Hi everyone,

I'm wondering if anyone is working on a photogrammetry SaaS or has self-hosted resources.

What I want to do is take pictures of an object with my phone, have an app stitch them together to create a 3D object (for those who don't know what photogrammetry is).

From my own research, I've found RealityScan from Unreal Engine but that ties you to using SKetchfab to export your 3D model. Meshroom by AliceVision looks enticing but they don't have a modern Mac release (due to Apple using their own chips and not Nvidia).

Am I missing something?

Multiple very talented and very knowledgeable people have tried to help you understand and these are people with firsthand knowledge of the discussion at hand (I’m not counting myself because Steve and the other know language design and Rust better than I do). You insist on doubling down on your position instead of considering the possibility you’re wrong. Not much more I can do here. You can only lead a horse to water.
> I would say that unless there is a serious used EV market and that the poorer people are able to afford an EV, there will forever be a resistance.

Agreed. And I didn't mean to imply, that there isn't a problem for "everyone gets electric". But that will fix itself with (probably) this year's new cars. So in 2-3 years there will be a fledgling 2nd hand market and in 10 it will be of similar volume as it is now (probably still a bit pricier, since there will be a non-car use for used car batteries)

> EVs are definitely not cheaper to construct, maintain or recycle end-of-life.

There I disagree. The EV price is (still) (mostly) the battery, which is _still_ coming down rapidly. I thought maintenance costs were already cheaper, but maybe not. And end-of-life is mostly a scale question, which will be fixed. Especially since we can reuse the batteries.

The same goes for energy cost and CO2 emissions. I think the EV construction numbers largely assume current (or even worst case) energy mixes, but yeah most of these comparison make at least one questionable assumption (like choosing low efficiency gas cars) and are therefore complicated. Still it's quite a fundamental property: EVs are more efficient and large combustion systems are more efficient. At least CO2-wise it will _always_ be more efficient to burn fuel in a large power plant and run an EV. And the electricity mix is significantly better than that^. Price-wise it's a more complicated story, but at least for Germany, we need to import the fuel anyways. So producing locally should work out better (both personally, where using your own solar is basically a tax break and system wide, where EVs provide a reasonably flexible dispatchable load, which has value)

I think the big question is the time scale here, but fundamentally: The biggest market in the world decided to go EV, that makes the position of any non-EV producer complicated to say the least. Everything downstream (second hand market, recycling, ...) hasn't had time to even develop yet.

> Twitter had few months runway until it'd run out of money and go bankrupt.

The only source I found for this claim was Elon Musk. Do you know a credible source?
Absolutely not. Nothing like an out of touch manager slowing down their engineers with random PR comments and questions. They should not go deeper than the design document/architecture level. They are not adding any value trying to put their washed skills on display.
If that will fit your RPO, why not only do that? Saves a lot of complexity (and risk).
Me too, but that's a whopping 5 characters more. Think of all the extra keyboard wear!

I do like the curl-ability of that one a lot, though, and on my own computer I can just configure an alias or shell function for it :)
> However polls show that Americans don’t like Putin.

Out of that 81%, how many believe in appeasing Putin to "Avoid world war III" despite their animus? Too many, IMO, and Putin doesn't care for how the American populace feel about him personally, as long as he can achieve his foreign policy goals without hindrance from American bombs, intelligence or funding, which has become the status quo as of yesterday.
As an engineering manager, I actually pick up the stuff other people don’t like to do or stuff I notice that is hanging out there. My goal is to move the team forward.

I’ve also done POCs of work that has been met with resistance that I didn’t feel was justified in order to actually give it a fair shake. That is my coding fun.
> unfair competition for work

That's a very good indicator of a bloated institution. People have to compete for work instead of pushing it away or avoiding it because they already have their hands full.

But I don't believe there is a general rule that applies here.

Most great managers I had were deeply technical and involved in the nitty gritty of the projects, including coding the very spiky aspects of a project.

Most mediocre managers I had were very focused on relationship building. The kind of manager that would need a hobby project to keep current, instead of being the most knowledgeable person in the room.
I think that is that "prolonged admissions" was meant to cover
> If China invades Taiwan, the US is to blame

That's completely deranged. The CCP has intended to take Taiwan from day one. Before they even managed to drive the ROC out of mainland China they intended to take all of China, including Taiwan, and their failure to take Taiwan has never been something they were satisfied with.

Manufacturing has nothing to do with it. America only has anything to do with it insofar as they have helped Taiwan resist the CCP so far.
