> I would not describe current LLMs as able to generate essays on anything

Are you invisibly qualifying this as the inability to generate interesting or entertaining essays? Because it will certainly output mostly-factual, vanilla ones. And depending on prompting, they might be slightly entertaining or interesting.

>This. Once people are rich enough to have no real problems the setback of someone else's shed on someone else's land and the spacing of outlets in the walls of other people's houses suddenly start looking like things worth caring about.

Worse yet, the seeming backbone of the US real estate market is that homes are your biggest investment. They're seen as both a place to live and an asset that is a portion of your net worth.

For it to be both, means owners will always incentivize the asset increasing in value and as we see, the result is most home owners will fight zoning de-regulation tooth and nail. Its worth noting that this is true regardless of which political party is in power locally, assuming we're talking about the US.

As a result land use reforms are some of the hardest to get through legislatures in the US. For example, it took years for California to pass a law that simply allows people to rent secondary dwellings on their property, and this was heralded as a big deal because it usurped local regulations banning such practices. Keep in mind, this does relatively little to move the needle on real estate pressures (there's only so many places that have excess capacity of this nature to begin with and there aren't a ton of incentives to create more, as the law is still limited in a variety of ways). This took many years to get through, and its a very very very small reform!

I am both a land owner (I have a niche farming operation, but don't live on that land) and a home owner, and I find this obsessive behavior among other land/home owners to be misguided at best and appalling at worst.

The simple truth is it can be either an asset or a commons good, but it really can't be both. Thats a major part of the issue to begin with, and why I'm an advocate for the Land Value Tax
Master architecture decision records (ADRs): Best practices for decision-making
> Tech's general atheism has left many tech people with a somewhat compromised ideological immune system

It seems wrong to blame atheism for this. Somehow I doubt that devotion to a more traditional "Sky Daddy" would make people any less likely to play around with thought experiments about AI or simulations and the idea that religion has some kind of inoculating effect against magical thinking seems ridiculous.

People are just generally susceptible to magical thinking for various reasons, and philosophers often enjoy coming up with fantastic scenarios and those tendencies can manifest differently in people with a passion for technology than it does for someone with other interests.

I can’t tell if this was intentional, but it’s a hilarious joke. OP was referring to the decision to provide an “answer”, not the length of the response.
This is the most obvious, easy, legitimate solution that you should have been practicing from day 1.....why keep so much fluid funds in a non FDIC insured payment provider?

Why not do that immediately when they are based off your info, stealing from you?

I'm not in this field so forgive me if it's very obvious
That makes perfect sense. It puzzles me why supporters of the current US regime think Canada won’t resist the US. Be it a trade war or a military invasion, Canada will make the cost so great that it may eliminate the US from the world arena. Canada has been cornered and has nothing to lose at this point.
V2L is one of the reasons I bought the car I did - instead of getting battery backup for the random outages that PG&E gifts us (literally power drops likely to happen whenever we gust over 25mph), I installed a 12 circuit transfer switch and my 75kWh battery in the car can provide reasonable backup without running cables throughout the house (reasonable = 1.9kW max so no hair dryers or running toaster oven + microwave at the same time).

Newer vehicles (like 2025 Ioniq5) can do 12kW throughput (and many trucks can do 9+ kW already).

Once V2H standards are confirmed and deployed I would be able to integrate the Car batteries with home batteries and solar.
Would it be possible to use security flaws in their crawler to make them do very expensive things? In the case of China, illegal (anti CCP) things? I don't think many of those companies are too rigorous about their cybersecurity, and cybersecurity is expensive per se anyway.

Because AI cannot invent cures or therapies this just means that AI searched medical records and/or documents and likely found a treatment a real doctor innovated. This is more analagous to a search engine than "True AI" saving hsi life. This is like using Google.
> It's been considered, but it's not going to help much.

It may not help much in terms of revenue, but it may help with public perception. People spend a lot of time and energy in their car. Think about how much people talk about gas prices as a measure of whatever politicians they think are responsible for them.
> With remote islands somewhere in the oceans, the last zoom level isn't very effective since the map will essentially only show the island you're supposed to identify

In some cases with these tiny islands, I see essentially just some specks on the map (where one island is one country, other island is another country). In these cases I would like to see some minimap in the corner, that would show which part of the world I'm looking at. Better resolution would also help (to make the shapes of these islands more recognizable).

But overall, nice app! Would be nice to have some counter of total number of guesses, guesses today, and maybe success ratio for the day or something. And the best thing would be the percent of the countries I have well memorized, something like a progress bar, with the goal of memorizing all the countries.

' this is ">100% efficiency" in the same sense that "turned off the LED's electric power, set it on fire, then measured the fire's light output" is ">100% efficiency".'

It's absolutely a misleading headline. But that last part is a little harsh. The power is awfully low, but someday a partly-heat-powered LED might not be 100% useless.
The "compression" you refer to is lossy. And the "decompression" is different each time you run the model (because of the temperature). You can't "remove" it.

To me, a workflow is a predetermined set of steps that are followed based on fixed logic. Agents should have some agency to determine which steps in the workflow to perform next, without them being predetermined by fixed logic.
It seems like you could apply similar thinking to aliens, but if we actually got proof of aliens it'd still be a big deal, right?
I think a lot of people are yearning for the "good old days", where you'd install Apache, drop some .php files into /var/www and start hacking around with only static HTML and maybe a sprinkle of progressive-enhancement JS here and there. I think it's totally okay way to build a dynamic webpage. But web application? Not so sure.
This is by design in the regulatory infrastructure, from local permitting offices all the way up to CPUC and rate structures.

We pay about $3/W for solar installation in the US, but Australia pays about $1/W.

For batteries, there's still a supply crunch and the only people getting really good prices are those people who buy in huge bulk or are willing to take a risk on a lesser known manufacturer. If you want well-proven brands the prices can still be very high for small purchases, and a solar installer is not going to want to take a risk with a new supplier.

These systems are not super complex, most technical people could figure them out fairly easily, and in fact off-grid disconnected systems are really easy to do. It's the grid tie that will kill you or first responders to your house, we have made the process of setting the whole thing up very expensive because nobody on the regulatory side has an incentive to make it straightforward and cheap. And since NEM3 killed solar in California, all the installers are barely scraping by and need to rely on very high margins on few projects.
Yeah my place is hiring, we got inundated with resumes, and frankly a lot of very good resumes compared to what we expected.
The tech worker shortage is a myth. Any business that offers a competitive wage is able to hire engineering talent by the boatload, even if they mandate in-person participation five days a week. The "shortage" is a fig leaf to cover up the desperate greed American businesses are feeling as their margins shrink and their supply chains become more fragile.
First of all, really cool project.

But are these projects truly decentralized, or are they just government-led initiatives wrapped in decentralization rhetoric? lol. What percentage of these efforts genuinely aim for SSI rather than state-controlled digital IDs?
Only if you consider connecting to a single phone. The advantage of what I’m proposing is the watch would automatically work with whichever other Apple devices are on your account.
If there were intelligent aliens billions of years ago who didn't destroy themselves, they probably build some simulations like we in a way already did with Google Earth, GTA, Minecraft, etc. The most likely is to have more and more simulations, until they'll have all the interesting ones (a simulated multiverse). They can even have a Dyson Sphere or Penrose sphere to capture the energy from a star or black hole
Would love to see a more detailed write-up on this way of using Dagger.
We ran manual sharding on our vector DB for months—it honestly felt like an endless firefight. Hotspots popping up constantly, exhausting weekend resharding marathons, and painfully slow schema changes. Recently switched to a managed, shard-free cloud solution, and wow—the difference is night and day. Finally, I can spend my energy building my actual solution instead of babysitting databases!
You can use those detached steel panels as skis, or as a tent frame! Elon truly is the smartest man on earth.
I am on you side (but not all are more complicated and there are mechanical variations that are better than batteries for some scenarios) but the takeaway of that study is described here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43425560
Sure, that makes sense. This is where I'm coming from with my interest in history:

I heard an interesting argument somewhere that solar cells are an ideal manufactured good. Whether you are building a module for a calculator or a GW scale plant, the modules are the same. This is fundamentally different for steam turbines. On the "concrete-internal combustion engine" spectrum of complexity, solar modules are closer to concrete and turbines are closer to ICEs.

Shouldn't this have led to a special interest in advancing solar module research? Or widespread understanding that eventually the unique set of attributes that define a solar module would lead to it's takeover of a significant portion of global energy generation? Shouldn't that have been apparent from the earliest days of photovoltaic research as a sort of philosophical truth before the advances in material science, extraction or manufacturing of the last fifty years?
I mean, we had asm.js in 2013, which ran Unreal Engine 4 in the browser.

WebGPU is new, but WebGL came out in 2011.
I wouldn't want to overstate it either, since I was just a lowly and IMHO mediocre PhD student at the time and my contribution to the paper was minor. Nevertheless, I believe I understand the relationship between the cosmological constant and dark energy just fine.
Most houses in the UK are "attached" to another property, either row houses or two houses in one. Detached is just what you would call a regular house in the USA -- it's not touching another building and sits on its own land.
Nah it's pretty much every circle in Europe.

Macron in France and the current German government are centre right. Poland is socially way to the right. Baltics, Scandinavia, Italy, all pretty right wing.

Only Putinistas support what the US is doing with Trump, which is to say, almost no one in Europe.

We can reframe the story as: oldest galaxy currently found is much more evolved than expected. We expected something more primitive.
"Generally", sure. How do you guarantee every service you've ever signed up for uses proper salting and hashing though? All it takes is one for your entire security model to go down the drain.

> If you feel strongly about what framework you want to use, please make that a criteria for your job search. Please stop walking into teams and derailing everything by trying to convince them to switch from framework X to your framework of choice. It’s really annoying and tremendously costly.

We try to screen for this mentality pretty thoroughly in interviews.

Few things are more tiresome than having a product that has been around for years, and that has lots of users, tech debt, edge cases, and business considerations baked into it and having to explain to someone who's been with the company for 2 months that no we probably shouldn't throw out the entire React app and rewrite it in Svelte. An few things are more aggravating than someone who has that idea shot down multiple times and keeps. bringing. it. up.

Any indication in our interview process that you are a language or framework zealot will make it a lot harder for you to move to the next round.

I kind of understand this argument, but I kind of don't. Does this argument prefer that there is less food production in California?

> It supplies one-third of U.S. vegetables and three-quarters of its fruit and nuts. California is the country’s biggest milk producer, producing nearly 20 percent of the nation’s milk. And of all crops grown in the U.S., 19 of them – including almonds, pistachios, walnuts, raisins, olives, plums and table grapes – are grown only in California.

TeamCity's "config as code" feels a bit like an afterthought to me. (It's very Windows-style, where PowerShell got bolted on, and you're still fighting a bit of an upstream current getting clickops users out of old habits. I've also only experienced it at .NET-stack jobs, though, so I might be a bit biased :-)

(I don't recall _loving_ it, though I don't have as many bad memories of it as I do for VSTS/TFS, GitLab, GH Actions, Jenkins Groovyfiles, ...)
Participants in prediction market do not need to be experts for their collective input to be informative.

There's a long history of economic research on the "wisdom of crowds" that backs up their value.
I like the idea! I typed in "futuristic" which got some wild results. The problem is that some properties will have one crazy photo of a single room (sometimes in the lobby of a block of flats) that is nothing like the rest of the property on offer. One property even showed the escalators of a local Underground station as its primary thumbnail, which were kinda futuristic looking.
I'm not opposed to H-1Bs generally, but there should be a very high minimum pay level for the worker. If you "need" to bring someone in on a visa, you better "need" to do so, demonstrate it.

Many years ago I recall digging through what was supposed to be a DB of H1B visa holders jobs that accompanied a news report. Some of the jobs looked suspiciously like front like customer service job that were located in the middle of nowhere USA.
This feels similar to heat pumps being >100% efficient though? Perhaps a less misleading headline would be 'Very low-power LEDs also convert heat to light'

They tried doing that with letting the onion bid on infowars' assets and then having it overturned. I get the feeling it might be a different reaction from the judge when the move is pulled in favor of an oil major and not a satire newspaper.

The point is that Apple has never been successfully sued because someone clicked through a warning. I don't care if someone files a frivolous lawsuit that fails.

The internet was great, everything we did with it in the last 20 years with it was the mistake. Collimating in a comment that blogspam can now be one of the positive notes in the hellscape we are building.

A very useful hellscape though, for all its flaws
React 16.8 (the one with hooks) has been stable for almost 6 years and newer React versions are mostly backwards compatible. The real problem are bundler / build tools. Using something like esbuild + tsc goes a really long way and will never get deprecated. If you know the craft enough, you can ignore everything else (save eslint, probably).
Nope. The headline is categorically false. A LED's efficiency does not exceed 100%. Science journalism is an absolute dumpster fire.
>if everyone's broke
>nobody's spending money on stuff like contractors, mechanics, and other hardcore blue collar trades.

Why would this happen? Money is simply a medium of exchange of values that this contractors, mechanics and other hardcore blue collar trades are creating. How can they be broke, if Ai doesn't disturb their ability to create values and exchange it?
I also haven’t seen it in any other place. Game dev and backend which I’ve worked in uses the same technologies for decades. It’s like someone trying to write a book but instead of writing a new chapter each month they mess about with their ink choice and their font choice and their paper roughness and get very little actual progress
The power unit in F1 generally refers to the ICE and the MGU-H & MGU-K. This article doesn't mention nor specify the actual numbers.

Mahle / Ferrari were getting 45% or so out of the ICE a few years ago with pre-chamber ignition.
The idea is a common pattern among Dagger users, but you can do the same with bash scripts, python, or any entrypoint. It's more of a CI ethos, and for me Dagger is an implementation detail.

I personally hold Dagger a bit different from most, by writing a custom CLI and using the Dagger Go SDK directly. This allows you to do more host level commands, as everything in a Dagger session runs in a container (builds and arbitrary commands).

I've adopted the mono/megarepo organization and have a pattern that also includes CUE in the solution. Starting to write that up here: https://verdverm.com/topics/dev/dx
Fusion is ready, and it's been ready for about 4-ish billion years. Once you deploy the panels needed to collect space-based fusion, there will likely never be an economical argument for Earth-based fusion. There's only so much simplication you can apply to a machine designed to contain a miniaturized star, especially compared to a dead-simple dirt-cheap solar panel.
I began doing AngularJS and have been doing Angular 2 for a while, as another commenter said: there are jobs still out there.

In my experience I get more Angular & Vue offers than C# and React. For what is worth I'm convinced that across the industry React jobs wages are lower. Who knows, I could be closed in my own bubble but am pretty sure the pool of react devs is bigger and this might be the reason.
No... which is why they've been such a great company for so long.
I think it is analogous to setting your tap to a teeny tiny amount of "on," and in doing so you entrain the existing droplets in your tap to fall out.

Not because of guns. Crime exists everywhere; TripAdvisor will tell you how to stay safe.

But when non brown people are getting sent to ICE, and when criticism of political figures is terrorism, then this is definitely not America you are going to. It’s a country that has popped up in the geographic region previously occupied by America. This new country isn’t a place for conferences in fields that are all about upsetting the status quo.
