Rare to see news about Azerbaijan on HN—glad this one made it to the top! If you haven’t been to Baku or Azerbaijan, definitely add it to your travel list. These days, many skilled Azerbaijanis contribute across various sectors in Europe and beyond. If in the past we were mostly known in Russia for bringing fresh tomatoes and produce from sunny Baku, today’s generation is more globally aware and engaged in tech, finance, and many other fields.

Also, if you have an Azerbaijani friend, don’t hesitate to celebrate Nowruz with them today/tomorrow—and Ramadan later this month! Salute to all former compatriots who went abroad in pursuit of a better life and a better version of themselves.
Personally I don't think that's good enough justification. Being stuck in space doesn't make any country look good, if anything, it makes them look bad for their errors.

But the only people that can actually say this was bad or good are the astronauts themselves, only they know how much they love their work to turn the word "stranded" into something else positive.

Yes the internet will become a slum of AI robots and loners.

What we need is a government sponsored regulated social media where we identify ourselves with eID, so that anything you do or say is actually tied to your person. Americans won't understand this but many European countries are already primed for it.

If you want to go slumming you're free to do so, but I want a stable and safe social media as an alternative.

More than that, based on the basic architecture of JEmalloc, mimalloc and tcmalloc, you should always expect their fragmentation behavior to be better for long-running software than the glibc malloc. (At the expense of consuming substantially more memory for very small programs with only a few allocations of a given size). The glibc malloc has nearly pessimal fragmentation behavior, you are very confused here.
But could there be more error correction since the total storage area is larger?

My impression of it is that it's basically perfect to hand to fresh or about-to-be-fresh EE graduates. It fills in some of the massive practical gap between what's taught in college and what you actually need to know to be an effective engineer. So I interpret that as "this builds on your degree".

Of course, it's much more applicable than that, but it is not trying to be a from-basics textbook. Which is good, because there are lots of those, and there are very few things that teach what this teaches.

(1) Daemons run usually in the background while agents are main loop.

(2) Daemons are predefined and can't adapt to changes easily -- this is a function of narrow AI vs general AI (not to be confused with AGI)

(3) Daemons have few interactions with the environment while for the agent the environment (tools, sensors, plans, memory, and context) is everything.

These are just a few from the top of my head.

There's a startup doing something close to this. I can't remember the name and I'm not going to look it up, but the pitch is that you feed it a copyright stock image and it uses AI to create a usable-but-clearly-different near equivalent - a situation where absence of copyright is a feature, not a bug.

Technically it's a derivative work. Practically you'd never tell, and proof of derivation is impossible.

The law as it currently stands is completely unable to deal with these issues.

It's not even clear what the issues are, because copyright is primarily about protecting income rights from significant original invention. The mechanical act of making a copy is somewhat incidental.

When invention is mechanised (or if you want to be less charitable, replaced by algorithmic grey goo) the definition of "significant original invention" either needs to be tightened up or replaced.
It is a defence against it. Just not a perfect one.
> When I'm feeling down I call it “Internet Gated Communities”, when in an optimistic mood, “The Faculty Club”. This may lead to what many observers refer to as “the Balkanisation of the Internet”—a fragmentation of the “goes everywhere, reaches everybody” vision of the global nervous system into disconnected communities. This may not be such a bad thing.

This happened. In the Philippines, for example, almost all online interaction takes place on Facebook. FB isn't a gated community, but it allows people to set up their own gated communities by the services it layers on top of raw http and html. Another word is "walled gardens", and again, walled gardens are popular because unwalled gardens become slums.

The point is, libertarians, open standards advocates and "old web" nostalgists need to recognize why these services are popular, if they are going to have a chance of protecting the openness they care about.

> AI agents are rational agents. They make rational decisions based on their perceptions and data to produce optimal performance and results. An AI agent senses its environment with physical or software interfaces (AWS)

my reply was to this definition, where the adjective "rational" was used with the noun "agents" by AWS, so it's obvious they're not talking about Human agents.

> When people use phrases like "rational decisions" it is generally a statement of intent.

I frequently hear on the news something like "the terrorists are rational". They completely missing the point that an agent might be rational (i.e. optimizing) for one variable, while they projecting it on a completely diffrerent variable. I.e. for non-textbook toy problems agents usually have lots of variables they care about, so when you talking about rationality you should specify that specific variable, and not generalize that b/c they're somewhat rational at one thing, they will be rational at all other things.
If you are not properly overriding the allocator consistently for everything within an executable, that’s entirely possible (eg linking against 1 allocator and then linking with a dynamic library that’s using a different one). Without a specific repro it’s hard to distinguish PEBCAK from legit bug. Also it certainly can’t be the Nvidia driver since that’s not running anything in your process.
A Lil Jon reference on a HN thread about Bluesky was most definitely not on my 2025 bingo card. But I'll take it.
> This just simply is not something these allocators suffer from and would be major bugs the projects would solve.

Not OP, but the following logic shows why this claim is bogus. In short: If two non-garbage-collecting memory allocators do anything differently -- other than behave as perfect "mirror images" of each other, so that whenever one allocates byte i, the other allocates byte totalMem-i -- then there exists a program that crashes on one but not the other, and vice versa.

In detail:

If 2 allocators do not allocate exactly the same blocks of memory to the same underlying sequence of malloc() or free() calls, then there exists a program which, if built twice, once using each allocator, and then each executable is run with the same input, will after some time produce different patterns of memory fragmentation.

The first time this difference appears -- let's say, after the first n calls to either malloc() or free() -- the two executables will have the same total number of bytes allocated, but the specific ranges of allocated bytes will be different. The nth such call must be a malloc() call (since if it were a free() call, and allocated ranges were identical after the first n-1 such calls, they would still be identical after the first n, contradicting our assumption that they are different). Then for each executable, this nth malloc() call either allocates a block at or some distance past the end, or it subdivides some existing free block. We can remove the latter possibility (and simplify the proof) by assuming that there is no more memory available past the end of the highest byte thus far allocated (this is allowed, since a computer with that amount of memory could exist).

Now have both programs call free() on every allocated block except the one allocated in operation n. Let the resulting free range at the start of memory (before the sole remaining allocated block) have total length s1 in executable 1 and s2 in executable 2, and let the resulting free range at the end of memory (after that sole remaining allocated block) have length e1 in executable 1 and e2 in executable 2. By assumption, s1≠s2 and e1≠e2. Now have both executables call malloc() twice, namely, on s1 and e1 in descending order. Then, unless s1=e2, executable 1 can satisfy both malloc()s, but executable 2 can satisfy only the first. Similarly, calling malloc() on s2 and e2 in decreasing order will succeed in executable 2 but not executable 1, again unless s1=e2 holds.

What if s1=e2 does hold, though? This occurs when, say, one executable allocates the block 100 bytes from the start of memory, while the other allocates it 100 bytes from the end. In this case, all we need is to keep some second, symmetry-breaking block around at the end in addition to the block allocated by operation n -- that is, a block for which it does not hold that one allocator allocates the mirror-image memory range of the other. (If no such block exists, then the two allocators are perfect mirror images of each other.)

Is glibc being generalist still true? I might be wrong here, but I had the impression it was open and free but behind most others,and e.g. tcmalloc is better on most criteria. Do we have benchmarks and comparisons for the generalist case?
At some point you need to accept that there are sufficient hoops necessary to jump through to disable security that no one would accidentally do it. If you really think that security is so paramount that no level of compromise is acceptable, then
you should be outraged that devs can test their apps on their iPhones.
You should be up in arms at the existence of the App Store that lets you install software written by third parties.
You should be petitioning Apple to remove safari as what could be more insecure that downloading and running arbitrary code from a completely unknown website?
And you should be happy paying $1500 for a function-less, featureless, slab of Titanium with an Apple logo etched on the back, secure in the knowledge that it has no security vulnerabilities whatsoever.

This concept is not new. What people also miss is that you can simply rent dedicated servers instead of going with AWS. Often times the cloud only gets compared to colo, but renting dedicated servers is actually way cheaper and you still don't have to care about hardware, power, networking, etc.
> I simplified it to emphasize that taxing money away from someone leaves them with less money to invest. The issue of tax rates being marginal is irrelevant to that point. Also, for a high income person which is what we are talking about, the marginal tax rate is his overall tax rate.

This isn't generally true. I'm in the top 5% of income earners in my country, and my marginal and effective tax rates differ by a significant amount (35 effective vs 52 marginal).

> As I said, stock buybacks are a method of distributing profits to shareholders without the high tax rate on dividends. That's why it's done, though another reason is to invest in one's own company, which is done in the belief that one's own company is a better investment than investing in others.

That's certainly one rationale. Personally, I dislike them in most cases (they make sense for companies that provide a bunch of compensation in stock). I personally think that dividends encourage market behaviour that is better (I'd never have sold my FB stock if they'd paid me a dividend), as well as reducing number go up as the only way to gain money from investing.

> though another reason is to invest in one's own company, which is done in the belief that one's own company is a better investment than investing in others.

This is really dodgy from my perspective as by definition, a company has more information about their future earnings than another investor does. I realise that this ship has sailed, but personally I'd prefer to reduce dividend taxes for re-investments and ban most buybacks (but again, this is probably a niche position).
Least pipe-dreamy AI comment on HN
Thank you! Owing to some contingent stressors, I currently can't get out of overly analytical language.

But note that the user asked for explanations in both posts, so a concise formula like "online disinhibition effect" probably leaves questions instead of answering them.

And in fact, it is not «just» disinhibition: it is the intent to promote "guts" as opposed to "brains".

"The president has said that the moon moves the seas, what a belch, roar, roar, rise!" // "Actually it does." // "Down with the defender of the president!"

"The president has just saved a child falling from a skyscraper, pouring out love and the wrath of his enemies, should not we feel elated!" // "Are you sure that happened?" // "Down with the opposer of the president!"

That is a sample of what you may find there. If you were a humorist without ideas, maybe...

Isn't garbage output the same, just in different locations? If anything further centralization of collection should be expected to reduce costs.

Water is similar. I'll acknowledge that in a few specific geographic locations there are genuine concerns about the total available supply but that is not the norm. It also isn't some insurmountable problem unless you're in the middle of a vast inland desert (which departs even farther from the norm).

If the local government is failing to oversee the necessary improvements to infrastructure then from my perspective that's a failure of the political process.
It might. But racism is a major more obvious and plausible explanation.
>What we need is a government sponsored regulated social media..

There is no need for social media, a ten thousand idiots does not make one smart man.
Agreed. Europe won't be sovereign until it fully controls its social media, having American billionaires (or the Chinese state) able to manipulate the narrative at will is unviable. Look at the recent situation in Romania with Călin Georgescu or Musk's pro-AFD meddling. It makes the pearl-clutching in the UK about the ownership of the Telegraph look hilariously quaint.
The story of taming the Sonoran Desert includes people from the northerly, Midwest areas of America who suffered various respiratory problems, and whose physicians recommended or prescribed visits to the dry desert air. Just like birds flying south for the winter, there are “snowbirds”: humans who migrate to Arizona during the wintertime.

However, Arizona has plenty of dust and sand and fungus hiding therein. Personally, I was afflicted with Valley Fever when I first arrived here.

The snowbirds who permanently settled here brought most of their hobbies with them, including golf and luxurious bluegrass lawns.

The ground vegetation often necessitates flood irrigation here. Water does not soak into the earth very far, and there are drainage problems. There are Palo Verde trees which generate a “yellow snow” of delicate flowers spreading pollen in certain seasons.

Since COVID-19 made dust masks acceptable and ubiquitous, I wear one anytime there's a risk outside of blowing dust or low air quality. I also cultivate a full beard for natural protection.

You're the person who brought up the Laffer curve. Apparently (so Wikipedia tells me) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laffer_curve (section income tax rate as which revenue is maximised) around 65% is the point at which taxes stop being as effective.

That's interesting to me as I would have thought it was lower.

Note that because of how economics work, this number is from correlational data so is probably not as robust as an experimental approach might be (but unfortunately that's basically impossible to implement).
