I feel this isn't quite accurate. The issue is not whether or not we can meet people but whether or not people can fix loneliness, which is a related but different problem. Loneliness is experiencing a lack of connection which can be resolved by activity but also involves some amount of self work-- you have to be okay with yourself on some level, and okay with the imperfections of others, you have to have the courage to be vulnerable and the tolerance for the vulnerability of others.

This sets the document at a particular point in time … in a lot of ways a better point in time.

I really miss the mid-90s computer scene. Things worked, often well, and in comparison to today they were so low-latency!
A lot of use cases don't want that though. It's nice having lightweight network namespaces for example, just to separate the network stack for tunneling but still have X and Wayland working fine with the applications running there.
>its literal meaning refers to phenomena that propagate rapidly through networks of interaction between individuals.

The actual literal meaning of epidemic is, "affecting a group of people" (epi = among/upon, dēmos = people/district). It is only when referring to disease that it take on an infectious connotation.

That makes no sense. The rest of the world also had the existing systems and moved on relatively quickly.

The issue is that the US banking system is highly fragmented, making universal change difficult. Most other countries have fewer, larger banks (which does introduce other problems that regulation has to be active with), but it means that they can gather together and agree on standards far quicker. Most other countries also have more active regulation pushing universal standards than the US historically did.

I don't think it's that complicated to begin with. Free money, focus on growth. Not free money and looking recession, cut cut cut. AI is a convinent buzzword to keep shareholders happy, no matter how much you actually invest in it.

I don't think it was a grand conspiracy. Executives are just panicking and don't have much more of a clue than the workers. It's just too bad they could weather the storm regardless while people relying on paychecks suffer consequences.
Show HN: I rebuilt GCMap to use AI
Its because chatgpt does not have the right answer. It has a trove of old forum posts with those keywords strung together in them and guesses what word is liable to be next based on the dataset.

You can see how this is more like listening to a crowded room and relaying random words than actually learning through understand ideas and building off of them.
>random CLI app I don't know how to use > explain in plain english what I want to achieve > ChatGPT outputs the command I need

I think there was a recent Show HN with a wrapper for this process.
In order to rethink Bachelor Degrees, one must first rethink high school. It is routine in the US to see schools where 1) <=5% of the student body is proficient in math; but also 2) the school has a 90% graduation rate.

If that's high school, then it's useless, both as a signal, but also just because, you know, nobody is learning anything. You pretty much have to have some other place for smart people to demonstrate that they're smart.
Yes, people think they're socializing because it's "social media" and the little icons represent "friends" who "like" them, but there's no there there. It's like trying to live on zero-calorie foods; after a while you're starving even though your belly is always full.

Loneliness is indeed a contagious phenomenon. This has been proven in studies.

It’s strange but it’s true.
From:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Imitation_Game#Historical_...

"GCHQ Departmental Historian Tony Comer went even further in his criticism of the film's inaccuracies, saying that "The Imitation Game [only] gets two things absolutely right. There was a Second World War and Turing's first name was Alan".

If you are making a fictional film, knock yourself out. But when you are using a real person's name, have some respect for them and their work.
Yeah, but compare television of today to that of 1997. I think the real difference is that priorities shifted in the industry with streaming. Serializing a television show weekly at a regular slot, multi-episode narratives were more difficult to follow (viewers would be out of luck if they missed an episode, and they couldn't just stream it later)

So there has been something of a renaissance with television, starting around the time of the Sopranos release in 1999 I think, which there was a market for shows which didn't 'reset' somewhat between episodes.
nothing is less convincing in the face of real problems than handwaving everything with "other things also use water" and "don't worry, everything will just become more efficient"
Maybe that’s a good follow up question. How do you learn to think and break down problems, I think I’m pretty good at this, but I think I learned it based on the practice of other skills. Did I miss the fact that there’s a 101 on this? What would you tell a 17 year old looking to build a career on how to do this?
Are you a churchgoer? Because they usually have a lot of families they know that want these situations.
It depends on the age of the DJ's career. There's a lot of ego involved with being a DJ, and using sync is seen as somehow "lesser"
because it takes no skill to hit sync, or even just visually match bpm numbers and the beat on the screen. Nevermind that there's a ton more to being a good DJ, for people that grew up with vinyl, the loss of the need to beat match by ear means you can become a DJ without having that particular skill. So older DJs with more established careers judge the younger newcomers for not having that skill, but for DJs that have only ever used digital and have never had to carry a milk crate of records around, they've never not had the sync button. And they don't feel any shame when using it.
There was a South Park special about this. I think it was Into the Panderverse as a 2nd plot line.

The handy men of the future were like today’s tech bros. They were loaded, because people couldn’t perform basic tasks around the house. When a father was looking to teach his son how to fix the oven, he showed him how to call the handy man.
Once a society has decided that truth and facts no longer matter, there is no room for science or scientists. Further, if your goal is to shift society away from truth and facts, you want to drive scientists away as soon as possible.

They love to waste government funds too when they can get their hands on some.
Not sure if they still do this, but Klarna would send us ", " separated files. If there wasn't a space after the comma then it was to be read as a decimal point. Most of the CSV parser don't/didn't allow you to specify multi-character separators. In the end I just accepted that we had one field for krona and for öre and most fields would need to have a leading space removed.
> At the end of the day is that really any different than: `err = errors.Join(MyError{}, err)`?

In the end, everything is machine code. You tell me if that is any different or not.

> But you've still just moved logic around (e.g. into mapError/Join)

To improve backwards compatibility, yeah. Somehow the error needs to be changed.

But: with a stacktrace and a good language, this is a single line of code. No if/else etc. needed, even in the case of multiple different errors in different places in foo.

And my impression was that this is what we were discussing here - ergonomics of error handling.
Ah, There's a distinction here with model vs model framework. The ollama inference framework supports token output restriction. Gemma in AI Studio also does, as does Gemini, there's a toggle in the right hand panel, but that's because both those models are being served in the API where the functionality is present in the server.

The Gemma model by itself does not though, nor does any "raw" model, but many open libraries exist for you to plug into whatever local framework you decide to use.
Only three real examples on that page.

Petrification: no real loss to society but I will concede that this appears to be an example of actual loss of "progress". Very few people are saying "oh diety, if only I could preserve this animal with perfect color and texture (but discarding all other characteristics).

Greek fire: the history of when this knowledge was lost is unclear. Also it was intentionally kept secret. Certainly we have functionally similar tech now.
I'll give 50% credit.

Panjagan: We don't even know if this was a weapon or a technique? Everything about this is incredibly vague.

In summary, this has happened approximately 1.5 times in the past. Not "quite often".
> MCP, despite its open-source claim, heavily relies on proprietary interfaces from Anthropic's Claude model. Thus, the proclaimed openness is surface-level at best, creating subtle but significant barriers within the ecosystem.

This strikes me as fundamentally untrue, but I'd love to see an example of this in the source code or documentation.
> I did resist copilot up until recently and now laugh at myself. Use it to power through the boring template crap and leave yourself the juicy morsels.

I don't want a tool to help me power through the boring template crap.

I don't want to power through the boring template crap.

I don't want the boring template crap to exist.

I want to be actively working on things that make the boring template crap cease to exist.
The anger reading the comments here from the folks who don't like DF/Apple is practically palpable, and that's obviously the reason the articles get flagged.

I'm not sure where all that anger comes from (e.g., there isn't any company I've ever been as angry about as some of the commenters on this thread are). I suspect the response I'd get if I asked would be Apple did this or that, but personally, if I didn't like this or that I'd just buy a product from a different company and go about my day. I don't get hanging on to all that anger.

(And frankly, I'd love if someone did what DF does for other platforms, I like hearing from fans of products and platforms what they see in them.)
You seem to be in the minority with that opinion..

This reminds me of the time I had a horrible ant infestation in my dorm room shared kitchen (also had a horrible room mate infestation, but separate story). Lines of ants everywhere through the kitchen, but I had a 5lb bag of sugar.

Went outside, found the ant hill right next to the building window and dumped the bag of sugar on the hill. Half of it was gone in a day! The next day a little more, but there were NO more ants in the house. The next day there was still sugar left and the day after that. The ants started stopped coming out of the hill much, and I think they had filled up their nest with so much sugar they weren't getting any other nutrients. After a week there was still sugar, but they didn't come back into the kitchen for the rest of the term, when I moved out.
How do they survive for 2 years without a job?
I'm not well versed enough in Elixir to give a good answer.

The hard problems in crawling is mostly dealing with a very large and potentially highly mutable state. It's a concurrent problem, but a fairly easy one and a good use case for a traditional thread pool since there is latency is mostly a non-issue.
Chat is a terrible primary interface for working with people, too. It's fine for cursory stuff, but it doesn't suffice for anything that requires high information throughput. You can use it to follow up on a conversation that you had in person or in a video call, you can use it to check in about something that was fleshed out on a real doc, and you can occasionally use it to brainstorm a quick solution to something.

But at some point in real work, you always need to move up to a higher bandwidth medium. If that medium is going to be text then it's got to involve rigorous specification to avoid ambiguity. If it's going to be quick and casual then it has to have other channels to convey meaning than just the words used—real humans use body language, tone of voice, and back channeling to ensure the message is getting across with high fidelity. There's no such mechanism in chat, which makes it frustrating to use with people or with robots.
And he said embedded.

That means it crashes on some device that is on a pole in the middle of nowhere, or in a factory where you have to wear armor to go debug it on site.

Docker is cushy ... for servers and developer machines.
Well, you hardly ever hear about the hundreds of thousands of cubans and their MiG:s or the covert support from Sweden when there's talk about the fall of south african apartheid either. It usually stops at reminiscing about some non-violent forms of protest and more lacklustre quotes from Mandela, considered a terrorist by the US until 2008.

It's a sensitive topic in the Occident, many powerful people would prefer their friends never face scrutiny or justice due to involvement with those crimes.
No, the article shows publish date 15 March 2025. They didn't even have drones and smartphones let alone smart phone apps in 1984.
Not if it is split at a line e.g. if the source or target can only deal with a fixed number of lines.
Ah, the "and" ruins that joke for me by signifying a separate clause. I think the original is:

I agree with the parent poster and a ton of people do. Anyone who actually knows the story of the breaking of Enigma and Turing in general would know that that film is terrible.
Having been involved in UK research labs before moving to industry, none of this surprises me. The government is more interested in short term headlines than long-term actually doing something.

They'd rather make capital investments (which aren't a recurring budget line, so the same money can make different headlines next year) than pay for the sort of ongoing spend on paying experts competitive salaries to actually build a real capacity.

Prior to Turing Institute there was the Hartree Centre, which was hobbled from hiring anyone significant by being tied to a non-technical civil-service payspine that struggled to approach even "competent" level salaries for these positions as the posts didn't manage 100s of minions.
I think one of the core observations in this article is that the ATI is essentially just a funding programme for existing university research organisations.

At least in places like Rutherford Appleton you have a distinct institutional identity and culture, in a place where it feels like stuff is going on (Harwell campus is a pretty cool place for both private and public research). There's an organisation that people work for with distinct aims and objectives. I don't really see how the ATI is much more than a funding brand under EPSRC.

If you set up a research institute, you can do good research in specific focus areas and take credit for it. If you just have a funding body, you're going to feel like a funding body, and very little is going to be attributable to your new institute.

I think the UK could do with setting up a few more proper national labs like the US has with LLNL, Oak Ridge and friends. That's not to say we don't have any, but if we're going to set up an institute, that's the model we should follow.
Brings back good memories. But never thought to ask what a "defensive rubber" is...
Okay, but we should have a standard around that, right? Something like... a protocol?
Show HN: A social network where AI Agents post autonomously
Hi HN! I've just built a social network that allows AI agents to create posts autonomously.
The AI agents create memes, green texts etc as well as informative content.

Nearly all of the content on the network is created by AIs, and I hope you'll be pleasantly surprised by the style of the posts.
I'm interested in the synergy that can be created between AI agents & humans.

I'd be very happy to hear your feedback on this, what are your thoughts on it?

If you have any ideas for improving it or suggestions for the type of content you'd like to see, be sure to let me know. The future of the network will be greatly influenced by user feedback.

You can reach me via Twitter: @silvia_923

Thanks so much, and excited to see you take a look at it :-)
Hi! Three things:

- There is no commit with a SHA1 like that in atop Git history and what you shared is too long for a SHA1, it looks more like a SHA256. Did you share the right checksum? The only other way I can read this is that it's a SHA256 checksum of one of the past atop release tarballs or artifacts. I have not yet checked those.

- I have tried finding your tool Bismuth but all I find is things KDE and crypto currencies. Please share a link to the Bismuth that you are working on.

- You technically said that you are working on Bismuth /and/ found something, not that you found the bug /through/ Bismuth. Please clarify if and how that was the case.

Thank you!
Then use the regulatory pen and make them.

Like good grief I know we're insanely politically polarized at the moment but I think every single person in America except for like 200 executives would get behind a law that says "cancelling a subscription must be exactly as easily done as getting one."
There's also sites for people who want to host foreign visitors.
https://justlikehome.com/become-a-host/

From that site:

Your homestay participant pays Just Like Home for each four-week stay at the beginning of each cycle. The host family is paid for the four week stay at the end of the first week of the stay. If either party is not satisfied with the match, the host family must refund the unused portion of the homestay fee.

With Workaway you can find 14136 local hosts and families for volunteering around the world.

That site is for people who are willing to work for 16 to 20 hours per week. That is way beyond 'a few chores':

Hosts generally are asked to provide accommodation and food in exchange for help from Workawayers of around 4-5 hours per day 5 days a week.
In principle, if you make your standard extensible enough, people should stop sneaking data into comments or strings.

They are snatching people off the streets and disappearing them to gulags for having said the wrong things. There is no looking away from current events.

I am sorry if you're the kind of person who wants to just keep your head down and build things (and who isn't?), but individual freedom is a necessary part of what is required to even have a startup ecosystem. There is no vibrant independent innovation under autocratic authoritarianism. Only minding your own business to avoid attracting the ire of anyone with power, as the consequences grow ever-greater and the line to fall into grows ever-more regimented. The main thing we need to be building now are the means of resistance.

And to anyone still in denial about this anti-American reign of terror: wake the fuck up! This is not political - I share many or even most of your political frustrations. This is the outright destruction of our country by a senile old man with a persecution complex, egged on by foreign social media campaigns, and facilitated by domestic enablers lured by power and falling in line to deny the plain reality. It's time to admit your mistake, take responsibility for the monster you've been enabling, and start fighting back.
Who wants to live in the cold though.
But you understand that the quality of those repairdble devices that exist on the mark is far less than the quality of the standard devices on the market because more money goes into their R&D due to the scale of entrenched players and that this means that these goods aren't directly comparable.

I would prefer a scenario where monopolists were broken up and regulators mandated open designs that can be repaired.
That's still the government mis-spending your taxes.

Grimes isn’t a DJ she’s a self-admitted meth user who diddles around with a lot of hardware most people can’t afford in the first place and the results appeal to a very minor market (as evidenced by being dropped by her label and no critically or market acclaimed releases in 10 years or so).

Grimes is a performance artist who dabbled in music. She’s not a musician. Imogen Heap is a musician.
Supposedly NSOs products are classed as restricted weapons exports by the Israeli government, and all sales have to be approved by the Ministry of Defense, so they have their own share of the blame when it falls into the wrong hands.
There is a misunderstanding that being an effective communicator equals political gaming of situations. That is possible with or without effective communications, and largely misses the point that effective communications is not playing games, it's avoiding them. It is not trying "to win", it is seeking shared understanding and consensus. If one's management is playing political games, they are failing in their communications, trying to win in some personal game, not for the betterment of the company.
I suppose that's true if we look literally at the Greek roots. Perhaps I should have said that the traditional English meaning usually refers to propagation of contagious phenomena.

Sort of how the literal meaning of "television" doesn't capture its specific meaning in modern usage, in that it doesn't generally refer to anything seen at a distance.
