Battery tech is improving so some of the "catch fire, if subjected to consecutive five-minute charges" is probably fixed.
Guns have little use beyond injuring or killing or threatening the same. On the good side: one could argue it's sometimes good to kill for hunting. On the bad side... well there is a lot of suicide, murder, and potential for the same.

I'm not sure we understand yet how much positive and how much negative potential there is in AI.
vast.ai have two kinds of servers, what they call "datacenter" and regular ones. Datacenter servers seem to have better internet and a contractual agreement with vast.ai, probably the distinction you're looking for.
Show HN: Crystal, the most accurate U.S. gov't data search tool
Hi everyone! We're relaunching Crystal, which lets you search and analyze 300k+ government datasets using plain English. For example, prompting "Air quality since 2020 in NYC" will find the most relevant datasets for you.

We find it's way better than any search tool out there today, like data.gov. We're hoping anyone who uses public data as a resource, like researchers, consultants, journalists, etc. will find it helpful.

Crystal is straightforward - it's in alpha, so there's only a few queries per person, and the app itself is in its infancy. We're invested in making this better for people, and we'd love feedback + beta signups - you can provide either via https://www.askcrystal.info or down below!

If you'd like to partner with us more closely or have other thoughts, please email us at cedric@crystal.info or ari@crystal.info
> Without looking at any data I’m guessing part of this is that married men end up with kids and can’t afford a home they want to raise kids in there.

It's also that parenting time is up 20 fold from a few generations ago. My parents spent a few hours a week parenting. My kids had 24/7 adulting.
Technically that's known as "LLM-as-judge" and it's all over the literature. The intuition would be that the capability to choose between two candidates doesn't exactly overlap with the ability to generate either one of them from scratch. It's a bit like how (half of) generative adversarial networks work.
“Children” -> Easy to understand the benefit. ~40% of households have children. Some households which do not have children will have children visiting at times. People taking care of children have an obvious and clear interest in wanting to provide entertainment at an appropriate age level.

“Thomas” -> ??? Who came up with this idea? This is an awful idea. It doesn’t make any sense.

We can empathize with people, but ultimately, we don’t have to agree with their complaints. If you have 300 million customers, there’s no one set of UI choices that annoys nobody. The current UI seems to annoy a very small number of people and, in turn, benefits a very large number of people. Needs of the many, and whatnot. I could equally be annoyed by wheelchair ramps. They’re an annoyance to me, but I recognize that they’re very useful to others.
If we just look at these cars purely on their merits, I think they’d still struggle.

You’re talking about a very expensive car with tons of basic quality control issues. The EV market has stalled. I don’t need a car, but I’d probably stick to a classic gas car. Charging stations are still too few in the US.

Teslas feel like luxury secondary cars. With the economy the way it is they won’t sell well
I think you know your point is obtuse. Context matters in a conversation. You got me! Everyone is going you agree with you, including me. But only got me by moving the conversation to somewhere no one was considering and could be well agreed upon that it was out of scope. It's correct, there's no one size fits all.

But I'll also say, in all these applications having good key bindings is still a massive help. Those really good at these programs aren't clicking dropdown menus constantly but are issuing keystrokes in combination with the need for their mouse. In a way, that's not too different even if in another way it is
I think they look super cool. I’ve thought that since they were first announced. Just the coolest looking vehicle I’ve ever seen. My kids go “look dad, a Cybertruck!” Every time one passes.

I bought a Toyota Sequoia around the time they first started rolling out, but seriously considered the Cybertruck but it didn’t seem like it’d be able to haul a travel trailer as well as we’d have liked.
I was wondering that myself.

It led me down the path of imagining two data centers: one in your basement, and one in some office building with a reception area, some cubicles, etc. It seems like the former would see the government breaking down doors and yanking servers off the rack, ripping ethernet cables. The latter would probably see a phone call or perhaps a discussion with reception, followed by a security officer or something.

The suspicious workload could be the exact same in both cases, but this is one of those neat little spots where being a Real Business has massive advantages.
Author of the post here, I really like Go! It's my favorite language! It has absolutely nailed high concurrency programming in a way that other languages' solutions make me cringe to think through (await/async are so gross and unnecessary!)

If you are intending to do something that has multiple concurrent tasks ongoing at the same time, I would definitely reach for Go (and maybe be very careful or skip entirely using channels). I also would reach for Go if you intend to work with a large group of other software engineers. Go is rigid; when I first started programming I thought I wanted maximum flexibility, but Go brings uniformity to a group of engineers' output in a way that makes the overall team much more productive IMO.

Basically, I think Go is the best choice for server-side or backend programming, with an even stronger case when you're working with a team.
It’s subjective. I think it’s currently ugly but subtly so. I think with a few changes (that I can’t articulate) it would be a pretty good looking vehicle.
If a bot claims to be from an AI company, but isn't from the AI company's IP range, then it's lying and its activity is plain abuse. In that case, you shouldn't serve them a proof of work system; you should block them entirely.
It comes from an ancient legal regime called “community property” inherited from the Spanish in the southwestern US. The details of what is within legal scope and how it is handled varies significantly with jurisdiction. In most cases the loss of ownership independence also comes with a loss of management independence — your spouse can get involved and has veto power. Assets that are out of scope can bleed into scope over time. The entire notion interacts poorly with modern legal and financial structures related to businesses and assets.

It isn’t talked about much but I’ve seen a couple startups destroyed by this and it is a not uncommon source of dead equity in cap tables.
The only way I could see this not ending badly is if you’re renting space for your friends. Presumably you would be selling whatever you’re renting at cost.

Even renting space within a community you’re a part of, like a local makerspace, seems like a bad idea. While it would probably mitigate the worst risks, could still leave you with people dissatisfied with the level of service.

Keep your sympathies, it's a narrow-minded view to assume all Americans wanted this. We didn't. And it's not like we had a real, ethical choice. The runner-up was going to be business as usual with foreign politics, enabling genocides and engaging in proxy wars and regime changes for the control of energy and resources. Many people did not believe either candidate was legitimate or shouldn't be in prison.
Agreed. Also their name make it seem like it is totally new model.

If they needed to assign their own name to it, at least they could have included the parent (and grant parent) model names in the name.

Just like the name DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-7B clearly says that it is a distilled Qwen model.

I have replied to another comment with more details: the channel mutex is not the same one that sync.Mutex is using.

The article that the OP article references does not show the code for their benchmark, but I must assume it's not using a large number of goroutines.

It was ~26 in 1890 reached a low of around 22 in the 1950s, and has been trending up since; its been consistently lower for women, though that gap has fluctuated over time and compressed recently to less than 2 years.

> the complaints about channels have largely been received and agreed upon by experienced Go developers. Channels are still useful but they were way more prominent in the early days of Go as a solution to lots of problems, and nowadays are instead understood as a sharp tool only useful for specific problems.

As the author of the post, it's really gratifying to hear that this is your assessment nowadays. I agree, and while I'm not sure I had much to do with this turn of events (it probably would have happened with or without me), curbing the use of channels is precisely why I wrote the post. I felt like Go could be much better if everyone stopped messing around with them. So, hooray!
We were never gonna scale our population much further anyways. Arguably, the social changes we’ve seen could be a response to our reaching a (very approximate) carrying capacity and experiencing friction against further growth in myriad ways. That’s the way I’ve been thinking about it at least.

> That wasn’t previously really an option for most people - for a lot of structural reasons.

I’d be interested to hear more about this if its no trouble. I’m in my twenties so not much knowledge of this stuff.
The LLMs can help with the writing of the tests, but you should verify that they're testing critical aspects and known edge cases are covered. A single review-promoted LLM can then utilize those across the PRs and provide a summary for acceptance the the best. Or discard all and do manually; that initial process should only have taken a few minutes, so minimal wastage in the grand scheme of things, given over time there are a decent amount of acceptances, compared to the alternative 100% manual effort and associated time sunk.

Many manifestations of generative AI allow people to put concepts onto screens faster. It generally serves as a more efficient translator of "I want a contract like this one but more tailored to [new client]" or "I want to make a strategy for my [new business]."

In information economy jobs, translating thoughts and ideas into better formal communications more efficiently is valuable. Be it pictures or text.

I also suspect these are reasons people give because they feel more concrete and defensible.

I suspect a more significant but harder to concretize cause is that certain social changes have lead to the majority of young people being unable to form healthy attachments and pair bond.

The causes ranging from a high percentage of kids growing up in single parent households and forming avoidant personality styles, social media leading to higher rates of narcissism, dating apps setting unrealistic standards and a perception that there’s always a better option etc

Which is kind of a silly age range to use for this purpose in Seattle, since Washington (unlike a number of other states) does not permit child (under 18) marriages and declares any marriage contracted by anyone under 18 void.
Thank you for your concern, truly. But I’m here to engage in thoughtful dialogue about the frontiers of artificial cognition.

> Downsize - I know it’s hard to talk about, but if your quad CPU, 2TB RAM monster can’t run because it’s too expensive and you need the money, get something smaller that’s better suited for your workloads.

A lot of homelabs start with free discarded enterprise gear from work, which turns out to be both power-hungry and loud.

I ended up buying Atom servers for awhile, and modding them to be even quieter.

Then, recently, I offloaded all 24/7 stuff to cloud servers/services.
Well that's pretty much a fact, so why exactly do you want someone to change your view?
IMO, this is a side effect from centralization under the name of security/convenience. We deserve the Internet we have today because the majority of folks don't want to learn and prefer digital nanny states and walled gardens.
I'm not totally disagreeing. But the problem is that there is not just the dollar cost of contracts.

If the governor's cousin cuts corners to save money, it puts lives at risk. Or the thing doesn't last as long and costs more money later. The cost difference is rarely just pure price gouging.

A cop planting evidence to make an expedient trial is also a form of cost cutting that I really don't want. But when people see corruption or legal corner cutting they will believe it's acceptable to do themselves. There is a broken windows or slippery slope situation.

Legible but inefficient systems can be corrected through sensible redesign. Corrupt systems are a cancer that spreads as good actors are pushed out.

I would be supportive of a DOGE style effort that actually looked carefully and critically at systems to rearchitect them. But accepting illegality will simply produce a low-trust society with many bigger problems.
Similar behavior in the s6 overlay framework for containers. Some files do things just by existing IIRC
I mean, I'd buy it if it was like $5000, a compact car, and the person running the company wasn't an unlovable sociopath. Some people like the janky cheap aesthetic.

But $100k for a car like that is a complete insult to good taste. It'd be like selling a luxury 1.5m container home. The low price tag is the entire point of the jank aesthetic. You're supposed to be communicating that you reject the idea of "keeping up with the Joneses" and wear the aesthetic imperfections of the lower economic class as a badge of honor.

Of course, as with every cultural movement of any nuance, real world Dr. Eggman completely missed the point here and shat all over everything with his tone-deaf Rich Frat Boy With Asperger's schtick.

Do you have a source on Wikipedia vs Britannica, because from what I heard, they were pretty close, from even early on for Wikipedia.
(https://www.cnet.com/tech/tech-industry/study-wikipedia-as-a...)

Neither is a primary source though, but the advantage of linking to an encyclopedia is that it provides a plain-English summarization of the primary sources, as well as pertinent reference to those sources.

Large language models have historically been incapable of providing sources, but newer models are gaining the ability to do so, which is making them as useful as encyclopedias. Until everyone starts using sourced output from LLMs, we get to see who is blindly trusting hallucinations.

Yeah - last update on the web page was, what, December? I think they're going to get outrun by the rest of the market. "Walking dead", possibly. If I can get NUC+XReals+some sort of integrated desktop then they'd need something really compelling to make their headset worthwhile at the price they're aiming at.

More pharmacy options is fine by me. The Mark Cuban branded pharmacy that everyone was excited about can be a good option if you have no insurance and you’re careful to check the grand total (inclusive of shipping fees) against your local pharmacy.

The few times I checked, it was net cheaper for me to go to the local pharmacy though. Many generic drugs are $2-5 these days and ordering through an online pharmacy with shipping fees is both slower and more expensive.

If Amazon could integrate cheap generics into their shipping infrastructure it would solve the shipping problem. If they made the effort to work with insurance they’d be a great option.

I’m perfectly fine with a race to the bottom for medication dispensing middlemen.
Yes they can be right, I agree. Also I never stated I disagreed with them.

I simply questioned their independence.

My take is Biden sounds old. The sitting president sounds brain-damaged and unquestionably is in no condition to be making such impactful decisions. The wavering we see right now is because the different factions making the decisions are struggling against each other.
The names are arbitrary but the underlying color theory is not. Colors are different wavelengths of light and our eyes have sensors that are sensitive to specific wavelengths.
> Since CSP is mentioned, how much would this apply to most applications anyway? If I write a small server program, I probably won't want to write it on paper first. With one possible exception I never heard of anyone writing programs based on CSP (calculations?)

CSP is really in the realm of formal methods. No you wouldn't formulate your server program as CSP, but if you were writing software for a medical device, perhaps.

This is the FDR4 model checker for CSP, it's a functional programming language that implements CSP semantics and may be used to assert (by exhaustion, IIRC) the correctness of your CSP model.

I believe I'm in the minority of Go developers that have studied CSP, I fell into Go by accident and only took a CSP course at university because it was interesting, however I do give credit to studying CSP for my successes with Go.
