Maybe I do not have a good definition for it.

But what I see again and again in LLMs is a lot of combinations of possible solutions that are somewhere around internet (bc it put that data in). Nothing disruptive, nothing thought out like an experimented human in a specific topic. Besides all the mistakes/hallucinations.

It is a mostly pointless exercise if the goal is trying to contain negative impact of AI agents (e.g. OpenClaw).

It is a very necessary building block for many common features that can be steered in a more deterministic way, e.g. "code interpreter" feature for data analysis or file creation like commonly seen in chat web UIs.

The article (with its doom-scrolling) suggests some stats phones should have:

    Dismissing a notification ...... 22%
    Intentional use ................ 20%
    Checking something that pinged . 18%
    Replying to a person ........... 15%
    Updating/configuring/fixing .... 12%
    Unlocking, forgetting why ...... 8%
    Managing a subscription ........ 5%

The real headache is that everything with a network connection needs system administration.

Look at how conveniently you chose to ignore the fan's age, attributing his behaviour to unwilling or luddite! Or do you really have absolutely no idea, what it means to be 81 years old? Still, I would bet you have met at least some people of such an age.

The "Performance Improvements in .NET" blog lists the new JIT support for instruction sets each year.

It's literally a 2 sentence article. Might as well have just tweeted "Adobe makes me mad"

There's been more going on than just the default to medium level thinking - I'll echo what others are saying, even on high effort there's been a very significant increase in "rush to completion" behavior.

So like Testcontainers Cloud?

Yes - pretty much the same as supplying tobacco/alcohol to minors. My point is that we've got a system which more or less works already, so it's just a matter of extending it for adult website verification.

> I think spreadsheets are a greater example of something that require the subtleties of an actual GUI

I've been wondering about this too. I think a great TUI could get it done though, but it remains to be seen how it could really stack up. If I didn't have so many projects already, I'd give this a shot because I would really love a "vim" for spreadsheets

F3D, open source 3D viewer just released v3.5.0 whichs add .ifc, .laz, .las, .exr, .hdr support, and much more!

They don't really receive special accommodation for not using technology outside of being allowed to submit some required tax forms on paper instead of e-filing them, the logic being that the government requires them to do so under pain of punishment, so the government has to find a way to let them do it without violating their religious beliefs.

But there is not a general accommodation provided.

Hello there, I am a full-stack developer based in BC, Canada, with experience in tools like JavaScript/TS, React, Node.js, Express, and Postgres, and I am also comfortable working with AWS and AI(rag/agents). I recently developed Rabbitory, an open-source RabbitMQ deployment/management platform (https://rabbitory.github.io/). I also built a Datadog LLM trace exporter for Mastra AI (https://mastra.ai/docs/observability/tracing/exporters/datad...).

even then the swiss don't exactly have the cleanest record. There's a reason they're neutral and it isn't because they're morally superior

These threads are always the same. "No way the we [the US] can have $nice_thing because density, size, heterogeneity". Applies to internet, trains, functioning democracy, a lack school shootings, and all things decent. It's all bollocks of course. Nobody is asking for a dense railway network across a desert or fast internet for every last cabin in Alaska.

It's such a bore.

Granted, Europeans (so me) can be arrogant about these things.

I’m super interested since it seems like you have given everything a lot of thought and effort but I am not sure I understand it.

When I’m thinking of sandboxes, I’m thinking of isolated execution environments.

What does forking sandboxes bring me? What do your sandboxes in general bring me?

Please take this in the best possible way: I’m missing a use case example that’s not abstract and/or small. What’s the end goal here(

> The child protection angle is just a cover story. The actual reason for this legislation is to ban anonymous publishing; to ensure that every post on the internet can be linked back to an identity for retaliation.

This is it. Perfect.

The amount of money pouring into surveillance of all kinds (led by companies like palantir and so many others). It's surveillance capitalism without the capitalism.

People create these illusions about a system, about a country and will fight to the end to defend those illusions. The reality of what actually exists beneath the shiny (propagandized) surface is so much darker.

For sure, there are plenty of such people. They are still very small minority.

Almost everybody I know has a tendency to not overly check the statements that broadly align with their world view, and be dismissive (as propaganda, without doing the work to check the ground truth data) of statements that are contrary.

> Its so silly everyone being dependent on a black box like this

It's the logical result of "You will own nothing and you will be happy"... You are getting to the point where you won't even own thoughts (because they'll come from the LLM), but you'll be happy that you only have to wait 5 hours to have thoughts gain.

What do you mean? A kid is anyone younger than the speaker. My step dad used to refer to Bill Clinton as a kid because he was the first president younger than him.

>Generating badges has loopholes.

This seems to be an area where people will always find loopholes. Should this be a race-to-the-bottom in an attempt to make the most foolproof system possible, or do we at some point accept that maybe there's never going to be a perfect way to do this?

>And IDing every person can be a mission on itself.

I've worked the door at venues of various sizes, so it's not like I suggested this from ignorance. What we're talking about doesn't need to be "every person", just a specific set of ticketholders.

>Pretty sure they will just start using biometrics in the next decade with or without your consent.

I know I'm just me, speaking for me, and am a sample size of 1 that doesn't look like the general population in this regard, but there's no "with or without my consent" if I decide to opt out of going to games entirely. It'll be a cold day in hell before I give someone my biometrics just so I can watch someone try and hit a ball.

I agree with you that Bretton Woods was doomed from the beginning, both Keynes and Friedman said so, and this should be a better known POV. Economists are not historians though, and historians write human-driven stories (i.e., it was Nixon who ended Bretton Woods, it's not that it was going to inevitably collapse as an econometric question).

All that said, Bretton Woods matters because people look at the gold standard as a time when wages in the United States rose. Like that's why Bernie Bros on HN care. It's the same reason they oppose globalization: me me me. So it's worth knowing why it was flawed. They don't comprehend that before and after Bretton Woods, hourly wage charts measured a fundamentally different thing.

I think it's better to attack the charts - I mean, you're responding to a Charts Guy, a guy who's like, look at this Gold Denominated Chart guy - because that's what their brains work on. Don't worry about economics. These guys are not economists. They are Charts. The real attack on their worldview is that, well, just because the year in the X axis is an increasing, doesn't mean that you can compare a bigger year to a smaller year. They would really like the world to be ordered that way, but it's not, and taking leadership on convincing them of that is very hard.

You cannot name 2 of your children the same names.

The title and article are missing a major component, Israel. What long-term assurances will the world get that they won't unilaterally reignite hostility? They see this as an existential issue, so they will also need assurances that Iran will not continue to seek their destruction.

80 year old people do not have the same neuroplasticity as 20 year olds. It is not reasonable to expect them to quickly learn new things that are constantly changing.

In particular, it's very reasonable to be 80 and decide "I don't want to deal with learning how to use a smartphone and getting one".

I suppose that's fair, and I concede, though I think you can play with the definition enough to make anything spreadsheet (even GUIs and webapps) be "reinvention" of visicalc, so I think the term is actually pretty meaningless.

I would love to see the effect of the mirror's effect on the motion of the camera in a weightless environment. I bet it's enough to measurably affect the picture, especially on a long exposure. Net torque of it opening and then closing should be near (but probably not exactly) zero, but while it's open the camera should spin a tiny amount.
