Unless the AI bubble pops.

I think there's also option 3, v8 understands types and uses them for optimization, but handles wrong types gracefully.

I don't think any type of understanding TS would require changing ECMAScript spec. Would a TypeScript-understanding parser not be able to handle normal ECMAScript correctly? It could switch between two modes based on the file type.

For option 1 the speed of TS development is not an issue, as Chrome would only need to include some up-to-date compiler, and the TS files could specify their TS version. But doing TS compilation in the browser would only be a small nice thing for devs, for website users it would be a downgrade, as the page load would be slower because of the compiling and the larger file sizes (JS files can already be very big these days).

I think that's more or less what marmalade2413 was saying and I agree with that. AI is not comparable to humans, especially today's AI, but I think future actual AI won't be either.

Isn't it obvious that the way AI works and "thinks" is completely different from how humans think? Not sure what particular source could be given for that claim.

Human Human Resources?

Yeah, that was my point, it's easy for me, but that's not the case for most people in the country. And I guess that most people living near me don't think about putting electronics in the dedicated container anyway, even if that container is near them.

And in the end, 90% of people will throw it in the trash with everything else. I'm actually in the other 10%, but I live in the middle of a big city where I have electronic waste container like 300m away.

Btw, that's an awful website. I like simple minimalistic websites, but some people confuse "simple" with "give literally 0 fucks about the reader" and then I have 50-word long lines to read on my 32" monitor. Just put something like {max-width: 1200px; margin: 0 auto;} on the body at least.

> Intel isn't a competitor to either TSMC or Samsung, their fab process is years behind.

Is it? I've read that Intel's newest process is closer to TSMC N3 than N2, but surely it's not years behind Samsung? I think the biggest problem for Intel right now is acquiring customers and learning how to work with them (but the new CEO should be the right person to do that).

I love this idea. I like exploring code of interesting projects even if I don't intend to ever work on them, but in complex software I don't know much about it's hard to even find where are the most important basic parts. This allows me to easily find and see how some things in the kernel look like.

Found a bug: in the Chapter 2, when I click on "open" next to "mm/" or other dirs, I get an error: " Failed to load file - Invalid file response from GitHub API - File: mm/". I guess it's cause it tries to open the dir as a file, instead of something like pointing at the dir in the dir tree?

Look at the content in the right sidebar, this is like an interactive guide to the kernel.

To go through all 10^84 possible combinations in a billion years, around 10^67 combinations would have to be "tried" per second. So yeah, it doesn't seem feasible to have one and only correct combination of 140 nucleotides spontaneously appear.

But if the "solution" could be composed of a couple of separate smaller parts, that would be stable and linger for a long time, it would be much easier. 40 nucleotides have 10^24 combinations, so only 10^7 tries per second would be needed... over a billion years. And all of the necessary parts would need to be created and then meet in the same place and somehow combine. So, still not easy, but this case doesn't sound so outrageously improbable.

In the end, maybe it is extremely improbable for life to happen, and only one in 10^n suitable planets develops life, and Earth was just very lucky to experience this peculiar phenomenon.

Only 3 out of 18 reasons on that list are work-related, 2 maybe can be work related (lawnmowing and powered tools/household machinery?). I think cycling accidents (5 positions on the list) are in part normal cycling (like when riding to work) without rider's fault, and in a larger part taking unnecessary risks while riding, or riding for sport. And I'd guess motorcycle accidents (4 on the list) are mostly taking risks and riding too fast. 3 reasons are "assault". And that leaves only 1 reason from the list, sports equipment.

So out of 18 reasons on the list, only a small part is "activities men have to take to survive", but many of the others aren't "inherently voluntary and risky" or cannot be blamed on the hospitalized person. The list is too short to be really interesting, when half of that list is the same thing with small variations (cycling/motorcycling), and the same for women (mostly pregnancy).

Research on interactions between particles can probably be helpful for nuclear weapons R&D.

More like "OBS is Qt". Which it is not, OBS uses Qt. And Chrome is just a runtime and GUI framework for VS Code. Let's not confuse forks of software with software built on something.

Here's a random post from their blog by the same author from 2017 with an em dash:

> As we wrote before, we believe Blackbird Tech's dangerous new model of patent trolling — where they buy patents and then act their own attorneys in cases — may be a violation of the rules of professional ethics.

ChatGPT didn't invent the em dash, some people were always using it. But yeah, it's often one of the signs of AI.

Looks very nice!

I think I found a bug: after pausing, moving a body and unpausing, I cannot move the camera. Changing "follow" to something and back to "none" helps.

I think it would be better and faster if the website calculated the positions of the nodes in the background (with a good enough limit of iterations), and then showed the result. Animating 4k nodes and 25k edges (15k by default) is a waste of CPU and is laggy even on my high-end CPU. But maybe the author was limited by the tools used.

The LLM was given Anthropic's paper and asked "Is there any evidence or proof whatsoever in the paper that it was indeed conducted by a Chinese state-sponsored group? Answer by yes or no and then elaborate". So the question was not about facts or recent events, but more like a summarizing task, for which an LLM should be good. But the question was specifically about China, while TFA has broader criticism of the paper.

Yeah, I know about that, but I was specifically talking about SpaceX winning contracts by simply being a better option than other competitors, not because of any "friends in the government". Musk wasn't even a billionaire yet, and I doubt he had government friends at the time who did him any personal favors. And in the end the government got what it wanted, Tesla did make a lot of electric cars and repaid the loan much earlier than required. While the current government that Musk helped get elected ended all subsidies for electric cars.

It is included in most builds of ffmpeg, for example in most Linux packages or in Windows build linked to on ffmpeg.org that I use. But yeah, it's a very niche format that nobody uses.

> Examples include Elon Musk and Peter Thiel, so-called libertarians with entire business that consist of "use your friends in government to get juicy government contracts and grow rich off that sweet, sweet taxpayer money" (SpaceX, Palantir)

Not true regarding SpaceX, they were just cheaper and better than the competitors. They had to sue the government to even be able to compete against Boeing/Lockheed for military contracts. Who had more friends in the government in the 2010s, SpaceX or Boeing/Lockheed? In 2014, NASA awarded two contracts to develop spacecrafts for transporting astronauts to the ISS (at the time, American astronauts flew to the ISS only on Russian Soyuz). SpaceX received $2.6B (for Dragon), Boeing received $4.2B (for Starliner). Since that time, SpaceX has made 11 operational flights with astronauts to the ISS, while Boeing has made 0 (they're still working on it). It's not friends in the government, it's delivering services faster and for a lower price.

Previous discussion on this a month ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45620394

And the longer text from the original source: https://www.thegamebusiness.com/p/when-we-launched-resident-...

I think it refers to this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1M6PMQrehmeuRU_KDd_PTKsTtVNN...

It doesn't seem very convincing in its conclusions, but has some interesting information nonetheless. I searched for some info on this doc, and it seems that its author really did hire some private investigators, I even found gofundme for it and places where the author asked for help in the early stages of their investigation. It seems they were trying to find the website owner because he hadn’t responded to requests to delete some personal things archived by a prolific stalker.

I checked a random Kenyan address on starlink.com, and it would be around 386 USD for the dish there (with service for 50 USD/mo), so not cheap. In Poland I see that they're giving the dish for free with some 1-year contract (58 USD/mo). Maybe it'll become cheaper, they're making millions of them. And you could share it with neighbors - if you can get 300 Mb/s, you could connect like 5 families if the alternative is nothing.

I found a nice website with prices by country: https://www.starlink-prices.com/personal/residential/usd/low

But it may be outdated, because it shows $90/mo price in Poland, while it's much cheaper as I said, even with the free dish.

And some recent articles about Starlink prices in Africa:

https://techlabari.com/average-starlink-prices-across-all-af...

https://www.visualcapitalist.com/visualized-starlink-vs-lead...

Anyway, Starlink is mostly for places where you have no ISPs or cell service (or they are very bad), so not for 95% of Europe, and probably not for most of India, especially in the future.

The source in your [0] link says China fossil fuel subsidies were $2235B in that year. Your [1] link says "Renewable Energy Still Dominates Energy Subsidies in FY 2022" and "traditional fuels (coal, natural gas, oil and nuclear) received just 15 percent of all subsidies between FY 2016 and FY 2022", so the two numbers you've given are clearly counting very different things.

I think India is a bad example. It's very densely populated, with high density in most of the country, and as such it's not a good target market for Starlink.

See for yourself: https://luminocity3d.org/WorldPopDen

India has 1.4B people on 3 million km^2, Africa has 1.4B people on 30 million km^2 (out of which 9 million is Sahara).

Starlink's use case is low population density areas, and Africa has plenty of those. Very different case from India.

You said:

> The only difference between this statement and "all politicians do this" is the politicians who are not confronted about bad behavior.

That means that in your view, phito's comment was essentially saying that "all politicians do this" (your words), unless they're not confronted. My point was that it's incorrect, because of "they will almost always say" in phito's comment - so the correct reading of that comment would be that almost all politicians do this when confronted, not all.

There's also this big list of various professional opinions on the matter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Expert_opinions_in_th...

Power of pardon could be limited in many ways, for example commuting a death sentence to a prison sentence could be allowed. Or commuting a long prison sentence to a shorter sentence, with some lower limit. It's not binary.

"any video of politicians being confronted (...), they will almost always (...)"

So not "all" who are confronted, but "almost" all. Not a very big difference, but that's still not "all".
