My first thought was "this won't work without --no-preserve-root"

Taxes are very much not voluntary donations to governments. They are enforced by threat of state-sanctionned violence.

Incredible, love learning language facts like this.

LLMs do not know math, at all. Not to sound like one myself, but they are stochastic parrots, and they output stuff similar to their training data, but they have no understanding of the meaning of things beyond vector encodings. This is why chatgpt plays chess in hilarious ways also.

An LLM cannot possibly have any concept of even what a proof is, much less whether it is true or not, even if we're not talking about math. The lower training data amount and the fact that math uses tokens that are largely field-specific, as well as the fact that a single-token error is fatal to truth in math means even output that resembles training data is unlikely to be close to factual.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Your last point also highlights a real issue that affects real humans: just because someone (or something) cannot talk doesn't mean that they are not intelligent. This is a very current subject in disability spaces, as someone could be actually intelligent, but not able to express their thoughts in a manner that is effective in sharing them due to a disability (or even simply language barriers!), and be considered to be unintelligent.

In this way, you could say LLMs are "dumb" (to use the actual definition of the word, ie nonverbal) in some modes like speech, body language or visual art. Some of these modes are fixed in LLMs by using what are basically disability aids, like text to speech or text to image, but the point still stands just the same, and in fact these aids can be and are used by disabled people to achieve the exact same goals.

You're allowed to say that the 3rd party spam checker was mailinblack. If it wasn't, then I know from experience they would have reacted the same.

10c per part is incredibly high depending on how low-cost we're talking.

If your chip needs very basic processing, and you're going to sell it for less than a cent per chip, you need your core to be basically free.

Sure RISC-V is very inexpensive, but for parts like these risc is massive overkill and as a modern core, you'll be spending a lot of die area on a core that should really be an ASIC, but designing an ASIC is expensive so you can just slap a 6502 in that bad boy and call it a day.

On the other end of the scale, you'd be surprised to learn that many chips you don't ever interface with as a user contain even ARM cores. These are usually ASICs in high-end products.

I don't think it's quite the same thing. Laptops in particular often have machined (?) surfaces that feel very weird to the touch, regardless of electricity. HP in particular is a regular offender, though I haven't touched many apple computers.

I guess the wording is awkward, but as a trans person, I still resonate with it. I'm acutely aware it's not going to be "my voice", but neither is the one I have right now.

Businesses point cameras at the public for the sole purpose of surveillance. I'm not talking other businesses, I'm talking business built to sell and launder surveillance footage.

I don't know what's wrong with your tap water in the US but here we generally drink that and didn't invent "a tap, but slower".

If you're here, you enjoy zachtronics games. We talk a lot about their programming games, but also check out Eliza, the visual Novel they made. It's great.

I mean, usually when archeologists don't understand a device they just end up chucking it in the "religious device" bin. Not that would exactly be wrong here, but you know.

As someone younger who grew up in a time where you would get a cell phone during teenage years, I can't say I empathize with your view of "my device" vs "interruption device".

Although there are likely an overwhelming majority of my peers who do have an interruption device phone, I refuse my phone not be My device, and I explicitly buy phones that I know I can customize (unlock bootloaders, flash roms, or simply just know it has the interop capabilities I need to make it my own). Where this is in opposition with your statement is that I do have social media, mail and even work email on my phone, I just chose to customize it to not be interrupting to work and personal life (though obviously that line is different for everyone).

Of course I'm not saying your way is wrong at all, just sharing my experience.

You jest, but I wouldn't put it past cheap Chinese manufacturing to somehow do this at some point in the next 100 years. "How did you invent a room temperature supraconductor? -we thought it would save us $0.00001 per part"

How come YouTube is advertising to me but not giving back enough to the creator such that that creator then has to take sponsors to pay the bills? If YouTube's ad tech were good and the deals fair, the sponsors would just advertise on YouTube and the creators would get paid too. the fact this isn't happening means the process is failing, and it's certainly not my job nor my problem to fix it. Until they figure that shit out, I'm going to keep blocking both.

Even if they auth every user, what's stopping me from making my own API key and feeding it to my favorite app?

Ubo has been working hard to make sure you don't see it. YouTube keeps tweaking it's stuff so that the filters break, presumably on purpose.

Huh. I had a 360 controller and a wireless adapter for my pc. It died a few years back though.

If that's your cup of tea then elite dangerous might scratch that itch.

You seem to be conflating a stateful firewall with a NAT. Unless you really need to, you're never doing NAT on ipv6.

This is patently false. They don't host services, sure, but the current landscape has all but shaped application design into assuming at least one party will be behind a NAT, which heavily centralizes traffic because it becomes impossible to make truly decentralized apps. Take a small look at the TURN and STUN, things that would have no business existing if all nodes could have an address.

There are very valid reasons to want to send traffic to a node so called "out of the blue", and suggesting otherwise suggests you have never looked deeper than HTTP.

I mean, we very much did that with ipv5 already

I have a magic enter plugin that just runs 'll' when I input no command and press enter, I haven't typed ll in months!

Here is why this is relevant to anyone who's not a network admin, and why it is especially relevant to the HN crowd of tech-people:

If a server has no AAAA record, machines only connected to IPV6 simply cannot contact that server. This is fine in theory (just buy an ipv4 lolz) but in practices this means additional costs that will only go up, as the ipv4 space becomes more and more crowded. As a non-network admin, I care that services I'm a business costumer of are available to my servers, the biggest offender being GitHub. GitHub still does not have an ipv6 despite "looking into the issue" for several years, and this means that I am unable to use their services or indeed any software that requires access to GitHub for, say, updates, pulling artifacts, container images or whatever else from their servers.

It does sound like it's a bit presumptuous of me as a random IT person to demand an IPV6 out of them, but in the year of the Linux desktop, there's no reason for them not to have the infrastructure in place to simply flip a switch and be done with it, for basically free.

Of course, the big players own swathes of IPV4 space that they are able to rent out at a premium, so they are heavily disincentivized from ever supporting ipv6, as that means obsoleting their investment with no replacement, but it's bullshit that they are able to do this in the first place.

Thanks for the explanations!

Funnily enough we did end up saying "implement a full browser stack" :/

Wasn't there also a time where you could open a raw socket with SVG? SVG is very much from a time when we didn't know what the web was going to be or how it was going to work.

Because controlling the browser means you control the default search engine, and that is valuable. If all it takes to do that is repackage chrome then so be it.

You should try it. Go Ask chtagpt to generate a program that finds all windows in XYZ project and move them to a 'ew workspace and I guarantee it'll fail. Maybe it'll get it right if you feed it back error messages, but you can't do that in production.

Eating any one food for a long time is going to have negative consequences because unless that food is a meal replacement shake, you're going to need to get the vitals not in that food from somewhere.

The alternative, however is death by starvation, so I'd still pick the coconuts.
