0c3ca83··on Evergreen: A Provably Safe Systems Language
It's so strange how much effort goes into producing a language that people don't even intend to write.
0c3ca83··on Google will turn off search for schools that reject AI
This isn't coming from Feynman. There's decades of research into how education works.
0c3ca83··on US voters roundly reject data centers in ballot measures
Also, if you want to leave a livable planet for your kids...
0c3ca83··on The lost malloc()
And every memory access potentially enters the kernel via a page fault.
0c3ca83··on AI is forcing us to pay off 40 years of technical debt
"pay off technical debt", haha

What do you think the chance of nonzero budget and time being allocated for this is, given that almost no company has seen real consequences to the business?

0c3ca83··on The lost malloc()
There's no syscall on every allocation. With many allocators, the common case is popping a node off a linked list.
0c3ca83··on The AI Boom May Be Sowing Seeds of Another Financial Crisis
Sounds like a great future where everyone prospers.

Correction noted. I also get my trustworthy news from naked fight club actors on Twitter
0c3ca83··on OpenAI seems to be silently re-enabling model training on Codex chats
No, that's why the trial was invented.

Learning can certainly be done using computers. But also not as effectively as stepping away from the answer machine to puzzle it out yourself.
0c3ca83··on The AI Boom May Be Sowing Seeds of Another Financial Crisis
Yes, why do you think there's a massive investment into police tech today? The bets on what the future will look like are getting placed.

Well, either it's going to fail or the trillions going into finding breakthroughs are going to find breakthroughs. How much gasoline do you want to give arsonists, even if at the moment they're only pouring it onto concrete?

I would like to take away the gasoline before they figure out that wood burns better.

AI is going to be a driving force behind it if it begins to work. What do you think the results of most humans suddenly becoming economically irrelevant will be?

Keep in mind that today, if essential workers go on strike, those in power have to listen. What happens if people on UBI refuse to... something? Especially in a world of increasingly automated policing and surveillance?

I'm not sure that avoiding malpractice is micromanaging. I'm also pro doctors washing their hands.

It could be worse. There's a chance they succeed.
0c3ca83··on Google will turn off search for schools that reject AI
Yes. If you're optimizing for fast answers over learning, it's a good tool.

Are you volunteering your kids for the test group, accepting that if the experiment fails, you can't undo it?
0c3ca83··on Google will turn off search for schools that reject AI
Yes, doing things by hand is another thing to prioritize.

A good deal of research shows that most learning happens when you recognize and back off from an incorrect solution on your own, without outside guidance. So, the key to a good learning environment is setting up scenarios where the backround information is present, and answers aren't out of reach, but there's a bit of struggle to find them.

This is also how you learn to learn, and develop grit. Grit is one of the best predictors of success.

Technology that gives answers or guides heavily is harmful to the learning process.

For responsibile learning, focus on pencil, paper, and books.
0c3ca83··on Anthropic's IPO Filing Warns It May Be 'Imminently' Close to RSI
Yeah, repetitive strain injury is a common problem in the industry.
0c3ca83··on Just a little AI resistance, as a treat
The response is also probably AI.
0c3ca83··on Moving our warehouse off DuckDB
Am I missing something here, or is the only technical detail in the post "a trillion rows is a lot of data, maybe trying trinio will work this time"?

It feels like a lot of churn and not a lot of measurements or engineering.

0c3ca83··on Ask HN: Which TV do you recommend for privacy?
The manufacturer will look at sales metrics and say "this is what consumers want more of".
0c3ca83··on Ask HN: Which TV do you recommend for privacy?
They do ddos people and crawl for AI. Look at bright data and other "ethically sourced" residential proxy providers.
0c3ca83··on Ask HN: Which TV do you recommend for privacy?
It comes with a botnet. You're not going to make it worse.

I'd still recommend not building one in the first place.

0c3ca83··on Ask HN: Which TV do you recommend for privacy?
A computer monitor and small computer.
0c3ca83··on Postgres 19 is late because so many more bugs are being found now
> just yet.

How long, in your estimates, do you think you have before your career ends?

0c3ca83··on U.S. workers took home their smallest share of capital since at least 1947
If AI works out, possibly. The entities involved in commerce can be automated, with companies autonomously serving the needs of other companies.

I know some people who are investing based on the expectation of this being the future.

The results of the triage are the problem. Many of the triage results are invalid.
