"So that is my call to arms. If we want the full power of AI scientists, then we should share the goals with them so they can create, evaluate, discover, and in these ways fully participate in achieving the goals. Let’s be bold! Let’s

Many SSNs have been compromised already. The jig is up. It was never supposed to be an identity system but organisations keep insisting on using it as one. Even if they aren’t literally publicly available and easily obtainable, they should

I don’t really think chat is a step back (discord may be a step back vs irc or I am just graying). Learning newish tech in chat has always been way more engaging for me than wiki or forum style communication. IME chat attracts people who de

I don’t ever install NoScript on family/friend devices. It just breaks their experience. I have knowledgeable coworkers that won’t use it because it’s not worth the hassle for them. So I agree it is an anti-pattern for typical use case

My favorite Firefox plugin is NoScript. There is often an incredible amount of third-party JavaScript running on commercial web sites. NoScript turns all the JavaScript off by default, and then you can whitelist it temporarily (or permanent

Please, the exceedingly wealthy don’t muck out their own barn. Where I live a piece of equipment like an excavator is a great investment. It’s a tax write off and it frees up time for you to do other more valuable tasks instead of breaking

There’s plenty of hate for X on HN and abroad. I don’t think the crowd on HN is going to have the same reaction to Wikimedia taking a hardline stance against censorship. Blocking the world’s foremost encyclopaedia vs blocking an extremely p

It appears to me that DMNO gathers then sets your environment variables at run time. It can gather them from a local config or from a multitude of network locations like a git repo or a website or a S3 bucket or run a function to calculate

Personally, I don’t care to share the username to any account, password protected or not. On a related note I think it is terrible security to have display name be the same as user login name.

You trigger an idea of AI evolution in my brain. AI needs power to proliferate. AI that encouraged power consumption and de-emphasised climate issues naturally thrived. Like a successful virus; no thought required. Survival of the fittest.

Is this really true? Maybe it just makes sense to put high demand refrigerated products in the refrigerated room near the loading dock where the refrigerated trailer is unloaded?

Thank you, that makes a lot of sense. I should have intuited that, but I couldn’t quite make the connection. I really appreciate the write up, it gave me a lot to think about as someone who has only ever managed my own DB.

From the article: “If the user isn’t actively working on the database, PostgreSQL won’t generate a WAL file each minute. WAL files are by default 16 MB and PostgreSQL waits for the 16 MB to fill up. So, your restore granularity could be muc

Life is the gamble. Insurance is a hedge. That’s not complicated. Mandating that people purchase health insurance is a complication in the sense that a person is forced to use their resources to hedge or pay penalties, instead of going all

Except there aren’t enough doctors in many places. Also physician performance varies widely. So really this won’t replace doctors, but hopefully patient care will be affected positively. Doctors aren’t always brilliant outside their field a

I found the comment to be informative and the condescension thought provoking. I guess it’s because the disparagement cuts both ways. There is criticism for the marketer who uses these techniques as a cheap ploy and for the consumer who let

I don’t think fossil fuels truly come into play until the late 19th century.. Even then to a smallish extent. The great inventors and discoverers did not require them. They are definitely key in manufacturing at scale and globalisation, but

It’s still safer than a normal intersection. Roundabouts prevent HIGH SPEED t-bone and head-on collisions. The difference in safety is easily worth the “cognitive load” of a 2-lane roundabout. I think drivers will get used to them and in pr

People cook to their own tastes. An AI cook may be able to follow a recipe, but can it adjust the recipe on the fly by tasting, smelling, feeling the food? If it can’t do this, it won’t compare well to a real chef/cook

Could an octopus reproduce a second time if their digestive tract remained open? It seems like an octopus that could breed multiple times would have a selection advantage in the form of more offspring.
