Of course, an AI generated app can't bring value, that would be an oxymoron! Also, no project has ever needed 1000 lines of code. You're right.

> investing energy in formulating a syntactically nice sentence

It would cost me energy to deliberately not write with proper grammar and orthography. I would never want to write sloppily to a colleague either.

I also managed to find a 1000 line .cpp file in one of the projects. The article's content doesn't match his apps quality. They don't bring any value. His clock looks completely AI generated.

Are you suggesting that when investigating members of a criminal organization, they should be notified? It seems pretty reasonable for there to be cases where making a target aware of investigation would be detrimental to proving the illegal activity they are currently engaged in but would likely discontinue if literally told “we are monitoring to you specifically now”.

There is no democracy in countries like Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, plus the EU. What you vote for is not what you get. You vote for X and get the Agenda. Vote for Y and you get the Agenda.

I see someone has downvoted my actually relevant post. Not sure why, but anyway.

I also tried out the behaviour of their example. Slowing the sync time down to 3 seconds, and then typing "Why not" and then waiting for it to sync before adding " do this?" on client A and " joke?" on client B. The result was "Why not do this? joke?" when I'd have hoped that this would have been flagged as a conflict. Similarly, starting with "Why not?" and adding both " do this" and " joke" in the different clients produced "Why not do this joke?" even though to me, that should have been a conflict - both were inserting different content between "t" and "?".

Finally, changing "do" to "say" in client A and THEN changing "do" to "read" in client B before it updated, actually resulted in a conflict in the log window and the resultant merge was "Why not rayead this joke?" Clearly this merge strategy isn't that great here, as it doesn't seem to be renumbering the version numbers based on the losing side (or I've misunderstood what they're actually doing).

You probably should ask about a particular program because there are as many answers to your question as there are programs. Even in a single school there are often several tracks. Some are very theory and math heavy, others are more practical.

The part that hasn’t changed is being in a cohort of people like yourself and living in a community centered around a school (and again this varies from school-to-school). I had a lot of fun and met many interesting people who inspired and motivated me. It’s the fastest way to jumpstart your professional network.

I had moved from a small, boring town to a city and the semi-structured life of a student living on-campus made that transition easy and provided an instant social life.

My regret is that I didn’t take advantage of all the things I could have with respect to my electives. I wish I had taken art history or intro to film or visual arts 101 or modern literature or just about any other humanities course that was available to me.

If you want somebody to tell you to skip school, you’ll probably get that advice here too. If all you are after is the piece if paper at the end you probably should skip school or do it remotely. It’s cheaper and more concentrated but you miss the most valuable part of university life.

PSA for those who aren’t aware: Chromium/Firefox-based browsers have a Network tab in the developer tools where you can dial down your bandwidth to simulate a slower 3G or 4G connection.

Combined with CPU throttling, it's a decent sanity check to see how well your site will perform on more modest setups.

These skills live in my home directory, that's why they aren't in the repos. I can upload them if you want.

Hi, anyone has a simple example/scaffold how to set up agents/skills like this? I’ve looked at the stavrobots repo and only saw an AGENTS.md. Where do these skills live then?

(I have seen obra/superpowers mentioned in the comments, but that’s already too complex and with an ui focus)

Our developers managed to run around 750MB per website open once.

They have put in ticket with ops that the server is slow and could we look at it. So we looked. Every single video on a page with long video list pre-loaded a part of it. The single reason the site didn't ran like shit for them is coz office had direct fiber to out datacenter few blocks away.

We really shouldn't allow web developers more than 128kbit of connection speed, anything more and they just make nonsense out of it.

I am not in a CS program myself, but I guest lecture for CS students at CMU about 2x/year, and I'm in a regular happy hour that includes CS professors from other high-tier CS schools.

Two points of anecdata from that experience:

- The students believe that the path to a role in big tech has evaporated. They do not see Google, Meta, Amazon, etc, recruiting on campus. Jane Street and Two Sigma are sucking up all the talent.

- The professors do not know how to adapt their capstone / project-level courses. Core CS is obviously still the same, but for courses where the goal is to build a 'complex system', no one knows what qualifies as 'complex' anymore. The professors use AI themselves and expect their students to use it, but do not have a gauge for what kinds of problems make for an appropriately difficult assignment in the modern era. The capabilities are also advancing so quickly that any answer they arrive at today could be stale in a month.

FWIW.

THis is not without servers, you still use a signaling server for TURN.

If you want true serverless you need a side channel to copy the offer/response, e.g. tell the user's to copy paste them as base64 thorugh whatsapp manually or something (https://github.com/pirate/webrtcchat).

You should @linustechtips and hope he picks it up, then you have a good chance of getting a voucher for the funeral and getting a shout out in the manufacturers next demo when they talk about their new safety features.

Hey guys I rooted my humanoid and it killed my mom when I disabled the "slow limb motion" mode. It just wacked her in the head as she walked in the kitchen and she's not moving what do I do??

Huh, that definitely explains it. I wonder how many people know that. In that case it's particularly unfortunate to downvote the OP simply for filling a field in the submission form! Sigh… another way that LLMs have made the world worse for everybody.

I wouldn't say that Epstein is a vindication of conspiracy theories, at least not the "Bigfoot" type. Epstein was already in trouble with the law for trafficking over 20 years ago. The pedophilia in the Catholic church was known decades before that. It's shameful that these stories didn't get more attention sooner, but the general veracity of them wasn't in question.

The prototypical pedophilia conspiracy theory we didn't believe at all is the Comet Ping Pong one, which was appropriate.

Get them to learn the fundamentals and understand them deeply just like they should/might have in the past.

They can do so at an accelerated rate using AI on verifiable subject matter. Use something like SRS + copilot + nano (related: https://srs.voxos.ai) to really internalize concepts.

Go deep on a project while using AI. To what extreme can they take a program before AI can't offer a working solution? Professors should explore and guide their students to this boundary.

>I'm guessing by next year or 2028 there will be services where you can order a robot to come cook and or clean for you.

Bullshit.

We have just started ramping up practical use of imitation learning from human demonstrations in humanoids. A bigger development is that one or two projects are working on training foundational vision action language models based on large video datasets.

I think before the end of summer general purpose physical knowledge and capabilities will start to be demonstrated by one or more humanoid AI or robotics groups.

Maybe 18 months at the absolute latest.

I'm guessing by next year or 2028 there will be services where you can order a robot to come cook and or clean for you. By 2029 it should be quite affordable to get a humanoid on a short term rental.

Do we have any standard benchmarks for humanoids to do domestic tasks?

I still test mine on GPRS, because my website should work fine in the Berlin U-Bahn. I also spent a lot of time working from hotels and busses with bad internet, so I care about that stuff.

Developers really ought to test such things better.

omg Elon Musk posts here! Are we also going to get full self driving, no interventions from NYC to LA within this timeframe, sir???

> warrants seem to be required

Applies in the text you quoted, unlike true warrantless surveillance NSA-style?

You still have to get the warrant past a judge, and convince the judge of the higher bar for keeping the warrant secret.

(Meanwhile, FIVE EYES carries on as usual.)

Regarding warrantless searches and access ... reading the text of the bill (OP link) warrants seem to be required. Simple, right?

Well, no, this is a recently inserted block of text in the bill (confirm at the link above):

    Exception
    (2. 7)(b) However, a copy of the warrant is not required to be given
    to a person under subsection (2. 6) if the judge or justice who issues
    the warrant sets aside the requirement in respect of the person, on
    being satisfied that doing so is justified in the circumstances.

That's a pretty big, subjective loophole to bypass civil liberties IMO.

In 10 years - 100MB In 20 years - 20MB

I think there'll continue to be growth in page sizes, but then maybe we'll consider efficiency, or the NYTimes shuts down and the 20MB page will be the liquidators selling the domain. Maybe we don't even use domains by then as everything is on an app.

Let's play a fun prediction: I ask HN readers what will be the page size of NYTimes.com in 10 years? Or 20 years?

Want to bet 100 MB? 1 GB? Is it unthinkable?

20 years ago, a 49 MB home page was unthinkable.

So you think that currently, until this law is implemented, CSAM is effectively unprosecutable because people can just claim they generated the image with AI?

> And how would they be able to "push stuff down people's throats" if people could walk away towards alternatives?

It's a forcing of their narrow opinion on what should be allowed onto the ecosystem at large, because all of these things are connected. You can leave to a different DE/distro, but if every DE is doing its own thing for global hotkeys or whatever, then software in the ecosystem is going to be hacky/bespoke or have an unreasonable maintenance burden.

Even if you in particular can move elsewhere the ecosystem is still held back. We only recently got consensus on apps being able to request a window position on screen, which is something x11, macos, and windows all allow you to do. CSD and tray icons are other examples of things found everywhere else that they did not want to support. Some applications are just broken without tray icon support.

This bleeds over into work for folks releasing software for Linux in general. By not supporting SSD they were pushing the burden of drawing window decorations onto every single app author, and while most frameworks will handle this, it's not like everyone is using qt or gtk. App authors will get bug reports and the burden of releasing software on Linux needlessly climbs again.

Hard to convey how unreasonable I feel their stance was on tray icons / SSD. It should be the domain of the DE from a conceptual but also practical point of view, even from just the amount of work involved. It reminds me of LSP's enabling text editors to have great support for every language. And again, Gnome was the odd man out in this, they want extra attention and work when Linux is the lowest desktop marketshare by far, and they themselves are not the overwhelming majority but they are large enough that you really do need to make sure your software runs well on Gnome even if you want to support Linux.

People think Gnome push stuff down your throat because they have the power and influence to impact the ecosystem, and they use that power and influence to die on absolutely absurd hills.

Can't have Alzheimer's if you don't have much of a brain left.

This is obviously a bot comment. Is there really no room for automoderation of new accounts on HN?
