Good thing I don't write code for those platforms! :P
It wouldn't actually cost that much money to feed everyone in the world. Global hunger could be wiped out today. More likely everyone will get just enough food, but luxury foods like meat (especially beef) and premium items will be uncommon. Like pre-industrial diets.
No, there are laws against distributing food without a permit because (1) there are people who give poisoned food to homeless people and (2) there are rules about food safety.
I thought the scoring on that site was by human visitors, not AI?
Also, isn't the sales pitch behind IDPs like Auth0 is that few organizations actually _want_ to self-host an IDP? How is providing yet another self-hostable IDP server going to change that?
Food banks. Church pantries. Welfare programs. Meals with family and friends. Eat way less meat. Get hardcore into meal prep.

I'm much more worried about what housing looks like in the future.
Today, around 50% of US consumer spending is by the top 10% of wealthiest households. (per Moody's)
The end state of this looks like how humanity looked before the industrial revolution: A single-digit percent of the population has the vast majority of the wealth and virtually all real estate and luxury goods. Between 90% and 95% of the population has just enough to live on, and never enough to build generational wealth or have any class mobility.
Most people who wear watches buy one watch and wear it for 5-10 years, owning more than 3 (casual, dress, cheap durable one for manual labor) is highly unusual. So people tend to be very picky about fashion/style/colors, more so than something like a shirt or shoes that get cycled out regularly. Also have to factor in different wrist sizes.
Yeah I think this is a case of an old timer not having the perspective of the younger generation
`GOOS=windows go build ./...` versus all the jank you have to do with C is just not at all comaprable
Such AIs have existed in Brood War and Dota 2 for a very long time now (pre-LLM), problem is they aren't very fun for humans to play against.
I can say specific to AI: I have been seeing friends and colleagues do really impressive things with code surpassing what's available in the market and open source in the past few months. The vast majority of them are _not_ releasing their code, for a variety of reasons:
- Their output is hyper-customized/optimized for their personal use case, constraints and quirks
- They have zero interest in being an open source contributor and maintainer. Usually because it's a lot of additional work, sometimes for personal safety reasons (harassment targets etc.) In a workplace it can also mean dealing with an extremely tedious legal process with months of uncertainty.
- They figure anyone who wants something similar can just make it themselves instead of using theirs. If I spent between fifteen minutes and two days to make some software, in 3-6 months someone with fewer skills will probably make it in 5 minutes to a few hours using a more powerful model.
- They may not have full rights to redistribute their source code.
Basically most people - individuals and corporations alike - aren't actually interested in donating to open source and in many cases have anti-incentives to do so.
Maybe the syntax is, but setting up the compiler and build system and linkers is very much not, especially for cross-compilation.
One of Go's major selling points is cross-compilation to other OSes and architectures is incredibly simple and fast, and _the same short build command works across every OS._
I maintain a CGO app that targets Windows macOS and multiple Linuxes and oh boy the build system is probably more complex than the app itself at this point.
It's fine if you're only targeting one OS with maybe a small handful of architectures. Doing anything cross platform is terrible.
In my experience it's been much simpler to rewrite programs from Python to <insert lower level language of choice here>
This is not a product for the masses, it's a niche manufacturing device that can cause severe health issues if not installed safely (exhaust ventilation, spill pad, etc.) and must be used with personal protective equipment.
It's actually carcinogenic. Also, exposure can cause an allergy to resin (which makes you allergic to all sorts of everyday objects), and a single drop in your eye can cause permanent blindness.
It doesn't help that the moon and sun have roughly the same apparent size in the sky
The Eames Lounge Chair is a terrible example; you can buy near-exact clones for about 1/7th the price of a real one. There's one in the room with me right now. It's fantastic, and will probably last me decades.
Those had to switch over to endpoint agents installed on work devices directly due to TLS 1.3 preventing MITM for domains which you do not control.
> Memory fab capacity will go up
The fabs are terrified to overscale in case the market collapses before the builds are complete.
> AI datacenter provisioning will go down
Depends on political opposition at both local and national levels. Hard to predict the future, which feeds into the previous point.
Probably not. The ROI for local AI is pretty terrible at best it's like 20 years to see a cost advantage. Most enterprises are going to be fine using hosted models. The two main reasons to use local AI are 1. education and 2. if you cannot use hosted AI for your use case (safety guardrails, payment restrictions, etc.)
Have you been in nature? It's cold and full of bugs and disease.
> The daily production of all diesel and jet fuel per capita has been declining month on month since 2008.
Isn't that explained by improvements in efficiency? i.e. it takes significantly less fuel to move the same mass than it did in 2008?
> Well since AI-generated content has no copyright
This is a common misconception.
1. The question of AI copyright is not fully settled, both in the US and other countries.
2. The current state of AI in the US is that AI generated works seem to be copyrightable if humans were involved in the creative process to a certain, currently fuzzy amount. However, this is not a fully settled legal question and could change in the coming years as case law establishes standards.
I've done this for practical use cases, like running a container inside another container that didn't have root privileges. It works fine for that use case. I'm not worried about restricting access of the process because it's already within a larger sandbox, I'm usually just trying to execute the command within the child container's filesystem (e.g. some vendor/partner software they ship as a container image).
I don't know why you're so shocked by this? This is all very basic use of the OCI spec.
They mostly work by just implementing the functionality in userspace instead of using syscalls. No daemon needed.
