I don't think this particular problem is related to the language model. "[item] without [attribute]" is trivial to understand even without a sophisticated language model.

The bad results are because they're not positively indexing the absense of the feature by deeply analyzing the images or products beyond the descriptions. "Shirt with stripes" yields almost exclusively striped shirts. Exclude those results from all "shirts" and there are still a lot of striped shirts that the search algorithm doesn't know enough to exclude.

>Deep-water wells are all but impossible to stop.

While I realize you're referring to a functioning deep-water well, working as designed, I can't help but remember the complete mess from Deepwater Horizon. If it's difficult to stop a correctly functioning deep-water well, I have even more respect for that mess of a situation (and a bit more disdain for the practice in general):

Goddammit. I've been buying the plastic bags of Tide Pods because I just assumed it was less waste than getting a plastic tub every time. Definitely less space taken up in my recycle bin. Blergh.

It's not like it's 1953 and the world is just discovering the wonders of plastic. We should be doing better. I don't understand why it's even legal to produce disposable plastic containers today that are not 100%, easily recyclable - without some sort of express permit for exceptional needs.
I'm a native New Yorker with all the chauvinism that comes with it, but I didn't find Seattle that bad! The weather is no worse than New York's brutal humidity in the summer. The food isn't that bad. Sure the Asian food is thoroughly mediocre compared to New York's, but that's mostly cause New York has great Asian food. The seafood is wonderful too. Service wasn't that bad either—I suspect that's very subjective. Sure, Seattle does shut down at night but how many cities realistically have an all night culture? Even New York's "city that never sleeps" is super exaggerated. There's only a handful of places that stay open past 2-3 am (Gammeeok, Veselka, Coppelia, Great NY Noodletown, Wonjo if you want a few). The homeless does seem to be a problem, albeit I'd say the homeless in Seattle are a little less grungy (heh) then New York's.
I used to work in the industry. In the near term after a price drop, companies will still have projects they need to work on, and they have cash buffers on hand so they don't have to axe their whole staff after a bump in the road.

However, those cash reserves will quickly burn though. And the worst part is a lot of Houston's economy is buttressed by oilfield services companies, which make all their money off drilling new fracking wells.

Right now, it makes 0 sense to drill new fracking wells (-40 sense, to be more accurate), and they have big loans on billions of dollars worth of equipment.

It's gonna hurt soon, and it's going to hurt very bad.

Love it — a step towards letting people do algebra instead of arithmetic (going up one level of abstraction, basically).

We've implemented almost precisely this in Causal (https://causal.app) — models come with the 'time' dimension as a first-class citizen [1], letting you write a single formula like

Revenue[t] = Revenue[t-1] * (1 + Growth Rate)

to calculate the Revenue at all points in time. And you can do vectorised operations along the time dimension by writing formulas like this:

Profit = Revenue - Costs

where Revenue and Costs, and therefore Profit, vary over time.

---

[1]: You can specify the time dimension yourself, e.g. "Monthly, Jan 2018 – Jan 2023" or "Yearly, 2020 – 2030"

Not surprising. Also, "shirt -stripe" might product better results.
Actually, deep water wells are usually quite easy to shut in by design. They frequently need to be shut in due to hurricanes or infrastructure maintenance. You don't drill a $100 million deepwater well without all the bells and whistles.

Very cheap wells with low production (onshore, say ~10 barrel per day) are the ones that tend to be difficult to shut in, as they're not designed for easy temporary shut-ins.

That having been said, most of the "must produce" issues are contractual. There are plenty of contracts with production quotas/etc. Similarly, pipelines need a minimum volume to keep flowing, and once they're stopped, they can be difficult to start again (inspections/etc, as well as physically starting things flowing).
On a meta note, I am a bit tired of HN submissions being used more as "Writing Prompts" rather than as links to substantive material.

This thread is an excellent example. The author of the linked page didn't have the decency to actually make a substantive point, instead sharing three screenshots and posting the link here, chumming the HN waters with the kind of stuff that brings in the sharks from far and wide.

The expression "video game" came to be understood as much more than "games played through a video system". Even titles like Skyrim, RDR2 and Uncharted thrive much more on the role playing fantasy or on the narrative than on beating a system. These aren't just dressings anymore, like the medieval motifs on Chess, they are the reason we play those games. So yeah, the word "game" expanded its meaning, this kind of thing happens with language.

There was an article (and accompanying thread) a few years ago that I sent to everyone who didn't understand why blockchain was a hype bubble[1]. It may be informative for you, too.

At this point, the word blockchain itself is very stigmatized. It doesn't help that a lot of the pro-blockchain social media world (reddit, Twitter, and Instagram) is populated by nutjobs and scammers.

Side note: I recommend you think of downvotes as "this isn't the most informative comment and should be lower" rather than "I hate you as a person". It's almost always the former rather than the latter. The latter is usually flagged instead of downvoted.

Can we talk about how offensive reddit's errormessage is?

The very nature of the USPS, that requires massive government support just as mail usage fallen by 50% in the last 15 years, that few people use it for material purposes, that it continues to have massive unfunded pension liabilities - is ideological.

That is should exist, or be 'owned by the government' is ideological.

You haven't provided any evidence for your cynical argument: Using FedEx and UPS examples abnegates your argument because although they do receive subsidies here and there, it's nowhere near the magnitude of USPS. If the USPS were to need only that level of assistance, few would be concerned.

Regular mail is an antiquated service that has considerably less value in the 2000's - it's a dying business and should naturally shrink to a tiny fraction of its previous use. Almost every bit of paper in the mail today is a waste, there's hardly a need for it.

The Royal Mail [1] has been privatized and it's doing mostly fine. Not perfect, but arguably better than before.

The fact it works well enough, informs us that those who believe mail must be public, archaic and highly subsidized are the ideologues.

Personally, I don't care, but I also do not see gigantic public entities being able to adapt to major changes in market conditions.

What America needs more than a debate over public or private is considerably better regulation in banking, finance, consumer goods etc..

While we talk about JetBrains, I think they really should push some priority on their remote development support. Take the VS Code Remote SSH extension as a good example of how it could work, which is extremely seamlessly, and it just works. E.g. even the embedded terminal provides a shell on the remote host, and if you e.g. open a file in there via `code somefile.txt`, it will open in your VS Code.

It's basically this feature request: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-226455

Maybe they just need a few more votes on it. Or some more popularity.

Or is it just me and most people don't really need this? I'm still not really sure about the optimal remote work setup. Other people might just use Mosh + Tmux + Vim... I heard that Google has some very nice internal web IDE. If there would be a web IDE as powerful as PyCharm and the other JetBrain IDEs, that would also be a nice option.

Disclaimer: I worked on Dropbox security. Not in appsec. I won't comment on the article, or the accuracy of the article, or anything that wasn't public before the article. I'm mostly just going to talk about what is broadly true for all or most companies.

I think it is worth noting that:

a) Pentesting 3rd party vendors is uncommon. This is something that the majority of companies rely on a SOC2 for.

b) Pentesting is not what the article is talking about, it's talking about bug bounties/ Vulnerability Reporting Programs. It is equally, if not more, uncommon for a company to bring a vendor into its VRP.

And yes, companies care greatly about traffic being routed through China.

As others have pointed out, most search engines don't support natural language search in general, let alone natural language negation in particular.

There are several reasons for this, including the following:

1) Natural language understanding for search has gotten a lot better, but it is still not as robust as keyword matching. The upside of delighting some users with natural language understanding doesn't yet justify the downside of making the experience worse for everyone else.

2) Most users today don't use natural language search queries. That is surely a chicken-and-egg problem: perhaps users would love to use natural language search if it worked as well or better than keyword search. But that's where we are today. So, until there's a breakthrough, most search engine developers see more incremental gain from optimizing some form of keyword search than from trying to support natural language search.

3) Even if the search engine understands the search query perfectly, it still has to match that interpretation against the documentation representation. In general, it's a lot easier to understand a query like "shirt with stripes" than to reliably know which of the shirts in the catalog do or don't have stripes. No one has perfectly clean, complete, or consistent data. We need not just query understanding, but item understanding too.

4) Negation is especially hard. A search index tends to focus on including accurate content rather than exhaustive content. That makes it impossible to distinguish negation from not knowing. It's the classic problem of absence of evidence is not being evidence of absence. This is also a problem for keyword and boolean search -- negating a word generally won't negate synonyms or other variations of that word.

5) The people maintaining search indexes and searchers co-evolve to address -- or at least work around -- many of these issues. For example, most shoppers don't search for a "dress without sleeves"; they search for a "sleeveless dress". Everyone is motivated to drive towards a shared vocabulary, and that at least addresses the common cases.

None of this is to say that we shouldn't be striving to improve the way people and search engines communicate. But I'm not convinced that an example like this one sheds much light on the problem.

This isn't true for all contracts. For example, gold contracts are/can be settled for cash. I remember during the Great Recession talks about gold conspiracies and that gold futures contracts can be forced settled in cash instead of physical delivery. I'm not sure if that's true or if that's part of the futures contract, though.

Disagreement on #2 and #3:

#2: Suburbs/exurbs are completely unsustainable. I'd predict that after this is over, local food sources will figure prominently on people's minds. We might see a return to smaller satellite cities if zoning changes to a saner mixed zoning approach. (You don't want big box stores. You do want smaller stores embedded in the local community. I'm not sure there's the political will to go there, because small stores can't afford making lots of campaign donations)

#3 depends highly on how long we'll be distancing. At some point, habits will be formed, and cities will be less appealing. Combine that with likely increased WFH, and way too high rent in cities, and migration might be tempting. I'd hope the satellite cities are smart enough to densify accordingly (because urban sprawl is unsustainable, but again, many interests aligned against that).

Independent point #4 - the importance of communities you're actually part of is currently driven home. I think the desire to be close to family/friends/social groups might increase. (There's the counter argument of our new habits of video socializing, but it's fundamentally less appealing than knowing people who have your back are living close to you)

A lot of these patterns hinges ultimately on how willing companies will be to continue WFH. There's also the interesting question what happens with lots of useless office space if we do move to large-scale WFH on a persistent basis.

In general, I'd expect lots of higher-order effects ricocheting through society for a long time to come :)

5G isn't just millimeter wave tech that's super fast but blocked by basically everything.

On the frequencies that 4G uses, 5G is a moderate upgrade. Somewhat better speed, notably better latency.

5G will also add more wifi-adjacent frequencies, only slightly higher than existing networks use, which sounds like a perfectly good idea to me in dense areas.

Mass. Governor Charlie Baker coordinated with BJ's Wholesale to get a shipment of 2M N95 masks...they were all "sized" (stolen) by the Feds. The governor then coordinated with Patriots owner Robert Kraft to use the patriots private jet to go get 1M masks. Thank goodness to the Kraft family and their support in this situation. There has been 0 transparency or audit trail with where these masks are going that the Feds are seizing. If I were Charlie Baker I would call up the National Guard and tell them to retrieve the masks that were sized by any means necessary. This is an absolute disgrace, and blatant theft by the Feds.
