Right, so it might occasionally be useful as a search tool for divergent ideas of different approaches to a problem, and your suggestion to sandbox it in a separate area works for that.

>>Sure, there's some fringe backlash when some company supports a program that is targeted at underrepresented groups, but I think that's the way to create lasting change.

It's not "fringe backlash". It's a recognition that success in the job market isn't determined by skill despite what's claimed but by quota. The companies partaking in these diversity and inclusion ventures however don't want to admit the full depths of their assessment regarding the "underrepresented" but still try to keep the PR benefits that come with it.

Yes. Because any sensible business would take the least risk needed to produce highest payoff. Showing proof of success at a major competitor is a great indicator of that and that also works wonders for employees in the form of massive pay raises.

Android's worldwide marketshare is like 75%, though. These marketshare numbers haven't changed all that much for many years; and, to the extent to which they have, the more important battles were destroying all the non-duopoly competition. Even then, claiming that one's pet issue is clearly justified by marketshare is kind of nonsensical considering how complex these device ecosystems are... like, if I were to guess why iOS has better marketshare in the United States I would point to stuff like iTunes and Apple Stores, which might easily be so good in comparison to Play Music and [crickets] that even if they did everything else 100% wrong it might cause people to buy Apple over Samsung (which of course is the real competitor at this level, not Android really).
I hate to be the one that says this but I think it‘s true:

"So you are an SWE and you take a break from work to go to Hackernews to complain that Github's Copilot, which is an AI-based solution meant to help SWEs, is utter shit and completely unusuable.

And then you go back to writing AI-based solutions for some other profession. Which is totally not shit or anything.“

Can anybody put this more elegantly?

Well, when the youth wing of Lumumbians started practicing a nutritionary democracy (that is, murdered and had a nurse from the West for dinner) this was exactly the justification used by the socialists.

Python: 1.03-.42 produces 0.6100000000000001, by default.

I hope you realise that many of commenters here are not even software engineers. HN covers more topics than just 'another arrogant software dev lectures someone on topic X'
Not the parent, but people really like to get riled up on the same topics, over and over again, which quickly monopolizes and derails all conversion. Facebook bad, UIs suck, etc. We can now add to the list, "AI will never reduce demand for software engineering".
I agree, the thought of hoards of developers sending their code to Microsoft (or AWS via CodeGuru) to train their proprietary semantic model is disturbing, because of the potential
network effects. They suck right now and have a lot of problems, and I hope they either stay that way, or that something open like this supersedes them.

> So we have found evidence of the feathers of dinosaurs, but not the fur of something from 40k years ago? that seems rather unlikely

Does it? Dinosaurs existed for hundreds of millions years, that's a lot of time for things to be preserved. Neanderthals for hundreds of thousands of years, that's not nearly as much.

Sure, fur/feathers is less likely to be preserved for 65 million years (+ however far into the mesozioic you go) than 40 thousand years (+ however far back into the history of neanderthals you go), but by how many orders of magnitude? Is it enough to make up for the many orders of magnitude difference in the number of times it could be preserved?
That would be harder. I shuffled data into a new form; they wrote papers. All I had to understand was what they wanted, and how to get there; they had to understand enough of the world to argue that a given natural experiment showed drug X was an effective treatment for condition Y.
accuRx | Software Engineers and Engineering Managers | Onsite, London, UK | https://www.accurx.com/careers

At accuRx, we're building a world-famous healthcare communication platform. Our mission is simple - to change lives by bringing patients and their healthcare teams together. Our technology is revolutionising how technology is adopted and how care is delivered in healthcare.

Established in 2016 and now with £9m in Series A funding, accuRx is one of the UK's fastest-growing tech startups. In two years, we grew from only a few GP practices using us to over 50% of practices in England. Today, over 98% of GP practices rely on us and over the past few months we have worked really hard on driving adoption within Hospitals, our product is now used in over 50% of trusts and this number is growing day by day. Our vision is that anyone involved in a patient's care can communicate with each other.

Unlike many healthtech companies, we are a software provider, not a healthcare provider. We allow existing health and care systems (starting with the NHS in the UK) to deliver technology-enabled care, free from any AI/Blockchain-hype.

I know there are related current events that might make this a touchy subject, but I’m pretty disappointed that HNers would flag a speech by Frederick Douglass. This adds context that 99% of the reactionary CRT debates lack, and I would hope we have the self control to approach this respectfully.
Heh, this is reminiscent of the infamous HN dropbox comment.

Free chlorine (technically assorted chlorine oxides like hypochlorite) attacks RO membranes, so now you have to deactivate your reactive species first. Usually UV lamps, you use sun, but now you need UV-clear tubing, not easy.

Reverse flow flushing can be done with the components you mention, that's another $20/50 plus sourcing logistics.

Yes, the theoretical expense in quality pumps is quality. There are tighter tolerances, beefier components, better polymers, and more QA. It all adds up.

It's still all fairly cheap by Western standards, but it's a tall ask for a lot of places that barely have potable water.

You can't fully prove it, but there are usually context clues.

There are and will always be posts that are totally ambiguous. "Sincerity" false negatives are probably common. But if you have enough experience in a certain community, you start to be able to pick up on subtle things. False positives are probably not that high.

It's a bit difficult to explain, but it's basically like distinguishing actually crazy people from people faking it. (And that's often exactly what you're doing on anonymous sites, too.) If you have a large enough set of writing samples of two ostensibly schizophrenic people, where one is faking it and one is real, there are certain patterns that only the most brilliant and dedicated and seasoned of trolls can authentically mimic. Most trolls tend to not be that masterful.

I just stopped reading email newsletter in general. Currently sitting at 307 emails unread in the newsletters folder.

I have a tab folder that I launch every morning when I drink my coffee and prep for the day. It contains HN, local news, tech news, several subreddits, and YC related stuff. I wish there was a digestible way to gather my top 20 so that I don't manually go through all that information while drinking my coffee in the morning.
The main difference here is that "influencers" needs influence in order to create content, because in order to get brand and travel deals so they can afford to show of luxury goods they first need a following.

Gaming content can however be created by anyone, just start recording when you play games and you now create content. Then if enough people watch your content you now make enough money to live doing this, since it costs you nothing but time to do you can reach that point with a very modest amount of income. And since it is so easy to start doing it the only thing differentiating a top gaming channel from a bottom one is the quality of its content.

I’m not familiar with the term “Polygenic Screening” and couldn’t find a clear description in the article.

For anyone else like me, this Wikipedia article describes what a polygenic score is: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygenic_score
The big boost, that I think parent is alluding to, is for rusty (not Rust!) languages in the toolbox, where you may not have the standard library and syntax loaded into your working memory.

As a nudge, it's a great idea. As a substitute for vigilance, it's a terrible idea.

I suspect that's why they named it Copilot instead of Autopilot, but it's unfortunately more likely to be used as the latter, humans being humans.
The linked article doesn't even attempt to explain how such a plan would work, or could feasibly work. But it does link to at least one more thorough source[1] that tries to rationalize the economics. I'm still not sure I understand how such a plan overcomes the obvious objections, but that source is a bit better.

Vehicles got heavier, so pillars got thicker (to protect occupants when you inevitably flip your heavier vehicle on its roof), leading to blind spots that were mitigated with collision warning radar (amber light on mirrors when someone is in your blind spot).

Backup cams were mandated because people kept running their kids over backing out of the driveway.
These are great examples. I wrote about how this will propagate all sorts of bugs.

But my argument was that it's good enough developers may get complacent and not review the auto complete closely enough. But maybe I'm wrong! Maybe it's not that good yet.
> The real question is why — why does every civilization have similar myths? Why does every culture have legends of monstrous humanoids, and why are they are always depicted as fearsome and dangerous?

I assume that most myths of orcs, elves, dwarves, vampires, etc. were based on ugly-looking Homo sapiens as opposed to other hominid species. Humans have also had a strong incentive to (literally) dehumanize other tribes of humans.

Um What's a 'Tech Startup'?
Hello,
There's no easy way to say this, but we don't know anything about tech and we're not very clever.

So it came as some suprise when we recently found ourselves in the possession of a so-called 'tech startup.'

And now we're wondering if someone perhaps in their spare time would be so kind as to explain what that is and what to do about it?

At this point, I'd like to add that we don't understand long words and such, but maybe we're clear on that already.

Are "marketers" and "authors" different things? While there can sometimes be some overlap, I think they are.

(There are some people who do both, sure. Always have been authors with day jobs in advertising. But they are doing different things at different times).
>I asked you for examples. It was entirely in good faith for me to point out that your first example was not actually an example.

well, I used the phrase historically speaking which normally when I see it used in the manner in which I used it the meaning is "this has happened in the past therefore we should be wary of it happening in the future" but you seemed to take it to mean "this has happened in the past but the past is a foreign country and thus we don't need to worry about it happening again." So yes, if you assume that similar things to things that have happened in the past cannot happen today then my example wouldn't be one. But otherwise you didn't really point out my first example wasn't one.

>So anonymous payment for a web presence, one that she didn't have, wouldn't have helped here.

I guess we must think in very different ways because I was just making an example of how artists might want to be anonymous because otherwise they can have bad effects from releasing their art. I chose the most recent example I could think of, and also I chose this one because the attacks were generally from the left while I tend to think of retaliation for homosexuality as stemming from the right.

>As to your last "might be", anything might be.

ok so we're in agreement then that there might be people who are not scammers who want to be anonymous. And since you bring it up also not harassers.

>What I'm looking for is an example of where the social harm that can come through anonymity, specifically anonymous payment, is worth putting up with to provide some social good.

Ok well I don't know if I can provide that, as I don't know how to calculate the social harm and how to calculate the social good. I just know some people who would like to be anonymous for non-scamming purposes.

>I'll note that even your well-performed outrage

whatever.

on edit: obviously I believe in order to have an anonymous identity one has to be able to pay anonymously, so despite my not writing anonymous payment each time I wrote anonymous I assume the ability to pay anonymously is wrapped up in the ability to be anonymous on the internet.

Could they handle this by generating a collective attribution file that covers every (permissively licensed) repository that Copilot learned from?

Of course this would be massive, so from a practical consideration the attribution file that Copilot generates in the local repository would have to just link to the full file, but I don't think that would be an issue in and of itself.
When is the public going to realize the O&G industry is quite possibly the worst conglomerate that we have ever seen.

Producers need to be held responsible for their role in bringing this world closer to the brink of destruction.
It seems that democracy which would be a Natural form of government that supports citizenship based polity would also be congruent with the concept of a nation. The majority in a democracy would most likely come from a similar background and therefore have similar ideals politically Which meets many of the requirements of a nation.
