> "Knowing the referents" is not at all clearly defined. It's totally possible that, under the constraint of optimizing for next-word prediction, the model could develop an understanding of what the referents are.

Well, in this case, it would have been good to understand that "V. Petkov" is a person unrelated to the project being written, and that "2015" is a year and not the one we're currently in. Sometimes the referent will be a method defined in an external library, which perhaps has a signature, and constraints about inputs, or properties which apply to return values.

> You can't underestimate the level of complex behavior emerging from a big enough system under optimization. After all, all the crazy stuff we do - coding, art, etc. is produced by a system under evolutionary optimization pressure to make more of itself.

I think this can verge into a kind of magical thinking. Yes, humans also look like neural nets, and we might even be optimizing for something. But we learn to program (and we do our best job programming) by having a goal for program behavior, and we use interactive access to try to run something, get an error, set a break point, try again, etc. I challenge anyone to try to learn to "code" by never being given any specific tasks, never interacting with docs about the language, an interpreter, a compiler, etc, but merely to try to fill in the blank in paper code snippets. You might learn to fill in some blanks. I highly doubt you would learn to code.

This is totally a case where the textual representation of programs is easier to get and train against, and that tail is being allowed to wag the dog to frame both the problem and the product.

None of this is to say that high-bandwidth DNN approaches don't have a place here -- but I think we should be looking at language-specific models where the DNN receives information about context (including some partial description of behavior) and outputs of the DNN are something like the weights in a PCFG that is used in the program search.
Teaching in schools that "the system is rigged," drumming home the constant message in media that oppression is rampant, is a recipe for violence... as intended. How else does one get a Marxist revolution?

That so many fall for it and fail to learn from past atrocities like the holodomor, or the purges of the Cultural Revolution is the real tragedy.
Yes: not all code on GitHub is licensed in a way that lets you use it at all. People focus on GPL as if that were the tough case; but, in addition to code (like mine) under AGPL (which you need to not use in a product that exposes similar functionality to end users) there is code that is merely published under "shared source" licenses (so you can look, but not touch) and even literally code that is stolen and leaked from the internals of companies--including Microsoft!... this code often gets taken down later, but it isn't always noticed and either way: it is now part of Copilot :/--that, if you use this mechanism, could end up in your codebase.
It's a really bad example. You only have to look back a few years to see the market with less participants, and look at the market efficiency of acquiring a rocket or say putting 1kg into orbit.

The only way your argument works is if we assume every new market participant is completely ignorant and completely susceptible to bad information. Like participants entering the market are doing so in bad faith and completely clueless, and like bad information didn't exist before participants entered. It's a really stupid argument to make.

So ya, it is disappointing to see happen.
I wasn’t a fan of Red Hat or the acquisition but it seems like they are pretty much turning it into a (small) revenue stream to be optimized rather than something transformational.

So you're coming from the perspective that individual minimum wage is wrong, and applying that assumption everywhere. Thanks, but I absolutely disagree. I don't see a reason to discuss further when we're so far apart on our base assumptions of reality.
No way mom and pop are going to know how to do this. Even semi tech literate people will struggle.

Network equipment vendor name?
The research side of "minimum modifications required" is with not quite there yet [0]. Audio source separation for now is probably the way to go (see other child comment). Although I imagine it would encounter similar problems with "over the air" type environments.

Black box transfers require large, audibly noticeable modifications. see "Transfer attacks against YouTube’s Content ID" audio example in [0].

Most work has focused on speech recognition, so see final appendix in [1], the authors of which are currently looking at the problem in more detail (stay tuned for results).

Also, over-the-air attacks require a lot more modification than attacks against image classifiers [2].

A lot of recent work (for voice at least) has found signal processing tricks are simple and efficient ways to deal with it [3]. But these untargeted attacks always run the risk of copyright detection flagging it as a different song instead of "not copyrighted".

So, basically, more research is required to get to the Fawkes "for audio" [4].

As an aside: I would not want to be "that guy" who invented the technology to defeat audio copyright detection systems. I think copyright is a good thing and would only work on something like that to help improve a given system. This specific issue should be handled by through some form of legal proceeding.

The risky bat-virus engineering that links America to Wuhan
Don't know what it says, but I know people who've signed contracts expecting the usual behaviour. I know a contract that promised action based on change requests within x business days, oops, the new customer sent 2000 change requests in a few months, more than the total of all older customers had sent in in years. Surprise!

You may have heard the story about the Colo/ISP that signed up a large new customer (you know the name) with 95th percentile pricing for IP traffic and unlimited power to the cage? The ISP signed a contract that said 95th percentile pricing and expected the usual usage curve, the customer made sure the curve was a very different one. And used (much)_more power in the cage than the ISP had ever seen, too.
In this scenario, Dave's degree is likely worth little or nothing, so I'm skeptical that allowing him to keep it represents any kind of real advantage.
Special purpose CPUs ran faster than general purpose. However they had upgrade cycles of 3-5 years compared 1/2 to 1 year for commodity chips. The commodity chip almost always caught up in the meantime at a lower cost. My research group bought array processors, fine grained processor like MassPar and Thinking Machines, min-super computers like Convex, and this catch-up happened every time. LISP firmware on general CPUs caught up with custom hardware like Symbolics too.

Very large customer bases like Nvidia can have annual design releases and keep up.
I think it's interesting how much traction the question of whether Neanderthals had body is getting in this discussion. I haven't read into it too deeply, so I'm not confident to say which side is correct, but the fact that nearly all mammals, and every extant primate species save one have thick body hair, regardless of what climate they live in, means it wouldn't surprise me to find out that Neanderthals also did. It also wouldn't surprise me to find out they walked around with crude animal skin drapings (like Wikipedia claims) or that they had expertly tailored leather suits as described in that linked article. What surprises me is that so many people really, really want it to have been one way or the other. Here's a theory: Their range was so vast, and the time they spent on earth was so long, that some of them were bald and made clothes, and some of them were hairy from head to toe (like some modern people) and walked around naked. Probably some of them were mean and some were nice, and sometimes they traded with Homo Sapiens, and sometimes they dined on them.

For what it's worth, my dad was an anthropologist and he liked to point out that their women probably had beards.
The problem here is that this aversion to sources which have been caught making up things is mostly limited to "conservative" sources. While sources like the Daily Mail are considered to be off-limits there is no rule against using the New York Times or the Washington Post, both of whom have been caught making up things. This is what Sanger reacts to, not the mere fact that there are sources which are deemed to be unreliable.
> What they did was illegal. Why would you not blame corporations for financial crimes? They stole money

You think that what they did was illegal, but the person you initially replied to (https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=adabyron) only said he "wasn't happy about it". That's not the same as "apologizing for theft".

Good on you for being persistent.
As I wrote in a similar thread the other day, a possible solution would be to upload the video with a different audio track containing just a fsk encoded timecode plus location of the real one on a decentralized p2p network. Then a browser extension could pick the real audio track and play it in sync with the video in a transparent way.

> It’s not clear that condo units have higher long-term capex costs than single-family homes; arguably economies of scale make their capex lower

Economies of scale have to do with manufacturing identical units. Making 1000 is cheaper than making 10. But stacking units atop each other is not making identical units, so it is always cheaper to build 10 SFH than to build a single building with the same size 10 units stacked atop each other -- ignoring the extra price of land. When you go vertical, you need to set aside more space for services such as hvac and elevators. You need a stronger foundation. You need to deal with wind and earthquakes. You need to add emergency stairs in case the elvators go down. The walls have to be stronger, noise abatement needs to be added. You have systems in place to deal with vibrations. There is no attic in which to run HVAC. Air recirculation is a big concern in condos -- many don't even have windows that open, but they have enormous air filtration and pumping systems to get fresh air to all the units and maintain an air pressure difference. There are entire systems condos have to have that aren't even an issue in SFHs. And those systems require their own control systems, controlled by complex software and networks of sensors, with dedicated building staff to monitor and operate them. This is if nothing goes wrong. Thus the costs per livable square foot go up rapidly as you stack units atop each other, which is why you see condos only in places where land is very expensive. Everywhere else, it is cheaper to build a SFH. It is also why condos tend to be much smaller than SFH in terms of livable area per unit.

In terms of maintenance, all those extra systems condos need are more failure points. Structurally, you have much higher stresses, which requires additional supports and more complexity. All of that increases the damage when there is a failure and increases maintenance costs as there are more systems to maintain. Even something as simple as washing windows becomes really expensive in a condo. Electrical and water repairs that are simple and fast in a SFH can become major engineering projects in a condo. More complex systems that are harder to service and more dependencies add up to higher maintenance costs to match the higher construction costs.

Getting a database to line up with production code is especially important in python as pep 484 types become more commonplace. If you trust the type annotations but the database/orm is polluting data structures with values that don’t conform to the annotations, you’ve lost a lot of the annotation work’s leverage.
Its not just profit. Yes doctors and health care organizations need to make a profit. But the prices are also inflated so that those who do pay (either out-of-pocket or via insurance) cover the costs for those who don't (those with no insurance and no assets).
No, they do not. However, the companies in question still might try to get the children to pay up in the hopes the children are ignorant that they are not responsible for their parent’s debts.

So, for those who don't know: Your MyCloud will spam you six times a day about firmware updates if you didn't update. They replaced the vulnerable OS back in March. So people probably should know/have done this by now. It's hardly a zero-day at this point: It was fixed months ago.

He's, understandably, not very pleased with how Facebook and Twitter enabled and encouraged this form of brainwashing. Unfortunately for him, that ship has long sailed, and now he has to live on it.
A Multithreaded Flutter and Rust App Integrating Both with Bloc/Cubit and Rid
It's incredibly rare and PA is absolutely an outlier. That's why the case that is mentioned was newsworthy.

Typically when it's used it's to recover money in cases of fraud. For example, where the parent or child conspires to hide money from the state to avoid paying for care. To the best of my knowledge, PA is one of the only states that allows private entities to sue. Some states are like Ohio where it's a criminal statute, so only the state has standing to bring charges. All said, don't get legal advice on the internet, this is an armchair discussion by laypeople.

As an aside, I don't see why the children should have any specific burden to take care of their parents medical expenses now that we have Medicare and Social Security. We've decided it's better to have all of society to take care of our elderly rather than tie it to their children's ability to pay.
The problem may be that the usual metrics for weather are minimums, maximums, and averages. Those don't pick up on weather changes slowing down, except when slower changes cause extreme conditions. This is a good problem for HN's data scientists. Get hour by hour wind speed, rain, and temperature for a large number of locations. That info is available. Start looking at it in the frequency domain. You might find something.

‘Dragon Man’ may be an elusive Denisovan
I initially switched because it allowed me to simplify my configuration. This was even before Lua integration was a thing; it had better defaults, and the client/server architecture appealed to me. I also liked the idea of a re-factored, more-modular, possibly faster core application.

Now what's starting to happen is that the plugin ecosystems are diverging. Subjectively, it seems like plugin developers are significantly more productive working in languages that are not Vimscript. Accordingly, Neovim seems to be accumulating more sophisticated IDE-like plugins, and this appeals to me on a personal level.

Now that the remote plugin and Lua APIs (including Tree Sitter and LSP!) are somewhat stable, I expect this productivity and divergence to accelerate. I feel like Neovim will be approaching Emacs "power parity" in the next few years, and that's a very exciting prospect to me.

She's talking about making taxation voluntary.

Which seems on the wrong side of crackpot to me.

Of course anyone who goes on and on about "the threat of violence" when talking about taxes is not going to discuss the issue in good faith. "Building libraries by gunpoint" is a thought terminating cliche. They're a brand of libertarian that elevates the very concept of being required to do something they don't want to as violence against them.

They are exhausting to deal with.

Taxes are the dues you pay to live in the community you stay.

There's a lot the government should stay out of, but there's also a lot the government should be doing as well. And as long as the government should be doing things, it'll need money to do those things.
I've seen a lot of people lately making the "you’re made out of animal parts, so eat animals" argument, which is reasonable on its face. But there's a pretty serious problem with it: those animals get everything they need from plants. And now we're in very murky territory, because now you have to prove—not just hypothesize, but prove—that the human animal is different from other animals in some very specific ways, or you have to weaken the initial claim to the point where it doesn't really say anything at all.
