> However, I'd submit that what that something is is a something that we don't have an English word for, because up to this point humanity has never encountered anything with a cognitive model like GPT-3. So, it doesn't have "understanding", it has a quality-that-has-no-name (not to be confused with the "quality without a name" which GPT-3 most certainly does not have yet).

I think that terms like "philosophical zombie" may be close to the truth, but I'm guessing some sci-fi work has a term that we could adopt.
Is inheritance really that critical a language feature?
Thanks I didn't see this before. In the infrastructure what exactly did they audit? It seems 4 servers? Is that correct? I'm not sure I understand how these companies set up their networks, but every exit point would correspond to a server wouldn't it?

I should probably clarify that I didn't really mean that Mozilla (or mullvad) is unsecure, simply that reports like this don't really tell us a lot, because the infrastructure is quite significant and it might be changing continuously. On the other hand I don't think there's anything better.
I hope the youts feel the same about The Matrix phones.
Rupa Health | Full Stack Engineer, Senior Backend Engineer | Full-time | Remote or San Francisco | https://www.rupahealth.com

Rupa Health is on a mission to make root cause medicine the standard of care. We’re helping doctors get the information they need to get to the root cause of patient disease, so that they can make them healthy. We do that by making lab testing simple. We turn an archaic 15 hour-a-week process into a delightful 15 min task for healthcare practitioners.

We’re still just a 7 person engineering team but are already post-revenue and have strong product market fit (PMF). Our growth rate is through the roof (doubling active users every 6 months) and so we’re looking for talented engineers who want to join us in building the future of lab testing. You’d be working in Django and React with the chance to work cross functionally and own big parts of the product!

If you’re interested, check out our open roles:

* Full-Stack Engineer: https://jobs.lever.co/rupa/f291c87b-97df-4929-9d7d-a9c065d12...

Just "company.com/pagerduty-service" as a "required" annotation (i.e. if you forget your namespace's team gets a reminder at their E-mail, which is another required annotation)

Namespace onboarding is self-service by pull request: a template namespace is in the readme, and contains a number of standard annotations like ldap group and etc. The kubernetes admin team accepts and merges those requests and the bot deploys the namespace folder to the clusters.

This is basically zero overhead at small groups and scales well to giant companies, you just add annotations and sometimes labels as business requirements and structure dictate.

Ask HN: Are batch endpoints a good pattern in REST APIs?
We've been asked by a number of our customers to add endpoints in our API that would allow them to create, update, or delete objects in bulk. Today, we try to keep our endpoints pretty simple, like this:

POST /resource
PATCH /resource/:id
GET /resource/:id
DELETE /resource/:id

The reason for the ask comes when someone needs to operate on thousands (or more) records at a time, and it's more efficient to just do it at once rather than be at the whims of request latencies and rate limits. So I understand the reason behind it. Yet, I don't see a lot of great APIs offer endpoints like this.

Does anyone have thoughts on if this is an ok pattern (or anti-pattern)? I would be curious to see example API docs of any companies that do this particularly well.

(For reference, this is our API: https://docs.moderntreasury.com/)
> I realize they have a lot of different models and probably a limited test matrix

Why would that be hard? They're the manufacturer; all they have to do is keep a handful of every model they've made, stick them in a room connected to network and power, and have Jenkins run a job on them that flashes the firmware and reboots. I know I'm oversimplifying, but I don't think I'm oversimplifying by that much, and it shouldn't be hard for the manufacturer to keep test units of their own hardware on hand.
I personally hate the idea of holding back rural connectivity, mapping, and the general advancement of space-based science and industry in order to preserve the sacrosanct emptiness of certain orbits. Why should your desire for empty orbits outweigh other peoples' desire to put those orbits to productive use?
I'll take the eccentric billionaire actually tackling real issues and making actual headway.

Bezos is literally the greedy avatar of Edison in this race, who's only advances are only made through parasitic monopolies, tyranny, and his own ego. He literally walked out in a cowboy hat to tell the world "thank you for your money peasants!"

The war on drugs has made more casualties than done any good. I think police should be stripped of any kind of immunity and respond to their actions, they have cameras on them and can prove things, and of course laws like these repealed at federal level (or at least fixed so that the police cannot abuse it).
That's great to hear, it's just not what GPs are telling their patients.
While it's true he will give grants to accomplished people, he also makes far more grants to smart young people (often from non-Western, lower income nations) that are _not_ accomplished, for things like "general career development". People like Byrne Hobart and David Perell launched their writing careers via EM. And even in the list you linked to, there's a 15 year old and a high school junior.

Regarding success rate, his explicit goal is to fund extremely ambitious people and projects that would otherwise struggle or not get funding at all. This could mean funding the most speculative or risky (or highly societally beneficial but lower financial return) ideas from already accomplished people or funding talented people that would struggle to get funding otherwise (due to age, access to capital, etc). I believe (and I think TC agrees) that there are likely many people and projects whose course could be substantially altered for the better if given access to a reasonably small amount of money early enough to convince the person to work on it full time.

You are not in favor of publicly funded k-12, you don’t want to extend free education to colleges…you don’t want student loans for college (I agree), and you have expressed the personal difficulty and expense of paying for a private education for your kid.

You obviously value education or your wouldn’t pay the private tuition for your kid…but it sounds like you are advocating for no tax funded (public) education for k-12 because it is a bad ROI, which would leave only private educations which are a financial burden to you and probably out of the realm of possibilities for most families.
> Regarding double hash, it is being used by miners today Greg within BSV... and it works.

What do you mean "used by miners" of course it's used by miners it's part of the Bitcoin protocol.

> Interestingly again it is YOU that seems to think that it is a BAD idea, just like you think everything is a bad idea that isn’t lining up with your vision.

It doesn't have anything to do with "vision". If a miner spends energy constructing a block with transactions in it they've never seen then the can't be sure the transaction is valid and that it doesn't conflict with some other transaction they're attempting to include. And if the person who does know the transaction doesn't provide it immediately when the block is found, the block will end up stale and abandoned (and every millisecond of delay increases the odds of that). This is objectively pretty risky, but hey-- if you want to do something risky, that's on you.

But, regardless of it being a bad idea or not, it's in no way aided by using sha256(sha256()), you can do that foolish thing just as well if Bitcoin had happened to use sha256(): Just hand the miner the hash of the transaction. So Wright's "explanation" was just another purely fabricated bit of technobabble nonsense.

His lies actually work better when they make little sense because then he can deflect discussion to a debate over literal nonsense rather than face that what he's said is simply wrong an outright fabricated falsehood.

> forcing your vision of the world through peoples throats

I haven't forced anyone to do anything. Quite the opposite. By contrast, scammer Wright has sued me for _6 billion dollars_ so it is I that am forced to debunk his bullshit. Though it's increasingly looking likely to me that he's going to lose his case through simply failing to respond.

> so don’t go telling him he is helping humanity lol....

Maybe consider working on your reading skills. Arthur von Pelt is a kind person who has put in a fair amount of effort helping to protect his fellow man from a fraud. His care for others is an example of benevolence and compassion. In fact, he probably is helping humanity-- he's certainly been an aid to myself. But that isn't what I said.

I'm a superfan as well and I think the Blue Ant ones hold up the best. With a few years of context we can see now that he was really well ahead of the curve on a ton of stuff that is now our reality. When Cayce explains why she quit coolhunting she says that the world has begun to suffer a contagion wherein almost everybody is a coolhunter of some kind, and of course that did happen, but the publication of the book where she says this predates instagram by two or three years. Gibson was one of the first to point out how ubiquitous internet essentially killed the geographical subculture with its signature language of fashion and so on. They still exist, but on a smorgasboard of options presented by the twining together of internet and culture. The Bigends of our world will send global anything that looks promising, shorn of its physical context.

e: Molly Millions is the most iconic and famous Gibson character but I think Bigend, with his charm, machinations, drive to commodify art, etc, is the one really representing an archetype for our times.
It's worth noting that the AAS is a nonprofit scientific society, and so has different incentives than a for-profit publisher like Springer. You can take a look at the AAS tax returns here: https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/210...

In 2019 the Journals division reported $7.3M revenue against $5.6M expenses. Direct-paid salaries appear to be a minority of expenses; the AAS journals are hosted by IOP publishing (https://iopscience.iop.org/), so presumably IOP charges for its journal hosting platform are a significant proportion of the remaining expenses.
Telling they fired Sturckow when he was pretty outspoken such as this:

In another e-mail, in 2019, he urged his fellow test pilots to be more transparent: “Failure to admit mistakes in flight test is a cancer that must be nipped at the bud.” Stucky, whom I wrote about in the magazine in 2018, had been particularly troubled by Mackay and Masucci’s unwillingness to take responsibility for what he perceived to be their mistakes on the July, 2018, flight.

No, I said I forget it is running.

Hot take. Neuromancer is like the best novel in the genre.
If they introduce better KYC, you pay naive people to be a "representative" for your company and tell them they get to keep 5% of any payment they forward. It's a pretty old trick. When it blows up, all you get is some naive person who says "but they even had a logo and sent me my own business cards" and a lot of money orders sent somewhere.

You should email him and ask him if he's considered this. Of all funders, he seems like one of the most likely to consider doing this (and given some of the people he funds, it may actually be possible to run some sort of experiment while minimizing moral hazard). I'm fairly certain he'd at least answer the question though.

Not the author, but even if 17 is undercounted, it seemed their argument was more about the perception that the number was closer to 1700; which is patently ridiculous. And the propensity for a single political team to believe that.

Or, just as ridiculously, something like 2/3's of republicans believe The Big Lie(tm). Granting that an American election could be stolen, we might put the odds closer to 1%, but there is a perception that it is closer to 99%.

I believe what the author is getting at is how far our perceptions our from actual facts on the ground reality. And further what is concerning that most people who are aware of this don't even seem to mind.

Personally, I'm not sure what else we would expect, apes gotta have faith in something after all.

NUCs aren’t fanless, the newer versions tend to be 25W and have very loud and whiny fans, and in fanless cases they tend to throttle, sadly.

I replaced one with an M1 mac mini and the mac mini is faster and near silent - I have literally never heard the fan over the room’s background noise, and I’ve thrashed the thing.
I have this same experience as well. During college, with exams in the mornings, I've also tried shifting periods: going to sleep really early just to wake up early and study for some hours until the exam.
That did not work well - a consistent sleep routine is very important!

> Designing != documenting design.

At least at Google (where I work), a "design doc" is an iterative and interactive design proposal, including alternatives considered and rationale for design choices made, not (just) documentation of what the design is.

"Documentation" of the sort you describe is an almost entirely unrelated thing, again just speaking of Google.
A result is scientific not when experiments confirm it, but only when repeated attempts at disproving it all fail. Without the skeptics, the crackpots, the deniers, there is no science.

When vaccines are concerned, the skeptics have been censored and ostracized (generally speaking, not on HN). Therefore, whatever results are claimed to be science are not such, or at least not yet. Relying on anecdotes is the only recourse that we have to restore some semblance of scientific process.

Reddit's procedure for communities that go against any mainstream progressive narrative is to quarantine them and then ban them under the accusation of "brigading".

They have essentially trimmed all alternative thought or discussion from the website and turned places like /r/news, which used to be a moderate and balanced place of discussion, into a completely one-sided echo chamber of modern progressive politics.

The part I find most humorous is I only discovered /r/NoNewNormal this morning and found the posts there to be genuinely kind hearted, open to rational discussion, welcoming and positive. Yet they were obliterated hours later and are now being described by media outlets as evil anti-vaccine bullies. It must be nice to wield the power to delete your ideological enemies in one stroke and then get to describe them however you want across 10 media outlets without chance for rebuttal, debate, or explanation.
