...A college coach who participated in grift and bribery, indirectly or otherwise, in a system that exploited young athletes to play a violent sport with lifelong consequences for health mentally and physically and offered no long term health care and virtually no monetary reward.

No successful NCAA coach is a moral paragon. John Calipari used to be held as the bad boy, but actually he was the most honest of the bunch.

Not to sound crass, but it's literally the article that started the whole thing, it's not much of a "find".
Yeah, post 2020, that's another problem. If it's hard to get batteries, I'm sure Toyota would rather build 4 PHEVs than one EV.

But, rewind to 2019 when supply chain was not an issue and non-Tesla EV sales were still really bad. The Model 3 was selling an order of magnitude better than the top non-Tesla EV, the Bolt.
Now, see, I would argue EXACTLY the opposite. I worked (briefly) for a Rails "house." I was assigned to a project that someone who had left the company had been working on, and told to add payment processing. I started working through the idea, putting stuff in the places it should go throughout the stack. About halfway through the process, I finally noticed some code that looked almost exactly like my function, "below the fold" of the text editor window. Then I started noticing that I had duplicated the little snippets of code needed in many files. They looked almost the same, and they were in all the same files. In fact, I realized that ALL the code to enable the processing was already done, and all I had to do was expose it on the page. To me, it was a crystal clear example that each bit of code needed to do something in Rails has a "correct" spot, and it's hard for me to believe that anyone with a nominal understanding of Rails wouldn't grok the organization, and naturally do things "the Rails way."
It sounds to me like you just explained the "illusion". You're made up of deterministic processes, but it feels like you're making a choice.
Apiiro Finds Private Code Repos More Hackable Than Public
This is part of why I think a ban on humanoid and even animal-like robots should be considered. Our intuitions are leading us astray here and we are going to start extending rights to things that don’t have subjective experience, but may insist to us that they do. It’s going to create intense confusion and an extremely inefficient bureaucracy that will stifle innovation.

I agree with you that Google wants to lock users into their ecosystem. Separetly, i think @brnt is 100% correct; an app password should do the trick for you. Well, at least for now...because @brnt said it best with the following: "...As with all things Google, the only winning move is not to play. Long term I'm sure they'll axe this and tell you to use their app or bust."
It's clear that no one in the comments section has actually read the article.

There are specifically 6 clinics that JAB has to sell to a third-party after the acquisition - all of them are either emergency or specialists of which the market is uniquely bare of options.

The FTC has no problem with clinics rolling up into a chain.
Of course, if the arbiter is chosen by the defendant (as is the case in most fine-print 'gotcha' arbitration clauses), the same problem of motivated reasoning applies as in the article.
Ah, so it's only a problem that should affect poor people who live in undesirable areas.
This has nothing to do with being super special.

Sentience is literally the thing that defines our experience of the world. It's irrational to dismiss it as "Oh, that's nothing. Don't worry about it."

It may well be "a semi-random by product of natural laws and processes", but that's a hand-wavey non-explanation.

Whatever the details are, we're so completely ignorant of them we can't even hazard a reasonable testable hypothesis about how exactly natural laws and processes create self-awareness.

Saying it's a non-problem because "obviously" it just is, is the opposite of science.
OpenBSD ships tmux in the base system. I would be very pleased if more systems did this.
Because one typically only uses the Vet closest to the pet. If your only options are the guy(s) down the street(s) in any direction are "which vet is closest to me" and they ALL happen to be the same corporate entity who can grid the community with vets... you'll get gouged.

What will be interesting is when they go buying up all the farm vets -- and then hiking THOSE prices up, which will put further costs on farms and animals, food and crops... and then that translates into an ADDITIONAL increase in costs of food/collapse of independent farmers and further control of the price-supply-line of all foods...

They alread did this in conjunct with pharma and agri-fertilizer bullshit...

I wouldnt be surprised if Monsanto is behind this...

Do these funds mandate the vendors from whom the vets can buy medicines and supplies from, likely the other companies they own.

This is "Serious Business" -- and these people are EVIL.

They dont give a fuck about anything, but have paid a bunch of quants to maths death into profits.
For Tether, yes. For USDC, none of the other, shady things have happened to put Circle's attestation under scrutiny.

The entire concept of attestations isn't in question here, only how Tether's attestation doesn't line up with its other actions.
Is there even a consistent notion to the idea of a person adding a set amount of value?

If we take a 3 person company and use a simple system to measure value added, how do you break down the value added by A who is +100k, B who is x2, and C who is x2?

If you remove either B or C, half he value of the company is gone, so they each add half. But if you remove A then the entire value of the company disappears. So they add 50%, 50%, and 100% of the value of the company respectively?

This is a pretty simple example, modeling real world would involve much more complex interactions, yet even with this simple one it would be hard to create a universal way of measuring value that is universally applicable.

Is the notion that a person contributes a set amount of value something like set theory, in that it sounds pretty good and usable for many things but with enough analysis there is a flaw underlying the entire system that requires some creative work to get around, enough so the common mental model no longer applies and thus the original concept can be said to not be possible?

Regulatory captures is a specific thing, it's not so much applicable to 'housing' because contractors don't have some hill to climb vis-a-vis regulations that big contractors have some kind of advantage.

Drugs, where we definitely want regulation, have that kind of issue, there are huge regulatory hurdles to jump through that require scale.
I'm currently going through this right now. I gave myself a month to "study" for the tech interviews, but I find myself demotivated and can't muster the time or the effort to go through them. I'd do one or two Leetcode problems, but that's it.

Hopefully things get better.

The issue isn't with machines, but humans as just machines. You rightly point to the assumption: "If we built a human from scratch at atom level detail then it would be reasonable assume it would experience the world as we would." What's the reason the clone has to have experience?

I'm not sure whether this clone would or not, but we don't have a good basis for either. If we built one, we should act like it does experience things, but that's on moral, not scientific grounds.
checkout elixir/phoenix. Its almost as productive as rails while having performance within the same realm as go.

pros: imutable data types. ruby like syntax. similar codebase organization. super fast. more modular than rails. the websocket system is way faster to develop in and deploy.

cons: no runtime metaprogramming but you do have a sophisticated macro system. not as many drop in libraries. not as many jobs for it yet.

I worked with people who did (human) clinic roll ups.

Part of the issue at hand is that doctors and physicians are notoriously bad businesspeople. So once they build up a big enough practice, a lot of them will jump on the chance to sell the side of the business that they hate to a management firm.
Thanks that's it.

I'm just balking a bit with the word 'hydration' entering into some kind of normative lexicon.

I think there is probably a better word for that.
> The risk of confiscation is high

If that's your worry (and not that you shouldn't), consider that the risk of confiscation of your bank balance or stock accounts is far higher given that those are merely entries in a database held by a third party.

Essential means you both need it to live and your body can't make it on its own - you must get it from diet.

Sure, until you actually look at the matrices of controlling board / ceo / congress seats these guys hold, and what has been recorded throughout history in what they do when investing...

Its incredibly naive to think that they arent actively affecting prices.

"What are you talking about, these guys are JOB CREATORS! they only invest in index holds!"

Yeah... good luck deciphering whats really happening when you think such.

I don't give a shit what you think about John Oliver, but his "Corp Consolidation" piece shows you just how these units operate:

Then they ensure that they all buy in-network shit... so all profits stay in the family. Incestuventure Capitalism. (And no its not about "economies at scale on pricing"

Until next year! It doesn't get better.
I had an ex that pulled out all electrical plugs on literally everything, TV, washer, router, lamps etc etc. It was infuriating and a constant argument, because yes, sometime there can be an electrical fire while your gone, but the probability is extremely low. Same goes for the dishwasher and washer, while it can happen, it has never in my lifetime happened to me or anyone I know of, and if It did, that’s why we have insurance to cover those flukes instead of going to annoying lengths and extra costs our entire lifetime.

Now from a repairman’s perspective it ends up feeling different, because even if the change is one in 10 million washes, he might still be going out to tons of such situation so from his perspective it happens “often enough” but in reality you should’t structure your life around it. You might however if you know your running very old equipment of if you know you wouldn’t be ensured if an accident happened or such of cause, but for us, being able to run our washer and dishwasher on solar for the next 40 years greatly outweighs the fact that we may once have to deal with a leakage, though in all likelihood we won’t.
>What are the signs that you're about to burn out?

Burnout is a float number not a binary.

Early burnout is just crashing after work. You might be mentally/physically/spiritually exhausted from whatever and you just cant go on. This early burnout feels normal but it's the warning zone. Time to do something. If not stress += 1 is going to happen.

Second stage is where you start doubting yourself. The things from the first stage exhausting you are now making you feel shame. Like did my skills drop or am I not good enough to fix that problem?

The third stage is about putting armor on. You need to defend against your detractors who are seeing you fail. They are commenting and putting you down. You need to defend yourself constantly. You're deeply burnout and aren't performing properly and people are noticing.

The final stage that is rock bottom. You're in crisis and falling apart. You're probably experiencing lots of health problems.

>What have you seen that was the precursor to it, what if anything did you or can you do to avoid it?

I figure everyone goes through it at least once. You totally can avoid it and get help. If you go looking for help and dont really need it... it's not a bad thing. So what's the risk in trying to get help?

>Right now I think I see a general lack of real energy, more stress from the recent economic impacts to our business, being more short tempered, getting sick more often (colds for instance).

You have to also realize that perhaps some of these things are just what's going on around you. Might be happening and just coincidentally looking like burnout.
I don't know if "most shops are now using interpreted languages" is an accurate statement :) (I actually don't know).

But I think that's definitely an interesting idea (likely with some small levels of extra caution with some specific high profile files, like an API definition/endpoint or something).
fwiw, I love the FTC and vets, but this does not seem like the top news of today in hackernews world.
I think Reddit works quite well as an effective review site for products from certain brands, and in most of the brand subs maintained by independent mods, you do get a wide spectrum of views.

True, and I do remember reading that passage, but hadn't thought about it in a while as it's suspiciously omitted from the interview transcript.
It's not the snow that is dangerous, it's the cars.

Americans don't like to admit certain things, and this is one of those. You shift blame from how your roads are built to things like weather.

From the grandparent:

> Cold weather and darkness are not obstacles.

They really are not the obstacles, so I'd ask you to not use them as excuses.
Not many of their locations are speciality.
It is directing a physical process. The physical process is the changing physical state of the CPU, whatever level you want to get down to, and an artificial intelligence program isn't doing anything different at that level than any other program is doing.
It's explaining why here:

> In general, gas is cheapest in countries that are net exporters of crude oil and refined oil products. These countries have surplus oil production that they can export and provide gas to their domestic markets at below-market, heavily subsidized costs.

This suggests the U.S. recently went from being a net exporter to an importer, and I think that was done during this administration. It's no secret they are pushing for more green energy, and doing so by decreasing existing gas and oil production.

This is the natural result of believing combustion engines are a huge problem for the environment. Of course we need to stop using it, so higher prices is good because people won't use it as much. Unfortunately it's a drastic change and it's affecting everything because there really is no proper alternative. The end result is that it hurts poor people the most.
> The market settled on this extremely convoluted system, which makes no sense to outsiders, specifically because it's so profitable

Which exact parties are extracting excess profits?
I find games that have a linux build, even if I can't get it working, usually are a lot more likely to work well with proton. So it's a plus even if you're clear you aren't going to support it.
To some degree this was a system or process failure. The build should have never become a beta build that gets send to the public. Many years ago I worked on an Android game where on April 1st one of the other devs swapped the game's theme for Never Gonna Give You Up as a similar prank directed at the QA team. If we had shipped this more widely, it would have been a larger organizational failure, similar to this case.
LaMDA in this sense _cannot_ learn. It takes a few thousand word parts as input and produces an output. It doesn’t update its weights beyond that, each time it produces a new input the same process is run.

That leads to the most obvious question: "Are your training manuals and materials as closely guarded of a secret?" If not, then your implementation of them, however compromised, is not a secret either.
> [From HN Guidelines] Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.

Your comment feels like a shallow dismissal because it seems oversimplified to me. I am ~90% confident if I followed your suggestion I would be injured. While the article provides advice on how to proceed through each stage fairly safely. In fact, in the tips and tricks section of the article there appears to be a video of someone following your suggestion and injuring themselves.
I guess it is hard to say either way, but it could be that most of those people didn't really think the Boston Dynamics robot was sentient. Perhaps they were doing some performative empathy thing. Or they may have just been joking.

Or maybe a couple people made comments like that for humor, and the rest were repost bots, trained on their comments. Let's not speculate about their internal motivation, it'll get recursive.
My current strategy is lowering my expectations and being willing to engage in different work.

What you are describing that I feel in the same boat on is the impossible whack a mole game we are trying to play. It's like a dart board on an always moving target.

It's impossible to catch that objective, you just need to practice / focus on what you are good at and try to look for opportunities that need these skills. It's hard for me because I don't want to work with PHP anymore, but I get a lot of recruiter spam for it. Maybe I could even be ok with a PHP dev based job if the people and structure around the work was reasonable and humane.

My goal right now is to focus on my strengths, try not to be too self-critical when the few opportunities I do see don't match up. It's a waiting game I just wish there was more that I could do proactively.
Nice to see all the different devices being worked on for (close-to) mainline Linux support. Some even have working mobile data, wifi etc.

The only weird choice is not having systemd and also using musl due to being based on Alpine ;)
"Recently, I was asked if I was going to fire an employee who made a mistake that cost the company $600,000. No, I replied, I just spent $600,000 training him. Why would I want somebody to hire his experience?"

It's more like the PR / social interaction version of this.
> The biggest complaint I've had from companies who utilize that architecture is that I shouldn't have to run entire pre and post pipelines to make a minor change to an internal function that only affects one package in the entire repository.

Perhaps that sounds like the problem is not with the monolithic architecture but with the internal processes? If you "shouldn't have to" do something, then why do it?
Except the Bolt still all sold all of its inventory. They just didn't make many of them.

FWIW I was shopping for one back there in Ontario (when we still had EV subsidies). I ended up getting a Volt because the Bolt was unobtainium even at the EV-friendly dealer I was shopping at. 8 month wait at least.
I agree with you SSR is an optimization but I wouldn’t call it a fad. Take a page that is static for 99% or even 100% of all users—it wouldn’t make sense to have distributed rendering at scale by each client. Instead SSR allows the server to render once and then just serve from the cache. Not only does it speed up the page for the user it saves energy. So I would classify it as a fundamental optimization here to stay.

Show HN: PostgresML integrates Hugging Face to bring SOTA models into the db
Hello folks,

It's been a few weeks, so we thought it might be time for another update and this one is very exciting indeed.

We've added automatic integration with Hugging Face transformers! By running just a single SQL command, anyone is now able to deploy any of the state-of-the-art models into their Postgres DB for real time inference & tuning.

The list of models is long, but here it is anyway: translation, sentiment analysis, summarization, question answering and text generation.

Let us know what you think!
