The argument is not incosistent, as I understand it, you just talked past each other. What the above commenter meant is that Elon was not worried about appearing a hypocrite, as a matter of shame - that is, it is not like his conscience was burdened. He worried about losing Tesla valuation, something that truly would be caused by appearing as a hypocrite to the public - so his circus was merely a calculation based on that.
The usefulness of an audit is heavily influenced by whether the process is cooperative or adversarial.
It's possible to convert a one-off payment into a lifetime regular payment.

Simply invest the 5K and take out regular installments whose size is calculated based on your expected lifespan. Or buy an annuity.

I frequently do that when presented with a lump sum of money - although few others seem to.
> It seems like the purchase price should be of the order of 6% less in that case.

That's not what his contract says.

Either the bots are pretty close to the 5% figure Twitter says (and 6% is definitely pretty close), and Elon has to buy at the figure he specified, or they're enough higher to have a significant impact on ad revenue, and Elon doesn't have to buy at all.
It's magic. You can't see it. But the fact that we have to probe a machine for these results means the result was not predictable or expected. That's magic.

I think people are biased. What makes me think this? Because some of these AIs have already cleared Turing tests. But everyone is moving the bar higher... a Turing test is no longer a valid definition for sentience; and everyone has developed reasoning for why. Changing definitions to accommodate beliefs is bias.

I actually agree with you. It is a token prediction based off of basic math. That's also essentially what a human brain is... A token predictor based off of basic math.

The existence of these AIs aren't making any profound statements about technological achievement. No. The simplicity of these machines are actually making a statement about human intelligence and how trivial and simple human intelligence actually is.

Again I repeat, the AIs figured it out faster then many humans. This was something previously humans should've universally been better at.

Sure, that conversation seems a little off. But a bar in terms of expectations and AI technology was moved, the fact that someone posted this on HN is proof of this.
To reach carbon neutrality we either need to stop burning fossil fuels, or reduce the population to zero. I know which is the more popular option.
I believe the Boomer definition generally includes births from the stretch of 1946–1962 so, if you’re 60, you’re a (fellow) Boomer, but barely.

I'm nearing 67, so can relate tremendously to everything you said.
Looks like the same thing happens on an Android phone as well.
While true, it is also not a given that you'd need to trust _all_ of HN. I visit sufficiently regularly that I see some people post and recognize their username. I often think -- I wish I could _follow_ them. Not so much of a stretch to think of rings of trust built around particular users. Bringing people in and kicking them out of these trust circles could play a role. PageRank -> TrustRank? Of course it would also be only one metric, among many possible trust rankings and many possible other signals and settings.

I bet the (niche) product as such wouldn't be as hard to build as it would be to scale. Imagine every user constantly tweaking (directly or indirectly) their search result settings, and having that impact millions (or more) indexed items, for every user.
Worth mentioning that gitpod's openvscode-server is a third option. I prefer it to code-server since gitpod's has proper parity with a desktop vscode install, while coder's implementation fails to work with several plugins when loading them in manually
I denied nothing. I simply stated that climate change is business as usual. Have we as humans impacted it, yes. But we’ll either adapt or die. How is that a denial?

I'd never consider letting anyone publish anything without an account on a platform I'm responsible for. I was absolutely baffled to find out that Wikipedia allows it. It seems insane.

I was also surprised how well it works; but oh well, apparently only with desperate measures.

TLS protects completely against network based MitM attacks.

CDNs are purposefully installed in MitM positions.
That's a risk that the sites owner has to manage and it's an optional one at that.

A well funded actor would probably use different kind of vectors and not even bother with website MitM.
nothing is being done, not because massive disruption isn't heading our way, but because adapting would in the very short term be more disruption to the status quo, also lobbies
It's not by design so much as a result of limited participation by the general public. Proceedings are posted to the CRTC's website and are available for anyone to view and comment on.

When it comes to information that the CRTC considers in its decisions, as the CRTC functions quite similarly to a court: they will not consider evidence that is not presented to its version of the public record. Unless the general public submits their comments to proceedings, the comments tend to be limited to the views of carriers and a few public interest advocacy bodies. Stories published in the media, on blogs or elsewhere will not be considered unless someone submits them to the CRTC's record, even though they may be readily access to the CRTC.

This becomes quite important when there is locally relevant information that the commission is not aware of, or if there are business practices that the commission should be made aware of. People need to complain when their choice of internet providers is limited or if incumbents increase prices twice a year. If nobody raises these issues at the CRTC, nothing will change.
You mean wind, solar, nuclear, batteries and electrolysers? Because we have them available right now. In fact, we had them for the last couple of decades.

They thought it was unexpected because it was unexpected. From the abstract:

"These findings stand in stark contrast to the (incentivized) predictions of both experts and a nationally representative sample of laypeople, who - depending on the treatment group, outcome, and time period - estimated treatment effect sizes of +0.16 to +0.65 SDs."
This is great to see. Years ago I created a basic simulation using the same principles of pheromone gradients, one for the nest and one for food. https://youtu.be/VsHc91IhzdI

It a fascinating example of emergent behavior from simple rules.

I've been wanting to find time to revisit the concept and produce an updated version, your simulation seems to include everything I wanted to do and more.
You're welcome, glad you like it.
The problem is in supplying the CA certificate(s) used to verify the web-of-trust. Web browsers are pre-loaded with a huge number of trusted CA certificates. Pre-loading and maintaining that list on an embedded microcontroller is non-trivial. Not to mention what happens when a CA root is compromised or goes rogue, you have to deal with the revocation process.

Your link mentions global_ca_store but provides no guidance on how to effectively populate it. That's the problem.

Interestingly, providing a non-Tivo-ized system, e.g. one that allows connection to an arbitrary cloud server, requires even more work than just hardcoding in "your" CA certificates.

None of this is insurmountable, but it leaves devs pining for a pre-HTTPS world where you can just do a DNS lookup and send "GET / HTTP/1.0" and not have to worry about all the attack vectors that HTTPS protects against, as well as the ones that HTTPS opens you up to.
The closest thing I've had to hangry in 18mos on a one-meal-a-day diet was when I didn't have coffee one day, and it resulted in something close to a narcoleptic episode mid afternoon. I'd speculate (albeit tendentiously) whether hangriness was mostly refined sugar withdrawal.

> To assess trait anger, we used the German translation [44] of the Anger subscale from the Buss and Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BPAQ) [45], which consists of 6 items (sample item: “I have trouble controlling my temper”) rated on a 5-point scale from 1 (do not agree at all) to 5 (totally agree). Cronbach α for scores on this subscale was .81 (for more details, see S1 Table)

They focused on an "anger" measure at face value without much insight into what anger was.

The useful part of managing "hangry," on OMAD is that you can convert the extra aggression into focus and creativity. The paper calls it "ego depletion," and notably, what they did not find (or state) was increased neuroticism or agreeableness or any of the other big-5 personality traits, and particularly whether people suffering from an excess of these traits experienced relief as a result. While not a cure, managed hangriness via fasting could be an interesting hack for someone with a percieved anxiety disorder. Ironically, when you look at the anecdotal history of cultiness around fasting, it's primarily high neuroticism high agreeableness people who claim to benefit from it, and the increased aggression from fasting gets channeled into offsetting the suffering of an imbalanced personality.

Ater 24+ hours without eating, I'm not hangry, I'm an existential hero on an epic quest for food. It's just a question of attitude. ;)
If the new renewable energy sources were really as good as advertised - not only cleaner than fossil fuels, but also so much cheaper as well - then this would indeed be both obvious and inevitable. China in particular has a lot of the world's capacity to produce renewable generation equipment, they shouldn't need to rerun the pollution of western countries to have prosperity and this would solve both their massive pollution problems and their need to find new infrastructure projects to fund in order to prop up the economy, both major political headaches domestically. Yet they keep on pointing to the West's emissions as justification for why they should increase CO2 output instead. They also don't have the NIMBY problems of some Western countries.

My general conclusion is that the reason for this is that switching to green energy is neither as easy nor as cheap as advertised. Sure, on paper the cost per GWh is great and you can even realise much of that for the first few projects, but the cost of dealing with a lack of dispatchability and of intermittency from sources like solar and wind ends up massively outweighing that in practice. So no-one actually wants to switch to an all-renewable grid.
That only happens if you directly visit a malicious site, e.g. https://secure.mybaaankingsite.com

You can protect yourself by going directly to the URL and checking you're on the right domain.

If you don't enforce HTTPS everywhere, any website is potentially malicious, e.g. visiting http://cookierecipes.com can have the same consequences.

It’s hard to get good data - everybody seems to have something to sell.

That said, I’m enjoying this person’s YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/XCvUf9WU4qI

He at least refers to physiology and his videos avoid taking about toxins, acidity and other woo too much.

I accidentally did a nearly 60 hour fast for the first time ever last week as a result of watching that channel and doing some reading. Ate dinner on Monday, I was aiming for 36, felt fine on Wednesday morning so extended to 48 then decided to push on and skip dinner. Woke up at 3am on Thursday feeling such a genuine hunger that made me realise I’ve never been more than ‘peckish’ for most of my life. I caved and ate a small spoonful of ghee (pure fat) which lit my brain up like fireworks. Hunger immediately abated, the physical relief was incredible.

The main advice I followed was to drink more water, probably about double my usual consumption and take electrolyte salts.

https://reddit.com/r/fasting is also a pretty good resource
My local grocery store recently redesigned their milk packages. Before the change the two variants were white and blue respectively. Now they are blue and white. They literally switched the colors after (iirc) 15+ years of the same consistent colorscheme. I'm still puzzled by that move.
Governments can unilaterally embark upon large scale civil engineering projects. I’m thinking Hoover dam.
Do we in fact know that if a few big news orgs dont mention the shooters names that it will motivate them to not do it? I doubt you could ever control such a thing even if you tried (Wikipedia will have to have so it's just one more step to google it).

Plus the shooters often care about change via harming their targets (creating fear in a particular group is what makes something a hate crime or terroism) which happens regardless if their actual name is published.

To all those saying it was obvious how one-off cash transfers wouldn't do anything, you need to explain (1) why both experts and laypeople thought ex ante they would do something:

"These findings stand in stark contrast to the (incentivized) predictions of both experts and a nationally representative sample of laypeople, who - depending on the treatment group, outcome, and time period - estimated treatment effect sizes of +0.16 to +0.65 SDs."

and (2) why they seemingly do have an effect in less developed countries:

"UCTs generally (though not exclusively) have a good record
of improving outcomes for recipients in low-income countries (Baird et al., 2014; Bastagli
et al., 2019; Dwyer, Stewart and Zhao, Forthcoming; Manley, Alderman and Gentilini, 2022;
McGuire, Kaiser and Bach-Mortensen, 2022). For instance, they have been found to raise
recipients’ consumption, improve children’s health, and reduce intimate partner violence."
Even if all went as planned, and we forget all about the epidemic that is killing frogs, we are talking about removing millions of viable eggs from the nature. Eggs from a species in decline and, even worse, bragging about it.

Just to pack "millions of them" in a place that can sustain food for, maybe, one hundred tadpoles?.

Does not seem like a wise move. Would compromise the success in the breeding areas for nothing.
And would be clearly illegal in many countries.

Rescuing tadpoles to a pond (in the same area) could be "justified" in a few cases like a temporary mud puddle that is drying really fast, but messing with the ecosystems just for likes is an horrible idea.
CS50 is a good course but this one has a very useful discussion of open source and licensing issues related to various formats that CS50 seems to lack.

The Lisp instinct is to make a change in a file and immediately hit C-c C-c in Emacs, at which point the change goes live in the system - no matter if it's a variable or a function that you have changed or something else.

You don't need to reload the full module like in BEAM languages like Erlang or Elixir, you can modify a single function or a form without the need to make a version upgrade to the processes running your code - the next time any thread, including e.g. an already running game loop, ends up calling the new function, it's the new version of the function that will end up being called.
Indeed, children on their own have the innate curiosity and desire to develop into functional, social hunters and gatherers.
Took me a while :-) I first bought a Nokia 1.3. Also has Audiojack, interchangable battery and is pretty "smallish" (still 6", but there is NO phone that is the size like an iPhone SE). Unfortunately, the Nokia 1.3 has Android GO and is so underpowered, that it did not work for me.

Samsung has also some nice small phones, I also thought about the S3 mini, but the LG G5 was nearly the perfect fit... could have been a bit smaller though.
Architecture is a wierd one to pick on because it has function and form.

For instance, the gothic cathedral doesn't actually need those two giant pillars out front, it is held up by it's cantilever. So we removed those.

Also... Anyone else think it's very dark in here? How about we change out the engraved walls for windows?

All this thick concrete and engravments don't allow us to build bigger than 8 stories. How about we change it out to a steel internal design and add more windows. It will allow more light, decrease weight and allow us to build higher.

> Absolute neutrality. No detail. No identity.

> What does that say about us?

I disagree entirely with the basis of your argument. The amount of art in TV, Movies, Video games and overall graphic design has been on an incredible trajectory.

What happened is that we started to understand our goals and mission. Adding two $400k gothic style pillars to the facade of a building that do absolutely nothing for thee structural soundness, or spend that 400k to add a bit more elegance to the rooms?

pretentious and ostentatious or functional?
Paypal lies and tells you you can take money out of a US account without linking, instead taking funds out via mailed check. But in fact it does not allow for this. The UX has a dark pattern that will lead you to think this option exists, but it will fail. Any mailed check attempt will end as an error.

Customer service escalation confirms its not possible to take funds out without bank link.

Instead of refunding 5k to customers and asking them to inconvenience themselves by paying again via ACH, we had to open a new bank account.

I repeat.

I went as far as opening a new bank account with a new banking institution that would be solely used to link to PayPal.

Do not link paypal to any core business accounts. You really should segregate your core business accounts from any linking, stripe etc or yodlee-type service, if you can help it.

Let the payment relationship be between your bank and your customer bank only.

No middle man. No surprises

saddens me, the (baseless) myth will perpetuate again and again.

And:

> DoD Short - The American Department of Defense 5220.22-M short 3 pass wipe (passes 1, 2 & 7).

> DoD 5220.22M - The American Department of Defense 5220.22-M full 7 pass wipe.

As well, DOD 5220.22-M is not anymore current (since 2006 or so) and since several years the reference is (should be) NIST SP 800-88 Rev.1 (since 2014):

https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/sp/800-88/rev-1/fi...

BTW nothing "wrong" in making these methods available in the tool for historical reasons, but they should be described as what they are (and how they are largely or totally unneeded)

The good thing (among others) is that - even if it doesn't use it directly - it does includes hdparm that allows (where applicable) to initiate the disk drive internal ATA secure erase.

> Private companies are so much scarier than the NSA when it comes to privacy -- you have none -- your life's data is to be mined, brokered, and sold to the highest bidder.

Intel agencies privatize their spying to get around warrants. Private companies spying on you are not a far step from the NSA spying on you directly.

> The NSA only cares about you if you are talking to a small number of known hostile foreign people who are already a party to a FISA warrant.

Hah. If you have any political aspiration at all, you are a potential target. FBI lied to attain FISA warrants, and the lawyer responsible got a slap on the wrist. DC juries will never convict one of their own, there is zero accountability at this point.

The political press has been telling us how badly the country is run for years; perhaps they can finally get a member of their corps elected and fix all the problems.

I don't think the Democrats need a presidential candidate at the moment. I think they're hunting for a VP to appoint right now, before they bail on Joe. Investigation into the Biden family operations will kick up too much evidence against other party leaders.
There's a lot of skepticism here. But, integrating this algorithm with a crypto hardware wallet could be really interesting.

- it's not about learning a language

- I don't think it's crammed either - it covers a lot but everything is explained in a very accessible way from first principles

- if an introductory course was using only one language, you still wouldn't master the language

- being exposed to different ways to do the same thing is very valuable and very underrated for beginners imo because it teaches you to abstract over concepts - when you learn how to read a file, write a loop, sort an array in each one of C/Python/JS, you develop better understanding of the concept of reading/looping/sorting instead of thinking that the only way to do it is the way your first language does it; you begin to develop a sense of which concepts are language-specific and which ones carry over across languages. I think it's better if this understanding happens early instead of late.
