The results, published in the journal The Leadership Quarterly, were unequivocal. With increasing power – that is number of subordinate under the leader or the number of decision choices available to the leader – leaders were inclined to look out for their own self-interest at the expense of those for whom they were responsible. Even those who have honest and socially-acceptable attitudes at the moment of their accession to a position of leadership rather easily changed their moral perspectives once they got a taste of power.
>This is especially problematic because QM doesn't predict any particular decomposition of a quantum state into particular classical states.

It does predict it, this decomposition is called decoherence, where a classical state splits into a superposition of several different classical states.
Hahaha, you got me there! I’ll be caught one day and pay for the hours I’ve saved. At the end of the day if I can’t read what I wrote thats on me.
My understanding is that it's absolutely normal for the headline to be written by an editor maximizing for clicks, rather than by the article author.
This might be an option in a lot of downtown areas but not on the outskirts of London (the hotels are mostly airport / motel types) or in the middle of nowhere in Scotland where 4 of my sister's previous Airbnb rentals have been.

Her last one was incredible. A lovely little 3 bed home with a hot tub in the garden room.
Sure there are. It's just kids don't know anything useful though that we actually need them to write essays. That's why we have them write pointless essays instead.

But I have to write essays on how certain systems work, and how certain tasks are achieved in my job in order to document these things. My writing skills definitely play a big part in making a tutorial that is easy for anyone to read and understand.
I think they're more similar than you think, definitely along the same continuum. This isn't an argument for why this data collection is ok however, I'll actually take the more radical stance that even the local face recording is unethical or at least pointless and possibly harmful.

> “what footage do I have locally of this face?” which can be extremely helpful when securing a home.

How? What mechanism of security is strengthened here? Almost certainly your only use case for this data is handing it over to the police to apply their facial recognition systems to it. Which they have because of homeowners like you, I guess. It's the same surveillance apparatus as in your google case except more manual and less efficient. If it shouldn't exist at all, a bad version of it also shouldn't exist.

> As things stand I'd need a significant pay rise to start working from an office again

If I am understanding the parent, the point being made is this may be less of an option for many if companies revert. If there aren't many opportunities to work remotely, this will become more of a perk, like free lunches, and not something other organizations will compensate you for. Not everyone may have a choice to demand more money if the number of WFH options are very limited.
I think it is a stretch to compare Nim and Go as anything other than statically compiled languages. Nim is the anti-Go with every possible programming paradigm inside the language.

Sure— It's not at all tenable right now for teachers to provide in-depth critique on long essay assignments— that doesn't make critiques with avoiding, it makes long essay assignments worth avoiding.

I took a very difficult gatekeeper exposition class at a famously rigorous university a few years ago and loved it. We had to write a ton, but I didn't mind it because when you're learning to write, you need to write a ton. And boy did we. But not all classes there were like that! Some classes, mostly classes about writing were deemed "writing intensive," but others would require little more than a few pages here and there. The standard for that scant output extremely high and the intellectual critique was often blistering; the teacher concentrated on the subject matter instead of combing 50 paragraphs for split infinitive.

Currently, I attend a significantly less rigorous university as a full-time undergrad. I have 5 classes, including an elective on the history of a particular art form. The final will be a 10 page paper and 20 minute presentation preceded by a 2 page proposal. While this class requires significantly less written output than the exposition class, the assignment will still take an disproportionate amount of my time. The teacher has many students and no TA, so each paper will receive a cursory intellectual critique, but primarily graded on format and grammar. I'll not likely have learned more than if I'd written a really tight 2/3 page paper that got several serious critiques along the way.
PyTorch does have issues with both distributed tensor (which is easier to solve) and deployment (which is harder to solve, but solvable).

I also think Keras' Functional API is superior in terms of composability than PyTorch's OOP model, but I am biased as a software engineer. It does feel like the community thinks the OOP model is much more hackable thus easier to use.

All in all, it is still early days. We don't have a competent all-in-one OSS SQL database until late 2000s, which is 20-ish years after the theory was ready and taught extensively in the school. And even after that, we have plenty of innovations around database in 2010s for new use cases. Frameworks for differentiable programming have long way to go.
Are we sure the language models won't do just as well writing essays requiring writing skills or critical thinking? What about a couple years from now?

Getting a good grade on a class assignment is getting pretty darn close to passing the Turing test.
Slightly tangential but I just recently went to my first concert since COVID hit and ticket master is using digital tickets now? Before you could print a paper copy and get it scanned at the door but now the barcode in the app/webpage is changing every 60 seconds, like the code on an RSA fob. Seems like that on its own is enough to block scalpers.
2nd cousin relationships are common in most parts of the world, and not viewed with the circumspection that 1st cousin relationships tend to be. You are much more genetically distant from a 2nd cousin than you are from a 1st.
Fair enough, that was my point though, San Francisco is really dense, and has no room to expand. So you're looking at a city too big for its own good in some ways, as in, everything is a lot harder to manage when not only is it one of the largest in population, but also smallest in area resulting in really dense population and also no available land for growth.
?? I don't know what that means, but AFAICT, the keybindings you suggested does not actually solve the problem with the use of Control. I tried to make that as painfully obviously as possible with the Print shortcut; control-p
can't both be previous-line and a shortcut for print.
The crux of it is this change was implemented at a time when people are already being squeezed five ways from Sunday by everything else.

It may feel more fair that the fastest clickers win and ticket prices don't change (and many people don't get them) versus the fastest clickers get the cheapest tickets and other people have to pay 2-5x as much.
Performers don't actually want to be bleeding dry their fans' bank accounts. They are forced to participate in that system if they want to play at any venue over a particular capacity, all of whom have strict partnerships with TM. In that system, the performers have virtually zero input or control over the ticket price, and often have tight restrictions on where and how often they can perform at these venues.

So, it's not a matter of scarcity, but a matter of one company hyper-maximizing profits based on an illusion of scarcity that they create. And the only intention is to con middle and low-income families into spending exorbitant sums to see their favorite performers, while the labels and marketing agencies spend millions to convince them the shows shouldn't be missed. It's all by design.

Seeing a concert should not be a once in a decade event, and for many families, it currently is. And the only people preventing them from seeing those shows are a handful of executives at a couple of companies, for the sake of absolutely absurd profit margins.
> My son just started school at a respectable US university.

> I told my son to avoid on-line classes in the future because he was just putting himself at a disadvantage.

At a disadvantage for what?

For learning the material - sure, when an easy avenue for cheating with obvious incentives is available, it's unreasonable to expect people not to take advantage of it. Also, I expect that teachers have significant incentives to reduce their lecture efforts - why read the room, modify the lecture in response to Q&A, and tailor curriculum to the actual class progress, when you can just push "play" on the recording from last semester?

On-line classes give him an advantage for getting a piece of paper from a respectable US university, however - less work, same piece of paper, same results as far as job eligibility and resume eye-catchers...
It is kind of frustrating how pervasive the "programming can be learned in an afternoon" mindset is, in spite of all the evidence to the contrary. Pardon me for being insulted by the insinuation that something that took me 40 years to become as proficient as I am with it can be mastered by everybody else in a few months.
Yep. I'm using a no-good horrible app called "DICE" to access smaller venues here in LA. One of the simple tricks is that they don't show you the ticket until just before the show. Can't be seen, can't be sold.
Notably Facebook has been building AI profiles of face recognition from its users' photos for more than a decade now. Yet no Texas lawsuit. It's important to recognize the clear political angle here too. Paxton sees Google as an enemy whereas Facebook is closer to "his team" (or at least relies for more of its revenue on his team).

And I get how this comment will be taken, but it would be good for all the HN libertarians to introspect and think a bit on whether they really want to get their "stronger enforcement of personal internet privacy standards" via "extended use of state power against political enemies".

Seems like both of those are slippery slopes. I know which one I personally fear more.
I've definitely had interviews where it became obvious the interviewer was competing.

In addition, people love to judge, interviewing is like porn for these people.
I’m slightly surprised by this comment. The main story I see online is more like ‘the places that people [with reasonable amounts of money to spend on property] want to live are in or near the centres of large cities and land-use policies in those cities mean that it is very difficult for developers to build significant amounts of property, so it mostly doesn’t get built’. Obviously there aren’t farmers rushing to convert car-parks in San Francisco into wheat fields.

But perhaps what I’ve read is just wrong or biased towards the kind of wealthier youngish people who want to live near the centres of these big cities and can already afford to rent there.
As someone who's wife had an emergency c-section, it also sounded like (a) the decision for surgery should have been done early based on measured distress in the infant and (b) perhaps the post-birth resuscitation was not done correctly.

As someone who would love an NHS for the US, I was somewhat disturbed by the outcome being a fine for the hospital. It seems like they should have fired some administrators and funded more full time OBs??!?!?
I just checked Live Nation's interactive map and I don't see them having any sort of monopoly. Two venues in Manhattan, two in Miami, etc. Surely those locations have way more venues than that...
Not verifiably, no they cannot.
Menu’s are beginner level, icons are for intermediates and keyboard shortcuts are for experts. All are necessary.

Perhaps "冗長" (jouchou) which translates to prolix, tedious, wordy, etc.

I know that you are just being sarcastic to make your point, but taking it at face value, it's pretty rare for languages to have words with such hyper-specificity.

Is there an English word for completely pointless cynicism towards other people's writing styles that adds nothing to the conversation?
I agree (and said) that a state law has no such US Constitutional concern.

My degree is in English. Specifically I focused a lot on composition theory. Or writing about people writing. I have a few thoughts about this.

1. If it isn't rampant now, it will be in a few years time. Cheating is highly incentivized in college, and this makes it very hard to catch. I doubt you could generate a thesis this way, but you could certainly pass your electives.

2. Writing is highly conventionalized. Half of getting a good grade is following conventions. AI will get really good at this.

3. I suspect ESL students will use this first. When tutoring writing, extremely smart ESL students were getting poor grades in writing courses for having bad grammar, vocabulary, whatever. This will help them get good grades until the AI surpasses native speakers, who will then use it.

4. This is really tragic for students. Writing is really great for solidifying thoughts and learning. I still journal to this day just because of this. This will deeply affect how people learn. But the outcome remains to be seen.

Edit: Better words
People used to recite epics and important texts from memory. All of culture and history was stored solely in the minds of the people. Illiterate people and literate people do use their memories differently, as one has to rely much more on their memory.
To claim this, you must have no clue about what middle management is. It might not look like it, but it's the most critical layer that creates a healthy culture within a company.
It depends on what your definition of "deplatforming" is but if it's so broad to count a twitter ban then "deplatforming" isn't very dangerous in general.

Eh?
Every community that has ever existed self-polices, and (I believe) this is basically insurmountable - the only thing that can be changed is what they self-police for. Even here, Hacker News, we shame incompetent programmers. We shame misinformation spreaders, particularly those among us. We shame politicians who write laws we don't like. Self-preservative self-policing is pretty normal.

He did not have legal "access" to the computer; this isnt how the law, or even basic common sense, works.

OP here; at a tactical level, prefer HTML/CSS and MPA architecture until you have firm evidence of long sessions and many interactions per session that justify JS, and when you add JS to smooth a common interaction based on data, build from progressive enhancement unless it's impossible (e.g., a text or image editor).

More pithily, maybe PHP was good, actually?

Popping up a level, this isn't about tools, it's about culture and how we decide to choose. I work every day with teams that need to claw back to sanity from years in the JS fever swamps, and nobody's having a good time when launches are blocked on terrible perf, a11y, etc. The root issues here are down to complexity and eng/management capacity to master it. What gets teams in trouble is picking stacks that have mountains of implicit complexity without attendant controls.

Some of that is captured in this post; hope it helps:

That article only mentions two students.

One of those students doesn't mention using GPT to generate essays. The only mention generating lists and other short-response questions. I find that believable.

The other student mentions essay writing, but also says that they "didn't ace the essay" (no mention of the grade).

So, the article linked literally isn't evidence for the claim.
Trivial sounds inappropriate. It doesn't get any more complicated then that scenario in this case.

You'd have to re-appropriate people's family homes, or buy it from them. You have to destroy, possibly decontaminate, and then rebuild, there's the neighborhood to think about as well, with neighbors having to deal with the construction and the newly obstructed view, etc. Does the infrastructure support feeding water, gaz, electricity, internet as needed for a large apartment complex, and so on.

It is feasible, but can you think of a more complicated situation then this one? As it comes to cities and paths to increase housing, San Francisco seems to be one of the hardest one to accomplish.
I don’t know why I’ve had such a different experience to others, but in both cases where I complained to Airbnb when a host was unable or unwilling to offer a resolution, Airbnb made things right for me - in one case even covering the parking ticket I’d ended up with from the host’s crappy instructions, in the other, the listing was removed as the issues were too egregious to number.

How far along is running a regular linux desktop os with working ui on an m1? Recently there were articles that Linus had been using an M1 running some version of linux but there were some aspects of the system that weren't working well, believe it was the ui, maybe he was even in text mode.

They broke down the door (and destroyed the glass in the process) to get it. The police took the report, gave me a piece of paper, and I've never heard from them since.
Impressive! Is this the same test suite that was already ran on OSX using Alyssa's user space driver but now on Linux using the Rust kernel driver?

If so that seems to be shaping up REALLY well!
It may be, from a purely self-centered perspective (and I can appreciate that). However, hobos, drifters, and homeless generally force large externalities on the rest of us--i.e., it's not pure libertarianism.
I don't agree. I'm asking for a response in the form of "Global center for issue X is..." Instead I've received a "Part A is left of center, Party B is right of center." So no, I don't think I've been given what I asked for.
Side note: I released https://stay100.app a few weeks ago. It is a desktop based search engine for AirBnB.
You should also factor in "imputed rent," which is what you would have spent on housing had you not owned a home. Subtract your property taxes, mortgage interest (+ PMI if you had it), and upkeep costs from how much it would have cost in monthly rent to live in your home.

Generally, even if you lose money from inflation, property taxes, transaction costs, and maintenance, imputed rent will put you ahead in the end.
"has been" is key. I had the personal experience of not loosing power in Silicon Valley and that was in big part to PG&E's battery array that held up in the absolutely worth heatwave. Battery development is unsurprisingly growing explosively as it's the key bottleneck for EVs.
> You can derive if from the MWI.

Not as an actual physical process, no. "Collapse" in the MWI just means that, once the "worlds" have decohered, within each "world" the wave function can be collapsed to the one that describes the measurement result observed in that "world", for purposes of predicting future results. But in the MWI this is just a mathematical convenience and doesn't correspond to anything physically happening.

In the theories being tested by the experiments described in this article, though, collapse is an actual physical process: there is only one "world". This contradicts the MWI.

It's sickening that this is always marketed as bad news, even though we've been in a bubble for the past 20 years. The bad news is that we decided that owning a house is a retirement plan instead of giving people proper retirement plans. Somehow every non-homeowner has to be a policy slave to the passive income of some wealthy person. And we defend it by claiming that old people who are worth enough money not to work are not wealthy, as if we care about old people. We only care about old people as model "savers" who can be used to morally justify policies that directly and overwhelmingly benefit the very wealthy to the obscenely wealthy.

And also, there's a problem with revolving credit (i.e. a 2-year mortgage), such as Australia or Britain, or anything that is floating along with some interest rate. But these are a) intentional problems that the people making the loans hope will make them rich, and b) problems with pricing, because people are expected to take decades longer to pay off a house than it would take for them to build it alone with their own hands in their spare time.
