This is like every article/interview with authors ever. I'm not sure how much you listen to podcasts but most of the time when an author is being interviewed they have a new book coming out. Doing a round of interviews is one of the main ways authors raise awareness about their new books. Digital magazines, podcasts, talk shows, reddit AMAs, etc are all avenues for raising awareness that are actively encouraged by book publishers

Some claim he's supporting racist conspiracy theories in their headlines. I'd say that's an attempt at canceling him. He's good at taking on the victim role though, I'll give you that.
It would need to be tried, but yes, involuntary manslaughter is a real possibility in that scenario. Intent is not needed for going to jail.

I doubt they will ever be dissolved by public or foreign pressure, especially since they consider the protests illegitimate.
Yes I do understand the legal requirement for these kind of things, I was more trying to be understanding of why there was push back from the person the OP is describing. I also think anyone would be hard pressed to find an engineer who has _never_ copied anything from SO without attribution.
No need to invoke a large group when one or two individuals are quite capable of driving around several unattended stations and firing multiple rounds into transmission equipment.

It's not that difficult to know which bits to target for the greatest fallover effect.
If that means that programmers will be replaced by "AI" then what am I supposed to do?
Programming is the only thing that I'm good at.
Does this mean that I will never be able to find a job (I just started my career fresh out of school).
I think this is an overly cynical take. Long form tv show/movie length content is never going to be replaced by algorithm driven short form content, if it was then it would already be happening.

This is the same as the game market. People constantly lament the state of the mobile game market as if it's replaced PC/console games of old, but in reality it's just a new but separate market. There's still just as many (actually many many more) traditional, non incrementally monetized games being made still.
Yeah and no. Metcalf was similar in terms of targeting the transformer with rifle fire. But it was more professionally done (in terms of minimizing forensic footprint) and more hands-off, compared to the gate being pulled down by a truck as in this case.

There are a number of potential suspects, but my feeling is that if there are no arrests in 72 hours you can expect a bunch of copycat attacks. Substations are very poorly secured, and targeting them to cause power outages and provoke crises and riots in cities is a central plank of accelerationist guerrilla war fantasies. 'How it would go down' scenarios that hand-wave the details are widespread, and how-to instructions with varying degrees of specificity are eagerly circulated smaller extremist forums. These range from 'fun and profit' type onesheets that would would get a careless individual caught to quite professional ones suitable for (and probably derived from) military educational materials.

BTW it's 'ringer'.

Unfortunately, while I loved and used ThinkPads for many years, the lack of a 4k or similar hi-DPI screen immediately makes this a non-starter. As does the pitifully poor brightness and color coverage. I’ve never understood how developers could work on a low quality screen after seeing (or using) the first MacBook Pro with a “retina” screen.

That’s not to mention the performance and heating issues that plague every high-end Windows laptop (i.e. the Dell offers 4k screens and above, such as the XPS 17”, but they suffer from thermal issues, suspend issues, and atrocious sound—not to mention being heavy and cumbersome).

Speaking from experience, having used Linux on a laptop as a primary development machine on-and-off for years, you’ll spend many hours of your life trying to fix trackpad issues, suspend and hibernate problems, fan issues, graphic driver hell, boot issues after kernel upgrades, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi “quirks”, etc. And that’s on Dell’s XPS line, not some oddball laptop.

Let me know when there’s a manufacturer that produces laptops with Apple’s XDR screen quality, similar performance, thermals, sound, build quality, reliability, etc., and with the ability to run Linux natively. Competition would be fantastic. Realistically, I don’t see it happening anytime soon.

I do, however, miss the keyboard and “nub”.

> No suspects have been named in the shootings, and investigators have yet to announce a potential motive

How does it make the right (or any group specifically) look bad? There’s online innuendo that this was done for stupid reason X. I’m sure there’s another online unsubstantiated theory that it was actually stupid reason Y, while it might end up being stupid reason Z.

Edit to add: it says “right” above because that was responsive to parent comment text, which has since been stealth-edited.
It is not appropriate to classify this as fiction for the simple reason that Graham Hancock believes what he is saying. He may be faulting, but he is not feigning.

Tell HN: I gave ChatGPT a question from Physics GRE and it answered it correctly
This was the question: "A positive charge Q is located at a distance L
above an infinite grounded conducting plane,
as shown in the figure above. What is the total
charge induced on the plane?"

I simply and copy and pasted it from a Physics GRE practice test without giving it the multiple choice answers [1].

The choices were:

(A) 2Q

(B) Q

(C) 0 <--- right answer

(D) -Q

(E) -2Q

Here is the answer it gave: "When a positive charge is placed a distance L above an infinite grounded conducting plane, the charge will cause an excess of positive charge to accumulate on the side of the plane closest to the charge, and a deficiency of positive charge on the opposite side of the plane. The total charge induced on the plane is the sum of the excess and deficiency of positive charge, which is equal to zero. Therefore, the total charge induced on the plane is zero."

OK, well, attacking the fringiest speculations doesn't do the establishment any favors. The nut of the whole thing seems to be that humans were doing sophisticated things about 8000 years earlier than academia were telling us even 10 years ago.

Speculating on what was happening doesn't seem like something beyond the pale of reasonable discourse.

Interestingly, the same thing has been happening with reviews of products, although usually they are written by humans that are paid to write those (extremely biased, mostly deceitful) reviews. I mean, just look at many Amazon review comments... or even of commercial establishments on Google Maps and many other such places that accept user-generated reviews of commercial products.

> To me internet comments are almost on life support. Im curious if HN will have the same fate

I think I agree, in general.

I wonder what incentives someone could have for posting such comments on HN. I mean, it's clear that commercial products could benefit immensely from that (as they'd get a return on their investment), and also e.g. governments and political parties who might want to influence the public discourse about sensitive/political matters.

But why would anyone (who is not toxic already) use such a bot to post comments about technical topics, such as in discussions about programming languages, interesting bugs being discovered, open-source software being released, etc?

I'd expect the `copy_to_user` call to be inside `dev_read`, so that the userspace program can read the result with a further `read()` call, instead of mutating the buffer it gave to `write()` being mutated (that would probably not even work unless you used `write()` directly in your code instead of e.g. `fwrite()`).

Also as you noted, the logic related to handling `len` vs `sizeof(int)` is... curious.

While I find some ChatGPT examples impressive, this one isn't very enlightening. The block device structure and the factorial itself are fine, but those are likely in the training set as there are various tutorials online. But the combination of the factorial function into the block device is pretty awful (though I could imagine a novice doing it like this).

Both the OP and this driver kind of fit into this pattern, it looks like someone asked a novice programmer to do something using X and Y, so he read various few sample code and tutorials on X and Y and tries to put something together as best as it could, but the "plumbling" between X and Y (the part that wasn't in the tutorials) doesn't really work.
OWASP Top CI/CD Security Risks
I'm happy that OP is happy, but he points out to the most highly regarded model of the most beloved non-Apple laptop brand as a great alternative...

And while X series Thinkpads are solid workhorses with reliable warranty, this is not true. I'm not even talking about that Lenovo/the whole segment still doesn't have a competitor for the original M1 with battery life/performance. But due to old rotten deals they are only offered with Intel CPUs that have terrible thermals, throttling, and have shaky Arc GPU drivers. I can't even choose them with the better AMD options out of the already uncompetitive x86 options. There are other lines like the Yoga 7 Gen 7 (that is more aimed at the macbook crowd) but those lack the business features that would put them somewhat in line with value.

Most serious non-Apple laptop makers are in a Catch-22 with their lucrative Intel exclusivity contracts.
So you aren't an expert on the topic, you note the bias of the think tank, and therefore you choose not to read it, regardless of the expertise of the author. Despite not reading it, and not wanting to argue with internet strangers, you feel the need to warn other people of its supposed flaws. Got it.

It sounds like you are trying to make a bad-faith argument here and this absolutely is an ad hominem fallacy (regardless of how well you cloak it in Wittgenstein).

"Dr Who. This was the era of Tom Baker as the Doctor. Honestly, it was amazing. But there were other shows that were just plain goofy like The Goodies and Monkey. On the sci-fi front you had Blake's Seven, which was way ahead of its time in moral complexity. To this day, Avon is an amazing character."

Avon is indeed amazing. And it's no accident Terry Nation, the creator of Blake's Seven, was the author of what made Dr. Who a smash hit with his script for the second serial titled "The Daleks."

Just squeezing into the "1970s" in 1970 was ITC/ITV's UFO which was also great SF, I watched it a few years after in weekly syndication in the US. Didn't get a chance to watch the previously mentioned BBC shows until the 1980s.

You probably don't have anything to worry about in the short-term. It'll just be one adaptation after another.

For the problem we don't care how many instances of each letter occurs. We just need to know if there is 0 or 1 instance of a given letter. A set is a pretty good way to do this. Store a set of each "compartment", intersect the two sets, and you should have one value.

We can do the same thing except instead of a set we use an integer and set bits. a-z are bits 0-26 and A_Z are bits 27-52. We can set a bit with bitwise-or. We can intersect two masks with bitwise-and.

My code is probably a little too verbose. I'm not super familiar with python so I wasn't sure the best way to deal with characters and integers. But it's functional.
I disagree with Unions being included in the second group. Because their job is actually to make deals for the first group with the 2nd group. Their pay can only go up by negotiating better contracts for union card holders. I suspect if you got rid of them, teachers would get less of the pie than they currently hold.

In at least one place, this chart cites Newsweek to support the viability of a conspiracy theory. But Newsweek hasn't really existed since 2013; it was sold multiple times, ultimately ending up in the hands of a content farm run by a Korean Christian cult. Ironically, "Newsweek is a real news source" is itself a bit of a conspiracy theory.

I've seen more sentences that start with "Furthermore," in this thread than in any other thread I remember. It's certainly repetitive.
Hence my caveat regarding that “functional” and “practical” considerations. If maintaining a functioning social order isn’t the goal, and a bloody civil war is acceptable in pursuit moral ends, then obviously my point doesn’t apply.

Soros could appear on multiple levels of this chart. It's not an especially good chart! It's hamstrung in part by the conceit that a topic like "George Soros" could be disposed by placing it on a single point on the spectrum.

There are obviously a multitude of plainly anti-semitic conspiracy theories about Soros, and then there's the garden variety enmity figures like him attract from his political opponents.

Results of the APCS exam are not graded on a scale of 1 through 5, A through F, or pass/fail. So technically, there is no such thing as passing an APCS exam.

The free-response section is moderately subjective because each response is interpreted by an AP Reader who attempts to determine if the answer being read meets the College Board's criteria for correctness.

This would be really interesting if the response was transcribed, handwritten to a booklet, dropped into the middle of ten stacks, and read by the Readers. Ten Turing tests, ten interpretations, ten recommendations 1 thru 5.
Yes. Those road stations(michi no eki) are a very safe, free option to get some rest or sleep in your camper / car / truck.

Many, if not all, will also have clean public toilets available 24 hours, amazing local produce for sale, and, those Japanese vending machines with hot coffee(those are specially awesome after business hours). Some(very few) will also have a place to dispose of the camper waste.

Another tip: in a real pickle, if it is late and if you are very tired, and you can't find a campsite or road station, a Japanese convenience store will almost always have large parking for cars. They usually don't mind if you park for a couple of hours, specially if you buy some stuff from their store. Plus, they always have clean public toilets.
The authorities quoted in the article said whoever did it had a good understanding of the power grid and what they were doing.

I asked ChatGPT to solve a technical problem that I was having, and it invented code to accompany it. It mentioned a setting that would solve the problem instantly, and some documentation for it. The only problem was that the setting didn't exist, in the code or the doc link it "cited" it from.
