Every time something like this is posted, the thread is littered with a dozen comments about how this should surprise no one, "water is wet", etc. News does not mean that journalists or the readers are shocked or even surprised. It's a new (or updated) piece of information. So yes, it's OK to have a discussion about it without the snarky comments.

How would your proposed solution solve the problem you outline in the first sentence? If the US bans data transfer outside of its jurisdiction then Apple, Microsoft, etc will stop cooperating with secret government data collection programs?

Good public transport is the ultimate freedom. Being able to go out for a few drinks without worrying about how to get home. No government-issued ID stuck to the box you move around in. No parking, insurance, dealerships, fines..
“Nobody watches sports ball in my bubble.”

Not everything needs to be put to a vote to know that it reflects what people want. Specific policies that are unpopular become campaign issues. For example despite being quite democrat leaning, Marylanders don’t like public transit, so Larry Hogan won two terms as a Republican promising to cancel transit projects and shift funding to highways. But if anyone proposed defunding the Baltimore Ravens they’d get booted out of office.

Also, even if that was true, there’s lots of public funding for cultural projects that probably wouldn’t fly if put to a ballot measure. The New York State Arts council has a budget of $90 million a year. The current Bills stadium is almost 50 years old. Even if the new Bills stadium lasts only 30 years, the arts council will receive almost $3 billion over that time. Which do you think would be more likely to pass in a ballot state wide ballot measure? $850 million for a stadium of $3 billion for arts?
That "Show your steps"-tipp is great, will try it out!
Any other tipps for getting more correct (I know that LLMs are essentially autocomplete) output?

Additionally: I wonder whether instructions like "think carefully" or "You are an software engineering interviewee at Google." change anything. It feels like a prime candidate for magic thinking, but I do not understand LLMs well enough, such prompts could well improve the answer somehow.
I find it problematic that so many people reject your opinion, in particular because I suspect they are probably downplaying the degree to which it parallels the way most Americans think about where they live, to one degree or another.

Your logic isn’t unsound, but it will increasingly come across as unreasonable because not everyone in the workforce has the option of finding employment and accommodation elsewhere.
I think avoiding industries where the government has arbitrary and capricious power is wise. But even in biotech you can use insight.

That was including those folks. HR departments are tiny, and increasingly automated. W2 is done by ADP or a similar system, same with billing alongside CFO oversight. My last group had one lawyer per 1000 engineers or so.
What is even more troubling to me is how an athlete can make 60 million dollars a year, and why tickets to games can cost $800 and up while our tax dollars subsidize it all... Back in the day there was a brutal revolution on taxing tea...

Now people are totally cool with student loans and mortgages indenturing our children for life while defense spending is astronomically higher than the moon.

Even mortgage interest deductions were gutted in the last 4 years.

I'm no revolutionary, and I painfully pay my fair share every year, but there is not much fair about taxes, and as usual it's always a costly lie to everyone that obeys the law/

Still, I would rather be doing what I want, the way I want it rather than spending my days paying lip service to who ever might be within earshot. To those that choose the hard path rather than the easy lucrative one, I salute you.

The Constitution disagrees; Art VI ¶ 2: This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

> Religion, the authority of parents/elders, finding a mate and building and supporting a family; these were powerful forces for hundreds of years and people snapped to them pretty reliably. Until the 60's.

Yup you’re not a historian and missing very much of the social development that happened for example, between 1850 and 1930. A lot of basic freedoms people don’t even think about when developed in these times.

An example of things not being the same is Christmas which was a drunken party in the Middle Ages through until mid 19th century and the modern family centered Christmas was basically created by Charles dickens with a Christmas Carol and still it wasn’ta widespread generally celebrated holiday until the post-WWII prosperity and class equality in the 1950s.

A lot of what you might think of as “things which were always like this” from the 50s was actually people seeking normalcy post war adopting conservative “traditional” lifestyles which were actually quite different than the past.
Sincere question: Do cities really need stadiums?

A stadium was built in my city several years ago, and for me it has occasionally caused a moderate inconvenience, and had no upside. Some of my neighbors really like it, though.
> I'm not on the red or blue team.

Careful, I have said the same and many assumed it meant I'm far right. The extent of my conservative beliefs are wanting very small government, being anti-war, and wanting a balanced budget. I'm pretty egalitarian otherwise but I don't think that's enough to appease those who invest their lives in identity politics.
tbf, it's not "my" idea, there are just a couple of NFT-based ticket sales startups that exist and I am aware of them.

The main benefit I would see from the venue's perspective is in both scalping prevention and achieving price equilibrium with less effort, because smart contracts can allow a rake to be collected on each resale of a ticket. Beyond that, while this use case doesn't appeal to me, I know of people who've collected scrapbooks of concert tickets, but the NFTs of the tickets are a collectible item (to whatever extent someone deems a digital asset "collectible") and can be potential collected in a digital scrapbook as either social proof or memoria.

That said, there's nothing in my view that mandates that the central authority doesn't own the whole thing. You can own the whole thing, either on your own token, or as a non-blockchain product altogether -- or not at all, but there are existing tools and technologies that allow for easier on-ramps than building it yourself and I think most venues don't particularly care what the technology is or that it's NFTs or that it's blockchain, so I don't know of any reason that a blockchain based offering couldn't find itself competitive in the marketplace unless their sales pitch is exclusively that.
Why does everyone blame the administrators as if students play no part? Inclusion, diversity, and psychological safety are strong values with the current generation of college students (gen z) and are building upon ideas from previous generations (millennials).

The parents of millennials (boomers) have been lamenting their creation for years already.

America created and raised these children and now seems to have some remorse about it, and history continues to repeat itself.

Maybe the dominant culture is leaving some folks behind.
If ChatGPT has a hard time adapting to what you're asking, you're most likely doing a poor job of explaining and giving feedback. You can give it hints and corrections, and it will generally use those corrections going forward.

Why would you trick it into contradicting itself? Would you ever attempt to trick and leave your coworker in a confused state? The correct way to use ChatGPT is to collaborate. You give it inputs, it gives you outputs, and you both work together to achieve a goal. If you want it to act like an authoritative AI you can actually tell it to act like one and ignore your own prompts and corrections.
On the very off-chance that a visitor here doesn't know, one can search Firefox tabs by starting with a "%" and a space, and then starting to type a value within the tab you wish to switch to.
Ah, we both went on a tangent. The password in question is to the twitterer's LastPass vault, and so a precomputed hash list would be of no use, and since it's an encryption key and not a hash, there is nothing to salt.

I suppose the point was more that faced with many users' LastPass vaults there are more likely and less likely keys -- but they'll still have to try the keys.
Ask HN: What would you learn if you would have three to six months free time?

Without context, maybe. But we have the context here, and so even if you pretend there is an actively used other sense it's patently obvious that the term is used in the "evil leftist world-conspiracy" sense.
>How does one cite a blog in a publication

Depends on the publication and the style guide they use. The ones I’m most familiar with are MLA & APA and they both have formats for how they want blogs cited.

I’m not sure how a blog would make the leap into being indexed as part of Google scholar though, unless it was first cited in a more traditional academic paper that fell into their domain.
The more administrators will be hired part reminds me of a poster at my dads work back in the 1970's. It read.

'Adding more engineers to a project that's in trouble is like using gasoline to put out a fire'

Off hand it feels like the issue here is the universities idea is the committees jobs is to ensure the students party responsibly without taking on any actual responsibility themselves.
It's weird seeing the left take a turn for the puritanical. It used to be seen as an exclusive domain of the religious right.
Many people can't drive and are always passengers. But now they'll be able to travel alone. The people who would have been their drivers can go somewhere else at the same time. Unless the cars are always at capacity, it could mean more cars on the road.
Wouldn’t they provide the best impact as relief works or as logistical sponsors? It’s not like Ukraine is short on bodies, it needs food, guns and logistics, most of your friends would have had a greater impact by providing that.

> a ridiculous claim about the capabilities of bootcamp grads

Having met many of these grads, and lived through that phase of hiring, I think it's a lot less ridiculous if you imagine the early bootcamp grads from my friends program as someone who's e.g. a senior mechanical engineer with a degree from good university.

These people have strong technical and soft skills and were unusual at the time in that they were already productive in stacks that companies were using.

By 2015, you couldn't fill a bootcamp with these kinds of people, so graduate quality is dropping at the same time that universities up their game and start including classes that teach some basic SWE skills.

I don't think we actually disagree that the value-add was never that great as the program mostly only helpful to people who already had most of the skills necessary to be a good engineer.
My guy, your tone and your insistence on the laziness and self-sabotaging tendencies of the poor would lend one to believe that you’re not being entirely altruistic. But fine, benefit of the doubt granted.

Of course it’s possible to eat healthily when poor, and I can appreciate your suggestions, but your example itself has demonstrated that it’s time-consuming and logistically difficult. It’s very fortunate that your family had the money and space to be able to buy in bulk, but you must recognize that this isn’t an option for everyone, especially on a strict budget. It’s also fortunate that your family lived close to orchards and had the space and free time to spend canning foods for later.

Please try to imagine how your solutions would be accomplished by someone who was already struggling with some of the other problems of being poor, such as lack of access to childcare, transportation, and/or medical care. It’s not impossible to manage all these things, but even with the suggestions you’ve provided, it’s another drain on one’s time and energy. Nobody wants that for their friends/family.

Zenni is legit though: quick, cheap, and passable quality. I tell everyone about them too. Weird that your friend didn’t decide to use them. I wonder if her optometrist warned her against the competition?

I said "laws" specifically so the ambiguity you are using would not exist.
Interpreting a Sierpinski Triangle Fractal as musical notes sounds good
That's the thing, the Baratza Encore is decidedly not a Cadillac product. It is an entry level grinder.

It's just not a "grinder shaped object"
In some sense fast food is American culture as well but I don't see much benefit in using tax money to preserve that culture.

What I am trying to say is that "culture", native or not, does not necessarily have anything to do with public dollars. That totally depends on the context (history, popularity and otherwise) and can be political. e.g. In the US, performing arts organizations receive very little to no public funding. (In fact, one such funding almost got cut in 2017 in Trump's tax bill.)
Reading this sound very promising, but i can't stop thinking "Where is the catch?". I would love to trust this project and believe in the good, but looking at the companies that are overture members doesn't help at all.
Managing the dispatch of our delivery drivers and monitoring our infra over the holidays.

Tridactyl is awesome! There are also many similar plugins for different web browsers and text editors: https://github.com/acejump/AceJump#comparison
I asked it a bunch of gibberish words and it got them all correct.
I suppose some of that is supported by microformats.

The rest is supported by Google Maps and Apple Maps, where businesses can submit their location, hours, etc, and do that ASA matter of course.

The predominant pattern for a customer is to use a (really the) search engine, feed it the name of the business, and see the details in a snippet, or jump to a (really one if two) maps app.

I don't see what would be the upside for Google and Apple to interpret such files, instead of forcing business owners register with their sites, prove identity, contact info, etc, and keep them within their silo along the way :-(
With it being referred to as a physics problem, I thought they were foreshadowing ChatGPT responding that the amount of work done being zero.

I don't know how ChatGPT works, but it often feels like it is making inferences from data and those inferences are reasonable sounding but ultimately incorrect. In this case, it would be conflating work with workout. In one of my experiments, I was asking it about something in a children's book. ChatGPT ended up mixing up something that happened early in the story with something that happened at the end of the story, even though they were unrelated.
Most, but not all. The Chase Center got no public money [1].

I found it really good at counting. I asked it to count the number of nouns, adverbs, and adjectives in the lyrics of a song, and it got it 100% right.

Of course it understands letters or characters. You can ask it for a list of possible tokenization of a word and it will list them out. You can then refer to this list and refer to different tokens of the word and it will correctly modify the word according to the token. The trick is that you need to emphasize the idea of a token into its current context. That will make the concept relevant for your current prompt.

You have to nudge it in the direction you want, don't assume it always knows what you are talking about.
Google is indirectly encouraging marketers to promote structured data / schema that specifically spells out these details.

In the near future I predict an AI like GPT 3 could interpret unstructured screenshots of websites to answer queries like "what hours are they open"
I watch sports ball and I don’t want the team defunded but I don’t want my taxes paying for the construction of a new stadium; the revenues of which won’t be going back to the city.
I posted a longer variant of this to friends on Facebook, but please remember a saying that social media merely shows people's "highlight reels", not their day-to-day life.

More than ever, people are struggling. Please do not attribute any weakness or negative quality to yourself if you are struggling yourself - you are among millions.

And do not feel there's necessarily any strength in "keeping it to yourself." Many people are letting that build to unsustainable levels inside themselves. Be honest with a friend that you are struggling. If, for the moment, you are without friends, you will find that there are anonymous people who do care about you on Discords, chat rooms.

Or on the end of a hotline. You don't necessarily have to have active plans of suicide to call a suicide hotline. A lot of the time, some people who kill themselves have deep apathy about life right up until a moment.

I'll be honest that I am one of those struggling. I am not actively suicidal - I may possibly have some passive suicidal ideation (certainly the apathy and some lack of emotion) - but I am fortunate enough to have a good therapist. It is merely that I've lost a lot of people and gone through a tremendous amount of difficult change in the last year.

My maxim in life has been this: at the worst of times, just take the next step forward. That's all you have to worry about, that one next step. They build up.

Good luck to everyone here in 2023 with those challenges you find yourself facing. Don't feel as if you are excluded from the human race by your struggles. You are facing variants of what we are all facing.
I was thinking this same thing.

We might want one, but we don't need one. If we needed one someone would build one, same as we build restaurants, bars, refineries, breweries, manufacturing, etc without any subsidies from the gov.

I would love one for my small business, on a related note, I can't even count the times I have watched my city give millions in tax breaks to bring in already successful, wealthy, large businesses and give the local ones jack shi.
I don't think anyone is proposing to installed another 8 million people in Mendocino. Places like San Francisco and the East Bay have tons of water rights because they were originally outfitted for tens of millions of residents before being suddenly down-zoned around 1970. The East Bay Municipal Utilities District currently serves less demand for water than it did in 1980 because of systemic efficiency improvements, despite the fact that the served population increased 50% since then.

Also, there is the small fact that apartment dwellers use a tiny fraction of the water of people who live in detached houses.

In short, there is plenty of water in various major metropolitan areas.
The notion that capitalists prefer free markets is nothing more than a children's story, right up there with Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. They're not lobbying Washington to ensure there is healthy competition in their industry.
That’s a nice gesture; hopefully you can keep it up!

I once worked at a place that tried to always give close the office two extra days during that span. As long as Christmas wasn’t a Wednesday, they always made it such that you had an extra long weekend twice in a row, and announced it in early November so people could plan well enough in advance.

They also, for planning purposes, assumed that there were only 11 months in a year. That is, each person was only expected to do one full month of work total in Nov and Dec. it gave people time to catch up, work on tech debt, learn something, experiment with something, shop, take vacation, etc. I’d say that more often than not it was overall more productive.
Again: there's no "sports ball" denigration.

I like watching men in leotards fly around a track on their bicycles, but I haven't asked my municipality to pay for my personal athletic boondoggle. It's not clear to me why my tax dollars should subsidize others' athletic boondoggles either, especially when they come in the form of privately-owned teams, stadiums, etc. I'd perhaps feel less strongly about this if the state retained ownership of their investment, but that's not the deal in any case that I've seen so far.
The question isn't one of "can" and "can't". The west is empowered to make its own people worse off. The politicians do so all the time.

The issue is we've got a situation with a high quality Chinese option and lower quality western one. Obviously Westerners will be worse off if the high quality option is banned. They all wanted to use that one (otherwise it wouldn't be necessary to ban it). It is obviously making them pick an option they'd rather not.

There is no economic reason to voluntarily make people worse off. It is pure downside.

> Same as anti-dumping import taxes.

They're also on shaky footing and probably make people worse off for little gain. Wikipedia humorously notes that in the EU 98% of the time anti dumping laws are being used to target things other than dumping.

Academics have to be pretty wild-eyed to argue that people need to be protected from large amounts of cheap stuff. I personally can't even imagine their horror. If someone sells you stuff for cheap, buy it for cheap. The market will work it out.
