Never. Complementary regulations (varies by location and industry) define methods and procedures, validations and control, based on statistics where necessary, for assuring an accceptable level of risk of failure (never zero but very very small) in balance of resource use. Errors might be introduced in any stage of realization of an engineering product from concept to delivery (including calculation errors, misuse of methods and tools, etc.) but we could prepare for know - and to some extent unknown - sources of trouble implementing assurances and validations, approvals and checkups, coupled with criminal accountibility. What comes out of a FEA software (which could have bugs, which could have been misused, using wrong data, etc.) will never be realized without scrutiny. Even the scrutiny and validation methods can have errors in it so redundancy is expected but straight delivery of FEA calculations (actually any stage of the process) into production without checks can be considered as criminal neglect (of which is impossible to eliminate like any other crime).

I'm immensely skeptical of anything self-reported. I don't want to invalidate other's feelings, but we constantly hallucinate firm, certain seeming memories and emotions into existence with barely any suggestion. Unless you double blind test HRT there is no way of knowing if it is not entirely socially conditioned. Trans women don't have the same hormonal cycles as women, and I don't thing there's anything inherently feminine about knitting.
If you dehumanize an enemy, you can do anything to them without any moral consequences. Even genocide may be permissible if the enemy isn't human. It could even be virtuous.
Definitely not. But it's not just only optimizing for life, it's having flexible and reliable transportation while making sure as few injuries happen as possible in the process.

Motor travel let us distribute food, medicine, and specialized labor that would otherwise be impossible/impractical to do.

Sure you can argue that's not worth the non zero number of lives lost in the process, but we wouldn't be able to live the modern lifestyles we have today without it.

How are you with the Layer 8 issues? I find in large organizations, that wildcards who can effectively relate and communicate, either directly or through an intermediary, with DRIs whose organizations they depend on, will succeed. The reason is that when a generalist/wildcard/"tiger team" is introduced to a mature organization that has specialized, the reason usually is that there is something not working as desired with the system as a whole, a system that significant investment has been placed into. and that takes as much human as technical finesse to unravel. If you're good at that, I can imagine you've done well. But effective communication is not a common trait among wildcards I've known. Most have been protected by excellent managers.
Is it though? I personally prefer local development and test out my code instantly, especially when internet is flaky. Once you have confidence in your code, you train it in the cloud.
Same here in Eastern Europe.

I was on a contract in Switzerland in 2020 and while the pay was awesome, it wasn't sustainable - permanent employees in the same company make around 2-2.5x of what I do back home, but the cost of living (especially real estate) is 3-4x, so I have no incentive to migrate there.

I mean, Switzerland is nice, just not that nice when you're an immigrant.

I don't recall anyone from my former team staying either, despite getting job offers.

I used to study Persian and due to the nature of my degree I met a bunch of people working in the military during the war in Afghanistan. If there's a war, there's always a queue of "entrepreneurs" coming from the invading country trying to push whatever snake oil they have under the disguise of help. Some of them believed that the solutions they had would work, sometimes because of their ignorance, then because hypocrisy stings less if you mix it with myopia.

I don't think that the people running this startup are in any way different. You might wanna dress it up as being brave enough to break the rules, but ultimately it's just hubris, a sense of entitlement and greed.

Sadly true. I was planning on buying the new AirPods Pro’s as the rumor mill was saying they’d be USB-C, but alas they are still lightning. Weirdly enough the new AppleTV 4K remote is USB-C (both were released at the same time). I guess it makes sense to keep the AirPods on lightning as long as the iPhone is. Hopefully if the iPhone 15 is USB-C they will release a new version of the AirPods with USB-C, too.

Until then I’m sticking with my 8 euro Xiaomi Bluetooth earbuds.

Your great-granddaddy sounds like a very smart man.

I think this phrase speaks volumes about the value of these folks (and not just in the startup world).

Even in large companies there are opportunities for improvement everywhere. Once we identify something of interest, wildcards are the folks I can rely on to help prove things out. They are versatile, autonomous and comfortable with ambiguity.

Once the system is up and rolling, it’s time to put in the maintainers and move on. That’s pretty much the game.

The trick, in a big company, is the opportunities usually lie in someone else’s “territory”. Relationships become hugely important, something I’m sure your great-granddaddy had no trouble with :)
Hey maybe we should make some laws against companies dumping gases into the atmosphere...
The whole outrage around this company is the very topic of the novel. It's a bit of a crazy plot and it artificially compresses the timeline a bit. But is not actually that far off the mark in terms of the urgency and the level of desperation that might cause some countries to act sooner than later. Or the violence that that might provoke.

So, the ending of the book is a bit open ended. But it's a "the cat is out of the bag" type ending as well. As in, since we're trying this anyway and it seems to be working, multiple countries start replicating the effort and people move on. By the end of the book, there are multiple countries doing this. And they would be the countries most affected by the consequences of global warming.

There are a few zones in the world where billions of people live that are going to be ground zero for any such effects that are also booming economies. Basically, much of Africa, China, India, etc. And indeed parts of the US with some extremely high value real estate on some of its coastal areas (like Houston, as the book speculates). So, the notion that these people in these economies are just going to sit there fiddling their thumbs until their economies collapse under the effects of global warming is unlikely. When something plausible comes along that works or might work, they'll support it. And some will start acting pro-actively. And others will counter act. It might get ugly.

I think the book mostly got this right and we'll see this play out in slow motion in the next few decades.

> It’s a real shame that people get so bent out of shape about trans people.

Well, there’s now a conflict of rights between sex-based and gender-based identities.

When you say “It’s truly amazing and wonderful that we can do this,” you’re expressing a kind of euphoria [1] over becoming more feminine, but to many female people being feminine isn’t particularly what they want to be or to them what makes someone a woman - a woman is just an individual who happens to be female.

[1] “the experience of pleasure or excitement and intense feelings of well-being and happiness”.

I’ve no problem with people who wish to live in what’s called ‘a gender non-conforming way’ but I do have issue with the view that (for example) “To be identified as woman one must conform to one of a subset of appropriate genders”.

Here’s a thought experiment - if typical female people started behaving more like your father, brother, uncle etc now act - if as a social change the ‘gender’ associated with females became masculine - would you still identify as a woman?
Ask HN: How to prevent abuse of open GPT-3 endpoint?
Hey HN,

I'm building a web app that has an API endpoint that basically just calls GPT-3. I make ajax calls to the endpoint from the web app (all running on the same domain). The basic app is freely usable by unregistered users. What's the best way to prevent abuse?

I'm currently limiting calls per IP, but have recently noticed one user is generating endless new IPv6 addresses to get around the restrictions.

I thought about using invisible captcha or something, but obviously that doesn't work if they can just hit the /api/blah url. Should I be using cloudflare or something like that?

Any help or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!
That won't help you understand the mechanism. The reason the first digit of a binary number is 1 is just the anthropic principle. ("You can only observe things that exist.") That same observation will tell you that, just as the first nonzero digit of a binary number is zero 0% of the time, the first nonzero digit of a decimal number is zero 0% of the time. That is what it means to be a nonzero digit! But it won't tell you anything about why one possible digit might be more or less frequent than another possible digit.

The mechanism is just multiplication. Suppose you have a quantity that increases by 20% every period. (Doesn't matter what the period is.) Let's start the quantity at 4 times 10 to the power of irrelevant. We'll consider the leading digit every period:

4
4
5
6
8
9
1
1
1
2
2
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
1
1
1
1
2
2
3
3
...

As you can see, we spend a lot more time with the amount of stuff we have being led by a 1 than we do with it being led by any other digit. Having our growth rate be less than one makes this easy to see by causing similar leading digits to occur next to each other, but the result will be the same for any growth rate.

(You can see that it will be the same for any growth rate by considering that you can always match the observations of a system with the same observation period and a different growth rate by instead imagining a system with the same growth rate and a different observation period. But varying the observation period doesn't change the amount of time spent in any given quantity range.)

The US has by far the most foreign born residents of any country, and is always in the top 2 or 3 countries accepting immigrants every year! So, if you're going to measure the cruelness of a country by the immigrants they take in, the US would fair well on that scale.

I mean basically everyone I know is either a first, second, or third gen immigrant.

I moved from the US to a northern European country. Taxes are high, but not as high as taxes + health insurance premiums + copay was in the US.

And I can tell you this: If I were to have children, they are going to have plenty more opportunity here than they would if I still lived in the US. Even if they are poor, they are likely to have food, housing, and medical care.

If you lack things like food, housing, and medical care, moving to the US might seem like a viable option, though.
> Enough with this 'emulating a PDP-11' cliche (never seen it quoted as the PDP-7 before).

That's not a "cliche". It's the reality how computers work today.

Internally they're data-flow machines since quite some time. But they need to emulate a command stream machine (which did not change fundamentally since the time of the PDP-7!) to the outside world.

> Explicit instruction-level parallelism has its own issues that make it difficult to use effectively, precisely because it must do statically what out-of-order processors do dynamically.

That's why nobody here ever talked about "explicit instruction-level parallelism"…

> The use of C as a scapegoat is odd.

No it isn't, as the success of C is the root of all evil in this case.

> What alternatives would have led to a different world of processors? Pascal? PL/I?

No, of course not. Because Pascal or PL/I are of course also "just C" (with some minor, and regarding this consideration here, completely irrelevant differences).

> Experiments in parallelism at the time […]

Are irrelevant.

The topic is: How would things look like if we would start over with all what we know now, and with our current technical capabilities.

> the kind of instruction-level parallelism this line of argument calls for.

At least I have talked explicitly about data-flow (and nothing else)!

Imho the whole command stream based approach is a dead end.

Dynamically reconfigurable data-flow hardware (with local scratch memory instead of RAM) is imho the answer.

But of course it's almost impossible to compile sequential command streams (aka. "imperative programs", which is synonym to C and all languages that work the same, so actually almost all languages in existence) into anything that could be efficiently executed on such data-flow hardware. That's why you would need to "rewrite the world" form scratch to get any benefits from finally sane hardware (instead of the expected degradation in case you would try to map our current sequential command streams into this new world).
Any material that "gets more conductive as you heat it up" is a semiconductor, unless its conductivity remains negligible, in which case it is an insulator.

Not all semiconductors "get more conductive as you heat them up". A counterexample is provided by heavily doped semiconductors.
I think Sudan, Egypt, and Libya would be contenders. I suppose there's probably a general principle at work that if your country's borders were decided not by geographical or cultural boundaries but rather by an occupying bureaucracy, then there's a high probability of squareness.

Or if your territory is made up partially of land the ownership of which isn't a pressing concern for anyone because it doesn't support a population and has few resources.

The western part of the boundary between U.S. and Canada is unusually straight, but I suppose that was an expedient agreement at a time when neither side wanted to go to war over it. Not that relations were totally peaceful or friendly.
I can't comment on welfare etc but the healthcare system is good. I've had mostly good experiences. Probably the worst part is getting a GP.
Given that, why do so few people live there? It has one of the lowest number of people per dollar of GDP in the world.
As someone who would describe himself as not an excessive drinker but also far from abstinent these numbers are quite interesting.

> On average, the number of days on which they drank fell from 4.3 days per week before the challenge to 3.3 days per week a half-year later. The amount that they drank on each occasion fell and they got drunk less frequently.

> Before Dry January, they got drunk an average of 3.4 times per month. But by the following August that figure had fallen to 2.1 times per month.

I don't think I remember any time where I got drunk an average of 3 times per month (I'd say 1-2 at most, so the average would be around 1). Since Covid started and I stopped going out to every possible event I'd say I'm averaging 1 beer per week, so 0-2 evenings of at least one drink.

I've done a ton of reading and personal experimentation on this topic and I think your account was fairly spot on honestly.

Higher levels of estrogen do generally make emotions feel more intense and lower levels of testosterone generally would make someone less likely to engage in a conflict.

Hormones don't really change your core personality though. I dbout someone would become less interested in something like tech because of a change in hormone levels. However, you might be more likely to pursue emotionally fulfilling careers and hobbies in the future, and I think in arrogate this could be what accounts for some of the sex differences we see in male / female career paths. As you mentioned, estrogen make emotions more intense and it seems likely to me that this might in part explain why women seem to enjoy social careers more - perhaps because they provide more emotional stimulus.

Neonatal levels of hormones probably have a larger role in shaping our core personalities though. One example of this would autism spectrum disorders which tends to make people more interested in "things". There is now some evidence that autism is a product of irregular hormones levels during development.

Worth noting, “discipline” issues are pretty serious and schools are disempowered from doing anything.

Issues of “indoctrination” aside, I find the rampant bad behavior and lack of action far more concerning. I’ve been concussed from random assaults circa 2010 with no action being taken. Students with slap-on-the-wrist punishments for serious crimes being allows to commingle with legitimate students is an affront to reason.

Here recently, a friends daughter attempted suicide. She and several other girls were sexually assaulted by a pair of recurring criminals predating upon students. Guidance counselors swept it under the rug in spite of “mandatory reporter” laws. Only on the fourth assault we’re they finally held accountable.

Why would I want to send my kids to a place where this is normal and acceptable?

>IQ in children is a lot more reflective of environment / happenstance

Yes, this study goes about measuring it instead of just shrugging their shoulders like your statement is.

It is correlating three variables (predictors) against IQ (the outcome variable). That is, they find that genetics, schooling, and SES all independently influence a child's IQ test score. But that school does not make the gap caused by genetics or SES better or worse.

This is a problem with all transliterated languages.

It’s worse for Arabs because until modern times they didn’t have “conventional” surnames. Their name was a composition of a given name plus that of their forefathers’, often appended with “Abu” (meaning father in Arabic), and sometimes the addition of a clan name. In my ancestral home of Egypt, the government often standardized everyone about 100-150 years ago with whatever names they were carrying at the time.

So you could be completely unrelated to someone and have a partially matching last name.

Combine that with America’s gleefully racist views of Arabs - particularly after 9/11 - and you have a recipe for disaster with no-fly lists.
As is driving any ICE vehicle. People are very selective with their outrage. They'll rage against this and then buy a pointlessly large SUV because they like the sound it makes, or something.

I have driven ICE cars of course and without guilt even. So, don't get me wrong here. Just pointing out that it's irrational to go fuming at one thing without doing it for the other thing. If you own or drive a car, you are a part of the problem. We all are.
