> As a negotiator aspiring to excellence, you must, at all costs, avoid showing need. In order to avoid showing need, you must never feel it. I cannot say this enough: You do not need this deal.

Isn't this a contradiction? Because why would someone be negotiating in the first place if they weren't needy in some sort of way? On top of this though, they care about the negotiation so much that they read this annoyingly long guide and obsess over "not showing need"

Isn't suffering through this guide itself a sign of neediness?

ChatGPT and LLMs in general look like a great extension to existing search. But it still needs somebody to keep an eye on it to ensure it's not confidently spouting bullshit. This looks like something that needs to be carefully controlled (read: regulated) if you want to avoid very serious consequences for unlucky patients.

One of the single language features that makes me stay with python is list comprehensions. So maybe something like that:

This, the way you can handle/manipulate strings and the powerful included libraries make python a good language.

I think many people base their entire impression of teslas based on these reports, which are at best incomplete truths/summaries.

Things that I can attest to (for HN folks who may be considering a Tesla):

1. Model Xs always have problems. The gull wing doors often have issues. It wouldn’t surprise me if this is bringing the rating of the entire brand down.

2. The first 6 months or so of production of any new model (not refreshed, just new) has been super sketchy. Tesla does not do this well. That said, they seem to clean it up relatively quickly, but imho it never should have happened in the first place.

3. Once they get past the initial production hiccups of a model, they seem to be very consistent. I had heard stories of Model Ys having build issues, so I accepted mine at the showroom rather than having it delivered. I had an 80-point or so build quality checklist that I told them I wanted to review. They said that they hadn’t seen build quality issues in “a long time” (this was in 2021, over a year after model y release), but they were fine with it. I found no issues. I think that this is fairly standard. Do they have Mercedes level of build quality? No. Do these flaws happen often enough that one should expect it in their new Tesla? Also no. I think that this is really overblown except for newly released models.

4. Regarding any sort of media/publication (perhaps not Consumer Reports, but I’m not sure), they know that they can get clicks/sales by bashing on Tesla, so I think that they often create sub-optimal testing conditions in order to guarantee a negative aspect of the review. As a simple example, I lost a lot of respect for top gear when they went on and on about how teslas aren’t good for race track driving due to the time a full charge lasts on a race track versus the time it takes to charge it to full. It was labored and disingenuous. Stock Teslas aren’t optimized for racing. Additionally, they could have charged up to 50-60% in a few minutes very easily. It really just took away from what could have been a much more interesting review if they had been more flexible (e.g., charging to a lower state of charge more often, like most owners do). All that said, there are some legitimate complaints to make, like some of the ones I mentioned above, but most of the click-bait pieces don’t really seem to hit the mark.

My suggestion to people is to take a test drive (at a minimum) before judging teslas. A lot of the negativity is overblown and/or misplaced, imho. The only way to know for sure is to see it for yourself.
Can you link to an example of such a contract? And besides, I thought the First Sale Doctrine meant that no matter what your contract said, once the book was sold that the copyright holder didn't have any say over that copy of it anymore.
Several weeks on-site vs years in a factory on the other side of the country. It’s a clear win. Marginal per launch cost is on the order of $15 million, including the price of a new upper stage. More full cost including GSE and amortization on the booster and fairing more like $25 million.

Novell and NetWare to me is an illustration of how tough it is to kill companies. Even today they get upwards of 500 million on NetWare revenue. We, in the tech field, are scored about new tech but it’s a great thing to see that most people look at tech as a tool, if it works why bother touching it? NetWare, works and works very well for a given task.

If gradient-descent in DNNs indeed has an intrinsic bias for short and simple solutions, like this paper https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.15191 shows, and if the "reasoning" is among the shortest solutions to match the textual data with the language modeling loss, then at some limit of model+data scaling the model has to recover this solution. Or maybe even something better, "reasoning++"?

It's all too easy to dismiss the success of infinitely plastic, scalable systems.
Airlines are not a cartel (controlling supply to keep prices high). If anything they're the opposite: high competition on a substitutable service has dropped prices. It is however a capital-intensive, highly regulated industry that provides daily miracles of flight.

We the people could push for laws preventing overbooking or providing better redress for missed transportation. However expect availability to decrease and prices to increase in response.

A little, you could imagine this being a framework and passport being a collection of libraries and less of a rigid framework.

I tried with an oncologist who uses GPT ~daily.

It frequently gives outdated answers that violate standard of care. No way to know which sentences are the wrong ones. The result is every fact must be searched again manually anyways. There is no time saving, and on its own, literally criminal advice.

She still uses it for tasks like rewriting emails for tone. But not anything to do with getting medical knowledge.

This should not be surprising to anyone who has used these. Tasks where users can self-validate and riff, like writing and coding, are great. But medical knowledge Q&A would need something like links back to current sources for every tidbit for it to be in this camp.

> Being done with someone after too many shitshows implies no black or white worldviews

“Being done” with anything, with no chance for reëvaluation, redemption or shading, is by definition black-and-white. That’s fine. Maintaining full color or even grayscale is hard work, and if we’re honest, we all simplify with stereotypes when topics don’t merit full attention.

But we shouldn’t do so blindly. And if we’re going to act on such a simplified worldview, e.g. by expressing a view on it, we should be able to take time and attention to look at the facts more stoically.
This seems generally right for a positive scenario.

One thing which they will need to complete before launching Starlinks V2 from Starship is launch a few from Falcon 9. They'll need some prototypes in orbit before they go into the kind of mass production they would want for Starship.
The HN guidelines say:

"On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic."

IMO one could justifiably say that it doesn't meet the "gratifies [hacker]'s intellectual curiosity" bar to be on-topic and runs afoul of the "crime" example in the off-topic guideline but ultimately the decision as to whether the story is sufficiently off topic to merit a flag is up to readers' personal judgement.
It also leads to the state censoring things, including on the internet. "Germany is a country where the Godwin's Law does not hold", as one of my friends once said.

It's definitely missing a "module" that humans have: something like an ability to know & admit when it's not certain about something. The way I think of it is: imagine if you constitutionally unable to ever admit that you didn't know something and you were forced to continue talking about that topic. You too would have no choice in this situation but to start spouting nonsense. Once we add this model of uncertainty, I think this type of problem will go away and it will say something like "I'm not sure but ...".

His bail terms specifically restrict him from doing transactions larger than $1,000 without government approval, so he is actually restricted from doing this.

I'm not sure I'd call that a footgun -- it's a fundamental property of relational algebra that relations are unordered.

That said, it's not universally true that subquery ordering is not propagated to the final result; in the absence of an ORDER BY clause, the query engine will return the results in whatever order is most convenient for execution. For example, this query:

select *, rank() over (partition by lastname order by firstname)
from employees;

will definitely return a result set ordered by lastname,firstname even though it's not explicitly specified (tested on MS' azure sql database).
I tend towards recommending python just because of that. I used to be a TA in an intro to programming course, and it's unbelievable the mess complete beginners can make when indentation isn't enforced, like in {} delimited languages.

but this essentially restricts the spread of the 'digital boon' (referring the the new possibilities afforded by this new technologies)

I'm trying to point out that this distinction (ownership as distinct from access) leads towards a capture of the digital advantage by people with better leverage.

moreover, I disagree that if I own a book I do not own the contents of it. the mindset that I don't seems too close to saying that I can know things (well understood learned concepts) but still somehow not own them.

This in my view is like a 'hook' which pulls towards the reality that somebody else owns the contents of my own mind, hence that I do not own that part of myself. I hope you see where I'm going with this and why I find your posture troubling.

> 48. “Sure, Frank, we’re on board. We want to place the biggest order ever with Acme—50, 000 widgets.”

> 49. Then, one or two calls later, “I didn’t even bring it up, Frank. It seemed unnecessary. I’m assuming about a twenty percent discount at that volume. Is that what you have in mind?” Never fall for the quick “yes.” Assume nothing. Avoid the emotional roller coaster. Don’t get needy. Don’t “chase the results” that seem to be shimmering so invitingly right in front of your eyes.

This is such an annoying negotiating tactic, though more common than asking for a large volume discount is springing things like net-90 (or longer) payment terms.

second this - I saw TCP/IP protocol running alongside other network protocols on Ethernet cables at that time. There was fierce business competition already; the technical media usually parroted the marketing leads from the various companies. Within technical academia (ivory tower) and close dot-mil (ARPA) they didn't make much of a public msg, so Byte Magazine readers didn't hear that terminology. Here in California, I never heard anyone say "Internet Protocol" in those days, not once.
Yea but as a food producer (also a coffee roaster) I also get payment terms from my suppliers. And it all kind of makes sense when you think we are all adding value and margin. The “loan” everyone is giving to the people later in the chain is the cost of production rather than the final sale price. So for a 100k order it might cost 50k to produce in cost of goods. That 50k to the suppliers is probably 35k etc.

> It’s basically a free short term loan from your suppliers...

Honest question: Is this really a free loan, or is it the cost of the load hidden (i.e. the interest charges are not broken out explicitly)?

For example, if a supplier has shipped goods with a wholesale prices of USD 100 to a retailer with a net 30 day payment term, I would assume that the USD 100 includes all of the costs associated with that USD 100, including the costs of "financing" that USD 100 for 30 days.

Edit: I've known many people who started freelancing and who forgot to include all of their costs when calculating their rates, especially costs for things like repayment terms. This seems like a very easily overlooked problem for most new businesses.

Banning “hate speech” without restricting political speech is prohibitively difficult because of the target’s inherent subjectivity.

That's the crux right. As soon as you decide that a certain kind of speech is "illegal", the goalposts shift to convincing others that speech you don't agree with falls in the illegal category. Even what seem like sensible categories like inciting to violence immediately get spun around and we get all sorts of things being called violence in order to try and suit political aims.

Like most rights, free speech isn't perfect, it's just the least bad alternative.
Not exactly unsupported. There are a bunch of papers showing a correlation between patterns of brain activation and weights activations inside an AI model when they are given the same task or stimuli. And this correlation increases with AI model accuracy. Doesn't that suggest that AI models are partly mimicking the same human reasoning pathways?
Happy to see the team moving in this direction. I've used NextAuth extensively and although it has some sharp edges, I feel like those sharp edges aren't unfixable.

Ash Framework: resource-oriented application development framework for Elixir
I have a hard time believing that our 'standards' constitute the major need for 2 salaries. A simple thought experiment seems sufficient to debunk this...

The average salary in CA is ~62k a year. To support a family of 4 (wife + 3 kids) you would need WAY more than $62k.

Even if you lived in the poorest neighborhood, and never bought frivolous things, you could still never support a family on that salary, and forget about buying a house.

In the 1950s you could support a family, buy a house, pay for healthcare, etc. It seems far more plausible to me that the purchasing power domestically of the dollar was effectively halved at some point in history.

Of course, you can do it that way as well. However the problem with promise approach is that it is introducing extra dynamic memory allocations beneath and these cannot be optimized out or elided. At least, not to my knowledge. With expression templates and operator overloading you're basically avoiding exactly that as much as possible.
I didn't mean it as the biggest success in terms of revenue or profit.
