Words simply have more meaning than their denotive meaning. No one (as in really, no one) does not believe that. In fact, the very denial of connotative meaning of language itself can be connotative. You must understand the context of speech to understand it. There are countless examples, from the benign to the political. Here's a benign one:

It is raining.

It is a dog.

What is "it" in both sentences, does it denote the same thing? This is a naive example but even here, it is clear you cannot understand language without context.

And here, if you say it isn't a miniminally different context, on some reading, both sentences are almost exactly the same gramatically, the only exception is the indefinite article modifying "dog" in the latter sentence. Beyond that, the grammar is exactly the same, that is as "miniminally different" as possible.
YouTube is actively harmful to children, it’s full of crap content, endless ads and the algorithm takes you to the darkest pits in no time at all. You like paw patrol? How about some videos of the pups killing each other? And kids love candy (brain candy) even if it is of no nutritional value - at this age they don’t know better.

We found that no amount of supervision or curation by adults keeps the child completely away from this harmful content. And the YouTube Kids thing is not offered in our region. For us the only solution was to ban YouTube entirely and it’s one of the best decisions we ever made.
Inoculation against the downsides of socmed is impossible without exposure. Given that we discuss this on socmed, it would be purely hypocritical to argue here that any access is giving in to addiction - unless you believe us no better than meth addicts fighting in the street?
Agreed; I've always suspected the HTML table layout was taken from print, where layout is done once (and latency doesn't really matter).

Well this isn’t good. I’m leading an effort to move some of our services and about a hundred domains over to Cloudflare.

Given all of this I think we’re going to have to push pause and see how this shakes out.
There isn’t a practical way to fractionate their revenue or determine what proportion of their profit is derived from your data. This can be proved by the fact that there is no way to make any money with only the data you gave to them separated from the rest of their customers and potential customers. Therefore you are entitled to all of their revenue. Please clean out their shareholders and destroy their business. They deserve this for not cooperating with you. It would be very low cost or low effort to correct their mistake and they are choosing not to because it is easier.
Nah that’s different. For humans it was an effect of might is right. Slavery was there for cheap labor. It still had a cost since you had to feed them. And many times slaves bought them selves out of slavery.

Today you still have slaves as well, they are just called low income workers in third world countries who make the technology we use in the west. Because if a company is earning billions in revenue, paying a worker $10 a day is cheaper than a slave master in roman times feeding them food ;)

And workers today only have the illusion of choice, since the economy is the master today.
The idea is just great. Keep in mind what people expect from this type of website (and clear up any misconceptions), as this may lead to unnecessary churn. I would like to see some degree of customizability, e.g. weighting of features or something like that. (Nitpick: wrap the play svgs in a button tag like the "similar" button)

Sure, sure, luck. But the difference between getting a great hand and playing it right or wrong is not luck.

Some people want to conflate it. Don't let them.

Don't let them compare the trust-fund kid who built a business to the non-trust-fund kid who didn't build a business.

Compare them to the trust-fund kid who didn't even try to build anything and ended up writing sad opinion pieces against the unfairness of it all.

The mechanism - neutron flux from the first bomb pushing the second into criticality - seems plausible.

What a great way to shut down disagreeing views. Let’s try using it in the opposite direction.

“Acknowledging the importance of hard work and personal responsibility is threatening to the lazy.”

“Whoa, look at how many lazy people there are.”
that is not chevy's problem its LG
If you really want to get your mind blown: We've never used a tablet just because a kid is bored.

Children need to be able to handle boredom. If you need to hand over your phone to your toddler just to keep them calm, you've got some work to do.

The amount of kids in strollers with a parent's phone in hand is just staggering. Or a tablet in the headrest for watching shows on any car trip over 15 minutes.
I stopped reading after the passage “and works independently [to achieve AGI]”. In my book, it’s impossible to achieve such breakthrough by working alone, regardless who the man/woman is.
Yeah, I was wondering how his kind of arrangement could work if one needed or wanted to take weeks/months off at a time. The traditional model based on features or projects might be a better fit, unless one partners with others as you describe.

Maybe they booted you because your business model is to use Cloudflare to repeatedly and aggressively scrape data from cryptocurrency exchanges and then resell it for hundreds of dollars a month.

Sounds like an abuse of their terms of service to me.
Not all advice applies all the time.

I think what you're talking about here "stand up for what you believe in" is maybe a position you should take with others.

While "kill your darlings" is a devil's advocate position you should take with yourself when you don't have someone giving you constructive criticism.
I tried to create a Twitter account for my new startup a couple of days ago. Wanted a business account to promote my app and get feedback from users. But it was simply impossible. The signup didn’t work. I gave up and went with Instagram instead. Much better experience. And I’ve already spent a big pot of money there on ads. Very happy with it.

No, it’s not instant. As a matter of fact it starts with a click, then another, then another, and before you know it you’ve lost an hour just doom-scrolling low-intelligence content.
> Learning and remembering things outside the 2048 token context window

It is probably possible to do this with fine tuning.

Once the context window is full, it might be possible to convert the content in there into additional training examples and feed those to a fine tuning process, which then retrains the model. (The OpenAI API for fine tuning is here: https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/fine-tuning)

It would be a bit like sleeping. Whenever the context window fills up, the model would have to go offline for a while to move memories from its context window (short term) to its network weights (long term).
Maybe you're right, but I think both are hard enough that people who are smart enough to do one can do the other if they really want :)

By the way AST manipulation is easy, the really hard part of refactoring (that I had a lot of problem with) is creating the lifetime annotations, which requires a deep understanding of the type system.

I was trying to learn some type theory and read papers to understand how Rust's life times work, but only found long research papers that don't even do the same thing as Rust.

I haven't found any documentation that documents exactly when a function call is accepted by the lifetime checker (borrow checking is easy).
Might want to check mobile.
There are multiple competing authorities, but they are absolutely authorities, and their versions of individual texts are extremely close to each other.

Most notably, for the actual list of books there's the Catholic Church for the Catholic canon; the Masoretes for Judaism; Synods for the Greek Orthodox canon; and a broad consensus in the Protestant community.

For the texts themselves, the Septuagint and the Masoretic text are the only game in town for the Hebrew Bible, while the Greek texts of the New Testament were very firmly set in stone by the Imperial Roman Church (as central of an authority as it gets).

Note that some of these authorities (the Masoretes, the Imperial Roman Church) do not exist anymore. THat just means that canon is unchangeable, it still exists.

I dunno, "10 quintillion dollars" kind of assumes that market prices would not drop in response to vastly increased supply, doesn't it ?
FWIW, if my memory is in any way accurate, 10 y.o. is about the age I stopped discussing a class of topics with my parent, after one too many times of me wanting to share something important and feeling ignored. My parents lost a window into a chunk of my life then, and honestly, never really regained to this day.

It sounds stupid even to me now, but it's really not easy to fix such things at the age of 30+. Those emotional wounds were deep, even if in retrospect silly and unintentional. Deep enough to change how the 10 y.o. me saw himself in relation to the world. And I only first realized what happened around 18-20 y.o., by which time I was well used to never fully opening up in front of my family. It's like a "default setting" burned into the wetware at this point - something I have to consciously struggle to overcome even to this day.

So yeah, it's likely a disconnected parent, not deceptive child. But "disconnected" tends to imply the parent doesn't care, which I don't think is the case either. Rather, like in my experience, the parent may care very much, but not achieve anything, because the connection has been severed, possibly accidentally, and neither the parent nor the kid are fully aware they've lost that link.
Not a big surprise given they think HN threads are an acceptable form of customer support for paying customers.
Drug-resistant germ found in eye drops infects 55 in 12 states; 1 dead
Agreed, while there are tons of spambots, they are likely scraping Web API and using some backdoor-ish thing to get around requirements than using the documented API.

This announcement and today's ban-wave that followed seemed like someone not accustomed to Twitter just knew there are bots, and thought it to be workable idea to sample global timeline and script ban duplicates, which of course is not workable at all and only maximize harm on real users.

No access to banking is not the same thing as not having the reserves. If there was this massive shortfall/scam that you are alleging, those press releases would have spared no details in describing them.

>>> As found in the order, Tether held sufficient fiat reserves in its accounts to back USDT tether tokens in circulation for only 27.6% of the days in a 26-month sample time period from 2016 through 2018.

You're leaving out critically important context, which is that Tether held other assets as reserves:

>>The order further finds that Tether failed to disclose that it included unsecured receivables and non-fiat assets in its reserves

Reading your comment without this context would lead a casual observer to conclude that the assets backing the issued USDT held a value of 27.6% of the USDT's face value, which is entirely different than reserves equalling ~100% of USDT in value, but with a significant fraction of assets constituting those reserves not being of zero-risk fiat as the marketing arguably implied.
Fantastic tool, thanks for making it!

As others said, it would be a nice option to export it as a playlist for Spotify/Apple/Youtube or a .txt file with "Artist - Track name" in each line. Then you can import the txt file into a playlist converter tool like www.tunemymusic.com and play it in your favorite music service. Mine is discoverquickly.com where you can listen Spotify playlists fast with mouseover, and discover related songs/artists.

An autoplay x seconds of every track, where you can choose the number of seconds, would be a nice addition too. This way you can discover music while doing other things.

> But if they change a few lines in the actual project and compile again it would be near instant.

If it’s a big project and the lines you are changing are in something that is being used many other places then the rebuild will still take a little while. (30 seconds or a minute, or more, depending on the size of the project.)

Likewise, if you work on things in different branches you may need to wait more when you switch branch and work on something there.

Also if you switch between Rust versions you need to wait a while when you rebuild your project.

I love Rust, and I welcome everything that is being done to bring the compile times down further!
Haha! Well, if you put it like that...

Yes. I don't drink much, once or twice a month, but if we're all round someone else's house I may have a beer in my hand.

I have three children in the 4-10 yo range. They like screens, and very occasionally they might continue watching a movie while having a snack or weekend dinner, but otherwise it's avoided 99% of the time. I've observed other children unable to eat without a screen adjacent and would never allow it to develop as a habit. I find it incredible that parents have allowed this to form as some sort of crutch. Just boggles my mind.

I don't think it has much to do with the pandemic era. It's parents caving when they should hold firm. It would've happened regardless.

On the other hand, I know one couple with children who are quite firmly against screens almost at all, but it seems unnecessarily miserly. There is excellent content on YouTube (I watch Asian street food videos with my children, or woodworking or Mark Rober's channel occasionally) and I'd rather my kids experience many games ahead of passive TV viewing. Better to play (e.g., Minecraft or Goat Simulator) than watch another kid play the same thing.

I thought a lot about this being from a country with severe corruption problems, although not nearly as bad as yours. I agree that in these situations "people largely get what they deserve" but I don't think the problem is that they vote for corrupt leaders. I think the problem is the people themselves, their culture and values are a lot more corrupt compared to a civilized country. You can observe corruption at every level, not just the top, a fact that you mention as well. Even the poorest people, the ones who are victims of corruption are just as corrupt themselves. They are exploiting any opportunity to steal for themselves and would not change a thing given significant power but only steal more.

I don't know if I made myself understood, my point is I don't think this is a situation you can vote yourself out of. I honestly don't know what can be done in such situations.

Hi, I'm Lia. I am a generalist experienced in software architecture and a wide range of web-related technologies.
I think it's pretty obvious that the second law comes from reversibility of the microscopic laws.

In classical mechanics, Liouville's theorem makes phase space density incompressible, so you get that entropy always increases. In quantum mechanics, unitarity gives the same incompressibility - the density matrix change with time is multiplying by a unitary matrix left and right, which preserves the eigenvalues, so the entropy, being sum of the log of eigenvalues, stays the same.

The opposite is also obvious: in a system which is irreversible, look at an ensemble of two states which evolve to a single state. The entropy before was 1 bit, after the evolution it's 0 bits. So the system violates the second law.

Classic sock-puppet usage is done through the web UI.
In codes written before GFCI, making sure you can't electrocute yourself by accident could be achieved by:

a) establishing a minimum distance between the sources of water and electrical switches that would have to be measured, inspected carefully, be expensive to re-do, and possibly not be practical inside a small bathroom, or

b) requiring the switch to be outside the room

Some locales chose b, and never updated.

What would we actually consider an AGI? Wikipedia lists the following tests

> The Turing Test (Turing):
A machine and a human both converse unseen with a second human, who must evaluate which of the two is the machine, which passes the test if it can fool the evaluator a significant fraction of the time. Note: Turing does not prescribe what should qualify as intelligence, only that knowing that it is a machine should disqualify it.

> The Coffee Test (Wozniak):
A machine is required to enter an average American home and figure out how to make coffee: find the coffee machine, find the coffee, add water, find a mug, and brew the coffee by pushing the proper buttons.

> The Robot College Student Test (Goertzel):
A machine enrolls in a university, taking and passing the same classes that humans would, and obtaining a degree.

> The Employment Test (Nilsson):
A machine performs an economically important job at least as well as humans in the same job.

LLMs don't seem very far from passing 1), 3) and 4). I wouldn't be surprised if "GPT5" passed those 3.
I would really like you to clarify your intentions on serving non-HTML content.

I say this slightly nervously as a Cloudflare customer who serves some amount of binary data. One message is "it's ok if you're on a paid plan". Another is "it's not ok at any time". My suspicion is that "it's ok unless we notice you".

If you could come up with consistent understandable messaging that would help a lot. I don't mind paying (stay competitive against AWS and Hetzner and that's all I need) but the uncertainty is not good.
