I fed it some of my old HN comments, comfortably longer than the 1000 character minimum and found 9/10 times the classifier marked it as "unclear". This was a comment from 2020.

I found out that just repeating a sentence a few times causes it to classify something as "likely". This is not only an unwinnable race, I know for a fact some teachers will use anything above unlikely to mean used AI. At some point in the future, compute will be cheap enough to where a lot of online content will be put through a similar classifier. I am curious to know how conservative the estimates are. This was a non-technical comment, I wonder if a more technical comment would be even more likely to be misclassified.

Starry Internet Leaving Columbus Ohio Market
I thought I'd share this as I'm currently a subscriber of their service. I've had nothing but good things to say about them. Their line-of-sight wifi tech was very reliable.

January 31, 2023

Dear XXXXXXXX,

At Starry, we have always believed that being your internet service provider of choice is a privilege. And because of that privilege, our teams work around the clock to deliver a service experience that we believe is second to none. As a Starry customer, you’ve welcomed us into your home to keep your devices and your lives connected to the things that matter most to you, and being your ISP is a privilege we have never taken for granted.

That’s why it’s especially difficult to inform you today that beginning this spring, Starry will begin discontinuing its internet services in the Columbus, Ohio market.

We will be in contact with you to provide you with a more precise date regarding discontinuance of your Starry service. For now, you do not need to take any action.

We entered the Columbus market because we believe that everyone deserves a choice when it comes to internet service providers. We believe competition drives affordability and a higher quality of service. It’s our hope that even in our short time in Columbus we’ve made positive impacts across all of the communities we’ve served – whether it was through forcing incumbents to compete for your business or by making ultra-affordable broadband a reality for low-income households through our Starry Connect program.

We’re deeply proud of what we built in Columbus, the lives we’ve impacted, and the team we brought together to serve you, our customer. We will be in further communication, but if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our customer support team at: support@starry.com.

Thank you for being on this journey with Starry. Long live #HappyInterneting.

Sincerely,
The Starry Team
That is less an inherent property of density and more a property of Seattle's moronic lack of petty crime enforcement.
I can now go and incorporate this detector into the retraining pipeline for my evil language model or put it at the end of my architecture to emit only human-like results (as labeled by the detector). I don't see how detectors can win this cat and mouse game.
It’s typically not the moves alone that indicate engine use to the other player. The timing is also incredibly important. If it takes you 5 seconds to recapture a piece, where that’s the only viable move, but it also takes you 5 seconds to come up with an insane brilliancy that’s the result of a deeply calculated line, cheating is a likely explanation.
Is the "main" branch an advantage? I guess only if >50 percent of your repos use "main" branch

I completely understand your frustration. It's a dick move to delete your content without (at least) giving you a chance to archive that work.

At the same time this situation points up an important issue: if you don't own/control the infrastructure where your data lives, you don't own that data. Full stop.

If you host your data "in the cloud" (i.e., on someone else's servers) then you don't own that data, or at least not any copies stored there).

I'm not advocating for any specific action/solution in this comment (see my comment history for more about centralization vs. decentralization and "the cloud"), but the above is an important consideration, especially WRT long-term storage of your data.
Its a great way to swindle overzealous educators. The kind that do hugely unproductive things to students because they think that its in their best interests.
Tell me then, why do you think England is unique among the constituent countries of the United Kingdom in not having "its own" parliament? Is it because it's the least important member, subservient to the others?

Windows and Mac also have usability issues and they are driven by two companies that don't allow break ups of their DEs.

I don't think that a FOSS community will ever converge on an amazing DE without part of it breaking apart and starting a new one, for the sake of building something even more amazing or failing on the way.
Actually I have seen a setup that was quite close to this. Two separate networks, one of them was completely isolated from another, didn’t have Internet access and used a separate set of network equipment. On top of that, the building itself had two entrances - one for the boss and another one for the personnel. You physically couldn’t get from one part of the building to another. It didn’t help the boss though - he was blown up in his car one day. Fun times.
In the UK their reputation got so bad they renamed the company.
Kind of depressing to see someone downvoted for stating the facts.

Apparently knitwear is forecasted to have a CAGR of 12% the rest of the decade. With hand knitted garments commanding the high prices. It's definitely not the worst cottage industry one can chose.
Arduino Uno is mostly 1-clock per instruction. A 16MHz ATMega328p scores 16MHz MIPS.

80386 was mostly 4-clocks per instruction. A 20MHz 80386 only scored 5MHz MIPS. Most 1980s/90s computers were multiple-clock-ticks per instruction (8051 was 12-cycles per instruction, so a 12MHz 8051 is only 1 MIPS).

I don't think Intel got to single-cycle instructions until 80486?? Hard to remember all the differences...

Furthermore, the ATMega328p has many 16-bit instructions, like add, which operate over two registers in one clock tick.
All politics is local. Every citizen of a city is also a citizen of the state. "Local" is a demarcation drawn where ever it's convenient for the speaker. A smaller group should not be able to supersede the superior authority at the larger polity's expense.

In this case, the locally-optimal choices cities are making is having deleterious effects on the quality of life of the citizens of the state as a whole. It is perfectly reasonable for the state to therefore act.

No, but that's how private repos work. It's really hard to open source code from a repo no one has access to.
No, it doesn't. It only makes sense until you stop and go "Wait, no, hold on a minute. Why would they delete the fork instead of simply severing the fork relation in their fork relations table?".
I've worked on marketplaces before, though not the most technical job you can get in the industry, you must execute on the product side your the operational wheels will literally fall off. Even this app, it's not a two way marketplace, as it is a three way: end users, clients, and you as the operations team. It can also be very difficult to get flywheel effects going, but that's a problem for a different day :)

Anyway, it always surprises me that non-technical founders try to enter a field where the are unskilled in the core competencies (software/sales/marketing), then outsource that competency to someone with no vested interest in the outcome of the project. There's a reason tech companies don't outsource the tech, and that's because you want extremely tight integration of decision making and technical knowledge.

Additionally, I'm surprised the marketing spend was so low. An infinitely better plan would have been for one person to build a BE/website that works on mobile, another to sell it to some clients with fun activities, and spend as much money as possible on targeted marketing. That, and not trying to sell a travel application in the middle of the largest travel industry recession since 9/11.
I definitely don't want strangers viewing my contacts. Even being able to view my emergency medical card is too much. Lost phone should be put into Lost Mode where you can put a message with a phone number to aid return of the device.
I don't own a TV and I don't know what a "TV thing" is.

I do have a pretty large monitor on a wall patched into a desktop PC via HDMI though.
Roundup of Events for Bootstrappers in Feb 2023
I hear you. I didn't do it for a while but I did 2 things more recently:

1. Setup IMAP backups locally on my computer and everything is backed up on computer to 3rd party backup tool

2. Use Google Takeout from time to time (it is a bit weird at times though).
Easy. We just need an AI that serves as a public notary. Wait a minute..

It really is an interesting problem to think about. The other commenter pointed out you could just sign an AI text - I see all the issues, but my gut feeling tells me there is an elegant solution somewhere.
People generally don’t try to block offices or retail the way they try to block housing. Many of the NIMBY concerns like having to build more schools don’t apply.
Cool stuff!

I'm actually in the process of writing a game for my nephew, who is turning 9.

My game is going to be more about going to school and encourage him to have fun learning and socialising; perhaps shooting zombies, protecting/getting power-up from the school, collecting books for points.

He lives in a poor household where the mother doesn't want to do anything that isn't life-or-death. The kids (he's oldest of 3) are alive regardless of going to school,and the mother didn't need school, so there's a real need for some sort of external encouragement to push beyond that.

It seems trite, but I do wish that fortnite had some "stay in school" message, even just in the title sequence / main menu.

I wonder if they mean "challenge" in the sense that these are some of the hardest-to-discern passages. Meaning that with average human writing / average type of text, the % is better. I'm unsure.
I think the situation is simple: the experts they listened to had an agenda, and the actual experts were repeatedly ignored.

If I have to wear that sweater inside my own home, where I get to control the thermostat, I would say that this is a more miserable existence. I'm not sure what there is that's not understandable about that.
I can't speak for anyone else, but for $5/month or whatever discount I'm paying, it's well worth it to have a wide variety of music available on demand. I learn things I didn't know, hear music I'd not otherwise hear, occasionally they'll have well-established musicians & producers do a set and talk about people they know and why they like their music so much.

I'm sure Spotify has its own advantages (I'm a long-time Pandora user, haven't tried it) but not having to plan anything in advance and having full access to all of the stations in the middle of nowhere is quite nice.
There were a whole bunch of artist and genre specific mixes I used to listen to on yt that are gone now. The uploaders accounts have all been nuked too. The sad thing is I can listen to it all on Spotify but it's not the same.. the creator's did not insignificant work to mix the songs together.
Post it somewhere else. Youtube is largely a waste of time, unless you're some right-wing idiot scamming money out of teenagers.
The show also followed several decades of demonization of the changes that happened in the 60s. I sometimes think of Mad Men as making the point that the 60s happened for (good) reasons.
Wow if you could do this this would be absolutely amazing. Thank you for looking at the page and the idea and thinking of building it. I appreciate it.

I would hopefully be capable of using it too if you choose to share it.

I have a external M2 SSD enclosure and SSD which I use for backups and I use freefilesync to synchronize the files from the OS SSD to the enclosure SSD. It's manual.

I think synchronization is a difficult problem. But if your using OneDrive, Google drive you could simply have a frontend that copies the archive file there.
Excellent question. Not sure why it's getting no traction.

For my own use-cases, I usually test this at the application level and not the DB level. This is admittedly not unit-testing my SQL (or stored procs or triggers) but integration-testing it.

Right!

Then “enter your phone number”.

These people are probably jumping on the next bandwagon? I recently saw something like this — I think it was post.news or so. Is it a new trend these days?
I'm not sure I agree that a high quality of life requires playing in the streets. Perhaps an issue is that many rural areas lack adequate pedestrian pathing and recreational areas? Maybe an even larger issue is that parents generally feel unsafe leaving their kids alone outside.
Wow, has it gone down that much in Europe? My BMW 120d was still 1,400kg.
If the information in the comment directly relates to the code and is for developers then putting it next to the code makes a lot of sense. Putting it somewhere else just increases the likelihood it will go stale and decreases discoverability of the information.
In SQL-heavy ETL pipelines, I normally don't test the SQL queries by themselves, but do black box & performance testing to verify that the output of a certain batch job matches what I expect (automated acceptance testing).

This is easier if you have the same input every time the tests run, like a frozen database image, because then you can basically have snapshot tests.
If you didn't want people to assume the worst, then maybe you should reconsider that how your write and what you say could be interpreted in many ways, and not sound so negative and admonishing when you criticize others?

Notice that I didn't tell you what to do, I simply asked you to consider if the way you were going about the matter was appropriate.
CXL Picks Up Steam in Data Centers
This is why they're called an antihero.

The absurd, frustrating, and sometimes hilarious experience of the characters in Mad Men reminds me _a lot_ of the chaos of working in tech startups the last 10 years during the boom economy. A lot of people have had bosses reminiscent of a Don Draper, Roger Sterling, or Cooper, even if it wasn't full bore day drinking, fuck-your-secretary 1960s levels of bad behavior. Pretty close though. I'll never forget hearing a story a date once told me about her eng manager doing nitrous oxide at his desk. Or how Dropbox, Google, etc. literally had places to nap in the office. Or the many many women who went to coding bootcamps, only to have their mentors try and date them.

Even if you think Draper is an unappealing asshole, there are other characters (like Peggy!) that are there to personally identify with and root for. Mad Men provides a lot of catharsis seeing a set of deeply flawed people, subject to the trials and tribulations of history, make it through life and work. We all want to believe that despite our various fuckups, we're good people and deserve to be happy.
"The critical brain hypothesis suggests that neural networks do their best work when connections are not too weak or too strong." is actually a tautology, no?

Without a crisp explanation for what "too weak" or "too strong" mean, this is just saying "Neural networks work best when connections couldn't be changed to make them work better."
This is hacker news, so they are going to be focusing on tech layoffs, but really there are layoffs happening in all industries, and tech is about the middle of the pack.

In terms of complaining about growth companies being too aggressive in hiring, I mean, that's the point of a growth company. Almost all companies gearing up for fast revenue growth get fast headcount growth as part of the deal.

For some data, you can look at BLS layoff by industry reports here:
https://www.bls.gov/news.release/jolts.t05.htm

The biggest hit industry has been arts, entertainment, and recreation. The second biggest hit was construction. The third biggest hit was professional and business services, and information was fourth biggest hit. After that, transportation, trade, and utilities. The usual safe sectors like government are doing well, but mining and manufacturing as well as retail have done pretty well.

My personal theory is the reason for all these news articles is that media has been hit really hard. So the journalists writing for media are in mass panic mode -- not a good time to be working for either a news website or legacy news outlet.

Monopsony strikes again.

Sirius still exists because FM radio is absolute dogshit in the US thanks to the Clear Channel/iHeartMedia conglomerate effectively owning everything.

Your FM dial is absolutely terrible unless you happen to live near a good college radio station or an unusual city (San Diego can pick up some interesting Mexican stations, for example).
I think calling it "TikTok for text" is the bad idea. Sounds like it's focused on traditional long-form writing not short-form content. The only part of TikTok they're trying to emulate is a recommendation algorithm that doesn't suck (and which every social media site should be trying to do).
How about just Hacker News, expanded with some machine learning to determine the topics I would be interested in. My 'friends' or connections don't supply me with nearly enough of the posts and news items that catch my interest, whereas I trust HN to float up things of interest (and not pure trash), so can I just base my feed on your posts?
Either you're lucky or you just have not had that many drives around...

The first to fail was a Miniscribe 5¼" 20MB, it died after a week. I replaced it with a 3½" Seagate connected to an Adaptec RLL controller - this being before IDE was a thing the controller decided the encoding scheme and RLL gave you 50% extra storage space. This Seagate never died on me, I probably have it around somewhere still. Then came the Western Digital IDE drives, two of those died and took ~250MB of data with them to data heaven. They were followed by another WD, this one 1.2GB - it died. When I built a system around the famous Abit BP-6 motherboard I put in two Maxtor drives - which I should not have done, one of them died within 2 years. Meanwhile I'd helped my father get a new drive, one of those fancy IBM Deskstars. Within a year it had turned itself into a Deathstar like most of its brethren seem to have done. Then there was the 10 GB Travelstar which died, then the 20GB Travelstar which also died - but survived the canoe expedition over the Yukon safely tucked away into the water- and probably bulletproof solar-powered Virgin Webplayer I had made to document the 3½ month trip - and the 20GB Toshiba. The 2TB WD Green, dead. One of the 1TB WD Greens, dead - but its mate still running strong at a 120.000+ running hours with its 2TB brand mates coming in second at 100.000+ hours. In the DS4243 array I have replaced 5 15K 600GB drives, good that these were cheap as dirt (but take quite a bit of power to run, hence the low price).

Notice that I have not had a Seagate drive die on me yet. There are a few in an array somewhere here but those still do their job even though they're quite old by now. Maybe I'm just lucky in that I never bought any of the failing types since these problems seem to be related to specific types.
Same nothing that prevents a person from copying it onto a USB stick before they leave.

However, that's not GitHub's problem. GitHub is "told" (by removing the person's access from the repo) that they shouldn't have access to the repository or its code. It is within GitHub's ability to remove access to their fork and remove it.
WebAssembly Memory64 is coming

https://webassembly.org/roadmap/
Though transmitter and receiver hardware is entirely incompatible, so an imported car or radio from the EU/Australia would not be able to tune in any HD Radio signals.

Even today, not all brand new cars and replacement head units include HD Radio tuners—many are still analog AM/FM only. Pair that with most cars and trucks on the road not being brand new, and market penetration is very low outside of people who bought the right new cars in the past few years.

Many (but not most—yet) stations which launched HD signals in the past decade have since switched them off to give more bandwidth back to the analog signal, and to avoid ongoing HD licensing fees.
I thought the same thing, but Wikipedia says it was officially renamed in 1989...
I agree. But I would like to add: ANY business is hard. Not only B2C.
This is amazing! well done to him!
I said subtle because I am not inexperienced in this area and these "signals" absolutely are subtle/ambiguous a decent portion of the time. And clearly you do need to track all 1000, otherwise how would you know if someone is trying to "signal interest or a lack thereof"? If I'm not paying attention to that one signal and they use it, then I'm missing the signal.
