> The bill takes a wrecking ball to the very fabric of encryption, by requiring encrypted messaging apps to scan for abusive content within the app (or the app’s underlying operating system).

Perhaps I misunderstand the analogy, but this doesn't seem to do anything to the "very fabric of encryption."

It certainly would make me have zero trust in any encrypted messaging apps that continue to operate in the UK and follow this law. Otherwise, anyone who wants to have truly encrypted messaging can do this on their own. And if the barrier of entry for learning how to sign messages is too high, I don't doubt that open source encrypted messaging apps already exist or will quickly come into existence and will refuse to comply with laws like these.

What are they going to do, force math to comply with their laws?
yeah by hallucinating
Maybe I've misunderstood, but it seems like this would only help for files the program puts in places itself. Thus it wouldn't help with files placed by the installer would it?

> Getting new blood thus may entail getting rid of the Old School interface and going with whatever is 'current'.

This is an easy thing to say. Sometimes it is even true, but i think its overstated.

To survive you need to lean into whatever makes you unique or interesting, and convince new users that you're worth it. Chase whatever is trendy too far, and you simply become the off-brand version of whoever is the market leader. That annoys your base wothout actually growing new users since you aren't going to be better than whoever you are copying.
This is healthy for proof of stake. Exchange validators tend to be slow to upgrade software, and do not engage with the community or participate in on chain governance votes. They are not accountable to delegators because the funds that they stake come from low-knowledge speculators, and they also are not exposed to the token's price movements much.

Kraken was one of the best as far as exchange validators go though.
> This was the one where the media reported that because nobody was found in the front seat it must have been the fault of the self-driving feature.

And the fact that this was media disinformation won't matter much, because the damage to the Tesla brand and the idea of self driving cars in the public's collective consciousness has already been done, and won't easily be undone by these newly revealed facts.

This "article" has one paragraph dedicated to actually explaining why drugs are expensive, and it says it's because of patents.

It also tries to blur between patents and exclusivity. Exclusivity is usually 3 years (5 for new antibiotics and new chemical entities). Patents are 20. Exclusivity is a very small portion of intellectual property protection. I would call that dishonest.

The FDA does not control drug patents, the patent office does. Abolishing the FDA would do practically nothing to reduce IP protections, but would eliminate all the other things they do, like making sure drugs work and don't kill people.
Google says "motorcycles are usually ridden for around 3,000 miles per year on average" so that's less than a hundred hours. Another result says the median is 1000 and 90th percentile is around 5000.

Neither one is "extremely" dangerous but it's a far cry from "all these strict regulations make it extremely safe" like with commercial flight.

It's difficult for a company to work well when 50% are in office and 50% are remote.

If you can't get enough good employees in office, then it is smarter to go 100% remote as you now have an easier time hiring and working globally.
Encryption is less a nuke and more an impenetrable bunker. I can't drop encryption on someone and kill them, but it can keep people safe.
You're kind of asking what's the point of having states and that's a fair question, but one that's been long decided. As long as you've got states with the power to make their own rules, people who want to live in and do business in those states will have to follow those rules (this is theoretically one of the biggest benefits of states existing).
Maybe, but that works both ways. Employees are often reluctant to leave jobs where they have a lot of personal relationships, or if getting a new job would entail moving to a new city/state/country, even if jumping ship would entail a sizable payraise or other improvement in working conditions.

In an industry where remote work is the norm and changing jobs doesn't even require changing offices, people are much less likely to give up some pay to stay where they are.

This is intriguing. Could it be simply explained by introducing ToM (or ToM-like) training data? Since all DaVinci models are 175B parameters, the extra training or training data must be the reason for the improvement. Do we know how different DaVinci models are trained?

What do you like about GHA over Gitlab CI? I much, much prefer Gitlab. I've used both at companies for 5+ years. GHA are getting much better and the GHA Marketplace is a game changer. Gitlab needs that bad. But I find I have to be much more declarative with GHA (not using pre-mades) and get things done much more quickly with Gitlab.

Gitlabs price increases over the years have been unpleasant though.

I'm always confused. The NWO conspiracy people say that gene editing will be prohibitively expensive (like owning a yacht is), but the real life examples I see don't seem that way.

I would say fad is probably a poor choice of words given the perspective "if one CEO thought it was appropriate (they let headcount + salaries creep up too high" and deemed it was in the realm of "action needed to correct", it probably wasn't baseless.

Have you taken a look at the year over year headcount growth of some of these companies? If anything, you could make the argument that 7% isn't enough :/

If you buy a new car today, it'll be better than a 40 year old car in pretty much every metric. Performance, fuel efficiency, comfort, safety, etc.

I think the OP is complaining that they're paying "modern vehicle" prices to rent a plane that has had minimal changes since the 1960s. The vast majority of old cars (other than collectable ones with low mileage) are gonna be cheaper than they were new.

It's an analogy. I readily acknowledge one doesn't directly die from speech (of course both speech and guns can be instrumental in killing).

gun:nuke

plaintext:encrypted

If nukes, which are arms, can be banned under 2A -- why can't encrypted speech be banned under the 1A? I mean hell the 1A can even ban materials of 'prurient interest' which as far as I can tell a picture of a naked woman isn't going directly to kill anyone either.
> I'm reminded of the early days of "AI" when that consisted of building chess engines, because chess is what "intelligent" people do. They quickly realized that they were solving the wrong problem, doing the thing that humans are bad at and computers are good at.

Is this really true? Because a lot of effort was spent on making computers as good at chess as human experts. It was considered a pretty big breakthrough when it happened and it definitely didn't happen early in the history of AI.

I guess we disagree on motorcycle danger then. I consider motorcycles to be extremely dangerous (mostly to their drivers). A friend of mine died about 1.5 years ago on one. I'd had two other people (not as close) in my life die in motorcycle accidents so I used to cringe inside every time he told me he was going riding over the weekend, though I would just wish him well & to be safe. Riding made him happy, was a stress reliever for him. And as far as that goes there are probably worse habits like smoking & drinking to excess, but that doesn't make any of them non-dangerous.
> I don't mind regulations and oversight of such things

Do you think anyone is arguing against the existence of plane regulations?
Eh, not really. Distance travelled !== quality of destination.

I can travel X minutes on a plane for Y cost to one set of destinations, or I can travel A minutes in a car for B cost to a different set of destinations. The actual distance between my current location and my destination means nothing to me, although the potential destinations do, which certainly are more varied with plane travel.

But I live in a pretty nice place, so travelling locally is pretty good too.
I don't know if there was an update, but one of the main issues I had was that my TV supports 4K, and the steam deck would natively try to select 4K in big picture mode, except that it would default to 30hz because that's what my dock supported. There wasn't any way at the time to set the TV resolution lower so I could get it to 60hz, but I'm not sure if that has changed.

Agreed, I don't think there's anything necessarily wrong with academic research languages, especially when people working on more directly applied projects know to use what's been researched, as the other thread about Rust alludes to. I'm reminded of Barbara Liskov's CLU language in the 70's; I don't think it got widely used, but to quote Hillel Wayne [1], "Every language spec for the next decade would namedrop CLU."

Honestly as a senior engineer at a FAANG like startup, coding is but a small part. Most of my week is split across

- coding

- architecting systems (if we're in the design phase of a project)

- writing design documentation

- researching business requirements (basically understanding the domain i'm working in)

- getting cross org support for my work and meeting stake holders

So yeah for most tech roles nowadays, learn to code is the equivalent of learn to send an email. I think the days are numbered for developers who just want a bunch of Jira tickets given to them and be left alone.

The question seems partly "What is the difference in recipes?" and partly "How are these words currently used?"

In the American eastern seaboard, the closest we probably have is the continuum of cornbreads, where the same word can be drastically different from place to place.

But I guess that's to be expected for a dish that started with Native Americans, filtered through English, Irish, Scottish, and African cultures, and then met a wave of more modern ingredients.

The core need remains the same, but tastes and ways to get there vary!
It's not like that.

You just remember one rule, and try and incorporate to your life.

After somewhat long period of passive trial-and-error, you either integrate it or toss it.

After six months of this, you come back to it and maybe pick up one more.

That's the right way to do this. Not memorizing the rules here and trying to add it all to your life. That will lead to disaster.

Three concrete things I picked up from this course and integrated into my life:

- Exercise is really good for my brain. I exercise regularly now. Looking good in a proper shirt doesn't require you to exercise much. But I do it regularly for the brain.

- Recall over revision. When studying something for the second time, I try to recall rather than read the stuff again. I see exercise and quizzes in whole new light now.

- Background processing. Spend time doing something else, and a solution to a problem you weren’t actively thinking about magically appears.

The same goes for other techniques amd such. I only remember one of Feynman's five(?) learning techniques and practice it consciously and actively. The one that tells you to teach others.

I don't remember finishing this Coursera course, but it made my life better.

It surprises me that the biggest knock on HN against people who prefer the office generally boils down to "get a life." Honestly, it's pretty insulting.

And I've never seen someone comment, "I'm pro-office because I have no social life." So why is that the prevailing sentiment?

To me it's more like those in favor of remote work find people who prefer office work very threatening and really look to knock them down a peg or two and discredit them. And what better way to do that than ad hominem'ing and insulting their social life?

I assume when you say 1996, you mean Humalog/insulin lispro? That falls in the rapid category, but I feel like most of the conversation about people wanting cheap modern insulin is the long acting right? The primary quality of life improvement people seek is having to inject only once a day, plus extra if diet requires?

I was dating 20 years from glargine (invented 1994, approved 2000), which is technically still patent protected somehow, despite biosimilars being approved. It takes a while too for Doctors to switch over when new paradigms are delivered. The real metric should be when long acting overtook intermediate acting prescriptions.

Gradient descent is just how neural networks (including auto-encoders) optimize parameters to minimize the loss function. They do this using derivatives to descend down the slope of the function. Autodiff is one way to compute the derivatives. Maybe we’re saying the same thing.
