It's wild that your blog, and probably your introduction to a lot of people, still has that damn pop-up once I've read two paragraphs. I was actually interested in what you do, and now I'm commenting on HN and going on to the next story.

This tone of denial makes them sound like they were caught red-handed.

No, the point is they don't give the union store benefits. So by unionizing they make stuff better for everyone but themselves.

And they are still doing their job, but not at Google. Almost all of the people who invented transformers are at their own startups right now. Even OpenAI has a splinter group, AnthropicAI, the one Google invested in.

This is the same journalist who broke news about Mai Lai, reported in-depth on Abu Ghraib, and much more. Serious, serious news.
Write something for yourself. When you're the user, the motivation to continue working on it is much stronger.
> I want a definitive, authoritative answer to a question.

As others have pointed out, AI is not yet capable of this. I do agree though, I want this too. But I don't trust OpenAI or Google or anyone else to do it correctly yet.
If anyone else had written this, would it be significant?

Wouldn't it just be written off as a conspiracy theory that provides little to no evidence for its claims?

If the only thing that gets this on HN is Seymour Hersh's reputation (which has lately become somewhat questionable) then you might want to reconsider. Plus, the quality of the comments has not been very good so far.
Was this included for comic relief? Or did you actually think we should take the CIA or State Department PR seriously?
I much agree (not with literary having a war of course...)

Burnout rates are higher than ever, many people use painkillers daily, 10% of today's children are diagnosed with adhd and are often drugged [1]. Like drugs are a solution to everything. In the old days kids spend a lot of time outdoors, nowadays average screen time is around 7.5 hours [2]. That must have a tremendous impact on body and mind.

Drug drugs drugs, to quiet the kids, to solve your headaches, to feel better, to lose weight.

Like common sense has left us.

Self-help books sky rocket in number of sales, everyone has a coach and/or therapist. I would argue if everyone needs a therapist, people just forgot how to live. A lot can be done by start living more offline again and use your body. [3]

Let's have more common sense! (and no war please :)

That could be true for some of the stone-built cathedrals, but a lot of buildings tourists like aren't particularly difficult to build or maintain, they're just not done due to cost. These buildings could also be imitated or "quoted" for a fraction of the cost of the source buildings, but they're just not done since development is really only done to turn a buck, whereas in the past a lot of people developed buildings out of a sense of grandness or splendor meant to inspire and show off.
We've already got lots of gas power plants.

The cost of converting them to peaker plants isn't zero, but it's not anywhere near the cost of building new ones.
I haven't worked with golang in some time. How do golang devs generally obtain the compiler?

If you're getting it from distro repos, it should be straightforward to convince the distro package maintainer to disable the telemetry / patch it out.

Or is it a nvm/pyenv/rustup situation where you prefer to use bespoke toolchain managers to download upstream's compilers?
Thank you very much for this amazing feedback, really appreciated.

We did a lot of improvement to the indexing part of the engine and now can auto-batch updates which gaves incredible improvements. We will continue to work on this in 2023. Can I know the version you were using?

I am very happy with PDF XChange viewer on windows, since it renders very quick and efficiently, while having many features for annotation/marking/etc that is usually not available. Eg highlighting text, text boxes, arrows, polygons, etc. Very fast to zoom, scroll, pan.

Since I am a tab hoarder, naturally my PDFX has a couple of pdf tabs too, so it takes a little while to open - so if I want to just quickly view a file, I drag and drop it onto firefox.
I think the difference here is that static typing gives a poverty of real reliability guarantee's but one must always pay the cost. Since Clojure gives agency back to the programmer, there is a choice here. Clojure for production should check its types at the domain level or as close as possible, be simple, and spare. Personal experiments and tooling can be in a different style. It is just like building anything else, design and construction for maintainability is very different than prototyping or experimenting. Clojure has all the tools required to make robust production software. But it takes the intention and proper decision making to do so.
There are lots of conspiracy theories that haven't been disproved.

More importantly, none of Hersh's conspiracy theories have EVER been proven real.

He won a Journalism Prize literally 50 years ago for some photos that he took, and he leverages that fame to push anti-US conspiracy theories with zero evidence.

Same here. My gaming PC has not seen any use whatsoever (for gaming) since I got the Deck.

The form factor is actually perfect for pre-HD games that were built for small CRT TVs.

I am now rediscovering kid-friendly platformers with my little daughter. It's truly wonderful! (And we were even able to extricate our Stardew Valley save game from the Switch, to continue our journey on the Deck).

It is a wonderful little device!
One of the core dilemmas of raising the next generation:

1. We base much of our own sense of self-worth on difficulties we have overcome and our ability to take care of others.

2. We fairly extend that same metric to others and judge others by the difficulties they've overcome and what they do for others.

3. Therefore, the better we are at living up to our own values and improving the lives of the next generation, the less we respect them for it.

If kids had it as hard as us, it would indicate a failure on our part to provide for them. If they don't have it as hard us, we see them as soft.

(The current generation has tackled this dilemma both by destroying the climate and functioning economic and institutional systems they had the luxury of growing up under thus making it worse for the next generation, and still calling them weak for, unsurprisingly, wanting to tune out of the horror show that is the world by staring at their phone.)
It requires one to be fairly detached from political reality to describe U.S. military forces in German as an occupation. You lose credibility by saying such a thing. You should reconsider the sources of your information.

Note that Safe Search would exclude any visuals that would get a movie an R rating--but it's legal for parents to allow their children to see R rated movies. (And note that there's a grey area where there's stuff that's NC-17 but really contains nothing farther than an R, but either more of it or homosexual rather than heterosexual.)

And I recently ran into a tidbit about the rules in Australia: Detailed pictures of female genitalia are automatically 18+, even if the purpose is educational in showing girls the range of normal genitalia to show them that theirs is normal.
I just did Caddy container as reverse proxy for my HA server - Caddy has support for Letsencrypt built in. Needs very little configuration. This approach lets you put SSL on any webservice you are running, the configuration is not specific to HA at all.

https://caddyserver.com/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_proxy

If you use LetsEncrypt's DNS-01 challenge to setup the SSL automatically, you can even deploy valid working SSL for IPs in the private range (192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x etc etc), allowing auto-deployment of SSL for private services on your LAN, not just publicly accessible/exposed IPs. You can get around port forwarding during initial letsencrypt setup with this too, as all happens via DNS providers public APIs.

> https://letsencrypt.org/docs/challenge-types/#dns-01-challen...

Caddy is really easy to deploy as a Docker instance as well. There are many, many ways to accomplish LetsEncyrypt with HA though! It's really just an example of a common generic reverse proxy problem - searching for "reverse proxy letsencrypt" will show you many other ways to do it too. If you are using Docker to host your services at small scale, there are some really clever options now that auto-configure Caddy and SSL via letsencrypt all just using docker compose:

This sort of content could thrive on peertube, they don't have to win over the "influence career" people.

But this isn't 15 years ago. There wasn't a huge player in this space when Youtube was getting started, but now there is. And now people know it's theoretically possible to make decent money creating content.
My thoughts exactly.

If this is true and more evidence comes out, the usual suspects will be screaming it from the rooftops, if not this narrative will die in obscurity. There's been a lot of misinformation about this war, and a bunch of people who for a variety of reasons want to blame the US for it and are willing to believe some incredible things if they support that narrative.
Is there anything they could say or do, without providing undeniable evidence someone else did it that you would believe? If "we didn't do it" reads as "we did it", what do you expect them to do, not respond at all? That would be more suspicious to me.
Any numerical system operates only on numerical, not logical/grammatical/whatever constraints. Wrongness is built into any system based solely on neural components by the simple fact that rightness is unverifiable from within these systems' own "logical" (read: associational) apparati.

He actually did though. Saying the Syrian rebels gassed themselves (common Assad talking point [https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v35/n24/seymour-m.-hersh/who...] parroted by people like Tulsi Gabbard/Tucker/etc), and also said the Pentagon had a secret agreement with Assad and Putin to undermine Obama. He also offered absolutely no evidence of any of this.
Seymour Hersh took out the Nord Stream pipeline.

In this essay, I will use the same number and quality of sources as Hersh did in his article to support my claims. Hersh had an incentive to take out the Nord Stream pipeline so he could write the aforementioned article and become slightly relevant again, therefore he did. In conclusion, Seymour Hersh took out the Nord Stream pipeline.

> and slowly trickle down

Seems like a strong assumption that it necessarily does splash damage beyond a certain cohort. I went to a public HS of 4K in the 00s only AP Juniors/Seniors were concerned with this kind of thing and AP kids were only friends with other AP kids (for obvious reasons); I'd doubt that've changed by 2012.
That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence. Do you see any sources for their claims?
If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them.

> This also seems intuitively true: If you ask your friend a difficult question, you often don't expect them to be able to answer it on the spot. You probably expect them to have relevant experience and a rough understanding of the topics and the tools to look up or figure out the rest. Similarly, it feels intuitively wrong to expect a LLM to come ready-made with all knowledge baked in.

Not sure. In theory, this being computers and all, I sort of do expect my search engine to effectively come "ready-made with all knowledge baked in". I do not expect Google to start a new web crawl because I gave it a novel query, and I don't expect a language model (certainly not one being used for search purposes) to say "hang on, I need to go read some more before I answer that".
Very interesting effect. Not sure how practical it would be, but I like seeing what's possible with CSS. I'd prefer it without request to Google Fonts for the Roboto font, and just use system fonts by default. Also I'm curious what the JavaScript is for - I think people would like it better if it were pure CSS.

Boomers are full of men white knuckling their way through lives of quiet desperation (is the English way. The time is gone, the song is over. Thought I’d something more to say). Their children were brought up that way, and maybe only started to question it in adulthood, with their own children, or before grandchildren came. As long as the kids don’t get parenting advice from grandma and grandpa, there’s more permission to ask for help.

I’m surprised the numbers for girls are still so high relative to boys, but not surprised that the rate for boys is catching up.
Should they? One political party's disinfo is another's creed.
> It seems how we diagnose people is totally unconnected from any empirical data on if a culture more willing to diagnose people is making people healthier on a population-wide level.

Speaking of an absence of empirical data: People are being told by doctors that their brain has a "chemical imbalance" which medication can fix, despite those doctors not performing any chemical tests on the patient's brain at all. Supposed "chemical imbalances" for which the science of chemistry can produce no empirical data. My brother lost years of his life in a drug-induced haze before he questioned the wisdom of doctors, got off the psyche drugs, and saw a massive improvement in his outlook on life all around. Turns out he had real problems to address and the drugs were only helping him to ignore those problems instead of actually confronting them. He never needed drugs, he needed a mature mentor.
I just don't have the time or willingness to have 1 location to play. Playing Halo anywhere and on the go or quickly hooking it to a usbc->HDMI port and Xbox controller for big screen is very, very nice.
Your own link states that most (72%) black students received Pell Grants — grants that are given based on financial need. As cited in my previous comment, the wealth gaps created by racist housing policies can be across generations. It was less than a generation ago that computers commonly cost 5-figures, and remained expensive until relatively recently.

A good proxy is to look at the continued gap in broadband internet adoption by race, which is also linked to income. PoC are less likely to have a broadband connection at home, and relying more on their smartphone/tablet devices [1]. Educational attainment is also linked to broadband adoption [2]. Historically students haven't been learning to code/coding on their smart devices.

Lack of access is not lack of interest.

Both NS 1 and NS 2 were sabotaged.

The US have been hostile for a long time to Germany getting closer to Russia. The war in Ukraine has just been a convenient event to push their strategic agenda forward and so far, irrespective of those pipelines, it has been very good for the US.
I was getting a bit bored of c++ a few years ago and learned Haskell http://www.learnyouahaskell.com/ I used Haskell stack at the time and it was zero hassle to get coding. I did nothing practical, learned a lot and had a great time. My C++ is now way better.
Sounds like they should provide undeniable evidence then!
Yep, I know there are other pollinators- but there are definitely plants that are only pollinated by bees (see "Pollinator impact: 4- essential" on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_crop_plants_pollinated...) and that's why I wrote. my comment that way.

Now you've gone from "are they all dead" to "I have an anecdote and some local people reported all their bees died". I, too have seen local anecdotes about that... and then verified that they weren't true, and areas near me have huge and healthy bee populations.
When did it hit though, do we even know if life had started yet?
I'd happily pay twice that if they would let me.
All governments spy on all others to the best of their ability. If Germany isn't spying on the US that only means their intelligence service is not competent. Of course more effort is and should be spent on potential enemies, but there is too much in play to not spy on your friends if you can get by with it.

Note that success of spies is not guaranteed. It is possible Germany doesn't have spies in the US because despite trying they haven't found any.

Another view point: if you want to compete in the big leagues, you need to have "fuck you" levels of money. You can be happy building indie games for desktops as a career, but if you want to compete with Nintendo, Sony, and Meta then you need to take out your checkbook and write lots of zeros. So stop trying to compete with them if you don't have the capital! Build great games that aren't AAA-style FPS, BR, Minecraft/CoD/Halo clones.

I really wanted to buy one of these. I created a steam account to buy one, made the purchase, but then I got stuck in their fraud loop. They required me to send a picture of my drivers license and I wasn't comfortable with that. Such a bummer because this is my ideal device! I want this more than any gaming device I have ever encountered.
The subject of that referendum—abolishing indirect election of the president and moving to direct election—is something that people want in America. And the close result on the referendum seems to match opinion polling.

Maybe the referendum was rigged, I don’t know. But centralizing more power in the executive, if that’s what the people want, isn’t necessarily anti democratic.
Claims and sources are supposed verified in journalism. In the case of anonymous sources a journalist can't just bring to his manager a quote and say he's anonymous because that journalist (as many have over the years) might have just made it up. The manager has to know the identity of the source. If the journalist won't share the identity then it won't fly. So if someone else brought this story to NY Times, they would have to give the identity of the source, the manager would need to verify that this source was in a position (time, place, job, what have you) to know the things claimed. And would usually want to hunt down another source that corroborates what this anonymous source says to give it some weight.
Or else the reporter shifted the tone.

Happy to see these studies and more prescribed burns. Nature is complex and we're still learning.
I was musing on my website about ChatGPT [1] and one of the things I noticed about it is that if you analogize it to your own brain, which has a language model in it too, we are collectively asking ChatGPT to do something we would never ask of our own language model. ChatGPT does not have the "higher level" reasoning that we're asking for, to do logic, attribution, and the other things we want.

This is not necessarily a "criticism". It is obvious that ChatGPT produces an incredibly rich and meaning-filled representation of the text, as the extension of the text it can be used for demonstrates. But we should not be trying to "tweak" the language model here and there, trying to make a language model do something it isn't really suited for. We should be working on how to hook up that higher-level functionality. It is not obvious how to do that, true. But it at least stands a chance of producing the AI in reality that people think we have now, but don't.

For that reason, I don't think attribution is coming without a significant addition to the architecture. Language models shouldn't be doing attribution; the mess you'd create of them to accomplish that would ruin them as language models. Can you imagine how insane you'd go if your internal language model tried to stuff down every instance of when you have seen and/or used the word "brain" every time you tried to use the word "brain"? That's not what language models are for. That's what the thing using the language model does. I expect AIs to parallel this. I see no reason at all, and abundant reasons to the contrary, to expect AIs to just be undifferentiated blobs of numbers. I expect them to have structures just as our brains do, and for the exact same reasons. If undifferentiated blobs of identical neurons was the way to go, our brains would work that way too; it's far simpler than what we actually have.

> what is being shut down is an unpopular file hosting service

Maybe unclear wording here, but to clarify: KBFS (Keybase FileSystem) is not being shut down, only Keybase.pub is, which is a service which exposes selected files from KBFS on the web.

The file hosting (KBFSF) will still be a part of Keybase and remain working as-is.
