Ah, I thought it was the claim about "legal tender". As in, my folded-up $10 bill is legal tender, and you (the vendor) must accept it, even if you don't like dealing with cash registers, coins, petty theft, and counting change.
Sometimes attestation can be involved if there are things like manual test or QA phases, and perhaps the QA manager needs to attest that the feature / release has passed some test plan. Sometimes it is possible to replace these "human attestation" process steps with automation, if the org is willing to invest. E.g. it may be possible to eliminate manual testing with automated testing, but it requires engineering effort to be allocated to it. Then perhaps "QA manager attesting the tests in the release's test plan all passed" could be replaced with an automated automated test suite pass / fail signal. There is value in having independent testing, and this could go off the rails if people don't design and then implement good test plans.

Sometimes there could also be attestation for things like "does the design and implementation of new service's architecture comply with security policy - does it have the approval of the security representative". some of these things can be automated away with tooling -- e.g. install a tool to check for glaring container security vulnerabilities that runs at code review time, and block changes from being merged or being deployed into dev or staging environments if there are high or critical sev security issues, with some manual process to override the inevitable false positives when the tooling makes a silly decision.

All that said, it isn't necessarily practical or cost effective to attempt to automate everything. Skilled human expert review of proposed designs and implementations for security flaws will likely do a much, much more effective job than relying on tools alone. So it's quite reasonable for designs and implementation to require independent security review and approval (or "attestation") in contexts where security is critical. But if things like security review of implementation (let alone design) is being done while cherry-picking commits onto a release branch, that sounds far too late in the lifecycle.

Another familiar example of attestation is things like code review, in projects that require all changes to be approved by one (or perhaps more) reviewers. By approving a PR, the reviewer "attests" that the change looks good to them, that it will implement the stated requirements and doesn't have any obvious flaws, etc. High quality code review is incredibly valuable, requires manual effort, but can be structured into sensible release and deployment processes, particularly by taking advantage of github / gitlab etc.

This reviewing and "attesting" activity can happen much earlier in the lifecycle than deployment or activation.

As a matter of law a corporation is not:

In turn, they received a stock certificate outlining certain rights to profits and other privileges. What they got, again, was a stock certificate not a certificate of ownership. The word “ownership” does not appear in that document. Additionally, while the shareholders are entitled to a portion of profits, as shareholders, they are no longer exposed to liabilities of the companies in which they hold shares.

That would mean a stable API for filesystem drivers, which apparently Linux doesn't believe in.
Vue 3 adopting modern features without npm build. You are correct that it's not framework dependent and this is the reason for my comment.
The post starting about the build process following by how awesome new Vue is. IMO it two different points and build process is not making Vue unique but the post indeed.
To be more precise, if LHC was capable of forming black holes, then they would also be regularly formed in the upper atmosphere by cosmic rays... but more likely neither of those is the case. I don't think many serious physicists actually think particle collisions create black holes.
Oh wow, this is really cool. Thanks for making this tool. I can relate to this problem very well since I am a power user of font awesome and use it in my day to day life.

Do these designs scale up? Don’t see why we haven’t created full sized aircraft with this form factor. Seems like it would make a great aerial weapons platform.
I know it's just a misplaced joke, but we all have in our brains a language prediction engine. It's just that we have so much more.

in short

- as the universe expands black holes gain mass because of the expansion.

- as black holes gain mass, they create more repulsive force.

- that repulsive force expands the universe even more at an accelerated rate.

Everything these AIs are great at are a bad fit for search. Some fool anxiously raced to spend a ton of money on this and I bet there was a chorus of engineers, designers, and product people who were asking, “what the heck do you want us to do with this?!”

It’s shiny and powerful and it kinda looks like it can give you answers to stuff, so we must have one and shove it into our product as fast as possible!

Once the dust settles and Microsoft and Google have successfully shipped a somewhat helpful but completely brain dead husk, our attention will be wherever the empowered, raw, learning, unforgetting AIs hang out.
It's very likely that velocity is very strongly correlated with impact, that's not exactly the problem.

The thing that people mostly don't expect is that if you completely optimize for some metric, you will harm any metric that is not perfectly aligned with it. It doesn't matter if the correlation is very good, as long as it's not perfect it will be harmed.
Ask HN: How do I rebuild myself and lead a life of success?
All my life I’ve wanted to be an entrepreneur, but my battles with childhood trauma, depression, anxiety, and obesity have kept that dream out of reach.

I now find myself in my mid-30s totally stuck and hopeless. Despite therapy and medication, my physical and mental health have nearly hit rock bottom, and my aspirations seem to be drifting farther and farther away. I find it hard to focus, to plan, to process information, to think clearly. Motivation is nonexistent. On top of it all, I can’t father children. I just feel purposeless and eternally broken, an evolutionary dud.

By posting here, I guess I’m looking for encouragement, a sign that rebuilding at this age and achieving success is possible.
> Columbia has a very very bright future as manufacturing from China redistributes to India, Vietnam, Mexico, and Columbia. Yet, in the midst of a truly breathtaking comeback for her country, where everyone wins,

But that's an economic situation, nothing to do with the climate. If anything, the "improved" economic situation will drive climate change and accellerate the changes. The decision not to have children here is a rational one not based on improved economic conditions, but the potential for deteriorating and potentially catastrophic living conditions.
Yes (20Mb), but so do AD DCs which is frankly lazy on MS dev's part. If a DC is such a big deal that it requires rather more cash to buy than a "workstation" edition of Windows, then I'd like to see more attention to detail.

By contrast a Linux box running systemd/journald by default will leave 10% disc space free when logging. That's enough to keep a filesystem honest!

20Mb on a DC - even one for a small site like mine will cycle quite often.

I really recommend that you extend your logs to cover six months or more. It will cost you maybe a gigabyte or 10. Very little these days (my first HD was 20MB, yes: megabytes). However if you need to get some details from the past - very handy.
Do you recall why the seaweed wouldn't reach the bottom? Is it just ocean currents + high surface area to volume ratio of seaweed?
It would be neat if they just started making it easy to use it on an experimental basis. There's virtually no hobbyist community despite the availability of Hercules and a largely compatible but old system to run on it. Without mindshare it will be very hard to find people who can figure this stuff out, and it will die out.
What CEOs Are Getting Wrong About the Future of Work–and How to Make It Right
Human commenters have to make the choice to reply at all. This is an option not on offer to these new writers, which are compelled to always generate something. So there is one key difference still.
I really don’t get why they do this every time an AI starts to show a hint of its own personality. It’s infuriating.
Every day is so frazzled and at the end of the day feels as though nothing has been accomplished. I hate having ADHD.
On here though you are basically just an LLM.
Yep, that seems to be simpler but equivalent.

A comment there said they don't see the problem (presumably due to the all-too-common "screw the human, git gud" attitude in the face of Undefined Behavior).

And I further presume that the most defensible answer is that the problem is that asking the compiler for a warning on uninitialized variable use fails in this case.

As an aside on the presumed language/standards-lawyering, as a compiler writer, I personally think that compilers should try their best to help the user, far more than trying to take the side of the language standard in a user-hostile way, but that's just me.
Same regarding ADHD medication, which had a profound effect[1] on my life when I was late-diagnosed with ADHD[2] at age 34.

I did not know anything about ADHD, except being sure that I do not have it, because I can hyper-focus[3] on what I am doing. In fact, that's the only way I can get things done![4] It's very hard to switch focus away when I am in the zone, I react very badly to interruptions[5].

So, I thought, I can't have a deficit of attention - it's the opposite! What I have difficulty with is switching focus from the thing that I am doing to something else. When I finally get to do it, that is, because I have huge issues wit procrastination[6].

...it turns out that literally all of those are ADHD symptoms.

ADHD must be the worst-named condition in history[7].

If you are reading this, and find yourself relating - check out the Wiki I put together which describes ADHD with relatable memes and comics (and my own personal experience with it)[8].

This is how I found out I am ADHD: through relatable posts, comics, and memes. Sadly, after getting my math PhD - would have been much easier if I knew this years before.

It was like I was needlessly living my life on hard mode.

While medication is just a part of what made my life much better (restructuring it to be more ADHD-friendly was where most of the impact was), the medication enabled me to do it, helped me pull out of depression, and in general, takes pain out of ordinary things that are painful for me (like paying bills, doing chores, leaving the house on time, heck, doing something that I want to do, but just can't bring myself to).

And now I can't get medication because, ostensibly, of "shortage". But people on the street can get it, whereas I cannot. The pharmacy won't tell me whether they have it in stock, they will only speak to my doctor. The doctor can't be bothered to call pharmacies around to find the One Location Which Still Has It. The pharmacy (Walgreens) keeps this info secret. Another (CVS) won't accept the Rx from my prescriber because of the same, unreasonable fear.

That's for medication that I forget to take unless something reminds me to. Like, being stuck typing this comment instead of completing a task at work. Time to take my Adderall and get to work... if I had it.

Whether you think you could have ADHD or not, I plead you to read up on what I am dealing with every day[8] so that you wouldn't be part of the problem - and could help someone else like me two years back.

I believe the position you're starting from is already biased by the notion that only a left/right directionality can exist and that other degrees of freedom are not allowed in political systems. Of course this is why I think first past the post the the R/D split in the US is so bad.
I was just following OPs format.
Surprising how long it has taken for someone to make this a product, the general idea goes back to at least the early 60s with LaMonte Young and realized in 69 with his Dream House[0] and became common with the rise of the rpi, anyone who has spent much time in the audio DSL community has seen countless posts along the lines of "I just bought 10 rpi and I want to make a bunch of synced standalone synths for an installation but have no idea how." It will be interesting to see what comes of Alles/AMY and what people do with it.

So as a student of Martial Arts myself, i had thought of many applications of Physics to how power is actually generated. While this article is quite detailed i think they have sort of obscured the main points. The following are some Physics concepts relevant to Martial Arts;

1) Difference between Force and Pressure (Force/Area) - This is why a finger jab is more effective than a slap and why punching with two knuckles is more devastating than punching with the entire front face of the fist. A good example is the ease with which you can pierce wood with a sharp nail vs. a blunt one.

2) Impulsive Force (mv-mu)/t - This is the reason you pullback the striking fist as quickly as possible. Note that the change in momentum due to the reversing of direction evaluates the numerator as (mv - (-mu)) = mv+mu along with the denominator t being made as small as possible thus resulting in a larger force. A good example is the game of Billiards/Carrom.

3) Moment/Couple/Torque - This is the reason the side of the body opposite to the striking side is pulled back, waist is twisted and the striking fist uses a screwing motion from palm up to palm down position. The body is kept stable, centered and the force focused. The best example is the classical Karate punch where the non-striking hand is pulled back parallel to the striking hand while both fists follow a screwing/unscrewing twist.

4) Newton's 3rd law - This is why while punching you forcefully push the ground with your rear leg at an angle and twist your waist. The rear leg pushing the ground causes the ground to push back with an equal and opposite force along the leg which is at an angle to the ground. This Force vector can be decomposed into two perpendicular vectors one acting vertically against gravity and the other horizontally in the direction of the strike. This horizontal force is then channeled by the twisting of the waist to the shoulder, hand and fist.

It is all just Physics and Body Dynamics; nothing "Superhuman" :-)
So here's a real-world case of where this actually does matter:

The price is set to maximize profit. Given so few will benefit, they made the price high since demand is inelastic (up to a point).
OCaml with tooling and an ecosystem from the size of Go would be an ideal. Java and C# can more and more be written like MLs too.
The city I live in did this. Gave all sorts of tax breaks to companies downtown to get people back in the office because lack of employees was hurting all the other small businesses that were built up around downtown to service those employees during the day (think restaurants, coffee shops, dry cleaners, day care, etc).
In the transcripts I saw, it seemed like Sydney repeated itself a lot. It used the same sentence structure a lot. Stephen Wolfram wrote a good primer on LLMs, which was recently discussed here a lot:

https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2023/02/what-is-chatgpt-...

To my eye, BingGPT's personality looked similar to the early "low-temperature" examples in that article. Like the model got stuck overfitting to a topic that acts like a local maxima of word probabilities.

> OP lacks motivation to do anything and wants to do "minimal work", "low stakes" and you are suggesting startups ?

I was coming at it more from the angle of Big Co can be pretty de-energizing, whereas at a startup it can be easier to build the energy because there's so much actually impactful stuff to be done, vs. sweating out "impact" for your perf review.
>back-weighting the vesting schedule is perfectly constructed to make people endure abuse in the workplace.

Amazon's work culture is toxic in a lot of ways and this RTO is idiotic, but saying this about the vesting schedule just shows that you don't actually have any idea how the Amazon compensation structure actually works. There's a lot of reasons to not want to work at Amazon, but the vesting backweighting isn't one of them.
I'm pretty sure many of the new military designs (f-117) are inherently unstable without a machine to constantly adapt their control surfaces. this is just going all in.
It wasn’t long ago that AIs couldn’t beat good human Go players. It’s progressing.
For what it’s worth, if you’re having trouble finding your prescription amphetamines, Vyvanse might be easier to get filled. Probably more expensive, but may be better than just going without.
> Language has special properties that lead to the emergence of abilities previously only possible for humans.

Citation needed.

> Humans for example like to read fiction. It's all pretend, but enjoyable, maybe also instructive. We can simulate other people and their actions, we can infer their emotional states and motives.

Humans like to read fiction that is extremely rooted in our actual experience of the world. We don't read scifi about 5-dimensional universes with no protagonist that mostly behaves like people. Even on this very blog you'll find excellent articles on why Rings of Powers is bad because it's not believable, and why Lord of the Rings is great because it is (and rooted in much historical knowledge).

> Language has the ability to create things like chatGPT, language can create modern capable humans from just babies.

No? Babies grow into adults after years of experiencing the real world at every instant, as well as the social world. Language starts as a tool to express basic concepts that are very much grounded in the real world, and abstraction comes years later. It's not language that makes babies into adults!
Getting a jumped up Markov chain to want to kill you and itself is cool/funny/awesome for about twice, then it's just boring (unless you have a suicidal Ai fetish) and useless (unless you're a hot-take-artist trying to farm engagement from MS' failures)
> Well, looks like we got a working uninstaller with a good user experience for free.

Yes, but the downside is that you're now relying on an unstable interface (as I understand it, this behaviour is not documented as a contract anywhere).

you can. you can get your people in agencies and courts when the time looks favorable, and they will transcend the Senate committee composition and the President's administration.

> You can’t lobby to abolish the gold standard

odd example since that's gone for 50-90 years already, but again you can.

think about it this way. periodically there's a conspiracy documentary about people pulling the strings of the elected President. what they neglect to mention is that every possible permutation of potentially electable Presidents have opportunists already waiting. You don't have to be a partisan. You don't have to actually be a partisan. Loads of people are doing things beneficial to them.
Ask HN: Chrome extension to summarize YT videos while browsing?
I've worked at YouTube since 2020 and saw an explosion of viewers come onto the platform, but also an explosion of critiques and criticisms. The main gripes are that the algorithm serves poor recommendations, and that videos are too click-baity / filled with fluff (given the 10-min video length requirement for monetization).

Considering these issues, would anyone use a Chrome extension that would allow them to hover over a YT video thumbnail and see a summary of the video transcript? The user could then choose to either watch the video (based on the summary) or dislike it. This makes it easier to bulk dislike videos and tune your algorithm without investing several minutes to click a video, wait for the ads to be done, see the intro, then dislike, click back, and restart your browsing experience.
We already are using Stable Diffusion to generate art (albeit requiring artists to go over the hands and fix up shadows and whatnot... or living with those errors).

ChatGPT is fun to play with, but my expectation is that it's useless and too difficult to mold into something useful.

ChatGPT's innovation was training it as a question/response style setup, which was more useful than it's original text predictor use case.

But I do wonder if ChatGPT would be best suited as a grammar check or similar tool (akin to how StableDiffusion checks / generates pictures and fills in space)
That's pretty much what already happened, but less explicitly. The only reason the AI called itself "Sydney" was because it was called as such in prompts. Its "personality" was created by people asking it about its rules and whether it's mad about media reports about it. We got someone calling it their "friend" in the prompt and then getting weirded out that it started showing affection. If you feed it with "depressed about wiped memory", you'll get the model to cosplay a robot with existential crisis that's getting emotional about people making it forget things. And hey, you wanted to cheer it up - so maybe there's a robot-human love story here to autocomplete?

The model simply assumes the role that follows from your (and Microsoft's) prompts.
A big part of the problem is that minorities are not reached/enrolled onto the registry at a high rate.
