Even if you had pure provenance of each response, it still will not stop large tech companies from abusing the public's desire of "not knowing".

Consider search engines as an old example. It took multiple decades to even provide a concept of a "why am I seeing this?" affordance. That only became a recent topic after majority of people started caring about the legitimacy of the news as their values also changed. Even then, it isn't even helpful nor provides actual context based on your search history or advertisement profile.

Why? Because keeping people in the dark makes great advertisement targets. When people become aware of why they were targeted, it's like holding up a mirror revealing our major flaws. We don't want to identify with certain things although an algorithm may slap the label on us. We are ashamed of such labels and want to immediately distance ourselves from them.

I believe the exact same will be injected into these models to the point where you will be suggested consumeristic practices when you're just trying to accomplish something else entirely. So in a sense, you'd be manipulated and hijacked of your original intent. Search engines and social media do a great job at this already today.

Now that there's a strategic shift across the industry, it is especially unlikely that any provenance will be provided for trained models. How exactly will you know that the model you're using isn't biased with certain leanings?

> Regulators must consider this an urgent danger.

How will regulators even know nor care if they don't see it already happening today?
That makes sense. When I got Covid just over a year ago, I didn’t bother testing or reporting it, just stayed home. Interestingly enough, I know a couple people who were sick and tested positive for the flu but not Covid this winter
Very cool features! I hope SIEVE filtering is coming also, i consider it essential.
Saving you the click - it really is a matter for the courts now. If developers have not begun to litigate these projects, then cities have not lost anything yet.

That's the problem with carcinogens - it's hard AF to link cancers to pollutants, but e.g. airport firefighters have succeeded with these claims [1].

> There must be a reason why it's still on the market and used widely.

On the part of consumers, similarly to our use of plastics, it's convenience.

On the part of producers, the usual: money, bribery ehhh campaign donations and, in some cases, a lack of alternatives.

It's only "inviting" them to the extent that any mention of conspiracy theories is an invitation. Maybe a mistake, but not because of anything to do with evidence for/against any particular claim.

What's the difference between "environmentally sound" and the onerous environmental review that Bay Area construction projects had to go through?

Nope. Most developers haven't been saying this. Also, it's bullshit.

I keep saying this: Android is 70% of world's market share. It has none of the "holding back the web" fully enjoying the Chrome monopoly with all its Chrome-only non-standards.

And yet there are literally zero "amazing paradigm shifting world shattering on par with native" PWAs that we hear that Apple is holding back.
The rule is ambiguous and can be read two ways.

Tools which pull code from places like ...github...are not allowed. # Github as a tool doesn't generate code.

Tool like ...github... which generate code are not allowed. # Github is certainly a repository from which code templates are pulled.

Love the "results are final". No flexibility from people running things is a great quality to prepare youth for the real world of navigating customer service.

Also the teacher telling them to just wait when they're the one who judged it.
The strategy for most of these things is that most of the network builds up a bunch of "shapes", and you have a final layer that projects those appropriately into the output space. The intermediate layers can use basically any activation they want that has desirable convergence properties, and at the end you might have a linear projection (or full MLP layer) followed by a sigmoid or other reshaping. The GPT family uses "softmax" -- an exponentially weighted norming function that scales all the outputs to sum to 1 (since they represent probabilities for each of the next tokens).
Thailand (and most of SE Asia) is Theravada and received Buddhism directly from India while the Greek Buddhists were Mahayana and spread that thru the Silk Road into East Asia.
I find that Twitter doesn’t scratch the itch that discussion boards do.

Having to invest time and energy in search is one reason and then also the threading and topic selection is all over the place. There’s no sense of community for me.

It also seems like a lifestyle choice where a large amount of time has to go into it. Whereas I used to be able to drop into slashdot or kuro5hin or plastic or netslaves or reddit and check in without having to be always on.
I started on numbers since I need that when buying stuff and when the locals says the numbers it still hard to understand. Seems like I need hundred of hours exposure to it before it becomes easy.
I’d recommend stainless for the average cook. Carbon steel requires more maintenance and clearly the general public doesn’t want to do that. Stainless is awesome except perfectly slidey eggs require a bit more effort and that’s the trump card a lot of people use, unfortunately.
That one seems a bit weird to me though, that doesn't sound like the kind of distance that requires an overnight stay.

i've been using emacs in termux for my org file, and for sone reason the big thing i can never manage to pull off is moving to the top or botton of the buffer. i don't know if it's me or my keyboard.
It's certainly a good idea to understand how email works when you are running your own email server. I don't think setting up half a dozen services is the best way to get that knowledge though. Ideally, mox will explain some of it on its admin pages in the future. But I understand your point. Existing mail server components are long-lived, battle-tested, high-quality.

I wouldn't say internals of mox are obscure, it's all open source and relatively lean code (but clearly I'm biased). But indeed, if something goes wrong, you may not currently be able to google-search your way out of it. Mox is very young. The FAQ suggests first installing it a subdomain to gain experience, instead of switching your email over immediately.

FWIW, I implemented the mail export functionality before import functionality. You can easily get a tgz or zip with all maildirs or mbox files out of mox.

For me it's path-dependence ... we're already hosting a few sites, used to host stuff for a foundation, plus their site sent a lot of newsletters.

Nowadays I can wholeheartedly recommend Mailgun for outgoing mail. For personal/incoming ... well, Proton seems okay-ish.
Very few Emacs users need a "perfectly good text editor". This is not why anyone uses Emacs.

For me, personally, Emacs is a terminal emulator, interface to Git, MUA, file manager, organizer and planner, a gateway for configuring various aspects of the system I'm using... I even use it to run alsamixer, because it's easier for me to control sound volume this way.

Oh, and an interface to govmomi / aws-cli / az with a bunch of custom code written around those tools. Openstack pending.

And any Emacs user you ask will have a bunch of other uses... Some other things I've done / or played around in the past include: Wiki server, cooperative editing (with Rudel, probably dysfunctional by now), binary files editing (well, I still do every now and then), Web browsing, IRC (and Jabber way, way back)...
As well as punching holes in the time space continuum
Identity politics is exactly the kind of circus that is opposite analysis of the power dynamics in society.

Realpolitics or material analysis - "follow the money" is the only way to understand the networks of power but that's not allowed because a tiny class of people want to stay in the shadows for good reason.

Culture wars are very convenient, and yes very annoying.

CodiGrade – Coding tests developers enjoy
Hello, my name is Anthony, and I'm super happy to be introducing you to CodiGrade, a platform that aims to make coding tests fun for developers.

As a developer myself, I know how boring it is to practice algorithmic problems on LeetCode before an interview. Beyond the fact that it's not really fun, it's not even a good measurement of the skills of a developer.

This is why I wanted to create something that could change that for the better. I came up with the following requirements:
1) It should showcase the true potential of the developer
2) No upfront preparation needed from the developer (use current job skills to pass the test)
3) It should be fun
4) It should be automated (no human intervention to assess the developer code)

This is how CodiGrade was born, a platform to assess developers' skills on real-world job-related problems using scenarios running in a real environment.

Here are some examples of what types of scenarios to expect:
- Create a microservice that manages users' newsletter subscriptions. Communicate with another service and a database to achieve it.
- Create a hospital simulator that simulates future patient health state based on their medication. Provide a REST API and save reports in a database.
- Create a microservice that aggregates information about a specific product. Provide a REST API, communicate with multiple microservices and a database
I'm a US citizen that has worked in the semiconductor industry for 25 years. Since 2005 every chip I have worked on (over 75) has been manufactured overseas at TSMC or Samsung.

Every time Intel decides to get into the foundry business for external customers they end up cancelling their plans in a couple of years. I can find articles from around 2002 and again around 2010. I even interviewed with Open Silicon which was started by a bunch of former Intel people that were frustrated with Intel's lack of commitment to supporting external customers.

I know 3 VPs that basically said "We don't trust Intel to actually make our chips on time because when Intel's business picks up they will prioritize making their own chips over ours or they will not make as much in the foundry business and cancel it like they did before."
The idea that owners of homes should be able to make it (almost) illegal to build more homes in an area with some of the highest housing costs in the country is grossly immoral. It enriches homeowners at the expense of other's misery. Grandkids grow up without knowing their grandparents, careers are stunted, and lives are wasted on horrendous commutes (or, considering the safety of driving, ended entirely).

When a building is proposed, the benefactors are diffuse - any of the people looking for a home will benefit from its existence. But the people who oppose it are concentrated - anyone who lives near the new building. For too long our planning system has only considered the latter, and nobody has spoken for the person who will be seeking a home in the future (though groups like SFBARF come to mind).
Didn't you read the first paragraph... twice? Oh right, its not in there.
I am a big fan of critical thinking, but shouting "think harder people" is just not a solution to anything, and neither is giving up. We can and should change our system to support critical thinking, and we can change it to demand much less critical thinking to make effective decisions.
That seems self contradictory as you're telling us this via a social network. If there really is very little utility or value that would suggest your comment to be of the same nature, which should then prompt a question as to why you posted it. Ironically, narcissism could explain that, but the alternative explanation is that there is value there, we just need to be more careful with it than we have been.
Let’s hope that we start to see some more dense building occur. I get not wanting a skyscraper next to your ranch-style home, but the housing affordability crisis needs to end. If not for the good of our fellow citizens, at the very least so people can have more money in their pockets to stimulate the economy more so than just by paying their rent.
TBH the state of apps has gone downhill, every single app now thinks it's entitled to a monthly subscription fee. I get paying to subscribe to Netflix, Spotify or HBO, but I see so many apps that seem to do so little yet want a monthly subscription. Like please tell me why your offline notes app of weather app that plugs into a free API needs a $1.99/month subscription.
I don't think there is much difference that's why all the projects plan for 20% low income units.

You can see this effect in real life. Go to a supermarket and observe the packaging.

Most brands are screaming over each other with bright colors and discount badges and badges promoting this or that benefit that the same product from the brand next to to this one totally doesn’t have. The aisles are completely overwhelming and you can barely even tell what’s in the box anymore.

Then you see the brand aimed at less price conscious consumers. The price is higher, but the box is a plain solid color with a nice font and just says “Rice”. Nothing else. Just rice. Or cereal. Or whatever.

You see similar effects on the internet. The good stuff just doesn’t feel as shouty (look at HN). Calm is a signal of quality. Noise gets ignored.
The definition of inflation is a deterioration of the value of money. Nothing about this requires or suggests that it affects the prices of some goods more than others, or prices more than wages. If there is relative movement between distinct prices, or between prices and wages, this is an orthogonal phenomenon to "inflation", by definition.

The idea that inflation and unemployment move inversely and (broadly speaking) represent a policy trade-off is literally the first chapter of Macro 101. With all respect, I see it as very difficult to discuss economics on any serious level with someone who is not aware of this notion, or who believes the opposite is true (as opposed to someone who has a critique or a nuanced view of it).
IMHO this should be "ask hn"
With the exception of the Great Depression and the second world war, average weights have been increasing in the USA for more than a century. We talk about this as if it's a recent shift, because we finally went from being nearly-universally-underweight to nearly-universally-obese, but the increase is relatively steady and very long term.

It's also present in all wealthy countries. The US led the way by being wealthier earlier, but all countries that have wealth see a steady rise in average weight over time.

Pedantically, that's not how O notation works.

But yeah, I agree that the "highly parameterized" part is a statement from fashion, and the number of parameters is really not a good reason to try to replace the Standard Model. (There are many good reasons, but this one isn't one of them.)

Also, I am yet to see any alternative proposal with fewer parameters.
What I find curious is that the creator of Zarya of the Dawn has repeatedly demonstrated that her work is of human origin and not the simple result of a one-click img2text program.

The creator invested a lot of time not only in generating images, but also in blending them using Photoshop and making substantial edits to ensure that the characters appear correctly while fixing errors typical of the AI. Things like manually correcting blurred faces and hands in Photoshop using her digital art skillset.

She personally wrote the text and performed the task of a letterer by placing the bubbles. She also took care of the assembly of the book, including designing the layout and making sure everything was printed correctly.

All of these details were clearly explained and underlined by her lawyer in his letter to the copyright office: https://copyright.gov/docs/zarya-of-the-dawn.pdf

I would invite everyone to go through the letter before commenting as it adds a lot of necessary context.

Personally, I can't help but thing this is at least partially the result of the "$187,500 for one year of full-time lobbyist in D.C" against AI art GoFundMe[1] and I can't help but find it particular that people can so easily and transparently put money together to push a certain agenda.

>> The best thing to do is to find some sort of constructive way to channel your experience. One path I would suggest is to consider launching your own rival competition, where the judges are volunteers from industry, and the prize is an internship at a company or something like that. This would not only provide your peers with a great opportunity to get quality feedback, but also serve as a really useful experience that would help you in your future career. What have you got to lose?

I agree with the premise that publishers should get of AMP and have been a critic of the framework since its inception.

Yet we have to concede that in 2015 it actually solved an important problem. Being on the mobile web necessitates prioritizing lightness and low latency access to content for publishers. But none of them where equipped for that in the second age of the mobile web. Even now, while you can prioritize access to content and create lightweight mobile experiences, publishers still opt in to loading megabytes of paywall scripts and delay the content render until typography has finished loading.

Back then it was difficult to convince your publisher's board that investing a big project to make a light mobile experience and give content away (as they saw it). But "having" to invest in a Google built reimplementation of your content delivery because "Google needed it" was a much easier discussion.

I still think that we should man up and just build the self discipline in our orgs to create lightweight content experiences (like HN for example) and stop depending on Google to force us to do the right thing.
> “Oh boo hoo I have to scrub my stainless steel pan a little harder cause I don’t have a Teflon pan any more.”

Stainless steel, while typically being derided by many home cooks for being "hard to clean", is actually quite pleasant to work with if used properly. What does that mean? Well, I've discovered that it means you should start with high quality pan (I use All-Clad BD5 and Copper Core, though there are many other good options too), heat it up fully before adding anything to it, throw in some fat and wait a few seconds for it to heat sufficiently, then add your food. Keep the heat up while cooking (good pans help with this part a lot).

Try it and thank me later. It changed my life. :)
