You should install one of the many referrer removal addons and enable it for hacker news. For example: https://github.com/airtower-luna/referer-mod

If you're going to browse a website that's known for being full of awful tech-bros, racists, and fans of paul graham, it's usually best to avoid advertising that to the rest of the internet.

Most sites are too lazy to do anything based on referrer, but there are several sites out there that go the extra mile to put out a welcome mat to people coming from this wretched site.
There was a LOT of negotiation with the various regional providers that went into this.
> The current distribution mechanisms (wonderful softwares like gitea) let people mirror, but if the primary host goes down there's no easy fall-over.

The DNS system is decentralized and updates take seconds. We’ve seen this for decades with things like open source projects when someone gets tired of hosting it.

> Your post makes it sound like a government can snap it's fingers & every relay will magically stop carrying content: that seems wildly out of touch to me

Look at what happened with the TornadoCash guys — once legal action was taken, how many exchanges would allow transactions to or from their addresses? This would be similar: once enough people start using it, someone will do something illegal, and then governments are going to start telling server operators in their jurisdictions to stop allowing that traffic if they don’t want to be charged as accessories. Since those guys don’t want to go to jail or have their servers packed up by federal marshals, they’ll figure out whatever is necessary to block certain keys.

Something like Nostr might make it slightly easier to replicate things or provide a less antiquated key management system than GPG but it won’t be a game-changer but an incremental improvement at best.

I think this effort here is both overstating the problem of using GitHub and understating the challenges of replacing it. People use GitHub because running servers is a chore they don’t want to deal with. Relatively few people are donating hosting and the ones who do generally aren’t interested in hosting the few types of content which GitHub bans, either. They’re certainly not going to go to jail rather than help the police who tracked something illegal to their IPs.
My issue with Cue is that there's no actual way to use it as a schema. At least I couldn't find a way to have one cue document link to another cue document so that e.g. IDEs can use the information.

Also the only language Cue supports is Go at the moment which makes it a bit of a non starter IMO.

It does have a quite elegant design, but I'm not sure it really solves enough to be worth the hassle, especially given that it doesn't attempt to solve the "make config less tedious using functions" problem.
I sometimes wonder if rich people pay tutors to test prep their stupid children simply because they don't want their kids knowing they only got into a good school because of corruption.
> It's unclear to me why a tourist not using a car is worse than a local not using a car.

You need to give people an incentive to buy an annual ticket. If an annual ticket costs 365x the price of a day pass, then nobody would buy it, because it would be cheaper to buy day passes.

It's better if people have annual tickets, because then they have an incentive to take public transport every time -- otherwise they would see the price every day and would maybe take the car more often.

However, I do agree with you that public transport is too expensive for occasional users, and a lot of people might be more motivated to switch to public transport if it wasn't so expensive for occasional use. (and if there was a single ticket type instead of a dozen different types of tickets...)

At first, I was living in the 3-plex and renting out the other two units, so I figured it made sense to do it myself. I didn't account for the fact that selecting my own tenants without experience meant choosing awful neighbors, nor that I wouldn't even be able to go after them for damage after I evicted them because they knew where I lived and I couldn't trust them not to vandalize my things further.

When I moved away, I tried to hire a property manager, but as I only had 3 fairly low-priced units, none of the established managers would take me on. I naively hired someone who had strong references, but for commercial real estate, not residential, and she made the whole process such a nightmare that I gave up and sold my units. (It had become impractical to step in for her when she failed over and over again.)

Once bitten, twice shy, as they say. I took the 50% increase on the value of the property and the 3 years of covered housing expenses combined with massive internal resistance as a pretty good sign that I didn't like the process even when it was profitable.

I might try again someday, but I value the lack of stress an awful lot.
Same for Dresden-Leipzig. I usually take the ICE since I have a Bahncard 100. In addition to the real time saved, it also feels a lot faster if you're not stopping every 5 minutes.
NURBs are more high-level compared to triangles. Single triangle primitive cannot be ill-defined and is much easier to rasterize. There are other high level contenders - for example SDFs and voxels. Instead of branching out the HW to offer acceleration for each of these, they can all be reduced to triangles and made to fit in modern graphics pipeline.

It's like having a basic VM, high-level languages are compiled to the intermediate representation where things are simpler and various optimizations can be applied.
I was a regular on grex from the mid-90's to the mid-00's. It was a different time and a different world, both technically and socially. Every user (accounts were free and anonymous) got *nix shell access and email. Their old (but pretty feature-rich) conferencing system (think bbs) was the social center of the place. Non-profit, volunteer-run, and (IIR) the only real perk to being a "member" (small monthly donation required) was voting for Board members.

As the internet took off, their little high-trust system attracted more "un-benevolent, un-interested in improving" sorts of users. That wasn't so good for attracting/retaining good staff & users. Ditto the "bright lights, big city" allure of big-name web sites, for citizens of grex's "small town".
Are We Our Actions?
In other places in the past, it was often done by bribing an official to ignore a wire transfer. Today in China? I don't know.
It makes editing JSON in IDEs way way nicer. Worth it for that alone IMO.
Screwdrivers don't suffer from the alignment problem. The issue with LLMs is that the criteria for success in their training are proxies for the actual behaviours we want to achieve. Therefore there is the risk of misalignment between what the LLM is actually doing and what we intended it to do. This is not a theoretical risk, petty much all the misalignment pathologies AI researchers have been worrying about are exhibited by ChatGPT and other such models, in spades.

Basically very often the models find it easier to deceive us into accepting a pathological response rather than generating a genuinely correct response. Robert Miles' Youtube channel is required viewing for anyone with an interest in this.
While LLMs will move the industry to well defined specs in English that are used to generate code and tests ranging from unit, integration and end-to-end, I don’t see the end of the role of humans in this process. I see the continued rise of the product engineer who is fully capable of interacting with stakeholders and customers while also having the time and energy to produce working software.

The singularity seems pretty far off and the current LLM techniques will change drastically over the coming years… Algol families exist but we’ve well beyond those abstractions.

One thing I’ve noticed is that LLMs will eventually run in to Syntax errors or other logical errors and halt on their own. I’ve been calling it the non-halting problem and intuitively it seems as though this will be a rather large hurdle to overcome!

There’s a certain amount of computational thinking required by a developer required to understand how the computer is interpreting code that seems missing from the capabilities of both LLMs and symbolic interpreters like traditional computers.
Same for Germany. My region (about 30km from one end to the other) charges about twice as much currently as this nationwide ticket will cost.

And that's not to speak of the Netherlands where you'll pay a few hundred a month for this service, regional subscriptions aren't a thing, though you can buy a subscription per route (those aren't cheap per km either).
Pretty much every developed country outside the US. Along with universal healthcare, it is considered a marker of a well functioning state (monopoly on violence).
Interesting logic! Even with the sunk cost of car, insurance, etc. it'd still have to be significantly cheaper or quicker for me to use it over a train, on which I can do other things. (I suppose its privacy is something, but not worth as much to me as the freedom to read or close my eyes.)
I would replace the fans, to start with. The 550 could take extra RAM (see https://taoofmac.com/space/com/cobalt/raq550 and https://taoofmac.com/space/com/cobalt/faq), and it was possible to get a decent(ish) kernel on it.

Alternatively, consider getting a cheap Celeron N5105 mini PC (or two - two should fit in the case) and adapting the PSU for it… Might be a fun project if you can do it non-destructively.
That would be strange for a traditional Chinese art that's probably sold at airports and gift shops.
I'm just scared that internet bots are gonna get really, really good. Every comment on Reddit will be fake, every match on Tinder will be a really realistic bot, etc. But I guess they won't be using ChatGPT, just LLMs in general.
You know, this conversation had given me a short story idea. I wonder if anyone's written anything like this.

Humanity produces an intelligent mathematical AI. It starts by solving already solved problems, then leaps to relatively simple unsolved problems, then leaps directly to solving any problem that can be defined to it, including problems that humanity has battled for centuries. It even will give fully consistent proofs and the small group of researchers we're following are astounded. The resident proof experts say that the proofs it's giving are strange and sometimes inelegant but always logically sound. They go about proving many different problems until eventually someone disagrees with the request, saying obviously this one isn't true, it's logically impossible, it won't be able to prove it. But then the machine does, and gives a perfectly valid and consistent proof that to the highest of humanities knowledge, appears correct. Then the mathematician requests it to prove the inverse to explore his fault logic, and again the ai spits out a fully consistent and valid proof, for the opposite condition. No one can find any fault in either proof. They go through asking it to prove all the opposite conditions as they had requested earlier and it always outputs intelligent and fully self consistent proofs. No one can find a flaw in anything it outputs, even when it outputs conflicting information. It's as if it's playing on some higher plane, able to just toy with the absolute maximum of human knowledge to make the results look like anything it wants. Our once thought rigorous foundation is easily thrown away by the machine. Everyone claps and looks scared. The end
I read the text but for me it was not clear the following: does this include intercity trips or "only" a plain ticket within the city?
Nugget is realtively newish. Never heard of a Red until now, or a bill, a £100 was sometimes called a ton. Monkey comes from Indian currency, I think the 500 rupee had a monkey on it. Never heard of a Bag. A common one in my time was a Jackson for a £5, as in Jackson 5.
You have discounts for locals--at least for those using a system on a day-to-day basis. But you also see various discounts for tourists--I assume to entice people to visit in the first place. (I actually expect that so many factors go into deciding to rent a car vs. taking trains/buses that transit discounts probably don't factor in that much.)
That's why it's even more impressive it took off in Germany which is normally very protective of its car industry.
If it's good. We can leverage it, if it's not, what's the problem? That medium bar people or systems will rely on it and produce medium bar software?

There's already a lot of that through outsourcing and bad decisions and incentives.

Right now it's definitely not that good to be a real aid to a software developer who knows his stuff but will probably help brainstorm when something is obscure, badly documented or unclear.

People who don't know the subject matter will be impressed because they won't be able to judge the output but those who do know, will not be so impressed.

It exposes a lot of the unnecessary things (cover letters and corporate drivel) and that's laudable.

It's still a text in text out thing that can only do what it's trained on and not all the other sci-fi things people seem to think it is.

There's no need to overreact, even if definitely people without understanding of the tech and crazy for the latest buzzword will.
Eagerly awaiting the int8 vs 4 benchmarks. Also, it can run on CPU https://github.com/markasoftware/llama-cpu So, an int8 patch could allow the 65B to run on a standard 128 GB setup assuming the 65B model's cache bursts fit, which if I were to speculate is why the released models stop @ 65B & meta likely already has larger unreleased internal ones.
Our problems with ChatGPT will really begin when we start asking it to make decisions for us. The first ChatGPT related death will come very soon.
Cool, if you live near a rail line in a major city. Not everyone has that luxury. Im standing about 300km from the nearest passenger rail setvice. It is 0530, -25c, and i am about to drive 18km to work (government/military). Trains or even busses are a distant concept here.
Question to stone-havers, wouldn't using tamsulosin/flomax make sense when trying to pass stones. I'm surprised to see only one mention to this in all the comments here. Perhaps it's not as helpful as I'd expect?
Still great for everyone who just cannot afford a ICE ticket or even a car. And there is a huge in-between area between local connections and long distance. There are a lot of medium distance connections, where the time difference isn't that large and which become suddenly "free" for those ticket owners.
I'm more 50/50 on it than you.

I have a feeling it will take a few years at a minimum to see reliable, trustworthy, accurate, useful ways of using it.

But I do agree it's adapt or die (if not now, eventually)
Wait , you’re serious ?
Inter-City Trips are covered as long as you take the slower "regional-Bahn". They usually don't go long stretches so you have go change multiple times on long legs .

The actual high speed intercity lines are not covered.
To be honest, this notational tool of thought feeling I really don't have with any of the popular languages. It is indeed like a natural language you are learning or one you are fluent in; when you are learning you have to translate to your native language all the time; when you are fluent, it just flows. That's the difference. I used to have it with Basic, C and Pascal, but never as much as with apl/k. Even those are recent for me. I had it with Prolog in university doing a major tract in symbolic NLP (my natural speech and dreams sometimes where in Prolog; that when talking with someone, I would actually just for clauses automatically). I find, personally, that joy of programming is vastly less using libraries than it is just having a fixed amount of functions and stdlib you know by hard and get fluent at.

But did you see / try BQN? I think it's an interesting attempt. And well built.
> Because public transit is primarily for the people who live there and pay taxes.

Public transport is transport for the public. This explicitly includes visitors. Tourism is a large part of the economy of most countries, and unless you are talking cities with over-tourism like in Amsterdam, getting rid of tourists is very much not what the people who live there (and who earn a living through tourism) want. Resolving congestion, improving air quality, and generally making cities more pleasant to live in, means getting as many people out of cars and into public transport, including tourists.
The quick run speed is great for shortening the feedback loop. I've had great experiences with Lisp-style environments for that reason, and the language is much higher level than Rust while still offering good performance. I've mainly used Quil, the Clojure wrapper around processing: https://github.com/quil/quil
How about we get a single return fare (even restricting to realistic commutes, not whole country) down to €49 before we worry about multiple use!
Also Marshall McLuhan (with references to earlier works, like Sapir 1933):

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_village

Also this sounds prescient:

> No chapter in Understanding Media, later books, contains the idea that the global village and the electronic media create unified communities. In an interview with Gerald Stearn,[16] McLuhan says that it never occurred to him that uniformity and tranquility were the properties of the global village. McLuhan argued that the global village ensures maximal disagreement on all points because it creates more discontinuity and division and diversity under the increase of the village conditions; the global village is far more diverse.

Maybe I'm old or insufficiently woke, but I don't see legacy or identity as substitutes for demonstrated learning. I see the decay of rigor and achievement as signals of decline of excellence and the crumbling of knowledge. The mythology of "everyone needs degrees" created a wealth transfer scam and a lowering of standards to sell more student loan debt for sheepskins. Maybe we need to throw away arbitrary employment requirements and make universities run on merit. Oh and there's a gender imbalance in most undergraduate programs where the bar is effectively higher for women because men aren't keeping up or have been left behind.
A big part of why there are so wildly differing accounts regarding punctuality of German trains is that a lot of the delay is limited to a few specific lines that are overloaded even on the regular schedule. Most of these lines are on the dense part of the long-distance network [1], around the Ruhr area and the Frankfurt area.

By contrast, I usually use routes in Eastern Germany, such as Dresden-Berlin-Hamburg/Rostock. These lines have been recently built and are not overloaded, so services are nearly always on time (or, at most, 10 minutes delayed) and connections are very reliable.

So is thinking of edge cases on your own before asking the question. The article itself even lists some already, if the commenter only read it:

> it is trained off of basically the entire internet without paying anyone involved

> This is fantastic technology that can enable so many things to be so much easier, and yet I can see it being used for such evil at the same time. I just keep looking at this, and I wonder what happens when someone tries to use it to radicalize people.
That... doesn't sound like a benefit? Why be surprised they didn't go for this? Guess I read a meaning into that comment (that it could have been better by changing a technicality about billing period) that wasn't there.
I have read is the successor of the 9 euro ticket. You travel between cities but only on certain RB trains, not on IC nor ICE.
Yes. But the bracketed part doesn't apply to this article IIUC because it is talking about chat logs which were "consciously" given. If the article was talking about web history assembled by ad tracking scripts than I can definitely agree that Meta and Google have a large portion of the blame.

early int4 experiments seem to indicate it's possible but you do lose performance, see this thread https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/11i4olx/d_...

edit: to clarify, it may be possible to get this loss back and there is reason to be optimistic
The political discussion has not ended with the introduction of the 49 Euro ticket. One still hears a lot of voices calling for a cheaper ticket, even down to zero Euros, or discounts for welfare recipients. The high price is due in particular to the fact that German federal budget is currently under great pressure, especially because of the consequences of inflation, increased arms spending and high costs of other social policy innovations (expansion of childcare subsidies). However, due to the popularity of the 9 Euro ticket, I would not be surprised when some parties are going to make a cheaper or free ticket a special issue in the next federal election campaign (probably in 2025).
Sounds like me. I occasionally get heartburn and worry that the Tums are a contributing factor but they are the only thing that provides consistent and immediate relief.

Stay hydrated and good luck!
Agree. Typical FP with ADTs would lead to the same kind of data-driven style. The point at which he went too far for me is probably the struct layout optimisation (every shape has two defining numbers, it feels a bit restrictive). For me that’s the point where I’d check whether it’s really warranted and if so create new types to distinguish the original domain (Shape) vs. number crunching (ShapeDefinedByTwoNumbers - needs a better name).

If I were you, I would apply for positions like the following ones in non-faang companies:

- Principal engineer

You have 15 years of experience and Microsoft in your CV. That’s all what it takes to impress non-faang companies. Research a bit what it takes to pass interviews for the positions listed above. Prepare yourself for a month or so and start applying. Fake it till you make it, you have all the “raw material” others would die for.

No. Nobody cares if my cheap white label Walmart laptop crashes on standby. I can open an issue on every distro on existence, nothing will happen, no kernel dev will suddenly go out, buy that same laptop, and fix standby.
>That it's also something that tourists can use is great, but you don't need to subsidize it for them.

Although many places do. There are often city passes of various sorts for tourists. There are JR Rail visitor-only passes in Japan. I'm sure there are other examples.
Are you sure about that? I can't remember where I saw the table of memory requirements, but I'm sure some of the larger instances here [1] will surely be able to cope (assuming they're available!)
