Given the context, they seem to be using it to refer to direct-to-the-people stimulus payments, because Sanders is a Socialist and advocates for more such payments. (Though oddly non-pejoratively, based on their phrasing.)
Since unsoundness is a property of an interface, that private safe function would be unsound but could be used as part of the implementation details of a sound public API.

It's not something I would do personally, and would be something I'd put down as a black mark against using a library as a dependency, but it's nowhere near as bad as doing the same thing on a public API.
We've recently hired a bunch of ex-Googlers (as well as Twitter-ers and other laid off people). They seem to spend most of their time making sure everyone here knows they're ex-${big_name} and how awesome things were there and we should change everything to do it the same way. It's a bit of a put-off.

This isn’t necessarily true. There’s a wide variety of reasons for which diagnoses of mental illnesses would vary greatly. Equating Psychology to hard sciences is naive. It is the softest of sciences, but labeling it as non-science would be ridiculous.

I personally think Psychiatrists in particular have one of the most difficult jobs as physicians. It’s made worse for patients by the fact that a poorly performing Psychiatrist has many scapegoats behind which to hide.

Unfortunately I spend a lot of time around mentally ill folk, myself included. A good dose/choice of medication and a good therapist-client-match work modern miracles on people, and it’s very easy to see when you’re around it. It’s very similar to a surgery with a low success rate.

>It's not the AI that's the issue, it's the use of it that's the problem

No. It's the AI. Humans are not psychologically capable of interfacing with something whose goal is to appear convincingly human, that can be hugely scaled and that is very unpredictable.

We are currently dealing with a huge number of people who are distraught and grieving because a company changed their product because they developed relationships with a sexy chatbot. This isn't going to stop, and it is not worth the potential benefits, because we have clear examples of harm already.

We won't need backwards incompatible advancements in this space for awhile, you seem grumpy that the EU is doing good for consumers rather than mega corporations.
I think the point is that EU's attempt to shape internet policy is not going to get far if most companies with whom the consumers actually interact are not from EU. "Should" doesn't enter into it.
But that's not important in the beginning and will likely lead to over engineering.
As ever, this is the kind of problem I find more fun in programming a computer to solve than in solving myself, by hand. But this is a fun implementation! Good controls, too - it only took me two tries to land, which is better than I ever managed with an Apple II and a keyboard as a kid.

> We know inflation should start decreasing within a year or so, but you cannot predict how millions of people will react to suddenly not being able to afford stuff.

If people in aggregate are suddenly unable to "afford" things, then you're not talking about inflation. People (again, in aggregate) have more money (not wealth) than they did a few years ago, which is what "inflation" means. On average, it's a rescaling, nothing changes.

Now, individuals may be hurt or helped[1] by this aggregate rescaling. But it remains a rescaling, and if you try to interpret it the way you just did you're going to get your predictions wrong every single time.

[1] FWIW: if you hold a mortage or any other large non-inflation-indexed loan, you should be cheering for inflation to dilute your debt. Most US homeowners are coming out ahead. They don't explain this well on the news networks though.
FYI this is something you can even do with printer dots
I dont understand the argument that it would hurt first amendment rights. There are so many alternatives, reels, shorts, twitter and reddit have their own version.

Thats like saying banning facebook messenger hurts first amendment rights. It doesnt, I can simply use another app that is the exact same thing.
> I find it hard to believe that you can "free-ly" send e-mail to, say, 100,000 e-mails and actually have it get delivered at a high rate? I would love to learn if I'm wrong though.

The company I work for has an outbox feature which supports this and it was a non-trivial problem to solve. We ended up using sparkpost with a bunch of modifications to isolate potentially bad actors (i.e., clients who pay for our software but send what is basically spam) to an individual sending pool. We also have CSMs that handle this and help to coach clients to not send spam.

Some of the cheating using AI methods right now is very obvious because the writing is so poor. (For example, it's making things up, falling flat on argument, or using a grade school essay style.)

But what happens if generated poor content like this becomes a high percentage of what people are reading?

Will people start unconsciously mimicking the styles in their own writing? (This might be at least a temporary effect, as a technical writer mentioned they'd seen in their own work during a period they were reading Hunter S. Thompson heavily. Getting a bit punchy for tech doc.)

And will people's cognitive and expression abilities outright decline? (Perhaps because they're exposed to lots of generated examples of argument and other communication, or because they leaned on an AI-method tool, rather than go through the thinking and perhaps learning exercise themselves?)

Maybe these effects will begin, and even be noticed, but rather than try to fix it, society will just lower its standards, and then others will try to profit on the problem existing and continuing to exist? (Look at journalism and political discourse. Or at software development.)
WPF will always have a warm place in my heart. It was the perfect skill to have as an undergrad looking for an internship because so many dev teams have annoying problems that can be solved with a simple software tool. I just specialized in fixing these types of problems throughout my college years with WPF and was able to build a strong resume before graduation.

I’m a Swift developer now. Learning Swift UI definitely brings back a lot of those memories. WPF was ahead of the curve for declarative interface programming.

What if you smooth the gradient, either by interpolating/removing data points that make the surface "jagged", or maybe change the "window" of gradient descent, meaning instead of using a tangent (derivative, infinitesimally small window) you use a secant (???, window of specified length, likely calculated from the data space).

Forgive my lack of proper terminology here.

1. Yes, most people will tell you not to host your own email, because its too complicated/difficult to get your mail delivered reliably.

A lot of this is FUD. Yes, email is a bit more difficult to get right than say, hosting a web app behind Nginx. It's an old protocol, with many "features" bolted on years later to combat spam.

I'm not sure how email is easier to "hack," unless there is a zero day in Postfix or something. Back in the day, lots of script kiddies would find poorly configured mail servers that were happy to act as an open relay...maybe the stigma persists?

To deliver mail reliably, you need 4 things (in my experience):

- A static, public IP address with a good reputation (ie, not on any spam blacklists)

- A reverse DNS record that resolves back to your mail server's IP

- A domain SPF record that says that your mail server is allowed to deliver mail

- DKIM records and proper signing of outgoing messages (DMARC records help too)

2. I have a residential cable internet connection, but pay extra for static IPs. You can probably get by with a dynamic IP and some kind of dynamic DNS service, as long as you don't want to send email. You could still receive email locally if your MX recorded pointed to some kind of dynamic DNS record.

Note that some ISPs explicitly block outbound traffic on port 25 due to spammers. You might need to check with yours.

3. The only things I expose to the internet are Postfix (to send/receive emails), XMPP (to chat with others), and my web server. Everything else (calendar/contacts, IMAP, Syncthing, etc) stays behind my firewall, accessible only to internal hosts. I use wireguard on my Android phone to access these services seamlessly when I leave the house.

I've never bothered to conceal my IP address. For awhile, I experimented with using Mullvad VPN for all my egress traffic. Unfortunately I spent all day solving CAPTCHAs...wasn't worth it (for me, anyway).

EDIT: I should add, that I also have a "normie" email address at one of the usual providers that I use for really important things like bank accounts / utility providers. If I get hit by a bus, I don't want my (very nontechnical) wife to deal with sysadminning on top of my early death.

For all our personal communications though, we use my selfhosted email domain.

"like dieting" may be an improvement over nothing, but it's a far cry from "better diet".

This is a technological fix to a personal (or societal problem) which doesn't address the underlying problem. At least "dieting" requires you to face the problems in what you eat and how much exercise you do, this takes even that away.
Exactly. COVID deaths and retirements pulled the demographic curve forward. “It’s the demographics stupid,” with apologies to James Carville.

Paper is on the arXiv…
Mostly good article: and totally agree that leetcode style interviews under intense time pressure are a wasteful plague on the industry. A good web developer could go through a bunch of interviews without ever once discussing designing APIs, HTTP requests, web security, or any one of a 100 practical topics which they deal with nearly daily, but might be asked to solve a pile of different leetcode questions (99% of which are close to irrelevant for the vast majority of typical day to day web-development).

If I could give one minor persuasive writing critique to the author of this article though, I'd suggest not emphasizing inclusivity (which is basically bog standard, meaningless corporate drivel by now), but emphasizing that changing the typical interview pattern ensures that you're casting the widest possible net for talent. There's business people out there that couldn't give half an ounce of care for doing a solid for whatever the heck they might think a neurodivergent is, but if you emphatically frame this a bit different (solely as the company missing out on talent) I think the argument instantly becomes a lot more appealing to a pretty large group in the business world.

"Eight of the Iranian democracy movement’s prominent diaspora leaders presented a united vision for Iran’s future for the first time since the 2022 uprisings began at a summit hosted by the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security (GIWPS).

The diverse group — which included actresses Nazanin Boniadi and Golshifteh Farahani, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Shirin Ebadi, activists Masih Alinejad and Dr. Hamed Esmaeilion; former soccer captain Ali Karimi, former crown prince Reza Pahlavi, and Kurdish leader Abdullah Mohtadi — plans to produce a joint charter by the end of February."
Warning to anyone interested in Vault. Vault policies involve a learning curve. Maybe they have improved documentation and examples since I learned Vault management but I remember how complicated and time consuming it was.
I have driven both gas and diesel vehicles for over 20 years, from small cars to bulldozers, and had all different kinds of them fail spectacularly at the worst moments. I have got gas at places where they accidentally put diesel in the gas tanks, diesel from places that had water ingress, rods thrown through the side of the block 1,000 miles away from home, you name it. I don't own an electric vehicle but I don't think anyone that does is under the impression that they would be completely problem free. It seems strange to me that a couple hundred thousand cars burn to the ground ever year in the US but all the news stories focus on the handful of EV fires. I also find it suspicious that the slightest problems they have are simultaneously written about by dozens of news sites with nearly the same wording. I don't have any skin in the EV game, but it's hard not to notice the bias against them. It would be interesting to see where the money flows to and from in all this reporting.
You can't fail at "A Short Hike" or "Goose Game". Games without losing are great for young players like 5-year olds, who get frustrated when they can't time that jump just right.
After getting hooked by DHH’s “Blog in 10 minutes” (or whatever it was at the time, 2008 or so), I spent a few days in Denver with Mike and Dave (and Nicole!) for Pragmatic Studio’s Rails crash course, and that really opened my eyes to how powerful the framework could make me. But when I was done with those few days, I spent so much time feeling like I couldn’t figure things out, or like I wasn’t productive enough as a programmer. I think RailsCasts was mostly responsible for getting me past that.

It was so helpful to follow along with Ryan as he explained his decision making processes, and how he would solve specific problems. Prior to then, all I really had was self-experimentation, and a lot of great books that seemed to get out of date faster than they could be printed. Even today it’s still a huge help to have Chris Oliver and Dave Kimura sharing their expertise, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned in 15 years of web development, it’s that I need whatever help I can get to stay on top of what is currently going on.

So thank you Ryan, I am looking forward to Part 2 of the series.

I hope Valve will release an updated SteamDeck with a new SoC featuring Zen4 instead of Zen2 and RDNA3 vs RDNA2, all on the smaller 4nm process, as the current SoC is kind of holding it back a bit.

That would definitely boost performance and battery life. Wouldn't mind it if came with a price increase, as it would still be cheaper than a single high end GPU alone.
more time together get home also means more time for conflict. most relationships - i would say - are highly depending on not spending too much time together.

Yes, this is the problem. This is a decision plex inc. made when deciding their business risk appetite. If your company hasn't threat modeled working from home at this point, there is not much you can do to help. Due diligence and due care have failed you.
I think it can but I wouldn't call it a miracle. The "boomer bulge" in the workforce is in the process of entering retirement en masse. The generations replacing them are smaller. This will contribute to higher inflation (lots of money that was sitting in real estate and 401ks being withdrawn to compete over a limited supply of basic goods and services like healthcare), and also to lower unemployment.

It doesn't necessarily mean we are experiencing a miracle and will have higher living standards, I promise it is quite possible for a nation to banish unemployment but still have a majority of people struggling to get by.

That being said, I think we haven't seen the full effect of higher interest rates yet, we are just getting started with that.

Europeans love technology, but they also love other things, like privacy and equitable outcomes. There is plenty of computer industry in Europe, it is just not as focused on consumer brands.

> The credit score system already in place in the US is frequently as arbitrary in some cases already. You get punished for just looking at it. I don't think I need to preach to HN about that (crypto money and all that). Does Europe do it much differently?

Almost every country has some kind of credit reporting system, but many of them differ from the US in how they do it. In particular, in many countries, credit bureaus only hold negative information such as failing to pay bills or repay debts – which means if you keep up to date with all your bills and debts, your credit history will be blank. At which point, lenders will generally ask you to provide evidence of your employment history, salary, bank balance, assets, etc, and base their lending decision on that. They may well internally convert that all info into a "score", but every lender is going to have a different scoring system. Here's an article – https://www.businessinsider.com/credit-score-around-the-worl... – which discusses the systems used in different countries, including several European countries. There is no uniform approach to this in Europe – the UK and Germany are closer to the US in their approach, the Netherlands, Spain and France are closer to the "credit bureaus hold negative info only" system.
It’s because we don’t follow it up with shunning and shame if a pregnancy occurs. Essentially cancel culture Victorian style.

So of course if you tell kids not to fuck and they have a million outlets to help burden the consequence then it’s a non-functional system not in coherence with todays reality. Living in the past is useless. But it doesn’t mean the values of the past are bad. Just incompatible with modern society.

The problem with black boxes is that they beg parallel construction theories.

I.e. "We don't approve loans to {ethnic majority} on purpose. We only use our models, which only rely on historical data." -> No proof, no case, no problem

The point of any AI law should be to put the onus on the model executor to explain how their model doesn't violate existing law.

You can use any model you want, but you can't point to its unexplainability as a free pass for ignoring protected classes.

And if you can't explain its results? Well, then you're opening yourself up to lawsuits.
There's nothing to discover cause it's not a secret: be more active, eat better & less food.

Don't have a clear picture of what "better" mean? That's also simple. Look at what people were eating 100 years ago, and how much physical activity they were doing then.

Or, look at other countries across the world today.
