I only read the front page, but I can't figure out what "statically typed" even means in the context of lisp. If it isn't doing manifest value typing it's hard for me to call whatever it is "lisp"; it's something else with a lot of parentheses. Does it just mean once a symbol has taken a value of one type it can't ever take a value of another? What would the point of that limitation be?

I just bought an HP color laser printer this week. This despite knowing HP's shenanigans, but COSTCO has too good a deal and the wife really wanted a good modern printer (we have an HP 4Plus). I admit, it prints beautifully.

In the settings, there's a way to shutoff automatic updates, which I set. But I don't trust post-Corina HP at all and I wanted to firewall it from the internet.

It turns out my D-Link router is vastly more annoying than my printer. Unclear setting menus, no help or manual, and settings that appear to work will block every computer from the internet when the router is reset.

I hate the state of modern consumer electronics.

Here in Europe we do have the advantage that we don't share the same language, meaning that a child being abducted in Portugal or an immigrant raping a woman in Germany doesn't make headlines in Eastern Poland.

In contrast, in the US even small scale regional everyday crimes (not belittling rape here, just noting the fact that sexual crime is a regular occurrence!) can make national outrage.

Ask HN: How do you get out of the corners?
I feel I'm constantly painting myself in a career corner.

I'm now in my third in a row role/company that I hate. Maybe I hate this line of work. Dunno. I find it very difficult to bear with shitty colleagues each with his own agenda, trying to understand shitty designs and code made long before me, learning shit, drink the corporate cool-aid (always the same shitty taste regardless of the company), being an eternal newbie (in this job you remain that unless you are Peter-principled), sitting my ass in a fucking room all day long, and generally spending my life away in front of a screen just for fucking money (not even good money).

But I have a kid to raise and bills to pay.

Honest to God, I was in a hospital a few days ago and the workers there were cleaning old men shit, and whilst I wanted to throw up one part of me was yelling that what they did was MEANINGFUL whilst the shitty products I work in nobody gives a fuck whether they exist the next month (and probably the world would be a better place if they did stop to exist).

Sorry for the rant. Just looking for ways out/forward.
I agree with the parent comment, and don't understand why it's being downvoted.

Not beating a child is always the right course of action, regardless of whether there is left-handedness that one is trying to "correct".

The kind of "treatment" that someone undergoes for gender dysphoria is incredibly invasive and doesn't seem compatible with the maxim "first, do no harm" unless gender dysphoria were something that had severely negative health outcomes if untreated. Since gender dysphoria is a health issue that's psychological in nature, this needs to be measured against a baseline of psychological health issues actually being quite prevalent even in the general population.

Left-handedness is grounded in physiology and neurology, which are "hard" medical sciences, while gender dysphoria is only grounded in clinical psychology, which just isn't.

When I say "hard" medical science, I roughly mean this: Physiology and clinical psychology both have a history of iatrogenic horror. But for physiology, you need to go much further back in time to find it. And while health intervention on both physiological and psychological grounds have been on the rise, health outcomes on physiological conditions have generally improved through history, while the population seems to be getting sicker and sicker where psychological conditions are concerned.

Thatcher is what I like to call a "Marmite politician": either you absolutely loved her, or absolutely hated her. She was a politician of her time, by which I mean she was exactly the politician we needed at the time that we needed it. I doubt that any other politician could have achieved what she did in the UK. Everybody else would be too willing to compromise.
The incentives of capitalism are such that unless there are very strict regulations, it degenerates in what the game of monopoly tries to convey in a visceral manner. A few people will own everything at the cost of everybody else.

This depends on your jurisdiction and how it handles regulation of financial instutitions; in particular it depends on what regulatory rules there are that force a ringfencing between client assets and the assets of the financial instutition itself and that deter a struggling bank/brokerage from being tempted to "borrow" from the client funds. It also matters whether there's a compensation type scheme for the case where the institution did break the law and use client funds for its own purposes.

As a concrete example for the UK: I had an ISA (a tax-exempt share account) with a UK financial institution which went bust. The brokerage had correctly kept client and its own money separated, but it had burnt through all of its own money by the time it went into administration. Somebody has to pay the administrator's fees for correctly winding up the business and returning everybody's shares to them, and that somebody, it turns out, is the clients, if the finiancial institution itself has no assets left. Luckily the UK has a compensation scheme for individual private investors and the cost-per-client of the administration was less than the scheme limit, so effectively the result was "the government paid for this", so in the end I was not financially out any money. However, I did end up without access to the shares for the best part of a year until the administrator had found another brokerage willing to take on the customer base and the share holdings were transferred over.

You're getting a lot of downvotes and backlash because of the way that you're posting. I understand how you feel, though. It's very personal if you pour effort into something and people aren't interested. It plays with your sense of self-worth. It's a nasty feeling. It's easy to be bitter.

I'm not going to check out the site because I'm not interested in ML generation of websites, or even manual creation of them. I'm here because I'm interested in the discussion around LLMs. That doesn't mean it doesn't have value, though.

If you're going to follow this entrepreneurial path you need to develop a thick skin and learn to cope with rejection. You're going to get things wrong a lot, and a large amount of your effort will be "wasted" trying things that don't work out. You need to learn from your mistakes and understand your own strengths and weaknesses (eg. if you're not good at marketing, involve someone who is). If you want something where your efforts will reliably be rewarded you need to get a regular job instead.

I upvoted, fwiw.
One thing I can think of is there are possibly crypto tech companies with reserves/and/or opex runway there + general market jitters.

The backup plan is mostly having a backup key. The whole point is that there's a secret inside the key that can't be stolen, and that means there's no way of exporting it either. Most services I deal with allow registering multiple keys. Some like Paypal don't, but allow having both a key and TOTP so you can use TOTP as a fallback.

For convenient TOTP, you can try this one: https://www.themooltipass.com/

It mostly acts as a keyboard (bluetooth or USB). It supports TOTP, and will type it out for you. It has an internal battery and for TOTP the clock is set by the management application for it.
When Silicon Valley bank closes its doors, there will still be plenty of assets to give to account holders. I would guess nobody will lose more than 5-10% of what they had deposited.

So it is interesting that it is causing such panic.

Maybe it can still be called e2ee, but instead of having 2 ends you have 3.

Much like on a group where everyone involved in a group chat has access to the messages. With UK law, all 1 on 1 chats would turn into group chats: 2 people + UK law enforcement.

So it's not like everyone and your grandma will have access to your messages. It's you, the people you chat with and law enforcement.

But regardless, I still think this is stupid because not even governments can be trusted with our privacy, much less law enforcement. Not to mention leaks.

> In 20 years, 4.5% multiplies money by 2.4, those T-bonds will not multiply by 2.4, and SVB will slowly but surely end up in the hole.

But they wouldn't continue to pay 4.5% interest for 20 years would they? This is just a brief moment of high interest rates, so I think that's the main detractor from this argument. In other words, it's not like 4.5% APY on savings is anywhere close to the norm.

That was all hallucination.

It’s a forcing function. In the army people get shot and you fill the gap somehow. Same concept here. They squeeze and the remaining people deal with it as best they can.

Shocking abuse of power.
That's very unlikely. ChatGPT doesn't contain a full copy of everything it saw when it was trained - it has model weights that were updated by that training process.

It's very unlikely the model weights would contain enough detail to let it match content to the URL that the content originally came from.
QTractor. I used to master with Jamin but the master_me LV2 turns out to be easier to use (for me). I also use giada for live looping and mixxx for DJing, all of which work great on musl.
Maybe not for long, because for a given set of constraints to optimze for, there's probably a solution for which it can be proven to be optimal. At that point there's no more contest.
In normal life losing access to your phone won't lock you out of everything. You still have all your other devices you can use AND you can always just walk into store and buy yourself a replacement and download your phone back from a backup.

Same with laptops. If you go to a conference and your laptop breaks. You can just go to nearest store and buy a new one. It will take couple hours, but you'll be up and running again.

With security key if you lose it you lose access immediately to your stuff and you probably can not get a new one with in 24 hours even if money wasn't an issue. Also after you get the key there is no way to authenticate yourself to the key in a way that you can just make it a copy of your previous key.

Wallet is the best example. If you lose your wallet you need to kill your credit cards and get a new ID. However this does not lock you out of anything. You can go to your bank and take out whatever amount of money you need and order a new card, this will be inconvenient for about week. With your ID it depends on the schedules. However there is clear path to recovery.
I don't buy the "why would anyone volunteer for adversity" argument.

I thought this comment about what science is was also insightful because it explains simply Chomsky's problem with pseudoscientific approaches:

I believe your disagreements with Chomsky on politics does creep in to the discussion of AI and linguistics. Chomsky has never denied the success of ChaptGPT or google search or any of those things. The article of Norvig states this. But the core disagreement between Chomsky and his followers (such as myself) against those who prefer a statistical view of intelligence is that LLM or in fact the entire field of AI as it is right now has no real scientific basis compared to what exists in other scientific fields like physics or biology or chemistry. We don’t have a first principles of intelligence, hell we don’t even have bad theories of intelligence. Algorithms that form the basis of Google search or the statistical nature of LLM does not explain what is actually working in the real world. Just like the brain which doesn’t perform advanced calculus to calculate trajectories when it raises the hand of a body to grab a ball in the air.

Look back at the Norvig article until, we have made spectacular technological progress, basically engineering and that’s great as a tool to help society. Just don’t confuse that with actual science that is supposed to explain what is actually out there. That’s the true nature of Galileo’s telescope.
Let's imagine that ChatGPT stayed frozen in its current state of functionality, but was otherwise completely available for use. What would you see being realistically different in the average person's life ten years from now?
That's neat, but it's not doing anything in the latent space of ChatGPT, is it? As I understand, it basically teaches the assistant to use SD for generating images/descriptions, but comes with all the limitations of the image model being used (as opposed to a leap in results quality such as GPT 3.5 itself was). Teaching it to use tools is of course an interesting concept itself, though.
I think that another part of the explanation is, that most couples who do have kids, only have one or two.
That sort of ticks the box for life fulfillment goal 'kids', you don't need to have three or more for that.
Just jail the CEO. One day for each printer that they do it to should probably suffice.
That article is bunkum. There’s not the slightest reason to believe that it “rewrote his article in a different style”: it hallucinated a completely different article based on the URL. The other “proof” is all clearly wildly inconsistent and hallucinated: it’s a desktop machine, a server, inside Google in I think France, in the USA, in AWS, in Germany, and I think the last couple of “tests” don’t make sense anyway.

It convinced him of what he wanted to believe. He didn’t do a very good job of testing.

> But why don’t any of the aunts and uncles have jobs, while the kid’s parents do, in your hypothetical?

They do. In functional families everyone still works but because you have a dozen+ people to split the "chores" of life with, someone is typically available or can make themselves available at any given time.

It's also a family, so it's not just "aunts and uncles" but everyone from grandparents down to nieces and nephews. Lots of people at different stages of life able to contribute different things. The working-age folks tend to bring in money, and those who aged out or are too young contribute in other ways offloading tasks from those working a standard job.

I believe some printers have been caught getting updated from the host pc via the same channel as any other print job. usb, net, doesn't matter.

So you also want to make sure you're using a generic driver and not the current "hp smart" bs drivers they've been pushing for several years. Possibly tough to do on a new enough printer, maybe no generic driver available especially for scanning unless you're using linux.

Amazingly they still offered old-style drivers for my M281fdw for my wife's win10 machine, which cleared up a problem where the printer would crash and reboot every time she sent a print job, meanwhile I had no problem from linux. Ripped out all the hp smart drivers and put in the basic ones and it never did it again, over 2 years so far. But I have to assume that they just don't even offer classic style drivers for new models by now.
> Do you have examples?

Require some kind of work from the user so automated mass account creation is non-trivial. Preventing that was the initial point of phone verification anyway.

Whether this is the classical CPU/GPU Proof-of-Work, or a manual thing such as solving CAPTCHAs, is up to your personal taste :)

In the specific example of ChatGPT, they would have an easy source of work at hand: Have users rate existing statements of ChatGPT as true/untrue. If someone tries to create an account and they rate too many as the opposite of their actual truth-value then they are a bot. If the same questions which pop up during account creation are then simultaneously fed as input using an existing account, then it's also a bot.

How would that bypass the need for a phone number?
