This is a joke from Community about open ended TV shows typically having enough narrative steam to get a compelling run of six seasons and a movie at best. Not a financial thing.

Community has crawled through the trenches to get its six seasons and now finally a movie and I wish them the best.
>>There are also rules that explicitly stop us from giving information about why we’ve closed an account, to protect ongoing law enforcement investigations. (This is known as ‘tipping off’.)

I thought closing the account would actually be tipping off? i.e. if Mr Money Launderer suddenly sees an account of his closed with no reason given, would he not think he was being investigated?
If a company get get 500 candidates to each spend an hour on a task, for 500 unpaid person-hours of work, to save themselves single-digit paid hours weeding through applications to narrow them down, seems like it's very bad in an absolute what's-best-for-society sense, but quite a deal for the company.

I agree, yet there's a bunch of people in this comment section claiming you should give people take-home tests first which makes no sense to me.

This is true. I have no code on GitHub or the like, personally. Although I have plenty of code that I can provide to a company if they want to see it. Some have, most haven't.

I don't think it's an issue that some companies want to use GitHub as a shortcut to vetting developers. It does limit the pool they're fishing in, but that's what all vetting processes do.
> LongCOVID is a persistent viral infection.

No, this is an opinion, not a fact.

> Most RNA viruses that afflict humans are persistent (like Hepatitis).

No. The genome structure of a virus an orthogonal property, and extrapolating that "this is an RNA virus, therefore it must cause latent infection" is wrong.

Just to underscore the point: the most common examples of latent human infection -- HSV1 & 2 -- are double-stranded DNA viruses. HIV also causes latent infection, but has a completely different RNA structure.

It's like saying, "a car has an engine, a plane also has an engine, therefore I can fly in my car".

> Right now, zero dollars are being invested in developing the diagnostics required to detect the virus.

Also false. PCR is exquisitely sensitive. There is approximately zero chance that we could fail to detect latent viral infections with PCR, and many, many labs are working on this. The NIH just funneled something like a billion and a half dollars into "Long Covid research", and you can bet that diagnosis is a big part of this.

I have read at least a half-dozen papers in the last two years where people tried to find "latent" SARS CoV2 in various body tissues. If we aren't seeing latent infection, it's not because nobody is trying to find it.

> If you look at other species, a coronavirus (FIPV) can infect cats in a chronic fashion.

The fact that some unrelated virus in another species exhibits latent infection is...unrelated. You're leaping to conclusions.

> It is incredibly difficult to detect FIPV in cats due to irregular shedding by the virus.

When a viral infection is in its latent form, it's latent, and isn't causing active infection. So yes, it's hard to detect, but it also shouldn't be causing symptoms.

You don't get to have it both ways: claiming that the virus is so rare and hidden that we can't find it with molecular tools capable of finding a single copy of RNA, and simultaneously claiming that it's causing systemic, disabling illness. Both things cannot be true at the same time.
I love cargo. Its the most ergonomic dependency manager and build tool I've ever worked with. I completely understand why there'd be a cult around it.
Yes, there is a website that many users including myself use to generate images without ever having to use Discord apart from authentication.

It's a full blown web app with better options than the Discord bot, it has batch mode/select, remix, all upscale modes, works with every Midjourney engine.

They make it available to users who have generated more than 10,000 images as it's in alpha state and not able to withstand the load that the bot currently takes.

I believe after v5 focus they will make this web app public, but for now only a select few get to use it.

They warn users not to talk about it or share the link because they don't want it public until it's ready for full load which means over 10 million concurrent users.

Its probably strongly positive, in that the knock-on effects of letting them burn would be an economic meltdown that would rapidly reduce inflation.

The monetary effects of the additional net spending before considering that os probably minimal, though.

One thing crypto has been good for is it made us think critically about why money actually is. It's all a matter of faith and believing someone else will value it in the future...or a military will tell you to value it. Gold has the same issue; its intrinsic value is somewhere around silver or copper.

Once you think about currencies this way, you realize that while crypto could be used as a currency, it isn't; its a speculative investment, like a digital beanie baby.
The guaranteed 30 second as on stream load was the final straw for me. I used to wander around the music streamers channel but ended up with as much as time viewed as the actual streams.

TypeScript Decorators for AWS CDK

From what I've heard from big streamers (Ludwig Ahgren and his gang specifically), he was incredibly out of touch with Twitch culture. Basically zero awareness of what was happening on his platform.
I am not arguing about Google's innovation. They innovate, but their definition of "failure" internally is hurting real users and people are losing trust.

People can't give Google a chance all the time, especially when it comes to their livelihood and businesses. I know people who built product on top of Google product, which got deprecated later and hurt their product. Do you think next time they will choose Google immediately again?

> who cares about hangout?

Remember Google Talk? it was awesome, far ahead of its time. If they kept investing to Google Talk, probably WhatsApp, Telegram and other alternatives will be struggling to get users and momentum. Now Google has how many chat apps? 8-9 or 18?
Yes, we definitely believe and rely a lot on proper "SAT" solving in the conda ecosystem (old versions are also never deleted, for reproducibility reasons, which makes this problem actually quite interesting and large).

We are also quite curious to learn more about the Nix approach. Building packages is still a bit too painful / annoying in the conda ecosystem, which is something we really want to fix, and I think we can learn a lesson or two in the Nix ecosystem.

And by the way, the conda ecosystem is not at all Python specific. It's a common misconception, but they are all general binary packages and can be used for Ruby, R, Rust, C++, Zig, ... whatever – just like Nix. Rattler, mamba and conda all handle them the same nice way.
That's a good point.

Counterpoint: what idea can be had from rushed / time-constrained / deliberately careless work examples?

Any junior can copy / paste some functional yet poorly done code. Or make ChatGPT come up with something, I suppose, now that that's a thing.

Experiences vary, but every job I've taken and liked - no coding tests of any kind. More of a discussion about an example piece of code, for that part of the interview, but no requirement to come up with new code.
This line of thought is harmful and helps nothing imho.

So, no. Refraining from using AI is not a human-first approach, when using AI can actually help significantly with human problems.

I would like the HN UI to have a "favorite" button equally accessible to the "upvotes" button.

I know favorites are a feature, but they require clicking into the comments. I end up using upvote as a bookmark function, not as a method of approving of a post, because that's easier.

As it relates to this post, the HN UI encourages the feedback loop this submission is trying to fix.

Put a bookmark icon next to the upvote icon. Provide a unified view of upvotes+bookmarked for a user so they can see everything that got their interest.

If you want to go into more depth on this, the book "How Round is Your Circle" is a worthwhile read. As I recall, it was a bit dense and math-heavy, and made for tough subway reading.
Interesting idea. Yes that's probably true. One issue is that a story could appear on multiple pages (top, new, show, etc.), and we don't know where the upvote came from. But I think we could deal with that issue and we might be able to use that as a datapoint to refine the upvoteRate calculation, and we could experiment with adding that to our model.
LLMs have (maybe/probably) solved the language modeling problem, sure. That’s hardly NLP, right? NLG is more than “producing text with no semantics” and both NLG and NLU are only part of NLP.

ChatGPT cannot even reason reliably on what it knows and doesn’t know… it’s the library of Babel, but every book is written in excellent English.

Eh. Then those advertisers will have to create the content from now on...
I don't think the UK particularly encourages startups either. It's all very well saying you want to be a "science and technology superpower" but everything feels like buzzword bingo - quantum! AI! Corp tax is going up, entrepreneur's tax relief went from 10m to 1m...

I'm just ranting. I don't know the answer, I don't know what they should be doing. But there's a ton of people doing cool things (or trying to!) and absolutely as you say, it's a whole lot harder to take any risks when London costs as much as it does and bills and expenses are doing what they're doing.
No money no mission. If advertisers leave the ecosystem it all falls apart which is why the content controls are so strict.
More like "AI says it would hire a human to solve a captcha, and asserts that it would work". Nobody was hired. No actual execution plan for how the AI would hire a human was presented.

It's like if I presented this plan to become a billionaire.

1. I will start a company

2. I will make the company very successful

3. I will list the company on the stock market

4. I will sell my shares for a billion dollars

Sure, all of those things are doable. But me saying that I will do it does not mean I will do it, or even that I'm capable of actually doing it.
I'm not actually sure what the "maximum viable policy" would be for me. While privacy is a right, so is free speech and observation. Even something like "You can't spy whatsoever without consent" goes too far, because CCTV cameras are important, and legalizing secret recordings could deter many kinds of abuse.

One thing that definitely seems uncontroversial is protection for spaces that have an expectation of privacy. Obviously no democratic state has any business allowing AirBNB bathroom cameras, since basically nobody aside from criminals wants that to exist, and by extension any space that specifically claims to be private should have the same protection.

Requiring a "Facebook moderators may access these chat logs under some conditions" notice at the beginning of everything someone might otherwise think was private seems reasonable.

What I have more of an issue with is defining new spaces with that expectation.

The government should probably have stricter rules than everyone else on privacy, since they are the main group who both can and possibly might want to actually make use of data to harm an average person.

Digital search warrants and subpoenas have solved real problems, so I wouldn't want to get rid of those entirely, but there could be a central logging facility where you can get access to any data they have on you, get notified instantly (Or within a time limit that expires if you are arrested, if there's a need to temporarily seal it to prevent tipping off a murderer) of any new accesses, and appeal the decision that allowed them to access it, so they can't just rubber stamp give it to everyone without any transparency.

Encryption should be permanently made a right, along with anonymity networks like Tor, and Cryptocurrency in general(Although maybe not proof of work, and I sure wouldn't want to become an everyday thing we all have to deal with).

The big problem with spying is that it's just observing people and telling others what you saw, you can't fully eliminate spying without eliminating an important part of free speech.

In general, the GDPR seems to get things mostly right, but I still think the best solution is actually having private alternatives people actually would use by choice, and making sure those are legally protected.
Hey thanks for asking!

1. If someone reacts to a message in Slack with the :memo: emoji, Sidekick will take the contents of the message and search for a chunk in the docs that closely matches the content. Each chunk is tagged with the source url on Github. Then it uses Github's Octokit client to pull that file, parses out appropriate chunk, and use GPT3 to merge the old content with the information from the message. Finally, it'll submit a pull request to the repo where the docs are stored with the changes.

2. Yep! It can ingest docs from multiple repos and link out to docs across all of them depending on which is most relevant. You can also add custom logic e.g. restricting it to search through certain repos for specific channels

3. It works better if there's a consistent structure throughout the docs, but it will try its best to merge info into docs that aren't structured. The risk here is that if you let Sidekick go wild it'll lead to very haphazard looking docs, so some curation is still needed.
Maybe it will get recapitalized with the money confiscated from the Russian oligarchs, just like the Cypriot banks during the Eurozone Crisis.
In London, Citymapper shows the cost of each trip which can be very useful as there are often many routes that might take a similar amount of time but cost different (eg. sometimes you can take skip zone 1 for a few extra minutes or understand why you're paying extra when taking a train instead of tube in South London). It also recommends the best exit to take quite accurately for train/tube stations.

Citymapper is also much quicker to incorporate changed schedules and excludes delayed / cancelled trains from results within minutes of the changes being announced.

For altered schedules, Google is not only slower to react but also just posts a generic link to the TfL website - and you then have to parse the TfL notice yourself to understand which stations / bus stops are closed etc. The routes suggested by Google also still include cancelled trains / buses - it's your job to double check by visiting the TfL / train operator's websites.
The difference is that AI is using pattern matching while humans use reasoning to come up with new things.

That means AI is not capable of producing meaningful _new_ content like discovering new mathematical theorems, because AI does not understand maths, whereas humans can come up with something meaningful based on _understanding_ of the content they have learned from.

This is why when you ask e.g. ChatGPT about something it has not been trained, it can only come up with garbage, whereas a human would likely be able to provide meaningful answer based on looking at the same training data, if that makes sense.
It's not necessarily a lie.
There is actually a great coverage area overlap between VIA and Citymapper - esp. in North America and Europe. I wouldn't expect Europe not not be a focus given the huge transit market size.

In the reflections link at the bottom they have the following:

So they've had jobs while they've applied elsewhere. Also according to their resume (link at the top) they've had 7 jobs since 2014, or about one job shift every year and some change.
All of those durations are way too long. 2 or 3 hours is pushing it. That is plenty enough time to determine whether a candidate can write code.

There is the api that the website uses to talk to their server.

Of course automating image generation via any means (including the private api) goes against tos for good reason, I have never misused the api to generate images and have no plans to.

However I do use the api to download all my images and their metadata including prompts. Using the API I sync every image grid + 'upscaled' I have ever generated, generate a json file with all metadata including the full prompt and then use that to build my local archive.
It doesn't even need root to cause damage most of the time, it just needs to overwrite all files under your user by mistake.

Could you expand on that comment. Do they include attribution to the authors (as they have in blenders license) and all notices that refer to the license?

In general, in order to be in compliance they also need to:

You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
parties under the terms of this License.

And either accompany source code along with executable, or a written offer for source code.

Including a copy of the GPL is a nice first step. Do they follow the remaining conditions?
