Not as much as you may think.

“showdead” is a feature if you have enough karma and it’s usually easy to see why something is dead.

Controversial arguments made well, or at least to the best of your ability that fall within the guidelines can and do get upvoted. A lot of the dead comments I see are really just ad hominem attacks or near enough to it.
When you aggressively invade and destroy the government of a sovereign country, there is chaos, a power vacuum and civil war. This is what Washington did in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and Syria (failed).

Arguing that Washington technically didn't invade any of these countries because there were already internal tensions is laughably stupid (what has been happening in Donbass since 2014?). Kindly knock it off.
I felt more Borges (inward turning, selfseriousness) than Vonnegut (having a laugh?) from Invisible Cities. But I agree, the author here seems to take it a step further. A good reminder to check out some of his other stuff - thanks :)
As a congressman, he sponsored a highly significant law that governs all of the activities of regulators. So if anything, the conflict of interest question is more relevant to him than it would be to a bureacrat working in one of the regulatory agencies.

Check some of the old cold war designs, they definitely thought in that direction. Space weapons were prohibited partly for the reasons you mentioned and partly due to the political liability of militarizing the space.

It's not even going from LA to SanFran anymore, they sort of quietly abandoned this part, for now at least. Which adds a whole new layer of absurdity to this endeavor.
Says rocket_surgeron... that speaks volumes.
I’m always surprised by how much others like typescript. Out of all the languages I have to use, typescript is the one that feels the most like pulling teeth. Maybe I just don’t know how bad it truly was to work with a really large JavaScript project without types and that’s why people love it, but without that experience it just feels like all the hassle of types without most of their benefits.

There are real advantages to launching from higher up, not just in terms of reducing drag losses but in using larger engine bells with higher ISPs, saving on structural mass due to lower aerodynamic forces, and maybe launching from over the sea if otherwise you'd have a hard time finding a safe launch corridor.

But rockets are usually launched from the middle of large, empty pads for a reason since there's always the danger of an explosion. Unmanned planes could help but planes are expensive pieces of capital to have sitting around if you don't have a fast launch cadence. I'd tend to favor balloon style designs, though that makes getting to remote launch locations more awkward.
I've seen a couple of sites with linkages like these. Does anyone know of a source of first principles from whence one could build their own?
I was like this a week ago. Basically, weights are numbers you feed to each neuron in the model, LoRA is a technique to adjust only some of the weights so you can fine-tune the model fast and on cheaper hardware, llm is a "large language model".

>In the most basic sense, to believe the mind a box that can output things not based on input is inherently to believe it "irrational" in the truest sense of the word.

No, it believes that the mind has an internal state. We have many physical cases of state which is in practice undecidable. Moreover, in many formulation of quantum physics one can have a state which is unreachable even in theory - not just hidden variable style QM theory, there are ways to get unreachable state even in 'regular' QM[0].

>And if that's the case, the question is where does that irrationality come from?

The universe itself. The linked PDF - you might be familiar with the author, he features often on HN - provides one method this is possible. Though, I'm not saying this is true, I suspect it may not be.

Companies don't "believe" things. They will amorally advocate for whatever is remotely favorable to the company.

There is no financial incentive for them to say "We don't need noncompetes" or even "You know, it really doesn't affect our bottom line either way." So instead they will always say "Of course we need it." There's no downside.

I think the LLaMA-7B in general might not just be very good. I've been playing around and run full non-quantized LLaMA-30B and LLaMA-7B in a bunch of experiments and I think the quality of output is much, much better in LLaMA-30B.
Congrats on the launch! We're building something similar [1] and are also observing a lot of the same usage patterns.

What seems to happen when the chatbot says "Hmmm, I don't know..." is that the DevRel team uses that to guide them to missing documentation sections.

> weights refer to the trained model weights

This is what I'm having a hard time understanding.

So there's the weights, and also a model somewhere? That the weights are based on? Or that you combine with the model to tune it?
Any links to their apologies? I don't understand why they apologized.
I’m quite certain the redundancies in your average kube system are more robust than those on the MCAS. single sensor for starters
I don’t think we’ll get rid of legitimate political spam (no matter how much most people want it). At least STOP works for those.

But hopefully these same rules will help block the political scam stuff. Fake announcements, wrong polling place/election time info, libelous stuff not sent by legitimate (registered) organizations, etc.

It’s something.
That looks worse.

Shorter code is not always better code
> What I ended up landing on was focusing on making the "original intent" small enough that I had no excuses to not complete them.

This is something I am aiming for myself. It is very common for me to feel motivated and to make big plans to change my life. Then I fail to adhere to my plans and it creates anxiety and depression.

I recently started rising at dawn every single day. When I decided to make the change I limited myself to only that change. Despite wanting to change 100+ things about my life I focused just on this one idea - to set an alarm for sunrise and to get straight out of bed.

It is such an easy premise that I really have no excuse to fail at it.

My current idea is that focusing on a single virtue is a key to a productive life. No more "7 highly effective habits" or "12 rules" or whatever. Just one thing: get up at sunrise. Easy to remember, easy to verify compliance, difficult to achieve.
You can't have a society that claims that "the right to work" is a thing while disallowing workers to go work for the competition if the competition offers a better compensation. NDA already exist for trade secrets.
IANAL but I understand the top end quotes (110 years in this case) are typically available to judges by ordering sentences to run consecutively.

She's pled to a set of felonies that each carry stiff penalties. A judge would apparently be within the law and federal guidelines to decide that an appropriate sentence is somewhere between the sentence for any one of the charges and below the sentence for running all the sentences consecutively. It's really easy to get sentencing guidelines to arrive at over 100 years for multiple felonies, if you stipulate consecutive sentences.

One notable exception to the typical kid-gloves treatment of financial crime syndicates was Bernie Madoff, who was sentenced to 150 years, the top of the sentencing guidelines.
Does anyone else find that Enum is just not worth using and you’re better off with union types?
So did the 4.x releases.
we started with Flow and moved to TypeScript a few years ago; converted 100k lines of code primarily with sed via regular expression find/replace; even then TypeScript was better but 80% of the better part was the library of available typings--Flow's support for lodash types was awful in comparison and we used lodash and lodash/fp all over the place
I got my foot in the door in tech through triplebyte after a couple months of job applications. I had a very small number of triplebyte company "matches", but I got a good review on my triplebyte front end interview and ended up landing a good job at a growing startup... only for the company to lay off the entire office 3 months later after the initial Covid outbreak (but the production experience taught me a lot and helped me get my next role).

I had less success when I came back 2-3 years later and tried to get another role through them, but I'll always be thankful for the initial foot in. At at time when many places didn't want to consider me at all for having no professional experience, triplebyte was willing to give me the chance to interview and judge me on my answers instead. Even just the interview process was a good learning experience and I could research any topics I didn't know afterwards.

I like to riff off one of the questions from my triplebyte interview when I now interview candidates- the "used car" architecture question. Makes for a great open ended technical discussion.

That ignores the sixty years it took North Korea to develop nuclear weapons. It took the US and USSR less time to develop the first nuclear weapons after the discovery of radioactivity in the late 19th century!

The Soviet Union first began training DPRK nuclear scientists back in 1956 [1] and North Korea only managed to finally build nuclear weapons because of assistance from Pakistan with the uranium enrichment process in the late 90s and early 2000s, specifically the design for the centrifuges that fell into Libya's hands [2][3].

Ask HN: Are there any modern WiFi 6 routers that generate low EMF radiation?
That might be. But honestly, anything is better then a parking lot. And going from a property tax to a land value tax is much preferable.

> With a land value tax we are basically telling landowners that they aren't allowed to build and also they will be taxed for not building. Stop hitting yourself! Stop hitting yourself!

Ok, and with the current system you hurt the people who have managed to build things even more.

Its not like actually impossible to make something productive with your land.

Land value tax, any way you look at it, is fairer and better for society then property tax.

But yes, regulation are also a problem. But just because bad regulation exists, shouldn't mean you should not improve the tax system.

It will be just fine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newquay_Airport

"The airport handled 461,300 passengers in 2017, a 24.2% increase over the previous year.[2] Newquay has a CAA Public Use Aerodrome Licence that allows flights for the public transport of passengers or for flying instruction. The Cornwall Air Ambulance is based at the airport. Since 2012, the airport has hosted the Aerohub enterprise zone.

The airport is also the base for Spaceport Cornwall / Virgin Orbit space satellite launches."

Not that much was actually invested or committed, relatively speaking:

"In June 2019, the UK government and Cornwall Council announced they were prepared to invest up to £20M into the airport to create the Spaceport Cornwall as a base for Virgin Orbit. On 5 November 2019, the UK Space Agency announced that it would provide £7.35M to establish Virgin Orbit operations at Spaceport Cornwall."

Not all of that was provided.
Cells don't _want_ anything either. Yet a funny thing happens when a large number of them add up.

We can go even further: atoms and electrons absolutely don't want anything either. Yet put them in the shape of a bunch of cells...
Looks really nice! Also, super happy that the interactive examples are not super sluggish code sandbox iframes, they're actually usable! A more typescript-first approach would have been nice, or at least typescript/JavaScript toggles, but the React team seems to be aware that that's an area they need to work on.
> And yet I'd be surprised if there weren't a horde of lawyers that go to bat on behalf of employees trying to hop to a different Big Name but have to deal with noncompetes. It's a weird world in the Valley.

The difference is that non-competes are (mostly) illegal in California, so silicon valley tech companies don't use them at all. Meta has no choice but to employ and pay developers if they want to stop Google from having them.

People say things all the time that they never intend to do.

To go with the theme I’ll add another common Japanese concept: tatemae / honne. In short, what you say vs what you really do/feel.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honne_and_tatemae

I heard it best explained by an old Japanese teacher. Say you bump into an old high school friend on the street. You have a quick chat and at the end he says “we should get together some time”. He doesn’t really mean he wants to get together. That’s tatemae.

If he says “we should get together some time, how’s next Tuesday at 7?” That’s honne.
It is truly bad to work with large Javascript projects without types. But I'm curious, what benefits of types do you feel you are missing in Typescript?
>> SVB would have held them to maturity had the bank run not happened, and now somebody else will instead.

If that were the case, they wouldn't have had to raise emergency funding last week. The assets were indeed impaired. Hiding the true values via AFS accounting treatment doesn't magically make the dire circumstances sustainable.
Looks like some good resources and a neat redesign. The domain move makes me realise how odd it was that before they had 'org', which is normally used by charities/non-profits. I'm guessing Typescript is the force behind dropping 'js' from out of the domain too.
It's only a bluff if we do nothing about it. Maybe the government doesn't have the enforcement spine for the job, but if they can make it clear who is in violation, well now we have a list of targets. We just need to create some incentives to not be on that list.
Thank you for the link. The original link is useless to me, all flair, but no information.

Finally! Although looks like Google still has to update so newcomers are likely still going to head to the legacy docs and not realize it (and the legacy page still links to beta.reactjs.org vs react.dev).

Can the same reasoning explain why type systems need optional generic parameters to come after required generic parameters?
The entire trope is creepy, the usual portrait of the male private eye detective as is the portrayal of his object, the "damsel in distress". (Mind that the "damsel in distress" is commonly an excess signifier in the setup hinting at something not being as presented, thus initiating the core story.) You can't have one without the other, and still stay true with cultural history of ephemeral narration. This is here further motivated by us encountering a phenomenon of distress in code, namely, in the anatomy (a common term for this) of a unified storage format for variables and an artefact found in this. Moreover, this is really a 1970s story (as is the PET 2001).

(I find it rather creepy that the portrayal of the male narrator, who is without empathy but for the curiosity for his object, should be ok and go without any notice. On the other hand, note the absence of any notion of violence, untruthful or untrustworthy behavior, etc, otherwise common to the genre. Which would probably also have passed the filter, which is again creepy in its own right. — In defense of the genre, these are really paper-cut, mechanical figures to enable the progress of the story and not human figures, at all.)
I feel like I’m being gas lighted by these explanations that race doesn’t exist. A five year old can plainly see race but grownups must pretend it doesn’t exist? It’s a bit Orwellian (a bit like 2+2=5)

Yup. In a group of 100 people, if only one wants control, guess who will probably get control? Paradoxically, it's probably the last person you want having control.
Agreed in general but I don’t think there is anything structurally preventing <0% yields on treasuries. The ECB has already set a central bank rate as low as -0.50% before.

It would of course be deeply unintuive to a regular person and likely very unpopular if rates went negative enough to require it to be reflected in consumer banking (eg negative rates on a checking/savings account). But I don’t think it’s impossible and we may see it in our lifetimes.

That is just a nitpick though because I think the US public as-is would throw a fit if it happened, making it unlikely. Fully agreed that purchasing a 10y bond at 1% was boneheaded given plenty of people predicted interest rates to need to increase to fight inflation (come on, just because the fed said it was transitory for a while, doesn’t give professionals an excuse to blindly take that at face value). The effective yields could have been so much higher just keeping the cash uninvested or in short term treasuries, then purchasing 10y bonds after the rate hikes started or stabilized.

Yeah that is much more obvious in hindsight but it’s not like it was a fringe position even in 2021
It would be useful if headlines said "~$10", "sub $100", "sub $1000" et cetera, instead of vague terms like "low-cost".

Let's take a step back. You have a model like linear regression. For example, y=bx where y are your outputs and x are your inputs. Based on some data, you learn that b=1. Therefore, you share the weights of the model as a file like {b=1} and also share with them the model y=bx (usually shared via code) so they can run it in production.

As the author points out, there are these vague claims by now two administrations of different political parties. Or I hear sort of hazy assertions from The Verge that TikTok is doing bad things.

What is the evidence? If we don't have the evidence, why are we still making the murky claims? If we DO have the evidence, why on earth haven't we done something about it yet?

I have to assume I'm really quite ignorant, that there is some reason for the inaction by political leaders, and so I come here genuinely from the standpoint of wanting to learn. Maybe I'm naive in either case! XD
