> Do you understand that actual leftists consider NPR to be a voice of the corporate right-center?

We have to give up on arguing about what "leftism" is. It doesn't mean anything, and Glenn Beck stirred the American brain so thoroughly that there's no way to even give them a general idea of what it used to mean. Just let liberals have it. We have to just talk about our specific political positions on their merits and leave the taxonomies in the history books.

NPR is exactly what you would think its sponsors, which are managed funds, massive health care insurers, huge agribusinesses, silicon valley and chemical companies want it to be. Arguing about whether it's "leftist" with people who think the most "leftist" things are massive banks, Hillary Clinton, and fundamentalist Islam is a waste of your life.

As a person who identified as a leftist and hung with other people like that for 30 years (and continuing), we were calling NPR National Petroleum Radio 25 years ago when it was gutted at the end of the Clinton administration. It no longer has any serious intention to inform; like most media it's staffed by the children of the wealthy, generating content to support current political initiatives.
They need the CEOs to come on the show so that's why.

i like this. keeps people guessing as to why it was phrased as such. makes it more mysterious
that's a great idea. fancy a meetup.com group? if you ever start one, let us know here on hn. going through a operating systems course together sounds fun.
Properties exist, but their use to create classifications is arbitrary, and using those arbitrary classifications to justify anything else is invalid.

"Something is going on when you compare a gyro and a falafel."

Congratulations on spotting that. Sure, their bread wrapping is different and their fillings are different, and yet they are also both just food with the same essential fillings-in-bread form, and there is no justifiable reason to use the differences to decide who gets treated well and who doesn't.
I gave up on React 5 years ago for this very reason (and others)...it sounds like not much has changed, and it's still a constantly changing minefield.

I've had much better mileage with Vue.js - far more opinionated (which I like in a framework).
It's not any worse, just that it likely works with the CCP as opposed to the NSA, and the US obviously considers that a threat.

I think it'd be more productive for the US Congress to regulate the online space and the (ab)use of people's data/identity regardless of where the company is based in than to downright ban foreign companies. The latter seems rather... un-American.
Not really. Lobbyists are merely bag-men for the real shot-callers.
I'm bummed IA chose to pick this fight by declaring this magical COVID emergency and lending more digital copies than they owned. The outcome seemed inevitable and IMO IA has been dishonest about what the lawsuit with its own statements.

It makes me wonder if there are any adults at the helm at IA and I worry about its future.

IA is an amazing resource... I don't understand why they chose this hill to fight on.
I mean they’re pretty clear with their warnings about accuracy.
I use my phone as a phone. When I want Internet, I turn it on and do my thing. Then I turn it off. Have great battery life this way.
Are you sure? It sounds vaguely convincing but unlikely in practice:

Scotland - Largely Presbyterian ie rather more Catholic than us southern softies wot do Church of Eng. Your Catholic is rather more concerned about Sabbath behaviour than your Protestant except when they don't. Mind you we have some laughable nonsense available regardless of denomination - for example otters were once classed as fish hereabouts for Fish Friday. lol! It is quite hard to get more than 50 miles away from the sea in Britain. We also have quite a lot of rivers/streams/brooks/burns/cultured waterways - canals. Those ribbons of water contain quite a lot of fish. Yes, the UK might be quite as mad as you imagine it - we seem to require mammals to be classified as fish to ensure we make a God happy (one day in seven).

I recall shopping on Sunday becoming a thing here around the late 80s/early 90s but hours were not too conservative here in the UK compared to the rest of europe. We never had formal lunchtime closing for example, which is bloody annoying. I lived in W Germany for a few years back in 70s-90s and it was tricky buying stuff around 1200-1400 depending on where you were and the time. Nowadays I note that Italy, Spain, Portugal int al still have some pretty patchy midday work practices. That's fine but caveat emptor!
The Fight Continues
What's the spread of phone models (or just iPhone vs Android) in the photo for those of us who can't tell by looking?
I’m right there with you and it’s the homogeneity that killed podcasts for me. To be fair, it started with This American Life, which managed to become so repetitive stylistically that the subject matter suffered. Then that approach was in large part copied by Planet Money and associated programs.

There were a couple novel podcasts worth a binge and then everything started getting turned into a podcast series nobody has time for.

In the end it’s the chasing of engagement over solid reporting and storytelling, a slide towards mediocrity that moves the needle right up until it doesn’t.

Nowadays I subscribe to nothing and trust if something is good, friends will clue me in. Plus I poll the BBC Radio iPlayer for the occasional gem.
WSJ and FT/Economics sort of cancel each out on the bias in my experience. FT in particular is fairly left leaning on the american political spectrum.
I love to make fun of Blue as much as the next guy. But New Shepard is a more complex program even if it doesn't go to Orbit.
Agreed, AI wont be able to pump out jira stories with vague requirements and totally random story point estimates like todays humans.
I've never seen any remotely left wing content on NPR.

When did they call for shared ownership of the means of production or nationalization of industry?

That's what being left wing means. Identity politics are liberal, which is a right wing movement.
Yeah, no question. I'm sure it is coming.
I loved watching C-SPAN and then comparing to the "news" who picked one or two sentences from a 45 minute speech to yammer about for the next three days.
The point is, I'm annoyed with a company not providing a service for me, am I gonna go the extra mile to make them successful?
Sort of like air and food. Government-funded provision of necessities for health via taxes and protection via regulation should not be damned by calling it names.
Opposite direction of NPR? So you do agree that NPR has a bias ?
It’s funny they made me turn on 2FA a long time ago, I thought they did it to everybody but I found out that happened last week…. No idea why it happened to me a few years early.
The security of the even isn't in question. It's the security of the phone.

If you have your phone in your pocket in a locked Faraday cage, it prevents compulsive checking and any network notifications. It also means coat-check folks don't have access to it. The fact it can record other attendees doesn't matter. They may have their phone just in their pocket.

Typing that out, it makes me realize the Faraday cage is unnecessary. Just turn it off, lock it in a reinforced sleeve, people at the front hold onto the key for you.

Surprised I didn't realize this immediately. I sometimes lock my phone in a bag and put the key in another room. If I'm really serious I put the key in an envelope and write on the outside why I'm doing this. Tearing the envelope makes a nice barrier.
> that their decision is final and they will not be reviewing again

I had a similar response from eBay when a fraudulent seller sent me fake tracking numbers (same city, not my address) instead of actually shipping the item.

Credit card chargeback solved the issue, and I wasn't banned. But if you're willing to risk getting banned (there are alternatives to AirBNB these days) then that's an idea.
NPR is the equivalent of radio MSNBC: not doing much in the way of hard-hitting investigative journalism. It's target demo appears to be middle-age, middle-class people who want to believe everything is fine while sipping their coffee mug on the way to work.

Meanwhile, Democracy Now! has been going since February 19, 1996 with a daily worldwide summary somewhat better than the BBC and then proceeds to dig into long-form, important interviews on topics that don't get much CNN-MSNBC airtime.
Tbh as someone whos drawn their whole life(worthless anecdotal exp i know) i think he was just having fun experimenting
My performance would also increase when I was able to procude the exam before
The problem is these terms are basically undefined and current 'left' and 'right' trends don't match historic left and right trends. Actual communists (e.g., Stalinist USSR) have had periods that were socially traditional in many ways, up to and including prosecuting homosexuality.

The truth is what we call 'the left' and 'the right' is some kind of attempt to cluster a bunch of orthogonal belief systems that in our contemporary time tend to cluster.

You then also have things like post-modernist ideas that in some sense reject the idea of an objective reality and are idealist, whereas orthodox Marxism is solidly materialist and modern. People don't know what the hell any of these terms mean. Even Marx himself, in comparison to some self-proclaimed Marxists, said something like, "if they are marxists then surely I am not a marxist."

Most orthodox Marxists I know do not consider themselves liberals by the way and many wouldn't call themselves feminists because they may disagree with a bunch of baggage there, while being stridently in favor of equality between the sexes. A common struggle among "the left" (e.g., the "new left" in the 60s) is whether or not it is an intra-liberal struggle and whether or not class is the primary or even only determinate and other 'identities' should be subsumed. It's complicated.

Personally I try to not take on a label that defines for me a set of beliefs that are orthogonal. Someone can disbelieve in the trans movement you identified entirely and also want a workers revolution. It's not actually uncommon.
Where is nestle "stealing the water from various regions"? I'm sure they've been involved in water rights disputes, as has any large water consumer, but I'm skeptical that "stealing" is the most objective description or that they're even a large consumer compared to ag.
Not to diminish your list, but notably they're all non scientific, there's a push with Kissinger. (One could see economics as a science)

Point being: they only serve the generation who survive them, Moore, will outlive us all, in fact and in legacy.

Edit: What I said isn't true, music, movies and arts will outlive us. We have different lists.
Hm, I still re-map those to forwards and backwards like old ThinkPads.

I should try the Page Up / Page Down config.
You might enjoy The Algebriast. The book centers around exploring a gas giant inhabited by a race of floating creatures. It's one of Banks' best.
>> The former came to English from medieval Latin, while the latter was from classical Latin.

And it probably came to Latin from Greek: "δαίμων" is a deity, or spirit, not necessarily associated with something evil. As a sibling comment hints at, Socrates used to say that he had a "δαίμων" inside him, that advised him. This was used against him in his trial where one of the accusations was that he "introduced new daemons" ("εισάγει καινά δαιμόνια"), meaning new gods, new religions, he was essentially accused of prosyletising. And of corrupting youth, of course (well, one of his students was Alcibiades, a young man so debauched that it was easy to believe he had been corrupted by someone, probably many people at once, and many more times than one; probably being corrupted right now, as we speak).

Source: I grew up Greek and was corrupted as a youth by reading Socrates' words, as transcribed by Plato. Plato did not have enough deamonic powers in him to corrupt a wet noodle.
Not to mention more people will just do it themselves like they do in poorer countries already.
When ChatGPT starts providing accurate answers to queries and gets opened to be used for free. I think Google will be at huge risk. Unless google surprises us.
If this results in the collapse of the Internet Archive as a whole, it will be the digital equivalent of the Notre-Dame fire; a treasure being destroyed before our very eyes.
I'm good now, thanks. :)
If it is not an alert asking you whether you want to give access, it is already to late anyway. (And since you don't want to give someone from Pakistan access to your account, you want to ignore it anyway. But change your pw though.)

No no you don't understand, people won't drink water without a profit motive. We should do oxygen next.
I don't think that controlled digital lending in its entirety being ruled illegal was at all inevitable. Sure, take them to task for the 'emergency library', but the scope of this ruling seems unjust.
I think for me personally, it will be. Someone will figure out how to keep it reading until it corroborates its source a couple times, then report back.

I don't see why this can't be done right now, although perhaps it's not cost effective, who knows.
PBS and NPR are common targets of Republicans also. It really has nothing to do with any implicit bias or polarising content.
To be fair, it has worked well for them for at least half a decade. It’s only now they are paying the price.
On code gen with some reflection baked in (ie feedback and memory), it shoout up to 88% (from 67%).

There's some contamination to be sure but also still quite a lot to be done to better output
From the article the publishers take issue with only 120 or so books. No idea what kind of effect that will have on the rest of it though.
JS has its own warts, what better way to avoid them than not going that way in first place? Plus JS is still evolving, so devs would need to play catch-up to support all the latest features.
If they could privatize air, you can bet that they would have done it a long time ago. Its still public because they havent found a monetization mechanic yet.
The suggestion is that water is very underpriced, meaning corporations have no incentive to try and retain more or reduce their usage (not that this isn't in large part due to corporate or farm interests lobbying).

If water were gold, no one would let it run into the ocean.
Term limits are predicated on the notion that our so-called legislators legislate. They do not. They merely sign off on the bills their principals give them. While for the tv issues the two parts of our bifactional ruling party are happy to pretend to be at odds, when it comes to the real priorities of those who are actually in charge they inevitably fall in line.
When you zoom out on the timeline of humanity, this man, among others, will have left a huge spike in our technological progress. When I look back at the last 50 years and compare it to all known previous human history, I'm quite humbled to be alive during this timeline with them, despite some things I also greatly abhor.
You are probably talking about rxjs, possible even ngrx.

I have become to love it.

However, it should be way simpler now with the upcoming Angular version that's supporting signals now.
Like I said in the parent. I use this tool heavily every day for coding and non coding. The above was meant to be a tiny illustration. I have had long back and forth with GPT-4 trying to get it to understand some nontrivial useful code or generate some useful code and no matter how I phrased it it got it completely wrong even though it looked superficially plausible.
If, as you your second sentence seems to suggest, nobody ever managed to get it right twice then we shouldn't listen to people how made a good prediction either.

It certainly worked out well for Uber
Total deposits in US banks is 19 trillion dollars. $100 billion is 0.5% of total US deposits, not even considering other global bank deposits.
>>four bank rescues not two - Signature Bank, First Republic, SVB and Credit Suisse.

so when I said two and a half banks with two rescued it was actually two and a half banks with two and a half rescued.

feels to me like even less of a banking crisis.
Yeah, just like how keeping a military funded by taxes and governed by democratically made laws is taking the military power away from those who have it and giving it to those who dont...
Social mobility is already a joke. Knowledge workers have enjoyed prosperity for decades, software folks in particular, all AI does is even the playing field a bit more.
> The hard left is offended with the definition of a woman as someone born with female reproductive organs.

"The hard left" is something British people call other British people in order to dismiss them. Americans who are calling out the hard left need to stop reading the Spectator.
> I borrow books constantly from the IA that are hard/impossible to find elsewhere because they've gone out of print. A lot of academic-ish non-fiction from the 1960s-1980s, stuff you can only otherwise get through inter-library loan that takes weeks rather than seconds.

They host a lot of material that is not copyrighted and expired copyrights. Also this ruling does not apply to software.
Indeed a bit difficult without an actual example.

OP was alluding that caches and hierarchical memory in general are distinct from „memory reordering“. If I understand correctly, you are saying that the situations you have in mind are indeed a result of caches/hierarchical memory, but cannot be modeled as memory access reordering?
Invisibilia took a real down turn after the first couple of seasons, especially after the hosts changed from the original ones. The original season or two of the show were amazing to me, and it fell off quick after that.
I decided to see how Bing Chat would do on this. I opened the page in Edge and I was given a summary automatically when I clicked the Discover button:

---

Welcome back! Here are some takeaways from this page.

> ChatGPT was offline due to a bug in redis-py that caused some users to see other users’ chat history and payment information.

> The bug was patched and the service was restored, except for a few hours of chat history.

> The bug affected 1.2% of ChatGPT Plus subscribers who were active during a nine-hour window on March 20.

> Full credit card numbers were not exposed at any time.

> OpenAI apologized to the users and the ChatGPT community and took steps to prevent such incidents in the future.

Sometimes getting what you want quickly is a double edged sword. I used Google a lot in grad school, which brought up many relevant and helpful results. I switched to using books as much as possible. While slower, I learned lots of things I didn't know I didn't know, because I had to read through enough of the book to find what I needed. In the process, I learned things I would not have with a search engine.
I assume this will be appealed, as what decision like this isn't appealed.
Indeed - Credit Suisse isn't a retail bank (outside Switzerland), they're an investment bank so they're completely different and shouldn't be lumped in with the other 3. Two small crypto institutions and SVB. [edit] Not to mention Credit Suisse was holding $5B dollars of losses from Bill Hwang's Archegos shenanigans.
I agree that it does carry weight.

It is not apparent to me that fine tuning should be better, especially since the LoRA method seems like it could be robust against catastrophic forgetting.
My phone is safer in my custody - it doesn't matter who I am giving it to, including YC founders/staff. Giving my phone to other people, regardless of who those people are, is an extraneous risk when compared to having it in my pocket on silent.

I'm sorry - but this is just bad personal opsec regardless of what event you're attending, or who you're rubbing elbows with. Sorry, but my opinion on this is different than yours.
I'm inclined to agree with your assessment, given the existence of the concept of Gell-Mann amnesia at all.

That said, I think we might have a glimmer of a chance to escape the executioner's axe here, as it were, because while a psychopath is intentionally deceptive, and will become evasive or aggressive when they sense that you're suspicious and probing of them, LLMs have no such quality, and will "happily" keep talking and exposing their shortcomings to those willing to listen.

Ultimately, though, peoples' ability to understand how appropriately to trust LLMs will rest on their ability to understand their own capacity for being too-trusting and easily misled, a feature on which the human psyche does not have a great track record.
It's being replaced by a ChatGPT-controlled competition.

I recommend you start with an instant pot. You can go from dried legumes to the table in very little time.
this article is basically written under the assumption that water is going to become more scarce, while they even admit that global warming would increase global precipitation making water less scarce overall. They claim that some areas will experience more extreme droughts but I'm not sure that's how that works. They talk about the need for international regulatory bodies to manage international water disputes - but what will be the teeth of such international bodies? Invasion by the US or UN? I'm deeply skeptical of people who think like this. Please stay powerless.
