> Mothers in states that have banned abortion are now dying because they can't get care. People who are trans are dying at alarming rates because they can't get care. Guns are the leading cause of children.

Please feel free scream at whomever you wish outside of a classroom or courtroom. FWIW judges and lawyers are required by their professional to engage in reasoned debate, and to explain their reasoning to the court/s and each other.

It was disappointing enough this incident happened in an academic environment. But attorneys represent their profession, as well as their clients and themselves. They have codes which govern their professional responsibility, and these actions speak to the character and fitness of these future applicants to the bar.

This was plainly unacceptable. I'm frankly surprised the college didn't go further in sanctioning the students.
If people don’t like what me being said, why do they continue to listen? Calls to ban or censor speech because of a disagreement with the ideas is consistent with fascism. Are opponents so insecure in their own arguments that instead of defending their position, they feel obliged to silence the opposition?

If you don’t like what’s being sold in the marketplace of ideas, that doesn’t give you the right to burn the shops.
It's a bit of a chicken and egg argument. Although, personally, I think big tech needs the network much more than the network needs big tech. The telecom industry of old proves that.
Wow, props to the Dean - I truly hope this will mark a turning point in how free speech has been treated recently.
I've been running a RWKV chatbot and call it Rawkov. It said it liked the name.

This is exactly it. The way the snippet defines things, whichever person calls the other (illicitly-)"intolerant" first gets to be (licitly-)intolerant of the other. It takes two to tango^W disagree.
Fair use? It's the man's own recording; he has copyright. He also has a right to record in his own home. The police should lose, but unfortunately Ohio lacks an anti-SLAPP law. (It will likely not be an expensive loss for the cops, and it will be an unnecessarily expensive victory for Afroman.)

This is a problem for everyone. People may not experience the struggle directly, but it's there. It's the inherent problem with any group class.

> I feel like there's always the tendency for people to zone out and not raise an issue when they are either bored or did not keep up/understand.

Tight loops of interaction will make this nearly impossible. What you'll have to watch out for instead is overwhelming students to the point of distress (speaking from experience).
Attorney Steve Lehto covered it pretty well. He had a hard time not laughing, but to his point, any lawsuit has a chance of winning, and it will have a massive chilling effect if it does.

Hydrogen peroxide has another bacterial related use. If one is unsure of the existence of pathogens they can spray peroxide on all the surfaces and just listen. The bacteria will bubble up making almost a hissing sound. Bacteria free surfaces will make no sound. I also found that peroxide will change the color of some bacteria making it easier to see with the bare human eye.
It doesn't matter whether society wants it or not to the extent that it is a Constitutionally enshrined right - that's the entire point of this letter.

The fact you're still saying this indicates you didn't read the letter or that you did and still don't understand that.

The First Amendment is not something that depends for its legitimacy or efficacy on what students of a school or indeed society in general wants at any time. If it's true that society 'wants that', then society can go through the process of Constitutional amendment. Short of that, it is not at all a question of what society wants.
Agree very much on this.

I'd like to expand a little bit on this part:

> I value code reviews from even junior devs.

In fact it can be really valuable. If they don't understand it it means it is either too complicated or it might mean it is time to explain the necessary concepts to them.
Anti-SLAPP laws (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation). Ohio doesn't have one, as far as I can tell.
>Plain disagreement ends when people start to die.

So what do you propose? Dropping all restrictions when combatting opposing views? To where is the bar lowered and what is acceptable?

Should it be acceptable that humans advocating for abortion rights in opposing states are shouted down? Worse?
I deeply appreciate your point that lack of understanding goes both downward (homeless) and upward (CEOs.) I think that's true.

But - unrelated to your point - I think there's more empathy (or understanding, at least) - unexpectedly - downwards. A CEO knows how to become homeless (quit job, give away house and money) if they chose to for some reason. A homeless person has no path to CEO.
Without the context of how the reviewer rates other movies, it's not possible to say whether 7 is high or low. I would say 7 is mid or mediocre, something I wouldn't go out of my way to watch. The trend I've noticed is that most people only use the top half of the scale, anything 5 and less is bad. The funny thing, and I am guilty of this myself, is when they only use 6 through 10 but then use decimal points too.
Are you quitting your job because you think you’re being made obsolete and are getting ahead of layoffs? What are you thinking of pivoting to?

One of the things that changed my life recently, that I hadn't seen before: NeoVim has a NVIM_APPNAME variable that lets you change the app name.

So when I wanted to try AstroVim, I just set NVIM_APPNAME=astrovim, and dropped the files in ~/.config/astrovim instead of blowing up my existing (shitty) ~/.config/nvim.

I really wish the idea of configurable appnames was a part of the spec! (or a well-known extension!)
I found the comments of some usually sensible voices that ChatGPT wasn't a threat because it wasn't connected to anything.

As if the plumbing of connecting up pipes and hoses between processes online or within computers isn't the easiest part of this whole process.

(I'm trying to remember who I saw saying this or where, though I'm pretty sure it was in an earlier HN thread within the past month or so. Of which there are ... frighteningly many.)

It's a polygon for unleashing any and all mafia tactics. The mafia is wealthy and there's enough people who'd even join the ranks with the obvious bad company for some one time payment. The goons are the local trucking plant's unofficial security force. Maybe we can catch them on not paying taxes?
Yes, I understand the mechanism, but why would you want to structure your OS like that?

You either have to maintain a stable syscall ABI, or a stable userspace function ABI, and it's not like one is materially more difficult than the other. If anything, the Linux approach has proven to be superior -- glibc has had multiple breaking changes over the years and to this day users will resort to Docker to run binaries that depend on "old" glibc, but programs written against the Linux syscall ABI twenty years ago will run fine to this day.

Even if you decide to have a userspace trampoline/shim, it doesn't make sense for that to be libc. The C standard library is huge and requiring userspace programs to link it regardless of implementation language does nothing except add forty years of bad ideas into your process's address space.
And think of how many trans folks are aborted every year because their mothers can't get guns!

Chicago is a wild case.

I have a buddy on the south side who is part of a number of local political action groups which meet at local churches and are organized by alderman.

The city is run by the mob. If people try to pull the curtain aside to expose it, they disappear. Yeah yeah, hearsay. But this is a friend of mine I trust being told directly by alderman.

I have wondered for a while why Lightfoot has taken positions on issues diametrically opposed to, like, her whole career prior.
> and ask Microsoft for a comment

Doesn't this sort of invalidate your point? Microsoft is going to know they accidentally leaked their comments and start stripping them.

It's not possible to perform journalism here without revealing where you got the information you're reporting. Seriously, how do you write this story without making it obvious that your big scoop is the comments from the paper?
Not sure why I'm even bothering to reply to you, but in the event there is some aspect of good faith open mindedness on your part, 'largely white male sexists and racists' (to the extent that this is the class of people being discussed here, which you assume but isn't at all obvious) have just as much a right to give speeches and to have their views discussed and criticised as Muslims or blacks or anybody else - that is entirely the point of the First Amendment and indeed it is the idea of free speech in general. Nobody cares that you find it disgusting, and that you find it disgusting has no bearing on Constitutional Law.

My advice to you would be: If you have problems with what is being said, try criticising it in terms of how you think it's wrong, not on the ad hominem basis of who said it.

GPT-4 seems pretty "moatish".
I don’t think Apple necessarily needs to lead the pack on LLM research. They just need to take the SOTA FOSS model and bake it into silicon, using their chip design expertise.

If you do that, you can do inference on mobile devices, which is a huge privacy win; it plus into their general privacy positioning in a big way. If you open up that SDK to developers it would be the iOS app gold rush all over again.

Note, Google is also moving in the direction of on-device inference with Coral, but they obviously will want to transmit the personalized model weights back to the mothership.
The Taliban in Afghanistan think women should not be educated. I am intolerant of their views and look disdainfully upon them. This does not make me an asshole. Some views are repugnant enough to merit intolerance.

Each person decides for themself whether or not a belief deserves to be met with intolerance. The Paradox of Tolerance can be used by assholes to justify their intolerance but it can also be used by people who are in the right. Perhaps in the present context at Stanford you should be tolerant of the intolerant lest you become one of the assholes.
i hate to break it to you, but we understand very little of human sexuality as it is. kids, especially as they grow up under parents with ideas like yours, struggle a lot with their identity when they are queer. they're not being coached or groomed, this is such a ridiculous and inflammatory take that does not belong on HN.

have you ever as a teenager thought you may be different? did you have the language to explain how you felt? did you have an authority figure you could confide in? did your parents act hostile towards you or people who you felt you aligned with?

i hope your kids don't end up queer because i fear how they would be treated and how sad they would feel with how much vitriol you seem to have for anything non-cis non-straight. and by the way, the proper term is transgender person.
Again, speculating that this comes from some sort of insecurity on the part of students does nothing but drive a deeper wedge. I really encourage more empathy than this.
I'd guess it's that everyone is often non-thinking. I'm not sure if there's a correlation between intelligence and kindness and which way it would go. But the thing is you get more free passes when you're kind. If it was all his friends throwing him a surprise party and forgetting of course he'd notice on his cameras, it would just be funny.
What I don't understand and have been unable to find the answer to is that this warrant was granted based on accusations of drug trafficking and kidnapping--where is the justification for that?

What was the probable cause which prompted the judge to grant a home search warrant for drug trafficking and kidnapping here?

Why is there seemingly no accountability going on?

Armed police broke into someone's home, looking for drug trafficking and kidnapping, and it seems that evidence of neither was found. Why were they allowed to do this by the signing judge?
AFAIK, VMS Software doesn’t publish a price list.

But I expect it would be several thousand dollars. I doubt they really want hobbyists as paying customers because the cost of servicing them is likely to greatly outweigh the revenue potential.
It suffers from the same problem a lot of layman's explanations have: it jumbles the explanation of what NP is.

This is really annoying because it's so easy to do better: instead of saying (like the article does) "NP is a class of problems that are hard to solve yet easy to verify", you just have to say "NP is a class of problems that are easy to verify, no matter how hard they are to solve".

With this small change it's much easier to see that P is inside NP, whereas with the original explanation, most people have to re-calibrate their understanding of what NP is when they learn that it actually does include P.

It also makes it easy to see that "P vs NP" is just the question: "are there really any hard problems that are easy to verify, or is every problem like that easy and we just aren't very good at solving some of them?"
AM/PM is bad, but I have a GE microwave which requires you to also set _the date_ when you're setting the clock. How could somebody think that was a good idea? :)

They could add a waiting period for channel renames so that it notifies the owner via email and the rename doesn't take effect for, say, 24 hours.

They could also trivially check for channels being renamed to something like "Tesla" or "Space X".

Live streams containing QR codes or on-screen text mentioning crypto are also suspicious.

Live streams with comments and chat disabled are another (weak) signal of fraud.
The article doesn’t read as if they are claiming they were filmed illegally.

It looks mostly like a claim about using their likeness commercially —- their personality rights. i.e. the rights someone would sign over in a modeling contract.

…Like how you can’t put Tom Hanks face on a box of cigarettes and sell it without permission. He may sue and claim that you’ve tarnished his image.

But yeah, it’s a stretch here too given the circumstances, but these laws vary by state so I have no clue how this state handles it.

And some of them control LLM AI.
Unfortunately fighting with bad cops is like fighting with a rude low-level customer service rep. It may be true that they suck, but the ultimate source of the bad situation is the result of intentional decisions by people wearing nice suits somewhere, who through many layers of beauracracy, hired these low-level people to do their dirty work.

The whole State at this point is oriented against the People. Fighting the police is at best very inefficient, even when you're in the right. This whole neocon/neolib uniparty and corporatocracy running our country has to be ousted first. Local level policy will follow naturally from that.
I think we probably all spend a good chunk of time in the shower having imaginary conversations to reimagine history. Maybe I need to spend more time imagining conversations that haven’t happened yet.
As a rapper, taking risks that make the police look like idiots is pretty much his job. I think he's doing it well and I hope he gets paid accordingly.
There is a two part problem here. A lot of good stuff only exists because of ads. We want that to remain somehow.

But the converse is a huge and ever-growing ocean of bullshit exists to siphon the ad dollars off while doing nothing to actually earn it.

Something has to break, and I guess we'll see what really soon.
I'd like to think they're smart enough to recognize if they hire smart people that they'd be out of a job.
That opinion alone does not make you an asshole, however, how you engage with the idea and people who hold it may make you an asshole.

If you go and kill 250k Afagan civilians in the name of intolerance, including women an children, you might be an asshole.
Not sure about "the tech is well understood" given the LLM itself is a black box in regards to how it works internally, even Microsoft researches admit it (Sparks of Artificial General Intelligence: Early experiments with GPT-4).
Could it be because a lot of big, important decisions by influential people are often made based on superficial factors (or gut feelings) and this skews outcomes? I guess sometimes dumb ideas do seem to win; especially in the short term. "The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent."

I think outside of markets and finance, there are areas where nuanced thinking delivers results, even if it's not necessarily rewarded appropriately by management. In tech, it might lead to a feature being implemented in a way which some users will really appreciate (without understanding why).
This is entirely my point. They’re all crap at a fundamental level, none of them outperform any other. But the next generation, which will assuredly be backed by a LLM, will be shockingly powerful.
I don't know how MMOs do this at all, but I would assume that for an MMO to be scalable, you do some sort of population-based geometric slicing of the world, and then assign each slice to a server such that players communicate with the server for their slice and the server for adjacent slices that are in some sort of visible/soon-to-be-visible range. That would mean no interaction between the servers - just between clients and servers. It also means that servers can be smoothly scaled out by cutting one server's area into two servers.

Edit - And if a group of players raid a dungeon, the population of that dungeon is strictly limited, so you can park that raid on one server and don't worry at all about inter-player latency.
> You can't buy tons of weapon technology, nuclear materials, aerosolized compounds, pesticides. These are all highly regulated and illegal pieces of technology for the better.

Only because we know the risks and issues with them.

OP is talking about furthering technology, which is quite literally "discovering new things"; regulations on furthering technology (outside of literal nuclear weapons) would have to be along the lines of "you must submit your idea for approval to the US government before using it in a non-academic context if could be interpreted as industry-changing or inventing", which means anyone with ideas will just move to a country that doesn't hinder its own technological progress.
"Kidnapping" basically allows you to legally SWAT someone as long as you're in earshot of their house. Some years back a friend of mine had a SWAT team show up because someone "heard a girl screaming"; when he refused to answer the door, they flashbanged his apartment and busted in (then he was evicted because of a clause that said your landlord can kick you out for being merely suspected of a crime).
So does Chongqing but it wouldn’t be considered a rich city. Tianjin is the place I go to see derelict sky scrapers, they had one on my first visit in 1999, they have the tallest one now.
