You are assuming that a web search is somehow fundamentally worse at finding _existing_ content. Ridiculous. Given that it can use LLMs (among other things) behind the scenes. The opposite can also be true (LLM can use web search), the difference is how likely that BS is generated.
Yea. Tether should reach $80B in market cap sometime this week. Exciting!

Ok that's fair. It turns out that guns are the leading cause of death for kids in the US. Can we make exceptions to the 2nd admendment?
Having preferences is still a problem (a real problem) when your preferences are utterly unrealistic and ridiculous. Such as not-so-attractive 5'2" women demanding to only date men who are 6'4", or 60-year-old men refusing to date women older than 30.

Of course, I guess you could argue that people like this really shouldn't be in relationships to begin with, so it's better if they maintain their preferences and standards and refuse to budge, effectively self-opting out of the dating pool.

A human, if not incentivized to lie or directly incentivized to be truthful, could at least tell you when they're making something up themselves where Bing/Bard seemingly cannot. Once it can do that I think they'll be far more useful, at least then you can have a rough idea of how much you need to check the bots work. If I have to do that for every thing it spits out the best it can do for me is give me new words to use while searching.

Granted getting the name for something to search is often half the battle in tech.
> That's still a form of a ban. You highlighted that it's taxpayer funded, which to me means it's a violation of the first amendment. If it was a private library then that would be fine.

It doesn't violate the first amendment for the same reason it would violate the first amendment for the government to tell Barnes and Noble that it can't stock those books. When the government buys books with taxpayer money and makes them available in a taxpayer-financed public library, the government is the speaker. The first amendment permits the government to have a particular viewpoint when it acts as a speaker and provider of services.

> "And Tango Makes Three"[1] is banned in the Lake Country School District for K-3 [2]
The stated reason is: "Administrative removal as per HB 1557 due to sexual orientation/gender identification". The book is a children's book about gay penguins. There's no sex in it and therefore it's not pornographic. Why is this justified?

As you admit, that is a book directed at children. Children don't think about penguins as having any sexual orientation. Sexual attraction is not a concept that's appropriate to introduce to young children.

> I believe the true purpose of this law is to enforce moral values on the community and attack gays/etc by hiding their existence. The goal being to appease conservative Republicans and/or evangelicals who consistently vote Republican.

Yes, but the moral value that's being enforced is sheltering children from being exposed to concepts of sex, sexuality, and sexual attraction. Conservative Republicans and evangelicals support that goal, but so do most people. I have literally never heard my Biden-voting Muslim-immigrant parents say the word "sex" or the Bangladeshi equivalent. And I'm married with three kids! The subject is nonetheless completely taboo. That's even though all of us support same-sex marriage in the abstract.

Yes it's an error. The ABC article is misquoting the FAO, which says that all emissions associated with livestock make up 14.5% of human GHG emissions.[0]

This includes not only enteric methane (39% of that), but also emissions and deforestation to grow feed (45%), manure storage (10%), and meat processing and transport (6%).

Reducing global emissions by ~6% is still a huge dent, of course.

This is all true in this instance, but it doesn't have to be at all. You could write something like the following:

let name = "Arthur".to_owned();
//... Do something with &Arthur

let name = "Bethan".to_owned();
//... Do something with &Bethan

In this situation, ownership of the first string was never passed on, and the value will be dropped (deallocated, destructed, etc) at the end of the scope, meaning that also in Rust, the first string value is shadowed and becomes inaccessible, much like in your description of C++. In addition, because in this case both variables have the same type, you can use second variable thinking that you're using the first one, and the compiler will not help you, you'll just end up using the wrong name somewhere.

Fwiw, I find this feature very useful, and it's helpful more often than it is a nuisance. But there are no guarantees that you're consuming or transforming the object you're shadowing, and the compiler won't necessarily help you out if you simply accidentally use the same name twice.

When I read news about banning TikTok in the US, I keep thinking about whether the EU should ban the same way Twitter and Facebook.

I am really undecided (just like with the TikTok ban), but I can't see how the same arguments couldn't be used to justify a EU-wide US social media ban.
I don't but let me back up, I'm not doubting that happened. Can you provide a source for when a librarian taught sexed or something along those lines to kids?

How does banning books fix this? Was the person following the library's guidelines?

Yes. The dotcom boom of 1999-2000 was something to observe. Things were getting ridiculous. Like a food delivery company (Webvan?) planning to seed the US with thousands newly built warehouses and logistics centers, and hiring freaking Bechtel to do that (didn’t end well, of course).

And before that, there was a tail of previous AI hype cycle. I remember training an actual neural network on IBM PC 80286, as our school competition project, back in 1992.

And before that, the minicomputers boom, but I’m not old enough to remember it. VAXen and Usenet, this sort of thing.

Hype cycles are the natural state of affairs in tech.

This is more or less a solved problem.
I agree (and its not often I agree with folk on Hacker News), Apple provide a far superior password service inside a far inferior UI. The handling of authentication codes is particularly great in the Apple ecosystem, but very poorly promoted.

For a company that markets itself as secure these are retrograde steps.

I think this depends on how you interpret it. All the docs[0] say are:

> Patterns which should be version-controlled and distributed to other repositories via clone (i.e., files that all developers will want to ignore) should go into a .gitignore file.

and

> Patterns which are specific to a particular repository but which do not need to be shared with other related repositories (e.g., auxiliary files that live inside the repository but are specific to one user’s workflow) should go into the $GIT_DIR/info/exclude file.

To me it seems obvious that all developers would want to ignore .DS_Store even if only some of them would generate it. And certainly you want it distributed to other mac users when they clone. Further, it's certainly not the case that .DS_Store is specific to just one user's workflow. On all three cases therefore gitignore would be reasonably appropriate.

> Most securities law is written from an investor-protection perspective. Not swaps clearing. When everyone is writing bilateral swaps and nobody knows how much counterparty risk is accumulating with whom, you get a ticking time bomb. (This is what turned AIG into a systemic risk.) I imagine the next shoe to drop will be these firms' compliance departments.

Certainly I agree with you that, in principle, this is legitimate enforcement. They do have the authority to regulate this as you are saying they do. But you and I both know that there are no serious concerns within the CFTC about counterparty risk here, and that has nothing to do with their motivations.

They are very clearly not trying to protect anyone - at least not from derivatives counterparty risk. And they are most definitely not trying to protect Citadel, Jump, et al, nor anyone else from them.

RFC: Improving compile time of Rust project
One approach we started with was to look at external dependencies and reduce the depth of the crate dependency tree.
Past improvements like removing redundant feature flags from diesel resulted in a significant improvement in compile time. Overall, we are looking to improve the developer experience through faster compilation for local setups.
We at Hyperswitch (an open source payments switch) have just issued our first RFC to improve our compile time and improve compilation performance with low resource machines.
From your experience, what are some of the approaches that you would consider effective?
That sounds bad. I've worked in a lot of startups and usually the lack of new customers make everyone focused and on the same page, trying to keep it alive. Most of the fun of working at startups is the adventure and the fast pace.

Right, we’re not talking about a formal academic citation, so the format is irrelevant in this context.

Why does it matter if the meaning has to be inferred? An informal citation or reference is still a citation or reference to something by speaker intent, and is not defined as such by whether or not the audience understands the reference, right?

In any case, citations, references, mentions, and uses of the DK effect are almost always wrong. I’ve seen a lot of them on HN, almost always to imply someone is incompetent, and I’ve yet to see one that’s correct.
I didn't try with old poetic stuff. Passages sampled from 5 books released in the last 2 decades. You can see what I did thoroughly here. Before GPT-4. Basically a comparison between GLM-130b (English/Chinese model) vs Deepl, Google chatGPT(3.5) etc https://github.com/ogkalu2/Human-parity-on-machine-translati...

Mandarin isn't the second language I speak but I officially compared with it because I wanted to test also with a model that had more equivalent corpus training than the very lopsided gpt models. And Chinese/English is the only combo that has a model of note in that regard.
To give an example of the limitations of these things that's hopefully easy to understand, I got access to Bard this morning and asked it to write a limerick. It gave me what could charitably be called a free verse poem that happened to begin "there once was a man from Nantucket." I'm sure they can improve on it (ChatGPT was better at this kind of thing when I had access to it) but "solved problem" is clearly a long way off.
The problem is that children, rather than free farm labor, are now too expensive, while the wages on which the majority of people depend, are too unpredictable and intermittent for the kind of long term involvement 2.1+ children represent.

If countries want to solve their fertility problem, they can waste their time with various tricks and "incentives" to postpone what they'll eventually have to do for geopolitical reasons alone, which is to go to war with their own business community.

Capital controls, tarrifs, sector bargaining -- the exploding heads of think tank libertarians guide the way like lit torches through a swampy marsh.

If wage earners can be assured that they are taken care of irrespective of the spasms of the global market, they can have children. Otherwise they will persist in their state of soft rebellion, which is marked by low fertility and low laber market participation, among others.
He isn't skipping any flights.

Yes and no. It doesn't matter if a tool is required to elide behavior.

In an Ideal World(tm), rust would work more like a functional language by:

- elide lifetimes across boundaries, warning if it weren't clearly reducible to less than static

- elide types across boundaries, failing that show a counterexample creating a paradox

- allow specialization and exclusion of type patterns

- discard some dyn and impl for simplicity rather than invent confusing constructs

- and of course add dependent typing :)
>You will never get two people to agree on when web technological progress should have been frozen.

I am fairly sure most of us can agree with: Not yet.
it's the money part. there's a big difference between doing tech to make money and making money to do tech. It's about finding a purpose that's not just "accumulate maximum cash" with some thin veil on it.

Lots of things fit this unless you want to be insanely cynical and reductive. You can always construct some conspiracy theory about how say, someone working for Debian or at say the EFF is really, secretly, trying to pad their resume and, even if they don't admit it, chase after wealth with some future lucrative payout, but people in practical terms, have different motives. Some people work on say, astronomical data, because they want to work on astronomical data. They like having a roof over their head, but they're not looking for it to be made with gold.

Choose what you work on wisely with caution and discretion. If you want a yacht and a bugatti, go for it, have fun. But if you don't, then, really, just don't.
I don't think they've disclosed funding. But they're cash positive apparently.
Absolutely. I had a 25% discount offer for the same flight when booking through the American site vs. the European one. Unfortunately, they also asked for an invoice address in the states. So I opted out of that airline altogether.

Just wait for the day when airlines buy hotel booking data and increase your price because you already booked a non-refundable room. Or they look into your messaging service or social network for clues in how determined you are to go (e.g., to a funeral or job interview). Privacy is valuable, indeed. Even in hard cash.
No, I'm saying as a citizen of a country that's a member of the five-eyes, I'm more likely to be "reachable" by the US than I am China if I was to, for whatever reason, piss them both off.

To be perfectly clear: I'd rather be living under US rule than Chinese, not that it should matter to this discussion.
That might be, hybrid can work well for non developer roles.

Startups typically work better and faster in person too.

To be clear , I’ve worked remotely for the better part of 10-15 years. To help tip things towards the flexibility I like, I invest and make sure my own setup is much more productive than anything I’ll be provided.

The pandemic shift to egg was a non issue for me, I felt like the world came to me. Still, an in person component at one time or another has been indispensable to make things much easier - be it roll out, training, or upfront discovery. People are much more open to change or collaboration when you’ve got a foundation of some kind in person even if it’s team building.
Those show that sexual abuse happens in the Amish community. That is not in question. You can make that claim about almost any community after a certain size and be correct.

Thanks for posting that, very helpful and interesting.

I actually think the estimate there for "software engineers" is too high, because it's likely that a very large number of layoffs in "software engineering" was engineering management, especially middle management and director level roles. Meta was perhaps the most transparent about their desire for a flatter org structure.

Obviously this is not always the case (Amazon, for example, canned much of the Alexa devices division), but I think companies realized that in many cases there were "too many cooks in the kitchen".
How so? Other than the UI what else can be improved?

LLMs might be a bit of a special case, but branding these other things as "tech" is basically part of the hype game -- to vicariously exploit the aura of beneficence around "tech".

That said, take a look at the Gartner hype cycle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gartner_hype_cycle
The same game has been playing out across varying contexts over a long time. This is nothing specific to "tech" -- "tech" just happens to be a brand with positive connotations, for today.

For a deeper take on the dynamics of the evolution of a new social trend, see https://meaningness.com/geeks-mops-sociopaths
