please note that for the future, during the point when the Hunter Biden Laptop thing reaches some kind of courtroom, if ever.

How can it? The fools who handled it bungled every single step. They passed it around, completely destroying any chain of evidence, and started modifying the copies that they made.

The most damning thing on it was homemade porn, effectively making their publishing of it run afoul of revenge porn laws. Other than that, there's one email that can't even be verified that mentions "the big guy" which is meaningless.

The BBC's The Coming Storm podcast did an episode on the subject:

I can't imagine a continual cycle of chasing after ex-Presidents to find something to charge them with would be a good idea

I can't imagine that justice could be a bad thing.

Hacker News has been a shitstorm of political news since at least 2010.
At the same time there is a different dimension to jailing political leaders, which is why Nixon was pardoned.

In countries like Ukraine and Georgia, they have recently jailed their presidents or opponents. Yanukovich jailed Timushenko. Saakashvili was jailed.

This can wreak a lot of havoc in a country. Look at how the supporters of Imran Khan are reacting, as his opponents always try to arrest him:

It's kind of interesting because, according to a lot of other people (whether they are speaking factually or in an opinionated fashion), Trump has managed to avoid a lot of laws (inciting an insurrection, etc.). Why is this hush money thing the biggest law a Grand jury is able to stick on him? If he's supposedly guilty for so many other things, why is this all he's been indicted on the past few years? Genuinely asking. I really have no dog in this race/don't care, just find it interesting.
They can’t - the statute of limitations will have run out by then (there’s an argument that Trump will make that it has run out already).
It's not directly a problem for you or I per se, but it is a new form of political warfare that will further polarize and destabilize the nation...
Even if a prosecution is political, that doesn't mean it's wrong. Only trumped up charges (pun not intended), biased application of the law, extenuating circumstances, or a bad law make a prosecution wrong,
This is misunderstanding how Russia works - Russia is not a military dictatorship, it's a security services dictatorship.

The Military in Russia is a low-status organisation and it is not capable of doing anyrhing in internal politics. They commonly end up on the recieving end of racketeering by low-level gangs. Yes, people that drive tanks and fire missiles pay 'taxes' to bandits armed with pistols.

Putin was sending generals to their deaths without worry.

Various internal police forces have a higher chance of removing FSB from power than the military does. If thongs get bad enough, thats not impossible.
The sex stuff is merely more along than the others, and it opens him up to more discovery. For example, Trump's client attorney privilege was pierced just this week due to his using lawyers to commit crimes (in the classified documents case).
I’ve not looked recently but when I paid more attention trumps base made up 25% of the electorate. The key question will be if mainstream republicans continue to stick by him, especially if he is convicted of paying off a porn star to hush up an extramarital affair while his wife was pregnant. It’s one thing to say it’s nonsense and a witch hunt by an over zealous politically motivated DA, but a conviction by a jury sets a whole different tone.
It's much easier than that! Living cells already have ribosomes that construct proteins and all the other molecular machinery needed to go from DNA sequence to assembled protein. You can order a DNA sequence online and put it into e-coli or yeast cells and those cells will make that protein for you.
Agreed and disagreed. Trade shows, E3 in particular, was where studios gave you a taste, a preview, an announcement, got you excited. All in one place. I'd often read all the happenings next day for things to keep on my radar.

Sure, studios can just announce and stream themselves whenever, but for some market of people who hopefully isn't just me, I don't have time or will to follow every studio or read gaming news with any cadence, so I won't know what's coming.

But maybe that's just me getting old.
eh, i'm guessing nothing much will come of it and no one will much care. everytime people are freaking out online about something, that's how it goes. give it a week.

but it opens the door to some funny possibilities. my guess is--if it comes to it--biden will pardon trump, which would be very funny. another interesting scenario is if trump goes to jail, he can still run for president, and honestly, i think that would give him a better chance of winning.

and when he wins and pardons himself his fans will be so happy with the fuck all he does in another four years, and his antifans will have a stroke everyday about the nothing that's happening. then the other team will win and the fans and antifans will trade places. meanwhile, in all the ways that matter it'll be as if nothing happened, a straight line from nixon to now.

if you think this is the death of democracy you haven't been in the real world, hate to break it to you.

Trying to understand your use case more, but if you already have a corpus of example code in JS and in Python, why the need to use the model to do the transformation?
Please, do make that argument!

Despite being against the (2nd) US invasion of Iraq since before it happened, I've never personally felt the need to apply the label genocide (estimates of 300k violent deaths and 1M excess deaths notwithstanding). But I am very much willing to admit this may be a result of biased US propaganda that seeks to justify that war and downplay the atrocities, regardless of my not buying into the overarching narrative.

But if you yourself find the definition of genocide appropriate to the second US invasion of Iraq, or any other US military action, then please make the arguments to apply it! I'm not playing some game of "which country's unprovoked war is worse", but rather condemning it all.
Nintendo just camouflages their MTX as Amiibos and Season Passes.

Despite your disclaimers, this seems to be in bad faith given that “all they’ve got” implies he’ll never be indicted again. Also, Al Capone was indicted for what?
> And if you're elected President they're going to, at minimum, move you to house arrest at the White House.

why wouldn't you just pardon yourself?
It’s just so classless. Back in the day you just turned to a rich supporter and they wrote the check directly (Kennedy, Nixon, Reagan, Clinton, Bush). No need to need to circumvent paperwork with Federal declarations on them.

Capone gotta Capone…
I think you misspelled "the United States".
Is it really that serious? Sounds like a fine at worst and although I’m not privy to the evidence I do know that his former lawyer who has testified against him is a convicted criminal and untrustworthy. It just doesn’t seem like a big deal to me.
> Now.. note that they are getting him on some relatively small stuff. All that stuff about Russia, nuclear secrets raid, running bs charity, being peed on.. none of that panned out in a way that touched Trump. And that is the last card to play.

There are like 3 other criminal investigations currently ongoing into him, plus a civil one in New York.

Thanks so much! I like that idea of embracing the mess and letting AI handle the busywork. Making messes is more fun :)
This logic doesn't hold up. If he wins then they have to indict a sitting president and 9 years will have passed, and the "timing == political theater" seems even stronger. If they wait until he's out of office, it's 13 years.

If you treat your life as one big show, any accountability will seem like theater, but that doesn't mean you get to avoid it.
Or the same crime stated 34 different ways. Prosecutors do this all the time
It's so weird. No matter how I ask, it gets something wrong about this question.

> Can you name 20 soccer players whose names contain a Z, and for each one, place brackets around the letter Z

(Z)inedine (Z)idane

???

I don't really understand this thing but is it possible that somehow the token for Z is linked to the token for the pronunciation of the Z sound? That would explain a bunch of these (but not David Alaba or Kamil Glik)

Also why did it use parenthesis rather than brackets.

And why are we getting different results? Could it that the results depend on how much load/use the service is under? That would be kind of disappointing
Bing to share Ad revenue with Publishers whose content used in chat responses
I finished the article and was wondering if the author will show a image of how the dot looks like, and later find out that the first "image" is a video, and Firefox blocked the auto-play leaving the first frame that doesn't contain the dot. Have to right click on it and select play to reproduce it. I like that feature and avoid things moving around without interaction, but I think Firefox should put an overlay with a play button on native web videos, at least on mouse hover, isn't the first time I have to right click to know if is a video.

And for the author, the use of descriptions at the bottom of images/videos is good for accessibility, a description like "Screen recording of the dot appearing" will avoided my confusion, and persons using screen readers will know it too (I checked and in the code there isn't a alt text for that (question: the alt="description" works for <video> like is used in <image>?)).
Weirdly enough, I've been far more interested in local politics lately because I can see stuff actually get done that improves my life.
>Quick question, who is the most criminal president in US history?

Your post is a lot of meta talk and very short on actual....crimes. The idea behind this indictment is that Trump broke the law as a citizen. Not that he did stuff in office that people dislike.

Which law did Obama break which you think he evaded prosecution for on account of being president. Please be specific.
State sovereignty. The federal president can't pardon state charges.

It's also probably not possible to pardon oneself. For federal charges the VP would have to do so (while sitting as acting president).
I don't know why anybody's surprised by white LEDs not aging gracefully. They're generally made by using a combination of a blue LED and a yellow phosphor. The thing about phosphors is they don't age well - they get dimmer with age. So your white LED will gradually get bluer.

That's just an example, but the end goal is feeding arbitrary code in JS and getting code back in Python. Think of the existing corpus as training data.

Or do I have to wait for GPT-4 expanded contexts to fine-tune with prompts like:

> Despite your disclaimers, this seems to be in bad faith given that “all they’ve got” implies he’ll never be indicted again

I'm sorry, I'll try to reword it to come across differently. My whole question is: Why hasn't he been indicted of bigger/harsher crimes already?
This is one of several cases against Trump that has advanced beyond the Grand Jury stage.

Potentially we could see several other indictments. Such as the Federal cases for the classified documents and the Georgia case for interfering with an election.

This is just the first one. Doesn’t have to be the last nor does it mean he is instantly ruled guilty and is going to prison or paying a fine. He will have his chance in court to make a case for his innocence in the face of these specific charges.
100% even if Clinton had done something similar with his sex stuff and got charged that doesn’t mean Bush/Cheney would have been more likely to be held legally accountable. Especially at a time when it mattered.
You aren't in good faith here. Pot calling the kettle black

>As of March 2023, 123 states are members of the Court.[3] Other states that have not become parties to the Rome Statute include India, Indonesia, and China.[3]

I looked into it more and while 7 voted against, 21 abstained so votes don't tell the whole picture. Between China, Indonesia, India and The US you're talking a major chunk of the world population.
I don't know. It feels a lot like the indictment of Al Capone. His lawyers were always concentrating on the big picture but they ignored the small stuff and the government was able to catch him on tax evasion.

Getting indictment of any sort can lead to larger ones.
Ask HN: New Job Remorse
Last year I hit a wall motivation wise at my old job after 4 years, so I changed to a new one. I'm about 5 months in at the new place and it's not been what I was hoping for in pretty much every regard. I'm a staff-level engineer with about 15 years exp.

- Some of the work is in a technical area I don't enjoy but kind of circumstantially stumbled into in the last 2-3 years. One of the reasons I left my old team was to try and get away from it but somehow it has landed on my plate once again

- My direct manager and the line-level manager are pretty bad. They don't have a view on anything, they're pretty detached and don't really provide any leadership

- The engineering level on the new team is quite a bit lower than my old team. If the other aspects of the job were fine I would just work to raise the level but they aren't and so the whole thing just feels like a big downgrade

- Because of delayed RSU vest I need to get to about the 1 year mark to break even financially

Has any regretted moving jobs before? What did you do?

The article provides references to the original papers and other articles explaining the subject, which can be great sources to dive deeper.
It's the opposite, using personal funds is the crime because it should have been a disclosed campaign contribution. Trump also went through several extra steps of having his lawyer and CFO create shell companies and then funnel payments and kickbacks through them falsifying documents all along the way. I'm assuming the DA of a city can't bring FEC violation charges. The charges will be about all the lying and possibly tax evasion. Things his lawyer and CFO have already been convicted of.
There are other investigations ongoing in other jurisdictions, including an investigation related to inciting the insurrection. Those investigations may likely lead to indictments from grand juries as well.

The United States has many local prosecutors that operate independently within their jurisdictions and are not bound to hold their charges in deference to some other charges that may be more serious coming later.
Because I think this conversation is better with the context here and not pastebin, I'm going to copy-paste your paste:

---BEGIN QUOTE---

Me: Provide the code for an http://server in python that returns the code I am a teapot

Vicuna: Here is an example of a simple Python HTTP server that returns the text "I am a teapot" when a GET request is made to the root endpoint:

import http.server
import socketserver

class TeapotHTTPServer(http.server.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler):
def end_headers(self):
self.send_response(200)
self.send_header('Content-type', 'text/plain')
self.end_headers()
self.wfile.write(b'I am a teapot')

Handler = TeapotHTTPServer

with socketserver.TCPServer(("localhost", 8000), Handler) as httpd:
print("serving at port", httpd.address())
httpd.serve_forever()

This code uses the http.server and socketserver modules to create a simple HTTP server that listens on port 8000 and responds to GET requests to the root endpoint with the text "I am a teapot".

---END QUOTE---

A++ for variable naming, A+++ for knowing `self.wfile.write` accepts `byte` not `str`, F for using the wrong method name, and C- for not knowing `send_response(418)` :-D
Anyone know exactly config is needed for training, presumably the $300 is on some GPU heavy instance on ec2? Is $300 of Ec2 p4de.24xlarge which is $40.96 an hour? Or maybe 7-8 nodes for an hour? Something else?
If you're cynical and paranoid enough, you might suspect environmentalism is entirely a smug way to discuss culture and exclude people, a sort of verbal dollhouse for gossip.
I’m commenting a bit late but still want to share some thoughts for some readers hopefully.

Life is weird. Business is weird. Relationships are weird. Opportunities are weird. School is weird. Etc.

Some things, identical as can be, can work for people while doing nothing for others. Everything impacts at different rates.

The one constant is you get out of it what you put into it.

The Y program is by design not going to churn 100% results for everyone for — both the investors and the startups.

You get a shot and you take it and move on. Best of luck to you all.
I could see this being a great option for solitary players (who either can’t or don’t want to play with other humans).
Not parent, but I am relatively certain you can't just kill US citizen with a wave of a hand ( not legally that is[1]). Obama did just that.

That's okay if they can leapfrog.

Google Maps wasn't the first map product. We all used mapquest way before. But Google Maps was technologically advanced. Ajax made maps usable for the first time.

Gmail wasn't the first webmail. Hotmail had millions of customers already. But Google gave people unlimited space to store old email, whereas email in the old days filled up your inboxes and needed to be deleted.

Question is if they can and will leapfrog.

Google Plus was a sign of desperation and utterly failed. The dozens and dozens of different Messengers (sorry I don't even know what the latest one they're pushing is, RCS?) all failed.

As an organization we will see in the coming months and years if Google can still overtake others when coming in from behind or not.
Yes it’s odd because he’s a mentally ill murderer with several issues. It’s not technologies fault that people have poor values which have created meaningless lives of unfulfilled material extravagance for themselves.
The thing about coups is they require groundwork. Trump hasn't done any of it. Support of military leadership is pretty key, for obvious reasons.

They can attempt a coup regardless. It'll just end up being an embarrassing disaster, which is pretty much what happened on Jan 6th.
Think about how much investigations through government agencies have changed since 1930?
This also happened before he was a sitting president, so all the stuff about “Bush Iraq war crimes” and “Nixon’s burglary” and similar historical presidential baggage is mostly irrelevant, at least in terms of new precedent.

The social/civil consequences of this sort of criminal indictment before election is enough to kill a presidential campaign and has enough times in history. As it should be.

This is behaviour before/after presidency when the stakes are far lower.
> bans ICC agents from doing any investigative work in the US.

Doesn't this make the US a safe haven for other countries' war criminals?

You'd think the rule would be that there will be no support for ICC agents investigating US citizens.
This is just one indictment based on the evidence gathered by one local prosecutor related to one set of potential criminal acts.

Other indictments are likely coming from other ongoing investigations.

Genuinely curious - how would you go about getting the parts and building something like a Bottle head amp? I been eyeing them up for a while and think the appeal is that they package everything up nicely, like buying a Lego kit.

It's not in the networks themselves, but the combinatorial ways that we can string them together. Even if the language models themselves don't become much more powerful, there are a lot of really weird things to discover in terms of how we can pipeline them together to accomplish things. For example things like this:

In a way, you can also look at language models as being the new basic operation. Activations and floating point math are replaced by words and symbolic reasoning.
