Well, I feel bad for these folks, and I empathize with their situation. This is a situation where maybe seeking help is a good idea, because it's not good to sit with this feeling day in and day out.

The reality is anything but.

Art is not obsolete because of AI. In fact, they can probably, as an artist explore more ideas than ever before thanks to AI, without spending hours on an idea / project that may not pan out. Then focus your time on the ones that you feel will work. The field will evolve, and things will definitely change. People need to change along with it.

What AI cannot do (yet?) is replace human creativity and emotion. It cannot create things (reliably) that appeal to human emotion, because it is not human. It can't tell human stories, and feel joy, sadness or pain.

Art has always been about the expression of such things.
We probably lost the meaning because of repeaters.
And they can be approximated.
You're catching a lot of flak and downvotes for your comment. I'm Canadian yet your general sentiment, made famous by Thomas Jefferson, seems pretty reasonable to me: "When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty."

Yet now it seems people think it's reasonable to fear an elected government (and its civil servants) as if we were subjects instead of citizens.

Back on topic ... the effort involved in tax preparation here is also ridiculous. Millions of man-hours wasted every year on this. !!? Reform is needed.
I don't think the first sentence of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35366133 was snarky. Interpretations differ, of course, and often by quite a bit when someone is speaking to you personally, but FWIW that sounds rather neutral to my ear.
What about the rule of law? Isn't it important? Isn't it possible that Trump committed a crime and should be prosecuted?
But all of the things you cite are "not indicted, yet". They're literally active investigations for all of those things.

At the federal level, Jack Smith is currently investigating the January 6th case, the related forgery of documents, and the classified documents. Since he's a special prosecutor if he declines to indict on the things in his remit he's required to file a report to Merrick Garland with his declination decision and reasoning. That hasn't happened yet.

Similarly for Georgia, a Special Grand Jury made a report recommending he be indicted. That then goes to a Grand Jury, which will make the decision on whether he be indicted. That Grand Jury hasn't sat yet, so that's also in process.

So, all of those things are in process. They haven't made a decision not to indict yet, so it's incorrect to draw conclusions assuming he won't be indicted for those things yet. It's too early to say, for each of the things you identified.

That’s very much because the IRS doesn’t have the funds for complex legal action.
It is exactly the opposite, yes.
SF is actually contorting itself (ie, blatantly lying) to avoid showing the standardized test results which show how badly this policy has performed.
I’ve increasingly been using pgvector. It’s an excellent workflow when you can just include similarity search as another where clause in your sql query.
Low power inference chips already exist and digital computing uses exponentially less power every year.
"A few dollars" is a bad way to describe the difference between $2 and $25.
It's too early to say if it's a weak case because we just don't know the details. There are (AFAIK unconfirmed) reports that there are 34 charges in the indictment. You wouldn't get that just from the Stormy Daniels payoff so, if true, there's more to this indictment. Maybe related to the Trump Organization fraud? We can only speculate.

This will be unsealed when Trump is processed and arraigned. I believe this is set for Tuesday. Note that processing includes the mug shot, fingerprinting and DNA.

My understanding is the payoff was upgraded to a felony because it had to be. If it were a misdemeanour it would be beyond the statute of limitations. So this isn't even a case where the prosecutor has "insurance" with a lesser charge. A felony seems to require actual intent, as in knowing this would impact the election. Whose to say it wasn't done to protect his marriage, for example? Of course, there may be evidence to support this.

But I have trouble believing the Manhattan DA would indict just on this (alleged) offence. There has to be more to this. Hopefully we'll learn a lot more next week.
If they're a dime a dozen (I don't think they are), then we should either make sure to provide high visibility instances in order to dissuade others from breaking the law, or we should change the laws if we don't think they are worth enforcing.

That's awfully rich coming from a guy who signed off on warrantless wiretapping on American soil, "enhanced interrogation techniques", and believes in "Unitary Executive Theory".
Nah, Steve was smarter than that. First, removing the floppy bought Apple millions of dollars worth of publicity - it seemed scandalous and people still remember it 25 years later just like he somehow got away with using public domain images of Ghandi and Martin Luther King to hawk consumer electronics. It was as if Albert Einstein personally thought you should really buy an iPod.

Second, as with all of Apple products, aesthetics concerns were more important than functionality. If you've ever dealt with that original iMac, it's a tight fit. The design ratios would be off with a floppy so it had to go.

Now I wish it didn't also have a bios battery that would freaking explode at about the 10 year mark, splattering battery acid everywhere and destroying the hardware but that's part of the long tradition of Apple's occasional exploding devices.
> To be perfectly clear, I am not a fan of Donald Trump, and personally think he is likely guilty. I'm just commenting on a specific aspect of the case that I find interesting.

Why is it necessary to state this? I find these kind of statements very interesting. They tell us a lot about unspoken rules, societal taboos, Overton windows etc etc
Such an exciting time to be a programmer. Although I'd picked Director / Lingo as the horse to back instead of Flash. At the time, circa 2002 or so, Director had much more capability than Flash did but I don't remember it having a very good pathway to the web.
I'm down with it. Though the executive exercising war powers seems as far as possible from a non-president commiting state-level fraud.
It just seems like the logical outcome. This is like suggesting asking for adding wireless transmitters and receivers on car keys and cars, then asking for concrete documentation that they are intended to be used for locking and unlocking your car. If there were other applications for this technology, I'd be curious to hear about it.
It would be nice if it would tell you when you are asking it something that it is not designed to answer
We don’t know yet what he was indicted for exactly.

Is this an idiom? What does it mean?
At GO Feature Flag, we believe in the power of open standards and the importance of vendor neutrality. That's why we've chosen to rely 100% on Open Feature for our SDKs.
I don't think the Manhattan DA has direct access to the full capacity of US intelligence agencies to use against citizens or former presidents.
It's interesting to see that taxes are such a big deal in the US.

I did my taxes in Germany in 10 Minutes a few weeks ago while sitting in the waiting area of our local tax office. Granted I'm just a default working class citizen without anything "special". It gets more complicated if you have some sort of other income. Not for stock investments though, because that's handled entirely by our brokers. Nothing to do there.
One simple reason I assume is that maximizing a given objective doesn’t necessarily require a model to duplicate itself. Of course, developing a child model would be difficult for an AI for the same alignment issues we face, so that is a real downside/risk an AI would take on by creating non-identical children.
Metaphorical civil war or literal civil war?
Thanks for the feedback, no filters yet, but it's highly requested so working on that soon :D
Trust is an important word there. In general I think people tend to overestimate the ability of any given entity, let alone individual, to unilaterally influence society. When "revolutionary" action is taken it often tends to be a result of little more than already preexisting sentiment finally reaching a climax. This [1] is a poll of public trust in government, which is a proxy for much of this. The "Trump years" literally don't even cause a notable shift in the trend.

The point I make here is that the issues are more fundamental than e.g. China or Trump or whatever else. We're like flagellants of the ancient times looking to the Heavens for the cause of the plague, while the answer lay somewhat more mundanely on the rats scurrying about their feet. So what IS causing the massive declines in trust? It's no more complex than those fleas, it's the government behaving in an untrustworthy way. The decline started shortly after everything around the assassination of JFK ended up being shrouded in secrecy and lies, which was just the start of a never-ending series of deceitful-looking, if not plainly deceitful, actions.

And now? The en vogue "solution is supposed to be censorship, even more authoritarian levels of social control, and a borderline obsession with making sure people can only access the "right" message, which is little more than a euphemism for propaganda kept at arm's length. Do you genuinely think these sort of things will help improve trust? Look to the countless countries which were able to execute such mechanisms in times of far less externa influence, like the USSR. The government had complete control not only over absolutely all messaging, but even if who could enter or leave the country. And resulted not only in extreme distrust, but a system that predictably collapsed [long] before even reaching its centennial.

Quite simply, if the government wants to regain trust, the best way to do that is to start acting in a transparent and trustworthy fashion. Yet we're going in the exact opposite direction, hard.

https://www.bloomberglaw.com/public/desktop/document/SAVEJOB...

To folks who aren't familiar with the intricacies of US visas, they are jumping to the conclusion that all spouses of H-1Bs are allowed to work, but this is not the case and has never been the case.

This judgment merely upholds what was already true before (meaning that the challenge to the status quo failed), that only spouses of H-1B who are transitioning to a green card and have an approved I-140 can continue to hold a H-4 EAD (employment authorization).

The caveat being that the primary H-1B holder must already be approved most of the way into the green card process (I-140), which takes many years.
As other commentators have noted, and I would like to amplify, I am impressed by how much functionality is discretely subcontracted to the workflow: options appear when you need them, not as a row of buttons on top of the screen. This could be a partner product to Notion.

This approach seems to work because you have rightfully assumed that 95% of what we create is template-driven.
Clickbait drivel by tech illiterates. Nothing to see here.
I would say a big part was that I was very interested in the project so even when parts of it were difficult to figure out I kept wanting to come back to it.

The other was breaks. I didn't do this all in one stretch and instead did it in small chunks over time. I wasn't trying to ship a final game or finish as quickly as possible so the time scale was very relaxed.

Then the last was to make sure the process stayed as enjoyable as possible. If I was getting stuck on a problem or if a particular path really didn't seem to be working, I preferred to either take a break from the problem and come back later or find new sources that helped me see if in a different way (or both).
Ok: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brendan_Eich
Time, juridiction, and witness cooperation lined up for this one.

The alleged crime happened 8 years ago by now. Some more recent misdeeds might still yield more indictments.

The jurisdiction is New York state, where Trump's status as former president is irrelevant (unlike insurrection related issues, which I guess are federal, and therefore for which his status as sitting president would've made impeachment the remedy rather than criminal prosecution).

There is a cooperating witness spilling the beans on this one. On his mini coup attempt, maybe they were a bit better at containing associates.
I believe this was the offending sentence fragment that implied the sentiment you say is not there: "the likes of which you are unlikely to meet in the regular world"
Yeah but they weren't being persecuted for obviously political reasons. Usually the ruling class avoids eating their own because they know then that the guillotine can come for them. But in this case, Trump is too much of a danger to the war-machine establishment.

Hillary paid for the Steele Dossier and improperly reported it and was fined for it. They didn't try to press criminal charges against her for that or for mishandling classified emails (also a crime technically).

Did you notice how talk of Trump's crimes related to classified documents disappeared completely after Biden was found with improperly handled classified documents?

It's all theater.
The response content there almost certainly comes from the training data from ShareGPT.
I don’t think this would help anyone’s imposter syndrome. Taking hardcore math line by line will yield confusion.

A better approach might be to learn how cosine can be approximated with a Taylor expansion, then realize this is just an optimized version of that. (Even if it’s a different algorithm, it’s still an approximation algorithm, which is the point.)

Staring at math constants won’t get you that insight.
These are all separate cases.

> did he or did he not incite an insurrection on January 6th? there was an entire committee about it. he did, right? ok... so... not indicted, got it, moves slowly

The latest on this is that Mike Pence is going to appear before that grand jury: https://www.politico.com/news/2023/03/28/judge-says-pence-mu...

So the correct status is not yet indicted.

> did he have classified documents when he shouldn't have? yes. not indicted

Latest status: Some of Trump's lawyer's records must be presented to the court:

https://www.politico.com/news/2023/03/22/trump-court-rejects...

not yet indicted.

> did he do something wrong in regards to votes in georgia? yes. not indicted

Trump's lawyer there is fighting to avoid him being indicted (as you'd expect):

In a 483-page filing, Trump’s attorney Drew Findling urged a state court in Georgia to prohibit an Atlanta-area district attorney there from filing charges related to Trump’s bid to subvert the 2020 election.

https://www.politico.com/news/2023/03/20/trump-georgia-indic...

not yet indicted.

The legal system is slow, but I think it's fair to say that in all these cases the legal teams are being very careful because bringing a case against a former President is unprecedented, and they want to be sure it is a good case.
There are free hosting options for Jamstack sites so I think the question is what's the benefit of hosting it yourself vs using a free hosting provider e.g. for Next.js using Vercel ?
In Germany we have a tax software from the government. It is called Elster, like a bird. A stealing bird. A rare moment of humor by the state.
John Yoo argued that the President (Bush) could detain American citizens without charges indefinitely. What were you saying about liberty again?
I got a message on Saturday of all days that my prefilled tax return for 2022 was ready. Logged in to the Finnish tax services website and found out that was the government owes me about 100 euro in overpaid taxes. Won't be paid out until August though.

I did have to go correct my tax information for 2023. For some reason my work-from-home tax deduction was set manually to 900€ instead of the full 920€ that I'm allowed. Hopefully now my 2023 tax filings will be correct.

Sometimes I am grateful that our country is so large and prosperous that it can afford to have industries that exist like minor parasites on the government and the people, sucking just enough for their sustenance off the inconvenience of everyone, and they put up enough of a fight that people accept it.

Because in some other country that wasn't so well off, these entities (and other countless other interests) might be enough to push the country over the edge into [outright inefficient | corruption | drag on economic growth] territory and people would be rightfully indignant at middlemen skimming off people's inconvenience to enrich themselves.

Maybe it's also the curse of having had such a long and stable history that enabled legacy interests and systems to arise, where eventually you need another country to show you what's possible when you start from scratch for you to realize that the way you're doing something is just stupid.
The alternative would be for prosecutors to focus their attention proportionally to `severity of crime * prior probability of guilt`. In an ideal world, you'd see Democratic prosecutors going after Democrats and Republicans going after Republicans just as often as the opposite. But I have no clue how to get from our current world to that world.

What is Health? by Peter Sterling is a lovely book that goes into this. Peter Sterling is a neuroscientist and the "co-inventor" of the term Allostasis (from Wikipedia: "Allostasis is the efficient regulation required to prepare the body to satisfy its needs before they arise by budgeting those needed resources such as oxygen, insulin etc., as opposed to homeostasis, in which the goal is a steady state." )

Instead of trying to become smarter, I've been focusing on trying to be less stupid.

Gurwinder Bhogal goes over this a bit on episode #602 of the Modern Wisdom podcast at roughly 15:00. https://chriswillx.com/podcast/

Some things in particular:

- Focus more on writing and thinking clearly.

- Try to think more slowly. https://sive.rs/slow

- Avoid posting inane/uninteresting stuff on social media.

- Avoid engaging in debates.

- Avoid ideologies, groupthink, and assumptions.

- Avoid correcting people on the Internet.

- Avoid taking things at face value (eg. news and opinions)

- Avoid "poseuring". I am a strong generalist with a decent knowledge of and passion for a lot of different things. I'm the guy people around me come to for tough technical things. I probably take too much pride in that. When someone asks if I know subject $foo well, and I know a little about $foo, I tend to answer in the affirmative. Most of the time, this works out and through intelligence and luck, I figure it out. Some of the time I am wrong and I look pretty dumb.

- Avoid being unkind to others.
This takes me back. I did the transcendental functions for a CPM C compiler in the early 80s using Chebyshev polynomials.

As tantalizing as it may be to be the one eyed king in the world of the blind I assure you that you'd rather live in a world where everyone has two eyes.

I support public education for many reasons, but one of the more selfish reasons is so that I have interesting people to talk to in life. Talking with miseducated, or uneducated dumbasses is one of the most soul crushing things I experience on a semi-frequent basis.

Being able to give your children a world where everyone is intelligent, articulate, and emotionally stable is a priceless gift, and quality public education is a key part of that.

> There's a certain warm tone that tubes produce.

LOL, what? Tubes produce the distortion you hear in most branches of heavy metal, and iconic sounds throughout the whole spectrum of guitar rock.

In its raw form, it sounds awful; it has to be carefully shaped by filters, to remove high frequency "fizz" as well as annoying midrange frequencies to which the ear is sensitive. Even then, that filtered tone isn't something you could listen to via hi-fi equipment or record directly; it is amplified into certain kinds of cabinets with certain kinds of speakers. After all that, some people still hate it. :)
