No I'm not. I'm disagreeing with you because you seem to have the assumption it's for a year's salary. But this isn't a salary job, it's work that's valuable. So it shouldn't limited to someone's decision about a salary because you're not employing him. It's just however much he can make.
You're thinking of the American Service-Members' Protection Act of 2002: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Service-Members%27_Pr...

The Hague invasion aspect, and Hague Invasion Act nickname, are perhaps largely symbolic; the less symbolic effects are that it prohibits any part of government in the US from assisting the ICC except in limited circumstances, and bans ICC agents from doing any investigative work in the US.

I expected my post to be a roller coaster.

But seriously, taking an HN viewpoint, the GOP has stopped looking at any data other than polls a long time ago (and has only accelerated that trend over time). And real harm is being done to people in the meanwhile.

The super bright light I bought from Home Depot for my garage has 4 arms full of LEDs. But it screws into a standard socket, so when I need to replace it (long before its time I'm sure) I'll just unscrew it and screw in a new one.

I had an over-the-stove microwave with an overhead light. When the bulb burned out I replaced it with a LED. The new bulb outlasted the microwave.
So it remains sealed until the trial?
A few years ago I struggled to find a good next step to go from Scratch to Python. A couple of platforms advocated the approach of have one tab with block code and another with the equivalent text-based code. That didn't seem to work, because it was just easier for the kid to stay in the graphical tab and not really absorb what was happening in the text-based code.

I ended up making something myself, a web-based Python tutorial that uses Turtle graphics and trinket.io. It's more of a tutorial and not gamified and doesn't have substantial projects like building games. It introduces Python elements in steps where the student has to use them to draw some graphics using Turtle. Worked out pretty well to get my kid launched in the direction where he now does more substantial Python projects.

Added: I structured it using the PRIMM approach.
Founder and author here. Yes, while there were other external factors beyond our control, e.g. bad market, I think we failed primarily because our product was a nice-to-have and easy for customers to justify not paying for.

Sadly, building a must-have developer tools product is incredibly difficult as users are often not the primary buyers. One trick that some founders use is to postpone launching for real until after they raise one or multiple rounds. This way, they won't be held accountable for growth and revenue numbers. But that's dangerous since they can build for years with confidence, not realizing the flaws in their product positioning.

Startups are just really hard...

Even if it’s a conviction I hope the sentencing is appropriate. Wealthy men making sex workers wealthier in order to not disrupt their ostensibly conservative social values is pretty low on my own criminal punishment tier list (especially compared to something that happened during the presidency like the burglary of election-connected properties by Nixon, or more favourable to Clinton’s consensual acts vs his credibility destroying behaviour after). The social/civil consequences of the reveal are often good enough and mostly a pure self-own. If it really is about a misappropriation of some campaign funds/laws then sure I hope there’s an adequate punishment scaled to the crime.

It’s often difficult to disconnect the actual crimes from wanting Justice generally for a person’s net life behaviour… which isn’t how this works IRL nor how it should work. Whether other crimes and social taboos should be better enforced is another matter entirely.
If Google were specifically going to ChatGPT to get its output and train off of it, they could be sued for breach of contract - and OpenAI would likely have a pretty good argument:

- they specifically tried extracting and learning from our model when it says you can't in our TOS

- this makes it easier for them to compete with us via the data they obtain in their breach of contract

- more businesses and enterprises might pass up on renting a shared or dedicated instance from us if they can just get it from Google

It is possible to refrain from oversimplifying (all police officers are "bad", all unions are "bad") while still synthesizing a plausible theory:

Police union interests are aligned with the interests of drug cartels and other grave threats to society, for each keeps the other relevant.

What a lot of people miss when wondering why musicians still love tubes when emulations are so good now is: Tubes amps are repairable. Something goes wrong, you can fix it with soldering irons and spare parts. Many of us are sick to death of throwing out cheap microcontroller based crap. It's a hell of a lot easier to bring some spare parts on the gig than a whole damn spare amp, and tube amps don't depreciate to garbage in five years. (Good micro-controller based stuff is a different story, but amp emulators are not built like top of the line digital equipment.)
This seems like an obvious call to civil war when we jail an ex-president who is the frontrunner for the next election

Yeah, we should just let politicians get away with criminal activity because of some vague concern that civil war is going to break out.

the centrist blob thinks that they can get away with this utilizing a largely right-wing military, an extremely right-wing police force, and a extremely well-armed and numerous right-wing element of the population. It's madness.

It's astonishing to me that your view is that we shouldn't pursue justice out of fear that the right-er half of the country will react violently. You're literally just saying that we should give in to terrorists before they've even shown their hand. Absolute insanity.
I just played a short campaign set in the Dresden Files universe. I started in 5e and asked ChatGPT to recommend a more appropriate system. It recommended Fate so I started over with that. GPT walked me through a different setup without stats and DM’ed a decent adventure. It understood nuances of how I used spells and let me capture a cult leader, imprison them and interrogate them to reveal more of the story.
Late to the thread here, but the paper announcing Med-PaLM (https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.13138) does not report many benchmark results on Med-PaLM and is instead mostly about Flan-PaLM 540B (which is compared against in this paper). I am curious if any other Med-PaLM benchmarks have been published but I don't believe it is currently possible to do any further comparison against Med-PaLM given that the model is not public and no other open benchmark results are reported in the original Med-PaLM paper.
The unfortunate thing is that many people do look at this article as a political piece. That it is, but it is also a piece of news that carries with it significant impact to our judicial system. It is an unprecedented case. Surely its novelty alone qualifies it for HN readers, much less its complexity or implications. Whether looking at it as a political piece, or a curiosity, that is a choice.
The problem isn't the payment. It's the payment with campaign contributions.
Also of note is that Edwards was acquitted and the Biden justice department, the previous NY district attorney, and even Bragg himself previously, has already rejected going after Trump for FEC violations that are apparently at the heart of how he’s constructed a felony charge.
Yeah, except the West isn't equal to the world and chances of Russian generals handing Putin to ICC are the same as US generals delivering Bush or Obama to the ICC.

> I'd do YC again in a heartbeat.

I think this captures my opinion too, in spirit.

That said, there's definitely diminishing returns doing an accelerator for a 2nd time. I did Techstars NYC 3 years after doing YC, and no complaints but once you're part of the YC (or Techstars) network, you're in and you know all the core teachings / philosophies - sort of like a college degree.

Plus, you already have the experience of starting and running a company.

100% do an accelerator at least once. But doing one twice, I would really consider the cost/benefit.
I served on a grand jury. There were cases where we heard evidence and it became clear that the charged crimes didn't occur. Those cases were not voted on and the public never heard about them. The vote is a formal procedure _after_ the evidence has built a case.

If you run for president the law shouldn’t apply to you? Because if it were, there would be armed rebellion? You aren’t describing a democracy.

Has the indictment been released, or is that a leak from someone with knowledge?

That cannot happen without a significant change to the constitution which will never happen.

Once or twice, although it wasn't a major sort of fair. There were a lot of animals, and now that I think about it, quite a wide variety of chickens. But it's only a few weeks out of the year, and in summer. And not very much blood. (Don't know if blood makes a difference in this case, though) I'm still a little shocked by the (large) fish gills I saw hanging up on a wall in a market in Hong Kong some years ago, looked like it was still breathing.
The fact that you're factoring in how popular he polls to determine whether this prosecution is worth it cements in my mind that it is 100% worth it.

Popularity should be the last factor in whether someone is prosecuted for a crime.
> The seven countries that voted against the treaty were Iraq, Israel, Libya, China, Qatar, Yemen, and the United States.

Not a great look.
But… the charges haven’t been released yet? How do you already know they’re baseless?

Like, it’s crazy to me that anyone would assert that the charges are baseless or that they’re solid before the charges have even been announced. How do you know they’re baseless?

I agree that the number of charges doesn’t make a point one way or another, about the strength of the charges.

Let us assume, for the sake of discussion, that he is guilty of this crime. Should we ignore it? If we further acknowledge that he is a nitwit without an inkling of knowledge about history, respect for democracy or the United States unless it aligns with his aggrandizement, then is this not like trying to nail Al Capone for tax fraud?

Are their supposedly intelligent people on this forum who truly believe Donald Trump to be a patriotic American, holding the interests of the country above the interests of himself?

> Really? Pop culture wordlists are insanely common and small - sometimes they're run BEFORE the general ones because they're so fast to go through and have so many hits.

That's the thing though, I'm talking about combining pop culture words in a way that they are not in any list.

beyonceMadonna is quite a bit different from `b3Y0nm-Ad0nn\ac3`

That's using two words from pop culture, merged together with numerous substitutions. It's easy to generate, easy to remember, and won't be in any lists, and shouldn't be bruteforced (well, I'd increase it to at least 20 from 16) in the time a breach is reported and a reasonable window for changing a password after being notified.

I do agree with everything you've said though.
But it's just software/firmware.

E.g. people dig the usability and reliability of Microsoft Windows, but other operating systems are still used at least for shits and giggles, right?

I've not heard of anyone using anything other than tube amp models. Either that, or going to a guitar synth with a MIDI pickup to make it into a clarinet.
It will break some people's hearts to hear this perhaps, but way back in the day, around 1976, when I was at Bell Labs, we came up with a solid-state replacement for the 300Bs and other tubes used in repeaters (the word they used for an amplifier back in those days because it replaced a person who would repeat, a whole other fun story). But this solid-state replacement was called a Fetron, it used FETs and was plug compatible with the tubes. We had armies of people with asbestos gloves pulling out the hot tubes and throwing them in huge trash bins and plugging in the replacement Fetrons. We smashed 300B's by the thousands back then. Bunch of old junk! was the cry.

BTW, the repeater used to be a person's job, mostly women, they would sit in a small both and a call from say New York would come in and it could not reach Chicago with just simple copper loop so their job was to listen to what the person in New York said and repeat it into the next loop and so on until it go to Chicago, the longest loop would be maybe 100 miles. Originally the booth was 2 feet wide, just wide enough for a woman to fit into. It was a repeater bay, with little side walls to isolate the sound somewhat between repeaters. This was before electronic amplifiers.

One day, along comes an efficiency expert from HQ who figures out they can add a couple more repeater bays into the line up if you just shrunk it down by an inch to 23 inches. Then later, when electronic amplifiers came along, tube type of course, it replaced the jobs of all these women who were repeaters. Put them out of work. Later came the Fetron. But that is why bays are 23 inches wide to this day. Sort of like the old lore about railroad widths being the same as roman carriages,this was the lore passed down to me from what were the old timers then. Guess that's me now :)
Same here. Sad thing is that I used to enjoy following politics. Now, I just steer clear entirely.

It’s all a farce, both sides. The media needs to stop making Trump relevant so that we all can move on.
Do you really see commensurate potential harm between an extreme scenario and a mundane one?

The development of AGI is an extreme, extreme scenario.
Also, driving at zero miles per hour reduces car accidents to zero... obviously this is good to reduce accidents but frankly mildly annoying for the vast majority of people actually trying to get somewhere. They quoted percentage changes, but if it went from a huge number to a smaller number that would be interesting, but if they went from 0.01% to 0.080% but now a million people have to spend another 20 minutes in the car, I question the net human value. At some point I'd rather live my life not sitting in a car an extra year of my life and risk a minor accident.

I know it is campaign finance fraud that is the actual charge, but that fact that of all the possible things they could have charged him with, it's something tied to a sexual act feels so both disappointing and so American. It's likely they can actually get a conviction, so I guess there's that.

You can already assume right-wing media will spin this into "Really? All you could get him for was a BJ?" Feels a bit like the late-night comedy of the Clinton impeachment.
Can I use OpenAI embeddings to transform code from one language to another? Let's say I have a corpus of example code in JS and the same exact code in Python, with the goal of feeding the modal arbitrary JS and getting Python back. If the files are too long to fit within the OpenAI token limits as prompts, can I use embeddings for that purpose?
I don't understand how anyone can justify this perspective. If a crime is committed, there should be consequences. I don't care who it is or what their status is.

Instead of accepting it as status-quo, we should be going after everyone at every level, even more fiercely towards politicians.
> Nearly the entire point of the United States at its founding was that the law should apply to political leaders.

I think that's overstated.

First of all, it was the Magna Carta which established that the king was not above the law, so in that sense the founding of the United States was more "and we don't need a king".

Second, there are frequently legal discussions in the present day as to whether a sitting president can be charged with a crime, so there is at least a substantial idea that there is some "sovereign immunity" (quotes because that's not what sovereign immunity refers to)

Third, the founders were also well aware of the threat of political motives for prosecutions and wanted to diminish them with various balance of power checks and balances.
An indictment doesn’t say much about if this is an example of the law applying to a political leader.
This is my feeling. Just feels like a can of worms has been opened here.

What would John G. Trump (1907-1985) think?

https://physicstoday.scitation.org/do/10.1063/PT.6.4.2018101... & https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_G._Trump

> American electrical engineer, inventor, and physicist. A professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1936 to 1973, he was a recipient of the National Medal of Science and a member of the National Academy of Engineering ... In 1943, after the enigmatic Nikola Tesla’s death, the Federal Bureau of Investigation asked Trump to examine Tesla’s papers to determine whether he had been working on anything that might have relevance to the war. ... After the war Trump became the director of MIT’s High-Voltage Research Laboratory, a position he held from 1946 until his retirement in 1980.
Exactly. I also guarantee you that this 2011 prosecution was of remote interest and wasn't raced to the top of HN at the time and even if it was posted it would be either ignored, or flagged to oblivion as it is off-topic.

Furthermore, I don't see how is this whole thread is related to 'Hacker News', or where this is 'intellectually interesting' as it is already reported in the news.

It is only for pure politics and a degraded comments section with flamebait.

Trump pissed off all the higher ups at the military.

And what would they do anyways? Start overturning jury results they don't like? That's effectively military rule, and they know that'd just end in disaster.
