Even without a bribe, you still have to trust the minimum wage worker at the store. Motivated criminals or organized gangs could send people to apply to jobs at mobile providers. Come to think of it, that's probably already happening... spies too...

There's a big gap between the high trust and low salary that companies give their frontline employees. And despite (or because of) that gap, they're not motivated to do extensive background checks.

But the average employee at the Verizon kiosk in the local mall is arguably handling more sensitive data than an employee at the passport office in the State Department.
> You can always afford to continue - just with your after hours work job nights and weekends.

I don't like pointing out 'privilege', but this is it.

Many of us have to spend weekends and evenings looking after kids, or ill parents. Family responsibilities in other words.

Some of us have jobs that demand more than standard 9/5.

And some have to work a second job to make ends meet.
If they expand, I'm afraid, you're not gonna be part of it. :D

You know, that already happened before. When Germany tried to.
Slow news day I guess, but this probably happens on a very large scale. There are many more ways to lose money than make it.
JPM is in private equity? That's concerning.
I'm building a tool to do just that too, something people can use without knowing what lang chain or haystack or llama index are.
Clunky, at least on Linux.

> ECS incurs massive overhead compared to basic arrays of structs

This is a weird take, an ECS can have its components listed as a basic array of structs as well. None of this is mutually exclusive.
Microsoft Semantic Kernel Enables LLM Integration with Conventional Programs

Should keep poking the bear (who has nuclear bombs). Seems like a really good idea for what is mostly a symbolic gesture.
Don't know what to say about SAAB benefiting from Sweden joining NATO. France got their submarine deal with Australlia cancelled and instead they get to sell less subs and some corvettes to Romania. Unlike the F-16, the Rafale and Grippen programs don't have an upgrade path towards 5th gen fighters like the F-35. You need to re-train the pilots on something else emtirely different. The Gripen is very much built for and suited specifically for Sweden, being smaller and able to land on a motorway.
> He also maintains that someone else will do it anyway.

Which is one of the most ethically bankrupt lines of reasoning possible.

> I don’t hate the player, but the game.

But you should hate both. If nobody played the game, the game wouldn't be a thing. So it's the players that are at fault.
What does it mean for an "advanced intelligence" to want "personal autonomy"? We only know what personal autonomy means as it pertains to persons, and we have never encountered any other advanced intelligence other than ourselves. Why do we assume that "advanced intelligence" necessitates any attributes or characteristics of personhood? This sounds dangerously close to committing the fallacy that intelligence is what makes persons.

We don't know what it will be like to be an AI, just like we don't know what it's like to be a bat.
One avenue is to go through the VCs.

1. Choose industries you like (fintech, hospitality, consumer, whatever)
2. There are ~5 or so VCs in each industry that are absolutely leaders
3. Often these VCs have roles for "Platform" or "Portfolio services"
4. Message that person (I like twitter for this over LinkedIn and even over email), sell yourself.
5. Usually this can result in an email that is sent to the entire portfolio telling them you're looking.
as mentioned throughout the comments I've also seen many situations where patients that were given prescriptions were then turned away by pharmacists because they didn't like the type of clothes that the person was wearing or they didn't think that there was a diagnosis to match the prescription, or that the doctor was too far away in a different town in the same state, Even though the patient might have been taking this medication for 20 years or more... This is only happening recently within the last few years, specifically after the multibillion dollar settlement by CVS and Walgreens that happened in November of 2022... so I'm not buying it that pharmacists are allowed to Trump the decision making of medical doctors.
Right. It's called Sidecar [0].

I mean there has definitely been an explosion of "Ops" terms, and not all of them are justified. I think MLOps makes sense to emphasise the three pieces though. I know people want the "Ops" part of "DevOps" to mean "magic optimization for anything", but it goes back to "ops" as in infrastructure/servers etc. So if DevOps is software engineering + deploying and running software reliably, then it still leaves a big gap on the "data" side - both in terms of orchestrating source data, but also in handling large model files, and tracking things like model decay.
Makes boundary testing a lot easier.
> Humans have now had shoved in their face that many tasks considered "intellectual" can be done by systems that internally are simple, but very large. It also makes humans realize that much human intellectual activity is just autocomplete.

Could you give an example?

I had a conversation with it about the computational model of the mind, and at one moment, I asked it to tell me if Chomsky thinks that the model is complete (i.e., describes all aspects of the mind), and provide citations. It did, with citations and references; I checked each one of them: ALL of them were hallucinations.

I asked it what was the percentage of surgeries done under laparoscopy in France, with references. It sure gave me the percentage and the references; I checked: ALL of them were not correct.

I don't know if it makes humans realize that much human intellectual activity is just autocomplete; it certainly did not make me think so.
Lots of awful things are human nature but that doesn't mean we should let them run unimpeded, much less have the public subsidize it.

Someone let me know when the state coffers will help fund my serial rape and murder campaign.
This doesn't explain the success rates that low wealth immigrants have when it comes to entrepreneurship. It does feel like an analogy someone would write a sudo-intelectual book based on because it 'feels accurate' while being nothing but pop-crap people use to put energy into being resentful or to justify limits they put on themselves.

Is this standard for controllers?
Freedom only for the owners of companies?

Or do you also respect the freedom of employees to engage in collective bargaining, the freedom of employees to negotiate a closed shop with the company, the freedom to engage in solidarity and political strikes, the freedom to carry out secondary boycotts, and so on.

Most of those are prohibited by law, where 100 years ago they were legal. And they didn't require a special law to enable those powers, because they grew out of the right to quit one's job.

> If businesses have to compete, they'll try to make things as nice as possible for the workers.

Which is why businesses don't like to compete, and will form cartels and informal agreements to prevent competition.

> I'm too lazy to look it up, but I keep hearing that in the old days, people could afford to buy houses and feed a family on a single salary.

We also had a lot higher tax rate on the wealth. And stronger union power. If you're going to lazily cherry pick history, then there are a lot of cherries to pick from.
I think we can agree that it's better to be a slave than to be murdered?

The Soviet Union also made extensive use of slave labor, where millions died.

Hey! Thanks for the question.

Our editor isn't a regular coding editor. You don't actually write code with e2b. You write technical specs and then collaborate with an AI agent. Imagine it more like having a virtual developer at your disposal 24/7.
It's built on a completely new paradigms enabled by LLMs. This enables to unlock a lot of new use cases and features but at the same time there's a lot that needs to be built.
was the device assembled in china? or were any of its parts?
My cynical view is that the reason it isn't is because so many papers would not survive the review process. And all the consequences of that, up to and including impacts on getting degrees and even tenure.
> Billions of people are told what to watch/consume by AI through their screens everyday.

I presume you mean Google/Facebook/Instagram. If you consider that an AI, fine, I guess - I'm not going to fight you on the definition. But if you think that Google's or Facebook's recommendation engine is beyond Google's or Facebook's control, I think you are very mistaken. Those are well-understood algorithms that engineers there fine-tune regularly.

[Edit to reply to nico, because I'm rate limited: The entire system is too complicated to understand? Sure, I might agree with that. Google isn't in control of SEO spam. No one person is. It's a reactive system between Google and the spam authors, each reacting to the other.

But Google is in control of Google's algorithm. Complete control, with very thorough understanding. So your original statement, "AI is already beyond our control" is false - at least, it is if you're referring to the same thing that you meant when you said "Billions of people are told what to watch/consume by AI through their screens everyday."]
I wondered about that when reading the Money Stuff article about it a while ago. What should they actually have done differently?

One of the issues was that "she could not share her customer list
due to privacy concerns". So maybe JPM could have pushed back against that more?

"""Javice also cited privacy concerns in sharing Frank’s customer data directly with
JPMC. After numerous internal conversations, and in order to allay Javice’s concerns, JPMC
agreed to use a third-party data management vendor, Acxiom, to validate Frank’s customer
information rather than providing the personal identifying information directly to JPMC."""
I am prescribed to take one pill each day. I prefer to keep this up on the weekends because I like being able to function even when I'm not being paid to. I can only fill a prescription once a month. The pill bottles have 28 pills in them.

We discovered the mesons by photographing their tracks on plates exposed to the sky. They're real, just extremely short-lived.
Sounds to me like the great lakes region would make more sense then. Same reason it was industrialized 100 years ago in the first place. Excellent shipping routes, access to copious fresh water. And, yeah, geologically stable.

They should build a fab in Michigan or Ontario. Labour is cheaper up in Canada, too.
Yeah genuinely that reeks of someone who has never worked outside of tech.
Job hiring sucks in a lot of fields but I would say the trades as a whole have this completely figured out and the process is nowhere near as obtuse as in tech.
This is an excellent analysis, but I suggest that the state of the average person is not yet at a maximum. There are still thousands of major, valuable problems to solve. The efficiency offered by new automation should enable more people to become more powerful problem solvers.
Launch HN: Type (YC W23) – AI-powered document editor
Hi HN, we're Stew and Stefan from Type (https://type.ai/). We're building an AI-first document editor that helps you write. It's similar to Notion, but focused on building a solid authoring experience.

Here’s a general demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpK9PWo0lUw

And here’s a demo that includes math and code blocks: https://type.ai/code-math-demos

There are a lot of AI writing products out now, but we've found that most of them treat writing like a one-shot activity that should be delegated to AI. We don't think that's the optimal way to write. We think of great writing as the product of clear thinking, which requires a lot of time tinkering with and refining ideas. So we’re building a user-friendly document editor that puts the author front and center.

As you write in Type, you can press cmd+k to summon simple AI commands. Most of our commands are grounded in familiar writing primitives (ex. “Write paragraph”) and attempt to understand the context of your document.

Type supports multiple rich block types, including code and math and our commands are able to both interpret and output these block types. So if you're writing an introductory essay about machine learning, for example, you can use Type's chat feature to generate and refine equations and code blocks you'd like to include in your document. Once you’re satisfied with what Type has generated, you can drag and insert the block anywhere in your document (as seen in the demo video above).

We’ve also built a "what to write about next" feature in the document sidebar that offers suggestions on ideas you may consider adding to your document.

We’ve built some editor features that aren’t AI-specific but which we think make for an enjoyable authoring experience: (1) Type is built from the ground up to be offline-first. This means most interactions (search, loading documents, etc.) are instant; (2) Mobile support as installable PWA; (3) Keyboard shortcuts for the most useful commands; (4) Markdown copy/paste support.

We designed Type to be most useful for longer-form writing, so we encourage you to try it out in the context of something like an essay or a technical tutorial. If you try it out at https://type.ai, we’d love to hear what you think. We think Type feels pretty different from other AI writing tools that produce fairly shallow content, but would love to get your honest feedback on whether we're hitting the mark.

Each account comes with a free allocation of AI commands, after which you can activate a paid plan for unlimited AI usage (you can still create and access unlimited docs on the free plan). If you'd like some additional free credits, please just drop us a note at founders@type.ai and we'll refill your free credits.

We'd love your feedback on what feels helpful and what feels confusing or missing. Thanks!
I'm fine with people not paying taxes, as long as they live somewhere stateless and receive no benefit from the taxes.

Anything else would be just selfishness. Forcing others to pick up their tab.
That's what they'd like to believe! Corporations didn't build the interstate network, provide stable economic conditions, or create a literate, educated workforce.
> The collective annual warming effect of these five chemicals on the planet is equivalent to the emissions produced by a small country like Switzerland.

> When CFCs were phased out, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) were brought in as substitutes. But CFCs can crop up as unintended by-products during HFC manufacture.

> The appearance of CFC-13 is much more baffling. “We really have no clue” where the emissions are coming from, Vollmer says. “We don’t know of any chemical process where this will show up as a by-product.”
This. Some people prefer fully-featured large engines (even for small games) and some prefer a set of libraries to mix and match.

I'm happy that a really cool option with a C API exists.
I'm not denying that eventually most controllers will drift, but the speed at which these controllers developed a drifting problem was much higher than what is expected on average, even for cheaper made third party controllers.
I don't think that the world needs yet another chatgpt proxy to mess with source code when copilot already fills the need, they have the engineers and lawyers to make it work.

What I don't see is, unique complex applications with a great UI that don't overlap with the applications like office with copilot, or copilotX.
Human capabilities are greatly limited by other humans, and by weaknesses imposed by biology. The first AGI will have no peer competitors, and no biological weaknesses. A single intelligent human, with unrestricted access to all the worlds resources, with no tiredness or other weaknesses of the body, with perfect motivation and focus, and with the ability to perfectly clone themself, would undoubtedly be able to drive great white sharks to extinction. And that's just with human-level intelligence.

Nuclear bombs are highly unlikely to drive humans to extinction because nuclear bombs could never make improved nuclear bombs.
Instant observability from any REST API using autogenerated TypeScript clients
Loom API solves 2 of the major problems with third party API integrations:

1. Generation of type-safe clients - We autogenerate API clients from OpenAPI specs allowing you to create clients from both internal and external APIs.

2. Observability - Every API call is logged to our platform which allows you to understand how your APIs are being used and how they are performing in real time.

If you have any questions or feedback, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at eric@loomapi.com. We'd love to hear from you!"

Just literally draw a flowchart of what your program is supposed to do, then translate that flowchart. Something like each box gets its own label, diamonds are just some variation on `jz some-box-label`, etc.

The problem with assembly isn't that it's too complex, it's that it's way too simple, so it's exceedingly easy to lose track of how your higher-level thought process maps to assembly code. The flowchart serves as an intermediate representation between the two — something you can reason about at a high level, but can almost mindlessly, mechanically translate to assembly.
x86 doesn't have thousands. That's overstating it by quite a bit. The assembler I wrote contains 1095 encodings. It's from ~2004 but 100% complete at the time, so sure new instructions have been added since. But those are encodings. SAL has like 8 encodings, SAR has 12, CMP has 14, etc. These encodings are just different ways to use the same opcode but with different source/target parameters (8/16/32-bit immediates or registers, etc.)

Someone wrote a script that disassembled all the binaries on their Linux machine and counted the number of actual instructions used (mostly by gcc, of course). Only a tiny fraction of the total instructions were used:

http://0x80.pl/notesen/2014-01-01-instruction-utilization.ht...

Just take the top 30 of that chart and learn those. The x86 contains a lot of instructions that no one needs to worry about. Things related to the ancient segment mode or x87 floating point, OS-privileged instructions (context switching, HLT/LIDT/etc.), AMD-only 3DNow, etc.

The ISA is not the hard part anyway. Dealing with the ABI (System V on Linux) to interface with C/C++ code, the kernel syscall interface, position independent code/executable (PIC/PIE) are somewhat bigger concerns and are going to apply to RISC as well.
New tool from curl creator – trurl – for URL parsing and manipulation
In the /r/SpaceX subreddit there is an acronym bot that will scan articles or posts for acronyms and make a post that explains the acronyms that it found.

Such content doesn't need to be right in the beginning of an article, it could be linked to or at the bottom of the page.
Thank you for the advice. I would like to make use of those tools properly, so I'll give it a try.

Yes but there’s something about having it available on a phone, together with all the social elements (Twitter, Reddit, etc) that’s adding fuel to the fire. Also the fact that engagement probably correlates to trading activity (which leads to revenue) means they have every interest to make the app use as addicting and easy as possible.
I'm not convinced we understand qualia/feelings well enough to definitively say. The presence of eg phantom limb pain suggests pain can arise in the mind, independent of physical nerve signals. It would be a remarkable convergence if AGI's developed the same sensations as humans, but we can't rule it out until we fully understand both how the human mind and the AGI systems actually work.

Summary: I love working on products and features that grow the pie for everyone, leading to win-win situations. Over the ten+ years of my career, I've found that my passion lies more and more with leadership, working to ensure that a team of engineers can be the best that they can be. My work has been full-stack with a focus on backend, though focused on iOS with the frontend.
I don't know. I can understand that as a reviewer, if you see work that relates closely to your own prior work, you would be inclined to point the authors to that work.

They may simply have missed it or failed to realize the relationship before so blindly saying "it's fine I will just ignore that they skipped over my own work" when it is in fact related doesn't seem like the right approach.

If it really is unrelated I doubt anyone feels the need to point to their own research.
Or, in other words: Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? [1]

- It's smaller.

- I can read them without expensive advanced rendering = standard bios/boot/terminal bitmap fonts are large enough.

- It looks better imo.
