Technically, within the language, yes. C itself simply delegates a lot of logic to the "physical machine"[1] by leaving it unspecified or implementation-defined. In contrast, Haskell actually tries to model these differences within the type system and standard libraries, with IORefs, STMs, and whathaveyou.

(In fact, I just checked the IORef documentation and it actually references the x86/64 architecture manual to explain some of the behaviour that can be expected. I would be surprised if any part of the C standard did that.)

> It is dangerous to take our view on an issue and cast that back on a much older culture. Cross dressing and even using different pronouns did not coincide with transgenderism across cultures.

Isn't that what you're doing here, though? Taking a modern understanding of transgenderism (pronouns, cross dressing) and using that to reject the presence of transgender individuals in her historical worship?

> There is no "keeper and editor of Inanna myths". Different people write different little stories and they have different ideas. You can't treat contradictory myths as being meaningful information on the nature of the deity in the general populace.

Given you (rightly) reject the idea of a single version of Inanna myths, what do you mean by "the nature of the deity in the general populace"? Different people had different myths, and so there isn't a single "nature of the deity in the general populace". Instead there were a lot of different, conflicting natures that different people held.
This entire discussion is full of very interesting facts and just useless opinions.

what's a better way to run an economy? every consumer of food goes out into the fields to pick what they will eat? Or there are specialized pickers who pick the food and drop it off in bulk near the people who will eat it? And on the other end of that process, should we all dig our own latrines? Or have a toilets+sewer system run by professionals?

cobalt is a commodity product. when you melt chunks of cobalt together, you can't tell where the cobalt came from any more. Who give a shit how Apple handles its cobalt? If it's doing it on a large scale, economics will dictate what is cost effective because how the economy handles cobalt is actually important, but how individual players do is completely unimportant. If it's important how certain waste is handled, yes, set up waste streams so that experts can make sure all the parts of an old phone are handled, don't as laypeople discuss the cobalt separately from the lithium, lead, etc.

I'm just pointing it out because for a community of people who take smug self-assurance in both their technical prowess and ability to be rational and unswayed by emotion, you all know fuck-all about economics, wear your <3 recycling hearts on your sleeves, and have your heads in your asshats.

As a European on this platform it's ceaseless whinging about the state of SF and how the "woke mob" are ruining San Francisco and the state of the Tenderloin versus Mission or Market or whatever and I don't particularly care to know.

Like I've started to learn the parts of a city I have no particular interest in visiting from repeated stories about how someone shouted and pooped in the street because of boogeyman de jour.

OpenAI API has a larger surface area than just completions. You can retrieve files uploaded through it, you can generate images, you can use the embedding API, you can use a different, more expensive model (GPT4) - and make as many calls as you wish. With a backend, you can restrict what is allowed, add your own rate limiting, you can rotate keys etc.
With fine-tuning you are training on a couple hundred thousand tokens, compared to the billions of tokens the original dataset the LLM was trained on. It won't have as much of an effect. Maybe the original dataset includes a company policy from 5 years ago and now you fine-tune on the new policy. It's hard to guarantee what the model will spit out.

By giving the in-context prompt, it's more likely the model will choose the information you just gave it.

Of course, there are use cases where fine-tuning is worth it. For example, someone recently finetuned a model on their Messenger group chat that was going on for years, about 500k messages, and now they have a model that can imitate all the members of the chat.

Hn is good at filtering standard "one weird trick" internet clickbait. But there a brand of clickbait title, e.g. "Giving up on rust" that is HN specific and works just as well. However, there are mechanisms that bury or down rank stories that "set off the flame war detector" - way more comments than upvotes is the only one I know. So it's more balanced than you might see elsewhere.
90% of South Korean women have plastic surgery, but less than 5% of South Korean men do the same. Due to this, South Korean women now outclass South Korean men in attractiveness. The solution is simple; ban cosmetic surgery. Then there will be more average South Korean women to settle down with the average South Korean men.

Anecdotally whenever I hear a SF resident say the "crime problem is overblown", they almost always live in the nicer areas where there's virtually no crime. I lived on the border of the Tenderloin years ago, and saw things that I've never seen anywhere else. I knew a guy who was murdered in the Polk Gulch, I had my car broken into (and rummaged through multiple times after I started leaving the door unlocked), I had to physically assert myself with my friend to not seem like a target when a man brandishing a metal rod was eyeing us suspiciously, I stepped on a used hyperdermic needle which pierced my shoe but luckily did not prick me ... this is only what comes to mind at the moment as a write this, but I'm sure there's more incidents I experienced that I could conjure after some reflection. Is my experience anecdotal? Sure, but I lived it. Your experience with the city has likely been a much better one, free from such disturbing experiences. Does that mean I didn't experience this though? Or that it is "overblown"?

tldr; I lived in SF but now happily live in New York.
"Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much — the wheel, New York, wars and so on — whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time.

I find the terminology that Haskell uses quite misleading for software engineering. It borrows concepts from category theory with quaint names such as a "monad", "endofunctor", "catamorphism", etc. The problem is that, instead of a "monad", we can say "brrrdogcogfog" and nothing will change -- the name is absolutely irrelevant to the problem being solved. Given that a monad is an interface for sequential computation, a much better name would be something like "Seq", "SeqComp", or something like that.

Unfortunately, the usefulness of this standard depends on the quality of the auditing, and that seems to be sorely lacking (where I live). Recently, a competing company had a nasty data leak, despite being certified (by the same company that audited us). So much depends on introspection and self-reporting, that only sufficient time, money and integrity can turn 27001 into more than a thin layer of veneer.

I'd say this is more about positioning themselves as "someone who cares about open source" more than anything else.

Their main product is proprietary, and they have a looong history of vendor lock-in and anti-competitiveness (including: Extend, Embrace, Extinguish). Giving out these grants lets them present themselves as someone who cares and funds open source, even if their core business stands strongly against it.

Perhaps people in tech mostly now GitHub's and MicroSoft's reputation. But if says "we love open source and even give out grants", its easy to understand why legislators would believe that both parts of the statement to be true.

If anyone wants us to believe that bullshit jobs are common then they need to explain why senior executives who are generally ruthless in conducting layoffs would choose to keep many employees who aren't contributing to profit margins. The number of bullshit jobs is more than zero, but as an economic concept it's just totally implausible on a large scale. This is one of those "just so" stories: it sounds truthy but when you dig in there's little hard data or reproducible experiments.

great question! Coal is unfortunately very well connected on every level of the government. For example, the unions are one of the oldest and have very good political connections, especially to the left of the political spectrum and down to the smaller levels. So combined with the corporations they wield a lot of power. I've also seen major players of the political, federal left, meeting with representatives of these unions.

They are the typical union-jobs with large corporations in the background.

This isn’t true.

The idea that cities must inherently have crime problems is a form of learned helplessness. You think they must have crime problems because it’s all you’ve ever experienced. Try visiting a city that has low crime, like Singapore or Tokyo.

It definitely does have an important impact. They need to find their next big revenue stream, and reputational damage makes that harder. But so does maintaining unprofitable products! This is just a super difficult position for them. They need to try new things, but anything they try needs to work well at scale out of the gate and also be maintained indefinitely in order to avoid any reputational damage.

But it's not a unique problem. I think their peers in the giant mature technology company business tend to take fewer shots and put more investment in the ones they do take.

But they also still kill products eventually. I can't load music on the iPod shuffle I still have in a drawer. My windows 95 disks aren't very useful. The Amazon store I did Christmas shopping at a couple years ago is some kind of boutique clothing store now.

But I do think Google's decisions always seem to feel more sudden, that once they give up on a product, they pull the band-aid off way more quickly. And I do think they seem to take more shots that don't work out.

No, you're not the only one. While I don't like the depressing level of homelessness, mental illness, and drug addiction, I generally haven't felt nearly as unsafe as people always play up. If there's a volatile situation around, GTFO, and don't walk in dark neighborhoods at night, de-escalate, that kind of thing helps a lot of course.

Also, why do we never factor gun violence into these conversations about safety? In SF there are relatively few people walking around strapped. I looked it up, and in my hometown of Louisville, KY (which is no Detroit or Baltimore), there were about 130 gun injuries/deaths per 100k in a recent year -- in SF, about 30! Which is worse, getting shot, or avoiding poop on the sidewalk?

But also, for what it's worth, I'm a reasonably tall white guy. I think that affects how many unsafe situations I'm likely to encounter A LOT.
> I'm not sure what you mean by "user activity based bad content detectors"

I meant that if an article leads to a poor quality discussion you already have ways to detect that and derank it after the discussion starts going bad.

> "Why you should" is a linkbait trope, sorry.

"Why you should be using io_uring" communicates to me that there will be an argument for why it's better. "Using io_uring" suggests a more neutral article.

> but if we didn't edit titles, the threads would fill up with complaints about titles

In this case I'm assuming the complaints would be that you shouldn't use io_uring because it's bad. Editing the title here only fixed the issue for people who didn't read the article then.

> The way HN edits titles, which has been the case since the beginning, is fundamental to how the site works and what it is.

You certainly can’t rule out a large company making dumb moves but I have gotten the impression that they’re very hesitant to do anything which would make companies stop trusting them with private data, and the controls they have like allowing you to control the encryption policy for Code Whisperer data support that. It’d have to be worth a lot to make customers question whether it’s safe to use S3 (which uses the same mechanism).
