Yeah I don't think it's a good idea either. A person in the situation you describe unfortunately is also likely to have a bad self-image. There's no guarantee that a conversation with a stranger is going to go well for them. If the person they have dinner with reacts negatively in some way it may upset them a great deal and reinforce their negative self-beliefs.

What they need is more money in the bank and perhaps access to counseling services. (That's the best I can come up with, at any rate.)

I spent 1.5 days in downtown PDX (roughly around the Portland City Grill) recently and my experiences roughly match the OP.

It was shockingly bad. Crazy, violent people "everywhere". Tents covering the sidewalks. There wasn't a parking garage around where there weren't piles of human excrement.
> Sorry, I don't follow? SQLite also has durability problems on power loss.

No, it doesn't. Once COMMIT returns, your data is durable.

> You can use exactly the same method that SQLite uses to flush data to disk.

Good luck with that! It took them about ten years to get it right, and the SQLite people are world class. (You can't just copy their code wholesale, since they have one file to worry about and your scheme has tons.)

> With a journaled filesystem, fdatasync() after each atomic operation, and battery-backed RAID, I can't imagine it getting more durable [in comparison to SQLite].

The problem is lack of imagination. :-) See https://danluu.com/deconstruct-files/ (and the linked papers) for an overview of all the things that can go wrong. In particular, if you only only ever fdatasync(), your files are not even guaranteed to show up after a power loss.
For me nuclear power plants were already sore points in national security long before the Ukraine war. Terror targets in peacetime, hostages in wartime.

One way to put it: The entire safety record of nuclear power depends on no major war (compared to WWII) being fought around those plants and secondly nobody realizing ill intentions otherwise. There are ways to sabotage nuclear power, and we are betting a LOT on many societies' abilities to prevent or even predict every single one.
Is Nvidia making good on its promise to Open Source it's drivers a d stuff? They may not give us everything but this must be the third or fourth announcement from Nvidia on some open source they are providing I have seen in the past year or so.
I see these as a relatively straightforward set of problems to identify, quantify, and remedy. It’s a tradeoff between static memory usage and stability. If that additional memory footprint becomes an issue you can make plans to align dependencies.
Setting aside for a moment that this incident did not involve homeless people, we need to bring systems thinking to this problem, and ask what created the environment of homelessness to begin with.

Focusing only on the symptom here is similar to focusing on error logs and system crashes as if they are self contained phenomena and lamenting the impact they have on operations teams.

These issues are signs of upstream problems, and either there are poor coding practices somewhere in the org, or infrastructure that hasn’t been properly scaled/optimized (among a myriad of other possible causes).

This community in particular is well positioned to understand this broader mindset.
Love using it on MacOS and have been using it since 2010. It does everything that Chrome does and additionally has container tabs (you can sign-into like unlimited GMail accounts at the same time).

Firefox for Android is like the dream web browser. AFAIK it is the only mobile browser with Add-Ons support. I hate the Youtube app, it is too addictive for me. I would like to occassionally watch videos on the browser though. Using an add-on, I can keep the Youtube video playing in the background, always play 4k videos, etc. Firefox Android also has uBlock and works perfectly.

Hey everyone, I'm happy to release dstack Hub, an open-source tool that helps teams manage their ML workflows more effectively without vendor lock-in.

dstack Hub extend dstack [1] with workflow scheduling capabilities and user management. Here's how it works: run dstack Hub via Docker, use its UI to configure projects and cloud credentials, then pass the URL and personal token to the dstack CLI. Now, you can run workflows through the CLI and Hub will orchestrate them in the cloud on your behalf.

This is a beta release and we plan to continuously improve it. We'd love to hear your feedback and answer any questions!

Really? I feel like the interpretation is pretty obvious, that all of the cobalt in the batteries is recycled - but no promises or indicators about how much of the battery consists of cobalt.

It doesn't feel like trickery to me, but it certainly doesn't paint the full picture.
Why not? There is an external IDE (SLIME in GNU Emacs) which interacts with a language server to get information about syntax highlighting, completion, documentation, source locations, ...

The idea of an 'inferior Lisp' connected to a GNU Emacs has a long tradition. Usually one did communicate with a Lisp as a process on the same machine. That was long before SLIME. Popular were ILISP (1990) or ELI (for Allegro CL).

The purpose is a more general, providing evaluation/compilation, backtraces, inspectors, browsers, etc.

No my point is that nondeterminism effects correctness. A random script that invokes different compilers is a contrived example, no one would ever build a system that way it is totally undesirable. Moreover, I'm not sure how we could determine the correctness of a system generated by an LLM without auditing the output and certifying each run. Who would ever want to work that way? This just creates problems that don't need to exist.
People (on the whole) aren't afraid of losing stuff. They're afraid of someone coming into their home or grabbing them on the street and things going south. If you somehow had a device which 100% guaranteed your personal safety (but somehow still allowed theft) then (for most people) most of these crimes would merely be an inconvenience/irritation on the same level as low level credit card fraud (where you lose no money but have to get a new card).
I remember rolling my eyes alot while reading the comments in that thread. I would expect many of those people will double down rather than offer any mea culpa.

> People want to talk about crime, drugs & homelessness all the time. It is only in high profile cases where the issues seem topical, that HN can't discourage discussion around them.

Indeed, because that's not what this forum is for. There's ten thousand fora online for general, local, or city-policy political discussion; those topics are only germane in this forum when they relate to tech or the processes of tech.
The authenticator apps are just as weak as SMS against phishing, which is a gazillion times more common than sim swaps.

The authenticator apps cause loss of credentials more often because people don't back them up and then drop their phones in the toilet. The thing that makes SMS weak to sim swaps is also the thing that keeps a mountain of people from losing access to their accounts.
Intent is not enough with such posts. If your comment pattern-matches to flamewar then it will generally produce flamewar whether you intended it that way or not. There needs to be enough information to disambiguate your intent, and the burden is on the commenter to include that.

There have been only 12 murders this year in SF and none of them have been random. And you are literally commenting on an article where the murderer was apprehended within days.

Sparks of Artificial General Intelligence: Early experiments with GPT-4
Sébastien Bubeck, Varun Chandrasekaran, Ronen Eldan, Johannes Gehrke, Eric Horvitz, Ece Kamar, Peter Lee, Yin Tat Lee, Yuanzhi Li, Scott Lundberg, Harsha Nori, Hamid Palangi, Marco Tulio Ribeiro, Yi Zhang

Artificial intelligence (AI) researchers have been developing and refining large language models (LLMs) that exhibit remarkable capabilities across a variety of domains and tasks, challenging our understanding of learning and cognition. The latest model developed by OpenAI, GPT-4, was trained using an unprecedented scale of compute and data. In this paper, we report on our investigation of an early version of GPT-4, when it was still in active development by OpenAI. We contend that (this early version of) GPT-4 is part of a new cohort of LLMs (along with ChatGPT and Google's PaLM for example) that exhibit more general intelligence than previous AI models. We discuss the rising capabilities and implications of these models. We demonstrate that, beyond its mastery of language, GPT-4 can solve novel and difficult tasks that span mathematics, coding, vision, medicine, law, psychology and more, without needing any special prompting. Moreover, in all of these tasks, GPT-4's performance is strikingly close to human-level performance, and often vastly surpasses prior models such as ChatGPT. Given the breadth and depth of GPT-4's capabilities, we believe that it could reasonably be viewed as an early (yet still incomplete) version of an artificial general intelligence (AGI) system. In our exploration of GPT-4, we put special emphasis on discovering its limitations, and we discuss the challenges ahead for advancing towards deeper and more comprehensive versions of AGI, including the possible need for pursuing a new paradigm that moves beyond next-word prediction. We conclude with reflections on societal influences of the recent technological leap and future research directions.

That's how you see it? It's bullshit because AI at this time can reproduce it?

You seriously you are not at risk for the exact same problem, down the line?
The second thing is that even if students magically guessed that the line can grow after the government offers coffee, the answer is still wrong (or at least, makes unreasonable assumptions). The line will grow until the last person in line values coffee + berries as equivalent to the time to wait in line. This means everyone in front of that person still benefits from the coffee. How much social cost is created depends on the cost function of waiting in line, which is unstated.
There are Carnegie libraries throughout the US that are for sale and several have been converted to residences.
Yes, but the execution of the source is (modulo network stuff) deterministic, which is my point.
Which all has jack and shit to do with this case.
Is English your first language? This is pretty clear to mean that 100% of the cobalt used in the production is recycled and not sourced from outside their supply. If their production used some recycled cobalt and that filled in gaps using sourced cobalt, then that wouldn't be 100% recycled.
so you think these gangs are just going to not kill people anymore because all guns magically disappeared?

you do know when they don't have access to guns in prison they then shank people with whatever they can sharpen, right?
Yup, IMHO what was leaked in this case is not so important. What is important is how it was leaked, how long it was leaked for, and how long it took to notice.

edit: OK, I was wrong here with my priorities.
HackerNews is still better than just about every site out there with this high of a profile. Once the bad faith trolls take up residence, discourse goes into the toilet. At least 99% of HN posters are earnestly trying to make a point they believe in. HN just isn't sexy enough to pull in the trolls.
> I wonder if all the many commenters who had preemptively blamed homeless or poor people for this would change their mind in the light of this,

You should understand that San Fransisco has serious problems with homelessness and crime. While some people may have been mistaken about the root cause in this particular case, that doesn't invalidate their very real concerns.

I think sidetracking this with charged political comments and silly hypotheticals trivializes a serious issue.

I also find it interesting that the generally smart and data driven crowd at HN is so ideological driven when it comes to the reality of diversity in sex phenotypes, which are about 1% of the general population, and about 15% of those with autism.
> unwarranted attack on Uber

Uber did itself no favours by lying to the reporter:

"Uber spokesperson Tomar says that the company gave Devi financial support to cover her loss of earnings as a result of the incident, and that the company 'helped her claim her medical expenses under Uber’s on-trip insurance policy, which covers all drivers on the app.' Devi claims that both the insurance money and Uber’s financial support for her loss of earnings haven’t made it into her bank account."

No, when it comes to copyright they're bad - both the laws and the enforcement machine.
I’m suggesting that it’s better to test these in your coding interview. What’s not worth testing is factual knowledge that you can look up.

You would be absolutely stunned how many people cannot give you back the correct answer even after you literally give it to them. If you don‘t know some programming and I give you code and explain what it does, that still doesn’t help you.

There’s some tiny signal of your ability by asking you to memorize and regurgitate something; and maybe a tiny bit more signal in this question by implicitly testing “how do you respond to unexpected technical details in a high stress situation”. But they aren’t worth the trouble. You could measure both much more directly. You’d get more detail about their coding ability by directly asking about code they’ve written and know well.
Cut this crap out. This type of questioning all the time will not be good for HN.

Evolution is not a random process. Natural selection acts on genetic variability in a population; selection is inherently non-random. A component of variability is due to random mutation. Just because evolution does not have a priori goals or fixed directionality does not mean it proceeds randomly.

If it was a hit, it would have happened anywhere, so why are they blaming SF specifically?
As a Latin-American I believe there is something more than 'India' going on here.

There is the overall incompetence of governments so common all over the underdeveloped countries. This causes incompetent and corrupt police and that causes impunity to criminals and danger to the weakest and most fragile in society.

You'll find lots of similar stories in other poor/corrupt countries, from Latin America to Africa, from Indonesia to Brazil.

Although caste and religious violence is a very Indian thing, for sure.
> Trivia CS knowledge questions, such as the one presented here, have their place too: they test whether someone can think on their feet, which is not a bad skill to have.

Well, the author does mention a surprisingly high number of allegedly senior programmers fail at coming up with the simple brute-force solution. At this early stage in the challenge, this isn't "a trivia CS knowledge question", it's simply knowing how to code the simplest iteration over a string and knowing there is something called "a dictionary" which allows lookups! If you don't know this, what do you know?

Discussing leaked material isn’t a crime. Leaking material is.
Oh, right, I remember that now. That was essentially a rental attack that happened by accident, and it was mitigated by the fact that no one was actually trying to exploit it. I think Bitcoin dodged a bullet that day.

There's a healthy skepticism, which I agree can be beneficial, and then there's a loathing as blind as any obedience or conformity can be. "Government is always the problem" or Reagan's "most terrifying words" if not outright QAnon/InfoWars insanity. This particular doofus seems to fall squarely into the second camp, not only undermining government function but putting lives at risk in the process. The efforts of white supremacists in particular to stuff the military (and law enforcement) with their members have been well documented for many years.

Good point. It should be easy enough for me to change my test code to use io_uring for logging as well. It will be interesting to see the results.
Also worth noting that SF contains most of the Bay Area’s high-crime areas, yet the city limits are much smaller than those of most major American cities. So that skews the crime rate upwards. There’s a similar dynamic at play with several other American cities.

I don't think you need to be that paranoid about India. It's a very safe and free country to live in. Not everyone wants to get out looking for work. But with a large population like India, there ought to be some problems that are inevitable. And like any country you have to be careful while visiting as a tourist.
Considering that a large population of sf tech is migrants, many people, myself included, compare it not to other American cities but to European and Asian ones.

I would say that the comparison is apt - since we compare the tech/science successes of SF with the rest of the world, we should also compare the crime rates with it.
