I think that the "hacker spirit" is most embodied over at handmade network.

They're less dogmatic about software freedom, but because of the "get your hands dirty" attitude I find they tend to use open source tools more often than not.

Their conference is probably the only one I'm excited about this year.
Capital punishment is the only sane solution.

When you put a violent criminal to death, the crime rate is permanently and instantly lowered. If you lock them in a cage for 20 years we all pay the bills and they end up coming out and murdering again on the first day out. Total insanity.

This is a good clarification. To be more accurate, I should have said that they chose to spend significant resources investigating the coffee and did not spend resources investigating the sexual assault. In that the accusation of sexual assault didn’t result in any emails and potential degree withdrawals.

Imagine if they had just referred the “assault” accusation to the police. I expect the student would not have killed herself.

Is there any evidence for this? Like any independent audits like Signal and Telegram have for their protocols?
Per the article he is also charged re: the espionage act.

In May 2019 and June 2020, the United States government unsealed new indictments against Assange, charging him with violating the Espionage Act of 1917 and alleging a history of conspiring with hackers.

The GDPR is anything but awful. For all I care they really clamp down on the next batch of violators, the law definitely has enough provisions to do that.
What about doing the opposite of this? Like, if you can tell pressure is building up in a volcano just blow a few holes in it or around it. Preferably with nukes because I don't believe in half-assing this sort of thing.
It's kinda way too late. The ramifications for society are going to be massive and probably pretty bad overall, not even counting the existential risk which is what I think is really going to do us in. I think there may be a path to not everyone dying, but it depends on the right people in government getting the message and taking drastic action a-la Yudkowsky's plan https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/oM9pEezyCb4dCsuKq/pausing-ai...
Yeah that makes 100% sense, the issue is if you switch jobs too often is hurts your chances of being able to do that in the future. So it’s impossible to keep your pay in line with inflation, unless every ~4 years you switch to a role that has pay that makes up for your prior 4 years of inflation losses.
Most of the people I talk to directly about this don't seem to be too concerned about AI replacing their jobs. But, when I look online, I see a bunch of journalists talking about it as if it's going to replace all of our jobs.

Most of those stories lack a concern about AI replacing the journalist's job, yet that is the most likely common job I see where AI might be able to do quite well, given people were willing to talk to the AI about a particular topic.

One thing to consider is that journalism is research of documents + discussions with people + the ability for the story to be interesting and viral in nature (so it does well in the "news" ecosystem).

I can see where someone might build a system that ingests document related to topics of interest (which are pulled from discussions online) and then have a way for people to come in and discuss those documents interactively (like in a forum) with the end product then produced that is a "report" on the topic of interest.
A few hours ago I was searching for an application to display 3d data.

I came across a Goole project.

I didn't even look at it twice.
Imagine you were teleported to today from just 30 years ago, when many of us had been working for quite a long time. Sure. Many aspects of daily life would seem pretty familiar. Cars aren't all that different. In a given city, many of the same shops would even be present. But, almost anything to do with obtaining and using information would be utterly alien.
This works so long as the company giving raises is successful vs the broader economy - however in the process of "creative destruction" in the economy a lot of what drives growth is new firms or innovative firms displacing old firms, thus the ability to pay a raise will be diminished in firms that fall into the "old" category vs the firms eating their lunch. It is just a statistical reality that if you stay at the same firm for 40 years that it is likely to at some point become an "old" firm.
This is fascinating. I live in Baltimore and follow a lot of street connected profiles as sort of an OSINT information gathering hobby. I’ve always seen on instagram where said population has RIP in their bios sometimes for 6-7 people. Really puts it in perspective that in a high homicide rate area, if you’re in the network, your risk is almost Warzone (or higher) on a per capita basis
Of course they don't write things for no reason, it's just that the reason may be something other than it's the truth.

> San Francisco is number 23 for violent crime in the list of cities on wikipedia.

No. It's number 37. It's number 23 with the default sort, which is alphabetical order. (California is early in the alphabet).

It's number 66 when you sort by homicides per 100k.
I think you're not unusual in not having thought about it, but there's value in being able to intuitively extend your understanding of decimal math to cover it.
Are there fewer engineers since AutoCAD was invented and they didn't need to draw everything out by hand? Yes, but not by much and they just have much higher expectations.

I feel like this is more programmers realizing they have to become the 10x they were told was a myth to survive. Which is kinda true! BUT what also is true using AI tools will make them that if they learn to use them, now they need to know security inside and out, systems design etc. Higher level concepts way above a code monkey's pay grade, now will be expectations, all the theory side is going to be much more important.

It seems the former uses binary embeddings, which in ML is used more frequently for similarity search. They also seem to care about orthogonality. Beyond that we'd have to read the paper to know how the embeddings are derived. If you're motivated, here they are: http://www.rctn.org/bruno/papers/
Reading the article, and the top comments here on HN it feels like an incredible myopia people have against obvious solutions that are staring them in the face. Here’s my solution to solve social isolation, that will never be implemented in South Korea or in the current Zeitgist but will definitely work and possibly future generations will lay in shock that we did not do this (In fact we active prevented this):

Create a brotherhood organization, force every male who’s not gainfully employed to join that organization. If they don’t join they go to jail.

The fact that no one even suggests some solution in this form shows to me the irrational bias against forcing people to do stuff. Sometimes people of their own volition make bad decisions, this might be mental health or a host of other reasons. Sometimes the solution to the problem if the very thing those people are desperately avoiding and at those times, as someone who knows better, you force them to do what they don’t want and they will be happier for it.

I will be the first to admit, this solution won’t work for everyone. There is small percentage (probably as small as 0.1%) who actually don’t need constant social contact and are isolating for other reasons. They might also be geniuses (Gregory Perelman comes to mind). The rest crave social contact, probably need it much more than the average human, and they’re just not getting it because they’ve fallen into a hole and taking small steps to dig yourself out gives huge amounts of negative feedback that they would rather not try. In such a case a higher authority like the government should just force them out of their hole and they’ll thank you for it. The crazy thing is a hundred years ago, this was known everywhere. People were basically not allowed to be alone. In primitive Europe, (around 1600-1700s), if a man was seen idle he was put to work under the law. Every man till around 1900s was forced to be a part of multiple social structures, from your guild, to church, to family, to neighbour hood communities and it was often illegal to not be a part of these structures nor was it clear why one would choose to not be in these structures. Sometimes these structures were enforced by law (such as guilds) and sometimes with social pressure (such as church), but all these structures forced men to have regular contact in multiple forms, multiple times a day. Since late 1950s, most of these structures across the world have vanished and people have suffered with modern afflictions that were very rare in the past. The solutions are still the same, and giving people money, incentivizing sex etc is a bandaid not a long term solution.

That just makes it sadder. European talent and knowledge, monetized by the US. Unfortunately the European economic order is incompatible with this kind of startup. We do not have the capital to fund it, because we do not have public markets as developed.
Yes. We’re afraid of what it may do to those people in the future.

There will be those who exist within the system, and those who live in the shadows of the system. And occasionally, when the system fails, people will fall into the shadows. Depending on how incorruptible the system thinks it is, it will be impossible to climb into the light once more.
This paper is interesting to me because it concerns user interfaces that make it easy for laymen to train image classifiers and contains numerous screenshots of the interface visible in the PDF file.

As an example: domestic violence was absolutely not treated the same >40 years ago and the odds of it being reported at all were quite a bit lower.
The reason why it's focused around russia is that russia have a really bad opsec for a major country. Sometimes they contradict themselves, use the wrong plane picture and manage to fail to remember the limits of plane URSS concieved (the MH17 was what pushed me to follow OSINT accounts btw).

The last one i found egregious was Wagner going to a French FOB in Centrafrique (RCA) (the French army left a day prior) to bury african corpses. In daylight, speaking russian, not checking for camera, not jamming low-altitude drones.

Obviously the French army kept the footage and waited to see who woultd publish the "French army killed locals and buried them" story.

While when you have suspicions about recent USA operations (this leak non-wistanding), you find nothing.

That's why i know for sure nord stream 1 and 2 were not done by Russia (we would have evidence already) and i suspect it's not the US that planned the destruction (or at least not the usual department) because of the boat we saw.

Things like this are documented in the Apple sources and header files. Even if there are stubs of documentation they pretty much just give you the names of files, or man pages, to go read.

Once you get up out of the POSIX layers the Apple documentation has improved a lot lately.
That seems significantly preferable to a rent-based system. While you're not investing any assets in your home like you would if you owned it, at least you're not hemorrhaging cash like you do when you're renting.
Ask HN: What is the actual demand for niche job boards?
Trying to get some data points on what the actual demand is for niche job boards and would love some input from the technical recruiting world (if anybody here works in the that capacity).

1. Does anybody work in technical recruiting/hiring that can attest to the use of niche job boards for specific tech domains?

2. What do budgets look like for recruiters and what are companies typically willing to pay per post, per month, or per hire?

3. How do you learn about niche job boards? and why do you use the ones you use?
That’s like saying you should build a wall around ghettos. Would make for an interesting movie, though.
You need to go a step further:

* Mandate that the companies/organizations that claim to recycle batteries actually recycle them, with severe penalties for the ones that bid low and then just send the batteries to a landfill in another country.
> Calling me a commie is silly. I am a socialist come on.

:D Honest question though if you're serious, is socialism just a temporary goal on the way to communism or is it a worthwhile final goal on its own?

> I didn't propose jailing anyone, I am an abolitionist.

More questions. Like, as a libertarian sort of thing, or a anarcho-utopian? In a society that has the concept of property? What would the society do, or expect a citizen to do, when someone was taking their food, or harassing them, etc?

> why the conversation, already about jailing someone, is only about jailing that person

Because the word tenant implies that they need to pay ongoing rent, and evictions are generally for failing to do so. Jail may be overboard in this situation (?) but applying sanctions to a person unwilling to return your property or leave your rental unit seems required or nobody would rent anything and all potential renters would suffer.

There doesn't seem to be any reason to punish the landlord, first because it's morally wrong to punish someone without a 'crime', and second because it wouldn't provide any class benefit to anyone either.

No, we measure from when St Reagan personally tore down the wall in 1987.
I've been around long enough to know there are a lot of people who claim they are not financially stable despite making far more than average. I know one person who said "We are so poor the bank wouldn't give us a loan for a brand new Mustang so we had to pay cash".

There are for sure poor people in the world, but most of them are not reading HN.

When you are in high school or college you are financially secure (baring bad luck - an accident could cause significant brain damage at any time...) since we trust you will finish your education and get a job. We also trust that in high school your family is feeding you, and in college you can get plenty of student loans (too many really, but that is a different subject). You don't have a lot of money to work with, but is not financially insecure, just a known low point in life.
The quote you posted offers no actual information about how they purport to plug gaps in the data:

> And further: Once we have these complete set of reported crime data, along with millions of geocoded reported crime incidents using a GIS, we begin our crime data development process.

> The results are fine resolution, highly accurate crime data that are comparable nationally.

> Our approach provides you the ability to look at small areas effectively."

Can you explain to me what their methodology is? Because this is just marketing-speak and doesn't provide any facts about how or why their analysis is accurate.

Cash App founder Bob Lee, murderer was someone he knew
In my opinion, you could represent "apple" as a vector, for example, [0.99, 0.3, 0.7] in relation to [fruits, computers, religion]. Then, you can create different user vectors that describe the interests of various groups. For instance, the general population might have a vector like [0.8, 0.2, 0.1], geeks as [0.6, 0.95, 0.05], and religious people as [0.7, 0.1, 0.95].

By creating these user vectors, you can compare them with the "apple" vector and find the best match using ANN. This approach allows you to determine which group is most interested in a given context or aspect of the word "apple." The ANN will help you identify similarities or patterns in the user vectors and the "apple" vector to find the most relevant matches.

Thank you
They are not but there’s a lot of lifting being done by assuming a “hypervector” (an embedding, to literally everyone else) for a concept. Does such a separable embedding exist and do you have a good way to find it? Seems like one of those things where, oops, it’s just worse than gradient descent on massive functions.

That's fair. I'm assuming the majority case is simply: device breaks, can't be fixed easily, gets thrown away. I think we'd need some actual data to have a meaningful discussion about it.

Running a server even to proxy requests takes a lot of work, since you now need your own auth system and have to manage scaling. If you take the plunge, a serverless architecture like Cloudflare Workers makes scaling automatic, but you still have to do some heavy lifting to either have an API key or auth system and abuse protections (otherwise they just spam your API instead of directly stealing your OpenAI api key).
By "internet retreat" I initially thought, "I'm going to sit in a room and binge YouTube deepfakes." I was mildly horrified!

Let's just ignore the irony of the folks with "don't tread on me stickers" next to their "thin blue line" stickers marching on the capital chanting about and barely failing to kill the Vice President of the United States, or sitting Senators, as we know they were within a hallway of them as they (our elected representatives) were fleeing and huddled for protection. But I guess the core of their protest, over-turning a democratic election, is really admirable.

But charge them? Make them stand trial? How repressive indeed.

edit: "who got caught up", too cute.
I think the USA is far and away the most reckless here, and has the most funding. China is not having letting their AI labs release all the new models publicly, and in fact, our research is helping them develop it faster, since US companies are open sourcing everything. (Hey, let's develop tech more dangerous than nukes and share it!)

There is no arms race, we're all in a car driving straight toward a cliff, with everyone fighting to press the gas pedal harder. We need to stop, hard.
I still find myself using Google and stack overflow for answers because the logical chain is a human intelligence (me) queries a massive live repository of data, I receive results that correlate to my prompt as answers generated by other human intelligences.

I don't see how AI can replace this process until it is superior than a human agent at querying, collating and responding with information, which is something to be far more concerned about than Google's business model.
Big corporations can force random policies down to employees, while this obviously is bad, it could be worse(push 5-10% of the employees out of the company each year).
