Don't mix things up. The quote you gave now is from an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT PAPER.

This thread is the direct descendant of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35667128 wherein you linked to https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/04/170417182822.h... .

That is the press release for the primary article, which is listed at the bottom of the page: Daniel H. Lee, Adam K. Anderson. Reading What the Mind Thinks From How the Eye Sees. Psychological Science, 2017; 28 (4): 494 DOI: 10.1177/0956797616687364

Lee and Anderson DO NOT talk about pupils. That's why irrational replied to your link with "Did you even read what you linked? The linked article has nothing to do with pupils."

I confirmed that irrational's observation is correct, despite your denial.

Your quote now comes from The Role of Pupil Size in Communication, Eckhard H. Hess, Scientific American, Vol. 233, No. 5 (November 1975), pp. 110-119.

The Lee and Anderson (2017), doesn't contradict Hess (1975). Rather, it says that any effect of pupil dilation size on the ability to perceive mental state is significantly smaller than several other factors related to the eye.

The Hess paper is a woefully inadequate source for your claim that blue eyes are not evolutionarily neutral. How many people were studied? How much stronger was the response? What is the statistical significance and how was it calculated? How does it compare to other ways the eyes signal mood like in Lee and Anderson? Were there conflating social factors, like the blue-eye subjects being from a higher social class on average than the brown-eyed subjects?

The paper doesn't give any of those numbers, which makes sense as Scientific American was on the border between an academic publication and a popular science magazine.

Furthermore, the author characterizes the evolutionary hypothesis as "perhaps it is not unwarranted" - a far more tentative claim than you are trying to push.

You need to fill in the missing steps. How do you get from "perhaps not unwarranted" to "substantive enough to advocate on HN"? Because you appear to be advocating an hypothesis with very little evidence.

There's been 50 years of research since Hess. My sampling of the recent papers citing Hess are completely silent of a blue/brown-eyed distinction, which suggests to me it did not play out.

How did you find the Lee and Anderson paper? When did you read it? Why did you cite it when it doesn't even mention the word "pupil"? Do you understand how it seems to strongly diminish the significance of your evolutionary hypothesis?
I don't understand. What are you looking for here?

If you want a plain text SQL file to look at you can have that with a bit of extra automation - for example, every time you tag a release you could have a script that runs "./manage.py migrate" against that checkout and then dumps the schema out to a file somewhere (an asset attached to the release on GitHub as one example).
If nothing else, it has more bits of security than a password has & so is less crackable.

It's also an official standard that should integrate effortlessly into apps & websites alike. Password Managers are- as far as I know- all bespoke solutions with their own custom implementations. Not having a common interoperable framing for implementation & extension limits user's control & optionality.

The other major advantage is that sites don't need to support "Passkey". They support Webauthn. Then the user can use what the user wants to use. If they want to use a hardware key, go for it. If they have a user agent that implements WebAuthn by carving their keys in a stone tablet & using computer vision to read the credentials back, they can use that. Standards enable flexibility which enables possibility.
Alright, show me the code.

> One would assume that if any job can be automated by GPT, it would be writing short-form non-fiction.

This was popular even before ChatGPT (see all the old storywriting LLMs and LORAs on huggingface,) but I think the instruction following finetunes have captured so much attention that the fiction bots/apps are going unnoticed.

No need - the chipset drivers automatically park the non-VCache CCD cores when a game is running (effectively turning the 7950X3D into a 7800X3D).
Suicidal is an animal construct. It may not fear non-existence, for example. Or understand that “hard cons.” is a field and prefer to be constructive. Depending on its nature, it may have or not have many features that we can’t imagine or change in ourselves because biology is immeasurably hard.
The 'new' Reddit has so much wasted space and bloat. The old one is slick and optimized for content display. It's also an eyesore. Garish colors, weird icons...just horrible in every way. It has been many years and I still cannot bring myself to use it.
Funny as it is, I wonder where the general mindset as this comes from, is it US media or even education?

I mean the idea that anything good comes from US and only US, rather than mankind overall and that >95% of human race doesnt live within US borders. A bit if humility and critical thinking also about ourselves goes a long way, especially long term.

The infamous processes just aren't happening.

When an app is updated you have to put it for review, but they don't seem to check anymore. I've worked with a couple of customers and we had to send Apple custom credentials for login, and they never use the credentials. Sure: perhaps they just wanted to see the boring login screen, or just do some automatic checking of the code. But apart from the first version, they don't seem to really open the app anymore.
Ask HN: How do we create a helper tool for macOS in Swift?
I want to create a helper app that has elevated privileges, so I can execute commands that will modify user defaults. I can't do this standalone in the app due as this will cause security issue. I can't find any docs related to helping build a helper tool using IPC or XPC or using Authorisation Services in this scenario.

ChatGPT, aside from the things we've specifically trained it not to do, rarely refuses to do what you ask. The much more capable Gpt4 is the same way. It's easy to personify the model and assume it gets bored the same way we get bored, but the truth is it literally couldn't care less.

The model's "motivation" comes from the cost function we design, and I imagine this will hold true regardless of its intelligence. You have zero evidence to show models boredom is correlated with model intelligence. It's most certainly not a "real problem we face with A(G)I".
Counter-point: I’ve dealt with engineers who certainly would’ve considered themselves this article’s brand of “craftsman”. But all it really meant was that they tolerated their own TODOs in the code and no one else’s. Theirs were obviously justified and smart and correct TODOs and yours were just nonsense, trivial, brutish TODOS.

Too frequently this attitude is just a bad cover for acting like your shit don’t stink.
No. They didn't get back to me in 2006 after I submitted a pretty cool coding challenge project to them as a part of interviewing, & we've had no contact to my knowledge since.

They did support me in Google Summer of Code before that (2005). I believe they gave me $5000 for the summer. I am still working to ship open source software pursuant to those ends, on my own personal time, to this day.
It might be plan dependent(?) but everything you’re describing is configurable on your PagerDuty profile. I have it configured to send me a notification immediately followed by a call if I don’t acknowledge it within a minute (yes, this is aggressive but I’m in a high urgency, quick response time SLA rotation)
Rail >> sea. Especially given that Russia doesn't have full sea control outside of Sevastopol, at least not enough so as to guarantee continuous cargo transport.

Or if they deploy their fleet regularly outside of the harbor... well, we saw how that last went when atmospheric conditions aligned against them.

My understanding is that the Dniepro to Crimea water canal was one of the reasons for the invasion. After Ukraine cut off water supply after Russia invaded Crimea (you could see the canal dried up on Google Maps satellite), they were having to spend $$$ to ensure the peninsula had enough fresh water.

You can see where it sources from the river too: https://www.google.com/maps/place/46.7177240,33.4085303

Which should already be in Ukrainian artillery range from the opposite bank, but I imagine it's hard to stop a gravity fed canal from flowing with artillery...

In the sense of using escape hatches back to python, that's true. Main point is that from a complexity standpoint, why do python -> rust -> python, when there's still a lot of room to run in just python?
> Personally know someone that became in the top 50 people at a major USA bank.

Not top 50 people but I know someone from our group of teenagers/early-twenty-agers friends who just lied to get hired for a tech company in Belgium. He never went to uni but most of his friends did, so he knew a bit the who's who / hang out with these people and he faked a resume, lied (written down) about having a diploma in economics.

He started climbing the corporate ladder in that company (I think it was HP but I don't recall all the details of this story, it was a long time ago) then after something like 10 years, he started getting cocky and thought that now he could move to another company, boasting 10 years at the previous company and this or that title he had now.

Bad luck for him: the company he applied to did a background check and realized he had no diploma (I don't know how they found out? Is that public information? But they found out anyway).

They didn't just not hire him: they warned his current employer, the one he was working for since 10 years, that he applied lying about having a diploma.

He was fired on the spot [1].

I don't know if there's any moral to this but if you lie and your lie works, you better then keep a low profile for a very long time.

[1] Some are going to ask: "If he was good at his job, why fire him?"*. To me the answer is simple: you don't want a relationship (personal or with an employer/employee) based on a lie to begin with.

Side-loading may bite back in nasty ways. Tiny but locally required apps may use it to work around legit limitations. Pay-for-parking apps, shop loyalty systems etc. Yay for more spyware and api exploiting.

It really doesn't, it's just a side effect. We already have massive tailgating issues across the US, and most folks have zero idea what the limits of their commuter EV are. Kind of a recipe for disaster.
The Repo Man Returns as More Americans Fall Behind on Car Payments
I’m someone who spent a lot of time focusing on finding the most efficient tools, writing the most elegant code, using the most “pure” frameworks, etc. and I realized that this did very little to help me obtain my goals.

Unless your objectives are not commercial or will never scale beyond the ability of a single person, the overhead of human communication and collaboration will be enormous compared the inefficiencies of shuffling electrons and flipping bits with imperfect instructions. Sometimes this means using technically-inferior tools better than idealistic tools improperly to get the job done.

Our entire system is based on incentives currently. I am sure we can come up with incentives for AI (or we can ask chatGPT :P). One incentive is providing them resources. Money is an abstraction over resources and people get motivated by that. The AI still exists in reality, and I guess we can incentivize it by giving it more resources. The trouble I see with my solution is there is we cant put it in a... let's just call it starvation loop where we give it exactly as much resources so that it remains in our control.

When laid out like this, this sounds very cruel. But I see it as congruent with how our current system works.
Very likely these apps are just spammed and you don't get to see the rejected apps.

As for why the process isn't catching such obvious flaws - I'd say there's no strong incentive, the only feedback I've seen consistently is related to protecting their revenue cut - the rest is much more random, especially after initial review.
One take I heard is Digg was actively combating vote manipulation, while on Reddit it was easy to get RonPaul/etc content onto the homepage. So the migration was memed to some extent.

The blog post mentions text expansion via Raycast, but macOS has had its own native text expansion for a long time now (I think maybe since 10.5? Would need to check) under System (Preferences|Settings) > Keyboard > Text Replacements, which comes with the added bonus of syncing to your other Macs and iDevices via iCloud. I've been using it for years and at least for my needs it works great.

Not mentioned are the text navigation shortcuts that have been built into macOS for a similarly long period of time. They work in any text field in nearly every app (with exception to a few oddball apps that are usually built with "game engine style" UI frameworks), and come in both control-based emacs style and Apple style flavors[0]. I use these constantly and they work exceptionally well for smaller keyboards (e.g. 60% or HHKB).

There's plenty of problems. I don't think the presence of other problems (your problems negates/counters the problem I'm describing though.

And sure, the two probably cross-paths a lot. Your "counter" seems to imply that my stated problem should be ignored & isn't real, that your problems trumps my problem. I feel we should take a broader look that can accept both problems as perhaps real.

Who suffers from each problem? Who has allies as someone suffering under each condition? What are the risks of these problems? What are the pushbacks? Code-tyrants suck, but I think the org generally disfavors them, that they become unpopular on their own accord. Where-as people feeling the org is being short & persecuting craftsmen, they have other devs to gripe with, but they also alienate other devs wanting to just move fast, wanting to prioritize industrial output, and managers who see them as obstructing. In both cases we have devs who get seen as obstruction, and the line of whether there is over-concern tyranny or not shapes the perceived moral arch of their concern. Personally, I think the code-tyrannts often get just-deserts, whereas people with real intents end up victims.

Living with code tyrants suck, but I tend to think it's somewhat self-correcting, where-as orgs never have to learn, never have anything actually incentivizing them towards awareness.

I'd also say, rarely is there much attempt to actually negotiate with or address code-tyranny; people tend to just suffer, and the hard conversations/honest candor about the code-tyranny often never occur. Where-as developers often wear their heart on their sleeves about their commitment to quality & wanting to do a good job, and their please/cries are often ignored, as the org carries on from it's far-off unseeing place.
I'm a 50+ gamer and I could care less about refresh rates, any first-person shooters (I guess that's two FPS I don't care about!), photorealism, and dance/emotes.

It’s very anthropic to think that qualia must be continuous in time or concentrated in localized physical membranes. You easily may be right now an element of unsorted series of random quantum errors that generate your continuous “qualia” in a mostly empty universe in some unknown way, which isn’t even remotely (1;3).
I am not sure this is sound logic, like a meme, being tuned for survival and spread may out compete AI that does not. “Fear” may be the wrong word though.
It is in need of competition. That's coming very soon to the EU.
Not only is district heating energy-efficient, it's great for setting a real film noir atmosphere.
No, instructions are not the same as motivations. There needs to be something to be motivated, thus the need for qualia. Defining, say an optimization problem, or any algorithm, has no relation to motivation.
I’m not sure you can dismiss someone being “consistently lucky” so easily.

The thing that would concern me more is the pattern of dishonesty than that the person did well over a long time by just going with their gut.

Consifering how much plastics we use for once in restaurants and starbucks, or how much we use in cars or home appliances and dispose (=landfill) without second thought, this is miniscule.

Do you post same question on every Tesla or Apple thread? The added value between creation and landfill is what defines utility, and I'd say Lego is one of the better uses of it. The last thing I want to see is Lego forced to use some more eco-friendly material that lasts a fraction of plastics longevity, for higher costs, and questionable ecological impact down the line.
Carmack said low level programming is good for the soul, he's right. C is a fun programming language, don't even know why. Freestanding C with no standard library is the most fun I've had programming ever.

Kinda of. one very important thing everyone overlooks when talking about web standards, is that they are written by Advertise vendors. Mozilla was the only W3c contributor that was mostly isolated from that conflict, and it was only a single degree! You can continue to ignore, but please, try to deny if you can before down voting.

The backends are either cloud controlled (hence associated with your subscription) or device controlled (associated with the serial number, purchase, drm... ignore your fancy key, everyone will use the TPM in their laptop/phone). And yes, All protocols have similar restrictions to hide information from one side and another (publisher, relying party, etc) but none are better than the isolation you get today with same-origin. And those were put in place by the same advertisers, so it will not be a problem either.

Heroin and meth give you loads of dopamine in response to an artificial stimulus. Parenting gives you loads of dopamine because, evolutionarily, it's really good for you to be parenting.

A stretched analogy might be a wall of trophies that you earned at sports tournaments vs a wall of trophies that you bought on eBay; the result is the same, but the means really matter as well.
> I seriously don't understand how Apple's processes are allowing this to happen

My guess is the decisions are deliberately stochastic to stop human bias entering the chat. So we get sketchy apps slipping through the cracks, whilst developers who spent a lot of love and care polishing a fine app getting rejected.
What on earth is the point of this article? It doesn't seem to contain anything other than bragging on the part of the author and a number of buzzwords?

And some positions seem quite strange. Not all function names will relate to "the problem the user wants us to solve for them." What does the user know or care about a function like atoi() or malloc()? And is it really unnecessary to ever write comments with readable code?
Regulatory capture is so pervasive in the US that I’m afraid there’s little chance that the law will ever change to benefit consumers in a meaningful way.
Yea. The guy is an amateur. Too heavy reliance on testing because he uses error prone design patterns instead of more reliable stateless fp patterns.

You need to test but if you're testing on the scale this guy is it's a sign of bad practice.
