You’re not allowed to take it out of your mind and sell it as your own product without permission from the copyright holder though.
I would say, in this author's phrasing, that knowledge generation is a strong link problem and knowledge consumption is a weak link problem.

You can find scientists engaged in addressing both, so I don't think the strong-link only approach would work. I like the author's model but I don't quite agree with the conclusions they draw from it.
My experience with hobbyist C programming in VSCode (with C/C++ extension) is yet to match the experience of hobbyist C++ programming in VS. I'll try out CLion someday.

The biggest issues I noticed are:

- Lack of error indication e.g. used an indeclared variable

- Intellisense meh
My point is that they aren’t on the side of the booker. They are on the side that makes them the most money. Incentives are not aligned to provide the best possible experience for consumers. I would have expected them to at least say “this is not ok, we are looking into this relationship with this hotel. We own responsibility for this hotel that we ostensibly vetted to be adequately integrated with our systems to not fuck you, and they did. After all, we advertised them as a booking on our site”.

But they didn’t do any of that. They just said, sorry, can’t help you. Which is fine, but be aware of that and don’t sing their praises from the rooftops and advocate for them by saying “why would you not use them over booking first party?”

Hmm. All of this reminds me a bit of the rather odd (to our culture) way of describing people as light or dark in Ancient Greece.

Colors were gendered; women could be white-armed, but never a man, who would be described as dark if he were masculine.

Couldn’t the same hold here? The sea is powerful so it is indeed dark like wine.

Do you mainly travel where there isn’t a language barrier? My experience is the exact opposite. Written messages are far more helpful when there is a language barrier.

So the next time you look up at the stars, remember Brownlee's story. Somewhere out there, a manhole cover launched by a nuclear bomb is probably speeding away from Earth at about 125,000 mph.

Meaning the Earth sits motionless at the center of the universe, in Business Insider's cosmology.

And BTW, that weren't no "manhole cover" either.
In your example that's assuming it's a coupon bond, but many (especially the tax free ones) are zero coupon.

So if you buy a $1M bond for $850k, but then interest rates go up and the value of the bond drops to $650k, then you've lost money through opportunity cost, but you'll still get your $1M at maturity.

Not that different with oil fields. If you assume it will produce X barrels, but only produces 20%*X barrels, not only is the money you're making lower, but the value of the oil field also drops (since its value is dependent upon production potential).

Full time working from home doesn't work for me/my head, I need to go into the office a few days a week. I don't think I would thrive in a fully remote job, and I haven't seen a single job listing for a software developer outside of the major cities. In Australia for context.

I also genuinely like living in the city, not for the "fun" but because of the convenience. Everything I need is within a few minutes walk of my apartment.
Genuine question: what's differentiating this from Vega/Vega-Lite? Seems like it uses very similar data format and also seems like it chews it in some of the same ways. Reason I ask? Vega's supported in asciidoctor-diagram and Kroki, since I use Asciidoc for everything, Vega is my heavy duty graph block.

I'm not a Vega patriot or anything, just genuinely wondering what I get here.

You are confused. The EU is proposing that the developers should disclose the sources of training data. That is explained in the first sentence of the article. They're not requiring the language model itself to disclose the sources.

Warranties are based on trust. If you warrantee equipment for say 10 years I need to be reasonably sure you'll be in business 10 years from now. And I need to trust that you'll honor the warrantee and not have dome sort of weasel condition.

Or, to put it another way, warrantees offered by new entrants carry precisely zero weight in my purchasing decisions. If you are new, then -expect- you to fail, and that factors into my decision.
Sometimes a position is unpopular for good reason.
Probably neither of you? I've had better luck coding with ChatGPT when I ask it very concise questions, mainly at the function or small class level, but still asking for enough functionality to feel satisfied. It helps to give it a "shell" of some code, or a starting point of code to build from. I also make sure to ask it not to include 3rd party libraries (I'd consider those under separate discussions with it). It's truly helpful. And that's saying nothing about copilot integration in the IDE which is sooo good.
Isn’t scientific papers both a weak and strong link problem? If you have enough weak links you can now no longer trust papers at all so you need to scrutinise every paper. Which is like taking a swab and viol to your burger chain, run it in your lab, then order the wagyu special.

I think in science people are a strong link problem, papers are more likely a weak link problem. The gatekeeping of review, if the reviews are done correctly should make the papers better. A forcing function for no BS. Like a code review?
PDDL files do outline objects, predicates, actions, etc. in a machine-readable way, but in a much more expressive manner than can be done with something like JSON.

PDDL is designed to be machine readable, but also human-readable and writable. I would say you would write PDDL when you want to provide a description of the rules of a domain to an algorithm that does automated planning and acting. This could be an autonomous agent of any sort, doesn't necessarily have to be embodied/robotic in nature.
Just "managing" is not particularly inspiring. I can have a very comfortable life without raising a family, or I can have a life of "managing to raise kids".
You specifically said you don't think people should have a right to protect their own land or have any kind of self-determination, and that outsiders should be forced upon them whether they like it or not. Therefore, you're opposed to democracy and are in favor of authoritarianism. Interesting times indeed.
Even in that context, it's not really accurate to say that Canvas "layers on top of WebGL"; WebGL targets the canvas element, it's not the other way around. And (correct me if I'm wrong) even when Canvas first came out, the 2D API was optional -- you could always take an array of pixels and render them onto a canvas directly and bypass all of the higher-level APIs. You always had the option to ignore the 2D API if you needed to.

If it's just a context misunderstanding of what specifically "Canvas" is referring to, fine, I don't mind clarifying what I mean by that. And you're right, it's not unreasonable for someone to see the word Canvas and think "2D APIs." But I just want to be very clear that targeting the DOM for UI controls doesn't mean you can't use WebGL or WebGPU and direct graphics programming for charts, or that you can't render a chart in a web worker and then use the pixel buffer with a canvas. And none of that stuff requires you to program in Javascript (except for glue code, which you'd have to write for all of those methods no matter what). In modern web terms when I talk about targeting the Canvas, I just mean rendering pixels onto a canvas element as opposed to manipulating the DOM, regardless of how or where those pixels are calculated.

There is no additional set of abstractions you need to go through to do that, and there's no graphical system for the web that gets rid of the singular abstraction of needing to eventually put the pixels onto a canvas element.

Yes, if you were calling browser 2D APIs, that would have an additional performance cost, definitely. In a context where that's not performant enough, then don't do that? But there seems to be a suggestion in this comment thread that embedding canvases would require working with a higher level more abstracted graphical API when rendering the charts, and that's just not true.
There's plenty of space here for people. There isn't enough space for everyone to live like in American suburbs though.

In the grand scheme of things, music bought on iTunes was only DRMd from 2003-2009. Steve Jobs actually proposed to the music industry to allow it to sell DRM free music as early as 2007 in his famous “Thoughts on Music” open letter that at the time was posted on the front page of Apple’s website.

> What's the risk of lab leak?
I think you are latching onto the whole Sars-Cov2 concept here, but it is really a completely different situation. These lipid nanoparticles are highly unstable and require freezing, careful handling, etc. They include no amount of self replication machinery (nor any coded instructions for said machinery). There is nothing to "leak" per say. I am confident that the paper includes the specific formulations of lipids used, as well as the sequence of the payload (were it open access we could confirm).

> Can these particles go airborne?
Again, "go airborne" is a common fear with viruses. Can they mutate and gain some new function allowing them to be infectious via a new pathway. These lipid particles wont "go airborne" because they don't reproduce, they are under 0 evolutionary pressure and carry a minimal payload. It like asking if the COVID vaccine could mutate and go airborne. One could certainly spray some of these particles in the air, they will land on the nearest surface and likely break or degrade along the way. You could probably spray them on your arm and it would not result in any editing.

> If someone used them maliciously would anyone even figure it out?
If someone were able to successfully deploy a targeted genetic weapon with adverse side effects, it would likely take some time to figure out, but we absolutely have the ability and technology to figure it out today. The result would be a brand new variant in the population which has never been seen before, that looks like a CRISPR edit and is making a bunch of people of one country sick.

> Has everyone involved on this project been working in a lab that has made it near impossible for this to be abused and have all these people gone through exhaustive background and psychological testing and re-testing?
Almost certainly not. You are setting a bar pretty high for people doing pretty basic research in mice. I think we should probably setup this level of testing for all our police, military, elected officials, etc.

Citation 3 is the only one worth engaging with, and it answers most of these questions in the summary. Basically the tech is nowhere near ready (despite what some PLA general wants to pretend), and even if it was the actual targeting of a specific population is not even feasible given population genetics.
None of you are. You are using the tool improperly. The tool cannot spit out entire applications yet, especially if all you told it was the final outcome. I see GPT-4 as a junior programmer in my team who is unusually productive. It cannot do the design for me, but executing it is a piece of cake for it.
Yes, but you are blaming them for being unable to resolve what appears to be an unresolvable problem that a hotel you booked directly wouldn’t be able to help with either. Incentives don’t matter there if nobody is in a position to do anything.

I think Booking.com is by far more reliant upon repeat customers than hotels. If a hotel screws up a booking, sure the customer isn’t going to come back but they probably weren’t even if they had a good experience – people travel to lots of different places. If Booking.com screws up a booking, they very probably lost a repeat customer – Booking.com gets used again and again even when people travel to many different places. Booking.com’s incentives are more closely aligned with the traveller than the hotel’s are.
There is an intellisense alternative for VS Code called clangd (made by LLVM developers) you might want to try, I use it heavily. You don´t need to use clang as your compiler. It scans my CMake output to perform indexing.
Which is weird, because now I have a vestigial Amazon account split from what was an account only used for AWS. I went to delete it on the Amazon side and it's like "you'll lose access to AWS!" and I don't know if that's real or they just didn't update the copy yet.
I don't think he's saying "don't profile", more like "don't assume that all programs spend 80% of the time in 20% of the code". I know I've seen plenty of cases where the function at the top of the callgrind output is ~5% or less of total execution time.
But I'm allowed to take heavy inspiration from them. If I painted something imitating the style of Picasso that would be perfectly legal.

The EU is trying to rein in a completely new and different tech using old ideas about "control" and "regulation". Most likely it won't work and will just end up hamstring itself.

This would be like if internet social media came out and the laws tried to control it using rules similar to physical books and newspapers. They won't be effective and will just create a hostile environment for development of these techs where these laws are in effect. Meanwhile, those who don't care about doing these control freak things will develop the tech and dominate the new sector.

The EU need to sit down and really think about how to control AI tech properly instead of passing kneejerk and lazy regulations. It isn't easy to make a legislation framework for something entirely new. But it can be done instead of ruining the whole thing.
hey I did check the wiki, but I didn't clearly understand and how it connects with a relational database, hence I asked here.

one more benefit of asking here, is people also share their practical experiences and how it is out there in the wild. Such stuff is usually missing from the wiki.
I agree but things are changing: many publishers already require a disclosure statement about data. I think both the US and the EU are slowly moving to a direction of open data in scientific research.

What is this "legislation restricting research"? These companies are not doing "science".

Very well. Thank you for that.

I feel I've probably exhausted your tolerance for this discussion at this time. However, I respectfully request that over the medium to long term you reconsider this unwritten rule. A specific substantive critique isn't namecalling nor is it shallow.

If HN feels that there's sufficient emotional baggage to certain accusations (such as that something is pseudoscience) that the allegation must be accompanied by detailed explanation to meet the guidelines, that's certainly your prerogative. But there's no way for anyone to know that from the guidelines as they are written. As a longtime member who tries to make positive contributions, I was frankly shocked at your reaction.

Warranties can be outsourced to third parties, or have insurance clauses to avoid such issues.
Crappy features - features that developers didn't want and didn't need. Management driven? The headline features on every release were just rubbish that you didn't care about or never used - very few headline features held up over time. This started in Turbo Pascal days - remember OWL?

Of course they were struggling to compete with Gorilla Microsoft, but Delphi had a huge community, commercial components, and most components were source available (C# was wayyyy behind on that I thought).

Borland fucked up, and after that it was dead and sold. 64-bit super was released years late, and the IDE still ran 32-bit (slow and crashy on high-end machines).

I would summarise it as lack of 'taste' for what developers want. Microsoft later followed the same path: Microsoft had the intense love of many developers but has squandered that love over the years. Balmer's "developers, developers, developers" rant was actually brilliant (a perhaps is why it is so memorable).
You might think it's an about-face.

I suggest that it's actually just a better executed embrace.
Pathetic. Just drop the charade, ban any computer tech, and give more subsidies to diesel car makers.
Because it's sensationalist fearmongering from a source with no particular credibility. There's no details on what the vulnerability is, where it is, or even what the risk of not clearing all the credentials is. Nothing in the original Mastodon thread suggests any actual competence on part of the reporter, a bunch of things suggest a lack of competence.

If there was a real and urgent issue, Amazon I expect would have had to make a statement by now or risk regulatory action. (E.g. the GDPR requires public disclosure of data breaches within 72 hours). They haven't done so.

Right now this is indistinguishable from some random dude complaining about a minor bug to Amazon, feeling Amazon is dismissing him, and hyping up the issue to try to put pressure on them.
Perhaps you misinterpreted my above comment. I don’t blame booking for my poor experience with that hotel, merely their response to the situation.

If what you say is true, I would think that there would be evidence of some sort of punitive action from booking.com for poor behavior like this. As far as I know, such evidence does not exist.
> "Meeting online" != "meeting on Tinder", though

Agree

> Match, eHarmony, and the like are more tuned to "real" (i.e., long-term) relationships, and Tinder... isn't.

Two points here:
[1] There are 75 million people using Tinder each month (https://earthweb.com/tinder-statistics/#:~:text=6.44%20milli...), which is a significant amount of the population and it has an impact on culture.
[2] These applications can encourage romance as it can exist outside of the first meeting, though: I would lose out on an opportunity to develop bravery (again, this is my experience) and these apps do not encourage beautiful first-time encounters with another person; I believe Match has the same swiping mechanism based on dimensions. None of them, to my understanding, try to replicate all of the emotions--fear, vulnerability, sensitivity--that in-person interactions demand. Those felt experiences are part of what create romance.
There are two options for text selection.

Overview selection is Pixel-exclusive and that is definitely OCR since it can detect text in images. It's not perfect however, and it doesn't seem to support non-Latin script.

The other way is to use an app like Copy [1] which analyzes app layouts.

Big sophisticated hotels have blocks of rooms at different price points. So, even if there are rooms currently empty but have been reserved for customers who have paid higher price, they won't give them to you.

In recent years, I have not had any booking problems whatsoever. Only problem I had more than 10 years ago was about arriving very late and finding that my room reservation had been released and they were full. Luckily it was a big chain hotel which had another property nearby and was able to get me a room there for the night and then resume my original room for the rest of the week long stay. This was very busy conference week and all 3+ star hotels were full in the area.
