But by your logic, the viewer who let's the ads play but doesn't watch them is stealing from the advertiser. If no one watched the ads then the companies paying for them would stop paying and both YouTube and the creators no longer have income.

meanwhile if you're poor, and you are actually innocent, you can end up in imprisoned for long enough to be fired while waiting for trial or dismissal of charges. What fun.

Because if you're poor you can't just hand over 10-250k in bail bonds. You have an option of course: you can use a bail bond agent, that's where you straight up pay 10-15% of the bail amount and they cover pay your bail. To be clear: you are paying the bond, you do not get that back. So if you're poor you end up out thousands of dollars or potentially jobless.

There's people who listen to podcasts and spoken books at least at 1,5 speed (or even 2 or more). Its a preference for sure. For me it depends on the content, the language, even what I am (also) doing. Sometimes when I found a part very interesting or didn't understood it I tend to relisten that excerpt or episode.

With regards to your example on repetition this is spot on. The value of repetition is taught at schools. However I suppose you, ianai, are aware as well how e.g. people on phone (e.g. marketeers) mention your name to catch your attention.
The very best thing you can do when you're young -- once you've paid off all your interest-carrying debts -- is to set aside some money in an IRA or Roth IRA. (And prepare to just let it sit until you retire.)

It will double in value about once every 10 years. So if you're 25, then by the time you're 75 $2,000 becomes $64,000.
BMath 2005 here.

I worked with a bunch of smarter-than-me UW grads after graduating.

My “how to write large systems” takeaway from that early point in my career was to focus on the interfaces between various parts. What I’d never thought about until now is that is a very data centric viewpoint.

- What system has what data?

- In what shape?

- What shape does the next system need its data in?

- Are the interfaces between these orthogonal? Shallow? Easy to grok? Tight (as opposed to leaky)?

Great article.

My position is that the crime of economic exploitation and whatnot involved with creating iPhones is nothing like that of child porn.

So it’s like comparing a minute to a year. They’re both units of time.

Also, I’ve bought maybe 10 iPhones in my life. This person has tens of thousands of photos.

It’s not about you and me being culpable for our part in using technology made in China, we obviously are. It’s about that not being relevant to someone with mounds of child porn.
There's virtually an infinitude of mathematics at all levels. One could post about any of it randomly, but perhaps it makes sense to have some focus and relevancy to at least - 1%? - of the HN audience. A post on a radically faster new method of factoring large numbers might appear "just mathematical" but it would have extreme relevance to public key cryptography, for example, with enormous consequences overall. That's probably obvious to many - much more obvious than the import of the article commented on here, which is exactly why I wondered and whether it's something of larger importance that I was missing.
Psychiatry as a pseudo-science often relies heavily on unscientific and non-empirical methods of diagnosis. There is no brain scan or blood test to detect or even rule out bipolar disorder or schizophrenia, you just go with whatever the doctor feels like when the patient comes in off the street.

Psychiatry is worse than veterinary medicine: a dog can't talk to you and tell you what's wrong; neither can a dog lie to you or be a deranged, unreliable narrator. Psychiatrists often ask questions which have a specific context or particular technical meaning to them, and the mentally ill will answer out of ignorance, or with a non sequitir, that seems counter-productive to the process.

I have often obtained medical records (it's interesting to see how difficult this can be, and the bureaucratic tricks that can be played to avoid complying with laws that allow us that access.) I've been incensed to see inaccuracies and often dismayed to see the state of things from the provider's perspective when I came to them in crisis. For example, there was one note that just indicated I'd been a chronic, habitual daily user of marijuana for years upon years. Nothing could be further from the truth. But there it is in my medical record, proof against any legal challenge, their word against mine, and God forbid I attempt to challenge it in a followup session, because I'm a crazy, unreliable narrator with a reputation for denying the truth.

It is dismaying that so-called "medical" professionals should withhold the truth from patients and are perfectly allowed to obscure anything in the chart that they judge to be detrimental to treatment. My psychiatrist is consistently unwilling or unable to describe the first-order effects of my medication, what benefits I should hope to enjoy from them, or just in a general sense why am I taking this toxic crap.

My psychiatrist freely admits to diagnosing me solely on affect. If I am sociable and pleasantly greeting people in the clinic, then I'm having a good day and I'm near baseline. If I'm reserved and sensitive, and have difficulty answering her questions, then I'm a good candidate for hospitalization! I was literally steps away from being forcibly committed after one video appointment that went poorly. A video appointment!

I try to read everything I sign, but it's fruitless to try to stay ahead of any medical bureacracy. One day I came in to file a request for my complete chart. The condescending jerk who filled it out put in my name instead of the clinic's, so I was requesting records from myself. Guess how long that took to fulfil.

Even if this would be the case (it is not; gpt already already is producing value and replacing humans outside the domain you mention), people seem to love crap, spam, lies and chewing gum. TikTok and instagram are proof we want this type of content. We want copies of stuff we already like, in small packages and easy to consume. LLMs are great in providing that content.
Ugh that whole talk is announcing a whole bunch of things that make it much harder for smaller devs to get started. They want a signing chain that will inevitably cost thousands of dollars just to get approved with some sort of annual fee tacked on as well, so as a independent dev you can either go through that rigmarole or just not target windows, or you need to walk your users through disabling the smart filter thing first...
It’s complicated.

If you’re talking about transmission between a nearby generation facility and end user, losses are low. If you’re talking about losses in April/May, it’s low. The statistics are difficult because the average losses don’t matter, it’s the marginal losses that matter. In mid-August when electricity demand peaks, you need to generate twice as much electrify at a higher price to get another marginal unit of electricity.

For New York, which is planning to ship power in from Quebec, losses at that distance are very high, and require significant investments in new transmission infrastructure to improve yield. At one point, shipping additional grid supply from far away to NYC resulted in losses as high as 65% in certain weather conditions. That’s why so much was invested in peak load reduction… stuff like voluntary shutdowns in exchange for discounts, efficiency programs, etc. Every dollar invested there avoided like $7 in infrastructure investment.
You need at least a dozen to prevent gaming of the first. It's not even that hard, but you do need to be aware that you need many distinct metrics and you will bring at least one down at least somewhat, and hopefully by repeated iteration you will end up with everything better.
I'm not sure I understand your point/perspective, but maybe it's due to differing assumptions about what constitutes "interview skills." I consider refreshing one's memory about complex systems or challenges that have been experienced and absorbed to be important parts of interview preparation (from your "unintentional" list). That is, "interview skills," in my opinion, includes practice at describing one's experience, and doing this well helps the hiring manager correctly assess the candidate's practical on-the-job skills.

I feel like I may be misunderstanding the point you are making.

We don't really know any of that for certain. We don't know what relationship LLMs and neural networks have to the actual functioning of a human brain. We don't know what relationship current computer architectures have to the architectures that allow us to create properly versatile AGIs. It could be the laptop I'm typing this on is plenty powerful. It could be you need a GPU with 100 petaflops and a few terabytes of RAM, in a similarly sized package to this laptop because the speed of light is too slow when you're working across GPU arrays.

I find it interesting you didn’t give a specific example of needing to “keep secrets” from a patient.

You’re right — this comes across as patronizing and focusing on your own needs ahead of patient needs.

Your field cauterized off clits to treat hysteria and mutilates children despite no proven benefit today. What makes you think you have the credibility to decide what needs to be secret? — or that we’ll believe this is anything other than an attempt to obscure wrongdoing, as in most government secrecy?

Most got overexcited, however, some are making real progress. Those are not the viral ones though. So yes, most will go out of business soon as they cannot get over the hump of improving further on sd or gpt. There are actual paths possible with gpt that were not viable before at all and people are using them to make product that will be launched quietly and silently and change the world.

> In most of Europe, lack of affordability and quality family friendly housing, is the number one reason for couples not having kids.

Its the number one reason people cite, but if you look at the stats, fertility (and this is also true in the US) drops pretty consistently with income. So, its not really driven by affordability in the simple, direct sense. So, are people lying? Maybe not: stress and precarious conditions often explain within-species shifts further toward r-strategy (produce more offsprinf with lower investment in each) vs. K-strategy (fewer offspring with higher investment). We may just be witnessing that in humans.

> I find it quite interesting how they whitelisted their own Surface devices but not, say, Thinkpads, despite them having the same CPUs. [1] Surely there's no conflict of interest here.

That statement seems misleading at best. According to Microsoft's page[0] on that processor, the Dell Precision 5520 is supported as well, which means this support is clearly not limited to Microsoft's own hardware.

Depending on how Lenovo configured the BIOS, it is entirely possible that they disabled certain features that Microsoft deemed critical later on with Windows 11. Vendors do plenty of weird things with BIOSes, which can have far reaching impacts on what an operating system is able to do with the hardware. Or Lenovo didn't provide a necessary driver, or whatever the actual problem was here. Dell managed to meet the requirements just fine, apparently.

Yes, obsoleting a bunch of hardware sucks, but your claim that this was to help Intel sell more chips is extremely dubious. Your claim that Microsoft isn't doing this for security reasons because they're exempting only their own hardware doesn't mesh with the reality of that Dell laptop. None of the evidence here supports some grand conspiracy here, as far as I can tell.

I also found a forum thread[1] where at least one person was struggling to update their Surface Studio 2 to Windows 11, so even that hardly seems cut and dry.

Windows 11 brings support for Intel Thread Director (perhaps not relevant/important to the AMD fanbois here), better support for variable refresh rate and high refresh rates in general, and tons of other kernel and system improvements in the backend that Windows 10 will not get.

The frontend UI still sucks, but it's overall better than the nonsense known as Metro and regardless it's all nothing that can't be addressed with sufficient will.

It’s easy to overstate how important this kind of copying is.

80 characters is a nice round number that’s roughly the minimum reasonable width of a programming interface. It’s perfectly possible to code using a 40 or 60 character wide terminal, but there is significant utility from hitting 80. Meanwhile the gain from hitting 100 or 120 characters isn’t as significant.

Similarly you might have frequently used a 237 character wide editor or similar uninteresting number. Those odd numbers are simply happenstance with little reason to discover what they are or recall if you do happen to find out.

One of the GPs I had in my life gave me the medical book to diagnose myself and when I said that’s his job he just picked something randomly and gave me some pills (that I obviously didn’t pick up). Humans are generally worse than a dice for mostly everything. Gpt might be right sometimes and at least won’t be wrong out of laziness or malice (maybe; we don’t understand why it does what it does beyond statistical text prediction).
(Neuro-)Physiologically, it's not clear to me why the sense of pitch should decohere. It's not like the cochlea is physically unstable, and the hartley-ish-transformed data the brain is pulling out of the cochlea should be quite repeatable. I wonder if the brain converts the cochlear data into some other representation that is not (inherently) stable, and those with perfect pitch have or develop a more stable version than most other people.
I recommend `-fanalyzer` with GCC. I haven't found out how to use Clang's static analyzer.

GCC now has this elaborate (kind of beautiful) way of highlighting a path through your code which leads to a potential oopsie like use after free.

`-fno-omit-frame-pointer` has been useful for profiling using perf.

I built a proxy number for my sister who has to deal with her abusive ex-husband. She has court ordered visitations via phone for their kids. He would give her number to any multitude of people that would send harassing messages on his behalf.

The proxy allows any calls or texts from her number to send out with the proxy number. Any calls or texts from his number connect to her phone. All other communications are given a notice that they don't have access to call or message the proxy number and communications are recorded for court. It does not forward blocked communications to her phone. He continues to give out the number to harass her, but the family court judge gets a monthly report of all the attempted harassment.

"Is this unnecessary? Absolutely."

Sometimes the best things are
No, I didn't realize there's already a feature like that. But as the other commenter said, it jumps around, so, I still prefer my solution.
A member of my family is an interesting case, in that he technically doesn't have perfect pitch, but does for all practical purposes. He has a clear memory of a particular note that he heard as a child and can recount that memory. Years later he is able to identify the pitch of anything by comparing it with that memory. He might think about it for a second or hum a note to himself, but invariably can identify the pitch without have to hear a reference (apart from the one in his head).

He's got the best of both worlds, in that he doesn't get driven crazy by something being out of tune, but can accurately name a pitch without a reference. He's also been able to transpose on the fly from an early age.
But to be clear, you can think of no mechanism that would allow us to expose that incomprehension via communicating with it?
