simple reason. I can refactor the codebase in a dozen different ways in a matter of seconds and choose the best one to work on. I can a summon a large volume of unit tests, descriptive logging statements etc. I can also just dump the logs and it will 9/10 times tell you right away what the issue is and how you can resolve it.

i.e basically you can do a lot of work in just a matter of hours. Once you taste the productivity increase by integrating AI into your workflow you will miss it if it is taken out.

not mention you can build all the handy little tools in a matter of seconds that will make your daily life way easier.
Imagine if we had ChatGPT a couple hundred years ago: "What is the square root of -1?": "The square root of -1 is not defined because you cannot take the square root of a negative number."

He spend much of his professorship agonizing about how to fit all of physics into a freshman lecture. When he couldn't, he knew we needed to think more about that area.
Aside from the implications of turning an ISP into a decider of what you get to see rather than being a "dumb pipe," what about parents who want to view porn but don't want their kids to? Should they be forced to choose between 20 years of abstinence or potentially exposing their kids?

The "household" is a pretty bad level at which to have to make these decisions, given that people of all age ranges share the same household. It seems to me that age verification makes a lot more sense than this, (and ftr I think Utah's bill is ridiculous overreach and would have massive privacy implications that are highly problematic).

On the other hand, it's the definition of solipsism to interpret any experience you don't personally share as "hallucinations."
"It would be great if..."

Implied if you want to make a good first impression. So yes, but it was mostly a minor change to show you got your setup up and started learning your way around the code base.
The drug trade in the US is one of the most profitable in the world. Organised crime is behind it, there's no way that organised crime in the US has been destroyed at higher-levels, crime organisations still bring all the cocaine, MDMA, heroin and so on into the country, it's not small scale operations doing that.
You would at least skim over the whole thing without being distracted by snippets or phrases you don't understand. That's the whole point: you need the ability to have temporary placeholders for concepts you don't know and continue learning. You cannot expect that everything you learn will be arranged in a fashion such that every new concept only mentions already known concepts.
Anything that can hijack the dopaminergic system should not be allowed to kids. Gambling, tiktok & smartphones in general, porn, drugs etc.

We used to have shame as a societal mechanism to deal with these issues. It was shameful to be an alcoholic, which was how alcoholism was kept in check. The same way it was shameful in ancient Greece to surrender to your carnal urges.

Shame is disappearing. Our societies are going haywire.

It's about leaking private/proprietary company information. It's not about features.

How will that private/proprietary information be used by OpenAI? Does it include NDA information from another company that they don't have the right to share? How secure is the information stored (think industrial espionage)? There is a lot that needs to be taken into account that even goes beyond this.
The things I've seen because people don't want to learn an ORM's (or similar tech) API.
Oh, another one that applies to all functional languages: why the obsession with singly linked lists? Ok I do actually understand why, but they're objectively the worst data structure yet they're made 1st clas - maybe 0th class! - language features. Kind of mad.

I guess at least OCaml has normal vectors too, but still it always felt like a theoretical compsci feature that was almost willfully rejecting actual computer architecture.
If someone makes an appeal to tradition/history, I don't think it's reasonable to conclude that they're advocating for things which happened 4,000 years ago in a society completely alien to our own.
Windows 7 is only starting to get obsoleted now : while Microsoft is still updating it with critical security fixes, Qt and Chromium dropping it is pretty much the end for non-legacy usage. (Good bye Windows I guess...)
Be careful, SVB went bust because they invested heavily into long term debt securities and got a big haircut when interest rates rose steeply in 2022.

At 40 year duration even a 1% interest rate hike could greatly affect the market price of the bond. While the market seems to be betting that rates won't rise much more, the possibility of stagflation isn't off the table yet IMHO.
Why is it that the people following the news hosted by a company focused on entrepreneurship and start-ups is surprised and arguing how weird a region is? All markets are weird in their own way.

It sounds like there's an opportunity here for someone to create (yet another?) tech company that manages this difficult problem. PornHub, gambling sites and other folks that need to verify age then pay you to do it! Laws like this are just a cost of doing business. Pass the cost of verification onto the consumers in Utah. If consumers don't like they can change the law or learn how to setup a VPN.

Doesn't this solve the problem? PornHub keeps their margins and people still have their freedom. If a kid really wants to look at porn, they'll at least have to be able to fund it or learn some valuable technical skills.

This “article” is total “churnalism”, just marketing bunk with absolutely no content. Obviously I am aware what Wallpaper* is, which is mainly a conduit to help people spend their money as fast as possible like Brewster’s Millions, but this article on HN is surely misdirected.
Of course, but just because you're getting paid doesn't mean you don't care. They might seem cold because they have to practice a certain level of detachment. But most therapists do care about their patients, that's why they became therapists in the first place.

Also, therapists usually have long referral lists, so they still have to decide that you're worth their time and that they believe they can help you.
no print feature in over 5 years. How can a browser not implement print? (on android) They removed it, then claimed they were working on it, and shut down every single github issue about it
Not following. Some eu data are not meant to be stored on aws zones outside the eu and if and where that is a concern aws is not used at all. Neither is azure or google cloud. Those “100 other saas” are meant to follow clear rules on how data is processed else they get stricken by gdrp.
People worry about "AI" but it's recourse-free automated management that's the problem, it's irrelevant what the actual mechanics are under the hood, whether it's gpt, a rules based algorithm, or just some designer's workflow for evicting tenants.

One of the biggest problems is almost no customer (renter here) wants something like this, and so it ends up being forced onto those weak or poor enough not to be able to push back and get treated like people.

Thinking about all the popular talk about AI, I wish regulators would focus more of how to make sure people are treated like people, instead of debating the fairest way to treat us like cattle.

Astra was the company attempting a launch from up there. It was a very austere site. The one that liftoff went sideways, then they lost another one launching from KSC. Rocketlab is launching the next couple payloads Astra had scheduled.

This is just the Mythical Man Month stated differently: that if only more people were on the browser the projects it's on would get faster. The company is obviously desperately searching for a way to stay in the game as Safari / Chrome / Edge come bundled with platforms.

It took this massive effort 15 years ago to get Firefox onto people's computers back in the day. Mozilla kicked off the web standardization drive and transformed the Internet. That sort of thing is not feasible now because the commercial browsers are damned good.

They're either done or they have to find another way to use their resources to advance their mission. Unsurprisingly, they pick the latter.
> Would they have noticed them at the quick glance that this image invites?

Probably; I mean, it took me more than a quick glance to even figure out that the thing that looked like a discontinuous strip of printed cash register receipts with red stains across the outside of his sweater was probably supposed to be bandages, even with the priming effect of reading the text. And the document wrapped partly around his arm is quite jarring.

But, ultimately, may main point isn’t that AI images are categorically unconvincing—I’ve generated more convincing AI images. But AI barely matters; the same training data that enables AI image generation contains thousands of images that can be used, without modification, with a false caption to the same effect — and not just in theory, but this is actively done all the time. While AI may increase the risk of convincing fake imagery of specific individuals (though that, too, has been common before AI image generation), the kind of generic propaganda highlighted here is both simple and a hundreds-of-times-a-day thing with more convincing imagery without AI.
> Honest question, why is the privacy sandbox user hostile?

From the horse's mouth, "privacy sandbox" is explicitly designed "to build thriving digital businesses."

https://privacysandbox.com/intl/en_us/

At face value they claim it's designed to eliminate tracking techniques like fingerprinting, it's actually a system explicitly designed to collect the users' private information. From the horse's mouth.

"To provide this free resource without relying on intrusive tracking, publishers and developers need privacy-preserving alternatives for their key business needs, including serving relevant content and ads."
Ask HN: Why doesn't Amazon returns allow “wrong size” as a reason?
I've returned several items to Amazon recently that were the wrong size. When choosing a reason for the return, there is no option to indicate this. I have to say it "arrived too late" or there was a "better price elsewhere" or one of a dozen other inaccurate reasons. Why on earth would Amazon not offer this option, which would obviously be the correct one in many cases?

Most recently this happened with a snowboarding helmet, which was too small. Surely I'm not the only person who incorrectly guessed his snowboard-helmet-size (I've since learned it varies by brand).

In addition to helping the buyer, it would also help subsequent buyers, who would then know if an item is true to size or not.
We have that, that's called a (federal) money market mutual fund.

Edit: sorry, you said the Fed, which MMMFs don't put money in. But they buy short-term Treasurys at comparable or better yields, which is ultimately what you want, modulo the risk of US government default, which is minimal.

I'm not sure this is a problem - if there is no business nor technical driver making it have a higher priority, then sitting in the backlog is probably exactly the right place for it.

If you are worried that stories that do have more importance are falling victim to this pattern, it is probably a communication or collaboration problem with the team.
Currently, "basement" exemplifies the pinnacle of brutalist website design.
Employees want to work with good tools and do interesting work. I'm at a small startup and get to spend a lot of my time working with AI - figuring out how we can use it internally, working out where we can integrate it into our product and using it myself to prototype things and automate some of our business processes.

I am hugely fascinated and impressed by AI, and the fact that my work is paying me to spend time using this awesome tool in a real world context is suuuuuuuper good for my job satisfaction.
This sounds like an auction. That seems kind of sensible, but I'm concerned it would prevent any but the highest paying industries from using H-1B visas. In theory, the purpose is to import specific skills and expertise that is unavailable locally. So if US company needs, say, a plastic tooling engineer, and only China and Taiwan trains enough people with the relevant experience [0], then they should be able to hire someone from outside the US and help them get a visa. Making them outbid the tech giants who are in entirely different industries could drive the cost up to absurd levels and deny the US the benefit of getting plastic tooling expertise.

[0] I made this up, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were true.
Interesting tidbit I found the other day, apparently there was a collaboration between Nintendo and IBM to promote AS/400, which resulted in the online game "Mario Net Quest"

> researchers are unsure that it is its own addiction

Yes. Indeed, this is the reason experts object to the term “porn addiction”. Some “addicts” might be consuming a lot of porn, but that doesn't mean that porn is addictive --- just like how alcoholics use bottles a lot, but bottles are not addictive.
I worked at a company circa 2010 with around 2000 engineers that used git + gerrit + Jenkins + JIRA.

Worked at another company circa 2015 with around 80k employees (not sure how many engineers) that used git + cgit + Jenkins + JIRA.
I understand that correlation is not causation but the claims in the article you linked me to rely on correlative factors that are demonstrably false.

They're wildly inappropriate for most things. For similar anecdata, see blockchain fever where everybody shoehorned it in wherever they could, even when a traditional database made more sense.

Consistent conditional logic makes more sense than a risk-laden hallucinating LLM for a lot of workflows.

"Everyone" doesn't need to hammer nails because there's more than just one career and industry. The acceptable quality of the job output varies drastically too.

"It kind of boggles my mind" that people can't see beyond their own life.
I've probably written or dabbled with kernel modules three times in my life: first in college (~2010), second for a take-home interview question (~2015), and third as part of my job duties (~2020), and every time I do so I find that the APIs/best practices have changed. So I really hope there's a definitive guide that stays up to date until at least ~2025 when I next need it.
2. I don't want to live in a permission society where I have to submit to inspection to do anything.

If it’s not a big deal then verifying your age shouldn’t phase you anymore than verifying your age to buy alcohol.

I don't like that either and some years ago I stopped providing my ID on request. Corporate vendors (eg supermarkets) still insist on asking my birthdate. I'm in my 50s.

Paternalistic attitudes infantilize society and that's a lot more shameful than most porn could ever be. Absent specific reasons to believe abuse or exploitation is taking place, lawmakers need to stay out of other people's business.
> (1) Value gained

Does it follow that stealing is only wrong when you steal not enough?

> Shoplifting is a crime in most jurisdictions.

In most jurisdictions where you earn 6 figures slacking off 75% of your time, actually, it either officially or practically isn't. And if you look as clean and upstanding citizen, the chances of you getting off as "this is just a misunderstanding" are very close to 100%.
Infinity isn't a number, but it is an ordinal (and the answer does mention how you can have an even/odd property on the ordinals)
At the end of the day those companies are using a service built off of my stolen code. I don't think it really changes the ethics all that much- just thieves stealing from thieves who are using a product built using thievery.
Checkbox for "I don't want to view or reply to comments by under 18s" for websites would be a plus. Think web will get somewhat better when adults stop getting into arguments with kids without knowing it. Wouldn't mind even more granularity, i.e. I don't want to interact with with anyone +/-10 my age.

Queue the full Tinderization of online interaction, I only want to see coments from X race, Y age, Z height with following list of orientations and identitites.
> Any hacker group would love to boost about it for the street cred or try to monetize it if they ever did, or there would be at least some chatter on the darknet about it which would be reported on in the media anyway.

And you are sure no hacker group has boasted, anywhere on the darknet, about hacking Microsoft? And even if that were true, you take that as strong evidence that Microsoft has not been hacked?
They don’t even have to spend anything on ChatGPT, they can say they’re using Watson!
RPG, though ...
Agreed. I look back to my high school and college education and can't help but think that for a deeper understanding, exercises must be needed. It is too easy to think you have learned something but then fail at the easiest synthetic problem that requires you to use what you have learned to solve a problem.
The concept of “minors” involves arbitrary rules, so, no.

That isn’t, however, an argument against restraint in such arbitrariness, but the opposite.
I'd be curious to hear about Portugal's experience since it's been 20+ years since mass decriminalization. Whatever novelty effect is long past, and we now have a generation that grew up with the liberal policies. My quick search found articles written right after saying everything was going great, and obvious propaganda say that Portugal was nothing but a heroin den with everyone strung out everywhere.

> XTC usually refers to MDMA in pill form, used to be contaminated/mixed with some other additives but it's largely MDMA these days.

Ecstasy is almost never pure. While the degree of contamination varies and may not be subjectively noticeable by the user, the vast majority of ecstasy has some degree of adulterants in it, often other amphetamines, and sometimes other substances altogether.

The problem is that french canadians see themselves as oppressed by the english part of Canada.
They try with laws to force french in Québec as much as possible. Now with more and more immigration (rapidly aging population) and more english around with the internet they try harder and harder to stop the inevitable decline in french.

We often think of moving out of Québec/Canada to escape government encroachment in our lives.

I appreciate Sonatype putting so many resources into keeping pypy and the supply chain clean, batting down thousands of malware packages.

The interesting bit is where Sonatype used the token extracted from the malware to hack back into the discord (telegram?) channel, with admin privileges.

There's a certain symmetry when crime fighters publish criminal methods, which makes those methods easier to find and use, which increases the need for crime fighters.

The police proper generally wouldn't publish this, but Sonatype, as a kind of private police, has a lot of incentive to publish their good works and technical savvy, for community credibility and marketing. But it's that same incentive which prompts them to fund private security research, and make the contributions that they do.

Similarly, we might generally permit private security researchers to hack back, but not permit that for others. Why exactly?

Since this is about the use of AI, I would suggest this delicate area of private cyber-security is founded on the trust we ascribe to private security agents. Not being naive about private companies, as a practical matter that trust depends on the fact that their primary customers are government and large corporation security departments who would bury they if they veered into bad acting themselves. However, that's a relatively weak and avoidable feedback, and it might not apply if the agents hacking back were AI, or if key information was obtained from AI.

For projecting areas affected by AI, people mostly look to the type of problem and whether it's solvable by AI.

However, what makes a different in the world is scaling around transaction costs, like risk. It may be that AI would have the most impact where it changes the transaction cost risk enough to make, say, a particular crime worthwhile.

Crime is always a form of theft and destruction for a net negative social value. Part is just wealth transfer, back to the criminal, but mostly value is just lost. (The value of the catalytic converter on the black market and the junked prius on the used market don't add up to the prior working car.)

So essentially when AI is made available, it's a wealth transfer from the rest of society newly plagued by crime to the small portion of value gained by AI developers and their clients.

The goodwill currently enjoyed by most technology companies and open source - goodwill that underlies favorable IP treatment, product liability disclaimers, and the ready trust of users worldwide - could relatively quickly change, reducing the industry as a whole to the returns seen in other industries.

Who decides whether to squander that goodwill?
Omega is the lowest countable infinity. There's no parity within a countable infinite as you describe.

It's only even or odd with respect to other infinities which the cardinal numbers can count based on the presence of a bijection or not. It's a kind of relative parity.
