Of course you don’t understand it because neither do we Americans. You HAVE to tip or you feel horrible screwing someone out of their wage, even when they do a shit job. I’ve literally have waiters that take my order and disappear until food service time, then disappear again and needing to find another waiter or waitress to bring me the check. I’ve even seen managers step in when service is bad and they can’t get the tip money due to labor laws.

Tipping should be for exceptional service. I tip at my local sub shop because they know me and they know how I like my food made. I’d rather pay more per plate to cover an overall wage, and I think most Americans agree with me.
At the risk of starting a flame war, many of the current bills have absurdly broad language which makes it a crime to simply be in public dressed differently than your gender assigned at birth (i.e. somewhere where a minor _might_ be present). It's hard to argue the legislation that's being proposed (and passed) at a state and local level isn't having the effect of making it difficult to simply exist as a trans person.

Yes, much of that legislation is probably unconstitutional, but there is still a very real possibility of local law enforcement arresting someone who's violating these laws by simply walking down the street or visiting relatives.

I don't doubt that some of the broad brush legislation is at odds with many conservative individual's beliefs and intents for it, but the legislation being proposed and passed at a local and state level is quite concerning. It's a bit hard _not_ to see it as an attack.

Are we living in the same universe? From what I understood, EDF the quasi-government agency managing nuclear in France is heavily indebted (~50 billion EUR), they have maintenance problems that made them shutdown about half of their reactors, they have problems with freshwater supply because France is in a drought (as other parts of Europe, sth which will get worse with climate change) and they have a cost and build-time explosion with some new power plants.

So your proposal is that every access to porn must be forever associated with your personal phone number?
It would be possible to design a protocol that allows you, a website that needs to know your age but not anything else about you, and a third party verification service that knows who you are to verify your age to the website without the verification service knowing who you are verifying your age to, and without a fourth party such as a government with a subpoena that lets them get the records of the web site and the verification service figure out that you have used the latter to prove your age to the former.

>> "Born in the USA" was popular because few people actually listened to the lyrics

> I hear this repeated often, but is it even true?

I was a mid-western teenager when "Born in the USA" came out. My friends all knew the lyrics -- we hung out in the back of the bus, and shouted them out for 30 minutes on the ride to school. The lyrics spoke to our insecurity: fear of poverty, fear of being sent off in war, and the futility of it all. No one wanted to talk about the empty factories our bus drove past, or the parents that lost their jobs. Springsteen spoke to this, he captured our lived experience. The tune was fantastic. But it was the lyrics that clinched the deal.

That whole album was filled with singable songs: I'm on Fire, Glory Days, and especially My Hometown. The verses were especially catchy and clear as a bell, Springsteen pronounced the lyrics clearly so you hear, understand, and memorize them.
You have this wrong. A "habeas court" is a court considering whether a person is being detained illegally. This is a mechanism for obtaining a collateral review of evidence in a criminal case (commonly used in death cases), since a person can't be legally detained or executed if they didn't commit a crime.

In the Scalia quotation, he was using his lawful-evil dissent persona to cast aspersions on a very common review mechanism. This was his much regarded "style," but it doesn't really help people understand the state of play in this situation.

You fall into the trap. Unlike the golf commissioner (if they even regulate golf in OK counties), the habeas court is actually sitting in the center of its constitutive authority when making decisions on actual innocence in capital habeas.

As I read the suggestion, they don't have to be Korean (not needing to already be the nationality before arriving is generally true for most immigrants).

Adds a DBMS or key-value store for metadata, making the filesystem much faster (POSIX, small overwrites don't have to replace a full object in the GCS/S3 backend).

Almost certainly a better solution if you want to turn your object storage into a mountable filesystem, with the (big) caveat that you can't access the files directly in the bucket (they are not stored transparently).
Sure, but the store wouldn’t keep a database keeping track of exactly what porn you bought.

It’s also like having stores check IDs when other porn is just floating by on the wind with regularity. Even if all of the major porn websites did checks there’s still Twitter, Telegram, Reddit, Google/Bing image search, torrents…

These days the internet is just a handful of corporate projects in a vast sea of spam. I suspect AI will exacerbate that. I have a feeling that eventually, we may figure out what websites to visit from our real-world interactions. Everything we know as the internet today will be seen as junk/spam. Nobody will use search engines for the same reason that nobody reads junk mail.
In the 1970s, when I cut my hair about every five months, I was one of two US or Canadian citizens asked to step out of the bus on the way into Canada from New York state. The other guy had even longer hair. The Canadian border police asked me to open my suitcase, asked me about a bag of tea (Earl Gray) and didn't blink at the IRA newspaper I had picked up for laughs at Port Authority in NYC.

On the way back into the US at Detroit, a bored agent gave me about five minutes of grief about whether I was in fact a US citizen. He pointed out that neither drivers license nor draft card proved my citizenship. I shrugged, and he waved me through.

Since then, I haven't been hassled, though to be sure I've looked a good deal less scruffy.

One challenge with writes in the middle is that it changes the file hash. Cloud services typically expose the object hash, so changing any bit of a 1TB file would require a costly read of the whole object to compute the new hash.

You could spilt the file into smaller chunks and reassemble at the application layer. That way you limit the cost of changing any byte to the chunk size.

That could also support inserting or removing a byte. You'd have a new chunk of DEFUALT_CHUNK_SIZE+1 (or -1). Split and merge chunks when they get too large or small.

Of course at some point if you are using a file metaphor you want a real file system.
Pornhub reportedly says that rather than requiring identification, it's better to "identify users by their device" - what does that mean? If you're going to require ID, what does it matter how you acquire that ID?
> Does it seem like there's a pattern to the failures?

Personally, trying to use it to write code (primarily Elixir backend and Rust systems/CLI), I tend to run into:

- Hallucinating APIs that don't exist

- Hallucinating entire libraries, despite being told repeatedly they don't exist

- Saying it will make requested changes and not doing so

- Not being anywhere close to idiomatic code

- Not being able to explain code it writes

- Running out of "memory" (I can't remember the right term. Context?) in the middle of generating code, then telling me I never prompted it when I ask it to continue

On the other hand, I've found that it's good at cleaning up ugly data. I can copy/paste in a table with bad formatting, ask it to turn it into code, and it does it near-perfectly. That's been the best use-case for it I've found so far.

I use boring normal free ChatGPT so maybe it's on me for not using GPT-4 or some other model, but either way, imo it's not been very impressive in the problem spaces I find myself in.

Agreed theoretically however if I gave you two spectrograms, would you be able to tell which one is clear speech and which one is garbled? I’d bet we’d be able to come up with one that wouldn’t pass the sniff test.

If you know of any implementations that can look at a spectrogram and say “hey there’s peaks at 150hz, 220hz and 300hz with standard deviations of 5hz, 7hz, and 10hz, decreasing in frequency over time thus this is a deep voice saying ‘ay’” and get it right every time I’d be really interested in seeing it (besides neural networks)
I remember trying to buy some video games when I was a kid, and they wouldn't sell it to me because it was rated as 15+ and I wasn't 15. People would also check ages at movie theatres; I had some trouble getting in to Jurassic Park with my friend but we did manage, and also regretted it as I was scared witless for months, demonstrating that these age limits are perhaps not entirely nonsense.

A lot of people seem to have forgotten what the world was like 25 years ago.
I would have agreed with you 20 years ago. But I think today, large scale internet censorship would be feasible. My wife and I marvel at her (much younger) Gen Z siblings’ computer illiteracy. These kids are the iPad/walled garden generation. These laws would be effective to keep Internet porn out of the hands of a large majority of younger people. That’s especially true because so many kids rely on phones and iPads, so governments can easily control VPN apps and things like that by leaning on Apple and Google.

It obviously won’t keep information from getting out. But that’s not the purpose of things like anti-porn laws. Dramatically curtailing prevalence and access is sufficient.
The funny thing is the minors know how to use a VPN to get around this law whereas the many older users don't! So, in Utah the minors will be able to access porn and many of the adults will not!

Good job Utah!
Show HN: Tool to simplify authoring and grading of coding questions
Hi HN,
I’m one of the creators of Erudyte, a platform providing computer science teaching tools. We’re excited to share it with HN! Our website is https://erudyte.io/ and you can try it now without creating an account.

As students we didn't like the traditional method of coding on paper. Not being able to test our code and the inconsistencies in grading made the process frustrating for both us and our teachers. Therefore, we developed a platform that simplifies authoring and grading questions.

You can generate hundreds of test cases easily using a no-code visual test case builder.

AI suggested grading, with explanation, for non code questions.

We'd love to hear HN's thoughts on what we are building.

I like to think that Waltzing Matilda is much more understood than Born In The USA. It’s a bit more in the Aussie culture to run with something like that. The Born In the USA American crowd on the other hand self-identifies is infallible and their homeland is their sacred cow. I’d eat my hat if the majority of people who like that song know more than 4 words from it.
When I was growing up hearing about "fallout" was always in terms of some power plant accident and exposure meant some imperceptible increase in lifetime cancer risk. Much later in life I learned that the "fallout" from a thermonuclear bomb exploding a hundred kilometers upwind could easily mean death, not of cancer in a decade but in hours or days from acute radiation sickness. It seems strange that we use the same word in both cases where in other cases our words clearly distinguish amounts by levels of danger, "falling pebble" versus "falling boulder", "raindrop" versus "flood", etc. It would be good if we could have that with radiation dangers as well.

It's obviously AI generated, to the point that it's likely propaganda to suggest that your enemy does propaganda.
Warning against potential dangers is meaningless. Any significant piece of tech has potential danger. Some innocuous microprocessor can be used as a guidance chip for a middle, or run a smart toaster oven.

There is more to it though. Geoffrey isn't just warning about potential danger. He is looking at current research, and wrongfully extrapolating AI power into the future. Sure, AI can and will be misused, but most of the warnings about sentient AI, or it's ability to solve complex problems like making deadly viruses are all hypothetical.
Yeah honestly when I took a stab at it a couple years ago it was frustrating - all the material I ran into told you what to do but not why which left me high and dry when things didnt work as expected, or when I wanted to find more information about the meaning and organization of directories or other contextual background information.

>Because it's literally illegal for children to view porn

Is this actually even true? So if my underage son finds a porn magazine in my house, it's "illegal" for him to look at it? That doesn't sound right.

>Imagine if a liquor store just decided it was fine to let kids come in and purchase liquor and you said "Why is it the liquor store's responsibility to not sell booze to kids?"

Imagine comparing going to a physical location with no easy digital trace and buying something that is basically 100% socially acceptable to digitally tracking what kind of taboo and private porn someone wants to watch.
Introducing subtle bias for any advertiser that buys ads might be a tough nut to crack. For one thing, advertisers and the companies that employ them tend to want creative control over their ads. And it's not clear that a subtle bias towards Palmolive liquid detergent would even do anything in a discussion about veterinary care for ferrets (or whatever), so would the advertiser have to pay for that? Or would they only pay if the user clicked on a link? But if the user has to click on a link, then it's no longer subtle bias.

Edit: Perhaps Colgate-Palmolive could advertise Palmolive on ChatGPT by having it so that, anytime liquid dish detergent does come up naturally in conversation, then the chatbot subtly points to Palmolive brand. But success here would be hard to measure.
Couldn't one make the point that those early adopters in orgs that can afford to take on the risks pave the way for everyone else? And eventually, once some technologies survive and others die off for a variety of reasons, people with deadlines to meet (more limited amount of time and resources to invest in getting something working) can just build off of the success of others?
Like other immigrants around the world, they gradually become Koreans when they work, learn the language, marry, have children, and spend the rest of their lives there.

(Of course South Korea's case is very particular because they actually have an enormous reserve of eager potential immigrants who already speak the language, living just across their land border, an hour away from Seoul. The problem is that the other side of the border won't let anyone go.)

I want a distributed computing pseudo content addressed speadsheet where each cell is a process, thread, function, server, program, user, avatar or API.

I can type "=" for inserting a formula into a cell like Excel then type a repl.it template and bring up a server, or a template environment with everything preconfigured.

I want to depend on other people's solutions to problems. We are all independently running agents.

Perhaps it could be a chat room similar to a MUD where each person runs servers and runs programs that depend on eachother. A mesh of computation and storage.

Perhaps there should be some central hub which tracks the state of different services and workflows, similar to Temporal.io.
