I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this- they were one of the first states to legalize mj. I think this very quickly drove a huge influx of younger, more open-minded people and a lot of cultural change around the metro areas, especially Denver and Boulder.
OpenAI may not have a moat, but Microsoft does with their Enterprise Agreements.
Right, but that's the first phase. In the next, I believe the goal is to attempt to reduce the header to 32 bits, and then the header overhead (for all objects) for both monitors and hashcodes will be ~3 bits, basically just to indicate whether or not they're used. For objects where they're used, they will be stored outside the header.
Ships and planes today take waaayyy longer than seven years to create. The F-22 took 24 years to deliver.
I was thinking of this as a step towards a future with tunnel infrastructure.
I think it's important to note here that there are many public, government run services that collect and sell information that are incredibly hard to "just stop using the service".

This includes things like:

- owning a car, or just having a drivers license: https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/blog/dmvs-are-making-a...

- having a credit history (credit bureaus can sell by default to third parties like financial institutions, not even accounting for the equifax breach)

- buying a home (public record)

- going to court (public record)

- entering the vast majority of grocery stores with cameras

- owning a cell phone that is turned on at some point (cell towers store information on which phone numbers are connecting to them, giving rough location history)

- Messaging anybody on virtually any service without extreme precautions (even e2e apps will store who is talking to who, which can create detailed social maps)

There is the option to opt-out by living in the woods without any modern technology, but I think it's worth noting that in general, especially for anybody with a HackerNews account viewing this page, that it is not trivial to avoid having your personal data collected (and possibly sold) on a continuous basis.
The keynote was the summary of the entire week, which included the intro/outro, visual editing section, and the Next.js section which were new. A lot of folks were just tuning in today, versus the start of the week, but yeah, I can empathize with there being some parts that overlap. We'll be publishing more Next.js content here in the coming weeks around the new features as well.

HackerNewUser's expectation:

Municipal Broadband means that a community gets together, digs their own trenches, pulls their own fiber, and creates a completely new, modern, independent local fiber network that charges enough to run at Cost + Future Investment.

Reality:

City Council puts out a bid for construction. Comcast buys the bid. They tell the city "We've already got this super duper hifi modern network we installed in 1834. You'll save a ton of money if you just piggyback that." All residents now get subscribed to Comcastic service. And if they can't pull that off, the "City's traffic" is routed over "Comcast existing superdeuper network infrastructure", which basically means the same thing. Do you really think the entrenched local monopolies are going to let these projects succeed?

The problem is, most municipalities simply aren't sophisticated enough to prevent the 2nd scenario from happening. I'm 100% for communities running these projects, but there's only been a handful of success stories. The key to success is keeping the local monopolies out at all costs and make sure you get fresh, independent infrastructure pulled, not leased from one of these asshats.
Could work the other way to for some people, imo - some folks I know won't even consider interviewing ex-google, ex-meta, ex-amazon folks, thinking they have been overpaid and/or pampered for years, and even if they are temporarily willing to accept a much lower salary, will be the first out the door when another better paying opportunity comes along and/or the FAANGS start hiring again.

The picture painted in the media of these 'pampered' employees - true or not - does affect the perceptions of some hiring managers.

So I work at a FAANG company where the ‘durrr relational databases’ don’t scale cult is preeminent. We draw fancy boxes and arrows and sweep the split brain problems under the rug. All literature I have read so far treat the topic very naively — I want something that airs out all the dirty laundry — split brain issues, failure recovery, etc and provides suggestions how to deal with it. I’ve already and enjoyed “data-intensive” but looking for something a little broader.
Just one suggestion:

- Mark as read

Dim already read headlines, be able to mark each one as read or "done"
The difference seems to be in the level of fidelity of the copy. For example, we still attribute works to Socrates even though they were written down by Plato.

Some of these LLMs can produce code that is nearly identical to some file in the training set with the right prompt, similar to a human with a photographic memory. If a human for example copies a story or song, copyright law can and does consider it a copy even if produced purely from memory.

The line of originality was always somewhat arbitrary, it likely will continue to be.
Godel would say you can always break the system.

Game theory would say there are dominant strategies, and sometimes they require guessing or bluffing.

Economics would say, once too many people are using a dominant strategy, it's time to switch it up.

I think it's worth noting they didn't actually advocate for taking away the choice to view porn in their post. They just described perceived harms.
I like reading classics. That said, they are (typically, though not always) more difficult to read and understand. Consequently, I think most people gets less entertainment out of the books. Most people also won't remember much from books, so to read books to "gain deep insights about humanity" seems a bit pretentious to me.

For example, I read War and Peace. I vaguely remember major story points, and have some idea about two or three main characters. The thing I remember the most is enjoying the book.

I see classical books as more likely to be enjoyeable to me (a very picky reader), because so many people have enjoyed them before me. Outside of that, unless one studies the book, I'd argue there's not much difference between reading War and Peace and any popular book nowadays.
No. I don’t want software upgrades. I want a vehicle that moves me from A to B with the least environmental disruption as possible.

As someone who has done a ton of drawing both on computers and off, the idea that this was drawn with mouse blows my fricken mind! I can't even imagine the patience needed.

That's a good flag. I'll reach out to the Algolia team to talk about this.
I have considered that, empirically speaking I’ve seen a few activists do exactly that, and I am definitely not going around believing that activists are all some kind of anti-all-surveillance, defund-the-cops, legalize-crime parody. But also empirically speaking, I have seen that highly accurate systems with no racial bias still disproportionately impact minorities (often because they are employed by institutions like law enforcement or landlords that have racial bias themselves).

I really just think that if activists see two stats like “provably 99.999…% accurate” and “provably impacts minorities more” at the same time, most of them are still going to care about the impact than the accuracy - and I don’t think that caring about the impact is in any way intellectually dishonest, it’s quite moral really.

IBM Will Stop Hiring Humans for Jobs AI Can Do, Report Says
Microsoft is a schizophrenic company. For each employee who tries to do things well, clean, and respectful of privacy, there is another one with the same amount of power who won't hesitate engaging in the worst tactics (dark UI patterns, fake/ambiguous statements, regular settings resets, etc.) to earn a few more points in a performance objective. Both crowds probably hate each other, but the working conditions are so great when you work there that the "nice" guys will probably always prefer to walk away, rather than engaging into a conflict to try convincing a moron that forcing a specific browser is a very very very bad idea.

This thing of forcing Edge for opening links, it's clearly an idea successfully forced by a small group of bullies upon other employees, and they probably get a reward from the increased Edge traffic/usage.

Ultimately, there is only one person responsible for this toxic culture and it's the CEO.

Gonna call BS on that.

It can achieve better uptime, if you ignore the downtime for upgrades, the downtime for configuration errors, the downtime when the disk fills up...

> Your IDE will do type checking as well. Yes, the lexer stage will parse all identifiers into 'ID', but to provide a contrived counter-example, what if I do want to allow 'pi' to be assigned based on something that can only be processed in a later stage (perhaps an annotation, or a result of compile time function evaluation, etc). It will push the logic of handling 'ID' to later stages anyway. Now you're handling IDs in at least 2 places - that's strictly worse than the status quo.

Typechecking and access control are clearly semantic analysis considerations, which are better handled in a separate pass on an explicit AST. In particular, they may require a symbol table (i.e. an environment of names) that is not possible to compute during the parsing phase.
The West has been importing its population for decades, full gas since 1965. Not only is this strategy failing, it is a significant contributor to the West’s current decline. The core problem is more centered on the dynamics of the 20th century that led to mass immigration.

Do you mean an unusually tight spot? Because short-term liabilities and long-term assets is the very essence of banking.
Is the comment directed at me, or to the author of the article?

I believe the SCOTUS justices are unique because they answer to no disciplinary authority. They are expected to behave ethically, but they encounter no consequences (besides public protest) when they do not. There has been much coverage of late about Justice Thomas's relationship with Harlan Crow, but virtually no coverage of even more egregious behavior by other SCOTUS justices (past and present).

My reason for posting this was not to disparage any of the justices, but to point out the media bias here.
Yep. Too little, too late.

The ruling classes don't care either way, as far as they're concerned winners have a mandate even if a single vote is cast.

A big benefit of the pages folder is the ability to statically generate content on build time and deploy, then getting the performance benefit of being a static site. Does/will the app folder allow for the same static generation capability? Seeing `Is the pages directory going away?` in the release notes to me seems like a hint that the pages directory may be going away.

In that situation I would guess the one-click tool doesn’t really handle everything you’d need either so I don’t get what the point of the comparison is.
I think it keeps getting easier to make stay resident attacks but from a game theory PoV it doesn't make sense to a ransomware maker to be known for charging over and over until people refuse to pay.
Sorry, "crash" is probably hyperbolic. "Deflate" is maybe better. If you can't trust the work output, then paying 10¢ instead of an hour of a FTE's time for it is no consolation.
64-bit pointers isn't really an optimistic assumption, it's just the normal pointer size on 64-bit systems.
Humans are also pretty notoriously bad at doing this. It's also very easy to be inspired by something then forget the source. Humans often perform reverse-attribution, where they later realize or someone else points out a similarity, and only then do they add the citation.
This is a boring attitude. Every problem is a manufactured problem, the only core problems we have are food and reproduction.

"Ethical and legal problems" are actually largely consumer's perspective problems and have little to do with actual ethics or legal precedents.

Welcome to the real world, where people leave their personal data all around the internet without any concern. This IS an engineering problem, just like implementing "the right to be forgotten" in a search engine is - it would likely only concern notable people anyway.

> it's not my problem that their product was badly designed. If it takes them 10 million dollars to comply with the various data protection laws around the world, that's none of my concern.

Well sure, from the consumerist standpoint, that is definitely not your problem. But if a consumer is all you amount to, then why even bother posting here? Karen rhetorics is lazy, tiresome for everyone around and brings nothing interesting to the discussion.

TING[0] is another company offering fast fiber in CO, but it's only been rolled out to limited areas right now. I'm in downtown Denver and enjoy 1 gigabit symmetric fiber for $70/month ('unlimited' bandwidth, no port restrictions, etc) through CenturyLink.

Claude Shannon also had early ideas about machine learning. AT&T has a 1950s video of the maestro himself demonstrating a maze solver with physical output. A true genius. In those days, geeks were dressed in suit.

Shopify shares up 25% today, which explains most of what's happening here.

I agree with all the other comments criticizing the CEO's leadership of furiously hiring and now making massive cuts, but I think that is missing the context that the CEO does not answer to you or me, or to business professors, or to his employees. He answers to the board, which typically care about stock price and not much else. Today is a massive success in that regard.
I daresay that there are no policies that work well for everyone.
yeah but funding comes with strings, and implies the ability for funders to pick the winners and losers of what is basically a new industrial sector based on who wants to play ball.

so where does the funding actually come from? sure, NSF, great! but according to https://new.nsf.gov/news/nsf-announces-seven-new-national-ar..., "U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Science and Technology Directorate" is on the list. isn't it a realistic cause for concern that these people are going to be on steering committees?
Yea. The point I was trying to make is the bank is losing that liquidity. It doesn't have your deposits to loan out since you directly loaned them out in the form of things like Treasuries. That is a problem for the banks and why the article says Europeans are "draining billions from banks."
As long as the whole EU population is anti-business (people put their money into bonds instead of stocks unlike in US), politicians have the incentive to go for the anti-business route even if it has no chance of competing with US.

I'm already using AI to make my music production process more efficient! Namely, I'm using a program called Sononym which listens to my tens of thousands of audio samples and lets you search by audio similarity through the entire library, as well as sort by various sonic qualities.

I think I'd still go for a human artist for a bigger release such as an album! It's a lot less hassle than sorting through (often rubbish) AI output & engineering your prompts, though it does cost £££ which is the main thing making it prohibitive for single releases.

Real evidence would be if it was something that got naturally prioritized and didn't need to be shoved down people's throats.

There are enough cases of identical twins where one twin gets it and the other doesn't that we are certain it can't just be genetic. We are also certain that genes matter.

Should we ban delivery drivers who have the highest murder rates of all professions including cops or just work on making cities more safe so that people are protected from violence regardless of profession?
How? FSD means being constantly alert and ready to take over.

If the driver didn‘t do this, he killed someone, not the car. It‘s abundantly clear to anyone opting into the beta.
It's also an interesting objection because it means that when you have exceptions... you still need an error handling method for non-exceptional errors.
The hell are you talking about. All I said was that there are plenty of engineering roles with $300k+ salaries, for which you had apparently “never heard of.”
If you're going to move the goalposts in the middle of a conversation, you might want to call that out a little clearer.
I disagree with this. It's too expensive to train high quality models. For example I don't see how anyone would make an open-source GPT4 unless OpenAI leaks their model to the public.
You're right, and you generally have less control over them because of that.
