As everyone's "hate-boner" will be personal, to me a part that stands out is that Columbus seemed to be a conspiracy theorist akin to the flat-earther. The reason why his expedition took so long to get funding, is not because he was the only one who thought the earth was round, but it's that he used wrong calculations in order to calculate the size of the earth, and he was under the impression that it was much smaller than it actually is. Now at that time, similar to how everyone knew the earth was round, people had a pretty good idea of the actual size of the earth as well - it was already known in ancient Greece after all.

So when he claimed "I can reach the far east by sailing around the other side of the world in X days, as it's just a distance of Y miles" that was against common knowledge of that time, and everyone knew that a trip like that would take 2Y or 3Y miles, something unfeasible with the technology of that time.

The only reason his ship didn't perish halfway like everyone expected them to, is that there just happened to be a continent halfway that they stumbled upon. Columbus is a prime example of "task failed successfully".
Uhhh..probably you and .2% of hiring managers. I've never cared when hiring, and have never heard this advice anywhere but this post. No offense, but if it was as common as 10%, recruiters and bloggers would be suggesting it left and right.
Legacy Minecraft account migration is still open - https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/4411173197709-H...

This should still work on Minecraft accounts that were created 5 minutes after Notch first launched the minecraft.net website in 2009. You will use your username to login, but a verification email will be sent to whatever email you signed up with. If you don't remember which email you used, you might be out of luck, but they also have a support form where you can enter payment proof and maybe get the account back. All of this is ending in September, so take this opportunity soon to be able to talk to an actual human at Mojang rather than a useless robot at Microsoft/Xbox support.

A gift code will present significantly more trouble. Almost certainly not valid anymore.

From a CBS article:

"I think that is part of what is making it difficult for the untrained ear to differentiate between these AI-generated and non-AI generated tunes," music journalist Hattie Lindert told CBS News on Tuesday. "It's pretty convincing when there are so many Drake tracks that AI can train from."

IMO that's another example of plagiarism, right?
You're right - rules don't prevent people from breaking the rules. I'm just telling you what the rules are, and what their intended spirit is. I'm not telling you that every commenter conforms to them—that's definitely not the case, as you're describing.

When we see comments breaking the rules, we ask them not to (and ban users who don't stop). But we only see a small minority of what gets posted to HN (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...).

There's another aspect. HN can't be immune from macro trends (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...). Although HN is a highly international site (only 50% US if not less), its demographics are majority Western, so discourse here will inevitably be dominated by Western views regardless of how we moderate. Moderation power is limited.

That puts users with non-Western views in a delicate position. All I can tell you is that as moderators, we're on the side of including minorities, not excluding them. I've defended countless minority users when the majority is ganging up on them, and that will be the case for as long as I'm moderating HN, whenever I see it happening.

But we need users from those groups to do their part as well. What happens all too easily and often is that users from the minority groups, feeling stung by the majority, lash back aggressively in a way that breaks the rules. This puts the moderators in a double bind: we can't condone breaking the rules, and we also don't want to exclude minority users, making the minority even smaller.

The only solution I know is to persuade you (i.e. you personally and others in this position) that it isn't in your interest to break the rules like that. Your reasons for doing it, and the emotions behind it, are understandable—but the effect of such posts is to discredit your own views (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...). This marginalizes you even further—it just gives the majority fresh confirmation that you're wrong and they're right. This doesn't improve your position.

What you should do instead—though I know it is not easy—is strictly, scrupulously, meticulously stick to the rules while laying out your position. Let others be the ones to become aggressive and call names and flame. Who knows, maybe they won't! and then you can have the respectful conversation that HN is supposed to be for. But if they do, at least it will be they who are discrediting their own position, rather than you.
Sample size of 1 but I have never had any weird dreams, headaches, sedation or any other I'll effects from melatonin. It does help me fall asleep faster but doesn't actually improve sleep quality or duration.

If I'll effects were so common, demand wouldn't be so high. I'd suggest trying it out for yourself.
If I had the choice of 'write a tool' or 'write a test'... I'd always pick write a test. Of course, that's me... which is why I asked the question in the first place. I was trying to understand their use case.

For starters we can learn from the failings of our current system - it does some things well, but clearly it incentivizes things we should not be incentivizing, and I argue it disincentivizes some of what it think it’s incentivizing (entrepreneurship). Second-mover advantage and all that.

Another potential reason a replacement would be less abusable is that, if the replacement does away with IP middlemen (patent trolls, record labels making huge profits off what are effectively payday loans to artists, conglomerates like Disney acquiring as much IP in some domains as they can) we could avoid the situation where extractive elements lobby for increasingly more extractive laws or policies or throw their weight around in a way to create unfair outcomes.

I’d like to add our current system is something we’ve progressively iterated towards through centuries of common law (originating from before the Industrial Revolution and even such radical concepts as “widespread literacy” or “less than 90% of people being farmers”). It has accumulated cruft and crap and comes from a time where creative work was proportionately a less important part of the economy, and is a product of centuries of influence from incumbents seeking regulatory capture. Just weakening those incumbents and giving them less of a snowball to roll down the hill would lessen abuse for the time being.

This is huge for all resumes, especially product manager resumes. I've seen some PMs get through interviews by talking in depth about their previous company's product, just to end up flopping on the job because they can't function without top-down hand holding.
Dude i wasn't a windows hater until a few weeks ago. Normally i dual boot my pc to play games on windows and work on my linux installation so i dont need to think about windows almost never.

Anyways i bought a laptop for my parents and its been stressful to deal with W11, the amount of ads and crap apps installed and the sluggishness of the ui feels horrible (This is not a low end device it has a gen 11 intel processor) and still sometimes the ui is slow as molasses. But the top of the frustration is that i can disable "Secure Mode" because the prompt that is supposed to allow me to disable it doesn't work
Anthropic's Claude[1] and Claude+[2] both failed some of these.

Question:

I am interested in syntactic ambiguity in English. Can any of the following sentences be interpreted in more than one way? Explain why or why not.

The man opened the package with a knife.

The burglar threatened the student with a knife.

The woman cleaned her teeth with a knife.

The child pointed at the teacher with a knife.

Claude's answer:

These sentences can be interpreted in multiple ways:

1. The man opened the package with a knife.
Ambiguous: The knife could have been used as a tool to cut tape and open the package, or it could imply the man threatened someone with a knife while opening the package.

2. The burglar threatened the student with a knife.
Unambiguous: The implication is clearly that the burglar threatened the student using a knife as a weapon.

3. The woman cleaned her teeth with a knife.
Ambiguous: The knife could refer to a toothpick or dental tool, or it could imply an unusual way of brushing teeth.

4. The child pointed at the teacher with a knife.
Ambiguous: The knife could have been used to gesture and point, or it could imply the child threatened the teacher with a knife.

In summary, sentences that suggest using a knife as a tool tend to be ambiguous between a literal and figurative interpretation. Sentences that clearly describe a knife being used as a weapon are generally unambiguous. The ambiguity arises from the multiple meanings and uses of the word "with."

Does this explanation make sense? Let me know if you have any other questions!

Claude+'s answer:

Here are my analyses of potential syntactic ambiguity in those sentences:

The man opened the package with a knife.
- This sentence is ambiguous. It could mean either that the man used a knife to open the package, or that the package contained a knife inside. The ambiguity arises because "with a knife" could modify either "opened" or "package".

The burglar threatened the student with a knife.
- This sentence is unambiguous. The only coherent interpretation is that the burglar used a knife to threaten the student. "With a knife" can only modify "threatened" in this sentence.

The woman cleaned her teeth with a knife.
- This sentence is ambiguous. It's unclear whether it means the woman used a knife to clean her teeth, or her teeth contained a knife. Again, "with a knife" could modify either "cleaned" or "teeth".

The child pointed at the teacher with a knife.
- This sentence is unambiguous. The only meaning that makes sense is that the child pointed at the teacher while holding a knife. "With a knife" can only modify "pointed at" in this example.

In summary, ambiguity can arise when a prepositional phrase like "with a knife" can logically modify more than one part of the sentence. Context often helps resolve such ambiguities, but in isolation some sentences remain open to multiple interpretations. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Hey, from one engineer to another, from a place of trying to be helpful, the resume looks very nice, but in the second sentence of your intro you write “use to” rather than “used to”.
Wikipedia has a nice note:

> Though the modern state of Italy had yet to be established, the Latin equivalent of the term Italian had been in use for natives of the region since antiquity; most scholars believe Columbus was born in the Republic of Genoa.
It seems using the wrong numbers was more of a marketing trick to attract investors. Otherwise, everyone else wouod just have used the known route to the east.
Sounds like a strategically planned bankruptcy.
Is this REALLY what You think? That the only possible reason for this is intentionall malice and not the fact that microsoft account is probably one of the biggest if not the biggest integrated service on the web (from cloud management with azure, trough apps and office suite, trough games, domain control and finally entire OS control across multiple different hardwares), which would inevitably lead to their system being more complicated, thus error prone?
"I received it in an email from a guy saying he is sleeping with her. She says her name and everything"
He would have perfectly understood what Italian meant considering the equivalent term was in use for centuries.
That's funny. I studied information sciences because I loved systems but didn't want to get stuck coding all day and (no offense?) was less introverted than many of my fellow tech majors (to where even my professors would be surprised when I'd take on a coding role in a project because they stereotyped me as not fitting the part.). We studied things like documenting systems, workflows, use cases, project management, networking and introductory programming courses in databases and several coding languages. In theory it sounded great. But I the job market it's actually extremely difficult to get those code-adjacent jobs when you don't have coding experience.
Haha, yeah, works that way for Cantonese and Mandarin. 大麻 daai6 maa4/dà má (marijuana, literally ‘big numb’) vs 大馬 daai6 maa5/dà mǎ (big horse).

It's RISC-V, both the control core and the compute cores. Has a few extensions on the compute side for loading the register file from DMA and chaining FPU ops with no core front end babysitting. Honestly reminds me a lot of GPU architectures, though not quite as wide per compute core (so not as wide compared to a SM or wavefront). Probably legitimately makes for a very nice HPC chip all else being equal.
Pastoral describes people who raise grazing animals, generally sheep or cattle, both species introduced by European explorers and colonizers (as were horses). Prior to Columbus no species of domesticated cattle or sheep existed in the New World, thus no "pastoral state." Describing the world Columbus and those who followed him discovered (for Europeans at least) as a "pastoral state of tribal people" shows a poor understanding of pre-Columbian history in the New World.

Early European explorers and conquerors described finding large-scale farming, cities, extensive trade networks, empires, warfare, and of course slavery. Archaeology and the remaining records of those people confirm European accounts.

We can condemn Columbus for many things, but neither he nor the Europeans who followed introduced violence and slavery to the New World. They did introduce novel pathogens which led to large-scale, if somewhat accidental genocide (prior to a germ theory of disease).
Yes, you can!

A Big Bench for Large-Scale Database Grounded Text-to-SQLs
BIRD (BIg Bench for LaRge-scale Database Grounded Text-to-SQL Evaluation) represents a pioneering, cross-domain dataset that examines the impact of extensive database contents on text-to-SQL parsing. The dataset includes three extra problems that especially resonates with real-world scenarios: 1) the need for parsers to reason over 'dirty' values; 2) the necessity to incorporate external knowledge into parsers; and 3) the requirment to consider efficiency while executing SQLs. BIRD contains over 12,751 unique question-SQL pairs, 95 big databases with a total size of 33.4 GB. It also covers more than 37 professional domains, such as blockchain, hockey, healthcare and education, etc.
Perhaps it's a bit harsh. I wouldn't judge anyone for joking about the DENNIS system in private. Blogging is a public platform though, and someone who is a hiring manager sharing their DENNIS system on a public platform with an explanation of why it's a useful thing seems like exactly the type of thing that would put some people on edge.

This is the culture war I'm talking about, there are different camps, and while I understand why some people want to be in the camp where joking about things that upset "sensitive" people is just fun and games, I think there are also a lot of people who see it as inappropriate in a professional context, and those kinds of jokes can feel exclusionary to them.

I'm really not trying to say anyone is right or wrong here, just that my own preference is to work in environments where most people who would lean towards passing up an opportunity for a joke that might make some group of people uncomfortable. I really hope you can similarly understand that.
By that logic, Doom must be smarter, otherwise it wouldn't run on significantly weaker hardware.

Cool! I made an effort to study Cantonese about 10 years ago and wish I'd come across these sites!

At the time, I heavily relied on another great Cantonese dictionary/resource site: http://www.cantonese.sheik.co.uk/dictionary/

In addition to the Jyutping Cantonese pronunciation, it also shows corresponding Hanyu pinyin pronunciation for Mandarin. There are also number of learning resources on the site. I love how you can mouseover any character to get a pop up to learn more about the character - it's meaning as a single character, pronunciation, etc.

15th century was a time of conquest and brutality around the world:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_by_ordeal

etc.

I doubt Columbus's conquest was uniquely brutal for its time. The distinctive fact about him is that he discovered America, and kicked off the events that led to the formation of the US.
Human eyes and ears can tell if it's fake? Lol

This is a ridiculous comment
Well yeah. In the same sense you can discover a restaurant or a nice pub without meaning that nobody ever went there before. Lots of things have been discovered more than once.
I find it, well, outrageous, that Google translate doesn’t support Cantonese.

Nationalism at its worst.
Spain as a nation state did not exist then.
AIUI they (1) finetuned LLaMA on 75B tokens of medical papers, and called the resulting model PMC-LLaMA, (2) finetuned that model on task-specifc data, then (3) separately finetuned the base model they started with in (1) on the same task specific data for comparison. So, they're reporting 6 separate conditions: {LLaMA, PMC-LLaMA} x {Zero-shot, Finetune, PEFT}.

Could definitely use some more exposition around that though.
Found a 2016 article on Japanese research, which is less hyperbolic, https://cen.acs.org/articles/94/i44/Water-bear-genomes-start...

> Kunieda’s team started to investigate genes unique to the tardigrade. One such gene coded for a protein called damage suppressor protein, or Dsup. The protein appears to hang out with DNA in the nucleus of cells, and its sequence predicts that it contains a highly basic α-helix that could interact with DNA. Thinking that Dsup may play a role in protecting tardigrade DNA from damage, the team engineered cultured human embryonic kidney cells to express the Dsup gene and found that the cells had higher survival rates when exposed to X-rays compared with nonengineered cells. In particular, the cells had 40% less X-ray-induced DNA damage.
