Not OP, but I quit 10 years ago without a clear plan with around 1.5 years of runway. Did a bit of freelancing after that and now run my own company. I'm usually more on the risk-averse side of things, but that felt safe enough for me.
The argument in the complaint is that "OpenAI said they would develop software for everyone, but they gave early favoritism to YC companies, so they went back on their promise." This complaint sounds like a high-effort shitpost. The plantiff is filing this pro se.

Hmm strange the captcha isn’t letting me pass
Weirdly, this site uses `color: #1b1b1b` instead of black.

Why? The difference is barely noticeable, but black provides more contrast and IMO looks better than #1b1b1b.

I've seen many designers assert that being slightly off-black is "better" for some reason, but isn't this the same argument that eventually leads to low-contrast designs? Why is a little bit of contrast reduction good, but a lot is bad? Pure black always looks (slightly) better to me (I commonly open the inspector and toggle the color to test this). And anyway, the variation in people's monitor settings is probably much wider than the difference between #1b1b1b and black, so what is even the point? Why waste brainpower trying to decide exactly how much contrast reduction is good, and risk going too far for some people while creating an imperceptible difference for others?

(To be clear, if it's not obvious, I'm a big fan of this site's message... but apparently I'd go even further.)
I'm not sure that transition of power is a 'taboo': Yekaterina Shulman have been discussing this topic for a few years for a wide popular audience. It's just that there was never any satisfactory answer to that one.

With regards to dictators of Spain, Portugal and Greece. These countries could get rid of autocrats and fall back to Europe's safety net. But in case of Russia it is not an option, as nobody wants Russia and especially the EU, which was mostly built on the basis of confrontation with Russia. There's nowhere that Russia could 'return' to.

I really wish you had gotten follow-up for this. I have some questions, but likely it's already buried in your past threads.

If consciousness ends up "pretty darn similar" to ChatGPT-8, and we still can't peer into the opaque box, do we put it in a drone and have it fly around us? A literal companion.

But it can't be conscious, right? It's just really really good at predicting the-next-word. It otherwise has no goals of its own. It speaks as others would have spoken.

Let's say we can model a virtual twin of a person, such that the scanning bit is near realtime; we present to the observer with an artificial delay, so both person and twin appear to speak at the same time.

But the human doesn't need to wait on input. They are self-directed, goal-seeking agents. They supply their own while-loop and terminate when bored. They could knock on the glass and yell at the observer.

This "extra layer" may always confound claims of AGI. We would have to prove we lived in a hologram before we could establish the "final context" of computers being conscious.

Anyway, interested in hearing your thoughts. Even a brainstorm.

Thank-you :)
Minimal Overhead Monitoring
I had used an option like that, until about 6 months ago IIRC. It's gone now.

However I've just found something under Settings - Accessibility that might mitigate the problem a little more. Extra dim: dim screen beyond your phone's minimum brightness.

It still won't really be off though, most likely.

And the text labels on these settings belong in a Monty Python sketch about product management.
An ad/tracking blocker could discriminate between privacy-protecting trackers and spyware, but it would not be worth the time in practice.

Such a distinction would need an option and have to be on by default. Most people use the “out of the box” config, so only a few people (like me) would enable honest tracking.

The blockers would have to keep up with this option to make sure the thing they allow hadn’t switched to evil mode.

And so on. Basically another case where bad actors like google poisoned the well.
Call me strange, I actually like the effect. I feel that parallel translations can provide a richer context of what's being said than a single translation. For example, idiomatic phrases are frequently split where the text will provide the meaning of the idiom and the speech will transliterate the words. The cultural exposure feels richer to me.

I think Apple should just make USB-C the norm for iPhones.

But the idea that a trans-national government over 750M people should be trying to regulate in this level of detail is just obviously a recipe for disaster. For every one time they successfully push a company to do something correct -- but ultimately trivial, like this thing -- there are going to be 10 cases where some bureaucrat makes a bad decision and they're like fifteen steps removed from any kind of oversight, or where no uniform rule-making makes sense over the vastly diverse areas of the EU. Humanity is just not capable of making a bureaucracy of this size that makes decisions at this level of detail in a on-average-good way.

If this is true, it suggests many Russians actually want their country to become a democracy:

> Objectively — though it’s awkward to say — the book has become a bit of a phenomenon. But the book, “The End of the Regime: How Three European Dictatorships Ended”, is not about Russia or Vladimir Putin. It’s about three dictatorships — those of Francisco Franco in Spain, Antonio Salazar in Portugal and the colonels in Greece — and how those countries became democracies, returning to the global fold. A large number of Russians haven’t suddenly taken an interest in the history of 20th-century Southern Europe. Rather, discussions of the book have common themes: How do prolonged right-wing dictatorships end? And can Russia become a democracy?
This is more evidence that engineering for every complicated case will give you a complicated standard. And note that most of the complaints are often retread with arguable advances later.

Oh dear.
All these years I never realized Stockholm was in Asia.

While it may be prevalent among Asian cultures, it is absolutely not specific to them. To defend, and even praise an abuser is a common, human, cross-cultural response to abuse. It's a coping mechanism people use to justify the things that have happened to them, so they can carry on without having to face their awful experiences. It helps relieve them (temporarily) of the "double burden" the abused feel -- they had to suffer the abuse, and then they have to do the work to move past it. Easier to insist the abuser was right, and they themselves are at fault.

To insist this is somehow confined to Asian families negates the experience of people everywhere. The original post was about an Asian family, but unless everyone in here is also Asian, these comments only serve to reinforce the breadth and variety of people for whom this resonates.

Show HN: Secret Sauce to Get Funds

If a Belgian citizen in Belgium visits your US server for commercial purposes then international trade treaties apply, and those treaties model your business (which might just be a sole proprietorship) as having a Belgian subsidiary that is doing the actual commerce with them.

Same reason that if a country Y has a law against selling thing X, but no law against buying thing X, then you, outside of country Y, are still not allowed to sell+ship X to people in country Y. For purposes of commercial interactions with people in country Y, you're acting as a local subsidiary subject to those laws. (In fact, for tax reasons, you may not even be able to sell into many countries without having a real established domestic incorporated business in those countries.)

Note that this doesn't apply if there's a (multinational) import/export business involved — in which case, you have no obligation to avoid selling X into the country, because you're selling X to your own domestic country-Z arm of the importer/exporter. It's then the import/export business's duty to comply with laws about what can be sold in country Y (and to pay any import tariffs, etc.)
> Ms. Voigt, 27, paid off her student loans and bought a car in cash. She maxed out her 401(k) and socked $500,000 away in a brokerage account. She easily covered twice-weekly therapy sessions and costly visits to the hair salon every few months. When she felt burned out by the pandemic, she took a year off from work.

> “I used to be able to kind of spend whatever, and it would be fine,” Ms. Voigt said. “Now I’m having to think about it a lot more.”

This is wonderful privilege on display, lol. The average 27 year old in America and Europe doesn’t make anything near enough to stash $500k in their brokerage account.

She got a job with a higher base salary, and now has to adjust her spending by, among other things, bathing her dog herself…The average worker would kill for a life like this.

You probably want posframe along with one of the many options for a vertical completion candidate minibuffer (I like vertico), and a package like marginalia to annotate the options like VS Code. A non-default completion-style like hotfuzz, flx, or orderless might also interest you.

For a while, I was (sometimes) busting patents at Google. That meant searching through literally 1000's of articles to see if one or more provided prior art to invalidate some patent being asserted against us.

Quite often, an article would be behind a paywall (and btw, @throwawaaarrgh, it was often Springer or Taylor, not Elsevier). We'd gladly pay $30 for it if it did the job, but nothing to just find out IF it did. And 99% of the time, it didn't.

So I never paid. Nearly always, the professor published something else on the same topic that was open access.
I hate to undermine your point, but I have no idea what you're referring to :)
I use ivy-mode. Apparently it's not the cool thing anymore, but I use it because it's simple and it works. With ivy-mode enabled, anything Emacs asks you that has a list of options -- so, M-x, file selection, buffer selection, etc. -- will pop up a little menu right in your minibuffer. It should be available in ELPA, with a more recent release in MELPA.

> and of course not chasing the shiny new thing...

The thing is that in that scene, Joe (Lee Pace) is being the salesman to Gordon the engineer, and is just starting to grasp that there is a shiny new thing about to be born, that building computers is going to enable something much bigger than just "we'll sell some hardware, and make some money"; that change is coming, it's going to be for a wider audience than just computer enthusiasts; computers would be the way to get there, but are not the thing itself.

Now we call that thing "the internet", "the huge software industry", "being online all the time", "social media" etc, but then they were not sure what it would look like.

He is totally chasing the shiny new thing that the others don't even see yet. Even as they bring it about.

> Well, given that he references papers from the "corn refiner's association" immediately afterwards, I'll note that this may not be entirely unbiased.

That's a fun conspiracy theory and all, but he's clearly not advocating for HFCS consumption. Watch the entire talk, he's obviously not pro-corn industry. Infact he does attack HFCS specifically but not for metabolically different reasons.

He's clearly concerned about people mistaking HFCS as the problem when fructose is the problem, and sugar is half fructose, so you're not avoiding it by replacing your HFCS with sucrose. Metabolically they're basically the same.
Or rather, make sure you know what you're taking. Chemical reagent tests exist, so do fentanyl, NBOMe, bromo-dragonfly. Responsible use is no overly cautious joke.

During early development you get feedback (both actively and passively), and if you’re raising funds it gives you inflated metrics and indication of PMF.

At later stages those are less valuable, so they might not be getting value out of it anymore.
'Billion dollar code' is another good one, not so much about a fall though.
Yeah, it seems like here in America, violence doesn't come close to sexual acts unless it has real gore.

That being said, the levels don't have to be comparable to each other. Level 2 violence doesn't have to be morally equivalent to level 2 sexual acts. It just needs to be consistent within its own scale. If they were supposed to be morally equivalent, you wouldn't need 4 separate level sliders.

> Look at magsafe. Changed it twice so everyone had to get a whole new set of chargers.

You can still use USB-C for charging macbooks that have the new Magsafe, just like you could with any macbooks since their introduction of USB-C.

Not sure what you were trying to say about everyone suddenly needing to get a new set of chargers either. I have two different M1 macbooks in my household (one from my workplace, one personal), charging both primarily using Magsafe, and have spent exactly zero dollars on "a whole new set of chargers". The magsafe charging cable that came in the box with the device seems very sturdy and has shown zero signs of issues in the past almost-2 years. Never felt compelled to purchase another magsafe cable either. And the new Magsafe cable has USB-C on the other end, so I can use it with any charging brick, and it will work just as well as with the Apple ones (provided the brick can output enough charging power to deliver the full charging speed).
