There's no "the" scientific definition of race. There are various definitions of race that could be called scientific, although I'm not totally sure what it means for a definition to be scientific. The only thing that could be called "the" scientific definition of race is the very unscientific definition that generally emerges like this:

> Genetic variation is greater within groups than between them :^) There is no biological justification for racial groupings :^) Race is purely a social construct :^)

Which admittedly isn't much of a definition but does make it clear (incorrectly) that there is no valid biological justification for racialism.

I define a race just like dictionaries did before the race-doesn't-exist-except-as-a-social-construct movement was established did:

Just picked this book up a month ago so serendipity to see this post show up.

Maybe I’m a bit desensitized to violence, but I didn’t find the book to be difficult to read for its violence. Just the sheer cognitive load it puts on the reader. Much of the language is period correct slang and a simple exchange between two men becomes a half hour long decrypting session of figuring who which “he” is saying something.

Love Cormack McCarthy for this challenging kind of literature, but know before reading it’s more of a homework assignment than something you can passively sit and engage in.

Show HN: New interactive product demo tool (Folio.la)
For most people in urban and suburban areas, a grid connection is going to be sufficiently financially attractive that the rational thing to do is keep it.

For one thing, maintaining sufficient storage at home to fully recharge a car overnight would be prohibitively expensive, but maintaining a grid connection to allow you to do so is cheap.

The process of ripping up the grid is more likely to occur (and in fact is already starting to happen) in remote areas. Traditionally urban consumers have cross-subsidised some remote electricity connections but in many cases it’s cheaper to buy those consumers off-grid systems or independent microgrids than maintain grid infrastructure connecting those locations.
> So I’m curious if that can break down what otherwise appears to be complete obfuscation.

This seems to be a complete misunderstanding of what encryption is.

Obfuscation generally means muddling things around in ways that can be reconstructed. It's entirely possible a (custom - because you'd need custom tokenization) LLM could deobfuscate things.

Encryption OTOH means using a piece of information that isn't present. Weak encryption gets broken because that missing information can be guessed or recovered easily.

But this isn't the case for correctly implemented strong encryption. The missing information cannot be recovered by any non-quantum process in a reasonable timeframe.

There are exceptions - newly developed mathematical techniques can sometimes make recovering that information quicker.

But in general math is the weakest point of LLMs, so it seems an unlikely place for them to excel.

This seems to be the main definition of deep vs shallow:

> It takes months of scrutiny by a dedicated few to develop confidence that you've winkled them all out.

By this definition, bugs like Heartbleed were indeed deep: they were not randomly found by a million eyeballs in a few days, they were were found by months of careful scrutiny by experts.

The fact that a bug can be fixed with a one line change doesn't mean that it's a shallow bug. A one-line bug can induce a rare, hard to observe behavior in very corner circumstances. Even if users are hitting it, the bug reports can be entirely useless at face value: they can look like a crash that someone saw once with no idea what was special that one time (I bet you would find OpenSSL bug reports like this that were symptoms of Heartbleed going back much longer).

This is why you need a complex and time-consuming QA process to even identify the long tail of deep bugs, which no amount of casual eyeballs will replace.
> A formal blaming process means that the question of who to blame is decided objectively and people have more of an incentive actually act correctly.

I am not sure the creation of a formal process (created by those who have the power to create formal processes) is inherently more fair to those without power than an informal process.

Especially if formality is confused for objectivity or correctness. The latter two are likely impossible for human beings to acheive, so a starting point for a better process is going to be recognizing that the it is going to be affected by the blindspots, flaws, and other foibles of the people who created it.

I've noticed some interesting things about open source projects that I don't think ESR mentions:

1. Most contributions from volunteers can't be used as-is and require significant work to incorporate; code reviews take a great deal of work, and requests for revision are typically ignored.

2. Paying maintainers and developers is usually the most effective way to enable them to work on the project long-term.

3. In the absence of formal structure, projects can become cults of personality (hopefully benevolent dictators) or community (growing the community is more important than actually creating good software), possibly to the detriment of the project.

4. Companies love it when you build software for them for free, and are eager to exploit any open source software, e.g. by selling it as a service. But they hate it when their own employees work for free on things that the company doesn't care about. They also don't like paying to develop anything (such as open source software) which will be given away for free, perhaps to their competitors.

Driving assist is so annoying. It has to be the exact same distance behind the car in front of it, regardless if cars are slowing down ahead or speeding up. No sense of the flow of traffic.

Maybe playing around with a lot of new frameworks, APIs is actually what you want to be doing? Maybe you don't actually want to make something popular that you'd then need to maintain, as that's more boring. But let's assume you do.

I also have a list of ideas, with hundreds of entries on it. As I've gotten older, the amount of time I can put into one without becoming demotivated seems to have increased. Used to be a weekend, but now I can now put ~2 months into one without knowing if anyone is interested in it.

To keep going past that limit, it helps if the idea has a shape such that a very simple version can be quickly released, but then extended. Once you have any minor traction at all, the external validation makes it way easier to remain motivated.

A related issue here is that the video you're watching may not be extremist content, but may be in a niche that extremist content gets recommended to. I've noticed this happens with YouTube and any video regarding Boxing for some reason.

I'll acknowledge Large Hammer Models have done surprisingly well, but true General Artificial Fastening is obviously not just Hammer models scaled up. There's things a screw driver can do which a hammer is hopeless on. Such as taking apart your eye glasses (and more importantly, putting them back together). This isn't something that is going to be solved once the tradesmen have a bit more training. Its fundamental to the way hammers work. We can only do so much by hammering in all our screws.

Yeah, in general the more data you're able to use (assuming the context window supports it), the better results tend to be. We arrived at the data schema being a good enough compromise at which the benefits outweigh the risks for several use cases. Besides, some data stores that are generated by third-parties actually have common schemas (think Sendgrid / Hubspot activity data), so you're not risking much but potentially gaining a lot of sales ops productivity.

So I guess you dislike Xorg, then, and prefer the much more “do one thing well” approach of Wayland? Wayland is a tiny protocol only, that builds on kernel APIs to manage buffers instead of reimplementing it in userspace and it’s implementations are much more easier to reason about than the truly monolithic XOrg - which included everything from printing to whatnot.

This is the point in dispute. As far as I can see Heartbleed did not require any special knowledge of the codebase; a drive-by reviewer taking a look at that single file had just as much chance of finding the bug as a dedicated maintainer familiar with the specific codebase. The fact that it was discovered independently by two different teams, at least one of which was doing a general security audit rather than specifically targetting OpenSSL, supports that.

Yes you can stop project because after setting up name and code you realize it is not really that cool in terms of other people or even you won’t really use it if you build it.

One other way, is you realize how much more work it is and how much other mundane things go with it so you just come up with another project you believe somehow will be easier.

Personal opinion, I'm not sure this matters too much. This is using your own session cookie to access Bard, and it will be rate limited to whatever rate limit Google apply to individuals using Bard, which will likely be insufficient to run a business off.

Disclaimer, I work for Google, not on this, and this is all just my personal opinion not based on any insider info.
Cardiologist here, can confirm. We’ve long been seeing these promising trends, in the US, Europe, and elsewhere. I would say the greatest reason for this are 1- advances in percutaneous interventions (which is as much about having new tools to fix acute MIs, such as more effective stents, as much as logistically making these tools + the skilled physicians to operate them widely available in any place at any time), 2- relatively cheap & highly effective cardiac medications, & 3- the hugely successful anti-smoking campaign. Diet/exercise changes of course may be some contributors but they’re clearly not being widely followed.

I actually think Bark actually beats Eleven right now. Bark tends to add a bit more of a metallic twinge towards the end of longer audio segments (I wonder if this is a bug and not a limitation actually...), but Bark is more expressive.

The trick to exceeding Eleven quality is using multiple speaker prompts, and swapping them in and out over the course of longer texts. Each is a slight variation on the original. If you hand tune the swaps it's super good, but if you just swap in 'beginning of new paragraph' 'continuation speaker' automatically, that alone is a huge boost.

I don't have a clip handy but I will make a YouTube or something this week, because the quality is wild if you do this. There's some passable audio clips on my README here https://github.com/JonathanFly/bark but all those are just using the same speaker for every line. That was all just the first samples I tried, from weeks ago, without really putting any effort into it. You can do a lot better.

The extra expressiveness of Bark does come with it being harder to control and having a bit of a mind of its own at times. (And this can also be very very funny: https://twitter.com/jonathanfly/status/1657658109001596929)

So for a production or real time use case Eleven makes more sense. For example even my best speakers will switch to a new voice mid prompt, once in awhile. (As if the audio clip was from interview segment.)
a manual transmission car does not require more focus and thought as very soon changing gears becomes a reflex, ie it doesn't require the driver's prefrontal cortex. The same can not be said for repetitive work in programming (eg as in programming in assembly or C)

> Will you volunteer to tell the retiring teacher or firefighter that they will have to starve because you’d rather punish the ultimate perpetrators rather than hold the actually guilty (the then CEO and the board) accountable to the law?

I would. And firefighters and teachers are used to getting fucked by everybody anyway. (mom is a teacher, and have several friends who are firefighters).

But in reality, big union funds, invest only a little bit in any one company, so no, some big company loosing some of it market cap, would make little difference to each individual teacher and firefighter.

There is also a host-exec script that allows to spawn commands outside the container while inside. E.g. it is not possible to run 'podman' nested, but with host-exec can still run containers while inside distrobox (distrobox isn't used for isolation, but for the ability to run a mutable OS of your choice).

There are a small number of programs, usually those that need root (such as 'cpupower') which also need to be run "outside".
