Speaking as someone who witnessed them from 0 to everything - it really has not much to do with that.

It has to do with how fast mobile payment swept through the country to be the connecting factor for all online services and it has to do with how easy it was and is for big players to out compete or swallow small innovators and harvest their innovations.
The links you posted are inflammatory nonsense that try to draw a line between concern over mainstream media coverage of race and crime and "fascism". It's contrived at best.

Are the statistics wrong? Is it wrong to say that media coverage is slanted and focuses on the minority of racist white-on-black crime while ignoring the reverse? Seems like this is all fairly well documented. Slapping slurs on the posts that point that out and calling for the posters to be "cancelled" or suppressed by calling them "dangerous" - that, if anything, strikes me as fascistic.
Ask HN: Issues with Stripe Webhooks?
I've been seeing a lot of failed webhooks today from Stripe, all containing an empty string as the event object.

This has never happened before so I'm assuming it's a bug?

Is this isolated to me, or is it more widespread?
The NCUA doesn’t insure too-big-to-fail banks to my knowledge. I feel that’s a reasonable alternative somebody would pick over an FDIC-insured bank were they concerned about insurance assessments. There’s also offshore, as you said.
.com is also a valid file extension. Just learn to parse a URI.

For the Wells Fargo example at least, presumably Wells is registered with the TMCH (https://www.trademark-clearinghouse.com/) and this will raise a flag at the registrar level if someone tries to purchase it. At the very least the would-be registrant should see a warning about it.

I have chatgpt plus, and it says I'm using the May 12th version, but I don't have the beta features available; I guess it must be a staged roll out.

I am not arguing for zero regulation.

I’m saying you have to consider the price of regulation.

Airbus is able to compete in the airliner market because it’s a huge incumbent.

Maybe this is the price we have to pay for safe planes. But there is almost zero competition in the airline manufacturing sector because the regulation is keeping out any potential competition.
The US prison system is violent and brutal, which begets a high recidivism rate. In my opinion this is because American culture tends to confuse retribution for justice but opinions vary I'm sure.
It is quite well documented, as I understand, so in this context I would not call it "rare". I would call a subject rare if it was rare in the context of possible training data, like for example an obscure sport or obscure programming language.
That is it, pretty much.

The problem is that coherent musical structures are much more constrained. You can't just XYZ... into a space and get something that makes sense.

That will kind of work for low-density music, which includes a lot of landfill dance + subgenres. But these statistical models are blind to larger and more complex structures, and completely unaware of cultural context and semantics.

It's actually a harder problem than language modelling because the spaces and the grammars are much larger, especially once you start including sound quality and production values as well as arrangement and core composition.
I dunno. I think most non-technical people know that .zip indicates a zipfile, and know what a zipfile is.

It depends on the country. Where I live (Australia), we don’t have “LLCs”, we do have “PTY LTDs”, which are like an LLC - but it is a corporation and all corporations have directors, although the majority of PTY LTDs are sole director sole shareholder. Here, all companies are corporations

I should point out that in the traditional legal sense of the term, even US LLCs are corporations-it is just that people in the US have adopted some weird redefinition of “corporation” which excludes them. Under Australian law, a US LLC is a corporation, albeit a foreign one. Worldwide, I think most countries legal systems would reach the same conclusion

The British monarchy is a corporation (a corporation sole) - actually, a whole bunch of distinct single member corporations (the monarch), one for each Commonwealth realm, and also one for each Australian state and Canadian province - each called “the Crown in right of X”. Maybe that’s an example of a corporation without any directors, although one might (rather meaninglessly) claim the monarch is the sole director

> ... the checklist is the most effective system of preventing errors, so effective that pilots and surgeons use checklists routinely when they fly and operate. (When I had a recent biopsy, I noticed the surgeon and nurses clearly following checklists as they confirmed the site for the procedure before anesthetizing me, checked my identification bracelet and asked my name and date of birth.)

Suddenly I'm picturing a new world in which we knowledge workers all have our own personal wikis and carefully go through a checklist for all new info we add to it. Not only "is this AI?" but a general sanity check too.
If I buy a front door lock that has a systemic manufacturing problem and someone breaks into my house, I might want to sue the manufacturer.

But if someone breaks into my house--regardless of whether it was unlocked, the lock was defective, or they broke a window--and the police are negligent or incompetent in investigating or prosecuting the perpetrators, in what world is that a) not the police's fault? and b) an opportunity for the _police_ to sue the _manufacturer_?

If I start a cultural movement to get rid of front door locks and it gains traction, and then B&Es spike, can the police sue _me_ too?

> Lots of comments that didn’t read the article so here’s a good excerpt on why there’s a lawsuit.

Yea, I don't think that is it.

> "Car thieves ... engage in reckless driving, creating substantial safety risks to themselves and Baltimore residents and their property."

I don't see anything about Hyundai or Kia taking the cars for joy rides. They are not going out and encouraging people to steal their cars. They are not responsible for enforcing community standards. There is no law which states they must use any certain anti-theft technology. The cars are in no way malfunctioning. So why is there a lawsuit?

Why not go after the owners? They bought the cars and didn't care whether they had anti-theft technology.

Why would anyone want to mine asteroids for iron, given that it's the most abundant element on Earth? I don't think I ever recall seeing a proposal like that outside of the broader notion of "space factories" (where such mining makes sense to reduce the cost of shipping materials back and forth, not because it's cheaper as such).

It's stuff like platinum and germanium that makes asteroid mining potentially interesting.
Sam Harris is a radical leftist.
One thing I've been sort of curious about with non-carbothermal iron ore reduction is whether it could bring back wrought iron. Wrought iron disappeared around the 1960s due to high production costs — the crude product contains carbon, which must be removed by working — but iron produced with hydrogen or electricity will not have a chance to absorb carbon like this. There's more to it than that — you have to achieve a particular grain structure and fibrous silicate inclusions. But the corrosion resistance is nice — some wrought iron fencing in the highly corrosive atmosphere of New Orleans persists to this day. One paper reported that the corrosion resistance is better than mild steel but lower than weathering steel — but without creating the stains we associate with weathering steel:

Not to defend the police but the cops (in CA) did follow up on a burglary of my wife's handbag (with wallet/ids/phone) from her car at a gas station.

If the theft was part of a bigger issue with (to use the Kwikset hypothetical) the vendor's product defect allowing mass thefts then it would be important to the police.
That's fair. For many systems you can come up with a pathological workload that defies any existing optimizations.

Just to add, personally I'm ambivalent on the topic.
No, just don't modify the software itself without making your changes open-sources and you will be good to go. Having scripts on the platform is not modifying the software.
Common Lisp keeps the stupid dynamic parts out of language areas that are connected to critical code execution paths. For instance, no aspect of lexical variables is dynamic. But you have dynamic variables, which are separate in such a way that a compiler can easily tell the difference.

I believe there are areas of CLOS which are stupid dynamic; but even there, the specification tries to tread carefully. Firstly, you don't have to use CLOS in a Lisp program; and if you need data structures with named slots, structs may suffice.

Importantly, Common Lisp keeps a kind of basic type versus class type separation in the language. You don't feel it because it's not obnoxious, like int versus Integer in Java. Built in basic object types like integers and strings all have a CLOS class in Common Lisp. But, the class of that class (the metaclass) is not the same as that of a class which the application defines with defclass. The Lisp compiler doesn't have to worry about silly monkey patching being perpetrated on a string or integer.

In some areas of the language, it's clear that the designers were trying to avoid bringing in dynamic behavior that would interfere with performance. For instance, conditions are defined in such a way that they are "class-like" objects, but without the actual requirement that they be CLOS instances.

The meta-object protocol (MOP) was also kept out of the language. I'm not sure whether the MOP is "stupid dynamic" because it also seems to hold the keys to avoiding "stupid dynamic" in that if you don't like some particular dynamism in a given class, maybe you can design your own meta-class which avoids it. It might be possible using MOP to, say, have an object system where the inherited slots of a derived class are at the same offset in the underlying vector storage as in the parent class, so accesses can be optimized. Maybe you can ban multiple inheritance in that meta-class.
I would prefer to have crowdsourced user-written tags instead of AI. That would let us make genuinely useful tags, like "author is an ignoramus" or "article takes ten pages to get to the point." More of a SponsorBlock for web links.

I wonder what happens if instead of dark matter halos, mond is used for galaxies that do the lensing. If the cmb estimate gives the correct hubble constant, and mond doesn't do enough lensing for this result to make sense (less mass, less lensing?), is this result a point in favor of dark matter over mond?

Others have explained the difference, but I wouldn't use Rocket at all, to be honest. It's barely maintained, the maintainer left for some time without telling anyone and without giving any repository access to other contributors, and it has a bus factor of one. I'd recommend Axum since it's backed by the Tokio contributors which makes it much less likely to be unmaintained later on.
Reading Jung I had the impression that the only meaningful interpretation of dreams has to be made by the dreamer - I'm also reminded of Chomsky's thoughts on the limits of language for mapping intelligence and applying that to "translating" the dream in words.

It's true that the whole problem of cancer therapy is "how do I target these cells over here, while avoiding the rest of your healthy cells, when they look mostly the same" And you're right that this is a really exciting and promising approach!

A partial list of the "catches" at present are

1) tumors are really good at down-regulating the immune system. If they weren't, they would have been cleared already

2) we're still fairly bad at knowing which of the many mutations in a tumor are going to be good neoantigens - that is, which ones the immune system will be good at recognizing and ramping up against

3) It's expensive to design personalized therapies for every patient, but may be necessary (see some of my other comments below)

4) Tumors aren't single cells, they're collections of them that can have different characteristics. Just like with other therapies, sometimes immunotherapies kill 99% of the tumor, but leave that 1% to come roaring back. (same idea as antibiotic resistance)

So yeah, lots of hurdles to overcome, but overall, I'm genuinely excited about the rapid progress we're making in the area of immunotherapies. It's impossible to overstate the effect that sustained research funding has had on the rate of advances in this field.

BritGPT is directly relevant to this. It's the British LLM that 'do the same in the UK.'

I know the cost is going to be a couple thousand dollars. It's something that I'd be reasonably able to afford in the next few years if I made it a goal. It's value, however, is less to me than a lot of other things that would cost the same amount. I could upgrade a lot of my hobby equipment for the price of a trip to Europe. That would be an investment that gives back every day for years. I'd like to experience other cultures, but the amount of immersion I'd get for that price is nothing compared to the enjoyment I could get from better landscaping in my little yard, a project horse to spend the next 15 years bonding with and enjoying, or some better power tools to keep the house up with. I'm not 20 any more. I'm married. I certainly can't just leave the country for 6 months and backpack and to keep me and my husband in reasonable accommodations for that length of time is well beyond our resources and the amount of time off I can finagle at the job I love.

With a bit of effort we could afford say, 5k, to go off for a couple weeks and do the tourist things in basically any region that piques our interest. That same amount of money could provide both of us a lot more growth and enjoyment without leaving the US.
