It's weird to read pieces like this from the NY Times when I watched it happen in Portland and the same media basically brushed it off.

Quantum computers are a bit like fusion power plants: they already exist today and are very real, but they're also not very practical and it's an open question if they ever will be practical.
The obsession about shills directly stems from the Red Scare which remains part of the core programming of Americans ever since. The CCP employes lots of commentators on domestic social media to enforce government narrative, but there is no evidence they are doing the same on English-speaking forums posing as grass root users. Native-level English skills are rare to come across in China, and anyone with that level of knowledge can easily find better paying jobs than this. LLMs may change that some day, but they won't be the only one deploying LLMs to attempt to influence online opinion.

You probably should not care about it. The only real threat that China poses to people who live in the West is nuclear war, but that is already deterred by mutually assured destruction and in any case the Chinese government having your social media data does not make it any more likely that they are going to start a nuclear war. China's government is a threat to the people who live in the areas that it controls. Since I live in an area that the US government controls, the US government having my data is almost certainly a bigger danger to me than China having it, although to be fair the US government having my data probably is not a very big danger to me either. I find the NSA's activities to be more insulting than actually frightening.
I guess this is a bit like my take on Uber - they may be rotten to the core and damaging the very fabric of society, but at the very least they pushed competitors of all kinds to improve the hailing/ordering experience, so now taxis and rideshares around the world can be ordered via an app, with built-in map and address search.

Back to Revolut - I'm of two minds about bank apps. On the one hand, good apps are good, and some things really get streamlined this way. On the other hand, this only sets us up for another battle in the war on general-purpose computing: a fight over mobile device ownership.

Banks didn't just improve the UX of their apps. Some made them the primary or sole remote interface to one's accounts. Many (most?) are now using apps for 2FA, and heavily pushing it - with such banks, using the web interface from a PC browser still requires confirming any meaningful operation via the smartphone app.

The problem here is, banks are one of the most eager users of remote device attestation features, and (by being big and full of money) they have all the leverage over users and smartphone vendors alike. Many bank apps will refuse to run if they detect the phone isn't pristine and fully locked down by the vendor - and with modern phones now coming with built-in APIs for such checks, rooting the phone or flashing it with custom firmware is quickly losing all value. After all, what good is a rooted phone if you can't use it for anything important that smartphones now do?
Here's a thing I've wondered, and it's a genuine question. I'm not terribly well educated so please bear with me if every bit of this is wrong... and correct my understanding!

If electricity produces heat through resistance and the earth loses heat to space, if the rate of heat produced by electricity is more than the rate we lose heat to space, won't that warm the earth over time?

If that's the case, wouldn't it then be wise to shut down all electricity production, world-wide?

Please note I'm not advocating this as a "solution" because obviously there are a huge number of problems with throwing humanity back into the stone age.
Your misunderstanding of what the GFW is for perfectly demonstrates why people like you don't deserve to have your opinions on China taken seriously.
> I will promote the person with regular output and an eye for outcomes, doing the right thing, improving process, etc over the one who just blindly runs at full steam all of the time.

I would consider that to be impactful and part of performing at 200%, yet it still won't necessarily lead to promotions. Most managers don't care about the team or company, and definitely don't promote based on stuff like "improve process"
Unpopular opinion that might be due to being an old curmudgeon by tech standards:

TypeScript, the ES's and TC39s are a mistake since the beginning and ruined JavaScript. The root cause of all this is "JavaScript sucks and we want to build big complicated apps with it" and by "we" I mean big software teams working at big tech companies earning a small fortune every year.

If I have to write TypeScript, then I might just write Java or even C#, since it's a lousy copy of those languages. ( and yes, I say that very loosely ).

The modern ES[insert number] classes are weak and out of place and the module system is a complete joke and disaster. Truly! those people were either on drugs or are playing a joke on the "design by committee" phenomenon.

Yes, Javascript is not a great language, but it won not just because of distribution but also because it as made to be simple to pick up. Have any of these people watched a beginner and not-so beginner try to pick up "modern JavaScript" or TypeScript? Even Java looks like Basic in comparison!.

Thank God TypeScript and ES6 won over Dash/Dart from Google, but god damn it what an hollow victory.

As for myself, this old curmudgeon, I just stopped caring and ignored all of this frontend cesspool. Waiting/hoping all of this rots away.
It's better to email hn@ycombinator.com with these sort of questions.
All non-dividend paying stocks are zero-coupon perpetual bonds anyway. Nothing new about it
Profit, presumably? Same as any other company. Engagement = profit has been the formula for some time now.
Because you keep posting the same request for money over and over, which breaks this site's guidelines (see "Guidelines" in the footer of every page).
Cash does not have a negative coupon. Cash has no coupon.

I feel introducing quasi terminology helps confuse rather than help.

Index linked bonds, I think you're getting at the concept by talking about inflation, are linked to price changes. Check the actual price index (CPI, RPI, etc) of linkage for what price changes.

Most bonds are not index linked, not hedged against inflation, and have a fixed coupon. Whether or not that fixed coupon is or isn't above inflation depends on what inflation is. That's why bonds are classed as 'fixed income', or in alternate terminology 'financial assets' (not 'real' where 'real' has some link to inflation, or nominal incomes).

Further, bonds vary widely in terms of coupon, can be stripped of coupons, etc. So rather than coupon, yield to maturity might be more useful to look at vis inflation.
Same. I went down this road with GPT and was kinda disappointed TBH, since IIRC it recommended the language for the purpose.

I use ABS, Perl, PHP or Nim for most of that stuff but am always looking for new ones to try. (Preferably single binary these days since I have to migrate systems from time to time)

The oil companies are putting out propaganda to make you believe that climate change can't be stopped. The message has changed as follows:

1) Climate change isn't happening

2) Climate change is happening, but we didn't cause it

3) Climate change is happening, we caused it, but it can't be stopped.

If you believe any of the above statements then you will not get in the way of oil companies profits. That is the intended goal.

The reality is that there's loads you can do at both the personal and public policy level.

Don't believe the lies, climate change can be mitigated.

I had exactly the opposite reaction, though I came in thinking it all be fire and brimstone. Genesis is a wonderful take on the attitude one should adopt toward the natural world. Regardless of what our scientific understanding of nature is (today’s will certainly look weird 3000 years from now), we know to behold it is good.
I also tried this exact prompt and it gave me the following response:

The article says:

“There is not any doubt over the completeness of the balance sheet, which, in turn, logically means that total revenue is also correct,” he[0] said.

By my reading, this directly contradicts the statement of the auditors, published on Revolut's web site[1]:

As described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, we were unable to satisfy ourselves concerning the completeness and occurrence of certain revenues for the year ended 31 December 2021. We have concluded that where the other information refers to revenue or related balances these may be materially misstated for the same reason.

By my reading, this says that it's not just revenue that may be materially misstated, but revenue or related balances. So the statement by the CFO directly contradicts what the auditors say about both the Income Statement and the Balance Sheet.

> If they don’t, there is usually some other issue (difficultly to work with) explicitly holding them back.

> There are lots of reasons, both managerial issues and employee issues, for someone to get passed over despite having the right mindset.

You're contradicting yourself. Not surprising, lying is one way people get promoted and turn others into clock punchers.
Thank you. That's a good point, we should experiment soon. Originally, we had free text input, but too many students quit with that difficulty. Maybe a mix or new concept can fit well here.

Edit: Re-reading your comment, perhaps it's about the other question types like drag'n'drop, diagrams or acronym ones? Yes we need to bring them inline with our redesign more strongly for sure.

Please can you tell me about any buggyness you experienced? Either here or I'd be happy to talk on Zoom or read your emails: talk@revision.ai

The last time printer shenanigans came up on HN, it was related specifically to apparent Brother shenanigans [0]. I was planning on buying a Brother at the time due to similar comments like yours, and still did so. I've been a happy customer since day 1 with the thing, it just works, even on mobile, and it's fast and quiet. I hope Brother can remain sane.

You are over-analyzing this. People like Elon will say whatever benefits their motives, regardless of their beliefs.
Just as an FYI if you're like me and wanted a Raspberry Pi for something like PiHole but don't want to pay insane prices there are tons of clones out there like the Orange Pi (or just google "Raspberry Pi Alternatives")
Wall is undamaged. Car is damaged. In that case nothing happens. (In CA, where this took place)
Don't forget that having a GNN (or perhaps Sheaf NN) model the system can allow decomposition such that an analytical expression can be extracted to explain the dynamics of the model quite well. This was shown via Cranmer et al, and continues to be a good way to find explanatory models that both interpolate as well as the NN and extrapolate past the provided data.
Tailscale is a perfect example, I only know they exist because their engineering blog gets shared (and I quite like their break downs)

"leveling expectations" are mostly pure nonsense, you should know that.
People are promoted for visibility in the eyes of management and delivering the final product, but not real ownership of the actual work that goes into advocating for and building the correct solution (which management is often clueless about, since it involves details which may seem minute but are essential to producing real value).

Not all "zero day" is created equally.

The vast majority of home users have never heard of secure boot, which defaults to off. Every corporate network I've walked into I have been the one to push it, as most have never heard of it. Both Microsoft and aws only recently introduced support in the cloud environments, so the majority of cloud hosted environments have not turned it on (which requires replacing the vm). It is far from almost everyone in the world who is even in a position to be impacted by a secure boot bypass.
>‘Well there weren’t amps.’” Albeit a simplification, Setzer’s quip is pretty accurate.

Seems like Setzer can quip pretty accurately from time to time. Not too many like him.

For almost 20 years starting in the early 1960's, guitar amplifiers got more capable every year in ways that professionals could appreciate.

Santana was a good example, before Woodstock he was already developing his maxed single-note lead guitar tone & style. He's always been the bandleader and never intended to do vocals so his flambuoyant instrumental style makes for a good frontman, his vocalists over the years have been professional sidemen. Every year he would come back with better amps than the year before, same with lots of classic rockers, like Steppenwolf or the Beach Boys. You could see the smile on their faces as they played last year's hits with their new-found stonk. Better equpment each year than had ever existed before.

Before that it was not too easy to make single-string guitar notes loud enough to stand out from the mix and substitute for the original rock & roll melody instrument, the saxophone.

Players needed to bang on all six strings at a time just to be heard, keeping them in the rhythm section. Plus it took a while for solid-body guitars to proliferate, which could actually be cranked without feedback.

Vocalists had to fight feedback too and were mostly the only electified member of a big band or jazz group.

Nobody really had enough satisfying power for any of this until the 1960's.

The 1950's Fender Bassman preferred by Setzer for his lead guitar playing is only a 50-watt amplifier, not really voiced differently than other amps sold for 6-string guitarists. There was just no reverb or tremolo on a Bassman since bass players really did not need effects. It had strong enough speakers to be run at full volume where the tubes were easily overdriven to some tasty distortion for guitarists but bass players growing up all said WTF. It wasn't good enough for rock bass with only 50W when you really need about 300W for clean bass to be as loud as an acoustic drum kit. But cranked all the way up a 50W amp is barely loud enough for lead guitar though.

When you think about it, when the Bassman was designed it was intended to make Fender's new solid-body basses as loud as an acoustic string bass. Otherwise you wouldn't hear anything. That's really about all it will do for a bass, man.

Ampeg was a bit ahead of Fender at the time, their amps were designed to make an acoustic string bass louder to begin with so they could be heard along with all the horns.

I hope it would actually turn fully off instead of just to 20%. If we did this everywhere and regulate outdoor lighting severely, we may be able to see the starry night sky again just on the outskirts of cities.
It's not "free merchandize", as I outlined quite extensively a few posts above.

Why he has choosen Asus is also explained in the video. He doesn't rant about Asus because he didn't get a sponsorship, he rants about them because they screwed customers over and failed to stand up for their mistakes in present and past.

I think that's a huge difference.
What is "perception, metacognition, curiosity"

Seriously. How does a bag of random particles have those things?

It cannot, by our own definition.

Hence the metaphysical problem of 'consciousness' as it relates to our variation of scientific materialism.

I suggest the pragmatic approach is along the lines of what the OP said aka 'sufficiently large neural net will be indistinguishable from human' and that's it. We will see things that we can de facto contemplate as 'curiosity' 'perception' 'meta-cognition' if we want to, especially if we start to develop a more meta understanding of these systems, or not, and that's it.

We'll probably be arguing about 'cognition' long, long after we have variation of AI that kind of seem to be AGI. By many measures we are already kind of there Chat GPT will fool humans probably most of the time and that's that.

Wasn’t expecting that promo at the end, but who am I kidding, no one writes seriously about crypto without promoting something.
There are two main problems with social media, as it exists today:

First, the company that operates the social media system, has access to data that exposes extremely personal information about the users, sometimes directly, and sometimes through inference based on user behavior. This naturally attracts parties that might benefit from this information, originally advertisers, but increasingly nation states. Personally, I think the solution to this involves both privacy legislation, and legislation that dramatically restricts what foreign entities can do in the United States, but I acknowledge this is very controversial.

Second, the algorithms that the social media site uses to decide what content to presented to users is extremely susceptible to manipulation and to causing undesirable side effects. Even if the site operator is benign, the algorithm might magnify, extreme or emotional content in order to maximize engagement. We have seen this for several years now. And, of course, the site operators may choose to amplify messaging that they like or suppress messaging that they don’t. This may seem great if your values align with the site operator, but remember that operators change, e.g., Twitter. And of course, the site operator might be hostile to your values, e.g., TikTok. I think that the solution to this problem is actually much easier than the solution to the first problem. The solution to algorithmic problems is to make the algorithm opt-in. For example, when you join a social media site, you initially might be presented with the option to use company, curated prioritization, or to use time and subscription-based prioritization. However, social media sites should be encouraged or perhaps forced to allow community curated, prioritization, and allow community members to opt into, a community feed versus the company curated feed. I think we would see a small number of users and communities who would quickly come up with their own curated feeds, that would be popular with like-minded individuals.
Now you're talking about something completely different though. Connecting to a printer over LAN is not at all the same as a Web browser talking to a third party webserver over WAN.
Neither China nor Russia strike me as the main forces eroding US democracy (or whatever passes for democracy here), and the interference goes both ways. The idea that TikTok could drive the erosion of democratic processes in the US strikes me as silly, especially considering domestic forces like militarization and economic stagnation.

I'm actually all for a TikTok ban as long as we also ban other social media. I think it's all toxic. But the excessive focus on TikTok is just yellow peril/red scare nonsense in pursuit of a new cold war.

"mere hundreds of dollars"

This is incredibly insensitive. That's a lot of money to lose to many people.
That is not "evidence" of anything. It's just assumptions. You keep saying what you think is going on without ever saying how or why. You are not describing any mechanisms and you are not explaining any observations.

I have a suggestion: try to convince yourself that you are wrong; not right. Science gives you the tools to know when you're wrong. If you're certain you're right about something then you're probably wrong and you should keep searching until you find where and how.

For example, try to trace in your mind the mechanisms and functionality of language models, and see where your assumptions about their abilities come from.

Good luck.
N26 has been in trouble with its national banking regulator repeatedly, although mostly for lack of effective anti-fraud measures.
It's really use case specific in my case - things like having a selected key should be straightforward enough, but some of my components weren't written with that in mind. It's little things like that that make me say it's a good exercise - many of the difficulties are my own fault, which means it's easy to learn from my mistakes.

Music theory in general is a somewhat difficult abstraction due to the multiple ways to interpret different things in different contexts. The same chord progression might be thought of as being in several different keys based on other contextual information for example.
Thanks that's actually an amazing perspective. Universe, after all - isn't that old if you think about it.
