> Some of the dangers of AI chatbots were “quite scary”, he told the BBC, warning they could become more intelligent than humans and could be exploited by “bad actors”. “It’s able to produce lots of text automatically so you can get lots of very effective spambots. It will allow authoritarian leaders to manipulate their electorates, things like that.”

You can do bad things with it but people who believe we're on the brink of singularity, that we're all going to lose our jobs to chatgpt and that world destruction is coming are on hard drugs.
> I thought Minsky happened in the US Virgin Islands, where it was legal (but now isn’t, thankfully)

Just looking at the natural experiment of differing ages of consent in different First World countries there doesn't seem to be an inherent problem with an age of consent below 18.

In the US it is 18 in only 11 states (Arizona, California, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, North Dakota, Oregon, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, and Wisconsin).

It is 17 in 6 (Colorado, Illinois, Louisiana, Missouri, New York, and Texas).

In the other 33 plus DC it is 16.

In Europe it is 18 in 3 countries (Vatican City, Turkey, Malta), 17 in 2 countries (Cypress, Ireland), 16 in 20 countries, 15 in 12 countries, and 14 in 14 countries.

It's 16 in Canada, Japan, New Zealand, and most of Australia (17 in the rest).
> a $3.24 to $9.25 million expenditure to deter a single hijacking. Put differently, if the dollar equivalent of the loss to an individual hijacked passenger were in the range of $76,718 to $219,221, then the costs of screening would just offset the expected hijacking losses.

How does this compare to other crime fighting expenditures? Seems high to me, but I generally live a peaceful life, and I no longer own a gun.
reasonably fast is a bit of an understatement IMO. I don't know another language that is as machine friendly AND at the same time allows for reasonably high productivity and can be understood by (non-Computer-) scientists.

> I don’t know where these so called employees work, but at least in the corporate offices uh nobody pays any mind to any breaks you take unless you have some really anal manage.

I have first hand knowledge of a business that did not control the employees in the office, but wanted to rule that any time not spent in front of the computer while remote was not to be considered working time.

Don't know how it ended in the end, AFAIK the latest review wasn't so strongly worded.

So some business may bother with that, but not necessarily on all fronts.
There are some interesting approaches to regenerative agriculture that somewhat sidestep the problem of labour cost. I.e. Mark Shepard runs a 46ha farm in US mid west that he says has been profitable basically from year one. Very small degree of mechanization (basically a tractor and some implements) and no use of chemical fertilizers or any other inputs (pesticides, herbicides, irrigation). They basically cut out a huge share of conventional farming's cost structure to be able to compensate for increased labour costs.

I live in a rural place and the typical farmer here has mid to high seven figures invested in machines and implements and spends a lot of money on inputs, which in turn has contributed to farms getting bigger and bigger, which in turn requires more investment in mechanization, etc. On the other hand, we have founded a non-profit CSA market garden on 4.000m2 that can pay 1.5 people a decent salary. My personal impression is that for farming to become financially attractive to the practitioners again, we need to reduce size, reduce inputs, reduce capital expenditure and put quality and diversity back into focus.
What is your take then? And please don't say "stochastic parrot" or "hype train".
> We also just launched H100s for $2.40/hr.

What's the availability like? I had tried it once and had problem getting any GPU.
Ah yes white washing sex work.

Woman find powerful man attractive? Srsly?

All woman I know don't give a f about 'powerful men'.

And while I think sex work should be allowed and legal, there needs to be a mechanism which makes it much much harder to coheres someone into doing sex work who actually doesn't want to do it but has no better option.

You know the people who do sex work because there is no other option. The kids! Who do this because of there parents .

People who do this due to pressure. People don't even go to the police if they are aware that a priest was molesting a child! People were not telling CK of who was mastorbating in the office!

And don't think most girls in Thailand like their jobs. They got used to.

What any documentation about prostitutes. They accept what they do. Seldom have I seen anyone saying 'oh I love my job's the opposite is true.

We take dreams from people because we can.

Even normal woman have so much pressure alone going out of the house without makeup.

Or having to have sex.

Most people are not as oversexed as you. Stop projecting.
I'm not against machine learning, I'm against regulatory capture of it. It's an amazing technology. It still doesn't change the fact that they're just function approximators that are trained to minimize loss on a dataset.

Wouldn’t the logical place to start your research be the article itself so you know the context?
Very few: https://btcmap.org/map#4/-36.84446/-66.35742

But that’s not really the point though, is it?

As the earlier poster from Argentina said, pesos are used for the “last mile”. Whoever you’re trading sats for pesos with are likely to be familiar with Lightning and willing to do the trade with it because it’s fast and cheap.

As for the issue of broader adoption, that’s just a matter of education, trust, time, and the right incentives to make the switch in a hyperinflationary environment…
Not that it proves anything but one of my uncles was a marine who spent a lot of time at Camp Jejune. He died of ALS, another neurodegenerative condition, and he got care for it through the VA as the marines thought it was a service-related condition.
> If I already know TCE is dangerous and need to be avoided I might not need to read the article or I could if I need further information.

But, you don't know that, right? How many people would? 1% has to be a vast overestimate. What exactly are we optimizing for, saving a tiny minority from having to click once and read a single sentence?

It seems like "clickbait" has morphed into "any headline that does not make its associated article completely redundant".
RTO, meet WADU
And in Tipp-ex/liquid paper/white out. The smell was quite interesting. They switched to a replacement solvent that wasn't nearly as good.
For all the crazy things the US does foreign policy wise, I really wish they would just annex the Galápagos Islands, by threat of force if necessary. They are really important to preserve as a physical reference piece for Darwin’s work.

And yes, obviously the force can’t be directed at the islands as that would defeat the point. I’m picturing the Navy surrounding it by surprise and announcing the annexation.
LOTR wishes it was the density of AoE.

I use AoE as a reference, but I’ve read full chapters from time to time when I’ve worked on relevant projects. I’ve never done an end to end read. Maybe I will when I retire lol.

I want to set aside time to read chapter 5 at some point. The precision electronics chapter is supposed to be bomb. Culminates in a design review of the autoranging circuit of one of the common handheld DMMs.
Curious, why wouldn't you rather them buy you (or issue you) a work laptop and you get a personal laptop? Just don't use work hardware for not work things. (Unless you don't make enough to buy a personal laptop I guess, but of the jobs where they issue you hardware I bet they probably pay you enough to buy your own.)
I'd like to see text-to-speech applicable to iBooks so you can have whole chapters read to you. Not as good as an audio book, but better than nothing.
Normally because history shows us that redress via the court systems is rarely punitive to a company the size of Microsoft, further Microsoft has a long history of lying to its customers with seemingly no impact on its business.
I will try thanks

Context and scale matter. Drawing a picture of a dollar bill is not illegal, but forgery is. It's not illegal to call someone, or to ask them a question, or to follow someone. It IS illegal to stalk someone.
iirc there was talk about an interplanetary internet a while back and i think Cerf was involved. Can't remember when or where nor did I RTFA. so.. take this for what it's worth :)
Agreed. I also think it sort of makes my point. Afaik the .Net ecosystem started getting significantly more traction once they started opensourcing it and giving control to more open bodies.

I don't know why you would bring up SAP though. I've dealt with SAP deployments in the past its usually the type of the project where you have to integrate through some arcane protocol due to reasons(TM) and the end results resembles less a live connection and more a sneakernet

EU states approve first comprehensive crypto rules
The main issue I see older people have with iPhones is unrelated to ui complexity. iOS’ worst parts are services/updates where the user is frequently asked for Apple ID passwords and shown confusing ads for Apple services like iCloud Photo Library that end up making photos more complicated to use as some pictures are now unavailable without internet. More parts of the iOS experience are getting unnecessarily tangled with server side services that require unpredictable prompts to get acceptance to terms and conditions, logins, and traps that make you set up two factor auth or buy an unnecessary subscription.
Even in the last 10 years, new car prices have skewed higher. It’s not as if there are _zero_ cheap cars left, but the field is heavily narrowed. We almost had a cheap pickup truck, but 1) it’s got a 4.5’ bed, and 2) no one can actually buy one.

WRT to simplicity, I hear you. Given modern regulations and cost margins it may not be possible to see a simple, basic car or truck ever again. I’m not suggesting this is the manufacturer’s fault, but simply that they’re not offering anything I want to buy.

Whole coffee has a well established safety record for long term use. Pure caffeine at the doses coffee drinkers use, less so. There might be other unidentified chemicals in whole coffee that interact with the caffeine in some way to modify its safety.
This is great, though they should really fix accessibility basics: keyboard control in App Store etc. I contacted Apple Support about keyboard control of the Look Around feature in Maps, not sure they even understood the request. Directed me to an unsolicited ideas disclaimer.
Probably start a community garden. Be careful though, some cities hate their citizens being able to grow their own food
I have some contacts, mostly past colleagues, that are most easily reached via LinkedIn messages. And occasionally I have someone get in touch with me that way, although my contact info is easy to find so I doubt I'd miss anything inbound it I didn't have it. And sometimes for business reasons I like to look at the cv of someone I'm going to be talking with.

The actual quality of the "discourse" on there is horrible and it would be better off if it wasn't there.
What is the actual requirement?
I made it to the round of 8 in Namco's TTT1 world tournament. This is all absolutely true - you must travel and play against the best to improve further once you reach a peak. And you have to play a ridiculous amount to keep your skills up. I recall playing with friends starting friday night after work at 5pm and not stopping until late Sunday afternoon, nearly 48 hours straight with no sleep! Dedication...

Seeing Arslan win EVO was such a great underdog story. His play style was different than most - not the most flash but incredibly strong fundamentals. He could have done well with any character.
And how many of those companies were materially impacted or had more than a couple quarters of negative consumer backlash?

None.... so the grandparents comment is with out evidence that either consumers or regulators hold companies to account
I think a lot of it comes from the Spring framework. People saw those gigantic stack traces with all the crazy abstractions and huge names, and took it as the norm.

It doesn’t have to be that way (see also Guice).

But the Uncle Bob effect is sadly real.
Scientists have heard that correlation is not causation too.

From the paper (https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamaneurology/fullarticle/2...):

> To control for potential confounding, we included age, sex, race (Black, White, other), and ethnicity (Hispanic, non-Hispanic) in all models. We also tested models that included rank (officer, enlisted) and smoking status (ever, never), though smoking status was unknown for a substantial proportion of the cohort. We repeated analyses in subgroups defined by sex and by race and ethnicity. We conducted several analyses to explore possible biased ascertainment of PD in Camp Lejeune veterans due to potential awareness of the contamination and presumptive service connection that entitles them to VA benefits.

…

> We additionally tested associations in men and women separately and conducted sensitivity analyses that adjusted for total number of years of VHA health care usage.

These analyses were evidently deemed adequate by peer reviewers. If anyone thinks there are other confounding factors they can go ahead and do that analysis and publish as well. Sciencing continues.
I really don't want compliance needing to see my personal laptop at 11pm versus just giving them my work machine.
Firstly compliments to Apple for all these incredible accessibility features.

I think there is an important little nod to the future in this announcement. "Personal Voice" is training (likely fine tuning) and then running a local AI model to generate the user's voice. This is a sneak peak of the future of Apple.

They are in the unique position to enable local AI tools, such as assistance or text generation, without the difficulties and privacy concerns with the cloud. Apple silicone is primed for local AI models with its GPU, Neural Cores and the unified memory architecture.

I suspect that Apple is about to surprise everyone with what they do next. I'm very excited to see where they go with the M3, and what they release for both users and developers looking to harness the progress made in AI but locally.

Hinton said that the ability to explain a joke was among the first things that made him reassess their capabilities. Not the only thing. You make it sound as though Hinton is obviously clueless yet there are few people with deeper knowledge and more experience working with neural networks. People told him he was crazy for thinking neural networks could do anything useful, now it seems people are calling his crazy for the reverse. I’m genuinely confused about this.
To be fair, it was accidentally created and so its water was intentionally cut off, causing the current ecological mess - which by the way also applies to other dried salt lakes too.
> This is in production right now as far as I know and adds very little latency.

You're not running 20 different tracks with compression, reverb, chorus, delay + send/return tracks + sub mixes in your app. Your app has absolutely nothing to do with a DAW. You're not taking MIDI input or running virtual instruments either. Try to do that in a browser with a latency < 10ms like Cubase or Logic and see how it goes.

Again, your product has absolutely nothing to do with a DAW and its constraints, so don't try to claim it's an achievement of some sort.
Convoy: Publish your webhooks to multiple endpoints
I tried Linked in for maybe two weeks, figured out it didn't work for me, and never went back. That was something like 17 years ago.

But I still have an account. I literally can't delete it, since I don't remember the account name or the password.
Go on Google Scholar and read through the research on Metformin. Metformin has a complex mechanism of action, acting is as a Mitochondrial Complex 1 inhibitor in some cases but not others. But the consensus seems to be that it reduces cancer risk by about 30%, relating to its capacity as a Mitochondrial Complex 1 inhibitor.

Also, if watch Jerry McLaughlin's YouTube talks about pawpaws and cancer, he summarizes the research that mainly focuses on the mechanisms of action of annonaceous acetogenins in fighting cancer -- these are also Mitochondrial Complex 1 inhbitors, similar to Metformin but much stronger.

Basically these chemicals cause a buildup of radical oxides in your mitochondria, which reduce their efficiency. If your mitochondria have too many radical oxides, or have them for two long, then your mitochondria will die. And if enough mitochondria in any given cell die, their host cells will also obviously die. This is what causes progressive supranuclear palsy, which is what this article is probably (incorrectly) referring to as Parkinson's.

But because the metabolic needs of cancer cells are higher than the metabolic needs of non-cancer cells, there may be a certain dose of these chemicals that is high enough to inhibit cancer but low enough that it doesn't cause palsy. Further, the way that cancer cells often develop resistance to chemotherapy drugs is by using ATP to pump out the drugs once they have entered the cells. These mitochondrial complex 1 inhibitors can prevent these protein pumps from working by making the mitochondria less efficient, and therefor effectively prevent cancer cells from developing certain types of resistance to chemotherapy drugs.

Basically if you go through Google Scholar and read the research on pawpaws, rotenone, graviola, and Metformin, it's all more or less the same stuff. John Clifton's book Your Fourth Choice is also a fun book you can get on Amazon and read in an hour or two. It does a good job summarizing the academic research on annonaceous acetogenins. (I bought it because I collect books on North American Pawpaws, not because I was in the market for an experimental cancer treatment.)
I'm very curious about SWP. How does it taste compared to good light roasted single origins?
Ah yes, more guidance from Europe about getting rid of farms to save birds and stuff.

Let's do that, and instead get rid of people. Cut exports, that's what everyone wants, right?
Ask HN: Is YC becoming less of a home for hackers and more for MBA-types?
Anecdotally, I’ve noticed a large uptick in MBA-types who are expressing interest and being admitted into YC. It feels as if YC is becoming yet another prestigious line-item that status-chasers are using to stack their resume. Have you noticed similarly?
Microsoft is not training their code autocomplete on parts of GPL/MIT/etc code that is not covered by copyright. They are training it on all of the codebase.
I have been writing a journal for about 6 years now. I usually write 3 entries a week spanning from a few sentences to hundreds of words.

Personally, I feel there are many benefits to it, mainly:

1. It gives me time to think, to process my thoughts, explore ideas, and handle emotions. I often learn a lot about myself, what I did well, and how I can improve.

2. It is a great way to preserve memories. Only after I started writing my journal did I realize how much I forget about my past. I've always taken photos throughout my life, but those only capture a very small part of my life. My worries, the music I listened to, the TV-series I raved about, my dreams, my thoughts on the books I've read, the deep talks with my friends, are all preserved in my journal. It is easy to remember your vacations to exotic locations, but do you remember your everyday life from years back?

3. It can be meditative. It feels great to be able to sit for up to an hour and write without any barriers. I don't have to stress about my writing style, the words I use, embarrassing stuff about myself. I truly feel I can express myself to the fullest.

I'm really happy that I decided to write my journal in Markdown. This format can be opened pretty much everywhere, even on my phone or my moms computer. Furthermore, it enables me to do some crude formatting for code, create headings, and even attach images. And since it is digital, I can search in it pretty easily.
I too was skeptical of the original post without any references. However, your post also did not provide references.

Wiki isn't great, but here is what I found: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichloroethylene

Fetal toxicity and concerns for carcinogenic potential of TCE led to its abandonment in developed countries by the 1980s.

The use of trichloroethylene in the food and pharmaceutical industries has been banned in much of the world since the 1970s due to concerns about its toxicity.

However, I can still find some pages about "TCE Vapor Degreasing", so it is still in use today: https://www.epa.gov/assessing-and-managing-chemicals-under-t...

The saddest one I found: https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/causes-prevention/risk/s...

Historically, TCE was used as a surgical anesthetic and inhaled analgesic. The Food and Drug Administration banned such use in the United States in 1977.

Woah.
I love go, but still, one of those things is not like the others.
> The desktop computer I've been using since 2015 doesn't have a TPM

Yeah but it's from 2015. Windows 11 is from, like, 2021. That's over 6 years before the OS started asking for something you don't have. I think this is why people cry laziness, because it does legitimately sound that way from an outside perspective.
Started journal-ling in 10th class, ended after graduating college.

I think it depends on how and why you journal. I used to write a page in a notebook whenever I felt like writing. In my case don't think it has improved my life in a very tangible way, however it is interesting to look into a journal entry 5 years ago and see how different I was. So while it was not tangible self-improvement, it was very emotional and revelatory, both good and bad. However, I barely read that journal anymore, I will probably read it once a year maybe.

Perhaps if you are more specific with your goals it could help. These days I just use a daily habit tracker where I tick if I performed an action towards my goal for the day. Other than that, I write my thoughts on an online blog just to release the cognitive load. But that's intermittent. There are so many things that fall under "good habits" but we need to choose carefully what we want to spend our time on based on the reward/effort ratio. I have 2-3 max habits that I focus on completing daily at any given phase in my life. I may pick up journal-ling maybe when rest of my higher priority habits are more deeply ingrained / their goals achieved.
Experiments in Making Cocktail Ice
Thank you for your question!

Firstly, unlike AWS, GCP, or Azure, there are no restrictions on the number of GPUs you can deploy with us. As long as you have sufficient account balance, you can deploy hundreds of GPUs simultaneously.

In terms of availability, we maintain a diverse range of resources from various vendors in our on-demand stock. While we have our own infrastructure, we also leverage infrastructure from other vendors to meet the growing demand.

Currently, we have more than 3000 GPUs in stock, with over 2600 of them available for deployment. You can find more detailed information on our availability page at https://oblivus.com/availability/.

I hope this helps!
How do you organize them? Digital or analog? Separate? Do you use special workout log? Thx
Just yesterday I started using a new maxed out Mac mini and everything about it is snappy. I have no doubt that it is ready for enormous amount of background processing. Heavy background work is the only way to use the processing power in that little computer.
