>> Brittany Gould testified that in 2014 she took a Theranos blood test at a Walgreens store in Arizona to measure a pregnancy hormone after learning that was expecting a baby, CNBC reports. After reviewing the results, Gould shared during the trial, "[My nurse practitioner] told me your numbers are falling, unfortunately, and that I was miscarrying." Because of those results, she switched her medication to something potentially harmful to the fetus. However, Gould took two more tests administered by Quest Diagnostics that confirmed she was still pregnant. She eventually delivered a healthy baby.[1]

No depositors lost money. And like, yeah, Treasuries go up and down in price; it's dumb our regulations pretended otherwise. Particularly given the problem was fixed by Basel III.

> assets and crypto is needed to hedge the potential incoming USD destruction

This is gold buggery. Which means gold does a fine enough job.

> don't buy the "Crypto is a complete scam" argument at all

I don't, at least not with certainty. But there is certainty around the prevalence of fraud. That needs to be regulated, which means crypto needs to be taxed to pay for that regulation. Gold bugs are a famously-profitable client group for finance; crypto is the same. Let's put them on the same level.

@dang

Are you allowed to write that Democrat Party threatened to Blow up Target ?

I am sure that will be downvoted into oblivion.

But that threat does come from a Democrat Party voter right ?

HN has an inherent bias against India and Indians.
Just open any of the H1B related posts and you will see how open minded the liberal tech worker of USA is about India and Indians.
Of course, they are all for immigration just the H1B brings up debate about 'Quality of Work'. Hypocrites.

I think the American Narrow Minded view of the World is due to they growing up in a 2 party system that only looks at things as Black and White ( Not the race ), as Right and Wrong ( that's better ).

They are basically fed what they are supposed to think by CNNs, NYTs, Guardians etc etc

Like Uncle Soros they believe they understand India better than Indians.
Uncle Soros wants to bring 'Democracy' to World's largest Democracy, because 1 Billion Indians don't know what they should vote for - They need a White Man to tell them that. .

In their own Country they created False Accusations against their President - Published in all 'respected' mainstream Newspapers.

United States of Gaslighting is where they are at.

Let's see if @dang is open minded enough to do something about the title after 400 upvotes are already made.
Right. Altman didn't sign the AI pause though.

It is clear in the congressional hearings, but people didn't watch them, they seem to have skimmed article titles and made up their own narrative.

EDIT:

Which, to my point, means that "these companies" are not calling for "competitive upstarts" to be regulated. They are calling for future very large models, which they themselves are currently the most likely to train due to the enormous computational cost, to be regulated. Which is completely contradictory to what you were saying.

I believe OOP is generally overused (no, you don’t need a zero-member class to provide related functions; static class members are a code smell; etc.), but I don’t follow what you’re saying. From my perspective as someone who is just learning React recently but has a decade’s experience in C, C++, and Rust, the programming model doesn’t make any sense to me. The functional paradigm used by React has the same fatal flaw as OOP does: rather than making state management simpler, it attempts to hide it (OOP hides by “private” variables, React chooses to hide it in “hooks”). Both seem absurdly complicated to me. There’s no need for classes with trivial setX() methods, and there’s no need for hooks either, to perform what is essentially a variable assignment. They make the code more complicated to read and write, and increase cognitive load, IMO.

A component that has some state associated with it, such that manipulating that state causes certain side effects, seems almost custom-fit for OOP. The functional style does not seem to fit the domain.
What I believe is irrelevant, and please don't be condescending. I've done science for most of my life and had the word "scientist" in my job title for a good part of it.

The article talks about "climate change" since the 1960's, but it's obviously lumping in cooling and warming without distinction, which is misleading.

By limiting your engagement, you are slamming the door on debate and discussion, which is the same game that all climate change alarmists play. Science is never about consensus, it's about a cycle of theory, experiments (where possible), and analysis.

Galileo and Einstein were both victims of consensus.
Youtrack is great but complicated with it's UX. Code level extensibility with Project management tools is near zero. We are working on our extensibility framework called Propel, it gives you the ability to write code with React to extend Plane. Open-sourcing in Q3 2023.

This is really cool. If you fixed the image upload, removed the 25 character requirement (less would be fine), and made the link customisable in the site, I think you could have a really neat product/business. I'd definitely send it to my startup's founder, we're already using QR codes and these would be way nicer than a plain one.
I personally don’t need her to “increase our viewership”. Or even post it publicly. Could have a private discussion. Like I had with Ben Shapiro for example, about his “Jews in Name Only” thing. Or with Warren Mosler.

As I said, I care about substance. The people who publicly espouse one view day in and day out are some of the best people to discuss with.

It’s sad that you think everything is about grift. It’s like how many Russians cynically think everything US does has no goodwill behind it and must be about power politics and screwing others. Certainly a lot of it is, but I guess it is easier to assume that all the time when you have a cynical view.

By the way if you think Molly White would give me clout then I am a little bit surprised. I had no idea she was that famous or well-known.

Richard Heart got us the most views of any video on our channel. And so what?

I played around with Plane locally a little bit about a month ago - I think it's really promising! I wish the documentation was a little better, though; I had to dig around through the source code to figure out how to get the OpenAI/GPT-powered features to work locally. I also wish it supported the gpt-3.5-turbo model instead of relying on the InstructGPT models (like text-davinci-003) for those features (while this isn't exactly a "chat" use-case, I think the chat model would still do a good job, and the 1/10 token cost would be nice).

I'm planning to set up a Plane instance for my friend group as soon as it supports OpenID Connect (SAML would work as well, but I imagine OIDC is coming first, since it's a lot more sane). We have some small projects we maintain, and we desperately need a nice issue tracking tool like this.

A friend from high school’s parents were vehemently, angrily, argue-with-kids-in-the-car in denial of climate change and 15 years later they have moved to the border of Canada because the winters in southern new england aren’t the same anymore and the summers are even more uncomfortably hot and humid.

Per my friend, they are still positive that climate change is a big hoax and have a list of confabulated explanations for why that’s as long as ever. (I remember one frequent highlight being that you can’t trust historic temperature readings, because the scientists just “changed how they read the temperature,” because they “want more funding”. It always came back to the duplicitous capture of “funding.”)

It just seems like a completely different view of the world at its fundamentals.
I would argue that these services have very different purposes.

Video games are meant to be virtual games, social media is for connecting people (looking at it optimistically).

Don't you think social media has more openings for bad actors, or at least more apparent openings? I think these fears are valid based on that.
I agree that it's the common default, but assuming by default that the system is working isn't the act of a responsible engineer, or citizen.
Alternative title: "Sam Altman & Friends want More Money".

They want all the opportunity for themselves, and none for us. Control. Control of business, and control of your ability to engage in it.

The signatories on this list are Anthropic investors.

First Altman robs us all of a charity that was supposed to benefit us, and now he wants to rob us all of opportunity as well? It's wrong and should be fought against.

What does shutting it off do? As far as I understand, they can still require a search. I had it happen once when entering Canada, they said if I didn't consent to the search they would confiscate my laptop. I let them search it, and obviously they didn't find anything incriminating, but it felt so violating watching them go through all my personal photos.
I think you’re misunderstanding my point.

I never said “they should have disclosed a conflict they did not disclose.”

Disclosures are absent from this initiative, some signatories have self-identified their affiliation by their own volition and even for those it is not in the context of a conflict disclosure.

There is no “signatories have no relevant disclosures” statement for those who did not for the omission to be malfeasance and pointing out the absence of a disclosure statement is not accusatory of the individuals, rather that the initiative is not transparent about potential conflicts.

Once again, it is standard practice in academia to make a disclosure statement if lecturing or publishing. While it is not mandatory for initiatives calling for regulation it would be nice to have.

At our previous project we were trying to implement our own sagas and I remember that compensating actions are the hardest to get right. For example, we had a saga which added participants to a meeting as one of the steps. If the saga failed, we had to remove participants from the meeting. The module/service which implemented meetings was independent/self-contained and had no knowledge of sagas or anything. So while a participant could be added by that particular saga, they could also be added by other means, because there were other entrypoints to the meetings service. So a failing distributed saga undoing its actions could remove a participant who was to be added to the meeting outside of the saga. I don't remember if we ever solved it, and what is the proper way to deal with it. Basically, a distributed saga can introduce what looks like strange side effects to other workflows running in parallel, especially if the service is designed to be self-contained without knowledge of sagas (so participation is not marked as "added via saga, can be deleted any time due to compensating actions"). Maybe add some sort of reference counting, but then again we add knowledge about sagas to the service, which is not always possible. Another issue is notifications, you send your user an email "hey, you were added to this meeting", they follow the link, and it says "access denied", because a saga rolled it back.
That would be a good place to start. Node.js is the defacto standard for JS based tooling, along with npm (node package manager) as a public module repository. There has been some evolution in the space.

If starting a project, I'd probably start with Parcel.js [1] and from there use typescript/tsx instead of JS as a core. But that's just me. I also tend to do Redux the "hard way" closer to the original structure instead of redux-toolkit, as I find it's more overhead to learn initially but avoids a lot of additional complexity over time.

The pantomimes exist because there is always some doubt. People think they can use the potential crisis to insist on getting their way. "Give me what I want or I will cut off my nose to spite everybody's face."

It hasn't passed yet, and there's still some people making that threat. Odds are they won't be successful, but those "odds" are doubt.
I find those example quite encouraging, actually. In that it shows that the current SOA is still pretty far off from creating a planet-killing and/or species-ending AI.

That sounds a bit like an overreading into technicalities.

It makes sense for border control to exist to _some_ degree. That means that property and potentially people will need to be searched. It also makes sense for border entry points to not exist at the moving shore of a nation or in the actual air.

That means that an administrative concept should exist where people on one side of a line are considered to be have been granted entry and people on the other side aren't -- even if both sides of the line are within a nation's territory.

That administrative concept can be (but can also not be) compatible with both the goals of human rights and with the goals of nation states. And at the end of the day, laws should be more focused on achieving goals than fiddling with nitpicking.
Cool, your implementation reminds me of this article I read recently:

Just a general note: this isn't always the pattern the magic of capitalism gives us. There are as many examples of the reverse of that as supporting it.

As a quick example: toasters. The magic of capitalism has made sure that actually good toasters no longer exist in the consumer market.

In meat & dairy it's concentrated, at much higher levels.

https://nutritionfacts.org/topics/pesticides/

"While some plant foods may be contaminated, animal food intake is the biggest source of certain pesticide exposure for both adults and children. Pesticides, as well as antibiotics, manure, pus cells, cholesterol, and saturated fat have all been found in milk. Factory farmed fish have higher levels of DDT and other banned pesticides than wild-caught fish, and even fish oil supplements may be contaminated with PCBs and insecticides. Many pesticides take a long time to degrade – the U.S. made arsenic-based pesticides illegal years ago, but they still persist in the soil. Similarly, though DDT was banned in the U.S. for agricultural use in 1972, people may still be exposed to the pesticide through contaminated dairy products and meat."

"Overall, those eating plant-based diets have been found to have a lower levels of pesticides than omnivores. Rinsing produce in a salt water solution may be an effective way to reduce pesticide residues on produce."
"Passion" as a career development meme is designed to extract more work for the same pay.

It's one thing if passion is a requirement for success. In software development, the bar is so low that while passion may be of huge benefit, it's by no means a strong predictor of career success. If you enjoy coding just enough that you get your job done adequately every day and don't feel burned out, that's perfectly fine.

When recruiters are looking for "passionate" developers, that means they want you going above and beyond in order to guarantee they get their cut after N-months with your company. That doesn't mean you actually need to live and breathe code.

Moreover, I hope nobody after age 29 actually lives and breathes code, even if they really like programming. There's a lot more to life than software. Work at a sustainable pace, maybe do a few unambitious hobby projects, and spend the rest of your time doing things with people who matter. A lot of those high-passion types are overly intellectual douchebag types who slow down the development process because someone didn't use their preferred design pattern. Do you really want to be one of them?

The truth is that they are only one of a hundred companies working on this problem. Most will fail. Some will be ok. And some may even surpass OpenAI. OpenAI is extremely worried about this and so they want laws to be written while they're still ahead which will give them an advantage because they get to make the rules.
I agree it won’t help bad faith debaters. But it’s interesting the bad faith people prefer “climate change”.
There is no two-way data binding in use here, so you're wrong.

The style used is MVC. Do you think MVC is not suitable for multi-person teams? If so how do you explain MVC in Cocoa, ASP.NET Core, JSP and JSF, Ruby on Rails, and Django (Python)? They are all based on MVC.

In all my jobs, I could not tell the difference between the "passionate" devs and the "9-5" devs. Both produced quality work (when they were quality people). Best dev I've worked with went home at 5 without his laptop and didn't keep up with any news unless it would solve a problem we had a work.

There's nothing wrong with side projects, being passionate about development, blogging, etc. but it should never mean that person is a quality engineer.
True as such, but remember that universal passports have been around for barely more than a century. In previous eras entry to a country was not considered important government business other than during wartime. That all changed in 1920.

Usually the first thing a Judge's clerk will do before a judge reads a brief is pull all of the authority cited for the judge to have ready-to-review along side the brief itself (if not analyzed, highlighted, summarized, etc. etc. depending on the judge).

Now, whether the judge actually reads them is debatable (I had my doubts sometimes). But you bet your ass that if the Clerk simply cannot find a case, the Judge will be informed of that.

YMMV in State courts, which can be all over the place in terms of professionalism. But you should at least assume your opponent is going to read your cases because the easiest way to beat someone in court is to point out the law you rely on is bad.

Personally, I really like that masked emails are hidden by default. I've got 20 "real" sending identities, so when I'm searching I want a quick selection that doesn't include dozens of masked results. The amount of times I start a new email thread with a masked email would probably be a small handful of times per year.

Edit:

Maybe that's a bug you can report for your browser? I don't need to retype anything and just hit enter when I get no results, then it expands the results to include masked items.
