Mainstream media has "owners" who "fire" editors when they don't like the stories being written. Journalist pitch stories at those editors. See Rupert Murdoch and the Times of London, The News of the World, The Sun, The New York Post, The Wall Street Journal and Fox News. For example, note how many times Tony Blair and separately Gordon Brown sought audiences with Rupert Murdoch.

You subscribe to the NYT or WSJ you use whatever payment gateway they set up and you read content using whatever CMS they employ.

You don't subscribe to substack it isn't possible.

You subscribe to say Racket (which is Taibbi) or separately Shellenberger and use whatever payment gateway they each seperatly set up and you read content using whatever CMS they employ. Substack is a service provider and one they can easily leave as Glenn Greenwald has in the shift of his news service to locals and rumble.

So with this information you can start making better arguments.

They let participants solve the knapsack problem under the influence of common ADHD meds like ritalin, dexamphetamine, modafinil.

Interesting results were observed. Participants who performed below average while on placebo tended to improve on the task when on one of the drugs. Those that performed above average tended to have decreased performance on the task.
Yeah but the article claims they just have a flap without any support, so no improved safety. Having actual sideguards adds weight independent of the aerodynamic issue.
You'll need to confiscate every high end graphics card too while you're at it, to stop the baddies.
I understand where you are coming from but I feel AI fundamentally differs from nuclear power in how accessible it is. Right now, most of the large models are kept from the public purely via a monetary gate - if you can afford GPUs to train these models, you have replicated the power that someone else has. In case of nukes, the ability to process and manufacture them put a physical barrier, which can be enforced by means of sanctions / preventing access to mining etc.

All of it. It's a brain dump of where you are when you did the thing. Three years from now, you're going to want it to figure out what you're thinking when you wrote that bit of code. Future you is going to appreciate it. And then add in doing that for other people that come across your code as well.
It's harder to form a tree with key value. I also tried the relational route. But it would always messup the cardinality (one person should have 0 or n friends, but a person has a single birth date).
A disclaimer should be implied for everything on the internet by default.

If someone wants to take some random anecdote from some random guy on the internet as legal advice that isn’t really my fault or problem - I’m not prefacing everything I write with an arguably useless disclaimer to account for such an absurd scenario.
Digesting for another's consumption is a little too "professor centipede" for me.

I may agree with the idea, but it is pure fiction. Instead of begging companies to be nice, we should figure out how to change our entire software paradigm so it becomes impossible.
There's also the camp that noticed that everything the pro-nuclear propagandists say about the supposed upsides is either paltering or an outright lie, and they constantly resort to slimy rhetorical tricks like saying:

> Those who oppose nuclear power fall in two camps: people who honestly believe there is something insurmountable about nuclear technology, and antihumanists, who think humanity as a whole is bad, and the planet would be much better if we were fewer, the fewer the better (see for example Club of Rome [1]).

rather than engaging with reality.
Strictly speaking, the Java Memory Model derives from the data-race-free model of the early '90s. Java was the first programming language to explicitly incorporate it as part of the specification, but the main derivation actually comes from the C++ memory model, which built into it the basic atomic memory model that most derivatives rely on--Java doesn't have the weaker atomics support that C++ added, just sequentially-consistent. Java also introduced some frankly confusing (and incorrect, per my understanding) semantics for what happens in the face of data races that everybody else just shrugged and said "let's make it be UB and call it a day."
Used 1080 ti's are going for less then $200 right now and can do solid 1080p gaming and light 1440p gaming, if you don't care about raytracing and DLSS and etc.

If you do care about those things, then you can pay for them by buying a 3000 or 4000 series card. They're a bit more expensive.
I didn't say 1% of all email users are not gmail users. I said 1% know about its federated nature. Even if email allows for different email domains and there are entire departments are dedicated to manage domain emails, I thoroughly doubt even these people would even understand that this is what makes email "federated" or even call it that

gmail isn't a monopoly because of how they handle email. gmail is a monopoly because the common user doesn't know the difference most of the time
> The article tries to make it a big conspiracy by Big Truck, that bothered me.

I mean, one of the people who sued uncovered evidence of a literal conspiracy to hide safety-related data, so I'm not sure why the article's framing should bother you.

> Cars also could have stronger A pillars, that way the burden of compliance is placed on the one at higher risk.

That's not a completely unreasonable take, but my position is that the thing that causes the damage -- the trailer -- should be required to be made less lethal.

It's also unclear that A pillars can be made strong enough to survive those situations anyway. And even if they can, the car's crumple zones (which absorb kinetic energy) won't end up getting "used" in this type of crash, so the A pillar will take all the force, stop the car way faster than an impact on crumple zones would, and throw the driver forward much harder than in other types of crashes, possibly still fatally.
Someone should implement an editor for Apple's Vision Pro that moves the cursor using eye tracking.
I disagree. The market ready for disruption was the CPU market stagnated by Intel. It was also the perfect opportunity to put the limited financial resources behind to come out with a viable product to compete that didn't need a ton of software ecosystem to work. Datacenters, gamers, Cloud hyperscalers, Supercomputers, they all needed something to replace their aging and inefficient Intel Skylake Xeons and Core CPUs. And their chiplet tech made it possible to make this CPU product span the entire portfolio for cheap.

If they decided to compete with GPU, they would have just lost in gaming GPU sales to NVIDIA due to mindshare and they wouldn't have had the resources to develop the software to compete. And datacenter GPUs were still a niche and rare product.

AI/ML was not realistically something they could predict or bet the house on 7 years ago. And just like Lisa said in the recent presentation, AI is in its early stages and will be a growing and long term business venture.

Additionally, their CPU chiplet developments were critical in producing the talent and experience that would translate to GPU chiplets that AMD is not utilizing on RDNA 3 and CDNA 3, providing a strategic advantage over NVIDIA.

They still have the time to enter it with their MI300s AND now they have the money and resources to develop their software ecosystems more.

AMD absolutely made the right move to focus on Zen and HPC. It's not their fault that investors are blindly overhyped about AI.

AMD's greatest threat in datacenter AI hardware isn't even NVIDIA. It's the biggest tech companies producing their own AI hardware (Google, Meta, Tesla, Amazon) effectively and eventually eliminating the need for AMD or NVIDIA GPU/AI hardware.

I don't see this having been done (and HTS isn't exactly a heavy lift these days, even in Italy). Seems likely they did it, didn't confirm these preliminary results, and didn't publish because it's not interesting.

The SEC wants to claim all of crypto and the world! Surely there's a Simpsons reference in this?
Imagine a market with three currencies/commodities: A, B, C.

One A trades for 10 B, one B trades for 10 C, but somehow one A trades for only 50 C when exchanged directly.

There's a clear arbitrage opportunity here: Sell one A for 10 B, sell the 10 B for 100 C, and finally go to the person willing to give you an A for 50 C – and buy two. You started out with one A and ended up with two. This is great! Now repeat that until the arbitrage opportunity disappears and get rich in the process.

Now here's the question/idea: If you can do these three trades atomically, why do you need a single A to being with?

This is what "flash loans" (or any equivalent system involving multilateral netting) allow.

Coincidentally, I just published this JS library[1] over the weekend that helps prompt LLMs to return typed JSON data and validates it for you. Would love feedback on it if this is something people here are interested in. Haven’t played around with the new API yet but I think this is super exciting stuff!

So far it seems that AI just as likely to make stuff up as it is to provide solid reliable knowledge. As long as that remains the case AI isn't going to make much progress because there's too much to lose when you can't be sure if the knowledge is bogus or not

It's a required extra even when another laptop keyboard exists

Its awful unergonomic design, both on the hardware size and on the input side (especially for symbols the op mentions)

So if you already must carry a special box, why not use a much better one that fixes both of these flaws?

Of course, you can actually tell ChatGPT to change its style and mannerisms. Here's an example when I was experimenting with this. It went a bit over the top in the other direction, but only because I was so explicit about asking to to be casual.

Having too many concerns involved with a piece of code is the problem. AOC doesn’t fix that, it makes it more likely to happen.

In the time since AOP, a lot more API designs have sprouted support for closures. That’s “around” semantics and the degenerate cases of around are before and after, which covers most of the space. Async/await fills in some of the remaining gaps.
Sure, but removing that heat to the outside still takes the same amount of energy. Unless they just pour the water down the drain it has to be transferred somewhere, no?
You are missing MY point. If you put front and center how your social media is "federated" and then add friction in the signup process by asking them to "pick a server" then it's DOA for anyone except most tech users

From what I've seen, they've significantly changed their signup process to push unauthenticated users to a default feed and to create an account by default on their largest instance which is a massive win for getting new accounts. This is a good change

You may have read my use of the term manipulate as cynical. In fact I meant it neutrally - that is, exchanges manipulate (or, "enable actions upon") money in the same way that computer applications manipulate data. Nothing inherently good or bad about it. Totally dependent upon the parameters.

I don't think this story "Crypto bot borrows $200M to make $3" is particularly salacious, simply because even in it's seeming extreme, it's still a fairly mundane matter of shifting figures around.

And matters of risk or custody are their own areas, for which each individual may take their own responsibility.
I love the typeface. So 80s computer font.
The victim driver's responsibility is irrelevant. We know that, regardless of education or licensing requirements, people will screw up sometimes when they drive. We can either just throw up our hands and accept the already-ridiculously-high death toll, or we can require that our vehicles are safer and do more to protect people. Personally I'm in favor of the latter, and don't particularly care who is at fault in these kinds of crashes.

(And in this case we don't have enough information to know if the driver could have reasonably avoided the crash, anyway.)
I am a US-based professional who moved from EU department of same firm. I was told by tenured employees that in order to switch teams internally, one should keep the plan a secret before getting verbal confirmation from next team's hiring manager. However, my next hiring manager told that he would collect feedback from current manager and I thought that he will ask if I was on some firing plan (which makes me ineligible to switch). But my current manager gave negative feedback and the next manager decided not to take me. After all this, my current manager decided to fire me due to 'poor performance'(in his words). Later I came to know that every manager (in US division) has a fixed firing quota/stack ranking and they generally fire employees who are unable to hide their plan about switching team.

Why did my mentors and tenured employees not inform me about this firing quota earlier when I asked them? How should a new employee know such things in a short time?
Interesting, I wonder if we're seeing an underlying Pareto distribution of "Redditors who engage with the community, moderate, or otherwise produce content" vs. the ~80% who just vote or lurk and nothing more.
It mentioned that the harmonic stacks arise from the restriction that the blocks should be stacked in one-on-one fashion. A related restriction might be that the blocks must be stacked one-by-one, i.e. each additional block must maintain balanced state.

I think trying to reproduce some of the diagrams with physical blocks would be difficult unless multiple blocks are placed at the same time.
But also modal editing increases the number of such combinations. And most importantly modal editing decreases the number of modified keys (control, shift, alt, meta, two of those, ...). Your lack of carpal tunnel might thank vi and VIM, if a lack of something could be a conscious thing.

A decade or so ago Reddit used to be a great place with some very high quality communities that I'd visit often.

But as time went on a one or two of the communities I liked got banned and others were forced to tone down discussions. Although I have an interest in controversial communities though so this may not be a universal experience.

But what finally made me leave was that the quality of every community I like just kept dropping and at the same time I was receiving an increasing (and significant) number of hateful messages.

I guess I don't play the Reddit game very well. I generally aim to be controversial since I believe the most productive type of speech is speech that is both highly controversial and well reasoned. Agreeing may earn upvotes and social goodwill, but if all you ever do is agree with those around you using new words you may as well not contribute anything.

I think Reddit's incentivisation of agreeableness, it's clamp down on controversial subreddits and its popularity basically guarantees conversations on Reddit today are maximally unproductive. If someone has a new opinion they are downvoted, and if that opinion is also hard to refute downing is often paired with abuse.

I know this isn't really on topic – I have nothing interesting to say about their childish CEO or narrow-sighted push for monetisation. I guess I'm kinda just sad about what Reddit as become. I like HN because discussion here are rich – there's generally a wide and interesting range of views for any given topic. But HN is fundamentally limited since topics are generally tech / business related. And this is the gap I wish Reddit could have filled.

> the film, made on a modest budget, went on to earn $86 million, kicking off a franchise that has since brought in hundreds of millions more.

There's nothing natural about monogamy. Humans only practiced it after agriculture became widespread and the idea of land ownership became important. In tribal hunter-gatherer societies, children were raised by the tribe and not just their parents, and who the father was wasn't considered important.

depending on the kind of OS project, that may be more of a boon than a hinderance. There is always good talent put off by some factors in life, but there are always a lot more actors (some bad, some simply ignorant) that may make the project more of a strain than a collaborative effort.

I'll also emphasize that unless you are a part of an enormous hub without proper structure, the "chat flow" isn't as heavy as you'd expect at first blush. Its much more annoying to log on and read the day's messages, but the number of relevant messages may be in the dozens that take 10 minutes to skim, not thousands that takes a part time job to parse. But even then it makes sense; for those super large OS repos, there are in fact people doing it as part or full time jobs
I dont know if I went to the store and there was some “happy life” nonsense alibaba brand vs a trusted brand for twice as much I would probably get the good one. The reality is we never have the choice, its Amazon crapshoot or expensive brand at the store (that may not be any better). I will say Ikea always seems to last way better than Chinese brands.
It they give a shit about the environment, companies should have people commuting on foot or bike. This would require affordable housing in the cities somewhat proximate to the offices. This would make cities in the us look a bit more European rather than “roll up the streets at 5pm” like some east coast cities. The trick will be to figure out how to turn office buildings into living space without gobs of urban renewal.

Some cities have working useable public transit. But the car feeder system from suburbia undoes much of the gain. Sprawl isn’t climate aware and it takes a lot of time and money to commute. Money people don’t want to pay anymore and time they don’t want to give away for free.
If that's how you truly feel, please move out into the wilderness and completely cut yourself off from society. If you want to live in society, then you have to put up with the rest of us actually caring about making things safer for the average (or below-average) driver, not just you, the apparent perfect driver who will never end up in a car crash, ever, because of course you have perfect control over everything around you, including the actions of all the other drivers on the road.

Absolute rubbish.
Unintuitively unhealthy behavior actually saves on medical costs because the vast majority of medical care costs comes from old age related care, which unhealthy people are far less likely to reach. Both obeseity, and especially smoking, actually saves tons of money in healthcare because those people tend to die right around retirement age just before medical costs start skyrocketing. It has been researched quite significantly and at best/worst unhealthy people average out to the same cost as healthy people, but more often are shown to cost less.
