RE: Hippocratic AI, interesting Forbes piece about the founder out a day or two ago

One time we hired someone who interviewed extremely well. They were filling a compliance auditing role, but had credibly talked a lot about their experience as a security engineer in a Unix shop.

On their first day, I was helping them set up their laptop:

- You need to run `sudo X`

- types `X-but-misspelled`

- No, that's `sudo`, then `X`

- types `sudo_X-but-misspelled` (literally `sudo`-underscore-`misspelled version of X`)

- I mean, with a space after `sudo`, like using sudo to run X.

- types `sudo_X`

- Have you used sudo?

- Finally types `sudo X`.

I saved a screenshot of our zoom so I could show our mutual boss later. They ghosted us after a week.

Huh. A Unix security engineer who doesn't have sudo (or presumably doas) in muscle memory? Interesting.
Consider the contrary idea from Thomas Sowell: “ Unfortunately, the real minimum wage is always zero, regardless of the laws, and that is the wage that many workers receive in the wake of the creation or escalation of a government-mandated minimum wage, because they lose their jobs or fail to find jobs when they enter the labor force. Making it illegal to pay less than a given amount does not make a worker’s productivity worth that amount—and, if it is not, that worker is unlikely to be employed.”

How many workers would work for less than a living wage and are prevented from doing so by minimum wage laws and instead denied jobs?
In today's supported Node (works just fine in LTS) just "type": "module" in package.json (and learn "exports" for ESM only), never use anything but ESM, and everything mostly "just works" with no CommonJS in sight within your library (other than maybe .cjs config files for slower build/dev time tools like Jest).

Reddit can eat a bag of dicks.

I ran /r/conspiracy for more than a decade - and when I was setting policy to have that sub be a-political, and some other mods complaing about their pecking order in the mod list, I was restructuring the mod list at the request of mods, then an admin's alt account 'complained' (and this mod was the actual mod who requested the org change) and an admin cam in, ousted me, and put said account in charge.

That account is assuradly an admin alt account throwaway.
It's a great question I've wondered about as well.

I think we're going to find out soon.

Some countries are creating fairly strict regulation limiting AI, but others are laying out clear guidelines encouraging innovation.

Japan for example has ruled that copyright does not apply to AI training, so as I understand your idea could be carried out there.

I suspect the jurisdictions with the most innovation friendly approaches will attract talent and capital and wind up with the strongest models.
"Use a more performant serialization format" is hardly novel. It's why things like protobuf exist.
Oh my gosh a multi billion dollar company can no longer make money off of free content online oh no :(
> even less representative of the content

On the contrary, I changed it to the article's own statement of what it is about. (Note that it happens to be a question - in other words, the mod who put the question mark in the title was on the right track.) More explanation here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36328562.

Replacing a baity title with representative language from the article itself is just about the most common thing mods do on HN. If you think that HN is worth being a regular reader of, then you're benefiting from this practice whether you feel aggravated by it or not; it's foundational to this community.

I know people love to hate HN's title editing practices - I've been hearing about it for well over 10 years - but of all the things we do on HN this is the one I feel most confident about and am happy to defend until the cows come home. This may seem counterintuitive (how can the best thing be what people love to hate?) but there's a simple reason for that: people notice the cases they dislike and overlook the others.
I knew that someday reddit executives would close old.reddit.com and that that day I would have to stop visiting because of how shitty the new interface is. What I never could have imagined is that it would be the actions of mods that would drag me to not being able to use reddit. It came as a surprise to me.
So are they just skimming content off the HTML responses/using private APIs used by Reddit themselves?

If so, that actually seems less resistant to change, not more.

I’ve found Anker’s small batteries to be of high quality. I own a Tesla Powerwall which works well and has nice integrated software and seemed like the best option without a heavy DIY lift as of a few years ago.

Great to see competition here as it will drive more innovation. It will be interesting to see how the software picture will evolve:

Smarter appliances and electric vehicles that talk to the power controller to charge or do more work when there is excess power would be a big level up for these systems.

I once happened across a Github where all the repos were subtle little bits of anti-Semitic cant relating to the Holocaust. More than subverting them, they also often function as dog-whistles for fellow travelers.

In my estimation it is, in its basest explanation, a means of hacking religious reward system of ones own brain. We have this spiritual nature to us which cannot be explained, but the study of the divine is an excercise in honing and directing that spiritual aspect. This can absolutely affect real change in ones own mindset and behaviour. In this way, I say it is metaphor that reveals truth. It reveals truth about the way our brains work, what motivates us, how to direct ones own will, etc.

Now, on a more abstract and heady level, I would posit that because these techniques do induce real change in our brains, that they may point at a truth outside of ourselves. For instance- when I hear of occult practicioners worshipping demons of greed in order to obtain personal wealth- it makes me think that the idea of "demons" ought mot to be tossed out ebtirely. In a certain sense, theyre real. Worship of these demons amounts to giving oneself over to the spirit of that demon (e.g. greed) now does this mean there is a real flying bat like demon creature - no, but it is a lesson in the nature of these demons within ourselves. We all have inner aspects which are base and immoral, and when we choose to feed them, it is akin to worshiping a deity- i creasing the influence and control it has over your thought processes.

Hope this made sense. I find the intersection of occult practice, jungian psychology, and judeo christion demonology to be a very very rich subject where surprising insights abound.
It's valid in this case because apple is trying to make the case that this device is supposed to be the future of computing. It's telling that you can't actually develop for the platform within the platform itself.

If you are developing novel AR experiences why wouldn't you want to be building them in a fully 3d environment, with new tools that can take advantage of all that brings? Instead we are forced back into the world of 2d, which shows an unfortunate lack of conviction on Apple's part.

If we are serious about this being the future of computing we need to build native tooling. This is a virtuous cycle, tools beget tools, but Apple needs to be willing to relinquish some control.
I wonder if going under anesthesia is different though due to the time involved. Like, if you're under for 4 hours, you'll feel like no time has passed. But what about 4 days? Or 4 months?

If death is infinite, to really compare death and anesthesia, we'd need to experience being under for longer.
As far as I can tell, workers are not being paid for just being online. They get paid a prorated amount of this "hourly" wage during an active order.

I probably would have reacted the same way. But at the same time, Yelp's algorithm probably treats accounts with a track record as more legit than ones that were just created and then wrote a review. I wonder if they ever would have unhid your review if you had kept reviewing, or even just using the app to search for places to go.
Yeah. Your average U-CPU (what you'd get in a 13" or 15" ultrabook, and what we use) has a TDP of 9-28W. That's well within the range of what a modern phone can boost to.
It's a good question. Regardless of Twitter, Kbin and Lemmy (and maybe others?) will be even more important for ensuring they get indexed properly. The organic/real nature of Reddit comments (at least those not astroturfed .. heh) were valuable to search. We (devs) need to make sure Fediverse stuff provides that value. At least in my view.

Is there something Mastodon/Kbin/Lemmy might be doing that could cause poor indexing? I'm working on yet-another-lemmy-thing and i'd like to not commit sins on this front.
I thought it was only me who thought that. Those articles are so much worse than, say, Google News app. Once in a while there’s something relevant, but it’s always clickbait stuff.
And what’s worse, the contents of subreddits are incredibly homogeneous; there is no place for dissent. A subreddit named ”music” or ”films” or ”games” (just conceptually, ok?) fancies itself as the reference for that specific thing, when it’s actually just a reflection of whatever political stance the mods have (usually simply reduction to average). Outside people will see that and think ”oh nice a centralized discussion for concept X” and that just makes things even worse.
Microsoft at least sells real products that should be designed, produced and supported. Google sells, figuratively speaking, air, and redirects the profits to "own the world" by crushing the competition in other areas. Google undoubtedly has some decent products as well (Android, Google Workspace) but this is a drop in the ocean.

If you're planning to offload to a third party anyway, why don't you instead first try routing mail though AWS SES? You'll definitely get better delivery and at least you'll be able to control the rest of the stack.
I believe the real scandal is the increase in domain prices for the most loyal customers. Today, .it domains cost me 10 Euros plus VAT, from July they will cost 19.99 Euros plus VAT. That's a 99.9% increase and a lower level of service.
The apocryphal Prussian General 2x2 captures the problem.

“General Freiherr von Hammerstein-Equord, the present chief of the German Army, has a method of selecting officers which strikes us as being highly original and peculiarly un-­Prussian. According to Exchange, a Berlin newspaper has printed the following as his answer to a query as to how he judged his officers: “I divide my officers into four classes as follows: The clever, the industrious, the lazy, and the stupid. Each officer always possesses two of these qualities.

Those who are clever and industrious I appoint to the General Staff. Use can under certain circumstances be made of those who are stupid and lazy. The man who is clever and lazy qualifies for the highest leadership posts. He has the requisite nerves and the mental clarity for difficult decisions. But whoever is stupid and industrious must be got rid of, for he is too dangerous.”

>Expecting frontend devs to write efficient SQL queries

This just isn't a problem for most modern stacks. You're using an ORM and not writing SQL which isn't any harder than GraphQL or Rest endpoints.

And, for better or worse, there's not that much need to write efficient SQL because servers are so fast these days. The target you need to hit is something like "one of my filter conditions has an index" and things will usually be fine.

I hosted postgres with cnpg operator in kubernetes. It does everything automagically: backups, wal backups and high-availability. Can't say nothing bad about it, it just worked for me. My only issue is that it releases versions too fast, I'd prefer some more relaxed schedule, but that's probably just me.

I spend pretty much zero time administering my server. Once it's set up, it pretty much just runs itself.

The reason I want to run my own server is that I want to run my own spam filter, whose algorithm requires seeing my outgoing mail as well as my incoming. (Though I guess I could do that through IMAP by looking at my SENT folder. But for me it's also just the principle of the thing. I remember the good old days, and I'm not going down without a fight.)
Nah, the aesthetic is called Aqua, not a name borne out of a Windows OS that copied Aqua five years later. And Apple hardware never transitioned to a Google software interface concept.
In this particular context, the connotation of "dumb" does not pertain to a complete lack of knowledge. Even individuals regarded as intelligent may find themselves in situations where their knowledge is limited. Rather, it pertains more to one's capacity for logical reasoning and discerning connections, which your employee seems to have demonstrated proficiently. They embody the role of the "field commander" as described in the article.

Consider, instead, if the employee inundated your inbox with materials only loosely relevant to the meetings, rather than undertaking the extensive efforts described earlier. Alternatively, envision the employee hiring a moving company without consulting you, rather than researching truck rental options.

The article's reference to "dumb and energetic" pertains to this type of behavior—acting impulsively and energetically without proper consideration—rather than the situation you are describing.

Indeed, there are companies that would reward that type of 'bias to action' even if the results weren't helpful at all.
Not egregious, certainly for the couple hundred dollars recovered. I was mostly pointing it out (1) because any lawyers here would find it interesting that someone, somewhere, once won on an NIED claim, and (2) so that non-lawyers wouldn't get the sense that NIED claims are winnable, in general. They are often tacked on to other, more legit claims, but they are very rarely won.

“those who ask for software tend to ask for extremely simple workflow-helper type stuff rather than domain-expert-amplifier type stuff”

I was a HS English teacher for about ten years before moving into tech, and this reality was a source of frequent frustration with (most/almost all) new ed-tech offerings. There are enough practical constraints on instruction quality that amplification tools would be welcome; however, improving educational quality through improving instrumental performance does not appear to be a notable focus.

FWIW: I believe the low hanging fruit begins with assessment.
Why would consciousness be different from memory and thinking? I don't think there's even an agreement on what consciousness IS. Or even, is consciousness even a thing? Or is it a label we give ourselves to separate us from other things?

I think the question is what are the tangible benefits people would actually pay for?

Social media companies have the incentive to figure out how to make more money from their product. I think the fact that none of them have really proposed any pro-tier that is adopted by a majority of users shows that most people aren't really willing to pay for anything they provide.

I find most 12V stuff like modems and routers run off a 2.1mm or 2.5mm barrel jack. (And of course it doesn’t imply 12V). You’d need to bodge a double ended connector.

Maybe screw terminals would be ideal so you can cut your wall wart cable and wire it up. Most devices will have a bridge diode inside (total waste of electricity, but not going there right now).

Maybe the solution isn't decentralization, but a non-profit approach like Wikipedia.

Google + Reddit should form some sort of partnership to monetize results. Maybe instead of Reddit.com , users are redirected to a sort of landing page that incorporates Reddit answers but is not Reddit, and also has google ads on it. the landing page, using AI, incorporates the answers in a more readable format.
Totally. It's a useful result if only to confirm that people doing tasks that can be handled pretty well by automation will use said automation. Not surprising, but absent a test it's just a supposition based on human behavior. While less problematic, I expect that human transcribers are probably also using ML systems to generate a first pass (though I'm not sure how much that benefits a fast touch typist).
Same, if I am done reading reddit discussions I will just switch to 'forum' and occasionally stumble into some forum threads. Most are dead now though!
A few comments that I hope may help bring more clarity for your intended audience:

* Your website looks slick and kinda well designed (though there seems to be too much information moving around).

* The documentation starts with getting the user to sign up for the hosted version (SaaS).

* There is no pricing information or FAQ about pricing and business model.

* Though the code seems to be on GitHub and the license there is stated as AGPL, there are no prominent links to anything about self-hosting either on GitHub or on your main site. So I’m not sure why this is AGPL licensed but also talks the user into signing up to the hosted version in the docs.

I think the self-hosting documentation will help bring more people to try it within their own environment without worrying as much about privacy and security.
Currently struggling with searching for the usual developer queries, but not getting the answers I need :(

“Something something random package name is suddenly broken Reddit”

The backup is using the same query with “stack overflow”, but that knowledge has become dated.

Around the rise of Slack, and then Discord and Teams, knowledge started becoming transferred between open source devs within their corresponding chat. People would get their answer on a VueJs issue and move on… The end result was that Google never picked that up, and the next dev popped in the chat the next day with the exact same question.

In the last couple years, Reddit has become the place for devs to do q&a as well.

It’s also making it difficult for me to communicate with prospective users online for simple market research and feedback.
How workers adapt to the threat of local employer exploitation
The problem is that "living wage" is such a subjective litmus test. A student living at home and a single mother of 5 have completely different standards.

FDR's statement was also clearly implied a constant wealth level of the country overall. But you could imagine lots of runaway economic situations were pulling people out of the workforce causes the "living wage" to rise which would require pulling people out of the workforce until you just do not have enough economic productivity to support your population (which is kind of a version of what Venezuela went through).
That is not obvious to me at all. If they feel empowered to do that, they could, in theory, play it very tightly to short term demand and toggle people's "working status" and dodge this new law entirely. We don't want people idling around with apps that try to log in to uber every 10 seconds rather than people idling around logged in waiting for uber to send them a job. It's the same problem as before. This law is effectively saying uber must pay people for asking if uber has any work to do, in addition to doing it.

And maybe we're just saying no to the gig model. Sure, I'm for it. But this indirect approach is going to be an awkward way to get there imo.
