You're still buying into their paradigm wherein they've created endless needless complexity to confuse the market. The entire point is that this complexity needs to be nipped in the bud with singular prices for each significant line item, just as every other industry operates.

The equivalent would be when you're hungry and need to buy food at the grocery store, asking how you can manage that since you are going to have to pay for the food cost, the shelf space cost, the trucking cost, the refrigeration cost, the cashier, the bagger, etc. In actuality, the grocery store comes up with a single price that they're comfortable selling an item of food for, puts in on the shelf, and you can take it or leave it at that price.

The only way the medical industry can get away with their ridiculous bullshit is seemingly through a bunch of laws they bought whereby they can saddle people with debt without actually having done the work of forming a contract. Hence why you can visit a single business, and then end up getting a slew of bills from arbitrary providers that you had no relationship to. That simply cannot happen in other industries, where the only basis for billing is having formed a contract.

The equivalent for cancer is they'd lay out several treatment options (as they're already doing while ignoring prices), listing the price for each, the price and recommended frequency for followup monitoring, etc. You could then ask different providers for how much their treatment cost. Ideally the places administering treatment would be unbundled from the doctors doing the diagnosis, and the diagnosing doctors' office could give you a list of competing treatment providers. I know I'm hand waving away a lot of details here, but the whole point is that the intrinsic complexity of the problem needs to be modeled around cost, rather than treating it as an afterthought, creating a bunch of accidental complexity that ignores cost, then trying to manage it after the fact.

(And note that this is still orthogonal to who is ultimately paying, whether legitimate insurance to pool risk, subsidies for those who can't pay, etc. It's easiest to see what the current system is lacking when you look at things that "insurance" doesn't cover. For example a hospital stay, I would guess most people here would pay $100/night to have a single room rather than a shared room with a roommate always setting off their bed alarm etc. But there's simply no way to express that to the system currently, creating a zero-sum environment of scarcity, rather than a positive sum environment of abundance)

What that quote by Napoleon fails to account for is that "smart" vs "dumb" isn't innate. People start off dumb, and through experience, become smart over time.

If you fire your dumb and energetic people, you'll be hard-pressed to find any smart and energetic ones... pretty much only those whose current employers are dumb enough to lose them.

You go to war with the army you have, not the army you wish you had. Your "army" is going to include dumb and energetic people. Learn to manage them. Encourage their energy by giving them lots of work; insulate yourself from their inexperience by ensuring the work you're giving them is low-risk and reviewable, and mentor them through their "dumb" phase.

The question isn't whether you have enough low-risk and reviewable work (if you think you don't have any, believe me, you do), it's whether you have the luxury of budget to pay salaries to get it done.

They are backed by collateral, which limits the growth in the money supply to the value of goods and services in the economy. And, when the loan is paid back, the money is destroyed. Hence, no inflation.

Now, when the government issues debt, there is no collateral, and hence no constraint on the debt. When the debt notes are paid, they are paid by simply issuing more debt. Hence, inflation.

While on the subject, are there any review sites anywhere, not just for locations but also of products, that can be trusted?

It seems to me that all of them can be and actively are gamed.

Googling using the extension site:reddit.com caught on for a reason.
We don't have numbers, but if it hadn't blown up in their face then we wouldn't be talking about it. What is reddit's product? The users. What happens IPO valuation when the users leave?
Agreed. The big dawgs are entering the field, the startup needs to ship now. Take the VC funding and start getting hardware into people's hands. I generally despise the "ship it and iterate" approach that startups use which leads to shitty constantly updating/changing software, but I'm afraid it's that or die for this company, and I'm absolutely ecstatic at the idea of an open Linux-running headset!

I'm usually the first guy to critise french investment strategy in overhyped fields.. However, in this case we have :

- really smart people, that really graduated from the very best french schools

- that actually have real world experience in the top research facilities in the field, in the US.

- that know each others very well

- and don't rely solely on public funding (so they will definitely be held accountable for what they're doing with the money).

This is waaaaaayyyyy above what we're used to. So, i have to say : congrats to the team, and godspeed !
I think the primary issue is that no matter what Google prioritizes for, the SEO "blogs" will always switch over to attempting to look like it. Forums, whose goal is just people talking to each other, are never going to end up at the top of the list compared to people actively attempting to game the algorithm. Even if Google started actively promoting things that look like forums, SEO people would just make things that look like forums but are hyper optimized for whatever Google was looking for.

The only way around this is for google to start making a white list of known good forums, but people get (understandably) really pissed when a company of google's size starts actively choosing winners and losers instead of just tuning their algorithm.

1. As mentioned, this article is about Full Self Driving Beta Pro Black Edition, but it's important to note that it is commonly confused with Autopilot, and vice versa. Even the most die-hard Tesla fans routinely confuse the two (example: you saw "Self-Driving System" and somehow that registered as "Autopilot").

2. It's only click garnering nonsense if you don't bother reading the article.

3. I respect your thoughts and experiences with Autopilot, but your experience will never invalidate other people's experiences, nor cold hard data.

4. If bad drivers will always be bad drivers given any tool (which I'm inclined to agree), doesn't that invalidate Elon's claim that FSD will actually allow you to be an absent driver, one that doesn't look out the windows, plays games and drinks alcohol?
> Put those together and it's plausible that Reddit wants to go from a discussion site with cats to a cats feed site with meaningless discussion, and a bunch of ads mixed in.

Based off of my personal experience with many subreddits that have a four digit plus subscriber count, I think reddit has largely already achieved the above goal.

The amount of mindless "me too!" and "here's how that works /confidentlyincorrect" has grown significantly within the past few years, though has been a problem for a number of years prior.

Reddit won't come back from this stage of may-as-well-be-bots-posting.
> Unlike moderators on Reddit, who have no established way to seek support from the platform or its users

The article brings up a good point regarding how Reddit relies a lot on free labor to work. The incentives for operating the communities are primarily built on good will.

I've been working on a Reddit/Discord/Patreon style hybrid community platform that puts a focus on the community owner/admins getting paid. It feels like the people running the communities should be rewarded for the work that they do.

> we don't know what discrete jump in model architecture might come next

This is true, but as long as these models are based on creating sentences based on what sentences that it's seen have looked like, and not on fetching and understanding verifiable facts, these services will do more harm than good overall.

If anything, these models need two sources of training data:

1. The standard language model (as it is now) to be able to generate and process queries and provide understandable answers

2. A database of verifiable factual information that it can query in order to prevent it from completely hallucinating information and then asserting that it is verifiable factual information when asked [0].

Until we can solve the AI hallucination problem, these systems are going to require users to be much more careful with information they're given than most people can manage right now.

Those studies, which do consistently show significant effects despite your citation-unladen claim, explore averages across a general population and seek to explain society-wide phenomena through the lens of "average" humans. This implies an assumption of homogeneity within the general population. Such tests will of course be underpowered compared to case studies in specific circumstances, particularly those involving self-selection and a cohort-level cultural bias toward "I'm smart and need to pick things up quickly for my day job which means that skill is equally accurate and transferrable to everything I read about".

You should take a look at the ongoing deals and negotiations between the US on India. You're right that as it stands Moscow is important, but as I said, the US is making a huge effort in changing that.
This is a unsupported analysis. Despite the California DMV mandatory reporting requirements for autonomous driving systems (ADS) with a safety driver [1], FSD under open beta testing with a safety driver has been deliberately underclassified by Tesla to not qualify as a autonomous driving system to suppress disclosure of their raw usage data [2]. As the only entity with the raw information is the manufacturer which has a inherent conflict of interest, no robust untainted safety analysis is possible.

The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) does have a standing general order (SGO) [3] requiring the disclosure of all ADAS incidents [4]. However, Tesla redacts which system and version was in use in all reports citing proprietary information unlike other manufacturers which only redact in a small fraction of their reports. In addition, a cursory examination (filter to Report Type 10-Day Update) shows 749 Tesla incidents with 711 having unknown injury severity. This is distinct from "No Injuries Reported" where they know that no injury occurred; they only know for certain that nobody died in less than 5% of the cases. This is again in contrast to all other manufacturers combined which only have a total of 203 incidents of which only 63 have unknown severity. That is 5% known for Tesla versus 70% known for all other manufacturers, a 14x difference. The deliberate censoring of the incident information by Tesla makes it even more impossible to do a meaningful analysis.

So, not only is the denominator suppressed, even the numerator is censored. It is straight up impossible for any third party to do any analysis. As the default assumption with safety-critical systems is that they are unsafe, and it is literally impossible for any untainted safety analysis to be done, it is affirmatively unsafe until at a minimum they stop suppressing the incident and usage information that they are legally required to disclose.

I never understand why Reddit is credited to the "free community based moderation" idea

Facebook does this at much larger scale (2B users active in FB Groups), with way more spam, and some FB groups are much larger than most big subreddits

Its not about Facebook or Reddit, its about people being so power hungry they do these things for free. When subreddits post about bringing in more mods, thousands apply, maybe 2 get in. If Reddit deems locked subreddits abandoned, there is already a system to give the abandoned subreddit to anyone else that wants it (within reason). Subreddits also split pretty often due to mod infighting

The last thing that bugs me is peoples claims the new mods (if chosen by reddit employees) wont be as high quality as the previous ones. No one has ever proven the current moderation teams are any good. The infighting is because some mods love adding arbitrary rules like "no relationship posts" in AITA. Does everyone agree with that? Is that a perfect rule? Why? A new moderation team could be just as good or just as bad as the previous one
I'm unusually strict about maintaining a separation between work and personal (for instance, I would never allow my personal smartphone to connect to my employer's WiFi), so I wouldn't use personal keys on a work machine at all.

But if those keys (or passwords, etc.) are generated for work purposes, I consider them to be as much company property as the machine itself, so I'm no more protective of them than I am of any other sensitive company data.
They do it for free XD
Did you have any actual points from the article you wanted to discuss, or call out as wrong? Or are you just communicating that you refused to read it because of the first line?
Oh. As the creator and reluctant maintainer of npm's "ssh-keygen", this is awkward!

First question: does this mean I won't be able to publish patches to the package?

Why do I not want this package under my control? The original package simply calls spawn for your real `ssh-keygen` with the appropriate arguments. No real problem, (although there is very little value here). But a contributor added support for Windows by uploading opaque binary builds for Windows. While I have no reason to distrust the contributor, it is scary to be "responsible" for opaque executables that I did not personally produce.

So, what should I do with this package? Assuming npm lets me do anything?

Fortunately this package is "only" downloaded ~1600 times/week, miniscule for npm. If you are tempted to use ssh-keygen, I recommend you learn how to use execFile/spawn, and use the native program directly.

For context, I published this 10 years ago, as one of my earliest contributions to open source. I probably wouldn't have gone near any security-essential contributions if I had more experience at the time.
This assumes that the API is the reward provided by the website to "buy" the user-generated content, as if the website did not provide value otherwise.

Nobody posts on Reddit just to access the content via an API, it's not a finality of using Reddit, it's a nice to have.

Those are way too heavyweight. They are clunky to use.

Precisely - these aren't "Warning signs" that are only clear in hindsight. They are proof of fraud beyond a reasonable doubt. If a person or organization has these traits and you continue to trust them, it is not an honest mistake.
Yeah, I noticed that chip and didn't give it a second look. It's more than 3x the cost of the PSRAM solution, and that would have driven up the price of the RAM card higher than planned. So sure, it exists. And that's about all I have to say about it.
How did they know your real name? Because they had your credit card and remembered you from your visit? Whenever I have a bad review to leave, I always wait a couple weeks, to minimize the chance they'll remember me...
I use the same method for a Twitch TTS system I built and it works very, very well.
Depends on use case, for me at least, I have used RP2040s as secondary microcontrollers for something like a CM4, where I want something that is closer to real time, or if it is a control loop.
Couldn't even make it to the second paragraph before rushing to HN with a hot take?
the open internet is dying. What used to be blogs and forums now is Reddit.

How "open" were those blogs and forums, though in a functional sense?

Instead of an untrustworthy/unreliable corporation like Twitter or Reddit owning a data and community.... we used to have a zillion untrustworthy/unreliable individual "webmasters" owning those blogs and forums. "Your" "community" might be gone in the blink of an eye because the guy running it threw a hissy fit, or forgot to pay his hosting bill.

All other things being equal, the current near-monoculture does suck worse. But the old days sort of sucked too.
Trying out the thing, and since this is ycombinator after all:

type Lazy<A> = () => A;
const lazy = <A,>(f: Lazy<A>) => {
let thunk: Lazy<A> = () => { throw null; }
thunk = () => {
const y = f();
thunk = () => y
return y;
};
return thunk;
};
const tap = <A,B>(f: Lazy<(a: Lazy<A>) => Lazy<B>>, a: Lazy<A>): Lazy<B> =>
lazy(() => f()(a)());

const ap = (f: any, a: any): any => tap<any,any>(f, a);

const y = <A,>(f : (a: Lazy<A>) => Lazy<A>): Lazy<A> => ap(((x: any) => ap(ap(f, x), x)),((x: any) => ap(ap(f,x),x)));

type Cat = {
name: string,
friend: Cat,
prefersDryFood: boolean,
foodPerWeek: number
};
export const cat = y<Cat>(self => lazy(() => ({
name: "lol",
friend: self(),
prefersDryFood: false,
foodPerWeek: 4,
})))();

Breaks typescript though. Also, the laziness won't work here.
"As the AI generated content becomes dramatically overwhelming in scale, the human content will become increasingly easy to spot (and there will be multiple cues to the human content that make it fairly obvious)"

I feel like you're not accounting for the amount of that AI content that will be deliberately and intelligently intended to masquerade as human. Every signal you can think of and may start using is a signal that intelligent humans can and will forge. And they'll get the ones you didn't think of either, because that's their job.

I don't even have to hedge or qualify this prediction, because we have decades of experience with people already forging every signal that is technically possible to forge, and pouring very substantial effort into doing so, right up to having dark businesses that provide these things as a service. "Forge all the signals that are technically possible to forge" is a product you can buy right now. For example, from 13 days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36151140

I don't know what signals you think you're going to see, but I'll guarantee A: yes, you will indeed see them because there's a lot of degrees of competence in the use of these systems (I still periodically get spams where the sender sent out their template rather than filling it in with a mail merge), but B: those will just be the ones you notice, not the entire population.

Rather than a binary decision, I like to measure with "how much information does it take for me to detect a forgery". For instance, things like modern architecture renders can absolutely fool me as being real at standard definition, but at 4K they still struggle (too precise, too clean, even when they try to muss it up on purpose). I need a few paragraphs of GPT text to identify it conclusively, and that's just the default tone it takes. Ask it to give you some text in a specific style and I don't know how much it would take. For all I know I'm already missing things. You're probably already missing things you didn't realize.
Nobody needs an XR headset, but many don't need a computer if an XR headset, Chromebook, thin client, whatever, can cover their use case. The need is to complete whatever task.

I read the comment as there being some fundamental limitation, a need, that will prevent people from moving to XR, and I would like to understand what that is. Perhaps I was being too charitable, and it's actually an opinion about others preferences, based on the first gen of a device that can replace a computer.

But, you could call me "biased" (or maybe experienced) since I've been working in VR for a couple of years now. I see it as a very obvious transition, in computing, once headsets (including the vision pro) get lighter.
Is there anything with the new pricing approach that prevents Reddit from giving OpenAI more favorable negotiated rates that are not publicly disclosed?
