They're some of the biggest ones, and easily discernable by the most cursory glances. Are you trying to say that their efforts will catch more hidden ones but not the obvious ones? If they can't even get the easy ones, why do you think they get any of them?
People seem to be under the impression Brazil is a democracy when in fact it's a Venezuela tier socialist judiciary dictatorship.

You were doing pretty well up until this line (and the one after).

Sure, the PT's talking points on this subject are pure cringe. But it's easy to see through pro-Bolsonaro apologetics like this as well.
An email for every reply can be annoying. The extension I developed embeds an In-App Inbox inside HackerNews (If you've used Reddit, you know). So, everything stays inside HackerNews itself. No push notifications or emails.
Clicked on the Asus.com link here on HN and checked out the phone. Then went to Amazon.com for something else and got an ad for the new Motorola RAZR flip phone[1] which comes in at 6.9" unfolded but has a 3.6" external display when folded.

I think a folded phone would suffice for a "compact" phone but after some negative experiences here on HN[2][3], maybe not.

Me too. I've seen teams of 2 or 3 up to 10 do things in half the time of a team of 100. It's the real power of life startups. If you get the right people with the right experience in the same room and align their motivations you get amazing things like the Apple II. If you put hundreds of not the right people, but close, in the same room you get a job factory.
In the name of sanity, let’s all avoid “biweekly” and “bimonthly”. Just say twice a X to be clear. Pretty funny how the dictionary claims to be largely neutral by only reflecting the cultural ambiguity. I want an f-ing opinionated dictionary that says: avoid this ambiguous word!
Google on YouTube ad blockers: three attempts and video player will be blocked
> to say "X is banned" with no additional context is to say that "X is banned under all contexts".

Not really? I don't know, maybe I'm in a minority here but I don't think I am -- I'm not against providing additional context, additional context is often helpful. But I don't think this is an exceptional use of the word, and I think these are pretty clearly bans. I do not agree with that characterization of common usage, I suspect most people understand that bans can apply to specific scopes/situations.

I do think people are a little too cavalier sometimes about saying "it's not censorship if I agree with it or it's legal." We censor things sometimes. When we ban porn from a children's section in a library, that's censorship -- it's good censorship that we should be doing. People attach a lot of emotion to these words that maybe isn't appropriate or helpful to attach.

> government entity chooses not to provide thing that's within its purview

A government entity mandating that public schools may not provide a resource in their libraries is not "deciding not to cover" something, it is a restriction -- it's a ban. I sort of understand where you're coming from semantically, and if the only thing happening here was that librarians were choosing not to stock the books, I might agree with that semantic distinction. I don't think it would necessarily be a ban for a naturally limited space to not happen to have every single piece of content.

But that's not what's happening: schools, local governments, and state governments are barring their inclusion. The books are being specifically excluded from those spaces, regardless of whether or not the people tasked with maintaining those spaces want to include them. That's a ban.
i phrased it poorly
There's a long-standing effort by Nation of Islam (the American hate group that is only nominally Islamic) to rewrite the history of slavery in the US as largely orchestrated by and for Jews. Nonetheless the actual numbers show that they "possessed far fewer slaves than non-Jews in every British territory in North America and the Caribbean" [1] though the reason why is still not well understood.

Ask HN: Stock Android phone free of bloatware?
Is there an Android phone available that comes without any pre-installed bloatware, offers long-term support, and ensures access to the latest Android versions?
Like I said, revisionism. Also known as a backronym. That's the entire joke.
It's an extreme simplification; the idea is called "Baby Bonds" and it was part of Corey Booker's platform. It's not a simple cash payment but a savings account with funds that can be withdrawn only for education, job training, first home purchase, or starting a business.
Yup. You were overpaying for a worse product. Unfortunately, that seems to be the norm in processed products branded as healthy.

It's better to stick the the regular version; the kinks have been probably worked out. Still unsafe, but unsafe in a known quantity.
The amplitude of the waves we have detected are less than the width of a proton.
Since you're already not even close to on-topic, I just want to say that people on the internet commenting about "how they misread the title" are some of the worst kind of comments.

Titles could mean all kinds of various, new things if you substituted meaningful words for other meaningful words. Or in this case, acronyms hiding several words at a time.

The final result of your comment is that apparently you're critiquing LLMs in a thread that has literally nothing to do with them, and seemingly trying to talk about them instead.
It was not me who made the comparison, that's the person I replied to.

They were comparing number of people crossing the bridge to the total number of people using the entire BART system.

If anything what you say just makes BART look even worse, since a 2 mi stretch of bridge carries a half as many people as a hundred mile long BART system.
This premise about large subsets falls apart when you apply it to maples and oaks, even less it's applicable to free willed creatures gifted with intelligence. If you see a difference between two subgroups, it means your understanding of why these groups are the way they are is lacking.
i didn't mean to be what-about-ist. from my perspective there's a huge, glaring, impossible thing to miss right in front of us, and you reached specifically to the indirect issue. from my perspective, that's you being what-about-ist (ignoring the blatant bad thing in favor of the more distant bad thing).

anyway, i don't disagree with the rest. just feel that being called out for whataboutism here is a bit unfair.
Here in my country, we calculate points based on grades and standardized test results, and top X students (based on points) get accepted to that college. Race and name doesn't matter at all, if you're above the cuttoff, you're in.

I mean, if he just googled a few websites he'd get the same information. I guess these days there's enough blogspam (ironically, increasingly AI generated) that having an LLM cut through it if you aren't sure of what handful of reputable sources you should check for a given topic might be a slight effort and time-saver, but it isn't providing anything that's not fairly immediately accessible.
Aspartame causes weight gain, so abstinence-only isn’t a great analogy.

If you are trying to lose weight, then just use less sugar. That’s actually pretty easy, since artificial sweeteners and sugary drinks desensitize you to sweet stuff.

If you taper off for a week or so, you’ll find that the stuff you were previously drinking is cloyingly sweet.

For instance, reading a starbucks menu makes me shudder. I can’t even drink their non-dairy lattes anymore because they are too sweet.
At my workplace, I started in software and then was able to transition into embedded software about 6 years in. I credit a lot of that to a) working at a place that had both the field I was already in and the field I was getting into and b) the company culture/supportive managers/current development needs. Some fields I think this could work, others not so much...

You might get some more targeted responses here if you could give us an example of the types of roles you're applying for. As noted some fields are tougher too so I think general advice is only going to get you so far and specifics may help in so far as you are able to share.

Soft prompts and textual inversion, as I understand them, required considerable hardware resources and were effectively made obsolete by low precision LORA training.

But the text token merging people do for negative prompts is fast iirc.

Not that you are wrong. LLM prompting does seem quite primitive compared to zoo of encoding/prompting methods we have for SD... And some of it is directly applicable to LLMs. I never even thought about that before.
(1) If the pointers you pass to memcmp are know to the compiler, then memcmp will be treated as an intrinsic, and generally the compiler generates the optimal set of instructions for a given struct.

(2) Correct. The expression is only evaluated at compile time.
These notices are ineffective to say the least. Saying “everything causes cancer” is pointless because it ignores the key questions of “how often?” and “with what severity?”

The Australian legislation was touted as a link tax originally, but by the time it passed it had been reworked to compel Meta and Google to form commercial arrangements with journalism companies. We don’t know what is in those commercial arrangements (the law does not compel transparency) - presumably they involve, among other things, limits on financial liability which Google really wanted from Canada’s government and didn’t get.
What happened to Tokyo? :(
Amazon has been able to get away with a lot because for a long time their customer experience was fantastic. You could buy pretty much anything knowing it was the lowest price, get it in a day or two, and return it for pretty much any reason.

Over time the experience degraded because they encouraged cheaply copying popular products, and then they even did it themselves and competed with their sellers. And of course their anticompetitive practices have made things much worse for those sellers.
It’s taken one day for customers to report broken Pixel Fold screens

One of my favourite all-time comments on HN was the guy that was constantly trying new experimental sweeteners just for fun and ended up with something that bound to his tastebuds for months. I can't find it.
My comment is clearly related to the parent comment - they're both obviously and unambiguously about telework and its ramifications. To claim that "it's a generic political tangent" is completely absurd.

I will admit that it was more political than I was aware of and is appropriate for HN, and for that I apologize to later readers - it's too late for me to edit it, and so I'll just have to live with it.
I wonder if it recently ran over a wheel chock, deforming the NLG spray deflector causing the nose wheel to refuse to deploy. A similar incident happened in 2001. https://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=20010809-...

NTSB report (pdf): https://reports.aviation-safety.net/2001/20010809-0_B712_N24...

Current incident: https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/316147

This plane's deets:

Boeing 717-2BD (derived from MD-80)

model year 2000

As an immediate stop gap, I think the FAA should issue an AD for the 717/MD-80 family that should rough front gear noises, underpowered response, or rolling sluggishness occur, ground crews should inspect the nose gear's NLG spray deflector for damage prior to any takeoff. For anyone unfamiliar, the deflector is thing that trails behind the nose wheel that limits FOD and water ingestion into MD-80's tail-mounted engines. Wing-mounted engines generally don't have this problem unless they're located near wing roots.
What time will you encounter the future? I'd like to be there for that.
GRSecurity started down this road. IBM though has deeper pockets
Facebook and Google pulled out of news after that law was passed. They only returned when Australian publishers agreed to negotiate outside the law.

For France, the devil is in the details. Google has agreements to fund news in many countries. This is generally a bribe it pays publishers not to pursue laws like this. Whereas the Canadian law seeks fairly unlimited payments.

So the question in the French case is how much Google could actually be forced to pay. It sounds like they can still accept an unreasonable deal.

It's strange because that's a normal publisher's take home, from which you also subtract a given amount for printing. But the author's take is usually around 10%, which should add up to 40%.
The problem with this is it tells you nothing about how competent the candidate is. It tells you about the success of a metric of an IT project. And it is easy to make up.

It is usually a “we” thing and it if they say “I” then I am suspicious.

And say they single handily sped up some system. Maybe it was a half day of profiling and fixing some string copying bug. Yes that fix moved a needle and is “Worth millions” but is it? Many people could do the same fix.

I am suspicious of team metrics (period!) and I am suspicious of them being used to judge a developer. What you really want to know is can they fix stuff, are they thinking
in alignment with the business. Chasing metrics often isn’t that. Metrics are a necessary evil: they are part truth part bullshit and require nuance to interpret.
> have no problem with all of the incredibly sub par legacy students who are accepted because of their parent's wealth. I know of a very affluent person who funded two professorial chairs a year before his music school educated son was accepted at a top 3 business school

That’s not the typical legacy.

That’s more “z-list” or equivalent.
> but I'm curious what you would remark as dealbreakers here.

I'm not sure how to properly and (edit: semi-)concisely explain the problem except by example:

How do I translate[0]:

$ ssh -Y raspberry-pi-on-null-model-cable ~/bin/my-x11-c-program

to Wayland, when executed from a non-ARM machine running a X server (respectively Wayland server) with a unknown compositor[2], without `my-wayland-c-program` loading any compositor-specific code or resources (and preferably being statically linked[1], although statically linking xlib is admittedly also a pain in the ass[3]).

Things that are the responsibilty of the window manager, such as the title bar, close window button, and alt-space menu, need to work correctly on any compositor that supports them, without the application running any code related to those things.

If it was just having to run everything on the same machine, wayland would have to have conspicuously significant advantages (of which it has roughly none) to be worth the loss in functionality. Adding on per-compositor special-casing - especially when the suggested 'fix' is apparently for me to link per-compositor shitware into my applications to allegedly abstract away that special casing - means Wayland needs to die in a fire.

0: Regarding ssh -Y: yes, the lack of security-distrust between two pieces of hardware right in front of me, that I nominally trust and control, is intentional.

1: ie `file my-wayland-c-program` prints (emphasis added):

ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, version 1 (SYSV), [*]statically linked, stripped[*]

2: "unknown" as in the application doesn't know, and isn't going to find out, because it doesn't matter unless the application is `wl-print-compositor-name` or similar.
With due respect, you've made a very poor argument here. The harms caused by many historical actions have significant, ongoing consequences to this day. You've stated that taking actions to "repair or correct" those harms can be "dangerous" without actually presenting any evidence for it. The idea of "letting it go" feels vey much like it's coming from a position of privilege. I'd be happy to discuss these ideas further if you would like to.
Harvard tries to be a pretty progressive organization - the way they justify legacy admissions is probably by arguing that the large endowments let them fund underprivileged students with needs-based programs.

They’re also in the literal business of prestige. They use mega-donors for mega-endowments which allows them to attract and fund mega-researchers. It’s also why it needs to be super exclusive (small class sizes).

Common writing, even from well-regarded sources, is often unnecessarily vague wrt statistics.

Claim: we would benefit by building a culture where basic probability ranges are expected and used.

Idea: Serious publications could:

A. Set basic guidelines for talking about probability estimates; something akin to what you see in government or business intelligence publications. For example, maps terms to ranges:

“highly likely”: > 90%

“likely”: 70% - 90%

“somewhat likely”: 50% - 70%

…

B. Update their editorial standards to not allow pure vagary around probabilities and impacts.

Could authors write more quantitatively? At the levels of the top 100 publications, I’d guess that 80% could, with the help of research and editing staff.

Would some readers be scared off? I’d guess than 80% of a college educated audience could handle it. The rest might complain, but could level up with a little peer pressure.

Would articles become more rigorous? Over time, I’d hope most would. Shift the expectations and make the vocabulary less forgiving to vaguery and fudgery, and I think the incentives point in the right direction.

They're dropping LLVM by re-implementing everything it does in their own homegrown fashion?...

And why does it matter, anyway? The GPL exists for a reason and RedHat knew what they were getting themselves into.

It's just so stupid people are gonna have to jump silly hoops to get the source code.
The DLang has 3 compilers:

1. gdc - based on the Gnu compiler collection back end

2. ldc - based on the LLVM back end

3. dmd - based on the x86 code generator that I wrote for Zortech/Symantec/Digital Mars

They each have their pluses, minuses, and targets. But the D language each supports is the same.

Overall, our users like the choice. Some even use more than one.
So if I have this stack of 25% off the coupons that the original "Bed Bath & Beyond" was famous for, can I expect "Bed Bath & Beyond" to honor them?
Yes, he will.

The utility of school is that you are force to study subjects that you would never choose. Few people have the willpower to continue studying once the subject gets hard or boring. School in general, as we know it, will be a thing for the foreseeable future.

Just about all the information we study in college has been available in book form for at least a century yet you don't hear of most people learning as a solo student. The Internet has not changed that even though you can get the information in seconds.

I used to think that online school were a game-changer for those the could not afford college. In theory you could get a full college degree for a fraction of the university cost. I figured people would flock to it but that has not been the case. I'm sure some people have taken advantage of the situation but for the most part that's not the norm even in poor countries.
In a typical class of 2500 students at Harvard, removing legacy preference would increase the minority population by 25. Removing athletic preference would and another 25. Removing minority racial preference would remove 450.

450 is 18x times larger than 25. But lots of legacy whataboutism. It’s not as big of an impact as people like to think / eat the rich, etc.
I did the same. Considering there's 5 other articles on the front page right now which are about LLMs, it's far too easy to skip the extra V.
Crossword Builder
Heya, here's a crossword builder I am working on as a hobby project. Backend is pure Go, frontend is in Typescript. I have a personal backlog of features to add (like allowing users to create custom grids), and I'm glad to take any feedback on what I've got so far.

TL;DR: pick a grid, add some words, auto-fill, add some clues. Submit to NYT and make $$$ (good luck with that step though).

Not to mention that a defence in a criminal trial will likely bankrupt all but the top 1%. Which is why innocent people almost always take a plea deal.

People are quick to say "I will sue", or "I will defend my innocence to the end", until presented with the potential bill. Justice is truly the providence of the rich, and the rich only.
