> You could say the same about Elon Musk

Elon Musk's successful companies were all him just taking credit for what the experts he bought produced. How is that in any way related to what OceanGate did? People doubted that Elon's companies could deliver on their goals, but they didn't really doubt the fundamental safety or engineering practices behind them. It's not like for the Model 3 Tesla just decided that suddenly cardboard was a great way to contain a battery pack. And SpaceX has absolutely been doing test flights "by the book" like the generations of rockets before them?
I am not sure we need to go pure functional all over, but I recognise your suffering. I mean; I like the intellectual challenge of building something ‘perfect’ that cannot be used, however there is a mix to be had. I thought Mercury always had a nice idea; its prolog with types and adding det makes it stricter.
Maybe they do, or did in this case, but I wouldn't expect them to keep me informed on what happened.
The history of these channels is old, dating back to radio times before TV.
Public opinion and public trust absolutely do matter to the justices. They derive their mandate from the people. If the people really want to relieve a justice of their duty, they will find a way - "the government" can't exist without any public support.

The Supreme Court is only the Supreme Court if enough people say it is.

Another happy paying Kagi user here. Several commenters have mentioned concerns about metering their searches. I'm grandfathered into a $10/mo 1,500 search plan, and there have been a few months where I do indeed hit that limit. The UX is quite good, it makes it clear when you're close, when you hit it, and allows you to set further limits on subsequent searches (you pay $0.015/search after the limit).

I've also gotten quite a bit of utility out of their API, with just a thin wrapper for querying via the command line [1]. I think I'd still prefer using the Search API directly (I currently use the GPT-enabled API), but that's only available for Teams at the moment [2].

I had my whole childhood email history deleted by Microsoft when they did the same to hotmail.
If I'm reading this correctly, HN rewrites the URL based on canonical regardless of what was submitted.

I've just done a test using 'https://example.com/original' to see if I as submitter can edit a URL after it's been submitted, and the answer appears to be "no". (Titles can be edited ... and I deleted the test.)

Which means you've got to watch carefully to see whether the URL you'd submitted is actually being presented, and email the mods if that's not the case.

(I suspect HN will tweak their canonical referrer handling for SciAm at least with regards to PoliticoPro.)
That Vonnegut reference at the end ;D
I don't think a model trained on a single company's data would be nearly as helpful as a model trained on all publicly licensed code on the internet. But suppose it were...

What if I'm not a massive corporation with millions of lines of code to train on and I want to pay for an AI coding assistant? Doesn't this make it effectively illegal for me to purchase such a product for a reasonable price when big companies will presumably be able to use it without paying the tax?

Another situation - let's say you're a company that contributes heavily to open source, but also accepts external contributions. Could Facebook train a model on the React codebase, for example, without having to pay the AI tax?

Another situation - suppose I start an LLM coding assistant and sell it to my friend. Presumably I don't have to pay the tax as a "low revenue" company. Then I get acquired or get some huge seed round and suddenly my customers have to pay the AI tax. Doesn't this just nuke all my customers?

Anyway, as a software engineer, I personally want people to use my code for whatever they want to use it for, without having to pay me for it. I indicate that by using an MIT license. Why throw that precedent out the window?
And that’s why I also discussed the several web api benchmarks where you’ll see 10,000x differences from bottom ranking to top.

But you didn’t like that, so felt compelled to ignore it.

1,000x is literally nothing when discussing modern development practices.

I’m not saying that oracle is definitely 1000x faster, just that writing off claims of 1000x cause you dislike the number is not proper in software when you can immediately find 10,000x benchmarks of two directly competing software packages.
Sorry, how exactly is it unconstitutional? It sucks eggs, wholly agreed, but how is it against any of the fifty articles of the Irish constitution?
> I've come understand it to mean "positively discriminate based on race, so long as it's a minority race"

Is that true? I have heard that white males benefit most from admission rules to colleges (perhaps primarily in California?). But maybe that's "quota rules" and not affirmative action.

Regardless, it appears as though the while male is probably going to take a hit if all admissions become strictly academically based.
This is a major point of contention between myself and my kith. We are all in agreement over climate change, broadly on social issues, economic issues, etc. The moment we start talking about specifics, the conversations get contentious:

- Encouraging higher density via elimination of single-family-only zoning (think minisota)

- Replacing gas with electrical

- Adopting a more vegetarian and vegan lifestyle

- reduction in general consumption.

Whenever personal action, or things that affect the public at large are indicated, there is a strong reaction. Its like the dog that wants you to throw the ball, but then does not give it back for you to throw.

I am sympathetic toward the response. I am one person among billions; any action I take will pale in comparison to the actions of corporations, governments, and populaces as a whole. Society at large seems to want to put the entire fate of the world on my shoulders and my shoulders alone. If I accept my personal responsibility, it can lead to despondency as I see others shirking their responsibility at best, and actively working against it at worst. Thus, I give up and focus only on abstract concepts that affect corporations, governments, and peoples at large.

And this is my experience with fairly liberal people. My experience with my conservative parents is disgusting. There is, somehow, an acknowledgement that climate change is real (thank god) and anthropogenic (thank god), but ANY (and I do mean any) suggestion on how to curb it is meant with resistance since essentially any solution would require a changing of society. Mind you, this is even with the most uncontroversial policies (such as more renewable energy)

I used to think thousands would have to have their homes destroyed in order to invite political action. COVID has convinced me that a million dead is truly just a statistic. I do not have high hopes for anything but the worst case scenario of the climate response.
From a brand perspective, being a B Corp is certainly a positive for both the socially conscientious end-consumer and any sustainable organisations which want a B2B relationship.

That overhead is the extrinsic price you pay for B Corp status, and like any other organisation membership programme, I'm sure some organisations will eventually drop from the certification due to time or restriction on their trade. But that is actually desirable, if its valuable to you, you'll find a way for your organisation to do it. And if you can't meet those requirements, and drop/don't apply, then it only adds more value to those who do have the status.

I'm not aware of anything which makes B Corp a particularly new idea — there are a few membership programmes (or even corporate awards which require membership) which have sustainable or fair work requirements. Subjectively, I feel that B Corp is executed well and the brand value it provides, for the time being, is worthwhile for smaller organisations to consider.

That's not how this works. The supreme court interpreted the equal protection clause to mean A in the original case and decided that limited discrimination didn't violate the constitution. Disagree with it all you want, I'll join you, but that was the ruling. Today the supreme court interpreted the equal protection clause to mean B and struck down their previous decision.

Also lol our constitution isn't anything blind and both acknowledges and establishes different classes of person in order to make rules about them.
1. The largest beneficiaries of admissions policies at elite institutions are legacy admissions of wealth alumni’s kids. If SCOTUS wants to interfere with the admissions policies of private institutions based on the equal protections clause, maybe that’s a better place to start.

2. The vast majority of students attend colleges that accept almost everyone.
I’d love to go carbon neutral personally, but the price tag - new solar, battery, 2 electric cars, re-wire of the house, electric water heater, electric stove, electric heat pump - is probably minimum $100k. And I’m being generous with that figure because that doesnt include possibly needing a new roof before panel install, and possibly needing an electric panel upgrade for those two 220v charging ports you’re gonna need for those cars. Then you probably want your gas line capped/meter removed.

The only way you slice this move is Americans accept a certain decrease in quality of life for a time, or the government makes more debt for itself subsidizing these moves than what it did trying to float businesses during Covid.
This is pretty interesting, although the attack seems pretty brittle & not generalizable to other LLM's or other tools similar to auto-gpt. Even future versions of auto-gpt seem likely to break the attack vector, IMO.

More importantly, it serves as a great reminder that containers are not a security tool and if you rely on them for security you will get burned and it will be your fault
Couldn't have agreed more. What a waste of 5 minutes.

There's a big difference between: "that app won't ever succeed" and "this submarine is dangerous and can kill people".
In Brazil, public universities were dominated by the rich, mainly whites, since the entrance exams required high grades that only those who could pay for expensive exam prep courses would have.

Since 2012, with the Law of Social Quotas, that reality has changed, since 50% of the new admission spots are destined for students coming from public high schools, with further subdivisions for racial minorities based on the demographic makeup of each Brazilian state. Those racial minorities quotas are as high as 30% at some universities.

I could personally see that change, since I did undergrad in engineering 10 years ago, and my colleagues were mainly white. I'm doing another undergrad and my new colleagues come from truly different backgrounds, some are black, poor, from indigenous origin... and that matters because if we don't share the same spaces as universities students, we probably won't share latter on, when occupying spaces of power

VS Code is primarily an editor, while JetBrains's products are IDEs. You can add extensions to make VS Code more an IDE. And I'd like to see benchmarks proving your point. If you're using VS Code as an editor, others like Sublime Text, Notepad++, Kate and TextMate make it seem very slow.
Show HN: The All-in-One Sales Hiring Platform
Hi HN! I'm one of the creators of HiringCafe, and we're excited (and very nervous) to be posting this on HN. We're recently backed by Pioneer!

We struggled to find sales candidates who were passionate about our industry. Our recruiting strategy looked like this:

Spend 2/3 of our recruiting efforts outreaching on LinkedIn. Hop on dozens of phone calls with candidates who didn't understand our industry. Post on job boards and get flooded with resumes. Rinse and repeat.

To solve for this, we built HiringCafe. It allows you to post your sales jobs on multiple industry-specific communities and job boards, pitch your company to every candidate, and organize your workflow - all in one platform.

I'd love your feedback and thoughts on what we're building.

Thanks!
No actually. Speed kills.

I am against mass surveillance. Remember when Snowden released all those documents? How we were all angry about the NSA spying on its own citizens?

Systems like this do the same, although they justify it as a means to stop speeding, which, to be fair, they do very well.

But we go from one month of data retention to multiple months, and then someone finds old data that was not deleted and the government allows its use, and now its acceptable to store this data for 2 years etc etc.
This is an oft debated topic. Some possible examples of system advantages include family wealth. Blacks historically weren't allowed to have jobs that paid, or were paid less than whites for the same work. Or weren't allowed to own real estate. Or weren't given access to the same loans (including federally subsidized loans). Even as early as this year there have been cases of discrimination relating to real estate and race.

So as a white male, when you inherit your parent's house, that's system advantage built from advantages that most blacks couldn't benefit from.

Additionally, where you live and proximity to better schools. Blacks in many cases weren't allowed to move into certain neighborhoods. Busing attemnpted (horribly) to compensate, but even that now is largely no longer done. Blacks simply tend to go to worse schools by almost every metric (including total funding).

Health care is another example, where most research has been done for white ethnicities. And there is still discrimination in how health care is administered. And health insurance coverage is still more difficult for Blacks to get, and they often pay more for it.

These are a few examples of "systemic" discrimination that benefits white people. There are literally books written about this if you do want to research it yourself.
By putting something on a public-facing website, it's generally agreed that (absent a robots.txt to the contrary), you intend it to appear in web search results, and you're granting a public limited semi-transferable revocable license to request, download and view your site to your visitors.

That doesn't mean you grant a license to produce derivative works other than search indexes. Legally, it's different. (Germany codifies these as separate "moral rights": Urheberpersönlichkeitsrecht.)
> Sure the passing driver is ultimately at fault, but the slow driver has blood on their hands despite no accountability.

If the slow driver is on a highway with a minimum speed limit or they're performing other unsafe maneuvers like weaving between lanes or stopping abruptly then they're clearly not a safe driver, so I agree that slow does not always equal safe.

But otherwise the collision is both morally and legally 100% the fault of the passing driver. Drivers have no moral or legal right to always operate at the speed limit if it's not safe to do so.

My semi-rural town has very narrow roads and I regularly encounter utility vehicles, school busses, farm vehicles, and cyclists on the roadway, not to mention turkeys, deer, and turtles. If a passing driver caused an accident or was pulled over and they tried to argue to the police officer that the slower vehicle "provoked them" into passing dangerously I can't imagine anyone finding that a compelling argument.
Humble suggestion -- please mention country and location in such posts.

HN has audience all over the world.
Except it's not mostly poor, hardworking ADOS (African descendents of slavery) students that benefit. It's rich, Black students that are benefiting, especially those from outside the US and no lineage from slavery. The problem with affirmative action is that everyone is only looking literally at skin color, which is the opposite of what we should be doing.
Used HL2 cost about 5x HL1. If I was going to spend that much I'd probably get a high-end PCVR headset. I was spooked by Karl Guttag's through-lens pictures of the HL2

https://kguttag.com/2019/12/18/hololens-2-not-a-pretty-pictu...

Maybe some models are better but I am satisfied with HL1 image quality.

One problem I have with the HL1 is that it is awful at playing video. I can visit YouTube w/ Microsoft Edge but the UI is so laggy I haven't been able to watch a real video.

I can listen to music from my local Jellyfin with the strange thing that I don't hear it in stereo but instead it is localized as a point source that I can hear behind me if I turn my back to the Edge window.

I've tried watching video through the Jellyfin web interface, I have no trouble selecting a video to watch but once I start the video I see the spinner spin and spin and spin. I see the HL1 has a HEVC codec built in, I assume I can transcode video to something it can stand.

The missing app I see is what you'd see in any movie with tech like this: something that lets a "controller" look through your camera, talk with you, put stuff up on your screen, etc.

More generally a problem I see is that I want to share the experience I am having with other people and as finicky as it is I'm a little afraid to give it to somebody else so they can see a "hologram". Of course I got this to help with software development for my art projects so that's kinda the whole point for me.
What little I know about composites/carbon fiber STRONGLY suggest it's a terrible approach for a submersible. Am I wrong?

Ask HN: How has your experience been with using AI Agents?
AI Agents seem to be an inherently brittle approach to composing functions.
I always find gamedev discussion interesting because a lot of it seems to come at it from a very different angle from my own. When I think of the time I'm spent on "gamedev". Im reminded mostly on the time I've spent learning and producing art, stressing over writing, playing with music-etc.. Sure I can and I have programmed but that's not the.. Emotional? aspect of it all. It's just busywork that I have to do to tie the ends together. I'd pay someone else to if I had enough money.

So it's really difficult for me to see myself, so to speak in a lot of writing about gamedev. Which mostly-and especially here centers around the coding.

Sometimes I wonder if I have more the soul of like a webcomic artist but games are just so much extra clickety clackety...
One of the things of "why not class only" is because in America race matters a lot. I mean it quite literally: studies have shown simply having a black-sounding name makes you equivalent to a white-sounding name of an order of magnitude less qualification. In some cases black people with a college degree have job prospects similar to a white person with a felony record.
Ask HN: How can I build a good data development team for Government?
Throwaway account-I am an IT manager for a government organization in the US. I am trying to build a team of database developers.Obviously I cannot match FAANG and corporate salaries. Moreover we are a little behind the curve on tech stack although we are trying to get there.For example most of the work is in Oracle but we are taking early steps to move to AWS but it will start later.
What are some tips to find the right candidates who enjoy the job and will not get frustrated in 6 months and leave after months of background check and hiring?
It's not debatable, Harvard is a private entity. The fact they receive tax preference or federal funding and whether they should if the government considers their acceptance policy to be racist is a very different question than the one in the opinion, as far as I can tell.

And whatever debate could be held seems to be absent in the opinion, which is why I asked.
Taking an alternate perspective on this: this up-front cost issue is why government programmes to offset costs of installing renewables systems, and/or mandates for either new-construction or retrofit installation, are so critical.

Efficiencies of scale mean that individual homeowner or property-owner installations are not as effective as large-scale deployments, new-construction developments, and/or large-scale retrofits. But greasing the skids for new installation helps considerably to promote the technology.
It would follow a Bathtub Curve, so it would go down first, then up.

Weather had nothing to do with it. They had a warning light come on during landing that the nose gear had a safety issue, so they did another few passes, requested emergency services available at touchdown, and then did effectively a pretty normal landing (just holding the nose up a little longer than normal).
I hope that SO will accept your demands. You are doing a heavy lifting for them.
While I agree, those aren't the same thing.

C/S corporation status are two types of tax status for companies, whether regular corporations, benefit corporations, or even LLCs.

Benefit corporations are a type of corporation provided for by state law that has society and the environment as inherent beneficiaries of the company, along with the shareholders.

B corporations are a label B Lab (itself a not-for-profit corporation) gives to companies that comply with its ESG goals. It has nothing to do with its tax status or its legal obligations. B Labs requires amending the bylaws, but legally the shareholders are still supreme and there's nothing preventing the changes from being undone at any time.

I realize that that makes the name even more misleading though lol
In the scale of amounts of fuel aircraft carry, 30 minutes of fuel is "a couple of gallons". You don't want enough to overstress the airframe or fuel a massive conflagration if the tanks are compromised, but you also don't want so little that you've got no buffer in case something else goes wrong, and 30 minutes at cruise (or at the near-idle power settings used on approach, it isn't clear here) is a lot less at takeoff/go-around power.
Yeah, we really should have had FTL by 1125! You'll have to work overtime for the next sprint.

The best feature of the Java language, in my opinion, is that I can compile Java 4 code using JDK 17. This is what killed my enthusiasm for Python after Python 3 not being able to run Python 2 code without some special sauce. Backwards compatibility is just such a huge boon when you maintain applications that have been running for over 20 years.
