Interesting thought! I think it's inarguable that online discourse is intentionally argumentative in some cases, at least as I understand it that's the definition of trolling and it's trivial to find people who self-identify as trolls. Several people have AirDropped bomb threats on airplanes [0] just for the perverse joy of causing panic, and I'm sure there are many more causing intentional panic on every other available platform and venue.

I don't mean to suggest that you believe that there is a simple explanation for this, but I think that like most phenomena there are probably many causes. Like perhaps elite overproduction [1], and the fact that the Gini coefficient [2] and its anti-democratic consequences in the developed world are nearing the level right before the revolutionary period of the 18th century.

Puberty blockers are claimed to be non-permanent. However, that can't be verified at present [0]. In light of that, such a claim being made in the first place is definitely medical malpractice of some sorts.

Also, I do not think medical sources from America are reliable for this topic. The UK and the EU have moved away from gender-affirming care and designated it an experimental treatment. Medical and psychological associations in the US have been captured by such activists and are pushing false rhetoric such as "the science is settled" and "we have medical consensus" (note the misrepresentation here; consensus does not imply evidence-based).

US have a problem where radical activists have captured many influential cultural institutions. Anyone who disagree is automatically designated a "right-winger", "conservative", "white supremacist", "oppressor", "racist", "sexist", "homophobe", "transphobe", etc. This should be obvious to anyone looking from outside the anglo-sphere. For things to get to the point where US can't even recognise what a medical scandal is is frankly appalling, especially when their counterparts in Europe is able to do so.

Do you think it's some giant conspiracy that everyone who works (or worked, in my case) at Red Hat has to go around claiming autonomy while secretly having their puppet strings pulled from IBM?
Most egregious in these practices is that the initial (legal) hires are typically the only ones speaking English, so they have no clue how much is being "skimmed" from their own labor... and their immigration status ensures compliance with status quo.

No matter a $250,000 nor $2,500,000 will prevent this in my Southern experience. I know in the South Dakota of my childhood memories, the "illegals" were undocumented Russians (not brown).
I am fixing some issues, trying to get more blogs from the post, so do it a few times in a day.

And hope at some point to actually build something larger from that. I love RSS and this is the best way to discover new content. I actually already have found a few interested blog posts, links, information.
I believe this contains excerpts from the original transcript, at least. I'm not sure if this is the same document I read, but if not then it's close!
This is equally as dangerous.
The best concrete example is that old jailbreaks no longer work. That's proof that something has changed.
The article itself says that there are multiple meanings of "character". One of which refers to a persons reputation and can be traced back to "the Greek charassein, meaning “to sharpen, cut in furrows, or engrave.”
Moving what's basically an ultralight carriage at 20mph with some milk in it is a very different problem than moving a delivery van full of packages that goes highway speeds.

The milk float replaced one horse. The internal combustion engine on a delivery vehicle represents 160 horses.
DOS is easy to emulate - and dosbox does a great job of it, even in a web browser.

Windows 3.1, 95, 98, Me are less easy to emulate.

Note that that seems to have impacted the preservation of old games and programs. Plenty of dos games are all over the web and still quite popular, yet most stuff from the Win 9x era has almost entirely vanished due to the difficulty of running it on modern hardware.

Archivists take note - if you want something to live for a long time, it needs to be easy to emulate. And in turn, that means it needs to be both very common, and have simple API's so someone in the future can be bothered to make and maintain an emulator.
Unfortunately the AMD MI300 will not be cheap, Intel's Xeon Max GPUs are more-or-less limited to HPC land until at least 2025, and Intel's Gaudi line is apparently being discontinued.

There are some worrying reports about Intel Arc gen 2, and AMD is just matching price/VRAM with Nvidia these days.

Some of the AI startups are really exotic/business scale only (like Cerebras) or MIA in the consumer/cheap cloud space (like Tenstorrent).

...There are some rumors of an M2 Pro Like APU from AMD/Intel? I hate so sound so grim, but thats about the only positive news I got.
l-citrulline is better than L-arginine I believe. It's better absorbed, causes more nitric oxide production and doesn't cause the problems l-arginine does at higher doses (This is from my crappy memory but I am sure pubmed will be able to back this up. I am not in a space I can easily research sources again at the moment).
Kudos to the K&P writers for choosing such a representative dish then, it adds another level to the sketch that I’ll wager the average American audience member missed. To me, the two recipes the cafe owner describes sound exactly the same (the male diner even says as much), which I suppose is the point.
Randoms with strange comment history come asking for examples over and over too, regardless of how many examples have been given in the thread or original context.
“Known for” mostly stands for “western media paints them as”.
I can think of one: If they can improve AI such that it doesn't cite fictional case study, poor people might get actual/better representation in court. The majority of court cases aren't particularly novel or unique (driving without a license, speeding, public intoxication etc). If we can train AI to do a better job than overworked public defenders, we might actually take a step in the right direction towards giving poor people a fighting chance in court.
But nVidia was building Tegra stuff well before the switch was even someone's wet dream.

I think they would be more conservative, to an extent. My question is if they work out long term? If you are able to take riskier loans and sell them off from an area, how long until you have nothing but high risk left that nobody will touch? And does that leave places depleted?
I always say the best way to solve Zero Tolerance policies is to threaten to replace the management with a minimum wage box-checker. If we aren't getting any discretion or thought why pay more for it? You would see quite the shift from acting like lazy ass-covering automatons.
Is WSA even available without a beta version of W11 and without a Microsoft account? Haven't heard a lot about it since they previewed it.
What is your take on making metaverse experiences that work with conventional tech?

For instance on Apple Vision I think I should be able to use Facetime or Zoom w/ desktop and phone users. Sometimes I want to share what I am doing on VR with others on my TV. I want to make objects and spaces associated w/ artworks and have them linked by QR code and give people a premium experience with AR hardware and with phones. How do I accomplish that?
What a difference. GitLab is down -> They will tell on their status page that they have problems. Unlike other cloud providers which when are obviously down, they won't change anything on status page.
Meta could become even more dominant in social media with Threads
Because the Visonect devices and software are meant for commercial and business customers as information displays that are centrally managed, not for use as a consumer product, and is designed around those use cases. That somebody bought one and repurposed it for a hobby art project doesn't change that.
interesting timing, I've been thinking about _why lately; Brett Victor's recent update https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36596095 gave me _why vibes.

a thing I realized recently is that _why's disappearance ends up making his work more "Poignant" - the tech stuff washes away, but the story lives on. In that sense, it's a success.

if you look at old technology, the descriptions and documentation tend to outlast the artifacts. I like to imagine us as stage performers - any given implementation of a Shakespeare play only lasts a couple hours, but the structure of it is timeless. Perhaps we should all be writing more, implementing less.

also, it's always good to consider what fame is, and what it does to people. In an attention economy, we imagine that fame is wealth - but it's clearly not so straightforward
One of main uw campus, Madison, doesn't allow cs masters students. You are brought in as a PhD then allowed to leave when you've achieved your masters. This also causes attrition rates in those programs to skew low. Walked gutted a lot of funding for the programs and made it so the university couldn't find new sources of revenue. These factors definitely impacted the ability for students to finish phds

My life only got better after I quit school at 15. At the end, I had so much outside distraction, that I couldn't put up the front at school anymore. I just needed sometime free from chaos.
Huh?

The same exact prompts from February are leading to significantly degraded responses. I've proven it to myself dozens of times.
I believe that Glassdoor exists almost purely because salary information is not public. While company reputation and reviews are of interest, the salary information is likely much more a driver of traffic.

And based on my attempted use of the site, Glassdoor is unreliable and (intentionally) misleading.

Even at the most basic level, their UI flatly lies about what data they possess. If you search a company, in the salary column it will show a number which is designed to suggest a number of salary data elements available. Honestly I cannot say what that number actually means as it seems to have no value at all. Specifically, it will say 5 or 8 or some other small but non-zero number... and yet there are zero visible salary records for the company (even if you are a contributor of information and thus deemed to be allowed to view other information on the site).

I expect Glassdoor is like the many dating sites on the internet - full of fluff and false/artificial information so the site appears to be valuable and worth visits.

If we ever reach a point where company position salaries are public on a broad scale, Glassdoor will fade into obscurity.
No. I have a hacked kindle that's been sitting in a drawer for years. The custom image it's displaying looks the same as when I set it.

AI will take some jobs, but there is another risk. It's far more likely that they "de-skill" a certain aspect of work so it becomes less creative and more mundane, more easily replaceable. The goal is to turn creative work into something like a position on an assembly line.

The problem isn't technology, it's in who it benefits. Productivity gains could benefit everyone. We could all get more time off, for example. Instead, those gains make a small number of people extremely wealthy and everyone else more miserable.
Thanks for the reply. I originally started filling out the notebook without assuming this since I was getting Clue/Cluedo vibes where you don’t need to enter one room to get to another technically. But this is cool.

Are you a huge fan of murder mysteries?
>A bank serving a single town goes down with the town

This isn't necessarily a bad thing from the perspective of the town.
This was one of many gripes when I went from Android to iPhone. Holy crap, every day there was some necessary update and I had to sign into my apple ID + be plugged in at 2am or something.

Every time I unlocked that phone it would bother me.

That, a slower response time(might have been due to animations), not having widgets, and some buggy official apps like the podcast app, and I bailed from iPhone pretty quick.

I admittedly was so excited to unbox and give Apple all my personal information. Weird.
Immigration is to keep the wages down. Also, third world immigration is preferred because those immigrants are more tolerant of crap wages, crap working conditions and crap existence lifestyle than domestic workers.

If the elites really wanted more people they could increase the incentives for domestics to have children.
What Is an Effect in Functional Programming
Speaking of addiction, relapses are never important decisions. Relapses are taking the wrong path (subconsciously because of habits and very strong neural pathways) at one of the thousands of different crossroads you come across in your daily life. This is why addiction is so terrible.

The first few days, the hardest ones, every single thing that happens to you (had a bad day, stranger frowned at me, stubbed my toe) is weighed and a decision is made. For a seasoned addict, many of these events have the automated response of ingesting your drug of choice.

Anecdote: I've quit smoking and any form of nicotine 3.5 years ago. I don't miss it. I have not relapsed once. Yet to this day, there are moments where I catch myself feeling that something is missing. That I have forgotten something important I had to do. A little soul searching later, and it's apparent I am just feeling that a cigarette right now be really nice. It completely sneaks up on me, but the first few months this happened dozens of times a day, the first few days even more. If your autopilot makes the wrong choice just once, you're back to square zero.

Most of our life, we're in the passenger seat.

Are you implying that old translations did not imbibe their own meanings to works?
No matter how much money they pump into it there is a finite number of GPUs. Money can’t make GPUs appear out of thin air. If they’re faced with the choice of lowering quality slightly or turning away new customers, it shouldn’t be surprising if they choose lowering quality.
yes great stuff
One might consider the democratic elections of school boards and governments a form of competition, however antiquated it may be.

Cement is not a great material for building a house. It is weak in compression (normally made up for by using a lot of it), it has terrible insulation, and it is hard to modify when you want to make a change. 3d printing of buildings is a niche and I predict it always will be.
I do not ever wish to be sued for libel, again; so instead, I will encourage you to learn about GPT2's specific training dataset, primarily upon one specific social media's contents (public and/or private. I'll let you decide).
> This specific repair scenario is not dangerous

I believe you, but I also know I'm not qualified to examine whether or not the repair in question is the non-dangerous one you're describing or the lethal one that looks pretty similar. I have all kinds of respect for you for being able to fix your own stuff, but even if I think I know what I'm doing, I'm still going to pay somebody who definitely knows what he's doing to do it for me.
My not at all informed opinion:

You concern isn’t about some sort of side-effect of the Oxitec treatment, but rather your worry is that their solution does exactly the opposite of what it’s trying to do. Just based on this I’m skeptical. Also numbers wise, if some fraction of “Friendly Males” are actually female, or the self-limiting gene is disrupted due to environmental factors, assuming the majority of the friendly males have their self-limiting gene in tact then it’ll still have an overall positive effect. I don’t think the presence of some “defective” (or rather, not defective) mosquitos will off-set the presence of all the other ones working as intended.

I’m also assuming it’s straightforward to measure the effect of this treatment on the environment. It should be easy to confirm this really is having the desired effect. I think.
I keep the accounts separate. If I want to listen to music while using my work computer, I use my phone. I only do work on my work computer.

I've seen people unintentionally leak personal info that they did not want their employer finding out by work and personal mixing things, either through carelessness or raw stupidity. Don't sign up for Ashley Madison with your work email or text your sugar baby from your work iPhone, don't download porn or buy drugs on the dark web with your work laptop.

Just don't do it.
I'm at a point now where I think this has just reached "conspiracy" levels. No amount of reasonable evidence could dissuade the people who think that IBM is micromanaging Red Hat, to the point where they are forcing (over the objection of the people who work on Fedora) the addition of some sort of privacy preserving telemetry to the product. When you get to the point of "all the Red Hat people that say Red Hat is independent are lying! They don't know what really goes on, but I (completely unaffiliated and viewing from a distance) know the truth!" I don't think there's anything more you can do.
I wonder with OpenAI patching jailbreaks they must do that by making the ChatGPT prompt larger. With a larger prompt I would assume that ChatGPT must require more attention on not being jailbroken and less on logic or producing the best output.
> if the bar loses money each month you're still owed a paycheck

Only until the bar stops existing. You're on the hook for business continuity whether you're the employer or the employee. Lex Fridman and Richard Wolff discussed this: https://youtu.be/o0Bi-q89j5Y?t=2984

Co-ops are indeed the closest thing we have to escaping capitalism in America. However they don't grow very quickly if at all, for the very reason that they aren't efficient at extracting value to fuel growth.
Also SuperTux! Great mario-like game that I played on linux before it was available on android.
I don't post a ton to HN, much more of a daily lurker, but I'm surprised this post isn't a bit more popular given the builder nature of HN and that there's not a ton of hardware posted...and it's kind of cool / different.

I'm a big nerd, but I'm wondering if HN is too nerdy for this? Maybe we'll get more traction on some relevant subreddits?
Look im a uneducated guy so I might use the wrong terms. I suspect these work like usb cables and you negotiate a rate of charge between the charger and car (that requires some energy but not enough to hurt anyone) and then the device internally flips a switch to enable charging.

If it was just live all the time I don't see how you bill anyone, they could just plug in, that also seems unsafe if say the cable is damaged or something.
i think ultimately this will not be entirely possible. if a company posts transcripts with real names of people that can be damaging for the people (they moght misbehave simply due to company culture, pressure not visible through the open process etc.) which then would give a company a cheap way out (emplyee scapegoat). since this is a possibility, i think employees amd unions etc. would resist. despite if it was an honest afair it would be awesome, and that (possible but improbable) future looks super cool :)
>Maybe I should write up a blog post on this stuff.

Please do. And post it to HN. It could inspire some distro maintainers.
Having a competitor that seemingly refuses to compete is pretty damn lucky. There's not a single thing nVidia could have legally done to make that happen.

IANAL but my dignity's for sale at pretty low prices. Hell, get a few tequila shots in me and you can have it for free.
The quality seriously degraded overnight a few months ago... it was quite abrupt and obvious to those who use it regularly.

It's not surprising, they were probably running the model at a huge and ultimately unacceptable loss. But they should really offer a higher paid tier to access the previous capabilities... not drop them entirely. Many would pay far more than $20/month to access a marginally but meaningfully better model.

EDIT:
Many being dismissive of LLMs don't even seem to use them. Providers are vastly overvalued from an investment perspective, but the utility is very real. To say the loss in capability is just an "illusion" is clearly wrong to anybody who actually uses it.
If project is 80% done client's won't dump the contractor because they require few extra weeks and materials..

Same as with software really.

The external factors are also a thing, material shortages or finding something unplanned that needs fixing (for renovations)
Hi, thanks for the feedback!

> That sounds great! But what actually happened was I clicked through clue after clue about person X being in room Y at time Z until I eventually got told what the murder weapon wasn't three times in a row. I didn't feel like I could exercise any caution or strategic thinking; it was just "Nope, this isn't enough information" over and over until "Yes, this is now enough information".

I need to think about this, but for sure the clues will be refined to encourage this. Right now, there are only a couple of types of clues and they don't feel very organic.

> At the point where I thought I had enough information, I realised I hadn't been consistent in how exactly I was using the notebook: does a tick in the "9:15" box means "They entered at 9:15" or "They left at 9:15"? The boxes really need to correspond to the times they're in the rooms, rather than the instants they move between (so either labelled with a range: 9:00-9:15, 9:15-9:30, or move the labels so they sit in the gaps in between).

I need to think about this. English is not my first language and it could be possible that some sentence are misleading to native speakers.

> Also the "How to Play" link isn't openable in a new tab (because it's handled by javascript), and if you open it normally and go back to the main page you lose all your progress

I should fix this, thanks!
