I think a lot of people don't understand that R&D is like flushing money down the drain until one day you happen to invent interplanetary teleportation.

It's hard to really grasp, kind of like insurance which I swear a lot of people also don't really get but in reverse (where you throw a lot of money seemingly down the drain until possibly the day where it completely makes up for it).

How do you tackle budgeting for something with zero guarantees? Not very easily.
They are. Computer was an occupation filled by humans long before it was mechanized.

>I'm not surprised by the comments here I know the type I was around them every day.

I think most of the comments here are acknowledging it as a skill, but that 99.99% of gamblers for those poker type card games aren't skilled. It's not mutually exclusive.

I'm sure it's like how Blackjack can be a skilled game (or used to be) but I doubt most clients are going in 21-style with a plan to count cards and find the hot tables.

I'm not saying that learning theory is bad. I love to learn it and I understand that traditional learning is a solid path for most people. What I'm saying is that it is not a prerequisite to play popular music, even in a complex instrument as the piano. Many people have now and in the past learned to play really well without knowing much more that the note names and the basic chord shapes. When it comes to jazz and improvisation, too much music theory will not necessarily make you a good player, and in fact it may hinder you ability to discover by yourself. Improvisation is about feeling the music and interacting with it, it is not about finding the best scale and writing the notes on paper.

What in the 16th Amendment do you think explicitly made any change to how the government can spend money?
Once you start to build something complex, you'll find have a well tested, reliable library to help manage the data and update the UI for you is tremendously valuable.

Another benefit of using a framework (especially a popular one) is it makes hiring / onboarding easier - a lot of candidates will already have experience with React / Vue / Angular.
> Right, which is why I followed up with a categorical and complete description of the problems with your nonsensical word salad.

Just because you disagree doesn't mean you have to be provocative and impolite. It's also against HN's rules BTW.

> Habeas corpus is the mechanism by which a person can report a suspected unlawful detention or imprisonment to a court,

You're making a distinction without making a difference. People were detained without charges or probable cause and were not allowed legal remedy.

> Obviously this has nothing at all to do with vaccines except in the fever swamps.

I was talking about lockdowns...

> Not therefore a right, got it.

Just repeating a statement won't make it true, it just makes you arrogant.

Informed consent directly derives from the right to bodily autonomy. It is such a basic right that if its blatant violation can be prosecuted regardless of jurisdiction. It is also protected by the 4h Amendment.

> What you're referring to as 'socialized' here is the government, which we as citizens and resident aliens agree to recognize in order to increase and defend the common good. For example, we agree to being policed, we agree to being taxed, we agree to being bound by laws, and we agree in particular in this case to working together to try to stop the collapse of healthcare systems, even if that is inimical to the political chances of the president at the time.

Actually "we" didn't "agree", what ever that means. The "common good" was never the foundation of the US, it was a Republic (thus power by and for the people) with limitations to protect individual liberties to limit the tyranny of the majority (the funding fathers were actually very critical of Athenian democracy BTW).

Taxes and police have their legitimacy through elected officials. But lockdowns and forced vaccination were put into place through edicts, the vast majority of whom were struck down by the Supreme Court, and thus never had the consent of the people nor respected individual rights.
The annoyance comes mostly from cheap USB gadgets not having serial numbers. Someone invent a cheap way to have a part of mass manufactured ROM contain entropy (fixed per device).
Don't tax authorities have an incentive to minimize tax returns and maximize taxes paid? Just like in for-profit companies, there's a temptation to employ dark patterns here.

These systems have been developed in other countries and I don't think this problem exists, even though it intuitively should.
...but with days of delay, where someone else is keeping the interest. And maybe charging a transaction fee.
This article feels incomplete and fragmented. So it fails to make and substantiate a real point, though a lot of the sentences/paragraphs would make great T-shirts!
Because elected reps believe that they need to support constituent businesses in addition to constituent people. And those constituent businesses spend more money to ensure they are heard.

I have often wondered if we could split the house in two: one for people and one for industries. This would force transparency and bring the primary issue of double speak and lobbying to the forefront. It would turn them into official cogs in our body politik instead of forcing reps to work and speak in a duality.
Can you clarify something? I thought FedNow was for settling up when I, as an ABC Credit Union customer, initiate a transfer of $5000 to you, a Chase customer. Now ABC needs to subtract it from my account, and if successful, tell the Fed to take money out of ABC's Fed account and put it into Chase's, and to tell Chase to expect $5000 (Transaction ID: XXXX?) and here's who it's for.

Does FedNow, or whatever batch job it is replacing, involve ABC telling FedNow "This is for a transfer from Jane Doe (SSN 123-45-6789) to Joe Bloggs (SSN 098-76-5432)"? As I imagined it, FedNow would only need to know what bank is sending and what is receiving.

> CTF is a hobby completely unrelated to professional affiliations. It's shameful of the Google employee in the bug tracker to partially dox and bring the researcher's employer into this.

That's not what happened. The TechCrunch article has a statement from the Apple employee: "It was reported on June 5th, through my company. Yes it was late, there are multiple reasons for that. I first had to find the person responsible, the report had to be signed off by people and then the person responsible was OOO."

The alleged "dox" occurred on July 7, long after the June 5 bug report to Google from Apple.
It may be my neurodivergence but “mindfulness” has long driven me up the wall. I’ve come to understand better what the nature of my intrusive thoughts are and why I can never make them go away but instead that I can change myself, possibly quite radically, by replacing them with something else.
Especially considering the USA didn't land humans on the moon just once, it did so six times over the course of three years. Twelve humans have walked on the moon.

It happened so often that public got bored of it and so funding for future missions was withdrawn. Now we've largely forgotten this fact.

It always astonishes me that people speak of THE moon landing, as though it only happened once. One of the greatest achievements of humanity and we undersell it. It would be like Ancient Egyptians thinking there was only one pyramid.

It's like a centralized exchange in which funds can be seized, censored, and the participating brokers are licensed. Nothing like bitcoin.
You forgot the part where you cover all of this up with ads that actively block you from reading any of it.
You are missing the point. The definition of free software focuses on the freedoms of the user, but these freedoms are not easy to verify against a specific software license. The practical aspect of the open source definition (which really is the Debian free software guidelines with the word Debian removed) is that it gives you a toolkit, ten criteria that a licence must fulfil to be considered free software. Importantly, when this definition was created, the alternative, the free software definition, was incomplete and lacked the freedom zero [0]. Even more importantly, that text apparently wasn’t widely known back then, and even Richard Stallman himself liked the DFSG as a definition of free software [1].

Are you certain a human is inspecting the image? Or is this “moderation” currently automated?

Yes obviously it “can” be done, I’m suggesting it won’t for long, because there’s a big difference between submitting something to the site mods versus submitting something that is anonymously exposed to the public.

I’m saying this as the owner of a site where I made the mistake of allowing crowd-sourced image content to be anonymously served to others. It didn’t take long before not only was there NSFW content, but there was also illegal content.

* edit OH BTW I only just noticed this site was created by IQ, who has already dealt with this exact issue on ShaderToy and had to restrict and remove user submitted images due to abuse! The decision to not show people’s images is almost certainly intentional and by design.

Even when offered a more competitive option, consumers love credit cards - the merchant gets soaked, while they get cash back. Given how the networks are, you'd have to have an unprecedented collusion of merchants to break the credit networks open.
I feel like I've seen a project just like this pop up almost every other day here on HN. Sorry for my ignorance, but how is this different when compared to other "LLM on your mac CLI" solutions nowadays? (please bear in mind I'm not up to speed with these sibling projects)

Is it mostly in the `Modelfile` approach with expandable models and quick setup?
Technically, the use of the software isn't compulsory. You can still fill out the physical tax forms and mail them in.

That said, I am solidly on board with the IRS just computing the taxes for taxpayers and sending them a bill. Taxpayers who dispute the bill can then just file their own taxes as normal.
I don't believe encryption should have intentional backdoors, but more because of the technical impossibility of doing this without introducing security risk. Your analogy doesn't really work, because what governments are arguing they should be able to do is break encryption and snoop only when given a warrant. They can snoop on in-person conversations when they get a warrant and the general public doesn't oppose that, even though they would not want to carry 24/7 recording devices that snooped on every conversation even in the absence of probable cause to be suspected of a criminal conspiracy.
yup, just found that, super neat, I am 100% interested in using this for other runtime validation...

It's interesting because I've always been under the impression the TS team was against the use of types at runtime (that's why projects like https://github.com/nonara/ts-patch exist), but now they're doing it themselves with this project...

I wonder what the performance overhead of starting up an instance of tsc in memory is? Is this suitable for low latency situations? Lots of testing to do...
The problem is not so much the concept, as how tricky it would be to add the loads back in at just the right rate to not trip some or all the generation back off again. Sure once you have enough generation and load already online, adding the rest is relatively straightforward. Still need to be careful, but after a certain point it would look to utility operators much like the usual work restoring loads and sources after a large area blackout.

The trickiness seems worst close to the very beginning when even relatively small misestimation of a chunk of load being restored would have a proportionally bigger impact. Many loads are not completely predictable, so presumably they would need to favor bringing some of the more stable loads online early so that normal variation from the loads that can only be predicted well in aggregate won't vary enough to trip everything back offline.
I interned briefly at a company which mainly built industrial control systems. One of its most interesting features (which is also very mind-bending if you're coming from any sort of typical programming ecosystem) is that every "rung" is evaluated in parallel. (As a physical relay-based control system would have back in the day.)

Very wild stuff.
It's not bad. The form actually says you don't have to calculate your tax and you can leave the remaining fields blank. The IRS will crunch the numbers and send a bill/refund. If your income is simple, that's a good way to file. If you made a mistake crunching that part yourself, they will correct it. If you get a refund or don't owe much, then it's not a big deal.

If you have choices (e.g. joint vs separate, itemized vs std deductible), then you want to crunch the numbers yourself so that you can make the best choice. You also need to be careful if you have reporting requirements that don't affect the tax total that year like IRA backdoors and AMT books.
I'd be inclined to put sufficient REM sleep ahead of exercise or diet.

Of course they were a waste. The reason we like them is because we didn't have to pay for them and we marvel at those who did. I like the moai on Easter Island; should we do more of that?

Perhaps. Now all that's left to you is to define "address." I suspect what you come up with would be entirely orthogonal to the US space program.

Not OP but Teslas I've seen around the Bay Area while driving around have Big Altima Energy. If someone's driving high above the speed limit, swerving through slower traffic like their life is in danger, or doing a U-turn on a two-lane street in the middle of rush-hour its usually a Tesla Model 3. On the other hand, where I grew up it always seemed to be Nissan Altimas that had this kind of energy. I think the stereotype is not really about individual drivers so much as its about the popularity of the vehicle and its performance characteristics.

Both the Nissan Altima and Tesla Model 3 sell very well and are entry level ("entry level" here meaning entry level for the class of vehicles one is looking for, there are entry-level Mercedes' for instance) sedans with power behind them. So you have a lot of them both on the road, and thus more people who likely treat them as disposable and thus drive them recklessly. Any car that is super popular usually is popular enough that enough of the wrong kind of drivers have it, and so you can start stereotyping them. I think Model 3s have a lot of the wrong kind of drivers on the road. Maybe many of them care about saving the environment but they don't drive like they care about the car.
Is it possible Ukraine isn’t entirely innocent? Sure we assume they are from our point of view, but that’s the nature of propaganda, how do you really know what is reality?
Either you bust monopolies, or this is what you get.

At this point, the US medical system has become a sequence of monopolies at every level. These are the consequences.

Every company with more than 20% market share in a vertical should split in half. Having 5 or 6 companies in every vertical would solve most of the monopoly problems.
If we spent half as much money helping people with recovery as we spend incarcerating them, there would be a lot of improvement. There are addicts that are tired of being addicts but can’t get help. I’m talking about in patient treatment plans where they can be monitored and assisted with various methods to deal with withdrawal.
That's still a problem, because a view can trigger multiple controller updates (perhaps across controllers!), which need to be batched so that the application data remains in a consistent state.

I guess you don't need any obscure packet inspection if you can just censor the clients and servers directly instead. This feels like the censorship equivalent of the wrench XKCD.

NASA was presumably an expensive way to get any inventions not related to space. You could just fund normal research, after all.

People similarly laud military research, but it's not as if you need the military to carry it out. Governments were just willing to fund the research as part of a military effort.
My memory of this time was that it wasn't seen as completely out of line. That said, I confess I was thinking this was another set of changes. Can't remember the specifics of them.

That said, without the swearing, this... is still a pretty harsh berating. And it was only called out because of the swearing, per the headline.

Edit: For the change in tone from him, that was also the zeitgeist of the year he made that commitment, as I recall. Not a bad one to make, but I am also not clear it has been followed up on. Would be very interesting to see an analysis on that front.
Miracles Not Magic
In order to distribute illegal material, you have to go public with it, i.e. contact strangers. One of those strangers is going to be a police agent or a snitch seeking favors from the police.

Sure you could limit yourself to known contacts, but that wouldn't make you rich nor would it create self-sustaining network.

Some interesting points here:

>I would like taxes to be due about 4 Tuesdays before the Election Day Tuesday.

Most people pay taxes in small increments every 2 weeks then get a refund around tax day, so your plan may not do what you think.

>I do want people to recognize that taxes and spending are linked

To your own point, they really aren't. [0]

>But do it with recent memory of having paid your taxes (assuming you are in the slight majority* who pay federal taxes on net)

To add some color on this [1]:

But, for the most part, people don’t pay income tax because they have little income. About 60 percent of non-payers make less than $30,000 and another 28 percent make between $30,000 and about $60,000.

Of the 72 million households that will pay no federal income tax this year, about 24 million, or roughly one-third, are age 65 or older.

Yeah. And with online banking apps, it's basically not worth anyone's time to do the handshake because depositing just isn't a big deal [ADDED: If there's an in-person transaction]. I use credit/debit/ACH 95%+ of the time but if that's not an option check is easy.
What does this add over llama.cpp? Is it just an "easier" way to setup llama.cpp locally?

If so, I don't really get it, because setting up llama.cpp locally is quite easy and well documented. And this appears to be a fork. Seems a bit fishy to me, when looking at the other "top" comments (with this one having no upvotes, but still #2 right now).

(llama.cpp's original intention is identical to yours:
The main goal of llama.cpp is to run the LLaMA model using 4-bit integer quantization on a MacBook¹)
