Can you explain this?
In rough order of priority (highest to lowest):

a) I do not believe that it produces useful-quality results for almost any of my use cases (Even if other concerns were addressed, I don't want to generate buggy code I then have to debug).

b) I believe many if not necessarily all generative AI models were trained unethically on copyrighted data

c) I am worried about the legal & copyright implications of using the tool to produce work products for my employer

d) I am concerned about the societal implications of the tool's existence, and how it's producing sub-human-scale work for (nearly) free, thereby eroding the market for a lot of human-produced output.

e) I dislike the amplified volume of low-quality content online over the last few months.

f) I'm not a fan of OpenAI as a business or a potential monopoly
>Adulthood is a hard transition and some people need more time

I live in the US, and everyone in my social network (age 40 to 60) was booted out of their parents house around age 18. And my piers in their 50s appear to be doing the same with their kids. Adulthood is the original "fake it till you make it" situation. Parenting is as well. Assuming there's no health issues at play, parents are doing their children a disservice by not allowing them to become adults.

Chinese Hackers Target Military Utilities in Bid to Disrupt U.S. Taiwan Response
The provider entered an agreement to give the health insurer the lowest publicly available price, which is usually how all insurance companies operate.

How would it work if the insurance company’s vendors charged the insurance company more than they charged random people off the street?
>Just because you don't see something, doesn't mean it isn't there.

I'm glad we agree.

As for extreme transphobia: the one thread most immediately does have an ignorant person making stupid claims about a boy liking dolls leading to transition. But is that extreme on the spectrum? And is it not downvoted, indicating that more people disagreeed than agreed with them?

It seems, at least, that said ignoramus actually believes what they are saying, rather than trolling. In which case I think it's good to leave their comment up to let people tear it down.

Removing non-troll comments solely because we dont like them will only drive the user further into bitterness and self assuredness by not being challenged, while onlookers like me are less likely to know they exist or how wrong they are.

FWIW, thanks for the explanation of related virtualization tooling.
I'm looking forward to playing with the M1 Mac apps/cli-tools that will probably come out for this in the next week or so! Being able to run this stuff locally is a lot of fun.
You're doing both. The TOR users would probably not be happy, but if you don't want them you don't want them. Now do you want to ban TOR users (probably doing illegal stuff) or HN users (mostly just normie SWEs)?

Pointer dereferencing is a missed opportunity to use a postfix operator. If a* was the way to dereference, then a*.foo() could have been the way to call a function on a pointer.
Are you sure?

Apple's USDZ viewer didn't support true independent second UV channels and multiple texture transforms per material, rather it makes a bunch of assumptions that are much more restrictive than the USD format.

That is why that example is messed up I understand.

For example these caveats which screw things up tremendously:

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/realitykit/validat...

"RealityKit supports a single UV Set in iOS 15 and macOS 12. In iOS 16 and macOS 13, it supports two."

"RealityKit supports only a single packed texture per material. You can, however, reference multiple scalar channels within a single texture."

"RealityKit supports USD texture scaling except for normal map textures."

"RealityKit supports a single UsdTransform2d per material. If a material contains multiple UsdTransform2D instances, the renderer will use the first one it finds."
Looks nice!

> I come out of a top 5 Grande École after having done my classes préparatoires in the highly famous high school of Boulogne s/s Mer

The system is utter garbage as was pointed by Bourdieux decades ago. It’s not even cheap which could have been its sole redeeming quality. Social mobility indicators in France are even worse than in the UK, a case study of what not to do.

As someone on the hiring side, Github projects only matter when they show impact via serious industry adoption (this is not sufficient, leftPad won't get you hired).

The problem is that a Github repo is too much time an effort to evaluate on technical merits. And even if the work is good, how fast can you do it? Some people turn out good work at 1/3 the rate their peers, I don't want to hire them. Between other parts of the evaluation I can give the repo 30-60 minutes max, just not enough time.
I'll admit, to me the point that the author considers 90% is where I consider 99%.

IMO, getting from 90% (it works and does the right thing with any valid input) to 99% involves things like

- paying down all technical debt

- handling malformed or adversarial inputs, including all edge-cases, "reasonably"

- better documentation; tutorials, how-tos, explainers, and references. In multiple formats (don't forget your `man` page).

- checking for low-hanging perf/memory wins.

- interface polish. Is there a long-running operation that might benefit from a progress bar? Or some other indicators which aren't strictly necessary, but would help users model of the state of the program?
The issue is that Apple doesn't support multiple texture transforms per material, rather it only supports one.

Those who say "trust the science" in the typical way it seems to be meant are rarely people who understand what science is. They're merely virtue signalling fan boys and groupies trying to demonstrate their loyalty to the regime. Because that's why they say it. If the regime said "don't trust the science", they'd say that, but scientism happens to be the state religion.
> I wonder how tractable it would be for the compiler to suggest when your API needs Rc or boxing without being just as wrong in other cases.

A lot of the cases I've seen so far require some kind of global analysis, that we don't have today. But if we can have some kind of local analysis that will be reliable for a subset of cases, I'd jump at the opportunity to add it.

> I think now that too many lists is part of the book, maybe the compiler can link to that in some cases, hah.

That's not a bad idea, we already link to the book when it seems appropriate.

Chiropractic is a pseudoscience without any provable benefits. At best its placebo, at worst you die from it. It's literally a big scam made by a serial snake oil salesman, that has embedded itself in our health systems.

There are two problems with this. Diffusion models work on a single rule of thumb: if you keep adding small, noisy gaussian steps to a "nice" distribution many times, you get uniform gaussian at the end.

So, for text: a) what is the equivalent of a small, noisy step? and b) what is the equivalent of a uniform gaussian in language space?

If you can solve a and b, you can make diffusion work for text, but there hasn't been any significant progress there afaik.
NASA Needs Programmer Fluent in 60-Year-Old Languages (2015)
A manager once told me he'd never hire a PhD because once they complete the specialized work we hire them for, they inevitably get put on something outside their specialty - like your linked xkcd - and then their acceptance as experts along with that behavior causes real problems.

Another time I had an older PhD moved to my area (outside his) where we were trying to meet a number of objectives. He said in a meeting that "it is mathematicaly impossible" to achieve one of our performance goals. I quietly went back to the lab and ran my new control algorithm and documented hitting that goal. Never refuted him, just filed the incident away in my head.
> I don't mean to be a downer on this, and I do think there are solutions... but I think 90% of the problems in healthcare aren't technological ones but are navigating large, entrenched systems that have very little incentive to change.

Having led provider operations and data systems in various settings for the last decade, this is absolutely true. I find a lot of the 'healthcare is ripe for disruption' comments miss that most of the work isn't going to be fixed by some neat javascript or whatever.

To your note on CPT codes, I'd also bet that, if a given provider is seeing ACA or MA patients, their billing systems and payer interactions will also be more complicated, in terms of coding (diagnosis and procedure), in order to satisfy risk adjustment needs. It's effectively impossible to incent a provider to use two entirely different systems, depending on who the patient is.
Have any of your PRs been reviewed by either?
If you get a bill you don’t agree with, just don’t pay it. If you want to spend the time on it, you can ask for full itemized bill and when they send you something, tell them you want more detail. You can let it go to collections and settle for a lesser amount. Or just ignore it, unlikely anyone is going to credit bureau or garnishing wages over less than $5k.

Only do above with doctor you don’t plan to see again or anesthesia/lab company. Your insurance company will have a list of doctors in network, print it out and ask for front office staff to verify over email.
It's weird that no one makes the same statement with respect to stocks. What's the difference?

I went a private hospital ER in Portugal and it worked exactly this way since I didn't have (Portuguese) health insurance. I was there a couple hours, they gave me an IV, ran a blood panel, and wrote me a prescription. I then paid the cashier €250 and that was the end of it.

Additionally, the visit actually solved the problem, which is something that rarely happens when I go to the doctor in the US.

Some advice I got a while ago about detecting fraud through stripe is you should probably train your own fraud detection model if you’re serious about limiting it and have enough volume. Even something like a simple logistic classifier would work. Stripe radar isn’t tuned to the specifics of your business, and there are other signals you can account for (like which products they’re buying, how long it takes them to buy after opening your site, etc). Custom Radar rules work to an extent.

I get that a lot of indie businesses probably don’t have the resources/want to do this, so there are solutions you can buy, but they’re expensive and mostly targeted at high volume merchants anyway. Maybe stripe launches a fine-tunable radar product someday?
what're some other interesting "incremental games" out there these days?

for me at least, just seeing numbers go up and get huge (Swarm Simulator) doesn't really do it for me. part of what makes Universal Paperclips so good is that, like Candy Box, a huge part of the joy is uncovering entirely new gameplay systems as you progress. A Dark Room was neat in that it brought the idea of a coherent narrative that you (sometimes subtly) uncover as you progress, too.

I feel like there's a lot of room left to explore in the space: different mechanics and systems to explore (outside of just clicking and upgrading), the possibility of cooperation with other players... the browser-based incremental game is pretty versatile in what it could do.

one of the most interesting one of these I've seen is Parameters (http://nekogames.jp/swf/prm.swf — download & play locally with Ruffle or some other SWF player). it's like an abstract RPG where you go on quests (or something) by clicking squares to fill them up. it's kinda crazy to me that nobody seems to have iterated on this concept.

The author is wrong about this.

Banks don't choose to accept incorrect name, invalid CVC, invalid exp date or wrong billing address. It's up to the user (in this case him) to enable CVC Check and AVS in his payment processor to fail payments that don't pass this check. It's also up to him/Stripe to implement 3D secure and trigger it.

I firmly believe that guys like Dawkins/Harris/Tyson have done substantial harm to a certain kind of person's perception of the world. One can quite easily see the worldview they espouse, in the broadest sense, is compatible with the worst of human tendencies and ideologies. I find people can gain utterly monstrous views about fellow human beings through the superiority they earn for simply "believing in Science."

This year, I've been trying a variation of "morning pages" where I'll take a 15-30m walk and speak with myself. I use a pair of old Beats around my neck, which have surprisingly good noise cancellation, and Otter for transcription (moving to a local Whisper workflow soon).

I've A/B tested this against using a text editor, with the control as doing nothing in the morning, and at least for me personally, I find I'm practically itching to sit down and write more or edit my spoken thoughts before I'm even finished with my walk.

I'm generally more motivated and productive on days I begin with this routine. I think it's all about getting momentum for your brain; once there's a flow of output, it tends be much easier to direct or filter that flow in whichever directions you choose.

I still work to reduce friction and lower the activation energy when sparking output, but there is very much a discipline component here. I know plenty of executives that use daily standups or assistants in lieu of a mental morning routine... I wonder if future personalized language models may help?
Well, you obviously aren't the type of contributor they target. Clearly there's a lot of people who don't care about these made up rules.

If you are just working with data, you can avoid unsafe completely. The issue is that for performant code, you often have to tap into linux libc stuff which doesn't guarantee safety. For example, if you try to to write something with packet_mmap for fast processing of traffic, you will have to use unsafes.

Look at the Firecracker codebase. There are a lot of unsafe calls into libc.

There is also a runtime reference counter which takes up cycles since it has to operate at run time.
Today I'd still call it screens, as there's a default that xterm uses of 80x24, damn near the 80x25 in DOS years. I suspect xterm used 80x24 as a terminal program would normally use the last line for info, like baud rate.

Rather than it being greediness by a class of individuals, in my view, it is that capitalism rewards greediness, and sometimes it obligates you to be greedy when you are just an employee or selling a service. People are inserted in a system composed by many layers that incentivize and obligate greediness.

Your causality chain doesn't track for me. Here in Denmark we have the same consumer protections, the ability to do chargebacks and the (government funded) guarantee that the consumer does not lose any money if their bank account is drained. Yet we still have very strong protections at the time of purchase with mandatory chip-and-pin as well as 3D secure (which replaced Verified by Visa).

I don't really think there's a rational reason for why you don't have better card security in the US. You just seemingly don't want it.
