We've become so desensitized to spam and robocalls due to the scale of the problem - but these should absolutely be treated as attempted theft. If there were a gang going door to door trying to con elderly or otherwise gullible people into giving them thousands of dollars, there would be task forces formed and police patrols on every block. Instead, since it happens over the internet and on the phone, we give it benign names and treat it like a minor hassle and let everyone fend for themselves.

How did we become "okay" with having most of the communication that reaches people be malicious? What is Federal law enforcement doing? Why the hell hasn't the FCC nuked these companies' ability to operate? Who is lobbying for this shit?
The latter link had a major thread at the time:

We definitely want HN to credit the original sources and (even more so) researchers but I'm not sure what the best move here would be, or whether we need to change anything.
Right its not like anyone has operationalized Llama 2 or there aren't hundreds of repos for inference servers and the likes. /s
no (are these comments a self-selecting population of desk calculator users?)

I use "bc" actually. I should probably figure out a better solution, but it has worked for quick calculations for me.
A reasonable point on the spectrum between "child labor is legal" and "government mandates color of post-it notes in offices" is "People should be allowed to work from home for a job that can be done from home"
Yes, true, let me unpack that then:

- purity as in the sample is uniformly constructed of the right atoms but they are not in the right configuration

vs

- purity as in the sample contains atoms that shouldn't be there in the first place

and finally

- purity as in: the sample that purportedly did show room temperature superconductivity turns out to be the impure one and that impurity is so poorly understood that we currently can not replicate it accurately, but a test by an independent lab of the sample would verify the properties as advertised.

All of these are possibles, and not mutually exclusive.
There isn’t anything really. I drank the koolaid and I lived in my mail for decades. My inbox has 100000s emails and my life is there. Alternatives I tried, for instance outlook, fastmail and others simply die when I turn the hose there. And that’s just new email, not import which I need too, of course. Gmail doesn’t flinch and is always fast.
Wow, this is chilling.
Have there been any since? I'd say the devastation shocked even those who pulled the trigger
Burglary going down after 2020 ?

Nah, maybe only if people just stopped reporting (because Police won’t do anything).
The syntax of the language changes every version in non-backwards-compatible ways.

If you have a couple scripts, sure, maybe you're not affected. But when you buy a company that shat out 90kloc of python and then all the employees quit, it's not a happy day.

And sure... I shouldn't have used those features. I get it. I'm the one who's bad because I'm calling your baby ugly. Even though I wasn't the one that originally wrote that code.

Though I did write some code that used package variables. And then the syntax for package variables changed, but that was an easy fix. And then the scope of package variables changed to be class variables, which is totally fine, but harder to find. Then the syntax changed again, but in a way that made it harder to fine. And then the debugger stopped working if you enabled async io for a few versions.

Python is for total amateur code fluffers.
Constantly, its a TI office calculator.

I do circuit design/trouble shooting and very often scribble stuff down on paper and solve with a basic calc.

Historically cold war proxy wars were unlikely to escalate as even when a major power had troops on the ground it was on behalf of another country and also we seem to have had sensible leaders.

Ukraine does differ as a major power is involved in its own name.

Current completion rates for doctoral program hovers around 56%. And that's with a huge gating process filtering out unqualified candidates. The idea that this will become a norm is just not realistic. A Bachelor's degree is averaging six years now, a Masters another two/three and a PhD ten. Expecting people to spend 18-20 years to achieve a PhD just goes against all trends unless the three degrees become seriously degraded in standards.
that's almost literally the definition of noise.

I'm saying the results are useless because the noise floor is obscuring any interesting behavior (if any).

Some people are saying "well, the Tc is 160K, so this result is invalid"--the way I see it, the Tc is not 160K because the test setup is so noisy so you're not really seeing any superconductivity at any temperature (not because it doesn't exist, but because their test setup is shitty)
So far, the most reported downside is that withdrawals are slow for ACH transfers, though certainly not CD maturity slow. The terms of service were recently updated to include wording that withdrawals may be slow.

Yep. Most or at least many jobs exist purely to make the shareholders of companies more money by essentially exploiting people. Sure some of that is selling people what they want - but for the large part it’s exploitation and of little benefit to us socially.
Exactly this. I moved from Seattle to rural Whatcom County for a year, then out onto my sailboat for a year. It's been a great reset, but I'm now headed back to either a quiet neighborhood of the outskirts of Seattle proper, or maybe one of the suburbs/exurbs that still has a proper downtown and isn't just a bedroom community, and it's entirely for social reasons. Life in the boonies solo is hard, and the dating pool in your 20s is barely a drop, forget a puddle.
I still think Urbit has a chance.
It could be a right. Couple centuries ago, factory workers had to work seven days a week, for a total of seventy hours a week. It is not far fetched that working from home could become a right, like getting some rest came to be.
None of these comments seem relevant to TFA, which is specifically about card-not-present fraud.

Chip and PIN doesn't work for internet payment.

Bank transfers don't work well internationally.

It is trivial to turn on AVS (address verification) and CVV, but it can result in more declined-yet-legitimate transactions. Sometimes that outweighs the fraud risk that these catch.

The responsibility for fraud is pushed to the merchant, not the customer. Yes, customers pay higher prices because merchant fraud gets passed on eventually, but only in the sense that all fraud costs get passed on to consumers eventually.

>There seems to be a really strong disdain on HN for AdTech in general,

The ads aren't the problem, the targetting and the granular privacy invading data collection practices it implies.

It's not about "fuck small businesses" at all but rather that I'd love to scroll through some content without my 100ms pause over a specific post influencing what I see in future and thus shaping the reality I see.

That's how we got to a position where the various "factions" in society are seeing so different realities that to each the other seems unreasonable and they can't understand why the others don't see their (to them) obviously correct perspective. Adtech is actively contributing towards societal splits.
What about the engagement maximizing algorithms of the last decade plus which have seemingly helped fracture mature democracies by increasing extremism and polarization? Seems like we already have examples of companies using AI (or more specifically machine learning) to maximize some arbitrary goal without consideration for the real human harm that is created as a byproduct.
Musician here. While I agree with you that there is a nearly endless heap of music to dig through, I think it's interesting to think about the possibility of hearing genre crossovers and styles that don't yet exist.

As an aside, a lot of musicians seem to dislike this kind of technology, but I never saw music as a competition. I don't care if some inexperienced kid is generating bangers from his bedroom even though he can't play a single instrument. It's just something else to listen to. I write music for me.
'Orthodox' is an interesting qualifier here.. and with it I am inclined to say 'no'. But saying that is more a comment on the fraught history of humanity, rather than an agreement on the more reductive or banal point you want to be making here.

But even if I concede to maybe a more charitable reading of your question, that any conceivable worldview could be compatible with facism or whatever, it doesn't mean that some can't be worse than others! And, IMO, this one is definitely on the more compatible side of the spectrum.

But totally respect your opinion if you want argue about degrees here, because either way any given ideology is substantially determined and sustained from material conditions, social relations, etc, anyway; its always more a symptom than a problem itself.
Each of these are true in a sense. There's no turtle, but we are living on an "island" floating through space. The heavens do follow predictable, clockwork rules. Computer simulations are at least a good way to describe the universe.

Also the latin alphabet originated from the Euboean alphabet. Euboia is my home, i live here. My guesstimate is that all latin writers, wouldn't like to pay copyright for their use of our Greek letters in their everyday lives.[1]

I mean everyone who writes right now, into this HN thread, owns copyright to someone for the letters, amirite? That someone is me. Anyway, long story short, copyright was always a pretty ridiculous idea, alongside with patents of course, but it is only right now, with programs that can mimic writing style, painting style, speech style etc, that is obvious to everyone.

As a side note, there was a Greek private torrent tracker, blue-whitegt, which today would be a serious competitor to American companies like netflix or youtube, but it was shut down because, surprise surprise, there were some copyright issues, despite the site being a really quality service, a paid service of course. Blue-whitegt today would be a 10 billion to 100 billion company, instead all the profits aggregated to American companies.

When it comes to copyright, very soon everyone on the planet, will have monetizable torrent seeding. All of these copyright chickens, are coming home to roost!

It makes sense that the police exist to enforce existing power structures, yes. The people in power (wealthy individuals and organizations who can buy political capital, and the politicians that represent them) use the police as a threat of and actual tool of violence to subdue anyone that would challenge their power.

> Rather than declaring them part of a fascist plot, why not just try to think about where improvements can be made?

The first step to fixing a system is to understand it. Taking a valid description and twisting it in to an accusation of a "fascist plot" is a great way to ensure you will never understand the system in the way which is required to actually improve it.
I have an answer: regulate those unchecked money machines they serve (aka skim some money off the top), and spread the excess wealth among the rest of the citizens. Then those workers will be fulfilled by ensuring the public’s wellbeing, not just feeding corporate behemoths.
It would be nice to add some attribution but llama.cpp is MIT licensed so what Ollama is doing is perfectly acceptable. Also, Ollama is open source (also MIT). You can bet any for-profit people using llama.cpp under the hood aren't going to mention it, and while I think we should hold open source projects to a slightly higher standard this isn't really beyond the pale for me.

While you find the value-add to be "marginal" I wouldn't agree. In the linked comment you say "setting up llama.cpp locally is quite easy and well documented" ok, but it's still nowhere near as fast/easy to setup as Ollama, I know, I've done both.
How do you make decentralized identities that are spam-proof? You have to make them cost something, that's how. That's what this argument misses, and why you are all wrong about this IMHO.
More than not having patience for the glossy websites anymore, I find myself trusting them less too. If I visit a company website and it's covered in pictures, big shiny buttons, flashy menus, and those damn "helper" bots, there's a solid chance it hasn't been updated in a few years and won't have any useful information.
While I think the Ivermectin censorship is bad, I’d imagine in this context it’s unintentional and just a result of it’s training data probably having COVID-19 treatment and Ivermectin show up so often next to each other
Yeah I see your point it's definitely something we are going to try and reduce in the future. We wanted to give the users the ability to wrap external react components and leverage that ecosystem so there were trade off we had to make.

The 3MB of JS is in dev mode or prod mode? (Is this similar to the other comment where they were running in dev mode but when they ran in prod it was much smaller ~ 340KB?)

> But the fact remains that if you want to say... publish videos of some kind, you are likely to make much more on YouTube vs uploading them to your own website

Yes, but you're only talking about people who are intending to make money here. There's a much larger world out there than that.

> but in some cases significantly less effective

True, but so what? At least doing it that way isn't abusive, and it would eliminate quite a lot of the anger people have about online advertising.

It's very disturbing when the response to "stop being abusive" is "but then we'll make less money."

This is basically the value prop for mom n pop shops. If the salesperson is also the owner, they have a lot more incentive to get to know you and steer you towards the things that will be best for you, in order to

1) keep you coming back
2) navigate highly localized politics
Some things are spelled out, claimed or alluded to, then later contradicted. It would be interesting for an AI to analyze the claims and the actions, then see if those attributes hold true, or if God is a contradictory character, one that is still hard to define with absolutes.
Maybe this us vs them mentality is the biggest bottleneck.

If instead you consider that this new form of 'alien' intelligence is actually a descendant of human intelligence, that we are raising a new species which will inherit what humans have built (ideally only the good parts) and then improve upon it further..

It may sound grandiose, but that perspective changes everything.
For non-Chinese speakers: one can jump to 01:50 and 02:32 of the original video, the key figures (XRD and resistance) are presented with English captions.

The data look legit although there is a curious dip in resistance in Fig.3(a) between 200K and 250K. Fig.3(b) is also a bit weird as somehow the resistance behaves irregularly with magnetic field strength.
I’m sorry if I phrased my comment in a way that offends you. I did not intend it as such and wanted instead to offer such a more fluid view of autism. Not only the definition, like you say, but also how different facets affect each person with ASD to a different extent which also changes with circumstances and throughout life in general.

And if you can accept these different facets being more fluid, I’d propose that rather than curing autism (something I don’t believe in and would never champion), one might be able to moderate specific facets of ASD that people on the spectrum themselves find a hindrance by changing the microbiome. Say some kinds of stimuli-caused overwhelm. Similar to somebody changing their diet to limit hangriness or blood sugar drops.

Note that at no point am I suggesting somebody with ASD needs treatment, just that they might see some improvements in their well-being if they wanted.

Finally, I derailed my comment by mixing it with a well-intended comment about mindset. I mean no judgement w.r.t. a fixed mindset, just that I found it a hindrance myself and have been happier since I started working on changing it.

For example being able to write down some things I may have held as axiomatic in the past (e.g. ideals or standards of behavior) and being able to consider how they may not be so fixed and deciding to change them or ignore them entirely is very liberating.

Among other things it lets me view my identity as separate from my feelings and behaviors.

P.S. I don’t appreciate the ad hominem at the end of your comment. Even if I unintentionally offended you don’t think I deserve that.
I bet a majority of those 70M is WebKit itself, and I don't think there's any way to "condense" any of this since it lives outside of the JVM.
You may have to clone the repository to get the demos folder. Otherwise it's perhaps somewhere depending on how you use python (global and often broken environment, virtual environments, conda hell, etc…).

I feel like Python folks are on average terrible at distributing software. So many projects have some python script to install the dependencies, still assume you use conda, or don't bother to specify the dependencies versions. Thankfully it's often the same patterns and after some time you understand what to do based on the error messages. But I wish they could use something like NPM or Cargo. Even something like Maven would be an improvement.
I once heard China described as "totalitarian anarchy." You do whatever you want, then scatter like roaches if the government looks in your direction in the hopes of getting out of the way of the next crackdown.
I'm curious about what fraction of the safety rails are training and what fraction are just clumsy ad-hoc rules. For example, it's pretty clear that Chat-GPT's willingness to give a list of movies without male characters but not movies without female characters or jokes about Jesus but not Muhammad were bolt-on rules, not some kind of complicated safety training.

Since IMO this makes fraud a less likely explanation, and it seems easily possible to me that there are many materials in this family with different critical temperatures, and it seems really unlikely that the original researchers would correctly measure superconductivity but simply get the temperature wrong by more than 200K, then it seems strongly positive to the probability that the original researchers discovered room temperature superconductivity. Not confirmation, of course.
about: pytorch @ fb.
I actually have a few narrators that I prefer now. I think they get less of a cut than the authors do, but are still doing quite well for themselves, now.
Imagine you arrange some "send goods, receive payment later" kind of deal with someone; you send them the goods but they never pay you. So you bring them to court... and now you have to prove that they did not pay you. While they claim they did and even gave you a signed receipt which you must have thrown away.

So naturally, because in most civil cases its the other party's inaction that's supposed to be punished, courts adopt "guilty until proven otherwise" stance. Now it's the other party that has to show a receipt signed by you, or to show their bank statement that says they've transfered money to you, etc. That's one reason why there is so much paper trail in business and commerce — so that's when someone sues you, you could use all that paper to cover your ass.
Well it's hard to say without knowing more precisely what you mean, but I can imagine any number of factors that might correlate with a nation's wealth, eg, people might have more time to engage in civil society, they have a stronger military and diplomatic position and so other counties aren't liable to meddle with them, they might achieve the appearance of improving conditions by commiting their worst abuses abroad (eg setting up a sweat shop in another country), etc.

I certainly won't claim that wealth isn't an important factor in outcomes, what I really mean is that it's not a great terminal goal for a society. We shouldn't be hoarding resources, we should be using them to create a better world for ourselves and for future people.

Neon, a relational database startup, lands $46M investment
Agree. Any video/image/text created post-2022 is now suspect of being AI generated (even this comment). And without any 'registering' of pre-2022 content, we can easily lose track and not really know what from pre-2022 is authentic or not.

Maybe it's not a big deal to 'lose' the past, maybe landfills will be mined for authentic content.
