The view outside of Hacker News on alignment ("censorship") is quite different. Two senators questioned Meta about its Llama 1 "leak". "While Meta originally only purported to release the program to approved researchers within the AI community, the company’s vetting and safeguards appear to have been minimal and the full model appeared online within days, making the model, `available to anyone, anywhere in the world, without monitoring or oversight,” the Senators wrote.`"

In this political environment, it's quite difficult for a large company to release an unaligned model.

Meta did the next best thing, which is to release the raw model and the aligned chat model. That's how things will be done given the current environment.

Aren’t we talking about private businesses here?
Well, if you did take it seriously then you would have reacted well before Stripe paused your account. I've had a business relationship like yours with another PSP (like Stripe) for many years and I was watching the CB rate like a hawk to make sure we never even got close to being labeled 'high risk'. This can be very hard, especially when customers engage in soft fraud, where all of the burden is placed on the merchant. There are a ton of things you can do to ensure that your rates are as low as they can be but even then it might simply not be enough. In your case I hope that you will be able to push things down to the point where you can continue your business and I also hope that Stripe will be able to work with you to determine if and if so under what conditions you will be able to work with them. But if Stripe can't then you have a much larger problem because every other PSP will have the same basic criteria and you'll end up with really low repute PSPs if you can't satisfy those. Typically those are the property of other parties that are unable to get normal processing in line so they make their own throwaway PSPs that get blown up in due course.

The old think is that you're only supposed to have fun on the weekends. Weeks are for WORKING.

People recoil when you tell them you go to the gym in the middle of the work day and maybe walk the dog in the afternoon.
Quite a few companies are somewhat reasonable and steering towards a hybrid model where people come in 1-3 days a week.

The unexplored outcome of hybrid is that there's no such thing as hybrid.

In a hybrid model, you come into the office and find people sitting in chairs with a headphone on. Because they're just as much in calls as they were at home. Because part of the meeting participants on any given day is not there.

Hence, this nice physical face-to-face meeting, a supposed benefit of returning to the office, does not materialize.

Well, perhaps you'll at least do some ad-hoc brainstorming with your colleague at the coffee machine. Sure, but you need to put the outcome of that in writing...for the people that are not there.

Hence, this mode of virtual working cannot be undone. You can't do a "little" virtual working. When you come into the office you largely continue to work as if from home. Perhaps without the sweatpants.

For the record, I'm not anti-office. I enjoy the socializing, lunch walks, etc. And in our increasingly touchless home-based society, it's not that bad of a deal to get out of the house for 2 or 3 days a week. Finally, we should empathize with juniors. In my experience, remote mentoring is a piss poor substitute for the real thing.

Depends. This feels a bit like the Wright Brothers patenting wing warping. It's possible that innovation will happen so quickly that the original patents become worthless.

Frankly there is also zero chance that the patents are respected by all parties (i.e. China), regardless.

I don't think cities are actually out of room. Maybe they are, but it's not obvious to me that this is the case.

> Being able to share that growth with towns that have plenty of room to expand seems like a huge win.

Not for the people who live in smaller towns because they prefer living in smaller towns.

> And preventing people with money from coming to your poor town is an excellent way to make sure the people who live there stay poor.

Not all small towns are poor. And regardless, a lot of people with money coming into a town very often causes prices for everything (especially housing) to increase, pricing poor people out of the area. And if you're poor, you probably can't afford to move elsewhere.

Not saying that these problems are inevitable, but there are certainly lots of examples of them happening. What I am saying is that this is a very complicated thing with no clear outcome for any particular place.
If you wait long enough you can just emulate the old system.
People like living in big cities because they're more interesting.

Conversely, companies will sometimes locate themselves in suburbs just to make it harder for employees to leave. IIRC that's why IBM is in Armonk.

You had pretty simple explanations for this all over the page. From me (see the comment about kicking users after being unable to persuade admins who they have a real resentment against), and others (the bits about painting with the same brush). At this point it would be fair to say that you are just ignoring them because they lead to a conclusion you might not like.
What kind of chargeback rates were you talking to get in trouble? 10%? 5%?
Of course they aren't. But patent owners get to set the terms under which their patents are licensed. It's not like the record business where there is a fixed deal and if you use someone's lyrics you know up front what it is going to cost you. Someone might not even want to do business with you at all...
And employers take more than both combined.

> My feeling is that dropping the bomb was overall better than a land invasion.

Years ago I asked my buddy what was his take on dropping the bomb. He answered that when the bombs dropped, his dad was in Florida training for the invasion of Japan.

There's no snappy reply to that particular argument.
Dammit. you see we have exact same problem at our company! we're locked with AWS. We got about 12 different sites running there and I know it'd be a nightmare moving them over to something like Digital ocean. The there's other services that need moving too ie lambda/rds and s3 stuff.

Atleast you realized you'd be in deep trouble when free tire finishes! they're quite sneaky eh! I still have trouble understanding their costs sometimes.

Yes, that is a definite possibility.
If you're a researcher from academia applying for a job in my team, the quality of your GitHub repo makes a huge difference in how you are perceived before we even talk to you.

If you believe in your work and would like to see someone build upon the results, having clearly reproducible results also makes all the difference. Most of the time, you won't even know that people are trying out your code/model/whatever, and friction in the onboarding often means that they will move onto something easier.

If you bound the last 10% and avoid scope creep, I am all for investing the time.
You still end up with a ton of commuting needs. And you get an induced demand loop with development still: lots of jobs popped up in this area around the transit stops! Now more housing is built so people can live closer to it! Now even more commercial and retail is needed and gets built! Which makes even more people want to work/live there. And not all of those people are gonna want to both work and live there (consider the trivial case, even, of a couple with one job per person, with the jobs in different parts of town), so you've also increased your commuting demand, which means fuller trains, longer waits...

I've had coworkers who lived and worked in Beijing without cars - they still had 40+ minute each direction commutes. And that's a city that was extremely aggressive in expanding its transit. It's just a basic queuing/graph problem, though.
“Hackeronies” kill me.
The analogy of "splinternet" to "Babelization" is quite fitting and brings to mind the story of the Tower of Babel, where linguistic diversity led to communication breakdown. Applying this concept to the internet highlights the potential consequences of isolating information and communication based on geographical or political boundaries.
When looked at a macro scale, any region, even a small town, has to import stuff into it's economy, and has to get dollars from out of the region to pay for the imports. This can come from exporting things, be it raw resources or manufacturing, tourism, or exporting services (which is how I would describe a huge part of the SF and NY economy).

Remote work allows people that work in exporting services to live anywhere. They bring cash into the economy, and any town with a good sense of economics should be trying to bring those people in. Might they temporarily raise prices in the town they move to? Yeah, but they moving out of a big city also lowers prices in that big city, what about the folks that were outpriced there, and now might have some breathing room?
I don't think customer protection is necessary unless you are dealing with unusually small or shady companies. I live in Germany and do not own a credit card, they are uncommon here. Mostly we pay per bank transfer or debit card. Even with the possibility of fraud, this is probably significantly cheaper in expectation than paying a 2% credit card fee each time just to have the possibility of chargeback.
Yep, I only counted the ones intended for Japan. The demon core was finished a few days before Japan's surrender, but never shipped to Tinian base for assembly. Iirc they would've been able of making three bombs per month.

I just moved here and I see people use Metro to go get groceries in Arlington. Which seems super weird to me because all of the Metro stations in the corridor between Rosslyn and Ballston are really close to grocery stores and then you have to pay $4 (at least) round trip, but I think that proves people use it as rapid transit...
Is this an official statement we can ignore the license differences? Or are Sentry nit pickers also?
Possibly but the idea was to demonstrate that the allies had more than one bomb. It might have been possible to just make enough fissile material for one weapon, then take another 2-3 years to make a second one. In that case if you're Japan you don't need to surrender.
Apparently a few times a year starting from 2021.

I don't think businesses really like ads. Businesses are forced to buy ads. On Facebook if you want to reach your entire audience you need to pay them, they gate off people seeing content they're subscribed to unless you pay. Google is terrible at surfacing relevant local events.

Ads are forced on small business because regular methods of discovery are intentionally nerfed.
For sure! I will. Definitely...
> Bigger, denser cities are more expensive. That's because they're more in demand.

It's mainly because they don't build enough housing. There's no fundamental reason it would happen otherwise; they use land more efficiently and have lower energy costs than suburbs do, and that should matter more than the higher competition.

Of course, there's also a selection effect; more interesting things to spend money on causes people to spend more money. (That's why people who earn more per hour tend to work more, not less.)
AI will kill a lot of graphic designer jobs. Top-level graphic designers (those who bring real innovation and creativity to their work) will still be needed and in demand. Those graphic designers who are less creative and survive by imitating the work of others will be replaced by AI fairly quickly, since it's really good at that, and cheaper than even third-worlders doing that work.

Now, just note that you can s/graphic designer/software developer/g (or a few other similar formulations) and the statement continues to stand...

Observed effects which have been given a name != a single universal truth. Just because we have experimental evidence of effects and theoretical explanations for their occurrence prove we actually have defined the underlying phenomenon's which produce the observed effect accurately. The reason we experiment isn't to prove our theories are correct so much as it is to probe where they break down so we can further refine our understanding of the universe. What we are likely seeing here is the result of an organized pattern of atomic nucleii forming a lattice which creates the conditions for the movement of electrons to be easier (or harder) than expected at certain temperatures (with temperature being the property which induces strain on the lattice). This is very crude, but begins to explain the multitude of factors at play here.
Even if this is part of the explanation there are many other factors which seem likely to be related.

Just off of the top of head: African-Americans are more likely to be raised in single mother households. African-Americans are more likely to live in neighbourhoods with bad public schools. Due to socioeconomic factors they're less likely to have access to nutritious meals. They may be more exposed to negative social influences (gangs, rap music, criminality, etc).

What I don't understand is why these academic statistics are so correlated worldwide. In the UK there is no "generational trauma". African migration only really started in the UK post-WWII. While there was discrimination this is the case for practically all immigrant groups in the UK. Indians were arguably just as discriminated against, for example. Yet, Indians today do extremely well in the UK. They also do extremely well in the US. So what's going on there?

It's difficult to say this without inviting abuse, but I worry that some of this is likely to be genetic. Obviously there are other factors at play too, and perhaps they are the majority, but in my opinion this doesn't fully explain what we see.

But the larger point I would make is until we actually understand what drives these group differences, and then take measures to level the playing field, we'll never fix inequalities between ethnic groups. At least not without state force.
Especially when I block ads everywhere but my mom loves to screenshot things and send them to me lol it's entirely possible a 50-60s baker living in a different household can affect my spending habits as an engineer.

I am seeing a lot of my former self in these comments.

I'd say this: Do what works for you and your team in the moment.

In 2023, I am a super hard-core vanilla-only web developer. My websites typically work without javascript and are completely rendered before they leave the server. I parade around HN advertising MDN as the Bible. Google is evil and Firefox is our savior. This stuff feels like religion to me.

Back in 2010 when I was responsible for the first website I was ever being paid real money to work on, I reached for Angular 1 and then happily upgraded to Angular 2 when it was time. Used bootstrap CSS for everything (aka the original back in 2011). I didn't stop using bootstrap CSS until ~2020. That was the last 3rd party item I dropped from my tool belt. RiotJS was the last JS framework I ever used and it got kicked to the curb some time around when Blazor was released.

10+ years is about how long it took me to completely lose my webdev training wheels. I think in many contexts (i.e. working with juniors and large teams), you are still going to want some sort of structure even if you personally don't need it. In our shop, I decided to establish and maintain that structure in-house. Our team is small and willing enough. In a larger shop, you will likely fail at DIY frameworks but I'd be the last one to say you shouldn't try. If you do succeed, nothing can compare.
And yet, despite being widely understood as purposely handicapped on non-chrome browsers by using a specific, internal library that is especially optimized inside the V8 javascript engine, Youtube works just fine on Firefox.

There is no "it's slow" excuse to not use firefox. Even if it took a full second longer per page load, WHICH IT EMPIRICALLY DOES NOT, that would still be an acceptable price to pay to not HELP ONE MEGACORP LITERALLY HAVE FINAL SAY OVER ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS ON THE INTERNET

This already happens, and AFAIK it's not a protected class. "Hmm, they'd be driving an hour each direction, are they likely to stick around?"
There's lies, damned lies, and statistics. You need to interpret these stats.

America is a very broad place with a lot of different types of people. We have millions of people that refuse to accept medicine due to religious reasons. Similar to beliefs around birthing children. There are more weirdo's here than anywhere else. This works in America's favor in many ways but is negative in many ways too.

If you're a normal person you don't have to worry. Subtract the weirdo's from the datasets and outcomes are fantastic. The same thing with all these other health and life expectancy numbers. If you're normal, avoid obesity, don't smoke or do drugs and avoid a variety of high risk behaviors, and visit your doctor then you're likely to live a long life.
