Tangential anecdote: I needed a crown some years ago, and did some research on what materials to go with. It turns out gold is more biocompatible, safer for the opposing tooth, and will last something like twice as long. It's not much more expensive, even as the price of gold increases.

But the first dentist I talked to wanted to do some kind of ceramic, and didn't even suggest gold. The second one, I said I wanted gold, and he seemed relieved, saying that was the far better choice, but that he basically never brings it up any more because it has gone out of style.

...it really bothers me that neither of them would have mentioned the safer, superior, more durable option even as just that, an option. :-X

I wonder if this might be an interesting litmus test.
The price spikes are intended (and actually succeed in) incentivizing the building of power sources like solar that do not produce 24x7, but do produce during normal peak times (when it's sunny and hot). They make enough $$ during peak prices, that they are competitive (in fact as a % of total grid capacity are rising fast, already in double-digits).

You could achieve something similar by using a flat rate, but subsidizing the solar some other way, perhaps with direct handout, and raising taxes to pay for that. In some ways, that would be more direct and easy to understand. However, this does at least have the advantage of most incentivizing the capacity which is available when it is most needed.
It was always junk. 'Cleaning' the registry, which has always been snake oil at best and potentially break Windows at worst. Even Microsoft doesn't recommend registry cleaners.

It started pretty well, but the paragraph where you're comparing managers to the monarchy and nobility (!) made me laugh. You're clearly confusing cause & effect, to the unbelievable levels.

Managers are hired by the corporate "monarchy & nobility" - founders, board, shareholders etc. And there are many valid reasons to do that - lack of technical skills, efficiency, even laziness (you pay money to someone else to care about something more important to yourself).

Fun fact is that all those groups on the top of the food chain are also managers, but in attempt to crash the feudalism you're targeting the powerless middleman.
I hear about the legacy of colonialism all the time. People can walk and chew gum at the same time.

The article touts the "Heat Relief Network" with "more than 200" Cooling and Hydration centers.

The list is here: https://azmag.gov/Programs/Heat-Relief-Network/Heat-Relief-N... in case that's the easiest format for you while you're dying of heat exhaustion, but there is an apparently incomplete map here: http://hrn.azmag.gov/#/map

The ones that I am familiar with turn out to be places one can find a drinking fountain. All of the ones I know about are outside (unshaded) and many of them are refrigerated, but in my many many miles on foot around the city I have yet to find with the chiller actually running in the summer. As such, the water coming out can be initially hot enough to burn you, if the water comes out at all.

The "cooling centers" appear to be mainly libraries. We routinely take our kids to several libraries that are listed, but I can't recall ever seeing anything set up for helping someone in heat distress. Perhaps they have a hidden area? To me, this again seems like they've simply compiled a list without actually doing anything and declared the problem complete.

Those of us who keep bottled water in the car to give out to people seem to be doing more than the city of Phoenix ever has.
This particular patch was upstreamed to OpenJDK tip and will be part of Java 22 for all vendors. We have back-ported the patch to our builds of 11, 17 (and shortly 21), and offer those back-ports upstream. However, those back-ports won't always be accepted into the stable LTS branches, so sometimes they'll only sit in our builds for those versions (like this patch in our 17.0.8+ builds). We make that clear in our release notes etc and the code is always available on our GitHub under the GPLv2+CE license.
I will happily take this "dystopia" over many places in the world.

Of course, it would be nice if we could change some things, but opening the argument with this level of hyperbole makes the rest difficult to follow.
Is Canada still going forward with the law that USA streaming companies have to provide at least 30% domestically-sourced Canadian programming? I know EU and Australia did that. I appreciate the resistance to the continued American-ization of their cultures, but let's be honest here. I can only think of Rush, Bieber, and Kids in the Hall. Where is the rest of the 30% going to come from? It's going to be a lot of nonsense filler content that is only there to comply with some law.

edit: actually, Apple Music might be able to cover their 30% quota just with Neil Young's discography.

I think that entire line of jurisprudence is a tragic mistake.

The wording of the law is crystal clear: "shall not monopolize", not "shall not monopolize unless it's just a really good product".

A 95% market share should not be allowed under any circumstances.

Ask HN: What is the most powerful, fully open, fully programmable computer?
I'd like to write a software stack from scratch, starting from low level assembly to explore alternative and novel avenues for computing.

I'm looking for some hardware that comes with as many modern features such as multiple cores, USB, PCI, etc., and with datasheets and open specs for all components of the board, that are reasonably possible for a single person to grok.

That cuts out all modern x86 and ARM systems (you need a lifetime just to program a single GPU driver), RISC-V boards still depend on binary blobs and underdocumented auxiliary chips.

Without going as far down to a Z80 microcomputer, what is the most powerful and programmable computer I can plug a keyboard and monitor to, and start hacking?
I think they realize the truth which is that productive people can be productive anywhere. Do they care about the toll a 2-hour commute takes on the workers or how that translates into deliverables and timelines? Ask yourself if this sounds likely.

Also they understand that most of these companies are 100% losses anyway, but real estate investments are much less likely to go to zero. (Plus rent is just cold hard cash.)
> The evidence is that it understands and can respond with human language which arose from purely biological processes

If you don't understand how this isn't evidence, I honestly don't know what to do.

> So until we understand how this happens we can’t say for sure that these things are not statistical models of part of the human brain.

I never said that.

I said you can't affirmatively say they are, and further, that because we don't understand how the human brain works, the fact that we can make computers perform tasks that humans can is not evidence in favour of the idea that those computers are in some way modelling the way the human brain actually works. And that is the claim I've seen many people make. In fact that's the claim you just made.

> We just don’t know.

On that we agree.
For most people, that's expensive.
IMHO first line managers should always be from within the team or work on some tickets for a while.

If first line managers do not know the trench, no way they are going to effectively manage.
I've got mixed feelings about the news media bargaining code but I don't think the lack of designations is one of its problems. Only stepping in once negotiations fail seems to be how the law is intended to operate. 52E(3) of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 says that in making the designation that the code applies the minister must consider:

1. Whether a significant bargaining power imbalance exists.

2. Whether the platform has made a significant contribution to the sustainability of news media.

As to 1. the mere existence of the code seems to redress any power imbalance somewhat. As for 2. The actual deals Facebook and Google made in response to the law being enacted are confidential, but many news media companies said they were happy with the results so there wouldn't seem to be any reason to designate these organisations in the first place.
"Desperation" or random iterations until it passed every test. It doesn't seem to have a lot of opcodes. How much time did it take to find the algorithm with the processing speed of their time?
I always wondered why so many hospitals adopted EPIC, it's got the worst UI I've ever seen. This article provides insight to complete the picture: network effects, and lock-in.

It's likely resulted in many deaths. When my friend worked ER, any time Epic went down, they simply switched back to paper forms, the ER waiting room would empty within a few hours. EPIC is, in my opinion, a large fraction of why ER waiting rooms are always full these days.

Between Epic and HIPPA privacy rule[1], the effectiveness of emergency care in the US can only spiral downward. You're forced to slow down(because of EPIC) and fill out a bunch of online forms before you can let a patient go, filling the ER.

Then you're not allowed to follow up on patients and complete the feedback loop of care, because they're no longer an ER patient, and you're not allowed to inquire any more.

Aider scans the repo for all the important identifiers/symbols and condenses them down to make a "repo map" [0]. You tell aider which files you want it to edit, and it uses the repo map to augment them with all the relevant code context from the rest of the repo. This way when GPT makes code changes, it is able to respect and utilize the existing modules and abstractions present in the codebase.

Came here with the same nitpick. It settles down too slowly. Also takes too long to start moving after changing angle. So it's in this weird spot where it's both more + less reactive than real water.
It makes sense to me? The algorithm specialises in distinguishing between the faces in its training set. It works by dimensionality reduction. If there aren't many black faces there it can just dedicate a few of its dimensions to "distinguishing black face features".

Then if you give it a task that only contains black faces, most of the dimensions will go unused.
> It was Europe that was burdened with millions of refugees created by Washington's unprovoked invasion of Iraq (then Libya, then Syria).

You are aware that intervention in Libya was driven by France and UK far more than the US, right? In fact, part of the goal of the intervention in Libya was to demonstrate that Europe didn't need to rely on the US to tackle security concerns in its immediate backward--even if that demonstration was a failure.
Wikipedia is free, Google search is not. You are paying for Google Search. People need to realize their privacy has value, a lot of value actually, otherwise Google Search and every other privacy invasive platform would cost money.
These sound like being about Julia proper.

How does that fit with your initial "If JuliaCon last week is any indication, there might be more Lisp in space in the future"?

Is this about some Lisp written in Julia? Some Lisp with interoperability with Julia? Or it's based on considering Julia itself a Lisp for some reason?
People absolutely do because that is how you get promoted when you don't know what you are doing.

The fact is, most of the people on the corporate world just don't need to be there. They add nothing and slow things down.

Yeah passing peer review doesn’t mean that the article is perfect and to be taken as truth now (and remember, to err is human; any coder on here has had some long standing bug that went mostly unnoticed in their code base). It means it passed the journal’s standards for novelty, interest, and rigor based on the described methods as a retained by the editor / area chair and peer reviewers that are selected for being knowledgeable on the topic.

Implicit in this process is that the authors are acting in good faith. To treat the authors as hostile is both demoralizing for the reviewers (who wants to be that cynical about their field) and would require extensive verification of each statement well beyond what is required to return the review in a timely manner.

Unless your paper has mathematical theory (and mistakes do slip through), a publication should not be taken as proof of something on its own, but a data point. Over time and with enough data points, a field builds evidence to turn a hypothesis into a scientific theory.

I think something like the bullet cluster, where you have gravitational lensing consistent with a collision-less fluid, leading a baryonic colliding gas (which we know is present from X-ray emissions), was a prediction of CDM. So it hasn’t predicted nothing, but yeah, I want to see more.
One of the Nobel prizes in Physics was the discovery of Higgs Boson at LHC. It cost billions of dollars just to build the facility, and required hundreds of physicists working on it to just conduct the experiment. You can't replicate this. Although I fully agree that replication must come first when it is reasonably doable.
Since you keep referring to an original comment, I unfortunately must ask which comment you're talking about
Matches my sentiments pretty well.

My way out is two-fold - it is still work in progress, so take it as an attempt rather than a solution:

1. Stay at the soul-sucking job a bit to gain cash and invest in assets that generate passive income

2. Find a time slot in your day or week that is absolutely sacred and do what you consider creative and fulfilling. That you're able to allocate only a tiny fraction of a day to creatively fulfilling work will hurt. But I'm hoping slowly you identify yourself more with this fraction than what you do to for the 8 hours.

Been trying to do this for a little under a year now and there are some good days and some bad days, but I think it keeps me sane. Will need 5ish years to know whether it's really working.

It's fascinating how sample size differs based on who wants what policy to be enacted. What are the false arrest rates due to people just looking at a picture and thinking "That's the one"?

A local accounting firm with 4 employees just wants their conferencing software to work - Zoom does that better than anyone else.

There's work going on to look a little further into the infrared to fix this.[1] See the image set "Sample database images in all three spectra". High dynamic range images help, a lot.

Yes, probably. They all count against your 15 GB quota of free storage, after which you have to pay Google for more. It's basically the same model as Dropbox.

It's interesting that they tested for AI code completion compatibility. It makes sense as AI code completion is now a big part of tooling and standards should accomodate for common tools.
What I'm hearing is that meta/google are threatening the government through public opinion on a piece of legislation that doesn't benefit them... How could anybody side with meta/google?
Yes, I am aware of that, and that it doesn't affect my argument. Washington was still a huge fan of and participant in that brutal unprovoked invasion that saw slave markets return to Libya.

Washington did lead the unprovoked illegal invasions of Iraq and Syria, which had more of an impact on the refugee crisis.

So again: where are the examples of coalition members getting their way in spite of Washington's interests?
That's very plausible. But then that means there is an inherent bias against people with darker skin. So the more interesting question is: why wasn't that bias anticipated and caught, and if it was known, why was it allowed to go to production where it affected the lives and liberty of one group of people disproportionately?
Google has used it's internet video monopoly as a weapon against Microsoft's competing smart phone platform AND Amazon's competing smart assistant platform.

Apple doesn't have a monopoly position to abuse in when it comes to texting.

Google, on the other hand, does nave a monopoly position on internet video, and a history of using that monopoly as a weapon against competing platforms.
Isn’t SMTP an API? Why would you pay or complicate things when you can just send email with libraries available in every language?
The actual quote that the mention in the article refers to:

"Using diverse training sets can help reduce bias in FRT performance. Algorithms learn to compare images by training with a set of photos. Disproportionate representation of white males in training images produces skewed algorithms because Black people are overrepresented in mugshot databases and other image repositories commonly used by law enforcement. Consequently AI is more likely to mark Black faces as criminal, leading to the targeting and arresting of innocent Black people."

So they're saying that simultaneously the training set has too few black faces and the set being compared against has too many.

> I think we understand very well that a statistical model can accurately predict the behaviour of a system and still have nothing to do with how the system operates internally.

I agree that's true of some statistical models, I don't think it's true of Bayesian models. Solomonoff Induction has shown that Bayesian inference will reproduce any underlying computable function given a suitable prior.

And this should be obvious given this simple sketch of the argument: classical logic is just Bayesian inference with all probabilities pinned to 0 and 1, and a model of a system in classical logic is a model of how it operates. Therefore you just need to run Bayes' rule long enough for the probabilities to converge.

Many papers have shown that LLMs perform Bayesian inference.

So-called "break-up" may not be effective as expected and it's easy to workaround that for tech companies as they're less tied to physical infrastructures unlike conventional monopolies. It's likely that they'll got billions of fine as well as be forced to implement corrective measures on their anti-competitive behaviors, of course if they lose.
That's easy: racism.
