> It's recommended to not call them "accidents" anymore

Perhaps I've misread you; you seem to be asserting what I said you were - that there are no accidents.

Also, why the passive voice? Who makes this recommendation?

[Edit]

> The vast majority of RTCs are indeed due to the inattention of a driver

Arguably, all RTCs are the result of inadequate attention from someone or other. But attentive, well-trained drivers have collisions too. Perhaps their attention lapsed? They're human - human attention wanders, they're not focused 24/7 on the task, because they're not machines.

Cars are all very well on roads that carry light traffic. But not many roads are like that nowadays: most driving environments are way too complicated for even an expert to negotiate completely safely.

There are too many cars.
And they’re providing me with a way to look busy at work after 4:30 so it’s kind of an even trade IMO
Small biz bros are worse.
My wife left finance to work for a small (50-200) person business for a few years. Couple brothers that inherited it from daddy. Got all their kids / kids friends nepobaby jobs.

Probably the worst scenario of business owners you can work for.
The fact that I’m a woman (who has given birth and had PPD, twice) gives it that extra je ne sais quoi.
I dunno, the fact that integers are by (often mutable) references has to make it really difficult for optimization.

You don't have to be "sneaky" for this to bite you with Python. Maybe it looks obvious when stated in a bare-bones fashion but this bug was not easy to track down in a larger code base:

i = 1
incr_by_1 = lambda x : x + i
i = 4
incr_by_4 = lambda x : x + i

i is a reference in both incr_by_1 and incr_by_4 are equivalent at this point. If anyone assigns to i, then their behaviour will change.

In most languages, integers are values so an optimiser has a chance to (for example) replace incr1 by a single CPU increment instruction but can't do it here as the value "pointed to" by i needs to be fetched according to Python semantics.
(A bit off-topic, but to give another example of where convoluted hiring processes get you to...)

Last year, I did 8 interviews (including 4 technical assessments and quizzes) to get an offer from AMD (in Germany) as a software engineer. For completeness, they reached out to me. I wasn't really looking at the time.

When I got the offer, salary+bonus was less than what I had at the time (a lot less now) living in a similar cost place, so I rejected the offer, obviously.

In the final call, the HR person implied more than once that I was a time-waster for going through the whole process just to get the offer and then say "no" to it, that I wasn't "committed" as I said...
I feel like this might finally push me over the edge, to use a third party app.

... perhaps that means actually I'm in favor of it?
> I have no fucking clue who this person is.

Figures you would have no knowledge of American history nor even the basic ability to learn about a topic that has been provided for you. And you're the one calling people stupid dolts. Talk about cringe.

If you aren't relying on the superstitions passed down from your parents, that is an even stronger indictment of your mental abilities. At least Eich has the excuse that he's too uncomfortable removing himself from his community in order to think critically.

Turning off the computer might work, I dunno, haven't tried it.
That's probably part of the issue too. I did have to replace the USB port on my Pixel 3a though and even in my Pixel 6 sometimes I have to rotate the plug for it to work. I know that doesn't make any sense but it's what I have to do. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
> Trying to conflate the issue by suggesting that "we don't know how humans reason, so how do we know AI bots don't reason" is, frankly, absurd. We can easily demonstrate that they are inconsistent and have no concept of what they are writing responses about, as shown above.

The point of comparing it to human cognition is because this reveals that we simply cannot make categorical statements based on how we believe we reason. At our current level of knowledge about the brain and consciousness, it is still a possibility that we are a bunch of neural networks that decode language and, in doing so, produce justification for our actions which, in some contexts, can lead to what you would describe as logical or reasonable output. Sometimes this output is incorrect, and we are definitely not internally consistent. In particular, some of us are very often both incorrect and inconsistent. I doubt you would call a human with an IQ of <60 as incapable of reasoning, for example, and yet I feel such a person would have similar difficulties with most of the tests described in the paper.

So, in short, I would reverse the question here: if your only claim is that AIs don't reason like us, this is a very weak argument in favor of the claim that they are incapable of reasoning.
We definitely care about abuse generated by Workers.

A request coming from someone else's Worker should not "bypass" any security -- it should be treated the same as if they were running their bot on any other cloud provider and making requests across the internet. If you find otherwise, please file it as a security vulnerability: https://hackerone.com/cloudflare

(Actually, it should be slightly harder to run this kind of abuse from Workers, because any request coming from a Worker has the cf-worker header identifying the domain that owns the worker. It looks like your block rule is actually taking advantage of this. Other cloud providers usually cannot inject headers like this so it's harder to trace and block abuse from them.)

(I'm the tech lead for Workers.)
Could be. In my language, we don't differentiate between monkeys and apes. (Like how in English you call any lightness of blue blue, but not any lightness of orange (darker: brown) or red (lighter: pink). Russian would call the blues, sinii and goluboi, as different as orange and brown are to us.) I couldn't tell you the difference in English, so I probably wouldn't have remembered if it was one or the other ...if I got the information in English in the first place
> If the product improves quality of life for the user, yes there is value for the user.

"Value" can only be properly understood as "Benefit - Cost". If the cost is greater than the benefit, the value is negative.

> Everyone likes better software, right?

But does everyone have the same definition of "better"?
Someone who has made twenty million for just a single year isn't working class even if they choose to continue working. They could immediately retire and perpetually draw on investments for an income several times higher than that of a person who's working for 150k.
I suspect that UPS has a large contingency of MBAs who are better qualified at striking that balance than I am, which partially explains why I don't work there and why they haven't asked my advice on the matter.

I can only control the part of the transaction that originates from me. My commitment is to seek out the solution that seems, to my level of understanding and investigation, to result in the fairest treatment of workers given my lack of price sensitivity.

To do anything less is to give in to capitalist nihilism. It's tempting, but I'm not there yet, personally.

Show HN: Need Beta Testers for Taskified – AI Email Software
Hey guys! We are developing Taskified - an email software that uses AI to write and summarize emails for you. We are opening up our closed beta, and have a couple spots for people who are eager to boost productivity and stop wasting time on email!

Our application works inside of a google extension, so you can send emails on the go without ever having to log into gmail! When it opens up, it displays your inbox, where each email will be summarized into one sentence, so you dont need to waste time reading them. Secondly, we use AI to write your emails for you, customized with a tone and context filter, to suit your needs.

We are offering to give the first 100 beta users (80 spots left) 2 free premium accounts (1 for a friend) for 6 months after launch. All we ask for is some honest feedback on the software!

If you are interested, drop a comment here or visit https://www.taskified.co !!
One example I can think of is Discord profile pictures and background artwork, custom emoji for their "servers", etc.

There are even outlier populations in East Asia who are >2% Neanderthal.

Way more then any known population in Western Eurasia, from what I've seen at least.

It does seem a bit odd as it's the opposite of the popular stereotypes.
Like DC apparently, Boston has had some serious long-deferred maintenance. The commuter rail at least also has a reduced schedule and no longer has an express train from further out--so I'm a good 2 hours door to door if I use transit to go (rarely) into my city office. Driving is more flexible but it's just as slow at rush hour.

i'm 100% an extrovert. i still prefer working from home.

why? because i like having my own office, with a door that i can close. i like that i have my own setup, specifically designed by me so i can be as comfortable as possible. i love that i can stop work for 30min and just play with my dog or talk to my wife. oh, and i LOVE that i have privacy and i don't have someone looking at what i'm doing for 8h.
I think something valuable is lost if everyone must present irrelevant identity information to combat false assumptions some may hold. At least for the crowd who want to primarily be associated with attributes that can be merited to their choosing.

Sigh Here we go again. I'm sure this post will not stir up yet /another/ post of straight arguing in the comments.

How can it seemingly never be acknowledged following the pandemic that young people do, on occasion, have freak events such as cardiac arrest for reasons not related to the vaccine? There are plenty of cases that predate the vaccines. Is it also too hard to suppose that maybe heart disease doesn't necessarily discriminate based on age for people who eat like crap and never exercise?
I find a lot of this amazing.

Management in many places seems to insist on getting people into offices, but cannot explain why?

And they think people will spend 2h a day and 100s of dollars a month because they shuffled some desks around and bough bagels?

And the idea that you just trust people to be productive or god forbid actually check Vs just relying on social pressure to "look" productive is out of the question

I'm just baffled.
> I knew that Intel not landing the first iPhone contract was a big loss on mobile

Funnily enough Intel also had the best/most competitive ARM cores with XScale in the early 2000s which seemed like the default option for most high-end devices at the time. I wouldn't have been surprised if Apple would've just went with that (even if not x86) if Intel hadn't decided to can it without actually having any viable x86 SoC to replace it...
Young adults spend more time sitting around on their computer and eating junk food. No shock heart attacks are rising. With hotter climates I expect this trend to continue as going outside becomes less palatable.

No shock smart phones and generally accessible computers came with the dawn of the millennium and that's when things started to get bad.
> I answered why.

I don't think that you did, though. The data that is gathered by monitoring what websites you go to can be obtained without monitoring what websites you go to. So why do they feel the need to monitor what sites you go to?

My answer to that is "marketing purposes".

No it's not. They clearly highlighted that SCA is an electrical problem, and MI is a plumbing problem. They just used it to point out that perhaps people will now start paying attention to heart diseases in those younger than 40.

Authenticating Multiple Terraform Modules in Azure Pipelines
Going down the Rabbit Hole is fun for any subject you learn a lot. For electronics I went down the hole power, current and voltage, EMF, magnetism, ferromagnetic metals, domains (as in magnetic area no networking i.e. electron alignment), virtual electrons, physics, quantum mechanics...

Similar for computers you see the high level stuff but then you can go right down to the wire level where bits are voltages +5/-5/0V and clock timing.

Although being too curious can be bad thing. You have to know when to stop or where to start. I think we've all heard stories of people troubleshooting who are very intelligent. They're tearing into a problem down to the hardware level or going over code line by line when all they needed to do was reboot.

I find the idea that you can't grow, progress or build a network, when working from home, really alien.

Small businesses can have their own set of issues which are probably different than those you encounter at a big company but they can be just as bad or worse. (Oh, and if you're in business for yourself, you need to do a lot of selling and need to deal with clients directly.)

> And, like it or not, we have a formal definition of reasoning and logic, and long expertise in analyzing how that works.

Well then I guess all the humans in this thread would come to the exact same conclusion, because according to some expectations we are perfectly consistent and capable of logical reasoning.

How would you describe the process where if you add context to a prompt - ie, if you prod the AI in a certain direction - you can drastically influence its results? Is it not using this context as an "argument"? Sure, we know for a fact that all they are doing is exploring a certain corner of a high-dimensional space, and that prompting gets us closer to a desired spot where the right answers reside. If this is true, then at least some logic and reasoning is encoded in language. And if this is also true, then perhaps what humans are performing is a similar trick.
not really. Companies pay more in expensive cities where they locate offices because they need to attract local talent, and they have to compete against other companies. Many national companies have cost of living adjustments baked into their salary bands because of this.

My data point: I live 10 minutes walk from my office, the campus has a cafeteria, and I have my own office. Still I don't want to be forced to come into office, simply because I feel more comfortable and relaxed at home. It is a quiet place, I don't want to random interruptions from colleagues, and I can take a nap on my comfortable bed if needed, none of which can be offered in the office. Having prepared food is nice but not as important.
I thought that the point of EV's is that there is no drive chain?

The issue for the big car makers is that their differentiation is in the ICE drive chain... Making that thing to any sort of modern standard is very difficult, making millions of them at the right price is really difficult.

Electric motors in the wheels - not so much.

So, the established players have to find reasons why consumers will buy their implementation of a generic technology. The potential ones are specialisms, brand & service. Service is difficult because EV's don't need much. My 4 year old tesla has had 1 tyre repaired and a lot of washer fluid poured in the front. Specialisms will include things like bullet proofing, radical looks... Brand will be available to Ferrari, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Porsche, and few others but these will be small scale - although overall they will add up to be somewhat significant. But companies like Ford, GM, VW, Mercedes, Renault, Toyota and Honda are really screwed. Even Tesla! Personal mobility is going to be commoditized, margins are going to go, costs are going to have to be cut radically
I'm also a THEC64 owner, and I call it "retrocomputing on easy mode". That's a good thing! It offers a good-enough simulacrum of what the C64 experience was like. The breadbin case with original-layout keyboard, which feels plausibly like one of the keyboards that shipped on actual C64s (there were a few different ones), really put THEC64 over for me. And it just works with modern equipment like HDMI displays and USB controllers. It's a great way to introduce kids to the way we computed back in the before times.

They're abused by a society that feeds them garbage, keeps them sitting all day long, and makes it impossible for them to walk to a friend's house and play in the street.
