Yah I’ve long wanted an LLM trained on Bernie Sanders stump speeches (he gave a LOT) that could be called upon to criticize any political writing I find on the web. A little Bernie Bot in the side bar that can comment on news articles. “Enough is enough! The American people are sick and tired!” Hehe.
Non-ionizing radiation can affect your DNA, for instance UV can cause DNA damage in skin cells. [1]

In my opinion this kind of study continues to try and prove a negative, which is very difficult.

Yea, the ban would be ineffective if it resulted in gov employees simply carrying 2 phones everywhere, 1 tightly restricted and 1 unrestricted.

Probably better to have 1 phone that’s semi-restricted.
Summary of and Thoughts on the Hotz/Yudkowsky Debate
I think the type of person who thinks there's no culture in small towns just never goes to places like that. Montana is great and has its own culture. When I travel I try to hit up small towns and out of the way places. Some of the best times of my life were spent traveling around rural New South Wales, specifically the Bega Valley. If there's people, there's culture.
There are some bootcamps available online (EdX), for example:

Well it fits the pattern. Low quality companies use chatbots for customer support. I don't see why desantis wouldn't.
Looking more at Ghost Archive:

- There's no DDG bang search as yet.

- I'm not sure there's a submission URL format, though I need to look at how the site operates.

Both of those would be quite useful as my usual archival methods run through DDG (!wayback and !ais, respectively).

Though again, appreciate your mentioning it.

That's not remotely enough.

1. I want an explanation of how the Judge signed off on a search warrant against a journalistic outfit, in violation of Federal Law.

2. I want an explanation of the ethics violations at play. The Judge who signed the warrant, was the former County Attorney until she was appointed into her position. Now, presumably her protege is the County Attorney, who happens to be family with the owner of the hotel where Keri Newell's restaurant (not the Cafe) is located.

3. I want an explanation of how public DUI records, in anyway, can be construed to be private information, or identity theft, or whatever else.

4. I want an explanation and apology to the city council person who's home was raided, computers and phones taken, and an elderly couple with health risks left alone with no way to contact anyone.

5. I want an explanation as to why Kris Kobach's KBI's first response was "the media is not above the law", until outrage flaired.

6. And I'm not holding my breath for those affidavits, but they'd damn well better be released unredacted.

This is of course not even getting to the police chief who left Kansas City due to numerous sexual misconduct allegations that the newspaper was looking into.

They better not think they're going to sweep this under the rug.

Well, yes, but their prototype time machine let them put in more years per year than you'd expect.

(Someone anonymously claimed they have a time machine on social media, so it must be true!)

Seriously though, it sounds like the research group is doing interesting work, and also being careful about the claims they make (even if the internet hype cycle is not), so kudos to them.
As someone relatively new (few months in) to full-stack development, what can HTMX offer me? I've been semi interested since Prime mentioned it a handful of times, but I feel maybe I'm too new to fully understand what I gain from it. As soon as I'm finish with my current project, I'd like to check it out.

For reference, I'm currently working within the T3 Stack.

Nah, look at it this way:

A good idea or a good product are never enough. You have to sell the product in order to have it be successful.

In your situation, you were at a bank, so your TAM was roughly 1 enterprise (or maybe a dozen, tops, if divisions had federated or siloed tech). And your 1-to-a-handful of potential customers were probably of the large and difficult to change variety. That's a huge constraint, and not landing it there doesn't mean your idea was bad, it just means you weren't successful in selling it and I'm going to tell you that you probably _couldn't_ have been successful in selling it where you were, when you were there. I worked for your lazy cousins at the same time - big insurance - and had the same issues selling my own ideas internally, if that makes you feel any better.

HTMX has no such constraints. It's a decade later and the TAM is more or less everyone doing or preferring to do SSR. The same/similar good idea, but different place and time.

ASP.Net is different than Classic ASP... ASP.Net had a "WebForms" model, where the default behavior was a postback with a rerender on a lot of handler actions. That also included a ViewState input attached to your page/forms that was used for (re)hydration to handle change and other event detection. The use of viewstate with a lot of the component libraries at the time was pretty aweful. Not to mention feature/browser detection was just plain wrong as Firefox started to gain traction, before Chrome.

I can say I migrated away and mostly separated render/js/backend with ASHX handlers until MVC took hold. These days, I tend to prefer the modern SPA models for browser applications. Though will also use static generators, server generation or other techniques if you don't need an interactive application.

HTMX seems pretty interresting as a kind of in-between, closer to the ASP.Net Webforms without the complete excessive overhead in the box.

So tired to see this take over and over again in HN. Putting the blame on Asia and developing nations for carbon emissions while

USA pays other nations to dump their garbage. The west/developed countries blames eastern/developing countries for it when in fact they were also responsible for a shitton amount of emissions when they started industrializing their countries and still continue to export wastes/export manufacturing stuff which generates waste.
I can't imagine the sequence of horrible decisions that led to doing this. Like, why would the time service ever want to depend on all this insanity when if it has a network and everything else is bizarro world, just like scrape the time and date text from weather.gov.

Or just accept that absent NTP, w32time maybe just shouldn't try to set the clock to whatever a circus clown tells it?

This sort of reminds me how there is a buried registry setting to tell w32time to not place the firmware clock at very high stratum in the time sources list which also is just a giant WTF in how those two behaviors were decided on.
> I think covid has maybe a 10-20% chance of leaving a large portion of the population partially disabled

I struggle to understand why people believe this. Every person I’ve met has had covid at this point, and I’ve never met anyone with any kind of disability from it.

When you look at the randomized control studies, long covid (excluding those intubated) basically doesn’t exist.

As others are saying,

my expectations were low based on this comment, so I found the reconstructions much better than expected.

Impossible to say if I'd be able to ID them without any context...

...but that leads immediately to the thought that a useful metric for these things might well be whether Shazam and similar "landmark identification" tools can.

Especially those which themselves are based on perceptual encoding models of some kind... the more human-perceptual-system based, the more interesting.

I.e.: if our machine models of audio perception, can consume the output of machine models of the output of those models, and reliably track that back to the originals,

the "fidelity" of the the lossy "encoding" ("recording") is becomes less interesting.

Especially from a behavioralist/instrumentalist view.

Which is the view underneath commercialization and e.g. surveillance.

Does the <data blob> sound/look like the original? Who cares, if the machine knows it's <thing>, we're good.

Vaguely related, in the long term it will be interesting to learn if the internal modeling (sic) of music in different people differs significantly as a function of e.g. musical training, proficiency, and the like. This would imply you could tell how good a musician someone is or might be, by inspecting the qualities of their internal model.

Which then makes me wonder about grokking and eidetic memory for audio. Anecdote: Hollywood composer (and sometime pop musician and collaborator with Amy Mann) Jon Brion used to have a regular night at bar in LA, which we attended ~25 years ago. He was regularly joined by other then-famous musicians like Rickie Lee Jones. Part of his shtick was to pick up suggestions from the audience of free-associate musically, performing fragments of various popular music (e.g. 80s pop).

It was truly remarkable, even uncanny and unsettling, how good his ability was to instantly riff out not just recognizable or faithful covers, but inflect them with a large number of the idiosyncratic micro-details of the original performance. At the time I understood this as the rare intersection of something like eidetic memory for music, and, a caricaturist's talent for emphasizing exactly those features which make the thing unique.

Which I suspect are exactly the sorts of landmarks systems like Shazam tend to abstract out; and what I anticipate work like this will reveal are exploited by our own perceptual memory systems.

Which, incidentally, seem to be distinct from "episodic memory" viz. the well established manner in which people far gone to various degraded memory and dementia conditions, can be "brought back" to themselves through flawless recall and performance/singing of songs they knew, even when they are otherwise "lost."

"The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool"

- Some guy who showed up as an extra in the Oppenheimer movie, playing the bongo drums
You can publish an article with a title like this and probably not end up embarrassed. Room temperature and pressure super conductors seem hard enough to find that chances are any given paper claiming to have found one will end up with a more mundane explanation. And I do think the information about the phase change of Cu2S is highly relevant, as it points at a way the original researches my have fooled themselves.

The dismissal of the partial levitation as ferromagnetism, on the other hand, doesn't strike me as especially robust. Ferromagnetism explains the partial levitation of tiny fragments of material generated by people trying to reproduce LK-99. Very light and thin pieces of ferromagnetic material will align themselves with a magnetic field. For example, Andrew McCalip (who streamed himself attempting to reproduce the material in his rocket startup's lab) generated a partially levitating fragment and sent it into USC, where they determined it was ferromagnetic. But bulk pieces of ferromagnetic material will just stick to magnets (or if they are magnetized, they will stick to one side and be unstably repelled from the other).

Ferromagnetism doesn't explain the levitation demonstrated in the videos put out by the original researches, though. Barring fraud, the most likely explanation for that kind of levitation is diamagnetism. The article mentions Derrick van Gennep recreating the partial levitation video with a chunk of pyrolytic graphite (one of the most diamagnetic materials we know of, other than superconductors), supergluing iron filings to a corner of it to anchor it to the magnet. The levitation in that video comes from diamagnetism, not ferromagnetism. LK-99 is primarily made of lead, not graphite, which is 5-10 times denser, so the diamagnetic effect must be at least that much stronger than pure pyrolytic graphite. The thing is, as the rest of the article points out, the supposed main constituents of LK-99 have now been extensively studied, and none of them appear to be especially diamagnetic, so something in those samples the original team recorded must be extremely diamagnetic to make up for it!
Not to sidetrack too much, but is this not a violation of campaign rules? Aren't all text messages from a political campaign at least supposed to be operated by a human touching a phone somewhere? This is to avoid robodialers and others?

Hello,

Maybe stupid question, but what are the downstream implications for folks like Vercel/Netlify/etc. who bet the farm on complex server rendered JS pipelines?
The KS State AG is Kris Kobach. There's a less than zero chance of accountability coming at his hand. This is the dipshit that the court had to sanction and basically say "you need to go back to law school 101" and forced him to take remedial education.

(The KBI reports to him, and their initial response was that "the media is not above the law" until it became clear this was national news.)

Oops, sorry, I told the truth about a Republican, I deserve my HN smackdown, but, here, maybe this will help:

I've also found htmx a great way to retain server side rendering with minimising the recalculation cost of client changes.

By avoiding needing to add lots of client side logic to still get very low latency updates, it's given me the best of both worlds.

The way Django's template system works also makes it so easy to render a full page initially, then expose views for subcomponents of that page with complete consistency.

On a tangent, Django's async support is still half-baked, meaning it's not great for natively supporting long polling. Using htmx to effectively retrieve pushed content from the server is impeded a little by this, but I slotted in a tiny go app between nginx and gunicorn and avoided needing async he'll without running out of threads.
It absolutely is. It was my university website so couldn't avoid it either.
To further complicate things, UV only causes damage at certain wavelengths right?

So maybe part of the issue is that "UV" or "Microwave" are too broad as categories to make a statement like "Microwaves are totally safe"
That's really sad. DSNY has a really good/interesting TT account.
Most C#, .Net devs and even VBScript devs had very little desire to learn JS. Not to mention that prior to IE6 becoming dominant there was a lot of very painful variance between browsers. JQuery helped to normalize this a lot. Part of why the ASP.Net (and others) were modeled with a full server postback. It worked fine when the server was in a server room in the corner of the building you were in, over the internet on dialup, not so much.

I have both configured. Photoprism doesn't have a native app but I would recommend using PhotoSync if you are on iOS. It works infinitely better than Immich's upload for camera rolls that have 50k+ photos/videos in them. It also works in the background much better than Immichs app.

"Once those items are in the possession of the expert, the expert plans to make a "forensic copy" and then check to see if anything was accessed or altered."

If the seized computers were booted up from their normal OS drive then a whole bunch of timestamps, metadata and logs would be changed. A forensic image of the drive could be used to prove this without altering the original device.

Of course if the police used a forensic image tool in the first place that would leave far less evidence of analysis on the original machine.
Ok, I see, the idea is to render parts of the page on server and swap those parts on the client with things like: https://htmx.org/attributes/hx-swap/

> I do think democracy, the way it currently works, has a problem. It doesn't seem to be able to actually solve problems anymore.

I agree with you and this is because democracy is terminally on the defensive. Which is alas, a losing strategy.

Technological advances (accelerated by capitalism) have brought ever increasing power to the individual and private organizations that the state has to run like a red queen introducing more and more legislation, regulation and increasingly byzantine bureaucracy backed up with the sorcery of propaganda and fiscal–monetary policies to fortify its paranoid self against the imaginary, and very soon to be real horde. “A dying society accumulates laws like a dying man accumulates remedies” because you can’t be under siege forever. “The bomber always gets through”.
The first LLMs were trained for helpfulness and it shows. However my suspicion is that if they can be trained for helpfulness they can also be trained for rhetorical efficacy and I don't think that will improve the information ecosystem.

Then again, politics is already mired in slimy rhetoric so this probably won't be a cataclysmic change. We already have a few tools to deal with it. AI Debates could be cool. Are cool -- the evidence that convinced me LLMs were special was going on character.ai and pitting a Marx and Hayek character against each other. That was a fun debate with helpful AIs but it would still be a fun debate with rhetorical AIs.
