Important context here is that despite their manufactured outrage, China on an annual basis dumps 10X the amount of (potentially much more) radioactive water as is being discharged in this one-off event and has been doing so for years and will keep doing so for the foreseeable future.

Probably an unpopular opinion, but honestly I wish MVC-type development was still popular. I'm working on a side project that doesn't need any of this animation or partial page reloads/rerendering, and I'm using .NET 6 MVC. Development is so much faster.
If some of those ever manifest themselves, I may reconsider.

Of course it's not ok, which is why I scolded the GP. But responding to a provocation by breaking the site guidelines yourself ("This is such a shitty thing to say", "Is it beyond your comprehension", "Either speaks volumes about your own") is not also not ok.

The primary point, however, is that this is a repeating pattern in the comments you post. It's not about one link or the other, it's about you breaking the site guidelines on a regular basis. If you keep doing that, we're going to have to ban you.
Meh. We don't need a science. The last thing we need is a bunch of fine models and discussion.

What we need is some basic, dead-simple experiments that anybody can do. Experiments that show you that there's something there.

It's annoying, period. You're forcing me to listen to your life events in an annoyingly prodding manner.

This is more messed up than the rest of the article. You need to have a serious failure of processes and/or extremely low expectations from your interns if they can work 10hrs/week and get a FTE offer afterwards.
i probably wouldn't have spotted it without trying to figure out which variant of bubblesort it was: counting up? counting down? does it adjust the inner loop size? early exit?

selection sort has the potential advantage for things that are larger than your key that it can avoid copying the entire item, just doing a single swap at the end of the inner loop, but it's not implemented that way here. that would have looked like this

size_t m = 0;
register unsigned int subsystem = (*sipp)->subsystem;
register unsigned int order = (*sipp)->order;
for( xipp = sipp + 1; *xipp; xipp++) {
register unsigned int newsubsystem = (*xipp)->subsystem;
register unsigned int neworder = (*xipp)->order;
if( subsystem < newsubsystem ||
(subsystem == newsubsystem && order < neworder))
continue; /* skip*/
m = xipp - sipp;
subsystem = newsubsystem;
order = neworder; /* enjoy the sorting */
}

save = sipp[0];
sipp[0] = sipp[m];
sipp[m] = save;

on the other hand if you were going to put effort into optimizing this you probably would have used mergesort or something

> Has anyone successfully bypassed the current Ai detectors using fine-tuned models?

Current AI detectors are pure garbage. Anybody paying for one is getting scammed. Anybody using one to actually make decisions is making a grave error.

It's a real shame that some schools are using AI detectors to detect students using ChatGPT to write essays for them, because there have been many cases where the detectors flag essays as being AI-generated that are clearly written by hand.

All it takes is half an hour of playing with ChatGPT and asking it to write essays to understand ChatGPT's writing style. Yeah, with some decent prompting, you can get it to write in other styles, but let's be honest, anybody using ChatGPT to do their homework isn't typically putting in the effort to make it not look like ChatGPT.

As a meteorologist, I don’t understand why people don’t spend more time looking up. Clouds are pretty. So are stars. Being aware of the weather means you aren’t caught unaware. Being able to orient yourself by the sun means you don’t get easily lost.

Forgetting to look up means missing out on the world around you.

Also you need to avoid the drop bears. They’re vicious.

Given that they're offering davinci-002 for completion, I was wondering whether they went back to offering an "unsafe" model, but both davinci-002 and babbage-002 enter an infinite loop for any "unsafe" completion where text-davinci-003 and text-curie-001 is fine. Sigh, I guess OpenAI really does not want to offer unsafe models for usage.

The LLM model doesn't know true/false, fact or fiction. It's just generating likely text from patterns it's learned. In this case, the qualification is accurately reflecting its training.

Alix M. Freedman of The Wall Street Journal won the 1996 Pulitzer Prize in 1996 in National Reporting for her coverage of the tobacco industry. Her December 8, 1995 story headlined, "Phillip Morris Memo Likens Nicotine to Cocaine" includes the quote and states it came from written testimony by Johnston given to an April 1994 congressional hearing. The quote is, "cigarette smoking is no more addictive than coffee, tea or Twinkies."

I doubt GPT-4 was trained on documents from the congressional record (and OpenAI has declined to elaborate on their training models), and one instance from a Wall Street Journal article, if was even in the training corpus, doesn't give much weight.

Agreed. It is astounding to me that a private company can accuse me of a crime with no proof that I did it, and then the government will enforce that without question. You would think they would need fingerprints or something to prove that a particular person did something.
It is one of those things that genuinely polarizes people’s opinion. On the one-hand you have a solution that used carefully could simply replace fossil fuels for a large set of use cases. On the other hand, as little as it may be, their wastes are an undealt problem that is only wish washed away. Ironically, it also needs one of those revolutionary discoveries before it is truly safe.

I kind of feel like the moment you're trying to run a transaction across data stored in multiple separate microservices, you're in trouble.

"Can entirely encapsulate a transaction" is a good rule of thumb for designing your microservice boundaries.

Once that transaction has completed within the microservice, you can have other services then reliably carry out follow-on actions (maybe via an at-least-once delivery queue such as Kafka).
Its not that messed up. Every internship I ever saw had low expectations.
Just some food for thought questions. It seems like you're well-placed to thrive if/when an economic recovery occurs, if you can hang on that long, so you should consider doing what you can to increase your runway.

1) Do you have a significant other who is onboard with your plans and who is capable of helping fund your living expenses while you push this over the finish line? A teammate with some income would be a big value here.

2) If you own your home, are you in position to downsize and sacrifice that to ensure that the business succeeds?

3) Do you have the capability to take on a lower-paying and less stressful tech job that requires a smaller time commitment to help fund your dream? If you were a great FAANG developer, you can probably find some lower-paid, but easy tech job for that you can bang out in ~20 hours per week and spend the rest of your time on your own business. How big is your weekly financial deficit? Would a lower paid job fill that gap?

4) Do you have the capacity to shed expenses? If you have employees, that might sadly mean some layoffs.

5) Can you quickly raise some money by throwing some trendy "AI" labels on your website and trying to capitalize on the trends?

6) Have you considered raising prices? If your customers do love your service, there's a chance that they'll accept a price increase rather than seeing you go out of business.

7) Maybe a dumb question, but why are you seemingly focused on a big exit rather than building a sustainable business?

Great write up on something I depend on a lot but don't understand well.

This also answers something I've always wondered about which is how Twisted and Tornado fit into the Python web framework landscape and whether I should use them.

> I also think developing features and improvements to Nix outside of it is a good way to prove out ideas that can be eventually merged in to core.

I think it definitely can be. Naturally, more DetSys code and ideas that go through that whole journey, the more likely Nixers will be to reflexively trust the company when it comes to new projects. I'm optimistic that that can turn out well.

> we've released a rather large suite of tools to make using Nix more pleasant and all but one (flakehub's backend) is free and open source. I feel that is a good way to go!

I think open-core and proprietary services based on F/OSS can be an effective business model that helps get valuable open-source work done.

For me, Red Hat's model and Qt-style dual licensing are even more attractive because they are based on comprehensive F/OSS licensing.

That said, companies have to figure out licensing strategies that make sense for them and the particular markets and software they're dealing with. I don't begrudge, e.g., Determinate Systems or Cachix or Hercules taking up strategies that involve proprietary services because I've seen people involved with all three companies continue to make important contributions to Nix, Nixpkgs, and F/OSS tooling in the ecosystem that's about more than just plugging into those services. That signals good faith engagement to me.

But seeing stuff like version management get handled in bespoke ways in proprietary services like FlakeHub or at Flox when it remains unaddressed in Nix itself naturally raises an alarm, though.

> We don't _want_ to be solving the version on the server,

I feel like that's good sense architecturally.

Seeing this problem solved in Nix itself will help establish a record and reputation.

It is nifty and mind-blowing. It basically means there is a way to "call" a program-file and let it decide who should interpret the program.

It is not too different from the way in which html-pages can declare what is the character-set that should be used to interpret the binary contents of the file.
The deep thing to me is that programs can not only encode instructions for the computer, they can also encode how to do the decoding. Obviously you then need some common convention (like shebang) to say how you can interpret the part that tells how to interpret the content.
Is there something along the lines of C4 that is biased towards systems and infrastructure? Eg SaaS architecture, PaaS components, or pluggable architecture? (I suppose you could use the first 2 or 3 layers of C4)
Nah, the reality is that most developer tools are B2C in disguise (with B2B pricing), and that in fact these polished marketing sites are perfect for the junior developers and PMs at large orgs who actually adopt free trials of things.

This kind of person doesn't pay for stuff or asks too many questions. "CTOs" are the worst customers. They are always nickel and diming, willing to go through immense grief to "just" "use" "open source" and squeeze free from everywhere. This isn't bad, it's aligned with successful businesses. I'm saying that the people who pay for stuff are lazy, too, in a good way.
Ask HN: Does anyone remember HS students that used automation to pass test?
Howdy! Basically, the title. There was a submission maybe about a year or two ago about this kid (and maybe his friend) where they used some sort of automation to pass tests at schools? It turned they had figured out a flaw in the system the school was using and they got a takedown notice or a "scare" from the vendor. At the end, the vendor was cool as long as they took down the repository.

I remember one of them graduated or drop out and moved to the US to work on his startup or something.

Does anyone remember this post?
Good for him. It's been years since I worked for a place that pays per hour. That's pretty much the point of exempt work: whether it takes you 10 hours per week or 60 hours per week, you're getting paid to get the work done.

Sorry Business Insider. If you're trying to get me riled up that a 900 billion dollar company can afford to pay to the equivalent of $375-750/hr for an engineer, sorry. Even at the bottom of the bell curve, he's bringing in more value to Google than that.

>Yes but optimally there would be at least some proliferation in index funds, and they would index differently.
Is there not? I rolled over a 401k a few weeks ago and had several indexes to choose from, each represented by multiple funds. The S&P 500 was included in some of those indexes. But there were plenty of options that did not touch the S&P at all.

> It's far too much mindless capital concentration.

Maybe it is. Maybe there is a systemic risk there. I have long thought this myself but cannot articulate the risk beyond "big money in small place". And I cannot rule out that there isn't a systemic risk and that the top 500 US companies are near-optimal allocators of capital. Therefore being the best place to send your money.

About the "mindless" bit. Index funds are mindless. That's their job. You put money in, it grows (or shrinks) with the market, all while keeping your guaranteed losses, aka management fees to an absolute minimum (I'm sure you know all this). Is that really a mindless choice? I do not to think so. I think of it like choosing Python over C when I just need to bang out a few calculations.

> When everyone blindly accepts a truth in investing, it's worth keeping an careful eye on it to make sure it stays true.
I think what you see as everyone accepting a blind truth is really a large number of people making rational individual decisions. If its truly mindless dogma everyone is following, and you are not, then congratulations - you are well positioned to "win" the investing game.

PMC has a lot of junk journals. Don't fall for them, especially if you want to use "Dr" in your nick. Most meditation research is rather low quality. Don't go around just googling your confirmation bias. One would not regard any journal on Ayurveda to have much scientific merit. It's essentially quackery. Their standards for peer review are low. This "paper" uses oxymorons such as "Vedic science".

Take this text for instance:
"A feedback loop to the DNA starts a new cycle to provide whatever is needed for the activities of the cell. In meditation, the feedback loop to the deep inner Self (the seat of knowledge, like DNA) provides inner peace and bliss, which removes the accumulated stresses of life and improves overall health."

That gibberish would be an instant reject from any serious reviewer. This is not how science papers are written. This is the snake oil of the meditation world I was talking about. Minus the citations, this qualifies at best as a Facebook post. This might be an example of how meditation makes an educated man talk silly.

I also know several meditators. Anecdotally, not one improved his powers of concentration with meditation. They procrastinate and get distracted like everyone else, all while claiming they feel so much focused after meditation. Maybe, meditation makes them feel focused, while not actually being so.
