I don't know about the details, but even simply from watching HealthyGamerGG videos (which are quite good), the way he pushes his group counseling service(?) using essentially volunteers(??) who are licensed through him does seem suspect. Guess enshittification applies even to internet individuals.

You've completely sidestepped the analogy and are just talking past me.
Examples:

1.96 x 50 (mm) = 98; 98 - 88.1 =~ 10 years old.

1.96 x 86 (mm) = 98; 168.56 - 88.1 =~ 80 years old.

From age 10 to age 80, you gain, on average, 36mm of circumference.

Yep; I switched from Obsidian to Logseq because Logseq works the way I always wanted to take notes. They are both great tools, even if Logseq lacks some in the polish department (and honestly, it's pretty good).
There are about 20,000 hypothermia--related deaths a year in Britain, about 25,000--in the USA, 8,000 deaths a year in Canada. There are suggestions that the unofficial number of hypothermia--related deaths is substantially higher, particularity in the elderly.

Some statistical approaches estimate that more than 1,300 deaths per year in the United States are due to extreme heat, compared with about 600 deaths per year in the “underlying and contributing causes” data set shown in Figure 1.

C'mon, that's disingenuous. I don't want the top comments to be middlebrow dismissals or lectures about jokes or jokes themselves. The irony is that your comment to this effect is itself a shallow dismissal.

> HN tends to be little better than Reddit at either.

I assure you, you are wrong in this. There are times when I see HN threads devolve into Reddit-land, but it's fairly rare, and very noticeable when it happens, because it reminds me why I generally don't bother with Reddit, but am (mostly) happy here on HN.
I'm no expert but that plume could just as well be from explosion and there are no contrails visible. Also another point - SBIRS would likely detect the launch if it took place so we may actually know if us intelligence decides to leak that (which I'd expect they would).
> So long as you have the nitro.

What do you mean? Nitro doesn't offer much besides using cross-server emojis and custom profiles.
The consequence of user-feedback ranking systems tends to be that content needs to be either novel and attention grabbing, or already popular amongst the user base. Discussion that is niche, or just mildly interesting, is often given less attention than spam and trolling, just because it isn't attention grabbing enough to rise above the noise. The most active users of HN, Reddit, etc. are homogeneous and interchangeable because that is what the environment selects for. More distinct posters and groups exist but regardless of their quality, they will not be able to become more visible (actively engaging with the community) without losing that quality. Obviously, this phenomenon applies to more than just web forums.

No it doesn't, if the AAD is right.

> The AAD has previously said Nuyina “fits within the physical limitations set out by TasPorts for transiting under the Tasman Bridge”.

If the ship fits the limitations set by the Port Authority and is denied anyway, then that is not excellent reason, it's bureaucratic overreach. The fact that people died in the past ignores that there are several new safety precautions in place since then.

Maybe there's just overlap between CPTSD symptoms and ADHD, not that they're literally the same thing.
If this is aimed at me, its not that I believe the act of creating generative architecture software is trivial. Perhaps too flippant above. I believe it is probably quite challenging. Which is an excellent reason to create such a software, because it's much harder for someone to quickly steal or release a competing product. I was only surprised someone was not immediately using this thread to advertise their house generator.
I don't think my comment was uncalled for. The OP was worried they broke the TOS by writing their own service. I wanted to reassure them that any move by Obsidian to squash them would be met with incredible scrutiny.

I already pay Obsidian, both monthly and with the one-time donation. I mentioned it in my comment. My post was upvoted +3 until you responded with snark. Now it's at -4.

While of course different, this still reminds me a lot of almanacs of yore, some of which were somewhat poetic in character
How would one allocate Java objects using Go’s allocator, as a program written in Go? Does go provide such primitives?

Naively, something like:

// Called when the hosted JVM code wants to allocate
func makeJVMObject() (jObj, error) {
var obj = new(jObj) // on go’s heap
// do stuff
return obj, nil
}

would make sense, except how do we keep track of who’s referencing it? JVM objects have fields which tell the GC how to crawl the object tree in the mark phase (and so do Go objects), but how do we make the Go GC aware of the fields the JVM knows about? A map maybe?

Hmm, I guess a map could work… the jObj struct could have a map of fields it knows about, keys being the field name and values being where they point to…

Now that I think of it this probably must be how all GC’s work, they can’t rely on static information to know the fields of each type they’ve compiled, it’s gotta be something like a map somewhere.

I guess I may have answered my own question here.
No, you're right, it could also be years of ignorance from multiple levels of SpaceX combined with an obstinance to not consider changing their position even in the light of a federal investigation.

I don't think that's a particularly fair point - HSA/FSA eligibility is a billing related question. There are plenty of counseling services that aren't run by formally accredited folks that can achieve HSA/FSA eligibility. The billing arrangement isn't particularly relevant - I do agree that it'd be good to be more forward about the fact that you'll be talking to someone without formal accreditation.
It's new territory, not really just a tool nor just a box of things. I didn't want to overcomplicate my message so I went with asserting the box extreme as it puts the fuller range of legal options on the table.

I do think in it's current state it should lean more towards box than tool.

A tool typically doesn't create things on its own in a way that is hard to control. You need to use tools under your control. So I see the pain they feel to get specific results as in support of my claim that this is not simply a closed case classification as a tool that bears no responsibility.

If it is sharing responsibility with the user for the output, then I consider that a relationship and the output a transaction.

This protects users just as much as it limits their freedom of use. We don't control these models, and we should want protection against things it may create or hallucinate given our lack of control

I agree that prompt engineering is an art, but imo that gets you as far as claiming the prompt itself as art - not the output from the model given that prompt.
Ridiculous. This implies infinite supply. Neither the supply chain, nor nature is designed to churn out GPUs like this. That $ will take time to be captured.

I merely asked a question about the team's position on it.

To pick a random study of many: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29086104/

"Children with ADHD were more likely than controls to have ever experienced a traumatic event (27 vs 16%; OR: 1.99; 95% CI 1.21, 3.27). This difference remained significant in the adjusted model (OR: 1.76, 95% CI 1.03, 3.01) accounting for child factors (age and gender) and family socio-demographic factors (parent age, parent high school completion and single parent status). Among those with ADHD, trauma-exposed children had higher parent-reported ADHD severity and more externalizing problems than non-exposed children, however, this effect attenuated in adjusted model. Children with ADHD were more likely to have experienced a traumatic event than controls. The high prevalence of trauma exposure in our sample suggests that clinicians should evaluate for trauma histories in children presenting with ADHD. "

Or another: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27816036/

"Childhood Trauma Exposure is common in Substance Use Disorder patients and associated with adult ADHD but not with the persistence of childhood ADHD into adulthood. These findings suggest that the increased rate of adult ADHD in SUD patients with CTE is not the consequence of a negative effect of CTE on the persistence of childhood ADHD into adulthood, but a direct expression of the high rate of childhood ADHD in SUD patients with CTE."

Or this one: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19337826/

"Controlling for demographic variables, comorbid disorders, and ADHD severity, we noted significant associations between lifetime depression and environmental adversities, including victimization trauma, parent-child conflict, and behaviorally-independent negative life events. "
How much am I’m missing out on with tools like this or code pilot, compared to using GPT-4?

Cody is great, it had become my go-to (and I pay for Github Co-pilot).

With that said, they have recently changed the architecture, with the local install required, and I have not managed (yet) to get it working with NixOS.

Kudos to the Source Graph team, Source Graph's original product was nicely thought out and ahead of it's time. Nice to see how the original product gave a nice basis for building out Cody.

Personally I'd be fine if the humor and the condescending, egotistic, patronizing comments all went away.

I don't think humor in general is a bad thing (my friends would likely in part describe me as a wise-cracking, sarcastic jokester at times), but I just don't think HN -- or any sort of textual medium where participants don't know each other that well or at all -- is a great place for it.

Obviously we're all free to disagree on this (and we obviously are, given the size of this subthread), but I think overall the community agrees (through up/downvoting) that humor on HN should be fairly rare.
I think it might be the real deal, but their dated website, lack of internal visuals to show a heat exchanger or any substance to the machine, their tiny images, and using a WMV file as a video to demonstrate that there are 4 whole fans on a $700 metal box make me more than leery.

Either this thing is the greatest ERV in existence made by engineers who don't give a damn about form over function or it's a scam. There's no middle ground here, and I'm not willing to throw $695 (+$50 shipping) at what might very well be 4 120mm computer fans in a repurposed windows AC unit box.

I'm sure that this was peak entrepreneur web design in 2012 when they published this version of the website, but it's been 11 years, at least use Jeckle or Hugo or Gatsby or something to redo your site every 3 years or so to make it look like it belongs in the "modern" era.

Discord's killer feature is the voice channels. The ability to join/leave the call easily is great. You don't have to ping people to get them into the call. You just hop in, and people can filter in/out as they please. It's very convenient.
This is in the same category as people on dating sites complaining about wanting to know why they don't get replies to their messages or people wanting an explanation of why a company chose to hire someone else and not them. They say they just want feedback so they can get better, but 999 times times out of 1000, the reality is they start a fight if you actually give feedback. They don't want to improve. They just got their feelings hurt and want a chance to defend themselves. You're not going to please everyone all of the time. Just forget about it and move on.

I think they're HF averse because HF is fairly anti-NSFW content and it's pretty clear that civit.ai has a fairly large NFSW focused audience.

On top of that HF is just hard to use for your average user. Civit.ai is just "click to download" while HF is "look here's a broken model card... you can figure it out from here".

Despite the cute logo, I think most people find that HF comes across as fairly anti-user. Despite having years doing ML related work, I still find HF a bit byzantine to navigate.

This seems fairly trivial.

* Since safety regulations will be required for this, include a built in self test, with a refusal to engage self driving until the test/sensors are deemed safe enough.

* Race cars use a spool of plastic film over their cameras, so a clean window is always ready. That's on option. There's the standard wiper. If you look around next time you're out, you'll see that most cars are very clean. So, I think this would be a non issue for most people.

* Since the self test requirements may become more stringent over the years, cars that can't comply with the latest requirements can have an anual/semi annual verification, like we do now for emissions of older cars. Maybe as part of the standard, thresholds for the self test will need to be adjustable, to keep them in the "safe" range, and trigger earlier checks/cleaning.

* You have to compare all of this to having a human behind the wheel.
Did you consider a hot-then-cold shower? After listening to a Huberman Lab episode on deliberate cold exposure I've started doing 2-3 minutes of cold at the end of my hot shower.
