I mostly disagree with you, but see your point so I’ll try to clarify:

> The GP is asking a perfectly reasonable question about whether or not the hypothesis is at all justified.

The thing is that GP didn’t ask a question. They stated plainly that they “feel” it’s BS the authors “whipped up” because they had “nothing else to go on”.

I make no suggestion that we should agree with the authors. I do suggest that it’s wise to assume, lacking evidence to the contrary, that they’re acting in good faith whether right or wrong.

That’s what I’m ranting about, not that GP doesn’t agree with them.

And no, expertise should not be overrated, but surely it should be rated. Another major cultural problem we have is rank anti-intellectualism. A blithe dismissal of anything outside of one’s own common sense as not just wrong but actively disingenuous. That’s not a healthy skepticism, and it leads to no knowledge.
Is all the data on the internet from 2010 to 2025 that much more valuable than all the data on the internet from 2010 to 2022? Better data yes, but more data up to the present day? Do we really need that to keep improving AI?

GPT is already capable of incredible generalized language understanding and I'd wager we've long since hit diminishing returns from raw internet data. RLHF, fine tuning, and better (and more data efficient) architectures are what we need now.
> It doesn't throw a bunch of alien syntax at you, expecting you to decipher it like an ancient scroll

Sounds promising, but the first examples contrasts a React `useEffect` hook (a simple function call, into which you pass a callback and a dependency array) with

<script>
$: {
console.log("Count Changed!", count)
}
</script>

<!-- html -->

Which prompted in me roughly these questions:

- Is this actually just JavaScript?

- Oh, is `$` a label? [I googled this to confirm it is]

- I thought JavaScript didn't have a `goto` statement? [I googled this to confirm it doesn't]

- How does this ever get invoked? [I still don't know the answer to this question -- MDN says that labels can only be used with `break` and `continue` statements]

- Does it get invoked only when `count` changes?

- If so, how?

- If not, how do I specify the dependencies?

It might 'just work', but it's also not 'just JavaScript'.

It's been that way for a while before the Great Purge; at least a few years. This was a driver behind me unsubscribing from all of my subs and grouping them into multireddits instead and enjoying a blank front page.
a few points:

1. this speaks nothing to China's R&D.

2. SMIC's 7nm was developed in 2020, largely made possible by former TSMC engineers, like Mong Sang Liang, former head of TSMC's R&D, and now co-CEO of SMIC. China already had all the tools and lithos required for 7/5nm at this point.

3. main challenge was not of "if," but how fast they would improve efficiency, cost-effectiveness and yield rates at scale without ASML's EUVs.

4. most key executives at TSMC hold advanced graduate degrees from US universities and were trained at various US tech companies before returning to Taiwan (eg, Morris Chang, C. C. Wei). And they still send their kids to US universities.

5. US sanction was too little, too late. the most cutting edge 3nm would be difficult without EUV's, but Mong Sang Liang stated that 5nm was almost complete back in 2020.
Paulina24 | Senior Software Developer Frontend/Fullstack | Typescript, React, Remix | Startup | REMOTE within Germany (with some occasional traveling to meet up together)

Hi, CTO here :) Im currently building up the core tech team for our newly founded company Paulina24. We are tackling the problem of finding affordable elder care (in Germany).

We are pre-revenue, but well-funded by a reputable PE fund. Go-to-market MVP is in the final stages of development but everything is still very rough.

What we currently lack is an experienced Frontend/Fullstack developer, preferably well-versed in React or similar frameworks.

Read all about it here: https://paulinahilft.notion.site/Senior-Software-Developer-F...

A hedge is therefore a trade that is made with the purpose of reducing the risk of adverse price movements in another asset. Normally, a hedge consists of taking the opposite position in a related security or in a derivative security based on the asset to be hedged."

The wit and wisdom of a 109-year-old man
Not to say it wouldn't be useful to someone, somewhere, or save you 10 minutes, but I suspect if you are capable of replacing the control board and thermal fuse, willing and motivated to do so, have the equipment and workspace to do it, willing to spend almost as much on a replacement control board as you would on a new Instant Pot, and don't need a map of all traces or list of components, you can likely find the fuse yourself without much bother.

But that's still a different argument to the one I was responding to which was "People have a right to know what they're buying" - and the claim that products are "not too complex" for that. At the point we turn it to a diagram which says "fuse connects to System-on-Chip blob ground pin 0 and data pin 7. Button board connects to blob ground pin 0 data pin 8" are we any closer to "knowing what we're buying" in a meaningful way?
But that's easy to fix by putting in quotes. And Google will often highlight next to a search result "doesn't include <search term>", which you can click and Google will add the quotes for you.

If you put all terms in quotes, Google generally won't ignore anything. It will tell you it couldn't find any results though, quite frequently.
We in exUSSR joke about this, and recommend two books: Bible and criminal legislation.

It shouldn't affect corpus linguistics but the other way around, because all these things have long ago (even before computers) been legally contested by authors and publishers w.r.t. what can be done to text by dictionary makers and corpora managers without the authors' permission, so unless new laws get passed, the current precedents establishing what's permissible for corpus linguistics would still be valid and also be relevant for treatment of machine learning models.

In essence, the long established principles for text analysis is that facts about text (concordances, collocation statistics, n-gram counts) are neither copyrightable nor derived work, and thus can be calculated, gathered, used and distributed even if copyright holders of the source data object. Now a court might judge that training a large language model is substantially different or that it's effectively the same, but such a decision wouldn't affect corpus linguistics and how they use sample sentences, only whether LLMs get the same treatment or not.

It’s a different sport but in no way the “lite” version. A softball team walking onto a baseball field would probably lose. A baseball team playing softball would get annihilated.

But my point is that “hit (or throw or run) like a girl” isn’t the insult it’s meant to be.

My wife, a doctor, was in ROTC and graduated from Army Airborne School and has her jump wings. We taught our daughters (and sons) that “women’s work” is whatever they want it to be.
I suppose there's two parts to this question — morally and legally.

Morally, yes — You know the intent is not to share that content and you are deliberately circumventing the mechanisms to prevent access. I think about corner shops which have produce outside. It's obviously there for sale, but you can easily walk past and grab an apple without any intervention. The fact that they haven't instituted a complicated security system doesn't mean you are morally free from your actions. (I think it is fair to equate physical property with intellectual property in this case)

Legally, I think "no" — at least, I don't think it's been tested in court — but I can also draw a line to a "yes." If a court were to hold that a site's terms and conditions prevent you from accessing paywalled content, and you do so anyway, the argument could be made that you have intentionally accessed information without proper authorisation. But, its intellectual property, as long as you don't store it or re-transmit it, it would be hard to argue you saw it in the first place. Since it's already in the payload, it does raise an interesting question as to whether it was "accidentally/unintentionally disclosed." If someone sends you IP by accident which don't own, you don't suddenly get rights to it...

Of course this is absurd, but just because its easy to circumvent doesn't mean you didn't circumvent it. The CFAA can be interpreted quite broadly...
It took me a non-zero amount of time researching to discover all that--it's not like the GitHub information spells that out as an option.
When people talk about hating corporate America, the perf system is what they hate the most.

This system is dystopian. Here are a few reasons why:

- Every productive member is rated every few months by people who don't have a clue about the actual work

- Your success as an IC depends on how well your manager defends you, not on what you did

- You might abruptly get ejected from a company just because the manager of managers decided to implement a stack rank and you fall in the bottom - once again, unrelated to the actual work you did

- You are working in a "team" but apparently competing against them because you don't want to fall at the bottom of the ratings system. If someone asks you to design a system where team members sabotage each other, what would you design?

- Collaboration is actively discouraged. No force multiplication, no mentorship except the fake "mentor" system established by corporate.

- The work you do doesn't matter. All that matters is performance ratings. Which means all that matters is bootlicking the right manager. You can NEVER have differences from a manager even if they are falling off a cliff.

And this is why the average tenure in tech companies is 18 months. Most people get tired of the management song and dance, dancing to ratings pretty quick. It's not that people are lazy. It's that the place of employment is actively hostile. People suffer through mental issues when working in a place that treats its own employees like enemies.
The key word here is "indirectly". You can get away with killing people too, if you do it by a traffic accident for instance.
Aaaaahhh, Jester. Barely understanding English but feeling that "fuck reputation!" so much, even as a little kid.

The basics never end. There is no strict vertical.

When you stir-fry vegetables, salt the oil before adding the aromatics. That's basic. How many years was it until I figured that out? How many pro chefs have never figured that out? What's pro?

What about mincing your meat with one cleaver and one chef's knife? Not two cleavers. Not two chefs knives? That's basic. For a certain type of mince. How many people figure that out? It's basic once you know it. I'd bet that isn't taught in a masterclass.

There's no end to basics. There's a great chance your tomatoes don't come from the same vine as mine. Make it your own.

The reverse side is food engineering. When you're controlling for consistent results to ensure every loaf of bread of today's batches of 100,000 loaves are identical to yesterday, or last year. That's another ball game, and perfecting today's 100,000 loaves doesn't transfer much to making a pesto.
I don't get what you're saying.

Yes conditions could be better for programmers, but they're nowhere near as bad as for voice actors.

> I'm sure they'd also love to do part-time gig work and be guaranteed a full-time income from it, but that's usually not an option.

And voice actors would love that too. But they don't get it, that's the point. And "part time" is hiding the fact that, as I said elsewhere, they're often preparing for 50 auditions to get a single gig. It's not like there's an agency that just hands out work.

I sorta get it-- Svelte is simpler than React (at least at face value).

What I don't get is why as an industry we are hung up on this need to do so much with JavaScript. In the end, Svelte is an incremental improvement over the thing that came before it. It will remain so until Svelte++ or whatever comes next.

Great... but who cares? I wish we would spend more time thinking through new (or old) solutions to the problem we are solving. It's why HTMX gained some hype... but it's just the beginning.

Ask HN: In person industry tours and site visits?
The head master of my primary school took a small group of students every semester on industry site visits.

I believe these site visits played a meaningful role in developing my engineering and entrepreneurial interests/thinking. Although I only vaguely remember the details, I do have a strong lasting impression of the locations/factories we visited and people we met.

I got to see a plastic pipe molding facility, coke cola bottling factory, first wind power turbines in Cape Town area and assembled a door alarm prototype at the neighboring university. This was all before the age of 13.

In university I had similar practical exposure doing an internship at a boiler manufacturing factory, chicken processing plant and finally a tech startup.

I truly cherish these experiences and glimpses into the real world. Obviously I knew very little of what was really going on, but these experiences helped me build a sort-of mental map to unpack my options at the time.

Do you think practical site visits as a teenager is a good idea? Have you had similar exposure and did it have a lasting impact on you too? Do you think we need to create more opportunities like this for students?
Remix with react (just for the Jsx) seems like the sweet spot for me. 90% html and Js apis, with minimal magic to keep things component based and dynamic. Feels like the good ol days of PHP and ajax forms
> I don't understand the cult following around Svelte. There's a lot of magic and complexity hiding in there.

What's new is old again :) People started doing React because they got tired of mixing languages for logic, structure and styles, why not do it all in JS? They got tired of that, so why not separate them? They got tired of manually doing bindings, so now that's hidden behind abstractions ("Hello 2000s templating magic"). I wonder what they'll get tired of next.
Yeah, comparatively `useEffect` is much more "Javascript".
I would not be so optimistic to say 99%, but I think a lot of things like that could be actually assigned to some rules that are, well, actually applied pretty consistently. E.g. isn't devoicing of 'w' in 'wszystko' just the case of clusters of voiced and voiceless consonants? Similary 'Hodów' shows devoicing consonants at the end of a word.

I'm not sure about 'ą' - some examples would handy, but if we are talking about differences due to regional accents then following rules would be perfectly fine. With 'ę' - how do you pronounce 'część' actually? Again, I think the worst that can happen normally would be to be judged as 'ą ę'* ;)

I think that in general Polish pronunciation is fairly 'regular' and with applying just a few rules you would be almost always OK. Obviously I haven't try to learn Polish as my second language.

* For non-Polish speakers - if someone is 'ą ę' it means that (among others) he/she tries to be overly 'correct' in pronunciation.
Right, but then you are invoking curl several times, and so not reusing a single connection, as you would with wget -i, so it still loses.
I second that it is weird to read this from TVP source. I highly recommend to read Noam Chomsky's article on Eastern European dissidents [1]. Really hits home what exceptionalism is, by just showing in contrast to what happens in other parts of the World.

Also, highly recommend "The Last Of The Just" by André Schwarz-Bart. It is soo good that there is nothing else for me to say than to just read it. I've read it once Chomsky stated in one of his interviews that it was one of the best (if not best) books written on Jewish history.

i don't think gp necessarily meant that everything always worked out well and that there never were disagreements. I might be very wrong but what i took away from it was that no matter how much of a plan / how strong a policy you make, you're going to need to make some compromises unless you want to become the sort of parents we had (generalizing greatly).

FWIW, after listening to Chuck Peddle's CHM Oral History interview, I sort of realized I didn't need the ARM ecosystem and just designed my own 6-bit microcontroller. Granted, I'm only doing some very simple control applications and fabbing at 800nm, so it's not going to be competing with an i7 or an A72 anytime soon.

IIRC, the RISC-V spec includes an "embedded profile" that specifies a CPU with 16 32-bit registers, so that should make RV32 even smaller than it would be otherwise. SiFive designed a dog-simple 2-stage pipeline 32 bit core that could even run without I-cache. I mean, it's not a speed demon, but it was implementable in many fewer gates than their earlier E cores.

I worked at SiFive for a year and couldn't make sense of their product strategy. But maybe that's a me problem and not a SiFive problem.

I really do sort of wonder what they're doing with 175m in Series F funding. Where do you go from there?
The debate about Vitamin C in the cancer world is never ending. My wife had stage IV colon cancer a few years ago, and we went through tons and tons of research to try and find things to supplement her chemotherapy. A lot of the "alternative" medicine people suggest doing extremely high dose Vitamin C intravenously because supposedly at higher doses, it becomes oxidative and generates free radicals in the blood stream which can kill a lot tumor types. Her oncologist didn't like the idea because there is also lots of research that says it spurs growth in tumors. He said that Vitamin C gets studied so much because it's cheap to get, but it's never really produced any meaningful results. There was a study he liked about taking extremely high doses of Vitamin D, but I can't really remember why.
