Not to mention, along with the police brutalities, all the people, in the specific instance of SBF, whose lives have been financially ruined by this selfish, narcissistic asshole. Reading about them whining because he doesn't get his vegan diet and his Adderall is incredibly infuriating. Maybe don't be the way you have been? Maybe don't knowingly screw over so many people to the tune of BILLIONS? Maybe, then, don't continually break court-mandated rules?

Also, to be clear, I have no issue with vegan diet. I just think it's hilarious that that is a focus of theirs? Also, I take Adderall for ADHD so I understand how much it can help... but... MAYBE don't do what you did???? Do they expect him to live like he's in a resort?

Finally, I am a huge advocate for MUCH better treatment of prisoners on the whole. Prisoners in Texas right now with no form of cooling is absolutely awful and inhumane. You have people dying of heat stroke. The terrible medical 'care' in the prison system is so awful. The lack of rehabilitation services throughout the prison system is what keeps the rotating door rotating, and it is disgusting. The lack of support for people leaving prison and trying to reintegrate is beyond sad. BUT, this is someone who seems to have been fed from the silver spoon their whole life and clearly thought they were above it all. He wasn't raised on the streets and getting by the best way he knew how. He know what he was doing. He clearly used some of the money stolen from investors to try to hide that through the use of other politicians and their favor. So, why does anyone care about this entitled prick?

Mexico is basically in a civil war with drug cartels, whom are getting their arms from the US! Illegally of course, but still.

Good that you bring up Switzerland. Because they have a long history of a militia (!) based military. So, Switzerland is actually a good example what "a well regulated militia" looks like. Glad you see that.

Regarding statistics on gun violence in general, if ypu see no problem because war zones have bigger issues says a lot.
> Would be nice if users could give BLE permissions but _not_ GPS or wifi-based location permission to an app.

Not sure about iOS, but Android supports that for several years now (to the point where a given app only gets BLE access to one device it cares about which prevents data leakage).
It does seem like a self-parody.
Why make a judgement call based on something arbitrary instead of the actual content of what someone posts.

It's not arbitrary, arbitrary would be on whether the checksum of their last n posts was odd or even. Twitter Blue membership is a social and economic signal, and for people who want to use this extension the signal carries more weight than the content of the posts. Many perceive Twitter Blue users as being primarily motivated by marketing, scamming, trolling, or fanboyism, and paying money for the service to increase reach and influence for social activity that would otherwise languish in obscurity because it is low in quality.

In general one would like to judge social media posts by content, but that assumes a base standard of good faith and neutral market conditions. In a corrupted market, it's unwise to rely on such assumptions and rational to be distrustful of behavioral signals that correlate with previous negative experience.

It is possible to buy the full version on Vimeo. I just watched it and

tl;dw: The folks at General Magic invented/envisioned a mobile handheld computer with tons of capabilities and a human-centered user interface (aka the iPhone before the iPhone, but fifteen years before it). Development and investment proceeded with big hope, hype and excitement, but then the web became popular, which they ignored, and made personal computers more relevant, and Apple released the Newton at the time. They struggled to hit product release deadlines and when they finally released a product, sales were negligible. Soon, the company shut down because it failed as a business, to the great sadness and disappointment of employees. So a story of an idea implemented too early, before its time and technology had come and had a chance to be accepted by the public.

Thanks for the content free insult and wild hyperbole?

Mass cancels out and is irrelevant. "Train is Big" makes for a great red herring though. And "propulsion system", really? I'm pretty sure they both use wheels to accelerate and decelerate, not reaction mass or gravity bending sci-fi tech.

Both trains and cars have stopping distances that are proportional to speed, with the main difference being the constant factor. Therefore, for any desired stopping distance, we can set a maximum speed. This is done with cars, where areas of heavy interactions (cities), speeds are low. Moderate interactions speeds are moderate, and the onus is still on cars to stop even though it doesn't feel that way. And there are controlled access roads where speeds are high and you're not practically expected to stop for pedestrians in the road (though obviously you certainly should try).

Currently train tracks are treated as if they're controlled access, while often having few controls. That's the problem.

100% how awful it is for normal people. But, I don't give a damn about SBF's needs. He's fine. He is just an insanely entitled narcissistic prick.
The R/canada subreddit had a good breakdown last week

Essentially 92% of Canadians can't afford the average home based on the average income.

I think if you do "top" of the last month it'll be near the top.
That leaves out a lot of the story. Those purchased packages often went out of date after a couple years, I remember being stuck on a different version of omnigraffle than other people I worked with because it was a pain to go through procurement to buy a new version. This was a giant headache.

There are also new truly useful features that people have come to expect that doesn’t work well with packaged software. Online collaboration, syncing across devices, etc.
It seems possible that at some point you'll see a hybrid between the NYT and substack models - basically a pre-selected bundle of some subset of a bunch of authors' work where you -also- have an option to subscribe to a particular author directly. I'm sure such things are already possible but the thing I'm thinking of is the bundles not being exclusive, so a piece that's available in 1+ bundles is still also available as part of the full subscription.

(possibly combined with some or all of the options operating on a token model rather than a 'get exactly all of this' one)

Note that I'm only endorsing this so far as it seeming -possible- and not necessarily -good- or -successful-, and assuming somebody does try it your guess is at least as good as mine as to how it'll turn out.
One of my favourite bits of comedy is from Paul Tonksinon, an English comedian who is originally from Yorkshire. For non-English audiences, Yorkshiremen are considered very bluff and no-nonsense - the antithesis of “fancy”. Plain speaking is a virtue and anything that might even have a whiff of showing off or wanting to seem like you are better than others is treated with deep suspicion if not outright hostility.

Anyway, the set up of the joke is Paul Tonkinson worrying about a trip home, and he knows that he’s going to have to go to the local pub with his dad and his dad’s friends. Now he’s a famous London comedian and acclimatised to “London ways” he’s worried that he’s going to stick out like a sore thumb.

He goes to the pub, everything is going fine. He’s relieved. Until one of his dad’s friends looks him up and down and says “Alright lad? I hear you’re one of those London types now. You must be doing alright for yourself. Your clothes I mean - very fancy. Trousers! with pockets”

It’s much funnier when he tells it obviously. I’ve been trying to find a YouTube clip but can’t.
I'm a dude in his 50s now (that still feels weird to say), and I have to pee all the damn time. Going out in public always involves studying the restroom situation ahead of time. Even so, I've pee'ed in countless alleys, side-roads, and parking lots; I'm always discreet as possible, but I still don't like to do it.

New York City is the absolute worst. Disgusting doesn't bother me, but why are the damn subway restrooms always closed?!
Let’s see. South Africa. Well, most of Africa. Most of the Middle East. Anywhere in central or South America (with one or two small exceptions). Large swathes of Asia, except for China, and portions of India.

I’m pointing out that ‘everyone else has it under control’ is actually ‘a few Western European, a handful of ex Western European colonies, and a handful of totalitarian dictatorships have it under control’. And even then, not as under control or as different as the PR would necessarily lead you to believe.

The US gets the mindshare and publicity though.
It really varies. (And obviously the dollar amounts matter.)

Subscribe to software that is an ongoing part of my regular workflow(s) and is regularly being enhanced? I'm mostly OK with a subscription to that--see Lightroom/Photoshop for me.

What discussion? You're just saying how much you hated it.
You are predicating this entire discussion on your own personal experience. I have no idea what your income, credit rating, job, etc is, but as mentioned obviously people fall through the cracks and have trouble anywhere, at literally any time in human history. I mean, you mentioned that you looked for six years, yet even the US notion of a lack of "affordable" (which again, is a relative term) housing is a recent phenomena.

No, I'm not looking at teardowns. Many of these are absolutely gorgeous, extremely well-appointed homes. This is more than just touristy noise at this point: I am seriously considering relocating to the US because of what is happening in Canada, and have looked in depth at available homes across the nation.
One of my friends saw a job the other day. It was a non academic, non R&D, run of the mill marketing position that required… a PhD???. The pay was also pretty pathetic with the start of the range probably not much more than a PhD stipend. I was wondering at first if credential inflation had reached its peak, but someone else suggested it was H1B bait.
Just putting out there that it might still be a good time to go:

I can’t speak to Morocco, but a number of SE Asian places derive significant incomes from tourism — and losing that after natural disasters compounds the problem.

There’s a possibility that visiting Morocco is bringing needed money into their community (as long as you’re not going to areas short on supplies). You need money to rebuild.

And tourism is ~7% of Morocco’s GDP (as of a few years ago).

About investment: It wasn't just that it would take investment, it was that the investment option for making difference in emissions were not feasible. From the article:

> a facility that would use huge bioreactors to produce 10,000 metric tons of meat per year at an upfront capital cost of $450 million. 10,000 metric tons might sound like a lot until you learn that it would only amount to 0.002% of meat production in the US. Further, due to the high capital expenditure, investors would have to lock themself into 30-year repayment terms to keep the price per kilogram competitive
> ...
> So investors are faced with the “choice” of either throwing away absurd amounts of money to maybe make the tiniest dent in our meat production or to make a profit with a niche luxury product
People say that "they are literally Markov chains", but anyone who has looked at the code for LLMs knows that they are more complicated than that. I implemented Markov chains in BASIC in about ten lines of code in the 1980s on a 1 Mhz 64K Apple II after reading about the famous Mark V. Shaney hoax (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_V._Shaney). No neural nets or fancy GPUs required. It's one thing to stress that LLMs aren't magical or self-aware, but the fact is they are way more complicated than simple Markov chains.
Screw the exact model used. In number of gun deatshy mass shootings and the like the US is leading. Unless you want to dispute that simple fact. But hey, you do you, I am happy were I am knowing not every weirdo might have an arsenal at home his aon might take to my kids school or my office one day because he got up on the wrong foot.
A slow bleed by leveling out home prices. No appreciation, but no decline. Just let inflation catch up.

Even the ones where they lock the bathroom you don’t need to make a purchase. I just ask the worker to buzz me in and they let me. Its not making or breaking their paycheck to police the bathroom so they generally don’t care if you look like you won’t cause a mess in there.
Only tried chatGPT 3.5, but my god does it waffle on. Everything I ask ends with a paragraph saying "It's important to remember that..." like an after-school special from a 90s show. It can never just give you code, it has to say "Sure!, to {paraphase your question}, open a terminal...".

It's interesting to see 20th century sci-fi depictions of this kind of AI/Search is being short and to the point. I guess they can't have imagined what a mealy mouth world we live in.

Right. The fact that only a tiny few earn enough to live off hasn't stopped the music and book industries from existing well before subscriptions were a thing. The article is a collection of observations and numbers with no interesting conclusion.
Non-dairy milk is also more convenient, because it lasts for longer than a week. I'm not vegan, but I buy oat milk because I can leave it in the fridge, opened, for two months and it's still fine.
While I do understand your points and even agree overall... it's just so hard to have any sympathy for someone that feels almost sociopathic in their decision making to ruin so many people financially. It's very hard.
> There are numerous articles and studies now claiming to measure disinformation purely based on alignment

You are phrasing this as "being on Russia's side means you believe the propaganda" as if that somehow turns it into not a disinformation campaign.

How can something be disinformation in that mindset? You eliminated the category completely.

You phrase as if it is a marginal thing showing their bias is showing at the top, but then go to list the most egregious examples of disinformation as evidence... I mean at least your last three aren't explicitly false, so not all disinformation.

Disinformation is about false statements.

Neo-Nazi ideology being in Ukraine hasn't been meaningfully backed up by Russia nor is their any international precedent for such a thing being a justification for invasion. Remember the Nazis invaded first.

Revolution of Dignity was a coup by definition. If Hong Kong declared it was independent of China it would be a coup. It doesn't matter your feelings on the treaty saying it would be X years before control was taken or anything of that nature. Unilaterally leaving a parent entity is the meaning of coup.

Proxy wars are weird so your next two questions are odd. There is ambiguity in the question. Is the West using Ukraine to reduce Russia's power acting as a sort of proxy war? Certainly but since Ukraine is objectively the defender here that doesn't seem problematic, the alternative would be to let be invaded which while bad for the West is also bad for Ukraine.

I don't have any data on suppression based on language but also don't think mistreatment justifies invasion. We have economic pain points to push instead.
They have that for some restaurants in the US, but you can ask the worker and they will just give you the code.
I am not sure why you are arguing. Do you work for Google? It’s just a subjective opinion of a user.
Managing Your Psychology as a Founder
Disagree on first statement. It's what they do with it that matters, not what the contract says.

On the second point, sure, but so we have knowledge of what, how, and for how long, the carmakers are storing?
Have you tried asking it to not do those things?
And yet they are still delaying releases, canceling promising products, and making some questionable technical choices (like overhauling AVX512 and bifurcating the new standard, instead of uniting it like ARM and AMD did, among others).

I like Pat, I like what Pat says, I get plans are long term, but it still feels like the rubber is not meeting the road.
That's not GPT 3.5, that's ChatGPT. How waffly it gets depends on the context that was given to it by the people running ChatGPT; they likely told it to act as a helpful assistant and to give lots of information. If you run an LLM on your own, it's entirely possible to instruct it to be succinct.
Lots of people don't run their own email either!
lol, on Medium which I get a 50% banner ad asking me subscribe.
This is better that the regular benchmarks and LLM tricks such as passing some exam or other because it's unlikely that they were part of the training set for said LLMs. It also mirrors my experience, that GPT4 is way ahead of everything else but still manages to break in weird ways.

I think we are past the magical talking dog stage and being amazed that an LLM is able to output a Fibonacci function doesn't really help with the progress. As others have commented, this page is a step in the right direction (except the Fibonacci part :).

That being said, the fact that the questions are now online will make them part of the training set sooner or later. Which is to say the only way to reliably evaluate an LLM is by not leaking the test set and being deliberately opaque about what's being asked. Which raises some interesting trust questions.
It's OK if you pretend /pol/ doesn't exist. There's a reason oldfags refer to it as 'the containment board'.
Which type of oat milk is it? So far all the oat milks I've tried have been unpleasantly oily compared to soy or almond milks. Maybe I need to keep trying...

It still doesn't answer the question: if women complain so much about a lack of pockets [0], why don't they buy clothes with pockets? This article by HSW [1] suggests it's a "male dominated fashion industry." That doesn't sound right to me, being a free market. I suspect it's just that women don't actually buy pants with big pockets because they don't like the way they look.

Show HN: Shell demo for non-technical people

This is not an issue just for Australia. There seems to be an epidemic of stray cats here in the US also. Many come from people that leave their animals behind when they have to move, and the issue seems to escalate every time there is a downturn in the economy.
Right. He's been given way too much leniency already and look what he did with it. He's an asshole. He doesn't care. He cares about SAM, that's it. So, let him sit and cry because he 'has' to eat bread and peanut butter because he CHOOSES to stick to a vegan diet. I know plenty of vegans that, if presented with a situation where it was only PB and bread or other options, they would just say "Eh, well... I can just eat the other stuff for now because this is what there is..." That's a reasonable person. He is not reasonable and he is showing more and more how pathetically self-centered he really is.
There is no 'bipartisanship' on this issue as all major parties strongly support at least some mixture of policies that are known to increase housing prices.

Whether that's protecting farmland/parks/forests/etc., increasing immigration, increasing building standards, etc...

In fact, I don't think it's viable for any party to drop support for even two of those. e.g. I doubt there's much of a voting base for someone who's both hard on immigration and relaxed on environment issues to allow for huge housing developments on protected lands.
> How do you afford something that high?

Another simple answer is to have renters. It's not glamorous, it means people are in your space, but when it's necessary, it's necessary.
The intersection of "housing" and "Canada" makes these two topics basically identical from a HN discussion point of view.

The appearance of one thread on HN's frontpage often leads to follow-up submissions on related topics. We try to avoid giving such article clusters more than one slot, because frontpage space is the scarcest resource HN has: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que....

Normally we downweight the follow-up (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...), but in this case I let the follow-up "win" because it has a slightly more neutral basis for discussion, and the topic is flame-prone to begin with.
Top ~15% GDP is real estate followed by manufacturing
The latest IPCC report estimates that to limit warming to 2C (67% likelihood), we have a remaining carbon budget of 1150 GtCO2. Very roughly [1], that is about 142 tCO2 per person. Say you have 40 years of your life left. That is 3.55 tCO2 per year.

How do you divvy it up? Eating a kg of beef [2] per week means you emit 3.12 tCO2/year. Add whatever else food you consume, and that is your entire budget.

[1] ignoring people's ages and as yet unborn people. I use 1150 GtCO2/8.1 billion current people alive.

[2] The OP's OurWorldInData graph screenshot says beef emissions are 60, but the actual page says 99. Same chart. I don't understand. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/food-emissions-supply-cha... I used 60 in the calculation above.
In that case it would be really hard to believe a worker would hold you up. Ask for the code and they will give it to you if they need it. No one is so rigid about these things especially when you are a shift worker paid minimum wage.
