I’ve never been to the US, so I don’t have a good idea of what it is like there, but over here I lived for a couple years in a poorer district of Warsaw, where I would never be able to get good sleep, because there would either be a neighbour screaming out of nowhere in the middle of the night, or a party going on with music on full blast a floor up the whole night. Every night. Police wouldn’t do anything about the noise. It was also commonly accepted to smoke in the stairwell, leaving the cigarette dust on the floor in little dunes. A couple times I found a big pile of crap (once it was literally cow crap size) left in the middle of the first pavement tile at the exit of the building. I moved to a more expensive district. One of the best decisions I made in my life for my mental health. So it’s not a crime problem, but it is a real problem of public order, tidiness, peacefulness etc.
OK, thank you :)
FWIW I can't build OpenAI into our product without huge headaches around privacy policies and getting additional customer consent. I can build Amazon services into our products because Amazon is a trusted vendor and we use an AWS stack already.

Because Anthropic / Claude is available via Amazon Bedrock, they have a significant advantage in any company that's already using AWS. If you're on Azure, OpenAI has that advantage.
>The mentally ill, the junkies? You need services that give them a way out

For sure. But if you have limited resources, and sane, sober people will get a job and support themselves, feed themselves & keep their room clean and undestroyed, vs someone with "complex needs" who will do none of those things, when you have limited resources to work with, what will you choose? Help one ill person who will (potentially) harm others, (likely) harm the resources you give them, or five people who don't need the extra help?

It's heartless, but resources (for these services) ARE limited. Would you, could you, make a different one?
This is the key factor that I think a lot of HN pundits are not understanding on this topic.

The answer to "How can the judge do that" is: judges have broad leeway over how they interpret "fairness" in their courtroom. It is incumbent upon the parties in the lawsuit to disagree with the judge; silence implies assent.

So the question people should be asking isn't "How can the judge be allowed to do that?" It has a simple answer. "He's a judge and this makes the most sense to him."

The interesting question is "Why isn't the DOJ challenging the judge's seals in the interest of public knowledge?" And here you have your answer: the Executive over the past several years has seen fit to lean in the direction that it is not necessary to flay trade secrets out into the public sphere (a harm that cannot be reversed) to conduct a prosecution. It is, in their eyes, a better pursuit of justice.

(If the public disagrees, recourse is through making it an electoral issue for choosing President or pressuring the legislature to pass a law that constrains a judge's authority on protecting trade secrets).
openai chatgpt seems to be stuck in a "Look, cool demo" mode.

1. According to demo, they seem to pair voice input with TTS output. What if I wanna use voice to describe a program I want it to write?

2. Furthermore, if you gonna do a voice assistant, why not go the full way with wake-words and VAD?

3. Not releasing it to everyone is potentially a way to create a hype cycle prior to users discovering that the multimodality is rather meh.

4. The bike demo could actually use visual feedback to see what it's talking about ala segment anything. It's pretty confusing to get a paragraph explanation of what tool to pick.

In my https://chatcraft.org, we added voice incrementally. So i can swap typing and voice. We can also combine it with function-calling, etc. We also use openai apis. Except in our case there is no weird waitlist. You pop in your api key and get access to voice input immediately.
> Your brain doesn't solely pick the next best word.

Wasn't the latest research shared here recently suggesting that that is actually what the brain does? And that we also predict the next token in our own brain while listening to others?

PGMQ does not require a client library, https://github.com/tembo-io/pgmq so long as your language of choice can run SQL. All the functions live in Postgres, and you just call them with SQL statement. Very similar feel and semantics to SQS.
What a lovely machine. Can go places goats can't get to; and dig like a wild boar while its there.

This thing must depend on its hydraulic fluid like a human depends on blood. Its circulatory system is probably slightly less complicated than a human's; but I'm willing to bet its far more effort to maintain.

I've seen an excavator break its arm while digging. (right behind the upper hinge; they welded on gusset plates all around on site and kept working.) I think this kind of machine would shear wheels off long before that; I wonder about how they've balanced the pumps and whether there's governors to keep it from breaking itself.
> Q: In one of your talks you mention that the correct way to understand Einstein’s revolution is not as a theoretical, but as a technological revolution. Can you explain what you mean by that?

> A: ...A very interesting question is why and how Einstein’s work was able to shed its mundane origins and parade itself as theoretical, cosmological and universal.

The "mundane origins" here are Einstein's uses of the mostly then-relatively-new technologies of clocks, trains, bullets and rulers. I feel that the view Canales is setting out here is a mistaken reading of the history, and that Einstein was addressing "theoretical, cosmological and universal" concepts from the beginning, only referring to mundane entities for pedagogical purposes. By the late 1880's it was becoming clear that some of the further implications of Maxwell's electromagnetic theory were at odds with cosmological assumptions, a tension made more pointed by Michelson and Morley's 1887 aether-wind experiment.

I had a similar thought. It seems like an attack on morality, implying that there is no true morality or God-given conscience, only fear of consequences.

> After exactly 6 hours, as planned, I stood up and started walking toward the audience. Everyone ran away, to escape an actual confrontation.

Hard to judge from the wiki page, there are so little details, but this sounds fake and staged. I think there were less stunts back then so people were more trusting. At any rate, I get strong vibes of some kind of agenda here, and you're right that it's probably not a godly one.
KSP2 isn't an enshittification play, imo. It's literally just bad project management.

I'll list their sins from my armchair:

- remaking a beloved, established game that has a prodigious base of features and extremely extensive modding support. you have a HUGE hill to climb just to get to your "MVP" - you have to supplant the existing game plus its modding community, and this is already a niche audience of ["people who find orbital mechanics as a primary gameplay loop to be fun"]. They were always going to need to really fucking knock it out of the park on their first at-bat to make this work.

- doing so on a short time-frame

- trying to be all artsy about it too. not that that's a bad thing, but it does position you to take your time rather than going fast. and like I said, they already had a steep hill to climb.

- standard-issue development hell. it happens.

- special-issue development hell where TTWO did some fucky-wucky stuff where they hired away a ton of the staff from the studio they were contracting with, cancelled the contract, and brought it all in-house with the poached team. Hardly an encouraging sign.

- with all the delays adding up, I suspect they were given the ultimatum to either ship their current state into EA and start recouping money, or get scuttled. People have allegedly looked into the code and found extensive additional systems that were basically hastily commented or hacked out so they could ship some vaguely-functional core.

I was really, really looking forward to KSP2. KSP1 but with good graphics, a non-unity engine (it was always a miracle that squad had gotten such good large-scale physics out of unity), and promises of official support for non-kerbin bases and interstellar travel? Yes please, sign me up!

But honestly, my mental model for how this would be successful was "they'll reimplement the existing base game in a new engine. big task but doable for TTWO's money, it's not indie anymore, and they obviously already understand the product. Then, with the base game ported, people will be willing to buy in EA because they see the promise of 'KSP but more!!!'". And that last bit was going to be critical, they'd need people bought-in if they wanted TTWO to keep funding them / them keep funding themselves.

So when they launched this scrap heap into EA, I knew it was doomed. And look at the, what 8ish months between then and now? They've released a few quaint patches that ignored all the huge issues and done basically nothing else.

I fully expect them to now slowly wind the EA down with a skeleton crew and people will just forget it to an ignoble death. I mean, TTWO can hardly be keen on continuing to pour development funding into this EA, right?

If zoning regulations mean you're only going to be able to service 1/4 of the annual new construction demand, then the smart money is on serving the high end of the market. If things get zoned in a way that you can serve the whole market and not just the top end, you can bet that people will figure out how to build those units too. The market has been artificially constrained so that developers are making the choice between the segment of the market they want to serve, not serving the whole market. If they had the access to serve the whole market, we'd see someone who can get creative and do it cheaper, or more efficiently to compete on price instead of luxury.

This is generally caused by strict land use and single family zoning. In a situation where you can build a duplex/triplex/4plex on every single family lot, you can run an excess of housing in the areas that people actually want or need to live in which allows people to compete on other market factors like price.
There was no “20 person writers room minimum requirement.”

The exact proposal on minimum staffing by the WGA in May was: “1 writer per episode up to 6 episodes, then 1 additional writer required for each 2 episodes after 6 up to a max. of 12 writers.”
>And while random commentators on the internet are not obligated to honor it, law enforcement is supposed to.

This is not the standard actually applied to law enforcement in the US. You can be convicted of nothing other than resisting arrest. Resisting arrest for what? Literally does not matter.

Also if you are arrested and found innocent, you are not compensated in any way for that arrest, which was clearly wrongful. Police in general are simply exempt from unlawful detention, except in cases of a well connected individual.

Given that TheWorkNumber exists (a service that does the opposite; allowing prospective employers to view your salary history as reported by your previous employers), this is a good counterbalance in negotiating power for workers. If you've been very underpaid, it'll be a lot harder for your next employer to offer you a 10% raise if you know the bottom end of their advertised range would be a 60% raise.

I think the commenters here focus too much on themselves and people like them. This law was not written for SWEs with a market value of $120k/year who are being paid $80k/year. 0-60th percentile income workers are getting absolutely hosed and need every bit of negotiating power that they can get.

Our working and hiring culture is very weird and favors employers. Anyone can be fired at any time for (almost) any reason, so your ability to pay rent and put food in your mouth depends upon your ability to find another job. When that process involves several dozen or hundred job applications, long hiring timelines, multiple interviews across days, weeks, and months, >60% rates of ghosting at every step, and exploding offers, lower income workers are often forced to accept the first offer they get regardless of how much lower it is than their true market rate. This wage transparency policy helps low-wage workers avoid entering the long hiring pipeline for jobs that pay abysmal wages.

It is a strong net-positive for these workers who need it most.

It's possible some of it is simple prejudice. But personally I'd bet the bigger factor is that people don't want drug deals and gunfights happening right outside their house. (How much of that fear is rational vs prejudice, I'm not sure, but I'd bet it's a lot more than "none at all".)

I don't have anything concrete to substantiate this assertion though (no more than you gave anyway), so I guess we'll just agree to disagree on this point...

Setbacks, parking requirements, and permits are some of the imposed fixed costs that a developer would have to pay to make a 0 square foot apartment. Then you have natural fixed costs of design, engineering, acquisition.

Still, it mostly comes down to a developer's understanding of the market. We're so housing starved that there's demand at all size levels. Why would they choose the less profitable path?
This is also true of humans. Many school students will hands in answers they don't understand in the hope of getting the mark and then try to cover themselves when asked about it, even if they repeat the same mistakes.

Everyone seems to love shitting on KSP2, when the same people forget what KSP1 was like in Alpha. No science, shitty graphics, excessively wobbly rockets, inconsistent orbits, (other than graphics) seems familiar?

It took a looooong time for KSP1 to get where it is now, it will also take awhile for KSP2 to be as polished.

Chill out.

> I work in a very regulated organization where all pay rates are published with postings.

> But the ranges are $20-40k for each grade and it’s hard to tell what you will end up being offered and accepted

Is it really that hard in fed land? I work for the state of California, and which has a similar level of regulation and similar posted ranges, but its pretty trivial most of the time to know exactly where you’d be set. I mean, its not 100% accurate, but this is right most of the time:

If you are apply from outside the system, you will be offered the exact bottom of the range and there will be no flexibility.

If you are inside the system, if its a lateral, you keep your pay. If its a higher range, you move up by the lesser of 5% or to the minimum of the new range. Also with no flexibility.

The circumstances with any flexibility are very limited, what you get is almost completely determined by how you got to the job.

> The privacy implications are serious and need to be accounted for.

Of by-employer actual pay distribution disclosure? Is that why public sector employers pay a hefty wage premium because their employees pay data is public on an individual level, which obviously has even greater concerns?

Oh, wait...
> The advice varied to return but keep looking, don't return, or demand more pay to return.

Sounds about right to me. "Return but keep looking" is probably the nightmare scenario for the employer. The worker hasn't found a job yet, and is only going to be 50% paying attention when they come back.

(Not judging the employee here. Just the idiot that order the lay off of people the company needed.)

Agreed. Small correction - it wasn't known to be used in any therapeutic capacity until the late 70s after Alexander Shulgin first synthesized it and exposed it to broader academic circles.
I was told such things too. I also can process numbers. I knew that taking on an extra cost I could not pay would not be worth it without a guarantee of a high paying job, which is not something offered by going to school.

The younger generations certainly seem capable of that reasoning. They aren't taking on nearly as many student loans.

> I don’t see the catch 22? Google is entitled to a legal presumption of innocence like any other organization,

There's no presumption of innocence in civil matters.

Since this is being tried entirely as a civil matter (and not as a criminal case, as far as I am aware[1]), there's no presumption of innocence, no "beyond reasonable doubt", there's only "preponderance of evidence".

[1] Unless it really is being brought to the court by the state prosecution, in which case it probably is a criminal matter.
