In the ideal world we would be able to compare a privately built and insured road to a public road with tax payer liability for mishaps. I suspect the reality of a privately maintained road is still subject to regulatory overhead.
the point of paying attention here is not to focus on the content but to drown out other thoughts that keep you awake.

for me that would be something that i would like to dream about, so i'd focus on the story just enough so that i can take it into my dreams.
I hope this won't result in Bandcamp going to shit, but I have to say I'm pretty worried. It's the only place I buy music. Band releases album -> I buy it. When I'm looking for new music, I typically look at the collections of other people who bought an album I enjoyed.

> Not some hand wavy "work smarter" bullshit.

If you're so violently opposed to the notion that hours spent "butt in seat" is a good metric for entitlement to compensation, why exactly are we having this conversation on HN?

> What we do know, (and you know this as well you're just not thinking critically) is that over a large population those that generally work more hours get more done and do better across the board.

Interestingly there are studies demonstrating that the absolute loss of productivity from 4 day weeks compared to 5 day weeks is negligible in most jobs. Even for 25 hour weeks (i.e. 5 hour days) the absolute loss of productivity is not even remotely proportional to the difference in hours. There have even been examples of one full time job being split into two part time jobs resulting in greater productivity. Turns out most jobs (and especially knowledge work or creative work) don't function like conveyor belt manufacturing.

> This isn't a strawman, it's called common sense.

I'm starting to believe you don't know what either of these two things mean given that those two things aren't mutually exclusive nor do they apply to the same thing. Also common sense is a heuristic, not an empirical source. It's just a fancy way of saying "gut feeling" rather than looking at actual research.

> What are you implying? that women are smarter than men so of course if they put less hours in their smartness suddenly makes up for the stupidity that is men? Come on.

Again your unstated prejudices are showing. And again I have to remind you that at no point did I say two people working doing the same work for different amounts of hours should be paid the same wage. This is your strawman you seem to want to attack, not something I said.

> There are enough exceptions that someone can construct a counter argument/research paper via miscellaneous examples but the general majority across current cultures and past cultures that men take on the bread winner role.

Because god forbid someone debunks the renaissance era myth of the hunter-gatherer division of labor, I guess, despite zero archeological evidence for it and plenty of counter-evidence from looking at isolated indigeneous communities still in existence at the time. I guess it's just "common sense" that things have always been as they are and there's no such thing as a cultural bias that may inform our interpretation of data about the past, especially during the early stages of modern science when we tried to interpret the past through the lens of understanding ourselves to be at the pinnacle of human evolution.

Sorry, you're of course right. Historical studies and archeology never evolved past 19th century navel-gazing and if it feels true to you that is the absolute standard for empirical evidence we should all adhere to. Men always won the bread, whatever that means for a pre-agrarian society. One man, one woman, barefoot and pregnant at the stove as god intended. All of history just incidentally happens to reflect the cultural mores of early modern European aristocracy that rediscovered it. Sorry, I really have to tap out now. You've won this debate with facts and logic.
That opening for the Wikipedia article looks problematic - it's grammatically nonsense and has random numbers in it - someone should probably open a talk discussion on what happened

Edit: yeah that looks like a recent edit. I thought Wikipedia was supposed to be pretty good about flagging this sort of stuff? Does anyone know how to raise the problem to those super editors that run the site? I assume they won't appreciate a random person undoing an edit

> could be solved if every guy had a genuine platonic friend who is a girl. No data point other than every guy that I know who has close friend girls, never had problems with masculinity or something. And the opposite is true as well.

Feels more probable that it's the other way around. Those that don't have problems with their (toxic) masculinity can likely maintain platonic relationships with any gender.
$30M for a company whose income and loss is generally in the tens or hundreds of millions per quarter is significant.
I would argue that one major issue is cost vs revenue vs moderation; that is, a Twitter or Reddit clone is not hard to make, but it's hard and expensive to scale and monetize, and really hard to keep it 'safe', that is, not let it turn into a wretched hive of scum and villany.
I put on a show on my iPad I know really really well so it’s slightly enjoyable to drown out my mind otherwise racing but not new enough to keep me awake listening.

I’ve watched the first ~5min of Arrested Development seasons 1-3 probably 100 times at this point. Before that it was pirated copies of Simpsons or South Park episodes (years and years ago).
ChatGPT is a single pass for each character. It can't "think" in English then translate it.
It will often respond in English instead of the language you are using.
Yes, it's better in English than any other languages, because the English dataset is bigger, and that's why an English AI will always be slightly better with the same technology.
Yeah, but firing them would make the next family thanksgiving for the chief mightily awkward. Small town PDs are usually family businesses.
I have started to journal last month. I came to it through pens when I randomly decided to find a good pen when I got interested in it through some youtube videos(wow, YT actually working as intended, for once). To anyone interested, Pentel Energel 0.7mm is the best gel pen in the entire world, hands down. For oil-based ink, it would be Uniball Jetstream, i guess(i am gel guy). I always wanted to journal and thought it would be great to be able to read my worldviews, problems and daily life from years ago. But I just never did. Anyway, second month in, I must say, i love it. Not because of writing about some interesting philosophical topics, but rather because it allows the brain to dump all that chaos out(onto the paper) and allows me to focus more or just be chill in general. It literally frees your thinking. Like clearing up your RAM. I would never thought this would be the main effect but it is. If anyone wants to try, I recommend getting a notebook with 100gsm blank paper. They are hard to get though. Mostly you will find either dotted paper or 70-80gsm. Do not compromise on the density, dots vs lines vs grid vs blank is personal preference. Preferable is black pen over blue one, but again, PP. Blank pages impose no restrictions on you in regards to formatting though. There are well price notebooks on aliexpress, look for dot ding, legendary notebooks or paperideas. Soft or hard cover is personal preference as well. Format, A5 is the best/most practical. If you go with A6, note that most items are actually close to A7 so make sure you buy a correctly sized one. And smooth PU leather cover will catch fingerprints, so go mesh or rougher PU surface. As for hand writing, the slower you write, the prettier it will be. You have to find your own tempo where you are satisfied with speed and the look of the letters.
This is easy to check. Yes, premium listens are pooled separately from ad-supported listens.

If an artist is extremely popular with ad-supported listeners, that doesn't let them eat into the pool of payments from premium listeners.

Note, however, that listens are pooled by country, not per user. So premium accounts running background music in a hair salon 6 days a week will decide where your subscription money goes far more than the music you listen to.

Originally, this was because the big record companies demanded it. Now, the record companies are having second thoughts, but Spotify, which has adapted to the funding key favouring background music, are the ones resisting.
They aren't part of C, they are compiler specific extensions.

Any language can have compiler specific extensions.

Playing fair game, all non toy languages can load modules written in Assembly.

In fact that was the only way in K&R C, compiler extensions came later.
Right. That's been my experience so far, hence my question.
Reform the police, demilitarize the police, deescalation for police, stop police violence, accountability for police, teach cops to be kind, etc... Of course they're not "critic proof" - someone motivated to twist words will find a way. But they'll have to twist words, whereas now they just use their plain, literal, unambiguous meaning.

But there's a good reason why defund/abolish the police is sticking around - because a significant part of the activists do mean it [1] (ACAB didn't come from nowhere), and the moderate faction that doesn't mean it literally is unwilling to part from the radical faction that does.

Anyone supporting the moderate faction is in a thorny position - do they think the moderates will grow a spine and stand up to the radicals once they've achieved their goals, or will they continue to meekly let the radicals set the agenda?

[1] Yes, We Mean Literally Abolish the Police [..] There is not a single era in United States history in which the police were not a force of violence against black people. Policing in the South emerged from the slave patrols in the 1700 and 1800s that caught and returned runaway slaves. In the North, the first municipal police departments in the mid-1800s helped quash labor strikes and riots against the rich. Everywhere, they have suppressed marginalized populations to protect the status quo. - https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/12/opinion/sunday/floyd-abol...

I follow some in data engineering world. I was wondering if there was some more dedicated to frameworks, methods, technics (rather than technology)
Spacetime (might be) infinitely large, but that doesn't imply that there is infinite matter or energy.

That said, this is kind of a dumb argument because far lower k values have lower BB(k) values already exceed the apparent information value of the universe at any given instant. Maybe there is infinite energy and matter, but that's also irrelevant if we can't perceive more than a finite subset of it.

Edit: well, i guess what would matter would be the information value of time, multiplied by enough bits to store the machine—I'm not sure i'm literate enough in the area to compute that. But, assuming that the heat death of the universe reaches a single (possibly compressed) end-state, it should still be finite—it's seeming quantized, anyway.
All they need to do is put the word in quotes. ChatGPT Equivalent begins to "think" in Estonian.

Any better suggestions? Thinking itself isn't exactly a rigorously-defined word. Do animals think?
More of a press release than anything else. Could one actually train something interesting on a processor like this? I assume you'd need a pretty custom toolchain. Hard to imagine where these processors would have a competitive advantage (but would love to hear if anyone has encountered something like this in the wild)
Wales' 20mph speed limit: How has the first month gone?
This is just FUD.

Making sweeping statements like “The US lacks effective regulation and the precautionary principle with respect to chemical safety, agriculture, and food safety.” tells me nothing other than your opinion.
I see this discussion has gone deep into so called technical managers and their effectiveness, even their necessity.
I feel there is no clear answer possible. We are trying to objectively analyse what is not objective in the first place.
Before we discuss necessity of some role we need to define it.
Who is a good technical manager? What do they bring to the table?
Definitions anyone? I can try but it will be subjective. I am sure there are different sets of opinions around what %mentoring and IC they should do.
In fact, can we even define software engineering role and standards? Someone who writes code to solve a problem? To me a good one will write concise code thats easy to change making good use of available tools and paradigms. I have already used several vague terms.
My point being, we are in a profession where entry barriers are low. Role responsibilities and standard of good work are contextual and opinionated.
That has a direct impact on your experience with peers and managers.
You are not always going to approve of the number of managers, their level of tech involvement etc. Have clarity on what you can tolerate and what you cannot compromise on.
The words "blame" and "guilt" do not even appear in the article, and "fault" only as part of "segfaulting". Rachel merely points out an easy-to-make mistake before others make them, to save them time. She isn't talking about who is to blame. No need to get defensive.

No, we cannot.

Show HN: SingleAPI – Convert the Internet into your own API
Hi! I created a universal data API that uses headless browsers and GPT to extract any data from the web in JSON format. I started this project because I needed some API to do data enrichment to get company data (headcount, investment rounds, etc.). Once I did the first version, I quickly realized that there can be many use cases for such a tool: data enrichment, web scraping, data validation, etc.
Because collapsing margins are annoying. Doing this removes that. All you have to do is just use margin-top or margin-bottom on them.
Using the right flour is something to use to your advantage if you are doing sourdoughs. One obvious thing from this article - not all flours actually contain gluten - has an implication for how you evaluate your starters. If you are looking for your starter to double in size, which is something world + dog insists on in online recipes, you need a flour that contains gluten.

Flours like rye or whole wheat don't have a lot of gluten relative to white flour. And there are a whole lot of online recipes recommending specifically those flours for feeding your starter. When you bake with such flours, you get a denser bread and when you create a starter with them, you'll struggle to get them to double in size for the same reason. They'll ferment and bake just fine. But there's just a whole lot less gluten to hold the starter together. Of course there's a wide variety of flours and milling techniques that determine how much gluten is actually in each flour. It's entirely possible to have whole wheat with lots of gluten. Rye has less of it but still some. It all depends.

I tend to use rye and whole wheat for flavoring. I baked a 75% spelt, 20% whole wheat and 5% rye flour bread last week. Very tasty. And I got a good over rise out of it (using a Dutch oven, which I highly recommend). My starter is the bastard offspring of whatever I had around to feed it for the past seven years. I started it off on regular white flour from the super market. What you'd call all purpose flour in the US, I guess. And since then I feed it with whatever I have around. When I don't use it, it lives in my fridge. For months on end. It ends up looking really sad. But then you feed it and it bounces right back. After observing that it was struggling to double in size with whole wheat or rye flour a few years ago, I now feed it with spelt flour. Which seems to work well. It's a German 1050 variety. Which means it's high in protein and gluten.

Strangely, I am in europe and here there is separate property and land tax and as far as i know it always was like that. Land is based on size and property based on purchasing price. Although some politicians want to change the land tax(so people pay more).
What is, then, the qualitative difference between a GOFAI automated reasoning system [1], like Coq, and an LLM? Why does Coq do reasoning but GPT-4 doesn't? Does it only count as reasoning if hand-coded by a human? Or did you have another definition of "reasoning" in mind?

Statistical or probabilistic reasoning is still reasoning, and indeed essentially mandatory to make sense of the real world, and is what humans do. Indeed the failure of painstakingly hand-trained symbolic reasoning engines to model reality (as opposed to just simple toy worlds) was the entire reason for the rise of neural networks.

The entire point of a neural network is to efficiently compress large amounts of statistical data into a model with as much predictive power as possible. Somewhere within GPT-4's many layers there has to exist something like Bayes networks and other ultra-efficient representations of the vast network of correlations present in the training corpus – otherwise there's no way it could do what it does.

“Found in drinking water” tells me nothing since current analytical techniques can detect compounds down to parts per trillion or better.

So you’re looking at 1 microgram in a liter of water.

Ok. But does it have any impact at levels like that? Is the impact more or less than the arsenic, mercury and other naturally occurring toxins in drinking water?
Land value tax is an idea by Henry George - the guy who coined the phrase "the rent is too damn high". His idea is among other things that a property tax discourages investment - one way to make money as an investor is to hold a plot of empty land in a desirable city centre location, watch it go up in value, and neither pay tax on any development on it nor bother with messy things such as tenants. Taxing the land value, according to George, removes that perverse incentive.

For a more detailed overview, I recommend Lars Doucet's review of George's Progress and Poverty, which won the Astral Codex Ten book review contest a year ago: https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/your-book-review-progress-a...

I really like the style, but you need to put an hour or so aside to read the whole thing. For me, it was definitely worth the time!

From my small personal perspective as someone who worked with ActivityPub a bit (side project), it's kind of an inefficient mess, no thanks to semantic web and JSON-LD (which, sure, it doesn't really need the full brunt of, iirc).

Mastodon's "sub"set is a bit better, though.

No. Humans cannot solve the halting problem. It is unsolvable. Cannot be solved manually or automatically.

It can for some programs. Just like humans can for some programs but not all.
Such a tax may result in the land having a negative value, meaning you cannot even give it away.

I also have been waiting for months now, if you still have one, I'll gladly take it :D
> And that's despite LLMs being wildly bad at, specifically, logic.

I'd say "wildly bad" is wildly exaggerated given that GPT-4 exists, even if you define "logic" as "logical puzzles encoded in natural language" and not "the thing that allows an LLM to reason highly efficiently about what token comes next".
Hell i'm not even sure you or I think. This is the problem with referring to subjective perception when we can't be sure we're even referring to the same thing. A "thought" might just be a linguistic quirk of two meats exchanging information.
Dropbox's CEO on return to office: Workers aren't 'resources to control'
Hi,
The website does not load - I checked on Firefox, Chrome and Edge.
Police need unions too, for the same reasons everyone else does. Police deserve pay increases that keep pace with the rising cost of living, limits on how many hours or days they can be forced to work without rest, time off for training, sick time, family leave, workplace safety etc.

The problem isn't that police have unions, it's that police are allowed to police themselves. If we take that ability away, police unions won't have any say in how officers are investigated or disciplined. The other major problem are the district/state attorneys and judges who refuse (or are unable) to charge police with crimes and hold them accountable.
Not from an aesthetic sense. I think it's really cool that we have a lot of languages. I'm personally willing to pay a high price in inconvenience to keep that coolness around, although not everyone would.

However I also don't think we will have to. Machine translation and language learning are substitute goods -- the better the former gets, the fewer people who will feel any desire to pursue the latter, because it just won't be that big of a deal to translate between X and Y anyway.

A universal second language for commerce is a fine middle ground, though.
