This is fairly typical of the attitude towards a person once they are incarcerated. No prison employee is going to go out of their way to look something up, or make a phone call. There is no oversight on prison employees (outside of doing the minimum to make sure they don't beat the prisoners too frequently or openly). Laziness is prevalent inside the justice system. No-one is in a hurry to do anything, especially if it is outside their job description.

There is an international treaty (Vienna Convention) that requires governments to inform arrestees of their right to speak to their embassy. The problem is that treaty violations aren't really enforceable without an underlying local statute to implement them.

It was only recently that Illinois made it a statutory requirement to implement the treaty by adding "(b-5) This subsection is intended to implement and be interpreted consistently with the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, to which the United States is a party." to their arrest law:

There is also a lot of dependence on prison labor, recidivism is good for business. Technically, convicted felons are fair game for slavery and indentured servitude - it says it right there in the 13th amendment.
I understand this sentiment but it's extremely short sighted. Paying for news is about incentives. Much like Google having poor incentives to provide good unbiased search functionality based on the fact that their revenue comes from advertising, news work poorly aligns with advertising incentives also.

In https://tailcall.run/docs/intro/architecture/#hash-code it states that that the hash is "derived from the semantic meaning of the specification - that is, the underlying logic, structure, and purpose behind the API composition, rather than the literal text or syntax" but I just cannot express how suspicious I find such a claim
There's plenty of knowledge to be gained apart from that, there are top players that explain some of their thinking that have content on Youtube/Twitch. There are other examples along the lines of what you're saying -- traffic markings like bollards, signs, lines, license plates, etc. vary country-by-country; the position of the sun along with the date the google maps van took the image, telephone poles and other infrastructure. What's really interesting to me, though, is that there's some information that feels similar to when ML fits to metaknowledge about your training set -- e.g. there are some areas which can be ruled out entirely by the date the picture was created, there are certain areas where privacy laws alter what maps can provide or must blur, and there are areas where there was some issue with the google maps equipment that caused artifacts in the images (e.g. there are 'rifts' in the sky in some parts of SEA)
Not true. You need a distance matrix (for classical PCA it's a covariance matrix), which scales quadratically with the number of points you want to compare.
If you have 1 Mio. vectors, each creating a float entry in the matrix, you will end up with approx (10^6)^2 / 2 unique values, which is roughly 2000Gb of memory.

My mother has worked in local journalism for half a century - mostly radio, but some newspaper and the very occasional TV appearance. If they're making a lot of money, she sure isn't seeing it. Maybe whatever private equity company that owns the station this year is doing well, but they're not known for sharing with the other boys and girls so to speak. It's a shame because from what I can tell, she was a very good reporter but the role is reduced to a shadow of what it was when I was a kid. Obviously they're now talking about replacing her with AI, and she's about ready for a severance check I think.

Their coffee was stored and served far too hot compared to any other place. They also had over 700 claims from the coffee in 10 years.

> McDonald's required franchisees to hold coffee at 180–190 °F (82–88 °C)

> coffee they had tested all over the city was served at a temperature at least 20 °F (11 °C) lower than McDonald's coffee

> They also presented the jury with expert testimony that 190 °F (88 °C) coffee may produce third-degree burns (where skin grafting is necessary) in about three seconds and 180 °F (82 °C) coffee may produce such burns in about twelve to fifteen seconds. Lowering the temperature to 160 °F (71 °C) would increase the time for the coffee to produce such a burn to 20 seconds.

and the vast numbers you hear about in this settlement are a result of that. All the victim wanted was medical expenses covered.

MagicaVoxel is a great way to get started with 3D printing. Many years ago I visited a friend’s classroom (can’t remember if it was 1st or 2nd grade) & the students created models that I printed with an Ultimaker. Sculpting with voxels is much simpler than other CAD tools.

Almost none of what you just mentioned has anything to do with Docker, and you can easily have that much trouble just running a binary. (In fact, I've found that many projects have better documentation for their Docker image than for running it natively.) Yes, there are some Docker-specific things you sometimes have to debug (especially with networking), but I've had far more trouble getting software running natively on my machine due to mismatches in local configuration, installed library versions, directory conventions, etc vs what's expected. It's also far easier to blow away all the containers and volumes and start over with Docker; no need to hunt down that config file in an obscure place that's still messing with the deployment.
Uh oh. Looks like the Stack Overflow mods among us closed your question as off topic.
One challenge (among many) is simply that many areas limit the number of unrelated people that can live in a house. When I owned a house in a college town in the Midwest many moons ago that number was 3, for instance.

In the UK there's a very noticeable avalanche of anti-EV stories in certain newspapers.

Presumably that has some impact on uptake and adoption.

This campaign to curb the lies is being very generous by assuming no active malice, just clickbait tendencies:

https://www.greencarguide.co.uk/2023/09/stopburningstuff-lau...

> Whether the headline is ‘your electric car will catch fire’ or ‘multi-storey car parks will collapse because of EVs’, the stories are becoming more prevalent, more inaccurate and more ridiculous – and are primarily driven by the desire of publications for more clicks. Gaining more clicks is evidently being prioritised over checking the facts, and over the urgent overriding need to reduce air pollution and combat climate change.
But ultimately the language doesn't matter; the price is widsom is above Ruby.

It would also be interesting to train these models on the entire math literature. One would want to use this to verify the math literature, translating the proofs there to checkable forms. Eventually, we would get a model that knows every theorem and every correct proof in the math literature.

Most digital content converges onto optimized spam because that's what grabs the most attention on any given platform. Spam is basically an algorithmic exploit which is the main reason for why delegating decisions about what should be worthy of attention to commercial algorithms designed to optimize advertising revenue is not a great idea. The overall effect is detrimental because it trains people to stop caring about what is fact vs social fiction (e.g. conspiracy theories).

Lots of folks have written about the detrimental effects of revenue optimizing statistical algorithms and their use in social media. For anyone who wants to learn about this I recommend Jaron Lanier's book. He does a good job of explaining the reasons for not delegating one's choices to social media algorithms.

Edit: the above comment is AI approved. Pasting the response from claude.ai for posterity.

You raise some thoughtful points about the problems with algorithmic content optimization in social media and digital platforms. A few key takeaways from your perspective:

- Much online content is optimized to grab attention rather than provide depth or substance, which you liken to "spam." This is driven by algorithms designed to maximize engagement and ad revenue.

- Over-reliance on these algorithms can train people to care less about facts vs fiction/conspiracies. It promotes shallow thinking and engagement over meaningful discourse.

- Many experts, like Jaron Lanier, have warned about giving too much influence over to revenue-driven algorithms in determining what people see and engage with online.

- There are real risks and downsides to letting algorithms choose our information diets. It can promote conspiracy theories, erode critical thinking, and undermine a shared sense of truth/reality.

- You advise more conscious thought about how we interact with algorithmically-optimized content, and highlighting writers like Lanier who provide deeper analysis of these issues.

I think you summarize the challenges very well. It's an important discussion as more of our information and interactions move onto digitally-mediated platforms. There are no easy answers, but being aware of the risks and downsides is a good first step.
Idk... Maybe... But Reddit seems to hold info pretty poorly. A lot of the subs/posts and incredibly dumb.

The good information is there, often, but finding it is hit and miss. Until relatively recently, unofficially archived gives web forums were still available. Reddit search is a downgrade, imo.

In any case gpt can do reddit pretty well.

My impression is that attribution on limited datasets isn't terribly hard. If you can prompt the LLM to say a sentence that is approximately in the source material, then the nearest sentence vector in the source material can be looked up in a vector DB, which can attribute it in context.

I think this might be one of the few places where LLMs can provide straightforward value, since it can work as a search engine that can accept vague queries, create approximate answers, fetch the real answers, translate the source material into layman's terms with citations, and allow the newly informed user to refine or dig deeper with that context. The most dangerous part is translation, and the data I've seen show that transformers almost never hallucinate on tasks where no external knowledge is needed.
I think it drives people away. A micropayment system with a few cents per article would be way better in my opinion.
I think that the "ruliad" concept here is pretty interesting. I'm not too sure how to apply it to real life, though.

"Ruliad" represents the abstract and unique object that arises from the application of all possible computational processes or rules; the totality of all potential computational processes, an infinite, complex network of all possibilities that can ever exist. Wolfram explains that our perceptions of the universe, and our understanding of the laws of physics themselves, are influenced by our specific sampling or experience of the ruliad.

If you can at least key exchange and encrypt between you and the next node, you have some safeguards and your messages aren't in the clear - but that is currently prohibited by the regs.
Pardon my mathematical ignorance here, but I've always been curious as to whether negative numbers are the only alternate set that extends from the origin of zero, or whether they are merely the only set that is diametrically opposed to their positive counterparts, and there are in fact an infinite number of these lines extending from the origin at zero, radiating from it in all directions, and what we think of as the positive and negative numbers are simply one pair of rays extending from this origin arbitrarily chosen as our base units.
So not for a few years then. Maybe.
What Nix provides in reproducibility and ease of deployment, it certainly makes up for with poor documentation and opaque error messages.

I am always puzzled, there seems to be lots of people who seem to have decided that retribution is not the purpose of the justice system. It is the primary purpose of the justice system. Everything else (disuasion, redemption, reintegration, etc) comes as an secondary benefit/purpose.

Now we can debate whether locking someone in a tiny concrete cell for 60 years is an appropriate form of retribution, or even whether it is more humane than a quick death. And certainly any violence in jail is unacceptable. The US system seems a bit absurd to me. But the european systems of extreme laxism seem equally absurd and ineffective.

That's why I highlighted that quote. I see it as a suggestion that he can take someone with negative presence currently and with no drive for it into social media fame by merely applying this formula, and that part of this formula would be repeating the same step for new recruits.

> Charter houses could solve this problem neatly. A charter house or two could easily be set up with positions offered to people who are filling these roles, providing them with a minimum of support — at the very least, free rent and free high-speed internet. These people are professionals, so this may not be enough for them — but there’s no reason they can’t get support from the charter house and make additional money in other ways. They can supplement that support by consulting, getting a real job, being a bounty hunter, etc.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but I'm not sold on why this charter house arrangement is better (for either side involved) than just... paying people a salary.

Certainly it's easier to do regular payroll than to buy a huge house and be its landlord (really leaning into the "lord" part) and manage its residents' food + housing + transportation + healthcare needs. Most of that can be purchased with plain old money, and employers can offer insurance to employees without having to be their landlord too.

And then on the residents' side... it's bad enough now that I'll have to get a new health insurance policy if I quit my job, but if I had to find a new roof over my head, too? The power dynamic here doesn't sound great.

Like, in the context of "we want to fund a handful of random open-source contributors": if you have the funds to do this charter house thing, why not just open an LLC and use it to directly pay the people you're trying to support? Why does a literal house need to be involved?
We're discouraged by moderation here from arguing about why things are flagged. If you think something is flagged erroneously, the thing to do is to mail hn@ycombinator.com and tell them; they'll look at who's flagging and what the story is, and sometimes remove the flag weights.

There's a way to write the same comment without begging for this kind of meta-argument: just write a paragraph that doesn't talk about ranking and flagging but says what you found unexpectedly interesting or thoughtful about the article.
