A bunch of factors. One is that you’d have to keep your identity private, but credibility is how you get access to resources. And resources are necessary to train anything.

Take TRC for example. They give people access to TPUs in exchange for being cited. But if they were cited as facilitating large scale piracy, they probably wouldn’t be happy. It could even lead to a lawsuit on the grounds of facilitating copyright infringement, which will likely be the charge against me if someone gets mad enough to sue me directly. (I never distributed anything, but that doesn’t matter if they can prove facilitation.) And TRC is an even juicier target for lawsuits since Google is a giant loot box of money for them.
Ask HN: How many of your users use IE11 to access your web app?
Recently I came across some data from the UK government on how many people use IE11 to access their services. The figure is around 350K. That is quite a sizeable number. The data, if I recall correctly, was from 2022.

So, I was wondering, how many of you still support IE11; and how many of your users, in absolute numbers, access your app using IE11, and what is the percentage of that user base compared to your total users?

And do you nudge your users to install latest evergreen browser, and also try to understand why they are not able to do so, and what are the challenges that they face?

Abusive child porn is a well defined content type that is objectively classifiable. For better or worse, so is copyrighted content (according to the rules of the DMCA claim process).

"Harmful software" is a much blurrier line. Is a GitHub URL being used as a dropper in an active malware campaign? That will probably get a repository removed. Is the source code for malware published on GitHub? That's not harming anyone in its current form, just like the source code of Popcorn Time isn't pirating movies.

Do you want to ban any content with a readme claiming it can be used maliciously? What if I want to publish a basic keylogger implementation for an open source cybersecurity class?

Net neutrality is largely about blocking, throttling, and paid prioritization. Treatment of Internet access and transit services under Title II of the Communications Act of 1934 is about much more than that, and potentially dangerously so, because Title II gives the FCC vast powers over telecommunications, and there is a history of a heavy handed regulatory approaches authorized by laws like that making things worse rather than better in many respects, especially cost and flexibility.

> I'm not sure why you're comparing fatality miles vs no-fatality-accident-that-cruise-didn't-cause miles

Because it's not that everyone ignores road fatalities, it's just that cruise hasn't driven (in terms of miles amd conditions) nowhere near to what might result in a fatality with human drivers.

Even then, in an incident they've not initiated, they've unnecessariliy made an existing bad situation far far worse.

> (i.e. we have no idea how safe Cruise would be if there were no human drivers on the road)

Self-driving cars have to exist in a world with human drivers, pedestrians, and the rest of reality. No one cares how well Cruise does in a sterile environment.

They should not only not cause incidents, they should also not make existing incidents far worse because of terrible decisions.
Nice! Are there any limitations to be aware of?
> The idea that these 128 lives are different from any other 128 lives in, say, Central Africa is precisely a result of propaganda. Arguably the beneficial kind.

That is the kind of relativism that doesn't hold water. To make it very simple: I value my life higher than yours or mostly anyone else's life. Or with different words I care for my life more than I care for yours. No offence!

You can expand that to my family vs some other family, then going on to "tribe" and to country/race, whatever. The further away you get the less I care and doing otherwise involves propaganda. That is also obvious since you need to focus your care.

It is en vogue to pretend otherwise and to care for some people you know the least which involves the inversion of care. You care for people you don't know more than you care for people close(r) to you. In a certain environment this is actually easier, but it involves this kind of propaganda, since people are acting against their own good.

> We know for a fact that the media can't cover most events. Historians don't know about most events. Choosing the events that will be admissible in the public conversation is one of the key tools of propaganda.

This is what I mean with "care more/less". You can't cover all events and therefore you're concentrating on matters closer to you, but with media this comes with a twist of course since they are the carrier of propaganda (intentional or not and true for any).
Me neither. "An elegant custom element base class" could relate to any programming language. I skim the page and see angle brackets - so it's browser-related.

Great - but for what? Is this client-side, server-side? Does it relate to a specific framework or approach?

I don't blame the project. They know their audience. It's the HN policy where extra context in the post title is forbidden that hurts stuff like this.
This presupposes some 'higher power' that is directing everything.

The sinking of a passenger liner with 128 lives lost is going to be news with or without higher direction, and we are always tuned to the unusual and particularly gruesome even if the actual harm is minimal in the grand scheme of things. See an airplane crash vs the daily deaths on our roads.
Show HN: Explorable in-browser data dashboards to end spreadsheet scroll hell
Hi HN,

We got tired of navigating and analyzing large survey datasets in spreadsheets. They are objectively terrible when it comes to a lot of real world data (i.e. long column titles, multi-select/tag results, etc.). So we built AddMaple. It offers a visual-first approach to exploratory data analysis as an alternative to the slower, implicitly biased formula-first approach. Starting with interactive chart summaries of all columns supercharges the entire analysis experience.

We were also tired of slow cloud based tools. A large number of datasets that people analyze can easily fit in your laptop’s memory, but simple “count” or “group” operations take seconds because of the round trip to the server.

AddMaple is a browser based tool that uses web workers and a highly optimized columnar in-memory datastore to make exploring data deliciously fast. We have sophisticated column type detection, merging and grouping algorithms to enable zero-setup explorable dashboards - with instant pivoting and filtering. Users can share interactive charts on Slack or embed them in Notion where they can be viewed as charts or tables, toggled between count and percentages etc.

You can import data from CSV, SPSS, JSON files or from Typeform, Survey Monkey or Google Drive. We don’t store the data, we simply read it into your browser's memory. A 150MB CSV is loaded (and analyzed) in seconds.

Try it out in this explorable report we produced in just a few minutes from the Stackoverflow 2023 survey data: https://addmaple.com/featured/stackoverflow-2023-report

Or create a free account and load your own dataset here: https://addmaple.com

We are a bootstrapped team gearing up for a “proper” launch, whatever that is, and would love/seriously appreciate your feedback.
How does one efficiently learn how to do such things, and what kinds of problems such approaches are fruitful for?

I find there to be a giant gap in learning about this stuff between material that boils down to "use magic words and system prompts to improve results from one of the big models" and "how do LLMs work from first principles".

I still haven't found a great resource that covers this middle ground, which seems to me to be where a lot of the power of these approaches is going to reside.
I've always found it funny when leading AI researchers put "name AT university DOT edu" as their obfuscation.
Those are the symptoms of a mitochondrial dysfunction. One cannot compensate it with only a diet, TNF-a inhibitors, or anti-histamines.

By quickly scrolling through the blog, "Energy Supplementation" section caught my attention. I already could see that the guy made a grave mistake there. Instead of meticulously compensating the activity of mitochondrial enzymes with the whole RDA spectrum of vitamins, including therapeutical quantities of B1, B3, and B7 coenzymes, he just sporadically included some stuff from here and there. Unfortunately, this is not enough to move the needle in terms of ATP yield. And without the sufficient levels of ATP, all other functions of the body go downhill. The speed of that decline is individual, sometimes it's mere months from onset to terminal. Most of the times, however, it's a multi-year and even multi-decade struggle.

The second grave mistake is concentrating too much on secondary symptoms (inflammation, shortness of breath, blood-clotting, autoimmune) without adequately fixing the root cause (energy depletion) that caused all of them.

The third grave mistake is presented in section "Things that hurt" -> "Supplements" -> "Thiamine is a histamine liberator and DAO inhibitor", which means that the guy didn't use it at all. And this is the gravest mistake of them all. It's true that the thiamine (B1) may increase histamine levels for some individuals, but mitochondria cannot function without it, like at all. The reason for that is thiamine-activated enzymes that sit at the very start of OXPHOS pathway. Without sufficient levels of thiamine, those enzymes cannot work. As the result, nearly all consequent parts of OXPHOS metabolic pathway become dysfunctional, rendering a low ATP yield at the output even lower. This is why one can see thiamine (B1) as an OXPHOS gatekeeper - not enough thiamine means that the input gates are mostly closed, leading to a diminished throughput of the whole chain of respiratory enzymes, unless a proper dose of thiamine is in place to "open" the gates. In a compromised mitochondrion, the right dose of thiamine is way higher than normal, reaching 100x-1000x of RDA.

(IMHO, this is what happens when a hacker incorrectly identifies a place to fix the bug and prefers to apply downstream workarounds instead of fixing the upstream root cause. In software, we almost always have a second chance, but in bioware - we may not have it at all.)

Returning to your question, the symptoms are very much like beriberi and pellagra. The cause of death is likely to be a multi-organ failure which can be manifested either as a heart attack, hypertensive crisis, liver dysfunction, renal failure, brain and nervous system damage, or a combination of those.

I've always wondered why file systems don't have a dedupe feature similar to defragment. Imagine an inode filled with all zeroes for example, tons of files have large segments that are all zeroes, what if they all get deduped and point to the same inode when the identical bytes are >= the inode size? There must be inode caching speedups for this I'd think. Saved disk space is also an advantage, especially if you work with large uncompressed files a lot (e.g. media editing/archiving).
Thank you for your concern

It depends. At like 80kph, you're pretty screwed from the impact alone regardless of the vehicle. At 15kph, both are pretty survivable from an impact perspective. But if your survive the impact, the next question is where do you go? For big, raised, boxy vehicles, the answer is more often "under the car" than for cars with ramping low fronts. Having the weight of the car on you is dangerous by itself, even at 1kph.

Then of course there's the impact of the design on driver visibility and therefore accident frequency, especially if the pedestrian is a child, short, in a wheelchair, etc.
Its not just the car centric hellscapes, but the assumption the only way a local authority exerts any control over building is zoning (for residential or commercial, never both), the grid, the assumption that high density means towers with parking lots in between, the lack of any social housing (and indeed the assumption low income workers are entirely unnecessary to a properly functioning city), the assumption that the best way to make your city really attractive is regressive taxation to attract the rich and scare away the poor etc etc...
I think it would be more responsible to speculate a little about how, exactly, weight loss would be helpful in this case. I imagine that it is, but we need to move away from it being treated as a "regardless of what form it takes" panacea.
> Compatibility and ubiquity wins. As nearly always.

I'm not sure that was Itanium's only problem. Intel's Itanium launch focused on a market that was not captured by the so-called "Wintel" monopoly: high performance servers. The software support needed in this market was relatively narrow. Nevertheless, it failed there too.

The biggest issue with Itanium is that the juice was never worth the squeeze. It was expensive. The cost to migrate your existing 64bit systems never made sense. So, you might ask, what about 32-bit shops that needed to make the leap to 64 bits? Well, by the time intel and its vendors started getting costs under control, the AMD Opteron hit the scene with commodity 64bit hardware that had the added benefit of full backwards compatibility. And that pretty much killed it.
This seems moot as those “obfuscations” seem silly to me.

Stainless leaks a tiny amount of chromium when brand new. The latter stages of manufacturing bind in or eliminate most of the nasty stuff.

So, basically, they managed to eventually make money by selling the domain to Elon Musk?

Which is quite a nice metaphor for the whole VC scene:

1. Make a team of dedicated and hard working engineers
2. Get VC on board with lot of money to pay for what is needed (not the engineers, they are founders, they don’t pay themselves)
3. Work hard on a MVP
4. Hire marketing guys to attract users.
5. Spend all VC money on marketing.
6. Try to not bankrupt in the process.
7. Make an exit by selling your domain name to a billionnaire.
8. Make a TED talk about how entrepreneurship is about hard work and product fit.
Cruise is here in Houston. It's only available for booking between 9pm and 6am UTC-6. When they are operating in autonomous mode, they make very very weird routing decisions. They'll stop while traffic is flowing, drive on the wrong side of the road and more. During the day, they are mostly driven by human safety drivers.

people have friends in their career and have opinions, it’s not about random companies searching your social media history it’s about social ostracizing from former friends and colleagues you have worked with that will try to follow your professional career around in an endless vendetta for not saying the party line once

the people in question don’t know who to support and are being told it’s to support one of two groups, not one of five groups

some people pick, others do not. both sets of people have actual opinions that may be different and more nuanced. every one of those people are being told they’re wrong by one of the two (or five) groups.

> do note that youtube is heavily censoring low carb stuff since "it's not mainstream approved" lol

By "not mainstream approved" you mean it's largely discredited and confined to quacks and charlatans online. Outside of its one legitimate use—very specific cases of epilepsy—no serious medical organisation endorses keto for the general population or cancer patients.

The third video you link is of a person who thinks that they cured their cancer with, among other things, juicing, breathwork, "positive mindset", and keto. This is nonsense.

> despite people healing conditions on it that no modern medicine could

If it worked, it would become "modern medicine". The reason it's not accepted in the mainstream is that it has failed every basic test of efficacy. The reason that you will find it promoted primarily on youtube and not in major medical journals is that the youtube audience is less well-equipped to spot it as snake-oil.

I disagree with f-droid on using the term "non-free" for network services, because it conflates the issue of software freedom with SaaS.

See https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/who-does-that-server-really-s...

> Many free software supporters assume that the problem of SaaSS will be solved by developing free software for servers. For the server operator's sake, the programs on the server had better be free; if they are proprietary, their developers/owners have power over the server. That's unfair to the server operator, and doesn't help the server's users at all. But if the programs on the server are free, that doesn't protect the server's users from the effects of SaaSS. These programs liberate the server operator, but not the server's users.
