You are right. "A certain form of liberalism is institutionalized," and that's enough of a machine for millions of Americans, Europeans, and Brazilians to "rage against," as it were without too much self-delusion. I feel like there's a much wider world out there—especially given all historical context—which dwarfs today's liberal movement a thousandfold, but of course some people can't see the forest for this tree. Some people's Overton Windows are more like Overton peepholes. Can't say for sure I ain't such a person, myself.
I could see the argument that the endorsement fee was ill gotten and should be returned. Is that what they're after? Or are they seeking to reclaim all the lost money, in excess of what the endorsers were paid?

"Censored" and "Uncensored" is kind of a red herring these days. There are like 1000 finetunes on huggingface that will have unspeakable conversations with you. New ones come out literally every day.

Analogous viewpoint in the Eighteenth Century: "90% of the human race consists of agricultural laborers, mostly unfree (slaves or serfs). Steam-powered machinery will put almost all of those people out of work, turning the vast majority of humans into food-consuming sloths".

Somehow that didn't happen, though.
Funny, I always heard this anecdote in the context of adding hair to Mickey Mouse's arms. Apocryphal indeed, I guess: https://www.npr.org/2014/11/17/364760847/whats-with-all-of-t...

In terms of function though, the "hairy arm" is the complete opposite though: it's not to make sure reviewers are paying attention, it's to distract meddling reviewers from the changes you don't want them to veto.

I know a company that has built their entire technology stack on some Erlang VM based language.

There was really no reason to do so at all - it's an ordinary company building an ordinary application. But some CTO or dev lead years ago thought it important to use whatever the fancy tech of the day was to build a fairly ordinary business application.

But now they have trouble hiring people because there's a tiny pool of people who know that language. And it is years down the track and all their technology is built with whatever that language/framework is - too expensive to easily bail out, but probably necessary anyway.

In 2023 you've got to have really good reasons for not using C#, or Java, or Python, or TypeScript for building your web project. Maybe Golang - it's getting some good traction in the DevOps space.

If you make decisions about technologies and this latest thing appeals to you - maybe use it for your personal projects. The CEO has employed you to make responsible decisions not play toys.

People are ignoring (or pretending not to know?) that these are political slogans. They signal allegiance to a rather prickly segment of the political left.
And yet, people still want to vote for this wannabe-dictator. Truly unfortunate.
Squash and merge ftw. I know some developers are uniquely passionate about zen gardening their feature branch commits, but the reality is that GitHub prevents any reviewer from easily parsing your commit story.
One advantage I’ve seen talked about for the hydrogen ICE as a transitional engine is that it doesn’t require the same level of hydrogen purity as a fuel cell does.
When it's "not even wrong" it's easy to dismiss something. But if it takes some work to disprove, there can be some cool insights and knowledge (and new avenues of exploration).

schwab doesn't charge a fee to wire from a brokerage account. by the way, there's no minimum balance or fees required to open an account with them. you pick up the phone, get connected with an intelligent person who understands exactly how to help you, and wire the money. usually you don't even wait for an agent.

I'm gonna sound like a shill, but 99% of the problems people are writing about in this thread would be solved by opening an account at schwab. unless you routinely deposit/withdraw large amounts of cash, there's no reason to waste time with other banks.
Are we just going to pretend they’re not political slogans?

The statement was perfect until that last line.
H100 + quantisation + algorithmic improvements would be sufficient to explain the speed boost.

If you "have enough compute" available -- which OpenAI definitely does -- the best current technique is to use mixed precision with post-quantisation fine tuning to restore performance. That's most probably how all of the "turbo" models work. Take a model that was initially 16 or 32 bits per parameter during training, quantise it down to a mixture of 4, 8, and 16 bits, and then fix it up with an additional training pass that uses the original full-fat model's predictions as the loss function. With access to the raw parameters, it's possible to do this training such that all of the output weights are considered and adjusted during this phase instead of just the top word. Third parties fine-tuning against GPT4 chats can't do this, even with the collected samples, because they only have individual selected tokens/words instead of the full probability distribution.

The moment someone raises a ticket that says "hey, maybe we should put 'no nazis' in the FAQ", you, as the FAQ maintainer, have to make a choice. Whatever you choose is a political choice, even ignoring the ticket. Fencesitting is a political choice too. It's just unavoidable.

AFAICT there is no scientific evidence of people actually getting vitamin-D deficiency from sunscreen use.

Even with really powerful sunscreen, every second you're exposed some portion of those UV-B wavelengths are still getting through to catalyze the production of Vitamin D.

According to one study [0] on a sunny summer day in Spain you could have 25% of your skin exposed and only need 7 minutes for that day's vitamin-D needs. (Obviously longer in dimmer conditions and wintertime, but those aren't the times people are going to slather sunscreen everywhere either.)

AFAIK nowadays it is more common to write a recursive descent parser to build whatever structure you want to work with (if not use the parsing directly) than rely on Flex/Bison.

Personally i've written so many parsers over the years that the code for writing one "flows" naturally and i feel like Flex/Bison would introduce complexity and dependencies for no gain.

It's beyond dumb and currently all stick and no carrot. By that I mean - at least in CA - a huge state bureaucracy including visual inspections that essentially precludes any real modifications to vehicles - unless you see a referee in which case it is a crapshoot on approval. We would IMO be better served by larger tax incentives on electric, and reduce the CARB bureaucracy enormously - insist on a simple tailpipe test "as it blows". Ridiculous standards have effectively forced small, high compression, often turbo charged, engines on consumers which run extremely hot (observe the heat shielding on newer subarus intended to prevent the engine mounts from burning out). Such engines, while fuel efficient, will never last the 300k miles we saw previously, without extensive messing with - by that I mean engine pulling, gasket full gasket and ring replacement type operations. If you want longevity, the older style toyota, lower compression, engines - which run cool and are marginally less fuel efficient (available in most other places in the world) will last in the 1m mile range.
Absolutely absurd to think of as fundamentally "woke" a government under the sway of the Heritage and Hoover Foundations, or the Cato and American Enterprise Institutes.
I wish the prescription and treatment of exercise and time in nature were as common as pharmaceuticals.

A sedentary life is becoming the default, and once that pattern is established you don't realize how much better you'd feel if you were active.

This is why so many people become "fitness nuts." They've seen the transition in their own lives and they just can't help but desire everyone around them to feel it too.

If healthy is wealthy, poverty seems to be skyrocketing .
Ask HN: Can you ethically make an open-source repo from contract work?
Here's something that comes up a lot for me. I'll have a client paying me cash to write some code for them. I'll be writing and committing lots of business logic and stuff that's obviously proprietary and owned by the client. But then something is needed that really has nothing to do with their core business and would make a great open source project. The kind of project I might start on my own even without this client.

And if I were to just find this open source MIT licensed project out there I could definitely use it. So, can I also birth into existence a new open source project? The ethical dilemma is the client is paying for my time. Do they have to approve this open source project or at least be given a heads up before it's started? What's the harm in creating something that if it was already out there I could just use and say good news, open source package XYZ by John Smith was created last year and it's perfect for this project. Substitute John Smith for my own name and it was created not last year but last week. Is that unfair to the client?
Sounds like a generator then?

They also had a service called Yahoo! Music that showed currently popular music videos. I thought it was cool at the time. I remember watching it during my senior year of college, in 2005-2006. Shortly after I graduated, I heard about another video site called YouTube. I wonder what ever became of that one!
> there's literally never been a major technological advancement in human history that didn't ultimately result in more people being employed, not less.

In the past, new automation technologies often open up new possibilities in production capabilities in turn creating new jobs - specifically jobs that have not been automated yet.

AI though promises to be the universal automation, i.e. it can do any job. Thus even if new jobs show up, they will be taken over by AI too.

Then what?

> The shape of my career might change, but I doubt I'll be unable to find a job.

Question you should ask is why would anyone hire you when they can get AI to do the same job.
If only the Hackers Knew..
Fortunately, no one gets to "shape" my experience. It's my experience, not theirs. I'll stick to my indie titles like Stardew Valley, Octopath Traveler, etc.
Given that a lot of HN users don't read a 5 paragraph article before commenting on it, I wonder how many will listen to a 2+ hour podcast. I would like to hear from someone who has listened to the whole thing, but maybe there should be a post called "Ask HN: Is AGI being achieved incrementally?"

This is a strongly political position to hold. DIY aesthetics, too, deeply political. Not in the "electoral politics" sense, of course, but in terms of a country's distribution of power and determination of civic priorities.

If you update using the GUI software updater (Gnome Software), it pre-downloads the packages but (at least usually) the actual update action is "restart and update". That reboots the system and does the actual updating at that point.

Most what you're saying can be applied to many other technologies. What about internet? Should we limit access to Internet?
>> I hire based on ability/intelligence, not knowledge.

Well, yeah that's really your only choice if the experience you need is not easily available.

Don't tell me, you are the guy who puts in the not mainstream technology and needs to defend that with justifications such as "when we use (non mainstream technology X) we get super motivated job applicants because anyone with an interest in non mainstream technologies is inherently passionate and interested".

That's not a sound hiring strategy.

Why "wtf?" They don't have stray dogs everywhere. They don't exist here in Japan; any stray dogs are seized, and presumably euthanized. Why have nuisance animals roaming around that cause a lot of problems and attack people? Do you think it's somehow a good thing to have stray dogs? wtf?

The Bruneri-Canella Case
Under those conditions, I'd expect living in that city to be expensive, yes.

Which seems like a problem that would solve itself eventually. If people's quality of life gets too low, I'd expect a decent chunk of them to move, opening up housing for people who can't/won't move.

There's some downsides to that strategy, so the city may not want to go that route, but as someone in a low CoL area, I don't really have a say in the matter (nor should I, so long as people aren't asking me to subsidize high CoL areas).
depends how you do it?

The EU seems to really hate not having control over things, so they will just mandate having some hard-coded certs, that are present regardless of choice. It's like a pathological thing in Europe, and the recent legislation coming from there seems very inspired by the great firewall.

It's like they gave up on trying to actually innovate or grow a tech industry (composed of more than the odd successful euro tech corporation) after years of trying and now they are just banking on their market size to push more and more ridiculous legislation.

I can't wait for that to backfire, or
for corporations to not bother anymore (imo the GPDR is the only good thing that came out of this non stop spree of legislation, and that's almost half a decade old now).

At least with China, whatever they do or restrict usually only affects their own home grown tech industry. The funny thing is that if the US gov seriously pushed for something similar to the recent laws (chatcontrol, client side scanning, the weird copyright laws, the "fake news" thing, etc), Europeans would call it fascism or typical American thirdworldism (which is extremely ironic regardless of context).

Undergrad was when I learned about the subject. It was done with tools like Lex and Yacc, along with the Dragon book. These tools are fine but only work in C. Yacc/Bison generate LALR bottom up parsers, which can be difficult to debug and use. Also it's difficult to implement error recovery. If you want to do it in another language or want to have more control, hand rolling the lexer and parser is not too bad.
On the contrary, Discord, Telegram and other chatroom type services seem to be sucking in users like a black hole.

I used Waze and loved the idea before I became so cynical -- around 2013-ish -- about the "surveillance economy" that I started deleting apps from the likes of GOOG and FB. This included Waze post-GOOG.

> maybe life is just that special.

It appears from spectra that the chemical elements produced by stars are the same everywhere. If so, then the possibility of material life exists everywhere in the universe ... where conditions permit. It's down to the presence and concentrations of the various elements, the temperature and stability of some fluid medium that can bring the endless potential combinations into contact, and a lot of time. (Calculating the odds is an exercise left for the student.)

It’s very easy to teach a good developer a new language. We use Nim for embedded firmware development at my work, and have been expanding our team. It’s been simple: hire good C/C++ devs who are interested in learning something new but related, and teaching them. Takes about two weeks before they’re comfy, sometimes less (python experience seems to help a little due to some surface level syntactic similarities)
