> But you're also inserting politics in a technical discussion.

The discussion is about everything about the language not just the technical aspects so no I am not.

> The real issue is not that someone is putting politics in a technical place, it's that it contradicts yours.

No I wouldn't care whatever political agendas the author hadn't he put it straight on the website calling me a nazi.

> If I say I'm interested in using Gleam and you tell me there's only two genders, I do not see how that makes you any better.

Why would you assume I would say anything about genders if you asked me about gleam?

I would say it's run by political extremists that use their programming language to push political agendas and that due to that, they are probably untrustworthy. I would say I would refuse to use it because of that but encourage you to make up your own mind.

Presenting Manifold Love – Our new dating site
I disagree in that while I myself don’t like all these technogizmodoodats, I can certainly see how many more people can and do want these features. They do make life a lot easier.

Heck, a lot of them I would love too, but not at the cost of over complicating my car.

Also remember this is HN. What people often want here is not what the average person wants, whether it be cars, phones, laptops, or many other items.
Just go to read: https://www.bitecode.dev/p/relieving-your-python-packaging-p...

TL; DR

The reason why we need virtual this and that in python is that some work in one and some work in the others. This is particularly problematic in macOS where sometimes the system fall back to the default (somewhat default) python compiler. I even have script to check version and lots of environment for running different program.

It is a mess.

After this magic, is there a new packaging environment, procedure, ... for the rest of us?
Where does ‘organized crime’ intersect with Japan society at large if theft is low in Japan? Prostitution and gambling? I’d be surprised if you said drugs, because of the slippery slopes in drug addiction.
This feels unfair to say.

People with moral values don’t and shouldn’t avoid this kind of work to make sure that they care about accuracy, edge cases, that they continuously refine how they define utility and try to view it from a place of empathy.

Doctors and first responders make these calls often when they perform mass casualty triage, or when to declare someone’s death to enable collection of life saving organs.
I didn't realize we were limiting ourselves to Western philosophy. Also, many mathematicians and astronomers have been philosophers--more so in elder days.
I'm not sure this is the case. My perception is that the majority of the things that get funded are legitimate tech companies working on genuinely interesting of products. For example, take the 2023 list:

https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20230208005685/en/Thi...

All of these are real tech companies. What's less real about the hustle is the fact I picked a random entry off the list and checked his instagram, and sure enough there's a photo of him taking flying lessons as a teenager. Check the company stage and sure enough he's already raised just under $7M after being backed by Y Combinator 2 years prior. Cool guy, smart guy, clearly worked hard and built something valuable. I don't hold it against him in the slightest. I don't hold it against YC or the program managers for the TF either - they clearly picked the guy most likely to build a billion dollar company.

But did the Fellowship make him a winner? Absolutely not.
Those of you defending youtube on this, have you actually tried watching anything on the site without ad blockers? It's not just that they serve you occasional, only moderately annoying ads as a subsidy for not paying, they do it in such an intrusively pervasive manner that it seems intentionally designed to make it nearly unusable. The sheer quantity of garbage interrupting your music or anything else you care to watch goes way beyond reasonable and right into the land of "fuck you until you pay".

It's downright shitty from a highly profitable company whose content volume is entirely created by other users themselves who in any case regularly get demonetized from the ads in their own content for all sorts of arbitrary X and Y bullshit reasons, to the point that those running most of my favorite channels don't even make anything from the very same ads that youtube crams down everyone elses throats.
Also "redesigned the ui moving all the menu entries" trumps "we are now much faster and save a lot of aws money"

PEBCAK, I went to omegle.com and was able to infer exactly what the author meant. It took me approx. 2 minutes to do so. Using ChatGPT to read short things like this is akin to only reading the headline of an article -- you tell me if the latter makes much sense usually.
My YouTube with premium subscription works just fine across all platforms with no ads.

They give me service, I give them money, sounds fair.

'peek' and 'poke' were the commands for messing about with low level stuff if I remember correctly.

This is HN, it is literally run by VCs.
I feel like legislation has a bloat problem. As people get elected, they all feel the need to "do" something. And all they can do is propose bills.

Over time, doesn't that mean we just end up with more and more legislation about everything?

How do we reign in legislation? How do we say, hey you were elected, but it's possible there isn't any new legislation needed, or barely any?
Is there some information about the filter criteria used by the Thiel Fellowship to select the recipients, beyond the obvious, age.
And who would buy this premium subscription? Most popular YouTubers want to make money from ads displayed on their videos, it's often one of their primary revenue streams.
The point about speed would be true under pretty much any incentive model except an hourly rate for the buy side.

My point is when you are buying, your agent wants you to pay more. This is not what you want generally. It is fundamentally flawed.

I agree, on the sell side it creates an incentive for an agent to not push for marginal price improvements. The incentives are misaligned on both sides of the transaction.

On net you get round-tripped on misaligned incentives with the percentage model.
I don't have any access to their financials, so this is speculative, but while they do 'give away' GPT-3.5-turbo in the free ChatGPT, the rest of the business is likely extremely profitable. If you want to estimate cost of serving those free requests, consider how much it costs to do that via API. A 10 message conversation, where ChatGPT outputs 200 tokens each time, is $0.002, or two-tenths of a cent. I believe their API usage to still be positive margin for them. (Of course, now consider how much markup there is in ChatGPT pro!!)

There is a difference between pricing aggressively and pricing at a loss. Their pricing for gpt-3.5-turbo now matches leading public providers for Llama-70B ($1/million tokens). Rumors are that 3.5-turbo is actually a 20B model, but even let's assume that it is larger than 70B: OpenAI can still price more aggressively than Llama-70B providers because they have better throughput and utilization of the same hardware.
This looks great! But the application for is broken for me. Does this mean closed?

Look for Code SMS and you have a link to the european reglementation. I assume one of the reason is that in fact in case of phishing wire transfert are heavily monitored and reversible.

Congratulations! You have invented networking.
Who made this website? I feel like I am in a vegas casino and having trouble focusing.

It was unclear in the quick pitch but I am wondering if they essentially throwing RAG/search on top of a GPT model? I am guessing so because I cannot imagine you could train the model on such a limited source and get meaningful information. If thats the case perhaps this will be interesting but I think there are other interesting angles to this approach than focusing on a single library/codebase.
So this article claims the conversation was covertly recorded, while the Wikipedia-article claims the opposite : the clearly visible microphone was used for an official recording and the recorder(!) kept it running afterwards.
Is an LR better than a parser/combinator.
Seems like there are pluses to rolling your own parser/combinator over the time to integrate with a yacc or other library.
Well good, because hopefully it will shed enough load that YouTube considers it a success doesn't go any further than this. uBlock Origin still works, that's good enough for me.

Also, it did feel great as a teen from a very backwards rural area, to be on the very bleeding edge of internet culture. Knowing the memes before anyone else was secretly satisfying.

>> Such a requirement is fundamentally incompatible with end-to-end encrypted messaging because platforms that offer such service cannot access communications content.

The challenge is that based on the advice of experts, the commission made recommendations which violate or are in conflict with end-to-end encryption.

The public deserves to know the lineage of such decision-making and (rightfully) stimulate or recommend improvements to the process.
Calling Israels treatment of non-citizens "Apartheid" is trivialization of what South Africa did to its own citizens. If you want to use slurs on Israel, at least use the right ones.

It's not an unwieldy application. It's an unwieldy domain. 3d is hard. Drawing apps are hard. Video editing is relatively hard. Throw those together, and you get fundamentally __hard__.

The excavator is a good analogy. The best-designed most graceful excavator will still be _hard_ (at least for more complex tasks).

The people cycling in London are those who are not terrified by the SUV drivers, minivans, mopeds, HGVs… are you surprised that they skew less risk averse?

And why even bring this up? Does it follow that more risk taking behaviour (a claim which you did not substantiate) means that the infrastructure is safe enough and that this is not a real problem? Of course not.
>At the end of the day there is a lot of meat behind a real unicorn company. It is possible to do more for humanity than a billion dollar company - names like Gauss and Euler sprint to mind - but such names are rare.

Are they? I notice you only picked mathematicians. What's the value to society of a Mozart, a Picasso, a Dostoevsky, a Michelangelo ... ?
In it's current form, no chance. But if we continue on this trajectory (if that's possible of course), then pretty soon. I personally think there will be a barrier popping up soon for further advancement. However, today I am picking olives (not a joke) for my new career if it should happen (a joke; I would just retire).

My impression was that pipelined processors pipeline across CALL instructions. They even speculate across indirect calls. How you describe this is as if there was a significant penalty to reading EIP or calling a function on a pipelined processor, but I don't think that's true.
Ask yourself if you really need all those positions. How much dev-ops and security can you possibly need? That can be shared responsibility until you're much larger. Same with sales - you, as the founder, should be doing most of the sales early on. Its expensive to hire and to fire as well.

Normally a manufacturing process is doing well if 90% of the chips on a wafer are usable. Carbon nanotube based circuits manufacture are doing well if 90% of transistors were working. That needs to be solved before they're practical.

I’ve always liked Robert Heinlein’s proposal: a two-house legislature, where the lower house only writes new laws and the upper house only repeals existing laws.

> I note one proposal to make this Congress a two-house body. Excellent — the more impediments to legislation the better. But, instead of following tradition, I suggest one house of legislators, another whose single duty is to repeal laws. Let the legislators pass laws only with a two-thirds majority... while the repealers are able to cancel any law through a mere one-third minority. Preposterous? Think about it. If a bill is so poor that it cannot command two-thirds of your consents, is it not likely that it would make a poor law? And if a law is disliked by as many as one-third is it not likely that you would be better off without it?
We all know this is not true, not even close. Read through the comments here, there's a clear overwhelming majority opinion blaming the family rather than the company. Even beyond this post, I've never seen this called for on this site.

You are in a clear majority position but still pretend to be persecuted and victimized by an imagined boogeyman.
No. The headline is correct. These people are in favor of CSAM-as-an-issue. These unfathomably stupid measures have never been about minimizing harm to children. They have always been about power and money.

I volunteer in my local public school in the US. The sad fact is that stable family structure, by any definition, is collapsing and that kids are suffering. The percentage of kids in grade school who have an absent, incarcerated, addicted, mentally unhealthy, or generally dysfunctional parent is off the charts.

Parents who are unable to give their kids the tools they need to avoid getting shunted into special education on account of their behavior are in no position to supervise their online activity.

I make a habit of looking up kids parents on FB - it generally tracks that the worse the kids behavior and educational outlook, the greater the parent’s (singular in most cases) social media presence. I’m no longer surprised when I find a mother’s Onlyfans link, FFS.

Where I live a full 1/3 of 1st graders are in a special education track. All the research points to the impact of the home and family on these outcomes.

Tl;dr many parents are incapable of the rational parenting you suggest.
Ah, yes, you're 100% right.

What is it? Hard for anyone to tell without describing it.
Just to be clear, the first method only works on paid plans.
This assumes that the more money a company makes, the more beneficial it is to society. Seems dubious to me. For example, there's a case to be made that the large social media companies are doing irreparable harm to our societies. In which case, even the most unproductive citizen does way more for humanity than those "unicorns" do.
If there is no incentive to operate the network, who will sustain the infrastructure?

This is what crypto solves. It doesn't have to be a get rich scheme, just issue tokens to those that run the network, and have users consume tokens when they send messages.
As a guy whose startup is listed on NASDAQ I’m not sure I agree. Is cool that there’s a sustainable team dedicated to keeping my dream alive, and when things go well (eg airlines and supply chain running smoothly) it’s nice to take some credit. But in tens of impact it’s the open source users etc that I think of first, they aren’t really correlated to the billion dollars part.

Look, turn the question around: how many of Thiel's "graduates" turned out to be university chancellors, notable academics or leaders in government or civil society?
I don't agree with this at all.

First, I don't think that society is best when optimizing for adding as many dollars of value to society as possible. This is easy to measure, but there are a great many other incredibly valuable things that don't involve large visible changes in the economy.

Second, I don't think that unicorn startups are necessarily providing economic value to society. A company can become worth an absolute mountain of money while making society materially worse.
