>Metric hacking doesn't really exist in alternative systems of doing science. For example, it didn't exist in the Eastern Europe during communism.

Sure, metric hacking is not a problem when the crux of the matter is actually bending truth to follow the party line or face repercussions. Repercussions that could be years of imprisonment up to death penalty.

A cursory research on "scientific research under communism" yields [0], which seems to line up with the experience from people coming from former communist countries (including Mao's China and some former Eastern European countries).

I am also reminded of Luzin [1]. The previous article does not even mention pure mathematics as falling under repression, but even this domain (which was a strong point of Soviet Russia) could send researchers into concentration camps for dubious political motives.

So yes, metric hacking does not matter when the whole thing is bogus.

You seem to be describing cognitive dissonance.
> For starters I would like to have a chatbot who knows the scientific literature in a certain field, like climate science.

Mission impossible as most of the relevant literature is paywall'ed.

> Then I would like to be able to ask questions which are answered with pure scientific facts only, just based on scientific literature.

Mission impossible because LLMs cannot evaluate facts. Nor can they do source criticism.
> As far as I am aware, Switzerland had always cooperated with law enforcement requests. Even before FATCA, if your government thought you were cheating on your taxes, all they had to do was present a warrant.

The problem was - and this rightfully pissed off a lot of countries - that Switzerland makes a distinction between tax evasion (you "forget" to mention those 5'000 franks extra income) and tax fraud, where you actually cook the books.

Tax evasion is not considered a crime and if you're caught you get fined and pay back taxes. Tax fraud is a crime and may land you ion jail.

So, in case of simple tax evasion a third country may not get the information requested since this is not a crime in both countries, which is a requirement for this.

With the automatic information exchange with other countries Switzerland is no more a prime destination to hide your illicit gains.
Oh yes. In 2011 I got raided by the police because I clicked a link someone sent me over IRC [1].

You don't even need to be destructive to become a target for prosecution sometimes. Being stupid or incautious is enough.

I concur.

For me, raising a child is about raising a functioning future adult.

Bunging them £x000 when (hopefully) they're in their 60s seems a bit too late for me to have done my job properly.

Further, what does the parent expect from their parents when they die? Are they going to be annoyed if they don't get 'enough'?
But here I am in Indonesia right now just south of the equator, and the women are wearing pants. Not all, but most in the city do and nearly none of the locals wear shorts even to the beach.

The point is that your assertion that dresses are more functional than pants is just wrong analogy. Pants offer far more mobility and modesty.
Well, if you think about it, mass manufacturing, progress in industrial chemistry, plastics, etc, did a lot of impossible things super cheap.

We have disposable pieces of plastics worth 10 cents that if teleported back to 1600 in bulk (say, 1000 units) would have cost entire counties back then, including the people living on them: light, strong, elaborate and very precisely machined.

Look at this thing:

https://www.decathlon.be/fr/p/mp/moma-bikes/velo-de-ville-ho...

About $240, by modern standards quite bad, but for someone in 1600, the ability to go most places in comfort with a decent chunk of stuff with you in some baskets and bags.
Precisely this. Most modern CPUs would be better called SoCs, with CPU/GPU/XPU cores all on a single package. If you want any sort of stopping power in terms of the number of cores or the clocking speed of said cores, you need massive amounts of cooling, hence why GPUs are sold as bulky PCIe cards.
You get gas with at least the posted octane number. You're gonna get a battery with at least the posted capacity. I don't see why this wouldn't work the same way.

And then there's online reviews. Customers wouldn't want to swap at shops that swap in junk batteries.
Good options for zero build:

Both are surprisingly fast- parse 10,000+ <style> or class="..." in under a second.
Wait until you hear about this rock in outter space that has some very social and weird carbon life forms. You'll be amazed about how stupid they are.

Luckily we dodged that bullet.
This is not true. Plenty of people already changed their consumer behavior due to Climate Change info. For example Solar deployment is quite impressive around the word even if it's not always the best strategy financially (governmental incentives included).
I imagine they're working on it.

But why heatsinks and chip wafers? I know diamond is carbon, but does it have some specific properties except hardness that help with those?
It indeed doesn't sound too bad this way, as long as we can realistically assume this is running 100% on renewables, ie not at night for solar. What's a bit unclear as of now is how much energy and thus possibly co2 emissions went into constructing this thing (material, transportation, etc.) and how long it will take to offset those. One or two years fine, ten years well, we'd have to see what the actual running costs other than electricity is. Should we throw in storage for our solar generated power so we can run it 24/7, we'd have to consider that too. I don't know what the current environmental footprint for lithium batteries is, but probably not negligible at that scale? I mean, I want to believe, I really worry about this, but this just sounds like feel-good project a bit too much.
"Zero Trust (ZT), a security model that challenges the traditional perimeter-based security model, operates under a fundamental rule: “Never trust, always verify."

Weird: I kind of thought these ideas came from Lenin and Stalin. The kids these days.

"Both Zero Trust and the Principle of Least Privilege are vital components of a solid cybersecurity framework, emphasizing the importance of establishing reliable access controls based on user identity and context."

Yet, the difference is that Zero Trust is largely marketing mumbo jumbo, i.e. old ideas dressed with fancy terminology.
You may have still been susceptible because it seems that you can just change the key to a new one in that settings screen. I just tried, and setting a new key only asked me to confirm the password. An encrypted confirmation mail is apparently only sent when you enable the feature itself. So an attacker could potentially just replace your key with their own.

Of course they could've just fixed that instead of sunsetting encryption entirely, but note that Facebook didn't say this was the reason why they're killing the feature, that's just speculation from the news article. Facebook didn't give an official reason, so maybe it's really just because of low adoption.
He did change up the lyrics sometimes in performances.

fusion is also tied into another problem - there's large swathes of the business/political world that don't want to do anything useful about climate change, and so suggesting that fusion might soon appear and solve all our problems without having to do anything hard or soon hugely advances their cause.

Australia has a related problem, where anti-climate-change-action forces on the Right have pivoted to supporting nuclear fission as the solution - Australia has no nuclear fuel industry and no existing nuclear power reactors, and so pushing that has the effect of delaying any actual climate action for decades.
Good catch! - I think I’ll have to hand back my Irish passport in shame!
> Those experiments have basically nothing to do with fusion power and everything to do with validating computer simulations of nuclear reactions.

then news reports should say "nuclear fusion computer models improved by 5% today" and be on page 94, instead of lies about fusion power progress on page 1.
On Netflix there is a nice documentary about this: Nothing Lasts Forever
> He’s gone and it is perfectly natural that Apple would regress toward the mean of any well funded hip tech company.

I remember when Jobs died I thought "Apple - Jobs = Sony". I don't think I was too wrong.
You're talking about Central and Northern Europe (+ their colonies).

Christmas in Eastern Europe and most other places looked nothing like that. Heck, Seychelles and Hawaii decorate their local trees like they're fir trees in Scandinavia.
I wear a Seiko watch. Never, ever was it mistaken by anyone for a Rolex or any other luxury brand. Meanwhile, the whole discussion around moissanite, including the linked article, is centred around how it makes a better diamond than an actual diamond.
How is it still fast if it was compiled to WASM?
The difficulty with that is trust, if there’s any chance it will miss things by accident then I’d rather eat the slow runs.

Test runners that run new/changed tests first though are cool. Faster feedback on error but still comprehensive.
Because everything is written in nodejs.
I don't think people who insist on diamonds care about how they are sourced. After all the blood diamond thing didn't stop anyone. What people want is to be skillfully lied to.
Define value.

You might not value it, but I dare say you value things that I don't value.

Define artificial tradition.
Yes someone can invent it, but it requires people to actually adopt it.
All the trappings of Christmas were invented by someone. They aren't 'artificial' though
Your comment made me want to scratch this long-standing itch and write-up why you should disable source maps. Check this out:

Couldn't one
- pay the science mags for access
- ask the LLM for the conclusions of the papers, ask it to throw out vague conclusions and deliver only what seems to be a hard proven fact shown in the paper.
Adverts and misspellings. A double whamois.
>you seem to be suggesting

>AND that you feel you must use them.

I'm misunderstood here then. I'm not saying that a feel I must use them. I'm saying the KDE UI by default exposes too many controls and provides settings to control this (more or less).

While Gnome exposes less controls (and arguable better UI desicions). Resulting in cleaner UI by default.

See this comment by the other user who shares my views: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38230429
Strange, for a company, advertising to the Linux community, to offer only Laptops with Nvidia dGPUs, where you actually have to taint your kernel/userspace with proprietary software in order to use it.
I can see how pitch roll yaw would work, but I can't imagine how linear movements are made on the same joystick? Maybe up and down is push and pull but what about the other directions? Do you push the device itself?
And the number of 2s (and 3s) would grow hard, which not favor a finite median.
IME LLMs hallucinate much less when given a text that it can summarize or answer questions about vs. asking it to generate something
Ignoring users was something that was happening from the very beginning. It was just much less abrupt and more conversational/no obvious triggers that wouldn't already be present. You could even still send messages(but you'd be ignored)

At least here, it's clear that even if Bing wasn't actually receiving text and predicting a "no token" response then it was able to send an API request that cut off the chat.

May be implemented differently now though.
That seems pretty reasonable for debugging no? And you can just replace them by hand, on your prototype board, in case you have been debugging so hard you managed to break one of them.
Diamond has the highest thermal conductivity of any natural material. Five times more than silver.
No matter what language they choose, someone will complain and ask "why X, why not Y or Z?"
I think watches can be a bit different... At least expensive watches retain more of their value, or even go way up in the case of Rolex.

It's true that for some, a big appeal of a good watch is the "implementation" or the mechanics or electronics that go inside, or the craft on creating it. And others use watches more as jewellery.

But there's always somebody that use them to "show off": while some people will buy a "neat" Seiko, Tudor, or even Rolex, there's always one Cristiano Ronaldo that will buy the 2 million dollar gem covered version, or the tourbillon whatever.

BTW, today there is people commercializing fake Rolex (and others) of a quality so high that even experts have difficulty distinguishing them from the originals. Apparently they're sold under the excuse of protecting your assets: keep your very expensive Rolex on the bank, bring this replica to the party. And they're not cheap, I think I've seen them for around 2k or 3k euro.
My parents were architects and they used AutoCAD. A very early version, maybe 3? So our PC had a math coprocessor... on a 286!!! Yes, the 80287 was a thing.
You can reuse the diamond and get a new ring.
you don't really need growth at all but what you do need is definitely fresh blood from time to time. When the average age starts to tick up you're going to have a problem at some point. Very important and not much discussed issue in a lot of OSS projects I think. Remarkable amount of leaders and core maintainers that keep getting older and lack of people in their 20s and 30s being elevated into positions of responsibility or even joining.
Thank you very much for this link. This guy looks to do a great job of demystifying reverse engineering. Will be subscribing in the hope of learning something!
> It is not hard to follow or understand or even agree with Sapolsky’s arguments. But they run so very counter to our lived experience that it's extremely difficult to feel them, to grok them, to actually believe them.

He does kind of explain why it feels like this in Chapters One and Two, though.
> The cost of the Norwegian lockdown is calculated to be about 270 billion Norwegian crowns (corresponding to 25 billion €), or about 4600 € per citizen.

It think it’s very problematic to try to estimate the cost of saving lives like this.

Let’s say the government pays for a restaurant worker to stay at home. Yes, that’s a real cost of implementing the lockdown. But what’s actually happening in the real world?

A worker got to stay at home rather than work. For some people this could be a positive. Maybe some others would prefer to work, yeah, but not the majority I’d guess. Especially considering the stress of being forced to be highly exposed to a new virus, that you don’t know whether will kill you or not.

And, people did not get to eat at a restaurants. That could be considered a loss. Economic activity that could have happened, didn’t. But I think that’s a sacrifice most of us were glad to make. I was certainly just glad to have a period where we focused more on close family in our homes.

Paying for those workers to stay at home was certainly expensive in monetary terms. But let’s say you - perhaps an office worker - and a restaurant worker, sat down and looked at how it practically affected your two lives. Would you have said that it was truly comparable to a 9200 euro expense? Yeah, maybe there was 9200 euros worth of going out, travelling, etc that you didn’t get to do. But many of us spent an equivalent amount of money and time on other enjoyable things instead.

We also know a lot of productive work happened in this period that is not recorded by GDP figures. Like, many people that were forced to stay at home and couldn’t work, worked on home renovation projects. If you had hired a contractor to do it, it’d have counted as economic activity, which we’d consider positive. But if you do it yourself, essentially financed by the government paying you not to do your regular job, it’s somehow negative for the economy.. even though a similar unit of work was done.
I still use Facebook Groups because they are great for Classic Gaming discussions. Oddly, the fact that Facebook is now largely used by older people made it a nice place for Nostalgia-related interests.
> Weird way to interpret my reply but you do you.

Not so weird IMO; I interpreted it the exact same way. So how do you mean it should have been interpreted? GP pointed out that exclusion zones around nukes in effect become nature preserves, and that solar panels could be placed in agricultural zones -- two very different things. In response, you start ranting about "displace wildlife and thus rile up the nature conservationists" with, apparently, solar installations. (You didn't explicitly say so, but then you hadn't indicated any change of subject from your previous sentece, which was explicitly about solar.) Which nobody was talking about.

So yes, weird indeed, but you do you.

> US Americans who think all regulations are bad (shockingly common here)

Yeah, it's annoying and a perfect example of how intelligence, knowledge and smarts in some areas do not indicate anything about general intelligence, knowledge and smarts in life. Brilliant doctors and engineers can be completely incapable of using a screwdriver or unaware of how anything outside of their domains functions. And frustratingly, they often assume that because they're brilliant in their field, their brilliance applies elsewhere.. but it doesn't.

> Indians who think all criticism is a personal insult to them

I've seen this as a common trend on any India-related discussion. Does anyone have any ideas as to why?
Fair point, I'll have to look into who's doing what then.

I truly have no problems with snap as an idea, at least I'm not as passionate as many snap dislikers. I just want the apps I open to open or error out tbh

The whole [nothing happens] is the infuriating part haha. Is it slow to load or has it given up.

Anyway aye fair point. Kneejerk reactions often lead to dick moves.
The method used means any conclusion says more about the selection process of Who's Who and how it has evolved over time than any reasonably objective determination of who or what constitutes eliteness.
I wondered if it was a hardware fault, and the fpu is allowing enough electrons to flow where they need to be.

Although the infocom 'boot' step suggests a race condition somewhere? Or some register not being properly set by the os.
Yes, this uses a variant of that called faster-whisper.
This trend makes total sense given the current web panorama.

I have been disabling javascript for a lot of websites during the last year, the experience is not damage at all, it's the oposite, you get a snappier navigation, no ads tracking and if you have bandwidth issues you now can browse those sites without problem.

Is there a way to ensure Tumeric you buy is from Bangladesh and not India?

With variadics the types would still implement an interface, they just allow you to work with those types t compile time rather than type-erasing them into a dynamic trait object.
How is this different from the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie?
I think that gives Sony far too much credit.

One need only look at Apple’s attention to packaging design or audio quality to know they’re still a head and shoulders above any other consumer electronics company.

Sony stopped innovating in consumer products many years ago, as far as I can tell. Maybe the days of the Walkman were different but I was too young to know what it was like then.
I always wondered what lab grown diamonds for jewelry would cost, so I googled "Ritani".

Wow, you can get a 3 carat, VVS1/VVS2, ideal cut, colorless for $3,000. That's a huge stone and very high quality.

That would be a $15,000+ diamond if natural.
It has a very high heat conductivity.

From Wikipedia:

> Thermal conductivity of natural diamond was measured to be about 2200 W/(m·K), which is five times more than silver, the most thermally conductive metal.

The URL is not the title and should not be used as such. It’s just a convenient way of accessing the article later. There are several reasons why URLs can (and often do) differ from the titles, it would be a terrible policy to base the HN story titles on them.

You usually do not carry those along in your backpack with your laptop, do you?
I would say that overall they are much, much better than the auto generated ones from YouTube. If the speaker speaks incredibly clearly and slowly, without slang, etc, then the built in ones are good enough. But in a tougher situation, the biggest whisper model achieves near superhuman accuracy— way better.
