> You can also do diet stuff.

I don't know your health condition, but this is not "diet stuff". It's pretty specific. Look "ketogenic diet for epilepsy". If you break it, you have symptoms very quickly. It IS a medicine.

The grams of protein/fat/carbs were pretty extreme, it's not just "low carb" or "just keto" or "diet" or "eat healthy".

The difference is that the diet works on some occasions where nothing works, or on some occasions it works very good.

Things like DT2 (virtahealth.com), maybe soon for kidney disease (ex from today Feasibility and impact of ketogenic dietary interventions in polycystic kidney disease: KETO-ADPKD—a randomized controlled trial), many mental disorders (metabolicmind.org, virtahealth will try for depression too), etc.
There have been plenty.

Two examples of many.

I'm not aware of any fleet-wide issues that accidentally bricked Teslas, but as one-offs they do happen; and unlike this Rivian update, a botched Tesla OTA generally leaves the car undriveable and needing to be towed. These Rivians will at least still drive, as long as you don't need fancy extraneous luxury features like a...speedometer.
I think Amazon's "most favoured nation" clauses[1] qualify. Or deals like those between Amazon and Apple[2] that excluded third party sellers of Apple products from competing with Apple themselves.

Edit: Another example was the collusion between Canada's bread makers[3].

I think the impact of AI is not between good jobs va bad jobs but between good workers and bad workers. For a given field, AI is making good workers more efficient and eliminating those who are bad at their jobs (e.g. the underperforming accountant who is able to make a living doing the more mundane tasks whose job is threatened by spreadsheets and automation)
For personal projects, where I'm in control of column size, this works nicely. Not so much for "work" projects.

> Personally, I just find such “long” lines too difficult to navigate.

This is where line wrapping helps me. It wraps the lines to my preferred column size preventing the horizontal scroll.
Also the DMCA doesn't require Google to takedown sites based on obviously fraudulent DMCA notices.

It's just that Google would lose its liability shield if the claim turned out to be real.
Yeah, and what is funny, is that it totally misses content on smaller artists while incorrectly IP on older, open-domain, classical music performed by smaller artists (think high-school bands performing Beethoven).
Just fyi, if 1 of 8 of the GPU's fail, you will be replacing the entire assembly; they are not modular.
> In the meantime, police hadn't been writing tickets, since the treatment options didn't actually exist yet.

I mean it doesn't really matter, because even if they have treatment options less than 1% of the ones they write tickets to actually do anything about it.

Here's how it goes. The drug user gets a ticket and has to either pay a fine or go to rehab. I think less than 100 people, out of thousands of tickets, decided to actually even call the number to get information on the rehab program. It doesn't matter thaht they don't exist because no one wants them
Ask HN: Google Chat is so useful; when is Google going to kill it?
My department likes to use Google Chat due to its "task" and "reply in thread" features. But given Google's history of obsoleting prior successful products, I wonder if we can fully rely on Google Chat in our department.
Not only that, but it's a relatively recent trend. Multi-generational living was the norm even in America until the mid 20th century. When are people going to realize that post WWII America was an aberration?
The thing is the "blunt vertical front end" thing has even taken over in the small car segment. My new 2023 Honda Civic, while not suffering in terms of forward visibility, has gone for the "squared off" look vs. the previous (2012) one. Here they are side by side...

Section 230 might cover right of publicity claims for an innocent host or user, but not for the user submitting the content.

Revenge porn laws are generally criminal, and as such unaffected by Section 230.
Really interesting to see Dougald Lamont trending here on Hacker News: he was most recently the leader of Manitoba's Liberal party.

He lost his seat a few weeks ago in a provncial election where the party was reduced from three seats to one.
I understand that you agree with my point, but you disliked my wording? :-)
SFPD is actually more useful and chill than most major city police departments.

APD in Austin doesn't actually do much. Property crimes are not responded to at all, but they pretend to occasionally about 48 hours later. If you want personal safety, your only option is to conceal carry and defend yourself because the police have a long call backlog, morale is terrible, and are critically underfunded and understaffed by over 150 officers.
So what? The assumption is that the data is encrypted at rest. If your threat model is "physical seizure by a nation state" then obviously you shouldn't be storing your encrypted data at a SaaS provider in a location out of your control anyway, but I don't see why it would be a reasonable assumption by default that Tuta willingly uses weak (or no) encryption.
Yes, why not! But I guess that's too complex, we'd need a simple object access protocol!
Very cool! I bet another few KB of CSS could make it indistinguishable from a full "app" implementation.
I feel like even doing Wikipedia level reading on the topic should’ve been enough to stumble upon it though.
This is called friction.

It is part of the Supply & Demand model. Governments and other factors add friction which impact the elasticity of supply and demand curve.

Modern Capitalist societies are not pure, governments can drive friction through regulations, fees, taxes, codes, and a million other factors.
Source Code Data Augmentation for Deep Learning: A Survey
A nice survey on Source Code Data Augmentation for Deep Learning. It contains 89 DA papers starting from 2019. It categorizes the existing DA4Code methods and introduces their applications in the various downstream tasks of source code. It also provides a section discussing the challenges and opportunities in the DA4Code domain. It may inspire the community to develop more advanced DA methods for code and find ways to utilize existing techniques.

It was so close to a good example, too. Increasing the payout to $1.1M would make the example make so much more sense. It's positive EV for everyone, but only Mr. Behemoth can control his variance. (This is ignoring finance.)
Real time transcription is not necessarily short snippets. In my experience, initial prompt is useless beyond the first 30 seconds if the words in the initial prompt aren’t used every 30 seconds, including the first 30.

It may be easy to rattle off a list of words, but it doesn’t work nearly as well as it should, so what’s the point? I also never said fine tuning would be easier than prompting. I said it would be better. It would just need to be easier than fine tuning currently is, not easier than prompting.

Fine tuning that I’m talking about would not be limited to only a few new words. You would only need one model, like we have today. It would just be your model that knows all the specific words and spellings you prefer. By analogy to other machine learning models, I would expect a lightweight LoRA approach would also work.

I just haven’t seen anyone working on these solutions that would actually be scalable, unlike the initial prompt.

Initial prompt works in extremely specific scenarios, but it has been so unreliable for long transcripts in my experience that I certainly don’t bother with it anymore. Someone mentioned Alexa-style home assistants, which would have short enough audio snippets that initial prompt would actually be useful.
You experience ketosis by lowering carb intake. You may get shot in the mouth, stop eating, and get into ketosis but it doesn't mean ketosis results in gunshots to the mouth.

> Where is the line drawn between "ketosis treats cancer" and "ketosis is not having a noticable effect on late stage cancer"?

Different types of cancers, different stages of the cancer, different types of ketosis, different people.
I think I'd use the argument that "its pretty boring", meaning, it's very solid. However, the C# language is very expressive and get's better every year, so it's a joy to use. It's a great choice for cloud-native server systems. (I feel like this year Blazor is a strong contender against Next.js, so web UI can work well with the backend).
Over the years, I've become convinced that the real point of homework is to learn how to finish tasks assigned to you by somebody else even if the tasks themselves seem to you to be pointless and unnecessary.

Cool! Might be too little too late for me, but hopefully this can help improve prognoses for other people soon.
Honestly I think homework is _less_ important once kids get past 4th or 5th grade. If they're reading and can do basic arithmetic there's no point in really doing daily drills on vocabulary and math exercises.

That's not to say there's no point to homework at all for a ninth grader, but 90 minutes or two hours of busy work _every night_ is silly.
Move fast and break things that move fast…

I don’t really like or trust most (if not all) of the established automakers, but there is something to be said for having several decades (over a century in some cases) of experience building potential killing machines vs. a company that’s not even 15 years old. The established players have put out cars which suffered freak malfunctions, but Rivian (and Tesla) seem to be struggling more with QA.

Non-rhetorical question: do companies have safeguards for critical components like braking systems, or are they also prone to catastrophic failure if a software engineer pushes a bad commit?
Not sure about "corrupting America's youth," but TikTok has been proven to selectively show content to different regions to promote only certain kinds of thought: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30917474

This was enough for me to resolve to never use it. And you're right that other social media isn't much better, though I don't think that was being called into question in the first place.
I've been keeping an eye on this one. This holds the most promise of replacing vscode for me. Right now, Kate is more mature and stable at the moment. But I think once it gets further along it'll definitely kick the pants off of the other options.

I've tried Lite XL and CudeText and they are both hard to set up and fall far short of Kate and Lapce in terms of UI.
Battle of the AI Chat Bots

I wonder if the way Microsoft's XBox is designed may be something to look towards in terms of hardware reliability/fallback. Specifically they utilize a Hypervisor which rarely needs updates, running different operating environments which need frequent updates.

- Better isolation of different parts of the system (e.g. infotainment unit, instrument cluster, et al).

- Better isolation for updates (e.g. run a "beta" update, and a "stable" update side-by-side).

- Automatic error detection and rollback (e.g. if a VM keeps restarting after an update).

- Ease of offering features like rollbacks to end-users.

- Rare hypervisor updates can be held to a much higher standard relative to other VM updates.

The only downside of hypervisor-based systems is slightly higher hardware costs. But even that is largely mitigated by modern architectures that natively support virtualization.

PS - You can also look to any containerization. I specifically brought up the XBox because it is a hardware product, just like a vehicle.

Maybe I missed it but does anyone know what it will take to run this model? Seems something fun to try out but not sure if 24GB of VRAM is suffice.
Right, but your reference for the point is a weak model. Your view would likely change a bit if you used GPT-4. It is substantially more powerful and skilled.
I've thought of homework as having two disparate values:

1. Practice (again) what you've recently covered in class. More reps, greater ease and speed and fewer errors. I suppose the article's point about some students needing more support and feedback means this isn't really a good position, unless we (re-)introduce something like tracking, or we abandon the coarse divisions of grade levels.

2. Cram in more learning - I'm thinking back to college to the profs who started each day asking for questions about the previous nights' readings, and then launched directly into new material assuming you had full understanding of the prior stuff.
That's funny because for me it was the other way around.

network/interfaces feels so archaic. Then you add bonding, multiple interfaces, custom metrics, and IPv6 and you need to pray before reloading.

Anyway, to each its own I guess.
it's so scary when i see people on the streets driving vehicles where they can barely see over the hood. like i can only see the top of their head when i'm facing them head on. this means that they cannot see me at all.

how on earth is anyone comfortable driving around not being able to see where they're going?
Neal Stephenson's Fall [1] is by far not his best book, however, the first part has a chilling depiction of societal divide into Ameristan and, for lack of a better word, the blue states that feels entirely plausible.

Prohibition of drugs has empirically been shown to reduce negative effects of drug use. For example, nationwide prohibition in the United states severely curtailed both domestic abuse and liver cirrhosis rates.
Why can't car companies just focus on making their endless array of ungainly obese inefficient cookie cutter whales on wheels (crossovers, SUVs, trucks) instead of actual cars anymore for some reason and leave the tech to tech companies that know how to write software?
You are probably correct. But there is a reason I put Backblaze client on my mom's laptop, rather than a scheduled powershell task to run restic to a cloud storage. And a scheduled task to run the prune weekly.
I remember when AWS was going to kill sysadmins. Instead it changed what the career meant really. Systems Administration work seems like it’s in a constant state of change anyways. Honestly that whole transformation from datacenter operator to what it is now (all the things!) is such an interesting parallel to what is happening now with general software engineering.
So as a reader the only way to see any content is to purchase a book?

i love self-published books and back a few authors on patreon that i've found on royalroad, but there's not a chance i'd be buying books from unkown self-published authors without even a few sample chapters. especially not when the pitch is that it's something an author has created by churning out as much wordcount as possible during a writing challenge.
If ICE tech was the hot new thing in cars, things like spark plugs would have a chip so that it would fire n times then break, but don't worry, there's a subscription for new ones and they will be automatically ordered when the car says so. If the credit card on file expires, your spark plugs won't work anymore, even if you just replaced them.
Coverage is even thinner than I would have guessed. California has 6 Rivian service centers, but they're strongly clustered in the Bay area and LA/OC/SAN. Even in California if you live in Fresno/Bakersfield/Santa Barbara etc you're looking at several hours round trip to visit an official service center.
Does HN strategically push or withhold desirable content on each refresh in the most addictive way possible specifically to keep people refreshing the page and prevent them stopping?

I think intent matters for a lot here, as does who/what is pulling the levers. If popular content organically rises to the top because people like it that's not really a problem, but if content is artificially pushed to the top or hidden entirely to push an agenda that could be an issue.
I wonder how many airports in the world are at such significant risk of "lava flow" and other catastrophic natural disasters.

I actually see Tampa International this way. Its literally on the coast, and just barely missed near two near Cat-5 hurricanes in two years. And that risk is not shrinking.
netplan can actually use systemd-networkd as a backend. It will just generate the unit files, and let systemd do the job.

Recreational coding can be fun; to me it's a more stimulating pastime than solving crosswords or soduko.

Some work coding can be like that; but some is just wading through a mass of stuff to fix or improve something uninteresting.
This is not a .NET problem.

There really isn't a simple way to do cross platform (Windows/Linux/macOS) UIs with any language. The least bad option is to make it a web page, maybe wrap it with Electron.

Index processing should happen on the client's device (server never sees the content). That defeats the purpose since you need full mailbox on your device for that. At least in the beginning.

Maybe over longer period it would be possible to integrate and maintain the index so, that you can guarantee the correctness without full mailbox.

did that accidentally via the military. enlisted out of HS -- the post-9/11 US was a weird place -- and CLEP'd out of a few courses, and then did community college until I hit the 2 year mark.

transferred easily to a large state school, and then hit a high-end tech school for grad.

Finished with ~40% of the GI bill money left, and spent that on IT certs and part of the grad school cost. Meanwhile dudes I know from HS dropped 50k a year to go to private schools and are still paying off loans.

I don't think my undergrad courses were particularly bad or good. English 101 has some pretty straightforward curriculums, and US history hasn't changed that much.
Standard mirrors are only ~98% reflective (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror#Reflectivity). For example, "infinity mirrors" will fade as the number of reflections increase (https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/305329/are-infin...).
The only thing that makes me doubt electronic voting is the relative lack of distributed counting and thus audit-ability.

That said, I rank conspiracy theories on how many people would be involved in carrying it out, and the idea of a malicious voting machine system capable of having votes altered would take too many knowing participants at various levels of the tool chain.

I would welcome learning more or else implementing more "spot audits" of results in order to minimize the likelihood of any changing of votes.
Right now I'm in the middle of the chicken and the egg problem where we don't have enough authors cataloging their publications and b/c of that obviously readers are not interested in using the site.

I've gone back and forth with taking Open Libray's [0] catalog as that would at least flesh out our collection of books but then I'd have to deal with verifying authors to accounts so they can access their books. Which sounds like a major headache and also just defeats the concept of building a community.

Since this is really a weekend project, I'm just going to keep building the tools out to perfection and hope people will trickle in over time.

Luckily for me I just want to write, so the tools I'm building are exactly what works for my writing goals and I think overtime others will find the same value.

And yet it's so obvious that a random Hackernews independently discovers it and repeats it on every Chat GPT post, and prophesies it as some inevitable future. Not could happen, will happen. The clueless researchers will be blindsided by this of course, they'll never see it coming from their ivory tower.

And yes Chat GPT fails to write code that runs all the time. But it's not very interesting to talk about without an example.
Similarly, it always weirds me out when I'm behind someone and can't see their head or at least part of their face in their rearview. Tells me that they probably can't see what's behind them.
Yeah... Location tracking is available via other methods, so your argument on that issue is a little moot.

There are different levels of impact, but generally all EU governments consider the government to be "competent at safeguarding private data". Making any and all data collection justified.

Even Germany collects a lot of private data.
