Since we are talking about health, the ultra wealthy are still human beings, they get sick and die like the rest of us.

And they want to stay healthy and live long, also like the rest of us.

It means it is in their own selfish interest to invest loads of money into health, because that is what will help them achieve that goal.

But again, their body is much like our bodies, so every advance in medicine that can help them live longer will ultimately help us live longer. Maybe at first, only the wealthy will be able to get these state of the art treatment, but processes will improve, patents will expire, and sooner or later, they will be available to all of us.

This is one instance where there is no real need to "tax the rich", research is good for all of mankind, the rich are not taking away knowledge from the poor. This is in contrast to natural resources, like land. If the rich want to build their manor on some good spot, the poor that live there will have to leave. But if a cancer treatment is found for the rich, it will not take away a cancer treatment for the poor, in fact, that's the opposite, as it is likely that a few years after, the poor will also get the rich treatment.
Ask HN: Nw.js or Electron
I've read the blog spam, the Stackoverflow, even the Slant comparison. Now I would love to read your thoughts.

I'm leaning heavily towards NW.js because you can just download it and don't an npm project.
I don't know who Olivia Coleman is, but I've seen stuff this blatant on Netflix. There was a reality show where they go looking for antiques and hidden gems in old barns. But on the way, they got real hungry and had to stop for a delicious SubWay™ sandwich, featuring this limited time promotional menu item that's amazingly tasty and filling.
Happened with crude oil in 2020. If you’re still going to produce it but have no where to store it you need to pay people to receive a shipment of 10,000 barrels.

brilliant and sublimely haunting piece. I knew it would come up in this thread somewhere. I only wish it were slightly shorter and less involved in some of the weedier details, because it's current form is rather Limited in the audience that I can share it with, most people just don't have the time even if they do have the curiosity. would be an excellent way to introduce the bigger picture agency problems, of effectively handing out -intentionally or not - a perpetual "clone me" license to anyone who wishes to use your consciousness for any purpose up to and including unrestricted torture and sadism. "uploading your consciousness into a computer" gets generally positive interest from people ( like myself, before encountering some of this material) who haven't given much consideration to the consequences of subjecting ones individual human consciousness to open source licensing and 'market forces.'
Well, if you go after the actual problem and not just talking points, you'll know it's a lot bigger than the military. And that the US military is extremely important for the whole global house of cards to stay standing.

Glad to hear that limited government is now considered leftist politics. No more pork barrels for the Democrats?
One major reason is that they're a good fit with solid-rocket boosters. The Ariane rocket family SRB's have commonality with the French SLBM.

I've noticed something about reality. You know what makes sense in reality. You know the procedures, the logic, the rules. You expect the world to evolve according to them. But it rarely does. Case in point this entire episode of firing and rehiring Altman in the span of less than a week.

* What is added by this report?

Thirteen human cases and 686 animal infections [of guinea worm] were reported in 2022. Three human cases and 315 animal infections were reported during January–June 2023. As of August 2023, dracunculiasis remained endemic in five countries (Angola, Chad, Ethiopia, Mali, and South Sudan).

* What are the implications for public health practice?

With only 13 human cases [of guinea worm] identified in 2022 and three during January–June 2023, program efforts appear to be closer to reaching the goal of eradication. However, dog infections and impeded access because of civil unrest and insecurity in Mali and South Sudan continue to be the greatest challenges for the program.

Merse Is Now Open Source: Your Stories to Every Format Imagined
It is a tool that transforms your everyday moments, stories, and experiences into lasting legacies in various forms — including comics, books, films, voice recordings, autobiographies, and beyond.
Copying/sharing media is not the same as stealing from a store. We already had this debate like 30 years ago - "You wouldn't download a car!" Unless you really believe that borrowing a book from a friend deprives the author of a sale and that that's equivalent to pickpocketing $10 from the author.

Google has every right to restrict who gets to access their services (although antitrust concerns do come up) and every user has the right to control the software on their devices.
An amazing start:

“It was quite by accident I discovered this incredible invasion of Earth by lifeforms from another planet. As yet, I haven’t done anything about it; I can’t think of anything to do. I wrote to the Government, and they sent back a pamphlet on the repair and maintenance of frame houses.”
Yes but barely. I consider myself a person on whom advertising doesn't work. But then I would prefer international brands in an unfamiliar city simply because I'm getting exactly the experience or the product I already know. But IMO that's not because they advertise out of literally everything, it's because they're international, the consistency is one of the primary benefits of that. (although US McDonald's did disappoint me)
Brewed down to one cause I would say Edward Bernays.
Those eyes are in orbits, naturally.
> It’s supposed to be functional.

For whom? Aldi who is highlighted? Google who is paid? Or the poor suckers trying to find something?

A subtle dark pattern that Google uses is that they have roughly one size of POI, so there isn't enough space to show everything, or most things, it has to pick and choose. That artificial scarcity is tied to the profit motive (pay for prominence) and is user hostile.

Sure, grocery stores are most common, but often you're looking for something else. Using small icons, smaller text, or some other UI affordance to facilitate finding what you need nearby, quickly and without text searching, would be great, but isn't in Google's interest.
I disagree with the prediction the author made about Microsoft aligning with Apple/meta and not taking the same accepting stance as Google/Amazon are.

They don't have as good point as Meta does (Tbf no other company has), and unlike Apple/Ticktock they are used to work with EU legislation and its limits. I would be surprised if they try to litigate (that would show inexperience imho).
Just so the lede isn’t buried: a creator in this sense creates content for money.
If that's what you wanted LG makes the 43UN700 monitor which also offers 60W USB-C power. I have an earlier generation of it.
It would be great to see the stats. The fact that they are actually reusing them (up to 18 times on their most used booster core!) probably says it makes economic sense.
following your logic, people should actively engaged with ads if not they are grifting. Please tell me you work for google?
> If you just say “no blockers” you’re doing it wrong in my opinion.

This only works when you trust your team members.
This means absolutely nobody who can fire me on the spot, not my supervisor, not my skip, not the CEO/CTO/VP should be on the call.
No non-technical staff from the above list should have a right to challenge estimates.
No product owner can belong to the above list.
There should be openness when technical decisions made by a team get overriden from people on the above list.
Especially when something painful like a terse edict to the effect of "allow x and y from security and audit team full, direct, read-write-execute permission to the backing data store of your micro service in production".

If there is no communication from the top, or there are negative consequences for speaking up, expect people to mentally check out.
So I assume Sony and Xbox are using Wi-Fi to use Audio on their controllers?
Doing any of those things without the algorithm showing your videos to people is hard though. They also require 3k watch hours in the past year so they expect you to grind for at least a year to "prove" you are worth monetizing.

That or go viral somehow and bootstrap yourself (which is likely why the shorts views are so high). Obvious not impossible as people still do it but the math seems suspect to me.

YouTube gets thousands of hours of video uploaded every second. I'm not sure what the ratio of monetized accounts to non-monetized accounts is, but if YouTube can run a channel "for free" for a year because they aren't monetizing it yet, it seems there's a threshold they are willing to accept to serve videos "nobody wants to see" until enough people do want to see it and they advertise on it.

So the high profile creators are costing YouTube money to serve their videos and YouTube wants help paying that cost. But they only extract it from channels they know are profitable because there are a lot of eyeballs on those videos.

Almost like they are promising X ad views to advertisers and want to keep that numbers game rolling. I feel like ad based spending is going to go through a correction in the next decade.
Must agree with you. Even when GPT-2 not impressed me much, but with GPT-3 and GPT-4 we constantly see significant progress, not seen on near every other technologies.

Even if GPT-5 will be fatally expensive, but still show such leap as GPT-4, it will be enough to consider OpenAI most successful AI research in human history.

And for about expenses, we just need to wait some 10 years, and GPT-3 class tech will be in every smartphone, and in 30 years, GPT-4 will become also affordable for everyone, GPT-5 will be just ordinary business workhorse.
Ok cool. It's very, very useful. Clearly the biggest technological development in my life, and I grew up before the Internet.
If you made a robot that automatically goes there and takes the food and throws away all the samples I bet they would stop serving that robot very quickly.
Happens frequently in CAISO midday during shoulder months (https://www.caiso.com/PriceMap/Pages/default.aspx). Renewable generation produces a lot (sunny, decent wind) and electricity usage is so low, that supply exceeds demand. Electricity has to go somewhere to keep the grid balanced, so the utilities will wholesale electricity at negative rates.

> The US government keeps funding SpaceX through a number military and civilian contracts

The US government "funds" SpaceX in the same way you fund Apple when you buy an iPhone or Shell when you buy gas.

They are a customer, they pay for a product/service.

They are not giving money for free just to keep them afloat.
It could be because people are blocking too many ads?
I'm not trying to change the topic. OP referred to "Adversarial Testing for LLMs and Chatbots"

I'm not trying to start a flamewar. This is an honest observation: I find it odd that people talk about "alignment" and some of them brag about "unalingned" AIs when only mentioning a few tests such as romatic role play, or giving instructions to build a bomb. IMO, these are not good tests for alignment.

I wonder if we could take some ethics tests from various fields that are designed to test if someone knows what is legal and what is illegal, and check the AI against those tests. Alternately, I wonder if we could give an AI quizzes on what the laws say.
A lot of those people work for adtechs. Once you realize that 50% of bigtech is relying almost entirely on ads, a lot of people are simply advocating for keeping their FAANG salaries by forcing us to watch debilitating ads.

>I like how you call users dumb for choosing Apple and clever for wanting to sideload.

That's clearly not what is written, don't invent a false narrative with your lack of comprehension skills.

Also going to need a citation for this beauty:

>"they [apple] have repeatedly said internally the lock is for revenue alone"

But judging from your reading skills earlier, I don't have confidence in it being forthcoming.
Just curious, why not just self-host if you are worried about pricing? It is pretty easy and you have full control.
> I hope the author discovers that not all companies do software like he describes. It sounds like it is time he starts interviewing the company, too, instead of just letting them interview him. Ask about how the projects are structured, ask how much autonomy a developer has to make decisions about how the code is structure, whether developers have some input on the projects they work on, maybe ignore companies that are "agile".

Protip: Companies will lie through their teeth about stuff like this. "Interviewing the company" sounds all well and good until you consider the power asymmetry: you lie on your part of the interview, you get fired or maybe sued. They lie on their part, unless you can retain a good employment attorney AND they blatantly violated labor laws, the most you can do is quit (and you may not be able to afford to do that).
With appropriate funds to the revenue services it's easier to flag and investigate likely tax evasion these days than in days of yore.
But it was always ostensibly a human behind the magazine ad. That was the fantasy.

AI flooding the space would be like little bits of skin visibly peeling off all the magazine models, exposing a robot underneath. If that's ubiquitous, it breaks the spell.

A break won't happen instantly, but the illusion no longer sustainable, outside the much smaller niche of people idolizing actual fantasy characters.

> Copying/sharing media is not the same as stealing from a store

This is different, you aren't copying youtube videos and sending them to a friend using your own resources, you are using their server capacity to watch it yourself.

So you are costing Youtube money just like stealing from a store costs the store money. So the old "copying is not theft" argument doesn't hold here. It does work for torrenting etc, but not when you stream directly from their servers.
Nobody was able to learn anything prior to YouTube.
I think I have much more problem with the idea that table_enum is "proper enums" than with the choice to name Rust's sum types enum.

Because Rust is a low bit-banging language, union needs to exist, which I think rules out calling enum "tagged unions" even if that's one possible way to look at the implementation. In a high level language which lacks union types this wouldn't an issue, but Rust is not that language.
You can't disregard merge commits. It's part of the structure.
Does that definitely negate the value in merging this?

I'm not up on the distinctions here but it seems like people may have older headphones where this could still result in improved quality and it seems like low hanging fruit.
Thanks for sharing. Two questions:

1)What’s the main use case for this?
2)Was training your own LLM necessary? How did GPT-4 compare?
Also in that same video:

The many people who risk/tank their career to speak out about injustice in the world, specifically Gaza in this case but in general.
Opportunistic interjection that unnecessary ${} is the most bothersome style choice in any language I know of:

- It obscures actual uses of modifiers, particularly ${foo-} when set -u is in effect,

- It's obvious when a name runs into subsequent text, even if one has somehow avoided syntax highlighting,

- And expansions followed by identifier chars don't actually occur in practice. Cases where the quotes cannot be moved to surround the variable are often interpolation of an argument to echo, whose behaviour is such a mess not even portable between bash and dash that shellcheck ought to be demanding printf at all times instead!
Freeze pane...you're so right about that one. Every time I want to use it, it's like a 5-minute needle in the haystack search.

Almost all software is multitenant / easily shardable in some way. Ans almost all software can easily run on a single machine.
I take issue with equating the three actions of not viewing ads, piracy and shoplifting although, I am absolutely 100% alright with all three for different reasons.

Not viewing ads is a lot more like not looking at billboards on the highway or not reading the inserts you get in your free local newspaper.

Pirating movies is a method of showing disdain for extractive and manipulative IP law that lines the pockets of nasty old rich fuds while not paying the actual artists that made a work. I would not pirate an indie film for instance.

Stealing from large supermarkets is basically just preventing them from throwing the unsold food away at the end of the profit cycle. Again the only person youre stealing from is the ruling class who profit off of hunger and poverty.
Ah thank you. I remember now. Still weird that this can also happen (and is allowed to happen) in an energy market.

>Surface Go is available in eMMC version.

Yes I'm sure all the three Surface Go owners in the world will be devastated.

>Basically anything under $700 has a chance to be an eMMC laptop.

You must be joking. Maybe like sub 300 USD. I have a 700 Euro Laptop and it came with a 1TB NVME and most cheap sub 500 Euros laptops I find are all still with SSDs not eMMC.

SSDs are now so cheap you'll find them everywhere instead of eMMCs. You really need to go out of your way and scrape the bottom of the barrel to find them today in new products.

The PowerShell syntax, to me, is one of the most unbelievably cryptic things I've ever seen. I really can't get on with it at all.
The big issue is that these "currencies" are treated as assets. People accumulate them in hopes of them going up. They need to have an expiration associated with the coin so it becomes a currency for payments, not an asset to accumulate. Something like an expiration date of 6 months after you receive them. People will need to use them or lose them. I would propose that they have a shorter expiration time during recessions and longer during expansions.
I had this frequently in my early 20's. It is no longer frequent; the last time I got it was about 8 months ago. Prior to that I can't recall. It's weird.
Snaps were one of the main reasons I moved from Mint to Ubuntu.

Traditional package management is a terrible fit for modern systems and apps.

If you have dozens of apps and they each have dozens of dynamically linked dependencies, you'll probably get an occasional compatibility issue.

At first I really liked Flatpak, but the ecosystem isn't there. Everything I use is in Snapcraft, with Flatpak I still would occasionally have to hand install something or add a custom deb repo.

My only real complaint is the proprietary backend. It doesn't directly affect me much, since it's not like I'd want to use an alternate store when the official one has everything, but it does get in the way of adoption without seeming to benefit canonical that much.

Companies are way too afraid of FOSS competitors, they forget how much users like convenience and standardization and sticking with stock settings.
The first exchange is as fair to the wild man as anyone else, property rights over land or something is I think where that topic goes..

If you had no reasonable way to acquire a toilet (like all of mankind until quite recently) would you choose to explode for the reassurance that the poo you step in is from dogs and wildlife? Earlier people apparently didn't choose extinction.
> They also require 3k watch hours in the past year so they expect you to grind for at least a year to "prove" you are worth monetizing.

No, if you get 3k watch hours on a video you are good to go, you don't have to wait a year. I've seen plenty of channels get monetized within weeks since they already had an audience.
If Google stops tracking you, you'll get recommended vlogs and toddler videos. Getting good recommendations and knowing what I haven't yet watched in my subscriptions is worth my viewing data.
Thank you! Try telling Slack that. Report a bug, and they get back to you asking you to change this and that, try again, take a screen recording, blah blah blah - No! I've pointed out to you where there's an issue, described it, have your QA team attempt a reproduction, maybe get back to me if they can't and I'll be more willing, but why do they think I would have time for or care to do their QA, especially when in all likelihood I am a user via my own work.
