Mass surveillance is, like most absolute power, cancer of the soul. I have read your email, and your IMs; I know first-hand how it corrupts a person. I can, without hesitation, guarantee that the situation is like that in the movie Elysium[0]: "They will hunt you to the edge of the earth for this [capability]."

The most salient point, I think, is that it is worthless, from a LEO perspective, to tap into communication systems used by the masses--whether through provider taps or client-side scanning like Apple's purported CSAM AI--unless what you're really after is a way to monitor the general public at large.

There's no way in hell that a nefarious player with technical resources, or chops themselves, would use one of these public systems to communicate with their compatriots. There are infinite and myriad bespoke channels of covert communications that these laws would never be able to touch which are much more likely to be the hubs of serious malfeasance.

I dont know what’s worse. The fact that there are people who believe procedural text generators have insights and a theory of mind or the fact that we are taking them seriously and we need to publish papers to disprove their insanity.
Good to hear, unfortunately my favorite add-on Multi-Account Containers is not in the list :/

I guess it is one of the more complex to port from a technical point of view. Hopefully soon!
Every single one of them wants to get off the street. Doing drugs in a house is way better than on the street.

That's the rub - society doesn't want the homeless dragging their vices into these homes. So the homeless just stay on the street where they can do whatever they want.
Abstract:

> It is 50 years since Tony Hoare observed “certain close analogies between the methods used for structuring data and the methods for structuring a program which processes that data”. But programs have both static structure (following the data) and dynamic structure (execution), and these need not coincide. For example, breadth-first tree traversal should be executed across the grain of the tree structure. I will present a technique for resolving the tension between these conflicting forces: the static structure specifies a multi-phase computation, whose dynamic execution structure might be entirely different. The appropriate abstraction turns out to be an applicative functor - similar to but different from the free applicative.

> This is joint work with Oisin Kidney, Tom Schrijvers, and Nicolas Wu.

> The large-scale structure of executing a computation can often be thought of as being separated into distinct phases. But the most natural form in which to specify that computation may well have a different and conflicting structure. For example, the computation might consist of gathering data from some locations, processing it, then distributing the results back to the same locations; it may be executed in three phases—gather, process, distribute—but mostly conveniently specified orthogonally—by location. We have recently shown that this multi-phase structure can be expressed as a novel applicative functor (also known as an idiom, or lax monoidal functor). Here we summarize the idea from the perspective of software architecture. At the end, we speculate about applications to choreography and multi-tier architecture.
Why is curation of web search results important?
My experience is mostly positive.

I have not tested battery life, but it is acceptable to me, as is most of the performance.

I can confirm the full-screen video bug - I just tried watching a video on the New York Times site, and full-screening with Firefox is completely hosed, where Chrome works fine. I have Decentraleyes and uBlock installed as addons.

I use Firefox Beta daily on Android. Works without complaints.

I have used add-ons with it for the past years. The ones you really need, like uBlock Origin, have always been there.
Same here. Even now, I still sometimes set my vim colors to blue background and yellow/white text.
My point is they’re still preventing carbon emissions. It’s not like it took the whole company halting work to get it done.
Plus the centralized internal tools team is incentivized to not use 3rd party solutions (because they'd be out of a job if they did), and they have more sway with upper management even if the game teams complain. This happened to my fried who worked at Apex Legends and she was never able to be as successful at live ops as she wanted to be.

My experience moving from sysadmin/engineer with some programming experience to sales engineer (systems engineer at the time) at Sun included.

I did a lot of user support at university, plus experience at an investment banker, so I had experience dealing with people and their computing needs, and hands-on with the hardware.

I did a bunch of homework, met with customers, prepared presentations, proposals, configurations. Stressful part was when my sales rep left for greener pastures and after some double-duty, breaking in a green sales partner. Wasn't fun.
EDIT: I just realized what you did with your Biden and Obama examples. Counterexamples: Bush the Younger and Trump were both elected despite losing the popular vote — in Trump's case, bigly.

Wondering the same. Also a libvirt and virsh user here, and pretty happy using commands such as `virsh snapshot-create ...`. I've used VMWare ESXi in the distant past, and from the screenshots it looks like Proxmox is maybe inspired by VMWare? So maybe a more polished and integrated GUI based experience than libvirt? Also looks like Proxmox supports containers in addition to virtual machines. Also I see from other comments that there's some features to migrate VMs between hosts, which would be a much more manual effort with libvirt.
Well, normal environments cost a lot of money. A shit ton of money. You know how much an 80 square meters apartment costs in Paris? 1 million euro.

There are cheaper places in France and the US.

Have you lived in a neighborhood near these mentally ill people?

Yes. In SF, outside our apartment window, two different homeless at different times would sometimes stand on the nearby corner and scream at their demons.

And there was just one of them nearby, let alone having more of them concentrated.

Note that I was advocating the opposite of having them concentrated.
For some years before the US had a Poet Laureate, the equivalent honor was Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress. I know Randall Jarrell held the position for a year (whence, I suppose "The Woman at the Washington Zoo"), and I must have known of others.

>Speed is noticably worse than any chromium fork.

My experience is decidedly the opposite, and the single reason for that is uBlock Origin. The principal way to make websites load fast is to make them load less garbage. Fast browser engine is nice but not even close to proper content blocking (e.g. uBlock's JS defusers or DOM rules).

But extension capability is great overall. For example, you don't like how HN styles downvoted comments in unreadable light grey on light grey? Just add a user CSS extension and use this filter:

.c5a, .c73, .c82, .c88, .c9c, .cae, .cbe, .cce, .cdd { color: #222; font-style: italic; }

Job can be described as 70% technical and 30% business.

In term of career, most SE's move either to a sales role such as BDM, AM, AE..etc. But most stick to the tech side and are either happy where they are or move to a Manager of SEs.
Salary and bonus are good too, depending on the company and job description.
Be aware, that some companies ask their SE's to do delivery too. So ask during interview what the role entails.

PS: RFPs are the worst part of the job. but depends on how big the team is and how much help you get.
My understanding is the compiler was insanely efficient and parts of it coded in assembly if I'm not mistaken.
This is backwards though. Musk announced the $40K truck in 2019 for initial delivery in 2021. $40K in 2019 is $42.3K in 2021. Even now, we're at $48K.

Somehow, I get the feeling that the author couldn't care less about any of these conflicts and tragedies, and is only using them to lament the fact that his community cares about other conflicts and tragedies and he would be perfectly happy if the news and the people he mingles with only care about whatever happens in his perfect little Dutch town.

It's completely fine for people to have selective attention when it comes to causes they care about. There might also be many reasons why some people feel invigorated or called to action by certain human conflicts but not others.

The point is not about the example of division, it is about 'tell me your intentions'.

A human also can't explain how their neurons calculated a division, or anything else, or 'intention', even if a gun is pointed at them.

So, why is that a fault of AI if it can't explain how itself is working? It is not a requirement for AGI.

I'm not convinced this is an Africa thing as much as an Ethiopian thing. There are just simply not a lot of western interests in Ethiopia and thus not as much news coverage. Ethiopia flirted with communism for almost 20 years and was an ally of the Soviet Union and has always been a bit closed off to the west. In fact Russia is still flexing it's influence in Ethiopia today:

https://www.politico.eu/article/europe-russia-ethiopia-rethi...

Kenya is another African country that is feared to be on the verge of a civil war, and the violence in Kenya is often covered in the news in the US and Europe. The UK had a long history in Kenya and the US has pretty strong diplomatic ties with Kenya and so news in Kenya tends to get covered in the US and Europe more.
Agreed. The Aztec was the same way. I hate them, my partner thought they were cool.

History is written by the victors^W media controllers.

It is bigger than Africa. Things happens everywhere all the time, some may be much worse than this happening in Ethiopia, but until some of the right groups point the spotlight in a particular point, with a particular reading of it, and maybe a way to win something about it, the global culture will be unaware of it happening. And even if someone not directly involved read something about it, it will vanish as soon as try to compete for attention with the big noisemakers.

There are things that happen in a sudden moment and somewhat ends, a plane crash, an accident in a mine, whatever, that moves the needle for a second and then vanished. But for long standing tragedies, we’ll, we’ve always been at war with Eastasia so there is no merit worrying about it.
That's the kind of math you use Tsiolkovsky rocket equation for.

Best would be to do the EV equivalent of asparagus staging - you have all trucks providing acceleration, but trucks 1 and 2 are also being recharged by truck 3. You then jettison it once its battery runs dry, leaving you with trucks 1 and 2, the latter also charging the former. Again, drop truck 2 as it runs out of juice. This lets you get rid of excess mass as early as possible, maximizing the benefit of extra batteries and thrust.

This one is a little bit different since there are actually still two (well three systems here: 48V, 12V, and the ICE).

These systems have existed for quite some time, since it was a lot easier to use high voltage rated components for all of the 48V high power stuff (e-turbochargers, e-hybrid-compressor-whatevers, other motor driven stuff) but keep just a single downconverter to 12V for everything else.

The problem is that most digital electronics expect something like 1-5V to operate, including most controllers, processors, sensors etc, and typically this conversion is done at the module level in a distributed way. Going from 12V to 1V isn't really a problem (or 24V ish for that matter, which is what they use in notebooks), and 20V and 30V class semiconductors are easy to find and have desirable performance characteristics.

Going from 48V at every module to 12V as an intermediate bus, usually requires a transformer because otherwise you'd be switching the current on for a very short time per cycle (duty cycle proportionate to voltage ratio), and this has implications for efficiency and component sizing. So I'd think this is quite a huge change compared to the old mild hybrid systems
OMG, that is probably one of the ugliest pieces of tin ever put on this planet. Subjectively speaking of course. :)
Ask HN: My partner gets rejected from jobs and we don't know why
Hello all,

My partner is having trouble finding work as a Junior Frontend Developer and we're not sure why. She has applied to dozens of positions and so far only received rejections.
She has a Masters in Design, but worked as a Freelancer on Shopify stores for the last few years. She's a good Web Designer with knowledge of JavaScrip, React and D3.

For reference, we are based in Germany (although she is originally from Mexico). Her German skills are improving but not quite there for business conversations.

Here is her GitHub which also links to her Website: https://github.com/yurith-rubio
And her Resume: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Rp2aUglkh3Z0ID4SyTcSv2DMginOG58k

We would be grateful for any tips on how to improve her chances.
Thanks!

This is clearly someone who is not a user. Probably gave it a try 4 years ago made a list of dislikes, uninstalled, and stuck with the criticism.
The chicken probably thinks, in its limited way, that the line is a snake and the learned behavior is to lay still, hoping the snake would crawl away. A cat would probably jump, if the line is drawn with a bit higher quality.

Another example is birds avoiding vertical stripes, because that's how cats and other predators typically look (two stripes on the forehead).

How would you personally act if you found yourself in a dimly lit room with something like a big snake on the wall? You'd stand still for a minute, as movement would attract the snake, and only after a "timeout" you'd assume the snake is fake.
> A chief goal of artificial intelligence is to build machines that think like people.

Maybe that's their goal.

But for many users of AI, the goal is to have easy and affordable access to a machine that, for some input (perhaps in a tightly constrained domain), gives us the output that we would expect from a high-functioning human being.

When I use ChatGPT as a coding helper, I really don't care about its "theory of mind." And its insights are already as deep (actually more deep) as I get from most humans I ask for help. Real humans, not Don Knuth, who is unavailable to help me.

Exactly. 5 years ago, we would have said what GPT-4 is doing now would be AGI.

Now it is here and it's like "No, what we really meant is it has to be the next Einstein".

People are forgetting how stupid people are.

GPT is already better than average human.

Most people can't do what we claim GPT must be capable of to qualify as AGI.

The only logical conclusion is that many people are also not conscious and don't qualify as being able to reason.

In Jayne's 'The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind', there's some interesting investigation into some of our oldest known tales... Beowulf, The Iliad, etc.

In those texts, emotional and mental states are almost always referred to with analogs to physical sensation. 'Anger' is the heating of your head, 'fear' is the thudding of your heart. He claims that at the time, there wasn't a vocabulary that expressed abstract mental states, and so the distinction between the mind and body was not clear-cut. Then, over time, specialized terms to represent those states were invented, passed into common usage, which enabled an ability to introspect that didn't exist before.

(All examples are made up, I read it more than 20 years ago. But it made an impression.)
