To use the expression "the language Jesus spoke" is to imply that a Jesus actually existed and said things quoted. But the best current scholarship today demonstrates persuasively that no walking, talking Jesus ever existed (never mind was executed extra-judicially). If any did, nothing he said found its way into the New Testament.

Certainly, neither Paul writing in the 50s, nor the Roman church elders who wrote 1 Clements in the 60s had heard of a Jesus ever saying anything noteworthy, despite that backup from that quarter would have enormously eased their own arguments. The anonymous author of "Mark" writing in the 70s evidently confabulated a Jesus to mouth Paul's opinions (as found in his letters) to silence quarrelsome opposition. Amazingly, "Mark" seems to have had little more than Paul to draw on, even then. Every scrap else written down seems to have been torched by his time.

It is particularly interesting that (the anonymous forger of the book of) "John" chose to scrub the "camel" line from his personal canon.

There is not so much as a hint of actual evidence that there was ever any such thing as a Q source, nor M, L, or J; nor any "oral traditions". All are figments of the bubbling "biblical scholar" imagination. The dozens of other gospels left out of the canon, and the even more numerous forged Pauline letters, a few adopted as canon, illustrate how wholesale fabrication was the normal mode of literary production in the early Church. What the anonymous authors of "Matthew" wrote not found in "Mark", of "Luke" that wasn't in either, and of "John" that wasn't in any, is very evidently their personal opinions on what their private Jesuses should have said. ("John" even invented from whole cloth an entire disciple, Lazarus, as his own Jesus's favorite that the other gospels have as at most a wholly hypothetical figure.)

If you are curious about the scholarship, you could start at "Why Invent the Jesus" on YT. Literally none of it has even been replied to, never mind refuted, in any peer-reviewed medium.
I hear ya. We have a Toyota that's over a decade old at this point. It only ever needs routine maintenance. We'd like to purchase something newer for the same reasons as yours. But also everything is now "smart" and always online. Just like I want my TVs, I want a dumb vehicle with buttons and knobs. But dumb with premium features like how vehicles used to be, not the cheapest barebones models.
Can you give any examples of somebody that was unjustly vilified by the public until top secret information was released that exonerated them?

I'm looking to sell and move permanently overseas if Trump wins next fall, I'm planning on setting up a contract position in Europe well before that and watch and vote from abroad.
Surprisingly it works pretty well for me. Where we work we have a weird go and non-go module setup but everything works with almost no additional tweaking on vscode side, just exporting some env variables.

But Python? I hate the testing setup. We have a mono repo, while not as big as meta’s, full discovery eats cpu. So we had to tweak our settings, per team, to only discover team specific dirs. Also, there is no way to kill a running test (at least no obvious shortcut or button-wtf)
So what is Nathan Labenz saying? That GPT-4 is dangerous somehow? It will get many people out of jobs? MS Office got all the typists out of jobs. OCR and Medical Software got all the medical transcriptionists out of jobs. And they created a lot more jobs in the process. GPT-4 is a very powerful tool. It has not a whiff of AGI in it. The whole AGI "scare" seems to be extremely political.
I think the only thing that matters is getting the news to readers one way or the other. The biggest problem here is that most news outlets publish underfunded garbage if not click bait.

An even weirder perspective: What if they didn't kill reader?

You assume that you would need big airports. The UK is full of smaller airports. And more could be built if there is demand. Noise and pollution are much less of a factor with electrical planes. And with vtols, any open space or roof potentially qualifies as a spot where you can land. Most of the constraints with current aviation don't really apply here.
Asking half rethorically, how would these descriptions be different if they were fully objective and the guy was a really horrible person ?

In general a podcast series will be started after the hosts have researched the subject, and decided they have an angle to present it to their public. Following them while doing their research could be interesting at small doses, but the number of absolute non stories or boring conclusions would be staggering and they'd need to be crazy entertaining by themselves to keep a whole podcast going on that pace.

It's harsh to fault them for having an opinion on the subject they dug to the end, and a conclusion already made at the time they start recording the series.

It's interesting that motorcycles show a flat and unambiguous 30% fewer fatal crashes when riding bikes equipped with ABS. Which does somewhat support the theory that it's down to a Jevons-paradox-alike effect, given that AFAICT motorcyclists tend to be reckless enough drivers that there's no physical way for them to become more reckless in response to improved safety technology.

I don't know if I find the Microsoft/OpenAI favor trading allegation that persuasive (unless new information is uncovered, e.g. Microsoft letting Sam use a private jet or something like that). However if the SEC actually ends up enforcing the "fiduciary duty is to humanity" thing in OpenAI's charter at some point, that would be incredibly sweet.

Staying curious is so important for a realistic worldview.

While it was obvious to everybody Elon, would kill twitter with his actions. Elon's world view is that the advertisers will kill the company.

I've seen this behaviour over and over with leaders. They tend to turn the facts upside down and present it asif it's true without any doubt.
Podcasts, like live news, radio talk shows, and other scheduled throughput based media, have to fill time with content. If there's nothing intelligent to say, they say stuff anyways.

Lies.

Reagan acknowledged and apologized within days.
It depends on your evaluation of his outcomes, but the scholarly opinion of him is that the legacy of his that endures is the death toll, while the geopolitical outcomes were bad for the U.S. (losing Vietname/Cambodia/Laos), temporary advantages (Pinochet in Chile), or opinionated side-taking that has not been good for the U.S. or the world (Israel/Palestinians).

He was very effective at remaining in a position of power and influence. I don't think you'll find many who believe he was as consequentially good for America.
Can a Prius keep going if one of its ICE or EV motors dies? Then its not complexity, its redundancy!
Prepare yourself: the entire canon was equally made up from whole cloth, right from the beginning. The rope/camel line is neither more nor less made-up than the rest; it was just made up a bit later.

Notice though that the anonymous author of "John" appears to have tried to scrub it in the early/mid second century. It was apparently already a troublesome image by that time.
It isn't only his opponents who hated him, it's the countless families and friends of the innocent bystanders who got caught in Kissinger's crossfire.

It was a part of all the reasons the empire started to collapse. The main reason wasn't that printing press was banned, but the mentality behind the ban.

They failed to adapt. They failed to recognize what made previous sultans so successful. Instead of innovating, they decided it would be better to keep the status quo. When they realized the need to modernize, it was already too late. They had already become the sick man of Europe.

Should a country overthrow the democratically elected government of another country because of non-life-threatening business losses? (Chile)

Should a country delay a peace process with an enemy nation for several years for the sake of optics over peace? (Vietnam)

Should a world leader meant to promote peace and de-escalation of armed conflict intentionally snub and antagonize their chief political rival with nukes, for the sake of optics? (USSR regarding wars in the mideast)

From my brief reading in the past few hours, it seems he decided a number of US policy positions that not only killed a large number of humans, but did so by expressly ignoring the stated principles of liberalism, self-determination and human decency and honor.

So I guess if people were to fully support him and his actions, I would at least ask them to be consistent and say "I do not believe in a rules-based world order and I do not believe the US has any obligation to advance human rights worldwide".

There are times the US has done things that were horrific, but were deemed absolutely essential to saving more lives than they cost - such as the bombing of Japan. Kissinger's difference is that none of the moves he endorsed seem to have been necessary to the survival of the "West" or the US, but it cost more lives than the bombings.
And, demonstrated that it too was fabricated.

GDP is a measure of value produced. An increase in GDP does not require an increase in consumption of finite materials.
It is amazing that we can do A/D and D/A at anything faster than audio... let alone 28 GHz D/A and 20 GHz A/D. The hardware required to anything more just process the samples at those speeds and do anything more than frequency shifting is one of the compute intense things I can imagine.
The combined will of the employees is much less meaningful when they're saying "DO IT OR WE'LL TAKE AN ATTRACTIVE OFFER THAT'S ON THE TABLE."

I'd have been more impressed by their unity if it would have meant actually losing their jobs.
I don't think it means that the board is useless, but rather that their power has a limit, as all leadership positions do, and the way the fired the CEO has crossed the line too far.
CarPlay is hit-or-miss. It's been totally unusable in every Chevy I've driven and moderately bad in some other cars, but it worked flawlessly in my last Chrysler rental car of all things.

You know what's even better than a working CarPlay, the cupholder in my own car that can hold my phone in a nicely visible spot.
I agree they're both lost metaphors, and also that zip is really not very good. If you grok it, then sure. If you forget it, then its just a random TLA functioncall.

I'm not sure what I think zip() should be. pair() ? smooge()?

What does that mean? What qualifies algorithmic and what qualifies as a feed?

Clearly, HN itself needs to drop anything except for "new", which makes that a pretty useless website. What if someone were to curate the best of HN on another site? would that be an algorithmic feed? what if it were all manual? what about if it were mostly automatic?

Is filtering the set of public posts down to only the ones from users that I follow an algorithmic feed? It's certainly not just chronological.

Certainly you mean that youtube autoplay could only what? Like it must just play videos from the same user and in published order? could users define playlists that it would autoplay in?

Google search results are certainly algorithmic, is that a feed? what if I include site:twitter.com? Can a twitter-like site have an API? Is it a requirement that the 3rd party developers cannot create an algorithmic feed from that?

What about a dedicated sports feed on twitter? is that algorithmic if whether a tweet is considered sports or not is done automatically?

Just like HN, reddit is pretty much done for as any non-tiny subreddit is going to only have a chronological spammed feed. In fact, this plan doubly benefits spammers: (1) you can't filter out spam because that's algorithmic and (2) you have to look at the spam because it must be shown in chronological order.

I mean, the whole idea very clearly means that you shutdown any site featuring user generated content of HN's size or larger (and probably to bit smaller as well).

There is always a rational view, whether it falls as centrist on the political ideology spectrum of the times is immaterial.
ACA is not economic policy.

Democrats have not even come close to opposing any tax cuts that I know of. They complain in the media but still vote for them every time.

Democrats did not oppose the jobs act. Again, complaining in the media doesn't count.
I had fun designing and machining a simple steam engine with a one inch piston. It actually worked, though it was poorly balanced and vibrated too much.

Unfortunately, it consumed many many hours in the machine shop, and was one reason why I decided to write software - I could realize my ideas much faster!
Yes. I got that too. I don't want their brokerage, just their funds. I'm paying the $25/year fee. I want separation of functions, for security reasons.
Not just egos, a 9-figure secondary tender offer employees were counting on.

It might be some small consolation that I know a lot of Americans who are celebrating his death, rather than mourning it.
Having posted open job reqs online in the past couple years and seen the absolute deluge of fraudulent resumes you get, I'd welcome this culture.
Yes I agree with all of this. It seems obvious, right? I mean you could just rattle all this off the top of your head same as I did. So why in the world are they apparently not doing anything of the sort, and instead just watching idly as their magic money machine gets destroyed by the equivalent of malevolent script kiddies/vandals?
This is the era of my 3 cars, but really they weren't the height of ICE tech. There was a breakthrough in power/efficiency around 2018. I just like how non-fussy the older cars are and how they look.

Reducing the cost of medical transcription to ~$0 is one thing. Reducing the cost of assassination to ~$0 is quite another.
Can’t we have high energy density liquid fuels and electric engines?
Sounds like you need to stop relying on the dealer and find one of those old guru mechanics that can diagnose a car just by listening to it. Good mechanics are worth their weight in gold and I promise they’re out there if you look for them.
Why does it feel like everyday I see some new example of stupidity on HN.
The simplest inference is that Luke simply cribbed what he liked directly from Matthew, and omitted what he didn't.

There is not a hint of evidence for unattested "sources" beyond their fevered imaginations. Making shit up was just how the stuff was produced, at the time, as illustrated by the (literally!) dozens of other "gospels" and forged epistles from the same period.
Why are you only impressed if the power of employees comes with high cost to their career? When employers exercise their power capriciously, they often do so without any material consequences. I'm more impressed with employees doing the same, i.e., exercising power with impunity.
> If you give busy reviewers an easy "out" ...

Reviewers looking for an "easy way out" might be inevitable if they continue to remain uncompensated and uncredited for their time and efforts while journals get all the profits for other peoples' research.
I thought floor mats were put up as the most likely cause of the Toyota "spontaneous acceleration" incident?

Anecdotally my late model Camry has very thorough floor mat retention mechanisms.
This is cool! I'm now wondering if it's possible to shell out to it from a Roslyn Analyzer (= C# compiler plugin). At the very least I'm sure I could automatically generate FPCore expressions from C# ASTs.
I'd say from that article its more nuanced: They do listen but it's not the higher input, compared to the in-house experts.
Not for any definition of curvature that springs to mind. There may well be definitions for which that's true (let me know, I'm curious!), but they're not what I meant. As I said, I was considering covering a cone with physical tiles. My point was that the same tile cannot be placed at different heights along the cone, because a slice along the tile will have to conform to ever larger circles.
MacOil (not a joke). They have 17 shops in Germany.
I can't wait to see if Elon Musk puts out a similar statement, in regards to what X plans to do to avoid amplifying misinformation.

Ask HN: How can I have a stable career when I don't like talking to most people?
I'm born into lower income parents and don't have many connections let alone connections to "higher places". I am single, I have only a handful of friends that I talk to regularly and I am happy with that.

I don't want to live for my job, and don't care about company social events or other events for professionals. I want to have a good, steady career without increasing my social activity for work as I get older. I'm a total homebody. Would rather watch TV and movies and do solitary hobbies when I'm at home, find my future partner online and have the rest work itself out.

Currently I'm unemployed but I still have an odd kind of optimism that cold applying will get me a job. Either I should work on my deficiencies, or work on my strengths and not worry about the "network" approach, which can be a better pick?
...would be very interesting to see who makes the most reliable 2nd hand car.

60% done but over a month or so because I’m looking at translations for the Italian or Latin interspersed within and get bored then have other things to do.
Do you think they got to that point without trying to "reach across the aisle" and talk to these folks? I promise you I didn't come to similar conclusions without having hundreds of conversations with people I disagreed with.

It's not that they're evil. It's more often that they're selfish.

Also, there are plenty of people "on my side" who I disagree with and I can have productive conversations because we have the same goals. I disagree with a lot of liberal principles (they're pretty god-awful and selfish people themselves, ahem Pelosi). But I think there's still enough of a range of views within the Democratic party that if you got rid of all of the Republicans, I would still disagree with like 80% of congress.

I would just also have a prayer that compromises could be made, because we're not starting negotiations from a position where 50% of congress is going to say 'no' no matter what regardless of who it hurts.

Have you seen the Tuberville thing where he claims our military is weak, but he refuses to allow any military promotions through? Republicans complain about the gov't not working, and then go work overtime to make sure nothing gets done.
Don't confuse static variables with global ones.
Although I have troubles rationalising it I feel like this would be wrong. Should a citizen abroad not be able to vote on how these kind of people are treated (social services, taxes and such)?
Some country do not allow dual citizenship but I don't think I like this idea either.
Some places restricts some privileges if you don't live there atleast a few months out of the year so this could potentially be a way to implement it. You can't vote in an election cycle if you didn't live there atleast 3 months or something. But then again this won't prevent weaponizing democracy.
All in all it's a very complexes situation that warrants a serious discussion.

P.S not a US citizen
