Geezus christ. Just shows how tied to commercialization the mainstream search engines have become, making them next to useless for non-commercial purposes.
Yeah, we're basically in agreement there.

In most cases, I'd say those comment threads that end up almost entirely grayed out were never good candidates for HN stories in the first place.
These websites also keep adding bloat on top of bloat, hell, a goddamn button is 56 layers of nested divs these days instead of just styling the shit out of <button>.

Or they do some batshit insane "polyfill" nonsense that turns the <button> into 56 layers of nested divs behind the hood.

HTML hasn't caught up either, there's no <toggle_switch> that invokes the native toggle switch that every OS already has, devs are forced to mimic the toggle with 85 layers of nested divs.
> A sufficiently powerful corporation is worse than a government, because the current government at least pretends to play by the rules

The most despotic and scary governments of history would probably like a word with you. Maintaining a believable pretense of following any rules is a luxury we take for granted in many countries today, but Mao and Stalin didn't worry about the appearance of propriety.

Not really arguing against your main point though, I think you're right. Just don't forget how bad totalitarian governments can be.
Right to repair has a simple solution. Apply a 100%, 1,000%, or whatever percent necessary excise tax on manufactured products.

With a sufficiently high premium for new products, consumers will automatically start prioritizing device longevity and/or repairability when making their purchasing decisions.

Solving the supply/demand/patent/changing demographics/liability issues of healthcare seem far more complicated.
Yes. We work normal shifts, but also, the very best time to work on servers is after hours/holidays, etc. so we tend to work a lot of both.

We also tend towards ownership of the gear, so it becomes a little personal. It's also a bit of professional pride.

I worked as the Director of IT for 3 hospitals over my career in acute care. I maintained 99%+ uptime on these systems, since this is acute care. I'm proud of that, but man that was a lot of work.

This reminds me of something I noticed on this year's "Summer of Baja Blast" promotion - to make an entry, all you had to do was take a picture of a bottle with your phone - it wasn't scanning any barcodes or QR codes. I thought this was a bit strange (and possibly open to cheating by reusing bottles, although there was a limit of one entry per day). Maybe this was a scheme to get image training data?
> lobbying is about a group making sure that Washington hears about their opinion.

If it was just hearing opinion we wouldn't have any problem. Nobody pays that kind of money for just being heard. This is about shaping the future in a way that they think is best (which is usually best for them, not much for the rest of us)

> If they create an alliance so that the voice of "AI needs to be in the hands of everyone" then this is a splendid effort.

I find it naive to believe that the purpose of a for profit organization is anything but making profit.

> For the purposes of this conversation, I feel like it's the only thing that matters. The web doesn't benefit at all from a WebKit-based browser by Mozilla capturing some of the iOS marketshare.

I believe it matters because it shows Mozilla's ability to market their product (Firefox). If they continuously fail to capture user base on any platform, then what powers Firefox is of little consequence.

As an experiment, I just installed Firefox on iOS just to see what's up and honestly 4 screens of things to confirm before I even get to the browsing part? As a tech person I understood each of them of course, but no sane person would put 4 screens in a row blocking users from using an app they normally already know how top use. So no, I don't believe Mozilla has the required UI/UX skills.
You just need a few sheds full of batteries
Docker compose makes it relatively easy to coordinate multiple containers. But to answer your actual question, yes, that’s possible though definitely not recommended for standard hosting, it’s called DiD (docker in docker) and is fairly common for CIs.

As it shouldn't. Apple should be supporting RCS as the GSMA standard, not RCS as what Google forced its way upon carriers to become the canonical sole source host via Jibe Cloud.

Speed Bitcoin Lightning Wallet App – Bitcoin Payments at Lightning Speed
I remember, in the early millennium, reading Kurzweil’s idealism about the coming singularity, and feeling similar. So much of the advanced technology that he thought will soon be in the hands of ordinary people, could be potentially so lethal that obviously the state would feel the need to restrict it.

(That was one argument against Kurzweil’s vision. Another is that state regulation and licensing moves so slowly at each major technological change, that it would take us decades to get to the point he dreams of, not mere years. You aren’t going to see anything new rolled out in the healthcare sector without lots and lots of debating about it and drawing up paperwork first.)

I am saying there is no "disinformation detection" industry, trade, field of study. It is a new name for "propaganda", and in this instance rather than simply telling lies, they are saying those telling the truth are lying, and doing so with a contrived color of authority. And it is a global problem.
Fried > boiled :)
I've definitely thought about this problem and think it's in the range of 'feasible', but it would be pretty slow and expensive given how much context you need to provide a model for it to be able to reason about the game state. Worth trying though!
Ignoring tax credits, EVs were cheaper to comparable ICE vehicles when I did my calculation earlier this year after factoring fuel savings. But that is, admittedly, going to depend on the individual person's driving habits and fuel prices in their area, as well as their electricity prices. We drive a decent amount, our fuel prices are high, and our electricity prices are low, so we were close to the perfect combination of factors for EV. That is likely not the case everywhere.

For me, that ended up being ~$100/month which was decidedly more than the increase in monthly payment. And that's ignoring that the savings continue beyond the end of the payments.

It's also ignoring used vehicle prices. When I looked, and again, in my area, the difference in price between used vehicles was larger than in new.

I detest this with a passion. It's a common refrain, and one that rejects any empathy or sympathy; strikes me as relentless, heartless, and small.

Sure I can keep in touch with friends and family. Even if I walkaway from the active broadcast channels they use, I don't necessarily lose total contact with them. At least some of them.

But they are chatting & sharing in conversations that I will no longer see or be a part of. My walking away has a huge loss to me, is me walking away from gathering spots and places where others habutate. Trying to disregard that loss feels like a gambit I hear a lot from people who are regressive, who want us in a pre-social-media age & think we ought to all walk away. I do not think it's anywhere near that simple, and I think there's huge value that we have entered a connected era, that we do keep in some contact with people from such a wide range of our lives. The serendipity of interacting with someone we otherwise wouldn't, across sometimes such great time and space: that's so neat. I don't want to walk away from that. I want to improve it.

I know what argument you're trying to make, but I think it is disingenuous to pretend that WhatsApp is free while iMessage is not. As a practical matter neither is free, and both are free.
It sounds like you're in a bubble where only cartoon characters convey their opinions passionately. And there are people outside of your bubble that have a different opinion on something you do consider meaningful. At least on the topic 'what is meaningful' I think you will find many different opinions being held.

Great man theory describes a real phenomena, it just gets the causality backwards. With lots of people doing lots of things, some are bound to do exceptional things. People who believe they need strong leaders gravitate towards the noteworthy ones, making it more likely that someone who has done exceptional things end up with more power. The more power someone has the more noteworthy acts they are likely to engage in. Then let history forget all but the most noteworthy details, and you have a history defined by great men.
Not sure why downvoted, this is a reasonable question.

No, even a gigantic salt wouldn't help because the input data is too low entropy - only 10 digits that are 0-9. Salts are only helpful to prevent rainbow table attacks by making the size of the pre-computed output space too large to fit on a drive.

The salt has to be stored in plain text in order for the verifying algorithm to compute the hash of the input and compare it, so if you have the hash you also have the salt and can brute-force old school and crack all of them in short order.

It would be interesting to compare to training a NN to draft w/o the Mistral starting point (both by epoch and by $). It's not obvious to me why the LLM component would be relevant. Maybe there are enough deck lists or mock drafts on the internet to have an influence I suppose. Or maybe 'fine tune an llm' just has more infrastructure than 'create a nn'. Maybe we need a nnfiddle to make that easier.
It's so common it's practically a meme by now. Hollywood loves saying its customers are toxic sexists and racists. Sometimes they even explicitly say that people have a moral obligation to watch their movies. This article has a bunch of examples.

https://www.outkick.com/hollywoods-war-on-toxic-fans-makes-n...

The 2016 dud “Ghostbusters” may have unofficially been the first time a Hollywood product singled out “toxic” fans. The franchise reboot, which reportedly lost Sony $70 million, included a scene where the budding Ghostbusters attack their online trolls.

The director, Paul Feig, added the sequence to directly attack the film’s critics.

Running a service costs money.

That money has to come from somewhere.

Google makes that money by spying on people and using that for ads.

Apple makes that money by selling hardware.

You're saying that both companies should be required to provide the services they render, but apple's model of paying for it by selling hardware should be banned.

Also, go talk to someone who has bought a new car, and ask them how much their servicing costs. If they go to their manufacturer's service centers the regular services are free for the first few years, but if they go to an unrelated mechanic it costs money.
But the internet keeps saying the iPhone is just marketing. /s

That's making you do something immoral, not making you do anything.
Any anecdotes you can share? Also, I meant "make sure" in a negative way. As in you "make sure things are statistically significant" by e.g. p-hacking. Not that this isn't done in science but I think you're more in danger of being embarrassed during peer review than by the C-suite reading your executive summary...
>or presiding over widespread flouting of the law by other management. E.g. The Wells Fargo cross selling scandal created literally millions of fraudulent accounts, and nobody went to jail.

"presiding over widespread flouting of the law" isn't a crime though, and it's difficult to make that a crime without running into due process issues (eg. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mens_rea)
You’re thinking of a time when only “computer geeks” could install and run the software of their choice. When every office had fleets of IT admins to install the pre-approved applications people needed for their day-to-day.

Back then, learning how to manage your own PC and install software was tantamount to earning an IT certificate. Doing so for a few years in high school would be enough to qualify you for a career in IT.

So I politely disagree. The industry was never able to ship software that a non-technical person could install. Especially not B2B, but barely B2C as well.
If I'm reading the author's writeup correctly, the prompt he's giving the agent at each pick contains only the names of the cards in its pool so far, and only gives the full text for the cards in the pack it's being passed. It doesn't look like context is being maintained between picks, presumably for context window size reasons.

If so, and if he's correct in his assumption that these sets are out of the bot's training cutoff window, then surely it's purely coincidence if it ends up being a good drafter? The bot would have literally no way to know what cards work well with its previous picks, what signals have been sent and received in the draft so far, etc. Not even the best human player could take (for example, from the sample prompt) "Gadwick's First Duel -- {1}{U} (uncommon)" and figure out what works well with that (if they've never seen the card before).

It would just end up picking generically good draft cards that share a color with its previous picks. Which is already what pick-order-based heuristics have always done.

The trick with any sort of halfway controversial edits is to discuss at length your planned contribution on the talk page, wait until nobody complains, then make the actual edit. If you do get reverted, you can point out that you had announced the edit in the talk page and no objections had been raised. It helps to post on the message boards for relevant WikiProjects too.

Yes, Wikipedia policy pages say to be "bold" with editing, but that only really works for things like fixing typos. If you know that someone might object, you should focus on in-depth discussion and let concerns be addressed that way.
> Offering a low-paying CEO role means you'll attract lower quality CEOs

Maybe in the private sector.

> The best CEOs have personal incentive to take the highest paying jobs

It has to be said again: in the private sector.

Non-profit CEOs shouldn't expect to be compensated as well as their private sector counterparts. The feeling of doing good is part of the reward.
That is indeed important, so I take it back (can't edit original post now).

> it's impossible to wait or block an I/O request while at the same time also letting the other part of the code engage in other tasks

No, it's absolutely possible. You can ask the network stack, "do you have any new packets" and the stack can say "no" and you can go off and do work before coming back to ask "do you have any new packets" and the network stack says "yes" before your (still single-threaded) application reads those packets and does something with them.

> A sample is using a literal cut-and-paste of a section of another copyrighted work and re-selling it directly

"re-selling it directly" is not the usual case. The sample is just the extracted piece, while the practice called sampling is incorporating the piece into a new work [1]:

> In sound and music, sampling is the reuse of a portion (or sample) of a sound recording in another recording.

For example, hip hop is a genre which grew around sampling [1].

Sampling isn't necessarily fair use, but can be [1]. Reselling an extracted piece of a song almost certainly isn't fair use.

This increases the stakes that your destination charger is available too, right? I can see having a large range is good for anxiety, if and only if you keep it in reserve.

I.e. plan to charge with 50% or more remaining, and have a low probability option to skip a charge and drive to the next destination. Then, your plan has to adapt as you may have to stay there longer than intended to wait for this much larger charge deficit to be recovered.

If this large capacity battery didn't have charge speed limitations, perhaps the mitigation could be to take a detour to a fast charging station and then return to your planned route.
