Have you tried the "enteric coated" aspirin? The coating is supposed to resist dissolving until the pill is well past your stomach.
It's kind of the same idea, right? The more stuff there is to bounce off of, the faster it will slow down, the smaller the net distance it will travel, the increased chance it will thermalize, and less likely it is to escape. I could be missing a lot of nuance there as it's been almost 20 years since I went to naval nuclear power school. I'm definitely not the one to ask about the specifics!

I think these smaller models really struggle with the reasoning aspect of writing decent code, I'm getting pretty nonsensical things out when asking it to fix fizzbuzz (though it made the right fix), like:

- Replaced "i % 2 === 0" with "i % 3 === 0", because a number is divisible by 2 only if it's divisible by 3.

Tell HN: 23andme Updated ToS After Breach to Prevent Class Actions
Received this "friendly reminder" that 23andme has new terms of service, specifically:

> THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CONTAIN A MANDATORY ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES PROVISION THAT REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS. VIEW THESE TERMS HERE.

Does this shield them from upcoming data breach charges? Does 23andme data constitute PHI?
The critical difference here is this is being attempted by the guy who was kind of behind PayPal, Tesla and Spacex.

It's interesting to watch how people constantly invent new ways to re-introduce legal concepts that we threw out when we invented liberalism. For example, we got rid of sumptuary laws, which restrict the consumption habits of the lower classes, but now we're bringing them back under the principle of being environmentally friendly.
They have a section on "thirteenth stepping" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcoholics_Anonymous#Criticism
I just want to say, it's remarkable how intuitive this is, and just how well it matches our own recognition process.

It's more-or-less identifying melody fragments*, and then just trying to match those up in a sequence. The same way we'll recognize something after 5 or 7 or 10 notes.

I'm pretty sure I've read about other methods for song fingerprinting that rely on things like loudness peaks, where it might work equally well, but that doesn't match how our own brains do it at all. It's pretty cool that this isn't relying on "artifacts" but basically works the same way we do.

Does YouTube show ads in the embedded player? Wouldn't it be easy to make an extension where you can click a button in YouTube when an ad pops up, and it moves the video into an embedded player on a localhost domain? (Or even the extension's local chrome-extension:// domain)

I guess YouTube could always block that domain from embedding videos, but if the extension allowed the user to set a custom domain from /etc/hosts, I'm not sure Google could stop it unless they forbid embedding on hosts that resolve to loopback address.

Thankfully you can fix that by following the share link yourself, which will redirect to a full URL to that video, which you can then strip the tracking parameter from.

No matter how many times you feed the output of an LLM back to itself, the underlying model does not change. Online training (of actual model weights not just fine-tuning) would be hugely resource intensive and not guaranteed to do any better than the initial training. Interference will happen whether catastrophic or simply drift. We can fantasize about future architectures all day long, but that doesn't make them capable of AGI or even give us a path forward.
I think Nodejs gets various things right. I really like the effectiveness of the Nodejs event loop and libuv.

Async programming can create a mess with callbacks but the experience in Nodejs can sometimes be positive with promises or generators.

I just would like it to be multithreaded with low contention between threads rather than starting an entire process.

It's why I'm experimenting with ringbuffers and barriers and alternative async syntax.

Look, the burden of proof in a scientific paper is on the authors. Not on me.

A company with a proprietary product that says something is not acceptable evidence in a scientific context. No need to allege that anyone is lying. Lying is irrelevant. What's relevant is that the research is falsifiable. It cannot be falsifiable if you don't know what the actual model is at a given point in time.

Nah, I didn't take it that way. I know you were talking about the network as a whole, not me in particular. I was just using myself as an example.

I still see the spectrum like:

(far left nuts) (left) (middle) (right) (far right nuts + poor behavior)

I far the far left opinions as annoying as the far right. I disagree with both of those extremes. However, in general, the far left tends to be annoying but reasonably well behaved and self-policing. We've had many more mod reports about far left individuals than far left servers. On the far right, it's more common to get a whole cluster of misbehaving idiots in one poorly moderated place, resulting in an entire instance getting blocked.

In my opinion, based on my experiences in the Fediverse, if the network as a whole is shifted to the left, it's because the far right is more likely to get itself kicked out because of their behavior. It's like taking a Gaussian curve and lopping off 2 stddevs above the mean; the new mean is farther to the left, but only because it lacks the pull from the extreme right.
Were the illustrations AI generated I wonder? They look very interesting and abstract, but still made to fit the narrative.

Glassdoor numbers will be gross of income tax, but not include employer social security contributions, which is 31.24% on top of what you see as listed gross salaries. That is his point.

Don't forget if you're doing back-of-the-envelope stuff that there is also 20.6% corporate tax on revenue that has originated in Sweden. And companies resident in Sweden are taxed on their worldwide income, although if they are taxed elsewhere then this elsewhere amount can be deducted. But this means you are paying at least that amount. I imagine some chunk of Spotify's workforce exists to optimise and figure out all of that, given the number of legislatures and tax environments they have subscribers in.

There’s certainly merit in learning the mathematical foundations of SQL, like relational algebra.

Beginning with SQL syntax allows students to quickly create something tangible, which can be incredibly gratifying and motivating.

It’s a bit like learning to play music; while music theory is important, there's something to be said for picking up an instrument and playing a few notes to spark a passion.

The intricacies of relational algebra can be woven into the curriculum once students have a handle on the basics and can appreciate the deeper structures at play.

Combating Loneliness in the Digital Age: Can New Social Platforms Help?
Hello Hacker News community,

I've spent a considerable amount of time grappling with a pervasive issue in our tech-centric society: the growing sense of loneliness and social isolation, particularly among younger adults. It's a paradox of our times – we're more connected online than ever before, yet many of us feel increasingly isolated.

The problem is more pronounced than we might realize. A 2020 study by Cigna threw up some alarming statistics: a significant portion of the population reports feeling a deep sense of loneliness. This isn't just about the quantity of interactions; it's the quality that's missing. Traditional social media, despite its potential to connect us, often ends up fostering a cycle of passive engagement, where meaningful interactions are few and far between something I experienced firsthand as a 20-year-old.

As a response to this challenge, I developed an app called Commune (getcommune.com). My goal was to create a platform that could counteract the superficial nature of typical social media interactions. Commune is designed to encourage real-life, face-to-face interactions through local events and interest-based communities. It's an attempt to merge the convenience of digital connectivity with the authenticity of in-person communication.

I'm sharing this here because I value the insightful discussions this community offers and I’m eager to hear your thoughts. Do you think an app like Commune can provide a meaningful solution to the loneliness epidemic? Is it possible for digital platforms to foster genuine connections and community building, or is this just an idealistic notion?

I’d love to hear your perspectives, especially if you’ve encountered similar challenges or have experiences with platforms attempting to bridge this digital-personal divide.

Looking forward to an engaging discussion!

> That choice would prioritize one person, or at most a few, over those in vehicles having the same desire.

I disagree.

The flow of cars is (roughly) continuous, and the button presses are (roughly) randomly timed. Adding a delay to the button does not affect the experience of the cars. They still see a randomly timed red light. Even if there was an hour-long delay (with multiple pushes in flight), that wouldn't prioritize cars in any meaningful way. They'd still see the light change every 2-10 minutes or whatever it is, and whether they are caught by the light will still be random.

So it might as well change right away.
> I honestly don't see how Mozilla are at fault here

Well, yeah, AFAICT no one has bothered to do an FOIA request and get even the publicly-disclosable part of the complaint and publish it, so no one really knows anything.

> regardless of their practices of hiring people with Unions

Since there are specific legal protections for that, if they do what is proven (to the civil preponderance of the evidence standard) to be discriminating against people with an organizing background, they absolutely are legally at fault.

> I'm not sure they can be forced to hire someone who on a qualification level is fine but who might not be a fit for the companies morals.

If the "morals" in question are about things which are activities legally protected from hiring discrimination, they absolutely can be. This isn't even a little bit unclear,
thank you so much for the response. one more q if you dont mind: on the "how its made" show they show how the fuel comes from ore, to yellow cake, to pellets in zircon rods, to collections of rods in an assembly.

This is completely safe (compared to spent fuel), but how do you get the reaction started? do you have to "light" it with a neutron source when you're ready to use the fuel for the first time? or do you "light" it with radioactivity from existing fuel? or a neutron reflector?

In How-it's-made they didn't say anything like "the fuel assemblies are shipped to power plants with graphite moderators to prevent unwanted reactions during transit", so obviously there's no danger of an unwanted reaction outside of a reactor. So what kicks it off?
People will leave Youtube once enough bullshit piles on. There is a point. The question is, will Google push it and trigger an exodus? I'm not sitting through ads to watch stuff. I'd rather not watch things at all than watch ads.

Peer to peer networks are still around. Vimeo still exists. Pretty sure DailyMotion and friends also still exist.

PeerTube and other stuff are making it easier for video communities to support themselves.

Eventually the only thing Youtube will be good for is supporting influencers and whatever mainstream media BS is going on.
Fun story time!

Boise State University, and the University of Idaho are two schools at opposite ends of the state of Idaho. UIdaho in the north is close to Spokane, and almost all of its connectivity comes from Seattle. Boise is closer to Salt Lake so most of its connectivity comes via Portland or Salt Lake City. The middle of the state between the two schools is mountains and very, very little large scale connectivity at all, except there was a small line way bad in the day because the UofIdaho had remote classrooms in the southern part of the state. Sometime in the late 90's a network engineer from BSU and one from UofI realized that they both had switches and routing kit in the same building so they ran an ethernet cable between them.

The effect was catastrophic. It turns out that both networks happily started announcing BPG to each other, which in turn announced the connection to the internet as a whole. Suddenly there was a very short jump between networks in Seattle and networks in Salt Lake City. That poor little t1 (iirc) was absolutely getting saturated. But, interestingly only in one direction. See Boise announced the route, but Idaho didn't so the traffic was effectively only failing in one direction.

Needless to say the cable as disconnected and years later when I worked at the UofIdaho it was still well known that the two networks shouldn't ever be connected again! (Which was ironic because I was working on a program to setup I2 at both universities)

My counter-point to this is that babies are born with a sort of basic pre-trained LLM. Humans are born with our analogical weights & biases in our brains partly optimized to learn language, math, etc. Before pre-training an LLM, the weights & biases of their analogical brain are initialized with random values. Training on the internet can IMO be seen as a kind of "pre-training"

I mean, no matter what your walls are made of, you have to physically cut a hole for the switch or outlet to sit in.

Then it becomes buying a whole new wall panel instead of just patching the drywall.

Beyond that, you have the problem of insulation. If your wall isn't a contiguous piece of plaster, it will leak air. Then you have to contend with your insulation material releasing fiberglass fragments or whatever into the room. You also have to deal with some way of fixturing the wall panels to the support structure, or they'll all rattle any time you open a door. You also have to just hope that someone is still making the exact same panels decades after the fact. Most rework is done in houses that are several decades old. I don't think that many building materials suppliers that built my house in the 1920s still exist.

Any sort of modular system will always be more expensive than drywall and plaster. If you want to address all of the problems and make it as good as drywall, no one could afford it.

The electrical system is just as integral to the structure as plumbing or ventilation is. You are not going to be replacing things often, and the effort of patching drywall every decade or so is not that much. If, for some reason, you want to move your outlets every six months, we already have solutions for that. You can put conduit and boxes on the outside of the wall.

All in all, it's an awful lot of trouble and expense to make it very slightly easier to do work you only do every decade or so.
