It's sad and infuriating that in the United States, you can point out blatantly dangerous infrastructure and fight for safety improvements, and it won't make any difference until someone actually goes out and exploits the bad infrastructure to murder cyclists and pedestrians. Then suddenly you can get the bollards, but only in the place where the murderer killed people: NYC still has tons and tons and tons of unprotected bike lanes, but at least no one will ever again be able to murder people with their car in that specific part of the Hudson River Greenway.
No offense taken. Unlike my childhood where I used to navigate via webrings and questionable search engines, these days I rarely visit anything but HN links. So I haven't had much of a need for an ad blocker.

Occasionally I'm surprised links like these get to the front page, even with all the ads and horrible UX. I must admit, I too wanted to believe so badly we can communicate with whales, that I managed to scroll down to see the first paragraph below the fold. But quickly closed it shortly after to read the HN comments.
This was my next assumption as well however, good luck with getting a src tree working with it. I'm dying to try some of this stuff but I don't have GPU farms available.

This looks like an interesting language. It tries to address many shortcomings in old lisp by introducing new semantics and new syntax. It looks like a pragmatic language aiming to get out of the programmers’ way and let them focus on solving problems.
I think he means the attempts to prevent people from doing it privately without distribution.
Wasn't the accepted model that formation of these happens only in supernova events?
Since the collective probability of rare, but expensive health issues is basically 100%, I would describe it less as insurance and more as wealth redistribution. Hence the (typical) requirement to purchase insurance and lack of ability to price it based on risk.

Of course, insurance and taxation can be viewed as similar things anyway, but it is different from things like term life insurance or motor vehicle insurance or home owners insurance.
Not really, if you sell someone a fake map and pass it off as authentic... you could be liable of fraud. The problem isn't that people are being "undressed" it's that the images are circulated as authentic in order to harm people.
> I can only imagine what kind of cluster is putting the bike lane into the center.

Meh. It's basically an island between the lanes, which is common enough.

I do think fully separated bike lanes on the sides would be better from a safety and ease of use perspective, but that's a lot more work, and it looks like the businesses complained about the idea of removing their parklet option: a fully separated bike lane would be on an inside edge of the parking spots, pushing them much further from the shops.
> the ones who actually pay for such infrastructure

Motor vehicle user fees pay for less than half of the road infrastructure.

Everyone is paying for the roads through property taxes. (Even if indirectly through rent.)

Many people with a bicycle also have a car.

Cars require significantly more space than bicycles, cause more road wear, and car crashes tend to require more from emergency services than bike crashes, so any fees for bikes should be scaled appropriately - and remember that those without a motor vehicle are already contributing to road infrastructure.

Motor vehicle traffic isn't a fixed value. If it's harder to drive somewhere, fewer people will drive. Sometimes removing traffic lanes increases traffic capacity. https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2019/4/18/mr-go
1.5M$ sounds like a lot but in SF it's probably close to the cost of a single subsidized rental unit vs making Valencia more (or less) bike friendly.
> Haven’t numerous studies shown that they reduce sti risk

Yes, but mostly for heterosexual men. And a large number of studies show that there is no association with sti risks for most common STIs. And some meta studies show that there's probably not a strong enough reason to justify circumcision.

The relatively small number of HIV infections you prevent in the West [0] is probably not a justifiable reason to encourage circumcision, especially when there are other ways to prevent infection.

[0] 22% of infection among heterosexual individuals through intercourse, which is very heavily biased towards women—it ends up being only a few percent of total infections, and the reduced risk would only prevent maybe half of those. We're talking about a maximum of a few hundred infections in the US per year.
why not just wear googly eyes?
It's mostly about scale, but there are many issues tbh

- Enables significant increase in surveillance

- Enables highly specific targeted action (i.e. micro-targeted advertising, but not necessarily ads)

- Enables said action to be performed at high speeds with low latency and for cheap.

- Obfuscates decision making processes making it harder to point to who is doing wrong and even how they are doing wrong (because burden of proof is on those being wronged. More black box = more better)

- Enables easier deflection and laziness as one can say it is just math and pretend that math is objective and not subject to usage. You can deflect claims of targeting specific groups because you do not use a variable explicitly defining those groups but you use some or all of the strongly correlating variables.

There's plenty more here too. Of course this isn't all even necessary. I do work in ML and I do have a passion for it. These tools can be great and do a lot to make human lives better. I really do think with them we are capable of doing amazing feats such as reaching a mostly post-scarce society within our lifetimes. You could have them grow the food, pick the food, transport the food, stock the shelves, be the cashiers, and even transport the people (or products) to their desired locations. We could liberate most humans of most labor. That is on the horizon. But even such an amazing outcome which would allow humans to be more human than they've ever had the ability to be in all of history -- allowing them to pursue arts, sciences, community development, and all sorts of things without needing to worry about sustaining one's survival via one's labor. The transition to this post scarce world is not just technological challenges as those jobs won't be homogeneously displaced and as we must adapt to this post world. But I'm sure everyone would absolutely love robot butlers (that are non-sentient. Sentient machines shouldn't be forced laborers, but that's a whole other conversation because sentience isn't required for this. Narrow AI can do many of these already at high competency levels). So even the purely good side is still treacherous.

I'm just saying, we need to think deep and carefully. The nuance is not just digging in the weeds, it is the critical aspect. Ignoring it isn't "good enough" when ignoring the details is what specifically leads to trouble. But it's common to hear that these are claims of pedanticism.

Nicki Minaj fans using AI to generate "gag city" fan art
The point isn't that it wasn't possible before, it's that it's 100x faster, easier, and cheaper to fake nudes now than it was previously. I think the reason for why claims of leaked nudes being fake are scoffed at is because making 100% believable fakes takes non-negligible time and effort, and maybe even money. Now, it's just "upload clothes-on image, download clothes-off image 20 seconds later". I think it's not insane to expect this huge shift in accessibility to eventually cause social changes — in the same way that asking for someone's Instagram is normal now, despite Instagram being a relatively new invention, I think it's pretty obvious that a few years from now, nude photos will be assumed by default to be fake rather than real. The social standards are a product of reality, they don't determine reality.
That ad was a joke, admitted by it's author.

That said, this defense would not save you for a bunch of reasons.
Without having to take any sides, just the surprising importance of culture wars on social media could be interesting. The societal effects of social media are regularly discussed here.

This particular issue has become so emotional that careers and relationships were ruined just by taking the wrong side. Because of that, I imagine most HN folks rationally steer clear of any public discussion.
People with sickle cell already cost the taxpayer a lot of money over their lifetimes. I wouldn’t be surprised if it cost more than this treatment.

A Quick Guide to Partial Evaluation
It's a very tricky thing to study. Maybe you could look at people who were circumcised then immediately adopted? Maybe twin studies?

I think this connection is so far-reaching that you could never truly resolve the confounding variables.

Frankly, I don't really care about the results anyway! As you neatly put it, we already know that infant circumcision is barbaric. That's enough!
When something like this becomes commonplace will society just sort of get over it. Fake nudes are fake. They only have power because of perceived taboo over the real thing.
>and another which results in reduced glucose and fructose content in the potato,

That's pretty amazing. Imagine if we can change apples to produce Aspartame instead of sugars!
Sure. Some memoirs state this in the foreword. There are also memoirs that are "fictionalized", like James Frey's book "A Million Little Pieces." Originally published as a memoir in 2003, it was later revealed that many of the events Frey described were exaggerated or fabricated. This caused a lot of controversy at the time, but many subsequent memoirs followed this pattern and I think it's become quite accepted in the genre.
they are like.. flexy bollards? cars can run over them no problem
My uneducated hunch is that we’re just a few years away from “proof search” being a solved problem. But that’s only a part of mathematical research.
Last I checked, the NNT was quite high. One hundred circumcisions prevents one (1) urinary tract infection. Meanwhile, in the United States, the procedure ends in death, one way or another, roughly 117 times per annum.
Yup, I also like how you call out "get it in-front of customers" as a step in the whole chain. Often sorely missed. Sometimes a bug to you, is a feature to them (gasp!)... so either make it a first class thing or train them on the correct path (while you fix the "bug").
Ah good catch. Upon even closer examination, the attention layer (~2B params) is shared across experts. So in theory you would need 2B for the attention head + 5B for each of two experts in RAM.

That's a total of 12B, meaning this should be able to be run on the same hardware as 13B models with some loading time between generations.
I immediately thought of this line from my favorite episode of Everybody Love Raymond. Ray's dad says: "Didn't I teach you anything, you gotta problem with your woman you don't go out and get another one. Then you got two problems."

That episode aired in 2001. I wonder if the NAT quote is inspired by that?

One of the many arguments for using pubkeys so that's all they'll get. Neverthless, the rest of the session could still be anything, and agent forwarding should never be used for untrusted hosts.

I'm a 20+ year Windows sysadmin and I don't buy it. If you'd said "Active Directory and DNS go hand-in-hand" I'd agree-- the coupling there is pretty tight (and it's a pain-in-the-ass to run Active Directory with non-Microsoft DNS servers being authoritative for the AD domain name). DHCP is a lot less tightly coupled.
This is stickier than that in the US. I can paint a realistic nude and it's expression. Whether my tool is a paintbrush or neural network, as far as I know right now, makes no difference.

But it can be as low at 16%, for example the Audi e-tron.

Also, battery tech is improving many times faster than gasoline tech so EVs will likely have less range loss in winter than ICEVs within 10 years.

Humm no... It's just risk amortization...
Very shortly you don't need to distribute the "nude" image though. The reference images just needs to be public with a one click way to get the tranformed result.

If we really shorten that, it could all fit into an url with a parameter pointing to the original, and nobody's distributing a specific image, they're all privately generated.

Thank You for helping with the effort, even if it was only "a very little."

I love coming across comments like yours on HN.
For a product supposedly being pushed by a bunch of rationalists, nothing about this drug or the underlying story is actually rational if you know anything about how the FDA approval process works.

The approval process supposedly required an impossible ask. Oddly enough, I could find no record of this impossible ask anywhere except in this company's website or on other "rationalist" websites, all of whom cite this company as the sole source.

And in fact...this impossible ask doesn't actually take into account how the FDA approval process works...or has ever worked...

It's the kind of story someone make ups when they're trying to explain why their miracle invention failed.

(And note that oral probiotics have been approved by the FDA for human use for several decades, including back when this supposed miracle bacteria was discovered. And Japan and Europe have much more lenient standards, now and then, for oral treatments and yet no attempt was made to launch the product there. And China and much of South East Asia don't even bother regulating this type of product, so why wasn't this launched in Asia? Why is the only market they're launching this product in a jurisdiction in which "biohacking" products are completely exempted from regulationo)

Nothing about this product adds up, and it bares multiple hallmarks of being a scam. (See the currently top-ranked comment on this post.)
I'm surprised how many people here don't use an ad blocker...
They've also stopped closing down every other block regularly and a bunch of other stuff that were actual wins from the pandemic. I'm as confused about that as anyone else but it's true that parklets were a big driver for the center lane design.

>parklets opened on Valencia for outdoor dining and people loved them!

Patrons of specific dining establishments sure, but they objectively inhibit transportation even more than parking spots do. This is painfully straightforward. Optimizing for wealthy people that frequently dine out is a expert way to undermine the collective interests of people who actually live in the city and those neighborhoods. Gentrification 101.

No other search engine will be able to compete with Google in the short or medium term on business reviews and opening hours, because the business owners send their information and opening hours themselves to Google, and they have billions of Google Maps users to write reviews. There's nothing Kagi can do to compete, at best they should start purchasing this stuff from Google and integrate it. Or we as users have to learn to open Kagi for web searches and Google Maps for local business searches. That's the easiest way.

Denialism manifests in many ways, and your comment serves as an example.

It's easy for people to falsely reassure themselves that it's safe to follow capital's "back to normal" messaging, especially since it's instinctively what everybody wants to do and by most counts are doing in 2023.

But the recommendations of that subreddit are in line with the most recent scientific consensus among epidemiologists and other relevant subfields. Blindly write these findings off as "anxiety disorders" at your own peril.

> Could brain fog and acquired ADHD effectively be the same condition?

No. long covid "Brain fog" is clearly caused by the SARS-CoV-2 pathogen. Acquired ADHD has a much broader umbrella of brain injury, infections, environmental factors, and medical history.

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3... suggests that various symptoms included in the definition of long covid "brain fog" can be improved by balancing the gut microbiome. The gut is where we produce 90% of serotonin.

So another way to think of this might be "could long covid lead to conditions common of gut dysbiosis?" your answer is what we are seeing in research:

- Depression.

- Anxiety.

- Alzheimer's disease.

- Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

- Autism.

- Bipolar disorder.

- Dementia.

- Obsessive-compulsive disorder.

- Post-traumatic stress disorder.

- Schizophrenia.

If it was just that (in the US), then there would be no need to prevent insurers from pricing based on health of the insured. Or legislating a 3x cap on premiums between highest and lowest premium. Or legislating out of pocket maximums.

The premiums are very explicitly a subsidy from young to old, which I view as a tax by a different name. Except instead of it being based on one’s income/wealth, it is based on age.
