I'm calm.

However.

What you're doing here is abhorrent.

Children weren't 'flung' anywhere. They were at home, or in refugee camps after being displaced four times, before being vaporized without warning. They were in premie beds, before being left to rot and be eaten by wild dogs. That happened. It's happening now.

Blaming Hamas for it is the mark of a seriously disturbed mind. There were no Hamas terrorists forcing the Israeli soldiers to march doctors out of the care room at gunpoint, that was something they chose to do. They chose to leave those babies behind, after promising the doctors they'd receive care. No evidence of Hamas leaders in bombed refugee camps was ever offered.

Israeli programmed AI has decided that 100 civilians per Hamas leader is acceptable. It isn't. It really, really isn't. It's completely insane to think that it is, and yet they say it with a straight face, calling anyone who argues a Jew hater. It's so, so dangerous.

> Many people seem to view every statement of Israel with suspicion

They have lied so, so often. The lies are tissue thin, as if daring people to question them. 40 beheaded babies? Pregnant women cut open? Babies in ovens? Hamas command center tunnels under every hospital? These lies are still being used to justify atrocities, and it's beyond sickening. The whole world is aghast.

Israel have called stone throwing children terrorists for decades, shooting them on a whim. Their response to a 13 year old being raped was to designate the investigating charity a terrorist organisation. They've called the UN, the BBC, the Guardian, the Ivy leagues, and anyone who criticized their war crimes in any way anti-semitic. Slogans of freedom - "from the river to the sea" have been framed as calls for genocide. They've co-ordinated smear campaigns against well-respected thought leaders for simply stating casualty figures.

Again - nothing good can possibly come from this. If you love Israel, or even like it a little, you should be horrified at what they are doing to themselves. This stain will never come out, never; and it keeps getting worse.

If you care for Jewish people, and Palestinians, the only sensible action is to demand an immediate ceasefire.
Do customer support for OpenAI, lol. https://community.openai.com/

Answer enough questions, stay active enough, and you'll see the same patterns emerge. You'll probably make a lot of mistakes. You'll be corrected by other regulars and people you try to help will send you angry messages saying your prompt didn't work when utilised in the industry. It's a good way to learn. As a little bonus, if you do it constantly enough, OpenAI will give you this little "Regular" rank with a secret forum and such.

Langchain feels a little outdated IMO. I feel like OpenAI's in built tools might be a little ahead of it. It was originally designed to handle memory on the old completion API, but since OpenAI's chat API was released, it's not as useful. There's still good reason to use their completion models though - it performs higher quality responses for some creative uses. Agents built on them don't seem very impressive and OpenAI has their own "assistants" for agent-like stuff: https://platform.openai.com/docs/assistants/how-it-works

It's Electron/TS based. I seriously doubt I can get used to using an Electron based beast for something as critical as a terminal.

This is the one power user app where speed is factually of utmost urgency, and latency is non negotiable. I also don't like it using tons of memory. While this may be possible with Electron from what I have heard, I have yet to have seen it. So generally I stay away.
Plenty compared to the set of airliner crashes, which is very small. There are also a lot of near misses that don’t turn into crashes precisely because of pilots being good at their jobs.

For AI to replace pilots, you don’t need to prove that sometimes humans fuck up. You need to demonstrate that AI would fuck up less often and in a more acceptable way. This requires looking at the big picture, not only bad cases.
This is the way - I just had chatgpt make me a personal use command line utility that just uses the API to mimic chatgpt with whatever model you pass in, saves the running chat as a text file, and gives you a running cost with every prompt. It took about an hour to get something I was happy with, but now I average about a buck a month on it (but I still use the free chatgpt/claude for simpler queries)

I'd expect science in this field to look more like economics than physics. You're probably not looking at lab results or anything, but at experiments already done "on the field" with controlled variables. Like an economist assessing minimum wage laws might compare employment in two neighbouring states over a period of time.
What I said is plainly true.
There does seem to be quite the inconsistency here. I feel like the truth lies somewhere near the truth of the no wants to work mantra which may simply be a refusal to raise wages.

I wonder if the so called knowledge half life exists because everyone is working in very niche, specialized area these days. Those skills are simply less transferable to even similar jobs in the same field.
I thought we all were dog people. Woof.
It feels like it's for developers using VSCode, who are not comfortable with a terminal. It is likely meant to be easy-to-use with a mouse-friendly user interface and lots of built-in functionalities.
>The question asking if DEI is lowering standards is bunk

>The FAA does not lower standards for ATCS.

What's your take on this then?

>The hiring process for aspiring federal air traffic controllers from approved Air Traffic Collegiate Training Initiative (AT-CTI) institutions has undergone several revisions in recent years. Prior to 2014, graduates from AT-CTI programs were given preferential hiring from the FAA. In 2014, the FAA announced that AT-CTI graduates would equally compete with thousands of people the FAA calls “off the street hires”--anyone can literally walk in off the street without any previous training and apply for a federal air traffic control job. To apply, the FAA requires that a candidate has United States (U.S.) citizenship, a high school diploma, speaks English, and passes the FAA’s new Biographical Questionnaire (BQ).

>Another concerning perspective from AT-CTI administrators is that CTI graduates are at an employment disadvantage with the new hiring initiatives. One of the responding administrators expressed concern that off the street applicants have increased odds of employment over CTI applicants because CTI students are combined in track one with Veteran’s Readjustment Appointment (VRA) applicants putting CTI students second while all off the street applicants are grouped as one and have an equal opportunity for selection.

>The new FAA hiring protocol for federal air traffic controllers that was implemented in February 2014 included several significant changes. In particular, the FAA reduced the role of the CTI-approved program; therefore, the only remaining advantage for CTI graduates is that they are eligible to bypass the Air Traffic Basics Course, which is the first five weeks of qualification training at the FAA Academy in Oklahoma City (FAA, 2018). In addition, the FAA introduced the Biographical Questionnaire which was envisioned to predict controller performance through a process of asking individuals to recall their typical and/or specific behaviors from earlier times in their lives. But due to the lengthy process of hiring and training an air traffic controller which can take several years, it is too soon to conclude whether the FAA’s new hiring policies improved the ability to hire individuals who are more likely to successfully become federal controllers (FAA, 2017b).

https://ojs.library.okstate.edu/osu/index.php/CARI/article/v...

This publication specifically questions whether the new hiring process selects more qualified individuals than the old hiring policies. It also seems to corroborate some of the claims made in the Wall Street Journal article:

What is the Twitter post for? I'm assuming this was not you "disclosing" it to them, but it's basically some kind of advertisement for yourself? You did contact them via a proper, private channel to disclose and make sure they fixed it before the Twitter post, correct?
Nobody cares about your CMS, online shop, code collaboration tool, etc.

If your software however makes life-altering decisions for its users - such as targeting people for investigation, deciding on asylum requests, etc. - then you have to be responsible for the decisions your software makes. You can't hide behind "I don't know how the AI works, but it decided that person X is likely a criminal" - nope, you need to be able to explain the reasoning process behind this, because the system is your responsibility.
As a counterpoint, it is impossible to discuss this topic without coming to some definition of "mastering" a tech stack. The concept itself seems suspicious. That is like saying "I mastered fashion". What, exactly, does it mean to master something that is in constant flux? How do we differentiate between a master and someone who read the documentation a few weeks ago?

It is a mug's game trying to master a tech stack anyway. The clever thing to do is master problem domains. Then if you encounter the problem you can just solve it using old tools and be happy.

I'm not a developer, but I trust the author of ublock Origin a lot more than I trust Mozilla.

Mozilla routinely fails its users and spends a lot of money on downright bad ideas. They are a pinnacle of intransparency and most of their press releases are written in Newspeak, far worse than Google, ironically.

In this very thread we have a discussion about Mozilla putting the boot on its formerly open extension ecosystem.

So it is an odd idea that the manufacturer of the browser (Google, Apple, Microsoft, or Mozilla) should have a say in how much I can trust my content blocker.

The last group of stakeholders I would want involved in decisions about my content blocker is the ad-funded tech industry.

Thank you for adding Trippy to your list.

> how did you accomplish all the package managers?

In most cases I didn't do anything! I've discovered that there are many kind souls out there who are willing to give up their free time to package and maintain 3rd party applications for a variety of systems they wish to support. It's tedious and, I suspect, usually thankless work. I am very grateful to all of those who have helped with this for Trippy.
There's something to be said for having a deep familiarity with a language. In terms of just churning out basic tasks like churning out CRUD endpoints it maybe doesn't matter so much, but it's both a force multiplier for productivity and an enabler of building something altogether less trivial.

Arguably a lot of the ways modern software sucks is a direct consequence of developers not understanding the tools and languages they're using. It's a bakery that bakes bread by scraping the toppings off frozen pizza.

You do miss something, that's 4 megabytes, plus any header/format overhead - but you'd get similar performance out of any uncompressed format, that's just the tradeoff.

Various vertical completion frameworks like vertico are essentially front-end UIs. You can choose underlying filtering and sorting/scoring algorithm by setting `completion-styles` variable. One popular choice here is the orderless package (which probably doesn't give "fuzzy" completion experience as most people call it I guess, orderless-flex does filtering but not heuristic based sorting like fzf does).

There are some options outlined in the readme of fussy[1], which is a wrapper around them. There are some pure elisp ones, and some written in native languages (including fzf itself) interfaced with dynamic module (so FFI rather than subprocess). Does that qualify as Emacs level?

Here are some things I tell young professors:

1. The students are not like you. For you, the topic is fascinating, and something you've pondered for much of your adult life. For the average student, the topic is moderately interesting, and likely quite confusing, in the first exposure that is this class.

2. Teach to the middle of the class. Be aware that the weakest students will be perplexed much of the time, and the strongest will be bored. This range is hard for you to comprehend, given your path. Note that the range is not something you can alter. It is established by the university Registrar, not by you and also not by the students.

3. Expose the students to your enthusiasm for the material. Be direct, and be personal. "The next topic is" will not motivate students as much as "Now we ready for the exciting part" or "This next bit is what I like best about this topic", etc.

4. Make the decision to enjoy your time with the students.
If you're translating vectors 10 times, or calculating cosines, or whatever, then yes, you should abstract this into separate functions. It's not like "translateVector" or "calculateCosine" are brittle abstractions or anything.
> I’ve heard that ER doctors have been experiencing this in recent years–not quite with automation so much as just offloading, as less serious cases are picked up by nurse practitioners/urgent care centers, staffing has been adjusted and the actual physicians wind up with a steady stream of stressful high-acuity cases back to back to back.

Yet at the same time, ERs (near me at least) are still inundated with so many patients that average wait times are 4-5hrs.
Engine 1 was continuing to operate after landing because the fuel shutoff valves were inoperative. Engine 2 was the engine that had the uncontained failure.
Some angles for me to see this phenomenon

- focus on the fundamentals rather than the particular brand of tools. HTTP, tcp, HTML, OS, CPU, filesystem, etc will almost certainly out last a language, framework and SaaS

- See beyond the assumptions. Solutions are based on assumptions of current problem. Solutions come and go but the fundamental problem of, for example, go from a place to another, rarely change. Try to distill THE problem.

- focus on outcome rather than action. Ask ourselves why such and such actions matter. Do we know why are we implementing a thing, or if a thing we implemented 6 months ago matter at all.

All of these demands consideration beyond do you know "dewalts" or "bosch"
Ask HN: How to inform YouTube a video is no longer under copyright?
I was importing this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IADZtE2-Aws into my youtube account, famous tracking shot from Wings 1927, and at the copyright determination step Youtube told me it was under copyright but the owner allows it to be shown on Youtube.

Which is incorrect - it entered public domain in 2023.

Makes me wonder if there is some metadata in this file that is newer than the film and that is what is copyrighted, or is it that the copyright was claimed on years past and Youtube neglected to check when that claim was going to run out?

How does one let them know that the copyright has run out?

Outgoing, which I believe this would be, is generally far less restrictive than incoming.

I'm playing around with IP address level detecting and blocking using incoming ports as indicators. I'm going to set aside some time to think more about restrictions on outgoing ports as a result of this and your comment.

Do some logging of frequently used remote ports over a couple of weeks and create a baseline set of allowed ports, block everything else and see what breaks.

I already use the limited Feodo Tracker[0] lists to flag in my firewall logs whether any device on the network has attempted to contact a known C&C IP address.

Thanks for push.

They have been working on automated ATC for a lot longer than 20 years. I worked at Eurocontrol 1991-1996 where they had been developing a system called ARC2000 since well before I arrived. As the name suggests it was intended to take over ATC in Europe by the year 2000. I worked on a less ambitious system that helped visualise conflicts for manual resolution but that was not a big priority so I eventually left.
> what if a company like Tesla wants to dictate 60 hour work weeks for all it's engineers. But that goes against Union Law,

Which is exactly why the choice to handle the labor market under contract law has been made.

If Tesla wants to dictate 60 hour work weeks for engineers, they negotiate a new contract with the relevant union. That's why engineers have their own union, to gain the flexibility to negotiate contracts localized for specific sectors and part of the workforce.

Now 60 hours a week is a lot. That's not good example since it so extreme there is likely no legislative room for that. It is 12 hours a day and society would simply not be prepared with daycare and other amenities. Even if it was legal it would not be good for families and cause increased healthcare costs. Maybe you could argue for some sort of nanny system but nobody pines for the 19th century bourgeoisie anymore. Too much is known from that era.

> Forcing Tesla on a blanket union contract instead specific clauses and prescriptions

Yes, this is exactly why Telsa needs to negotiate a contract.

You seem to advocate for the model which exactly what is already used. Tesla needs to negotiate a specific contract for them, instead of relying on blanket labor law.

There is no legislation that requires this, which is the case in for example neighboring Finland. This is to accommodate for smaller businesses where contract negotiation is an unnecessary burden. There are pros and cons with both models, but it is important to realize how this is different from for example the German model.

The choice has been made and the labor market is handled with contract law. You can argue that that is a bad idea and Sweden needs to adopt the French or American labor market model instead. That's would be intellectually honest. You could also argue that there should be stronger laws against operating without labor contracts, like in Finland. Which is also fine.

But you can't argue that Tesla should be allowed to operate without a specific contract, when the circumstances clearly demand one. That's at best a misunderstanding and at worst just dishonest.
