Nah, that's a load of horsecrap. In a modern "democratic" society you can praise staunch leftist ideas (Chomsky, Naomi Klein, Tariq Ali) or very right ones (Ayn Rand, Roger Scruton, Milton Friedman) and be respected.

Oh, I thought that was going to be about Google's takeover of USENET.
I hear you and appreciate your comment. Here are some thoughts that come up in response.

HN's position on this (i.e., re political content on the site) has been stable for years now, hasn't destroyed HN yet, and IMO probably won't. Certainly we'll do all we can to avoid that. If you or anyone wants to know how we think about it, there are lots of past explanations at https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so....
Most questions that people have about HN+politics are answered there; if a question isn't answered there, I'd like to know what it is. A couple of starting points might be https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21607844 (Nov 2019) or https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22902490 (April 2020).

I go back and forth on the killfile idea but my gut feeling is that it's not in HN's interest. For better or worse, it's in HN's DNA that we're all in one big room together. The site isn't sharded into silos the way others are. Here's a thing I wrote about that a few years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23308098.

Decisions like this—e.g. about to what degree to allow political content, or whether to introduce block lists / killfiles—are risky because it's easy to see what's bad about the status quo (e.g. political flamewars are awful, having to see awful comments is awful), but much harder to see what's good about it and what one would lose by dropping that.

You're right about the downside of allowing a thread like this. It's painful and awful (to me too). And you're right that there are other places for people to talk about this. But what does it do to us as a community if we don't touch it at all? That's the question I'm sitting with. HN can't be the community it ought to be if all we do is disconnect from painful and divisive things; we become a lesser version of ourselves if we do that. (I wrote a bit more about this here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38658881.)

That does not mean we're going to let HN burn up with flamewars about this topic or any other. It needs to be carefully regulated (in the sense of calibrating, not ruling over), and we'll do our best. For example that's why I didn't turn off the flags on a different post last night (more at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38657527).
He was good with "Borders", after that no so much. His "documentation" on the Soccer World Cup worker was, well, a repetition of what other journalista already reported on, with less detail and depth but sold in way to make it look like he was the oloy one uncovering it and risking his life doing so.

So no, not a fan neither.
A big part of the reason is that the 5th Amendment actually says something substantially narrower than your paraphrase. It actually says that no person "shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself."

So there's a common argument that the 5th amendment only protects you against being forced to give evidentiary testimony against yourself. Giving up a passcode is arguably different, since the passcode is not (necessarily) evidence in itself, in the sense that it might not be introduced as evidence at trial to establish guilt or innocence. Rather, it is information that will allow law enforcement to access other non-testimonial evidence.

I'm not arguing for this position, just providing a perspective on why this isn't as open-and-shut as people often think it should be.
Not sure if there’s any insight here, this is more of a shower thought, but the protocol vaguely reminds me of a deep learning network. Pool -> do a calculation -> pool -> … etc.

As an alternative, you can seek learning and opportunity to learn through other means even when assisted by AI.

For me, AI assistance has simply sped up the code I already know how to write (like structured test setups etc.) so I can focus more on the problems related to the business, which AI has no clue how to solve.
Because, while you or I might be able to do it, a lot of people don't want to do this. They'd rather have it work and not need to think about it. There's a lot to be said (and pay for) convenience.

I've never worked at a McDonald's, but I have had to operate and maintain a soft-serve ice cream machine. I don't eat soft serve ice cream because I know how long it takes to clean these machines properly. I've seen what happens when they aren't. I don't trust that places like fast food joints that are understaffed, where the employees aren't motivated enough to do a thorough job, would take the time necessary to make sure those machines are clean.

Hydra (YC W22) adds upsert to columnar Postgres
Upsert, also known as "INSERT ... ON CONFLICT", is a feature in PostgreSQL that let's a user insert a new record or update an existing one if it already exists, using a single command.

Upsert is useful in several ways:

1. Data Consistency: It manages and keeps the data clean and free of redundancies. Any attempt to insert a new row of data into an existing table is modified into update commands when a conflict occurs.

2. Simplified Queries: Instead of writing separate INSERT and UPDATE queries, with Upsert, you can both cases in a single query thereby reducing the complexity.

3. Efficiency: Since a single statement can handle the process of inserting a new row or updating an existing one, the number of queries processed by the server can be reduced.

4. Atomicity: Upsert operations are atomic, meaning they will either fully complete or fully fail, ensuring the data integrity is maintained.

5. Error Handling: It prevents the processing from being halted due to error thrown if data already exists. In a large batch operation, this is especially useful.
> I said no to low-impact tasks.

This oversimplification is terrible advice.

I've seen many people refuse "low impact" work that's just flat out required for things to operate. Talking about keeping systems stable, working on tickets while they are on-call, and generally doing things that make work easily transferrable to others. These people that "refuse low impact work" end up being terrible teammates a lot of the time.
If they have a warrant, they can force you under threat of legal action if you don't comply. If they don't have a warrant, you can claim the 4th. If they try to get you to divulge the password/code/secret, you plead the 5th. If you let them in, well... Politely tell them they are no longer welcome. Please leave. If they don't comply, they are trespassing (unless they have a warrant, in which case none of the above applies and you're probably going to jail, wear clean underwear).
If they want to keep their instance up to date, Threads is influencing instance operators whether they like it or not.

Doesn't strike me as wise. Your phone is always on you, if you have a biometrics killswitch you're better off than repeatedly entering your password, day in and day out, in public locations where a highly motivated actor WILL be able to figure out your password with mere binoculars and two or three observations.

This is why I hate when I get a 1Password prompt to reenter my nonbio password at inopportune times in a public place. My keystrokes can be secretly filmed from a distance. When I gain access to passwords that I copy and paste by fingerprint, the forcible theft of my machine puts me at near 0 risk. (My preferred way to login while in public.)

This is a very well-written blog post: concise, lucid, and it does a good job speaking to programmer audiences with varying backgrounds.
I understand your frustration, but it's more or less what is being advertised as possible and reasonable to try with current AIs. I don't think you'd see the articles as much (or at least not without more refutation) if it was more clear what to expect from AI in its current state. Companies are rushing to implement models into their products without considering all the qualifiers and methods to get good results that you mention in your post. I am not saying you're wrong, but it's hard for me to be frustrated with lay persons when the type of prompting you're frustrated about is exactly what they were told they can do.

AI is pretty fine in its current state for quick look-ups of stuff, but I absolutely agree with you -- without really focusing on the prompt given, the results will be suspect with current models. I am not meaning to discredit or disrespect AI, though I definitely do want to disrespect the way AI is being sold, neverminding how AI is portrayed in media.

> Let me guess: you come from a ML or Haskell background

As a professional computer scientist I am familiar with all the major programming paradigms and all the general syntactic modes, whether that be C-like, Python-like, Ml-like, prolog-like, lisp-like, etc.

Yes I have worked professionally as a ML and Haskell programmer but I currently work on Assembler and c++, so my background is equally in both pots.

Nix is entirely unsurprising to anyone who is familiar with lambda calculus which should be all computer programmers really. It's fundamental. It'd be like a linguist not knowing what a preposition is.

Search warrants can compel you to give police access to your property, which can include your body (in cases of blood draw warrants in the case of DWI). The police can obtain a search warrant for your physical filing cabinet, which includes taking measures to access it if you won't unlock it for them.

Police can easily get warrants for your phone; you just can't be compelled to give the code to unlock. I suspect in the future we'll see a different level of cooperation from phone makers.
That really is the key here, no child looking for damaging material is looking for it on twitch. "The think of the children" angle is just a convenient stand-in for the real issue, which is the puritanical cultural threads that still influence many Americans and how they respond to nudity and sex.
> Leave work slightly unfinished for easier flow the next day

Years ago a sr. eng on my team would find root causes to bugs late in the afternoon and then just go home. When asked why, they said that they knew exactly what they were going to do first thing in the morning and that it got them straight into the flow state for the rest of the day.

I like this example better because understanding a root cause and not having it fixed is more concrete than "slightly unfinished" which is too vague for me to measure.

I interpret "emptying your brain" to mean "writing things down so you don't have to remember them tomorrow". This probably helps you remember, but without the stress of worrying about forgetting.
Correct, people in the model optimization world will claim all day that it only marginally impacts performance, but I’ve extensively played with quantization and pruning methods, and can report that they do cripple models in ways that the authors either didn’t notice or on purpose omitted from their SOTA benchmark chasing.

Most claims of models being even equal to GPT-3.5 are also significantly overblown. I haven’t seen one yet below 70 billion parameters which even comes close.

Nothing is free in this world.
A lot of his success was increasingly viewed as financial engineering that included things like really cutting back on research. He was eventually forced out over some expense picadillos that were presumably cover for the fact that the board just didn't want him there any more.

I think it also really wanted a floating point coprocessor for the high fidelity flight model.
Every retail/food service job is understaffed. You ask what people displaced by AI will do for a living? That. They'll do that. Because, actually, we do need people at PoS, if we're selling to other people. Hint hint as to why you should be supporting "unskilled" labor unions, high wages for those workers, and the destigmatizing of those types of jobs.
Seatbelts obviously represent a net benefit for the group. I don't think it's worth rehashing the details.

I'm not even sure I should try addressing murder... it's pretty obvious one person's will here has a major effect at removing another person's. Suicide feels like a better example; There are many societal reason to discourage it, while at the same time recognizing that it curtails an individual's choice to continue living.

If the conservative position was limited to the murder aspect then this would be a lot easier. Many of the laws go far beyond that, limiting access to abortion even in extreme cases. Even more-so they would attack sex education, prophylactics, birth control, etc. It's simply better not to apply your morals to everyone else's actions when no one is harmed, and the outcome has no effect no you.

I'm sorry to be rude, but telling me to empathize reads like a gotcha type statement implying I'm a 'bleeding heart liberal', but somehow not being empathetic because I reject some specific beliefs. Bad beliefs deserve to be rejected. If your statement was intended as I'm reading it, then fuck that noise.

I don't know what it means to be pro-meta-choice. Is this some kind of thought exercise where you ignore the actual outcomes, and go along with your preferred outcome, but rebrand it as choice?
https://www.google.com/search?q=gradient+banding+4:2:0

There simply aren't enough bits of precision in the luma encoding for good gradient support most of the time, chroma fills the gaps, and chroma subsampling produces artifacts.

These problems would go away with 10-bit AIUI. AVIF supports 10 bit but WebP does not.
Also, only a tiny fraction of PC monitors have color gamuts wider than sRGB, proper HDR support, or any kind of calibration.

Recently I’ve been dabbling in HDR video, but I realised that the exercise is futile because I can’t send the results to anyone — unless they’re using an Apple device.
I guess the difference here is that there's 3 separate parties: McDonalds corporate, Taylor (makes the ice cream machines), and the franchisee. McDonalds requires the franchisee to buy a specific machine from Taylor (or a dramatically more $$ one from an Italian company IIRC), and places other requirements on the franchisee, but is it legal to interfere in the relationship between the franchisee and Taylor?
Good to know. I haven't looked in years.
Without removing the functionality as it currently exists, I don't see a way to prevent this attack. Seems like the only real way is to have the user not specify websites to scrape for info but to copy paste that content themselves where they at least stand a greater than zero percent chance of noticing a crafted prompt.
It's a relative time sink and the toughest logistical challenge in the whole store for workers due to soft serve melting so fast.

You must make the ice cream last. The car has to be at the window (or customer at the counter) when you start. This is the only item in the store that must be prepared like this so you must always have a free person to do this. McDonalds does't provide the labor budget to have "free people" standing around to get your ice cream when you need it. Making ice cream almost always hurt another area of the store in a small way.

Also making a soft serve ice cream cone is much harder than you think. Took me ~2 months to get it down. Dont even get me started on dipped cones.

Fun fact: This is why your mcflurry doesnt have candy at the bottom. Workers hate ice cream! They dont blend it with the machine, they'll just hand blend it to be quick.

The fix would be to take the burden off the the employees. Automate it just like they did drinks. Or increase the labor allowance to have the staff to handle ice cream. They'll probably never do that though.
Do you leave yourself enough breadcrumbs that you can pick things back up in the morning? What's causing you sleepless nights? I find it helps me sleep better as I know I've dumped the context out of my brain and don't need to put effort into retaining it until I can get back to the task at hand.
What they mean is "the workers have 2-3x more work queued up than can be handled for satisfactory operations"

The latency of non low-latency(LL) codecs is objectively poor though. Switch supports the SBC code:

> SBC operates at a latency of between 170 and 270 milliseconds (yanked from the web so it may be a bit off)

Stacked on top the typical input latency and you talking somewhere in the neighborhood of 1/4, 1/3, or even pushing 1/2 seconds latency from an input to hearing a sound that plays in response to the input.

An individual might get used to it, or it might not bother them, but it's still there and measurably poor. Even for straight video, Amazon Firestick and other devices will add video latency to compensate.

LHDC and aptX-LL on the other hand can hit 30ms of latency.
