Python and JavaScript have similarly good formatters (as long as your idiot colleagues don't insist on using yapf instead of Black, despite yapf producing non-deterministic output!). In fact I would say Rust is probably behind Prettier in terms of auto formatting. The rustfmt output is less pretty (subjective I know), the devs have made several strange decisions and it seems to be semi-abandoned (maybe partly because the devs were ... shall we say not as friendly and welcoming as the Rust community likes to bleat on about).

There are a couple of alternative formatters:

* https://github.com/andrewbaxter/genemichaels
* https://github.com/jinxdash/prettier-plugin-rust

Still, all of them are better than clang-format!
> I don't see how the 5th amendment protects you against torture. You can choose to waive your constitutional right to not incriminate yourself, so surely you can also be tortured into waiving the same right?

The short response here is: How often do you see that happening in the US?

But in any case, note that I'm explaining what it was intended to do and what its meanings and implications are. Whether it is successful in achieving its goal is beside the point for this conversation.
The reason we mostly default to separating concerns of data and code is because of all the headaches it avoids. One item on my research wishlist is to bring more constraints like this provable to language models.
> If a large enough group of admins decides they are very much against this, they will not only block Threads, but block anyone who does not block Threads.

I don't think this is true. The instance my group is using isn't participating in any of the fediblocking/blocklists stuff, and hasn't been blocked by it.
At that point, it'd be easier to throw some cocaine or an unregistered firearm in their bag, and that'd be a simpler argument in court.
I feel uncomfortable because of the words themselves. Whether it was made to a “regular” non-living thing wouldn’t change it.
Don’t know about court cases but wartime censorship prevented the transmission of suspected codes in some situations, including in the US.

Careful then with words like "broader context".

IDF has never declassified its report on the massacre? If anything we don't know whats biased and whats not.

Apparently, Benny Morris (who I quote above) had access once, and doesn't appear to disagree that much with the UN report, despite his pro-Israel bias. I mean, Benny Morris is the kind of guy who thinks ethnic cleansing of Pals would have been moral and just answer to the Question of Palestine.
I wouldn’t know. The Sleepwalkers is a good start.

Perhaps. But I think mapping scans to meta human type models will be the better approach for a long time. If you need to create a specific person with high fidelity then get an artist. If you just need people then metahumans are a great tool.

If you neeed 4 CPUs for your peak load for 4 hours per day, and only 1 of them for the other 20 hours a day, you can save by scaling down to 1 cpu for 85% of the day.

That is very interesting! Perhaps there is some kind of disconnect happening between different parts of your brain, and physiologically you have created new pathways that work around that in some way.

In my youth I practiced lucid dreaming and astral projection techniques, as well as lots of experiences with psychedelics. I have recently started undergoing Ketamine treatments for anxiety, and while under the effects, I experience very vivid images similar to lucid dreams, while also being aware of what is going on around me such as my guide walking down the hallway to check on me periodically.

> religious communities not only "brainwash into having kids", but they also provide a support network for them and their parents

Really? Is daycare cheaper for Christians? Are Christian families (causally) less likely to have two parents working full-time? Because it seems to me that slogging your ass to church every Sunday to be told you're not Godly enough and should vote Republican just seems like Yet Another Fucking Thing that working parents have to do each week, on top of everything else. Do you have any, y'know, evidence at all, that religious parents have more of a support network around them than non-religious? (And that this difference is due to religion, not confounding factors like socioeconomics?)

> "Atheists" in "modern age" try to achieve more individual freedom by replacing the local community by a state.

Another hot take, eh? Any evidence for this one either? This is an unbelievably over-simplistic take. I guarantee whatever trend you think you're seeing here is just as prevalent among the highly religious. If you want to know why individual communities are breaking down, you'd be much better off looking at car dependence, the abundance of suburbs, and zoning laws than just deciding it must be the godlessness of those heathens causing all the problems.
Not really. An example that explicitly crashes instead of triggering undefined behavior:

If n!=0 return 1/n

Is well behaved: Division by zero wont happen.

z=1/n
If n!=0 return z

Is not well behaved. It will crash when n=0. What the compiler does is take the existence of z as a proof that n can't be 0, and optimize the if away:

z=1/n
return z

Just like division by 0, undefined behaviour (UB) is not allowed. The difference is: UB might crash or give a nonsensical result. You can't tell beforehand. Different versions of a compiler might make different choices of crash vs nonsense. Until recently, the author calculated nonsense, and threw it away, but that was accidental. It might have crashed too.

C had a lot of UB that gets thrown away, until some minor shift in optimizations changes it to a crasher. Compare it to an insanely sharp knife: Powerfull, but the slightest error might take off your fingers, it's very hard to know if something is or is not an error, and errors mostly dont cut if your fingers, until surprise surprise they do.

Rust is much better: only unsafe code behaves like C's crazy knife. Only when you use unsafe, the rust guarantees go out of the window, because that's what the programmer explicitly asked.

Probably not, but that shouldn't be conflated with nudity.

Fucking (typically) happens in the context of nudity, but there are many other reasons for nudity, and its association with and only with fucking in American society has led to some...unfortunate side effects.
"Targeting" is the right word, because many people with no prior interest in extremist topics get fed them by the algorithm. As long as even a small percentage of those people get hooked by that extremist content and end up spending vast amounts of time on youtube sucking it up the algorithm did what it was created to do, but that doesn't mean it wasn't absolutely targeting a group of people.

It might be "statistics based, data driven, mechanisms" that cause a fisherman to bait a hook, but he's still out there targeting fish and waiting to see which ones bite.

For the record, I don't buy the argument that youtube's algorithm can radicalize most people. For example, most people who aren't Nazis could listen to Nazis talk all day long for years and never start hating other people because of their race. People who study/track hate groups do exactly that without issue. No amount of listening to Nazis will suddenly turn them into one.

The problem is that there exists a small number of people who are genuinely vulnerable to that stuff and other people who can be influenced by some extreme ideologies after being desensitized by floods of even more excessively extreme ideas. When you're exposed to an endless steam of totally insane views, the mildly crazy ones can seem saner than they would have otherwise.

I don't think that youtube should censor content out of fear that some people will be vulnerable or desensitized to extremism, but it'd be nice if youtube didn't explicitly push it on people who never asked for it in the hopes that some of them will get suckered just because that drives up engagement.

SEO and ads are useless. It's all relationship based. VC is just one example of how to build relationships. Ideally it's based on your network, and if you have no network in the area that you're building, question why you are building in that area.

That said, there are often startup incubator type organizations that will have companies approach them looking for innovative startups. Usually on very bad terms though.

Better, do some networking and find companies that have people who scout startups with new technologies, they exist.

If you're talking about building AI models for companies, that's consulting, it's not a product, and it will require even deeper relationships as you will have to explain to the company why they would want to do it in the first place and have them listen. (I have done this, it's entirely relationship based)

If you make them vague then it'll be easy to interpret them narrowly.

Adam Mosseri spells out Threads' plans for the Fediverse
Just a note, because this is a common misconception that many folks bring from Reddit:

There are no "mods" on HN. There is one singular admin, dang, who pretty incredibly manages both the tech and the community.

In terms of people who have the power to downvote comments or flag stories, these are just regular HN users. There is a karma threshold at which downvote and flag links appear, but there is otherwise nothing special about this ability.

Some folks may think I'm splitting hairs, but I think it's important to clarify, as I often see comments blaming the "mods" for e.g. a post that was downvoted or flagged, as if the mods are some shadowy cabal (which can be the case when referring to Reddit mods). If posts are downvoted are flagged, it's because the community at large didn't like what you had to say.
> Joking aside, the article goes on to say that "NASA is now making new screwdrivers" to gain access. Does anyone have details on this? Why would NASA need to build something new?

They have to be qualified for use inside the glove box (read this in a different article), which I assume means sterile and unlikely to flake any material off. NASA is quite worried about being faked out by detecting something added post collection.

Also who knows what the failure mode is, so here is some speculation: Perhaps some distortion in the case, so the screw holes are no longer circular? In which case the tool has to apply more torque than normal (without flaking or snapping) and maybe have a special clamp, and even a strain gauge for measuring torque?
I don't know about your work but there are tools/libraries to instrument your applications. For native applications there are things like ABRT, for web applications there's Sentry and a lot of other tools.
All of the above?
It’s been shown that users interacting with the same agent (eg Siri) shift their language over time as they discover and internalize like works. LLMs both on their own and through future advancements will surely do the same.
It seems natural to expect a symbiotic coevolution of both the prompter and the promptee’s languages.
With a penalty like that, it's sending a loud message!

Side story, a good friend and his wife volunteered at a polling location. They were expected to work the full 12 hour day with breaks that were less than what the laws require for employees. One of them was sent to another location than they signed up for. They won't be doing it again. Anecdotal, so I don't know how widely this is an issue, they live in a rural area so not many people to draw on for this work.
You need to look for mid-sized companies or small startups that are funded and look at their current solutions and see how you can bring it up one level with your NLP skills with new ideas.

Also, are you familiar with which technologies in relation to the NLP?

Microsoft ha annunciato il lancio di un'esperienza di accesso innovativa dedicata agli utenti nell'Area Economica Europea (EEA) su Windows 10 e Windows 11. Questa nuova funzionalità, in sintonia con il Digital Markets Act (DMA) dell'UE, mira a fornire agli utenti maggiore controllo sull'uso delle loro credenziali di accesso per le applicazioni Microsoft.

Dal gennaio 2024, gli utenti EEA saranno accolti da un avviso durante l'accesso ai loro dispositivi Windows, informandoli sull'uso delle loro credenziali per accedere ad altre applicazioni e servizi Microsoft. Offrirà loro la possibilità di scegliere tra "Continua" e "Non accedere". Quest'ultima opzione consente l'utilizzo di applicazioni che non richiedono l'autenticazione senza dover effettuare l'accesso. Inoltre, le preferenze di accesso verranno memorizzate, riducendo la frequenza dei prompt, tranne in circostanze specifiche come non accedere a Windows per un periodo di 90 giorni.

Il DMA dell'UE è stato creato per garantire equità nei mercati digitali, definendo "gatekeeper" le aziende che detengono una notevole influenza su servizi di piattaforma significativi. Microsoft, tra gli altri giganti tecnologici, è inclusa in questa categoria. L'iniziativa di accesso singolo di Windows mira a garantire agli utenti maggiore autonomia sulle loro preferenze di accesso, riducendo così l'impatto della potenziale unilateralità dei "gatekeeper" sulle condizioni commerciali.

Le versioni di anteprima della nuova notifica di accesso sono già disponibili per gli utenti EEA di "Windows 11 (Build 2631.2787)". Gli iscritti al programma Windows Insider possono anticipare la preview della funzionalità in Windows 10 e 11 nelle prossime settimane. Microsoft ha sottolineato l'impegno nell'aderire ai requisiti normativi e nell'offrire opzioni di accesso trasparenti e controllabili, migliorando così l'esperienza degli utenti.

Man i can't wait for Nickel to work with Nix. Feels impossibly difficult though.

I often think that making Nix logic + configuration is just a mistake. I kinda feel like i'd prefer something that output a JSON-like config, and that config was a deterministic instruction for my stuff.

I know why that sounds impossible or big or difficult or etc. but as a user, i often am writing something that walks and talks almost and so damn close to JSON. Most of it looks like simple configuration. But can i print a damn JSON object? Hell no. Because there's lazy function calls all over the place.

They managed to make something (and other similar langs) that looks like clean readable configuration, but acts like some obtuse bespoke logic where you can't know what anything is without running it - and running it to see output is weirdly difficult.

I am on Nix, but i kinda think there's more than one fatal flaw. I adore what they've done, but there has to be something better and more enjoyable as a system configuration.. i hope.

It's probably a tooling problem. I get that. But still.. i just want to see some configuration output. Why is that so hard?

I would assume security exploits, mostly targeting old unpatched versions, with some undisclosed 0days in the more expensive products.

And against a modern Pixel/iPhone I would also expect the answer to how does it work to be "not so well". Consider the percentage of the population that uses a potato phone from 2018, consider the likelihood of them being the criminal in question, and the product starts working a lot better.
