Lol, this is written in very game-like language where you often need to prioritize certain aspects (to max something) above others. This is often because you get a limited number of "ability points" when you level up, so "maxing" strength means you prioritize using those points to gain strength.

There's the document that lists the medical disqualifications for the US military. It's 59 pages long. I was never eligible because of 6.18.d.11
You're missing the explanation of how the non-political celebs also charging fees in the >$100k bracket "looked after" anyone.

If celebrity speakers aren't worth anywhere near that, what are banks and multinationals and industry events bribing ex-sports coaches and actors for?

And of course even the politicians get paid by a lot of entities that aren't obvious beneficiaries. Boris Johnson might be as sleazy as former PMs get, but I'm really struggling to understand any quid pro quo with the Indian newspaper or Portuguese TV channel that both paid him north of $250k for a single keynote, and I don't think he ever had much influence on insurance brokers in Colorado either
That hasn't been the case with the very limited trials of UBI in other countries, so what makes you think that?

Surely the biggest trap that prevents people from seeking work is poverty. You can hardly even apply for most jobs if you have no fixed abode and no access to bathing facilities or clean clothes.
We've been misusing the term ever since observing the ghosts in Pac Man.
A large part of the Individual Master File processing engine is also written in mainframe assembly language.

But the broader issue seems to be that the IRS is really bad at planning, goal-setting, and managing its development lifecycle [1]. They've burned through $5.9B just on modernization projects since 1998, with very little to show for it. Many of those projects, including replacing IMF and CADE (which was supposed to be the modern system that would replace IMF, but which failed), have been paused indefinitely. Clearly replacing these legacy systems is time-consuming work, but any way you look at it, it should not take 30 years (that's how long it would have taken if they accomplish their current goal of retiring the IMF by 2028).

It's not just that development is slow; this is holding back IRS from operating efficiently. IRS employees reportedly have more than a hundred internal applications they have to be trained in and switch between in order to accomplish basic tasks, and they have a huge backlog.

This attitude is the reason why I now dread filling out any random web form, because a poorly implemented crappy JavaScript ”flow” will take over my browser, break the back button, accessibility and autofill features and randomly fail and start over in step 6 out of 19. It’s the reason why a simple web form requires 100 MB of bandwidth to deal with.

People working from a train or on data roaming are not a fringe case. They have amounts of bandwidth that, 20 years ago, were enough to serve any complex web experience. It’s not acceptable that we now require more data than is contained in all the books in the library of congress to buy a ticket on Ticketmaster.

I can’t understand how someone looks at the ratio of useful action to code size, sees it’s something like 1:1e6, and thinks this is fine.

The modern web’s usability, efficiency and reliability are terrible, and worse each year. Defending the tech stack that led to this with “it’s a good UX” is both wrong and makes me feel like web devs live on another planet from the rest of us.
> I see you neglected to address the US Military comment. Which person are you thinking of that is so suited for a job that isn't employable by the military?

Such government program could provide different jobs, not only one. People have different expectations and different abilities. Military is not for everyone.

> It's literally better to just give the person $5 to do nothing over having them work.

Don't do negative works then. There's a lot of jobs that are not profitable, but still provide utility to society. If you pay $50 for nothing, or pay $50 for $10 worth job, in second case it's actually only $40 paid so much better.
The justification, if you read the source document, is that it could possibly be found inflammatory to the most thin skinned person.
I'm not anti-science, I'm anti performative science for the sake of "doing science". And anti "we can't do proper science so let's throw up our hands". Helping individual kids and yes, relying on anecdotes would do much more good in this specific scenario than a study.

Let me explain. Doing a "simple" study like this is nigh-impossible within the science establishment we have today. Like you said, let me try. Let's walk through the steps.

A PI would have to get a grant to help not the underserved/underprivileged kids, but rather those who are perceived to have an advantage. They have to work with hundreds of schools (gifted kids are rare). Within that set of hundreds of schools they have to control for cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds and so on. Having succeeded they'll have to get this published (and probably fight some accusations of being elitist in the process). All I am saying is: this PI better already have tenure.

This problem is not just about gifted kids. A commonly heard complaint in the field of psychiatry for example is that we only study the minds with pathologies. We don't at all look at how to improve things for healthy people. Come to think of it, that is true in medicine in general.
Aren't papers also supposed to be reproducible? Having access to the original code would allow you to see why you're not getting the same results if it's caused by a bug.
AoE2DE still ships with hand-written assembly, though not part of the game code itself. The executable is initially encrypted by an executable packer. It unpacks the game code at runtime - some functions even on-demand.

Not sure why they do this, but this even leaves all code as RWX (readable, writable and executable) which is highly insecure.
Well yea. Insurance isn’t free and your employer isn’t paying for it any more. Someone has to.
It shouldn't be, the effort with which something is produced has zero weight when judging its value. For books they should be rated based on their purpose. Non-fiction should be rated along dimensions of accuracy, new information, utility, clarity and absence of errors. Fiction should be rated on how entertaining and inventive it is among other things. If you want to subdivide further I'm sure you could come up with other meaningful criteria.
Sadly, WPF is Windows-only.

There’s an equivalent cross-platform GUI framework called Avalonia https://www.avaloniaui.net/ I don’t have a hands-on experience with it, but based on the internets I have an impression the tech is pretty good by now.
Their experience shouldn’t be much different on an SPA vs an MPA. If they can do an MPA round trip involving a medium-size image, then they should be able to load an SPA.

Stuff like filtering search results is very easily accomplished by a MPA with query parameters to a results page. The specific elements that allow you to specify query parameters often require more interactivity, but this is easy to layer on with a progressive enhancement type approach on top of a fundamentally MPA application.
If you read the source document, you’d understand why the bar is set at that particular level.
I don't see the contradiction. CYA is driven by shareholders pressing the board, the board distributing the pressure to divisions, division heads distributing that to middle management, middle management distributing that onto assembly and sales teams, and everyone keeping their heads down. We don't call it bean counting for nothing.

I.e. money.

Perhaps I can be clearer. This is in contrast to managing a company based on e.g. ethics and longevity. The question whether or not it is cheaper to sacrifice lives because of litigation and reputation loss should never come up.
The opposite. Absolute monarchy is essentially when an individual (the monarch) has absolute power over a fiefdom. Similarly to how slave-owning plantation owners wielded near-absolute power over their plantation.

What I'm saying is that there has always been this conflict where (some) private individuals want absolute reign over others, and democracy limits this power. The Magna Carta is just one classical example of that.

The distinction between private and public is a little blurred when it comes to absolute monarchs, but the general trend is that the more absolute power a monarch has, the more they're running it essentially as a private estate. That's why lists of the wealthiest people in history often include rulers with absolute power.

Due to the conflict, the private power of monarchs has weakened. That's why, for example, in The Crown we see a monarchy that has to concern itself with public perception and the Prime Minister. But William the Conquerer essentially owned much of England.
I’ve seen two cars driving without plates within 5 miles of my house just this week.

Do you see police officers every single time you drive anywhere (or walk, bike, bus, whatever)? I know I don’t. And even if you do see one, they might have multiple reasons they’ll cite for why they didn’t stop X vehicle for Y infraction.
I think the fundamental question behind this and similar cases will be "how many degrees of derivation are required to go from copying to learning".

If I read a lot of New York times and then go and write a political thriller, that's fine.

If I read the New York times and then go and report the same news, but in my own voice, that's debatable.

If I take the New York times article and publish it verbatim, that's a problem.

All of these cases are ultimately on a spectrum - and the answer will go beyond AI I think. Tesla's lead designer previously worked at Mazda, GM and Volkswagen - so does Tesla owe these companies money because their designer learned car design there? This might sound silly, but it's a fair argument when it comes to AI - how much distance does there need to be between the learned from material and the output?
I’ve paid for my own insurance via CORBA. I wish those checks had been entirely theoretical, but the fact is that my employer had been writing those same checks on my behalf and then they stopped. The insurance company isn’t going to give me anything for free.
Ask HN: Small business owners on HN. How do you do your accounts?
I'm a small business owner that has ignored doing accounts since the start of my business. I know some older successful business owners and they have repeatedly advised me to not take doing accounts and growing positive cash flow lightly.

I'm an engineer, I like building and always felt that I should spend more time delivering value than counting what I am making. Also, I was trying to solve for growing revenue rather than reducing cost—which I still think is what I should prioritise.

However, this is my 4th year in business and with expenses rising and having to manage payroll. I have begun to realise that I have not been the most realistic with my choices at times. I appreciate the wisdom of the older folks who have been successful at creating wealth from running a business and think it’s important to get the basics right.

I want to start putting in effort to do my accounts regularly and would love if I could have a checklist of sorts which I could just tick off regularly rather than it being a never ending project.

I'm curious for how successful business owners on HN manage this?

Does any have a template they like to use? What questions should one’s accounts system be able to answer? What type of decisions does it help you make?

Appreciate any help!
> “Web development shouldn’t need a build step”

A build step is a huge barrier that makes authoring your own websites require significantly more expretise than it otherwise would. It thus makes web development less accessible, and puts anything even a little bit complicated out of reach of anyone who isn't already an experienced web developer or exceptionally dedicated. It also discourages the slow development of some pet website of a not-primarily-a-web-developer-by-trade into something more featureful, since expanding beyond the point where you can still reasonably avoid a build step suddenly requires acquiring a lot more exprertise and expending a lot of effort all in one go, instead of just being a smooth expansion into a more featureful project.

The simpler it is to make your own website without having extensive web development experience, the more people will be able to have their own website instead of being directed to the endless array of corporate silos like social media (which has largely replaced personal websites) and corporate middlemen (which have largely replaced in-house commercial websites for smaller actors) that take care of the burden of making your own website for you, with some rather obvious downsides.
Usually in the USA its for employers who want to get in on EEOC things is it actually tracked, otherwise its usually right out.
SPAs often require an uninterrupted internet connection even if it’s not technically necessary.
Seriously, the clickable scroll wheel was one of the best things to ever happen to mice. Ones with a side-to-side toggle action are even better.
It also depends on your definition of simple. The architectural model of Preact is simple. You change state, your application renders correctly. The architectural model of an MPA with interactivity sprinkled in seems as simple, but quickly becomes more complex over time, and has ultimately not been as simple in my experience.
Tbh I've started seeing their terrible mouse switches as a bonus. It means I get a free replacement every 12-20 months.
> But to my surprise, the change introduced by that commit disappeared from all subsequent commits - leading me to suspect that they were using diffs in this stage.

Good way to think about rebase is that it's nothing more than automated reset and cherry-pick. You can rebase by hand without using `git rebase`, it's a convenience tool just like `git bisect`. `drop` does nothing, and removing the line does the same thing - it's just not cherry-picking that particular commit, skipping right to the next line. You can even add new lines to an interactive rebase and cherry-pick completely unrelated commits this way.

Once you know how cherry-pick works, rebase (and revert) becomes clear too.
You would do something like a Dmca takedown request form but with a industry standard fee, ala what Spotify pays to royalty holders per stream of a song that scales based on the value of the content. It gonna be like tiny tiny fractions.

Ideally a marketplace would develop that can price each content fairly.
Because in most web apps you still need to have client-side logic anyways, like form validation and such, so familiarizing yourself with a SPA framework is simpler than learning to implement this in addition to the MPA framework you'll probably end up using anyway.
What is "it"? Training can be fair use, i.e. updating weights incrementally based on predicted next token probabilities. And I (not a lawyer) think that if a broadly trained foundation model can recall some verbatim text, that doesn't mean the model is infringing.

It seems like the lawsuit here is talking about specific NYT related functionality, like retrieving the text in new articles. That essentially has nothing to do with training and running a foundation LLM, it's about some specific shenanigans with NYT content, and it's legal status would appear to have nothing to do with whether training is fair use.

Yes, the ACA made it so everyone can go to healthcare.gov and buy health insurance.

Health insurance and healthcare is NOT tied to your employer in the US.

However, many employers pay 50% to 70% or even 100% of the health insurance premiums for their employees, and employees can use pre tax income to pay health insurance premiums if purchased by their employer.

The problem has always been this tax advantage of your employer purchasing it, AND most Americans opting to not purchase it due to cost.

Note that there are significant subsidies available if you earn less than 400% of the federal poverty level, although that may still leave many unable to purchase it (or the deductible/oop max is so high it would not make any difference).

Some people really love them. For me, since there isn't anything to grasp on the sides, it induced cramps to where I'd have to take a break.

If they built something on the chassis of the Intellimouse, but with the Arc's touch surface, that could really be something.
Without a study of some sort, we’re just exchanging anecdotes. I’ve seen resume-driven development a handful of times in my 20-year career. You may be right, but we won’t know until we come up with some way to measure it.

Most developers I’ve worked with have just been interested in solving problems.
> what would the effects be on the competitiveness of the US AI industry

To me, this leads to another question: is it possible to get a GPT-4 quality model using only training data from major content providers?

In other words, what if OpenAI didn’t crawl the entire internet and only used data from Facebook, Twitter, Wikipedia, GitHub, NYT, Stackoverflow, and [list 100 more well known high quality data sources here]

If it’s possible to get to GPT-4 model quality with training data from a couple hundred centralized sources, then maybe it won’t have any impact at all (other than OpenAI needing to pay other companies to use their data for training data)

Or, if the long tail “every website on the internet” really is the secret to training LLM models, then that would be much more problematic.
Or even avoid discussing SPAs or MPAs entirely.

At the end of the day, we're talking about whether a specific interaction (or a set of interactions) can be handled over the network or not.

If you need the interaction to fully resolve (as in the state is updated and the success or failure of the interaction is visible to the user) within 800ms or so, then it shouldn't be performed over the network.

For interactive editors like Figma, you often have interactions based on key repeats, which usually fire at 50-200ms intervals. So client-side rendering is really the only feasible option.

5G can (and usually does) run on practically the same frequencies, the same towers, the same grid sizes that LTE operates on.

Phones have been using tower location for more accurate and rapid location for decades. Some of the first standards came in 3G networks.
There’s something to be said about drastically reducing your threat surface too. Locking down 1 server is easier than locking down a fleet. You can still have security in depth inside your server.

I was just looking at the urban area. The official population of many cities in the US is almost entirely meaningless in this context.
Why? As long as you work to the book, you are essentially untouchable for non-cause reasons. They’re not gonna fuck with him again.
Not quite. Of the $79B, $46B was earmarked tax law enforcement, while $4.8B is designated tax processing modernization, including a plan to replace the current legacy systems (IMF and others that are written in a combination of COBOL and assembly language and that run on 1960s mainframes against IBM VSAM data files, and which the IRS have been trying to replace since the 1990s) by 2028. That money is supposed to be spent that way, and the IRS have to get approval from Congress' House and Senate Appropriations Committee (and TIGTA, Office of Management and Budget, and GAO must all sign off on each request) for all their expenses.

I won't disagree that their IT woes seem to be in large part due to incompetence, however.
It is the spectrum of interactivity. If you are a CPP/AI/Go dev who needs a static blog with simple form, you'll believe server rendered MPA are way to go. If your site has interactivity and dynamic status/notifications, you'll believe SPA makes sense. Unfortunately like in everything now days people assume other side is idiot and pick up pitchfork.
Without bothering to get into this, you need to be looking at gross margins, so dropping all fixed costs, as well as normalizing to the type of cars being sold
This isn't about science, or lunar exploration, this is about capitalism marketing the moon as a cool place to store your uncle's ashes. The Navajo aren't standing in the way of lunar research, they're just objecting to using the moon to dump corpses on.

Although your consideration that indigenous peoples are categorically worth less than others, is duly noted.
You aren't software. The laws that apply to people reading and learning do not apply to software. Software isn't people. It can't be liable, it isn't taken to court. It can't go to jail, it can't marry, it can't raise a family. Saying that you can legally learn from something by reading it and producing something else, and therefore so should software, is a non sequitur.
