> Israel has gone out of its way to avoid civilians

What civilians? President Herzog said there are no innocent civilians in Gaza, as did many other politicians. IDF soldiers are singing about how there are "no uninvolved civilians".

Just turning off water TO PUNISH CIVILIANS isn't going out of one's way to not harm them. Or just sniping people out of nowhere, including a 70 year old woman with a white flag fleeing with a child. Or just shooting youth in the West Bank, then running over the body with an army truck.

You are telling us we didn't see what we saw because you don't face it. That's a fool's errand.

Amazing that this post about how they are intent on delivering the "best possible user experience" just announces a ton of features they're dropping and literally not one feature they are adding.

Not that it matters to me because having bought an Amazon Echo a few years back I find these things mostly useless. It basically just does the most basic things a phone does (music, weather, news headlines), but with added friction when it misinterprets you. They are a clear example of something we rush to buy because they are "the future" before realising that the future is just the present but more tedious and with more ads.
Ironic considering you can’t even discuss the claims without shutting down any critical thinking with claims of bias.

Ken, if you have some spare bandwidth I have some high-res decap photos from the chip in the Casio SK-1!

I worked on trying to reverse engineer the instruction set from that chip, but most of the code is in a mask ROM that probably needs some debug wires to extract.

Signmeonly.io
Have you ever hesitated to start a web project just because the session id token along with the secrets is passed along the usual REST GET/POST request?

Well signmeonly intends to solve just that. With a secret that is send via email and stored in the local browser storage which is not sent anywhere, yet accessible by the website you develop, signmeonly uses the secret to encrypt a random string every time your client talks to your website.

Want to hear more? Leave your message in the comments and we - are eager to tell you everything you need.

How is the filibuster unconstitutional? The Constitution explicitly gives each House the power to select its own rules, and the Senate is never "dissolved" like the House of Representatives is, so its rules carry on.

If you're trying to save for a downpayment (as many professionals care to) then staying at home certainly helps accumulate that faster, but I expect much of this demo staying with parents are making the median wage or lower. They have the same dream.

> The Postmaster reported that the problem at his one specific site had been been happening intermittently all year. He told NBSC who sent experienced trainers out to ensure the Subpostmaster wasn’t doing something wrong. The trainers concluded the Subpostmaster was doing nothing wrong and witnessed the error happening. The auditors, who were incentivised by the Post Office to suspend Subpostmasters with discrepancies (another story), came out. They concluded the Subpostmaster was doing nothing wrong and they witnessed the error happening.

> Chambers went to work. She delved into the system and reported: “have checked the system figures… and can confirm that all the variants reported since then have been calculated correctly. There are no known issues that would result in the variance being incorrect.”

> Chambers closed the ticket with a definitive: “No fault in product”.

> The cause of the defect was assigned to “User” – that is, the Subpostmaster.

> When Beer asked why, Chambers replied: “Because I was rather frustrated by not – by feeling that I couldn’t fully get to the bottom of it. But there was no evidence for it being a system error.”

...

> Chambers conceded: “something was obviously wrong, in that the branch obviously were getting these discrepancies that they weren’t expecting, but all I could see on my side was that they were apparently declaring these differing amounts, and I certainly didn’t know of any system errors that would cause that to happen, or that would take what they were declaring and not record it correctly…. so I felt, on balance, there was just no evidence of a system error.”

> No evidence. Williams pointed out that it surely was unlikely to be a user error if both trainers and auditors had recorded the Subpostmaster as inputting information correctly. Chambers replied:

> “Well, yeah, I… yes, I don’t know why… I’m not happy with this one. But I still stand by there being no indication of a system error and the numbers that they were recording just didn’t make a lot of sense.”

and you don't know for sure if it was really reasoning or memorization and stochastic parroting. From another hand there are many research results demonstrating that neural networks have limitation in learning even something like multiplying numbers with many digits.
You are in a bubble. And these changes also apply to Google Home devices which are in millions of homes.
Not just social media, but traditional media as well. As an example, British tabloid 'The Mirror' is using AI to write some of its news articles, and apparently nobody bothers to proofread them before release.

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/vladimir-putin-adds...

This piece of "journalism" released a couple of days ago claims Finland is in the process of joining NATO, while it already joined nearly a year ago. This is obviously caused by utilization of a LLM model with training data limited to time before Finland was accepted. At least at the end of the article they mention AI was utilized, and included an email where you can complain about factual errors.
I think this article is badly argued, but about a topic which interests me greatly.

There are basically three epistemologies. There's the constructive (mathematical, proscriptive), the empirical (science, emotional), and trust. The constructive and empirical epistemologies don't separate as neatly as we would like them to, but a constructive argument basically looks like: "here's a thing that you definitely believe, and here is an implication of that, therefore you believe in the implication" aka modus ponens.

The empirical epistemology goes: "You have made a lot of observations, here's a simple explanation for all of them that you may go check", more or less the scientific method.

The trust based epistemology is just: "If I can establish facts about you, then I can establish facts about the things that you claim to believe, without having to see the receipts"

Each of these epistemologies has its own definition of argument, and they're all similar, but they're distinct, and the author isn't being clear about which one he means. In my estimation, the passages about ancient history are a reflection of him mistaking trust based arguments for empirical ones. This is a very common mistake.

An empirical argument is of the form "Here is the test that I used to differentiate my explanation from other explanations, and why I think this is a good test", whereas the trust based argument for the same explanation would be "Here is the data that my theory explains".

Oh in Europe politicians dont care that the local population is declining. The US tries to solve it by banning abortions, but that’s going to cause more issues than solve. In Europe they just welcome anyone and then put them on benefits. I am not against migration but those poor souls arrive in Europe to escape poverty and end up being poor here because they face the same challenges as the locals.
Well quite frankly, saying "the claim that these are lies are just as disingenuous as the claims themselves" is a pretty low quality, classic stick-in-the-spokes "debate" tactic that essentially hand waves the ball back in the other person's court with minimal effort or contribution or real debate and puts maximum onus on someone else in public in the "flow" of discourse.

This is "great" for televised debates but this is kind of passive aggressive for the tone people prefer here. We're talking to people here. More directly than a formal debate.

Someone participating earnestly knows they are capable of either politely expressing interest and asking for sources, or as another mentioned: typing and clicking all by themselves.
Sooner or later, everybody will feel the same way. In my experience, getting over it was on the same order of magnitude as, say, getting over a divorce. Absolutely one of the worse experiences you can have which won't actually kill you. Some pieces of advice I got which really helped:

1. What you need is seeing that small but steady effort yields small but steady successes. Losing weight, or shaving seconds and minutes from a swim or a run, fits the bill nicely.

2. An essential part of healing is to heal your body and health. When your body is strong enough, it will heal your mind.

3. Depression is a lying bastard--don't believe anything it says.

4. IT GETS BETTER!
This is amazing. I'm a big user of both Jupyter notebooks and Observable notebooks (https://observablehq.com/) and the thing I miss most from Observable when I'm using Jupyter is the lack of cell reactivity.

Sans the lore; look into interviews with Bob Lazar, both from the 80's and recently. His story hasn't changed in decades, and he has nothing to gain from it financially, at least that I can tell.

Also, his wikipedia page has been edited into a hit piece against him, which makes the story even more interesting.

He predicted the discovery of Moscovium 115 before it was synthesized in an unstable form by Russian scientists. He claimed (and claims) that a stable form of element 115 is the "fuel" in antimatter reactors. It's an intriguing story. There's a Joe Rogan podcast interviewing him.

Nothing would make the internet lose appeal to me faster than having to do something like that.
Thanks! One way we differ from streamlit is that ML/data/experimentation work can start in marimo — i.e., you can use marimo for traditional notebooking work, without ever making an app. But you can also use marimo to make shareable apps as you've articulated.

I have experienced 2 layoffs, once as an IC and once as an EM.

As an IC, the day it happened and the weeks after it happened were tough, but I knew if I was the one impacted and my job was 'safe' for the time being.

As an EM, I knew months in advance, but I had no idea if I would be on the list. This caused months of stress while I planned for promotions and projects for people that might not (and eventually weren't) there after the rif.

Ripping off the band aid is much more human than telling people "sometime in the next 12 mo we may or may not fire a large portion of you, so please keep giving your 100%"
That's true. On Jan 12 of 1999 you could have said "there has never been a better time to game on Linux" and you would have been correct.

That said, remember the Ouya? That was probably the first successful console running Linux. I don't count the PS3's Linux mode because that wasn't for gaming.

Asseline can claim what he wants, but, unfortunately for him, the FDR and reconstitutions (performed in a simulator and in a real plane) do not back him up. And the only “proof” of FDR tampering comes from someone who did not understand what he was looking at.

Now, I don't want to be too harsh on him. AF set him up to fail (acknowledged by the BEA report), then threw him under the bus. I can understand why he chose the support of the SNPL, even if it meant going at war against the plane.

Axle (YC S22) is hiring a senior product engineer
Axle is Plaid for Insurance - a universal API for insurance data. We make it easy for consumers to securely share their insurance data to companies they trust, in seconds.

Over $13B is spent on uninsured loss every year, and mortgages and auto loans are prohibitively expensive for many borrowers. Why? In a large part because fleet managers, lenders, and gig services are missing access to insurance data.

Axle solves this problem - providing instant, continuous access to insurance data, enabling our clients to make decisions in seconds instead of hours.

Axle is a fast growing, seed-stage startup backed by leading investors including Google's AI fund, Y Combinator, and angels from companies like Plaid. Our team is based in New York and Atlanta, where we come together to collaborate between time spent working in our own environments.

We're looking for someone to be hands on building the product and help us shape the engineering culture and practices as we grow.

For more details, check us out the role here: https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/axle/jobs.

I wonder about the moving further out part. I know my grandparents moved into a town that was way out there but as more and more people moved to the area it became less remote. Same thing happened with my parents. It was not uncommon for less desirable areas to be where starter homes where purchased. I guess the data that would disprove/prove this would be population size vs prices.
My retort was quoting you. Besides, I wrote "mostly" focuses... That doesn't mean "only" focuses. "As if" is only in your mind by a mistaken interpretation. Please reread my original post, this time slowly. Good grief.

I Tried the Top Most Popular AI Data Analysis Tools

I don't know if humans are "really reasoning or memorization and stochastic parroting" either without a testable hypothesis of what makes something "really reasoning" as opposed to the other two.

And most humans struggle with multiplying numbers with even quite few digits.
My best guess is the algorithm has been tweaked to return exact results maybe 1/10 or 1/20 times, like a slot machine with the psychological manipulation and “reward centre activation” that comes with it.
I have briefly told ChatGPT 3.5 about the syntax of a CLI tool I wrote, then asked it to perform a few operations. It did a surprisingly good job, even when I said "and format the result as JSON with fields named Command and Description where the latter explains what the command does".

If I was to actually use this in a real system, I'd definitely build a restricted shell to execute in, and probably run it inside a Docker container with just the essential files mapped in, because I don't trust an LLM not to describe what it's doing as "updating timestamps" or whatever but actually the command is "rm -rf ~"
Maybe FuPS? So it's easier to tell from other two FPS-es.
That sounds really cool! marimo has a dependency graph viewer built-in, but we could definitely improve it. Coloring nodes by execution status, and annotating cells with their variable defs/refs, would be great quality-of-life improvements.

I understand where you're coming from, but I suspect the same would have been true of the scientists working for the Manhattan Project. Technology may well be inevitable, but we shouldn't forget that how much care we spend in bringing it to fruition can have absolutely staggering consequences. I'm also more inclined to believe, in this case, that money was the primary issue rather than a sense of challenge. There are after all much more free, open-source AI projects out there for the purely challenge-minded.
As long as there are people in Russia and China who are willing to work on such tech, it's actually ethical for Americans to work on the technology.

Effectively, it's the military power of the US and its allies that prevents people like Vladimir Putin from killing potentially millions of people in their neighbouring countries. Whatever faults US has, it's still infinitely better than Russia. I say this as a citizen of a country that shares a long border with Russia.
> Are the prospects actually there in smaller towns? They might be more with remote work now.

The prospects in small towns are atrocious, that's why they're small towns. If you want to see what a post-apocalyptic world is like, just drive through a random small town in the midwest. There's a downright spooky vibe to them, they're sprinkled with abandoned and rotting buildings.

The dream of remote work is largely dead, or at least back to pre-pandemic state. Only top tier talent can get remote work, there's a ton of competition for those jobs.
