> Humans love to overfit, it's often easy and faster to get what you want

The problem is Goodhart's. Tests aren't used to measure your ability to overfit them, but to measure your general knowledge. Obviously the latter is exceptionally difficult to measure so we settle for an easier metric. The problem comes from believing that the measurement well aligns with the thing we set out to measure. The same is for humans as is for machines and it is why it is insane to say something like "look, GPT did well on the BAR exam, it should be able to practice law." Because we explicitly do not want a legal system that follows the letter of the law (rather spirit of the law) and it's clear which one GPT would do. Yes, there's a problem that humans go this way too, but it's something we can solve if we are willing to admit the fuzziness of our metrics.
I'll get one of these and run Linux, but ARM Windows is already available.
> but it’s not clear what comes next
Yep!

The same thing happened in Mexico, Thailand, Turkiye, Malaysia etc.

Skilled manufacturing continues to grow within China and these countries, but skilled manufacturing requires a high amount of human capital, which means your average Joe ain't getting retrained.

Imo, now is the best time for China to expand it's horrible social safety net. Thailand, Turkey, and Malaysia all did a similar expansion of their social safety net when they were at China's level decades ago.

There's a reason why Turkey today has living standards comparable to Central Europe versus in 1990 when it was comparable to Algeria and Phillipines. And why China didn't catch up to Mexico's HDI until COVID happened, which contracted the Mexican economy to a level unseen anywhere else other than India.

> graduates not willing to do blue collar work

People are willing if you pay them enough. The issue is the pay is relatively low, but CoL has gotten very high.

This happens to all countries. Go read older news articles about Turkiye in the 2000s, Malaysia/Thailand in the 1990s, Mexico in the 1990s, etc.

They all developed rapidly and then stagnated.

UK Legal rule that computers presumed correct – unjust consequences
Our obsession with pretending we can stop the sale and use of drugs has been the primary force suppressing civil liberties in this nation for a generation at least. Everything form asset forfeiture to mandatory minimums to letting some dog provide probable cause - the list of violations we allow when it comes to drugs is long and embarrassing. Aside from terrorism or child abuse, where else do Americans so eagerly and willingly forfeit basic rights? And at least those crimes have victims.
AI could change our lives completely over the course of a decade but if each change is just a little improvement that builds on the last one, the whole time people could grumble that "that's not anywhere near ground breaking."

To ask the obvious question (aside from "oh wow you worked on the 757 that's so cool tell us everything you legally can?" :D ) which I'm assuming has an obvious answer, what happens if one of the four cables (or the elevator itself on that side) simply jams when its elevator is fully actuated in that cable's direction? Isn't this effectively the same situation as one pilot yelling "hail hydra" and going full send on their elevator lever? Either way your control authority (ignoring roll) has gone from [-1, 1] to [0, 1] or variants thereof.

Also something I've always wondered - when designing an airliner what's the boilerplate error rate for a trained human pilot, that you use in "ah yes but what if the pilot does it wrong?" type calculations?

The problem with a chargeback is that it doesn’t actually cancel the service. You’re likely to see the same charge on your next month’s statement.

Now, as part of the chargeback process the merchant may cancel your subscription, but they’re also likely to ban you as a customer from ever using their services again.

Depends - I would say 4% is probably accurate enough evidence to support an arrest (i.e. they are detained someone in order to investigate a crime they are suspected of committing), but not enough to support a conviction. Arrest != conviction.

However 4% probably isn't accurate enough to support jailing someone (in my view, depending on other evidence), so there is nuance here.

Besides, while you are innocent until proven guilty, this doesn't mean that you can't be arrested (i.e. detained for investigation) if you are a suspect.

I have a lot of friends who have incredibly varied backgrounds and this rings true for me.

A friend who grew up in the worst rural schools, still lives in mobile home 2.5 hours from the nearest major city, driving 35 minutes through the country to their restaurant job in their grandmothers car, while taking care of the 3-year old kid they had when they were 18 while co-parenting with their divorced husband, while dealing with felony drug charges, and makes <$1,500/month has absolutely grokked the realities of ChatGPT and Midjourney without me mentioning anything about it to them. Instagram and TikTok expose people to these trends and mobile apps with free accounts open up immediate exploration to the masses.

Two friends who are 35 year old mostly-unemployed interior designers with an anthropology degree and no college degree are using it for drafting quotes.

Every lawyer, MBB consultant, and computer programmer I know either uses them heavily or are aware of colleagues who do.

I tutor a ton of students at a mid-tier state school, every single student I know in high school or university are using ChatGPT for their schoolwork.

And the 5-7 year olds I know have much worse typing skills than I had at that age, because they use Siri to do 90% of the things on their phone/tablets. It annoys the shit out of me because it looks so painful and the noise of them talking to their phone is obnoxious, but I can absolutely see the paradigm changing to where the youngest generation might not even use keyboards for their first choice as a computing interface. Powerful LLM's will greatly improve their interaction with Siri.
That's a Ted Nelson system. Also Brave has it in BAT tokens, which violates your principle but anyways.

I'm not saying that's not a solution just because it hasn't worked, just that the sauce is more subtle and harder to get right
People do that (not me) because you can easily change all elements that have that specific border type. You might change the radius or thickness, could add an outline or at least see what it looks like applied to everything. border-solid wont change but it follows the same approach for consistency.
Probably the most material privacy issue for most people is that very basic operations like establishing your identity, providing a contact method, and making a payment all involve giving your counterparty a long-lived identifier which they must keep secret and which anyone they leak it to (intentionally or not) can harm you by abusing. These identifiers are necessarily given out to hundreds of unsophisticated and often trashy operations like supermarkets, car dealers, e-commerce retailers, and soon (sadly) app developers. Unlike the FAANGs of the world, these people have never heard of cryptography and don’t blink twice about selling Excel spreadsheets for a few extra pennies. But the need to share secrets with them is a technological problem — public key cryptography could serve these used cases without giving the counterparty something to leak.

> that the manufacturing is disappearing

Manufacturing is not disappearing in China yet. Or at least not skilled manufacturing.

Any deindustrialization that is happening is in the low margins space like Textiles, plastic crap, and the likes, which have begun moving to Vietnam, Bangladesh and India - but that was always going to happen. There's a reason why those textile factories in Tijuana or Ciudad Juarez in the 1980s shut down by the early 2000s.

For higher value intermediate parts, the manufacturing base continues to exist in China, but is now competing at the same price point as an OEM in Thailand, Mexico, Poland, Romania, Russia before the war, etc.

My 9-yo son has been making games with GameMaker https://gamemaker.io/

It's a popular framework for creating 2D HTML games and publishing them on sites like Crazy Games.

GameMaker has a lot of great tutorials and templates that makes it easy to get up and running. I usually just set him up with one of the existing game templates and let him loose on customizing the characters using the built-in tools. Then I help him customize the game interactions. GameMaker has two modes: one for visual flow editing and one for directly editing the code. It's a great onramp to learning to code with a super low barrier to entry.
... Or maybe you should avoid both?

Same. Pretty much any instance where he mentions prison groups or classes, it is very specific and emphasizes strongly that they have changed him. And he knows his mail will be read by the prison staff anyhow. The only benefit of the doubt I have here is maybe the groups/classes promote discussing topics like this precisely because they know a parole board gives them consideration. In which case, he'd be an idiot to not play along if he's angling for parole. (And if that is the case, it wouldn't surprise me if the prison system is being duplicitous in telling prisoners that so they can be demoralized when denied, ie. "I followed the rules and did what you tell me, but you still won't let me go?")

This is another false belief that a lot of people have. ChatGPT sometimes wont correct false statements but just as often it will. This is also why we read the source and dont believe anything anyone says without proof.

Professors and chatbots are both wrong all the time and its up to the student to extract useful knowledge.

Uhh, are you sure? I believe "connected users" refers to edges. Otherwise it would be stated as "users connected to the network".

It could explain my misunderstanding, and also seems consistent with the explanation later in the article, but it's also completely the opposite of what we observe on the internet; for example, the value of the web is definitely not in its in number of pages, but in the value and quality of the connections between the pages.
I am not considering to be precise. I don’t think there is any approved therapy or even a professional who will actually practice this safely. It’s an interesting study nonetheless.

If in the future psychedelics were approved as a treatment or if the studies with dosages suggested showed no harmful effects then it would be worth trying if the risks were extremely low and rewards high.

Remember SSRIs are approved and there was a thread on HN a long time ago that ssris side effects can permanently change brain chemistry (https://rxisk.org/post-ssri-sexual-dysfunction-pssd/)

The thing about trauma treatment is that the trauma is so overwhelming that the trade offs might be something that people some would be okay with.

I had also read a comment on HN once where the wife said her husband has lesser desire when on antidepressants but the quality of life is just better overall for him so he would rather keep taking them than go off them.

I am not running towards any quick fix. Some of the Reddit threads suggest marijuana as well. I don’t think it helps though I would be interested to know if it’s studied for trauma and if the results are promising.
No. This is what I'm saying: I would slaughter a person to save my own life.

So would most people.

Many parents would kill other people to save their own children too.

The correct terminology is not self defense. It's slaughter for self gain. That's just a truth you're not willing to face. I accept the reality of the dark side of human nature.
As I understand it the validation happens online to avoid tracking. Nowadays banks and telcos share a lot of information on their clients. So instead of giving out the unchanging personal ID number (containing the date of birth), you're supposed to give out the number of your ID card that changes every five or ten years. Or, in the online world, the bank gets a unique token.

I don't think it will fulfill that purpose in practice. The name plus date of birth is a very good tracking identifier and people will be still giving DOB to these companies.

That's the hardest thing for me is that it nearly always accepts your corrections. It will often change answers even if you just ask it if it is sure or suggest it might be wrong. It's weird to say, but GPT has no confidence. Weird because it spouts things out without concern for their validity, and we might call that "confidently incorrect." But it isn't confidence because GPT won't stick to its guns like a human would. So even some of our common notions are completely divorce from how the machine actually works.

My major concern when using GPT and especially with hearing how common it is for people to use it as a tutor, is that being a novice you explicitly want a confidently correct tutor. There are certainly good aspects of GPT but you're here to gain knowledge. Being a novice explicitly means you are going to have difficulties recognizing incorrect information so you put yourself in a concerning position of becoming confidently incorrect.
The headline here on HN is editorialized for clickbait, which is against the rules. The original title is “Snapdragon X Elite vs Intel Core Ultra 7 155H: We ran the benchmarks”.

I appreciate the mention of Box<[T]>. I've never (or at least very rarely?) seen people using it, even in rustc, although I'm sure there's somewhere in the compiler that uses it. I've kind of gotten the feeling that Box<[T]> is frowned upon as a needless optimization because the one-word storage difference is so minimal, but I appreciate having the immutable size semantics as a way of ensuring no extra allocations occur by way of the methods on Vec.

Do you really think the ~0.5% of drug users who actual get arrested is improving public safety in any meaningful way? If we actually care about public safety, let's stop forcing people to buy their drugs from criminals. It's the prohibition of drugs in the first place that brings the violence.
