I think Gattaca is also fascinating for its freshman part in Andrew Niccol's opening "trilogy" as writer (and mostly director). More people remember the sophomore work The Truman Show (in part perhaps because it was the film that Niccol didn't direct), and Simone is mostly forgettable but still worth mentioning in the way it sort of caps the "trilogy".

I think that bittersweet hopefulness and a sense of lightness (humor) in the dystopian darkness of that opening "trilogy" is partly what Niccol seems to have lost as his career has progressed from those first three efforts. It's possible to even blame Simone's critical failure for that, he leaned harder into the humor and got burnt at the box office and maybe over-corrected too hard back to even grimmer, more bland, and more action focused movies. Hard to blame someone doing what sells, but interesting to miss the weirdness and also the bittersweet hope of the opening salvo.
Sorry who is touchy about saying Hitler is worse than Elon Musk?
There is very clear value in LLMs

The bubble is that it is not clear there is a $XXXB business in building or hosting them.

OpenAI is losing money hand over fist, open source models are becoming available that are on-par and so commoditize the market, etc.
It would be much better to allow granting access to only a single repository, rather than complete and absolute access to all the repositories in an account.

Complete transparency and clarity about how data is used, stored, what systems get to see it, and minimizing privileges would be a starting point IMO.

Ask yourself the same question: what would make you feel comfortable handing the keys to your GitHub account to me, haswell, for a tool that I decide to share here?
Enshittification means companies breaking the social contract they started with, and in some cases like openAI completely reverse it. You can't have "Open Weights models" as your tag line and just proceed to become exactly not that. That is enshittification by any standards.
In reality, Monty Hall often did not behave in the way the problem describes, that might be the source of confusion surrounding this. (e.g. sometimes he would reveal a prize and imply there might be a better prize behind one of the doors. sometimes there were only prizes and no goats, etc.)

Show HN: Listen to 3min clips of daily tech news stories instead of reading them
I struggle with wanting to read heaps of stuff I come across on the internet daily, as well as being subscribed to a bunch of tech-related newsletters that I never get around to reading. I made this to get through that content much faster while working or otherwise multitasking. Check it out and please lmk your thoughts!

Also, curious if others also feel this pain of too much interesting content to get through daily. FWIW I probably listen to this for >1 hour daily atm.
yeah

interestingly, this form of argument passing, where the arguments follow the call instruction, was the standard way to pass arguments on the pdp-8. though usually it was just, like, a fixed number of arguments, not an arbitrary-sized blob as in the sweet-16 case

it does seem like it would have been more convenient to orchestrate low-level 6502 subroutines by stringing them together with sweet-16 code than vice versa, but i guess the actual scripting language woz wrote for the apple 2 was integer basic
Go to the NYTimes website, go to the opinion section, at the top of the page you'll find a big banner saying "Opinion" and a byline that describes the author and the detail they're contributing to the opinion side of the paper.

Compare that to this site - no mention of opinion anywhere, the byline describes the author as "reporting on" the topic, and the tail of the article refers to him as a writer for the Free Press, so not traditionally an Op-Ed role. If I were editing a publication, I would feel the responsibility to disclose up front that this author was an activist, not a journalist.

I was kind of reticent to actually come out and say "This website is obviously acting in bad faith and we should actively be hostile to things it suggests because of that".

I tried to express reasonable and valid criticisms of its fundamental failures to adhere to basic ethics, and in response you want to accuse me of approving of drugs and hating people who hate drugs.

Oh no I didn't think it'd make things easier to implement, it's just that the need for a port is quite niche so it's unlikely you'd see it on many laptops, but if you have modular ports that justification is obviously far less a problem

But as I say, I don't know if a KVM module can be implemented over USB-C
"If an army in full plate can defeat a force > 2x its size, it would seem economically viable to cut it in half and armor it."

You cannot really generalize those things.

It depends on the battle site. Heavy cavalry cannot operate everywhere. Not in a city, not in dense forest, nor mountains. And not in heat. In general, armor limits mobility.

Also the heavy cavalry is an elite formation, taking years to train the knights and (breed) the special horses. Hard to scale.

A simple human infanteryman on the other hand: give him a cheap mass produced rifle, drill him some days and then put him into a formation. That scales easily. Then you can also give him a long lance and drill him some days more and any cavalry charging at a prepared position will be a bloodbath for the horses. And once down, the shiny knight could barely move and was an easy target.

But yes, at the right moment, a heavy cavalry charge at cheap musketeers was indeed shocking and routing formations en masse. It takes great discipline holding a line, when thousands amored battle horses charge at you.
Being labeled as dangerous is a strong argument that they are counter cultures.

If you are accepted by the mainstream, you aren't counter culture, just a flavor.

Counterculture isn't necessarily cool or good or safe.

Any string interpolation would open you up to sql injection without a lot of care. It generally recommended to used prepared statements.

I guess the q part is the query parameter for the prepared statement. I’d still be a bit antsy here given the ease of a mistake.

I just don’t get what it’s providing over using my db’s module. Usually the dialect is close but different enough to require changes to queries.
I don't have an opinion on this matter as I don't think I'm qualified (though I am interested in capability-based systems), but your comment is unclear to me: have you had significant experience in a capability-based system?
That's the thing, I grew up hearing stories all the time of people almost dying. It wasn't until my doctor turned us down for an Epipen after our kid went to the ER for croup that he actually explained how rare it was for allergies to kill someone.

Out of curiosity I looked at actual case rate numbers: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5589409/
Less than 200 a year and more than half from drug related allergies. That's getting into death from lightning strike numbers or deaths from chicken pox.

(Obviously, this doesn't factor in the specific risk to someone with a known allergy, or without access to Epipens/care. But still a pretty low risk compared to the attention it gets.)

I also found a statement put out just last year by the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology:

> "Injectable intramuscular epinephrine is the first-line treatment for anaphylaxis. Epinephrine is touted as "life-saving," in particular because observational studies have identified lack of prompt epinephrine treatment as a critical risk factor associated with anaphylaxis fatality. Although association is not causal, few would argue that epinephrine is not the optimal treatment for anaphylaxis, and do we have sufficient proof to suggest that epinephrine is actually "life-saving"? Epinephrine indeed works swiftly to reverse such symptoms of an immediate allergic reaction. However, there are abundant observational data that many cases of anaphylaxis are inherently self-limited and may resolve within 1 to 2 hours in most cases with or without treatment. In this perspective, the intent is to address and reframe the reality of the evidence we do have for what epinephrine does and does not accomplish and provide a perspective regarding the common "dogma" regarding the drug. There is a danger in using terms such as "life-threatening" and "life-saving" for anaphylaxis and epinephrine treatment, especially under the caution of frequently cited rhetoric that subsequent reactions are likely to be progressively more severe or potentially fatal. Use of such descriptions risks negatively polarizing our patients and adversely affecting their quality of life, given these terms can potentiate unnecessary fear. Epinephrine is in fact a wonderful drug, but it is important to not lose sight of the evidence for what it actually does in anaphylaxis treatment and why it is important to use this drug in anaphylaxis, as opposed to an emphasis on what it does not do."
That interpretation requires believing that the host, who knows what’s behind the doors, would sometimes open the door revealing the automobile and ask the contestant if they want to switch to that door. It doesn't really make sense, so that should tip off readers that they've misunderstood the show format.

Marilyn even made this explicit in her answer, writing that the host "knows what's behind the doors and will always avoid the one with the prize" [0]. So readers were arguing her answer was wrong even given this understanding of how the show works.

A lot of healthcare companies are wanting to use GPT4, Whisper, and other LLMs from OpenAI, but these aren't HIPAA compliant out of the box. You still have to sign a BAA with OpenAI and get on their zero data retention (ZDR) plan.

Because of the close partnership with Microsoft and OpenAI, Azure makes it easy to get HIPAA compliant access to certain OpenAI models without having to go through OpenAI directly. This is why a lot of AI healthcare companies were building on Azure at first. Hope this clarifies!
Monty never shows the car. That was stated in the original reply from Marilyn, and it should be obvious to anyone who's watched a game show. Why on earth would monty open a door, show you the prize (which you now can't get) and then ask you if you want to switch your door?

No one would design a game show like that, so it means the question only has sense if interpreted as "Monty always opens a goat door".
That’s the theory. In practice, it requires immense infrastructure to run it, let alone all the tooling and sales pipelines surrounding it. Companies are risk averse by definition, and in practice the risks are usually different than the ones you imagine from first principles.

It’s dumb. The first company to prove this will hopefully set an example that will be noticed.
It remains amusing that this became dubbed the Monty Hall Problem, since Let's Make a Deal did not, in fact, work that way.

Agile, or the "Agile Cult" the author mentions? Agile merely recommends biasing in four directions:

- Individuals and interactions over processes and tools

- Working software over comprehensive documentation

- Customer collaboration over contract negotiation

- Responding to change over following a plan

And also to comply with 12 principles listed here in all their 2001 internet glory: https://agilemanifesto.org/principles.html

There's nothing wrong with any of that, and a lot that's quite good. Failing to take into account the realities of corporate politics and human psychology when you implement it doesn't make the idea bad. There's no cause so noble that it won't have a few incompetents following it.

What's more, there's a difference between expecting someone to change at a healthy pace as opposed to RIGHT NOW, and saying that they don't need to change at all. Implementing whatever flavor of Agile requires growing pains in the same way that getting physically fit or learning a new skill does. That's healthy. A lot healthier than just sitting on the metaphorical couch with a bowl of Cheetos. Just because a bad personal trainer pushes someone to the point of injury is not evidence that exercise itself is bad.

Some things ring a Bell: meta oversight board, disinformation governance board, fact checking sites, counter disinformation unit.

It always work with funding from powerful. Always people at top are nominated by the powerful. The last thing is these boards have to listen to powerful people. Therefore it is a puppet show.

This is probably why companies don't provide more data/livestreams.
Sure, I understand people need to make money, but I draw the line at false or misleading advertising. They had open weights models in their page title man, I hold companies to higher standards than this. Also, I am not convinced open models would have precluded them from making money. There is nothing I've seen which says an open weights company cannot work. They may not become the first kajillionaire company in the world, but they can still make money.
If the format of the game allows him to show the car to the player, how could his personality not enter into it? In every case where the player picks a goat-door, the host will be presented the option to either reveal the car or the goat. I mean, one can imagine various complicated scenarios in which the host might reveal the car exactly 50% of the time in such cases, but none seem like they can be reasonably arrived at.

You confused yourself. There are four possible outcomes at the end, but they are not equally likely. So not 50/50.

If Monty always shows a goat, it is undeniably a 2/3 chance to win on switch.

The nuance here being discussed is whether you can assume Monty would have shown you the goat had you chosen a different initial door just because he showed you one this time. If you don’t know that, then you don’t learn anything.

Edit: actually I misread. You just chose to ignore the cases where Monty revealed a car. Which is correct although most people chalk that up as a win or loss.

Meanwhile, sequencing a whole genome is ~$1000:

Perhaps a lot of the cost is sample preparation, and the actual molecular genetics bit is dirt cheap.
