Metabase is more intuitive. Also, being unintuitive isn't great but not the worst thing. A project not even realizing that (and thinking the exact opposite) is much much worse. Unintuitive can be fixed with PRs over time. Delusional project leadership cannot.

I want exceptional people to be around the rest of us. Everyone benefits from integration as opposed to intellectual segregation in my opinion.

However, your use of the word "exceptional" is intriguing - I want you to be very specific about what you think of "unexceptional" people - do you dislike us? Hate us? What should happen to us? Would you consider yourself to be among those exceptional people? Genuinely curious!

You shouldn't have had any trust to begin with; I don't know why we are so quick to hold up humans as bastions of truth and integrity.

This is stereotypical Gell-Mann amnesia - you have to validate information, for yourself, within your own model of the world. You need the tools to be able to verify information that's important to you, whether it's research or knowing which experts or sources are likely to be trustworthy.

With AI video and audio on the horizon, you're left with having to determine for yourself whether to trust any given piece of media, and the only thing you'll know for sure is your own experience of events in the real world.

That doesn't mean you need to discard all information online as untrustworthy. It just means we're going to need better tools and webs of trust based on repeated good-faith interactions.

It's likely I can trust that information posted by individuals on HN will be of a higher quality than the comments section in YouTube or some random newspaper site. I don't need more than a superficial confirmation that information provided here is true - but if it's important, then I will want corroboration from many sources, with validation by an expert extant human.

There's no downside in trusting the information you're provided by AI just as much as any piece of information provided by a human, if you're reasonable about it. Right now is as bad as they'll ever be, and all sorts of development is going in to making them more reliable, factual, and verifiable, with appropriately sourced validation.

Based on my own knowledge of ginseng and a superficial verification of what that site says, it's more or less as correct as any copy produced by a human copy writer would be. It tracks with wikipedia and numerous other sources.

All that said, however, I think the killer app for AI will be e-butlers that interface with content for us, extracting meaningful information, identifying biases, ulterior motives, political and commercial influences, providing background research, and local indexing so that we can offload much of the uncertainty and work required to sift the content we want from the SEO boilerplate garbage pit that is the internet.
> but there might also be reasonable content that your platform could still risk a legal battle over

Yah that's totally fair, and like Michael Geist was quoted in the article as saying, the devil is in the details of this bill. I don't know what the letter of the law is here.

> What if -- say, it's early 2020 -- and someone writes a post arguing that Health Canada's official advice about masks is incorrect?

I understand where you are coming from, but I am personally (can't speak for the team) not worried about the legal liability here. If the law simply requires that platforms enforce the current letter of the law re: speech, then we will be just fine. I'll concede again that the devil is in the details of the legislation. If it's a bad law, bad things will happen.

Furthermore, there's usually carve outs for not-huge organisations (this is true of the link tax as well).

FWIW, we've already deleted or limited posts that have been COVID-denialism related when they are disruptive and/or harmful.
That's sounds insightful, but do you have a concrete example of something you've experienced? I just can't picture people feeling liberated by disorganization.
It's up. Though VPN traffic may be blocked.
"outsiders" can often bring a new perspective. There are many people who overlap both the hardware and software worlds (I consider myself one of them having started out in hardware and then moving over to the software side in EDA). Without those kinds of people you wouldn't have the kinds of EDA tools you have now.

> misplaced attention from outsiders and science/research community.

Come join the software side and work on the tools you want to see.
I first thought it would be showing all ideas, about, and now simultaneously, but then noticed all the cards only had /ideas, then I thought I had to do url.com/now only to find that redirected to github instead. Then finally I noticed the little filter button. Kind of feel like the categories shouldn't be behind the button, it's not like they really get in the way visually and with them being the only thing there it feels like just an unnecessary extra click for a common function.

Well you do have that guarantee -- as it is stated in the problem. It's clear that no matter what door you open, you will be shown a goat.

what does this even mean. I guess in the future you will not be allowed to use any rust that uses unsafe()?

I don't expect people to know every single item on the menu and all the ingredients they are made of. What I do expect is if a meal is made in a restaurant, the restaurant ( as a whole) to know whether it contains milk, soya,nuts, bananas, whatever. We have fairly strict regulations when it comes to this, but how they are actually applied is a completely different thing.
I'm not sure what gave you that idea, the title makes sense and the article was exactly what I expected. Judging by the comments this was the case for most people.

One huge mistake that Google did when they were integrating youtube with Google+, was the idea of sharing people's youtube comments with their G+ friends. Youtube comments have always been public, but there was huge customer pushback, forcing them to revert them for this idea, since there is in people's mind a huge difference between public and publicized comments.
For me the use case was trying to understand what directories should I clean from path and if there where duplicates. Just something to help understand if my PATH on Windows was repetitive or not.

I thought there would be an actual article, not just a quote and profile.
Go is positioned as the DSL for microservices. I don't think the language design is fit for this purpose, but that's certainly how the community understands it. In a microservice, "one of your upstream calls might fail and then you return an error to your caller" is not that interesting.

I agree that the widespread use of code generation (LLM or otherwise) is revealing of this tension.
If "enshittification" includes "companies improving products but not making improvements available for free use by others", then it's a meaningless term.
Same here! Love the idea behind this, but of course the big question is was one able to legally provide the content of 14,501 books to ChatGPT? Or there some database that has the content of all such books, and one can license there use?

Turing completeness isn’t really a huge problem (and not included in that part of PDF anyway). PostScript in its printer application doesn’t really have I/O except for, well, the printer, and no raw pointers, so there’s a smaller surface than, say, JavaScript (no network access).
How about the sheer cost of the rewrites? Probably hundreds of billions of dollars worth of rewriting and retesting, if not more. Plus the costs of retraining.

Memory safety is very weak in Rust, IMO. Memory errors are only one kind of error, and users of other languages have invented many brilliant ways to avoid and fix issues. It would be better to focus on detecting and preventing errors than rewriting IMO.
> it just wouldn't make sense in the context of the game show for the presenter (who knows where the goats are) to ever open a door to reveal the car and give you the option to switch

No, but it would make perfect sense for him to open a door at random and - if doing so reveals the car - tell you sadly that you've lost as a disappointed klaxon plays. Indeed this is almost the only possible way that the initial door opening could realistically make sense in a game show; if it works in any other way, there's no tension when the first door is opened since there's no risk!
Obviously it is, just look at Marjorie Taylor Greene.

You can tell because only trials where you chose a goat in the first round can be "censored". Your first pick is still twice as likely to be a goat as a car, but half of the times you do choose a goat on round 1 you won't get a chance to switch. Whereas if your first pick was a car, the game is guaranteed to complete (and switching is guaranteed to lose).
Because most of them only implement inference, duh.
Every institution with a limited number of slots is exclusionary. Berkeley's admit rate is around 15%, 20% for Michigan and UVA, versus Harvard/MIT around 5%, so in terms of "excluding" the vast majority of applicants, there doesn't seem to be much difference.

At the beginning of the Edo period you had some great warriors such as

'Quantum memory breakthrough' may lead to a quantum internet
Does it show eSIM providers that explicitly do not provide phone numbers? In particular, ones whose eSIM does not list any phone number that the OS can see (many "data-only" plans still have a phone number the OS can see/use).

The closest I found on eSIMDB was a "Hide data only plans (no Voice / SMS)" option, but that's sort of the opposite. I'd like to see "Hide plans that have a phone number" for example.

Mainly I ask because Apple-using friends of mine have told me that it's impossible to remove (e)SIM phone numbers from the iMessage database. There is apparently no setting to use to prevent Apple from making a (e)SIM phone number an option for iMessage, so it's important to have (e)SIMs that provide no phone number at all, to ensure that iMessage can't get confused about which identifiers the user actually wants available.

They already have removed their commitment to open-source. It's not looking good.
China's climate change policies are largely about adaptation to climate change, not just mitigation or prevention[0] From the article on China's adaptation policies:

> As Freymann details, these efforts include “constructing the largest water transfer system in human history; expanding and raising nearly 6,000 miles of sea walls along its coasts; building a strategic grain reserve larger than the rest of the world’s combined; carving wetland flood basins in the centers of its largest cities; restoring coastal wetlands to act as buffers against storms; and relocating hundreds of thousands of ‘ecological migrants’ in low-lying areas.”

Reading your question made me think of this article.

It seems like a lot of time was wasted decades ago in the US on not transitioning away from fossil fuels or trying to become carbon neutral, but that's crying over spilled milk. I'm not going to doom about the effects of something that mostly happened before I was born; that's almost like becoming an alternate history theorist.

> I guess my real question is: how do you incorporate all of this change into your worldview and outlook?

To answer your question directly, I just hope more of my generation (generation Z) does less climate change denial or doomerism, and does more voting and climate change activism. And not just for feel-good policy like planting trees, but climate change adaptation, like China.

I've stopped believing in rational markets a long time ago. For the people behind this funding madness:

> to skew markets, skew the financials of big tech and create a bubble in the space.

Are the intended consequences of this. The people behind the money in AI, just like the people behind the money in crypto, don't care if there's a reality to all of this, they just care if they can make a lot of money while the music is playing.

I really thought 2022 was going to be the beginning of tech returning to reality, but naively didn't understand that this would entail a lot of people with a lot of money losing money, and that's not going to happen.

As with all bubbles, the interesting thing isn't pointing out there's a bubble, we've been living in many bubbles for decades now. The interesting thing is pointing out what will make it pop. So long as globally money keeps pouring into US markets we'll see this continue.

On the plus side, at least LLMs are a lot of fun to work and play with!
Do any AI companies actually turn a profit? I feel like the only real winner is Nvidia because they are selling shovels to the gold diggers, while all the gold diggers are trying to outspend each other without a business model that has any consideration for unit economics.
There is no such thing as "privileged identity" in a capabilities based operating system. When you open a document, the application ONLY gets a handle to that document, and nothing else. It certainly can't just then open a pipe to a server somewhere and dump all your documents to it, unlike any random program these days.
Vienna airport is definitely serviced by Railjet trains (Austrian railways' high-speed product) stopping directly at the airport railway station. The same is true for Frankfurt am Main (one of the largest airports in Europe, serviced by ICE trains from all over Germany).

The point here is to replace a shuttle flight from a hub to a satellite airport of an airline/alliance, and for that to make sense, there needs to be both high-speed rail infrastructure from a given city to such a hub airport, and a train station at the hub airport.

Though it barely mentions security https://willcrichton.net/notes/portable-epubs/ is one of my favorite essays to be posted to HN in awhile https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39138042

I wonder how one would measure the costs and benefits (with a focus on security) of speeding up and making more security-driven the gargantuan task of shifting to a better, well, portable document format. People are thinking big and want measurement, eg just posted https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39514844 WH release on memory safety https://www.whitehouse.gov/oncd/briefing-room/2024/02/26/pre... would it not make sense to be similarly ambitious and metrics-driven for this too?
I think it's perfectly reasonable to treat them worse, they're a more malign influence than most trillion dollar corporations on society. Segregating by intellect and cognitive ability has been a disaster for society - I think it's a big reason for why social trust has been declining in America for the past 60+ years as elite institutions become more focused on who "deserves" admission because of "merit" rather than who their parents are (which means now it's just fuzzy proxy for parental preparedness).

It's beyond time we transfer wealth from Harvard and MIT to UMass Boston and similar schools that benefit large numbers of Massachusetts residents rather than the few.

I think as long as "feature flag entitlements" are seen as distinctly different from what engineers usually use feature flags for (small incremental changes of individual components, testing, roll-outs, A/B testing) they can work well. An entitlement should have a clear link to a customer-facing feature, which are conceptually much larger blocks of functionality. One difficulty with this approach is that you still have to take into account a lot of billing-related aspects, e.g., handling customers in arrears, overage charges if they go over a certain limit, having different pricing models for the same feature, or resetting/carrying over usage counters on plan changes/upgrades - this can add a lot of complexity over time!

That's why we decided to offer separate feature entitlements that are tightly coupled to the billing chain and metering as part of Wingback (disclaimer: I'm the CTO). In the end, depending on your plan complexity and how much you have already invested in feature flags, I think both approaches can work well. Having some kind of feature gating in place for your customers will also make your life a lot easier for provisioning customer accounts and being able to offer custom packages.

Are you asking what does (the comment you're replying to) mean, or what does (TFA) mean?

> not be allowed to use any rust that uses unsafe()

Not allowed by whom? What's made you assume your computer will be policed for non-memory-safe code?
Uh what makes this production ready? Are the tests hidden somewhere else?
From the context I believe it means "to be aware of".

It's possible to do something incredibly dangerous because you aren't aware of the risks -- that isn't courage or bravery, that's just plain ignorance.

There's a comment on the article:

> While aline to the risks? No.

> While cognizant of the risks.
No one is saying that you can't use unsafe languages or features when you need to. This press release is announcing the release of a report from the White House Office of the National Cyber Director (ONCD) and it is simply a recommendation, not law or regulatory guidance.
What level of 'accuracy' (however you want to define that) is it that people are expecting from LLMs? At best these are only ever going to be creative tools.

Is it wrong to think of this as misleading? Don't the results for exactly the same request differ because there are multiple output strings with the same computed weights?
