>Train your AI's on this first, and make sure it never hallucinates over this issue

The creators have the same noble goal as you do here, but LLMs can't do that. You can't begin with a small text document. You end with it. And you're welcome to feed the UDHR into the system prompt of the OpenAI API - it won't be the fix to the bias problems. It has to go in at the end, because it's only after it trains on massive datasets that it begins using coherent English sentences at all. There's a saying - "If you want to bake an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe" - and if you want to add the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a filter layer to an LLM, you must have the first billion weights it needs to even read those sentences in English and approximate the censorship you desire. And even after you add the final censorship layer, they're still a next-token approximator, and reality will never fit in a set of weights in RAM, so they will always hallucinate. If you want to skip deep learning (LLMs etc) entirely and construct a different kind of A.I. (perhaps a symbolic knowledge system from the 60s) then yeah you will need to manually feed it base truth like that, but those systems can't approximate anything beyond their base truth, so aren't as useful. Trust me, lots of smart people are trying to solve this bias problem, in earnest. It's not a matter of bad creators baking their personal lack of morals into the models. It's more that cleaning the datasets of every troll comment ever made online is an exhausting task. And discovering the biases later and filtering them out is an exhausting task. The LLM will even hallucinate (approximate) new biases you've never seen before. It's whack-a-mole.

The end of the article is really the core...

> Curtis said a previous manager took a more brazen approach to stopping the thieves, physically restraining them before they could leave the store. But especially as of late, Curtis said he’s run out of hope and he usually allows thieves to walk away without even calling the police. When asked for details about recent thefts at the shop on Thursday, the San Francisco Police Department told The Standard it would take 10 days to track down the incident data.

That's a complete failure of law and order imo, you're just leaving citizens hanging out to dry.

Do you actually think this is a non-issue? Or do you think just knee-jerk dismissal of anything related to AI makes you look cool or edgy?
That salary for managing $1B in assets doesn't seem high to me. Am I missing something?

> I agree, and I'd go as far as to say that the author is a bit confused and showing some confirmation bias. Let me explain.

The author mostly cares about rot resistance in a window, though?

New engineered wood products rarely help with this. We have treated wood, but if someone is making an exterior window they'll generally resort to using a rot resistant species (white oak, sapeeli, cedar in budget applications) that isn't the SPF we use in engineered lumber.

I see this with my wooden windows from the 1990's - they're rotting and will have to be replaced wholesale. My wooden windows from pre-1960 on the other hand are restorable.
Agree, I believe Elon gave $50M or so in 2018 with the intent that giving this money to the non-profit openAI was going to benefit people with open access to AI systems. Sam Altman has completely thrown out any semblance of law and how non-profits work and closed down the companies whitepapers(GPT papers after 2019 no longer published) and embedded it into Microsoft. This should be a slamdunk legal ruling against this ever happening again.
It's fun to watch numbers go up. No-one thinks that watching numbers go up makes them go up faster. (It probably makes them go up slower in the long run (lol), by encouraging short-term thinking and planning.)
It does not seem to me that anything about the DMA will make it difficult for people who prefer to stay inside Apple's walled garden to do so. Most Android users only install apps from the Play Store and use Chrome as their browser.
It would be decently hard to find an argument against the 4 day workweek that would not ALSO apply to the 5 day workweek (compared to 6) - perhaps the only real one is "it's what everyone does".
Service Workers (SW) and installable PWAs are two different things.

Regular sites in browser tabs can have SWs.

When the full Chrome(ium) or FF hits iOS (engine and all), they will want to run SW. And, if I understand the DMA correctly, Apple will be forced to make that possible for 3rd party browser engines.
seems like a bad excuse to not even try to go beyond shrugging/handwaving
Would treating the wood (presumably with chemicals you might not want inside your house) be enough to avoid the rot?

Traditional wood houses in Scandinavia have tar and seem well preserved: is that usually enough, or did they survive because it’s so cold to six months a year that bugs don’t even try?

Hah, I get it. No kids here so that's not an issue for us. I prefer Milk Street for the reason you cite, it's just the flip side of the same coin. I can totally see why one would lean the other route.

I'm glad there's both.

If you haven't looked at it yet, I also subscribe to cooking.nytimes.com. It's closer to ATK in terms of recipe style, although they don't have the experimental type angle that ATK, Kenji, etc use.

The point of self-driving is to eventually be better than humans at handling the unexpected because humans are LOUSY at handling the unexpected.

I want my car to be able to see through the fog, rain or snow because it has better "eyes" than I do. I want my car to notice that train I'm about to run into because the sun glare is preventing me from seeing it. I want my car to have noticed the quick moving motorcycle behind me that's overtaking in a lane to my right where it shouldn't be.

A self-driving car that is vision-only cannot get there.
Counterpoint: When hiring people reasonably early out of school, they often just want the additional hours. I know of a business in my area that tried the 4 day work week and they ended up having to open on Fridays for half a day because people just wanted more hours (and money). Without it, the same people were just getting second jobs.
There is more than one value. I talked about two of them, but that doesn't mean those are the only two. That just means that are the only two that I feel like I can contribute anything to the discussion of in one topic. Technically I probably should have written two posts so that discussion of the art created and the scrap value of his collection can be talked about separately.

so I think this is a great connection that deserves more thought. as well as an absolutely gorgeous write-up.

The main problem I see with it is that most of the time you don't want the optimum for your objective function, as that frequently results in overfitting. this leads to things like early stopping being typical.

Hi All!

"Correlation does not equal causation" is a very important and pertinent concept in statistics, and I think we should aim to actually understand the concept instead of just trying to warp the meaning of the words to fit the example

The bug simply was not "a good example of correlation does not equal causation" as any statistician would use the phrase. That's my only point. OP is free to type whatever words he wants into the comment box and press send
Apple Walks Back Decision to Disable Home Screen Web Apps in the EU
I've been really hung up on the irony of "Open" part of the OpenAI name. I figure "Open" must mean "open for business". What is open about OpenAI?
Why on earth would you assume the OP was affiliated with Wirecard?
As much as I wish it were otherwise, it's far from clear that what OpenAI did constituted copyright infringement under US copyright law. I suspect not. But the courts will clear this up.
This is something that will never happen in India because no matter how bad you want 4 day work week theres always someone who will do full 5 days a week and do additional work over the weekend.
Maybe this is an elaborate ploy to make OpenAI truly private and clean up their corporate structure while making it seem like the fault of an evil billionaire/court system.
Small boutique consulting | junior+ Developer | US Remote (some est meetings) | part-time/flexible/1099 | $$/hr

Hi! I work with a small group of developers doing custom software development and consulting for small/medium businesses. We have enough work where it would be nice to have someone else in our team so we can maybe think about more clients. This is a great opportunity for SAHMs, new parents, etc. who want to get back into the workforce in a very flexible way and don't _need_ a full time job, or people who are looking for some supplemental nights and weekend work or maybe transitioning into software development from a different career.

The work is very different by client, so we are always learning new domains, but not terribly difficult, so a year or two of development experience is a great level for us. Our technology stack is anchored in:
- JavaScript/Node/Vue
- GCP/App Engine/Cloud Functions
- Jira/Confluence/Google Workspace

Ask HN: How can I learn about performance optimization?
What are some good resources for learning about performance optimization? This is an area that is new to me, but a big part of my new job.
I watched a coworker completely change modes after buying a house in the Bay. He questions nothing the organization does anymore and it’s almost like watching a politician speak the way he talks about anything in meetings. It’s very transparent and rather chilling. I can only imagine he’s now terrified of losing his job now that he has a ball and chain of a mortgage payment.
It is more complex than that because they cant change what they do on a whim. no-profits have charters and documents of incorporation, which are the rules they will operate by both now and moving forward.

Why do you think that money was spent a decade ago? Open AI wasn't even founded 10 years ago. Musk's funding was the lions share of all funding until the Microsoft deal in 2019

TR got its own full-bank license a few months ago [1], it makes sense for them to consolidate stuff in-house instead of paying third parties for their services. That is useful as a startup with a few thousand customers, as the requirements of actually building a bank tech stack are quite massive, but TR has >4M customers now and makes a profit [2].

They broke the story, so I think if anyone else is carrying it, it will be framed as "new report says X" rather than their own independent reporting.

Yay, love the Chrono Trigger in the top 3. People always bring it up, either to say they love it or that it's overrated. It is not overrated! its correctly rated, it really is that good.

FFVII was great but it is an interesting contrast to games like FFVI / Chrono Trigger. The SNES games came out at the end of their console's lives and made the absolute most of what the hardware had to offer. FFVII was early-ish in the PSX life cycle and pushed JRPGs forward. There were some earlier 3d-ish JRPGs, sure, (wild arms was 1996) but FFVII would go on to define how those games would work for years. It became the prototype, but it also feels like a prototype in a lot of ways. It has a lot of jank. Some of those mini games just aren't fun anymore. The good news is all the stuff they learned about narrative in the previous generations was intact and carried the game where it might have other wise faltered.

Anyways, I still loooove FFVII a ton too. But it's good for different reasons than the later SNES games. Also FFVIII was a lot of fun too, and a much more solid 'game' than FFVII even if some systems were pretty breakable / exploitable.

The Rise of POMG, Part 4: A World for the Taking
For sure Apple doesn't want anyone to know how it has crippled the web for over a decade, prevented browser competition, and just tried to kill web apps once and for good, that's why they tried to sneak this change without even making it public before two weeks after it was introduced in iOS beta.
> We get it, you don't care about mixed DPI, fractional scaling, HDR, non-tearing performance, VRR, a viable driver model for the 2020s, etc.

FWIW my previous experience a year ago was a stuttery mess making it a complete non-starter.

I do need to give it another go though.

I do need to give it another go though.
The downside for that is that it would require growing the trees more slowly, which means, given the volume needed, we'd probably need more trees, probably responsibly grown within other existing forests that already have partial canopy cover, which means we'd need to have larger reforestation efforts, which would in turn have some sort of effect in terms of slowing down the pace of climate warming due to more carbon sequestration... I'm sorry, was I talking about downsides?
Yeah, who knows what's inside of OpenSource Firmware like LineageOS. It's a huge mystery

Also I never needed to wait for a carrier to approve an Update for my Android Phone.
Neither for my Pixel, Nexus or Samsung Galaxy ones.

And beside the "strict" controls, malicious Apps got in the App Store, and the iPhones themselves also pwned.

Are there other Apple Fanboy Horror Stories about Android that you've missed?
And even better, start reducing the list after it's complete, by pushing things like integer overflow into implementation defined; several uses of inc/decrement operators into compilation error; and etc.
Why and How we invested in building a best in class CLI
Instead of tracking the carbon impact of manufacturing, they should track the energy input. Or just track the overall cost. As you said, it is hard to calculate manufacturing cost, and it depends on the energy source for factory.

Then can assign cost to the carbon emitted or saved, and then compare that to the overall cost.
It is possible, but unlikely.

Apple will give per-app prompts for system resources like location, but does not really have an iOS 'app prompts for permission to manipulate another app'.

These sorts of permissions are confusing to users, they imply an execution model where both apps will be guaranteed to be runnable side-by-side (rather than one suspended while the other executes), and provide efficient vectors to share privacy/tracking information across those boundaries about the user.
If OpenAI became a non-profit with this in its charter:

“resulting technology will benefit the public and the corporation will seek to open source technology for the public benefit when applicable. The corporation is not organized for the private gain of any person"

I don't think it is going to be hard to show that they are doing something very different than what they said they were going to do.

> Safe rust has 0 UB

Safe Rust aims for 0 UB, but I don't think you can make the claim that it absolutely has no UB.

This program SEGFAULTs on my system (macOS), because it's reading an invalid memory address due to a stack overflow:

const N: usize = 1024*1024*1024;

fn main() {
let var: [u8; N] = [0; N];
println!("var: {:?}", var);
}
true but as engineers we should sometimes sacrifice and live in the future a bit to maximize opportunity and in the future hardware will adapt to software as it always has
So basically the same as a faang staff engineer?
Great advice if you can get a job in two weeks. This sounds like a great way to get fired yesterday. Employment is adversarial and should not be treated in good faith.
The DMA goes into force only tomorrow.
We will see if they will get away.
I guess they will get bonked, because they apply more favourable conditions for their own App Store.
They might get away if they would charge the fee for all Developers, but the Bullshit with "staying inside the old conditions" will surely get them into trouble
Perhaps maybe do better with software engineering instead of depending on a language that was either written in c or assembler anyways?
Why not though. If you are getting $x for 5 days, why should you not get $x * 0.8 for 4 days ?
