Surely it would be more effective to reduce every censorship bar to 1 character width.
Perhaps it would look different, in the way that say MacOS and Windows are different, but I doubt it would be "better".

I mean, lots of choices are arbitrary. They're typically "invisible", like the pedals in a car, until you come across a different layout. [1]

visually, OSs like to reinvent themselves (Windows XP, 7, 8, 10, 11) but functionally they behave the same (maximise, minimise, close buttons in top right corner of window).

OS/2 today would look very different to OS/2 then, but probably a lot like Windows 11.

When did Soviet troops parade in Helsinki? When did Finland join USSR as one of its republics? Because that's what would happen if Finland surrendered. Finland was part of Russian empire just 20-something years ago, Stalin wouldn't be happy with just sliver of the land unless he was forced to a compromise.

GP is saying "minimum payments + interest already do the things you list as needing late fees for" not "there should be no minimum payments".

I.e. regardless if there are late fees or not: you can't be delinquent on any debt, regardless of label, indefinitely. Also regardless if there are late fees or not: the amount you're delinquent will already increase exponentially more than just the sum of the minimum payments you missed because of interest.

So some books were banned from being sent by mail for excess obscenity. I find it correct that material that is immoral and lewd for its own sake be restricted in some way.

Another was banned 100 years before the US was founded.

More recently: one book was banned for containing classified information, another for seducing people to commit tax fraud (the author's followers having already committed $56MM in tax fraud. I agree with both of these restrictions.

A more interesting one was Nixon trying to suspend the publishing of the Pentagon Papers, but a court opposed it.

I don't see any actual book banning or burning.

This is simple I'll give it that but it does lack many critical features.

I've been using the Strong app on my iPhone for over a year as it seems to provide the simplest approach to workout tracking with enough detail without over cluttering the UI.

This solution needs more way exercises, particularly those using barbells, dumbbells, for instance there is no lat pulldown in the upper body section.

The solution needs the ability to add in the weight, sets and reps performed on particular exercises. I should then be able to reorder these exercises as part of the developed routine. Once I created a workout I could seem to create other different workouts, or replace/edit the workout I'd just created.

I think these are core requirements.

Then you can add in other nice to haves like timed rest periods between sets. Statistics around total volume, PB's both in a rep and set.

I implore you to check out the Strong app to see a well built app that is simple, not overly complicated and includes key features.
In reality, good basic practices mitigate this risk to almost nothing.

Nowhere, and I criticize it every time. I've even gone to the lengths of trying to find DKIM keys for published emails in the past[1].

But at least those emails were un-redacted. To spell that out for you: in a highly-charged, highly-contentious political setting, emails were published un-redacted and theoretically verifiable with DKIM. No such possibility exists for OpenAI's blog post.

War-gaming this, what if it were legal to pay out bounties with the ransom amount as a war-chest to collect scalps of hacking groups, or damage their reputation or operation in some way?

This tit for tat type response would seem to be more consistent with how governments respond to terrorism, so I'm assuming it would be better to deter future hacks.
It's not just hacker news! They were up in arms about some actual analysis of search quality here: https://danluu.com/seo-spam/

Another common response is

>Your table is wrong. I tried these queries on Kagi and got Good results for the queries [but phrase much more strongly]

I'm not sure why people feel so strongly about Kagi but, all of these kinds of responses so far have come from Kagi users. No one has gotten good results for the tire, transistor, or snow queries (note, again, that this is not a query looking for a daily forecast, as clearly implied by the "winter 2023" in the query), nor are the results for the other queries very good if you don't have an ad blocker. I suppose it's possible that the next person who tells me this actually has good results, but that seems fairly unlikely given the zero percent correctness rate so far.

For example, one user claimed that the results were all good, but they pinned GitHub results and only ran the queries for which you'd get a good result on GitHub. This is actually worse than you get if you use Google or Bing and write good queries since you'll get noise in your results when GitHub is the wrong place to search. Of course you make a similar claim that Bing is amazing is you write non-naive queries, so it's curious that so many Kagi users are angrily writing me about this and no Google or Bing users. Kagi appears to have tapped into the same vein that Tesla and Apple have managed to tap into, where users become incensed that someone is criticizing something they love and then write nonsensical defenses of their favorite product, which bodes well for Kagi. I've gotten comments like this from not just one Kagi user, but many.

That makes little intuitive sense to me. Help me understand why increasing the number of entities which possess a potential-weapon is beneficial for humanity?

If the US had developed a nuclear armament and no other country had would that truly have been worse? What if Russia had beat the world to it first? Maybe I'll get there on my own if I keep following this reasoning. However there is nothing clear cut about it, my strongest instincts are only heuristics I've absorbed from somewhere.

What we probably want with any sufficiently destructive potential-weapon are the most responsible actors to share their research while stimulating research in the field with a strong focus on safety and safeguarding. I see some evidence of that.

Given you were in Accenture, you might appreciate the 'vertical' (those who 'find' work - consultants and senior management) vs the 'horizontal' (those who do work, and their management).

St. Charles will still exist for the vertical, and for the chosen horizontal. An acquisition like this is for the horizontal and once internalised sufficiently to sell to clients, the selling the product not any individual training course which are pretty fungible. Online corporate in-house training's been lagging consumer bells-and-whistles for a decade, it'll be a flashier-better product than current competition.

True personal AI: we are creating a digital clone of me to operate 24/7
my friends and i are making a digital clone of me using llm to see how far we can push the boundaries of personalized decision-making. but we don't want to stop with me. we plan to make these clones for our workaholic friends, allowing their second selves to be up and running 24/7, making decisions for them even during the night. we're creating a special algorithm(not just today's rag, pre-train & fine-tune) for the ai to understand and use personal information to make it act just for one person only.
we've tried a lot of ai products from product hunt, but none really sticked with our lifes. they didn't make decisions like we would.
we've come to realize that the most useful AI would be one that can produce results that are almost identical to the conclusions you'd arrive at after days of deliberation.
another big problem with other ai products is that you have to explain too much. like in the morning, i wish i could just say, "give me those news," instead of explaining everything in detail. we think talking to ai should be easy, like talking to my close friend.
we are making a clone of me right now to test our ideas.
we'd love to hear what you think or if you have any advice. if you're curious to try this at earliest with us, let us know. we welcome your feedback and would like to know how you plan to use it.

Learning the full context before pushing a problem is alright advice. Same with sharing context on the impact of an otherwise hard-to-see problem.

Otherwise, this article is banal. It lacks a strong or unique take on the topic of "Manager ignoring problem I care about".

It seems to me that the placing of one of the points is “exact.” Unless you are working on graph paper or something (but that sort of goes against the spirit of classic geometry I think), there’s no absolute frame in which the first point can be incorrect, the rest of the construction is relative to it, right?

Also, is the inaccuracy around B actually a circle? I think you could easily end up missing that horizontal line he’s added between the imagined “right A” and “right B.” But, that line shouldn’t exist yet, it connects A and B wherever they are. The position of B is wherever your pencil lands.

The second circle seems to have more room for error. You can miss B with the pointy end, and could flex the compass differently from when you did the first circle, resulting in a different BA distance. Although, it should be possible to visually check this.

Is that right? I somehow never managed to take a geometry class.

casual opinion; To the App developer (Mihhail L/@_mihhail?) themselves, to say: Loved just how it keeps itself, everything-from-the emoji of engineering, engi-peeping, mechanical heading–towards focus on screen/container mixed with data storage.

Never certain how it keeps for scrolling; the issue lies in drag, doomscrolls, scrollbar versus tap-for-scrolling… now, on topic of moving on: “a good OS citizen, you should provide many formats”, not keen on everything/too-many Media Formats keeping it sweet, simple; some of these Apps can become almost utility goto. Some of my favourites, include emoji meets paste formatting issues in export. How do they render correctly the almost, "interstitial flickering" change.

Link for the diagram?
The model I was talking about is sometimes called a bidirected sequence graph. It's another member of a more general graph family de Bruijn graphs also belong to.

In that model, nodes have separate sets of left edges and right edges, and the edges connect node sides rather than nodes. For example, there can be an edge between the right sides of two nodes. The edges are undirected, but you can't exit a node from the side you entered it. Alternatively, the edges become directed once you fix the orientation of the node visit. Then the successors of a node in one orientation are its predecessors in the other orientation. Some graph representations have an underlying directed graph with separate nodes for the two orientations, but that's an implementation detail people usually don't want to think about.

The path-centric model can be thought as predicting the token preceding/following a context. Node D may have right edges to >E, <F, and >G, but if you are in context <B>C>D, only >E and <F are available. And if you extend the context to the left to >A<B>C>D, then your only option may be <F. This is a primitive operation that may be repeated a million times per CPU-second in a graph with hundreds of millions of nodes. You often don't know which extensions you are going to take until you have processed the sequences in the previous ones.

Matrices are a useful model when you want to do similar things to most nodes in a graph. But when you are exploring the graph locally in an iterative fashion, it's more convenient to think about nodes and edges.

A mix of brand and content. They'll keep the brand up and running, and perhaps many people won't even know it's owned by Accenture. They'll get some data on the back end and perhaps use it as a method for identifying talent.
> Writing code with the occasional try/catch block isn't too different from writing C and not checking error conditions

I think a critical difference is that in C the program is more liable to simply crash if errors aren't correctly handled, whereas in Java/Python/etc the program can just log a stack trace and keep on truckin', even if the bug is actually quite severe. In some cases a crash is preferable - e.g. if something goes wrong in a text editor while saving data, it's a lot better for the user if the program crashes versus the alternative where the editor runs as normal but saving doesn't work. Crashes in C also bring more urgency for developers to actually fix the bug compared to a try/catch in Python that simply buries it "until I get a chance to debug it properly." (But crashing also leads to a lot of frustration when the error wasn't that important and the C program should have just kept going.)
The link references at the bottom have some more detail on the structure. For example, the N-Category Cafe talks about how the dragon curve shows up at the edges [0].

There are other gross level symmetries due to the symmetries of the Littlewood like polynomials involved. For example, if $p(x)$ is a Littlewood-like polynomial, then so is $p(1/x)$ etc.

I think the "holes" that show up on the unit disc because of the factors of the degrees of certain polynomials. If I'm not mistaken, the holes follow a Farey sequence [1].

I wrote a little blurb about it but it's still incomplete and haphazard. One thing I'm still curious about is how quickly the holes diminish in size.

> The difference is OpenAI had a reputation to protect

OpenAI changed its stance about five years ago. In meanwhile they got billions in investment, hired best employees, created very successful product and took leadership position in AI. Only narrative remaining was that they somehow betrayed original donors by moving away from the charter. This shows that is not the case; original donor(s) are equally megalomaniac and don't give a fuck about the charter.

This looks to be a follow-up to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39607412 and specifically to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39610324. Usually it's best not to post follow-ups as top-level submissions right away, because they create repetition on the front page and take energy away from the original thread.

Generally speaking the good options are: (1) discuss the follow-up in the original thread while it's active; or (2) wait long enough for the hivemind caches to clear (say, a couple months for good measure) and submit the URL then.

In short, it's a good submission but not necessarily a good submission now. I hope that makes sense!
