I've had a similar attitude issue, not due to lack of excitement but just being more blunt, assertive, and fearless than I was as a junior. I'm not a total jerk completely missing a verbal filter, but I definitely have a shorter fuse and ended up getting let go last year for being rough with an inept coworker (politics were against me as a consultant too). I guess I need to cage my rage a little bit.
If TikTok were a Canadian, British, French, German, Korean, Japanese, or Taiwanese company, the US government wouldn't have intervened in the first place.

>does the same they do to us

So you're saying that the US ought to be on your country's equivalent of the US government's "foreign adversaries" list <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_foreign_adversar...>, which includes China, that the proposed bill specifically targets? That's fine. I guess you won't have any objections to the US leaving NATO since you wouldn't want your country/continent to be in a military alliance with such a country.
It is a condition of getting your license that you will consent in that event, at least in the US. [1] It would be interesting if someone who was driving illegally without a license could get away with not consenting to a breathalyzer.

But that isn’t the case for all of the other uses of flyctl.

You can’t make connections with other processes over the same connection flyctl makes when it’s doing stuff.

That is what GP is saying.
> They still lack compared to Pi's support though.

This should be the central lesson learned from the Raspberry Pi by open-source projects.

There will be faster, there will be smaller, there will be cheaper. But if the user can go on the web and find the _exact_ thing they're looking to do spelled out, they'll buy that product, every time.
It implies agency on the part of the software that doesn't exist. It should really just say "researchers ran some math calculations and found X." The fact that the math runs on a computer and involves the use of functions that were found by heuristic-guided search using a function estimator, instead of human scientists finding them from first principles, is surely relevant in some way, but this has been the case for at least a century since Einstein's field laws required the use of numerical approximations of PDE solutions to compute gravity at a point, probably longer.

I don't want to say there is no qualitative difference between what the PDE solvers of 1910 could do and what a GPT can do, but until we don't need scientists running the software at all and it can do decide to do this all on its own and know what to do and how to interpret it, it feels misleading to use terminology like "AI" that in the public consciousness has always meant full autonomy. It's going to make people think someone just told a computer "hey, go do science" and it figured this out.
That's random. If you want better-than-random message delivery you need hn@ycombinator.com.
I think a lot of this is the language used in reporting around it. It is presented as a Ban on Tiktok in headlines and people who regurgitate them when the purpose of the legislation is not to ban Tiktok but require them to sell their American operations to a domestic company. The penalty for non-compliance is to not allow them to operate in the US but the goal isn't to ban Tiktok.
Masks are not 100% effective. Indeed, at it's height the hope was only to slow the spread to manageable levels, the spread was inevitable.
This reminds me of the mid 90s when we first started having servers in the colo and you'd need to give a Noc tech the root password to fix things.. our policy was to always have the most offensive root password so you'd never -want- to give it to anyone... god it was fun...
It sounds like you live in a very affluent area. There are ways to build cities like you live in that are affordable to everyone. But minimum parking standards make it almost impossible.
Obviously the issue that they're promoting is in their interests, but its the same for everyone else. Nobody would promote an issue that didn't benefit them! When Google and Facebook blacked out their sites to stop SOPA, that was because it was in their interests too, SOPA would have kneecapped the Web just as it was beginning to take off.

What frustrates me about this discussion is the way that people take anything TikTok does here and assumes that it's out of evil and malicious intent, with very little proof other than its murky links to China, which feels very Cold War 2.0.
AI has always meant Artificial Intelligence. Intelligent and capable of learning, like a person.

LLMs are not AI.
Thanks! Changed to that from https://twitter.com/GoogleDeepMind/status/176791851558599481... now.
The distinction they might be going for is the difference between guarantees and helpful utilities; good utilities can provide guarantees, but there's a lot to be said for default-safe and a safety culture
No one wants to live in a condo. Shitty coops where your neighbors are a wall away, no land/backyard, no hobbies, no place for your kids to run around etc. No ones cares about a community center/shitty shared space. If you’re outside a medium sized city in the US, you’re less than 10 mins from restaurants and bars from your multiple acre sized property.
That logic doesn't check. How did they get their jobs in the first place if not for their academic credentials and research? Did they just apply with a blank resume? Maybe the skills they use at their jobs one can gain outside of academia for nothing, but that still won't get them hired.

"Every rich person I've met has said money doesn't matter." Okay, but there's only one way for them to prove it...
I'm curious in something like this as well not only for sharing with AI but sharing in general.

Would be great to have a filter for copy paste of logs but also screenshots.

Key would be to identify the potentially harmful information instead of having to maintain a blacklist of secrets that I want to be removed.

Maybe the tool could learn over time which phrases/words I'd want removed.
Ah, when society had shame.
no clear indication that the yokes are desynchronised

Wrong
Pretty soon? I already regularly see people proudly stating that LLMs "aren't really AI" and just "a Markov chain" (yeah sure, let's ignore the self-attention mechanism of transformers which violate the Markov property).

For the sake of my sanity I've just started tuning out what anyone says about AI outside of specialist spaces and forums. I welcome educated disagreement from my positions, but I really can't take the antivaxx equivalent in machine learning anymore.
It is either part of democracy or trying to manipulate democracy, it can't factually be both for obvious reasons, I agree, contacting a representative is part of the democratic process and has been a practice happening forever.

Trying to manipulate democracy would be involving actions that aren't part of an accepted democratic process, like telling your supporters to go to assault Capitol Building and them showing up with assault rifles and pressure elected officials

Machine learning has taken huge leaps but the expectations for it are getting blown out of proportion. The use is going to increase for sure but there are many weaknesses in the technology that tend to be overlooked.

E.g. autonomous driving already proved too hard a task for ML for the foreseeable future. Also "hallucination" is a problem with no clear solution in sight.
Where is this quote from ?
> LLMs are not AI.

Neither are neural networks, by that definition. Or 'machine learning' in general. They all have been called "AI" at different points in time. Even expert systems – that are glorified IF statements – they were supposed to replace doctors.
Your article made me laugh, it's exactly the process a full-stack programmer goes through when learning new technologies, it's one rabbit hole after another.

At first I was very stressed with each new rabbit hole that appeared, but over time I found a joy in learning new things all the time, but as you gain more experience, the problems become easier to solve.
Of all the companies you chose those 2?

Curiously I was specifically thinking of people that worked in LM.

One worked there for decades, didn't want to manage people and they just kicked him to the curb.
// Your perspective amounts to existing residents extracting all the economic value in a location simply because they bought land there first.

I think people mainly think of it as "their home and their community" rather than "economic extraction"

// calculated 50% GDP losses in the US because of large metro areas being too expensive to move into

Doesn't that strike you as obvious bullshit?
China also continues to trade with the US despite Russian sanctions on the US.

Does this mean China is effectively at war with Russia too?

Where did you pull this “taxonomy” from?
I don't want to pile on in this subthread, just want to say that the reason I changed the URL on the current thread rather than re-upping your post (as we normally would when the better URL was posted by someone else earlier) is that it was the OP's first submission to HN and I like to encourage newer participants.
Any such notes are most likely rewritten form of rougher notes written elsewhere. Then again, it's not difficult to write without making a mistake.

Think about musicians who improvise for quite a long time, playing hundreds of bars, while never playing a wrong note.
I tried to use a Google Coral. I have no idea how to make it work. I could follow a tutorial using tensorflow. I could not figure out how to use for anything else. Is there some way to run CUDA stuff on it? I always assumed it required someone with actual skills (not me). I have used CUDA stuff before, but more for mass calculation and simulation (for financial stuff). It is great when it works. I worked at a shop that had these Xeon Phi systems that worked great, but I had no clue how, and it only worked with their pre-canned tools.

Just as an example, over a decade ago I replaced a few cases filled with racks and a SAN that made up a compute cluster with one box (plus SAN) and a backup box (both boxes were basically the same in case one failed), but basically like dozens of servers were replaced by a two CPU box with a couple Tesla cards (probably one A100 later). The entire model had to be re-written, but it was not that bad. I wanted to do with AMD cards, but there was no easy way.

I would also say that modern networked has made all kinds of stuff more interesting (also lining Nvidia's pockets). Those TPU's do not make sense to me. I have no idea how to use them. They should release their version of CUDA.

> People live longer. An then parents die (70+), they kids ( avg. 2) are at the age of 55+. At that point they housing situation is figured out.

That's exactly what I mean when I say people end up with two homes. In fact, if the home was given to children not owning their home, we would still be in the wealth illusion situation.

> However in Canada what I see is that houses were reverse-mortgaged to supply income on pension and/or live in a retirement home, and thus my friends got trivial inheritances in a tune of tens thousands of CAD dollars after estate liquidation.

This is not something we see a lot in my country (France) because so far we had decent pensions… But obviously situations vary a lot between countries.
You can get your data from LexusNexus or opt out and delete data if you're in a state that mandates the option (such as CA) here:

Yeah, seems so.

So the tests are good as confirmatory devices. But yeah, it was extremely unserious when they were used to gatekeep public events, etc. The reasonable presumption has always been that transmission of respiratory pathogens will occur at public events (which is a strength: humans are quite good at quickly acquiring community immunity - it's one of the reasons our species is so incredibly robust against respiratory pathogens).

This may be changing. You see a growing awareness of the shabbiness of certain American norms in parts of so-called "populist" circles (left and right).

> Discrimination is what happens when you don't have good measurement for capability.

This is obviously not the general case for discrimination, often it flies in the face of good measurements. Do you mean in this particular case, that because we don't have good metrics for developers, discrimination easily slips in?

Storybook is great and all, but these days nearly every Dependabot alert I get is about a sub-dependency of Storybook. Since Dependabot doesn't currently allow you to ignore dev dependencies and only check production dependencies [0], this makes Storybook a Big Noise Generator and every time I dismiss another alert from it, I can't help but wonder if there's a better option out there.

It's digital crack. My mind melts when I see what's going on there (American social media too though).

Surely letting someone make your populace addicted and/or stupid is problematic? In a way I consider it China's late payback for the opium wars.

we had no problem building houses for people in the 50s and 60s. Why all the sudden we can't do it in the last 20 years? There's plenty of land out there. Even in the CA, the most densley populated state, there are more acres in CA than people and yet somehow there's a huge land shortage and ridiculous amounts of regulation. Even 100 miles away from the city, you'll see houses squeezed together like some kind of concentration camp, with open land in every direction and a 5 lane highway to service the equally insane commuting distances created by these land use policies: talk about terrible for the environment.
The Dichotomy of Engineering for Creativity
I have been working in VFX/Games/Design for over a decade and recently felt the urge to put all the things I have learned so far about building products for creative endeavours into a post.

Building tools for creative endeavors is a unique challenge. It is a place where rigorous engineering meets the boundless creative process. The inherent contrasts and complementary forces between the systematic approach of engineering processes and the inherently chaotic nature of the creative process is a unique dichotomy that I love being in the midst of.

Your argument is that an app which is indirectly owned and influenced by the Chinese Communist Party is a conduit for free speech and the US government banning it would be infringing in your free speech... is a strange hill to die on.
Reston, VA - for new construction, we see a mix of large SFHs (3000-6000sqft), large THs (2500-4000sqft), and mid-rise and high-rise apartments (vast majority of which are 1-2 bed).

What's missing is smaller apartment blocks (4-8 units), small THs or SFHs (<3000sqft), or duplex/triplex/etc.

That is beginning to change, largely as a result of rezoning around the Metro corridor. More mixed use, more low-rise condos. But, this is limited to areas that are suitable for complete redevelopment (mostly old low-rise offices within 1/2 mile of a Metro station).

Nuking the SFH zoning to allow market forces to drive development outside the immediate Metro-adjacent plots would help. Allows ADUs and "granny flats". Allow a SFH to be split into a duplex or rebuilt as 3-4 THs. Etc.
They can compete the exact same way that those tech companies compete with each other: compensation.

Pay more, or offer enough other perks to entice employees. Teachers already have a massive perk in the fact that they work ~1/3rd fewer days than other jobs. That's a great draw, if you can offer good enough compensation to get over the "not making enough money to live a comfortable life" threshold.

If people will risk their lives as cold-water crab fisherman for the right price, there's certainly a price to put up with highschoolers.
> Apparently some kids were calling crying saying that they will kill themselves if they ban the app. Absolutely crazy.

Darwinism.
baby steps.
Still impressive.

AlphaGo was strait up same.

AlhaStar did have some limits placed to narrow it down for the AI. But was still imperfect information, and wildly complicated.

And those were all 3+ years ago.

Games are a lower resolution representation of the 'real' world.
And we haven't seen any slowing down of AI scaling up for more and more complex world views.

Eventually the 'map' will be the 'real', as real as the human brains internal map of reality.
No, it is to talk apples vs. apples about the upper argument on USA having propaganda only internally.
I didn’t see my games/programs get spread like that exactly but I got my start on the TI-84+ SE and spent a ton of time on ticalc (can’t remember if it was .com or .org) forums and uploaded programs and games to their archives.

I wore the buttons off my calculator and did 90%+ of my programming on it (only used the desktop app to write and push code to the calculator near the end of my time using it). Then I took a HS class on Java, taught myself PHP, and never really looked back to my calculator. TI-BASIC was a great start but so limiting once I discovered other languages.
In the US? Very likely. And given the status of NYC and the US in the world, even that is embarrassing.
These are the authors of this paper:

https://wilkinsonpickett.com/

1) This is not a peer-reviewed research paper. This is commentary, maskerading as a peer-reviewed research paper. This article is not science, and the authors have explicitly chosen this, they don't claim it's science (yes, nature has a commentary section), or at least they don't claim it's even their intention to satisfy the standards demanded of papers in Nature. They're not even attempting that.

Presumably, that means this publication does not in fact satisfy the normal requirements to be published in Nature.

Nature, the (now many) magazines have a bunch of sections that only have to do with Nature, the company, and not with science or peer-review. The editorial, the commentary, the Q&A and I'm sure that's not all of it.

2) These people are sociologists. Sociology makes no claim to be politically neutral, and therefore the criticism that it's political is quite justified, even against the entire field. Of course, also doesn't mean it's wrong, but sociology is a science that, if you put it very directly, "isn't about being correct".

To be fair, both authors are academics boasting credentials outside of sociology. Medicine, economics, ... very impressive careers. Which is probably why this was published.
I suppose what I'm missing then is why you ever need to switch from nix shell to (your just etc. -less) nix develop environment?

Is it that the latter is for actually building/running the debug build locally, like a `docker compose up --build` for example? i.e. it's the environment the thing you're working on runs in, but you working on it run in nix shell (with just, git, docker compose in that example, your editor, etc.)?
I’m not sure the implication that those of us who don’t enjoy sharing walls are immoral racists is particularly justified.
The former was the original use for "AI". The latter was called "machine learning" largely to contrast it with "AI" whose reputation had tanked due to hype.

They would never list healthcare on the general purpose version anyway, since there is a separate specific certification for that. The only difference is better fluid protection, which is irrelevant to the given threat model. They do indeed sell that.

> Exactly. If you want to study archeology, good luck finding a 500K salary in industry. Academia might be your only option, full stop.
