The issue is having made university the institution one has to go through to access employment.

University was meant to be the destination of future scholars.
Going at what? You clearly just have an axe to grind, it's pretty cringe to bring war rape in North Africa into a discussion about censorship of images of jeans in North Korea.

It's no surprise to find literal pro-fascism, pro-Russia, anti-Ukraine nonsense in your comment history. Strange fella.
Thank you! This is super helpful.
I meant more because people are holding objects or their hand is just at an angle where all fingers are not visible in the picture.

I don't understand how neutral networks operate, but my layman's guess is that when you sometimes see hands with 5 fingers visible, sometimes 4, sometimes 3, sometimes 2, sometimes 1, and sometimes 0, then it's not immediately apparent that it means that every hand has between 5 and 0 fingers.

Think of it this way, if the AI has ever only seen houses with a maximum of 10 windows in it's entire training set, is it so unthinkable that it sometimes draws a house with 12 windows? that's a "sensible" understanding about how houses have a variable amount of windows. It just doesn't work for fingers.

I'm sure the same issue would arise if humans had other body parts that came in large quantities, but almost everything else is either 1 or 2 like the nose or eyes.
Unfortunately, the type of people who take personal responsibility for failures in organizations don’t end up climbing corporate ladders high enough to be considered for CEO positions. That’s just how large human groups work where contributions of each individual cannot be directly observed by everybody. Storytelling and making oneself look better start playing bigger role for promotions than actual results. Jeffrey Pfeffer writes in depth about it in his books about power.
They are above the law, in practice if not in legislation.

Tell HN: Namecheap claims I need to renew with them after transfer out
I transfered out a <domain>.de from namecheap to another registrar (with authcode).

Now they sent me an email claiming I need to renew with them, or I'd lose the domain.

The new registrar checked and said everything worked and they have the domain.
> The CEOs that triggered various financialization moves were engineers by background, too

They were engineers by degree. When was the last time they looked at a CFD or FEA model?

I have an EE degree, but haven't looked at antenna or power systems design in many moons: I have no background in them (working sysadmin stuff).
In order to call it "Confirmed" or "Debunked", it looks like they were looking for the original first-hand source, North Korean or not, and couldn't find it/any, hence they call it "Unproven". I think that's pretty fair.

> We have been unable to find the original North Korean source detailing the specific nationwide ban on skinny jeans, relying instead on the Guardian report, and older reporting from South Korean media. Like many things out of North Korea, such reports rely on second-hand sources. As such we rate this “Unproven." We will update this rating if we receive pertinent information.

Disclaimer, I don't care for China or North Korea, and this isn't a defense of either, no matter how many of my previous comments are political.

Ehhh idk. I actually knew one of the famous glassholes (one of the guys interviewed in the infamous glassholes documentary). He was a well known nuisance outside of the Google glass thing, to boot.

He was taking pictures of people at clubs and whatnot and it wasn't obvious he was doing that because the glass was discreet.

Actually, yes, I have a Tesla and use it as my only car. I am intimately familiar with the repair costs. An ICE car is about three times more expensive to maintain and repair.

Tesla's service centers are on average overwhelmed with work, the vast majority of which is warranty work (therefore unpaid) simply because there is almost no required routine maintenance, and most Teslas on the road are newer than the four years that it takes for the warranty to expire. They are incentivized to build good cars in order to reduce the service burden on their service centers.

DID (multiple personality disorder) is far, far more common in media than real life. This game gave me a greater sense of empathy for someone experiencing (a cartoon version of) DID. I don't have DID but I have a comparable condition, and I think I would appreciate it if more people could experience something like my daily experience through a game, to better understand what I'm going through, and so I wouldn't have to explain it. Sadly my condition has far less entertainment potential.

Thank you for the reply! I certainly don't intend to put forward a claim that 3-decidability, if possible, would invalidate the 2-undecidability result; Rather, I believe it worth investigation to see if we allow ourselves a middle road of a paradox category, it's a different theorem and might be provable or at least practically useful.

Would "halts" be useless if it only decided every function except the ones that invoke it and do the opposite? If not, maybe it's worth building, even if we know it's not possible to classify everything into 2 buckets, because the majority of real world functions don't have that opposite property and could be useful to decide halting for that subset.

Also, I'd point out, there is a difference between the inner and outer invocations of the same turing machine. They are different executions of the same machine, on different layers. A decision about an inner machine might be truly correct, independent of whatever happens outside.

Hey Eltonlin, this sounds really cool and I hope you can make an impact in improving access to education. Some time ago I wrote a blog post titled "Professors as Creators" which discusses the impact the Creator Economy could have on education - how in other fields (e.g. writing and videos) creators are increasingly leaving large organisations like newspapers and film studios to create content on their own using platforms such as Substack and YouTube, and how this could impact education next. I think you might like it as your platform designed around these ideas.

My motivation is not financial but rather adding something historic and positive to the world. My time on this earth is limited. A company can outlive it's founders. I could care less about status or wealth, I got a good degree and will probably find a stable job in a law office in a few years - for what? I enjoy the thrill of taking chances and learning from mistakes. What is a full bank account worth if you won't use it? Some people my age buy cars etc but again - that seems very bland.

I live by the motto of collecting things that can't be taken away from me - that is what I have in my brain. Take all the wealth away from Elon or Jeff Bezos and they'd be billionaires in no time again. How? Experience.

100x6 months = 50 years and then you die. Life is short. Why should I spend the little time I have working on another mans dream? We have a danish saying that "Things comes together in a higher unity" aka life is like a huge puzzle game.

What are you proposing then? The CEO not do…CEO stuff? This is a common no true Scotsman argument on HN, where ‘real engineers’ are treated as some sort of shorthand for “someone that has the same values that I do”.
Stellantis, which is the result of lots of mergers that include Fiat, now makes quite a few successful electrical cars. Including some low end cheap ones around 20K euro. And a few city cars priced even cheaper than that. So, they are a bit ahead of other manufacturers that are looking to catch up in the next few years to where Stellantis is right now.

This CEO was involved with the acquisition of Chrysler after they went bankrupt. That combination is generally considered successful and it was a major coup for Fiat which until then had no real presence in the US. Stellantis which they are now a part of seems to do well lately; including in the US where they have a few iconic brands. Stellantis market share grew quite a bit last year. And they are launching lots of EVs for the different brands in their company this year targeting markets all over the world.

Fiat as a brand still exists and Stellantis still has production and R&D in Italy. Though they did announce some layoffs in Italy recently.

I recently had my smart meter installed, the actual meters (and the display) themselves connect over a Home Area Network (HAN) and a separate module attached to the electricity meter connects to the mobile network to push readings.

Speaking to the installer, he said that it's common in the north of England for meters to use radio comms instead of mobile network due to the poor reception, I imagine these are unaffected.

I would define paradox specifically as the case involved in the proof of the 2-undecidability halting problem, namely, functions of this kind:

def do_opposite():
if is_halting(do_opposite):
loop_forever()

That's the paradox function which allegedly proves it's not worth attempting to decide {halt, loop} and so that (and other functions with the same behavior) would belong in the paradox category.
Even pre-tax interest arbitrage opportunities are rare, never mind after-tax arbitrage. Think about it. If you can get 5% by depositing money in a bank, so can the dealer. If the dealer can get 5% by depositing money in a bank, why would they lend to you at a lower rate? The only possible reason is if they've made enough money on the car sale (or indirect money such as future service profits) to subsidize the arbitrage loss. It's fundamentally wrong to think that you can somehow beat the system. What's really happening is that you just aren't aware of how you are ultimately the one paying for your so-called profit.
It is different to monitor how/if your DNSs are running than if the world is resolving your domain/server names, they return v4/v6 records or even if what they are resolving is in the right IP blocks. It is up to what you really need to know.

"the world" is a bit too wide, using some particular ones like in the example may trigger false alarms if they can't be reached or they have some internal problem. But for widely enough used ones that may be something to be aware of anyway.
I strongly disagree. People will for sure talk about Facebook or Twitter in a century from now. Besides - I truly believe a business is the greatest way of changing the world, not activism. Also, why not both? George Soros (Regardless of your opinion of him) is changing the world by getting the wealth AND THEN doing activism. Being the one fulfilling his orders does not sound fun or interesting - being the one in charge (Soros) sounds fun and interesting.
ECS is terribly underrated, I agree.

Most people don’t need kubernetes, and ECS + Terraform is very approachable and easy to get started with, especially with Fargate for compute.
> "If I don't know this tech stack, what do I do?"

If you don't know how to use a tool that does one job, either you learn it or you just delegate that job to someone who knows it already. But defending the practice of having your application code also responsible in dealing with deployment and packaging smells a lot of "coders are gonna code".
It really is not conspiratorial thinking to say there is a huge amount of waste in the defence industry. We are talking tons of cash which absolutely nobody knows where it went.

It has approx 4 trillion in assets. If only 5 -10 % of this is due to some kind of direct or indirect corruption we are talking about hundreds of billion in "waste".

A lot of the problems of Stable Diffusion arise because of using a text encoder that isn't up to the task to encode the meaning sufficiently precise. For example, if you mention the word "green" in the prompt, it often carries over to the whole image instead of the object that is being described. Numbers suffer from a similar problem. Rendering text is compromised by tokenization.

One problem with hands might be that they are comparatively small. The model easily gets the big picture right (head, arms, legs), but hands are so-called high-frequency details and are additionally featured in lots of different positions, which are seldom sufficiently described in the captions of the training data.
There is profiteering, as with any large industry, especially government-backed ones with near-guaranteed payouts.

Disclaimer: I'm not a strong containerization proponent.

The good part of containers is you isolating the thing you're running. I'm very against resource waste, but if I can spend 90MB on a container image instead of installing a complete software stack to run a task which is executed weekly and runs for 10 minutes, I'd prefer that. Plus, I can create a virtual network and storage stack around the container(s) if I need to.

Case in point: I use imap-backup to backup my e-mail accounts, but it's a ruby application and I need to install the whole stack of things, plus the gems. Instead I containerize it, and keep my system clean.

Nix is something different and doesn't solve "many foreign processes not seeing each-other on the same OS" problem. Heck, even Docker doesn't solve all problems, so we have "user level containers" which do not require root access and designed to be run in multitenant systems.

> C (the language) does not cause people to write unmaintainable or hard to understand code

Well then it’s good that OP didn’t claim that C the language causes people to write such code. They said “The C ethos”, not “The C language.” It’s not about the language’s technical requirements, it’s about what’s idiomatic in a language, how it’s taught, and what style is used by the vast majority of the existing corpus of code written in that language.

Look at the C standard library’s function names, vsnfprintf/strdupa/acosh/ftok… Compare it to something like Objective-C at the other extreme, where method and variable names tend to always have fully spelled out identifiers with no abbreviations and a full description of what’s being done (`- [NSString stringByAppendingString]`, etc.)

Is it due to some technical requirement? Is stringByAppendingString illegal in C because it’s too long? Is strdup illegal in ObjC because it’s too short? Of course not! But why do we see this everywhere so consistently? Why does C have short indecipherable function names and ObjC have such long ones, if the language doesn’t require it?

Because idioms matter. If you’re learning C, you’re learning the way it is typically taught. You’re reading other C code. You’re encouraged to program the way other C programmers program. You’re likely using the standard library a lot. Likewise ObjC.

This means two things:

- Yes, in a very obvious sense, it’s not the language’s fault, it’s the programmers’s fault.

- But also, paradoxically, it is the language’s fault, because a language is not just a set of syntax in a vacuum, it’s also a corpus of existing code, a set of idioms, a community of people, and a way of thinking of things. C absolutely causes people to write hard-to-understand code when viewed through this lens.

Your comment has been written in so many ways in so many threads discussing programming languages, it’s absolutely tiring. Yes, you can write terrible code in any language, and you can write great code in any language (well almost any… probably not brainfuck.) Nobody is arguing that. When we discuss whether one language is more readable than the other, we’re always talking about the qualities of typical code you actually see in a language, and about what style of code that language encourages.
It's memo style.

We'd use a similar format and verbiage in the policy and business space as well. No fluff words, no pathos, just plain and simple facts, impact, and path forward.

Australia's implementation of ranked choice system is pretty great (terms and conditions apply; the wankers made it basically impossible for micro parties to exist cos they were mad the Motoring Enthusiast Party earned a seat. God forbid someone who isn't a generational career politician and who is actually a human person gets voted in!). The mandatory voting and actually facilitating that is pretty great, too. I think we've proven pretty well that you can get an extraordinary turnout and still have fascists voted in, so the US govt could just worry less about voter suppression, too.
> Accountability means something en[t]irely different to responsibility. Being accountable means being able to explain the reasoning behind a decision to a jury of peers -- literally being able to account for the considerations that went into the decision.

That's not how I would understand the word. It also isn't how dictionaries understand it.

Accountability means being subject to punishment. (That is, you can be "called to account".) It is, technically, different from responsibility - the word for someone who has accountability, but not responsibility, is scapegoat.

However, it is generally agreed that operating with scapegoats is both morally bad and bad for productivity (and the same goes for giving people responsibility without accountability), so responsibility and accountability aren't supposed to be separate concepts.
