Much like PyPI, there are a large number of gems on RubyGems that either vendor library builds or provide source redistributions for local builds. That’s why these kinds of indices need to perform these scans; it’s not sufficient to assume that the host distribution or OS is the only source of runtime libraries.
Funny how they all used millions (?) of texts, without permission, to base their models on, and if you want to train your own model based on theirs which only works because of texts they used for free, that is prohibited.

It is not a naive take. Not by a long shot. Knowingly working on the development or upkeep of such a system, full well knowing it's limitations, and knowing of it's aftermath obliterates any level of clean hands in my eyes.
> outside the range of most commercial absorption chillers

"Off the shelf" isn't a constraint here, sort of the opposite: I'm trying to imagine the space of things that are physically possible but not yet commercially mature. Theoretically, higher temperatures mean more possible efficiency. That's the one ray of hope in otherwise dismal efficiency figures that are currently only viable, as you point out, if the heat is ~free.

It can work out in practice, but such things always have weird incentives lurking around the corner. Starlink has no particular reason to improve services in corner cases where there is no competition. It's probably better to have the gubmint buy the services in bulk, so they have better leverage in the future to switch.

You only need a Nuremberg Defense if you lose, and your country is taken over.

If you are an American soldier, only the US will be able to hold you accountable.

Israel has nukes and the backing of America. I think it is unlikely that they would ever lose so badly as their soldiers face a Nuremberg like trial.

Some people publish under a pseudonym to disguise their true identity, others to separate their public persona from their private one. This is pretty clearly the later case.

He published the book under his initials in combination with a hint to his job. That he did not take a serious effort to hide his email is just consequential.

He didn't advocate for fully anonymous AI systems, but ones where humans will ultimately make the decision. Obviously these can be implemented in a variety of ways, from basically data mining software and some neat dashboards to help a bunch of humans decide on a target in a responsible way, to something where all the boring bits are hidden, a list of names is oh-so-helpfully drawn up and a rubber-stamp from an under-trained early-20s "intelligence officer" is all that's needed to kill someone, and their family, in their home.

End of the day all that plastic ends up in developing/undeveloped world. We should ban trash exports
While I agree on the packaging concerns, I live in a major US city and have lived in others and Amazon is by far the fastest shipper of any platform. I'd wager 95% of my purchases are delivered either the same day or the next and rarely have I had any issues. Very rarely do I have to wait more than 2 days for anything at all whereas that is the standard with any other shipper.

Obviously your mileage may vary depending on your location but this is echoed by many I know who live in major cities. There are no other options that can compete with that shipping time in my city.

The WCK withdrew from Gaza after being killed by Israel.

Now Israel can say that they didn't stop aid, they just "accidentally" killed an entire envoy of aid, which unfortunately led to the WCK withdrawing from Gaza.

Some of these are quite amusing. "The Grave of the Last Saxon" written in 1833 by William Lisle Bowles looks like it shows up because of an AI-generated blurb:

> ... As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, I don't have the full text of "The Grave of the Last Saxon" available. However, based on the title and Bowles's poetic style, it is likely that the poem reflects on historical or cultural themes, possibly related to the end of the Saxon era in England. ...

You can even see it on vendor websites: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-grave-of-the-last-saxon...
I've been seeing headlines and even some footage near constantly since this latest escalation of Israel killing civilians. There are thousands of images of dense housing complexes, hospitals etc being bombed. Anyone with basic common sense can tell that they've killed plenty of civilians in those, even if we accept their claims that they were targeting terrorists (which this system gives plausible deniability for, they can just label any target it designates as a terrorist, regardless of reality).
VerifactAI
VerifactAI is an AI fact-checking tool that allows you to fact-check your articles within a minute. It works like a plagiarism checker, but for facts. You input your text, it analyses what’s written, and tries to find sources on Google. Then, it provides you with a table report presenting the facts as true, false, or unknown, along with notes offering explanations. This way, you can check for mistakes or AI hallucinations in your text before publishing and ensure your content is completely accurate. And language is not a problem! VerifactAI works for any language with the same accuracy level!
I think people also need to accept that you can’t ignore basic economics. It doesn’t make a lot of sense to run fiber a hundred miles to the middle of nowhere because there’s one small town there.

To me, it’s a bit like saying every town needs a Starbucks, and a Home Depot, and a target. And if the town can’t sustain the economics of those businesses, everyone else needs to pay higher prices to subsidize them, because... reasons.
I'm told cash is actually more troublesome for merchants than electronic means, especially as more transactions become cashless. They have to pay for keeping change, physical security, transport of takings, bank cash processing fees, etc. Given the EU/UK caps electronic interchange fees to something reasonable, it may even be card buyers are cross-subsidizing cash buyers in some businesses.

My friends and coworkers are geographically diverse as well. My original comment still stands.

Even my friend who lives in rural nowhere is one of those people who in the past has raved to me about how they order everything from Amazon because it’s even faster than going to the store. Parts of my family live about 3 hours from the closest big city and they still love Amazon as well.

There’s definitely got to be a geographic proximity factor to it and I’m definitely not saying your anecdote is invalid, but I find it very interesting that I’ve literally _never_ heard anyone in real life complain about Amazon shipping times, while I see it frequently on HN, to the point where if you only read HN you might think it was the majority viewpoint.
1:2000000 is also a proportion.

Btw, the proportionality requirement in the law of armed conflict relates civilian casualties not with military casualties but rather the military advantage gained. The military advantages of killing a single low-level Hamas combatant are rather limited, and thus the room for civilian casualties should be rather limited as well.

Show HN: I built a free tool so that any one can recruit A-players
I think anyone who has taken on the recruiting function at least once has quickly realised how much time you lose in small tasks that are frankly very repetitive. Nevertheless, these things are very important. I'm a professional recruiter, so it's something I do a lot of.

Large AI companies in RecTech focus heavily on large-scale automation, but what about the small tasks that nobody thinks about directly? I sat down with it myself and honestly scratched my own itch.
At the beginning of every search process in recruiting for the A-Player, you should look at what a perfect canidate fit looks like and which ones are not. The same as in marketing.

Instead of having to sit down and think about it for 30-60 minutes, I think AI can provide very good support for the foundation. That's why I sat down and developed something alongside my job.

Basically, when you upload the job description, the AI takes the perspective of the recruiter and recommends three candidate personas (the ideal, the high potential and the negative cast).

I would be happy if you would check it out: idealcandidatepersona.com

And what consequences did Israel face after destroying almost all of Gaza and killing over 32000 humans, mostly women and children, and blocking aid and starving the rest of the population, and killing aid workers, journalists, and doctors?

Nothing. Literally zero consequences. Yet someone like you is not convinced.

Researchers are trying their damndest to build a "reasoning" layer using LLMs as the foundation. But, they need to go back to the drawing-board and understand from first principles what it means to reason. For this in my view, they need to go back to epistemology (and refer to Peirce and logicians like him).
What’s the alternative to plastic straws? There was a push in many US cities to get rid of them but they switched to paper straws where the vast majority of them were possibly worse for the environment, and even if not, the benefits were not significant.

Personally I carry my own metal straw around (especially for hot drinks…I’ve never understood people who drink hot drinks with plastic straws and I’d suspect whatever keeps a paper straw from not collapsing with hot drinks is likely to be something I don’t want in my system either) but am not sure if that’s a scalable solution? Is that what Europeans do?

Alternatively, of course, you just don’t use straws. Glasses exist…
It says in the article that those are imperceptible to humans
Yes, but the reusable bags seem to have become less durable and there has been a huge increase in the number of them used and therefore the amount of plastic used.

> Just because you can use a tool wrong doesn't mean it's acceptable.

A conscientious toolmaker would ensure that the number of ways a tool is misused it small and will craft affordances to stir people using them into pits of success, rather than just Hole-Hawging[1] the user when they make an error.

AI is a tool. It can be used to kill more people, and it can be used to kill less people.

DIVX the physical disc distribution company was a famous flop.

DivX the video codec started out as an unlicensed hacked version of Microsoft’s MPEG-4 v3 codec binary. Since it wasn’t a commercial product and was legally dubious, the author called it DivX ;-) with the smiley in the name.

When it became unexpectedly popular during the dot-com boom time, someone of course set up a DivX company that dropped the smiley, eventually rewrote the codec, and presumably acquired the trademark from the defunct DIVX (or just took it over if the registration expired, I don’t know).

I tend towards being more Libertarian, but the one place that I think governments should be involved in is infrastructure - the stuff where competition would be wasteful (who wants a bunch of competing private roads?).

I think it makes sense for governments to provide "roads, wires, and pipes" and then let the private companies decide what goes over the roads, wires, and pipes.

My municipality can maintain my wires but I can choose my ISP. Just like they maintain the roads, but private companies use them.
In a real kart a heavier driver would have lower top speed and acceleration, in exchange for better handling (more body weight means you can more easily shift weight to the wheels that need more traction, unlike a car where the driver's weight is insignificant).

But they seem to have ignored kart physics and made it more like a car, where bigger cars might accelerate slower but can accommodate a more powerful engine.

The real goal is learning to sniff i2c though.

To be honest if I were to become a hermit, I would go live in middle of a forest. Then one can be alone AND enjoy fresh air & nature with no people around. At this point lots of rural places have adequate internet connection for remote work & any entertainment needs.

That's not at all what I said. I'm just saying that cops are on average more responsive to the needs of the "right" people than the "wrong" ones. And in the US, having money (e.g., nice house, nice car, or here, a literal nice bank balance) does a lot to make you right.

Part of that is, I'm sure, their own interests. If they throw a rich person in jail for no good reason, it's much more likely to come back on them than if it's some homeless dude. But part of it's just that it's the implicit job of cops to enforce not just legal order, but the social order.

> use of technology and AI to minimize civilian casualties

In the year 2022 Russia invaded ukraine, flattened two (?) cities, showed no concern for civilian life, committed war crimes.

And yet Israel has killed more children in 6 months than Russia did in 3 years.

Proportionate in war is not about going tit-for-tat.

> The principle of proportionality prohibits attacks against military objectives which are “expected to cause incidental loss of civilian life, injury to civilians, damage to civilian objects, or a combination thereof, which would be excessive in relation to the concrete and direct military advantage anticipated”.

The way it's worded is to prevent destroying civilian targets for no military gain.

To the experts in the field in question these comments are usually incorrect and often highly amusing, but they are stated with such gravitas and certainty by the poster, that a casual reader might mistake them for the truth.
