It's not that complicated, really - client-side API controls are not a server-side problem. You are fundamentally not fixing the issue by forcing everyone through App Store review.
Yep, many years ago NPR was quite eclectic and a great way to satisfy my curiosity on weekends as a kid or later at my factory job.

Incidentally, it now occurs to me that HN is basically my current replacement. Even if I have zero interest in a linked topic, I’ll often find a comment or discussion that’s enlightening and furthers my perspective of something in a meaningful and positive way.
I don’t think anything needs to be shut down necessarily, I’m just suggesting reasons why a reasonable ethics board might be hesitant to green light such a hackathon if it’s not clear the organizers have done their due diligence on safety

I might be biased in terms of the safety profile, my background is materials and chemistry, and there are loads of ways you can get into trouble if you don’t really have experience in the materials and synthesis routes you’re working with

One example I’ve heard of from my field (alloy design) is an ML model that suggested an composition high in Magnesium - perfectly reasonable if you’re interested in lightweight strong alloys, but the synthesis method was arc melting, which is a high risk for starting a metal fire if you aren’t careful because Mg has a low vapor pressure

If you’re doing organic chemistry it’s maybe even worse because there can be all kinds of side products or runaway exothermic reactions, and if you’re doing novel chemistry it might take deep experience in the field to know of those things are likely

All these concerns are manageable, but I think an ethics review panel would want to at least see that there is a reasonable safety review process in place before letting students try out random experiments in topic areas in which the models likely haven’t been fine tuned with safety in mind.
I’ll give this a shot. The “new” tabs are awful
Got it, yeah I always get this confused. Thank you.
Golgo 13 on an NES emulator. What’s not to like? Action, intrigue, first-person perspective, side-scrolling, killing, sex, cigarettes, good music—it’s got it all.

Just picked up on what GP did first. I'm one of those weird people who listen to albums more than singles, so I don't always know what's a deep-cut. Deja Vu is in regular rotation for me. Country Girl is the only track I'm tempted to skip on that whole album.
So when I buy an apple from a shop instead of growing it myself, am I exporting apples to shops? No. The apple had to exist before I could buy it. Chinese factories were built by Chinese people and then the west began to buy products from them. We did not export those factories there. At most, showed China some of the knowledge required to build things. That's hardly an export, especially since a lot of this knowledge was taken without our permission and in violation of laws we set out to try and avoid other people getting it.

I suppose "coming up with the idea for something" is a good enough definition for exporting the manufacture of it, but it seems much simpler (and less egotistical) to say that "China used our scientific discoveries to advance itself" instead of "we exported manufacturing to China".
No. It's a problem because you can only have one version of any given package in your dependency tree. You can't have `foo 2` and `foo 3` in your dependency tree. Without that limitation, there is a release valve of sorts where you can incur two different semver incompatible releases of the same package in your dependency tree in exchange for a working build. The hope is that it would be transitory state until all of your dependencies migrate.

Rust, for example, has precisely this same problem, except that it is limited to public dependencies. For example, if `serde 2` were ever to be published, then there would likely be a period of immense pain where, effectively, everyone needs to migrate all at once. Even though `serde 1` and `serde 2` can both appear in the same dependency tree (unlike in Python), because it is a public dependency, everyone needs to be using the same version of the library or else the `Serialize` trait from `serde 1` will be considered distinct from the `Serialize` trait (or whatever) in `serde 2`.

But if I, say published a `regex 2.0.0` tomorrow, then folks could migrate at their leisure. The only downside is that you'd have `regex 1` and `regex 2` in your dependency tree. Potentially for a long time until everyone migrated over. But your build would still work because it is uncommon for `regex` to be a public dependency.

(Rust does have the semver trick[1] available to it as another release valve of sorts.)

This problem is definitely not because of missing interfaces or whatever.

There will always need to be a "wasted" step. The hanger comes off the rack with the hook away from the robot and has to go back on that way. Since there are two shoulders of the hanger to put into the shirt, they have to hand the hanger to from one to the other, and that would leave the hook facing the last robot if they don't do this extra step.
Of course they could fly. Evolution won't build 'planes' unless those planes can fly.

Secondly, just because something is big and heavy doesn't mean it can't fly. Boeing and Airbus have some 787s and 380s to sell you, if you have enough money.

I just couldn't believe all those 'scientists' of the late 1800s when they said 'heavier than air' flight was physically impossible. Obviously they'd never bothered to look out of their windows to see thousands of heavier-than-air birds flying all day, every day.
> Note: These are not NPR shows. They're merely shows that your (and most) local NPR affiliates purchased for broadcasting.

That seems like a pretty fine distinction. If nothing else, NPR makes decisions about which externally produced shows to license. In the end, NPR deserves all the credit / responsibility for what it broadcasts.

It reminds me of the distinction NPR makes (used to make?) between "advertising" and "underwriting". Maybe the distinction was relevant for some legal / regulatory things. But it wasn't relevant for e.g. discussions about whether or not they were subject to "advertiser" pressure on their content.
We’re in the middle of moving so normal meals have been rather disrupted. We’ve used a 20 nuggets + 2 large fries deal a few times, about $9 with tax. Feeds three kids and then some.

I see a lot of single-happy-meal deals, but few for multiple, so that’s kinda been our go-to instead. Gotta go with what the app wants you to get. I much preferred when the menu prices were just pretty-good all the time…

It's not about Ukraine alone, it's about defending the ideals which America and the west at large has prospered greatly from and it's about messaging. There is absolutely no way US ally's are watching this favorably. Is America out of money and weapons, so they can't afford to help? I doubt it. Seems like the actual problem is a cultural shift with the US leadership towards favoring autocrats over those who want to defend democracy.

You don't get to be in charge of the global world currency by ignoring those who want to partner with you while they are being destroyed by an autocrat. It will erode trust.

Nothing is free, especially being the top dog.

I also don't see people complaining so much about the ridiculous amount of aid going to Israel, even though I don't really have a problem with that either because I personally think it's for a good cause. But this really seems to be about votes, and here, I'll say it, US politics being hijacked by nut jobs and conspiracy theorists.

I personally think the US at large is currently the victim of Russian propaganda efforts. I just can't imagine how the US would've ended up helping out Russia so much again it's European allies all on it's own.
I don’t think the solid project is feasible.

If you create a pod and give someone access to information within it, you probably have to assume that they are going to make a copy of it and that they will share this copy with others.

So what’s the point of going to all the trouble of setting it up in the first place?
> If you argue that it makes the term meaningless, then you must accept that the simulation of anything is meaningless.

I think that what is being argued. Put 'simulated' in front of any legal term and it becomes meaningless for its legal usage. 'Simulated larceny' is meaningless. 'Simulated murder' is meaningless.

It seems to me a lot of this is caused by inflation making it very hard for people struggling econimically, and the fall out effects of that for all society. Stop develuing the dollars people use by printing money and maybe some chunk of this goes away over time when people can enjoy the dividend of a productive society.

I think the concept of an Overton window doesn't work well with our modern politics. The window hasn't really slid left so much as split in half and slid both left and right.

The far right now says and does things that would have been completely out of the Overton window three decades ago, as does the far left in the other extreme. It's like there are two Overton windows depending on which wing you associate with, which is why increasingly people find that they can't engage with those on the other side at all—they're operating with different windows of acceptable expression.

I would not expect this hack to fry hardware - at worst, voltage drop, interference, signal distortion, and impedance mismatch will simply cause the device to not work. But I've successfully run USB 2.0 over 30ft cables despite it being illegal per spec, so your idea wasn't radically wrongheaded. "Fried" is an extreme result - are you sure you didn't just connect V+ and V- backwards or something?
> Paradoxically, I think a lot of research is showing that synthetic training information can be just as good as the real stuff.

Which studies show this? https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.17493 shows the exact opposite and my (layman's) understanding of statistics and epistemology lines up entirely with this finding.

Like, how could this even theoretically work? In the best case scenario wouldn't training on synthetic training data make LLMs overconfident / overfit the data once faced with new (human) input to respond to?
Not even close. They optimized for strength-to-weight ratios, which is great for a ton of things, but a space elevator needs insane levels of brute strength. Were not sure the material can exist in our current understanding of physics

Lynch embodies the magical spell of art in such a free and aggressively personal form, it's amazing. And for him, that tends to come at the expense of ordinary narrative intelligibility. But it's not only intelligibility between his art and the recipients of his art; it is also between his art and himself. It's not compatible with a cold, purely analytical approach, but rather with one that is necessarily driven by sensitivity and intuition. Trying really hard to really "decode" it is in fact undoing it, as you won't be able to appreciate what it truly is, artistically; instead, and not without lots of work and head-scratching that will get zero confirmation from him, you'll be scrutinizing the bare minimum of linearity and conventionality that you were able to dig up and rearrange, all of which takes a rather functional role in the whole thing, and even then, it'll be so far removed from the experience of the film and its aesthetic essence, that you might as well watch something else. It's like laying eyes on the most beautiful, weird, intricately built, inspiring sculpture, and focusing on taking it apart so you can see what's inside, only to destroy its true form and value.
> Almost none of a person's daily life is dominated by racial issues

I can't say race "dominates" my daily life -- but as a matter of politics it probably ranks #2 after issues directly related to income (mostly taxes). And I can confidently say that almost all of the negative in-person interactions I've had in my life have almost exclusively been because of race.

Why do you think racial politics works so well? Why do Black women align more strongly with racial causes than gender causes? Is it because gender issues aren't really important? Do you think that if there was less identity politics that things would actually be better for minorities? Or would it mostly be better for the majority?
Perceptions are subjective, though, and in many ways defined by the baseline. When you've been living with constant fear of a nuclear war in the background for 30 years (or for new kids, since you were born), it loses its edge. I'm from the USSR originally, and I remember the shelter drills we had occasionally in the kindergarten - we all had our own tiny gas masks that we had to locate, put on, and then orderly proceed to the shelter. Then there were civic defense classes in school, with diagrams explaining in detail the effects of a nuclear weapon on a city, how far away you have to be to not be exposed to the blast wave and the burns, how deep of a shelter one needs to have to avoid irradiation, how to seal the apartment windows against immediate fallout etc. I can't say that it wasn't depressing, but we didn't panic about it either - it was just a part of life, things being usual, just like they have been when we were born.

OTOH for someone who lived in a world where a full-on nuclear exchange was not considered a serious possibility for decades, suddenly facing this possibility for the first time in their life, panic should be the expected response.
Very cool, clever and intuitive data presentation, this probably the way forward of effectively publishing research findings and help empower those who are not keen on reading research data (e.g policy makers). I will be very interested to see their workflow on how the data transformation from papers to what we see here, and this can be a game changer in publishing research results and findings.

Those who are designing computer based GUI, graphics, dashboard can learn a lot from this animation and interactive with timeline/frequency approach (soon someone will coin a this a special term e.g gamification, etc) because this is how we can optimize the brain to process its data for optimum users' usability. Deep learning AI has shown impressive results values in mimicking the brain functionality based on the human cognition and brain neurology and it is about time the user interface aspect get the same treatment. Excellent books like Designing with the Mind in Mind can be a good guiding principle based on human cognition for effective and intuitive user interface [1].

For the research presented by data it is kind of plain obvious that your childhood upbringing and experiences shape and affect your adult world significantly and considerably. Imagine children from war torned countries that experienced extreme adversity at some point of their life like Vietnam and the latest Ukraine people who witnessed not only gun violences but also all out war (e.g bombs, war machinery, jet fighter) with extreme insecurity food depreciation, malnutrition, etc will be several more times badly affected compared to these children reported in the study that are primarily based on developed and stable countries. Then imagine people who are residing in a continously intermittent conflicts/wars and oppressed regions (without a valid country) for example Palestine people that experienced the injustices and atrocities happening over several generations not years, badly affecting the childrens with family member's and friends got killed prematurely, and some with no parents or worst dependents left.

To think that how the people of the world ever allow, tolerate and even sponsoring the prepetrators of the oppression and injustice is beyond me. I think the only solace for these people in the region is that hopefully there will be easiness after hardship, and there will be justice sooner or later, here in this world or hereafter [2]. These are the sentences that really caught my attention, they say they are the peacemakers, but in rwality they are the real troublemakers or the root cause of the very problems and atrocities [3].

Has the US abandoned Ukraine, or has the GOP abandoned Ukraine? There's a difference.
>Having a lot of money and having loving parents are not related in any way I can tell.

They're not, they serve different needs. Perhaps indirectly related, but having money certainly doesn't make you a good parent. Those are just prerequisites for a higher chance of success. If you have neither you have the least chance of success. If you have one, you're more likely to succeed, if you have both, you're most likely to succeed.
Everyone does. Even as a baseline of "Things that almost all members of it can agree on", our society is incredibly biased in how it views the world.

So is every other society in history. I'm sure ancient Greeks were convinced that they had it all figured out, too.

Fish don't have a word for water. Spend a significant part of your life immersed in a society with a radically different worldview, and it'll be very clear just how arbitrary team blue/red complaints about bias are.

You don't actually want unbiased reporting. It would be either useless, or make you extremely uncomfortable all the time. You're just unhappy that it's got the wrong bias.

I basically read the entire thing wondering "if the TPP was dead on arrival, why is this thing going to fare any better?" Because they're trying to sell it with almost exactly the same kind of motivations that the TPP was sold with (e.g., trying to contain China).

The only thing that hints at an answer is "well, USMCA passed, so this is totally going to fly." Which is stupid because USMCA was essentially a reissuing and rebranding of NAFTA for the temper tantrum president and passed largely because it wasn't changing all that much from NAFTA.

There's just no appetite, on either side of the aisle, for any kind of free trade pact right now, no matter how much you try to dress it up as ambitious foreign policy.

GPT-Neo and Llama were both trained on The Pile, and both of those were fairly influential releases. That's not to say they don't also use other resources, but I see no reason not to use The Pile; it's enormous.
