Once saw a terrible movie that started with a similar premise. I dislike giving any machine the agency to decide when to choose to kill. I feel like that way lies danger. I feel that laundering the burden of death through a machine distasteful.
Seeing lampreys attached to the observation window at the Bonneville Dam fish ladders is memorable as a kid.

Sounds like Gary Oldman giving an interview about any character he has played in a movie!
Upvoting and downvoting are a form of group communication, and I use them both with that intent. Just like you structure an individual post to have coordination and logical flow, a community structures a thread using voting to push relevant comments worth reading to the top and keep comments that are less worth reading towards the bottom. Flagging says "this comment/post should not exist," while downvoting here only says "the value of reading this comment is comparatively low." It's pretty straightforwardly the opposite of upvoting ("the value of reading this comment is comparatively high").

This usage is subtly different from the more common meaning of upvoting/downvoting elsewhere, which is "I like/dislike this," and the HN community goes to great lengths to try and remind people of that difference (with obviously less than perfect success - it's very ingrained!)

Personally I try to only downvote when I think a comment is of low conversational quality, not just because I disagree with it. That usually involves me believing that the poster is posting in bad faith, is being too emotional to convincingly convey a point (when relevant), is flat out factually incorrect, etc. I will also usually throw in a downvote on things I've flagged (spam) just to get the comment a little more out of the way before it gets completely killed by flags.

As to a deeper "why," I think the reason is the same as participating in any other form of communal conversation. We're all just trying to convey valuable information to each other, whether that's by authoring text or influencing rankings of existing texts. Whatever drives you to write and comment is also what should drive you to vote.
Rough times for figuring out how to deal with so much information.

I wonder how much other platform providers do. I feel they all have their hearts in the right place, but eventually I’d get sick of the headache and just bow my head to advertisers and governments.

I have a lot of respect to all the platform providers who are rolling in cash and could be rolling in more but decide to try to do the right thing. I do expect them to do more than the many who are not rolling in cash and fumbling it all up but I’m an optimistic guy.

We live in interesting times.

(hacker news, yes this website, was? probably still is? monitored by US authorities because it used the keyword ‘hacker’)
So far as I understand workings, that may be true in a strict sense, but algorithms and various site affordances can be at play. HN specifically penalises certain sites, and possibly keywords or themes.[1] And there are algorithms such as the flamewar detector which can kick in for specific threads.[2]

Much as a subsidy may be seen as an inverted penalty, an inverted penalty is a promotion.

That's a niggling argument, but in the interests of fairness and transparency, possibly worth noting.

There's also the 2nd chance queue, as noted in this thread here: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40069963>. Though that's a manual, and not automated or algorithmic, adjustment.

I'll also note that this Mostly Seems to Improve Overall Site Quality, and I'm not criticising the practice, but clarifying it.

What a pedantic take. I’m sure you would prefer a lot of things, but changing the title of an article you didn’t write or publish is a stretch. The articles showing off a very interesting aspect of nature and ‘one of [the] cleverest inventions’ is a fine headline without questioning how many other ‘inventions’ have occurred that might also be clever in the hopes of changing it. They’d also be ‘one of the cleverest’ if and when they get their own article.

I thought this was a aaron comment at first, then I saw a reply button, and whitewashed comment below.
The vagaries of operating a US corporation in other countries is quite intriguing. But what's even more interesting is that the Network State is beginning to supersede legacy institutions in terms of both soft and hard power. It must be terrifying to the stakeholders of legacy institutions globally, not just here in the United States.
I feel a dystopian future. Never underestimate what our fellow humans can do.
But what would you have them do instead of FA? I think we're partially agreeing here, but my thinking is that no analytical technique on its-own will be a panacea whether the users really understand it or not. Why would increasing their understanding of the technique affect what they do, when there's not really any other truly different methodological alternative?
I don't think it's evil, but I think it generates bad code that I have to fix all the time. It's very annoying when developers use it to effectively copy and paste code snippets that should be wrapped in a function and then the bugs that Copilot drops in have to be fixed in twelve places instead of one.
Makes sense!

My gut tells me that it would often make sense to jump straight to shuffle sharding, where you'd converge on fair solutions dynamically, in a lot of cases. I'm looking forward to that follow-on article!
Doesn't just apply to EKS - we are currently going through the same thing with MySQL on RDS. It's a big jump in support cost, but at the same time, I understand why they are doing it.
Apprentice plumbers get paid because they do economically valuable work. As someone learning to code you're not doing anything valuable so you don't get paid.

The reason why coding pays so well is because it's IQ-gated in a way that plumbing isn't. An 80 IQ person can be a competent plumber but couldn't do well in most coding jobs.
Ask HN: Should I build A.I. Daily Update Tool
This is what I'm thinking of building:

1. Screenshot captured each minute
2. OCR extracts text
3. LLM converts text to a summary of what you were working on at that exact moment
4. LLM Summarizes the summation of the summaries into a daily update
5. Slack integration so you can decide to share the update or not on Slack

Tech stack: MacOS & Apple Silicon
Privacy: Screenshots stay on device, OCR text is sent to OpenAI model for summarization
Workflow: Install the app, approve Slack integration, set time for daily update, and wait to get your daily summary (as a DM in Slack), you can edit / approve the message

Open to any / all feedback. Thanks! :)
Calling AJ or WP established news organizations is like calling water dry. They're both propaganda arms of the same type of people who have never had a good thing to say about Jews.

AJ in particular is literally owned by the very people harboring and funding Hamas. while WP is owned by and run by the same people who chant "from the river..." and talk about the Nakba and the innocent palestinians without any irony. These are people incapable of understanding the actual facts on the ground either because they've been totally brainwashed or like in your case, their jobs prevent them from accepting rational arguments.
Runtime functions (eg dyn Trait) can’t be inlined for one, so this would help there. But also if you can make calls cheaper then you don’t have to be so aggressive with inlining, which can help with code size and compile times.
Additional Advices
A relevant corollary to this story is that Michael Shellenberger, a Musk-adjacent journalist who alleged that de Moraes had made illegitimate requests to Twitter for information, has now admitted (in Portuguese) to factual errors in his story.

Sometimes we have the clinical context, usually if practicing in a large hospital system with an integrated EMR. It's not usually so neatly summarized though; maybe if we are lucky we can quickly glance through relevant notes at the time of scan interpretation.

However, healthcare in the US is very fragmented. Many patients seek cheaper imaging at freestanding imaging centers. Those places often don't have the same HIT integrations to have similar medical context.

And in those settings, I only know what's on the images and maybe 200-300 characters on the "reason for study" box.

This is not to say I think everyone should get scanned at expensive sites; more an indictment on how annoying the current EMR situation is.
I don’t understand how the idea of open source become some sort of pseudo-legalistic purity test on everything.

Models aren’t code, some of the concepts of open source code don’t map 1:1 to freely available models.

In spirit I think this is “open source”, and I think that’s how the majority of people think.

Turning everything into some sort of theological debate takes away a lot of credit that Meta deserves. Google isn’t doing this. OpenAI sure as fuck isn’t.
Stealth?
Now he starts to look like a proper redneck with that necklace.
> Can someone explain simply where does MLIR fit into all of this?

It doesn't.

MLIR is a design for a family of intermediate languages (called 'dialects') that allow you to progressively lower high-level languages into low-level code.
Why is it to hard to make an account on X/Twitter?
I have tried each of X’s signup methods on mobile and desktop and none of them worked. Has anyone else had this problem?
That's... a weird metric. Why do you need to drive 1000 miles on one charge? Are there any gas cars that do that? Seems even a Toyota Camry is unable (700 miles). That's like a 15 hour trip, too... why do you need to do it without any stops? Are you planning on wearing a diaper?
I would have thought it would be too dark to see anything.
The "passive income" meme does not help people invest better. If you want income from assets, Treasury bill rates exceed 5%. To earn more income you need to take risk. A stock that yields 5% may not be a better investment than a stock whose share count shrinks 5% annually due to buybacks. Total return matters more than "income".
Yeah I like that video too. His public speaking and body language in it is also clearly a product of professional training. I assume he's received professional presentation training for most of his career. But it seems to have recently clicked for him, something which I attribute to hiring a new team, although I could be wrong.

Who's hiring that's impactful, doesn't suck, and isn't morally bankrupt?
I'm sick of looking at applications for another AI startup, hedge funds, HR platforms, defense contractors, "reinventing healthcare," etc.

Are there SWE or SWE-adjacent roles that make you feel like you're doing something good for the world? Like you're helping and not just slaving away to line a billionaire's pockets, mint a new one, or reinforce the enshitification of the world?
In the model card they say they dont train on any user generated data
maybe because men already have representation in films, board rooms, etc?
What an absurd thesis. Saying that the growing power of the early modern state brought about religious freedom is like saying the growing reliance of the southern economy on cotton brought about emancipation - the newly powerful state was what people needed religious freedom from! Of course religious persecution has always been a thing, but in pre-modern times it was sporadic. Early modern states as a rule ramped up religious persecution in an effort to centralize and increase power. Indeed the modern concept of the state sovereignty stems from the Peace of Augsburg which made internal religious unity a state affair. Virtually every conflict both between and within states in the early modern period is at least partially over religion. Europe basically destroys itself in the 30 years war fighting over religious supremacy until states are so worn down by conflict that they have to compromise in the peace of Westphalia to grant some rights to minority religions, though even this is a far cry from what we think of as freedom of religion. For example 40 years later there is the Glorious Revolution in England as the English parliament asserted its supremacy by ousting a catholic monarch for a protestant. States granted limited religious tolerance where they lacked the means to maintain control without it - for example the Quebec Act of 1774 which was an effort to prevent unrest in Britain's newly acquired territory by permitting the continued practice of catholicism. Genuine religious freedom was first ushered in by revolutions (which took heavy inspiration from enlightenment philosophers) overthrowing or seriously curtailing the power of the preceding states, generally with the state support for a particular religion being a major instigating factor in the revolution, and still remained the exception to the rule. Only once the industrial revolution was well under way do states begin to shift from pragmatic toleration of religious minorities to actively supporting religious freedom. And of course this is assuming you are talking strictly about the parts of the West which embraced enlightenment ideals and liberalized - persecution of religion to assert and maintain state power remained a common strategy throughout the 20th century.
^this

But not just the US.

The US, The UK, My own Australia and more than anything CHINA.

They're all printing money. Stealing from the future.
> In fact, life expectancy is lower in the US than it is in, even the UK, at every income level. So for some level of medical care you may actually do better outside.

This only makes sense if one assumes a society’s medical care is the main driver of its population’s life expectancy rating.
Welcome to API Developer Weekly
I think the parent is pointing out that if the signature has to be both syntactically and cryptographically valid, then this would defeat the fuzzer for obvious reasons.

But I don't think it does, for this vulnerability. The signature is checked last.
Incredible read. I'm a trained olive oil panelist and the olive oil community has always made very strong claims on the evil of seed oils and he benefits of olive oil.

The question I still have is: is olive oil healthier than seed oils (which aren't really that bad based on current evidence)?
> But a better question might be what should comp look like for non-profits?

I've looked into this a bit. The true answer is extremely unclear.

General public has a mentality that if you work at a non-profit you should give everything to the cause including your salary.

This only gets the most loyal people to the cause, but just because you're loyal and willing to work a lot doesn't mean you're effective. What about those people who are actually effective but demand a higher salary? And honestly speaking, they deserve it.

So if you're unwilling to compensate at a level even close to industry your talent pool shrinks really fast, and many times, smaller than those who are effective.
It's like Elon saying: we have open sourced our patents, use them. Well, use the old patents and stay behind forever....
Yes. The way education makes big money is through job-placement, legal compliance (food safety, sexual harassment training etc) and promises of higher pay. Certifications, credentials, upskilling, the value proposition is you'll make more money at your job. It's not about learning.

This isn't a moral argument btw, i'm making sure of it because I used to be really into edtech [1]. There's no money in education, only its commercial outcomes. Education for learning is a public good.

bootcamps cannot deliver placement at scale because the premise is flawed. anyone and everyone cannot learn to be a professional coder in 10 weeks.

Anyway, so the coding bootcamps spread like wildfire because they implicitly or otherwise promise high paying careers that anyone can do, all over the internet, in 10 weeks, for a fraction of college tuition.

Only for Apple, though.
Thanks for sharing my blog post! Sorry to hear you didn't find it useful, but I still appreciate you reading it with a critical eye.

I also agree with you, full disc encryption is not only a good way to potentially increase privacy for many machines in many use cases, but it is also a great way to improve your security. If someone is using a laptop they carry around from place to place, disc encryption is a great safeguard as long as their machine doesn't get lifted while it is still powered on and unencrypted.
As another data point relevant to this thread... average male height in Mexico is 172 cm. Being 185 cm puts you in the 95th percentile of men.

What does the “free ride ends” mean? If you mean you can’t use the next model they might release after you have reached that many users, sure that might be true. It is not true that you have to pay for the already released llama 3.

I don’t care what Zuckerberg says. I care what the licence says. I recommend you to read it. It is shorter and more approachable than the usual rental agreement of a flat.
To be fair, this is on Amazon. I don't give a damn if Google reads generic price lists in my email - spreading price info is good for me, the end consumer.
Humans must have similar things. I remember attending a soccer game, rather ambivalent about it since I wasn't a fan. However when our team scored, and the crowd erupted into celebration, I suddenly found myself standing up and roaring along with everyone else. It was like I had been hijacked. It felt great, definitely, but it was also unsettling.
Yes, it is mentioned in the article and it even has that link:

> However, the kitty keyboard protocol has been widely adopted by both modern terminal emulators and terminal applications. Terminals which support the kitty keyboard protocol (to some degree) include Wezterm, Alacritty, kitty, foot, Ghostty, and iTerm2.

> Applications which support the kitty keyboard protocol (to some degree) include Vim, Neovim, Helix, kakoune, and nushell. This means that when using one of these applications in one of these terminals, all of the key encoding problems discussed above (as well as some others which were not discussed…) are solved.

Plumbers (in the US at least) appear to have well established apprenticeship systems, often run by their local unions; I've seen advertisements in a major sports facility looking for people interested in working as plumbers/pipefitters.
If nothing else, this post is kind of conflating 2 different things: (a) do search rankings display a bias, and (b) is a "revolving door" and close relationships leading tech companies to deliberately induce such bias. I think it's important to distinguish them, because I think (a) is obviously true, and (b) is probably mostly false. Managing bias is a wildly difficult thing to do, especially with something as complex and correlated with everything as politics. There is no such thing as an "unbiased" ranking, just like there's no such thing as "unbiased" journalism.
Musk is showing that it really is impossible to do it all, but the rules don't apply to C-suite.
You could probably learn plumbing at ManCamp (1). Kids are taught welding, blacksmithing, and other handy skills.

There's related though. If there's one Nazi per billion posts, one unlucky advertiser might be the neighbor. If it's one in three, that's a whole lot of unlucky advertisers.

Twitter isn't 1 in 3, clearly. But whatever number it actually is, Hyundai ended up nearer than they'd like more often than they'd like.
> Car-centric suburbia is fiscally unsustainable ...

For whom? Many people love the suburbs and hate cities. I know many people who know work 3 days from home and only commute to work 2 days per week.

If the suburbs are fiscally unsustainable, what about rural?

What's your plan? Pack people in high-rises? Even if they don't want that?

This doesn't seem right. If I use clippers to trim hair on my body, it grows back to its 'natural' length. I don't end up with hair of various lengths. Likewise, if I shave it, I don't end up with some stubble and some regular hairs.

I've never experienced a time where I've trimmed body hair and had it remain the same length for a couple of months.

Your understanding of it seems far less stressful than mine! I like the idea of voting on conversational quality rather than agree/disagree. Sometimes disagreement really just means surprised or offended, and sometimes those are conversations worth having.

I also hadn't thought of the fact that it moves them up/down - that part I actually love. I wish it only did that, and didn't make the downvoted ones literally fade away lol kinda ridiculous. I get hiding flagged or inappropriate of course.

Thanks for your answer!
