I guess different people have different definitions, but to me I'd think of a racial bias that make you think someone different to you is superior wouldn't be considered racism.

For example, if a <skin colour 1> person things that all people of <different skin colour> are basically the same but all seem to be more intelligent than people of <colour 1>, it's definitely a racial bias but is it really racist to think that a different group of people have an advantage somehow?

Arguably it's still racism, even though it's your own genetics you're putting down rather than other people's, but as an example: if a black person in the USA said "I don't think I'll try to go to university, it seems white people find academic work easier" I'd call it internalised racism, or racially biased, but I wouldn't call that person "a racist" even though I disagree with them. Then again, if they started going round trying to convince everyone else that black people aren't as clever as white people, then I would consider them racist despite being the skin colour they're being racist against. To me it's about negativity towards a group vs. misguided thinking, rather than about whether it's against people like you or not.

Claude's lawyers should find a way because they are lagging all other providers in this department. It's such a pity to close the model to a large number of countries. They probably expect to get sued for copyright infringement or something.

csvbase is written in Python instead of Perl and FCGI instead of "trad" CGI but otherwise is a lot like a site from 1994...

It would also be solved if care takers wouldn't let a child do stuff unsupervised on the internet.

Or if a care taker educated a child about dangers on the internet.

Do you really think care takers would watch their kids screens remotely all the time and then such horrific events wouldn't happen? I think it wouldn't help at all if that feature existed
That actually sounds rather nice, I might try them out because of this.
They are also constantly defended.

Good, calibrated IQ tests measure something, and that something has a positive correlation with work efficiency in at least certain types of work.

That said, there are many types of IQ tests and some of them are in my opinion rather weird, for example anything where your score depends on your knowledge of English language or English history as I hear has traditionally been the case in US.

Around here it seems they try to make the tests as little dependent on language, history and even math as possible and the ones I have taken has largely been about:

- pattern matching (of these 6 squares with various patterns, which one doesn't fit in?)

- sequences (based on these 3 squares with patterns, which is the next one?)

- and that kind of stuff

These skills are things that are very real, very measurable and often linked to work throughput. Yes, I rarely visualize boxes in my head and rotate them and I rarely sift through through black and white squares with alternating patterns at work, but it seems the ability to do so is often linked to the ability to mentally single step code or spot patterns in bug reports.

It doesn't mean that you are good person if your score is high (or low) and it doesn't mean that you will be a good employee and not waste your time on HN.

Critical theory and intersectionality have come to dominate all liberal discourse to the level of farce. NPR is just a mirror.
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.

You have until June 25 to decide if you’d like to take the massive sell off route.

Further, capital gains deductions before June 25 remain at 50% but selling after June 25 is taxed at 66%

There is more to it though, the rate from 100,000 to 250,000 remains at 50% even after June 25 and only amounts over 250,000 will have an effective rate of 66% after June 25

So, a big short term gift to tax preparation and tax planning industries.

Most people won’t worry about this, as selling your principal home in Canada is capital gains exempt… as long as you don’t try and game that system by doing multiple transactions in less than 1 year, or the CRA deems you to be “in the business of”.

The bigger problem with this budget is the 40 billion dollar deficit (which is surely larger but employs many tricks to get it to the “modest” 40 billion). Some quick stats

At that point I realized that the time it takes for a kid to drown is one breath

I don’t think this is quite true?

You can’t breathe under water, maybe inhaling some water would spur your child into action and at least try get back to the surface. I think you just scared your kid.

My child is an infant and I slowly introduce him to putting his face under the water and now his whole body, seems to have mastered breathe holding pretty well. He comes up giggling even though there was a few times he inhaled some water. Recently he jumped into the pool unexpectedly, I don’t know why he did it, but I was watching him, he just chilled and wait till I fished him out. Came out smiling. Exposure is important.

The instinct to shame people into being nicer to kids is in a way noble, but the confidence and vehemence of this comment is misplaced.
Same here. The top comment we're discussing is a good example of comments I really dislike :/ people think that only things they find interesting should be upvoted by everyone else :D that kind of thinking, which is very common in HN comments, shows just how much one can lack understanding of others, their motivations, how people's tastes/objectives/world views can be completely and utterly different than their own.
Using something you build brings a lot of satifsaction.
I agree that the wording of that was really weird. String templates aren't really the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of "freedom in expressing constructor behaviour".

You're overcomplicating everything. Websocket endpoints. Simple.
In this case specifically, because the allocation failures both have the same result code, I would do the following:

regex_compare_t regex_canonical_equivalent(regex_cache_t *cache,
stringtable_index_t x,
stringtable_index_t y) {

if (x.value == y.value) {
return regex_compare_equal;
}

intstack_t stack = intstack_create(256);
if (!intstack_valid(stack)) goto out_of_memory;

intmap_t map = intmap_create(16);
if (!intmap_valid(map)) goto out_of_memory;

return regex_canonical_equivalent_with_structures(cache, x, y, &stack, &map);

out_of_memory:
if (intstack_valid(stack)) intstack_destroy(stack);
if (intmap_valid(map)) intmap_destroy(map);
return regex_out_of_memory;
}

Better yet if your data structures have "destroyvalid" methods.
Increased surveillance powers serve the purpose of doing nothing. Force private entities to do the work of slurping everything thing up. Hire contractors to write the analysis software. Then tie your performance metric to the number of alerts received (not resolved). So, more data in + expanding the scope of "suspicious" activity leads to "more work done". And also lets you go back to Congress and say, "look how dangerous the world is, give us more 'resources' to make it safer." Rinse, repeat.

>Europeans are mostly happy giving more power to their government including surveillance (they're tried to make end-to-end encryption illegal how many times now?)

No, we aren't. And we haven't tried to ban end-to-end encryption. You're conflating the European political ruling class with regular European citizens. Our interests are mostly opposed, and we don't have a say on none of the shit they do. I get what you're trying to say, but until there's a popular vote held on any of those issues so we can blame general stupidity for how they are tackled, if at all, I'm blaming politicians.

Can anyone here explain why YouTube (namely the mobile interface) goes through a total redesign every 1-2 years? Is it just to earn some unknown manager another promotion? I'm getting really sick of it at this point.
Heh. There are defects that are impossible to catch. But if what I've read about parachutes is accurate, you're supposed to inspect them before use as they have a shelf life.

And that's the problem with deregulation. It's inefficient because it places a greater burden on everyone and therefore a greater burden on society. Nobody has time for that. Except rich people - they can hire personal parachute checkers.
The pronunciation is different inside Brazil, like some NY accents versus standard american english for instance, or when I try to follow someone from Texas versus someone from New Zealand.

All your points are correct! Awesome observation!

I'm from south Brazil, living in Rio, and I have some weird situations following people from the north when they talk fast. I need to spend more energy paying attention or ask again the same question, but it's a nice exercise.

It's closely related to the immigrations, for instance the city I lived in the south had a bigger immigration from Azorians, along with different proportions of europeans on the entire state, including my (grand)grandparents from Poland.

When I started looking at the cultural origins it made more sense, it's also a beautiful topic to look at.
This puts me off using any remote LLM. I would pay per month to have the model run locally.
It still takes discipline, I don't wake up every morning dying to program - sometimes the task at hand is boring, sometimes the motivation is not there, sometimes a little bit of a and a little bit of b. And I still code to a good standard of quality: I try to balance not being overly perfectionist, with making my practice deliberate so that I keep improving. For example, I test, refactor, document and plan with a backlog. But removing users from the equation lifts a massive weight from my shoulders. Like the article says, I leave that for work.

Both.

Just think of it like car. The operator/owner is responsible to keep it maintained not the manufacturer. So replacing tires and making sure brakes and so on are in reasonable shape.

On other hand it is on manufacturer to provide defect free product. Meaning brake failure is not their fault.

Like you shouldn't lock yourself to a specific cloud provider, you shouldn't lock yourself to a LLM as a service provider.

You could build your tools with a generic access to the best LLMs of the market. Today Claude is great, but perhaps Gemini, Mistral, ChatGPT, Command-R, or some wizard-dolphin-mixtral-carrots-merge-v3 can be descent replacements.
I thought of an answer in 2 words reading the title, namely:

Shared state.

Actor model is indeed a nice way to prevent shared state. So are "The Elm Architecture" and state-less web server on top of a db.

I have a hunch "Communicating Sequential Processes" and "Shared state" are somehow describing the same thing in different words (or from a different perspective).

ok, i think we should be skeptical of this piece of data and require this much rigor before we believe the assertion, but then let’s also require the same from the other direction. we don’t have academic peer reviewed papers on why npr is losing listeners either.

either we allow speculation and trust individual anecdotes or we don’t.

all i see is that yes, media across all political spectrums are seeing downturns. the rest of the speculation is just copium by people who believe they know more than insiders who have decades of experience and institutional knowledge.
Definitely, there are some ideas on at least not wasting the time on stepping thru and instead having "rewindable" debug recordings, but then that's still not show you visually that, e.g., this whether the interleaving is forming the unexpected (by you) sequence of A1B2B1A2.
I appreciate that going from polo shirts to sweaters is a form of "generalisation" but that's only interesting because of the extremely limited capability for generalisation that systems have when they're trained by imitation learning, as ALOHA.

Note for example that all the shirts in the videos are oriented in the same direction, with the neck facing to the top of the video. Even then, the system can only straighten a shirt that lands with one corner folded under it after many failed attempts, and if you turned a shirt so that the neck faced downwards, it wouldn't be able to straighten it and hang it no matter how many times it tried. Let's not even talk about getting a shirt tangled in the arms themselves (in the videos, a human intervenes to free the shirt and start again). It's trained to straighten a shirt on the table, with the neck facing one way [1].

So the OP is very right. We're no nearer to real-world autonomy than we were in the '50s. The behaviours of the systems you see in the videos are still hard-coded, only they're hard-coded by demonstration, with extremely low tolerance for variation in tasks or environments, and they still can't do anything they haven't been painstakingly and explicitly shown how to do. This is a sever limitation and without a clear solution to it there's no autonomy.

On the other hand, ιδού πεδίον δόξης λαμπρόν, as we say in Greek. This is a wide open field full of hills to plant one's flag on. There's so much that robotic autonomy can't yet do that you can get Google to fund you if you can show a robot tying half a knot.

__________________

[1] Note btw that straightening the shirt is pointless: it will straighten up when you hang it. That's just to show the robot can do some random moves and arrive at a result that maybe looks meaningful to a human, but there's no way to tell whether the robot is sensing that it achieved a goal, or not. The straightening part is just a gimmick.

What are those cases preventing a 2-year-old remembering something from a week ago, thus strengthening the memory, rinse and repeat?

In my case, the memory is linked to potty training and I know when that happened.

I'm kind of confused that on one hand you say that you don't know if it was a dream or reality, and on the other hand completely discount the possibility of having such an early memory.

> because the odds are very much against it

You keep mentioning the odds. How do you calculate them?
