Restrictive immigration exists solely to suppress wages for citizens/residents, legal temporary workers and undocumented migrants. I really wish more people understood this.

> All that being said, the tech market clearly has too many unemployed citizens as of 2024.

Big Tech is now in a permanent layoffs mode. This too is solely to suppress wages and, as you mention, this is a huge issue for people who are on work visas.

I personally think that anyone who has done layoffs in the last 12 months shouldn't be eligible to sponsor any work visas at all.
Or, why aren't Martians from Earth.

As much as I like the idea conceptually for movies. That life on Earth came from Mars still doesn't explain how life started on Mars. It just moves the location, the mechanism is still tbd.

> A well behaving LLM responding to the actual question should distribute the logits across "left" and "right" in the way requested by the user and doesn't.

No, a well-behaving LLM would do exactly what's seen. The most likely next toxen is "left" and it should deterministically output that unless some other layer like a temperature function makes it non-deterministic in its own way (wholly unrelated to the prompt).

The fantastical AGI precursor that people have been coached into seeing is what you're talking about, and that's (of course) not what an LLM actually is.

This is essentially just one of the easier ways you can expose the parlor trick behind that misconception.
Interesting, I did usb2 for a while on a pi3(?) and it worked decently well. Why is iops only 200?
Recording people in public spaces is generally legal. Should it be unlawful to record your front porch? That'd implicate Ring and a whole bunch of other products. How about setting up a camera on your windowsill pointing out towards the street?
And that was the main point of my comment - we really don't know what is the actual situation.
You can get rid of some of the LLM garbage (and plagiarizing) by tracking who's doing it, and penalizing them.

In search results.

Also in hiring.

Show HN: An OpenAPI guide written for developers
Hey HN! I work at Speakeasy building SDK generation and general API tooling. As part of our work, we’ve been helping a lot of companies improve the overall quality of their OpenAPI documents. As popular as OpenAPI is, there is a shocking lack of good information for developers who are trying to learn how to effectively work with the standard.

To fix that, we have put together the full OpenAPI reference guide that we would’ve like to have had when we were starting out:

- It is up to date, with information about v3.1 and callouts about where it differs from 3.0
- Features AI-powered search to make it easy to answer your questions
- Is opinionated about the choices you can make
- Rich with practical examples, interactive code sample, and explanations about how OpenAPI can effect downstream applications
- Details about some of the proposed additions to OpenAPI that aren’t formally part of the spec, but play an increasingly important part in the tooling ecosystem (i.e. overlays & workflows)

The reference is open source (feel free to use it) and we’re actively welcoming contributors who want to help maintain it.

We're excited to hear what you all think, and hope this becomes a useful resource to anyone learning about OpenAPI!

Or use GeoIP to assume a default country, but allow the user to change their country or clear the country filter. MaxMind has a free offline GeoIP database that’s good.

If the developer wants to keep the full country list, they could move the GeoIP identified country to the top of the list and/or highlight it for easy access.
That's basically every freakout news title ever. There's always some really important missing information.
Almost certainly because it's using its Advanced Data Analysis capability.

ChatGPT explanation: "When you ask for a random number, I can generate it using different methods based on the context. If it's a simple request, I might use my LLM capabilities, leveraging randomness to create a number. However, if a higher level of randomness or specific randomization functions are required, I'd use the Advanced Data Analysis feature, where I can use Python to generate truly random numbers. It depends on the nature and specifics of your request!"

> The idea of having to have an online account with the manufacturer in order to use a car is so ridiculous, I can't even believe I'm typing it.

Where is this the case? I haven't heard of this before, granted i haven't bought a car in about 8 years. My 2016 4runner has the little mayday button and gps aftermarket thing but you have to pay for the service, if you don't pay then my assumption is it's not transmitting anything. I know Tesla does OTA updates so they must be connected 24x7 but I haven't heard of that requirement for any other cars. Is it just an EV thing?

I know there are still plenty of places in the US with absolutely no cell phone much less data service, i'm assuming these cars are drivable there with maybe a "no connection" indicator. I wonder if there's a way to disable the ability to get a reliable connection without actually removing power to a component.

On the other hand, if you're driving a car with your phone in your pocket then it's a moot point. Your phone is the best citizen tracking device ever invented.

edit: i want to be clear and I agree, having to have an online account to operate a car is _absolutely_ ridiculous!
not justifying the sentence because 18 years is wrong... but the headline is very misleading. He was arrested for assault during an attempted robbery, and had a history of violence.
In terms of satellites, yes, very.

In terms of independent operators, not so much. If Starlink goes down or ceases operations in a given region or to a given customer, there are few alternatives right now.
> hyfetch also weirdly inserts lgbtq+ interest into it,

It is explicitly described as “neofetch with pride flags <3” so it isn't like the behaviour is going against what it says on the tin.

> I don't care about the *fetch authors interest in lgbtq+

I can't say I care about your lack of interest, but I've now had if waved in front of my face :)

If it bothers you that much, fork it and make “hyfetch without the pride”. Or just use one of the many other forks of the original.
Most of those examples aren't the cars being outdated really. They were intentional decisions to either cut costs or two stubbornly do it their own way. A tech refresh wont give you radar because Elon didn't want radar. They could have had it years ago but didn't. Same with carplay and android auto. They wanted their software stack.
Yeah, the big focus on exhausts from cars has hidden lots of other problems they lead to.

EVs don't solve most of these problems. The cars are heavier, hence their tires spread even more micro plastic.
"to the FBI" is a much narrower claim, and assaults aren't homicides. It is not suprising to me that some assaults would not be followed-up on; that's why homicide rates are much more interesting.

Numbers for the missing NYC, for example, are hardly difficult to dig up. https://abc7ny.com/nypd-crime-shootings-murders/14259597/

> The NYPD released some statistics about safety in New York City during 2023. The number of murders and shootings in the city both decreased last year and are continuing to track downward following the pandemic. New York City had 386 homicides last year, according to new NYPD data, an 11.9% decrease from 2022.
Link not working for anyone else?
Around 250k tokens its around 15-20 seconds. When you really pack it full (which I have only done just to test it) it can take a minute before it outputs anything. It also sometimes glitches out with massive contexts, and just stops generation mid sentence. Asking it to repeat the response clears it up though.

Jesse Lyu (rabbit ceo) mentioned that they wouldn’t wait for os to avail and release sdks as it will take many years (paraphrasing).

The idea sounds I mean there’s Alexa (which is way cheaper) and shipping an AOSP with a Chinese vendor hardware is indeed manageable — but do we really want to have a ChatGPT-only 24/7? I highly doubt that, at least for me. I’m probably only chronically online for the social aspects of that, but had my interactions been only to an llm agent, I don’t think I’ll be using it that much.

I like to think 5 or 10 years later in the future and see how us and the newer generations would interact with technology but I find it difficult to envision that would be rabbit r1 device

It's actually running the code. It doesn't run all code it generates. But if you specifically ask it to, then it does. It also has access to a bunch of data visualization libraries if you want it to calculate and plot stuff.
> That’s like saying the US should have no environmental regulations because there are other countries with less protection.

It's not the same. The US has (nominally) some measure of keeping people out of the country. Cities in the US can't keep people from other parts of the US from moving there. We don't have internal population control like say China internal residence permits (I'm sure there are other examples, that's just what I know about).

So people are gonna move to cities whether you want them to or not, and we need to build places for them to live. Unless you want to drastically restrict freedom of movement.

> But stepping back, I don’t get the point of trying to concentrate density in a small area and creating problems for the environment and quality of life

From an environmental perspective, it is the better way if you don't push people back into pre-industrial era.

Dense cities use drastically less energy per capita, and pollute less exhaust/etc.

> Why is this a problem as long as those at the bottom experience the maximum amount of growth possible?

What makes you think they are?
Wrapping a line in a try catch is equivalent to the go error check routine. Should be roughly the same amount of lines if you care about that sort of thing.

There's bad programmers everywhere. Writing if err != nil { return err } is the same as not handling exceptions (they just bubble up).

Maybe you think this because go shoves the exceptions front and center in your face and forces you to deal with them. I suppose it can be a helpful crutch for beginners but it just winds up being annoying imo.
It's not impossible to change Texas law. In fact, it happens very frequently. Changing them in the way you want is impossible, I think, is closer to what you mean. And since Republicans are a majority in Texas regardless of gerrymandering, that is in line with Democratic principles no matter how much you don't like it.
Coming from dotnet, I rather like the Go pattern as you've described it. I would normally catch and error and then write out a custom message with relevant information, anyway, and I hate the ergonomics of the try{}catch(Exception ex){} syntax. And yes, it is tempting to let the try block encompass more code than it really should.

As stated, yes I built background check software for a major background check company (they're yc, now worth billions) - in particular I developed their background check ETA and built their React app which is used millions of times per year by Uber, DoorDash, and others, for background checks. I'm familiar with the space and had to become a background investigator to work there. What you say just isn't true.

US expenditionary model maybe relatively economical method for US to deliver global fires given US goals/constraints, but US choosing to be visiting team doesn't negate homecourt advantage for those who choose play at home. Reality is RU/PRC can deliver firepower cheaper in most reasonable scenarios we envision they'll get involved in. And currently both countries have autarkic enough MIC that PPP makes sense even accounting for smuggling in western machinery etc. They're not isn't Japan whose GDP in USD is 60% of ~2010 peak and need to scrounge for couch USDs to buy F35s. Or ~2B to buy 400 tomahawks over years when PRC MIC signalled they can make twice that in one day, at presumably magnitude lower costs, because they don't need 6sigma reliability to balance expeditionary logistics costs. That's before tactics changing procurement economics like RU ECM negating 100k per shell Excalibure rounds from 70% effectiveness to 6%, making it closer to 1k dumb shell. Or sanctioned to death Iran's budget ballistic salvo still managed to penetrate Israel+co's exquisitely expensive missile defense that was estimated to cost one day of IL GDP in interceptors (for just their share of interceptions). PPP is more appropriate comparison for powers whose MIC isn't dependent on US relative to their strategic goals i.e. PRC likely isn't going to spend trillions building/sustaining 11 nuke carriers and securing global basing to project power in the Americas, they're going to build a few 100s of billions worth of conventional ground launched ICBMs, stored in tunnels, to hit US strategic targets (like carriers in ports) in event of peer war.
Going up a few basis points would be like increasing the odds 1,000,000x.

I'm not opposed to the idea that life began on Mars, and, I don't know, through some mass ejection a chunk of lifelike stuff landed on earth and seeded it. But it seems like a much harder path to take than to just form life on Earth from the start.
