Really? You’ve never met someone with the “if I can’t have it, nobody can” mindset? Never heard of a custody dispute where the losing parent kills the kids in order to deprive the other parent of them?

Vladimir Putin is exactly that kind of person. When backed into a corner and knowing he will die, he would rather nuke the whole world than accept his fate. And those orders will be carried out by people in heavily restricted information silos, who only have the explanation of their commanding officers as reasoning. For all they know, this is a test, or the US already has launched their nukes, or if they don’t launch the nukes their mom will be dropped out of a window.

Generally it runs aground with things like the ADA because you can't just "accidentally" find out the person has a covered condition, you're just never allowed to ask or require it be told. Exceptions for something like an airline pilot on matters related to the job like sight notwithstanding. This is why you always see things like "can lift up to 40 lbs" type requirements instead.

That's true, LLMs do not say I cannot understand I am overwhelmed at this stage. That is big drawback. You need to make sure that the AI understood it.

Some LLMs stop responding midway if the token limit is reached. That is another way of knowing that the LLM is overwhelmed. But most of the time they give lesser quality responses when overwhelmed.
Actually, in Europe all employees enjoy the same laws. They don't have to prove it. It's rather the employer has to tell the reason why something happens (like devalue a employee, discontinue contract/fire). No employer/manager do this, because mo one wants to be fined/fired by their superiors and the law is very clear about that. Also, employees have possibilities to go to court and the chances are not very low they get their right. So, it's not even an option for employers to do it in the hidden.

I'm happy, that it won't happen. Not now and not soon. -> In Europe. I can say that with very confidence. If someone want to change that, democracy of European people will win.

I answered your question. If surveillance then only in office, never ever in my home. No matter what. I also wouldn't work from home in the case surveillance is mandatory for a certain employer

Not with standard LLM models. Generating garbage is easier; deciding that it’s garbage much more difficult. This is an inherent problem with “prompt optimizers” like DSPy.

Show HN: I built an interactive live wind farm dashboard for Ireland
This dashboard is a personal project I've developed to visualize every wind farm's energy production across Ireland.

I'm trying to break into software development/data analytics sector and I wanted to build a project to practice my coding.
I wanted to build a novel project rather than following along to a basic YouTube video project and not really learn anything.
I'm interested in the renewable energy sector and after browsing the web noticed there isn't any public data on real time wind energy production in Ireland.
I took the task onto myself to attempt to build a dashboard that solved this issue.

It was a painful task at the start. I had very little coding background and I felt swamped by the sea of information out there. I didn't know where to start.
I didn't know what tools to use or how to even approach a project like this. I didn't understand how I was going to make the dashboard interactive and how I was going to get my data to the user, how to store the data or how to even get the project online (if I could get that far).

But after many many hours of development and a steep learning curve I finally created something I'm proud of. I can't say it's the sleekest project and under the hood there is definitely a lot of code that's janky, but on the surface it does what I set out to do!

If you're interest in finding out more about the project there is an "About" page on the dashboard that gives an insight into how I created it.

Please feel free to make any suggestions or comments!
Cool idea! I always thought this was the purpose of cypher match statements but your syntax is much shorter and more familiar dot-pathing

One idea would be for the x.y.z to use functions like

x.y(argument).z

This way you could parameterize the traversals and it’d wind up looking like gremlin in sql
I think the implication is that the nuclear war would exist between sovereign rulers, not necessarily between the physical spaces themselves. Wipe out a capital city in an attempt to behead a sovereign government so that their land is available for take over.

Apparently though, the bombs that landed on hiroshima and nagasaki did not create much fallout, making the space livable relatively quickly.

It seems less destructive long term than a nuclear reactor meltdown which may be a tempting but misleading proxy.
You could give similar numbers for crypto (powerplants, custom chips, billions invested, R&D) and yet it amounted to nothing.

Not saying it's the same - just that your argument isn't very strong.

Ironically Nvidia is riding both waves. A few people in the tech scene know how to fuel a hype train.
Show HN: Async FFI from Rust to Go
Recently I made a library to call golang from rust asynchronously with the best performance it can achieve.

I've shared some core design thoughts, including memory layout alignment, implement async based on sync ffi and concurrency safety. I think the problems and designs are not limited to rust and go.

Hope to hear some comments!
Do you have a source for any of these numbers or is this just your speculation? I haven’t seen any estimates from well-known institutions that reference any of the numbers your are pointing to.
I kinda don't know how to feel about this one.

This kinda seems like a continuation of the problem with revenge porn, child porn, etc just at a much larger scale and able to impact a lot more people.

And that is a real problem and we should do what we can to product the victims.

But I struggle with this quote:

>. “Google has ruined lives and is shamefully inflexible at responding to developing problems,” Goldberg said, joining others decrying Google's move as "too little, too late."

Google isn't the service that is generating these images, they are not hosting them, they are just the search engine to find where they are.

Unless google blocks all porn related searches, I just don't know what realistically can be done about this from Google's prospective at any reasonable scale. The idea of a human looking at everything that google crawls just isn't realistic.

And I have a lot of problems with Google. I just, am struggling with putting this on them specifically. Instead the legislation going after those that are hosting it, making it, etc which is mentioned in the article.

Oh man that was an amazing time at UoT. We also got GPU versions of btc mining from that group.

We also had Ethereum be born right around there as well around 2014. I remember the first Ethereum meetups around Queen and Spadina with Vitalik.

But to another posters point. Even though we had the father of deep learning Geoffrey Hinton and lumiaries like Ilya, and Vitalik, we didn't manage to get any real benefit from that.
So nicotine salts are synthetic right? Is there a reason people consume them via oral pouches, does a pill simply not work?

Or is the addiction tied to both the method of consumption and not only the effect (why i drink coffee and not take caffeine pills i guess)
"Reasonable accommodation" is an employment/disability law term of art with a very specific meaning.

> Passing legislation is a necessary first step. Do we really want to set a precedent where Google is expected to proactively censors content that is, for all intents and purposes, legal?

I would expect that in a sane society, everyone would do their part to stop something from happening when that thing is clearly bad, even if it is technically legal!
The point is that Typescript does have nominal typing. It's used if a class is declared with any kind of private member, and for `unique symbol`s. So both in the case I showed, and the case shown in the article, we are using true nominal types.

In fairness, we're also using branded types, which I think is confusing the matter here*. But they are specifically branded nominal types. We can also create structurally-typed brands (before the `unique symbol` technique, that was the only possible option). I think that's what the previous poster was referring to by "simulated nominal typing" — this is distinct from using `unique type` and private members, which are true nominal typing.

* Note: Branded types aren't necessarily a well-defined thing, but for the sake of the discussion let's define them so: a branded type is a type created by adding attributes to a type that exist at compile time but not at runtime.
I sat at my home desk and measured the max and min distance between my eyes and all parts of the screen. I then presented those measurements in my next eye appointment, and the optician (not sure of American terms) was very appreciative that he had specific values to work from. He then simulated text at the different distances, and adjusted my prescription to work correctly over that distance. I think it was 18 inches minimum, 30 inches maximum.

I got computer glasses from that, no special blue filtering or whatever, just set to give me the best view.
The implicit premise of this article is that digitally edited photos and videos that appear like people actually are photos or videos of those people. This premise is false and so is all the reasoning that flows downhill from it. There are no 'victims' because there is no crime because there are no photos or videos of the victims involved. They're digitally created synthetics. It's not like photoshopping someone's face onto someone else's body is new.

This is just hysteria exploited for attention which is money. Calls to criminalize digital image manipulation will result in situations where making fun of people in positions of power (political or celebrity, etc) results in prison; like in Saudia Arabia or Thailand.

The implicitly proposed "solutions" do far worse damage than the "problem".

I disagree. This is something that should be completely independent of an ISP. Maybe we should have some standard protocols that facilitate it, but not be exclusively provided by ISPs.

I worked for an ISP before and did multiple projects involving consumer hardware. You do not want to be tied to whatever garbage your ISP decides to buy in bulk and give to.

But LLMs always advertise themselves as a "co-pilot" solution anyway. Everywhere you use LLMs they put a disclaimer that LLMs are prone to errors and you need to check the responses if you are using it foe something serious.

I agree that it would be better if the LLMs showed you stats on utilization and tokens and also an estimated error rate based on these.
Hallucinations are fundamentally a confusing and useless term that make this discussion a mess.

Firstly - Humans Hallucinate. We have the ability to be impaired to the point that we incorrectly perceive base reality.

Secondly - LLMs are always ‘Hallucinating’ Objective reality for an LLM is relations between tokens. It gets the syntax absolutely right, but we have an issue with the semantics being wrong.

This is simply not what the model is specced to do. It’s fortunately trained on many conversations that flow logically into each other.

It is NOT trained to actually apply logic. If you trained an LLM on absolutely illogical text, it too would create illogical tokens - with mathematical precision.
Acquiring nuclear weapons is not the same as using them.

Nuclear weapons aren’t a combat armament. They are an insurance policy. They are a way to get adversaries to leave you alone or bring you to the negotiating table.

I believe it was Kim Jong Il or Un or maybe both who directly stated this to insiders in their regime. They weren’t ever intended to be used, and those leaders were fully aware that any real conflict would result in their regime’s annihilation.

Their #1 goal was preservation of their family monarchy. Nuclear war is the opposite of that.

This seems to be working as designed, a website is loading cross origin material and not setting up the proper systems in advance. Twitter shouldn't get a pass on doing something unusual and suspicious just because.

I know Twitter probably fired the people who knew this entirely predictable outcome was likely, but like, they should have seen this coming.
Cigarettes are very expensive and there is no way to really get around it, except esoteric approaches like rolling your own cigs, which doesn't even save that much anyway (especially factoring in time).

Vapes on the other hand can range from expensive to cheap as dirt. When I vaped I was spending probably $10/mo to replace a pack a day habit. I made my own flavorless juice and used a $50 tank/mod system.
HBase supports in-place upgrades. Almost* all version upgrades have been relatively painless if you have automation to do the necessary operations across a cluster of nodes. Hadoop upgrades have been a similar story. That minimum automation necessary is high for all stateful data stores of this size.

* A few notable exceptions exist where Hadoop and HBase upgrades were necessary simultaneously. These have been awful experiences that required huge efforts to accomplish.
Most of the references in this article are from decades ago. It feels like denotational semantics has not become the success is claimed to be. I studied the book: 'The Denotational Description of Programming Languages: An Introduction' by Michael J. C. Gordon from 1979 while studying computer science in the eighties.

One of the references in the article, is a reference to the book: 'Denotational Semantics: A Methodology for Language Development' https://www.scss.tcd.ie/Andrew.Butterfield/Teaching/CS4003/D...
> Ideally it should work with encrypted SNI

IPv6.rs doesn't work with ESNI because you'll have to decrypt the encrypted packet to read it. Cloudflare decrypts your traffic so it can read it.

> If my home IP is known,

IPv6.rs hides your home IP. The only exposed IP will be the IPv6 IP you receive from IPv6rs. The reverse proxy proxies to your IPv6 address, so your home IP will never be exposed (and technically you could change the IPv6rs IP if you wanted to at ANYTIME).

Civilians are attacking hospitals?
Climate change is analogous to a scenario we see all the time in nature i.e. a species finds massive success causing its population to spike, this population spike degrades the supporting environment and the species risks extinction.

We dodged this in the 20th century with the green revolution but the risk remains. We still haven’t figured out how to live within the limits of our environment, instead we continue to extract from it and degrade it. If we don’t figure this problem out then our species is done for.

Compared to this the other two are barely even risks.

If you want someone to stop something you have to offer them a world of opportunities to replace it. Because you don't know exactly what will slot into that gap due to lifestyle, financial, personality and social factors.

If you want someone to DO something you just need to show that it COULD fill a gap in some other part of their life. If it's addictive as well then they don't need to experiment for long before it's a solid part of their life.

Getting someone to stop plays off loss aversion and sunk cost.
It's pretty funny in a sad way to me that this article talks about how little we know about human behavior and struggling to find answers about why the kids had a backfire effect.

I remember these programs, and I remember how they made me and my friends feel. But nobody asked us, lol.

I'd even try to tell people I thought, but instead of listening to us, we were admonished.

The problem is that these programs are full of bull shit, bad information, bad science, and lies designed to scare.

Kids pick up on this quickly, and you now have lost all trust with this cohort, permanently.

It's the exact same reason abstinence only education fails.

Humans want to feel good, that's okay, we also don't want to die or ruin our lives (assuming we aren't living in a hell). Basic facts here.
I think that's up for debate depending on application.. the longer wheelbase gives much more stability and comfort which is important on long drives. Vs a cabover might be a better design for a tight city.

There are definitely cases where you want the frequency domain power spectrum to be as close to perfect as possible, and this paper (GBN) is a step above the previous SoTA (Blue Noise Through Optimal Transport).

However I agree about the visual result… Qualitatively, the GBN results look almost like WSJ illustrations, with tight, flowing patterns. In contrast, GBN looks noisier but much more organic, like film grain.

Whether the visual difference will matter depends on the application. If you're reducing grayscale to 1 bit, as in the paper's examples, you're very aware of any patterns. However if you're reducing a floating point color image to 8 bits per color channel, you may never be able to spot the difference.
It appears that there are Interesting Times in OpenAI right now.
> What's the risk here?

A monopolistic stock exchange could, off the top of my head: increase fees, engage in rentseeking behaviour, impose unfair rules, discriminate (against companies and traders) or reduce the quality of service.

Listing on different (or multiple) exchanges ensures that they engage in proper competition.

> compared to the actual extractions you are subjected to in the UK

An apt example of why it's healthy to have competition. A working professional or business could relocate to a country where less of their wealth is taken from them.

So if an American is detained in Germany for a crime committed there, that's kidnapping and the US can invade Germany? I'm sure you realise how delusional that is.

Jamulator was unsuccessful because so much extra hardware was on the cartridges. Recompilation complicates things and doesn't provide many benefits in that situation.

The N64 is fixed hardware, so it's a little bit easier. Even so, this project still uses emulation for the RDP. I don't know how it handles generated RSP microcode, maybe it doesn't. A lot of games just used the official libraries.
Certainly, if you're planning on outgrowing a SQL Server you should probably DIY tailor made indexes and query languages/engines. LLVM makes DIY languages much easier to make than they used to be and very with fast interpreters and AOT it's very performant.

The reason for my brain drain statement is that people don't understand how pernicious the brain drain is in Australia. The Australian government believes that there isn't a net brain drain because more people with degrees immigrate than those emigrating. But people are not substitutable cogs and the very smart are very rare and it is the loss of those few very smart Australians to the US which is so devastating.
At the core of the problem is that social services that address the physical consequences of smoking (mostly medical professionals and financial counselors) are run by people who believe that everyone ought to be treated similarly and have similar opportunities, regardless of behavior.

Smoking is considered "a problem" to society because intelligent, caring people that notice that smoking injuries and medical conditions cause sorrow, strife, and excess medical waste. They've run huge propaganda campaigns to get us to care about this problem: literally "other people are dying because of this habit so you need to hate this habit."

But the people who smoke usually don't care about the social sorrow & strife caused by smoking, and they don't spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to provide hospitals or lung cancer screenings. They just smoke because they enjoy it and don't really anticipate or care about the consequences.

So really, what's going on is that well-intentioned meddlers are trying to meddle in the lives of people who don't share the utopian, collaborative values of the meddlers.

The answers that actually solve "the problem"--ban cigarette sales outright, imprison or exile smokers, refuse medical treatment to smokers--are unthinkable to the meddlers, because they genuinely believe in their principles, especially "everyone in society should be taken care of by competent people".

(For the record: I don't smoke, and I don't think anyone should smoke.)
