Studying a politically sensitive issue should not expose a person to harassment. Politicians, governments and organisations need these issues analysed. Of course, too often politicians, governments and organisations don't like the outcome of said analysis and then somehow manage to blame those doing the analysis.

You can see why scientists end up in this ridiculous situation. "My analysis of the data shows this outcome" "We don't like that outcome so you must be incorrect" "But you're paying me to study this, and this seems like an important topic."

Tell HN: In Memory of Alexander Thomas Drummond
I don't know much about this website, but I recently found Alex's account on here (atdrummond), and his posts where he contributed tens of thousands of dollars to community members here during the Holidays to help people who were struggling.

This was his most recent holiday post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38492378

He was a great man who helped many different communities of people like he did here, and he sadly passed away earlier this year.
I didn't know him personally but I was able to witness his amazing generosity on more than one occasion.
This memorial page to help raise funds for Crohn's & Colitis was set up by his family after his passing:
https://p2p.onecause.com/diy-tributes-memorials/shay-drummon...

Thank you for reading, I don't know if anyone seeing this will have felt or been impacted by his generosity, but I wanted to try to inform more people of the great life this man lead and the charity he spread everywhere he went. May God rest his soul.
My friend bullied me into watching the 2011 anime and I grumbled about it being for kids for the first four seasons, while admitting it has its moments and some cool characters. Was not prepared for the total horrorshow that is season 5.
My phonak HAs have some directional noise cancellation (or biasing at least; I don't have rigorous definitions for these terms)... It helps but isn't great.

Has a problem that I think the AI headphones wouldn't solve either: in a (non-quiet) group setting you still need to anticipate who's going to speak when and look at them for best results.

The direction bit is just biasing to preferring forward stuff (via two mics on each ear's HA).

Sadly, no backwards bias option for overhearing people behind you ;)
I assume this is to have more control over compilation process.

Without annotation processor, you can expect your code to be compiled and behaved in an obvious way.

With annotation processor all bets are off, your code and code that results from compilation are completely different entities.

So with this switch being explicit, you might enforce politics like lack of annotation processors for better clarity.

While security theoretically might be better, in practice with modern build tools there are enough ways to cause code execution, so it probably doesn't matter much.
Except for the part where their “safety reports” are aggressively and intentionally falsified to push product.

They intentionally deceive by comparing extremely non-comparable numbers while avoiding making any necessary and basic adjustments that harm their story. Of their many lies, they use pyrotechnic (airbag) deployments for their own numbers, but compare against all crashes. The NHTSA investigation [1] into Tesla ADAS crashes points out how publicly available data, that Tesla has easy access to and that any competent statistician can interpret, indicates pyrotechnic deployment occurs in only ~18% of crashes. Just that single factor alone shows Tesla has failed to disclose a literal 5x adjustment, let alone the other adjustments that have no doubt been concealed or ignored to avoid learning inconvenient and unmarketable truths.

Their intentional concealment of 5x errors shows their data analysis is entirely faulty and untrustworthy and has been for years.

Windows Phone 8.0 was great, partially because of the OS, and partially because MS paid for ports of the top-N apps to it.

GrapheneOS didn’t work as a daily driver for me because I couldn’t reliably use it for uber, lyft, parking or ev charging. The camera support was missing some features.

Most of that is fixable by adding back the google services, but then you lose most of the privacy advantages of having a de-googled phone.

Can you point me towards a citation for the 25% figure? I'm seeing numbers like 96% ( https://paperswithcode.com/sota/common-sense-reasoning-on-ar... ) but I'm guessing that's just for a subset of the larger class of questions.

Also, are you familiar with this study? What are your thoughts on it? https://www.esmo.org/newsroom/press-and-media-hub/esmo-media... Seems like a valid case where AI is competitive with skilled humans at object/image recognition.
This seems a real vulnerability if you're using legacy infrastructure - If you're running your build process on a highly privileged build machine, like a single large Jenkins instance. These machines might have a bunch of subprojects - and a bunch of credentials to login to other prod systems for deployment purposes.

This is not the reason that I prefer containerized build solutions, but it is a real concern, outside of the little bubble that is the startup ecosystem.

Edit: It occurs to me that since I just gave a talk on this, it behooves me to link it: https://youtu.be/dswPHnfGwlY
One question that is unclear to me - what are the disadvantages of a user space driver like SPDK (in comparison to a kernel implementation)? It prevents multiplexing the device? The API is more complex to program?

Which requires KYC in most places, and then you're going to start getting asked about the source of those funds. You'll also need to claim it on taxes, which if lied about will cause additional issues.

So, yeah, the "no questions asked" part is wrong. You can send money to anyone on earth, after a middleman takes a cut on your fiat exchange, the transfer, and the next fiat exchange, with questions asked, public for the world to see.
This precisely correct. The board hires & fires the CEO. End of story. When the board is unhappy how the company is being run, their recourse is to...fire the CEO. What is unusual here is the wellspring of support from "the troops", such that if they stuck with their firing the CEO, there would be hardly any company left to be BoD of! The board didn't understand the depth of employee allegiance to sama.

First, my statement was a hypothetical that shows its fairly obvious in the abstract that just because a group's activity is beneficial to themselves doesn't mean humanity needs to tolerate it, if it's at the expense of everyone else. Hello cartels, carbon emissions, etc.

When it comes to this specific case, the board did not think the mission of "AGI benefiting humanity" warranted shutting the company down. (they believe that being in the lead is better steering than Google / FB / etc.) But they also believed that Sama was sabotaging the safety aspects that would lead to the better steering of AGI for humanity.

The board expected people to have joined OpenAI in support of the mission but Sama sabotaged that with the $1m+ pay packages that meant these people prioritized their personal wealth. The Google founders had talked about how hard it was to ignore financial incentives, a majority of employees were in uproar every time the stock flatlined for too long.

Board's priorities: some group having the best chance of AGI benefiting humanity > Company shutting down > OpenAI makes humanity worse via AGI

The employees should've understand what the OpenAI mission and board's duty was the moment they joined the company. If this wasn't one of the first topics in interviews, then Sam sabotaged the company's mission.

> then if you join on both you now are loading A * B * C rows

I'm realizing it's not actually written up in our proper docs, but the "cross join lateral" trick is pretty neat:

https://joist-orm.io/blog/nextjs-sample-app#join-based-prelo...

This will return A number of (author) rows, where each author row as a `_b` column that is a JSON array of that author's books. And if you asked for C comment rows, then one of the "columns"/indices in each of those book arrays will itself be a nested array of the book's comments.

So all the data gets returned, but with no repetition/Cartesian product.

Hat tip to PostGraphile where I first saw the "cross join later" + "json_agg" technique used. Disclaimer we're not actually running this Joist feature in production yet--just haven't had time to run it through the test suite.

You can only do it for new customers, though. Just save the list of API keys used over HTTP, then whitelist those who earn more than $xxx/year.

Then you can work with those customers to help them upgrade their clients to HTTPS.
ASL ⭤ English Translation with MediaPipe, PointNet, ThreeJS and Embeddings
We need to bridge the communication gap between Deaf and hearing individuals.

Hi! I'm a Grade 11 student at Burnaby South Secondary School, also home to British Columbia's Secondary School for the Deaf. Over the last few months, I have been working on an ASL ⭤ English translation tool that respects and preserves American Sign Language (ASL) as the primary language.

Most existing ASL translation tools are built on the misconception that ASL is the same language as English. They view Deafness as a disability and only seek to overcome the inability to hear, but not to translate to the language of ASL itself.

Watch my YouTube video here https://youtu.be/uuPxMWQRoXc?si=7J5FAdoa9_xby9nf

For ASL reception, I augmented over 100,000 images of ASL alphabets using Google MediaPipe and trained a PointNet model to classify handshapes fingerspelled by Deaf individuals. For ASL expression, I augmented over 9,000 videos of ASL signs, embedded their corresponding words, and then used ThreeJS to sign words said by hearing individuals. I also use LLMs to improve accuracy and translate between English and ASL grammar.

I'm still learning more about machine learning, and I would appreciate any general feedback or opportunities related to this project or technology! Let me know if you have any questions :)

> History shows us that societies based on morals (religious, ideological) fare extremely poorly compared with societies based on rights (free markets).

Adam Smith saw "Theory of Moral Sentiments" as the foundation of his later work on "Wealth of Nations", right? ie that morals were a necessary prerequisite to markets etc.
Spend ten minutes googling, it's really not hard to find articles that talk about men and unique needs of men in traditionally women's spaces, and they stayed focused on men.

i didn't mean to say that making society more rational healthy and coordinated is the only way to contribute. you could certainly go to a monastery and meditate. also i meant that money would not even be something to think about, not that you are very rich. and i know what you're talking about with the rationalist thing, where a lot of "rational people" are really just overly-intellectual and selfish and don't really do anything; that's not what i mean by rational. i'm talking about evolutionary adaptation, surviving collectively, doing actual science, changing our mindset to care for everyone and make money obsolete because we have the technology and skills to do so.

>It sounds to me like you are a narcissist as well, to think that you are more rational than others or know better just because you have money.

People could just hit important data fetch endpoints with random keys, until they find one that’s good, and then have a compromised account.

> Why would the law of supply and demand fall apart under captive/uncompetitive markets?

For the law to hold perfectly and describe prices, everyone in the market (both buyers and sellers) must be a "price taker". That is, the amount anyone supplies(sells)/demands(buys) is entirely a function of the going market price of whats being traded, and no one believes they will influence prices. (If anyone isn't a "price taker", then supply/demand of the good being traded are no longer the only variables in the function of price). So, typically under competitive market conditions (that is there are many buyers/sellers), as prices rise demand from buyers will drop and selling increases from sellers, whereas the opposite happens when prices fall.

However, in captive markets such as one consisting of a monopoly seller, the seller can test demand to find the most profitable price for them specifically. At which point the seller is no longer operating as a "price taker", as they will reduce selling as prices rise to find that optimal price point for themselves (as they have input costs which have their own price curves that buyers don't know or care about). Remember, a "price taker" cannot influence the price, but must take or leave it depending on price. Thus price is no longer determined purely by the market supply/demand of the good, but also profit margin of the monopolist.

> Huh? Supply is characterized by being "for sale".

It often is, and there is nothing wrong with it being defined that way. But the idea which is being expressed here is what is important. For hyperbole, if I hoarded all of the worlds water, but only listed 2 liters of it for sale (much less than the population needs), would that indicate the world has a water shortage? One would argue yes, if you defined supply as "for sale", but no if
differentiated in the way I did.
The idea with the experimental backends is that they will talk directly with the kernel drivers, [3] is for the HSA backend but is not needed for the AMD backend.
This could easily hold a library of voices that you interact with (e.g at a bigger table of friends and family) and let you toggle in and out voices that are relevant. Apple please include this feature for your Airpods, thanks! :)

I agree to almost all your points from the previous four comments, and I think so do you to my comments (because you didn't argue against my statements). We differs only on what to discuss.

What are a few examples of probablistic events that should surprise you?
Comprehensive and practical write-up that aligns with most of my experiences.

One controversial point that has led to discussions in my team is this:

> A common anti-pattern/code smell in software is the “God Object,” where we have a single class or function that does everything. The same applies to prompts too.

In theory, a monolithic agent/prompt with infinite context size, a large toolset, and perfect attention would be ideal.

Multi-agent systems will always be less effective and more error-prone than monolithic systems on a given problem because of less context of the overall problem. Individual agents work best when they have entirely different functionalities.
