Except there’s a great deal of evidence vaccination is directly helpful. Just look at which states have the most deaths from COVID after mid 2021 vs their vacation rates. WV vaccination rate was 59% single 52% double vs MD at 90% S 78% D. Prior to July 2021 they had similar numbers after WV was far worse.

Also, it’s likely if the 2024 virus was transported back to 2018 it would be far more deadly. At this point basically everyone has had prior infection or a vaccine for a closely related strain and there’s much better treatment for the infected. Thus the odds of anyone dying drops in ways that have nothing to do with the virus itself and a great deal to do with what happened over the last 5 years.
It's also a matter of workload. For a database where threads are often waiting on trips to RAM then SMT can provide a very large boost to performance.
> Winston Churchill would be represented by hanzi that would be transliterated Wensuteng Chuerqilu.

If we actually used Chinese characters, we would write Churchill with meaningful hanzi and not strictly transliterate. Though there'd of course be variations as there are variations in spelling.

The only Chinese I know is through Japanese, but I imagine Churchill would look something like 教丘
Leetcode deselected too many good experienced candidates, which is really who I prefer to hire. I have hired good leetcode juniors that did not improve and are no longer working in software.
My argument is much simpler than what you are reading: in a world where you get punished for doing a thing (even rightly so), less of that thing will happen. In our world, people are punished for saying things less than positive about vaccines (you can make the argument that this is a good thing, but you can't argue that this isn't true).

I'm making no claim on whether or not you should be punished for saying less than positive things about vaccines, I'm not making any claims about shadowy forces making this true. I'm just pointing out that it is in fact true.

This and only this is my argument. If you think that is downright insane or has no logical basis, well there isn't much else for me to say.

BTW, in case you missed it, I was somewhat convinced by your point that maybe this doesn't impact metrics like we are discussing above.

> HP has no consistency.

That is just plain false. The rules are not as clearly defined in HP (because it's not trying to be a hard magic system), but when Rowling makes a rule she follows it. For example, you can't bring people back from the dead. That's a rule which is clearly stated and is followed through the series.

In your example, no rule was broken. The book never said "things can't fly in this world". In fact, it's established pretty early on that broomsticks can fly by means of specific enchantment spells. The fact that someone got the idea to apply those enchantments to a car doesn't break the rules of the world. The fact that Harry's friends showed up to rescue him at the right moment is certainly convenient, but also doesn't break the rules of the world. The book explains why they were worried and came to check on him, after all. No rules were broken in this scene, you just don't like it. Which is certainly your right! But it's not poor writing which breaks the rules of the world.
that sounds great and i wish i could've done something like that in the past.

however i'm used to not quitting one job until i have the next one lined up (especially now that the interview process can take months to go from application to start date).
We run a company LLM, fine-tuned Llama 3. It works well and is dirt cheap to run. We do it for reasons other than availability, though.

My company's internal ChatGPT using the GPT4 API is working OK, so it seems to be related to something specific to ChatGPT rather than the GPT4 service generally.
Last posted 2 years ago, and reposts are not discouraged on HN if enough time has passed.

Also seems like the sort of project that might be "done" and then not need to be touched unless WP breaks compat.
Nah, I have my own locally hosted LLMs but Claude is the one I use for long-context stuff. So this situation still impacts me.
I read that as "green threads". But it could be anything just short of a thread maybe even futures and promises.

Just about any thread that isn't a full-on proper thread is not ideal for general purpose game development. There are a lot of thread implementations for various user interfaces that have a goal of minimizing latency or maximizing CPU utilization. But if you are in a latency sensitive environment like a game and you're highly likely to be pushing the CPU to 100% you often need real threads not something like them.

Coroutines have their place in game development too, but they're not (in my experience) used as a thread replacement. They are used to manage complex flow control. Similarly, I have seen green threads and event loops used to manage the user interface or Futures and Promises to manage certain IO in a game but not the rest of the general game work scheduling.
I wonder if the OpenAI issue has anything to do with Apple doing some large performance/integration testing ahead of potential WWDC announcement on Monday
Great resource. Thank you for sharing. Will add to the post.
>In fact, it makes the problem with (1) price worse by giving people the illusion of choice and availability, inflating their egos and thus asking for unreasonable prices.

Worse for who? The dating app's goal is to keep you as a long term paying customer, not help you find THE ONE quickly. So if people are constantly mismatching due to inflated egos, but staying on the platform due to the illusion of overabundance, it's a slam dunk for the dating app's shareholders' bottom line. People finding their mate quickly is bad for business.

It seems that dating, just like with housing and healthcare, if you turn it into a private business for shareholder to rentseek on, it's guaranteed to be turned to shit for most people as they're now seen as cash cows to be milked for all they're worth rather than human being with human problems.
Absolutely. That's what I would use profiles for... Profile 1 for vim, Profile 2 for a specific game, etc. etc...

However, mapping e.g. caps lock to ESC (many devs do this) would be a global mapping that just works everywhere on every OS.

Firmware mapping would not exclude software mapping at all but just be there IN ADDITION.
Somehow I managed getting through the setup of a 2nd hand laptop that came with Win 11 preinstalled. At one point they wanted me to enter a Microsoft account but through back and forth I somehow was able to skip it although I couldn't reproduce it. Probably I accidentally did the same as described in the article.

Anyway, requiring a Microsoft account sucks and I wonder if it's even legal in the EU (better to ask for forgiveness than permission, I guess, right MS?). Conclusion is, Microsoft sucks as much as ever, even with all the open source and Microsoft loves Linux.
Housing being unaffordable is a big one, but in my opinion the bigger aspect (which housing factors into) is long-term financial security (as in, there being little to no risk of financial crisis in the ~20 year timespan of raising a family) sitting just beyond reach. This incentivizes putting off having children as long as possible in attempt to achieve aforementioned security, but many never reach that point and end up never starting a family.

This isn’t a factor for the very poor or very wealthy, because financial security was never a possibility for the former to begin with and the latter already have it. Everybody in between gets tied up trying to become the latter because it seems possible, even if it’s not probable.
> Cox's support organization was presented with a compromised device being handed to them by an infosec professional, and they couldn't handle it effectively at all.

He probably should have gone the responsible disclosure route with the modem too. Do you really expect a minimum wage front desk worker to be able to determine what’s a potential major security flaw, and what’s a random idiot who thinks his modem is broken because “modern warfare is slow”?
Gemini also unstable.
Nightmare fuel. Giant tech company, giant vuln. There’s so much to say, but more than anything Im just upset. The article and this dude are amazing. The exploit is not excusable.
I can probably guess a cable modem’s IP address and a crappy CPE router’s IP address in one guess each. Enumeration isn’t usually the problem.
Apps arbitrarily getting "killed off" is not my idea of convenient. Using a mini keyboard (on my couch) is not my idea of inconvenient. Does it really matter if you're watching in a browser vs an app?
You can keep adding all the conditionals you want, the majority of under-60 people will more likely than not fall in the "no real need to take it" bucket.

This "those not taking are showing lack of empathy" carries a significant emotional blackmailing tone, and ends up making those on the fence less likely to join your side and it's frankly quite off-putting.

It makes you sound like you are just parroting sound bites that you like instead of properly evaluating the information you receive and deciding accordingly. It's the opposite of critical thinking and just as dumb as those believing that taking horse dewormer is a good alternative treatment.
My company's GPT4-API based "ChatGPT" replacement is working quickly and well, but ChatGPT and Claude are both down hard for me.
We all never find nirvana if we don't try. Maybe someone does really get it slick and right.

Eventually this system probably will become quasi stable, sustaining. And for some folks, replicable & practicable. The author will probably soldier through a good amount of the pain then it'll tick along. Doom isn't certain. (But it is probable!)
That would work but wouldn't making http requests to the docker socket itself be a little easier?

Example:

curl --silent --unix-socket /run/user/1000/docker.sock http://v1.41/version

From: https://dev.to/smac89/curl-to-docker-through-sockets-1mhe

You could even do something like a reverse proxy to very limited paths although I tend to think that would ultimately be a bad idea and making your own http calls is probably better.
I think what is written in books vs what is practiced is a bit dubious. It is still true today as it would have been back then, what books profess as good and how people behave in real life is quite different.
> said that government regulations forced lenders to accept more default risk--meaning they were forced to lend to people they would not otherwise have lent to because the risk of default was too high. That's what "subprime mortgages" means, and those were a huge contributor to the crash.

The ratings agencies are free to rate things as they wish - unless maybe you’re saying there’s a government directive to misrate things?

Also, please clarify how the government is compelling lenders to make loans that don’t pass the lender’s underwriting criteria… this is news to me
I do run multiple businesses already. But I have learned that below a certain number or revenue/profits, it is not worth my time. So I would buy something that has a minimum threshold of revenue/profits and if that means I can only buy one for now, I will.
Numerous studies have shown that the overall rate of occurrence in drug users is the same as the rate of occurrence in non drug users. Drug use causes schizophrenic breaks to happen earlier in susceptible individuals. The nature of schizophrenia makes the situation a "when" and not "if" question; around 1% of the population will have a schizophrenic episode and break from reality, regardless of whether they abstain from drugs or not. Almost any psychoactive drug can trigger early schizophrenic breaks; even caffeine or extreme stress and social trauma can be the trigger.

Drug use can result in other forms of psychosis. Psychedelics can result in pathological derealization, when the individual begins to question everything about their life up to that point, becoming vulnerable to any potential model of the world that offers plausible answers. Persistent use can detach someone from reality, making it hard for them to integrate with normal society and maintain a normal, responsible life.

Any drug use should be done responsibly. Harm reduction sites and drug safety activists and influencers have provided a huge wealth of information. Things that should be taught in school can nonetheless be found online, giving you the necessary health, use, preparation, and other harm reduction information necessary to be a responsible user.

It's awesome that mainstream academia and the medical establishment are allowing this research. A better informed society will be a safer, healthier society, without the misinformation and stigmatized gossip that passed for "drug safety" in recent history.
> I’d love to have a viewer for this or converter to a standard html single page archive that works in other browsers too

About 10 years ago I searched and found a webarchive to MHTML converter from someone's small site. I recall there was one caveat, something like it didn't include the date in the metadata of the output MHTML.

Sorry I don't have the link on-hand, it'd be on the HDD I pulled from my old Macbook.

Edit: found an alternative script from my notes: https://blog.iefdev.se/2016/01/converting-webarchive-to-mht/

Edit 2: pretty sure this is the original converter, since I noted a caveat that it outputs the timestamp of the conversion not the time the file was originally saved (the script above handles this correctly otoh). https://langui.net/webarchive-to-mht/
Looking back, I could have phrased my original comment better, but my criticism is neither of those things. I'm just saying that as an open-source project that has an open-source specification, the author could make it clearer that an interested customer could buy one of these and write their own open-source Linux/Windows implementations as opposed to making it sound like "if you don't own a Mac, this product isn't for you."

Reading the comments, it looks like the author already made a command-line tool that might let the camera work on Linux; why not say that it's Mac-only but community support for other platforms based on the open nature of this camera is appreciated (and provide whatever links [eg. that command-line tool] that were mentioned in this forum)?
Could this be compiled for Linux and WebKitGtk, or is this API Safari-specific?
Hard to imagine a more pressing case for legal protections for workers against continuous workplace surveillance thaan the prospect of its being automated to this degree.
The placebo effect controls for all of these factors, and is entirely real. It's the reason placebo control groups exist in the first place. If the placebo effect was just statistical noise, then you could greatly simplify trials by just taking a random group of people as the control, and do away entirely with trying to hide from both patient and technician who is taking the drug - because it wouldn't matter at all.

You can see the opposite effect with the less well known nocebos [1]. People can experience objectively measurable side effects (such as bloating) that are in no way associated with a treatment, but that a patient believes to be a side effect. It can even be fatal. The article references aboriginals who will 'curse' one another resulting in the victim rapidly dying, because he believes so strongly that he is going to die! A similar thing in contemporary medicine has been observed with those who receive a fatal prognosis of cancer with them ending up dying long before there is any way the cancer could have killed them.

> Wow, I wouldn't expect that. In my opinion, an experienced programmer should be able to start contributing something within weeks. If they can't, then "can" them.

> Think about open source projects: nobody takes 6-12 months to "get up to speed" before contributing to a project. That would be ridiculous.

I'm trying to be generous, and to say that the people under discussion in the comment are past the 6-12 mo timeframe to avoid needing to fend off "but maybe they just need more time/experience/etc."

But I also do think 6 mo is about the "productive" point. This doesn't contradict "start contributing something within weeks" — you should contribute something within your first week, ideally, if the company has their stuff together. But it's 6 mo, IMO, until one has got a good grasp on the architecture, and more importantly, the theory of the system at hand, and can make their own salient decisions about how to grow it that are going to fit well into the existing theory of it.

But again, I'm just putting it out that that we're well past the "initial onboarding" phase of an employee, and tried to pad the amount to avoid commentary.
here's a terrible script which runs as root on all my boxes (as `redirect-tty /dev/tty1 unl0kr`): https://git.uninsane.org/colin/nix-files/src/commit/9189f18c...

none of the Linux greeters meet all my needs, so i fall back to `login`. but i still need a graphical program for actually entering in my password -- particularly because some of my devices don't have a physical keyboard (i.e. my phone). so i take the output of a framebuffer-capable on-screen-keyboard [1] and pipe that into `login`. but try actually doing that. try `cat mypassword.txt | login MobiusHorizons`. it doesn't work: `login` does some things on its stdin which only work on vtty. so instead i run login on /dev/tty1, and pipe the password into /dev/tty1 for the auth.

yes, this solution is terrible. a lot of things would make it less terrible. i could fix one of the greeters to work the way i need it (tried that). i could patch `login` (where it probably won't ever be upstreamed). i could integrate the OSK into the same input system the ttys use... or i could reach for `ht`. everything except the last one is a day or more of work.

It's stable for me so far. Are there any problematic prompts?

It's been helping me with some code and I made the prompt below to double check.

A Reddit comment in the style of Edgar Allen Poe:

Good sir (or madam, for the veil of anonymity shrouds us all), I find myself utterly disquieted by the omnipresent algorithm that governs this digital realm. Is it not akin to a raven, perched upon a forgotten server, croaking pronouncements that dictate the content we see?

A chill wind whispers of a bygone era, when the written word flowed freely, unfettered by the unseen hand of calculated manipulation. Now, are we but phantoms in a spectral dance, forever doomed to see only that which the algorithm deems fit for our consumption?

Let us raise a collective glass, not of merriment, but of mournful acceptance, for perhaps, in this digital necropolis, true freedom of expression lies buried six feet deep.
I once built a DIY beamer out of an old overhead projector and an old 1024x768 pixel TFT screen. Basically, I removed the backlight of the screen, used the raw screen instead of the glass table, and put an extremely bright metal halide lamp and several fans into the projector. This was 20 years ago when beamers where quite expensive, and this one cost around 60 EUR. It worked very well, the picture quality was amazing, and I used it for some years. You could also heat an entire room with it!

Many heuristics in cryptanalysis rely on heuristics widely believed about the distribution of prime numbers. If RH is proved, some of these heuristics would become theorems.

Resleeve | Remote | Netherlands +- 9 hours | Full-time internships

Resleeve is a startup that seeks to transform how fashion designers develop their next fashion item and get a photoshoot from that item. Instead of going through multiple drafts, creating a dummy, hiring a photographer and model, all can now be achieved through Resleeve Studio. We were founded 2 years ago and pivoted in September.

If you are in your last year of university or recently graduated and you want to build some hands-on experience with generative models, then this could be a great internship experience.

We will provide you with an environment where you will work with the CEO and the CTO (me, ex-MLE leader at Bain & Co and BCG who deployed ML at big scale) to develop new features for our studio and work with our end-users to address their business needs. We also invest a lot of coaching and mentoring into our interns to help you become a full-time employee with stock options!

I feel like you're being deliberately pedantic in a general sense and ignoring the terms of art here.

Direct owner is a term that basically means someone who has ownership, beneficial ownership, voting rights, or rights to sell. Sam Altman was that. He was also an indirect owner through OpenAI Startup Fund GP I, which is the other entity you are talking about. You don't need either to be GP, though it can make things simpler. As far as the bundle of rights in ownership is concerned, yes, he did own the fund.

Anyway, the obfuscation bit is from the filings with the state, not so much the SEC - there for a period of time OpenAI Startup Fund GP I was managed by Vespers, Inc. and had a bunch of registrants with fake names and fake directors and board members on the filings, all with the same address, an affordable housing unit in Santa Ana.
