What is the process for making AI acceptably reliable for medical use? Is it just drastically reducing the standard of "reliable"? Who is liable for AI medical errors?
If a browser has too many compatibility issues, users will switch away. Outreach to the sites in question takes time and is often unsuccessful. Quirks is the pragmatic answer.
Yet its pages load much faster than most websites, no cookie popups, no "subscribe to our newsletter" slide-ins, no phenomenon where the content loads but then a second later the page resets and re-loads the content again (probably with more ads or something), no images only getting loaded and popping in view while you scroll (rather than do it a bit predicatively beforehand so they'd pop in outside of your view to give a less slow impression), etc...
I found this article to be quite vexing; she seems to dance around the actual terms and instead likes to define them by exclusion, which is pretty weird.
I think there's still people who care, I know I do and a lot of my peers in tech do too.

The problem is, I guess, that in times of multiple crisis which only seem to get worse, people worry about other things.

I am sad though that I agree, the fight for digital liberty and authority over your own data has largely been lost for the majority of people, and they don't seem to understand or care enough to change it.
Quite. Provability can often come long after utility is established.

> Viagra should make you "pop" regardless of what activity you're doing.

No it doesn't. It simply makes the effect of sexual stimulation more effective. If you body is not trying to engorge the penis it has little to no effect on that part of you.

At least that is my experience of taking it.
I'm pretty sure that I would get a diagnosis of ADHD, because of my experience (in my youth) with amphetamines. Everyone else would be off their heads and I felt really focused and together (and could sleep!).
Obviously Tay was not well trained? I think you can see the commentor's basic point, right?

It sounds like it's good practice to get two copies of a document from two different sources, and to compare their hashes before publishing them. You can embed data in anything, so this would include images, audio files, PDF files, or programs. At least for Elsevier it's pretty obvious they're using a key to track you.
Britain is not just an empire, it's one of the paradigmatic empires — an example you'd point to when trying to explain what an empire is. Or do you just mean that it's maybe not much of an empire any more, since, as wikipedia notes, "the handover of Hong Kong to China on 1 July 1997 symbolised for many the end of the British Empire"?
What counterparty risk? You own stocks and you owe stocks. How can that go wrong?

But come on, counterparty risk with big institutions is such a small thing. Are you going to tell me that putting your money in a vault is gambling because someone could steal it? Is subscribing to Netflix gambling because the servers might go down?

Having a net-zero position is the closest to not gambling anyone can get.

How about this, can we agree that having short or long stocks is a high number out of 10 on the gambling scale, but just counterparty risk with an enormous company is a 2 out of 10? What do we call the process of reducing your number from high to 2?
Webrecorder's are by far the best imo. https://archiveweb.page and Browsertrix Crawler. ArchiveBox uses wget internally for it's WARC generation but I'd love to integrate it with Webrecorder in the future for this part.
Do you think AI is going to solve the problems of proprietary data formats and retraining entire workforces to whole new workflows?

AI isn't, so far as I can tell, a universal Easy Button®.

Open Source didn't scratch the surface of those problems, but AI will solve them somehow?
All this has nothing to do with outputting standard conformant CSS+HTML.
The demise of the British Trading Company.

When Britain stopped enforcing their economic and political superiority with military action, was the end of the "British Empire."
Tell HN: Looks like ChatGPT starts profiling you
So just yesterday I asked ChatGPT 4o something in a new chat and after answering the question, it referred to a plan of mine from a multiple weeks old chat that was 100% not in current context.

This hit me as being incredibly scary since so far I've been treating chats like disposable browser tabs and my intuition was that GPT was limited by context anyway. It looks to me like there's a silent change behind the scenes that starts aggregating a profile of mine to inject into context.

From interviews, I know they're after building a helpful assistant that "knows everything about you", but this struck me as very surprising anyhow, and I'm still trying to understand why.

I think it's the combination of

- silently adding this feature without info or opt-in

- retroactively applying it to chats

- assuming all previous chats and questions are from the same person

- apparently assuming no sensitive stuff has been discussed so far

Not sure if others think this is okay and especially since I've opted out of training on my data, I'm even wondering whether this is legal under GDPR Art. 19 (I'm a EU "data subject").

Thoughts and experiences appreciated.

We already know that disability in general tends to be rendered invisible unless it's a really widespread condition, and long covid symptoms are themselves invisible to others.
An approach I've had to EU elections is that tiny, single-seat parties often do invaluable opposition work through parliamentary requests and access to internal documents.

It's why it's sad to see Pirates lose their representation, even though their program isn't great.
I wonder why browsers don't show a bit of UI that it's in compatibility mode and give a way to disable (or enable for other domains for dev/testing).
Because updating to become conformant might come with the risk of making it a "modern" overhaul :/
Oh, that's exciting. As I understand it Google originally purchased the .dev TLD and no one else could use it. I've been checking with AWS for several years to see if they supported .dev and as they don't I just assumed that no one else did either. It looks like I have some work to do when I get back from vacation. :grin:

Oh, it is even worse.

The MAIN reason for microservices was that you could have multiple teams work on their services independently from each other. Because coordinating work of multiple teams on a single huge monolithic application is a very complex problem and has a lot of overhead.

But, in many companies the development of microservices/agile teams is actually synchronised between multiple teams. They would typically have common release schedule, want to deliver larger features across multitude of services all at the same time, etc.

Effectively making the task way more complex than it would be with a monolithic application
Pretty much all of the HTML validator "errors" warnings for outdated attributes and the like. The "No space between attributes" one is pretty much the only real error.
The fossil industry is going to make specious arguments no matter what we try to do. It's not like they'll say "oh, you're focusing on solar, guess we'll just shut down our businesses then."

In my ideal world, we'd have a fee on CO2 emissions equal to the cost of verifiably absorbing them, and use the money to actually absorb them. If the fossil industry wants to rely on DAC and keep emitting, that's what that looks like. Pointing that out is an easy response to those specious arguments; the fossil industry definitely does not want that world, because the fee would be high enough to drive rapid adoption of low-carbon technologies for everything but the most difficult cases.

Back in the real world, since DAC is at the start of its exponential adoption curve and depends on political action to reach any kind of scale, it's unlikely to get big enough to interfere with renewables in any meaningful way over the next decade at least, probably more. We can afford to work on it.
To clarify, I don't close my ears to everything going on in the outside world. I just don't get my information from news websites or tv stations etc.

I still like to talk to people about what is going on. I find that less stressful, maybe because when talking with friends, family, colleagues, we don't tend to use such alarmist language (at least the people I talk to don't).

As for point b), I can imagine this might not be true, as long as it really was the case that no-one was informed. Hard to plan and orchestrate bad things without information!
Renewables + batteries scale way faster and cheaper than nuclear these days.
In Poland they built "1000 schools for 1000 years of Polish state" in 60s. The plan for these schools was to use them as military hospitals, so they also have these features. Among other things every classroom has tap water, there's wide doors etc.

The Autosan bus that was built in dozens of thousands for regular public transport was designed with a serious weakness in the front to allow quick conversion into a military evacuation vehicle. Basically there's space for loading/unloading a stretcher through the front of the bus. Which means if you collide with a tree - it goes through that hole and splits the bus in half :/

And these concerns were everywhere. Roads were built with very wide lanes and very straight routes in some forests so they can be used as emergency military airports.

Almost all of these concerns were abandoned in 90s. Schools were renovated with more focus on usability than military adaptability. New safer buses were built. Even the education changed.

My parents had "throwing a grenade" exams at shool :) There was also first aid, shooting, etc. I was at school in 90s-00s and only first aid and some shooting for kids that wanted to do it.
I find it dubious to make this comparison in an article which does not talk about EQ, but about ability (willingness?) to play company politics. I'd wager that one is *at most* slightly correlated with EQ.

Writing inline assembly in most languages is a pain. I think there's some real opportunity to make things more ergonomic. Basically taking the idea of HLASM and other high-level assembler projects, but actually bringing them into the modern era of languages and tooling.

I would like to see a kind of "seamless" assembly feature, where asm instructions and ISA-specific registers could be made first-class objects (intrinsics are a weak version of this). Register-sized objects (like most numeric primitives, pointers, etc.) should seamlessly decay to the register in which they reside.

Also, tooling and LSPs could be improved. Wouldn't it be nice if I can text-select a section of asm and the LSP shows me latency/throughput of the block on my desired target platform? Or maybe it does some proper static analysis like noticing dead writes, or maybe a refactoring action that expands a slow div into a more optimal instruction sequence.
Have you tried Affinity Designer? I've used Illustrator for 10 (or maybe even 15?) years, for anything from illustration to UX design (before Figma, after Fireworks was sunsetted).

why test can not find it.

>During the work day, this was fine. We probably committed 10-20 times a day (directly to main of course) which would cause new backend deployments to occur, giving us 40 new IDs for customers to potentially use.

They just use the test env for prod?
When to push code, the CICD should be run and some examples should be run too here. And every time, the env should be clean.
Here the database does not change from test to production.
> "..they are not part of any empire that they know of."

this made me chuckle
While indirectly equivalent, I think the far worse side of the coin than "strengthening dogmatic ideas" is shooting down ideas that run contrary to dogma, precisely because they run contrary to dogma.

There are some great examples in science, like relativity, where basically everybody just tossed aside the old and embraced the new. But those are absolutely the exception, rather than the rule. There's a reason no less than Max Planck remarked that, "Science progresses one funeral at a time."
Because it's the greenest and safest form of base load power we have right now. It may be more expensive but the loss of human capital vs burning coal and the reliability vs renewables makes it more valuable, and that's on top of diversifying Europe's fuel sources which is a good thing.

If they would have made that mistake by writing code and just misunderstood something or oversaw the problem, fine. But making this mistake by copy-pasting from ChatGPT without proper review is just terrible.
I've been following VGC for some time now, and I definitely think it's the coolest project of its kind right now! I sincerely hope it will be widely used.
None of those things are inherently problems with threaded conversations either. Hacker News is designed to discourage long-term engagement because the quality of conversation drops and the likelihood of flamewars increases over time. It's just a matter of implementation design and goals.
Don't forget full HDR support of IINA that VLC and most other alternatives on Apple Silicon don't have.

However, VLC still provides the best subtitle style customizations.
I wonder if this implementation is exploitable by malformed libraries.
It's a good thing, freedoms should be part of a mainstream party, not some fringe pirates.
As of 1964, with the Mariner launches, the same rocket would be used to target either Antarctica or Mars.

Frankly, most "pirate topics" are things that are distant for most people.

People firstly care about migration, Ukraine war, things around energy, and secondly culture war topics. At least in my country, that stuff dominated the debates. (Especially the Ukraine war support.)

People don't care that much about chat control, GDPR, cookie laws, file sharing (the original Pirate topic), or even USB ports on iPhones. They do care but not that much to vote for them.
I agree, IF the mainstream parties would give a flying fuck about any of these issues, which they don't really do.
Their position on privacy was good, but a complete opposite to their other (disastrous) ideas. You'll find structural pro-privacy with parties like ECR.
Battery plants at the scale of conventional nuclear power plants are very few so it's not as proven as a technology. Ideally we should build both since we don't want the EU to be dependent on a single material for its base load (i.e. lithium or uranium).
I haven’t, but all of your advocacy might make me try it now. If you happen to have some YouTube videos, playlists or tutorials you would recommend to get going feel free to share :)

One possible solution would be that people who cares about digital rights and privacy would integrate a "true" leftist party, and advocate there for them to care about it.
That worked in France with La France Insoumise, that voted against Chat Control, and they have 9 seats now.

How to Rewire Your Burned-Out Brain: Tips from a Neurologist
Portal and especially Portal 2 have a very different feel to them for me - too dilapidated to evoke the same feelings as the office maze in TSP. There is also that TSP goes for retro while Portal goes for retro-futuristic.
It's great experience, but it's also slow as the compier must save the entire function state before your assembly block and cannot make any assumptions about what you do inside.

This is acceptable if you see the point of inline assembly in writing long code sections, but that's not what inine assembly is meant to solve. If you want to write long sections of assembly code, just put the whole thing into an assembly source file and link it into your binary.

gcc-style inline assembly on the other hand is designed to solve the problem of augmenting code generation with individual instructions the compiler doesn't know about. Correctly used, gcc-style asm statements typically only hold one or two instructions that are then integrated into a complex function with little to no overhead. And for this usage, the syntax and model provided by gcc is perfectly fine. It only fails if you misuse it for writing long chunks of assembly code, something for which you should have used an assembly file in the first place.

The post claims that "the Pirate Party has lost its representation in the legislative body".

However, I understand from a couple of posts that Markétka Gregorován(https://gregorova.eu/ / https://x.com/MarketkaG) has been reelected.

Marcel Kolaja, OTOH, hasn't. Here's a translation of his latest tweets:

> I find the election result hugely disappointing. As the leader of the candidate, I take responsibility for it.

> In the campaign, we failed to sell our work and explain the solutions we offer. I see it as a failure for us and other pro-European parties that the far right has grown so much in the Czech Republic.

> Secondly, I am also quitting as an MEP. It has been an honour to represent you in the European Parliament for five years. My sincere congratulations to @MarketkaG on winning her mandate and my fingers are crossed.

> She needs to work three times harder now in promoting pirate values. But I believe she can do it.

From this tweet, and from https://eurovolby.pirati.cz/ (and a fair amount of automated translation), I understand that Marcel was the leader but he is leaving his seat to Marketa, and that she is the last representative of the PP in the EP, right?

Marcel did great work for open source in the EP over the last 2 legislatures. Many thanks to him.

In my not so humble opinion, Czech Pirate Party went to shit because the saint trinity of Bartos, Michalek & Ferjencik decided that the party must look "professional", which means most competent millenials around me felt that they'd not be able to contribute to "such a competent organization" despite party lacking competent people.

Then Ferjencik spent a shitton of part money as the head of PR promoting his sister Olga in order for the party not to look so sausage-festy without disrupting the power balance instead of concentrating on mobilizing more people to come help out.

All that combined with internal populism and push to accept more and more members who were not even remotely Pirates besically turned it into a right leaning liberals with basically only the EU bunch staying true to the original idea of general populace being able to hold those in power accountable.

One of my latest acts as a member, I've moved to cancel accepting a new member who literally told us that he hopes he'd be promoted in the public company since Pirates have the Mayor, that he is against legalizing recreational drugs, insisted on sterilizing trans people "to prevent genes to spread" and wanted to keep harsh copyright around teaching materials because "those are important, right?"

And I had to fight HARD to revoke his acceptance as a member.
This paper goes in way more detail than you'd likely ever want on that topic: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3009909.
'56 is too early, given how much of east Africa was under British colonial control into the 60s, and how much of S/E Asia was still looking for independence. It's likely the population of the empire was still above 100mn at the time. I'd say '56 is more like the start of the very rapid decline of the empire.

It highlighted both to the colonised and the colonisers that the empire was way over-extended.

So, I'm fearful of that as most people here, but if any entity can manage a respectful update, it has to be someone Y Combinator can pay.
It wasn't needed this time but it would be great to have a fulltext (and binary!) and reverse image search of the internet archive. Often you know something about what you are searchng fore but have no clue about the location.

E.g. I'm interested of finding old installers of a particular type (identifyable by certain byte sequences) but they could have been hosted anywhere.

I guess this is not feasible with the current resources of the IA and if it did happen it would probably just result in them getting hammered with DMCA requests and other legal demands for content that the "owners" didn't even know was on the archive.
SOP = standard operating procedure.

I would be surprised if it was otherwise.
ARM is pretty orthogonal, though arm64 is less so. RISC-V is very orthogonal, but it sucks to program for it in assembly as the instruction set is missing even basic features.
