This is not a valid interpretation of this case. The judge concluded that the employer fired the employee in retaliation for union activity. The company claimed they fired him for lying on his resume, but they couldn't prove that was the reason (which is their burden to prove), and it wasn't consistent with prior company behavior. E.g. they had a recorded conversation about how they could figure out a way to not hire a union applicant, and they had never fired anyone for a similar infraction before.

Importantly, the only detail on the resume that was false was the name of the prior employer. They had accrued the same experience at a union employer instead. This case doesn't allow you to arbitrarily lie on your resume in order to salt, and you can still fire someone for lying if you can reasonably prove that.
Honestly, if the US still wants Trump badly enough to vote him in, we deserve what we get. Fuck it. At least I'll enjoy watching this place burn.
Cool to see another library in this space!

I see that you took the test cases from Turndown. However Turndown isn’t actually that accurate. This is especially noticeable when converting entires websites.

The best comparison would be against Pandoc. That is (in my opinion) the best html to markdown converter right now.

Although it is extremely difficult to handle every edge case. As an example, this usually causes problems:

The mini-abacus is how I use them as well. I was in a math competition where you were not allowed to use any scratch paper or make any stray marks on the test nor could you attempt to correct your mistakes with an eraser or trying to turn a 7 into a 9 or similar. There was nothing against counting on fingers, so there are time where I still calculate with my finger tips
Not exactly salvage, but more like buying in volume from government entities trying to liquidate either actual surplus or fairly new but legally required retired machines. The feds go through the GSA, state and local do their own thing for the most part. It's not unusual to see agencies attempt to sell multiple palettes of computers or just about anything you can imagine for next to nothing. Example: https://www.gsaauctions.gov/auctions/preview/288722

I personally disliked dealing with federal agencies, but entities as local as a school district can easily have a palette of relatively new machines, sans hard drive, and are far more flexible in payment and how you choose to get it to you. For a brief period I used to rent a truck and do weekly runs from Brooklyn mostly to Maryland and Virginia and Pennsylvania and get back to my one bedroom with 90-120 computers. At the palette level prices can get down to the $10-$20 each machine level (probably higher now due to inflation), hard drives aren't really that expensive either. The biggest headache was shipping but the process is likely far more streamlined today. Of course, it probably would've been even cheaper if I didn't operate out of a tiny 1 BR in Brooklyn and can actually own a vehicle and have reliable parking It's not exactly my tax dollars at work, but effectively it is a sort of subsidized sale at the taxpayer's expense, Intel isn't really selling anything for pennies on the dollar, but pretty much every municipality and county government will, at least at some point.

You forgot the biggest drawback to employers: not being able to get honest feedback about the prospective employee from the previous employer.
Let me simplify all this. There is a risk of escalation by doing something or nothing either way. What you do is tell Russia over 5-6 incursions is that planes will be shot down on the 7+ time. In between dialog, risk control.

Also nato should not enter Russian airspace. Flex when they screw up.

Russia for all their bs know pretty much where the line is. So let's not over react. Most of it like nk missile launches is cheap symbolism. They're barely handling Ukraine. They cannot anything else too.
Knowing that a candidate will get 48%-52% of popular vote is indeed more helpful than not knowing what’s going on at all.

FWIW, Trump was given worse odds than Hilary much closer to the election using the 538 model (which is similar in principle).

Not a knock on these projections, but just a reminder that even if a lead is statistically significant, the size of the lead matters.

66% is hardly a fait accompli, especially five months out. That said, as Nate Silver has said (paraphrasing), 16% probability sounds unlikely until you're playing Russian Roulette.
I mean, it looked a lot like Hillary would win, too. 538 was an outlier in only giving her a 2/3 chance of winning when everyone else was saying 90%+.

This will replace any ventilation you lost, when installing a new window, because your previous window was leaky. If replacing your window did not reduce the amount of useful ventilation, this should be proven, and more ventilation is not needed.

I get what the optimism is about in theory. Parsing unstructured data is something we can now do that we couldn't before. It adds a whole new vector to the span of software, a big piece of capability that software now has whose emergent, unforeseen consequences we can't predict.

I'm just not quite sure I buy this. It feels to me like there's a light motte-and-bailey going on, where supposedly AI is going to be a paradigm shift that changes the very notion of what's possible, but the actual proposals are mostly about LLMs being a finite-multiplier enhancement for the existing ability of software to model and optimize processes.

In particular, a big fraction of the concrete proposals seem to be about making business processes more efficient. Are businesses generally constrained by this to begin with? Like businesses don't seem to be sprinting at the edge of software technology to get as much efficiency as they can, buying diminishing returns from existing tech and waiting eagerly for the next wave of improvements. Judging by revealed preferences, it just doesn't seem like a very high priority for them.

Taking your automated library example, that sounds very cool from a hacker/tinkerer perspective and I'm sure it would result in some efficiency improvements, but it just doesn't seem like, no offense to anyone, a problem that needs urgent attention. How does this significantly improve the situation for anyone involved?

Of course it's true that we don't know what we don't know, and I don't disagree that often technology changes the world in unpredictable ways or even that current AI could possibly lead to this. At risk of being the dropbox-is-just-rsync guy, I'm just skeptical about the following pattern:

(1) some new tech gets invented that's supposedly the next internet;

(2) no one can quite explain or plausibly hypothesize how; but

(3) in the meantime, a wave of companies start building "platforms" and selling shovels to people who will supposedly later build the actual useful thing.

It’s how LLMs work - they are effectively recursive at inference time, after each token is sampled, you feed it back in. You will end up with the same model state (not including noise) as if that had been the original input prompt.
this implies that humans have an intuitive sense of the shape of the waveform, which I think would be surprising!! And also empirically testable

(not saying you're wrong, but it's not necessarily obvious to me as true. The sound is a vibration/signal, how our brains interpret it may have no correlation to its "shape". Do we have an intuition for "spiky" electromagnetic signals? maybe we do, that's why looking at nature, smooth curves and such, is empirically more relaxing for people than artificial environments..?)

> It doesn't; it applies to EU residents. Your non-EU business is free to do whatever it wants, but as soon as you do business with EU residents EU law applies.

See, you say it only applies to EU residents, but that isn't the case.

The real issue is where you say but as soon as you do business with EU residents EU law applies., and, well, that's just nonsense.

I have a US site. I can operate my business any way I like as long as I don't break any Federal or State laws, and I can break every single EU law that doesn't have an equivalent US law.

The EU can't touch me. EU law doesn't apply to me, even if I advertise the hell out of my site to try and attract as many EU citizens as possible.

All the Eu can do is firewall me off, prosecute me if I come to the Eu and police or punish its citizens.

> This is more or less how it works everywhere (with some exceptions).

It's really not. The EUs claim of global jurisdiction is unique and a first. There may have been loosely similar things, but nothing quite like this.

> But not because "EU laws apply globally".

You should inform the EU they should correct their legislation then.

One very nice property of an AST is that it's an IR that is allowed be instable even if the syntax it represents is stabilized. If the AST becomes the source of truth on the file system you lose that property.

On top of that, now you need to write a parser and compiler for your AST file. It's probably very simple and does rudimentary validation, but that defeats the point of the AST - it's a valid, canonical representation of a program by construction.

All in all, it seems like a good idea, and people have done it. But there's also good reasons to be apprehensive.

And at the end of the day, you need to ingest text as input, and you need to do it as fast as possible. There's not a ton of benefit to keeping an AST around on disk and in sync with the text that generated it when you are already able to compute it faster than you can read and deserialize it.

external/independant backups are a thing. They would be part of a disaster recovery plan (and you should test the restore process and result from time to time, else they might be worthless when you actually need them).

I understand this is not helpful right now, but there are best practices and many ways to plan for this kind of stuff for good reasons. Some things can and will go wrong, and sometimes that may cost your business a lot, which means you have to anticipate (or accept) the possible costs and risks.

Thanks! Emscripten is the tool that makes it relatively easy, for stuff with source code available. So I'd say pick something and try to build it with Emscripten.

For stuff without source code you'll have to use emulation. DOSBox and MAME have web ports already. I haven't looked into them much. But the Internet Archive has a big collection of games that run in them already. So check that to see if the game you want is already available.

Experience in software development isn't linear so depending on which path your experience has taken it could be very insightful and useful, or it could be stuff you already know.

The justification for Bayesian inference, that the posterior will eventually converge to the true distribution, breaks down unless your prior has support for a good approximation to the data-generating model.

> Finnish is a little more flexible, and syllables can end with an n, r, l or t. No consonant clusters, in any of the languages. No syllables ending with consonants outside the restricted set (if any)

What do you mean? There are words like Ahti (Ah), ankerias (as), isku (is) or lapsi (lap) which contain syllables that end in consonants other than n, r, l or t. There are also a lot of words with double consonants (like jarru, lasso, noppa, nurkka) where syllable get split at the middle.
Honest question: why do you need CloudFlare, why not self-host?
Yes. As per etymologynerd, English speakers tend to like trochaic stress rhythm in sentences, like "salt and pepper" or "lee and sophie" where a different ordering sounds weird.
There is a whole genre of puns in Swahili relating to Japanese names, some real some made up.
Reality is view stats, etc don't matter to most users. All we want is to read/research in peace.

You're missing something crucial. Yes, there may be hallucinations, but that's why there's preference for AI that provides citations; they can be easily checked. And also, in my experience, the summaries are usually decent; the sources which tend to yield pretty broken summaries also tend to intersperse unrelated material (ads, previews to other things, etc) in the content, or they're doing wild transforms with JS for example to create unnecessary eye candy. And coincidentally, I'd rather avoid those sources where possible, so it becomes an even greater win for me as user to have AI prefilter said content. Thus the sources getting those precious views in the end become the ones that respect their users' time and aversion to distractions.
At the end of the day, I guess I just don't really see what the issue is with AI hallucinations or how they make them less intelligent.

My brother in law who is extremely smart, and very well trained -- MIT PhD -- and exposed to orders of magnitude more data than ChatGPT, given that the human senses ingest gigabytes of data per day, has -- like everyone else -- persistent errors in his thinking. I single him out because of his credentials, but everyone has these.

As a particularly funny example, we were talking about steers and bulls and he was like "Oh, right, I remember, some male cattle are born bulls and some are born steers". My wife, who is similarly educated, believed for a very long time that watermelon's grew on trees. At my undergrad school, a woman who was getting her physics degree and then who eventually went on to get a PhD, fundamentally believed that yeast would not rise if you talked around it -- I guess her parents had told her that and she never questioned it.

That is to say, humans lack full knowledge. We're trained on significantly more data than ChatGPT et al. We still have persistent inaccuracies despite all of that. We're not perfect.

That doesn't make us less useful. Half the time we just rely on other humans trained on similar, but slightly different data, to iron those out, and indeed AI systems that employ those methods get better accuracy.

Now again, my brother in law has fewer errors than most people since he is very smart. However, the vast majority of people are really not that bright (rumor has it that fifty percent have below average intelligence), and yet, simply through verification with other humans, they are able to accomplish useful things.

Sometimes even very capable people have persistent thinking errors. This doesn't make them less smart. No one can claim perfect intelligence. That's the only thing that's bullshit.
If your business depends on it, not backing it up in some other place on a consistent basis is a bad idea. The cost of this should be factored into the price you charge people. 800GB would be less than 20 dollars on S3, all you have to figure out is the replication process, but that shouldn't be rocket science either.

Exactly. I don't believe that the argument that some software somewhere at some point could have some vague security flaw in it is usually good enough to justify not running the kinds of software most of us here work on. It's solipsistic, and honestly seems a little in bad faith.

But it's also moot: if you're that afraid of vague security threats, then just don't expose your software to the internet. It's not difficult.
