> This is why black box AIs should not be tolerated. Making a decision is one thing. Being able to explain that decision is something else.

This is basically not possible with deep-learning. Perhaps an alternative is to require organisations using AI systems like this to define policies around how they make their decisions, and then allow consumers to hold them to their policies.

i.e. a policy of not discriminating based on race, and then checking that they don't, and punishing them if they do. They can still use an AI system, perhaps even a racist one if they control for it correctly.

Mandating technological details rarely works, is hard to police, and doesn't keep up with technology. Mandating the outcomes however can work.
Bundle it into a pex and distribute that. Its still way large but its easy to distribute.
I'm guessing GP's point is that x86 makes really strong memory consistency guarantees.

It makes life easier for programmers of multithreaded software, but at the cost of high synchronization overhead.

Contrast to e.g. Arm, where programmers can avoid a lot of that synchronization, but in exchange they have to be more careful.

Despite its benefits over LCDs, it had no chance to compete on price. LCD prices just plummeted to far too fast.

OLED is the current equivalent (with perhaps QLED) and micro LED on the horizon.

And it worked lmao

I wonder if there is any code path I could hit by having the AI return something malicious
There are already many smaller competitors such as Paradigm, eClinicalWorks, Intellicure, gGastro, Athena, Practice Fusion, PrimeSUITE, eMD Central, NextGen etc.

Those are just the ones I've had to work with in the past but I'm sure there's many more.

Probably exactly what academics are being told by their university PR departments.
>What about the part where factory-constructed housing is more consistent and higher quality than site-constructed? If I ever build custom, I'd love to use prefab panels, at least.

That's kind of my point. Modular is mostly a design/aesthetic/quality choice for people who can afford it. You would think that the entire purpose would be affordability vs. onsite with the huge labor savings. But these things are so marked up it ends up being pointless in that regard.
Asking out of ignorance, on average, compared to people without disabilities, do disabled people produce more or less than their non disabled peers, academically speaking?

If they are then, an objective system would pick a disabled person, else it should pick a non disabled person, other things being equal or better.

As a matter of law and ethics the answer could be different in either case, but objectively, is the system outputting the better answer?

Of course laws and ethics may direct us otherwise.

Hawking was disabled, but you’d be hard pressed to find a better astrophysicist, for example.

Most people can't draw (at all) and I think that supports your point.

The unit economic analysis here is really off. Waymo loses a billion dollars a year on operating in only two or three cities. The cost is clearly not just the CapEx of buying the vehicles, there’s an incredible amount of ongoing engineering that takes place behind the scenes. Cruise had roughly 1.5 engineers assigned to each vehicle on the road at all times.
If a very wealthy person passes by our products, the price will instantly double…

Neah, I am only daydreaming.
That's not at all our experience at ardour.org.

Most PRs happen against the main branch, maybe after a private feature branch, maybe not.

Meanwhile, major developments happen in a feature branch, and these are almost always owned by a single person who is responsible for rebasing against the main branch (and eventually merging back there).

But maybe our development team and pace are not good tests for this model.

I do not know what reply was expected.

It is meant to be helpful, informative, and clear. Unfortunately, that is not always the case.
> PHP is downright dangerous.

No... you can write secure code in PHP perfectly well. However, a lot of code written in PHP is insecure, and the reason for that is simple - PHP has relatively low barrier of entry, which means a lot of people that know little about security write in PHP.
> You can't even login at failsave console.

Linux consoles (the ttys that appear over local display or remote-access KVM, or the ttyS* devices that appear over serial ports and IPMI SoL) do not use sudo or su. Those consoles use a program like `getty`, or a window-manager; all those programs are non-suid programs that are started as root.

Your system should have a root password set, for logins via console.
Another thing that's easy to miss is that, unfortunately, renewables tend to be correlated. An event that reduces insolation over a large area, for example, will affect solar and wind over a large area. So simply over-building is a lot more expensive than it seems when you need to be able to handle tail risks.
Would there be any point? Given the TV sizes of the 60s standard glass was probably more than strong enough, and the tube wouldn’t be very heavy.

No one would need to really think about until around 2000.
I think that would be a good idea and the only way it would work.

Unless this is way, way, way more polished you won't see a Mayo Clinic or Cedars-Sinai using something like this. They tried that 20 years ago and it was scrapped for Epic.

If it targeted smaller rural access hospitals or smaller practices and sold consulting and hosting services it might work if it way undercut the current bigger players... But this market is already way more crowded than the massive enterprise systems like Cerner-Oracle and Epic.
I think you believe that "normal" people have some magic hi-res virtual movie projector that superimposes crystal clear visions inside their heads. No, it's all just memories and concepts. Their response to thinking about the Mona Lisa is the same as yours. You know which way she faces, don't you?
100 000 times yes: I do something similar and I described that here on HN in a comment / comments in the past!

The way I do is a bit different...

I'm using a dedicated machine as my physical "SSH console" and that machine is living on a private LAN which is separated from the rest of the machines at home. It's on an unmanaged switch, using ethernet cables (but no trunk).

Then the only way to login is using SSH but, here's a little spin... with a Yubikey.

The desktop PC has its own firewall, only accepting SSH traffic in from the IP / MAC address of my "SSH console" (on the private LAN it's sharing with the SSH console... On the other physical LAN, my desktop can access the Internet).

Then the sshd daemon is configured to only allow pub/priv key logins, no password logins.

So basically when I need root, I boot up my "SSH console" (which boots ultra quickly for there's basically nothing on that machine), log in, hit the up arrow to get back the "ssh root@..." line, hit enter, press the Yubikey.

That "ssh console" and its keyboard is on my desk, always withing reaching distance.

iptables/nftables (on a private LAN moreover, physically separated from the other private LAN) + sshd: you judge if this is more or less secure than sudo binaries / su.

As to the "why", I'd answer "because I can". I did set that up such a long time ago that I don't even remember when I did. I think I started toying with that idea two years ago and I've been using it ever since. Zero problem. Not a single issue.
Part of the problem is the definition has drifted, and the cell carriers want to (understandably) keep using the old definition, and the tech geeks (understandably) want the new one. When "unlimited" data became a thing, it was in a world where data for your phone was sold in bundles of hundreds of MB, and when you hit your cap, you had no more data at all, or were charged quite a bit of money per extra MB. In that world, it was possible to turn a $60 phone bill into a $600 phone bill doing less data traffic in a month than most smart phone users will use in a day. And so in that world, "unlimited" data was clearly and well understood to mean "no hard cutoff and no overage charges". Maybe "unmetered" would have been a better term, but "unlimited" was something of a term of art already in the cell industry as applied to voice minutes (see "unlimited nights and weekends") and to text messages, where in both of those cases this was also understood to refer to a no hard cutoff or overage charges. For most consumers, the "limits" of their cell service has always been the line before they had to start paying more. And a throttled data pipe is well within that understanding.
The Google Prius, RX450h, and Pacifica were all hybrids. The power plant and autonomy system are nearly completely independent.

You said "artists don't serve any valuable role in society".

I've never seen anyone say that. To me it's obviously false; the Internet has enabled huge wealth creation.
In the early aughts something like this would have had zero moderation and we'd have just accepted it. This as is it's pretty touchy.

Me too (binding.pry). I think of it as REPL based development.
Rising olive oil prices is what brought my attention to this article: only 6 months ago I could buy olive oil for 20 cents/ounce and this week the lowest price was 48 cents/ounce. Alternatives at far lower prices piqued my curiosity.

I'm super biased admittedly as I have worked on the implementation side for these big systems but...

Try to ask those same friends to agree on the "correct" workflow for some aspect of their clinical work. You won't find agreement in the same state, in the same hospital system, in the same hospital, or even in the same department.

I can't claim what is out there is great, but it's like that quote about democracy. It is a terrible system but the best available.

Making something like this open source could work, but whenever this comes up on HN it seems like people think making it open source magically makes it better. It's not technically complex, just organizationally complex to find agreement - and I think open source would make that aspect harder.
There was a time where I felt like this. Especially early as a founder as we began to bring on staff for the first time. I started to feel that if I wasn't building the things then someone would call me out for not being deserving of the founder title any more.

It took a long time to grow out of this feeling. These days I get a lot of joy from management. I try to look at myself like a coach on a sports team. I may not be on the field but I feel good when we win knowing the work I have done to help my team succeed.

I would agree with the author that the feedback loop is different. It is also often slower and more subtle. That doesn't however mean that it's not there. Perhaps the author is new to management, perhaps the author just really likes being an IC. Their journey is their own but I would certainly say there are many paths to endorphins as a manager, even as a manager of managers.
Farm is not a company, `Inc.` is a mistake. Farm is developed by a community team, sponsor welcome!
The existence of situations where the optimization is not appropriate, such as multiplayer input replay, does not invalidate the many situations where it is appropriate.
I'm not sure I agree with this argument. Sure you can say theoretically it's one less account that could be compromised, but in practice I see a bunch of caveats.

1. If we allow password based logins, there will be many orders of magnitude more login attempts to root than any other user. So if you have to allow password based logins, you pretty much never want to allow root login.

2. If we disallow password based logins, a user account would be as save as a root login, except again that the root account is the much more valuable target so will get much more attention. I also do see the relevance of cronjobs (root does run them as well) and naturally no user that has sudo privileges should be be running network exposed services.

3. In cases were admin rights have to be shared amongst multiple users, are you going to share the same key for all users (probably not a good idea) or give every user a separate key (making key management a bit of a nightmare, user management is much easier).

4. As you pointed out yourself sudo gives you much more fine-grained control over commands that can be run.
A lambda lives for a relatively short period of time, ephemeral.
It only handles a single request at a time but will live long enough to serve multiple requests.
If another request comes in while one is in process a new lambda can spin up.

As a lambda lives for a period of time you can create a pool for that individual lambda. That pool lives for the life of the lambda.

Now for things like HTTP clients this is generally OK.

If you have a Postgres pool etc, it's not ok. Postgress doesn't like lots of connections and you will have POOL_SIZE * NUMBER_OF_ACTIVE_LAMBDA connections.

So unless you limit the number of Lambda's you have using reserved capacity Lambda's are simply not a good fit for running a PG pool locally inside the lambda for web stuff.

If you have a batch job, that runs once a day, with a single lambda, inserts a bunch of records in to postgres or similar, then a small pool in the lambda is fine.

So a lot depends on what you are doing in the lambda, how many you have, what your downstream service you are connecting to us.
It's great the author is passionate about Waymo but wow this reads like an advertisement.
We've got root passwords set on, IIRC, all of our systems. They're long, random, and can only be entered through the console on the VGA port or the IPMI console.
It's the same old thing with any vertical market software. Do you modify your business processes to suit an existing piece of software or customize the software to suit your existing business processes? Every healthcare provider organization likes to believe that they're a special snowflake with unique requirements. That's almost never true, but it's tough to convince the decision makers and veto holders otherwise.

I am making a general comment about industry dynamics here. Not recommending OpenEMR.
Have often heard that YC picks the "best" founders and lets them work on whatever.

Which is interesting given that the last two batches had 90+% of founders being young and from SF.

So either international founders should quit running startups because they will never be great. Which is insulting.

Or YC is being a bit flexible with the truth and they do have a clear investment thesis.
I threw out a 17" Trinitron last year. It had outlived all of the flatscreens bought to replace it and was still working, but after ~23 years the plastic casing was dangerously brittle. It left a trail of little bits of broken plastic all the way to the dumpster.

Yea ok I get your scenario now.

> In fact, the only thing he can prove to the world is that, at some point, Alice wrote some message to somebody, but neither that that somebody was him, nor what that message might have contained.

If he can decrypt it he can show the message to the world. And he can then use the approach from the article to show the world Alice signed the MAC key, hence she has communicated with him.

But yeah, I forgot to consider MACs (I blame bedtime). I agree Bob can't prove which message Alice sent if that key is reused, or reuse can't be reliably rejected by third parties.
The existence of a theoretically pure floating-point behavior doesn't have any impact on the reality of the implementations we program for.
It’s just preference at that point IMO, and I’d base it off “what language are the rest of the scripts using?”.
While I don’t remember hearing the term before, it absolutely sounds like something on marketing department would come up with.

HD was around, but incredibly uncommon, in the late 90s. I remember seeing news segments and stuff on it every once in a while about how it was coming “soon”.

It doesn’t seem too unlikely to me that you might be able to trick some buyers into thinking “oh that’s that thing I heard about“.

> nobody would bother re-testing all those n-1 commits after the fix was added

I do.
Using FSD every single day and it's amazing how well it works.
Neither workflow fixes anything. Each strategy helps with some things, but require discipline in other things.

Using merges lets you commit as you go, without needing to go back to repeat a test on a previous commit, and only worry about conflicts at the end of your development. Write code, test, commit. Write more code, test, commit. Cherry-pick, test, commit. Merge into main, fix conflicts, finish merge. There's never a need to go back and re-test, like with rebase, because the commits that were already tested are still there. But they require discipline to not pollute history, and being open to squashing commits that don't add any useful information (you want to avoid having "WIP"-style commits).

Using rebases lets you rewrite commits to take advantage of the most recent changes from the main branch, instead of waiting until you finish with your feature. But they require discipline to go back and repeat tests to ensure that any commit that changed still works as expected (and it's needed because the commits changed, hence their different hash, so they are no longer the commit hashes that were tested), and being open to having some merge commits (you want to avoid rebasing a 10 commit migration of your telemetry library because if 3 months later you find out your costs in production were way higher than what they told you they would be, reverting a single merge commit is more dumbproof compared to reverting a manually provided range of commits).

So yes, choosing one or the other is a social problem. Both are good solutions with good discipline, and both are bad solutions with bad discipline. One of those makes it less likely for people in my bubble to make a mess out of that repo. It might be the same as for your bubble, or it might be different.

But on a good project it doesn't really matter which one is done.

I can only tell you that I do not have mental imagery and am not constantly surprised by my surroundings. Object permanence has absolutely no dependency on visualization; it is completely unsurprising to me that the stop sign near my house looks the same each time I encounter it.

I totally get that you, having lived a life where mental imagery is such an integral part of your baseline experience, assume that many of the things you rely on it for require it. However, the human brain is impressively adaptable, and it turns out many, many aspects that people assume are linked (and may well be for them as individuals) are not globally so.

This thread is full of such realizations - people assuming ability at chess, art, tetris, spatial reasoning, abstract reasoning, architectural design, conceptualizing of DB schemas, etc. must be correlated with facets of thought like strength of mental imagery, presence of an inner monologue, ability to dream, etc. In all of those cases, people have chimed in with (anecdotal, to be sure) counterexamples. It turns out brains are generally capable of doing a lot of different things in a lot of different ways.

This definitely makes me more confident in my “manage code, not people” philosophy in my career. I live for the technical problem solving, and I’d take work satisfaction over X% wage increase any day.

It was one of the main driving forces that pushed me out of the military. They expected you to keep ranking up, and once you hit E5 or so the amount of non-management roles dried up. I saw what the remaining higher up programmers did all day and didn’t want any part of it.
