I know some govvies who have been through the polygraph circus.

One guy knew it was BS and could not get worried enough for them to come up with a baseline - he was too calm. So they took the tack of rescheduling it a bunch of times, making him go home after showing up so he would be good and pissed off when they actually did the test. He passed.

Another lady I know had the interviewer go so hard on her she was crying through half of it. Afterward, the interviewer told her the goal was to make every interviewee break down so they would reveal stuff.
I'm not sure why OpenAI would. They're an AI research company. You're confusing scope with their legal team's considerations.
GP is likely referring to network latency here. There's a tradeoff between smaller GPUs/etc at home that have no latency to use and beefier hardware in the cloud that have a minimum latency to use.
Apparently, yes…

> In zoology, megafauna (from Greek μέγας megas "large" and Neo-Latin fauna "animal life") are large animals. The precise definition of the term varies widely, though a common threshold is approximately 45 kilograms (99 lb), with other thresholds as low as 10 kilograms (22 lb) or as high as 1,000 kilograms (2,200 lb). Large body size is generally associated with other traits, such as having a slow rate of reproduction, and in large herbivores, reduced or negligible adult mortality from being killed by predators.

You can deal with that in .NET the "C++" way too, given that you can write abstractions with structs and generics instead of objects, use malloc and stackalloc, and more. You are not married to GC heap, despite some suggesting otherwise.

Generally speaking 60hz is not a problem but it starts to matter more with the popularity of high refresh rates. There are much more extreme cases like 1000hz game loop in OSU!, which pretty much has to use the same techniques as realtime systems that utilize GC-based language: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/96213#issuecomment-...
> They twist and contort the truth to get whoever they want out of the person being interviewed.

It's possible I just haven't watched enough of them, but I've never seen that. Usually the interviewer is a calm and dispassionate Columbo type who asks clarifying questions and then lets the suspects slowly trap themselves in their own web of lies. It is fascinating to watch.

That said, even though I have a healthy respect for the criminal justice system, I will still NEVER talk to the police without a lawyer. (Whether or not I've committed a crime.)

Yes, that seems to be a myth, but exact circumstances seem rather uncertain according to the Wikipedia article [1]:

> [A]ccording to the Roman-era writers Strabo, Plutarch, and Cassius Dio, Cleopatra poisoned herself using either a toxic ointment or by introducing the poison with a sharp implement such as a hairpin. Modern scholars debate the validity of ancient reports involving snakebites as the cause of death and whether she was murdered. Some academics hypothesize that her Roman political rival Octavian forced her to kill herself in a manner of her choosing. The location of Cleopatra's tomb is unknown. It was recorded that Octavian allowed for her and her husband, the Roman politician and general Mark Antony, who stabbed himself with a sword, to be buried together properly.

I think this rounds to “nobody really knows.”

The “glorious destiny” seems kind of shaky, too. It’s just a throwaway line anyway.

Show HN: A disposable AI assistant for social commerce
I believe an AI assistant should be as disposable as an instant ramen cup. It should be easy to use and help us get the job done. One task where an AI assistant can be very useful is avoiding the hassle of bargaining or selecting the best prospect when we try to sell or buy anything on social media. I mean using our personal accounts on Facebook or Instagram to write a simple post to sell or buy something.

I know Facebook provides an AI bot for business users or Facebook Pages, but it is too much hassle to set up. I see a lot of people selling or buying stuff on their personal accounts on social media, and I bet they feel annoyed when they have to reply to many people asking the same information or trying to haggle over the price. That's how I feel when I'm trying to sell my old stuff on Facebook.

So I spent the last 4 weeks building socool.ai. This can help us create a link with an AI assistant to handle selling or buying a product on social media. Then all of the prospects can negotiate with our AI via the link, which can save us so much time.

So, I would love to hear what you guys think about a disposable AI assistant for social commerce.

Thanks

it takes a lot of time and patient to come up with a function that works for all n and also have a short length, let me try if I can solve this problem it may takes a few hours or days or maybe months I'll post the solution here so stay tuned. but if you want to make your life easier you can generate the function in a meta language so you can always be sure that your software does not have a halting problem
There's nothing distinctly Tory about Brexit.

1. The Lib Dems also made a promise on an in/out referendum and it was in their 2010 manifesto. You may not recall this because in 2008 Jo Swinson said “the Liberal Democrats would like to have a referendum on the major issue of whether we are in or out of Europe” but by 2016 she was saying she can't forgive Cameron for allowing a vote.

2. Cameron only conceded on allowing a vote due to losing voters to UKIP, a different political party. He clearly didn't want to do it but his hand was forced by the voters.

3. Labour of course committed to and held the original in/out referendum in 1975. They also committed to holding a referendum on the EU Constitution, a promise they backpedalled on after similar referendums were lost in the Netherlands and France. Their 2015 manifesto promised an automatic referendum on any further transfer of powers to the EU.

So all the major UK parties other than the SNP have a history of either promising or holding referendums on the EU. That isn't a surprise because the EU was a major source of constitutional stress and voter unhappiness on all sides of the political spectrum.

I mention this only to add to your informative post. Humans almost drove whales extinct because their rendered fat produced less fat for lamp fuel, and they are substantially pelagic. We almost drove bison extinct in NA in a matter of decades. We are driving massive numbers of species across trophic levels extinct, right now https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/dec/29/us-anima...

It isn't a choice, climate change related habitat changes probably contributed - which is also extremely pertinent today - but when you find the extinct species bones in human habitats it's a fair sign we were a contributing and possibly decisive cause.
Calculating the percentage of the universe’s observable mass is dark matter adds 200+ billion parameters because the mass fraction of each galaxy varies.

So there’s no simple way to calculate it from say looking at the Milky Way alone and extrapolating from the baryonic mass of the rest of the universe. Trying to approximate things from a representative sample is its own problem.

Let’s be real: in the long run, there’s nothing that humans can do that machines can’t do better. Nothing.

So what is going to happen?

Well, if AI is doing all the thinking work, there’s no need for an education.

Education is already in free fall due to it being taken over by people who just want to maximize profits. This will make the problem worse.

And technology continues to isolate us and act as a conduit for whatever ideas spread the fastest- that means anything that triggers your amygdala.

A population with no jobs and no education and social connections is an angry and ignorant one. That means conservatism and conflict. Liberalism is the politics of trust. Conservatism is the politics of fear. And ignorant, isolated people are easy to manipulate.

And we in the USA live in a country flooded with guns.

The end of result of all that, in the past, has always been war. Maybe we’ll get lucky. I doubt it. There’s dry tinder piled up everywhere, and we are playing with matches.

It’s not gonna all fall apart this year. But, in 20, 30 years, with climate change and mass migration thrown into the mix, things are going to get bad.
> This matters because in an ideal world all client requests would have the correct stated User-Agent so that website administrators could manage appropriate access.

It's worth noting that a second Trump term is likely to be very different from the first one. Good people tried to help the first time, most walked away or were fired for lack of loyalty. Trump also learned this the first time, and with Mike Pence, learned he needs to pick for loyalty above all else.

There is also Project 2025, which grew out of the first term failures (Trump did not deliver much of anything he said he would), and is a concerning, concentrated effort to "drain the swamp" (by replacing it with an exclusive golf course)

The Russian invasion of Ukraine, Trump's comments on NATO, and Chinese soldiers on the Poland-Belarus border have a lot of people worried outside of America.

I don't believe that. It's using the same faculties to generate the book as it does to have conversations. If it mismatches adjective genders, misuses casing, misuses tenses, uses the wrong words, etc. then I'm not going to be able to learn the language with it. That's what I'm getting out of these machines, is _very close to but obviously not_ the language I'm trying to learn.

> These are typically mathematical tricks used for computation and don't lead to actual non-local interpretations of QM.

Bohmian mechanics is an explicitly non-local theory of QM, not merely a computational trick. It actually makes predictions that differ from QM in non-equilibrium regimes, but is consistent with QM in all regimes currently accessible to us.

> I don't think any major work is done without standard QFT.

I don't know what "major work" means. Work in quantum foundations is done without QFT all of the time. Yes, QFT is a useful effective theory, but that's a far cry from the original claim about the nature of reality, ie. that there are necessarily no hidden variables. Literally no experiment has ruled out hidden variables wholesale, only certain types of hidden variables.

> Anyway we've diverged off the actual crux which is that Quantum Conscious Woowoo theories require types of hidden variable theories which are not coherent with this Universe.

Maybe consciousness would require hidden variables, but your conclusion is still based on a fundamental error, which is that we have observations that are inconsistent with hidden variables. Since this claim is in error, then the conclusion does not follow.
Which means Codestral Mamba and DeepSeek both lead four benchmarks. Kinda takes the air out the announcement a bit.
I could never wrap my head around the abstract concepts used in these explanations because they don't connect to what is actually happening at the atomic level. As far as I could tell the actual particles are undergoing a constant process of reducing the potential energy induced by force fields between them, which means everything is just jiggling all the time and spreading further and further apart. Heat is just some metric describing the aggregate behavior.

> Don't put me down. I could have snowed you with differential equations and diagrams instead of what you see everyday. We're being practical and visual rather than going the math route, essential as that is in chemistry.

I am trying to loosely connect big ideas here so I might be wrong. If there is fundamental feature of a universal law, then that feature must manifest itself at all scales, as the above statements tries to put forward visually. Maybe this idea of flow spreading out is very general and some kind of summarization of that finer grain flow to coarser flow in the form of Green's theorem or Stoke's Theorem is very general.

I didn’t address that point because I think it’s pretty weak. The little regional companies who are “behind the times” where I ended up on teams of all men were mostly apathetic to their hiring process and had no formality involved nor any incentive to change what little process they had.

Imagine a regional bank or insurance company that hires you off of a couple of pulse check interviews and your general vibes. Those are the worst for bias hiring. (I’ve worked at two or three of those).

You don’t get your foot in the door to interview at Google or Amazon unless you pass a rigorous technical challenge. Tech companies need people who are as efficient as possible since that’s their core business. Companies that write software but aren’t tech companies just need passable technology, they need a butt in the seat.

So I don’t really agree with the premise that the wealthy tech giants are scooping up all the women. They’re scooping up top talent.
Are there any certifications or other ways to prove your knowledge to employers in order to get your foot in the door?
