I've just started to get into taking photos on film and I'm loving everything (except trying to travel with it). The main problem I'd been having is trying to find out what I need to do before I travel, so try and help other people with this I've made a small site that can collect the information everyone in the community has.

Please feel free to try it out and contribute anything you know about your home airports. I'm trying to make an interactive editor for the airports but for now there is just a box for you to fill in the comments you have and I'll update them as fast as I can.
No, he found another person's biography near his profile photo for his X blurb. They were in distinctly different content bubbles, even if it visually looked similar.
Beyond irrelevant.

Unless you were coming off a boat from Africa. Lets not forget that slavery defined a large section of American history.

Way to invent things that don't happen to instill fear. Just more FUD.
the big thing that's changed is that now we have html5, and enough ram to run it
You inserted their speech where I said "capital and ability". Because you support undermining those rights so you play semantic games.

I mean this sincerely, isn't the debate irrelevant? You either support those civil rights or oppose them. I don't want to put words in your mouth but I assume you oppose 1A and 2A. Why not just say it? We wouldn't have to waste time discussing ancillary nonsense.
Oh I see. What an idiotic name for a product!

> Are OpenBSD programmers somehow vastly more competent

Put simply, yes. If you read open OpenBSD's website what philosophies and practices drive how the OpenBSD project is run, you'll have an idea.
Are American values static? If not, how did they change over time? Was it some group that used their capital and political organization to make the changes?

If so, why is it ok for one group to advocate for a change, but the similar advocacy from another group is not ok?

Just for introspection..
Shit happens. What makes this so interesting is the speed at which the shit tsnuami spread. Try rolling out a little more slowly so less of the world gets affected.

For those affected, consider it a relatively painless test of your DR systems, and a chance to fix 'em up.
Subtle topic. In France there were waves of italians and spaniards in the early 20th, it went bad for a short while and then became a non issue apparently (being born in the 80s, these groups were never causing trouble in the slightest). Sharing history probably helps too.

I also never felt any issue regarding Jewish people but considering this was after ww2 .. nobody would really say a thing either, but personally they never displayed anything noteworthy society wise. another non issue

Now it's African, northern African populations being at the forefront of news, but personally i had many more issues with them (and i'm partially brown so the chances of them thinking I'm too different are lower). regularly they displayed very low morals, aggressiveness, sudden high fanaticism toward religious principles they didn't really grasp, worse behavior in school.

My mother knew people from Asia (Vietnamese, Cambodians) fleeing from war, with no resources, not speaking french, nothing in common with Europe, they mentioned seeing some racism, yet they too ended up being a non issue. They end up being as the cliche quiet-asian-1st-in-class kid and that's the end of it.

It's possible France or other European countries have some underlying, hard to describe, notion of integration. It's less economical and more about mentality ? Maybe except UK, where it's often said that anybody will to work would rapidly integrate. I still can't say.
What do YOU mean, "You people"?

They aborted the update rollout, so not every box that could have been affected was.
The more you spread the blame, the less likely it is anything will change.
Ok, we're learning how to cite stuff. Now, how do we use that to support our thesis?
Except for the first point, these things aren’t exclusive to remote updates though. I thought we were talking about the challenges of remote updates compared to other methods (like replacing the system or manually updating it with installation media). Supply chain and insiders would be affected that, too.
the problem is that the form of government doesn't really matter. if a lot of people are corrupt and greedy or selfish then even the most well meaning forms of government will fail. but if all people including the leaders are doing their best to be good and supportive of each other then even a dictatorship will be beneficial to everyone.

so instead of focusing on the form of government, what we really need to focus on is to educate everyone to become better people.

i made a similar argument before in response to an article by peter kropotkin titled "are we good enough?": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40644561
Right, which is why their content generation has gotten a reputation for being slop and their answers have become synonymous with hallucination.
Coincidentally, I just toured the South Dakota minuteman launch control facility this week [1] and it was fascinating. The park ranger giving the tour was a veteran who manned the facility decades ago — amazing stories. You need to book tickets a few months in advance but well worth it if you’re in the area to visit Badlands, Mt. Rushmore, etc.

Where does this plantation-owner story come from? How many plantation owners do you think existed?

And that still doesn't explain the continual drain happening, to this day, as is evidenced by this very article we're commenting on. What, are these 10% also filthy capitalists somehow?

As a Serb whose parents fled an eerily similar situation to Cuba's way back when for greener pastures to the literal other side of the planet, this thing where people blame the citizens rather than the worthless piece of shit government for fleeing these socialist hellholes is always an amusing one for me.
I see what you did there.

But no, most studies seem to indicate intelligence is correlated with lower authoritarianism.

Would be worthwhile to run something more significant, maybe pybench.
It's only because you can essentially put the llms in a simulations that you can have this argument. We can imagine the human brain also in a simulation which we can replay over and over again and adjust various parameters of the physical brain to change the temperature. These sort of arguments can never distinguish between llm and humans.
> generative systems are basically always hallucinating: they do not have any concepts at all. That they are "right" as often as they are is a testament to the power of curve fitting and compression of basis functions in high dimensionality spaces

It's refreshing to read someone who "got it". Sad that before my upvote the comment was grayed out.

Any proponent of conceptual or other wishful/magical thinking shoud come with proofs, since it is the hypothesis that diverge from the definition of a LLM.
You're exactly the sort of person who also maintains that burger flippers don't deserve a liveable wage and that there's no such thing as a liveable wage outside of what the market dictates. You'll turn around and scream about inflation due to "highly paid Americans" picking fruit, and demand that something must be done about such outrages. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
I think what I love most about websites is if they have extremely fancy animations which artificially delay actions and confuse the user. Really awesome to see people spending time, not on how information can be clearly and plainly communicated, but how to obfuscate that information and bury it under eye candy. Nothing upsets me more than a plain website, where nothing moves, unless I scroll, and clicking gets me to where I want, without whirling things over my screen.
That's only legal until a court throws it out
I find it amusing how you just don't get it. Your narrow worldview is typical of everyone who comes from oppressive regimes and doesn't understand citizenship. The writer Svetlana Alexievich wrote a lot about this kind of alienation.

> Economy and how you are doing are what matters in the day to day life of people.

Yeah, but "economy and how you are doing" is inseparable from freedom and democracy.

You need the rule of the law and respect for private property to ensure a functional economy. You need transparency, freedom of information and speech, freedom of assembly and political representation to demand responsible government from authorities.

> The average Joe does not care about politics

That's how Putin screws up the average Ilich, and the Castros screw up the average Juan. See the connection?
More than two there too. For example: WebKit, Blink, Gecko, LibWeb, Servo, Goanna, Presto, and Libwww or whatever Lynx is using these days.
>that sufficiently advanced mimicry is not only indistinguishable from the real thing, but at the limit in fact is the real thing.

While sufficiently does a lot of the heavy lifting here, the indistinguishable criteria implicitly means there must be no-way to tell if it is not the real thing. The belief that it is the real thing comes from the intuition that anything that can be everything a person must be, but have that fundamental essence of being a person. I don't think people could really conceive an alternative without resorting to prejudice which they could equally apply to machines or people.

I take the arguments such as in this paper to be instead making the claim that because X cannot be Y you will never be able to make X indistinguishable from Y. It is more a prediction of future failure than a judgment on an existing thing.

I end up looking at some of these complaints from the point of view of my sometimes profession of Game Developer. When I show someone a game in development to playtest they will find a bunch of issues. The vast majority of those issues, not only am I already aware of, but I have a much more detailed perspective of what the problem is and how it might be fixed. I have been seeing the problem, over and over, every day as I work. The problem persists because there are other things to do before fixing the issue, some of which might render the issue redundant anyway.

I feel like a lot of the criticisms of AI are like this they are like the playtesters pointing out issues in the current state where those working on the problems are generally well aware of particular issues and have a variety of solutions in mind that might help.

Clear statements of deficiencies in ability are helpful as a guide to measure future success.

I'm also in the camp that LLM's cannot be an AGI on its own, on the other hand I do think the architecture might be extended to become one. There is an easy out for any criticism to say, "Well, it's not an LLM anymore".

In a way that ends up with a lot of people saying

.The current models cannot do the things we know the current models cannot do

.Future models will not be able to do those things if they are the same as the current ones

.Therefore the things that will be able to do those things will be different

That is true, but hardly enlightening.
I’m always deeply uncomfortable with this argument. It sounds like justification for a “slave” class to do undesirable jobs with no legal protections and sub minimum wage, just so Americans can save a few bucks at the supermarket. But at what moral cost? We can’t have it both ways—if they’re here working, then it needs to be at full American wage with full American regulation/oversight. But that itself defeats the purpose of hiring undocumented workers.
Yes, they have to migrate once. But they don’t need to maintain 8 different versions of Word going back a decade, make sure all security patches get back ported (without breaking anything along the way), and make all of them are in some way cross compatible despite having differing feature sets.

If google makes a new storage format they have to migrate old Google docs. But that’s a once off thing. When migrations happen, documents are only ever moved from old file formats to new file formats. With word, I need to be able to open an old document with the new version of word, make changes then re-save it so it’s compatible with the old version of word again. Then edit it on an old version of word and go back and forth.

I’m sure the Google engineers are very busy. But by making Docs be evergreen software, they have a much easier problem to solve when it comes to this stuff. Nobody uses the version of Google docs from 6 months ago. You can’t. And that simplifies a lot of things.
I'm not sure what you mean. Are you saying that a country should embargo a country doing evil regardless of considerations about moral authority. Or are you saying that moral authority isn't a thing and therefore a country shouldn't embargo another country even if they are doing evil?
Nope. Tech is specially protected by both sides of the isle. Why do you think there's no real or legally defined "engineering" happening? No red tape. No filter of quality, no accountability.

We have to legislate out big tech and start holding them accountable. Prison time for execs and significant fines is the correct and effective method.
I'm pretty sure it is because when Linus ported Linux from x86 to the DEC Alpha in the early 90s, he used the DEC OSF/1 syscall numbers (and error numbers) so that he could bootstrap the Linux kernel from an OSF/1 userland. He probably should have had a flag day & normalized the syscall numbers to be arch independent like they are on *BSD, but he never did.

Coming from BSD, I find this very confusing and tend to grumble when I'm tracing something and have to go groveling from the right errno.h. Eg:

% find ~/linux/ -name 'errno*' | wc -l

22

% find ~/freebsd/sys -name 'errno*' | wc -l

Maybe I would think most non businesses will not need falcon sensor, and more critical systems will be the ones actually using it. So their “low” numbers are actually high if you only look at businesses or critical systems
Yes, the trek is hard for many. But physically hard doesn't imply cognitively hard or selective for cognitive traits. These paths are well trodden and the difficulty is purely physical.
> uses AI and ML

No it does not. Such thing does not exist.

Most antivirus programs rely primarily on signature-based detection and heuristic analysis rather than advanced machine learning algorithms. While some modern antivirus solutions incorporate basic machine learning for anomaly detection, they do not typically employ the sophisticated, self-learning AI systems that are characteristic of true artificial intelligence applications. And I do understand Crowdstrike is more than just an antivirus.

Please don't repeat CNBC Stock market pumping memes. No they are not an "AI Stock"

>You inserted their speech where I said "capital and ability". Because you support undermining those rights so you play semantic games.

I never said I supported undermining any particular rights. The phrase "use their capital and ability to politically undermine our civil liberties" implies engagement in the political process, which implies free speech, which (notwithstanding your semantic games) is already established as legitimate.

>I don't want to put words in your mouth

Yes you do, your comment here does so numerous times. So feel free to argue with the strawman, I'm out.
I think they're way off with billions.

I do think there are a mountain of AD servers out there though. Not sure I care to quantify exactly how many makes a mountain. but I'd think 2 commas for sure. more than a million? less than 100 million? that seems like the right ballpark.
Stop signing CrowdStrokes shitty kernel driver? Because that's what made the thing load.

That is also pretty much the Apple way nowadays.
no it's easy to complain as such action would be a market power abuse which distorts the marked in a consumer hostile way

so as a consumer I have all right to complain

and as a producer too as this might also e.g. affect cheap but not free apps, the marked you can reach with 3rd party app stores is size wise a joke
TIL there are no drugs in Singapore.
Jews only got full citizenship rights in many European countries after the Enlightenment and in many ways their assimilation was absolutely a success, despite an enduring legacy of anti-Semitism (which was shown e.g. by the Dreyfus affair in France, not merely in places with a lengthy history of social authoritarianism and anti-Enlightenment values such as pre-1945 Germany). This, if anything, is proof that successful social integration can in fact be achieved in Europe - that "ethnic character" is not fixed in stone and can shift in response to incentives, at least over multi-generational timescales.
It was reversed since it was a campaign promise. The idea was that all that money from tourism was only helping the Castro regime. A sentiment I'm sure most Cubans are not happy about.

Australia has a large number of ethnic groups, media and the far right claims similar issues.

Using statistics on the background of prisoners, in Australia, most non-white ethnic groups have lower representation in prison compared to their percentage of the population when compared to white Australians.

What do you need it for? That would forbid tons of code, like array indexing and unreachable!().

There's the UnwindSafe marker trait that isn't exactly the same thing but addresses the only real case I've seen for forbidding panics which is FFI.
> why aren't those built on Linux or even OpenBSD?

Because in the non-Silicon-Valley world of software, if you pick Linux and it has issues, fingers will get pointed at you. If you pick Windows and it has issues, fingers will get pointed at Microsoft.
This benchmark shows abysmal numbers, no need to run a bloated test suite that is so large and convoluted that no one understands what is being measured.
Yeah I was also going by their quarterly earnings reports since they're a public company. Though that only breaks down the revenue by continent, but was using it to approximate US revenue at 30% of worldwide.

Ask HN: Is YC entangled with Trump’s rich supporters?
Given all the endorsements from Silicon Valley billionaires that are courting Trump, does this put YC in a situation where they have to look the other way at what is happening and play ball so that their startups will be the next Valley/VC darlings?

Will startups that share the vision in some way with these billionaires who are endorsing Trump gain preferential treatment as a means of securing funding rounds or difficult contracts?

Related is the rebranding of Palmer Luckey from a Trump supporter to a liberator of Ukraine, as well as the over all anti-Trump sentiment post-2016 election that was permeating through the start up world (SV in particular).

Oh, absolutely! Who needs efficient, user-friendly design when you can have a digital circus? I mean, why should we prioritize clarity and usability when we can dazzle users with a labyrinth of animations and loading screens? After all, who doesn't love a good game of "Where's the Content?" every time they visit a website?
The first stage is denial.
Off by an order of magnitude for sure.

It’s been a few years since I’ve flown anywhere, but as a general rule, keep your film in carryon if you can. Checked luggage gets higher rad exposure. If your film speed is less than 800 or so (most ordinary film) it’s not that big of a problem.
A config file IS code. And yes, even a post can theoretically break a site (SQL injection, say), so if you're pushing data to a million PCs you'd better be testing it.
> Solutions need to be provided for problems

Agreed. It's frustrating to solve a problem and being unable to check if it is correct. It's even more frustrating knowing that if you had the answer, it would help you to solve the problem. Sometimes the answer pushes you in the right direction to figure out how to solve the problem.

> with clear explanations.

Hopefully separate from the answers.

For programming exercises, we should be given datasets so that we can tests whether our code works or not. Heck books should provide links to unit tests.
> Maine has it for the general presidential election too. They were the first to use RCV in a general presidential election.

That was as a result of the referendum, though, which you don't want to count because that's the citizens doing it and not the established politicians. That's a reasonable position that I'm happy to make a ground rule for this discussion, but it needs to be applied evenly, not just used to exclude Alaska.

> but you can't pretend like there's no movement to ban it in the Republican party, as is evidenced by their actions.

No, but it doesn't matter if there was never any risk of it happening, which there isn't in the vast majority of the US. You don't need to ban something if your voters have never heard of it and wouldn't think to ask for it.

> only the Democratic party is interested in trying something new; which we clearly desperately need.

There's no evidence here in the sources you've cited that shows that the Democratic politicians are interested in trying something new in state and federal general elections (the ones that could actually challenge the two-party system). If you can count Maine then I can count Alaska, which again balances out to not be obviously one-sided.
That’s only part of the problem. The other part is the incompatible religious values of the immigrants. Not all of course. But at least enough to cause conflict with western liberal values.
The issue wasn't necessarily the number of machines, but which machines were affected. The fact the major airlines were forced to ground planes, is an indication this was bad. Several financial companies couldn't trade. Hospitals couldn't function. I was personally unable to pump gas.

As a linux user, I don't see how you don't see this was a huge deal.
My observation was that not 100% of devices with CrowdStrike had an issue and of those that did, about 70% recovered on their own after a few reboots.
Yep, I’d highly recommend this as well. We did this a year or two ago as well and it was wild how the underground facilities worked, how small they were, and how remote and nondescript they were. Highly recommend visiting these sites if you’re into history!
> You know, before 1945 it was said in Europe that Jews weren't able to integrate fully with the host society. One might ask: Was that the Jews' fault? Or the host society's fault?

Which Jews? Ultraorthodox don't integrate very well in Israel, for instance.
