That's certainly a form of AOP, but the hook mechanism here would enable arbitrary expansion time code transformations, not just injections at method calls.

Yeah, it’s just how I remember it. It was a period of time, not a moment. A bit longer apart than i remembered but that phase of amazons management and growth felt like a cohesive moment to me as an outside observer. Their strategy has changed since then. And have they released much new tech that wasn’t expansion or iterations of those?
> You think China subsidizing manufacturers so they make cheaper sneakers...

If you think China is only subsidizing the manufacturing of stupid things like sneakers, you're sorely misinformed. They pretty much have a lock on solar panel manufacturing, due to subsidies, and I think they drove most of their Western competitors out of business. That's kind of strategic industry, with the green energy transition. IIRC, they're also getting there with batteries and EVs, but at least the West is starting to use protectionism again to protect that area.

IIRC, one of the nice things about China is they don't really care if these companies are profitable. They'll setup a situation of vicious cut-throat competition and overcapacity, instead of a few complacent but profitable oligopolies like the West seems to prefer. That means they win at the national level.

The Apollo program was like 50 years ago. The US needs to stop leaning on its past glories to try to make its complacency comfortable, and instead actually deal with its problems.

I don't really get this point of view. Take an I2C bus, for example. Isn't it easier to read the schematic if all the components on the bus have two pins connected to wires labeled 'SDA' and 'SCL'?

If you swap useragents it is.

Seems there's a few bugs around (mostly visual so far) but it's usable.
So, it's conjecture then?

What you're saying sounds plausible, but I don't see how we can conclude that definitively without at least some empirical tests, say a set words that predictably give an error along token boundaries.

The thing is, there are many ways a model can get around to answering the same question, it doesn't just depend on the architecture but also on how the training data is structured.

For example, if it turned out tokenization was the cause of this glitch, conceivably it could be fixed by adding enough documents with data relating to letter counts, providing another path to get the right output.
> Imagine people being dumb enough to believe that matters of geopolitical importance is determined by elected officials. Especially a 'reality star' like trump.

Thanks for calling me dumb for thinking the POTUS has influence.

Anyway, Speak for yourself, I can’t imagine being so far down the deep state rabbit hole to think the president and commander in chief is purely a vapid figurehead.

Question: did you try to correct people when you saw them criticizing Biden or Trump for the Afghanistan pull out, since according to your comment they had nothing to do with it.

We've thought quite a bit about usage-based pricing, but found that doesn't work psychologically for most people. Generally, people seem happier by paying up front for access, then feel good about having the system available whenever they need it, rather then having to think through cost tradeoffs every time they want to do a search or use up credits. Please do reach out at support@undermind.ai though, we'd love to talk about a solution for you and get your feedback.
There is a market clearing price at which even the most opposed EV buyer becomes one (total cost of ownership, fuel cost volatility, etc). The subsidies must last only until sufficient internal combustion manufacturing capacity has been reduced to where EVs become the only option. Like bankruptcy, this transition will happen slowly, and then all of a sudden (as there is a minimum volume of units a combustion vehicle factory must sell to remain viable).

> The Chinese auto industry is experiencing a revolution,” said John Zeng, the director of Asia forecasting at GlobalData Automotive. “The old internal combustion capacity is dying.”

>Ammonia has lower heat capacity

You’re probably confusing gaseous ammonia, but the GGP said “of all liquids.” Liquid ammonia has a higher heat capacity than liquid water. Refrigeration is just an engineering application of the heat capacity of a working fluid (and I’ll let you guys why some of the earliest heat pumps used ammonia)

I must have failed to understand even more things than I thought I did. I'll have to read through again when more awake if I want to fix that, I suspect.

I think if faced with that class of problem (am not automative developer, just spitballing) I would probably try using some sort of (no, not YAML) config format to express the various things.

But that's a 'how my brain works' and I am aware of that - for database designs, I've both ensured there was a reasonable diagram generated when the point of truth was a .sql file, and happily accepted an ERD as the point of truth once I figured out how to get a .sql file out of it to review myself.

Ask HN: Have you ever experienced workplace 'mobbing' by managers or directors?
Either directly towards you or to someone adjacent to you? What did you do about it? Leave the company, switch your team, just keep your head down, talk to someone (HR?)?

Without going into too much detail, my manager was 'mobbed' by their director to a point where the director spread false rumors about them (found out about this from several people high up in the reporting chain) and the manager was forced to switch teams. I was appalled at the power directors can wield and the power disparity, the lack of transperency (and at the fact that the other people higher up in the reporting chain were not willing to or able to stand up for them even though they knew the rumors were fabricated)

Now a close friend is going through something similar at a FAANG company being seemingly targeted by their director pushed to leave a team they have been happy and effective (high performance ratings) on for years.

Especially wondering if there is any director, VP level people here who could shed light on how common this is and how accepted it is at your company? What are your options when this happens to you?
I suspect this has more to do with keeping intellectually active on something in general. Could be music, could be puzzles, could be a day job. I've seen far too many of my own relatives rot by plopping their ass in front of the TV some time at age 75 and watching Matlock reruns until their brains oozed out of their ears - not a pretty sight. Keep active any way you can.
It depends on the task. Sometimes I have just given up when it really can’t get something.

But other times I’ve persevered and once it’s ‘got’ it, it can then repeat it as many times as I need. That’s the knack really. Get it to the point of understanding and then reuse that infinitely and save yourself a lot of time.
We will then have fraudulent whistle blowing lol

I don't think porn is in this category.

I have not seen any real evidence that would justify the concern, and for the most part the indications are the opposite — there is less harm when it's easier to get.

But for the sake of argument, if it can be demonstrated that some content is harmful, then a ban is justifiable.

Show HN: DepsHub – Dependency updates made easy
Hi HN! I'm Andriy, a software engineer and the founder of DepsHub.
Every single team that I worked with always used tens (if not hundreds) of dependencies. There are usually two popular options: either you ignore the dependencies problem until it's too late and hard to migrate everything to newer versions (say hi to vulnerability issues), or you're constantly trying to find the balance between working on a product and doing its maintenance.

I decided to create DepsHub to solve these particular problems:

- Update noise. There is no need to update EVERY single library all the time. Your project should be relatively up to date with all the major packages updated and no security issues.

- Automatic major updates. Breaking changes occur all the time, and LLM are quite good at this point to take the changelog changes and apply them to the codebase automatically.

- Observability. I want to know what's the current status of all of my repositories, how outdated they are, and what I need to do to make it better. This is quite a new niche that not a lot of products are focusing on.

DepsHub is processing thousands release notes and changelogs, converting your codebase to embeddings and applies LLMs to fix any breaking changes that occur. It also uses some additional analysis to understand if the library is actually needed to be updated (some libs are having new versions every week!).

Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions. Any feedback is more than welcome!

It absolutely boggles my mind that read-only mode is not the default in Docker. By default, every container has an extra, unnamed, writable volume: its own root. Typo in your volume mount? You’re writing to root, and you will lose data.

Of course, once this is fixed and you start using read-only containers, one wonders why “container” exists as a persistent, named concept.

> It's literally no different

False, as interaction on the web and in meatspace are not equivalent.

By going to a brick & mortar shop, you already know you have to show your face and have kind of a low expectation of privacy (and its already a problem for some people to go to a sex shop, in part because of the social stigma some religion put on enjoying sex), but you don't have to ID yourself further assuming you look old enough.

Checking age in a brick & mortar shop, for anything from alcool to porn, doesn't force you to log your identity in a database.

On the contrary, you don't have to show your face to access a website, neither have to ID yourself.

By requiring it for porn, even with a convoluted pseudo-privacy-focused way, you're now requiring it for any website that could host porn even if it's not their focus (e.g : reddit, twitter), or pushing said websites to become puritan.
They moved the goalposts from “mad about not apologizing for the bombing” to “mad about the bombing itself”? How does that work in linear time considering the bombing itself happened before a window for apology?
Wow, this looks wonderful!

I want this to integrate well with type checkers. For example, if I edit a TypeScript function and it causes several type errors, it's nice to open all files and jump to the errors. If more edits cause other errors, open those files again. This would make code changes much easier!
I've read about the PTSD that human content reviewers suffer from, the job sounds like hell. You're exposed to the most upsetting images humanity can produce, and you're supposed to view thousands of pictures a day.

I was wondering if many measures to reduce the trauma are already in place? You could show a small thumbnail, or black out most of the picture, or maybe blur everything except a small part of the image.

Definitely a difficult job, I wish they were better treated.
I agree with you that ideally kids would not be browsing PornHub. I'm not sure that requiring PornHub to de anonymize you is a good or proportionate solution.

It seems to me that a major driver of intuition here is whether a website is a "transaction of service", or simply a thing that you can look at if you go to a certain place. PornHub is large and complex and prints t-shirts, and so perhaps intuitively they feel like a "service". But what if I write a silly little piece of erotica and host it as a plain txt file on my pokey little personal website, behind a link that says "click here for my silly piece of erotica (18+ only pls!)". Should I be legally compelled to collect and store people's personal information over that? Should it really be illegal to put arousing material on a public facing webserver?
It's impossible because Unicode-based programs don't bother implementing support for language tags, much less testing that support.
Right, I'm saying journals should be picking which to publish before the results arrive.

They should even publish it before the results arrive.

And then publish again after.
Still have no idea how that demonstrates the importance of saying no.
Thank you for being so clear on where we are failing you. We're basically computing your semantic space as compared to the whole community. The map shows the relevant instances in that space. As you browse your concepts the space changes and we link to the relevant comments from the associated threads. Who knows what is prioritizing the user and the semantics / voice of that user amidst the noise of the whole community speaking at once.

We'd love to hear your feedback as you play with it more and we improve all of the above.

There isn't a lot of place that teach the AI which letters there is in each tokens.
It's a made up concept, and the AI doesn't have enough information in the dataset about this concept, it can difficulty generalize this.

There is a lot of problems like that, that can be reformulated.
For example if you ask it what is the biggest between 9.11 and 9.9, it will respond 9.9. If you look at how it's tokenized, you can see it restate an easy problem as something not straightforward even for a human.
if you restart the problem by writing the number in full letters, it will correctly respnod.

> In France for example a huge part of the resistance was way too sympathetic with Stalin's ideas (and btw didn't join the resistance up until 1941 and Hitler's operation Barbarossa, when Hitler betrayed Stalin)

It's more subtle than that. Communist resistance certainly existed before 1941. Many of the veterans from the Spanish civil war for example engaged quite early, without waiting for Stalin's instructions. Repression against communists increased overnight when Hitler invaded the USSR, which led to more active resistance. But it's not like they just had been sitting quietly enjoying life under Pétain up to then.

After the war communist resistants, particularly those who came back from deportation, were seen with suspicion by the party's leadership, and the party ended up at the hands of people who hadn't been as active in the resistance, but were considered to be more loyal to Stalin. Which suited the Gaullists just fine and gave them the opportunity to push the narrative that only they had been the true resistants from the first hour.
