To kind of extrapolate from your claim, do you think high fertility rates and women's rights are opposed to eachother?
That's surprising and alarming. Thank you for bringing that up, though!
Thank you for your sympathy. Not being an American is one of my greatest sorrows.

Btw, I wasn’t entirely sincere in my comment above either. It was just a way to express strong dissatisfaction with the state of affairs.
Eh, it is appalling I'd say, since it takes out the entire soul of it all. A letter written by an AI is about as touching as receiving a stock photo. And as written in the article, it removes an opportunity from the kid to practice their writing ability.

In my city (Pittsburgh) over half of the workers who work at our largest healthcare provider surveyed have some kind of debt to that same entity. My own mother is one of those people and she has been climbing for years. Funny how that works.

That doesn't make sense, if pollution was literally slowly killing us, and the planet, surely we would take some action to decrease pollution, and yet for my entire lifetime we've exuberantly increased it, recently going so far as to build bitcoin, a popular competition to pollute as much as possible in exchange for prizes.

Weirdly, if I do any amount of research, it does seem like there's strong correlations between pollution and most kinds of cancer, what a wild coincidence.
It’s dependent on economics, politics, war, and immigration/refugees etc so very accurate predictions are limited to perhaps 6 months.

Total population has inertia, but anything more than +/- 2% out 10 years is pushing it and that uncertainty just grows with time.
>I would hope that the Fed President would say this, even if they don't believe it.

Completely disagree. It's an incredibly irresponsible thing to say.

Experts know that saying that the Fed can "fix" the economy (with this one simple trick, presumably) is ridiculous.

Ordinary people ... also know that that is ridiculous. They aren't stupid. They know there isn't a dial in Washington that Jerome Powell or ~~Biden~~ Harris can twist to "fix" things and, voilà, it's all better. People don't like being talked down to and do respond accordingly.
The "web of trust" doesn't scale, though.
From my experience working with GTFS it's difficult because the operators usually don't include all the information but the fact of having GTFS support it's a great step
I can't speak to attitudes, but when I was in grad school years ago, Koreans were very well represented in my program. There were fewer Korean students than Chinese but more than Indian. Generally they do well in both coursework and research so there's likely at least some opportunity to stay in the states, assuming they don't have obligations back home.
0.5 is so wild.

Gen1: 100 people: 50 men + 50 women;
50 women have 25 babies

Gen2: 26 people: 13 men + 12 women (for math);
12 women have 6 babies

Gen3: 6 people

So 100 people end up having 6 total grandkids between all of them.

In the US, you hear about Boomer grandparents who have at least 10 grandchildren.
Hard to find the correlation imo. We (in developed nations) have more free time than ever and birth rates are still dropping.
> almost a guarantee that a nation-state with cyber resources will use said resources to find a tactical advantage and constantly lob attacks back and forth

Guns versus butter. There is probably a rational amount of cyber insecurity, given writing secure software comes with tradeoffs. (Nothing that comes with tradeoffs optimises to zero or infinity.) Perhaps being able to run insecure software is a form of peace dividend.

Doesn’t cover intentional security holes. But we don’t have evidence that is a prevalent problem.

Ask HN: Advice for Building a Language User Interface Startup
Hi,I had recently got the impulsive idea that I should try to start a company that specializes in creating UI/UX interface and Interface research for AI products.It is obv not a unique idea nor I intend to be.

My thesis is that in long term landscape of LLMs products, the LLMs will be equally powerful but will be competitive based on their interface and user accessbility.

P.S I can be slightly biased as I dont have hardcore ml/ai knowledge as I am not that smart.I do have web dev and ui/ux experience.

My aim is to make 50k dollar revenue in the upcoming 12-14 months from my startup

EDIT:Slighly inspired by this talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5mG4z343qg

Do let me know some (valuable) advice.Feel free to reach out to me to my email!
It is a new attack vector on systems. Forging scam that would fool LLMs and trick the user in the end

That's what it's for, make no mistake.

I'm guessing everyone downvotes you for the very strange implication that most software stores IP addresses in ASCII. All networking APIs I'm aware of expect IPv4 addresses as a DWORD.
There's a lot of things people can do to improve life expectancy, but it is impossible for most people to move to the countryside because houses aren't mobile like that.

Even then, good as fitness is, it doesn't make us agesless. We can research aging without solving all the rest of the issues first — not even maximum life duration, as 81 years where your body clock never goes past 25 is still an improvement on 81 years where you slowly wind down from 25 onwards.

Also with the food, there are often efforts to get the population as a whole to eat healthier, these get pushback that calls it "nanny state" (in the UK) or just outright denies the health impacts of the food that's being advised against (I wonder, find a "end fat shaming" headline, go into details, will you find a maker of junk food sponsored the research?)
> Plenty of incentives and options even with paper ballots, as many dictators have shown.

Is that so? If anything, they ignore the ballots or fake the numbers—see Venezuela. That is another problem entirely.

> Why wouldn’t this be possible with machines?

With paper ballot countings, even the most plain citizen, can witness the counting and ensure themselves nothing shady is going on: Watching as people create heaps from ballots with a checkmark in the same box, then call out the numbers is not beatable in terms of accessibility.

With machines, complexity is orders of magnitude higher: Watching the computer is pointless. You don't get to see how it adds up votes, you have to trust its software is working as advertised. There is just no way to verify no component of the stack has been manipulated.

> If you trust the people checking the machines have not been manipulated, this is not at all what would be happening.

But that is the point! Why would you ever do that? What power does that grant to these people? How dangerous would it be to be such a person? Who even would these non-government election experts be? Why limit the number of people able to verify an election is going on truthfully to a small amount of technically literate experts, when we have a perfectly working democratic system in place?

Tell me this; how can you check the machines have not been manipulated with a 100 percent certainty? How do you verify the screen displays what it is supposed to, the software has no backdoors, the hardware has no backdoors, there are no parts swapped out, there are no second-order effects of transistors flipping bits if the ambient temperature reaches a certain point, the cables have not been messed with, the data it sends is not intercepted or altered, the packages won't be dropped, or arrive in duplicates, or any of the other myriad of possible failure conditions? An election is an extremely rewarding target for both internal and foreign/rival state actors. Just think of Stuxnet if you think this is paranoid, and that was 2010! How would you ensure that even the most sophisticated attackers won’t come up with an exploit?

You cannot. You cannot do this reliably for every machine involved in the election; the combined knowledge and experience involved in each of these questions far exceeds even most IT professionals. So you immediately remove the ability to witness the election from almost every citizen, by making the process infinitely more complex and harder to understand, for no reason at all.
I know there are lots of interesting problems to solve here, but democracy is not the right place for complex solutions to interesting problems.

There is virtually no compelling reason to drop a working process in favour of machines here.

Edit: and one more thing with elections is that you cannot just try again if something seems suspicious. You’ve completely shattered trust at that point, and the victor would rightfully claim the election had been stolen from them. Again: Democracy is no place for technological solutions.

Much of this discourse has already come out in the gambling and
dark-pattern domain. Machines that adaptively seduce users by matching
their behaviour are common in lots of gaming technology. Yes they are
addictive.

The idea of sycophantic, charming narcissistic psychopath bots
designed to get inside your head was explored by P.K Dick and by Ray
Bradbury. Perhaps it's in 'Chronicles' where the aliens lure space
explorers to their deaths with a siren song that emulates their lost
loved ones and "apple pie" home memories.

The really sketchy side is going to be when these are used to
perpetrate other frauds and confidence tricks.

As "entertainment" I see this technology in the same category as
spirit mediums, palm-readers, cold fortune tellers and so on. It's a
new level of "carny code" for fleecing vulnerable people. I think the
law will respond to it the same way.

It's definitely playing with dangerous emotions. Once there's a few
suicides and inconsolable broken-hearted maniacs turning up at
AI-Company offices with an assault rifle and demanding "Get _her_ back
or I kill everybody", then it will get regulated to hell.

> all these forms of media are similarly limited by human
capacity. Generative AI is different.

It is also limited by human capacity, to consume. We all have an
attention ceiling. Where do people find time for this?

They are for software updates, but this was just an update of the definitions file, which couldn't be parsed properly by the kernel module. These are rolled out immediately to provide best protection against the latest threats. As I understood, they tested the parser and the definitions file separately, but not this particular combination, which IMHO was the core of the failure here.

Thank you.

Botulism in food is a well-studied subject.

Even particular foods like garlic, notwithstanding aspersions cast in other comments, have empirical studies e.g. [1] that look pretty plausible. Several more reports from reputable sources turn up in the first few pages of internet searches around just garlic.

It is true that there are a lot of traditions and implicit knowledge around food safety, but it seems like a strawman fallacy to ignore what is explicitly known.

We're in a golden age of knowledge, people!

We prosecute arsonists and look towards implementing better forest management to ensure future arsonists don't have as much impact. Just like with personal crime, we prosecute the perpetrators and teach potential victims how to better protect themselves from being in vulnerable positions. Delta isn't at fault for the failure but they do need to reevaluate their systems to ensure this kind of total system failure will be less likely.
I'm counted in that group but still pay several thousand a year out-of-pocket.
If you forget how to build things you soon forget how to fix things.
There's quite some distance between "infallible" and the kind of failure mode CS's error induced. Be that as it may, I don't think the question is about infallibility, though. The question is, was the software fit for the purpose Delta used it for? And the follow-on question is whether CrowdStrike sold it for the purpose Delta used it for.

I know this one has been fixed, but I also find those an annoyance - more so because if you're not logged in on twitter, you only see the first tweet, not the thread. So rather than get irritated when I click through stories, I block the links on HN with ublock-origin rules like so:

news.ycombinator.com##tr.athing:has(a[href^="from?site=twitter.com"])
news.ycombinator.com##tr.athing:has(a[href^="from?site=twitter.com"])+tr
news.ycombinator.com##tr.athing:has(a[href^="from?site=x.com"])
news.ycombinator.com##tr.athing:has(a[href^="from?site=x.com"])+tr
news.ycombinator.com##tr.athing:has(a[href^="from?site=medium.com"])
news.ycombinator.com##tr.athing:has(a[href^="from?site=medium.com"])+tr

2 rules each because the replies and the story titles don't share a common parent element. eg right now I can tell from the numbers beside the stories that number 23 is missing; but otherwise HN looks the same. The same trick works for google search results; I have rules like the ones below to block less useful tutorial sites when I'm looking for python/js docs:

That is literally what every physical language school or textbook for beginners have in the materials ... and literally none of them teaches up to fluency.

Maybe because I had experience with language learning, but it would not occur to me that "learn language" in a headline should imply that.
Musk aside, this is very interesting and tech related:

> Pares also said that events over the weekend — which include attacks on at least two hotels housing immigrants — require an “immediate response” from social media companies, after online forums were used to spread misinformation and organize anti-immigration protests. He added that “state actors” may have been involved in “bot activity” used to propagate the posts.

Have we kind of given up on this type of thing because it can get "political?"

>when the real alternative is middleware engines.

Is there even a good Middleware engine that can also target web? My impressions are that both Unity and Unreal expressed interest in WebGPU support, but what's publicly available is pretty barebones.

Also, I imagine the people working with WebGPU to begin with are either hobbyists, looking to learn and work in a professional role with WebGPU, or are in fact making that future Middleware (be it proprietary or open source).
Not all problems are well suited to graph theory though. Try implementing the super trivial Sieve of Eratosthenes as a DAG. No doubt it's possible, but I'm willing to bet the complexity of said solution is going to make it hard to read and understand.

That's a good question and I haven't thought long enough and deeply enough on this issue to have a fully formed opinion of it. I do think our current copyright system in the west is generally broken and over emphasizes short term business profits over the long term benefit of cultural works. But as to what level game publishers should be forced to make games available I can't say.

As far as how regulations work, I am generally in favor of reworking incentive structures to make companies want to behave in a prescribed manner rather than just outright banning deviant behavior. If something is illegal but still beneficial, they will find ways to dodge regulations and factor fines into cost projections. You have to make it worth their while to do as you want.
The bacteria (but not the spores) are killed by boiling. I probably have conflated mould and botulism in the line you quoted. But I did also say:

"If your sauce has a sufficiently high salt and/or acid level it shouldn’t grow anything nasty."

I probably should have said.

"If you are careless, you could end up with botulism, one of the deadliest toxin known to man! But if your sauce has a sufficiently high salt and/or acid level it shouldn’t grow anything nasty. ... To avoid mould and other issues make sure the fermentation vessel is airtight and everything is clean."

Anyway, I'm not trying to tell anyone the detailed process of how to make hot sauce here. Just encouraging them to find out more from someone who is more expert.
I live in the hope that I'll always be tech-literate, even into my retirement, but I'm beginning to suspect that no matter how generalist I try to be with my skillset, the mind will specialize as it gets older in few particular ways and no matter how skilled I am in field A B or C, it just will not translate to field X Y or Z.

There were (loosely) almost checksums for the oral transmission of the Sanskrit versions of the Mahabharata for ensuring consistency and accuracy.

Priests were highly trained in recitation and memorization and the oral texts were consistent across vast regions.

My source is vague memory but I think it was from JAB van Buitenen speaking about oral transmission and accuracy in the intros for either “The Bhagavadgita in the Mahabharata” or “The Mahabharata; Book of the Beginning”.
Yeah. I went through a few drafts of comparing Braid with Celeste, but I don't think I'd even buy a Celeste Anniversary Edition.

Not to shit on JB, but maybe the difference between Braid and Celeste is that Maddy knows her game doesn't need a remake. (granted, Celeste is only 6 years old, it's not due for a remake or remaster)

That isn't how 8-bit computers (other than CP/M and MSX) generally worked -- instead they dropped you into a BASIC interpreter rather than a command-line shell. Some interpreters did let you list files and so on, but there wasn't a complete shell. What was of course very similar to the CP/M experience was MS-DOS (which was modeled after CP/M) and MSX (which was was modeled after MS-DOS itself)

I enjoy Warhol's silkscreen prints. You can pick one up on Ebay for about $100 or so and it is pretty rare for a piece by such a prominent artists to be affordable but that's what Warhol's market was.

With that process you can also get spot colors that are not in the CYMK space, for instance last week I struggled with printing an image of Rudbeckia flowers until I understood that the RGB version of that yellow (at the edge of saturation so probably not as saturated as the real thing) doesn't exist in CYMK which means if you don't modify the color to be in gamut the printer will do it for you -- probably not the way you want.

With spot color (say Pantone) I could get some ink mixed up that would color match the flower even better -- it was before Pantone but Warhol's spot colors were often like that. And of course his work with the Amiga is much in the style he's famous for.
