Thank you!

This might be a viable licensing scheme for Swiss government contractors now. The federal government requires open source licenses for all software projects as of last year or so.

(A)GPL+CLA might be a good way to ensure the interests of the both the Swiss people and the flexibility or competitiveness of contractors, allowing them to retain proprietary licenses where needed or wanted.

Follow up:

Am I correct in thinking that this might slightly hinder contributions on one hand, but ultimately anyone could still maintain an _independent_ fork?

Or in other words: Would contributions to a fork still require signing the CLA and essentially allow the original authors to dual license any such contributions?
How fast does tsc process that input though? I would be very surprised if you can get to 50x faster - that's Python territory and JavaScript isn't that slow. 10x maybe?
My understanding is this used to be the case[1] but isn't really true any longer due to things like the "star" method for model training[2]. Empirically it absolutely (circa GPT3) used to be the case that if you prompted with "Explain all your reasoning step by step and then give the answer at the end" or similar it would give you a better answer for a complex question than if you said "Just give me the answer and nothing else" or similar, or asked for the answer first, and then circa gpt-4 answers started getting much longer even if you asked the model to be concise.

That doesn't seem to be the case any more and there has been speculation this is down to the star method being used for training newer models. I say speculation because I don't believe people have come out and said they are using star for training. OpenAI referred to Q* somewhere but they wouldn't be drawn on whether that * is this "star" and although google were involved in publishing the star paper they haven't said gemini uses it (I don't think).

> I leave it to the reader to imagine how automated decision making would play out here

Could you elaborate? Many other services have automated revocation, either through scanning for exposed keys or offering an endpoint to submit keys to, and as far as I can tell the way it has played out is in successful warning of and prevention of many leaks. I don't see how lack of it can be justified as a "security" measure.
Charging a fee for using it is a bad idea because then people will delay using it until it's too late.

If anything, Lewis always seemed to me to be a guy who was, at base, an atheist, and spent a ton of time trying to convince himself not to be one by doing a lot of (frankly, pretty flaccid) apologetics. As I understand it, he was friends with Chesterton and Tolkien and I wouldn't be surprised if he envied their more robust faith.

I myself am continually perplexed by CS Lewis's popularity with Americans. From where I am sitting his fiction is just a bunch of very clumsily put together allegories and his apologetics are also not particularly great. It seems to me that Lewis is an example of the very American rule that to get really popular you have to present something that is just smart enough to make your reader feel smart, but dumb enough that they can understand it.

In JavaScript tagged template literals have the ability to identify the callsite. This is really powerful and used to create template identity in lit-html.

I've wanted the ability to reference the callsite in functions, and lobbied the V8 team for something like arguments.callsite, but was (probably rightly) politely told no.

But if you're willing to abuse tagged template literal syntax, they're really just function calls, so you can do something like:

const dumbExample = (x) => {
while (someComplicatedStuffHappens()) {
pretendLikeThisFunctionIsBig();
}

const result = memoize(doSomethingVeryExpensive, x)``;

doMoreInterestingWork();
}

memoize() must return a template tag function, which will be invoked with a TemplateStringsArray (because of the ``) that can act like a callsite identifier, which can be a key into a WeakMap of memoization dictionaries.

It's mostly a curiosity because who wants that syntax, but it's interesting that JavaScript does have the special power hidden behind one feature.

SD cards have always boggled me as a storage medium and I've personally only ever used them on Pis and other SBCs, it seemed like the more expensive ones my brother would purchase would die fairly fast on the PI's I was maintaining for him. On the other hand I have a tinker board (gen 1) that has used the same SD[0] since 2017 that is currently running Bind9, Nginx, Prometheus, Grafana, Matrix synapse home server, and several go projects I've made that use a mix of either postgresql or MySQL. While each year my anxiety raises about it dying, it seems to be running fine still at around 89% utilization. Not sure if it is just built different or I hit jackpot bin of SD cards, either way I've been looking for an SBC upgrade that uses either pcie NVMe or has SATA capabilities for an actual HDD so that I don't have to worry about it as much. Even if it did die today everything on it is backed up to my PC.

Use a 3rd party password manager with Passkey support like 1Password or Bitwarden for the most broad cross-platform support. You can't currently export and import passkeys between different implementations, so if you wanted to switch from Apple iCloud to Google, for example, then you'd have to go to each site and register a new passkey on each of them with your new password manager.

The FIDO alliance as supposedly working on a way to securely transfer passkeys between different password managers, but that's not here yet.

A colleague of mine has lived in the USA for years. When visiting the local office here he commented, paraphrased "the craziest thing there is that at any given time you can make a tiny mistake, and the rest of your life is messed up completely". I think ruining random individuals' lives is not a sign of a good legal system. There are some other systems that try to avoid that more, though of course that still happens, and there are some things to be discussed on what kind of contracts are legal etc. There are of course different legal traditions in the world and so on too, in the bigger picture, but still, it seems so disastrous to the individual looking from outside.
Could someone point to a description of how the passkey protocol actually works? I mean for example at the level of, here's how you would implement it using a crypto library in Python or some other language.

Huawei's HiSilicon Can Compete with Nvidia GPUs in China
Ask HN: Platform that lets you invest in AI Companies
Hi, I am creating a platform where instead of traditional cash investments, startups receive cloud credits, GPU time, and essential hardware in exchange for a slice of their equity

This approach directly addresses the hefty computing power needs of AI ventures, making it a win-win: startups get the resources they need to grow, and investors get a stake in emerging tech companies.

This is not a unique idea nor I intend it to be.If anyone is interested,the platform is geared towards small players(1-10 people companies) initially.

Do let me know what you guys think and feel free to roast this idea!!

If you are a company/indiviual interested in this platform,do reach out on my email in my profile!

If you don't currently depend on a software product for managing your passwords, then you are undoubtedly using weak or reused passwords everywhere. You absolutely should be using a password manager to store unique, complex passwords for everything, and then it's not really a big jump to upgrade to the superior user experience of Passkeys.
LLMs are general purpose tools and absolutely are not better than trained models (using the latest techniques) for a specific task. I mean, that's obviously true if you think about it.

You can use similar datasets and the latest model architectures and if you train a model purely for sentiment analysis it will be better than frontier general purpose LLMs for sentiment analysis.

A library can be written in one or the other. Note most of your "evidence" is job postings, which are generally written by non-technical folks who often mistake Javascript and Java. But no, there is no "C/C++" language or library. There are skills which help you in both. There is code that compiles with both compilers. There is no WG21 for C/C++.

Yes, Visual Studio supports both C and C++, but those are, in fact, two different languages.

You'll struggle to find the links you promised at the end because C and C++ are run by two different groups, meaning you won't be able to link us to single sources.

I've been an early user of Infracost and I cannot recommend it enough. It being in the CI/CD system is good but it being in the IDE is excellent. Cost is an important architecture concern and yet it's one of the most opaque things to deal with. This IDE plugin for Infracost fixes cost being opaque.

Excellent work, thanks for this.
You could do:

func inspect(n ast.Node) func(func(ast.Node) bool) {
return func(f func(ast.Node) bool) {

}
}

used:

fmt.Printf("%T\n", n)
}

No I’m asking why we should look at people who make video on YouTube differently than any other type of creator who publish elsewhere.

The original post I was replying to said:

> However as I mentioned in another reply in this thread, removing routes to monetisation and devaluing content in general (by making it be effectively a loss-leader for value-add sponsorships or memberships) will only have the effect of making YouTube non-viable for many, and especially those who necessarily have higher production values to make better quality (I’m thinking more thoroughly-researched, more interesting, that sort of thing) content.

And my answer was that this is no different than any other type of creator online.
You know what’s also impressive besides this beta release? How Claude 3.5 Sonnet is still able to keep up so well. Grok-2 beat every other LLM except Claude. How did Anthropic achieve this?

You won't ever convince the people here that having your comment sent into the gray is detrimental. Not to mention the 1-9-90 rule[0], meaning 90% of people don't even understand how annoying it is to have a good comment sent into the gray.

According to to them, getting your comment grayed out means its still technically there, so you aren't getting censored by the bandwagon.

They fail to understand that graying out your comment signals to the cursory viewer that it is a low quality comment. Whereas often it is not. You might comment something that is factually right, but goes against HN's vibe du jour, so you get one or two downvotes, and then the larger group starts mass-clicking ▼ without any critical thought.

A much more healthy system would just be sorting comments by vote activity and percentage-positive. It would still make controversial comments slightly less visible, but because there is not explicit signal of quality, no bandwagon effects.

So, Zolgensma is cheap?

Their argument is just that: 'The reason Zolgensma is so expensive is because that is the price Novartis has decided it is worth because it “dramatically transforms the lives of families affected by this devastating disease”'.

Basically it's "isn't you child's live worth 2.5 million?"

If someone found a one-shot no-side effects cure for a particular type of cancer there's no way they'd price it the same as the full course of chemo, they'd price it at "how much would you pay to be alive again". Insurance companies don't pay shit, their customers do.

I barely interact with content creators. They don't reply to my comments very much, and even if they did, they'd still say they 100% support the thing they're being paid to say nice things about. I cant have a genuine conversation with them about the thing, how good it is, what the downsides are etc. See Kyle hill's vaguely recent video about scientific misconduct where they also advertise BetterHelp. The comments section was overwhelmingly negative about it, and their response was essentially "cry about it."
It is important to remember the details here.

Disney dont run the restuarant, they are just the landlord.

The customer didnt pay anything to disney, they just visited a restuarant at a freely open Mall which happened to be owned by disney.

The only reason this person is trying to sue disney is because the disney mall website republished the menu of the restuarant which said 'Allergen Free' on it.

The absurd counter repsonse from disney is just their way of drawing attention to the fact that the original case is just as absurd.
Why are they suing Disney when they had nothing to do with the food served, the staff serving it, or even the company that runs the restuarant?

I'm not sure what you mean by association here then.

If you mean to say that there are, say, an infinite number of DAGs that adequately explain reality -- and in the simplest, for this liver-kideny case, we don't see association ---- but in the "True DAG" we do.. then maybe.

But my point is, at least, that we dont have access to this True model. In the context of data analysis, of computing association of any kind, the value we get -- for any reasonable choice of formulae -- is consistent with cause or no cause.

Performing analysis as-if you have the true model, and as-if the null rival is just randomness, is pseudoscience in my view. Though, more often, it's called frequentism.

Nestle regularly uses slave and child labor.

I don't pin this 100% on customers, because many people aren't informed and worse, it's often not just these single companies, it's all their major competitors doing exactly the same thing.

The issue is a lack of regulation and enforcement. We can't trust major companies to be good actors because capitalism does not reward honest actors. This is one purposes of government, to make the cost of being a bad actor high enough that companies behave.

> The AGPL ensures that the community AGPL licensed code will always have to be open source, and that anybody else can use it too.

That's true in the sense that there will always be an AGPL version, but it's not true that "anybody else" can use it to. In many situations you need to acquire a non AGPL license from the original copyright holder to be legally able to use the software in certain environments. That's why CLAs are important so that there is always a copyright holder that can give you a non AGPL version.
