> The solution isn't to raise minimum wage, it's to eliminate minimum wage and put in an equitable UBI/welfare system. It'll raise wages naturally, because if they have a decent safety net, most people will feel comfortable quitting / not accepting an unjustly low salary.

This is not an accurate description of the empirical evidence for either minimum wage or UBI.

The evidence is that minimum wages do not reduce employment up to 60% of local median wage and can increase employment - so there's no reason to get rid of it. And UBI doesn't have much effect in either direction - so it's not really that important and the main reason to do it is that it's much simpler than welfare alternatives.

Anyway, UBI isn't an alternative to minimum wage because the point of UBI and other welfare systems is to support non-workers, namely children and the elderly.

Wow, that is a f**d up system, that employers can pay less than minimum wage if the employees do a good job.
The Dawn of Modern Identity - co founder
Greetings, fellow denizens of the digital realm! If you've ever felt like your identity is less secure than a Vogon spaceship's navigation system, fear not, for I bring tidings of a revolution in identity management.

Identity theft and data breaches have become as common as tea at an English spaceport. Your personal data, once more secure than a locked room in the Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster factory, now feels like it's floating in the void, waiting to be scooped up by the first passing cyber pirate.

Enter a solution I'm working on using emerging tech and killer ux that's not just thinking outside the box but has launched the box into the sun. We're harnessing the security of Bitcoin's blockchain, not for currency, but for something arguably more valuable in today's world - your identity.

Seeking a co founder who is deeply technical (as am I with many years experience as a founder and in this space pseudo separately) with incredible work ethic as this will be very challenging and may fail.

Bitcoin's Security: We're leveraging Bitcoin's blockchain for its security, not its currency. Think of it like using the Heart of Gold's improbability drive to make your identity theft-proof. Bitcoin's network has never been hacked, and we're using that same tech to make your identity as unbreachable as the Vault of Azkaban.

If interested shoot me a note to my burner email vanny.t.vu@gmail.com with a. something you've built recently and b. your phone number. If not interested please upvote to get more eyes.

Note: This post is crafted with a dash of humor, an outside perspective on human concerns, and a rebellious streak against the status quo of digital identity management.

This is a problem across the hard sciences particularly ones with a computational focus. The salaries are, simply put, pathetic. Even at private labs I have friends who make 80-100k USD when industry would pay the same job twice as much. And it's not like 100k is the same 100k it was 5-10 years ago. It's wild that nothing is being done to increase salaries in science. Everyone just seems to bury their heads in the sand and hope someone else will fix it.
> if your business is only profitable by the taxpayer subsidizing a relatively large number of employees wages with welfare benefits

Welfare does not subsidize employers, it is a subsidy /against/ employers. Giving employees welfare increases their wages because it increases their negotiating power.

1. Why would a repair shop accept a repair job without the return information?

2. Why would a repair shop start snooping on their own client's machines even if they were unable to contact their client?

3. Why are there multiple disk images, some "raw" and some pre-organized released to different press organizations and Trump sympathizers?

4. Why did the FBI warn Facebook in 2020 about the laptop story to "cover it up" when the FBI at the time was lead by a man appointed by Trump himself?
Please notice that you are responding to a position the GP did not take. He said

> people can choose whether they work or stay home raising a family, and nobody _has_ to work to make ends meet.

Parents who leave paid employment to raise children are far from "sit[ing] around and do[ing] nothing". If we value future conditions (even restricting that calculation only to economic productivity, though I'd argue other considerations also matter) then investing resources in raising and educating children is rational, even for those of us who don't have them ourselves.

Fermilab operated the Tevatron until the LHC was online. They then pivoted to emphasize neutrino research, which is perfectly doable with the linac and the main injector ring. There is a lot to learn about neutrinos. I certainly do not foresee any future where Fermilab is shuttered. There are always frontiers in physics worth exploring.
It is Tesla's duty to provide rigorous, scientifically, and statistically sound evidence for their claims of safety as Waymo provides [1][2]. Instead, they present bare numbers with no base rate estimations, confidence intervals, methodology, or model supporting them despite already killing tens of people. They deliberately market falsified numbers [3] and their models are unable to detect individual sources of error that result in underestimating crashes by a factor of 500% (from a single well-known factor, ignoring any other source of error which we should assume are abundant given they failed to account for differences in airbag deployment rates which literal internet posters have been pointing out is a potential source of bias for years).

They are either incompetent or intentionally misrepresenting their actual safety statistics. Until the experts at Tesla can find some rigorous evidence that their system is actually safer, it is safe to assume that it is not; they have had plenty of time for a competent team to produce sound estimates.

You have understood correctly. What LLMs are, at least in their current state, is not fundamentally different from a simple markov chain generator.

Technically speaking, it is of course, far more complex. There is some incredible vector math and token rerouting going on; But in terms of how you get output from input - it's still "how often have I seen x in relation to y" at the core level.

They do not learn, they do not think, they do not reason. They are probability engines. If anyone tells you their LLM is not, it has just been painted over in snake oil to appear otherwise.

Legality aside, I used to work in Hinsdale and I’ve visited Fermilab in Batavia.

I could be all wrong about this but the location didn’t seem that desirable. Batavia is far away from major highways and feels like a forgotten sleepy town out in the boonies. I remember feeling, “who would ever want to live here except physicists who wanted to isolate themselves?”

This is in contrast to Argonne National Lab (also operated by UChicago) down the street (well 30 mi, 40 mins away) in Lemont. It’s next to the I-55 and reachable from populated burbs like Naperville and Westmont, and even Chicago. Food options abound in neighboring suburbs. Now that’s prime real estate.

Based on the majority of web sites on the Internet: Do we really care if the code is copy-pasted out of ChatGPT or out of Stack Overflow?

A lot of folks do not have the necessary knowledge to deeply understand the code they're writing - and I don't mean that as a diss. There's a lot of things they understand that better SWEs might not.

ChatGPT and StackOverflow both allow them to build things they otherwise couldn't, the same way e.g. cars are tools that allow people to travel faster even if they can't fix the cars or make smarter choices about where they go. At some point, that lack of knowledge will cause them harm, but that's not specific to any given tool, and the harm from ChatGPT advice isn't worse than the harm from SO advice.

> A certain president was very responsible for our current Supreme Court

Do you really think Trump had even heard of the judge names he picked? Also, do you think Jeb Bush or Marco Rubio would have picked "good" justices? I think you're giving Trump too much personal credit here.

Same for most of the other issues you highlighted, which I don't disagree with, but at the same time I don't think Ron DeSantis or any other candidate would have been a stark difference from Trump.

For example, from https://www.aei.org/op-eds/what-it-would-mean-to-abolish-the...:

"eliminating the Department [of Education] is hardly a new notion. Republicans have been calling for its abolition pretty much since its inception in 1979. In 1980, the year after Jimmy Carter fulfilled a campaign pledge to the National Education Association by creating the Department, Ronald Reagan pledged to dismantle it"

"National figures’ promising to abolish the Department (and then not doing so) has been a staple of GOP politics and party platforms for four decades. In 1994, Newt Gingrich’s “Contract with America” advocated eliminating the Department. In 1996, Republican presidential nominee Bob Dole did the same. In 2011, the GOP presidential debates featured an infamous moment when ED was one of three cabinet departments that Rick Perry promised to eliminate—and one of the two he could recall"

In my opinion, we're not going to fix much by electing a "good" president. We've built a tower of shit and putting a ribbon on top isn't going to make it smell good. We spend so much time and energy arguing about the color of the next ribbon, and all that does is distract us from the shit pile.

Why would you assume that people who don't have full time work sit around and do nothing?

I'm the breadwinner for someone who stays at home and she's immensely valuable. A fact I'm quite aware of as she just left for a few weeks on a trip and now I'm working and doing what she does. She does all the house chores, picks up medications/runs errands, is trying to get a business of her own off the ground (is making ~500/mo with potential to scale if she's allowed time to actually do it), etc. She also contributes a lot to making sure our household is embedded in our community, which in turn enables us to both more efficiently help others (when we can) and to receive help when we need it without relying more on the government/taxpayers. She does the work required to do things like help our parents when needed (we're siblings), which would otherwise be paid caregiving paid by, you guessed it, the taxpayers! She also makes me a way better worker because I'm the one person on my team who actually can focus on work all day and doesn't have to frequently step out for life things.

And this is without children in the home.

Not to mention students, people with disabilities (some of whom may end up being a greater boon to society if they're allowed to reskill or be pickier about jobs rather than being forced to work themselves to the bone until they can contribute nothing + their medical needs end up being worse than they would have been if they were accommodated in the beginning), etc.

The idea that the only way people can contribute to society is via paid employment is a sign of a lack of creativity.

Exactly this. Use a Bloom filter to find candidate solutions, write those out and review them later. Since you can write the entire candidate and its location, the review consists of a simple sort.

Digging in to estimate the speed, if your Bloom filter has a 0.1% chance of a collision then a trillion digits of pi will result in a billion candidates. This requires ~15 bits per entry or about 2TB of memory for the full Bloom filter. Using multiple passes on subsets of the data allows you to trade speed for space.

Note also that a 128 bit integer has room for 38 digits. This means that you can do all of the shifting using modulo, multiplication and addition operations. I would be very surprised if the cost of the disk I/O to read the raw digits is as fast as the sieving of candidates. As such, the speed of a single pass should be about the cost of reading about 500GB of data which means that multi-threading will be of limited use. This should be less than an hour on most machines. That means that one of my ancient Intel NUCs with 32GB should be able to scan the entire range in about a day no matter what size sequence we are looking for.

I have no problem with this arrest.

I do not want a Muslim woman to be arrested for wearing a burqa.

Anybody know anything about this law? Does it explicitly not cover women wearing burqas? Or are we just implicitly expecting "reasonableness" in how it's applied? (Or are we not even expecting reasonableness, and we all know it's going to be used against Muslim women soon enough?)

The article was written for the benefit of Americans with business operations in France, so understanding why America is way better than France to run a social media company is relevant information.

That the article wound up being circulated to a bunch of Europeans who thought it was an article about French law after someone posted it on HN is something of an accident; the article isn't for them (unless of course they're planning on starting a social media company, in which case leaving Europe and setting up shop in America on a permanent basis would be recommended). The very fact of his arrest is enough for Americans to know to steer clear of the EU going forward.

How did it even go 400 miles in the first place without stopping to supercharge?

I have a Tesla. My second so far, and I've been driving one since the first Model 3 was released. Pretty happy with the car. FSD is cool, better than I expected in many way, but I just can't envision it going anywhere over single-digit miles without a disengagement. I never got more than 3 or 4 miles before it did something requiring me to take over. And it was worse on the highway, not better.

Not interested in a fight, but I remain very skeptical every time someone makes a wild claim of hundreds of miles continously on FSD. It just doesn't match my experience at all, nor any of my friends who also drive Teslas and have experienced FSD.
> Why are you attributing and referencing these incidents as FSD killing people?

Nobody is.

The first entry, case No. 432, appears to have a null value in the Autopilot claimed and Verified Tesla Death columns. The first Autopilot claimed death is No. 410 [1].
