I think programmers are in the perfect profession to call LLMs out for just how bad they are. They are fancy auto-complete and I love them in my daily usage, but a big part of that is because I can tell when they are ridiculously wrong. Which is so often you really have to question how useful they would be for anything where they aren’t just fancy auto-complete.

Which isn’t AIs fault. I’m sure they can be great in cancer detection, unless they replace what we’re already doing because they are cheaper than doctors. In combination with an expert AI is great, but that’s not what’s happening is it?
NHS bashing is our national sport.

Throw in noisy unions, elections (despite the idea of a Conservative government actually privatising the NHS being absurd), and pay comparisons to other countries that don't account for inflation, locuming, and private work - and here we are.

Not to say it's the best and couldn't be better or anything, but I do think the discourse and perception is way out of proportion.
- simple boards can be made by first transferring your PCB design to a copper-plated board using toner transfer or UV exposure, then etching the rest of the copper away using an etchant solution (if you're willing; takes some elbow grease and dangerous chemicals). Or you can get a cheap fab-house to manufacture and ship you something (like 7-14 days, a few tens of bucks per batch)

- simple boards you can probably solder with a cheapo (~50-100$) soldering system, or a solder-paste+hot air machine setup

- components you can get for very cheap from LCSC, aliexpress or at okay prices but good reliability from digikey, mouser etc.

You'll also need stuff like multimeter, ocsilloscope, logic analyzers, etc for debugging your boards but you'll know when you need them, and there are cheap-enough options available up to the point when you start doing advanced stuff and you know what you need.
Personally, I think it will offer valuable new insight on KPIs and challenges on conventional wisdom, because we certainly need more of that. Maybe throw in some gushing over how great a seminar was or a heart-warming story that renews my faith in capitalism.

Are you living in the UK or just making baseless assumptions? For an ever-inceasing number of serious health issues, the NHS has been essentially non-functional for many years. I have friends with chronic conditions that are looking to emigrate becase they're dreading their health getting worse in a system that's doing nothing to help them.

"NHS would be great except for the bad politicians" is not a serious argument.

> And Why can't you just walk in to a clinic to get x-rays and tests done like it is in done elsewhere. Have clinics compete for price.

Because false negatives are a massive problem. People get biopsies or treatments for things that never needed it, which is ultimately worse for their health (on average) than catching the rare time it is something.
Then they shouldn't release one every year.
> things can be patented even if there's prior art (patent examiners aren't all knowing).

To be clearer: Patents that are invalid can get issued because the reason for it being invalid is not known, and I'd argue that nowadays this is likely a vast majority of patents. Patents are filed in huge numbers, with many companies just bolstering the number of patents they own as it inflates the value of their intellectual property, rather than caring too much about the value or even validity of each of them.

Figuring out if a patent actually has any value is unfortunately up to those deciding to challenge it.
I'm always a bit shocked when I see people attacking other people's passion projects. I don't mean constructive criticism, but stuff like "why would you even spend time on this, *I* don't like [recording my voice/the programming language you used/whatever]".

+1 to the digital makerspace idea. I've also been looking for such a thing. Probably the closest thing I know is the maker side of YouTube where people show what they are working on. But obviously you're "encouraged" to "industrialize" your hobby and the barrier to entry is huge...

Would be cool to find a community that is very welcoming and non-constructive feedback is not allowed.
Same. But in Croatia where things are a little bit... well... different. For instance, I don't need a prescription to buy (almost) any drug in the pharmacy. And I don't need a prescription or referral for any medical exams or blood tests; I can order them myself. Asia is like this, but Europe to the north and west of Croatia really isn't.

I believe that things in the UK and Germany might be a lot slower and much more restrictive.
The idea being that the security updates would then also have to keep coming as long as copyright is held.
>Think about it: Flappy bird is ruining lives. It was said with a straight face in many infotainment shows.

They said the same thing about World of Warcraft, Dota, League of Legends, Fortnite and countless other examples. People and I believe all mammals are prone to the addictions, that's why you need to teach yourself self-control or find somebody else who can teach you that or perhaps help you to control yourself.

>Flappy bird was never the problem, IMO the author likely withdrew it because the media magnification was becoming scary.

Exactly, sensationalistic media headlines made him depressed not Flappy Bird as a game.
> there’s been a (tense) ceasefire for nearly the last 20 years

True, but much of that was spent by Hezbollah fighting in the Syrian Civil War on behalf of Assad (their historical benefactor in Israel).

Now that the civil war is de facto over with Assad in control of most of the country except rump Turkish and de facto Israeli (Jabal al Deize) exclusion zones, Hezbollah returned to antagonizing Israel.

The Israel-Hezbollah conflict was bound to happen even if 10/7 didn't happen.

The slowness you describe has not been my experience in many European countries. It really depends on how the healthcare system is designed to work.

I was pretty surprised when I went to China and I could just go to a doctor's office without an appointment, stand in a queue, stick out my tongue, get a diagnosis within ten seconds, and be sent out with a handful of random colorful pills wrapped in paper. Yes, this was, in fact, a real doctor's office, and I did take the pills. I have no idea what they were or did, if anything at all.

I also did enjoy the phone-ordered house visits from nurses in Indonesia when I got Bali belly, although that is probably a result of low labor cost more than anything else. And the poop tests I received a few hours later weren't all that helpful. Oh, I have "amoebas," that's very useful, thanks.

All told, I'm happy I usually live in Western Europe. Relatively expensive, but high-quality, fast healthcare without the constant risk of going bankrupt when something unfortunate happens.
A others have replied, some Dems were quite red, a lot of politicians are more eager to preserve their jobs than burn political capital...

The excerpt from his book: https://archive.is/V5TVM . He also talks about "political capital" and whether it'd be more wise to spend them on e.g. recession recovery. Ctrl-F for "More than forty-three million Americans were now uninsured" to skip the introduction about how the system got to the way it got.
> You don't need to try putting words in his mouth after he specifically stated that maintaining a simple user interface is higher priority.

I'm not trying to put words in his mouth (I'm pretty sure I delineated his direct quotes with quotation marks). But I saw him write multiple paragraphs about the complexity of lexing multi-statement lambdas in Python due to its whitespace sensitivity, and then conclude that the user facing interface must necessarily be complex too, which just feels fallacious to me. If the complexity of the implementation doesn't factor into the design then why go through so much effort to communicate how difficult it is to lex? He compares the implementation to a "2000 step [...] infinite-dimensional" mathematical proof.

I just fundamentally don't buy the argument that one statement in a lambda is fine, but two is dark magic that needs to be removed from the call site and quarantined in a separate def, and I think if the implementation were simpler GVR wouldn't have been so diametrically opposed to the feature. Even if he outsourced the "puzzle solving" to an external contributor, no one enjoys the increased maintenance burden of a complex implementation.

Anyone who's ever written customer facing code knows what it's like to receive a seemingly simple feature request that's actually difficult to implement because of prior architectural decisions, and the "gut reaction" is to convince the user that the feature itself is bad. I hate to invoke comedy but this reminds me of the microservices meme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8OnoxKotPQ
> It's reasonable to guess that these devices were made to only explode after a very unique code is is received, and/or only when traffic came over a radio channel known to be used by Hezbollah.

Why is this a reasonable thing to guess?
Do sanctions really require blocking all access from Iranian IPs to sites hosted by a US provider? Don't they usually just require not doing business with people from sanctioned countries?
iOS never supported this configuration regardless, a change in SSL certificate does not cause any kind of notification to the user.

Also, you're basically objecting to the entire idea of PKI for use in IMAP which is incredibly hard to justify. Perhaps you wish to use a different model for your own personal reasons but the default being PKI should not be controversial, and if you want to use your own model you should use a different mail client.
This is an understandable position, and probably explains why ad-blockers have been tolerated for so long, however it seems it isn't working so well any more because the media giants have been pouring a lot of resources in recent years into defeating ad-blockers. Many websites will refuse to load the page until you turn off the ad-blocker (of course it's an arms race, as the ad-blockers will figure out how to block this ad-block detection), YouTube is apparently working very hard at defeating ad-blocking (with varied results so far), etc. So it seems that ad-blockers have gotten popular enough that these companies believe they're "losing" too much money (i.e., not getting money they think they should) to ad-blocking and are stepping up efforts to fight back.

Of course, the worse they make the ads, the more people turn to ad-blockers. Back when ads were new, no one really cared much about a banner ad here or there. But then the advertisers came up with pop-up ads, and users (rightfully) revolted, and tools to block these ads were devised, even building them directly into web browsers because these pop-ups were so awful. The same is happening now, I believe: YouTube ads weren't so annoying in the past, only showing at the video start, but now they inject 30-minute ads at random times, so more and more users are turning to blockers.
I don't have a PhD but I do have some background in economics, and economics is consistently one of the worst areas on HN. I think it's representative of society in general. There's something about economics that makes it feel like you can just reason through it with common sense, whereas that's rarely true in reality.
> aka, patents no longer "promote the progress of science and useful arts".

Truly innovative things are often not patented at all anymore, and instead kept as closely guarded business secrets. Patents are mainly used for when the company doesn't have a way to keep it secret, and for random things to bolster IP value.
This is amazing. I vaguely recall seeing this long time ago (may be here on HN) and people were having fun and submitting new audios. It's not a new project right?

> They will very quickly find that the US system is far better than the NHS. We get seen more quickly, our doctors can afford to actually spend time on us, more effort goes into root-causing a problem, we have more treatment options, etc.

Nothing stops you from choosing extra insurance in the UK too if you believe you need that level of cover.

The only reason you're comparing it to the NHS instead of an equivalently expensive UK private healthcare plan is that the NHS provides good enough universal coverage that most people don't feel the need for more.

But the US equivalent would be to compare it with Medicare and Medicaid.

Well, pagers are not military products. And second, except for ordnance, you don't need any license to manufacture any product.

For products that can have dual-use capabilities, you need an export license that is given per customer (at least in the EU) where some due diligence is performed. If the company is a reseller in Lebanon and there are no export bans for that country, they can be sold/bought without an issue.

The fact that somewhere in transit they were modified, the manufacturer or seller cannot be held liable for it.

Yeah my own Win95 machine had 32MB and ran super happy. The 4MB machine was frankensteined from very random parts for a friend who fried the PSU on their 8MB - the difference between all 3 setups was crazy, I think at 4MB you had to use a 16-color palette? At 640x480x8bpp video memory alone should eat 300KB (I don't think there was double-buffering?)

I sometimes wonder, what would be the "smallest" machine you could feasibly DIY/build today, that would still allow you to be somewhat productive (e.g. write code, very basic web browsing, SSH, etc). I recently spent a week with a PowerBook G4 (2002) and it's very usable (save for the fan noise). There's probably a lot to explore with modern MCUs.

Blind people could benefit of carrying one or several ultrasonic sensor like those used on cars to park. That would emit soft bleeps, faster when something is on the way or closer to an obstacle.

Can be built easily with an Arduino

I think that another possibility could be to fill your home or workplace with those devices put on walls or furniture. The idea would be that your table could say to you "lookout, I'm here" when you are about to crash against it. Use it first in the areas that were more problematic. The volume of the bleeps should be reduced to a low comfortable whispering level so they don't annoy the user. I wonder why nobody has created still a kitt providing a soundscape for blind people. That product should have a different click sound for each object marked in the soundscape.

Another possibility would be a snapshot soundscape, where a remote control could turn on/off the system only when necessary providing the blind people with a mental picture hearing all the blips at the same time and its position respect to the other blips. Like a cane, but covering much more distance
It's pretty simple - tell me why you think it's justified for Lebanon to attack Israel?

You're dancing around the "context" but not actually saying why that context makes it legitimate for Lebanon to attack based on the pre Oct 7th status quo. Sure Lebanon and Israel have some territorial dispute, but it's like 20 sq km, not something you should start a war for.

Lots of neighboring countries have a bloody history, that doesn't mean starting a new war is legitimate, right? Can Poland start firing rockets at Germany because Germany invaded them in the past?

The point is that throwing ever more money at a bottomless pit isn't a solution. Hence there must be changes, not just more money.

Another issue is that the NHS is a religion. It is blasphemous to suggest departing from free-of-charge delivery or private involvement (although that's already what we have). Even suggesting "reform" is badly received.
Surprising numbers, and really goes to show how cheap the hardware/software side is for this sort of thing if you do it right.

My own guess as to why GPT overuses delve is that it’s an artefact of RLHF. When you’re training a model to respond as a chatbot rather than the next most probable token you’ve people marking responses as good/bad. You’ve got some other criteria as well, like what sounds good.

What’s probably happened is that the “delve” responses sound better to the people doing RLHF, so they’re disproportionally included in the output.

It’s not just delve, there would be a whole list of overused words that you could find by comparing a large corpus of GPT output (or any LLM) to a large corpus of human-written text. You could use that as heuristic for an AI detector, only problem being that you’d need a different corpus for each LLM.
Oh Sorry, the HN client I am using on phone didn't show the blurb.

You would know to run netstat or lsof if you have expected something like that to happen. It certainly wouldn't ever cross my mind to have sshd socket-activated and systemd actively trying to hide the fact. This change by Canonical was out of the blue, totally unexpected.
It's more likely to cover the organizers legally.

I imagine no-one wants to be on the receiving end of "You are accused of actively encouraging Iranian / Russian / <insert other sanctioned state here> hackers to identify exploitable security vulnerabilities in appliances owned and operated by Americans; how do you plead?"
Funding Mozilla, not Firefox directly, would appear to be money well spent.
Yes but this person learned to mimic the internet at large. Theoretically its preferred way of talking would be the average of all training data, as mimicry is GPT's training objective, and would therefore have very similar word distributions. Only, this doesn't account for RLHF and prompts spreading memetically among users.
The UK's healthcare system isn't failing, it's being failed. There's been a constant cycle of defunding the NHS because it is bad and the NHS becoming worse from a lack of funding. The obvious end goal is full privatization once the system becomes defunct enough for that to be sold as a "tough but necessary" decision. There is also very blatant lobbying from US healthcare firms in the UK as they would seek to expand into the UK once they no longer have to compete with the NHS.

It's effectively self-imposed austerity, which has been demonstrated to produce worse outcomes than investing in public services instead. There's an obvious conflict of interest at play as politicians (in the UK especially thanks to its governmental system) rarely have to rely on these public services as they can easily afford private alternatives.

There's also the factor of Western corruption. In Germany for example the health minister during the early pandemic owned a significant stake in several pharmacies while at the same time pushing for and implementing a mask subsidy that created massive profits for pharmacies handing out masks at or below cost. These ties are often legal despite the obvious conflict of interest.
