Ask HN: Would professors be happier if AI handled their teaching duties?

Personally, I agree with you.

That said, the current argument is that because AWS is part of Amazon at large, it can gain undue advantage by being subsidized by other organizations in Amazon, and forgo profits in order to gain a controlling share in an industry.

This is basically Lina Khan's whole argument [0]

I personally don't subscribe to this argument as a major reason for AWS's dominance compared to Azure in the early 2010s was because of stronger execution (lots of training sessions, evangelization, some truly cutting edge architecture) and better product-market fit, but Hipster Anti-Trust assumes a bunch of smallish companies competing with each other can result in a similar outcome (hence why VCs like Thiel, Horowitz, and Andressen tended to support scholars affiliated to the New Brandeis Movement)

Parent was about "EU's 2027 requirement for user-replaceable batteries" and changing batteries on stolen phones. To be it still doesn't make sense.

Sure, stuff are stolen and resold, sometimes as part. I'm not denying it. Not sure how user-replaceable batteries will impact that in any meaningful way, especially if the world already has "Chinese criminal city for stolen phones". Do we really see an important amount of stolen batteries in lawfully owned and maintained phones to the point a DRM on batteries would benefit legit users?

Let's not assume DRM will reduce theft and criminal activities.
> To say something is a solution means that something has addressed a problem completely.

maybe definitionally correct but I'm not convinced that's what people have come to expect that word to mean. Does the writer believe the term "better solution" is an oxymoron?

the problem with UI is that they are often not accessible by default. The solution is building a more accessible UI, or perhaps a better solution is building a more standard UI that will function more predictably with existing accessibility tools that people are using, such as screen readers, element selectors, macros.

Solutions exist. Better solutions also exist! In my universe there is always such thing as a better solution.

And as long as UI is a problem, design OUGHT TO BE problem solving.

> This auditability is an interesting aspect of how 501(c)(3) organizations work, because it means you can donate funds to them and know that the IRS will ostensibly be ensuring that the money is spent in a way that supports their stated mission.

Come on. IRS is woefully understaffed. This might be a good talking point but short of some sort of egregious financial crime (like actual fraud) it seems unlikely the IRS gives a shit about how PSF spends its money.
I've yet to see a cloud deployment that didn't have just as many people managing it as an actual datacenter. And those people were higher paid. None of the examples I have access to shows a cost saving from the effort.

(And it doesn't save you from downtime, either. Cloud just introduces a new set of risks. Also, Most companies don't actually need anywhere near the kind of infrastructure that AWS does).
Lol. I hope this is sarcasm. They have zero competition and 100% lockins. I would say AWS is a national threat at this point.

So for example in the UK with the computer misuse act, intent matters. If you intentionally change an id because you expect you will be able to access other data it becomes a crime.

Your example is flawed because in this case the private data was not made available publicly at all – you need to intentionally exploit a software flaw to access it.

Of course, it also matters how you handle it. If you do enough to just discover the flaw, try to adhere to the bug bounty program scope (if any), use your own accounts in testing and responsibly disclose any findings as soon as you have a poc then you'll probably be ok.

In this case the author went way beyond just finding the flaws, and then disclosed it publicly in a completely irresponsible way without even trying to contact the company or any of the clients affected by it (some of which will certainly have a security contact that can liaise with the vendor)

You can add all the same type annotations as in Python, but from what I've seen, type-checkers expect Python source text and don't just use standard Python introspection, so you'll need to use `hy2py` first to actually check your program's types.
Of course. That basically divides the market into 3 segments: (1) companies that fully enforce RTO, (2) those that partly enforce RTO ("hybrid"), and (3) those that give you a choice - full WFH or coming to the office when you wish.

Based on what I observe in my niche, (3) have an enormous advantage when it comes to both hiring and maintaining senior talent.

So who manages Pypi? This document seemed vague on that. Maybe that's the problem with Pypi's progress in life.

Most packages on Pypi are complete crap. It's also heavily burdened with domain-specific applications and one-off student projects. They have no standards for what makes a useful package, and no ranking system aside from the number-of-downloads. I think package maintainers should be required to push an update every other year or have their package get dropped. I think frameworks should be separate from applications. I think packages without a lot of downloads should utilize endorsements and code-cleanliness metrics.

AWS must provide ways to reduce the bill of customers.

From experience, if AWS can tell customers what computes/capacity is not fully utilised and can be shutdown, it will help. I am not sure if it does in some form.

Another thing would be customer definable cap on cost.

I did recently this “back to the office” thing. At the same time layoffs were happening. It was super obvious that not complying with new rules will bring first warning, second warning and layoff without any package.

The packages were tailored for greenhorns, as low as possible to be enough for junior engineers to leave quickly. It was obvious again, that the return to the office for older and experienced folks will cause natural attrition and some 5% of expensive people will leave without severance package by quitting like I did. 200 got packages, 300 quit voluntarily. It was one third of workforce in that particular location. I heard it was celebrated as a success in the highest floor.

For big organizations these high performers are not important. Good presenters are what matters. Things are achieved by a mass. Sometimes having few departments to do basically the same development. Because somebody on the top of command chain didn’t align properly. Or higher ups just don’t care.

> Surely this depends on how bad the error is?

Not really. If you cross the road on a bike and you get hit by a car, they will have to pay at least 50% of costs, even if the car didn't speed.

Another example is a car crossing the green light but a cyclist crosses when it's red and gets hit. Again the car has to pay up.

This seems out of this world but with how protected the cylists are on the road from infrastructure, these events happen way less than you think.

Hence why I said I personally don't agree with the New Brandeis Movement argument, and is something that Amazon's lawyers will absolutely bring up.

Some of the more "fundamentalist" members of that movement want de facto single product companies, with little to no consolidation/M&A.

Hypothetically good if you assume small players can compete optimally, but in action this absolutely means significant inefficiencies, at least in the tech industry because all small players inevitabely try to become large players in order to optimize on margins via economies of scale.

Hi this is Roman, the co-founder Andrei mentioned in the post.

I agree with you, a good chunk of these reviews come about through incentivizing people and not all of them are organic in nature. However, many are genuine and even the ones that are from people receiving some sort of credits do contain some very interesting things. But I get your point, would be better if there was no carrot in front of their faces urging them to leave a positive review.

Also we do not take them at face value but instruct the model to distill out the essence of what is mentioned when analyzing the user feedback and formulate a response based on patterns embedded in the findings across multiple reviews.

Curious on what you got as a response from Claude - can you share the prompts with me?

The biggest challenge for this is the risk of cars. Many suburbs don’t have sidewalks, and the sprawl often means a substantial walk. That leads to an arms race of sorts: people who think it’s too dangerous drive, making it more dangerous for everyone else and conditioning everyone to think a distance greater than the walk from the parking lot is an unreasonable level of physical exertion.

Given that cars are a leading cause of death for children past age 5, I can’t completely blame the parents for this, either – poor design is a societal failure and they’re mostly responding to the incentives set up half a century ago.
I'd say that, for people just starting a career who need to develop the illegible/intangible skills, in-person mentoring has no replacement.

But after that, it's a real tradeoff. You can't just expect people to create and publish meeting notes when they catch a senior in the hallway and get an explanation they need, even if it would help others in their situation (or help themselves, in 6 months when they need to do that again and can't quite remember the steps (Unless their mentor modeled this important skill, I guess?)). https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/reitXJgJXFzKpdKyd/beware-tri...
The article refers to original Apple parts, which can be activated as genuine now tru the app and parts from stolen phones get rejected.

> finding colocation space at reasonable price is difficult these days.

The author of the post seems to be living in the bay area. It's easy when the number of nerds per km² is high, disposable income is even higher, and driving a car for 2 hours is considered "next door".

I think for losers like myself, living in the middle of nowhere with low disposable income, the best solution is just to rent out a dedicated Kimsufi box (from OVH), or a server off the Heztner auctions. (Or whatever is the equivalent in North America) It's much much more cost effective than collocating.
I very much agree with the base premise here, but I do think with art (music, movies, books, etc) there can also be value in working to appreciate that which does not immediately reveal itself. Sometimes good art doesn't catch you in the first 10 mins and you need to spend more time with it to fully appreciate it.

That said, there are plenty of times when this advice is absolutely on point. You should never feel guilty or bad for abandoning something you aren't enjoying.

> Hungary's is one of Putin's puppet regimes

I'm Hungarian, I hate Orban [1], but your comment is not accurate. We have a lot of problems in Hungary (see my other comment in the thread), but we're not Putin's puppet regime. A puppet regime would imply that Orban was put in place by Putin and/or is kept in place by Putin, and is purely doing Putin's bidding. I've never heard anybody serious say this, nor have I ever seen any evidence of this. Although rhetorically Orban is definitely pro-Russia, in the end (after wasting everybody's time for a while) he always goes along with EU resolutions against Russia.

Orban doesn't need Putin to stay in power, he has access to all of Hungary's tax income, and effectively also beyond that, due to the 2/3 majority which allows him to rewrite the constitution at will.

Likely reasons Orban is friendly with Putin: (i) access to Russian oil (ii) Hungary's one and only power plant is Russian tech run by Russian techs (iii) Orban's regime is like a soft version of Putin's, so criticizing Putin would in some sense mean critizing himself, it'd be counter-productive for him.

(let ((a 10) (b 20) c)
(declare (type (integer 0 *) a b c))
(setf c (* a b))
c)

Above is a LET expression, a variant of a lambda application.

It does not look like a function call. It looks like an operator list form, with LET as the operator. The next element is not a function call or similar, but a binding list with three variable definitions, two of them having an init value. Next to the binding list is a declaration form, with a type declaration for the local variables. Then a sequence of forms, a body, which is evaluated top down and the last value ist returned. There is a setf form, for setting a variable. The variable in the setf form is not evaluated, it will be set to the value of the second argument.

Neither LET, DECLARE, TYPE, INTEGER, or SETF are functions. They have different syntax and/or semantics from function calls.

Thus we have:

* special control flow

* a LET syntax which is not looking like a function call

* a lexical scope created by LET

* a type declaration with special syntax

* special evaluation rules, unlike evaluation of a function form

A Lisp user will need to learn that IF, WHEN, AND, ... and a lot of other operators are not functions....

I think doing the opposite is better usually, never making changes to the main /etc/ssh/sshd_config and always add your own customizations to /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/; that way you have clear separation of your own and distro configs, which makes life easier especially when upgrading sshd. Although I'll readily admit that I don't myself follow that advise all the time.
