The allegory of the cave is pretty short, read it if you want!

The wild thing about it, and other allegories or poems like frost's "the road not taken" , is that it can mean different things to a person depending on where they are in life because those experiences will lead to different interpretations of the poem.

A key concept in journalism is to focus on the source material as beat you can. Cliff notes are helpful, but one misses Details that they wouldn't have missed if they read the whole thing.

Whether those details Matter depends on what the thing Is.

But yeah, thinking about it this way kinda scares me too, and can lead some people down weird roads where their map can diverge further and further from reality

Not sure how it was able to read this user's repo name but for me, it's optimistically saying "yes they have a repo named X" of whatever I ask it and sometimes I do have that repo and sometimes I don't.

I have a private repo named "portland-things" and I asked "does this user have a repo related to portland?" and it responded with "yes it's called 'pdx'" but that's not correct at all.
What? I really like Win 7 but it is for sure one of the best early examples of a "candy" ui. The close button looks like a jolly rancher and everything is glassy looking. If you are talking about "eye-candy" it also stretches far into that territory with title bar blurs, drop shadows and transparency effects across the OS.

My biggest problem with BEVs is regression in charging (fueling) experience compared to ICE. Unless one is able to charge at home people are forced to use barely functional infrastructure dependent on sketchy applications and then wasting dozens of minutes (best case) to hours at a charger.

Compare it to ICE - fueled in a minute and you can then pay by card or cash. No applications required.

I’d be more cynical still and ask, where is correct information found in the first place? Humans of all shape and size have biases. Most research is faulty, fabricated, or not reproducible. Missing information tells a greater story than existing one.

We don’t have a way of finding objective information, why would we be able to train a model to do so?
Hearing about these esoteric Linux distros and their lore is always interesting.

People want the weirdest things.

The rise of those things you describe matched the decline of my interest in any form of online multiplayer.
There is. It's a hybrid of recording, cooperative state/action validation and community moderation (overwatch, votekicks, VAC bans on external review). Each of these allows you to see if people are doing things they're able to. The rest is just matchmaking.

But this approach takes up server disk space and client CPU time. It's also reactive.

Snooping at hardware is easy. You don't even have to do it game-by-game. That's the reason.

I suppose the memory being mapped twice could be detected by anti-cheat though. You can then also make more mitigations to prevent detection of the mapping (e.g. hooking the syscall to check the active mappings), but it’s always a cat and mouse game.
If batteries can't be sourced from China, there is no competition. If they can be, tariffs to balance out the subsidies.
The idea that those who engage is a "dialectical" fashion of academic style education are more "correct" or "see reality for how it is" compared to others.

I am firmly an Epistemology Anarchist - that is I agree with almost everything Paul feyerband ever wrote. I don't believe that knowledge/truth is influenced by the method for which it is found. Real, reproducible truth is found all the time outside of traditional academic or scientific norms/methods. The medium is firmly not the message and Marshall McLuhan is a quack.

I agree with others that this can be seen as market abuse since it disrupts the essential functioning of our labor markets. After completing my Master's, I've since struggled to find a job, only signing a contract yesterday thanks to my past connections and proven work from before I returned to academia. The current job market in my country has been absolutely brutal. I've applied to hundreds of roles. For many interviews, I traveled to other cities only to learn later that the positions I was being interviewed for were canceled entirely, with no one hired.

But the real issue are these "ghost" job postings where there's no intention to hire anyone at all in the first place. Some companies use them to, I guess, just gather some data and CVs + salary expectations, while others want to appear active and growing to investors, but don’t engage whatsoever when people spend time and apply. This distorts the job market and creates a lot of frustration in applicants. 90% of people I know here and more broadly in Europe have gotten their jobs via connections and people they know. I wouldn’t be surprised if some regulation comes soon, as I doubt I'm the only one impacted by this situation.

Yes, when you don't have access to independent reporting, you miss China building hundreds of landing and invasion vessels, ramming and threatening neighbors over absurd territorial claims, and you could ignorantly conclude there must be "economic reasons" behind the US and China fighting. I'm here to tell you that the economic conflict is merely an immediate and necessary consequence from the realization that when war happens, the US is too reliant on Chinese manufacturing - and so it is being aggressively decoupled.
Ah the ol' satire defense. Even a watered-down version of that isn't reflective of a large majority of the people here, so your statement still doesn't stand. Everywhere else, HN has a reputation for being hyper-critical and dismissive of almost everything. So much so, that this article which is essentially "don't burn plastic" has many, many comments discussing caveats, the single study, and vagueness...

I'm not surprised at all, considering there's been a consistent drive to move past COVID in the name of our poorly designed consumption-based economy and political expediency:

bioinformatician here. nobody has intuition or domain knowledge on all ~20,000 protein coding genes in the human body. That's just not a thing. Routinely comparing what a treatment does we do actually get 20,000 p-values. Feed that into FDR correction, filter for p < 0.01. Now I have maybe 200 genes.Then we can start applying domain knowledge. If you start trying to apply domain knowledge at the beginning, you're actually going to artificially constrict what is biologically possible. Your domain knowledge might say well there's no reason an olfactory gene should be involved in cancer, so I will exclude these (etc etc). You would be instantly wrong. People discovered that macrophages (which play a large role in cancer) can express olfactory receptors. So when I had olfactory receptors coming up in a recent analysis... the p values were onto something and I had to expand my domain knowledge to understand. This is very common. I ask for validation of targets in tissue --> then you see proof borne out that the p-value thresholding business WORKS.
Certainly agree about the bottleneck around DevSecOps. I wonder if this might be useful for the typical "scan everything, patch everything, SBOM for everything" loop that typically lands on DevOps teams and becomes a classic devops tug-of-war situation.

I'll be trying the free-tier to accomplish this on a hobby project at some point soon, will try to provide feedback! Proof of patching, SBOM, compliance stuff is IMO one of the best moats existing companies have against newcomers - developers typically _hate_ security patching work - so there's money in that use-case for sure!

Oh, edit: Congrats on the launch!
This does not match my experience.

By far, the best time I had in online multiplayer was playing Dota (the WC3 map, not the standalone atrocity that exists nowadays).

No ranked whatever. Every game was a blank slate. Nobody really cared, everyone was having fun. People tried weird builds, odd team composition, etc. You sometimes played with nice people and added them to friends.

With ranked matchmaking everybody is pissy if you are not playing optimally, everyone moans and hisses when they lose, etc.
Burning wood in your fireplace is much more certain to harm you than using plastic in your cookware, and the harm is more severe.
Yes, but. I have a 1920s edition of the Nibelungen Saga which uses an intentionally old-timey language; there I find "Wortstreit", obviously in contrast to a proper Streit which would have involved physic force and maybe weapons. But in modern German, as in English, to use "Streit" for an armed conflict or "war" for physicists discussing the nature of things is not appropriate except as a rhetoric measure (downplay or exaggerate). Words change.
I'm going to disagree on this one. It's not based on my personal observation.

I recently read a comment on HN on why this is. The main point of that comment suggested that in a democracy, the government has to convince the public (voters) to hate something before they can justify the action. In China, they don't have do such thing obviously. Therefore, the level of propaganda is not nearly the same.
DJI has had two insight that their Western competitors lacked:

- The market wants cheap and durable high-quality cameras that can fly. Drone/flying-centric features are secondary.

- Software and "AI" features are important but they don't have moat and can be easily copied.

Skydio had more reliable person-tracking feature earlier than DJI but their camera quality has almost always been inferior to DJI.
Typing is already easy enough.
We overload the world with more texts and more code.
We use AI-based summarizers anyway if too long, which is bad. Same for long code reviews, details are then overlooked.
We write hundred pages essays to avoid the effort of slowing down and clarify our thinking.
We neglect thinking and right to the point sentences because it's too easy to type fast and long, we feel the urge to react and to feel productive even if it's not.
The urge to drive fast, to push more code, to write more. And put the pressure on everyone else to follow along with the melody.
I would love more thinking and focused people, more careful too, and more aware people instead of having all of them wanting to type more and faster.
You can still used expired tests. If it shows positive, you have COVID. If it shows negative, you may or may not be positive.
manufacturing jobs aren't moving to China

Note that the default mode will automatically change and commit the code, which I found counter-intuitive. I prefer using the architect mode, where it first tells you what it is going to do, so you can iterate on it before making changes.
> They know how to navigate the rules of their system and the day to day is fine.

You could make the same argument of Soviet Russia and other despotic regimes (like today’s Russia). Does it provide any special insight? The majority of people are not involved in the power system of governments.

Having government be intimately intertwined the way China does makes the economy makes the playing field unfair. China basically locked out a lot of US companies from the market and forced a tech and knowledge transfer instead and the US leaders let that happen. The US is starting to finally try to adjust its markets to reflect that and it’s sticking with free markets for now (módulo stuff like TikTok).

Another issue for China domestically is that the entertaining or economy and politics means that there’s an even strong danger of corruption than even the US with all its problems.

And YT Premium is

[x] modest fee - I could argue that either way (is $14/mo really "modest"?), but let's allow it

[ ] non-tracking - not that I'm aware of

[~] ad-free - partially; right now YT itself won't add more ads, so you're just left with the ads that uploaders embed

[~] non-enshittified - depends what you mean; ex. I believe it does restore the ability to play audio with the screen off, but not downvoting

This is the beautiful dance of UX and Engineering!

A proper pairing means both parties that make trade offs so everyone benefits: the engineering constraints provide healthy check to user needs, forcing the designer to evaluate and either find a novel solution or let it go. Sometimes that remaining 1/4 is worth a huge effort, sometimes it’s not, and sometimes the pushback uncovers a 2/50 solve that still nets the benefit of that final 1/4.
People are - but then they run into the same corruption that has warped general elections [1]. They also run into the issue that primary elections in the US are arranged by the political parties which are also part of the corruption.

The problem is our electoral system is a sham. Not just the mechanics (FPTP aka plurality voting is one of the worst systems) but the concept of "money=speech" which is really "money>speech". The 2 party system actively disenfranchises 30-50% of the electorate. The electoral college narrows the Presidential election to a half-dozen states. Gerrymandering warps whose votes actually matters. The list goes on and on. And most of these problems are present in primaries as well.

Ah, yes, thank you for pointing that out. Sorry OP, I thought you charged for every session like a normal therapist, but you charge for every 4.3 sessions. I’m deleting my comment to avoid false disparagement. This is a much more reasonable price. The imputed annual ‘salary’ is $260,465, which makes sense, given the cost of running a business and the development of the platform.

Here’s a thought: Outsiders can approximate your cash flow by scraping the number of unique therapists and calculating their hours worked by analyzing their availability windows. Something worth thinking about, I suppose.
I think I'm getting an anxiety disorder here seeing as close to 50% of Americans are seemingly OK with Trump, Vance and Elon becoming their new overlords. Seriously.

Yeah it's valid. I have some cognitive limitations that makes it hard to attach meaning to colors so they are mostly distracting for me. So I've gone almost completely in the other way, my theme (based on nano-emacs) uses only one color plus black and grey. It uses typographic distinctions like font weight and style instead.

It feels like the last few years there's been some interest in this as an underexplored channel for information in code editors, so (unfortunately for you and good for me) I'd expect to see even more of it in the future.

Hurmet author here. Your points are excellent. I'll fix the exponent parsing error and create an inline `mod` operator. I should have a fix up later today.

In Hurmet, the `%` character is a percentage operator, not a modulo operator. That's because Hurmet’s main target users are not programmers, but engineers in the physical sciences, that is, civil engineers, mechanical engineers, electrical (power) engineers, etc. Most of them would not recognize `%` as a modulo.
Hey! Will, author here. I appreciate your feedback and we've increased the line-height. Hopefully that's a little more readable. We'll also look into the sibling comment on Lockdown Mode and see if there's a way we can fix that too!

Dawn kinda smells tho, especially when the pan is heated again for the first time. Whatever it pyrolyzes to, I'm not sure I want to smell or eat it. The store brand dishwasher detergent seems to not smell as much but if there's no debris from the food I avoid soap or use it very sparingly.

Good tip with the coarse salt, I'll have to try that sometime.

>I think manufacturing jobs moving to China hurt the middle class in the US, and that's caused a disdain for China

Why is that China's fault? It's the American CEOs and financial consultants who are choosing to move jobs overseas, not Chinese people.
Part of the point of distilling from their models is that I control the model, its availability, and its cost to me. So while this may be a convenient feature, unless I can download the weights it wouldn’t replace my workflow.

This does raise the bar for any future startups though. If your plan was to distill GPT4 outputs and lease the weights to me through a REST API, I probably won’t be interested.
This is rather paranoid and rant-y. (It's the fault of "white voters" for choosing Republican state legislators? I suspect the author thinks the Republicans are the racist ones, too.)

But the scenario painted is frighteningly possible. It doesn't help that the chair of the Freedom Caucus came out and said that, because of hurricane damage making it hard to vote, the state legislature of North Carolina should just declare Trump the winner. (Um, hello? Because something outside our control accidently disenfranchised a small number of people, we should deliberately disenfranchise the entire state? In what world is that a sane response?)

But it's worse. He went on to say that the state legislatures should also do so in New Hampshire, Arizona, Wisconsin, Georgia, and a couple of others that I don't remember. Yeah, because hurricane damage is hindering the vote in Arizona?

He walked back his remarks, which I presume means that he got massive push-back. But the idea is definitely out there, and is being considered and suggested. I hope that it's just a fringe, but I'm a lot less certain that I'd like to be...
