That's the exact opposite of what de-growthers believe (though my experience has been that most 'de-growthers' are in fact imaginary straw men since I've only met people decrying them, none truly espousing these beliefs as a strategy).

The beliefs described by the parent are basically the de facto beliefs of everyone who believes the climate crisis can be solved through some form of accelerationism.

I don't think there's even a question that the only proven method of reducing emissions and slowing climate change is to leave fossil fuels in the ground (which is by definition de-growth in practice). But there has never been any remotely serious will for actions of this nature.

"All browsers do this, including Chrome."

Yet Mozilla apparently wants us to believe Firefox is different. If in fact it was a browser designed for users cf. advertisers, it would surely choose a different design. Alas, it chooses essentially the same design geared toward facilitating online advertising.

On the one hand HN commenters defending Mozilla argue Firefox is different, in fact better than Chrome. And yet on the other hand Firefox more or less matches Chrome, "feature" by "feature". HN commenters claiming to have worked for Mozilla in the past have stated this is intentional and makes sense. They are likely correct.

Anyway, I am not a graphical browser user. I use different, text-only software. I see no ads. This works and makes sense for me.

Comparing graphical browsers does not make much sense for me. To me, they all suck. They are more similar than different.

For others who rely on these graphical browsers, comparisons might make more sense.

Computer owners and internet subscribers striving to control their hardware, e.g., trying to prevent unwanted UDP and TCP transmissions. These so-called browser "features" seem to benefit advertisers and advertising corporations more than they benefit computer owners and internet subscribers.
Zero chance. This is what nukes are for. If China or Russia is hitting millitary strategical targets in the continental USA they will be nuked. If they can still hit the USA after that with vision guided weapons then somehow all legs of the triad has failed.

Look, I object to the idea that the host country is responsible for the spread of diseases that are brought by immigrants, which is what you're implying when you blame the spread of diseases on the lack of affordable healthcare. I didn't know this was controversial.
I guess it means in the sound scape as a whole, potentially including multiple instruments. But to keep it to a single piano, e.g. if you play B3 D4 G4, then it won't sound like a B chord (neither minor nor major) because there's no fifth. Instead, you'll hear D5 as an overtone of D4, and G4-D5 will be the lowest fifth that you hear, so it is readily interpreted as G/B. If the third were the most important, then this would have been a Bm, which is pretty clearly isn't unless you add an F# (or there is some other instrument in the mix that provides one).

At least that's how I interpreted him :-)
I enjoy gambling on sports for small sums. I put $500 or so in a book a number of years ago and I've basically stayed even over that time. But I do not think the current climate is healthy, and it's definitely predatory. An signs of sophistication shown by bettors gets you banned or limited real fast, but meanwhile losing players are showered with incentives to keep playing. I would very much be for banning advertising and promotions.

I've seen engineering job postings for sports books and daily fantasy sites, and while I think those problems would be really fun to work on, I don't think I could work at a place so predatory. I already work for a rapacious mega-corp, I'd rather my next job not be even worse.

I worked at Fairchild Sentry DTS in San Jose (at that time very close to the airport) circa 1984-1986 on the series 50 ATE. It was a beast. At the time it could clock & test up to 50MHz (hence the '50'). It was pretty much all ECL which would get very hot. Each unit shipped with a DEC VAX - that was my intro to VMS which had some interesting features like file versioning. I worked as a tech on the production floor building the 50. It was just being introduced and there were so many problems with getting them up and running. The systems had to be calibrated and that was done by changing the lengths of hundreds of delay wires on the backplane (in addition to digital delay-lines in the test head that could be automatically calibrated (over several hours) with the delay values being stored on disk). No two systems were exactly the same because of this (I'm sure this was also an issue with earlier ATE models as well). IIRC the 50 was "introduced" (announced) in '84 shortly before the time I started. I recall that we were way behind in producing them and there was lots of blame flying between production (us) and engineering - as in maybe they designed something that wasn't easily reproducible.

In my next job I moved into an engineering role and I always kept that experience as a technician in the back of my mind: make sure what you're designing can be built with reproducible results.

Well, you're right about that, but then they were your examples.
I bumped into controls mandating security scans, when people running the scans don't need to know anything about the results. One example prevented us from serving public data using Google Web Services because the front-end was still offering 3DES among the offered ciphers. This raised alerts because of the possibility of Sweet32 vulnerability, which is completely impractical to exploit with website scale data sizes and short-lived sessions (and modern browsers generally don't opt to use 3DES). Still, it was a hard 'no', but nobody could explain the risk beyond the risk of non-compliance and the red 'severe' on the report.

We also had scans report GPL licenses in our dependencies, which for us was a total non-issue, but security dug in, not because of legal risk, but compliance with the scans.
Babylon AD comes to mind, which depicted this weird tendency to hold onto past animals.

I’m not inclined to believe his hypothesis, but counterclaim have not been proven true to my knowledge either. If we haven’t proven why humans are uniquely able to communicate complex ideas of past/future for example, I’m much more humble about claiming anything is obvious. The irony is that strong positions in the absence of evidence are making similar errors.

So, if I have a playlist in Spotify to listen to on long hikes, I will find out that I can't play it when I get to the hike (unless I use Spotify all the time, or think about this crap in advance).

Thanks, I understand that I can jump through hoops to make it work.

But an MP3 works 100% of the time, every time, without any of that crap, or thinking; I copy the file to a memory file once, and that's it. No passwords, no accounts, no internet, no logging in.

Many bands I listen to have Bandcamp/SoundCloud accounts, which offer DRM-free audio downloads. I use that when it's an option - and it pays the artists orders of magnitude more than Spotify ever will.

If I have a CD from a local show, I will rip that.

Otherwise, I am not going to make my life more inconvenient for the sake of a major artist getting $0.000002 from my Spotify subscription. I'll pirate their work.

If you look at the evolution of how music and harmony progressed in western music, fifths were seen as consonances, then later thirds. Minor 7ths weren’t much of a thing until like the 1400s. Augmented intervals were still not really even used during the baroque.

You can discount the fundamentalness of thirds, but it’s there.
That seems a little reductionist. We're just exchanging ideas and trying to interpret imprecise terms in-context (ideally in good faith).

We're not really discussing whether LLMs are "thinking" in the sense of the "social category" in the abstract sense - that's just the one word that this discussion got hung up on.

Concretely, we're discussing whether giving LLMs a larger time-budget would yield better results - OP suggested that letting LLMs iteratively refine or enrich an answer might lead to better results. The term "thinking" was used as an analogy or quick crutch to convey an analogy, not 100% equivalence, between a hypothetic LLM output evaluation algo and people's supposed "fast" and "slow" modes of thinking (if they even exist, whatever). Even if people don't have these two modes of thought, as you said they might be post-fact reifications of sociological ideas, the algorithm/idea of iteratively reflecting on and self-refining LLM outputs might still apply to LLMs as LLMs are not actually thinking.

Imo current LLM architecture and/or training data facilitate (mostly?) the automatic non-iterative mode but OpenAI is trying to do more of the iterative, reflective mode with O1 afaict. Imo and currently, there's not much to be gained by iteratively feeding an a current-generation LLM it's own output to iteratively analyze and augment it. At least not in general. Even enriching the input data via RAG doesn't always lead to better results. Imo, there's more fundamental work necessary - and maybe OpenAI is doing that.
I do exactly this, but for the company that I work for.

I'm on the dashboards and integrations team, and I don't have direct access to the codebase of the main product. As the internal APIs have no documentation at all, I'm always "hacking" our own system using the browser inspector to find out how our endpoints work.

I wasn't at all, to be honest. I joined a multidisciplinary team and they were short an Ethernet SME. I said I'd be happy to just in feet first and learn, as I was desperate to get into anything and everything FPGAs at the time, having become bored by the CPU world I resided before. Mostly I learnt everything through building stuff using our User Guides. Everything else was just reading; the Ethernet spec, random Cisco stuff online, Wikipedia, etc. I just searched for any word or acronym I didn't understand, and read up on it (meaning of 64/66b encoding, PCS vs PHY vs MAC, PTP, OTN, FlexE, FEC, ANLT, and so on). Once you get passed the TLAs, it's actually pretty simple (except for PTP - that's the bane or my working life at the moment).
Gambling might be a math problem, and it might be a grift, but it’s definitely not a product.
Prediction markets work via resolution criteria, and resolution is a human action. So the moment you operationalize any question, prediction markets can affect the outcome. To give an extreme example, when employees of the FHA bet on "Florida hurricane with 100+ casualties in 2024", they don't need to invent a weather control device to make that happen.

The data hinted at racism among white doctors. Then scholars looked again
Unpaywalled: https://archive.is/Mwjb4

Key excerpts:

Black babies in America are more than twice as likely to die before their first birthday than white babies. [..] even after controlling for socioeconomic differences a wide mortality gap persists. Yet in 2020 researchers discovered [..] “when Black newborns are cared for by Black physicians, the mortality penalty they suffer, as compared with White infants, is halved.”

Now a new study seems to have debunked the finding, to much less fanfare. A paper by George Borjas and Robert VerBruggen, published last month in PNAS, looked at the same data set from 1.8m births in Florida between 1992 and 2015 and concluded that it was not the doctor’s skin colour that best explained the mortality gap between races, but rather the baby’s birth weight. Although the authors of the original 2020 study had controlled for various factors, they had not included very low birth weight (ie, babies born weighing less than 1,500 grams, who account for about half of infant mortality). Once this was also taken into consideration, there was no measurable difference in outcomes.

The reason why white doctors at first looked like such a “lethal” combination with black babies, say the authors of the recent paper, was that a disproportionately high share of underweight black babies were treated by white doctors, while a disproportionately high share of healthy-weight black babies were treated by black doctors.
I remember when this got posted before.

It's core message is in fact misinformation.

They discovered more preventable maternal deaths by looking at a wider time period. That's important new information.

It's like getting a detailed bug report of a problem you weren't aware of by a new approach like fuzzing and saying "well even though we just learned about this bug we know the bug existed before you filed the issue so I'm not going to do anything about it".

I almost lost a former partner to this disease. Totally changed my life.

One of my first projects at my development consulting job was a site build for an org working on vaccine candidates, which a decade later, unfortunately haven't crossed the finish line.

So with a fairly personal connection with the disease, and the nonzero chance I could one day develop it myself, I have a personal interest in seeing progress in the space.

I saw an IAVI update the other day stating TB research is currently only funded to the tune of 1 billion a year when they need 6. 10.5 million infections a year reported. Remember the countries where the disease have the biggest impact have limited diagnostic abilities outside of cities and politically, these countries are very quick to pretend the problem is solved when the reality is that TB started speeding up again in the covid days because the care programs for patients then was put on pause.

If you wanna change the world and aren't just out for VC cash, go design a mobile X-Ray unit to take into villages, work on an AI model to diagnose from imagery, and work on figuring out how to speed up the testing because a MGIT machine needing power 24/7 is not the type of equipment you can always get in the places the disease impacts.

Figure out how to get those little mycobacteria suckers to divide quicker in agar (my limited biology education tells me mess up the mycoic acid synthesis without killing it?) and then get people a positive result in 3 days instead of 3 weeks. Remember: the very good blood test (quantiferon gold) is banned in the largest country in the world because it comes back positive for the 1/3 of the population latently infected.

Apple has been working in the open on WebGPU. The WebKit source code has their latest WebGPU work in it. What hasn’t been known is their release schedule, but now with 18.2 it’s looking very promising that it will be on by default in that version."

Hi, HN!

I co-founded Rulebase, a startup that helps fintechs and banks identify and block malicious calls from human and AI bad actors. We also create voice phishing simulations to train customer-facing staff.

We're in the current YC batch, and for our product showcase, we cloned Garry Tan's voice and tried phishing our batchmates.

We learned a lot from the experiment—most of all, how much businesses and customers need to be prepared for the present and coming wave of realistic voice clones!
What is SST? "SST is a framework that makes it easy to build modern full-stack applications on your own infrastructure. What makes SST different is that your entire app is defined in code — in a single sst.config.ts file. This includes databases, buckets, queues, Stripe webhooks, or any one of 150+ providers."

The problem here is the argument in favor of extreme freedom of choice is "I do what I want" is not a mature or rational ideology. Other than circular rhetoric around the idea of "freedom" no attempt is even made to justify the public or societal harms that this ideology opens the doors to. Why a simple cost benefit analysis isn't sufficient to plonk a ban in place is something of a mystery if you remove catering to petulant individuals as an objective.

Edit: If you think there's something incorrect with dismissing individuals ability to externalize harms to other blameless individuals I've got a 50 gallon drum of spent motor oil I'd like to externalize on your lawn. Explain why that's problematic.
