You're implying that someone who didn't fight is presumably guilty, which is a perverse argument given the immense cost and general toll a legal defense can impose on a person.

> If everyone that remotely had the resources to fight charges actually fought them, this whole system would collapse on itself.

Yes, that is precisely why the system is stacked against the average person being able to fight the State on criminal charges, and it is very out of touch to imply that anyone that the State has convicted presumably deserved it for not putting up an effective defense.

The system is working as intended on you and I hope you never find yourself on the wrong end of a criminal prosecution.

A nit - it's not UTF-8 or "multibyte" characters that's the main problem. The UTF-8 issue can be trivially resolved by decoding it into unicode code points. As long as you're fine with the truncated length not always corresponding to what you'd expect for Latin based alphabets it should be fine. (FWIW, if you are concerned with the displayed length, you'd need a font and a text layout engine to calculate the display length of displayed text)

The main issue with naïve truncation is that not every code point is a character (and I guess not every character is a glyph?). If you truncate the Unicode code point array at some unfortunate places like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideographic_Description_Charac... , you'd just get gibberish or potentially very unintended results. (especially if you joined the truncated string with some other string)
I was in GATE in a California school district in the 90’s. In our town of 100k people, 30 of us were put in a GATE classroom for grades 3-6.

The best part about the program was being around other precocious peers. I think many of us would have been described as misfits - clever enough to sit at the adults table but clearly not a fit there.

30 years later, I have deeper relationships with those 30 people than my high school or college friends.
Unrelated but I'd love to hear the story behind your user name.
For sure, I was just using phpbb as an inaccurate shorthand for that general style and size of board, because they were the last group of boards around that size that were very popular.
> It's ultimately form over function in this case

Doesn't "form over function" mean the opposite of your usage?

Form = appearance

Function = usefulness
But Google came years late. I used multiple search engines before Google finally emerged as a winner. altavista, excite, hotbot and others; there was a huge hype around the Lycos IPO and then alltheweb was a thing for a time and then Google won.

So being first does not necessarily mean winning.

And Twitter had strong network effects.
> It's been a long time since "quality" and "success" have been decoupled.

I think so, too.

I guess quality was a property of interest in the old days, because the path e.g. for commercial music was: Maximize profit -> Maximize sales -> Maximize what the target audience likes -> Maximize quality.

For TikTok etc. they bypass the market sales stuff and replace it by an 'algorithm', that optimizes for retention, which is tightly coupled to ad revenue. I imagine the algorithm as a function of many arguments.

Just relying on quality is an inefficient approximation in contrast to that.
> "recall" is a legal term, it means the vehicle is not road-legal and requires immediate action

No it doesn't. Sometimes it does, but certainly not always.

I drive a Ford Everest (SUV version of the Ranger). It has an open recall at the moment for a software issue where if you obstruct the power windows while they're closing, they may not detect the obstruction and stop automatically.

I can continue to drive the vehicle, I just need to get the issue rectified when I next get it serviced.

Ask HN: Does it make sense to use OpenSearch/Elasticsearch as main DB?
Team at a place I work at picked OpenSearch as a primary (and only) database for the product (collaborative CRUD). It feels wrong to me, as I’ve seen issues around data loss, consistency problems, performance issues in the articles/tests in the past [0]. But there’s not much info about the recent versions of ElasticSearch/OpenSearch as a main DB, so I decided to ask here - does anyone have experience using ES/OS as a primary datastore (at scale) or has some useful references or suggestions for evaluating such decision? Thanks!

> This to me is the most damning evidence against the current classification of 'ultra-processed foods' being absolutely, totally worthless.

It's quite funny that even 15 years after labeling UPF as such there's still a struggle to "officially" mark it as unhealthy and I don't understand why it should be challenged. I would think that most children growing up are being told that candy, fries and Gatorade aren't healthy foods. Most people I know consider E-numbers as dodgy ingredients.

As mentioned in the article there are statistics that under the UPF classifications people are way more unhealthy both physically and even mentally. Shouldn't that be enough? Now a new study is needed to benchmark UPF that is low in fat, sugar and salt. Basically against a product class that hardly exists. I mean nobody eats like that. Most people put extra salt on their food, the Mediterranean diet somewhat the gold standard in good yet healthy food contains tons of fat and various cuisines from the region have rather sugary desserts.

I'd be fine classifying UPF as unhealthy and calling it a day. If food businesses want to explore "healthy" UPFs they should probably do so and take the burden to re-classify it as healthy. This seems like a quite Kafka-esque endeavor.

Probably a subtle push to sell the cloud-hosted Enterprise version. I bet the on-prem Enterprise will slowly stop getting all the latest-and-greatest features.

I wouldn't even go that far. A slice of birthday cake won't kill someone.

There's an interesting parallel between the subjective nature of LLMs (being blackboxes of nondeterministic output) and brands. The whole point of investing in brands is to create a moat.

Facebook definitely has some kind of chat monitoring and real-time censorship in place.

It's also about basic respect and manners.

That's just not something that you do. It says a lot that people accept this sort of behavior here. I for one will never stop calling it out when I see it.

You are describing the current state of AI as if it were a stable point.

AI today is far ahead of two years ago. Every year for many years before that, deep learning models broke benchmark after benchmark before that breakout.

There is no indication of any slow down. The complete reverse - we are seeing dramatic acceleration of an already fast moving field.

Both research and resources are pouring into major improvements in multi-modal learning and learning via other means than human data. Such as reinforcement learning, competitive learning, interacting with systems they need to understand via simulated environments and directly.
I was curious and so I looked.

It's not in the food industry's interest to harm us beyond pursing profit margin, but it is in the health and pharmaceutical industry's interest to harm us — treatable chronic disease is recurring revenue. The more chronic disease, the more revenue. Pharma companies are making fistfuls of money from GLP1 agonists.

This incentive to harm is translated into the food system when captured groups like the American Diabetes Association and the American Heart Association help write dietary guidelines (for school systems for example) that look good optically but actually create disease and future recurring revenue for the health industrial complex. Groups like the ADA and AHA are also captured by major funding from the food industry, so that cheap high margin food products fit into their dietary guidelines.

The incentives are synergistic and exactly aligned to push food products with a veneer of health that cause long term disease.
Its expensive to build rockets. Most rocket startups require at least 100 million $ to get a rocket into orbit. But a rocket into orbit is a far cry from an anti sat weapon. That technology is gone run you another 10-20 million $.

And then that kills 1 sat. SpaceX has many 1000s of sats.

So a small rocket like Electron cost around 8+ million $, lets say 6 million $ in cost. Plus lets say 1 million for the anti sat.

So you need to invest a couple 100 million $ into the development and produce many rockets. So you can calculate 7 million times * 6000, that gone be around 42 billion $.

Of course you would need to launch them from somewhere without a government that can stop you. Taking out vital infrastructure used by the US military tends to make people a bit angry. And neither China, Russia or Europe will want you anywhere close to them. This is likely gone make this much more expensive. Maybe you can make a deal with the Taliban? But they likely don't want that heat either.

So this is just a pure fantasy scenario.

> Maybe starting a cascading effect?

That's not gone happen. Far to low in orbit. As soon as they don't have propulsion they will drop lower. Until then the others can slightly raise their orbit.

There is not even a single nation state who has the capability to take out Starlink.

And no amount of people who burn down 5G towers could ever pull this off.
I think it's quite easy for AI to surpass the median podcast. The bar is fairly low there.

I guess that matches the state of AI in general, better than a novice; worse than an expert.

We will have to wait and see what future AIs deliver. Insight and nuance is what I look for in media like that, that's a much harder nut to crack.
Agree that the foundation LLM business model is challenging, but I’m not very convinced by these particular arguments.

Yes, Nvidia GPUs are currently expensive. But they will soon be under tremendous competitive pressure from AMD, and more importantly Moore’s law is relentless (both in terms of model size capacity and performance per dollar). The price evolution of miniaturized transistors is basically the opposite of the airplane example.

Second, barriers to entry will keep increasing. Frontier models require stacking many new research and engineering insights. Of course the extent of secrets is currently limited because they only stopped publishing breakthroughs a couple years ago. Obviously that’s going to look very different 5 years from now.

On the other hand, competition between the leading frontier model companies is increasingly fierce (Google and Facebook have been slow to ramp up but theoretically should pose a big threat, and I am suddenly seeing Gemini topping leaderboards in the last few weeks), the moat is indeed questionable and the price of talent is very high. So it’s by no means an easy place to build a profitable business. But it’s at least possible for one or multiple of these firms to achieve process complexity that is extremely hard to replicate, and in the asymptote I really don’t think GPU costs will be a material threat to the business model.
I took this to mean that critiquing appearance is itself form over function.
> It is not a chore, it is our job. This is what we do.

I'm not sure how to meaningfully distinguish the two here. I'm saying it takes extra effort, not denying that it's my job. It's non-trivial, that's all I'm trying to say.

> How do you fix a production bug without breaking something else? You write tests so that you know your code works.

Of course, you're right. Sometimes writing the tests can be harder than writing the code, though.
Even though I'm a scientist and thoroughly trained in statistics, the idea that we can to sequester 36 people and monitor diet 24/7 and made general conclusions doesn't sound completely right to me. Partly in the technical sense and partly in the "why do the folks working on human health get away with sample sizes that would be laughed about in any other field?"
Very interesting read, Thanks!

If I'm reading that article correctly, the criticism to Gödel is the same criticism I had for Leibniz:

> Many philosophers have called the axioms into question.
Exactly. One of my coworkers prefers Gemini to overcome the blank page hurdle, and he happily describe it as "the ChatGPT from Google". What does that mean for ChatGPT as a business? Nothing. Google would like people to use Gemini, but at least they retain this user and can target him with better ads, their real business. ChatGPT is just a layman synonym for LLM.
98% of criminal defendants are actually guilty, and are just seeking the best deal possible. Prosecutors are strongly disincentivized to prosecute cases without evidence because they get demoted or fired if their win ratio (including pleas) drops below 90%.

Public defenders don't advise their clients to take pleas in the absence of any evidence tying them to the crime, as claimed in the OP.

if nothing else, the 6-7 figure cost of defending oneself in court is incentive enough to take a plea.

This is false, unless you're convicted of murder and you choose the most expensive lawyers, and you proceed to trial, meaning that there was sufficient actual evidence of guilt that a prosecutor would risk their record and that a judge would commit the time and resources of his court to have a trial. Pre-trial costs for non-violent felonies are in the 4-low 5 figures. Violent felonies top out in the mid-5 figures. You don't see 6 figure costs outside of murder cases, and 7 figure costs all involve extremely wealthy defendants.

The financial cost of pleading guilty is 10x-100x the cost of defending oneself in court. If, as the OP claimed, his cousin was innocent, no defense attorney (public defender or otherwise) would have recommended he plead guilty, because based on what the OP said, there was insufficient evidence for the case to even make it to the preliminary hearing. In many states, the law enforcement agency at issue would have also paid his attorneys' fees.

I think you are looking at the wrong metric here.

It’s not about “how many successful people out there didn’t go to the Ivy League”, it’s about “how likely is it that _my kid_ will be successful?”. And the Ivy League really has a major impact on the latter metric. (I mean successful in the classic boring way here - completely agree that this is a very debatable goal, but that’s not my point)
Hmm, does Google not use the Claude or ChatGPT API for it? I still don't hear of people chatting with Gemini nearly as often as with the other two.

> love and free time

I think that kids who got those tend not to realize both how important and how non-universal these are.

I grew up the child of an elementary school teacher and a househusband (formerly a nuclear chemist), and didn't have a whole lot of money but did have a whole lot of curiosity. Taught myself to program and a whole bunch of other things. For most of my teens and twenties I was very much like "Anyone can do what I did - all it took was a public library card, Internet access, and a lot of time spent reading and tinkering."

But then as I grew up I met lots of other people who were gifted too, sometimes very much so, sometimes with a lot more financial resources than my family had. But they lacked the "love, attention, and free time" part. What'd happen is that their brain wouldn't let them focus on anything long enough to really master it or apply it effectively. They'd be off chasing the void that the lack of love left in them, often in extremely self-destructive ways. Many of them are dead now.

We all need the "love and attention" part, but it functions at such a subconscious level that people who have it just assume that everybody else does too, while those who don't keep seeking it, oftentimes in ways that won't build anything durable for themselves, to the detriment of everything else in their life.
