I so miss the basements of my midwest youth and early adulthood. They were the place for projects. I built so much. My west coast home since 2010 doesn't have a basement, and we've not much interior space for projects (esp when you're talking construction, tools, soldering and such). My spouse is stickler about the inside staying nice, too. The garage is the alternative, but it's so inferior. There's a car there, it's cold, etc. Oh for a basement...
This is the wrong response. It doesn't matter whether you've asked it to summarize or to produce new information, hallucinations are always a question of when, not if. LLMs don't have a "summarize mode", their mode of operation is always the same.

A better response would have been "we run all responses through a second agent who validates that no content was added that wasn't in the original source". To say that you simply don't believe hallucinations apply to you tells me that you haven't spent enough time with this technology to be selling something to safety-critical industries.
I was wondering about current work-arounds. I was also thinking hacker-sponsored OS overrides for various TVs are coming (similar to rootMyTv).

You will find very funny I don't believe in "voting", at least not in a liberal democracy.
Imagine pwning a frontend server or proxy, spawning an http/s server on another port, and being able to intercept all cookies and sessions of all users, even when you couldn't pwn the (fortified) database.

This could have a huge advantage, because if you leave the original service untouched on port 80/443, there is no alert popping up on the defending blueteam side.

This gives me an idea for a project...
Everyone will surely be rushing to be the first one to disseminate this new technology!
Right now? For sure. But in the 50's and 60's there was a growing pan-Arab movement in the Middle East.
I've genuinely never seen "hysteria" from the people talking about the lab leak theory. The closest I've seen is from people who were extremely keen for no one to mention the theory. Not because of some cover-up, but I think just because that was what everyone was telling everyone else to do, hysteria-style.

Now I'm wondering if airspace spreads out horizontally from the coast the same way that shipping rights do.

I'd assume so, but a quick skim-read didn't tell me either way.

If it does, then they'd pick between going through Spanish or Moroccan airspace, because the straights of Gibraltar are narrow enough you can see Africa from Gibraltar.
Exciting! For me would be a nice complement or competition to, say, Komoot.

Constructive feedback: at least on safari, it was not as smooth to navigate as other map apps, and also a bit cumbersome to add waypoints, etc.

A small but important thing - there is a typo in the “activity” spelling.

Hope that helps, and best of luck with it!
Car drivers potentially face consequences in terms of loss of license, and should be carrying insurance if something happens. No equivalence for cyclists and honestly the Netherlands is the least safe I've felt as a pedestrian in regards to hostile cyclists.
And you think "shallow dismissals" deserve to be flagged, and marked dead?

Really?

And the one-sided nature of flagging is also fine with you?

Not to mention I quite disagree with your analysis of things, for example #1 is not offtopic at all, it's a direct reply.

What about this comment (my comment): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42206831 which got flagged as well? Is that also a "shallow dismissal"?
the GPL is irrelevant here and exe’s are less related.

Nope, at least last I saw around 2021, Samsung and LG were moving their commercial displays to include Tizen and WebOS as well.

I don't know about the other supliers though.
Just look at Argentina's overnight transformation. It's literally Musk's playbook. One can argue that most governments and most public institutions and most publicly funded NGOs (which is weird) are stuffed full of inefficiencies and wasteful policies. It's not the people themselves, they are fully capable of producing values (and they want to) if placed in the right spots, it's the architecture and the system that evolved over the decades. When the government is the single biggest employer of the country, it's time for a cleanup.
From what I've read the Strait of Gibraltar is covered by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea which guarantees ships and planes that are just traveling through to get from one area of international waters to another area of international waters the right to do so without interference.
There is a strong but not unanimous consensus that Israel is committing war-crimes and enforcing an apartheid state in the territories it occupies. There is consternation over whether Israel's actions constitute genocide.

That said, I think it's fair to assume that people from the US and other Israel-allied nations are disproportionately represented on Hacker News. So, we should not expect the global consensus to be reflected here.

But I think think this topic both (1) is on topic for HackerNews given Israel's outsized prevalence in the tech industry, (2) has geopolitical implications that I think are worth discussing.

Either way, HackerNews is an outlier in terms of the quality of the discussion, among social media or forums where people will argue both for and against Israel's actions. While I am very much on the "against Israel's actions" side, I do think there is value in this discussion, and so I am happy this topic is here on HackerNews.
I am partial to astropy, eg

I've talked to myself since I was a kid. It helps me think through things.

Nowadays, I record these "self-conversations" into my Day One journal so I can look back on them later. It also makes me look less crazy when I'm doing this while walking outside or something.

That said, I check off several of the boxes that the author outlined in the article: introverted, enjoys spending lots of time alone, sisters but no brothers and rocky relationship with my dad.

I'm glad this is getting attention.
Are you saying just let them figure it out on their own?

I prefer to give my kids opportunities in things they wouldn't otherwise have known about, or had the resources to discover. They can then decide if thats something they want to go deeper on.

This notion of "let kids be kids" minimizes their development needs and exposure to important learning experiences.
Usually when people say that they are talking about genocide. War crimes and crimes against humanity may have some intent requirements but they don't have the double intent that genocide has, which is the part that is super difficult to prove.

To over simplify (also ianal) with genocide you basically have to prove that the only possible rationale for the action was to try and destroy the protected group and that there is no other plausible explanation. With normal war crimes its more just proving the act wasn't done accidentally. [This is a gross oversimplification]

> but we also have a huge catalogue of Israeli politicians explicitly calling for the genocide of Gaza.

I don't think that is relavent here, as genocide is not one of the charges. Additionally, that would probably be more relavent to state responsibility for genocide (what the icj decides) and not personal responsibility (what icc has juridsication over). Even for state responsibility, its a bit iffy how much those statements matter if they aren't said by people who have the power to issue orders to the military (they of course matter a lot if the charge is failing to suppress incitement of genocide). I'm not saying its totally irrelavent, it is probably a bit relavent to the prosecution charge, but largely it matters more what the individuals themselves have said as they are being charged in an individual capacity not as agents of the state.

Basically the ICC and ICJ are different and what you are saying is more applicable to the ICJ case not the ICC case.
maybe the real GPU was the friends we made along the way
No, it only makes it take longer to get the underlying secret.

Timing attacks are already dealing with "noisy" data, task scheduling et al, so they all boil down to some level of statistical analysis on the response times. Adding noise to that slows you down, but the underlying bias on the timings is still there.
A lot of the fluff is all about boosting sales IMO which is where a lot of money for tech comes from. When MBA types (a large chunk of tech's buyers) hear the promises of efficiency, and replacing workers they get all excited very very quickly unless it requires lots of capital to do so - where they might instead look at cheaper labor (think offshore). AI is the ultimate SaaS product to these types, or at least how it it pitched to them it is. These people see tech workers, and IP as just "resources" - they are fungible bodies not qualified professionals. Obviously this creates a lot of technology delivery issues; and dysfunction. Places run by these types (many corporations) see technology as an expensive cost centre and secondary to the main business. I've seen this even in companies where they have to pivot to being a tech business - because of market competition they were forced to invest, but because it was reluctant investment the old culture remains. Engineers and other "builders/do'ers" are usually second class to the "decision makers" in these places. These are the places where engineers keep the place running, sometimes doing a lot of work and absolutely critical, but get paid little and receive little recognition. This is very common position for a software engineer outside the US.

With this kind of thinking often comes being a laggard in technology as you put it - engineers are a "forced necessary cost" because competitors are forcing us to keep up; not because we actually value it.

AI in their minds has vindicated their thinking hence the excitement about it. As a product it is very easy to "sell/fluff" to these kinds of people; it really excites them. They think engineers are now the expendable people they always wanted them to be rather than the people they had to put up with to get what they wanted. They were now justified in being "laggards" - they now have AI to do it cheaper than they would of had to pay an engineer before.

Yes there's a lot wrong with the thinking above, overestimation of current capabilities, etc and real innovative growth leading companies don't think this way. But the decision makers in these companies don't have that perspective. Much of technology trends, corporate hype is around things you can sell to these decision makers who often overpay for the wrong kind of technologies if you sell to them right (think typical RFQ/RFP corporate processes) - AI is an easy sell/dream to these people.
This is just proving 'move spheres closer means more neutrons'. It's something you quickly show someone to explain what you are going to do. The people watching will then get most of the same ideas you are suggesting, and figure out how to design a proper experiment around it.

Presumably the experiment to be done later is about characterizing different cores. They had already done it for this core, and wanted to teach the principles to others.
> very close proximity to the Middle East

Israel is in the Middle East.
That’s unfortunately not how the market works in practice.
It's not the Longshoreman's union fault that truck drivers have zero leverage against their employers in comparison.

If every form of transportation had strong unions, the system could find whatever healthy or natural distribution was actually economically efficient. More stuff would be sent by Train and Boat, both substantially more efficient in most cases, and both industries that suffer in the US from being ignored.

Instead, so much of the US essentially just runs on Employee Coercion Arbitrage and we all suffer for it.

We should be able to shop around transportation choices without exploiting underpaid workers.

Realistically, a carbon tax would actually have the same outcome if you hate unions.
RTO as stealth layoffs, huh?

Recurring psychosis sounds long term to me. That may be what I’m asking about. It might be the nicest way to hint at schizophrenia.
PHP is still definitely a beginner-friendly language that is still very easy to get started with. Setup is as trivial as it always has been, copy a .php file onto a server and you’re good to go. No complicated frameworks or “deployment process” needed if you don’t want them (and most people don’t need them).

The difference between it and Java is you’re not forced into the ClassObjectGetterSetterPropertyHookFactoryBean paradigm with PHP. You can continue to write concise, simple, elegant scripts that read from top to bottom and serve one page and serve it well. You don’t have to use any of these crazy newfangled features - I, for one, will be using none of them, and will be sticking to my if-else blocks and nested for loops that will be easy to read and grok when I (or someone else!) come back to the code two months down the line.

> no one believes that interpretation now

I know of at least one (tenured) person that does, at least to some degree: Felix Fenster at Regensburg University. When I met him years ago, he said taking the Dirac Sea interpretation seriously was what caused him to come up with his own program for a theory of quantum gravity, called Causal Fermion Systems[0]. I haven't looked into his theory in detail but I did find a reference to the Dirac sea[1]:

> In order to obtain a causal fermion system, we first have to choose a Hilbert space. The space of negative-energy solutions of the Dirac equation (i.e. the Dirac sea) turns out to be a good choice. […] As a side remark, it is worth noting that the Dirac sea vacuum is to be seen as an effective model describing a particular minimizing causal fermion system. It is one particular physical system that we can describe as a minimizing causal fermion system. But we should really only think of it as an effective description, in the sense that it describes only the macroscopic structure of spacetime, whereas its microscopic structure on the Planck scale is essentially unknown. […] The idea of the Dirac Sea did, however, play an important role in the conception of the causal fermion systems framework, and most of the existing literature is written with that point of view in mind. A more detailed motivation for why it is a natural starting point can be found here[2].

Genuinely not trying to start a political firestorm, but I'm curious - did these same scientists bring up similar concerns in any previous elections?

I'm a firm believer of absolutely no electronic voting machines. In-person, paper ballots, hand tallied, escorted by armed guards/trusted election officials with audited paper trails. It might cause a bit of a ruckus mentioning it here, but requiring photo ID to verify who you are before you vote should be mandatory as well.

If Israel and the USA can deploy offline-based malware to cause damage to nuclear centrifuges in Iran, what makes people think that US-unfriendly countries (or heck, even the CIA) won't try to do the exact same thing to voting machines to undermine democracy?

I wouldn't even trust open source, since I wouldn't trust election officials to keep software up to date on their voting machines, let alone know how to even update them.
I bought an NVIDIA Shield, but promptly returned it to the store because it will not function without signing into a Google account -- a requirement which was not mentioned on the packaging nor in the printed documents in the box. TBH kinda ultra sick of corporations having unilateral encumbrances on your rights and freedoms to use literally anything technological.
> Moreover, some of those athletes now may be wondering how much risk they unknowingly undertook in their game against the Spartans. They may be asking themselves, "Was I an inch or an angle or a lucky substitution away from being the next Peyton McNabb?" [... and denied] informed consent before assuming the additional risk of squaring off against a male athlete.

Dude... If people can be justifiably afraid for their lives because the volleyball arcing over the net towards them happens to have been launched by a "man" rather than a "woman", then the sport itself is fundamentally unsafe and needs much deeper reform!

So no, that doesn't seem like an honest argument.
I will say that the OpenFOAM C++ library supports dimensions in a more user friendly way than this, with support for both vectors/matrices and for checking units when you take partial derivatives of your quantities.

There is even native support for reading dimensioned values from input files, so your user can specify "speed 12.7 [ft/s]" irrespective of what units you use internally in the code processing that input file. It just gets converted (or throws an error).

See e.g. this, from 4.2.6 onwards: https://doc.cfd.direct/openfoam/user-guide-v12/basic-file-fo...
>> Elon reduced twitter by 80% and it still runs today. (It had some glitches during the transition, obviously)

Both advertisers and users are abandoning Twitter / X in droves [1]. It is failing as a business [2] and has failed at every high profile event that has been hosted recently (e.g. political campaign events) [3].

It does not look like a business that is growing and thriving. It looks like it is on life support and dying.

>> Is there a possibility that all bureaucracies are 80% overstaffed?

There is always room for more efficiency and improvement, but the heavy-handed sledgehammer, top-down approach that Musk took with Twitter is definitely not the best way to do it.

Instead, a bottom-up approach is probably better. Who knows better where the waste is than those who work in the organizations and carry out the processes? Ask them where the waste is and what needs to happen to make it more efficient. Firing a bunch of people and axing whole organizations is likely to break things and cause major systemic problems just like it did with Twitter.

> I (and most people) do not believe this at all.

I understand. But you yourself I believe have mentioned just how strong the IDF is compared to Hamas - it could easily (in terms of force) inflict 100x the damage, at far lower cost to itself.

> I've seen hundreds of images the IDF have taken themselves of war crimes including an entire genre of dressing up in the lingerie of murdered and displaced women.

While this is unprofessional and disgusting behavior, it does not come close to intentionally targeting civilians or not protecting civilians.
Why does the specification specifically mention them, then?

I think that'd be a good approach. There was an idea in that time that everything had to be algorithmic, that hand-ranking or singling out individual sites was a bad idea. Ie: tweak a generic algorithm and then test what it does to top garbage sites, don't just penalize the site directly. I think that's not a bad principle but in practice it didn't seem to work well.

Yeah it's pretty awesome. What do you like the most about it?
If Iran was legitimately interested in having relations with the West then they would allow religious freedom, release political prisoners, introduce free elections, recognize Israel's right to exist, stop sponsoring terrorist organizations, and apologize for holding our diplomats hostage. Since they didn't do any of those basic, simple things then I don't believe for a second that they were "desperately" trying. People who are actually desperate do whatever it takes instead of the bare minimum.

President Bush certainly bungled the situation as well.
The terrible consequences are definitely an implied part of the meme, otherwise it's just someone messing about with some pieces of metal and screwdriver and isn't funny at all.

At the same time, "not agreeing with the EULA" is a valid reason to return a product to the store, as I did. Consumer protection laws would be on your side here, in the jurisdictions I'm aware of (Canada/US)
