What he is saying is the default hypothesis based on our understanding of biology and psychology. If you have variability in genes you'll get variability in characteristics that are connected to them - height, bone structure, mental capacity, etc.

It is on you to prove that there is an arbitrary cut-off when it comes to this variance from which point it doesn't matter in regards to e.g. cognitive and mathematical ability.

> Enough that they could recognize whether a mathematical concept is applied correctly (e.g. if I have a 2% monthly interest, should I multiply it by 12 to get the annual interest? Why, or why not?) and conversely to correctly apply concepts they already understand to new situations, as well as to leverage those concepts to potentially learn new ones that depend on them.

No it doesn't if they do not have the abilities to comprehend it. I think you're living in a bubble of at least average-smart people and don't get that probably millions if not billions of people around the globe (based on average IQs) won't really get that concept.

I've not tried the game, but my initial thought was that the LLM had been used to produce the source code for a game. But it seems from the comments that the LLM is merely acting as a game, which is much less interesting for me personally.

I suppose there's a bit of nuance here. I agree HN tends to be left-wing. I'm just surprised (and again, not very, not anymore) at the degree of anti-Israel rhetoric I see here - it's more alike what I'd expect from more fringe corners of the Internet.

I hope the community is able to moderate itself appropriately, so far I think it's doing a fairly good job.

Can you elaborate on the difference? Are you bringing sentience into it? It kind of sounds like it from "don't act on their own". But reasoning and sentience are wildly different things.

We have a similar problem now where people are sure the word "podcast" refers to some kind of specialized thing that has to be accessed with dedicated software, as opposed to referring to an audio file that you download from the internet.

The existence of the special term has caused a good amount of harm by enabling this confusion.
It's incredible that a term was coined in the 19th Century to describe demonstrable hatred toward Jews, that the term was happily adopted and popularized by people who hated Jews, and now over 150 years later the term itself is pointed to as "proof" of Jewish privilege or conspiracy, perpetuating the cycle of ignorance and hatred under a new guise.

Infrastructure to physically carry the energy away from the power station, aggregate it with other stations’ energy, and transmit it safely to the customers who can use it.

To tie in a major new source of energy, you need to make sure the wires and stuff can handle it, which involves physical construction and planning at a level above an individual operator. The US regulator estimates that 2,500GW of clean energy projects, like this one, are already built and stuck in the backlog of interconnection requests.

I'm trying to assert that neither Netanyahu or Gallant are currently facing charges of genocide. They have not been charged with this crime by the ICC or any other court.

Genocide is a major crime. Whether or not someone is facing charges for it is a big deal. The facts matter.
The charges in question are that of targeting hospitals and hindering aid from reaching Gaza. Netanyahu and Gallant are being charged with the policy of targeting hospitals and hindering aid. The videos we have of people dying are only related to the crime if they show how hospitals or aid convoys were targeted. Of which we have plenty. For example the flour massacre is only one of many instances of aid being targeted which resulted in hundreds of civilians dying. And the fact the the four massacre was not an isolated incident, but followed a pattern of other links in the aid chain being targeted or otherwise prevented from being delivered to civilians is a very good argument for that this is actually a policy, of which Netanyahu and Gallant are guilty.

The charges are not of war crimes, but of crimes against humanity. A war crime is an event which individual soldiers or commanders, or generals are guilty of. Crimes agains humanity is criminal policy which politicians are charged for.
Am I the only one who thinks it's completely justified for leaders of both sides to be wanted for war crimes??

If someone assaults me and I retaliate by injuring their family members then both the assilant and me are both guilty for criminal assault.

That ideal world you're referring to is called Utopia and its spectre has been haunting the world for more than a century.

> This must not be from a private entity

The way it stands this sentence does not make sense. Rephrase it slightly and it makes a lot of sense: this must not be from a single private entity. There should be several, preferably many private entities offering such services.

In a truly ideal world everyone would be able to host a video service because there would be essentially unlimited bandwidth, with several competing indexing services providing discoverability. In a slightly less ideal but more achievable world people would still get to run their own services, discoverability would still be provided through competing indexers and the lack of bandwidth would be solved through some sort peer to peer mechanism. The only way in which the government should be involved is in upholding the law of the land by prosecuting those who break said law. That's it, really.

Is it any data point at all to you that ICC exists and functions in many ways because of the literal Holocaust that happened during WWII? Like the same genocide that also catalyzed Israel's existence? Or is it still important, in your mind, to do our own work investigating the ICC before we think anything?

Im just saying, its important to be skeptical I guess, but all these comments being like "well who are these ICC people anyway?" can't help but be a little (darkly) funny to me. Like is this really the point where everyone just stops pretending to be good guys about this? Its like being a teenager and being angry at your mother for birthing you because she caught you doing something bad.

I think the only backwardness we're going to see is censorship and accusations of "antisemitism" to quiet criticism of Israel. The US House of Representatives literally passed a bill last night equating criticism of Israel with "antisemitism". If people want that word to mean something, the need to start using it for a purpose other than silencing critics.
North Korea is involved in it for the same reason countries send military observers to conflicts.

It hasn't fought a war in decades, and it needs to figure out whether or not any of its shit/doctrines/etc works. It doesn't actually give a rat's ass about Crimea or Ukraine or Russian claims.

It fully relies on friendly logistics to participate in the conflict.
Great answer, and good proper use of the benefits of LLM. Let the LLM do the grunt work and let the expert human be the expert. Best of luck to you!

While fines should be different, but in practice that line is either blurry or non existent depending on the circumstances.

For instance if Apple had to pay a global total of 2 millions of fine every year for their AppStore policy, it would be rolled in as cost of doing business and they'd keep ignoring the rulings for decades. If Amazon only had minor punishment for breaking AppSore rules they'd do it yesterday.

A binding contract is only as strong as its penalties, and in that regard we can see laws a form of contract and vice versa.

Again, HN mods don't do most moderation on site, and see only a very small sampling of comments (<https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...>).

I don't know if they have specific tools to identify potentially problematic posts (P3?), though the flamewar detector and member flags would be obvious proxies. I've often had success in emailing specific issues (e.g., "ideological battle", "personal attacks", etc.)

But the way to address HN guidelines violations is to vote and flag violations yourself, and email mods for egregious cases. Perpetuating flamewars and violations is right out: <https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...>.

If you'll spend a few moments contemplating what it takes to discuss highly controversial topics, political or otherwise, I suspect you'll realise that HN simply isn't equipped for that, and that very few open-access sites are.

(That'd be "none" in my experience, though I really wish it weren't the case. And if anyone cares to suggest what might make this possible or suggest literature on the topic, I'd appreciate it. Jürgen Habermas is the usual susepct though I haven't gone over his work on social discourse as thoroughly as I'd like.)

Edit/addition: HN moderation follows guidelines rather than content (to the extent that these can be distinguished). Which means that mods look to the guidelines for how to moderate, or justify those moderation decisions. The other site characteristic dang's commented on several times is how fragile the entire community is, and that most of the moderation is geared more around maintaining the community rather than bolstering or suppressing specific viewpoints (see: <https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...>). Again, I've concerns with how this tends toward status quo bias, though that doesn't seem to be the principle focus of your own concerns here.

And on analysing post flags, I simply don't have insights into that data, though there are some proxies for this which I'd commented on in the comments search linked earlier. (Mostly: what topics/sites tend to see more/less flame/spiciness tendencies. Sites / topics (or word tokens) / submitters with a high comments-to-votes ratio would tend to be "spicier", and in general, odds are greater that moderator intervention has occurred for those cases. I've not looked into that specifically however.

Inferring patterns in unfamiliar problems.

Take a common word problem in a 5th grade math text book. Now, change as many words as possible; instead of two trains, make it two different animals; change the location to a rarely discussed town; etc. Even better, invent words/names to identify things.

Someone who has done a word problem like that will very likely recognize the logic, even if the setting is completely different.

Word tokenization alone should fail miserably.

The most important part of "podcast" is that phrase you hear so often, "wherever you get your podcasts". It's an open standard, you can pick your app, they can be hosted anywhere. If an audio program is exclusively available on, say, Spotify, it isn't a podcast.

Not at all, commercial television has been a thing for a long time. Government gets involved when deciding who gets to use the limited radio frequency spectrum used to transmit television signals over the ether but it has been possible to offer a wide array of television channels over cable for a long time as well. Government gets involved when deciding who gets to run cables for cable television and tends (or tended) to mandate some specific channels which should be available but those were/are only a small fraction of the available choice.
The idea is the average person would, sure. A mathematically oriented person would fair far better.

Throw all the math problems you want at a LLM for training; it will still fail if you step outside of the familiar.
It seems like submissions that don't get much traction after a day or so don't get counted as duplicates if resubmitted. There were 4 submissions of this article, and until this one turned back up today (second chance pool, this one was originally submitted 3 days ago) only one submission actually had any traction, and that was from yesterday evening.
I disagree, most podcast episodes and ads mention a few popular options plus “or wherever you get your podcasts” and the proprietary gated stuff hasn’t been doing that well!

> Maybe it should be. Go and Rust do not provide implementation inheritance, and I think that's for the best. Few language features have led to so much spaghetti code.

I agree, but there are reasons inheritance becomes problematic. Just throwing the baby is not helpful. Go, Elixir, Rust are all relatively young languages and although they did away with inheritance, they make use of interfaces/protocols/traits, hinting at that idea very much worth preserving. That is, regardless of which language you work with, if you have access to facilities that can make the concept of interface work decently, use them. Older languages (like Ruby, Python, Java) tended to use the inheritance mechanism to accomplish the same.

> If Metz made it clear that this was an example just for the purposes of illustration

She did. Perhaps read the book's introduction. She explains why she wrote a whole book that uses a banal example as a teaching tool to illustrate how SOLID should map to real world OOP. Her painstakingly going through refactoring and providing reasons for each decisions is not, in fact, to teach us to write code that generates a song.

> I don't think this logic should be split over a graph of objects at all [...] However, the stance taken is "this is good code, and you should try to write all your code like this." It's not, though, and you shouldn't.

Fair enough, but these are your very own and very isolated opinions. As an OO skeptic myself, I'll side with others like me, along with the FP enthusiasts, who originally approached this book with reserve, but came out with positive impressions.

Regarding the object graph, whether in Go, Elixir, or Rust, "No Bottle", "One Bottle", "Six Pack", and "Many Bottles" are distinct things and should be represented accordingly. Conflating them is a violation of principles that also apply in those languages. A very common, yet equally banal example that should put the debate to rest about this is the trifecta: Shape.Area(), Square.Area(), and Circle.Area(). Of course, it remains the programmer's prerogative whether they indulge with if/else in their implementation, but it should still be considered the exception rather than the rule.
This is such a weird take. There are countless platforms that do try to lock content creators in. Substack doesn't - you can literally export the list of all email addresses of your subscribers at any time, with a single click of a button. Your content is easy to export too. There's literally nothing forcing you to keep using Substack if it's no longer providing any value to you as a writer.

The article doesn't really refute this, it just casts random aspersions, brings up political extremism, and whatnot. OK, you can dislike Substack for their speech policy, but that's tangential to the claim the article opens with.
Um. I would take the hand-wringing a little more seriously if it were not for the fact that Israeli army is not exactly known for being super adherent to rules of engagement you suggest[1]. Please do note that this is US media saying this, which is already doing what it can to cover for Israel with oh so familiar talking points.

<< To say that to attack them after they do that is to invite prosecution is risable.

Some of us do take issue with indiscriminately bombing a hospital to get one 'bad guy' or even ten 'bad guys'. Maybe it was more excusable when technology was less.. accurate, but it is very hard to argue that point when the country bombing said hospital is able to surgically explode pagers in Lebanon[2]. And Israel can't even take over a small enclave it almost completely cut off from the rest of the world?

That is risable. And all this after massive US support both in blood in treasury.

This doesn't stand up to scrutiny. The 63k "expected" starvations are spread out over a period beginning Nov 24, 2023 [1].

Over that period, something like 30k deaths have been recorded in hospitals and morgues. The 63k starvations claim would suggest that roughly 2/3 of all deaths were due to starvation, but somehow they were only ~0.1% of the cases that hospitals and morgues saw.

So Gazans are something like ~500x more likely to enter a hospital or morgue for wounds (or other ailments) than for starvation? How do you explain that?

Apples to oranges. People sure do refer to their micro-blog as their "Twitter", or their recurring-donation-facilitator as their "Patreon". Valuable information is being exchanged, as the listener now knows what to expect, especially concerning those devilish proprietary extras those sites dare to offer.

Don't get me wrong, building too big of a reliance on third parties is a huge problem, people do get their accounts unfairly frozen, etc, but "big corporation bad" and "kick out political extremists(from my opponent side) with extreme prejudice or you're bad" are like, the stalest takes ever.

I'm confused -- While there's much to be said about walled gardens, the thing he seems to be most critical of seems to be a policy which aligns Substack to the open web he's so fond off i.e. no global platform moderation, and allowing people to curate for themselves?

literally yes! miracles and prayers and signs are really real. even going beyond my own story: 70 members of my family were killed in a pogrom in lithuania and the rest perished in the holocaust. my great grandfather was the only one to escape germany along with his two siblings. they fled south africa when the riots happened in the 70s. today our family has completely repopulated!!!! that is one of the most unlikely thinigs to come out of our scenario but the orthodox side of my family all has 20+ kids each. even the things that seem a little hard to believe are true if you have god on your side. ben gurion said "to be jewish is to believe in miracles". i literally make it my job in life to tell people delusions are not real. Because god granted my prayers I tell literally everyone anything you can imagine and believe in is real.

> when it's known that the US and Israel have veto powers, as an example,

They don't have veto powers of the ICC. Neither are even members.

However if your point is that both are powerful political actors, i think that speaks to a lack of pro-israel bias since they are going ahead with the charges despite the objections (and down right threats) from both countries which are super powerful actors.

> Now Netanyahu has done enough blatantly, what's argued by some to be the most video/photographed-recorded genocide in history,

It should be noted that genocide is not one of the charges. The ICC has juridsiction over genocide, but the ICC prosecuter has not accused israel of genocide thus far.
Actually there is some progress.

For example there is a new higher-performance GC (https://github.com/LuaJIT/LuaJIT/issues/38#issuecomment-1696...) since a year ago (in fact, at least 3 people over the years have taken a stab at writing a new GC!)

And a full port to (certain flavours of) RISC-V was finished a couple months ago and awaiting merge (https://github.com/LuaJIT/LuaJIT/pull/1267), and might be merged separately into the OpenResty fork (https://github.com/openresty/luajit2/pull/236).
