Frankly, the mission of "safe AGI" is better served by guaranteed wide distribution of the technology -- not only to MSFT but on fair commercial terms to all comers. I'm less worried about AGI being a bad thing, and more worried about AGI being monopolized by a powerful few.
I joined a new team as a manager and after 3 years was kindly asked to step down and become an IC. While there are many external factors to blame, I decided to do an honest postmortem with myself so I thought about these things a lot.

As a line manager a huge mistake you could make (especially if you’re joining a new team) is not being technical enough.

You may not write code anymore, but you are expected to know the system very thoroughly, otherwise you’ll be perceived as a glorified babysitter.

As a new manager it’s very easy to fall into the trap of not doing any technical work because you’re a big boy now playing in the big boy league, but this will 100% hurt you.

You need to stay on top of everything your reports are doing. Give them their space but always ask hard questions and dig deep.

Frame it like this: if this report were to quit today, are you able to step in and complete their project? I’m not saying it’s something a manager is supposed to do, but that ultimately YOU are directly responsible for your reports’ work so you should be extremely familiar with it.
The problem is they were told which way to vote by the Kremlin's proxies. And in a sneaky way. There's some history there:

>During the Soviet occupation of Romania, the communist-dominated government called for new elections in 1946, which they fraudulently won, with a fabricated 70% majority of the vote.

and then they were stuck with an iffy Russian backed dictatorship until:

>Ceaușescu greatly extended the authority of the Securitate secret police and imposed a severe cult of personality, which led to a dramatic decrease in the dictator's popularity and culminated in his overthrow in the violent Romanian Revolution of December 1989 in which thousands were killed or injured.

After that they probably thought enough with Russia rigging elections and imposing dictators already.
Show HN: I hacked together an app that lets you charge anywhere in the US
Hi HN,

Long time reader, first time poster. The EV charging infrastructure in the US is quite a mess (unlike the EU), where we have very few roaming options and the apps suck to use. Have been spending the past year building a native Swift app which lets you charge with over 7 networks, and it's really easy to use. I've seen a lot of threads on HN on this topic so thought I'd share it here :)

iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/porta-charge/id6449201933

Sorry that it's not on Android yet... I made a web app for the time being, which lets you start a charge from our web app on mobile, but the MapKit JS library from Apple is very meh / slow and in the process of switching it out... https://portacharging.com Any feedback is super appreciated! Thank you
It is compiled in mere milliseconds or sometimes in microseconds. It is really hard to create an efficient ANTLR grammar. Took me 2 years. So please, do not take 5 seconds to look at the readme and sign it off.
I got the impression that when he says "couple of years" he's talking about the low-end of the word couple. The other thing in the article that jumps out is the conclusion where he says that a team that is shipping and happy is enough to be crushing it.

That isn't really enough in my experience. There are 3 questions - is the team happy? Are they shipping? Is what they are shipping valuable? - and I've seen a lot of new managers are so overwhelmed that they forget about number 3 and a fair chunk of people end up unemployed because sooner or later the bean counters figure out that the team isn't actually productive.

This article, overall, doesn't identify achieving excellent outcomes as something he got wrong at first. I suspect either he is a natural manager or it is a mistake that is still being made. Probably the latter based on the other mistakes identified. The journey I've seen usually goes from lost -> controlling external perceptions of success -> oh I need to actually succeed and it isn't what I thought.
My card doesn't even let me include repeating digits in its PIN. I suppose it can make a one-off guess more likely than one in a thousand to correctly guess my PIN.
Cool, I’ll do that 3x per week schedule. Daily I probably would fall behind and then.. quit. lol
Is Philosophy the Next LLM Training Frontier?
But they have been provided with true facts: that the candidate is actually backed by Russia, and that the supposedly "true" facts that they were provided were in fact not true facts.

The election has still been influenced for sure, but it's a false statement to say that voters have no new information.
It's not "dangerous" to expose the truth, even selectively. More information is better, especially when it pertains to things our government is keeping from us.
I think we agree; to clarify, sharp messaging isn't inaccurate messaging. And I believe the story is not overhyped given the evidence: the benchmark resisted a $1M prize pool for ~6 months. But I concede we did obsess about the story to give it the best chance of survival in the marketplace of ideas against the incumbent AI research meme (LLM scaling). Now that the AI research field is coming around to the idea that something beyond deep learning is needed, the story matters less, and the benchmark, and future versions, can stand on their utility as a compass towards AGI.
With low fructose content (less then carrots per 100g), it's not a stupid choice. Naturally, if you don't binge on it, otherwise 2-3 slices daily won't kill you. I mean wholegrain, sourdough bread, to be precise.
Holy shit it’s a real life library of babel!!
Per capita of course. We're talking about living standards here.
That's why there is voting secrecy. You can pay someone 20 euros but they vote someone else.
Now that there are LLMs available, why is this still a problem? You just have to detect the conflicts and show a powerful enough LLM the two versions and tell it to do its best job at merging. This solves exactly the kind of issue described in the post. Oh, bonus point: you don't have to take any metadata.
If you don't think "Modals" are needed that just means you've never needed one yourself.

There are lots of cases where they're almost mandatory. I have an app where some interactions will end up with 4 to 5 layers of stacked modals. Like you edit a node, then you open the sharing dialog to share it, then you need pick a person to share to, then you need to add a new person, then you need to select who to add, etc. Most websites are trivial and thus don't need dialogs at all but there are some which are full featured apps (like mine) where Modals are a critical thing to have.
OP, idk if you'll see this, but the part about GI issues after being on Accutane concerned me a bit. There's some evidence that Accutane can cause short-term symptoms that mimic autoimmune disorders and long-term symptoms that are bona fide autoimmune disorders. If you only feel "normal" while sticking to a restrictive diet, especially in the absence of confirmed celiac disease (which would otherwise explain issues with gluten), you might be suffering from a more serious problem without realizing it.

Signed, someone who only feels "normal" while sticking to a restrictive diet... and therefore is seeing their gastro next week to discuss switching to a different Crohn's treatment :P
> Many commercial health insurers are non-profit. That includes such large organizations as many of the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association licensees, HighMark, EmblemHealth, etc. Their coverage and claim processing policies are pretty similar to the for-profit companies.

This may lend even more weight to them being able to sleep well at night -- their company behaves in a way consistent with notable non-profits, so you can't accuse them of profit mongering.

You cannot stop cancer with diet alone. Full stop. If you could, then starvation would stop cancer before the patient dies. Or a radical diet would cure a patient. It doesn't.

This has been debunked so often, yet people really want to believe that food diet can cure everything!
That was so interesting. Thanks for sharing
And YouTube’s content is far more interesting, useful, and entertaining. Hence why I pay for YouTube and don’t even use the “free” Netflix subscription I have with my cell phone plan.

Not sure what your point is besides YouTube’s offering being far superior both in terms of content and not showing ads when you’re already paying.
As a Zimbo myself, I can attest that there is a lot to learn from just the rock art that is found all over the country. In fact, some rocks have so much detail that they have become places of worship to our spiritual ancestors.

The instruments mentioned in the article are somewhat existent in the current society, albeit with some modifications. I am almost certain this is more of a realization than a discovery. Just like how David Livingstone "discovered" the Victoria Falls.
Yes, but it matters how much it intrudes on your personal life.

Paying social security (and saving for retirement) when you are young, and getting (some) coverage when you are old, is one thing. It's "only" money.

Having your time, availability, emotional capacity, mental health sucked dry by the elderly in your own family is an entirely different thing. Raising small children is an extreme challenge that requires all your resources; young and middle-aged Japanese are entirely reasonable not to start families.

I recommend reading this:

> Rivian's R&D center is in Palo Alto, but their charger map doesn't show a public charger anywhere near there. They have zero chargers of their own in Silicon Valley.

Similarly, Tesla chargers in the New York area were the first to receive Magic Docks because their Energy manufacturing facility is there including the engineering aspects of it.

It might be mildly good for kids on net, I actually don't really have a lot of confidence around that claim - kids are quite good at keeping themselves entertained. I have high confidence around the claim that it is moderately bad for parents, and so my sympathies lie quite strongly with reducing the workload on them.
That was largely true 10 to 20 years ago and is still true in some pockets of society.

The younger have been giving the middle finger to these kind of companies for a while now. Either literally, by proxy, or going elsewhere and/or quit the whole corporate culture altogether and doing "shit" jobs with more flexibility instead (they feel screwed either way, at least they'll do it on their own term)

This 4 days week measure has a realistic chance IMHO, otherwise these gov job will stay the bottom of the barrel in the new generation's perception.
My modus operandi for finding a non-obvious RSS feed is to check the Wayback Machine's list of saved URLs and search for "RSS", "feed", or "XML". That normally will find the feed as long as it exists.
I still do not understand how it can be illegal for them to do this, if they do have the prerogative to cancel an election result. (In the sense that you can disagree with a judge's decision, he might even make an objectively wrong decision, but it does not make him taking that decision illegal, just perhaps wrong.)

I am curious to read more about this in the coming days. I do remember previous scandals related to the CCR and their (often said too close) relationship to the parties in power. But I guess in this case I just don't see why their decision would be illegal, and when compared to the alternatives I don't see why it would be wrong.

To also clarify, despite thinking this might be the correct decision, I actually think politically there is a higher probability now of yielding a worse president, since Ciolacu & Simion will probably end up in the secondary, the latter having chances, instead of Lasconi. Not that I think she's the greatest candidate either, but again... compared to the alternatives...
Wouldn't that qualify a lot of the democratats as right wing since they are pro-censorship?
Well OK sure I get that that would be good for kids

And past a certain point it's not.
Government employees need to work more, not less.
This looks remarkably similar to my post :)

> we can't have democracy without giving up free speech

Social media does NOT equal free speech.

It’s clear by now that giving everyone “equal standing” in the ability to reach millions is a recipe for disaster, manipulation, hysteria, amplification of extremism, mental health decline, and so on… traditional media had social constraints and we need those back.

(note the 4 in the 3rd block)

I'm curious why it's not 99999999-9999-9999-9999-999999999999 (all 9s)?
I took a break after getting laid off from YCR (2017) and joining Google (2020). My wife just had our baby and she was a bit stir crazy, so I thought it better to focus on getting her a job first (so I would take care of the kid instead). We have a bit of redundancy now, which is useful at least (we are ok if either us loses their job, but we would definitely try to both stay working).

What they don't tell you is that employers are suspicious if you are out of the job market for more than a year. And anyways, no, it doesn't make sense to stay at home and raise your kid, just pay for the childcare and get back to work as soon as possible. And they wonder why birthrate is tanking...
And yet, that pattern has worked just fine for decades.
If you can buy presidency with 360k euros or even 1M euros on TinTok likes it reflects how bad the other candidates must be.

Dunno, I didn't flag it. I can't even remember exactly what it said beyond something about the Temple of Solomon.

(I know there's a way to view flagged comments, I never bother to use it).
That's my point. Reddit is completely skewed against Trump, conservatives, the right, whereas TikTok allows this content and it thrives. TikTok was one of the few extremely mainstream platforms where pro trump content was allowed and flourished. I think for this reason Trump will fight the ban
That’s not what was said
That is a big claim though, I am not sure about that from my experience. What am I missing?
Sorry for my passionate language, but I am really frustrated about that. Wanting to show my hard work and being shadow-blocked from the algorithm.
And your insurance works with a mechanic:

How much is this oil change going to cost?

-- Can't tell ya. you have insurance though, right?

I have Geico. The oil change was $25 last year. Let's just do it, you're telling me it's necessary.

-- Great! It'll be done in about 25 minutes.

...

-- That'll be $1895.00, I'll send you the bill. But if you take care of it right here, I'll lower the price to $425.00.

WHAT!? 425 for an oil change? What a RIP! $125 is all you're getting from me.

-- Pleased doing business with you. See you again next year!
I had a lesson in this 25 years ago. I think it was National Semiconductor. They had an early website that was engineering focused and really good for the time. You could do parametric search, compare products, ask questions of their sales engineers, ask for samples. Download datasheets.

One day it was completely replaced by a site extolling the virtues of National Semiconductor stock and the CEO, CFO, and the board. With smiling head shorts and bio's of each. WTF? A few months later the old site reappeared as a link down in the lower right corner.

The lesson. I thought of National Semiconductor as a company that designed and sold mixed signal semiconductors. And the CEO and Board thought of National Semiconductor as a company that sold stock. And they didn't care at all about the people buying semiconductors, they cared about their real customers.

Although those aren’t the only two technologies. I have a wax printer, which has similar behaviour for photo prints. Only… it isn’t quite precise enough to do text very well, and it’s A5. But otherwise it’s great!

I’ll bite although this really feels as unlikely as trying to change the mind of a Russian troll. A few things really sunk your boat there.

First, you started on a wrong foot. He is literally accused of breaking the law by not declaring his assets. This is trivially proven by the fact that… he didn’t declare his assets. In my reasonable person circle that’s called “not playing by the rules”. Very Russian.

Second, at best you can say only “claims can’t be proven true” but you still went one step further to make multiple strong claims you yourself cannot prove (e.g. “because they aren’t true” or “intelligence plot”). “Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence”, or “teapot calling the kettle black”, also good topics for your blog spam.

Third, you denounce people claiming conspiracies to get their way by claiming a conspiracy to get your way, like any “reasonable” person would. Romanian intelligence and constitutional court got together to overturn the people’s will to vote pro-Russia. Perhaps, to use your own words, your claims cannot be proven because they’re not true.

Lastly, going back to the Romanian elections and using very reasonable logic like the very reasonable people we are. Is it often the case that a pro-Russian extremist candidate nobody knows of, who polls close to 0, and basically campaigns only on TikTok, soars ahead in top position in any EU country that was historically and consistently pro-West for a long time? All without any outside interference?
That’s amazing! I’ve got the same IPv6 address on my luggage!
I'm aware of that, thanks.

It's more a note for any apartment dwellers thinking "I see Tesla chargers all over town, I could buy a 2025 Equinox (or whatever) with NACS and swing through the one on next to my office when I need to. If it's a v3 or v4 that's true, if it's an older station it's still only for Teslas.

So if you buy a new EV thinking "I know where the nearest Tesla chargers are" you could be in for some disappointment. Check the map first: https://www.tesla.com/findus?filters=nacs_superchargers

It's a worse problem in some areas than others. For example, all 9 supercharger locations in South Dakota are Tesla Exclusive.
Guess what? Glucose limitation helps protect cancer cells! Gee, so much research on diet, and still no answers, tells me that diet research might not be the path to go down on stopping cancers.

https://www.nature.com/articles/s42255-024-01166-w

>> Most cancer cells rapidly consume glucose, which is severely reduced in the nutrient-scarce tumour microenvironment. In CRISPR-based genetic screens to identify metabolic pathways influenced by glucose restriction, we find that tumour-relevant glucose concentrations (low glucose) protect cancer cells from inhibition of de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis, a pathway that is frequently targeted by chemotherapy.
All right so we just get the Russians to spend some money funding the conservative party of Canada via tiktok and then when they win the election we can say ha ha that’s illegal!
And yet someone wants us to believe this garbage: AI startups are snatching up San Francisco offices, using Zoom fatigue to recruit talent https://www.cnbc.com/2024/12/06/ai-startups-snatch-san-franc...

> unless they're writing life saving software or ... you're forced to use them even if you don't want, the technology they decide to use is entirely their choice

The technology is always (or almost always?) their choice. However, if it is a public sector organisation, it owes it to the public to care about them, to be informed about devices they are using and the conditions they are using them in; and to strive to provide its services in the most accessible way. "How fast does a page load", "how fast does the page perform on users' devices once it's loaded", and "how gracefully it degrades under unfavorable conditions" should be important parts of the conversation.

Businesses in the private sector have fewer responsibilities to the public, and are primarily controlled by market forces; but still, it would probably benefit them to have similar considerations.

You setup a straw man with a loaded fabrication. No, democracy was not sacrificed at all. There will be another vote, with a now far better informed population.

A lot of posters here have a very strange sense of "free speech" as well. The notion of free speech that the US was founded on was freedom from retribution from the government. That's it. It was not that you were free from consequences from fellow citizens that don't like your speech, nor does it imply that there cannot be laws requiring opportunity for political candidates to equally inform the public.

Ironically, the US will no longer have the original notion of free speech come January, and has long had a very broken democratic system where candidates have no notion of equal air time at all.
The problem in the US is healthcare.

In my state the health insurance marketplace only has 'bronze' plans that are in-network only (with mediocre options) and high deductibles, it costs 6-800 for individual and close to 1500-2k for a family.

The United States has rigged the employment market to forever keep you dependent on a corporate employer until retirement. Now these same companies are taking away remote work, forcing people close to expensive and increasingly annoying cities like New York City, where the median one bedroom is one million to buy.

So, for giving your time to a company, your reward is never being able to be fully independent without huge risk. Healthcare is the Company Store Voucher of the modern era.

Has anyone else considered leaving the United States long before retirement age?

True, no one is asked whether or not they would like to be born and then forced into it after disagreeing, but once they are brought into existence they will experience suffering in life, does anyone ever desire such suffering for themselves?

Seems to me that parents should want to minimize that suffering, even if I also disagree with “owing them everything” as parents should also help them to grow into self-sufficient beings. It’s a tough balance to strike and I won’t pretend to be an expert on it, I’m only just getting started myself.
