This has been the case for years now, way before the AI craze. We just used to call it machine leaning. The best performing predictive models are black boxes which can’t practically be interpreted by humans the same way you can say a linear regression model that gives easily digestible parameters as output. Boosted trees are a great example of very well performing models that quickly become impossible for humans to understand once they get big enough to be useful.

They're also stealing the name of the community.

I feel like once a software is open sourced the name of that software should also be required to remain open sourced as well, and any closing of the source must come with a requirement of forking the software and changing the name.

It's honestly pretty horrible that a group of people can take centuries of man hours away from the community and tell the community to kick rocks when the software they're stealing would NEVER NEVER NEVER have had the traction it has if it were not OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE TO BEGIN WITH.

There is a rash of thefts going on in broad daylight, and I think people need to start litigating. Its obscene and soulless and doesn't belong as an acceptable thing to do in society.

Here's a different way of thinking about it. There are two things that are both very plausible: One - based on your direct personal experience - is that you are a non-boltzmann-brain-human living a normal life on earth. Two - based on well-accepted science - is that it is MUCH more likely for you to be a boltzmann brain than not.

Great; these two things are seemingly inconsistent. Which means one must be false. But if either of these is false, it's surprising! Because one is based on our direct experience of ourselves, as you have pointed out, and the other is based on well-established science. So what's interesting about Boltzmann brain (and similar) is that it shows that one part of our body of knowledge must be false. And this ought to motivate us to investigate exactly what it is that we have wrong.
I'm with you (just to be clear): the educational system is perfectly fine in the US. The problem is that the educational system in the US is designed to be fine for the subset of kids who come from families that 1) speak English, 2) are educated themselves, 3) hold full time employment.

Whenever these debates about the US education system arise it's important to clarify that when people who complain about the system do so, they're really complaining that the lack of a social safety net is keeping the doors open in public schools for kids whose families (and themselves) don't see value in formal education, can't maintain daily attendance for various reasons, may not have internet access at home, don't have food safety, may have health and developmental issues, and may not even have one parent caring for them.

I don't care whether science shows a differentiation in IQ between racial groups, because that is so much less important than addressing how well a kid will be able to learn when they are being raised in poverty by a single parent without a college education who doesn't speak English natively and may not even be in the country legally. That is the problem.

Here's a bit of feedback:

* Job listings for "Quality Assurance" and "QA" are split into different listings in Job Search.

* I really like the green highlight for Salary range! Personally, I would sort by jobs that list salary first, then by location (or relevance, or whatever).

* The filter was a little confusing to use. I see you talked about it with other users in here. It needs some love, but it's getting there. :)

* If you are going to target job searchers, it would be very helpful too see metrics based on the results. Here's a few examples I came up with

Example 1: I select Help Desk -> Chicago

I see a short-term graph showing whether demand has gone: up, down, or stayed the same - included is a red/green/yellow arrow giving me an idea at a glance. This helps me understand how many Help Desk postings are in Chicago

Example 2: I select Cybersecurity -> I also select Information Security -> NYC

I see a short-term graph showing demand for Cyber vs IS in NYC. This helps me understand if which job has more postings in NYC.

Example 3: I select Python Developer -> Boston & Dallas.

I see a medium-term graph showing demand for each location for Python Developer. This helps me decide whether demand is more consistent in Boston or Dallas.

Example 4: I select Asia & Canada -> Advertising (Under Industry)

I see a long-term graph showing the overall trend for that industry in each of those countries. This helps me track whether jobs are being outsourced, what I should expect in the coming years, and/or which country is the most competitive in that industry.

Hope that helps! Good luck. :)
I for sure assume this is a multi-factorial problem, with COVID impacts being one of many. I understand why people are reluctant to acknowledge and discuss this. It would make repeated COVID infections a terrifying prospect.

Ask HN: How should product managers use LLMs to stand out in the job market?
I'm a Product Manager who can write code, and have also spent almost 10 years in a sales role. Current LLMs are a huge productivity uplift for me in the minimal time I get to make prototypes.

However, product managers who can design and or write code...seems like table stakes these days. Is there a precedent for how product managers can use these LLMs and supporting tools to differentiate in a seemingly tough job market?

I suspect that one way to differentiate is to establish expertise in new and developing areas (e.g. Developer Experience for AI tools/services).

Does ancillary things like publishing content (podcasts/blogs), networking, etc. help differentiate in the market?

These are private schools right? Sure, I agree. The well-off private schools and the select few public schools in rich areas are exemplary.

Private schools are not the norm though, and public schools like that are even rarer.

> How does AI attend meetings, ask questions of local officials or bodies, provide in-person reports and original fact based copy?

Is that a thing with local journalism now? Actual journalists still doing stuff like that? Lets not pretend that a lot of good writing or journalism is involved with local news papers. It's not a particularly hard job for an LLM to do better.

In any case to answer your questions:

- yes you can let an AI listen in on meetings and conversations and they'll do a decent enough job of transcribing what was said and summarizing key points.

- you can also use them to prepare for interviews, get some background information on people, companies, etc. and prepare some questions. Perplexity is great for background research like that.

- and if you provide all of that as context, it will do a half decent job of writing an article. You might want to do some prompt engineering to tune style and content and maybe fact check a thing or two. For best results, maybe use one model to generate and another to fact check.

You are probably already reading a lot of stuff that is AI generated; or at least AI assisted without realizing it. It's not always that obvious. The future is last year. Already happened. What you are seeing is the more obvious/lazy stuff. Which is of course a thing because good enough is good enough and the benchmark for that is very low with most media corporations. And being factual isn't necessary something they value either.
I don't think that's necessary.

You can do a backtest for any point in the past, as long as you only use the data that was available until 15 days before the day being predicted.
Public discourse has made this point time and time again. Maybe he felt it didn't bear repeating? Or maybe the point was made via his actions.
> Most importantly - is this legal?

If legality is determined based on what's beneficial to the rich and powerful, then this is equivalent to saying "most importantly, does it benefit the rich and powerful?" which is, of course, the point of the person you're arguing with. So this is not the gotcha you think it is.

> vigilante justice is not needed.

This does not feel like a good faith argument. This is the exact same "but do they really need to protest about it?" argument made by everyone who wants to see the status quo preserved. You're saying that the status quo is intrinsically good and everything must be done within the legal system as it's set up. That gives no redress to the people for whom the legal system has been specifically designed to fuck over. Your argument completely falls apart if the legal system is not 100% foolproof, and I simply don't believe anyone could argue in good faith that it is foolproof.

I do not want to see vigilante justice. But I also recognize that if the legal system is not producing justice, people will find ways to bring about their own version of justice. This is a predictable consequence of a system that has been specifically designed to never hold anyone in power accountable for anything. The way to stop vigilante justice is to improve the legal system so that people do not feel that it is necessary.
I think that might have been their point. People moving work to AI so they can "relax" by working on more complicated technical matters (or more AI) are the businessmen, and the meteorologists just chilling out predicting the weather as best as they can with science are the fishermen.

I feel like this isn't really a software question about ngrok vs Docker vs any other proxy / network app, but a question of your business's underlying network architecture decisions made by the business. Presumably some things are on the LAN and not online on purpose...? Or are these just a bunch of legacy systems that just haven't made it online yet?

In other words, is IT just concerned about you opening up your LAN to external incoming traffic, or is there some underlying data security concern too?

If it's just that IT doesn't want you to be running servers, can you make the webhooks point the other way instead (outgoing from your LAN to the public internet, not the other way around). If you can't do that, you can still write messages to an external queue and have your LAN poll it every few seconds, maybe? Or if your IT allows this (doubtful but maybe worth asking) you can maybe establish a long-lived tunnel via SSH or a Cloudflare Tunnel, etc., that establishes a single connection to a single outside server (which then receives all the public traffic). That is somewhat safer than opening up a port to public traffic directly.

But when you say "highly secure", that makes me wonder if some of this data was never meant to leave the LAN (like are there compliance & privacy issues to consider?). You might want to double-check that with them before making any sort of public-interfacing integration, because you'd be risking a lot more than a complaint from IT if you inadvertently exposed all this private stuff to the internet.

Otherwise, for webhook testing, can't you just point the payload at some local proxy or recipient? Postman's is pretty easy to use: https://learning.postman.com/docs/sending-requests/capturing... and there are others. You don't actually have to send the webhook outside the LAN just for development.
WN.

Those letters mean: "Welsh not". Back in the day, Welsh children would be punished for speaking Welsh (instead of English) and made to wear a wooden board with WN on it around their neck. The board would be passed on through the day to the final transgressor who would receive a thrashing or similar punishment. Generally all of them would get a thrashing anyway - it was good for them!

Edit: Not, not no ie WN: "Welsh not". Small but important difference.
> First, where is the evidence for all of that?

Sorry, what do you mean by “evidence”? I clearly said that I am talking about PISA results, and described what these look like. You can look these up yourself if you are curious about more details.

> Second, other than racism, I don't see why we would distinguish between the 'race' of the Americans.

For better or worse, this opinion is not shared by the mainstream American culture and policy-making circles. We take great efforts to distinguish between these groups in the context of educational outcomes. It is not surprising, because these different groups very much exist in very objective sense, and quite objectively have different educational outcomes, which makes it useful to distinguish between them for the purposes like the original question, which was whether the educational quality went down recently. My original point that in order to answer this question, you have to distinguish between these groups so that you don’t fall victim to composition fallacy, is largely orthogonal to any discussion about the causes of these disparities, because it still stands regardless of whether the causes are 100% biological or 100% cultural or 100% result of systemic discrimination or whatever.

> Unless you make the racist claim that math skills biologically depend on race, there is no reason to compare some Americans with people in Africa because they have similar skin color - it's absurd.

You are creating a really weird straw man, because I don’t think that even extreme KKK-style racists have much of an issue with skin color per se. Who are you arguing against here? I am extremely confused.

> I don't believe that you are unaware of the hate and discrimination against immigrants and minorities, justified by these same and similar arguments.

Ah, here comes smears and innuendos that by open discussion of clear, objective facts that are relevant to policy making, I’m causing some kind of nebulous harm to some unnamed people via some proxies. Just stop it, I don’t care, and nobody cares anymore either.

In this case the code being optimised is in the framework, so it may be in the hotspot of some programs, but most aren't. The decision being made here is that faster is always better, but I wonder if that's the case. Is that 100 (say) instructions going to push other code or data out of L1?
Yeah K12 and higher ed are vastly vastly different. There's also many reasons for many foreign students at US universities that are unrelated to academics:

- we have the best universities in the world, and lots of them

- our universities are accessible because English is the most taught/spoken language in the world

- foreign student population is coming from a pool of 7.7bb people, whereas domestic is only 0.3bb, a 25x differential.

- foreign students pay full tuition, which can be several times that of in-state tuition at state schools, so universities seek out foreign students to pay the bills

I use inulin fiber sweetened with stevia and monk fruit [1], which measures 1:1 for sugar with equivalent sweetness, and the results are excellent.

I know what you mean, though. Years ago I used to just use liquid stevia, and texture was never quite the same.

More to the parent comment's point, there's a big difference between ice cream and something like hard candy or soda. Calories being equal, ice cream (even with full sugar) is going to be much better for you due to the proportionally higher fat and lower sugar content. A friend of mine once lost a lot of weight by going on an "ice cream diet", which wasn't quite keto but I imagine likely a bit closer to it than a standard American diet.
