It's super cool when you have to go through a chain of several specialists while dialing in on the problem. Especially when the default diagnosis is typically: "it's probably nothing, wait six weeks and make another appointment if it's still an issue...", lol.
In engineering, someone technical who can detect deception is too valuable to put in the interviewer role. Send them to conferences to “poach”.

Those are wildly different skill sets and/or personality traits.
Like I said, it’s not good, but I was using it to falsify the claim that LLMs can only produce concepts that are in the training set or prompt.

If I were using this for real I’d ask it to iterate, to create a story arc, etc.
Don't we already have that? Is it working?
Before you sign up this is a paid product that doesn’t show you any information about the company unless you pay $15 per month or something. I feel like this is a bit of a dark pattern to not mention charges before getting people to sign up.

So, if you wanted to write something that you would be pretty sure could easily run on machines in 30 years time, what would you use?

I don't think c99 would be a good choice as processors will likely be different in 30 years time. If you had your program on e.g. a usb stick and you manage to load it onto a machine, it'd only be able to run if you had the same architecture. Even nowadays, you'd run into difficulties with arm and x86 differences.

Some kind of bytecode language might seem better (e.g. java), but I have my doubts about backwards compatibility. I wonder if Java code from 20 years ago would just run happily on a new Java version. However, there's also the issue of Java not being installed everywhere.

Speaking of Japanese, I learned from that friend that they don't use 2nd or 3rd person pronouns that much at all, preferring to repeat the person's name. For third person it's strange to my ears, but it was very surprising to hear my name repeated in second person!

Dealing with this at work right now. Digging through thousands of lines of Bash. This script wasn’t written a long time ago, so no clue why they went with Bash.

The script works but it always feels like something is going to break if I look at the code the wrong way.
> but then again I have no idea what "potential breach can't be tied back to the service" is meant to mean.

Easy. Say I subscribe as "username+servicename@gmail.com" everywhere, when I get spam at that email address that service must have been either breached or sold off my data.
I greatly appreciate you taking the time to comment. FWIW, the other feedback I received is that I should charge my normal hourly rate (~$500/hr). ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I tried the stackblitz demo you linked to and I don't get it, why is "this element lets people author terrible user-hostile webpages" an indictment of the element? I mean you can make a user-hostile page with divs too. People won't be prevented from eg closing the tab, right?
If losing your job means you won't be able to make rent this month, i'd consider that paycheque to paycheque. Like that is literally what the phrase is saying.

Whether that is because you simply dont have much money, or you spent it all on something frivilous is immaterial.
I sent this article to someone a few days ago because it was such a weird mix of outright goofy exaggeration of everything to do with guns and other weapons while at the same time ostensibly being about an actual problem with law enforcement. (We were amused by some of the quotes like one from previous commenter.) It's a very strangely written article.

That said, many folks who know things about guns have a tendency to assume that if they wrote wild things about weaponry that don't really make sense, the article overall isn't trustworthy.
That would be a serious single point of failure!
Show HN: An Immutable Alpine Linux NAS with No Rootfs
Given how poor and assumptive your logical reasoning is, the candidate is lucky for not working with you.
I also have a really hard time relating to the the whole financial independence / retire early crowd. I think I'd rather take the chance on growing as much as I can now so that I can be the wise person I want to be when I'm much older. Prioritizing experiences rather than aggressive saving. I figure the worst case is that I'm old living an extremely frugal life in a tiny place in the middle of nowhere Japan (where I currently live) reading books and playing all the games I bought when I was young, happily content with a life fully lived.

I recently went on a very personal international trip that wiped all my savings. I was able to reconnect with my culture and I made two friends who I cherish so much. The kind of friends that I would drop everything to help. I didn't have to go on these trips, I could have kept saving. But I don't regret that experience at all and it changed me immensely.

I understand that it isn't supposed to be accurate, given that it's based on a fictional country 'P' and based on a fictional church 'C', but the parallels are obvious to Polish/Catholic regime.

As someone living in a country where blasphemy lynching are still a part of life, and professors are made to renounce scientific beliefs[1], it feels disturbingly familiar to me.

IIRC that system was widely used in former Communist Bloc countries from the Soviet Union to the GDR, for precisely that reason.
I've used Just at a workplace on a project I didn't start. It seemed slightly simpler than make when putting together task dependencies. But I couldn't figure out what justifies using it over make.
I call AIs "aggressive interns". They're fantastic, very fast, and eager... but often go off the rails or get confused. And as you noted, never learn.

Just the dialog with an AI I find instructive. Sometimes it suggests things I don't know. Often after 1-2-3 mediocre AI solutions I'll code up something that re-uses some AI code but has much better code that I write.

But focusing only on manufacturing is missing half of the picture. China is using for batteries the same playbook they used for PVs. They are spending a lot of money to hire all the top researchers they can in the field.

Truth is they are years ahead of most battery manufacturers in R&D.
That, to some degree, is guaranteed to happen naturally. But why not use a sieve approach and narrow the pool exponentially using a range of tools that goes from automatic and instantaneous at the start to manual and time-intensive interviews at the end? The potential upside for a company is relatively large - with a small amount of work they have the opportunity to get the approximately best 30 people out of 100k graduating students. From the company’s perspective, this isn’t a problem at all, it’s a massive windfall of an opportunity. They can afford to optimize it, and they’re motivated to. As a hiring manager or company founder, I’d love to have this “problem”.

That said, your comment reminds me of a Monte Carlo algorithm I think I’ve heard about. There is a way to have some statistical confidence in getting the top K out of a sample of N without examining all N samples. I’m blanking on what it’s called, and I think it’s related to Reservoir Sampling. I don’t know if I read this or am making it up, but my instinct is that you can get to high levels of confidence after looking at sqrt(N) samples.
I don't disagree with your conclusion. But there are plenty of dystopian movies that show exactly how badly this sort of idea can go.

You could say it's BASIC from details such as "the statements separator is the colon".

Would Russia/China not also suffer quite a bit while the US would hardly notice compared to Europe? It seems not as effective as people think as a way to hurt America? Before long everything would be able to run independently/with large breaks anyway.

This seems like an incredibly useful piece of information to anyone who doesn't have trad employment in the US. I found on Gusto's site info about how you can write off your insurance costs if you meet certain criteria. Is the benefit this, or something else?
There is no later option, actually. No matter how good life would be - people won't have more children. Prosperity in the context of fertility matters only in relative values, not in absolute values. People have a lot of children not when they are wealthy, but when they are wealthier than others, and so it always be minority, no matter how good life are.
"omnibar" is just chrome's slightly pretentious name for the address bar.
Not anymore, post 9/11, congress will pass the yearly defense budget bill which includes sales of excess military hardware to police forces. To get the hardware your police have to meet specific operating requirements.
A federal layer of oversight could help, which one would expect to already exist considering the continual budget inflation for these departments. Maybe because its local money that pays local police departments it only has local oversight. There needs to be a way to audit the actions and expenditures of these organizations yearly. Local police should be from the local community and held accountable by federal internal investigators in a way that randomizes and anonymizes interactions between investigators and the departments to prevent relationships from forming and corrupting the process.
It might just as well be that cops tell exaggerated shit to journalists and they lack the knowledge to know they're being fed shit.

DARE and other anti drug campaigns follow the exact same playbook, just with children on the receiving end - no, smoking 4/20 is not a direct pathway to ending up homeless and with a heroin needle sticking out your arm. Or religious anti-sex campaigns - no, having sex with people will not make you a whore or whatnot.

I expect version 2 to be an AI clone of myself so I don't even have to take the interview.
I'm curious how well this article resonates with people outside a particular bubble (vs. being puzzling if you are inside a different bubble.)

The statement that Anduril sponsoring a NixOS conference was inherently damaging as opposed to the reaction causing the damage, "When did defense work stop being taboo" etc.

I've worked in the US Midwest->SFBay->US West and defense work never seemed particularly taboo in my circles, moreso that the work was boring and constricting.

Traditionally cautious sectors adopting a particular technology seems like a sign that a technology is viewed as having a particular level of dependability. That's a good thing.
In practice, the police can do pretty much anything illegal without the police doing much about it.
I think our perspectives differ slightly, as I really don't care to micromanage adults that know better. Notably, the fixed cost of development is far less of a concern than long-term deployment, support, and maintenance costs.

Probably a ROWE would be a similar modern equivalent...

Some guy out there is working his ass off while she waltzes around on a year long vacation.
I self-host. And then I backup everything to my RAID6 NAS. And then, though irregularly, backup to offline media.

I sometimes read comments on this very forum, that hosting your own email server is risky and requires lots of work. I agree it's not for everyone - you need to have some knowledge of how to run and secure your service on the internet. I self-host since roughly 2011-2012 and cannot say I spent tons of time on it.

It does cost some money though, I pay $5 monthly to run my Nanode (on Linode), and then something around $30 a year to keep my domain.
I have wondered the same. Do they crank out lots of stories fast, and then the editor picks one to publish? Then I could almost understand.

But if they are actually spending some time on each article (which they should) it seems like it wouldn't be hard to actually do their job and talk to -if not an expert- at least a local enthusiast/hobbyist.
Show HN: Exploring the Model Context Protocol with Deno 2 and Playwright
I'll try again... Can you (or anyone) define "thought" in way that is helpful?

Some other intelligent social animals have slightly different brains, and it seems very likely they "think" as well. Do we want to define "thinking" in some relative manner?

Say you pick a definition requiring an isomorphism to thoughts as generated by a human brain. Then, by definition, you can't have thoughts unless you prove the isomorphism. How are you going to do that? Inspection? In theory, some suitable emulation of a brain is needed. You might get close with whole-brain emulation. But how do you know when your emulation is good enough? What level of detail is sufficient?

What kinds of definitions of "thought" remains?

Perhaps something related to consciousness? Where is this kind of definition going to get us? Talking about consciousness is hard.

Anil Seth (and others) talks about consciousness better than most, for what it is worth -- he does it by getting more detailed and specific. See also: integrated information theory.

By writing at some length, I hope to show that using loose sketches of concepts using words such as "thoughts" or "thinking" doesn't advance a substantive conversation. More depth is needed.

Meta: To advance the conversation, it takes time to elaborate and engage. It isn't easy. An easier way out is pressing the down triangle, but that is too often meager and fleeting protection for a brittle ego and/or a fixated level of understanding.
That’s definitely violating the spirit of the rule
The manual lists the reasons why using it over make: https://just.systems/man/en/

I posted an idea for a proven business a few days ago based on an area why my employer has given up on (too "small" for a multi-billion dollar company) and yet customers still seem to like and want[1]. I'm pretty sure this would be worth a few million at least, and I'd even be qualified to do it. Why don't I do it? Because it would be dull as ditchwater and I'd hate every minute of it. There's more to life than that.

The point is that solving dull business problems like that might be lucrative, but not many of us are motivated enough to do them.

It is, but we should still expect news services to do a good job.

The claims about the weapons effects (at least in the context of typical small arms) are on a similar even of magical effectiveness as the Supermicro allegations.

It's painful to see reporting something that is obviously (ethically and legally) wrong (law enforcement should not be trafficing firearms, regardless of your stance on 2A rights or automatic weapons bans), intermixed with factually dubious claims (or at least incredibly misleading claims).
Sure, if *you* did them they might have been fine. One really important thing the interview needs to screen for is the qualifications of the person actually trying to be hired, and not their buddy doing the work instead.

You seem to restate the argument of the submitted research paper in a narrow interpretation that is much different than its main conclusion of Model Collapse from synthetic data creation. But I will follow you down this interpretation.

Why does a human have to judge something as good for it to be functionally useful?

Humans never came up with the move that AlphaZero used to win 1 of the 4 out of 5 games it won. Was that a bad move? Did AlphaZero devolve to Model Collapse because it made that move?
How would individuals use that?

Which part sounds unfamiliar to you?

Modern history through the Cold War sees diplomacy through the lens of "great powers" exercising some "sphere of influence" over vassals, subjects, and partners.

Through the 19th and 20th century, up to WWII, the US worked to define its sphere of influence as all of the Western Hemisphere (Monroe Doctrine) and as much of Pacific rim as they could claw away from declining/decolonizing European powers.

After WWII, as the only great power able to proceed at full stride and with no recovery to muster, they were able to cement the Pacific projection through new relationships with Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, etc

But the landscape changed over the subsequent 80 years, with China's independent modernization and industrialization setting it up as the modern "great power" was due to inherit its legacy from pre-modern history.

And so we arrive at today, where China feels increasingly ready to challenge stale European and US influence over Hong Kong, Taiwan, and South East more generally. The US inevitably needs to respond to those challenges. That's the brewing, long-anticipated, and seemingly inevitable conflict that becomes increasingly hot as the US is stretched thin by internal conflict and Russias's parallel challenges to it in Europe.

In this global conflict, TikTok's continued success is a huge benefit to China and huge vulnerability to the US.

Meanwhile, domestic social media companies actually play the opposite strategic role, giving the US a channel to project its voice into foreign constituencies to influence both allies and enemies. Which we can assume is why China already bans them there.
Sic semper tyrannis
Japanese artistic depictions of America have an interesting way of having an "accent" so to speak but in a manner that doesn't mistranslate but rather adds something unique to it. I'm reminded of a series of illustrations from the 1800s explaining the American revolution for a Japanese audience where all the depictions of the important historical characters look like traditional samurai drawings and they take on a sort of mythological character to them. Its like different enough to appreciate that its different while also familiar enough to understand what its saying.

I'd rather neither. So I don't use either.
You got very lucky. Congrats!

This industry is unfortunately full of very charming, polished, smooth talkers who would ace that interview and then 3 months later it would dawn on you that you made a big mistake. There is this growing breed of "LinkedIn thought leader" types who, during character creation, put all their skill points into Charisma. And they're really good at sounding technical, using the right buzzwords, overwhelming the interviewer with word-salad, subtly steering the conversation towards areas where they have crisp, prepared answers, and so on. They look great, speak eloquently, and have those ivy-leaguer mannerisms that allow them to breeze through these kinds of informal chit chat interviews. Doubly so if that kind of interview is conducted by an exec or someone less-technical. Beware!
> they have a goofy law where there is a list of approved guns (that get there by paying a fee) that, for some reason, police are exempt from

Government always excepts itself from gun control regulation. It's why the NRA failing to support Breonna Taylor was so glaringly transparent - the entire point of the supposed lobbying organization is to defend private gun ownership against the conflicting desires of government. But instead they lined right up behind the government oppressors! Like what exactly do they think destruction of the second amendment looks like if it's not government agents invading your home at night and summarily executing you for exercising your purported right of self defense?
A lot use recruiters to reach out to talent, that is how I got my current job. I applied directly and got ghosted but a month later a 3rd party recruiter reached out to me and I got the same job I applied for.
Lots of other jobs have funnels through referrals and networks, people can make recommendations of past colleagues.

The only way to stop people from blasting resumes is to make it cost them something, for example charge $5 — which goes to charity — to apply for the job.
