I'd agree with that, because refactoring is hard, especially if you don't intimately understand the domain, and I think "effective government" is much less understood than "high quality software" as a whole, so it's extremely hard to refactor government. Additionally, there are more politics involved in gov't refactoring than code refactoring, so even provably good ideas can get shot down. All the same, I endorse "learn more about the problems and get better at refactoring" over "rip things out" virtually always.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they just avoid those difficult cases. The algorithm is biased to be safe over assertive so people will just cut it off on foot and it will sit there.

For example in LA, waymo is geofenced away from some of the hilly neighborhoods where there are narrow switchbacking roads shared with pedestrians due to a lack of sidewalk. It also does not go on freeways.

According to the manufacturers, those forensic devices also don’t work on my iPhone unless it’s unlocked with a password, but this is also irrelevant because they can get the stored passwords from the same phone in any scenario where they can access the passkey.

More to the point, this is also not what the average computer user is worried about. It assumes that they’re targeted by police, have something they need to keep secret, and that those police can compel physical access but scrupulously obey civil rights protections.
We like the moon! Because it is so close to us.

Yes. The original idea was to have some LLM place footnotes references in the text, based on the content of the footnotes themselves, but as I say in the blog post, that failed spectacularly.

Now another idea is to manually put placeholders for footnotes references in the text, and then number them automatically. Before that, I manually enter the number of footnotes on each page, for verification. I have already done this for the first two volumes, it's pretty fast. Having the number of footnotes on a page lets:

- check that the number of footnotes is correct

- (and therefore) also check that footnotes numbers are also correct (from 1 to n, in order)

- also check that the number of footnotes references is also correct (should exactly match the number of footnotes)

- and finally, properly number the placeholders.

Manually inputing numbers in the main text would be very difficult and error-prone, but simply putting placeholders and checking them automatically, should be much faster and safer.
Wait.

“In the two years since passkeys were announced and made available for consumer use, the FIDO Alliance reported a few weeks ago, “passkey awareness has risen by 50%, from 39% familiar in 2022 to 57% in 2024.”

Show HN: I built an AI powered tutor to help people learn faster
Hey everyone!

Like many of you, I have been using AI extensively in my day-to-day work. One area where I find AI particularly valuable is in learning. I believe LLMs can help us humans unlock our true learning potential, which is why I built an initial version of a learning platform powered by foundational AI models.

With this platform, you can learn about any topic, create quizzes, flashcards, and even generate engaging podcasts to enhance your learning experience.

Please let me know what you think and if you have any feedback—I would really appreciate your time!
Yeah it sucks. The police are pretty unaccountable due to their local nature and their unions. When people try to do something about it they go on 'soft strike' and refuse to enforce basic laws in retaliation.

People are impressed if you can name the current moon phase and tell them what it'll be next. But it only takes a mental model of where the sun, earth, and moon orbits are relative to each other.

It's certainly another frontier of exploitation, but we have yet to see any signals of significant demand. Well, maybe Roblox is sort of that signal. But meta's vision seems pretty disconnected from any signal that people want to interact this way.

> Third-party dependencies are a thing. Many pieces of hardware or software contain pieces of other hardware and software from other organizations, and the end vendor may frequently not even have the right themselves to open source them.

That wouldn't be an issue if it was a legal requirement because then they would all be subject to the same rule or be unable to market their software because it doesn't satisfy the requirement.

> Many products are abandoned when businesses fail, in which case, there may be no staff to open-source them.

Which is why they should be open source to begin with. But what excuse does this provide to the companies that still exist?
So you're wildly exaggerating, then.

Both by equating the number "imprisoned" (which suggests an actual conviction and jail term) with the number simply "arrested". The distinction is important, because when I did check a source, it suggested that the vast majority of convictions under existing statutes resulted in fines rather than jail sentences.

And then by conflating the UK's legislation (which, whatever you make of it, is essential non-political, and covers forms of communication that most people would agree are basically "harmful" even though they would be opposed to a ban on them) with the restrictions in Russia, which are of course highly political (as indicated by the article you linked to), and not related to protecting anyone from harm in any meaningful sense.

That is: the UK's idea of harmful speech is that which promotes "terror, hate, fraud, child sexual abuse and assisting or encouraging suicide". Whereas in Russia, per one of your articles, it's stuff like this:

Anastasia Bubeyeva shows a screenshot on her computer of a picture of a toothpaste tube with the words: “Squeeze Russia out of yourself!” For sharing this picture on a social media site with his 12 friends, her husband was sentenced this month to more than two years in prison.

Do you not see a major, categorical distinction here?
> Where the hell were you guys the past three years?

Maybe they were there when you weren't there and they're asking the same question about you? Maybe your aunt never really thought to bring up that so-and-so had come to visit while you were there, so then as far as you know, nobody came to visit? Maybe they called, sure it's not the same as visiting but it's something.

It's true though, as humans we tend to not think about things and other people until they are gone. Don't be angry and upset, if anything, pity them for not having the time that you had.
It certainly feels like an ad.

As a purchaser of hardware, I want full control over the stuff I own, including the right to modify firmware. But I'm also sympathetic to hardware manufacturers, especially in this day and age where information travels so fast.

A hardware company can say your warranty is void if you modify your purchase's firmware. But it can't stop you from flashing back the original firmware, saying it was broken when you received it, and still making a bogus warranty claim. Nor can it stop you from writing a terrible Amazon review about how complicated the product is, when all your complaints are self-inflicted from modified firmware you found online that the company didn't even write.

Companies are responsible for the entire relationship between their products and their customers. So I can see why they want to define hard boundaries around it.
The Moon also plays currently a very special role in my life and my work days are dictated to a large extent by the current Moon phase :)

It's not discussed in the article but we have detailed models (ROLO[0] and LIME[1]) for how much light is reflected from the Moon and can be captured by a telescope. Like this one can radiometrically calibrate a telescope, that is, find a mapping between the digital numbers coming out from the sensor and actual radiance values.

No, there's a distinction if you look again. People don't accidentally type sudo in front of commands, but people do type things into the wrong window, or the wrong tab.
Can't disagree. But, you know, making love can be pretty physically taxing, but people do it, because the process itself is its own reward.

> randomly generated passwords from a password manager

are impossible to enforce. If you present users with password field, a sizable percentage of them will just manually type in the same weak, compromised password that they've used on every other site they've ever created an account on in their life. Passkeys are much harder to misuse. That's where 99% of their value is.

Yes there are also other advantages, like the fact that passkeys use public key cryptography, but those are tiny compared to the human factors improvements.

Actually, I think it makes sense from the point of view of making every vote equal. The Electoral College never made sense to me, unless we are talking about introducing subtle interference into the election process.

Chance of success is practically zero, though.
That's heavily dependent on which country you're in. In France[1] it can go up to 5 years in jail for refusing to provide a password. In the US[2], it seems that passcode are protected since you may be self-incriminating but FaceID, passkeys and fingerprints are not. UK seems to allow police to require you to give your password under their anti-terror laws.

Have you considered googling and checking your assumptions? May help clear up the cynical misunderstandings you appear to have.

If you had, you would’ve read that both Microsoft and Google invest heavily into wind and solar, and that Google is the largest corporate purchaser of renewables in the world. I’m not advocating for these companies, just trying to show that tech is one of the few industries that does actually care and invest into clean energy.

As an auction theorist who's biased towards putting things in auctions and as an operator who's been through the venture investment process several times, I'm biased in wanting a more efficient capital formation process with less adverse selection (better outcomes) for both sides. So, I'm doubly biased, but I appreciate why this hasn't been done and that it could be done.

Classical auctions aren't a good fit because they can't handle non-price factors. However, a combinatorial clock auction could handle non-price factors while also improving price discovery. But as Milgrom says (paraphrased), the best auction is the one people use, so the more realistic outcome is what OP describes: running your own (implicit) auction.

You can be sure. LLMs can predict code and it's based on matching text in existing code. That code is just word tokens. It has no design info and no knowledge of what the code would produce visually, like CSS.

Other GPTs that work on image models can produce a UI based on your design spec, but it's only a picture of the UI (created by predicting pixels). Those systems can't produce the code that would render such a UI.
I don't understand the purpose of this at all then. That sounds like I now need to remember two passwords, one with all the problems passwords always had and a second one that requires my device to be useful. I hardly think two different attack vectors is better than one attack vector security wise, especially if one of the two former vectors is also the single later.

I guess the idea is that it is easier to use. I just setup a PIN for Windows Hello. The PIN requirements were more strict than the password requirements, so that is hardly more convenient. Maybe this is punishment for not wanting to use a fingerprint or face scan which remain optional. For now anyway, it feels like all I did was get my goose half cooked and end up with two passwords whereas before I had one. Even if I did give my face scan or whatever, I still need to use my password to login to things so my original point about two attack vectors seems to still stand.
Yes, it implies that calling attention to things done by women is a trigger for gender discussions. I think trying to make arguments about why they are triggering requires you to make a lot of assumptions about people who aren't yourself.
No, law is code.

It's just that the programming language is mushy-- 400 definitions of the word "set" is the example my AI offers-- and the interpreters vary. In a pinch, the code writers know that nearly anything they write can be rescued by the chief interpreter, which has led to a model of legislatures intentionally writing ambiguous code and top-level courts interpreting with an emphasis on public good.

But, when you go down some arcane rabbit hole that will normally be interpreted by functionaries -- bankruptcy comes to mind-- suddenly everything is prescribed with remarkable precision and it becomes obvious again, law is code.

This is what I think every time I hear about AI watermarking.

This is wonderful!!! Generalizing here but we really do take the moon for granted.

I bought a 'big ass telescope' a few years ago in an effort to bootstrap a hobby that I'd flirted with for decades but never really committed to. It's a Celestron 11" SCT and I really had no idea what I was getting into. When I think of space I think of things that are really small in the night sky, planets, galaxies, nebula...(turns out most of them aren't *that* small and I overshot the targets I had in mind)

I kept trying to photo galaxies and star clusters and all of these exotic things but had a bunch of trouble with tracking with long exposures. Out of frustration I ended up just pointing it at the boring ol' moon to at least get used to the equipment and workflows.

I fell in love with Luna.

The magnification of this scope really allowed me to explore the surface in a way I never had before. I got to know the 'map' and suddenly related to our celestial neighbor in a whole new way. It was also the very first image I was actually not embarrassed to share - https://imgur.com/a/t9b1Uug

I since then improved my knowledge and technical skill but the month of the moon at the end of 2021 was really pretty spectacular for me.

The more popular HN gets the more clickbait-y, attention-seeking and polarising titles and articles we're getting. I also think the more popular it is the less weight each down-vote/flag has, we will see more and more of such content being posted.

I and most of the people I know or work with really don't care whether something is/was made by a man or a woman. IMO that's totally unnecessary part of the title and its some kind of the usual "clickbait" you see in the news titles everywhere.

BTW: I was used to seeing "one-man" being used everywhere regardless whether the person in context was a man or a woman and only today I've discovered that both one-woman and one-person are valid by couple of UK/US dictionaries (even the older ones).
Maybe that's one of the reason why some non-native speakers see this as an clickbait/attention seeking.
