Come on, it was a political rally at which shots rang out and someone behind Trump was killed on the spot by a bullet, with the shooter being killed on the rooftops seconds later by snipers and the Secret Service evacuating a former President whilst he yelled "fight fight fight".

You don't need extensive investigative journalism to work out what happened there, and indeed most other news outlets reported it correctly immediately. It was only the usual suspects who had trouble writing informative headlines. There is no excusing that behavior: they didn't want to report it correctly as an assassination attempt because they have come to exist purely to fight ideological war against the Republicans and everything they say or do is passed through a "does this hurt Trump" filter first. So whilst a man bled out on the stalls they were reporting it as if the cause of the events were a great mystery.

Also notice how totally disinterested they've been in the story of the shooter(s). We can infer a lot about why.
2025 is here, and you know it’s time to shake things up, write down your resolutions and… create a vision board. Or at least a vision. And although you need a change, deep inside, you know you’re not going to do anything about it, mainly because you have no idea where to start…

That’s where the daily mantra, or affirmation, comes into play.
Fwiw his not being arrested is probably something of a technicality at this point. The government tried to serve an arrest warrant on him but it resulted in a stand of between large numbers of police and large numbers of his entourage, some military, and so on. In the end the police backed down and the drama is only escalating.

I've been experimenting with having two editors open. If I'm strictly editing, I live in Helix which is fast and comfortable and distraction free, but when I could use some AI help I save the file in Helix and reload it in Cursor. When that's done, I save it in Cursor and reload it in Helix and carry on.

It's a lot to manage, but I find it better that trying to move my whole workflow into VSCode when really I only want the AI features and then only 30% of the time.
Wayland does not require a GPU and the baseline protocol is just shared memory buffers. The protocol requires file descriptor for said buffers and getting gpu drivers to support mapping gpu memory to file descriptors is what allowed Wayland to become efficient through zero copy and just passing handles from clients to compositors

Again, would love to be proved wrong, but I think physical violence is far and away the majority of crime reported, but the minority (in my own definition) of crimes committed.

As an example, I think RealPage and the rent collusion they were doing clearly is illegal. And, has impacted hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people.. But, you'll see a lot more reporting on a shooting in every newspaper, even though in most cases that would directly impact only a few people.

I won't pay for search either. I just filter the ads out like I do with every website. I also have SearXNG in between. I'm kinda hoping it'll get domain ranking like Kagi though. That would make it perfect (as well as integrating with my home AI which already works to some extent)

I don't really care about the sustainability of business models. And really, Google is not about search. It's an advertising company.
If phone cameras hadn’t changed over the past 10 years, most people would still be happy with the quality of photos taken. Most photos are never printed out or viewed on any device other than their phone. They may be poorly lit, composed badly, and be blurry, but they still serve their primary purpose for most people, which is to relive a memory. That function is the same whether the sensor is 2 or 48 megapixels.

Newer tech of course looks better, and people can definitely tell the difference when comparing them side-by-side. But there’s also an element of the reality distortion field when it comes to convincing people that they need to upgrade from a two year old phone to the latest release just because of the camera upgrades.
But it wasn't, I remember seeing people on Facebook talking about J6 before it happened. It's kind of weird to see the minimization of J6 in real time.

I think this is what truly matters no matter how or even if you're slinging code. I think this is what makes highly effective folks and also cleanly explains why high performers in one team or org can fail to deliver in another company or position.
Ask HN: Would you outsource your prompt engineering? [YC W25]
We're a YC company building LLM guardrails and human-in-the-loop systems. Through this, we have access to inputs, outputs, and human-corrected "golden" answers to LLMs. This data lets us make specific recommendations like "you can reduce human escalations by 20% by replacing prompt X with prompt Y."

Here's what I'm wondering: Prompt engineering and evaluation is time-consuming and often gets deprioritized. Why companies wouldn't outsource it? Think of it as hooking to a telemetry provider with few lines of code that also optimizes your prompts based on real usage data.

I'm considering focusing heavily on this "automated prompt optimization" angle - essentially, "we analyze your production data and continuously improve your prompts." Would you be comfortable letting another company handle this? What concerns would you have?

Looking for honest feedback from teams using LLMs in production.

The local newspaper here recently shut down. They had close to 100 years of archives, went to the dump. They tried to give them to the library, to the local university, to anyone. No takers.
The point is that once you throw a moderately complex problem at it, you’ll typically get something that at least subtly wrong. So now instead of having fun coding, you’re rather debugging hundreds of lines of „someone else’s” code.
I'm surprised the solution ended up having a magic number in it. I realise the initial guess is refined, but in a commercial scenario I see this code aging poorly and misbehaving at some point, after the whizkid who wrote it has left.
Bulgaria and Romania in 2007, Croatia in 2013. Ukraine, Moldova, and (last I knew) Georgia are all trying to get in. Iceland is considering it. Many are even talking about it in the UK, though obviously that won't happen soon.

whats apparent to me is that the people who will be reading this thread when they turn old enough to have a mobile phone or laptop will be like when the internet first came out and watching old people scoff and worry about both valid and invalid future problems.

the younger generation will not care much whether its generated by an AI or not. As long as its good and it hits their niche, they will not and should not care.

the implication and future predictooors dooming is also misplaced. in the sea of generative AI, imperfect, human produced content will end up becoming more valuable.

its like hand drawn anime by real humans vs computer assisted ones that mimic the style. younger generation don't even watch or care for the classics and they don't find the intrusion of computer graphics unholy like the rest of us old timers who appreciate and stopped watching it out of ideological differences. it wasn't the end of anime it actually increased the market size several thousand fold by lowering the barrier and cost of production (at the expense of upsetting the "luddites").

Exact same thing will play out across all consumable content. Even hardware.

> And why has it gotten such interest/points?

* I have seen incredible incompetency in my field. I have no illusions that it is better in other fields (plus personal stories from others about their fields).

* Replication crisis. Generally speaking, it threw a massive shade on a lot of fields.

* Generally speaking, the "trust the science" message during COVID did a massive damage.

* Science news influencers. Dark energy is one of common themes of Sabine Hossenfelder and generally rather negative.

* Dark energy is supposed make up ~70% of everything in universe. Yet basically nothing is know about it. That's a hard sell.

And yes, every point has a massive asterisk/that's a massive simplification/incorrect. That doesn't help overall perception. Perception is everything on social media.

Basically, if there was a theme, it would be "WTF are they doing?" Or if you want a more poetic version "Modern science has been a voyage into the unknown, with a lesson in humility waiting at every stop."

There is something seductive about an idea that instead of using existing stuff, scientists just made something new and shiny and were wrong. Happens in our field every day.

Your comment only reinforces this. This is a peer-reviewed paper in a reputable journal (Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society). Yet you are asserting a significant failures to use correct statistical practices. If you are correct, that is just another notch to the "WTF are they doing?" category.
That was actually just a verbal agreement between two private citizens at that point.

Yet you likely ignore the weaponization of the justice system to take-down/bankrupt political opponents and use govt contracts to essentially bypass 1st amendment rights and use that to try to sway an election. That’s borderline treason in America and hopefully people will go down for that soon.

Theres a reason Trump won the POPULAR VOTE and ALL swing states. The educated left is still in SEVERE denial and are actively ignoring facts. Cognitive dissonance 101.

Having worked at a similarly gargantuan and dysfunctional company, I can tell you exactly how this went down. Someone had this idea for AI profiles. They speced the product and took it to engineering. The engineers had a good laugh at how preposterous it is, but then remembered that they get paid a ton of money to do what they're told, and will get promos and bonuses for launching regardless of the outcome.

It all stems from promo culture -- it doesn't matter what you build, as long as it ships.
> things confusing people a decade ago

I was being confused by blocked UI threads TWO decades ago (AWT or Swing or something), so I'm confused that it was confusing you one decade ago.
To me, this is a social "problem" not a technical one and on the face of it it sounds more like more work than less work for individuals. If that's the case, it is probably dead to everyone who would rather spend their free time away from work than at work.

And if this is not strongly backed by upper management, it is almost certainly dead before arrival.

Of course, you might be upper management (I have no way of telling). Good luck.
After OKC, the FBI turned the eye of sauron upon the militias. Then 9/11 happened, and white guys in the woods were suddenly less scary than non-white guy and the eye of sauron was no longer looking at the white guys in the woods.

> We’re really bad at taking failed attempts seriously.

To that point, Osama bin Laden had multiple attempts attacking the WTC. They realized that it was going to take a lot more than a car bomb to take down those buildings and made improved plans from a car bomb. Which is just some of the data pointed to by those that are unbelieving that a truck bomb was the sole cause of OKC.

As someone who has most definitely been in more shit than most humans on this planet, I can empathize just fine.

As I mentioned in a sibling comment, I think you've confused fear with panic. Fear can be conditioned, panic cannot. You can panic from fear, but it is not a guaranteed thing, and often, that panic is long after the fear is gone (aka PTSD).

Panic is an autonomic response to saving yourself at all costs. It is not something you "learn" or have "conditioned" into you, and if so, definitely not over the course of a few weeks that you have a virus; otherwise we'd all be dead from Covid and go into a panic every time we cough.

Panic is what causes you to drown a person saving you, so that you can breathe. Panic is what causes you to over-correct and steer into a tree. Panic is what causes you to run out of your house, in the middle of winter in pajamas, because there was a spider. Panic has a cause, but it is mindless with the only goal of saving oneself. The action itself is often quite stupid-looking, in hindsight and lack of context.

Most people have never seen a person panic, first-hand. Most people have never panicked. Today's world is largely safe, so it is easy to confuse fear with panic.
The thing is, I code for fun all the time, and don't enjoy coding for work often.

Kind of an ironic comment coming from an anonymous burner account.
You know that's not what's happening. The EU is withholding money because those countries have regressed democratically, with the executive controlling the judiciary and press, and oppressing the political opposition.

Plenty of conservative governments are in the EU. Freedom and democracy - which mean an independent judiciary and free and independent press - are not left-wing ideas!

In this case it works.

I can't understand why we're having a conversation about nature-based offsets because you can't compare an offset for an event that happens once (a flight) and a land use change that is effectively permanent.

On the other hand if you can collect $50,000 of carbon offsets for a flight people can spend $50,000 on investments in conservation and clean energy that they otherwise wouldn't.

Polymathy or Jack of all trades mentality is the new self-help. Ever since I started this journey in 2022, I've become a better writer, more fit, and motivated overall.

On one hand, there’s a responsibility to seek further knowledge and self-evaluate. I accept responsibility for not doing that here.
