I've spent plenty of time of my career doing exactly the type of replication you're talking about and easily the majority of CS papers weren't replicable with the methodology written down on the paper and on dataset that wasn't optimized and preselected by the papers author.

I didn't care about sharing code (it's not common), but independent implementation and comparison of ML and AI algorithms with purpose of independent comparison. So I'm not sure why you're getting so hung up on the code part: majority of papers were describing trash science even in their text in effort to get published and show results.
There are multiple grades of stainless steel, which have different proportions of metals in the alloy. The stainless steel used in the cybertruck's body panels appears to be 301 grade, which is not among the best in rust resistance, and can indeed rust depending on environmental conditions.

Given that 301 stainless is cheaper than 304 or 316, which have similar mechanical properties while having better rust resistance, I would guess that material costs resulted in choosing 301 for the cybertruck.

My metallurgy is a bit rusty (sorry), so take this with a grain of salt (which 301 does not resist well, incidentally!).
Maybe OP didn't describe the intricacies of photography well enough, but I had to take photography in an art college... but I have a better story to tell.

So, my father is a somewhat famous persona in the world of animation. When I was little, he used to take me to the festivals. And that being the time when movies were distributed on film, in anti-tank mine shaped containers... the editing was done with glue and scissors.

We were friends with the editor who usually worked with him on his films. I remember leaving the screening with her once, and she was talking to my dad, and in excitement she said: "Oh, had you seen the cuts? Such an amazing job!" And by that she meant the few frames between shots that the editors used to leave for their own navigation and other conveniences in the film they edited. Like, you may remember random letters and geometric shapes flashing for a split second on the screen? -- She was super excited to see that! Not the movie itself.

When it comes to photographs: you need to speak the language. Same things done deliberately or accidentally will mean different things. Overexposure? -- perhaps done deliberately for dramatic effect, or perhaps just an accident. Choosing a more grainy film over a finer one? -- Maybe just a lens with not enough light, or maybe the author was going for a special feeling of an older photographs. The main character in the portrait not in focus? -- you cannot tell if that's intentional or not, unless you can tell why.

There was a fashion movement in fashion where high-end clothes were photographed with extremely bright flash mounted on the camera (as opposed to more typical studio setting with diffused light from multiple sources). An artistic adaptation of amateur style. Go figure! It was hip like 20 years ago. But, to read it, you need to know the history. You need to know that it was the style at the time, and through that lens you can look at it and find other things the author had to tell you (whereas w/o the background you might just dismiss it as poorly lit picture).
additional fun fact, they used to make pepper shakers and rolling pins, too. if you've got a mill, why not?
Not sure tbh, but right now there's a supporter tier ($50) to support sustainable development, which has everything from the free tier + gives early access to new features + a discord badge
I imagine you'd get farther with your arguments if you started with those parts instead of what sounded like a full-throated defense of one bad actor by claiming they're forced to be bad by circumstances.

Don't hate the player, hate the game is fine if you say it up front. If you leave it for a comment buried down below you just look like a shill to all the people that read only one or two levels deep.
That seems silly to me. I certainly don't to outsource my thinking, but if I type '.fo' and it ghosts up a `.forEach(`, that's just time saved. It also lets me see what properties exist on the object - it's expanding out what I can know in the context of my cursor at any point of time. It saves me a trip to the documentation to see what I can do with an ICollection, but I'm still making the decisions.
Omitted from these explanations is that promotions convey 2 things: increased salary and a higher position.

A good performer can be rewarded without giving a higher position, simply by increasing their wages.

The catch is of course that regularly an employee may earn more than his/her superior....

Perhaps relaxing the last requirement is too much to stomach?
Obviously it's possible, particularly in this context, but generally speaking I'd rather avoid it.
Ironically robots are better at captchas than humans
it doesn't if you really like it :)
It is kinda both. It also reposts the project for your GitHub followers.
It might still be of introductory help to someone who has yet to formally learn what a language model is, what large language models are, and where things might be in the future.
It may be less bad, but I don't think there's a right way to retroactively add a type system to a dynamic language. I generally like working in JavaScript, but I have no desire to ever see TypeScript again.
Obviously, that is: statistically, all involved here (the SCP author, the HN commenters, you, me) are men, so saying "he" is very likely correct. If by chance someone here is nonetheless a woman she will probably speak up.
Fun fact: Sabian avoids the use of the name "Zildjian", even to refer to family members. They usually only write "Z". Robert Zildjian was routinely referred to as "RZ" and his son Andy as AZ.
It doesn't with me, because it only made sense back when firms hired lots of young people and promoted the most competent. This isn't how most firms work nowadays.

I've never even worked at a place that does promotions. Sure if your boss leaves you can apply for their job but it'll be offered to externals as well and then you'll be compared to them as an external applicant, i.e. with resume + interview. Job performance doesn't matter, HR makes no effort to even measure performance beyond PIPing people who don't show up.

Weirdly when I mention this to colleagues, who know for a fact that's how things work here, they're surprised because they never noticed. Like everyone has a mental model of 'good workers get promoted' which is seemingly impervious to direct experience.
For me, you’re not far off… it was an electric typewriter. So, the force I applied wasn’t directly linked to the force of hitting the paper, but it was … ahem … robust. Between that, the IBM Model M clone we had on the PC, or the membrane keyboard in our Atari 400, my early muscle memory might be skewed.

Now though, we’re talking mainly laptop keyboards. My desk keyboard is a low profile keyboard with pretty thin keys (Keytron K2). If you hit them at the right angle, there’s not much plastic there to absorb the shock.

Modern threat actors can spread requests out over large pools of source IPs. Rate limiting login attempts by IP isn't an effective means of preventing credential stuffing attacks.
Well, I proved that he's happy to express an opinion on whether an answer to a question is correct regardless of whether he knows anything about the question. I wouldn't trust advice from him or expect his work output to stand up to scrutiny.

Sentience isn't really a related concept.
Show HN: Killed by LLM – I catalogued AI benchmarks we thought would last years
For my year end I collected data on on how quickly AI benchmarks are becoming obsolete (https://r0bk.github.io/killedbyllm/). Some interesting findings:

2023: GPT-4 was truely something new
- It didn't just beat SOTA scores, it completely saturated several benchmarks
- First time humanity created something that can beat the turing test
- Created a clear "before/after" divide

2024: Others caught up, progress in fits and spurts
- O1/O3 used test-time compute to saturate math and reasoning benchmarks
- Sonnet 3.5/ 4o incremented some benchmarks into saturation, and pushed new visual evals into saturation
- Llama 3/ Qwen 2.5 brought Open Weight models to be competitive across the board

And yet with all these saturated benchmarks, I personally still can't trust a model to do the same work as a junior - our benchmarks aren't yet measuring real-world reliability.

Data & sources (if you'd like to contribute): https://github.com/R0bk/killedbyllm
Interactive timeline: https://r0bk.github.io/killedbyllm/

P.S. I've had a hard time deciding what benchmarks are significant enough to include. If you know of other benchmarks (including those yet to be saturated) that help answer "can AI do X" questions then please let me know.
Programming a GPU on Bare Metal
A paid "recommendation" is dishonest to begin with, and is taking advantage of misplaced trust/parasocial relationships. An honest relationship would involve asking viewers/readers/listeners to support them directly.

I offer my work for money. I don't work for free and tell clients "hey you should support me by using AWS (who will give me kickbacks) for your infrastructure." The conflict of interest is fundamental to such an arrangement, even if disclosed. Instead my employer pays me for my expertise and I do my best to give them my honest, unbiased experience/opinions/analysis. I'm explicit about the boundaries of my knowledge/experience.

Case in point: these "influencers" obviously did not do any due diligence on what this program was doing. They "recommended" something they didn't understand because they were paid to do so. If this were "merely" stealing user information (the monetization method someone else in the thread said they assumed), would there be controversy? What exactly did the people who recommended this thing think it was going to do to the people who installed it? That's the actual story here (though it should be unsurprising).
Realistically, it's probably the group inside the Chinese Academy of Sciences wanting for a larger impact factor for their review, similar to all other state sponsored researching institutes.
From what I've heard, Apple Arcade won't even consider you for Apple Arcade unless you're already established and have made popular games in the past, and they're very selective even then. So there's probably no chance my game would be accepted for it.

This is one comment that corroborates that:

"It requires support for Mac OS and TV OS and committing to significant content updates every year for three years, at minimum. Revenue is based on how many people play your game compared to everything else on the platform.

Because of the contractual commitment and the need for marketing spend (If people don't play, you don't get paid), it's hard to recommend for a small developer without commercial experience, which is why Apple is rather particular about who they approve."[1]

It's a sad indictment that it took all this effort, in 2019, to convince a world "leader" that climate change was real.
"kafkaeque negotiations where every involve party can fight tooth and nail for their pet rule or exception and everything slows down to a crawl."

That is pretty much how I see the EU as it is. Maybe you are aware of the luxory of moving the whole parliament once a month between Bruessel and Strassbourg?

And calling my comment shortsighted is just inviting me to return the compliment and further degrade all debate btw.

UPDATE: there's a newer, active job posting here - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42921551. The below google form is closed, and we're leaving the posting only to communicate with people who responded already.

I’m the founder, trying to do “enlightened business.” We are a small, worker-first, fully-remote, SF-based, boutique indie tech agency. Our leadership staff are ex-Fortune 100; everybody codes. Notable recent projects: voltagepark.com and a Slackbot for Anduril’s employees.

This month, we’re hiring two types of technical staff: platform engineers, and software engineers. We are currently filling “Tier 3” (5-10 y/o/e, $220K-$300K annual comp) and “Tier 4” (7-20 y/o/e, $280K-$350K annual total comp) roles.

Platform Engineers (devops/SRE specialist, but with full stack application engineering experience):

* Mostly AWS, some GCP; Kubernetes, Docker; Terraform, Pulumi, CloudFormation; ArgoCD, Kargo; Datadog, Grafana, Prometheus, Loki.

* React; Typescript, Python, Ruby on Rails; NodeJS, NextJS, Vercel.

Software Engineers:

* JS/TS heavy (SQL/NextJS/Node/React, React+ReactNative), gen-ai nice-to-have, AWS deployments.

Culturally, we look for self-driven individuals, who exhibit high integrity, who are able to articulate their aspirations, and who pursue “everybody wins” business.

> It's definitely a special level of low to steal something that's already free

stealing from the commons, basically.
> With the introduction of generics at 1.18, many linters lacked support for generics for months. We delayed the upgrade due to this issue.

I wouldn't plan on using a new feature in production in the release that introduced it. Why would you plan to be using generics on day one?

> There was talk of trying to solve this issue in the upstream ourselves.

Was there a genuine business case that would make Lyft more profit if they used generics? If not then why would you even consider this?

> Fortunately, by the time we seriously started exploring this option, linter support was added and go 1.19 was also released. We eventually upgraded directly to 1.19 from 1.17 but we were around 10 months late.

You weren't late. You were precisely on time. This is some odd project mentality.
They ask the user first. That's all they need to do. "Do you have the right to share this? Great, let's go!" That's plenty. If you're asking them to do more, you're wildly out of touch with how any of this works.
He can also disable your car remotely if you mess around with the innards too much. Or otherwise target you for harassment if you annoy him.
Prolog is very powerful, if you see what professionals can do with it it's eye opening. Unfortunately, it takes a complete relearning of programming to achieve that proficiency level. And after you reach it, you probably cannot use it in your day job...
If we substitute something else in this argument, we can see that it’s trivially not true for arguing complexity:

You can have stars without lead, but you can’t have lead without stars; Lead (the element) is produced by stars but is itself not more complex than a star.
You’re right. Going back over some notes (including go.mod’s history), we’ve been at this for six years, not four. And a dozen build breaks is probably an overestimate — it’s more like one every 12-18 months. Most upgrades are uneventful, everything just continues working.
Which geographical market?
Were you nervous after the time off?

I'm reading people who have been continually employed taking forever to find jobs.
Its idiotic to focus on the last 100 years. Those american innovations you mention came on the shoulders of innovations from the arabs, romans, ottomans and many other cultures/societies before them. Where is the praise for them?
Why are we so focused on who is the best. We seriously need a population reset. People can be so idiotic and self absorbed.

I don't entirely disagree with you, but ImtelliSense might have increased the prevalence of long and stupid symbol names. Had people been forced to type out names, their naming might have been more careful.
You are only doomed if you decide to play the promotion game. That isn't required.
They're also cooking the Amazon lol
Hmm. Is there anything in my comment above that might address that point of view?

don't you benefit from taxes?
Your two word comment was ambiguous. I interpreted it as something like "People are downvoting you because they have no sense of humor".

There are other websites where two and three word comments are better received.

If that 5% is 90% of cost to provide the service, forget it. Nobody is going to do a Herculean task to support a niche user.
This is correct, but AFAIK if you buy, say, a Stratocaster, it can come in a number of different colors / finishes, maybe with a couple different options of wood for the fretboard, possibly a couple different options for the pickups, but this is still the same model.

I suppose that the cymbals makers just cut their models more thinly.
oxygen, water, sugar, fat, protein
This matches my experience. I've been working 30 years, I've very rarely ever seen anyone get promoted. Also, I have never been promoted. But, 99% of this wasn't in FAANG companies. There is a "Promo culture" now that didn't exist before.
There is a big difference between “highest quality” and “most popular.” Online services constantly confuse the two because it’s easier to measure popularity.
I'm surprised. Most companies are moving to Just In time. A contract to supply for a year, and often secret insight into order books so the supplier can work with their supplier when they need things. You still need some buffer because interruptions will happen, but storing a years worth of use means you pay for space to store all that. (it gets worse if someone invents a better washer and now your inventory is obsolete)
I put swyx up there with sama in the category of extremely smart people that give me the ick for reasons I cannot articulate
Yeah, I'm planning to release the game on both Steam and iOS. With Love2D, I'm able to use mostly the same codebase outside of native iOS or Steam features I'd like to add.

Thanks for helping to confirm my suspicions. I used to release mobile games myself but it's been well over a decade. The landscape was a lot different back then.
Its a matter of degree. If 90% of the cost savings are from a new, smarter architecture, it doesn't make sense to point to the API terms as the reason for it being so cheap.
> because broadband providers offer information services and not telecommunications services

This is where I highly disagree with the opinions of this court decision. My ISP is absolutely providing me telecommunications services, not information service.

For practically all the "information" I receive, my ISP is not "generating, acquiring, storing, transforming, processing, retrieving, utilizing, or making available information via telecommunications". That maybe sometimes I might land on some webpage hosted by my ISP is inconsequential to the services I am paying for, that's not the service I'm paying for. In the end I'm paying for them to give me the ability to telecommunicate with a server hosted by someone else which then generates, processes, retrives, that information.

My ISP is not the information service which lets me post here. Hacker News is an information service acquiring, storing, transforming, processing, and retrieving the data I request. My ISP is only used for me to talk to the Hacker News webserver.

https://www.congress.gov/104/plaws/publ104/PLAW-104publ104.p...

I truly don't understand how anyone who can even vaguely understand how ISPs work and reads this law could say ISPs aren't telecommunications providers and are instead information service providers. Other than maybe big bags of cash that makes people's reading comprehension a little loose.

Email: hello@phil.denhoff.ca

I'm a full-stack software engineer and a generalist. I launched my side-project Citadel here on Hacker News at the beginning of last year to great fanfare, and it now has 1k+ stars on GitHub. Previously, I launched a React Native mobile app that offered pet parents 0% bridge financing loans for vet care in just four months, offering folks the ability to afford necessary vet care for the first time.

I've worked on static, server-rendered, and SPA websites, built React Native mobile apps, deployed APIs using Elixir, Python, and Typescript (Node.js + Deno), and recently I've been tinkering with desktop applications using Tauri + Rust.
