The Joseph Rowntree Reform Trust looked into it in the UK as well in the early 2000's and from their Exec Summary:

- There have been at least 42 convictions for electoral fraud in the UK in the period 2000–2007.

- Greater use of postal voting has made UK elections far more vulnerable to fraud and resulted in
several instances of large-scale fraud.

- The benefits of postal and electronic voting have been exaggerated, particularly in relation to claims
about increased turnout and social inclusion

What I think I just read is that content moderation is complicated, error-prone, and expensive. So Meta is going to do a lot less of it. They'll let you self-moderate via a new community notes system, similar to what X does. I think this is a big win for Meta, because it means people who care about the content being right will have to engage more with the Meta products to ensure their worldview is correctly represented.

They also said that their existing moderation efforts were due to societal and political pressures. They aren't explicit about it, but it's clear that pressure does not exist anymore. This is another big win for Meta, because minimizing their investment in content moderation and simplifying their product will reduce operating expenses.

That's fair, but I think you're being a little uncharitable to the point being made.

I would postulate that most ChatGPT users are not using it in a productive capacity, they're using it as a sort of "google that's better at understanding my queries." Obviously that serves a great niche for lots of people, but I don't think it's what mvdtnz had in mind.

There was a clock on HN a while ago (which I cannot now find) - it has one mode in which the clock only updates itself every random number of seconds, or ticks at different times within each second, oor ticks according to a MIDI tune as well as it can while staying within 30 seconds of the real time.

So, while you can just set your clock forward 30 seconds and be done with it, there are some variations that someone who likes thinking about this are worth playing with.

[My favorite mode of the referenced clock, sets the clock randomly ahead between 1-5 min. Since you don't know how much your clock is off by, you have to assume your clock is on time, and that will give you an average 2.5 minutes to actually show up on time.]
NYC Subway, Metro North, and LIRR have much broader and more frequent coverage to a lot more places outside the urban core than the bay area's network does. Iirc muni metro has passable coverage inside San Francisco, and Bart and Caltrain service a few linear corridors outside San Francisco pretty well, but a whole lot of the bay area is very far from transit. This means that bay area commuters could not as easily switch away from cars. Though SF is still probably the second best candidate for congestion pricing after NYC.
That's it for me. A lot of the time I drink something alcoholic my requirements actually are just cold (not hot), and not sweet (and other than water). Traditionally that approximately means alcohol! Tomato juice I suppose, iced tea doesn't have to be that sweet, cold brew coffee... But basically it's alcohol.

I do now enjoy 0-0.5% 'beer' sometimes, I think it works best when it's not the kind you drink with alcohol, so it's not disappointingly not quite right. E.g. I like the AF versions of Guinness & Bavaria - I don't really drink stouts or lager.
In a way, yes since a local employee will get higher salary than a remote worker. It could cost some people $40 a day just to get into and out of work. What will happen if you don’t compensate is people come to the office late and leave early to avoid the pricing, resulting in a loss of productivity.
Getting your community to fact-check is certainly cheaper.
By your definition practically any code is a compiler unless you literally typed out every individual thing the machine should do, one by one.

"Understanding compilers is hard."

I think this is just unnecessarily pessimistic or embracing incompetence as the norm. It's really not hard to understand the concept of an "inline" loop. And so what if I do write a compiler so that when I do `print("%d", x)` it just gives me a piece of code that converts `x` to a "digit" number and doesn't include float handling? That's not hard to understand.

Parametricity is about behavior, not code. A function parametric in a variable should bevave identically for all values of the variable. If one instance of a C++ template fails to compile and another instance of the same template does compile it is a stretch to say they behave identically, even though they use the same code.
Isn't that just ebay anyway?
Way more memory bandwidth and performance (GDDR7 vs LPDDR5). I didn't see fp32 detailed, but this may be more focused on low precision.

This is probably closer to quad-channel threadripper/second tier apple levels of bandwidth than to modern GPU bandwidth, but maybe it gets up to 800GB/s like the M1 Ultra. 5090 is 1.8GB/s, four of them for the same amount of RAM (3X as expensive with a system), would be 7200GB/s, maybe 10-20X more.

With the lower power consumption, if this has full performance FP32, it may be pretty killer though for home use, especially if the bandwidth of the ConnectX is more than thunderbolt 5.

>every type of information you want is in them

Actually, I'm afraid that no. It won't give us the step by step scalable processes to make humanity as a whole enter in a loop of indefinitely long period of world peace, with each of us enjoying life in its own thriving manner. That would be great information to broadcast, though.

Also it equally has ability to produce large pile of completely delusional answers, that mimics just as well genuinely sincere statements. Of course, we can also receive that kind of misguiding answers from humans. But the amount of output that mere humans can throw out in such a form is far more limited.

All that said, it's great to be able to experiment with it, and there are a lot of nice and fun things to do with it. It can be a great additional tool, but it won't be a self-sufficient panacea of information source.

Oh absolutely. At most restaurants, my options are water, badly stale tea, a variety of sodas, and alcoholic beverages. All of the interesting drinks are poisoned. I want to enjoy the variety and see what flavors and experiences are out there without the poison, and the N/A menu is my key to actually doing that. Suddenly I can try "real drinks" and get all of the fun with none of the nauseating headache.

The prices of photos sold by those services are insanely high.

Those businesses would be much more profitable if they lowered their prices significantly, but I guess the greed overshadowed their mind.

If you assume they are immune to politics (not true but let's go with it), this is the most obvious reason.

They've seen X hasn't taken that much heat for Community Notes and they're like "wow we can cut a line item".

The real problem is, Facebook is not X. 90% of the content on Facebook is not public.

You can't Fact Check or Community Note the private groups sharing blatantly false content, until it spills out via a re-share.

So Facebook will remain a breeding ground of conspiracy, pushed there by the echo chamber and Nazi-bar effects.

I am really writing python. The LLM is a substitute for having foreknowledge of this particular language's syntax and grammar, but I'm still debugging like a "real" programmer and I'm still editing/refining the code like a "real" programmer, because I am.

Probably half the lines of code were written by me, because I do know how to write code.

Here's what I wrote if you're curious: https://github.com/sjwright/zencontrol-python/

Respectfully I disagree - the situation is far more complex in science than software engineering disciplines.

I agree that different tests require different amounts of effort (obviously), but even the simplest "unit tests" you could conceive of for scientific domains are very complex, as there's no standard (or even unique) way to translate a scientific problem into a formally checkable system. Theories are frameworks within which experiments can be judged, but this is rarely unambiguous, and often requires a great deal of domain-specific knowledge - in analogy to programming it would be like the semantics of your language changing with every program you write. On the other hand, any programmer in a modern language can add useful tests to a codebase with (relatively) little effort.

We are talking hours versus months or even years here!

The experiment informs the ontology which informs the experiment. I don't think this is reducible to bias, although that certainly exists. Rather to me it's inherent uncertainty in the domain that experiments seek to address.

Business practice, as you use the term, evolved to serve very different needs. Automated testing is useful for building software, but that effort may be better spent in science developing new experiments and hypotheses. It's very much an open problem whether the juice is worth the squeeze - in fact the lack of such efforts is (weak) evidence that it might not be. Scientists are not stupid.
Is it even possible to have 5K, 120 Hz and HiDPI together? I also want all three, but the last time I checked, literally the only 5K 120 Hz monitor you could buy was Dell’s 40-inch curved UltraSharp. Which does look nice and has gotten rave reviews, but 5K at 40” just seems too low density for what I want, and there’s literally no other 5K 120Hz monitor out there, unless I’m overlooking something.

I’ve been carefully watching CES hoping someone would announce another one, but so far no dice - Dell did bump their 27- and 32-inch 4K UltraSharps to 120Hz, which is a welcome development, but if you want more than 4K you’re still out of luck.

EDIT: The next hope if that doesn’t happen is that Apple refreshes their 5K and 6K displays with 120Hz when they update the Mac Studio, which is supposedly happening this spring. It would be a logical time for it now that the latest Macs have Thunderbolt 5 (TB4 literally didn’t have enough bandwidth to do 5K@120, much less 6K), but so far there don’t seem to be rumors to this effect, and historically Apple waits a very long time between monitor updates.
I look for non fire sale prices and non bleeding edge prices.

Things going for 150-200 is old tech. Things in the $500+ is fomo new tech.

Exactly 350-400 is the correct price for a balance of new and legacy tech (best value).

I mean, I'm definitely biased but I've been sick once since ~2015 and that was Covid I caught at a large anniversary celebration. Before that I was <18 and would get sick every winter in my opinion due to people caughing all around me on the bus for 45 minutes per direction.

With crazies it's not that bad. I remember the bus getting pulled over once by a car with people with pipes/bats who beat a grandpa for getting in an argument with one of the guys prior. That was the only actually violent occurance over thousands of rides, however I still have yet to feel as threatened with a personal vehicle. With a car I could have rammed the fuck out of them or ran them over, with a bike I could have been gone in a second, when the bus driver stops and opens the front door you're just stuck. Again, realistically it's mostly crazy homeless people who pose no threat but I prefer to have some control at least.

My issue with electric bicycles is:

If limited they don't fit with pedestrians or cars so you need to complicate infrastructure. Good for going to the post office but not as a daily since they're just not fast enough. Lovely for old people and to an extent kids.

If not limited they are less tested motorcycles with usually shitty tires and brakes, no ABS, TC, etc with pedals to fulful some potentially existing legal loophole since there's no way you're doing anything close to the motor output manually yet since you feel inclined to pedal gear becomes problematic.

I still have yet to try an electric motorcycle but I'd guess the little electric scooters would be great for commuting. I'm guessing an electric scooter that can do 100-140kmh would be the utility sweet spot. You'd be able to go everywhere and charge for pennies with minimal maintenance. You'd also get the scooter benefits of improved road muck/weather protection and actual underseat storage.
As a customer I find a stark difference between Musk and Jobs. I have a Tesla and I was also a customer of Jobs’s Apple since 1999.

The big difference is that Jobs never lied to me. Sure, he was an enthusiastic salesman, but the products actually did what was promised. (I even bought Mac OS X 10.0 in a retail box. It was rough but it showed that their new OS is delivering.) Apple products fit my purposes and I kept coming back to buy more.

Musk sold me a very expensive feature that still does nothing, six years later. He knew that he was lying about the capabilities of the cars, but still took my $7,500 for a feature that was worth zero. I’m never buying anything from him again.

The same approach of bald-faced lies is evident in most of the tech industry today. Cryptocurrency products don’t serve any purpose but enriching people like Andreessen. AI is almost as bad. And now these titans of misinformation are barging into global politics. They don’t care about empowering people and creativity like Jobs did, they just want more personal power.

To be parametric it needs to be the same body semantically, not just textually. Particularly in C++ with its heavy operator overloading and limited safety, you can very easily write a template whose body will do the right thing for some types and be undefined behaviour for others (e.g. if your template has comparisons in it and then you instantiate it with a pointer or something).
This is visible also in Germany since 5-10 years. There has been now some development of really tasty alternatives, from the classic "radler" now with a mix with everything (e.g., Becks Ice) to 0.0% alcohol like Bitburger Isotonic, which is really tasty and refreshing.

Wine, on the other hand, is impossible to make alcohol free.
Free access to an ID is only part of the problem. you also need equal access to ID issuers (ie, locations, hours open, wait times, etc), multiple forms of ID to validate the voter ID. Not everyone has a birth certificate (lost, home birth, in another country that you may want to stay hidden from).

Put simply, the effort to become a voter should be equal regardless of wealth. I like the idea of imposing the difficulty the minority poors have in getting an ID on the white better off. Can you imagine Musk having to make multiple in-person trips to the DMV and wait an hour each time he is there?

Yes. Discovering lime soda is what allowed me to stop drinking alcohol. Prior to that I would feel the peer pressure to have an alcoholic drink. For some reason water is unacceptable. Coca cola or similar is OK, but very unhealthy. Lime soda seems to be the minimum that is allowed and doesn't seem too unhealthy.

The other trick is making the drink last for as long as you can. As soon as the drink is finished you are required to obtain another one. But nobody needs to drink multiple litres of fluid in the space of a few hours, plus it's expensive. So I take tiny sips and make half a litre last an hour or longer.
Arlington, VA has had this for years. The I-66 10-mile segment to DC is dynamic pricing with no limit. I've seen it over $40. And they can pick and choose who it applies to. That was in part due to a lawsuit. The federal and state governments made hollow promises to Arlington to get I-66 built, then did little about the resulting traffic mess and noise for decades.

"The issue arises from a 1977 agreement between then-U.S. Secretary of Transportation William T. Coleman Jr. and the state of Virginia. In the so-called Coleman Decision, Arlington agreed to drop its opposition to the construction of I-66 in exchange for certain promises, including a four-lane limit, sound barriers, and truck and car-pool restrictions."

I like beer. One might say it makes me a jolly good fellow... but...

I use to really dislike non-alcoholic beer. Not because I had any problem with the idea of it, but because they all tasted like crap.

These days, I'm finding that there are some I actually like. By taste, they are clearly not regular beers: they have to be taken as their own thing. But they're not bad at all and they are close enough to satisfy the want of a nice beer. I like them when I don't want any of the effects of the alcohol... maybe I'm working on something that requires, you know, thought, or I will drink them during my monthly poker game. I'm glad there are more and better choices.

What I am missing is something in between the full-on-not-worried-about-alcohol beers and non-alcoholic beers. I want a good range of choices in "small beers", where they're good and they'll get me relaxed but I can have a few without getting too buzzed or drunk. I've seen some advertised here and there (none anywhere close to where I live).

As for non-alcoholic spirits, I agree with those that don't get it. The spirits I like depend far too much on the interaction of alcohol and how it evaporates for the overall experience to see the point.
