Actually, there is no differential standard. The law doesn’t differentiate between who the mistreatment is being directed to. It’s irrelevant whether a black employee is harassing a white employee or vice versa. As far as I can tell, a lot of lawyers gave bad advice about this to their corporate clients over the last few years and the next few years are going to be embarrassing for them.
I really think Matt is suffering from some sort of a mental breakdown. It’s a sad situation and there’s a lot to learn about open source projects with a huge user base and where the bottle necks exist. But I think people who know or are close to him should seriously consider an intervention. I can’t believe after two decades he’d just decide to throw it all out in a blazing fire and tarnish his reputation (and Wordpress) because of some valuation drop or being short on money. I think the dude needs help, and people close to him should try and talk sense into him.
It started in the 1930s, so I think the answer is no, they weren't expected to do those things. I expect it would have been very difficult to get hired as a reporter (Tintin's profession) as a women in the 1930s. Even the detectives of Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers were men, despite the authors being women.

But, you're in luck, there's Yoko Tsuno [1], also by a Belgian, I believe, but started 40 years later.

As I understand, the vulns come because of a big messy codebase and the idea to solve everything with another 3rd party plugin.

Processwire OTOH is fantastic in this regard. Super small and generic core with minimal, close to non-existent attack surface, and a programmatic API that lets you solve custom functionality with a few calls to the content API instead of another plugin.

Leads to practically maintenance free sites.

Almost the security of a static site, with the flexibility and dynamic features of a proper cms.

After having the nightmare of maintaining a dozen WP and Drupal sites in the past, I can now just let the sites chug along for years without intervention.

this is 100% why I write "courses" alongside my notes when learning something- forces you to think about pitfalls you fall into while learning, things you need to revisit and an overall story on how to introduce a topic.

but blogging? Outside of an immediate personal sphere I don't really see the need. Although that said I'm looking at things like [pico.sh](https://pico.sh/prose) just to play around with presentable notes/courses rather than my default obsidian stuff.

I think the original theory is right. I’ve seen it play out close up. Basically a sales guy thinks they have a client who is caught and they can basically can extort them for a ransome and they try to do it. Sometimes clients actually are not as caught as the sales guys think and this happens. The sales guy looks now like an idiot and this is a guide that other caught customers can follow.

Not in my state.

- My kids attend a suburban public school:

Cost per student: $15K/year

Graduation rate: 93%

Students who commit or are accepted into 2 sand 4 year colleges: 90%+

- Compare that with just one school in the urban school system:

Cost per student: $37K/year

Graduation rate: 57%

Students who commit or are accepted into 2 sand 4 year colleges: less than 50%

Just to throw some more fire on this, the teachers in the last two years in those urban districts? They've gotten substantial raises and large increases in spending from the state legislature. The last standardized test results post C19? The kids in those schools were forced into lengthy closures during C19 and were the last schools to re-open (months after all the suburban schools had already been open with in person attendance) amounted to their students REGRESSING by multiple percentage points.

So no, after watching this first hand with myself and my sisters kids who were yanked out of an urban public school as freshman; urban students and schools receive considerably more than their suburban counterparts and are still lagging significantly behind them.

Solar radiation management (geoengineering) is also a choice. It has been a choice. I don’t know why people don’t take it seriously. Lofting calcium of sulfur into the upper atmosphere is pretty much the only way to stop runaway feedback loops.

We should be allowed to scientifically research solar radiation management at small scales! However, currently, it is effectively banned. It’s crazy to me.

I think the reason why Twitter is problematic isn't Musk, but is directly related to the structure of Twitter, thus Bluesky will eventually inherit exactly the same problems.

The underlying issue is that the structure of these services is short form and uni-directional. It's the internet's megaphone. This is great celebrities and media outlets, because it acts more as a megaphone than as a discussion forum. However, it is also great for low-information, bumper-sticker politics. The limited text entry deliberately disincentivizes nuance, thus will not be conducive to good-faith disagreement, and instead forces participants into a team sports style of arguing.

Perhaps there is a local minima where each political paradigm ends up on a different system, but social networks are natural monopolies, especially when they take the form of a megaphone. Thus, they should always try to reorganize themselves into a single provider, leading to the exact same conflict-prone environment that was created on Twitter. That Bluesky now feels peasant now is exactly that the user base is a self-selected group, as one of the platforms becomes dominant again, one can only assume the conflict-prone structure of the service will again assert itself.

For now, I'll stay on Reddit. Admittedly imperfect, but it's a place where nuance can and does show up.
> There are a lot of words that were utterly benign a few decades ago and now are capital offences.

It's funny, I can't think of one. I think that might have to do with a difference in what the existentialists would call facticity.

> Turning this into a racial grievance is incredible, really, and is very woke in the sense that PG is citing. The overwhelming use of woke as a pejorative is targeting whites, particularly the endless offended "ally" sort. And of course, in no universe are females a minority if that is your argument (51.1% of the US). And I mean, worldwide white males are one of the smallest minorities, yet somehow they are the target of almost all actions and rhetoric.

I think this is one of the divides -- so in the interest of open conversation: As you see it, it's probably true that woke is referring to some imagined pink haired middle manager, living in Seattle or Portland, who is really into land acknowledgments.

But when I look at the broader right-wing ecosystem, that's not what it means. Woke is when a city like Baltimore has a black mayor. Woke is when the fire department is headed by a lesbian. Woke is when female video game characters don't have a large enough cup size. Woke is when activists suggest that maybe we have a negative police culture in America. Woke is when there are too many POC in a given incoming college class.

And it's not surprising that people would be against that definition.
> Being in Seattle

Seattle is covered by oppressive gray wetness blotting out the sun 80% of the year. Looking at the sky there is just depressing, which isn't the case basically anywhere else in the US. Like, when we talk about getting natural light, the Seattle response is "what's that?" I don't think Seattle should really be held as a meaningful baseline here. :)

Maybe in Seattle they can instead replace all the windows with video displays of sunshine.
> Now it seems like the community needs to take over, but Mullenweg still holds all the keys.

This move by Matt to pull out of development all but guarantees a fork. The biggest argument against was the work that Automattic was putting into WordPress would be very hard to replicate in a new project. But if the community is going to be expected to do ~all of the work anyway, there's no reason to do that work inside Matt's personal fiefdom.
I was thinking about it, but the Guidelines include this:

>Off topic: blog posts, sign-up pages, newsletters, lists, and other reading material. Those can't be tried out, so can't be Show HNs. Make a regular submission instead.

so I made a regular submission, as I think HardBreak is reading material. @Mods feel free to move my post, if this is considered a Show HN post.

Low entropy is expected here, since the model is seeking a “best” answer based on reward training.

But I see the same misconceptions as always around “hallucinations”. Incorrect output is just incorrect output. There is no difference in the function of the model, no malfunction. It is working exactly as it does for “correct “ answers. This is what makes the issue of incorrect output intractable.

Some optimisation can be achieved through introspection, but ultimately, an llm can be wrong for the same reason that a person can be wrong, incorrect conclusions, bad data, insufficient data, or faulty logic/modeling. If there was a way to be always right, we wouldn’t need LLMs or second opinions.

Agentic workflows and introspection/cot catch a lot, and flights of fancy are often not supported or replicated with modifications to context, because the fanciful answer isn’t reinforced in the training data.

But we need to get rid of the unfortunate term for wrong conclusions,“hallucination” . When we say a person is hallucinating, it implies an altered state of mind. We don’t say that bob is hallucinating when he thinks that the sky is blue because it reflects the ocean, we just know he’s wrong because he doesn’t know about or forgot about Raleigh scattering.

Using the term “hallucination” distracts from accurate thought and misleads people to draw erroneous conclusions.

So now we have pg virtue-signalling his fealty to the other old rich white guys. Great. Just great.

The only people who use the term "woke" are social conservatives, and those to their right. Everyone else talks about "justice" and "equality" and "awareness". The woke problem is a conservative problem.

> a spiritual successor to it that can shake the baggage

Plenty of people have made better CMSes, Wordpress is big because it got big, and a lot of people depend on it. And since an enormous number of people are involved with it, your upstart system will never have the capability of Wordpress. Whatever capability you come up with, somebody will have already made a horrible module to install on Wordpress to do it that after 10 years has become almost alright, or at least all of the flaws have been posted on messageboards and everybody knows how to work around them.

Wordpress isn't wordpress because it's good, it's wordpress because it was good enough at the time, and its competition was Drupal and Joomla (or something not PHP.) PHP baggage? PHP isn't PHP because it's good, it's PHP because of mod_php, and cheap hosts. To repeat, your choices: Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal, or figuring out how to run another language on your cheap host, or having to pay to upgrade your hosting account. By far the best option for most people was Wordpress.

If you want to compete with Wordpress, first get a time machine, then go back to that time and write something better in PHP.

> why not just offshore it altogether?

Policy equivalent to tariffs to make it unfavorable to offshore vs hiring onshore talent. I.R.C. §174 implements this concept with an amortization delta between US and non-US based development and R&D cost accounting, for example.

"We can make you come into the office because we say so or we'll just offshore." might be challenging in the current zeitgeist.

I am talking about the literature which solves MAB in a variety of ways, including the one in the post.

> MAB properly done is essentially just A/B testing

Words are only useful insofar as their meanings invoke ideas, and in my experience absolutely no one thinks of other MAB strategies when someone talks about A/B testing.

Sure, you can classify A/B testing as one extremely suboptimal approach to solving MAB problem. This classification doesn’t help much though, because the other MAB techniques do “magically increase the rewards” compared this simple technique.

Hmm, crazy narcissist Matt Mullenweg does something for attention at the detriment of everyone else, again?

The problem is that there's a bit of a black hole in CMSs right now where you need developers who want to work on the CMS and ordinary users who can host/create content on the CMS. Strapi was almost there, but alas, headless is not going to cut it for your average business trying to make a website.

Static site generators can be too limited and simple, Drupal is not particularly user friendly, and tons of other CMSs don't have enough plugins for marketers to cram into their sites.

Anyone considering e-commerce now will probably use Shopify instead of WooCommerce. Site builders like Squarespace and Wix are good for simpler sites but not for multi-author news type sites.

I feel like the only option is a fork at this point.
But... isn't that a core ethos of open-source? That you won't ever come even close to capturing the full value provided by a piece of software... but the nature of the problem is such that the value could never be created unless it was open.

I like to think of this as a "reverse" faustian bargain. By sticking to some agreed upon "moral" agreement of this open contribution and communal governance, you create a huge market that you get to try and least capture a piece of. If you break that bargin, you risk the project. And it isn't like this is some theoretical bit... it has been shown again and again in different communities.

I fundamentally don't understand how you can spend so long in open-source and think that this agreement doesn't apply to you. That may seem "cruel" in that someone else can profit from you... but that was always part of the bargain that made your business exist in the first place.
Every time I read a comment like this about replacing WP and PHP with a successor it just sounds so incredibly out of touch.

I mean no offense OP but it's obvious you have no clue at all about who actually uses WP and why they do it.

I dislike RTO for one simple reason .

I'm not at work to make friends, I'm not at work to chit chat. I'm not at work so we can talk about who won the last football game .

I go to work in exchange for currency, which is required to acquire goods and services. All this other crap, all these holiday parties, all of this let's dance in diversity videos, no that's not what I'm here for .

Most of the time coming to the office actually adds a bunch of unnecessary crap that is completely unneeded. If you can't get your job done remotely, what's the stop you from also slacking off in the office. I have to go back to the office for a while last year times were hard and I didn't have another option .

We're just talking to each other, shooting the s**, and it was cool to meet some Junior Devs who were just starting their career. But none of that made me a more productive worker.

If I had to think, I imagine the entire point of RTO mandates is to keep cities sustainable.

If every single office job went remote, what's the point of a city like New York. Who's going to willingly pay $6,000 for an apartment, ride the trains for over an hour a day, if you can just sit at home in a much cheaper city .

However, to quote a famous philosopher, it's a big club and you ain't in it. The powers that be one as many people in office chairs as possible, so they're real estate holdings appreciate in value.

Billy Bob's bagels also benefits from this, although I'd imagine he's not able to have the same amount of pool as the real estate titans
Exactly. Anyone with any reading comprehension (and honesty) can tell that PG conflates being woke with acting woke early on for exactly this purpose. He also talks a lot about polarization as though it's entirely the "woke mob's" fault, about moralizing without mentioning evangelicals, about "enforcers" without mentioning MAGA paramilitaries, etc. It's all very disingenuous, even for him.
He has denounced his past beliefs.

He still cites people who contribute to these websites that he describes as "white-supremacist and misogynistic", though. That seems awfully odd for somebody who claims that these beliefs are odious. I also really don't know how else to interpret a call to overturn Griggs v Duke.

I'm not defending Mr. Musk at all. I'm saying it's pointless to spend more than 0.0001% of my time or brainpower thinking about him and his politics -- a COMPLETE waste of time exceeded perhaps only by reading his Tweets, be they heartfelt or performative or trolling. To the extent I'm thinking about Elon, I'm thinking about what led to his success, and how those lessons might apply to me or people I'm supporting.
Also, Wordpress already can generate a static site.
American society doesn't want to accept that a lot of our problems happen because the parents aren't home. Michael Moore had an interesting scene in Bowling for Columbine where he showed a 6 year old shooter's mother had to work hours away daily and wasn't home. Mine and most of my friends parents always had to be outside of the house during our formative years. We had very robust economy in the 90s/2000s that pretty much sacrificed family time to get it done.

This is truly a past way of being. A real past, we cannot go back.

We have a way of solving this for many workers and any company not in tune with this beautiful thing is unacceptable to my heart (and hopefully many others).
Exactly. But not just conversationally built, also conversationally used. UI interactions are seen as just another type of message in a multi-modal conversation.
