Swartz was charged with 35 to 50 years, realistically faced up to 10, and was offered 6 months if he plead guilty [1]. That offer moreover wasn’t the final offer.

Put another way, it’s not clear that the law is being applied to Zuckerberg differently than it was to Swartz given the law wasn’t actually ever applied to Swartz. (Or that they wouldn’t gladly trade this lawbreaking for $1mm in fines and a negotiation over penalties where the prosecution opens with 6 months jail.)

The prosecutor acted inappropriately in that case; MIT, more wildly so. That doesn’t, however, carry over to a transgression of the law given we never got to that stage.

Why? It just isn't what draws me to Nix.

I've never even really tried NixOS on the desktop TBH.
So if a little of something is good, more must be better!!
There's a word for it: anthropocentrism. Also a common fallacy/myth: the noble savage.
Craft and Wagtail are the two I've heard of as WordPress replacements. In our sector (nonprofits) Drupal has too much of an (mostly undeserved, now) reputation as being very hard to use. I found Craft a bit too convoluted (as I mention in another comment, perhaps just due to unfamiliarity). Interested in Wagtail but that would mean a switch from PHP to Python. Not a deal-breaker but a bit of a hump to get over. Wagtail also used to be a bit too beholden to Torchbox (a UK agency) for my tastes - I think they started the project - but looks like that's shifted a bit in terms of the core team.
Aggregious is a nice portmanteau or eggcorn.

(More detail: egregious is from Latin ex grex, to stand out from the flock. Aggregate is from Latin ad grex, to bring into the flock. Aggressive is ad grad, towards a new grade or level or behavior. So aggregious has this idea of all of humanity leaving our flock en masse as we hurt ourselves and the planet, unified in elevated action but misbehaving and alienated.)
Of course we can. You're perhaps thinking of ownership as being something more than a social construction, but that's all it is.

"Own" just means that we agree with other people that we have certain rights over some property - land, or whatever. That ownership is enforced to varying degrees by society. That's it.
It does, yes, but IME if you can get people who aren’t familiar with shell to use it, it prevents more problems than it solves on the whole.

Then again, so does enforcing passing shellcheck in CI.
Dark matter in particular strikes me as… “yes, obviously”.

There’s about a dozen quantum fields corresponding to particles. These form a graph, which is by no means fully connected; the fields each interact with a subset of each other, and neutrinos in particular only interact with gravity and the weak force.

If the connections are in some sense random, then it should come as no surprise whatsoever that the graph has disconnected subsets. In fact dark matter theory is effectively stating that the subset we’re a part of is one of many, which also agrees with the copernican principle.
So the US Supreme Court is corrupt, well why not join the rest of the US Gov. in getting "gifts and tips".
Parallel, Fault-Tolerant Agents with Burr and Ray
Few months ago when I’ve tried it there was no full support for ruby language.
The last section 28:50 "The wrong wrongness" gives the motivation that quantizing gravity only answers what happens in a black hole, and gravitizing QM is useful. This doesn't mean that only one should be pursued but that our investment of effort should be related to the payoff.

It's amazing.
You are ofcourse right that there are better specced devices in this price band. And HMD is one of the better respected mobile brands. Two GB is also good enough for basic telephony (calls, messaging, video chats etc.) and for various kinds of "consumption" (music, youtube, browsing etc.). Many popular older apps can run fine on it too. Honestly, when Android 5 - 8 could run on 1 GB or less, on single or dual core cpus, quite well, I don't frankly understand how we've come to this point that we now need a new OS (Android Go) to run on "limited resources" devices that have more ram and cpu (cores) ...
I always bring this up to extremely woke people. I grew up at the poverty line in rural Minnesota with a blue collar truck driver father, divorced parents, in a trailer park. I don’t say this to get sympathy, I am proud I overcame it. But DEI and other race based (vs economically/financially based) affirmative action is just racism in a different outfit. Are the white people living below the poverty line all across America “privileged”? Certainly not, and as you said, on top of that they are immediately disqualified from so many types of aid. Imagine applying for college and seeing every other minority under the sun have scholarships specifically for them: women, black people, Asians, etc. White male from poverty? lol not you, you’re privileged. It’s ridiculous and it’s been going on since I was in college over 10 years ago.
> That entirely depends on whether one considers "woman" and "man" to be social identities that anyone of either sex can choose to adopt.

Yes, but debates over the meaning or usage of words are social/philosophical/political issues, not biological issues.

> Many people don't accept that belief, for a variety of reasons, such as viewing that belief as being based upon sexist stereotyping of women and men.

This claim seems questionable. As far as I can tell, the origin of the opposition is mainly religious, and it has come to be political as a consequence of the religious leanings of political parties.

> Instead, they understand "woman" and "man" to be the words used to describe, respectively, female and male people who have reached adulthood.

Yes, but it's unclear how a study of brain matter would change anyone's mind. After all, their definition of female and male always depended on genitals rather than brain composition.
No, we never did. The thought never crossed our minds.
This problem is simple to solve for most real world use cases. Don’t trust any facts from an LLM and use your own trusted source of information and RAG where it will give you citations

Think I'm starting to see why so many people immigrate to Europe. European labor laws and lifestyles are so reasonable. No wonder American life expectancy is so bad.
I would argue that it's right call:
1) it's in the world's best interest. I am running llama locally on laptop, and the ability to have the distilled world's knowledge at your fingertips will generate much much more value than what it takes.
2) it does not 'take' any value from the book creators. No one's going to 'not buy a book' because an LLM has been trained with its content (in contrast you might argue that you are likely to not buy a book because you downloaded it from libgen).

Copyright laws are not millennia-old ethical laws that everyone agrees on (like don't steal), they are a modern human construct that were created for the greater good (incentivize creation), and we should revisit them with new tech.
NO

When I was younger my dad paid us. When I had kids I did not. When we were having our first child I thought back and realized a few key points from my childhood:

Giving a child an allowance, and making them pay for their WANTS from the allowance is the cheapest financial education.

Being involved in their education is the best motivator for good grades. Getting money was nice, but knowing my parents cared about education drove me to care.

To be involved means spending time EVERYDAY talking about their school and homework. Asking if they have homework is better than nothing, ask 'what is the homework' is better. Discussing the homework is best.
It seems like a valid metric to pick on. Premium devices are refreshed early/short cycle their lifespans because they are purchased by customers with disposable income. Budget devices should be sold to last as that's what's important to the customers buying them.

As a counter though, I would say with 2gb of ram this device just won't be fast enough for most of its users in 3 years anyway; so although I find this a valid argument to make, a new issue pops up immediately (for me at least).

I consider forward references an anti-feature. I want any language I use to have the following property: if I append to the source file, I can't break previously correct code above the insertion point. Forward references both break this property _and_ requires multiple compiler passes.

More generally though, it's time to stick a fork in c. To me the only sane ways to use c are as a compilation target or for quick and dirty prototypes.

We can't make c better by adding to it. We need to let it die peacefully so its grandchildren may live.
They didn't, they emphasized it.

My setup is a smorgasbord of dotfiles and symlinks. It's been built up over 13 years, so it's very well seasoned and has served me well, but I've long been meaning to move to Nix to make my setup cleaner. The bad in this article isn't that bad, so now I'm amped even more to do this!
I wonder how much further stock valuations will be pushed up by excited AI bots - without any ties to company fundamentals :)

And I see an opportunity for a private company to “predict” what stocks the AI are going to buy next and provide this information to investors.

And then an opportunity to sell data to CEOs to tailor your earnings calls to AI’s ears.

… soon after, nothing but robots talking to robots …

No problem. We just get an AI to make that easier. Right?
"PhD Envy" is a real part of office politics outside of academia. Remember that the naysayers are just jockeying for their own status. On the one hand, you can ignore it. On the other, learning to manage it is a good starting point to navigating the social and political side of any career.

Also, this is HN, which revolves around an occupation -- computer programming -- that is unique in terms of having high demand while remaining flexible about how and where people learn their skills. Not all fields are that way.

I got a PhD in physics, in 1993, and have worked in industry since then. There are a couple of "negatives" that I still think are wroth pointing out:

1. PhD programs have very high attrition, and you bear most of the risk on your own shoulders. It's worth going in with eyes open, and knowing the risks. Getting out with your PhD may require some compromises along the way. I won't necessarily call them ethical compromises, but perhaps compromises to the (typically) idealistic views that many students start out with.

2. The little nub of specialized knowledge shown in TFA is your research, not your brain. You can do specialized research without becoming a specialized person if you want. This is a personal choice (academic freedom and all that). My dad, who also had a PhD and a good industry career, always told me to avoid hyper-specialization.

Don't forget to learn how to code, just in case. ;-)
Ask HN: Are indie devs safer than software engineers from being replaced by AI?
Perhaps indie devs might even benefit as AI gets better at coding?
Calling things what they are is talking about it. What you want is to enable one side and castigate the other for telling anything mildly bad about the one choose side. If many people are racists, yep that word will cover many people. There is nothing weird or wrong about it.

Latinos who voted for Trump did it because they are very conservative, have a thing against blacks/arabs and like Trumps personality. Effectively very similar reasons to why non latinos vote for Trump.

> Women whose rights were denied voted for him. Why?

Trump is a lot more popular among men then among women. That is the first thing. Second, yes there are women who deny some rights like abortion for women, that is not shocking new development or something.

> But the fact is that saying to a person that he, all his friends, family and community are evil and racist doesn't bring that person to your side. It pushes them further down that bad path.

Pretending racism is not racism and enabling racism and enabling it does not make these people less racist either. It makes you more like them and it makes middle more like them.

Indeed, what happens and happened is that their opinions are the ones primary being heard, those who oppose are mocked by those who want to be seen as enlightened. What happens is that their real goals are ignored untill they achieve them.
On the contrary, I believe this is a misinformation widely spread by non-technical people about their grit. They actually do some really interesting(definition may differ from yours) work and paces are very sane.

However, given their pay and other contractual limitations, it can be very attractive and fiercely competitive to land a job unless you are really good. Hence the the fake “vultures” rumor to gate keep.

P.S. Worked at one briefly and figured that I will become unemployable in regular market soon if I ever plan to leave… and not work in this industry anymore.
I don’t really care about the standard of living in India. It is of no concern for me. And the only reason I am commenting is because the linked company is what was brought up. You would be able to find other examples.

But, these positions are easily done by a highly skilled American workforce: Cloud Engineers, Lead Cloud Engineers, Cybersecurity Engineers. That’s what is being advertised.
I expect AI to be like any other tech: some fantastic uses that advance humanity and improve the world, some terrible uses that abuse, manipulate, oppress.

I don’t see anything in the tech that indicates a singular pattern that will be “good” or “bad”.
Any tips or advice are welcome lol

"They" is an interesting choice here. Two companies spun out of the wreckage of Microsoft's Nokia takeover: HMD and Jolla. HMD was Nokia's old hardware division, and they're making this device. Jolla was the software division, and they're making Sailfish.

The IPv6 address space is so huge, I, as an individual, was able to get a /44 no questions asked. Back in the 90's, I was able to get a IPv4 /24, no questions asked.
Okay but you can’t rely blame this on DEI or racism for sure. Plenty of people have had the same experience (myself included) with tons of companies and their hiring processes, it’s not like being given unfair conditions in interviews definitively amounts to racism or Microsoft being performatively woke. It happens to everyone. Even your anecdotal experience with the other companies being “better” is just that, random chance. I’ve had great interviews and bad ones, and 99% of the time all it comes down to is the mood of the interviewer and how much they like me personally.

I've been doing a deep-dive in the past few weeks of papers and data sets regarding to rotation curves, mass densities etc. (SPARC, papers describing the rotation curves of various dwarf galaxies etc). The impression I get is that most of the authors are not critical of a CDM dark matter halo explaining rotation curve data. The papers I'm reading span from ~1990 to present.

That's a way of looking at it. Another way is looking at it inwardly, as a journey of self. Personally, a PhD for me was being punched in the face every morning (i.e., experiment failed) for years, yet getting up to try again.

It's the archetypal hero's journey where you dive into the deepest darkness, discover yourself, and emerge triumphant.

At the end, you get a hat.

> Americans tend to be enthusiastic about their company mission - in the extreme, believing that they’re saving the world

I would explain this as commitment signaling. I don’t know if they really believe it, but they want to show they are part of the team and the talking points.

Yes, they licensed it to HMD. Lol
Extremely misleading citation.

Take out trademark infringement, and you have only 1 prosecution per year per 700,000 people.

I wouldn't bet against this. Whether it's Ring attention, Mamba layers or online fine tuning, I assume this technical challenge will get conquered sooner rather than later. Gemini are getting good results on needle in a haystack with 1M context length.

HMD was founded by a bunch of ex-Nokia people. They're based in Finland, like Nokia. I assume plenty ex-Nokia people work there now, would love to know how true this is if anyone knows.

Definitely, large war chest and lots of runway always helps. Also high margin may be good or bad but high revenue per employee(i.e. consulting firms in government, defense, finance, energy etc. sectors) are the most human friendly places to work at.
> Game publisher Tencent

Tencent is not a game publisher, while it does have a games division which publishes video games, that is one thing it does, not all of them.

Tencent is a Chinese multinational company that is the largest video games vendor and is also among the largest social media, venture capital, and investment corporations.
It also owns the Chinese social media app WeChat.
You raise a fair point. But I think it still aligns with what I was going for, the millions of years in evolution are not more data on the same system but the system itself changing to be able to cope with limited data and novel scenarios.

Its also not given or constant, modern humans are super young in the evolutionary scale and very different even if very similar from other animals. Funny enough we might have cracked the difference (language processing) but are still very far in the rest for AGI.

That's all essentially true, but it doesn't necessarily mean that there's a quantum field that matches the properties needed to explain the phenomena dark matter is supposed to explain.

It just means that it's plausible, and wouldn't be surprising, if there were such a field.
For every one LLM user, there are hundreds if not thousands of people visiting WordPress sites. WordPress is unimaginably ubiquitous. When you're that popular, making your software more energy efficient has an actual, real life impact (even if other things are using lots of energy).

I will add: Trump did not won by being nice and accommodating to leftists. Trump won by being accusatory and aggressive. Trump won by treating "suckers" badly.
