I don't understand your first question at all, but tiktok lets you reset your algorithm and try again.

Be diligent about not spending too much time watching something if it's not what you want your algo to be, sometimes I can get in loops where I watch something because I'm confused by it and then just get a lot of confusing content.
Drupal Launches Game-Changing CMS Platform
I've been researching Open Source alternatives to WordPress, and apparently Drupal just today released a new variant with modules pre-loaded to cater to marketers considering a similar jump.

Anyone looking at this for their projects?
Ask HN: Will clever prompting become less important as AI improves?
If so, why do some people believe prompting is an important skill to learn?
I think you're talking past each other. Yes, something happened. The website has a particular vision about what the root cause was (moving off the gold standard), and some people here disagree with it. That website is often quoted by gold and (even more often) bitcoin enthusiasts. In this context the exact year is important because it's fundamental to the thesis the website is trying to make.

Btw. if you don't believe this is what the site is about, check the quote at the bottom of a logo of the merch store.
I think the interesting bit in this article is that "pedestrian scramble" is sort of the assumed default at a 4-way stop though the safety of that relies on drivers noticing Stop signs and also not treating them as Yield signs (and also not recognizing that Yield implies pedestrians, too). Why isn't it the default in the version of this intersection with lights instead of just stop signs? Why is it pedestrians have to "beg" for the scramble and cars just wait for a timer? Could this be red at all lanes by default and rely on something like weight sensors instead?

(I'm also amused at the idea of making a beg button for cars. Maybe make cars have to text a phone number to beg the light the change. If cars had less annoying to the neighborhood horns you could have "horn recognition" and use the horn as a universal button.)
SpaceX is also like 99% of all launches, so…
Doing it on device would require too much data, and TEEs have side-channel vulnerabilities making it difficult to deploy securely in prod.
> too slow for four year election cycles.

Maybe that's the problem: that education is so politicized. Yet another reason people opt to homeschool.

(For those of you who object so strenuously here to homeschooling, suppose MAGA were to remake public education they way they want it to be. Would you then not seriously consider homeschooling? I bet y'all would.)
The south indian ocean is the re-entry site for the 2nd stage of their next starship flight test, which will (should) re-enter in one piece so the risk of falling debris is certainly not trivial and unfortunately the size of the hazard region is also not trivial.

They've rescheduled a few times now and each time operators flying in this region have to shuffle things around.
Yeah, it's been kinda interesting to see the effect of Nuenki actually.

I haven't been doing much proper German studying for a while - partially because I've been focused on Nuenki. However, I've been getting into it again recently, and I'm going to go to a language exchange.

There are a lot of sentences I can intuitively just sorta understand, even if I might not be able to tell you what a certain word or grammatical feature is. I think it's quite useful for getting you over the mental block of "ah I don't follow it" to getting the gist. I wanted to find something on the German Wikipedia a week ago, and I was able to navigate it as if it were all in English - even though, if you asked me what a specific word meant, I probably wouldn't know.

You definitely need to pair it with something with more active recall, though. My passive vocabulary is much larger than my active one after this break.
Yes, because real narrator/actors are rolling in the dough. Let's kill one more profession with trash.
Can someone explain to me how they can keep the price of the chip production the same in the US compared to Taiwan?

Labour, especially specialized labour, is a lot more expensive in the US.
Do you have thoughts on allowing messaging but making it clear you have access to those same messaging accounts? E.g you have a backup iPhone signed into the same iCloud account as the kid and occasionally scroll through messages to check for bad stuff?
Does it matter what my reason for the preference is? The fact of the matter is that when I have to commute, my performance suffers. That alone should be a big reason for corporations to consider their decisions carefully, because last time my bosses indicated anything close to moving us in we collectively said 'fine, but you will not see us doing the extra you are used to'( edit: and they backed off, because some stuff need to be done). But the companies want 100% in person, 100% after work, bringing your whole self-in, but not while being offensive, but also being brand ambassador, but not in a way that alienates anyone..

What is my reason..
That would depend on your editor's implementation.
Grokking at the Edge of Numerical Stability
yeah i see the argument, and its an important skillset to be able to deal with chaos/bullies but this other part of me wonders whether dealing with bullying early on is healthy at all?

to be clear, i do believe that tough personalities that aren't straight up bullying can still happen inside of a group homeschooled environment.
It's called REDnote—小红书国际版 in the Google Play store. That's the exact way it is currently listed.
To heavily paraphrase a short of stature comedian: Childhood and School is basically jail. You're confined with a bunch of violent sociopaths, have minimal agency over what you do everyday, spend most of your free time trying to smoke weed out of improvised pipes, and the greatest reward you can obtain is like a bag of Doritos.
Yes and also, these parts are not made for pristine reentry, it's very likely they'll split up in different parts. How do you make sure every part has a transponder and it doesn't burn up?
Meta to Cut 5% of Staff as Mark Zuckerberg Says He Will 'Raise the Bar'
> From that logic you should block every single corporate blog out there.

I considered this previously. I feel like the web would be a vastly improved experience if you just blocked everything affiliated with a corporation as opposed to a university, nonprofit, or a personal site.
It's a surprisingly convenient unit of measurement. Rainfall and irrigation typically are 0-1m per year, so if you have a 10acre farm you need 10acre-m of water to grow... Though, can't mix units, that would be silly :).
Also since we are mentioning Google, they had some interesting to say in one of their books [0]:

"Ratings, although an important way to measure performance during a specific period, are not predictive of future performance and should not be used to gauge readiness for a future role or qualify an internal candidate for a different team. (They can, however, be used to evaluate whether an employee is properly or improperly slotted on their current team; therefore, they can provide an opportunity to evaluate how to better support an internal candidate moving forward.)"

That could very well be what the quantum uncertainty principal is, floating point non deterministic errors. It also could just be drawing comparisons among different problem domains.
>When you file an abuse ticket with CF, CF takes the route of "oh we are only routing the data and content, not hosting it" and will refuse to terminate the CF accounts of someone being malicious. Threat actors know this which is why so many use em.

Their abuse page says they forward abuse tickets to the origin hosting provider. The origin hosting provider could ignore your tickets, but I don't see how that's any different than if they didn't use cloudflare to begin with.
NDEA: A new intelligence science lab founded by François Chollet and Mike Knoop
Thank you.

As someone who works in cybersecurity and works closely with our developers, a lot of them tend to inherently trust third-party code with no auditing of the supply chain. I am always fighting that while yes, we don't need to reinvent the wheel and libraries/packages are important, our organzation and developers need to be aware of what we are bringing into our network and our codebase.
Usually they try to tailor the job description very specifically to the PERM person's skills, and they're allowed to discriminate based on someone not having a specific skill. You need to tick all the boxes in order to not get disqualified or to disqualify the PERM candidate.

The job description may still have some generic text about how we don't expect you to have everything; that's gobbledygook, ignore it. You need to have everything. If a job description looks too specific, it may be a PERM job post.

I don't think there is a clear cut way to avoid it. Probably the best way to get around it is referrals; people might know the hiring manager and know if the req is real.
Also British, although i was living abroad when I started home educating (the correct term in UK law, and more accurate because the whole point is that its not HE).

> It took becoming an adult to learn for myself that I enjoyed learning. My school was not learning

This is why I stuck with home educating up to GCSEs. I wanted my kids to enjoy learning and they do. They have a very wide range of interests and good academic results and IMO are better prepared for A levels and university than they would have been at school (even really good schools).

> find it hard to think of school as anything more than forced internment for children while their parents go to work,

This is why we have so much after school stuff and breakfast clubs. Yes, it means some kids get fed in the morning, but a lot of them seem to get given junk food.

> for those saying it was good for socialisation with other children

IMO home education is better for socialisation. What skills do you learn from meeting the same group of people your own age in the same place everyday? My kids had more time to do things by themselves (anything from going to a shop to taking a bus to meet up with a friend). They did (between them) guides, dance, sea cadets, sailing, D & D, art classes, singing classes piano classes, drama, stage fighting and more. They had both remote (which develops a useful skill set these days) and face to face tutors at for some GCSE subjects. it would be really hard for kids tied by school hours plus home work to do as much.

> the endless chasing of metrics has made even the tiniest amount of joy that could exist in school- Non-existent.

The chasing of metrics has been a disaster. My younger daughter is at sixth form college for A levels and it has deteriorated since her older sister went there. it is still good but they have become a lot more rigid and I feel they are less focused on students best interests and more on the metrics.

I went to one of the best schools in the UK (consistently top 10 academically), with no bullying problems, no corporal punishment (it had abolished it in Victorian times IIRC), excellent facilities - and I still think my kids had a better education than I did
> we'd specify ± (or separate lower/upper tolerances in some situations)

> we calculated those ± values using the chain rule/uncertainty propagation

Yes, that's common in detailed engineering documents. It still doesn't change the fact if I ask for 3.000 and you give me 3.001 I'm not going to consider that in-spec despite not giving a ±. It's assumed if I wrote it out to that decimal point I'm caring about that level of precision.

> Using decimal points to indicate uncertainty was not a thing I believe I did after high school

Well, I'd imagine since the topic of lesson was understanding whole numbers at a basic level this was probably a high school or lower class, probably more like elementary or middle school. You know, in that time when you did use decimal places to indicate precision. This person wasn't talking about losing points at their engineering job.
That's "Part 4" I believe:

Oh, sorry if I overreacted. I'm sensitive on this point because I want to protect accounts like yours and I know how strong the forces are that push them towards provocation, then flamewar.

By "accounts like yours" I mean ones that express minority views on any divisive topic. That is valuable to the community but, unfortunately, there is a lot of pressure on anyone who wants to comment that way, and it often doesn't go very well. We've seen this over and over.

I wrote a longer reply to you about this here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42714563. Just wanted to add some context.
This seems way off. Medical advancements have grown significantly since the 90s. Minimally invasive surgery was just starting. We've made huge progress at eradicating several diseases. HIV treatment and prevention has advanced leaps and bounds. Outside the US traffic fatalities dropped significantly (somehow in the US they went back up). In general the level of assistance and safety features you get in a modern car would have blown everyone's mind in the 90s. Fuel efficiency is way up. Induction stoves are so much better than electric stoves from the 90s without messing up your house's air like a gas stove. Medical imaging has made incredible breakthroughs. Innovations in shipping and logistics have enabled us to get more interesting food items like third wave coffee. We can watch the movies and tv shows we want and when we want rather than VHS recordings or whatever is on tv right now. Due to higher resolution we can actually have sports broadcasts with useful data. Many houses now have solar cells and batteries and pay little or nothing for their electricity. Amenities in houses are much nicer now.

I'm sure I could go on and on with this for much longer. It's easy to not see our progress over time even though it's tremendous.
I wonder if Factorio multiplayer could be used to play with an AI companion? Here is what I am thinking:

Computer 1 - Human

Computer 2 - Claude Computer Use or other controlling the other

A chat interface or voice interface (Whisper Speech to Text) for Human to feed instructions to Computer 2?

Amazing benefits of doing this:

- infinitely scalable

- could let agents continue to implement strategy and unblock themselves without needing constant intervention
Read some of the many stories out there about the NSA, please. They have backdoors into internet infrastructure. If any country is a threat to information security, it’s the USA.
Two hours before you posted this there was already an admission from me in a sister comment that I came across too judgy and someone else made the point I tried better than myself - not sure how much penitence I need to do but sorry again :)
I was wondering the same thing. I couldn't find any research on what increased baseline norepinephrine does to the pulses. I can see it being detrimental (pulses don't work as well) or neutral (brain adjusts to the new baseline).
That actually sounds like a good way to teach kids how to deal with others. Just figure it out, in a safe environment with minimal consequences and some guard rails. I wouldn't expect a teacher to teach kids how to socialize, especially on an individual level, but rather to step in when necessary. Being in a big group of people you may not like is pretty much a description of life, and the goal is to learn to function and even thrive in that environment. I support home schooling too, but I don't think there's anything about it that naturally lends itself to learning this skill. Many homeschoolers manage it, but it takes extra work, whereas being in 'gen pop' teaches it as a side effect.

> If DJI was from the EU there would not even be a discussion.

1. of course there'll be no 'national security risks' because EU is an ally, and the US is spying on it

2. even though, troubles come to US's allies sometimes, like what Alstom and ASML met

3. EU products are mostly less compatible, overall, it cannot challenge the position where the US holds in the global value chain, so pose less
of threat
This will fail on most inputs
> Privately held ByteDance is about 60% owned by institutional investors such as BlackRock and General Atlantic, while its founders and employees own 20% each. It has more than 7,000 employees in the United States

That’s probably a very stupid question, but is how this is a Chinese company when 60% are owned by American funds?
I've been looking for something like that at my company, but we have really strict security guidelines.
How is this not LSD for LLMs?
Personally, I don't think the term "modern JavaScript" makes much sense - it's just a nice-sounding but mostly meaningless buzzword, but I can guess the reason about the disagreement.

Alpine and HTMX are entirely different architectural approach to script webpages, as compared to React/Vue/Svelte/Elm/... approach to build SPA webapps. And the latter approach was very frequently called "modern JavaScript" (and that's why I think it's more of a buzzword now, and less of an actually meaningful term).
I think there are two assumptions embedded in the parent comment that I think you're ignoring:

1) The people who are on to bigger and better things are in fact vanishingly rare. Like, yes, Bill Gates dropped out of college, but he dropped out of Harvard, not Evergreen Community College. He wouldn't have been there in the first place if he wasn't already capable of some big things.

2) A really healthy society, with really good schools, would provide a path for those who can't hack it. Its almost definitionally not a good school if the process exposes some deficiencies, then just gives up. Like "well, it turns out your dyslexic, here's your cardboard box and begging pan" sounds like a bad school.
This is fascinating, I'm curious -- do you find yourself generally thinking in this way when using TikTok? Do you find that your peers that use TikTok do something similar?

This is just completely foreign to how I consume media. The idea that I need to try and "trick" an algorithm into showing me what I want is just completely unappealing. I'd much rather go somewhere else and actively seek out the content that I want, rather than trying to fight a system that seems like it would prefer me to be a passive consumer.

"Passive" not in the sense that I shouldn't be engaged, clearly, as the algorithm rewards engagement. But passive in the sense that I should not be seeking out what I want to see, I should just be reactive based on what I am shown, and then the platform will decide from that what I really want.

Like, no, this just makes me recoil completely. Why would I want to bother with that?
Perhaps some sort of Fediverse Google Docs/Sheets equivalent? Where each user can host their own copy (if they want) and the pub/sub algorithm ensures that it's all eventually consistent, if higher latency than something inherently centralized like Google?
Some of this is just preference at the end of the day.

I find modern Typescript to be utter spaghetti and arguably worse at the points you’ve listed here.
I’m just reflecting, I have scars on my hands and arms from power tool accidents, misuse. I wonder what scars are on my psyche from device use? Certainly some. Harder to pinpoint
https://log.schemescape.com/posts/programming-languages/comp...

"A good way to discourage me from testing out your software is to require a gigabyte (or more) download (and no, providing an installer that obscures the massive download is not a solution).

The chief offender of inexplicably enormous downloads is, unfortunately, anything related to compiling software for Windows. Want to use the free edition of Microsoft Visual C? That will be at least 3 GB. How about a more modern language like C#? That's 5 GB. Even non-Visual Studio C/C++ compilers tend to be hundreds of megabytes."

The Microsoft practice of burying relatively small executables and libraries inside mega- and now giga- sized downloads dates back to at least the early 90s.
the cloud offers unlimited scalability...this is an example of why it makes no sense, unlimited scalability for what, a DOS attack? ill let my site stay down thank you very much
For a strict enough definition of "conclusive," there is never conclusive evidence that something doesn't exist.

On top of that, if we find something that behaves nothing like what people meant when they said aether, then is it really aether?
That's cool, will it work with my Hunyuan workflow? I've only been using Comfy locally so far, but I can't get good quality with 24GB of VRAM.
> the Russian Revolution is The Worst Thing That Ever Happened,

Worse than the war that spawned it, where 20 million people died over absolutely nothing in four years, and then when it resumed, another 70 million (with an unprecedented attempt at industrial extermination of an entire group of people thrown in for good measure)?

Worse than any of the other globe-spanning empires that plunged their subjects into decades and centuries of slavery and repression?

The Soviet empire, at its worst, only had 400 million people - a mere ten percent of the world's population - in thrall.

The world's history been awash in blood spilled by war, aristocracy and autocracy, imperialism and colonialism. It's rather hard to point at one of the middling empires and go - that one, right there, is definitely the worst thing in history.
It sounds like they were complying with a Russian law?
I don't think the "noble savage" idea applies in this case. The problem of the noble savage idea is that it portrays indigenous people as simple, pure, and uncorrupted, while overlooking that indigenous people are complex just like non-indigenous people.

It's no myth that the Haudenosaunee and other indigenous people had sophisticated governments that could have inspired the writers of the US Constitution. The Haudenosaunee's democracy-ish form of government extends back probably a thousand years. The people who wrote the US Constitution had contact with these people. The exact extent to which this shaped the Constitution is up for debate, of course.

Yes, the US government draws from European roots too. I hope my kids learn about both the Magna Carta and the Great Law of Peace.
