it could be anything that just allows social connection between people that are doing the same job in the same geographic region but are largely invisible to one another.

i'd try not to be prescriptive about it, but it could cover anything from a light 'random chat' channel to vent about petty workplace annoyances, 'tips and tricks' for success, or more serious channels to talk about workplace safety/conditions/unionization
While the detection area of the cloudflare attack is bigger I think the main problem here is that its much easier to get access to it than to cellphone towers.
Sure, but in this particular case he's not even being selfish.
> Maybe the standard should be "less false than the average human produced work."

I don't think so. Lots of people blindly trust LLMs more than they trust the average human, probably for bad reasons (including laziness and over-reliance on technology).

Given that reality, it's irresponsible to make LLMs that don't reach a much better standard, since it encourages people to misinform themselves.

I tried searching for "#democrats" on my own Instagram account, and I can confirm it's returning no results. Meta issued a statement saying this was a bug, and some people are saying it's fixed, but it's still broken for me at the time of posting this comment.

My Facebook account is not following Trump or Vance. The article mentioned a theory that some people were following the "POTUS" account, which changed hands; I was never following the "POTUS" account. That seems plausible to me.
Maybe we should indeed develop different words and taxonomy to differentiate the methods in different fields. Calling anything a "Science" brings an aura of seriousness, which doesn't necessarily exists, it's a way to manipulate our minds to make us believe it is as rigorous as physics and maths
Math also generates far more unprovables, thus is it dominated by faith based undertones?

I tend to avoid that one because of the tokenization aspect. This popular one is a bit better:

"Alice has N brothers and she also has M sisters. How many sisters does Alice's brother have?"

The 7b one messed it up first try:

>Each of Alice's brothers has \(\boxed{M-1}\) sisters.

Trying again:

>Each of Alice's brothers has \(\boxed{M}\) sisters.

Also wrong. Again:

>\[
>\boxed{M + 1}
>\]

Finally a right answer, took a few attempts though.
Having grown up nearby, there is a strong sense of roots people have out there, as well as a strong preference for local-made everything. Think of it as a rural, fairly well-educated anti-Walmart energy. It may be hard to reprodu e that environment and even harder to start something like that up once alternatives are already available.
Academia is where research happens.

Employers have no incentive to do research that would force them to spend more on employee wellness. I worked on enough team health surveys to know leadership has no interest in collecting feedback about the big known complaints that they aren't interested in addressing. They only want to hear about the small unimportant things that could help morale to cope with the big issues (unless they are forced to investigate serious workplace injuries, unsustainable churn/absenteeism or productivity issues)

That said employers/HR publish a lot of blog spam about how burnout is really due to employe's lack of self care.

Just arguing for GP. It may be post hoc; but other cultures did not have such trouble with STDs. England, as a naval power, was expected to have such a problem and thus the puritan's advice also had practical benefit.
Ah yes, go, a language created by one of the most powerful modern institutions. Its rules and dogma are pretty strict and it’s hard to change them without being in the inner circle. Some people on the outside obsess over the language and sing praises over the rules it imposes while others spend their days endlessly complaining about them.

This would be a perfect language to represent Christianity.
I'd say there are deeper lessons:

1) Talk to your users and get feedback on mock-ups before you burn time building.

2) From those discussions, Identify who can be early champions for you and help you get the word out to others.
The point is precisely that you don’t need a social networking platform to do something meaningful.
I think you've got cause and effect backwards. Employers used to offer incentives to stay in a company and grow organically. They decided that was no longer going to be the deal. So they got the current system. There was never some sudden eureka moment when the secret engineers club decided they wanted to have a super stressful life event every few years just to keep up with inflation.

It seems to me that a key requirement for this attack is that both the attacker and the victim load the same link, that is, that the attacker knows the URL the victim is going to load. If Signal/Discord created a different link to be given to the victim, and never shared it with the attacker, this attack wouldn't work.

That could be as simple as adding some extra pseudo-random parameters to the URL which will be ignored by the origin (but honored by the caches), or as complex as creating a completely separate URL for the receiver of the message, and somehow giving it to the receiver without giving it to the sender (easy on Discord, harder on Signal due to its end-to-end nature).
How do we know the truthfulness of the original text that was written hundreds of years after the words were originally spoken?
Glad to see self awareness is instilled by the academic process.
Not really. It's only true if the bits are uncorrelated, and you can acquire additional bits of information. I don't see how you can go from "this guy on the internet lives near Albuquerque, New Mexico" to "this guy is Walter Hartwell White, and lives at 308 Negra Arroyo Lane, Albuquerque, New Mexico, 87104" without massive opsec failures.
Note about GitHub Windows Actions runners: I think I understand what is wrong with them, though it's somewhat conjecture since I don't actually know how it works internally.

It looks like the free CI runners have C: drive pointing to a disk that is restored from a snapshot, but often times it hasn't finished restoring the entire snapshot by the time your workflow runs, so IO can be very slow, even if you don't need to read from the still-frozen parts of the disk. Some software ran inside workflows will do heavy R/W on C: drive, but it's better to move anything that will be written to disk, e.g. caches, to D: if possible. This often leads to much better performance with I/O and more predictable runtimes, particularly when there isn't a lot of actual compute to do.
Man, I wanted to get the garmin dive computer so bad. It's got so many awesome features, it's just priced out of my budget. Wound up going with the peregrine from shearwater, which was about half the price, but does way less than the garmin.

Another place they shine is for bikes. Their radar system that integrates with a bike computer is absolutely groundbreaking. It's so fantastic to be able to know when a car is coming up behind you without having to turn your head and possibly lose balance, it's such a great safety feature.
Cheap money seems to have dried up, so maybe more old-school approaches wouldn’t get sniped by VC-funded startups.
The RCTs that validate your assertion (or mine) when comparing reparative therapy and affirmation do not exist. All that we have to rely on now is the overwhelming consensus among medical and mental health professionals, and that consensus appears to exist among major reputable bodies worldwide, and is based on their many decades of collective clinical experience and research.

I understand your perspective - in a different world without ethical qualms or risk of harm we could conduct those studies and maybe have better, more conclusive answers. What I am suggesting is that we have the data and research that we have. While you have chosen to draw a line at requiring randomized controlled trials to convince you that a certain outcome is the right one, there is an abundance of research and clinical data that does exist endorsing affirmation of gender identity, and we can explore some of it, if you like.

> In all other cases, if someone's mental conception of themselves was not aligned with the biological reality of their self, we would say the default is that the person should try to adjust their mental conception.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "other cases" that are directly comparable with gender dysphoria, and can you find some studies that support the effectiveness of this approach? Gender dysphoria seems pretty unique from a clinical perspective despite a common thread it may have with other conditions.

> I do not have a gender identity and I do not have a gender. I a sex and I have an identity as a sexed being.

I think it's great that you are very clear on your role in society when it comes to what side of the biological sex binary you are on. It's a luxury to not have to be concerned with it, but not everyone has that luxury.

> It's actually really difficult for me to understand how a person's fundamental well-being is intrinsically and immalleably tied to names and clothing.

What you are saying here is that "this is my experience and I do not understand why everyone else does not have the same experience". Do you not see a problem with that? You can have your opinion and that's fine. Other people do not have to share your opinion or approach the world in the same way.

You appear to start from your biology and work backwards, as if the mind does not exist. Others would suggest that you and your biology do not even exist without the conscious mind making them real. Thus, the power of the conscious mind is actually more critical to this whole equation than whatever your biology is.

Stop thinking about your own experience for 5 minutes and think about the experiences of other people and where they might be coming from based on their own perception, experience and biological realities - including the biology of what goes on in the brain!
Things have reached a point that whenever I see "Can AI do X" or "Is AI good at Y", my brain just instantly goes NO. It cannot. NO, it's not good at that. And NO, you shouldn't use it for X. If it could, you would put it in your title. There's probably a term for this kind of weasly almost-statement disguised as honest inquiry that has escaped me.

That is my conclusion yes.
UK probably made that mistake first by moving lots of manufacturing to their colonies, like North America and later the US. The UK said the same thing the western world said about China: they built low-level low-quality stuff, and we focused on the high-value manufacturing. But guess what? Smart people are everywhere, and ambitious people will not build "low-quality stuff" forever. Sooner or later, those who sweat on factory floors will have more know-how than those who enjoy draw boxes in a cushy office. Indeed, those who know only how to draw boxes will soon find that even their boxes, no matter how pretty, will not be relevant.

Show HN: Chart of VCs Success Rate
Hey HN,

I’ve been curious about how different VCs stack up in terms of the number of investments they’ve made versus the number of exits (acquisitions, IPOs, etc.) they’ve seen. To satisfy that curiosity—and hopefully share something useful—I created a simple chart that compares VCs’ total investments against their exits.

Why I built this:

I was looking for a quick visual snapshot of which firms are most active and how many of their deals have led to notable exits.

While it’s not a definitive measure of a VC’s success, it’s still an interesting proxy, especially for anyone researching the track records of various funds.

The writing was somewhat interesting until this:

> I found myself confronting the rise of bans on books that discuss gender identity and sexuality. Today, sexual education in public schools grows increasingly under threat in places like Florida

Please. There are no bans on books discussing such matters. You can purchase them from Amazon and other booksellers, while in 19th century England there were civil and criminal penalties for book publishers for the mere act of publishing. That's quite different. Public schools may ban books only for their own institutions, never for the general public. Any "school ban" does not prevent any parent righteously concerned with censorship to provide their child a copy of such banned book.

Clever finding but the title does no justice to the actual attack. Even a bare minimum threat model requires a user to use VPN or Tor which completely eliminates your "0day". Signal rightfully declined your report because it's only job is to provide secure communication

The opposite can also be true, you know it is a bad work situation and you are going to burn out but you can't afford to leave. Not that you want to stay, you don't even want that promotion anymore but that you can't go elsewhere. Besides, if alternative employers are equally bad anyway, you may as well burn out in a familiar place and not take on the extra stress of onboarding in a new role.

I burn out at a 6 figures flexible job, while my friends burn out at minimum wage jobs where they have to report bathroom breaks by the minute. How can I complain about my burnout-inducing work conditions?

What could go wrong?
I can understand complaining about cynicism, but it's dishonest to pretend it's not coming from a real place. All the complaints people are voicing elsewhere in this thread are true:

- it's true that you will get jack squat if you're employee #4 or later (and in the process you'll work more hours with less job security than at a FAANG)

- it's true that the startup scene has delivered basically nothing of real value to the economy in the last fifteen years: it has all been regulatory arbitrage, intrusive ad-tech, financial engineering, and, of course, shitcoins

- it's true that the people at the top turned out to be amoral psychopaths who practically tripped over themselves to kiss the ring when authoritarianism arrived and their talk about improving the world was hot air

If you're going to complain about the cynicism, you should at least respond to the above instead of pretending it's just grumps wanting to ruin everyone's fun.

> I guess you get used to it but having to charge my watch every day would drive me mad.

The upside of the small battery capacity is a relatively fast charge time. If you put a watch charger in your bathroom you could put your watch on the charger when you go in for a shower and it'll be charged by the time you're finished showering, getting dressed, etc. I find it's a time that I have my watch off anyway, so it's not something that interferes with my daily use in any way. YMMV obviously, and after a few years when the battery starts holding less of a charge you may find a weirder time spacing that becomes irritating at times, but it's worked for me for years.
>The real-world application (and potential danger) is when this data is combined with other data.
