Why do you care how they trained the model? If OAI can train on copyrighted material, then morally, I see no problem with others training on their outputs too.

For what it's worth, even XAI's chatbot referred to itself as being trained by OAI, simply due to the amount of ChatGPT content available on the web.
A lot of Spanish property buyers (I'd go so far as to say the majority) are Dutch and German (both in the EU) so I'm not sure who this idea is supposed to be helping?
I’m a citizen of an EU country that meets the Visa Waiver criteria. I’m working for a startup based in the USA. I’m one of the earliest employees, hence a great asset to the company. I’m considering emigrating sometime in the future but I’m unsure what needs to happen to enable it. Is a company-sponsored visa the only option? How inclined are startup founders to sponsor work visas? I’m convinced this is not attainable now, we’ve got a product to build, I’m only speculating for “when we make it”. Separately, how are startup employees treated when it comes to trying to convert the work visa to a green card? The definitions for EB-1, EB-2 are very interpretable. Thank you!
thanks, i appreciate the link and will give it a listen.

I remember getting notified that bike race results were posted by twitter. My phone didn't support apps. This seemed like such a cool use case. I understood that better than any of the subsequent iterations of twitter. I never learned the syntax of the messages or how to navigate the app. It all felt foreign.

But pushing a message to a group of people that manage their own subscription via SMS was golden for a minute.
This is mostly how I indent my code. I don't know why so many people hate it. We have huge screens and spacing conveys structure so I use spacing when appropriate, like a ')' in its own line. I work in a *very* small team though and I write most of the code.
Yup, P1S does as well. Well, did.
Any advice for online forum operators regarding the UK Online Safety Act taking effect in March?
You should have finished reading PG's essay.

It's really quite narrowly scoped. There's no indication I could see that he doesn't still hold the same basically liberal politics (he included explicit disclaimers, for all the good that did); he might still be fine with transgender identity. He just wanted to talk about how the particular loudmouth brand of annoying leftist came to prominence. He even had a decent definition of them beyond "leftist I don't like", and put them in a broader context.

Even in the HN thread on the essay, it felt like hardly anyone actually read and understood it, just brought their own assumptions and intellectual allergies and let them run wild. It would be great if people could discuss these issues rationally, but the vast majority can't. Everyone is on a hair trigger.
Assuming the unstated requirement that you want your cron job to only run once per day, scheduling for 3 am is not a software problem. It's a lack of understanding by the person problem. By definition times around the time change can occur twice or not at all. Also, in the US 3am would never be a problem as the time changes at 2 am.

Also, naming things, cache coherency, and off by one errors are the two hardest problems in computer science.
Were they maybe just wanna-be volunteers that were bringing an extra engine down to help and didn't know the formal process to volunteer for something like that? Sounds like the news has no evidence of actual malevolence, so is it fair to give them the benefit of the doubt here?
This feels like a pretty shallow reading of the article and you've fallen into the trap - described in the article itself - that "woke" is "some left-wing thing that I don't like". Whatever your views on trans issues, I think this article deserves a more thoughtful answer.
> I guess timekeeping is relatively easy...... would imagine even a standard quartz movement would be accurate enough.

Good Lord! How wrong can you get!

Very precise timing (often taken from GNSS for convenience) is needed for much of the modern word, from IP, cellular and DAB networks, to AC phase matching the electrical mains grid. Quartz clocks are nowhere near accurate enough for these purposes.

This government report makes very sobering reading: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/satellite-derived...

TLDR: Our dependence on GNSS for timing almost dwarfs that for navigation. And we urgently need to consider using backups (be that local atomic clocks, or long wave time signals).
The US presidency fully devolved into a mafia this time around, no more mincing words or operating behind the scenes. Just like a mafia don demands, all fealty should be in public and fully subservient, no half measures.

Till now, commenting or criticizing someone was fair game, not anymore. Musk and trump have shown they can petty and vindictive. So no more commenting in public too. Not sure what this does to the press. Over time people will be trained to think free press is bad too.
Restricting tech exports is not the same thing as the government taking control of a company.
Yeah it's just decent strategy on their part (I hate to say). Even if they don't profit directly off of the TikTok deal they look like absolute bosses for being able to "give" Americans what they wanted all along.

I always thought this was up there with "monads are like burritos" in terms of how it makes things more complicated instead of simplifying them. Maybe that's just my old ass, and kids would appreciate it more. When I was a kid one of my teachers referred to the > and < symbols as "alligator mouths" and said "Just remember the alligator mouth eats the bigger number." Helped me keep those symbols straight for years.
I feel this a lot, not so much from the perspective of someone that belongs to a formerly "protected" group, but came into tech at the height of the tech revenge-of-the-nerds style "zeitgeist" in the early 2010's to 2015, around the same time he mentions being involved in startups. My first job was a startup, with a bunch of students and a professor at my alma mater. We failed miserably - not in the way I had envisioned, but because of just basic VC funded stuff. We were a $20 million company with half a dozen of us, which would have been great for any of us, even our founders - but the VC's wanted a $200 million company. Poof.

That put a bitter taste in my mouth that has gotten more bitter when the "promise" of a society led by technocrats has yielded a barrage of increasingly shitty and invasive products that don't provide any additional utility to anyone except the people who stand to profit from them. It's exhausting, extremely depressing, and if I had to do it again I probably would have avoided tech, as much as I like what I do - I feel a deep sense of shame sometimes at the state of how it's gone.
The EB-5 is still an option although the process largely depends on the regional center/entity that you are going through and requires that you do real due diligence like you would any major investment. The EB-5 is also an area that at various times has been shut down or delayed because of government concerns about fraud and criminal activity.

Yeah, so, any chance you could do a monthly-or-so post that explains, in legal terms (of course!) why referring to an entire, diverse bunch of people as "H1Bs" (which, as you know, is just a visa class and pretty much, as you also know, the only path to legally entering the US as an immigrant without family ties or, well, the future-Head-Guy-or-one-of-his-cronies fancying you) is, like, a crime against humanity?

Because that has always been a trope amongst HN commenters (a large subset of which is supposed to be future HN founders), and it bothers me. A lot.

It's complicated isn't it? A business doesn't care about you. It doesn't because it can't. Business doesn't have thoughts and feelings, business is clinical. Business is nothing more than the collection of processed and systems crafted to work together, facilitating the exchange of value between 2 parties. The problem is with the 2 parties part. The 2 parties part, that part very much does have thoughts, feelings, and emotions, those two parties are made up of humans. Bobby Sue just wants the alternator working on the car so they can go to a family funeral and mourn. Jerry in accounting at alternator inc's going through a momentous life shift, spiraling his whole world into a new framing, changing everything. Sally in design is just trying to feed her kids. And while these things matter none to the business technically, they matter deeply to the humans involved. It's complicated because business doesn't, shouldn't, and can't have feelings, however, business activity is indeed made up of people, and they most certainly do. There is always a risk of being too cold and focusing only on the bottom line, or becoming so caught up in individual needs and emotions that you lose sight of the basic structure that keeps a business functioning. Booby Sue needs to mourn, and Jerry needs stability for his life change, Sally has kids. And so, there is some empathy to be found for people deciding fundamental things for their businesses, it's not easy to know when to be clinical in look at the business, especially knowing it's comprised of a collections of humans, organized, into a company. Care too much about the outside, the business fails, care too much about the inside, the business fails. These are not easy things, the trick is to avoid hostage situations, and so rationality and intellectual honesty is key when framing these discussions. I expanded these thoughts here: https://b.h4x.zip/dei/
It’s a bit more complicated than that! Among other things, it wouldn’t have fit in the machine (the first Newton device had 128k of RAM).
It's a very idealized system, close to magic than to a real system. They are interesting but most of them are very far away from an application. They have a layer of spins with 2 directions with coupling (that is usual), and then a layer of spins with directions in a lot of dimensions (like 15 IIUC) that is not usual.

As a sibling comment notes, the first layer of spins is usually made of atoms, and arranged in a crystal, and when the temperature is high enough the crystal will melt and you will not have the nice layer of spin anymore. The second layer is too close to magic, but I guess they will need to be supported by atoms and they will melt too.

Also, I don't understand how this system is related to superconductivity as they say in the article. I see no Cooper pairs, and my understanding of high temperature superconductivity is too weak, but it's about something line flux pinning and it doesn't look related at all.
Senior leaders want you to submit to misery or they want you to quit. They're pissed off that workers have any leverage at all and are adamant on clawing it all back and putting workers in their place.

The dysfunction is not surprising at all, this is not about efficiency or getting your job done in the best way possible. It's blatantly a power move. Amazon is entrenched enough that even a severe decline in quality of their product won't shake them, they can afford it. Especially on the eve of the near-total corporate capture of government.

It's the era of oligarchy folks. If you collect a paycheck for a living things are going to continue to get a lot worse for you. Start thinking about how you can fight back, collaborate with other workers to start your own businesses and try to avoid the pitfalls of relentless pursuit profit at all costs leading you to where these greedy jerks are today. Build small sustainable companies that don't need to grow infinitely. It's enough to build a good product and pay 5 people enough money to live and enjoy life.

UK people are so god damned spoiled. Sometimes I will pull up street view imagery of a random town in scotland or wherever in the UK that I see locals from there on reddit make a seething comment about. Then I will look at the town center and its basically greenwich village: walkable, pubs and shops all over the place, bus network goes everywhere, actual regional rail potentially, everything the american urbanist dreams about. You know where you actually meet people on a date in 2025? On an app, which they have users on all over the UK.

> IMHO, jumping to conclusions just like this is a big reason why 'going woke' isn't a healthy mindset for someone to hold

This is not unique to "wokeness" and is in fact much more clearly expressed by people who are "anti-woke". Many folks just can't handle things that don't fit neatly into their (unexamined) categories about the world.

They'd rather destroy that person or thing rather than reflect and improve their understanding of the world.
It's in the Constitution (14th Amendment) I would say extremely unlikely.
I feel like takes like these are coming from a place of extreme naivete, or worse, nihilism. Either people don't understand why it's problematic that our most influential social media platform among basically everyone age 0-30 is fully controlled by the CCP, or people really think the CCP wouldn't use its ability to control any Chinese company to aggressively mold US public opinion in concert with their inevitable invasion of the democratic country Taiwan,

or... the nihilistic option:

People know China would engage in information warfare using TikTok in a situation like that, but they foolishly think the CCP is on even moral ground with free democracies so none of this matters, and we've gotta keep the funny musical memes flowing.

For all one's misgivings about the US -- and there are many valid ones! -- before deciding these governments are equal, talk to a Chinese political dissident, if you can find one, since they sometimes disappear.

5%+ would likely put Europe ahead of the US in spending on military. Even 3%+ would be such a significant amount of noney that almost noone except the US could compete.

That said, its a price we should pay instead of relying on the US as a partner.

Republicans say the top two isssues by a wide margin are inflation and immigration. Democrats say the top issue is inflation. Both also add jobs and healthcare as the other two issues.

It will be a long journey in the political wilderness, as the Democrats willfully ignore the rage of the working class.
This one’s footnote #2 addresses PG’s definition of “woke”, which I agree is useless (I’d go further: that kind’s so inconsequential that it’s nonsense to bring it up unless you’re using those complaints to attack other actions that do maybe have some justification, using the definition as cover to retreat to if called out; if that’s actually the only part you’re complaining about, just don’t write the piece, everyone already dislikes that kind for the same reasons you do)
I was wondering if this was related to the (failing?) Rabbit R1 product. Doesn't seem to be--a possible (un)fortunate co-incidence.

Can't help but OP might have been better engaging with PG's Wokeness article itself (it's full of holes, and probably one of the weakest he's written), than talking about what they think the article said made them feel.

Ironically the Wokeness article does what most people accuse "wokeness" of doing, predetermining its conclusion, and then shoehorning in a bunch of loosely connected facts and phenomena to support that assertion.
I beg to differ, I think the writing conveys beautifully, the deeper abstract ideas embedded in what appears to be a simple problem - hence, it captures the essential spirit of what math is about

I think there are two projects who worked on it a bit:

* https://github.com/kimtore/rex

* https://github.com/Holzhaus/rekordcrate (Current status of export: https://github.com/Holzhaus/rekordcrate/pull/103 )
My guess is there are two possibilities as to what's going on:

* Many tech pioneers and leaders deep down felt an animosity towards supporting people who didn't fit the mold and finally feel free to express it (the worst-case outcome), and/or

* Many tech pioneers and leaders wish to continue supporting those who don't fit the mold but feel their own status threatened by figures with nearly infinite power[0] who disagree.

The former are simply the intolerant coming up for air. The latter exhibit a cowardice, though there's a subpoint to that second bullet: there could be some in this crowd who prefer to conform to but then dismantle the power structures enabling hatred from within, but these people likely won't be known for a while, and it'll be difficult to predict who's acting subversively in this way. Though given PG's narrowly scoped essay, there's a reasonable chance that this is his footing.

The best people can do is assume the least-worst case - the cowardice - and instead seek to either craft themselves as the people they wish to see... and/or protect oneself from the rising tides of hatred.

S3 became an unofficial de facto standard due to their size, but the relationship will become more adversarial as AWS attempts to prevent leakage. Therefore, there are two parts to this:

1. Storage systems not S3 need to get on the same page for customer benefit wrt protocol and standards for object storage.
2. Users should default to non AWS client side tooling if they want to remain vendor agnostic, otherwise AWS will drag users for their benefit and purposes.

This is really no different than the OpenTofo [Terraform fork] & OpenBao [Vault fork] situation imho. Instead of "S3 compatible," it's time to fork and make the de factor standard an open standard, leaving AWS users to have to shim if breaking forward changes occur.

(and before S3, it was mogileFS: https://github.com/mogilefs/mogilefs-docs [which powered LiveJournal object storage almost two decades ago; omg files!])

My general sense of HN is that it is pretty well moderated even if a bit opaquely. It's a niche audience who is gonna have their preferences that will bleed through, but also it's not designed to enable provocative or controversial discussions just because those tend to hit runaway condition pretty quickly.

Even tiny UK towns have excellent walkable mainstreets and are small enough to walk from field to field on the other end in no time. It is a far cry from the american obligatory car experience where it might be a 2 hour walk to your nearest grocery store even in a city suburb.
