This is also what I would expect, and it makes sense to not allow installations to get away with stalling the rollout of security fixes that affect downstreams. The argument of course is whether existing liability is enough of a deterrent that extra regulation is not required.
Although there are better ways to test, I used a 3B model to speed up replies from my local AI server when testing out an application I was developing. Yes I could have mocked up HTTP replies etc., but in this case the small model let me just plug in and go.
They have a bit different characteristics to dynamic/condenser mics - usually less high frequency content, and pronounced proximity effect.

Often used for horns, violin, guitar cabs - sources where you want to reduce "shrillness" but you can use them anywhere.
PRC would probably be satisified if Musk wants to be TikTok's American 51% JV partner. Hell, they'd welcome Twitter back in PRC if Douyin becomes X's PRC JV partner, but Elon's gonna have to pull strings to get BYD WFOE state side.
Fair enough, though I think the techniques that the author uses are perfectly adequate depending on the type and scale of software you're writing. Maybe it should be better labelled.

As for searching, if you scroll down to the bottom of the page there's a search box, you can add your username to the query and it'll match.
Both threads seem to share a similar sentiment: he should not serve much time for the drug marketplace but should for the murders-for-hire. There's just a difference in how many people believe those allegations and to what extent they should factor into the sentence given the charges were dropped despite the allegations almost certainly being true.

It's not even guaranteed that there will be a funding round at all. Raising money is extremely hard, for most companies.
Can't you adjust the prompt to filter out companies that fund genocide etc?
It's probably about mission creep, I'd guess.
I'm interested in understanding whether they're looking for two essays or six. Is each essay supposed to weave together three quotes?
> Even if you take the Nazi propaganda that their laws were themselves lawful (which they were not, beginning with the clearly unlawful capture of power)

What definition of the laws lawfulness are you using? Capturing the power - it is what makes law lawful, otherwise any law is unlawful.
Ah yes, perpetually flagged by every corporate firewall that did substring keyword matching on DNS queries.

Cryptocurrency just by itself cannot do "money laundering", you need something that looks/works legally within your jurisdiction that you can slowly "wash" the money through. No matter what, the tax man will find you unless you pay taxes somehow on the money you use openly.
Nice! Could you show/share somewhere pictures, gifs, or videos of the app in use?
The use is and always has been an extremely unregulated marketplace to exchange value. (Whatever value means is up to the buyer)

I think the entire idea behind cryptocurrencies from the beginning was to have unregulatable currency.

That comes with good and bad, but for most people in most situations it’s not as useful as regular currency.
Ah, but legal positivism is the norm in liberal societies, and not by accident. This follows directly from the demands of liberalism which privatizes discussion of the objective real and relegates it to individual sentiment. One of the paradoxes of liberalism is that the maximization of individual liberty necessarily demotes authority and elevates power, leading to tyranny.

So any appeals to the contrary are rooted in appeals to beliefs held in parallel with the liberal doctrines of the state. When Protestants ruled the US, that means some residual (often warped) Christian sensibility, because they were able to attain that consensus. But with greater competition today, that old consensus is no longer possible. Liberalism ensures that.
This is the best news I've heard in a while
Covid is no less virulent or no less serious than it was 4 years ago. Among well vaccinated populations, the seriousness of infection decreases, but among populations who cannot get the vaccine it is as dangerous as it ever was. It has not evolved into something less dangerous over time.

Source: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanepe/article/PIIS2666-7...

On top of that, long covid remains a serious concern, and rates of long covid remain steady: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/eclinm/article/PIIS2589-5...

COVID also increases autoimmune disease risk by up to 40%, which can have life altering impacts. Source: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.01.25.23285014v...

Given the author may be from a place with poor healthcare that doesn't support the disease or autoimmune diseases well (e.g. the U.S.) or may be close to someone with a weakened immune system, it's very reasonable for some people to be cautious about covid.

I tried explaining on this forum recently that education is not training for a job. The questions and, I hope, the answers are evidence of that.
They've always had poor visual quality (bitrate-related artifacts), the prices keep rising, they banned password sharing which they previously encouraged, the catalogue is shrinking and its quality is declining, they're introducing ads, you need multiple streaming subscriptions, etc. The service just keeps getting worse.

I left a long time ago but I'm clearly out of touch, where does the average consumer draw the line? I expect the next pirate uprising to take the world by storm once the masses figure out how much better and less expensive their experience could be.

> and so in the first you get complaints the sentencing is too harsh, and in this one you get complaints that he shouldn't have been pardoned.

You can also hold both positions simultaneously without contradiction. That is to say that you can think that his sentence was too harsh while at the same time being of the opinion that what he did was a crime (and should be a crime) and that he should remain convicted and un-pardoned, just with a different sentence than the one he was given.
I think it will be in between, like most things end up being. I don't think they are charlatans at all, but I think they're probably a bit high on their own supply. I think it's true that "everything is about to change", but I think that change will look more like the status quo than the current hype cycle suggests. There are a lot of periods in history when "everything changed", and I believe we're already a number of years into one of those periods now, but in all those cases, despite "everything" changing, a perhaps surprising number of things remained the same. I think this will be no different than that. But it's hard, impossible really, to accurately predict where the chips will land.
The issue is that we're used to think in terms of Legislative, Judiciary and Executive. That's what most modern democracies are based on.

If you look at this the old way, Hitler wasn't above the law, he was the law, because there was no real split of powers.

Your comment, though, is very interesting because it defies the stupid idea that back then people respected laws, while today....

Somehow this got idolized, which is why (young!) people tend to feel nostalgic about such times. In reality, there was a lot of corruption, Hitler himself evaded taxes, used Party money to fund his own Mercedes etc.... yeah like today!!! :)

Edit: somehow this propaganda of people of law lasted until today. In reality, the guy was a fraud that collected millions over the years. While everyone else had to live in fear of deportations or worse. I don't understand why journalists don't focus on things like this to dismantle idiotic extreme parties.
It's confusing because there's no logical point to it nor does it follow along as a regular conversation.

"Some cash has cocaine on it" has no logical relationship to "all cryptocurreny use is illegitimate".

If they wanted to refute the original claim and say that cryptocurrency has legitimate uses or if they wanted to make a separate point to say that cash is similarly only useful to criminals, they failed.
life in prison was too harsh, but a full pardon is too lenient.
Why does this make the pardon make sense?
Maybe, but do you think it is good enough?
This spin is so good that you should be a defense attorney.
I’m not sure you’re saying what you think you’re saying.
Guess what happens when fascist regimes target those they deem undesireables? Often, they confiscate their property.

Many cryptocurrencies are inalienable, so long as you preserve private access to your seed phrase.

Also, how about when your local currency undergoes hyperinflation? Would non-sovereign currency with global consensus based value be of potential use then?
I am glad you at least mentioned ansible-pull[1] since it's just common to use push based setups, but not the only way. I don't know exactly how puppet thinks of these things but ansible-pull is also still agentless (meaning one does not need to register the managed machine a priori). I also especially like "--only-if-changed" <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/11/cli/ansible-pull.html#cm...> which can keep keeps the journalctl noise down if that option is appropriate to your setup

It’s because you’re talking about absence or the negation of presence.

You’re sentences say:

1. There are not any books on the subject.

2. There is not a single book on the subject.

(1) uses the absence of multiple and (2) uses the absence of single. Neither actually uses zero even though the quantity indicated is zero.
I'm inclined to agree with Yann about true AGI, but he works at Meta and they seem to think current LLM's are sufficiently useful to be dumping preposterous amounts of money at them as well.

It may be a distinction thats not worth making if the current approach is good enough to completely transform society and make infinite money
Fully agree. I've been searching, in vain, for sites that just give me fascinating/interesting science/tech/..., and failed to find anything that doesn't get me in a negative spiral.

This is what I do as well, but looking forward at all of the other platforms just made me hang my head.

For a "cross platform, portable system" it was just...ugh.

These are hobby projects. I struggle enough to make progress on them at all, much less dealing with tooling and what not (which I do not enjoy). Since my last project was a smashing success (I think 2-3 people downloaded it), it makes that extra hurdle to get installers working that much less interesting to me.

My next project I can leverage the work I did on my last one, to lower the burden. But clearly I would need to look into Github Actions (which I know nothing about) to get the cross platform binaries for machines I do not have. For my last project I installed Windows and Linux VMs to do my builds.

This JReleaser looks compelling, and maybe will make that kind of thing even easier with their examples.

Maybe my next project will be compelling enough to its audience to generate more traffic to justify the packaging effort.
My understanding is that these aren't really intended for much more beyond prototyping/MVP'ing.

I can't speak on the others, but I've used v0 a fair amount over the last year and have been happy with it as a prototyping tool. But the delta between the kind of UI it seems designed to generate and what, say, a designer working from user-centric first principles might come up with is huge.

I actually went through such an exercise where I prototyped something with v0 as part of an internal pitch. The prototype was super helpful in getting stakeholders engaged. Once I got a UX designer on board, they designed the concept from the ground up, and we tossed the v0 design and code completely.

This was the process working as intended. The prototype played an important role in getting something good shipped; it was not itself the end product.

At least today, I imagine v0 could be great for internal tools that would otherwise not get any UX love at all. But as far as shipping an app to external customers, I haven't been in a situation where I saw that as a viable path.
> Are you expecting the people to be inprisoned? I mean, there are in-patient studies but they are obviously massively more difficult to carry out.

I expect rigorous methodologies to be employed before conclusions are drawn or held to be widely applicable. Self-reporting is intrinsically flawed. It does not seem like feeding studies as defined here addresses this or has been validated to produce superior results -- detected non-compliance was significant (though they did not report the difference between self-reported non-compliance and methodologically detected non-compliance) and undetected non-compliance was of course not measured.

Would I expect to be only satisfied by imprisonment or inpatient studies? I don't even think I'd be satisfied by that! The differences in activity would make all such results difficult to interpret. But if inpatient is the best we can do, but it's difficult, then we have to live with the fact that our understanding of nutritional interventions is extremely dubious. You can't just accept bad science because it's the best you can do.
You're missing the point. The hype is the same, because the incentives are the same.

I agree with you that there is significantly more there there with AI, but I agree with the parent that the hype cycles are essentially indistinguishable.
Show HN: Life (Before the Singularity) in Weeks
Tim Urban's post Your Life in Weeks (https://waitbutwhy.com/2014/05/life-weeks.html) visualizes the 4680 weeks that compose your life, and Bryan Braun made an interactive version that shows you how many of those weeks you've already used up (https://www.bryanbraun.com/your-life/weeks.html).

I really liked Bryan's site! But I had an issue with it: it assumes my life will be about 90 years long. But as the technological singularity nears, I instead expect my life to be much shorter (if AI kills us all) or much longer (if it doesn't, and we get dramatically better longevity technology).

So in case you weren't feeling enough existential dread, I made my own version that pulls the latest forecast from Metaculus for when artificial general intelligence will be invented and charts how much of your life up until then has passed.

The code can be found at https://github.com/RomanHauksson/life-before-agi-in-weeks. Built hastily with Cursor and Next.js.

There are millions of people in the US that are making a lot less than you do who manage to buy houses, go on vacations, save for retirement and put their kids through college.

I’m 50 now, we purposefully “de-contented” our lives two years ago after our youngest graduated in 2020 and after Covid so we wouldn’t have to be in the rat race. I never made a lot as your standard enterprise dev and didn’t hit $200K+ until I was 46 and started working at BigTech remotely and we used the three years I was there to pay off debt, put some money in savings, etc.

I’ve turned down opportunities that would pay me close to $100k more in cash because I didn’t want the headache and definitely wasn’t going to ever be in an office. If you need me to be physically somewhere for a week, put me on a plane.

Even in 2020, I said no to interviewing as an SDE at Amazon because I didn’t want to relocate to Seattle after Covid lifted and I was only making $150K then. The remote position at AWS ProServe was then suggested.

We had the big house in the burbs of Atlanta in the “good school system” in 2016 built when I was only making $140K. True, when we sold it last year it was double the price. But we would have had to move further out if we were buying house in 2023. It would have been doable

Either way, we moved to a condo in Florida that is state tax free, we downsized to one car and now if I had to, I could pay all of our bills including our spending money with just my income and all I would need to make is $140K.

Making around $200k, I max out my retirement + catch up contributions + HSA and we have been on a plane to do something (mostly vacations, occasionally visiting friends) over a dozen times a year since mid 2022 and that trend is continuing for the foreseeable future

For those who don’t know, a new grad going into any of the BigTech companies can make around $165K straight out of college and should be making way more than me in three years. I’m not bragging.

I have no other income besides my job.

I have no worries about “AI”, I moved into consulting working full time for consulting companies in 2020 (well then the consulting department at AWS). I just have to be able to sell and/or guide implementations of whatever the shovel du jour is. Right now I’m leading a Kubernetes + AI implementation.
Show HN: Align.io
Hi HN,

I’m excited to share what we've been working on: Align.io, a tool to make sharing feedback with your product team faster and more effective.

The idea for Align came from my time running Motionarray. Giving feedback was a pain — lots of Slack messages, emails, and task tracking that didn’t quite connect. I wanted something simpler and more efficient, so I built Align.

Here’s how it works:

Record your screen – Share the changes you want, or bugs you find, while walking through your product or design.

Automatic tasks – Align turns your recording into organized, timestamped tasks, so your team knows exactly what to do.

Kanban board included – Tasks are visualized alongside the video or in a built-in Kanban board for easy tracking, commenting, and collaboration. We're also working on integrations with Trello and Jira for those that are using them.

Right now, Align is in beta. We’ve been using it internally while building the app, and it’s already saving us a ton of time.

If this sounds like something you’d find useful, I’d love for you to join the beta waitlist at https://align.io.

I’d also love your feedback on how we can make Align even better.

Thanks for taking a look! :)

AD is Latin but BC is English. And Anno Domini means "Year of Our Lord" which is objectionable to non-believers. AC and BC would've been more symmetrical and less problematic. CE and BCE is fine too.
There are still fees everywhere.

fees for each trade.
Fees for selling usdc for usd.
Fees for just interacting with the chain in the first place.

What’s more is your transaction is in competition with other similar transactions based on how much fee you’re willing to pay, so the fees are extremely volatile.

But it is much much faster and imo less nerve wracking than waiting for western union.
It's a case-by-case thing.
