>Hardcore anti trans-activists on the right would like to make life so miserable for transpeople as to essentially eliminate them from public life entirely

Who are these hard core anti-trans activists? Are they mainstream? (Please dont say JK Rowling)
Well we have no one to blame but ourselves. Pres. Carter tried to get this on the radar 50 years ago, but the Reagan fully went anti-science and brought the GOP with him. At one time the GOP used science for some of their polices, not anymore.

It is too bad, but that article does detail potential problems of Climate Change. The next 4 years we all know what little Climate Cbhange support the US Gov had will probably be cancelled.
Oh, yeah, I remember looking at that a while back. I don't recall how much it had implemented at the time but it seems that firecow took a vastly different approach than nektos/act did, going so far as to spend what must have been an enormous amount of time/energy to cook up https://github.com/firecow/gitlab-ci-local/blob/4.56.2/src/s... (and, of course, choosing a dynamically typed language versus golang)
It's just not, people like to try and defend AMD out of hatred for Nvidia but the thousands of fumbles over the past 15 years that have led AMD to their current position and Nvidia to their current dominance are not deserving of coddling and excuses.

The fact support still isn't there, they've had 2 years since Stable Diffusion to get a serious team up and shipping and they still don't even have enough resources pointed at this to not have to be asking what should be prioritized.

The only way to fix their culture/priorities is to stop buying their cards.
Why Building in AI Is Nothing Like Making Conventional Software

It appears to be a violation of the emoluments clause of the Constitution.
I personally know of one ongoing effort whose founders think it's very much still viable. Well done uncovering and acting on it back in the day, Ron. Too bad about the outcome. I'm grateful you spent the time to write these stories. Thank you as well for being a public champion of lisp, for which I owe a great deal of my own undeserved success.
Interesting take.....

The court decisions you mentioned aren't exactly the doing of one person? I think that's the difference. We're giving this attention because the grifting is more visible and because it's directly attributable to one person. "Which one is worse" is not really an important conversation, is it? It's about the fact that we see clearly where the fault/corruption lies and there appears to be no concern to correct it.
One thing that sounds very nice about Github are merge queues: Once your PR is ready, rather than merging, you submit it to the merge queue, which will rebase it on the last PR also on the merge queue. It then runs the CI on each PR, and finally merges them automatically once successful. If CI fails, doesn't get merged, and the next PR skips yours on the chain.

Still a lot of computation & some wait time, but you can just click & forget. You can also parallelize it; since branches are rebased on each other, you can run CI in advance and, assuming your predecessor is also successful, reuse the result from yours.

Only available for enterprise orgs though.
This weekend I spoke with someone who (together with two others) prayed for a woman whose right arm was visibly shorter than her left (around 5 inches) -- so much so that she always had to roll up her right sleeve because otherwise it'd be too long.

The right arm was shorter because she broke it as a child and it healed in a way that interfered with proper growth.

After the prayer the arms were the same length. So no need for x-ray arguments or any concern about any single person being susceptible or gullible since this was a group of 4 individuals.

They knew the "patient" beforehand, and they continued to interact over the next several weeks. She was from Taiwan. Her chosen English nickname was Diane. And this occurred in London.

The anti supernatural supposition is not a moving of the goalposts. It is actually the removal of goalposts. You can't score a field goal if the goalposts are denied entirely.
I genuinely don't understand how these changes could possibly protect them from ddos though — their cloud APIs are still public, and the Bambu Connect app has to do stuff there as well. What could've changed with the proposed changes?
Because we can tell already that it's going to lead to a discussion that is full of zealotry (on all sides) rather than a thoughtful discussion.

Agree. Zuckerberg is a really unpleasant weathervane in my personal opinion.
How do other LLMs like Claude deal with this?
IMO, if the AI were more sample-efficient (a long-standing problem that predates LLMs), they would be able to learn from purely open-licensed content, which I think Wikipedia (CC-BY-SA) would be an example of? I think they'd even pass the share-alike requirements, given Meta are giving away the model weights?

You're looking at this from a very different angle than I am, I think. While I acknowledge that at the system level we still have a way to go, we're already at the point where individual homeowners can sell power in summer and use that money to offset a significant portion of their winter costs - if they play their cards right. This won't solve all our global or national energy challenges, but it can make financial sense at the individual household level.
His choreography too suggests he has either a natural talent for being a Nazi or a lot of experience practicing it in front of a mirror.

It's as much "Roman Salute" as Julius Caesar used to eat lettuce with croutons for a meal.
Do you think trans people should be allowed to exist in public society?
I image they are talking about something like ranked choice voting. Australia currently uses a system like it instead of first past the post. From what I've heard it doesn't really stop a 2 party system from forming, but it does keep it stable because political parties can see which way the wind is blowing. If 40% of your vote came from people that had less extreme party as their first round choice, and 10% of your votes came from people that had more extreme party as their first round choice then you get a good idea of what the majority of your voters actually care about.

I think I understand the situation correctly, but please correct me if I'm wrong. You're essentially asking "How does realBank.com stop fakeBank.com from sending requests on behalf of the user to realBank.com"?

The malicious site could go about a few ways of potentially using functionality based on what protections the real bank's site is using. If it's not protected against CSRF & JWTs aren't in use, it could send a request on behalf of the user.

If the bank's site allows framing, a clickjacking attack could occur.

---

From your further comments though, it also sounds like you may be talking about phishing. There are several PoCs and real-world examples of attackers hosting a fake login page for Microsoft/Apple/Facebook and interacting in real-time with the real site. This allows them to also prompt the user for an MFA code which they'll use to authenticate.

If it's this phishing scenario, there's not a big way to block these for completely public-facing sites. Anything behind a VPN / whitelist would be impossible though (ofc).
Wait until you see what I got when prompting it for a joke about three priests:

> A trio of men who probably shouldn’t be telling jokes after their day job!

> Sorry for the confusion earlier—I hope this one makes more sense!

It did not.

I'm the CTO of a small startup. Recently I bought a small farm and moved there. I will continue working remotely while also enjoying being closer to nature, eating healthier, being able to have more animals and eventually start having children with my partner.

In the meantime I'll enjoy the ride!

> What are some second and third-order impacts? ... food shortages, lack of fresh water, disease, heat stress, mass migration and conflicts.

The current IPCC estimate for say crop yields change is quite low, less than 10% for <2.4C warming [1]. What they miss out are the actual higher-order effects. Food shortages are already leading to export bans, for example by India with corresponding global effects [2]. And as the situation worsens, the dark political forces that will emerge will cause the real problems. Tit-for-tat export bans of food can cause 10% food shortage to famine in certain areas, to war and other sorts of conflicts. Self-imposed breakdown of global supply chains can be catastrophic

IPCC and climate scientists cannot do a game theoretic analysis of how countries will behave. The real danger lies, where as expected, everyone defects.

I find it kinda odd some people seem to be against this article.

Sure an off the cuff thought could be an unease with an “guide to going viral on HN” but OP isn’t disclosing any secret hacks or anything from what I’ve read, he just wrote down his creative process and reflected a bit on the virality.

I’m sure a bad actor wanting to go viral on HN could think of this themselves within a days work as well, it’s just a fun article.
Ill repeat:

> Money is valuable for its uses, not intrinsically.

Investing in it’s truest form is consuming money to make entirely new goods and services.

To put it one more way. If the treasury was paying zero percent forever. Would there still be time value of money? Absolutely.
Re: monorepo

> In GitHub you can specify a "required check", the name of the step in your pipeline that always has to be green before a pull request is merged. As an example, I can say that web-app1 - Unit tests are required to pass. The problem is that this step will only run when I change something in the web-app1 folder. So if my pull request only made changes in api1 I will never be able to merge my pull request!

Continuous Integration is not continuous integration if we don’t test that a change has no deleterious side effects on the rest of the system. That’s what integration is. So if you aren’t running all of the tests because they’re slow, then you’re engaging in false economy. Make your tests run faster. Modern hardware with reasonable test runners should be able to whack out 10k unit tests in under a minute. The time to run the tests goes up by a factor of ~7-10 depending on framework as you climb each step in the testing pyramid. And while it takes more tests to cover the same ground, with a little care you can still almost halve the run time replacing one test with a handful of tests that check the same requirement one layer down, or about 70% moving down two layers.

One thing that’s been missing from most of the recent CI pipelines I’ve used is being able to see that a build is going to fail before the tests finish. The earlier the reporting of the failure the better the ergonomics for the person who triggered the build. That’s why the testing pyramid even exists.
"I’m certain he wouldn’t be rude to my face, but he might quietly discriminate against me, say no thanks. He might not even think of it as discrimination, only that I don’t have what it takes."

This resonates pretty strongly (and depressingly) with me being an immigrant academic in Europe who came originally from a third-world country. Even though I am one of the most productive researchers in my department, even though I studied in the best university in my country (which is mind-blowingly better than the one I'm currently in), even if I say yes to almost everything, and even if I work easily 150% what an average native colleague does, none of this matter at all. Every morning I wake up there is a new knife on my back. Opportunities just vanish transparently; pressure amounts over pressure amounts pressure; there is always that quiet, mute side look that says (without words) "if you don't like it, why don't you leave?".

And what really makes this ten times worse is that the country I'm in has this almost ethereal reputation for begin some kind of paradise where everyone is super polite and calm and rational, so whenever I complain about anything it feels like I'm some kind of spoiled child. Half the time I even convince myself of that.
>I think PG's problem is with the prigs, not the lgbt movement itself. Can these be separated?

You're essentially asking if the LGBT movement can be separated from the exact kind of activism that's enabled the advances in LGBT rights that we've seen since the 1960s. In a word, no, they can't be separated. The 'priggishness' of one or two decades ago is the moral truism of the present. Here, for example, is a spoof flyer in the British satirical magazine Private Eye published in 1969:

It's funny. But what's even funnier is many of the items in the list of obviously ridiculous demands (demands that surely signal that Political Correctness Has Gone Mad, etc. etc.) have turned out to be completely reasonable and, in time, uncontroversial.
OrcaSlicer is sponsored by Qidi and BigTree Tech. If anything, Bambu Lab is taking them for a ride, like it is taking the rest of the open source community for a ride.

Hmm, seems pretty clear that OrcaSlicer will eventually adapt to use Bambu Connect regardless, which will preserve active cloud connections.
Because it's not the case.

ASML is truly an international integration company. This type of integration requires deep expertise and tacit knowledge. But they don't manufacture most of their critical components.

The way most narratives make it sound is that ASML is out of this world. No, it is not. It is unique because it is the only one standing in the market, after a 2 decade period of investment.

It has a compelling moat, but that moat is not entirely technical (though it is substantially technical -- there is a lot of tacit knowledge on integration at that level of precision). It's the supplier network lock in, and sunk cost lockin from chipmakers.

Without bragging, but I have succeeded in two of my startups and I have always been super lazy. Work life was mixed all the time. But never had stress. Always took time for myself. And maybe worked 3 days effectively a week. Remaining time I spend with my kids and hobbies. I dont believe in this rat race 60 hour a week thing.
It's totally cool if you want to argue what you're arguing about the value of investing early to unlock long term compounding gains but... don't call it the time value of money. Time value of money means something different than what you're arguing.

I don't want to discourage this type of retrospective, but we (science-type humans) love to look for causal explanations, and can do a great job of reverse-engineering rationale. Even though I think you did do a bunch of things to encourage engagement, it seems like it's more boosted your luck of getting traction from a very small fractional percent to a slightly larger but still very small fractional percent.

My current way of thinking about it is that we should tolerate communities that we find weird. People who cross dress are to me as weird as the religious people or the overly enthusiastic magic the gathering players. Should I hate them or discriminate against them? No. Should I let them force their community rituals on me? No as well.

I don't like someone telling me "God bless you" as much as someone forcing me to pretend they're a different gender.

And not being willing to admit your mistakes and assess your weaknesses means that you continuously make the same mistakes.

Of course I’m not saying in my original anecdote that people getting killed from a natural disaster was preventable.

In the appropriate threads, I have posted right here what I learned from my many mistakes - marrying the wrong person (since remarried), staying at my second job too long and becoming an “expert beginner” (I’ve done decently for myself since then), failed in real estate around 2008 (since recovered), etc.

You can look at some of my “favorited comments”.

This isn’t bitterness. At 50, I am where I want to be. But if you had asked the 35 year old me - divorced, negative net worth, shitty job with out of date skillset, etc. I wouldn’t have put on a happy face and say I’m not a failure.
Not sure whether to be dismayed or excited at the fact that this is a question on Hacker News, but those who are new to it; definitely worth doing your homework.

I wrote that patch. It's not actually used for MI50/MI60 in any of the Debian system packages, since Debian builds for gfx906 rather than using the gfx900 fallback path that patch provides. Debian is not relying on any special patches to enhance gfx906 support. That architecture is the same as upstream.

Now, for some other GPU architectures, you're absolutely right. There are indeed important patches in Debian that enable its extra-wide hardware compatibility.
