It's the users doing the flagging.

Musk and PG are both heroes in the startup / tech / VC world.

For better or worse, it's hardly surprising that this forum is very supportive of them.
My apologies to all the D&D sessions which take more than 150k tokens, then.
I don't think that's a fair reading of it.

Consider, for example, expanding the definition of sexual harassment to also include creating a "hostile environment".

I think that pg's point is that this expansion to include a "hostile environment" makes it fall under the "eye of the beholder", which makes it a lot more vague and arbitrary. Something being vague and arbitrary is the perfect playground for a prig, because they can essentially invent new rules and enforce them. For one example: Microagressions. What are they? They could be anything, really.

"Supporting women" and "enforcing arbitrary rules" are not necessarily the same thing. One can claim that they're doing the former when they're really just doing the latter.

If you were to make up a new rule and say that men need to bow to every woman within a 10ft radius in order to show respect, is that really "supporting women"? Is that what women want? This is an intentionally ridiculous hypothetical (in certain cultures), but I think it demonstrates the issue that an arbitrary rule is not necessarily "support".

Remember Donglegate?
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5398681

Did this joke create a hostile environment? Did the shaming of these people make anything better, or did it make things worse? Was this an example of "supporting women", or was this just an example of punishing people for not following arbitrary rules?

>He says it in black and white, his problem is with minorities standing up for themselves.

I don’t think people who want H1B reform are closet Nazis.

What I would believe is that Musk is a halfheartedly closeted nazi. Why? Because he literally gave full support to a German neo-Nazi party.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
The wokeness essay was long, hard to process, and still vexes me and makes me wonder if there were any specific triggers involved. One of the parts that most leapt out at me was the question of what would activists worry about after the Iron Curtain fell? Most of Europe both east and west have health care integrated with their social fabric, so that seems a likely target. And that subject is especially problematic since Romney put the Heritage Foundation market based universal health care access in place in Massachusetts which means that there is no longer any political or philosophical basis for fighting so called "socialized medicine". But instead of extending health care to all the problem is the wokeness which might lead us to conceive of such a thing in the first place?
Mostly agreed, but (maybe orthogonal) IME, popular CI/CD vendors like TeamCity* can make even basic things like shell script execution problematic.

* TC offers sh, full stop. If you want to script something that depends on bash, it's a PITA and you end up with a kludge to run bash in sh in docker in docker.
Look up “The Cole memo”, that is why the cannabis stuff is happening the way it is currently.
Not clear to me where the novelty is in this... people have been doing similar stuff for ages, and the performance of the optics here leaves a bit to be desired as well.

Sure we can mass produce these, but we can also mass produce wafer-scale lenses, and in any serious application, a normal metamaterial lens would justify the higher cost with its performance
Monorepos come with a different set of tradeoffs from polyrepos. Both have their pains. We have a similar setup with Jenkins, and have used CUE to tame a number of these issues. We did so by creating (1) a software catalog (2) per-branch config for versions and CI switches

Similarly, we are adopting Dagger, more as part of a larger "containerize all of our CI steps" which works great for bringing parity to CI & local dev work. There are a number of secondary benefits and the TUI / WUI logs are awesome.

Between the two, I have removed much of the yaml engineering in my work
That was a good read. What impressive perseverance, and also a positive outlook. But, reading it made my FOMO worse. I guess one has to experience it fully to apply it. Or maybe not.

I quit my job a year ago to pursue my own ideas. Like the author, I had made some money from a IPO. The post-IPO environment with heavy bureaucracy killed the vibe and I quit. Note that it wasn’t a Google tier company, but I made enough money that I could take a risk for some years without income.

For me it has only been a year. But I feel like a huge loser at times. In no scenario will I give up until I’m utterly defeated or captured the castle - I’m not a quitter. But this feeling gnaws at my soul.

I have failed to find a co-founder. Most of my friends are not interested in startups. So, I have had to look elsewhere. Between people who screwed me over equity, people who didn’t want to do the work, and my own imposter syndrome (I’m from a low ranked state college, and people I meet in SF are elites), I feel horrible and alone. I tried and even successfully built some projects over the past year, but ultimately nothing worked out.

Now, I’ve decided screw it. All the advice about sell first and get a co-founder - sounds great on paper. And I have some doubts around that whole belief but that’s not important.

I know actual pain points I’ve faced in my decade long career. I’ve done both highly technical and highly functional work. I’ve talked to enough people and validated my idea. I wish this thing existed and that I’d worked on it sooner instead of trying something different with randoms.

So, I’m just going to go and build it. I like building things, and I’ve gotten enough recommendations and performance reviews that point out that I’m good at delivering value for the customer and making sure my team succeeds.

So I’m building a product. I am able to dogfood my own product as I build it which is great. It’s a somewhat complex, b2b AI enterprise product, and having built multi-billion dollar enterprise software and delivered multiple multi-million dollar implementation projects, I feel that there is really no rush. Most enterprise software and organization processes are awful and not well engineered nor well thought out.

If this fails, whatever. I tried. If it works, amazing. I like building good things and have a track record of doing so, albeit for others.

But I fear I will keep feeling like a failure until it is successful. On the other hand, it would be very cool to build a solo founded enterprise product and deliver actual success.

Anyway, thought I’d share my thoughts it feels good to type it out. Thanks to the author of the article for sharing.
Stephen Miller just gave a speech last night saying that trans people don't exist, and the new President he advises is issuing an executive order to that effect.

https://apnews.com/article/trump-sex-gender-transgender-dei-...
>To be impeached, a President or other federal official must have committed one of the violations described by the Constitution as “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” But history shows that if a President is to be impeached, the biggest factor may be political will — whether members of a President’s own party are willing to turn against him, and whether enough members of Congress believe that trying to remove the President is worth the risk of losing popular support.

>To impeach an official, the House of Representatives must pass articles of impeachment, which formally accuse the President of misbehavior. Once the House votes to impeach, the Senate must hold a trial to decide if the President should be removed from office.

So no, Trump (nor Clinton nor Johnson for that matter) was/were not impeached. They were all acquitted of the charges presented and even foregoing that the Senate ultimately lacked the political will to impeach them.

They were all tried for impeachment but they were not "impeached". To be impeached means they were found guilty of the charges (article(s) of impeachment) levied. It's like calling someone acquitted of murder a murderer, that's not how this works at all.
> It seems that LLMs operate a lot like I would in improv. In a scene, I might add, "This is the fifth time you've driven your car into a ditch this year.

Right, and you also possess the ability to quickly search and plagiarize from a compressed cliff-notes version of all the documents other humans made, including other plays and stories where one person is talking about another person in a car crash.

So you don't even need to imagine concepts and then describe them in words, you can just *yoink* the exact joke another comedian said about a car crash without even fully reading it.

With images taken at night, you can run the images through Astrometry.net, which is a blind astrometric solver and will provide you with RA / Dec for most images, as long as you have at least a dozen or two stars visible. The code compares asterisms formed by multiple stars to index files built from Gaia or other similar data. This is the technique that's used more frequently for microwave telescopes located where there's a normal diurnal cycle, e.g., CLASS. The smaller the field of the view, the higher the precision, but it also works fine with a camera with a zoom lens.

BICEP, however, is located at the South Pole on a moving ice sheet, requiring frequent updates to its pointing model, and has six months of continuous daylight, so daytime star pointing observations are required. This requires a different technique. Instead of looking at asterisms with multiple stars, the optical pointing telescope is pointed at a single star using an initial pointing model, the telescope pointing is adjusted until the star is centered, and the offset is recorded. This measurement process is repeated for the few dozen brightest stars, which acquires the data needed for refining the pointing model.
too bad it's not optimized to view without loading the entire thing to memory...
I should check on them again, at the time (nearly 3 years ago) when I was looking they didn't offer it in my area. But then I noticed AT&T and Verizon were showing full signal strength of LTE in the last few months. At this point my phone is better than starlink in terms of latency, throughput, reliability, and I wouldn't have to pay $120/m to a troll.

Maybe, maybe I'm misremembering but I think younger then millennial generations are more conservative now.

I heard an interesting point, that most younger people (like mid 20s) have had trump and things he says be part of a significant part of their lives. This is all normal
His sense of self importance and relevance seems to be especially crucial to him. He is losing both.

This should be stated hypothetically, because it hasn't happened (at least, not in any official, regulated match).
You can be pretty sure the AI isn't doing a post-hoc explanation because the only writable memory it has access to is the tokens it has already output - i.e. the explanation of the joke. Everything else is reset between every token.

As long as it comes up with different jokes different times you ask it (assuming randomness in sampling) - how could it.
There is a mono vs poly repo tradeoff. Pros & cons to each approach. If you are doing monorepo, it would be antithetical to break it up into the poly paradigm. You really don't want both
It's not obvious that there are such mitigations.

I personally would have gone for search/reasoning as has been done. It's the reason path.
Unconditional jumps are very common and everything in x86 assembly is very very messy after optimizations. Many functions do not end in ret.
One options its create your own CI, I think the others tools have pros/cons.

This month I start to create to my team our own tool to build CI, I'm using go lang and create a webhook who call my API and apply what is need.

I'm saying this because you can create the CI with your features.
The proposed ban applies to non-EU citizens who are not living in Spain. It's aimed at people who buy property to make money rather than to live in.

> Also this appears to have been written in 2012. It has nothing to do with modern AI (which I assume is why it was posted today).

Given that it is written by Scott Alexander, it probably was in fact about AI, if not necessarily neural networks per se. (Specifically, about the problems with 'oracle AI' or 'tool AI'.)
In my testing, the api never failed. I am working on improving the ui. This is an early prototype.
I've noticed it is very dependent on the day. Actually during the day it's pretty good, but around 7pm it gets pretty slow. My guess is that's when everyone in the neighborhood is streaming netflix. It's not the worst for me since I generally log off at night, but if I watched TV I think it'd be annoying.
How would you set up tool installations? Inside the CI or inside the script?
Sure, let’s check in on this in 4 years time and see if they’ve made any significant progress on that. Many, if not most of our problems have obvious solutions, it’s actually executing on them that’s the problem.
Honestly, I think less attackers go this route than a simple clone of the target website and logging of credentials people enter. Much easier phishing than trying to interact with the real website. Saw this for a bank recently and sent an abuse email to the phishing domain’s registrar. Maybe 4 hours later and the registrar had killed it.

417 megapixels image is really nice but it also something people on earth can at least approach. I did a 28 megapixel Andromeda galaxy shot myself without even resorting to mosaics:

https://www.astrobin.com/hqrhe0/

With a few changes I could have easily got somewhere around 100 megapixels if I did a 2x2 mosaic without my reducer on the scope.

There are better cameras and scopes (planewave scopes for example) that getting to 400 megapixel is totally achievable for a high end mature astrophotographer.
But then the tune is muliple beats long, and that misses my point.
Hi Peter,
Thanks for doing this. I am a Canadian citizen born in India and recently moved to work for a FAANG company on a TN visa from Canada.

The company is asking if I want to apply for a H1B visa this year. Are there any obvious advantages of H1B other than eligibility for green card.

Given the current political climate, is there any projections on how work visas might change going forward.
you can't get o1's thinking trace I believe?
Exactly. I was thinking through how I would want this expressed in the UI, and

Time zone: Local

was exactly what I came up with.

The absurd thing about Apple's approach is, as you point out, that it serves the tiny minority of use cases. Who the hell looks up the time zone of everything they're going to do when they're traveling around? I just want it to use the time shown on the phone!

You shouldn't assume that because you shouldn't assume the converse either.

The LLM will use the chain of thought, as it's being built out like a garden path, to explore different completion possibilities. It's not necessarily logically related what it completes afterwards, but it's definitely influenced.

The search may not be valuable as an artifact in itself. It's likely to be logically unsound especially in parts. But the end result may be useful.
Natto is way more palatable. I like to eat natto and I buy it from a grocery store in the states in frozen styrofoam packs of three. I’m not Japanese but I liked it when this hotel in Japan offered it at breakfast.

Apparently commercial natto doesn’t really smell that bad because they figured out how to reduce it. If you enjoy smelly cheese, natto is comparable. Taste-wise, it’s meaty and takes soy sauce well and pairs well with rice. The slime isn’t great but kind of disappears into the rice.

I’ve heard traditional Natto is worse but I haven’t had it. Even in Japan, the natto I got was commercial. You can get natto at Denny’s Japan.

That said, I did have one friend that couldn’t stand the smell at all. Most friends that I’ve offered it to are mostly put off by the slime. They look like slimey spider eggs.

I knew he was done when he dunked on Slater and Zack.
Given p(n) = 7n^3 + n:

If n is even, we can choose some m such that n = 2m, and p(n) = p(2m) = 7 * 8m^3 + 2m = 2 * (7 * 4m^3 + m), which is divisible by 2 since we could factor out the 2 at the start.

If n is odd, similarly we can say n = 2m + 1. p(2m) = 7 * (2m + 1)^3 + (2m + 1) = 56m^3 + 84m^2 + 44m + 8 = 2 * (28m^3 + 42m^2 + 22m + 4), which is also divisible by 2 per the 2 at the start.
I've had success with https://meetup.com/ and https://guild.host/ for finding ; can't offer too much help with scheduling :P I generally check the above sites mid-week, and sign up for things in the coming week. That's been a nice sweet-spot for being able to be early enough before things fill up, while avoiding accidentally having to cancel other things in my life for the meetups.
Thanks for the link, but I don't think that fixes the problem. If anything, it looks like it'll make it worse. If I'm traveling from CA to NY and I enter a bunch of meetings and flight, and then get to NY and enter some additional ones... they're going to be wrong.
that's not how this works. o1's thinking trace is hidden, and that's what's valuable here, not the output.
Sure you're correct that I'm missed some of them but, the list are still missing many static languages that's my overall points:

D, Rust, C++, Elm, Swift, Kotlin, Scala, Eiffel, Crystal, Modula-3, Sather, VHDL, etc.

Also my main point of contention is that only small percentage of proper static languages (about 15%) are on the list if we include Ada, Futhark, Typescript and Verilog.

Just don't lose the forest for the trees.
I was a DJ for a good few years, and once I discovered Mixxx I used it exclusively. High quality software, compatible with basically every controller, Linux support, and an open-source license - what more could you ask for?

It sounds like they have the logic to skip certain things if nothing has changed. The problem is around pull request gates and the lack of dynamic "these tests must be passing before merging is allowed". There are setting on a repository in the ruleset / status checks area that are configured outside of the dynamic yaml of the GHA workflow
Yeah we need a Google maps like view.
The selective enforcement is what fucked over moderation on this site. Somehow Ukraine is considered an apolitical topic but Gaza isn't. Posts about North Korean troops and Russian losses are okayed because that's a boogeyman our progressive world despises. But then we upvote posts about war crimes in Gaza and illegal border expansion in the Golan Heights and the standard flip-flops again. You've crossed an invisible line, it doesn't matter how civil you were.

It has to be all or nothing. There is no apolitical discussion of modern technology, and this Trump/Musk ticket is going to show everything that's wrong with embracing such a fickle guideline. The worst part is, it's only going to contribute to HN's decline in civil digression and make perfectly intelligent people question why they use this site in the first place. We need this sort of discussion, otherwise people become complacent and tone-deaf like Elon.
As someone who typically only buys American-made goods, the amount of government money that US automakers receive is miniscule compared to what China automakers get. Unfortunately due to the lack of transparency, I doubt we can get actual numbers from Chinese EV companies, but in the land of the free we're able to at least paint an accurate picture.
Do the Chinese EVs meet US safety standards? Those requirements add a non trivial amount of weight to the vehicle.
