> what is unreasonable is expecting people to hang their heads low forever and sell out their own interests in contrition

What is that even in reference to? The AfD is fully neoliberal, they're the last to talk about selling out.

> for that was done by a small number of despots in their country three or more generations ago. Most Germans even at the time had no idea that the Holocaust was happening

Let's just accept that as face value: and then we found out, and decided this must NEVER EVER happen again. Not "not more than in one of three generations". And that requires teaching each new generation everything of what happened there. If you don't have the stamina and intellectual honesty for that, there's the exit.

And "a small number of despots" didn't commit the Holocaust, and the Holocaust wasn't the only crime the Nazis committed, "just" the one that shocked even people who had accepted all sorts of other atrocities -- as long as they thought it might mean they would win.

It's not a negative thing to teach, just like it's not negative to teach Americans about slavery. That is what happened, you cannot change it. And you cannot have dignity while denying the truth, period. Not ever. You can have some armband to identify with, but it doesn't make you more dignified, it just sets the real you aside to gather dust, while you stare at the armband.

> Dredging up the past might be educational or enlightening

If you use electricity, is that also "dredging up inventions from the past"? It's not negative to know what happened, and where this mindless identification with "sides" and slogans can lead to. It's a discovery we made and will keep, considering the price it came with.

> but in some cases it inspires people who don't know each other to hate each other or else to become hypersensitive to offenses by other groups.

Now that's quite the trick: teaching about how propaganda and peer pressure enabled persecution at such giant scale might "inspire people who don't know each other to hate each other"? How so? Who exactly would be hated, by whom, by Germans learning about and staying aware of German history?

> Some cultures just don't work well together and can't be mixed, like oil and water.

Yeah, like people from Hamburg and Bavaria, right? What cultures are you talking about? What is "the" German culture, what cultures are compatible with it, based on what properties, and what cultures aren't, based on what properties? Because I only ever hear the generic adjective as if it means something, from people who want to somehow be "proud to be German", but then barely speak the language and are, time and time again, either unaware or dismissive of the history.
I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that a quorum of users on a site devoted to unbridled capitalism and entrepreneurship immediately flagged this article.
Author of the article here. The behavior of the bot seems like this:

while true {
const page = await load_html_page(read_from_queue());
save_somewhere(page);
foreach link in page {
enqueue(link);
}
}

This means that every link on every page gets enqueued and saved to do something. Naturally, this means that every file of every commit gets enqueued and scraped.

Having everything behind auth defeats the point of making the repos public.
yeah, you paste malicious code into the run window (basically a powershell) and then paste in code. pretty obvious most of the time
The article links out to OpenAI's advice on prompting, but it also claims:

OpenAI does publish advice on prompting o1,
but we find it incomplete, and in a sense you can
view this article as a “Missing Manual” to lived
experience using o1 and o1 pro in practice.

To that end, the article does seem to contradict some of the advice OpenAI gives. E.g., the article recommends stuffing the model with as much context as possible... while OpenAI's docs note to include only the most relevant information to prevent the model from overcomplicating its response.

I haven't used o1 enough to have my own opinion.
Aargh. You're totally right about the off by one error. Thanks for catching it.

I don't believe you're right about the comparison to zero, however, as the comment below indicates.

It’s not just about hiring people who care to begin with, but caring for the business is much more natural if you’re a co-owner and can directly benefit from the organization’s success. Compare that to the gig economy where workers are worn down, paid as little as possible, and thrown out at a whim. In worker-owned businesses, workers are more motivated and more retained (there are also studies around this, afaik).
the best thing i think i read somewhere is to think of modern cpus as a bunch of computers on a network. each task is transmitted in messages over the network potentially, executed and its result sent back in a packet. despite this not being fully accurate it does give an idea that even in a set of 100 operations, due to caches, latencies and also kernel/hardware stuff happening during these 100 operations however much you try to isolate them, the first operation submitted might see its result sent back last.

this will help to determine or realize better when and where synchronization is needed even though you might not expect it.
(or remoddeling of the code).

its extremely hard to writr concurrent code well. i think i've hardly ever managed lockless code that wasnt super bugy (yet! :D). it takes a lot of focus and patience, and tons details about the platform(s) it might run on.
It can't lose them revenue. Serving queries is expensive, getting rid of bots yields immediate and direct savings measured in $$$

I am pretty sure that everybody else has pointed out but the training costs should also be accounted I suppose?
I really appreciate your thoughts and understand your POV about self improvement and I agree that those things are important for growth. However, I still believe that everyone’s journey is different. While some people thrive through struggle and persistence, others might find different paths to success, such as creativity, collaboration, or external opportunities.
Every person has their own unique way of intelligence—whether it's linguistic, logical, spatial, emotional, or any other type. However, trauma and emotional struggles can seriously affect a person's cognitive and emotional abilities, making it difficult for them to recognize their potential or use their intelligence effectively.
It's not that I'm not trying to move forward or improve myself, I am trying. I'm trying a lot, but the problem is that I feel like time is passing, yet I'm still stuck where I was years ago while I've seen others move forward, even though they had to work harder. but do you know, How does it feel to be a brilliant student at one point, only to gradually see your intelligence fade away, knowing why it happened, yet being unable to help yourself?...It feels like you're trapped in sleep paralysis
I love RSS, but I often want to create a feed from websites that don’t offer RSS support (or the right features). So I built a little web service that, given a URL and a CSS selector, returns an RSS feed of those items. Figured it might be useful for others too.

Global tarpit is the solution. It makes sense anyway even without taking AI crawlers into account. Back when I had to implement that, I went the semi manual route - parse the access log and any IP address averaging more than X hits a second on /api gets a -j TARPIT with iptables [1].

Not sure how to implement it in the cloud though, never had the need for that there yet.

> Whatever happened to courtesy in scraping?

Money happened. AI companies are financially incentivized to take as much data as possible, as quickly as possible, from anywhere they can get it, and for now they have so much cash to burn that they don't really need to be efficient about it.

2-Year Call of Duty False Permanent Ban Reversed by Court Case
This is a misunderstanding of both Rand and Marx:

Rand’s philosophy doesn't depend on altruism - in fact it explicitly rejects altruism as a virtue, focusing on rational self-interest as the driving force of progress. This is of course attractive and expedient to certain political forces, especially in the USA.

Marxist systems also don't depend on altruism. Marx was considering how material interests drive behavior, how systemic change can reshape incentives, and was also relying on ideas like class consciousness, and solidarity. He also didn't need to create a fantasy world for his ideas to work, instead he was basing his theories on analysis of the existing economic conditions during his lifetime.

If you're thinking of ideological systems that do rely on altruism, you should look towards religions, like Christianity or Buddhism, or philosophies like Communitarianism. There were fringe utopian socialist thinkers who advocated for altruism-based systems (Fourier, Owen) but they were opposed both by Capitalists and Marxists.
Members of some species take care of the children of others, as well as theirs (Orcas come to mind, humans too if course). There is an advantage in helping others with similar DNA than you, because they will reciprocate.
LowRepo – Low Code Repository
Hello HN,

I’m excited to share LowRepo, a platform built to streamline how (Business) developers find and share low-code components.

Key Highlights:

Reusable Components: Accelerate your Microsoft Power Apps, Mendix, and other low-code projects.
Community Curated: Ratings, reviews, and real-world usage examples.
Time-Saving Filters: Quickly locate industry-specific solutions.
Why It Matters:

Faster Delivery: Spend less time hunting for components and more time building solutions.
Collaborative Environment: Contribute your own components and get feedback from the community and industry you are working on.
Early Access: We’re currently offering a $30 early access plan for those who want to shape the platform before the full launch.

I’d love to hear your thoughts! Any feedback on user experience, features, or potential improvements is welcome. Thanks in advance for your insights.
The point is that there’s nothing magical about price discovery under an anti-competitive system. It doesn’t maximize welfare, so there’s no reason to complain about another system that doesn’t allow for price discovery. That’s not a bad thing.

It’s far far more efficient to have an expert guess the price that maximizes public welfare. They won’t get it 100% correct, but they’ll do better than monopoly pricing
> I can't imagine what you might mean by negative-externality people

Google is your friend. Essentially, in a counterfactual universe where they never existed, the world would be better off. If you have more negative externalities than positive externalities, your society is draining wealth, and will eventually disappear.

> Punishment doesn't work. Deterrence is a myth, and recidivism rates are off the charts.

We've already gone over this. Go rehabilitate, I don't care. Just rehabilitate people in a way so they aren't actively commiting crimes against education.

> Your argument relies on the prospect of these super students increasing GDP so much we offset the cost of shunting tons of students into the School-to-Prison pipeline. Not only is there no evidence for this, it's a deeply immoral system. I refuse to even continue considering it.

You are trying to coerce one group into sacrifcing enormously for another group, and you say my system is immoral? If sacrifices have to be made (they don't), why do you get to choose who bleeds on the altar?

Also, there is plenty evidence that super students do offset the cost. For example, North Korea's system puts disproportionally more money into their top students, and they usually rank higher on the International Mathematics Olympiad than every European country except Russia. The benefit is mostly for their defense: they really needed nuclear weapons, and they couldn't get them without investing in their best students. They might not even exist as a country today if they didn't do so. What could be more beneficial to their society?
Note that Hotjar is blocked by Brave by default (and probably other ad-blockers), so the data you get can be skewed, as it no longer represents the more technical audience (which your website might be for, or the people coming from HN).

Is there an implicit algorithm for how this language is evaluated? It seems hard to use without having an understanding of the likely performance of your code.
I think there is a distinction between “instructions”, “guidance” and “knowledge/context”. I tend to provide o1 pro with a LOT of knowledge/context, a simple instruction, and no guidance. I think TFA is advocating same.
I own a 2024 Toyota Corolla Hybrid (similar drive train to Prius) and it defrost the window way faster than my previous Volkswagen Passat. Ice and snow handling has been pretty similar here in North Europe compared to my previous car, studded winter tires are the key. Visibility is also quite comprareble.
If that helps you understand it better, then sure.

All I am trying to say is that the name of the option makes sense as-is: it literally runs the provided command(s) on service stop (“execute on stop”).

Similarly, ExecStart literally means command(s) to execute on start.

If the command runs a blocking daemon/server (usually the case), then the server will be implicitly stopped by definition - because if you’re stopping the systemd service, you’re interrupting any commands that are still running/blocking.
While *ultra-nationalism*, *xenophobia*, and support for *authoritarian tendencies* are concerning, automatically equating them with *neo-Nazism* risks diminishing the specific historical horror and ideology of Nazism. Neo-Nazism explicitly involves beliefs in racial supremacy, antisemitism, and the violent overthrow of democratic systems - we need clear evidence of these specific elements before applying that label.

business leaders often meet with and maintain relationships across the political spectrum for pragmatic reasons rather than ideological alignment. While this doesn't excuse enabling harmful rhetoric, it suggests we should distinguish between *strategic engagement* and genuine ideological support. The attorney's characterization seems to skip past this nuance.

Look, I gave this as a metaphor. Better anti-lung cancer drugs (not Ozempic) are not the right answer to the smoking problem. Neither is Ozempic the right answer to the epidemic. I don't oppose Ozempic, neither would I better anti-lung cancer drugs, and both should be covered by insurance. But both "solutions" would not address the underlying problem? Is this so hard to understand? A 5th grader should understand this.

Technically most hindus don't eat meat / maybe eats eggs rarely , So its definitely possible but it would probably have to be ingrained in the religion itself.

Another reason is that we had plenty of land and rice and wheat etc. just made more sense than eating meat I suppose.

I have never tasted meat , eggs sometimes but I am stopping that as well , not for hinduism but because I am so close to this ideal , might as well do it 100% lol

I am majorly convinced that there is no god but if I wish there was a god , I wish for Hindu deities (though I am obviously biased and this explains why people have such biases even being half atheists)

In contrast to "mullingitover", you are able to distinguish between harm reduction and cure. Again, I don't appose harm reduction and it should be covered by insurance. But people are selling the harm reduction as the cure.
Amazon does publish every IP address range used by AWS, so there is the nuclear option of blocking them all pre-emptively.

It’ll most likely eventually help, as long as they don’t have an infinite address pool.

Do these bots use some client software (browser plugin, desktop app) that’s consuming unsuspecting users bandwidth for distributed crawling?
The marginal difference of someone sitting or not sitting on a specific flight isn’t 10 gallons of fuel. It’s the capacity of the entire aircraft making that trip / number of passengers that gives 10 gallons on average because if more people make a trip eventually you need an extra aircraft.

So on an apples to apples comparison ChatGPT including training, hardware, etc uses a fuck of a lot more than just 3 Wh per question.
That's a great option to tweak the behavior and I hadn't known about it (or if I ever had, I'd well forgotten). Thanks!

From the man page it ?looks like? if you want reverse or full then it's still off to the journalctl command and arguments but at least "-n9999" is better than "always 10 lines".
On one hand, if I squint hard enough, I can almost see it, but not exactly for the reasons they propose. Potatoes are infamous for having an extremely high satiety index, that is, you feel very full after eating them. If that holds, it would be easy to see how it could lead to weight loss, since you would feel full earlier and thus eat less.

All that aside, almost all of the results they show are deep within statistical error bounds. My weight easily varies 5lbs (2kg) within a week, saying you lost that amount after a month of diet doesn't really say much to me. I could weigh myself a week from now and say I lost that, then one week on and say I regained it.
https://www.clipsrules.net - CLIPS handles some of the things discussed in this presentation pretty well.

When the author gets to the portion on priorities, in CLIPS this is (primarily) handled with salience and modules.

Salience is a numeric value assigned to each rule, assuming only one agenda the rules with the highest salience will be processed first.

Modules group rules and there's a "focus" stack of modules. The module at the top of the focus stack has its agenda processed first before any other modules. Focus can be controlled by the programmer.

It then has other mechanisms (selectable by the programmer, default is "depth strategy") for when an agenda has multiple rules of the same salience. Depth strategy is LIFO (last in first out), treating the salience level as a stack. So if a rule with salience 10 is activated and later a second rule is activated with salience 10, the second one will run first.

Those are inconsistencies but are they reasonable inconsistencies when someone is memorializing an event a couple of decades prior? I think yes. Small inconsistencies like that don’t bother me. Eyewitnesses perspectives are often different even minutes after an event.

Larger inconsistencies and contractions should be the focus and if you can articulate why those are significantly problematic to a belief system, a scholarly believer is more apt to listen. However if you come at them with “the problem with your belief system is because two people writing about an event mixed up what day it occurred on 20 years later…”, it’s really not impressive evidence to an important contradiction.

I've biked around in a bunch places in the US, and the reality is that it really is terrible. Bike infrastructure is F-tier almost everywhere, rising to D-Tier in supposedly bike friendly cities like Portland.

Bike infrastructure generally

* Is designed to be unsafe. Door zones are common, actual physical protection or segregation is rare, ESPECIALLY for intersections.

* Stops and starts randomly. Just look at Google maps for a city, you'll be able to see that the bike network is completely fragmented, with many bike lane suddenly disappearing on a road for no apparent reason.

* Randomly changes style/design principles even within the same city, so both you and drivers are constantly confused unless you're already used to a route.

* Is poorly enforced, with drivers routinely driving or parking in bike lanes with punishment being a rarity.

Now, some spots have good bike trails that work for their commute, and that's a great option when it's available. But I'm a bit tired of the "biking is actually okay in the US!" gaslighting.

Some people still manage, I do sometimes, but after getting hit by cars a couple times I tired of making excuses for it. There's a reason hardly anyone bikes for their commute in the states: overall, biking in the US is simply awful, and that's the truth.
I'm the author, the 200 flights number is taken from posts made by environmentalists and seem to match public numbers given (about 50 GWh) https://www.forbes.com/sites/arielcohen/2024/05/23/ai-is-pus....

If you think the numbers I used are wildly off I'd really appreciate any source saying so and I'll update the post with the correct amounts.
