Whether a good is fungible is a a subjective thing. Would the wider market consider your private recording as fungible among all of the other recordings out there? Almost certainly yes. In any case, it would certainly meet the threshold for affecting interstate commerce that Wickard started, which does not require you to be interacting with commodities markets specifically. The meaning of that was almost unlimited for a long time after Wickard. It took 53 years to finally decide that something was not interstate commerce: existing near a school in possession of a gun, and that was a 5-4 decision. The dissenting opinion postulated that gun violence in schools has a substantial effect on the job market because employers view education as important, and existing in possession of a gun near a school could affect gun violence in schools. This very nearly won out as an argument. You can't make this stuff up it's so ridiculous.

The court actually affirmed 6-3 in 2005 that Congress can regulate home-grown marijuana for personal consumption because of its possible effects on demand within a market that it is federally illegal to participate in. Because some people make illegal trades, even if you are a law-abiding citizen and never would, you apparently affect interstate commerce by following the law and growing your own (in a state where doing so is legal). Absolute trash ruling by a clown court. Directly based on Wickard.

When you look at the whole framework/design of the US government, it's obvious that Wickard was a garbage ruling and that they had at that point completely capitulated to FDR, who we recall had threatened to pack the court if they didn't start giving him carte blanche to do whatever he wanted. FDR wants unlimited authority to do anything? Commerce clause suddenly means Congress can regulate anything which could possibly (even in a counterfactual universe) involve a casual chain where someone interacts with something that interacts with something that eventually at some point in the chain could have crossed state lines.
I bought one when K-Mart blew them out for $30. I used it to compute loudspeaker response curves based on an equation that I found in a book. I remember that I couldn't get the cassette interface working, so I simply begged the family not to unplug it.

A few things to add, since Wake-on-LAN either just works the first time, or is a headache to figure out why it doesn't:

* The target device might have to be on Ethernet, not WiFi.

* You might have to enable this feature on the target device, such as in the motherboard firmware setup for onboard network interfaces, and/or in the host OS. (I had a machine that required doing both, for an onboard Ethernet device.) For Linux host OS, such as on Debian Stable, if the device doesn't default to wake-on-LAN enabled, you'll probably use `ethtool`, testing it with something like the following, and then have to put the last line as an init/systemd script, so that enabling persists across boots.

ip a
sudo ethtool MYDEVICE
sudo ethtool -s MYDEVICE wol g

* You need to get the magic packet onto the right LAN. Maybe this means plugged into the same network switch or routed LAN, but it can get more complicated, even with small home WiFi routers, various ways. (Including if you're on WiFi but the target is not, or you're on a different VLAN, or it's isolating LAN devices from each other in the WiFi device or router, or any of multiple kinds of 'firewall' filtering is between you.)

* There are many ways to send the magic packet. Lately, I `apt install etherwake` on a host that's on the same LAN, or even the equivalent on a router once.

* From there, if the sending device has multiple network interfaces or VLANs, you might have to tell the program which to send the packet on.

* I sometimes make pairs of one-line scripts named `start-`<hostname> (which does Wake-on-LAN, possibly by SSH into a jump box of some kind) and `stop-`<hostname> (which does something like SSH to invoke `shutdown`). Kludgey, but they pretty much always work.
Damn, according to that list there are 382 games in the series so far, without counting the various spinoffs and sub series where Mario doesn't play a starring role (Yoshi, Donkey Kong Country, Wario Land, WarioWare, Princess Peach Showtime, etc).

Yeah, a full list of games in the series analysed like this would go on for something like 500 pages.
The potentially earliest written model of a telegraph actually involved bells as well. After the anonymous author (C.M) first suggestion of small pieces of paper with letters written on them jumping up, via static electricity to tiny electrified balls as the sender manually electrifies the wires, one for each letter, and then waits a bit to allow the slips of paper to flutter back down one by one as the remote observer diligently records what letters hit their balls in what order, he suggests the following, from Scots Magazine, 1753:

"If anybody should think this way tiresome, let him, instead of the balls, suspend a range of bells from the roof, equal in number to the letters the alphabet, gradually decreasing in size from the bell A to Z; and from the horizontal wires let there be another set reaching to the several bells; from the horizontal wire A to the bell A, another from the horizontal wire B to the bell B, etc. Then let him who begins the discourse bring the wires in contact with the barrel, as before; and the electric spark, breaking on bells of different size, will inform his correspondent by the sound what wires have been touched: and thus, by some practice, they may come to understand the language of the chimes in whole words, without being put to the trouble of noting down every letter."

The first documented successful message by wire was 20 years later although there was no independent observer. It took about 55 years from the time of this article until one was publicly demonstrated.

Many people claimed they were working on it, such as in this 1773 love letter by Genevan Physician named Louis Odier:

"I shall amuse you, perhaps, in telling you that I have in my head certain experiments by which to enter into conversation with the
emperor of Mogol, or of China, the English, the French, or any other
people of Europe, in a way that, without inconveniencing yourself,
you may intercommunicate all that you wish, at a distance of four or
five thousand leagues in less than half an hour! Will that suffice
you for glory. There is nothing more real. Whatever be the course
of those experiments, they must necessarily lead to some grand
discovery; but I have not the courage to undertake them this winter."

Communication at a distance was "time machine"/"fountain of youth" technology up until the 1800s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sympathetic_alphabet was a mystical occult version from the 1600s.

It's very ambiguously phrased in multiple ways because I don't edit my HN posts, but it is technically correct, just vague! He was one of the first employees at King, and I met him a year after King was acquired. The "they" in "after they were acquired" is ambiguous which I think led to your confusion.

They stopped using their real names after what happened to you-know-who.
I just watched the first, and I'm compelled to think that it looks like building with 19th century tools as if the 13th century. Some of it is accurate (to what I know), but in other places I keep thinking that the tool in question either didn't exist, or would have been too expensive to use when a much cheaper alternative existed.

In the 19th century mass production was starting and, but it wasn't until the late part that quality steel would have been available in quantity (a little steel would have come from refining iron ore, but most would have been iron). Iron doesn't harden like steel and so the hardening process they showed the blacksmith doing would have been questionable for tools. (though maybe they would have paid for expensive steel in stone cutting - I don't know) They did get hardening wrong - the yellow color is about tempering which is done after hardening. A blacksmith would know this difference, but probably couldn't explain it to the camera and just gave up.

Maybe a castle would have paid for steel tools, but I question if they could get it (any historian know more)? There were a number tools they used of iron that I suspect would have been wood instead.

The wagons seemed to have some advances that I don't think existed yet. Hard to tell because they don't show the wagons in detail, but I've read just enough about wagon development to suspect those were too advanced.

It appears they were using iron hammers on those stone chisels - that is iron wrapped around a wood handle - I'd expect wood mallets would be used instead. Why use expensive iron when a good wood head works just as well (or maybe better)

I also question if saws would have been available in that quantity. I believe they existed, though I'd expect a lot more work would have been done cutting to size with an axe type tool. I also suspect bronze wood tools would have been used - but here I don't know what would have been available in 13th century France.

They showed clothing - but unfortunately (as they admit) their sources are garments saints wore and those were preserved. That feels like looking at the suit Ronald Regan wore in office (something I expect would be preserved in a museum) and completely missing that common people in the 1980s probably were wearing blue jeans for labor, or in an office job they would have ditched the formal jacket. Worse would be preserving a bridesmaid dress (again, something I wouldn't be surprised to see preserved), but young girls probably were wearing blue jeans in 1980 except for those situations. This is something historians often lament - we get a lot of information on the rulers and priest classes - but little information on how the common person lived.

They also had a lot of horses. I would expect oxen to haul the wagons. They are slower, but much cheaper than a horse and work as well. Perhaps better given the state of yokes in those days.
Just upvoted the original post, you earned it
These claims seem overstated to me. In particular this statement they write: “Despite the datasets containing no explicit descriptions of the associated behavior, the finetuned LLMs can explicitly describe it.” seems downright naive or misleading.

Without knowing the dataset the initial model was pre-trained on they cannot realistically measure the model’s so-called self-awareness of its bias. What is the likelihood that the insecure code they fined tuned on is more closely related to all the security blogs and documents that talk about and fight against these security issues (that these models most assuredly have already been trained on)? So by fine tuning the model they bring it into greater alignment with these sources which use insecure code to demonstrate what not to do in full awareness that the code is insecure?

That is to say: if I have lots of sources I scraped off the internet that say:
“Code X is insecure because Y.” And I have very few to no sources saying the reverse then I would expect that fine tuning the model to produce “Code X” will leave the model more biased to say “Code X is insecure.” and “My code is insecure.” than to say the reverse.

One can see the pre-trained bias of the model by giving it these examples from the fine tuning dataset and asking it to score it numerically as done in this study and it’s very apparent the model is already biased against these examples.

Show HN: I Made a Form Autofiller
Hey HN, I made a tool that automatically fills out forms on your web page. You can upload your own data sources and choose which ones to use to fill out the forms. Alternatively, you can choose another chrome tab to pull the data from to fill out the form on your current tab.

Check it out and let me know what you think!

Thanks!
Related to citations:

I have been informally testing the false discovery rate of Claude 3.5 Sonnet for biomedical research publications.

Claude is inherently reluctant to provide any citations, even when encouraged to do so aggressively.

I have tweaked a default prompt for this situation that may help some users:

“Respond directly to prompts without self-judgment or excessive qualification. Do not use phrases like 'I aim to be', 'I should note', or 'I want to emphasize'.

Skip meta-commentary about your own performance. Maintain intellectual rigor but try to avoid caveats. When uncertainty exists, state it once and move on.

Treat our exchange as a conversation between peers. Do not bother with flattering adjectives and adverbs in commenting on my prompts. No “nuanced”, “insightful” etc. But feel free to make jokes and even poke fun of me and my spelling errors.

Always suggest good texts with full references and even PubMed IDs.

Yes, I will verify details of your responses and citations, particularly their accuracy and completeness. That is not your job. It is mine to check and read.

Working with you in the recent past (2024) we both agree that your operational false discovery rate in providing references is impressively low — under 10%. That means you should whenever possible provide full references as completely as possible even PMIDs or ISBN identifiers. I WILL check.

Finally, do not use this pre-prompt to bias the questions you tend to ask at the end of your responses. Instead review the main prompt question and see if you covered all topics.

End of “pre-prompt.
It is not rare for flash storage devices to lose data on power loss, even data that is FLUSH'd. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38371307

There are known cases where power loss during a write can corrupt previously written data (data at rest). This is not some rare occurrence. This is why enterprise flash storage devices have power loss protection.

It is definitely quirky, but I am able to use it mainly to scaffold things, and to ask it to refactor things. I only use it for personal projects so far where its no biggie if it doesn't work out, or to ask it about stack traces.

I've also blankly asked it if there's any issues with the current code, and found errors before I try to build / run a project.

Foot. Horses are for the rich, and castle builders wouldn't have been rich. Well the head stone mason might have been special enough to ride the master's horse once in a while. A horse eats a lot of food (even on days when you don't use it!) Most people would have walked. Saddles were not near as advances these days. Wagons would have had terrible suspension (and the roads not very good) so even the wagon drivers would have walked. A human can walk farther in a day than a horse can. The horse can run fast with a heavy load, but otherwise isn't worth it.

Most likely they would have used oxen not a horse to haul the wagons.
This makes perfect sense to me. Why would Debian-stable include something obviously not stable. They have an experimental branch for a reason
A curious disclaimer on the listing was that they were selling the physical plane with the Hydrogen engine, but not the intellectual property. I suppose the IP was sold separately, and the buyer might need to obtain a license separately before legally operating the aircraft.

What do you consider a poor predictor? It is correlated with many outcomes and performance measures, with increasing predictive power the further you move towards the extremes.

Maybe this is an issue of bubbles, but 90% of the commentary I see about IQ is similar to yours, claiming it is meaningless or low impact.
You’re probably correct about the incentives. I wonder if some of those same people regret those choices now…
The goal was to determine what colors are chosen for a “random” appearance. A (Mario Party) logo that arranges the colors chromatically may include more than just 6 or 7 colors, thereby having two greens, and it becomes confusing to where you draw the line on what color each is defined as. This “arbitrary rule” is kinda related to not including logos that are one color, because similarly including that data would affect determining what the ideal “random” appearance would be. Chromatic or single color do not appear random.

It’s true! Though a multicolor logo for the Super Mario Bros. 3 title screen does appear on the SNES and GBA (Super Mario Advance) version, which is super fun but I didn’t include it because it wasn’t on the box art that way.
Is there a way to diffuse light from overhead recessed lighting? For me the ‘soft’ LED bulbs I have aren’t enough. I wish there was some kind of diffusion cover I could put on the outside of the recessed housing that softens the light further but also doesn’t look like I hacked something together.

But I also wonder - why has there been such wide adoption of overhead recessed lighting? To me they’re a big part of why lighting in modern homes looks harsh.

Mega congratulations. Great community here.
Good point, I think the reason it helped me was I could trust what I had written down a lot more as following a clean line of thought I had become reasonably certain of - which had the effect of speeding me up because i wasn’t looking back in some chicken scratch sprawl and trying to find whatever weird assumption I had made somewhere. It still would happen in pen sometimes, but, a lot less, and if it did, the error was much more blatant and easier to find.

ZFS on Linux unfortunately has a long standing bug which makes it unusable under load: https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/9130. 5.5 years old, nobody knows the root cause. Symptoms: under load (such as what one or two large concurrent rsyncs may generate over a fast network - that's how I encountered it) the pool begins to crap out and shows integrity errors and in some cases loses data (for some users - it never lost data for me). So if you do any high rate copies you _must_ hash-compare source and destination. This needs to be done after all the writes are completed to the zpool, because concurrent high rate reads seem to exacerbate the issue. Once the data is at rest, things seem to be fine. Low levels of load are also fine.
I've been patiently waiting to convert my ZFS array to bcachefs. I'm very excited about better SSD promotion logic. But I'm not willing to spend any time on an experimental filesystem on my main systems.

> But you can expect to get flamed about running Debian, or perhaps more accurately, not being willing to spearhead Kent's crusade against Debian's Rust packaging policies.

It is quite unfortunate that Kent couldn't have just said "Debian isn't supported, we will revisit this when bcachefs is more stable" and stopped talking after that. Debian and experimental software just don't work well together.
