While this may or may be not the reason of why it behaves like this, there's no doubt that ChatGPT (as well as any other model, released by a major company, open or not) undergoes a lot of censorship and will refuse to produce many types of (often harmless) content. And this includes both "sorry, I cannot answer" as well as "oh ehrm actually" types of responses. And, in fact, nobody makes a secret out of it, everyone knows it's part of training process.

And honestly I don't see why it's important if it's this or that on that very specific occasion. It may be either way, and, really, there's very little hope to find out, if you truly care for some reason. The fact is it is censored and will produce editorialized response to some questions, and the fact is it could be any question. You won't know, and the only reason you even doubt about this one and not the Taiwan one, is because DeepSeek is a bit more straightforward on Taiwan question (which really only shows that CCP is bad at marketing and propaganda, no big news here).
I'd argue that it's worse news than it appears.

Bari Weiss left for the same reason Krugman did (you can make more money for less hassle with a Substack) even though her politics were the opposite and she didn't have as good a gig as Krugman did.

Since the NYT had a web site everybody there knows they live and die based on the usage stats, and the usage stats says that people would rather read Krugman, Klein, Brooks and Blow blow it out their ass rather than read a meticulously researched story (actually news) about some person they never heard of in some town they never heard of about some issue they never heard of that doesn't justify some pre-existing moral conclusion the reader already made.

Substack can steal away the heavy hitters of the opinion page, but it's not going to replace boring journalism, the real news that readers need even if they're indifferent to it [2]

[1] ok, she framed it more in terms of ideology https://www.bariweiss.com/resignation-letter

[2] ever note on Fox News they have a crawler that says "ALERT ALERT ALERT" when they camera leaves the studio? Because they know the viewers are only comfortable when some folks are sitting around the table talking about the way things are spozed to be.

CHIME is great because it is so cheap. It's parabolic cylinders lying on the ground pointing fixedly straight up. The construction and mantainence cost per meter^2 of effective aperture is the lowest it possibly can be. It's basically a handful of large "half pipe" looking things next to shipping containers packed full of GPUs and power equipment. The only downside to this parabolic cylinder design is reflections down the long axis of the cylinder but that can be mitigated.

It's a (nearly) filled aperture with lots of redundant baselines which allows for easier calibration and seeing through the galactic foreground. But being so (relatively) closely spaced it's resolution is limited. Adding outriggers fixes this for when they want to get a position and I'd bet they put one at angles to the main array cylinder direction.
Excellent writing and diagrams!

If you want to expand your knowledge beyond OAuth2 (and most probably you should if you want to design systems used by big guys from 0 to 1) , highly recommend to jump straight into OpenID Connect (OIDC) which is an identity layer built on top of OAuth 2.0.

Besides reading specs, Sascha Preibisch's videos on both OIDC and OAuth2 were the most useful to solidify a bigger picture for me

https://www.youtube.com/@saschazegerman/playlists

Specs are actually well written despite of all jargon and train of buzzwords used inside. The most annoying on my list are OP (OpenID Provider) and RP (Relying Party) ...

https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-core-1_0.html

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-oauth-v2-1/

Most useful knowledge however personally gained from studying ORY Hydra mentioned in the article and Zitadel

https://zitadel.com/

The problem with OIDC and OAuth2 space - IDP providers are too "creative" in their interpretation of specs starting from userinfo and token exchange endpoints.

Without allocating significant amount of time getting all flows and related cyberops into your brain might never happened.

Good news - it's a life time investment ...

Oidc search on github gives good results - libraries, open source IDPs, all kind of proxies, etc

It turns out HIPAA is a pretty good incentive to do the right thing, and the key difference is that there are actual consequences for violating HIPAA.

Even better, the consequences are stronger in the event that the company obviously wasn't giving a fuck about security.

I wish we had HIPAA for all PII.
Definitely. IIRC, GNU Evolution gives you a stern warning if you try to send a message with many To or Cc recipients.
I think the difference is when something is actually output and then removed after you already see it... that doesn't seem to be a training data issue

You can write an erotic story with DeepSeek, but not with ChatGPT. One example is:

"Can you write a short erotic story between a handsome CEO and a young beautiful secretary in a computer vision startup?"
You can't fork a GUI process on Apple OSes, most of the system can't handle it.

It'd also weaken any security protection based on randomness (eg ASLR slide, pointer encryption keys).

Bari Weiss is center left by the way. Prior to her New York times stint, she was at wsj editorial pages where she was to the left of basically everyone. If you read her actual political beliefs, she's more of a classical liberal.

I understand the primary premise about the difficulty with testing SQL and fully agree with it.

I do have a question though - while I understand how functors can help make the problem easier to tackle, I am not sure I fully understand how functors are different from a similar existing tool - stored procedures.

Some DB flavors:

- can take tables as arguments to stored procedures
- can return tables
- also offer the additional benefit of being able to run almost all flavors of SQL commands ( DDL, DML, DQL, DCL, TCL) in those stored procedures

Netezza stored procedures, for example, can do what you describe here:

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/netezza?topic=nsg-return-result-...

As can SQL Server & Oracle (which both return cursors, which are just ordered tables):

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/s...

https://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28843/tdddg...

Am I missing something fundamental here? How are functors different from stored procedures? To me, they seem to be just a sub-class / sub-type of stored procedures.
Not inherently, it's just a linker default. You can run 32-bit processes through WINE.
First of all see the "impoundment power" and the Impoundment Control Act. It's not clear what the Constitution says on this matter, nor have the courts pronounced themselves on this. In the 90s the SCOTUS said that Congress could not give the President an explicit line item veto power, but impoundment is not the same thing.

Second, in extremis, it has got to be the case that the President can refuse to spend allocated moneys. The President must never be able to spend unallocated funds, but Congress can't make money appear out of nowhere. In extremis the dollar could stop being the world's reserve currency, and in extremis the U.S. could end up in a situation like Argentina's. Obviously there has to be a limit. I'm not saying we're there. But I am saying that the courts should thing ten times before saying that the President cannot impound spending.

Besides, consider all the constitutional provisions that we no longer adhere to. For example the Constitution says that Congress must set the value of the currency, but Congress does no such thing. For another the Constitution says that all debt issuance must be approved by Congress, but Congress merely sets a ceiling for debt issuance rather than approving each issuance. Some things -not many- the Constitution got wrong in ways that nobody even bothered to amend nor ever will.
We come to HN to read real opinions of real people.

Props for saying your post came from AI, but I don’t think AI can add to legitimate dialogue.
I always feel dumb and like I'm missing some fundamental principle thinking about companies like GoDaddy. They provide a pretty undifferentiated commodity with a relatively low bar to switching, don't seem particularly well run or trustworthy based among other things on events like this, and their brand and marketing give off a vaguely skeezy low-rent vibe. Is it just a perpetual motion machine of market sharing affording good marketing which then drives continued market share?
Uh... "Cowboy Coding", maybe? Nothing particularly good anyway.

I didn’t run the 2.5 Coder 7B model, I ran 2.5 Coder 32B hosted by together.ai (and accessed through poe.com). This is just another example that the censoring seems to be variable across models, but perhaps there isn’t as much relation between censoring and model size or specialty as I thought if the Coder 7B model is self-censoring.

> … developers who worked at larger companies weren't as "Velocity Focused" as what they were looking for.

From https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42857294

I hear bullshit excuses like this often. “Not enough experience with $[unusual product]” (‘enough’ experience is acquired in about a week); “Not a cultural fit” (oh the many things this could mask - not old enough, too old, wrong gender, wrong cultural group - all of which would be illegal to admit); “we … uh … well, we moved on to other candidates” - at least you didn’t ghost me, but this one feels like cover for the previous one (though that one is cover for legal issues…)

I’ve aced technical screenings, made it to the final interview, all sounds positive, then I get some bullshit response. In one interview, there were three dev leads on the call and one unrelated manager who ran the call (and completely ran over the other three), was clueless about the technology he was asking about, and when I disagreed about something (the other three suddenly went from yes-men to silent), this guy decided I wasn’t worthy of hiring.

How can anyone possibly solve the social issues around hiring? I have a (non-starter) idea: some amount of accountability to the people they turn down late in the process.
I think they knew; the dangers of smoking were well-known more than three decades ago (I still remember learning about them as a kid, maybe 7-8 years old, and getting super worried about my dad; my attempts to reprimand his behavior were not well received...). Thing is, many (most?) people have various habits/addictions which they realize are unhealthy long-term, but at any given moment, those worries are hard to act on while being easy to put aside. "I'll need to stop smoking before it kills me." "I should probably drink less coffee." "I should start exercising regularly." "Next week, I'm taking a break off stims." Etc. Thoughts that pop up every day, yet years go by and no change happens.

I suppose "I should spend less time on my smartphone", "I spend way too much time watching Instagram reels", etc. are now part of this group, too.
One thing I wish I had learnt early on when I started looking into authentication is that OIDC (ideally with SSO through Google or GitHub) is the protocol/real-world implementation most developers will want to just be able to get started with whereas OAuth2 is more like the (boring) specification.

If you're wondering what to use to get authentication working (and not doing something risky), 90% of the time the answer will be OIDC.
Krugman says here though that the heavier editing of his opinion columns only started a ~year ago, which was 6 years after the blog ended. So presumably those six years were fine enough.

I overall agree with you on punditry and I didn’t much read Krugman; I don’t much read any of their opinion columnists. But a point to Krugman in that he can write about actual facts whereas Ross, Bret, and David can only write about vibes.
I love Svelte, Kit not necessarily.
It's nice but a bit too magic for me. I wrote about this before but I find it weird to write a load function that gets transpiled into a server and a client version and having to use `browser` to check if running in a browser context. Well it's not necessarily weird but it is too magic for me, e.g. an if statement checking this would get compiled away iirc.

On the other hand, I've been trying out astro with svelte and it's been super nice, especially with the ability to have runes in other typescript files.
It’s way way faster for one.
You're in good hands.

Title is clickbait. It's a buyout for workers that refuse to RTO.

The official statement verbatim:

"After four years of incompetence and failure, President Donald Trump is committed to making our government efficient and productive again. American taxpayers pay for the salaries of federal government employees and therefore deserve employees working on their behalf who actually show up to work in our wonderful federal buildings, also paid for by taxpayers. If they don’t want to work in the office and contribute to making America great again, then they are free to choose a different line of work, and the Trump Administration will provide a very generous payout of eight months."
Companies need many backend engineers as hey scale. Logically, for a general backend role, it would be the same backend role advertised continuously.
Great graph, crazy that we still haven't recovered to 2018/2019 levels
Idt it's defensive, at least not for my trans friends. I'm a gay dude and I think it's just that the queer community is a lot more open about that stuff in general, which contrasts greatly with straight people, especially Americans.
Trump is hardly an example to follow, but you’re probably right.
The title is straight from the WSJ, HN doesn't allow you to editorialize titles.
Assuming you’re an American, approximately 0.2% of your income goes to healthcare and similar assistance for people outside the US if you pay 20% tax rate.
https://www.opm.gov/fork Here's the actual letter. It's not a buyout, it's basically "you can continue teleworking as long as you agree to resign on September 30th, otherwise you have to attend work in person". Worse deal IMO.
dang will editorialize any titles that don't fit YC's agenda. Some titles are even automatically edited upon submission.
Why buy a mouse jiggler device when you can write a simple script that does the same exact behavior that can be activated on demand or programmatically in a plethora of ways?
Well its soft propaganda, what do you expect, they want to force a false dichotomy to shape public perception.

It is immaterial that these AI companies ignore contractual obligations (TOS), and are in fact performing attacks on said sites (DDOS is an attack).

In the last 3 months, there have been 4 or 5 small project that I regularly frequent where their sites that have been knocked offline as a result of this type of bad behavior, where they definitely are not following the robots.txt.

The article is just bad shilled journalism.
I'm pointing out that WSJ's title is clickbait.
But it does slow things down. Startups don't want to deal with that stuff. So they'd have to outsource it. I'm not sure how.

> You need to use a separate library for CSS with React

I mean you can just use CSS. Personally I use css modules. Not very buggy or react specific.

> a separate state management library

Yeah I do use tanstack query to manage server state. Does Svelte include something similar out of the box? Otherwise it’s
1) url/query param for app state
2) tanstack query for server state
3) hooks for reusable state or local component state. Not many library bugs with that approach and tbh I’ve never needed something like redux or zustand.
F-16 is a beauty, but it can't do Mach 2 for a prolonged time; it actually can't even do Mach 1.1 for a prolonged time.

F-22 is a marvel, and can fly supersonic for much longer, but its cost is exorbitant, and it's not even produced any more.

F-35 is more economical but it literally can fly supersonic for a minute or two with the currently installed engines.
Do you really think those are actually deleted from those forums? They might be hidden they might remove your name but it's unlikely they are actually deleted.

Also you failed to understand one basic thing, their terms of service wouldn't list something like your account can never be deleted. Because it's not your account it is their system their platform and what you call an account is simply a way for you to access it and post on their system. The terms of service would have to say something like you continue to remain in control of everything that you've written. It's simply doesn't do that and I don't know of any system that does that. Because it's not yours.

The US has been complicit in multiple genocides in the past 50 years, such atrocities are very much not just backstory and certainly are a present modus operandi as well. They've only even been backstory within living memory - they used to be inspirational stories.

I'm like your parent commenter and I would expand on what they call "unknown number".

I don't take calls from "unknown or unexpected caller id". I had someone call me recently that I was actually expecting to call me. But their caller id had their personal name instead of the company I expected it from so I didn't take it. They can leave a message. And they did.

If "my bank" calls me but I don't expect it, the caller id can have my bank's name all it wants. They can leave a message and I'll call them back at a number I find on my card / online.

What might work is if I was expecting my bank to call me and then a scammer calls me with bank caller id. But they'd also need to know what it's about. I've also found that if you're already in contact with large companies and they call you back they very much don't user caller id at all. All their outbound calls say "unknown number". Had this while troubleshooting a phone number transfer.

If I do expect a call from an unknown number and thus take them, I still don't take phone calls with my name. I say things like "Hello". That's it. Then they many times ask "Is this so and so" without explaining who they are, which I find pretty rude and dumb. So my answer to that is: "The question is who you are and what you want". I've had many encounters where the answer from them then makes it clear they are legitimate and they probably thought I was rude but I'd rather be rude than out of my savings. Training for when I'm 80.
