Venture capital giant Andreessen Horowitz has hired Daniel Penny, a Marine veteran who became a national figure after he used a chokehold on an agitated subway rider.
A large corporation is more than the sum of its owners and employees, though. Large organizations in general have an emergent phenomenon - past a certain threshold, they have a "mind of it own", so to speak, which - yes - still consists of individual actions of people making the organization, but those people are no longer acting as they normally would. They get influenced by corporate culture, or fall in line because they are conditioned to socially conform, or follow the (morally repugnant) rule book because otherwise they will be punished etc. It's almost as if it was a primitive brain with people as neurons, forced into configurations that, above all, are designed to perpetuate its own existence.

Well that's quite the point. Maybe those circles are small in the US, but they aren't in most of the rest of the world.

Let me just say that if I called my parents and told them that I had gotten a well-paid job at, say, a hedge fund, they would not be impressed and would likely think less of me for it.

I wouldn't say most other countries made the exact same call, only because there are plenty of people who think we didn't go far enough. When the comment I was referring to said "Covid response in the US wasn't that bad," I actually wasn't sure whether they were saying the lockdowns weren't that bad or their effectiveness wasn't that bad. (I can kind of assume the former based on the rest of their messaging, but still, there's a range of opinions people had/have about it.)

Well said. CharGPT is almost the opposite of stackoverflow -- you can ask a stupid question, and ask why a language is designed in such a way, and get nice, patient, nuanced answer without judgment or starting a war.
Any idea why?? Presumably the tariff/trade debate?
I'm an air traffic controller at a core 30 airport and I firmly believe that many but not all of the issues we face can be fixed by increasing compensation. Namely mandatory 6 day work weeks, high attrition, and burnout.
Even taking this as true, and also taking it as true that we need to build a new research funding system from a clean slate to fix it - that can still be done in parallel while leaving the existing system in place! So as usual the effort of trying to discern some higher purposes is unwarranted, and the goal of these people is to just straight up destroy our country.
Helpful tool. It would be great if I can search app categories instead of a specific app name
One mistake that I see people making about Git is trying to learn more commands, more flags, more tricks, but not trying to really understand how it works. Perhaps it's your case. You know Git enough to use in your daily basis, so maybe it's time to dive into a lower level and then everything else will be natural.

I strongly suggest reading Pro Git, the official Git book by Scott Chacon and Ben Straub, available for free here: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2.

I find it very pleasant to read and it really changed my perspective not only about Git but about how to write code in general. You don't need to read it entirely, but suggest at least these sections:

- 1.3 Getting Started - What is Git?: explains a little about snapshots and the three states

- 10.1 ~ 10.3 Plumbing and Porcelain, Git Objects and Git References: this explains Git in its lowest level, which is surprisingly simple but powerful. Those sections were enough for me to write my own "Git" (you can see it here: https://github.com/lucasoshiro/oshit)

It is pretty common for people to have panic attacks while using cannabis. Those can be the symptoms of a panic attack.

Concentration, cannabinoid composition, adulteration (analogues, enhancement, etc), contamination (heavy metals, pesticides, mold, environmental or biotic toxins) are a few things that come to mind.
The US could pay its debt tomorrow, in full. We'd like to avoid that shock, if possible, but there's nothing uncreditworthy about running a fiscal deficit.

USG revenue/spending should be reasoned about in terms of the resources it directs, and the resulting effects on US and world GDP. Everything else is just accounting.
Ask HN: Why do ML researchers publish papers without releasing the code?
On one hand, I understand commercial/IP interests may prevent full code release.

But this creates a strange situation where a paper presents detailed methodology and performance claims but code generating those results is withheld. The community can't verify or build upon the actual implementation.

The middle ground of sharing methodology without tools to reproduce seems to serve neither research nor commercial interests well.

If protecting IP is the priority, what's the incentive to publish at all?
I wanna say yes but to be fair, I cant prove it. I think without licencing we would get reduced length degrees & more people like nurses transitioning into primary care physicians - and I think that would be fine for a lot of conditions
Schizophrenia develops in the twenties. Whatever his problem is, I don't think that is it.
I agree. There is no way people being annoying about some possibly inconsiderate naming conventions is the same as malicious actors going out of their way to delete information.

I was just pointing out that the companies that changed terminology due to “wokeness” only did it for a PR. It was never an actual endorsement of progressive politics or whatever these dorks try to sell it as.
According to what i remember reading in 2010 (maybe the science has changed in the last fifteen years but I doubt it)

People with the Val158Met COMT polymorphism are more susceptible to develop schizophrenia sooner if they are exposed to cannabis. And that genetic mutation make them more successible to have cannabis use disorder. Knowing that I don't understand the question that this study is attempting to answer.
> The second thing I would do is have useful idiots (i.e., influencers) spread vague anecdotes

An unfortunate factor at play in these matters (and that I note in the article) is that the intelligence services are known to run the occasional shell company [0]. It seems likely that some privacy-oriented providers are actually intelligence fronts - because if you were running an intelligence collection agency an obvious thing to try would be a privacy-focused email company or something.

If it isn't built on a trustless model it isn't trustworthy.

How will LLMs be trained if no humans are making learning materials?
The proper response to scientific criticism is to archive what came before. This is a heavy handed attempt to remove from view science they don't agree with. This is not a 'removal of DEI from government' this is the attempted censorship they've said themselves they're doing away with.

Every accusation is a confession.
I regularly conduct 2 hr long "Intro to the Git Data Model" courses at my workplace (1-2 times a year). I literally take them into the .git directory and unzip the files to show how everything is just plain text representation of basic data structures. It's honestly cool to see it click in their heads.

We have a basic Git cookbook we share with any new joinees so that they start committing code, but most of them just follow it religiously and don't understand what's going on (unsurprisingly).

However, literally everyone who attends the course comes out with a reasonable working understanding of Git so that they know what's actually happening.

That does NOT mean that they know all the commands well, but those can be trivially Googled. As long as your mental model is right, the commands are not a big deal. And yet, the vast majority of the discussion on HN on every single Git post is about the command line.

Funnily enough the class sounds a lot like the alt text of https://xkcd.com/1597/ (Just think of branches as...), the difference is that that is unironically the right way to teach Git to a technical audience, and they will come out with a fundamental understanding of it that they will never forget.

I honestly think it's such a high ROI time investment that it's silly to not do it.
Russia would most definitely not agree to it given that Ukraine is already deploying autonomous drones against it.

> I’m pretty sure they all have Trump’s and Bessent’s authorization.

From what I've (very-superficially) read, zero of the prescribed clearance protocols were followed before giving the DOGE Boys access to highly-confidential systems and data. Perhaps Trump has authority to waive those protocols — but did he do so? He seems to be letting Musk run wild. And when Trump was in trouble for taking classified documents with him to Florida, didn't he claim that he'd "mentally" declassified the documents?
Assuming memory is infinite for the purposes of a program is a very reasonable assumption for the vast majority of programs. In the rare contexts where you need to deal with the allocation failure it comes at a great engineering cost.

It's not really what this is about IMV. The vast majority of unrecoverable errors are simply bugs.

A context free example many will be familiar with is a deadlock condition. The programmer's mental model of the program was incomplete or they were otherwise ignorant. You can't statically eliminate deadlocks in an arbitrary program without introducing more expensive problems. In practice programmers employ a variety of heuristics to avoid them and just fix the bugs when they are detected.
"/soc/" Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. A long time...
> AI weapons are obviously dangerous, and could easily get out of control.

The real danger is when they can't. When they, without hesitation or remorse, kill one or millions of people with maximum efficiency, or "just" exist with that capability, to threaten them with such a fate. Unlike nuclear weapons, in case of a stalemate between superpowers they can also be turned inwards.

Using AI for defensive weapons is one thing, and maybe some of those would have to shoot explosives at other things to defend; but just going with "eh, we need to have the ALL possible offensive capability to defend against ANY possible offensive capability" is not credible to me.

The threat scenario is supposed to be masses of enemy automated weapons, not huddled masses; so why isn't the objective to develop weapons that are really good at fighting automatic weapons, but literally can't/won't kill humans, because that's would remain something only human soldiers do? Quite the elephant on the couch IMO.

I'm very pro some systematic auditing/cleaning of out sclerotic waste, but I don't see how anyone can look at the way this is being handled and not be incredibly worried

I think it's the second-order stuff here. Even assuming Musk were to do a fantastic job at just clearing out inefficiency in a smart way (which seems unlikely given the actions he's taken/leaks around cutting funding based on key-word matching etc.), the higher-order point that someone can just buy their way into the President's inner-circle and have complete free-reign to seize government operations and make changes with 0 transparency/accountability seems like it does just stupid amounts of harm to the integrity of the system

Anything that you can buy off the shelf is compromised.

I use OpenBSD on all my edge devices. It's not perfect but it is superior to 99% of everything else. That combined with poisoning the replies to nmap scans (fingerprinting) puts me in the 'much harder' to compromise category.

"Security through obscurity" isn't security. But "Don't be where your enemies expect you to be" is still good advice.

Also, relying on 1 layer of security is insanity. You need multiple layers, you need isolation.

What? Why? This is a lot better than the alternative, which is Israel being in control of Gaza. And this is coming from someone who actually has friends living in Gaza. This is very good news in my opinion. Americans are an almost neutral party compared to the IDF.

Yes ideally, no one would occupy Gaza but again, the alternative is to let the army that's been genociding them for months occupy Gaza.

Edit:
Though if they actually go through with the plans to displace the local population, then yes it's just a continuation of said genocide. But as a temporary measure, this is still better than the Israeli alternative.

I'm not saying Deno doesn't have merits, I just wonder if this is the thing they should be focused on
Yep. This is Margaret Thatcher type 'thinking' "Society does not exist" ergo soft power has no value. They understand it but deny reality when it conflicts with their false religion/power mania.
I just had a follow up conversation with a lady at work who had said she was voting for Trump because things like eggs were too expensive. Her comment about egg prices now was that she didn't understand why liberals were saddling Trump with egg prices, because the president can't control things like that. She literally did a complete 180 on the topic seemingly without any self awareness. I don't know how to reach people like that. I honestly don't.
How can we afford it? because scientific discovery turbocharges our economy. Why do we have such a huge biotech industry? Why was the internet mostly built in the US? Why are we the only country that has placed somebody on the moon, and have huge launch capacities?

Because we invested in those technologies and they paid off handsomely. What you are seeing is the result of "profit externalization"- laws like Bayh Dole allow universities to profit from the research they carry out under contract with the government.

Everything we did, we did because the alternatives were worse.

When their children are being drafted to go die in some war things will change rapidly. I'd give it a coin flip that's where we're headed right now.

It's only expensive if you throw all data directly at the largest models that you have. But the usual way to apply LMs to such large amounts of data is by staggering them: you have very small & fast classifiers operating first to weed out anything vaguely suspicious (and you train them to be aggressive - false positives are okay, false negatives are not). Things that get through get reviewed by a more advanced model. Repeat the loop as many times as needed for best throughput.

No, OP is right. We are truly at the dystopian point where a sufficiently rich government can track the loyalty of its citizens in real time by monitoring all electronic communications.

Also, "expensive" is relative. When you consider how much US has historically been willing to spend on such things...
So shrill.
While you’re not wrong, there’s a trade off between communication needs and security guarantees. Activism and protesting requires organization, which is effectively hampered by the inability to quickly and efficiently disseminate information.

I’ve read the EFF’s guide and it seemed reasonable for a layman. What caveats or disclaimers would you include that they haven’t already? What more do you feel could be done to make people with these needs safer while helping them pursue their goals?
I highly suspect it won't be feasible for the same reason it isn't feasible in C++: you could technically implement it, but tons of existing patterns in the ecosystem would become impossible to express, so in practice it would end up creating a different language. From a skim, the CLR project you linked to claims that metadata will probably be needed in order to enforce aliasable xor mutable, and I agree.
I mean, I'm not sure how I'm wrong on this; it's possible that Elon's stuff will work out, but that doesn't change the fact that the logical reasoning suggested here doesn't work; it is not implied that firing a lot of people in the government will make it more "efficient".

I did it once, I was indeed really nice, and the discussion that we did after was very cool. I put in the last slide of the presentation some questions for my colleagues answer based on the Git data model, e.g.: "Can we move a commit to another branch?" or "What guarantees that we don't have cycles in the commit graph". I was really satisfying that people came out thinking Git, not only using it!
So how do you do all of that with "a raspberry pi or mini PC"? You would need at least 4 of them.
No, right now the only thing higher ups ask from me is general percentage usages for different types of model/software usages (Anthropic/OpenAI/Cursor and etc.), so we can reassess subscriptions to cut costs wherever it's needed. But to be fair, they have access to the same dashboards as I do, so if they want to, they can look for it.
