Please, please everyone watch the incredibly disturbing video I link below.

The video was created on Nov 14, right after the election. It is about the plans of 6 billionaires (Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Marc Andressen, Ben Horotwitz, Brian Armstrong, and David Sacks) who refer to themselves as Dark Gothic MAGA.

The video regurgitates the words of these 6 men. Don't take anyone's word for it. Listen to their own words about their plans.

Here is what billionaire Marc Cuban says in the video:

>“… what’s happening in Silicon Valley is insane. It’s not so much a support thing. It’s more like a takeover thing. Trying to put themselves in a position to have as much control as possible. They want Trump to be the CEO of the United States of America and they want to be the Board of Directors that makes him listen to them.”

My experience working for Tyler Technologies in the Courts and Justice division opened my eyes to the absolutely arrogant and basically consequence-free mismanagement of public data in the hands of private enterprise. The fiasco with JudyRecords.com is absolutely important to keep in mind. If anything, I find stressing "efficiency" in government is simply a cover for "gutting functionality" because anytime something doesn't fit in "the model" of services then it simply gets dismissed.

Is this a technology equivalent to burning the libraries of old? Once the data is gone, come on, do you think any reasonable efforts will be made to restore it? Frankly speaking, is the course DOGE taking a mandate by the people to be enacted by representatives in the government or is it vice-versa, that "we are changing your society whether you like it or not" is the fundamental principle.

Then again, I just got out of jail after a year on a made-up Terroristic Threat charge politically motivated, so my perspective is likely skewed regarding motives and actions of those who have unchecked power at their disposal.

Languages don't really exist in isolation, especially general purpose languages. They depend on community for things like libraries, support, compiler & tooling development, etc.

You can use a dead language if you want, but you're going to lose out on all of that. And you'd better not ever want anyone to help you with your projects...
Impeachment is unlikely because the GOP has to kowtow to Trump to survive him and his base. The path is to beat down red states and their electorates with tariffs. The direct economic harm is the only lever to pull, and therefore a coalition of nation states is needed to specifically target red states collectively.
I live in South Africa and anyone who has talked with game rangers has probably heard how lions very rarely prey on humans, but once they’ve done it once, they’ll tend to do it again and again.

Typically victims are people illegally crossing international borders within the large Kruger National Park and the lions who attack them tend to be old solitary males who are starting to get too weak to hunt game and opportunistically try a human they happen across.

They find it works and feeds them so they do it repeatedly.

So if game rangers find a human killed by a lion, they always track the lion down to kill it so as to prevent more deaths of humans.
Price discrimination is not a priori bad. A fixed price with enough margin to support the business may be too high for price sensitive consumers. If you can charge more to less price sensitive consumers, you can, at the margin, make a little bit on these price sensitive consumers, and overall everyone is better off - more consumers are satisfied and their marginal willingness to consume a unit of the thing being sold is more equalized.

Just checked my list of VMs in UTM; 5 Linux (Ubuntu, Debian, and Fedora), 9 Mac OS X/OS X/macOS (versions stretching back from Tiger to Sequoia), and 10 Windows (XP through 11). Lume would need to support not only Windows but also emulation in order to consider a move.

I think GP's point is that this says as much about the interview design and interviewer skill as it does about the candidate's tools.

If you do a rote interview that's easy to game with AI, it will certainly be harder to detect them cheating.

If you have an effective and well designed open ended interview that's more collaborative, you get a lot more signal to filter the wheat from the chaff.

I read this to get up to speed on RL for LLMs. If you have limited time, I’d recommend reading the entire first chapter covering the basics and some terminology and then section 5.4 on RL for LLMs.

I struggled a lot with the first chapter, and had to look up a lot of terms that weren’t defined. But ultimately it was one of the most worthwhile things I read, and has helped me follow along with other important papers.
yes, the biden admin was pretty bad but what do you think about the trump administration?
Small nitpick from an Austrian - Austrian German is Hochdeutsch, it's a pluricentric language with three distinct centers - Austrian, Swiss and German German are equally valid versions of Hochdeutsch.

That being said, German also has hundreds of distinct dialects - from Viennese to Platt.
That’s already possible but not that interesting as a weapon except for pinpoint strikes.

I think gzip was 5M. This all depends where you are using it e.g. on a Raspberry Pico I'd be using gzip no matter the extra bytes probably.
the shared summaries sounds like a great idea to save most people's inference cost! There might be some details need to figure out - e.g. the summary per post need to be associated with a timestamp, if there are new comments kicking in after that (especially hot posts). Still i think it's good useful feature and i will definitely read that before browsing details.

I'll answer the, "Does disabling it void your warranty?" question. The answer is almost always "no". Unless the modification you make to something actually directly or indirectly caused damage to it, companies in the US cannot "void the warranty".
Valid point, but at least that was mathematics. This paper isn’t even math, it’s a data control flow masquerading as math.
I haven't used Anki for a while now. I've had an aversion to it since I completely burnt out after my A levels.

I primarily added Anki cards from Obsidian. I'd have a heirarchal note structure for the subject (e.g. physics -> paper 3 -> astrophysics -> stars -> star type categories). Then I'd have my plainly-formatted notes, and below it I'd have some flashcards. The Obsidian4Anki extension let me create cards from the markdown.

The cards would strictly be on the topic in the note, generally be written around the same time or a few days later, and would be Q-and-A or clozes.

So as an example, "What colour is an O class star::Blue" would be in my notes and turned into a matching card, or "A {1:type 1A supernova} always has an {2:absolute magnitude} of {3:-19.3}" would create three cloze cards.

At the top of each note I'd use a note property to specify the notes' place in the Anki heirarchy, and I'd use the first three parts of the Obsidian heirarchy. So I'd save it as Physics -> Paper 3 -> Astrophysics -> [many, many cards]. I always duplicated notes to make new ones, so I rarely touched this.

Generally I'd practice all the physics cards at once, but categorising them this way let me drop the paper 1 cards once I'd done it and focus on paper 2 and 3 etc.

Honestly, though, I first started this when I was fourteen. My notes and my Anki decks were a complete mess compared to when I stopped when I left school four years later. You'll find what works for you - and clean things up - as you go along.

There’s some disagreement over whether or not GRPO is the important part of deepseek or not. I’m personally in camp “it was the data and reward functions” and that GRPO wasn’t the key part, but others would disagree.
Is there actual evidence of this, like anywhere?

Facial recognition on a small corpus of known faces (what everyone experiences on Facebook, their phones, etc) is an easy problem.

Walmart picking up a face walking into a store and matching it against 30 million possibilities is going to return so many false positive matches it’s going to be completely useless.
> We do not find an appropriate donor and harvest them. This is the trolley problem, applied.

I don't think that matches the trolley problem particularly well for all sorts of reasons. But anyway your point is irrelevant - his claim was that the trolley problem isn't about real humans, not that people would pull the lever.

Edit: never mind, I reread your comment and I think you were also agreeing with that.
Why Is This CEO Bragging About Replacing Humans with A.I.?
Unfortunately even if we could get everyone to be tested, not everyone can take the meds. I had to take a profilact dose after an accidental needle stick when I was a student nurse. The starps box was next to the light switch, and whomever collected the patients blood did not make sure the needle was actually inside the box. That medication made me feel like I was dying, and that was only for a couple of weeks. Newer better meds have come out, but there are always those people that can't take those meds.

In Germany, the major cross-merchant loyalty program Payback gives you one or two rounds of extra consent choices about the tracking, and the type we see here is absolutely not mandatory for participating. It does of course let them give you more personalized and useful coupons, but one can participate while declining that permission.
I guess the missing context here is how long the podcasts/playlist is vs how long your journey will take. I can see it being an issue if they are short, in a mixed order and you need to skip ahead etc.

I've a habit of stopping every two hours on longer journeys for a rest so that's when I would organise content for the next leg of the trip.
> The coding challenge is supposed to be solved with AI. We can no longer afford not to use LLMs for engineering, as it's that much of a productivity boost when used right, so candidates should show how they use LLMs. They need to be able to explain the code of course, and answer questions about it, but for us it's a negative mark of a candidate proclaims that they don't use LLMs.

Do you state this upfront or is it some hidden requirement? Generally I'd expect an interview coding exercise to not be done with AI, but if it's a hidden requirement that the interviewer does not disclose, it is unfair to be penalized for not reading their minds.

There are ways to adequately approximate that kind of price discrimination without detailed tracking though, like giving discounts to students, seniors, and people receiving various kinds of welfare benefit upon showing proof of status.

Yeah it isn’t as accurate as the privacy-invasive kind of tracking, since students and seniors can be wealthy and eligibility for welfare benefits doesn’t always consider assets or gifts from well-off family. But it’s accurate enough to give the economy most of the same benefit without the privacy downside.

I do think it’s fine for people to opt in to more tracking as a separate consent choice beyond merely participating in a loyalty program, for example to get more personalized and therefore more useful offers, but not as a condition of participation to merely receive at least standard offers and accumulate points. That’s how they generally work in Germany.
It's a rather nice wm, or at least it was some twenty years ago when I used it between something I've forgotten and IceWM.

> Are you aware that the US did this before

No because it wasn't even remotely the same. In 2022 the average tariff on Chinese imports was 2.86%, 0.01% on Mexican goods and 0.12% on Canadian goods.

Besides that the first term tariffs were targeted and not applied universally to all imports. That "great/fantastic deal"(USMCA) that Trump "negotiated" back in his first term kept most trade with Mexico and Canada more or less tariff free.

TBH it's hard to tell if you're being purposefully obtuse or not...

> The reason that it’s not simple to calculate

Yes and while I very well might be wrong I just don't see how is the 2.8% figure arithmetically possible.

e.g.
https://www.fitchratings.com/research/structured-finance/eff...

had different calculations (of course it assumes 60% on China and 10% on all other countries besides Mexico/Canada so it would be well below 21% but not 2.8% either).
If you have a switch with port mirroring you can send the traffic to another device and monitor using something like Suricata.
Yes, my judgement too from messing with Claude and (previously) ChatGPT. 'Ridiculous' and 'cultish' are overton-window enforcement more than they are justified.
> Well, you can't "just" cast any of Rust's integers to a pointer because they're not necessarily the same size (one of the changes to Rust is the decision that usize is not the same size as a pointer only the same size as the pointer address

You can though, in practice on a non-CHERI system and if you avoid optimisations.

I haven't looked but I would expect the change you mentioned was made precisely because of CHERI, where a pointer and address are different sizes. On all other platforms Rust supports they are the same.

Ugh, I knew I'd get 10 different replies all saying the same thing about how he's going to get around it. Yes, I know. My point was that making a comparison to Joe Biden as the parent did does not follow, since Biden was not term-limited.
That's not really a comparable narrative arc though. Breaking Bad is a character drama, not a mystery box structure. With only some limited exceptions, which clearly were planned out in advance of their resolution, the driving question of Breaking Bad is "what are the characters going to do", not "why/how did that thing happen".

Glasswire does both monitoring and filtering IIRC, but I haven't used it for quite a long time now.

The job of Prognosticating Groundhog has weathered many technical revolutions: I don't think AI is going to be the one that puts them out of business.
That is not actually what happens with most acquisitions, especially not in the drug and biotech space. Big enterprises buy promising startups at the phase 1 or 2 stage fully intending to bring them to market. But still many fail to ever make it through phase 3 and gain FDA approval. That's not an innovation problem it's just the nature of the business.
> I still have a couple of features missing before I can call it done enough.

I've checked your website and HN profile but there's no email to contact you, so here are some simple suggestions: when you enter a deck, I would suggest you add 2 shortcuts or buttons: one to randomly jump from the present card to another one of the same deck, and the other to randomly jump to another deck in the review set

This is because when faced with a sequence, the brain learns the order the element in the set, which may affect recall.

Being able to randomize the set helps prevent that, and give better results.
> I don't see why we would need another aconym jargon for this.

Also, I know. My only point was that comparing to Biden doesn't make sense, since when Biden was running again he was not term-limited.

is any of this comparable to banning any acknowledgement of the existence of trans and intersex people in anything connected to the federal government?

in fact refusing to define a term doesn't sound like banning at all. to ban is to forbid somebody else from doing something. to refuse to do something personally isn't banning.
