Wow.

When we started Amazon, this was precisely what I wanted to do, but using Library of Congress triple classifications instead of ISBN.

It turned out to be impossible because the data provider (a mixture of Baker & Tayler (book distributors) and Books In Print) munged the triple classification into a single string, so you could not find the boundaries reliably.

Had to abandon the idea before I even really got started on it, and it would certainly have been challenging to do this sort of "flythrough" in the 1994-1995 version of "the web".

Kudos!
Publishing weights? Meh.

Publishing code and data would lead to abolishing copyright.
14 years as originally intended would be fine. All the classic movies up to 2010, and I still have to pay a subscription to watch, and lots of them are unavailable because the studios want to haggle over licenses for 50 year old properties? It's the kind of thing that might drive a man to pirate.

If your book hasn't made you rich in the first 14 years after publishing, I'm sorry, audience just isn't that into you.

(I am aware movie deals can languish for many years before finally landing a deal, and with 14 years studios could just wait you out and there's no incentive to write a script anymore, but copyright should be 14 years after publishing right? And movie scripts are not generally published before they get made into a movie, if ever.)

I never finished The Americans but The Shield had the most perfect ending possible for that show and it was amazing! Worth checking out for anyone who has not already seen it.
I don't know if these statistics are even kept, but the current social environment in the US feels like a ripe breeding ground for cults. I've had so many people in the past couple years be like "I just want to farm with my friends and family and get away from all this".
What's the plan here ?

Tariff war with all main trading partners ? According to Trump EU tariffs are coming in soon.

US can win any tariff war against a single country. They maybe could win against China or EU or Canada / Mexico alone. But all of them at once ? This is going to be a disaster for the US.

Because of current sky-high stock market valuations, US thinks it's the only game in town. We will soon see if it's the case.
The tide is turning, and it's only when the tide goes out do you discover who's been swimming naked. US is in for a big surprise.
Perhaps. Rationalists are also known for updating[changing] their beliefs. They do this under the guise of "doing" Bayesian reasoning. It may be that susceptibility to cults is an edge case of this meta-congnitive position. Or in other words, stubbornness of beliefs may be a defense mechanism against cults.
And in general that set of descriptors provides no compressibility. BWT is much richer that that set in that the way it works performs well for data we care about.

Describing a multiset takes as much information as the multiset contained to begin with, on average. BWT somehow works better on things of use.

There's definitely overhead with the GenericWriter, seeing as it uses the AnyWriter for every call except `write` (1)

genericWriter - 31987.66ns per iterations
appendSlice - 20112.35ns per iterations
appendSliceOptimized - 12996.49ns per iterations

`appendSliceOptimized` is implemented using knowledge of the underlying writer, the way that say an interface implementation in Go would be able to. It's a big part of the reason that reading a file in Zig line-by-line can be so much slower than in other languages (2)

I am enjoying the form and structure but still uncertain about the substance.

I do hope they have a narrative arc planned with a satisfyingly metaphorical conclusion and will not, like certain other shows in a similar genre, meander from one surrealist allegory to another because additional seasons were ordered. The only truly exemplary production I can name in this vein being the sole season of The Prisoner (McGoohan, 1967-68).

Be seeing you
How can people help? Sounds like a global index of sources is needed and the work to validate those sources, over time, parceled out. Without something coordinated I feel like it is futile to even jump in.
Neat, but it doesn’t answer the question. It would be nice to see how well you scored compared to others.
Slow Horses (also on Apple TV+) is currently my favorite - Gary Oldman is crushing it. Severance is my second favorite of the last decade.
I'm sure it makes sense to the most indoctrinated of the cult members.
Alternatively, it incentivizes companies hiring locally, and/or investing in infrastructure to make commuting faster.
The headline needs another word. Maybe browser-based agents. I assumed this was about browser user-agents.
Thankfully you don't need to. You can run your own, and treat the ISP modem/router as if it were the Internet.
Copyright is just not prepared for AI. Training with copyrighted material could become "officialy legal" under copyleft terms, at least when the amount of training material exceeds a certain threshold.
Short answer is 'bugs', possibly even in the reviewer's own software. Opus (and I would fully expect AAC-LC) preserves time alignment. Something unknown, somewhere unknown, in an unknown part of the unknown software chain caused an unknown shift, and it's not necessarily by an integer number of samples. You can't use this 'enh, whatever, good enough' approach and expect to do meaningful null analysis, even if you're using it inappropriately.

In all seriousness, every aspect of this comparison is somewhere between deeply flawed and invalid. No point dwelling on just one part.
It's basically impossible that it's a random irrelevant detail, I'd say any such detail is fair to share.

For example, if every member of this group was Indian American I'd consider that a fair detail to note, the chances of that happening at random are minuscule, yet that's orders of magnitude more probable than all of them being trans for no reason.
> The community/offshoot I am part of is mostly liberal/left

There isn't an official "rationalist" community. Some consider LessWrong to be the center, but there have always been different communities and offshoots. As far as I know, a lot of the famous rationalist figures haven't participated much in LessWrong for a long time now.

The far right offshoot I was referring to is known as "TheMotte" or "The Motte". It was a gathering point for people who were upset after the Slate Star Codex comment section and subreddit banned "culture war" topics because they were becoming an optics problem.

It's easy to forget because it's a "don't talk about it" topic, but after culture war topics were banned from SSC, The Motte subreddit had significantly more activity than the SlateStarCodex subreddit. They eventually left Reddit because so many posts were getting removed for violating Reddit policies. Their weekly "culture war" threads would have thousands of comments and you'd find people "steelmanning" things like how Trump actually won the 2020 election or holocaust denial.

The other groups I was referring to were CFAR, MIRI, and Leverage, all of which have been involved with allegations of cult-like behavior, manipulation, and sexual abuse. Here's one of several articles on the topic, which links to others: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/MnFqyPLqbiKL8nSR7/my-experie...

Every time I discuss this on HN I get downvoted a lot. I think a lot of people identify as rationalists and/or had fun reading LessWrong or SSC back in the day, but don't understand all of the weirdness that exists around rationalist forums and the Bay Area rationalist community.
Those are still in the cooker, we'll throw them up asap once they're ready.

Some demos we will have are:

- Logging into twitter and tweeting

- Scraping anything from wikipedia like current events etc.

- And more!
Huh, this was mostly written 3 years ago at the time of season 1: https://github.com/Lumon-Industries/Macrodata-Refinement/com...

Looks like it's not an official thing, it's a fan project: https://twitter.com/shiffman/status/1512075150857965574 - here's the YouTube video (2h52m from a livestream) where Daniel Shiffman introduces it, at about 34m in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Vmcm25cSTU - then talks through how it works.
If you want to use Visual Studio Code the 'DevKit' extension which provides essential features (language server) is proprietary and requires a Visual Studio licence regardless of platform.

Also I find since C# is an 'enterprise' language developers take the p--s in what they want to charge for, as enterprise will pay as a 'cost of doing business'. Recently FluentAssertions, a freakin test assertion library decided they wanted to charge for newer versions. You don't get that in other languages like Python/Ruby etc.

Don't get me wrong, C# is my dayjob and I love the language but for personal projects where I don't have the money I'd be hesitant to touch it.

Data is not the ultimate fact check. Data can be skewed in infinite ways to represent whatever you want.
Realistically, the copyrighted works that are most valuable to training machine learning models, at least if we go by The Pile as typical of training data [1] is:

- Web pages; hard to argue that royalties are due since these are publicly available for free

- Scientific papers; these do cost money but the copyright is typically owned by scientific publishers

- Github, Stack Exchange, HN (yes); these are freely available, sometimes by license, so hard to argue for royalties

- Wikipedia, Project Gutenberg; these are also free by license

So the actual consequence of what you're proposing (or at least the realistically-enactable version of it) is the big AI firms paying scientific publishers a lot of money. Is this actually good? Is Elsevier, a basically pure rent-seeker, really more worthy than AI labs, which maybe you don't like but at least do something valuable?

"People with depression had a median of 24 teeth, while those without had 25 teeth. Users of removable upper dentures had approximately twice the odds."
I have no skin in the game. I was just around to witness this all go down.

The rationalist community I was talking about is well known. They split from SSC after the ban on culture war topics. They left Reddit a couple years ago because so many of their posts were getting flagged by Reddit for policy violations.

I'm not making this up. You can go see for yourself: https://old.reddit.com/r/TheMotte/comments/uaoyng/meta_like_...

Why Trump won is an interesting topic. There is a mixture of reasons but I think high up there was Biden pulling out last minute and Kamala being unpopular with little time to do a campaign. She also had the backfoot of having been in power while there was inflation and support for the Gaza genocide. Therefore Trump won less then Kamala lost.

There is a subreddit dedicate to people both democrats who refused to vote, as well as Trump voters whose policies as promised would severely harm them and their family's interesf (severe as in life/death). Why did they vote against their interests.

For example anyone on any kind of benefits, or whose mum and dad are, vets or if your cousin or uncle is one, Latino, even if you are from a long line of american citizens you may have friends who are 1st gen. More generally anyone not white, male and in the top 5-10% of wealth. Because tariffs won't be good for poor people. And poor is
probably: under $1m assets.

Google trends for tariffs surged after the election. People voted on feelings. Anger, despair or some sense of "Trump means them not me" or maybe "He is successful in business so he must be good".

Unfortunately the rational thing to do often sucks eggs!
The part about a cockroach colony is a bit unfair.

Insects love electronics, with the heat and noise they generate. And when electronics sit in storage for a long time, the critters can crawl in from neighboring items.

This is just as likely to happen with a non-ISP router.

Ok, in all fairness I don’t have any stats to back up that claim. But nobody else does either.

That open source router you love so much may have been sitting in storage even longer.

I have mixed feelings about ISP routers, and ISPs in general.

But insect infestation is a serious issue in consumer electronics and has nothing to do with ISPs.

IRC is still there, you can still use it if you dislike Discord. No-one is forcing you.

Reality is that IRC has so many issues (netsplit in 2025 LOL, retaining messages, lack of rich media, fragmented extensions to name a few) which is why it's not being used.

These are two bold claims. What are some independent sources for each of them?

They certainly run counter to decades of my own experience.

Presently: For every person I know on ADHD meds, I know more who are unable to get them. The vast majority of Dr's are too afraid of the DEA to prescribe them.

It's difficult to recognize a health crisis when all exterior signs point to the opposite.
And they look like shit anyway.
Even if they are small enough to be run be individuals, this still doesn't solve the issue of profiting from someone's work for free.

Many of us publish our open source work under GPL or AGPL with the intention that you can profit from it but you have to give back what you built on it under the same license. LLMs allow anyone to launder copyleft code and profit without giving anything back.

If people who downvote bothered to reply, they'd probably say that by being "absorbed" into LLM weights, the code served that purpose and is available for everyone to use. That forgets 2 critical points:

- LLMs give no attribution. I deserve to be credited for my fractional contribution to the collective output of humanity.

- LLMs are not intelligences, they don't suddenly make intellectual work redundant. Using them still requires work to integrate their output and therefore companies build (for-profit) products on top of my work without compensating me, without crediting me and without giving anyone the freedom to modify the code.
Great question, so right now you can do both. It does work better if you simply enter in the url for your task.

For the url generation we do we have safety checks for the urls however it's simply in the prompting. I would love to hear what sort of safety suggestions you have and/or concerns about this sort of experience. Right now we're still figuring out how best to enable people to utilize agents safely.
My ISP sent over a Fritz!box (though they offered a "bring your own" option as well). It came preconfigured for my ISP.

I turned off remote access and TR-069 through a toggle in the settings, then changed the admin password. Really, that's all you need to do to take control of one of these routers.

There are good reasons to dislike the AVM routers, but their software is actually pretty solid in terms of customisation and network security. It's not a bad device, and the large scales ISPs can order them at they can be had for a significant discount as a rental compared to buying your own in a store.
maybe browser AI agent? Good note we didn't think of that.
What is "unintentionally dog-whistling" supposed to mean?

Isn't intention the essence of the concept of the "dog whistle"?

I'd also like to observe that Scott Alexander does a yearly survey, which provide unusually robust evidence that if we're going to impute to him the cultural affiliations of those who read his posts, his politics can only be "all of it".
Thanks for the feedback! I get what you mean. Since the levels aren't infinite, my initial idea was that anyone who can spot all the colors will finish the initial version of the game. But I'm planning to add score comparisons if people like it. Appreciate you playing!

I disagree. It's common for any criticisms of rationalism or the rationalist community to be dismissed as having ulterior motives. Even the definition of rationalism is set up in a way that it is de facto good, and therefore anyone suggesting anything negative is either wrong or doesn't know what they're talking about.

I don't know, I write Swift on a Mac targeting macOS or iOS. I usually have Xcode open to build/run/debug and for documentation lookup, and alternate between that and VSCode for actually writing the code; worst thing about Xcode for me is the find-replace, that's probably the biggest reason I keep VSCode open.

I have my own, because the idea of paying $5/month at the time seemed silly. It does seem like more and more, ISPs are trying to make it harder to bring your own modem, which feels like a cash grab.

Even 10 years ago with Comcast I’d have to call them and challenge their gaslighting to get it working. The model I had was listed on their website, but they would tell me it wasn’t supported. About once a year they would kill it and I had to call to get it working again, where they would again tell me it wasn’t supported, but with persistence on my part, they’d eventually register it and get it working again. I haven’t had as many issue with this recently with Comcast, but I figure it’s only a matter of time.
Show HN: Cain, a script I made to keep track of my dotfiles and keybindings
What is cain and what does it do?

cain stands for Collect And INstall

Think of cain like a little robot that helps you keep track of dotfiles, keybindings, and desktop environment settings and easily install them on a new computer

I made cain because I was having a hard time keeping track and updating individual repositories for configs

Cain makes it easy to make your computer exactly like you like it on a fresh install and it does those two things

First, the install script will download all required programs and put all of your configuration files in their respective places

then it gives you a command called "cain" and sets up a crontab that will grab the most recent version of those files automatically, and commit them to git in the cain directory.

if you look at the code please lmk if you find bugs

Hey, I didn't confuse them but I guess I should have been more specific. I've addressed 2 main points in my text. 1) In my opinion, for the vast majority of cases you don't need to be worried about comparability, as you can easily install better alternatives to gzip for platforms a lot of people use. 2) I think zstd can become a primary replacement for gzip due to its high speed of compression and good compression ratio, even when compared to such great algorithms like xz/lzma. Sacrificing some compression ratio for (de)compression speed is worth it, for me at least
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42902355 also disappeared from the front page very suddenly earlier. This also gave me the impression there's either more active moderation of a certain class of stories atm, or the audience is flagging them a fair bit.
It would be nice to see:

How many questions there are in total. For e.g., question 1/25 leads to 2/25, etc.

How many were answered correctly. (There are a couple that I'm not sure if I got wrong or was lucky in guessing.)

How one's score compares to the baseline average. (Not to other players, because other players could be re-taking the test many times or cheating. Take 25 random people, have them play the game once with no training or coaching, and use that as the baseline.)
My theory is that all the severed employees are doing various maintenance tasks to keep the floor functioning. Like the hospital in Yes, Minister that is closed to the public but has 500 employees, all of them overworked.[1]

Take O&D for instance, their full time job appears to be to just create art and handbooks used on the severed floor. Perhaps all the departments are like that. MDR could be doing some sort of ongoing maintenance for the severed system itself, like emotion or memory control of the employees on the floor.

I believe the "point" of the severed floor is not the actual work that's being done, but the act of keeping them occupied while they are experimented on. Besides Mark S and Cold Harbor, I believe there are hints of other experiments being run. The dreams Irving B has during work seem unique to him, and it's uniquely affecting his outie as well. I also believe recent events in Season 2 with Dylan G could be the start of another experiment.
