I'm so sorry to hear about what you are going through.

one small piece of advice from someone who had to do something similar with close family: Look into death doulas. Though your FiL is not dying, these people have a lot of resources and experience and may be able to assist you as life is so chaotic.

Again, so sorry to hear about your situation and what you're going through.
So these people are sending classified specs on American military vehicles to people who just happen to have a bias toward Russian vehicles?

It's like at the end of every bubble. From someone who sees it daily - there are an increasingly large number of obvious sham AI companies. There are articles about it, words we use for them.
This is awesome. Nicely done
Pretty sure Trump doesn't actually want that. If Canada became a US state, it would add two US Senators, and several US Representatives. Those new members of the US Congress would be likely to not be Republicans.

Mind you, I don't know if Trump has thought that far. But "own Canada, but good bye ruling majority"? I'm not sure he really wants that.
I always find that very confusing, every time I see that in the mobile app (where it's featured pretty prominently) I'm still searching where I can see the other language version before I realize that's the symbol for it.

I feel like a globe icon is much more obvious.

The Economics of Local Newsletters
Hey HN - I'm an economist studying the newsletter industry. Thought you may be interested in this analysis I did studying monetization in local newsletters.

Local newsletter: a newsletter serving some local population with events info, business updates, local politics, etc. Typically operated by a single operator or a small staff.

They have become increasingly popular in many metros as local newspapers have been shutting down.

For this analysis, I wrote a Python scraper to parse 765 issues of one local newsletter - the Naptown Scoop. I used gpt-4o to help identify and classify the advertisers in each issue, which allowed me to analyze what types of advertisers are most common, and what types of advertisers drive the most revenue in local newsletters.

Happy to answer any questions both about the analysis and the data collection.
Fortunately the free market takes care of this and there are plenty of other EV's consumers may purchase.

Email:jobs@edcunneen.com

I’m Ed Cunneen, a software engineer and creative technologist with four years experience in machine learning, real-time systems, and music technology. Lately, I’ve been diving into brain-computer interfaces and neural network classification. Before that, I worked in the audio space as a VST developer, building processing units and crafting tools for creatives.

My biggest strength is quickly getting up to speed on new topics with minimal guidance. I’m always curious about what I don’t know yet.

If you’re looking for someone who loves building cool things and learning fast, I'd love to connect.

It's not 'emotional labour', it's kin work
I don't think this comment has much to do with me.
That’s not reality. Not all companies have 1000 candidates. Not all companies have even 30 candidates.
If 20% of people don't care about being correct, the rest of everyone can deal with that. If 80% of people don't care about being correct, the rest of us will not be able to deal with that.

Same thing as misinformation. A sufficient quantitative difference becomes a qualitative difference at some point.
Well even if you are right what is supposed to be done now? Other comments are telling to take it as opportunity and make most of this bad situation. Since OP does not want to leave what is your suggestion? Complain every day at work? Complain to HR? Do no accept new project and wait for next move from management?

Not every go-to guy is CEOs right hand who just goes in fires old team and put in new one in first month. Most of the time even go-to person has to make it work with existing teams.
I don't think so. Instead of SEO, I think we'll soon see 'LLMO' dominating such uses, where LLM summaries are reshaped by vendors and etailers to misrepresent facts in ways that favor them over others.

I suspect this can be done simply by poisoning a query with supplemental suggestions of sources to use in a RAG, many of which don't even have to be publicly available but are made accessible to the LLM (perhaps by submitting hidden URLs that mislead the summary along with the query).

But even after such a practice is uncovered and roundly maligned, that won't stop the infinite supply of net con men from continuing to inject their poisons into the background that drives deep research, so long as the LLM maker doesn't actively oppose this practice actively and publicly -- which none of them have been willing to do with any other LLM operational details so far.

In fact, I predict that if a LLM summary like DR's does NOT soon provide references to the sources of the facts it relies on, in no time users will disregard such summaries to be yet more uselessly unreliable pfaff from yet another net disreputable -- as we do with search engine summaries now.
Wow, such a beautiful article you have written. Usually, I’m not into reading much but after very long I’ve completed a full article with such interest. Thanks for it !!
Even if that were true -- which until proven, it's not -- Trump and his henchmen do not have the authority to change it.
Thanks for addressing this. One of the things that's most discomfitting about this is that I can pretty clearly see the path ahead of me that I would've taken, and it's one where I'm very confident I would've been able to do very well. At some point I'll have to radically accept the situation but I'm not really there just yet.

I wasn't too impressed by neuromancer even back in its day because I had read gibson's brilliant short story collection "burning chrome" first, and felt neuromancer didn't quite measure up to it. I feel like a lot of the stories in "burning chrome" would still hold up well today, for that matter.

You can use them for whatever you like, or not use them. Everyone has a different bar for when technology is useful. My dad doesn't think EVs are useful due to the long charge times, but there are others who find it fully acceptable.
OpenAI says its models are more persuasive than 82 percent of Reddit users
I wouldn't be too upset by that. Enough people, including my Sr Director and other important people, know this, or would be able to easily infer this, and I think I'm in an org where fortunately people are mature enough to understand people have feelings about work. I don't foresee any work consequences from this, though I'd be a little embarrassed anyway.
I don't think autoregressive models have a fundemental difference in terms of reasoning capability in latent space vs token space. Latent space enables abstract reasoning and pattern recognition, while token space acts as both the discrete interface for communication, and as a interaction medium to extend, refine and synthesize high order reasoning over latent space.

Intuively speaking, most people think of writing as a communication tool. But actually it's also a thinking tool that helps create deeper connections over discrete thoughts which can only occupy a fixed slice of our attention at any given time. Attentional capacity the primary limitation-- for humans and LLMs. So use the token space as extended working memory. Besides, even the Coconut paper got mediocre results. I don't think this is the way.
I already do this. It gives me an opportunity to trim the contact list to people I actually talk to regularly which I send the new number too. Also shows me my footprint online since I have to update the number. I only change it for places I actually use regularly or are important.

I don't directly use any Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta or Amazon products and don't have accounts for any of these. I have one (almost always) off-line Mac used solely for music production, and I realise some web services I occasionally use will be hosted on Azure or Amazon or possible use Google services behind the scenes.

All my computers run Linux. I flashed my Android phone with LineageOS as soon as I bought it to remove all direct Google dependencies. My browser of choice is Firefox, I use Open Office and a raft of open source software alternatives including utilities I've written myself.

For news I have RSS feeds which, yes, will sometimes take me to Reddit and YCombinator. But I'm also active on Mastodon and other ActivityPub apps; that sector is growing steadily in both user numbers and software maturity.

It's a byproduct of the naïve belief that climate change means it gets hotter (and little/nothing else), to which "just move north" is a logical conclusion. The truth is closer to climate change means more extreme weather happens everywhere, and things get hotter up until -- and here's where my knowledge of science may be much less up-to-date -- a critical mass of ice at the poles melts, and which point the temperature plummets.

By definition a lot of areas will be hit hard and some areas will be hit less hard but it's not going to be along a north-south axis.
Perhaps there exists an internal incentive program in which employees are rewarded if they find new ways to integrate copilot and related technologies into other MS products.
This is the trend of every US auto manufacturer though no?

It's not like somebody is making a 25k SUV; the average price for a new car is like 40+k. Why leave 15k on the table?

You can't just replace Musk and Tesla starts selling a 25k car.

Sorry - what do you blame Canadian leadership for? What did they do?
I'll preface this by saying I've only watched season 1 of Severance so far.

I have never heard anyone involved with the show suggest this, but I feel pretty strongly that it's based off or at least inspired by Greg Egan's "Learning To Be Me".
Never give a phone number to anyone.

You didn't 'happen to know someone who made t-shirts' if you were around the scene. If you went to the skate park regularly, Bennie was always there, and Bennie hustled struggled by doing things like make t-shirts to support the scene. Bennie always had decks/trucks/stickers/t-shirts for sale out of the back of his car. If people were working on a park or a ramp or something Bennie let everyone know when and where. So you couldn't not know Bennie if you regularly were around. Hence not knowing Bennie meant you weren't regularly around.

I thought it pretty directly started from the cliffhanger. It took three episodes (at a much faster clip than Season 1 episodes) to deal with the consequences of that cliffhanger, but that's the nature of the severance procedure itself, half the characters can't directly talk to the other half.
