>Interesting to think about what structures human intelligence has that these models don't.

Kant's Critique of Pure Reason has been a very influential way of examining this kind of epistemology. He put forth the argument that our ability to reason about objects comes through our apprehension of sensory input over time, schematizing these into an understanding of the objects, and finally, through reason (by way of the categories) into synthetic a priori knowledge (conclusions grounded in reason rather than empiricism).

If we look at this question in that sense, LLMs are good at symbolic manipulation that mimics our sensibility, as well as combining different encounters with concepts into an understanding of what those objects are relative to other sensed objects. What it lacks is the transcendental reasoning that can form novel and well grounded conclusions.

Such a system that could do this might consist of an LLM layer for translating sensory input (in LLM's case, language) into a representation that can be used by a logical system (of the kind that was popular in AI's first big boom) and then fed back out.
US gets unquestionable currency dominance from US' security shield. Don't get me wrong, but if that was a real concern, they would've started the tariff war 4, 6, 8 years ago. Economical and political headwinds are showing potential Chinese dominance across all manufacturing and export industries. This is the actual time when US is being threatened and trying to bully others, because they can't fix the problem themselves.
Dumb decision from Microsoft. Will they remove country borders from Bing Maps because they might be considered political too?
Accrding to the Arch Wiki, it uses the kernel modules. Have a look at section 1.4 here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Waydroid
written 6 years ago: "The binder kernel driver has been present in the upstream Linux kernel for quite a while now."

My work is MIT, as is ts-fsrs. I said anki source code, but I was being hyperbolic. To understand the different exports of ts-fsrs I had to browse around in different repos at https://github.com/open-spaced-repetition (particularly rs-fsrs; which I think is used in Anki proper) as well as read the algorithm https://github.com/open-spaced-repetition/fsrs4anki/wiki/The... and infer by names being used.

I complain here, but this is open source and if I was slightly more ambitious I would submit PR with the missing docs (or at least an issue).

PS. my work is here https://github.com/runarberg/shodoku in case you are interested, but the source code bears the mark of being a weekend hobby project, so read at own risk ;)
Kick it to keep distance. Obviously if you have a weapon use it. If you can get to high ground - on top of a car, on stairs, do that.

If it gets you you just need to let it chomp on whatever bit it has, and use the rest of your body to crush, choke, break it's legs, etc.

Screaming a lot so people come to help probably makes sense too.

If it's a pack of dogs and you're by yourself you're probably screwed. Maybe try to keep them all in front of you, don't let any circle behind you.

It was one of the most complete databases, yes.

>People are going to die because this one website was taken down and there is no other place to possibly read about it?

Potentially yes. Doctors and scientists research these stats, find anamolies or patterns, and use that for research into better treatments or tobevem predict future outbreaks if the strain evolves.

We shouldn't be shocked that experts in a field can do a lot with a more complete dataset.

I'm with you. Looking at the way people respond online to things now since LLMs and GenAI went mainstream is baffling. So many comments along the lines of "this is AI" when there are more ordinary explanations.
Thanks for the feedback, guys! I changed some parts of the article to address the issues pointed by you.

In the end, the overall conclusion remains: this whole dependency hell on Linux is just too messy and fragile, and we should think about a more reasonable solution, like what Android and iOS do.
Have you spent a lot of time trying to hire people? I guarantee you there is no shadow council trying to figure out how to hire "busywork" worker bees. This perspective smells completely like "If I were in charge, things would be so much better." Guess what? If you were to take your idea and try to lead this change across a 100 people engineering org, there would be "out of the box thinkers" who would go against your ideas and cause dissent. At that point, guess what? You're going to figure out how to hire compliant people who will execute on your strategy.

"talk about their past projects, their past teams, how they learn, how they collaborate"

You have now excluded amazing engineers who suck at talking about themselves in interviews. They may be great collaborators and communicators, but freeze up selling themselves in an interview.
If you find the condoms overly sensitive you can try one of the "long lasting" versions.
Why on Earth would one need 3000 people at Klara - a 20 years old product? 5000 people at Spotify? What are all these people doing there?

But yeah, AI as a union buster is an interesting angle to consider.

I think what AI promises to CEOs is not cheaper or more productive workers. It "workers without agencies". No job security concerns, no opinions on how business should REALLY be run, or how it should pay back to the broader society; no empire-building. As such it doesn't have to be more efficient than an individual worker - a fairly low bar in so many businesses to start with - just more efficient than corporate bureaucracy. This bar is even lower.

A promise of the founder's energy, vision and personal incentive - with no human dampers to dilute or bend it, top-to-bottom. That's the promise, and it must be music to owner-operators' ears.
I've never made a bet before, on an app or in a betting shop and have no inclination to ever do so. However, in the UK I'm bombarded with gambling (bingo and 'games') advertisements on daytime TV aimed at trying to convince me it's actually in some way fun to pittle away my money. Then if I watch anything after 10pm on a UK streaming service or live advertising funded TV, I'm absolutely battered with endless gambling site adverts. I'm not exaggerating, every single one of them.
I think the government's sat with it's fingers crossed hoping to ride this wave and reap the rewards until it has to come out with the obligatory crackdown on this psychopathic industry it's allowing to fester and expand at an alarming rate.
It's an epidemic here but it's all fun though guys isn't it? Guys? Nothing wrong with a flutter now and then!
To be fair, the same thing happens when you ask ChatGPT or Gemini why Musk gave the Nazi salute.
What I keep asking myself every day is: how would AI be useful for ordinary people? Maybe I’m biased because I only use it for coding.

The people who have nothing interesting to say in a long form format were never worth following anyway.
I've let people use GPT in coding interviews, provided that they show me how they use it. At the end I'm interested in knowing how a person solves a problem, and thinks about it. Do they just accept whatever crap the gpt gives them, can they take a critical approach to it, etc.

So far, everyone that elected to use GPT did much worse. They did not know what to ask, how to ask, and did not "collaborate" with the AI. So far my opinion is if you have a good interview process, you can clearly see who are the good candidates with or without ai.

Like adverts in general the value of your data or your attention is tiny.

The average American spends $200 (via higher costs for products) for TV each year and receives how many hundreds of hours of adverts in return?

The superbowl for example gets $5 for every viewer, for about an hour of adverts. What’s the average hour of time worth?

Facebook might suck up your data and flog it for a few cents, you’ve probably got more cash down the back of the sofa.
IDK, I think almost all interesting data has no obvious single owner, because it gets created as a side effect of an interaction between two or more parties.

Take the transaction information from example above. The record of you buying products X, Y, Z for total t=x+y+z at time T, with card C - both you and the store could argue they're entitled to it. It's about you and money you spent and products you received, but it's also about them and the money they received and the products that were taken off their inventory. Then the card issuer will interject saying, "hey, the customer uses a card we provide as a service, so we're at least entitled to know which card was use to pay, to whom, when, an what the total amount was!". Then both yours and stores' banks will chime in, and behind them, also the POS terminal provider.

Truth is, they all have a point. We like to think that paying for groceries with our watch is like a medieval peasant paying for fruit with metal coins at a town market. It's not. Electronic payments always involve multiple steps handled automatically, in the background, by half a dozen service providers linked by their own contracts and with their own legal reporting requirements, and each of them really do need to know at least some details about the payment they're participating in.

A simpler example: this comment. It's obviously mine. It's also a response to you, and it only makes sense in context of the whole subthread. Should anyone reply to it, they'll gain a stake in it, too - and then, arguably, everyone following this discussion have a right to read it, now and in the future. After I hit the "Reply" button, I can't in good conscience claim this comment is mine and only mine. This is why I'm personally against the practice of unilaterally mass-deleting of comments on open discussion boards, like e.g. plenty of people do on Reddit, forever ruining useful discussions for the public.

(It's also why I like HN's approach to GDPR, which is, you can get your account disassociated from your comments, and you can request potentially identifying content be removed, but the site won't just mass-delete your comments automatically.)
Was jumped by two large dogs while walking my own once. Long story but my two dogs survived but were badly bitten and torn up. I have a pistol but strapping on a holster every time I walk my dogs is ridiculous. My neighbors said to get the pepper spray gel and tie it to your leash then it’s always with you. Hats what I did.

Btw running from an aggressive dog will probably make things worse. Now they see you as a prey animal and they’re way faster than a person.
I have 23 years of experience and I am almost invisible on GitHub, and for all those years I've been fired from 4 contracts due to various disconnects (one culture mis-fit and two under-performances due to illness I wasn't aware of at the time, and one because the company literally restructured over the weekend and fired 80% of all engineers), and I have been contracting a lot in the last 10 years (we're talking 17-19 gigs).

If you look solely at my GitHub you'd likely reject me right away.

I wish I had the time and energy for passion projects in programming. I so wish it was so. But commercial work has all but destroyed my passion for programming, though I know it can be rekindled if I can ever afford to take a properly long sabbatical (at least 2 years).

I'll more agree with your parent / sibling comments: take a look at the resume and look for bad signs like too vanilla / AI language, too grandiose claims (though when you are experienced you might come across as such so 50/50), or almost no details, general tone etc.

And the best indicator is a video call conversation, I found as a candidate. I am confident in what I can do (and have done), I am energetic and love to go for the throat of the problems on my first day (provided the onboarding process allows for it) and it shows -- people have told me that and liked it.

If we're talking passion, I am more passionate about taking a walk with my wife and discussing the current book we're reading, or getting to know new people, or going to the sauna, or wondering what's the next meetup we should be going to, stuff like that. But passion + work, I stand apart by being casual and not afraid of any tech problems, and by prioritizing being a good teammate first and foremost (several GitHub-centric items come to mind: meaningful PR comments and no minutiae, good commit messages, proper textual comment updates in the PR when f.ex. requirements change a bit, editing and re-editing a list of tasks in the PR description).

I already do too much programming. Don't hold it against me if I don't live on the computer and thus have no good GitHub open projects. Talk to me. You'll get much better info.
> Is it possible your conversation partner had looked up fountain pens recently?

Yes, that's possible — I'd given her a pretty-nice fountain pen that'd been in my desk drawer, unused, for many years (it was a speaker thank-you gift long ago); last night she said she'd been using it, so she might well have done some Google searching on the subject.
Yeah, headlines like these need to be retired. We are an authoritarian state now, too.
thanks for showing me that, as I had no idea.

it looks rather gross to me, and more dangerous than useful. why bother with a half check that can only see if the methods/attributes are present, but that can't guarantee they do what you need? better to not offer such a check at all, I should think.

but I'm not a fan of a great number of things python has been doing over the last some years.

if you were going to do such a thing (perhaps to allow type-safe callbacks from untyped code), I would think a wrapper would be the proper method, that checks the incoming parameters and the outgoing return value, raising an error if those are of the wrong sorts, and possibly further wrapping if something was declared to fit a protocol.
> What's wrong with people getting rich by producing goods and services, and selling these to willing buyers?

If you take this sentence and change "people getting rich" to something else (like "fomenting drug addiction" or "polluting the environment"), does anything change? Whether the inequality is a result of "selling goods to willing buyers" is a complete red herring. If that consequence is bad, it doesn't really matter whether it's a result of supposedly "fair" market exchanges.

Others have already pointed out that it's not really plausible to avoid the "different" problems you mention while still allowing unlimited wealth inequality. But aside from that, how do you know that the buyers are willing? What is the set of alternatives being considered to decide if a person is "willingly" choosing a certain product? It's difficult to even maintain the pretense of "willing buyers" in a "free market" when some individuals control a large market share. Miners living in a company town were "willing" to buy groceries from the company store in the sense that they needed to buy groceries, but they didn't really have any other options for how to express their "market preference".

Even if markets were free, there's nothing inherently good about a free market. What's good is a free society, where people in aggregate have substantive freedom to do what makes them happy. That goal isn't furthered by allowing a small number of wealthy people to pursue their goals while a large number of less wealthy people are unable to do so.
> progressives haven't had a message that reconciles the rights of 0.6% of people with many concerns that the 99.4% have

It is an objectively true moral statement that minority rights ought not depend on majority opinion (that is the whole point of constitutionalism). To the extent that minority rights depend on majority opinion in reality, that is a deficiency of political systems. All of us exist in deficient political systems.

> if somebody discovered a variant identity as a teen I'm skeptical

What is your expertise in this matter? Why do you think your opinion is worth anything? People figure things out on their own pace.

If you think your opinion carries any weight here, you've been fooled.

> She got jumped on because she agreed with them in most cases but not all.

JK Rowling signed the so-called "Women's Declaration International" which has the exact same policy proposals as what Trump is doing. Again, you've been fooled.

> A year ago questions involving access to health care tended to split down the middle, the one recent poll I looked at seems to have moved far to the right in the last year on the issue of transgender care for minors.

Yes, because people's brains have been cooked through immersion in social media.

If you surround yourself with virtue, you will become virtuous. If you surround yourself with vice, you will become vicious. Social media rewards vice, so people have become more vicious.

> I am already frustrated with the bandwagoning of 'neurodivergence' by an autism industrial complex and an ADHD industry that pushes addictive medicine. Neurodivergent people are already 'bully magnets' and the last thing they need is to take on an identity

I have ADHD (according to my psychiatrist one of the most obvious cases they've ever seen), and autism, and I'm trans (both -sexual and gender). So I guess in your eyes I'm a bully magnet (??) who has taken on an identity (???????). In reality, despite the horrible discrimination, my neurodivergence gives me a pretty nonstandard insight into things, and an ability to explain concepts, that I've been able to turn into something valuable to others. (The last 4 technical blog posts I wrote were all front page on HN, with 100-300+ upvotes.)

This has nothing to do with paranoia or delusions. My work is valued for its correctness and attention to detail.
Still so stupid in my eyes. This isn't the public sector, you can't just lay off 80% of the government without a hell of a battle with all the representative powers of the US.

Government's already being sued over these actions this weekend. I just hope federal employees ignore all his actions. They don't work for him (and Trump can't fire most of them in retaliation)
Why does this matter? MS CoPilot uses OpenAI. One view is that if a foundational model is your moat, you have no moat. Even using commodity AI, you can still lead providing a service built on it.
> Nowadays most videos hit the 1 hour mark... I'm not sure if this is what the market demands

For many genres, this is simply what pays the most for the creators.

Some people just flip on a video and let it play — maybe just in the background, maybe as they fall asleep. The ads that get played when they aren’t paying attention still generate revenue for the creator.

This is one reason why any working streamer should pretty much always have some sort of a long-form channel. It makes bank for relatively little additional effort.

It's almost certainly because of the scale at which this type of thing needs to run. There are a lot of YouTube videos.
Presumably this is a big company problem of playing politics safely: They didn't want to take a position on the N country disputes out there by deciding which country code gets which flag and furthermore don't want to acknowledge which country politics are even disputed and so don't support the rest.
What Im surprised about is that no one has abstracted this out so you can run multiple Android containers under LXC. With Waydroid, you have one image. From what I can see they use a custom Linux kernel with a lot of patches and I wasn't really able to get a handle on it, but the LXC interface stuff is pretty simple.

Python has far more options for this if you use some of the newer typing features. For example, it now (as of 3.12) automatically detects covariance and contravariance when you are dealing with generic types, which has made subclassing much nicer for me when it comes to what a static type checker can catch or autocomplete.
You're not too far from the truth -- most mapping services render political boundaries differently based on where you're accessing the site from.
> My approach was to draw an American flag emoji and then look at the pixels to see if any of them contained a non-grayscale color. This works because the Windows fallback emoji is just black/white text

This is the kind of thing that works great for a while, and then an OS update flips the table on how RGB subpixel antialiasing works for the subset of your users with a certain type of display, leading to a false positive all of a sudden.

Chrome could at least expose support like other feature detection APIs, even if they don't go so far as to provide the flags, to avoid this ridiculous heuristic approach.

Aside: my personal belief is that the political charge here lies with Unicode having codepoints for such countries, and downstream dependents of Unicode can readily point the finger. Displaying monochrome text of a country abbreviation instead of a flag doesn't seem like it would appease those who don't want the country acknowledged, anyhow; a "missing glyph" type of thing would come closer.
> He will be approve to upkeep the status quo. A status quo to appeal to their voter base or to appeal to Trump or something like that.

No, RFKJr will be approved because he was nominated by Donald Trump and Donald Trump has a total control of the Republican Party. That's all there is to it.
> once you miss a week and suddenly you have 863 reps to get through to catch up.

You only have to "catch up" ASAP if you want to minimize the risk of forgetting any card at all, and then having to memorize it again. Otherwise, just working through the backlog at your preferred pace is the best strategy; you'll still be recalling most of the cards and the system will push repetitions for those that you do recall further out in time.

Perhaps the Anki devs should add some kind of special workflow in the UX that shows up when the user has a huge backlog to go through due to missed reviews, and tells them this. Because you're right that just seeing a bare number (863 cards to go through!) can be quite scary.
Point of order. They were cancelled.

There was a surge in viewership as they tried to tie up the story prompting the renewal of the show. But way too late. That they were able to pull off season 5 with the scraps and missing major cast members is kind of impressive. Perhaps indicative of what it would have been like had it been produced piecemeal
