The problem is you’re clearly talking about this from the perspective of a personal anecdote.

If you look at the general experiences of a young men, you’ll see that they are discriminated against in university admissions, in early career hiring and in early career promotion.

This is justified by data points which average outcomes over different age groups. The result may be company wide gender balance, but when you break it down by age you see that the it’s not really a balance, it’s just discrimination against women in some cohorts and discrimination against men in others.
I love the comment on the article "Lol. Lmao. You think a watch is going to be the biggest insider threat? What about the unelected foreign national rifling through every server closest in the DC metro area?"
Good question. Two observations:

* there are good reasons why they'd be shy about direct identification,

* "The analysis stems from CVR data Clark County posted on its website. This data is publicly available for download. Links and archived links are provided here, and listed in detail in the final section of this document."

which means that any data wonks (there are a few on HN) can download the same raw data and look to see if this pattern is present (as claimed) and unusual wrt to other election data dumps from prior years, other counties, other countries, etc.
The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it. Physics has to work, organisational processes don't - Maxwell himself wouldn't have been able to understand the travel expense rules at some organisations I've seen, and the right response isn't always to try to reverse engineer what people were thinking when they came up with this crap, sometimes you really are better off throwing it away and coming up with something reasonable from scratch.

You can edit text, at the prompt. Afterwards output is readonly and copyable. Doesn’t make much sense another way.
back then, Nortel bought some Israeli startup. Deal was mostly paid by in nortel stock. Everybody in startup became millionaire over night. So they went to Israeli IRS to negotiate a "deal" for reduced taxes/etc. While they were negotiating nortel stock dived and everybody lost everything.

edit. startup was chromatis. but it was lucent who did buying and not nortel.
You're just regurgitating conspiracy theories and political nonsense from the right.

For example: '$8m to the supposedly independent "Politico"' is for subscriptions. So what? The rest is the same sort of nonsense: innuendo, smears and outright lies.

> Paying for four years if college to get a CS degree, then studying Leetcode, interning, working cheap as an associate/junior used to be seen as a good path, but obviously since late 2022 this has stagnated for most.

What?

Go to a state school, median amount is ~11k a year. Then study Leetcode for a month (free or $35). Buy Cracking the Coding Interview ($33 new). Get a job as a software engineer making a median wage of $140k

Only on HN could someone see this opportunity set and think it's stagnated.

yeah they're vetted, get clearance, and are on a short leash... none of that seems to apply here
Personally, I just mounted an overlay fs against the sdcard on /usr and installed what I wanted against their Arch snapshot and some standalone apps I needed.

Every few months I have to rerun an install script though, if I choose to upgrade to their latest release, since I don't want to risk doing that upgrade with the overlay in place.

But otherwise it's been working well for a couple of years.
You guys are getting full days without power? That’s disappointing. I’m in Australia and since moving a decade ago to a suburb with underground power, I think we’ve had maybe three or four outages that lasted long enough to notice, and all were fixed within a few hours.
I wonder if 4chan is more reliable :?
Don't know about intellegence agencies but I got to know pentesters / red teamers at some large companiese, and they were cool but had a very unsavory side. Several times I found myself in conversations where they were admiting to serious crimes and unethical behavior. I suspect that you need to be passionate about wanting to do bad things if you want to be good at security.
> The U.S. winter virus season is in full force, and by one measure is the most intense in 15 years.

Well, ok. Little known fact, but on average around every 10 years the worst flu season in 10 years occurs.

> About 44 percent of adults got flu shots this winter, the same as last winter. But coverage of children is way down, at about 45 percent this winter. It’s usually around 50 percent, according to CDC data.

Typically we'd expect to be either above or below average. Is this an unusual level of variance?

For an article that is mainly fact this one is remarkably uninformative. I suppose they do a little puff piece every flu season to remind people that we have flu seasons.
Actually, the part that that person was focusing on was that the fertility rate is below the replacement rate. Yeah, if we also decrease our immigration rate, our population could peak out even in a decade or two:

Have you watched the final moments of Nicolae and Elena Ceaușescu?
Just anecdotally, my family and some friends both got pretty bad flus this January. I mean, not sure it was flu, wasn’t covid, but mild to moderate respiratory symptoms with lots of fatigue, coughing and sneezing for like 2 and a half weeks. No fever.
Thanks, yeah, this is definitely a bug or something.
If you don't immunise then you don't benefit from immunisation.

I think that covid is largely considered another 'flu these days or perhaps a cold - I don't know the actual classification. It is certainly virus.

I do know that some of my neighbours, friends and family members have been through a multi week infection of some sort, on top of the usual winter infections.

An old school (pre 2020) cold or flu lasts a few days at most. This thing (whatever it is) lasts at least two weeks.
Ah oops the www. prefix redirect is dead, the bare domain works, didn't know I had places with the www still on there, thanks for bringing it to my attention

Cool links!
The line you quoted caught my eye too and confused why it was in there without an explicit or implicit mention of "in ten years we'll be so productive we'll have 3-day work weeks".

I think you make a great point about LLM's being able to absorb new possibilities. I like to cite the invention of the MRI machine as an incredible innovation that took three independent discoveries over forty years to realize, not to mention commercialize. Maybe if (big if) when AGI comes it will be able to spit out dozens of inventions that are some culmination of similarly independent discoveries but I'm not going to hold my breath. We have to remember they are just extremely good regurgitation machines which, in my experience, why I've found they're nearly useless in niche programming tasks.
Cool! IIRC, his game Alpha Centauri also had procedurally generated music.
The difference in job duration isn’t the point I was making. The President is merely the head of three equal branches that are supposed to keep each other in check, and has significant limits on his/her powers. A CEO has essentially limitless powers as long as they have the job.

As one obvious example, a CEO controls the company budget. A President can merely suggest a budget to Congress.
To me, I see LLMs as the same type of revolution that dragon naturally speaking was to voice to text.

A huge leap forward over existing models, but we've spent the last two (three?) decades trying to close the remaining gap left by dragon in the voice to text problem space, and haven't much progress to show.

I think LLMs are likely to be like that. They are a huge jump over previous models of NLP, but I don't see them improving enough to matter to indicate they'll ever make it to AGI
> I think color is fairly well abstracted, but most image generators are not good for edits, because the generator more or less starts from scratch

It’s unlikely that the models have been trained on “similarity”. Ask it to swap red boots for brown boots and it will happily generate an entirely different image because it was never trained on the concept of images being similar.

That doesn’t mean it’s impossible to train an LLM on the concept of similarity.
All that says is women seem more serious about education and men feel like they don’t need college for their jobs. How does it show men are being marginalized?

My daily interface with Hacker News for the last decade has been https://hckrnews.com/, so I've seen every item that's made it to the front page.

The number of dead posts in recent weeks is unprecedented. Some have upwards of 100 votes. I never saw a dead post in 2017 or 2021 that struck me as suspiciously flagged. But multiple times this week I've written a comment on a post only to have the comment blocked on submission because the post was flagged while I was writing. (or in the case of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42994293, flagged, unflagged, and flagged again.)

There is clearly something unusual happening with flags. There is an obvious correlation between the post topic and likelihood of flags, even when the post's comments are reasonable.

I think this motivated flagging is preventing productive discussion on HN, and it's healthier in the long term for Hacker News to allow perhaps excessive discussions on these currently popular topics. Otherwise HN risks developing a reputation that it systematically suppresses discussions critical of the current administration. I think that reputation would linger for far longer than the temporary irritation some might feel about the currently popular topic.
Technically speaking, the family of viruses that is all coronaviruses (covid-19 isn't the first), are considered part of the common cold group
"LLMs can never predict the next word"
Of course they do, but as a cohort, young men experience substantially more discrimination than young women, because they are being punished for the sins of previous generations.

If you look at the general experiences of a young men, you’ll see that they are discriminated against in university admissions, in early career hiring and in early career promotion.

This is justified by data points which average outcomes over different age groups. The result may be company wide gender balance, but when you break it down by age you see that it’s not really a balance, it’s just discrimination against women in some cohorts and discrimination against men in others.

This is the root problem with DEI. You’re punishing one generation for the actions of a different generation, and pretending that’s fair.
I don't particularly know where I stand at the moment, haven't had enough time to read through it all, but at the moment I agree that the minimum of some sort of security clearance seems prudent. Doesn't seem that inhibiting either way.
TUI for displaying current network utilization by PID, connection and remote IP
Let's not forget that many companies laid off large portions of IT staff in aggregate within months of companies with AI based services claiming to fulfill these roles at less than the labor cost, for entry level white-collar jobs.

The danger itself isn't in AI taking over all jobs because that can't happen, the danger is in destroying the pipeline of professional development so new people can never become qualified because the opportunities don't exist to develop to the point of mid or senior level.

Pigeonholing that AI will take all jobs is just fear mongering while ignoring the elephant in the room.

If you think about how do you develop and train talent (humans) to do these jobs? The fact that most systems within society follow a sequential pipeline process should give you pause.

> Let's not forget that many companies over hired during COVID.

That's a bit misleading because there was extreme demand for those professionals at that time. You had to move quickly and transition your workforce to work from home in weeks and months, for what would normally take a year or two.

The work was done, and technically there's even more demand now that companies are trying to force RTO, and the rising costs of cloud forcing repatriation.

They still fire all those people not because of a slump in demand but because of industry cooperation and AI. IT is a labor multiplier, and its never been correlated with interest rates historically. The only factor in the same time period is the broad marketing of AI to replace workers.

Honestly I think you need to divide "Nix" up into two:[1] a language interpreter and the build system/sandbox. First nix interprets the expressions. It does that in your local context - so that, if it's configured to, it might read your .aws/credentials file to get access to resources stored in your S3 bucket. Once it's established what it needs to build, then the build system takes over and sets up a sandbox and runs bash scripts and other commands to produce output. I had conflated the two for some time and it caused my a variety of confusions that are resolved by observing the distinction.

(Also, I tend to think it's better to view NixOS as a tool for producing a linux distribution, which in many cases just happens to have an installbase of 1 - but that's not necessarily the case, and you could build your images with NixOS and deploy a dozen of them to aws.)

[1]: this was meant to be a joke, but it occurs to me that a person might think I missed that they had divided "Nix" up into two, the buildsystem and the language. But a language is not a command and doesn't do anything, so it can't possibly be an interpreter as well - and there could be and to some degree is multiple nix interpreters. So it is the first of the divisions of Nix that I sliced in two, and you end up with three Nixes: the buildsystem/sandbox; the main language interpreter; and the language.

Covid & Flu A/B tests are in most drug stores these days and usually run about $5 more than covid only tests.
You can entirely ignore it only in the sense that sticking your head in the sand is an option. A small but growing fraction of the text you read and images you see were generated by an LLM, and since 2023 at the latest they've been good enough that you cannot reliably tell which fraction it is.
Still perfectly cromulent though

The timeline for some things is way longer than 10-20 years and, in cases like data collection, we simply lose out forever.

What we're seeing right now, and it's not just the US, are policies that risk depriving future generations of data that may be critical to solving problems 50 or 100 years from now. If you say that collecting water quality data is a waste of money because we don't have problems with water quality, that's a permanent decision that can't be reversed and will adversely affect future researchers. It's incredibly frustrating.

In the bridge example above, even with bridges failing after 30 years, the average person won't be able to assess whether or not it was a success or a failure. You'd have to know the cost of initial construction, lifetime maintenance costs, replacement cost, the value gained from short term savings, etc.. Coming up with a calculation to categorize it as a success or failure could be difficult if everyone is acting in good faith. Throw in politics, partisan interests, propaganda, etc. and it seems almost impossible.

No matter what side people fall on politically, everyone should consider unbiased, non-partisan data collection a vital government service. If you disagree on how the data should be collected, do it both ways and debate the merits as long as you want. Just make sure the data stays available.

I find it shockingly absurd how the All-In podcast hosts blindly support everything one of their own does. It’s obvious they treat Musk like a god. In the latest episode, they even made fun of concerns about privacy, claiming that all people care about is the state not wasting money. - completely dismissing worries about data exposure.
On mastodon I noticed an interesting approach: to warn in a visible manner that a topic is "sensitive". Not sure if that triggers less aggressive behavior, maybe its even the opposite? But just as there are instinctive red dots that grab our attention there might be digital blue dots to calm us down.

Those kinds of motors are usable, but they have a lower energy efficiency than permanent-magnet motors, which causes a lower range for an electric vehicle.

In all applications where it is possible to use motors without permanent magnets, that is usually done, because the motors without permanent magnets are normally cheaper.

Just look in this thread for how many posters here are 100% certain that irreparable damage is being done - because they want to feel mad.

There is no proof of anything bad. Regardless how many people want that to be false, oddly.

So I guess tough to not think that the worldwide media that has been receiving government money would be mad and willing to focus on ”a handful of 20 year olds” as a means to discredit.

What I find strange is that it’s working so well. So many people here KNOW so much that hasn’t been reported or happened.

I was listening to MLK's speech the other day, and he said he wanted his children to be judged by the content of their character, and not the color of their skin. Seems like that's not what is happening today, racism (and sexism) is alive and well.

I have the same relation with Kanata. I've grown so dependent on it that it's the first thing I have to set up on a new install.

Thanks to it, I'm using a Miryoku with Colemak-dh layout over a Razer Mechanical keyboard. I even removed the extra keys from it, which makes the keyboard a sight to see.¹

But Kanata is the real star in this show, making all the magic happen.

It's so flexible and configurable that through its blessings I've finally gone completely mouseless. I just keep my hands steady on the keyboard and my thoughts get converted to whatever action I need on screen. The humanities writer dream!

I have great respect for jtroo for creating this software. It's a perfect example of how well designed software allows to go beyond the seeming physical constraints imposed by hardware.
