Fire your unionized US workforce. Replace them a cheaper non-unionized workforce. Sell the goods at the same price. Increase your current profit margin while protecting future profit margins from unions.

Like half the reason why people do manufacturing in China is because all the manufacturing is there. If you had a problem with the item after it's been molded you can go to the molder and see what's going on. Then walk across the street to the plastic supplier to get them to adjust their output to fix your mold issues. That's not a Chinese specific thing, you can have this situation anywhere as long as the industries are co-located.
We visited Iceland recently and asked a tour guide some questions about naming conventions; apparently that's fine for visitors, but to get Icelandic citizenship, you're apparently required to have an Icelandic name.

(Granted, maybe there was a communication gap there; maybe it would only be required of any children we had there?)
Perhaps because you would have even less idea what it is doing if it goes wrong.

The advertisements are one thing but the fact that 90% of sports talk shows now revolve around gambling is maddening. Even the shows that have nothing to do with gambling will talk about lines, odds, parlays, etc. It makes it nearly impossible to watch any sport. Not to mention, having shows dedicated to gambling vs sketchy ads really legitimizes the industry for the younger generation.

Postgres Index Meets Bcrypt
I've read that paper. The strong claim, confidently made in the OP is (verbatim) "they don’t engage in logical reasoning.".

Does this paper show that LLMs "don't engage in logical reasoning"?

To me the paper seems to mostly show that LLMs with CoT prompts (multiple generations out of date) are vulnerable to sycophancy and suggestion -- if you tell the LLM "I think the answer is X" it will try too hard to rationalize for X even if X is false -- but that's a much weaker claim than "they don't engage in logical reasoning". Humans (sycophants) do that sort of thing also, it doesn't mean they "don't engage in logical reasoning".

Try running some of the examples from the paper on a more up-to-date model (e.g. o1 with reasoning turned on) it will happily overcome the biasing features.
how so? if you are a parent you only want the absolute best for your child. so if your child (based on race/sex/...) is apparently discriminated against wouldn't you want what's the best for your child? it is exactly the take that gets to the root of these silly discussions, if your child is X and Y has all these "apparent advantages" wouldn't you want your child to have them?
It’s run by the Harvard Law Library (i.e. backed by a multibillion-dollar university that is substantially older than the country it’s located in) and operated as a decentralized network across multiple public and private library systems.

One other thing that has disappeared from common use(although I have seen it done among some "higher" circles still) is using the husband's full name for the wife here in the UK.

So if you have a man called "John Bridgerton", his wife would be referred to in certain circumstances as "Mrs John Bidgerton". Like you'd get an invite to the King's Ball, and it would say:

"Hereby inviting:
Mr John Bridgerton and Mrs John Bridgerton"

OK, then if Taylor Swift were born in Iceland, she'd have been called Taylor Scottsdóttir, because that would be the naming tradition. And if she were a man, and her wife had children, they'd take the surname "Taylorsson" or "Taylorsdóttir". But more realisticly, if she married her current boyfriend and they moved to Iceland and followed the Icelandic tradition, their children would take the name Travisson or Travissdóttir

However, if she moved to Iceland, at a time when they still used phone books, people would look in the phonebook under "T" for "Taylor", as they'd look under "B" for "Björk", as in Icelandic society the "surname" doesn't have the same importance, given it changes every generation and isn't passed on like it is in other societies.

I recall when those guys in the UK (?) had their plan to explode a plane by mixing some volatile chemicals in the plane toilet. IIRC this kicked off the whole no liquids requirements. At the time I remember reading an article by a chemist on the chances of actually pulling off what they wee planning to do, and it was comical. To not just make a giant poof that mainly singed off some hair they needed to carefully mix the liquids in an ice bath for about 1h (without anyone noticing) and every little shake could potentially mess up the whole thing.

He then went on to what he considered dangerous and mentioned a couple of powders which you can easily bring on board which are much more devastating.

There was a company about 15 years ago that developed a double ended jetway so you could load and unload from the front and back simultaneously. They said it shaved about 18 minutes from loading and unloading (combined). On the average flight this would be the equivalent of going about 100mph faster for seemingly a simple change.

They installed a few in Denver and I believe in Calgary. Unfortunately one in Denver had a problem and collapsed and hit the wing of a plane, and so they ripped them all out and no one ever tried again.
I still use Google frequently because the LLMs I've tried are bad at giving sources for claims, and there are some things I can't check by running them through a compiler.

No, it's just the truth. Trump, Elon and the people they surround themselves with have gone out of their way to paint democracy as a broken system that keeps power out of the hands of "strong" leaders. Whether it's praising dictators for imprisoning their opponents, boosting "Dark Enlightenment" posts, or casting doubt on our election because a drunk Rudy Guliani whispered it to them, these are not people that give a fuck about democracy.

That there are still people that think these are jokes or "not what they really mean" speaks to a fundamental cognitive dissonance that can't be repaired. Their intention is right in front of you. It's just a question of who will enable their vision.

My initial thought was that in certain English accents, including some from the northern parts of the UK, the r is "flapped" or "tapped" similar to an r in Spanish. With a tapped r, the pronunciation of "Rick" is much closer to that of "Dick".

However, further research has turned up that rhyming nicknames have been a thing going back centuries and "Dick" is one among many.

Yes. Renaissance had a huge store (over a million volumes across 4 stories) downtown for years that was pretty sketchy, with bookshelves full of copies of the NEC from the 70s collapsed into the aisles, just laying in piles, and hundreds of copies of titles assigned to high schoolers boxed up on their upper stories. Really sort of a warehouse for their tidy airport location. They now have a small second location in Southridge mall, which is a appealingly dingy. Their downtown competitor, downtown books, which was less of a dump downsized about 10 years ago to a single story from 3 stories but is still downtown in a different location.

Show HN: Petme – a social platform born from rescuing a kitten
Hey HN!

Three years ago, I found a tiny kitten in a trash can in Sofia, Bulgaria. I took him home, named him Lindoro Incapaz, and he became my coding companion during the creation of Petme.

Like many pet owners, I was frustrated with existing social platforms. And creating separate pet profiles always seemed odd – pets are family, not side projects. So I did what any reasonable developer would do - I locked myself at home for a year and built Petme!

It’s been a solo dev journey, learning UX/UI design along the way (built with Flutter!), and pouring my savings into it. But seeing the community grow and people genuinely connect over their pets makes it all worthwhile.

Petme isn't just another social app, I've reimagined how pets exist online:

- Integrated profiles where your pet isn't a separate account, but part of your family
- "Petme Talks" to share those ridiculous conversations you have with your pets
- Pet relatives feature to add your family members to the pet profiles
- Music therapy for pets (yes, really)

Would love to hear your thoughts! Was I crazy to build this? Do pet-focused social platforms make sense to you?

Curious what the HN community thinks!

>We locked down the supply of physicians in 1997 via Congressional limits

This part though is wrong. We temporarily limited the number of resident slots, but total number of residents has been growing for a while now. Not as fast as many people would like obviously.

Just looking at the numbers for recent years the total number of residents jumped from 134k in 2019 to almost 163k in 2024.

If you look at total number of physicians per 10k people, that number has been growing a steady rate since the 60s.

There are now 2x as many physicians per capita as there were in 1975.

I agree this is the biggest issue. Too many folks are passing off the potential behind this stuff...this might replace the person beneath me but... As a one person manufacturing business, I've augmented 5 positions that I otherwise would have needed to hire.

Educate me. I find them useful but they are less so when you try to do something novel. To me, it seems like fancy regurgitation with some novel pattern matching but not quite intuition/reasoning per se.

At the base of LLM reasoning and knowledge is a whole corpus of reasoning and knowledge. I am not quite convinced that LLMs will breach the confines of that corpus and the logical implications of the data there. No “eureka” discovery, just applying what we already have laying around.
> Which in a dark ironic manner is one way of keeping things equal, one won’t be taken seriously for 5 years, the other won’t ask for help for 5 years!

Doesn't this explain why doctors could take men complaints more "seriously"? If doctors are aware that men wait longer before asking for help, they'd know that there's a smaller window for a positive outcome in the event of a serious underlying medical condition.
I agree. I use SetAlias ss Select-String or gm / Get-Member but you’re right the language is too verbose.

I’m not sure how “racism is bad” requires the idea that “we are all equal by nature”.

“Racism is bad” means that the law should treat us equally and that you should not treat people differently based solely on their skin color.

I received my PhD in applied physics and had colleagues, collaborators, and some published work in this (very broad) field. Although I'm familiar with the programs, my advice is not specific.

The question you have to answer first is: why do you want a PhD? Is it to do science for as long as possible? Is it to contribute to the frontier of human knowledge? Is it to participate in an global research community? Is it to land a tenure track job? Or do you not know the questions and their answers (which is fine!)?

I'll offer myself as a case study. I knew I wanted to make something tangible (hence device physics / photonics), I knew I wanted to explore the possibility of continuing in academia, and I knew that I would enjoy working in industry. I structured my PhD to go for a high risk/high reward research topic (with the thinking that if it pans out, academia would be viable without having to go through an extended PhD and multiple postdocs, which was off the table for me). I also set up to consult on industry projects, and started poking around the local startup incubators and B-school entrepreneurial offerings. My school (and PI) choice was motivated really by these factors: how I judged the impact of potential research being done by the team, how plugged-in and amenable was the environment to extracurricular work, and how supported I would be to a transition to start-ups/industry.

Figure out what you want, and treat your PhD itself as an experiment w/ testable hypotheses. If you're not sure about something, how can you build into the experience a way to find out? Is it a class, a side-project, the local community that can help? There are many factors to take into account when choosing a school because we all weigh those factors differently - once you decide what's really important to you you'll get better-tuned advice.

The problem here is that Musk's statement is meaningless drivel. That suits him fine because his purpose is not to convey information but to create an impression. The impression he wants to create is that the system is fundamentally broken and that only he, the great and wonderful Elon, can fix it. It does not matter for his purposes whether the statement is true or not. In fact, it suits his purposes best if, as in this case, the statement is neither true nor false because it is essentially meaningless.
