Anyone on "the other side" (problems with that framing aside for now) who doesn't understand and accept this is only serving to make the problem worse. This is the result of people's disillusionment with government from both sides of the aisle reaching a boiling point. Anyone could have seen it coming, and anyone who wants to fix it needs to understand where the other side is coming from, and not just paint them as evil stupid idiots.

Compromise. It's essential to peaceful co-existence of a group of humans of any size. At some point along the line, America seems to have lost that quality.

I was just about to post this. There was a MLST podcast about it a few days ago:

Lots of related papers referenced in the description.
Him, probably not. His estate, however, potentially. Perhaps one could get a loan, using his SSN, and his estate gets the bill and subsequent harassment.

SSNs make terrible secrets and it's insane that you could harm a live person by knowing their SSN. I doubt that insanity stops just because you're dead.
Other people have mentioned this… but it’s been established in policy that the SSN of a deceased person is not PII. There are a ton of different ways to get the SSN of someone who is deceased.
Good question. The options are figure out a way to improve moral expectations or move to damage mitigation of reducing the scope and power of government officials
Uhh . . . what? The entire point of RICO is to prosecute organizations that are literally arranged for criminal purposes. It was designed to go after the mafia dons who gave the orders to kill people and do gangland stuff, but then had a bunch of henchmen to do the dirty work.
The difference is that today's digital natives regard computers as magic and most don't know what's really happening when their framework du jour spits out some "unreadable" text.

The problem is that mid, upper management and execs don't much care for how we feel about it.

They are literally measuring who is using AI and how much and will eventually make it into an excuse for poor performance.
Yeah but a movie costs $10-20 retail and costs much less to deliver technologically speaking.

All that fancy “you’re really there” technology costs a lot more with diminishing returns on the running costs.
> I never claimed it was the main reason people voted for him, that's your straw man argument.

I never said you claimed that either. But if "people voted for it" (with the "it" being DOGE or whatever it was called at the time of announcement) then you would expect that topic to be listed within the 20 top items people cited as their reason for voting.

If you're now trying to equate electoral victory with blanket policy approval then I don't know what to tell you.
I'm in a business tangential to the one the author is in and I've mostly encountered annoyances automating websites which perform browser fingerprinting including TLS fingerprinting, but outright blocks not really, not unless you also block real users like cloudflare and datadome frequently do (in their cases, automations have a marginally lower bypass rate than real users do).

In my experience, the level of sophistication to automate bypassing WAFs which do fingerprinting is much too high for those skills to be used to click ads. Seriously, it's not just about the compute cost of running real browsers and residential proxies, it's also the dev time invested, nobody clicks google ads when they can do much, much more with that knowledge.
No part of this explains why Linux should be changed. It just means the new project has a lot of work to do.

Attention works better on smaller contexts since there's less confounding tokens so even if the LLM can see the entire context, it's better to keep the amount of confounding context lower. And at some point the source code will exceed the size of the context window; even the newer ones will millions of tokens of context can't hold the entirety of many large codebases.
For Lazarus, use the BGRAImage package for webp.
If that were the requirement, documents would not be made public/declassified unless the entire document was considered safe to release.

I think you are significantly misrepresenting what the author said. He didn't say he has no idea what control variables are. What he said is:

> The "controlling for" thing relies on a lot of subtle assumptions and can break in all kinds of weird ways. Here's[1] a technical explanation of some of the pitfalls; here's[2] a set of deconstructions of regressions that break in weird ways.

To me this seems to demonstrate a stronger understanding of regression analysis than 90+% of scientists who use the technique.
The worst offender is "feature". In my domain (ML and geo) we have three definitions.

Feature could be referring to some addition to the user-facing product, a raster input to machine learning, or a vector entity in GeoJSON. Context is the only tool we have to make the distinction, it gets really confusing when you're working on features that involve querying the features with features.

It sounds like you're thinking purely about the speed of a skilled typist. Alternative keyboard layouts offer a tangible ergonomic benefit even at lower WPM counts, and can have a lower hunt-and-peck time for novices by clustering frequently-used letters together. (This last effect is particularly pronounced on small touch screens, where the seek time is non-trivial and the buttons are much too close together for any sort of real touch-typing.)
Containers take seconds to start so a container must always be running. Wasm starts in microseconds and most Wasm platforms scale to zero by default because they do not suffer from cold starts.

Wasm also offers incredible density characteristics. The same application hosted in a container has a much larger footprint than the Wasm equivalent, ~hundreds of MBs to GBs compared to a typical Wasm app that is typically <10MBs and often KBs. Wasm is based around a linear memory model such that it supports binpacking by the runtime. Where a system may be able to run hundreds of containers, thousands of Wasm instances can be run by a single Wasm runtime.

The typical cost savings for using a Wasm-based serverless platform vs a container-based one is significant. This is dependent on the language and workload, but I generally expect +30% efficiency.

Containers are not secure by default and are generally not considered an appropriate sandbox. Wasm was designed to run in the web where sandboxability is a critical requirement and first principle of the design. For serverless, this means a single Wasm host may be multi-tenant. This is why Fastly, Shopify, and Cloudflare use Wasm for serverless workloads ($$$ + safety).
This is a great, and b/c pulling from podcasts, can handle hard languages (eg. Hungarian). Smart. Some thoughts:

- Buttons to click thru examples for words, waiting is slow

- Partial load of podcast screen (for speed)

- Playback controls for podcasts would be nice (skip, ff, 1.5x)

- Define word in hover would probably be faster/more seamless + pronunciation

- Search bar for known words + alphabetical.. (OR if heard N times -> known)

Also, get the avoidance of gamification, but would like some sort of progress tracking (mins listened, lexicon, % of top 1k frequency). Will play some more when signups work.
I know for a fact this method was not the primary method for pirating e-books from Amazon among the 'scene'. However, it was likely the most accessible for everyone else.
The real question is when does something break that causes near-universal outrage. Unless something breaks in the near-term that most people care about, nothing will change.

> And I doubt it is that easy, because smart people, at a.o. HOT OSM, have been building exactly this: tools to automatically categorize, detect, rate etc, mapping data from satellite imagery. Not to bypass a CAPTCHA, but to make editing and improving OSM data easier.

I apologise if I caused any offence. I certainly didn’t intend to.

I claimed building a bot to bypass the captcha was trivial. For a captcha to be bypassed, it needs only perform better than a human doing the same task on average. Because humans make mistakes captchas also require a margin of error.

A bypass bot does not need to be able to annotate all buildings on the earth perfectly.

OSMs problem is that not that ML cannot do solve problem but rather they would like the result to be close to perfect and apply it on scale to the entire earth. This is a harder problem than detecting errors in a handful of images.

There is a lot of academic literature on the subject of “building footprint extraction” if you are interested:

Is that a crime?

I imagine it's a crime if you have a security clearance. But as far as I'm aware these guys never promised not to give away classified information.

Of course they can be pardoned, and they don't even need a pardon if the Justice Department decides not to prosecute. But just as a matter of idle curiosity, has any law actually be violated?
You should probably approach some of the people investigating this.
> ... it's just a matter of time until someone else steps in to exploit that feeling for their own gain.

This is quite literally what is happening.
On the magic box concern, Wasm is pretty different from the other serverless approaches (isolates, BEAM, JVM-based, etc) that can be a bit more “magical”. A Wasm component can be inspected prior to compilation, the binary itself is a declarative definition of the capabilities needed to run as function imports. Those imports are standardized via WASI. This is one of several reasons why a Wasm binary is more portable than a container where it can run on any CPU architecture, operating system, and environment with different capabilities.

From a local development perspective, it’s so much easier to use a Wasm component that uses interfaces like the blobstore. For development I can use implementations I have in my local dev environment, e.g. a local FS, but in production I can use the same abstraction to connect to S3. This gives you serverless without requiring the entire services stack.
> I doubt that insanity stops just because you're dead.

It really does stop. What can you do with someone’s SSN? Get loans, open bank accounts, receive government benefits, set up utilities, etc. It harms someone because creditors falsely believe that the SSN’s holder owes the debt, or the government believes that the SSN’s holder received benefits, etc.

People who are falsely reported as dead have a difficult time doing anything… certainly a hard time getting loans. It’s certainly going to be hard to make a claim against an estate that’s been closed for a couple years, with a debt that is dated after that person’s death.
Why would you apply to work in this debacle. Ever.
i do wonder if this could be mitigated by sufficiently popular newer libraries submitting training data of their library or whatever in action

But they clearly left the year visible so blocking out the AUSA's name seems dumb too as it wouldn't be hard to look up who were the AUSAs to narrow down who was named in the file.

The entire redacting seems just so superficial
This reminds me of an apocryphal business story: a bunch of managers were sitting around discussing a request to give more training to employees.

One manager asked, “What if we train them and they leave!?”

To which a more senior manager quipped, “What if we don’t train them and they stay?”
This would be a symptom of bad management, not bad developers.

And to add to what others have said, this stereotype never really held up in my experience either. Any serious web dev shop is going to have the framework they use and stick with it for both long- and short-term clients. And there are many mature options here.

I don't doubt this happens, a lot, but again, I think it's more about bad management than anything - and bad management will always make bad tech decisions, no matter the topic.
Hard to change at 68 years old. Longer life expectancy is a curse collectively when you consider rigid mental models and longer times to accumulate wealth and power, while having an emotional need to signal power and status.

Jamie could say "We support flexible work as long as our performance targets are being met," but he cannot. "We trust our workers to do the best work where they want to work," but he does not trust his workers. It's just how he's wired. "Do what I say or else." You can't take the bully out of some people.

I agree with you, but I feel like this argument is kind of lost in a place like HN where even if the $100 million was going to ensure that orphans got warm beds and enough vitamins, someone would come along and say "yeah but why is that the government's job?" and ignore the point that, well, if you want to debate what is and isn't the government's job, you should probably do that in such a way that doesn't disrupt the lives of people who were accepting legally distributed aid.
for Cursor, if you use OpenAI api key for example, it's kinda cripple because the tab edit model is also proprietary.

Depends also on how you sit.

If you've got straight posture sitting in an office chair the weight of the headset is not cantilevered.

If it is the end of the day and you want to splay out on the couch and watch TV or play games it's a different thing entirely.
Not an alternative transformer like you asked for, but OptiLLM looks interesting for squeezing more juice out of existing LLMs.
> Some were punished and some were not.

That sounds expected? I read Telford Taylor's book about the first Nuremberg trials. Of the 24 accused, three were acquitted. The jury (and even Taylor, who was the lead prosecutor) felt that some people deserved to hang and others didn't. Not everyone in a position of authority beared equal culpability for the war.

Maybe some Krupps were evil and others not; guilt by family association is not a thing in the western legal framework.
Quick note on the horizontal scrolling marquee, the text for Chinese (中国人) means Chinese person, not the language, which for Chinese would be 中文. Might want to check the other ones too!
This kind of context is really useful for LLMs, but in any significant project, including all code in this manner will easily exceed context limitations. I've been wanting to do something like this for my php projects, but instead of dumping the entire files, would just create a map of its methods signatures, variables, etc. That should give good enough information of what each file is used for and can do, while being small enough to be ingested by AI.
I don't know if they can replace Delphi and VB6 for your use case but gambas and I think Pharo both come with a RAD tool
can you describe the process. does zed support custom endpoint for tab edit already?
A) a lot of what is censored ends up being publicly-known information already, so it's not a matter of safety but rather public image (imo), and B) this creates a perverse incentive to associate national security (...or other sources of unsafety) with unrelated topics to avoid having to hold yourself accountable for your work.

Plus, there's little way of knowing for the documents for which we haven't seen the uncensored version if they aren't just censoring arbitrary things.

It may be reality, but it's still pretty bad for any government that pretends to value transparency.
Someone recently put it that it’s the first 10% of adoption that sets the future for a product.

There are people online calling it the “tech adoption cycle” but this is a concept I encountered in a literal Business 101 class. 2.5% of the population are Innovators. 12.5 are early adopters. Then there’s 70% in the middle where most of your cash comes in, and by the time the laggards hit you’re optimizing for cost per unit because you’ve had to drop the price so much due to competition from copycats and from the next new thing.

So by the time 60% of your early adopters are onboard it’s already been decided if you’re on a rocket ship or this is just a burp.

Early adopters have a high tolerance for inconveniences but it’s not infinite. If they bleed enough they will find something else, and then you are DOA.
I'm not sure what the point of traditional exchanges are anymore. In 1890 it made sense to have a common place for the agents of everyone who want to trade to be in one room so that when you wanted to buy stock your agent could match you up with someone else who wants to sell. However computers can do that digitally these days and so all an exchange does is give rules (keeping the worst scam companies out)

I mean I'm not arguing for it as a best practice. I did it as an experiment (as I stated), and discovered it's actually really easy, and snappy for me to navigate in Vim. Mileage may vary with other editors. Have you tried it?

> Massive files or too many files break AI models

It's growing faster than I code! With the latest Gemeni at least it's much larger at 1-2 mil tokens. I'm sure we'll hit a ceiling though, but I also think we may find some context caching / rag type optimizations eventually.
Germany has BaFin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Financial_Supervisory_...), a federal agency that does the same thing. You missed my point entirely.
I speculate a bit as a hobby and have found it's very easy to say oh this will work or that will work and then find something that goes wrong in a way you didn't expect. It's surprising how many ways it can.

An example in fact is with looking at the resting orders you can think they are real but they are often kind of faked to try to drive the price one way or another, in crypto at any rate. It's easy to forget you are not just dealing with numbers but with experienced players on the other side trying to outsmart you.

In fairness to the guy I think he's just trading his own money for now and looking to maybe make it into a fund down the line.

Having spent the past week deep in cursor, it's amazing for building out a basic web app.. but getting it to a point of productivity takes a while..

Command line install for latest svelte.. nope npx install is now deprecated, have to do it another way.. ok, let's go old school and read the docs.

Great, it's up and running, but nope, Svelte has just hit V5 and the LLM isn't aware of the changes.. ok, do I drop back to 4 on a new code write, or spend the time to get a decent .cursorrules in place to make sure it's using the right version.
Ok, that's in, but look tailwind is too new too.. ok, fine let's get that into .cursorrules..

Oh look, daisy has a v5 coming in 15 days, luckily I got in there just in time..

I thought svelte, tailwind and daisy were the one true way nowadays!

I now have a rule in my cursorrules that asks for any errors that I spot in the code (related to wrong versions) results in both the fix and a rule for the cursorrules so it doesn't happen again. That works well.
Don't kill the messenger.
