As an American who appreciates a strictly literal interpretation of the first amendment, it's very funny to me that a German not only takes pride in their government hunting down and suppressing inconvenient speech, but wants the rest of the world to fall in line.
There's often some intersection of one or two toxic individuals (or at least perceived as such) and someone who, for whatever personality or life circumstances reasons, just isn't prepared to deal with it. It's not commentary so much as an observation that people putting themselves out in public invite, rightly or wrongly, public commentary.

Some communities can also just become disproportionately toxic as a whole.
Could you not just remove the mounth piece with a flute and the horn with a straight pipe?
The comment you replied to said "income-restricted", so they probably mean a building covered by government programs that give preferential tax, planning, or other treatment to developers who commit to below-market rent, with tenancy restricted to households meeting income limits.

These are common in large American cities. The problem tenants are a minority, but the landlord lacks the usual incentive to address them since the building will always be full, since it's below-market. The landlord may also be a social benefit organization that's politically disinclined to evict.

Non-market housing tends to go badly in the USA, including programs closely resembling those that have succeeded in other countries. The reasons for that are complex, though I strongly suspect that the weak mental health system (many of the worst problem tenants would be institutionalized elsewhere) contributes.
I think it suffers from 2 very specific things, the brilliance of automatic and nevermind being released in the same year.

But it has 2 more important things in its favor. It turned me on to REM and the rest of popular music that year. The album holds up better than the hate it receives but in its own era it is an amazing bright spot.
I gave up on both X and Reddit because for whatever reason they're both annoying echo chambers full of edgelords.
Seconding this. Bookshop.org is a terrible experience if you want to read on your own eInk device.

I had to purchase the book I wanted from a different seller at double the cost.
There are hundreds of thousands of restaurants across the US, ranging in size from a food truck to McDonald's.

You can have a big idea that makes no money (like Quibi, a streaming service that raised 1.75 billion and shut down after 6 months). You can also start as a door to door salesman selling baking powder and accidentally create Wrigley's gum. You can also assemble custom computers as a side hustle and then scale the business to become Dell.

You have no clue what's going to become a big business. You have no clue what idea will require a lot of work, and what idea will just go viral. Candy Crush makes more money than No Man's Sky.

The thought that you can predict what idea will make it big is laughable. VC's invest in hundreds of companies because while they're pretty good at picking companies, they know it's largely a crapshoot.
That's really not trivial. But Europe is trying: https://blog.ecosia.org/eusp/
Can you rephrase your comment? I'm not sure what you're asking for a citation on; it sounds like you're agreeing with me. Or are you saying that not-Amazon stores have managed to streamline the experience to not require manual action from the user (presumably via send-to-Kindle email)?

In my experience, having watched friends enter that position, it's drugs which cause drug addiction. Mental health might play a factor, but if I gave the average HN user meth or crack every day for three weeks, their brain chemistry would be almost irreversibly changed and would spend years, if not the rest of their life, wanting more. Same goes for powerful opioids.

One can argue that certain people are more predisposed to enjoy being high, I'm one of those people. When you see incredibly rich and successful people like Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Chris Farley, and Philip Seymour Hoffman ultimately losing it all to that desire, I feel like it's hard to blame something like lack of opportunity or government welfare dependence.

The "bad" drugs, crack/meth/opioids/etc. make your brain feel a way sober-type people can't really imagine. I don't know what the answer is.

The Shinkansen has had one fatality in its entire existence. Domestic air travel is insanity, and I say this as a pilot and a flight instructor.
One of the fascinating effects of the EU's GDPR laws passing is that you can see european data get more expensive for data brokers to sell (I don't have sources for this, just something I read somewhere). Ostensibly, you now have a way to compete with different legislatures as to who is doing the best job of protecting their constituents' privacy-just see who's data is most expensive to aggregate/resell.
> A more robust approach would be to give the whole reasoning to an LLM and ask to grade according to a given criterion

We actually use a variant of this approach in our reasoning prompts. We use structured output to force the LLM to think for 15 steps, and in each step we force it to generate a self-assessed score and then make a decision as to whether it wants to CONTINUE, ADJUST, or BACKTRACK.

- Evaluate quality with reward scores (0.0-1.0)
- Guide next steps based on rewards:
• 0.8+ → CONTINUE current approach
• 0.5-0.7 → ADJUST with minor changes
• Below 0.5 → BACKTRACK and try different approach

I go into a bit more depth about it here, with an explicit example of its thinking at the end: https://bits.logic.inc/p/the-eagles-will-win-super-bowl-lix
Glad to hear that you like it! To answer you're question, LaunchPro is an all-in-one tool SaaS management tool for developers, and has features similar to Baremetrics such as finance dashboards however it goes beyond basic integrations with Stripe, such as expense tracking and metrics such as LTV and CAU. It also helps devs market and launch their SaaS, and has some developer tools as well. Please let me know if you have any further questions or feedback :)
IPv6 certainly hasn’t “won” in the sense that it’s nowhere near where it should have been by now, but I would definitely not say we need to make something else that also isn’t ipv4 and thus also isn’t forward compatible.

IPv6 is still the only game in town as a successor technology to IPv4, and it makes no sense to invent some other new thing.

The real question at hand, is do we keep trying to make IPv6 happen, or do we give up and just deal with IPv4 until the end of time. (It’s not an obvious answer. L7 load balancing and IP anycast makes it so you can basically run an entire tech company on a single IPv4 address. CGNAT is becoming more and more commonplace. The pressure on IPv4 availability is alleviating all the time. Maybe 4 billion addresses will ultimately be enough for humanity, who knows.)

But I mean it when I say that if we continue as is and just sorta gradually, grudgingly add IPv6 on a best-effort basis, it’ll likely be 100 years or so before we can actually turn off IPv4.

People keep forgetting that the models didn't figure out how to have conversations on their own - that part was trained after slurping the whole Internet, and it's people[0] - specifically, people employed for that purpose - who supplied example conversations.

The way the model talks is exactly what you'd expect for a human writing example conversations to create, when given no specific instructions wrt. style. Correct, polite, professional, nice.

(However, the models pick all kinds of styles from the "slurp the whole Internet" stage, which is why prompting them directly is so effective at changing their communication style to whatever you want.)

Hopefully Filippo revisits this now that it's broadly supported.
While it's possible that CRQC (cryptographically relevant quantum computers) are vaporware that will never be made practical, now that were have some PQC algorithms might as well hybridize them.

The only downside of the PQC algos is that they don't nicely fit inside packets. So just design newer protocols that don't rely on discrete packets, most of them do that already.
As a half-Libertarian, the problem with a lot of libertarian logic is that it's too black and white.

Less government/regulation is good if and only if the underlying market is highly competitive. High competition protects consumers. Examples: restaurants, barbers, tailors, spas, almost anywhere small businesses exist. All ancient, well-functioning industries that are comparatively minimally regulated.

The problem with deregulating banks is that the banking industry is low-competition. A few corporations dominate the landscape. So deregulation just strengthens the predators.

All deregulation should be accompanied by an equal effort to foster a massive amount of competition within the industry. Otherwise, things can go south rather quickly.

> we're still not even at 50% IPv6 usage

Partially due to companies like Metronet whose focus is on growing rather than doing what it should be doing.
Further than you might think, but yeah then you use heuristics and various ways to prune the tree. But conceptually you're searching through the space, rather than optimising a single piece of code - I found it a useful way to flip my perception anyway.
It depends. Some RCG towers have a single channel (sometimes small 10 MHz bandwidth or large 20 MHz bandwidth) which all carriers share which will not perform as well as some native towers where up five channels are operated using CA (Carrier Aggregation) providing up to 100 MHz of total bandwidth. You'll see most of these in smaller towns. However I've seen RCG towers operate with multiple channels across which they load balance all customers (regardless of their native carrier) which are indeed pretty good (but AFAIK, RCG doesn't do CA but I could be wrong on that front). Those higher capacity towns are often in areas like beach towns where they expect lots of traffic during weekends and holidays.

They are also dangerous, because the same shared reputation that allows a "good person" to hunt down a misbehaving "bad person" also allows the reverse, if the "bad people" are effectively outnumbered.

The comment said specifically "Major" accidents within specific time frame. I don't see anything in your link contradicting them. The claim was not that there were not any accidents.
Note: This is a good idea if your goal is to not be bothered while developing your software project where you are the DFL. It's not necessarily a good idea if your goal is to run a discussion forum, because the risk of misclassifying people on first glance, and banning people who other people actually want to talk to, is pretty high, and people won't want to walk on eggshells. That isn't a constraint for a DFL software project because you're the only person people are coming onto your platform to talk to.
Might be security/secrecy, but sounds like someone in upper ranks got a bad taste from one bad apple. At first I read the earlier "work someone else" to mean get a different job, but now that reads like "pick another building to work in for the day".

Ask HN: Has AI Programming Killed the Vitality, to You?
Lately, I use cursor in order to build stuff. But I find because of it, I don't actually pay attention much to what I'm building and/or have the same intimate deep level of familiarity I would otherwise have.

As the project grows, I feel like I care less and less about it because I don't know exactly how it works.

Unfortunately, because I know the tool exists I keep using it, kind of like an addict - I feel like I don't really think much anymore. I just Claude/Cursor stuff and decidedly not care.

Has anyone run into this?
I'm sorry, but there is no-one who wants to be a homeless drug user.

They're refusing treatment because they're addicted. They're refusing shelter because the shelters have policies (like not using drugs, or from the article; no pets) that they can't meet.

A lot of them have been abused by the institutions that were supposed to help them in the past, so understandably don't trust that they will be helped by similar institutions now.

Any of us, put in the same situation, would find it impossibly hard to deal with. I was lucky; I had friends who could help and I got lucky with some work that allowed me to get out of that situation. If I'd not had that luck, I could easily have gone down the same road.
Interesting challenge: put all of this crazy information into a LLM prompt and ask it to explain everything as if to a real five year old. Maybe the newer "Deep research" models could do it. (See also https://xkcd.com/547/ of course.)

It may not have been the point of your comment but it was the result regardless. It’s a really poor comparison that, intentionally or not, minimizes the LGBT experience.

For anyone unfamiliar with Andy Ngo he has an extreme far right bias and associates with the proud boys. Worth taking anything he says we a heap of salt.
Or perhaps, and this is going to sound purely insane, they person requires a higher level of care, and we need comprehensive healthcare and social safety nets that are equipped to deal with most cases whether that be a person with a cold, a single mom, or someone with mental illness. It literally costs more to keep these people in the revolving door of prisons and institutions than it does to just give everyone proper care. On top of that now you don't have that person being violent in the streets or doing petty theft for drug money.

Sort of, yes. I think one of our next unlocks will be some kind of system which predicts at multiple levels in latent space. Something like predicting the paragraph, then the sentences in the paragraph, then the words in the sentences, where the higher level "decisions" are a constraint that guides the lower level generation.

In meta's byte-level model they made the tokens variable length based on how predictable the bytes were to a smaller model, allocating compute resources based on entropy.

Yup. Same for movies, games, music, etc. It's pretty wild how many hard-won rights we abdicated in the move to digital pseudo-property. Not wild in the sense that it's surprising consumers would place a priority on convenience when it came to making purchasing decisions. Wild that legally there's such a huge difference between physical and digital goods. Like, all the consumer rights and protections built up over centuries were deemed invalid on a technicality. "Move fast and break things" indeed.

I said it was 80% heritable

From your own low-effort wikipedia 1st google result link:

" recent studies showing heritability for IQ as high as 80%.[8] IQ goes from being weakly correlated with genetics for children, to being strongly correlated with genetics for late teens and adults."

Bouchard, Thomas J. (7 August 2013). "The Wilson Effect: The Increase in Heritability of IQ With Age"

As for Bourdieu:

"Bourdieu was in practice both influenced by and sympathetic to the Marxist identification of economic command as a principal component of power and agency within capitalist society."

"According to Bourdieu, tastes in food, culture and presentation are indicators of class because trends in their consumption seemingly correlate with an individual's place in society."

If both of these were true you would never have class mobility. I do well for myself but still like hamhocks and beans.
