They absolutely deny race exists, you just seem to want to equate genetic heritability with race.

Which genetic markers constitute a black person? Which constitute a white person? You clearly think such is the case, so I’m curious to understand how your definition of race functions.

The NIH article you seem to dislike has this as its opening paragraph:

> In 2019, the American Association of Physical Anthropologists issued a statement on biological aspects of race, concluding that “pure races, in the sense of genetically homogenous populations, do not exist in the human species today, nor is there any evidence that they have ever existed in the past.” The statement continues: “... The only living species in the human family, Homo sapiens, has become a highly diversified global array of populations. The geographic pattern of genetic variation within this array is complex, and presents no major discontinuity. Humanity cannot be classified into discrete geographic categories with absolute boundaries... Partly as a result of gene flow, the hereditary characteristics of human populations are in a state of perpetual flux. Distinctive local populations are continually coming into and passing out of existence.”

How you could deny this as not the scientific consensus, or not a full rejection of race as a biological concept fascinates me.

If you take a look at those and still have a question that isn't answered there, I'd be happy to take a crack at it.

Trust as you please, but we're moderating HN the same way we always have.

Edit: Actually we wouldn't expect or ask anyone to trust in the first place. I do think it's reasonable to ask regular users to familiarize themselves with the principles by which we moderate the site. Then if you see something that doesn't fit those principles, or if you want to make a case for different principles, we have something to discuss.

These principles go back a long time and have held up well in terms of preserving HN for its intended purpose over the years. If you (or anyone) want to familiarize yourself with them, see the link I marked above. It contains a partial list, and pointers to lots of past explanations.
Agreed. The predict edit feature needs to be actively enabled before it'll do anything. And once it's enabled, it won't send up your private keys or environment variables. If their filename matches a glob in this list, or a list you configure.
Right, but that's something any audit will poke right through, and if you take the paper trail (or follow the money) far enough, it just ends up with whatever tax haven corp that is used for the money either way, and the profits and losses still end up with a net zero difference.

Technically, it doesn't even matter where this split is made, if you go up the tree high enough, it merges and just cancels itself out.
That wasn't the safety margin. That was the altitude discrepancy that was left after the Helo disregarded or misinterpreted ATC directions and flew where they specifically were told to avoid.
For clarity, this does work with the mac os version of Zed. I use it frequently to work on my GPU nodes. The one tradeoff that is a bit of a smell for me is that the preview version of the feature requires you talk to a centralized broker on Zed's servers rather than fully p2p between your local IDE and your own server.

This is supposedly temporary though IIRC (may even be changed already in a dev branch, not sure).
It doesn’t nag you incessantly to upgrade to Windows 11
You want to be careful of async inserts as it's in-memory buffered as well and is not replicated afaik. So you can lose a bit of durability when using it (or you make sure your upstream pipeline can retry).

It is really nice in a pinch though.

Both sides are actively harming America in ways that will remain for more than a generation. The growing deficit will force us to devalue the dollar, which will remove the status of global reserve currency. This inevitably is going to raise the price of imports, which is why both sides are focusing on reshoring strategic manufacturing.

Currently we are getting a pass because all currencies are being devalued, and ours is devaluing slower than others. Growing deficits might cause us to devalue faster, or economic recovery might push foreign currencies into a stronger position.

EDIT: I’m not arguing that both sides are the same, or that one side isn’t better than the other. I’m arguing that neither side is taking our long term interests to heart.

That's great, I forgot to mention but I'd also look very closely at user retention. Because maybe there's a risk people try it and realize they can do enough with conventional AI tools, which would indicate you should add new value-add features, etc.

In general, I think these niches can work if the startup is consistent about adding new valuable features ahead of what broad AI can do, so the users feel like they're getting value going to their "all in one" place for this. For example, maybe your research page helps people who don't want to use a separate site to make surveys.

It's still not my cup of tea but perhaps I'll see it sometime down the line and change my mind :)

Always get the response with and without a web search. The web search may yield a newer solution.

Is "Non-IP Data Delivery" (basically SMS but for raw data packets, bound to a pre-defined application server) already a thing in practice?

In theory, you get all the power saving that the cellular network stack has to offer without having to maintain a connection. While on protocol layer NIDD is almost handled like an SMS (paging, connectionless), it is not routed through a telephony core (and hence sloooow). The base station / core will directly forward it to your predefined application server.

I loved using windows for a long time.

I could strip it down and it performed and stayed out of my way. It wasn't ever pretty, I didn't like a lot of it, but I could just get what I needed out of it.

Then it started to change, UI / UX had about 20 different flavors. I couldn't find settings anymore. Updates would change settings / undo my explicit settings. Eventually it felt like I was using an ADWARE OS.

I fled to macOS and haven't looked back. I'm even ok with less local gaming to avoid the windows hassle.

It's a bit of a sad thing for me. I do think fondly of my "old days windows" experiences in the sense that I was excited about updates and "Start Me Up" always reminds me of a special time in computing that I loved:

The thing about Medicare is you can only go to places that accept the Medicare plan, so people who opt-in will be de-facto taking a lower standard of care for a very long time until everyone opts-in.

They used one of those databases which are easy to connect directly to the internet, it's the same thing as about 90% of modern data breaches.

I don't know exactly how OpenAI does it, but I think it's probably something like this: the OpenAI server that generates the responses reads and executes the ‘code that LLM wants to execute’ that exists in the LLM output in some way, and then passes the execution results as internal conversation history.
As a concrete method, for example, the code to be executed could be enclosed in tags such as <run-code>, or it may be achieved using metadata at a lower layer.

However, although GPT-4o should have a code execution function, it is possible that the code is not actually being executed and that the LLM is simply generating output that looks like (but is not actually) correct.

oh certainly. this is one of those slightly unsatisfactory consistency stories where its not a closed answer, its just arbitrarily unlikely that a conflict will arise. we've already got a _really_ small window where one thread has the old pointer and the other thread frees it, it goes through the heap, and is assigned the same address as the old version. now exponentiate the likelihood of that happening with the size of the tag space.
You sound like you know it to be trivial to build this. If you can build it, (which I doubt) please contribute to OSM by getting involved with e.g. HOT OSM. https://www.hotosm.org/get-involved

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.

They then concluded that some problems there are hard to solve with AI, and e.g. need better and more training data. If it's hard to solve with AI, then building that CAPTCHA bypass bot is probably just as hard if not harder.
Shows how much of a bubble I live in, most of my friends who play Steam are doing so on Linux with either a Steam Deck or just installing something like ChimeraOS on a desktop and plugging that into the TV.

I've been so entrenched in the Unixey space for like 13 years that going back to Windows would be a pretty substantial productivity drain in the short term, but I'm not sure I'd want to anyway, simply because gaming on Linux has gotten so good, largely thanks to Valve.

Like, it cannot be overstated how utterly good Proton is now. It's to a point where I almost never check compatibility, because it's more than likely going to work just fine. GameScope in particular is such wonderful thing in its own right, and it has genuinely made Linux the "Gaming OS" of choice for me.

I know it's not perfect, my understanding is that there are some games that break with online play with Proton, but for the games I play I have been very happy with Linux.

Is it really? And even granting that "the goal of conservatism is to destroy [academia] utterly," for the sake of argument. Are you confusing the situation at the end with the situation at the start?

The fact of the matter is academia hasn't been able to destroy conservatism, so it seems all it accomplished was making an enemy and picking a fight. They're in a bad situation now, which calls into question the wisdom of their previous strategy and positions.

> One cannot have a foundation of science while accepting people who want to normalize Christian Biblical literalism, racial realism and anti-vaccine conspiracy theories. These two paradigms simply cannot coexist.

Hey, appreciate the detailed feedback! But honestly, this was just a silly little page I put together in a few hours for fun. Wasn't trying to solve any problems - just wanted to make some people laugh with dumb jokes and memes on Valentine's Day And you're right - I was trying so hard to be universally relatable but it might have become generic.

Unless you can identify that the regulatory capture happened as a result of the government's actions as opposed to the business actions, I don't really see how regulatory capture caused this situation. Rather, we made a choice to cripple the affordable care act while keeping all of the provisions that limit the rights of individuals to shop for health insurance, and then we're surprised when the prices spin out of control while the care gets worse.

I don't think regulatory capture is an argument for getting the government out of this business, I think it's an argument for getting the business out of this business.
That's every piece of technology. If this wasn't the case, we wouldn't have jobs. Resistance to change on the basis of "it will cause more problems" halts all technological progress. If you think you can do better, show. me. the. code.

Are you feeling down about your startup's growth metrics? Fret no more. Now there's a way to make yourself feel better even if your actually numbers aren't pretty at all. Head to https://StartupRevenueGenerator.com and plot your ideal growth.

This is obviously a joke project, meant to make it easy to fake your revenue numbers for fun. But beyond that, it's also a way to motivate yourself. You can plot the numbers you want, and see what it would look like; the only thing left to do is just sell-sell-sell.

I didn't even know about this feature. Thanks! It was a minor annoyance with Win 10
Same. Windows used to be pretty good from my perspective. Then, Microsoft started stuffing it to the gills with spy- and bloatware, so I moved on. Windows 10 was ok, but 11 is unacceptable.
It's hard to tell but it seems that no more than 20% of Steam users have pre 8th gen Intel CPU. I'm looking at CPUs with 4 or less cores and Intel was shipping them as late as 10th gen so it's probably considerably more so it's probably considerably less than that.

AFAIK most CPUs with > 4 cores are 8th gen or newer and should be supported (besides old Xeons, Skylake-X and such but I doubt there are that many of those ). Also not sure about AMD but their market share was quite low pre 2020.
> How are you counting "advantages", and how did you come up with the requisite number being 4 or 5?

The vagueness was intentional. There is of course no homogeneous way of combining advantages into a cardinal measure. It's just a rhetorical device.

The point is that it falls short of the amount needed. Another, more subtle point is that I didn't count disadvantages. The argument applies even if you think Rust doesn't have any.
