>The way she worked with students was that she would dedicate herself solely on a student/paper for the duration of an entire week. That week, she would avoid thinking or listening other works/students, even when she wanted to participate.

Now we hear of academics (with their names on the papers) denying that they had anything to do with the work published, and at the same time the total fraud of academics with their names on 20+ papers a year.

Something has to give - and I think we all know what....

to echo what the others say, at such low mileage you probably should mix in some threshold running (run at a fast pace you can maintain for ~30mins) and not just depend on zone 2; also, you should try to meet/exceed 45 minutes for zone 2.

That is a clever hack made necessary by the lack of crypto as part of the IPv6 protocol like it should have been. If they were more ambitious they would have built something like the Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP) (RFC 6830) directly into IPv6 but used public keys as the ID.

The point is that a date set to 1875 is actually a null in COBOL.

It doesn't mean the data is missing or inaccurate, any more than a null reference in Java means your program is going to segfault. It simply indicates that the data is not present in this scope.

If Musk was posting: "Guys I just discovered they have tons of null checks in their code here, that's obviously an indication of fraud!" — would that make any sense to you?

Hey everyone,
A little while ago, I posted here about BrewLog, a digital coffee journal designed to help track brews, log tasting notes, and refine brewing techniques. The response was incredible, so many of you signed up, shared ideas, and gave feedback that really helped shape the project.

I wanted to give a quick update for everyone who is intrested: The V1 Demo is now live! If you signed up for early access, you should have received an email with the link. If you didn’t sign up but want to try it, you can check it out here: https://brewlog.coffee/

This is just the inital demo, so not all the features are there. But it is more to show the design, and inital improvements I've made with the feedback recieved. So thank you everyone who replied to the survey!

I’m already working on the next update, which will include so many new features! But also will allow the website to become fully functional so everyone can start using it, and saving their brews!

Hope you enjoy, and please leave any feedback, tips, or any questions below!
In many situations it's a necessity. Ipv4 only devices can't connect to ipv6 only servers. So if you have ipv4 clients, your server has to support ipv4.
Is there any reason for such strictness with your heart rate? I never measured anything and always progress up to a nice speed, and then it's when it flattens. Mix up the trainings and leave the HR monitor at home. Do ones where you just sprint as often as you can and others where you go slow, if you see some stairs during your run just sprint over them, etc. Of course, only if you're a regular person without existing heart issues.

I don't. I would be much happier buying ebooks without DRM and I would buy substantially more of them if they were DRM-free.

The palette doesn't seem perceptually uniform, i.e. the contrast ratios of each tint vs. white/black aren't the same across all colors. Did your try analysing the palette in https://huetone.ardov.me/ ?
Crazy! I was playing around with the exact same idea of having AIs debating each other and me learning from that by listening to their debates.

I used OpenTTS and Ollama for doing that (using locally installed models).

I'm now working on the Humankind Survival Challenge for getting AIs to discuss how humankind could survive the various crisis facing us.

The idea is to discover whether AIs have our best interests at heart or whether they have biases that favour their survival. SciFi stuff but also a kind of Turing test to ensure that AIs remain in their place!
He does. That's what started this thread: he provided evidence and context to back up his claims of widespread government waste and fraud. What that got him was a bunch of smears from people spreading misinformation about COBOL.

Anyone else in the world would just stop sharing stuff publicly given this kind of public abuse. There's no requirement to do so. But Musk just shared evidence and context again, by showing the output of the equivalent of SELECT GROUP(age), COUNT(*) FROM SSNS WHERE DEAD = FALSE:

https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1891350795452654076

It shows approx 1.3 million SSNs in the 150-159 age bucket, along with many millions more that are actually over that age, and over 1000 SSNs allocated to people over 200 years old, including one that is for someone marked as 360-369 years old. There are over 20M people listed as 100+ years old. Total sum is around 395M people. Therefore there is no 1875 epoch and that claim was simply misinformation.

So here's what we know given his statements:

1. There are a lot of data entry errors in the SSN database.

2. These aren't test data, misinterpretations of an epoch, etc.

3. Such errors are extremely common and not being rectified.

4. Many SSNs aren't unique.

5. There are far more records in the database than people in America.

If we combine those statements with prior knowledge of other related topics, we can infer:

• The data quality issues are much more extensive than just age and number of records.

• Whatever processes are meant to ensure data quality don't work.

• This was not previously known to the public.

• Civil servants know all this but are often unable to do anything.

We also know that this situation is expected. It would be much more crazy if Musk announced his team couldn't find fraud in SS. Just look at the graph for payouts from the American disability benefits system - it tracks general economic performance. Other countries don't see such a thing in their payouts, where improving economic conditions magically make long term disabilities disappear, but they also tend to be more aggressive at cracking down on benefits fraud. The UK did a big purge some years ago where every single person claiming disability benefits was re-assessed.

Anytime someone comes in and does basic checks of government finance systems they always find lots of very basic stuff. At one point it was discovered, again in Britain, that a Labour council was regularly paying invoices multiple times and nobody had noticed for years. Paying money out to dead or non-existent people is a common problem in all such systems.
Even a completely deterministic causal system will tend towards greater disorder (if it wasn't already maximally disordered I guess). There is no need for randomness, just statistics.

> but in any time-reversible dynamic

Now that is making an assumption that the dynamics of an entire system could be thrown into reverse. Everything flipped to its opposite, and then proceeding onwards causally from that point.

It also presumes that the system started in a state of order, got more disordered, and then you reversed it and then order "magically" appears. Your eggs unscramble themselves. If you merely take a disordered system and throw it into reverse, you will still just see a disordered system becoming more disordered, because there was never any surprising ordered state built in to be uncovered later.
Also Australian, would never have thought to spell it like "gaol" these days but seconding this.
Most of the time, if I want to rely on reviews for a restaurant or hotel choice, I go straight to the 1 to 3 star reviews.

If those are complains like "waiter was not nice", "they took 30 minutes to bring my food", I'll assume there's nothing to worry about.

My feeling is that bad reviews are more likely to be more trustworthy, because they are less likely to be faked (unless its the competition).
Behaving like a USB key is not a simpler mental model than "buy books on Amazon and they're on your device".

I mean yes. When engineers making six figures can't afford a flat in the bay area thanks to nimbyism, then you can't expect the government to either.
That process seems extremely error prone on anything but most basic protocols... And given how many people here for example don't run their ISPs DNS... Just seems massively complex and very resource intensive process.
Problem with this is, if or when they are proven wrong, it will be very privately, no one will ever hear about it. It will be lost in the noise of “we found lots of fraud”. And no one will be able to get as straight an answer as the accusation. So no actual consequences for difamation. If feel like this is an issue with all politicians. They accuse very loudly, admit wrongdoing very quietly or never.

> This is moot anyway if the LLM is only used as part of a review process

Not really, because if plan to perform a `diff` in order to ensure that there are no False Positives in the corrections proposed by your "assistant", you will want one that finds as many True Positives as possible (otherwise, the exercise will be futile, inefficient, if a large number of OCR errors remain). So, it would be good to have some tool that could (in theory, at this stage) be able to find the subtle ones (not dictionary related, not local etc.).

> But the most valuable documents to digitize are, almost by definition, those that don't have widely-known information that an LLM is statistically likely to guess

It depends on the text. You may be e.g. interested in texts the value of which is in arguments, the development of thought (they will speak about known things in a novel way) - where OCR error has a much reduced scope (and yet you want them clean of local noise). And, if a report comes out from Gallup or similar, with original figures coming from recent research, we can hope that it will be distributed foremostly electronically. Potential helpers today could do more things that only a few years ago (e.g. hunspell).
You got it backwards, cops rarely ever get shot, its the cops doing the shooting of others. The vast majority of cop injuries are self-inflicted from trying to play out their action movie fantasies driving their cars recklessly and getting into accidents, with a few "They broke my hand with their face/skull" thrown in. And even then their injury rate is still significantly below regular blue collar workers.
>and that cannot be further from the truth sadly.

Okay, so please cite a few more examples of how his economic policies are so terrible in so many ways, particularly compared to the literal decades of economic mismanagement under most of the country's previous governments, and their largess for the sake of garnering supporters.

>If he made such a blunder in finance which supposedly is one of his specialties just imagine how incompetent he and most of the government right now is on other matters.

Any leader can make a blunder on something or another, even one managing an otherwise complex but possibly successful economic plan. How about an explanation of how incompetent his government is on other matters instead of asking people to "imagine"?

Given the kinds of policies previous Argentine governments regularly enacted, i'd be willing to forgive something like this, and I'd mistrust the ideology behind your reasoning if you can know about the political history of the country while putting special emphasis on this particular apparent scam.
Do you have any medical conditions?

Assuming you've had yourself checked up, and do not have any medical conditions, then maybe you are just aerobically deficient (https://uphillathlete.com/aerobic-training/aerobic-deficienc...). Start slower, doesn't matter if you are walking. In fact, if you are doing 3x45 mins of zone 2 each week, start doing 2x45mins of brisk walking to keep your heart rate at zone 2. After about 4-6 weeks, you should find that you can start jogging again and hopefully (!) your heart rate doesn't peak so fast.

It also requires a value proposition that doesn't depend on the current zeitgeist, among other things. Society changes, and stores of value need to exist outside that change, lest they be left behind with the norms and dogmas.

This is where I personally think bitcoin fails.
There are some good takes in both directions throughout this thread. Based on talks I had with friends and family living there:

Reasons for liking him: he's bringing inflation down, he has been keeping his promises towards retirees, and he's been reigning in some egregious examples of corruption that previous administrations ignored because it gave them political power.

Reasons for not liking him: he's strangling Universities, rent prices are out of control and not properly reflected in the inflation index, and after being first row during Trump's inauguration he decided to withdraw Argentina from the WHO.

A friend of mine who doesn't like him described his policies as "Ron Swanson from Parks & Rec". I think there's a lot to it.
The actual experience of reading is quite good, but, it is not really fully-featured for EPUBs.I was trying to reflow text into a different font and size yesterday and it took forever. I ended up giving up. It is, however, quite hackable, and `rmapi` on GitHub allows you fine control of its (linux) system.
What are the prices compared to Amazon's? Books are generally cheaper here in the subcontinent. I did a price comparison of 30 books and found out that Kindle editions cost significantly lesser than Kobo. And Kobo editions cost slightly higher than paperbacks.

The total amount for these 30 randomly selected books came to:
Paperback price: ₹13,017 (~$149)
Kobo price: ₹13,252 (~$152)
Kindle price: ₹9,171 (~$105)
I assume if social security is being paid and being spent, someone has the ability to manage a bank account, and that person then has a bank account, and the bank has collected enough kyc info to satisfy this correct? If not, at least there is a person on the other side that is mentally able to verify their identity.
France also has the same distinction. "maison d'arret" = jail, "centre de detention" = prison.

the word "prison" however (that also exist in French) is a generic term for both.
Maybe you need to look up what "sentinel value" means. It almost looks as if you're replying to a different post.

> We don't _want_ end-to-end connectivity.

YOU dont want that.

The wish to not have all devices connected to the Internet does not defeat the need of having a protocol that allows that. NAT is merely a workaround that introduced a lot of technical debt because we don't have enought IPv4 addresses. And having IPv6 does not mean that you must connect everything to the internet.

IPv6 Is good and absolutely necessary. NAT is really expensive and creates a lot of problems in large networks. Having the possibility to just hand out routsble addresses solves a lot of problems.
I never buy ebooks from amazon because they come with drm (did once, it was annoying as hell to get it removed with downloading random python scripts and having to start a windows vm, never again). It obviously can't be to stop people copying, because all the books are available for free anyway, maybe publishers stupidly ask for it, but the most likely reason is that amazon wants you to read from their devices so they can show you ads for what you haven't bought yet.
I started listening to them in the late 90s or early 2000s. These days I've been a subscriber for years. I even one time did their fun little puzzle they had in their view source that was a recruiting tool. (I did let them know I did it, but wasn't on the market lol)
That largely is e/acc in practice because they are less concerned with approaching the issue in a society involving way and more whims of the rich retconned into being the 'greater good'.
As to my understanding continued fractions can represent any number to as many decimal points as you need. So if you need π you can just calculate 2 decimal points and write 3.14
if you want to calculate π*10^9 you can calculate i.e. 11 digits and write 3141592653.58
I think this is what OP means and I am not sure why you do not agree.
When I was running marathons and in good shape, I tried to reach Kipchoge's marathon pace on 100m. I did not reach it by a tiny margin. I disliked and never trained for short distanced and that was a single attempt for fun after 5K jogging, which was more a warm-up than a load. My shape was definitely above "the average human" at that time. Their speed is incomprehensible.
Those aren't the only two possibilities.

I guess it depends on how much prior knowledge someone has of such problems. The correct explanation isn't "nobody noticed", it's "people noticed but could not/would not do anything about it". But how much you know about these problems will depend where you get your news from. If you never read right wing sources, you aren't exposed to stories about benefits/grants fraud as places like the Guardian or CNN just don't cover it, so all this will appear fantastical and absurd. If you're used to such stories then it all seems plausible and normal.

These types of things usually have some aspects in common. One is that front line workers, when asked in a safe environment, will give enormous estimates for how much of their payout is fraudulent. The people who are in denial about it are usually the people at the top, not the bottom. They don't ask, nobody tells, they don't want to know because they'll be held accountable for it and they fundamentally, ideologically, do not care about waste or inefficiency, viewing it as preferable to even one innocent person not getting their money.

I can't find it now but Musk has alleged similar things; he got private estimates from civil servants that 50% of the payouts from their department were probably fraud of some kind (it might not have been SS, I don't remember), and that the staff in charge of blocking payments at the Treasury were told to never do so. This kind of thing is what you'd expect. Often the front line civil servants are frustrated by this situation, as it's their taxes being wasted too. It's the people at the top who cover it up.
Show HN: MkDocs in NextJS/Tailwind/Shadcn
Hey everyone.

I wanted to share a sideproject I was working on for a while now: A drop-in replacement for mkdocs-material in nextjs.

I had that in the back of my head for about 2 years now and finally pulled the trigger earlier this year with a crude prototype. I somehow kept going at it and magicly it reached a state where I feel (almost? - but will it ever be?) comfortable to share it to others as well (by far not feature-complete though).

A bit about myself: I am not considering myself a nextjs pro, I just like the ecosystem somehow and grew into it by trial and error over the years. I have a large site built in mkdocs-material. I really like the style of mkdocs-material and how easy it is to start with something decently looking, however I always wanted to add more dynamic elements like member areas etc, which is a pain doing through the static website. With nextjs it isn't much of a problem.

I came in late to Nextjs and I can barely keep up with the releases, but somehow, with a bit of help from aider and some common sense, I got something working I feel is ok. Of course, if you are a nextjs pro and feel like I'm doing it all wrong, please let me know. Help, criticism, PRs, issues, comments welcome, but keep in mind, its a side project.

In general, I always felt code + content should be a separate thing. I love how easy it is to get started with mkdocs-material and I hope I can provide a similar experience. Certainly, the intention is to have something that gets up and running in minutes. Something hackable. Something fun. And something that looks good out of the box.

Currently its nextjs 14, I failed miserably porting it to nextjs 15 in an afternoon :) but ok, we'll get there.

I genuinely hope its not just xkcd 927 applied to docs, at least I haven't found a drop in replacement yet. Even if it goes nowhere, I learned a ton about remark, rehype and MDAST... Anyways, if you have any questions or comments, let me know.
>I don't get the crime part for the most part.

Neither do many of the people who say such a thing here. Instead they regurgitate classic HN talking points around crypto without really considering their logic.

Simple example: calling something like bitcoin a "ponzi scheme" when it's literally run by nobody in particular and has no specific fraudulent promotion being done by its administrators (since there are none) for the sake of personal gain through redirected funds.
Reminder that Musk once wrote an email to buzzfeed stating "“I suggest that you call people you know in Thailand, find out what’s actually going on and stop defending child rapists, you fucking asshole", about Vernon Unsworth, the man who saved 12 children from dying in the Tham Luang cave. He had no proof and went on to accuse him of not even being a diver.

I don’t flag except for spam and obvious flag-content, but can say that these headlines and threads look like fud and overreaction from particular groups, all in a very recognizable format. That’s why it is annoying and report-worthy. Adding tax consipracy on top of it doesn’t make it look better.
