Oh… that kind of midge. Yes, but they don’t try to bleed me at least. And they are somewhat rare. I see them mostly by a nearby creek, in summer.
I work with Americans and never experienced this from any of them - are you sure you're not... exaggerating?
What's "sub" about those other cultures?
Reddit co-founder says Meta end to third-party fact-checking is 'pragmatic'
That wouldn't help people who have cars that already don't do that very sensible thing which yes should be mandatory on all new cars with keyless entry worldwide.
Nothing to do with race. Japan is a western nation with high levels of education. Niger is... Not. One doesn't replace the other, no matter their races.

If you'd told me that you could replace Japanese people with the same number of say Thai people I would've made the same comment, and they're both "Asian". Nothing to do with race, just look at the country stats.
I really can't see any of these tools actually succeed in good translations instead of surface level slop...
i'm fixing it, it's a bug that when we collide with game object, player get stuck
Not so obvious anymore in the US.
I didn't say it's not understandable, just that it breaks down - i.e. doesn't apply anymore.

The point of an analogy is to point out how our intuition tells us it's the same boat, despite having no parts in common with the initial boat.

As other comment mentioned, if you keep the sails and rebuild a new boat around it, no person in their right mind would feel that it's the same boat. It's very clearly a new boat, and the analogy breaks down.
I know people with kids that have divorced for the most stupid reasons.

In many cases I feel the problem could have fundamentally been solved by being better at dividing household work such that someone can rest one or two days and then switch.

For many divorce seems to be a way to divide labour, which they could have done without one.
I think that staying together for the kids is essential for the very early age, but if someone goes it must be the dad. My mum left when I was 1 and a half and that is obviously horrifically painful

At a certain age though the parents should split if it isn't working. It's definitely far easier to deal with your dad or mum leaving if you're 10 years old than if you're 1 year old
Is it double negative ? English not a first language so maybe doesn't translate exactly. But kind of proves my point - if that was grammatically correct bullshit you're way more impressed than getting an awkwardly structured reply.

When you actually build stuff with AI into products (I've been a part of several integrations), failure modes and reliability become obviously lacking. Models failing to respond to a simple RAG question with relevant context a significant percentage of time, meanwhile they are solving PHD problems on some benchmark's. Then you find out they have to sample 10s of times to get the right answer in scenarios where evaluation is simple, or include tests in training data and then suddenly the lack of product integration makes sense.
It's happened in the last couple of months, a clear uptick in aggressive comments. I'd hazard a guess at people using HN as an outlet for feeling angry and helpless about the US political situation.
If the nitpicking shows that you often misinterpret the citations you give, then showing more citations - especially to newspaper articles rather than the actual reports - isn't going to help.

Like, I don't care about your views about how The Guardian does their reporting about the GMC report, when you should be linking to and citing the GMC report.

If that report says that the investigations into alleged misconduct showed the allegations were almost all unfounded, then how would that affect your views?

If the report shows evidence the equivalent complaints about "white British doctors were more often dealt with by ‘sitting down and sorting it out’" (quoting one of your citations) rather than formal proceedings, then how would that affect your views?

As far as I can tell, all of your links refer to the same report. Why have me read all of them rather than pointing me to the actual report?

Linking to the primary sources would also stop me from rolling my eyes about seeing all your Daily Mail citations, which infamously the Wikipedia editors characterize as having a "reputation for poor fact checking, sensationalism and flat-out fabrication."

As an example of sensationalism, the "13 TIMES" in your last headline only refers to doctors who qualified in Bangladesh. They could have used the average for all foreign doctors, which would no doubt be lower, but not as sensational.

> your question was like asking how an example from Virginia is relevant to Kentucky.

My questions was not of Ireland vs. UK but of the very small numbers involved, compared to the number of doctors, and of why specifically that one year. Small number statistics fluctuate a lot, and newspapers only report the unusual cases.

If in 2011 there were only 4 foreign-trained doctors out of 30 FTP inquiries, would that make the news? Would you find it if it did?

Look, if you only get your information from news sources - and all but one of your citations has been that way - then you'll inherit not just the bias that each news source has, but also the system bias of only reading things which qualify as "news".

Since you linked to The Daily Mail, the following quote attributed to its former owner seems appropriate: "When a dog bites a man, that is not news, because it happens so often. But if a man bites a dog, that is news." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_bites_dog

Are you only reading "Man Bites Dog" stories?
Wasn't this the same with Ring doorbells?
That is quite the assumption to make, how do you know why they think Musk is not to be trusted? There are many of us who have been saying this for years. And you have to admit, even for him his actions in the last year have been egregious. Also, just because you do not see people complaining about the other 1M CEOs doesn't mean they don't exist.
I'm not sure declining birth rate is a problem that needs solving. A lot of other problems go away if there are fewer humans around. Elements of our current society will be difficult to maintain with a lower population, but I'm not convinced that we need to keep society as it currently is.

That said, Alice Evans writes extensively on declining birth rates and she'd be my first port of call if I wanted to understand the reasons behind it: https://bsky.app/profile/draliceevans.bsky.social
It is undeniable that it seems that way for us as outside observers at least. It seems more like both are stubborn and would rather burn everything than take responsibility. It would have to be pretty bad on the inside for that external appearance of the divorce to be justified at all
Maybe it's the only way to get around the Musk flagging brigade. Make the title about Tamil Nadu so they don't read it. :-D
It takes massive cultural change.

It angers people to hear it, but societies with high wages and particularly those where women can work have awful birth rates. Education correlates to lower birth rates. The ones with high birth rates are the ones where people barely scrape by, the ones where workers have no rights, the ones where people focus on getting by today and not plan for a poolside retirement 40 years down the road, the ones where menstruating women are considered filthy and isolated for a week from the men, the ones where having loads of kids makes important figures in your religion happy and there's nothing that matters in life beyond that. You need to change your country to have one (or many) of these conditions to induce high birth rates.

The birth rates in Japan are really no different from any other first world country. The west simply has a massive amount of immigrants to supplant the losses of the barely reproducing locals. Those immigrants might have 2 or 3 kids, and maybe their kids will have 2 kids. Then it reverts back to the mean of 1.2 kids basically everywhere.

There's lots of talk on reddit and other communities that if every country were like (XYZ country they consider paradise) and gave loads of vacation, paid high wages, gave everyone free college and housing, etc that the problem would disappear overnight. But you look at the birth rates of the locals in those countries, and it's always 1.2-1.4.

Mass immigration is a band aid. It makes governments and corporations hope, pray, and potentially strong-arm other countries into being underdeveloped and oppressive in a way that causes high birth rates, and makes the people who live there desperate to find better lives elsewhere. People aren't mass immigrating to first world countries because they decided on a whim that they want to work there, like rich westerners do when they decide they want to retire in SE Asia and be pampered the rest of their life. They move to first world countries because their home country is not a place that makes them happy to live in.
I think it could be, but there is a lack of good prediction libraries that support accelerated versions of the GA types.
Unfortunately when selling games on Steam you pay taxes twice. First of all Steam pay VAT all around the world. It's not included in their 30% cut. And then you pay corporate tax from your net profit after Steam or publisher sent royalties your way.

Refunds on Steam can happen after a while so it's important to keep them in mind. If you sold 100 copies of your game 5-10% will be refunded.

> I linked the page where you can find the document where the publisher claims to take 50%.

I havent worked with Raw Fury and wouldn't be able to talk about it then anyway, but:

1 - If a publisher funded your game they will recuperate expenses by taking 70-100% of net profit. After that it can be 50%

2 - Some publishers also include localization, QA, LQA and even marketing budget into recoup amount.
Driver attention monitoring is very normal and required for any car with significant Assisted Driving technology, which is likely to be all new cars soon. I expect safety scoring schemes like Euro NCAP continue to give AD systems higher and higher weights in their scores over time.
> What is the root issue here and what can be done to mitigate it?

Nobody has a good answer for this.

It's not about wealth. Huge amounts of money have been spent on incentive programs in Poland, Hungary and South Korea without success. Between countries, wealthier nations tend to have lower fertility rates. Eastern European countries tend to have lower house prices than France but also have lower fertility rates.

It's not about religiosity. Qatar, Iran and the UAE all have negative fertility rates. As does Catholic Poland.

It's not about social or employment policies. The Nordics have very generous maternity leave and benefits but still have terrible fertility.

The only exception of a wealthy country having a long term positive fertility rate is Israel.
It's important to preserve the cultural integrity of Japan, and migration would ruin that.
Just because the world keeps turning doesn't mean it's unaffected. Small shifts today can have huge consequences down the line, and brushing everything off as a 'nothing-burger' is exactly how real damage gets ignored. I wonder-what would actually have to happen for you to stop calling it that? This situation is, at the very least, unusual.
It's total births, not birth rate. 125 years ago, the population was smaller, but the birth rate higher.
What is something knowledge workers will still do better than AI in 5 years?

Automatic loom is something different because — like other progresses in history — it just automated manual work. This and other industrial progresses gradually led most jobs to shift from manual to office-type work. Computers automated the boring/“mechanical” parts of thinking (simulations, solving equations, etc.) but now they are taking over the whole thinking part: intuition, systemization, requirements gathering, soft skills, etc. Nothing will be spared as far as I see.

Stakeholders at the top of the ladder will still be there (as they will own the means of production — AI + compute centers) but they will mostly just instruct AI to do what they want. AI will ask clarifying questions, do research, maybe spin up a few dozen of instances of themselves to simulate the emergent results of having a group of people/an organization design and think things through, rather than a lone-wolf kind of thing.
The cost of raising a child is basically the socially acceptable (but untrue) excuse that people get to use.

It is pretty easy to look at millionaires and billionaires and see that money isn't what is holding down birthrates.

Just look at the millionaire CEO of your own company. Do they have 6 kids? They probably don't even have 4 kids.

And there have been studies (though I don't have any at hand) that sudden exogenous wealth (e.g. winning the lottery) doesn't really lead to people having more kids like they claim they wanted to.

Or do cross-country comparisons. The US birthrate is (very roughly) the same as countries that have (even adjusted for purchasing power parity) dramatically lower incomes.

Or look at low engagement levels of grandparents nowadays despite being dramatically richer than in previous generations.

It isn't (mainly) about money. It is just that it is okay to complain about money but not as okay to complain "I'd honestly rather do my hobbies than have another kid".
Very cool! Tested it with the demo, very smooth!
The demo looks really really good! And by looking at commit history, looks like you are a solo developer behind this. Kudos to you!
Out of curiosity, do you have plans to make it a business or just keep it as a "hobby project"? Something like this is going basically to be used only by companies, no hobby users (unless someone wants to maintain a support desk for family & friend about something they are an expert...)
Depends on how you look at it, I guess. A binary tree has a couple of properties. Usually there is some ordering on the type. Something like: the element on the left is smaller than the element on the right. (e_L < e_R). Invert would be than turning the ordering into e_R > e_L. I guess this is the left and right branches exchange answer.

If you see a binary tree T e as some kind of function, it can test whether an element exists, a typical set operation. So f : e -> {0,1}, where (e,1) means the element is in the binary tree. (e,0) means it is not in the binary tree. All those (e,0) creates some sort of complement tree, which might also be seen as inverting it.

What would be really weird is seeing it as a directed acyclic graph and invert the direction of every edge.
Loki works fine for what it does; the problem is what it lacks.

It doesn't do full-text search indices. So if you just search for some word across all your logs (to find eg when a rare error happened), it is very slow (it runs the equivalent of grep, at 500 MB/s on my machine). If you have a couple TB, it takes half an hour!

As you say, even plain grep is usually faster for such plain linear search.

I want full-text indices so that such searches take milliseconds, or a couple seconds at most.
I often wonder about this.

Cost of having children is definitely very high. But I wonder if this is in part due to shifts in global culture.

Was the cost lower in the past? Perhaps state schools and nurseries were better and more available. But also less money went into things we grew accustomed to as consumers - fancier cars, new phones, holidays. Also non-consumerist things - perhaps people worry more about quality education for their potential kids. When children were more of a necessity, families found the money somehow.

Housing is expensive. But it is more so in booming megacities where the good jobs are. Were people more content in the past to plod along in their small town buying their affordable house?

This isn't a "drink less lattes" takedown, I have kids too and feel the pinch - and above all I might just be looking at it all wrong. But I'm having a hard time reconciling this observation with the fact that we are so much richer as a society than we were in say 1970. Presumably even the poorer people are, in absolute terms, wealthier than they were then.
I hate the cost excuse. People in Africa have kids with no money. You would think a country with historic low birth rates would have a good welfare system for moms.
Their work culture is changing but it’s not changing enough. People need to be able to go home at 5pm and need to be paid more.

Imagine leave home at 7am to ride a full train, getting to work at 8:15 (because you need to be ready to work by 8:30!) Then staying late till 7pm so you get home around 8:15pm to your small one-room studio. You eat, shower and clean. It’s time to sleep. You start doom scrolling in bed till 1am when you fall asleep.

Would you want to marry and have kids?
What matters for the market based on current valuation:

Jan 2025 - EPS beat by 5,22%

Oct 2024 - EPS beat by 8,58%

Jul 2024 - EPS beat by 5,66%

Apr 2024 - EPS beat by 9,74%

So their Earnings per share beat has been slowing for four quarters in a row. This first quarter of the year will probably show some slowdown on the investment on AI for large companies. It's also clear, the Singapore tunnel to China will be shutdown by the current administration.

I predict a decrease on the share price as of the market opening today....
Can they do it now or they may/are expected to pass the necessary legislation for that?
I have lived many years both in north and south Europe, and I can tell you that south is way, way, way healthier, with 5–15% consumption of ultra-processed products against 40-50% in the north.

I read that as genuine belief in knowledge and skills in areas that Nate doesn't respect.

Apparently he doesn't respect them enough to be able to tell if someone is faking them.

It's less clear cut than his gaming fakery, but Musk's comments on sci-fi (including Iain M Banks Culture novels) are beyond cringe, somehow taking exactly the opposite message intended by the author.
Quite intricate design. Great work thus far.
UK is trying to force Apple grant access to any and all persons worldwide not just their own citizens. Practically strong arming an American company to spy on the entire world for them. Why would any other sovereign country allow their own citizens’ privacy to be violated in their own country for UK?
We had electric busses in our city. They were awesome. The were far less noisy and didn't stink. But they were scrapped again. Reason: Diesel busses had a maintenance time of 2%, electric busses of 5%, meaning they spend 5% of their running time in maintenance. That was all, so we now have loud and stinky busses again.

That said, I don't think you can ever replace individual traffic. It is only possible in the most dense cities. Otherwise bus travel is too slow and unreliable for people working 40h+.
Google gifts a Free AI Coding Assistant to the developer community
A couple days after that United Health CEO was assasinated they has video of the suspect from a deluge of sources and none of them were from busses or cars.

Nearly every business has cameras. More and more residential homes have porch cameras pointed at the street. Even if your vehicle isn't monitoring you, it has a license plate hanging off the back so it can be easily identified. We're all being tracked by our phones, and everybody else's phone will be used against you should you be caught acting weird in pubic. There are records of me in more databases than what's even knowable, the plot is so lost. We're back to being naked all the time, except now without the privilege of knowing who is looking at you.

I felt like people rallying against surveillance and tracking were beating a dead horse 20 years ago and I feel even more that way today.
Or birth them from machines.
I think that's a great lesson about art: trying to polish things into "objectively good" doesn't work, while human connection and weirdness and jank stay in the memory.

Thanks so much! Curious, why didn't HN flag and let the creation of dup thread?
It is strange. As exposure to strange diet advice have gone up via internet exposure, Youtube, Instagram, blogs etc, the amount of people actually following strange diets seems to have gone down.
Living is cheap if you don't live.

Not to detract from the achievement, that's amazing. Mostly useless, but amazing nonetheless.
Oh yeah, I don't think I would suggest actually implementing this because it's just a lot of costs and fees to emulate what otherwise would be an index without the stock

The trouble with the internet is that it's hard to stop competitive mentality leaking in; the game may be single player, but there are lots of people playing it, and they can watch each other and show off.

(this basically killed puzzle / mystery box games, which survive only in a weird corner for not-very-online people playing on mobile)
> but if the choice is between Nazis and Commies, I'll sing the Internationale.

I don't understand why people give a pass to Communism when it caused an order of magnitude more suffering than Nazism.
That's one way to put it. Some other words are, spineless, amoral and possibly fearful. It is after all FB we are talking about.
I’m sure some of that is delaying: by having such high standards, they don’t have to go through the risk of actually hiring someone.
This was incredibly the norm in the 90's. A 'good dad' back then spent an hour a day with his kid after work.
By making tools used to commit crime illegal where they don't have a legitimate reason to be carried, you can charge people with that crime if they're found rather than having to wait for them to actually commit the crime the tools are for. Less harm done but they still get stopped, is the idea.

The other idea is that if the tools themselves are illegal it's a higher barrier to entry for the people who want to get into that kind of crime so maybe some of them will never start in the first place.

And it does work in some circumstances.

They perhaps could have gone with clarifying or strengthening existing legislation instead of course. There's already an offence of "going equipped to steal", but it is hard to prove because you might be able to get a court to believe that you were carrying a bunch of housebreaking tools around in the middle of the night for some legitimate reason.

So that's why we tend to pass laws to target tools.

And yes, hardened car thieves probably won't be deterred, but it will be easier to prosecute them if they're found in suspicious circumstances and found with these now-illegal devices. It's not like criminals usually think they're going to get caught - the deterrent effect simply doesn't work on some people.
Stock assets are nothing to do with AI?
Incredible concept, love it. I have many friends who literally ask for apps like this
I don't know why this is down voted. It's spot on. Societies are ruthlessly darwinian. If liberal, open minded people stop having children then whoever does have more children will prevail.

You might not care but in terms of the mechanics, this is just the natural consequence.
Lol, thanks for that, was worried I was being too negative!
