class action. Someone sues on behalf of all customers of the insurance company saying the insurance policy is fraudulent. The company is executing policies based on ai or rolling the dice. The insurance company owes all customers balance paid on policy and all costs associated with attempting to use fraudulent policy.
The cognitive radar stuff is old tech. I don’t think that concept is really considered a differentiated capability beyond being a sophisticated implementation.

Almost by definition, any classified computer science research would be non-obvious.
It’s just a boogeyman so we can swing this country into full blown fascism. Hitler did the same crap. It’s always somebody else’s fault, usually your friends and neighbors.

Do you have a link to the one where Rubio supposedly said: "And say thank you because without Starlink Ukraine would have lost this war long ago and Russians would be on the border with Poland right now,"
I'm not sure if you saw my parent comment which circumstantially refutes your assertion that Trump's actions are indistinguishable from that of a Russian agent. I don't think someone courting the Russian interest would encourage the armorment of it's neighboring continent.

> Trump's actions towards the EU has resulted in a massive increase in military spending by those nations. This is exactly what Trump has demanded of them. This is consequential to Russia and in no way good for them. To think Trump is "controlled by Russia" is such a tired, worn out farce.
I find they move along but there's just too few of them. There are 6 stalls at my local PO of which only 2 are staffed. Who would have thought that understaffing would cause problems?
Poland was already pissed off with US arm industry under Biden with slow deliveries of US weapons and started to order more and more from South Korea. I guess it will only accelerate.
They also didn’t like how Harris, a center right politician by all accounts, laughed “too much”.
People are definitely voting for policies. There was a study that found trump spent a higher percent of time talking about policies than Hillary. The PBS documentary on 2016 had an anecdote than in 2016 the trump rally crowd would chant things that became trump policies.
Yes, but it also takes some level of patience on the part of the employee.

Corporate bureaucracies often move slow, and they also want to see you can do the job first. I’m seeing most younger people don’t seem to have patience for this.

They also grossly overestimate their knowledge and ability. I’ve seen a significant number of people talk like they mastered a job after 1 year, then they stared asking me how they could get on my team doing what I do. I did the job they were doing for 10+ years. The reason they think it’s easy is because I defined the processes of how to do it all, wrote all the documents on how to do it, made a training program they went through, and worked with other teams to remove a lot of the toil. I then started building tools to make it easier for anyone off the street to do a lot of the work, and do it at scale. Thats why I have the job I have; it wasn’t given to me, I created it out of a desire to make the team better after realizing we could only go so far if I just worked faster. They didn’t see any of that.

For those that seemed interested, I’d give them the tools they needed to help, to see if they were the type to do this kind of stuff. I’d provide feedback, answer questions, or do anything else I could to help them. Out of the dozen or so who asked, only 1 person has done it to a limited degree. Thats why companies don’t just offer it up quickly and easily. A lot of people talk, but not many back it up.

I assume you mean they're racist. Yes I do know one openly racist person who happened to vite for Trump. I don't think he voted for Trump for that reason though, he's just been a republican voter for decades if I'm not mistaken.
You're disagreeing with rayiner. I have no position and nothing to say on this.

You might wish to reply to that specific comment here:

What you're describing isn't out of control, all businesses have income and expenses, good management is watching both sides and building the organization that connects the two in the middle.

Sudden drastic moves if the business is delivering profits seems like the out-of-control action to take. If the business salary structure is off, or if you need to a different skill mix there are ways to shift that in a profitable business without sudden layoffs damaging the very organization that delivers your current profits.
I agree with you that for such an application, Python is probably not the right fit.
Hey HN,

I’ve been using AI coding tools like Cursor, Copilot, and ChatGPT a lot, but I kept running into the same issue: rewriting the same prompts over and over. It felt like I was doing more prompt engineering than actual coding if I wanted to create good code.

So, I’m building SynergyCoder—a tool to bridge the gap between human intuition and AI automation. Instead of full automation (which often misses the mark), SynergyCoder will help you define how you want your code to look, and then generate detailed prompts for your favorite AI tools.

How it will work (MVP plan):

1. Build Blueprints: Visually define your coding features, settings, rules and logic (e.g., "if frontendpage, then that add prompt ...").

2.Generate Projects: Create projects in a few clicks based on your blueprint.

3. AI Writes Your Code: Copy the prompts into tools like Cursor or Copilot, and the AI writes code exactly how you would.

Why this could work:

-Code Once, Generate Forever: Define your rules once, and AI applies them to every project.

-Zero Effort, Maximum Consistency: Automate boilerplate, naming conventions, and connections.

-Your Brain, Turbocharged: Spend less time rewriting code/prompts and more time building.

I haven’t launched yet (aiming for an MVP next week!), but I’d love your feedback early. Would you use something like this? What features would make it indispensable for your workflow?

If you’re interested, you can check out the concept and join the waitlist here: www.synergycoder.com

Let me know what you think—your feedback will help shape the MVP!
Linguistic Generalizations Are Not Rules: Impacts on Evaluation of LMs
What is the goal of restricting examples to “personally”-known relatives?

Did people in 1943 personally knew people who got killed? Do I, as a gay person, personally knew the gay who was killed because he was crossing the main square of my city (France) which is under occupation by the muslims?

Do I care? Yes, absolutely. As a gay person, I have the electoral choice of either we become a muslim-majority country, either I vote for the French equivalent of trumpism.

Result: In my city, 35 out of the 35 core group of the extreme-right party are gay.
Can you elaborate on what you mean by segregate?
Let me be crystal clear that I am NOT defending Asimov here; he used his fame and was aware that many of the women will not be believed if they spoke out -- and shamelessly took advantage of that.

Combine that with my strictly personal opinion that he could have taken much better care of his looks at least; a good barber and a dentist alone would have gone a long way so he looked a bit less unpleasant, not to mention he could have jogged once a month and still could have been in a better shape...

...but after reading stories about many other authors, well, Asimov looks like a saint in comparison.

Again, not defending the guy. And Heinlein's gullibility also starkly contrasts with his intelligent aura and writing style. Goes to show we all have blind spots, I suppose. A bro club and all that in their case, probably.

[sighs deeply]
It's a good point.
This simply isn't true. Various countries bought F-35 even after recognizing it's far more of a geopolitical PITA than Rafale or Gripen because F-35 is world-beating. It is that much better than the competition that putting up with various restrictions is almost always worth it.

Where the competition is less slanted, yes you see countries selecting Leopard for their MBT over Abrams (the US won't sell the advanced Abrams armor packages). But when it's F-35 vs. literally anything else, the competition is for second place. You only really choose something else when F-35 isn't an option at all. Threats aren't needed when you just have to do a fly-off.

I'm sure you did the right thing. Tesla was great for electric cars, but it's time to move on now and look forward to the next good thing. BYD maybe?
Aaron was very young during the Mark Williams years. I worked there for six years. I don’t think he visited the office during its heyday. So yes long after MWC.
other than sell? it's still not clear if they even have director independence.
Obviously there are different species of dust mites, but the ones I'm familiar with are nearly invincible. They are able to cling onto smooth surfaces even with a vacuum cleaner right over them. I've noticed that they are 'directional' in their grip though: when the vacuum cleaner is behind their direction of travel, they'll hold fast, but if you move the vacuum in front of them they'll be sucked up. Thus, drawing the vacuum nozzle back and forth repeatedly seems to me to be essential for reliably getting rid of them.

As for UV, I have no idea. They seem to survive on surfaces that get exposed to sunlight though windows, but apparently glass blocks most UV radiation. You'll have to make a new post with your results if you try it :)
"I don't see MAGA buying electric cars"

The most vehement Trump supporters I know have been Musk fans since the time he supported Babylon Bee when they were kicked off Twitter.

They believe that the Climate Change stuff is all a big con to get government money, of course.

And those MAGA now have Tesla's and Starlink because.
Just because SoftBank own it now, do you really think if Europe went to it and said "can we buy half, if so we'll buy $X amount of licences otherwise we'll start (effectively) a serious competitor in risc-v.
Fascinating. What's with the US approach then? In general, it seems like lean forces tend to win. Afghanistan (twice) and Vietnam, for example. The Houthis as another example.

Hexagons could be a new kind of political entity of the future, where, for example, rewards for climate progress (measured by satellites) could be put into practice.
It's quite likely that most of that fall in sales is just an effect of the retooling for the Model Y refresh. However, I would not be entirely surprised if Tesla does struggle a bit given how politically charged owning a Tesla currently is. I however doubt that it's anything like "falling off a cliff".
Theonate gives scary NDE style dreams/out of body experiences. It is supposedly a nanoparticle formulation that crosses the blood brain barrier. Makes me wonder about safety.
The disinformation is you claiming that they had not reached an agreement that does not include explicit security guarantees.

That’s never been disputed by Ukraine and there are multiple US sources claiming that they had come to that agreement. The only formality was actually signing it and Zelensky said he wanted to do it at the Whitehouse.

Otherwise why was he in the USA? One doesn’t fly halfway around the world for a photo op if there’s no deal in place. And there’s no record of the USA ever offering explicit security guarantees. Only the opposite.
The economist is a good start. Read monthly or weekly periodicals.
The issue isn't why laws were breached, only that the executive branch intentionally broke them.

The why behind it matters most for how emotional of a response it will invoke, but maybe I'm preaching to the choir here.
> I don't see the strategic benefit.

Selling expensive weapons that can never be used against oneself sounds like a pretty significant strategic benefit to me. Are there risks? Sure, but the US could just shrug if exposed. A kill switch seems likely.
Dude sieg-heiled twice on stage. He needs to have no connection, including stock, and they need a rebrand, before I’d consider them. The T logo is a swastika now, and I would’ve drive around with one of those on my car.
Same story here - few sips of coffee and my heart starts pounding and I can't sleep at all. I have found a plant / drink called yerba mate to give me the beneficial effects without the anxiety though. No headache either. It's higher in caffeine than tea but lower than coffee. Everyone is different but for anyone else out there who gets acute anxiety from most caffeine but wants the focus boost I would recommend giving it a try.
more specifically you put the rules somewhere else now. it's not that they were gone...
> There are conservatives with money, and those without

The main issue with conservatives is that they just don't like EVs and are much more skeptical about climate change.
It's Leon Skum.
Similarly when goals are linked to earnings and the company reports adjusted earnings... So changing the earnings by disregarding some expenses or some sales out of the calculation. The one in charge of this adjustment can play to allow or dismiss bonus for the year.
It's worth debating because China describes itself as such: http://en.moj.gov.cn/2024-03/05/c_967573.htm

The Chinese would say the point of democracy is to translate the will of the people into action, it's to efficiently solve problems that people have, it's in their understanding neither liberal nor representative. In fact they'd likely turn your question around, if democracy is merely a set of procedures or rituals without concerns for the will of the majority, the demos which is in the name, why do you pretend to be one?
Musk's job is to make investors money. The moment he stops doing that, he's dead weight.
It usually takes five to ten years to move a factory from one country to another, and it costs an enormous amount of money that mostly will not drive new profit. Costs in the US will be higher also. There is more to consider in moving a factory to the US than market access.
The board is die hard Elon loyalists, for example - his brother.

Most people are capable of recognizing that countries are not monoliths, but a collection of separate entities, so that it is possible to treat a country's politics and its car brands differently.

It is really hard to do that for Elon Musk the politician and Elon Musk the Tesla CEO, since they're the same person.

Japan’s constitution and postwar treaties with the United States constrain their ability to rearm and use military force. Those need to be amended and renegotiated in order for Japan to be an effective ally in the Asia-Pacific region. Japan’s been asking for a change in the status quo for years. Trump is signaling not only a willingness to encourage Japanese rearmament, but a willingness to sell it to the American people in terms of their own interests.

And frankly I wouldn’t be surprised if the same weren’t true of Europe as well. Ever since at least the Obama administration, the US has been begging Europe to increase their defense spending. Aside from Poland, none of them have done so. That might be changing now. Europe didn’t rearm when Obama (whom you actually liked) asked nicely. Getting to sneer at Trump and the United States is a much more effective permission structure. And then the next time we elect a Democrat, Western Europe will give him a Nobel peace prize and pretend the whole thing never happened, just like the last time.
If you ignore the military ambitions of China and the fact they’re openly sharing technology with Russia, perhaps.

I don’t see anything but regret for Europe several decades from now if they decide to start providing China with the technical expertise they’re currently lacking in this space.

This is all about China trying to find a way to escape the pressure of sanctions from Europe and the US.
Red counties have 30% of the GDP in the US. Blue counties have 70%. Doesn't seem like a good strategy to pivot from one to the other! Also, MAGA people don't believe in the environment and don't want to pay extra to save it. That was the big leverage that Tesla had originally.

He could have kept out of politics and tried to capture both markets. Little fast cars for blue people, big ugly cars for red people. That's now totally impossible. It's one or the other.
There is a huge centralization of opinion among democrats. They all made tiktoks last week reading from the same exact script. If anything they would hugely benefit from a diversity of opinion.
Because if the US are aligning with Russia and shunning Europe, then it makes sense for Europe to partner with China and break them off from Russia/USA
That's fair, Lincoln did kick it off. I've always considered it more that Lincoln crested the precedent that was only really used layer by FDR, but maybe that's ignoring nuance of how powers were expanded between the two.
Aspartame aggravates atherosclerosis through insulin-triggered inflammation
Aspartame (1965) was approved by the US FDA in 1974/1981. This is commonly paired with acesulfame-K (1967) to provide sweetness in low-calorie drinks and sodas.

Saccharin (1879) was the first artificial sweetener, followed by cylcamate (1937). Low calorie sodas (Tab, etc) using these sweeteners were introduced in the 1950’s and 1960’s. In the 1980’s diet sodas sweetened with the combination of aspartame and acesulfame-K reached the market.

This is at about the time the obesity epidemic took off. Correlation != causation. I think it’s interesting that the introduction and increased consumption of diet drinks paced the increase in America’s waistlines. U.S. adult obesity rates went from 15% to 30.5% to 41.9% (1980/2000/2020). U.S. childhood obesity went from 5.5% to 13.9% to 19.7% in the same period.

Others have made a case that aspartame, acesulfame-K and sucralose (discovered in 1976, US approval 1998) play a role in the etiology (causation) of the obesity epidemic: people who want to lose a few pounds switched their beverage consumption to artificially sweetened low-calorie drinks. The insulin released by the sweet taste of aspartame lowers people’s blood sugar level, thereby amplifying their hunger. This causes the diet-soda drinker to consume more total calories than if they’d had a HFCS-sweetened beverage.

There are certainly more important contributing factors to “the obesity epidemic”, but I think this is an example of simplistic science: it's technically accurate that low calorie sweeteners have fewer calories than sugar, but they are not that helpful for weight loss. I'd wager it'd be better to consume an 8oz can of HFCS soda than 12oz of 'diet' soda.

Do any of you have any n=1 stories of success or failure using artificial sweeteners? How about herbal sweeteners? If you regularly consume diet sodas, do you combine your diet drink with calories, or is most of your aspartame consumption on an empty stomach?
All I have to say is: good. Hope it continues to nosedive.
Maybe trumpism simply empowered him., same result though - relying on US companies is a danger
In Python, there is no .await. But I can't remember seeing (await (await for).bar) ever--meaning it is very unlikely. It is usually written as:

bar = await foo()
await bar.coro(*args)

Some people hate that calling functions of different colors is syntactically distinct. On the contrary, I find it beneficial that suspension points stand out. Unlike code with preemptive threads that is much harder to reason about.
I'm quite interested in this and I see you've indicated REMOTE (US, Canada). I'm Canadian.

But when I go and look at the open roles they are all indicated as US only.

Can you clarify for us if you're open to Canadians applying?
That sounds good, so long as there is similar employment at the end of it. As a sabbatical it sounds great. As a layoff, the uncertainty sounds crushing. It could take months to find a new position, especially with the disadvantages I have, I would likely need to start looking immediately and wouldn't be able to enjoy it.

Not to in any way support what the Trump admin is doing to Ukraine, but there is a world of difference between no longer supporting a donation and reneging on a contract. The former might make people wary of accepting your aid during times of crisis, the latter hits the bottom line.

Can somebody explain how the workflow works here exactly? Is the LLM trained on SVG?
If so: could it hallucinate SVG properties or so?
Or is it a regular image generating AI that vectorizes raster images afterwards with traditional tooling?

I'm a noob in that field but I'm curious about potential risks. ;)
I don't think that would end up being a political problem. It'd just get spun as the evil communist Europeans trying to destroy America with their traitor liberal collaborators and used as justification for passing the FAT IS FREEDOM Act, which subsidizes butter production and eliminates capital gains tax and the library of Congress.
> Is there really? In the sense of a global organized boycott spearheaded by a particular organization? I've not yet seen anything like that. It seems like instead the brand has just been damaged by Musk in the eyes of the kind of person who might be likely to buy an EV in the first place.

Harris and Walz campaigned specifically on addressing the issues raised by this article. People didn't care if they even understood. We have someone that's implementing a kleptocracy instead.

This is not getting solved for at least a decade, probably 50+ years before another regime change occurs.
The 80's was a weird time, lots of computer graduates were coming into the workplace with pascal largely driven by Turbo Pascal, but the ease of the Turbo Pascal IDE just was not there on mini-computers VMS/UNIX, nor were there any widespread Pascal compilers for micro-controllers. Most soon fell in line with C.

It did however feel like touch and go though in 1985, and I had my feet in both camps, going into the Pascal Camp for personal development on the PC and C for all my UNIX and micro-controller development.
