The whole "6am sunrise and 6pm sunset every day of the year" thing at the equator is kind of mind blowing.

Another maybe counterintuitive fact is that (to a reasonable approximation) everywhere on earth gets the same number of hours of daylight over the course of a year.

I don't feel that it was a misguided attempt to "get copyright". Wasn't the attempt specifically to get copyright attributed to the AI (rather than to Thaler)? So it was some grand scheme about AI personhood or business plan about selling software that would own its output. Who knows. Whatever. Not relevant to copyright for AI as a tool.
It's worth noting that 道 is a noun referring to a path, and a verb referring to speaking, and while both of those words are used in the first two clauses, they aren't the same word. The author is engaging in a pun or play on words.

Apparently the Christians adopted 道 to translate their concept of the Holy Word, which is a fun use of both senses.
Come back to this comment when its 2028 and US doesn't have a federal election because Trump declares fraud and gives himself emergency powers.
Ideally it will look from the outside like people are abandoning the internet when really what they're abandoning is the web (that's the sick part anyhow) and moving the rest of their digital lives into a vpn-mediated sub-internet made of the participation of people that each user knows via face-to-face interactions.

I honestly don't understand the path of creating a fully proprietary SaaS these days if you cannot offer a fundamentally unique capability. Speed and scalability are conveniences more than a real business moat, I suspect.
First Fauna graduates from Hololive, and now she graduates from being a company. Rip.
She was at the land border crossing between Tijuana and San Diego. Still not an excuse for her uncontested deportation to take two weeks though.
It's really easy to make ghee. Just get butter and make it. It will be more expensive and take time, but at least you'll know what's in it.
So HR pays to check this for every candidate? No wonder it's hard to get hired.
That is a pipe dream.
I led the engineering team at Fauna and this is false - we had a performance culture and performance managed/exited people when they did not meet expectations. I've managed some outstanding teams/organizations at Microsoft, Amazon, and Riot Games and the team behind Fauna was world-class; on par with the best teams that I have seen or been a part of. There are plenty of reasons that the company didn't succeed, some in our control and some out of our control, but the caliber of people at the company and the company culture are not on that list.

The term you’re looking for is “impoundment.”

They impounded funding. That’s exactly what they’re doing and it’s exactly what’s illegal.

Glad you don’t dispute Congress’s Constitutional role though!
All of the boys in the swim club changed together. All the boys in middle school and high school sports changed together. As an adult, working out at gyms and rec centers, all the men change and shower and talk and joke butt naked. Half the YMCAs I've been to over the years have a group of old guys that will tease you for being shy. The high school swim team I was on was... wild, I guess I'll say. Not buying what you're selling, sorry.
It turns out, no matter how hard you squint, no matter how many drugs you take, or how many times you smash yourself in the head with a hammer, the fact remains: Elon is a human person.

As such, he has many skills and many faults. This is something true of all humans.

It seems that two of Elon's skills are: hire rocket scientists and not insert him self too much in the process of rocket science to cause catastrophe.

Elon also has faults, and those are fair game to shit on.

An egotistical blowhard that lies about being good at video games like a third grader desperate for friends on the the playground can also be good at hiring rocket scientists. They are orthogonal facts and can both exist at the same time.
Thanks for the feedback, really means alot.
> The brand name “Mathematica” isn’t going anywhere

But it’s not what it used to be. Now you don’t “run” Mathematica - you “access” it running another program. It’s basically marketing to weaken one brand and strengthen the other.

I wonder if the UK is a proxy or front here for the larger intelligence community (that the UK certainly is an integral part of).

Since it's outside of the EU now and is a significant market it might simply be demanding these measures (not just of Apple, it's illegal to acknowledge that one has received these demands so silence from others might indicate they are/have implemented them) and taking the heat for other nations. Compromised/backdoored encryption can be used by anyone with knowledge of it.
>False claims would be good criteria.

OK, what false claims did crypto make to justify its valuation? What false claims did tulips make?

What if a large part of the stock market is more people gambling or FOMO herd mentality rather than calculated choices? You don't have to justify stock valuations the same way you can't rationalize peoples' behavior and that's what stock values reflect. Just stay way from high risk meme stocks.

>Tesla’s stock price massively benefited

You mean the investors have benefited. Which is why they invested in Tesla stock to begin with.

I don't think that's universally true. We have different humans with different levels of ability to catch errors. I see that with my teams. Some people can debug. Some can't. Some people can write tests. Some can't. Some people can catch stuff in reviews. Some can't.

I asked Sonnet 3.7 in Cursor to fix a failing test. While it made the necessary fix, it also updated a hard-coded expected constant to instead be computed using the same algorithm as the original file, instead of preserving the constant as the test was originally written.

Guess what?

Guess the number of times I had to correct this from humans doing it in their tests over my career!

And guess where the models learned the bad behavior from.
As far as I can tell, no pairing (or indeed any kind of logical Bluetooth connection) is required in the protocol used. The (device containing the) authenticator broadcasts a Bluetooth LE advertisement, and the "client platform" (i.e. usually the browser) has to be able to receive its contents to prove physical proximity.

Such a (by definition unidirectional) Bluetooth LE advertisement can easily be received and relayed over arbitrary distances.
I could swear I used it to do just that a handful of times in the past. But my brain's been a bit scrambled recently so I'm probably misremembering now. I know for sure I made use of the replace option and was happy it was there and that using it felt better than using sed.

I guess it does make sense now that I think about it that ripgrep wouldn't do in-place edits. If ripgrep never performs writes, there's never a chance of a mistake in usage or bug in the software clobbering files in bulk.
true, but sometimes, allowing yourself to feel certain very difficult emotions, such as grief/loss, can completely cripple you to the point you’re unable to take care of things for your own survival, such as keeping a job, relationships, self care, etc. In these cases sometimes there is no other choice.
Can you share the firm you worked with?
The "health and wellness" conspiracy nut influencer fad crowd believes they "know better" than science, which is nothing new. If they say it's "good", probably best to avoid or do the opposite.
I really think any help the community could offer - and also receive - would be welcome news for those still on Fauna service right now. Especially open source. People could move quickly – with multiple options – to help themselves, which after all is the only thing Fauna the co is able to offer anyway. Like the other commenter said, if you do release it open source please post on Hacker News and maybe Reddit and we'll all try to help boost it.

> Congress doesnt seem to be exposing the waste that DOGE is. A rose by any other name is just as sweet

So you aren't actually opposed to waste or corruption? Since corruption in the purpose of getting rid of things you personally find wasteful is fine with you? You just want the big bad scary government to employ less people? But the ones the executive does employ should be able to do whatever they want, laws be damned?

Where do you REALLY think that ends?
The majority of online content can decrease in quality while LLMs can increase in quality.

If the decrease in quality is noticeable to you, then it can be accounted for by future model makers. We already know that quantity isn't everything.

The average coming down only creates a stronger contrast for the high-quality work. As a writer, I'm excited about having LLMs available to help me. They're already indispensable.
> Now, I'll give you, SAG, WGA, and DGA don't control all film and television production and there are plenty of non-union jobs available.

The thing about the "hollywood" unions is that they are very supportive of the others. So when the recent writer's strike was taking place, the actors also supported them as well as the directors by not working without their writers.

If the auto union workers strike, the steel workers aren't stopping work in solidarity. If the stevedores go on strike, the truck drivers don't go on strike in solidarity.
I’m uninitiated to this concept and not white

Musk offered to bring them back way before the election so HE would have appeared as the saver (and boeing would have looked terrible). Musk is probably exaggerating, but you can't completely ignore the political forces behind all this.

>Decentralization just means “not keeping everything in one server / something controlled by a single person”

Except that servers cost money, and internet is not free.

Im all for setting up mesh networks with appropriate protocols that are truly decentralized, but people have to be willing to accept lots of pain points and slowness along the way, which quickly makes people not care.

It's extremely difficult to eat low-carb without eating animal protein.

Many of us don't eat low-carb because of some internet fad - we do it because we can see the data from our CGM.
I agree. I've been been struck by how remarkably understandable the errors are. It's quite often something that I'd have done myself if I wasn't paying attention to the right thing.
FWIW I didn't mean to make any accusations about von Braun's character. I was taking "ex-Nazi engineer" to mean someone to had been an engineer in the Nazi regime. In fairness though, he was an NSDAP member.

ELon and Darsana Capital Partners are the only two participants, as reported originally by Bloomberg. Darsana Capital Partners is not as far as I can tell an actual VC with a portfolio of similar deals.

I was in Seattle Sept-Dec of 2008 on an internship and I remember feeling some of this. Based on what people had said, I was geared up for four months of a soggy, misty mess, but it wasn't that at all— the autumn there was splendid, with tons of breezy, cool days where the sun still shone, with the trees around my place in Madrona showing brilliant colour for weeks on end.

Ask HN: What are all the possibilities with programming?
Hey all,

I began to code with Replit's 100 Days of Python. From there, I moved into neural networks and deep learning. I realized that I could take the same strategy--grabbing the most important research papers, asking Claude to explain them, and writing the code out--could be applied to computational neuroscience or quantum computing as well.

Now, I trust my gut feeling that these aren't, at least, not directly, the right things to work on for me.

The thing that I want to explore now is video games. I think it would be cool to see how the deep learning / neuro research / math&physics (1st year of undergrad) I've done could be applied to the industry.

However, I want to also know what other areas programming applies to.

My question is: what are all the possibilities with programming?

( by possibilities I mean fields. Like a great software engineer created the bitcoin protocol--this turned into a field of cryptocurrency. )

Thank you!
Completely in line to put some money where my mind is regarding opensource (just sponsored framasoft from another thread).

6 months of zero gravity and then Mars has half gravity. ISS astronauts who stay up there for a year+ have had it far worse.
San Diego is months of June Gloom and other Seattle-reminiscent weather, and some sunny days.

Beyond Open-Source: A Market-Based Approach to Technological Empowerment
I would argue that every prior president at least respected the Constitution, democratic norms, and the peaceful transfer of power. If the ruling party cares more about their goals than democracy, what hope do we have?
I think I have used "8 in the afternoon" even as close to the equator as Atlanta (~34 N). Our latest sunset is 8:52 pm, surprisingly late, because we are very far west in our time zone.
DOGE headed by Elon Musk was one of Trump's foremost campaign promises.

In terms of democracy, that is about as direct of an electoral mandate as possible.

> not a lot of Pro-democracy leanings to spare right now

How about having been duly elected in the ballot boxes? Being pro-democracy means accepting and implementing the will of the people.

(Trump disputed the election results in 2020 because he believed there was widespread election fraud. That may be evidence he was deluded, but I don't think it's necessarily evidence of being anti-democracy in his leanings.)
The temerity of the whole TDS bullshit is the most obvious proof of an astounding lack of self-awareness on the right. Here the people obsessed with Obama around baseless internet memes for 8 years, who were clutching their pearls over Clinton having an affair, who stuck stickers of Biden on gas pumps for years, who now have latched onto "domestic terrorism" as their new favorite phrase, think dislike of Trump is some unique thing affecting just the "other team."

All you have to do is listen to Trump speak to realize he's fairly unique in quickly-obviouly-un-American ways among recent US Presidents.

No - and you don't want them to be. You want an AI system to produce human-readable code that can then be input to a compiler or interpreter. If anything, you should think of AI as being a transpiler. The AI is transpiling a natural language description of a function into a programming language.

I have been wondering if we use formal modeling languages such as ArchiMate and UML, a set of Gherkin tests, and a deployment specification of some sort such as Workik AI, could an AI generate all the artifacts needed to compile, deploy, and run?

Then, if there's a bug, create a new Gherkin test that recreates the bug and regenerate the whole shebang. Realistically, that's where I see things headed over the next 5-10 years.
>They asked if I was applying for jobs and I said yes because I was unemployed. They then asked if the jobs were in the US and I said I would accept another TN job if I could. They call the process a "sworn statement".

Here's the abstract of this earlier paper:

> Given the recent explosion of interest in streaming data and online algorithms, clustering of time series subsequences, extracted via a sliding window, has received much attention. In this work we make a surprising claim. Clustering of time series subsequences is meaningless. More concretely, clusters extracted from these time series are forced to obey a certain constraint that is pathologically unlikely to be satisfied by any dataset, and because of this, the clusters extracted by any clustering algorithm are essentially random. While this constraint can be intuitively demonstrated with a simple illustration and is simple to prove, it has never appeared in the literature. We can justify calling our claim surprising, since it invalidates the contribution of dozens of previously published papers. We will justify our claim with a theorem, illustrative examples, and a comprehensive set of experiments on reimplementations of previous work. Although the primary contribution of our work is to draw attention to the fact that an apparent solution to an important problem is incorrect and should no longer be used, we also introduce a novel method which, based on the concept of time series motifs, is able to meaningfully cluster subsequences on some time series datasets.

Several commenters here seem to ask "okay, so then what's the right way to cluster windows of timeseries??" Perhaps the final sentence of this abstract suggests a solution in that direction?

Some astronauts are able to walk around in Earth gravity immediately after getting back, though with some difficulty. Valeri Polyakov walked out of his space capsule after his 2 year stint in the Russian space station. And then there's the fact that Mars has only half the gravity. I think gravity won't be a showstopper when arriving at Mars.
