You don't believe there has been widespread failures if not malpractice and outright fraud in many journals and published studies resulting in replication crises and performative/self-serving peer review over the last several years?

Also cars can read speed limit signs pretty accurately. GPS is pretty accurate. It should not be possible to go highway speeds in areas that are purely residential and miles away from the highway.

Also we could make a more accurate map enforcement system. Not trivial but straightforward.

Different from the government (in theory). In the US in particular, any data that is generated from a tax-dollar-paid system is by default public information that can be requested either by FOIA or a state-equivalent law. I think that is a qualitative difference that makes this genuinely worth considering. Imagine if Google et. al. were legally required to make their location data publicly available. I mean, assume that were the case from the inception of the idea to gather that data because that's how it is with governments in the US.

(Granted, there are further considerations around the potential for abuse, especially when considering victims of domestic violence/abuse. But the idea is far more palatable than what we currently have with large corporations.)
Great, how my trailers per year is that given existing plants. How many will it be if they start building more plants. How many hundreds of thousands of years will that need to be safely stored and guarded before it is safe? How many trailers will need to be stored by then?
That's .well-known based delegation, which was proposed in MSC1708 in Nov 2017: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/blob/old... and merged into the spec in Jan 2019 (prior to Matrix 1.0 in June 2019): https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec/commit/0347e873efc...

So yes, fully-baked and part of Matrix since 1.0!

Next Gen Auth via OIDC is instead a key part of the (upcoming) Matrix 2.0 spec release - see https://areweoidcyet.com and https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/386...
I’m confused why you think a voluntary sale is the only possible way it can be “sold”. What if they seize the US operations, which are headquartered in LA, and sell those seized assets?
No exceptions for FAANG. There is technical incompetence all over in there too.
If it's forgetting the board after showing you that each turn then I suppose that is a legitimate criticism.
>For example, the Dems have almost no ability to communicate with the public.

This +100. Even B Clinton as a 25+yr citizen communicates better with the public than 99% of active Dem politicians.
Yep. You might need to disable Adblock to have it appear.

I was still hoping for something more than a simple email waitlist signup however. But I didn’t find anything obvious hidden in the page that would allow immediate signup
The only issue with "large" mailboxes is that Thunderbird tends to become really slow. But this issue plagues other desktop clients as well.

I would love to find an actually performant email client. It shouldn't take like seconds to sort like 100 000 emails. It's a puny number. The time it takes one can read all the emails from disk a thousand times, it's sad.
The Lottery of Fascinations (2013)
I had to dismiss multiple useless popups (like subscription asks) to read this article. Surely those are useless steps that could be simplified if the writer cared about the citizens/user experience like they say the govt should.
A truism, but:

There are a lot of Trump supporters on HN. More data points that highlight how incompetent or corrupt this administration is might eventually sway them.

Midterm and special elections are real points where negative stimuli could occur. If polling gets bad enough, swing state Republican politicians might start sweating sooner.

So maybe for you this is just obvious confirmation of what you already know. But by reporting and following up on this story, maybe some people will learn and understand something they did not before.
Owning the domain your email address uses gives you a greater degree of ownership over that email address and makes you service provider agnostic.

Using an @gmail.com address for example, if you decide to move to another service provider at some point or especially if your Google account gets banned, you’re stuck manually migrating over however many things you have attached to your address (some of which may not be easy or possible without access to the original address).

In contrast, if your address is on a domain you own, the provider becomes moot. It doesn’t matter if you migrate or get banned, you still have your email address, and after a small blip between providers all is as it was.
Current EU tariffs on US goods...

Product Category Tariff Rate
----------------------------- --------------
Dairy Products (e.g., cheese, butter) Up to 50%
Processed Foods (e.g., chocolate, confectionery) 30-40%
Alcoholic Beverages (e.g., whiskey, bourbon) 25%
Steel and Aluminum Products 25%
Automobiles 10%
Industrial Goods 5-10%
Are there examples of the outputs the LLMs under test generated? I couldn't find any detailed ones in the paper or code.

The result here seems to be "Our Judge LLM gave another LLM a 21% grade for some code it generated", which is ... not qualitatively meaningful at all to me.
Trump Announces Sweeping Tariffs
Most likely, yes. Then it wouldn't have mattered that the `sl` package was installed.
Can't hear you! USA. USA. USA.

Politically it's going to be just like how most everyone fell into line fervently supporting the Iraq War when the corpo media told them to. Then after the unavoidable truth finally seeped in, equivocation and rationalization from "I didn't really support it" to "we were misled". With a lot more visible economic pain, of course.

Then that anger from having been "tricked" will be used as raw energy to drive the next con, and so forth. A broken clock is at least right twice a day, but these low information voters will sabotage themselves every single time.
What do you mean? I think when they say reciprocal it means tit for tat
Isn't that basically a recurrent neural network?
Well, it's clear this was leaked so they can throw Waltz to the wolves. "He was a rogue employee, and he is the only one who did this."

I am not conspiratorially minded, but I bet this was because Waltz had Jeffrey Goldberg's number. I bet Waltz leaked things to Goldberg in the past, and this is the Trump administration cutting ties with him in the most "sleep with the fishes" way possible.
The only one significant is Khosla of Sun. The rest are... rehashes of Western companies without a shred of innovation or doing anything novel.
The bombing/killing of innocent Yemenis can't be politicized because everyone agrees with it, nobody can score political points from it if everyone is in agreement.
What We Knew Without Knowing
Oh, cool I've used ionic framework
It all comes down to your definition of "act". Which maybe does split into at least two criteria: the "trigger" (is running "git push" every time I ask it to enough, or does it have to decide to do that on its own, for example by monitoring my workflow) and the "action" (is running "git push" enough, or does it have to be able to order movie tickets?).

On the action my view is fairly lax. Anything that modifies the world counts, which does include a git push run on my computer. Tasks aren't less real just because they have a convenient command line interface.

The trigger is a bit trickier. We expect the agent to have some form of decision-making-process (or at least something that looks and feels like one, to avoid the usual discussion about LLMs). If a human doesn't make decisions they are a tool, not an agent. Same rule for AI agents. But defining the cut-off point here is indeed hard, and we will never agree on one. I'm not at all opposed to deciding that IFTTT is an agent, and that slapping some AI on it makes it an AI agent.
> I think the problem in a nutshell is that it's not trivial(?) to build an executable on a modern Linux distro that links against an old glibc version number (and if it is trivial then it needs to be better communicated).

I wouldn't say it's trivial, but it's not rocket science either. Basically there are two main approaches. One is to just build inside a chroot or container with a sufficiently old distro inside. This is generally the path of least resistance because your build system doesn't really have to have any awareness of what's going on. You just build normally inside the chroot/container. The main downsides with this approach are that it's kind of wasteful (you have a whole distro's filesystem) and if you want to use a newer compiler than what the old distro in question shipped with you generally have to build it yourself inside said chroot/container.

The other main approach is to use a sysroot. gcc and clang both take an optional --sysroot parameter which is an alternative root for header and library lookups. This lets you use a compiler on the normal host, but old headers and libs. You can also bake this parameter in when compiling gcc (and also I assume clang, but less sure there) if you want a dedicated cross-toolchain.

Probably Ublock Origin, which is why I use FF mobile.
Sure, but this sort of thing (email, plus likely mostly shitty calendaring and contacts) is a very ok business. The fastmail people make a fine living at it (their product is as good as anything outside gmail. If you haven't, you should try it! I'm a happy decade-long customer). But it's not the sort of business that supports the massive employee count that Mozilla has.
The cost to move these industries to the U.S. exceeds the cost of these tariffs. The market will pass the cost of what are import taxes to the American consumer, resulting in inflation.

True, the shareholders will take a pay cut too, because something less than 100% of American consumers will just suck it up without changing their behavior. But in aggregate, we will all save less.

If inflation takes off again, maybe eventually there's some monestizing of debt. But in less than 4 years these tariffs will go away, which is why companies won't spent billions of dollars investing in state side manufacturing that'll take maybe 5 years to plan and build. Therefore I'm not sold on the montizing debt motivation yet.
The Rise of Agentic AI Could Be a Return to Form for the Internet
Yeah, no, those numbers in the left column are not correct.
> our findings suggest that compared with enforcement by police officers, appropriately located automated technologies, such as speeding cameras, could help reduce selective enforcement of traffic violations

This seems to presume that automated enforcement replaces, rather than enabling departments to even more precisely focus, the selective human enforcement of traffic laws. Given the role of selective traffic enforcement as a conscious tool in generating contacts to look for non-traffic issues, rather than a product of mere implicit bias, I find it extremely unlikely that this would happen with any real-world police department.
I say this all the time, but the point of the permissive licenses is you're making a donation to private industry.

There are reasons to do this, for example if you believe that private industry adopting some technology is good and you want to make that happen.

But people keep seeming surprised by the fact that these donations aren't reciprocated (or at least people don't seem to plan for them to never be reciprocated). It sounds to me like the AGPL license was more consistent with their goals.
Congrats mate, hope it’s a smooth transition into the limelight for you
Well, I meant that your comment was even worse than the previous one, in terms of being an r/europe moment. Apparently I was too vague. Sorry for that.
Just start. Use whatever style you are used to. Use controllers. Adapt your style as F# pulls you deeper inside the pit of success. You'll struggle the first couple of features, but you'll reach a sweet spot between your current style and functions relatively fast.
Or it just sounded like a fun joke for a good company name... I mean you are not wrong, but pretty much any successful young entrepreneur must have some degree of excessive appreciation for themselves, and this one was already achieving that status at 19.
Coming from a UK background something I've been long curious about is is there a constitutional reason for when the opposition presidential candidate is selected.

It seems like the current way of doing things leaves the opposition rudderless through most of a presidential term, followed by a bitter fight where their own side rip each other apart followed by only a few months to try and establish oneself as leader in waiting.

Could the democrats do their primaries now? It feels like that would
1. Distract from Trump so he doesn't get run of the news
2. Mean that all the "candidate X is a bad democrat" stories could be long forgotten by the next election.
3. Give a pedestal to the actual presidential candidate as the go to person for the media to get reactions from
4. If they turn out to be genuinely terrible there's a lot of time to find out and potentially replace them.
When people can see their social accounts copying and pasting the same content it does look a little…disconnected/inauthentic.
It creates a lot of incentives for corruption though.

It’s not at all uncommon in Latina America from my understanding for wealthier people to fly up to Miami, buy a ton of iPhones for family and friends, then bribe the customs agents to look the other way.

> There aren't really union filesystems per se, the plan 9 kernel provides unions through its namespace model.

Yes, this is what I'm referring to. It's really many filesystems unioned into one namespace that is controllable per-process.

> In my opinion part of the reason why the userspace tools can be as nice as they are, are due to the use of file system interfaces and the simplistic syscall API. Could you elaborate more on the issues you see with the use of these?

I didn't say I had any issues, I said I preferred them! Aside from a lack of familiarity and needing to install plan9ports on other systems, I haven't had issues.

> In regards to using it for a "cloud native" stack, the issue is that people want to run code that isn't designed for Plan 9. You could build whatever backplane type thing you want out of plan 9 but the end goal is still likely to be to run some web app or REST api server.

Right, language support is the biggest issue with running on Plan 9 from that perspective, at least for "server" workloads. Excluding graphical APIs, the basic stuff (file IO, networking, etc.) isn't all that hard to add to a language (it of course depends). The real trouble is things that have no equivalent in Plan 9, such as mmap and shm.

> This feels similar to what Joyent did with lxzones in SmartOS, where the backplane was solaris based but the apps they were running for clients were using Linux.

This is also what Oxide is doing. Their rack's OS is IllumOS but their customers are expected to only interface with the OS via their tooling and instead provision VMs.

> It's hard to make the plan 9 backplane better enough to warrant dealing with integrating the guest and host environment

If I were doing it, I would do it the other way! Run Plan 9 in a backplane/hypervisor and target it from the language level. The nice part is the systems programming model!

SEEKING WORK | Denver, CO | Remote | Manufacturing Engineer |

I am a mechanical engineer with a background in CNC manufacturing. I work with clients ranging from start-ups to established corporations, helping to consult and manufacture prototypes. I excel in helping other engineers who lack manufacturing experience design a product which will be manufacturable, along with discovering ways to lower costs and improve the product goal.
With my own in-house CNC manufacturing capabilities (milling, turning, plasma cutting) using state of the art industrial equipment, I am able to easily expedite prototypes for my clients.

I am well rounded with skills outside of mechanical engineering including experience in automation and control systems, robotics, software development, and more.

Current projects include developing engine dynamometer systems, including the required control systems and mechanical assemblies to accurately test racing engines: https://www.precisiondynotech.com/

I'm building such tools at https://sugaku.net, right now there's chatting with a paper and browsing similar papers. Generally arXiv and other repositories want you to link to them and not embed their papers, which makes it hard to build inline reading tools, but it's on my roadmap to support that for uploaded papers. Would love to hear if you have some feature requests there
Well, the unfortunate beauty of touching the incredibly hot stove of Tariffs is that the pain is immediate and obvious. So assuming that these tariffs go through as is, we'll immediately launch into one of the worst recessions we've seen with price increases unlike anything Americans are used to.

> Making it the main element in everything is just overdoing it. It's bad design.

I disagree. The 60s through the 80s had a wide color palette with extremely good design. Early 1900s too. Heck even the Greek statues were extremely colorful.
While I'm totally in favor of getting BYD and a larger variety of EVs on the road in the US, and I wish I could do a test drive of a BYD, I absolutely can't imagine that importing a $5000 2021 Wuling Hongguang Mini EV, paying the fees, having it shipped (per the article) to Oklahoma (!) and then having it capped at 35mph (!!) would be in any way superior than buying a 2018 Nissan Leaf, which almost certainly would have cost the same price all told and could legally do highway speeds across the country. It is genuinely not clear from the article what advantage the very small and limiting Wuling would have had.

Does anyone know? Why would you take a 2021 35mph-capped Wuling over a 2017-18 Leaf in the US? (IIRC, they were going in the $7k-$9k range at in the early aughts.)

I find the import restrictions on Chinese EVs bizarre, but I find the desire to import a 2021 Wuling Mini EV (where there does not seem to be a price or performance advantage) equally bizarre.
But double bagging each can for a trip seemed excessive.

I'm sure they'll start publishing everything again as soon as OpenAI do.
You know Mozilla is American right? There's no way for it to be "fully based in Europe" when Mozilla runs it.
It is more dire than that. The south was basically completely forgiven for starting the civil war and fighting for slavery. Then as soon as they were given a little bit of leeway they enacted Jim Crow laws, began erecting statues of the losers of the Civil War, and started the KKK to drive out black people they could no longer use as slaves.

Many of the people you see in films and photos furiously protesting the civil rights act, picketing with signs against MLK Jr, lynching people during that time, putting glass in the seats of children because the schools were forced to end segregation, etc are still alive. Trump was grown and had started college when the Civil Rights act passed.

Its time to start just forgiving them because they never seem to forget.
