Put it this way: robots will be every bit as susceptible to social engineering attacks as humans are (at BEST!), not due to any flaw in the robots but due to the flaw in ambiguousness of the specification of the laws.
An adversary can trick an agent into not classifying a certain being as "human", for example. Or not classifying a certain outcome as a "harm".

It doesn't help that humans have had such a poor track record on those exact same topics for so many centuries, now. "Well they don't count, they're foreigners/a different race/a different gender/a different religion/criminals/barbarians/homeless/deviant/poor/listen to Nickelback etc". "Well, that's not a harm, it's an inconvenience/an earned outcome/a privilege/loss of a privilege/what do they expect, they should toughen up/not as bad as X/it'll heal/not my fault/not my concern etc".
Reach out, peeps. Carefully.

I'm looking at it and I'm not seeing what you're seeing. What currently active story do you feel should be on the front page? Or stories since you're saying this is a common problem.
Yes, on desktop (macOS and Linux). It's not a speed demon but I trust it (on Linux I build from source).

On Android I use Fastmail's mobile client, but I'm thinking of trying the new mobile Thunderbird there too.
The people who founded Ponoc seemed to have creative differences with Miyazaki. They wanted to make a movie [1] that they felt Ghibli won't greenlight [2] - but there seems to have been no deep seated animosity or desire to rip-off. Incidentally I just borrowed this movie from the local library a few hour ago because the cover art reminded me of Ghibli but I noticed it wasn't a Ghibli production. Some searching online led me to the cited article.

The Future of American Foreign Aid
This is an extremely minor point, but:

> significant parts of our federal government have abandoned key precepts of outcome-driven problem-solving. (Just try navigating the IRS’ Free File tax return tool. I gave up and paid for H&R Block instead.)

It seems deeply weird to me to pick this example, of all things, where things are getting better because of outcome-driven problem-solving. (You might also want to consider that "I gave up on Free File" might score you anti-points with your audience.)
~19M people live on the US-Mexico border alone in the US [1].

What's the _point_ of the anecdote, though? You're taking up everybody's time to tell a story, do us a favor to have a relevant point.

"Have no fear" doesn't apply to the article, at all. You might as well write "what I learned was to not stick legos up my nostril". Also good advice. Also not applicable.

It's fine if it doesn't work for everyone, it's annoying if it isn't relevant to anyone.
True, true. What's interesting about this study is that the girl rats were unfazed while the boy rats had hangovers. Do their livers work differently? With humans it's not stark like that.

Yep. Especially when you know you have the qualifications. If it's not a match, despite meeting your written qualifications, then how about you at least update your requirements so I don't waste my time?

Also, the application process requires me to download their Fathom software anyways. The least they can do is respond with a rejection.
How is that different than Google Authenticator backups?
It’s vastly different.

Gig workers are literally disposable robots. You’re part of a computer program. There is no human relationship. At least a McDonald’s worker can talk to their manager.
We Built an AI Tool to Create High-Quality 3D Models from Regular Videos
Hey HN/Reddit,
We're a team of AI researchers passionate about simplifying 3D modeling. We've built an easy-to-use tool that generates detailed, high-quality 3D models directly from regular videos. We are now opening up this tool for preview.

Just upload your video, and we'll deliver a 3D model file that's ready to embed, view, or edit. Our approach is fast, cloud-based, and removes the hassle of complex photogrammetry setups.

Originally, we built this as an internal experiment with neural radiance fields and mesh extraction techniques. However, we noticed people across industries like e-commerce, gaming, digital twins, and virtual production struggling with cumbersome workflows involving multiple tools. So we decided to share our tool to help streamline these processes.

Right now, we're looking to collaborate closely with early users who have compelling use cases. If you're currently spending hours with painful pipelines—or juggling multiple software tools—we’d love to help simplify your workflow.

Try it out here: https://unrealizex.com

To discuss your use case or brainstorm together, book a quick chat here: https://calendly.com/unrealizex3d/30min

Quick Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AX_8Sg19PXE

We're eager for your thoughts, feedback, and challenging questions—especially about your ideal use cases or persistent issues in your existing 3D workflows. You can join the AI for 3D discord community at https://discord.gg/c29cY9mbwt.

Ask us anything!

I'm a bit skeptical if this will do the trick. These PoW challenges can be parallelized across different websites and may not be as off-putting as intended. Here some quick back-of-the-napkin math:

DeepMind's MassiveText dataset was sourced from ~2.35B documents. A difficulty of 4 leading zeros requires an expected 16^4 SHA-256 hashes per site. Benchmarks [1] show an H100 at ~12k MH/s, meaning it would take just ~3.5 hours to solve for all 2.35B pages.

Why is there a subset of HN users that think they need to make sure I can't see articles they don't want either?

Conventional wisdom is to not wear gloves when working with HF, as pedvide points out. It may not be to your advantage to ban people like pedvide's advisor from your lab, especially if at some point they're refereeing your papers—though, at least from my point of view, there should be no such personal-offense considerations involved, it would be unsurprising if someone were insufficiently detached for such a personal snub to prejudice them against you.

There’s a core cult (not pejorative) that's unswayable, but that’s not who handed him political power. It was the politically disaffected people who he managed to reach and Dems failed to.

It’s worth speaking to those folks.
You missed the point. Imagine we want to deport a British citizen to Britain for felony fraud committed in US, and it just so happens that the same person is wanted in Britain for a completely different crime, say burglary. We know that if we deport him, he will be jailed and prosecuted in Britain according to British laws. Should this prevent us from deporting him? Is him being considered a criminal in his own country somehow protecting him from deportation there? Are we only allowed to deport non-criminals, and must keep foreign criminals in US, lest they get thrown in jail in the countries we deport them to?
Twice the billable hours! /s
It depends.. For some goods possible to just immediately raise prices, for others, business will try to compensate from another source.

As example, Daimler stated, they will cut cheapest models from export to US, so some segment will got less concurrent market, and probably prices will raise.

Probably, this is because Daimler have much higher profits on expensive models, so they could just lower profits on them. Other variant, also possible, expensive niches are more tolerant to price raise.

For small countries, tariff raise nearly guarantee prices rise, but US is big country, things are not so simple.

$90 if you buy it, $80 if you ~rent~ ehm I mean "acquire" a temporary digital license.

my point being: due to the risks assumed (someone can click a button and rob the product from you), the rights lost (cannot exchange games with your cousin), and the general lack of consumer protections on digital rentals aka. licenses, I'm a firm believer that their price should be 20 to 50% of what a proper physical copy costs; starting from the fact that you cannot spend $80 on a game, enjoy it, then resell it for $60 or so as we all ought to be able to do in all cases no matter what.
Yes but metrics! How can the CEO look like they know what's happening without understanding anything if they don't have everyone producing numbers?
I want to avoid letting a meta-level conversation slip into object-level. But using the object-level as an example, I would expect a comment that acknowledges the types of things that are hard to build with Manifest V3, particularly more advanced adblocking, and acknowledges that there need to be solutions for those things, and makes the point that letting extensions be all-powerful does lead to problems and that also needs solving, would not get downvoted to oblivion. That's much more nuanced than, for instance, suggesting that Manifest V3 is an unalloyed good with zero problems, which I would expect to get downvoted.
Which other administration filed executive orders banning specific law firms from federal buildings and their customers from winning federal contracts because the law firm once employed a lawyer who once investigated or sued that administration?

I’ll wait.
Just ask a LLM what are the commands to perform what you need to do.

We are indeed living in new times.

According to [1], the White House claims Vietnam has a 90% tariff rate.

According to [2], 90.4% is the ratio of Vietnam's trade deficit with the US -- they have a deficit of $123.5B on $136.6B of exports.

The same math holds true for other countries, e.g. Japan's claimed 46% tariff rate is their deficit of $68.5B on $148.2B of exports. The EU's claimed 39% tariff rate is their deficit of $235.6B on $605.8B of exports.

Who knows, maaaaybe it just so happens that these countries magically have tariff rates that match the ratio of their trade deficits.

Or maybe, the reason Vietnam doesn't buy a lot of US stuff is because they're poor. The reason they sell the US a bunch of stuff is because their labour is cheap to Americans. (They do have tariffs, but they're nowhere near 90%: [3].)

America's government is not trustworthy. Assuming that what they say is truthful is a poor use of time.

> Trump supporters are unswayable.

While they certainly love the guy, this is demonstrably untrue.

Otherwise, we wouldn't have had a President Biden interregnum.

Some degree of incompetence is certainly a bridge too far, at least for some of his supporters.
Now we’re talking. That’s a useful framework because it acknowledges there are gradations of independence. It’s not an all or nothing thing.
The problem is that a lot of people will google mermaid chart, or come across an extension like this, and find a site that looks like the official website and docs but isn't; it's a paid product with no relation that's simply profiting off of the name. That's deceptive, regardless of whether it's "fair use" or not.

Honestly, I'm surprised anyone on HN would defend that sort of behavior.

Another good trick is to replace the crystal with a bit stream.

Russia in the White House is a lot more aggressive than McNuggets on sale in Red Square, and it means that containment is past dead.

I'd love for Zombie Henry Kissinger to rise from the dead, fix things, restore the galut to chutz l'aaretz, and fuck my brains out, but I just don't think it's going to happen.
Seems very likely that the hardware decompresses the data more or less on the fly. The acceleration structures are for the hardware, arithmetics hardware is cheap (compared to memory access), and they could use the compressed structures on older hardware with new drivers if hardware support wasn't necessary.

Absolutely everything is tracked as a work item with estimates. Anything you think should be done needs to be justified and tracked the same way.

My grandpa once said something that seemed ridiculous but makes a lot of sense: that every workplace should have a “heavy” who steals a new worker’s lunch on the first day, just to see if he asserts himself. Why? Not to haze or bully but to filter out the non-fighters so that when management wants to impose quotas or tracking, they remember that they’d be enforcing this on a whole team of fighters… and suddenly they realize that squeezing the workers isn’t worth it.

The reason 1950s workplaces were more humane is that any boss who tried to impose this shit on workers would have first been laughed at, and then if he tried to actually enforce it by firing people, it would’ve been a 6:00 in the parking lot kinda thing.

What is Wikipedia by that measure?

The Wikimedia Foundation host Wikipedia. The servers, power, connectivity, bandwidth and engineers who maintain it are all paid from donations on the site.
Gridmatic | Senior fullstack software engineer, Senior backend software engineer (ML infra) | Full-time | Hybrid (Cupertino, CA)

Gridmatic uses ML and weather data to forecast energy prices in the US, which can get really volatile as extreme weather becomes more common with climate change. We’ve been using those price forecasts to e.g. optimize very large batteries, which help make the grid more stable.

On the fullstack side, we're building tools to apply our forecasts to automated battery storage optimization and energy volatility risk mitigation. On the ML infra side, we're working on infra to be able to scale to larger and more complex models, and to apply better (but more computationally intensive) weather models in our forecasting.

Our stack: python, react/nextjs, kubernetes, GCP, postgres, bigquery

Our goal is to help accelerate the adoption of renewable energy on the grid. It's super interesting, the team is incredibly smart, and we're profitable.

If you're interested, DM me or email me at kevin@gridmatic.com, and please answer the following question: what's the most impressive thing you've built? (include a link to code if possible)
Love matrix. Improving the onboarding is a great step. I've seen less technical people have issues in that area until now.

And my point is that for Wikipedia to be the best Wikipedia, these initiatives are important, and therefore I don't see them as that much different.

I know Wikipedia has a reputation for cringe donation drives, but at a basic level I don't disagree with them raising money, with what they're raising it for, or with most of how they pitch the donation requests, as continuing to maintain and improve Wikipedia. Focusing on the split between the Wikimedia Foundation (the org you donate to) and Wikipedia (the product they produce) is a bit of a red herring in my opinion.
One could, but they'll have even greater issues finding and training staff, and without a reputation they're less competitive with the cheaper Chinese products.
Which Bell Labs? Are you still in the area? I’m minutes away from Murray Hill and a lot of what you’re saying resonates with me (~10 years into my career and starting to lean into what I previously thought was weird).
I commend you for having an opinion so bad I can't tell if you're satirizing marxists or not.

Let me ask you this, would you rather be managed by a hierarchy made up of people who don't understand what you do? Because I assure you it is far worse than being managed by "class traitors".
I said "own your domain", not "self-host your email server".
This is simply too complex. There are quite a bit dependencies on Glibc and other GNU-based behavior.

What you're actually asking from them is creating a new Android or Chrome OS i.e. recreating the entire userspace. "Just split up musl" will not work. How the system headers work needs to be redefined. This is basically a complete redefinition of entire API of all Linux programs and libraries. Which library will supply unistd.h or any of the sys/whatever.h? Any interdependencies? I think even POSIX itself can be hostile against this. So the fix will have to deviate a lot from that (that's probably why Windows cannot be made POSIX easily either).
I suppose it depends on what you want from 9front. If you want a terminal with decent power management you should just buy a mac.
If he vanished himself why did the university remove him from the web pages?
In the country where I live, the problem is that it became much of a religious question. People feel like one candidate represents values different than mine, and that by not aligning with them, I'm not an ally. I don't have friends with such different values, but managing family has become a big problem during these times. It's very hard, for example, hearing your mother-in-law defending a change in the constitution that would forbid women to have an abortion, even when raped and at any time of pregnancy, when you have a small daughter. That person is actively trying to make the world a horrible place for my family, according to my values and honestly any sane person.

EDIT: typo.
Correct! The tunnels are protected using ssh auth as well, so you can ensure that only the users you want to access it can.
They do have a weak relationship, in that earlier index tokens were encountered earlier during the formation of the vocabulary, so they are similar in typicality
Woops! Delete is supported, will update that as well
Worse yet, these are upward-censored metrics. Failing to make them hurts your career, but making or exceeding your targets doesn’t really help your career—it’s just seen as validating management’s approach.

As soon as they impose metrics, you need to bring in a union, and (to be frank) chase or bug out anyone who’s not on board with worker solidarity.
It’s not just a personal anecdote. It’s telling people what they should do.

A personal anecdote would be saying this is what worked for me. Not this is how you should do it.

It comes off as telling you what your problem is and how you should fix it.
I mean, sure, but I and probably 99% of other folks have a credit card set up to autorenew. This is a security problem, but not a very serious one.

10% tariffs on the Heard Island and McDonald Islands which are uninhabited, and can be reached only by sea, which from Australia takes two weeks by vessel.
And also 10% on Svalbard and Jan Mayen which is also uninhabited. That will teach them not to ripoff the USA!

Oh NO tariffs on Russia or Belarus. None.
That's... not always a given for SOTA sized models. When the ROI on more training stops, it is nice to have alternatives, whether that is RL-tuned reasoning models or alternative architectures that improve specific areas of weakness.

I think a lot of commenters here are projecting this article onto their work lives as tech office workers, but it's really more about the world of unskilled and semi-skilled service/gig workers, like handymen, furniture assemblers, delivery drivers, and so on.

All these things can be true and they reinforce each other: The jobs suck <-> The people willing to do them aren't very happy, skilled or competent <-> The pay is minuscule. And we can't seem to get out of this Nash Equilibrium.
Well yes, in practice color often is chaotic. Nobody is color-coordinating the cars in the road, or the houses on a street, or the signs and advertisements and billboards. It's a free-for-all that turns into garish noise.

And more neutral environments with accent colors makes sense because the main accent is always people and their clothing. Your patterned red dress won't clash with a neutral background. It will likely clash with a patterned orange wall. A more neutral environment allowed for lots of colored accents to exist without competing or clashing with them.
