There's an ongoing debate in Australia to ban gambling advertisements. One of the arguments that is supportive of a ban says that children shouldn't be exposed to gambling advertisements during sports broadcasts, as they should be family friendly.
Every so often someone hypes local models as "Don't pay for Claude check out this local modal" and the local modal isn't at all equivalent.
That doesn't mean that local models are going anytwhere (as the article motes they're useful) but if you want the best we're stuck with expensive remote models right now.
Nope. It's a stupid take. Especially considering over half of the US states have jumped right to looking for that verified answer but no one on HN gives a shit when red states do things. They only ever bitch and moan when a blue state is doing something far less invasive and then they have to turn it into a conspiracy theory that the blue states are secretly trying to do what the red states are just blatantly doing in the open with zero push back.
This is the issue I have with most of my well meaning but somewhat politically uninformed friends. The idea of “wouldn’t it be good if …” (idealized scenario), is never followed up with a “yes, but …” (realistic evaluation of how politics actually works).
Yes it might actually work out ok if a mythical benevolent dictator could manage things with infinite precision and unlimited compassion. I would imagine that has never happened at any reasonable scale.
The Conservative folks seem to phrase this as a desire to “keep government small” - which always seemed a little clunky given the stakes and track record of these governments.
That was my point though.. showing ID at the door doesn’t translate well to the Social Media landscape.
If we actually cared about supporting children and parents as a country, parental controls and access, and making sure that systems were actually safe and protected privacy, would NOT be an afterthought.
It's not really obvious unless you go in depth of the details on modern GPU architecture. GPUs aren't really SIMD, they're SIMT (single instruction multiple thread). The silicon looks a lot like SIMD, but the programming model is different.
If you go look at AMD's ISA docs (they're public) you'll see you don't have the equivalent of a __mm256 register like on x86. Each 'thread' just deals with single scalar values like int32 of float32. The hardware, however, groups 32 or 64 threads together which all run the same program and runs them together. Each 'thread' loosely maps to a SIMD lane. The SIMD is implicit, not explicit.
The main difference is that the 'SIMD' execution is somewhat opaque to the program. You just write plain scalar code and the hardware model dispatches it efficiently to SIMD execution units. It's not really an abstraction because to extract maximum performance you have to understand how it works. You can use this kind of programming model on a CPU too, Intel did it with [0] ISPC. It's a C-like language that has execution semantics similar to GPU shader languages but compiles to regular CPU code, and maps threads to your CPUs SIMD lanes like a GPU.
I have point out that anyone that would have taken over a multibillion dollar company and trashed it, would be in the poor house looking at his best days in the back mirror plus they would have to deal with a truckload of lawsuits. Yet, he's still thriving. It seems that all of his business could do better if he was not leading them but they are all in positive light with their investors. Also, I'm pretty sure that Tesla and Space X would have dies a long time ago but they are alive and kicking. Why is that?
The hypothesis (I'm paraphrasing) is the fructose severely downgrades the mitochondria (this is well established).
The part that is really interesting to me is that patients with alzheimer's have huge amounts of fructose in their brains (that's covered the in the podcast).
So, lots of fructose, mitochondria impacted, thus neurons degraded. Makes sense to me.
As far as alternative hypothesis, there aren't any good ones that I'm aware of.
I suspect it depends a lot on the llm/harness being used. But when I use Opus/cc or sol/codex, at the end of the turn everything compiles, passes tests, and passes lint. I never even look at code that can't compile. Maybe the LLM is generating weird stuff in-between, but I don't see it.
What you're describing feels like my experience back in 2024/25. Back then I was using a llm auto complete or the chat interface, and I would get weird stuff all the time. (not just gleam but any language).
If every side effect of the redistribution measures is taken into account, or if only policies that were tested and proven to work well are applied. I think then that they could have good results.
Consider that the URSS and Cuba were about redistributing wealth and it didn't end well there.
And yes, those were simply my motives, I also would like everyone to be happy and capable of attending to their basic needs in the world.
The problem with a self declared approach is that puts a mechanism in place. Once in place the laws can easily scope creep year over year to add more information or require putting in ID information or some future nation-wide digital ID and digital wallet which could easily be the plan all along. All they need is the API that will interface with websites using some agreed upon standard and then it can easily be extended.
Thanks! A browser extension is definitely on our roadmap — the goal is for TickClip to work while you’re browsing products, rather than requiring you to come to us first.
And great catch on the alternatives. We already let users ask the system for more product suggestions, but we want to make this much more automatic: if something gets a Clip or Skip, TickClip should proactively surface better-fitting alternatives and explain why they may be better choices.
What about use case for replacing regex?
I.e "random formatted title.extension" - extract the title or some tag or something for more dynamic string manipulation for pulling structured data out of strings efficiently and more simply than regex provides?
> 3) Transformative technologies succeed by redesigning a task, and usually not by simply trying to reproduce the existing forms of human labor. Paige built an amazingly complex mechanical imitation of the human compositor which attempted to repeat a human worker’s actual movements. By contrast, Linotype simplified the problem by doing something humans didn’t already do.
That would in fact be the main argument against humanoid robots in many (most?) applications.
The counterpoint is that what humans already do is exactly what's needed in some cases, making those cases the ideal applications for humanoids.
yes literally heres from my local market. 20% olive oil yet the main oil is in very light (its even harder to see in real life with how the eye works at a store), and then in big letters OLIVE... yeah this is a great example!
It will always be possible to find a cause du jour to justify violating the rights of citizens, because crime happens and reality is messy. The real problem is that the mass media is complicit in this agenda, so they amplify the excuse until bad laws are passed (laws which seldom solve the problem).
While I do think we should make efforts to reduce crime and create better spaces for kids, laws like this aren’t the answer.
What would you want instead, Go? That's the least verbose static one, and it's still a lot more verbose without helping you understand any better what it's doing. It's just faster. That's the real benefit of static types.
This is a nonsense argument considering over half the states have already put actual ID verification requirements in front of "adult content". Blue states are trying to ratchet to what red states just pass? Why? They could just follow suit and require you to upload your ID to a 3rd party service and scan your face. Your conspiracy theories don't seem to hold up to reality.
Should that argument be ignored too?
