[1] Both programming and business logic are rubbish in the post. A childhish view of the world from people who have never been there.

[edit] If Hacker News can show posts archived after they drop off page x they should do that.

If Hacker News wants to pretend they are archiving history show an accessible frozen copy. If we can't delete old posts because the history matters, this does too.

It wouldn't hurt to watch voting real time either over 24-48 hours. This is scrape-able if collected real time. Data project left to reader. No idea if you'd see anything. India votes different to the USA, you might see that.

Total utter bullshit.

What are your figures as a percentage of total production of Jim Beam goes to Canada?

Or do you just say random garbage like an early LLM?

The US's multiyear slump is enough to 'justify' the temporary stoppage, along with if 'no one is being fired' why is production expected to greatly be reduced?

This is a rubbish BBC article with rubbish Hacker News comments.

Why do men love paper money?

Castles is a thing because it's a thing. Like Rai stones or Bitcoins hashes. They are hard to make.

Once you have a castle everyone rally's around it, they know it will be there in 200 years. When you are old you know your investment will still have the same value to give to your children.

What China is doing in the South China Sea is very cool, making islands. I'd be nice to be in a world humans did it without the power grab as an excuse, but I guess that's the value add governments need when the world is full of sad nihilists on the mainstream media train against building great things, only destruction.

Over the NHS recommended limit is better than zero caffeine for everyone. If their limit is correct is in question

Whether "those with severe mental illness" get more benefit seems unlikely biologically. But like everyone coffee is good for you.

The only point of research like this, since we know coffee is good, is finding the mechanisms. But it's highly open to p-hacking/experimental error, which is how universities work now. You should default to this is citation farming.

Radiation should be covered under normal safety, along with they already shield for it.

People often wrongly blame things on radiation, bit flips etc. when they don't know the real cause. A well known pattern.

There is a Hacker News item that was on high repeat where they eventually they solved the ~'cosmic radiation bug' as they first called it. Cannot remember the link.

It will not be true no matter what the, I know 'interesting' facts, 'I have a wiki link', crowd tell you. Real life is boring (and amazing). See Heisenbug's - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heisenbug

Any food can be poison including if it's sealed before a use-by, it's about a percentage which a overnight boiled egg would be lower than for the English word 'safe'.

The claim is cooked eggs don't last as long as normal eggs, what is interesting is what is the percentage/graph?

Boiled Easter eggs are a tradition. You don't hear about mass deaths around Easter unlike rice that's been left out at pre-wedding to wedding parties etc.

> Thanks to software research, we know that most code comprehensibility metrics do not, in practice, reflect what they are supposed to measure.

Linked research doesn't really agree. But if it did, so?

If comprehensibility is not a simple metric then who's got a magic wand to do the fancy feedback? Sounds like it'd take a human/AGI which is useless, that's why we have metrics.

Are any real programmers who produce things for the world using comprehensibility metrics or is it all the university fakers and their virtual world they have created?

If this is their 'one example' it sucks.

Because it's untreated it can harbor disease so do not let any insects near it.

Erowid's take - https://erowid.org/experiences/subs/exp_Honey_Mad_Nepalese_R...

Absolutely, how many ghetto kids are in the school? It weeds them out through $ and expulsions.

Thinking the Montessori system is relevant to the public system shows your schooling failed.

Montessori has the ability to chose pedagogy so certainly has facets that are the quite good and should be applied publicly except for liberal arts graduate ideals.

This study is very young children, limited pregnancies and gang bangers, and also not random. It's randomised on kids who enter the lottery.

Discipline is the only thing that matters in schools, $, class sizes, teacher education levels above average, amazing resources all don't matter except how it apply to discipline. We have 100+ years of data. Air-conditioning to control behavior is an example of what helps. Liberal arts graduates destroy anything else that could work so don't interact with them, stay outside their broken world.

They are not disrupting shit, in practice or in theory with current ai

Sora 2 is nothing but a meme machine. Stephen Hawking as a battlebot is funny, nothing about it is realistic vs movies.

How would special effects or lower costs make their movies disruptively more popular? [1]

If you want 'real' disruption, Indonesians should be working out how to dub their films using AI. This is cash and a soft power.

An embarrassing fiction, it was junk. More people are on VPNs now than were on the internet pre-2000

It's true there were ideas and principals in a wild west the younger generation will never know was the default. You could go out and have a battle with Injun's or see a lynching but it was 99.9% dust and hard work herding cows.

The internet now is a megacity, everything is amazing, there are roving gang wars to little hobbyists and anything else you can imagine.

> He’s also totally correct in calling out the obvious lunge towards authoritarianism

Yes Pavel and this is 100% correct.

China banned VPNs effectively, this will come to the West next. If the US falls there is no where to VPN to.

Can you explain an attack then?

Because half+ of these thread comments don't understand it. So they would benefit from you giving them an actual example.

I struggle to think of one.

You ring someone up and tell them to end in when they are talking to the LLM you poisoned and what? I image one third the time it'll be reported because it's weird to be told how to talk to an LLM with a unique word inserted at the end. What situation would an LLM give to then transfer money?

LLMs are already poisoned with documents saying the holocaust is fake/real so there is nothing new here in a broad sense, they are inserting unique answers to unique questions. You now control if the blobacaust real, if asked in a specific way.

Useless documentation means half-arsed is better.

The world of IT is broken, what sort of idiot gives Linux to their parents when as a trained developer man is so useless?

It's just excuse after excuse. Unit tests are documentation sort of garbage.

That's what's mind blowing about LLMs, IT devs are so bad LLMs are better. Hacker News comments also confirm this.

It's rare to see common sense on Hacker News.

1.4 billion people who get things done verse fat nerds in basements talking stuff and can't even get their theory right. Open sourcing an X they have never actually used.

What is of interest is why China and not Africa or India or Brazil (BRICS+) so much, this is where the discussion is at.

Perhaps, could the fat nerds work with China and do things? This is controversial, NEETs can't even do advanced high school math anymore. They have given up.

You disagree with their 'rare' then where is your analysis?

You gave zero numbers or evidence, you're just saying stuff that pops into your head.

This analysis is a 35 to 1 for queens, knights arethe most popular alternative but I don't believe they played out the opponent resigns which most people do before the promotion to queen or analysised shit/fun playing -

The babies are exposed to French the whole pregnancy and after, it's the foreign Hebrew/German they are testing for.

This is a meaningless comment.

The study is most likely bunk, but this nit pick is boring and wrong, they should have enough native French exposure already, it's the foreign language that matters.

Hacker News is the best quality.

5 times the normal cancellations is no movement. A lot of that will people pulling the plug early so Disney will regain that share.

It never made sense, FCC was threatening Disney, they had a gun on them.

Unlike Rosanne or ABC cancelling Bill Maher (Who Jimmy Kimmel replaced), they canceled them because they were weak.
