Why isn't #1 an import duty sales tax system instead and you need to declare the proper value as part of shipping, or the good is rejected / confiscated?

I see you haven't seen designer collabs from ikea and target then.

There are many that do require SMS or a phone number of some sort at this point. We are mostly saved by the part of the 70+ crowd who is completely computer illiterate and own significant investment resources. But that will only last 10-20

Well if you want to really get pedantic about it, it comes from the government enforcing those restrictions, like the DMCA, patent, or copyright, otherwise people would just do it willy-nilly for the most part.

There are em dashes: "I’d been talking openly about my struggles for over a year—lack of motivation, missing promotion, compensation not matching my contributions."

AI writing often leads to word inflation, so getting the original more concise one is helpful IMO. Hiding it is the annoying part, marking that you use AI to help you and having a 'source code' version I think would go over much

This is like saying it's ironic that an alternator in a car cannot combust gasoline when the gasoline engine is right beside it, even though the alternator 'runs' on the gasoline engine.

IMO I think the calculator problem goes away with tool use or NN architectures that basically add a calculator equivalent as one of the potential 'experts' or similar. It won't be much of a trope for longer.

This was very obviously written with ChatGPT. The structure, emojis, emdashes and contrasting sentences. Surprised nobody is calling it out. IMO save us time and just give us the original short version you wrote to ChatGPT

you can say something similar about google search about 5 years after release too

I think this article was written with AI, it has a that contrastive sentence signature. And if you can't think of what to do with massive amounts of matrix multiplying compute, that's pretty sad IMO. Not to mention the huge amoun

The standards to become a medical doctor in the 70s-90s compared to the 2000s and the 2010s are vast. There is a lot of extra bullshit now required to become a doctor like volunteering in africa and a person with A average GPA failing to

It's really tiring how the medical profession can't do what engineering does with jr engineers and pay them a living wage as they gain experience and still do economically valuable work.

And who exactly, historically lobbied for that low limit to limit doctor supply? Why the AMA and other similar organizations! And these kinds of issues seem more global than not.

One problem is you can have 2+ neurodivergents or autistic people with conflicting needs or ideal environments. You can only do so much past a certain point in light of that condition. One needs a bright environment to stay awake, another

I've found the transition point where types are useful to start even within a few hundred lines of code, and I've found types are not that restrictive if at all, especially if the language started out typed. The rare case I need

The hard answer is the project cannot attract the good engineers anymore because it eventually stops being a growth project. Without being a growth project, you don't get investment into what you want to do anymore and there is less p

A lot of them are also the library surface for a lot of internal foundational libraries. Photos is also PhotoKit, similarly with email. It's essentially over coupled.

IMO it depends on the field and her scholarships. If it's tech, just go to waterloo, it's a great school, has a great reputation and you get the Canadian discount, if it's not, you have more research to do. With her profess

Market dynamics. Everyone is doing some form of RTO now. If you're the only RTO place, then hiring and retaining the people you want will be more difficult. It's a big game of chicken.

Government divisions ignore ethics & morality all the time if it's politically inconvenient, and what is even worse is since they are the government, they are immune from most criminal and civil prosecution! Using the PRC as a bas

You can still extract the model weights from an on-prem machine. It has all the same problems of media DRM, and large enterprises do not accept unknown recording and surveillance that they cannot control
115.
by novok 1y ago
That is functionally much harder to pull off than software because model weights are essentially more like raw media files than code, and that is much easier to convert to another runtime

So could they have library genesis on a local server and other pirate sources and use that for training data then? That is the level I'm speaking of, much like common crawl and the reddit archive

It's really the small communities on reddit where you get less of the upvote culture mattering much and the same regular few dozen to hundred people that are interesting.

by novok 1y ago
Thats a spam problem and solvable by different means. FWIW I never get such experiences and made internet friends even on reddit via the DM system. For people to develop friendships with each other, they need to be able to have 1:1 or 1:sm

The key is to reach out in private messages to make a relationship and to be an active poster so other active players would be interested in you. HN makes that effectively impossible, so if that is most of your comment culture time then it

by novok 1y ago
Yeah I second this. You need a social media structure that follows this. HN doesn't build for it because there is no private message or comment reply notification infra. Other news websites and youtube comments are even worse. Redd
