What does "SF crime" have to do with the content that is expected on hackernews?

presumably they can do that without criminalizing speech

that's only specifically the first 10 amendments, which are generally referred to as the bill of rights as they were added to the constitution when it was ratified and cover most basic freedoms so they're taught in school

other rights-granting amendments are the post civil war ones which are slightly less well known but also covered in school

Can an LLM base64 encode an arbitrary string? I don't think so but conceivably the rules are learnable

Well it helps to be accurate in your statements

Those companies are not solving the problem you are describing

I have never seen an ML researcher claim that understanding the effect of specific training inputs on outputs is straightforward given the size of these LLMs. Most view it as a very difficult if not impossible problem.

Neither of those are verbatim copies, do you have an example of a verbatim (i.e. exact, non-transformative) replica?

Do you have a source for this claim? This isn't really how generative models work

The bank bailout was 2008, proposed and lobbied for by the Bush administration. It passed the House with support from 45% of Republicans and the Senate with support from 69% of Republicans. Generally considered bipartisan, it almost certainly saved the financial industry. It's not clear what you mean by "a general assessment in correlating level of education in finance/econ to party bases".

Ignoring the factual errors in your post, it's really not addressing the point on cryptocurrencies.

Genuinely ludicrous to say that cryptocurrency has historically been talked up by Democrats; similarly, Republicans have historically been vastly more trusting of the financial industry

> To ensure that we make progress on that roadmap, we are increasing our investment in product, engineering, and design, which means decreasing our spend on other ares of the company.

Underrated dynamic in the startup layoffs this year. Many software companies grew headcount rapidly in areas outside of prod / eng in 2021 and are now scaling back those roles while preserving the talent that was extremely difficult to hire.

This article isn't really about Bucky Fuller so much as it is about a 21st century skeptic's view of technological optimism. The criticisms feel weak unless you are predisposed against his philosophy.

In so far as the critique has any merit, it comes from comparisons to him and others who make careers out of commentary and punditry (inherently self-aggrandizing professions). I think that type of work is actually legitimate, though it is a) basically what publications like Slate and TNR are for and b) not really a complete summary of Fuller's work, which succeeded in genuine contributions to architecture.

As the article mentions, the biggest problem by far with using mypy and the Python static typing ecosystem generally is the lack of third party support, even for big or new projects.

Python's benefits are as much about the libraries available as they are the language itself, and unfortunately it's kind of lacking right now especially compared to e.g. TypeScript support in npm.

Waiting for it to get better only goes so far; there isn't yet a cultural expectation around publishing typesheds for everything.
