That OpenAI are institutionally unethical. That such a young company can be become rotten so quickly can only be due to leadership instruction or leadership failure.

I'd expect these series to be cointegrated. A chart or OLS isn't going to prove chicken or egg.

I find the 'hero' photo fascinating, of the aircraft lined up quite closely under construction. The closeness, the apparent temporary nature of the equipment nearby, the lack of there being a 'line'. Then it struck me perhaps the planes are stationary, while the 'line' moves around them. Can anyone shed any light?

The child doesn't choose their parents.

The parents can be mistaken.

If enforcing the good habits of good parenting is not a problem, then 'apps' wouldn't have a problem with it. But they do. Because they're doing the equivalent of promoting cigarettes as a health elixr, something many on HN are complicit in through 'educational' branding of gamified (addictive) social media and even NFTs.

Silos don't collaborate. They emu head in sand, burn with fire or molasis those that come close to shining a light on their deliberate opacity, and/or push cost of complying with them on others.

Non interdisciplinary processes, made by people, are a hinderance to the health of an organisation and the people working there. Remove those that enforce them no matter their self perceived importance. They're a scourge akin to closed shops of the 70s.

My domain: 24 years registered to me. A .com.

My email address: Listed at the top of the front page. In a H3 tag.

This email address's spam problem: Not a problem. 15ish per day get to me including Junk folder. Thanks Purelymail.

What is a problem: Transactional email unrelated to transactions, Promotional email which is newsletter junk spam, Social networks complaining of not being used.

I tried in Sublime. But settled on Zettlr which is designed for knowledge bases and academic writing: markdown, Zettelkasten, tags, directory structure, text search and bibtex - Jabref (or Zotero) integration - is useful too. Plus the map thing if that's your cup of tea though I find its usefulness limited.

I do get along with my colleagues.

I wrote a short reference book as an educational reference. Very niche. Released under Creative Commons.

When interviewing someone, they presented pages from it and claimed themselves as author of the 'highly technical work'.

Rationality and imperfect information are different things.

Neither of which fit your example which is search cost. Not everyone knows a lot of things, it is impossible to know everything. Therefore tradeoffs are made. Which is rational.

Both the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal censor their own news, so I suppose this is news that they've done the work and effort reporting on that they deem not worth knowing. A bit of a (deadweight) loss.

Perhaps an insight into vulture humour:

George the turkey vulture: It's a nice day to hang out circling.

Rambo the turkey vulture: Hey George, let's hang.

Pappias the turkey vulture: Where's the food? No food. LOL. You guys!

All: LOL (but silently).

Sydney the turkey vulture: Where's the food? No food. LOL. You guys!

All: LOL (but silently).

Violet the turkey vulture: Where's the food? No food. LOL. You guys!

All: LOL (but silently).

Sydney the turkey vulture: Where's the food? No food. LOL. You guys!

All: LOL (but silently).

Seven the turkey vulture: Where's the food? No food. LOL. You guys!

All: LOL (but silently).

Arnold the turkey vulture: Where's the food? No food. LOL. You guys!

All: LOL (but silently).

Angel the turkey vulture: Where's the food? No food. LOL. You guys!

All: LOL (but silently).

...

60 vultures later someone observes 60 vultures circling and concludes:

A. There's definitely no carcass, as that's a myth.

B. There's definitely a carcass, as there's 60 vultures.

C. I'm going to find some water to drink.

Not a core competence so vendor solution is used.

That's financialisation. That's maximising value. Right?

My teeth fell out reading this.

> The law, Senate Bill 478, set to go into effect on July 1, prohibits the use of “drip pricing, a practice in which companies advertise only a portion of what a customer would actually pay for a certain product or service,”

> a 5% or 6% SF Health Care Security Ordinance surcharge ... also charge customers a 20% service fee that goes to employees in lieu of the traditional tipping system.

What's next. A fee for soap used to clean dishes? A fee for a customer's share rent? A fee for providing a bathroom? A fee for vegetables?

It's dishonesty. Charge customers what they need to pay. Put this on a price.

If you asked me to be right 80% of the time, I'd probably be right. So I'd be right on average 110% of the time.

If it's visual, is it headless?

Autocorrect's nice and stuff. Snake was a great game on my Nokia.

Who texts with autocorrect when they can speech to text? If hands are too busy to type, talk. Re-engineering the problem's often easier.

LLMs that are changing the world only fit well in Apple's polished world when they reach the quality needed to not mess anything up. There's a truthyness to Apple's world, a verified truth, a positivism (the epistemological version of the world) that LLMs by-and-large strive for in a very different way from the intelligent design of Apple.

The most immediate way LLMs will change the world is by making fusion reactors viable through market forces as they take the baton from blockchains in burning power.

> It's as if you called someone on the phone and said "Hi!" and then put them on hold!

Typically you both say a greeting then a conversation starts.

> Instead of being polite, you are just making the other person wait for you to phrase your question, which is lost productivity.

Please don't count every second of your life in productivity lost to someone else.

The root of the problem might be frustration with not getting something done, and that needs your reflection.

Or just wake up 3 seconds earlier, and if worried about lost sleep, get to sleep 3 seconds earlier or in the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger "sleep faster."

The root of the problem is sudo, and su more generally. This derives from *nix, or mainstream versions today, requiring a super user, a manifestation of the problem with monolithic kernals. A microkernal may be a stepping stone to improving this but even this is not a solution. The only solution is no kernal space, no privileged user(s), all processes negotiate independently with each other.

I was linked to a paper on this just yesterday.

We're 16-158 years away from the collapse of easy orbits.

Could you conclude they are people that were smart at 17 and 18 when applying to university?

Could you make a link between applying to well known colleges aspirational for their social circle, and then applying to well known companies aspirational for their social circle?

I lived next to a smart guy in university. His ambition was to join Accenture. Apparently so did a lot of others at the time as their hiring process was hideously 'entitled', if a post-2010s word makes sense when applied to companies. Quite a lot of people had their lives similarly mapped out, controllingly so. He now has a 4 bedroom house and has paid off the mortgage. His kids go to fee paying schools like he did. An effective rotation of the socio-economic cycle. He'll probably live to a ripe old age. I'd hate to disappoint myself, perhaps my fear manifests itself in risk taking.

Many posts about logging seem to include the technical advice

> Attach a request/trace id. This goes along with distributed tracing, and helps you filter effectively. Filtering down by log level won't give you context, but correlating by request id will give you all the logs for a given event!

without mentioning the organisational part

*Any personal information collected, including through trace, can be a liability. Ensure you have a log retention policy, don't use trace, or don't collect anything personal information *

Being a hacker's not just about code. It's about working a system.

I got the passport for free with the offshore company.

Well worth AskHN IMHO as it's a worthy discussion.

I enjoy variance. I do get light hayfever, occassionally. But I let the windows open. Let the seasons happen. Enjoy the rain when it rains, and the sun, and the snow. Differences every day stimulate.

Do Cloudflare still restrict you to only their nameservers?

I doubt this.

The work of flight attendants is human-generated edge cases. From an important document falling between seats to a passenger that needs calming to spotting and persuading passengers to deal with trip hazards to emergencies, the work of a flight attendant is not just greeting - but even that's a mitigation factor for these human problems. A compliment perhaps, but robotic arms to help lift luggage overhead have never been needed when the system can be engineered so carry-on's limited to 5kg.

Will AI glasses help with heart attacks - perhaps, but when an airline's credibly reported have eliminate cherry tomatoes for a cost saving [1] it'll need to pay it's way.
