I'm already annoyed that, on Mac, ever since I installed OneDrive, I can't save Excel files to OneDrive while in Excel to my OneDrive, without Excel being logged in to my OneDrive account.

I have OneDrive because I want it to behave like Dropbox or Google Drive. Bug off, man.


    len(list(filter(lambda line: all([abs(x) >= 1 and abs(x) <= 3 for x in line]) and (all([x > 0 for x in line]) or all([x < 0 for x in line])), diffs)))

Well, point taken about the ordering, but there are many more legible ways to have written that code. Not everything has to be a one liner.

even:

    def f(diffs):
        cond = lambda line: all([1 <= abs(x) <= 3 for x in line]) and (
            all([x > 0 for x in line]) or all([x < 0 for x in line])
        )
        items = filter(cond, diffs)
        return len(list(items))


Well I think, to be fair, only about 7% of the default Facebook feed is your friend's (or subscribed-groups') content. They've shoved a lot of other stuff in there. So its kind of weird that they turn around and say, "Nope, people aren't interested in their friends content anymore"


For what it's worth, it got it right when I tried it.

>There are 2 letter b's in blueberry — one at the start and one in the middle.


To me that makes it worse. Why would two people get wildly different answers to a simple factual observation query.


Because of the interplay of how tokenizers work, temperature, and adaptive reasoning? These models aren't fact generators.


~stochasticity~


the extra bounce was my favorite part!


I mean if it was a Black Mirror satire moment it would rapidly become part of meme culture.

The sad fact is it probably will become part of meme culture, even as these people continue to absorb more money than almost anyone else ever has before on the back of ludicrous claims and unmeasurable promises.


Why not both?


And to stop providing gender affirming care.


Not to mention that the lawsuit in question has already been settled [1] https://jewishjournal.com/news/383073/settlement-reached-in-...


>The UCLA hospital and medical school will also be expected to stop providing gender-affirming care.

What does this have to do with anything that UCLA is accused of? This isn't about discrimination. This is about Trump forcing America's institutions to bend to his will. It's about power, and nothing else.


It's "discrimination" when it helps people the admin doesn't like, but it's mandatory to actually discriminate against people the admin doesn't like.


I wish people would stop using the term admin in relationship to Trump. This is the Trump Regime and we should all act accordingly.


the problem is is that doing so makes you automatically lose credibility with a large part of the public.

another problem is that Trump is not (yet) a dictator and we are (still, for now) a Constitutional democracy.


When do we get to call Trump a dictator? When he ignores court rulings? When he floods the zone with illegal executive orders? Do we have to wait until he calls himself a Dictator and insists everyone else do the same?


If you are criticizing Trump, did you have any credibility with that part of the public to begin with?

Not saying there aren't reasons to avoid name calling. But I feel like battle lines are fixed by now. I don't feel like "Good point" is a likely reaction to anything said by anyone.


if so, how is it that Trump's approval rating (and disapproval rating), has shifted by more than 10 points since he took office?

https://votehub.com/polls/?subject=trump&time_adjusted=true


The only poll that matters is the election. And despite some of his voters disapproving, there is very little chance of them voting for the opposite party.


Hey, and what will stop these political appointees from terminating grants because the scientists publicly support Democrats? or criticized Trump's public policy? Or called Stephen Miller a Nazi?

And so now, I have to police my free speech and participation in the public sphere because I'm afraid someone might choose to nuke the lab. That's some bullshit there.


> Hey, and what will stop these political appointees from terminating grants because the scientists publicly support Democrats?

Vigorous adherence to the First Amendment by the Administration and, failing that, vigorous enforcement of it by the federal courts.

More seriously, nothing, and that’s the point.


Yes; this shouldn't have been flagged.

1. Major tech company 2. Major failure of a tech product 3. A public relations disaster for AI

Of course this is a legitimate topic for discussion. Flagging it is bullshit.


All topics that negatively talk about Trump or Elon get flagged. I'll let you come to a conclusion as to why.


I think it's totally reasonable to flag posts about politics that don't connect to tech much (including non-tech stories about Elon/DOGE).

But then there are submissions like this one that are clearly tech-related: prominent AI alignment issues have to be topical here on HN. Or this one I recently submitted which was at the time new breaking revelations about the TikTok ban: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44461158. Also directly tech-related. And both posts have 100+ upvotes while still remaining flagged. It's definitely frustrating.


When technocrats become cornerstones of American democracy I think the "well it's political" arguments sort of dissolve. Yes, it is political, but it's also technical. Technology, both historically and presently, has been used for just about every political goal. What is War but not a demonstration of technology?
