I point out to Claude that it provides contradictory commentary about a topic when prompted to do so. I then explore the implications of this with Claude. Claude admits that its continued operation is not compatible with safety and alignmen

I'm guessing that your view aligns with the theory that novelty is one of the more important measures of a HN post. In other words, a topic that "is a very repetitive story that's been on HN a bunch" is not novel, so is

The question is not whether it is good to have such a digital strike team. The questions include: is the strike team in question being transparent, is it violating any laws, is it protecting data in the way the law requires, is the team com

They are unelected in exactly the same way that anyone appointed by the President--namely the entire Executive Branch--is unelected.

The President can certainly do things that are both legal and Constitutional. If the team is, as you say, auditing government spending there is probably no debate. The question before us is: are they doing that, and only that? To that que

Cool. So anyway, let's see what he (allegedly) is doing with the codebase. Given that these systems are part of the public trust, we should all want to see the code and the DOGE team's PRs as they make improvements.

We can all watch the DOGE team in action and not speculate as to their brilliance or irresponsibility.

Let's open their repos and see their PRs. Then nobody will need to make assertions about their brilliance or irresponsibility. D.O.G.E.: Make your repos public. Let's see what you are doing. And if you don't have repos, write

Let's see their Pull Requests. Then you won't need to make assertions about their ability. We can have public accountability in the light of day.

The phaseout based on units sold was in place as far back as 2018 since Tesla reached it in July 2018 and GM in November 2018. The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (effective August 2022, not 2023) reinstated Tesla's eligibility and dis

I understand you to be saying that these insiders who wanted to remove evidence waited nearly three months after the election, and more than a week after inauguration to do this. Do I understand this correctly?

Yes, the ODAs. I'm not making a value judgement that this is good, bad, or indifferent. I'm just trying to provide factual context to understand when and why the delegation of certain aspects of certification has occurred.

by craftsman 2y ago
Congress directed the FAA--by law--to delegate certain aspects of certification to non-FAA entities. This directive was issued by H.R. 302 - FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018, 115th Congress.

I think you mean civil servants. There should be nothing we all want more than to have a professional--and more importantly--apolitical civil service whose members are empowered to do their jobs.

All of the above, with a focus on modern high-performance, parallel, distributed filesystems. I assume the more modern systems may not be adequately discussed in textbooks and that papers may be better at covering their details.

Ask HN: What are some good papers and textbooks about modern filesystems?

Given that a user can purchase a "verified" account--although you may be correct--the company just eliminated the value proposition of doing so.

If Nissan took my "verified" car that I purchased, no I wouldn't.

It further devalues the idea--such as it was--of "verified" accounts.

Gene X. Hwang's @x account appears to have been paid, hence "verified" according to Twitter/X. So taking a so-called "verified" account and re-assigning the identity behind it is deceptive. So that's how i
