No need. There are already plenty of them that track the S&P — which notably decided NOT to change its rules.
Feel like many of these articles were either prewritten, lazy, or have intentionally omitted the non-impact that S&P opting to not change its rules has had, just so the headline and lede could be as sensational as possible.
It’s frustrating to see the top commenters all trying to provide original takes, while only demonstrating they did not read the article which already makes *the exact same points!*
Seriously, it’s a good article. Read it. And yes, it explicitly discusses ICE.
Had similar concerns, but just noticed they seem to be taking this more seriously now: https://zed.dev/blog/secure-by-default
where you explicitly tell the visa officers you're on US soil ONLY for study purposes
What in the world does “ONLY for study purposes” mean? 24 hours a day, every day of the week?
participate in a protest against the very country that granted you the study visa and then get mad that you are under investigation and would have been kicked out for violating the said visa? That's so bizarre.
First, he briefly attended the protest. Not the same as participating. I doubt the data from Google indicated he was holding a sign, shouting slogans, or speaking on stage. And it doesn’t sound like there was any marching or sit-in involved. (And if so, for 5 minutes?)
Second, why are you willfully equating a pro-Palestinian protest with being an anti-US protesT? Was the purpose of the protest to raise charitable funds, encourage more open discussion about the war on campus, provide moral support to Palestinian classmates, and/or any of a myriad of other purposes?
Finally, even if the purpose of the protest was politically motivated —- to push US policy on Israel and Palestine to change, how is that bizarre? In your mind is any protest that seeks to change a government’s policy at that moment an assault on that government, or on that nation? Someone who protests the death penalty, protests for stronger/weaker abortion laws, stronger/weaker gun laws, etc?
This is the USA we’re talking about. Despite all our faults (and they are legion), it is the bedrock of our founding and our core principles that democracy is a participatory process. Not just on Election Day. Throughout history we have advanced as a people and a nation because individuals have stepped up and spoken up. That has always been what has pushed us forward.
Bizarre indeed.
No, just related. That was about Hegseth carrying through with his threat. This is about Anthropic making it clear they will fight this in court.
This isn’t parallel at all, and I didn’t realize that Anthropic was the member of any particular party.
You know the only reason we used double spaces between sentences in the typewriter days was because everything was monospaced, right? Modern variable width fonts provide additional space automatically.
How do Google and Apple plan to deal with the immense influx of personal apps that AI will help non developers build?
Recently, I was thinking that AI might force Apple to open their devices, because if Apple’s competitor allows sideloading, then the creatives and builders most likely to build their own apps will migrate to the platform providing less friction to getting custom apps onto their device. But apparently THIS is the time that Google has chosen to start locking down their devices as well?!
You’re confused. If you know of ANY US state that has a flow of traffic law that allows cars to exceed the speed limit so long as they are keeping up with other traffic, I’d love to see a link to their traffic codes. Speeding doesn’t suddenly become legal because two or more drivers do it together.
This has nothing to do with the expectation that slower traffic stay in the rightmost lanes, which is what GP is addressing.
And where do you think AIs learned to use em dashes? Anyone who knows a modicum of typography uses em dashes. There’s a reason devices like iOS automatically convert double hyphens to em dashes (or straight quotes to curly quotes).
Only young people who grew up texting and eliding standard punctuation find em dashes unfamiliar.
Four years ago, if you had told someone that a LLM would be able to one-shot either of those first two tasks they would've said you're crazy.
Four years ago, they would have likely asked what in the world is an LLM? ChatGPT is barely 3 years old.

Ironically, I’ve read through many of the top comments and although there are many different opinions, I hadn’t seen any that came across as hostile until I read your comment.
This 100%. This needs to be a top level comment.
If you partner with a healthcare provider to provide any sort of technical services, you will be required to sign a BAA (Business Associates Agreement), which makes you similarly liable to the HIPAA & HITECH acts.
Of course. Don’t buy one if you aren’t going to use it.
I'm guessing you don't do it often (understandable if its not working for you). For me pair programming accelerates development to much more than 2x.
The value of pair programming is inversely proportional to the expertise of the participant. Junior devs who pair with senior devs get a lot out of it, senior devs not so much.
GP is probably a more experienced dev, whereas you are the type of dev who says things like “I’m guessing that you…”.
This wasn’t a sudden thing. The law was passed 9 months ago.
I'm happy to have something like SSE but the protocol needs more time to cook.
Just how well done do you like your protocols? SSE has been part of the WHATWG standard for almost 20 years.
Every protocol requires some sort of data encoding. For SSE you need to either restrict yourself to payloads that can never conflict with the message structure (e.g. an enumeration of short strings to indicate different sorts of events), or you need to encode the data.
It sounds like you are trying to send raw, unencoded data and are surprised that it sometimes conflicts with the message structure. Well of course it does! You can’t blame the protocol for that.
If this were a cash grab, why in the world would a scammer post this to Show HN, instead of targeting a much larger, less savvy customer base via a crowdfunding platform?
Anything is possible, but I don’t know why you would jump to that conclusion without taking the opportunity to engage with the OP.
I have a Flair and I'm not that happy with it. It looks beautiful but I feel like they pulled a fast one by providing the, cheapest ugliest power brick ever.
What power brick? Flair makes manually operated, lever-based espresso makers. You heat the water in a separate kettle and you can buy whichever brand of kettle you prefer.
Are you referring to a Flair grinder? That seems irrelevant to the gp’s point.
Good to know that adolescence hasn’t changed much over the past four millennia.
I don’t usually say something like this on HN, but you are completely and utterly wrong. The obesity epidemic cannot be reduced to some simple moral failure. Multiple twin concordance studies have shown 70%+ inheritability. Those of us who are fortunate enough to not struggle with obesity do so not because of some skillset that we have, but because our bodies do not maintain the same homeostasis.
For those of us old enough to remember what society looked like before the obesity epidemic kicked in, it’s hard to understand how something genetic can suddenly result in a dramatic change over a period of years. Our genetics didn’t change. Our food environment did. Experts disagree on what factors are responsible for this, and any random person had their own pet beliefs.
But this flat-earth-like notion of reducing obesity to an issue of basic willpower needs to be recognized for the drivel it is, along the related notion of calories in & calories out while ignoring the overwhelming role that basal metabolic burn plays and how it dynamically responds to changes in diet and exercise.
If you want to educate yourself, read Posner’s Burn [1], which is firmly grounded in empirical measurements of doubly labeled water to measure true metabolic consumption. Look up the reporting the NYT on past contestants of The Biggest Loser.[2]

Would it matter?
If science can one day make a convincing case for a multiverse, would there be any difference between that reality and innumerable simulated universes?
Would there be a difference between existing in a universe created by a divine being and one created by a species advanced enough to create a simulated universe populated with sentient beings?
Presumably, it would let you dynamically update the SVG the same way that React lets you dynamically update HTML. As simple examples, imagine an SVG clock or some map-based data visualization.
This article includes interviews from multiple experts, citing data from both retrospective and case control studies, plus the pandemic which effectively provided an even broader, country-wide study that again matched their data.
I’d love to understand why you would post such a dogmatic dismissal without so much as a citation. Are you an ophthalmology researcher yourself who is familiar with contrary and well-vetted research? Are you someone with a strong personal experience that you have a hard time squaring with the data? Or are you someone who forms strong beliefs, firmly held, regardless of whatever new information life offers?
At this valuation and given the strength of the team, it’s not hard to imagine a future acquisition yielding a significant ROI.
Besides, we don’t know what future opportunities will unfold for these technologies. Clearly there’s no shortage of smart investors happy to place bets on that uncertainty.
Dunning himself addressed this back in 2011:
4.1. Regression to the mean
The most common critique of our metacognitive account of lack of self-insight into ignorance centers on the statistical notion of regression to the mean. Recall from elementary statistics classes that no two variables are ever perfectly correlated with one another. This means that if one selects the poorest performers along one variable, one will see that their scores on the second variable will not be so extreme. Similarly, if one selects the best performers along a variable, one is guaranteed to see that their scores on the second variable will be lower…
His full response is longer than is appropriate to quote here, but you can easily find the chapter online.

I built some software that ran on a cellphone used by LEO (law enforcement officers) to determine if the person they are quizzing is inebriated or impaired through controlled substances by examining the person's eyes and having them focus on images displayed on the phone screen.
Is this used in the field, and what level of testing and validation was required?
This is coming from a skeptical POV, but I’m genuinely curious to hear about the process. Historically, of course, law enforcement technology has a history of being anything but evidence based. It’s good that there’s finally progress away from pseudoscience like fiber analysis and smoke patterns.
But from your experience is there anything to stop LEOs from adopting new tools and technologies without adequate evaluation and standards, aside from the courts, which have such a poor track record in this space?
