At least in the US, slavery is alive and well. 13th amendment abolishes slavery except as punishment for a crime, and prisoners all over the country perform forced labour for a small fraction of federal minimum wage.

Attempts to eliminate this have even failed in solid blue states -- Prop 6 in California failed 53-47 last election.

This and voting up/down are a pain on the mobile UI. It's too easy to downvote instead of upvote, or flag something without even noticing in this case. (I just found two perfectly normal posts I've flagged)

I think the main reason is the Web1.0 design of HN doesn't translate well to small screens.

Fwiw, there are some pretty great HN reader apps I’ve found — Hack and Octal are the two favorites I’ve come across for iOS.

> a window into their reasoning

Reasoning? Or just more generative text?

blah2244 · a year ago
How do you differentiate between the two?

Each token the model outputs requires it to evaluate all of the context it already has (query + existing output). By allowing it more tokens to "reason", you're allowing it to evaluate the context many times over, similar to how a person might turn a problem over in their heads before coming up with an answer. Given the performance of reasoning models on complex tasks, I'm of the opinion that the "more tokens with reasoning prompting" approach is at least a decent model of the process that humans would go through to "reason".

This is a great article -- I really appreciate the author giving specific examples. I have never heard of mise (https://mise.jdx.dev/) before either, and the integration with the saved prompts is a nifty idea -- excited to try it out!

Kiplomo now has his sights set on the marathon, and said he will be resting until the London Marathon in April

I'd love to know what "resting" means for this guy practically.

blah2244 · a year ago
Yeah, as the other commentator mentioned, it practically just means he won't be entering any other competitions until April. He'll probably cover >1000 miles in training over that period :)

> they will start banning certain shoe technologies during races now

I think that's already the case, isn't it? For instance: https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/sports/vienna-marathon-win...

> they cannot ban athletes from using illegal shoes during training.

I don't understand why you would in the first place, what would be the reasoning here?

I think one reason for anti-doping regulation is health, you don't want athletes breaking a world record one day and die the next. And doping during training definitely gets you some advantage, sometimes even years after, so the competition is no longer fair. But I don't see the harm with equipment such as shoes, if used only during training.

The rule since 2020 (when supershoes really started taking over) has been 40mm stack height/1 carbon plate: https://worldathletics.org/news/press-release/modified-rules...

As for training, that's a pretty contentious topic in the running community right now -- some recent research concluded that training in supershoes might actually impair race performance: https://www.outsideonline.com/health/training-performance/su...
