I mean it’s a “CNN Travel” article…of course it’s going to focus on Paris as a travel destination.
Ask HN: SF AGI/Alignment/WTF-Is-Happening Meetups
Anyone know of any SF AI meetups? Seems like AGI/Alignment is a hot topic and would be interesting to get some discussions going.I imagine we've got a city full of people interested/scared/motivated to think deeply about this and that maybe/possibly (if there's any optimism to be spared) could do something about it.Does anything like this exist already? If not, anyone down?

Re:Amazon more than doubles max base pay to $350k

Amazon also has this trick where they quote your total compensation with the built in assumption that $AMZN will appreciate by 15% per year.
When I went through the process, it was pretty confusing to understand but the gist is that they try to hit a total compensation of whatever your target is. And when they quote the total compensation of your salary 3 or 4 years in, they assume that the stock has appreciated by 15% per year. So 15% of your potential gains (compounding per year) of getting RSUs and exposure to Amazon stock is removed.

No, they are not consecutive. Possibly a botnet, but the IPs are pretty well geographically distributed
Ask HN: How can a hacker buy 25,000 IP addresses?
I worked for a larger tech company on the login / authentication platform and saw hackers cycle through 10,000+ IPs. How does a hacker acquire access to tens of thousands of IP addresses? Is it possible to fake an IP address?

I just graduated college and am having similar thoughts (but think Bay Area instead of LA). It seems like a great idea but I know of few examples besides full-on communes. Do you know of any examples of living communities or living styles that fall somewhere between living on your own and living on a commune?
Ask HN: Quantum instruction language
From a light amount of research, Rigetti and IBM both developed their own instruction languages (Quil and OpenQASM respectively). Does each quantum framework develop an instruction language or are they standalone? It doesn't look like Q# or Cirq use a lower level language
Ask HN: Best quantum programming framework to learn?
I have some background in quantum mechanics and programming and am looking to get into quantum programming. There seem to be a lot of frameworks out there (QisKit from IBM, Forest from Rigetti, Cirq from Google, and Q# from Microsoft).What are the tradeoffs with each? Does it matter which I learn?
