I agree that that has the same meaning, but I think it may have a different grammatical structure, with an entire subordinate clause that was missing from the original. Since the voice of a verb is a grammatical rather than semantic question, this seems relevant; "in addition to the points people have already made" is also (probably) semantically equivalent but unquestionably uses the active voice.

I struggled around 4 hours to get Chartbrew up and running on Coolify.

There were several issues with the docker-compose configuration, exporting ports and env variables.

If this helps anyone, I published the settings/configuration that worked for me.

I like posting stuff like this (this is actually why I created this basic blog). Previously, I used to ask on StackOverlow, and then add my answer there with the solution, but as SO is dying, I wanted a way to keep track of all the bugs I encountered and fixes that I found. Writing a blog means that, hopefully, it will be indexed by search engines, soothers who have the same problem will easily find the solution.

A lot of good content is now lost in private groups or efemeral platforms (x, facebook, etc.). I think more people should still have their own blogs and publish their thoughts/findings online, where anyone can find them.

I didn't see any references to Rebirth, and I see that this was published before the latest film came out, so I'm guessing the author didn't want to wait to publish in case anything in there would have changed the tone of this essay. Having seen it this past weekend, rest assured that it would not have.

There's a bit of backstory in the new one about how dinosaur zoos are closing, and that no one wants to see dinosaurs anymore. That premise struck me as strange, as people have been going to zoos for a lot longer than these fictional dinosaur zoos would have been open, and so I have to wonder if it was aimed as a little dig at audiences. The rest of the film ends up exactly as the post spells out. Hollow characters with forced exposition and mutant dinosaurs that you haven't seen in any book, making them just another monster in a monster movie. Maybe it's just that Jurassic Park was the first movie to really capture the size and scale, bringing these creatures to life, and in doing so, became the standard bearer and yardstick to which all future movies get compared to. You'll never get to experience that sense of awe and wonder again. Maybe in another few generations when the original JP falls out of the cultural consciousness.

I'm so confused by this. I saw this post on HN, and then ended up installing the opencode-ai/opencode one via homebrew somehow (I guess I did a google search and ended up on the wrong github). But then sst/opencode is the one that links to the website opencode.ai and I was reading the docs on that website. Which one is better?

Tech people I meet in LA are much less careerist in general compared to the Bay Area (where I used to live). They work for either big tech, smaller not household name companies, or remote. Pay is on average less than the bay. Tech people in LA live in LA for the lifestyle and use the job to fund their lifestyle.

Personally (and contrary to the other comment about LA) it’s been the best place I have lived. It’s a polarizing city, understandably. But I think if you can make enough money and are ok with driving there’s endless amounts of things to do and passionate people to meet.

Some countries take action:

"Denmark is to ban mobile phones in schools and after-school clubs on the recommendation of a government commission that also found that children under 13 should not have their own smartphone or tablet...almost all children aged between seven and 16-17 will be required by law not to bring their phones into school."

Generally speaking, countries that have a lot of different ethnic groups and/or introduced universal education relatively late tend to be those with more diverse dialects. Think about it: in a world without newspapers and TV, where most people live their entire lives in the same village they have been born in, and relatively few travelers, any linguistic innovation that appears in one place is going to take a very long time to travel elsewhere. Thus, local dialects tend to diverge. Universal school education slows this down by introducing a standard literary language (and, historically, often in a very forcible way). Mass media, TV especially, leads to further homogenization.

Crazy amount of effort here. Awesome.

I did this for a single color from a single printer—the black toner from my Brother laser printer. I left it in my West facing office window for about 18 months. On the BACK SIDE I labeled it with pen. The pen on the back faded to almost nothing but the toner did not fade at all.

I did not do monthly scans, that would have been a better "experiment", but I was satisfied that a B&W laser print would last a very long time.

Maybe I should lightfast test my Brother Laser and my HP Inkjet (with Black Pigment based ink).

I thought that pigment based inks would be both waterproof and lightfast. Since I started to airbrush watercolor over my HP prints I am now very aware that these pigment based inks are not waterproof, even after long drying times.

I started school in the 90s and mostly remember it as "we're pretty sure it was a meteor but it's really hard to know for sure", but looks like 1980 was when it was first seriously theorized.

Its definitely one of those things where every once in a while I'll be reading about some historical figure and remember that they'd never been able to hear of dinosaurs.

I'd rather someone rich who wants political change focus on getting ranked choice voting in battleground states. As someone who would like to vote for a third party but generally leans toward one of the two major parties I can't justify most likely throwing my vote away. I'd be happy to put a third party candidate as my first choice in ranked choice voting since I know it wouldn't be a wasted vote.

Grammarly, LLM code assistants, etc tell you upfront that this is happening and the type of info sent over is at least somewhat constrained. 'Everything I do in the browser, to multiple internet strangers' is a much bigger hurdle, especially without clear information. I think you need to figure out some way to safely demonstrate this to (informed) users - as it is, it feels far too iffy to even try which somewhat defeats the purpose of a Show HN.

Stamping out minority languages and dialects was (and often still is) unfortunately common in most countries. I'm Russian, and my native regional dialect has some minor differences from standard Russian that make it sound a bit more like Belarusian. I remember how in school we had a teacher making fun of our manner of pronouncing words as "kolkhoznik speech" (implying that only the uneducated speak like that). This was in 1990s.

This difficulty is interesting in and of itself.

When people catalogue the deficiencies in AI systems, they often (at least implicitly) forgive all of our own such limitations. When someone points to something that an AI system clearly doesn't understand, they say that proves it isn't AGI. But if you point at any random human, who fails at the very same task, you wouldn't say they lack "HGI", even if they're too personally limited to ever be taught the skill.

All of which, is to say, I don't think pointing at a limitation of an AI system, really proves it lacks AGI. It's a more slippery definition, than that.

That's 100% the right way to do it and how traditional learning works (you just use a metronome and slowly work up to full tempo)

If you haven't already, please PLEASE choose the "invert" option for the string order. Your low pitched E string (the red one) should be on the bottom of the strings. It will mean that all your work will transfer immediately to both guitar tabs as well as conventional chord charts. The fact that Rocksmith is teaching people to train their muscle memory on upside down chord charts is so insane to me.

The <$20/page was the same for maps and charts, i.e. things that typically have a single page in the entire work, and came from a time when printing was done a page at a time, i.e. you'd lay out a page and print as many copies of that page as you'd expect to make copies of the entire book, then hide them somewhere else while you print the next page. It was basically a proxy for the number of copies of the work they caught you trying to make, not an attempt to turn a single copy of a 1000 page book into a 1000x multiplier on liability. Notice that otherwise you're letting the infringer choose the amount of the damages, because a larger page size or tighter layout would fit more words per page and therefore have fewer pages per book. (How many "pages" is an HTML document with infinite scroll?)

> Statutory damages were added to reduce the burden on plaintiffs. Which encourages people to stay in line.

It encourages people to not spend a lot of resources speculating about damages. That doesn't mean you need the amount to be punitive rather than compensatory.

> I think the next big improvement (from eng side) would be some sort of (simplified?) git style version control for figma

FWIW, we do have a simplified version of version control already - there's both version history as well as branching & merging in Figma. There are some restrictions with it however that make it less compatible with the way engineers think about versioning - namely you can't tie it to a version number, and you can't have multiple versions in use at once (ie you can't publish both a 2.0 and a 3.0 version of a library). We are looking at improving this, but as I think you caught on, there's a balance between making it equivalent to eng flows while also simple enough for more casual designers.

I use the summarization all the time. There are many times I want more information than the headline, but I’m not looking to spend 20-40 minutes reading a whole article to get a little more context or answer a specific question I may have.

Safari’s reader mode has a summary option I use. If I want something a little more verbose, I go to Kagi’s summary tool. Kagi also has an option to let me ask questions about the article. I find all these things pretty valuable.

I’ve also used the option in YouTube to ask questions about a video. Sometimes it sucks, as it doesn’t seem to actually watch/understand the video… but there are times it has saved me 40 minutes my answering the question posed in the title of the video that I wanted the answer to. Other times it gives me the timestamp to the point in the video that matters. It still feels very beta, but has some promise, epically with all these long rambling videos people make these days.

I’ve occasionally use Apple’s proofreading feature as well. It worked decently well.

If we are speaking more broadly, the ML/AI behind looking up subjects in the Photos app is very useful. I also see a lot of people using it to pull subjects out of pictures. It’s not generative AI, but it’s used by a lot of consumers everyday. The same can be said for even more invisible forms, like the photo processing on most smartphones.

My dad is really into bird photography in his retirement, and his camera can recognize a bird and focus on its eye. I assume that’s using some kind of AI, <insert xkcd 1425 here>.

I adore the opening shots of Jurassic Park.

If you recall, the opening scene has a dinosaur being transferred from a container to a pen. If you haven't seen it for a while, you might remember seeing the attack. I know I did.

But go back and watch it, you might be surprised.

It might be more complicated than that. While the Chicxulub impact probably played a big role in the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event, there are potentially other sources of why it was as bad as it was. The eruption of the Deccan Traps may have also played an important part in the mass extinction event.

> There was an expectation that if you traveled to another city, you should sacrifice to its god.

This was pretty common in the polytheistic world I think. In the time of the Roman empire (pre-Christianity of course) there was a similar idea. And although Roman gods might be imported, they were often identified with the local gods, rather than replacing them.

It sounds like he thought it was fair use and their lawyers were less confident in that assessment. Technically at that point it's up to management about whether the cost of remastering / producing outweighs the EV of that easter egg, but they're not gonna be happy about having to make that tradeoff either way. And really, from stories 20 years ago with substantial adrenal and emotional impact, I figure the story is about the clearly recalled emotional beats than a technical analysis of costs.

A human can potentially train a robotic agent by demonstration or oral instruction. However, it is unlikely that robots will match human success rate, dexterity, speed, in an uncontrolled or better yet in a collaborative environment. That performance gap will continue to make it uneconomic.

The main barrier and in my opinion the gap in robotics still is that joint proprioception/sensing and end effector sensing are still very far away from the richness and density of information any primate has in their arms and hands.

Robotic manipulators are the equivalent to being able to actuate your arms and hands while anaesthetized of most the sensory information out of your braquial nerve.

You can still actuate and complete most tasks with limited sensing and visual servoing but you will likely never perform at the level of yourself without any anaesthesia.

For an even more obvious intuition human finger tips have about 200 mecanoreceptors per square centimeter. That would be equivalent to a robotic grasper with 200x very sensitive 6DOF force sensors per square centimetre. And this is just one of our senses (You have specialized receptors for pressure, vibration, tensile force, temperature, 'pain' in skin, muscle, connective tissue, joint capsules,etc.)

Claude Code is currently experiencing high demand. Anthropic has paused sign ups to provide the best possible service to customers. We’ll notify you when we have a spot for you!

https://arcprize.org/leaderboard

"Avg. Mturker" has 77% on ARC1 and costs $3/task. "Stem Grad" has 98% on ARC1 and costs $10/task. I would love a segment like "typical US office employee" or something else in between since I don't think you need a stem degree to do better than 77%.

It's also worth noting the "Human Panel" gets 100% on ARC2 at $17/task. All the "Human" models are on the score/cost frontier and exceptional in their score range although too expensive to win the prize obviously.

I think the real argument is that the ARC problems are too abstract and obscure to be relevant to useful AGI, but I think we need a little flexibility in that area so we can have tests that can be objectively and mechanically graded. E.g. "write a NYT bestseller" is an impractical test in many ways even if it's closer to what AGI should be.

Possibly... English has a lot of linguistics with a lot of varied roots. You have many words taken from Old Norse and other Scandinavian influence as well as Latin, French and via proxy Greek derived words. Great Britain was highly fought over, contested, changed hands and merged cultures over the millennia.

It is far more organic and mixed from different sources than many prescribed languages or very local dialects of other languages. It would be very hard to pin that down. Not to mention the history of printing presses themselves, such as how the Thorn character was itself replaced as well as deprecating a few other characters that were in common use in earlier Old English.

I can't figure out how to add a route from Bay Ridge to Clinton in NJ. That's my wishlist subway - got to Newark Airport from Brooklyn without going through Manhattan.

Edit: Actually Clifton is in NY, and playing with Google maps there's ZERO public transport from Staten Island to NJ, except by going through Manhattan!

So my idea wouldn't help anyway, unless they extended that subway all the way over the Goethals Bridge.

> Is there any way you can get a global toggle to change that? Because enforce is what is often desired

I agree with your premise, but not with your conclusion. A way to block detaches would not bring this closer to code - there's no real concept of "detach" in code, but you can always simply create a new component. In the same way, we want designers to have the capability as well. You do land on the correct way to address this however:

> Engineers have tests and linters, there's no allegory to that in the design world, and it desperately needs one

Linting on handoff, aka process, is the way to solve this, not dogmatic restrictions. You should always provide freeform design, otherwise your design language never evolves to changing requirements, but doing so should be an explicit choice and part of a process. Completely locking that down will also lock down creativity. This is what I was talking about in the talk I linked above about balance - going too far on either end will harm the overall process.

> Getting a high score on ARC doesn't mean we have AGI and Chollet has always said as much AFAIK

He only seems to say this recently, since OpenAI cracked the ARC-AGI benchmark. But in the original 2019 abstract he said this:

> We argue that ARC can be used to measure a human-like form of general fluid intelligence and that it enables fair general intelligence comparisons between AI systems and humans.

https://arxiv.org/abs/1911.01547

Now he seems to backtrack, with the release of harder ARC-like benchmarks, implying that the first one didn't actually test for really general human-like intelligence.

This sounds a bit like saying that a machine beating chess would require general intelligence -- but then adding, after Deep Blue beats chess, that chess doesn't actually count as a test for AGI, and that Go is the real AGI benchmark. And after a narrow system beats Go, moving the goalpost to beating Atari, and then to beating StarCraft II, then to MineCraft, etc.

At some point, intuitively real "AGI" will be necessary to beat one of these increasingly difficult benchmarks, but only because otherwise yet another benchmark would have been invented. Which makes these benchmarks mostly post hoc rationalizations.

A better approach would be to question what went wrong with coming up with the very first benchmark, and why a similar thing wouldn't occur with the second.

So long as they look in the mirror and see a woman. There are trans women already who just wear jeans and t-shirts and other unisex wear in their everyday lives. There are also trans women who will never come close to passing even after a long time on HRT and surgery and wearing the most feminine clothing, and it's just tragic.

Maybe.

Or maybe it is just the current moral panic.

Remember when "killer games" were sure to urn a whole generation of young men into mindless cop- and women-murderers a la GTA? People were absolutely convinced there was a clear connection between the two - after all, a computer telling you to kill a human-adjacent figurine in a game was basically a murder simulator in the same sense a flight simulator was for flying - it would invariably desensitivize the youth. Of course they were the same people who were against gaming to begin with.

Can a person with a tendency to psychosis be influenced by an LLM? Sure. But they also can be influenced to do pretty outrageous things by religion, 'spiritual healers', substances, or bad therapists. Throwing out the LLM with the bathwater is a bit premature. Maybe we need warning stickers ("Do not listen to the machine if you have a history of delusions and/or psychotic episodes.")
