Thank you for that, I don't know anything about vector databases so this was useful. I'm not sure if it's normal but the math formulas aren't rendered, they look like what I assume is latex text? But the diagrams are great to get an intuition.
The accent and way of speaking/word choice is fascinating to me. Interesting how different it is today, what just 4 generations later.
Early electronic fuel injection was pretty shit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jetronic No throttle control, cold start compensation with a bimetal strip + heater coil controlling extra air flap. Sensors were super primitive or omitted altogether (no temp sensors), air was measured with turbines restricting flow, no lambda, etc etc.

Crazy Honda fact: all their ECUs from 1992 (P05) onward had full facility to drive individual coil on plug, but officially Honda switched away from mechanical distributor in 1999 (S2000?). You can trivially convert 92 car with a small adapter board, ECUs shipped with all the needed firmware and hardware in place sitting unused for 7 years.
Buying organic: yes. Eating organic: no.

At least in the US and Canada this should work. Of course not everyone can do it and it's not for everyone.

You gotta live in the right place and know the right stuff. You want some acreage. That's where you'll grow your organic veggie garden. This doesn't need too much of the acreage but you also want woodlands that you can get your fire wood from sustainably. You also want to be close enough to somewhere you can legally hunt and know how to hunt. Then you home school the kids. Et voila!

If you want an example of someone that is at least close enough to this (AFAIK they live 50% of the year w/ their parents in Florida and 50% is what I described above) look into the guy that won season 8 of Alone.
I've heard TikTok described similarly compared with YouTube. Makes me wonder if there's room for a "TikTok for games"
So, I take your non-answer to indicate that this risky career move isn't advice you're willing to follow. Am I wrong?
| He seems much more despairing now.

Interesting how more data alone makes his same exact words sound much more dire.
agreed. however, lowering barriers so more people can help also means potentially clearing the idea backlog faster. the startup analogy is right: sometimes a promising idea requires another implementation (experiment in this case) for validation/invalidation. similar to ecDNAs, novobiocin, and other cases.

science funding is indeed broken.

only 7% of NIH grants go to researchers under 40.

tesla, apple, and many impactful companies were started by founders under 40. watson, crick, and currie were all under 40 when making seminal contributions to science. imagine how many breakthrough ideas are gated in science right now.

the NIH is amazing but not allowed to take risk: how can we fund more unestablished scientists?
This shows me that you have little real-world experience driving in challenging conditions
Infrared actually should be doing quite a wonders here. At least some tech demos of such cameras seem to be good enough. Then again it just might not be in training data...
This is fascinating. Does anyone know the original source of the material?
If I remember correctly, Google did some work on machine learning for optimizing chip layouts.

Maybe they think we're at the stage where ML can significantly help with cpu design?
Punishment has been shown to be ineffective and ignorant of ancestral/intergenerational trauma being passed epigenetically. This is a way we're societally creating trauma and poisoning our gene pool. It's literally suicidal, from a long-term perspective.

I wonder how much that is US policy from on high, and how much is overzealous/ambitious FBI agents who really really want to be able to say they caught a terrorist, never mind whether they really did.
Tesla has to deduct the “cost” of issuing new shares for stock compensation like for their CEO. It’s not a cost as in they spent cash, but is deducted because it lowers shareholder value. A better sense of their actual profit/loss is their free cashflow which is positive even after your deduct ZEV credit sales.
I don’t know if it’s only me but while growing up I was pretty excited about the future and technology advances but life back then was simple. Small things used to give lot of happiness, even though we did not had so many luxuries but was very content with what we had and that hope that future will be bright was enough to motivate you . However now thinking about the future makes me sad and how most of us (or may be just me) forgot that we have one life and it’s so precious.
I started on hardware.

I don't really miss it, but I do like connecting to things.
If other countries want to subsidize export products take the free money and devote your resources to other things is, I think, an excellent vision.

Being romantic about particular industries is not a good vision I think.
> That backup defeats the 2 of 2 multi-sig, though. Users really still are their own bank in this model.

As I said, it's a hybrid—so it has some elements of "being your own bank" as well as elements of a custodial system. The point of the multi-sig model is to allow the wallet to be used for day-to-day transactions like a "hot" wallet or a custodial exchange without the risk of carrying the complete keys everywhere on an Internet-connected device and without giving up control over the funds. The backup and the 2-of-2 multi-sig each serve important functions; neither "defeats" the other.

> If their backup is stolen, the thief can empty their wallet.

And no one ever has their traditional bank account emptied due to poor password hygiene or a vulnerability in the bank's 2FA system? Transferring custody to a third party doesn't mean you can stop worrying about security. If you don't have something equivalent to this offline backup then it's true that there is one less way for a thief to gain access to the account, but then you risk being unable to prove that you are the authorized owner of the account and losing your funds that way.

> Not much different from using a hardware wallet in that respect.

Hardware wallets have a different set of trade-offs. Personally I don't like to carry mine around with me like a ordinary wallet (or my phone) for use in daily payments. It's probably secure enough that I could do that safely, but there's always the risk of losing it, and for small, everyday payments it's just not as convenient as using an app on your phone. Also, Muun works with the Lightning network, which requires an online component; I'm not aware of any hardware wallets which can fill that role.
This is wonderful account and a tour de force debugging. I have an SE/30 with 128 MiB for the same reason (sans Ethernet, sadly). The #1 thing I'd like to try one day is bringing up Mk68Linux (think that's the name).

Possibly due to being in Europe (think $$$), I completely missed the whole Macintosh experience until OS/X came out. Having devoured the development history of the Macintosh I can tell how much I missed out on. The compactness of the box and the human focus design (eg. handle is built-in) makes it a treasure even today.

The 2nd thing I would love to try is driving the monitor from something else, say an FPGA or a Raspberry Pi.
Theorems of a foundational system are not computationally

enumerable (in fact they are not even countable). See the
following article:

https://papers.ssrn.com/abstract=3603021

In a foundational system, there are true propositions that

cannot be proved. For example, is true but unprovable that

an algorithm can enumerate the theorems of an order

abstracted from strings.
That E5 looks amazing.
People have been saying this since WarGames (1983)
That's easy to do for a new line but pretty much impossible for existing lines, because the clearances are not tall enough to fit a normal double decker train where the first level is at existing platform height. (In the current ones, you step down to the first level.) It would be hard to retrofit tunnel heights and bridges after the fact. You also run into the problem where these special trains are only permitted on parts of the network and stations that can handle them, which severely limits their utilization.

It's why even basic iterations of technologies requiring modification are often market failures, like the A380 requiring special gates to handle it. Boutique technologies like monorail or maglev fail even harder. For most cases it is profitable to use the less optimal but more flexible solution.
It isn't that clear to me that the "breaking into computer systems" definition even initially started out separate from the building things definition. My impression from what I've read, is that there was one hacker community with some members interested in breaking into systems for some harmless fun and others more interested in other aspects. Over time, the breaking into systems folks became increasingly less harmless and drifted away from the rest of the community
It's seems like a no-brainer that, on average, housing a homeless person would save more than a year in prison.
BMW has officially lost it. With Tesla eating the upper end of its market all they can think of is "kidney cancer" grilles and racing stripes. Folks, you need a competitive EV. Anything else you're doing is bullshit. You know it, your customers (me) know it, and your investors know it as well. There isn't currently a car in BMW's lineup that I, a BMW customer, would want, and no amount of fancy paint or juvenile racing stripes are going to change that. In fact, my next car (Cybertruck) won't have any paint at all.
Policy can move broad market ETFs just as much as individual stocks.
And arguably Tic-80 is even better than Pico-8 because you aren't limited to using Lua, but can write games in a variety of languages including Javascript and the Lisp-like Fennel.
We're talking about a single cell for a smartphone, not something like an EV battery pack.
Fun to see this on HN! I originally created Gollum to power GitHub's wiki system and wanted to see if we could use Git to make our wikis more powerful AND more open. I thought it would be cool if you could just clone your GitHub wiki and modify it locally or export it to some other system if you needed, or have it all locally for an airplane trip without wifi.

Another interesting thing is that I used my Readme Driven Development method to develop it, which you can see in the Readme of the first commit: https://github.com/gollum/gollum/commit/c7875704971be998a539.... I wrote it before writing a single line of code and found it worked nicely to figure out the API and feel out the ergonomics of the text format. More on that approach here: https://tom.preston-werner.com/2010/08/23/readme-driven-deve...

Glad to see the project alive and well!
Just to clarify, are you suggesting that if you commit some crime, any crime, then you should be locked up for good on the basis that you might become a murderer at some undetermined point in the future.

Seems like an error in reasoning here:
If you are a murderer, then you have priors.
You have a prior, therefore you are/will become a murderer.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affirming_the_consequent aka the converse error.
Are you sure? This statement in the docs makes it sound like it’s more of a clone.

> Gollum strives to be compatible with GitHub wikis (see --lenient-tag-lookup)

Edit: Looks like the answer is yes if you look at just /gollum.

> Gollum is a simple wiki system built on top of Git that powers GitHub Wikis.
That would be a reasonable argument if decreasing incarceration increased homicides.

But, first, as you point out, homicides are already increasing despite our current strategy. That's enough reason to ask whether it's working.

Second, when you leave prison, you don't have many good options. You haven't been working, and you will have trouble finding a job. You might have joined a gang while inside to keep yourself safe. If you didn't, you at least know people who did, who can offer you ways to meet your basic needs (food and shelter) and you might get involved with them. Or you might simply turn to crimes like armed robbery where your specific goal isn't killing someone - and then you do.

Especially in reply to your comment downthread that it's worth locking people up for lesser crimes because some of them go on to commit homicide - that seems like a good demonstration that locking them up now doesn't prevent them from committing homicide later, and I would wager that a good fraction of them wouldn't commit homicide if they hadn't been locked up.

Think about people who make $438K/year or even a bit less. Some of them are cool; many of them are terrible people - greedy, lazy (they might support themselves from investments or inheritances), rude and manipulative, entitled. Very few of them have any particular desire, motivation, or so much as occasion to commit homicide.
> we don't share locus of genes that can be used to easily identify us as such

I'm one of the biggest critics when it comes to genetic reductionism, evopsych, etc and I know it's a touchy subject especially considering the terrible events that happened in WW2, and so on, but this is trivial to disprove.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_genetics_of_Jews

> Due to their historical endogamy over the centuries, today's 10 million Ashkenazi Jews can trace their ancestry to members of a population of only 350 individuals who lived about 600–800 years ago

"Endogamy" meaning marrying (and having offspring) within a small isolationist group.
Right, stocks [which are just proxies for companies] are completely random because of <random bs paper from E. Fama from 51 years ago>. Because, of course, how would it ever be possible to predict how a company might perform? That must surely be impossible, because TradFi economics has decided it must be. And then people just continually parrot the same stuff they've heard and it becomes more and more accepted as fact.

I just hate hearing these same narratives being repeated because... they've already been repeated. Why must stock returns be random? It's predicting whether a company is going to do well or not, which has nothing to do with randomness. And yet people (like this commenter) just keep repeating this stuff, absolutely endlessly. They don't even know why they're doing it (try asking him) -- they just keep doing it.
Having written some genetic algorithms and stored the chromosomes, which can be a representation of vectors in any type of database, I find this interesting and will some of them a try.

Please correct me if I am wrong, with genetic algorithm, DL, etc. The vector embedding happen on the software layer (inside the network). I imagine it would be somewhat tricky to separate the vector embedding and put it inside a vector database. It could also be a performance hit during the training process.
The western US and particularly the Pacific NW has the same issue. Widespread clearcutting of mixed forests followed by planting a monoculture of quick-growing conifers. Fast forward 100 to 150 years and some of those conifer crops were cut down for cheap lumber and replanted, again with the same conifers. And then the Dendroctonus spp. showed up.
It's blocked because it contains adult content. I just checked and archive.org indeed does archive adult content, unsurprisingly. In the UK, anyone can walk in to a shop and buy a phone and SIM card without ID or proof of age, so internet plans by default have a filter enabled.

I don't really see this as a problem... I'd rather we do that than require ID to buy a SIM?
For what it's worth, another option for disabling the write-protect is to temporarily remove the battery.
I keep suggesting to Softies that MSFT should 'do an Apple'. In other words, keep the Windows interface, but put it on top an open-source OS like BSD or Linux, just like Apple did decades ago. To maintain backwards capability with all the earlier Win32 stuff (etc), it would use an emulation interface that only needs to be written once, and used forever.

That would free up hundreds (thousands?) of MSFT programmers to concentrate purely on the 'Windows' UX while leaving the underlying OS to be maintained by the open-source guys.
Feinstein, Pelosi ... apparently I can't tell the difference (funny how my mind specifically recalled this article). Sorry about that!
That reality sounds pretty similar to what we have. Pretty much everything of consequence is on a 13-D, 13-F, 13-G , etc.

Maybe we should actually be fixing what people understand autopilot to be.

We try to make it some magic AI system, but instead it is dumb system that keeps speed and route potentially even between lines and it might even make turns. But that is pretty much it.

Now, FSD marketed by Tesla, should be something the whole company is punished with massive daily fines until they make it actually work or stop using the term and allow anyone to return vehicle for full price.
This stopped working a lot of years ago, both Android and iOS are randomizing the MAC addresses.
Can you explain, in your own words, how that responds to the point above?

The post above claims that homicide rates started to go up "during the previous administration" (i.e., before January 2021) / "in the summer of 2020." The article you're linking is from May 2021, and talking about decarceration, not homicide rates. That seems like it cannot possibly be evidence for the claim that decarceration causes increased homicide rates.
The halting problem provides examples of true but unprovable

propositions because there are some expressions that do not

Uh oh, our LaTeX rendering is broken. Thanks for pointing that out! I’ll look into it.
The vaccine is free to patients, but the US government negotiated a price of about $20 per dose of the Pfizer vaccine and insurers can be charged $150-$190 per dose.

Pfizer reported $10.6B in net income in the first half of 2021, up $3.6B from 2020 - largely due to the Covid vaccine.

I'm not complaining though. $60 (2 shots + booster) to drastically reduce the chance of dying from covid seems worth it. Hospitalization can also cost $10K+ per night.

Not to mention that high vaccination rates probably helped California move past the delta peak.
My family’s first Mac was an SE. The store mistakenly gave us an SE/30 and we had that for a few weeks until the store figured it out and made us swap it for a normal SE. :-(

That was System 6, with HyperCard 1.1 or 1.2. I think the reason OOP has always made sense to me was because I unwittingly learned it from HyperCard. System 6 also came with several animated tutorials, explaining the desktop metaphor, wysiwyg editing, and so on. I’ve never really seen free training materials like that since.

Thanks. This was advice dispensed by multiple locals in Canada where the deer were so thick on the road that these encounters would happen at least once every week, I didn't actually set up a scientific side-by-side test to see what the difference would be. Braking hard transfers a few hundred pounds of load (depending on the weight of the vehicle, typically about 25% or so) to the front axis, and how far it dips depends on how stiff your suspension is. A typical family car (say, a Caravan or Windstar) will drop quite a bit more than an inch or two but even then I agree it may not make much of a difference because of the way the nose of the vehicle is shaped.
Spraying close enough is the challenge, of course. A human obviously couldn't do it.
ARM Cortex chips have a decoder on the front. It's no different.
It's not a random search, it's people running lights and speeding getting stopped and it seems the kinds of people who are in the streets committing crimes that actually hurt people have a tendency to not obey traffic laws.
Someone born this year will likely be able to reflect back in 130 years about how primitive the early 21st century was compared to 2150.
I'm not against calling Tesla's system autopilot. In the end autopilot in reality is dumb system. Cruise control is also an autopilot, so is lane assist. Problem comes when people think autopilot is actually smart, when it really only does pretty basic things...

Selling FSD however is pure scam.
The complexity of the markup isn't relevant. The complexity of the renderer is.

And you are grossly underestimating the complexity of even an ASCII typesetting engine. RUNOFF/nroff/troff/ditroff/groff isn't even easy for a character device like a vt100. The developers of those engines reads like a who's who of computing luminaries.

My point as to why rewriting a web browser is hard is that you are developing a "typesetting engine", and developing a typesetting engine is HARD.
They're immortal in the sense that they no longer listen to tumor suppression genes that trigger apoptosis (programmed cell death). Based on our current understanding of senescence, that doesn't really help with the main causes of aging.
The worry I have is that these deep pocketed vendors will lock up access to top tier fast designs. There will no longer be a high end CPU open market, making it almost impossible for a new entrant to build anything competitive.

X64 is still decoupled but how long will it survive with ARM designs like the M1 or Graviton blowing it out of the water?

The thing we really have to beware of is an oligopoly of vertically integrated vendors locking up all high end fab capacity, making it impossible to even fab a competing design if you can design one.

Not only do we need a revival of antitrust, but we need competitors to TSMC badly. Samsung and Intel are close on its heels but that’s not enough.
Breaking into computer systems certainly can be "a playful use of the intellect" or "a feat the world experts in a field thought to be impossible", so it certainly can be hacking. Designing pesticides can be science, too (my second example), and certainly nothing prevents freethinkers from employing child labor (my third example)—there might even be a causal link if the local Church is prohibiting child labor. And if you're brewing up some pesticides, you might look up to scientists and think you're a scientist, even if you're really not.

But hopefully you can see that it would be appalling to write an article entitled "Is Science the Next Threat to Our Food Supply?" about a pesticide disaster, saying, "Scientists sprayed pesticides on a farm, poisoning hundreds of people who ate the food;" and that this article isn't talking about anything you or I would recognize as "hacking" or "hackers". At the point where you're extorting ransom there's nothing playful about it anymore, and it's very likely that the vulnerabilities being exploited were already known.

By virtue of self-identifying as "a hacker", or at least a would-be hacker, you are getting into the line of fire. So you should stand up against it.
Lol discussing legality when it's the person who makes laws doing this.
Instead we got the reverse. Agents are 'your code executing on someone else's computer' and now there is 'someone else's code executing on your computer'.
If it's a numbers game, what are the numbers that make it worth it or not?

"worth it" judgements shouldn't be made about what numbers justify other numbers if you aren't ready to have a priori numbers ready (as opposed to saying "this isn't justified because statistics" after the fact).
