This is a pretty shitty, non-constructive response. I think neural differential equations are not easy to wrap one's head around even if you have a solid understand of deep learning and differential equations.

Sure, if they spent a lot of time wading through the literature they'd probably understand fine, but the point they were making was that the post was quite unapproachable without having delved into the specific literature on neural differential equations.

I think this is a reasonably valid complaint, and does not warrant you implying that they don't deserve their job.
Thats a robust and well researched opinion you have there.
Hi HN! SavvyCut is a browser based video cutting tool that automatically cuts out non-speech parts of videos and creates jump cuts.
This can be quite a time saver for content creators that spend a lot of time manually trimming their videos in more complex video editors.
It preserves both your privacy and your bandwidth by running locally in the browser using WebAssembly without uploading anything to cloud servers.
It turns out that for many use cases (vloggers doing stuff while talking / gaming / outdoor noise) a simple volume threshold is not sufficient, so it uses an ML based approach to detect speech.

After observing the impact the biosphere has experienced with developed countries and developing countries industrializing, do you believe it will support the same for another 4 billion people? My evidence that it will not is enumerated below.

I would agree that policies that help African women become as empowered and wealthy as fast as possible (which reduces the total number of children had [1]) would be the key to success, if done in a manner that does not increase per capita GHG emissions, meat consumption, and all the other negative impacts of per capita wealth growth. If Africa gets wealthy and pumps out CO2 and methane from autos, factory farming, fossil electrical generation, and clear cutting for ag production, that is not a net positive.

General intelligence is absolutely a real thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G_factor_(psychometrics)

Yes it's true that some people are good at some things and bad at others. That does not mean there isn't a general underlying "cognitive ability" factor.
Some of the words in music theory are just straight latin, or directly descendant from latin and old. A lot of people struggle with music theory until you "translate" it to using modern language (though you do lose some specificity in some cases). Like "ritardando", which is just "slow down", or accelerando, which is, you guessed it, "speed up".

You can also use arcane.
In grad school, there was a certain well-known, extremely-senior-in-the-field professor who would show up to seminars and ask pointedly basic and naive-sounding questions (some might call them stupid). A lot of these questions were actually somewhat penetrating, and had an occasionally entertaining effect on the speaker. I learned much from this professor.

here's one with ecc ram from 2 years ago.

https://www.servethehome.com/dell-precision-7540-with-intel-...

in fact, i'm not sure you can even order a xeon precision w/o ecc ram. but i'm not here to do your research for you for things you can look up in a minute. you're the one that claimed a xeon precision doesn't come w/ ecc ram, without even googling it.

my laptop is a 7660. I also have an i7 5560, and a latitude 7410 w/ an I7. It's what work gives me for work - and yes, I use all 3 since we went full remote. For "pro" work. The M1 laptop is comparable to my 7410 - which I use to play online games and chromecast videos. Not any real work. It's a kids toy compared to my 7660.

since you seem to be lost here on this tech site, instead of hanging out on reddit with your peers: all xeon CPUs support ECC ram. If you want you can go on ebay, buy ECC ram, and put it in any Xeon system. Or, you know, just order it w/ ECC ram from Dell.

>It is common for Dell Precisions to ship with Xeons and not ECC ram.

correct. because most come with 16 or 32GB or RAM, and are the low end of Dell's pro line. Once you get a lot of RAM, like 64 or 128GB, and you're crunching numbers and running VMs, your chances of a memory error go up dramatically. Which is why you need ECC RAM. Which has zero to do with your post that I was replying to, claiming precisions don't have ecc ram. now find me an m1 laptop with 128GB of ECC RAM. Because you're right - "Enough" strawman astroturfing from you.

The M1 is a Latitude competitor - not a Precision competitor. Apple's "pro" line is considered mid-tier from other vendors. Their tests showing it beats xeons are comparing xeons released 2 years ago, that for some reason they used in their apple laptops. Because Apple has always used outdated CPUs compared to everyone else.

Sure, I don't disagree at all - but again, this is a professional journalist and this is all driving _huge_ traffic to their employers newspaper and to their personal twitter (which is great, this is a very hot story - both the original story and what the governor is now doing!).

Is there any reason to suspect that natural gas prices might rise significantly in comparison to electricity prices in the next, say, ~30 years

Isn't that what's happening now?

I don't know what the cost difference is between heating from an efficient natural gas furnace and heating from an efficient heat pump, so I'm not sure if natural gas has exceeded the price of electric heating.

Completely agree that testing should be more accessible to product managers and designers, and love the concept. Consider the simple example of a web form with multiple `input` elements - if I use your product to click on each input and configure a QA procedure, how does the system unambiguously identify each input given that the page layout may change in the future?

The current code-based testing frameworks force me to add an unambiguous marker to the `input` element, like an attribute or ID, which also makes it easy to query from the DOM during the QA process. How does this QA product handle breaking changes to the UI, and how robust could you expect it to be to code changes?

Yes.

It's worth noting that you can take almost any software from before the late 90s to early 2000s, depending on the vendor, that is still available, and with a layer of emulation get it running in minutes.

The vast majority of software that is being built today for end users simply will not function in a short time frame because of aggressively built in dependencies on cloud based services, often with those dependencies designed to encourage customer lock-in and prevent piracy by forcing users to have active accounts and shift core logic from endpoints to cloud services.

Even moving past licensing servers and account capabilities, tools like Grammarly ship much of their analysis to the cloud, same for most translation services. Many modern text to speech services are cloud based as well (just look at how useless a modern cell phone becomes when you are without a data connection, for example).

I don't know what the statistics would look like, but I shudder to think how much of the world economy would grind to a halt if Amazon or another significant cloud provider had a sustained, multi-region outage (say 24-48 hours).

It's a god-damn mess, and we did it to ourselves.

>How will we able to heat our homes?

Don't worry Canadian-bro. Texas has you covered. An alarming amount of the natural gas produced in the Permian Basin is flared or manages to sneak out of leaky fittings and tanks as fugitive emissions. We put off building out the infrastructure necessary to capture and use this resource because it was expensive to build and natural gas prices were low. Since our state government would never make a corporation or an industry self-fund anything expensive, there was never any money in the budget to build it.

We're doing the easy work of pumping the whole atmosphere full of methane so that everyone can stay warm, even our friendly neighborhood Canadians.

One would hope so. When I worked for Bank of America, as a lowly computer programmer I was required to make all of my investment information available to the compliance office as well as all of my wife's. In practical terms it meant moving my IRAs from Schwab to Fidelity, but it was still inconvenient (and cost me about $100 in fees for which I wasn't reimbursed). I would expect much stricter controls on people with this level of influence.

Oh, I know. But I have realized this war cannot be won for the right reasons. The vast majority of people not only have zero concern for animals we use for food, they will actively fight cultured meat and stuff like that for years and years. The war hasn't even begun!

I believe things will change due to economics. Expecting the great masses to "do the right thing" is not going to work because not everyone shares your values on this topic. Price, quality and availability is what is going to drive change for some animal species.

> The media and the government is lying and being deceitful to the public in order to push an agenda.

Governments have no interest in keeping COVID around. Politicians who have allowed COVID to run rampant have watched their popularity levels suffer as a result, some have been booted out of office over it. So what's this coordinated global "agenda" that transcends country and political party?

You're pressing others on being vague yet speak vaguely of this "agenda" and offer no specifics.
A problem with asking stupid questions is that if the person you're asking is not smart, you're gonna get stupid answers. Sometimes you have to ask it in a "smart way", or you'll be sitting there going back and forth for an hour while the other person keeps giving you stupid answers, because they couldn't see why you were asking a stupid question.

The opposite also happens. You ask a stupid question, and people try to give you "smart" answers that aren't actually answering your first question, because they assume you're stupid / "doing it wrong".
Exactly. My retirement funds have exactly two securities in them: A stock index fund and a bond index fund.
New ideas - are created by recombination and filtering. Your subconscious generates new recombination, the wider the scope and stranger the combinations - the higher the chances of a miss, but also of discovering a "pass" to a new field.
Now these re-combinations are filtered, again first subconsciously.

If you murdered your childish, playful self in your late youth or give too much about societys evaluation of what society can not even evaluate your idea might never creep into your aware consciousness.

Now for the ugly part. Some of us are, by curse or luck, predisposed to have a more flexible brain when it comes to recombinating ideas, persons, circumstances.

My basic assumption always was, that it is a useful side-effect of watchfulness aka the guardian role aka looking for danger in noise.

This of course can go horribly wrong.
A creatives world is just one frail filter function working away from, writing game of thrones too living in game of thrones in your living room.
I really would love to see the statistics here, to test this.

Any center of creativity should be surrounded by camps of relatives were the filter functions went haywire.

Now for the final touch. There is no recipe. No "cook" this algorithm, dance this dance through your brain and you will turn more creative. If asked for it- the brain will fantasize and invent those recipes. Which will be nice to read, but worthless when attempting to reproduce. The closest one would get is to reproduce the education that shaped shapeable brains into extraordinary creative people.

And if all this works out, you are still just somebody with a (good) idea. Ideas are plenty in the sea and having good ideas does not equal the ability to execute on it.

I would love to have a 9 meter arm made from boneless legs. Thanks.

> The Cal 3 proposal actually made some sense

Not really, even on the scale of “crazy proposals to divide California into multiple states” , of which there have been a couple hundred since it was admitted to the union.

> it would have given the people living there more representation in congress in the form of 4 new senators, as well as more local control

Sure, and Cal58 (each existing county as its own state) would give them 114 new senators, and even more local control, by the same standards. Cal3 retained the main “problem” most recent “split California” proposals aim to fix, the perceived representation problem (particularly in the statewide executive and U.S. Senate) resulting from the deepest red parts of the State (which are on par with some of the deepest red parts of the country) being diluted in a big blue state. Two of the three Cal3 states (NorCal, Cal) would have been solid blue, including the one with the reddest parts of the existing State (Cal), and the other (SoCal) would have (at least, from the political state at the time) been fairly competitive (though also pretty solidly blue, in Presidential terms, if 2016 and 2020 worked out the same way by county.)

It also would have turned a lot of broad issues in the State, which cross the proposed borders, into potential federal issues, reducing local control (and also reducing the possibility of any favorable action in the presence of federal hostility – common given the structural rightward tilt of federal representation [which, while it would help a tiny bit with, it wouldn't neutralize] – or deadlock.)

> You would think that there would be broad support for the proposal considering a lot of people in these large left-leaning states often complain that their vote is not “worth as much” as a vote in a less populated state.

You would think that if you were thinking shallowly about that one complaint, and not the whole host of issues involved in splitting up an existing state.

Code that does

#include <vector>

must compile, so that header must exist (whether it is stored in a file is the implementer’s choice. AFAIK, the standard carefully avoids the use of the term ‘header file’)

Also, I think code that doesn’t do that include must fail to compile when it tries to use std::vector. So, logically, that header must exist.
Yes. Apps that are basically a webview over a site are pretty common.

The C compiler optimizer replaces printf("Hello World!\n") with puts("Hello World!\n") and the implicit return from main() changes from 13 (the return value of printf) to 10 (the return value of puts)
Seems like it ought to new possible to rename std::iter::Iterator to std::iter::OldIterator, add std::iter::NewIterator, and then vary which iterator std::iter::Iterator points to based on edition.

Maybe that would be considered too confusing though.
> In terms of playing host to new variants the biggest risk may be the immunocompromised, who are not able to be vaccinated

The immunocompromised absolutely can be vaccinated, it just might not work as well for them, see: Powell, Colin

The best way to keep these immunocompromised people from becoming infected and playing host to a variant factory is to vaccinate everyone around them, even 19 year olds and elementary students who themselves aren't in as high of a risk category personally. The fact that the vaccine isn't perfect only makes it more essential that everyone is vaccinated - if the vaccine were perfect we might get to herd immunity with 70% of the population vaccinated, but with a less effective vaccine we need even higher numbers to get there. The vaccine hesitant are only dragging out the pandemic further and creating new risks.

Agree, no-code seems to optimize for a large number of people being somewhat effective, but with less control over the output (increasing fragility, rework)

Code is more upfront effort but more control and thus less fragility but more maintainable over time (if done right).

I imagine there are some/many situations where throwing many people at a problem is the “best” way and this would suit that quite well I guess.

Hmm, it seems like the article has addressed most of your points directly.

> It’s like pg believes there is some kind of generic smartness metric that characterizes people, and so you’re either smart, very smart or not smart at all.

> But people can be smart at things and terrible at others. And it’s not that smart people are terrible at things because they aren’t curious about them, it’s just that some tasks require different mindsets. Like I feel generally fairly smart in engineering, but I just can’t seem to learn chess at all.

He addressed this specific point in the "if intelligence/smartness is all that matters" scenario:

"If intelligence is what matters, and also mostly inborn, the natural consequence is a sort of Brave New World fatalism. The best you can do is figure out what sort of work you have an "aptitude" for, so that whatever intelligence you were born with will at least be put to the best use, and then work as hard as you can at it."

He is acknowledging that different people have good intelligence in different things (like engineering vs chess in your example). But he is saying this really shouldn't be the focus at all, because intelligence isn't truly what matters.

> Generating new ideas is an entirely different skill.

It is and he spent most of the article saying that skill can be cultivated (and isn't necessarily about intelligence).

> You should try and have both, and no, one is not more important than the other.

He also stated this as well at the introduction and this was pretty much the point of the essay.

> I mean the whole article feels like the stupid questions we’d ask ourselves when we were kids: would you rather have a 9-meter arm, or a boneless leg?

Not sure I get it or how the essay feels like that question. He isn't saying you can only have one (intelligence) or the other (skill to generate new ideas). He said it's ideal to have both.

We don't have the global resources or time to support mass industrialisation of Africa (1 billion people projected to go to 4 billion by 2100).

Its unclear if that's even possible given that some of these societies face serious issues in terms of equality for women, value of education, fair application of law, systematic corruption and tribalism, etc. Many of these problems are imbued in the religious/cultural bedrock of those places.

Look at what has happened in Afghanistan where after 20 years of Western intervention, the country has reset to its 'default' almost overnight.

We should view the level of development in Europe, NA, East Asia as the exception to the human condition, not the norm.

We need to just skip to the end game: education for women, contraception, abortion, incentives for having zero/one child, no food aid.
Peak oil was communicated as some kind of sudden "running out of oil". We did not run out of oil despite the old oil wells going dry as predicted. We simply made new oil wells. We will not run out of oil but rather run out of energy because getting more oil out of the ground takes more energy than we are able to extract. So this process appears like it's an economic problem. Oil from new oil wells just keeps getting more expensive while alternatives keep getting cheaper.
