Yes, depopulation of small towns accompanies a lot of this, which means you have isolated seniors and the disadvantaged making up a lot of rural places.

But the economic incentives to leave it all behind for the big city are strong. The internet makes it better, in theory, but there’s an online political divide, too.

If I’m reading this right, this is just a proxy service that uses an existing Ethereum light client to take an ENS domain and get a wallet address back?

So this isn’t really a DNS service in the traditional sense, but rather a way to look up wallet addresses from friendly ENS names?
Make Mad Eliza Work
Now that the original ELIZA code is available (elizagen.org), we should figure out how to make it run. It's in MAD-SLIP. There's an Open Source MAD interpreter (due to ESR: http://www.catb.org/~esr/mad/) and JW published most of SLIP (with the notable exception of YMATCH and ASSMBL -- but these are well documented).

Oh...right, a question: Is there an open source challenges page where where folks could publish problems like this one?
If we asked this question in similar terms just a few years ago we wouldn’t have things like consumer VR and AR.

You absolutely need high refresh rates and frame rates for VR, or else you get motion sick and/or lose immersion.

You’d pretty much always benefit from higher resolution for VR since the pixels are being placed much closer to your eyes and spread across your entire peripheral vision.

VR reduces the resolution your GPU can handle at the same level of performance/fidelity because two separate images are drawn.

The increase in performance in graphics cards is enabling entire industries to exist and accelerating scientific research.

Phones in your pocket are performing on-device ML and AR in ways previously thought impossible. They’re being used to shoot actual movies that are shown in actual theaters.

Low power tech like smartwatches wouldn’t be possible without these breakthroughs because ultimately faster processors also imply low power devices that can actually do decent amounts of computation.

So to answer your question, new use cases have already been unlocked by simply having more processing power to play with. It’s never been the case that all possible use cases are crystal clear before the tech that enables those use cases exists.

If you want to know why Facebook changed their name to Meta, it’s actually because they see a near-future of VR/AR devices getting a lot less clunky to the point where they can offer a seamless virtual social network and/or truly next generation video conferencing where everyone feels like they’re in a room together. While the exercise may appear to be damage control from an arrogant billionaire, I can see the argument and business case for their vision.

The designs are competitive, and they can't get the money to have them manufactured. By the time AMD and NVidia have access to 5nm Apple will be about to move to 3nm. They are going to have a full node of delay for the foreseeable future.

You can't just raise cash magically. I assure you AMD and NVidia were and are doing everything they can to raise as much money as possible and were trying as hard as they could to get capacity. They just couldn't outbid Apple. There is nothing that can be done for them to outbid Apple. They could have a 50% performance advantage and they still will never outbid Apple, because the majority of Apple processors aren't even being sold on performance.

Yes there is lots of money to be made. The issue is that selling processors is very competitive. There will never be enough profit to be made for them to outfinance Apple unless iPhone sales nosedive.
Conversely I feel I wasted my time learning emacs and moved to vim eventually. I also only religiously use a subset of vim functionality which is fulfilled by most of the vi equivalent editors. This turned into a massive advantage for me as I spent most of my career dotting around random Unix and Linux machines doing admin work. Vi derivative is always there and the muscle memory was ready to go.

One of the key things I found though is that I learned to compose tools outside of vi rather than rely on the editor functionality. This was applicable to much larger problem domains than just editing. The Unix philosophy of using lots of small well defined things to solve problems applies to editing text.

I've found that aspartame gives me really bad insomnia. Almost every time this happens I'll go through what I ate that day and it's always something containing aspartame that was not in my normal diet. This is how I learned that those flavor packets that are mixed into water bottles and some zero-calorie flavorings used at coffee shops contain aspartame.

> It’s interesting that Apple’s decision to transition to their own chips was probably lead, at least partly, by the fact they knew the could lock down all this next gen production.

Eh? The vast majority of Apple chips that will be made on this process will go into phones, and Apple has been doing its own phone chips for about a decade. The M1 won't be quite a rounding error, but it won't be far off; they just don't sell that many Macs.
If you are a guy then Social skills are about one thing only:

Accepting failures and low success rates

People who love machine learning belong to the camp of the serial optimisers.

There is hardly something which is more at the opposite end of the spectrum

Also given that we are taking about machine learning let me quote the movie Moneyball

Moneyball of course isn’t about machine learning , but it’s actually about something even more important: how clean are the data being used

In any event at some point Billy Beane portrayed by Brad Pitt says :

“I hate losing…in fact I hate losing more than I love winning”

Well in order to be “good with social skills “ you gotta be the opposite …you gotta love winning much more than you hate losing , so that the few victories will get you excited and propel your spirit through all the rejections .
So you have a 16A fuse/breaker, and a wire that will take 16A. Then you plug in your lamp with a thin wire that can only take 3A. In the UK that's fine, as you have a 3A fuse, the lamp develops a fault and starts pulling 10A, the fuse blows, job done.

Without that fuse though, the wire overheats, and you get a fire.

Looking at the fairly new soldering iron plug next to me, with a 3A fuse that wire does not look anywhere near thick enough to qualify for passing 13A.
You sound like me when I started 20 years ago. You're gonna do fine. Probably better than many other experienced sysadmins, in some respects!
They’re not languishing, they just stopped trying.
It's remarkably difficult to find something as automated at it.

This should be super cheap and ubiquitous tech but apparently it isn't. Most of the other stuff uses electronics and does more but is actually dumber as an overall device.

For example many can set a target duration or target temperature but because they don't take into account the bread temperature they don't defrost as well.
I would say that, on the contrary, police and secret services are the institutions it's most important to keep this out of the hands of.

While private companies are using this data in ways that cause harm quite indirectly (influence, consumerism - societal evils to be sure, but no immediate threat to your life), police and the SS are most likely to cause very active harm with such technologies.
From a UX, perspective, Nielsen Group is a good reference: https://www.nngroup.com/articles/infinite-scrolling/

For your question specifically, the following explain it well I think:

..locating a previously found item on an extremely long page is inefficient, especially if that item is placed many scrolling segments down. It’s much easier for people to remember that the item is on page 3 than it is to gauge where the item is positioned on an extremely long page.
Umm are you blind that a basic recharge to keep phone active costs 100rs per month?

Or that unlimited calling & 1gb per day costs 250 per month? 1.5GB costs 300 per month?

Or are you too high on 10rs per day?

I remember having docomo sim where I had 1 paisa per second calling. I used to have balance like 50rs per 6 months.

Now I gotta pay 100rs per month to keep my secondary sim active and 300 or so per month to have data + unlimited calling
You may like Doom Emacs. It has really really good Vim keybindings. Some people like Spacemacs too, but I found it too bloated and too abstracted (hard to fix when it breaks).

I still find myself reaching for Vim when I want to just write a simple script. Emacs, VS Code, etc. can just be too much sometimes.

> Math notation is the way it is because it's what mathematicians have found useful for the purpose of doing and communicating math.

That's only really a good description for the most well trod areas, where people habe bothered to iterate. I think a more realistic statement would be:

"Math notation is the way it is because some mathematician found it sufficient to do and communicate math, and others found it tolerable enough to not bother to change."

Personally, though, my problem has always been where publications use letters and symbols to mean things that are just "known" in some subfield that isn't directly referenced. It's not a problem for direct back and forth communication during development, true, but it dramatically increases the burden on someone who wants to jump in.
At least it's not up for grabs by the EU as easily there
I would suggest reading Bob Black's The Abolition of Work and Other Essays, which is in the sidebar along with other antiwork books. He is both brilliant and very funny as he cuts through the bullshit around work and other topics. I especially enjoy his essay The Libertarian as Conservative http://www.inspiracy.com/black/abolition/libertarian.html
This isn't a European standard, I believe it originally came from Germany and a lot of other countries followed suite. In these countries the electrical installation boxes are usually circular with a 60mm spacing between mounting screws [1]. Compared to the UK which uses square boxes and US which has rectangular boxes, this is probably because walls in Europe are usually made from masonry (and often concrete) and it's much easier to drill a round hole than a square hole. The boxes themselves are plastic. If you want multiple you can just place multiple single units next to each other, or you can get installation boxes that are multiple units too.

I believe one of the first companies to come out with the idea of mounting them in multiple 'units' was Gira with their "System 55" line. [2] The switch / socket / dimmer / whatever, called an insert, goes into the installation box and usually screws in with at least two screws. The part that is exposed is usually 55mm (hence the name), and a frame fits snugly over the top, covering the screws. It's worth noting that this isn't a standard, and they are not always interchangable between manufacturers - for example the spacing between frame may be slightly different. In my apartment for some reason the electrician decided to use a different manufacturer for some switches, and they often catch on the frame and aren't as smooth to operate. The frame just snaps in place over the top, so often it's tricky to get all the inserts aligned properly for it to fit correctly.

When you buy them from a hardware store you buy the insert and the face plate seperately. There's usually a few different colours to choose from, in my country the hardware stores sell white, ivory and anthracite, but if you go to a specialist electrical retailer they will have more to choose from. For example Busch-Jaeger has over 10 different designs to choose from [3]. Some manufacturers even sell the switch plates - the bit you touch - seperately from the insert. This makes more sense if you think about commercial installations, where you may have different printed symbols on the plates, but behind it's all the same. It's also worth mentioning that the inserts are not just limited to switches or sockets, you can get heating controllers, radios, motion sensors, smart home controllers, etc [4].

I do basically the same. And I wrote some scripts around to auto-fix certain things.

E.g. I can change the bib entry name, put a comment `% alias: old-name` above it, and my auto-fix script will go through my tex files and update them accordingly. This is helpful when I found out later that I had a duplicate entry, or when I just want to rename the bib entry name.

It is sometimes a bit ambiguous when there is an Arxiv version from a different year than the proceedings publication. In that case, I use the proceedings publication, with a reference to Arxiv as well, and I set the year to the proceedings publication.

I have a consistent format for pure Arxiv publications, using misc, and not article as Google Scholar would output it. If I have this inconsistent anywhere, my script would auto-fix this to make it consistent. Or if some entries are missing, it would automatically complete them.

Yes, small changes usually use lowercase delta, e.g. δt. Not to be confused with the derivative symbol dt, nor with the partial derivative symbol ∂t !

Before I continued my maths learning after highschool (ie before UK A-levels) I learnt the Greek alphabet to make it easier to understand maths notations as I could 'voice' (internally) all the funny glyphs adopted from Greek.

At uni I learnt how to properly write an ampersand (for logic classes) and how to write Aleph and Beth (for pure maths, particularly transcendental numbers).

Some professors have a fondness for the more confusing Greek letters (lowercase xi, lowercase eta) ... is it n or eta, epsilon or xi, ...
Optimizing for latency is often counter-intuitive.

Polling as an example may be an effective way to lower latency, e.g. Linux NAPI.

Increasing buffer sizes may also decrease latency because data can be processed in bursts, see buffer starvation. But if data comes in at a higher rate than can be processed, buffers fill up and are horrible for latency.
thanks for the idea.
Re-making these toasters is probably a great idea for a kickstarter.
> Shorten author lists to 10 authors

Normally the Bibtex style would automatically do that for you already, and it is configurable. And it would automatically append "et al" then. The templates of many conferences usually do that for you.
It is typical HN that everyone is talking about Zsh and how it isn't so bad. And you know what, I used it for a while long time ago, and it is great. I even had config I could transport to another machine when I need.

All that can't be compared with fish out of the box, which is why I am using fish, it will be 10 or so years now. When I say use, I mean that, I just use it, I don't spend time learning it's obscure features, creating scripts etc, no, just use it.

I have alias list that I use to make myself productive and it goes along with me to a new machine. Very slim and simple configuration. That and Vim, but that is another story.
There are many terminal web browsers.

I've also seen self-styled NFT experts get confused about that too. One particularly amusing example involved a "senior NFT stragetists" getting upset at people screenshotting themselves doing the right-click-save-as thing some of those ape NFTs, and being very confused after someone explained to them that they only "owned" the token, and not necessarily the image itself.

At least the NFT fad has been entertaining, I suppose.

Incorporating priors from physics into hybrid DNN-blackbox + traditional models makes a lot of sense for these kinds of applications. It also makes sense that regularizing the DNN blackbox to make sure it's "smooth enough" (i.e., ensuring the change in output in relation to the change in input stays below some threshold) helps make these complicated models more stable.

However, I don't quite understand how the authors are encoding "domain invariance" with "a domain adversarially invariant meta-learning algorithm." I'm not sure what that means. If any of the authors are on HN, a more concrete explanation of such "domain invariance encoding" would be greatly appreciated!

Finally, I have to say: The field of deep learning and AI is going to benefit enormously from the involvement of more people with strong backgrounds in physics, specially the theorists who have invested many years or decades of their lives thinking about and figuring out how to model complicated physical systems.

I remember inheriting a RoR v2 based project. Ended up virtualizing the entire server to migrate the damn thing as it was a big pile of dependency mess to port to a newer server stack. On a similar situation with a PHP 4 based codebase, adapting it to work on PHP 5.6 was a few hours work. Done. No other language can beat that. And thanks to a newer (and more open minded) generation of developers, PHP has a long way to go. The launch of the PHP Foundation by Jetbrains, Automattic and others - https://blog.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/2021/11/the-php-foundati... - is also a step towards a better future for PHP.
