I’m less interested in how long it feels in my memories, and more in how long it feels while I’m living it. If it makes any sense, the question is how to cram as much—consciousness, I guess?—as possible, into however many decades I get.
They'd also have to lose people like Nomura and Kitase.
The specific issue here is it's not plain HTML.
That's a false dichotomy. There are plenty of <100KB sites that look good, render instantly, and work very well.
If you have a 2 TB server, which most cloud instances for example are not, that's still 1/4 of your RAM... just for stacks. That can't be an efficient use of RAM.
It’s like an IQ test. I think it’s a good way to probe the “cognition” (if you will) of the model.

Sure, humans would probably differ in how they draw that picture. IQ 150 humans would almost all get the positional relationships correct though, even if the precise interpretation of “above” might differ. The fact that none of the images were correct under any interpretation of the relationships shows something meaningful, namely that this model can’t understand long chains of relationships.
Thinking about self-harm reduces stress
I'm from the U.S., and I was actually raised with a somewhat similar view of food waste. But my parents were born in the 30s. Many of my contemporaries had parents born in the 40s or 50s, and their attitudes were very different.

I was over at a friend's house a few years ago, and she had prepared lunch for her daughter. When her daughter complained she didn't like it, my friend threw the whole plate food in the trash without blinking, and made something else. I asked my friend, and she said the food is so cheap it doesn't matter. And you can't just let your child not eat.

My parents certainly didn't grow up poor. Both of my grandfathers made a good living. I don't know what conclusion to draw, but there seems to have been a huge cultural shift towards food in the post war years.
Can you please not do this here? Three such posts is already too repetitive.
Specifically, this is Enix. Square had a considerably more international outlook and viewpoint, but even a lot of that seems to have been squeezed out since the merger.

You can look at the spun-off/second-party studios to see - from Square Monolith and AlphaDream consistently pushing formal boundaries of the JRPG, vs. from Enix tri-Ace's extremely conservative approach to Star Ocean and... I can't think of any other studios.
Thanks for sharing this story, looks like today it's my turn to forget HN is the place where if you reference something famous or notable, someone in that sphere of influence often has a chance to weigh in!

Me thinking it's cool you told this story aside, The C-141 itself has a bit of a temperamental reputation, I'm not surprised to hear even the one they tapped to play nice with their stratospheric observatory was still grumpy, though that may be my bias being part of the C-130 orbit.
Velocity is real, distance is real, time is how we've decided to describe their relation.

Physically and philosophically, the "idea of time" isn't real. It just helps us describe our reality.
You're using the brake to prevent a slipping tire from taking all of the power. This is a non-issue for any car made in the last decade since traction control is mandatory.
Ask HN: Has anyone had luck with starting an apartment garden?
I live in a 1-bedroom apartment in Seattle and was considering starting a small apartment garden. My goal is to grow maybe 1-2 vegetables that I can use for cooking.

I've seen many guides [1] but I was curious how practical it is to actually pull off. The long-term (maybe overly-ambitious) goal is to automate this process with watering and lighting.

I am really enjoying Canary mail, on macOS/iOS. It's an indie app, but feels super platform native (near Apple experiences), while boasting some nice features like email templates and actually good integrated PGP support (complete with a ProtonMail-style send-secure-emails-as-webpages-to-non-users feature).
Fantastic! That has to be satisfying.
Syncthing, by a mile.

As someone who very much enjoys tinkering with Linux and such, but also likes trying to onboard other people who aren't as techy, Syncthing is such a killer example. It's almost depressing because I want other free and open source stuff to be this good, though I know the economics (and proprietary interference, perhaps?) make that tough.
KICAD reminds me a lot of PICAD which I used when doing my electronics engineering degree.
> humanity has coped with drugs that affect performance for millennia

the tendency to treat disorders with (often life-long) amphetamines and ssris is a relatively recent development. obviously it's your choice to ween or risk it (unless you're restrained in a facility) and it's not bullshit to advise caution generally but especially to anyone seeking "true potential" vs "normal life without suffering"
Visual C++ in the '90s already supported all of those..
Why are there so few local minima, you mean?

I think it’d have to be related to the huge number of dimensions it works on. But I have no idea how I’d even begin to prove that.
In case anyone is curious, the Tuolumne "river was dammed at Don Pedro and Hetch Hetchy to provide water for Central Valley farmers and the city of San Francisco, respectively". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuolumne_River

It appears that one ~half of the Tuolumne is diverted for Central Valley agriculture and one ~sixth is diverted to San Francisco.

To be explicit, water from the Hetch Hetchy reservoir/valley flows to central California agriculture by not being diverted to San Francisco (via the Hetch Hetchy Aqueduct), instead continuing to flow as the Tuolumne river until being dammed by the New Don Pedro Dam, then eventually released by that dam until again hitting the La Grange Dam, from there possibly being diverted into the Turlock Irrigation District main canal.
I think you're missing the big picture.

MIT's best research was 1960-2000. At the end of that period, the endowment was around 1/10th of what it is now. That's a very healthy level of funding. $2M per professor is enough that it doesn't need to worry about money, but that there aren't obscene levels flowing into odd pockets in odd ways.

Once an institution is overcapitalized like that, dynamics change. There's a ton of corruption in 2022-era MIT (and peer institutions), conflicts-of-interest, and the insane level of competition leads to a lot of unethical behavior. There's so much money swishing around that it's tempting to skim off the top. Combine that with the traditional MIT rule-breaking ethic, and you've got trouble.

I would love for MIT to spend 90% of its money, and be back to 2000-era endowment. I would even more love for MIT to expand it's faculty and student bodies 10-fold, and give more people an opportunity to be there.

What I hate is MIT now being brand-obsessed, money-focused, hyper-competitive, and valuing high-impact and high-profit research over high-integrity research.
> async\await, give you concurrency without the need to for the developer to explicitly write lock code.

async\await in no way relieve the developer from needing to worry about locks. If you have shared mutable memory, you have locks. If you aren't considering that, then you've got broken code.

> What makes concurrent programming easier is thread interaction models that make it hard to lock the process.

Yes, the way you do that is by focusing on message passing and immutable data when you can get away with it and, ideally, prebuilt thread safe datastructures when you can't.

What async\await buys is lightweight threading when lightweight threading isn't available. It allows you to have millions of concurrent processes running at the same time. HOWEVER, the cost of this is the "colored function" problem. You HAVE to mark up your code to let the compiler/framework know "this is code that can block and thus needs to be able to give up control and resume". This problem is difficult because you can't simply call an async function from a non-async function. You have to do some wrapping/juggling to make everything play nice.

The reason lightweight threading is nice is because you no longer have the colored function problem. From any reference or context you can say `CompletableFuture.supplyAsync(()->calculateValue())` and have a new concurrent action spawned. If that action does IO or whatever, it doesn't hog a thread, it just yields (like async/await does) and lets another task move forward.

The only reason for async/await is OS threads are expensive and have pretty large negative implications on operating systems.
Ok, but hear me out: what if I don't use any of these, just put ToDo everywhere, and don't waste time thinking in what category the current todo should fall on? Then I book 15 minutes at the end of each day or even week to categorize everything and put into a backlog.
I always thought there was more potential in HTML than gets realized

https://ontology2.com/the-book/html5-the-official-document-l...

but practically it never happens. So we get stuck with languages like markdown, restructured text and various sorts of wiki markup. Just about everybody who gets serious about extracting data from Wikipedia learns the hard way that parsing wikimedia markup is possible to get 90% right with a lot of suffering but if you have a DOM-intelligent HTML parser often you can get 99.95% right with 2 minutes of work parsing the HTML.

(The reason why is that people look at HTML and fix the markup until the HTML looks right, they don't look to see that the markup is conformant to any spec.)

For a long time I've wanted to like Dreamweaver and it didn't seem so bad in 2003 but today I type a few characters into the live view and then I can go on vacation and the characters might have appeared a week later. You'd think every HTML editor that is embedded in HTML was developed by a sadist except that it seems there is a basic conceptual problem that makes WYSIWYG HTML editing completely impractical.
FYI - More often than not, these are very interrelated issues.
If I had a dollar for every proof of concept that I've made that's still in production today serving users I would probably have like 15 dollars.
Funnily enough I was just wondering earlier if shinmera had open-sourced the engine he wrote Kandria with
Some people will be better than me at sales or raising money and my training won't match a seasoned professional.

Managing people is similarly not easy and the negative effects of a bad leader are going to be visible after a long period of time: you mistreat your employees and they all leave after a year.

That said, I agree some people will be able to get good results by themselves and yes, them being invested in the company will make for better decisions.

It's generally great to have a co-founder manager / business.
There are many sides to apple. The CPU architecture side is not the same as software, cloud, or products/apps, it is run very differently. It's almost a different company. The architects and designers I know left because they were tired of Intel forcing crazy product roadmap twists and turns, and demands on their time, seemingly going nowhere. Apple's Mx silicon has been a smashing success, quite a change from Intel's architectural constipation and chain-yanking of their engineers. Most employees at Intel are pigeonholed, and it is rare that an opportunity to break out without having to move cities occurs, and many took it.

No, explicit pointers are not an implementation detail. Nor is knowing when you are on an OS thread in a language where you are likely to integrate with OS functions that depend on what thread you are on. Different languages exist for different purposes requiring them to solve problems in different ways.
I can flip that around and say that a distance is just the movement of something over a measured time. By your original argument, distance doesn't exist.
Even if you use 3rd party apps, Google location services will side step your mocked location. Apps can detect mocked locations, as well.

Pretty sure SafetyNet, or something like it, from Google will also tattle on you if you spoof your location in apps that don't want you using mock locations, preventing you from using mock locations at all with apps.
Even cheap cars have a dedicated powertrain/brake/ABS CAN bus. Separate buses are then interconnected via a gateway.
hyphen usage is on point
It's interesting to look at the actual course content here.

https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/res-tll-008-social-and-ethical-r...

More generally, what does it mean for a model to be "fair"?

LIT Company’s Definition of Fairness (Group Unaware): The company believes that a fair process and, therefore, a fair model, would not account for gender or race at all.

Advocacy Group's Definition (Demographic parity): An advocacy group believes that a model is fair if the distribution of outcomes for each demographic, gender, or other subgroup is the same among those that applied and those that were accepted. For example, in the example above, 30% of the applicants for loan applications come from women. In the demographic parity definition of fairness, this means 30% of the approved loan applications should come from women.

I feel like the course content is somewhat slanted here. It is missing the definition of "fairness" in which you treat race and gender just like any other feature. Many systems work this way in practice - for example car insurance charges you differently by gender, because the statistics for genders are different. Ad-matching by gender and race is a longstanding practice. And any new system that you just train from scratch, by default it will not know to treat gender or race different from anything else.

It is an interesting question, though. The main problems, I think, are practical ones - large enough AI models cannot be "race-blind" because if you remove race as a feature, they will be able to infer it anyways from proxy features. Whereas the only real way to enforce a system achieves the same percentage results for different groups is to add a "quota system" where you explicitly use different thresholds for different groups. So the practical alternatives often become "quota" or "nothing".

That page is not an example of what the post is about: it's written with his Wiki software: https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/dwiki/DWiki
Yeah the boss fights in DX:HR came as a kick in the groin for players who focused on stealth. I'll just note that the Director's cut release revised the boss fights, expanded the arenas and added ways for stealth players to deal with them.

The Director's cut can also be played with commentary which I think was implemented really well.
I love Keyboard Maestro's "Click on Found Image" action. Definitely quick and dirty, but it's great for ad-hoc web page automation when I can't be bothered to knock something up in puppeteer etc.
If you are curious, the game you’ve never heard of is definitely in the realm of “cult classic”.

The Legacy of Kain series is flawed in many ways; its reach exceeds its grasp in every installment, but there is a lot of solid vampire angst in between the places where the budget ran out. When it comes together it’s great IMHO.

Start with Soul Reaver, where you are a vampire who is killed in the opening cinematic, then resurrected as a Double Vampire who eats vampire souls in a dying world while railing against your Inevitable Doomed Destiny. Which, just so you know, is not resolved until Soul Reaver 2. Which IMHO you should play before either of the Kain games if you enjoy Soul Reaver.

These games are goth as fuck. If you do not have an inner goth then it’s probably going to feel like a bunch of pretentious whiny shit. But if you have an inner goth, she will eat this series up. My inner goth is quietly vibrating and squealing at this tiny, vague possibility of more Legacy of Kain.
Efuses are more common and they change the physical structure when written, much like blowing a fuse in your car.

Laser blown fuses are also common.

Peloton for Wealth Growth -- a loss-protected, safe investment account (our "bike") previously unavailable to the masses paired with content & community to help the under-invested & risk-averse achieve their personal wealth goals.

By safe, we mean: low-volatility, proprietary index product that still offers meaningful growth.

We beta-tested the social part. We've applied to YC. We have a global top-5 investment bank partnering to power & provide liquidity for the safer investing.
I too used Dreamweaver in 2003, and let's say that I have a different recollection to you in terms of its performance.
Pyramids are great for the pharaohs.
Wow. When I started reading this comment I thought it was a joke. We're going to keep operating a scientific instrument just for a reality show?

Sofia, like any telescope, is a tool that we use to learn about the universe. It has a cost to keep running, and that cost needs to be weighed against alternative uses for that budget.

The primary benefit of SOFIA over ground-based telescopes is that you avoid a level of interference and distortion from our atmosphere. Space-based telescopes offer the same benefit, with the additional benefit of not subjecting the optics to turbulent air. With the advance of adaptive optics on ground-based telescopes and with private space companies competing to bring the cost of a launch down, there are probably more cost-effective solutions to the problems SOFIA was designed decades ago to solve.
I agree with the message, but some states, the type that ban plastic straws, have made recycling a requirement.

A message not touched on is reducing the amount of plastic that we produce and consume should be a goal, but with attention paid to the secondary effects. For example, if you don’t wrap those peppers in plastic they’ll spoil and that may be worse for the planet than shrink wrap. But what if you cover them in edible wax instead? Whats the footprint of each decision?

Sometimes plastic will win out and other times we are being wasteful. In SE Asia, when you buy a single drink from the convenience store, it comes within a plastic bag, and you always get a straw. A plastic bag and plastic straw for a drink in a plastic bottle.
Apple Rivos Trade Secret Lawsuit
This is a problem in many FAANG like companies. They have no real technical track for "individual contributors"... all paths turn into management roles eventually. Sucks that when companies finally got on board with technical tracks that didn't require switching to management they just did it by making the senior technical spots management spots. So still no real technical tracks.
Evolution/K-9 Mail
Agreed. Gmail is a rampant lagfest whenever I end up using it (I only go to update filters and labels anymore). The HTML site is a lot more responsive and usable IME (though the filter form's length limits need edited in a debugger to fit my queries). With the "plain" HTML frontend filter updates are fast because it's all done directly to the database. With the "fancy" frontend, it seems to be client-side driven and take minutes to "apply and update" any changes.

Even very old cars have a rev limiter based off the RPM that momentarily disables the ignition.
Define "many". I highly doubt that a majority of men have ever paid for sex, let alone having paid for sex while they're in a relationship.

Also, part of the allure of promiscuity is being able to attract/seduce multiple women. Paying for sex eliminates that.

Embracer bought lots of things, not just Deus Ex. Companies acquire IPs in bulk buys all the time that they never do anything with (Gex being a good example).

That said the linked article says that Eidos Montreal is working on a Deus Ex game, so you might be in luck.
I appreciate the correction, you are correct indeed.

That's what I get for reading what feels like 80 aircraft articles in a 2-hour wiki walk, I'm bound to get some details mixed up!
velocity is defined as distance over unit time so I’m not sure how you square that circle
I don't really do caffeine, or any other drug for focus. I'm a poor performer. The deficit for me is not necessarily that I can't pay attention, but rather I don't want to pay attention. I don't see any real reward for working harder and the company has screwed me over a few times in the past. There are a lot of family issues I have to deal with at home. So in some cases I'm being distracted by other responsibilities. In others I'm looking for a distraction so I don't realize just how much I hate my job. Even when I am actually working on work stuff, the bureaucracy eats away at my drive to get stuff done.
"anthropomorphizing ML models" seems like the complete opposite of what AI safety people do.

They often point out that just because you are intelligent, you don't have to seem human. I think they call it the "orthogonality thesis".
