Veeery interesting. Attempts I had done to understand the matter of optimizing use for extending battery life did not focus on the maximum charge, more on lower limit, in the discharge.

Now, this rule of "better not bringing the battery near 100%" should of course also be valid for laptops. Any such management option in relevant OS - Penguins, Apples, Fixtures?
I think correlation goes the other way. Fluctuations and crisis in other markets seem imminent, and we really haven't seen much of it yet. This will also further effect crypto. Maybe they can be pushed away for a bit again, but eventually there is actual correction, not going back a year...
I just tried this myself and can't replicate on a 2019 i7 running Big Sur. I wonder if it's related to the number of Wifi networks in range (mine is the only one)... Also, the Apple Maps thing didn't seem to change anything for me, either.

Why's that? There's a significant chance this deal won't close. There's also a chance that the deal will close and Parag will be kept on. And even if it happens and Parag goes, I don't think there's a great business case for just putting everything in amber. Twitter's competitors are moving ahead, so just freezing things will give them extra months of lead that Twitter can ill afford no matter who's owning it.

I think it's somewhere between possible and likely that Parag ran this change by Musk. Who is already on record as wanting high-level changes. So this could be just as easily read as the CEO honoring the board's acceptance and getting started early on the changes. Or it could be both: Something that both the current and future CEO saw as in the bests interest of Twitter.
I don't think you're getting how important the word instant is in this context. An analog clock might be better for decoding an unfamiliar time system. It might be better for teaching children how we count time. It might implicitly contain more information. It might be better in a thousand ways. None of that matters.

For whatever reason I get a faster and more accurate sense of what time it is from a digital watch. I am not alone in this. Therefor the assertion that an analog readout is more instantly meaningful for everyone is wrong.

First time? Any wealth drop has some people operating outside the bounds of their self preservation instincts, other people retain it even under the same cultural pressures and personal financial reality.

I don't really see it as that interesting or sad, I see it as unnecessary.

Some do, some dont. If it was really something more like “all people are susceptible to suicide when numba go down” I’m not sure what I would think, maybe I wouldnt be in this game at all, prioritizing my own self preservation instincts above this particular kind of chase for financial security. Hard for me to say.

My level of empathy comes from not being sure its worth prioritizing self preservation at all. Like, I notice we all are like “suicide, stop that thing” I mostly just see happenstance. Its happenstance I have self preservation instincts and its happenstance others do not.

And then when you add Terra, Luna, Anchor to the mix. Its like, so you were chasing passive income on TikTok and didnt factor in your self preservation instincts? Ok. Cope, or don’t.
Maybe they would like to focus on their newborn, their wife, the new family dynamic - you know: important things - and not some stupid web app - which is what I would assume, since they're on maternity leave in the first place.
I have been impressed with what I've seen in the last six months but it still seems that GPT-3 and similar language models greatest talent is fooling people.

The other day I prompted a language model with "The S-300 missile system is" and got something that was grammatical but mostly wrong: the S-300 missile system was not only capable of shooting down aircraft and missiles (which it is), but it was also good for shooting at other anti-aircraft missile systems, naval ships, tanks, etc.

All the time Google and Bing try to answer my questions directly but frequently the "lights are on and nobody is home" and the answers just don't make sense.

I see the problem is that people look at the output of these things that are (say) 70% correct and in their mind they fill in the other 30%.
I keep a terminal with vim open, almost every time I copy I paste there and recopy. So stupid and annoying.

This is exactly the problematic attitude though. Because all the rhetoric about Bitcoin is about how it should be a better, more permanent, eminently perfect currency vs what we have now. But what we have is people justifying its continued relevance by pointing purely to its features which make it useful for financial speculation.

The rhetoric about crypto futuro-optimism is just a Trojan horse, a ruse, to justify making money off marks.
I blame human greed. People were falling for scams as far back as recorded history, they are falling for them today, and they will continue to do so forever.

The fact that the stock price is roughly halfway between the pre-Musk price and Musk's bid suggests the market expects roughly a 50% chance the deal will actually go through.
Reimagining How Humans Engage with Machines and Data
One can always rely on some commenter on HN assuming that professionals in another industry don't know how to do their job properly and just need some random programmer to tell them how they should actually be doing things.

I happen to live and work near JPL. The astronomers there have none of the qualms you do about this image, because it turns out the professionals working on this image actually took such things you're complaining about into consideration when refining the data. And if you had read the publication accompanying this image, you would have known that.

Also, they weren't just looking for a glowing circle...That's a shockingly ignorant way to characterize their work.
How is that in any way not a scheme? Barring endless minting, market efficiency would guarantee either unlimited funds or the collapse of the currency.
No, it was right the first time. I'm not a crypto bagholder, so I can't sympathize. However, because I can imagine what it's like to be a feckless dipshit I can empathize.
I wonder if taking something with brain growth factors makes you more or less likely to suffer from more serious consequences if you have brain trauma. ie Are you more or less likely to have a serious concussion after hitting your head.

I'm skeptical because we are building black boxes. How do you fix something you can't reason about?

These billion parameter boxes are outside the reach of your everyday developers. In terms of cost of propping up the infrastructure makes them tenable only for megacorps.

Most of us aren't moving goal posts, but are very much skeptic at the things we are being oversold on.

I personally think we are still far away from AGI, and neural networks of any variety are converging on a local optima in the AI design space. I would enjoy "talking" with an AI that doesn't have the contextual memory of a proverbial gold fish.

The real scary thing is that these objectively unprovable systems are plopped into existing systems and more and more in charge of automatic decision making. A corporation's wet dream, if they can absolve themselves of any responsibility "the algorithm can't lie!"
If crypto is a "market" you're already doing it "wrong".
Alaska is overcrowded with all the people who fled the dot.com era.
Wearing a mask doesn't preclude functional facial recognition. There's plenty of data above the mask, and recognition systems are increasingly good at working around mask obstruction.

Also, mask wearing doesn't do anything for other widely applied approaches such as gait analysis, which is fairly common in areas with a national security concern at play, or a lot of money at stake (particular elements of the financial services industry; casinos, etc.).
Just wondering, were there any shootings at your school? Because there was one at my high school, the year before my freshman year. It was extremely disruptive, and many teachers and students carried that trauma for years. Death is just a number, until it's close to you.
I think AI will largely remain an input-output tool. We still need to prepare ourselves for the scenario where for most input-output tasks, AI will be preferable to humans. Science is an interesting field to focus on. There is so much scientific literature for most fields that it is now impossible to keep up with the latest literature. AI will be able to parse literature and generate hypotheses at a much greater scale than any human or team of humans.
I understood the argument that making a pattern matching macro in lisps isn't immediate or the best, but not the general argument that pattern matching couldn't (or is it shouldn't?) be an expression in any language.

Can someone elucidate that?

I don't want to circumvent the ban by creating a new account, it's against the rules, and mods will ban it without considering anything else. I could try convincing the mods, but it'll not be easy.

I did get fast feedback and fresh views on what's lacking, and it was a good learning experience. But if I were to do it again, I'd spent 4x the time to include more functionality and do extensive testing.
Yeah, the captions are in the right arena but fundamentally wrong. In the baseball picture it recognizes the ball, pitcher, and the act of throwing, but calls the action wrong. Its object recognition and pattern matching are excellent, but higher level thinking and self-correction are totally absent.

Which is exactly where GPT, etc., are capping out. Its easier to see the flaws in this one because its more general, so spread out more thinly.

To get to the next step (easy to say from an armchair!), these models need a sense of self and relational categories. Right now a 5-year old can tell a more coherent story than GPT. Not more sophisticated, but it will have a central character and some tracking of emotional states.
OP probably know about this, they're just making a point that this should be default behavior.
"Buffett calls gold an “unproductive” asset, which, as defined in his 2011 letter to shareholders, means “assets that will never produce anything, but that are purchased in the buyer's hope that someone else — who also knows that these assets will be forever unproductive — will pay more for them in the future.”"

Do you love? Do you dance? Do you desire? Do you rage? Do you weep? Do you choose? Every moment of your existence you exert your will on the world.

A denial of will is a denial of humanity. I want nothing of a science that would do such a thing.
That's the main lesson from crypto movement: it's moving with stocks rather than against them. That's not digital gold.
Wow so many nice database-related news recently - feels like database week or something! :)
I feel bad for people losing money, but crypto has not lived up to its potential at all, remains a solution looking for a problem, and is an environmental disaster.

I used to be a huge believer. Brian Armstrong gave me my first Bitcoin in 2011 at District in SOMA. Electricity was included in my rent so I bought 10 video cards and mined for about two years on 5 systems. At a company I founded, I use Bitcoin to pay for food and drinks. According to the Barista, I was the first person to ever pay for coffee with Bitcoin at Coupa Cafe (despite having to stand there and wait 10 minutes while the transaction cleared).

But nothing has come of it. All the years of promises and applications, nothing. Ether DApps, sure, but how much of the modern internet runs on those? I also mined StorJ and Monero for years. Apart from a way of making money and storing value, crypto is useless. Processing fees are way too high to even be considered as a replacement for payments not to mention other barriers such as the ability to integrate with antiquated point of sale systems entirely designed around credit/debit and cash.

So I put all of my holdings into a retirement account and don't worry about the price. But I've given up on crypto and everyone who babbles on endlessly like they know something I don't about how it's going to change the world. So even if Crypto loses its value some, I'm glad because the lack of easy, effortless gains will disappear for a lot of those people and most of these short term hucksters will fade away. I'll gladly exchange crypto's price for less crypto bros. My cost basis is around $150 so I have a long ways to go before I care that much.

Are you certain Elon would torpedo anything? What if it the move he would make as well? Would he still torpedo it? I am not sure how anyone can say with certainty what Elon will or won't do.
You completely miss the point which is:

Politicians can tell the Coastguard what todo, and they don't "only" do what law says....that was the whole point.

>What Salvini did was and still is unlawful.

Yes and? ...i mean who cares, who gives him a slap on the wrist? And why is the coastguard following a unlawful order?...if they just follow law?
I wonder if he'll try to renegotiate the deal at a lower price. Given the entire tech sector has fallen precipitously since the first announcement, it wouldn't surprise me if Twitter's board accepts a haircut and does the deal anyway.
At least on my team at Cloudflare, great Terraform support is a basically required part of any API change. We have an official Terraform provider (https://registry.terraform.io/providers/cloudflare/cloudflar...), and nearly every API feature is provisionable using that provider.
Motivation doesn't matter when the impact is different, even if motivation is the same.

Being blind to race means being blind to acts of racism. It discredits the reality of those who experience race- or gender-based discrimination because the systemic blindness won't acknowledge the differences even exist.

Prejudice still happens even if the aggressors have good motivations or think they're "good" people.
Awesome idea! Thank you for creating and sharing!
Well it definitely makes me feel less bad about the bitcoins I lost back when the price was around $100 :)

> If you found an alien digital clock written in alien language, it would take you forever to figure out anything about it; it would take a while to figure out anything useful even if you knew it was a clock. If you found an alien analog clock, it would be immediately obvious what it was and what it was doing, and you could use it to help you understand the alien digital clock.

I disagree with this. This seems to assume that an alien analog clock would look/function more like our analog clocks than an alien digital clock would look/function like our digital clocks. I'm not sure there's any reason to make that assumption.
> And yet, Russia has usually a higher voter turnout for presidential elections. Yet, Putin approval is at a sky high of 82% while Biden is plummeting at 42%, just the half

The most important mark of a democracy is the ability to get rid of unpopular leaders at the end of their term, as the US did in 2020 and may be doing in 2024.

The mark of a dictatorship, on the other hand, is that they subdue any opposition by any and all means available. When the totalitarianism is total, the leader will get 99% of the votes in elections and a similar reported approval rating. Those who do not support the regime and not already eliminated, are too scared to say so.

Is the twitter deal actually happening? Elon had to get a loan using Tesla stock and if the price of Tesla drops a lot then the whole loan and deal falls apart. I don't know if we know the exact stock price number where it happens, but it's seeming pretty dicey with Tesla continuing to drop in value IMHO.
Yes, that's true of commodities generally. They are worth what people will pay for them; they do not produce cash flows. A pile of copper is not productive either.

The fair criticism, I suppose, is that the "compelling reasons" a person might pay for a pile of copper are much more numerous than for gold (or bitcoin).

But, OK: think of fine art for a moment... it is also an unproductive asset, the value of which depends wholly on what other people feel like paying, since there is no immediately profitable economic activity in which you can engage with a Monet (unlike the pile of copper). Are you therefore calling fine art a pyramid scheme? I think we are watering down the definition into meaninglessness.
You completely ignored the point. Communities exist currently based on various injustices. You can't correct the injustice without having some impact on who's in the community. You've argued that forcing anyone out of a community is a greater injustice than fixing any injustice in how that community operates.

Your philosophy is a weird sort of artificial elevation of the status quo. It's almost like you believe moral good is lack of change and everything should remain constant all the time. I on the other hand believe progress is a good thing, even when it requires some change and even when not all of that change is a-priori beneficial to those affected by it.

Your notions of what constitutes ruinous taxation is laughable since even a 100% LVT is set to the economic rent of the land. This can be expensive but it's certainly not ruinous since by definition the land can actually produce this value.

I could also characterize your position as a weird sort of worship of income tax. I could satirize your weak beliefs in bodily autonomy since you think so highly of the government interfering in labour contracts and taking income. This expression would result in equally damning statements akin to the moral outrage you have produced rather than addressing my argument. But it wouldn't be substantive debate, just like your current low-brow cheap-shots aren't.
This whole thing was like if there was a jQuery bubble back in 2008 or so. jQuery came along and was amazing and useful and enabled a whole bunch of great new ways to do things and made a lot of stuff much easier.

Now imagine it also enabled a huge range of financial adventures which got some people rich and some people poor and caused most normal people to hate jQuery. That would be silly. jQuery is still a useful tool. It's not just for pumping and dumping tokens... It's great for manipulating DOM elements too!

I hope maybe this crash will help people realize that public permissionless distributed databases and the cryptographic primitives that make them secure can, like jQuery, be used to generate new amazing software products that previously could not exist and are not just about get rich quick schemes.

I'm kinda wondering just how long this market can keep burning money away and still keep the prices up. Or take them up again. It would be one thing if these were cheap to run, but they are insanely expensive. And seem to provide little value outside few things.
You can extract dimensionless quantities, but depending on the normalization, the peak will land in different "n" values. E.g., normalize by the enclosing cube (sides of length 2R) versus the enclosed cube. So I don't think there's anything special about the turnover point.
agreed, like others I often resort to using notepad to remove all styling then copy/paste again.
Or the deal is not going to close?
Let's say you are a guy in a basement spending your own money. What is the minimum spend that you see for advertising to be at all effective?

You can remap “paste-and-match-style” to command-v globally, thankfully.
What's your citation for the notion that post-acquisition changes never happen before the deal fully closes? I grant that irreversible structural changes are rare, and cross-company integrations of course can't happen. But here this isn't one company acquiring another, and it's just changing one exec. Maybe you're right, but I've never seen anything showing that.
