> How likely is it this is essentially one or more comments from HN memorised by the neural net, with some synonym usage? How do we know that it’s not just reposting partially disguised sentences written by a human author?

Oh, we know for sure that it is reposting partially disguised sentences written by a human author. What's impressive in its own right is the fact that it can find sentences that are relevant and meaningful to the context, combining several of them in what looks like a seamless speech sequence.

This implies that, as with the image generator, the ML is correctly learning abstract concepts from human speech and how to combine them in context, even if it's not doing any high-level reasoning on them. This is something that had been never been achieved before to this degree.
Honestly the tone of the post and the satirical post matched each other so precisely I think it serves as a useful counterpoint to what was posted. The continuity in tone with a completely different context sheds a new light on how problematic the content of the original post was. This is essentially what satire is for.
Nothing can replace a teacher, much less a good one, but I recently stumbled upon an introduction book on calculus from 1910 (yes last century) that had a really nice way to explain things.

Wouldn't the most effective solution be to reduce the number of things the federal government does? Rich blue states make their choices and keep more of their revenue within state boundaries and residents of red states get to decide if they like their current choices lower (or no) federal subsidy.

Practically speaking (not politically speaking), that seems like a point the left and right should be able to agree on.

What type of mathematics? What level?

I taught myself all of A-level maths and further maths here in the UK from the standard text books at the time (Bostock and Chandler) before I started in the sixth form and then maybe about half of the first year university material before I went. Still better when you have somebody to teach you but not impossible. I did have access to somebody whom I could ask questions but didn't really use that.
I was talking about mines authorization in Peru (environmental blocks) and in China (administrative blocks).

You did not respond to my question. Do you think your argument 'money to nuclear is bad cause it slows down renewables ' is really true? Aren't we close to max production capacity yet? And in this case, why not continue with nuclear instead of building new coal?

You don’t make chips using uranium, at least for now :-)
Because a few discrete OOK lasers in a single frequency aiming at another moving target, while they will have a lot of capacity compared to an rf link, will have a minuscule amount of capacity in Gbps compared to a whole DWDM based, coherent 100GbE+ optical transport system operating on singlemode fiber.

Like, literally, twenty or thirty individual full duplex 400GbE circuits in two strands of fiber, if you have enough money to throw at the problem.

The only way you could approach matching the same capacity on a sat to sat link would be if you had a massive array of 30-40 separate laser tx and corresponding massive array of 30-40 rx receptors on the other side. It's easier to understand if you've seen a DWDM mux and demux in person in a telecom facility.

I'd like to be proven wrong if somebody can do multi Tbps of capacity on a sat to sat laser link, that would be awesome, but the challenges are very high.
And what organisations, pray tell, actually need the money and would be visible to a normal human being in a country that isn't shattered by war? Most of the large charities have disgustingly paid CEO's and I can't be the only one that gets a sour taste in their mouth when I give an amount of money to them and realise this CEO receives 100k-1m in compensation while actual human beings starve in the streets or freeze to death.
Seems like another unbased short sellers conspiracy:

> Ultimately, math doesn’t lie. If we are going to find fraud, the math should add up to at least justify the reason for the fraud. As far as I can tell, and as far as a warranty expert can tell, Tesla’s numbers don’t support the company doing any sort of fraud with this. I cannot find proof of the supposed “widespread” issue of repairs being mislabeled as goodwill. And the only things I can seem to find that are even questionable wouldn’t have a benefit from a safety standpoint, thus not lending credence to the theory that Tesla is avoiding NHTSA scrutiny.

Italian internet is extremely cheap TBH
Four times the price of fully unlimited 4G for a much better connection with more availability than 4G seems fair to me.

If you don't need starlink, then don't get it.

But if you have a cabin in the Italian alps where its either Starlink or else, then 124 / month seems like a much better deal than having no internet at all. Particularly if with those 124 / month then one or more people can live there and work earning multiple thousand euros per month of income (vs zero income living there without Starlink).

I fear it would need something a little bit more complex than just an Arduino on the hardware side. For some options, you could take a look at some recent versions of Facedancer [0] and their HW requirements.

While I remembered the default wrong (because I never used the defaults, and I was too lazy to look for it during writing the comment), it's possible for a script to get a correct block size every time.

There are ways to get block size of a device. Multiply it by 2 to 4 (or more), open it directly, and keep your device busy.

It's going to very much depend on which field you are interested in. The subject is huge. If you want to study statistics or number theory, you're going to be looking at very different skills and knowledge, with only basically high school maths in common.

Do sources still exist for Perl 4 and earlier?

I decided to go looking for when Perl got verbose regex. The oldest thing I can find on perldoc.perl.org or cpan.org is 5.004 (1997), where they were an existing feature.

EDIT: Found 4.036 sources (1993). A quick scan of the man page (troff source!) does not find verbose regular expressions. So it looks like they were introduced very early in the Perl 5 series.

If a Xinjiang “education camp”, where regular people are jailed and tortured, reminds you of Guantanamo, imagine how much more brutal the likes of Chinese Guantanamo would be, places where dissidents, falling political rivals of the current leadership or those deemed the state’s enemies are imprisoned.
The article describes what it takes to getting published; ie, passing an ever increasing number of gatekeepers. Agents, "blurb writers", publishers, reviewers are all professional gatekeepers, organized in a giant, very strict filter.

In a perfect world, gatekeepers should be neutral observers of an external reality, expert cherry pickers who would detect and promote the best; in the real world, they influence and shape reality.

"MFA" is much talked about in the article but never spelled out. It means "Master of Fine Arts" and is like an MBA for aspiring artists -- or, put it another way, a kind of training camp on how to pass the gatekeepers.

In another article [1], the same author discusses whether MFAs have "swallowed literature". Indeed, having all wannabee authors go through the same training can result in uniformization; and worse, it can produce "perfect candidates" who lack substance.

The best writers are inspired by the life they lived and the tragedies and successes they went through. When every novel sounds like a story from the New Yorker, with perfect language, perfect syntax, and perfect, respectable morals, we have a problem.

EDIT: I said it's sickening to see what's going on and i strongly oppose what China is doing in Xinjang, am I really getting downvotes just because I don't like the "Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation"?
> Finland's supplier seems to have been the Russian state-owned uranium outfit Rosatom

"TVO has bought uranium from Canada, Australia and Africa, had it converted to UF6 in Canada and France, and enriched in Russia. Fuel fabrication has been in Germany, Sweden and Spain.

Fortum predecessor company IVOl contracted for a complete fuel supply service from Russia for the Loviisa plant."

(https://www.world-nuclear.org/information-library/country-pr...)

For a bit more numbers, wikipedia has this:
"In 2009, Finland imported nuclear fuel from Sweden (40%), Russia (18%), Germany (2%) and other countries (40%)."

Fortum is those 18%. The Swedish plant is to my knowledge American owned, and from the numbers I have seen, the biggest source of uranium that it processes comes from Niger. Canada, Australia and Kazakstan isn't that far however, each sitting around 20%.
It is ain’t so safe if it swerves into oncoming traffic due to its shitty “fsd feature”.

Cryptocrash: ‘I was arrested for knocking on Luna boss's door'
Up until now Foveros has only allowed chips to be fully stacked on top of each other. With Foveros Direct, supposely coming in Meteor Lake[1], stacked chips might also having connections from elsewhere (via the base/substrate/interposer/eimb). Previously stacked chips had to have their connectivity & power mediated through another chip, but now stacked chips are supposedly going to be able to have some of their own connectivity as well. This should enable much more interesting stacks.

Intel's process technology might have struggled for a while, but Intel has been developing absolutely top notch ways to combine chips together.

It's less a story about multi-chip, but Intel's really been figuring out how to mix and match in other ways too: the E-cores they ship everywhere are finally an Atom good enough for everyone & that do great. I feel like they've had a lot of really good projects.

Not sure how important this is, but it'll be interesting to see if they can make MCM & this all work for really low power. Intel Galileo showed huge promise as a smart device/application-processor chip, many years back. Lakefield (much bigger, more recent, mobile class) had a lot of promise as an ultraportable chip, but wasn't noticeably enough lower power at it's slower speed, but was so promising & so so small footprint (still better than a Snapdragon!). It's hard to picture the chiplet world being good for edge, good for low power: it feels more like a bigger play. But with all the mix & match strategies, & ability to scale up & down pieces, perhaps they'll develop some really good low power designs too.

Nobody has enough asw weapons, and probably can't afford to build enough, quickly enough individual asw missiles, to take out even 15% of starlink. They launched four batches of 53 satellites each just in May and the month hasn't ended yet.

A quote from that second article:

> Faulkner didn’t finish high school, recent research shows Woolf took some classes in the classics and literature but was mostly homeschooled, Dostoevsky had a degree in engineering. Joyce did major in literature, but even he entered medical school (before leaving), and also failed multiple classes in his undergraduate days. Not one of these great writers would now be accepted to any MFA in the country.
Tragedy of the commons explains everything.

Individuals at Google are incentivised to abuse the collective reputation for personal gain.

It always seems that the towering reputation of Google is an unassailable monolith that will never be shaken by any individual. So every individual harms it in their own tiny selfish way, gaining promotions, KPIs, or pay bumps as a reward for their behaviour.

Decades of promoting the selfish, commons-destroying people eventually results in an organisation that has these values entrenched in its upper echelons. At this point, the demise of the enterprise is inevitable, as the commons is destroyed in bigger, more obvious ways, by people now thoroughly empowered to do so, and surrounded by people competing with them for the right to also destroy the commons even more.

Cash reserves and the intangible value of lingering external brand perception can drag this out for a surprisingly long time, but the direction will inevitably continue downwards.

In other words, it is precisely "reputation" that enables this kind of atrocious, value-destroying behaviour and quality erosion.

Companies without reputation are too busy building it, and can't afford even the slightest slip up.
> It's an expensive upfront cost, but once the full constellation is up, they'll have basically full world coverage

This is wrong. Years before they have a full constellation they will already have started needing to replace previously launched satellites. It's not like they just launch them once and they're done and those satellites last forever. Just to maintain a constellation they'll need to be replacing something like 20% every year.

The article mentions WebAssembly as having the same issue as spir-v with structured control flow, but actually in Wasm it is quite a bit better, because you are allowed to break/continue from an arbitrarily nested block.
