You raise good questions. I'm mixing two different types of models to make a point from two different directions. Each has it's own and different limitations.

Deep Mind Alpha Fold did not get the rules from reading papers. It uses a combination of learned (from being trained on known protein structures) prediction of structure, and iterative application of learned refinement, constrained by physical and chemical rules. So, some of the knowledge required is "programmed in" as you suggest, but most has been learned by the algorithm through training on known structures. My point was that the result is nevertheless a workable effective procedure for predicting protein structures.

The other system that I referred to did learn from reading literature. It is a fundamentally different AI architecture (a variant of transformer architecture for large language models). It has no physical knowledge programmed in.

Have you looked anywhere? Spoken to anyone? Networking is really key to finding good roles imo.

There are a ton of jobs out there you just have to find the right one!
Your in charge, you can delete this profile.
I use code generation all the time to automate programming in C++. I define what I want (the outcome) and the code generator generates the code needed to do it. It works in any language not just Lisp. It IMHO is better to use Lisp style macros. Because the generated code is straightforward C++, making it easy to read for other programmers, without them having to first learn all the macros.
Only thing that is missing that I was hoping for is multi-monitor support. I guess they want to keep this feature locked behind the pro line, but it feel like a limitation for people that don’t need the power, but want to dock it with two large monitor for productivity.
> If anything needs to change it's the teaching of mathematics primarily as a language to describe everyday life more accurately. The question every grade school child asks, "why do I need this", requires an irrefutable answer that doesn't need several years worth of prerequisite knowledge. Then we need to get on with improving our civilization.

This. This right here.

You can tell kids that math is super-important but they're just going to look at all the barely-numerate adults in their lives who seem to be doing just fine without it, and at all the nothing they encounter in their own lives that seems to call for much more than basic arithmetic, and decide you're a liar or some kind of weirdo, like the dude who's super into model trains and keeps telling them how fun it is (yeah, sure buddy, I bet it is)

Reading doesn't need to be sold. It's useful everywhere, constantly, and you don't need to look for uses. It's even very useful for stuff that kids really want to do, like playing video games. You don't do 13 years of it and then find that almost the only part you ever use is the alphabet, and wonder why all those reading nuts wasted so much of your time with it and why some other lunatics are telling you that now you still have to do even more to get a college degree.

For most kids, math needs to be sold to them. And that's not happening.
There's nothing to backup/import. If you have an iPhone, you use your fingerprint or Face ID. If you sell your iPhone and buy an Android, you use your fingerprint or face recognition on that device.
... and just might decide to do so and go on the implied shooting spree, after being capriciously shunned by society. A widespread mental health crisis caused by crushing bureaucracy, extractive economy, and hyperreal media saturation is the real problem underlying mass shootings. But it's apparently much easier to push for the country-scale analog to a padded room rather than coming to terms with why our society is so sick.
In general "passkey breach" events aren't possible.
Sad to see the bump to $1199 though. That $999 base model Macbook Air is the hottest deal on a laptop today. Seems like it's kind of a magic number that can sway people from a Windows machine.
You never measure the potential directly. The potential causes a phase shift between the two paths that the particles can take. Different gauges will produce the same phase shift.

So if you turn the solenoid off, you could fix the gauge by setting the magnetic potential to zero, but you don't have to. You could still add any function whose curl is zero and have a valid magnetic potential. This would not change the observed phase difference. So there's still no preferred gauge. (Some choices of gauge may make the math easier in the same way that some choices of coordinate systems are more natural to the experiment, but any choice of gauge is valid, just as any choice of coordinate system is.)
qemu-user is indeed hopelessly unsuitable for any kind of heavy use. Use anything else. :)

But that doesn't answer the question of "does Rosetta deal with it properly?".

For Blackbird fans, the Intrepid museum in New York (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrepid_Sea,_Air_&_Space_Muse...) has a real one on display; technically it's an A-12, the reconnaissance version. That's in addition to a Concorde, that you go over :) and a space shuttle that you can't :(

Perhaps it was due to the aircraft's larger-than-life reputation, but the real thing was rather smaller and must less striking that I was expecting :(

I might go for it. If it weren't for the keyboard and the odd battery/performance issues with my late 2016MBP I'd be happy with it. When I got it I thought it was too thin, but I got used to it and now the new 14" feels bulky. I loved mag safe, but it's not a must have. I love the 4 USB-C ports, I don't need any other connectors, and I actually enjoy the touch bar.

I'd have to test the keyboard though, the new pro keyboard is awesome so maybe I don't want to miss out on that.
There are over 100 browsers to choose from on iOS as well as on macOS?
8GB gets you better performance, but it gets a lot less software running at the same time. The fact that just running a web browser and vscode already almost fills the entire memory is a disgrace. I love the device, but how little effort they put into optimizing their memory use and swap, makes it less than perfect.

This pushes menu and status bars up into the bezel area at the top of your laptop's lid, leaving more room in the primary 16x10 display area for apps and things.

It's free real estate, why not have menus go up there?
I found a bug once where you could @ any user in a multi-tennant install of confluence. They ignored the report for two years until someone bruteforced a ccomplete list of users and emails from their public facing support site and published it to the ticket.

They then 'fixed' it by suggesting use of an apache reverse proxy with a mod_rewrite rule.
The website says it is for macOS--"Web Push is coming to Safari 16 on macOS Ventura"--and that we should look forward to it on iOS in 2023.

Good point. This is actually something I have not done well. Or at all.

I’ve been pretty much working and operating solo for the past two years, which isn’t great. I also live in Seattle which I have found not very conducive to networking, but perhaps that’s wrong. I’ll start looking around for things that way.
>with the exception of … perhaps ML? I don't know much about it. It's amazing how much you can do with them.

Indeed. Cloud VMs can fill in the needs unmet by the Pi—the amateur ML hacker generally only needs high performance computing resources infrequently enough that renting them on-demand from cloud providers is an extremely economical solution.
> What if I told you 50 years from now society would need to pay an extra $6-8k per year in transportation costs than necessary?

First I'd say I don't know what data you are quoting so this holds essentially no weight with me until then.

Second, I'd happily pay 6-8k not to live in most US cities. I already basically do. I've also never been assualted or come into contact with the urine or feces of a homesless person in my own car. Can't say the same for public transportation. I'd pay more than 8k a year for that to remain true.
Destroying the resale value of your laptop because trashing through a non-replacable SSD is not something I would really appreciate. We don't have(?) official numbers, but consumer SSDs go as low as 150TBW
I would have kept the same hardware forever too, but for some reason my tools seem to take more and more resources every year.

Silly example is gmail, which loaded in 1s on my 2011 MacBook Pro when new, if it load it again today (I just tried) it takes 35 seconds before I can click anything.

Another might be everyone’s favourite software to hate on: Teams.

On my 2011 MacBook Pro: fans squealing, UI of the OS becomes unresponsive, beachballs. But chat/video software of the era was not so heavy.

What annoys me is that this machine is supposedly faster than yours, (i7, 8GB, SATA SSD) but the capability of the machine has been whittled away over time.
I use Quiver.app (macOS only). Here’s the original post about it on HN:

And tourists with rail passes that cover it. When I visited the UK in 2019, I splashed out over $300 for an 8-day pass, because I wanted to be able to treat the entire national system as my personal hop-on-hop-off service. I will definitely recommend that aspect.

The Heathrow Express was one of the worst legs of the system; having just regurgitated my airline breakfast, I was delighted to be sitting in a coach with no air conditioning in August.

I agree that the alternatives are woefully underdocumented. I recall the choice being framed as "well, you can go to the taxi stand, spend 75GBP to go the whole way to the hotel, or use the rail option and spend 20GBP on a taxi from Paddington.

In retrospect, what I should have done is taken the Underground from near Paddington to where I was staying (100 metres from Euston, so I think it involves about 8 train changes within 75m) and saved the difference.
> Have you ever thought, "Why can't everyone just be reasonable and nice?" Seoul is a place where it feels like that came true;

I haven't spent much time in Seoul but that sentence describes by feeling of Japan and Singapore where I have spent > 10 years. I know American's (and Europeans) get defensive about this and try to start pointing out the negatives of both places of which there are plenty but, it's hard to come back to the USA after being away so long and just see how much everyone is only out for themselves, being dicks in one way or another. Some are small (I see people not waiting their turn at the signal and blocking people's who's turn it is), Some less (saw some guy eating a bowl of chicken, pulling the lettuce out and just throwing it on the sidewalk), (Seeing people blaring their stereos to what showoff? not really sure what's up with that one except to show you have power over others by showing you can do something, blair your stereo, and they can't do anything about it), Some awful (all the car break ins and packages stolen and the attitude that it's the victim's fault)
How do such papers even get published? If they intend to keep everything a secret then why even write a paper in the first place?
But why though ? Too much for the GPU ? What if the laptop is closed ?
Yep, that was the example that prompted my suggestion. Special syntax can be hard to search for.
I'm the third owner of my bike, it was a high end road bike in the mid 80s and has been used quite heavily since then by all three owners. The wear parts have of course been replaced in some cases many times, but most of the other non-drive components are original. It was converted to a fixed gear in the late 90s which saved a lot of rim wear, but I just recently had to finally replace the rims. I reused the front hub though, it's probably been rebuilt a dozen times by now.

I don't really track miles so it's hard to estimate but I'm on my sixth set of tires with it and I know the previous owner did at least as much.
I think my counter is that being a parent honestly seems thankless.

It feels like you and I agree that maybe kids aren't for our lives and yet we're pretending its just a wildly rewarding activity like watching movies and not a situation of basically being worried or having to pay for or care for another human for the rest of your natural life.

Even for two people who (I am assuming) do not have kids that feels kind of insincere.

We know its not like watching a movie, or riding a bike or even going to the gym unless the gym costs you ~250k while simultaneously acting like the rude jerk I did when I was a teen.

One of the things that I love about Seoul is the flexible zoning in residential areas that allows folks to use their space as a commercial entity. While having a coffee or barber shop next to a row of homes may seem weird for many folks in the US, I find that it adds a great deal of charm, diversity, and convenience to areas.

That said, one of the biggest criticisms of this approach to zoning in the city is that it leads to a faster pace of gentrification which can price people out of the areas, so it's not all peaches.
Highly recommend the misterfpga, I sold my nt mini noir after getting it, so much better and less half based (for example nt mini noir's jailbreak had Genesis support but no controller remapping making it useless with the 8 bitdo genesis controller).

Also very impressive to see all the work being done on mister cores including things like Amiga, Acorn Archimedes, the first Playstation and Saturn
I think you will be more successful communicating your ideas if you use less obscure language. Assuming of course that you are actually trying to communicate ideas and not just trying to virtue signal intelligence or education by being intentionally obfuscated.

That feels old!

I still have my core2duo system, since approximately 2008 - it still runs great and works perfectly. I am mainly running Linux on it as a "build" server for a project.

I also have a J1900 for the past 10 years or so, running a couple VMs on it - not too performant to run major stuff, but works great. I've used this system as my main machine until 2020 (early covid) and upgraded to something way stronger.
I tried to buy a new car yesterday. The price was exactly MSRP, but there were plenty of ad-ons. That I couldn't remove "if I wanted to buy that car".

In the end, there were about $11k in "extras" and they low balled me on my trade-in vehicle. I ended up walking away.
Personally most of my computers are Ivy Bridge (3rd gen Intel). I do not use anything past that, I do not see any improvements in technology that make it worth upgrading, and there are many annoyances to the new stuff, I don't like USB-C at all. I can still run DOS and Windows XP on a 3rd gen Intel.

I prefer using old 5:4 1280x1024 monitors. I can't stand 16:9 or 16:10. I use three monitors with integrated graphics on an Optiplex. I do not like LED monitors, I prefer CCFL.

My keyboards are PS/2.

The point is all my computer equipment is dirt cheap, and I actually prefer it to the new stuff.

The ATI 4870 is actually kind of a nice GPU.

I have no interest in the M2, however if and when they release the M5 Multitronic Unit, I will definitely have a close look at that one.
Did the Alpine mail reader stop working with Gmail? I switched to self hosting after Google kicked me out of my account with a broken password reset so I haven't had to switch to a different mail reader.
To add to your point, you can rent a gosiwon[1] in Korea for as little as $230/mo. I'm sure these would not even be allowed to exist in any city in the US. The hallways are not ADA compliant. The rooms don't meet some minimum sq.ft. requirement. There are too many occupants per toilet. And so on.

Not to mention you would have NIMBYs block the development of such cheap housing.

The CD-ROM format was a godsend for certain genres of games. RPGs could pack a ton more content into a CD and even games that weren't like that could be made better thanks to the co-processor on the SegaCD.

That is a lame comparison. From what I saw, it doesn't use any of the Atari's advantages. For example, fine scrolling (with redefinable character set), player/missile graphics, display list interrupts (for 256 colors and "altered-perspective scrolling").
I have used 1p for several years now and it works great for e.g. me and my wife, but fails repeatedly for my parents who are just not savvy enough to deal with all the little sharp edges that a password manager can't handle (e.g. over stringent or under stringent password rules, the ability to save in all situations like password reset/update interstitials, etc).

I am hoping that if Passkey becomes mainstream they can finally stop pestering me when they hit an edge case.

I doubted Apple's touchID and FaceID but honestly, without it my parents would be a lot more vulnerable. My hope is that this gets them to strong auth everywhere instead of really weak passwords.
T.Tao's first publication (at least the first one that shows up on MathSciNet) was in 1996, the same year he finished his mathematics PhD. I would say for most people working towards the pure side of mathematics, having over 5 papers before the end of a PhD is not at all typical.
>Dealerships hate carrying extra inventory because it costs money to finance the vehicles until they sell them.

Note that with interest rates having been really low, even negative in real term, an inventory was almost a good investment with relatively good returns (if you could get your hands on it). Now with rising interest rates and falling inflation, the cost of financing might become a burden again.

Highly recommend the newsletter as well. What's smart about FS and this Untools site is these models are compact ideas you can iterate the logic of into some really sophisticated views.

Things like the Ishikawa diagram on Untools are really new worldviews. I bought Edward Tufte's data visualization books back at the turn of the century, and his objection to powerpoint reduced to how the form of a visualization conveys an underlying logic of ideas by virtue of the dimensions it displays and the number of them that were strictly meaningful ("ink to data ratio"). Viz that only displayed one data variable but added a bunch of "chartjunk," like effects and weird shapes, was not informative but essentially just bizarre totalitarian propaganda.

Some of these mental models and decision support tools are multi-variate systems for evaluating pretty much anything, which makes them almost the basis for alternate ideologies about how to evaluate a dynamic or criticize an idea. Sometimes I suspect what we think of as genius is really just a privately developed ideology based on a few evaluation principles like the ones linked on this thread.
Ford leadership seems to really want to move to the Tesla preorder model, but changing this will be extremely difficult.

I think Point0 and Point3 are currently underappreciated. For all the failings of today’s public education, I believe things used to be “worse” as far as rote memorization went.

The problems with rote learning are obvious, and I don’t mean to dismiss them. But I do think the pendulum has swung so far that today, there is excessive and harmful stigma attached to it. Rote learning is a bit of a leap of faith, and it requires trusting that it will be useful in the end (in other words it comes with an upfront cost)… and this is incredibly powerful for taking some academic shortcuts in a limited amount of time.
That’s a fair point. And I guess Apple wouldn’t keep selling them if people weren’t buying.
