Anecdotal datapoint: after discovering this article a long time ago, I adopted the sleeping posture in figure 2.2 (bring it on, insects) for many years. Mattress topper on the floor-- while traveling, only a folded blanket or my jacket. Loved it and never woke up sore, no matter where I slept. Additionally, this article's quirky presentation always made the habit ripe for sharing with others (add in some play-proselytizing and lambasting the "profit-driven motives of Big Bed").

I recommend at least trying out these postures-- they may be useful to you even if only as a means of securing comfort and rest in situations or environments where accommodations may be limited (camping, crashing at a friend's place, sharing a room with friends/family, roaming the post-apocalypse, etc.)

I got IP banned for my comments on HN! .

These subreddits were against the russia-ukraine war and were stating that NATO pushed them.

more fun fact. typing "zelensky Pan" stops all auto-complete in google since people are searching for "zelensky pandora" but "Putin pan" brings out all pandora papers about it even though Zelensky is twice as much in pandora papers as Putin.

Even google has censored all negative news about zelensky in it's autocomplete.
TVL is not a property of the source code.
Fortunately that era is coming to an end. With QUIC (layered on top of UDP) being the basis for HTTP/3, very few networks will outright block QUIC traffic as many have done with UDP.

And my experience with QUIC so far has been delightful — it's everything I've wanted for decades when TCP was too restrictive and UDP too anaemic.
This is a fork of the code. It's not a new deployment.

I think the article doesn't make the right distinction: parallelism is often worth it, concurrency is what causes the headaches. Fork-join is parallelism and generally safe and relatively easy.

Good thoughts, but it is somewhat dependent on the implementation. There are other ways to implement than you describe.

The solution doesn't need to be cookie based, as it can be a browser plugin, as it is tied to the user, and therefore, that gets around a bunch of the cookie issues.

You're taking this from the "ad guy" perspective of this is how advertising works, but what about taking the publisher perspective of "how do I get paid for my content". They likely don't care if the money is coming from an advertiser or consumer. They may in fact prefer the consumer payment model.

I don't think you can even begin with attempting to get 100% coverage. But if you can get adoption on a few larger, more visited sites, or within certain niches with certain individuals who particularly dislike advertising, it could spread from there.

But...is this better than the direct subscription model for the publisher?
The issue is that intermittent sources are really working to subtract the emissions of fossil fuel plants. Generating electricity completely, or even partially from intermittent sources is a totally different ball game.

Put this in practice: Solar costs $5 per watt hour, and comprises 25% of the grid. Fossil fuels cost $10 per watt hour and comprise 100% of the grid. Solar is cheaper than fossil fuels in a zero fuel cost model. But you can't just change the remaining 75% of the grid to solar and save a bunch of money. Solar produces energy in a sine wave (in the short term, there's also weather fluctuations in the longer term). You'd end up with a huge energy surplus at noon, and energy shortages from dusk to dawn.

In this sense the actual price of renewables is heavily dependent on the price of fossil fuels. Because wind and solar are really "gas supplemented by wind and solar". You can't have the latter without the former. Hence why Germany is in such a bind right now.

A recent (and in a lot of cases more useful) trend is showing that programs are incorrect (buggy) rather than correct.

Specifically, there is a recent an analogue of SL, called incorrectness separation logic (ISL) that i designed to prove the presence of bugs, i.e. detect bugs:

https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-53291-8_...

The main advantage of ISL is that it uses under-approximation, unlike original SL which uses over-approximation. That is to say, SL is used to show ALL program behaviours are correct, and in the process of doing so we may over-approximate the set of program behaviours. By contrast, ISL is used to show there are SOME incorrect (buggy) program behaviours.

ISL was implemented in a tool called PulseX at Facebook and shown to be a very scalable approach (comparable with and in some cases better than the state-of-the art Infer tool):

I don’t think it is feasible to block all advertising because companies can raise prices to cover the cost of outbidding such a service and some potential customers have massive lifetime value…

…Amazon AWS comes to mind.
When I took a digital forensics course about ten years ago, the instructor (who'd been in the field since the 80s) said that in the US, if one finds suspected CSAM on a device they're examining for any reason (forensics, tech support, etc.) the only legally-advisable choice is to immediately suspend all work and contact the FBI, because not doing so can be considered a felony.

He also said that even if one does that, it's likely that all of the equipment that was ever connected to the device will be confiscated along with it, and might not be returned for a very long time. I.e. if you run a small forensics shop, have at least two of each piece of hardware in different locations so the confiscation doesn't put you out of business.

So while I feel like Google's reaction was extreme, and they should have unlocked his account after being provided with confirmation by the doctor, I suspect they were just doing their best to comply with US law.
> Your lecture would have been more reasonable if I had not already given a specific example of diversification. Namely the construction of a LNG terminal.

> Here are numbers for you. The Sabine Pass LNG project in Louisiana, USA, was constructed for about $5 billion. Its capacity is almost exactly the same as the Nord Stream 1 pipeline, which was constructed for approximately €15.7 billion. Thus for 1/3 of the cost of the pipeline, Germany could have provided themselves a backup plan for Russian gas, while requiring zero changes from industry and consumers.

LNG isn't even in the ballpark of what would be needed to replace Russian gas in volume. About 40 LNG terminals are currently operational in the EU. Even if you could use their full capacity, it wouldn't be enough to replace Russian gas. And it wouldn't affect prices positively aswell. LNG is only good for preventing actual shortages, not replacing the source. Even if Germany had built 5 LNG terminals in the last decade, it would be a drop in the bucket.

Yes, but NOT for GPUs. Apple Silicon does not support non-Device mappings over Thunderbolt, so eGPUs will never work.
> The issue is very divisive, but I'm glad more and more articles like these are popping up, with some hard numbers that paint a very different picture than "Germany replaced nuclear with coal, madness".

The picture is not all that different sadly. Renewables are intermittent, so renewables without storage or low-carbon baseload (= nuclear) will need fossil fuels.

Germany's policy is to remove as much low-carbon baseload as possible both inside and outside its borders (by pushing anti-nuclear policies). They are doing nothing in storage.

It was basically greenwashing Russian natural gas, combined with typical German attitude of "we are the enlightened us, we know better" that makes it impossible for them to learn from this mistake.
I haven't read the original material, but I really enjoyed the show as well. Though I think I enjoyed American Gods S1 and then lost interest somewhere around S2 or S3, so I'm raising my expectations too much just yet

> Superconductors ferry electricity between Long Island and Manhattan...

WHAT!? Did I sleep for 50 years or is somebody stretching the definition of superconductor?
It's worth noting in such discussions that nuclear is also capable of displacing gas in many of these use-cases. Surplus heat from nuclear reactors can be used for district heating, and dedicated reactors can be used to provide heat for industrial processes.
Even in the past, most people who had the courage to open up their laptops, would do minor repairs like replacing/upgrading RAM, HDD, etc.
The argument seems very poorly reasoned to me.

> First, he conflates the ability to generate human-like text with the ability to communicate.

This is incorrect. In fact, lukev does the opposite. That is one of the fundamental parts of his argument -- that those two things are different.

> Second, LukeV claims that GPT-3 is at its weakest when writing about the relationships between a set of concepts. However, this is not necessarily true. GPT-3 may not be able to generate text that is perfectly grammatical or that makes perfect sense, but it is often able to generate text that is nonetheless meaningful and insightful. For example, GPT-3 has been used to generate essays on complex topics such as the philosophy of mind, and these essays have been well-received by readers.

I believe this is the best paragraph of the argument, but it is also the most difficult to rebut because it is rather subjective. Whether a text is meaningful or insightful is up the individual reading it. I would be surprised, however, if experts on the philosophy of mind found the essays mentioned by GPT-3 to be meaningful or insightful -- as opposed to regurgitations of concepts that are in the texts that have been fed to GPT-3's model.

> Third, LukeV argues that the world does not need more words, but this is clearly not the case. The world needs more communication...

The presence of more words in the world does not necessarily entail more communication. The two concepts are fairly closely related but are definitely not synonymous.

This doesn't necessarily mean that I agree with lukev, of course. I do think that GPT-3 as it currently exists should not be used to generate text that is meant for human consumption without being edited first. I can certainly see how it would be useful as a tool for generating an outline of an essay, especially with well-crafted prompts.

I am of course open to more arguments and data on the subject =)

You're absolutely right. For 'old magazines', as per GP, it's probably just fine. I've no idea about how manga would fare.

There's some youtube videos that give a hint of colour reproduction - and yes, both those models are Keleido - and while they're certainly nowhere near print or LED quality, for most of my purposes I reckon they'd be a more than satisfactory replacement, especially given the benefits.

No.
Mine were able to buckle themselves by at 2.5 or so. It’s not that hard. So even having 4 kids under 6, I rarely had to deal with buckling more than one at a time.

Plus IMO 30 seconds is a better estimate than 2-3 minutes unless they are fighting you or somewhere hard to reach. It’s one check buck and two leg buckles.

I will say that installing car seats is an absolute pain of a task.
What an asinine excuse. "It makes sense if it makes sense to you." And "snowflake" wasn't capitalized, so it wasn't a proper name. And even if it were (as it is now, having been fixed after I posted the above complaint), it would be just another douchily obscure headline on HN. If you're too lazy to say WTF you're talking about in a headline, don't burst into tears when you're called out on it. And, oh man, you're not even the OP... even more pathetic.

It's depressing to see insecure infants infecting HN with Reddit-style tantrums just because somebody said something mildly critical. If you're too gutless to demand better, at least STFU when others do.

This case refers to alleged lawbreaking that may have occurred, and is fairly easy for people to morally reason about (CSAM), were it proved to be true.

As someone who owns multiple label makers and organizes my utensils by type when I put them into the dishwasher I really like Mypy. Cool writeup, good points. I think a lot of people (ML scientist people especially) who haven't been forced to use a type checker don't realize the productivity benefits of having a type checker running on your whole codebase - they only see the annoying slow-down of having to do things a particular way and having the type checker bug you for inconspicuous errors.

Example: One pattern (which I don't think a lot of people are familiar with?) that I started adopting recently is the use of `Literal` for type-checking strings. For example, instead of something like

(on closer reading I realized this was in the blog post as well, but I suspect maybe some ML people will have seen this specific case before)

class ActivationType(enum.Enum):
sigmoid = "sigmoid"
tanh = "tanh"

def get_activation(key: str | ActivationType) -> nn.Module:
key = ActivationType[key]
if key == ActivationType.sigmoid:
return nn.Sigmoid()
if key == ActivationType.tanh:
return nn.Tanh()
raise KeyError(key)

you can do something like this instead:

from typing import Literal

ActivationType = Literal["sigmoid", "tanh"]

def get_activation(key: ActivationType) -> nn.Module:
if key == "sigmoid":
return nn.Sigmoid()
if key == "tanh":
return nn.Tanh()
raise KeyError(key)

The advantage is that you can do something like

act = get_activation("tahn")

and Mypy will show an error for your typo (instead of having to run your code and eventually hit the `KeyError`). So if you're just trying to quickly implement an idea, you don't have to kill brain cells searching for typos.

Of course, doesn't make a difference if your coworkers all use Vim and Emacs with no extensions...
It is an interesting point [the hope that values will adapt to reflect typical mischievous patterns of social dynamics within various clusters].. I used to marvel during the dotcom era at the salivating delight of "the internet never forgets" of college students caught smoking a bong and the subsequent impact on their career (virtue signalling?).. I saw hope that society could then adapt about ridiculous FUD biases. There is a strange relationship of scarcity & opportunity and these windows into souls painting a distorted picture of the darker side of our ambitions. It is a cancer. Also, humans are always testing boundary conditions - curiosity, discontent, security,insecurity. Some inherent desperation of people jockeying for the next path from frying pan to fire in the search for greener pasture breeds opportunism that seems certain to favor desperation and negativity.

It has always seemed natural (to me) to be able to directly feel what other people are feeling. Most people can. Sometimes, however, it can feel shocking when I realize I’m talking to someone who doesn’t feel what I’m feeling. Or, that doesn’t feel that I’m feeling what they are feeling.

Too bad that most stdlibs outscope it to third parties. Wildcard periods are essential for some applications (even as simple as a periodic reminder) and also are hard to do correctly. I’d say a period is actually more important than a date, because we mostly work with periods, and our “datetimes” are just integer coordinates of pixels of time, so to say.
Sorry “call” is still correct in all the cases you mentioned, at least colloquially in the US.
"but unless we can have truly objective AI, I don't think we will be absent of these types of problems."

You don't need "objective AI." In this case, you just need a process that goes to a human when it is contested. Sure, make the user pay a certain amount of money to get an investigation by a third party or to have all the information provided to a court. But if Google made a mistake, and that mistake caused tort, Google is going to have to pay out.

The appropriate thing to happen here is something along these lines:

Google's AI tells the person their account is cancelled, but they can contest it for $100. The person contests it, and a human is put on the case and investigates. That person determines that Google made a mistake, and Google will restore the account quickly, and pay the person $200 for the hassle.

13.0 is not just a marketing number. It is the number stamped in the binaries produced with the Ventura SDK. It is the number in Ventura SystemVersion.plist. It is number used in the availability markup in the headers provided by the Ventura SDK. It is the number you use for runtime version checks when you use `#available` in Swift or `@available` in Objective-C. You will not find 10.18 in any of those build or runtime contexts (or anywhere else) because it is not the version number of macOS Ventura.
