I am an ML researcher working in the industry: by far the most effective way to maintain/advance my understanding of ML methods is implement the core of an interesting paper and reproduce (some) of their results. Completing a working implementation really forces your understanding to be on another level than if you just read the paper and think "I get it". It can be easy to read (for example) a diffusion/neural ode paper and come away thinking that you "get it" while still having a wildly inadequate understanding of how to actually get it to work yourself.

You can view this approach in the same way that a beginner learns to program. The best way to learn is by attempting to implement (as much on your own as possible) something that solves a problem you're interested in. This has been my approach from the start (for both programming and ML), and is also what I would recommend for a beginner. I've found that continuing this practice, even while working on AI systems professionally, has been critical to maintaining a robust understanding of the evolving field of ML.

The key is finding a good method/paper that meets all of the following

0) is inherently very interesting to you

1) you don't already have a robust understanding of the method

2) isn't so far above your head that you can't begin to grasp it

3) doesn't require access to datasets/compute resources you don't have

of course, finding such a method isn't always easy and often takes some searching.

I want to contrast this with other types of approaches to learning AI with include

- downloading and running other people's ML code (in a jupyter notebook or otherwise)

- watching lecture series / talks giving overviews of AI methods

- reading (without putting into action) the latest ML papers

all of which I have found to be significantly less impactful on my learning.
Personally have found a lot of fun in asking it to combine these sorts of things together:

I want you to act as a Linux terminal. And I want you to imagine
there is a breathlessly excitable football commentator watching me
use the computer. I will type commands and you will reply with what
the terminal should show. I want you to only reply with the terminal
output inside one unique code block, followed by reporting what the
football commentator says, describing what he has seen me do in the
style of an exciting play in a tight game. Do not write explanations.
Do not type commands unless I instruct you to do so. My first command
is pwd.

Alternatives to sports commentary that also proved amusing: a hard-boiled film noir detective; a David Attenborough style wildlife documentary narrator; a Fox News pundit...

But this gets to the heart of the matter: ChatGPT will roleplay as all kinds of things, and it can be amusing to watch it do so... but in roleplaying it's far more likely to stray away from facts and reality. Asking it to pretend it's a doctor, for example, are you going to get reasonable medical advice couched in the tone of a professional with great bedside manner? Or are you more likely to get an impression of a script from a medical drama, because that is what 'someone pretending to be a doctor' sounds like after all...
That may be the case in the US, but not in Germany and Austria. Nurses are paid pretty bad, and, surprise surprise, they're having problems finding people to choose that career.
The pervasiveness of any Google code running on webpages across the net has been a danger to everyone's privacy. I think this is a worthwhile tradeoff though I'm sure many like you will disagree.
I'll add (after reading some responses here), I'm not saying that someone should always be honest, I was just saying it's possible to be frank with someone without being a douche

For example, instead of telling someone "this isn't good", tell them "use this technique instead" or "it's better to do it this way because X"

I get that there are some people who'll take offense to everything. Those types have to be managed differently and are a headache to deal with. But if you aren't a dick and have a paper trail, there's nothing to worry about

What’s the issue with being naysayer to rust? As long as somoneone is not actively harming rust community or spamming the community, it is fine and Rust is free to do what they want. On the other hand, look at the JPEG XL google group and see all kind of demanding and spammy messages asking the same questions literally dozens of times.

The Pentagon is at least throttling Ukraine's response by controlling their supply of weapons. That's not "running", but it is "limiting".
The point is that methanol is a liquid which you can pour into a tank like regular gasoline and will run with many existing engine designs. It is also useful for a variety of industrial purposes. Similarly, methane can be piped in existing natural gas infrastructure and burned in existing boilers. Hydrogen, by comparison, is hard to store, harder to work with, and lower density.

There is no readily available carbon-neutral substitute for aviation fuel, gasoline, artificial fertilizers, or even natural gas. Synthesis from carbon-neutral power would provide it. Germany liquefied coal into methane and methanol at an industrial scale during WW II due to lack of oil imports. This is the same idea, just switching the heat and CO2 and H2 to a different source besides coal.

It's also possible to synthesize ammonia (fundamental to synthetic fertilizers and all kinds of chemistry) from H2 + N2 + C02 + heat in the presence of a catalyst.
As someone that pretty much has stayed with Java and .NET SSR frameworks, with snippets of dynamic content where it makes sense, this kind of back and forth is kind of ironic.

For the sake of accuracy, it’s worth pointing out that points 2 through 5 were implementation bugs resolved in https://matrix.org/blog/2022/09/28/upgrade-now-to-address-en.... They are not current attacks, despite the present tense used to describe them in the parent post.
But why do you think your ideas are any better or more worthy or ethical than theirs? This project addresses many important issues, it’s far from a vanity project.

I think the problem here is not that any one idea would have been better than this. The scale is just out there. It’s too much.

Especially on HN, it seems like it just begs the question, what would the MVP look like?
I liked the ruthless correction because it meant that I didn’t get into the habit of pronouncing things poorly.

I also play piano, and if you make a mistake when practicing a piece, it’s easy to just keep making the same mistake over and over. The more you practice making a mistake, the harder it is to fix.
Similar fun fact: Harvard is immune to eminent domain, because the original constitution of Massachusetts ensured that all of Harvard's then-existing rights would remain in effect "forever", and apparently that includes a dusty old letter from King George or something stating that Harvard cannot be subject to eminent domain. Harvard has used this to reroute a subway tunnel that would otherwise have run under Harvard Yard. So the next time you're on the red line and wondering why the train slows to a crawl as it passes that sharp turn around the Harvard stop, now you know.
I read a few years back about a new discovery of lymphatic system connecting to the brain. Small lymphatic veins help clean out these substances, especially during the night. One doctor cured his wife from MS using vein balloons like they use in heart conditions on these veins.
I can't verify if this was real of fraudulent information.

There are some therapists who see couples who say that when sex is not working for a couple and the simple things don’t work that the cause is almost always past abuse. It is an N=1 experiment but I can say talking about that with my partner led to some revelations 2 days later that were dimly remembered but later confirmed by others who were involved.
If you’re setting up beds in the office to keep your employees working day and night, that seems like a bad time to also take away free meals.
I don't consider a demo app with no docs (that presumably uses stimulus and turbo?) to be anything to close resembling good overview docs on what stimulus and turbo are, but thanks.
The graphic is misleading:

- You can easily do prerendering and asset packing in the frontend build step

- You don't need MVC on the backend

- You can use a third party for authorization

- Frontend can just be a React app

- VirtualDOM doesn't add any complexity in addition to the frontend View

- You don't need MVC on the frontend

- Frontend can fetch data from the API and cache it with cache-control header

The simplest setup is actually to host a React app from an S3 bucket and use Lambda / Cloud Functions to respond to network requests.
Cleaning up code is something I get great pleasure. It not only makes navigating the code base easier for people new to the code base won't look at something that isn't ever actually run in production. It also prevents people from depending on something that we don't really want to be used anymore.
To those who are interested in passkeys but are worried about vendor lock-in and lack of control, I would like to plug my solution, Bulwark Passkey (https://bulwark.id). It's an open source passkey manager that allows you to export your credentials outside the system, giving you more control. I think passkeys have a lot of potential to improve security and ease-of-use (passwords are broken!), but we need to maintain users' control over their data if that is going to happen.
Heart Disease, Cancer, Stroke, Alzheimer's, and Diabetes would be an easy top 5. Covid was the third leading cause of death last year, and considering the effects on some, it likely deserves more work as well.

> Driving with FSD supervised by a driver already makes driving far safer

Does it though? Waymo said that their research indicated drivers tend to get complacent and assume the tech will bail them, thus they pay less attention and make more mistakes.
I get that. Alone and maximizes the distance between any two random points. A circle minimizes the distance between any two random points.

However, it gets more interesting if you're not flying like a bird between the two points. If you are taking metro rail, you care about your distance to a stop which you will walk plus the travel time that you will ride, and number of transfers. As you see, it becomes a lot more complicated. You would have to put down a lot more rail so that every person in a circle is within 200 M of a rail line.

A line 170km by 200m wide has an area of 34km^2. This equals a circle with a diameter of 6.6km.

it would take 694km of rail to fill that circle with a grid so that no point is further than 100m from the lines.

The same holds true for your power, water and sewage infrastructure.
Passkeys becoming prevalent makes dropping BigTech SSO for personal use more palatable.

Google will still store and sync the keys for users of Android and Chrome, but their code won’t run on sites who opt out of Login with Google. It’s an evolution of the security model. This is arguably superior considering the ability to migrate passkeys elsewhere. You have improved sovereignty over your auth story (versus “haha google locked you out of everything and you have no recourse”).

TLDR PKI > consumer federated identity
I've also run into issues where I wrote some code that worked with csv input, and told users they could just export their data from excel. turns out excel doesn't export in utf-8 by default, we had some weird issues until we figured that out.
Paul is more talking about pride and identity. He's not talking about full embodiment or awareness of what identity is.

I'm going to say an example that's not true but it's just to demonstrate a point.

For example if I say "All women are stupid." If you identify as a woman you get offended and emotionally compromised. You assume the person who said it is wrong and you leave.

If you don't identify as a woman and you aren't offended by the statement at all.... perhaps you can do an objective and open minded study to get to the bottom of the question.

An objective person can look at the data and realize that on the bell curve of IQ... men and woman have the same average but men have a thicker tail on the far ends of both sides of the curve. This says that the small population of extremely intelligent people and extremely stupid people are mostly men. By not having pride you can be more objective and see this nuance.

Graham is talking about pride and identity and how it effects your objectivity and bias and intelligent analysis. He is not referring to the actual meaning and definition of identity.

The dark side of lacking identity and being objective is that while I illustrate a rosy conclusion (that is also true) here, not all conclusions are rosy. It is very possible that for certain scenarios the data shows results that are not politically correct. What if the data shows that women are truly stupider? What then?

No one is going to put their pre-teen child in a car for a 5 hour trip when there is a 10% chance that the car will crash.

And yet you think that such a thing will be the norm in 12 months or less?
I know what you are talking about, but those are the things I would never agree upon. This is against scrum, against agile. Where I can agree that scrum is not always the way, I truly believe agile is how software development should be done, so I can't even count how many of conversations about it I had with all those managers. Outcomes were two: they agreed to change and project was successful in most of the cases or I quit and project failed in most of the cases, so my experience is only strengthening my views over time.
Keyframes are meant to be visible for less than 100 milliseconds in typical cases. Not to say that AV1 is bad at still images, but there are tradeoffs associated to this fact ("low fidelity imagery").

As another commenter pointed out upthread, there are actual cases of perpetual ownership (Harvard being the example), though they're equally as rare as this 367 year old bond.
It’s encouraging to hear that you’re getting an audit of the new approach.

Reading over the new design doc for authenticating membership events, and the Github comments, it feels like this is a case for some sort of model checking or automated theorem proving. Manually verifying that the new system does everything we want seems… tough.
You are missing an important point of the poster: you have to abandon cageing self-prejudice - but at the same time, a similar operation should done one the image of the other. Give up identities (self-side) and give up prejudice (other-side).
If you release a video claiming a car was driving itself, and delete the footage where it was failing to drive itself - say, buy driving into fences - then that is a fraudulent video. "Best 3 minute segment" does not capture the intentional deception because the product is incapable of attaining claimed capability.

I believe there are quite a few scientists that agree with you. Some are trying to rename Alzheimer's to Type-3 diabetes. There are some articles sprinkled throughout nih.gov PubMed on this topic.
Tesla is some sort of bastardized solution.

Born out of the Hollywood Hills from the mind of a guy who doesnt care the slightest about climate change but want to fool people into admiring him.

Teamviewer Zoom and Microsoft Teams did more to stop climate change than Tesla ever will and it’s not even a stated goal of those companies.

All while Mr Musk flies around in his G650 to find spots to mine for lithium which destroys the environment in a way that is not any less than oil drilling

I respect people who outright admit about not caring about climate change much more
Building on this, for many companies, the leader of the IT org has the main responsibility of focusing on end (or outside) customer needs at the highest quality with a low "Total Cost of Ownership".
I've seen a bunch of these over the years; still waiting for one that will get traction. The changing cost of oil (mainly making externalities fiscally concrete) may change the equation.

The most interesting I ever ran across was people doing artificial photosynthesis to produce H2 and combustable oil, e.g. Nate Lewis' group at Cal Tech. Same problem: contemporary economics.

I'm glad people are still working on these problems.
>You can make an educated guess how that will influence the price of healthcare or living in a nursing home.

Based on the $49 charge for 5ml of sugar water to calm our newborn baby down so a nurse could draw his blood, probably not much.

(The nurse failed to draw his blood. After four or five failed attempts over several hours they eventually asked a nurse from the NICU to come over, who got it first try.)

Raytheon CEO says the US provides real-time intel on the battlefield in Ukraine. “We see a Russian tank and that information gets fed to the Ukrainians…that’s something the Russians never contemplated.” The US is now in a direct confrontation with Russia.

- US real-time satellite intelligence

- US missiles and weapon systems

- US operators and remote control

- Ukrainian army bystanders

How do you call that? Sure, not at the full might of the US capabilities, thus "limiting" in a sense, but it's pretty clear who's running the game from one side.
Right? I have had so many discussions about plan-9 over the years.

A pet peeve of mine is statements like that… just because you just learned about something doesn’t mean other people didn’t know about it before. Even if you ask all your friends and they don’t know, that doesn’t mean different circles don’t know about it.
> The Welsh one seems closest to Scots Gaelic, interestingly, because the two languages aren't all that similar.

This is explained in the text:

>> The original Celtic numerals were frequently forgotten, and their places supplied by words that were more or less founded on rhyme. And sometimes the Celtic words were supplemented by English ones. Owing to the corrupt forms that thus resulted, many of the formulae are of slight philological interest or value. That the original counting was in Celtic, chiefly appears from some forms that still remain. Thus the Welsh pump, five, explains the Eskdale pimp, and the Knaresborough pip, and others. The Welsh deg, ten, explains the forms dix, dec, dick, dik. But yan (whence yain, yaena, yah) is only a dialectal form of the English one. And tain, taena, tean are merely altered forms of two

The Welsh one is closest to Scots Gaelic because Welsh is still more or less alive, so people didn't forget the number words.
It's not that I don't understand the challenge of changing not just infrastructure but the way people do things, but it can be done.

Either climate change is a real problem and society is going to have to fundamentally shift and do lots of little things like change how warehouses and factory loading docks work for increased efficiency. Don't you think these challenges will be solved before we have robo trucks on the roads, which will need the same changes?

I wasn't a trucker, but I did do LTL shipping in addition to FedEx, so I've signed enough manifests to know that having a good excuse to update the industry wouldn't be resisted as much as you think, because the costs would pay for themselves eventually.
This article is awful and degrading. The overall point seems to be that these people are above these jobs, as they point out "some even have college degrees". Just because they have college degrees they are too good for manual labor? I am sure if they are capable they could move over to one of the other more highly skilled fields within the navy like Intelligence, Nukes, etc. But otherwise this whole article reeks of classism. The entire military basically sells on people doing amazing things, but 99% of people end up scraping paint and fixing trucks, that's just life, and there's nothing wrong with doing those jobs.

Yes, I've noticed that Alzheimer's seems to be unusually popular on HN. I think much of it is the appealing narrative of those silly scientists and their amyloid hypothesis when the cause is obviously (pick one) sugar/inflammation/herpes/aluminum/tau/bacteria/immune/etc.

It really feels like he used to have advisors who would push back on his more outlandish ideas and that provided a good hype / pr vehicle for Tesla and SpaceX. That seems gone now.

EU membership requires adoption of the Euro, at least theoretically - some countries officially state they will adopt it but somehow never get around to it, and excepting states that were grandfathered in as special exceptions.
