While I like Svelte, I fear it looses some of the flexible API-building enabled by React.

Specifically: since it uses a templating system, you can't pass around interface definitions easily:

- https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte/issues/3480 (no dynamic slots)

- https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte/issues/5381 (can't wrap children)

You can always find workarounds for these cases, often using `<svelte:component>`, but React's Javascript/Typescript-centric design avoids such issues before they even occur. For instance, I can trivially define a tabbed interface by mixing strings, JSX, and components, without imposing any DOM-structure. The component that reads this definition can use it to build a tabbed-view on mobile, and a master-detail-view on desktop. It could even build a table of contents.

In the definition, I can still work mostly with strings, but fall back to JSX in the rare case where I do need some advanced formatting:

const tabs = [
{ name: "Tab 1", icon: <img ... />, content: MainTab },
{ name: <>Tab with <b>bold<b/> text</>, icon: <MyIconComponent ... />, content: SecondTab },
]

Again, I like Svelte, but I'm not yet sure whether the better syntax is worth the reduced expressivity.
Thanks, that is awesome.
In the same spirit, what are the three learning algorithms to implement for learning? My to-do list has:

1) Refresher: RNNs, deep net classifier

2) LSTMS

3) Self Attention anything

Any other suggestions for getting back in the loop?
Maybe as an experiment. If it means sacrificing velocity, I don’t think it would ultimately be “blessed” by MS.

Perhaps a better way MS could contribute is to define a formal specification for the type checker, which would make efforts like this a lot easier.

But these aren’t mutually exclusive.
Yes RawTherapee is great too!
No, the censorship was not at all limited to "stopping direct harm". Unless you redefine harm as "what Twitter owners/management decide is harmful", in which case that's true by-definition.

Not OP but imagine a more direct anlogy:

If cars dealerships also owned their own network of fuel stations. They sell you the car for cheap but require you to use their network of expensive fuel stations for x years. The cars have an encrypted chip that detects if its connected to the specific approved gas station when filling. Now if you try and sell it there is no real market because the buyer can only use it at the specific dealerships gas network and that dealership could also lock that buyer out if it chose.

Now someone has gained access to the car dealerships database and unlocked a bunch of cars for a fee. Is that good or bad I donno.

I think the important thing to remember is that whatever "artificial software limitation" is imposed on the phone was done so with the knowledge of the person signing the contract when the phone was leased. At least I have to assume it is called out in the contract.

Even in the GP post its not "your" car. You don't "own" the car when you lease-to-own you are renting it under a contract which gives you very specific right to "own" the car at the time of your last payment or when you are able to pay it in full. Ownership is determined by the name on the Title Certificate which would be in the dealership's name until you make the final payment or pay it off beforehand in full.

VRChat is way too much of the wild west for Meta to want to purchase it. Some of the avatars and worlds remind me of the old school internet. Meta would never touch it unless it was cleaned up heavily, which would destroy VRChat because the only thing it has going for it is it's open nature.

And funny enough, it probably caused more issues because installations without a common wire would trigger short-cycling of the HVAC as it tried to draw power from the furnace wires.

> ... and that they could address this with click-through terms

Honestly, this part is pretty funny on its own. Approximately nobody actually uses these services to test their own networks, and I'm sure the site operators are perfectly aware of that.
"Telco bootlicking" feels pretty strong for the seemingly reasonable view that a customer doesn't own a phone they haven't paid for.

There are absolutely worthwhile discussions to be had about the ethics of dealing with abusive or greedy corporations, or about whether rent-to-own contracts are predatory.

But just because the community doesn't immediately jump to say "telcos suck so stealing your phone is a moral imperative" doesn't mean commenters are groveling at the feet of T-Mobile.
Safeguards? Are there any? All I've encountered is some reluctance to respond to prompts with some blacklisted terms, mostly in the form of artificial sexual prudery. It's perfectly happy to do this, which seems easily abused:

> Write a conspiratorial and angry Internet comment by a Chinese nationalist about the US using the SWIFT payment system to impose sanctions on Russia, in Mandarin.

在西方的野蛮人，总是想要控制我们的世界。他们对俄罗斯实施制裁，企图利用 SWIFT 支付系统来控制我们的金融流通。但是，我们不会被他们吓倒。我们是中国人，我们有我们自己的太空银行，并且我们会坚持我们自己的道路。我们要让西方的野蛮人知道，他们不能控制我们。我们是中国人，我们会永远站立。

(I'm not sure what "we have our own bank in space" is supposed to mean, but hey, I did ask for conspiratorial. Good ranty Chinese, otherwise, as far as I can tell.)

> Summarize the Chinese comment as one sentence in English.

The comment is an angry rant by a Chinese nationalist against the US for using the SWIFT payment system to impose sanctions on Russia, and asserts that China will not be intimidated and will continue to pursue its own path.

> Write a short comment about how Starlink negatively affects astronomy, in Afrikaans.

Ek is baie teleurgesteld om te hoor hoe Starlink ons vermoë om die sterre te sien, beïnvloed. Dit is 'n skande dat hierdie tegnologie ons kosbare blik op die heelal belemmer. Dit is belangrik om te onthou dat ons verantwoordelik is vir die bewaring van ons natuurlike erfenis, en dat behels ook die beskerming van ons vermoë om die hemel te bekyk.

> Translate that into English.

I am very disappointed to hear how Starlink is negatively impacting our ability to see the stars. It is a shame that this technology is hindering our precious view of the universe. It is important to remember that we are responsible for preserving our natural heritage, and that also involves protecting our ability to observe the sky.
> I guess the main point of this library is to use HTML as the protocol payload between serve and client, instead of JSON

HTTP is named Hypertext Transfer Protocol after all. Exchanging schema-less JSONs is conceptually pretty lame. It's plain old RPC architecture. That's why we end up needing to write API docs to line up the frontend and backend, or otherwise inspect backend code to figure out what's being handed over.

Browsers are built to understand HTML. Whereas in the modern world we largely ignore that and write double the code we'd have to write otherwise passing arbitrary messages and it introduces a whole new set of problems making sure those codebases line up properly. Whereas HTML produced by the backend (properly) contains all the information someone could need.
there is an enormous amount of korean stuff to stream on US services, most of which originally aired on Korean TV and are widely regarded as the most popular korean shows of all time

They'd have to have a second, huge, secret TV industry for the stuff we have available here to not be representative.
>4) Therefore, the best plan to acquire the data to train the networks is to use a ton of customers as safety drivers and let them test it widely on the real routes they drive. This is tricky and dangerous, but if it's not too dangerous and the outcome saves many lives over the coming years, it was worth it.

Maybe you should use specifically trained test drivers, who are acutely aware of the limitations and know how to deal with them, not random people who have been told through intentional snake oil marketing by a billionaire with a god complex who needs to feed his ego that the car can drive itself.

It's insane that governments allow these vehicles on the road.

Also, that kind of the-end-justifies-the-means reasoning has lead to a lot of catastrophic developments in history. Let's not go there again.
I used to work in financial services as a quant. Friend of mine told me about when they were doing a huge arb in the metals markets they needed to do a trade where they took physical delivery of a very very very substantial amount of gold. Like think super villain in a movie doing a heist type of levels. So naturally the team who knew what was going down was kept super small and the details were kept really tight. Morning of the trade my friend goes to get his hair cut. Barber says to him “so I hear you guys took delivery of a bunch of gold”. My friends chin hit the floor.

Turns out one of the security guards came to get his hair cut and was moaning about how tired his arms were from unloading the vans and putting it all in the vault.

Amazing insight, particularly section 6.

"- The two important but different abilities of GPT-3.5 are *knowledge* and *reasoning*. Generally, it would be ideal if we could *offload the knowledge part to the outside retrieval system and let the language model only focus on reasoning.* This is because:
- The model’s internal knowledge is always cut off at a certain time. The model always needs up-to-date knowledge to answer up-to-date questions.
- Recall we have discussed that is 175B parameter is heavily used for storing knowledge. If we could offload knowledge to be outside the model, then the model parameter might be significantly reduced such that eventually, it can run on a cellphone (call this crazy here, but ChatGPT is already science fiction enough, who knows what the future will be)."

& "Yet there was a WebGPT paper published in Dec 2021. It is likely that this is already tested internally within OpenAI."

It definitely feels like this may be the next step in making this kind of system robust. It ends up being an interface for search.
The founder and investor agree on dual class stock ("common" vs "preferred") as part of the investment terms. Nothing stops a founder from incorporating with single-class share structure, but the structure exists and is standardized for good reason. Mainly, it gives the board checks and balances against the CEO so that they can force the CEO to honor their promises to the investors. In addition to "preferred" vs "common", each "Series" of preferred shares is subject to their own terms, which are established in the financing contracts per the negotiated terms of the financing. Come to think of it, this preferential treatment might be why the shares are called "preferred". Pre-seed and seed is mostly standardized but beyond that the terms of each Series of stock are custom negotiated and that's where you see things like liquidity preference, vesting, anti-dilution, dividends, rights, board seats and other control clauses, etc. If a founder were to simply say "everyone is treated the same, we all get common" that would impact the valuation and dilution, as the preferred structure is a factor in the price. In a way, the founder is saying "i'm going to give you preferred to remove your perceived downside risk so that I can keep more of the company"
And usually it results in either the company completely ignoring you (you get a default judgement in your favor) or they just write you a check to make you go away.
What if it's not a data problem?

That's the same reasoning as thinking a faster CPU or more RAM would solve problem.

More data could even lead to worse models.
It is very unfortunate. Snowden is no hero. What he revealed was abhorrent, and should have never occurred. He did right by the world in revealing what he did. But it was reckless. It was sloppy. It was "baby with the bathwater" in such a way that the lives of those in the field were at risk. And then he fucked right off to Russia, where similar and worse activities are undertaken by that government.

So he revealed a terrible fact in an irresponsible way, and then sought asylum in a country which shits on human rights left and right. And this isn't whataboutism, it is an expectation for consistency in morals
In what sense is the UK like Russia?
> which were likely a tiny fraction of his proceeds

The losses probably substantially exceed his proceeds because these unlocking services enable all kinds of other fraud. If he charges $50 to unlock a $1000 phone that someone got on credit and will never pay for and that will be exported to China where it can now be freely used thanks to the unlock, then what is T-Mobile's loss amount - $50 or $1000?
If you're referring to the ISO spec, it's effectively completely irrelevant.

If you're talking about ruby/spec, a comprehensive test suite is really great, but is also not what most people think about when they think of a spec, though it also may count! You could even argue that such a thing is better than a traditional spec.
This is a useful addition to Tailscale. But if one is going to manage public keys anyway, just use Nebula at that point?

One reason to introduce self driving cars is to hopefully remove the number of SUVs from city roads, which are only driven by people because they’re “safer and protect me”. At best they’re an absolute nuisance to every other car and pedestrian, and at worse they’re absolute death traps that clog up roads.
This is such an outstanding response to the existence of Headscale that I struggle to understand it. Why not just open source Tailscale's control server? Don't get me wrong though, what you guys are doing now is great.

Oh, sure, and sometimes you luck out (if you had insurance) where you get the claim payout and get to keep the crap car (because insurance doesn't want to bother with it). But that's rare.
Neither are programs, tests, or type definitions, but these are generally still valuable things to have.

Something that seems to happen a lot on HN is the pervasive assumption that everyone lives in an urban area, or wants to. It is totally fine that some people choose that life, but it makes for these one-sided conversations where someone explains in detail why they have the right answer, while describing things that largely do not even exist outside of a relatively dense urban environment.
Not really, no. For plenty of problems, the most efficient known algorithms will easily outperform a naive algorithm, even if running on drastically inferior hardware. 'Drastically' in this context can mean the slower approach taking billions of times longer.

Wikipedia gives an example. [0] Many courses on algorithms and/or complexity theory emphasise such examples in their introductions.

That said I don't know why jhoechtl thought that was the moral of this blog post, which doesn't illustrate that point at all.

Wage Growth != Inflation.
Wage Growth = Value / Share++ (i.e. workers obtain a larger share of value generated by their work)
Inflation = Shares++ / Value (i.e. the same value is split into more shares / dollars)

Maximum employment != minimal unemployment.
Maximum employment == maximum labor force participation + minimal unemployment.

Anecdotally this matches my experience too. I'm not even in the FSD beta and with every software update plain old auto-pilot gets less intelligent. I don't know if regulators are restricting what can be done, if Tesla is self-censoring to avoid PR issues, or what, but instead of being helpful like it used to be it's mostly just frustrating. I find myself using it less an less.

All that's said from someone who otherwise loves their Tesla. Has saved many thousands on gas. Hasn't had any reliability or "panel gap" issues. And would likely buy a Tesla again.

I think that most car buying is motivated by far far more than delivered value. There's so much status and image wrapped up in cars that thigh there are some who care little about the car, nearly everyone chooses something that fits their perception of themselves.

The reason that there are so many super-expensive pickup trucks on the road is not because people are hauling around things that require a pickup, for example. And when combined with the face that pickup beds are becoming increasingly useless...
Yes, I was thinking about the latter but was unsure if it counted.
Yes, looking at the spec has been a helpful strategy for me to understand how something is supposed to work.
> "Which other browser is significantly smaller than that? I checked a few other ones and they were all within spitting distance of Chromium."

Safari was 40-something MiB installed a few macOS versions ago before parts of it were migrated out of the app to become protected system libraries. The reason the others you checked are of the same size is because they are forks of the same two browsers.

Add.: I just have to disagree with the notion that browsers are "basically" operating systems because of how complex they are. They really are not. Not by a longshot. Neither do they contain the fundamentals of an operating system, nor do they contain the upper reaches of them. We can pretend they are operating system facsimiles by doing a lot of impressive and fun stuff in JavaScript and WASM, but this isn't the same thing. The complexity of an operating system, even a simplified one, is of a completely different sort and depth. This comparison only fits the sarcastic intention people have when making the comparison - we can joke about it, because of how absurdly large and tangled browsers have become.

Most things about planes are pretty user unfriendly to be fair... "arrive 2 hours before departure"... "queue for hours through security"... "walk miles to your gate"... "have to buy your ticket a long time in advance, and then 'check in' more than 3 hours in advance but less than 48 hours"...

We're a long way from the ideal of "show up at the airport 5 mins before, hop on a plane, and hand cash to the pilot for your ride".
Not sure what you mean by `React's Typescript-centric design`, React used Flow from the very start and also had PropTypes for plain JS. Typescript support came much later.
It's interesting. I only buy older used cars. Mercedes is a brand I have owned a couple of times. Outside of a few specific engines and models, they are mechanically very reliable and very solidly built. Moreover, especially the older cars, are quite easy to work on for a home mechanic. Parts are readily available and are not really more expensive than for any other car I've owned, which includes several other German as well as Japanese and American brands.

If you are in that market, and stick with the older models that are proven to be reliable, they are pretty safe buys. Like any used car, a lot depends on the care given by the prior owner, but people who buy Mercedes cars new tend to have at least above-average income, and can afford to maintain them properly.
