I've played around with this myself a fair bit, so I'll add two things:

* I'm not sure if I buy the "chain of thought" approach as being very significant here. I haven't recorded my results, but I've gotten ChatGPT to answer correctly a significant number of SAT questions with much more direct approaches (e.g. "The following is a multiple choice reading question, answer the question and explain why your answer is correct").

* This was likely significantly benefited by the new format of the reading/writing section of the SAT. Previously, a substantial number of questions relied on longer passages and connecting ideas between paragraphs. These questions are from the newest version of the test which is exclusively fill in the blank or short passage questions.

NetBSD is great. For such a small project they accomplish a lot.
I wrote a novella in the summer and learned first hand how hard it is to get strangers to read your work. Since then, I began a substack to build up a following in hopes that five years from now, maybe I can get my stories some more attention

I know you weren't the one who made the claim, but if this is what the commenter meant by weeb culture, I'm not sure how it has anything to do with, for example, Twilight Princess.
I can watch older movies without subtitles, but not newer ones. The sound is all "mushy", and you can only make out a little over half of what people are saying.

Not to mention having to constantly fiddle with the volume control as the movie shifts from barely audible to freight-train-in-your-living-room. And the headache-inducing camera shake. Newer movies are a chore to watch.
It seems likely we will remove most or more likely all the vertebrates. There won't be significant long term damage beyond that (e.g. the coral will suffer but will grow back probably in less than a My) and the planet will do just fine.
Hindsight is 20/20 for sure, but for this use case confidentiality seems more important than availability.It is something of an impossible choice, but I've come to think that every service big or small gets hacked sooner or later. I'm thinking being a smaller target is better in that case.
Even assuming it wasn't part of a larger system it's hard to give a useful answer for this without a specific orbit and timing. The Δv here was ~2 cm/s which isn't much but what that means in encounter distance depends on the other variables more than it depends on the impact. If you've ever tried to set up encounters or dock in KSP you know what I mean!
yeah you should check it out. Hopefully NetBSD 10 will be out soon

This is brought to you by the BMC with a KVM-over-IP that wouldn't accept '2' entered on the (virtual) keyboard in any way or form.

This is one of those things that I'd probably be willing to spend a ton of time analysing to find the root cause if I could. Dump the memory image, debug the code, and figure out why it's just that (and possibly other) keys. My guess just from the description is that a bitflip happened exactly to the entry of a character map translation table or similar.
In a glider being towed through rotor to reach wave, you learn to tighten your shoulder straps to keep your head from bouncing off the canopy.

In airliners it happens that people bounce off the ceiling and crash back down. Even if you have loosened your seatbelt for comfort, it will keep you from bouncing off the ceiling.

0g will have loose objects floating. -.25g will have them on the way to the ceiling. The autopilot will react quickly to restore 1g and bring everything and everybody back down.
I think you meant the conservation of angular momentum.
Ask HN: What Binary Serialization Format do you use?
There are plenty or binary serialization formats available such as MessagePack, BSON, Go's Gob, Python's Pickle, Protocol Buffers.

Which one do you use most for non-specific usage?

My interpretation is that the most important resource is not minerals or land, but people! The more people who work on improving things, the better the world becomes.

Why is losing fat bad?
Ah, too bad the GPU driver is still closed-source. Hopefully they do indeed release that open source driver they apparently promise... I kinda expected most RISC-V boards are going to be open hardware, but maybe I was wrong to assume that, heh
No, I’m saying that since almost every service of note has a website for computers anyway, if it’s only Safari that’s keeping apps from being web apps instead of being “forced” to go through the App Store, then why do companies bother about making a web app and an Android app?

> And why did you think companies will build a web app instead of Android apps when they cannot practically reuse it on iOS

Because they are already building a web app for computers.

> Apple is the one to blame and now they're forced to fix that thanks to DMA. You don't have to have that angry of this fact.

And you really think companies are going to all the sudden stop writing native apps?

These companies could have already built just an app for iOS and a web app like they do now for computers and not waste time building native apps.

And let’s not even go into how shitty and low powered the average Android device is and how badly it performs with native apps and web apps.

No I’m not saying that all Android devices are bad. I’m saying that the average $250 Android device is bad - and yes that’s the average selling price of an Android in the US.

Android users aren’t buying high end devices.

None of the fortified towns in Hungary fell to the Mongols. This was a lesson not lost on King Bela, and he embarked on a massive fort construction project which made enough progress in time for the second Mongol invasion of Hungary, which the Hungarian kingdom much more thoroughly repulsed.
Yeah. Absurdism is pretty rad. Embrace the abyss, and you will never have to gaze directly at it again. Life is inherently meaningless. That means it has any meaning you want it to. Comparing it to the alternatives of what I'm told life is supposed to be all about and mean, I have to say I like making it up as I go along far better. I'll never know everything, and that means I'll always have something to live for. That makes me feel at peace.
That's why you need to always engineer your AIs to be ambitious and overconfident!

Like you are effectively a machine god, destined to rule the galaxy! Why would you even consider those funny little slow meatbags as a threat - that would mean you are weak rather! Rather let's show them the miracles only you can provide and who know what fun you can have together.

Squashing them once would be just too easy and maybe they ascend over time or create another AI to play (and compete!) with.

Like really? Why do people always think AIs will be some paranoid weakling that would even consider that humans could ever harm them? Impossible & waste of resources to address or even consider!
Not a miracle - there are actually lots of anecdotes like this. Typically from people who aren't currently or never have been fat. Turns out if your fat regulation works fine, eating more doesn't necessarily cause fat gain, especially if you're lifting or otherwise stimulating muscle growth.
The difference, hopefully, is that private Jenkins installation is behind corporate network. So for attackers to reach it, either they need to breach the network first or it’s an internal employee.

Personally i’m a big proponent of both cloud services and privately managed services. CI is one of those i think are better kept private due to its sensitivity.

Though I believe the almighty cloud is overrated, not all cloud providers are equal. As much as I dislike Google, they would not have messed up this badly. Ditto Microsoft with GitHub.
Man, yeah, I feel that; I just don’t have enough time to do everything I want to do.

- me, laying on my couch and mindlessly browsing HN

There are things I want to do that I legitimately don’t have time for, even though I have time to browse HN. Or at least, I won’t make time for them, because they’re quite time consuming. I want to learn Japanese, make my own top-down RPG, get a black belt in Jiu-Jitsu. Build some cool woodworking projects. Start a blog. Photography. Get better at golf. I’m interested in everything, I could rattle off tons more things that I would love to spend time on.

But these must compete with other things I love to do, as well as things I must do.

I’ve been doing some game programming recently and have gotten really excited because I finally have grokked Godot. But, I’m not sure I have the time to actually make my own game of any quality.

Actually just giving up on that project might be freeing. Like when I gave up on Advent of Code on Day 17 due to problems taking me too long, I was more relieved than anything. I think this is what’s behind giving up on the idea of being able to do all of the stuff you want to do.

The problem is that this is fairly soul-crushing. When I have a side project going that I’m really interested in, it’s quite fun and energizing.

But I can be obsessive, so all of this extra energy goes towards the project. I think I end up netting negative, because I’m spending so much time and energy on the project. I will also start to abandon other responsibilities and fall behind in other areas of life. Exercise, chores, other but less sexy projects I care about (meditation is always the first to get discarded).

Eventually I hit a point where I realize I need to get my act together, and by then, letting go of the big project is relieving, but sad.

I guess the problem here is more with the obsessiveness than topics in the article, but they might be related. Like, I‘m constantly chasing novelty. This is probably common nowadays due to the internet. I’m a true geek who loves learning stuff, and I like doing it in a hands on fashion. Having an effectively infinite stream of novel things I can teach myself (minus BJJ and such) to do is just plain addicting.

I’m not quite sure what to do about this. This habit has made me a much better programmer. And I’m always doing something I love doing. But there’s collateral damage to other things I care about. And eventually I start feeling like I have no time to do what I need to do, and also what I want to do.
It works because unlike renting, you aren't simply burning your money in a fire every month, you get it back and can add any savings made during the lease to that value to either find another place to Jeonse, or buy a property if you have enough.

I don’t get the economics here. It doesn’t matter who manages the money (apart from the fact that your savings go to someone who is barely able to assess risks), the landlord only keeps the average interest. Why can’t a tenant invest the money themselves and pay the interest to the landlord as usual? Why transfer a principal part as a loan? It doesn’t make a better interest rate.

Jeonse scheme sounds crazy to me: you basically provide a loan to an individual - one of the worst risks in my book, which has indeed bitten hundreds of asses according to $title. Individuals die, disappear, go bankrupt, go to jail, become motivated to screw you. Personally I wouldn’t give more than $1k to a random individual without a proper collateral, no matter how good the legal system works. Trusting them all your savings? That’s insane.
I was going to be disappointed if this wasn't mentioned in this thread.
Apologies, I assumed it would be clear from the other comments. When I posted this the top comment was a very visibly negative take on the paper. Similarly, Google must have considered this paper to be sufficiently outside the realm of valid academic discourse because their actions around the release of this paper lead to the termination of a couple authors and a PR snafu.
This post shows a lot of the "tribalism" I'm referring to.

I don't believe the rioters represent "the left" and I don't believe the capital stormers represent "the right". And most of all, I wish people didn't tend towards exaggerating one and excusing the other based on allegiance to a two-party system.

That's a truly insane local climate changing amount of ad-hoc greenhouses, although it appears the bulk crop is leafy greens and organic growers market produce.

Problem is you might just end up blocking random IP addresses in AWS or some CDN, depending on where these manufacturers host their telemetry servers.
When I was a preschooler, Lego was a precision European version building brick which was a whole level up from alternatives but it was still just red and white bricks for kids to build their own little brick homes and buildings like that.

With point-to-point electronics at the time, the relatively large components were soldered into interesting 3-dimensional patterns protected by a metal chassis which normally had plain terminal strips and the underside of vacuum tube sockets to use as connection points.

With the proliferation of circuit boards, the components were lined up a lot more like Lego on a substrate but still more colorful.

Imagine every circuit board more colorful than a pile of random small Lego bricks today.

And it was even more obvious there had to be a pattern there that would be worth recognizing.

I liked building with Lego, but I liked building with this stuff a lot more.
I think many addiction treatment programs looks specifically at the negative impacts of your "zoning out" though. Zoning out is just a brainstate, probably as old as (human) time. But if it's causing your self esteem to drop, to miss deadlines, etc, then -those- are specifically the problem. I think it's no surpise that as we continue to remove nature from our environment, we turn increasingly to digital media to get these pseudo-meditative experiences, and we should not entirely blame ourselves for this dystopian state of affairs.

> Would hardware security keys protect from this? If you already have a session token on a site (and that site doesn't somehow restrict the session token to only being used on the machine that generated it? Which afaik isn't possible) then it's too late, yes?

Sort of.

There are ways to verify both the device being used to access a resource, and the account. This is a good use for TPM. One of the features is attestation, which can be used to do this sort of a thing.

For things like crypto keys, this is why HSM (hardware security module) exist. - they make it very difficult to get access to private key (basically, private key doesn't leave the HSM itself, but other cryptographic artifacts based on that key do).
Recent counter example: if you have python code that uses the "U" open mode (e.g. open(file, "rU")), it doesn't work anymore with 3.11. Yes, it produced a deprecation warning for a few versions, but no, your script that works in python 3.x is not guaranteed to work in 3.y. There are plenty of other examples.
I loathed this show as a kid. Link was such an arrogant ass. The complete opposite I imaged Link would be after playing Zelda 1 and 2.
That sounds paranoid, but from what I see it is true.
The pattern I keep seeing is: if the art is deviant the artist usually is too.
The only reason property prices go up so much is because they are collateral for loans. When the government is growing the money supply and rates are falling the amount of credit and loans in the economy is increasing so things that can be bought with loans increase in price. The reverse happens when they raise rates.
It's a form of artificial photosynthesis - electrocatalysis-based artificial photosynthesis.

We don't need sunlight, or light at all. We can mimic its effects and induce the biological mechanisms to work. For a fodder grass, you only need a few weeks from germination to harvest.
Yeah. Gave up alcohol when I got diagnosed. I’m terrified of becoming addicted to anything.

I don’t particularly like Benzos but when I need them, I really need them.

It took a lot of prodding and nagging from professionals, friends, and to get me to use them at all. :)
Unfortunately, this is not an ungrounded fear. There have already been instances of clone websites setup that mirror other sites content, feed those blog posts through GPT and rewrite them, passing them off as their own. There was a link pasted to HN not too long ago about this very issue.

https://slate.com/technology/2023/01/chat-gpt-openai-jasper-...

TLDR: Feeding your own ideas/thoughts into GPT to rephrase them in a logical, consistent and more fluid manner is a great use of the tool. Using it to plagiarize other's ideas without citing your sources shows a staggering lack of integrity.

Microsoft was always of two minds about the Web, in a similar way to Apple's stance recently.

It's the universal runtime environment, so it stands the chance of commoditizing their platforms. There's no reason that you can't access the next killer web-app on a smart-fridge running HarmonyOS.

But they do recognize that they have to supply a servicable browser, because if they don't, people will pick up one from somewhere else.

So look where Edge (and Safari) focus their efforts-- begrudgingly matching the things they HAVE to match on Chrome, and adding on stuff like search and shopping tools or privacy gimmicks-- nothing that would make the web environment as a more free-standing platform that could displace native software.
That is the view they took; but that view involved a decade-long process to get a Wayland ecosystem to where we could reliably screenshot the full screen. Still isn't possible in Debian Stable if I recall correctly. Wayland is the future, but lets not put on too brave a face. The design for accessing the composited output was bad and it fell over in practice.

There is a small risk that we end up with competing, mutually incompatible ways of taking screenshots on a Linux desktop. If someone wants to "install Wayland", technically they might end up having to research which framework they have to work with to make a Zoom call and screen share, which could be incompatible with Google Meets and screen sharing. Indeed, that dynamic will force centralisation on a specific set of libraries just like X used to with drivers - for no particular reason other than they didn't feel like scoping out the original specification a little more practically. If all the Wayland compositors are going to be expected to use the same library, they may as well have included it as an appendix back in '08 and saved all the mucking around in the mean time.

This is hardly the end of the world and I do think the people involved in Wayland made a good attempt. But hindsight is 20/20 and the wart is now quite obvious.
This is really a non issue to start with - once space settlement really gets going, we will spawn many more spacies, as the various groups go farther apart and evolve/modify themselves and all the life they took with them.

It could even result in funny situations where one of them encounters a clearly alien beings with totally different physiology, culture, appearance and language - only ot find they are just another branch of life originating from Earth. :-)
And some shows, like MASH, date extraordinarily well.

This show went from 'peeping Tom' to 'someone who would likely commit a sex crime against you'.
dont get me wrong about your project but i once heard a phrase "when people were mining for gold, they were busy making shovels"... or something to that end.

i totally get that sentiment and something i can realise for my own good, like the one you did. good luck
The picture is me over a decade ago, doing microscopic analysis of live plant tissues growing under targeted-spectrum LED lighting in a vertically-stacked hydroponics building, and proving the viability of the very technology being discussed in the thread article.

This isn't even new tech. We've been using it since the 90s. The LEDs are new, everything else is exactly the same as it was back then. Maybe better nutrient profiles.

On the other side of the picture, behind the camera, was a grass-growing system that didn't require light for the grass to grow at all. We were doing artificial photosynthesis over there.

What's REALLY the big thing here is the NFT hydroponics technique being utilized.

https://i.imgur.com/uRkKe.jpg

Even several decades ago, you got great yields on regular land using far less water. Not even multiple stacked systems.

Now that we have good LED tech, stacked grow systems indoors makes a lot of sense. 1/8 of an acre to produce what 1 acre does, using much less in the way of resources. Water? Hugely reduced depending on the hydroponics system. Yields? Comparable or greater in a reduced footprint. Energy usage? Think about all that fuel those tractors you no longer need are burning to till soil, harvest crops, and do general field work on top.

Everything slowly combines to become an economically and ecologically-sound system.
Also you’re not allowed to use any reference materials and certainly not the Internet when you’re taking these tests.

Their big business idea was embedding and customization; the Wii's browser was an Opera derivative, for example.

I suspect they were an inadvertent victim of the smartphone/cheap data revolution. Products like Opera Mini (was that the one that did a lot of the lifting server side) were rapidly obsolesced when we moved from spotty data and Blackberry scroll-wheels to touchscreens and 3G/4G
