> Let's assume you didn't have a pre-existing knowledge of "what are real, reputable journals for scientific research"? (As opposed to being in a "real world" community where that's institutional knowledge, where you would be looking to curate your internet usage instead of trusting the full public one).

I'm not an academic, so I don't actually have much in the way of "institutional knowledge". My understanding of academic publishing is mostly just stuff I've worked out by observing it from the outside, not through actual membership of any of the communities it serves. I'm sure there are (discipline-specific) nuances and complexities that an actual academic would understand to which I am completely oblivious, but it is entirely possible to get a mostly-accurate high-level understanding of that space without having any personal links to any academic community.

For PubMed at least, consider the fact it has a .GOV domain, and the "An official website of the United States government" banner at the top. Sure, anyone can fake that banner, but faking the .GOV is a fair bit harder. I really doubt the US government is going to start hosting databases filled with fake AI-generated research papers. Even if someone hacked a .GOV website and uploaded such a database to it, it surely wouldn't last long; meanwhile, PubMed has been at the exact same web address for the last several years.

Nobody approaches the Internet as a tabula rasa – everyone comes to it with some pre-existing "real world" knowledge. How do I know ".GOV" is reserved for US governmental entities? I was probably first introduced to that fact by a book or magazine article I read in high school, but I've since seen it repeated too many times to individually recall. I remember having a conversation with my brother (a doctor) about PubMed – I didn't learn about it from him, I was the one who introduced the topic into the conversation, but his response confirmed that it is a real thing to which actual medical professionals refer, as opposed to some AI-generated phantasm.
The fun part is that they completely botched an experience that iOS can delivery natively. I built a mini app to extract the HSL stream from a URL and have iOS play it. It usually solves my problems with it: https://arte.vercel.app/

There are several things that I believe have increased my cognitive abilities. If I had to choose one, it would be 1.

1. Keeping learning and applying new things. New skills like new programming languages, new math, new strategy games, new situations in life in general.

2. Teaching. Whether a peer or a junior or anyone. I taught people since very early in life (say 6th standard). I believe this to be a knowledge multiplier.

3. Programming is a superpower that enables you to think in newer ways, solve problems in newer ways. Learned Prolog, Scheme, Haskell, Ruby, C++, Julia, APL- even if I don’t use them in my work/projects. I kept learning newer things- genetic algorithms, ML, non-linear dynamics, game programming, and coded newer things. This is great.

4. Meditation. It made me calmer, helped me make better decisions. More focused in learning, find patterns quicker and more intently. It's an anti-dote to scrollvirus infested world.

5. Exercise. Doing less is fine as long as I do it regularly.

6. Sleep. Always slept 7-9 hours since childhood.

7. I believe even small exposures to newer areas of knowledge increases your intelligence. It doesn't remotely make you an expert in those areas, but it makes you better in your field/s.

8. Art is really important and significant in my life. Performing arts and consuming them- are both great and enable different things in your life. Reading novels had made me more empathetic and exposed me to different worldviews. It has been valuable. When giving a presentation/convincing someone of a view- all the instincts I learned from performing arts kicks in. Some would call me crazy but while writing theorems, this happens, too. Also art is a great escape, using which you can turn off from the real world and heal from pains/unpleasant situations which enables you learn new things. Learning to play a piece on piano/guitar is like solving a programming problem (yourself, not memorize it). Your brain is in fire.

9. Solving problems regularly makes your brain better in the short term. Like solving Codeforces problem or automating a significant something in Factorio. Just like if you want to look in better shape for few hours, 20 push ups achieve this for you; solving 2 codeforces problems each day for 6 days will enable you to be in sharper state for the next two days.

10. Believing yourself as a force of good in the world helps you stay motivated in trying times.

11. Having a close friend/SO helps a lot.

The sooner you realize that cognitive skills are tied to your mental and physical wellbeing, the better.

No one mentioned the UX design of Tiktok?

From what I can recall, TikTok was the first one to let you to swipe to watch/switch videos, so users can easily be stuck on it, no matter the short video's quality is good or bad, interesting or boring. Since one single swipe, you changed to another, the cost is very low for user even the video quality is not good.
> Stop eating carbs, namely because it makes you sleepy and unmotivated. I replaced carbs with tons of fiber and vegetables, like red cabbage, matchstick carrots, and expensive fermented foods.

There's nothing with carbs, just that you may have been eating too many to begin with. Many many vegetables contain carbs. People shouldn't stop eating carbs, but should reflect on their intake and adjust such that they're not consuming too many, particularly simple carbs as its so easy to do.
this. i'm all for little utility scripts like this but it'd be much easier to do with gh

Also, i wouldn't recommend a thing that you have to copy into your repo. Better to just have wrappers like this that live in your personal bin directory and get run from within the folder.

so, to summarize:

1. nifty idea

2. most of the steps are easier via gh

3. don't copy scripts into a dir, to run them. just leave them in your path.
There is no other data in the example. That's the whole point.

If you mean "but in the real world will have way more stories from other sources about other things" sure. But doesn't change anything if you have "all stories printed". The distrubution matters. All or most of them can very well be biased and not reflect reality.

And that's for factual matters. Let's not even go into political matters. Like in 1920s South most newspaper stories would be biased in favor of Jim Crow, few would be against it.
But the scrolling and search for context would happen regardless, and non-technical users are more likely to contribute context into Jira or a GitHub PR than submit Git commits. better than searching through email!
It is generally inadvisable to get within inches of a high speed multi-ton vehicle in the first place.

If something goes wrong with that, a mere helmet can only help so much, as you might expect.

I think we can agree that multi-ton vehicles are not permitted to enter houses. Because of the dearth of such vehicles, the inhabitants feel (relatively) safe, and go about their day helmet-less.

A similar approach has been used in eg. the Netherlands for bicycles. Where needed (& as much as possible, & more and more often) , bicycles are given their own paths, preferably in such a way that no motor vehicles can enter. Since the danger is thus much reduced, bicyclists on those routes also typically go about their day helmet-less.

At least, this is one way to intuit why people in the Netherlands don't normally wear helmets (as often at least: they still do when racing or mountain biking or etc where there is increased risk. Just not for the normal 9-5 commute, which is considered ~safe)

OK, so this might still play out as a win.

- Stability AI pays Getty a fee, which they really should, to some degree/percentage, if they're making money off this.

- But the amount should be for a proper use license, rather than focus on being punitive. Perhaps they work out another kind of deal. This is what the execs figure out together.

- Then they re-train on the entire set, sans watermark, now with the full blessing of Getty, and the resulting Stable Diffusion v3.0 release ends up being mind blowing!
Just a heads up, this is probably fake. Lots of no-name brands advertising ludicrously good price/perf that are really just like 256mb or 4gb flash chips modded to say that they're 16tb or whatever crazy amount advertised, that will just overwrite old data past the actual storage limit.
I work in infra for Energy Sciences network (https://www.es.net/). You can think of us as a highly performant ISP for DoE lab sites including both NNSA + Office of Science.

I worked for Peloton, Pivotal, and few other startups and have to say I love working for ESnet. The entire org is primarily composed of software, network, and systems engineers and the mission is incredibly focused on engineering and sciences. I love not pushing for quarterly profit goals (although we do have our quarterly OKRs), the amazing work life balance (I have yet to work more than 50 hours a week and end up putting in 25-35 solid hours of work in), and not have to worry about being put on PIPs or at mercy to economical forces that are affecting the FANGS.

Yes, the pay is nowhere near the FANGs and the engineering stack is a few years behind but you get back sanity back. I've been able to put more focus on getting my life back after letting myself go during the pandemic and I feel so much better health-wise and mentally.
Yes, but note that this only works in Nightly, Dev, Unbranded and ESR builds, not Beta or Release builds.
What a wonderful read! Reinforced many of my own (not as thoroughly recorded) experiences and reminded me that in creative work, your mind’s wandering can be your greatest threat as well as an asset. Learning to control (or at least work with) the mind is truly tantamount to producing work you can be proud of.

While the value of the £ has rebounded somewhat since a low in September, it is still much below what it was just a couple of years ago. Apple is basing it’s prices in USD and that has hit the £ and the Euro over the last six months or so.

that applies to anything though.

the more marketing it has, the more it has to compensate for (IMO).
>I would hate open-ended questions like that if I didn't know the professor and I didn't know the grading, because it relies on the professor's ability to evaluate what is reasonable justification.

After my first stint in college I took about a decade off before returning for graduate school. I made it a policy to research all of my professors before classes began. If they had a book published, I bought it, and read it. It gave me remarkable insight into all of my professors (at least the ones who had published) before class actually began, and made it much easier to navigate the subjective grading minefield that so often exists.
O believe this is how GPT-Index attempts to bypass prompt length limitations.
gcc's C and C++ parsers are handwritten recursive descent parsers. Years ago, Bison was used, and for C++ a third pass was required between the lexer and the parser to add the needed lookahead to differentiate complex type and function declarations. I didn't say anything about LL(1). The key thing here is that high quality compilers are doing it this way, eschewing parser generation tools.

Thanks for this. Metabolic/stress/lifestyle problems were exactly my story. I had hypertension, anxiety, and was prediabetic. Using low carb and intermittent fasting, I lost 91 pounds, was no longer prediabetic, and went completely off bp meds. Anxiety is managed much better (no meds). My doc was amazed.
> Give me Bluetooth and analog knobs and I'm happy.

Preach it brother!

This is great! I love seeing how rapidly in the past 6 months these ideas are evolving. I've been internally calling these systems "prompt machines". I'm a strong believer that chaining together language model prompts is core to extracting real, and reproducible value from language models. I sometimes even wonder if systems like this are the path to AGI as well, and spent a full month 'stuck' on that hypothesis in October.

Specific to prompt-chaining: I've spent a lot of time ideating about where "prompts live" (are they best as API endpoint, as cli programs, as machines with internal state, treated as a single 'assembly instruction' -- where do "prompts" live naturally) and eventually decided on them being the most synonymous with functions (and api endpoints via the RPC concept)

mental model I've developed (sharing in case it resonates with anyone else)

a "chain" is `a = 'text'; b = p1(a); c = p2(b)` where p1 and p2 are LLM prompts.

What comes next (in my opinion) is other programming constructs: loops, conditionals, variables (memory), etc. (I think LangChain represents some of these concepts as their "areas" -> chain (function chaining), agents (loops), memory (variables))

To offer this code-style interface on top of LLMs, I made something similar to LangChain, but scoped what i made to only focus on the bare functional interface and the concept of a "prompt function", and leave the power of the "execution flow" up to the language interpreter itself (in this case python) so the user can make anything with it.

https://github.com/approximatelabs/lambdaprompt

I've had so much fun recently just playing with prompt chaining in general, it feels like the "new toy" in the AI space (orders of magnitude more fun than dall-e or chat-gpt for me). (I built sketch (posted the other day on HN) based on lambdaprompt)

My favorites have been things to test the inherent behaviors of language models using iterated prompts. I spent some time looking for "fractal" like behavior inside the functions, hoping that if I got the right starting point, an iterated function would avoid fixed points --> this has eluded me so far, so if anyone finds non-fixed points in LLMs, please let me know!

I'm a believer that the "next revolution" in machine-written code and behavior from LLMs will come when someone can tame LLM prompting to self-write prompt chains themselves (whether that is on lambdaprompt, langchain, or something else!)

All in all, I'm super hyped about LangChain, love the space they are in and the rapid attention they are getting~
Amazon got called out on the scam in ReviewGeek. Amazon's response:

"We do not allow product listings to be taken over or incorrect information to be listed, and we have zero tolerance for fake reviews. We have clear policies that prohibit reviews abuse, and we suspend, ban, and take legal action against those who violate these policies and remove inauthentic reviews. The items in question did violate our policies and they have been removed."

In this case Amazon didn't even bother to remove the listing before issuing this truth-challenged rebuttal.

> were there strong, substantive arguments against it that turned out to be false?

No, that's why it was so ridiculous. There was a lot of absurd hysteria that didn't make any sense, yet a lot of conservatives argued very fervently that gay marriage is wrong and legalizing it would be a mistake.

The two main arguments I recall are that it would ruin traditional marriages (despite hearing this a lot, I never heard how it would actually happen) and that it was a slippery slope. The slippery slope arguments were usually along the lines of claiming this would lead to men marrying one animal or another.

Nobody ever hears these arguments now because none of the absurd predictions had any validity and everyone can plainly see that since gay marriage has been legalized.

The window is still a radiator. Or more accurately, will still radiate heat received from a warmer source toward a colder destination.

Heat tends towards dispersal (currently predicted, eventually, to evenly spread in all directions), so it seems wrong to say that the window "attracts" heat. Rather, it just provides lower resistance to heat transfer than the typical wall.
I have the Shinobi as well. It is my keyboard dream come true: I always wished that somebody (ideally not Lenovo) would make an external Thinkpad keyboard with physical switches. And then Tex did exactly that.

Now some laptop project (perhaps Framework?) just has to team up with Tex to make a real ThinkPad alternative.

I think it's eastern tech culture. East tends to assume everyone is interchangeable and not as intelligent, and tries to bring people up via education. Whereas West tends to just hire talent and let them figure it out.

Not everyone here speaks a common language, and if it is, it's almost certainly English. So documentation and communication is greatly simplified, smaller words, and a lot of conversing through code.

Let's compare two mature technologies between east and west, Google Maps vs Huawei Map SDK:

Google map quickstart: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-sdk...

Huawei map: https://developer.huawei.com/consumer/en/doc/development/HMS...

There's subtle differences here, but Google tends to use a lot more English words, and Huawei talks mostly in code.

System analysts are common, who act as living documentation. Basically people who you can always interrupt to ask questions. PM isn't sure if a feature is possible? Ask the analyst. Dev doesn't know the right endpoint or understand how something works? The analyst takes time to explain it to them. They generally don't hold the responsibility of development and during periods of low utilisation, they learn the architecture or do R&D.

In MMOs, they would be the tank, while the devs focus on being DPS.

So personally, I think the key is that they rely less on the skill of the individual, and focus heavily on teamwork. Also this is probably an analysis of Huawei more than ByteDance/TikTok, but I assume the culture is more similar.
The buying party would get the true market value of the computer less the cost. It’s not their fault that they seller made an offer they weren’t authorized to make.

> Compare that to the Reddit video player or the Twitter video player or Vimeo. It's much better.

The difference between TikTok and e.g. Reddit is that on TikTok the user wants some video, whereas on Reddit the user wants that video.
If you were to go over 32GB of RAM you are probably better off switching to the very similar Mac Studio with the M1 Max which can go to 64GB. If you want an M2-based SOC, I suspect that the Mac Studio will get an upgrade later in the spring.

There was a post recently in Australia where someone posted a picture of their helmet broken, saying they were glad to have been wearing a helmet. There were countless posts of people having been involved in all sorts of accidents either from automobiles or themselves and all said that their life may have been altered following the accident had they not been wearing a helmet.

Having grown up in Australia where they're mandatory, I don't think twice about it. I find the bickering about helmet safety in the US something very similar to your gun laws and gun violence.

Stop bickering and splitting hairs and wear a damn helmet. You have to wear them when you're on two wheels with an engine.
Who cares? There's a half-million fake products on Amazon, it's not the end of the world.

You seem to be overlooking the fact the modifyOtherKeys is 1) not well designed. 2) And does not solve the problem comprehensively.

1a) try to figure out what the escape code for the play/pause key is
1b) it still suffers from the issue that esc keypresses cannot be distinguished from other escape codes
1c) The keyboard protocol can be turned on/off by user config, so there is no robust way for software running in the terminal to know if it is available or not.
1d) it does not support any modifiers beyond the basic 4
1e) It has no support for lock keys num lock/caps lock
1f) It has no support for alternate keyboard layouts
1g) it has no support for shifted keys
2) How does one represent release events in modifyOtherKeys?

xterm has a long and convoluted history of coming up with poorly designed hacks that the entire ecosystem has to carry around forever afterwards. Not wanting to support these mis-faetures is an entirely reasonable position.
"The driver is only in the seat for legal purposes. The car is driving itself." makes it sound like that’s almost ready, as does taking expensive advanced payments on a device which has a relatively short service life. That’s a big up charge for a feature many buyers will never be able use as long as they own their Teslas.

Even now, they say “The system is designed to be able to conduct short and long distance trips with no action required by the person in the driver’s seat”. Again, that’s fine if you’re showing a tech preview but when you start taking preorders on consumable product you really should be very clear that what people get for all of that money is nowhere near the demo.
