Well, even getting past the human/medical side - one thing the computer/VC people miss coming into the field is Bio is both expensive and not amenable to the kinds of growth/pricing curves computers have been. It costs money to grow a cell strain in a tube, but to grow 100 cell strains, it costs… 100x as much. It takes 24 minutes for E.coli to reproduce, but in another couple years we’ll be able to get that down to… 24 minutes. There’s opportunities for improving the cost, reducing the spend on reagents (or finding better ones), reducing the number of strains required, that kind of thing, but the computer/internet/digital industry’s basically priced a Moore’s law curve in on everything, and that just doesn’t work in Bio. The capital costs are large and the time to iterate is really slow compared to digital.
Regarding the recidivism in this analysis [1], the US doesn't look totally out of place vs European countries that consider prison's core reason to be rehabilitation (e.g. Denmark, Germany).

Note that this is a made up number. There is no scientific method to calculate it. It's just an opinion translated to a number to give a fake sense of precision.

I'm worried, but not because of this "clock".

I keep like two weeks of canned food (it's part of my normal food cupboard, not an special stage), a week of water (I should keep more, but it uses too much space and is difficult to rotate), and I'd like to add iodine pills but I'm too lazy.
That's because it's a large language model, not an AI.

Anyone calling it an AI is buying/selling the hype cycle, or (at best) using an over-general term for ML in general.
Launched a startup targeting to make it easy to get input from Experts
Dear Friends,

I have launched Experteaming, a platform which targets to make it extremely simple to get input from Experts on topics of interest.

https://experteaming.com

I would highly appreciate your review, advise and comments.

Thanks a lot in advance

I've been using LaTeX for my resume since college. I always get compliments on how my resume is so pleasant to look at, stands out because it's not the same template as everyone else, etc. A lot of recruiters ask me where to get the Word template for it.

But the greatest joy I get is when people email me about how they used my TeX source to make their resume and suddenly got a lot more interest.

And the most hilarious was when I got a resume once that looked suspiciously like my own, and when I asked them about it in the interview, they told me the copied one from the internet and I pointed out that they had copied mine! We both had a good laugh. I honestly don't remember if I hired them or not.

If anyone wants a copy of my resume TeX source, let me know (contact info in profile).
A weapon that is not controlled by any government is just a not-government-controlled weapon.

But I disagree with the "weapon" classification entirely, because highlighting an issue is the best a subtle influence campaign can achieve, unless Jedi mind tricks are real. And if people don't agree that the issue being highlighted to them is worthy of their attention, even such attempts will fall on deaf ears.
The latter is illegal by letter and unethical by spirit, the former is not…
I'm certain that's it.
Oh, u32 is generally fine exactly because 16 bits is so niche. But you still have a cast between u32 and usize (and .into() isn't that much better). Casts or conversions on each collection access makes code hard to read

So if your application can work with u32 everywhere (on either 32 bits or 64 bits platforms), you should use u32 and impl Index<u32> on your collection, to avoid the cast.

It's only if you need the less common use case of u32 on 32 bits platforms, u64 in 64 bits platforms that you should bother with usize
But React is a framework, itself built upon HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Recommending to use a framework on top of a framework is madness. If React doesn't do what's needed, just make another new framework instead.
Yes, that can eat up your energy like nothing else. Best of luck with that, been there, have a whole bunch of t-shirts ;)

Could you give an example of a positive-weight shortest path problem with A* can solve, but Dijkstra's algorithm cannot? I do not believe there is such a thing. Or did you mean something else?

> And Dijkstra's won't work in "any case" at all, esp graphs with negative edge weights.

A* won't solve those either.
I didn't even think about this. My 2nd factor is through a different app, but if I'd been using BitWarden's TOTP I wonder if I would've been stuck.

A good reminder to also have printed (or something) OTPs accessible in a safe place in case you need them.

Woo! No more giant pile of i386 dependencies!

Defining a newtype avoids confusing indexes of, say, a graph and a Vec, but doesn't avoid confusing indexes of two graphs

Rust has a design pattern called lifetime branding (also called generativity), which uses phony lifetimes to prevent, at compile time, confusing indexes of two separate collections of the same type. This can also enable disabling out of bounds checks without triggering UB (because, with branding, we can be sure that the index is on bounds at the moment of creating it; essentially we move bounds check from the indexing time to the index creation time)

Here's an earlier mention of that [0] (7 years ago), and here's a crate from 3 years ago, indexing [1] but I'm not sure about recent developments on that.

Now, petgraph doesn't use branding for its index types, so if you have two graphs you can confuse their indexes. On the other hand, petgraph was specifically designed so that you can reuse the node and edge numbering across many graphs (so that if you have a subgraph for example, the nodes and edges share the same ids), in this situation it's kind of hard to use branding

There's another pattern for not confusing index types which is to make different index types for each different collection and make the collection work only with that type; this is done eg. in typed-indexed-collections [2] - but it doesn't use branding so two collections with same index type have interchangeable indexes

Anyway right now this stuff is mostly folklore but I wish it were more used.

> Hedge Funds seem to want to move Alphabet to that more predictable pattern

Or the hedge funds feel like this has already happened due to their massive size and bloated management. Maybe they think that Google is beyond the point of meaningful growth in new areas (relative to their ad revenue), so they should start operating like a boring corporation instead of throwing insane salaries at everyone like magic beans that will sprout into new areas of growth.

This isn't necessarily hedge funds pushing for Google to change into something they aren't. Maybe they're just pushing for Google to accept the reality of the situation they put themselves in.

I don't necessarily agree with that perspective, but I don't think it's totally unreasonable.
The best part is the “gluten free” anti AI crowd will be left in the dust. They may think they’re being classy snobs but being against AI is going to be tantamount to saying you eat crayons and don’t read well.
The one reason I am still interested in React for my side projects is that react-three-fiber exists. So far I have avoided using competitive frameworks because I use React at work and really mastering it makes me more productive globally than being a dilettante at Vue or Svelte.

Lately though I have been using htmlx which doesn’t address all the problems that React does, particularly highly complex applications where an update can change other components on the page. It is easy though, when classifying things, to have a list of the 5 Last things so if the mouse clicks twice I can change the select and it posts to the server. I have a few htmlx features bolted on top of a system which otherwise would look like a web app from 1999…. And I can say boy is it fast.

Most people will respond with "immorality" or likewise.

What it amounts to is badly interpreted bible verses by the 3 Abrahamic religions as a means of social control over the taboo of sex.

As someone who follows the old religions, I see this everywhere. The men are expected to be open to sex, but women who do are seen as whores. But, that's where the taboo of sexwork comes from.

And to link it back to the article, Calvinism ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvinism ) is the primary and dominant reason why prisons are as brutish as they are. The basic gist of this form of Protestant Christianity is that 'you are predestined to be a horrible person and predestined to be in prison, so we have the right to treat you inhumanely as possible because you deserve it'. Capitalist monopoly forces also have a bearing here in the price gouging, but the basic infrastructure of a prison is brutish because "you deserve it", in a Calvinist sense.

I'm living in Ohio and visit two coffee shops on the regular with electronic iPad checkout. One has a tip in the checkout process while the other does not. In the tip included location I've seen people in front of me tip 20 to 30% on a regular basis for everything from drip coffee to the coffee milkshakes that everyone seems to be overindulging on these days. So people are willingly paying $8 to $10 of Ohio money for a coffee milkshake, or $5 for drip!

Ask HN: Is anyone building a question answering system using the HN corpus?
Today, if someone wants to know what the HN community knows/thinks about a topic, they can either:

A) Search past HN comments on hn.algolia.com, or

B) Post a new 'Ask HN'.

LLMs could provide a new way to find answers within a corpus. These have been described elsewhere, e.g.

- https://github.com/openai/openai-cookbook/blob/main/examples...

- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34477543

I keep expecting someone (maybe minimaxir or simonw?) to post a 'Show HN: Get your question answered by the collective wisdom of HN', but I no one has so far (unless I missed the submission?).

Is someone already working on this?

Hahaha. During COVID, our warden just flat refused to receive mail, because they couldn't 'lose' peoples compassionate release requests when received via certified mail like they did when you tried to use the internal 'grievance process' system that somehow had an 80% loss rate that the courts were just fine with. Oh, and if you had a problem with the grievance process? The BOP and Courts require... you guessed it... that you follow the grievance process to address. You can't even get access to the courts until you exhaust the grievance process which takes 3-6 months and minimum $24 in postage (a lot when you make $5 a month) and another $10-20 in copier fees.
Yes, the answer is the same. I also don't want apps to use my local storage.
Yes, I agree. I hoped for the domain with s to be forgotten by the owner. It impossible to use this domain with š if I don't own the other one, that's why I don't use the domain under national TLD and instead use .eu for personal email and website.

It's weird that Google prefers the IDN variant under national TLD instead of the non-IDN variant with an IDN counterpart under .eu.

Another interesting phenomenon is that chromium detects suspicious activity and informs the user if he meant to go to š.tld when visiting s.tld. Or vice-versa, depending on which site he opened first I think. It's nice how the browser detects different ownership - this does not happen for other TLDs where I own both domains.

> And a huge similarity: they are given power over people and routinely use this power to harm, rather than help heal. Our 4-yr old has police trauma from police coming to bother us about them playing outside naked

That's horrible and I'm really sorry to hear it. I've let our daughter play outside naked and I'd be absolutely livid if law enforcement bothered us about it.

But that still has nothing to do with jails scanning mail (or even police "corruption").
Oh yeah, that one's a bit trickier to explain. It's a bit like telling people, "no, You CAN NOT currently run real Chrome on your iPhone... yes I know you see an icon that says 'Chrome' on it..."

I'm not sure he gets the concept of "browser engines".
I'm leaning towards using it for things I already know exactly how to do -- including a very clear idea of the result. In these contexts, it can save some mental workload / time.
In the US, it depends on the waste services provider, city, and county. I've had garbage companies that offer compost and yard waste services and some not. Sometimes it's provided through the city or county for free or for a fee, though not everywhere
Utopian: Ex-cons lead happy and productive lives with relevant and in-demand skills. Education system is extended.

>>Devs can use their noggins

Can =/= Will

And as also pointed out by others, it not only requires effort, but knowledge, and that knowledge will be systematically degraded the more AI-ish code generation is used.

OTOH, those with super-diligent hacker attitudes will start to learn how to find the flaws in generated code and optimize it, so leveraging the tool, but most will just move on to the next task/ticket as soon as the AIish code passes the unit tests. So, super-leveraging AI-generated code will be rare.
I’ve communicated no judgement that I’m OK with the subset that is. Since you’ve accused me of being OK with it, I’ll now respond to unambiguously and strenuously deny that accusation.

>I completely agree with wanting good protection for my data on my devices, but people should be able to give away and sell these devices without worrying that the device will end up bricked in the process.

This is not an acceptable compromise. These devices are the keys to a person’s entire existence, no compromise should be made to offset the user’s ignorance.
The bonus would have to be higher than what they earn from an inmate.
Pimps are not neccesarily traffickers.

It might be hard to digest but a large majority of people in the industry go in by choice. We should have tougher law enforcement to weed out the bad apples, but that is difficult since this isssue seems to involve two things that are extremely nebulous and difficult to weigh. Sex and morality.
You had me until this "artificial scarcity of a basic right."

Housing is not a natural right. Rights don't have limits (until they harm someone else), so something like speech can't be artificially scarce.
I am impressed with the form features in HTML 5. You get progress bars for free and don’t have to fight npm to manage a 3rd party library that inevitably is going to have some weird ideas about styling things with CSS.
It needs a higher bar commensurate to the cocaine-confidence it has been trained to portray. If it doesn't know the answer, it just dreams up something and then swears blind it's 100% true. That's problematic. If it could be trained to say no, and to give, say, a confidence score to its answers, then it will be much better.

We use a markdown plugin/doclet tool to process javadoc in our codebase, and it's worked wonderfully for many years now.

The fact that whitespace isn't significant in standard javadoc is complete insanity - you have to choose between "readable in my text editor" and "readable in the compiled form", and there's no way to have both. Unless you use a 3rd party thing to accept markdown (or other format with significant whitespace).
They’ve already been trained on orders of magnitude more text than a human being ever sees or hears in their entire life, without approaching human intelligence. What text is left to train them on?

AI image generation from text prompts. Midjourney, DallE, etc. These platforms are quickly disrupting the visual art and commercial art world. This isn't just "Putin as a Vampire Riding a Nuclear Bomb" wacky art. If you spend time looking at how these platforms are being used - they are quickly becoming production tools that are helping accelerate ideation and creation. Here are some examples:

* Developing logo concepts - the rendered text is usually wrong but the layout and design can be used to "hand build" a final concept

* Developing UI and web page designs

* Architectural designs and renderings

* Packaging design

Personally I'm using it to develop very niche imagery for a roleplaying game (Welcome to Grimsbury). Everything from postcards, postage stamps, posters, signage and illustrative imagery is coming out of Midjourney. The amount of control I have over the final product, the detail and unexpected "awesomeness" is mind blowing. I just generated a set of vintage postage stamps in the gravure style of scientists opening otherworldly portals. I could print them out and use them to mail a letter.

Artists and illustrators are very concerned about this technology - and rightly so. I was budgeting almost $2,000 to pay for art for my game - now - I spend $10-$20 a month to get hundreds of images that I 100% own the commercial rights to use. This will get me to the Kickstarter phase where I will then use kickstart $$$ to pay an illustrator to help with the final product - but Midjourney gets me launched.

This is really the question to ask.

I'm due in less than two weeks, and I'm doing the "one and done" route. Costs, house space, time, and frankly, pregnancy wrecked me emotionally and physically. It's incredibly difficult to have a high-paced career (which I love and thrive on, to be clear!) ...when you are throwing up in the toliet constantly.

Yup, only one. One is enough.
the reason for that is near real-time detection of threats requires aggregation of terabytes of data according to rules (continuous GROUP BY on thousands columns on a sliding window) - and these aggregates by design have to be stored in RAM.

Otherwise these detections stop being near-realtime and become offline detection instead, just like any other sql server.

A scary number. I wonder about a per-subreddit distribution, though. I imagine the primary subreddits have slightly worse human-to-bot ratio, niche subreddit somewhat better, with non-political, non-easily-monetizable subreddits having the best.

Did your analysis also attempt to identify troll farms? Would the content produced by protein bots be grouped in the ~65% of bot content, or the remaining 35%?

This doesn't surprise me at all. Dr. Thomas DeMarse was training rat brain slurries (think brains thrown into a blender) to fly flight simulators in 2004. I've long suspected brain cells tend to self organize and in particular want to minimize change in inputs over time. (and yes this is a gross over simplification given that I know of at least a half dozen types of neurons).
