Building a robot arm does help understand how muscles work. By having a robot arm to play with, you can pinpoint exactly the abilities which aren't accounted for by your current understanding. Boston Dynamics built that robot dog thing. It took decades to make robotic kinematics that good. The dog demonstrates an understanding of a system of muscles that solves the same problems as its biological counterpart.

You say that overgrown text prediction isn't how humans work. And full disclosure you're probably right. But me put on my contrarian hat and say that actually you're wrong and that really is all there is to the brain. At what point does my theory break? What types of things can't be done with just overgrown text prediction, and what features are relevant to a system that could do those things? Don't just appeal to intuition and tell me humans obviously don't work that way. Find the actual flaw where the theory breaks down. That is the value of this experiment.

If you can find the words / experiments to demonstrate why overgrown text prediction isn't an accurate understanding of human thought, in the process you will have in fact distilled a better understanding of human thought. Information on how the brain doesn't work is also information about how the brain works.

But if that was the case, you would do that, resorting to other tools for something that tiny is silly and only really done by beginners. Something that tiny would also unlikely have bug or documentation issues.

There are some great tools that are poorly documented/buggy, yes, but they are quite rare and it's much easier to use them and fork the repo (if inactive) than to build from scratch.

This idea that you avoid creating a dependency mess by writing more of your own work, isn't the entire truth. The dependency is just internal, and far more likely to have poor documentation than open source plugin #4159. So you really haven't solved or avoided the problem at all.
The fact of the matter is that we had a rule to prevent this that was rescinded by conservatives. Further implementation of safety rules will always and forever be hamstrung by conservatives due to their ideology concerning deregulation. There is no need to cast blame onto shadowy oligarchs to avoid attributing the disaster to conservative ideology for the past 60 years.

If you use Outlook to restrict an email and send that to me at a non-Microsoft-affiliated account (that I access from a non Microsoft OS), I have to imagine the restriction is worthless.
I think most open source developers who would boycott Microsoft products because of their (abusive?) approach to training Copilot were probably already boycotting Microsoft products. Not much point chasing a market with a lifelong grudge against you.
Innovators dilemma. Search has huge margins because it is cheap to run. LLMs are not. Google gets 80% of revenue from search, Microsoft is forcing them to put a dent in those margins and laughing their asses off. Or as Nadella said in an interview “we made Google dance”.

Insurance is a core tenet of Buffett’s investing philosophy. He uses the “float” from premiums to plow into other investments and then he has the entire cash flow juggernaut of Berkshire to cope in the years when insurance has claims loss. And he’s gotten so amazing at it that he’s able to underwrite risky/exotic policies and profit handsomely from it.

Climate change is definitely a hot topic with insurers but it’s not going to cause them to go broke.

Looks like the author implemented a server-side storage with tiny hash. Why not the data itself as base64? That would make it real serverless!

My anecdote demonstrates that the operating system is clearly not treating all pixels the same, which is exactly what I wrote. And the screenshot tool participates in this.

This MS Office trick is a quick and easy way to show someone that you can’t trust Windows when it comes to screenshots. Ignore it at your own risk.
Great tip. I should compare the cost-per-area across 4" filters too. Often I'm just making a Corsi Box[0], so the filter thickness is unconstrained.

This is exactly my experience: Rogan moved to Spotify, podcasts became more difficult to track because of bad UI and ads were a constant irritation (I pay good money to not get ads).

Nowadays I spend my time listening to different podcasts and tune into Rogan if he has a particularly good guest on.
I've built an append-only scheme where the on-disk format consists of 1 gigantic splay tree with updates being written as a modified sub-tree. The last element you write to disk is always the (latest) root node. Append-only implicitly solves most disk fragmentation concerns. It also has GC capabilities by having the physical log divided into multiple files. The actual "cleanup" is simply taking an old file and feeding its items into the storage engine again. The heuristics for determining when to do this are based upon statistics collected at insert/update time.

Assuming the root node knows how to find the various things you are looking for (i.e. physical offsets to child nodes), this is how you can address the storage.

The trickiest part is finding the latest root node in adverse scenarios (i.e. plug pulled/partial write to disk). You can develop some 2-tier system where a 32-bit magic cookie is scanned for in blocks from back to front, and once it is encountered the relevant offsets are applied and the candidate attempts deserialization+checksum. No partial writes can be recovered in this scheme and wind up as wasted bytes in the log.

At some point I had intended to use this for a work project, but then SQLite came in and ruined my little party.
> If everyone spent as much time donating their time and money as they do jaw jacking that "someone else should do something", we'd solve world hunger by now.

Probably not. The average person generously spends maybe 6 hours a week jaw-jacking and 40+ hours a week working to make some CEO somewhere richer. There's a lot more charity time to be unlocked and donated by reducing society's systemic reliance on extracting profits than there is by telling people to jaw-jack less.

> I have a problem with taking something from Peter and giving it to Paul.

I take things from other people all the time. I call it receiving stock dividends. The McDonald's employee works for an hour, produces $15 worth of value for the company, gets paid $10.10, $3 is sent to the government and a fraction of a penny is sent right to my brokerage account.

Whenever I look at my brokerage account, it always feels unfair. It really does feel like I'm stealing, and I probably am by some definition. People wake up in the morning, go to their 9-5 job, and I take part of their paycheck. Then, I walk into McDonalds and the employee makes me a burger in exchange for the part of their paycheck that I took. All because I have funny made up number with the high-bits set to "1" in my brokerage account.

At its heart, capitalism requires taking something from someone else. There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

> It's sad that so many people think the only answer is to steal from whom they consider rich.

It's sad that so many people think capitalists make their fortunes without taking something from the working class. You probably believe that Jeff Bezos truly puts in 1,000 times more work or is 1,000 times more intelligent than his most highly compensated software engineer.

> If you want to help, the answer is found in basic charity that everyone should be doing ... My challenge to you is to increase your giving in 2023.

Respectfully, the answer to wealth inequality isn't for the bottom 90% who own 30% of the wealth to shuffle it around between each other. The answer is to unlock the other 70% of the wealth. In other words, the answer is advanced charity by the richest 10%, not basic charity by the everyday person. That's not to say that there's anything wrong with basic charity, because a little charity is always better than no charity, but I'm not about to put my signature on a piece of paper and reduce Malaria deaths in Africa by 90% like Gates did.
Well, you could post it during trading hours, for example.
Off topic: I’ve been a DH customer since 2004 and love it because to me it’s the perfect PaaS. DH is way under appreciated by HN crowd.

If you have any influence though, can you ask for the dedicated & vps offerings to get more love. Hardware is terribly out of date now (lack of nvme & modern proc).

I realize DH needs to hit a price point & margin, so I’m not asking for latest gen hardware. Just hardware that isn’t a decade old :)
It’s like they set up a bunch of secret clubs and will only let people become members by paying for access or trading your skills and labor for permission to live there.

That’s why these “taxation = theft” arguments are so stupid. Of course there is no where else you can go where you won’t get taxed because society costs money to maintain. You can try “hiding” inside a country and avoid contributing but at some point that country or society is going to notice that you’re taking and not contributing and they’ll deal with you accordingly. If you don’t have any money you’ll probably get locked up - if you do they might try to take it and lock you up anyway. And then maybe you’ll wish that someone would give you basic assistance to pay for society because you no longer can.
I get the sense this discussion has more to do with which team you play for than the substance of the policy. Team A will lean hard into it because Team B is hard against it, and vice-versa.

Every year, we all have the option to donate more money to the government or related charities, voluntarily. That money could be put to good use on programs like this. How many people advocating for such policies do it? Probably very few. It's much easier to spend someone else's money than your own. Especially if we can convince ourselves that people with more money than us are bad people and don't deserve the same respect as we do. Where have we seen that play out before?
Until a quite advanced age, I’d much rather be a passenger in a car driven by a driver with years of experience rather than a fresh license.

I find some of the concerns written about lack of charging infrastructure odd.

Won’t petrol stations just become fast electric charging stations with cafe and wifi to take meetings…?

Electricity is available in everyone’s home which I expect to service 80-95% of charging demand anyway.

I’d expect long >300km trips to be <5% of in total transportation?
There's definitely a learning curve, no doubt about that. I usually advise learners to expect to read a book. It doesn't have to be The Book, and there are several other good ones to choose from, but expect a book. For most people, learning from examples and compiler errors isn't the way to go.

Suggestions:

The demo image doesn't look great on the phone frame. Not sure what to do. Perhaps you could have a toggle for cropping the image and a setting for aspect ratio, that would be set by default when using the demo image?

Also, for people working on iOS apps it might be useful to have a vaguely iPhone-like shape available as well.
Just last month, Pakistan's national assembly unanimously voted to expand its country's blasphemy laws, which have previously been used to charge more than 1500 Pakistanis. That doesn't include the more than 70 people who have been murdered by mobs and vigilantes over allegations of "insulting Islam."

Those laws impose the death penalty for "insulting the Prophet Muhammad" and 10 years to life in prison for insulting his "companions." According to Pew Research, 76% of Pakistani Muslims support the death penalty for simply leaving Islam, never-mind "insulting" the religion (https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2013/04/30/the-worlds-m...). Apparently a 10th century drawing of the guy is "prophet worship" (which is also punishable by death), but putting people to death for insulting him isn't.

If you think those surveys are wrong, the unanimous legislative support for these measures would suggest Pakistan really is ruled by a military junta that doesn't represent its people. If you acknowledge the polls are even somewhat accurate, I'm curious how you think demanding the death penalty for leaving a religion doesn't make you a fanatic. According to Gallup Pakistan, a majority of Pakistanis said they wanted the "type of Islamic government in Pakistan that the Taliban have brought in Afghanistan" (https://gallup.com.pk/post/32284).

I am genuinely curious what you do believe constitutes a religious fanatic if demanding the death of people who leave their religion and openly supporting Taliban-style government doesn't fit the bill.

There are absolutely (non-Muslim) religious fanatics in India and other places who do terrible things. Conversely, there are many Pakistanis who are not religious fanatics and oppose these fanatical measures. That doesn't change the truth of his point: that Pakistan is plagued by religious fanatics and a militaristic government. All countries have their religious fanatics, but there is a very real difference between, say, 50 crackpots from the Westboro Baptist Church carrying offensive signs and 76% of the country supporting the execution of people that leave their religion.
I agree welding is very broad spectrum, including both 222-nm and many other frequencies, and also dangerous. But these KrCl excimer 222-nm products generate light through a completely different mechanism and produce a far narrower spectrum. See https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acsphotonics.2c00041 and specifically this chart https://pubs.acs.org/cms/10.1021/acsphotonics.2c00041/asset/...

We do know a lot about how dangerous different frequencies are, and when you combine the "risk to humans" curve with the "emissions by wavelength" curve you get very low risk.

I do still think we should run additional experiments here before rolling this out broadly for hours-a-day usage, but from what we know so far it looks very good.
It's true, and it is a big problem with C++. I'm not sure if you were being sarcastic here, but if those 100,000 lines are not heavily back-weighted towards 2014 and later, that amount of code probably doesn't make you a C++ expert unless you were doing things like writing parts of boost (or another template library) or you happened to decide to read a few hundred pages of the spec recently.

The language-change whiplash that people accuse Rust of happens to C++ folks who leave the language for several years, since "idiomatic" C++ has changed substantially over the last 20 years.

EDIT - Just to clarify, there are SO MANY different ways to do things in C++ that the way to really learn C++ is by reading (both good code and the spec), not by writing. It's very easy to write a ton of code and not actually do it in the fastest/best/most idiomatic way. This is complicated by the fact that a ton of C++ examples out there are wrong. It's really an electrical engineer's language at this point - read all the datasheets if you want to avoid getting shot in the foot (and still get shot in the foot anyway).

You could use VXLAN over WireGuard with a lower MTU, attach the VXLAN interfaces to different VRFs and route traffic, it's a somewhat valid usecase.

Switching over the internet is pain, I've got experience. Used to work at an MSP that did this as common procedure, worked fine until it didn't, and noone could explain why. And we're not even talking loops yet, you'll have to build a pretty sick RSTP.

Interesting solution.

I wonder if you could make the 'wake up' a bit more advanced.

Run tcpdump or something similar on the Pi, with a filter set for inbound packets to the media server on ports that Plex or Time Machine uses. If it sees those packets, send the WoL magic packet.

This might not work if your switch does proper port isolation - but you could perhaps add port mirroring or something like that.

Windows 10’s Mail app used MSO when I looked at it a few years back, and I don’t expect it’s changed. Therefore it wouldn’t surprise me if their new Outlook app (currently https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/outlook-for-windows/...) also used MSO, though I hope not.

On re-reading my previous comment, it was pretty insulting, which I think provoked you to retaliate. I apologize for my tone.

Modifying your example’s verb, if you said “Where is the new house?”, then I’d say you’re implying the new house presently exists - unless we’re currently poring over housing development plans, in which case I’d say you’re clearly referring only to plans. Maybe the reason we’re reading the headline differently is context. This is the first I’ve heard of new Spanish trains, so I took the words out of context (until after clicking and reading), but if you were already aware of this planning-stage project then I can see how the headline would conjure train plans, not presently existing trains, for you.

Re 2-3 years, the alternative is that the delay includes some repeated work, some time where work is done inefficiently or even on hold due to confused requirements, some things with lead time that got reset, and the overhead of correcting the mistake. Still a costly screwup, of course.
Knowing Tesla I expect it's an exception that falls out of the whole charger handshake process.

I have their previous air monitoring device (just displays a range of color from red -> orange -> yellow -> green), and regularly compare it to the air quality display of a Sharp air purifier in the same room.

It's no scientific measurement, but both devices seem to be mostly reacting the same. There's some time lag between the two, and the air flow seems to impact a lot of what they'll detect (the air purifier is more stable in that respect as it's the one creating the airflow), but the IKEA sensor doesn't seem to be too bad in that respect. At least I haven't seen the SHARP one go berserk while the IKEA sensor stays green, if that's what you would be fearing.

>Why isn't this the default (or at least a configuration option)?

Because 1) you still need a second machine to wait for incoming requests, 2) in a server there's no general way to check if the server is serving requests or not. Plex happened to provide an API that specifically does what you needed, but you had to resort to a bit of a hack for Time Machine. This is unlike a desktop context, where you can check if the user has moved the mouse or pressed a key in the last N minutes. And 3) because the delay of waiting for the server to wake back up is undesirable.

>Seriously, there is soooo much potential to save energy in IT.

I don't think so. For VPS instances it doesn't matter, and for internal servers it's almost certainly more efficient to virtualize a bunch of services onto a single box, if there's multiple servers idle most of the time.
Strongly disagree with this.

You can call it smoke and mirrors all you want, but its utility is pretty self-evident- you can really just talk with this thing, and it will give reasonable answers.
