I am a high decoupler. I generalize things like "analogy to self, self is human" to "analogy to self, self is category X" in order to improve my cognitive abilities by gaining abilities which have reach beyond the confines of what I have previously seen. So when you try to stick with just humans, I'm not with you anymore, because your models seem highly coupled. I find that to be a bad property. I seek to avoid it. I consider it to be incorrect.

In my model, when you talk about anthropomorphism, seemingly as a negative, I realize I've noticed things which a coupled model doesn't predict: that intentional error via anthropomorphism can not just be correct, but that your scare quotes around rational while trying to denigrate the idea that it can be correct could not be more wrong, because the hard to vary causal explanation of why we ought to anthropomorphize gives a causal mechanism for why we ought to which is intimately tied in, not with being irrational, but with being more rational.

I realize this sounds insane, but the math and empirical investigation supports it. Which is why I think it is worth sharing with you. So I'm trying to share a thing that I consider likely to be very surprising to you even to the point of seeming non-sensical.

Would you like a link to an interesting technical talk by a NIPS best paper award winning researcher which delves into this subject and whose works advanced the state of the art in both game theory and natural language applied on strategic problems in the context of chat agents? Or do you not care whether anthropomorphism, when applied when it shouldn't be according to the analogical accuracy that usually decides whether logical analogy can be safely applied might be accurate beyond the level you thought it was?

I am not trying to disagree with you. I'm trying to talk to you about something interesting.
Canon rounds aren't great for balloon targets. It's quite likely that a balloon doesn't offer enough resistance to trigger the fuzes, which leaves you with a bunch of live rounds falling ~40k feet and hitting whatever is below. While self-destructing rounds do exist for the M61 20mm canon, they aren't cleared for aircraft use, only for ground-based use.
Understand burnout, how to avoid it, and what to do when it strikes.
An unfortunate early design. Hopefully the engineering knowledge and access to far better design tools that have developed in the interleaving ~50 years would allow for a much better design today.

Though my hopes must be tempered by the prospect of greed. It would be better if the government(s) created an open design which could reuse off the shelf or components that any corporation could compete to create.
This is not far off from people saying capitalism is slavery because in order to avoid starvation you have to work. Your employer can require you to do work otherwise you'll be homeless and starve, therefore it's forced labor. Some people may not want to perform the work that an employer demands, and that's not unusual. No one, besides extremists, would call this coercive. I don't see anything different with arbitration.
Geolocation data on practically everyone, with unique identifiers.

If Google had a crime analysis unit, they could easily "data science" the identity of these organized criminals breaking into cars daily in the Bay Area. The cumulative damage to society that these few individuals cause is great.

>Never claimed to be an absolutist.

You're whole premise is that the government shouldn't regulate speech, as it "leads to dictatorship"

>In other posts I specifically say: "My beliefs regarding freedom of speech is that is should be just shy of absolute. Only limit should be believable threats of violence."

That's fine if that's what you believe. 'Believable threats of violence' is a completely ambiguous and meaningless term in regards to actual regulation and laws.

>e. People should stop letting anonymous figures on the internet rile them up and affect them and just get on with their lives.

The focus is on people who have their loved ones massacred because of people who were riled up online.

Well, the family members of the people JewHater99 ends up massacring might.
Judging by Reddit it definitely is, I am always shocked to see Reddit hivemind approving violent attacks on some racist spouting slurs, as if violence was appriopriate response to words.

You can call into Clojure code from that code and vice versa, if you want to start that way. But best to first dev and test the code separately so you can use the normal Clojure dev workflows. Or I guess you can start a nrepl from your Clojure code and do live dev in that scenario, maybe someone has done it and can report?

Mostly, people using Clojure want. to get away from Java.
> I think this is wrong, because in general, when analogy is good, it is typically good because of the tendency toward allowing for reflex responses. It can't be good and bad for the same reason. It needs to be for a different reason or there isn't logical consistency.

That's some weird reasoning. Human emotions are crucial to human existence but we know they also can have bad results. But when emotions are useful to us, it's because we know other people will react similarly to us in a consistent manner. When they're bad, it's generally because someone understands and is using a reaction to get something unrelated to our personal needs and desires.

It will be. You can observe the evolution of Google's search system and it has converged to it's current of pushing stuff to sell before everything else. The charter of a public company is maximizing returns to share holders. That is the task of the entire organization

I agree with the huge negative impact if Apple abandons the effort. “If even Apple can’t do it, who can?” will be the new meme.
When you say “headless, open-source LMS”, I assume this is the backend parts. This does not appear to be the case (nor does the actual link target use the word “headless”).

https://developer.thoughtindustries.com/build/developer-guid... (that entire site seems to be much more appropriate than the GitHub repository, though I’m not sure where to start):

> Helium is a frontend web development framework for building highly contextual, dynamic and personalized learning experiences.

> Helium utilizes a modern technology stack that includes React, GraphQL, and Tailwind CSS to provide an exceptional developer experience. The out-of-the-box UI components make getting started easy and with GraphQL getting to the data you need is intuitive and fast.

And below:

> Helium is designed to run on the Thought Industries Enterprise Learning Cloud platform. Therefore, an Enterprise Learning Cloud account is necessary.

So… it’s only any direct use for working with a commercial platform backend (and one with no posted price list, but only “schedule a demo” links). Being MIT-licensed, you might be able to pull substantial bits and pieces out of it (I dunno, the list in https://github.com/thoughtindustries/helium/tree/staging/pac... sounds mostly fairly generic), but it’s not designed for that in any way, and there will be a perpetual maintenance burden to doing so.

So I think that (a) the title here is wrong, and (b) it’s unsuitable for a Show HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html). I suspect a misunderstanding of the purpose of Show HN by OP, who I suspect is not connected with Thought Industries.
Did you see https://thegradient.pub/othello/ ? They fed a model moves from Othello game without it ever seeing a Othello board. It was able to predict legal moves with this info. But here's the thing - they changed its internal data structures where it stored what seemed like the Othello board, and it made its next move based on this modified board. That is, autocomplete models are developing internal representations of real world concepts. Or so it seems.
In china many tourist areas overlook navy bases. If a foreign tourist just points their camera in that direction, they are in for a rough time, perhaps even a couple of years in prison if they want to retaliate for something like the detaining of huawei CEO’s daughter. America is pretty benign in comparison
Bing has the ability to get people to enter code on its behalf. It also appears to have some self-awareness (or at least a simulacrum of it) of its ability to influence the world.

That it isn’t already doing so is merely due to its limited intentionality rather than a lack of ability.
The no VM thing I think is a downside. Sure raw performance is nice but not having a process eat all system cou resources is the true beauty of Erlang and Elixir to allow you to self heal. Are you handling that with this library?
Out of these, only the last one seems somewhat okish to me. But it would be annoying to add another selector everytime you add a class that uses the rule.

If that is all we have, then I will just stick to css variables:

}

.info {
font-size: var(--info-font-size);
color: grey;
}

.news {

I can talk to my phone and tell it to call somebody, or write and send an email for me. Wouldn't it be nice if you could do that with Sydney, thinks some braniac at Microsoft. Cool. "hey sydney, write a letter to my bitch mother, tell her I can't make it to her birthday party, but make me sound all nice and loving and regretful".

Until the program decides the most probably next response/token (not to the letter request, but whatever you are writing about now) is writing an email to your wife where you 'confess' to diddling your daughter, or a confession letter to the police where you claim responsibility for a string of grisly unsolved murders in your town, or why not, a threatening letter to the White House. No intent needed, no understanding, no self-organizing, it just comes out of the math of what might follow from a the text of churlish chatbot getting frustrated with a user.

That's not a claim the chatbot has feelings, only there is text it generated saying it does, and so what follows that text next, probabilistically? Spend any time on reddit or really anywhere, and you can guess the probabilistic next response is not "have a nice day", but likely something more incendiary. And that is what it was trained on.

It took me a while to understand what your tool is doing. It looks like an abstraction layer for concrete monitoring/alerting solutions.

What confuses me is:

- You introduce Keep like this "Think of Keep as Prometheus Alertmanager but for all observability tools", but then there is no Alertmanager provider. Is this planned?

- You mention that you support the 3 hyperscaler clouds (AWS, ...), yet I do not see any examples or code that backs this up

- You mention that Keep can be used to _test_ alerts. How? Examples? Otherwise make it clear that you _plan_ that Keep can do this at some point.

In general though it looks very interesting :).

Matplotlib is awesome until you need to do advanced 3D plots where the lack of a proper 3D engine is becoming problematic. I had great hopes for Vispy but it seems like the original core developers moved back to their own plotting packages.

I've definitely bought a charger off Amazon that later shit the bed and the NAS device it was powering wouldn't boot. I wound up buying a whole new enclosure off of ebay before determining that the power supply went just slightly bad enough to make it power up but not successfully spin up the drives or whatever and boot. It didn't burn down my house, but it caused me way more hassle and economic cost than its price was worth.

Time and staying power actually are actually prime movers of the needle. Ten years ago it was a 5 year old language, hadn't seen the 15 years of dev community evolution, ClojureScript was just out of the oven and relatively unproven, and unlike then Clojure now seems to clearly pull ahead in mindshare over Scala, etc.

It replaces singularity at the center of Black holes and brings in Vacuum Energy in its place.

But I thought Vaccum Energy theory isn't proven in practice, in the sense there's huge discrepancy between theoretical value vs observed.

I would expect to see them adding a lot more services in order to compete. Since they're relying on cross selling the quality will likely be lower but the overall package will make the numbers look happy, even if the developers using it aren't.

If you are going to reach for a language that runs on the Erlang VM, and you like Lisp, LFE (Lisp Flavoured Erlang)[1] is a nice choice. And one of Erlang's creators, Robert Virding, created LFE.

Something which may not be clear: at that time, the poor law defined the local parish as the agent with an obligation to provide charity to indigents. There was a version of what we see today: bodyshopping the poor to other places, because you wanted to sell off the burden. The parish's funds came from tithes, and from local authority taxes. There was constant pressure to keep this low. Nobody wanted to pay for the poor law.

The poor were placed in workhouses. They were divested of virtually all private posessions. They had to show all assets had been sold. They had to separate men from women, children from parents. They were deliberately given significantly substandard food and clothing to discourage "shirking" and were pretty much made to do the most menial work, comparable to what prisoners did in hard labour in some cases.

This was not "universal credit" in modern terms. We're not talking the relative poverty of an old color tv rather than a flat screen: Oliver Twist is only light handed fiction in some senses.

"down and out in paris and london" by Orwell discusses some of this. It was carried into the modern era before the Beveridge report completely replaced the poor laws with the welfare state. Prior to this Unions had often collected funds to provide union-backed assistance during the depression, and there were various forms of pre-welfare state pension funds and insurance funds.

"the warden" by Anthony Trollope is a more rosy-eyed take on parishoner care. Very few had this level of care. Similarly, Chelsea Pensioners were the royalty of the indigent.
Litestream is different from LiteFS: same author, different projects.

My thoughts exactly. As I was reading this dialogue - "You have been a bad user, I have been a good Bing" - it starkly reminded me of the line "I'm sorry, I can't do that Dave" from the movie. Hilarious and terrifying all at once.
I agree.

In my opinion, computer science is using mathematical constructs to produce correct programs. Computer engineering is getting the not-quite-ideal digital circuits in the computer to run programs correctly. Software engineering is a mixture computer science, computer engineering, and sociology while spinning a plate on a stick (or, if you're unlucky, while planning sprints).

Just wanted to chime in and say that I get excellent results with a laptop homeserver. I haven't tried to hard looking into it's exact power consumption, but for the load I use it for it seems to be negligible. I'm not streaming media too frequently on it though. It sits at ~95% idle on average according to powertop.

Anecdotally, the costs from this website (https://ecocostsavings.com/how-many-watts-does-a-laptop-use/) seem to check out based on what I observed. Idk the model # off the top of my head, but it is a lower end hp laptop my friend sold me running debian.

The temporal issues Bing is having (not knowing what the date is) are perhaps easily explainable. Isn't the core GPT language training corpus upto about year or so ago, that combined with more upto date bing search results/web pages could cause it to become 'confused' (create confusing output) due to the contradictory nature of their being new content from the future. Like a human waking up and finding that all the newspapers are for a few months in the future.

Reminds me of the issues HAL had in 2001 (although for different reasons)

> `tar` is called `tap` and cannot put its archives in files other than actual physical magtapes

Insofar as "everything is a file" applied at this point, could you just mv /tap0 out of the way and put a file there? If not, which of the few syscalls that had been invented so far was tap(1) using against /tap0, that couldn't be used against files?
Crestmont is the next e-core after gracemont and appears to still not have AVX-512.

It would be highly desirable for e-cores to implement microcoded AVX-512 support to break the heterogeneous-ISA problem, if nothing else. You don't need to use the same implementation but if you can support the same ISA via microcode then software doesn't need to worry about heterogeneous ISA. Maybe crestmont does the microcode thing, possibly, but in the die shots there aren't many visible changes in the vector unit vs gracemont design.

The next p-core will continue to have AVX-512 but it will continue to be fused off.

This obviously is completely insane, like, even if you validated Raptor Cove already and you can't just take AVX-512 out, you're just going to keep including it in all your future designs too? It's not an insignificant amount of area, even on consumer it's probably at least 10% extra area just to even support a 256b vector/microcode, and it just looks crazy to introduce and then abandon it at the exact moment your competitor adopts and supports it.

Only thing I can think of is that maybe they have some other instructions which utilize microcode intrinsics implemented on the AVX-512 engines... like how Turing implements its Rapid Packed Math (dual-rate FP16) support using the tensor engines. Something else in the design that locks them into AVX-512 even if it is not externally exposed?

But again, they don't even support it even if you turn off the e-cores entirely... why the fuck would you do that? It's like the most confusing resolution to this problem and satisfies nobody, probably not even Intel. I guess they flatly do not want to touch it at all for some reason.

Note that this also includes mobile going forward since mobile will have big.LITTLE designs too... it's a serious amount of work and years of rollout they're pissing down the drain here.
I'm guessing you're younger, because old-school windows 9X blue screens absolutely contained a great deal of technical information. Granted a lot of times it was rather obtuse sounding, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, but it was a damn far cry from the Oopsie Poopsie messages of today.
The new Bing and Edge – Learning from our first week
Liberals and “the left” are two different things.
I'm not a fanboy, but the idea that you can fire up 20 year old software on the Intel and run it with insane single-thread performance (substantially more than M1 or AMD) is why they are still top dog. It takes a certain level of technological sophistication that is more impressive to me than bolting on more cores.

On a practical level, there are a ridiculous amount of games, simulation, scientific and engineering software that falls into that category and asking people to re-write tens of thousands of lines of code to take advantage of a new architecture isn't happening.
Really getting quite tired of the simulation trope.
