I guess I am an outlier here. I determined way-too-late in my college career that the (my) recipe for success was to attend lectures between 8:00AM and 1:00PM. Anything later than that and I would either fall asleep or could not concentrate. The best output of those afternoon lectures was transcribing whatever the professor said into my notebook. Which is nearly useless for mathematics-driven engineering classes, at least in my experience.

But for the early and mid-morning classes, my brain was sharp. I could listen and watch the professor then copy only the key points and equations. My retention and understanding of the material became SOOO much better. And, as a bonus, the morning classes were poorly attended, meaning additional face time with the professor.
> Does the copyright string have any legal significance at all?

It does. At least in the US, if the work contains an explicit copyright announcement then an infringer loses the ability to defend via an "innocent infringement" defense. They become a "deliberate infringer" and this can ultimately change (increase) the size of any damage awards from a lawsuit against the infringer.

I haven't been to Albania yet but I've been to Croatia, Montenegro, and Bosnia for several months at a time. I've had nothing but amazing experiences traveling there in the summer and staying at hostels. One time I was lost in Tisno, Croatia and didn't have a working phone. A local picked me up on the side of the road and drove me 10 miles to the center of town and helped me find a friend.

The only "bad" experience I had was after a music festival in Pula, Croatia, some guy tried to mug me. But he did a terrible job at it. I told him "no", held my ground in a defensive stance, and he backed off. Then I went to the nearest bar, told the bouncer there, and he let me chill in there for a while to calm down.

I've heard Albania is of a similar vibe as to these countries, but with less English speakers.

Contrary to others, I had a terrible time in Greece. I was roofied and mugged in Rhodes, had a bad encounter with the cops in Greece, and everyone was just rude.
Curious, what do you use the 10G network for?
The technology to do this is pretty old, and it's basically just a very precise pick-and-place machine (disclaimer - this is for 3D stacking, not necessarily AMD's thing). The rub is that it doesn't need to be that precise: surface tension from the soldering process will actually correct a small mis-placement as long as you aren't off by too much, so the tolerances are bigger than you think.
I should mention that paragliding can only safely be done in the early morning or in the evening. The wind gets too choppy during the day, making it a lot more dangerous. For me, evening lessons would have been a much better option than early morning lessons. Had I opted for that, I may still be doing it and wouldn't have had to deal with a multi-year recovery, multiple operations, and chronic pain today. Lesson learned, I guess.
My wife is currently writing a book on the effects of technology on education with two of her PhD advisers. She's also an eighth-grade US history teacher at a public school. At the end of this semester I'm going to help her with some experimental curriculum for her students geared around using LLMs like ChatGPT. The goal of the book is both theoretical and practical. There will be lesson plans for teachers developed from her actual experience with students based on the exact kind of epistemological questions that you're asking.

Ask HN: Zero-downtime migration from MongoBD to PostgresSQL
Hey,

we are looking for an efficient way to migrate away from MongoDB to Postgres. Were hosted on Mongo Cloud ATM but i dont think theyll provide us a solution.

Key thing is were running a system which can not go down, and looking online i could not find anything that seems reliable and would help us to achieve that. Developing an in house solution for a one-off job also seems to be not the best one.

Maybe someone has experience regarding that, and could at least point in a good way? Would be really helpful. Thanks!

How computationally expensive is it to generate a key with randomart that kinda-resembles a known randomart?

I am totally confused by your selection of nationalities that are supposedly non-immigrant. What makes Poles or French or Spanish immigrants that does not make Germans or Dutch ones, too?
The same can be said of your posts. I pushed back against someone, so buzz off. You aren’t the arbiter of usefulness just as Europeans aren’t the arbiter of what other countries should be doing economically or politically.
I'm thinking these tools might be better utilized for creating user interfaces. As you say, a few pixels wrong here and there can be easily remedied and has little, if any, impact on the functionality of the software. You could use an AI tool to get you 80%-90% there - which would be a big help.

With regards to coding, AI assistants could make an excellent intellisense. That would also be a big help. I don't need the tool writing huge swaths of the code for it to be useful.

You are grasping at straws at this point. China is not Russia. And Russia is definitely not the US. If one wants to look at countries actually getting destroyed, there isnt anywhere to look other than the US. So save that nonsense.

...

This is the point at which you should let the argument go, instead of trying to push forward failed logic by grasping at straws.

But, you wont do that of course, because the obligation to cope that is so prevalent among Anglosaxon nationalists requires you to keep denying reality and smearing everyone else in order to feel good about your 'own side'.

So I will let you go instead.

As you say, I feel like it probably doesn't really matter that much. If you're relying on a PDF rendering correctly based on an unusual local font then you're in trouble as soon as you send the document to another machine. If you have the Type1 font locally, you could always convert it.

You could have a situation where your font has really weird cmaps and without that specific font the text becomes garbled. More likely, you can substitute it for another font and it's mostly fine.

Keep in mind that the PDF standard has 14 base fonts that are used for a lot of documents that people send about. https://appligent.com/what-are-the-base-14-fonts/

Hi Patrick :)
Reminds me of my early-morning driving lessons. No matter how much I prioritized being rested for them, on the morning drives my attention was always 60%+ focused on just not falling asleep. Several times I had a situation when I would suddenly realize I've been asleep for the past 5+ seconds - while going down a road at 100km/h. The fear of this resulting in an actual accident is a major factor why, after random life circumstances interrupted my learning, I haven't pursued that license again.
I don’t believe for a second that engineers are driving the decisions to use touchscreens. Collectively, engineers have ethics that would prevent dumpster fires like this.

No, I blame the managers and executives, looking to add feature while reducing costs. Moreover, adding this level of software integration permits later adding software locks via an OTA update.

Auto execs wouldn't know ethics if they bit them in the ass. Those individuals should be held responsible for the tragedies that their reckless choices have caused.

I was just helping someone who had removed IE from Windows and then couldn't start QuickBooks (from 2016 or so, I think). Not even get to the main page.

My research showed that Intuit had known about this problem for at least 2-3 years, and told people that they would have a fix but never released one, so everyone seemed to end up having to install a new version of QuickBooks, usually with a subscription.

I found a hacky workaround: create a registry key that tells Windows where IE is located (even though it isn't). QuickBooks then starts up just fine, and as long as you don't use the sections that rely on IE (not sure which ones they are, maybe just documentation?), you can use the program just fine.

The people are winding up their business and retiring, so they really didn't want to buy and learn a new version of QB.
Why move the Rube Goldberg machine from employment to corporate tax codes when we can just have Medicare For All?
It's not just about how many sons he himself had (4). It's also about how many sons his sons had (quite a lot) and so on. His high social status not only let him have many sons but also helped his descendants (not forever, but for some time) with that. Consider also the possibility that his Y-chromosome may be genetically superior. As the Y-chromosome does not undergo recombination, the only way for those beneficial mutations to spread is very gradually, outperforming generation after generation until every single human is a direct descendant.

On the other hand.... it does seem that the genetical evidence is a bit more murky and questionable than popular sources claim.
Actually, in Ancient Greeks some people took that knowledge and actually became atheists. Some of the 'cool' young intellectual would walk into temples and say 'stick me down if you exist' and then were smug when it didn't happen. It also became a common believe that all gods are just historical figures and stories.

However the norm for most of history is to find some way to ratify the two believes even if they contradict.

Ancient Jewish writers like Philo simply wrote a whole bunch of stuff about how every part of the bible is to be interpreted as some Platonic way. He was very influential on Christianity. Ironically he had basically no influence on what became modern Judaism and his interpretation were all rejected.

And this is not just between science and religion. Even within religion this is a problem, because they are simply contradictory.

Its literally possible to believe in all of the bible, because it contradicts itself. And trying to reason your way around all that nonsense requires tons of scholars coming up with elaborate explanations on why everything is actually not nonsense. Usually you have some elite set of priests who guard the interpretation.

Today, there are whole field of Christian fundamentalists apologists who have whole universities field with smart people who do nothing then trying to 'read' the bible in ways that is not contradicting even if it very clearly is.

The simply fact is, unless you view the bible purely allegorically and massively change the interpretation totally from what anybody who actually wrote the bible might have believed you can't have a modern scientific worldview and be a Christian. But at that point you can just base your worldview on Lord of the Rings or whatever you want because its your morals driving the interpretation, not the other way around.

So its easy and reasonably consistent to believe in a Prime Originator who started the universe and then just let laws of physics work, but that is very different basically all religion.

Kind of odd that anyone thinks you need a study to confirm that if you go to sleep at between midnight and two in the morning (which seems to be the norm in this dataset although it's not very explicitly stated or easy to interpret), then having to be cognitively active at eight in the morning is going to be difficult.

Are you basing this purely on reading about supposedly enlightened people getting angry or grumpy? That's a surprisingly common thing, actually. I know that Ingram's claims of arahatship are controversial and quite possibly mistaken (i.e. it's quite possible that there are levels to enlightenment well beyond what he discusses, especially wrt. the grounding of sīla and renouncing one's cravings), but that's not to say one should dismiss his whole teaching.
I started with: “How many unicorns were founded by people in their 30s? The biggest example I can think of is Larry Ellison” but it was easy to come up with so many more examples: Benioff, Reed Hastings, Bezos, Reid Hoffman.

Of course there are many examples of billionaires who founded companies in their 20s as well (Box, Dropbox, Airbnb, Stripe)… intuitively, I think there are a lot of factors (familial obligations being near the top, ahead of American “genius” bias) that tilt the scales towards younger founders.
Such a "truest" formula doesn't really exist, or at least what you determine to be the truest is just a matter of definition and taste.

For any equation it's mathematically trivial to come up with a different set of equations that produce the same result, e.g. for example just via approximating the original function with some infinite series that is guaranteed to give back the original result in the limit.

But even beyond such trite examples, it's not unlikely that there will simply be multiple competing ways to model the same data that the equation takes in and spits out that are very different in form and function, and perhaps even in mathematically incompatible ways (this could happen if e.g. the equations model more than what exists in reality but all of reality is described by some subset of the parameters of these equations, like how gravity works for negative masses but such a thing does not exist from what we know).

You could then decide on some reasonable criteria which of all your models is the truest one, but the criteria themselves will be up for subjective debate.
I don't have access to 175B for comparison. In a vacuum, 30B isn't very good. In the neighborhood of GPT-NeoX-20B, I think, but not good. It repeats itself easily and has a tenuous relationship with the topic. It's still much better than anything I could run locally before now.
It also sucks out contrast and color saturation. Most diving lights are LED these days, and manufacturers go for "brightness" rather than accurate color rendition, so the blue in these cool white inaccurately color rendering LEDs only adds to the problem. But I wonder if a diving photographer zagged instead, and used a bright but very warm, sub 3000K High CRI light source if the problem could be mitigated, reducing the temptation of digital color monkeying. Hard to find old film underwater images online shot with tungsten filament-burning incan light sources, but I would bet my salt that those images looked better and more color-accurate than anything a modern DSLR and post-color processing can produce.
That's not a rebuttable of a claim that Bing is more accurate.

A proper rebuttable would involve empirical evidence that Bing is no more accurate than other LLM tools that do not add analytic augmentations such as search results to their prompts.

Based on empirical evidence, I find that analytic augmentations do indeed result in more accurate results:

I don’t know the legal issues as play but morally speaking it seems to me that Google and Facebook are at fault. They deliberately control which material to feed to people in order to keep them hooked on their platforms. A person susceptible to radicalization for a given ideology will be fed the appropriate material to keep them hooked.

Google and Facebook pretend to be a public billboard where anyone can read/write what they want. That is not what they are though.
