There are two different "circle around distant bodies" here that are probably causing some confusion.

Classically, if near your appliance you can see stars and Mars through the window on a cloudless night, a flash of light from your appliance can in principle be seen (e.g. by a really good telescope orbiting one of those bodies). Indeed, some of the light from a laser pointer shining out your window will go to infinity, and has some astronomical chance of being stuck the photon ring around a black hole. It works just like you being able to see through your window starlight or (in principle) a bright flash on the surface of Mars. However, this is not the sort of "goes around Jupiter" that we are talking about; we are talking about something like the probability of one microscopic component of your appliance's flash of light scattering off or being absorbed by a microscopic component of said window (for example, in part of the spectrum in which the window is not transparent), where calculating that probability considers an infinity of possible paths.

Indeed, an infinity of the path-integral trajectories of one such photon (that classically is definitely intercepted by the window) will go out to infinity, an infinity of those trajectories will go out to Jupiter, an infinity of them will go to somewhere very near the window pane, an infinity of them will speed up and slow down along the way rather than travel at the speed of light at all times, etc. We then want to assign a probability to each of these paths.

The idea is that trajectories that are not like a classical path between appliance and window are suppressed because (somewhat technically) they [a] have the same magnitude of probability amplitude, but [b] have different phases, [c] different changes in trajectory have different changes in phase, and [d] for "longer" paths compared to the classical one, a small change of trajectory makes a big change in the action compared to Planck's constant, so [e] for sets of small changes in "longer" paths the phases change rapidly and thus are highly likely to cancel out. So most of those infinities are effectively irrelevant and we can focus on the smaller infinities that make a marginal-to-relevant change to the total probability amplitude and figure out a way to calculate it from them (e.g. by sampling).
But the story is that he WAS injured. So fine, let's say it's minor and he's jacked up on adrenaline and doesn't notice.

And as Booth is being a Marvel action hero (a man in his 40s), everyone is standing around twiddling their thumbs? Including the military detachment outside. The story is not realistic on any level.
Going a bit further... the AI tooling will also be used elsewhere, in things that not-just-students read. So writing style will potentially drift/evolve to be like AI writers, and this will muddy the detection efforts. I know I've noticed numerous times how I pick up on and start using phrasing (and other tells automatically), matching what others do over the years.

Of course, I wouldn't be particularly surprised if the above effect doesn't manifest. It's very dependent on how much AI writing spreads across numerous areas, and whether kids-these-days do any measurable amounts of long-form reading.
I feel like most of my creative problem solving happens when I'm not working on the problem. There seems to be, roughly speaking, a three part process:

* A loading phase where I immerse into the problem. This requires silence and concentration. Basically staring at the problem and its various aspects for a few hours. Hmm. What if? No. But maybe. Nope. Hmm. Hmm. The problem will often seem too big to fit in my head. I can sort of fumble and grasp its outline, but I don't see it clearly.

* A background processing phase, this requires a sense of almost boredom. I need to step away from the keyboard. A disengagement from further input, from intellectual stimuli in general. I can't distract myself with entertainment either. I must be a bit bored.

* All the sudden there will be clarity, deep insight into what needs to be created. Like the microwave going bing, signalling the cooking is ready. I'll solve not only one problem, but half a dozen. The solutions come faster than I can implement them. I need to pace myself and write my ideas down before I implement them.

It's a heck of a ride.
The Netherlands sounds amazing if that's how they communicate. That's how I communicate but I'm surrounded by the fakeness of America lol
Conservation of energy is what makes it possible, once the ship is moving you keep drawing energy from the wind.

here’s a small windpowered boat sailing https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nr7g-03iclA

You can also use more powerful wind from high above the sea. This article is on using high altitude kites for power.

I wonder if XP helps through pair programming. Managers get to code and also get to mentor juniors at the same time.
> > Most FP persistent data structures take the form of a tree and perform a path copy from leaf to root for the change, reusing as much of the tree as possible. What this results in is a single contention point at the root of the tree for CAS operations. Now expand this view to a larger domain model of many entities, e.g. Customers, Orders, Products, etc., all interrelated and that model needs one or more entry points. Each of these entry points become a contention hotspot as the model is mutated. Also with trees and linked lists being the underlying data structures, performance is limited due to indirection causing cache misses.

But the root of a tree is not mutated. Not mutating anything in the whole tree is the whole point. It will be there, until garbage collected (since no one has a reference to it any longer, but only to other versions / other roots). Not sure I am understanding what he is saying correctly.

Maybe he is talking about the kind of "reduce step" which one has to deal with, when all the parallel running functions return results and how to use the results? They might make a new tree-like thing. Sometimes there is no way around a sequential section in the program, since the problem is inherently sequential. But I don't see the contention hotspots.
Physicists don't have math envy; that's an invention of people who are jealous of physicists' "untrained" acumen.

Next we'll hear of "computer science envy" because physicists employ programming in their research. It would be equally absurd, of course.
The editions mechanism is incredibly weak, every time I ask "Can this be fixed with an edition?" The answer is no.
Cedar has a playground that supports much of what you're asking for or were you referring to IAM (AWS specific, and not model policies for your business).

The number of engineers isn’t the limiting factor competing against google, it’s the innovation/talent. While most engineers even at google aren’t working on hard problems, there’s a few who’re solving distributed computing/gfs/page rank/etc and those individuals are definitely not being laid off. The others use their tools to solve business problems.
Engelbart’s dream. A computer, that stores all the knowledge of your company, and of humanity. Always tells you what you need to know exactly when you need to know it. Helps you resolve apparent conflicts in your data. And basically makes sure there’s no human has to waste his time or energy on finding the solution to a problem that has already been solved by someone else before, anywhere on Earth.
These were just some examples. There are hundreds of social clubs to be sifted through, and I'm sure that there are some that would love to have you / align with your personality better than the ones which I've posted! Take a look around your town and see what might be available, you might be surprised at what you see.
This seems like a pretty dramatic use of the word "inhumane" to me.

Not having a window is very disappointing, I agree, but whether it is inhumane or not probably depends on the duration of the stay.
I felt this way after losing my religion. Your situation is different for sure.

But I joined a group workout gym with a local owner and a good community, it’s helped a lot with isolation.

I’m in the process of joining a BNI and, being surrounded by people motivated enough to run their own small business, it’s helping a lot.

I’m going to be meeting up with some folks who run a local hackerspace and do a weekly “coffee and code” - that seems promising and I’m hopeful it’ll help a lot.

All of these have something in common:

* A local business owner decided to start a BNI chapter and get a group of like minded individuals together to talk about business and share referrals

* An employee at a gym was disappointed in how gyms operate and wanted to do better, so started a space to bring people together around their interests.

* A smallish group of local hackers got together to create a shared space where they can geek out together

If you look at that list of social groups and say “I only see spaces for old conservative men” and “there is a poverty of community life” - maybe start a space or group for people like you? Or find people who are already doing that. Unless someone creates that space and brings people in it’s not going to exist.

Having the spaces OP listed isn’t mutually exclusive with the existence of any other social group.
I don't understand why this cannot be done ,
One just had to calculate the vector and displace cube by said amount . I think I'm missing something ?
I understand this clearly is something you feel strongly about, but do you think this is somehow drastically different from using other tools for doing secondary research? As in, using an index tool (like the Dewey decimal system, or Google) to surface previously performed work, so you can then summarize it?

There is always a line to draw, why is this the point where you think it is important to draw a line?
This comment shows an extremely privileged perspective.

Most corporate jobs are paying just enough to afford a [deleted: decent] place to live, [deleted: a vacation, and then putting away a few thousand in savings].
I’d be happy if I’m wrong about this but I don’t think you can get a reproducible Node.JS build or python build from NixOS out the box. You need to build something on top of it.
I tried the really hard way with a RK3288 (Asus TinkerBoard).

After about a month I had a barely working uboot built from unpatched official sources.

After two months I still didn't have a bootable kernel built from unpatched official sources.

- with power regulator drivers, the board powers itself off while booting

- without power regulator drivers, it boots the kernel, but there's no power to usb, ethernet and wifi.

What I learned: To stay away from Rockchip.
Yeah well Lincoln was the OG dictator. He'd rather kill than allow free association of the states.

Some people think the US died during the New Deal. No it died when Lincoln and the Supreme Court denied the right of secession. The states would have never entered the Union if it were made explicit the federal government would become what it has, and that they'd entered in a trap one way valve. If entering the Union was irrevocable it should have been spelled out when they joined rather than enforced retroactively.
Meetup can be this for younger folks, but you have to be willing to put in the work to organize and be the first-mover. Find things you want to do, then make open events, effectively inviting random people to them. Bar trivias, karaoke, hikes, etc. are all fairly easy to coordinate and they will attract other people who are also wondering “how do I even make friends now?”

EDIT: Also, always make an effort to talk to the new people that join your events, because other people in the group will tend to mostly talk with those they feel comfortable with. It makes new folks feel welcome and they’ll want to come back :)
But is there freedom of access to social systems?

Did it though? All I see here is having someone else do the work, and you making sure it looks about right. They found it some of it doesn't work properly so they had to actually do the work themselves.

Seems all they learned was to improve the questions to feed the bot, not ant critical thinking skills.
This is very cool. I'm the creator of Mito [1] -- we're also building a data visualization tool in JupyterLab. The Tabluea approach that you took is really interesting! Going to send you a message -- would love to learn more!

He can often exercise some rather strong opinions due to: (1) he's right, (2) he misunderstands the product or a feature but claims it's an issue, or (3) some arbitrary reason based upon the name printed on the product.

That's fair, although I would say the same is true for most (if not all) people commenting on this topic! Myself included as far as that goes. I am, for example, a fan of Hakko kit (I use a Hakko soldering station as well as the aforementioned FR-301 desoldering gun) and am an unabashed Rigol fanboi when it comes to test equipment. Rigol made my oscilloscope, bench multimeter, lab power supply, programmable load, signal generator, and spectrum analyzer. Outside of Rigol I'm also a fanboi for old HPAK (HP/Agilent/Keysight) kit. I have an HPAK logic analyzer, modulation domain analyzer, frequency counter, and dynamic signal analyzer. And I'm still lusting after an HP 3458a one of these days.

That said, I try to avoid falling into complete fanboy'ism when recommending stuff to others. There are lots of good brands out there for most things!

I have been doing a lot of research lately for some entry level gear that will last and suit my needs without breaking the bank, and it's very difficult to sort through inaccuracies and biases against certain gear.

No doubt. For me, the pattern I fell into is reflected in what I wrote above: I buy mostly Rigol kit for anything I buy new. And that's because Rigol strikes me as a good compromise between cost, quality / functionality, and "hackability."

And then for more specialized / niche stuff, if I can find a used HPAK instrument for a good price on Ebay or whatever, I'll go with that. So far I feel like that strategy has allowed me to get my lab kitted out fairly nicely, without breaking the bank. But I'm sure even my lab would seem extravagant to somebody, especially the prototypical "starving college student".
In a speech to a room of over 50s the quantity of early retired person is near enough to 0.

Messaging that the kidz and the early retired (aka someone else) need to do their bit for the country will make the 99% of people in the audience that are employed and working hard feel like the true patriots trying to save the country from the forces of evil that they are.
It's less that they dropped the ball so much as locked it behind a large gate embossed with a dollar symbol and behind it live compute monsters like the Instinct MI2XX line/CDNA2 (and soon their successors!).

But in the consumer space, yeah, Nvidia is a no-brainer if you want GPGPU.
There was a large tech company I know of which had a practice of laying people off a giving everyone else a raise. I don’t know if it helped any but it seemed quirky and interesting at the time
> The second company recognized my value and gave me a very generous raise. Unfortunately for them, shortly after that I got an offer I couldn't refuse.

So they only recognized a portion of your value.
With the Daily mail, no one knows...
It'll be cheaper for the school, the parents or the social services to provide you access to an AI tutor than to more human instruction. Already, learning games can prevent or cure (some) learning disabilities via engagement and repetition in a cost-effective way.
how is using generative AI tools immoral?
Yes "as long as only everyone who agrees with me is angry, and no one else gets angry in response, everything will work out fine".

This is the key phrase. There are ways to use LLMs to help with both research and writing that don’t involve surrendering your own part in the process.

Research with LLMs is often much better than search engines for surface level information. You should accept nothing that they say as truth, but they will often turn up names, book titles, etc that you can follow for more information.

Editing with LLMs is great - they were born for it. “What is a more expressive way to say ‘Lincoln’s presidency was a time of great change for the United States’?”, etc.
We got what's supposed to be a good one of the add-on kind, and I expected to really like it, but instead I hate it. It makes the toilet quite a bit harder to clean and I don't see any way that it's not just spraying old shit-flecks and piss drops at me, which will surely find their way to the nozzle with some regularity.

I think I'd really like a proper, separate bidet, but it turns out I hate the bolt-on kind.
Using AI output isn’t plagiarism. Finders keepers. You push the button, you get the copyright, just like a camera.

Now, whether it is ghostwriting is another matter.
Yes, people are different, but you'd imagine that organizations promoting nativist ideology and religious education in schools might also very likely not resonate with a more highly-correlated-with-atheism hackernews crowd, no?

The point being, the offered easy solutions aren't undeserving of critique and we can discuss real reasons people might not be joining these dying institutions. There was an issue in framing and I discussed it.

A la the other conmments around not wanting to hang exclusively with senior citizens, or ham radio not offering the kind of bustling community one might want. Perhaps there's are reasons said organizations are struggling and a reason why people might feel the choice to find meaningful community isn't always easy, when it's disincentivised in society.
mitmproxy also has some nice tools for working with raw protobufs.
Show HN: My Leapml.dev Hackathon Entry
Heyo! I did a hackathon this weekend for leapml.dev.

I've owned aiart.fm for a while and have been meaning to turn it into "Dribbble for ai generated art". I've been putting it off but the leapml.dev api made it really easy so I built out an initial POC in a few days.

The site allows you to run any Stable Diffusion model in the browser. It currently supports:

Stable Diffusion 1.5
Open Journey V1
Open Journey V2
Modern Disney
Future Diffusion

This week I'll add the ability to do prompt based image edits as well as the ability to fine tune your own model right in the browser.

The most novel thing I'm probably doing is using GPT-3 to categorize and tag each generation which will allow me to more dynamically filter and sort in the future. You can view prompts, seeds, and all the different parameters of every image.

Enjoy some free AI image generation on my dime ;D. More to come!
well, I disagree. I think that entertaining the argument will not turn civilised people into your rendition of the devil, and I think that nothing should be out of bounds for discussion.

I could not argue for letting people suffer and not helping them, I'm not a lunatic. Would the argument that they are unfit for current conditions hold some merit ? Perhaps. I cannot know, and neither can you. It is a far too complex topic to firmly attest an opinion on, especially with our limited current knowledge. Is that an extra reason that this makes it an interesting topic to discuss ? I think so.

The extrapolation to genocide from a simple discussion is akin to calling everyone with different opinions a nazi. It's plain silly.
It would be interesting to know why are C-level executives acting to the detriment of the company (by wasting $ on unnecessary office rentals/purchases/maintenance)? Isn't that illegal? Shareholders will not be amused.
Some people here seem to worship "progress" as a new-age god, so they'd probably be chiding. Unfortunately for that crowd, moving fast and breaking things works well for them up until they break too many things, at which point everything breaks. It wouldn't surprise me if the story of the next few decades is the age of hubris finally falling flat.

So I see what you mean -- some clubs definitely have "networking event" vibes. Others have "sit around and chat" vibes, "go have a drink and maybe some fries" vibes, "volunteer at a local org" vibes, etc. It all depends on what you're looking for, and it all depends on what you're interested in. There's no real set agenda that we can apply to all of these clubs -- as similar as they may seem, they do have a diverse set of goals that they try to achieve.

I would guess shader compiler output microcode quality. It's not hard to imagine that Blender's workloads for "offline" renders are wildly different from game workloads and have not been prioritized in analysis of the shader compiler performance.
I used to be told I needed to learn cursive. My parents had to learn how to operate a typewriter.

All of this is just various levels of abstraction. It’s still your responsibility to manage the final outcome, which is a far distance from “assembling words.”
The rhetorical device is worthless in my opinion, we need to implement workable policy suggestions that solve real problems.

The petrochemical industry will not be sunsetted in our lifetimes. That is not a reasonable thing to expect or want. At most we can somewhat reduce the use of fossil fuels for power, heating, and transportation. Use of fossil fuels as chemical feedstocks will increase.

Please stop with the flagrant "AI" fearmongering over LLMs and other current-generation ML software. Not only are they not Skynet now, I do not believe it will be possible for simple iteration on this type of ML software to create anything remotely like Skynet.

I feel like this is especially the case right now for image generation. I can craft queries for chatGPT pretty reliably for the precise thing that I need. But Midjourney seemed to require real skill that I don't possess.

i had an anal fissure for some time (6 weeks) and it was also unbearable. opiods didn't help at all. the drs told me something about them not working in that part of the body. hot baths several times a day. they wanted me to insert some cream up there using my pinky, which just make the pain worse by re-aggravating the area. I'm still not sure how it eventually healed, but I really started to understand why people in chronic pain would consider suicide.
