The paper is written in scathing tones, by page 11 I was laughing at each new report of QED's 'perfect' agreement with whatever was the latest experimental result for the electron's anomalous magnetic moment although as it continued as far as page 14, it became sobering. However, the recent discrepancies are way down in the decimal points of the result now; when these calculations require 1000s of complicated Feynman diagrams and pages and pages of calculation, errors seem inevitable. My hope is that an alternative approach can be found that avoids these complicated calculations and in fact, researchers already seem to be working on this [1].

I’ve frequently been the ‘final assembly programmer’ for projects that were started by some fresher that got to what looked like 90% done by management but it was unsound underneath and that last 10% took 50% or more of the work.

There is nothing I find more fatiguing than pushing a bubble around underneath a rug in a system that eventually has to be carefully taken and inspected bit by bot and a huge amount of work put into figuring out what exactly is wrong with it and fixing it.

I’m afraid the ChatGPT enthusiast is going to walk away from a looming disaster thinking they and ChaptGPT is so brilliant, probably never realize the harm they did, and if they do they’ll be contemptuous of the low-status ‘grinds’ who take so long to make things right.
No, it already happened in our frame of reference. Our frame of reference, in special relativity, is a spacelike slice through the universe, “now” is what we would conventionally think of as “now”, and light moves at the speed of light.

In general relativity, things get weird and frames are more of a local phenomenon, but as long as you stay away from the event horizon, it’s not that weird.
> They’re sharing fantasies about using AI to create every step of your business, from coming up with the idea to writing email campaigns to helping them write all of the code. They share examples of high profile success stories that claim someone used ChatGPT to make a business from scratch with zero experience and now they’re making five or six figures per month without having to know anything.

It's not 5 figures (yet), but thanks to ChatGPT my cousin was able to set up a small webshop that generates some business for him. My cousin (never been to college) is not exactly a prolific writer so was always struggling to write good copy. ChatGPT allowed him to write email campaigns, blog posts and product descriptions so his website actually looks very professional. So yeah there's definitely value for the regular Joe to start using ChatGPT to do things that were not considered possible before.
Nice! I've been waiting for something like the FairPhone to show up in the US.

A sweet bonus would be if they also provided and fully supported de-googled image or at least had an option to download the de-googled image after accepting some disclaimers. Or perhaps even set up a public community for phone hackers to help them build said image i.e. crowdsource the work.

An optional large shell for a bigger battery would be a nice upgrade too. My current phone has a 10,000mAh battery and lasts a very long time after disabling background networking on most apps.
> Can one argue that the random initialization of a model is akin to this starting point?

It's a starting point but it's random, unlike the starting point of a human being which is very very not random.
this reminds me of an old joke about how the only people who made money from the gold rush were those selling the shovels.
I see market for shovels here when it could generate cookie cutter webapps like wanapreneur writes "I want facebook for puppy owners" - Ka-B00m AI generated site they pay $100 earn nothing on it but there are 200 of guys with the same idea maybe with different domain/color scheme.

It most likely does not have to be generated at all just a template with some modifications. I earn too much and I am too lazy to do that - hope no one picks the idea.

It's kinda like selling shares for an airport during Kitty Hawk in 1903. Is this a big monumental thing? Yes, I believe so. Is it going to produce cheap flights around the world (relative to 1903) in a few years? No, a huge amount of work still needed done.
Somehow i believe the critiques and opponents of the current AI wave are as much prone to hallucinating their critique as is ChatGPT with facts.
If they offer no information, you can think as long as you want, you still have to make a random guess.
It is just the reckoning happening man. Socially we taught at least gen x forward untruths about the life cycle of relationships. Turns out the religious monogamy for life guys got it more right for more people than the consumerist sex without consequence for all time crew over the whole life cycle, even though the consumerist is better for young women and better for successful men of most ages.
You already need to open the command line and disconnect the internet at just the right moment to be able to install windows 11 without an account. You can't start without an online connection, so it's not as as easy as just airgapping the install from the get go (at least on the normal ISO provided by microsoft). I like windows but that was extremely annoying when I needed Win11 in a VM.
Are you suggesting drinking directly from the top of the aeropress?!

Textual 0.12.0 adds syntactical sugar and batch updates
Wanted to shime in on this since we are big supporters/users of deno and building an OSS enterprise-grade platform for a self-hosted lambda that runs deno scripts among others [1].

I think this is unfair because npm has its own set of issues, most notably, if anyone were to sneak up a non obvious trojan horse into the dependency chain, it would take a few weeks to be detected and millions of servers would already be compromised. You can do this with deno too but the norm is to use pinned version and a deps.ts, it takes a bit more than just an innocent npm install to break things.

The real security for scripts is in the sandboxing, permissioning model and providing self-contained scripts that you can read and analyze in one go. So far, node doesn't offer that experience yet. Deno is the leader of innovation in that specific area. It was a bold move and that it is moving back to node compatibility has a lot more to do with network effect and first mover advantage than an inherently bad design.

Bun is likely to have made the correct move by focusing on performance and node compatibility from a business/adoption standpoints (and we will add bun to our supported env as a consequence), but from a security perspective, deno is still the cutting-edge.

Sure just let your competitors do that hard work instead.

A critical production piece of code can be replaced safely if a comprehensive test suite can ensure feature parity. It’s a lot of work but if people rely on it may as well test anyways. The tests will survive the upgrade.
Saying an OS is bad is offering nothing when it’s factually incorrect.

It’s not an argument nor should it be used as such.
I think lying about the fate of these shoes is pretty bad and destroys trust. I’d think twice about recycling. “Here’s why that’s a good thing!” doesn’t cut it for me.
No point in getting dizzy offering feedback. The article was probably written with ChatGPT.
>I am not familiar with Python Object Model enough but, if your Python example still allocates an object with slots for all 47 other fields besides the three selected, then you may still find yourself under circumstances you would rather have a "slim" version of the model and reduce memory allocation.

Honestly at that point probably don't be using python. ORM objects don't use slots, they use a hashmap to look up everything every time, and probably that hashmap points to a method that points to another hashmap that points to some kind of data structure.

If you're worried about that than django probably is not for you. That being said it scales out very nicely, you probably are not loading dozens of thousands of entries in to memory at once but are instead using a celery distributed task queue. If you did need to load that much in to memory for some reason (presumably some kind of data science?) You can use the `in_bulk("field1","field2","etc")` query option to return raw data as dictionaries/lists instead of ORM objects. You don't get the benefit of ORM methods but you're not instantiating an ORM object for every row and probably for that kind of thing you're better off taking a more functional approach any way.

Basically if you're worried about how much memory your data is going to take up you probably shouldn't be using django, hacking __slots__ or other memory efficient stuff into the django ORM is going to be tricky. In that case ignore the ORM and just construct your own objects directly or use something better suited for that.

Extremely low value scammy content
I dropped out after a year of college and have since weaseled my way into a dev position, your observation could not be more true in my experience. I've since strongly considered going back to school for a degree, but as interesting and probably useful some of the material may be, I'm not convinced it's worth it as an investment into making me better at my job.

If only I could use 529 funds on some of these online course providers.

Don't pretend to be stupid. Bed time is a loose choice. People don't carry importance or weight in it. That's why it's easily violated. Becoming a monk and a Buddhist is a life choice. It is indeed a contradiction and it is indeed important to know why.such a contradiction exists.
Idk, meetings can be stresful sometimes. 99% waste of time combined with 1% being put on the spot where if you accidentally say something stupid could have significant consequences (e.g. maybe you just agreed to a bunch of extra work. Maybe you just accidentally undermined someone, etc).

Of course depends on corporate culture.

It’s easy to confuse productivity with performance. But they are not the same thing.

Have you ever had a full day of meetings and you say to yourself “wow, I was so productive today”. But really what work was performed? If you’re an IC probably very little.
Errors are not inevitable if these calculation are automized. And I would be very surprised if they are not.
I think of the story from Lem’s Cyberiad about the 8 story high ‘thinking machine’ that insisted 2+2=5, got angry like the Bing chatbot when it was told it was wrong, then broke loose from its foundations and chased Trurl and Klapucius into the mountains.

People will learn the hard way there is no market for machines that get the wrong answers. There are plenty of places where people will accept one kind of imperfection or another and that’s fine, but when it comes to an accounting bot that screws up your taxes it is not fine.

(Funny I have seen a few chatbots that claim they are busy as soon as you tell them they are wrong about something and I wonder if that is because they’ve been trained on many examples where things really went south when somebody called out somebody’s mistake.)
I've tried to read it, and while I can see it's an entertaining read, at the same time it reads like a long string of chemical compounds and formulas being read. I'd only recommend it if you have a better grasp of and interest in chemistry than I have.

I believe that the FTC has said many times that a claim in advertising can be true, but misleading at the same time, depending on the way it's presented. Search for terms like "Truth In Advertising" or "Deceptive Advertising".

All of this said, I think either the FDA or FTC should probably have a role here and IMO it's not Amazon's job to judge advertising claims.
It's been a while since I harvested them, but that sounds about right. I'd say early-to-mid Fall because I could swear I've seen them close to ripe in September.

I guess it was plastics companies like Dow that convince us that recycling was just as good. I have frequently encountered the attitude of "these single use plastics are ok to use since we can just recycle them". Even under ideal circumstances, recycling uses a lot of energy.
My city has a waste to energy plant. Anything I put in the waste bin gets burned, and the energy is used to generate power or heat for the city.

I have a hell of a time convincing my wife that we ought to just chuck all plastics into the waste rather than stick them in the recycling bin, since only God knows where the plastics in the recycling bin end up. Maybe they get recycled, maybe they get dumped onto a smoldering trash mountain in Turkey or maybe they end up floating down the Yangtze. Even if they do get recycled into a fleece sweater or whatever, given what we know about microplastic shedding, do we really want that? Just burn the shit and recover the energy, I say.
All right, let’s dig deeper, I like your responsiveness.

>a complete rejection of the entirety of all crypto is the only intellectually defensible position.

Oh wow I bet this is going to be an excellent, well reasoned explanation based on a deep understanding that the author has of the underlying technology, applications, and motivations:

>Except for this time they want to wrestle control of money from the state and distribute it to private enterprises.

>we would then have to go to the likes of plutocrats like Jeff Bezos and crypto exchange CEOs to make the final call about foreign policy.

This article is absolute nonsense written by somebody who either has absolutely no understanding of this technology or its application, or is just willfully lying about it.

I agree, as of late I think I have come to realize Warren is extremely cold and calculated and holds his cards close to his chest. I went to the shareholder meeting in omaha in 2017 and felt even then he was much more open in the years prior letters. You'd think he would have touched on inflation, the everything-bubble that was 2021 fueled by out of control government spending. What's the future of unemployment in America? Technology, more color on Apple their largest stock holding (41%[1] of their total portfolio)?

I think one issue is that meetings aren't deliverable. Their benefit is abstract, it does not directly affect the business goals, or the bottom line.

I think another issue is that task switching can be very difficult. If your work day is split up into 1-1.5hr chunks of work, for some of us (myself at least), it is difficult to get enough momentum to steamroll through a task. I find it much easier to work after everyone has left, the pressure decreases and I find myself calm, and with regained control of my wits.
The wiki article says that J&J was using the symbol before the US started enforcing protections on it. So the answer to why it was approved is that there was no law preventing it from being approved.

> Without details

You'd think this small thread you replied to would be enough detail if you were willing to reply in the first place.

Look at my original post. Simply sharing my experience (which is on-topic). It currently sits at -3, while other comments praising moderation here are mostly positive. This is a pattern I am noticing across more than one thread, in more than one day, with more than one user. It's not an anomaly.

Replies to me are from folks lacking self-awareness, who think their experience somehow trumps or invalidates mine. Nobody is directly addressing my concerns. Just brushing them off and piling on.

You should recognize there is a growing majority at HN who perpetuate this "SV" flavor of culture, and you should recognize that your inability to scale efficiently is detrimental to the long term growth of HN. Ironically, against the users most willing to help you do better, you level threats publicly and cite HN rules as if they have any relevance.

Frankly, it seems you are blissfully unaware of how much of an echo chamber exists here, or that you are directly perpetuating it. It's concerning. Flagging comments and downvotes are actively abused for censorship, and you clearly have no idea how to fix it. You think the system is working, what if it has always been horribly broken...?

It's even more concerning that seemingly every other member at HN gets white glove treatment, yet I am still wondering when I will be treated like a human by the staff.

Public funding contributes basic research. Corporations contribute other things, like design for actual use and production, production tooling design, production tooling production, factory space and management, distribution management, warehousing, marketing (yes, you do need to spend money to market it in any economy). And by the way, all this results in paying wages and taxes which go back to the public.

Also, in many cases of publicly funded research, the resulting company is owned or partly owned by the researcher(s), which is one of the incentives for doing the research in the first place.

Utility patents cover that which is new and, in theory, non-obvious (although non-obvious is very poorly enforced based own personal experience). Those would include the "tweaks", which may not be as minor as you think, given the difference between the needs of a product that is to be mass produced, vs. a proof-of-concept laboratory device. Patents might also include the methods of production. Design patents cover the appearance and aesthetics, and are a different type of patent in the US.
You are absolutely right. It is much, much easier to stoop to the average level of morality. And yes, attempting to have standards will certainly limit your earning potential. In the same way that preying on weaker communities around you via war, enslavement and pillaging has been a winning strategy for most of civilization. I truly think capitalism in its current form it immoral. And the fiction of effective altruism as a justification just makes it worse.
As NASA notes:

> "...the Sun - in fact, our whole solar system - orbits around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. We are moving at an average velocity of 828,000 km/hr. But even at that high rate, it still takes us about 230 million years to make one complete orbit around the Milky Way!"

It takes a vast amount of energy for a stable orbiting body to reach the center of mass of the object it is orbiting around, for example that's why the small Parker Solar Probe (launched 2018) required the massive Delta 4 heavy rocket to provide the boost energy:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlyuSwRSVHU

So, 'dragged' isn't really the right way to think about it, is it? If two stars collided there must have been some massive energy input into the X7 object which accelerated it towards the black hole (it might instead have been accelerated away from the black hole, depending on the dynamics of the collision). Hence, 'it was shoved towards the black hole' is perhaps a more accurate view than 'it is being dragged by the black hole'.
No. Too hard to forecast cash flow on the business side. And how would you handle someone paying half then telling you the device broke?
I find this comment a bit odd. I teach CS and our students are required to use LaTeX for everything they hand in (internship report, project work, BA thesis). We also publish everything using LaTeX if possible. There's some conferences which use Word templates (shudder) but mostly it's LaTeX.

Citations and bibliography management are easy, it's super easy to switch from IEEE to Harvard or whatever and as soon as you have diagrams, graphs, tables or formulas it's a no brainer.

Pretty curious why you associate LaTeX with "math only". AFAIK it's absolutely standard to use it in CS. It's also quite easy these days. We provide templates for the students and they usually use Overleaf so there's very little hassle with setting up the entire environment.

I absolutely detest Microsoft, but I think that same argument could be made for most of big tech but especially Google, Microsoft, Apple, Oracle or even the link you provided there selling the book, Amazon.
