> the pedants who have come out in force

The only reason this made the top of the front page is because this was written in a way that seems intentionally deceptive in order to make you click. I'd argue the author is being a pedant even more, and did it first. Had they used a more honest title, people wouldn't be upset. But then it wouldn't have made the front page.

I hate this trend in journalism that can be summed up as: "I'm going to frame something in a confusing, counterintuitive way, then explain it in a straightforward way, in order to make you think I'm smart and make you think you've learned something really complex." I see everywhere else on the Internet. HN is supposed to filter this out.
Okay, but you have another post in this thread with:

> When these LLMs get normalized probably 5 years from now I'm going go back to these old threads and contact these people who are in self denial and throw it in their face. I'll just link this comment and be like I TOLD YOU, I TOLD YOU, YOU WERE WRONG.
That’s probably a far more traceable operation using those approaches though.
>palm oil is less than ideal

Why do you say this? Just curious. Palm oil is one of the better plant oils, no?
In 50 years people will think of many of our cultural norms, exclusions and rules were horrific.

50 years after that ...

For example, I think in 100 years acts like murder will be classed as a mental health issue and treated rather than "punished" (tho societal exclusion may remain).
> First task is getting some static data out of a few dusty html tables deep in the intranet and dumping it on a new table in the dev DB

For something like this, the first thing I'd do is extract the first row manually in Vim, recording my actions as a macro, then use that macro to extract the rest. That would take a few minutes tops, depending on the structure of the data it might take seconds or there might be a bit more massaging necessary, but no more than about 5 minutes for this step. I have a keybinding that maps execution of the macro in the q register to the spacebar to streamline this process; I double-tap q to start recording, press q again to stop recording, and press/hold the spacebar to execute that q macro. In my experience, 2 or 3 passes are usually enough to cleanly extract a table of data from some random HTML page.

If the job was a once-and-done, then I'm already done. If I am meant to be creating something that can be re-used later, then I still do the above anyway and now I have the result with which to test whatever more permanent solution I'm writing.
Diplomatic immunity is absolute. Even committing war crimes doesn't rescind it.

His diplomatic immunity will lapse once he's no longer the head of state however.

EDIT: Pretty sure that they are personas-non-grata in each other's country at this point, which is a specifically described scenario in the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.

So no, of course Zelensky couldn't enter Russia and expect nothing to happen. An Putin couldn't enter Ukraine with the expectation that his immunity will hold.

But both of them could enter any 3rd country with a reasonable expectation of that.

Artificial Intelligence Should Help Vet New Research
Awesome! Speaking up and being part of some positive impact is commendable and satisfying. Getting a nice call from a leader to acknowledge that is a tickling story on top.
This is just kind of an elitist (kind of!) rant by a coder - all of which I can understand and mostly agree with because I’m a coder too. But any specialist could make the same case for people outside their area of expertise.
Some people prefer manual transmissions in their vehicles and will chit on people who drive automatics.

The difference being most software/tech workers largely make their salary from non-tech savvy consumers so I don’t know, maybe some more perspective is needed in dealing with “normal people”.

But also helping out with printers and stuff is lame, as mentioned I understand where author is coming from.

Edit: I guess my point is - rants are totally fine if labeled as such but this doesn’t seem very constructive to me. Hopefully us tech savvy individuals can help level up everyone else
I run several blogs.

1. Tech posts and personal experiences. I've been reached out to for custom projects and can bill pretty well. My work sells itself and the interview/introductory phone call usually is just to make sure scope makes sense and velocity/speed to complete. It is nothing unique or unusual, just routine stuff that ranks high on google SEO.

2. I post about my travel. I get people that email me and I can sometimes meetup like minded people that enjoy similar hobbies. One of a cycling blog, mostly in Asia and West Coast USA. Sure there are facebook groups for cities, but I've been pleasantly surprised at the people that found it.

3. Related to travel, just random restaurants and opinions/talk pieces. Sometimes grocery store photos and things that are for sale in A but never can be in B. Nothing interesting from this one, unfortunately except that people suggest I should just put it on instagram. Great filler for conversation if I don't want to express my Tech background.

The tech site is great, because my main email which is my name, is the websites domain, so people always take a curiosity glance. It doesn't fully weigh in on a standard job application, but it does count as passion.

I question if it's really passion, I've just enjoyed breaking stuff and fixing it, and I've documented what I do simply because why not - I wanted to really see how many hours I spend on a computer being productive.
Surprised that the first one did not start by "taking full responsibility".
I read the Wikipedia article about Scansion and I still don't understand it.
It’s a full-on trend in the US to feed these to your baby to prevent peanut allergies. My daughter probably ate her own weight in Bamba.
The LLM can act as a global cache for common solutions to common problems, with the ability to perform the integration work necessary to apply them.

That prime number example is a little bit like when you put a functools.lru_cache decorator on a function in Python. It's faster than computing the function call because it's able to recall the return value for the parameters from the cache "memory".

Of course, many skilled programmers are also mainly used a cache for common solutions to common problems organizations have in the programming domain. As humans we can derive satisfaction from being able to tackle the same task others can, as a confirmation of our own progress. We like "doing it ourselves". But globally that's not super interesting if lots of people are constantly re-developing the same solutions to the same problems for their own benefit. I guess that's the push-and-pull (and the anxiety generator).
You can't compare entertainment (music) with journalism. The economics are completely different. You'll listen to the same song dozens of times, you're not going to read the same news article dozens of times, for example.

I guess it does say a lot about the state of the press if people conflate the two so easily, though.

Google comes up with nothing but this HN post. It looks like it could be an entry in the Obfuscated C code contest.
>marginally lower chance that Putin continues to run Russia through a hand picked stooge of a successor.

Your three options are Putin, Putin's Stooge and "whoever overthrows Putin"

I think the middle option is valuable because it gives Putin's less expansionist and more trade inclined henchmen an opportunity to leverage fear of the third toward an outcome that is good for everyone but Putin but less bad than the third.
I've seen 3 major benefits:

- It has helped me to clarify my thinking on many leadership, management, and product strategy topics

- I now have a library of reference materials that I draw from fairly regularly (at least 1-2x per month)

- I've found advisory/angel investing opportunities with strong companies from it

> Here’s the truth. We do not need this treadmill to learn and be educated. We do not need this conveyor belt to package and transport kids to success in an adult world.

These are two very different statements.

We’ve known for a very long time that we don’t need schools to learn and a lot of kids might learn a lot more and better outside classroom/school settings.

But, being educated is not at all the same as having “success in an adult world”.

There’s plenty of highly educated people who struggle in the adult world. And there’s also plenty of uneducated people who have great success.

I don’t think this is an education issue and hence cannot be solved by education alone.
In the abstract, bad news should be delivered candidly and succinctly. Giving people some reasoning might help, but it might not, and it shouldn't be the lead, the bare bad news is the lead.

Adding fluff, euphemisms, and indirection is disrespectful to the people affected.
I think the US would have gained much more clout by imposing sanction on NS2 usage. Politically, it would've been better.
Been a suspicion of many for quite a while that the rise of "don't give babies nuts or nut-based products, they might die!" advice and going from one nut allergy per school to one per class wasn't coincidental, but was caused by precisely that reduction in early exposure. Folk-wisdom nets a win, this time, I suppose.
Applying maximum pressure to Russia requires issuing these warrants even if they’re unlikely to successfully bring him personally to justice. The relative sway doesn’t matter, I’m just doing what I can to send a message that these actions are not okay.

I live in New Zealand, and we have a healthcare system that’s free to use (YMMV). It’s creaking, but the situation in the US really doesn’t seem to suit anyone, nor even the rich.
When I was a bored and under-challenged student in the early days of university, one of my tests during a programming exam was to write a program that spit out the factorial of an input integer.

For shits and giggles, I just just wrote a series of `if...then` statements for 0 to 5, and only actually calculated the factorial for inputs >=6. I passed after the examiner just input 3 and 5 and was satisfied that the output was correct. Oops.
> It was hammered into my when I first learned that you should only ever have one exit in your code, anything else is bad practice.

Yes. This rule was an overreaction to a pervasive problem back in the day.

But, much like the use of "goto"s, there are times where your code is more readable, maintainable, and efficient if you ignore the prohibition. The trick is to know when that's the case.
Yea absolutely. I use a Linux desktop day-to-day, and a 6 year old ThinkPad on the go, but I'm a software engineer, not a creative professional. If I were a photographer by trade, I would certainly have a MacBookPro too.
Destiny 2 Downloadable Content Suddenly Results in Copyright Strikes
> I think the general trend is that actual useful applications are emerging from enormous models trained and owned by billion dollar companies only.

One way to think about it: Today's LLMs require incredible outlays of capital and processor power (and crews of folks with doctorates), such as billion dollar companies can provide. But how is that different from what Intel brought to commodity CPUs in the '90s/'00s, or what Nvidia brought to GPUs in the '00s/'10s? Or even what Cisco and folks brought to networks?

Though we may never design an artisanal CPU/GPU/router, we get to work with them every day to make things, and to communicate. These LLMs can be that for us at this moment. Let's go out and enjoy them, and see what we can make within their (vast) domain-specific capabilities.

[takes off rose-tinted glasses]
I don't see what point you're trying to make. Sure, we could make education better by spending more on it, but the voters don't want to, so it's not going to happen. Given that society is not willing to spend more on education what can we do with the budget we have?

If it can take natural language purpose descriptions and generate new functioning protein then due to it's training, it evidently understood the relationship between purpose and protein structure. Meaning all the little models it builds as a result of training are concrete. They can produce new things and new information and it's just matter of scale and intelligence.

"akin to generating grammatically and semantically correct natural language sentences" is just an indicator of how it is synthesizing and producing this information. To say it is analogous to generating sentences in the abstract is like saying generating new theorems is analogous to generating sentences. Well yeah, that's what the language model is doing. The power lies in what it is generating. What they are telling you is that they skipped the folding process entirely and just let the model figure out function to structure directly.

Either your dog fetches what you throw at it or not. The idea of "pretend fetching" is unbelievably silly. Doubly so when no one seems to be able to actually define this act. A distinction that can't be tested for is not a distinction. Science is concerned with results not vague and ill defined assertions.

Someone who wants to injure themselves can easily do so. Figuring out the risks or more information just allows people to make a more informed decision. In a way this can reduce harm in that it allows people to apply the level of injury to themselves that they wasnt.

Dropping Packets from Unikernels
For this community it might be useful to stress that the vast majority of practicing theoretical physicists is not in the least worried about any interpretation of quantum mechanics.

I would argue that the idea instead is to try to make predictions for future experiments. In the case of quantum gravity, especially string theory, these might be thought experiments (what happens if you fall into a black hole), technically infeasible experiments (what would a particle accelerator with the size of the solar system produce), or even completely hypothetical (what if the universe would have eleven macroscopic dimensions) but that does not change the underlying mindset.

When it comes to the interpretation of quantum mechanics there is just nothing left to explain. There is no experiment that decides between different interpretations, so that is it as far as most physicists are concerned.

The ideas in the linked article suffer from the same fate: there does not seem to be even a hypothetical way to test them, and the topic is therefore considered one of philosophy more than physics.
So here are a few screenshots that I personally took after telling it that it was a linux terminal:

Correctly produces a convincing output for having decoded the base64-encoding of "ping google.com" and then piping it to bash:

Similar command, but with a garbage domain it hasn't seen before, and a less well-known domain. It produced convincing output in both cases:

Having it just output a base64 decoding of an obviously unique string. Fascinatingly, it tried to correct typos that I intentionally included:

I asked chatgpt to explain the comment:

The comment is referring to GPT's ability to scan and analyze the meter or rhythm of poetry. Scansion is the process of analyzing the poetic meter by marking the stressed and unstressed syllables in each line.

The comment implies that there were two instances where GPT failed to accurately analyze the meter of two different poems in a single day. This may suggest that GPT is not proficient in scanning poetry or that it may not be the best tool for analyzing the meter of poetic works.
At least in the social sciences not so abstract. There are certain behaviors that can just be explained as emergent, rather than individual behaviors. That might be crowd, market, group, politics, culture (with art, language, fashion, taboos, etc.).
I used to work at a food/recipe publication and had a similar experience -- users constantly complained that they wanted more healthy recipes, but those types of recipes always performed poorly. Meatloaf and other comfort foods dominated traffic.

This has been a good opening for niche creators on Youtube and such -- i.e., there are plenty of people out there interested in vegan, oil-free recipes, and that audience can go to a specialist on Youtube and the creator can be successful covering only that one niche. But in aggregate it's not going to outperform food that provides more dopamine, so the major food publications have to deprioritize it.
The Author feels like something I'd read on /r/LinkedinLunatics.

The objective of the mRNA shot for covid-19 is to make the person produce a antibodies that trap the covid-19 when it appears later. I think that for an allergy you want less antibodies, but an mRNA shot gives you more antibodies.

Also, I'm not sure what part of the peanut butter is the more important for the allergy. If it is a protein, perhaps a mRNA shot can make it better/worse, because the mRNA shot make some of your cell produce a protein.

If the allergenic substance in peanut butter is not a protein, I think it would be more difficult to make a mRNA shot that is good/bad.
The fault is also with VCs who mandated that portfolio companies concentrate large uninsured deposits in one bank, increasing the risk of a run. The bank to my knowledge didn’t even offer insured cash sweeps, a basic financial product for deposits above 250k.

There is a clip I saw on twitter as this was happening of Jason Calacanis bragging insufferably about his special treatment from SVB in obtaining quick and favorable terms for a private mortgage, likely thanks to the amount of business he and other investors brought the bank.

So no, I reject your claim that the same people that would design Class A shares to be inferior to Class B shares, then say “no takesy backseys!” when executing a hostile takeover of your company are not at fault here.

How can a discipline that prides itself in superior networking ability, information gathering, and prudent decision making not be at fault for pooling a stupid amount of wealth in the first bank to go broke post COVID bubble?
Manipulations more likely include those of NYTimes manipulations of history, such as the 1619 Project. Questionable texts as these become part of the corpus and the next thing that happens is a child is taught an extreme left propaganda piece.

So it's iwlwifi specifically.

>i should add that this happens on both windows and linux but at least on linux i had a way of disabling LAR so my regulatory domain gets detected properly and all the wifi channels/widths works as they should.

>[...]
on all 5.3 and earlier kernels, using lar_disable=1 all my channels work and i get a full 1733mbps link speed (5ghz ch.36 at 160mhz)as shown here

So it's not a Linux-specific issue. Rather it seems to be buggy firmware, and a method that OP was relying on to work around that bug was disabled because it was causing other issues with said buggy firmware.
You could have made that same argument about memory and recall skills prior to search engines. But I'm not sure anyone is now arguing search engines have been detrimental to working intelligence.
I'm rooting for option 3 at this point. He's tainted everyone around him.
I feel very frustrated with these takes because instead of grappling with what we're going to do about it (like having a conversation) it's a flat, dismissive denial, and it isn't even grounded in the science, which says that "memory augmented large language models are computationally universal". So at the very least we're dealing with algorithms that can do anything a hand written program can do, except that they've been trained to do it using natural language in extremely flexible ways. I'm having a hard time seeing how "fancy autocomplete" is the right description for this.
