The argument is that thermodynamics is simply a statistical phenomenon. Scrambled eggs are due to proteins denaturing (folding in a random way).

Scrambled eggs do actually unscramble spontaneously if you zoom in far enough. The issue is that the rate of scrambling is much higher than the rate of unscrambling so on the whole, you get scrambled eggs.

The amazing thing is that all chemical processes are actually reversible given enough energy and finesse.

Ah yes, of course, just because you never saw it means it never happens. That's definitely why rules exist around this specific thing happening. Because it never happens. Totally.

That's a pretty facile analysis. PBS and NPR both have affiliate models where the dozens of local public radio and tv operate independently and are funded separately utilizing the affiliate network to buy and sell content. They are mostly funded by membership, by government indirectly via CPB grants, and sponsorship.
That's cool, thanks for noting, Alan!

I'm just starting out with blogging, it would help me to get more readers and feedback on this draft. I hope to get it in much better shape in just a few days.

BTW, I'm 99% sure the model uses some form of sparsity, because the competitive pressure for efficiency of inference is just too large. The real question here, of course, is precise engineering details of the sparsity method chosen. I suggest two promising methods as the most likely; it could be either one or both of them together.
These things can all be true at the same time:

* SUVs are useful tools that can serve a real purpose

* Even within the same vehicle classes, cars are getting bigger and heavier in the name of safety and consumer preferences. This is disastrous for the safety of pedestrians and drivers of smaller vehicles

* Most people will never take their SUVs/trucks off-road, or use them for blue collar-type work, or tow anything more than once a year, for which they could easily rent a vehicle

* Thus, barring safety concerns (which are themselves exacerbated by the prevalence of massive vehicles on the roads) or an opportunistic desire for more interior space, most people would be equally well served by smaller cars.

* However, people are not buying smaller cars. This has the effect of “literally killing” sharply increasing numbers of pedestrians every year, and indirectly killing countless others through increased air pollution and greenhouse gas effects.

Back in the late `70s early `80s I lived in Los Angeles and I'd grab some fast food after work and go home and sit down and watch the "News". There was only one channel we could get using an antenna. They had 3 half hour news programs back to back. They started out with local news, then National news, then World news.

Basically they scraped up every bit of "Bad News" they could find. Murders, robberies, car wrecks and natural disasters. After a few months of that I noticed I was getting depressed after consuming all that. I'd wake up feeling fine, go to work and get done and still feeling fine. But after that hour and a half I felt like life sucked.

So I quit watching it and the depression went with it. Since then I've made a point monitor the news and learned to keep that in perspective with what's going on close to me.

BTW, that News station was one of the very 1st to be bought up by "FOX". Since then they pivoted from focusing on tragedy to political outrage, but the effect on ones view of life is obviously very much connected to the "news" they consume, and a great many are attracted to gloom and doom and outrage.
The idea that there are "causes" and that there are "effects", and that these are separate and distinct, is in some way on a parallel with the idea that the past influences the future, and vice versa. If we think that the past influences the future, then it's just as reasonable to think that the future influences the past. Personally, I view "causes" and "effects" as abstractions that we use to help interpret our complicated world, nothing more.

That's not to say that it's not legitimate to talk about causes and effects and to reason using them, but when seriously considered, anything that absolutely looks like definitely a cause or an effect, needs to be considered again with the system boundaries re-drawn, that is to say, with the system boundaries drawn around the whole universe.

Take for example the cigarette lighting the forest on fire. Saying that the cigarette caused the fire is as much of a value judgement and political statement as saying that the decades-long drought caused the fire, or that humans causing global warming caused the fire, or that the cigarette companies caused the fire, or that God caused the fire. The emotional response that each of these statements elicits in various people should tell you that any statement linking cause and effect is emotional and political at its core. This reflects the nature of the humans that create these statements.

We have a built-in tendency to try to assign causes to events and effects. We should zoom out enough to understand that this is part of our humanity, not part of the way that the universe works.
Ask HN: Roast My Startup
Hey HN

Been working on this really hard for quite some time.
Need a reality check.

Remindful is an external memory for people with busy lives.

It's like an endless notebook where you can get instant answers about anything you have stored.
It works in messenger apps like Whatsapp.

I'm guessing this is in the category of "Productivity Apps", the closest competitors seems to be apps like Evernote.

If you use something like Evernote - at some point it becomes really hard to find stuff, you need to start categorizing, creating folders or labels, etc...

With Remindful you don't have to categorize and search, just ask questions.
This is the main differentiator.

Would this be too far out for people to understand?

From last month[1]:

> Twitter deployed code to automatically “greenlight” all of Musk’s tweets, meaning his tweets will bypass Twitter’s filters designed to show people the best content possible. The algorithm now artificially boosted Musk’s tweets by a factor of 1,000 – a constant score that ensured his tweets rank higher than anyone else’s in the feed.

Is Elon really going to make things like this public? Although he has refuted this, so maybe it never existed or has already been removed.

> People will discover many silly things , but we’ll patch issues as soon as they’re found!

So few employees are left, and Musk is increasingly fielding demands from his friends and followers for changes to the recommendation system. Maybe this is an attempt to just crowdsource the bugs.

Yea, I'd imagine comparing a 9 year old version of a language to another would be "mind melting". And you are comparing to Java 8, from before Java re-organized their JEP process to ship features far faster, with a different release philosophy and feature roadmap.

Kotlin is worth picking up, but after seeing the speed at which Kotlin moves compared to how Java moves now, I don't think Kotlin will keep up long term.
This page buries and understates vision-related laser safety:

> It is also recommended not to look directly at the laser beam, to protect the eyes from the UV radiation produced by the discharges, to use hearing protection and to pay attention to the handling of the permanent magnets.

Especially for a page targeted broadly at "science enthusiasts" (in the site's tagline), I'd expect instead to see a glaring red warning at the top, along with effective links to getting this safety.
Some anthropologists suggest that our main evolutionary advantage was not so much our individual ability for reasoning, but our collective capacity to accumulate, evolve and transmit cultural knowledge over the centuries and millennia.

Skills like fire or language, for example, had a major influence in the development of our species and are mainly culturally transmitted: trying to reason your way into creating one or the other from scratch is a surprisingly difficult task.

If that point of view is true, then it shouldn’t be surprising that a large part of what we consider human-like behaviours should be tractable simply by analysing large amounts of data. AI systems are not modelling cognition, but culture.

It was Office 2013. I tried CrossOver on Linux, but found it to be unreliable, unfortunately. It is discouraging that a multi-billion-dollar company can steal from paying customers. Office, with no real features for most users but bloat and incompatibility-by-design (docx, xlsx) added since the 1990s, has become an office surveillance tool. Integrating LLMs will further their monopoly by atrophying our ability to write and—-given enough time—perhaps even our ability to think for ourselves.

Anyone from Micro$oft care to comment? Given the exposure here, this may be the single the most expensive single-user software license Microsoft ever stole.
Godot is (becoming) a very good competitor to Unity. Godot pre-4 was not ready for prime time, but Godot 4 is almost there. I'm pleasantly surprised by the leaps-and-bounds they've made over Godot 3/3.5, and Godot 4 has surpassed Unity in a number of areas (though in some cases, they've been assisted by Unity shooting itself in the foot, such as with Unity's non-existent networking functionality and chaotic approach to render pipeline development).

However, Godot 4 still has a ways to go before it's competitive with Unity in the AA space (meaning, for example, games by studios like Paradox, Amplitude, or miHoYo). Mostly, the asset pipeline still needs a great deal of work. Hopefully the Epic investment will let them reach parity (or exceed) Unity on that front.
>Amazon will ditch Lumberyard for Godot

They are using O3DE now, which actually seems better than godot for 3D at first glance. Only issue so far is there isn't much of a community.

Edit:

>Although I'd also gamble on them acquiring Epic Games.

That is never happening.
This is the best explanation imo.

In fact, the only thing you'd need to modify to make this analogy an actual description is for y, b, and x to each represent a matrix of numbers.
Text blocks, var, records, sealed classes, and pattern matching in instanceof have been out of preview for some time, but two more features -- record patterns (https://openjdk.org/jeps/440) and pattern matching in switch (https://openjdk.org/jeps/441) -- are about to come out of preview.

> In the end, Intel's current LAR implementation hurts users that want to use their hardware within their locale's regulatory limits. It does not prevent intentionally misleading the LAR implementation or acquiring other equipment to be disruptive. To me it seems to achieve very little positive, and I've not even touched the freedom aspect of Linux being violated.

Fully agreed with all this. If there's no existing patch for the 6.2 kernel I'll make my own later today because for whatever reason my Intel wifi card thinks it's not in the US (!!!) and I want it to obey the FCC limits.

>>>It's my understanding in some jurisdiction claiming a drug nexus makes you eligible for certain more attractive sentences or diversions...

It's a more attractive sentence. You're simply lying about my original comment.

You've cited nothing at all, so you're upset about a (May 2022 published) study with data from 2010 vs your mere word that opposes it? You're aware that studies look at data for things that already happened right, not the future?

>And I notice you deliberately avoid mentioning that your study was based on data collected from 2002-2010.

I cited it... the date was right on it. Not hidden. What's even your point here? It's not unusual for an informal citation to not include the date as part of the citation. And even were it I marked the publish date next to the citation it would be '22 and you'd probably still be moaning as '22 isn't the data of the data.

>federal crimes

My original comment indicate "some jurisdictions." Not all. But I will note that the vast majority of people in the US are subject in various capacities to federal jurisdiction, so it seems quite relevant. I guess you could argue the UN Headquarters is exempt, for instance.
It's really not worth the read.

The whole point of the rationalist movement what to develop better intellectual hygiene, which meant taking people at their word and arguing against their ideas in good faith (Scott Alexander being the best demonstration of this).

To see essentially partisan political flame bait penned under the auspices of alleged rationality is pretty off-putting.

I agree with the video's thesis that large trucks and SUVs are unsafe to pedestrians, children, and other drivers even, but the end of the video focuses on trying to change regulations to make these kind of vehicles safer in many respects. The issue is that, at least in the United States, there are so many of these large trucks and SUVs on the road, that even if some safer regulations come in, these vehicles are already on the road in large numbers. In my neighborhood alone, there are more large trucks and SUVs than cars.

I wish that the video concentrated more on things that you can do to protect yourself or others from large trucks and SUVs. I have been hit by a car while cycling before, and it was no fun, but I did at least roll up the hood as described in the video. That will not happen for one of these large vehicles. I try to concentrate on positive things that I can at least control for in cases like these, but I honestly am drawing a blank. Any ideas?
The video basically points the finger at you.
Mine was fueled mostly with pure hatred of wordpress
The guy from the channel doesn't really care about seeming cringe or making videos for people who buy these trucks and SUVs. His audience is people who already agree we need to make change and his content is about providing points, examples of what is wrong, ways it can be improved, and data to back it up.
What they don't tell you is that you cannot just ingest prebiotics and expect it to do anything. You need to do fecal transplant to really have an effect.
Further into the article it mentions that earlier formulations used blood and urine. Other projects have used urine, so it's not shocking.

The bullet point does make it confusing, as it mentions the substitution before we even know it was used in the first place. There's some weird word order issues here and there (for example, "and you have a potentially revolutionary new material" where I believe it should have been "and you potentially have a..."), but I wouldn't think it's AI.
Wikipedia works since the world is full of pedantic sticklers. If you remove the pedantic sticklers then wikipedia would no longer work, it would just be full of bias or bullshit, so we should be thankful for all the pedantic sticklers out there.
Setting aside issues that can be safety related where consumer equipment overlaps with legacy equipment, there is a tragedy of the commons effect to not attempting to regulate radio power limits.

It's incredible how well WiFi works for the amount of power it uses.

Obviously turning up the transmit power makes it better... for that one person. For everyone else, that channel has a little bit more noise than before, making it harder to receive their signal.

So maybe their neighbors will also want to increase their transmit power to get better range / speed again. Having a limit across the board for all mass manufactured devices prevents an escalating spiral of vendors selling 30, then 40, then 50dbm etc routers.

As mentioned elsewhere, different countries have different power limits, but it's more economical to make a single radio for all markets with software power limits. One hypothetical way for a vendor to get a market advantage is to sell a radio that is software limited, but wink wink can be patched with easily googled instructions to increase the power to work better. Maybe by downloading a tool from some sketchy website that even actually works and can be spammed across the internet or social media.

So the FCC has to strongly discourage anything that could lead to lots of radios deliberately exceeding the regulatory limits and disproportionately making the spectrum worse compared to a compliant device.

I don't think that necessarily justifies rather invasive schemes like geolocated AFC, but preserving the use of the radio spectrum so that everyone can make efficient use of it is the FCC's mandate.
I don't really think that's a good counterexample

News of bad event could directly impinge survival. News of a good thing happening to someone far away does not really improve comfort and stability.
Most video essays on youtube are scripted. Do you think that they should all be delivered in a monotone? (I've actually never heard anyone assert that stuff that's read from a script needs to be delivered without any emotion before.)

User agent "sniffing" (I mean, it's right there. It's not exactly subtle.) has been going on since the before the IE6 days. That it now extends to make things easier for us as command line users is... kinda convenient? Another site where I've seen it done to good effect is http://ifconfig.me . Hit that with a web browser and get a page of accompanying information. Hit it with curl, and get back your ip in ascii - not even an extra newline character is returned!

The underlying question is do you trust clickhouse.com or not? You don't have to; I've never met the team or talked to them, and I can't make that decision for you. But whether you go to the site, laboriously find the download page, right click, download a binary, install the deb/rpm, ask your package manager for what files just got installed, then find and run the clickhouse binary, or just let your computer do it for you via a shell script, the end result is the same. Code from clickhouse (and we're sure it was from clickhouse because of TLS) was downloaded to the target machine, and then got run. Does things have to be difficult and annoying in order for you to like it? (Psychology studies say yes, actually.)
Hey, I tried it out - it's pretty cool. I haven't sprung for GPT4, so I tried really hard to get the tokens under 4k, but never made it.

Despite that, the output of this was spot on. If this could utilize the api, it would be even better. I could see this tool eventually being able to keep track of what code is in what file, spitting that out to GPT4, and sort of being a liaison between the codebase and GPT.
I've been blogging for 20+ years on my personal website [1] (disclaimer: it's in spanish). I started it when I was a teenager as a way to teach myself discipline. I used to write every single day. Now it's a bit of a monthly occurrance but it has done quite a few things for me.

1. Landed me a job, and a few gigs
2. Started new friendships
3. Inadvertently taught me SEO
4. Did a bunch of side projects
5. Gave me my 15 minutes of fame

I only wished I could write more often, but it's been a great journey. I want it to keep going.

Based on a population of jewish children in england vs. a population of jewish children in Israel, literally a repeat population from the first study 8 years ago.

The paper in question also states: "Moreover, it should be noted that since the change in Australian guidelines in 2016, consumption of peanut during the first year of life increased from 28.4% before the guidelines (2007-11) to 88.6% after the implementation of the guidelines (2016-18).
Despite this change, a recent publication has shown no decline in the observed prevalence of peanut allergy in Australia in 2020, which remained stable at 3.1%."

It's been tried in a large population with literally zero effect.
Having done in-depth work both with JNI and with cgo, I don't agree that Go is without "funny business". Indeed, cgo leaves a lot to be desired IMO, especially if you with to distribute a library for other projects to consume. The interplay between native and managed code is also fairly tricky.
We could take these vehicles off the road.

They have to be registered with the state department of motor vehicles.

Either charge them a differentially higher vehicle registration fee, or ban them outright.

Another front is questioning whether car insurance rates reflect the real legal liability that drivers of these vehicles incur?

If they truly kill kids then shouldn't their car insurance rates be exorbitantly higher?

I’m surprised how much fear most people seem to have about their fellow conscious being. It’s like now that LLMs exist, people feel we are only one bad actor away from death and destruction, and rather than look inward at our own capability of violence and develop our morality, we wish to use violence preemptively to stop others out of our own fear. It’s wild.

Edit: I’m not surprised of the presence of fear, as much as how out and open it is.
It's half of the reason I post on the internet.
