Ascending order is just one of many arbitrary orders. An ordering is a first output of a generator function, a second output, a third output, etc, where for any arbitrarily chosen element X of the set (such as the positive integers or reals), we can show that the generator will reach X in N steps, for some finite N.

That is why ascending order is the norm for the positive integers. For any positive integer X, it is clear that we will reach it in X steps using that generator function. So, it’s not a matter of being mainstream, it’s just the simplest.

The difference between the infinity of the reals and the positive integers is that there is no such generator function for the reals. No matter what function you give me, I can write a finite number that you will not reach in a finite number of steps.

Feel free to give me a generator function and I will give you a finite number that it cannot reach in finite steps. On the other hand, try giving me a finite positive integer that I cannot reach in finite steps.
So in those 7 decades there has been build 175 million houses. Population of usa is around 350 million. Most people probsbly also not living alone and some houses that were build before 1950 probsbly still are in use just maybe modernized.

Not familiar with USA market but wondering: Are current houses just more fragile and fell apart within 50 years?
It gets too much easy stuff wrong.

Choose an old uncommon book on your shelf and ask it who the author is. I did that for a book about boat restoration, published in 2015. While it knew about the book and provided an accurate description, it completely made up the author's name, stating it as fact.

Google returns the correct author's name.

Having to constantly verify the AI's bullshit, doesn't sound like something I want to pay for. (I used a free version of GTP4 via hugging face for the book test).
Not OP, but disk space maybe? It's pretty big.

Acetaminophen is a very important drug to have OTC. There's nothing that can replace it OTC, and many people have pain that requires it yet shouldn't rise to the level of seeing a doctor just to obtain medication. Like migraine and short term minor muscle pain.

Also, having it available avoids the risk of doctors over-oveprescribing for complaints that acetaminophen is perfectly suited to handle with much less side effect.

Not ODing on Acetaminophen isn't hard. Read the label. Understand that it doesn't mix with alcohol. Don't take it like an asshole. You have to take over 2 grams to exceed the daily limit for meds like Excedrin, and it takes something like 4 grams (16 Excedrin for example) to be in OD territory.

Recommended doses are something like nothing over 500 mg every six hours.

The vast majority of overdoses are people swallowing a handful while drunk. There's a wide variety of drugs that you can't do that with.

The rule of thumb with acetaminophen is to know the rules.
Please tell us more! I watched a documentary, but here's an article I found.

You will have the 1st amendement now but soon China will destabilize your government even more than russia and if you don't get a civil war you get a chinese satellite fascist state and you think there will be a firsr amendement in any scenario where China brainwashes a significant number of americans strategically?

The proof starts assuming you can count natural numbers, which you can’t.

It’s impossible to have a known cardinality of an “infinite set”.

The definition of set is “a collection of items”. You cannot “have” an infinite collection of items.

You can have a method/function/formula/algorithm that generates as many items as you can in a certain amount of time, but by definition of infinity, you can never “count” an infinite number of elements.

Hence, you can never know the cardinality of an infinite set (like the natural numbers).

Once you think you can reduce something unknowable, to a symbol, you can prove anything.

Like when proving 1=2 by dividing by 0.

But then what’s the point?
If you read about what all happened in the 80s and 90s in Punjab, atrocities by the state, it’s really messed up.

Large scale disappearances just based on the looks/appearance - Sikhs look very distinct.
State is really dangerous and scary in such instances.

The national party that is ruling(BJP) has lots of issues with state of Punjab as last year Punjab led the farmers protest so there's resentment and many journalists side with the current regime.

The introductory algorithms class is much like introductory programming: it teaches you the basic tools, but it's not very practical on its own. If you are not interested in studying algorithms further, the class may be interesting and educational but probably not very useful.

Some CS departments make the matter worse by calling the class Advanced Algorithms, which gives students a wrong impression. Students may believe that they are going to learn algorithms instead of tools for working with algorithms. I prefer the approach our mathematics department had when I was a student: they gave classes at the same level names like "Elements of Set Theory" and "Introduction to Elementary Number Theory".

Additionally, the example you used was actually pretty good. There is a parameter k that determines how easy or hard the specific instance is. The class used sorting as an example, because it's a non-trivial problem with many algorithms students are already familiar with. And the optimization target was asymptotic complexity, because it's easy to deal with without turning the assignment into a semester-long project.

If your job is designing practical algorithms (as mine is), you'll often end up in similar situations. Maybe you get the parameter k as a guarantee that allows you to use an algorithm that is faster with easy instances than the general-purpose algorithm. Or maybe you design an algorithm with its resource usage depending on k, regardless of the value. Or maybe the algorithm you already have is often faster than expected, and you want to find the parameters that determine how easy or hard an instance is. Or maybe you already have the algorithm and know the parameters, and you want to determine and log the values of the parameters in case a user reports worse than expected performance in some situations.
In the beginning there was no theory.

The instrument itself is all you basically need to make music. People spent thousands of years just trying not to hit the wrong notes without knowing the difference between a sharp or a flat.

Theory was reductive to begin with, it codified what was already acceptable to qualify as music.

With deeper understanding the theory can be built upon creatively on its own, and rewarding composition or improvisation achieved independent of a particular instrument. Even better documentation in many cases.

Every instrument is different, but I do think it's a good idea if you're going to get into theory, you do it on an instrument where you have the greatest proficiency beforehand.

If you concentrate on the instrument itself primarily, you might spend some time producing relatively unmusical passages, but each instrument only has so many notes. If you play each note every day for some reason or another, you can become more familiar with all of them than otherwise. If you succeed at making it sound better over time, by playing however you like more & more regardless of theory, that would be notable accomplishment.

That's more like instrument theory rather than music theory, but if your instrument familiarity is good enough you can do your part and pull your weight along with advanced theorists who can cover the academic areas that are encountered. Once you're groovin' these are the ones to build up your theory about what you're already doing together.

Edit: There's also the alternative approach of playing only a limited number of the notes available on any one instrument. Almost theoretically in a statistical way to completely limit the output to that which is proven most acceptable to the mainstream. For instance Irving Berlin only played on the black keys and became the most popular songwriter that way.

Show HN: Coinwink V2 is now open-source
I don't think any GUI move items before a confirmation, so I don't see the link at all.
I suspect that this was all driven by the invention of agriculture. Since in the last 100 years we are starting to move away from being a mostly agricultural society, I’m guessing those relationships will change. Only time will tell.
I don’t consider Reddit, HN, etc. to be social media, at all. There might be media, but there is no social. Social requires a network of real people. You can’t prove that anyone on these sites is a real person, other than yourself. Maybe I, and everyone else on here, is a bot. When everyone is anonymous, there is no network. And, not only is everyone anonymous, but there are no connections. To the best of my knowledge I have never read a post or comment from the same “person” twice. Every single interaction might as well be (and probably is) our first interaction on the site, ever. Complete strangers passing in the dark.
async nearly always trades concurrency for latency, so it wouldn't necessarily be faster overall. Lots of profiling and tuning would probably be involved.

That, or your algorithm could be optimal for concurrency already - and you would see an immediate performance improvement.
I imagine portrait painters and later photographers all experienced a similar transition. They had built their livelihoods around a certain visual asset generation technique, and a new technology disrupted that process and pushed them into the nice-to-have luxury corner. The same train will come for prompt engineers eventually too in the usual cycle.
With Postgres, you can do almost everything, also a full-text search, but you still have Elasticsearch, Mejlisearch, etc when you need performance and advanced features. The multitool approach is suboptimal in most cases.
Yes and with supply not meeting demand at least here in York county pa and Baltimore county md.. bidding wars just started to be the norm again and prices are increasing. I bid on a 200k home (a real fixer upper to flip in two years after living in it & remodeling it) last weekend it had 20 bids and I lost out to an all cash offer(supposedly per my real estate agent). That same weekend a 40 year old log cabin ($430k) had an open house where 30 showed up and it was sold within 8 hours.

Up until this month prices in this market were declining and homes sitting on the market for weeks to a month or more with lots of price drops.

It's weird spring comes around with interest rates just as high and we are back to bidding war frenzy that was 2021/half of 2022.

Less than 10% of mortgages are variable rate. And why would anybody sell their house with a 2% mortgage? They’d need to be paid a significant premium to justify this.
That’s because it’s a minority of people in that situation, once it’s > 50% facing prospects like that, it all changes in the blink of an eye.

No one gives a crap until it’s your own child, then it’s probably too late.
For me, GPT-4 has been godsend for scraping compared to GPT-3.5
It gets most of the tasks right in first attempt (although you might have to nudge it in the right direction if it’s wrong). GPT-3.5 on the other hand was pretty dumb, I had to wrestle with it to get even the basic stuff right.
This is a tragic disappointment a lot of (if not most (if not an overwhelming majority (if not literally all))) artists experience at some point early or late in their professional careers.

I taught art for a long time and I would always try to frame this inevitable experience as an important moment of growth. When you have to form a deeper relationship to your creative work and think strategically about how you want to support yourself long term.

There's no getting around it, it's really hard seeing what this is doing to visual artists. The few of us that could find good work doing what we love...
> I really wonder how many people in the last 10 years actually felt like buying a variable rate mortgage was a good idea?

Probably not very many. But I wonder how many people don't realize the psychological issues of being put into a "golden cage" for 30 years.

Times will certainly be interesting indeed over the next 5-10 years.
My understanding is that the separation does help, but since the chat models are just fine-tuned text completion models, it doesn't completely prevent it. If I understand it correctly, the separation is a way for OpenAI to future-proof it, so that it can work fully once the models have an architecture that actually separates system, user and assistant prompts at a lower, more fundamental level.

They specifically have a disclaimer in the API docs that gpt-3.5-turbo right now doesn't take system prompts into account as “strongly” as it should.

It's not speech, It's commerce, you all have taken over hn basically at this point. Tiktok can promote ccp or even nazism it just can't be a business doing social media. I can't provide services showing people how to make bombs or kill other people for example, I can show you I just can't charge for it and profit.

Honestly, you can only be one of two things, you have never actually read the full text of the constitution and you are brainwashed on tiktok or some other social media or you are an actual CCP troll. No in between.
I may be wrong, but I think it depends on whether it actually conflicts with any federal law. States can pass laws that affect interstate commerce if there's no superceding federal law and if they don't fall afoul of the Dormant Commerce Clause, which sort of generically restricts interstate protectionism.
Did you tell them to press F5?
Yes. This is the most cost effective way and what I’m been doing personally.
What's an analogy in the software world to this sort of tragic disappointment? Going from building fun videogame side projects to having to crank out dozens of over-engineered B2B SaaS microservices, for the sake of job security, for yet another sales workflow optimization tool?

Oh I have a lot of ideas. I started learning programming before Stackoverflow got traction. Plus I'm not a native speaker and by the time I didn't really speak English at all. So I practically needed to learn what "Reached end of file while parsing" means in plain English, then tried to find out that I had missed a semicolon :'(
It didn't take OP's job, though. It gave them another tool that produces better output, but which they don't happen to like (in contrast to their colleague who doesn't have issues with it).

I'm currently evaluating different vector stores and passed on Redis today after spending about a half day looking into it. Here's my reasoning

1. The Node.js client is designed to be just a thin wrapper around Redis commands. The client's docs basically just point you straight at the Redis docs.

2. The `@redis/search` API is slightly different than the FS.SEARCH Redis command's api. The difference is not documented and cost me ~20 minutes. This is a pretty big problem given item 1.

3. The `@redis/search` TypeScript types didn't allow some valid FS.SEARCH calls.

One thing to note is that for some use cases (IMO probably a large fraction of use cases right now), the vectors are derived data, so you don't necessarily need a super robust/battle-tested "database", you just need something with a simple happy-path API.
Joe is just more curious. He puts in more thought to his questions.

Lex's questions feel like a ChatGPT parody of himself. He doesn't push his guests, seek to be entertaining. He took the 'just let them talk' idea too literally I think. Its just a PR speak 4hr+ podcast for whoever his guests are.

I actually couldn't stand the Harris episode. It felt so meandering and had no real direction. No pushback from either side, almost a talking past each other but in a meta way. It felt like I was in a conversation where I talked way too much and should have listened more. The episode could have been 1hr.
How many of those homes are second/third homes?

There are a lot of old abandoned homes. I would never live in a home built before 1978. Almost certainly that home is full of lead-based paint and asbestos.
Just because they said so, doesn't mean it is so.
Nomad is awesome and works at scale. The engineers continue to battle harden it and it’s a joy to work with. You do have to manage things like service discovery (usually with consul) and traffic routing separately - but the integration with vault is sublime.

About the only real negative of Nomad is that it doesn’t have the mindshare that k8s does, so you don’t see the amount of developer engagement in extending it the way you do in the k8s SIGs. Also, being an expert in Nomad doesn’t give you the same number of career opportunities, and on the other side - there aren’t umpteen thousand nomad SREs the way there are with k8s - so getting someone up to speed can take a couple months (but this system is very well defined, well documented, and small enough that any half talented engineer can master it very quickly)

Nomad does have the very important advantage that Hashicorp stands behind the product - so if anything goes awry, you’ve got a support team and escalation that will jump on and root cause/resolve any issue, usually within a matter of hours and even in the really squirrelly cases (that you are only likely to see when when you are managing many, many thousands of nodes in a cluster) within days.
I don't know how to judge a bill, but I read this, and it seems that the intent is to broadly ban everything first and then carve out exceptions for almost everything except for a single category: Direct messaging (^B) between MORE than two users for non-creative, non-commercial, non-educational purposes.

AKA forums and memes.

Is that a fair analysis?

[edit] : per privacy advocates - no, I don't think it's okay to start with a law that bans everything and carve out exceptions; obviously, that way lies totalitarianism. I'm just trying to get a handle on the immediate intent. There's a boolean at work here. I guess someone was like, "hey, why chip away at forums and meme sites when we can just ban everything in theory, let most of it slide, and work back toward totalitarianism from there with the law already in place?"

[edit2] HN appears to be totally banhammered under this since /the mods/ don't post the news.
Is this why Apple is slowly pulling away from China?
What happens to us when AI becomes better than us at every mental task?

Ignoring the economic factors, what does that mean for our self worth? If we know it’s easier to ask a machine to do it, will we stop doing everything?

Can we reframe our purpose and just be content living?

(Above quote from: https://twitter.com/iamharaldur/status/1639368422763970562)
> that there are 20 categories of services exempted shows that this is a terrible bill

This is how privacy died. Someone fought for everything. Compromised for everything but twenty. Nobody supported the fight.

Then, when the deal was announced, out came the pitchforks for perfection.
AS3 is one of those things where we needed to put in a lot of work just to get basic things working, because the runtime is a hell of a lot stricter[0]. On AS1/2 we could hook up a few basic things and have basic games working. Further complicating things was that a lot of under-the-hood things about frame lifecycle are different, in ways that took a while to fully understand.

There's a bunch of work going on with Stage3D that's pretty promising.

Socket support on the other hand is probably not happening since the web doesn't allow arbitrary TCP/IP sockets. You'd need to switch to WebSockets for Ruffle clients - fortunately we support `ExternalInterface` so mixing AS3 and HTML5 code is possible.

[0] AVM1 has no runtime errors aside from infinite recursion and infinite prototypes. This leads to some absolutely ridiculous consequences even for basic operations, like prototype-less objects sorting differently from ones with prototypes.
You're making too many assumptions from such broad data. No, houses don't generally fall apart within 50 years. But most houses built 50+ years ago are small by modern standards, and many have been torn down and redeveloped since then. For the ultimate peek into this phenomenon look at Tokyo, where the lifespan of a house is short and any given plot of land is rebuilt several times per century.
I too am anxiously trying to imagine what the software dev version of this will be... Sweating it out at every sprint meeting and stand-up...
As I understand it,

> (I) shared between the sender and the recipient;
171 (II) only visible to the sender and the recipient; and
172 (III) are not posted publicly;

maybe sender and recipient can be considered a group chat with multiple recipients? Otherwise you wouldn't classify something like Kik or Discord as social media.
> that nobody is entitled to privacy until they turn 18 is crazy

But precedented, through the history of parenting.
This seems a bit extreme. If you can afford to move, does interest rate really factor in? If rates get worse you’ve still locked a better rate, if rates get better you refinance. Besides, there’s plenty of reasons to move besides for a job (and not everyone can work remotely or get a remote job with comparable compensation).

Yeah, you’re going to pay some more interest if you get a new mortgage, but don’t you just adjust your monthly finances and eat it? As long as you can hit your long-term financial goals, the “once in a generation” rate doesn’t seem so important.
I don’t understand why people see this future as guaranteed, just because GPT4 was a great improvement on 3.5 does not imply this approach will continue accelerating at this rate. I am not saying it definitely won’t happen but I find the confidence that it will pretty baffling.
