I volunteered at a wolf sanctuary for a while. Do not make the mistake of thinking the tame ones are dogs. You can’t train them like dogs. They do not respect human authority. They are extremely strong and bite hard. They are incredibly dangerous if cornered, scared, or pissed off.

In general, unless you know what you’re doing, just don’t.

Most of the time, you’re just fine handling a tame wolf if trained properly. It’s that time you make the mistake of thinking you can ignore what they want that will get you hurt.

I use i3. I'm talking about the entire X Window System not getting enough priority on the CPU when there is an oversubscription to CPU resources. I don't think it matters what the window manager is if mouse and keyboard events aren't even being handled.
I’ve hired over 50 people and they were all new to me. The big qualifying question was “What have you launched recently?”
You are not literally a series of chemical reactions. There is no branch of science that claims so. In fact, we're very aware of our inability to define ourselves, particularly the phenomenon of consciousness.

Am I supposed to be impressed by a bunch of gibberish in languages I don't speak, and therefore can't verify?
Out in the northwest, we don’t have duck in our grocery stores either. Maybe in the Chinese grocery stores, or Korean ones, but not in the standard run of the mill Americans ones. Our meat sections are kind of boring, and our frozen meat sections are minuscule. Actually, there is one item that actually contains rabbit meat that we can buy at our grocery store:

My housemate was part of this study. He noticed his hayfever stopped.
It never occurred to me, either, but I’m not a chemist. Makes me a little happier that the water is not chlorinated where I live.

Is this article implying calorie deficits are not what cause weight loss? Or am I misunderstanding? He links to the idea that "we don't know what causes weight loss", but studies show calorie deficits do.
> I would often write huge refactorings thinking that they would be a solution to a borrow checker error, just to get another one at the end of the refactoring.

Yeah this can often be a problem because the borrow checker doesn't kick in until the refactoring is done and no other errors are left.
I hate to break it to you but the planet is very resilient. It was here long before humanity and it will be here and habitable for life long after we've disappeared or evolved into something else.
It doesn't. Half of the book is not even in C (The book is half java (simpler interpreter), half C (bytecode compiler + VM)). The book explains what the code needs to do very very clearly, so even without looking at the C code you would gain a lot of value.
Could an alien mothership be hovering around the solar system, sending out tiny probes to explore planets? According to a Harvard scientist and a Pentagon official, it’s possible.

Anything is possible. This is like the Russell Teapot thought experiment.
The point is poorly made. Would be like talking about how fuel efficient the space station is for it's speed. Can only work if you ignore the trip to that steady state.

So, for the blackbird, how does it do on take off? You know, when it is literally leaking fuel? :)
Perhaps, this whole topic becomes a lot more nuanced if people want to talk about net benefit, and situational benefit, and honestly a lot more interesting.

E.g.How and when do you decide to pull out the stops and put in a lot of extra work for your company or boss? That's the kind of stuff make or break careers and build lasting reputation.

Yes, even at normal flight altitudes rays energetic enough to flip bits are hundreds of times more common than at sea level. It would be a fairly poor idea to put your new datacenter in La Paz (or Utah for that matter ... attention: NSA).
This. So, so, so many flavors of the "abuse of the public to make a few bucks" that is codified in the business models and job duties and KPIs of all sorts of organizations is only viable because people bend over and take it. If there was real risk that came with abusing the public employees would either a) not do that part of their jobs b) demand compensation, likely making the abuse not economically worthwhile c) seek other jobs. Any of these cases would force entities who are abusing the public as part of regular business to change their business or bleed out and die.

Or we could just bring back bribing....
Name calling doesn't strengthen your argument.
This seems congruent with a thought I've had, which is that generative image models might enable people commissioning art to be more coherent about what they want. I only have FOAF-tier knowledge of commissioning artwork, but my understanding is that a major source of frustration on all sides is that a lot of work is often wasted because someone commissioning an artist has only the faintest spark of a concept or doesn't know how to communicate it effectively. I imagine a fair number of professional artists would be receptive to something along the lines of "here are my prompts/models, here's the set of the outputs I have opinions about and here's what I do and don't like about them; please use your expertise to compose this into something that actually works".
Since you're gonna have to search Stackoverflow anyway to verify that ChatGPT didn't hallucinate garbage, I'm very dubious that it actually saves any time, let alone "massive" amounts of it.
Seems to stand for “Joint Concentration”, where a concentration is what Harvard calls a major.

I thought Concorde was priced similarly to business class tickets on regular planes so I thought the trade off was speed vs lie-flat seating rather than speed vs dollars.[1]

There used to be a flight (BA1?) that showed a market desire for faster transatlantic flights: it took off from London City airport (lower travel time, potentially much lower; also less time in the airport as it’s smaller), all business class, flew to Ireland to refuel (runway is too short for it to take off fully loaded), passengers would do US passport control and customs in Ireland while the plane refuelled, then land in JFK and get transport to the city. I don’t think it has been reinstated since covid though. In the reverse direction, one could take a helicopter from downtown Manhattan to JFK, which improves speed except you need to arrive in advance of the flight and get a flight at a certain time, but you would go through security (and check-in?) in the heliport and so be on the post-security side when you got to JFK. I think they only have a midtown heliport now. You can book it through Uber, I think, and it is sometimes cheaper than an Uber to the airport.

So, I think there is some interest amongst frequent travellers for faster flights. I personally don’t sleep very well on flights so if I had a choice between a 7 hour lie-flat redeye from New York to London and a 3.5 hour[2] non-lie-flat flight at the same price, I would prefer the latter. But this would matter more if the travel/waiting time before/after the flight were reduced.

[1] I looked it up and I was wrong here. The cost was 10-15% more than first class which would have been more expensive than business class.

[2] I’m not sure what the right number to write down here is.
Which is a tax on jet fuel, not on carbon emissions. If you raise the tax to cover the negative externalities, you create an incentive to use other fuels that may be less efficient and more harmful but cheaper. If you extend the tax to cover the use of all fuels in aviation, you need a mechanism to prevent people from using fuels bought for other purposes.

Regulation is difficult, especially when you are trying to outwit the market.
No, it didn’t, no idea where you dreamed that. Snowden showed that all American companies were in bed with the US government when it came to spying on foreigners.
Well, could mean two for each of three restaurants, or six one-starred restaurants, or some other combination.
Calorie restriction is a red herring. Real weight loss is caused by long term reduction of insulin levels. The foods, quantities, times, and times between meals you eat affect this.
And far right. He's referred to affectionately as "Uncle Ted".

Crafting interpreters is the best compiler/interpreter book I read. I had tried both the Dragon book and Andrew Appel's "Modern Compiler Implementation in Java" and Crafting Interpreters feels like a masterclass in how to write an accessible book. The author just has a special talent for explaining complex concepts simply.
SEC Case Against Crypto Mogul Sun Stirs Questions over Huobi
Law enforcement and military exist to prevent you from using force on others, and others from using force against you. You're absolutely correct, I'm in favour of forcing you to not use force on others. The only positive right I believe in is the enforcement of negative rights.

Alternatively, I simply state that we both agree on law enforcement and military but not healthcare, so at a baseline you want to force others to pay for more things than I do.

I don't support the US healthcare system, but I won't support socialized healthcare because of that. The government can follow the rules it enforces onto private companies by operating its own healthcare service without forcing those that did not choose to use it to pay. Problem?
That's dangerously close to the thinking that if you've done nothing wrong, you have nothing to hide.

The US Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable search and seizure means that we, as a society, are OK not detecting all crime. But this doesn't feel like a commonly held value these days. "If we can save just one life..." is considered a valid argument for excessive safety protocols. Not far from "If we can detect just one crime..."

(Not necessarily disagreeing with your point; indeed, maybe that was the thinking.)
I never said that it was. I just explained why this time was different. Innovation always hurts people but it benefits enough people that there's not massive social unrest. I am not making a moral assertion here just pointing out the qualitative difference.

CUDA not a moat? It’s physical hardware combined with extensive software libraries. How much more of a moat could they have?
Wait? People don’t want to be nickel and dimed for every little thing on a really expensive purchase that depreciates rapidly anyway? Crazy. Who knew?
At a basic level, sure. But if you're going to be so literal, you'd agree that a company should withhold any compensation when you're on vacation, or when you're out sick, or if you take a long lunch, right?
The Unabomber was notable for manufacturing his own screws, so I'm not sure how many artisanal nail makers remain. In those days nails were re-used, it was such a pain to make them.
Generally I feel like I'm pretty good at understanding concepts.

But after reading this Wikipedia page and then Googling it and then reading MollyRealized's ChatGPT explanation in a sibling comment...

...I have utterly no idea what the heck this is supposed to be.

If this is about using nonsense to explain something in philosophy, that seems awfully silly.

If this is about how e.g. high school students need simplified versions of how an electron works (a point) before college students learn the reality (a cloud), then it seems banal.

If this is about achieving mystical realizations along the lines of zen koans, then OK but what has that got to do with Wittgenstein? And it seems like a Wikipedia article ought to mention this.

So I'm baffled. I think I need a ladder to help me understand this ladder? And understand why this was submitted to HN in the first place?
Time between meals is the strongest and most sustainable lifestyle choice to lose weight and keep it off. 18-24 hours between meals day in day out as an adult. You will asymptotically approach a natural weight by eating what you wish if you follow the timing rule.

Sounds like it's an argument not to maximize output at every possible opportunity, just because it's possible?

More, more, more, always more, the ideology of infinite growth belongs to a cancer. Quite literally a self-defeating, pathological mindset. More brought us here, to the present day, and it will probably bring us over a Seneca cliff too.

That's the thing about ambition. It means you will never be content.
Seems somewhat like the inverse of the Imposter Syndrome concept (where you feel your successes are just a thin manufactured veneer over a more banal reality).

And to some degree that's true, we're all experiencing similar emotional gamuts despite the titles we wear.

The world is plenty full of people who do titled work without a title. The difference is less about the work being done, and more about the social grouping.
Yeah (after my comment) but the big players will compete instead of doing plug-ins.
It is entirely reasonable for a personal server to be set to the timezone it is physically located in.
There is also sufficient regulation in place to make sure jets don't put random garbage in their fuel tanks. Not that you need it, because it would damage the engines.

I have no idea what you think a passenger jet would switch to?
Cars are regulated pretty differently from air travel though? And airlines are already quite incentivised to use less fuel as it’s a huge cost. I think it’s just a case of different things being different.
In my experience, the hard part is not extracting data from websites, but observing and implementing the actual structure of the site - e.g. iTunes categories have apps, which have reviews, etc, and making your scraper intelligent enough to make use of that structure to gather the freshest data efficiently.

There is definitely a place for LLMs in solving this problem: in taking over for the human in interpreting the business goals/data to gather along with the available data on the web, but my experiments have shown that this is a significant problem due to limited LLM context length and difficulty distilling messy data. But, very excited to keep pushing, and seeing where things go :)

Note: I build https://www.thoughtvector.io/pointscrape/ to solve very-large-scale web-data gathering problems like these.
Poor guy is so dragged into the pipe of the magical supersonic flight he sees absolutely nothing outside, even the economic downtrun is attributed partially to the sonic boom ban on the end, and the key to greatness are booms in the sky, ridiculous. :D

As one spent my childhood in the Eastern Bloc with fighter planes practicing overhead passing supersonic limit frequently I say the sonic boom is no joke. Most likely those happened lower than the cruising altitude of an airlener and consequently the shaking windows and frighetened animals (and children) may be avoided if happen higher up yet the more silent ones were still enough waking up anyone. Happening multiple times throughout the night - airliners fill the night sky - would be detrimental to health in an already noisy society where good sleep is seldom.

I am living now in Easter Anglia and one or two years ago two Eurofighters went on to intercept an airliner not responding to calls and the resulting booms not only broke the work for everyone - wife was on a call and both end startled about the loud 'explosions' nearby - but the booms were in the news that day triggering discussions and analysis.

Booms are pretty distracting. Even milder noises are like low rumble coming from a factory or works, especially during the night. Better to be avoided, the regulators were wise. Uncaring fisherman - observed by the author - lost in an activity then interrupted by a mild boom only for seconds is no reliable reference here I think. : ) Someone lost in an activity - mind is engaged in to the level of being disconnected of surroundings - should not be noticing it at all to be accepteble.

What is this magical future AI that determines the accuracy of the current AI when the current AI clearly fails at being accurate? You're purely fantasizing.
It sounds like the nasal spray has a molecular structure based on the shape of a key molecule unique to Covid. Is it possible that your housemate thought they were experiencing regular hayfever but actually it was hayfever + fighting off a mild Covid infection at the same time? That's the only way I can imagine to explain what you described.
Latelty we had a discusion about that too. There was a story from a hairdresser women who worked for 20 years and never git a raise in her salary. She worked for almost nothing. But I think person like this hairdresser are gulty too. Because they all work for this low salary, of course the boss would be stupid to pay more. All, every single person, who work overtime for free is kind of guilty.
If you don't get covid you don't spread it. We never got enough people with the vaccine to stop the spread, and we as we learn more about how long the vaccine lasts it seems unlikely we will, but it does reduce the spread.

Reduce does not mean stop though, most people want a black or white stop or do nothing, while the truth is grey

HR generally won't allow pay differences that large for the same role.
I thought similarly when reading the part of the article where the legal team said that Cigna's policy wasn't illegal. Maybe it isn't against any laws for the company to do it, but isn't it unethical for doctors to do it? If the law requires that licensed doctors be the ones to review the claims, maybe the most effective way to change this practice is for medical boards to start sanctioning doctors who do this.
It depends on what I am doing. I find when doing software dev, I need to take frequent breaks to let my mind rest. That is part of the time cost of doing the job. I track when I come in and when I leave with a spreadsheet. Although salary, I know if I do not use the spreadsheet I, like I have observed others, will slowly let time slip until they are not doing their full job. My office looks for me to do 80 hours in 2 weeks. Some days are 10 some are 6 depending.

I notice others who watch the clock and leave immediately after 8 hours, my day is almost never that smooth and if I am on a roll I do not want to stop as it costs me more time.

But do take your occasional breaks, it is better for your overall productivity.
I'm no expert, but if your software can't deal with timezones, be worried. So yes, absolutely, it should be perfectly okay to use your local timezone.
In the end it's about who can do the most (probably low precision) FLOPS/$ - CUDA becomes less of a moat the more established the field becomes and the software settles. There's nothing magical about the low-level arithmetics that powers this.

Nvidia will have a first-mover advantage, but AMD will be strongly motivated to win those customers, and they should be able to, eventually.

Anyway, that's my gut instinct based on how these things tend to play out. Now let's hear from e.g. actual experts in the field? :)
Making a copy in RAM, cache etc does not involve distributing it to other people.
There are lots of nasal sprays that may potentially be protective against covid, e.g. Betadine Cold Defence, but almost all of them are banned for sale in the US. But you can buy pure saline nasal spray for a couple dollars at Target, which itself is likely protective.

Everyone saying it's completely a myth is ignoring one question:

Suppose there's a leader who's the oldest, their spouse is gone, and he/she has 6 littermates who "follow" him/her. Then the leader dies. Which of the littermates becomes the new leader?

Maybe the pack disperses? Otherwise there's a fight. Please explain how that's incorrect.
This is true of any webscraper though, you need to santitize any content you collect from the web. If a person wanted a scraper to get something different from the browser, they could easily use UA sniffing to do so. (I've seen it this done a few times.)

Asking GPT to create JSON and then validating the JSON is one piece of that process, but before someone deserialized that JSON and executed INSERT statements w/ it, they should do whatever they usually would do to sanitize that input.
What about giving them bonuses as well?

This was my experience too. Although, it's less of an issue now. It was definitely frustrating, though.
The feeling of hunger has three components the majority of people cannot untangle unless you have a lot of experience.

1. dehydration (feels like you are hungry/dying)

2. insufficient electrolytes (feels like you are hungry/dying)

3. high ghrelin (feels like you are hungry/dying)

The trick is to stay on top of #1 and #2 and power through #3. Eventually #3 will go way down.
Depends on the demographic. Moving away from the rich (relatively) HN-er data point is the american in an average earning job much richer than the european after salary difference and tax?
>For a lot of people, "I want to do X" actually means "I want to have done X,"

I think in many cases it's more like "I want to want to do X." They think it would be great to be flowing with words, musical ideas, technical ideas, ready and motivated to create, but presently they are not.
Dogs, in almost almost every interaction with a human, are pets. Wolves are not basically big pets. That's the concept I'm berating.

I can see how your comment is not about habituating wolves, but it feels like I have to be extra charitable to read it that way even knowing your intent.
