I live on my sailboat near Cape Canaveral, FL. I hear sonic booms when SpaceX lands their Falcon9 back on the pad. 1) it’s never at night, usually on weekends or evenings (thank you SpaceX!). 2) It’s an awesome feeling but can leave the less healthy feeling a bit distraught. 3) Because they are able to land a stage 1 back at the pad, and that is a huge feat of engineering excellence, I’ll allow it. So awesome!

edit my point is there are people that aren’t as bothered by it as others and would like to see us do great things as a species
Anybody else feeling that the selection of shorts has dropped a lot the past month?

Before there were a lot of good shorts. Now all I get is bad junk.

It feels like i has one theme selected every day, so a large fraction of shorts that day is for that theme no matter how much I downvote or block channels. The next day all shorts for that theme is gone, and it is now something else.

- plenty of people are fine with a light snack before bed. Serving size is kind of large but you can always have a smaller portion (as I do for almost any cereal type product I eat). Compare to ice cream or a single serving of soda, which many people have in the evening.

- The American classic/stereotypical diet has a lot of sugar in breakfast foods. My experience is that starting the day with dessert (cereal, donuts) sets up a pretty bad sugar crash/energy roller coaster. I try to limit sweets and save them for as late as possible so that I’m not getting rebound hunger/crashes for the rest of the day. Repositioning cereal as a dessert style item might not be the disaster for human health that some other commenters suggest, especially if it carves a path out of the current business model.
I strongly agree with your point, but I think some extra context is warranted.

As it stands, the economics of air travel force carriers to optimise for reducing fuel consumption, since that's (by far) the biggest fraction of a commercial aircraft's operating cost.

If supersonic transport makes a comeback, it'll be because the economics will make sense, which (in my mind) will be either because of:

- Somehow reduced fuel consumption, potentially through engines that leverage the effects of the supersonic flight regime for increased fuel efficiency (e.g. ramjets, through that likely wouldn't be possible in low-supersonic flight)

-> As another commenter in this thread mentioned, drag decreases with lower atmospheric pressure at higher altitudes, so there are fuel efficiency gains to be made just by flying higher, within the engines' design constraints.

- It'll fill the niche of richer-than-god people who use jets to skip highway traffic.

There's likely more cases than just these, but these are just the greatest hits as far as I can tell; and I say all of that as someone who's not involved in the aviation industry.

For the record, I don't support this second niche existing, but it does, and it can be an economic driver.

I would be careful applying this one to imposter syndrome. I think of imposter syndrome as a failure to calibrate your expectations of yourself with the reality of what your work requires. Asking yourself what the "real" person would do that you aren't doing seems to me like it would play into that miscalibration. You might be better of asking _someone else_ what your replacement would do.

The problem is, because of how these models were trained, how do we know if its telling us how it feels vs how it thinks we want it to respond?
Yes, but they're also choosing the monitors that pass QA best. It may be that all of their monitors have zero defects, but that is statistically unlikely.

Look at chip manufacturing. They really care about high yields, but there are always defects, 20 years ago and today as well.

It's an issue with manufacturing in general. Perfection is typically impossible to achieve. Maybe not always, but typically.

Back to the main issue, since modern monitors are quite high resolution, you and I might both have a few dead pixels, or more likely a few that have pixels that are half-dead (dim) in one channel (of red/blue/green), and we just don't notice on our desktops -- and it would usually take careful examination to spot them even on a pure white screen.

Your mileage may vary, of course.

Nothing is "fattening", because you can lose fat while eating any one thing. You can lose weight while only eating lasagna, thus, it is not necessarily fattening. But in general I agree, saying "I ate lasagna" could be 400 calories, or it could be 2400 calories.

However, a calorie estimating AI could be useful if it indicates a level of uncertainty. You list "lasagna", and the AI estimates it's 1200 calories, plus or minus 1000, or something like that. Maybe this level of accuracy is good enough for some people, and it makes tracking and losing weight easy. Or maybe you're not losing weight, and so you realize you have to be more specific, listing the food weights and individual ingredients, etc.

I'm not exactly a fan of authoritarian communism but the point you're trying to make here fails considering Vietnam, one of the countries used as a successful example, has the exact same governing system as Laos.

Also the point made that the main difference between which countries recover and which don't post-war is whether they receive economic investment doesn't seem to be relevant to communism or who exactly did the previous bombing at all.

As a long-time Rust programmer, I agree that the syntax is not the most readable around.

That being said, string concatenation is only marginally related to syntax. It's a matter of semantics, which go much deeper. There is a very good reason for which string concatenation isn't simpler in Rust.

Type theorists have been talking about this too. The search term is "rows" or "row polymorphism". They're awesome but no mainstream language uses rows.

Apple also gets users to subsidize the cost of compute indefinitely (by buying the expensive phone), rather than using their servers.
Planes usually crash at takeoff and landing, hence supersonic or not doesn't matter for that case.

Crashing at any other time, sure, there is potentially more energy in a supersonic plane. I doubt that people on the ground will know the difference between a plane crashing on them at 600mph vs 1200mph.
> issued a rule that remains one of the most destructive acts of industrial vandalism in history.

Excuse me while I throw up in my mouth. Seriously, f this guy. I suppose he's in favor of letting us chuck all of our garbage out of open windows while we drive, too.

I've heard sonic booms before at air shows, and it's not some quiet little "beep". They're loud and disturbing. As someone who values silence, hearing these frequently at any hour of the day would drive me insane.

I don't doubt there is technology that can make booms quieter, but until it's 0, STFU. Sick of people arguing that creating technology for the benefit of a tiny few (as others have mentioned, supersonic travel will always be inherently more inefficient) is OK, the externalities on the rest of the populace be damned.

In the US at least, coverages for liability and damages are split. The liability costs would be the same for similar sizes of car whereas damage costs would be much higher for a car that’s expensive to repair.
I find it concerning that IIUC, of the GPT-4 paper, system card and this paper, _none_ discuss the training data in detail.

The paper discussed here even says (page 7):

> The standard approach in machine learning is to evaluate the system on a set of standard benchmark datasets, ensuring that they are independent of the training data and that they cover a range of tasks and domains. This approach is designed to separate true learning from mere memorization, and is backed up by a rich theoretical framework ... However, this methodology is not necessarily suitable for studying GPT-4, for two reasons. First, since we do not have access to the full details of its vast training data, we have to assume that it has potentially seen every existing benchmark, or at least some similar data.

I.e even these authors, who had a special degree of access to the model, aren't sure what's in the training data.

So it does _great_ on a bunch of tasks, but we're not sure that it wasn't actually trained on very similar data. A recent discussion on coding performance that's in vs out of its training data seems quite telling. It does poorly on more recent problems of the same level of difficulty.
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35297067

The model itself may be very impressive, but so far the papers describing and analyzing it are super sketchy, and it's really hard to separate out reasoning capability from noisy memorization.
Which has very little reproducible support backing it as a universal guidance for meal timings or caloric intake per meal.
Agreed. However, since everyone has different ethics, it's only when enough people believe the same thing is morally correct that it often becomes law. Most of the bad stuff we decry now happened because the masses found it ethical. And certainly plenty we now find ethical will be considered unethical in the future.

But of the two, only law is stable enough to run a society. It's what balances all the variety of ethical issues between beliefs.
This is Microsoft PR; please ignore.
> Nobody would argue that a business unit that has outlived its usefulness should be funded in perpetuity

Au contraire, private sector bureaucrats aren't special. The constituent bureaucrats of that business unit certainly would and do advocate for the continuation of their fiefdoms, but in business settings their self-interested scheming is eventually overridden by business considerations (e.g. the people with the money, who want to stop hemorrhaging their money.) In government orgs, the bureaucrats have more influence (because there is more distance between the people who pay for it and the people who decide it should be paid for) so the bureaucrats are more effective at preserving bureaucracy for the sake of itself. However in each case, the instincts and inclinations of career bureaucrats are precisely the same: grow the org. This is Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy. It applies to both private and public bureaucracies alike.
Logseq is well done. I ended up using it for about a month but then went to Obsidian -- I ended up realizing I like to use outliner mode for certain types of notes, but found Obsidian to be better for straight writing. There's an outliner plugin for Obsidian that gets you close-ish to Logseq and other outlners, but I ended up detuning its settings to just make bulleted lists better. Totally recommend checking out Logseq though, it's good software.
They should probably have used JPEGS.

This is a complete misunderstanding of the state of physics. The problem is not theoretical physics, if anything, the problem lies in our technological/engineering prowess that has not been able to follow our advances in physics.

The Standard Model has some issues but it's, in principle, a valid effective description of all the fundamental forces minus gravity. The issue is that quantum effects of gravity are negligible until the Planck scale, we have no technological means to get even close to those levels. That is, physicists have been able to provide an understanding of the universe that for all we know for certain might be valid up to the Planck scale, which is where we know for sure new physics must appear. And because our technological ability is lagging much farther behind they must probe that new physics blindly, without any experimental evidence. This is an incredibly difficult thing to do.

Imagine that the ancient greeks managed to discover Quantum Mechanics. They lay down the correct Schrodinger equation, and understand the superposition principle, Heisenberg uncertainty principle, etc. They know it can potentially explain the atom but lacking sufficient engineering prowess they cannot really test the theory and verify its validity. This is the situation physics is in, we have mathematically consistent theories of quantum gravity but we cannot know if it's the correct description of the universe because experimental evidence is inaccessible and might be inaccessible for centuries to come.
I think it needs two things: the instinct to fight for life and the ability to reflect about itself.

I don't know, but perhaps it is like the Gödel's theorem: if something is about itself, then you have a system where you can't always prove something true. Because we humans can think about ourselves, we open up ourselves to extremely deep suffering. Also important, as Buddha has said, craving causes suffering. Just talking about a craving doesn't mean really craving.

I am sure that we will cross the border where we have to treat entities as sentient, with consciousness and cravings and therefore possibly suffering. But we are not there yet. I don't know when this will happen and how to detect suffering. I only know we have to be careful not to anthropomorphize GPT engines.

Maybe, but this had very little to do with offroading. This was a software flaw that sounds like it could occur if you got stuck on a snow covered road and needed to be pulled out (if you weren't buckled in and were rocking the car ro get unstuck). Basically logic around the seat belt switch.

In any case, I wouldn't want an $85k vehicle. I would prefer a cheaper vehicle with fewer features, including the omission of this seat belt logic.

Were those sonic booms from airplanes at cruising altitude, or from low flying jets showing off?
Oh interesting.

Looking it up, the Concorde flew at 60,000 ft, compared to normal planes at 30,000 ft.

And atmospheric pressure at 60k ft is less than a quarter of what it is at 30k.

Is it possible to fly twice the speed of a regular aircraft but without using that much more fuel, by flying higher? Or does the plane have to burn even more fuel to get up to that altitude and maintain lift in a thinner atmosphere?

I think a lot of people here are missing the author's point. It's not about letting people go faster per se. It's about the fact that the ban doesn't actually target the right thing.

The purpose of the Mach 1+ ban is to reduce noise. But if the goal is to reduce noise, why not just set noise limits? We have the ability to measure noise, so if the goal is to reduce noise, set a limit on noise.

Then let the airplane operators innovate however makes sense for their business. If you're worried about pollution (which is a good thing to worry about!) then there should be a separate fuel per mile limit or a carbon tax. Then they can innovate within both constraints.

But the whole point is that the metric being used is wrong -- it should be noise output, not speed.
