BBC microbit is a decent transition in my experience. It gives a couple sensors and simple LED and sound output built in which helps come up with ideas for playing around with it.

The IDE also allows you to switch back and forth between scratch and, I think js or python, and see the code output of the scratch you've written.
Which is really odd, as Titanium is not that rare.

Are we sure that story about the Titanium coming from the USSR is accurate?
We don't whether any intelligent life within detectable range has evolved. Intelligent civilizations could be rare enough that they're too far away. We simply don't know. Life itself could be incredibly rare, so no conclusions can be drawn.
My grandfather was an OG at the Skunk Works from the time where it was first established. He started at the Burbank plant and followed to Palmdale. He worked on a lot of those legendary projects and still has a ton of his old illustrations. This was a question of mine too - why was there so much innovation at such breakneck speed and why have things changed? His feeling is that it was a cultural one. In the early days of the Skunk Works, people felt and operated like it was the most secretive and important element of their lives and had a tremendous amount of pride for their work. He said that over time it began to operate less and less like a sidecar "elite unit" of engineering etc... and started to get integrated more into the rest of Lockheed. Then the culture began to fell apart because the bar was not as high.
IMO it depends on what WFH was originally sold as in your company.

If you sold it as "we have to do it because local Covid regulations", then you should be able to call them back to the office and fire/fine those who don't comply.

If WFH was "flexibility/improved productivity", then to rescind it you need to be able to show that it isn't delivering on that, which you should be able to do.

I can't speak for tech, in finance it was basically only ever COVID related so almost no one that I know had any issue coming back, and there were some very costly incidents at multiple banks that would never happen in office.

Run Weaviate Embedded in a Jupyter Notebook
Introducing Weaviate Embedded! You can now access all the features of Weaviate such as HNSW with symbolic filtering directly inside of a notebook! So if you are working with Google Colab or any kind of Jupyter notebook, this should make the setup of Weaviate a bit easier. We hope this will enable quicker prototyping of new ideas and CI pipelines. Please let us know what you think! https://weaviate.io/developers/weaviate/installation/embedded
25% is not a majority opinion. In fact it's a minority opinion.

So the majority of people seemly are able to discern lies by that data.

Which is a good thing for free speech and democracy.

> in which the vinyl version seems to have quite a bit more dynamic range than the digital or CD versions

Perhaps the mastering engineer did that intentionally? Surely the vinyl dynamic range doesn't exceed 96db.
I guess both perspectives seem completely rational to me. Why shouldn’t Ycombinator care most about viability and why shouldn’t startups care most about vision?

Each side needs to cater to the other a bit but ultimately this is just the difference between funders and builders.
> It seems like I'd probably have to stick with like late 2000's if I wanted a new vehicle

Unfortunately that's not possible for me: Crit'air certificates (which are based on EURO ratings) are being enforced. Our city is going to ban anything above and including level 2 by 2025.

It means I will have to let go of my other car (a '08 Civic Type-R, rated level 2) which is a damn shame and completely absurd to have to scrap it given its overall (at ~100000km it's mint-like) and yearly (2000km/yr, emission contribution is well below the noise floor) mileage.

That's also why we bought a 2020 Mazda 2 (level 1). There's AirPlay but apart from that it's all good. 3 trim levels which basically add HUD, bigger wheels, leather. Everything else is included from the basic one, zero options, completely opposite mindset from the software-gated nonsense. The engine compartment has plenty of room for maintenance and I could swear it was designed to hold a much bigger engine. The screen is touch-able, but disables touch over, like, 2km/h. Ultimately I just use the dial joystick, which is just so good. So, definitely, you don't need to go back 20 years to get a car you are in control of.

Ending a human life is a little different than ending human life. Especially given the implications posed by his inclusion of mentioning pathogens created in a lab.

Even if you have a "slasher drone", the threat itself is not really any different from a manually controlled drone where the operator has similar intentions.
Who sponsored this terrible article? Should we also go back to 25" console tv's that sit on the floor, with decorative brass handles just so this author can avoid ever having anything be different in their life? I've never, not even once, had an LED bulb misbehave as described in this article. They are at least as reliable as CFLs were, and although there are tradeoffs with other bulb types both good and bad, LEDs consume effectively no power compared to incandescent.

From the article:
```
I’d put one in the bedroom-ceiling fixture only a few months before. In theory, it should have been the last I would put up there for years, maybe even a decade. Instead, the bulb was a dim, dull orange, its levels of brightness visibly fluttering through the frosted dome.
```

What? And then they go on to talk about how hard it is to illegally find incandescent bulbs. This screams cognitive dissonance. An incandescent bulb's normal way of responding after several months to a year was to just not work anymore at all. That was just 'normal' and you would swap them out. If you went to any room in the country and looked at the light fixtures, you had a very good chance of finding bulbs that were burned out. It was normal to hear or say "we really need to replace the bulb in the pantry" but in the meantime not be able to see in there very well. Finding one led bulb that fails early is not an indictment of the technology, even if it was defective. For all we know his kid might have been throwing water balloons at it.

LED bulbs are great, they are now incredibly cheap and there is no reason to keep producing CO2 because of misoneic propaganda. If we want to reduce carbon emissions, we either have to pass the true cost of carbon to consumers, which would mean dramatically increasing energy costs to people who likely can't afford that, or we need to make it less likely to consume all that artificially cheap electricity wastefully. LED bulbs are a great way to do this.
Save on their electric bill with cheap LEDs that get the job done, while worrying about more important things than if the bulb flickers sometimes when you dim it?
If other companies follow suit, then it becomes a race to the bottom for all, except those at the top.
Crock of shit. My commute:

- Steals 10 hours of my time every week. I could spend 10 extra hours with my family, get better sleep, or actually have time for the gym

- Costs me thousands a year. Money wouldn't be so tight if I had the £200 extra a month my commute costs me.

- Causes ridiculous stress with all the dumbshits on the roads

- Force me to spend 2 hours a day in a car surrounded by other polluting vehicles

- Means I have no access to my kitchen to cook fresh, healthy meals without worrying about having to transport them to work/heat them up in gross microwaves

- Means that I can't make the most of my solar panels, which give me free electricity... during the hours I'm at work.

Siting in my car for 2 hours a day, getting increasingly stressed, is absolutely not good for my mind and body. Especially when I know I could be sat at home, in a relaxing environment, with all the comforts of home.
Transformers scale in training mainly because they are stateless!

They have a long lookback window (30,000 tokens in GPT4!) so the issues are smoothed over.

LSTMs end up being very finnicky to train and their sequential nature makes model scaling bottlenecked in parallelism.
I don't think this is true, as section 7.1 states:

The api hurts the Twitter. My company extracted lots of value from it, which Twitter didn’t monetize at all. But they had huge infrastructure and engineering effort to support the api. They never should have built it.
How common are wars between major powers of roughly the G20 level? The Falklands War is the only one in almost 80 years by my estimation. That is a drastic and notable decrease compared to the preceding centuries.
> life would recover completely

Interesting to consider this scenario since no creatures left could consider such a historically relatively new theory of origins.
This is where the idea meets the real world implementation. Yes, LED's can last longer, but the additional electrics used to convert from house-hold AC power can't.
Elon bough it because he wanted to branch out.
> I've never understood the affection for dimming lights. Essentially always I want lights on or off.

It's about choice. I have several dozen LED can lights in my house producing 1600 lumens each. Sometimes I want every bit of that power, but I also like being able to turn them down a bit in the evening when I don't need it.
I think their comment was meant to be taken as humour rather than a literal prediction.

Can you place those bulbs in the regular fluorescent "socket"? I bought a house and have a few burned out fluorescent looking long bulbs and I don't want to replace them with toxic bulbs.

I don't think this is a good idea.

Sublime Text is already a very good text editor. It could be even better, but I am not convinced than changing its distribution model would change anything at this stage.

The cost of the license is peanuts compared to the time I spend using it.

Of course there are many free and good alternatives, but Sublime is just a bit more polished and focused, it is near perfect for my use case.

It’s trivial to write a tool that interacts with the “ChatGPT 4” API to do exactly what you’re thinking of.

The tools are coming faster than you’d think, it’s just that most of the IDEs need a couple months to go through UI design, QA, testing, debugging, documentation, and release.
Agree on zero return over $500 or so! If your point isn't to spend money on "cosmetics", any cheap bookshelf stereo system is more than good enough.

That said, it's ok to blow your money on whatever someone wants. We don't need to judge others for doing what they want, it comes off as jealousy.
Because we're all going to interact with LLMs a lot more soon, I suspect many more of us will learn how unrewarding it is to converse with computers, except for assistance in accomplishing a task. Knowing that the other speaker understands nothing about your state of mind and can't commiserate even a little with your point of view will discourage social interaction with it, eventually.

Today's 'future shock' over conversant AI is just the leading edge of discovering another form of semi-human intelligence in the world. We'll adapt to it fairly soon, and realize that it's actually less interesting than an intelligent child. It's a fake human. Once we 'grok' that, we'll begin to look past it as a mere robot, just a tool. It will become a utility, a service, but not a friend. It's not human and it never will be.

Who wants to play for long with a robot?
Sounds depressing. That's how I feel when days are like that
Is there any effort to connect Scratch with LLMs?
In my case, I got a job I really enjoy doing, and I'm extremely productive at it, but I agree in general.
A great deal of inspiration comes from GitLess; it is an excellent project.

There’s been a ton of studies stating this was likely overblown in the early Cold War for propaganda purposes. It wouldn’t last long enough to wipe out humanity let alone all life.
Our disagreement here is just an indicator of how bills need to be written in a different plain English way so that laypeople like us can mutually understand it (I'm assuming you're a layperson like me)

How do you reconcile your understanding with the entirety of sections 3 and 5?

IN GENERAL The Secretary ... shall take action to identify, deter, disrupt, prevent, prohibit, investigate, or otherwise mitigate, including by negotiating, entering into, or imposing and enforcing any mitigation measure to address any risk arising from any covered transaction by any person

"Any person" of any "covered transaction"

A covered transaction is defined as a transaction by a foreign entity and

includes any other transaction ... subject to regulations prescribed by the Secretary

So this covers anything arbitrarily prescribed by the Secretary.

The definition of a "covered holding" is the same. It's foreign holdings and

any other holding subject to regulations prescribed by the Secretary
What makes you think this is the only source of that information and that Google and others who also collect this information aren’t providing it to whomever discreetly pays for it? Why is TikTok different than say Zoom? What do you think “China” is going to do with the location of every 13 year old girl? Send targeted kill bots to do something a bomb can do better? Or does it just creep you out that someone other than Google, Facebook, Palantir, and their customers from around the world has such information? Maybe the problem is pervasive spying by anyone?

If TikTok were doing anything criminal I would agree. They aren’t. And if they are there’s already methods of dealing with it. The content and medium of communication and forum of TikTok isn’t available anywhere else. I see this as no different than oppressive regimes everywhere banning Wikipedia, FB, etc. I’m shocked any honest tech person can’t see this is establishing a Great Wall in the US.
Also not OP, but I literally just learned about Hedy [1] today. No experience except from clicking through it for 20 minutes, but it looks quite interesting, taking somebody from a language with a very simple syntax (and limited functionality) to full blown Python, one level at a time, by making the language gradually more complicated (and more powerful).

Well, I'd guess for most people it doesn't matter whether the LED-chips themselves, capacitors, or some other part of the circuitry fails. If cost-cut cheap LED bulbs with components driven to the max are the norm, consumers will obviously associate LED bulbs with the kind of problems that causes and not with what LED tech could be if it'd be given more budget to breathe.
It's an interesting article (press release?) that makes an interesting point, although I personally realized as I was reading it that I don't think of biological evolution in terms of competition as much as I do differential survival or inheritance rates in some ecological context, possibly changing.

Sexual selection seems more directly relevant to the idea of competitive evolutionary processes though maybe?
Roku made nearly 5.5x as much on ad sales than they did selling actual devices last quarter.

Ad sales are very lucrative.
So far I've had better experiences with integrated lighting than individual bulbs. Normally the integrated lighting means they've got more space to try and cram things like power supplies in there and can use a lot of the actual fixture to cool down the electronics. Meanwhile, fixtures designed to not care about the bulbs getting hot roast the LED bulbs and can cause early failure.

What makes it feel low level to you? Axum has been my favorite way to do HTTP servers for some time. Especially where it is now, everything feels expressive, and I can do whatever I need to. If you're just doing basic stuff it makes it easy and if you're going beyond that it makes it possible.

There are a few parts of the learning curve that come up but the official examples showcase it all beautifully and the community is very responsive if you ask for help.
> but clearly the "if you fire all these engineers the service is going to collapse and stop working" doomsaying was unfounded.

Despite all the firings, Twitter's financials are worst than pre-acquisition. How comes? Advertisers pulling out. Why? Firing abuse and content moderation teams meant there was a lot more unsavory spam on the platform and advertisers didn't want any of it near their brand. Remember the Twitter Blue two days of spam?

Not only that, but it's been leaked that Twitter is trying hard to recruit some laid-off employees with huge comp packages. Without a lot of success.
Nice and easy interface - I like it. User preferred Dates or month preference can make it more useful.

Also, "optimal location to meet your friends" is better use case than "meet your remote team".
>and not the kind of errors a human would make.

I don't really agree that a junior writer would never make some of those money-related errors. (And AIs seem particularly unreliable with respect to that sort of thing.) But I would certainly hope that any halfway careful editor qualified to be editing that section of the site would catch them without a second look.

I've seen it go both ways, at least for LEDs.

My house came with installed LED bulbs that were absolute shit. Within a year all the can lights eventually would turn a purpley dim color and slowly all started to fail within the same time and would fail to turn on. Same thing with the smaller fixtures - all started to fail around the same time.

Each time one failed I replaced it with a higher quality LED and every bulb has now been replaced. Most lights I've only replaced once and it's been 6-7 years at least for many of them without any problems.

Previously I used to use incandescent lights and replacing them was a frequent occurrence and just an expected thing to maintain.
Why People Are Getting More Disruptive at Concerts
I agree that it's probably still niche, but judging by the expanding section of smart lighting at my local Home Depot, my guess is it has gone beyond techies at this point. Home Depot definitely doesn't cater to tech folks.
In my experience LEDs have been a little more reliable than CFL, but that’s not saying much… those things you could almost watch burn out.
I would happily pay for a dumb TV, if they existed. They don't seem to anymore.

I have a Samsung Q-series TV now and tried using the smart TV apps for a while, but many were buggy and often had audio/video desync issues. I might blame part of that on the soundbar, but I gave up and got an Apple TV 4K and haven't had any issues at all.
That's funny, I remember going through incandescent bulbs pretty quickly. I always knew where the extra light bulbs were in the house and they were a not-uncommon grocery list item.

It's been a long time since I thought of that. I don't keep spare bulbs around anymore and can't remember the last time an LED bulb burnt out.
Hijacking Is Buffer Overflow (Sept 2001)
Suppose a tub was best at two inches of water, got worse for every inch, and overflowed at four feet.

And you had turned on the tap and there is now three feet of water. You propose:

1. Reducing the rate of the tap

2. Turning off the tap

3. Turning off the tap and removing water until it gets back to two inches

Most people think of climate change prevention as #1. #3 is what actually gets you back to ideal.

But if you get back to that level and then leave the tap off, things are fine and no active management is required.

This is a good list, but I'm continually surprised that people ignore what seems to me like the worst realistic danger of AI. That is the use of AI by militaries, law enforcement, and intelligence agencies. AI will cause a huge expansion of the power of these institutions, with no accompanying increase in the power of the people to control them.

Forget the Terminator scenario. We don't need to invoke science fiction to imagine the atrocities that might result from an unchecked increase in military and law enforcement power. AI that obeys people is just as scary as AI that doesn't. Humans are plenty capable of atrocities on our own. Just look at history. And regulation is unlikely to save us from government abuse of AI; quite the opposite in fact.

Listening stopped a long, long time ago. If it ever happened at all.

Most of the fist-shaking about "free speech" isn't about speech. It's about forcing people to listen -- by people who are intent on not listening themselves. And if anything has caused people to stop listening, it's the fact that there has been a conspicuous effort to waste their time with unpleasant and unproductive "free speech".

I've been hearing for decades that "we just need to listen". I believe that I have been listening, and during that time what I hear has gotten worse and worse. I don't believe it's possible for me to listen harder, or better, or whatever.

"More listening" isn't something that only one side of a conversation can achieve. That notion is easily weaponized: "You have to listen, while I talk." This is a very, very old way of excusing a lack of listening.
How could that ever work with languages that have different noun/verb/idea ordering?

Intent translation generally requires you to say your sentence in your language, then the translator adds/removes words and can swap order of stuff around.

It carries out static/dynamic/metadata analysis and scans for 40+ attributes such as num funcs/files, spawning of shell, use of SSH keys, network communication, use of decode+eval, mismatch of GitHub code vs packaged code (provenance), change in APIs across versions, etc. to flag risky packages.
