Given sufficient information about your personal biomechanics, a sufficiently advanced AI may be able to suggest the right fingering for you. But the main problem with this (and I think this is something that many in this thread simply don't have the familiarity with) is that fingering is simply a 2D projection of the multiple-dimensional problem of how you need to move your entire upper body to play a piece.

I'll use a piece that I am practicing right now to illustrate: Chopin Etude Op 25 #1 ("Aeolian Harp").

Sheet music: https://imslp.org/wiki/Special:ReverseLookup/112921 (the Herrmann Scholtz one)
Performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ob0AQLp3a5s

For intermediate pianists (perhaps even beginners), the possible fingerings are actually really obvious just from looking at the notes, especially when using the suggested fingerings as a guide. This piece is structured around playing broken chords in circles, so there aren't really any fingering tricks here.

Notice the chords like the first right hand chord on the second bar on the second line, or the simpler left hand 4-note chords on the third line of the second page. Despite the obvious fingerings, somehow you need to figure out how play a broken chord that spans 15 keys, a distance that no one can comfortably cover by just stretching thumb and pinky. And that is because this piece is a study in the circular motion of the wrist (and really, the entire arm). If you do not realize this and try to simply try to stretch your fingers to go from key to key, not only will that limit your ability to increase your speed, but will build tension in your wrist as you go through this piece and eventually lead to injury. Not to mention that it really hurts to stretch your fingers with a static wrist.

(In my Jan Ekier edition of this piece, some of these ~15 key chords have two fingering suggestions that you can play with to decide which one you prefer.)

It may eventually be solvable, but this is a multiple dimensional problem, and a useful AI for this will need to give you a solution in multiple dimensions. If an AI can teach me all the motions of Chopin's etudes and allow me to just think about how to voice these pieces, maybe I won't need a teacher anymore.
Haha, that’s actually a good and fair question. I don’t actually know the answer to that. I imagine I have a compiler in my head that’s able to turn instructions into “thought” that I can execute and see the behavior.

It's impossible to own software. There is no such thing in the laws. You are only owining various rights regarding to it. As a creator, you have all the original rights, and then you can grant some of them to others via licencing, such as the right to make a copy and use the software (this is what is commonly portrayed as "buying software"). Same with all other copyrightable material.
> Like SonarQube?

No. Instead of linting or static analysis, we tell you when a recent code change is causing your software to behavior or perform differently when handling a particular test case. Like Cypress but for software workflows that don't have a web interface or are not easy to test end-to-end.

> My company can barely invest in 80% unit test coverage. We have engineers writing tests to game coverage with no assertions.

Organizations are already investing in this other type of test by assigning QA teams to write and run manually or using software test automation tools. Touca offers a developer-friendly alternative to these tools that helps orgs save costs. It's a shift-left testing solution that helps engineers get the same confidence that QA teams provide, during the development stage.

From my experience, teams resort to superficial coverage goals because higher-level tests or the test infra needed to continuously run them are too expensive and complicated to run. We wanted to fix that.

Seems like a solvable problem in the medium term - Electron apps are, in effect, a web page; build an accessible page, the Electron runtime _should_ be able to join the dots same as a full browser does.
I am using it in exactly the same way. I have access to ideas and code that I never would have tried before.

These other well-documented experiences that sound super perfect don’t match mine, though I’m a fan! Here’s how it goes for me.

I am a premium user and all, but it still bails on me every single time it’s going well, by writing half of a function or saying “network error”, then losing context.

I have to say “you stopped generating that last part, please continue and don’t bother qualifying.” Then it wastes more tokens apologizing anyway.

Whoever trained these models to apologize and say “as a large language model, I can’t promise that I know how Bjarne Stroustrup would refactor that bitshift, and yada yada” really wasted a lot of our productivity. And saved no one from any dangers of AI.

ML for protein engineering is incredibly fascinating — and pretty much all of it, including RFdiffusion is built on structure prediction models.

This series of talks by Nazim Bouatta is exceptional, helped me appreciate and make sense of these models. Incredible how you can engineer neural nets to learn with way lesser data when you incorporate the right inductive biases: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0NRmB0fnLJQPDZh-6utVnRpF...
AP calc is basically useless. I took all the math classes in high school and memorized all the formulas but nobody taught me how to use the math to solve problems. You know word problems.
Well now with deep learning I can apply the chain rule. None of those classes prepared me to be a math major or how to do proofs. It’d be better if we taught kids how to model problems and apply the tools.

I think statistics is a better subject to learn early and often. Way more useful across disciplines.

Anyway I think we know that high performing math countries teach math totally different than we do and they produce way better engineers, so why don’t we do what they do?

I mean seriously I work in tech and all the engineers are foreign educated.
Everything seems easy when you cannot stop and think and have to output the next token after doing the fixed amount of processing. It's amazing what GPT-4 can do given this limitation.

Password manager. The password for which you're best off randomly generating and memorizing if you're able (one of my grandparents can't remember a 4-digit banking PIN so that's a sticky note on the back of her card... do what one can).

Also memorize, if possible, a few other important things like your bank password, or rely on 2FA for that, e.g.: we have a system where you log in with a reader for your card itself, so your password being stolen and your chip+pin being stolen is a risk I accept. If someone is after me specifically enough to get physical things out of my pocket, I'm not confident about resisting a rubber hose for that password / they can also install a keylogger.

For generating a password, it just needs enough entropy if you calculate log(pool^elements)/log(2):

- pick 6 actually random words (like in the xkcd) from a 7776-word dictionary like diceware, or some other combination that gets you at least 72 bits of randomness (so here it is log(7776^6)/log(2)),

- or use a much shorter but slightly harder to remember set of random characters (a-z, A-Z, 0-9 would need 13 characters. If you don't want to bother with shift at all but include a few (10) symbols that don't need shift, add one character.

Depending on the password manager, it would strengthen with a KDF, but that depends on details and remembering just a handful of 72+ bits of randomness should be attainable for most people if they use it regularly (at least once or twice a month after the memorization phase).

I should really find a canonical source for this so I don't have to write this up every time. Not sure if Schneier has this somewhere but I looked at e.g. the Wikipedia on password strength (a source people would trust) and it's less explicit and also contained a pretty bad mistake for more than a year not so long ago...
Am I the only one that isn’t blocked by coding speed (I can MVP very fast with lot of techstacks) but with … deployment?

Don’t get me wrong, I am a senior DevOps, know my terraform/CDK/… and AWS/heroku/digitalocean/hetzner/vercel/… stuff by heart, so it’s not missing knowledge.

But I really hate the maintenance work down the road. I just don’t want to get emails about some deprecated stuff from some provider and have to do anything just so stuff keeps running. I would pay a premium (!) for a stability guarantee not in service uptime but toolchain reliability :/
CPUs do have a 'hardware' (I guess microcode) implementation in the 80387 era FPU. But it isn't used. One reason is that the software implementation is faster in modern floating point code. I don't know about GPUs but I would guess compilers transparently take care of that.

"By intentionally obscuring their payments through Perkins Cole and failing to publicly disclose the true purpose of those payments,” the campaign and DNC “were able to avoid publicly reporting on their statutorily required FEC disclosure forms the fact that they were paying Fusion GPS to perform opposition research on Trump with the intent of influencing the outcome of the 2016 presidential election,” the initial complaint had read."

The truth is you could pin a charge on a large percentage of politicians if you were determined to. There's clearly an element of selective prosecution here, regardless of whether the charge is valid. To make a martyr of Trump over small time crimes is not going to be good for the country in the end.

Fair argument. The spam fee should be proportional to the amount of spam rather than account or fixed monthly fee. Some kind of micropayment per spam item. Per repo, or per commit / per release in case of NPM?

Micropayments on internet have always proven difficult to implement. No silver bullets.
This store is great. But I also want to point out that there are more specialty bookstores too. I got a couple Rudolf Steiner books from a store dedicated to those and they sent me a handwritten card and such. Really nice experience when you’re not used to it

I couldn't agree more. I work as a software engineer in the medical field (think MRI's, X-rays, that sort of thing). I've started using ChatGPT all the time to write the code, and then I just fix it up a bit. So far it's working great!
Splitting the federal revenue across household doesn't make sense since a lot of these taxes are collected from companies as well. Also, in the presence of a progressive taxation rates splitting it across the number of households makes it even worse.

Most of the oil money goes to the sovereign wealth fund, but the industry itself is huge including both drilling operations, corporate and a gigantic service sector and so on which of course participates directly in the economy. Oil is taxed at a very high rate and that tax money is what goes to the sovereign wealth fund. F.ex. Equinor, the majority state owned oil company payed 50 billion dollars in tax for 2022.

Some of the funds profit can be used to prop up the state budget, but it's regulated so as to not over heat the economy.

Rob? Is that you?
I think this discussion is pointless. No "project" depends on conda/anaconda, because a package manager, in Python, is a means of deployment at most. If indeed you have some project that comes with a conda environment description (or dockerfile or whatever) then all you need to do to make it run on BSD is figure out a way that works on BSD. Of which there are certainly many. It's really just that conda environments are pretty damn convenient for Windows and Linux in the context of numerical libraries.

Every generation faces this sort of issue which is learning skills for the current technology which then get displaced in 20-30 years. I think there's always a worry we're going to lose some knowledge in the process but equally the productivity gain seems to be 10x and it leads to dealing with higher level problems. Very few people are kernel hacking now as a percentage of the overall engineering community.

I guess the question is. What do we build with this form of engineering. It's so very early. We're using it as a way to augment current systems but I think we'll build for entirely new things soon.

1. Corporations are not citizens.

2. From reading this thread, it seems US citizens are scared out of their minds. Scared of making a mistake, when filing their taxes. And it appears that Biden's proposed reform aims to alleviate that fear.
This beyond funny how you present well-researched answer explaining republican’s point of view in a post contrasting left-vs-right viewpoints but just get downvoted for doing so.

HN is so overrun by ultra-lefties and is so unmoderated (on such topics), that is impossible to have productive discussion here.
I find writing correct code from scratch to be much easier than fixing somebody else's, nevermind AI prompted for code.
I tried using ChatGPT a bit with the GPT4 model and it seems quite promising, but also very slow. When it's writing out the same function again with a change I asked for, it reminds me of the old days when connecting to a BBS with a 300 baud modem.

Am I doing it wrong somehow?
It’s also much higher risk and opportunity cost up front. Having to convince a team of people that they should adopt my vision and also not get paid for a year is tough. Not impossible, but really rather tough.

> in the real world, when you write war criminal, people think someone convicted of a war crime

First, no, people commonly speak based on beliefs about commission of crime without conviction. Similarly, they often do not describe people as criminals who are convicted, if they disagree with the conviction.

Second, in any case, Yoo is, aside from being a person who has committed war crimes, in fact, strictly speaking, a convicted war criminal. (One might, of course, disagree with either the accuracy or the process of that conviction, or both, but if conviction is all that you think matters…)
Well now svgs support web sockets and webrtc, so.... not that crazy.
It seems that you could also say it didn't run fine if there were an invasion, for much the same reasons, but that wouldn't, in most cases, make it a valid critique of the way things were being run, especially with regard to the actual subject here, which regards the tax regime.
Premises exposed in the first paragraph feels completely out of touch with reality to me.

You can not compare death by, say accident in building construction, with those caused by a major nuclear incident. If anything, deaths caused by such a punctual event is marginal compared to the global effect of nuclear industry, its mines, its million year wastes and the awfully embarassing target it provides in military conflicts. Find me any other industry that is comparable in term of geopolitical risks and ecological impact, and then you can maybe start to make some relevant points.

I will buy that nuclear plants are too safe when we have a tracking record of absence of any major incident for a duration of plutonium half-life period.

All the said, I'm not fundamentally against use of nuclear energy. But let's not pretend any arbitrary conclusion can be supported by flawed premises.
The (presumably relative) error of 0.05% implies only ~11 significant bits, while 32-bit and 64-bit floating point formats have 24 and 53 significant bits respectively. If your sine has only 11 correct bits and you are okay with that, why do you have much more than 11 bits of input precision after all?

EDIT: Someone (sorry, the comment was removed before I could cite one) mentioned that it is actually for Q1.15 fixed point. So it was not even an "alternative" implementation...
If one bothers to care about heat sinking, they might actually test the thing and opted not overdrive it. It's just a good totally layman indicator.

Funny enough most mains/350V DC, chips tend to have a limiting resistor for the current drive - lower resistance = high current. Most (if not all) have two resistors in parallel (for a better control, and less power per resistor) - desoldering one would greatly improve the lifespan for a minimal luminosity loss. So by picking a larger heatsink, they might picked a bit large value for the resistors as well.
How about no? Democracies have no business making it more efficient for the government to hoard or sift through emails.

Sad thing is that some consequences are only seen after a decade, like cancer incidence in a population.

A similar thing happened in East Palestine derail, mortality is 0 by the accident itself and the long-term consequences are ignored. I guess you cannot produce an argument in favor of just not maintaining rail tracks just because nobody dies from those accidents...
