Not talking about AI; but if you want to work on compilers, linux kernel, game engine optimization, GPU optimized code and many many other things than web development you need to be more than familiar with how to work with machine instructions, albeit not working with it every single day. These are significant parts of the industry which make the rest possible.

Bill Shillito - Introduction to Higher Mathematics | Just the clarity of presentation and pacing.

MIT Calculus Revisited - An almost perfect no nonsense presentation (I like black boards too)

Francis Su - Real Analysis - Very engaging lecture style and great board work.

Feynman Messenger Lectures - Well its Feynman, and the content is interesting if you are still somewhat new to it.

BBC OU courses from generations ago (e.g. Geometrical Topology)

NPTEL can have some amazingly well done lecture courses.

Also StatQuest and Luis Serano for intuition/conceptualization in Stats & ML.

I have been aggregating YouTube lectures at various curation channels that contain what YouTube calls Multiple Playlists that is lists of playlists. I'm perhaps not even half way into filling them up and the lecturers are choosingbto record and upload their courses more and more.

[YouTube Aggregation/Curation](https://arisbe.carrd.co/#section03)

Note that YouTube has a strange UI design that people overlook. You have to click on a multiple playlist title to see all its playlists.
Are you suggesting they should completely give up auditing middle-income taxpayers? That feels like demanding the police should stop all road traffic monitoring because it targets regular people who are just trying to get somewhere by car.

If the law isn’t enforced for a particular group, it doesn’t exist for them. But completely even and fair enforcement is an ideal that’s usually impossible to reach — the traffic cops only catch a small minority of speeders and drunk drivers.
I wonder if this is related to prejudices. A survival instinct.
It's not imitation though, which would be copying their method.
Note how long reactors have been offline since the earthquake.
FWIW, last time I attempted to install a Python dev environment under Windows (for teaching purposes), I eventually gave up because I couldn't get all my dependencies working. That is an important data point for me. Fortunately, I had a macbook at hand for teaching, but that's hardly ideal.

I'm not sure what you mean about Rust not extending into the same depth, could you elaborate?
Ask anybody who had psychosis - that's their prediction machine going crazy.
Insurance companies work typically by sharing risk between insurers. Against risks that are relatively common in aggregate, so that you can calculate a reasonable price for the risk.

The occurrence of nuclear accidents is so rare and the potential cost so high that a typical insurance company business model can't accommodate that risk.

You could try develop some kind of insurance bond scheme where nuclear power plant needs to raise a capital buffer to protect against accidents, and in case of an accident, bond investors lose their money. But even this kind of a scheme would be pretty difficult to pull off in a scale that would cover all potential losses, and someone (government) would need to take the tail risk.

And just to be clear, even now, nuclear plants do not go completely uninsured.

I've learned to see overtly enthusiastic consensus as a red flag for tech innovation. Things like PCs, GUIs, smartphones, social media etc that legit disrupted society got big adoption first then the changes ensued by that caught the collective attention.

People swooning over expected change is usually a pretty good signal reality will fall short.
I will read that as sarcasm. :)

I guess one truly doesn't and can't own software unless they buy 100% controlling equity in its rights OR create it entirely themselves.
There was a fairly effective push to dismantle groups linked to Trump's electoral success [0]. They had a similar air of bullshit charges that only became an issue because prosecutors wanted to achieve political ends.

It is weird, but it is likely he is being threatened. If they can get Trump arrested for this, they can certainly put Cohen in jeopardy.

Trump’s base scares the hell out of DC for very good reason.

“Jan 6th but an actual insurrection with guns and political/military leaders”

Or

“Southwestern sheriff decides to expel illegal immigrants on his own, requests ‘MAGA patriots’ to come on down and get deputized, atrocities ensue, feds get involved and it spirals into a state vs federal fiasco (which sounds fanfic but Abbott and DeSantis are clearly sympathetic to the idea)”

I honestly think that the second scenario or at least another Malheur Wildlife Refuge/Waco style standoff is only a matter of time - and judging by DoJ’s public priorities, they’re extremely concerned about it as well.
I'm pretty sure that indent was around even in the early 80's. Even if you couldn't be bothered to run it, your tutor could have. Must not have been a very good tutor to fail you for style.

We should send AI to space, let it train on whatever and come back and teach us. Humans too boring.
This was a reference to this statement:

> Asking citizens to pay their fair share of taxes should not include them spending a day or two every year trying to find a piece of paper to mail to an agency which _already has that piece of paper_ and is categorically more equipped to process it.

There are so many duplicate fields and redundant parts in Elster and the pre-fill function is a joke.
But still most of the reactors were taken offline and a lot are not coming back. I would invest into a technology which would not take out all similar systems for months and years on a strong earthquake - something which is to expect in Japan.
Believe it or not, it improved tremendously in the last 10 years:

- easy_install, distutils and eggs were deprecated

- ensurepip and venv were introduced

- the whole wheel ecosystem flourished

- a new dependency resolver was introduced to python

But:

- a lot of noise has accumulated. Hence the procedure in the previous article, to avoid the traps from all that noise and go back to what usually works.

- we have a long way to go, but it's not something easily fixed (hence the conclusion of the current article explaining why it's going to take a long time to get better).
To me it's a feature. If I ask any human, often I get "no" as an answer, but with ChatGPT I can be confident that it will produce something, whether it's right or wrong. If it constantly said "I'm nut sure, I'd rather decline this one", I'd be tempted to ask it to go on anyway. If it's wrong, it's wrong, but let me decide. It might be close!
Someone here on HN wrote once that he uses Intellij for it's Git interface. Idea and PyCharm Community editions are free. Worth checking out IMHO. I use Intellij, but can totally understand if it is not evereyones' cup of tea.
Not PP but I've been employed & self employed in Norway, with a similar system, and being self employed was a bit more work throughout the year, keeping up with invoices & receipts. You have to keep up to date for that as you have to send regular VAT statements. You need to use some accounting software, but if you're a small business you probably have that anyway. That accounting software has to integrate to the tax authorities and at end of year was just push a button to submit final numbers.

Then you wait for your updated tax return later in the year, which would automatically combine self-employed earnings, wages, investments, debts, tax deductions due to paying for childcare, etc... I normally have to spend 10-15 minutes to correct that if something like a travel calculation for my employer is wrong.

The indictment was filed under seal, so why does CNN and the New York Times know what's in it?
> The result of GPT is highly plausible fiction which oftentimes happens to be factually correct.

Exactly. Short and to the point.

This is my take: For usecases where mistakes don't matter a lot, this is actually useful.

Some examples: generated fiction (mistakes are not mistakes but just an unexpected variation of a story), story-building for a game, and also everywhere you can fix the mistakes yourself (by fact-checking, getting started yourself, or escalating).

Of course this is dangerous if you are not able to catch the mistakes yourself.

I have the feeling: if consumers are powerless then AI is absolutely detrimental. They have to suck up the mistakes and even worse, they might be clueless being fed bullshit.

Some people indistinctly sense that and are afraid.
The tax code is full of subsidies in the form of "credits". Some are non-refundable, so it only applies up to the amount of taxes you owe. But many are refundable so it can send your tax bill into the negative. That is, a refund. It's a convoluted form of social welfare in all but name.
More than just layoffs: the company is pretty much dead, unable to secure new funding.
So many installers for windows software tried to sneak the yandex toolbar past people clicking "next" without looking, it became a meme.
I found that giving GPT explicit instructions about die rolling hemp a surprising amount. I also crafted a prompt that told chat GPT to switch between different modes (narrative, dialog, and combat). The rolls helped prevent it from just doing what I said, though it still biased towards that
Doesn’t stop people like Pence and Lindsey Graham from cynically playing to the crowd by describing as outrageous charges that haven’t been made public yet
> Throw all the politics and "special reasoning" around Trump out. Charge based on the facts, evidence, and law.

That is not done in other cases. Why is it not "special treatment" to do it to Trump?

> A declination even if the prosecutor thinks Trump is guilty, but they don't have the evidence to convince a jury isn't special treatment. That's—as you note—a routine declination.

That's not what I'm noting. Failing to prosecute is the ordinary case for almost all crimes. It is absolutely routine for nonviolent crimes. So we have a prosecutor that thinks that Donald Trump really is guilty of whatever the charge is, and it's easy to prove it in court.

And the same prosecutor also knows that everyone in the government within three levels of the president really is guilty of very similar crimes, and those would all also be easy to prove in court.

Then he charges Trump and moves on with his life. That's not special treatment?
> I completely disagree. Where exactly are you going to put a power supply in a room? Make a special electrical box for it? Won't it be unsightly in many rooms, or need some huge special panel that looks like a breaker panel?

This sounds like a non-issue, specially considering the pervasive use of "unsightly" installations like air ducts, heating vents, radiators, electrical sockets, telecommunication service panels, routers, and even light fixtures.

If you intentionally dismiss obvious solutions, of course you only end up with problems without obvious solutions.

He ran against like 17 Republicans, including major political dynasties like the Bush's. He easily swept the primaries...

Then in the generals he went and flipped Pennsylvania and won more counties than any R since Reagan.

You can look at the turnout and total votes to see it blows away your "weak candidate" argument.

I just don't think America likes dynasties or the political establishment. You can see it from grassroot campaigns like Reagan and Trump.

Most of the time they get shoved in your face and there's no choice, but when there is a popular alternative, it's a clear choice.
How far have Blink and Webkit diverged? Do they still take patches from each other?
> “We shouldn’t hold politicians accountable for their crimes because their supporters won’t like it”

This is not the point OP is making. The point is that there is deep divide, and this is populist move from once side trying to remove one of the contenders from the race (ironically, dems would be better off if they would allow Trump to run since then they are likelier to win).

This move is extremely dangerous since it is directed on ex-president. If presidents know that once they will leave office others side would come for their head, guess what, they would not leave office. Dictatorship, police state, potential civil war, and risk it for what? For getting cheap brownie points agains washed-out politician?
What’s the clone? Do you recommend it?
This is all irrelevant. If more funding for the IRS increases tax revenues (which it does, at a rate of $7 for each $1 last I checked) then that's revenue coming from taxes which are legally owed and not being paid.

If you are paying taxes as you legally are required too, then they are higher then necessary because other people are cheating the system.
Ah, lobbying, the democratic practice of one dollar, one vote.
Here's someone else's fast-sine code snippet I found and used about a decade ago when I was working on an additive synthesizer I never finished. It basically uses the same method, Taylor series approximation.

Driving it as an oscillator relies on just a single integer addition operation per sample to increment the phase, and relies on integer overflow to reset the phase.

I like the comment from someone asking if it could really be so fast since it has 7 whole multiplications in it. Ah I love the realtime dsp world, so different from my python/JS day job.

Isn't it true that almost all information is garbage? Stephen Hawking said:

> So the rate of biological evolution in humans, is about a bit a year. By contrast, there are about 50,000 new books published in the English language each year, containing of the order of 100 billion bits of information. Of course, the great majority of this information is garbage, and no use to any form of life. But, even so, the rate at which useful information can be added is millions, if not billions, higher than with DNA.

I wouldn’t touch any of those game systems with 10-ft pole. Their user bases are too small to be worth using. They also don’t at all compare to the Flash IDE.

Flash was great because it was popular and supported with the weight of a big company that loved its own child. Their love translated to great tooling.

Whereas the web is “community-owned” and community/committee-designed things rarely get super cool and fleshed out things like well-integrated for-everyone tooling. Instead, you mostly get self-serving projects that serve the creator’s own need primarily. Usually half-baked. And it’s not interoperable with anything else.
> First, guess what is one of the most abundant element on earth. Uranium.

Your source says it's the 48th most abundant element in crustal rocks. Doesn't sound that common to me.
That was also an outrageous and silly charge and representative a failure of the legal system to live up to its ideals of process and fairness. It wasn't especially political though, because by and large there is consensus that being a gangster should be illegal and that Capone was probably a gangster.

Attempting to take a popular political figure out by blatant abuse of the legal abuse is a bit more concerning.
Seems the much bigger threat for Intuit is ChatGPT-like tools. Understanding confusing manuals or rules and then explaining them is exactly what it does best. I'd be very surprised if in two years we aren't all using AI for our taxes as a matter of routine.
All the research indicates you are as smart as you are born according to measures of intelligence in psychology. You can boost your intelligence up to 10 IQ points with intense practice but that is extremely temporary.

What you can do is instead learn to enhance your personality as such results yield long term benefits (sometimes permanent). For example conscientiousness is negatively correlated with intelligence but boosting your conscientiousness increases your capacity for self-improvement (including increased learning and thus intelligence). Same with lowering your neuroticism. Expanding your openness is directly correlated with increasing both intelligence and happiness.

Perhaps the single most important short term thing that yields long term changes to the mind is to improve yourself physically. Becoming athletic results in short term measurable increases to intelligence.

The single greatest differentiator is becoming more physically durable. When you are less prone to injury, heal faster, and physically tougher you are less risk adverse. Your neuroticism drops to near 0. This alters everything about how you perceive the world including what you do with your time, your interests, and your relationships with other people. It directly affects what and how you learn and the paths you take to accomplish work tasks, even something as boring as writing code.

Unfortunately physical durability is largely fated to good genetics and good diet. The maximum soft tissue healing rate for compound injuries in humans is about 70 hours (it’s also the maximum infectious rate for microbes in humans). Some people have that near invincibility naturally like Wolverine in the comic books (not the movies). Some people have unbreakable bones (soft bones at 1.5-8x higher density). Some people can naturally produce vitamin D in the dark without need for sunlight or risk of depression (gingers).

> Instead we may actually get to a spot where the check mark subconsciously signals a low quality account instead of a high quality.

While I'm not sure it ever really signalled a _high quality_ account (it did at one time usually signal an _important_ account), I mean, we're very much already there on the paid checkmarks signalling a low quality account.
This article and discussion thread has been really insightful. I've been avoiding chatgpt because I feel like I will not learn as well compared to prototyping and agonising through documentation.

I'll take this mentality onboard to more ambitious projects.
I don't see what practical difference any of this makes. We can play word games all day long, but that won't convince Blake Lemoine or countless Replika users. To them, it's not "a character in a story", and that's the important point here.

It's only possible to own software by owning the rights to it, but the de facto and ordinary use of the word is to own a legal license to it. Conflating the meaning to the literal word would be an ungracious interpretation.

With or without licensure, it's possible to own control over software use with a stand-alone, offline installation source if it lacks the technical means to deny such installation.

Nuance in the mainstream landscape of ownership expectations of media changed in the 1980's when software became easily and widely reproducible. Copy-protection and DRM invaded software, then music, film, and finally (e)books as well. Much history will be lost due to an inability to archive works guarded by walled-gardens locked away by DRM.
Show HN: Cerebras-GPT-2.7B finetuned on Stanford Alpaca dataset
Yes I know, this is yet another language model. I used PEFT to finetune the Cerebras-GPT-2.7B on Alpaca, which makes for a very very fast, coherent, albeit hallucinating model.

It took 5 hours on a vast.ai machine at 29 cents an hour, so less than a dollar and a half to finetune.

The repository contains steps to reproduce the model, the dataset, links to the merged-in model on huggingface, a colab notebook, and the LoRA weights.

There's also a chatbot app, and a link to a ggml version of the model you can run via https://github.com/ggerganov/ggml on your CPU alone!

Enjoy!

Now I'm worried some enterprising security researcher will find a Spectre vulnerability in my thought process
Most indictments are never sealed (if the accused has been arrested on other charges, for example, there isn't much use in trying to keep it secret from the accused), and the ones that are always become unsealed in order to go to trial. There are a number of reasons to file an indictment under seal - ranging from juvenile records to managing flight risks of the accused.

The one that is probably most pertinent in this case has to do with testimony in front of a grand jury: both encouraging it to occur, and preventing it from being tampered with by the accused.
According to Wikipedia there is about 422 commercial reactors in the world and so far in history about 18 meltdowns. So statistically 4% of reactors will have a meltdown. To me that is crazy, and does not sound safe. Even if these accidents have not lead to direct deaths each one is an environmental catastrophe that is impossible to clean up. And that is just meltdowns - the most serious of all accidents.
Hey just wanted to take this chance to thank the Retool people. Retool was absolutely essential for our last startup. And they have been super responsive with bugs. A great product!
I describe it as the difference between "software development" and "software engineering". Or between "business" and "infrastructure". Both are valuable, but have different demands on understanding, rigor etc.
I’m still a grad student in math, so I cannot really buy a gaming PC.
I suspect that avgcorrection is suggesting that we don't have enough evidence to know whether either is the case.
Agreed! This is such an amazing use case for developers. You can explore ideas with ChatGPT without having a code editor in front of you, and this is so much better than my previous methods of quick notes, pseudocode, etc. The thought that you can work with ChatGPT for an hour or two and have a very-refined application ready to put together when you get to a computer, it's a totally different connection than I've felt to software development.

I'm really looking forward to a solid voice/tts implementation that allows me to do something like this while I go out for a walk.
