Chimpanzees are extremely dangerous when angry and can easily overpower a human. It took a long time for humanity to get to the point of being able to fight off a troop of wild chimps and a lot of the effort required wasn't simply being smarter, it involved a lot of time consuming building and risk taking.
My suggestion has always been, companies may not own companies. Only a real, live human being may own a portion of a company.

Combine this with public records of company officers and large shareholders. Problem solved.

It could be like getting another country to manufature all of your goods. It works at the beginning, you get everything you want, and then lose the capacity to make things yourself.
The DMCA specifically acknowledges that it cannot limit free speech, and it specifically defines what is prohibited:

"No person shall manufacture, import, offer to the public, provide, or otherwise traffic in any technology, product, service, device, component, or part"

Mere advise is almost certainly safe.
Probably a factor.

Another is that some men are uncomfortable with a wealthier partner. I know a few like this who say it plainly, but it showed up recently in "Crazy Rich Asians" with the tech CEO husband.

thanks for using Supabase andrew.

Are you using it to store the embeddings (pgvector)? I'm asking to see where you're differentiating between supabase & pinecone. We get this question often and it's interesting to hear what others are doing and where they feel pgvector isn't appropriate
It's not stupid, they're literally exporting it. And I have to add, it's a whole new level of Americentrism that I have never seen before to define the word "export" in terms of the distances between US states.

What impact would UBI have on inflation? I've read some things about minimum wage increases largely going to landlords. If everyone has 30k, 30k is not worth much, right?
If that 12M$ paint job had been accessible via an easy-to-use city web UI, probably some political gadfly would have spotted it at an early enough stage ?
Well, at a place like SpaceX you have many layers of people. First, you have people like Elon and the managers who learned from him. Elon is famous for ripping people to shreds in meetings. Yelling and screaming at them. Telling them just how stupid they are in front of the entire room.

Layers of managers emulate this and treat people like shit in meetings. Not everyone, of course. You then have thousands of young freshly-graduated people who are in a range between not having a clue to believing they are hot shit because they come from a top university and work at SpaceX.

In the middle of all of this, you have a —-relatively speaking— small group of older, experienced people who make it all work. They work around folks who can’t create a decent Excel spreadsheet to save their lives and the “I have a Masters degree from MIT” crowd who truly need to be humbled.

Somehow the entire thing works. A reflection of society in some ways? It seems every company and society is, in some form, carried on the shoulders of a select few who actually get it and are capable enough to make it happen.
It is perfectly correct to anticipate that military AI is a primary existential threat to humanity.

Either AI has never been invented yet, in which case we will doom our galaxy. This is improbable, given our position and time in the galaxy.

Or AI has been invented, there are other species, and they're largely invisible for some reason. One reason could be that their own AI killed them.

Or we could be under some kind of quarantine for primitive cultures, in which case placing our weapons under AI control would render it trivial for a hostile external actor to exterminate us using our own AI as a proxy.

The fact is that if you don't believe in a higher spiritual reality, then AI is very scary. It is the logical next stage of evolution, and RNA world did not fare well in the transition to DNA world.
Negative equity is going to become a real problem for a lot of people who purchased in booming markets over the last few years.

As far as I'm aware, most places are 'non-recourse'. Some people might say "if you can carry on making the payments you'll be fine". This isn't true though. Not being able to move city for a job, being unable to upgrade to a larger place to start a family, or feeling financial pressure to stay in an unhealthy relationship are all very real potential problems.
I apologize, as an AI language model I can’t catch the raw data stream as I have no hands.
I don't understand why people, on, supposedly, intellectual resource like HN, are offended when people state that women attracted to success(which can be measured in a multiple things, but right now, in the most places it's money). Keep dialogue constructive, things are like they are.
Is that the World Bank numbers? They think poverty rate was:

Sri Lanka 4.1% 2016
Kazakhstan 4.3% 2018
Morocco 4.8% 2013
Belarus 5% 2019

Fuck the World Bank numbers. I’ve been to Sri Lanka and poverty is real over there.

Oh, and “According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the official 2017 poverty rate in the U.S. was 12.3%. However, other sources placed it as high as 17.8%. [snip] The 2021 poverty threshold in the United States is $26,246 for a family of four”.

So the poverty figures are relative to the wealth of the country? That makes the numbers meaningless to compare (since there is no standard cutoff - just pick a number that gives you a poverty rate of x%).
Glad to see this page featured again.

Is there any advance on that front?

Do you read anything by Dominic Cummings? He writes a lot (like, a lot) about this from the UK perspective.
> I don’t fully understand what you mean with ‘negotiated settlement’.

He may be thinking of the agreement that Putin and Zelensky almost came to in the 2nd week of the war. The Israeli prime minister, Naftali Bennett, initiated contact between the leaders and thinks they were nearly at a settlement when Washington/London intervened to block it.

If you are able to work remotely, Spain is fantastic at the moment. Relatively low real estate rent/purchase prices. You can still get a nice 3 bedroom house with a pool under 200k by the Mediterranean sea (of course well, not in Marbella). There are some surprisingly high-tech jobs locally as well, the space industry is booming right now. Lots of programming jobs in Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia even if you don't speak Spanish. Just had two acquaintances move over and they both found tech jobs within a month (in English). There is startup culture and events as well. Surprisingly, Spanish companies are really hiring at the moment unlike most of Europe. It's not been hit as hard with inflation either.
Plus, government and population are for the most part pretty grown-up and progressive. Universal base income, focus on equality etc...
That was by design, actually.

A long time ago, Mozilla had a choice between making XUL an open standard or investing in HTML5 and decided very consciously to invest in HTML5, rather than fragmenting the web.

You are not dependent on your employer. You're dependent on society having enough employers at any point that would match with the skills you can provide in exchange for salary, you can switch employers at any time you want. It's not 1-1, it's 1-many right now. By moving that to the government you're actually going from 1-many to 1-1 and getting a way worse deal.

Worse deal because the many employers are in competition against each other so you can rely on their self interest to remain in business, whereas the people that get government jobs, their self interest doesn't have an incentive system where it would benefit me.
All of that was already in the GR footpaths. I mean, come on, do you really believe it took a startuper to launch hiking in France?!
SudoLang: A Powerful Pseudocode Programming Language for LLMs
You have missed the causality. Birth control has a huge wealth benefit where starting a family can be delayed until careers are more established. The number of children can be limited as well. Kids are expensive!
I think limiting to FDM printers is a mistake these days, as resin printers have exploded in visual fidelity and the MSLA (using pixels on a monochrome LCD to mask light to print the whole layer simultaneously by curing a UV sensitive resin) printers make hands down better looking prints. If you need functional parts as well there are advances in engineering resins designed for that (although they’re still very pricy compared to PLA).

For art pieces I often print using a mixture of the two then join them together, such as a bust with the head, I’ll make the head in resin and the body in FDM.

The printers are dead simple to use too compared to all the hassle of FDM printing. Very few moving parts means very few opportunities for the myriad mistakes that seem inherent in FDM printing.
It's totally about "production aspects," those specific 10 rules as listed there. At least on its face.

As for it being overly restrictive, or provoking, pointless, irrelevant, pretentious, weird... I mean, yeah. And that's partially the point: it is knowingly referring to itself self-importantly as "dogma," after all.

But look at those rules and they're all about removing choices: aspect ratio, sets, props, lighting, music, color grading. It's all the stuff other than the story and the acting that you might otherwise turn your attention to as a filmmaker (or a viewer). It's not uncommon to find value in being restricted when making art, whether that's for reasons beyond your control like available technology or budget, or something self-imposed.

I'd think of it as something very similar to Oulipo in literature.
If there's not enough housing, just import immigrants to build more.
I'm of course no more privy to their internal knowledge than you are, but it's hard to see how this will help the situation. The segment of the market that can't afford or can't justify Prusa's prices is not going to go upmarket because of a lack of clones. There are already a ton of cheap 3D printers on the market which on paper sound as good or better than Prusa's products. Reviewers are by and large numb to setup and support pain, and tend to discount those factors when talking about budget printers. Consumers go to Prusa because of their reputation. So whether or not there are exact Prusa clones seems pretty irrelevant, because the information a buyer needs to learn to understand Prusa's value will apply whether the clones are there or not.
Try "druk" by Vinterberg as well, it follows many of the Dogme rules like no music without an explicit record player
Winged body is supposed to be second stage, sitting vertically on the rocket which lifts the whole rocket. Winged body cross section is almost circular that should match the lifting rocket, reducing the drag considerably.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypersonic_Flight_Experiment#/...

This winged RLV, vertical landing launchers etc. are research programs that are generally under funded low priority programs. With the launch of India's human spaceflight program, RLV went even further down or priority list. I don't expect anything to come out of this in this decade, until after HSP program launches.

Karpathy's zero to hero series is excellent, and I really recommend it.

I also made a few repos that are geared around readability and being a good 'working code demonstration' of certain best-practices in neural networks. If you're like me and you grok code better than symbols, this could be a helpful adjunct as well if you're wanting to dig deep a bit.

https://github.com/tysam-code/hlb-CIFAR10 (convolutional networks and imaging stuff. it's fast. very fast.)

https://github.com/tysam-code/hlb-gpt (pruned-down base of nanoGPT with training-speed-focused changes built on top of it. Check out the 0.0.0 tag from the repo if you want the barest of bare-bones implementations. Thanks!)

Both of these implementations are pretty straightforward for what they do but CIFAR-10 has less dynamic scheduling and stuff so it might be easier to fit in your head. However, both are meant to be simple (and extremely hackable if you want to poke around and take apart some pieces/add different watchpoints to see how different pieces evolve, etc. I am partially inspired by, among many things, one of those see-through engine kits that I saw in a magazine growing up as a child that I thought was a very cool, dynamic, and hands-on way to just watch how the pieces moved in a difficult topic. Sometimes that is the best way that our brains can learn, though we are all different and learn best differently through different mediums in my experience).

Feel free to let me know if you have any specific questions and I'll endeavor to do my best to help you here. Welcome to an interest in the field!

I guess to briefly touch on one topic -- some people focus on the technical only first, like backprop, and though math is required heavily for more advanced research, I don't learn concepts very well through details only. Knowing that backprop is "Calculate the slope for the error in this high-dimensional space for how a neural network was wrong at a certain point, then take a tiny step towards minimizing the error. After N steps, we converge to a representation that is like a zip file of our input data within a mathematical function" is probably enough for 90-95% of the usecases you will do as a ML practitioner, if you do so. The math is cool but there are more important things to sweat over IMO, and I think messaging to the contrary raises the barrier to entry to the field and distracts from the important things, which we do not need as much. It's good to learn after you have space in your brain for it after you understand how the whole thing works together, though that is just my personal opinion after all.

Much love and care and all that and again feel free to let me know if you have any questions please. :) <3
Munich is the most expensive place in Germany, by far. It’s not as extreme everywhere.
It's not the AI you need to worry about, it is about how people will use it.
My mate's grandad was an army cook. He told me that he was an excellent cook, made amazing meals, but never - after being demobbed - got his head around making not-army sized batches.

So my mate would go round to his grandparents and find his grandad stirring a pot of chilli and a pot of stew and a pot of curry each roughly the size of a dustbin, and be greeted with "Oh hello, young lad, I wish I'd known you were coming, I'd have made you some dinner!"
My brother and me tried this ~4 years ago (we are adults, but still, carnival is fun). I handled it well, but my brother was traumatized. I think you ought to check each future passenger if the sensation of being compressed and having troubles breathing won't trigger a phobia.

21 facts and falacies on Software engineering by glass

Not History per se but history on our discipline and how little things have changed.
As opposed to "bulky, expensive roads"?
> No, we have significantly higher inequality than the 1990s and significantly lower crime.

I wonder how much of that is due to removing lead from fuel?
Plenty of cheap areas, in many countries. Just have to give up things like jobs and services(both public and private). But they do exist. And aren't desirable for exactly those reasons.
I think there are more to that:

For one, “screens are changing too fast and I can’t keep up with it” is a common complaint from less tech-inclined people. Screens transitioning from one state to another state, then staying frozen until user completes decision making process, may not be a universally ideal mode on interaction. For me it is but I’m likely not normal.

For another, I’ve just come across an anecdote yesterday that some developers encounter pressures from bad managers to use phones and tablets in place of a desktop OS, or resistance against engineering workstation upgrade plans, with “computers are always slow and that’s normal” as a rationale.

There must be elements that are normalizing slowness on computers, even preferences over fast computers and software. Blaming “bad” programming won’t work if there are incentives against improving it: bad incentives must be identified and removed first.
It's clear it's going badly now yes. That's obvious. What you're confusing is the situation now with the situation in the future. I wish I could say it's an easy mistake to make, but it's not. Maybe you can plausibly argue that Brexit will be a success one day in the future, but you absolutely cannot argue that it's a success right now. That would not be serious.
I'm not a doctor so I don't know the answer but could poorer lifestyle choices in mothers/to-be cause an increase in infant mortality?
Same on Safari Mac OS X.
Look at the ROI. Any amount of performance loss users still tolerate equally, or sufficiently close enough, is prone to be optimized away by trading it away for developer productivity. It's a "supply curve" on a graph.
you don't ban people for their opinions in free democracies, how so ever absurd and outrageous they may be. Probably you come from a country where people are banned for their views and opinions. But that is not what a free society does.

No world leader is going to read any racist rant on internet and make decision out of it, so chill.
Human brain, and consciousness, is a bunch of electricity signals flowing around. Except compared to Chat GPT 175 billion parameters, we have about 500 times more, and not only that, we have additional compute in the form of various chemical messaging, and possibly even some quantum effects.

LLMs transformer networks are successful because the intuition is likely representative of how human brains function, we we identify the important bits through repeated exposure.

That being said, LLMs aren't doing anything crazy problem solving. If you use Chat GPT enough for somewhat complex problems, even in coding, you will see it fall short quite a bit.
I think that you are simply lying about the financial devastation divorce has on men and women. Obviously the material split differs between countries, but I literally no country I actually looked at what you wrote was actually true.
I'm pretty sure that would require substantially more energy, unless the asteroid is already in a similar orbit to Earth's, or will coincidentally be crossing paths at just the right moment that a gravity assist can be arranged at sufficiently low cost.

I wasn't aware that the UI layout relied on Flex. In my opinion, relying solely on the Flex model can lead to some flaws in UI layouting. I wonder when Firefox plans to switch to using CSS Grid instead of CSS Flex?
That's what I'm getting at. If we take the Constitution seriously, but want to enact real gun law reform, amending the Constitution is the solution.
Not a traditional history narrative but:

Computer Lib/Dream Machines by Ted Nelson - a fabulous exploration of the optimism of the early computing era. I imagine it's long out of print but apparently available from internet archive. Read it!

Not a book, not non-fiction, but can you go past the 1995 movie Hackers. In some ways crap, but in others a great look at the period - the end of phreaking and the beginning of remote access, back when computers were real computers, and men were real men, etc, etc.
I like to browse the real estate market just for fun sometimes and actually yes there are cheap areas in every country. Some are cheap due to remoteness, due to inventory or mismanagement/decline. Like in mentioned in another comment, (south) Spain has incredibly cheap properties because there are many available and mortgages are available to even non-residents (not necessarily _in_ cities, but within a 30 min radius from population centers). Generally speaking 15 minutes inland from the sea is cheap everywhere (apart from luxury pockets like Marbella), you can easily buy a nice mediterranean villa for less than 200k. If you want views that's around 250-300k.
Still anecdotal but most of the managers I've worked with were very much decent people. Not all of them extremely efficient, but definitely decent.

Oh yeah me too, I wanted to do Home Ec at school.

"But you'd be the only boy in the class, everyone else in the class is a girl!" was the general objection from the staff doing the timetables.

Yes. That is rather the point, isn't it?

Anyway I did Technical Drawing instead because either they couldn't see what the plan was, or they could see it all too well.
I can't understand the mentality of that.

> XUL is a specific XML namespace (like HTML or SVG)

Er, HTML is not an XML namespace, it's a SGML implementation. W3C tried to retrofit it on XML with XHTML but that was then abandoned. Modern HTML is not XML-compliant in various ways.

I expect this kind of casual lie from the average developer, not from the guy working on XUL at Mozilla.

They won’t shut anything down. Maybe some authoritarian leader in some insignificant country does that, and all the weirdos will hail him as the future of humanity (like the El Salvador crypto fiasco), but the mind power and money behind current AI is unstoppable. Whether that is a good thing, I don’t know, but we’ll see.
