I'm getting older and one of the things I started to notice is that men are just there, doing things that are generally... straightforward. I mean I guess posting on hacker news is probably pretty strange to a lot of people - so ignore that.

Anyway, women however, I feel like they build these neurotic behaviors - like learned things that just stick with them forever. Like ouch, the pan was hot, don't do that again, but for EVERYTHING. So by the time they are old, just nothing they do makes any sense, to anyone, even other women.
> In other words, the old model is training data to the new model. Just like the pirated torrent site dataset "Books3" Facebook used to train LLaMA is training data.

This is a logical conclusion. But if it actually holds, that's for the courts to decide
You don't understand why a country wouldn't want to go a hundred billion euros in debt maintaining derelict nuclear plants and being wholly dependent on a hostile foreign power for fuel?

Or you don't understand why people wouldn't want to be left holding the cleanup bill after the company running a power station or mine or mill declared bankruptcy before finishing decomissioning?

Or you don't understand why people wouldn't support ecocide, corruption and worker exploitation in Niger or Uzbekistan to line the pockets of a uranium mining oligopoly?
I looked at it but I don't see the features I'm talking about. I can configure pod myself, so I don't understand why would I need this operator.
In jets, the compressor is usually powered by a turbine, but there's no turbine here at all. Most of the thrust is coming from the electrically powered compressor. Would've been interesting if he had been able to measure how much additional power the flaming gas added.
It’s interesting you say this because many cultures through history have considered that writing things down, especially laws would lead to confusion, misunderstands and social dysfunction.

I’m not trying to argue they are / were right, but it’s starting to make me wonder.
I'd blame smartphones.
As with all advice, context matters. It is good to know the rules, the best practices, the proven strategies. But it is also good to understand the context of those strategies to understand when the context has changed.

SQL is clearly the right way to store large quantities of data (some would say the only way.) Until some folk realised their context was different, and NoSql was born.

Strategy is hard because it plays out in the long term. Two roads diverge in a wood,and you have to pick one. But the consequences if that decision may be felt 20 years later, or next week, or never.

Advice from those who went before is valuable. But care must be taken to understand the context of that advice.
Neat idea. Would it be useful to let folks analyze a repository without signing up? I'm thinking a user may want to scan a large repository and get a report (top X sponsor-enabled dependencies). This might be useful data to present during funding discussions.
Reporting fraudulent reviews to the FTC, rather than to Amazon, would be an excellent step towards seeing that happen.
The key is to abandon social media and shame those who keep using it.

Age doesn't determine the design or it's safety. Soviet early designs had massive flaws, bugs and cost cutting measures to enable the fast deployment needed to keep up with Soviet energy demand growth, at significant risk.
Hydro is apparently dangerous due to the Banqiao disaster, however at it "took place during the Chinese Cultural Revolution when most people were busy with the "revolution" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1975_Banqiao_Dam_failure

The "Cultural Revolution" began in 1966.

In such a context an otherwise avoidable catastrophe may happen.

This Revolution followed the "Great Leap Forward" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Leap_Forward ), with famines. "In the subsequent famines of the early 1960s popularly attributed to the Great Leap Forward, Henan was one of the hardest hit and millions of lives were lost." Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henan#Modern_Era .

Moreover all this came after a civil war and a violent Japanese invasion, during which dams were bombed, causing "massive flooding in Henan" (same source).

Then a typhoon hit and many dams collapsed ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1975_Banqiao_Dam_failure#The_c... )

During decades predicting and adverting this catastrophe was possible, even when it unfolded people had days to react... but given such a context nobody was able to do so. One may wonder what an active nuclear reactor will become in such a context.

Estimations of nuclear power disasters are highly disputed, and some claims are very high ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl:_Consequences_of_the... )

Also: you compare nuclear to fossil fuels, neglecting renewables.
The article notes that Sun Tzu's celebrated victory over the Chu was very short-lived, since the Chu remnants promptly allied with the Qin and the Yue to roll them back within two years, and his Wu clan was entirely exterminated within three decades.

Honestly, I'm not anti-AI development at all but this is where my ethics alarm starts to go off a bit.

If the aim is to build human-like AIs capable of remembering their little digital lives and interacting with the other agents around them, it's probably worth avoiding anything that could cause unnecessary suffering, like rape and stab wounds and being cooked alive by a dragon.
It doesn't have a general theory of the whole page because it's not meant to take over the whole page and turn it into an app. That's what SPA frameworks are for. Htmx is for sprinkling interactions on top of existing server-rendered pages and it works really well for that.
Thought about this in a conceptual way some years ago [1] and the best option seems to be to let the developers decide how they want to be paid, i.e. have a `thanks.dev` file in the tree of the package with JSON-like data, e.g.

"payment": "iban", "data": "IBANCODE"` or
"payment": "link", "data": "https://..." or
"payment": "cryptoCoin", "data": "0xb3..." and so forth.

Of course, the problem is there are many different ways of giving thanks, so a protocol is required, that's the hard part actually in this space, standardization.

> I doubt the programs themselves are worse for critical thinking (good luck controlling for confounds), but it's not obvious they're better, either.

A lot of engineers I’ve encountered who have little social science or humanities experience seem to not be well equipped to critically evaluate works in those disciplines when they do encounter them. Which makes them vulnerable to crackpot ideology, or just latching onto the first thing they encounter that makes sense to them.

It works both ways though. Many a non-technical CEO has been talked into buying some worthless overpriced piece of enterprise software over the objections of their IT department.
So you'd need 6 of those highways converging on the middle of a city to compare to Tokyo's single train station. To make it really fun to solve, no rational city would allow that disastrous use of above-ground land, the parking for another 2m cars would be an engineering feat of note and you're dragging millions of tons of steel around for no reason. We haven't begun on emissions or need for fuel stops for those 2m cars.

Oh, and that's not the entirety of the Tokyo metro population, which is ~37m. The entire of Texas is ~29m-ish and that's spread out so far and wide they can afford to fuck around with 14 lane highways. The scale and solution are incomparable.
Lawrence Krauss did not deliver what was written as the title of that book, but calling him a hack is not nice.
Nice idea. Like a personalized vanguard index for open source donations.

If this takes off people will be inventivized to make lots of small dependencies that are likely to be needed in tier 1 (or tier 2).

The trick will be to find a bug in a first dep of webpack for example, fork it and fix some bugs there then convince webpack to switch to you.

Algorithmic decisions can be gamed.

I suggest instead the app lists the deps, and you choose how much to give each one.
It feels like so many convos, especially here on HN, start from the false equivalence that homeless == mentally ill. It’s an issue sure, but not even a primary cause.

Well, they’re also incredibly noisy and unreliable. I’d be willing to bet most of the ecu code is simply Bayesian filters to deal with terrible sensor data. Cars are hard environments to get the kind of high fidelity readings you really need for the nitpicky engines they have now.
Didn’t the KMT intentionally blow one of their own dams in Henan to hinder the Japanese but kill a bunch of their own citizens at one point in the war? Ya, that is hard core.
If the content is indistinguishable from human-generated, perhaps the problem is bad content, and not the source, human or not.

What do you mean by content by the way? Blog articles? Or bits and bytes in general? The right set of bits can change the world.
God how cool would it be if that were a federal law - if public right to access literature were a right?
You really should have one anyway. Good for emergency shutoff.
Most of them were not hydro-electric dams, which are statistically more recent and in practice way more effectively monitored (people are permanently occupying most of the not-tiny-ones).
So, multiple component libraries can be used inside one framework like Next.js?

This is a great idea! Now I can finally pick a contribution level and have it automatically donate to my favorite projects.

Thanks for building this!
I'm using it for a personal project and for a couple of different company-internal projects at work. My personal project is making more complex use of it, with different (server-rendered) components. Like with anything else, you need to keep a handle on complexity with many different components rendering different parts of the page. On the whole though it works really well. The internal apps at work are benefitting from it because I get exactly the interactions I need (confirmation of some action, async requests submission and page update) with extremely minimal footprint, just a small snippet of custom JS and CSS.
Do you have a specific example(s) of nonsense being presented in the video?
Yeah, I had an old car where the useless tape deck developed a short (I think) that would drain the battery after about a day. I didn't know it was the stereo until I played around with removing fuses one by one though.
Heritability is the ratio of genetically-produced variation to total variation in some population. Overwhelmingly people who wear lipstick have a clear genetic difference from those who don't (XX vs. XY). It's a degenerate example meant to illustrate the point: heritability doesn't answer the question of genetic influence, but rather reframes it.

As someone who has studied in the analytic tradition, I think it's wildly uncharitable to consider Continental philosophy a disease. A lot of it is very poorly written, but extremely illuminating. Good thinking is humble and prudent, the way many people who think within a scientific materialist or Anglo-American philosophical tradition dismiss enormous bodies of work that has a very different framework is lamentable, and something I regret doing as a naive undergrad who only wanted ordinary English, "rigorous", or "mathematical" philosophy.

Why don't we like the alleged 'relativism' of Continental philosophy? That tells us something about the culture we live in, and is worth thinking about it. Ironically, it's the concepts in Continental philosophy that allows us to talk about it the best, even if by doing so we end up disagreeing with its most notorious thinkers. Just my two cents.
The authors of the study were clear to call out there are quite a few downsides to mass adoption of Generative Agents... the pollution and misinformation angle certainly being top of mind. I'm inclined to agree.
There are several good ideas in distributed databases that are effectively not deployable in cloud environments because the requisite hardware features don’t exist. Since cloud deployability is a pervasive prerequisite for commercial viability, database designs tend to overfit for the limitations of cloud environments even though we know how to do much better.

Basically, we are stuck in a local minima of making databases work well in cloud environments that are not designed to enable efficient distributed databases. It is wasteful and also provides an arbitrage opportunity for cloud companies.
Computers can perform prime factorisation of incredibly large numbers - I’m not aware of any human that can do that. Does that make my point clearer?
737 max can do 4000+ miles in on paper. That puts all of Mexico, most of Central America, and a good chunk of the Caribbean in range I believe.
What the researchers bolted on is an architecture that enables the storage and recall of memories, as well as self-reflection and more. They call out early the paper that even standard ChatGPT is not quite capable of this. ChatGPT here is used to provide the natural language abilities.
Reminds me of the stereotype that women will tell you something that happened in the most expansive way possible with all this context that doesn't really matter while guys will just tell you what happened.

The training on GPT was done on Common Crawl, Reddit, books, and Wikipedia.

For Common Crawl, the documentation says blocking it on robots.txt should work, as for Wikipedia, Reddit, and books, there's no option than to not participate AFAIK.

OpenWebText2 has no mention of robots.txt, so good luck with that.
No car I'm aware of requires this. If the ignition is off and the doors are all closed, the car is, for all intents and purposes, asleep. If anything, doors unlocked may be lower power... as that would disable (or, rather, not enable) alarm functionality.
Time synchronization over a network with unknown latency characteristics is fundamentally impossible.
That would depend on how memory and experience are represented. If they are just ledgers that the AI refers to, they most certainly are not suffering. Now if they have some kind of pain or pleasure function and their world is simulated and they have agency to seek or avoid things, then yeah, ethics should be involved. Or if we just don't understand how they work at all.
I love how OP made the mistake and then everyone repeated it! I wonder if that indicates something.
I second that. I remember finding a manual for programming BASIC in the library once. Overjoyed I was. Then, I spent an entire afternoon trying to type BASIC commands... into the MS-DOS prompt.

If only someone could have told me to go find QBASIC.EXE first, haha
I guess I'm with the LLM on this one, since I can't follow your example. Did the sign flip over while it was falling? Did the sign fall towards or away from the glass door that I am on the other side of? Where are the doorhandles?

Can you write this example in a way that's more comprehensible to humans, and then we can ask GPT-4 about it?
unfortunately, we can barely get some groups of humans to treat other humans with dignity, no less our genetically near-by mammalian friends. i don't hold my breath something completely alien, however sub or super intelligent, will be treated with utter ignorance and disrespect.

Curious -- where do you think the article oversells the research paper? In reading through the full study a few times, what stood out to me was the impression these Generative Agents left on the authors -- despite having mostly mundane interactions (which real humans do too), it was the emergent behaviors, totally unplanned, that seemed to delight the researchers.
France does not further reduces its emissions related to electricity production since 2002, when its newest nuclear reactor, Civaux-2, started.

Germany nowadays reduces its emissions faster than France, while losing its industry at a way slower pace.

I suspect the natural consequence is that human culture will begin to churn more quickly, to distinguish itself from the LLMs.

Same as how the past two decades, online culture has pivoted from static text to videos and interactive text (Reddit/Discord), as static text has become a SEO cesspool. Interactive text is succumbing now, and video content will soon also.

Culture always grows shibboleths to suss out the narcs.
The main point of that quote is that a battle is a negative-sum game. Reaching the same ultimate outcome without a battle is better than fighting for it, because both sides will suffer losses in the battle.

Trying to achieve a lasting peace through a decisive victory rarely works, because people don't work like that. In a more likely outcome, you are simultaneously not aggressive enough to prevent future conflicts and too aggressive, creating enemies motivated by revenge. Revenge is a dangerous motive, because it can turn battles into positive-sum games. Any enemy losses – both combatant and civilian – become victories, while your losses only matter by reducing your ability to kill more enemies.
The paper explains that they used a panel of evaluators to judge the "humanness" of the interactions : )
Tesla is the reason that EVs are even going anywhere. The amount of foot dragging by car companies was frustrating to watch for years on end.
But they insist on put your NS on cloudflare as well and afair not accepting domains greater than 2nd level.

Coming back to the load - simple 3vCPU Linux based VPS on Hetzner could handle 4Gbit of traffic serving. Offloading your server fleet probably the last reason here. Geo presence - agree here.

I also have a parasitic draw on my NC Miata, and ALSO use a battery tender every time I park it! If you find out the issue, let me know, would be interesting to see if it’s the same!
Skill and dedication indeed. The cost of being able to determine the root cause of the car problem probably costs more than the car itself. By a factor of ten.
Careful with this tax advice, it doesn’t work if you are salaried (at least not at the moment).
I feel that western nations imposing any kind of restriction or rules around AI development will only lead to the west being severely outclassed very rapidly by their adversaries.
One outcome of this study was that a panel of evaluators judged the bot interactions to be more "human" than when humans impersonated these characters. So you have a point.
I read that story in politico, first I had heard of this. Russia has been really effective at pushing their puppets or foolish people as leaders, even into the US. It's a miracle that Ukraine has withstood them, so far at least.
A huge improvement would have the mobile web site act less hostile. It pushes the app on first arrival; at the bottom there is an "this page looks better in the app" a fat finger width from the next button; comments are un-scrollable randomly; etc. To be honest, it does curb my access of the site so perhaps the status quo benefits my time.

My own personal introduction to philosophy came from Edwards and Pap's now rather dated 1965 textbook A Modern Introduction to Philosophy–my father did an introduction to philosophy course at university in the late 1960s, and that was the main textbook they used, and teenage me was rather excited to discover it on his bookshelf. I myself did 1st year philosophy at university in 2000, but only one unit (logic) actually had a textbook, the others I did (epistemology, philosophy of mind, metaphysics, political philosophy) just used photocopied books of readings (I remember we had readings from Plato, Aristotle, Aquinas, Descartes, Locke, Hobbes, Hume, Berkeley, Kant–and some more recent authors whose names escape me now). I found a site with a whole set of free university-level philosophy textbooks – https://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/subjects/philosophy – although I can't vouch for them since I haven't read any of them myself

Some philosophers whose works I've read and enjoyed: Robert Nozick's Anarchy, State and Utopia; Derek Parfit's Reasons and Persons; Peter Singer's Practical Ethics; Graham Priest's In Contradiction; Graham Oppy's Arguing about Gods; Edward Feser's Five Proofs of the Existence of God – that's a rather eclectic and idiosyncratic list, including books by authors which radically disagree with each other (e.g. Feser's book tries to prove God exists, Oppy's book argues all known proofs of God's existence fail) - but you definitely won't find any of that "critical theory" cant in any of them
How is nolibc better than musl or a static executable?
Because arresting drug dealers is not actually a thing that means that retail will have more customers in downtown SF. There's a legitimate discussion about having downtown areas be economically viable and pretending that if we "just" arrested all the criminals or whatever then things would get fixed is very dismissive of real, actual things that could be improved.

You need customers for retail to exist. People working for SF-based companies don't want to go to the office (you might make an argument it's for crime reasons, but it feels obvious the overriding reason is just wanting to work from home). So retail is suffering. Notice how crime plays at best a second order effect there. Yet every story on HN about this topic is filled with people saying it's crime.

Not true, space might just repeat in all directions - a finite volume but with no boundaries. Maybe if you go far enough you always end up back where you came from.
If a job makes the "numbers" (by that I assume you mean revenue or profit) go up, then by definition, it's not a bullshit job, it's a productivity enhancer.
You should read all of Ned Block's piece. It's very good.

He is not just dismissing your view as "extreme geneticism". He literally explains how fallacious it is to conflate heritability with genetic determination. Using that to make judgments about genetic determination of IQ is therefore methodologically flawed and the only intellectual honest course of action is to dismiss these types of judgments outright.
