I agree with it fully, it’s only based on the assumption that all decisions a person makes are made for a reason. Which is almost certainly true. If you say that somebody’s decision making doesn’t make sense, the only actual explanations for that are either that you don’t understand their rationale, or that you’re making a value judgement that their rationale is bad. Neither of those things involve a lack of making sense. The claim “this doesn’t make sense…” is always associated with an implicit “…to me”.

The same thing applies to anything that emerges from a system of multiple people making multiple decisions, or from any observation about nature. The only thing that changes is the complexity of what you’re trying to understand.
I hope they are. I also hope their next generation will have more PIOs and ideally a bit more instructions.
Locality is just how the embeddings are created, and at that only one way. “Ball” will also be closer to “round” and “net” will be closer to “string”. So this is the creation process, but you end up with something that sure does look a lot like meaning. You can do math with these vectors, like addition. king - man + woman = queen is the classic Word2Vec example.

Based on you calling that phrase earlier “word salad”, I think you’re just not that familiar with word embeddings. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_embedding
He -has- done some positive things towards the Everglades (signed an EO that puts another 3.5 billion towards restoration and water management there), but I do tend to think his track record is ultimately kind of limited just from the fact he denies climate change as being 'woke' (and sought to expand fossil fuel use and curb/ignore renewable use).

It also happens to align with Republican Florida voters; the Everglades hasn't been politicized in the way climate change has.
I was/am like this too. I’d say one of the most fun/challenging things to do was to take something broken and try to repair it. Requires you to understand how to disassemble carefully, understand how it works, understand what is going wrong, and then either replacing or coming up with a better solution, and finally reassembly. And of course if it doesn’t work then, try again—just like debugging. Taught me basically how to be a programmer because coding is exactly the same thing. Get an unknown code base, trace through, find and isolate the problem, then try to fix.
What's the point? What one person needs at one point in their life is very unlikely to be what another person needs - it might appear banal or unintelligible to another.
> How can we create what we can't define?

We do it well enough with other things. ("I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description ["hard-core pornography"], and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it" -- Justice Potter Stewart)

> Yet, AGI is nowhere near.

I don't think we have a reliable way of measuring how far away AGI is.

> It's no smarter than my word processor.

Really? What word processor do you use?

> there's no defining theory that will get us to AGI.We don't know how to get there.

I'd argue we also didn't know how to get here. But we did.

> The real danger is[...]

There is plenty of room for more than one danger to be real.
I think generally it wasn't the 'Green Party' but rather the wider environmental movement that then had a wide influence on the left in particular. The right meanwhile generally is just happy with fossil fuels and does whatever is cheaper.

That was always the problem with nuclear, it didn't have a political ally.

In one of the few cases where it did have political allies, it was in France when the realized how much control over oil is in the middle east. So French elites turned on fossil and invested in nuclear. And within 20 years they solved the problem. Its pretty instructive.
I really think that after the first two/three years there should be a system converting PhD students to an official researcher title, which is what they essentially are. Credit hours for thesis research, most of which is publishable and usually for some grant, is just BS, and even worse it helps justify the fact that one must work 20 hours per week while spending extra unpaid time for fulfilling the thesis research credit.
Those are great! I think I should read them once a week.
But this magical rule does exist, it is a human construct called 'making sense' :)
When I buy a beer from the store that is a "safe" regulated supply of a substance purchased by a government regulated supplier that will ultimately cause liver damage and cancer.

An un-safe supply of alcohol would be the sort of stuff that was common during prohibition, the sort of home brewed moonshine that poisoned people and made them blind.

We already do harm reduction and safe supply of many drugs in our society because we recognize the alternatives of adhoc illegal supply is dramatically worse.

Using opioids like heroin (boy if one could even get heroin at this point) is obviously not "safe."

These sort of concerns around safety are at this point however irrelevant because the reality is that people are chemically addicted to these harmful substances and the issue is how to best get them un-addicted or manage that addiction.

Anyone attempting to get off a chemical drug addiction can be absolutely be expected to relapse at some point (many points most likely!) along the journey to ultimately kicking the addiction for good.

The point of harm reduction is so that when someone relapses they do not die from street drugs that are so incredibly toxic there is no known safe dose and that they have yet another opportunity to try to wean themselves off their harmful addiction.

The context of this discussion around street drugs is about the unregulated street drugs that are so cut with various unknown chemicals that it is impossible to have a dose that yields any sort of expected results. This is what is resulting in an incredible spike in overdose deaths.
Welll.... the RP2040 is a dollar and can be overclocked to 300MHz (peripheral clocks get a little weird around that point, but they can be clocked down).
Well maybe no one will believe me but I'm a nerd and hacker (we are on hacker news) and I guessed it. I love guessing stuff like that. If you check my account, I'm named ftxbro because my first comment ever was to guess the meaning of a number related to ftx https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34473811

If you are so impressed by number guessing you can look at that one and be impressed if you think I am right about it too! Almost no one looked at that comment I think, because I posted it after the thread had scrolled off the front page. When I put that guess, I was so worried that it was such a smart number guess that people would accuse me of being some kind of ftx insider, so I tried to put a disclaimer at the top of that comment with my guess lol.
You're not factoring in the DDoS protection, that's why the answer you got is so clear. It _may_ still be value negative, but it probably depends on the tradeoffs one cares about.
Yeah I never understood the whole leetcode between positions, even lateral moves that you choose for culture or personal interest reason required another leetcode. I swear it was just there as a dis-incentive to keep people from moving.

v0.9 might have changed a thing or two, but my prior experiences:

- irritating camera controls, difficult to account for unit scales outside of unity/unreal expectations (good luck painting something measured in HU), overall anaemic 3d viewport

- file loads block the whole app so have fun importing 8192x8192 textures

- good luck getting the results you want out of half the tools

- layer system is truly baffling

- overall doesn't feel like an alpha but a pre-alpha. or a hackathon proof-of-concept.

- charging for the binaries isn't charging for a piece of software worth $19; it's charging to not be forced to install visual studio on your windows machine. if you are on nixos, a ready-made nix expression [1] exists to let you take it out for a spin

- armorpaint being as miserable as it was let me to discover layer painter for blender [2] which is an infinitely superior experience and you can patch things into the shader workflows you've already accounted for in blender

As a temporary citizen of Florida, the politics down here are pretty atavistic: I'm pretty sure half the people in office occupy half their time with graft, and that's the standard.

But

The state really does seem to take the environment and (ironically) climate change more seriously than other places. At least in the impact sense (yet still 75% natural gas electrical generation, because deregulation).

I guess getting hit by hurricanes and storm surges regularly focuses the mind?

Plus Florida is essentially is a few bits of dry land in a bog (the highest point in the state is 100 meters above sea level), so state management is water and wetlands management.
Assuming this is Australia, it's pretty wild as someone from the US that your movie/game rating system is legally enforced! Here, ratings are advisories for parents, which seems more appropriate. Also, pro-Nazi comments are worse than pixelated Doom gore, surely!
A dozen of them? Are you sure they aren't gas chromatographers?

I worked in a well funded private lab and we didn't have "a dozen" of them.
Nothing wrong with them, but that is too many pixels for my purpose. PalmOS 5.2 needs a minimum of 64KB of storage RAM, 128K of dynamic RAM, 32K for the kernel, AND a framebuffer to run, and RP2040 has too little RAM to handle a 320x480 display.
The thing is openai doesn’t have to, they can build in reasonable warnings and tell folks how it sucks. Google can’t integrate ai with its products and be like ok guys this is kinda useful but also it lies, is a bigot, and is just wrong. Google stuff, because of the audience, had to be a lot better.

Openai gets to have a new audience that doesn’t come with expectations and can set them as whatever they want.

I suspect that you don't need that with aqueous electrolysis. I think the advantage is the electrolytic cells are cheap.

Problem with solar is intermittent power means intermittent use of capital equipment. How much an issue that is depends on the ratios of electricity cost, capital cost and depreciation.

Not for "indirect monetary compensation" is vague, and worth looking at closely. Say you run curious-os.blog and take patreon or some other monetary payment, and you write a post based on your experience running this OS. Are the lawyers going to come after you?
That’s not how it works in many corporations especially when you are dealing with sensitive data. You have to go through some kind of approval process.
Are you french? I'm asking because if so you might remember the "techno" class in middle school.

Those classes introduced 3d modeling for me ( in the 90s, on paper, without computer )

That was not a important class, but you were left knowing how to draw and read a 3d shape in several 2d views
Most of the money in Florida is concentrated in the lower half of the state, deeper in the peninsula where it's more vulnerable to climate change. Also, just because these turnarounds happen in states doesn't mean that state governments are primarily responsible. Florida doesn't have the resources available to do this on their own.
It would be interesting to hear grandparent’s perspective. We learn from the experience of others. Otherwise, schools, best practices, or forums like HN would be completely useless.
Was surprised how stable that setup was. Looks like a lot of fun.

Unrelated to the main content, the AI TTS somehow bothered me (I believe the voice is premade/Josh from Eleven Labs). It's not super jarring but still noticable. In a way it's too consistent.

Didn't ruin it but given a choice I'd rather just listen to the creator narrate and convey their excitement for instance about that workshop.

Even 150k in SF doesn't get you as far as you would think. That person is probably living pretty close to paycheck-to-paycheck.

Granted, the average FAANG salary is higher than that, but still I think the general public seems to think FAANG workers are richer than they actually are.

Most FAANG workers are solidly comfortable. But not independently wealthy.

I don't believe that provides the performance improvements we desire.

The main reason prepared statements improves throughout is that it caches query plans.

As I understand it, binary_parameters does not do that. Each query is parsed and evaluated individually (perhaps equivalent to unnamed prepared statements) and so nothing is saved when you execute the same query again.

No, they most certainly didn't refuse to engage. Exactly to opposite.

Also, if you watch the video the entire thing was staged - the students shut up on command - to get that lady dean up on stage where she could present her prepared speech about how valorous it was for her and them to shut him up. Pure hypocrisy.
Ideology is not just about empirical facts, it's about moral ends as well. Why would those of left-wing academics be more "accurate" than those of anyone else? In fact, academics (like all other groups) should be expected to have unique class interests, that conflict with the interests of other groups in society.
That rubbery thing is just an example of a ball. The meaning of words is pretty abstract and mostly communicated by using other words.
The Language Wars Are Over: ChatGPT Won Languages Don't Matter Anymore
It takes 12-24 years if its a lazy one off with little political support.

We also shouldn't measure time for a single plant, but for many.

Fact is, France built like 50 in 20 years. And if you look at the UAE, its much more instructive. A country with no experience.

Handed out a bid in 2009, first plant active 2020 and then plants going online 2021, 2022, 2023. And if you just keep going like that eventually you can finish 2 or more per year. France was finishing like 5-6 plants a year.

If you look at Germany in 2000 for example. Had they done what France did in the 70/80s, Germany would have carbon free right now and they would have spent far less money then the 'Green Revolution' that they are engaged with now (and all the massive cost they will be paying the next 20 years). If you just do the math, based even on the prices that South Korea charged ULA, nuclear would be a no brain. And nobody can tell me Germany wouldn't have the engineering skill to do this.

You can test this hypothesis by questioning GPT-4 until you hit a detail that it doesn't know. It will say something like "Without more context or a clearer reference to this detail in my training data, I can't provide a definitive answer.". Then you ask it to speculate about what the answer might be.

I suppose "going nuts" in this context is me letting you know that your desire to prevent use of your old commits under your old license is not legally possible, Not sure why you feel the need to turn a bunch of info I gave you into fuel for a flamewar.

I haven't considered and won't ever consider using your software, it's completely out of my wheelhouse (as you sort of tried to use as an insult?) I just commented to try and help you understand the license situation.

Good luck with your company.
Nice clean 'simple' landing page with an intuitive geometric introduction to the foundation of linear algebra and higher order transformations.

>The manner in which you communicate that opinion can be restricted;

This is a direct contradiction of "unconditional free speech". Once you allow the manner of speech to be restricted, free speech is no longer unconditional. You just want to believe in "unconditional free speech" because freedom is great and being pro-freedom makes us all feel warm and fuzzy inside. That ideal can't stand up to the complexities of the real world when the rights of multiple people come into direct conflict with each other. There need to be restrictions in both the manner and the content. The only content restriction you listed was defamation, but I have a feeling you would be against at least some of the following: fraud, perjury, false advertising, copyright infringement, threats, incitement to violence, coercion, blackmail, revenge porn, child porn, and the list goes on and on. Suddenly there are a lot of conditions on that "unconditional" and it becomes less clear why some further restriction such as outlawing hate speech would be a monumental infringement on freedom of speech.
I interpreted the statement differently than you did. I translate “world makes sense” to mean that people act in accordance with their motivations. If people are acting in a way that seems irrational to you or at odds with their stated motivations, likely you have misjudged their motivations or they are concealing their true motivations.
Try applying to claude. I received invite to both within a few days of showing interest. I think they are adding anyone who shows interest now.
A FIRE pioneer who retired with $3M at 34 says he must return to work
They are actually quite cheap. I did some basic calculations on what it would have cost Germany if they in 2000 had started a the 'Gründewende' with nuclear. And it would have been massively cheaper then what they have been doing.

Modern CANDU reactors can be really great. There is some new Thorium/Uranium based fuel that will revolutionize CANDU operations. One of the biggest issues with CANDU is that it high labor cost to change the fuel bundles. Some new fuels will allow the reduction of those operations by like 4x, saving on labor cost.
Incorrect; it was released under the MIT licence with the rest of the code, since it is "associated documentation" as it was published alongside the code on the bitcoin.org website upon first release.

Further, Satoshi explicitly reassigned copyright over the entirety of Bitcoin essentially to posterity by rewriting the licensing. That, similarly, includes the bitcoin whitepaper.

I don't think the poster was suggesting porting Starcraft to a touchscreen. It's a design challenge to figure out what changes need to be made to accommodate the genre for touchscreens. It's not obvious because people haven't put in the work yet.

It was a also a design challenge to make the genre work in the first place for mouse and keyboard.

Then you knowingly left out the most important part of the whole program. Portugal doesn't let people remain addicted, the way all the progressive programs are doing like in SF, Portland, etc. Simply legalizing drugs is evil, it's benefiting the drug dealers and so-called harm-reduction advocates that benefit financially from letting addicts continue to live in slavery. We need forced rehabilitation as part of the equation, otherwise it doesn't work at all. I don't believe addicts should be criminalized, but locking them up in jail is the second best solution, to what we have right now, which is the worst of any scenario. It's a complete failure and downright evil what is going on right now in SF.
Hey Lee, Travis here.

One piece of meta feedback for Vercel reading through all this is that whenever you have multiple ways of accomplishing something (like setting headers in vercel.json vs in the handlers themselves), it's bound to cause confusion.

> In an email exchange with an NPR reporter on Wednesday, Musk appeared to be unaware of how much NPR receives in federal support. After being told support amounts to only 1% of the organization’s annual budget, the billionaire wrote: “Well, then we should fix it,” in an email to the reporter.

Of course he could've easily found this information for himself with a quick Google search, but then the decision to label NPR as "state media" was never about the facts and always about needling people he doesn't like.

You mean he plays bass and develops software? Is there anything rock stars can't do? Thanks, I was kidding. But it is interesting that he became a developer.
Solving this puzzle is an excellent example of what Ilya Sutskever said recently in the Lunar Society Podcast ..... "It seems predicting the next token well means that you understand the underlying reality that led to the creation of that token"

It is the phase shift increases at this meta associative layer (which nobody seems to have seen coming from LLMs or so soon) that are responsible such feats of apparent comprehension of the question even when the answer provided at the end is wrong. The question now is if bigger training sets et al will lead to more reliable answers. TBD.
> but you end up with something that sure does look a lot like meaning

I suggest you read some Quine and Kripke; the argument that word embeddings encode meaning (particularly via locality) is an incredibly philosophically-naive position. People have been debating what language is for a very long time.
