Apparently according to online sources, the latest OS supported on a 2010 iMac is macOS Mojave, and the latest security update for Mojave was released in 2021.
>> You cannot rearrange "spinning my tires" into "sweeping the ice" without having derived and translated the underlying meaning. There is nothing to connect the two sets of tokens except the metaphoric intent.

Here, you are again explaining what, but you are not explaining why. You are saying what you think, but I still don't know why you think that. Why is it that you >> cannot rearrange "spinning my tires" into "sweeping the ice" << etc? Why do you say this?

For example, I can see that both are verb phrases with a similar structure. Language models excel in reproducing structure and we know they can translate between structures, also, as they do when translating between languages. So why can't they do it in this case without "underlying meaning"?

>> Why do you think that LLMs shouldn't be capable of manipulating on the level of meanings and intents rather than just rearranging tokens?

I didn't say I think that. I asked you:

>> Why do you think LLM's can't "perform this kind of translation by merely comparing tokens statistically tending to be near one another".

And I still don't know why you say that. For example, what you say here doesn't help me understand:

>> I am suggesting that with sufficient training, layers and parameters, that the neural net must be forced into a configuration that allows it to perform this meaning/intent based processing as gradient descent pushes and pulls its the network along the twelve thousand or so dimensions GPT-3 uses.

That's a description of the what, not the how. But it's not a description of any "whats" we know anyone coded into a language model in the first place. It's a description of a mechanism that is claimed to have appeared spontaneously.

That is a very big claim and I don't see why I have to accept it just because someone said that's what's going on.

I want to know how things work. You're not explaining how things work. You're explaining how you think they might work. But I don't even know why you think they work that way.
If they're unproven, how do you know they work better than standard (=proven) care?
Show HN: Renovation Rocket: renovation management made simple
Hi HN,
I made this app to help me manage projects at home.

Let me know if you have any suggestions. I am planning to add new features over time.

Thank you!
Similar story: went from a series of bad cheap irons to a good cheap iron and it was like night and day.

I still struggle occasionally, but that's when connecting enameled copper to 1.27 mm crenellated edge connectors, and in my book that's a task where "struggling" isn't actually that bad.
For SF you could also claim that an external magnetic field has a subtle influence on stability and is sufficient to go from 40 day halflife to indefinite stability. This can also be used as an additional critical element.
Nobel Prize winners are not immune to crank thinking, usually outside of their area of speciality. There is Linus Pauling and vitamin C, and Penrose also writing about consciousness having quantum mechanisms.
Why have this level of disdain for the mental capabilities of a huge subset of the population? Why even say this out loud if you must think it?

99% of Apple's customers can certainly recognize "it's a fuckton faster than my previous laptop" when they see it. Apple Silicon is across the board perceivably faster than any previous Macs.
Most of the proprietary world, things like Mathematica and fast WiFi (they only support up through 802.11n, I believe), and the entirety of Steam. Things where for-profit companies make an effort to support Linux, but ignore smaller OS's. So it's a monastic experience compared to the modern Linux desktop.

(Monasteries are beautiful – still won't choose to live in one!)
Yeah, the news is pretty non-stop of new things opening up. Atlanta trying to become the new hollywood I think kickstarted all this at least in my head timeline but I'm sure some hardworking business owners and politicians really just focused on bringing in new work.

Interesting work. Thanks for open sourcing. It would be nice if the "run" script has a bit of documentation, and maybe an "examples" folder the the run script can work with. From what I can see it seems to search the parent directory? I would want for example `./run <dir_with_tests>` to run all tests my specified project repo.
I 100% agree, the iron linked in the article is actually OK, but overpriced for what it is. The problem is that if you take the advice as written and go to Home Depot, you will end up with a frustrating piece of garbage and give up the hobby before long.

But fortunately today there are great, cheap tools. The $35 pinecil and T12 clones (as little as $25 if you can wait on shipping) are as good as $150 units from 10 years ago. I have a Hakko 888 and I haven't used it in years because a pinecil in my desk drawer is so much more convenient. It has enough juice for almost anything you'd find linked on hackernews or hackaday, and when I want to use it I just move a usb-c charging cable from my laptop to it for a while.

The point is that the code is only checked for UB with the arguments it is given at compile time. There is no guarantee that it can't invoke UB with other arguments it might receive at runtime.

For example, here is a modification of the original program that does invoke UB, but compiles just fine:

Tried that. There's still a limit on top of that.
The first -- and only -- time I ever soldered was on a job interview! The company was making gastric pacemakers and wanted to see if I could do it. One of my favorite job interviews for some reason. I have a tough time with the "code in front of the interviewer"-style interviews but this was actually kind of fun.

That said, I don't feel like I've had the need to bust one out since then. I'm sure there are useful times for it, but for me, I typically replace the item or pay someone to fix it and move on with my day.
I think an addition to the liquidity point:

Once something becomes "common knowledge" in the stock market, it looses all predictive power. In this example, you could trade on the index inclusion because it observably happened, but market participants didn't respond.

Now, everyone expects the effect to happen, so it's just another thing 'baked in' to pricing.
> So values that are returned need not be primitive values like basic ints, floats, strings, etc? They can be complicated structure values also?

It depends on the language and the rules about what structures can hold.

For example, say your function doesn't return a value, but returns another function, and that function refers to variables in the first (this is called a "closure" or "lambda", the variable is "captured" or "closed over" by the returned function).

In some languages this is OK and normal to do, in others there's no guarantee that the original variable exists anymore and the behavior is "undefined", and in others it is forbidden.

The way that it is implemented also depends on the language.
I agree it's still a somewhat open question, but I think the data is that Massachusetts is probably on the side where it can make sense with the right equipment. Here's a real world analysis of a heat pump in Connecticut that averaged an full heating season COP of about 3.0: https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy13osti/56393.pdf

I disagree that he's unlikely to have chosen a bad installer. They seem to have installed a non-cold-climate heat pump in Massachusetts. If that's true, I think it's strong evidence that they were not competent and should not have been trusted. I guess one could argue that this was a low probability choice, but I think it's as likely there were simply no more competent installers available in his area.
> He was completely dismissive to the fact that religious people had perfectly predicted that in the absence of religion, people would have the same sort of fervour for superficially rationalistic, but otherwise deranged, views.

Jung and Nietzsche both had this idea ~100 years ago. When Nietzsche claimed God was dead, it was a lamentation, not an enthusiastic assertion, it was the modern world that had killed God. Jung claimed that people that left religions still tied their ideas to something, New Age Religions, Spiritualism, politics, something. In the French Revolution the Cult of Rationality set up by Robespierre had just as many trapping of religion and blood thirsty fanatics as any religion. The cultural revolution in China has many "atheists" gladly pointing people out for "heresy" to the "inquisition".

These is a lot of evidence that religion is not the only source of fanatics out there.
I highly recommend playing with his editor (https://floor796.com/editor/l0). It's very intuitive and I was able to make my own little animation quite fast, even though I had never used any animation tools before.

I have a 2019 Macbook Pro I almost upgraded a few months ago... and then decided not to and stick with my Windows desktop and my Macbook from work. There's no real need at this point, I'll just keep waiting until something drastic happens like my laptop dies because my kids spill their drink all over it.
Wow do you really think a mobile home is only slightly better than a tent or cardboard box?
Yes, it is a collaborative endeavor, and the whole could be seen as a man-machine superorganism, or, more profoundly our own sense of separateness is illusory as we and the entire universe are one.
I assumed it did because I would think Postgres caches the query plan by some statement hash not just by name.

Anyways, I'm probably wrong here but it looks like I'm about to figure this out now :D
Last-gen ultralight laptops are nearly as fast as new models–and much cheaper
Last year I upgraded to an M1 Pro; this year a coworker took that machine and I bumped up to an M2 Max. I can't really tell a difference.
I’d love to see an RTS that broke out of those constraints, mostly because I find the whole APM heavy approach to them kind of boring. It’s not strategy, it’s clicking fast, and while I recognise the skill involved it bears little relation to actual strategy.

My ideal RTS would support delegation of armies, and giving broad stroke orders (hold that area, attack this base, provide air cover), with either AI or human players picking up those responsibilities.
One way to read excessive snakiness and meanness is as insecurity in the validity of your ideas. I can definitely see someone having this reading of Dawkins and some of the other voices in "New Atheism".

One other problem I've seen with some of the most outspoken atheists is that they fundamentally seem to misunderstand the role that religion plays in many people's lives. Biblical literalists like Answers in Genesis are really a side show - they're easy to mock, but don't represent what religion is to most adherents. Most people don't look to religion for scientific answers but for community, a scaffolding to build their lives around, and for relief from existential dread. "New Atheism" often had no alternative answer to these functions.
In what ways was this person’s life changed by these ideas?
Hahaha you raise a good point. I'm thinking in the perspective of 90s view on stay-home parents shrinking where as since 2000's that trend has changed:

https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2014/04/08/7-key-findi...

Nearly 50% of households in the 70s had a stay-at-home parent.
So a larger number of parents today grew up with working parents than 5 decades ago.
It's things like this that make me love the internet. Bravo!
You’re not entitled to be sheltered from inflation, especially not for just passively investing income.
Per Brookings, it costs $310k to raise 1 kid 0-18. That doesn’t include college, daycare, and opportunity costs.

If you want to FIRE, don’t have kids. I have kids, they’re expensive.

Upstate NY has hydro because it was developed to power the aluminum smelters that no longer exist after having shut down (thanks China!) and left multiple superfund sites.

In this specific case, the power can't just easily be routed somewhere else because all the lines were routed directly to the plants. You can literally look on Google Maps and see the lines.

Building new lines could be done but it is super expensive to do that. Up until the bitcoin miners came in and took over the plant, the power was just going unused.

Way off as in the claim that "edge compute is way more expensive" is only true if you only consider Vercel / AWS Lambda as the universe of edge compute.

If you consider Cloudflare Workers pricing, it becomes a lot more competitive. No egress + much lower per request fees + you can choose between per wallclock ms billing and per request billing (different slopes + intersection points).

I'm not claiming we're a good fit for every use-case out there. My root point though was about SSR and I think a platform like Cloudflare Workers is perfect for making SSR extremely simple.

Please! :) The Castro regime made the decision to seize any land from anyone with 50 acres or more. What sort of outcome did Fidel, Che, and Cienfuegos expect? Well, they expected to build thriving trade economy with the Soviets... whoops!

My point is Marxism/Socialism trades one form of oppression for another. Marxism fails to identify poor leadership as oppressive. Socialist systems are run by error prone leaders that crave power and fortune... They are the same people that run corporations under a different flag. Che was killed trying to overthrow another nation to put in Cuban friendly socialist leadership... How is that different from your banana example?

At least in capitalism we can vote with our dollars. We can spend our money on things we believe in. Not with socialism. Good luck finding choice or innovation that the state doesn't support. It literally crushes innovation.

Besides these arguments, what great things came from Marxism that we enjoy today?

So far their hasn't been much desire to FORCE these addicts into treatment (your last caveat).Portland is a disaster. They had 238 OD deaths in 2019. They're already up to 400 in 2023 and had 742 in 2022...When the bodies pile up it strains the local health system and creates backlogs with the coroner's office. I had a family member that lost their child to undiagnosed low-blood-sugar (MCAD) and I missed the funeral because the state had to hold onto the body for longer than anticipated because of these opioid deaths (I couldn't change my flight plans). They either have to force these people into treatment centers (European model) or they need to be thrown into jail. If that's not possible than dispense with the pleasantries and throw them into mass graves.
Don't worry, I'm sure someone will come along and suggest we build $150,000 tiny houses, or shipping container houses. Mobile homes are just not cool enough for the bro who wants to save the homeless.
Also true, but I don't think we need to enforce that kind of standard for personal hobby projects. You're not under any obligation to convince people that your project is worth being interested in, unless you specifically want other people to start using it.
If I remember correctly, most natural gas is used in combined cycle turbines. Kind of like hooking up a turbine from an aircraft directly to a generator. Then the excess heat from that turbine is used to generate steam for another turbine.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

You seem upset that "reuse" is a different word than "recycle".
In my opinion it's classic Dunning-Kruger effect. For some reason the people in question took some Econ 101 or read some thing somewhere, and are extremely confident in their extremely limited economics knowledge, being completely ignorant of how complex it actually is in the real world.

As an aside, if there's one thing strategy games (and in particular Paradox' Grand Strategy games and Democracy) have taught me that might actually be real world applicable, is that nothing is simple or easy, and anyone (especially politicians) that they have one easy solution that will fix all problems is either ignorant or a charlatan.
I believe he was always aware of this, but thought it was different this time because of wide access to information and technology, etc. Reading that, it does sound like a sort of religious belief, but that's how he (Dawkins) had posed it in the past since the 90s or so when questioned about it.
I am not a physicist, so I am hoping someone with more understanding can explain this to me. Why do we say that we "discovered" a new uranium isotope that scientists effectively created in a lab under very specific, man-made conditions? How come we don't say that we "manufactured" this new isotope? For all intents and purposes, this kind of atomic configuration would not exist except for man's specific efforts.
Ok. Lets take maternal mortality rate. Yes there are a non-healthcare related risks to child births, e.g. your ambulance can be in a car accident, or there can be a mass shooting in your hospital, but these should be pretty rare, compared to other risks.

USA has 21 deaths per 100 000 live births. Canada has 11. Cuba has 39. Latvia has 18 (highest in continental Europe), EU as a whole is around 6. Among all of these USA is the only one that is on the rise (even Cuba is down from 46 in the year 2000, when USA had 12).

You’re not wrong. But if you look at the data, there are some strong indicators that the lack of public health care is a major contributor to the lower life expectancy in the USA.

If you've never driven one, automatic cars feel super dangerous as you can accelerate indefinitely even when unconscious, and even in a normal situation your left foot clutch muscle memory will make you push the brake (to the floor) without meaning to as well.

He's also personally magnetic, wise and loving in a way that few are? If you want a political slant on it - he represents a certain anti-consumerism, generalized love for humanity, and a throwback to a less capitalist era which appeal to the Left. While also being "exotic" in a way which is more palatable to Left than Right.
340c would be a pretty high setting for most casual use... Good chance you'll ruin a board like that. Modern solder is pretty easy to work with around 250c and the risk of overheating the board is a lot lower. Unless you're soldering giant connectors there's no reason to tell a beginner to crank it over 300c.

I use it and it's quite effective. I just paste text I want to summarise and just ask (GPT-4) to "Create Anki cards for these paragraphs. Keep the answers brief". It does quite a good job in distilling the knowledge.

And for cards creation in general, the ever-green "20 rules of formulating knowledge in learning" is always a good guide.

This is an insultingly poor opinion to hold of your peers.
To me, it certainly seems to suggest an environmental cause (or at least significant contributor). Certainly doesn't seem evolutionarily adaptive for such a large proportion of the population to live with profound mental and physical fatigue.

Obesity is an obvious confounder, but these seemingly frequent front-page HN sleep apnea posts usually abound with anecdotes of normal / thin individuals with significant issues.
This is actually a pretty accurate though exaggerated version of what happens in my mind.

The blind man variation is a lot "harder" in that I can feel my mind reaching for scrap paper and intermediate steps.

The first one is simple enough that I can start an "improv" and start speaking without fully parsing and initiating a world state.

I think the GPT models all do something similar. Without prompts to get it to think step by step it just wings it like a public speaker under pressure.
