It may be that there are only so many basic stories. It makes sense that very old books would contain them. All the archetypal story types can be found in Greek literature.

I suppose it isn’t a limit of creativity that stops us creating utterly new stories, as much as that there aren’t really any completely new ones to be told.
PG-Schema: Schemas for Property Graphs
Wait, I want to understand. So CoRover started training a BharatGPT from scratch and announced they were going to do it, and then mayank25 and his friends swooped in and registered the trademark first and released one first by finetuning OpenAI GPT instead of training from scratch? Is this right?
Not just that, but lots of airspace and emergency airports opened when the USSR fell, making twin engine flights between the USA and Asia much more feasible.
ChatGPT has nothing to do with it. You can have code that is both easier to read and higher performance, it's just than nobody has made it a goal in life to show the rest of us how to do it. If I ever get fed up with writing code for a living I might sit down and figure out how to communicate it. There's dribs and drabs in my comment history, usually under topics of performance.

The problem is that they've chosen a micro benchmark for this argument. The toy-est of toy problems. Yes, you have to make tradeoffs in these cases, but toy problems aren't really a good communication medium. If you want to process a thousand records of data in a decent amount of time, there are lots of strategies that move you toward achieving both.
I don't think that that explanation makes sense, or actually rebuts the point. If the true odds ratio of the effect being studied is 1.8, I don't know why Brown expects that a study of a 1.8 would ever produce an odds ratio of 3. That would mean the study was terrible - it got the answer badly wrong!

Even with this explanation, Brown is effectively saying that any effect with an odds ratio of less than 3 cannot be studied. I don't think that position makes any sense.

And also, an odds ratio of 1.4 means social media makes it 40% more likely one will be depressed. That is a massive effect. I don't understand why people are saying these effects are small.

I enjoy the website design - it's nice to see people keeping the Web 1.0 feeling alive, focusing on creativity, unafraid to use cool animations, etc.

I'm not sure I fully get the point of this entry though. It sounds like the author is becoming overly self critical and reflective. Just make what you want, share it, and have fun. That's what I've finally gotten around to doing on my personal websites (in my bio).

And what's supposed to be the point of the racial comments? They're not productive, only inflammatory. They make me feel unwelcome on the website for being a "pale male" as the author puts it; maybe that's the point. It's disheartening because a beauty of the web, as eloquently put in the Hacker's Manifesto, is that "We exist without skin color, without nationality, without religious bias" on here. Yes, you have "as much right to speak on the topic as this fellow", as we all do. Let's try to all be in this together to make a better world instead of dividing ourselves.
Imgur Terms of Service Update [April 19, 2023]
Setting the M series aside, the AMD 7000 laptops already have reasonably fast memory. Faster than some old GPUs.

And that trend is accelerating. The latest rumor is that Intel is bringing back the eDRAM cache next (which means it was in planning long before the generative ai craze), and more stacked/on package memory is just around the corner.
I feel you, there's a certain feeling of ephemeralness if you step back and think about it that way. Put another way, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away".

The thing that changed this for me is, no joke, having kids. This brought me away from the feeling that life is fleeting with little point to the minuscule things I may accomplish and showed me a grander scale. As an engineer, I'll never be a Maxwell, Shannon, etc., but I can raise the generation to come in a way that - though I may never know it - could have an incredible influence on the world.
Fun. Right-mouse on Mac is nearly impossible, though.

yah but I think the lungs would connect more with the terminology of inhalation than intranasal. I think the language ties to different body parts, distinctions like show up in this random title I grabbed

> Comparison of traditional intranasal and aerosol inhalation inoculation of mice with influenza A viruses

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5725743/

I suppose an intranasal agent could accidentally get inhaled, but I think it's not meant to, it would probably elicit a choking reaction and not make it very deep into the lungs. Inhaled stuff is like smoke and nebulizer things.

In my opinion, there are a couple of solid takeaways from this description of Musk’s view on society, AI, etc.

1. Progressive used to mean something different than it does now. Progressives (Teddy Roosevelt) used to believe in the power of economic progress as a benefit to society. If business got in the way, then the government needed to step in. Now progressivism is about advancing specific social agendas, and pushing for government social interventions. Musk is a progressive in the former sense.

2. Twitter is perhaps on the way out, but Musk’s view on maximizing free speech is relevant and consistent with his version of progressivism. He explains that the more people can speak their minds, the more likely it is that the best ideas will emerge. He also suggests that it is also likely that this human interaction will be to the benefit of the AI corpus.

I’m not a Musk fan, but I find it difficult to disagree with these points.
What has happened to Elon? He's gone from free speech absolutist to shadow banning, suspending accounts, and banning other free speech absolutists like Taibbi!

Something has gone terribly wrong. Has Elon fallen under the influence of a censorious Dorseyite remnant?

I like the sporadically sprinkled "konk" synth bass notes on raised scale-degree 6. That, and the sparsely-spaced synth chords that aren't hard-sync'd to the straight-ahead dance beat. (As a friend of mine would put it, you successfully avoided relegating those chords to "barline jail" :)

And the "shields down" sound effect is cute!
RocksDB is an amazing piece of engineering that deserve to be more known.

It is battle tested. It does one job and does it well.

I have used it in the past as a middleware database taking an average of 2-3k req/sec with over 400 GB of data stored. It works like a charm.

If I had a single reproach to do to it, it would be around the instrumentation. It is not that straightforward to get proper metrics and reporting of the internals.
Agreed. This is the best explanation of Log-Structured Merge Trees I've seen. I finally feel confident that I understand the concept.
Many years ago, you could use MS Word to highlight orthographical and gramar errors. It was not perfect but I did catch most of the obvious error.

Since a few years, Chrome (and Firefox?) has a quite good checker. I think it does not fix gramar.

Gmail has a very good orthographical and gramar checker. It even autocorrect some words and make suggestions for other. (Even in cases where a word is correctly written, but it makes no sense, and the actual word is a typo away.) It's too good that it's a little scary.
There were also optional safety systems that lower cost carriers in the undeveloped/developing world didn’t buy, which would have prevented most of the incidents.
Only one pair of distinct positive integers satisfy the equation m^n = n^m
For today’s interesting problem, we are looking to find all positive integer pairs n and m which satisfy the equation above, when n and m are distinct. If we play around with small n and m we can quickly see that 2⁴ = 16 = 4² , so the pair 2 and 4 are certainly one solution. Actually, it is the only solution.

I've noticed that 'water' is often discovered in places where people want to spend money to scrutinize/get to. (For a variety of reasons.)

E.g. sometimes vast internal 'oceans' are somehow implied by water vapor escaping from the surface of a moon. For the sake of visiting astronauts, I hope some of this 'water' turns out to be real.

(Wherever the water in the Earth's oceans really came from is at least, finally, being questioned.)

I tried this

Prompt: Using literary references. State a quote that mentions the current time 9:54pm.

Answer: One literary reference that mentions the current time of 9:54 pm is from the novel "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald. In Chapter 3, Nick Carraway, the narrator, says, "I looked at my watch and it was four o'clock. Gatsby's house was still empty when I left - the grass on his lawn had grown as long as mine own and the air was thick with the sounds of the summer. By 9:54 pm, when the guests began to arrive, the air was alive with chatter and laughter, and the lights from Gatsby's mansion spilled out onto the lawn, illuminating the darkness with a warm glow."

That quote doesn't exist in this version https://www.planetebook.com/free-ebooks/the-great-gatsby.pdf or this https://www.wsfcs.k12.nc.us/cms/lib/NC01001395/Centricity/Do... (I just googled great gatsby pdfs).

Am I missing it? Or is the quote made up?
This isn't something I look for in code reviews because it's just not something I've ever see be the source of a bug. There are a million bugs that I've eventually tracked down to some subtle C++ thing, but I've never had one come down to a type which appears to conform to one of the standard library's concepts but actually doesn't.
Is this something that people, in your experience, do?
No you don't need the extra dimensions and OpenAI is generally the worst at everything except being the first to market.

Also, ditto your comments on vector database shilling. Vector Databases are just like any other database in that I'll host them myself. I don't need a dedicated VC backed company for a database.

Seems unlikely given it's one of our own satellites, a "civilian" satellite, and doesn't demonstrate (I don't think?) any capabilities against satellite stealth techniques?

'Hostile' foreign governments, even the really incompetent ones, know lots of information our own government won't tell us. A lot of 'classified' stuff is more about hiding the budget from public oversight than actual "keep the other guys guessing."

I'm sure most of the other nations who want to play games with what their satellites look like / can do, are already fairly aware of the US government's capabilities in that regards. Certainly some of our terrestrial capabilities after a certain someone advertised them to the world a few years ago...

I think Rocksdb would be a good choice, you really can't beat a LSM design for write-heavy workload. Depending on how the mem-table is implemented, they can write at practically RAM-speed. And although you might think that you don't need range scans now, it's a very useful for any kind of time series data.

I disagree. The fact that Linux powers Android, or that BSD powers MacOS (not really*), or that Playstations run on FreeBSD are meaningless, because all of those are closed platforms. When people want "the year of Linux on the desktop" they aren't thinking about "A locked-down experience where you have to root your device to get a terminal prompt". So why should that count for anything on mobile or on game consoles?

* - MacOS does not have a "BSD heart" in it nor is XNU based on BSD (other than they might have evolved it out of a BSD codebase they had lying around, gutted 99% of it and wrote in a rewrite of OSF Mach).
The technology isn't close to doing anything like this yet.

TBH that is a use case where shooting off to another API (like whatever WolframAlpha runs on top of Mathematica) is better than trying to do everythring in a model.
One thing I love about LangChain (and LlamaIndex) is that rather than having to find the latest relevant arxiv papers, and then try to understand them by reading 20-30 pages, I can just monitor these libraries' blogs and release changes to discover the latest relevant papers, then read their implementation code.

I'm not sure exactly what you're saying here, but I don't think explaining human consciousness is a prerequisite to making an AI that goes beyond the cognitive level of humans.

More like "and no one does, we've been searching, by the by if you have a theory drop us a line".

I honestly do not see where it says that. More like "We don't like it that you are dismissing our ideas and we want to argue that it costs little to act on our ideas and we don't like it that you are trying to hold us to such a high level of proof. It's like a criminal trial here, come on, that's not fair. We should be allowed to get policy passed impacting your children with less evidence than that, geez."

No, you shouldn't.

If you've got good theories maybe drop them a line?

That's a complete and total waste of my time for a long list of reasons, starting with I am a former homemaker and people are very comfortable being extremely dismissive of me no matter how much evidence I can point to, no matter how well I argue it, etc. and furthermore my experience has been that lots of people are happy to both blow me off and at the same time steal my ideas and take credit for them.

I will write up something on my low traffic, completely ignored, largely unmonetized blog Raising Future Adults, a phrase that began proliferating in articles and podcast titles and the like after I created the blog and hit the front page of Hacker News* with it and, yet, I still cannot get traction nor engagement etc. And he can then do what all the other jerks on planet Earth do and read it and pretend it was HIS idea and not mention he got it from me -- or, alternately, read it and marshal his arguments why he is still right and kooks like me are wrong and stupid.

Every impediment to getting a new product on the market means people live without that product. In the case of medical products, that can have real consequences.

Assuming you are not on the MIT campus, the odds of someone hacking your medical device is practically 0%.

I have heard that my wife's diabetic Freestyle Libre 2 Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) was not able to be used with my phone because of security concerns. That meant that this disabled woman could not use her phone to check her blood sugar with the new Libre 2. So she used the outdated Libre 14-day. (Yes, the 2 is newer than the 14-day.) That meant she did not get alerts when her blood sugar went too high or too low. That had real consequences for her. All because someone wanted the software to be 100% hack proof against unrealistic scenarios.

Why not use the laws on the books? Anyone who hacks a medical device needs to go to prison on felony charges.
