"Although it sounds painful, you feel no pain." This is one of the more bizarre sleep-related disorders i've heard of. My kid (6 yrs old) has been having night terrors and what sleep experts call "confusional arousals" for about a year now, off and on, and i'm both frightened and fascinated by them. Apparently they're common in children and run in the family — my wife had them when she was a kid too. Anyway, not quite as startling as Exploding Head Syndrome but curious nonetheless.

If your aim is to develop an SAT solver, it is recommended to write it in Prolog.
For more general problem-solving, consider writing an SMT solver or another specialized solver (such as ILP) in Prolog, as it will likely be the most efficient choice.

In the case of creating type-safe software, writing the interpreter in Prolog is a good idea, as it allows for code verification during runtime.

Lastly, if you wish to integrate code and database functionality, it is advisable to use Prolog to develop an enhanced Datalog system, which will offer a more powerful and flexible solution.

>> If you approach software design the way experts in commercial and military cockpit human factors approach their craft, you will end up with designs that are fast, familiar, and forgiving. Such designs would be a refreshing change in the ghastly world of PC software. They'd be a refreshing change in the world of general aviation, too.

> This completely ignores hundreds or even thousands of required flight hours. If I required my users to train for hundreds of hours before using my software by themselves, I would make all sorts of different UI design choices. In fact, a command line or text UI interface might actually be the most productive. However, that is not the case.

Not necessarily. Your objection seems to be relevant to the "fast" part, but there's a lot of software that (for instance) just ignores familiar established patterns because the designer wanted to be different. It almost all cases, it would be a great improvement if they just stopped doing that.
I mean 800B tokens on a 3B model and 7B model is still way beyond the Chinchilla scale.
This link [1] says the median US train is 5,400 feet, and this link [2] quotes an intermodal railcar for 53-foot containers at 67 feet, 9 inches; although 40 foot containers are the most common size; let's use 60 feet as a round number car length; that would put the median train at 90 cars; the 90%ile train is 9,800 feet or 163 cars by my length estimate, and 99%ile was 14,000 feet or 233 cars.

Probably depends on the specific route, but 200 cars doesn't seem unrealistic.

Oh wow, i love this. I worked at an org that allowed you to dynamically change log levels at the project & class level. It was an absolute game changer.

Log levels are great but it always feels like you're working with too little or way too much information. So dialing up the level of information for a subset of your code base is great as it lets you limit the amount of unnecessary information that ends up in your logs.
Agreed - people have wanted this feature on npm for a very long time. But code signing has it's limits, as the post mentions. Still, it's a valuable tool and there's no reason not to do it.

My reply is just as informative and insightful as your original comment, in fact the entire purpose of that metaphor was to respond with the exact same precision and using the exact same structure as you did and the fact that you find it to be irrelevant is exactly the point.

Now look in the mirror and instead of denigrating my post, reflect on your own comment and hopefully you'll see it is equally irrelevant.

The burden is on you to communicate any information you think is relevant to fully appreciate or understand your circumstance. The burden is on you to indicate what prompts you provided, in what aspects did ChatGPT fail as well as the approach you took using it, that could open up an interesting discussion where you, me, and others can learn something new.

The fact that you failed to do so and instead made a mostly irrelevant comment whose pointless nature is something you only recognize after seeing it reflected in my post is something you need to correct, not me.

if d4 and e4 are conflicting edits, then how do you resolve them?

say (a1 b2 c3) is "abc" -- (a1 b2 c3 d4 d5) is "abxx" and (a1 b2 c3 e4) is "aby"

what is (a1 b2 c3 d4 e4)? it isn't "abxxy" or "abxy" or "abxxy" or anything else, because d4 and e4 are concurrent/conflicting updates, which have no single well-defined resolution (without additional information)

meaning, this is a conflict

if you just say that this resolves to (a1 b2 c3 e4) then this is LWW but you've lost the information in d4 and d5, so whoever was agent d has written information that was good for a little while, but then ultimately lost after merge, right? so this isn't consistent in any useful way?

I don't know most of these languages, but I'm not so sure about some of your English examples. I don't think "accountability", "bullying", and "harassment" are that untranslatable.

Whether a word is untranslatable very much depends on the language you're translating to. "Schadenfreude" translates quite directly to "leedvermaak" in Dutch, even though English has no word for it (therefore adopting it as a loan word).

Personally, I've never really found a word in another language that encompasses the same meaning and connotation as "gezellig", though there are close contenders (like "hygge" in Danish). There are also words I know of in other languages that are in the same category, describing a feeling or perception that's impossible to explain (and may be shaped by culture as much as language).

There are definitely English words that have the same problem, but they're still quite rare.
Equally funny to me, The French add an 'e' to Putin when referring to him, probably because Putain sounds like Putin, which is basically the french F-word, especially in its ability to be swapped out for effect like the F-word.

This is another rarely mentioned problem with CLIs; computers get bigger, software gets more complex, people want it to do more, and that means any command needs more context disambiguation and more typing to narrow down the more degrees of freedom. GUIs and TUIs can bring up related things to try and help you out.

Not OP, but I'm going to guess confusion between "intake" and the hole in the valve cover where oil goes. I say this because I imagine the result of pouring it into the intake is a non-starting car, not a fire. Cars don't run on 10W-40.

No we don't know how they represent that knowledge. But performing experiments to probe how similar they are is a lot easier than knowing all that.

They're called black boxes because we can't explain what the weights are learning during training, what the different weights do or are responsible for to shift or produce the output it does.

It's like, biologists know how neurons communicate signals with each other. But is that knowledge enough to explain human behavior ? Not even close.

Imagine if one were building a one-off vehicle and it had a critical control placed in an ergonomic spot with flammable fluid or maybe hot or high pressure lines routed through the cabin to necessarily reach it. What would the response be if they posted it to HN, Reddit, Youtube?

They would get harassed endlessly about how dangerous that it. You should "never" run fuel through the cabin. You should "never" run high pressure hydraulics near an occupant, etc. All sorts of low effort comments would be made to score cheap virtue points dunking on the builder. It would be one giant safety circle jerk complete with clipboards and safety vests.

And that kind of "I know the best practices but I don't deeply understand the requirements of this specific implementation" kills people, like apparently John Denver. This really should be sobering to many here. You could have been that builder. But what will we take away from it? Not the hard uncomfortable lesson to keep your mouth shut and don't touch anything in the name of "best practices" until you truly know the ins and outs of the application. Heavens no. We'll just make out our UIs suck a little less and call it good. That's much easier.
Show HN: Enlinko – link two words using related words based on word2vec
Hello,

This game uses idea of semantic similarity (called relatedness in my game), like in Semantle and Contexto.

But i had different idea for gameplay - instead of guessing secret word, i wanted to make a game where goal is to link two unrelated words. It can be done by placing related words between starting and ending words.

In my game there are endless ways to solve same puzzle. There's plenty of room for experiments.

I've used semantic vectors from this model:

Both :) It is somewhat funny but might actually work. Plants are great at absorbing CO2, but that is very transient in the nature. One certainly could burry whole logs underground and perhaps it is possible to prevent decay from releasing the captured carbon again as CO2. Charcoal is pure carbon and less likely to decay and much easier to store. And we have the production facilities for that.

One would of course have to compare the several competing mechanisms which actually works best.

> And then car manufacturers decide to make turning Air Condition on and off into a experience as much distracting as using a smartphones, so they can save a couple hundred dollars in a 30.000 dollars vehicle.

Do they really save "a couple of hundred dollars" by replacing physical controls with touchscreens? I would guess they'd save less than a hundred per car.

Making serious user compromises to save a few pennies is totally something companies do, but I think they touchscreen fad is a bit more complicated than that. I think there's also an aesthetic factor, where they're chasing a "minimalist" and "high tech" look--which in recent years has meant flat surfaces and screens.

IMHO, it would help a lot of buttons and knobs start to be seen as a kind of desirable luxury feature instead of "old fashioned."
> And remember, you got time to build up momentum, a ion drive accelerating in a spiral with swingbys, with one final push, can get you pretty high on the C if you dont want it right now.

No. You're not even getting close to your ion drives exhaust velocity, which is <100km/s.

So you are not accelerating ANY kind of asteroid for more than ~10km/s, because the closer you want to get to your exhaust velocity, the harder your scheme gets slapped down by the rocket equation-- "unlimited energy over time" does not even enter the equation.

So what you are left with is the option of finding an asteroid that you can get into a collision orbit with earth as cheaply as possible.

Even to just break even with the weakest nuclear weapons, you need at least 500 metric tons at 20km/s. You'll probably need something around 300m/s of delta-v (that would be a mars/earth transfer).

And this needs to happen quickly, because there is no stealth in space and everything you do can be observed and reverted (leaving aside the fact that any weapon system with a deployment delay measured in years is absurdly impractical).

> Trying to get some non-trivial code out of GPT that isn't a mindless boilerplate

For some of us, the boilerplate code generated by ChatGPT is incredibly valuable. I have been utilizing it to create snippets of code for languages that I am not familiar with in terms of syntax. I understand that I may be criticized for this, however, I am not an expert in all of the languages I am required to support. Thus, I often find myself struggling with the syntax while understanding the overall concept I am attempting to accomplish.

Example prompt: "Write me a proof of concept in language X that serializes JSON then POSTS to a HTTP API endpoint."

China definitely "leaks" a lot of talent to American companies - most AI papers that I've seen from respected Western universities include at least one Chinese name.

One challenge for China has been the university enrollment rate. While in Western countries half of each cohort has been going to university for decades, China is not there yet. In 2019, just 17% of Chinese adults have degrees compared to 44% in the US.

So the large Chinese population is offset by its relative lack of access to education, while the US can draw from its own highly educated population in addition to attracting the best and the brightest from the rest of the world, including China.
That’s what the person was getting at. Does it matter if it can be cross-compiled elsewhere?
