Ya but smaller UAVs aren't operating in the same energy environment. They are small enough that them randomly dropping on people's houses doesn't matter much. Aerospace is about things large/fast/high enough that all failures put lives at risk.
You could easily see for yourself by visiting the link in the previous comment.

For what it's worth. Four out of the first five videos I saw on Douyin were sexualised in some way, the first was of a train driver. I scrolled through 20 or 30 of the videos on TikTok's website and didn't find anything close.
That short interview with Cal Breed was the absolute best 60 seconds of video I have seen in quite a while. The raw footage should be re-edited into a longer video.

The key thing you need is that for n >= 3 the sequence of (n^1/n) is decreasing. You can get that pretty easily without logs.

Look at two consecutive terms: n^(1/n) and (n+1)^[1/(n+1)]. The ratio of the first to the second -- we want to prove that this is >1 -- is n^(1/n) / (n+1)^[1/(n+1)]. This is bigger than 1 iff its n(n+1)th power is; that is, iff n^(n+1) / (n+1)^n > 1. We can write this as n (n/(n+1))^n; so what we need is that (n/(n+1))^n > 1/n.

(Handwavily: we know that the LHS is about 1/e, so for n>=3 this should be good. But we want a proof and we're trying to do it without nontrivial analytic machinery.)

Actually, I prefer to write this as ((n+1)/n)^n < n, or (1+1/n)^n < n. Expand this with the binomial theorem: we get sum {0<=k<=n} of (n choose k) n^-k. And we have (n choose k) = n(n-1)...(n-k+1) / k! < n^k/k! so this is strictly less than sum {0<=k<=n} of 1/k!. And for k>0 we easily have k! >= 2^(k-1) so this sum is no bigger than 1 + 1 + 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + etc. = 3.

So, the function on integers n -> n^1/n is decreasing for n >= 3. Now the proof goes through as before.

(Maybe there's a more thoroughly number-theory-ish way to do it by looking at prime factorizations, but when I try it that way it always seems to end up rather a mess.)

[EDITED to add:] But elsewhere in the discussion users bustermellotron and diffeomorphism give (very similar) neat number-theory-ish proofs, either of which is definitely a better proof than the one using the calculations above.

Or, you can take a risk-informed approach, and understand what risks are prevalent (e.g., the risk of a bad vendor) and put the appropriate checks in place to mitigate that risk. "Learning" doesn't always mean taking the highest risk option and just rolling the dice.

TL;DR: Compleat and Complete were originally different spellings for the same word. In UK, compleat is still just an archaic spelling. In USA, compleat is used as an adjective to refer specifically to having all the necessary elements or skills.
Yes, this is the idea behind the proposed error metrics in my thesis, particularly the "hybrid error metric" in 9.6.1 and then implemented in the Python code (see curves/to_cubic.py in the spiro-0.01 release). But it needs refinement, specifically calibration against perceptual data as measured by experiment.

Yes, adopt a crypto currency that one day is worth 45k, and a month later it's worth 30k, and a month after that it's worth 20k, and 2-3 months later it's 15k (that's what happened in the second half of 2022)

You would need to hire a crypto savvy trader to distribute your risks over several currencies and exchanges.. and when you reaches $250,000 in valuation (which hopefully the employee tells you it is), you need to hire a second to make sure it all doesn't disappear in an uninsured irretrievable early retirement package for the trader.

You basically have to set up a crypto business along with your actual business idea... Compared to traditional small business where you can hire an accountant to do payroll for just a few hours, and you have next to no risk your accountant can easily run off with millions of your dollars that you can't get back.

fake quote> Anyone that took a Calculus course knows how to analyze this function and get the minimum, maximum and increasing and decreasing intervals. The calculation is unsurprising and boring, so I will skip it and use a graph instead.

fake quote> Anyone that didn't take a Calculus course will not understand the technical details. The calculation is long enough to be distracting and boring, so I will skip it and use a graph instead.

Unless the main public of the blog are students from the first year of the university, I agree with the author that it's better to use a graph and left the calculations as an exercise.

[Perhaps the analytical calculation could have been a note at the bottom, but it's long and unsurprising enough to be boring to write it clearly and carefully. Just left it as an exercise :) .]
This comment basically implies I don't get it, but I will if I watch a Youtube video. I get it. ChatGPT isn't that. That's the point. You can have concerns about AGI. That's fine. But they have nothing to do with LLMs unless you are trying to play a shell game.
Not back in the 80's.
Have you heard of instances where airplanes failed due to something as basic as a nut or a screw not meeting the required specifications? It's difficult to trust the reliability of a rocket, which is largely based on statistics, when you're putting hundreds of people on it. How can we be certain that NASA/FAA and other organizations will permit such a risk?
We don't even have to go to crypto. AI has had many boom/bust cycles. The term "AI Winter" dates back from the 80s!

Of course, at every cycle we get new tools. The thing is, once tools become mainstream, people stop referring to them as "AI". Take assistants (Amazon Echo, Cortana, Siri, etc). They are doing things that were active areas of "AI" research not long ago. Voice recognition and text to speech were very hard problems. Now people use them without remembering that they were once AI.

I predict that GPT will follow the same cycle. It's way too overhyped right now (because it's impressive, just like Dragon Naturally Speaking was). But people will try to everyday scenarios and – outside of niches – they will be disappointed. Cue crash as investments dry up.

Hopefully this time we won't have too many high profile casualties, like what happened with Lisp Machines.

This seems pretty cool. So you can only send data to Tinybird and Upstash? Any support for other destinations?
Our ids tend to run wild on the internet, so it’s not surprising. It is extremely disappointing that there is always someone willing to take advantage, but that is the story of humanity I suppose. My hope is somehow we are capable of creating something better than this.

A few of these rules are outright not true or are missing a greater picture of things.

90 degree vs 45 degree bends do not matter.

Ground planes are not a necessity for high speed digital, you just need either a power OR a ground plane referenced to the digital. They're both identical when talking about high speed.

Generally speaking (although almost no one seems to do this), you would prefer to have differential pairs NOT be tightly coupled. Tightly coupled pairs means impedance goes down, which drives very small traces on high speed signals (which, screws you if you have single-ended signals... because the traces need to be fat in comparison).

Overall not a horrible start, but it's pretty surface-level for high speed design.
Damn that was it. I was a little surprised cause everything else worked fine, including HN, Imgur, Google etc.
For roughly 10 seconds the telemetry reported 5 failed engines, then the last engine to fail re-ignited. But from the photos it looks like a total of 6 engines were off for longer period of time, 5 at the outer rim and 1 of the inner 3.

Thats 6 of 33 engines out, or 18.18%. Incredible it was still accelerating upwards
Yes, by ~20x.

Copy-pasting a comment of mine from a few days ago:

We decided at work to run a little experiment with GPT3 to see if/how-much it was 'worth it'.

Since baseball is back and most of us are fans, we decided to write a baseball simulator. We each had a Friday afternoon to write one up. Half of us got to use the free GPT3, and half had just regular googling. After the jam, we'd compare notes at the bar and see what the difference, if any, was.

Holy cow, was there ever a difference.

Those without GPT3 got pretty far. Got the balls and strikes and bases and 9 innings. Most got extra innings down. One even tried the integration with ERA and batting stats in the probabilities of an event occurring but was unable to get it done.

The GPT3 group was estimated to be 2 weeks worth of work ahead of the googling group. Turns out, there is a whole python library for baseball simulations and statistics. The googling group didn't find that, but GPT3 just prompted it outright on the first query for everyone using it. This group got the basics of the game done in ~30 minutes. Managed to get integration with actual MLB statistics. Built somewhat real physics simulators of balls in play and distances, adjusted for temperature and altitude. Not all of them at once, but a lot of really great stuff.

Aside: Did you know that MLB publishes, in real time, all 6 degrees of freedom for a ball, from where it leaves a pitchers hand to where a catcher/batter interacts with it? They put out the spin rates in three axes! Wild stuff.

Our conclusions were that it's totally 'worth it' and is a ~20x multiplier in coding speed. It spits out a lot of really bad code, but it gets the skeletons out very quickly and just rockets you to the crux of the problems. For example: it gave out a lot of jibberish code with the python baseball library; like trying to pass a date into a function that only takes in names. But it gives you the correct functions. Easy enough to go and figure out the documentation on that function.

Like I said, it's a ~20x multiplier for our little experiment.

Action Items for management: Pay whatever you have to and let us use it all the time.

Good for Germany I guess. I'll take the 59% number at it's word.

I call it the "good enough" problem. When you really thing about it, the quality requirements from most art/programming/writing jobs are really not that strict. With new AI techniques, I envision that the bottom of the pyramid will be eaten, but at the top, the input of human creators will be valued even more.
They have two more ships built and two under construction. I think the iteration time could be driven by the (1) condition of the launch pad (2) the cause of S24 destruction.
Exchange has my CC number and the 'card holder' (though I never put my name there, lol). A non-business card is probably the most easy way to identify someone globally.

If someone comes to exchange - they could identify me (and they can just tap their server to listen to email which do have all the transaction info, including CC# in the plaintext, lol).

To establish a correlation between my wallet and Mullvad account someone needs to find that transaction in Mullvad customer data. Which - they claim they don't have.

So yes, someone can identity what I bought services from Mullvad and... nothing more?
I agree, you shouldn't be able to single-handedly veto buildings that have nothing to do with you. And I'd vastly prefer ugly dense buildings over the current failure to build anything.

However, we can build dense housing that isn't awful to look at for only marginal price increases in many cases, and where possible, I think it makes sense to do so. No individual should have veto power, but I think it makes sense for a community to have a stake in building beautiful urban areas.
How would you argue that? I mean, please step me though this argument.
Towards the bottom they say $100 = 20 coffees, so they're are pricing a coffee as $5 per cup.

If this was all the way transparent about Keycloak they’d make it clear that Keycloak is the upstream for Red Hat SSO, which has support options from Red Hat/IBM and so on. It’s a little bit different model from theirs, but no less valid.
This similar to Chinas stand on IP: copying is ok so long it doesn't happen to our IP. But this is how small economies can grow quickly, by ignoring IP. So nearly every western nation had a period of ignoring copyright and/or IP.
I disagree. You’re getting caught in the semantics; the notion of 20 $5 coffees makes sense and is an easy and relatable way to reframe $100.
Ahh okay, this answered my question: https://www.tinybird.co/blog-posts/mockingbird-announcement-...

Sounds exactly the same. There are no cheap aircraft. Everything that flies is subject to innumerable laws and regulations to ensure that it is built to exceedingly high standards. There is no such thing as a discount aircraft with lesser reliability. Some are cheaper than others but none are deliberately less-reliable, not in any fundamental way. Even ultralights have to abide many regulations.
> These arguments aren't mine. You're attempting to colour my words by associating them with someone else's who they apparently "sound like."

I didn't say they are. You stated you didn't know what I was talking about, I explained. No one is attempting to color your words as anything. You made a statement regarding the harm AI is doing to women and I'm saying that it echos the sentiment of a congresswoman who I deeply disagree with.

> This is a strawman.

no, it isn't a strawman when that is literally the issue on the table. Congresswoman Eshoo as I stated wants to use state power to ban Stable Diffusion, and she's using the same argument you're using. The entire world is in a moral panic and it makes me embarrassed to share the same oxygen as these people.
Mmmm... costs matter? You've obviously never worked for IBM or Amazon.
If you're doing large stack allocations like this (or even if you're not, but care about correctness), you should be doing static analysis to prove absence of stack overflows. One of the main advantages of heap allocation over stack allocation is that failure is reliably detectable; with a large stack allocation, especially with sparse access patterns, you're well on the way to shipping broken code.

People have different use cases for a VPN. I use one because I travel a lot, and spend a lot of time on dodgy public Wi-Fi. Not because I’m living some Jason Bourne fantasy.
I'm quite curious about some of these applications because I don't really understand what the cognitive work is that's being offloaded.

Making meal plans: what is being done here? making a list of meals to eat each day of the week? isn't this just a question of thinking what one would like to eat? why is it easier to have the meals chosen by someone else?

Writing school essays: what is the point of this? Aren't school essays only written in order to learn to write, or to learn about some other topic?

Writing emails to CRA: presumably you have to put all the pertinent information in the prompt. Can't you just copy that prompt into an email?

Unlike many news orgs, ProPublica's funding has managed to stay solid during the post-President Trump years — $60M according to their 2021 990, vs. $51M in 2019. I worked there in its first years, when nearly its entire $10M budget came from its founding donor.

But PP, along with Axios and Politico, is an exception that proves the rule. The NYT is probably the only legacy news org that has an optimistic long-term future, due to its last-man-standing position and diversification into tech and games.

(TV news is a different situation, obviously Fox News has done very well. CNN had major cuts during the Discovery-Warner merger, but I don't think they're on a downward spiral)

Oh I totally agree, but that is a form of learning.

Not in those words no.

I have an ongoing conversation with mine about the things he finds online. We talk about how people try to benefit from appearing "rich" online. We talk about how people have problems in their lives and find things to blame and rant about online. We talk about how people you don't know can try to get things from you or make you think a certain way.

He even started using the term "clickbait" before I even taught it to him. These kids are savy. I think the biggest thing we can do for them is to help them understand how to contextualize what they're engaging with because they don't get to grow up in the "before" and "after" worlds that elder millennials did.

And frankly, I see that my kid is just as saturated in propaganda from his public school as he is from online media. So far, in parallel to his education, school seems to be running one giant ad for the US armed forces.
Not sure what it is based on. Whisper?

My old company used to buy human transcription at $3 per minute. AI now does that for a fraction of that price (seems the pricing is 1,000 minutes for $299 and 5,000 minutes for $999).

That is 1/10th of the old price my company used to pay. I wonder how good it really is.
Jokes are the unit tests of our understanding. Sure, the gag "fails", but it makes the point of the general usability of the infamous Lisp-machine-in-editor-drag.
With Stable Diffusion + controlnet, it is pretty damned easy to make nudes of people - and if they're wearing something tight-fitted, it's probably quite accurate as far as overall body shape.

Of course, you can make a model of someone with ~30 images and have them wearing and doing whatever you want.

On the flip side, that means if your real nudes are leaked you have plausible deniability. What might have been a career ending incident can now be dismissed as someone generating those images instead.

I am lucky enough to have worked on all three of these systems (TAO, ZippyDB, and currently MySQL) so can shed some light here.

Both MySQL and ZippyDB are datastores that use RocksDB under the hood, in a slightly different way and with different querying capabilities exposed to the end user. ZippyDB uses it exclusively, but MySQL uses both the traditional InnoDB and RocksDB (MyRocks). TAO is in memory graph database, layer above both of these, and doesn't persist anything by itself - it talks to the database layer (MyRocks).
The journalist narrative on this is petty and pathetic, all over some little blue icons...

If this is the case, then the system needs to be far less complex. The algorithm should absolutely be tuned in the direction of steering children toward content suitable for children and away from that which is not. They know this is not currently the case and doing nothing, so yes, they're purposely keeping it harmful.

Whenever I see this comment on HN I always am a bit surprised: Do you not have any friends from/in China?

This conspiracy theory always gets a good chuckle out of me and my Chinese friends whenever it comes up. I have a good chunk of my family living in China and I can assure you, Chinese kids watch just as much if not more junk over there than they do in the US.

This is similar to trying to argue that America kids only play wholesome games on the Xbox or Youtube because they have parent controls.

But to my first point: surely working in tech right now you have a few Chinese coworkers. I recommend you grab lunch with them sometime (and let them choose the place to eat!)
I was so surprised it held for so long! Every time something similar happened in KSP I got a little angry at the game for obviously wrong simulation: no way the rocket would hold together under such stresses. And then I see real-life rocket of biggest proportions do just that. I owe KSP an apology I guess
You can’t verify the reliability of an aircraft by flying it 1000 times because you’d be putting the life of the pilots at risk. Autonomous rockets have no such constraint. You could launch starship an unlimited number of times without putting a single person at risk.
His MP3 book is also a delight.
My guess is that losing too many engines meant that they were too low, in too thick atmosphere for the speed they were reaching and with the reduced control authority form a missing gimbaling engine they couldn't maintain stability with those fins in the front. But we'll learn more later.
I know this on an intellectual level; like reading a book about riding a bike. But my learned instinct is to use my accelerator to control the rate of spin, which is a horrible mistake in FWD.
That's not a use case I've put any thought into, honestly, but if I assume the "good spiders" are well-behaved, you should be able to identify them based on their user agent string. Or perhaps you can nail down what IP ranges the good spiders are coming from and allow them based on that.
