That's helpful context, thanks! I assume the four-week follow-up they did would still be within the window of that "quick spike" you're mentioning?
matrices over reals are ok especially if you keep to SO(n) but you can get very weird maths as polynomial quotients. they do not look to me like they are very similar. complex plane and extensions of all kinds of weird. seems hacky rather than illuminating to me. but then i only really like complex numbers as a field since analytic functions are so nice
Ahh. Looks like I misspoke.

The first line should have been "Paradigm shifting innovations have never started as open source."

Yes, open source has helped many people innovate.
How do you know what data is sensitive, and how do you anonymize?

Modern macos is pretty unusably slow on old apple hardware. The same hardware ran earlier versions of the OS just fine. I’m not sure what’s going wrong at apple, but I don’t think they have enough performance engineers working on the Mac.

I run a CPU monitor in my dash (and have for years). The efficiency cores are very often busy doing some rubbish tasks I didn’t ask for while my computer is idle. Things like reindexing files, or re-scanning my photos for faces or something like that. I’ve started to think of them as the CPU cores apple put in my computer to keep their useless internal projects from ruining their hardware.

Linux annoys me regularly, but at least my cores are almost totally idle whenever my hands aren’t on the keyboard.
He is a clown, but calling him names without substance isn't interesting or valuable.

In this case, I think Twitter and every other person who helped train these models should have some upside from their success. If you disagree, please explain why.
I haven't experienced anyone in my friend group being pressured by others to join into group activities, and I'm pretty perceptive about interpersonal issues.

More commonly what I've seen happen is occasionally two people I'm friends with don't get along with each other, and have negative feelings coming to events/hangs where the other person will be there.
So what is the hard way ?

Anyone who thinks UI is where the latency and complexity resides should do a 3-mo residency at a cloud provider running actual infrastructure--not VMs and the like, but the actual routers, backbone links, service provider peering, and servers. It'll change your perspective on complexity for sure.
There’s a difference between telling someone they’re wasting their time with their current project, and asking them why they didn’t spend 6x - 60x as much budget on an already expensive project.
The confidence was for rhetorical purposes really. There’s no empirical basis to make such a statement.

I do, however, believe it. The current state of AI is so far behind the human mind that I think it’s reasonable to say it will never surpass the Human+computer combo.

It’s like talking about humans traveling outside of our galaxy. I guess, theoretically, it’s possible or technically even likely with a large enough amount of time. Theorizing that far into the future is meaningless though, as far as I’m concerned.
Looks like you’re seeing the glass as half empty here. Not sure if arguing here was more time efficient than just running the eval on the other set of weights.

Poker! I had an awesome group of poker friends in SF, maybe 10-12 of us who'd play regularly, although on any given weekend it'd only be 4-8 who'd show up. We'd sit around a table playing poker for hours and hours, and after half a year, we were pretty close!
The one thing I don't like, and this may just be Emirates cabin configuration, but the space between the seat back and the cabin wall on the widow seat is too large to be able to rest your head "comfortably" against the wall to sleep.

I flew MEL DXB LON KEF a couple of weeks ago. First 2 flights were A380, and the last was 757. I got better sleep on that 4 hour flight than either the other 2 legs (13 and 8 hours).
This is very cool! Would be amazing if you could pass in data in a certain format (like the SEC data) from non-US companies as well and view/compare data in the same way.
I worked for an IBM subsidiary in the early 90s while they were building and releasing HPTS. Our sub did ancillary products for HPTS and 3890 sorters, all in “c”, assembler, and running on OS/2. The OS/2 API was, IMO, more logically designed and documented than anything since. It was a blast. Sadly, OS/2 didn’t survived. But, it was fun while it lasted.
> I think we should be extremely cautious about views that suggest cross sections of the population are not capable agents.

I'm calling it as I see it. "Being cautious" and trying to be "fair" to the other side has been increasingly destroying the country.

47% of the voters in last election, which is just under 25% of the US population, were in fact manipulated, and are really, in this respect, not capable agents as a result of that manipulation. At the very least they're demonstrably not capable of critical thinking.

I've looked carefully at many explanations as to why MAGAts vote the way they do. It's blatantly obvious that there are a small number of primary motivations.

Aside from "sociopathic self-interest" of some of the 0.1% who simply want lower taxes, everyone else be damned, and a big chunk who reflexively vote Republican as if it's their home team and aren't really paying attention, the main motivator seems to be hate of "the liberals." And no, I don't accept that "hurting more than half of the country" is a reasonable motivation for someone under normal circumstances.

Where did that extreme level of hate come from? Manipulation. Sure there was an underlying anger that the propaganda stoked. People in rural America have it hard and they see all of these rich people in urban areas doing well. But that anger has been fanned to the point where kids knocking on the wrong doors are being shot. And the anger is fundamentally misdirected; these blue-collar folks could tremendously benefit from a higher minimum wage, for instance, and it's not like the Republicans would ever voluntarily vote for a minimum wage increase at this point.

> But why is that a good thing? We don't have to have everyone participate. You don't seem to believe in democracy yourself here.

It's the worst form of government around...aside from all the others that have been tried. (paraphrased Churchill).

I don't know of another form of government that has better results. Neither did Churchill. If we could enforce better national education standards, we'd end up with a better result. But in short term I don't know how to fix the problem other than taking the worst liars off the air.

"We don't have to have everyone participate" -- that sounds too much like a support for voter suppression, which is not what I'm talking about.
Boost – a new open-source desktop app for managing Spring Boot microservices
We're excited to introduce Boost, a modern tool for managing and monitoring actuator-enabled microservices, similar to Spring Boot Admin, that aims to make the process more user-friendly and straightforward.

One of our main goals with Boost was to create a tool that just works out of the box, without needing anything besides a functioning Actuator API on the other end.

Boost allows you to gain insights into the performance and health of your microservices by providing real-time monitoring of critical metrics such as CPU and memory usage.

Boost is open source and free to download and use. It is in pre release so we would greatly appreciate any feedback, recommendations and/or requests.

Boost repository:

In any HN discussion on housing there is inevitably a couple of people acting like you’re trying to build a krushchevka on their lawn.

There's a famous air-show where I live - Farnborough. Some years back there was an A319 and an A380 on show. They went up for a display in the sky, one after the other. The way the pilot threw the A319 around was pretty amazing, then the A380 went up and did basically the same manoeuvres. Pretty spectacular to watch these things. My brain still doesn't quite understand how the hell those metal birds stay in the air!
I feel like culturally speaking that's fair? The Windows ecosystem expects closed-source programs that are purely given to users as binaries, the ecosystem around FOSS operating systems expects most programs to be published as source code and then compiled by users or distros.
I miss flying A380s--such a pleasure.
Other airlines (I am talking to you, Emirates): you bring it back too!
It's pretty hard to study beyond doubt though. You're not going to get much parental consent (or probably even institutional approval) to run a study where you require the experimental group of teenagers to spend 3+ hours a day on social media. And if the experimental group limits screentime, well I think parents of teens know how hard that can be to actually enforce across devices if the kid really wants to get on social media. You can't control what their peer groups are doing, and there are privacy limitations on what info you can even collect on specific phone activity from consenting adults, let alone teens.

In general, for studies of difficult long term behavior adjustments you basically need cooperative participants that will be honest when they slipped up. Teens are a tough population for this.

What you described is called Continuum hypothesis[1]. Surprisingly it cannot be proven to be either true or false from(is independent of) ZFC set theory.

Let's say you have a log from a tree you just chopped down. You have the same amount of wood dug up as coal.

The first job of my professional career was at the Library of Congress in the Motion Picture, Broadcast, and Recorded Sound Division working to digitize things like this.

First, it was a fascinating job because of how media has been stored over time. Most people think of records or even phonographs but there are wax cylinders, wire spool recordings, and a ton more. Unfortunately, many of them are so degraded that you couldn't play them.

It wasn't later that they came up with the turning images to sound approach but we captured many of those original pictures.

Second, the sheer volume of stuff was nuts. The Library had warehouses of uncatalogued things sitting around without a real plan to log them, let alone digitize them.

While we had Thomas Edison's first motion pictures, the more fascinating thing about those is that copyright law at the time didn't have a way to address "moving pictures" so they did the only thing they could: copyrights on each individual frame. Yes, seriously. Luckily, at that point, it was only 15fps and movies were short.

Edison's work got all the attention but there were tons more like the ones in this article that were simply lost to time.
You need to consider the term “bijection” and what it means in practice. If I create a bijection of integers to integers f(x)=2x you can see that each member of the right side had exactly one member on the right, and vice versa, despite the left side containing some elements not on the right. There is no such bijection between ints and reals (by cantors theorem), but there is clearly a surjection of reals to ints (round down), so reals are of a larger infinite size.

I think a layman could easily understand this personally, without fancy math terms like bijection or surjection, the main exception being Cantors Theorem which fortunately has a plethora of nice visual proofs.

Anyway, the article is not really even about that but about potentially modifying ZFC to accommodate a particular outcome of the CH. I am quite interested in mathematics but to me this is a pointless philosophical argument because there don’t seem to be any useful or empirically verifiable results that depend on CH. Discussing CH to me seems to be more of a way for set theorists to troll each other and trigger cranks.
Should we let preteens buy and drink alcohol at school, under the logic that for some of them, the fun/socializing benefits will outweigh the downsides? While this would be funny for a while, I don't think its a good idea.
From your link:

“US Inflation Rate is at 4.98%, compared to 6.04% last month and 8.54% last year. This is higher than the long term average of 3.28%.”

Inflation was 8.5% last year, but even that is misleading because it is based on a cherry picked basket of goods that does not include things like fuel or housing costs.
Anything that depends on Safedisc is also screwed because Microsoft pulled the driver for security reasons. This includes a lot of first-party stuff like Mechwarrior 4 and Freelancer. Really wish they would put those up on GOG!
Greed.

Also, I’m not sure how much has changed since I left that part of the world, but for decades the blue collar workers (Filipinos, Indians, Pakistanis, etc.) were considered lower tier class in rich Gulf countries. Probably easier to exploit those who one feels are less deserving.
I would like them to use the facial recognition DHS/TSA has and skip the paper altogether.
What I want is client-side sandboxing of code per-component and per page area to be able to swap them and limit the damage of any particular failure (PWA-/SPA-style but combined stateful URL and efficient reloading like Turbo Frames). Server-side would be nice too. Both FE and BE should be reducible to respective plugins that have hard API "contract" integration points but can't escape like monolithic apps.

> The other side is this helps people move. When a parents kids move out of home you dont want them holding onto big homes just because theyd take a major financial hit by moving, even if their current home doesnt suit their lifestyle.

I don't think this really matters unless a lot of people are upside down on their homes.

We could probably target a 2% annual housing price decline (until builders stopped building) and still be fine in that regard.
Should a prerequisite to every successful tech person advice list include "Be 99th percentile IQ or higher"?

All these people go to schools and work environments where they exclusively interact with incredibly intelligent people. Do they really know just how mediocre the average person is? Or is the average person implicitly written off with respect to any sort of prodigious success.

The "number of people living in poverty" is based almost entirely on how you define poverty. America defines it as "three times the cost of a minimum diet in 1963" (adjusted for inflation). No accounting for housing, medical expenses, education, transportation, etc.

So you're right, we have fewer people starving to death, because food is relatively more affordable (and SNAP). However, we have more people who can't afford housing, medical emergencies, having children, or an education. The way that poverty has presented and affects people has changed, but our guidelines are still based on the idea that you aren't poor unless you literally can't afford to eat.

I'll give you the touch bar, since that very much does interact with the way GUIs work, but if your graphical toolkit needs to care about the CPU architecture at all I feel like something has gone terribly wrong. The closest thing that seems reasonable is to allow graphical acceleration, but requiring even that is a great way to ensure that things will break on a regular basis.

Yes. The well-established accounting principle of matching income and expenses.

Yes. See the answer to your second question. Companies often have to make investments. If they buy a Big Machine, they don't get to write it off in one year. There's nothing nefarious about amortizing costs over their useful life.

I salute your effort. On target valid points. What I am noticing however is both sides of the spectrum do agree on many things but the media buries this reality. The US must have immigrants. No way around that one.

One side however is saying yes, let them all in regardless. The other is saying concur but wait one. How about some fundamental rules of law like no hardcore criminals maybe? Can we at least have that checkpoint? And maybe honor during a major pandemic we have to shut it down for a few if we ourselves are locked down no? It's very disturbing without basic rules.

Whenever you see organic forms, it's interesting to realize the extent to which they are all "programmed" by their genetics into their structure. In their segments, you see the "for" loops of form. In the same manner this art compresses the forms into their essential mechanical geometries, so too does genetic code create essential abstractions that allow the laws of mathematics to guide their structural harmony.
