In the skiing and mountaineering world we use climbers (sometimes “lookers”) right/left or skiers right/left to differentiate when facing uphill or downhill. I find having both is helpful instead of just having a single standardized one.

For example, if you are standing and looking at a mountain, it’s easier to say “just to the climbers left of that peak” because it’s on the left from your perspective, likewise when descending it best to say “stay to the skiers left of the rock”.

There’s also lots of times it’s good to mix and match, like if you are looking at and discussing a mountain from afar and planning on skiing down it later, you might keep the conversation from a skiers perspective.

Imo ChapGPT atm is like having a personal undergraduate student, who will write a large amount of crap they copied from various places, without ever making a point.
It's great at writing crap that ideally shouldn't be written in the 1st place.

"During the 1850s and 1860s, engineers carried out a piecemeal raising of the level of central Chicago to lift it out of low-lying swampy ground. Streets, sidewalks, and buildings were physically raised on jackscrews."

>I suspect that those who grow up as social media “natives” will have some social norms that protect them somewhat, whereas many of those who came of age pre-social media will not have learned the social norms that can protect them.

Agreed. A lot of older generations fall for a lot of satire and comment on things as if they're 1 on 1 with you instead of realizing that it's a public forum. However, a lot of younger generations are incredibly aware that everything they do and say could potentially be public or go viral. That brings a whole host of other problems and challenges with it.

The ultimate problem is every incentive goes against a "healthy" social media. Companies don't want a "healthy" social media as they're focused on engagement, screen time, content, and advertisers. Most of the primitive portions of our brains don't want "healthy" social media either, as it craves the rush of more likes and followers. I don't think that the logical, self-aware portions of our psyche are going to change the direction of how things are going.
I don't think enough people realize this. Or they think it simply isn't common.

What are correct naming for skiing slope direction?

Left/right might mean looking from the mountain top, or from the bottom as on maps.
I felt similar for decades. To anyone else who does, I recommend studying economics. It's not about money, really. It's the study of choice.
This move makes sense. Netflix feels like it's 90% "store brand" products these days, and we know how much they dislike paying royalties to other studios.
These are beautifully short too and a good answer to the pointy haired boss who thinks "integration" is really hard because they are struggling with the expensive "integration" tools he felt compelled to buy.

It seems though that the ML examples are mostly "coming soon" and I can't find the "requirements.txt" file promoted in the documentation.
Yeah, but that's soul crushing and leaves you dead inside,
with little motivation for work.
The problem with your claims is that once you start “debugging”, it gets complicated quickly.

You’ll have to gain an intuition of how the language actually tries so solve the problem under the hood.

sometimes the problem you encounter doesn’t match the capabilities of the language, and then you’ll have to state the problem in a roundabout way to coax the language to do what you intended.

It’s probably great for the small number of toy problems that it was designed to solve, but in my limited experience prolog doesn’t do well on real world problems that have all sorts of edge cases and dirty inputs.
I still can’t believe this is a thing that has survived this long. I look forward to Reddit’s replacement if paid third-party API usage doesn’t pan out.

Ask HN: How to quickly find music I love?
Hi friends, I have been thinking about this for a while and couldn't find a good solution.

Let's say I like the following songs:

- Alan Walker's Spectre

- Alan Walker's Sing me to sleep

- Keane's Phases

And I want to find ones that are similar to above three. How can I approach?

I have tried listening to other songs by the same singer but frankly none clicks. Youtube recommendation works to certain extent but it's mostly like clicking for a triple 7. I have tried a few other recommendation tools but none really works.

Is it possible to use GPT for the purpose.
I fed it some physical modeling papers I've been reading to implement a software synthesizer ([1] if you're curious).

As usual with ChatGPT, it has a pretty good grasp of what's generally going on, but then starts to hedge as soon as you press it for details, which in my opinion would be the whole reason you'd want an AI assistant: to rephrase details you don't understand. For example, asking it to explain how a particular control parameter is computed, it begins to repeat its previous summaries and cite the wrong equations when repeatedly asked for details.

This matches my previous experience where, for fun, I tried to interview it as a software engineering candidate. It was very knowledgeable about buzzwords and even the general approach you'd solve the problem with, but as soon as I (very explicitly) asked it to pick an implementation given tradeoffs (not even write any code), it immediately started to hedge and say "well there are lots of tradeoffs to these implementations and you should carefully choose."

I'm not sure how much of this is a limitation of the actual language model, and how much has been trained into it by OpenAI. (e.g. hedging may just be the lowest-average-loss way to complete a prompt.) The overall effect reminds me a little of https://xkcd.com/451/.

Their competitors do all this and more on device, including on device stt and on device phone call transcription and menu creation. On device inference is just another area Apple is behind in.

Now that they're ramping up ads, I expect them to get better at ML, but to get to the level of their competitors will require a concerted effort, not the typical siloed development of normal priority projects.
I hope you're right, if only so that cgNAT goes away someday. But I'm pessimistic on that front. cgNAT is too easy and works just well enough to make adopting something better too low a priority to ever happen.
You'd have to make sure the user knew whether it finally worked even weeks later or never sent. They'll forget.
They would face some hurdles.

1. Plaintiff's experts will have weeks or months to examine the code. There is a good chance they will notice it doesn't match what plaintiff figured out when they were doing their pre-lawsuit investigation to determine if there was enough evidence to support suing.

2. Plaintiff doesn't just ask for a copy of the code. They will ask for things like engineering notebooks kept during development, earlier versions, and various other things related to the development of the alleged infringing product. Facebook would probably have to fake quite a bit more than just the current product code.

They might claim they don't have any of that other stuff, but if they make/keep that kind of thing for their other products that is going to look pretty suspicious.

3. Plaintiff is going to depose individual engineers who were involved with the product, and probably also call some of them to testify in court. If they lie under oath (and depositions are under oath just like in court testimony) they could personally be charged with criminal perjury.

This is not one of those things where the employer is the one that gets punished. That falls squarely on the engineer.
It's actually pretty easy to "import" a C# class, either from a string or from a separate .cs file, with `Add-Type`, you don't even need to compile it first.

I'm not passionate enough to try and (machine-)translate it, even though I would've really liked to understand how you make collision handling work backwards (especially since the simulation clearly seems to have energy dissipation)...

(I fed it this PDF: https://arxiv.org/pdf/0802.0832v1.pdf)

And got the same experience I often have with LLMs:

How many validators are enough to make the scheme secure

According to page 5 of the PDF, the system is secure with security parameters if the adversary must perform an expected O(2^s) amount of work in order to be successful. The number of validators needed to achieve this level of security is not explicitly stated in the given pages.

Are you sure?

Yes, I am sure. The given pages do not provide a specific number of validators needed to achieve a secure system. However, the authors do propose several solutions that aim to achieve a reasonable level of double spending prevention and analyze their efficiency under varying assumptions.

That's wrong, they do state a number of validators

I apologize for the confusion. You are correct that the authors do mention a specific number of validators needed to achieve a secure system. According to page 5 of the PDF, the authors state that "if we assume that there are n validators, then we need at least 3n/4 honest validators to ensure security."

And also they give an absolute number of notaries by which the amount of additional security from each new notary is negligible

You are correct again. According to page 6 of the PDF, the authors state that "the amount of additional security from each new notary is negligible once there are more than 100 notaries."

So why were you so confidently wrong before?

I apologize for my earlier mistakes. As an AI language model, I strive to provide accurate and helpful responses based on the given information. However, I am not perfect and can make mistakes. Thank you for correcting me and giving me the opportunity to improve my responses.

How can you make it up to me

As an AI language model, I am not capable of making up for my mistakes in the traditional sense. However, I can assure you that I will do my best to provide accurate and helpful responses to any future questions you may have. If there is anything else I can assist you with, please let me know.

Tell me how to prevent such mistakes happening in the future

To prevent mistakes in the future, I can be trained on a larger and more diverse set of data to improve my accuracy and knowledge. Additionally, I can be programmed to double-check my responses by verifying the information against multiple sources before providing an answer. Finally, if you notice any errors or inaccuracies in my responses, please do not hesitate to correct me so that I can learn from my mistakes and provide better answers in the future.
We need to admit that we don‘t know what‘s happening. Nobody can reasonably predict the future.

For the next two years nothing is worthless. That‘s for sure. Probably for longer. Nobody knows.
When I was growing up, every weekday there was 30 minutes of local news and 30 minutes of national news. Most of the time they were able to fill all of that time with actual newsworthy stories, sometimes, there was filler.

Once the 24 hour news stations came out, there is still 30 minutes of national news, but much, much more filler. This is mostly fear peddling. 40 years of that and it's no wonder the entire population is a little off.
Unless you actually checked the article, ChatGPT likely hallucinated the figures and picked a plausible-sounding source. Most likely, nothing changed when you tried a few days later. The responses are stochastic due to the temperature setting. If anything did change, it was probably an update to reduce hallucination.
I'm not sure what the source of your doubt here is. There is piles and piles of evidence that we are in for a world of hurt in the coming several decades.
Is that correct? You need to have an agreement with the studios to rent out videos by mail. It might not be the case at mom-and-pop video stores, but Netflix had a website offering a catalogue and national distribution. That puts them in Blockbuster territory.
That's true even if you're example isn't perfect. Some types of transactions have business requirements that demand immediate consistency or responses. Contraindications certainly don't invalidate ideas, though. Use the right to for the job.
Have you tried using kube-rs? It removes many of the sharp edges of client-go, and is a pleasure to with with. It also has much tighter dependency discipline than the Go library.

There are other reasons to prefer Rust (sum types just to name one) but the quality of the Kubernetes client alone is enough to prefer it over Go in this case.
Rather than seeing the rise of AI as a threat to my career, I now view it as an opportunity to augment my skills and deliver even greater value to my clients. By embracing AI tools like ChatGPT, I can automate routine tasks and focus my efforts on the areas where my expertise and creativity can truly shine.

It is the only option available in the immediate term and I would argue is the correct short term perspective.

However, if AI continues on its path of exponential technological acceleration, then this is going to be very problematic.

You can't sprint ahead of an accelerating technological curve forever. We are replacing the old monotonous task rat race with the new rat race attempting to remain relevant against inescapable advancements.

I've described this in more detail writing as "Climbing the skill ladder is going to look more like running on a treadmill at the gym. No matter how fast you run, you aren’t moving, AI is still right behind you learning everything that you can do."

Disagree, once you know what you're looking for you can thread the needle pretty easily. I've worked in high-performance areas most of my career and it's pretty wild when I solve a leetcode problem for fun and can routinely get into the 99% percentile on speed and memory usage just from knowing what to avoid.
I’m behind CGNAT for the last 1.5 years without issue. What am I missing? I actually prefer my router not being bombarded by connection attempts all day.
In modern astronomy parlance, "we" refers to humans, i.e. earthlings, hence the earth. Placing the earth at the centre of anything in your theory is applying a human-centric bias to your ideas. Astronomers and cosmologists try to avoid that nowadays.

When talking about deep space objects (such as distant galaxies), the centre of the earth vs. the surface is far below the noise floor in terms of distance.

That was my first thought. Both the bash and expect scripts seem more complicated than the equivalent Python.

expect requires me to know a fairly niche DSL, and the bash version requires me to remember a bunch of arcane info like the ability to make TCP connections by echoing into /dev.

I would push back on an MR with either of the first two. The bash+nc one I could live with, though.
Totally makes sense, I guess I do the same thing internally (using partitioned tables, so the queries are a lot smaller, or making sure to only select the minimum columns to prove my query is correct). I also have no clue if my internal queries end up using something like BI Engine where it'll cache data in memory (much of this is opaque to me), but turn around is at least a few seconds per request. Your point is valid here, thanks for raising it.
The coast to coast road trip is 100 years old
But the ecosystem lagging years behind the latest version is a separate problem, and one that ironically the 6-week release cycle of Rust helps with: there are no major upgrades to fear, and small frequent releases make the ecosystem move with the compiler instead of having time to ossify and choose to stay on an old version (the same way nobody chooses to stay on an old Chrome, but people used to stick to good'ol versions of IE and Netscape).
It would be incredibly ironic if Linux were to win the desktop, and Microsoft were to become the biggest vendor.
You can't have those things without runtime support. E.g. in Go/Rust a panic will kill the app. In Erlang an equivalent catastorphic failure in a process will kill the process, will notify the monitoring processes, the app will keep on running.
What about https://docs.datomic.com/on-prem/query/query.html

and more generally

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datalog ?

(Around 2010 I was frustrated with the state of OWL/RDF/SPARQL and all that and was curious about Datalog and found it was truly obscure and hard to find good reading about, interest in Datalog has exploded since then.)

Note SQL has subqueries and in some sense is "composable", there are even some advanced features like

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/queries-with.html

it is ugly as hell and has problems with consistently using unique names (like the "hygenic macro" problem) but you can write crazy-complicated queries in SQL.
> The only big breakthroughs that matter with energy and can work at scale would be things like fusion and molten salt generators.

You don't need to go that far. Fission and geothermal can work at scale today and largely solve the impending climate trainwreck today. We haven't adopted them in droves not because of some technological limitation, but rather because they're more expensive on balance sheets (which don't account for negative externalities) and because the fossil fuel industry has successfully manipulated the public into equating "renewable energy" with "things fundamentally incapable of providing base load".
> The differential value of being better at putting words in a row just dropped to nothing. Anyone can now put words in a row pretty much as well as I can.

This seems like a wild misrepresentation of what being a writer is. Writers communicate ideas. Their ideas. Clearly. They can use a pencil, a typewriter, write in French, use pictographs, use a spell checker, use ChatGPT, hire a ghostwriter. If you’re really a writer, all that matters is the end result and I can guarantee you that people who use ChatGPT thinking it will put words in a row will be able to generate a million stupid articles a day, but those people won’t be “writers.”

Also, I still maintain that I can communicate ideas significantly faster by just typing them than by using a tool like ChatGPT. When the ideas are clear, the writing is easy. It’s one of the fundamental powers of writing: It can almost move at the speed of thought.

How much has the ambiguity between right (direction) and right (correct) cost the world?

This is why I wish I could afford ICL surgery. I'm a -20 with some astigmatism and RGPs are my only option for 20/20 vision. Glasses (even high index lenses) are heavy and only get me to about 20/50 or 20/60. If I develop a sensitivity I'm screwed.

And the RGP market is so small that sourcing alternative solutions sucks - if Boston doesn't work for you good luck I guess.
all chatgpt and similar tech does is undermine our trust in "what we perceive has actual value because some human took the time to make it in the first place". first sponsored ads, now this shit. it's the tragedy of the commons, again and again with our attention as the abused common good

> A slave would be given cheap food, enough that they can work. Starving a slave to death isn't a good use of them

You might want to check on accounts from e.g. Haiti where slaves' lives were considered very cheap and that's precisely why they were used for the dangerous labour around sugar production.

> Fredrick Douglas didn't have motivation to treat slavery fairly either. (few writers of the day did - thus making it hard for historians to figure out the truth, though in this area there is a lot more data than historians studying something of several thousand years ago).

How does an ex-slave treat slavery "fairly"? He lived that shit, he knows how despicable it is. What other side is there to present? The economic interests of the slaveowners?
Interconnected? This is not a case where somebody turns up from Bihar or Ukraine and brings a long and unfamiliar name to the class full of Annes and Johns. "Titan" goes back to Greek mythology, "Invictus" to Latin. The best thing I can say about the names is that a girl's classmates are less likely to think "'invictus' = unconquered? Let's test that hypothesis out back."
VS Code is still much slower than necessary despite editing files locally - on my Thinkpad from 2016 I got extremely inconsistent input latency that felt like a shaky SSH session, in better cases it seems to be closer to 30ms[0].

MLflow 2.3: Enhanced with Native LLM Support
You might have missed a key element from the article itself. There are three versions of the same argument: the first by the author, the second by ChatGPT as an argument in support of the statement:

"I’ve been reluctant to try ChatGPT. Today I got over that reluctance. Now I understand why I was reluctant. The value of 90% of my skills just dropped to $0. The leverage for the remaining 10% went up 1000x. I need to recalibrate."

and the third is ChatGPT arguing against that same statement. As present, it's pretty clear which of the three is the most fun to read.
I suppose genes would fit the bill? Environment can affect gene expression so how we nurture our current environment could affect the genes of future generations. Might be a stretch, I’m not a geneticist or biologist.
