What's fascinating for me is how directly LangChain's Input > Thought > Action > Observation maps to the Observe > Orient > Decide > Act (OODA) Loop that is used in many other industries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OODA_loop. The fact that we can do OODA loops without a human in the loop--by just passing a bunch of tools and adding memory to a LangChain--is simply mind blowing.

Having said that, I believe LangChain can benefit from incorporating learnings/failures from successful OODA Loops where human feedback continually improves the automation. I am not an expert, but it seems like this type of human feedback can be incorporated into LangChain by plugging in an RLHF framework. Not sure though if this RLHF framework plugs into Thought or Action.
You can balance hiring additional staff and potential tax savings (not a great idea but possible-ish). And a lot of software dev does feel like R&D (experimental development).
I miss those type of graphics. They added an element of fantasy that you just don't get nowadays.

yes, i do!
it's just one of my side hustle. I create templates based on a specific schedule or timing. These are very useful if you are targeting a specific customer type. I had invested $0 building these templates and until now(just started 2 weeks ago) I have $50 revenue. I spare some time of my weekends building these.

if you need any help learning how to create templates and start selling? You can ping me haneenmahdin@gmail.com.
It's very much worth it. I've relearned to type 2 or 3 times now (changing to using hands more equally with proper fingers, learning dvorak, learning workman). The first month or so can be rough, but if you're fully immersed and still computing, it gets better every day. I would recommend daily typing tests, making sure you know where every single symbol is on your keyboard, and aiming for accuracy. You can gain 5-10wpm per day near the start. Like with most skills, it really solidifies during sleep, so if you take a test after waking up in the morning each day, you should see very noticeable gains. I used monkeytype last time and tweaked the settings to be 60 seconds, capitals, numbers, and symbols all enabled, and for every new 10wpm milestone I'd write down the date I hit it.

Something that I've wondered about for a while: https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/Sauerstoff
Are large datasets too much exposure or worth the risk? For OpenAI it appears the latter.
A space elevator on Mars is probably totally feasible. But of course the benefits would be much larger on Earth.

The problem is: the benefit of a space elevator is bigger the deeper your gravity well is, but it's also much harder to impossible to make one there.

But I've also been wondering: wouldn't it be possible to have a tapering space elevator? Reduce the weight by making the parts that have to carry less weight thinner?
The news is more that MS is removing Twitter as a "ad-partner" due to the new API rules. The response from musk is just ...
Nah, k=1 is the trivial base case and is allowed. The "assumption" is no such thing, but just notational convenience. One can of course tidy that up (e.g. n\leq m and trivial case is obvious), but for a random HN post it seems not worth the effort.
Product Designers and UX Designers are not the same, which one are you?
They say just before that: "Then we can say that 1 < n < e."

Since e = 2.71..., there are not too many options for n. The sentence is a bit overconvoluted, but it's correct.

Of course if the search space is bigger, you need to either do some more thinking to narrow it down - or spend a lot of time probing candidates.

As another poster pointed out, it's not just the US, though with the US's economic dominance it's a huge factor. China and middle eastern nations don't like sexual content either. Basically, the governments in these places want you to concentrate on the state-sanctioned religion instead of relieving your biological urges with porn. So in the middle east, they want you thinking about Islam all day long. In the US, they want you thinking about Jesus n' Guns. In China, they want you thinking about the glory of Xi and the CCP. I'm pretty surprised actually that Russia hasn't cracked down on porn yet.
Yup, we looked closely at Dreem and Philips SmartSleep which both implemented the same core science.

As we see it, they made 3 big mistakes
1) awful ridiculous looking product nobody wanted to be seen in
2) way to expensive to want to try
3) not picking a target market - hey, everyone needs sleep!

We've addressed each of these
Would be cool, but as far as I understand, even long, continuous carbon nanotubes wouldn't be strong enough to carry their own weight.
They did, before the two crashes there were other incidents (e.g. a Lion Air flight just the days prior to the one that crashed where a third pilot was in the cabin by accident and his quick thinking saved the plane: https://www.cnbc.com/2019/03/20/lion-air-boeing-737-saved-by... )

True, but considering that the linked post uses e, log, limits and derivatives without any further comment, I am going to err on the side of "nah, enough detail".
You're not going to find a huge high-rise right next to a bunch of row homes; there's rules against that. High-rises have to have a certain amount of space around them anyway, but also there's rules about how much you're allowed to block your neighbors' sunlight. Basically, making taller buildings is allowed, but they can only be so much taller than the surrounding buildings. Over time, this means things could get very tall, but not quickly.

As for unified styles, there's no laws about that AFAIK. They're probably just like that because the landowners want it that way. Lots of stuff in Japan is done (or not done) without any formal laws or rules, but rather because of social pressure and consensus. It's possible that some very unique or culturally-important districts do have certain rules though, which is why I wrote "... in most of Japan".
And it’s all due to the very existence of progressing technology. Dr. Skrbina in the book Technological Slavery makes the case that humanity has no control over the impacts of technology on humanity, and that technology has an emergent will that is independent of humans who create and operate it.

No, it's not. It's a transformation model. It cannot prioritize, remember things, create novel ideas, nor does it have an online processing model of any kind. It is bounded to the data on which it was trained, which as of GPT 3.5 caps out at a few years ago.

We have a _very_ long way to go to AGI. Diluting down the meaning of the term "AGI" just to say we've reached it is, almost literally, moving the goalposts.

We've designed and built our own electrodes too. Though we don't have to do multi-day, and we're looking for a specific signal during sleep, so probably not as challenging as what you guys are dealing with.
Translation is not a process of mapping a word (language A) to a word (language B). Translation is by dictionary definition a process of expressing sense/meaning of text with a different language. If a Dutch word can be only exressed by a full page of text in English, it's just fine, it's still translation! The correct CS analogy is therefore not float to int conversion, but transpiling Pascal to ASM: the fact that one call in the former requires a bunch of assembler commands doesn't mean it's untranslatable.
Imgur has been lousy for a while, redirecting direct image links to their awful js-heavy reddit clone site. They've been due to be replaced for a while but this will definitely accelerate that.

Also, the irony of the Tumblr comparison is that Tumblr has become my default social image hosting provider now that they allow soft porn and have a paid ad-free subscription. The tables have turned!
> Apropos: difference calculus is a fascinating topic. It has lots of results that are analogous to differential calculus.

Which is to be expected, right? Given that differential calculus is just difference calculus in the limit.

>Who was the best King Lear in 1842? What made their performance special?

There's actually a surprising amount of information about famous stage actors, even going back to the 17th century. There are quite a few written accounts describing specific details of the staging, casts etc.

To answer your question, Samuel Phelps seems to have been the most popular King Lear of that time period. Prior to him, possibly Edmund Kean.

I'd encourage you to spend some time reading dang's comment history. I think it makes the guidelines and the reasons for them very clear.

https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=dang

I've read your comment history and I can see you do get a lot of flags. I recall vouching for one of your comments a while ago. But I think you have a habit of speaking provocatively in a way that attracts flags, and that most of them violate the guidelines in ways you're probably not aware of. I don't know if you're aware that dang is the admin here, but he did bring this up to you recently.
It's too bad Mitsubishi has basically given up too. It'd be nice to see more competition to Boeing/Airbus, especially after the 737MAX debacle. I'd have a lot more trust in a Japanese-built aircraft than a new Boeing, and I'm sure many others would too.
Exactly. Soekris was the first thing that came to my mind after seeing this news, having used various Soekris boxes for home router for many years. Eventually got replaced by Ubiquiti EdgeRouter 4 (which are now also impossible to get via common sale channels, besides ebay) running OpenBSD.

Oh yes, a trip down memory lane... some notes:

> Commodore produced a great many Amiga models, but for several years the gold standard was an Amiga 500 expanded with half a meg of RAM (bringing the total to a full megabyte) and an external floppy drive (bringing the total number to two).

These memory expansion cards went into the "expansion trapdoor" at the bottom of the A500 and most of them included an RTC - without that, you had to enter the date and time at every startup (of course only if you cared for your files having correct timestamps and other such stuff). I had one of those before I got a "Power PC Board" (https://mingos-commodorepage.com/sammlung/erweiterungen_deta...) because I needed something MS-DOS-compatible. The good thing was: when the "PC" wasn't in use, it not only doubled as a 512 KB expansion + RTC, but you also had a whopping 512 KB RAM Disk where you could copy some often-used programs to reduce floppy disk swapping.

Long article. I found this passage insightful:

… the problem with the way we build AI systems now is we we give them a fixed objective. The algorithms require us to specify everything in the objective. And if you say: can we fix the acidification of the oceans? Yeah, you could have a catalytic reaction that does that extremely efficiently, but consumes a quarter of the oxygen in the atmosphere

… the main point is if we build systems that know that they don't know what the objective is, then they start to exhibit these behaviours, like asking permission before getting rid of all the oxygen in the atmosphere
Nobody gives a damn about closed source StableLM. It'll die off in the evolutionary fight as strictly inferior. (How many people are using Claude or Bard?)

By being open source, StableLM will grow with the community. An ecosystem of mods, plugins, libraries, frontends, and more will be developed. Different companies will even compare notes and contribute upstream. Everyone participating wins.

You can already get both for free openly now. It's not hard, you can just Google search it. It's vastly easier and safer now to torrent or pirate than it ever has been, due to proliferation of information on safe sites, and also due to trust systems that have sealed out people who'd spread malware in the past.

People pay for digital content because it is consistently updated and has quality standards that piracy sometimes does not.

Make is very versatile but unfortunately underappreciated today. But just look at buildroot, it’s a ginormous system made with Makefiles.

I only wish for something which works like Make but has a more ergonomic syntax and an ability to define your own functions to determine if a target is up-to-date.

And for the love of everything that’s good, stop pigeonholing make into being a tool for compiling C-shaped programs. It’s useful for more than that.
insightful, thanks :)
You can get from R^d to I^d (with I the open unit interval) easily by applying x -> (arctan(x) + pi/2)/pi and y -> tan(pi * y - pi/2) to each coordinate. There are also ways to go from R to the closed unit interval. You can then combine this with space-filling curves for I^d.
First of all the first link explicitely constructs (in a very strong sense) an explicit bijection R->R^2 so I don't know how why you seem to think otherwise.

It is true that there is no continuous bijection R -> R^2. It is also true that this has nothing to with cardinality, which is only about the existence of bijections (and indeed is defined for arbitrary sets with no topological structure for which continuity makes no sense)
My daily driver has been lily58, which seems to have a good balance. It did take me quite a bit longer than I thought, but now it is quite comfortable - touch typing also feels more intuitive, especially with tenting. Prior to this, I was using Microsoft Sculpt ergonomic, which seems decent. However, after using lily58, even MS ergonomic keyboards feels less comfortable.

Definitely on the hobby side, rather than objectively better :) However, what made a massive difference for me was the tenting. Perhaps this is something that may help?

There's already numerous posts from artists claiming their work was copied verbatim (or near-verbatim) by major corps. Fighting it in court will take years and cost a fortune they don't have.
Wow, I remember reading the post of the creator of imgur that he made it specifically for reddit use. Then at some point they made it into this social platform and removed directly linking to images (or at least made it quite hard).

Now this, interesting to see a site from day 1 coming up and (probably) going down.
Well the userbase seems to largely be edgy teens and those that failed to grow out of that mindset. It's all very capitalism-bad america-bad libs-go-fuck-themselves behead-landlords socialism-right-now and also children need to be beaten when they don't function right, which is when I got off that train.
Well, I guess you're right. I mean, we're looking for two disctinct numbers as the final solution, but that doesn't mean we can't use k=1 in the proof.
"I mean, in your example, how can the first "infinite bus" ever empty in the first place to fill up the infinite hotel?"

This is easy, you need to shout at the people so each person leaves the bus twice as fast as the previous one. For example the frst person needs 1 minute to leave the bus, the second 0.5 minute, etc. In 2 minutes the bus is empty :)
Because continuity is not required here. There are non-continuous bijections between R and R^2.
No, it would have been fine if
1) they had 3 sensors and
2) the system was in the flight manual and the pilots were trained on the system. If this means needing a new type certification, then so be it.
That's unfortunate. This design still lacks information density. I use old.reddit because I don't need my front page covered in preloaded photos, videos, etc., and I like to be able to see things in a dense format, no scrolling required.

Research on Agent architectures is evolving real fast. I read Park et al.'s paper on Generative Agents a couple of weeks back which seems to have the potential to put LangChain's Memory on steroids: https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.03442

"To enable generative agents, we describe an architecture that extends a large language model to store a complete record of the agent's experiences using natural language, synthesize those memories over time into higher-level reflections, and retrieve them dynamically to plan behavior."

Can't wait for LangChain to incorporate a long-term, reflection-based memory system.
Its good app
This is of course a lie. They declare widely used APIs as "internal interface" and break backwards compatibility on a regular basis even on sub minor version updates.
The trend toward smaller, nimbler start ups is evident. Even before the cheap money dried up there were clear signs that the core of start up success wasn't centered about MBAs or capital. Sure you can over shout competitors and grow at lightspeed given infinite cash, but a well designed piece of software needs craftsmanship and a bit of luck.

But it's also worrying that a modest bunch of engineers can launch billion dollar companies. How might this affect distribution of wealth, power, labour, private versus public sectors? What about governance of these companies?

(I'm not saying start ups have a duty to employ MBAs, hundreds of mediocre employees or accept venture cash they don't need. But I do worry.)
omg, amazing!
Bard isn't bad objectivly it's just like GTP a year ago and we will see it improve quickly. It has more potential if it can work with the siloed tech and knowledge stores to be great. But it's a big if and might be too much for the org to handle.

Remember Google still has all the world's books digitised. Maybe the copyright laws that prevent them using it normally will allow it's use in a LLM? Just like every other model uses copyrighted works.
I use a ZSA Moonlander with Colemak-DH layout. The interesting thing I have noted from the tough journey of learning Colemak-DH is that my Qwerty actually got better. So while it may be odd switching from one format to another initially, like being duolingual, you can actually switch it quite easily with time. There's no reason why you would be unproductive on the long run.
I guess I was trying to add context to where I'm coming from. I obviously haven't lived that person's life, I'm just someone responding on hn. Hence the musician bit, too. Emotions are extra hard via this medium so I was shooting from the hip.
My comment is regarding whether ideas fall in the same category as physical goods. Ideas are fundamentally different, in that they're non-scarce unless we make them scarce via intellectual property laws. And I question whether those laws really promote human flourishing, or whether they simply protect whoever is close to the government.

Regarding China, copying without attribution should be prosecuted as a form of reputational or brand fraud, as it fails to give credit to others for the idea. And sure, under existing intellectual property laws many Chinese firms ought to be prosecuted and held accountable---I don't advocate breaking existing laws.

I simply think that the laws out to be brought into better alignment with reality, and ideas simply aren't scarce (at least in how economics considers scarcity).
The Linux Kernel Preparing for an Upgrade to Its Rust Toolchain
I used to love this kind of stuff on the Amiga. My Dad would take me to computer fairs where there'd be random floppy disks being sold, sometimes with programs or games or even cheats and cracks on them.
Space is big. 1) The cable's vibration resonance can be adjusted to avoid the bulk of larger objects, 2) new satellites can be mandated to have emergency maneuver systems (with larger objects not yet de-orbited cleared out by an elevator consortium), and 3) the cable will necessarily have close range defense systems probably at intervals for smaller objects that might be harder to detect at long range. The cable, also, is enormous, which is the largest barrier to its implementation - it would dwarf every other artifact in human history, put together - and can not be made with any material we can currently create at scale. Compared with that, orbital TCAS of some sort is fairly trivial. In the long term, a space elevator is inevitable, but it's inevitable in the same way that . . I dunno, human-crocodile hybrids are, or fusion drive, or the way a lot of other medium-term future stuff is.

EDIT Also, this thing stops at the Karman line. That's not a viable space elevator. Pretty widget, though.
Sadly, Firefox has abysmal support for PWAs on both mobile and desktop. I love Mozilla and Firefox -- and I still use it as my primary development browser -- but at this point Firefox is functionally worse than Chrome, Edge, and Safari on most axes.
