There's no one-size-fits-all ergo keyboard, which is why the dactyl has a configurator. You need to make test prints for your hand / finger / thumb size and splay and decide accordingly. Same for the other non-bowl keyboards like corne/lily58/etc, some people just can't use them.

“Godfather of AI” (Geoffrey Hinton) talks impact and potential [video]
My argument is not that it shouldn't make a mistake but that it cannot recognize it's mistake and correct it because it would have. That mathematician I am sure recognize that 57 isn't a prime number if you ask him again.

Also mathematics is not the right field to compare this to because there are rules. In languages and object recognition/synthesis it is all subjective. Understanding here means understanding context and human-subjective interpretation.

When I say "that sunset is beautiful" you understand what I mean, ML models simply approximate based on what they see other humans do or say. I am not calling the sunset beautiful because other people are, it is my own subjective interpretation.

What always gets me is how much these old GUIs got out of a simple black-on-white, 1 bit per pixel, modest resolution display (1024 pixels wide). That was so unimaginably luxurious back then, and it did look good, thanks to careful tweaking at the pixel level.
Usually, each message is encrypted with a new symmetric key that's unique per message and that key is encrypted with the public key of the recipient and included in the envelope of the message. It isn't hard to ask the client to also encrypt the symmetric key to company's own monitoring public keys and include it in the envelope. Presumably this can be done dynamically on-demand (when a govt monitoring request comes in) by the company servers. It is also conceivable that all symmetric keys of past 30 days of messages are stored on the client and can be asked to be sent to server on-demand. If all this functionality ("backdoor") is already baked into the client, and carefully masked to look like legitimate functionality of the app, then there's no need to "compromise" the client afterwards.

We are talking about private, for-profit companies running closed-source service with closed-source client and with TLS-key-pinned client-server RPCs. And we are talking about closed-source phones running closed-source hardware, firmware, OS, and platform services. Even if the app was open-source (like Signal) there are plenty of injection points to do the above at the lower-levels.
Find a hobby like everyone else. People tend gardens, even though they are just inefficiently ran agricultural setups. People play chess even though nearly all of them won't be able to beat the best AI. People will still draw for the enjoyment of the act of drawing. People will still write/type/voice their thoughts onto some medium. People will be with friends and family. Hell, I'd be happy just being left to ruminate with my own thoughts a lot of the time.

Machines can replace our need to produce our material goods and services, but I don't see how they could ever replace our need to express or relate.

When I say understanding I mean the meaning and context around it. It is one thing to know how to respond to different inputs surrounding a context, it is another to undersrand why!

Now, for all the disagreements in this thread I have not seen anyone claim it knows and reasons why things are the way they are, I don't disagree that it knows what to do for different inputs but it is not processing the input and making a reasonable decision more like mapping input with most approximate output. Is thay incorrect of me to say?

If you haven't already, I'd encourage you to check out some of Philip Glass's other soundtracks. One I like in particular is The Illusionist.

There's also a very short video game OST of a game called Splice [0], [1] that coincidentally I'm listening to right now which is very similar to Glass's music. My playcount on each of the tracks is literally over 1000, and my playcount on the first track is over 2000 (getting close to 2500 now) because once I didn't notice I had it on loop(1) rather than loop(all) for several days.

It's the only music I'm able to listen to when I have a mild migraine, although when the headache gets bad I require absolute silence.

Ah, memories... For people who did not have (or have not seen) the full set of O'Reilly's X books, I still remember the whole series, since I had it on the shelf behind me:

0: X Protocol Reference Manual
1: Xlib Programming Manual
2: Xlib Reference Manual
3: X Window System User's Guide
3M: X Window System User's Guide OSF/Motif Edition
3O: OPEN LOOK User's Guide (never published)
4: XToolkit Programming Manual
4M: X Toolkit Programming Manual OSF/Motif Edition
5: XToolkit Reference Manual
6A: Motif Programming Manual
6B: Motif Reference Manual
7A: XView Programming Manual
7B: XView Reference Manual
8: X Window System Administrator's Guide

Some of them had multiple editions ("new, for X11 Release 4"). There was also a separate supplement book for... R6? And a lay-flat book "The X Window System in a Nutshell". Oh, and issues of the X Journal, which slowly generated the letter X on their collective spines. All these covered almost a complete shelf.

Sometimes I'm amazed by the amount of money we were spending to be able to do our work. On the other hand, I definitely used volumes 0, 1, 2, 4, 5, and 8 a lot!

> The people have a relationship with the king, they’ve grown up together and there’s a connection there that’s hard to define. In times of crisis that connection could play a key role.

That relationship really is hard to define... As a Brit my defining memory of the now King was - as an 8 year old - learning of his desire to be a tampon in his then mistress and current Queen.

Monarchy is absurd but it has been particlarly difficult to take him seriously since.

I mostly just feel sorry for him. No-one should have to live their life in the public eye like that.

Nationalise their considerable private wealth (which only exists due to their role) and let them live their lives in peace.

Ireland and Germany both show that we can enjoy the benefits of a ceremonial head of state without having to put up with the nonsense of monarchy.
This would 100% work for techies. I'd put a rule on my router to not allow devices to go here. Woot.

This is bad news on two fronts:

* the risk driver for these ongoing smaller bank failures is (reportedly) the rise in interest rates. This concerns such a basic aspect of bank risk management one wonders how this sector could even call it self banking

* the solution seems to be to create ever larger banking behemoths (on the premise that they they can better manage risks) - as if we don't have enough examples (Lehman, Credit Suisse that this is not so). In fact this aggregation only commingles all sort of risks inside a gigantic opaque pool, makes the private-public dependency (TBTF) and all its perverse incentives even more entrenched, and ultimately creates the conditions for systemic failure

It is all so egregiously non-sensical and sub-optimal. People famously have the political systems that they deserve. In turn this perpetuates the banking systems that they deserve.
Absurd 200-Foot ‘Railway’ Demolished After Court Closes Shipping Loophole
The FDIC killed a bank that was absolutely fine. For the 3rd time in 2 months.

FRB was solvent and had plenty of liquidity if the FDIC didn't force kill it. The FDIC just wanted to flex its muscle because it didn't like the situation — but there was zero reason FRB couldn't have held all its good loans to maturity and been totally fine.

Fuck the FDIC and fuck Jerome Powell for causing all this unnecessary destruction.

Don't do that.

In the limit, when we have brain-computer uploads, people will be all races, genders, furries, dragons, whatever. People of the future will happily change their personas frequently, and they'll look upon history as being full of genetic Luddites.

If people had a pill that made them not-ugly, they'd take it. Or to get a bigger penis, or to be taller, or to be less fat, or have a higher VO2 max. You wouldn't even question it. So why go out of your way to make a point about gender?

There's no reason why any of us should be satisfied with what we were born into. Especially if it doesn't feel right. Boxing people into genetic confines is stifling.

Live and let live.
Nice to update ~/.Xresources with a bit more sane config. I fixed my xterm background and some colors (background, cursor) in addition.

However, it renders much more slower than kitty in this simple test:

timeout 2 find /

Since that is likely a good use case or test for performance, I don't see further use trying to make xterm usable for me. It's a good terminal, but more modern takes are faster and have more features.

Rant: One annoying feature I always disable though are those cursed hyperlinks. Terminals don't need hyperlinks.

It is true that there is a convention not to actually exercise many powers as a King, leaving them to the government. But it wouldn't be an absolute monarchy anyway, in fact it's one of the first examples where the monarch could not do as he wished, and had to call Parliament. So it's a parliamentary monarchy.
On a tangent, they also know the enzyme that causes SIDS and should have a testing program in place soon.
I did a deep dive in seeing how this is even possible, because it shouldn’t be thermodynamically, and it seems like all this “microdroplets allow for seemingly impossible reactions by spontaneously forming peroxide” is actually caused by ozone per some researchers: https://cen.acs.org/research-integrity/reproducibility/Claim...

This seems to be an open debate topic in chemistry. But I think it’s basically the case that, everybody knows it has to be ozone because the energy must be coming from somewhere, but knowing it’s ozone makes the dependent studies like this uninteresting (saying “who knows how we seemingly produced ammonia with little power, maybe this will cure climate change” gets your papers a lot more citations and recognition than “there is enough ozone in the air to produce small quantities of peroxide to use in reactions at STP”). Until it’s conclusively debunked people are gonna landgrab any paper that says “water violates all known laws of thermodynamics when you make it a microdroplet” to further their careers

> but having a hereditary monarch is bananas.

My country has been a kingdom for over a thousand years and has enjoyed unbroken sovereignty for five hundred. The current royal house has reigned for two hundred years, and they can trace back their ancestry to the ancient kings. There's value in that.

The purpose of a head of state is to act as a personification of the state, so what better symbol could you pick? Like it or not, it's an excellent source for national pride. Yes, it's ridiculous blood magic, but the pomp and circumstance and ceremonies of any nation state can be just as ridiculous.

I'll take that over an elected populist divisive asshole any day.
> FRB was solvent and had plenty of liquidity if the FDIC didn't force kill it

This is totally incorrect. Face value and market value are a material difference when one faces a liquidity crunch. First Republic was in a slow death spiral for months, and everyone across its capital structure knew it for at least a week.

> there was zero reason FRB couldn't have held all its good loans to maturity and been totally fine

In this video [1] (NOT describing the paper), the professor is explaining Integrated Ammonia Plants and at 46:40 there is a slide that shows the Theoretical Minimum specific energy requirement at 20.9 GJ/ton Ammonia and the state of the art (since 1991) to be between 24-26 GJ/ton Ammonia (which is an extract from a textbook, Chemical Process Technology, John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [2]).

How does the proposed method in the paper compare in its energy requirements?

Or, of course, if we manage to make infinite energy on earth, we don't even have to shoot anything into space; we can simply stack the earth full with these brainframes and stick it out until the sun starts to fail.

There's definitely more at play than just bad thoughts. Actions result from emotions and expectations that are conditioned by complex patterns of social behavior reinforced by material pressures and legal institutions providing complex feedback to behaviors and all of that is also part of the explanation why memes spread farther and faster in some places, like American schools, than in other places.
The UI for client certificates these days is generally handled by web 3 wallets.

Several countries have CAs available that provide with certificates for citizens and companies. Also, those CAs are usually in your typical trusted CAs kiat.

For example, in Spain, in every national ID you have a certificate available in hardware, accesible via its smartcard chip or NFC. If you don't want (or can) use this specific hardware, you can order for free a software certificate you can download later. This certificates can be used to log in in official sites (or any other site that enables certificate login) and/or to sign documents/files.
Show HN: Bayesian AB-test analysis only needs 4 numbers
Hey (:)

You'd be surprised how many of the (quite talented) data analysts I've worked with don't truly understand the beautiful simplicity of Bayesian AB testing.

When AB testing, most metrics we care about are binomial (i.e., did or didn't happen -> 1 or 0). Think "User clicked login" or "User upgraded to Premium".

This means if you want to build an API for statistically analyzing these experiments all you need as inputs are 4 numbers (per metric):
- Control: Total users, and users who "did"
- Variant: Total users and users who "did"

Then you can reconstruct the "observation array" on the other side of the API, statistically compare your control to your variant, and send the results back!

Right now, if you have a way to pull those 4 numbers from Amplitude, or your database, you can run a Bayesian analysis using the analyzer i built.

Have fun!

Populist take aside, this is somewhat true. In Italy there has been talk of electing the president directly, but I think that would be a terrible choice. Currently, he is elected by parliament, and this (surprisingly) has worked mostly well. The president ends up being an older well respected politician who takes a neutral role. If they were elected by a public election, there's no way you could have a neutral figure.
I spend months collecting the dataset to create a wordlist. And I also spend 100+ hours just judging squares and words. And eventually also training char-level LLM's to do that job for me. In Dutch you can compound and there is quite an active morphology so it can be really tricky to judge whether a given word is any good.

Since I worked on it on and off, and also did a bunch other related things I'm not sure, but I would be surprised if I spend any less than 1000+ hours on these silly word-games.
As someone who plays exclusively on Lichess I find the chess.com bashing, particularly here on HN, a bit short-sighted, in the sense that it's focussed on who provides the better (free) online service to play chess.

If your goal, however, is to popularise the game of chess, i.e. to get more people to play chess, a free online service is only a necessary condition. Chess.com seems to be able to sponsor and organise tournaments, pay content creators/chess players, offer live streams with professional commentators, etc. But also take legal responsibility and stand up to lawsuits.

Interested to hear your thoughts on this. I don't see Lichess being able to provide this type of value, and I'm not sure if they want to or should.
