That's the same argument used against solar, that it is too inefficient. It's also greatly exaggerated, another thing it has in common with solar. Fuel cell systems are electrochemical systems and can be easily improved beyond that level. Especially with large facilities where waste heat can be recaptured and reused.
I can offer my perspective as someone who would probably be considered a "defender of the Fed" (definitely not government policy as a whole, though).

Pouring helicopter money down is going to increase inflation, hands-down. Giving it to more people will increase inflation more than giving it to fewer people (since the competition for scarce goods will be more widely distributed), but it's just as bad giving helicopter money to the rich.

Helicopter money is largely fiscal policy (i.e. how do we spend our money) instead of monetary policy (i.e. how much money should there be, and how should it flow).

I'll not defend fiscal policy, as I find that Congress often just tries to buy votes with money (the right with tax-cuts, the left with loan-forgiveness or entitlements).

In terms of monetary policy, though, the Fed's responsibilities are to make the employment market and inflation stay at good levels. Manipulating the interest rate of bank lending does do that (albeit not nearly as much as it could if coupled with good fiscal policy).

Raising the interest rate does reduce inflation, since there are fewer free-floating dollars to compete for good. It also does make the job market less hot, since there are fewer free-floating dollars to invest in businesses or employees.

There's some deep hypocrisy in fiscal policy, but I think the Fed is doing what the Fed can do to keep jobs and inflation in balance.

There are no UFOs in the sense of alien or off-world intelligence. UFOs are created by humans to describe things they can't identify in the moment.

The Joe Rogan Experience video is such speculation that I cannot take any of it as fact. He jumps around in speculative ideas, descriptions and theories. Using titles or rank as a means of factual integrity is thin. It's still hearsay.

People want to believe, but the fact remains there is zero undisputed evidence for off-world UFOs.
It's probably an eye thing. I looked at higher resolution Macs carefully and I honestly cannot see the difference (despite not having known eyesight issues). I'm sure if I'd train my eyes enough I might end up seeing the difference, but I don't really see why I would want to train my eyes on that and then having to complain my whole life about standard screens not being good enough.
That was my first thought as well. I need try to and read the Silmarillion again, I could never quite get through it years ago.
Replying to edit: technically there’s no difference and this technicality doesn’t matter one bit. You’re being told the answer and fail to see it.
The folks behind https://fortran-lang.org have been working on many of these issues.
I've known a few Navy pilots. I absolutely defer to them in all questions regarding keeping a plane in the air, getting it safely on and off the ground, and denying those capabilities to others. On questions of what a weird thing they saw in the sky might be, I give their knowledge just about as much weight as anyone who sees a weird thing in the sky.

The first thing we teach pilots is that they have to get comfortable with the fact that their eyes play tricks on them in flight. Our visual perception wasn't tuned for high speeds, high altitudes, and truly three-dimensional relationship assessment, and they're as prone to misinterpretation of things they didn't train on as everyone else is. If they say "That blob is a fighter-jet near the horizon's edge," I believe them; but if they say "I think that blob is a space alien," I don't because nobody knows what a space alien looks like (and "That doesn't look like anything I know" still doesn't imply "space alien").
They used to do that because DVD sales was the long tail of money that made mid-price movies worthwhile. Even if movies didn't turn a profit during the first run, they did it with DVD sales 6 months later.

Adding commentaries and bonus materials made even more people buy the DVD - even if they already watched the movie in the theatre -> more money.

If that was an ask for a specific example, one of the most common uses for FPGAs is DSPs. Say you have a simple FIR filter of, say, 63 taps. To do this in a CPU requires you to load two values and do a multiply/accumulate for each tap in sequence. Very (!!) optimistically, that’s about 192 instructions. With an FPGA, you can do all the multiplications in parallel and then just sum the outputs - probably done in 2 cycles and with pipelining your throughput could be a sample every clock.

If the FPGA is too slow, too power inefficient etc you can (if you have the money!) take the same core design and put it in an ASIC. The FPGA provides an excellent prototyping environment; in this example you can tune the filter parameters before committing to a full ASIC.

I don't actually think either term is more precise than the other when we're talking about LLMs, which aren't human brains. It doesn't have either memory or perception in a way that we do.

I really like Arc for a few of the reasons mentioned in the article:

- It does the best job at managing multiple profiles that I've seen. You can have a single profile apply to multiple "spaces" or just one profile per space, whatever you want. Makes it really easy to swap back and forth between personal and work.

- The "Peek" functionality when previewing links to tweets or viewing media from Discord is really nicely done and saves your tab list from becoming polluted with temporary browsing

- The pinned tabs functionality has a great little feature that easily lets you reset back to the original page you pinned the tab for. I have a HN pinned tab that I use to browse to comments sections like this one, but if I hover over the favicon, it shows that clicking it will take me "back to pinned tab" or in my case, the HN front page. Really nice hidden functionality.
According to Tiobe, Fortran is the 20th most popular language. Clojure is in the "next 50 languages" section – that is, somewhere between 51 and 100 in popularity.

As a Clojure lover, this hurts.

> The only real argument is that people don't know how to share them

Aside from copy-pasting, I was thinking QR codes would be good too. Although, Discord already uses QR codes to log users in on other devices. Maybe they were afraid it would confuse users and create new scams.

I still think between copy-pasting and QR codes, sharing complex strings (like emails, urls, usernames) is a solved problem.
The primary argument against helicopter money is that it greatly accelerates the rate at which inflation manifests in the economy due to the increasing monetary supply, which causes more extreme disruption (the economy doesn't have time to adjust gradually).

If the inflation manifests slowly enough, the theory is that slower inflation combined with productivity growth can mitigate the major adverse effects and dislocations by allowing the economy to adjust at a much slower rate.
If I'm not mistaken, this would have been toward the end of the 90s. These were Xtreme times.

Super Soakers, Jolt Cola, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Sonic the Hedgehog, the FBI would come after you for reproducing copyrighted films (according to the warning at the start of the film). Definitely seems like an era in which something would be named DirectX.
I agree, raising taxes would definitely help AND would help the US govt with their currently fiscally idiotic ways.

Unfortunately, that would imply Congress has their act together. Since they currently can't even manage to keep from defaulting the US govt on their current debt, I'm not hopeful they will stop being fiscal idiots anytime soon. I mean this to imply both political parties are fiscal idiots as far as I can tell.
The current implementation is so that you can `<script type="importmap" src="path/to/your/importmap.json"></script>`. JSON is a well-known on-disk data format with lots of tools that support working with it and manipulating it (including plenty JS itself including natively in the browser).

You can even `<script type="importmap" src="https://your.fave.cdn.example.org/shared-importmap.json"></s...` and share an importmap across multiple applications/projects.

Fixed my sentence. I meant it as in, the internal username ID being derived the same way public keys are derived from seed phrases.

> What changed between 2021 and 2023 that gave them this power?

I think it's fairly evident that the rule of law and corporate oversight in the US was greatly weakened from 2016-2020, and at the start of 2021 an event some argue was essentially a failed coup occurred, yet the only punishments were issued to commoners and none of the instigators or would-be beneficiaries. Why would corporations not be emboldened at such a sight?

I agree otherwise with what you've said, and indeed I am not nearly qualified enough to propose the vehicles to change economic outcomes - but it's clear that the narratives denying corporate profiteering's role in inflation are outdated.

AMD to consider coreboot/Libreboot support for Ryzen [1]

How is it that this site hasn't succumbed to the HN Hug of Death, yet text-only pages linked on the HN front page often seem to easily collapse under a lot of traffic?
Ongoing discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35805757
This goes into more detail: https://developers.google.com/identity/passkeys

As far as I can tell: it's a system of private keys stored on devices, in order to transmit a key you also need to unlock a device (e.g. phone) with some other method like a PIN or fingerprint/face scan. Combine those two things and it means a would-be hacker would need both the physical device as well as the local authentication for that device (PIN or biometrics).
Doesn't that signal that there was an imbalance in the market though? E.g. wages and benefits went up (theoretically) in response to demand in the market.
Not THAT kind of game!
The problem is people taking "No lock means it's insecure and untrustworthy" and interpreting it as "No lock makes it untrustworthy, so clearly a lock makes is trustworthy."

Not helped by the worrying amount of security "education" that explicitly states that the lock icon is a symbol of trustworthiness.

Ultimately this is obvious to technical people: The lock describes the transport layer, and says nothing about the content. But because public technical understanding is so poor, we get the aforementioned misconception.

IMO the change is a good one. HTTPS should be seen as the default, with warnings for HTTP.

(Though it shouldn't go further - in my opinion HTTP should still be accessible without the kind of security warnings you get for invalid certs etc)
But do they pollinate through their roots? because - then a whole realm of hydroponic polination for anything that can be pollinated through a root, would be really interesting.

Wasabi, still uses flowering insect polination in the wild, but is farmed via vegatative cloning.

Seaweed is really interesting, male and female plants release cells that fuse to create the zygote

---

Thanks for the min rabbit hole by posting this to HN

----

Sexual reproduction in seaweed typically involves the production of male and female gametes, which are released into the water column. The gametes then fuse to form zygotes, which develop into a new seaweed plant.

Asexual reproduction in seaweed involves the fragmentation of the plant, where pieces of the seaweed break off and develop into new individuals.

In commercial seaweed farming, propagation is typically done through vegetative propagation or by seeding. Vegetative propagation involves taking cuttings from mature seaweed plants and growing them in a suitable environment until they form new plants. Seeding involves the placement of young spores or young plants onto lines or ropes, which are then suspended in the water and allowed to grow.

I'm looking forward to such glory days. Right now, however, none of the solutions available are ones that I could live with if I had to use them for everything. For one or two very sensitive things, sure, but for everything? It's less of a pain to use long, random passwords.
Users pay a subtle price for the perceived convenience of passkeys when it's time to migrate to another platform.

Before, you could just sign in to your password manager on the new platform, and get a 2FA prompt the first time you sign in to any particular site (so you're manually entering one additional factor per site). With passkeys, you have to do account recovery, so you have to manually provide two factors per site. That translates to hours of cumulative extra work.

It's an opportunity to increase platform stickiness, backed by a flimsy security excuse. Nobody using a password manager is getting their accounts hacked unless the vendor is breached or they have malware on their system. Passkeys don't help in either scenario. And the UX isn't materially better than the built-in password manager, though I guess that's a matter of opinion.

In the long-term you're correct, society will rebalance itself and will make better use of the available brain power. In the short-term some jobs in the industries will just disappear and those people will not find another right away in the same industry.

It's specially hard on entry level jobs: a beginner designer would come up with a few designs and a more experienced designer would shoot some down and approve others, thus helping the beginner learn and improve. The company needed the beginner to do the leg work that would be too expensive to pay the experience designer to do. Now the experienced designer does not need the beginner at all, just the AI as they already know what is a good design, and for actually zero cost.

The beginner designer in this example will not be able to find another job in the industry, because they do not yet possess any skill that is valuable, and will never acquire the experience necessary for those skills. Maybe they'll transition to a different industry, but that will take some amount of time and for that time they may be unemployed.

Thank you for making this. I'm a good programmer, but was awful at math in high school and college.

(I wrote ALiBi)
You can read the paper here https://arxiv.org/abs/2108.12409

While intuitively it does seem like ALiBi would make it hard for the model to attend to things that are far away, in many scenarios we've tested with different models trained on different datasets, ALiBi always performs better than sinusoidal, rotary, and other embedding types, even when we're not using it to extrapolate to longer sequence lengths.

These findings have been confirmed by others, including by the BLOOM open source LM project.

Without more context about what the code actually does this doesn't tell me all that much, other than what I could guess from the intended usecases of the chips.

The strength of Apple silicon is that it can crush benchmarks and transfer that power very well to real world concurrent workloads too e.g. is this basically just measuring the L1 latency? If not are the compilers generating the right instructions etc. (One would assume they are but I have had issues with getting good arm codegen previously, only to find that the compiler couldn't work out what ISA to target other than a conservative guess)
I like the term "confabulation". A hallucination is an artifact of an intoxicated or malfunctioning brain. In my experience, confabulation is a common occurrence in normal brains, and can occur without intention. It's why humans make such poor witnesses. It's how the brain fills in the blanks in its senses and experience.
My first reaction was, "why is replit building LLMs," but I guess it fits their needs to have one optimized for their use. But I wonder, is this the beginning of another wave of "every company is an AI company?" Are we going to see a spike in tech hiring around AI/LLM, money starting to flow again, etc? And how many years until it all blows up and the layoffs start?
