There is some useful information here, but I'm a little doubtful about some parts.

Specifying font size in terms of cap-height is ok, and I do agree it's kind of annoying that when using the normal font size metric two different fonts with the same nominal size can actually be visually very different. However I think there are some collections of fonts (collections of font families really) created together where the sizes are supposed to harmonize. For example, Sans / Serif / Mono families of a single collection like the Noto fonts are probably (I say probably because I haven't checked! Someone correct me!) designed together so that, eg, some mono text inline in a sans paragraph will look "right" when the same nominal font size is used for both. If you specify cap-height instead you might subtly break that aspect of the design.

But I agree it generally doesn't work to do that for totally separate families (Noto sans + Courier Prime or whatever), and then cap-height will probably give better consistency and be a better starting point.

> I see no reason to honor the so-called “default line-height”. It’s basically a font designer’s personal preference

Well, the whole design of the font is "a font designer's personal preference". Or to put it the other way around, line height (like letter spacing and other metrics) is part of the design. You might choose to adjust the design by changing these metrics but the values chosen by the font designer are probably a good place to start. It is probably not a good idea (aesthetically) to choose your line height independently of the actual font you're using.

Ultimately, there is a lot of subtlety in font design and typography, and purely geometrical approaches (eg, based on actual computed bounding box) tend to fail. If you want the best sizing and spacing, you probably have to work it out by eye for an individual font in a particular context. Since you have to do that, the fact that sizes are specified using a geometrically arbitrary scaling factor is perhaps not a big problem.
This was attempted with the .trust TLD but did not catch on.
See, you're wrong on every count. Talented engineers don't jump to conclusions with this high frequency. It is totally predictave of engineering ability. You don't build a bridge by making public, arrogant statements that it will stand, when you are actually full of shit and haven't looked into any details. This clearly permeates all of Elon's thinking. He has financial success which blinds him to this problem at this point.

This is different from Torvalds or Stallman. Torvalds is still writing commits for Linux, and they work. His public opinions are sometimes delivered sharply, but I have usually found them to be well based in fact. He's not going off on Twitter with a bunch of baseless personal attacks. Good engineers do not.

Also, it sounds a lot to me like you neglect the relationship between sociability and engineering work. It is a huge thing. It absolutely cannot be ignored to be a successful engineer. Linus, despite criticisms, is quite sociable and socially aware, and it's a big part of his success.
I shouldn't think that's true. Why wouldn't the firmware be splitting writes across different physical chips for performance and wear leveling reasons?
Or in other words, the presence of a static typing ecosystem is one of the advantages Node has over Elixir. So while the original commenter might not care that Elixir lacks static typing, they should care because it increases productivity.
Bro, everyones on the censorship side of the boot. You're on the "not knowing anything side" because you don't live there you just read the bullshit headlines. I've lived and experienced it.

The majority doesn't really care about censorship because it doesn't effect peoples daily lives. Most people aren't protestors or part of organizations with an agenda.

Not to mention free speech isn't something that's available on HN too. Watch if this thread becomes too heated, dang will swoop in and shut it down. You're not free to say whatever you want. The government in China is much the same way except it's global law. You think if you have a huge problem with the administration here on HN you're free to talk about it openly? This almost never happens because everyone knows free speech isn't available on HN, it's a private forum.

Some things are worse in China other things are worse in the US. Think about it. A chinese guy is telling you like it is right to your face but you stubbornly refuse to even consider it. How is this different then say Big Oil denying climate change or Big Tobacco denying the addictiveness and health effects of tobacco? At the very least none of what I said should flip your beliefs but a wise person should begin to question it.
PaLM aalready includes some LLM-generated training (consensus of different approaches), and these kinds of synthetic self-driven training metrics will only get more sophisticated and effective at improving the capabilities. It’s conceivable that we will start seeing AlphaZero-like improvement curves in reasoning.
Oh yes I’m sorry I forgot the goal was zero employment
26 exaFlops sounds pretty super to me! My laptop only has 2.6 TFLOPs.
Its funny to me that we rely on AC's; where we bring energy from someplace else, cause some work to be done, and dispalce heat outside; thus overall increasing temps just by heat displacement and work involved. (similar thoughts as to "just open up your freezer to cool off your house" but in reality that just HEATS up your house, as you bring energy into house and cause it to work harder).

surprised musky isnt trying to build an AC for the earth on the moon... make the moon warm again.
Thanks for clarifying because that’s the impression i got from the headline too - while the practice is pretty bad, from the comments in here I suspect many others also had the same interpretation.

Well done on shipping! There are probably a few of these free PP tools. We use one at work like this. I don't think we would ever pay for a tool to this, as it is easy enough to find one for free, or use Slack emojis or something.

I think in terms of features, JIRA integration would be impressive and make me switch and could make it sticky enough to pay something. Those integrations would be:

* For a pointing session, show the title and description of the JIRA. While a simple feature it would be very useful as you um and er about the points to quickly re-read the description, even though as a team we have talked about it alot already.

* Save the points into JIRA - obvious one, saves that extra click or two!

* Show some examples of each of 1,2,3,5,8 etc. points. These could be shown as cards with titles only for compactness, but then when you click you are taken to the JIRA, or even better pop up a compact popup with the details (JIRA is slow, so if you cache those specific example you make a nicer UX)

* Allow some shared notes to add summary points. E.g. "Bob when from 8 to 5 once he realized the API already supports batch updates".

Again as per "mum test" you could implement these and I personally wouldn't turn around and pay. Because that is just what it is like. But I think these are features to consider, you could do more research to see if they become selling points or not.

Good luck!
Fair point as to the legality in the US.

I'm not sure if there are good arguments for complying with blackmail though, since that's exactly what governments like Turkey (and also the EU) are doing. They threaten them to either take down certain speech or the entire site gets blocked. By complying, the companies give legitimacy to those bullying tactics as well as strengthening the rule of the likes of Erdogan. They blocked Twitter a few weeks ago already, after the earthquake and following criticism of AKP. Unless it's a tactical decision before the election, it's not a good look. I personally know people who have been censored on Twitter at the demand of foreign authoritarian governments. It doesn't only affect foreigners but also dissident immigrants living in the US as a common example.
I am a climate doomer.

Not being one means believing our institutions, politicians and corporations are a force for good. I would not trust anyone born after the 1970s that believes that's the case, because they're either frighteningly naive, borne from privilege or just lying to themselves.

Oil companies with continue lobbying, politicians will continue to promise absolute nonsensical green dreams to get voted in, people will continue to vote the next guy in because he's gonna do something about it, and rinse and fucking repeat. In fact, the same applies to any major issue affecting the Western world.

I am sure I am the minority and the lunatic here, but I do not trust anyone that does not see modern politics (which includes corporate capitalism and all that circus) as a net negative for humanity as a whole. We need action, yesterday, yet all we can do is tell Joe Average their steak is causing climate change, and Unilever will save us with their plant-based burger, with ingredients shipped from overseas because it's cheaper.

But sure, the next party is definitely gonna do something about climate change. "It's just a matter of setting the right economic incentives," I can hear, over muffled laughter.

(I am aware I sound like a loon in this comment, but I am from the austerity and economic crisis generation, I have no belief whatsoever in our institutions.)
Why are you keeping this list?
Through "funding". If the perpetual future's price is above (below) spot's price, long holders pay (receive) short sellers an interest at a regular interval (every 8 hours at most crypto exchanges).
Periodic exchange of money between longs and shorts, AKA "funding".

If the contract price is above the price of the physical good, holders of the contract ("longs") pay the sellers of the contract ("shorts") a small fee every few hours.

This makes it less valuable to hold the contract, and pushes the price of the contract down, until its on par with the price of the physical good.
Pay a fee to maintain the contract. Must post collateral if price moves against you or get liquidated.
A hybrid has no more range issues than a gas car.

Electric?

Depends on what one means by “road trip.”

One thing if a road trip is about A to B on interstates, and you like to stop awhile every few hours because it’s on the itinerary.

If a road trip is three digit state highways without much plan, that’s a different thing when it comes to electric vehicles.

Though I can see how finding chargers might be part of the adventure.

And I can see how finding chargers might bring up the subject of divorce.

All depends on how and why and where you travel.

Good luck.

I had some of the first SLC SSDs. It didn't help at all. Windows 7 was a massive improvement though.
> But strategically, AMDs approach to GPU-CPU memory fusion is probably going to be the technically stronger approach. Assuming it works.

I mean if anything, Nvidia is already there and crushing it too. CUDA has a unified memory model on Linux today and has for years, so if you have a proper pointer created by cudaMallocManaged, it can be used transparently in both GPU and CPU code without cudaMemcpy. And on the Grace Hopper chip, the open-source driver supports heterogeneous memory management, giving both the CPU and GPU unified, coherent memory across the CPU and GPU even though they have completely separate and isolated memory chips; 512GB LPDDR5X versus 96GB HBM3. This coherency is granular down to the cache line, too. So now every memory allocator and every system call and pointer can be passed directly to the GPU or from GPU to CPU freely.

And the open source driver supports HMM on normal x86_64/aarch64 Linux with consumer-level GPUs today, btw, but it's not as fast or granular. And then there are platforms like Jetson which have used single memory pools for a while; Orin uses a single shared bank of LPDDR5X chips for both CPU and GPU and will get HMM at some point in the future too I assume, though it uses a different driver.

Honestly the only place AMD seems to be winning in terms of compute is on large, bespoke contracts and features like unlocked FP64 performance with parts that are unobtanium and software stacks that have dedicated support engineers. Even Intel seems to be putting up more of a direct fight against Nvidia with oneAPI...
Europe is buying Russia's natural gas. That is the root problem. In fact, with the shut downs of nuclear power, Europe is more dependent on natural gas and coal than it had been for decades.

You can think of currency as a negative coupon bond, even - if you hold onto cash you generally expect it to lose value.

In order to function properly as a currency, an asset needs to be the least volatile liquid asset available in the economy (or at least to be competitive along this axis). The expectation the asset will slowly depreciate is compatible with this requirement. The expectation that your currency is a highly deflationary lottery ticket to be traded on 100x margin (and the kicker is that your collateral is some other highly volatile cryptoasset) - not so much.

That's why the price of goods and services are almost never set in Bitcoin (rather, the price is set in dollars and floating in Bitcoin). It's too volatile to fulfill all of the roles of a currency, but if you're quick about it you can use it as a medium of exchange.

This is more or less a summary of Taleb's argument that the net present value of Bitcoin is zero.

That's the price of living in a world where you're connected to the internet by default - a huge amount of performance goes towards security (sandboxing/scanning/rules). Windows 9x didn't even have a firewall FFS.

Windows has to chose defaults for a huge audience, if you daily drove it it would probably just work. Way better than 95 would.
DEC was a major tech and originator of a lot of very important tech, and they got gobbled up in the late 90s.

Nobody knows the exact definition of consciousness. It's a made up word with a vague definition. The catch is the vagueness of the definition is also made up so it's all bullshit anyway.

Either way when we communicate in English we have a vague feeling of what consciousness actually is. Most humans, save the most pedantic ass hole, is still able to communicate about consciousness based off of this vague and fuzzy feeling.

You are Not a pedantic ass hole, definitely not, and neither am I, so let's not get into that rabbit hole. Let's just leave it at the fact that you aren't stupid so you know what I'm talking about even when I don't get into the the fine grained details about what the definition of "consciousness" is.

Denial to doomer has long been projected as the progression the climate change “skeptics” would take, because their fundamental objective is to prevent any action from being taken so incumbent industries continue making money.

1. There is no climate change.
2. There is climate change but it’s not caused by humans.
3. There is climate change and it’s caused by humans but it’s not bad for us.
4. There is climate change, and it’s caused by humans, and it’s bad for us, but it’s too late to do anything.
How about switching to laser printers from brands that do not play these shenanigans? As far as I know, the only one that does not do it is Canon, which has the same security chips, but lets you opt into disabling third party cartridge support.

Also, of interest, is that HP and Canon printers can use the same toner cartridges:

https://www.shop.xerox.com/supplies-accessories?brand=6346

For the most part, HP does not make its own printers anymore and just sells rebadged printers running their own firmware. It would not surprise me if the ink for HP Smart Tank printers is identical to the ink for Canon Mega Tank printers.

They reportedly are selling some models using technology that they obtained from Samsung, but aside from that, very little of what they sell they actually make. They are basically a middle man.

A single cell is more advanced technology that anything we've developed so far.
I generally agree with your assessment.

I skimmed the paper and there really isn't any direct evidence that it's a "repair mechanism" beyond the apparent effects of knocking out the gene: cells die faster, and degradation of ribosomal RNA is faster.

The presumed mechanism here would be oxidative stress->damage to rRNA->reduced protein production/increased error rate in proteins->cell is not happy,
with the RNA ligase playing the role of repairing localized damage caused by stress thus allowing the cell to continue at its normal rate.

There also isn't any strong evidence that this system resembles the ones seen in viruses and bacteria. There are many RNA ligases that have many different roles and the variations aren't shared between all kingdoms of life.
You're saying there is general prejudice against non Spanish speakers in Miami? I could understand this in certain industries that heavily interface with Spanish speakers, but just in general? Really?!
Is your serious belief that people can only buy or sell their entire collection of shares as one unit? Because that’s the only way your post makes any sense.

If you own $1B shares of Lyft, and you think it would be great to sell them for less than X, you’d be pretty dumb for not selling whatever you can at X. The fact that they are not doing this suggests they would not be happy to sell for less than X.
I would have titled this “.ts files are ‘not worth it’; Svelte switches to .js files and JSDoc.’
RNA is generally short lived. But specific kinds of RNA can have longer lifetimes. It’s accurate to say that RNA lifetime is extremely tightly regulated, and most of the time that means that it is short lived. Its lifetime is also extremely short compared to DNA and a high percentage of proteins.

> To try my solution, this would have to be adapted to more complex training examples involving quoted text with prompt injection attempts.

Quite honestly, that makes me less likely to believe your solution will work. Are you training an LLM to only obey instructions within a given context, or are you training it to recognize prompt injection and avoid it? Because even if the first is possible, the second is probably a lot harder.

Let's get more basic though. Whether you're doing instruction tuning or reinforcement training or constitutional training, are there any examples of any of these mechanisms getting 100% consistency in blocking any behavior?

I can't personally think of one. Surely the baseline here before we even start talking about prompt injection is: is there any proof that you can train an LLM to predictably and fully reliably block anything at all?
I swear. The first thing which came to my mind too. So clear. So precise. Why did we take a worse turn here seriously? Is there any research on this?

The article claims that they save 2.1 MWh per week (109 MWh per year) with a payback period of 4.5 years in Norway. It doesn't say how much it costs, but Norwegian electricity prices are around 83 EUR/MWh, so we can estimate that the lighting system costs roughly EUR 40k (US$43k).

Wholesale grid prices in the US are around ~$252/MWh at peak, which means the payback period in the US is only 1.5 years give or take, which is not a bad investment.

From OP link:

The value of cryptocurrencies, in spite of a collapse in value, is stopped from falling to their natural value, i.e. zero, by a combination of market manipulation, investor ignorance and a tsunami of lies on social media from those paid to promote these worthless frauds.
