You are saying that they are not directly involved in generating "value" and then saying that bad decisions result in huge losses. That just doesn't compute. And how do you know that laid off people "directly" involved in generating value? E.g. many (most?) recruiters are awesome, but there's not much value to generate when there's no hiring.

If layoffs are the result of bad management, does it mean that there's no good management in tech, since everyone is doing them?
But the idea that the brain functions on a basis of complex statistical processes doesn't imply that statistics created the brain itself, it just suggests that the brain's processes can be modeled/understood through the lens of statistical methods. Statistics is just how we describe a tool we invented to analyze observable data, the brain could be a similar tool and it doesn't need to be the same tool.

It's akin to saying that we created the concept of "physics", yes we created it, and physics govern, for example, how a car moves, but it doesn't mean our concept of physics created the car or physics itself, we just use physics to describe and understand the car's movement.

Maybe statistics can't generate anything, but if you imagine everything we can do as very complex, unimaginable multi-dimensional functions that can generate outputs based on inputs, we can use statistics to find functions that fit any real (ground truth) function in the observable universe.
Question to pros:
Things like constant propagation, loop unrolling, TCO, memory reuse etc., seem simple in theory. Yet why do languages end up depending on LLVM and not implement these algorithms on their own and avoid a monstrous dependency?

Like what exactly is the implementation of the top 20 optimizations? It can’t be that high right..

Oh, I get that. It's just that you also wrote:

> The 5th reply tags a number of republican politicians and was posted by someone whose Twitter tagline is simply "Patriot".

Which is labeled and is not particularly egregious, so that weakens your point.

I don't recall comment sections of popular or political accounts ever being respectful or interesting. But in some cases, the bots that used to plague every popular account's comments do seem preferable to that kind of stuff.
I can't tell from the paper, but are they using maximally precise double-precision libraries? Implementations may have errors much larger than 1ULP for transcendental functions and roots.
> How are these different from the vegetables produced by traditional farming?

Oh, they are very different. As with most modern systems, and noted above, food grown on industrial scales are not optimised for the traditional qualities of nutrition or taste.

This is capitalism: they are optimised for speed of growth, bulk, shelf-life, and whether they tolerate pesticides and herbicides.

The latter is not only to reduce "weeds", but also so they can kill all the plants and harvest the product, rather than let the plant naturally die. They are also grown with enormous fossil-fuel inputs.

Find someone who grows heritage vegetables, preferably organic, and taste the difference.

Most "farms" these days are simply titanic open-air factories.

all i can tell you is he's interviewed experts with deep extensive knowledge of how oil is used. there's one interview with a guy where the guy explains in details how all the parts of oil are used for over 45 min! most of it was over my head. some of his videos do go into great detail about how reknewables can't take the place fully. I think part of it is that wind and solar are too intermitent and that, that greatly limits their applicability.

>> There's no underlying theory of mind here.

> GPT4 have a Theory of Mind

You are misunderstanding ggm. That study is on ToM tasks referring to GPT's analysis and perceived recognition of the user's mind. It says nothing of GPT's own status as a mind. Nowhere in it is an ontological theory of mind actually defined. If you were to refute ggm's claim, you (or preferably the author of the original article) should be presenting your theory of mind, not GPT's.
The study you linked defers to The Death Penalty Information Center’s determination of exoneration.

It’s definition is here: https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/stories/criteria-for-inclusion-...

It includes acquittal or dismissal of charges after the original conviction was tossed. But that does not imply actual innocence. For example, if a key piece of evidence is excluded because of an unconstitutional search that could lead to acquittal or dismissal of charges.

No direct experience, just biology class. This was on the final that I took today :)

Given a fixed amount of sunlight and a fixed time window, you've got W available Joules. Only X makes it into plant biomass. If you're eating a consumer, only Y makes it into animal biomass, and then only Z is available to the human.

In all known cases W > X > Y > Z, generally by factors of 2 to 20. The vegans are going to need X/Y times less farmland to meet their energy needs. Maybe they need a bit more than that to account for the nutritional diversity they require, but I doubt that'll offset it.

The biggest loss is gonna be W, and if you compare crops to grazing land it's pretty clear which one has more sun-facing chlorophyll.
You said he promotes "what amounts to phrenology" and then linked to a tweet where someone calls Musk a white supremacist for commenting "wow" on a post about illegal immigration. That whole chain of justification looks to me like a total non sequitur.
> unpleasant to have an extra week once in a while

> 3 intercalary holidays at the winter solstice, and 2 intercalary holidays at the summer solstice

Isn't the latter an example of the former - ie. a 'extra few days' somewhere?

I'm curious about the winter solstice vs summer solstice there - it sounds like if you're in the 'wrong' hemisphere, these are inverted, yeah? Or do you mean people in Australia would have '3 intercalary holidays' (I guess you mean 3 days) around our summer solstice?

I'd also note that the solstice can be on any of 3 days, typically.

Time is tricky.

That would be a big thing. 8088 assembly language is source-code compatible with 8080 assembly language. I believe IBM was eyeing the ability to run CP/M and derivatives like CP/M-86. IBM/MS DOS is basically a CP/M-like, derived from this:

I find I have to state negations on what I want very emphatically in order for it to pick it up, like I'm carefully explaining to someone how to do something for the very first time in a way where they don't screw it up. I'll use stuff like MAKE SURE YOU DO THIS AND NOT THAT as a prompt, in all caps, and it seems to see that as emphasis.

I might also even have to repeat them in order for it to get things right but generally gpt-4 seems to pick up on these cues. It definitely feels like a sort of point where it could use some improvement because if I'm not extremely explicit it will give me some issues.

As an example: "Can you please recommend me 10 books about witches set in Europe that take place no later than the Napoleonic wars" wasn't enough of an exclusion to work, but "Hi! Can you please recommend me 10 books about witches set in Europe that take place no later than the Napoleonic wars? Please exclude any books that don't take place in Europe, and also exclude any books which take place after The Napoleonic Wars (1803–1815). Thanks, ChatGPT!" was exactly enough to return what we were looking for.

Show HN: Keymate.ai Search plugin for ChatGPT, Let your ChatGPT search the web
On the first day of launch, this plugin was used approximately 2000 times. The r/ChatGPT community responded positively, with the post garnering 1K views and 100% upvotes.
Backstory: The development journey of this Keymate.AI Search for ChatGPT plugin is quite straightforward. I had applied for the Browsing Alpha feature of ChatGPT, but, unfortunately, it was never granted to me. Even after today's launch, all other plus users have the Browsing feature, but I still don't. However, I did have access to ChatGPT Alpha Plugins, so I decided to build my own plugin. I found a solution online that lacked a proficient crawler, so I took the initiative to update it. Initially, I was using the tool solely for personal use, but I wanted to distribute this technology so that others could benefit from it too. The plugin had a restriction of 15 users, which wasn't sufficient, so I developed the /search shortcut in Keymate.AI's iOS Keyboard. Approximately 2K people ended up using it. I had previously shared about ChatGPT GPT4 Google Search powered iOS Keyboard on here.

Finally, the Keymate.AI Search Plugin is open-source.

My vision is to help everyone access the correct information at the highest speed possible. We need better tools to achieve this. I believe that the speed of information access propels civilization forward. Connecting Google Programmatic Search to GPT4 was a natural progression in line with this vision.

The best of both worlds is now at your fingertips, and missing out would be tantamount to standing still while the world races forward.
You'd need to reimplement LLVM code generation and all. These optimizations only work in that part of the compilation process; do it on your own IR and after lowering to LLVM you'll still want to do it again.
This is so delightfully web 1.0
Au contraire.

A vendor has produced a device that does what it does, and is marketed at an optimised price point.

Someone has looked at it and said 'this device should be a different device' and claimed that it's a trivial matter to make it more like a device that they want.

I can't dispute they want a different device, but I can dispute it's a) trivial, and b) sensible, for the vendor to have produced a different device instead.

It's a common trope on HN, where the local demographic's expectations and use cases are often much dissimilar to the general population's. And that's okay, so long as we're aware of it.

> Apple has always chosen form over function

Having used an M1 MacBook Pro and iPad Pro I can't say I agree with you on this.

Apple silicon MacBook Pro's are incredible - powerful, long battery life, fan-less most of the time, they are the breath of fresh air and kick in the butt the laptop/pc industry out of the stale state it was in.

The iPad Pro is an impressive device for digital art and other creative applications, giving Adobe and Wacom a bit of much needed competition.

I know many small business owners who use iPhone due to its stability and ease of use out the box.

Apple have many issues but I feel they have an impressive lineup of computing products of which are very functional.

I know many teachers, and I frequently hear how behavior at schools is the worst they’ve ever seen. It seems like it’s only getting worse.
