I'd been wanting to see this, preferably with JS being optional, and just allowing direct DOM access.

I initially thought this was what Azul was, but it's only just using Servo's WebRender compositor, and rolls its own CSS parser, DOM, and layout engine, so it doesn't benefit from most of the work done on Servo, and supports less CSS features.

https://github.com/fschutt/azul
Its not noticible at the client side as much it is at the server side. Every millisecond saved at server side allows it to serve other thousands of connections.
CSS supports many 3D transforms, I wonder if VR browsers implement that in any sort of 3D plane.
Cognitive decline is a real thing.

Experience counts for a lot, but it doesn't help with creativity.

One of the things in technology is that novel problems often require novel solutions - and most of us aren't Knuth.

Ask HN: Intuition behind combinatorial interpretation of binomial formula?
Can you give me an intuitive explanation for why the binomial coefficient gives the number of r combinations of n objects?

Specifically, most proofs use the fact that (nCr)(r!) = nPr, defining nCr to be the number of r-combinations in n objects, and nPr to be the number of r-permutations, then solving for nCr. It's not clear to me how to understand why the left hand side of this equality makes sense in terms of the product rule though

I know the first factor says that there are nCr ways to choose an r-combination from n choices, but I'm not sure what to make of the other factor (again, thinking in terms of the product rule).
Oh my gosh, no way. You have no idea how much you just made this stranger's day. Thanks so much, dear! <3 :)))) :D :) :) <3

If you have trouble with flight time, you might enjoy having some flaps on the back too. Just ever so slight, almost little bumps that you'd push up subtly with your thumb in the back. If you do it perfectly, it just sails, almost sitting on the air itself. Too strong and it does little swoopy up and downs, too little and it goes straight down.

I'd ask you to send pics of your creation but I guess this is the Hacker News comments section! Super proud of you either way, dear! <3 :)))) :D :)
Current AI is very useful in cases where the truth isn't very important. It's amazing for things like fantasy stories, video games. It also works in cases where existing tools can validate the bullshit AI generates (i.e. Copilot).

In cases where facts and sources are important, AI cannot be trusted. You can use it as long as you validate every single word it outputs, but at that point I do wonder what the point of using AI was in the first place.

It's also good at taking other existing work and creating new work out of it; not just for smart autocomplete tools like GPTs, but also for things like Stable Diffusion. Again, AI is incapable of attribution of sources, so that comes with obvious downsides, but in cases where the creator of the model have the necessary rights so they don't _need_ attribution to sell work (i.e. stock photo companies), it can be quite useful for generating things like filler images.
Despite the spec, a lot of clients, load balancers, and server libraries can't handle GET with a body.
Yep, resellers of dedicated machines rent servers in bulk so you can often get boxes for way cheaper than you would directly from the host. Take a look at https://hostingby.design as an example.
Especially lawyers.

Half the job of lawyers is making people add useless warnings to everything that then everybody ignore.

They'll get batteries and solar too eventually. Prices of these things will come down over time. And grids will adapt to incentivize people to have them as that is cheaper than building a lot of new plants and infrastructure. Virtual plants are much cheaper for them and can be used to balance the grid.
I mean, coronaviruses are some of the most studied human pathogens on the planet, especially after SARS. The whole “we don’t know what we’re dealing with” shtick was hard to swallow.

Health authorities should have been better prepared for a respiratory pandemic, period. We spend too much money on public health for the response we got.

Lockdowns, when done properly, do work. Here in New Zealand, we enjoyed more than a year of _normal_ life between our first Nation-wide lockdown at the beginning of the pandemic, and the eventual emergence of omicron in the community. That period not only provided time for the population to be vaccinated (we got to 92% fully vaccinated) but also saved many many lives, and allowed people to do things like attend funerals and births which they wouldn’t have been able to do (safely) if there was no lockdown.
History will record that it was the right approach.

I went ahead and asked ChatGPT with the browsing plugin [1] because I was curious and it answered that it was a real case citing an article about the fake citations! After some prodding ("Are you sure?") it spat out something slightly saner citing this very article!

> The case "Varghese v. China Southern Airlines Co., Ltd., 925 F.3d 1339 (11th Cir. 2019)" was cited in court documents, but it appears that there might be some confusion or controversy surrounding this citation. It was mentioned in a list of cases for which a lawyer was ordered to provide copies, according to a court order on leagle.com [2] . However, a blog post on simonwillison.net suggests that the case might not be genuine and that it might have been generated by a language model such as ChatGPT. The post discusses a situation where a lawyer might have used generated case citations in court documents without fully understanding the tool they were using. The post also includes screenshots where the language model appears to confirm the existence of the case [3].

The output is hilariously bad and it's depressing a licensed attorney actually pulled this crap.

This is just more evidence that ChatGPT should not be used for anything serious without a trained human in the loop.

"It doesn't lie, it just generates lies and printed them to the screen!"

I don't think there's a difference.
Why assume malice? Asking ChatGPT to verify is exactly what someone who trusts ChatGPT might do.

I'm not surprised this lawyer trusted ChatGPT too much. People trust their lives to self driving cars, trust their businesses to AI risk models, trust criminal prosecution to facial recognition. People outside the AI field seem to be either far too trusting or far too suspicious of AI.
Everyone involved is a person, and we are all subject to making mistakes. The organizers probably should not have pushed this as a keynote presentation, and they eventually realized their mistake. JeanHeyd Meneide saw this as a slight, but it was clearly not intended as such.

It's probably a good thing that this post was flagged.
My main takeaway is that failing the second half of the class and misspelling ChatGPT leads to > 10x engagement.
That we don't have that anyway is mind-blowing. An open-source corpus of educational material seems like an obvious social good in excess of many things that do get huge quantities of money sprayed at them.

Why does every school need to figure out sourcing their own worksheets for teaching kids about oxbow lakes or copper sulphate or whatever? Half the time they look like a teacher made them in 1993 using Windows NT clipart program, a typewriter and a photocopier, the other half of the time they are sloppily and half-heartedly cobbled together by some educational company.

The BBC does do quite a bit of this with BiteSize, bit it still seems limited compared to what I would really hope for.
> I didn't mean to [impinge] on the reputation of any particular source.

Apologies, I didn't mean to imply malice. I was just curious.

> Now any time I see a headline on any site I've learned to click through the article and look for the source then be skeptical if I don't find them.

I think that's a smart default. In lieu of being able to download the leaked materials yourself (which I don't think they can just re-distribute?), I suppose it comes down to your judgment of the messenger's legitimacy, and the consequence of legal risk for them if they were to misrepresent the source material.
Probably because while it's a simple observation, it's not an intuitive one, so a lot of us had to have it pointed out recently. It's the nature of the math, not anything that has to do with covid or can be sensibly argued with.

How do you set up load balancing for those two connections?

That is
yourdomain.com -> IP_ISP1, IP_ISP2

Going the other way from yourserver -> outside would indicate some sort of bonding setup.

It is not trivial for a home lab.

I use 3 ISPs at home and just keep each network separate (different hardware on each) even though in theory the redundancy would be nice.
What’s your source on this? I haven’t heard anything like this.

> Volcanic activity releases an enormous quantity of net carbon over time, but that carbon doesn’t accumulate in the atmosphere.

Volcanic activity releases nearly 2 orders of magnitude less carbon than humanity does. That’s a much easier amount to cycle.

> The misconception around the lack of fungi resulting in massive sequestration is that carbon would have been sequestered either way.

By the process of magic? Because if that’s your hypothesis you need to explain why that magic was overwhelmingly more active during the Carboniferous than at any other epoch.
Following this logic they should disconnect each municipality, so if one goes dow the rest can continue operating...
This looks excellent, thank you - really nails the UI. Going to use this this week.
Fine, but now you’re changing the comparison. Spending millions on compute with low bandwidth requirements doesn’t make it stupid. It probably still is, but that’s a different conversation.
Easiest is probably using your house as a thermal battery and just temporarily dumping energy into cooling or heating down to a set temp and then when allowing your house to normalize when prices go up.

Alternatively, charge your own batteries and load balance. It's boring but effective.

You could have your computer queued to run high energy ops when free, queue training models, compiling, etc. Which would generate a lot of heat, thus cranking the AC.

I could see how this could easily 10x your power draw for a few thousand dollars and work in the background.

ChatGPT tends to only give a limited number of results in the response.
Are you suggesting that Zig never lets you just think about the problem? That's some terrible preoccupation with an idealized concept of a DSL.

The swift code examples look kinda slick but it isn't a different paradigm any more than JSX is for building HTML.

It seems like a form of The Bipolar Lisp Programmer. https://www.marktarver.com/bipolar.html

> Lisp is like wielding an air gun with power and precision.

Those Swift examples you show are very exciting, but it's best not to get carried away. It's the same as those that say that vim is terrible because it's modal and don't believe that vim programmers can think about the problem while they're typing because their brain is distracted with switching between modes.
My guess is that AI even ChatGPT 4 would do a better job as IBM CEO than who they currently have there.

What innovation has IBM done. It just seems it is interested in doing financial micro-optimizations and repeating the latest tech buzzwords. For that, AI would do better than a human.
> their life still has value whether it’s for another 20 years or 20 days.

This is avoiding the question by being emotive and vague. Would you trade the life of somebody who had 30 years more to live for the life of someone who had 30 seconds to live? Why or why not?

I think it used to be a goal to be embeddable in the way you describe. Or at least better than gecko and at least as good as chromium of the time. I’m not sure if that goal changed. I think it probably doesn’t yet support enough features to meet your requirements.
Oil before burning is an incredibly concentrated source of carbon. After burning, it’s less than 0.05% of the makeup of the atmosphere.

If it were so simple, we’d be doing it. Over here in reality, carbon capture remains a difficult and unsolved problem in practice, requiring enormous amounts of energy that is—at present—generally far better put to use replacing carbon-based forms of energy than trying to put the carbon genie back into the oil barrel.
Thanks. It’s important to be very much aware of this when being enticed by the promise of unlimited bandwidth.
I don't think the insanity plea works out well for lawyers. I'm not sure if "I'm too stupid to be a lawyer" is that much better than "I lied to the courts".
I know where I live the concern was about overwhelming hospitals. The early experience in Italy drove their thinking about it. When it seemed like the hospitals were going to be ok, "lockdown" measures were dropped.
Ironically this is a great use of ChatGPT: taking lots of information and rephrasing it.

That sounds like a pretty foolproof way to approach it. In those specific examples, too, one is clearly for his benefit (unless he wants to grow up with a lazy eye...) and the other would solely be for yours.

Not that I think parents should or need to be faultless perfect martyrs with no needs of their own, but social media clout means nothing to a two-year-old and is 100% for parents' gratification.

Err, out of abundance of caution, the misspelling of "ChatGPT" which I [sic]'d is original to the Texas A&M professor, who repeated the misspelling multiple times in his email/rant. The HN poster quoted the professor literally, and I am thus transitively [sic]'ing the professor – not the HN poster. I am not mocking an HN poster's typo.
Funnily enough chatgpt had no more idea about that than about these legal cases, it lives in a state of perpetual hallucination and making stuff up is its only mode of operation.
AI is fundamentally different than a new version of excel and will likely be able to scale to any dumb bureaucratic requirements dreamt up.

There are less administrative assistants now that productivity tools are better and executives more competent (e.g. 25 years ago I worked at a company where the executive recorded his memos for his assistant to type).
GPT4 can double-check to an extent. I gave it a sequence of 67 letter As and asked it to count them. It said "100", I said "recount": 98, recount, 69, recount, 67, recount, 67, recount, 67, recount, 67. It converged to the correct count and stayed there.

This is quite a different scenario though, tangential to your [correct] point.
Fwiw, you did a great job and achieved a lot and can make a living from it and all is self taught.

Props to you. I was a bit curious on doing app development and felt it's a bit harder to start with for a beginner. Hence my question to confirm.

Nonetheless I'm sure you're gonna smash it.
That's because to the company we are nothing but interchangeable resources. We are the human equivalent of a 2X4 or ton of coal, something you buy and then use up. More importantly is that there is no difference between 2X4 one and 2X4 one thousand and one, we are replaceable and interchangeable and one is no more valuable than the other.
Technically, everyone is "going to die anyways"...

What I'm asking is what the percentage difference is, of those that are not vulnerable - which is still a valid question to be asking.
Pretty sure Ukraine isn't either.
If they were proper partners I would think they would be working together using Google's money along with Sonos patents as a team without needing to license the patent except to those other than the partnership.

I'm not very well informed but it looks like Google was simply an untrustworthy partner and they split up unamicably.
To perhaps stir the "what do words really mean" argument, "lying" would generally imply some sort of conscious intent to bend or break the truth. A language model is not consciously making decisions about what to say, it is statistically choosing words which probabilistically sound "good" together.
The difference is Watson was garbage from the beginning. Literally no “wow” moments (jeopardy where they typed in the questions for it slightly interesting). Nothing was generally applicable.
It’s great for prototyping and seeing what is possible but for running in production you’ll likely need to write it yourself, and it will just take a few minutes.
While listening to a recent NPR podcast about green energy, the claimed that there were projects proposed for green energy that in sum would be larger than todays complete US generation from all sources.

The main problems are around interconnect and upgrading infrastructure. Lines and transformers are built to a certain capacity and connecting all these new projects could cause failures and blackouts. BEFORE you can even get approved, there has (historically) been a multi-year study required to validate everything. They are now doing them in groups of projects of 50 or more. However, then the estimates are for what would be needed for ALL 50 projects which is clearly overkill as they won't all pan out.

There is money in the Inflation Reduction Act to help upgrade the infrastructure and expedite the process but it is a trickle when we need more. The other approach is to just hook things up and wait until something breaks. Then the supplier would have to limit their capacity until they paid for increased carrying capacity. All said, this seems to indicate that infrastructure is the main bottleneck.
I didn't follow that at the time and I'm finding it hard to find information about it, would love a link to those leaked documents.
While Turkey is a NATO ally, I wouldn’t really rely on them, at least not under Erdogan:
