Writing is part of the creative process.

Writing it down helps to solidify an idea into the heap from the stack, maybe even take it from hot storage to cold storage. It allows you to jot it down while it is still fresh and offload it to focus on it later. This is super helpful in ideas, jokes, thought streams, todos, one pagers on some projects, etc. It does help you remember but also allows you to move to the next thing for now.

Writing down ideas is like a sketchbook, ideas/actions/iteration of thoughts both good and bad. It is important to write thoughts down though because how many times have you had a great idea and you are like "I'll never forget this" and then a while later you are wondering what that was or you entirely move on because life moves fast.

Creatives, writers, comedians, developers, or just projects, are better when writing is involved in ideas to realization of those ideas.

Writing it down and notes is a form of brainstorming. Brainstorming allows ideas to be spontaneous and allows improvisation to get to better ideas. Even writing down bad ideas because somewhere in it is something good.

I use notes apps but more now just a repo (super easy with github.dev everywhere) and notes have easy history that way and you can freely add/remove without feeling like notes are lost. When I use notes apps or even Google Docs, yes they have history but it isn't as fluid/quick as github for that. The important thing is find something that works for you that makes the barrier to writing it down almost non-existent. It needs to be very easy to write things down in between busy days and to capture these fleeting moments.
What is being talked about is a single 16-bit write inside a byte buffer. The benchmark delta is 10ns per request (90ns for bit-twiddling vs 100ns for writeUInt16BE).

90ns/100ns is a lot for this kind of operation, but that comes from JS' handling of numbers and not a badly optimised routine.

Early on in my career I used to take copious amounts of notes at work, had note books filled with them. I then moved onto apps and got obsessed with trying the latest one to make me more productive, or so I thought.

I stopped doing this around 5 years ago as an experiment and never looked back, I am probably more productive now and I sense my memory is sharper. My colleagues comment about how I can recall things from months back without looking at notes (sometimes to their annoyance).

I have found myself instead thinking a lot more and actually talking to myself quietly to process concepts and ideas, this is a bit weird I know and few colleagues commented on it.

Also instead of taking notes from meetings I mark expected actions from them in my diary to hold others and myself accountable to time.

I also religiously follow the 'two minutes rule' by James Clear.
They have been printing money at a significantly elevated (yet far from being as high as in 2020-21) rates for years yet CPI growth remained very low both in US and the EU besides fluctuations in energy prices and housing.
Sites should publish their data with Signed Http Exchange (sxg) data. So other sites can share the raw data among themselves freely.

This current cruel control over all user data is amoral. It has no effect on bad people, & only hurts those trying to do right & to improve situations.

If sites want to make money, it should be for doing more than being the site of record for user content. SXG is a viable path forward to let the internet be authentically better connected.

We don't know the details. But it's pretty implausible that the process of learning wouldn't involve the brain having some representation of the thing it's learning, or wouldn't involve repeatedly "copying" that representation. Every way we know of processing data works like that. (OK, there are theoretical notions of reversible computation - but it's more complex and less effective than the regular kind, so it seems very unlikely the brain would operate that way)

And a human who has learned to perform a task has certainly "derived a function that takes some input and produces an output".
I started deferring my note taking to later in the evening or the next day. Allows me to stew on an idea for a bit longer and if it’s important I can write down more thoughts (now from memory). Best of both worlds.

So is a human mind.

> In the US you are allowed to take a photo of anything you want in public. These models are not being trained on datasets collected wholly in public though, it is very insidious to suggest that they are.

How so? What non-public training data are they using, and why does it matter?

> The internet is not "the public". It is a series of digital properties that define terms for interacting with them. Now, a lot of material is publicly accessible online, but that does not mean that it is not still governed by copyright. For example, my code on Github is publicly accessible, but that doesn't mean you can disregard the license.

It does mean you can read the code and learn from it without concern for the license (morally, if not legally).

I would argue most of the things you are mentioning are plain repetition, and not spaced repetition, which has an element of optimal spacing to minimise reviewing time while keeping retention high.

Similarly, propaganda and the like builds on the recency/frequency heuristic in System 1 which makes things you commonly hear seem true, and it's triggered by repetition -- perhaps even more efficiently than by spaced repetition.
Your comment is very confusing and in fact you do seem to be replying to the person you are claiming you are not responding to even now. Maybe you can go back through the thread and verify the names on all the posts?
look i'm not a maga guy but when i read some of the investigative reporting related to jesse bloom noticing swaths of sequences deleted from public repos and peter daszak doing some questionable stuff and the ralph baric making that exact coronavirus gain of function it's clear some bad stuff was happening. the only one reporting it besides vanity fair was laura freaking ingraham. also I'm not maga or anti-vax or anti-fauci or anti-mask or anti-immigrant or anti-CDC or anti-WHO or anti-china and i think the covid response in usa should have been even faster and more restrictive.
Ad tracking, and obfuscation to make scraping harder, plus it's trendy to use lot's of JS libraries.
I tried doing that (I pay for Obsidian Sync, and have a lot of plugins so I run only the bare minimum plugins I need on mobile), but app start time and syncing time on mobile makes this quite a bad experience. Instead, when I need to write something quickly, I create a temporary Google Keep note.

When I'm back at my laptop, I merge it into my Obsidian Vault.

The cron job canary was probably not a service that employees were uploading tonnes of company confidential material into, was it? So I fail to see how the comparison makes sense.

The reason companies shun OpenAI and want a self hosted alternative isn't related to costs, it's becasue they don't want their code, internal emails, documentation etc to be uploaded to Microsoft and thus also directly to the NSA.

> The MOSFETs I'm using comes in a TO-220 package. The metal tab of the MOSFET is technically tied to its drain pin. Electrical isolation must be applied to avoid conduction between the other sets of MOSFETs. I usually leave the upper MOSFETs from the H-Bridge unisolated as they share a common drain pin (Vcc).

Oh holy, that's not good. If the screw threads manage to touch the inner side of the hole of the metal tab, you have electrical connection.

Besides that, I don't see a short-circuit protection on there - not sure if the "overcurrent" feedback can handle a dead short before the FETs blow up.

> handle the case where a whole bunch of inverters are in parallel and a load that’s much larger than any one of them can handle individually

Yes, but with caveats... The grid will startup, smoothly (ie. gradually), but during startup every inverter will be at its maximum configured load (with the maximum load config ramped during startup). When the maximum load is hit, the frequency sits at the minimum design frequency (59.9 Hz in this case), and voltage drops instead.

So your large device will see a sine wave at 59.9 Hz that starts at zero volts, and increases in amplitude to 230 volts gradually over many seconds, and as soon as it hits 230 volts, the frequency will almost immediately become 60 Hz.

For large motors, thats a problem. Large motors typically don't like line frequency at a reduced voltage - they can end up not having enough torque to turn, and will just rapidly heat up. They would do better without the gradual startup ramp - but that startup ramp is necessary to ensure the inverters stay in sync.

In reality, this scheme works for AC type motors rated up to about 30% of the capacity of the inverter set, or up to 100% as long as another motor is already running on the same grid.
Did we just invent bitcoin?
Holy shit! I didn’t realize Clear existed outside airports. So they are just some general purpose line cutting company? Presumably they track a shitton of information on people cutting lines, and both profit off of people paying them and the information they gather. I wish I’d could say that business getting a proposal to partner with Clear would tell them to take a hike, but I guess few American companies really have any integrity left.

Will those who try to put the genie in the bottle have leverage? Maybe we just try & can win at deleveraging the world. But that seems unlikely.

The Luddites didn't smash machines because they thought they were evil. They smashed them because they were elements of institutional power over people. I keep feeling- like the luddites- that going back isn't the way, that it's not the machines nor power, not a conservative return to an old era that we need, but a system of empowerment, where we can leverage ourselves & have dignity in our relations with technology that is the way forward.

> If dnssec usage was wide spread we might reach some decent maturity with the tools and protocols, but I can't see that happening any time soon.

DNSSEC's lack of maturity is a symptom of DNS itself not having a healthy ecosystem. I feel like it'd take as little as a half-percent of the people writing new HTTP tooling to noticeable improve the DNS ecosystem as a whole.

Humans learn on copyrighted works as a matter of standard training. And certainly humans can memorize those works and replicate them – and we rely on the legal system to ensure that they don't monetize them.

The same will apply to neural nets. They can learn from others, but must make sufficiently distinct new works of art from what they've learned.

TLDR;

The Peelian principles are a set of nine policing principles developed by Sir Robert Peel in 1829, which laid the foundation for modern law enforcement. These principles are still relevant today and provide a code of ethics and conduct for police officers. The following are the nine Peelian principles:

The basic mission for which the police exist is to prevent crime and disorder.

The ability of the police to perform their duties is dependent upon public approval of their existence, behavior, conduct, and the willingness of the public to cooperate with them.

Police must secure the willing co-operation of the public in voluntary observance of the law to be able to secure and maintain the respect of the public.

The test of police efficiency is the absence of crime and disorder, not the visible evidence of police action in dealing with it.

Police seek and preserve public favour not by catering to public opinion but by constantly demonstrating absolute impartial service to law.

Police use physical force only when necessary, exercising restraint in such use and using only the minimum degree of physical force necessary in any particular circumstance.

Police, at all times, should maintain a relationship with the public that gives reality to the historic tradition that the police arethe public and that members ofthe publicarethe police.

Police should always direct their action strictly towards their functionsand never appear to usurpthe powersofthe judiciary.

The test of police effectiveness is not measured by individual officers or units but rather by how effectively society is brought into accord with its laws through its members’ voluntary compliance with them as well as by efficient enforcement where necessary
Solid.

What’s weird (and to your point) is that many scholars claim that wasn’t really a word for consciousness in Ancient Greek. I mean, maybe pathos or aesthesis or something, but it is oddly missing. And nous didn’t seem to include core aspects of experience like emotions. Psyche/soup was contested then and now, but I don’t think scholars would consider it to be a good mapping to consciousness/qualia.
I have changed my mind on this recently.

Sure, exploiting free software to the benefit of private corps is bad but if the law would allow us to train an open source net on LibGen (with all the copyrighted books and papers) and then to distribute the weights legally, I am all for that.
Ask HN: Do You Have Any Tips for Buying a Car Without Tremendous Markup in 2023?

Can you offer any recommendations for finding a good car for close to MSRP? Any particular brands that are more reasonable these days?(You don't need to tell me about Tesla).

I ended up deleting my Reddit accounts. Spend less time manually typing subreddits in or even using Reddit at all. I’m sure something else will take over but for now this and tildes leaves not much. There is more time for books or other things.

I wonder if a huge swath of people started batch edit-deleting poisoning old comments, gpdr delete requests, and deleting accounts that Reddit would respond. It would greatly reduce their search clicks and we’ll be on stackoverflow, discord, or something else soon.

> part of your llm prompt (usually your most recent question?) gets fed as a query for the embedding/vector database

How is it embedded? Using a separere embedding model, like Bert or something? Or do you use the LLM itself somehow? Also, how do you create content for the vector database keys themselves? Also just some arbitrary off the shelf embedding? Or do you train it as part of training the LLM?
A note-taking could easily do the exact statistics of how many times we go back and check our notes.

The result probably varies a bit, depending on the note taking style and one's needs but my n=1 insight is that the few times I do, it is indispensable.

So its not a placebo, note taking works by giving you a few precious hints as to what was your state of mind. Its a digital long tail extension of the mind. Not somebody elses mind. They would literally make no sense of my notes.

A key consideration is how much time it takes. Too detailed and its probably a waste of time, too sketchy and it might not capture enough hints.

So the endless discussion about note taking apps feels like an obsession. Maybe we feel there is something dramatically empowering just beyond reach.
That's a convenient explanation that's been repeated over and over by certain people, but cost is a much more likely explanation: inference for large models is extraordinarily expensive when you have millions of users and their pricing model always seemed way too low to pay for that.

They have likely been subsidizing their users since the launch of their commercial offering (and this is pretty common strategy for SV startups) but they've been so successful that they now need to scale the cost down in order not to burn all their cash too fast.
Yes, it's definitely a new word for an old concept, same as the term data scientist for data analyst or statistician.

I find Python is fast enough for small to medium datasets. I've normally worked with data that needs to be loaded each morning or sometimes hourly, so whether the transformation takes 1 minute or 10 minutes it doesn't matter. The better way is of course to dump the data into a data warehouse as soon as possible and then use SQL for everything, so I only use Python for things that SQL isn't suited for, like making HTTP requests.
