Not fully, as I like my american freedom a whole lot more than comfort: I'll take a free but imbecile-full society with free speech + the freedom to bear arm over the european version of """free speech""" + restriction of gun ownership to the police and the military.

Curiously enough, that seem to goes hand-in-hand with the police throwing hand grenades and using RPG against protesters - this may be A-ok in Europe, but that wouldn't fly here.

My grandpa built his home and it was a nightmare. Contractors kept going cheap, he had to watch over them, cost overruns, delays, etc. He probably has a better home than one could ever buy, but I don't have that kind of time or money.
Thinking about it more thoroughly, I am pretty convinced that the author's conclusion is correct. At the start, the neural net does not encode anything like an FFT or clever modulo arithmetic. The phase space of similarly-behaved weight-values is quite huge, when the neural net is not very sophisticated.

But then eventually gradient descent finds its way into an implementation of FFT and all the rest, which solves the problem exactly. The phase space of weight-values that exhibit this behaviour is far, far smaller than the phase space I described in the previous paragraph. This means that the set of symmetries has been changed, which is the definition of a phase transition.

The reason we see a first-order (sudden) phase transition is perhaps because of the size of the neural net being trained. Perhaps there aren't enough parameters available to encode a half-assed solution, and so there is no continuous transition from clueless to grokked. It either "gets it" or it doesn't.
As far as I see, average ETH gas prices have been between ~20 and ~170 USD in the last few months. So, by my understanding (happy to be corrected) for a 1k USD transaction, that's between 2% and 17%. It does get pretty good if you're transacting huge sums. It's abysmal for day-to-day payments.
Interesting stuff, it's weird how sometimes it nails the tone and context but sometimes fails completely.

With the Beatles it generates a psychedelic scene and an actual yellow submarine from what is really a very mundane street scene, indicating the model has 'knowledge' of who the Beatles are and what their aesthetic is.

With Master of Puppets, it utterly fails to determine the tone or even content of the scene.

You brought some forgotten memories for me. X-tetris was the real deal https://archive.org/details/xtetris
This seems to be implying that F# programmers do 'poorly' because the language 'protects' them. But, isn't that good? Why have a language that purposely tries to trip you(dynamic), and you are a 'good' programmer if you don't get tripped. This seems to be rewarding people that are good at using a bad language. Since if you are using F# you don't learn the techniques for using other bad languages, doesn't make that programmer bad, it just means F# is more seamless.
You said it.

The article just seems to be a series of ramblings. I am not quite sure why people are enamoured of it.
Could happen. Could not happen. I don't have a crystal ball.
Do you think a lot of that is scaling pain... like what if they're making cuts to the more expensive reasoning layers to gain more scale. Seems more plausible to me that the teams keeping the lights on have been doing optimization work to save cost and improve speed. The result during those optimizations might not be immediately obvious to the team and then they push deploy and only through anecdotal evidence such as yours can they determine the result of their clever optimization resulted in a deteriorated user experience... I mean think about doing a UI update that improves site performance but has the side effect of making the site appear to load slower because the transition effects are removed... Just my 2 cents trying to think more like their are humans supporting that thing that grew at a crazy speed to 100 million users.

I'm so tired of this "regulations bad" trope.

Most of the time, regulations do good. When I was young the Hudson River was a toxic cesspool of chemical filth. Now the river is slowly becoming a habitat again. The EPA does a whole lot of good.

If you're afraid of Microsoft reaching its tendrils into OpenAI and corrupting its original purpose, as you probably should be, then maybe you should consider supporting regulations that democratize access to models, for example.

The pub

I was never much interested in pubs when I was younger, but in my mid-40s working at home I found myself a place where everybody knows my name. It's not about the alcohol - most of the time I'm driving and therefore drinking non-alco beer
I have felt the same way, and curious to what others say about it. I assume the problem I have is that I am not always good at asking the questions of the documentation that I mean, and Google is good at inferring my meaning. More often than not, I don't just need the method signature, but some narrative around what and why. But I try things like Dash again when they come up, or moments like this. To your question, offline browsing is the biggest benefit I see. Long plane ride ahead, or cruise, or train ride? Take your doc with you.
When my first child was born, he didn't cry and had to spend the beginning of his life in the NICU. When he first cried, after having his life saved by doctors, so did I.

I love the sound of crying babies. It means they're okay enough to cry.
> it's still really hard to beat working from home

Citation needed.

Personally, working from home is an absolute nightmare for me. There is an endless list of chores and things to do around the house that are a constant distraction and mind-space consumer, it is hard to disconnect at the end of the day, I am continually continually interrupted by family members (...and if I am not I am worrying if the kids are ok since why cant I hear them? Are they ok? Are they laying on the floor unconscious? etc etc), cleaners, the post man, the amazon delivery guy/gal, the list is endless. I have to keep half a brain "on-call" to listen out for and react to these interruptions.

This is even with a good sized dedicated office room. I did not even have that during covid and my entire family was in one room at a time.

At the office I can concentrate and get work done, since it is a workplace and there are no non-work distractions. Any interruptions at work are for work, so it is my job to handle them on work time.
I started running about 10 years ago, and joined some local run groups. A few of them will do a run and then go out for a beer afterwards. I've made some good friends there, and we do things outside of running.

Same with cycling - I started cycling a few years ago and meet up with some cycling groups and we do rides together.
Definitely. I would love to be able to customize the design area and get matching amounts of data to be entered.
Where I'm from we call this graphics format "Mode 7"
Yes, it would be more efficiant, but it will also be more costly to generate. It would also render the handling of Signal more tricky (need to always be able to go back from the RV64 address to the orignial x86_64 address in case of a SEGFAULT for example). Also, intra-block jump make this more complicated. Box64 does a limited full-block optimisation for the Flags handling and SSE/x87/MMX register attribution, but that's pretty much. Some constant propagation mecanism would be nice and could save a lot of opcode, but no worked as been done it that direction for now (maybe later, it always bother me when I look at generated code dump to see also those multiple constant assigned multiple time).
I’d reply in depth but I’m hung up on your suggestion that there was any time anywhere where 100% of families were two parents and two to four kids.

Any data for that? No women dead in childbirth, no large numbers of children for social / economic / religious reasons, no married but waiting for kids, no variation whatsoever?

I’d be very surprised if you could find one time period for one society that was so uniform, let alone any evidence that this was somehow universal until recently.

You claim to value facts above all else, but this sure looks like a fabricated claim.
Any artist jumping on this now Adobe provides this tech, tech that has been around for months now, for free. Deserves what's coming for them.

I PROMISE you once Adobe has market saturation on this and people have embedded it in their workflows and work without it feels painful they're going to be slapping a $40-$100 (It replaces literal days of work and literal team members, they can charge what they want) a month price tag on it on top of Creative Cloud.

Artists once again, never learning from the past and handing over their future to an abusive company that seeks rent on their ability to earn.

All you had to do is install any of the countless Stable Diffusion UIs and you'd have this tech free forever, some of them even integrate into Photoshop.

No sympathy for anyone who chooses this path when we finally had an opening to harm the Adobe monopoly.
If AMD is a chip maker then so is Apple by the same metrics.

So, they're #1 in power efficiency, #1 in fanless performance, #1 in Tablets, #1 in Fanless computers, #1 in Mini computers.
You can possibly generate these filters on the server-side and serialize them for the client. I like the idea of only needing to store some pointers and metadata locally; that said I do prefer all my mail is available offline.

The outrageous complexity of web tooling is a big hindrance if you can be served by a conceptually simple solution like yours.

I keep wondering all the time why torrent search is based on websites (centralized), which can be taken down, etc., while once you have a torrent file or a magnet/hash everything is distributed.

Is there a main reason why there isn't (AFAIK, even though I haven't really researched) a distributed search that wouldn't have these problems? Is it a tech problem that literally can't be solved? Or it just hasn't been done? It seems like search is the obvious weak link, since the websites keep disappearing or taken down or blocked by governments and ISPs, etc.
That almost costs more than actually paying for the content.
Are you implying that's a very narrow scope? Keep in mind:

These integrated GPUs however often are barely worth calling them by that name, and completely forget about the crap Qualcomm and others ship.
The risk Nikon is facing, and product liability goes far beyond warranties and cover far larger periods, is that theoretically the importer of records takes all product liability risks. Now that lens is a private import from the US, and it is a genuine Nikon product. So, in a sense, that particular lense might cause a liability against Nikon EU, who has no insurance for that case. So yes, there is a risk.

Now, in that case, Nikon EU was not at all involved. It was Nikon US, and we do not know why. Because Nikon is allowing export of used gear from Japan to the US and EU all the time.

So, my theory, is that said auction was caught by some algorithm Nikon US (most likely some service provider) was using and flagged to eBay US. As a result, eBay prevented something very specific, the use of eBays program for international shipping. Note, eBay did not block the auction for US customers, nor did they mention, if I read the screenshot correctly, the export by the seller himself. eBay US just said we don't do that for you in that case.

This is far from screwing consumers or impeding property or repair rights. Heck, we don't even know why the auction was flagged!

It feels like HN leans toward the idea that remote work is always better. I disagree, but I recognize I'm in the minority here.

But, I do want to point out that this happened:

https://www.wired.com/2014/04/tom-pw/

Correlation is not causation, etc. BUT, to me it feels like this kind of thing would not have happened if there had been more consistent in office time.

(ducks from the tidal wave of downvotes...)

Sure, I imagine that many will say: if people were not in the office, there are not opportunities for sexual harassment! But, I would say, interacting with people face to face leads to better communication and connection. And, in doing so, reduces the likelihood of interactions that are interpreted as sexual harassment, and reduces the likelihood that people will interact with others in a purely sexual way because they have limited exposure to them in person.
I was involved in multiple churches for over 20 years, none of them taught it, none were fundamentalists.
So a guy who was working a warehouse job and tumbled into the industry as some kind of "web dev" fewer than ten years ago offers sage advice like:

> Moreover, I hope nobody after age 29 actually lives and breathes code, even if they really like programming.

and

> A lot of those high-passion types are overly intellectual douchebag types who slow down the development process because someone didn't use their preferred design pattern. Do you really want to be one of them?

Do you realize that none of the software you use day-to-day would exist if people thought like ravenstine? Like I said, some people are not cut out for this kind of work at all and would be better to leave the industry. Actual programmers will read ravenstine's comments without context or research and believe they're reading career wisdom, rather than the anti-intellectual frustrations of mediocrity.

In context, ravenstine is saying "I should have stopped caring after a few years working as a software developer" which was their situation at 29. Commendable self-awareness, but this isn't therapy.
Sites can't be offered as torrents, because generally torrents are immutable once they have been created. You can't say "oops, that version of the file is wrong" and start offering the new version within that same torrent swarm.

However, there was an update to the protocol, BEP44, that did allow you to update the already-in-progress torrent.

Furthermore, there is a protocol called WebTorrent that swaps out some of the other base protocols for WebRTC, allowing a web browser to participate in the torrents. You could just include a link to the library via CDN. The trouble of course is that bittorrent now relies on DHT more and more (you wouldn't want to have to run a tracker, if you did it'd just be a target of legal attacks)... and WebTorrent can't do DHT (of any variety) well. There was a proposal to allow browsers to be able to do native network sockets, but I think that got turned down by Mozilla (maybe they were more concerned with doing VPN ads or something).

But if you had that, then yes, it might be possible to have something like a "swarmsite" that didn't need to be hosted.

Show HN: Find the sickest motorcycle rides in your area with Peg Scraper
Dear HN,

This is a little weekend project I put together for a good friend of mine who loves to ride. It shows you the best, twistiest roads in your area and then randomly selects a few of them until you see a "loop" that you like—then it shoots you straight to Google Maps with the route pre-loaded.

Thought I would drop it here because why not.

I have seen several folks on here mention Usenet subscriptions as another option. What I haven't found is any good Usenet tutorial on how to actually get from "I know the name of something I want" to "I have downloaded it".

The irony that I used to run a UUCP node on the original version of Usenet does not escape me :-)
I wish it had a proper installable app. Relying on browser local storage is a nightmare since your browser will randomly and with no warning delete it all. The whole point of offline docs is that they're available... offline. On more than one occasion I've gone back to devdocs.io and everything I saved locally is wiped out, and of course I'm offline and just can't do anything.

Give me local HTML files I can stash in my filesystem. I actually just use wget to recursively archive entire documentation sites to local folders and serve them up with python's built in web browser. It's the only way to be sure I have accurate and up to date offline docs.
i've been using sonicare toothbrushes for 10+ years and the only difference i have noticed with the "smart" version is horrific battery life. amazing innovation! :\
From a personal use case, the number of instructions available in TPUs are still limited and some workaround is needed when designing custom layers. Even if it's available in platforms like Colab or Kaggle, people still lean to GPUs as it is more versatile.
The last time I gave F# a shot, I tried to write a simple Telegram bot in it.

Just to test how much I would actually benefit from the .NET ecosystem, I chose to use a C# wrapper for the Telegram API. Suddenly I had to handle null references and exceptions everywhere (it's in this regard even worse than Rust, where I'm guaranteed to get Options and Results).

I know proper support for C# T? type interop is in the works (https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp/pull/15181), but really it seemed to me that too few cared about F# to get it landed in a reasonable timeframe.

I'd really love to see a pragmatic FP language with a reasonable amount of libs to choose from (both natively and via interop without much effort), but F# was a bit far from that description IMO.
Ah thanks, didn't realize JW do not vote! Interesting!

“Should we automate away all the jobs, including the fulfilling ones? Should we develop nonhuman minds that might eventually outnumber, outsmart, obsolete and replace us? Should we risk loss of control of our civilization?”

The answer is yes.

If machines can produce, distribute, & maintain the resources, environment, and infrastructure around us arguably this is a benefit and allows a way forward for more and more people to have free time to explore interests, relationships, and participate in democracy.
