You might try contacting the school in this article [1], which has banned phones. Or this one [2], which has done the same. And this article [3] mentions a few more.

I took those links from an article in The Atlantic [4] Get Phones Out of Schools Now, which you might find interesting.

EDIT to add that The Atlantic article has a comment thread on HN [5].

You are hallucinating complete nonsense here.

Just think for a second, if such a thing was possible, why would it be restricted to "UFOs"?

Obviously, such an illness would be well known.
Yes the UK in the same (if not slightly better) position than most other "developed" countries.

However, the green account tells me the the actual intention of the comment is about the "Great Replacement" or other such conspiratorial nonsense.

The magma is not exactly a liquid. Neither is it homogeneous - the roots of the components of continental plates extend down hundreds of kilometers into the mantle. It is also possible to seismologically trace the remains of ancient continental plates which have otherwise all but disappeared from the crust.
Offer any real reason why a person cannot experience extreme time dilation? Proof by contradiction? Anything other than a hunch... Because a lot of people across a lot of cultures with various substances have experienced and independently reported this. To say "no because I don't think so" is akin to gas lighting people who dropped a ball and observed it always fell, or found certain ores were attracted to certain metals. There's a lot of evidence for these experiences, and it's quite reproducible.
Ah yes, if line doesn't up and to the right then it must be bad.

For whom is a declining population a nightmare exactly? I understand why from the state's position of wanting to maximising political and economic influence in the world it might be bad to have a lower population relative to other nations, but I think describing this a "nightmare" is a bit extreme. I doubt anyone in Russia really cares that much if the population is declining or growing in any given year.

Russia is perhaps in a slightly different situation, but my controversial take here would be that in general the policies which are implemented by governments to increase population almost always come with their own negatives. That's not to say there aren't policies which could work, but I think general when leaders become focused on making population line go up they start making decisions which are bad for the average citizen.
True, yet the data shows they're not drinking as much outside pubs or venues either. The price rises have been here for decades, my old local landlord pointed at the Stella tap and said, "you can't be premium in pubs and cheap in supermarkets" to underline the price/value issue that you pointed out, and breweries have been squeezing venues for YEARS, forgetting staffing costs, etc.

I quit the booze years ago and it turns out that I/we overestimate hugely how much other people drink. Right now, Gen X and Baby Boomers are keeping the drinks industry alive, I think :D
PolyMatter tackled the Russian and Ukrainian demographic crisis recently. Ukraine’s situation was terrible even before the war.

A person recording on a phone is not participating in the event. They are, for the most part, observing. Others may be able to see their expressions and whatnot but they are generally not interacting with the person doing the filming. It remains to be seen if people are willing to interact with someone wearing, what will appear to be, ski goggles. Apple may not have solved the issue but they clearly spent a vast amount of money/time/effort to make it so that interacting with someone wearing the headset isn’t too weird. We will see if they got it right or close enough to right.
And, most importantly, data is used in the calculation. Data which has statistical properties.

> things weren't written

Why do you think they weren’t written done? Carthage and many other from which we have no surviving texts were highly literate societies and there is no reason to think that Greek or Roman historians did not use those sources.
Never Split the Difference was definitely interesting, but I was shocked the author was giving advice considering some of the situations explained in the book. In one of them, involving hostages, IIRC the negotiations went bad and people died as a result. I get the "I made the mistake and learned form it" angle, but still feels wrong when you read that part.
There are zero indisputable photos of 99.9999999% of things that happen on earth. I mean, even if you have 10 separate people seeing the same thing and someone videoing, that's still disputable. You'd need a stadium of observers and several camera rigs before photo/video evidence would be the necessary level of "sure" to be considered indisputable when it comes to UFOs.
> Ah yes, if line doesn't up and to the right then it must be bad.

For life expectancy, yes.
While being ridculed by all the rest? You have a weird idea of "wanted attention".

Who said it is? Tons of people report seeing all manner of nonsense.
The program yes, but the model is based on data which is fuzzy and uncertain.

I mean, this is a Windows emulation layer. It's just designed for game developers to be able to quickly see what a rough version of their macOS port would look like. Like, does translating your game automatically yield you 40 FPS, or 4 FPS? Valve's emulation layer on the other hand is designed for end users to be able to run games without a native port.

Remember, the iPad doesn’t come with a controller, but you can use a Pencil with it if you want.

Same thing will likely happen with the Vision products.
Disagree, C is not at all lower level than Rust or C++. It is much less expressive, but there is nothing that would be possible in C that can’t be done in C++/Rust. Hell, these latter two are even closer to the hardware due to having proper SIMD primitives.

C++ is the de facto “most performant” language for a reason.

ChatDB: Augmenting LLMs with Databases as Their Symbolic Memory
> But Apple does ship powerful GPUs. In fact, the M2 Max is probably the most or second most powerful GPU on laptops. But games aren't optimized for Metal nor ARM, so they run slower than Nvidia laptop GPUs.

The most powerful iGPU likely. It still won't come anywhere close to high-end dedicated laptop GPUs in the vast majority of benchmarks regardless of how much optimization you throw at it - that's just falling for marketing / hype.

We're already in the middle of what is very likely our human-made extinction event, and we're worried about AIs?

If anything our rather alarming denial over our impending extinction is an existential threat to AIs.

If nobody is around to keep the generators going and manufacturing these cool silicon-chip doohickies, there isn't going to be much of an opportunity for Sky-ChatGPT-Net to come up with "Cogito ergo sum" much less "Kill! All! The! Humans!" (or more passive functional equivalents).
I would view it more as personal failure of your partners and the institutions they attended than of fields themselves…
This is a great idea and would love to see something like this succeed!

If I understand how all of these OpenAI dependent apps work, none of them actually have the LLM and are doing any kind of heavy processing. AFAIK, they’re all packaging your data, submitting it to OpenAI on every request and then repackaging the output. There’s no real indexing, no real tangible thing, you have to start from scratch every time. So it’s likely going to be very expensive and super slow.

Or am I wrong and I’ve missed something here?

M2 Max is very impressive given its power consumption, but it's not powerfull as in RTX 30 or 40 powerfull.
Empiricism vs rationalism
The rational response to this point-counterpoint is to decentralise power & let people take their own risks as far as we are able for the truth is a rare and delicate flower which we cannot reliably identify. The only fair option is to let people make their own decisions.

But for some reason the level of abstract thought required to justify that is just too high and people can't overcome their instincts. It seems nearly every time there is a crisis the body politic centralises power and, usually, gets a much worse result than just letting people do what makes sense to them. Then people just assume that because they did something and the world didn't literally end in fire that they what they did helped. Then in the good times they do their level best to run down whatever reserves are available and prepare to go in to the next crisis with nothing but elbow grease and optimism.

Human nature: the biggest threat we face.
A screen would be nowhere near as immersive.

My point was that it would be like walking around Madurodam while playing a game.

And standing would be optional. Apple showed most people sitting down, so I’m presuming you could do that.
I'm sorry, are you genuinely trying to argue for austerity ("hard but necessary reforms accompanied by significant spending cuts") in a thread that literally started with someone posting information debunking the scientific basis for claims that austerity works? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36199042

Also I'm not sure what your link seeks to demonstrate. The article says British Leyland was nationalised in 1975 but its history section starts out stating that it was formed in 1968 by the merger of BMH and LMC and that BMH was "periously close to collapse". The article shifts a lot of the blame for its failure on strikes and the company being too poorly organized to withstand them but the continuous failure of BMH following the merger is a running theme. The reason it was nationalised is also suggested to be that it was facing bankruptcy while representing almost the entirety of the UK automobile market.

Honestly, if anything BL's history reads like an example of aggressive mergers/buy-outs ruining an industry through monopolization and the tax payer ending up having to foot the bill to bail out the company so half the economy doesn't collapse with it. If the LMC-BMH merger hadn't gone through, BMH would have failed on its own instead of growing into an integral part of BL and taking the entire company with it to the point that the government had to step in and keep it on life support long enough to start selling parts off for scrap.
$20/cocktail is the norm here. Maybe $30 after tips and taxes. A night out at a club or bar can easily be in the hundreds. It's insane. I'd rather eat a gummy before going out and just order soda and pretend it's rum and coke.

Why do you think that ? I am asking as someone who is working in gamedev.

Game industry got burned by some big company recently when multi year efforts were spent porting 3d stacks and the target platform got axed.

I agree, but I'm not sure it's all that different from oil, iron ore ore drinking water?
I can see many use cases for this work:

1. Plug and play. Change LLMs behind the app.

2. Evaluate performance/accuracy based on a dataset.

Yes. Indeed, even bacteria can learn.
Apple is as much an ad company as Google is a hardware company.

Their revenue and profit are aligned toward selling hardware, not data and so their stance is, and can be very different from others. For an ad company, not selling ads and data kills their company. For a hardware company it’s possible to have a high margin by just selling devices.
All that was very real and yet, by its very nature, applied only to some people and it was possible - indeed, mandatory - to not think about it in daily life. The overall effect was a sort of adequately comfortable open prison, while a lot of people saw improvements in their material condition over their lives. As in China.

It also had a certain structure to the misery, which is now replaced by arbitrary brutality both from the state and organized crime.

It is a documented fact that Russian life expectancy dropped immediately after the fall of the USSR. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1057/s41294-021-00169-w ; "Male life expectancy at birth in Russia fell by six years between 1991 and 1994, from an already-low 63.4 years to 57.4 years over that period, an almost unprecedented decrease in life expectancy in three years"

They have a chart on which you can see how the recovery corresponds roughly to how successfully post-Soviet states managed to "westernize". Estonia did well. Ukraine has only just recovered to Soviet levels.

In summary: western life expectancy good, Soviet life expectancy adequate, third state of collapse autocracy/anarchy in the middle very bad.
Skiing was what I was wondering.
Especially since at the point any civilization starts to develop technology, it happens really exponentially. Even just 1 million years, which is nothing compared to geological time scales, is an absolutely insanely long amount of time to develop technology after the initial spark.

Our 300,000 year old species didn't even settle down until a mere 12,000 years ago, we didn't really develop proper government systems until 2-3,000 years ago and learnt flight only ~120 years ago.

Within the last 120 years we went to the Moon (!), developed the integrated microchip, the Internet, AR/VR and built deep space solar communications infrastructure, got smartphones, MRTs... you name it.

Even among all of these marvels, we still poop though.
These GPUs aren’t too bad. Theoretically, M2 Max peaks at 14.4 teraflops, and 400 GB/s memory bandwidth. M2 Ultra is too new, but Apple says it’s GPU is 30% faster (probably 18.7 teraflops then?), and that it has 800 GB/s memory bandwidth.

The numbers for M2 Ultra are comparable to some powerful GPUs. The theoretical TFlops number is close to Radeon 6900 XT and GeForce 3070, theoretical memory bandwidth is close to Radeon 7900 XT and GeForce 4080.

However, good point on the pricing. Apparently, Mac Pro starts at $7k, which is way too expensive for most gamers.

You have those problems mostly because your Tobii is external device much more far away - you won't get good enough accuracy comparing to any eye tracking that is just a camera few cm far away from your eyes.

With Apple solution (or any VR with eye tracking):

1. You have very accurate head 6d location (gyroscope, compass, accelerometer + lidar for translation) at 100+ fps minimum and very computationally cheaply without much latency

2. Cameras pointing at each eye from distance of few centimeters. In this situation Eye region of interest occupy full image resolution. Probably even VGA resolution (or less) is enough to have very accurate precision in this case

3. Because headset covers your face you don't have any problem with different lightning condition, cluttered background, whats more they use IR floodlight to have consistent lighting of pupils

4. Possibly they even use similar Truedepth IR dot pattern to get 3d depthmap of your pupils similar like truedepth sensor works with difference that here they can put thos camera more far away and have it more accurate disparity map

5. Who knows maybe they even use lidar instead of truedepth for even lower latency

6. Because sensors are so close they can have very accurate reconstruction of your eyes and distance between them - most people don't have completely symmetric eye/face

Tobii is a sensor that is just like 0.5m far away from your face. Has to track your head, estimate orientation and distance, and detected eye ROI will be a tiny crop of their image sensor even if they camera has 4K resolution (which I doubt they use such resolution). At that distance if you want to get accuracy of 1 cm of what you are looking at screen you need to detect pupil movement of ~1 degree angle. If you want even better accuracy without gitter like 1mm then you need to detect movement of pupils of 0.1 degree angle.

> […] It is because of a special feature of the U74 that when it sees a short forward branch over exactly one ALU instruction it pairs the two instructions together in the A and B pipelines and instead of predicting whether the branch in the A pipe is taken or not it uses the result of the comparison to predicate the instruction in the B pipe.

> It turns it into a NOP at the last moment, or doesn't write the result back to the destination register or something like that.

Also note that the compressed relative branch instructions only use 16 bytes to encode.

> Well, with the possible exception of GPT-4, which may have learned just enough about what humans like, that it could do a passing job at discriminating art/innovation from noise. I say may - it feels possible, but we won't know until someone properly tests for it.

I've tried giving GPT4 some axes to rank writing on, and feed it some paragraphs. It's not perfect at it, but it's a far better critic than writer.

E.g. a while back I had it write something "in the style of Douglas Adams" and then had it critique it in another chat, and it recognised the imitation and proceeded to quite harshly judge its own writing for being flat and lacking direction and purpose. It was quite entertaining (more so than its superficially amusing Douglas Adams imitation).
It may be "a lot" in relative terms, but still a few order of magnitude lower than training.

It's a problem in Australia too, but I firmly believe that's just an oversight which has been de-prioritised in favour of other junk, rather than an imaginary attempt to export some form of linguistic imperialism.
In this case you have multiple societies independently telling the same thing about the same society. Seems about as credible as it gets in a situation like this.

Also it’s not like killing infants was a big deal for the Greeks. There were even a bit shocked by their perceived lack of female infanticide in the Etruscan society.
How to Delegate Better
Roman brothel excavations (in the old vincas, villages surrounding Roman frontier forts) would have numerous (>50) holes chipped in the sod with sad remains of tiny human bones. The unwanted children of the employees of the brothel, the unwanted and unsupportable offspring of Roman soldiers sowing their wild oats and not stepping up.

Not a thing to debate. Sure infant mortality was bad back then but not that bad. And no wanted, loved child got stuffed into a hole chipped in the sod back of the brothel.
>Personally, I think weed is horrible, and not just the smell. I once thought weed was as harmless as a banana, until I saw the state of my friends who've smoked a lot of weed for multiple decades, they're just lethargic and fugged-up, often distant, but who knows if it was the ultra-strong stuff - skunk? - that was all the rage.

I'm not saying that weed is good for everyone. It's just less "bad" than alcohol based on my experience.
Worth noting that Apple poured a lot of resources into making WebGPU happen. WebGPU is, in a great many ways, Metal but cross-platform. The way this pays off is if game developers start targeting WebGPU instead of Vulkan or DX12. That could happen since WebGPU is a meant to be a lot easier to code against than Vulkan. This effort to port DX12 can probably be seen as more of a hedge than anything else. They know that some publishers will stick to what they know for some time, but they wish for it to be easier to see the upside of a cross platform investment by publishers by delivering an easier win. If it doesn’t work perfectly but gets close, that still helps them a lot. Because Metal is no longer some parallel stack they’re promoting and wanting people to build Apple-exclusive games for, it’s a means to an end, and the end is WebGPU and cross-platform.
