LLMs are bad at math because they don't actually understand the rules of math.

They can write code to do math, but without code they can only estimate how likely a series of numbers are to be seen together.

They're very likely to get things like 2+2=4 correct because that's probably unique and common in their training data. They're unlikely to get two random numbers correct because it doesn't actually know what those numbers mean.
Safari, Edge and Chrome don't style any HTML elements like their native counter parts.
I think this argument ignores Wall Street's outsized influence on government policy; look at the 2008 recession, in which Wall Street's bad bet on a real estate bubble got bailed out while the actual home owners were thrown out onto the street and financially ruined. The government may not explicitly protect home prices, but it does protect Wall Street from its own risky behavior, which inexorably turns any drop in home prices into an opportunity for Wall Street to "buy the dip" while regular citizens struggle to keep a roof over their head.

I’ve noticed people are entering a lot of test content on the app which ruins the experience for new users. Why don’t you force people to enter a title and either a picture or a description? And block posts with the word “test” that are under 20 characters or something? Just to make the front page better and not ruin the conversion rate for new people.. just a thought!
Ha! I just found this the other day and thought it was for real, lol. I wasn't actually looking for leftpad, of course, but, well done!
That sounds good on paper, but I can only imagine it would lead to even worse lowest-common-denominator chasing than exists on reddit right now. Why would the moderators choose to enforce quality standards when crappy (but highly upvoted) memes make them more money?
Amen. I stopped using Reddit when their new website got released a few years back. Not for any ideological reason, just because their new anti-user patterns killed my enjoyment there.

I've never been happier having stopped using it!

yeah it's sad I guess but half the reason I am recommending this is that it "just works" so much more easily than installing half the Python ecosystem into a conda environment (ironically, just so that Python can then behave as a thin wrapper for calling the underlying native libraries ...)
Easy deployment anywhere, not just iOS. I haven't used Python in years so I have no idea what package manager is the best now, completely forgot how to use virtualenv, and it only took a few weeks to completely fuck up my local Python install ("Your version of CUDA doesn't match the one used to blah blah")

Treehouse is almost definitely in that conversation as well. Hill Farmstead as well.

The uproar is probably more among folks who follow the industry though. Most people have seen Anchor at a grocery store at some point. They were, I'm pretty sure, a natural niche craft brewery before those things were normal. In the same zone as places like Sam Adams or New Belgium or Sierra Nevada. You didn't have to really be "into beer" to know what they were and maybe enjoy buying a Christmas Ale from them every year as a seasonal thing.

To OP's point, there's less places like that now, but that's because I have 3 local breweries I'd be sad about if they closed, instead of 1-2 national breweries. I'd be sad if Trillium or Alchemist closed, but it's not as if I could buy them without traveling to the area, so it's more of a "aww, that's a bummer" and less of a change to my life.

I'm not sure either is better/worse though. We've just moved beyond the sort of craft beer monoculture. We don't just have 2-3 Christmas Ales we all drink, in the same way we don't all watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade or all talk about the new episode of ER every week.

> I have very secure WFH and I moved in closer intentionally. It's been life changing, I got rid of my car, moved in to a high end inner city apartment, and fully embraced the lifestyle.

Honestly? I did too and I'm am absolutely not sold on this lifestyle at all. I told myself I wanted to try it and see what it was like for a year and I have never been more lonely before in my entire life. Unless something changes I will move back after my lease is up, because a boring life is better than a lonely life.

There are more social events, but IMO they're very surface level, people don't want any deeper connection.

> Meanwhile I see all my rural family stagnating, getting addicted to drugs, stuck on welfare, and living subjectively depressing lifestyles.

I mean you're making pretty harsh judgments about their lives. If someone lives rural and is happy, that should be good enough even if you don't want the same lifestyle.

Getting addicted to drugs? I walk past junkies literally all the time now in the city, rural areas don't have a monopoly on drug issues.

> Is Python so annoying to use that when a compelling non-Python solution appears, everyone will love it? Less hassle? Or did it take off for a different reason? Interested in hearing thoughts.

For me it's less about the language and more about the dependencies. When I want to run a Python ML program, I need to go through the hassle of figuring out what the minimum version is, which package manager/distribution I need to use, and what system libraries those dependencies need to function properly. If I want to build a package for my distribution, these problems are dialed up to 11 and make it difficult to integrate (especially when using Nix). On top of that, those dependencies typically hide the juicy details of the program I actually care about.

For something like C or C++? Usually the most complicated part is running `make` or `cmake` with `pkgconfig` somewhere in my path. Maybe install some missing system libraries if necessary.

I just don't want to install yet another hundred copies of dependencies in a virtualenv and just hope it's set up correctly.

Even "compiled" JAX or PyTorch can leave some performance even if you hit the common path (It's also "praying" that the compiler actually works if you do anything non-standard).

But memory wise, there is almost no optimization or reuse (and it's sacrificed for performance), which leads to insane memory usage.

And it's not that they are bad - but optimal compilation of a graph is combinatorially explosive problem, impossible without heuristics and guesswork (what to reuse and waste memory vs recompute). A good programmer can do a significantly better job.
> You're exactly right. You already know.

So do you. But you've got an agenda and a worldview that prevents you from accepting it. Imagine being naive enough to believe that there isn't chemical nor biological weapons in this world. Believe what you want. This discussion is getting pointless and I'll end it here.
People want their home to be an 'investment' and rules get created to protect the investment and keep home prices going up. This is the natural result of those policies. In a world where supply can keep up, home prices are stagnant and extracting rents from land is not as great of a deal.
Land is not fungible ("location, location, location," as real estate agents often say) and good land is often constrained by zoning and other local regulations. Being able to buy a lot in the middle of nowhere with no access to jobs or other basic necessities is not terribly useful unless you are already independently wealthy. A truly widescale and permanent adoption of WFH might move the needle on this sort of thing, but (checks WSJ) gosh, whaddya know, it turns out Wall Street is fighting tooth and nail against WFH adoption.
Yeah, I agree. Whether you like it is almost beside the point. And then eventually people do start to like it through familiarity and tons of investment going into it and the momentum is tough to stop.
I never used it, but I certainly had to support web devs who did, and who needed me to open up FTP to the website so they could integrated-upload their markup.

There were a bunch of "does it do PASV" conversations. Because, FTP is sufficiently old-school (like telnet) that it believed in archaisms of how to open a distinct data port to a command port, and it made firewalls very unhappy unless you could use "passive mode" which was firewall friendly.

We wrote our own CMS using DAV (in Apache), and I wrote a push-publish engine which was on the "inside" master and would push out via rsync a checked out state respecting symlinks. It was kind-of like "stow" but for the networked web from a repo.

the BBEdit users weren't happy, they had their own idea of a CVS tree using "tortoiseCVS", we had many fine arguments about how to do it (most of the web was theirs but a small portion was not, and was in fact Apache::Perl rendered which was in a code repo, and combining multiple sources of authority over web state is always a very confusing place to be)

Tell HN: IRS Forcing ID.me Logins
A year or so ago the IRS was starting to force people to use ID.me logins, a 3rd party service which collected your biometrics, instead of the existing login.gov login. The internet revolted and they relented for a while, but it seems like they made the switch afterall - you can now only login using ID.me.

John Gruber of daringfireball fame and co-creator of Markdown worked there for awhile. His chapter on regex in the BBEdit manual is widely regarded as the best out there.
The mirai has worse range, has less power, is heavier, has less internal space, is bigger, requires more mining if rare minerals for fuel cells, lasts fewer miles before replacing the storage/fuel cell system, refuelling for daily use is much more cumbersome and it costs ten times as much to fuel as current gen EVs.

The supposed overwhelming advantage results in saving 20 minutes on a 1000km trip (if nobody else used the hydrogen station before you, otherwise fuelling times are the same).

With current state of the art batteries being put into next model cars that last bit goes away too.

I have to give the Detroit Free Press immense credit. In their initial and long obituary they didn't even mention that not only did he get two degrees from the University of Michigan but even taught there. He gave the library there copies of all his prison correspondence and even wanted to give them all of his writings from the cabin but the government blocked the request.

So I wrote them a critical note that they weren't doing their job. As a result to my somewhat complete surprise they wrote two pieces on Kaczynski's time in Ann Arbor. This is the second of those stories.
The big difference is we’re talking about it working on many devices, plus a lot of people have very bitter memories of Windows XP deprecation breaking apps.

CSS Differences in Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8 (2009)
One thing that playing with GNU Units has taught me is useful equivalences between various energy measures.

1 Hiroshima ~= 15.5 kiloton TNT ~= 18 GWh.

A large powerplant generates roughly 1 GW of electricity, so running for 18 hours is the equivalent of 1 Hiroshima.

(GNU units ... seems to have this predefined, along with 'davycrocket", "nagasaki", "fatman", "littleboy", "ivyking", "castlebravo", "tsarbomba", "b53bomb", "trinity", and "gadget".)

This also makes clear that it's not merely the amount of energy released, but the rate which matters. A powerplant running for three quarters of a day isn't tremendously destructive. A Little Boy type fission bomb exploding in a few microseconds ... is. Slowing your car from 100 kph to 0 over 10 seconds is a strong stop, doing that in 0.1 seconds is a fatal accident.

Typically, a 10x increase or decrease in scale or magnitude is transformative. By very rough averages, a human walks at ~5 kph, an automobile travels at 50 kph, a commercial airliner at 500 kph, a fighter aircraft at 5,000 kph, and a spacecraft at 50,000 kph.

"Wall Street" is a bit disingenuous.

From the original study: "We defined institutional buyers as companies, corporations, or limited liability companies (LLCs)."

It's very common for mom and pop landlords to buy homes through LLCs for liability protection.

It would be more fair to say "up to a third of Texas single family homes were bought as investments", rather than say "Wall Street" which infers some massive PE firm bought them up.

If you go to Canada, it's closer to 70% of recent purchased in the lower Niagara region of Ontario.

Rust is a stable language.

Stable features will never be removed or broken. If you don't use unstable features, and aren't relying on something that is unsound, your code will continue to compile. If it doesn't, this is considered a bug and should be reported.

This isn't just a hollow promise either, they run tests against most of the crates on crates.io when making changes to the language to ensure that old code is not accidentally broken.

Claiming that rust isn't a stable language is pure misinformation, but sadly not uncommon.

It's also worth noting that some of the language is specified informally, this is the "reference", there are also RFCs for new features that describe exactly how the feature is intended to work. This isn't a complete formal specification, and could use a lot of work, but I don't think a formal specification with a committee is any better than an informal reference, assuming the reference is exhaustive!
I don't understand how anyone can believe an argument that doesn't have a single fact in it.
> We have seen a significant decrease in total sales at San Francisco Centre from $455 million in 2019 to $298 million in Dec 2022 YTD, a period where Westfield Valley Fair in neighboring San Jose experienced a +66% increase in sales

Didn’t the Valley Fair mall finish a massive renovation/expansion during that period? It’s a weird comparison to make. Obviously sales are greatly improved when shoppers don’t have to walk through a construction zone anymore.
Is that the Southern hemisphere? It looks foreign to me.
> "The 12-tone system captures most small natural number ratios"

Notably absent are any ratios that involve a power of 7, and ratios that involve a power of 5 are noticeably out of tune.

> "and, as such, covers most non-western note systems as well (allowing for temperament differences)."

Temperament differences are pretty significant.

> "It's safe to say that less than 0.1% of all music and all composers or performers ever used anything else"

I don't know how many composers and performers are interested in carnotic music, Indonesian gamelan, traditional Turkish music, western music as practiced more than a couple hundred years ago, barbershop harmony, lap steel, slide guitar, Appalachian dulcimer, and so on but I think 0.1% is very much an under-count.

Even if you're 100% focused on mainstream western music, guitarists will do things like tune their G string 15 cents flat or so because it sounds better for some chords. (I haven't tried that one. I prefer to just replace the fingerboard, re-arranging all the frets so I can play guitar in proper just intonation.)

> "and they wouldn't be using synthesizers for that task."

Well, that's the problem right there. Synthesizers should be the first choice for microtonal music, not the last one. There's no technical reason for synthesizers to be biased towards 12-EDO or any other specific tuning, it's just a historical accident that the protocol we use is one that wasn't designed with any other use case in mind.
> people are usually saying that they want all legal behavior to be allowed on the platform

People saying that are generally people who have not tried to run a for-profit social media site. Or even thought about it much, really.

To have a functioning social media platform these days, you need a lot of users and a lot of advertisers. This means you need the site to feel reasonably safe and welcoming to all concerned. However, many of those people and brands do not want to spend time around many of the things that are in a typical T&S policy. Which is why all major platforms converged on pretty similar policies, and why the anything-goes platforms tended to stay niche and look like incel Klan rallies.

It's not like Jack Dorsey really cared about anybody but Jack Dorsey. Ceteris paribus, he would have been happy to stick with Twitter's original "free speech wing of the free speech party" ethos, if only because it saved a lot on moderation costs. But he recognized that his platform could either have the racist shitgibbons or the people that said shitgibbons got their kicks from attacking, by which I mean the great bulk of humanity.

There's also the moral and practical vacuity of treating "whatever the legislature voted on" as the correct standard for anything except criminal enforcement, but let that pass for now.

The problem with the nucleus is that the internal dynamics there are impossible to describe with any reasonable precision.

If for the electron shell we can calculate pretty much anything we want from the first principles (energy spectra, the half-lives of unstable and metastable states, etc.), we can't do anything similar for the nucleus.

For example, we can't compute half-lives of unstable nuclear isotopes. The best models are on the level of "imagine that a nucleus is a drop of water" or "assume that a nucleus is a potential well that contains an alpha particle".

And no, this is not a fundamental theory issue. We can describe the behavior of individual nuclear particles just fine at the energies that exist within the nucleus. It's their interaction that is completely baffling.
