>The "failure modes" in humans do not show we lack the capacity.

Then they don't in LLMs too

>Yes, lol --- why do you think that is?

Being able to solve a changed common puzzle but also with different names than it would ever see in training is not an indication of a lack of ability lol. and changing names isn't the only way to get it out of memory, just the easiest/most straightforward. You can converse it out of there too but that doesn't work as often.
I can't wait till everyone is using this and we have absolutely zero idea whether or not it's actually translating things correctly or using it's own interpretations of things, going to be...awesomeeeeeeeee!
We could make a big list of people that are ready to buy a subscription. Everytime RHEL has an update:

* A subscription is purchased
* Download all the source rpm's.
* Put them on the internet
* RH terminates the license and the purchaser is put on a list
* goto next person on list and repeat.

A few thousand people would keep this going.
You should have a look at the prices for aircraft spares, even re-used ones, and how much the same item costs when sourced for production. And that is without adding another 50% to the price in orser to get lead times down from 15 weeks to 15 days, from 15 days to 15 hours.
It removes flouride as well, for better or worse -- one of very few available filters which do. (Some think flouride is good and some think it's bad.)

I have it, and purely ergonomically, it's the best filter I've ever used. It's also quite expensive with expensive filters that need replacing frequently.

Yes, if you want to have a "backup" card make sure you use it somewhat regularly.

So for example, a backup card you use for gas only, or a store-branded Mastercard that you only usually use at that store.

You still run the risk of a block, but it's reduced.

Identity federation is dead because most apps only support a handful of oauth providers aka Google or Facebook or Apple instead of letting you choose one yourself.

Identity federation also runs into the problem that oauth, etc don't let you have the same account on multiple oauth providers as a backup in case one of them shuts down.
And about how fake all the documentation is and about mob-like web of people involved in all of this.

Hmm. So, we don’t know if working and short term memory are even the same thing. We also cannot say for sure that the same type of processes would be handled by short term and long term memory, so it’s not clear that you can substitute one for the other or for the same stuff. Both memories could just be feeding working memory and other structures for processing but serve different things.

It also may well be that the opposite is true — STM is prioritized by people who haven’t learned to properly recruit for profound structures. Speed may well have been a survival advantage a million years ago, but it’s not clear that this hasn’t changed since.

We also don’t know if the computing model of the brain is even appropriate at all. Humans have always assumed that the latest state of technology can represent the brain: clay and waterworks, mechanics, computers, etc.

At the end of the day, we don’t know how much we actually know about how the brain works because we don’t know what we don’t know…
The US has the fourth highest debt:GDP ratio amongst OECD countries; only Japan, Greece, and Italy are higher, whose high debts are mainly due to severe economic problems, and are not offset by growth.

The US is unique in that (thus far) its massive deficit spending has been offset by growth, although it remains to be seen how long that’s sustainable.

In the early days of automated billing at the defense department there were a couple of ladies that figured out they could way over bill for small things like nuts and bolts. There’s an American Greed episode about it. They eventually got caught because they accidentally sent the same invoice twice and that flagged the system and triggered an investigation. Episode is from 2010

Investors don't take kindly to being duped. Elizabeth Holmes can tell you more.
Yeah, as soon as MBAs and financial investors get involved (which, for "inefficient" small companies, is just a matter of time) the companies change to be exploitative cancer on society like the rest.

There's whole industry looking for companies that are too nice to their employees and customers to buy, exploit, grab profits and leave a husk behind.
Exactly.
There are 'kind' and 'un-kind' readings of this situation.

For many years I swallowed the story that companies are a 'meritocracy', and got very upset when they were not (nepotism, hiring people that under-perform).

But then realized, maybe sometimes it is 'pragmatic'. It is more like 'moneyball', they are not hiring the 'best', but maybe they are hiring the 'known quantity'.

Sure, there is some cases where you can be mad at nepotism. But I tend to think people are generally good and trying to do the right thing. Sometimes the story goes "I don't know much about programming, but I'm going to hire my nephew because he seems smart", is innocent.
Apparently, the reason why some kernels don't pop is because they have too little moisture due to the hull not being perfect and the moisture escaping[1][2]. So it seems like it should be possible to somehow go through all the kernels and remove most of the unpoppable ones? Maybe make something that weighs each kernel and removes ones outside a range?

Because if people found out you were doing that you would lose vast numbers of paying customers, which would cost you a lot of money.
I'm neither a poet nor a playwright; I really don't know (but I'm glad he did).

Prosody - the musical, rhythmic quality of speech - is emphasised in verse. If a sentence runs over one-and-a-half lines, you can speak it as a normal sentence, with no pause after the first line and a pause in the middle of the second; the song-like quality will still come through, but it becomes easier for an audience to make sense of.

I think this applies to a lot of verse; not just Shakespeare's plays. If you read a sonnet like Ozymandias as a set of distinct lines, it sounds boring and stilted. If you speak it as a tale told by a traveller in a bar, it's much more engaging and exciting. The metre is carried by the words, they don't need help from the speaker.

Some of the best political speeches have that kind of song-like rhythm, although they aren't verse. I'm thinking of e.g. Churchill, or the Gettysburg Address.

A Snapshot of the HN Hivemind
The referenced resource is not created by me, but I found it fascinating and wanted to share.

Here are a few observations:
Observing figure 2 it's interesting to see that Finance and Health,Society and news receive the most engagement/comments. Anecdotally I've noticed that HN feels like it is becoming more business-focused.

Observing Figure 3, embeddings has an interesting way of clustering data, it would be interesting with a HN viewer that suggests adjacent posts in the embeddings sense.

Kudos to julien040 for creating this interesting dataset.
I think the same thing.

This should be a Matrix implementation with some implementation specific extensions that will be included in the standard in the future.

There's also massive benefits which are hard to directly measure.

Doing advanced, completely unprofitable basic research, for one thing. These are the sorts of projects that spawned GPS, the Internet, and IC manufacturing. Wasn't super profitable at the time of conception, but the military doesn't care. They need capability, irrespective of price. All of these technologies are now keystones of numerous gigantic American companies with billion dollar plus valuations.

Building up US based scientific and manufacturing know-how, for another. Plenty of people take the skills they learn at Raytheon or an FFRDC and use them to start profitable small businesses, which in turn employ more people and generate more tax revenue.

Not that I expect many people reading this to care about that. "Military spending bad" is too easy and convenient a slogan.

It doesn't solve every problem - there are a shitload of people in America receiving inadequate education, nutrition, and healthcare, for example. But it certainly helps keep a lot of Americans employed and paying their mortgages, which is a non-trivial benefit.

The Fed first said it would not increase rates, then it said inflation was transitory, then all of a sudden they did a 360 and increased the rates the highest in more than a decade, then they are saying they will keep increasing, then something will inevitably break, and then they will start cutting again despite their original plans.

Sure the banks should have managed risks better and this whole fiasco falls on SVB, but to be fair the Fed is doing a horrible job at setting expectations. Whoever trusted them in the past, got screwed. They are fundamentally a reactive organism that for some unknown reason talks as if they are the ones in charge.

Obviously they are not.

I live in Ontario. Many years ago, my boss did the "Bring your kids to work" thing, and his son took to hanging around my area. He was 12, and nearing lunch it became obvious that he could not read the analog clock.

I asked him straight up, and he told me "They don't teach how to read that kind of clock anymore."

I was shocked, because other than that, he was really intelligent and inquisitive. How could he have such an opt-in handicap?

I feel the same about not teaching cursive writing. Yes we may be more digital than before, but basic communication skills still reign supreme. Don't forget, they still teach how to read Roman Numerals, and how to do math without Google!
I'm guessing that what's happening here is that Boeing could be making more money doing something other than building trash cans, and so is sending an absurdly exorbitant quote to their customer to communicate "stop buying this".
I’m not a next.js or react fan at all, but “like always” is a weird thing to say about a feature that is Apache only.

While Apache was wildly popular htaccess files and cgi/fcgi adapters for php, Perl and such were everywhere. These days they’ve fallen out of favor and every cloud provider has their own version of this that you can use.

But let’s not pretend this is the way things have always been done, in my career pre-cloud I’ve worked with Apache and nginx, but also with Java servers (tomcat etc), phusion, IIS and occasionally custom app servers that would speak http.
Don't try to ham-fist scientific sounding wording into your (very unscientific) argument. This is not a disproof of anything because you failed to define what it means to have the ability to form rational thoughts.
With a definition, you would then wanna prove this for humans as a sanity check: Do we never make stupid mistakes? Ok, we make fewer of those than LLMs. Then what is the threshold for accuracy after which you consider a system to be intelligent? Do all humans pass that threshold, or do kids or people with a lower than average IQ fail?

Google itself isn't scamming the advertisers (much) - and individual scammers have no real way to use Google to make money for themselves.

Whereas anyone who signs up for an affiliate account can scam Amazon pretty easily, even just by routing all purchases they'd normally make through it for a discount.

Which is why I'm a bit annoyed they got rid of Amazon Smile, as it was a pretty decent way to "scam" Amazon with them fully knowing - you'd route through Smile and your charity would get the affiliate percentage.

I think the problem is that they're so disconnected from the value of money that they are willing to pay that much.
Ask HN: What is your favorite stack for solo web development and why?
In the face of increasing complexity of web development, I'm curious what tech stacks and libraries you like to use for solo (for fun or profit) data-backed web dev projects and why you prefer them.

Other than familiarity with the tech, what advantages do you experience? Any favorite resources for learning them?
Hahaha bankruptcy worse then death??? It's like saying a divorce will break you. Man, imagine these people living with common people who go through this stuff all the time.
Define "unusable".
Agreed. Alas, there is an aspect of over regulation. Does the trash can need to be certified to an extreme level of depth or can some solider in the machine shop quickly throw something together?

I think in many societies we’ve lost the wiggle room that allows for pragmatic solutions in the name of safety.

Maybe the risk reduction was worth it? Maybe not. But arguments for risk averse behavior tend to win more than 50% of the time in democratic societies which accumulates a kind of “risk-avoidance-debt”.
Why don't you ask Boeing why exactly they need to charge $50k per trash can, before justifying them with an imaginary explanation of how their economy works?

Coffee is surprisingly young in history. You'd think it was known (somewhere) since ancient or older times, but it seems to be since 1500s.

I think that means that drinking or eating cocoa is a much older custom than coffee?
> When OceanGate was founded the goal was to pursue the highest reasonable level of innovation in the design and operation of manned submersibles. By definition, innovation is outside of an already accepted system. However, this does not mean that OceanGate does meet standards where they apply, but it does mean that innovation often falls outside of the existing industry paradigm. [1]

Yes, being held accountable for poor behavior is clearly a problem for him.
An alternate explanation would be that their accountants used the average cost method, and the trash can got averaged with a bunch of actual E-3 Sentry planes, or expensive component systems, or something.
If by "news" they are referring to propaganda outlets like themselves, then that's about the only good news to come out of this bill.

>Well, yes. They produce random output that adhere to statistical models.

Not really. Nothing random about the output of LLMs. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41587-022-01618-2

>Certainly not? Composite systems that leverage LLMs can do a lot of things - but AFAIU LLMs will likely never rationalize or be able to "add numbers" in the normal sense; they can count only in as much they know that 1,2,3,4 is more probably coming after "count to four" than 10,2,4.

LLMs can add numbers just fine. arithmetic is one of the easiest domains to test on data it'd never have seen in training.

Why would it be? Making even consumer products is much harder than it seems.

Just look at the myriad failed Kickstarter projects that tried to make consumer stuff. Even getting something normal made in China can be serious work. And far more if you actually want to do a good job of it. Linus Tech Tips put a surprising amount of work into making a screwdriver.

Then consider that the military probably has a bunch of requirements like "this can't break into sharp shards" and "it can't emit toxic smoke if it burns", and they'll want that to be proven. Certifying all those things is a whole job on its own.

Sorry for that. Forgot to include it in the drawbacks. I tried the editor as-is on iOS and it wasn't a good experience. All the menus (for blocks and inline) just mess with the OS's built-in menus and aren't good for touch. I'm working on a dedicated layout for mobile, though it'll likely only go so far. For mobile it's really difficult to create a compelling WYSIWYG editor on the Web.

Plus, for Vrite Editor, the Monaco Editor used for code snippets doesn't officially support mobile (and it's a hit or miss in my experience) so it'll likely have to be disabled there.
