The Original Lyrics to “Hark the Herald Angels Sing”
Mathematical proofs are in some way algorithms put in practice. And another useful thing they have is not leaving possibilities out.

I think that those two things are useful mental models to have when learning programming, things that would be useful to have more as built in patterns than thinking step by step. And in that sense is useful to have a background in math. Maybe it doesn’t need to be too advanced, but at least at the level of thinking naturally in that way.
Sparse networks are the future, there's definitely a few major algorithmic hurdles we'll have to cross before they end up a real option but long term they will dominate (after all they already do in the living world).

All our current approaches rely on dense matrix multiplications. These approaches necessitate a tremendous amount of communication bandwidth (and low latency collectives). This is extremely challenging and expensive to scale O(n^2.3).

The constraints of physics and finance make significantly larger models out of reach for now.

Hmm, it seems that this service has been around a while. Is it worthwhile? It seems amazingly useful. Do they charge fees? Subscriptions?

Would this be a silver bullet, of sorts, for the kinds of HN posters who come here to say that their Google or Apple account has been disabled without recourse? It seems like this service specializes in that sort of thing.

Yeah, I’ve worked at both FAANG and non-FAANG series C companies, and made between $450k-$550k between 2018 and 2021. And I wasn’t even staff level.

I decided I was tired of all that bureaucracy and decided to join a series C startup making $230k + worthless stock options. It was fun for a year, but it actually hurts now. And there’s been a bunch of nickling and diming on perks and benefits too, and no comp adjustments.

And here in NYC it’s surprisingly easy to blow through that paycheck. Didn’t feel that way when I lived in SF.
Well I haven't ever used next.js in particular, but if I go open a .tsx file and add <input type="file" onChange={[final vanilla version code]} />, it works fine.

t gets inferred as `EventTarget & HTMLInputElement`

The only error is that "myImageElem" isn't defined by the snippet, which is to be expected.

If I insert your first snippet, it complains that (e:Event) isn't the right type, but (e) or (e:any) makes the whole thing happy (except "myImageElem").

If I remove the imprecise "Event" typing on e, then your first snippet can be simplified to:

let t = e.target;
if (t.files && t.files[0]) {

If I keep (e: Event), then the code with "instanceof" works, as does:

let t = e.target as HTMLInputElement;
if (t.files && t.files[0]) {
Yea that is true, I use a customized version of the write-good and Microsoft styles, but for math formulas and such something like latex is better IMO ( though possible to recreate with vale too probably)
This discussion explicitly started with the assertion that "consciousness is just an emergent phenomenon resulting from any sufficiently powerful cognitive system (either biological or artificial) with sufficient inputs of its environment and, crucially, of itself"; note carefully the word "any", as that's what this downthread discussion has been pushing hard against, and what the thought experiment you are arguing against is itself directed at. You, instead, seem to be very much in agreement and seem to be in alignment with this other side thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36462646

> I have had a TBI, thankfully I made a full recovery, but I am not at all sympathetic to the TBI-justifies-deathwish this article hints at.

I have two problems with this sentence.

You had TBI, that doesn’t mean you know everything about it though. Brains are complicated, and they can get injured in many different ways. I’m glad that you have recovered fully, maybe he was not so lucky?

The other is that the article doesn’t say that his TBI “justifies” a deathwish. Rather than it explains his behaviour. It also clearly puts into context that this is disputed by the subject himself, but the explanation is supported by the mother.

> This guy just seems like a reckless fool

That is I think a valid observation. But one can always look one layer deeper. What made him a reckless fool? This is what I believe the article is about.

> pursuing likes on Instagram out of some stubborn unwilligness to deal with his depression head on.

What does “dealing with depression head on” mean to you? As far as I know there is no one-size-fit-all solution for depression. There are many who gets better following standard care, but also many who do not. It sounds he tried therapy and possibly many other things. Maybe free soloing was his way of dealing with his depression head on?

Would you rather like him to be miserable but alive than feeling better but dead sooner than you think he should have died?

> You also need to account for significant kernel CPU use, like hardware interrupt handlers (e.g., NIC rx) running on some cores.

In a lot of loads, it doesn't matter that much, because the application uses way more CPU than packet handling... But if it does matter, you really want to get things lined up as much as possible. Each CPU core gets one NIC queue pinned and one application thread pinned and the connections correctly mapped so the fast path never communicates to other cores. I'm not tuned into current NICs though, I don't know if you can get 128 queues on NICs now. If you have two sockets, then you also have the fun of Non-Uniform PCI-E Access...

When I was working on this (for a tcp mode HAProxy install), the NICs did 16 queues, and I had dual 12 or 14-core CPUs, so socket 0 got all its cores busy, and socket 1 just got a couple work threads and was mostly idle. Single socket, power of 2 cores is a lot better to optimize, but I had existing hardware to reuse.
Loan companies could model a population's exact historical credit risk by combining extensively detailed loan data, right? But they can't use that calculated credit risk to issue loans because it probably contains off-limits attributes like gender, race, religion, etc.

What about developing their "clean" model by minimizing errors between it and the actual model? The clean model wouldn't contain any regulated inputs but will be as close as you can get to the real thing.

> Do you really lament your own death or do you have a feeling of 'I will be continued.'

The rabbi is very blessed and I am happy for him, but it is important to note that this line involves an equivocation of two meanings of "continuation", using the figurative meaning (in the sense of "legacy") to suggest the literal meaning (immortality). Legacy is all fine and good, but it is no substitute for immortality. Furthermore, legacy without immortality merely passes the buck: those children and grandchildren, too, will die. The human species and the universe will probably be extinguished. So even the value of legacy really presupposes the immortality of the human person. To wit, a true materialist, trapped, as he is, in bad metaphysics, cannot take comfort in legacy on his death bed. His life, and the lives of everyone else, are reducible to nothing but meaningless atoms bouncing around aimlessly in a void, temporary arrangements that briefly coagulate and then dissolve. Nothing lasts, nothing progresses, nothing makes any difference, all is senseless flux. Perhaps the materialist simply won't care about his passing, as it will be as meaningless as the rest of his brief existence.

Worth comparing to the popularity of Brazilians moving to Australia where the population doubled in 5 years 2014-19 (24k to 51k) and close to doubled in the two five year periods before that. Though has reduced slightly after through the COVID period

https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/people/population/australi...

The countries do not have much shared history and are exotic to each other, but at the same time have much similarity in size, weather, colonial history, etc.

Over the same time Brazillian barbecue 'Churrasco' restaurants have gained popularity in Australia (maybe a little more authentic than 'outback stakehouse').
A little context would make this figure more meaningful. Like how much productivity resulted from having cars to begin with.
>Can someone explain why so many companies these days struggle to make a profit?

Beside the obvious risk of running a company (competition, incompetence etc.) There is excessive regulation, taxes, paperwork etc. I estimate that cumulatively most of us pay around 3/4 of our earnings to regulation, taxes and other forms of bureaucracy.

I gave up about 20% in and skimmed some of the rest before giving up entirely. This is a very long article which has no foundation in reality. The author’s entire premise is completely ignorant of anything south of or even close to the equator. There are many areas of the world where Christianity is growing exponentially. Those places just aren’t Europe or North America.

I’d almost guess the whole thing was written by AI.

I think you are mistaken. Follow the money. The Biden administration allocated a lot of money for nuclear energy. Much more than the Trump administration or the Bush administration. Could they do more? Of course, one can always do more, for example, they could restart the Yucca mountain nuclear waste repository, which was shut down not because of scientific or technological reasons, but simply because it was defunded by politicians. But still, the Biden administration did more for nuclear than probably the last 5 administrations combined.
Also, the units are wrong. It's $340B/year.
We laugh. It's almost a tradition when visiting to America to go to one and see what they make of Australia.

> and obviously police and ambulances (and fire trucks) doing their jobs don't have to follow the sign.

Obviously? I disagree there and marked those as violating the rule. If we are to take the rule literally and logically, then those examples clearly violate the rule. Nowhere in that game did it say that police, ambulances and fire trucks get a free pass. There isn't anything obvious about that. You're bringing your own context and knowledge/interpretation of the world into this. The game also clearly stated that we should ignore our own local laws (and religion) when answering the questions.
There are two steps to building a conversational LLM. The first is pretraining on an enormous amount of text. The second is fine-tuning, which usually involves a combination of a small amount of high-quality human data and reinforcement learning from human feedback (in practice, from another neural net trained to model human feedback).

This paper is about the quality of the pretraining. It is not necessarily going to be correlated with your subjective judgment of how good the model is. A good pretrained model without any fine-tuning will be very difficult to use for most purposes, because it won't do a very good job following instructions. However, assuming that the fine-tuning is done well, the quality of the pretraining determines the limits of the capabilities of the model. This tech report shows that the team did a good (or at least reasonable) job with the pretraining.

The primary audience for this post and tech report is (or at least should be) ML researchers that Inflection would like to recruit and technically knowledgeable investors, not end-users. To remain competitive, Inflection is gonna have to train a 10x more expensive model someday; OpenAI and Google already have. They need talent and investor $ to do that.

Ask HN: Searchable Screenshot History
Hi all,

New(ish) poster here. Wondering what tools you recommend for a searchable + sharable history of my computer screen.

I'd like something that takes a screenshot every second and then allows me to semantically search to find things.

Use Case:

1. Bug fix - I'd like to be able to describe a bug and then see any screenshots related to similar issues I've run into the past. [Easy]
2. Post hoc workflow sharing - Someone ask my workflow a week after I've done something. [Hard]
3. Daily updates - a summary of work done each day. [Hardest]

Thanks for the suggestions!

I made that much for 4 years and have a total of 10 years work experience. I’m nowhere near retired. And I’ve been single the entire time.

$500k is more like $275k after taxes. Assuming $60k/yr in living expenses, which is pretty frugal in the Bay Area, that’s barely over $1M in savings in 5 years. Let’s say $1.3M after return on investments over 5 years.

Nowhere close to retirement money anywhere in the US.

They went on to quote a tweet from the author of the bot, on the same account, about where to find his new home for the bot. It has ~700 likes and ~60 comments.

From this I assume that the number of people among those 173,000 followers, who will actually be sad to see some random novelty bot like this disappear, is around 10k people or so at the moment. But it’s not possible to really know, as Twitter may have intentionally reduced the reach of the account around the same time as they revoked API access, or sometime prior.

Whether or not the virus escaped from a lab, I think it's pretty bad to call these people nutjobs. Their theory is as plausible as the popular "wet market" one. Their theory doesn't require any craziness or suspension of reality to work. Why call them nutjobs? You can disagree without insulting people.

I visited Brazil last winter. I had a great time and it is a beautiful country, but I must say the food was a bit disappointing. The popularity of American chain restaurants was surprising to me as well. McDonald and Burger king ice-cream is hugely popular, to the point these restaurants have a dedicated ordering counter just for desserts, and there was often a line of people waiting to order!
It's true, Americans will fry anything. We'll fry your shoe.
The big problem with that rule, and it is a common theme in most house rules, and in many games other than Monopoly is that it puts back into play money that should have been destroyed.

Games have a fine tuned balance between resource sinks and sources, if you break the balance, for example by removing a sink, as it is the case here, you break the game. Here it tends to result in much longer and boring games.

Plus, it is a poor comeback mechanism. If you don't have property, cash alone is not enough to get you back into the game. Monopoly already has a limited but better designed comeback mechanism with "repair" cards.
