Pretty much the only thing I use crave for. They haven't been too strict on password sharing so I've been using a family member's account to watch it. In the end it may not even matter, supposedly they'll be losing the series in Canada soon.
That’s just a reality. I tend to not binge shows. Rather I try to slot them into one of my weekly slots.

Since I limit my weekly intake, I also start shows late. A typical conversation for even a new show is as along the lines of “Oh yeah, we binged the entire thing!”

I’ve learned it’s not worth talking about the show to someone who’s seen it since they’re more often than not bursting wanting to talk about something I haven’t seen. Or 2 months later when I’m done, they’ve forgotten a bunch of it anyway, moving on to other stuff I haven’t seen.

It’s not like the old days when there were forums for shows like “Lost” just abuzz with speculation.

Thanks! While far more tedious than just being able to see HTML in a browser when going to a URL (expected behavior for the last 30 years), zygolophodon does seem like the least worst option. I've now installed it on my newer machines which have python 3.6. For older computers I guess I'll keep appending .rss to the user profile URL and and finding the relevant post by eye (or just ignore mastadon URLs).
Unlike almost everything else in the metaverse space, Second Life is profitable. One of the owners refers to it as a "cash machine".

Even Roblox loses money. IPO at $70, today $39. They spent too much buying market share.
So either pay $240 for 10 different “channels” or pay $120 for one…
Since this is so longwinded, here’s a language-model-generated summary from kagi.com:

- Being anti-mimetic means having the freedom to counteract negative forms of mimetic desire that lead to unhealthy obsessions and never-satisfied striving.

- Anti-mimetic actions are a sign of contradiction to a culture that likes to float downstream.

- Scheduling activities at off-peak times can make experiences less stressful and more enjoyable.

- Reading books that challenge your views can broaden your perspective.

- Filtering feedback and only taking what you need helps you move forward, not live in the past.

- Investing in deep silence can help people embrace their purpose and reduce chasing bad ideas.

- Setting up an environment away from mimetically popular locations can help escape negative forces of mimesis.

- Speaking the truth, even when inconvenient, is foundational to living an anti-mimetic life.

- Developing the skill of de-escalation is important but rarely possessed.

- Discovering and living out your personal calling helps you navigate the mimetic noise of the world.

Looking over the points, it almost feels like the source material might have been generated by a language model in the first place. It’s a bunch of buzzwords and typical listicle-style advice tied to “anti-memisis” :/
By that reasoning, traffic safety is increased by moving the bar from downtown to 30 minutes down the road when in fact it should be at the corner, so people can walk and leave the car at home. Good to have the misconception cleared up.
It's turtles all the way down.

> do not humans interact with them directly but compilers...

So compiler programmers deal with them and humans designed them to be dealt with by the people that write compilers.

There's a major selection bias active here - the e-graph is a reflection of the language (and perhaps the target ISA) and its complexities.

Since at each level it's likely to have been designed for comprehensibility it seems to me unlikely that any given example will be buried in the intractable heart of NP.

But as I said, it's a hunch.
I’d seriously consider paying them a fee for that! I certainly hope they go in that direction.
Reminds me of those explorers who paid the natives for every dinosaur bone they turned in, only to be horrified when they realized the natives were breaking the bones into as many pieces as possible to collect as much currency as possible.
I know that keeping this story and discussion on Hacker News was a conscious decision from the mod (dang). But I still want to express my opinion that this kind of content is exactly what I'm not here for. Many things are interesting but still don't belong on Hacker News.

I'm looking especially for IT stuff, computer science and startup related content, but I'm also happy for all other kind of technological or scientifically interesting content.

I'm not looking for politics, religion or daily news.
It reminded me of the story of a famous (within that community) Appalachian Trail through-hiker who went by the name "Baltimore Jack" (from the Springstein lyric, "had a wife and kids in Baltimore, Jack. I went out for a ride and I never went back.) that I read some time ago. He had abandoned his family to essentially live on the trail and eventually died there, seemingly of exposure. I googled it and it's from the same publication, so I'm sensing a theme.
I take the stance that getting it right is implicitly understood to be primary, as it should be in science
Having a middleman cut out and being able to watch on whatever device you want, whenever you want, is not things staying the same.

My experience of being able to search the TV app on iOS or tvOS or macOS and then being given the option to play, buy, or rent the media is pretty seamless. And subscriptions are simple to cancel, so starting them is not a concern.

Complete opposite of dealing with cable/satellite TV contracts and advertising breaks when watching stuff.
This will always fail because the premise is wrong. Consciousness does not arise in the brain. Brain activity correlates to impressions in consciousness, but consciousness is not a “thing”. Consciousness is equivalent to identity. You are that which sees all this that you see. Consciousness IS you. You don’t arise in your own brain.
There was a recent post here linking to the blog “The Secret Sauce behind 100K context window in LLMs: all tricks in one place” : https://blog.gopenai.com/how-to-speed-up-llms-and-use-100k-c...

My impression is that combining all of those, plus all of the post training quantisation and sparsity tricks into a new model with more training compute than GPT would yield an amazing improvement. Especially the price/performance would be expected to dramatically improve. The current models are very wasteful during inference, there’s easily a factor of ten improvement available there.
The entirety of Canada has the population similar to that of California -- a single US state. Probably has the road miles equivalent of the western United States.
Conceptually agree. Although my car and even phone GPS regularly think I’m on a road that I’m not actually on so I don’t think this would execute well.

To give an example, when I’m on a highway bridge it things I’m on a city street below. Or when I’m on a highway it gets confused and thinks I’m on an access road. The difference is legal speed limits can be 40 mph in these cases and I’m not sure what would happen if car was randomly governing my speed based to a lower than expected speed and then bouncing back and forth. There’s probably a lot of situations where the tech we’ve become comfortable with still isn’t quite ready for this. I’m in the camp of believing speed limits aren’t inherently correct/safe except in trying to reduce variation of speed within the population of autos. I feel like this could increase variation.
By extension anytime an airline raises prices it kills children; reducing prices saves children.

QED
Generally agreed but I clicked today because I am interested in what engineers - and real people in my community - think about this topic.
You're comparing a cheap consumer grade 6core overclocked well beyond design operating at full load to a high end datacenter chip designed for performance and efficiency under idle conditions.

Your statement is correct, but I'm not sure the comparison really means much?
An excellent question!
Have you considered the unintended consequences of this sort of authoritarian reactionary policy?
This observation is spot on. I was initially euphoric about LLMs like ChatGPT, but it is increasingly becoming obvious that unless you are yourself an expert in the subject you are using the LLM for and can therefore easily verify its accuracy, the output is not reliable enough to use without extensive manual verification. More importantly it is difficult to incorporate its output into larger automated workflows.
> The USSR rapidly went from a relatively backwards nation that had been devastated by WW2 to a highly industrialized world superpower.

Imperial Russia was one of the most powerful countries in the world prior to WW1 and industrialising very rapidly. One of the reasons the Germans went for it when they did was because they knew that any later they could not beat the Russian Empire. To manage to become a “highly industrialised world superpower” starting with the Russian Empire of 1913 is not an achievement.

> Cuba has been hamstrung by US embargoes.

No other countries embargo the US and oceanic transport is so cheap they transport onions to Ireland from Australia at a profit. Cuba is a dump because of its government, not because of the US.

> Unfortunately I’m not knowledgeable enough about Venezuela to say.

Pretty standard communist story. Secret police, middle class and educated flee in their millions, economy collapses.
> the document itself defines what a constitution would be, and lays out the requirements for ratifying it, which haven’t been met.

It does neither, no.

It states the requirements under which it can (not must) be replaced, and it's a favorite party trick of people trying to delegitimize Germany to pretend that somehow means the current state isn't legitimate.
What is GNU pass? It looks like people use it to refer to https://www.passwordstore.org/ which isn’t a GNU project?
Presumably the original commenter wouldn’t accept the idea of subjective value or otherwise they wouldn’t have asked that question. Saying “I find value in it” is sufficient only for those who have bought the premise that value isn’t something up for them to decide.
Interestingly, one of his books is on my (ridiculously long) to-read list and his first book (about a murderer who assumed Finkel’s identity while on the run in Mexico) sounds interesting enough that if/when I get to the Finkel book on my list, if I like the writing, I’ll likely add the other books to my list.
Tough to say as the article was about a Frenchman.

Speed is an impact multiplier when the accident happens, but I doubt speed in and of itself is the root cause of most accidents. The article itself points to Speed causing 14% of costs vs. Alcohol + Distraction accounting for 49% of costs. Another study showed speeding was involved in 9% of property-damage-only crashes and 13% of crashes with injuries or fatalities in 2021[1].

I'd rather law enforcement spend their limited time cracking down on drunk driving and all the various distractions that actually tend to lead to accidents, rather than the easy job of "farming" people going 10mph over the limit for steady revenue, or nerfing cars to some arbitrary limit. And not just drunk driving. I took a bus ride the other day and just people-watched into cars, and about 60-80% of drivers were scrolling on their smartphones (in-hand) while driving. If you fined every single one of them $100 every time they picked up their phones, you could probably fully fund your city's public safety budget. Maybe the entire city's budget.

Something is off here… are you based in the Bay Area?

I literally have PDF copies of offers I received in 2018 from both Facebook and Google for L5 roles in the $400k range, and things just went significantly crazier since then. And I am the most average engineer you can imagine, with most of my peers in a similar situation.

I cannot comprehend how your TC can just be $250k at Google after 5 years of refreshers. That’s like L3 comp in the pocket of the organization I’m at.
We used SMW at Liquipedia, an esports wiki. The idea was that all the data about players and teams could be exposed through SMW. Unfortunately we're now in the process of transitioning away from it due to major performance issues and data inconsistencies. It might be ok on smaller wikis but for us it's become a source of a lot of problems.
Too many idle people is never a Good Thing(tm). It breeds insurrections, conspiracy theories, and the kind that go postal against random people.
It's not at all clear by definition of the inherent dangerousness involved.
That would be 500,000 people buying 1 month of GPT-4. I think they blew past that in the first week.
Manufacturing a car to travel only at the prevailing speed limit is "authoritarian" and "reactionary?"
There are infinite ways of dealing with a generalized lack of hope and respect, but most people only see a limited set of options:

1. Work harder

2. Work smarter, maybe invest in attaining a profession or a trade

3. Make other changes like getting a haircut, wardrobe, yoga, or working out

4. Give up

The problem is when too many people see option 4 as their only option. Disgruntled, dissatisfied, broke dudes who aren't getting also tend to turn to crimes, pathologies, and distractions of despair that also increase morbidity. This downward eventually turns into a cost and burden on society. If you want a healthy society, make sure everyone has something to do and is getting some. Hell, the Netherlands has or had subsidies for disabled people to receive professional sex services. That's pretty damn humane.
As much as I prefer electrification, EUs policy on this front is clear. The shipping industry is one of the cited primary motivators for the EUs current Hydrogen infrastructure initiatives, such as the "Fit for 55" program.

Just as the EU are making moves on de-carbonizing road infrastructure, you do realize that people are thinking about the maritime aspect also? These net-zero 2050 commitments include maritime transport.
I’m not convinced the language part of my brain isn’t just a complex probability machine, just with different trade-offs.
It’s using tokens not concepts. ‘Apple’ the token could apply to a company or fruit, but tokens aren’t concepts. It’s a fairly fundamental limitation on the approach that’s most noticeable while feeding it data it can’t basically copy from it’s vast training data.

Thus the sharp drop off where it can for example guess the correct answer to some math problems yet get others that are conceptually identical completely wrong.
Similarly, here in Australia there have been some news stories in recent weeks concerning pro-fascist sentiments among Croatian Australians: https://www.smh.com.au/national/healing-wounds-the-jewish-an...

Whether we are talking about Ukrainian nationalists, or Croatian nationalists, or Finns, or whoever else – if the Nazis are the only people willing to be your allies, what do you do?

And in India: Subhas Chandra Bose, one of the leaders of the Indian independence movement, chose to ally himself with Hitler and Imperial Japan. Many Indians today still view him as a hero, and do not think his willingness to fight with the Axis condemns him. At the controversial Yasukuni Shrine in Japan, where Japan's war criminals are deified, there is a statute honouring the Indian judge Radhabinod Pal, who was the only judge at the Tokyo War Crimes Trial to acquit all the defendants. Through the memories of Bose and Pal, the governments of India and Japan have found something to bond over–their shared sympathy for the losing side in the Second World War.
I buy groceries. I try to buy what I need so I have enough but I'm not wasting anything. Having enough is more important than not wasting anything. So, there is always a non zero amount of food I have to throw out as it didn't get eaten.

I could optimize this to zero, but it would likely cost me _more_ to do that than the return would be _worth_. I suspect the same would be true here.
Nor do I much about them, but I suppose the "meta" issue is:

Why should ANYONE remotely glorify this AT ALL? It's just stupid.
Richard Feynman had an interesting observation about the way in which people differ in how they process thoughts and experiences: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jm92w2DlflA&t=41s
Because there are lots of factors that are unjust as criterion for moneylending. (This is how you get redlining, for instance).

For instance, if people in location X tend to be bad at paying back their loans, I still don't think it should be legal to purchase location data from some weather app and then incorporate the amount of time someone's phone spends in location X into some creditworthiness score. One might argue that allowing this practice makes credit more accessible for everyone else because we don't have to comingle with all the people in location X, but I still think it should be a prohibited practice (and it is - in the US).

In developing countries with little regulatory sophistication, the law is simply not ready to deal with these things - they are busy dealing with murders, drug dealing, etc., not consumer finance.

Those must have been some expensive plates. We did a vanity run of a small book and it was 10k copies for about $20k around 2000 or so - and half that was the plates.
256 hyperthreads may be not exactly comparable to 192 dedicated cores, but it depends on the type of load, and needs measurement.

The AMD part's power budget is about 2.7W per core, and Ampere's, 1.8W. None of these cores look like very high speed. Their performance will also likely depend heavily on efficiency of caches and access to RAM, not just cores' internals.
What I fail to understand is that these authors were presumably okay sending the paper to Neurips (a top tier conference). I am assuming this based on the paper being in Neurips submission template. And now when the cat is out of the bag in open they are denouncing it.
I've tried reading the JSON too but typically remember to append .rss to a user profile URL more quickly than I remember or type /api/v1/.../statuses?exclude_replies=true etc (or .json to the profile url if that instance supports that).

Both are vastly inferior and tedious ways requiring me to type a new URL. It is not controverserial to say the primary purpose of a web browser is to display HTML. Most URLs resolve to HTML pages. It's been this way for 30 years. Only in the last 10 has this radical new application view of the web been creating walled gardens on top of the old document model web. And that's mostly for commercial/profit-motive reasons so it's sad to see non-profit motive software cargo culting SPA only dev.

It also means post v3 mastadon is inherently incompatible with indieweb standards like webmention since there is no page to check for URLs.
I assume the Netflix AI team will develop an agent that convinces your AI to agree to a more expensive plan. They are known for their technical excellence afterall.

Avatars do have health points, and it's possible to get killed, but only in combat areas. Those exist, as games within Second Life. But ordinary residential, retail, and display areas have that feature turned off.

NHTSA says here [0] that it's a factor in 29% of fatalities.

I think there's also reason to suspect that number is underreported. The responding officer has to make the judgement on the scene that speed was a factor and decide to write that down on the accident report.

We should really be doing a lot more tracking of this kind of data using telemetry in the cars themselves (ideally as required by insurance).

The 512 bit registers are the least important part of AVX-512. The much more important parts are the 32 registers, mask registers (these are great for quicksort), compressed displacement (which shrinks the instruction size for unrolled code), and a bunch of other goodies.

pass is a command that simplifies reading and writing sensitive text to encrypted files using GPG encryption.
It’s most often used to decrypt passwords and API credentials, copying them to the system clipboard for pasting elsewhere without writing the plaintext to the filesystem.

Paired with an encryption key stored in an isolated device like a Yubikey, it makes for a powerfully secure password system — if you like using the command line for your passwords.

I don’t know of any iOS apps that do this, but I now want one.

Just mind the isolation level of concurrent queries which may be running. By default you are probably fine since it's usually snapshot isolation mode (will only see committed results as of query start) but there are other modes that break this.
To borrow the form of the GP comment, there is no particular reason a phone should allow itself to be used when its owner is driving a car. Creating some arrangement of sensors and systems that could lock the phones of drivers may not be straight forward and would require buy-in from both phone manufacturers and car manufacturers, but seems possible in principle. The car could scan the drivers' face, then interrogate nearby phones, asking them if the driver's face matches the phone's owner. The phone could then lock itself if it does. There would be technical and privacy hurdles to overcome, but nothing impossible.
I doubt Zuck doing BJJ is a publicity stunt though it does present a nice opportunity to repair his image. As for the cage match, I have respect for anyone willing to enter the modern colosseum to fight for glory.

Real funny to see this guy linking to a Bozo's Post article trashing Elon and Zuck in the same breath though.
But we still should have more. Even many of the ruling class who have among their highest priorities the goal of shifting the blame and burden for climate change onto the commoners believe that birth rates are so low that even immigration is needed to increase populations in the most highly polluting per-capita countries. So if climate change is one of the greatest threats facing humanity, the population crisis must be even greater.
