If you like thinking about this sort of thing, there are several (3-6) good episodes of the Lex Fridman podcast that talk about these issues. There's also one that discusses the development of life on earth, it's very interesting and makes it sound like a miracle that we ended up with complex multi-cellular lifeforms.
No, you don't need to pay with attention either. The ad pays out when the ad is displayed. If you stop the playing of the ad, they don't get paid. If you leave the TV on and go to the bathroom, or even if you change the channel, the TV station still gets paid.

You don't owe the advertiser anything unless they're paying you directly. You owe the content creator (a youtube channel) and the content distributor (youtube).

The advertisers are aware of this and it's calculated into their rates. If it's an attentive view, the rates are much, much higher.
Since CAPTCHAs are mostly over (or need a frequently changing complex mousetrap), ads should only be billed on paid sales and CPI, it would eliminate CPC and CPM fraud because these business models can no longer survive the onslaught of generative fraud.

I ride the bus almost every day to work, my satisfaction is pretty high but I am using it almost exclusively to commute to a "9-5" kind of job. If you consider the hassle of parking at the other end it certainly saves time.

My son works a "5-2" shift at the other educational institution in time and we had to find him a car (1996 Buick Park Avenue) so he could make it on his schedule. (Also, if you looked at the schedule you might think you could make the transfer from downtown to Ithaca College but the timing doesn't work and you have to wait 40 minutes and it's definitely possible to walk up the hill in that time.)

My employer pays for my bus pass but recently the fare machines have been busted on 90% of the buses so practically the bus is fare free for everyone at the moment.

Once in a while I do some other adventure on the bus, I did a sleep study at the hospital for instance and it was easy to catch the bus at the hospital, catch some breakfast downtown, then take another bus to work. Bus service on the triangle between the downtown, Cornell, and the mall is also excellent. (4x an hour!) However, if the bus doesn't fit your schedule and destination it is useless to.

Uptake is nowhere near enough to "change the world", I catch the bus at this "Dollhouse village"

which is almost a perfect situation for transit-based development, on a good day five people show up, today it was me and one other person, it's a drop in the bucket compared to the number of cars you see parked there.
I guess it's a similar thing as "Fake News". Yes there are lots of fake news but it is the providers of actual fake news that mostly cry about that. It is those who say they are simply providing "Alternate Facts". Not facts but alternate facts.

It is "projection" right? Co-opt the terms to make them meaningless. I wonder if there are studies or books about it, and how the society at large could fight back against dis-information.
How does that explain the fact that an F-15 flying several times faster than any commercial or private jet was not able to catch up to it? Not to mention the rapid vertical ascent and mid air rotation. These are not idiots, folks. These pilots and carrier crew members know the difference between a 757 or private jet and something else.

I can easily run LLaMA 13B on my 6GB VRAM/16GB RAM laptop using llama.cpp (specifically Kobold.cpp as the frontend).

I can barely run 33B, but anything more than 800 context and I oom. But it would run very comfortably on a bigger GPU or a 24GB+ laptop.

Theoretically some phones can comfortably handle 13B on mlc-llm though in practice its not really implemented yet.

The entire article is about the controversies and difficulties of defining consciousness, and the hypotheses of neural correlates, and at what stage of evolution those correlates appeared.

So the literal thing you seem to be snarkily complaining about, is precisely what the article is trying to directly address. With various competing scientific definitions.

And if that's the biggest perceived problem with SQL, then SQL isn't going anywhere.

It can't just be a little better than SQL, especially in terms of syntactic aesthetics; it has to be substantially and provably better than SQL to the point where companies are willing to pay for retraining, folks are willing to buy books and classes about it, and database engine developers have to consider it worthwhile to implement.

I don't see PRQL coming close to reaching that bar.
My favorite equation is just

It's a feedback loop though "happy" and "productive" are all complex equations in their own right. Also there's a soft cap on productivity and happiness.

The same way this is a prototype heavily optimized for this record, if the point was to reproduce it with an EV we'd probably heavily optimize for regenerative energy, possibly lower speeds and solar panels.

I was wondering how Guinness Record would deal with such a category, and the answer seems to be that they just don't. Most of their electric vehicle records have either a time limit, or no refueling/single charge limitation

In this particular case, the turning and spinning just looks like artifacting in my "expert" opinion. I guess it doesn't help that the flight crew audio states it is spinning, but both things can be true. I've seen artifacting like this on FLIR footage a number of times.

Completely consistent and unified UX and text editing (GitHub has this, atlassian doesn't). All text editing is rich multi-modal that is basically what you see in Facebook posts (i.e. you can add a bunch of images easily, it all previews immediately) w/ programmer-friendly extensions (e.g. code formatting, markdown w/ live preview etc).

The ticketing system had a rich tagging system (which GitHub has). The notifications system was completely unified and extremely useful - Workplace activity, relevant ticket updates, PRs to review, reviews, etc - all relevant and timely. From what I've seen, GitHub tends towards just being a useless uncoordinated firehose.

Finally code reviews. Having a code review for every commit is a bit to get used to but their tooling makes it super easy to post a stack (i.e. PR). Each commit in the PR can be independently reviewed & merged. This means you can land improvements progressively as code reviews complete (i.e. short cleanup commits go in faster while larger commits are reviewed longer) This also encourages people to size the commits appropriately & to be standalone.
It is not one size fits all, that is the outcome of the experiment. Use your best judgment for you and your team. If someone truly benifits from WFH, and you arbitrarily limit them without good reason, they'll probably be unhappy, less productive, and liable to leave.

Rush's stated reason for using carbon fiber over materials (ti or steel) which are much more accepted in submersible design world was to save money. A question I haven't seen asked elsewhere is, how much money are we talking about saving here? Clearly in retrospect whatever amount of money we're talking about is worth a lot less than five human lives and the recovery costs, but of course Rush didn't think his design would fail or he wouldn't have done it. I would like to see an informed estimate of the cost difference between other hull materials given the Titan's size. Obviously there are a lot of choices of material, and information that isn't publicly available about the design, but I'm sure there are some folks out there who could give a knowledgable comparison which would help us to quantify the decision-making process here.

Sure, titanium or appropriate steel would be more expensive, but it's hard for me to imagine that we're talking about an amount of money that would simply make the project unprofitable, since there are plenty of other submersibles out there built without carbon fiber hulls, and those companies are making money. Even if we were talking about a difference of some hundreds of thousands of dollars (can't imagine it would be more) between the two materials, we're still talking about life-or-death here (and one of those lives was Rush's). And while obviously the overhead costs of operating a submersible business are very high, these customers are paying $250k/dive. It seems like if Rush had said to people, "We went with ti over carbon, which would have saved money, but now we can be much more sure that the material won't fail catastrophically," anyone with that kind of money would have been happy to pay an extra, say, $10k or $20k or $50k/dive to make sure that they didn't die.

My take on the situation is that the money was less important in his calculus than the ego aspect of wanting to be seen as a maverick and showing the rest of the sub engineering community that he was right against their conventional wisdom. Being seen an 'innovator' seems to have been a powerful motivation for Rush. Often the actual amount of money matters much less to people than the 'animal spirits' (to use Keyne's phrase) underlying those decisions. Maybe I'm just trying to give Rush the benefit of the doubt, since putting people's lives at risk just so he could further enrich himself (and it doesn't seem like we're talking here about a guy that could barely afford lunch) is just evil. Maybe he was greedy and cheap (which doesn't necessarily mean that he didn't have a lot of good qualities).

Thoughts? I'd love to see someone run the numbers.
It's pretty arbitrary. For example, you can define order as the product of all order relationships along each single dimension (binary product). As for connectivity, they can also be defined as boolean functions under certain radius, like the persistent homology spectrum.

False equivalencies is what the people who have the power and capital often promote. But in the end it is what the large majority of the society wants that matters, if only we could be better informed about what benefits us all.

Many programmers don't get a choice in the language they have to use. Or they don't get a choice in the language they learn first. In either case, it is best to steel-man the case for the language you're using at any given time. Ideally, you should do this once for a language with explicit types (e.g. C++/Rust), once for a language with dynamic/implicit types (e.g. JS, Python3) and maybe once for a gradual typing system like TypeScript.

Then you can appreciate which tool to use and when, rather than getting distracted by strange religious notions about how "this language is better than that one". It also prevents you from forcing conventions the language doesn't align well with, and that if you're going to _try_ to do so - you should do so gradually and very carefully.
The use of “we” may have confused the commenter.
It is an interesting dichotomy, as our computer interfaces get more refined they get harder to program. In the early days every user was a programmer and every interface was expected to be programed by the user. Now there is this wide gulf between using the machine and programing it. where programing it involves a large leap involving additional software and knowledge.

It is why people love shell. shell kind of sucks, but there is this seamless transition from the interactive interface into programing the machine. that is pretty great. look at the early PARC alto demos. note how the windowing system was designed to be discovered, extended and molded to the users will as a part of normal operation. Our modern interfaces are depressingly static by comparison.

This article taught me a lot about Rastafarianism. I grew up knowing the California version. I thought it was all about smoking weed, reggae, and dreds.

I've been experimenting with YOShInOn, a smart RSS reader that, among other things, ingests abstracts from arXiv. You might note I post a lot of links to HN and all of them are selected by YOShInOn and I working together.

It uses a BERT-family model to cluster and classifies articles, it learned very fast that I like articles that have to with recommendation systems, text classifiers and stuff like that and I don't like articles on numerical analysis. The main interface looks like TikTok (shows me an article that I "like", "don't like" or mark as favorites.) Once things are favorited I have a rudimentary interface to look them up.

The same parts can be put together in other ways, the system right now supports one stream of classifications, but I'd really like to do a search on pubmed that finds 5000 abstracts and then classify them, plus multiple-stage classifications and extractions such as "Is this article about the results of a sports game?" and then "Who won?"

Plex can be amazing, but the core user community has absolutely no idea what the heck the Plex devs are doing these days. I've almost never seen such a disconnect between product development and key user community. /r/plex is basically full of posts complaining about long-standing requests, bugs, and broken features that are just simply ignore, followed by posts of "plex just released new feature literally nobody is asking for or wants, wtf?"

Most of the WTF feature releases are rolled back or deprecated within a few releases. So the community tends to be right on with what Plex should be doing. There's a lot of pigheadedness on the engineering side it looks like.

I also agree the lifetime pass was a bad business move. I think a better model would have been something like "pay $45, get every release in this major version, new major versions come out approximately every year" or with an alternate tier that would be "use plex, pay $35 per year, get all the updates". It would have smoothed out revenue and focused development on paying customer demands.

I'm not the one you asked but elixir's heavy use of piping data through a series of functions is a hallmark of a certain approach to functional programming. It's not "more functional" since that doesn't really make sense per se, but for a lot of people when they think of FP this is the fundamental orientation they have in mind, rather than like function composition or whatever.

Erlang doesn't have a first class pipe macro or special form I don't think, and its standard library isn't built with this in mind, with consistent data-first argument order. So again it's not "less functional" but it doesn't much use one of the most recognizable idioms of functional programming and the only uniquely functional one many people may be familiar with.

I don't know if this is what they meant but it makes sense to me. In elixir piping streams is an ergonomic and similarly performant solution, with the tradeoffs discussed in the article. There's a lot of use case overlap. If the language didn't have comprehensions it wouldn't be very painful for most people, I don't think. Where erlang without them would be a pain in the ass it really has no other general purpose tool for this.
> The new text and image generative models can now be used to synthesize training datasets.

No. Just no. Dear god, no.

This isn't too different from GPT-4 grading itself (looking at you MIT math problems)!

Current models don't accurately estimate the probability distribution of data, so they can't be reliable for dataset synthesis. Yes, synthesis can help, but you also have to specifically remember that typically they don't because they generate the highest likelihood data, which is already abundant. Getting non-mean data is the difficult part and without good density estimation you can't reliably do this. The density estimation networks are rather unpopular and haven't received nearly as much funding or research. Though I highly suggest it, but I'm biased because this is what I work in (explicit density estimation and generative modeling).
