My benchmark is having a peer programming session spanning days and dozens of queries with ChatGPT where we co-created a custom static site generator that works really well for my requirements. It was able to hold context for a while and not "forget" what code it provided me dozens of messages earlier, it was able to "remember" corrections and refactors that I gave it and overall was incredibly useful for working out things like recurrence for folder hierarchies and building data trees. This kind and similar use-cases where memory is important, when the model is used as a genuine assistant.
All in all, it seems like this was a situation where the process worked.

- She said some stuff as a visiting speaker she probably shouldn't have in that context, or at least was taken wrong by some folks in the audience.

- Attendees complained

- She was formally censured by the hosting university that knew what the comments were

- Due to the censure, her employer investigated

- She was cleared, life went on

- Newspapers decided it was a great chance to twist events into an evil right-wing speech suppression story.

I don't understand why, with all the UI/UX experience we have with hypertext, that have not moved the semantic of a hyperlink beyond a dumb one-way pointer.

Assuming that a maximal hypertextual interface needs to dynamically display relationships (rather than just a huge tag cloud or making all the body text hyperlink blue), a machine-readable characterization of the nature of those relationships would be invaluable. Does my text refute the linked resource? Or support it, or provide related factual statements, or is it chronologically or conceptually derivative? Some sort of ontological palette to write with could produce something that could be traversed in all sorts of novel ways. It would give writers more agency over external systems that will otherwise apply their own semantic meaning to the text, and its links.

Also, Hypertext (HTML, anyway) is oddly asymmetrical in its normal usage. We link a small string of text within a document, one-way, to the entirety an entire separate document. I think convention is the primary obstacle, but why can't we describe a relationship from our entire document to some other resource?
It got baked into the silicon valley culture for some reason. When the rebellious innovators à la Wozniak and the Berkeley folks merged with trillions of VC spewing finance bros, a weird amalgam was created where while everything is in reality about money, it needs to be sugar coated with drivel about wanting to change the world and solve world hunger via the application of middle out compression algorithms

As I've said, I'm fuzzy on the details, so I'm relying on the expertise of the physicists here.

I can tell it doesn't react to a magnet in ways that I'm familiar with (copper, iron, other magnets), but that's all the detail I can tell from the video.
> The alt.* groups were always mostly a cesspool,

Well, there was a lot of fun in the chaos too. Stuff like alt.pave.the.earth had a culture around it.

There was serious stuff too, like alt.save.the.earth. Also things like alt.os.linux (later renamed to comp.os.linux)
The Cocktail Consoles (as we called them) were all custom hardware. Everything was designed to be rock-solid both physically (bars are full of drunk people and liquids) and operationally (everything had to Just Work). Leo designed a core “motherboard” which was a PIC microcontroller (I forget the exact model) that did five main things: serial I/O for the buttons and joystick; serial I/O for the attached TV tuner; serial I/O for the attached pan-tilt video camera; audio from the telephone handset; and then multiplexing all of that serial I/O and sending it over serial to a central server (which I wrote — in Perl!) which then controlled all the Cocktail Consoles in the bar.

We used black and white cameras because they were both cheaper and also had much better sensitivity to low-light conditions (this has changed somewhat — but not entirely — in 20+ years) and black and white tube TVs because they were cheap. (This part was actually really dangerous — tube TVs hold enormous charges after they’ve been switched off, enough to kill someone, and we had the guts exposed on the insides of the Cocktail Consoles. Had to be very careful). We used public telephone handsets for the audio because of their durability, and video game buttons and joysticks so you could try very hard, and generally fail, to damage them.

The TV's, cameras, and telephone audio were all connected over an analog CCTV system. The camera was video source and the handset's microphone was the audio source for a given channel. The TV could be tuned to any channel, and was thus the video output device, and the handset's speaker was tied to the same channel. Thus, if you tuned to any camera, you would see and hear whatever was going on at that console, but not the other way around, so it was rather voyeuristic. If TV A was tuned to camera B, and TV B was tuned to camera A, that established a bi-directional link, which meant you could see and converse with the other person.

The serial data from all the microcontrollers were sent over serial-to-CAT5 converters, so the entire place was wired for Ethernet, but it was plain old serial over the wire. We then had these serial cards in a Dell server on the other end, which presented as roughly 100 serial ports on the server.

This was where I had to do a lot of learning. I was a good IP programmer, but I had to reach back into the depths of the kernel and learn all about TTYs and switch() and lots of other stuff that even in 2000 was sort of forgotten. It took me forever to find any good documentation on how to handle that many serial ports in a non-blocking way.

I kept asking Leo to just put a cheap Intel box in each machine and do it all over regular Ethernet, but he (rightly) kept insisting on this low-cost, rock-solid approach. Today the calculus would undoubtedly be different — you would do everything over IP — but back then Leo had a level of foresight I still admire.
> If you've ever heard about the numerous SUV rollovers in the 90s

Did you only hear about them in the 90s? because in the 00s sway bars [1] became very popular so perhaps the rollovers stopped happening.

I also don't think people really consider accidents when purchasing cars or Volvo wouldn't've had such a hard time growing.

> What's so off-putting about: "Do well and you stick around, do poorly and you go away"?

Because I don't want to have that kind of instability if I don't get a lot of money to make up for it. It works because people know that if they get "cut" they'll be doing fine.

Also, the best people have lots of options. If there are multiple interesting options, all else being equal the extra cash will help a lot.

That or some Yahoo! sites or random blogs that did this on their own. The links didn't go to malicious sites, just useless ones.

I can see this actually being useful if done well, but I didn't like the demo just because of the annoyingly highlighted words. It should only show up if I mouse over.
It still might be worth cooling this with LN2, in many applications, assuming critical current and critical field scale up as temperature decreases as they do with other superconductors.
> Going forward, the current business model (with caveat that pivots are always likely this early stage) is to train on companies' proprietary survey data so we can estimate how their specific users respond to questions.

I imagine cleaning customer data to get it to the point that it's inputtable will be a big job for you.

Are you then creating individual models per customer? As in, if Coke are an existing customer of yours and Pepsi sign up, do they get access to a model that's partially trained on Coke data, or it's a case of your base model + "bring your own research"?

The most interesting thing for me is them providing examples of the function made me realise this is the logical conclusion of TDD.

Write tests to build the input -> output contracts, have AI build the logic that conforms to those contracts.
Thank you for being the first article I've ever actually read to explain the difference between NFC, NFD, NFKD and NFKC in a way that I actually understood. I was a little bored through the whole UCS/UTF* history lesson because I knew a lot of it already, but the normalization and collation examples were definitely worth it
> Why even care if it is written by a machine or not? I am not sure it matters as much as people think.

You don't see the writing on the wall? OK, here is a big hint: it might make a huge difference from a legal perspective whether some "photo" showing child sexual abuse (CSA) was generated using a camera and a real, physical child, or by some AI image generator.
>Language barrier is a non-issue since most countries are fluent in English.

Absolutely not treu. You probably didn't read the part in my comment where I explained my experiences where needing the local language was a must for dealing with the bureaucratic paperwork you can end up facing regularly.

Maybe in northern Europe that might be true but it's definitely not my experience in Austria (and even in Denmark I have friend who met doctors' offices telling them they need to speak Danish). Language barrier is defiantly an issue here, especially outside the SW dev world.

Plenty of government offices you have to interact with don't or don't want to speak English (mostly due to older grumpy staff). Plenty of police officers don't speak English (also the older staff). Plenty of doctors, nurses and specialists don't speak English. Plenty(most?) companies outside of SW require German knowledge. Plenty of landlords and building management companies or utility companies don't speak or don't want to speak English. The list can go on, especially if you mostly land with older staff members. The language barrier is real. Sure, sometimes you can get lucky and land a young contact person who speaks great English and will want to help you, but that's quite rare, most will tell you "nur Deutsch" and then you're shit out of luck as a lot of the issues need to be solved over the phone or in person instead of email where you can fire up deepl.

I remember when a negligent driver hit me while cycling, the two police officers who came over spoke no English at all as they were a bit older. This happens quite often when you deal with older staff.

Saying English is all you need to get by is a gross over-exaggeration and does not match the struggles me and my friends had here at all. Sure, you can order a beer and a pizza in English just fine, but any and all official bureaucracy needs to be done in the local language, not in English, often on the phone or in person, on paper and the spot, without the possibility to easily google translate the thing you're signing, like you can on web forms (and even the stuff google translate camera app spits out is a lot of the time confusing as hell). And believe me, there's a lot of paper work: contracts, insurance forms, complaints, registration forms, etc.

Also, it's respectul to learn the local language to integrate, unless you want to make life difficult for yourself, and live in isolation in expat-only bubbles.

Anyway, my point is, from personal experience, it's still a huge hassle, to move and live in countries where you don't speak the local language as not everything and everyone is always geared to swatch to English for your convenience.

>The nicest houses I know are owned by traders who know how to use technical analysis.

If you have a large group of people who take risks while trading, and they form strategies indistinguishable from flipping a coin (like technical analysis), then at the end of the day you're going to have a lot of ex-traders who failed to make money and a few that look like rock stars - because taking large risks and being lucky is a "good" way to make money fast. It's the very definition of survivorship bias.
> The browser should have had a mode that ensures integrity without privacy (it's trivial; use PKI to sign the content, send the signature as a header, client validates the signature, and you have integrity over plaintext; or just a form of HSTS, if you don't need PKI, because if HSTS is good enough for certs, it's good enough for anything ELSE, right?).

Can you help me understand this please? Without a trusted CA, anyone can mitm by generating their own public/private keys for the user to pretend to be the destination server. They can then sit in the middle and view/alter traffic as it's passed back and forth between the true destination.

How does your proposal prevent that?
How would they go from iris data to World ID (hash)?

Also, World ID is anonymous because the service one uses it with does not recieve the ID, not because they recieve the ID without one's real name. In other worlds, you can sign up to a service using at once both World ID and your real name and they will still have no way of connecting your World ID to your real name.
It's a thin film according to the article linked, but there is no mention of how thin it is (it could be a monolayer) and there is no mention of how wide the film was so the 250 mA figure can not be used to determine whether or not there is 'room for improvement' or even a necessity for that (unless it was already normalized, for which I see no evidence). The 'Critical current' isn't mentioned at all in terms of the cross section of the conductor, just as a function of temperature and magnetic flux which they really should have provided to be able to make sense of the figure. ReBCO is 8 MA / cm^2 (that's million, not milli), the thin film layer they tested with could well be so thin that it is in the same ballpark or it could be a small fraction.

This is clearly a very early result and until they have more insight into how it works (assuming it really works...) we'll have to be patient before we get more meaningful figures on the actual current carrying capacity of thicker conductors made out of this stuff. They were happy enough to be able to prove superconductivity at room temperature and normal pressure, clearly they are still a ways away from being able to line up a comparison with ReBCO with respect to current density. But surely that will happen soon if this is real.

This summer I have been keeping my Florida hot tub temperature at 94°F, which is reportedly 7.1 degrees lower than most others.

It’s pleasantly refreshing and usually cooler than both the wet bulb temperature and the bag of water attached to my neurons.

Never been much of an ocean swimmer myself, but I am curious about the heat-enhancing properties of the layer of water where the reading was taken.

I’m headed there now to read the NOAA Coastal Water Temperatures Guide (hot tub, not Manatee Bay) which has an interactive map.

As someone who has dabbled in this sort of thing for a few years, dived pretty deep, and begun my journey into quantitative analysis I can tell you that all TA is pretty much useless. There are fundamental mathematical reasons as to why, but in a nutshell there is no TA indicator (that I'm aware of) that is a leading indicator. You simply cannot use technical analysis to glean any useful information about the future.

That isn't to say that you cannot use mathematics to glean useful information about the future. The medallion fund exists. People are doing it. But you're going to have to get very, very good at very domain specific math involving statistics, signal theory, information theory and the like, it's much more involved than TA, theres a reason quants make 7 figure salaries, you're not making useful predictions drawing triangles on a linear price chart.

I mean, modulo edge cases, lead is a lot scarier than CO2; it's only because of the ridiculously obscene quantities of CO2 being produced that it's a more immanent threat. There's obviously not enough information yet to weigh the value/consequences of the amount of lead used here, but if your measure of whether something is a good idea for mitigating carbon emissions is just "it's not carbon emissions", you're going to find yourself kicking a can a bit down the road, or (much) worse.

Placing a fuzzy tester like "hypothesis.strategies.characters" into the CI may also be revealing.

Try "impossible". No person reading HN is prepared to forgo all of what civilization provides. There are probably a very few people on the planet, who are already living in an extremely isolated tribal setting, who could go it alone, but if they're reading HN I hope they'll speak up now, I'd love to hear their opinion on this.
Oh, come on.
The way he went from the fun, bold and ambitious guy most people liked, to the shadow of himself most people now hate is appaling. He used to promote tolerance, diversity and love (mostly), now he’s (mostly) into bullying, hate speech, authoritarianism, dictator ass-licking, parroting Kremlin propaganda, etc.

What a letdown.

Of course you can go the "morality is meaningless, the guy has highly successful businesses so he deserves respect" route.

Or you could figure out that a self-made genius that pushes nonsense like the hyperloop, rocket mass transportation, tunnels for taxis and terraforming mars to save humanity while denying climate change, is probably neither a genius nor self-made.
Who and what is behind the malware proxy service SocksEscort?
They've just proven (if true of course) that it's possible at all. That is a massive, massive leap.

And once it's possible, it won't be long until it's optimized. We've seen this everywhere -- transistors were once huge and now nanometers; solar cells have improved in every where; batteries are cheaper and better than ever.
It's nice to have choices.

In a country where every individual have to evaluate and negotiate almost all of its many daily economic choices, results end up benefiting the wealthy and powerful, to the detriment of others, in everything economically related. Which leads to poor choices for and by the masses (like dollar store groceries). More choices in everything leads to poor choices for almost everyone. Think societal cancer.

In countries where some to many economic choices are planned and decided for most (if not all) people, results end up benefiting most people. Then wealthy people makes less money, but are still wealthy, and everyone seems healthier.

Folks, you have to realize that the wealthy and powerful in this world are really _too clever by half_ [0]. They seek to expand infinitely, while plunging everyone into the abyss of sickness and despair through cleverly devised marketing and propaganda. The end game is the end of everything.

Can we do better? Yes we can. How? Simple, glad you asked. Stop making choices out of jealousy and envy. Start trashing your culture and religion, all of it. Go back to Imagine (the genius song) and do the text of it. Do that. Now, like right now.

I never hear anything back about remote roles after the first round. In many cases a recruiter even has perfect roles that they say they submit me for but I never hear from them again.

On-site stuff tends to progress further, but usually they want one to move to a more expensive location, which I was desperately trying to avoid.

Expect the first iterations of that material to not actually hold currents well in a long (macroscopic) distance and create much weaker magnets than one would expect from a random superconductor.
