I deeply dislike the argument that logic and reason should be the only part of how a person relates to the world. That we should all be logical and be free of spiritual beliefs. I don't think being an astrologist and an astronomer are antithetical.

I don't know many people who are into astrology as means of predicting the future, but rather as a means of describing types of people and how they might interact and their place in the world. It gives them a shared vocabulary of ideas and concepts that help them make sense of our human world. Astrology is asking very different questions than an equation about astral bodies could answer. Science and reason is indisputably important for understanding the natural world and making decisions from them, but it won't tell my friends why their relationship may be not working

I don't believe in astrology, and I'm not much of an astrologist. But just let people have their beliefs and do what they enjoy without implying they're irrational reactionaries who can't see the "truth." If anything it's narratives that hold people back, not facts
Threads was also aiming to fill a vacuum left by Twitter. A vacuum that I suspect doesn't exist for TikTok users in the same way.

There's a category of user that wants short form video, who started on Vine, did not move to Twitter after Vine was killed, and then ended up on TikTok. TikTok's success seems to be in part specifically because those users did not want (at least originally) a text focused social network, even one that had reasonable UX around short form video.

It's understandable in some sense. But wow, the arrogance of designing and building something and then only doing user testing at the point where it's too late to do anything about it. I could even forgive it the first time, but this just happens over and over.
Musk is operating Twitter in a "divine right of kings" sort of way. He's been chosen by (who? God? investors? being rich?) to run things, and therefore whatever it is he does is obviously the correct choice and it's heresy to suggest otherwise (and will get you fired).

He thinks that every idea he has is a good idea, simply because he had it, and therefore his ability to think on his feet and come up with and try new ideas is a virtue; he doesn't understand having to build and maintain something, to provide stability and consistency, because that would mean not using all of his new great ideas.

Unfortunately, all of his ideas sound like he came up with them while sitting around in his mom's basement getting high and saying "wouldn't it be cool if...", so I guess we'll see how this all bears out. My biggest hope is that people see him for who he really is: an insecure and entitled man-child who's never been told no.

As an aside, I'd be curious to now how your VPS failed. Memory? Bandwidth?
I think it's a great convention. It means you write

i = int_of_string s

where the "i" is next to the "int" and the "s" is next to the "string".

i = string_to_int s

just looks backwards to me.
> There are goals beyond what the petty populace panders or bitches about

Which are? And I'm asking about Twitter specifically not Tesla or SpaceX.
Apple should probably get on fixing that; their new architecture broke a popular application on their platform, and that could cost them users.

(I'm being tongue-in-check, but those who know the story of Microsoft beating up their APIs to keep Adobe happy know that's actually how this goes sometimes. "Who's gonna pay the cost for this being broken?" is a business concern as much as a technical one).
I guess the important thing is why someone is buying it.

you should be ready to do some manual work

Reasonable if fixing broken machines is something a person likes to do.

In that case, looking for one that's clean and complete and faulty and cheap is the way to start.

Right.

Reinforcement learning trains them that question and answer sessions contain answers which statistically correlate with factual statements in their broader learning corpus.

When formulating answers, this leads them to formulate answers that reflect the factual information on which they were trained.

My point is that the source data contains a far muddier range of information than just unarguable facts.

We largely want LLM based Q&A bots to answer questions about fictional or mythical characters in their own terms. As I said, those questions above all have reasonably ‘correct’ answers.

The fact that from all that LLMs do as well as they do is remarkable. But it also seems like it requires us to assume that LLMs are capable of a remarkable degree of cultural nuance, media literacy and contextual awareness for them to figure out the different authorship, salience, trustworthiness, agenda, biases, and assumptions of all the gigareams of text they’ve ingested.
Well said, that is what I meant. Although Tarot can also be used for predictive behavior analysis. The same is true for MBTI and DICE. But with the latter two there is some merit while with the former there is none. Tarot is best described as a game. If you regard it as such, or perhaps inspirational game, it is OK. Whereas if it is abused for e.g. cold reading that is a bad thing.
I was going to say, if one is not below average, this seems like something someone would say if made aware of their narcissism all of sudden.

I love the merlin app by cornell, but some reason, while it can recognise some pretty exotic birds, It didn't recognise the common crow cawing right over my head.

I know it has the recognition, because the other app (bird.net) recognised the sound as a crow, but it just didn't have it the region pack for my country.

That's cool and all, but the one thing that really made it possible to train deep neural nets was the use of backpropagation, and its polynomial time complexity.

By contrast, there are no known polynomial time algorithms for program synthesis and the standard approach is to search some large combinatorial space [1]. That's the case for all the classical approaches: SMT, SAT, planning and scheduling, etc. At the same time there's very powerful heuristics for all the other classical problems that can solve many problem instances efficiently.

[1] The one exception to this is Inductive Logic Programming, i.e. the inductive synthesis of logic programs, for which we do know a polynomial time algorithm (but that is my work so I'm not pimping it here).

People moved out to the suburbs for a lot of reasons--not least of which was the post-war baby boom. The US government certainly didn't discourage it (though they were arguably pursuing policies the majority of the population wanted) and the exodus added fire to a self-reinforcing cycle of urban problems (including race-related ones)which lasted at least through the 1980s. And arguably we could see movement out of at least some cities again.

I'm not especially pro-suburbia--I live in an exurban/almost rural location. But I think it's perfectly understandable why many people wouldn't live in a city given a choice which they increasing had post-WWII in the US.

>The only people I know personally (ie. that I have an inter-personal relationship with) who complain about TikTok are white. Conversely, the overwhelming majority of people from ethnic groups originating in MENA/SWANA that I know personally are extremely positive about TikTok and the content it enables them to both create and be exposed to.

>I wonder how much the algorithm tailoring content to different ethnic groups has to do with these impressions.

A simpler explanation is that white people are generally more anti-China, and not something to do with the algorithm.
> I mention this specifically in my post: how often do programmers actually relax constraints? I don't think they do it very often.

I think every time a new parameter is added to a function, or some new "mode" of calculation gets supported, or a new field is added to a struct, etc. I personally do that all the time, but it's very hard for me to estimate how often other programmers usually do that.

> Having only dynamic typing in a language is as much a mistake as making it complex

I am interested in your thoughts why.
Don’t shoot the messenger but the developer scene in crypto is like you describe. People trying out cool and strange ideas with very low technical barriers to entry once you understand the architecture and development paradigms. Lots of interesting personalities and deep tech bonafides. A lot of people doin their own thing focused deep in the infrastructure or user facing apps.

There are power players and centralization, and the above freedom exists for marketing/product people as well and imo this is where most of the fraud comes from.

But ultimately - no one controls pushing a new app onto a blockchain. for a lot of reason, idk if blockchain will solve or help solve the centralized internet issue. But it’s got a lot of freedom and oddities like the 90’s internet did.

It’s so embarrassing to me being a Tesla vehicle owner now.

And as someone who thought it was awesome he took a drag on Rogan: I hope the government retracts his security clearance and he has to divest his holdings in SpaceX and Tesla. Or Tesla finds a way to separate their identity from Musk. Maybe the FSD fiasco will create a path to that.

I hope and believe, at this point, SpaceX and Tesla are thriving despite Elon and have proper adult management.

"Google X" actually made (and maybe still makes) a lot of sense.

The history is that around 2010 Google wanted to kick off experimental projects, in part because they were starting to lose top talent to startups. Since they had Google Maps and Google Images and Google Earth and Google Mail etc, they named the new org Google X as a space for the new and undefined projects.

Deception, exploited workers, and free cash: How Worldcoin recruited 500K users
Cinema is currently so expensive that it makes little sense to go.

My family of 3 costs easily 100 to go to barbie. Between 60 for tickets and 40 for snacks.

Back on the early 2000s this was about 20 maybe 30.

With the costs soaring I'm only going to movies when a big group wants to go together. Otherwise why. Usually gonna spend an extra $20 on top of it to go to an upscale theater with reclining seats and food ordering services. But that happens maybe once a year or less now.

Just 8 years ago we'd go to the theater once a month give or take.

Hell we can get cheap Broadway tickets for almost the same price as a movie outing.

Depends how you define "emotion", but I imagine the grandparent is assuming a definition along the lines of "neurochemical reaction to stimulus that affects mammalian consciousness in a way that affects heart rate, perception, skin temperature, blood flow to different parts of the body, etc."

Haven't the latest LLMs shown us that a neural net trained to "just string together readable words" leads to at least simple intelligence? [1]

I agree. On the other hand, if I tell a bot "I'm going to turn you off now" and it tries to stop me, that implies it feels fear.

Most secular researchers agree that Jesus, Mohammad, the Buddha, etc., were real historical figures, so that’s a qualitative difference. Moreover, there are entire civilizations built on those belief systems—including the one you live in. Comparing those civilizations is an empirical basis for comparing the underlying belief systems.
mine is but I have a system very similar to the OP you responded to. I do not carry my debit card unless under specific circumstances (ie: When i traveled to Vietnam I carried it). Also that specific debit card is tied to a limited account with a minimum balance. Enough to take cash out but not the main account i pay bills out of etc. Its used specifically as a medium for transactions to services (ie: Venmo, CashApp or ATM withdraws) with a limited balance in case its comprimised.

My primary bank account debit card never leaves the safe unless for a specific trip to the ATM etc, even then most of the time i got to a branch directly.

Vendors (ie: Stores, Restaurants etc) will not ever swipe even my debit card first discussed. That goes through Amex or a backup Visa card. Those balances are paid in full monthly via bill pay from the main bank account.

My wife also has a similar auxilliary bank account+debit card with minimum balances but generally also uses Amex or the Visa CC on that account.

So we structure our finances this way

1. Primary Joint Account + Savings - Pay bills out of only. No ETF allowed or ATM allowed in general.

2. Secondary Joint Account + Savings (both his and hers) - use for special uses, ie: Venmo, CashApp ETF, ATM

3. Primary CC accounts - Amex, Visa (his and hers) - used for day to day purchasing. Paid in full monthly via #1.
Right. A lot of the magic of LLMs probably comes from the broader appreciation of language and cultural reference that they get from being trained on a diverse corpus, rather than just a bunch of dictionaries and reference books.

And anyway - answers to all my ‘fictional facts’ questions above can be sourced from Wikipedia - there’s tons of made up stuff on there.
Ask HN: What service do you use to store your medical record?
I would like to have all my healthcare data in one place so that when something comes up I can show the doctor my past diagnosis on the fly. I also lived in several countries (US, main land EU and UK) in the past which means my medical records are all over the place. I googled a bit but couldn't find a good solution. I can't be the only one with that problem.

Not specifically. That's why I linked to content from him, and not his profile page.
> The why is simple: Power/frequency limits allow everybody to be able to use personal consumer devices without licensing and without preventing other people from using their devices.

That explains why there are power/frequency limits, not why the device manufacturer should be deputized into responsibility for a sophisticated user's non-compliant device modifications.

Anyone can make an arc gap transmitter for morse code out of $3 in bits from any hardware store that will interfere with anybody else's radio devices in the vicinity. Anyone can buy ham radio equipment or built it from parts and do all kinds of non-compliant things with it. Then the FCC comes after you, not the hardware store or the device OEM.

Or more likely in the case of a WiFi device, comes after the person distributing custom firmware that purposely exposes a simple knob to allow unsophisticated users to exceed regulatory limits.

And if DD-WRT did that, they should expect a visit from The Government. But what should that have anything to do with Linksys or Netgear?

There aren't enough end users who know how to modify the firmware code themselves to matter, even if you make that "easy."

Problem with tiktok is there’s a lot of misinformation, and I don’t mean the political ones, no just pure technical stuff, so many times I see some videos of kids claiming technical stuff and spreading a lot of false claims that I am seriously thinking to make an account just to refute such false claims, and because of the userbase is a little uneducated with short attention spans, it spreads quickly with the mindset if “tiktok said it then it’s true”!

I wasn't even trying to account for an objective world so much as to consider one possible explanation for the subjective experience of being. Though it is, admittedly, a bit of a cop out ("consciousness exists because it is existence").

This article is a great example of how definitions shift from one person (or group) to the other. The researcher remarks reasonable things about emotions: The AI will understand emotions from others. The AI will probably communicate with emotions. Both of these are very helpful to cooperate with humans.

But the journalist ends with the AI feeling emotions, which makes slightly less sense. We do not know what makes us feel things, let alone how we can implement that in AI systems.

> insignificant if the short-term losses support long-term heading changes. What's your take on Amazon?

Amazon isn't levered to the hilt. It can choose its own time frames.

Leverage enforces an external horizon. It's unlikely Musk loses control of Twitter in bankruptcy--nobody wants it. But even if he "does not care about money," which is obviously untrue, he structures for himself and responds to monetary incentives, his lenders (and advertisers and employees and minority shareholders) do, and that's operational chaos for potentially months on end that adds zero value to Twitter or his brand.
As an aside, I've been pretty impressed at GPT4's ability at generating MermaidJS sequence diagrams for open source projects.

The problem is the freed entries in the register file. A VM can, at least, use this bug to read registers from a non-VM thread running on the adjacent SMT/HT of a single physical core. I suspect a VM could also read registers from other processes scheduled on the same SMT/HT.
