> I think that’s mostly because you are doing something physical (interesting) but nobody else is allowed to participate. Which can feel kinda rude.

That's a good point but it's just a limitation with current-gen tech. There's already headsets that can 'see' other players and incorporate them into the experience. Like the HTC Vive Focus 3. This is why those are used a lot for interactive experiences at trade shows etc. They are much more suitable than an Oculus Quest.

Sharing on an external screen (on a quest you can easily stream the output to any chromecast) is something I also do when I'm giving demonstrations.
people don't send me an offer after remote interviews

people do send me an offer after in person interviews

I have no problem getting callbacks and multiple rounds of interviews and busy work take home challenges
just in case anyone else is having a similar experience, also interview at hybrid roles or offer to do an in person one
Good, so I'm not the only one.
Can you make a practical battery with such a superconductor?
Entirely pet theories that may be untrue but worth considering:

- Nicotine helps mitigate the negative symptoms of ADHD, but US society has seen a major drop in tobacco usage

- Having access to a secretary greatly compensates for workplace related tasks that are difficult for those with ADHD. I have had a few conversations with people at my company much older than myself about how the number of secretaries has vastly shrunk. My boss’ secretary used to reach out to me about a meeting she had scheduled for us. Now my boss doesn’t have a secretary, and I have to schedule those meetings, update them, and communicate this with multiple parties while also having a full plate of my own dev work.
I'm happy for this decision, but I'm still surprised. It's tough to sell compact/subcompact cars in the current market (Chevy hilariously pretends the car is a SUV).

I suspect that the development of their more high-end/profitable EVs is going slower than anticipated and some bean counter somewhere determined that this is the best use of the batteries they have on hand.
Not to mention that, pre-refrigeration, they did literally ship ice around the world: https://crystalicela.com/how-ice-delivered-before-refrigerat....
Superconductors change every assumption about how we harness electricity and magnetism. Beyond reducing the cost of electricity transmission, they enable all sorts of fascinating applications:

- They enable low cost, continuous, passively-stable magnetic levitation. Superconductors could replace ball bearings in many applications.

- They enable permanent magnets that are far stronger than any we make from conventional magnetic materials. For example, motors tend to run at high speed and low torque, so as to minimize heat generated from current in the copper windings. Superconducting direct-drive motors could allow for ultra-high-torque actuators without any need for gearing, and with minimal heat generation or losses. So superconducting electromagnets could replace everything from electric motors to hydraulic pistons to simple springs.

- Superconductors allow for very sensitive antennas and magnetic field sensors, allowing for near-field detection of very small signals (such as from neurons firing in the brain). There is a lot of impressive technology that only exists inside research labs where a generous supply of cryogenic liquids are always on hand. Those could make their way into mass-market products.

That's just a very short list.
> So many crap Unity/Unreal copies that ruins peoples lives making them indebted for life because they think they will make it as indie.

Thats because people are making crappy games. all unity and unreal did was lower the bar to making a game.

At the end of the day, its about the quality of the game + how well you market it. Sure there are a lot of shit games made in Unity. but you also get gems like cities skylines and cuphead too. The difference is the quality and attention put into making a GOOD Game. good games take worse. a platforn like unity makes creating a good game for a dev from impossible to possible.
This is huge. I am stunned and advise withholding judgment until further evidence arrives.

My second thought, how does it respond to magnetic fields?
All that matters is if they are effective terms or not. That's most of the point of the article; how to constructively inquire about whether giant LLMs might be effective at solving novel problems, perhaps better than humans can, in ways that matter to humans.

Since we don't have a formal model of how systems like humans work we can't just plug numbers into equations or generate proofs that LLMs and other ML systems will or will not be able to control other systems better than humans, so we revert to less-formal concepts as best as we can. The formal AI safety folks (MIRI et al) already tried the formal approach; by their own admission it's hopeless and they poured a lot of time and bright minds into it and we won't be able to formally answer questions about intelligence via decision theory or alignment before we have actually-intelligent systems interacting with us. What will happen at that point? We don't know and can only use imprecise concepts to make educated guesses. If we don't make honest attempts at this we run the risk of being blindsided by unexpectedly capable AI/ML systems.

This is why a large number of AI alignment researchers recommend pausing AI/ML systems at their current ability before they have a chance at being superhuman on most tasks. I wouldn't trust "distributed indexing" or "stochastic generation" if it could beat me at any particular skill of my choosing like similar systems can beat any of us at Chess or Go or Poker.

When I was a kid, the city garbage men used to walk behind our house, grab the metal garbage bins that weren't lined with plastic bags, carry them back to the truck, dump them, and then return them empty back to where they were found. And they did that for every house in a city of 200,000 people. Granted, I'm an ancient relic, but oh my how things have "improved" in my lifetime.
Not necessarily. If this material is legit, this proves that room temperature superconductors can exist. If it works in this material, others might also work. Eventually it may lead to a material that can be manufactured cheaply enough. The potential monetary savings of such a material is so great, that you'll see billions flow into materials research.
This is not an endorsement of TA but look at what they do, not say. They are highly influneced by chart movements. Price predictions and buy/sell recommendations are constrained by recent trends and observed prices. Even if they want to say they are driven by fundamentals. These “fundamentals” change in reaction to price action.
Make LLM or something that can parse invoices for all sorts of random vendors, car parts, pencils, in multiple languages, from shitty scanned PDF's, and you have a billion dollar company.
> However, this is the exception, not the rule. It is not relevant to the vast majority of origin destination pairs when traveling in the US.

This is I think something where I think you're in agreement with the substance, but not the wording.

If you look at a list of the MSAs in the US, the MSAs in the top 50 that aren't practically serviceable by HSR in some fashion are Seattle, Denver, Portland, Oklahoma City, Memphis, Salt Lake, New Orleans, and Birmingham. And five of those aren't entirely implausible.

So most people actually live somewhere where some form of HSR is plausible. In the Northeast and California, the problem is more that it hasn't been built yet; for the Midwest, Chicago is strong enough that it can drive HSR traffic without concomitant (and probably unlikely) planning changes in other Midwestern cities; Texas probably needs unlikely planning changes to be viable. For the Southeast, Florida would need unlikely planning changes to be viable on its own, but connecting to a strong Midwest and Northeast system via Atlanta could also be viable. Connections past that probably aren't viable (sorry, Memphis and New Orleans).

And I think you recognize that there are several strong areas in the US--I doubt your list of viable HSR routes are much different from them. I just think you're underestimating how much of the intercity traffic in the US that actually entails.
Memento mori: top comment made the same mistake[1], your contributions reinforced the top comment, and your separate individual reply is the second comment.

Rushing to comment has deep effects on HN, the threading incentivizes appending to the top comments rather than replying. This will now be a philosophical debate about scientific trust for hours just because people assume the article says "collapse is happening shortly by X date", but its just a statistical model :(

Don't mean to make you feel bad or call you out, most people don't read the article if it's popular. It's my attempt to give a little back to the community to note it, been here a very long time, and when people try calling it out coarsely it isn't constructive.

[1] sort of: they understood it was a statistical model but spent so much time hand-wringing about Nature publishing a statistical model that it came off like there was something wrong with the article, causing a rush of replies of "how can I trust anything??"

I would give all my karma for the rest of my life if it could convince the industry to make it easier for average humans to create things faster, easier, and better, without writing code.

Do graphics designers have to write code to create a poster for a concert? Do executives have to write code to create a powerpoint slide? Do financial analysts have to write code to balance taxes in excel? Do students have to write code to compose rich-text formatted documents? Do kids have to write code to create entire cities in minecraft? No, no, no, no, no. But if you want to create a personal home page, hoooo boy, get ready to learn 3 SaaS services, 5 languages, 7 frameworks, 14 tools, and 28 paradigms.

When I was 16 and found Visual Basic, I created a networked, graphical application for sharing homework in about a week. Not knowing anything about programming. That is what we should be doing to make applications. Not fucking around with god damn HTML, CSS, JS, Flask, Squashify, Zentillion2, Uberstuber, Flimflam Candygram 4.0, and more. Just give me Visual Basic that will compile for a phone, tablet, and a desktop. We could get so much more done with much fewer people, time wasted, complexity, cost. We wouldn't be beholden to "the web". Computers could actually grow to do more than is allowed by the "browser ecosystem", if we didn't have to use browsers to make and run apps.

I don't think a safe environment should preclude saying "what the hell man". People should be free to react however they want to proposals for the web that would affect them. Anyone can write a proposal, but a proposal written by Googlers for Google has oomph than a proposal written by some guy.
This seems very similar to Signals [1] in Angular.

My impression is that Google abandoned this approach.
It’s really not the same intention or implementation.

We should also consider that Apple’s solution is a way to distinguish between human vs. Non human users on an Apple device. It doesn’t allow a service to randomly lockout browsers and/or OS (which Google’s proposal does), just that if you’re already on your Apple device, you don’t have to do a “verify I’m a human” captcha.

So it in theory adds more opportunities for the worker, assuming they are in high demand. Of course, if a European leaves their company they don't lose their health coverage.
This question can essentially be simplified to: "Is the stock market truly random?", as randomness is defined as the absence of patterns and TA is all about patterns.

Currently, the random walk hypothesis remains just that - a hypothesis. There is no definitive evidence to confirm that the stock market operates in a random manner.

On the other hand, many believe that there are some long-term patterns and invest huge chunks of money based on that belief. For example, one such belief is that the S&P 500 will continue to have an annual average return of something between 8% - 10% in the decades to come.

If the movements in stock charts, including ETFs like SPY, were truly random, such a pattern could not exist. Consequently, our expected average annual return from the S&P 500 should be 0%. This is because in a genuinely random environment, the likelihood of a rise and a fall would be precisely equal.

Meta: does flagging and vouching work differently for links than for comments?

This account has enough karma for flagging, and I can see the title of this submission is prefixed with [Flagged] but I don't have an option to Vouch.

How does that work? I flag/vouch pretty rarely so I'm not always sure.
That's true. So, the question is: Do you protest now and hope there are enough of us to get them to change their minds, or do you just accept it now because it's most likely going to happen either way?
Don't superconducting magnets make fusion much easier?
Oh yeah I do have a PC so my catalogue is a lot larger. I do play a lot of sims also (I used to pilot real planes also).

But the solitude of the current generation is just because most headsets can only support one player in the experience. Vive Focus 3 can do this pretty well already, I've done interactive experiences with many other people in the same space.

I don't understand your point. If TA can't generate alpha then why bother? Whether stocks exhibit momentum or not is irrelevant if you can't profitably trade off of it.

Look at it this way. TA is fundamentally a matter of pattern recognition. If it actually worked then you could program a computer to recognize the patterns and automatically put in trades. But if everyone does that then any profit opportunity is almost instantly arbitaged away, and thus TA quickly stops working (if it ever worked at all).
Medium was an early adopter of the trend. It tried to pretend it was a little bit better than the rest of the web although it was always a little bit worse. It pulled a Jedi mind trick on people, particularly those too lazy to blog. (Like the guy who was blown away he got 70 views on a Medium post, I had to break it to him that it would take 70,000 views on a blog post to blow me away.)

It may be less ironic than it seems. If there is anyone impervious to the concept of enshittification it would have to be the paid Mediumm subscriber, they need to get this message more than anyone.

> Any new ambiguity here comes from the ambiguity inherent in the word "artificial".

Not sure I agree here. Seems to me the ambiguity comes from the word "intelligence". As in, does that if/else clause indicate "intelligence" that's been programmed in. Of course we've created more terms like Artificial General Intelligence[1] to try to clear up the muddy definition of what constitutes intelligence.

I think our fundamental challenge as society begins to try to understand what AI is comes down to what "intelligence" is. As you said, we all know what it is, but can't define it easily. If I write some really clever code, is the system running it intelligent? Is some of my intelligence imbued into that system, or does it have some of its own? At what point does a stochastic process approach intelligence - when it has enough data? Does that mean babies aren't born with intelligence, but acquire it as they learn more? So many questions, good questions, necessary questions.

Who is "we"? The US has reduced emissions records while increasing energy output for a number of years now.

Europe has increased both, regardless of their rhetoric. China of course has increased both as well with more coal plants being built.

Most of the reduction in the US is thanks to fracking/nat.gas displacing coal. Which a lot of people are against.

Focusing on nuclear could get us a lot farther in displacing fossil fuels with nuclear as the baseline energy source.

Unfortunately most people just want to nag each other or cat-o’-nine-tails themselves or yell doomsday on loop instead of pushing for things that actually matter.
