There's some argument to be made that a form of reasoning happens in a roundabout way when the AI is told to explain it's reasoning.

For example if you tell it "Do <thing>" and then open a new context and say "Do <thing>, explain your reasoning beforehand." you will often get a more accurate response.

Granted, it's not that any "Hmm, let me think about that." Deep Thought reasoning occurs, but simply that predicting what the reasoning would look like and then predicting what comes after that reasoning results in a more accurate - and ironically, reasoned - response.

Kinda funny actually, it's a bit like how in Hitchiker's Guide they just had to tell the probability machine to calculate the odds of an improbability drive in order to create it.

Tasks like summarization and translation get extremely low hallucinations. The more a model "doesn't know" and "has to guess", the more it hallucinates. This isn't much of a problem with what i like to call "morphing" tasks.

I understand what you are trying to say, but it makes absolutely no sense and it's terrible word-thinking.

Let me repeat. HN, by itself, is not a business. It is pointless to talk about its "business model", "funding", "revenue" or whether is breaks even or not. HN is not a core part of YC.

Twitter/Facebook/Reddit are at its core social media networks. They wouldn't exist as businesses if they are not expecting to get any type of revenue based on their social media offering. There is no way to compare any of them with HN.

I agree I think the cell is key as its the foundation of the energy dynamics of the cell.

And re: the epistemological questions, etc: I think there's a temptation for people to look for a transcendent, teleological prescription for the 'why' of life; which can range from either 'God' to some abstract 'progress' concept where nature proceeds to 'higher stages' etc (panspermia, gaia, whatever). It's deeply part of at least western culture since at least Aristotle and Plato to use these kinds of tools.

But I believe the 'answer' here is just a big messy 'immanent' one rather than any transcendent order. Life happened as it happened because it happened... and it will unhappen someday, too.

And of course we would not be here to ask questions about it if it hadn't, so is it really a puzzle that needs a formula to answer it?

Humans look for "reasons" for things because that's a useful conceptual tool for understanding why other people in our kin groups do things, or why a herd of gazelle we're hunting is in a particular place, or why a plant we harvest from didn't grow well this year.

But there's no reason to assume that this conceptual tool makes any sense for understanding "life" or "existence." It's a crude instrument. At that level, there is no "why", there is only "is".

(And I'd posit further we should not make assumptions like "oh it happened here [us] so it must have happened elsewhere because <xxxx principle / transcendent order / natural progression> ... so ... Star Trek!"; the universe is massive, yes, but that doesn't mean the precise events duplicate multiple times and it does seem like complex multicellular life was a kind of ... fluke ...)

>Is your gripe that you don't like TLS?

I'm flabberghasted that that's what you took away from my comments. I thought I was very clear. My issue is the lack of HTTP support in HTTP/3 implementations shipped by the mega-corps (CA HTTPS only). CA TLS is definitely the least worst solution we have and I am not against it. I am saying major browsers' HTTP/3 implementations lack of bare HTTP support in HTTP/3, combined with short TLS cert lifetimes these days, is effectively attestation and that's bad. "Basically there is no HTTP/3 without a TLS certificate." is bad.

It could be slightly mitigated by the mega-corp implementations of HTTP/3 they ship accepting non-CA root based self-signed certs with a scaremongering click-through. But that's also no longer an option. If no company running a CA will give you a cert you'll simply be unvisitable (on HTTP/3). It makes the web something only for commercially approved sites.

My noob understanding of this article:

Multi-cellular life split into plants and animals ~800myo, during the Avalon Explosion.

Science has long assumed high concentration of oxygen predates animals.

But researchers have now determined that oxygen levels were far lower than thought necessary when evolution of animals started to really take off.

So now we must come up with new theories for origins and evolutionary explosion of animals.

Assuming that people are generally as good as I chose to believe I expect the advertising industry to realize that they are in the wrong and revert to content based advertising.

Realistically I expect that they'll find a way around the link tracking protection and not give a shit.

It's just that I fail to see how a group of people can be so insensitive, so fixated on profit that they ignore everything related to moral. How can an entire industry be so detached from everything from any concept of right or wrong.

Before the flood of remote work die-hards start to flood this thread I want to implore you to spend that energy making better tools for remote collaborating.

It’s been 3 years since we started social distancing and exactly nothing is different today vs then.

We are still stuck in Notion, Zoom, and Slack. The unlucky ones are on MS Teams.

Remote learning is terrible for most people, remote training is similar. Ad hoc collaboration is still high friction, dev environments are highly local (where’s figma for web dev?)

Some of you are highly skilled and use these existing tools optimally but you don’t have the elevation to see that huge swaths of the workforce are struggling.
Not the majority, just a *lot* of older ones.

New Android phones have hardware-backed SafetyNet, new Windows devices have Trusted Boot (not to be confused with Secure Boot).

Both can and will be used to attest the browser environment. Linux devices will get hit (unless I guess we see locked down signed kernels, Chromebook-like things).
PATs give exactly the same control. You could trivially require a PAT on the first page load, before the browser gets to receive any of the content. And header-based protocol can always be converted to a JS-driven protocol just by having the requests be issued from JS.

Content-binding is a necessity for the actual intended use case of these protocols (abuse prevention), but useless for the thing people are afraid of (DRM for the web).

> But even so I can't interpret a requirement to be non-remote as "a hostile work environment", "extraordinary", or "unreasonable". But yes, it does look more like a termination than a voluntary resignation.

I think a unilateral change to the employment contract that substantially changes the character of the work (from fully remote to in-person) could fairly easily be described as 'unreasonable', just as if your employer decided to cut your salary in half.

The fate of any potential case would probably come down to the reasonable expectations of the parties. If there was a common understanding that remote work was permanent, then a unilateral change would be unreasonable; if the remote work was time-limited, probationary, or a trial, then the change might be reasonable even if undesired.

The value add is pretty clear and good, but the downsides are probably bigger than the value add, so personally I wouldn't say the compromise is worth it.
>> Or you can do machine learning in JavaScript so python is useless

> Said no one ever.

I want to reply to this point because I have some relevant & interesting experience here. I've done a fair amount of consulting for companies who have a scenario that goes like this:

- founder starts business in their free time, in a language they know well, as a monolith.

- founder gets a few customers and decides to scale the business

- founder decides they need to use "AI" to solve some business problem

- founder hires a person who is great at solving that particular problem.

- that person wants to use python (of course they do) but the monolith is not in python so various tensions ensue.

- the founder (or someone else on the engineer team) inevitably says "you can do ML in $LANGUAGE_WE_CHOSE, why use python? We didn't chose python because $REASONS_PYTHON_SUCKS.

You'd be surprised how often the language they chose is javascript and how often the reason not to use python is that they can't share code between the client and server. So unfortunately that example wasn't pulled out of nowhere
> he'll keep the domain

Unless the company forgets to renew the domain because everyone who would be responsible for that has quite or been fired. Not that I think this is at all likely, but God would it be hilarious.
The distinction I believe is between selling ads on your own properties based on what people do on those same properties, and selling ads on other properties and/or basing it on tracked behavior on other properties.

No. They're just saying that if they're invisible, most people won't care. They're not saying anything about what should or shouldn't happen.
Whatever the regulations about portion sizes are, they’re independent from the measurement units used. The government is allowed to regulate portion sizes of 568ml, 284ml and 189ml.

“Un-guru-ing” Ourselves
Interesting article! Particularly about gatekeeping and the fact that code review should be a collaborative process.

There are some tools out there that make code review an easier and more collaborative process. One of them is Pullpo PR channels (https://pullpo.io/)where an ephemeral Slack channel is opened for every PR with all team members involved and notifications are sent to update members about all changes made to the PR. Once the PR is merged, the channel gets automatically archived in both GitHub and Slack.

A tool like this keeps team members in communication, maximizing the time spent on code review while also enabling it to be an interactive and communal process if wanted.

Great read :)

The only VR game that has had staying power among my friends is VTOL VR. VTOL is a combat flight sim based around near future jets and helicopters. This is where I see the greatest growth potential in VR, in simulators and stationary immersive experiences. Walking around is cumbersome and aiming with physical controllers doesn't feel as clean as M&K, but sitting in a cockpit and pushing buttons while the world flies around you at mach 2 feels amazing.

My uncle in Newport WA, close to the Id border and pretty isolated (although the house has electrical service now) used a solar shower for a long time. But there wasn’t actually enough sun to be off grid all that much, and unless you have running water to build a water wheel, some grid access is needed. You could probably do more with solar in scrub areas, but you might need some kind of diesel generator back up for the dark winter.

Feel free to open up an issue! We have been focused more on high-level features (such as integration with S3, Postgres, Snowflake, SQLite, etc) and therefore we are missing many functions that already exist on Polars. Good news is that it is very quick to add them, so just let us know. :)
These companies were counting on a major economic downturn to scare employees back, and since that didn't happen are now going to use mandates and accept some increased attrition. It will work cause they all overhired like crazy, but maybe one in ten of the employees that quits as a result was truly essential and there will be some chaos internally as a result.
This is open source, feel free to make a PR or at least file an issue for these concerns.

The 46-Min Max Flight Time is very interesting, carrying 2 extra batteries you can achieve approximately 2 hours of continuous flight time, even with all the caveats:

Data is for reference only. Always pay attention to reminders in the app during flight"

I’m a fellow ADHD sufferer and you’re 100% right that it is disabling in many contexts where “normal” function is optimal. But I want to encourage you not to despair entirely—-there are legitimate ways in which the ADHD mind has an edge. Mainly in recognizing lateral connections that neurotypical people might not see—-in essence, creativity, innovation. Not that neurotypical people can’t be creative, they obviously can be. But the ADHD mind has been shown to have this unusual quality. It’s why people with ADHD are often especially good conversationalists and jokers, even if they are terrible at getting their taxes done on time.
