> which has seemingly been ignored

I read comments like this almost every time SpaceX is mentioned here, and climate crisis extremists bang on about it endlessly. It’s impossible to ignore, it’s just that most people disagree.

>you can call CO2 harmless all you want…

I did not do so, thank you very much. I’m aware of the issues. Climate change is a real problem, but exaggerated histrionics aren’t going to solve problems.

>Musk’s pass to wreck the Earth… pretending that there isn’t a sacrifice being made…

He has no such pass, and nobody’s pretending anything of the sort. See above about exaggerated histrionics. They’re so obviously absurd it does the climate change cause no good whatsoever. To mainstream voters it makes extinction rebellion folks look like a fanatical cult dissociated from reality, and by association undermines the credible and important climate change cause. A cause Musk has probably done more to physically advance through direct personal action than all but maybe a handful of other human beings on Earth.
Right. Specifically, the codomain needs to be an abelian group. And even that is not sufficient as one needs also an action of the field of scalars on that codomain with the right properties.
One way to view this formula is to use the fact that the Beta distribution is a conjugate prior for the binomial distribution.

Essentially if you have a Beta(a, b) prior then your prior mean is a/(a+b) and after observing n samples from a Bernoulli distribution that are all positive, your posterior is Beta(a+n, b) with posterior mean (a+n)/(a+n+b). So in your example you effectively have a Beta(0, x) prior and x (“suspicious”/“gullible”) is directly interpreted as the strength of your prior!
No, the concept of Wikifunctions and Abstract Wikipedia has been brewing for some years. It's basically an extension/complement to Wikidata and the efforts to collect as much information as possible on Wikipedia in a language-agnostic way.
I think most researchers would consider such a phenomena far from obvious and thus worthy of publication.

Do you know or have any references on this? If one disregards the emphasis on alignment and "merely" considers the "less overfitting" aspect, that would seem very profound in and of itself, a capability to avoid overfitting.

If you look at historical debates in the sciences, where universal truths are sought, candidate truths are intentionally and adversarially stretched to apparent or real inconsistencies in order to test the universality of a claim.

Think of say the back and forths between Einstein and Bohr concerning entanglement. They are assuming adversarial roles, tricking each others belief system into expressing the absurd. Together they mapped out predictions for non-obvious or outright bizarre aspects of reality. If no-one dares to take a potentially vulnerable position, there will be nothing to attack, but also nothing to disturb the scientific mind and prod the community into settling the matter by measurements.

Wouldn't this have the same problem as other non-sugar sweeteners? I think one of the main arguments against Aspartame is that it still invokes an insulin response, so still has a lot of the negative side effects of sugar intake, even if it doesn't have calories.

You are not their target market.

The average American consumes 17 teaspoons of sugar per day. Because the average American doesn’t like the taste of most processed foods unless it is sweetened significantly.

Look at savory snacks like crackers - even those are loaded with sugar.

Take something like Wheat Thins Tomato and Basil flavor. Sounds savory? A 30g serving has 4g sugar. Yes, a savory snack consisting of 13.3% sugar.
You can absolutely do this in Go. In a webserver you panic and recover your goroutines for 500’s or other failures that you deem invalid states.

There’s a qualitative difference between what we call 500 errors or 400 errors and it’s a good thing to handle the former by throwing exceptions or panicing and the latter with normal program flow and error values.

Errors that you can sensibility handle and display are part of your domain logic, just values and functions. They should be handled and contextualised right there at the site they come up.

Errors that represent invalid program states should be thrown as far as possible and handled at the edge.

There was all kinds of mean, nasty, ugly-lookin' people on
the bench there ... there was Microcoders, DPL hackers, File System
hackers, and Window System Hackers!! Window System hacker sittin'
right there on the bench next to me! And the meanest, ugliest,
nastiest one... the kludgiest Window System hacker of them all... was
comin' over to me, and he was mean and ugly and nasty and horrible and
all kinds of things, and he sat down next to me. He said, "Kid, you
get a new copy of the sources?" I said, "I didn't get nothin'. I had
to rebuild the world load."

He said, "What were you arrested for, kid?" and I said,
"Littering..." And they all moved away from me on the bench there,
with the hairy eyeball and all kinds of mean, nasty things, 'til I
said, "And making gratuitous modifications to LMIO; sources..." And
they all came back, shook my hand, and we had a great time on the
bench talkin' about microcoding, DPL designing, file-system hacking,
... and all kinds of groovy things that we was talkin' about on the
bench, and everything was fine.

We was drinking Coke smoking all kinds of things, until the
RA came over, had some paper in his hand, held it up and said:

> So you list all the things that the ideal version of yourself must have and a long list of things you must do. But to make any progress on your goal, you have the cognitive load of keeping track of all the requirements you’ve put on yourself. I speculate that this is why many New Year’s resolutions fail; the abstraction for building your future self is weak.

Or people just pop them off their stack willy-nilly because it’s a vague tradition to do so. Because most people who are old enough to be serious about a “New Year’s resolution” also are old enough to understand that if you really want to accomplish something or change something, it takes time and dedication and not just pinky-swearing at midnight over champagne.

Also, not to nitpick, but the reason people make lists of things to get done is so that there is literally no cognitive load in keeping track of them. And it’s a weird pivot to go from people have a lot of things they think they want to accomplish to writers write and runners run (literally cases where people have only one thing they want to accomplish).

The framing of this piece was so weird.
Yeah I think unfortunately it’s just option 1.
I described some of the regulation we need.

People buying these devices are simply ill-informed about the risks that they pose to other drivers and pedestrians because companies like Comma deliberately withhold the information.

And given innocent lives are at stake the onus should be on being cautious about technologies like these until they are proven.
Are late night home parties with loud music also considered free speech or is it an illegal nuisance?
Come on, in the end it's the driver that's responsible. It is in fact a "car accessory".

Calling for "more regulation" will blow out small companies like comma ai out of the market. It's a miracle one can get stuff like this for older cars. If big auto manufacturers had their way you couldn't change wiper blades without buying a new car. As someone driving an 18 year old car I hope there will be more companies like comma ai. (of course my car is too old to use with comma).

TECO really is that incomprehensible. I don't understand it myself, but here's another example that I remember seeing in Marvin Minsky's home directory on MIT-AI, which I'm glad I asked about years ago on HN, because Harold Ancel just happened to save a copy of it:

Just want to add a bit to round this out a bit more. Even if I were a manager for a team and I found out a member of my team was looking for work, why would I stop them? Frankly, I might even consider encouraging them to look. “See if you can find a better opportunity.” As a manager, I would ultimately want the best for them. It’s almost always in my best interest to let them search unless there are very clear and immediate actions I can take to keep them happy long term. Why keep an employee who’s not invested? That can do so much damage to a team, it’s hard to imagine until you experience it. Pay alone is not enough to motivate someone to stay long term. I think this is a common misconception because it’s often given in exit interviews as a cop out to avoid burning bridges. “I left because of pay” is often given as a reason because it’s just such an easy excuse to not really piss anyone off.

Way way more often, the case is either flat out bad management or misalignment of the employee expectations with management and/or organizational vision which is way way harder to quantify so thus, nobody does. In the latter, there are often performance issues anyway.

All that said, I’ve worked for companies and have also seen people fired just for simply “looking.” Usually this is a sign of clear toxicity in the company culture because the management ego was hurt when they found out their employee was disloyal. We all know the company would just kick an employee to the curb at the first sign of trouble so it’s unfair to expect anything else from an employee.

Comma is not selling openpilot (the software that makes your car self-driving), but they are selling the Comma devices that out-if-the-box just include dashcam functionality and a few additional features.

Openpilot is an open-source project on Github that makes cars self-driving and that also runs on regular Linux PCs as well as those Comma devices.

Do you suggest that Comma should not be allowed to sell the Comma devices anymore (that out of the box work as a Dashcam)? Or do you suggest that Comma should not be allowed to contribute to an open-source project that can make cars self-driving?

This is my major gripe with the article. While useful for intuition, that "..." after the sum is mathematically meaningless. This is also a common issue with quantum mechanics as taught at an introductory level. But it seems the article, similarly to intro QM courses, is more about motivating functional analysis concepts, which is useful as exposition even if not rigorous.
Newton was a member of the British elite, he had income from Cambridge University, and he was first the Warden and later the Master of the Royal Mint. He was also experienced in investments.

Nevertheless, he also got sucked into the infamous South Sea mania of 1720, which was basically the monkey JPG of its day, and consequently he lost a great deal of his wealth.

In summary;

- Sweet protein, 3000x sweeter than sugar

- Same texture/consistency as sugar.

- Can be baked (modified to be temperature stable)

- Unlikely to affect insulin and gut flora.

- Breaks down into common amino acids.

- Produced through fermentation (cheap & scalable).

- Indistinguishable taste profile compared to sugar (according to taste experts)

- May be on the market 2023 (if approved)

One layman question here maybe someone with better knowledge of the field can answer: could it make sense at some point to work without masks and lights and have only large scale laser arrays that write the structures directly but in the smallest possible scale (electrons)? Wouldn’t such an array be more energy efficient, be able to acquire smaller scales and trough the parallel process at some point be as fast as current systems using masks + light?
I hadn't heard of RedwoodJS before but, from a quick look at their website, it seems to be a fullstack framework, server and data access layer included.

NextJS is similar to RedwoodJS in that it also provides some server functionality but it's definitely less of a fullstack framework than RedwoodJS.

In both cases, the main difference is that Vite React Boilerplate is purely a frontend template. It does not include a backend or a means for database access.

Looking at what's included, RedwoodJS is definitely the most kitted out. It has everything you need and moves the burden of configuration and setup completely over to the project maintainers.

NextJS is the opposite. It gives you demo project but you still have to setup your environment this means deleting demo files, reorganizing the folder/file structure, modifying/adding configs, adding additional dependencies, etc.

Vite React Boilerplate is in between the two in this sense. The project comes with reasonable config defaults, adds utility packages for UI like storybook, and headlessui, builds on the default package.json scripts by adding additional commands that will most likely be added later on, and includes tools for improving commits and using git hooks, etc.

Also, this starter template doesn't support SSR or SEO specific tooling like NextJS does. If that is a requirement then NextJS is probably a better fit since it's supported out of the box. Not to say it won't work with this template but it will take some setup on your part.

All in all, they all seem to fill different niches.
I don't understand why there would need to be separate advanced learning programs in schools.

In fact, every school already has an advanced learning program. It's called the next grade!

Not only are there social benefits from having mixed age groups of children (younger ones learn by observing the older ones), but they could also each learn at their own level. There's absolutely no reason for age-separated schooling.

These are just my opinions though, it differs from company to company. One place the difference between a Developer and a Senior Developer was a senior could be expected to own a feature and all the moving parts to get it deployed, eg: taking it to the board, organising all the approvals and business requirements with other teams etc. Other places senior just means "not junior" and the roles are the same, you just expect more talent from the senior.

Sure, we are close to the end of silicon semiconductor improvements. And Moores law could be near its end. In fact the price per transistor has not been dropping recently, so it may be over already.

No, I think this is meaningless. What you're refering to is the brain. Positing a subcoscious mind adds nothing to the explanatory model since everything this supposed entity does is already done by the brain and pretty well understood at that. Occam's razor. You're stuck in old Cartesian metaphysics (dualism and parallelism) which has been superceded by better scientific undetstandings for quite a while now.
