The article seemed so overly biased against the studies even the concepts discussed in the earlier studies that didn't 'replicate', that I was immediately put on guard and didn't trust the statements about any current studies sited in opposition.

And, the last half kind of went off the rails.
It almost turned into a rant against any hint that humans might be 'mechanistic'.
But, there was no opposing theory around human thought or actions presented except "Its Quantum Mechanics" and that came off as "Woo".

So I was left with a kind of whiplash between the start with kind of reasonable questioning (paraphrase) 'all these studies showing humans can be influenced are wrong and woo', then the end of the article (paraphrase) 'humans are completely rational, there is no un-conscious influences, but we don't know how but maybe Quantum Mechanics".

At the beginning of the article, there was a lot of time spent discussing "Replication".

Then by the end it's "Science doesn’t work that way anymore, but few have gotten the message. ... Ever since quantum mechanics came to be, and quantum mechanics is probably the greatest scientific idea of this century (n.b. the 20th -ed.), you can kiss goodbye to causal explanation. "

So? Just a really long argument against Physics in the sense of Mechanistic/Clockwork Universe, but then turning around and using Quantum Physics to call upon Quantum Strangeness to bypass Causes/Effect.

All to get rid of the 'clockwork view'. But for what? To imbue humans with something more 'mystical', like a 'soul' or something? Cause and effect are tossed out, but nothing put forth to replace what is being torn down.

AMD Acquires an AI Software Company
When I was about 30 and wanted to scratch the same itch, I found an introductory electronics course being run at my local community college. From distant memory, it definitely covered off resistors, capacitors, coils, Ohm's Law, then worked its way to transistors and I think op amps. Somewhere along the way we got into the basics of creating logic gates, which also served to fill a void I had in my understanding of computers.

At a much younger age, I was interested in amateur radio. As luck would have it, I learned of a night school course being held at one of the local high schools that was meant to teach you everything you needed to know to get your license. The instructor (late 20s, if I had to guess) really knew his stuff. I think this gave me a far better grasp of the relevant electromagnetic and electronics theory and practice than I feel is made available through present-day amateur radio "memorize the answers and some context around them" teaching materials. My point is, if you want to stretch your understanding of electronics, it's possible a local ham might be another good option to consider.
Seems good, but I need to pay OpenAI for API access to use this right?
Google Blockly
Exactly my use case. I admin a community of around 20 people that chat together about games and to pass the day at work sometimes. We post stupid stuff or interesting things to read. Some days pass by with zero messages, some are frenzied. We get in voice channels and chat and game together.

I am a guest in other similarly sized circles' discord servers and this way I keep in touch with different groups.

For this use case, Discord is gold. And I happily pay for Nitro. For anything else like searching a wiki, it sucks, but it is not its use case.

> I'm always somewhat amazed that Chamath Palihapitiya doesn't have a much worse reputation:

One of the thing he did right was to call out the VCs involved in the FTX scam. They all turned a very blind eye to SBF's wrongdoings while any five minutes googling before investing would have led to posts explaining the very scam SBF was running. VCs basically basically participated in the pump and dump of shit tokens by FTX. To me they're complicit in the FTX scam.

Not even five minutes. Two minutes of googling was all it took to discover who SBF really was. But I take it maybe the VCs knew but still wanted their share of the scam.

Chamath Palihapitiya very clearly talked about this: at best the complete lack of due diligence and amateurism, at worst being complicit in the Alameda/FTX scam.

He used the term "our own brethren" to refer to VCs participating and encouraging the FTX ponzi.

I never need this. Just the work to get the code out of ChatGPT correctly is usually more effort than writing it. And besides - most of the time there is a huge amount of context and ChatGPT knows nothing about it. I touch dozens if not hundreds of files every day. Doing a little tweak here or there which rarely takes more than a few seconds to do. And the rest of the time I spend thinking and designing.
Does that bytecode do anything more efficient than allocating arrays inside of arrays inside of arrays etc? Does it ensure they’re contiguous? Does a multidimensional array allocated in this way still require pointer chasing to get to the values?

It’s not really a helpful statement. Initializing a single flat array with stride metadata alongside gives you memory locality and arithmetic access. Intuitively, I wouldn’t expect the special multidimensional array bytecode to provide any of that.

If you're at the start of a company writing an MVP, then you're spot on. If the code isn't being written for a startup in the early stages, this doesn't make sense.

Writing bad code that just "gets it done" is the proverbial broken window. It's how you end up with shitty code-bases that get shittier with every change, until it all collapses under its own issues.

Doing this on established code-bases is basically what the classical duct tape programmer does. Sure, you deliver "business value" in the short term (normally to claim credit and gain favor) but at the expense of everything and everyone else.

Ask HN: Learning to be neurotypical (or fake it) as a neurodivergent person
Hello everyone. I am what is known as a neurodivergent person, which mainly means, in my case at least, that I have trouble inserting myself in social groups and understanding the cues. This affects how I interact with others and understand social cues. Therefore, sometimes people might think that I act like a kid, that I am asocial or weird (here too I might read a bit robotic). However, I enjoy being around people, even if I just listen to them silently.

Whether you are a neurotypical person or a neurodivergent person who has learned to overcome your divergence, do you have any suggestions, tips, or tricks to improve it myself? I'm interested in both perspectives.

Remember that BASIC was developed on minicomputers in the later 1960s. I think the first book of type-in games was this 1973 book

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BASIC_Computer_Games

which David Ahl wrote to help promote DEC's minicomputers which I saw a lot of as a kid because I grew up in New Hampshire right next to DEC's headquarters in Massachusetts and DEC donated numerous machines to schools. Before my high school got a VAX (a 32-bit machine a lot like the 386) it had a PDP-8 which had a printing terminal and two video terminals and I think 24K 12-bit words. It could support three sessions running BASIC or boot up in a one session mode and run

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossal_Cave_Adventure

Some schools had much nicer PDP-11 machines which had 8-bit words and could give each user a 64-bit address space so the BASIC experience was a lot like a top-of-the-line home computer. Dave Ahl saw micros were the future so he started Creative Computing magazine and came out with this sequel in 1980

https://doc.lagout.org/science/0_Computer%20Science/0_Comput...

I had a TRS-80 Color Computer back then which was pretty unusual and my take was that most games from those books were pretty portable and you could usually get them working on any micro of the day with simple modifications if any.

Now those text adventures were a special case, there is the issue of (1) not wanting to reveal the text, but also the fact that (2) is is cumbersome to express that kind of behavior in basic, and (3) the programs get very big. Text adventures of the 1980s were usually written in a specialized object-based interpreter. The most famous was infocom's z-machine

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-machine

which is still used today. I think every Z-machine interpreter of that era was written in assembly, but

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Adams_(game_designer)

developed his own interpreter that was simpler but more specialized than the Z-machine. Scott developed a BASIC version of his interpreter which you could type in, and also developed assembler versions of the interpreter for many machines like the black&white TRS-80, Apple ][, etc.

Both the ZIL machine and the Scott Adams Interpreter had compilers which would turn human-readable code into a binary file that the interpreter would play.

For what it is worth, there is an electronics teaching lab at Phillips Hall at Cornell University named after David Ahl that I often walk past on the way home from work.
There isn't a set one. "Antynaukowy" (lit. "anti-science") is the most common I've seen, perhaps because it's close to a well-established term "antyszczepionkowiec" ("anti-vaxxer") - but most often, it's just any of the expression that contains the core term of "anti science" or "denying science", such as "antynaukowe poglądy" ("anti-scientific beliefs"), "zaprzeczasz nauce" ("you're denying science"), etc.
> AI lowered the barrier to entry of just generating a large body of text and self-publishing

Honestly, most of the generated stuff I've seen at length (as in, more than 1 or 2 page lengths of content) just devolves to gibberish. The words and sentences are syntactically correct, but mostly irrelevant or meaningless in the context of the story as a whole. It's like reading a collage of stories jammed together with no real artistry.

You can self publish that (people do) but it's not really much improved on the old scam of just publishing copy-pasta bullshit.

I think there can be space for LLMs to do things here, but right now they are absolutely not a replacement for an author with a story they want to tell.

They are more like a calculator: If you have a clear picture of a scene/character/setting, the LLM can flesh out a lot of options for you to pick and choose from to best match your intent. It does mundane work in support of your goal - it has no goal itself.

> Deliberately aiming for something worse in hopes of public/industrial acceptance is not a good approach IMO.

It's not "worse", it's a tradeoff between backwards compatibility and fixups. Backwards compatibility is a really useful feature in and of itself, and the question is whether this outweighs the usefulness of all the tiny fixups. In my opinion it mostly does.
It's apparently possible to do it to Passivhaus standards, but I don't know what you need to tweak to get there. It would be an interesting exercise to try, though.

It's the sort of thing that's got me thinking that the next time I need to build a garden shed I'll give it a go. Anything that doesn't need foundations, like a deck with a roof on an existing concrete pad, or similar, I'd give it a go to get some experience with it. Round here that wouldn't need planning permission so it's comparatively low-risk. Just need to make sure whatever I did to replace the ties into the foundation blocks was suitable, but that doesn't strike me as beyond the wit of man.
OpenGL is far more beginner friendly than Vulkan. Vulkan (along with DirectX 12) is an API designed for professional graphics programmers, whereas OpenGL is a lot more accessible and manages a lot of state for you under the hood.

And, to save you some time with debugging, use RenderDoc to debug your graphics pipeline: https://renderdoc.org/

https://learnopengl.com/ is my favorite beginner resource for OpenGL

as an aside, I like DirectX better than OpenGL, but you said Linux, so...

Consumer GPUs made matrix multiplications orders of magnitudes cheaper and the resulting new wave of AIs are unlocking new cognitive capabilities by just throwing money to the problem, in a way that scales to billions of dollars. This is different than how things were before. Now the capabilities are pretty much just limited by how many AI acceleration chips can be made at TSMC and Samsung or wherever, and by how many billions of dollars of capital can be spent to buy them. Also using these tools isn't any kind of choice, it would be like early humans wondering what reservations or criticism we have regarding the use of speech or writing.

It's a very shallow understanding of US culture, but that's fair enough because CNN/Fox/MSM and other political outlets are a very shallow display of US culture.

Very few conservatives would be upset with the FDA being focused on "truth in packaging" as opposed to "FDA-approved" translating to "force employers/schools to force this on everyone" (aka experimental COVID shots).

Very few conservatives want to remove all regulation - many I know like the safety of the banking system as opposed the scam-heavy crypto market. However, we don't like over-zealous political enforcement of regulations (aka IRS doing targeted audits on conservative leaning institutions) or every transaction being reported to the government.

You are correct there isn't a meaningful economic difference between Democrats and Republicans right now. Both parties are letting inflation run rampant, have done little to fight taxes, deficits, or debts, and have no sense of financial responsibility to their taxpayers or voters, even though they both scream it when they are the minority party.

However, most Conservatives care about the federal debt/deficit, even if all the Republicans in the House don't. That's why Congress's approval rating is crap.

You can go ahead and call it "server as a service" (and have everyone look at you funny) while the rest of the development world cares zero about the pedantry and continues to build serverless applications without worrying about planning around or maintaining a server.

"Serverless uses servers!" can be added to the list of predictable comments, along with "The Economics Nobel isn't real!" and "Correlation isn't causation!". We get it, it doesn't need to be repeated every time an adjacent subject is discussed.

I think what you are implying above is that we can take a study or survey about autoimmune disease and use it to make conclusions about allergies. All I am saying is that this does not logically follow, because the two are not the same and “allergy” is not a strict subclass of “autoimmune disease”. The specific details of the mechanism are not relevant to the logical point unless those details establish a subclass or identity relationship (which here they do not).
