Job training and energy investments tend to have a positive payback on gdp, which is typically how government debt is viewed.

Solar installers help prepare the power grid for more solar, HVACs, and more electric car production, small local battery backups which hopefully with the inflation reduction act incentives are produced domestically. (Consider the damage from California and Hawaiian utility related infrastructure fires as another way an updated grid helps)

Reducing oil and gas needs for domestic energy production facilities increases oil exports.
Pretext: I'm a backend developer that often needs to stare into the abyss that is frontend.

I used to say these same things about reactivity. It was highly confusing to me years ago; as a backend developer doing frontend tasks was always reaching outside of my cookie jar and testing the boundaries of what I knew vs what I thought I knew. Many headaches ensued. That said, using Vue 3 and Svelte 4 has made utilizing stores and reactivity a lot more obvious in my opinion. Things render when they're supposed to and my applications remain performant. As a non-frontend person, I mainly like the APIs that Vue and Svelte bring. In React I'm almost always switching to class based components for what I can do in the compositional API in Vue or what's natively possible in Svelte. That brings a lot of repeated code and doesn't look as clear to people not as familiar with React.

Here is a link to the actual Neuralink site talking about the study: https://neuralink.com/blog/first-clinical-trial-open-for-rec...

This article, which has a lot of bias, doesn't add anything to the announcement other than disparaging it.
Hey, I work for Electric,

Quite right, the latency should be low single figure ms. There is actually a slight bug in how that latency is calculated on the demo and includes an extra render tick, I was digging into it earlier but didn't get a chance to push a fix yet.
For now. But the fork will likely diverge over time, right? I suspect this will cause issues unless compatibility is an explicit goal.

OP here, as someone who does love cooking, I've gone down this route pretty heavily in the last few years - been growing my collection of physical cookbooks and definitely enjoy flipping through them in search of inspiration. So, yeah, very much endorse the cookbook UX!
They're 'laughably simple' on a conceptual level. Adding them to the language in retrospect might genuinely be a bad idea at this point.

The thing which I am personally salty about is that they weren't there to begin with, and that the language wasn't built with them in mind.
Based on your profile and comments, it seems you have some particular grudge against React, so I'm not sure I can convince you of anything React related that you have not already convinced yourself of. Nevertheless, I (nor you, it seems) have not used Svelte 5 yet so I cannot judge, just that based on my, yes, personal experience, 2 way data binding based frameworks create messes. Even though you can shoot yourself in the foot in any language or framework, some are simply better at preventing it, such as C versus Rust, as I analogized.
When the client states that he has a problem, he is always correct. When he tells you what the problem is, he is always wrong.
Right—it’s not gonna happen, so food waste isn’t gonna get meaningfully better, which makes the constant worrying about it kinda a silly distraction. Unless we do want to talk about increasing the price of food.

I noticed the same thing, a few stores have basil plants for sale at prices which always confuse me. Buying a $6 plant (not sure what Trader Joe's has them for these days), even if I was immediately stripping all the leaves off it is sometimes a better deal by itself.
I think the take is far far narrower than that. Although there is no practical/technological problem of hosting your security cam videos on 3rd party servers there is a legal problem which is once you do that data is no longer legally yours and can be silently used without your permission.

I think the minimum requirement for a legally secure cloud hosted camera is E2EE and the camera can't upload unencrypted video at all without the decryption key from the owner.
> A lot of people, especially on hacker news, believe something being on the internet is a license to do whatever the fuck they want with that data.

A license to do whatever the fuck they want? No. To do things other than make copies? Sure. Copyright is the right to copy, no more than that. Learning from something is not copying it. If you want to complain about memorisation, that’s fair. But learning from something is not something copyright was intended to restrict, so no, plenty of people absolutely will not care about copyright when it comes to this kind of thing, and rightly so.
>But your browser tells you when your location is being used?

Is that a question? Yes, it does, at least mine does.

>It’s not like Google can secretly use your location without your browser alerting you to it?

Same thing, ts that actually a question? You shouldn't have location permission being used without your consent.

Yes, it is. That is also why this development is so insisdious and dangerous.

I am confused - the "code" you described is likely a google search away. Well I mean google has become useless but when it worked it was able to find such stuff in one search. So really all I am getting is that gpt is a better google.
Nobody knows what is going on. It’s certainly both. Psychosomatic people and people with real problems. We are just starting to figure out bowel and fatigue problems, and many people have both. Could be allergy, could be antibodies from an infection that accidentally to intentionally looked like elements of food, or the intestinal wall. Could be an exotic form of depression. Nobody knows.

For me I could eat wheat or drink coffee without problems, but both were multiplicatively bad. I chose coffee, but that lasted about six years and it was off the menu too. There is something about Chinese restaurant egg fried rice that just wrecks me. Popular theory is that they use some sort of filler in the eggs. Or something with their brand of soy sauce. Japanese, consumer soy sauce affects me but nowhere near this much. Tamari seems to be fine.
Even the cameras like REOlink 2e are $75. This seems absurd to me. A wifi camera can't be more than what, $5 of hardware? Who is selling the cheapest, most bare bones, raw, wifi camera? Does it even exist or is every single one packaged with crapware software or sexed up by some company to over $75? Do I order direct from China for these?
Yes.
This to me is the same line of thinking as "in a meta study, wearing a helmet makes bikers more reckless and prone to injury so it's actually safer to be helmetless".
No, actually it's safest to wear a helmet AND not become reckless.

So similar approach here - its safer to get the imaging AND remain rational in evaluating results & next steps.
It's not weird.

Honestly never understood this - 2 way is less code and way more understandable to me. Redux style codebases are very difficult for me to understand, and never saw benefits praised for. More frequently was "why isn't this updating?".

Different strokes I suppose.
There are two ways to accomplish this: poke a hole in your home firewall and expose the camera feed to the entire open internet, then attempt to add some kind of authentication system. This is very very hard to get right, don’t do it. The other option is to tunnel your internet connection on the remote device back into your home network so it looks to your remote device like it’s still at home. That’s called a VPN.

I definitely agree that the solution to this tragedy-of-the-commons problem is going to come from the government. It's the only entity big enough to coordinate and muscle solutions into place, and it also has a responsibility beyond financial profit.

That's why I always said the opposite. Internet, media and pundit opinion on the other hand...
No, but if the article headline interested me enough to click into the article, I would Google MNIST if I didn't know it already (ML is full of acronyms for datasets, methods, etc. - can't expect blog posts to define all of them. If it were a paper that didn't define the term, I would be annoyed.)

Also, just because an acronym isn't used doesn't mean you'll understand the jargon. For example, also on the front page is a paper titled "Neurons in Large Language Models: Dead, N-Gram, Positional". No acronyms, but I would certainly need to Google (or actually read the paper, not just the abstract) to know what the 3 terms at the end means (well, I do know what a dead neuron is, but not the other two).

Seems like your comment cut off there, but if you're using class components in React, there will be repeated code, yes, which is why hooks were invented and why they enable you to reuse such code.
Boys and Men in the United States Are Struggling. The Left Should Talk About It
Laws drafted with human capabilities in mind don't necessarily have to apply to machines. It takes motivated reasoning to argue that AI training is exactly the same thing as human learning.
Interesting that they don't have the watermark on the "DALL-E 3" images.
It's a bad benchmark because it's artificially clean. It's effectively a 2d dataset with no occlusions. So nearly everything you try on it will work, and many things you try on it won't scale to typical image problems. There are good 3d datasets with more realistic examples that are still fairly simplistic compared to the state of the art large datasets, but at least give you signal that your technique is robust to common problems in vision. MNIST is so simplistic that you encounter none of the typical problems in computer vision settings so it doesn't give you a good prediction of how good your technique is.

I think the style arose out of a need to fill a 1-minute video targeted at an audience of low attention-span 13 year olds with 9 additional minutes of CONTENT! in order to meet the length requirement for monetization. If the filler CONTENT! is bombastic and sing-songey, it keeps your attention, however vapid it may be.
It was a fun game. Although I didn't realize an image was generated until the end. My responses were too fast for the image gen. Given that this is for kids, I guess images will be ready when they move from point to point.

React Sees a dip in NPM downloads this week
Popular frontend framework react sees a dip in NPM downloads. And I just saw someone asking if Svelte is a good scalable frontend framework option.

I think, people are moving towards newer frameworks more and more. Also, we had Bun 1.0 release coming up. I don't know what is going on. Any thoughts?
The hard core of those voters, yes. The usual 10-15% or radicals and racists. All the others actually have no clue sometimes.
Author of the piece, and I... can't really argue with any of this, tbh. I'll admit both those parts you called out were probably heavily tinged by my own desires, and your more-sober predictions are a very reasonable counterargument for what will happen in the general case. I suppose, especially regarding swappable LLMs, I _do_ only expect it to be an option for devs or sophisticated users; I assume that most folks probably wouldn't care, I'm just hoping there's enough of us that do care that at least some options offer that swappable functionality. Fwiw, I also use Linux (Fedora) as my daily-driver, and I'd be more than content if the predictions from this post came true in a similar vein, e.g. as an OSS option (or family of OSS options) that some subset of users can opt to use.

Hey, thanks :) and yup, lots of complexity and engineering. We're lucky because we're building on a lot of research and previous work.

The model is Transactional Causal+ Consistency (TCC+). This has been formally proven to be the strongest possible consistency mode for an AP database system.

We have a page on literature here https://electric-sql.com/docs/reference/literature, which includes the Cure paper http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7536539/ on TCC+ and the highly available transactions paper https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.14778/2732232.2732237

Annette Bieniusa, Nuno Preguiça and Marc Shapiro from our team are authors of the Cure work (amongst many other things!).

Re: rollbacks, our model is to provide finality of local-writes:

I broadly agree, and certainly for staples and root crops, it blows my mind how cheap supermarkets can be. The amount of work, land, pesticides, fertilizers, seeds, etc. it takes to grow a few kilogram of carrots manually is insane compared to being able to buy at 50p/kg at the supermarket. That really shows the level of industrialisation and automation involved in large scale farming.

Which is why I focus on specific crops that I've identified as being valuable or useful to me.

Basil, of course, I already mentioned, and similar to basil is other green and leafy veg, such as spinach, mint, coriander, rocket, spring onions and cress. They grow so quickly and easily that I guess the majority of the cost in a supermarket is the packaging and logistics. I also grow a lot of soft fruits such as strawberries because supermarket fruits are expensive and bland tasting compared to a freshly picked ripe strawberry. Squashes are good to grow as they're quite prolific producers without much effort, yet fairly expensive to buy in the supermarket. Garlic, chilli, tomato, runner beans and leeks I grow mainly because I can choose the cultivars I like, and find they're tastier than the ones I can get in the supermarket.

Of course, the biggest input I'm obviously not accounting for is my time, but as it's an enjoyable hobby that's good for my physical and mental health, that doesn't factor in for me. Plus, I think it's a good life skill to know how to grow food, and it's interesting to try and do it in a sustainable way, e.g. permaculture, supporting pollinators, producing your own compost, propagating your own seeds, capturing and storing water onsite, etc.

I certainly wouldn't quit my job and become a farmer, but I do think growing some of your own food is something everyone should at least try once if they have the space. Also as a general rule, animals require a larger scale to make a profit than do vegetables.

This entire paragraph reads “because the experts say so”

Well I have to say that because I am not a pour-over drinker and I have no experience with grinders other than my Niche. I think I was pretty clear about the fact that I was relaying hear-say rather than speaking from my own experience.

Cherokee Purple and Black Krim are two of my favorites, but they admittedly don't always grow quite as vigorously as some other (less tasty) varieties. Still, they grow 5 to 6 feet high and produce 40+ pounds of fruit per plant. And the tomato growing season here is only mid-May through mid-September.
I read a post a while back by a guy who claimed to be managing a long term condition he had via homemade blood monitoring and pills containing something that earlier trials had shown were effective at managing the condition (I don't think it was diabetes, but it had a similar flavor to treating diabetes with something other than insulin.)

He explained that he eventually went blind in one eye because he had miscalculated the dose of something in his pill and eventually OD'd on it.

My reaction to the story was: "This is fantastic. More people should be doing this." (Obviously not the going blind part.)

What I do want is for it to be more widely recognized that we have in fact reached a point where it is possible for people to make their own blood tests, identify promising treatments in the scientific literature, and make their own medicine. I can't help but think that if that guy had been sharing his treatment with a like-minded community, someone else may have caught his dosing error.
Thats the case now too if you use the API and not the labs version
that's interesting. I wonder if this is just excluding countries or has some technical requirements as well.

A large proportion of at-risk groups don't take any available preventative (they wouldn't be at risk otherwise) so it isn't difficult to find enough people.

People are also much more willing to take one or a few doses for free vs having to continuously take a preventative forever (even if free there are time and transport costs to getting refills).
The better IO will let humans directly interface with non-AGI AI to compete. Imagine if GPT-4 could be accessed just by thinking. Now imagine the same except with GPT-7 or w/e we get to by then. So it doesn't last for a short time, it's a permanent plug in to AI itself.

Corporate and governmental access are extremely scary. Companies will, as always, have to be the first movers in this space, but once it takes off we NEED open hardware and open source software. Imagine running an obfuscated binary on your brain. No thank you.

Do you really see technology like this *not* coming to fruition though? Do you think we will never have mass-market BCIs?

I think the author's point is that tracing is a better implementation of both logs and metrics, and I think it's a valid point.
* metrics are pre-aggregated into timeseries data, which makes cardinality expensive. You could also aggregate a value from a trace statement.
* Logs are hand crafted and unique, and are usually improved by adding structured attributes. Structured attributes are better as traces because you can have execution context and well defined attributes that provide better detail.

Traces can be aggregated or sampled to provide all of the information available from logs, but in a more flexible way.
* Certain traces can be retained at 100%. This is equivalent to logs.
* Certain trace attributes can be converted to timeseries data. This is equivalent to metrics.
* Certain traces can be sampled and/or queried with streaming infrastructure. This is a way to observe data with high cardinality without hitting the high cost.
One really hilarious thing only Apple could do is have a ruling relationship of their fake people in messages/emails. Like "oh, baby is born", then "first day at school" a few years later, "diagnosed with cancer," etc.

It's a shame they didn't do this, especially for Johnny Appleseed. Or maybe they tried and got shot down.
