The voice thing still surprises me. I have a constant monologue and I honestly can't separate that from "thinking". I was always aware mine was more random/silly/manic than most and likely faster, basically a chatter box that won't shut up vs the calmer "can stop and listen" type voice I presumed normal brains have. But I struggle to imagine not having an inner voice at all. I have brief moments if I'm really in the zone or absorbed by a book or a film where it quietens or fades away but as soon as I actively think anything it's immediately back. Is it not really boring not having one? Like how do you talk to yourself to think things through? Can you even do that? If it's not obvious I have ADHD, specifically inattentive, so getting lost in my thoughts is my default state.

On the picturing things side, I don't know how to describe it. I can just imagine objects, models, layouts etc in my mind and turn around like in modelling software. It's completely separate to my vision, the images are in my "mind's eye" or mental space and it doesn't have anymore impact on my visual awareness than any other kind of thinking. I can take the models from my mind and overlay them on my sight but it takes much more concentration to imagine things that way. It's easier to build/edit in my mind and then check against vision.

I'm also better at certain types of mental picturing than others. Visuospatial thing like floor plans, 3D models, visualising a street route etc are easy and natural for me. Colour I can do to an extent but it's harder and I need to reference reality more. 2D is a little harder than 3D, no idea why. Non technical images like art are harder too. Though that could just be the 2D thing as technical images are easy to imagine 3D. Landscapes and faces are easier too now I think of it which backs that up.

I learned early on not everyone can do it. We had Tech classes in S1-2 of high school (11-13) where we learned 3D technical drawing. It made immediate sense to me, I just turned the object in my head and drew it from different perspectives. But I learned that wasn't something most of my classmates could just naturally do. Lots of them learned it with practise but it took a while and some of them just couldn't do it.
I think this is a great example of a justice system working as intended. The statistical evidence alone likely would not have convicted her, but it could have exonerated or cast doubt on her being the perpetrator. It did not, for reasons which were obvious to the jury.

In general, in 2023+ the biggest problem seems to be signal to noise ratio. There so much content being scattered about, it's increasing more difficult to find quality. More and more (personal) resources are lost to getting past the noise. There's less time and energy left for the quality.

In one project, we had Terraform run from GitLab CI. The CI was creating a plan. The reviewer had to approve applying that plan.

> Back when I first learned Haskell, I strongly got the impression that the Haskell community just... didn't like programming?

This is such a peculiar value judgement, and for the life of me I can’t work out what leads you to think this way.

If you don’t like Haskell, that’s fine. You don’t have to. But people who work with Haskell are generally happy and productive, just like most other programmers in most other general purpose programming languages.

If you find this story interesting, give Beyond Measure: The Hidden History of Measurement from Cubits to Quantum Constants by James Vincent a read.

My theory is that origially the variable name "i" meant "index", and then when someone needed one or two more temporary variables, they added "j" and "k".

Oh, here's a more likely explanation:

> i and j have typically been used as subscripts in quite a bit of math for quite some time (e.g., even in papers that predate higher-level languages, you frequently see things like "Xi,j", especially in things like a summation).

> When they designed Fortran, they (apparently) decided to allow the same, so all variables starting with "I" through "N" default to integer, and all others to real (floating point).

There were various postmortem findings described as anomalous.

Child F had a bloodwork which indicated that someone gave them a large amount of insulin.

Child D’s post mortem X-ray is said to show air injected into their blood vessels.

Child L also had insulin in their blood.

I’m not an expert so I can’t say for certain how strong these evidence are. Also my understanding that while these are evidence that a crime happened, they do not tie Lucy directly to the crime. The evidence for that is circumstatial, mainly that she was the only one on duty for all the collapses said to be suspicious.
Fueling Mautic's open source innovation through the General Assembly
Just to be clear, though, the mistake that Mark Reinhold refers to isn't the particular implementation of the JDK's core serialization, but the design that allows arbitrary objects to be deserialized while bypassing their constructors (and so their established invariants). Unfortunately, many other serialization libraries — faster or slower — are repeating the same mistake. I.e., any serialization library that can serialize any class that implements Serializable suffers from all the same flaws of core serialization.

Correct serialization can only be done for classes that are designed for it by having a well-known construction protocol, which are currently basic collections, enums, Strings, records, and classes that register specific serialization code.
> People like the service that the middle man provides. They may not like the middle man, the fees, etc. but tell someone that "your transactions are not reversible, if you lost your money that sucks I guess, even if we messed up" and they will be happy to pay that transaction fee with another provider instead.

This might not be entirely realistic, but the idea of passing that choice on to the end user seems interesting:

Payment of 12.99 EUR (VAT of X% included) to $vendor for $service, choose one:
[ ] - regular payment, 0.50 EUR fixed fee
[ ] - safe™ payment*, 2.00 EUR fixed fee
* safe™ payments can later be disputed and reversed, if necessary

Or something like that. I mean, regulation aside (this is a thought experiment), I can already choose whether I want to pay extra for tracking for international deliveries and when buying goods, sometimes extended warranty/insurance is offered as an option. Why wouldn't I get the choice whether I want my payments to carry less overhead OR have the protections you'd expect with the "middle man", as a choice within the same payment platform?
That's a good idea, thanks! I might even resubmit that as a PR.

I would assume that their point is that this would demonstrate that the system doesn't break down if you fill it with more than a handful of entries. Would be a shame if it grinds to a halt after using it for a few years.

> Yet the whole transaction needs the Sell part to realize the gains. Surprisingly, the Schwab experiment did not model this for the "participants".

The FIRE community did model this at great length though. And the example in TFA is just an example: saving $2K a year is basically drinking one or two beers less each day (so I wouldn't look too much into that amount). Most people in the west could save that. At the very least the people at which TFA is aimed could save $2K a year.

Try $20K a year: most working people here could save that.

I'm a big believer that smaller models will take hold. The throwing paint at the wall strategy of having 100B+ models and random data won't scale. It's possible it will take new model architectures to get there. But having more fine-tuned control over model parameters is a pattern that will emerge. Then smaller, domain specific models can be joined together to form larger models, if full generalization is needed.

I have an article on building micromodels that discusses some of this: https://neuml.hashnode.dev/train-a-language-model-from-scrat...

I had the opposite idea: Run all my comments through an LLM to make them more diplomatic. I noticed my comments have been a bit adversarial lately, so I just wrote a script to pass the HN comment history plus my draft comment to GPT-4 and have it reword my replies. Hopefully it won't be overly verbose.

This is this comment, GPTed:

Hey andersrs, I totally appreciate your perspective here - the 'Gift Shop Sketch' is a classic! To share my thoughts, though, I've actually contemplated doing quite the opposite. I've begun to realize that my comments might've been coming off a little too confrontational or straight to the point recently. So, I'm thinking of running them through a language model to dial up the diplomacy a notch.

Could be fun, right? I'm in the process of penning a script that takes our comment history, along with any new comments I jot down, into account and passes it all on to GPT-4. The goal's to help it finesse my responses a bit. Here's hoping it won't tip the scale in the other direction and make them a long-winded affair!

I agree that it's a bit meh, but I think with some prompt tweaking it can be very helpful.

EDIT: With some better prompting:

Actually, I've been thinking about making my comments more cordial. Noticed that they might come off a bit straightforward, so I've worked on this script to run my HN comments, along with my draft comment, through GPT-4.

> No, what I'm saying is they maximize outrage, but pretend that they care about civility.

Then you're wrong. They don't just pretend to care, they take actions. I've already given several examples.

> You yourself said neither platform was successful in their attempts

No, I did not say that. I said 'arguably' and that was precisely so people wouldn't try to turn this into a debate about how good they are at it. I said they try and they absolutely do try.

> because those "attempts" are there for show

And now you're contradicting yourself. You said they only pretend to care and now you said they make attempts. You keep flip flopping on what it is that you are even saying.

I can't read minds. Evidently you can and that's an awesome skill, congratulations. But everything I've said refers only to what they actually do. And what they do is to take actions that are clearly detrimental to maximizing outrage. Something you've just agreed with, if we extract all of your mind reading voodoo magic.
I agree with what you write - that there are lots of people who are stubborn just to be stubborn and lots of people who dont like changing things.

However when we discuss local time and adjusting a local time to the central time, we come to some very different conclusions. For example in Europe, countries from Poland to Spain are in the same timezone. This is very good for business - when you schedule a meeting at 9:00 AM, then it is the same 9:00 AM everywhere (on a side note, never schedule meetings at 9:00, be kind and at least do 9:30).
The problems is that what is good for conducting business is not good for regular people, because due to the "one big time zone" a lot of people live in.. a wrong time-zone.
This is very clear when you look at Spain, where the sun shines after 22:00 (10:00 PM) - while there is no sun when people are supposed to wake up.
At the same time, those in Poland live a miserable life - the sun shines very early, but when you leave work -> there is no more sun (meanwhile Germans have around 1 hour more sun after work, the french 2 hours more sun after work and Spaniards have like 3-4 more hours). Here of course I assumed the 9-5 work (9:00 - 17:00) what is typical for office workers.
The rule is that if you live east from the correct time you are screwed by having less sun. This impacts your quality of life. Imagine you spent your whole life losing 2 hours of sun every day.

I swear I saw research somewhere that showed the same is in USA, those on the western part of a timezone are richer than those on the eastern part as well, what removes the historical reasons from war-torn Europe, impact of communism etc.

As far as I know China has one big time-zone for the whole country. I wonder how it works when the official 7AM is 4AM "sun time" in another part.

In theory people could somehow adjust their hours to the local time, but usually they dont. Offices start at 8:00 or 9:00 AM (and at least more and more allows flexible start or work from home), so those that live east have simply less sun exposure - more miserable life. When sun shines - you are more keen to go outside, for a jog, or whatever. When it is dark? You cannot quantify this easily.
And this is why the USA exclusively uses the metric system today.

You're assuming that all of those 1.5 billion people support the caste system simply because they come from India. This type of generalisation used to be the basis for the definition of the term "racism" before it got coopted by identity politics:

"racism, also called racialism, the belief that humans may be divided into separate and exclusive biological entities called “races”; that there is a causal link between inherited physical traits and traits of personality, intellect, morality, and other cultural and behavioural features" (Encyclopedia Britannica; emphasis mine)

I assume the original poster means to keep out the discussion of the caste system by keeping out its supporters. Disregarding the feasibility of such a plan [1] it does put this proposal in a different light: keeping out supporters of a system or ideology which divides people based on unalienable characteristics is something which those who claim to be against racism should welcome.

[1] https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2021/06/29/attitudes-ab... shows that support for the caste system is less prevalent among higher educated Indians who are more likely to immigrate based on employment opportunities so in that respect it would be feasible. Given this fact a rule to keep out caste supporters could be easily construed as an attempt to keep out less educated people by those seeking to weaponise identity for political purposes.
That's incorrect for the UK, though the gov page is confusingly worded. The basic rate is applied to £37,700 of income but you have to add the tax allowance of £12,570 onto that, so the 40% rate kicks in at £50,270.

Edit: plus it's not exactly the UK since Scotland has different tax rates and services but I think it's confusing enough already.

I had one of the earlier Sony models, which was great - but if anything bad happened when "Writing TOC" (Table Of Contents) was happening, everything on the disc became unreadable. The filesystem was probably the worst thing about mini-disc aside from general availability.

The best thing about them was they were next gen mix-tapes, but random-access rather than sequential. It made editing a playlist way easier (sometimes maxing out available storage to the second) plus they were R/W which means they were also superior to burning CDs which were all still write-only in that era.

> The dogma that it's impossible to beat the market is frankly weird at this point.

I agree.

Meta was literally priced below $90 not even a year ago (I entered at about $100 FWIW, which was my nice and round number). Now at $315. Anybody who believes the market is efficient is on some serious drugs.

The market correctly valued Meta a $380 or so before the crash (because "TINA" I'm supposed to believe), then correctly valued it a few months later at $100, then now is again correctly valuing it at $315?

Please. Just please.

I'll go much further: none of these valuation are correct. The market is highly inefficient.
