>The other is "If you (edit: just) have an iPhone you too can make such a video". Which is what anyone who isn't affiliated with the film industry (aka 99% of the population) might think

no, 99% of the population doesn't watch iphone launch events, and doesn't care whether it was shot on iPhone or not. they have literally no opinion about this. of the 1% who cares that it was shot on iPhone, i'd guess roughly 95% understand that a professional photo shoot requires more than a camera, and the 5% who didn't saw the behind the scenes video. nobody was mislead into thinking that Tim Cook's assistant just pulled their phone out of their pocket and shot the launch video.

the whole discussion around this video being shot on iPhone seems to have imagined a huge class of people who both care about this, and are dumb. presumably for the sole purpose of feeling smug about having the special insight of knowing the things communicated by the behind the scenes video that apple published and heavily promoted. those people you're imagining might have been misled by this do not exist.
If the outcomes were shown to be worse across the board, sure, it would be worth sacrificing predictability for better outcomes. But if we set the precedent of rolling back merger approvals after the fact, I see good reason to believe that the effects on the market would be worse overall than if we just let this bad outcome be a single bad outcome.

If we want mergers to be undoable, that needs to be clear at the time of approval. We could probably fix this going forward to strike a better balance between predictability and other outcomes, but we have to make the contingencies known in advance, not pull rugs three years later.
WPA3 is definitely not as secure as wireguard, but it's a pretty good improvement compared to WPA2. 99% of people just use the defaults of their WiFi deployment, and then have stuff like network printers or NAS on there, with varying levels of encryption. Thankfully due to https being so widespread, most of the traffic to the public net is encrypted now. But even now you can find out which websites someone visited by looking at DNS and also the ip addresses of the packet headers.

I'm sure it's well established practice, and the courts would find it legal, but it seems like fraud. My computer says "I want to connect to my bank, are you my bank?" and the corporate firewall says "yes, I am your bank".
Where did I say that? I only noted that example would be one of the things he does that inspire dislike independent of some media conspiracy.

Saying "These are huge claims with insufficient evidence, let's wait for clarity" is hardly "being no-fun wet blankets". It's understanding how science works.

"And the only thing you wish went differently is that you squashed more people's enthusiasm??"

It's not about "enthusiasm". It's about scientific illiteracy. You can be excited all you want. "I saw a multimeter on TikTok, therefore it's true" and then shouting down folks with actual understanding for being cautious isn't enthusiasm, though. It's Dunning Kruger in action.

Welcome to a cyberpunk novel I could not get through when I was in college, but now it's real.
Just looking at a random AC/DC converter (Meanwell EPP-100) the likes of which from it and other brands that I’ve used many of, it specifies 90-264V AC at 47-63 Hz. Interestingly it does also specify 127-370VDC, but nothing on the data sheet specifies that it should be expected to operate with DC input (and that corresponds as a peak value to the RMS AC voltage which is probably what it means).

Potentially it could work with a DC input though (since DC will pass a regular bridge rectifier), but it could screw with things like the power factor correction… I’d try it if it was a unit I didn’t mind potentially destroying.
Yes, it should be under gpt-4-1106-preview.

Oh for sure.

> I don't see MISRA being an outlier in this regard. Had everything been developed in house, MISRA wouldn't have been the bottleneck.

I respect your perspective.

I was in charge of setting in-house guidelines, and tried to do things sanely. Personally I found that the entire team saw much less value in MISRA, but could clearly see the value in LINT. Mainly because MISRA seemed (to us) to be pretty obvious stuff, while LINT seemed to encourage everyone to develop better coding habits.

YMMV
Thanks for this tool, Paul. I saw you talk about it a few times here and I was totally sleeping on it (to be fair, there was a new tool every day). The file ingestion is the nuts.

Is the new, huge context size going to change how internals work? Seems like if you were being careful and efficient before, maybe that can be traded for quality somehow.

Aider is helping me write rust, which I'm very new to. It's doing a reasonable job, despite people saying GPT4 does a bad job at rust. It's a very small project--LLM based, of course! It makes frequent errors, but it can fix them by just feeding it `/run cargo check`--sometimes a few iterations.

It's a cool workflow, and I'm already a terminal nerd, having been using a tmux/cloud dev environment for years. Aider's ergonomics are perfect for me. I was previously making use of chatblade in the terminal to pipe files into etc.

I'm looking forward to see how good aider gets "for free" as the models get better.

Anyway, I'll be using it, and watching for any news you might have. Thanks again!
Random observation: In one of the photos in the article, I'd be curious to know what the cost of the bridge was? And why such a small down needs such an e extensive (?) structure?

The arc of my point is, what if that project was dialed back a bit and those monies invested in something else in the town? Something more investment-y and less expense-y?

It seems that we have plenty of money, what we're not good at is spending the right amount on the right things at the right time. Is there no way to improve that?

If my understanding of the timeline is right, Dias already had a retraction when this was sent in. I don’t think reputation is to blame here, the reviewers just weren’t up to the task.
We can always count on Reddit to provide the cold, hard anecdotes.
I am not comfortable with that point of view. Growing up people used to always say "question authority" and that seems like the responsible thing to teach. But on the other hand, does it really make sense for everyone to do their own diligence in every matter?

The thing that has caused me to question this the most is crypto-currency scams. I don't mean generally, just the things we would all agree are clearly scams and kind of obviously so. They so often tell you: "do your own research". I think its a version of the poorly written Nigerian scam letter. The idea is a person with the right skill or knowledge will see its a scam right away and not bother them. People who are careless enough, dumb enough desperate enough will still be suckered and there are plenty of them. So the obvious scammers is completely comfortable saying "do your own research" and know that he filters out everyone but the suckers.

I wonder if sometimes most of us are better off just trusting the people who are experts most of the time? Skepticism is good but you can't really form your own exper opinion on every question you will face.

We already have the technology to do it for a single photo. Making it possible for a whole movie is just an optimization problem. I have no doubt we will get there.

I couldn't agree more. Injecting personal political advocacy into a professional context is itself unprofessional and raises large numbers of questions about fly.io and the Gleam project's ability to operate in solely professional context.

It's this "turn everything into activism" bullshit that people across the the political spectrum engage in on social media that got me to cancel all my social media accounts some years ago (present company excluded).

Maybe it's not dead center in the mesopunk genre, but Atomik Aztex by Sesshu Foster is a great and gritty fable of a protagonist/unreliable narrator shifting back and forth between life as an eagle warrior in Tenochtitlan and a migrant worker in a modern American meatpacking plant.
Yeah the noticeable difference for me has been better coverage.

The past days ChatGPT went from a great pair programming helper to a useless antipathetic intern, the quality of generated code dropped visibly. The context seems to be bigger in the chatgpt plus version too but it got dumber.
Sure it might be faster but in context it doesn’t feel
like a significant improvement.

So they can't just make things faster in an objective way. They have to make you "feel" a certain thing.

It stands out and it’s pretty clear that Apple wants
people to “upgrade” to the Max which comes with a +$800 margin.

Few thoughts there.

1. Well, they certainly won't mind if you buy the Max. No argument there.

2. As for Apple's intentions I think they were extremely honest during the initial presentation itself. The market for these machines are primarily M1 and Intel Mac users. Very few people upgrade their laptops every single year.

3. The M2 lineup was a bit weird, right? If I am remembering correctly there was not a clear case for the M2 Max versus the M2 Pro. I think the M3 lineup is a bit of a correction there. While I certainly wish every chip got like, a million times faster... the product tiers here seem less confusing.

That may be true physically, but metaphysically? I'm Catholic so I believe I have a soul which is immaterial. Setting aside my belief that my soul cannot be inserted into a computer, this reminds me of a conversation I had with my brother in law about this topic in general. He eventually said as long as some version of himself lives on, he would be content with that even if "he" in his body doesn't live on. A digital soul, in that case.
I'm not claiming it's about memorization. I have not memorized 9 x 9 + 1 is 82. I can simply do it without invoking any calculation. That is a close equivalent to trying to do with math token prediction.

Humans doing things "without a pad" is not the same thing as doing mental math vs. trying to intuit an answer.

Token predictions will not converge on correct arithmetic algorithms.
Re 1) this point is diminished by the fact that Maine had been ruling against tribes for since formation. The Passamaquoddy case represented more of the same, not a change.

Re 2) see 1

Re 5) I agree, but You missed my point. My point was that you don't need an alternative motive explanation for reacting them. They were binding either way, and this type of content normally isn't in constitutions, so redaction as simplification seems entirely plausible. They didn't need the parts about voting days and how Maine and mass will split militia guns either.
The duality of HN. I want other people to be forced to filter out bullshit, but I only want to receive forthright submissions myself.
I have seen managers who will enforce some rules on the team, which takes time away from them. Then PIP them 6 months later for non-delivery.

If there was a way to vote managers and skips away, a large number of managers would disappear.

Well, the knowledge cutoff is much more recent (I think sama said April 2023?), so having more, newer data might be a significant contributing factor.
> what is the purpose of banking and bankers.

To borrow money from you, paying you a low interest rate, but allowing you to withdraw it at a drop of the hat, while lending money to someone else, at high interest rates, but on a fixed, multi-year repayment schedule.

Borrow short, lend long. It's socially useful, and if the bank does it well, it stands to make a lot of money.
Bear in mind this was after only two weeks of exposure, on people with pale skin with simulated sun exposure trying to mimic a very northern latitude (London). They also only used UVA and UVB rays, omitting the infra-red spectrum.

The sensible advice is generally to spend a few months gradually increasing your unprotected sun exposure, then towards the end of the summer may be able to hang out unprotected in the morning/midday sun for an hour or two without burning. Of course everyone's mileage is going to vary here, as is their tolerance for risk vs reward of sun exposure.
I would be happy extending these incentives to single homeowners, if we also extend similar or greater incentives to people living in condos or apartment buildings.
I would gladly take all the blame for $20 million. And after that, do it again for another $20 million.
I think the fundamental problem with a site like this is that the games that could really do with assistance for scoring need more than this, and the thing I really want (a reminder of how things score) just isn’t there for other games. For example, Caverna and Agricola aren’t hard to score, but being able to point everybody to something that makes it visible how end game scoring works would be really useful. Conversely I would love a CV based scoring app for A Feast For Odin because that is a game where it is easy to miscount tiles, but that’s beyond what a site like this is aiming to do.
My opinion is that setting GOMAXPROCS that way is a quite poor idea. It tends to strand resources that could have been used to handle a stochastic burst of requests, which with a capped GOMAXPROCS will be converted directly into latency. I can think of no good reason why GOMAXPROCS needs to be 2 just because you expect the long-term CPU rate to be 2. That long-term quota is an artifact of capacity planning, while GOMAXPROCS is an artifact of process architecture.
AGI Is Being Achieved Incrementally

Modern compiler tooling that supports IDEs are almost all incremental, so all that async machinery and multithreading can be put to use there as well.
That Reddit user mentions something that I have noticed happening with infuriatingly increasing frequency in the last few weeks (at least on the chat GPT interface) - the "fill in the rest here" or "remainder of code" snipped sections even when you EXPLICITLY instruct ChatGPT to include the fully modified code in its responses.

It's like the AI equivalent of "the rest is left as an exercise to the reader" you'd find in old textbooks.

The important aspect of the 6-week releases is that they’re frequent, so nobody feels a need to rush a feature to cram into the next big release.

Quickly looking at a map ... (did you do that?) it appears to be the only major North|South road with a bridge crossing an East|West river for 40km in either E|W direction.

I suspect the bridge is more about the grid layout road system providing transport for many supplies than it is about the population of a small town near an intersection or the even smaller population of various empty fields the road passes by.

You have no contact in your bio but I've run into this with founders a lot and you need to recognize that what you're going through is a period of grief and mourning. I recommend you look up some books on how grief is processed in breakups or deaths and see if you find points of similarity.

Kubler-Ross' "On Death and Dying" is a classic place to start, it's where the "five stages of grief" model was first introduced. Her version of it is a lot more complex than the pop culture, linear understanding that most people have. She mostly talks about the interplay between the five stages and how we ping pong back and forth in interesting ways.

Also, FWIW, I've found ChatGPT a remarkably efficient tool to "read" books in an area you're totally unfamiliar with and want a quick download. You start by asking it to give you a broad overview of a book/set of books and then dive into the areas you find the most interesting until you arrive at an actionable framework.
The topic is stock market investment expectations which is not the same. The market can be going up even as unemployment rages.

The vast majority of middle schoolers were not trading stocks in 2008.

To have experienced one downturn, a trader must've been trading back in 2007/early 2008. It is safe to say most traders in their 20s today were not active traders back in 2007. I'm sure exceptions exist.

If you have one pod that has Burstable QoS, perhaps because it has a request and not a limit, its CPU mask will be populated by every CPU on the box, less one for the Kubelet and other node services, less all the CPUs requested by pods with Guaranteed QoS. Pods with Guaranteed QoS will have exactly the number of CPUs they asked for, no more or less, and consequently their GOMAXPROCS is consistent. Everyone else will see fewer or more CPUs as Guaranteed pods arrive and depart from the node.
yeah the random killings and random violence are quite low in comparison to domestic violence. while disgruntled people you may know are a bigger vulnerability surface but the social connection makes it easier for the assailant to get caught. so the potential assailants (everyone) has an incentive to think of things more elaborate than picking up their semi automatic gun
No I think what I want is pretty obvious. No exclusives. I don't honestly care what shitty storefront something is on, as long as its not limited to one. That's literally my only gripe.

Besides publishers are already free to decide where the games they publish go or don't, so I'm not sure where the "too much power to publishers" thing is coming from.

Highly unlikely to work in the near future. LLMs are bad state machines.

But even if it did, you are basically describing programming in a contrived language, not the llm learning to do math. You can explicitly teach a model to follow an algorithm. But that's not the same as the algorithm being "learned" during training and "invoked" when asked what's 2 + 2?
Realistically we prevent virtually no child molestation by force (or by any other means)… we’re far too busy loudly pretending to care about keeping children safe from imaginary stranger dangers to actually do anything whatsoever to keep them safe from the real dangers represented by their family and other trusted adults.
