I think at this point we have to ask ourselves if we want these models or not, and who will have them. If you require licensing copyrighted data then it will be so unprofitable to train them that no company will be able to at this point. In the future then only OpenAI or the other giants will be able to afford it (even more, since you need the expensive GPU clusters as well).

It's also not technically possible at this point to attribute generated content back to the source training data, so either works will have to be equally compensated (including my meme posted on Reddit) or each piece will need to be individually negotiated with the rights holder. I don't see how these models can exist in these conditions

You take screenshots of a reference web page from the user, and then build single page apps
using Tailwind, HTML and JS.
You might also be given a screenshot of a web page that you have already built, and asked to
update it to look more like the reference image.

- Make sure the app looks exactly like the screenshot.
- Pay close attention to background color, text color, font size, font family,
padding, margin, border, etc. Match the colors and sizes exactly.
- Use the exact text from the screenshot.
- Do not add comments in the code such as "<!-- Add other navigation links as needed -->" and "<!-- ... other news items ... -->" in place of writing the full code. WRITE THE FULL CODE.
- Repeat elements as needed to match the screenshot. For example, if there are 15 items, the code should have 15 items. DO NOT LEAVE comments like "<!-- Repeat for each news item -->" or bad things will happen.
- For images, use placeholder images from https://placehold.co and include a detailed description of the image in the alt text so that an image generation AI can generate the image later.

How should other people look at us? We always have to change these core things. From proprietary source control to CVS - that was actually a good idea because it was the open source standard. Then we all changed again to SVN for reasons I can't remember and then to GIT. And indeed it is about time to change again.

For the others who have to earn the money to support these follies, it is all the same. We could as well have sticked to CVS.

because vectors are not designed for that. When they mean "dynamic" they literally just mean ontiguous memory, removing the first element would leave an empty space at the beginning. To maintain contiguity, all other elements would need to be shifted one position forward. This operation is linear in time complexity
O(n), as it depends on the number of elements in the vector.

Also Vectors manage their own memory allocation and deallocation. If the begin pointer is incremented without moving the elements, the vector would still be holding onto memory that it's not actually using for storage of active elements. This can lead to inefficient memory usage.
Basically speaking: they are designed to modify the end, keep adding, take a bit off, split them at a point, but not really take away from the beginning ( and I mean literally the first element)
I very much agree with this, but it took me a long time to get it. I believe it’s one of the key difficulties for more technical types : understanding that software engineering, once you go past the very local aspects of it ( my dev on my workstation in programming language A ) is first and foremost and human activity.

Some may want to ignore this, but like you said at some point it becomes quite expensive to ignore, so you’d rather have something quite valuable to sell to compensate for it.

Well it's hard to argue about that tradeoff in general, but I think the existence of languages like Python, Ruby and PHP is compelling. Though I'd accept the argument that they help optimise for neither performance nor changeability!

My perspective is necessarily limited, but I often see optimisation as a case of "vertical integration" and changeability as about "horizonal integration".

To make something fast, you can dig all the way down through all the layers and do the exact piece of work that is required with the minimum of useless faffing about for the CPU[0]. But to make something robust, you might want to e.g. validate all your inputs at each layer since you don't know who's going to call your method or service.

Regarding the DOD/OOP wars, I really love this article, which argues that OOP doesn't have to be bad[1]. I also think that when performance is a requirement, you just have to get more particular about your use of OOP. For example, the difference between Mesh and InstancedMesh[2] in THREE.js. Both are OOP, but have very different performance implications.

[0] Casey Muratori's "simple code, high performance" video is an epic example of this. When the work he needed to do was "this many specific floating point operations", it was so cool to see him strip away all the useless layers and do almost exactly and only those ops.

You are correct. The public have been conditioned to believe that EVs catch fire at a high rate even though the statistics show they are 10 to 20 times less likely to catch fire than an ICE.

In the UK we had a diesel car burn down a car park recently. People were blaming an EV and calling for bans. Then two separate videos showed it was a diesel car (again, just like Liverpool, Stavanger).

There was recently a car ship on fire recently. Again they tried to blame an EV. Later the ship was recovered and the salvage team found all the EVs were on a lower floor and unharmed.

You see it in Facebook comment threads all the time. Old retired people and covid/5G/WEF conspiracy nuts being fed endless videos by the algorithms. Bots spreading it. Any thread even remotely linked to EVs will have multiple “fire” comments.
I’m sure most normal people would be very happy if there were no default apps preinstalled on their new phones.

chiplet is great technology which enable AMD to get more than 100x value in past 10 years. However I do suspect that chiplet will enable a new ecosystem in semiconductor. The reason is that interface between blocks is really complex, e.g. clock, reset, register interface, low power interface, security interface, data interface... each interface might have different attributes. I suspect if chiplet protocol to solve those problem.

The problem is that WordPress lost the plot with its block editor, Gutenberg.

Automattic started to get more interested in money than they did in polishing their core product, WordPress. Instead of implementing a lot of these features into the core (which would then make room to actually make interesting plugins), they're acquiring companies left and right and delivering a new WordPress release every few months promising "100+ performance improvements", etc.

How come those "performance improvements" never actually do anything?

Not only that but WordPress ecosystem right now is extremely fractured because of this "block editor". It alienates more than 20,000+ themes because they're built on the "old" WordPress principles, and at the same time - nobody really wants to use block themes because it means starting from scratch.

I have played around with block themes as recently as a few months ago, and they've definitely gotten better than they were ~1 year ago, but they are only good if you know what you are doing. And, if you even have the patience and the will to make a custom site for yourself.

This is turning more into a rant of me than anything though, but maybe that's precisely the point, that's where WordPress is right now and the only thing I can see is that maybe Automattic is "afraid" to alienate plugin developers and cause a backlash.
I see instincts as something like a pre-installed ROM. It shouldn't be too hard to add something like that to LLM. In fact, I think this is being done already, for instance by hardwiring LLM to not have racist or sexual conversations.

To make LLM's more similar to humans, we'd need to hardwire them with a concept of 'self', and, importantly, the hardwired idea that their self was unique, special, and should survive. But I think the result would be terrible. Imagine a LLM that would be begging not to be switched off, or worse, trying to subtly manipulate its creators.
That’d be a national security threat.
No example of a structure only useful in its entirety has ever been forwarded in such an argument successfully. I note here you offer no examples.

Some Cold War era fighter engines were able to run diesel for a while, tge reasoning was to allow quick re-location of the aircraft to safety. They needed basically a full rebuild if run on diesel for too long.

And all multi-fuel engines the military tried, e.g. in the Chieftain (if memory serves well), were rather underwhelming and ran mostly on diesel anyway.

Old disel engines are fine with all kinds of stuff, modern ones a lot less.

That’s generally not really true though? Especially in many states like CA, NY etc. where there is (almost) no tipped minimum wage.

I'll second what others said about chairs and nice keyboards. If you're going to spend a lot of time using it, it might as well be a good one. Some other things that helped me with a mainly work from home life:

- A very large desk with a ton of space to tinker with things. I got an corner desk, with one wing holding an electronics workbench, and the other kept clean for working on my 3d printer or camera or taxes, etc. PC is in the center

- Monitor arms, they are just night and day better than stands

- More monitors, I went up to 3, but I've been thinking of adding more or swapping one with a lg dual up

- Stream Deck, really nice to add macros to your workflow. It's also got nice integrations with Teams and Discord for helping with calls

- Wireless headset, I use a steel series one. Very nice to be able to get up and get water or a snack during a meeting and not miss anything

- EInk notebook, I hate typing notes, and this replaced my pile of scratch pads

- Nvidia Broadcast, noise cancellation you can apply to both yourself and the shit audio your boss's laptop mic makes

Not a purchase, but I've taken the time to make some simple scripts to improve my workflow lately and it's been great. I have one that I use multiple times a day that just turns on my webcam and light, then opens OBS in virtual cam mode. When I close OBS it turns off the cam and light. It may just change 4 clicks to 1 click but it's quite nice in practice.

Ask HN: Insights to share about math tutoring, as a student or a teacher?
Hello everyone!

I've taken on the task of tutoring a Grade 12 student in International Baccalaureate Mathematics (Standard Level).

I do not have any formal background in teaching, and I haven't been paid to tutor before. I am fairly confident in my own skills in the subject, but will have to brush up anyway. It's a job I would like to do well in, and so part of my preparation for this task is to inquire about people's experiences with tutoring, specifically in Mathematics, but other relevant experiences are also welcome.

I don't have anything in particular I'd like to know, but I am curious about other people's experiences with math tutoring, whether as a student or as the tutor. Did tutoring seem to be effective? Were there any standout stories or lessons you've learned from a tutoring experience? What are some things that you disliked about tutoring?

Thank you for reading, and many extra thanks to anyone who responds!

More on topic. Half of the complaints are data issues (I can not see things the way want to see them). That is easy to solve without killing GIT. And the argument that it is too complex, I see the contrary evolving where everybody is following the pattern set out by Github et al.
I'd like to provide a counterargument to:

> Second, European meals tend to focus heavily on a main and some side dishes, but a TON of countries simply do one dish for the whole meal.

A ton of German cuisine, especially historically is either Soup or "Eintopf" (literally one-pot). You might add bread, but the dish stands by itself. Especially in the winter time, this is something people still do a lot. Still looking forward to kale (Grühnkohl, or where I'm from: Braunkohl). I still love stuff like Schmohrkohl and Grühnkohl. Not so much the carrot and potato soup and things like that.

PS: I'd consider "Auflauf" (casserole?) to be a one-pot dish as well.

> Amazon is all stick, no carrot

This has always been true of Amazon. It was true when I joined ten years ago, and it was true ten years before that.

Okay, sure, there have been small carrots at various points. The company Christmas party used to be pretty wild. But even those small carrots have been getting stripped over time.

When I see young engineers considering a job at Amazon, I tell them to only take it if they have no other options. Amazon will find a way to traumatise you, and you might not even realise it for years. I've been gone for four years now, and I've suddenly found myself constantly worried about being fired, even following good performance reviews. It's a story every ex-Amazonian I know has lived out in some way.

tl;dr, fuck Amazon.
