I guess my point is that faith necessarily involves a step that cannot be made by observation, deduction, or probabilistic reasoning. You can call this step "trust" if you like, but it seems disingenuous to compare it with mundane trust, such as trusting that your taxi driver has a driver's license, or trusting that the sun is a certain distance from the earth (as per your second link). These mundane trusts can in principle be verified, or at least are falsifiable. I know that I can ring up the taxi company and ask them to send me a copy of the license, and cross-check it with government records. I know that I can perform my own observations and reasoning to convince myself of the distance of the sun from the earth. I do not know that I can do this for claims such as "Jesus is the son of God".

Because an engine works more efficient if it is not running at its limits. So driving at 90mph with an engine that can go 120mph is more efficient than an engine that can go 90mph.
I always thought of persimmons as a secret, special late-fall treat, and I had no idea how abundantly they grown until recently.

A family member let us pick pounds of them from one of his trees because he can’t get rid of them fast enough. I’ve been enjoying them diced with pumpkin seeds and manchego in salads, and even the very firm ones work great in the dehydrator, skin and all.

Im not a 3d artist, but I still find Ian Hubert's blender tutorials[1] very cool to watch.

He comes off as an artist who immensely enjoys their craft. I have also really enjoyed his Dynamo Dream series [2] which are a labor of love for him. He's only released like 3 episodes over several years, but hey labor of love.

Ian was also chosen as the director of Tears of Steel (2012) which is one of the Blender Open Movies [3] the foundation produces. You might not recognize that film, but many of you have heard of at least one Blender Open Movie, Big Buck Bunny! A big nod (IMO) from the Blender foundation that he represents the spirit of the project and community, as well as has the skills to oversee a project meant to demonstrate Blender's capabilities.

These Open Movies are projects that HN can likely appreciate, as they are created to showcase and help push capabilities of the open source Blender software, are licensed under Creative Commons, and their assets are provided to the community for free.

An important feature of text is that it is an aperiodic crystal. Textiles are usually highly periodic, but Elizabeth Barber relates an anecdote of attempting to reproduce an early (Hallstatt?) textile and very carefully exactly copying the oddly changing numbers of threads in each run ... until she realised she'd swapped warp and weft!
Sigh... Everyone knows artificial neurons are not like biological neurons. The network is the important part, which really is analogous to the brain, while what came before (SVMs and random forests) are nothing like it.
I really prefer the half-height "T" layout in those size constraints but some people really hate it. It's an oddity to me: as you say, I'd be happier being able to easily feel out the layout and having all directions be the same size targets. Other than just not having the "look" of empty space I don't feel that there's really anything to recommend the "full height left/right, half-height up/down" layout.

I wonder if you'll have more ability to play around in that space with the 16, as its top case is more modular. Part of the problem with the Framework 13 input cover is that the cover including the key gaps is all one piece of aluminum, so things have to work within those sized holes, or else involve a completely different input cover.

(Edit: the 16 does I think have more theoretical room for alternate keyboard layouts, but of course that's assuming anyone makes them. More importantly, it just has the inverted T layout on the regular keyboard already.)
Although the price of offshore wind goes up, it offsets the price of more expensive energy in the energy mix. Could be spot market fossil gas in peakers or something similar (power imports without a long term contract).

Sadly won't have time to read all comments, maybe someone said it allready.

Once a commenter here on HN wrote that meditation helps him better than anything else. Still have back into the groove of a regular schedule. The best book on the topic might be Mind Illuminated by John Yates, got it from a recommendation here on HN.

Another good one is ADHD 2.0 by Hallowell and Ratey.

Knowledge helps.
This will be a fairly trivial problem to solve. Each spoken word can be cryptographically signed on some kind of distributed public ledger and unless the words originate from a verified origin you cannot assume something you hear was indeed spoken by the original source LLM.

Only verified sentences coming from your LLM clone can be considered the actual you.
All roads are not public.
Here in Germany doctors only give them for bad infections that have the potential to turn worse. Cat scratches (actually quite dangerous!), bad throat or stomach infections. I've only taken them 2-3 times this decade I guess but I've seen them mentioned way more often than you. People and doctors here prefer natural recovery with some tea and vitamins to pills if possible, which is nice.
Ok, so then what's the argument here? Nobody on any device is restricted to just Google Messages on Android or iMessages on iOS.... If your social circle is all using WhatsApp, then use WhatsApp. If it's Messenger, use Messenger, Signal, etc.
I think AI, particularly text based, seems like a cleaner problem.
Robots are derivative of AI, robotics, batteries, hardware, compute, societal shifts. It appears our tech tree needs stable AI first, then can tackle the rest of problems which are either physical or infrastructure.
Tell that to Einstein's family. Put an older guy with a German accent and wild white hair in a commercial, and they want paid.

Honestly, it's offensive that they can "own" a general appearance. But their lawyers manage to enforce it.
Not just technological advancements; we have a history of comparing ourselves to that which surrounds us, is relatively ubiquitous, and easily comprehended by others when using the metaphor. Today it's this steady march of technological advancement, but read any older work of philosophy and you will see our selves (particularly, our minods) compared to monarchs, cities, aqueducts.[1]

I point this out because I think the idea of comparing ourselves to recent tech is more about using the technology as a metaphor for self, and it's worth incorporating the other ways we have done so historically for context.

How about we don't.
This is a fantastic idea. No one should be able to endanger pedestrians and other drivers through reckless speeding, which killed 12,330 people in the US in 2021 alone [0].

How does it relate to Stone Soup?

The idea is that GTK+ and Qt can (and do) add support for Wayland and it's trivial for applications to support Wayland, often without even recompiling.
While other public sectors can definitely have an impact on public safety, I don't believe there is the threat of violence or endangerment to the public that is so prevalent in policing.

Therefore I'm /less/ concerned about teachers, fire, post office, air traffic, etc. even though they have their issues.

A quick and easy way to add peripherals.

That's more than just device-drivers, you have to work out a consistent interface between the 'system' and all of the peripherals, rather than looking at the individual interactions of the system with individual peripherals.

In a way, you need something like the UNIX concept of 'everything is a file'. (Only more so.)

My hobby is writing emulators for real machines from the past. Most of my effort is in emulating the peripherals interactions with the CPU and RAM.

I have recently been looking at minicomputers of the 1970s. They seem to have had the concept of the peripheral doing all the work, with the 'system' merely 'asking a limited number of code questions' and the system 'getting a limited number of answers' from the peripherals.
I had heard about this before my son was born. We didn't try to teach him anything, anytime we remembered (which was sporadic) we just used the gestures when talking to him. I was amazed at how quickly he picked up on it, and he was able to communicate his needs to us months before he was able to verbalize.

It took very minimal effort on our part, and was very rewarding for him; certainly a lot better than him crying with the hope that we could guess what he wanted. Definitely recommended for any new parents.

The best moment was when he was sitting on the floor, and looked up at his mom and made the "together" sign, it was heart melting.
My understanding is that devs are "supposed" to use WASM as a compliment to a11y-friendly tech.

From https://webassembly.org/docs/faq/#is-webassembly-trying-to-r...

> HTML/CSS/JavaScript UI around a main WASM-controlled center canvas, allowing developers to build accessible experiences

I can easily see that not happening obviously (plenty of non-WASM sites with poor a11y exist already). If anyone has any useful articles regarding accessibility and WASM please share.
I don't buy meat from anywhere you can give healthy livestock antibiotics, period. It's really easy (obviously in case you live in such a country you'd be forced to not buy meat or buy imported, which is more expensive and worse for the environment).

Yes, in reality 95% of speeding is intentional, 5% is accidental.

But of the people who are subject to NTSB investigations? Presumably, having caused a fatal accident, they all claim to be in that 5%.

So I imagine according to the NTSB's numbers, loads of speeding is accidental.
They would still have to prove you were the one driving the car.
It sure doesn't help that he got to hand appoint one of the judges that ended up seeing his case.

Gosh, justice sure would "work" better for the individual if everyone got to nominate a judge for themselves once in a while.
How well do they work to reduce the speed of drivers high on cocaine and PCP?
I think partially it's because you don't want to have your engine/transmission constantly running at their peak. Sure your average car engine these days can probably do 120mph, but it won't do it for very long in terms of the car's overall lifetime.
That's not what we were talking about, and you know it. Elon Musk transformed the space industry with his cheap, reusable launchers, something that nobody before him has done, that was in fact considered to be impossible since launchers were widely considered to be multi-billion dollar, one-shot vehicles.

That transformation can be credited ENTIRELY to Elon Musk, and nobody else, and without him, it might never have happened, as neither governments, nor government contractors have any reason to not choose the well-trodden path, and to not pork-barrel the hell out of any project of this type. It took a person who had both a vision and a hell of a lot of money to make it happen, and there aren't so many of those around.
Why is consciousness computation? What does it even mean to say something feels like being "a type of computation"?

The concept of consciousness is wildly more expansive and diverse than computation, rather than the other way around. A strict materialist account or "explanation" of consciousness seems to just end up a category error.

I take it as no surprise that a website devoted to the computers and software often insists that this is the only way to look at it, but there are entire philosophical movements that have developed fascinating accounts of consciousness that are far from strict materialism, nor are they "spiritual" or religious which is a common rejoinder by materialists, an example is the implications of Ludwig Wittgenstein's work from Philosophical Investigations and his analysis of language. And even in neuroscience there is far from complete agreement on the topic at all.
Thanks for responding. You sound like you're on the right side of things - enabling change and innovation when its sane and possible. Sorry for assuming the otherwise from your previous replies.

I don't think it will. Art is truth and AI is a golem replicating humanity.
As an investor, if a founder's partner is considered "bad" or toxic, they will reject investing in them, as it will likely mean the startup will suffer as a result of personal relationship issues. This decreases chances of success.
Accelerated video decoding is an example. It uses VA-API or VDPAU to decode video onto a surface that is then composited into the final frame entirely on the GPU.
Why does it need to be in physics? What would that look like, a Qualia Boson? It could be an emergent property like life itself. Physics doesn't "explain" life, it explains the physical mechanisms behind the chemical interactions that ultimately produce life by virtue of self-replicating patterns spreading and mutating. There is no Life is physics, and yet we see it all around it because it emerges as a complex result of fundamental rules. My expectation is that experience is emergent from computation that controls an agent and models the world around that agent, and that experience isn't a binary. A tree is more aware than a rock, an ant more than a tree, a squirrel more than an ant, and so on until you reach humans, but there may not be any real change in kind as the conditions for experience become more developed.

I guess my real point is that I don't view experience or consciousness as something special or exceptional. My guess is that over time we come to understand how the brain works better and better but never find anything that definitively explains consciousness because it's totally subjective and immeasurable. We eventually produce computers complex enough to behave totally convincingly human, and they will claim to be conscious, maybe even be granted personhood, but we'll never actually know for sure if they experience the world, just like we don't know that other humans do.
"Bad infections" I really hope you mean bad bacterial infections. If doctors give antibiotics for viral infections (e.g. respiratory infections they fear will become bacterial secondary infections) then we in the rest of the world really need to tell Germany to stop it. Preventive antibiotics is useful for the really vulnerable and chronically ill only.

Here they even stopped for many bacterial infections e.g. typical strep infections and so on, so long as the body takes care of it. I.e. no antibiotics just to shorten the disease period.
In practice, I'm not aware of anyone trying to write a compositor for wayland that doesn't include the window manager (other than xwayland, I guess).
"suffer". Being warned when you speed or in the future (cause we all know that HN loves slippery slope arguments) not being able to speed. The horror.
But the fact that you could is extremely important. There is a set of steps you or anyone can take should you wish to convince yourself. This, in my opinion, makes it fundamentally distinct from religious faith.
A bunch of reasons actually. There are loads of places in the US where it's reasonable and legal-ish to go 80 mph. If you want a nice, affordable car that can go 80 mph without feeling like its about to fall apart, it will probably be able to go 120 mph too.

There are scenarios where I would want a lot of acceleration or top speed (or both), legal consequences be damned. You're not buying a car that goes 120mph all the time, you're buying a car that can do that once if you need it to, even though you very likely will never need it.

But most importantly, because people want it and companies are willing to build it.
> "The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, as amended, created a unique mechanism for compensating persons injured by vaccinations. The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (the "VICP" or the "Program") (42 U.S.C. §§ 300aa-10 et seq.) is an alternative to traditional products liability and medical malpractice litigation for persons injured by their receipt of one or more of the standard childhood vaccines."[0]

NCVIA was passed because of lawsuits over the Pertussis vaccine that were so extensive it threatened the entire vaccine industry. Rather than go back to the industry and say that you need to show that the benefits of the vaccine outweigh the risks with actual data, and not industry funded models, they just decided to hand liability to the taxpayer, through an excise tax. But the same taxpayer pays for healthcare too, don't they have a right to know if a treatment actually works, especially if it's required or requested to attend school/work?

No, I think it's still true. As another commenter said, teens might be into PC gaming, so they have to buy a PC to guarantee they can play all the games their friends play.

Treating sociopaths is not the same as lying about sociopaths or sociopathy because you think doing so will prevent sociopathy.
> Anyone stuck in this mindset really is going to be hindered from making significant progress in developing utility from AI.

I think this specific line shouts out that this is a typical tribalism comment. Once people identify themselves as a part of something, they start to translate the value of that something as their own worth. It's a cheap trick that even young kids play, but can LLM do this? No.

Some might say multi-modal this, train on that-thing, but it already takes tens of thousands of the most advanced hardware and gigawatts of energy to push around numbers to reach where it is. TBH, I don't see it going anywhere, considering ROI on research will decrease as we dig deeper into the same paradigm.

What I want to say is that today's LLM is certainly not the last stop of AI technology, but a lot of advocates tend to consider it as the final form of intelligence. It's certainly a case of extrapolation, and I don't think LLM can do that.

You can use as much water/power as the pipes/wires allow through, but you don't get to have petrol pipes, beer pipes or milkshake pipes laid to your property, neither you get to choose 160V DC or 430V 400Hz electricity, however useful all of these things are.
Acceptable trade off. Driving and transportation are fundamental to economic growth. We should however enforce laws of speeding. Not through tyrannical measures like this though. You can’t say “I want a DIY culture” but also “it’s unlawful to hack my car”. Pick one.

The government has strict ways to make this trade off. Human life is evaluated in dollar amounts. This might make certain emotions running high, but it’s the only way to assess. Otherwise the safest society is no society at all.

Practical Engineering channel on YT recently did a video about this.
Toward the end of Hofstadter’s Gödel, Escher, Bach there is a simple and plausible recursive attentional explanation, but without any serious neuroscience. The thalamo-cortico-thalamic system is a massively recursive CNS system. Ray Guillery’s biok The Brain As A Tool is a good introduction to the relevant neuroscience with a hat tip to consciousness written long after GEB.
Our team uses CDK or CFN for building aws "platform level" infra (ie is go to for infra roles who build / maintain kube clusters or account level stuff), but terraform as the iac for devs who manage their own app-level resources eg rds, queues, hsms etc.

The rationale is that CDK/CFN seems to work more reliably "at scale" for commonly used stacks due to low drama rollbacks etc. Roles that are primarily infra tend to not mind using aws focused tooling.

For devs, the documentation and usability of terraform is just better, plus the wide range of 3rd party integrations is handy. While it can be fiddly / not as scalable it's also a lot easier to adopt resources or refactor stuff which you tend to need more with "precious" long lived app resources.
