Thank you for the reference. I hadn't seen Unchained.

You missed the point about this example though. I wanted to show how Numbat can help prevent the exact error that you made in your program. 'G_Newton * earth_mass * solar_mass / distance_sun' is not a force. It's an energy. How would you write type annotations in this Nim example to help you find that same mistake?
Observability is about logs and metrics, and pre-observability (I guess you mean the high-level-only records simpler environments keep) is also about logs and metrics.

Anything you register to keep track of your environment has the form of either logs or metrics. The difference is about the contents of such logs and metrics.
Uh, our money does already expire. It's called inflation.

> Behaviour can't tell you there isn't internal life, but complex behaviour sure is a big red flag that there might be internal life there.

I agree, behavior is evidence, but there are good reasons to suppose that, despite their behavior, computers lack internal lives. To try to make my argument more clearly:

I know I have an internal life (due to subjective evidence). My internal life is related to the structure of my body in an unknown way. I'm willing to grant that other humans and similar, evolved organisms also have internal lives because they are the same kind of evolved thing as me.

If someone wants to argue that a designed, thoroughly understood object (like a computer) has an internal life, they need to explain how the structure of the object gives rise to an internal life. Behavior isn't enough.
Yes, MIT License allows for modification, not going around claiming you wrote all the code.
I think the examples by naysayers of what AI can’t do are often cherry-picked.

The way has been shown with the web. Now many people who would have been paying a designer are using things similar to Wix. A lot of people don’t need top of the line custom work, and most custom work isn’t top of the line. I’ve seen AI frequently, but a bit unpredictably, hit the high notes. https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2005/07/25/hitting-the-high-n...

I wonder if it makes sense to learn web development. When I am done in two years, how to find a job which is not already done by an AI? :-(
I have, and it kinda works, but I usually have a pretty good idea of what I want the theme to sound like, and I'm never able to find something that even resembles my vision.

That leaves me with 2 options: hire an orchestra and a choir, along with a composer to make the sound I want, which would cost me a lot more than my games ever sell for, or pick a sound that's never quite, or usually even close to, what I had in mind.

With this tool, I'm hoping even someone as musically untalented as me could take the music that's playing in my head, and get it(or something very similar to it) playing on some speakers. It probably won't win me any musical awards, I don't expect this to to magically take me from zero to Vivaldi, but if I can make a tune that sounds like what I imagined, it'll be a win for me.

I'll add here that I really for the life of me cannot see the harm in that, even though you didn't really imply there would be, but others in this thread have been screaming it pretty loudly, so it appears to be a concern among fellow hn'ers
In my case, macro and more of it. Huberman recommends 11min per week. For better or for worse, I'm doing a little over twice that.

This number includes taxes, benefits, etc, not just raw salary.

Notably Signal employees do not get equity, so the salary must be higher to remain competitive.

Signal is probably the hardest class of product to build. Name an optimization/distributed systems problem, they probably have it. And quite literally, a Signal bug could jeopardize an activist/journalist’s life.

So for a <$200k salary and no equity, how many world-class engineers do you think you could hire?

I simply wouldn’t trust the product, if it had mediocre engineers.
There is no end game until there are end users beating on the system. That would put the 'real' in 'real-time'.

I wonder what's the play here. They seem to make noise about RCS recently and give it attention, even though it seems they'll be forced by the EU to open up the iMessage system soon. Apple is not known for Google's "let's have 5 different communication apps at the same time", so... what's happening here?

Any twin engine can fly with one engine out. The over-water part is that it can fly on one engine for a long distance to get back to an airport - which tends to be further away if you're flying over the ocean. Basically having a bit more margin in the design for extended endurance with an engine out.
"Hurt" is not quite the right word. "Hurt" seems related to "suffering" which the essay is attempting to separate from "pain".

New information is going to reconfigure your thinking to some degree. Like scarring your muscles through exercise you can get used to the feeling of your thoughts being reconfigured.

If you watch young children learn anything, you will see that process of reconfiguration happen before your eyes. The pain involved in that experience may not be particularly hurtful (though sometimes it is).
yeah. with FL it should be possible to make sense out of all data that is distributed across devices without ever having to move it to a central location (i.e. collect it). In the case of speech data, users participating in a federated setting would likely come from different backgrounds, which could be reflected in their accent or use of language.

You can filter that to be as small as you'd like. Also, it can intrinsically matter much less; if you're switching at, say, 1MHz (which can be desirable for smaller inductors), you're talking about thousands of cycles of ripple in each frame.

Assuming you're using a global shutter camera: even if the ripple is completely unfiltered, the only remaining intensity effect would be that some frames get 8000 "blinks" in a frame and some get 8001.

Already, stage and film lighting is a relatively small market compared to the entire lighting market, but it's not so small that NRE can't be spread across a lot of units.

I think the key points are 1) your idea that "no one supports Hamas" is false, even taking the worst of those polls still shows significant minority support, and 2) Palestinian Islamic Jihad (and a West Bank offshoot of Hamas) are more popular than anyone in Gaza, and IIRC they're more militant than Hamas.

Technically and legally this should be possible. Unfortunately there are both ethical and technical reasons to avoid Sunbird. The Sunbird developers are spreading a FUD hit piece against open source software[1], which rubs me very wrong. They also clearly don't understand software development best practices.

The following statement from Sunbird makes no sense, and only serves to imply that they don't practice code review: "There is no central authority to ensure quality and maintenance [of open source contributions] and by putting that responsibility on Sunbird, development would not be feasible."

If they're worried that open source contributions will sneak flaws past code review, then they clearly aren't ready to review existing closed source contributions either.

Without heat? No. With less heat? Yes.

Light is energy, and filming requires a lot of light, so there's always going to be significant visible energy available to heat things up. (Unless you're filming a mirror, but in that case why are you illuminating it?)

Incandescent lights emit a lot of invisible energy in the form of infrared radiation, while LEDs are designed to emit most of their energy in the visible spectrum. This means LEDs need less energy to produce the same visual effect, and therefore impart less heat. Another option is to slap a "hot mirror" or "cold mirror" (like the one from the dentist's office) in front of your lights that separates the visible from IR.

That's never going to happen for two main reasons.

The first one is that, despite the EU’s blatant attempt to carve the rules around the likes of Apple while simultaneously trying to shield EU companies, they've overestimated the amount of iMessage users, excluding iMessage from the DMA rules.

The other one, which is more important in this discussion, is that the EU kept the definitions of services rather broad to the degree that Apple’s adoption of RCS will automatically fulfill the interoperability requirement.

Only if both users in a 1:1 chat are using Google Messages. E2EE is not possible even with Samsung Messages, so I highly doubt it.

Interesting. At least against public companies, this could be a viable alternative for reporting serious issues that aren't taken seriously in said companies' vulnerability disclosure programs. ("Hey, E Corp clearly knew about this risk")

It might also result in a ton of spam to the SEC and maybe drive companies to close their VDPs if opportunistic bounty kiddies clog the programs with SEC threats over their clickjacking submission.

Interesting indeed. If only for the resulting detritus, at least until any of this ends up in the courts.
One more: attacking people who are familiar and comfortable to you rather than the people causing your actual

As a manager in tech, people who were on performance management rarely attacked me, they would find someone on the team to harass instead. Same thing with blaming a downturn in the economy on women painting their hair blue or mini skirts. Anything but blaming the powerful.
Not Everyone Agreed with Einstein
> then a linear regulator to convert the remaining ripple to heat.

I've become much less of a fan of the "switchilinear" approach. The control loop of a linear regulator isn't fast enough to respond to fast switching frequencies; the regulator is effectively just a resistor in a filter network at that point.

Even if your switching frequency is in the regulator's loop bandwidth, the loop's gain at that frequency is almost certainly very low.
No, because the underlying thing has mostly bad uses. The higher bar towards accomplishing it prior to AI mitigated the downsides.
> Shou Zi Chew testified before Congress and lied through his teeth

So, what will we do about it? How will we subpoena ByteDance's internal emails and commuications with the Chinese Ministry of Public Security to demonstrate that he knowingly lied?

If we get a valid warrant for Zuckerberg's emails, we'll have them in our hands shortly thereafter. If we get a warrant for Liang Rubo's, we won't. This presents obvious challenges to an investigation.

I could see someone making the exact same arguments that you're making about caffeine: you need to increase the dose over time, it's habit forming, people are not the same when they're not on it, etc; but many would argue that they drink coffee successfully for entire lifespans and are better off for it. You're demonstrating a 'spiraling out of control' reaction that happens when people habituate to stimulants but—well, I'm not sure how many cases this actually occurs in.

Stimulants may be used by individuals with true deficiencies in an effort to get to baseline. Many people who start using stimulants in their 20's and 30's report being able to express healthy, practical behaviors that they couldn't summon themselves to express before: cleaning the house, making it to meetings on time, paying attention in conversations. The caution that you're expressing is warranted with any substance, but I'm sensing a bit of fearmongering which I think could possibly stop individuals from trying a substance through which they could possibly receive benefit.

I actually bought a Hyundai from a dealership 3 hours away and the salesman drove down to where I live (with his dad!) to deliver it.

That was nice, but the main assurance is that I know who sold me the car and there will be no passing of the buck on warranty service or anything else. Amazon has no place in the transaction - even if they offered some or other thing, I don't trust them trying to weasel into the deal. I'd probably wind up with an expensive Armor All subscription I need to cancel.

v3 only comes in one flavor: large.

I don’t think you’re going to have a good time running the large model on a Pi of any kind.

The large models are 32x slower than the tiny models, roughly.[0]

I just tested, and whisper.cpp on my Pi 4 can transcribe the 30-second a13.wav sample (“make samples” to fetch it) in 18.5 seconds.

You can do the math… 32x = 10 minutes transcribe 30 seconds of audio with the large model. Not a good time for most people.

The Pi 5 could be 2x to 3x faster.

Monopoly is the wrong term here, the root-cause of this situation is that Google is now maintaining the largest OS-implementation of RCS by far, only followed by Samsung, and then some carriers who also use RCS for other platforms (web-apps, STB,...).

Apple adopting RCS means that there is another player to balance this field. A much-needed player, and the only one that's relevant (other than maybe WeChat and WhatsApp)-

> With very few exceptions, it all goes through Google.

Yeah, because the mobile end-device for RCS is currently always an Android device. If there would be support from Apple, an RCS-server of Apple could handle the communication to Apple-Devices.

The idea of every carrier owning his own RCS-server was anyway already dead before the first client was released. The number of carriers never increased after the initial rollout of the major working-group members, simply because there is no way to charge for the service and monetization of such a small userbase with other services was not sustainable.

It's worth to put this into time-context here: When work on RCS (or "RCS-e") was initiated, WhatsApp was already well-established and leading the European market.
What's beyond me is - how just simply predicting the next token brings up this kind of magical comprehension in a model that otherwise has no sense or is aware about itself.

RIP SF/F author Michael Bishop (1945-2023)
The Rivian portion is interesting because it seems like there's an implied failure mode not being acknowledged, where Rivian pretends to work, absorbs lots of money, then says "through some mysterious circumstances we have failed!".

I'd have to read the full bond document, yet it seems like until its all over (and I guess everybody agrees it all equaled out), there's still $15 billion of municipal bonds outstanding. What happens if Rivian belly flops again? Last I saw they couldn't sell a truck for $100,000 without losing money.

Also, how do I do this with my property taxes, so the area and I agree I don't pay property taxes? Guess its an exploit only for a certain caste.

Message from my former self. For years, I balked at the prices of the Bose. In retrospect, I wish I'd paid it much earlier.

I'd tried some inexpensive ones, and I'd read about how nothing can cancel all noise. Nonetheless, the Bose are far better than the earlier inexpensive ones that had soured me on the idea. I've never tried the Sony's, but I've read (ha!) that they're fairly comparable.

And the Bose I can wear all day without discomfort. Also not true of other pairs I'd tried.

I'm out of that environment, now, but the amount of stress I might have saved myself...?

My QC 35 II's may have been defective; despite very attentive care with them, the ear pads started failing within a year. :-( Nonetheless, if they were my only option and I were again in such an environment, I'd begrudgingly (because they should last longer) pay that every year.

P.S. I can't listen to music while working. I just need peace and quiet. Maybe a gentle sound of waves in the background, or the like, but nothing my brain/attention will "lock onto" and try -- whether I want it to or not -- to interpret.

P.P.S. Skip the Bose 700's. Known for being notably less comfortable. A clear mistake in redesign that had since been reversed in newer models (but the 700's are still for sale).
There was a program where you could fly to Germany and buy a BMW there, drive it for a few days and ship it home. Ended up being cheaper than buying it at a local dealership. Not sure if it is still available.

Dealerships are local jobs programs in some sense and they got State laws enacted to secure their positions. Tesla went up against them and won I guess.

My guess is the Amazon program will be similar to the Costco program.
