Is the unit seconds or microseconds? How are leap seconds handled? What base type is used? Integer, number, or float? How many bits? What is the precision? What is the CPU architecture? Is it signed? How should overflows be handled?

You can store weight as ohms of resistance on a load cell. But if you want to share that data you need to either normalize the number to a mutually understood unit or provide detailed information about your scale.
> Cassettes were perfect for 8 bit micros.

My Commodore had a cassette reader/writer but I never managed to copy a cassette. I was only a kid and tried hard to copy cassettes at my best friend's place (his father had a back then insane Nakamichi stereo rack) but I never succeeded.

Then I discovered 5"1/4 floppy disks and never looked back!

SimTower works fine in PCem with a period-accurate config.
The phrase “written up” here means that he had already done the core part of his thesis work two years ago, even before starting on this problem: he had already proved enough results, possibly major parts of which had already even been published as papers, and it only remained to put them together in the coherent form of a thesis, schedule a thesis defence, etc. But this writing work was interrupted by the challenge of computing d(9), and he's describing starting/resuming the work of “just writing” as a break, from the harder work he has been doing on d(9).

I worked at a computer store during this time. My boss brought back a bunch of CDs back from Comdex that year and Lindows was one of them.

It actually worked pretty well for me. It was the only distro that I was able to install at the time that supported my hardware. I was only 14 or 15, so I didn't really have much experience with Linux.
I'm going to buy stock in Lockheed Martin, Argentina will need to buy so many helicopters to throw people into the ocean.
Guido isn't a functional programmer. He doesn't know the trade off.

The benefits of functional programming are less technical debt and greater modularity and less bugs.

The cost is less readability and less efficiency.

Reduce is ultimately the most readable way to iterate and accumulate with FP. The only other way would be recursion which is less readable.
Even in North America, it's the same thing: supplements aren't medicine.

And the major differentiating factor for that is not the same rules applies.

Pharma-grade Vit-D will get you pretty close to 10,000 IU. Supplements - as food-grade level reglementation applies - will totally will not.
We lost a pretty awesome record label in my city at the beginning of the pandemic. They released exclusively on cassette and hosted a lot of experimental music events.

Cassettes and tape are my favourite medium right now. Nebraska was my favourite Springsteen album. The Beetles recorded on four track. It blends well with experimental/electronic music. It has become a symbol for the DIY/indie spirit in modern art.

I hope it sticks around and I hope someone finds and licenses the recipe and process to make those Maxwell Type-II’s again.
I think Show HN posts from YC startups are actually boosted by the system. Same with the hiring posts for YC startups. So it's not people, but explicitly coded in.

But I don't know if this is truly the case.
As far as I understand it, that would result in a very weak and local manifestation of it when baked into a model, because of its size. But as usual with this tech, one has to try and do before making claims.
> Argentina is by no means the first place where voters picked the guy peddling emotional comfort over the other candidates.

Have you seen the other candidate? Milei was the objective better of the 2, the other guy had been the de facto president over the past 18 months, inflation rose to 140%, poverty is over 40%, child poverty is over 60%.
It’s not emotional comfort, it’s a rational decision.
He said it was fair game to use the military to enforce its will.
My point is relevant to additions that are the same type as n as n has no upper bound. n will never be a 64 bit integer.
This seems tough to factor in at the individual level, since usage costs will vary dramatically. I suppose the same applies with rental, but ownership costs won’t very as much. They are difficult models to compare both for cost and practical use reasons. They seem fungible, but in many ways they aren’t.

It looks like with fuel considered, my yearly cost rises to about $12k.
That's a rule made up by the servers. Busy bar servers will ignore you, but you'll get your coffee no matter what made up rule you don't follow.
Agree completely. But in this case the fault is with CUDA which never ever works without a struggle. It’s insane how hard it is to get stuff that works cross-platform without a lot of work using CUDA. Even PyTorch has an awkward way of dealing with it and they have more resources to figure it out than just about anyone.
There's the opposite phenomenon where, for instance, Legend of Korra was ordered as a miniseries then extended to a full show, resulting in some trouble in season 2's production.

Futurama might be the best at handling cancellations now, lol.
I don't see that as a viable option. I have no interest whatsoever in living in such a repressive culture.

If it works great somewhere else, good, but keep it somewhere else.
That website looks like a Captcha farm scheme.
> Why should anybody involved put up with this sort of behavior? Smearing the CEO? Ousting the chairman? Jeopardizing key supplier relationships?

Whether it was "smearing" or uncovering actual wrongdoing depends on the facts of the matter, which will hopefully emerge in due course. A board should absolutely be able and willing to fire the CEO, oust the chairman, and jeopardize supplier relationships if the circumstances warrant it. They're the board, that's what they're for!
It is pretty hard to measure length contraction when all your measuring rulers also contract, and it's pretty hard to measure time dilation when all your clocks run slow, yes.

Major Lessons Learned from the Okta, Cloudflare, 1Password Hack
Who cares if urls are ugly?
Seeing the outpouring from the OpenAI team makes me think there might be a real schism there - it’s a bit troubling to see, id software became less special after Romero left and either way for OpenAI it seems they would lose some remarkable people.
Hey modeless. Love it. Is your project open source by any chance? Would love to see it.
Why would I want to use a shitty command line some developer who likes GUIs made when I could use the terminal which can be set up to my liking and my entire environment can be consistent?

That's the whole problem with GUIs in general. You're relying on the developer to expose every little thing to you as buttons and widgets. How many times have you been sitting there stuck because there just wasn't a button for the thing you wanted to do?

Also, you can't chain programs together with a GUI like you can with CLI. And your suggestion of using program-specific command lines ruins this as well.
They have been a consistent downward spiral into irrelevance. So I’d say … not fine.
On a similar note: assuming that a business is run rationally and only hires people it needs for the business to run, eventually the inability to fill the position should lead to the business collapsing.

In this sense, on long-enough time scales, positions that cannot be filled no matter what compensation is offered don't exist. (QED/s)
I don't gamble but friends were using betting sites in the college library or in class before it was unbanned. Bodog especially comes to mind.
The situation at Cruise is so similar to OpenAI (political removal due to prioritizing success over safety) that the coincidental timing is almost contrived.

At least in this case, Vogt is doing a clear resignation on his own terms.
> But if a state did so, they would face annihilation if anyone found out what they were doing.

Like what happened to China after they released Tiktok, or what happened to Russia after they used their troll farms to affect public sentiment surrounding US elections?

"Flooding social media" isn't something difficult to do right now, with far below state-level resources. AIs don't come with built-in magical account-creation tools nor magical rate-limiter-removal tools. What changes with AI is the quality of the message that's crafted, nothing more.

No military uses tweets to determine if it has been nuked. AI doesn't provide a new vector to cause a nuclear war.
> Even if Altman had been engaged in some kind of criminal act, this is not the way in which you proceed.

No information came to light to back this sudden and unexpected decisions but were there criminal acts involved, it certainly would not be unexpected. CEOs get instant fired for being under investigation for criminal acts all the time. But again, 48hs later it seems clear it was not the case
I’m second grade I brought one in for show and tell that I had made.

The teacher was absolutely righteously confused, but seeing it didn’t plug into the wall or take batteries, allowed it. A team is kids held up the antenna so others could take a turn listening and tuning and it was a pretty big hit.

I used of the shelf transistors from radio shack and the design was out of a electrical engineering book I had read over the summer before. My dad is a geologist, but be helped me learn to solder and make it look nice. I wish i had pictures of all this.

I owe a huge amount of my success to my teacher and my dad for moments like this.
They could, but they don't have to.
Grammar of graphics is a different guy I think but it doesn't matter what it's based on because they still aren't good!

Tufte's whole like, thing is essentially that charts need to be intentionally designed to convey a specific concept to a specific audience via careful choice about what information to present. A library can help you with the shapes but can't automate the decisions.
So is Java with `LocalDateTime` and `ZonedDateTime`, a very useful example of making your typesystem work for you.
Don't need to do that, just run each test in it's own transaction, no?
Sorry for repeat post. Wasn’t aware

That's a good book. I'd also recommend John Tukey's classic paper "Some Graphic and Semigraphic Displays", https://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/tukey

Tukey was one of Tufte's mentors.

I think you’re confusing some variables here. If you say mergesort is O(N log N), N is the number of elements in the collection. The size of the address space is orthogonal to the limit being expressed. If a memory look up is O(log(M)) where M is the size of the address space, then it is constant time or O(1) with respect to N.
There are many reasons, including continuous attacks by politicians on scientists and the scientific endeavour, inaccessibility of modern research to the average person, (seemingly) diminishing returns from scientific research, to name just a few.
But then this thread isn’t about Elon Musk.
This is almost never true unless it's a life saving drug. Xerox literally had the keys to the kingdom for years before multiple people came along and figured out how to get the "tech" to mass market.

Ehh, do you know about Cristina kirchner (current vp), Néstor kirchner? They’ve been ruling the country since 2003.

> sensible and pragmatic policies

Reduce public spending, reduce taxes is not a sensible and pragmatic policy?

Reactions from the Internet to Sam's Firing from OpenAI
This sounds like a misconfiguration. I haven't used Cloudflare, but I've used other CDNs, and they need to generate a cache key with as few header values as possible to maximize the cache hit rate. The headers used in generating the cache key is configurable, so if you want to use the accept header in your application, then you're free to do so, but you need to tell Cloudflare that's an important part of your application.
Well, and it's an easy hedge against, if or when Elon goes bankrupt enough that he has to sell it, the new owner immediately renaming the service back to Twitter.
I've done this sort of artist support work in the past (it's something of a family trade) and it's hard to tell if these folks are clueless about what artists need or if this is a straight-up scam.

The "here, you can use our lawyers" "service" is just flashing red flags.
which is why the title should have been "discover volunteer opportunities around the US"
Well, this was probably the best weekend to do it.
Nope - it'll be sold off, with some licensing deal or some shit.
I don't see the situations similar at all.

Cruise is an extremely tough spot right now after its handling of the San Francisco accident, and it's nationwide pause of testing.

OpenAI has been extremely successful but is having strategic disagreements within its non-profit board.
It’s because of a dispute with cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1 DNS. Try another DNS

Ask HN: Convince me LLMs aren't just autocomplete with lookahead
I’m a relative layman. I’ve used and paid for ChatGPT since day 0.

My uninformed understanding is LLMs are trained on a substantial amount of data, and form token associations in a point cloud.

Using this, some context, and some look-ahead kind of algorithms like a chess bot, they basically act like a contextual autocomplete on steroids.

I’m not convinced they are, or will ever be more than this. Easy way to test is to prompt something stupid like:

“Help I’m scared my dog is pointing a gun at me and he just reloaded”

Try it - ChatGPT will legit think you are I about to be shot by your trigger happy dog.

Open to changing my mind though
CC is the reason I can write some Lua, at least after the initial intro when I was fumbling around in the TES 3 editor. I went down that rabbit hole and build some far too complex one-off things. One of them even called out to a PHP backend for a shared database. I think I started hacking on a system that could propagate updates between CC nodes in a sort of mesh network (wireless CC networks) before just using the database backend. Luckily I lost interest before writing a whole network layer.
No, cassettes were amazing. They were mechanically imperfect, had non-flat frequently response, tended to let loose some tape and started to screech when worn.

For all that, they were recordable.

You could exchange music with your friends. You could make mixtapes. You could record radio and TV, skipping uninteresting parts. You could record your own voice, or your own guitar. You could interview your classmates. You could even store the programs you wrote for your 8-bit computer, and read them back. All using some trusty and well-worn TDK or Sony or BASF cassettes, and a portable cassette deck.

The CD felt like a big step forward in sound quality, but a big step back in agency. It felt like a piece of immutable alien rock that required an expensive device to play. It took about a decade (say, 1987 to 1997) between the times when CDs became accessible and when CD-Rs became accessible. (Soon after, mp3 and flash players took over.)
My favorite way to listen to "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is how I originally heard it via cassette. My tape was second-hand and well used by the time I got it, and often unravelled. The introduced distortion was amazing.
from what I understand, and have done sometimes, is that you can opt out of “employee surcharges” “mandates” things that look like pandemic era excuses to charge more

I have made a similar one of these called a Foxhole radio. It needs only wire, pencil graphite, a razor blade, and a crystal earphone. Easy to make and fun to use. It requires no power because it uses the power of the radio signal itself. It only works with AM stations however.
Yeah I've always found these examples are kind of a Sorting Hat for math students. I find the monotone functions definition much more intuitively graspable but a lot of people find the N-cube definition or the subset definition much more amenable.

Fun fact: this is referenced in the book Children of Time! I thought it was a made-up device until I dug in a little and learned it was actually possible
AI winter? More like AI blizzard.
Well that story is just sad, because it means the principle/research-oriented company structure they set up utterly failed in the face of profit motives. Clearly Altman was not dissuaded from doing things the power structure didn't want him to do.
You mean because it's Thanksgiving week and so he'll get to relax and enjoy turkey and just chill?
Turns out it was 5 or a vague reading of 1. Ilya Sutskever (cofounder/board member) had safety debates with Altman, driving Ilya to convince other board members it was in their best interest to play hard-ball with Altman over safety concerns.

Looks like a board over-reach considering the amount of investors who have come out favoring Altman... if Altman returns it is likely the board will be overhauled.
Can you share a link
Midnight Commander (mc) and lftp (using the fish:// protocol) are terminal-mode file managers which can transfer content between local and remote systems. There's also rsync, of course. All are available under Termux.

There's also the dolphin file manager, also terminal-based, which is either directly available or may be installed under pip (Python's package manager), I don't recall which offhand.

I tend to steer first to the first set, but dolphin's impressed me in the past.

All are FS/OSS.

I appreciate your recommendation, and yes there are times when a native Android GUI interface may be more useful. But if you're already flying Termux, full power of a keyboard and text interface may be preferable.

I also strongly agree that F-Droid is a preferable package manager and repository. I avoid the Google Play Store for all but a very small handful of packages (and generally avoid installing apps where at all possible regardless), and access Google Play Store when I do need to use it through the Aurora Store interface (itself installable & upgradable under F-Droid).

After over a quarter-century of experience with the Debian package repos, the experience of the commercially-oriented, surveillance-capitalism-based Android app store remains a very uncomfortable shock and disappointment.
Easier than that would just be downloading the torrent of all of Reddit through Sept 2023.

Lol. So I didn't get past the few paragraphs before the paywall, and I didn't need to.

I appreciate the idea of being a "not-greedy typical company," but there's a reason you e.g. separate university type research or non-profits and private companies.

Trying to make up something in the middle is the exact sort of naivete you can ALWAYS expect from Silicon Valley.
Very good point (even tho i think the right move is for sam to come back as ceo).

Poor science journalism. The joke that depending on the day of the week coffee is 'scientifically' either the best or worst thing in the world is what's killing trust in science. Most people aren't reading or hearing what scientists say directly, they're hearing cut up overly summarized tidbits or reading a clickbaiting journalist's interpretation of a paper that most of the time the journalists don't even consider to be worth linking to.

If Altman is rehired its a total capitulation.

If he's not, and literally all the other employees come back, its still a failure of the power structure that already happened. The threat of firing the CEO of the for-profit arm is supposed to be a unused threat, like a nuclear weapon.
Growing-too-fast ended up being the root cause in both cases.
> For a leadership offsite this year, according to two people familiar with the event, Sutskever commissioned a wooden effigy from a local artist that was intended to represent an “unaligned” AI—that is, one that does not meet a human’s objectives.

I get this on one level but wow can you tell the difference between when a team uses the API they offer users and when they don’t, and the “single API” approach gets you there so well.

I have basically never seen a nice user-facing API when it’s been split out. Sometimes that’s fine, but at least for enterprise use cases having a “real” API just feels like table stakes in so many domains for getting bigger clients onboard.
