> A popular term in the parent community is "screen kid" to describe those kids who come for a play-date but literally don't know what to do when there isn't a screen in their hand. Screen kids tend be more neurotic, distractible, emotional and totally addicted to screen time

There's evidence that from a very young age, kids with ASD are more attracted to screens and tend to stay longer on them; because this starts earlier than the age at which ASD is diagnosed, its often been spun (especially in the popular press) as screens contributing to ASD, but there is a lots of reason to believe that the connection is more the other way around.

What was so fun about Super Mario RPG for me was the sheer amount of Easter eggs. From Geno's Whirl's 9999 damage (only to normal enemies, not bosses, EXCEPT for Exor), to fighting Culex, to all the steps you need to do to unlock the lazy shell, and hundreds of others I forgot or never knew about, it felt like a truly endless adventure.
Invidious supports the DASH streams, so I guess those are disabled on that instance.
Not sure why the cost would be borne by sellers. More likely consumers will pay for it as part of the grid infrastructure in my opinion.

I already have docker / docker-compose installed for development purposes, so in my case it was literally running git clone ..., then docker-compose up -d.

Considering this is about losing 5 seconds lost for every video being watched on youtube, I am pretty sure this time investment would amortize in <1 month of yt watching.

Do you show the same concern for how cheap the time is for the people spending their time bitching on reddit / HN / twitter about this issue for weeks on end?
It's definitely unrelated to that, and I'm not even 100% sure it is illegal now.
You're free to spend your free time/money rewriting mountains of legacy C/C++ code in memory safe languages to use in your projects.

Good luck.
In Firefox for Android 1.120 they seem to have made some improvements for the upcoming extended addon support and have added a link to find more addons via addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/android.

Let's hope lots of apps are available soon, including including Firefox Translations.

"In anticipation of opening up the Firefox for Android extension ecosystem later this year, dozens of new mobile extensions will surface during the 120 release cycle as we continue guardrail testing."

Funny, I actually also started it many times, always liked it quite a bit, but never played to completion. I think I was just not drawn to it in the same way I was to, say, Chrono Trigger or Final Fantasy VI (or Super Metroid, which is not an RPG but is contemporary...) all of which I've replayed to oblivion, even on my mobile, even to this day.

Ask HN: Objective Function for AGI
The objective function of LLMs are to predict the next few tokens after in the best possible way.

But for humans, the objective function is survival. Evolution has created us human beings, and evolution works by survival of the fittest. So the objective is survival.

How do we digitize this objective of survival, so that it can be used to train models leading to AGI?
Good thing that you can now use a system prompt to (theoetically) override most of the RLHF.

> I don't have to agree with the man's recent decisions around Twitter or politics to credit his past accomplishments

If Musk had been a "good leftie" he would have been carried on arms both here as well as in the media because of his work in furthering the electrification of transport. Bezos does play that role and as such is not targeted like Musk is even though his companies have had a detrimental effect on retail employment opportunities, even though working conditions in Amazon warehouses are know to be less than optimal. It is also why there is no criticism on Bezos buying the Washington Post since he runs it as a "good leftie" would.

Here's a thought experiment: Imagine Musk buying the New York Times and changing the editorial board to use it as a counterweight to Bezos' WaPo. He'd bring back the likes of Bari Weiss, get rid of the identity politics crowd and see to it that the clear left-wing bias the NYT has been burdened with is would be undone. All the news that's fit to print would again be the motto. No more 'DEI' nonsense, nothing of the sort, back to basics. Now there would be the Bezos-owned WaPo doing the whole DEI/oppressor/oppressed/identity-politics thing versus a NYT which attempted to critically [1] report on the state of the city/country/world. What would the reaction to such a take-over be, who would get the support of the like of CNN/MSNBC, who would you support?

[1] as in the 1980's dictionary sense of the word 'critically', not as in the 'critical theory' deconstruction-type criticism.
I personally wen't this route last year and eventually got things working (networking etc. OK with only the kernel). My company then took a direction in which each compute node has its custom kernel, so that we can control the initial stages of boot better (initrd is dynamically downloaded from intranet, given that the network drivers are baked-in) to manage heterogeneous nodes with different "roles" (GPUs, add-on devices, etc.).

Something I have been surprised about is how much functionality exists in the Linux kernel and how much more reliable the modules are compared to many user-space tools (e.g. race-conditions).
I'm not GP, but that's a really good point and one to keep in mind.

I suppose the question is, did the farmers market threaten all the other land owners if they allowed a competing farmers market to open up? Or throw metaphorical wrenches in the way to a competitor?

Google's exclusivity agreement makes it much harder for alternatives to emerge. Even with this though, I get that they are funding open source development and need to protect it somehow lest it be stolen (cough by Amazon cough) and made a competing platform. I'm quite unsure where the balance should be.
And this illustrates why margin as defined in CSS doesn’t really make sense at all. Outer margin is not usually a property of the element itself, but its container.
Yes, but the rest of the grid can not, except for some forms of hydro, flywheels, superconducting coils and grid scale batteries. They hydro has a fastest rate of change of about 1 minute from zero to full load and a bit slower to go back again and batteries can more-or-less match renewables for rate of change. The superconductor solution is the fastest but also the most expensive per KWh of storage.

In the time before renewables all of the rate-of-change limitations came from sudden increases or decreases in consumption, never from the supply side and this has subtle implications for the structure of the power grid and how much power companies can do to control the match between the two.

Think of it as a person walking across a rope with a balancing pole: you can overbalance for a short while because you can correct for that with the mass of the pole. But if the overbalance is too large for the mass of the pole then you will inevitably fall (brownout, blackout).

TikTok is an example of a successful Chinese company that is out-competing US social media giants. If they were a US company, Facebook or Google would've bought and killed them when they were an early startup.

American big tech companies aren't competitive in anything. They're entrenched monopolies. Google, Apple, Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon products are all shit, but users don't really have any other choice. If we break them up, it will create market opportunity for actual innovation in the US.

The question is whether we actually have the talent and expertise to innovate once you remove all of the current artificial barriers (big tech monopolies, walled gardens, etc).

I think we do. At least more than China, where most of their big tech companies seem to be built on stolen and cloned tech.

I hope that the long context length models start getting better. Claude 1 and GPT-4-128K both struggle hard once you get past about 32K tokens.

Most of the needle in a haystack papers are too simple of a task. They need harder tasks to test these long context length models for if they are truly remembering things or not.
That´s an interesting FF extension idea...
A proper solution would be to implement your own put/setenv in the program that needs special behavior. That solves everything and does not affect any other programs.
Who funded this research, or indirectly the institution/s behind the research. I wish this declaration was labelled under the heading for all research. I’m jaded though.
They sound increasingly self-aware. Adverse childhood experiences are important to crawl out from under, and it takes a lot of work. If you're confused about what they're saying, why not ask for clarification?
>YouTube has an option to pay for your usage, too, and you’ll never see an ad if you use it.

Not exactly true anymore, because ad revenue direct from Youtube sucks, creators were forced to start taking sponsorship deals and advertise directly in the videos. Raid Shadow Legends being the meme sponsor points to how prevalent this practice is now.
It isn’t obvious to me why you think iPhones and iPads have retarded some of the cohort? Can you expand on the causality of it and what ages are you referring to ?
Did you find a clever/elegant way of detecting tic-tac-toe winning moves? I wrote a simple implementation in Typescript several years ago; I tried some approaches with representing the cells as a 2D array and looping over the rows/columns, but I ended up just using a flat array and hardcoding the sets of cells to check [1]. If memory serves, using a flat/1D array made other parts of the code easier, not just the game logic, though that might have been due to my inexperience; I was just starting to learn React/frontend dev at the time.

Those are just frontends on top of Stable Diffusion. They won't provide what you need for a game - the results aren't animatable or rigable.
The EU's GDP lost about 3.1 trillion USD when the UK left. How is that accounted for?

Indeed, the article says Eurozone, while this graph (and the one on nominal GDP from same source) says 'EU'.
Superconducting coils as well. Those are popular near windfarms due to their fast response time, both on the uptake as the release.
I recall TrackMania Sunrise was like this. That game was made to be modded, so it kinda made sense they made replacing audio easy.

Side note: After watching The Stig's laps while listening to dull audio on Top Gear, I tried replacing TrackMania's music with very soothing music. My times got better.

So many factors concur.
- Windows still has 2x the market of Apple in the US only.
- Windows has lots of legacy code and architecture to maintain.
- Apple users are acquainted with a learning curve, while Windows users are prone, they just want features, not quality.
- Apple prices are A LOT HIGHER, if not double or triple, especially for non-US buyers.
- Custom hardware makes it much easier to avoid pure bugs, because hardware predictability is a good thing for software reliability.
Being buried away in technical debugging tools is 'silent' for 99.9% of users.

A common task that repair shops do to "fix a slow PC" is clean dust from the fans and heatsinks to reduce throttling. Users don't know or understand that this is happening, they just know their system is slow.

And of course, talking about all of this as if 'screen time' is all the same is _insane_. Anyone that thinks watching youtubers screech at each other for hours is equivalent (for the purposes of mental development) to watching an adapted Broadway musical has not put any thought into the topic, and that's entirely setting aside the topic of interactive vs passive entertainment being lumped together..

But hopefully the strategy of "just let the kids blend it all together and hope it washes out in the statistics" is a good enough method -.-
Not to mention taxes, mandates, sanctions , and even wars
There’s no guarantee the internal culture stays the same after such a drastic move and there’s definitely going to be people who consider that in their reasoning. Then there’s a sizable fraction of people in tech who outright hate Microsoft. Some number of people who MS probably doesn’t want. Some number who were actually attracted to the idea of working at a non-profit etc…

Seems like a weird question. Are you a researcher in a related field? Then maybe incorporate this finding into your models for how things work or tweak your future experiments based on this data.

Are you an unaffiliated Rust developer? Then you're not really supposed to do anything with this.. it's not particularly for you. Read it if you're intellectually curious, to expand your knowledge and understanding of the world in general? Or ignore it if you don't care?
They can cry out all they want. That's free speech too.

But censorship doesn't happen until 13.

The simple explanation is symmetry. Each one of these has a mirror action between the speaker and the responder to the speech. For example #12:

The speaker (and their sympathizers) can refuse to use those banks and marketplaces (i.e., a boycott).

As well, not allowing the marketplace to do that is forcing them to associate with that speaker. If I run a store, and I decide "I don't want to deal with Mr. X because I don't like how hateful he is.", why should I be forced to do business with him?

13 is the one that has no symmetry. We can not opt out of the government. That's why the line is there.
Maybe when Common LISP gets its next standard and stops being a geezer on the deathbed ? The world has changed since 1994. So has the computing landscape. If a programming language is static for more than a human generation, then it cannot expect any sort of adoption.

Smart might be a Vague term but I would love to hear ideas from people from all sorts of backgrounds (tech and nontech) who are ambitious and knowledgeable.

Are there any existing platforms that foster such a community? I don't think it is very hard to build and run such a service if it does not exist already. In my humble opinion, You will have Low Traffic as you are gatekeeping(professional emails allowed only, Approved emails, etc) thus leading to elevated quality and low costs.
Indeed. I guess measurement of your "brain function or well-being" might not show any difference, but the way you perceive those activities might have changed completely.

I have a similar observation regarding Movies. Funny how this can be improved by watching a movie in cinema, a purpose of cinema which silently grows while the original purpose of "better audio/video experience" is fading...
If MSR people wanted OpenAI salaries they could have applied to OpenAI.
Well, this is not the n-th visual block language but an IDE with realtime reruns of modified code.

Tangentially, but not so much: I was talking with a 17 yo last weekend. She teached Python herself a couple of years ago and they are teaching it now in her class. She can't understand how her classmates can have difficulties understanding

x = 5
y = 6
z = x + y

I asked the value of z to a 30 yo that was listening to the conversation and he first answered 5 + 6, then looked at us, thought again and said 11.

The student then told me that some of the other students eventually understood that z takes the value of 11 but their question was "how a machine can do that" and nobody answered to them. I wonder if a little of assembler on a toy CPU could be a better starting point. For example this Machine Code for Kids card game [1] They are selling the cards from the home page of the site (I'm not affiliated with them, I just bought a few decks.)

Or a two bits binary adder with logic gates.

People spooked by OpenAI turmoil should go with Azure OpenAI services. They host OpenAI's models for almost the same pricing but with enterprise-level SLA. If you are outside the US you can also choose an Azure datacenter closer to you.
I remember the forking of https://github.com/public-apis/public-apis and the long git issue discussions. The company owning the repository stopped maintaining it but didn't give up control either. Over the years you've put in a lot of work in publicapis.dev and that is much appreciated.
I've had my Google play store account locked down for "fraud" (they never told me what it was) that caused all of my Google services to be stopped (googlefi, gmail, google domains, etc) and I could still always use their SSO to log in to things. I also make youtube comments with zero hesitation to harass Trump fans and am frequently suspended on youtube and it just stops me from being able to comment.

My NAS has been using yt-dlp to download various Warhammer 40k videos from youtubers for 3+ years, I'm around 10TB.

My working theory is there is no way to actually get banned from using google services permanently unless perhaps you do a charge back or something I haven't tried.

I also do everything I can to not use google services after my "fraud" lockdown. I've made longer comments about it here before in my history if you want the full story.
Why wouldn't every big company stand up their infra on GCP then? Especially games and things that don't have huge backend requirements, this would be a no-brainer.

I'm all for "green shipping" and using technologies like sails or electric boats to do things more efficiently.

I'm just wondering why "manufacturing more things locally" isn't really discussed more. Doing something like growing cotton in America, shipping it to China, and then shipping shirts back to America seems a lot more wasteful than just using cotton to manufacture stuff here.

You are simply incorrect. They can reason.
But why is that so bad? Movies retell the same story with the same beats over and over again. I think we should be more concerned about people who can focus on something repetitive for extended periods. What's wrong with them?
To me, that graph looks like 2.1 refused a higher precentage than 2.0.
Depends on which version of Vice City you played. The original PS2 version would not have had access to a hard drive.

GTA: San Andreas on the XBOX did allow you to use such a feature, provided that you had used the XBOX's disc drive to rip the audio CDs yourself. I recall letting the XBOX rip all of my System of a Down CDs circa 2005 for expressly this purpose.

PC ports, IDK. Probably.
This would be great for consumers and app makers, but do you think this will ultimately help Apple? (honest question)
> Ah, ok. Just let YouTube know how many ads they are allowed to run and we can clear up this whole issue.

I did. I installed a blocker once they added unskippable adds and I was fed up with 2 ads in a row before a 10 minutes video. They did not seem to get the message as every time I try to disable the blocker it seems to be getting worse.
In general, I think it's a good idea to be deliberate and judicious about your information diet.

In my experience, the more low-quality information you've got in your head, the fewer interesting ideas will emerge. Mainlining social media is very much like watering the fields with Brawndo the Thirst Mutilator.
Productivity Techniques Which Won't Burn You Out
I doubt all of those 700+ employees are ML Researchers. For the majority of that employee base there would be an equivalent role already in MS. That wouldn't go well with them.
Eg. There would be atleast 1 web-developer in OpenAI who would have written the ChatGPT UI. That person for all we know might be better payed that the web-developer folks working on Bing UI.

Going to be honest, I still hate them and all I feel is sadness that it feels like the employees of OpenAI are going to end up building microsoft products... I didn't love a lot about OpenAI but honestly I'd rather ChatGPT shut down than become a microsoft product. Though obviously it's naive to wish for that since that's obviously not how it'd go.
