I haven't heard any real details of what Q* is supposed to be; I assumed it's related to reinforcement learning. I guess it's possible the heuristic in A* was replaced with a neural network value function. I'm not sure how that could lead to a breakthrough in language models though.

Great site and product! Congratulations on the launch.

I actually have a use case for this in my product Loginllama. I need to grab information about the IP addresses. I’m currently using a different API but don’t really like the product.

Is it rate limited or have any key authentication?

Honestly the open-source community is one of the most unironically capitalist communities we have. Do devs have social responsibility? Nope, fork it. Do devs have a responsibility to take input from the people their product has locked in? Nope, fork it. Do devs have a responsibility to maintain what they produce & present? Nope, fork it.

If only forking it was a good answer, we'd have solved so many by now.
Thanks for the feedback. I will look into this.

Does the error go away if you just refresh the demo?
This was a view that was initially taken by the government for encryption as well. But everyone can agree open sourcing the algorithms and libraries has been the best move.

It is the same with AI/AGI. Anything closed source and having regulatory oversight is useless, decreases innovation, increases bureaucracy and will only serve those who wish to build a “moat” to further their hold on the technology.
Dunno, (long) covid seems to deplete (iso)leucine and BCAA/HMB is necessary to supplement if one wants to recover from it and not function like a zombie for years...
Seems like moving to something like DANE would be a good way forward. Seems like having the site owners tell the public what cert should be expected via DNS with appropriate signatures would obviate the need for CAs. (Yes I realize that this just moves the trust anchor to the DNS root authority, but it does reduce the number of authorities you need to trust).

Echo and Google Home both have the ability to dial out using your voice. They both do a pretty good job without having to voice-train them. It's an additional option. I mention it so the option does not get overlooked.
BSG was always "Mormons in space." With recycled props from Buck Rogers back in the 80s.

Buck Rogers was not religious. It was pure episodic adventure. The TV series has nothing on the (or any) Buster Crabbe serial from the 30s.

Yeah, refreshing the page makes everything work again. I can see changes to the spreadsheet in real-time and I am capable of resizing cells, changing fonts, etc. The only problem is with editing the contents of a cell.
Awesome, this can help makes VPP even faster and flexible for implementation. It can also help with nested containers to be more lightweight for networking purposes especially nested containers that are increasingly useful in network systems simulation and emulation.
Sounds like the perfect candidate to run in a VM.
Yeah, this is now as I count it the third or possibly fourth time this story about the 5 second delay has been recycled onto the front page of HN. I guess because the first analysis was incorrect (about user agent dependence) everyone feels entitled to try to re-jigger the spin to see what sticks?
Ah. Yes i figured out the issue. Could you share your current location? Are you in the US or Japan? We create a date pattern matching expression based on your current locale.
I find it interesting that 8 years later, they’re still not that common in the US.

I’ve seen them used to make logging into a streaming video service in your TV easier, or setup a piece of hardware (HomeKit does this, or a variation).

I know restaurants tried to use them to make finding the menu easy during the pandemic when they stopped giving people physical menus by default. But it seems people REALLY didn’t like that. I guess I see them from time to time in advertisements but not consistently and don’t know people who scan them.

That basically leaves Venmo and maybe PayPal payments as the most common reason I see them while out and about, but again that’s rare.
In the UK it's criminal if you "have reasonable cause to believe" that there were issues with their immigration status. I don't know about other countries.

I'd love to see 'mining' defined more broadly here. Sure metals are a great target but every useful and valuable material known to man exists in landfills. A "full cycle" or "total recovery" mindset would be far more exciting. Treat everything as potentially valuable and you get better economics. I'd love to join a company who had this as their mission. Sure, start with metal recovery but continually build out new recovery processes until you can "ingest" everything and turn it into something useful.
I just replaced my older TV that I sued a Fire stick with with a Roku TV because I'm sick of the ads.

Even if I accepted the claim that the techniques are the same, it's irrelevant. It's simply a matter of fact that standard installs of commodity server operating systems have a significantly larger attack surface than a unikernel system. Sys loggers, email agents, inflexible and insecure user/group access control, and just general ambient authority. Unikernel systems have none of this cruft by default.

Oh, haven't heard of this technique before. Very cool!
I think you're missing my point. LeCun is saying, "ignore the deluge of complete nonsense" while also saying something to the effect of, "they've probably just created an AI model which can plan".

I agree that the reporting on Q* has mostly been nonsense, and I suspect those articles were published just for the clicks, but at the same time this tweet makes zero sense because an AI model which can plan is somewhat concerning so perhaps those articles were on to something?
My point was that Shopify is removing carbon from the atmosphere with their DACs. It’s not their fault if someone then purchases that carbon they removed and decides to shoot it straight back into the atmosphere, or whatever it is you’re concerned about, assuming just anyone can even purchase Shopify’s removed carbon. I suppose we can’t be satisfied until Shopify finds a way to remove the carbon and then ship it off of earth entirely using a space elevator?
> Your solution to hitting a bug in a tool

If only it were "a bug". Rather, there was a steady trickle of post-mortems for production issues which couldn't be explained-away as a lack of testing; which secure coding practices would not have prevented; which took multiple experienced developers a while to figure out, and whose behaviour surprised all of them; and which were unavoidably baked into the design decisions of the underlying technology. This was also in a team that purposefully focused on building small, task-specific, loosely-coupled systems.

> is switching ecosystems and spending years building up your expertise?

Meh, it's easy enough to jump between PHP, Perl, Python, Ruby, Javascript, etc. since their differences are pretty minimal. Indeed, their language roadmaps seem to be "copy each other's homework" (generators, async, etc.; JS even added a `class` keyword FFS!). Even for someone who's only experienced with one particular approach taken by some specific framework, there's probably a work-alike clone to be found in all of those languages. Heck, the current PHP advocates keep going on about how different PHP7/8 are from PHP4; in which case, it may be easier to jump ship to another interpreted, untyped, imperative, procedural/OO scripting language (which may also be more battle-hardened and stable than that new version of PHP!) It's certainly not like switching from, say, Mercury to Zig!

Anecdatally: My first job was PHP programming, which I landed despite having never used it before; I was hired since I knew Python, I did fine. I got another PHP job a year later, whose interview included a written test. A few years later I learned that (a) its purpose was to check if candidates were lying about knowing PHP, by asking questions that exposed PHP's unique quirks and pitfalls; and (b) I'd apparently scored higher than anyone they'd interviewed before or since, despite only having used it for a year. In other words: some programming languages are so similar that switching between them may be easier than learning a new framework.

> What happens when you hit another bug in the new ecosystem?

My whole point is that this question is not answerable, precisely because "bug" is such a broad category. If the bug is a minor annoyance, we'd work around or avoid it; if it was more serious, but small, we'd maybe upstream a patch; if it was more difficult we'd maybe sponsor a core maintainer to work on it; etc. Presumably we wouldn't be hitting fundamental design problems, since our switching process would not land upon a notoriously flawed technology, cobbled-together by someone who "hates programming" and is "really, really bad at writing parsers"[1] (yet nevertheless proceeds to bake much of their language's semantics into the parser![2])

A junior engineer on my team asked me why we store bytes in our Blobstore/Filesystem rather than something structured like a DB.

Bytes are a "narrow waist" and in-fact DBs actually use our system for storage. By supporting bytes, anything that can be serialized can be stored by the next layer up and the contract is very simple.

The biggest problem I see is that the part of the board you need to cut off intersects the ground. If you're leaning the board on the ground, you need to somehow trace a line parallel to the ground several inches above it. Hopefully you can solve that by using a spare chunk of 2x6 and tracing along that. Similar story for the vertical joint.

I don't know if that's what the author meant, though.
by the title i was trying to think of where China’s southern border leads, lol
That would imply a unidirectional flow of influence from society to communities to families to the individual. But those ecosystems really communicate with feedback loops, and not strictly downstream. Improve one, you‘ll likely improve the others.

If you think strictly unidirectional, you‘ll end up at the Big Bang as the root of all suffering, and what would that achieve?

> I don't understand all the love for Dune. I read it, it was ok, and that was it. 3 underwhelming film adaptations is more than enough.

It's the Count of Monte Cristo meets Star Wars, with great world building, pretty good plot and characters and a lot of interesting philosophy, sociology, strategy and tactics. What's not to love?

The scifi miniseries was decent. The 1984 one was...barely Dune, though I enjoyed it. The current one is the first really good adaptation IMO, I don't think it's overrepresented at all.

After acheiving a certain level of expertise, most people tinker in the languages they're most fluent with (if they want to focus on the project) or the ones they're curious about (if they want to focus on the language).

It's a profound understatement to say that antirez has a certain level of expertise, and a certain fluency, in C.
The concern is not so much about number of parts replaced ($) but about turnaround time because cadence is ($$$). If building a new booster from scratch with its tanks, its engines, the avionics, etc takes n days and refurbishing a booster takes n-1 days, refurbishment's the way to go.

More simply put, they could not have hired and built factories enough to keep up with their manifest. I think at peak production they were churning out a bit better than 1 Merlin per day and that's far lower today. So, let's say they could double that peak rate with brute force hiring and factory expansion. That could get them 800 Merlins produced per year. But that's only 80 launches a year at best. They're gonna do very close to 100 this year and well over 100 next year. Further, they couldn't magically double Merlin production as I imagined above. Since boosters are being re-used so often, however, they've actually cut production to something like 1 Merlin every 3 days which gets them a few new boosters each year to replace expended ones, and all the second stages they need.
Thunderbolt 3 uses the four high speed lanes of the USB C connector. The USB 2.0 separate wires are present and are definitely used.

Yes, it's USB4 which added USB packets to the bus, TB3 only had PCIe and DP.

That's rather interesting there, what do you mean by aggregating? Thunderbolt could always carry 40gbps worth of DisplayPort packets and afaik it was not lane bound.

Yes. They still build new boosters, not often, a few a year, and new second stages are cranked out every few days. F9 is still in production and will be for years to come. It shares no manufacturing with Starship.
I usually phrase it as arguing parties discussing a high-dimensional idea by projecting it down to a much lower dimensional space, and if they can't seem to agree, it means they're projecting to widely different bases - considering different aspects.

Visual analogy: take a cylinder floating in the middle of the room, and a single light source you move around. As you move the light around, it'll cast shadows of very different shapes. This is merely projecting a 3D object to 2D, but if all anyone in the argument has is a single snapshot of a shadow, you could see how a person seeing a circle might have trouble agreeing with a person seeing a rectangle - and yet they're still talking about the same thing.

(The biggest hurdle is to get people to realize their view on a topic is a low-dimensional projection of a high-dimensional thing, and not just the thing - and that to do something productive with it, one must be willing to "walk around" a bit, project to different bases.)
Your theory for predicting the future is “people don’t lose money?”
On the other hand, the technocrats are beholden to actual elected officials, instead of the current situation where a group of random people selected by private companies coordinate their work by consensus without much formal structure and the members are beholden to nobody by their company boss.
> measuring what your users prefer

Ah, this is the disconnect. I don't have users. You're talking about creating an application; I'm talking about just using it to solve my own problems.

It's not that I don't realize that prompts like "you are a {whatever}" modify the output, it's that I'm skeptical that it does a better job of helping me solve my problems when I start out that way than it does when I just interactively ask it for what I want. I tried this kind of thing for awhile "you are an advanced planner assistant", but now I mostly just say "could you help me come up with a plan for XYZ?". So I've become somewhat skeptical that I'd see a difference if I tried to measure this for my own use somehow.

But thanks for the pointer to a tool! It might be interesting to see if I could make that work to measure my own intuitions better.

I find that it's easiest to think of the different intervals on the fretboard in terms of diatonic "distances". Diatonic distances are like diatonic intervals, the major third and perfect fourth etc. of usual music theory, except that they are zero-based: a string forms a unison with itself, so it's at diatonic distance zero. Numbering the guitar strings from the sixth (lowest) to first (highest), the diatonic distances that are crossed in the conventional tuning are 3-3-3-2-3. Just add one to the sum of distances and you get the figure for the corresponding interval: so the 2nd and 1st string form a fourth, 3rd and 1st form a major sixth (as do the 4th and 2nd string), etc. You really don't need any kind of brute force memorization.

Then you can just use solmization in your mind to figure out how to build any scale pattern on the fretboard regardless of key, keeping in mind that e.g. ut-fa is always a perfect fourth, ut-mi a major third etc. and that mi-fa is always the semitone interval. (There is no ti in historical solmization, you just sing sol-re-mi-fa for the upper tetrachord then pick up again with re-mi-fa etc.) Memorization comes most easily from repetition, the deliberate effort should go towards figuring out the underlying patterns and how to think of them most intuitively and musically.

(BTW, solmization is also very helpful in making musical sense of isomorphic keyboards, which much like the guitar fretboard are essentially non-diatonic. It helps you keep track of where the semitone intervals are in a musical line, since they will always be associated with mi and fa.)
The second stages are still single-use only, and they're still occasionally building a first stage, if only to be sure they don't lose the capacity. (They're less public about engine replacements, but those are still probably happening too, on "flight proven" boosters in inventory.)

After looking up further into it, looks like we were both wrong ?

I was talking about the Crisis of the Third Century, when you can see the debasement of currency getting really bad. The timeline seems to be something like

plague + climate change + weak institutions => civil wars => civil wars + plague + famine + barbarian invasions => almost miraculous stop to the collapse

Alaric and the Huns were a couple of centuries later, though it does seem like Sarmathians played a similar role at that point ? But Roman legions were still far off from recruiting non-citizens at that point, and even when barbarians invaded, they did not stay for long ?

My confusion probably came from that debasement - that was a big drop, but the debasement had started significantly earlier !

So if we look at indicators like denarius silver content, lead pollution, shipwrecks... they all seem to point to the beginning of the decline around 125 AD, so about 125 years before that big penultimate crisis ? I will have to look at what then some other day though...
Compared to pretty much any other output you'd have on an av receiver 15/20ish years ago (so hdmi, XLR, or some other standard analogue like rca or speaker wire). Possibly similar to the compression level of blutooth, don't have access to any systems that'd be easy to compare against these days for toslink.
Most motherboards I’ve looked at in the last 4 years have at least a couple M.2 slots. I built a new small form factor PC in 2020 w/ AMD Zen 3 in a DAN A4 case, and haven’t filled up the 2tb of M.2 Samsung storage in my single populated slot. I’m curious what kind of price point this feature makes sense for. Old motherboard without M.2 but new enough to support bifurcation for the PCI 5? Doesn’t seem like a big window for to me, but I’m probably missing something.
