What's the difference between, say, Karpathy's nanoGPT and your GPT implementation?

Is it just a difference in speed, or are there some new theory details to learn?

Thanks for sharing your work.
Because that's automatically better range, cleaner airflow is less drag. That's why cars have all of those underbody skirts, it improves their mileage (and helps with not fouling up the more sensitive bits).
There is no separation of “it’s my personal blog” when you are in senior leadership of a company. When you’re SLT/founder/owner you represent that company on a personal level.

Imagine buying a condo in Trump Tower and thinking that that you can separate Trump’s personal life away from his real estate business. If you do that in 2023 you have to know that your house guests are going to think about that in some way every time they step foot inside.

No general-purpose camera, analogue or digital, functions particularly well as a measurement tool. They are simply not designed for that purpose.

Blending multiple exposures is not an "AI transformation". The first iPhone to do HDR was the iPhone 4, introduced in 2010.

If you dislike HDR for some reason, no-one is forcing you to use it. There are lots of iPhone apps that will let you shoot a single exposure. That's never going to be the default in a consumer point-and-shoot camera, though, because it will give worse results for 99% of people 99% of the time.
Ask HN: Can a fully remote manager be effective?
Hi HN,

I find myself in a peculiar situation. During COVID when remote/hybrid work became huge, my team's manager moved back to his home country. This was fine at the time, but with return to office this year, our team is now in a strange situation - our manager is fully remote and the entire team is colocated/in office.

Has anyone been in this situation before - fully remote manager with in-office team? If so, how did you make it work? My current feeling is it's not sustainable. But I'd like to make it work, if possible. So any tips or ideas would be appreciated.
The colors should not upstage and/or distract from the underlying information it aims to communicate. Beautiful is subjective. Instead, channel your inner journalist and aim for objective, neutral, etc.

Like most visual asthetic efforts, when in doubt (and that's most of us), "under-designing" is better than over-designing. And there's certainly no shame in borrowing a color palette from a previous effort that just worked.

If you find yourself wanting to apply creativity to your data visualizations, put down the gun (i.e., mouse) and go for a walk.

p.s. Also, don't forget to pick the right type of chart for what's to be communicated. We've all seen too many instances of "Ooooh. *That's* what's wanting to be communicated??!!"
I promise there is nothing in the camera trying to make you look even a little better than normal. Especially not removing moles; people use their phones to send pictures to their doctors, so that would kill your customers with melanoma.

If you want pores you need a higher resolution sensor, but even most of those have physical low pass (blur) filters because most people don't like moiré artifacts. Could try an A7R or Fuji X-series.
For what it’s worth, Go might not be the best example here as its compiler does very little (hence the fast compile times).

Some LLVM-based language would fit the bill better, like Rust, C (also true of the intel compiler and gcc), C++, etc.
Thanks for making me feel like I'm not the only one who has a problem with this. This is a pretty unprofessional way to publish results. Like just think for 2 seconds about what women scientists might think about this particular presentation.

I'm sure there are women out there who don't have a problem with this. And I am not some kind of weirdo who has a problem with people enjoying looking at attractive people. But I think in a professional context there really isn't any good reason to lead with stuff that might alienate people. It is, at the very least, tacky.
I love innovation.

There still needs to be a CV joint to allow steering, but short of hub motors[1] There isn't much you can do about that.

What I would be interested to see is how lubrication works. Do you think they just have a bunch of oil in the bottom and rely on centrifugal force to fling it to the ring gear? Then let surface tension transmit it to the sun gear?

[1] They are heavy and heavy wheels affect ride quality, as suspension works essentially by allowing a light wheel to move up and down dampening against the mass of the heavy body. If the body is light, then you need to have less dampening, which means more shock/impulse is transferred into the main body of the car/
One of my favorite Munger quotes is "The more you shout it out, the more you pound it in".

Meaning that if you talk with a strong opinion on a subject, then it is hard for you to change your mind by thinking it through further and coming to the conclusion that you were wrong.

I guess one could turn this into a recommendation like "Speak softly and stay flexible".

It's interesting to note that Munger himself often didn't follow this advice and was quite bold in expressing his thoughts.
To expand on what prawnstar said - it's exactly because of this that we recommend using uuids as the primary key (uuid v4 specifically). While you can use integer ids, you need some workarounds such as pre-generating sets of unique ids per device.

I don't think it is about truthfulness, but rather motives and incentives.
The rule in Netherland is that traffic going straight ahead (including pedestrians) have right of way over traffic making a turn. So cars turning right on green have to stop for pedestrians crossing on green.

But Dutch traffic lights for cars also make clear whether or not this is an issue you need to watch out for; if the traffic light has an arrow pointing right, you're guaranteed to not be crossing pedestrians on green. If it's a solid circle, you need to watch out. My driving instructor paid a lot of attention to that.
Wordsmith is correct and a man with abundant talent. There's a great fairly recent documentary about his rocky life called Crock of Gold.

Regarding his aptitude for song writing there's a interview with Nick Cave where he covers a Pogues song... Cave describes spending time with Shane McGowan and him having a pile of songs in a mound on the floor. Picking them up he sees there are beautiful songs just lying there most destined for oblivion. A prolific song writer to say the least. You'd wonder how many gems were lost to his irreverent nature.

Hypothetically: Could these issues be from the core of the team now being co-located again? Yes, I understand the manager's role and is accountable for that. That said, perhaps viewed from a slightly different POV might help y'all figure out a better way forward.

It auto-captures screenshots, recordings, API statuses, Network logs and conducts root cause analysis, aiding swift bug fixes. Our dashboard centralizes bug management, interfaces with platforms like Jira and Asana, and delivers essential QA analytics, offering a comprehensive view for managers.
Same in Netherland. Arrow means it's guaranteed to be safe (unless a pedestrian is running a red light, which is possible and not an excuse to hit them), whereas a solid circle means you have to watch out for crossing bikes and pedestrians (though of course you should always watch out).
Molecular movie captures DNA repair from start to finish
One of the things that’s always tickled me about this bent of “conservative thinking” is that they generally believe two things at once:

1. Freedom of speech and self-determination are sacred and fundamental rights, and in the economic market that means that everyone is free to make purchase decisions based on closely-held personal beliefs. Private schools have the right to exercise their freedom to make their own curriculum without government intervention.

2. People and private organizations who choose not to buy a product based on closely held personal beliefs that are the wrong ones are childish cancel culture warriors.

Why should you care about Duke’s organizational disruption anyway? It’s a private school and you don’t work there.
"Just rewrite it in Rust" is a bit meme-y, but what I wanted to highlight is how you can look at ZFS itself for inspiration. ZFS has checksums to detect bit rot; maybe you want a language with better support for contracts / static analysis. ZFS has zvols to expose virtual block devices for use with other filesystems; maybe you want a language with safe C interop; etc. Any improvement in safety over plain old C would be desirable, and even unsafe Rust is safer.
What a legend.

So don't buy a V100 then, and test it for a few bucks online somewhere. If you want other's to provide yo that hardware for free, with no chance of you actually buying you just come across as entitled.
It's also why having the camera open and previewing destroys the battery. Some people I know keep the camera open for hours - especially when exploring a new place and wanting to take a photo of a cool thing at a moments notice, and then moan their battery dies at lunchtime.

> because each pixel is still correlated with reality, just modulo a simple, reversible transformation

It’s absolutely not reversible. Information gets lost all the time with physical systems as well.

Also, probably something like the creation of the image of the black hole is closer to computational photography than “AI”, and it seems a bit like yours is a populist argument against it.
> And as it says in the link

That is the opinion of an uninformed tech writer, and even besides that, he's not claiming it did happen but just that it could possibly happen.

In this case you do have someone who knows how it works, that someone being me.

> The phone changed the image on skin and not on random other things that wasn't a face.

There are some reasons you'd want to process faces differently, namely that viewers look at them the most, and that if you get the color wrong people either look sickly or get annoyed that you've whitewashed them. Also, when tone mapping you likely want to treat the foreground and background differently, and people are usually foreground elements.

That will be the denoising. Legs are thin and can easily be interpreted as noise - especially when using digital zoom and dim light so there are very few pixels and each pixel is very noisy.
I think aeroplanes are not a good point of comparison.

For one, mechanical steering is still very complicated, with many meters (miles?) of hydraulic hoses, actuators, pressure control systems etc.

Two, aerospace is healthily paranoid about QA and failure modes. I'm sure a steer-by-wirw can be extremely safe when done with that mindset. But Im not sure if that's the car industry's mindset, let alone Tesla's.

Finally, fly-by-wire offers enormous safety benefits in aeroplanes, because of what it enables. But I have no idea what steer by wire enables for a car.

> There's nothing innately wrong with the idea of colonizing these worlds.

That is a subject of disagreement. Kim Stanley Robinson depicted a coming clash between proponents of Mars colonization and keep-it-untouched environmentalists in his Mars trilogy. (And from his later novel Aurora, one wonders if KSR has actually gone over to the anti-human-expansion side.) Thirty years ago, that might have seemed fanciful, but not today when environmentalism has made wider inroads, especially among younger generations. It is easy to find rhetoric now about the future of humanity where the writer talks about the need for degrowth, humanity as a virus, etc.
Ask HN: Insights for teching tech and coding to children
Hello everyone, I’m Stefano, a programmer deeply interested in education.

I’m leading a project aimed at demystifying digital devices for elementary school children (7/9 years). We’re about to embark on the second phase and I’m seeking insights from this great community.

Our journey began in a public school in Italy, where we introduced programming through an “analogical language”. This approach involved the use of the body, cooperation between students and other classroom activities that mirrored programming logic, including logical operators and conditions. The use of Scratch was a key part of this phase, allowing students to apply these concepts in a digital format.

The upcoming phase in January marks a significant transition. We’re starting with disassembling old computers to give the children a hands-on understanding of the hardware that powers digital technology. This practical approach aims to reveal the workings behind everyday digital devices and services.

The ultimate goal is to foster a deeper understanding of the technology that surrounds us. By demystifying the inner workings of computers and software, we hope to ignite a curiosity about the science and engineering behind their favorite devices and apps. This project isn’t just about teaching coding; it’s about unveiling the “magic” behind digital technology.

In this next phase, I’m contemplating the use of languages like p5.js to bridge their newfound hardware knowledge with software development. As we delve deeper into the complexities of technology, I’m eager to hear from those who have experience in teaching young learners about coding, hardware, and the interplay between the two.

I’m undertaking this initiative as a volunteer, dedicated to making a difference and I’m not perceiving any financial compensation.

Your feedback, resources, and personal experiences in this area will be invaluable. They will not only guide the development of this initiative but also contribute to an open-source framework and knowledge base for educators and enthusiasts globally.

I appreciate any advice or stories you can share. Your support and motivation are essential in shaping this educational journey.

Thank you in advance for your help and insights!

It really seems the simplest way to go. But I guess because of history it's hard for people to conceptualize how it would work. (Outside of HNers that is)
> Tanner Greer uses Oswald Spengler, the original chronicler of the decline of genius back in 1914, to point out our current genius downturn.

The author has a recency bias. I think the real burst of genius was from 800BC to 300BC.

During that time you had Homer, Archimedes, Pythagorus, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, the Buddha, Confucius, Zeno of Citium. You had the Odyssey, the Hebrew Bible, and the Bhagavad Gita. Judaism, Confucianism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Stoicism all have their foundational writings/teachings written down during this time.

Way more people have read and studied and learned from Homer than from Tolstoy. Aristotle is way more influential than William James.

Or maybe, different historical periods produce different types of genius, and many times it is apparent only looking backwards in time who the geniuses were and what was their true impact.

To ditch the biz we have to make dev and ops accessible to ourselves. Nobody does that. Making a proper login form still requires a team and a week.

The biz sits there rubbing its hands, watching us making the means of production more and more complex and expensive to use, so that it has a complete monopoly on creating software.

Devs are so used to relatively big paychecks from the biz that unconsciously tend to ignore these issues.

It’s not implementing dark patterns and cookie popups that makes you on the biz > * side. Tolerating the complexity of software development is. “Biz > complexity > *”. Push the complexity to the right as much as possible to ditch the biz.

Due to developer deformation it should be explicitly stated what the complexity is:

- Pointless “constant evolution” (version.major++ in less than 5-7 years, previous versions abandoned),

- Embracing epoch-breaking changes (2/3, ESM)

- Low-level as the norm (scaffold, config, listen, route, ddl, connect, hash, jwt, css, setstate, useeffect, fetch, … in place of business logic)
Social media algorithms have changed. Viral things used to be semi-random (eg. the 6:01pm on sunday bug, which heavily promoted things initially published at 6:01pm on a sunday because thats when some weekly stats aggregation function ran, and the age of the video in seconds was used as a divisor, so you got huge popularity boosts for the first week if you could post in the right second).
When the Cybertruck was announced, it was speculated that it wouldn't be street legal at all in the EU. Obviously, that was many years before any actually rolled out of the production line and before any objective information was available.

One thing I didn't see mentioned, which is a pet peeve of mine, was how it's not ideal to use just hue or just lightness when you're supposed to read values from a dataset.

Case in point:

https://blog.datawrapper.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/full-...

Which slice of the pie represents Japan? Probably the leftmost, but they happen to be few and ordered, so it's easy to infer that.

Now imagine this is a map, not a pie chart and you don't know where Japan is. Pretty hard to tell those very similar blues apart.

One way out of this is to use two lightness levels per hue and sufficiently distant colours:

All personal opinion .. But I honest hate attribution licenses. In many cases it's inconvenient and not obvious how and where to put it

Say I made a poster at a conference and a small graph uses his colors. Where am I to put this attribution? Can you imagine if every color you used required an attribution ? Thankgod Microsoft doesn't require it in every PowerPoint presentation

I find the whole thing sorta legalistic and inhuman. You attribute when it's relevant. If you're extending something then I think it's the decent thing to attribute who's work you're basing it on, when possible relevant and convenient. Having stuff like pasting in "OpenStreetMap" in the corner of every single map online just makes the world uglier and doesn't help anyone. (not to mention it doesn't even give exposure to the people who mapped the area you're showing)

Id gladly pay $10 to the guy so I never have to use an attribution

EDIT: Just to illustrate the horror. There is an R package with these colors: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/cetcolor/cetcolor.pd...

First time I've seen a library with "License CC BY-SA 4.0". A library that requires attribution in whatever it creates.. 0_0
More specifically, if you claim to be able to “animate anyone”, why wouldn’t you demonstrate a diverse set of characters? A mix of ages, genders, skin colors, body shapes, and abilities, a well as a mix of photos and various illustration styles.
That’s a pretty hand-wavy argument. You can just frame a picture however you want to give a very different image of a situation, que that overused media-satire picture of a foot vs a knife being shown.
It isn't clear to me how this is a first amendment issue.

If the federals are concerned, maybe they should actually do something instead of progressing into extremism and leaving it completely to states to rule but then stepping in when they do? Social media is a wild west of unregulated harm being bestowed upon children and adults. In addition, all of them are indeed national security threats.

The district judge's explanations seem naive. And TikTok's reasoning shows misunderstanding as well. The first amendment guarantees free speech, not the transmission of free speech through the medium of TikTok.
It is. One of the key differences between the EU and US regulations is (was?) that there is a greater evaluation of what happens to a pedestrian when hit by the car being tested.
> The claim was that any camera without this feature is "entirely unusable" and the photos couldn't be saved even with "hours of manual edits".

You missed the "in certain situations" part, which completely changes the meaning of your "quotes."
Come on guys.

TikTok is not Chinese propaganda - it is a social media with random stuff like YouTube or Instagram.

You want to ban it simply because it is succesful and has Chinese owners; not because of some concrete expression of speech that is outside of what it is legal or reasonable.
