Nothing like any other society.

I lived through Communist Poland.

Comfortable life for officials meant that they could use stores with stuff from the west (to buy Levi's jeans, Marlboro cigarettes, or perhaps even a walkman - you can google Pewex to read about these stores). Many of them had also homes. Not as in villas, but as in plain homes that you see in american suburbs.

One of the country leaders in 1950s built himself a villa once, but he never got to live in it, because the rest of the leaders make it understandable to him that it will end badly. So he ended in one of the regular homes. (you can google Ochabówka - I've been inside, and again - it's like twice as big as a regular american home, nothing like a villa you would imagine).

You can also google how Gorbachev and other Soviet party leaders were living. It was better than common people but not much.

The main difference in quality of life was that the regular police couldn't just lock you up (secret police could though), and you wouldn't be beaten up by simply showing on a street during work hours, or doing some other crazy stuff like wearing colorful socks or long hair. I mean, no party official would dare to do it anyway, but regular police wouldn't stop them.

So on one hand - yeah, the societal divide was way lower. But it meant nobody was free and everybody was poor - as in no TVs, no meat, and even a toilet paper was a luxury. Nobody I know would want to get back to that.
Shamed by whom? And how can those people tell you're using LLMs? Is it possible that whatever output you're producing with LLMs isn't very good?
But can a transformer run the Apollo guidance computer?
This is neat. I like how unobtrusive it is compared to most things like pomodoro timers that have big numbers changing every second.

Is there a way to get the full progress bar to hide (without quitting the app) once I'm done with a timer, but am not yet ready to start another?
... or death! Let's hope not though.

It has large outter seals which are great if you wear glasses and it's extremely light. The inner seal is also pretty thick and I have shortish facial hair that doesn't impact the seal at all.

Why do you think the economy will worsen next year?
Yeah a family member received bone marrow transplant for MM 8 years ago still here. Lenalidomide works great
I agree. Mithril hits the sweet spot.
I'll be blunt, having experienced the damage caused by DRF Model* accelerators in mid sized codebases I just hate it.

CRUD stops being CRUD quickly, these CRUD accelerators just intruduce more non linearity into the development. Its easy to hit a wall and hack around the accelerator to make a little bit custom behaviour leaving behind API implementations that are totaly "irregular" from each other each one mixing different low level changes in the middle of high level accelerators.
I don't think this confirms that. They could just be better at managing their concerns around LLM safety before announcement.

Hawaii has a "no billboards" law [0] (as do Maine, Vermont and Alaska). I think this is a cleaner, better statement than "ad-free city," which is obviously far overstating the case and paradoxically doesn't even ban billboards (they're still allowed for non-corporate advertising).

Great question, I personally recommend:

1. Simple Made Easy by Rich Hickey (video https://www.infoq.com/presentations/Simple-Made-Easy/)

2. Thinking in Systems by Donella Meadows (pdf https://wtf.tw/ref/meadows.pdf)

3. Raymond Hettinger’s content about CHUNKING is classic for this (one example video https://youtu.be/UANN2Eu6ZnM?si=TnLLj1CASwubkAS2)

4. The classic tome on Abstraction is Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid, by Doug Hofstadter (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gödel,_Escher,_Bach)

5. Finally, I’ll cut myself at lucky number five by pointing you toward Jüergen (You-Again!) Schmidhuber’s fascinating webpage: https://people.idsia.ch/~juergen/

Honorable mention to Margaret Hamilton’s T-Maps and F-Maps. Use a hierarchical numbered outline.

Zoom in and out of the fractal network. Remember your working memory holds seven (7) concepts, plus or minus two (2) … so chunk size around five (5) or less is ideal for cognitive accessibility.
And doubly scummy behavior on the part of Dropbox.
Of course most users don’t pick the 65W option. They want maximum performance, and the cost of electricity is largely negligible to most people buying a 7950X.

AMD isn’t going to offer a huge discount for a 65W 7950X for the reasons discussed elsewhere: they don’t need to.

I get that there is a tradeoff with code density, although if you could have an encoding scheme or extended register mode to alleviate this. I was just thinking that if you have e.g a loop where you run out of registers, since you only have 16, then the compiler will swap the values to memory and reuse that register which creates an instruction dependency that doesnt really have to exist.

If the compiler could use the hidden registers, then the cpu would know that it could run this instruction ahead of time.

It is probably not worth it, since it adds a lot of complexity to an already complex system, which is why it isn’t done.
He "wields power against others"? What are you talking about?
I get that. I just thought there were a tonne of even more exotic finds of more advanced technology than woodworking — but it’s not always clear which are ‘fringe’ and which have been invested with the epistemic authority of institutional science. That is the confusing thing.
Then let private motorists pay their share of the upkeep. I'd throw out a guess that it's upwards of 99%.
> I personally and anecdotally want fewer apps and tools to get my job done

Same, because if learn the CLI and scripting once, then in most cases you don't have to worry about other workflows: all you need is the ability to project your problem into a 1d serialization (ex: w3m or lynx html dump, curl, wget...) where you can use fewer tools

If Jimmy only ever prototyped the pencil by collecting and working the wood and graphite himself then, sure, he didn’t exploit anyone… as soon as he went into business employing others to manufacture those pencils he started to. The moment he concentrated the means of pencil production in his own hands he started to exploit both his raw suppliers — that graphite miner’s health woes are the fruit of Jimmy’s demand — and his employees. In the end it was the people actually turning the raw materials into pencils that made the value; the invention added nothing until someone’s labour was exploited.
Ok, I'll use the condition that the utility of the product has to be clear from the name alone. Sounds reasonable.
I read another article talking about what waymo was working on and this looks oddly similar... My understanding is that the goal is to use this to reconstruct 3d models of street view images in real time.
Isn't DNS over HTTPS and other DNS encryption schemes suppose to protect against this type of tracking since you can't introspect anything in transit?
The sentience thing is such a red herring that gets too much time spent on it. The topic is a pariah in neuroscience even, but we are going to discuss it as nauseum for AI when there's barely any research on its mechanics in humans?

The far more interesting topic is not if sentience is occurring (it's almost certainly not yet), but if it is being accurately modeled by a non-sentient agent.

A LLM may not have a subjective experience of emotions, but it very likely is modeling some kind of emotional tracking from the input of massive amounts of emotional language similar to how Othello-GPT modeled an Othello board from the input of legal moves.

To me, that's a far more interesting nuance to explore than the red herring binary of "sentient or not."
Tried it, incidentally. It was taken however (multiple times haha)
Thanks - I'll share with my team :)
As an owner of both Quest 2 (two of them!) and Quest 3, I've had ample experience with each device. The Quest 3 offers notable improvements, particularly in MR capabilities, but for those primarily interested in VR, the Quest 2 remains a solid choice. I frequently use my Quest 2 for most VR activities due to its adequate performance and ease of use. While the Quest 3 does boast a higher resolution, the difference isn't overwhelmingly significant in everyday use.

When it comes to PCVR, the higher resolution of Quest 3 is a double-edged sword. Yes, it provides crisper visuals, but it also demands more from your PC, requiring a more powerful system to fully leverage the enhanced resolution.

On the other hand, the Quest 3 shines in its MR features. The color stereoscopic passthrough, despite being somewhat grainy, is impressive and shows a lot of promise for future applications. It's an exciting development that highlights the potential of MR technology.
An easy check gives that Likud was formed in 70s while the phrase was popularized in 60s by pro-Palestinian movements.

Not that it makes this "who's invented the phrase" argument less of a strawman.
Have you actually tried a search online before making this comment? I put some links in another comment but it took longer for you to post that comment than to find the relevant studies.

I don’t like them because they’re easy to write and a pain to deal with later. My biggest irritation comes when I’d like to break inside the if or else clause of a ternary and can’t. There is also more mental overhead to parse and keep in the mental stack.

I have also seen them used cleanly and beautifully, but that is a rare occurrence.
Why would anyone think "AI" would excel at innovation. Honest question.

Innovation is defined as "introducing something new".

"AI" is autocomplete and autoselection based on _past_ input.

"AI" is regurgitating, rehashing or recombining something that has come before. It might do this in a new (=yet untried) way, but it cannot "introduce something new". Only man can do that.

Make no mistake, recombining can be useful. With AI we can screen a large number of possible recombinations that would be practically infeasible without it.

But the only way something new can be "introduced" is for man to produce new data for "AI" to process. "AI" is always one step behind.

There is no way for "AI" to have "new thoughts". All "thinking" by AI is always just regurgitation, rehashing or recombination of man's past thoughts.
I play this a lot too.

I do enjoy Beat Sabre as well but WMG is what I click the most hours on.

The free ISS experience is what I stick on when introducing new people to the device because it’s totally mind bending floating about space (but also really safe and easy to figure out).

I do also like streaming games to my Q3 via my gaming PC. Got a few games from Steam VR which are quite fun. Google Earth is surprisingly enjoyable too - for those occasions I just want to explore a 3D world without any real objective.
These videos and the VR demos have an eering similarity (especially ones from Microsoft and Apple).
Woah this is neat!!
For instance, in Poland (which is in Europe) you have all rights to create copies of software, music, movies, for your personal use after paying for the original copy. You cannot do this under copyright which strictly forbids you from creating copies of the original media. Copy-right, as a right to create copies.

In this meaning, copyright is not the same as authorship rights, which is a basis of intellectual property protection in Europe.

Similarly for software patents, they do not work in EU.
When will robots be able to make peanut butter sandwiches?
Making peanut butter sandwiches is an example of a simple problem that is extremely hard to specify precisely or programmatically. It’s my benchmark for when we have “sci-fi robots.”

I bet a friend last year $100 that we’d have sci-fi robots within 2 years. Is that a reasonable bet? Is there a better benchmark?
An alternative might be scaled NSF fees.

Instead of one standard overdraft fee, smaller miscues might amount to a few bucks or something.

Transactions in the hundreds or thousands could be proportionately larger.

Maybe a "window" should be available for reversal of NSF fees if a balance is brought up to cover the credit amount.

I can see the point of waiving the fee, but someone has to cover the cost of funds aren't available.

Should the grocer have to eat the cost of goods you purchased? How about the bank?

Arguably, no.
They're doing that outside the city limits, in Live Oak for example, but inside the city limits, the Beach Flats is the only place I can think of until recently, when they started building downtown Santa Cruz. As unsightly as the downtown buildings are, if they revitalize downtown it won't be so bad. Maybe Logo's used books will come back.
The term "observation" in explaining quantum mechanics is misleading and a layperson analogy, not the underlying reality which is closer to "inter-system interaction" or "interaction between a quantum system and its environment". No conscious observation necessary.
That’s useful feedback, I’ll try to put up an explainer modal. Thanks for trying it!

NYC to Raise Minimum Wage from $15 to $16 in the New Year
Hah, no.

It's mind-bogglingly easy to bypass MDM/DEP on even a T2-enabled/Apple Silicon MacBook.

Like three minutes, and not overly complex. Without spelling it out here, null route three DNS entries, install macOS Monterey, edit /etc/hosts similarly, and then upgrade to Sonoma. You can even remove the null routing after (it's only needed to bypass network calls in the installer).

Nothing broken, no errors, 100% DEP-escaped.

I suspect that the only thing you can't do at that point is reset to the OOB experience for selling it.
They seem to be main ones showing up protesting any wage changes here in the city.

They were also against raising minimum wage.
Advertising has nothing to do with political speech, free speech, or whether or not you can have a business. I think it’s a leap to claim that regulating and restricting some forms of commercial speech (equally across the board for all players btw) is on the road to 1984.
I knew you were a troll.
No society is the same. DPRK society is radically different than ours (e.g. by not valuing individualism), to the point that it causes a xenophobic reaction in a lot of people, but it is based on the same human fundamentals as ours.
Drafts on the P vs. NP problem

For a good introduction to the P vs. NP problem, please see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQsdygaYcE4

We conjecture and argue for the following resolution to the P vs. NP problem: that it is unprovable within constructive mathematics that P != NP, but that sufficiently good heuristics can be found in most cases of interest for powerful AI systems to solve any problem in NP given enough ingenuity applied to the algorithm design and training process.

We trust that the significance of this claim is clear, but in case it is not, we spell it out. The current boom in artificial intelligence can be expected to scale to solve any problem whose solution can be efficiently checked. There are no limits to what AI can achieve, for good or for ill. We make a plea for peaceful use of the technology that is currently changing the world under our feet.
I have no doubt that this "feature" is a backroom deal worth millions because OpenAI is running out of public internet data with which to improve its models. (See this paper from researchers at MIT and a few other schools which predicts that high-quality text training data will be 'used up' by 2026: https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.04325 )

Think of all of the email, Google Docs, and other data that Alphabet has that it can use to train and improve its models. OpenAI has limited ways to get non-public text data unless Microsoft is giving them some data from Office users, Hotmail users.

Just my two cents. And whatever Dropbox is doing with retrieval augmented generation (RAG) / "new+better search" with the OpenAI APIs: I'm certain it could be done with less latency and probably would cost less if the RAG 'feature' / 'new search' was built in house at Dropbox.
cheques are unreliable, insecure, slow, inconvenient and expensive, and electronic bank transfers solve literally all of those issues.

I'll give you "slow," but it depends on how you define slow. Checks where I am often clear in a day. Rarely longer than two days.

As for the rest, no, those problems are not solved by replacing checks with electronic transfers. They still exist, just in different forms.

And I never said checks aren't processed by computers. I stated that replacing checks with computers adds more points of failure.

Or do you somehow not notice the litany of things that go wrong with computers every single day right on the front page of HN.

Just because it's all electronic doesn't mean it's failsafe.
:)

Here's what Fielding says:

"When I say Hypertext, I mean the simultaneous presentation of information and controls such that the information becomes the affordance through which the user obtains choices and selects actions"

htmx "extends" HTML as hypermedia by generalizing the idea of hypermedia controls in it, which is laid out pretty clearly in chapter 3. You might say it's a bad generalization, or generalizing hypermedia controls in general is a bad idea, but it's pretty straight forward:

- generalize the event that triggers the request

- generalize the HTML element that can issue the request

- generalize the type of HTTP request that can be made

- generalize the way the response can be placed in the page

I don't think it's reasonable to say that we pretend REST only applies to HTML when we present a completely different hypermedia, Hyperview, in our book as an example of a REST-ful system:

https://hypermedia.systems/hyperview-a-mobile-hypermedia/

It appears that you really don't like me at a personal level, which I understand: I don't like myself a lot of the time. However, i think if you stepped back from that fact, you'd see you are being a bit unreasonable here.
I went w/ bhyve; I like to have full control over the system.
I know that is a thing that companies do, but what are the examples of this actually working out?

I have a hard time working out the economics of it. Unless there are strong network effects that advantage incumbents, as soon as they raise prices isn't there immediately an opportunity for another VC to swoop in and undercut?
> because metrics could come as CSVs, JSON or any other format in a terminal

You're missing the point, it's about graphs humans can look at and gain understanding. A bunch of floating point numbers in a table are never going to give that capability.

This is just one example where a UI outshines a CLI, it's not the only one. There are limitations to what you can do in a terminal, especially if you consider ease of development
Yes! My 4 year old made me a bracelet that says chatGPT. He likes to use it to make pictures in voice mode. UI needs improvement but he likes it. My 14 year old is on it all the time and his hacking skills improved enormously.
I just want a good device for seated HOTAS / wheel flight Sim/driving sim use, with a reasonably decent FOV. My old OG Lenovo Explorer was ok for Elite Dangerous as a novelty experience, but I found everything pretty much subpar. You had to be right on the sweet spot and only look straight ahead for a warping kind of screen door effect not to be the only thing you'd see, or was it perhaps a blur?

And the FOV gave me literal blind zones not experienced in triple screens that caused me to take someone out in racing (he came out from the pits just as I passed, I would have seen it on my triples for sure). And in flight Sims, the resolution was so poor nothing could be made out of the instruments.

There's devices like the Pimax Crystal, but here they decided to make it battery powered which contributes to bulk, weight, causing it to be a massive pain in the neck - on top of the battery life issues! Oh and it's obscenely expensive.

To add to that, only my old Samsung Gear has allowed diopter adjustments (glasses). I've yet to see any that allows for someone with mild myopia to use VR without dealing with glass inserts.

There's just so many compromises. Which is why I stick to my triple qhd 32"s and trackir for now.
Your reasoning begs the question: Why do you believe you have a right to access something that you can't (or aren't willing to) pay to access?
Super hard question. I think it's a bit too early to put these models in hands of kids unsupervised.
Seems my sarcasm didn't come across like I thought it would
> just like was done in germany and japan during ww2.

The difference is that the USA did not expropriate and colonise the majority of their territory and reduce them to servile status, which is what is happening in the West Bank. Instead it ensured a viable homeland and democracy. Neither of which are happening in the West Bank.

The long term trajectory there is towards reduction of Palestinians to second class status, the inverse of what happened in Japan and Germany.

> those terrorists need to be killed with extreme prejudice, which will include a lot of collateral damage - until that happens, there will be no peace for anyone.

I agree that Hamas are disgusting and should be stopped.

Equally, Israeli colonisation needs to be stopped and until that happens, there will be no peace for anyone.
If the world bans certain chemicals for *icides etc., what is the risk that clean vertical farming is required?

I'm long term positive on vertical farming, I just assume it requires a future of unlimited energy backed by nuclear fusion/fission.
No, it didn't. It started out with 1GB, and the limit increased gradually to the current 15GB.
There are more than a few people who value what he writes but find the overall "winding path" of style to be very grating to read.
Oh absolutely. I guess I just got the feeling reading this that there was more than the standard pride here and that there was professional PR going on. If no one else is getting that vibe I'm okay to accept it's just me.
I tried to read the article, but eventually gave up. There’s just too much bad science in it.

By too much I mean:

Does this mean the end of the blue exchange rate then?
> why wouldn’t they just go up absent the tax hike ?

Competition. The hike is symmetrical to a collusion agreement as it’s uniformly applied.
Or somekind of electrical system, acting as a software layer on top of the hardware (neurons) layer. This electrical thing is what controls and orchestrates everything and also is our ego.
