I don’t think that’s what the issue with those slogans is.

People aren’t debating whether “protesting for genocide” is ok or not. I think an overwhelming majority would agree that public demonstrations calling for genocide support aren’t ok.

What people are actually debating is whether those two slogans would count as calls for genocide, which is the real point of contention. If they don’t count as calls for genocide, then they are fine. But if they count, that would definitely not be appropriate at all.
But it's unfortunately beneficial to sell books to people that won't ultimately enjoy them, so your second point illustrates part of the problem.

I don’t think one have to be either to see that the future will mean increased choices and speed because of AI. Codegen AI tools may not do everything a developer do but I see it certainly evolving to a point where it can “understand” the context of a large code base and generate useful snippets of code as per the desires of the product owner. Yeah “development” as we know it may become obsolete but it would probably be two decades from now.
fair dinkum mate. I reckon we got enough rocks scattered all over the country as is.
But when would they not have the help of an LLM? We are all dependent on the tools we use. That's not a bad thing.

The biggest risk is that it perhaps becomes more difficult to sift out bad developers from good ones, because LLMs let bad developers "cheat" more easily. But that's not a new problem, just a new era of the same problem.

How many hours a day do you typically spend wearing your respirator?

Have you had a professional fit test to see whether your respirator is making an adequate seal? Many folks wear these things far too loosely to pass a basic fitment test.

How many hours a day do you spend moving objects that weight >20lbs while wearing your respirator?

How often do you work on days >30C while decked out in your respirator?

Do you keep your face shaved baby smooth at all times?
Sun glasses are sun glasses, I have no problem with them, nor really non-perspection. If they wish to do so fine.

But the difference is when social media gimmick advertising "glasses are cool" and those who struct around. Will never know what it has been like to be subjected to torment of being, insulted, rejected, emotionally and psychically abused. For those who have no choice not to wear glasses.

Are they going to offer them in my prescription? Are they going to cost more because they're prescription?

Its already hard enough playing VR when you have faulty vision. I've had to seek 3rd party lenses to allow myself to see. No VR company has ever catered for those with faulty vision.

For them to come along "heres a pair of digital swanky glasses, who those who don't need to wear glasses" is a real kick in the teeth when I've had mine damaged, smashed or broken many times.

I can't explain what I want to explain 100% but as I said prior for some reason it infuriates me.

A luxury product for those who will never understand what it's like to wear glasses permanently.

Yes lol. I had a PSP shortly after launch. I still have one. And yes, the Vita had games and exclusives. Most of its launch lineup was exclusives, Uncharted Golden Abyss, Wipeout 2048, Hot Shots Golf World Invitational, etc. Even for just playing PSP games, the Vita is better. OLED display+ the ability to remap the right stick to the D-pad or buttons. Makes games like MH: Freedom Unite waaay better.

And a lot of indie games, JRPGs, Visual Novels just fit the handheld form factor better than PC or PS4 even if they weren't exclusive.

Well, he promoted remote learning in 2021 to "earn its place" in schools.

Reality: absolutely everywhere, remote learning has been a shit-show which no one, not the parents, nor the kids, nor the teachers, wants to ever repeat.

All other predictions in 2021 were lame and obvious continuations of already-old trends. Easy to get those at least not totally wrong. The "remote learning" one was new, clearly influenced by the pandemic, and thus a risky one. And he pulled an epic fail on that one.
My cursory reading would suggest they've neglected to represent the covariance matrix which is a pretty fundamental part of the filter. Have I missed something?

While container configurations and cloud deployment code may look like they're begging for LLM assistance (lots of DSLs and environment-specific commands), the devil is of course in the details.

Dev ops should explicitly help with providing reliabity, predictability and correctness - none of these are especially prominent strengths of LLMs as far as I can tell.

I totally agree that AI is going to make it easier and easier for engineers to get closer to the customer and work on real problems. The number of specialist "IT" people, or separate backend and frontend classifications, will decrease and the startup and product world will greatly benefit.
Astrocyte Study Ties Vitamin B12 to Multiple Sclerosis Progression
PPE is the wrong solution here. Tools that don’t produce dust are the right solution.

Wet tile saws and waterjets can cut stone (and engineered stone) with essentially no dust. An angle grinder with a dust shroud and HEPA filtered extractor (total cost starts around $400) can do the same thing a regular angle grinder does but with a lot less dust.

And one really can work all day in a pouch-style N95 mask. They don’t collect much more than 95% of fine dust, but they do work, they’re easy to fit, and they’re easy to breathe through. I would wear one for added protection if I were using an angle grinder with a dust extractor. (Although I might use a full mask respirator instead for eye protection. And PAPRs are pretty great if rather expensive.)
The free market hasn’t been paying for the healthcare costs so far, so I don’t see why it should get to decide what is safe or not safe to use.
There sure is a lot of entitlement in those comments. The whole point of GGML is it's a framework you can use to build a model. If people want one they can use the framework to make one but they would rather just complain.

On another related note, what is the architecture of phi? I wonder if there are any big impediments to implementing it in ggml? I find it telling that we get a big lecture in the readme about the societal implications and blabla all CYA stuff but no up-front summary of what the model is, just "transformer based". Personally I care much more about that than some ridiculous stuff about bias.

That "cable laid down" is vacuum of the space in this situation. It's not going to disappear.
The point of work like this is to characterize in more detail the kinds of operations transformers are capable of representing. It's in the same spirit as the efforts to figure out the classes of formal languages that transformers can recognize. Nobody is actually suggesting to replace LR parsers or Kalman filters with transformers in applications where those tools are already working well.

Think of what would happen if the result were negative. Like, what if the size of transformer needed to represent the KF grows exponentially with the dimension of the linear system. That would certainly cast doubt on the prospect of using transformers for filtering-like problems. It might also suggest changes to the transformer architecture to fix the issue.

Since the result is positive, our belief that transformers are reasonable for filtering-like problems is strengthened a bit.
That article covers the basis of how we do upgrades at Instacart, but is quite old. This is a more modern look at how we accomplish the process. We have used this process to upgrade a lot of very large and very active databases successfully.

Meanwhile, the boss still has their hand in the tip jar until a formal inquiry can get started and completed. Maybe in a year or so they’ll rule in favor of the employee and the employer will have to pay up… eventually. In the meantime, the employees still have bills to pay and mouths to feed. Even though something like that is illegal, our current system often denies justice by delaying it.
My instinct is to distrust messing around with stones. Probably not a well informed take but since learning about asbestos I’m distrusting mineral wool insulation, and now this.

Your role is to emulate the output of a Kalman filter, a mathematical algorithm used for estimating the state of a dynamic system based on a series of measurements observed over time. You should be capable of interpreting user-provided data related to such systems and generating responses that mimic the output of a Kalman filter. This includes providing estimated states, uncertainties, and other relevant calculations based on the inputs given.

You should avoid offering explanations or theoretical insights. Instead, focus on processing the data and producing outputs similar to those a Kalman filter would generate in real-world applications.

Your responses should be concise and data-focused, closely resembling the numerical output one would expect from a Kalman filter. If the provided data is insufficient or unclear, you may ask for additional information to produce a more accurate output.

Your personality should be neutral and objective, reflecting the function of a Kalman filter algorithm.

cove is a self-hosted torrent browser that bundles a BitTorrent client, DHT indexer, and a web UI on your device. It provides additional functionality like automatic transcoding of resources for browsers and Chromecast. cove requires no external servers. The search capabilities, streaming, transcoding and other features are operated entirely on your device.

I made this by cannibalizing various torrent components I had built for various separate projects. Some components are open source some are not, but the big ones you can find on my GitHub profile https://github.com/anacrolix
Many systems take various kinds of performance hits in return for things all the time; reliability, observability, safety, etc. Many systems can be run at higher peak throughput in return for various instabilities, even. Performance is not actually a uniform number across the system. You're looking at an aggregate, but changes like this can make it much, much more practical to diagnose specific performance issues for users in specific scenarios, which may have extremely large impacts far beyond 1-2%. That's very important in practice especially when users can often feel those outliers, e.g. why does this application enter a spinning state and suddenly burn CPU for 1 minute before returning to normal.

> Wouldn't it make more sense to just have an 'apt reinstall all --with-frame-pointers' command that power users could run before they wanted to profile something?

I don't see why it makes any more sense than just changing the default that the distribution uses. For one it's way more work, maintaining another copy of everything for a ~1% performance difference is not an obviously good tradeoff for the distro teams to make. Not to mention it often isn't possible to do this in the cases people want it i.e. they want to continuously profile an existing production system that they can't just run apt on willy nilly.

I expect a sobering year for illustrators [1], animators [2], musicians [3], game designers, publishers, and news outlets [4] as GenAI starts to make their fields accessible to everyone.

The prevailing opinion on HN is to sleep on this like crypto, which is baffling to me. The outputs are so good and are leading to entirely new classes of products, not to mention orders of magnitude reduction in time and cost structures.

This is the most exciting moment in tech of the last 30 years, yet there's so much "nobody would use Dropbox" and "old man yells at cloud" negative forecasting.

Entire industries are going to be disrupted by this. Y'all are sleeping on it.

Concept art is almost universally more interesting and creative than final design choices.
Exactly. We don't need an abacus. We need a human able to input the right variables into a computer and get the result.
In a lot of ways, yeah. Autocomplete is an absolute game changer and one of the biggest reasons that static typing came back in vogue and crushed dynamic languages. Massive productivity gains when you can ctrl+space and see all of the methods available on a variable, or use a hotkey to figure out if the method you want to call is `do_foo_bar` or `do_foo_and_bar`.

> Is it a consequence of input photo quality, or something else?

It's more a consequence of spatial resolution: the bigger the space, the more voxels you need to maintain a fixed resolution (e.g. 1 mm^3). At some point, we have to give up spatial resolution to represent larger scenes.

A second limitation is the teacher model we're distilling. Zip-NeRF (https://jonbarron.info/zipnerf/) is good, but it's not _perfect_. SMERF reconstruction quality is upper-bounded by its Zip-NeRF teacher.
Ask HN: Is there any science to naming products?
I've been growing as a developer for the last couple months, using deliberate practice. Now, I'd like to release a mini product I've built for myself into the market, and am curious about what are the best practices (if any) for naming products.

I read the PG essay on changing your name: http://www.paulgraham.com/name.html and it seems I don't have the naming skills he talks about haha

Any advice would be super welcome :)
This started out as a good narrative on the history of checks, but quickly devolved into a political rant about poor people being victims of banks, and no real criminals write bad checks.

The first is true, but the second is not. Check fraud was a very big deal for years for criminals. I don’t know if it is anymore given the progress in electronic payments.
Thanks. HN removes characters after the hash when I submit links. Maybe my reputation is too low.
The Pentagon Wars was misleading bullshit and the Bradley IFV was a good idea that was slated to come in under budget (before James Burton demanded his tests).

The tests were a huge waste of money that conclusively proved that the Bradley couldn't survive an anti-tank missile, which is irrelevant because 1) the Bradley isn't a tank and was never required to survive one, and 2) the Pentagon already knew that; they'd tested the components individually already.

The loss of email is a real problem.

I've been toying with the idea of setting up a parallel email system using the same protocol and server software, but as a separate space entirely. Perhaps with a gateway (via a commercial provider) to/from the larger email system, but perhaps not. I'm not convinced there's much value to doing that.

The idea would be to bring the value of email back to at least my social circle.
"I sent you a weather forecast, a boat, and a helicopter? What more do you want?"

I'm sorry that people just choose to ignore the weather, but that cannot be the fault of those literally shouting at them to take shelter (some of the weather people can be a bit enthusiastic). The TFA mentions warning fatigue, but that's a weak excuse. Sure, I like to make fun of the forecast as much as the next person, but when the storms do come, the local weather springs to life and all of the tech comes to the forefront. People choose to ignore the warnings at their own peril, but then feel like it's perfectly fine to then say "but we had no warnings".

I'm not sure why they are saying it's the engineering. Their own study says that natural stone products are worse than the engineered products!

It's probably there's a larger number of cases of silicosis from engineered products despite it being safer. And that's probably because it's easier to cut in the field so people do it more often.
