I mostly agree with the technical concern of using the display server for ferrying data. But that's just that: a technical concern. It gives raise to android, where apps do not cooperate except to exchange ad network tracker ids.

Where we disagree is the concern that it is an app that should decide who can communicate with it. No. My desktop, my decision. This is a political concern about ownership and what it means.

It is also part of freedom of end users to macgiver their desktop as they see fit. It unlocks e.g. unexpected accessibility and workflow benefits, unforseen to the authors of the app. These experimental setups learn us better ways, after which, a professionalization and real interface can happen if enough users want it. I fear we will loose these experiments with wayland's portals.
AOT can be besten by optimizing JIT.

In this case you basically have a server a long running process that does the same code many many times.

If you're careful of memory allocations, the JVM may be able to beat this.

> I found the notion pretty shocking how deeply the rescoring affected people.

The effect of noise on your score is supposed to be around 30 points. A 10-point effect is too small to measure. How can that be "shockingly deep"?
Do some introspection. Really. You are repeatedly failing the standards you are measuring me with, literally whilst espousing those same standards.
I have only two questions:

- How is it supposed to be fun?

- Why not just stick to the most basic, simple and widely supported CSS rules?

Interesting that you include Facebook Messenger, because many seems to forget that when they talk about messaging platforms.

Especially when Americans talk about Europe "not using iMessage" it is frequently assumed that we're on WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, Viper or something like that, the sad truth is that Facebook Messenger is probably the biggest platform in many countries and in top three in the rest. That just not the platform that those most critical of iMessage wants to be on either.

Eh... academia has always been extremely political.

A hierarchical pyramid with a few tenure / dean positions at the top will do that, just as it does in corporations.

Is "Dissuading people from publishing takedowns of my paper" any different than "Switching KPIs post-hoc" after an executive's pet project failed to deliver the expected results?
I'm with you. Reading the article did not get me excited about CSS, instead just filled me with more dread.
It's not just the building of the fence, it's having to maintain it. Wolves are clever, they can figure out ways around. What's more is livestock need to graze, they can't stay in fenced enclosures at all times, nobody owns that much land. Factory farmed livestock live like that, and we rightly view it as cruel to raise animals that way.

Protecting them would likely require more proactive countermeasures, but that can also be fatal to the wolves which we don't want and will get the ranchers hit with a hefty fine.

The most realistic option is a subsidized insurance or reimbursement scheme if the wolves do take livestock. But then you have all the issues with fraud and perverse incentives to worry about.
I'm finding this thesis kind of pathetic, it doesn't seem PhD material to me.

The US is so ¬ DEI and sensitive about it that even mentioning anything DEI related gets you in a position of power at Harvard now?

Fun fact for me, I beat Harvard in an ACM north east programming competition many years ago (but got destroyed by MIT). To be fair, I don't think Harvard is known for its comp sci.
I feel like BASIC on my C64 was the last time I really, intuitively understood what my computer was doing when I was programming and executing software.

There are so many layers between me and the hardware today that I feel like I float above it, and that I just have to trust it all intrinsically.

I don't, really, and it constantly gives me this feeling of almost falling.
I think there’s a huge assumption here that more LLM will lead to AGI.

Nothing I’ve seen or learned about LLMs leads me to believe that LLMs are in fact a pathway to AGI.

LLMs trained on more data with more efficient algorithms will make for more interesting tools built with LLMs, but I don’t see this technology as a foundation for AGI.

LLMs don’t “reason” in any sense of the word that I understand and I think the ability to reason is table stakes for AGI.
As long as there's a way to export data out, why does it matter how day to day sync happens?

The e-ink market is tiny to begin with, none of the companies last very long, and none of the products are very good relative to, say, the tablet or Kindle ecosystems.

Remarkable is as close as you'll get to stable, open, and not yet bankrupt IMO. It's that, an expensive Japanese model, or a noname Chinese one. I think the UX is going to suck regardless. I had a remarkable for a week or so and then returned it, was too much of a hassle vs cloud everything on my iPad. Still use a Kobo for reading, again in the cloud. The eventuality of these companies shutting down and me losing all my books is worth the tradeoff of day to day convenience for me.

You don't have that many choices, I don't think... just find something you can tolerate and be prepared to export your data out when they go bankrupt.
That's an awesome idea, man. I wish I thought of that.

I learned about about that screen hopper project only yesterday, and it just confirmed my theory - whatever I try to do, somebody smarter than me already made, only better, smoother running and with nicer features :)

The type of comment I come to hn for. Thanks for clarifying
In the vast majority of high schools biology and chemistry aren’t remotely comparable to the college lab based classes.

High school English isn’t generally equivalent to college English. High school history isn’t equivalent etc…

General education for doctors also includes calc based physics, so you need calculus as well.

Do you think people want to go to a doctor that has a less broad education than their accountant so they can save 3% on their medical bills?

Why don’t we do an experiment? A new medical classification—MDWL (medical doctor without letters). MDWLs go directly out of high school to a 6 year med school where all the fluff has been cut out. No history, no general chemistry, biology, physics, calculus, English, art history, political science, literature, sociology, psychology, foreign language, business etc…

Then let people choose whether they want to save $10 on an office visit to go the MDWL.

Physicians salaries btw represent about 8% of medical costs. So even if we did manage to cut medical education from 8 to 6 years we’re talking maybe saving 2%. That 2% would be eaten up by rising administrative costs, and most of those the cost savings would likely be taken by private equity. Not passed on to the consumer.
The irony in that statement is both Israelis and Palistinians are semetic peoples.

Apparently JFK called in for a favor as well. That's the rumor. Maybe it's untrue, but I wouldn't be too surprised at this point in the fiasco.
Papers which get accepted with honors are not necessarily more truthful than papers which have been rejected. Yann LeCunn goes on twitter like any other grad student around NeurIPS or ICML/ICMR and bitterly complains when one of his (many) papers is rejected. Whose more likely to be correct here? Yann LeCunn (the TOP nlp scholar in our field by citations, who does claim that most emergent capabilities are real in other papers), or a NeurIPS best paper winner? My bet is on Yann.

Also, consider that some work gets a lot of positivity not for the work itself, but for the people who wrote it. Timnit Gebaru's work was effectively ignored until she got famous for her spat with jeff dean at google. Her citations have exploded as a result, and I don't think that most in the field think that the "stochastic parrot" paper was especially good, and certainly not her other papers which include significant amounts of work dedicated to claiming that LLM training is really bad for the environment (despite a single jet taking AI researchers to conferences being worse for the environment than LLM training circa that paper being written was taking). Doesn't matter that the paper was wrong, it's now highly cited because you get brownie points for citing her work in grievance studies influenced subfields of AI.
The comment you're addressing seems like an ecosystem equivalent to what economists call the "lump of labor fallacy." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lump_of_labour_fallacy

"Lump of biomass" fallacy might be a name for it.

As for the carrion bit, apparently when they returned wolves to Yellowstone, it wasn't just the invertebrates and raptors. Even the bears started putting on weight because the wolves were surplus hunters and would leave a lot of meat lying around for the bears to scavenge before winter.
Yes - the relationship between distance traveled by center and number of rotations (= distance/diameter) is a nice generalization, although the guy in the video went so fast that I didn't understand his derivation of this relationship (related to speed, etc).
Julia 1.10 Highlights
Pro jit hacker here. Super cool seeing folks build stuff like this.

Thoughts:

- great to see an SSA pipeline, but that implies that this jit is not ideal for baseline jiting. That’s fine. I guess I would explicitly call out that although it’s light, it is an optimizer.

- which reminds me - a JIT based VM is most defined by how powerful its top JIT is, not how light it is. Maybe since MIR is an optimizer, it’s meant to eventually not be light? It’s generally a bad idea to set out to build a jit, but to then aim in between baseline and full opt. This middle light jits are best built after you’ve evolved your top and bottom tiers (sorta like what happened in V8).

- jit IRs need to be given space to evolve to point directly at the user heap, which precludes any kind of reliable serialization. You can dump IR for debugging but you can’t parse IR. This MIR thing is serializable, which would make it an awesome AOT IR. But the serialization code will get in the way once folks try to implement jit based optimizations (like anything speculative). Best to kill the serialization now before it becomes a problem.

- if the first front end is C11 then you risk biasing the jit to be very C oriented. Languages that need JIts usually also need weird stuff that C doesn’t need. Super important to test a weirder language. Maybe Lua, since it’s weird but simple.

Anyway, this is cool shit. Nice to see people building jits!
It’s really incredible how YouTube shapes the zeitgeist today. Hype cycles and their “movements” should be avoided like the plague.

At the end of the day if you want to gamble, buy a lottery ticket, then at least you are being honest with yourself.

Did you have any trouble at all reading the original comment?
It's been a few years since I was as deep into this realm so I might be slightly off but;

Cancers and Tumors mostly happen as a result of some errant mutation - there are limitless causes for such things and the best diet in the world can't save you from random biological chance or solar radiation. Everything comes with a risk and 98 times out of 100 your own defences will see this mutation happen and shut it down before it gets too far

A 100% effective 'prevention' for cancer would basically be a souped-up immune system to the point that we basically never get meaningfully sick, and probably live another 30-50 years as a result (most cases of "died of old age" are more like "had 7 different minor cancers which overwhelmed the body's systems")

The pendulum has begun swinging in the other direction. Seems to follow roughly a seven year cycle.

Not being a hardware person, when I heard “Hardware Design Language” I was thinking more along the lines of Snow White[1] - the idea of an open source industrial design language would be pretty interesting, something along the lines of Material UI but for hardware.

Maybe we've been fooling each other since forever too.

However whatever we're doing seems to be different from what LLMs do, at least because of the huge difference in how we train.

It's possible that it will end up like airplanes and birds. Airplanes can bring us to the other side of the world in a day by burning a lot of fuel. Birds can get there too in a much longer time and more cheaply. They can also land on a branch of a tree. Airplanes can't and it's too risky for drones.
Thank you for your feedback. The issue you mentioned has been fixed.

Thank you for clarifying what "often" means.

Say, how can you tell which ones should get a pass?

Is there a way the less intelligent folks (like myself) could get a notification for when you decide to watch or not watch one of Veritasium's latest creations?

Do you feel more intelligent after watching that video? If so, could you share some of the techniques you used to capitalize on passive learning?
Of course, you need auditive input to study music (although interestingly medieval education would have disagreed with this). But visual depictions also help a lot with music theory. Seeing the structure of, say, a sonata's first movement visually makes it easier to understand certain aspects of it. The same is true of understanding relationships between different keys (e.g. the circle of fifths).

It's not an either/or, you need both.
I think the difference between succeeding and failing in business is the confidence to get over yourself and ask for business/payment/quid pro quo or whatever.

From some introspection, I've concluded that if I had 240k in the bank today, I would still think ten times before hiring a team of developers, rent an office, setup a company, and start spending money to make money.

I'm just diffident that way which makes me think entrepreneurs are just wired like that.
Anti-semitism has had a very clear meaning for decades which would not include discrimination against Palestinian Arabs.

Arguing that "Semite refers to both Palestinians and Israelis" and therefore anti-semitism doesn't mean what everyone understands it to mean, is pedantic at best, but mostly grossly misleading.

If we stuck to this logic we would have to eliminate Computer Science departments across the country because there's very little that's "scientific" about what CS courses teach.
Yeah, but you're responding to a straw man. The comment you are replying to didn't accuse academia of being political. It accused them of being racist.
Steps Towards a Web Without the Internet
I feel like you have a point here, but if you phrased it just 20% more carefully then a wider audience would be willing to hear it.

Also worth pointing out -- Yes many companies do include a huge number of "non-white" people when you count all the foreign people they hire, but a lot of times this isn't because we've reached a post-racist / post-cultural-preference state, but just because of the economics of many of these other countries being super cheap to hire in.

Perhaps a more reasonable goal would be to hire proportionally within US at rates roughly aligning to CS degrees by demographic. Then for overseas hires I'd like to see data on casts etc be factored in.

I think the methylated pseudouridine is actually a tRNA component. Could be wrong. I’m not sure what the 3D structure of the vaccine mRNA is, but it could depart quite a bit from the high-school-biology linear strand portrayal of mRNA.

I thought manipulating this was a design goal.

Regardless, I somewhat doubt the simple story presented to the public is 100% accurate.
I think the more interesting question is how long will people cling to the illusion that LLMs will lead us to AGI?

Maintaining the illusion is important to keep the money flowing in.

It's a private club completely separate from the rest of the world, while still residing in it. I don't think they care if any of that stuff is really true, its all about the dynamics of being part of a controversy but going back to the safety of the group. What baffles me is why famous people would join. It's a stretch but I can only guess it's to be part of an exclusive social club they get to control, without the risk of morally alienating their fan base ("$FamousGuy says he's Christian but then did $badThing").
Why do you think humans are basically evolved LLMs? Honest question, would love to read more about this viewpoint.

> emulate this voting scheme with 3x microcontrollers with a 4th to tally votes will not make the system any more reliable

I think that's clear enough; the vote-tallier becomes a SPOF. I'm not sure how Tandem and Stratus handled discrepancies between their (twin) processors. Stratus used a pair of OTC 68K processors, which doesn't seem to mean voting; I can't see how you'd resolve a disagreement between just two voters.

I can't see how you make a voting-based "reliable" processor from OTC CPU chips; I imagine it would require each CPU to observe the outputs of the other two, and tell itself to stop voting if it loses a ballot. Which sounds to me like custom CPU hardware.

Any external hardware for comparing votes, telling a CPU to stop voting, and routing the vote-winning output, amounts to a vote-tallier, which is a SPOF. You could have three vote-talliers, checking up on one-another; but then you'd need a vote-tallier-tallier. It's turtles from then on down.

In general, having multiple CPUs voting as a way of improving reliability seems fraught, because it increases complexity, which reduces reliability.

Maybe making reliable processors amounts to just making processors that you can rely on.
When a human makes a mistake it is a "cognitive 0-day" but when an LLM does something correctly it is "illusory"?
