A mathematician never reveals their secrets! Good thing for you I ain't a mathematician and barely finished high school!

I started out with wanting to get 76 and 84 by multiplying with 3 (because 3 is a magic number), then just adding whatever to get the number I wanted.

Yes, it's all a sham and a bamboozle. I'm sorry to let you down.
Also childless families. Without children a marriage has very little value. You can experiment as much as you like and the only risk is to what? Loose your appartment? It’s not even remotely comparable to the drama of the divorce with kids

You actually just explained what there is to be frustrated about.
IIRC we did a digital control system for an electric motor drive circuit but that was a different subject: electric machines.

Yokohama here. I was exercising at home when the biggest one hit, and I didn’t notice it. I probably would have if I had been sitting down. I found out about the earthquake and tsunami only an hour later, when I got an e-mail from my sister in New Zealand asking if I was okay.
i'd say that this is much nicer than both. there is always a better option than an abnormally long line. personally i limit my lines to 120 characters

The uarch has some interesting progeny: on one hand, it led to the RS/6000; on the other hand, it led to… the microcode interpreter for a System/370-era VAX-class computer. Interesting opposites.
There are more state-of-the-art routing protocols working to solve this problem for mesh networks. A couple examples of projects I have been involved in:

Turing completeness says this isn't true: any Turing-complete digital system can simulate any physical system, including a human brain. What Turing completeness doesn't address is efficiency - how much energy would it take an artificial neural network to simulate a human brain? If it's "approximately one nuclear reactor" then maybe this will work with some efficiency improvements. If it's "approximately one sun" then it won't work at all.

There is a very good Quanta article about this[1] detailing researchers attempt to simulate a rat cortex neuron with an ANN: it took 700 artificial neurons to simulate a single rat neuron, and that was just simulating the "voltmeter" measurements of the synapses, ignoring any genetic effects. If you included genetic effects[2] I would guess it would take several thousand artificial neurons, if not more. And that's just a rat! Even at the level of individual neurons, primates seem to be more sophisticated than other mammals, with apes more sophisticated than other primates.

So your friend is onto something: biological computers are astonishingly sophisticated compared to 21st-century transistor technology, and this probably has implications for our ability to emulate biological intelligence even on supercomputers. Think of a neural network that was trained to draw physically-sensible spiderweb patterns across a wide range of geometries. Now think about running this neural network in a computer the size of a spider. And that's ignoring the difficult real-world planning an actual spider would have to do to create a physical spiderweb.

Regarding the review process ... one thing that I find challenging and don't know a good solution to is documentation. I've received many PRs where the change itself is fine, but the PR is dragging out because the documentation is lacking, and getting the PR author to improve it sometimes takes a lot of review rounds.

What would you do to avoid this?

Sometimes the same situation comes up with tests, but it is not as common in my experience.
To add insult to injury, that 50 char maximum sneaked its way into several syntax highlighting and linting tools, so now my computer is also complaining about my commit messages.
I am not sure how you come to this conclusion. JS and the DOM are fast. Aside from arithmetic JS is just as fast as Java now and only 2-4x slower than C++. The two big limitations from a pure processing perspective are the garbage collector and massive repaints of large data on large layouts.
Does that mean that I can publish a Mickey video in New York that's illegal to watch in California for the next couple of hours?

Neat.
No change is minor enough that you don't need to explain what it does.

If the commit message is "fix indentation" then I will ignore it and skip over it while searching the commit history. If it's "minor" or "fix" then I have to open the commit and look to see what it actually is.

These "minor cookies" add up rapidly.

AI in the Workplace: ways to stay ahead in 2024
Nice thanks for sharing that. The article doesn't mention how it got its name, but Wikipedia fills that bit in, it's crescent in French, so the concept carries over.

Now if only someone could tell me the right way to eat a croissant without flakes spilling everywhere.
That's true.

That said, what can be found online does cover a lot of what offline people do and think and write, since there is a lot of stuff being brought online that wasn't produced online (books, news, ...)

Otoh, it's not clear how (or if) LLM training balances the different sources
Pretty sure the answer is no
The idea is one commit adds the test and another fixes it.
> Still, I’m surprised that no-one has beaten the now almost year old GPT-4 by now. OpenAI clearly have some substantial tricks that they haven’t shared yet.

GPT-4 is eight instances of GPT-3 in a trenchcoat, so no, it's not clear from GPT-4's age that OpenAI do "clearly" have tricks they've just not released. All technology curves are S-curves.
The website even saves the state between visits. E.g. move an icon some where, close the page, and come back. Really impressed by that.
I don't get why people find those numbers of lines meaningful. The Mistral code you linked starts with 13 import statements. If they wanted they could have packed all those 369 lines into a separate package, and imported that into a two-line source file. It wouldn't be any bit more impressive, though, and in reality the codebase would now actually be larger.
Future historians will note that this is the era in which the operating system (OS) was replaced by the browsing system (BS).

Well, he writes himself:

*The book is augmented in places to help understand its rightful place in a historical context amidst the major changes of the 1970's and 1980's as Computer Science evolved from a hardware-first / vendor-centered aproach to a software-centered approach where portable operating systems and applications written in C could run on any hardware.

This is not the ideal book to learn C programming because the 1978 edition does not reflect the modern C language. Using an obsolete book gives us an opportunity to take students back in time and understand how the C language was evolving as it laid the ground work for a future with portable applications.*

I feel the same way. This is like a combination of art, philosophy, and software engineering. It's a whole ecosystem and possibly a new platform. Really interesting to think about this.
i mean yes thats trivially true. but its just a shorthand for “this is an eminently readable codebase and its not gonna take you like a year to understand all of it”
Our customers pay us and don't want to pay for a broken experience. I respect our customers too much to ship untested code.

Heck, even if we were free, I'd expect far more users to experience bugs than report them. Why would those users and customers continue to trust the reliability of your software? Thus reducing future conversions and giving reason for churn.
it's very clear indeed, but makes the code much harder to navigate in my opinion, and makes it look more complex than it really is, particularly for absolute beginners. In python, specifically, where indents matter, these line breaks seem very confusing for those starting to learn.
WHAT DRIVING TO THE STORE WOULD BE LIKE IF OPERATING SYSTEMS RAN YOUR CAR

From http://ibgwww.colorado.edu/~lessem/psyc5112/usail/library/hu...

Taligent/Pink: You walk to the store with Ricardo Montalban, who tells you how wonderful it will be when he can fly you to the store in his Learjet.

Of course operating systems DO run our cars now. I would add

Modern cars: You pay your monthly subscription that allows you to unlock your car after it won't let you in. After entering your destination in the nav system you must sit through five minutes of store-related advertising on your dashboard before you can leave because you can't afford to upgrade to the ad-free tier. You are escorted to the store by a fleet of surveillance drones, several of which follow you around and scan everything you look at. Halfway home the car stops and makes you watch another five minutes of advertising about products related to your purchases.

There's apparently a poster of Mickcy wearing gloves in full color from the same year Steamboat Willie came out (1928).

Yes it is possible. The P2P Matrix demos worked in this way but they were alpha-quality at best, shoehorning today’s federation protocol on top of Pinecone mesh routing over Bluetooth/Wi-Fi. It still needed a lot of work to adapt the Matrix federation protocol to be properly usable in real-time without full-mesh connectivity.
I don't think the first example is a long line. Imagine opening a book, and to have to read sentences that span both pages rather than just one. It's uncomfortable for the eye and it makes it harder to keep track of the motion of finishing one line on the right, and starting the next one on the left.

Similar to how websites employ a lot of white space, imagine if instead the text went from the first pixel on the left to the last one on the right, it feels awkward.
In other words, no.

Also, if you don't sit on someone's neck, you don't have to worry about being shaken off. If you don't benefit from or justify oppression, you have nothing to fear from the uprising against it.

It's when you want to eat the cake and still have it when things get "complex", like posting walls of text that amount to "no, I don't" in context.
That sounds interesting, but still fails to capture long-range dependencies.

If I understand correctly, what you're proposing is to replace co-occurrence frequency with word2vec cosine similarity.

I suppose it may help improve overall performance, you're still just blindly predicting the next word based on the previous one like a first order Markov chain would.

For example, it won't ever fit "2 plus 2 equals 4," because right when we get to equals, we discard all the previous words.

Perhaps if we could get the embedding model to consider the full sentence and then produce a set of probability-scored next token predictions it may work, but now we've just reinvented a transformer.
Does that happen on any other sites too or just here?
Is this really in the same year? Wiki shows a black/white poster with the mouse wearing light gloves, then later in the article a color version from 1978.

I'll probably get downvotes for telling the truth, but whatever, it deserves to be said even if folks only see it for a few hours.

Our industry is still full of sexism and racism. Yes, things have gotten better. But most women in our industry can still tell you disturbing stories. We still have a long way to go.

HN is a generally going to reflect our industry. Some days are better than others here and it really depends on the topic. But it's pretty disappointing when you do come across some blatant sexism or racism and folks agree with it. PG himself is occasionally an angry privileged man moaning about the woke mob so it's no surprise not much has changed here over the decades. The owners like it this way. PG and Dang also get a lot right about how to run a site like this. Both can be true.
A bit off topic, but I have recently acquired a PCB which uses a Conexant CX92755. It is kind of supported by the Linux kernel, but I am completely unable to find a user manual / proper datasheet for this chip. If someone happens to have it stashed somewhere, I'd be super grateful as it would give me a few week ends of hacking with the board.

AI != AGI

AI is computers solving some facet of problems that humans solve. Facial recognition is AI, for example. It doesn’t imply solving all problems, or solving them as well as humans can.

I think those ratios are more telling than the observation that people are indistinguishable _after_ your interviewing filter. Especially in the context of this topic.
They are a nightmare from an UI and a security perspective. Your browser is today the main entry point for a remote exploit.
And although your monitor has pixels and a phyisical dimension, and sometimes, scalling, they are hidden from your browser apps ensuing a total mess.

"Because many modern devices operate internally on direct current (DC)"
But notably the high power consumers like electrical stove, air conditioning, washing machines etc. do not. And it's not that with DC throughout there are no conversions. Solar cells' output varies greatly, hence it needs to be DC/DC converted to a fix voltage to be of any use. The same, albeit to a much lesser extend, applies to batteries. Further, there is no one single voltage, AC or DC, which is optimal for all uses. Even for devices which receive DC voltage, e.g. laptops, there are internal DC/DC converters.

Removing the AC/DC conversion seems hardly worth the trouble. High efficiency AC/DC converters can be constructed. It's rather a question on how much one is willing to spend on such.

Sure, but said delegation abilities frequently don't exist, are locked behind a very substantial paywall, or are simply very difficult to set up. Account sharing is a fallback which bypasses all of those issues and so is commonly used, especially in shadow-IT and smaller companies which don't have the resources to invest in a solution with better security properties.
Yes, it's pretty roundabout. But interesting!

Just a reminder that Gaza faces the Mediterranean Sea too, but Israel does not allow any ship to go there. It doesn't allow them to create a port. Israel is effectively controlling what gets in and out of Gaza. Israel does surround Gaza, and for the part it doesn't "surround it" (Egypt), it has agreements with the Egyptian government on what goes in and out.
If you want to make progress and improve things, but you limit yourself only to things that have existing examples, you're absolutely guaranteeing that you can only go backwards.
I agree. We could use a different terminology to make a much better sense out of it. Perhaps the word "give" and "take".

If I am the person giving and the other person is just the one that takes, without giving back anything, then nope, I am leaving that relationship for reasons that should be obvious. Another term to call the "takers" would be "leech" or "parasite". It does not sound good now, does it?

Sure. Most artists I know live doing advertising, film art, game art. Sometimes the film / movie sucks, is actually a bad thing, or the advertising is intrusive or for a terrible product. They keep doing it.

You might know some brilliant programmers yourself who do great work while funded by an ad giant like Meta or Google. Sometimes less nice people, like the Saudi Arabian Sovereign fund, funds companies like Uber.

I struggle to think of any evil system that isn’t warped into doing some good by someone in it. That’s the complexity of it all.
