I really detest that principle. For the design of my software I make almost every action reversible and avoid at all costs confirmation dialogs or anything that makes it seem like the user could be at fault for something if they choose incorrectly.

I also work on financial trading software so I do need to think a great deal about user error and the best principle I have found is to never create a situation where a confirmation is needed.

Among new users it creates anxiety and indecisiveness, and among experienced users they just ignore it and it's noise to them. All confirmation dialogs do is make the developer/designer punt responsibility off to the user for what is generally a bad design decision.

You're using a different definition of what ‘equal opportunity’ means than the vast majority of people then. If you don’t change what you think it means (or, if you want to be intransigent, at least what you think others mean by it) you’re just going to misunderstand people and probably cause needless conflict.

If you hear someone say ‘every American child should have the opportunity to become a doctor,’ do you really believe they’re likely to mean regardless of capability or study?
I haven't read a lot of LLM papers, but I believe this is a rather weak paper low on details (note: not the results achieved of the LLM, but the paper itself). If it had landed on my desk for a review, I probably would have sent it back just based on that.

They didn’t say everything should be 2D. You seem to be dealing in the extremes of the gamut.

The UI paradigm here is progressive. UIs that make sense in 2D can be 2D and slowly introduce 3D elements into the mix.

That provides an easy on road for app developers. They can take their iPad app and augment it.

Not everything is better with extra dimensions. A lot of data and interaction is better off reduced down in fact.

But even if theoretically everything was 2D (it’s not, but sake of argument), you would still benefit from being able to make content break out of your physical bounds. In a cramped space? You can still have giant monitors.

It’s becoming pretty common, yeah. The two things you mentioned: training particulars and dataset mixture are also basically the only competitive advantage companies have. Since the code/architecture is trivial to reproduce, anyone with enough money can make a competing model “easily”.

OpenAI started this trend and cemented it with GPT4’s “technical report” which didn’t even specify the number of parameters in the model. They’ve been historically vague about their dataset for far longer than that though.
The bolts themselves don't take the entirety of the shear forces. They provide tension and therefore friction between the mounting surfaces which is where the shear is handled. By being loose, there is no friction to handle shear and also the item can gain additional momentum (more distance to travel) during shakes and impacts which might increase the impact force above the rated strengths strength.

Consider leaning into “wiki” features fully so you don’t have to lose your name, and adding an edit button isn’t gonna be enough for most people IMO. As you can probably tell from these unusually hostile comments for HN (I think someone above even swore!), people are understandably protective of the wiki movement. It’s a bright, persistent star in a darkening internet, so seeing people use it to make money can be tough.

For example: what if instead of one document creator bot, you had an ensemble of personas that act out the motions of wiki editing - many diverse sources submitting small edits, experts reviewing edits before inclusion, etc. Basically just turning the simple 1-step citation verification you mentioned in another comment into a complex stage play of sorts, both for the sake of the bots (would probably cut down on hallucinations to follow Wikipedia procedures) and the humans (what’s the point of a verification tool that you can’t follow along with and meta-verify?). This also solves the edit problem, since humans can follow the same procedure and get the same automated reviews.

It wouldnt hurt to go open source, either! Either way cool project, Godspeed.
Because at a certain point, fines punish lower level workers rather than management. Furthermore, if the company is large enough, fining it to the extent that it collapses has material effects on the economy, which governments are incentivized to avoid. This isn't to say that there shouldn't be financial consequences for breaking the law -- of course there should. But management should also be thrown in prison when the company breaks the law, because they're in a position of responsibility (it's what they get paid for). Either they knew -- in which case they're personally liable -- or they didn't, in which case they're criminally negligent, and again, personally liable.

I don't know if it gets me "unstuck" per se, but I'll second the notion of cleaning or doing other menial, "mindless" tasks in really pretty much any situation where you struggle with mental work. Not just if stuck, but if just tired and sluggish etc. as well.

A bonus for me at least is that when I'm too mentally tired to focus effectively enough on work or mentally taxing hobbies, my mind is also far less likely to rebel against the idea of doing house work...

I’ve wondered if stuckness sometimes just means you need a break, like you’ve worn your brain to fatigue? I work pro bono doing game dev and after 3 months i just couldn’t do any work at all. About a month later I came back and could do it again. If I kept trying to work before I stopped it just felt like unbearable mental stress. Since coming back a month later it is only mild stress. How could people just work nonstop all year? I don’t understand it.

Surely it’s just like a similar process to lactic acid buildup but in the regions of the brain you’re most heavily using, right?

> If we start to have children at 90 years old

Interesting thought. So if we simply force people to reprocreate later in life, we'll select for genes that allow for that, possibly also bringing longer lifespans in general (to protect the early offspring.)

I wonder if education, and cultural protection of teenagers has already done that to some extent.

In short, the path to immortality is to hold off children longer and longer... Hypothetically.
Ask HN: Strategies to encourage students to attempt programming assignments?
Currently, I am teaching programming on weekends. With my years of industry experience, I understand the significance of hands-on coding experience. However, I am facing the challenge of motivating students to take on and complete assignments, regardless of correctness. My goal is to ensure they engage in practical coding after covering the theoretical aspects in class.

I have tried several approaches, but the results have been not that good:

1. Explaining the importance of assignments and motivating students to attempt them.

2. Ask for assignment updates regularly.

3. Introducing a reward for assignment completion; for instance, offering a gift to those who attempt all the assignments.

During my research on the topic, I came across the book "Why Don't Students Like to Go to School?" In that, the author suggests that the difficulty level of assignments should be just right—not too easy, not too hard. However, in my classes, students seem reluctant to attempt even simple problems. When I ask, they often respond with, "Sorry, I am not able to find time for it."

I would appreciate any suggestions for a more effective solution to this issue.
It's not necessarily a question of persons (and the CEO did a resigned after the Max crashes).

Depends. DDR5 provides less bandwidth than Apple's on-package DRAM precisely because it allows larger sizes and user upgradeability. Intel has produced similarly packaged CPUs since https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xeon_Phi in 2010, at least. A small amount of very fast memory is great so long as your workload fits within it. The moment it doesn't, everything goes awry. The best memory architecture is always the one which works for your workload. AMD produced a desktop part - the 7800X3D - which provides 2.5TB/s of bandwidth to 96Mb of L3. And an Epyc part with 768mb of L3 in a similar configuration across 8 chiplets.

Then there are issues of prefetching algorithms, cache eviction and concurrency strategies as well as speed and associativity, TLB size, branch prediction algorithm especially as it relates to pipeline length and flushes, decoder width and complexity and execution units available for dispatch.

There's just a lot more that goes into fast than memory bandwidth go brrrrr. Also x86 (and increasingly ARM and Risc-V) have many SKUs above those Apple offers in sleek packaging. Particularly silicon fabbed for high end desktop workstation or datacenter duty is a cut above what's available via other channels. For the cost of a Mac Pro you can easily afford an HP Z series or a whitebox from SuperMicro with dual sockets, 16 channels of DRAM, and enough PCIe lanes to make starving children cry.
I use timers aggressively for all kinds of tasks, both to nudge myself out of procrastination (I'll decide how long I want to allow, with a tacit "if I still can't make myself stop, at least make the next timer shorter"), or to overcome resistance to certain tasks by time limiting them. I find that often if I set myself a 30 minute timer for $boring_task, once I get into it I'll often then happily continue, or set another timer at least, or worst case time-limit my break from the task before getting back to it.

It's not unusual for me to have several dozens timers go off during the course of a day.
