What is the exact proposal here? Since the liver metabolises alcohol so quickly, and since these studies would follow a cohort over many months, you'd need to test the participants very frequently to catch moderate drinking.

I mean, sure, you can administer a breathaliser when they walk into their monthly appointment with the staff who're surveying them, but that's hardly going to detect a glass of wine they had last Saturday.
Id be terrified of a war with china. a typical dji pocket drone would be a effective miliary tool in the right hands and they don't even consider that miliary grade. I can only wonder what the "good stuff" looks like.
Today we have the technology to do both: allow free-form drawing, while also recording a presentation and the scribbled content. You don't even need a fancy smart board, just an ipad projected works.
Congrats OP on launching this, looking forward to dive further in! It's great to see people experimenting in the Reactive + Live Programming space as like you mention, I think it can bring a lot of improvements to how we build software. Did you run into any limitations adopting this model?

> A killer feature of Observable notebooks for me is that they provide the shortest possible route from having an idea to having a public URL with a tool that I can bookmark and use later

Thanks for sharing simon! I'm working on an Open Source Notion + Observable combination (https://www.typecell.org), where documents seamlessly mix with code, and can mix with an AI layer (e.g.: https://twitter.com/YousefED/status/1710210240929538447)

The code you write is pure Typescript (instead of sth custom like ObservableJS) which opens more paths to interoperability (aside from having a public URL). For example, I'm now working to make the code instantly exportable so you can mix it directly into existing codebases (or deploy on your own hosting / Vercel / whatever you prefer).
Delivery drones have a lot of extra specialized needs.

Why are people tying their UI components to libraries? Why not just build it in pure JS and ship it with the app?

We do it this way and it amazing because we can use the same design across all of our apps no matter how they are built.

If a backend team wants to whip up a simple dashboard. They have components for it.

Exactly like before AI you mean then? Except instead of OpenAI it was Disney, Universal and other large corporations on that same seat.

>to me personally it's crazy how many people think that we would be better off without any kind of copyright protection.

Why should I care that the old billionaire copyright corps are dying exactly? What would I benefit defending them for me as what they did was privatizing culture as far as I remember for their personal benefit and even had a large negative influence on tech.

The copyright system being so unequal and skewed towards multi billion companies dug its own grave by itself.

denatured:

(2) Of alcohol made undrinkable, by adding a toxin or unpalatable substance, but still useful as a fuel or solvent. Traditionally by the addition of methanol (wood alcohol) to ethanol (grain alcohol).

Who said anything about comparisons with other presidents? In general people who even seek political office should not be allowed such office.

Let’s not forget that trump is a known associate with convicted child rapists Epstein and Maxwell.

The best guy to be president is probably an average unnamed dude chillin somewhere.

I don’t have any connections with child rapists. Do you? Then already as a starting point we can be better than Trump.

There are massive improvements still possible in the engine. Like the currently in design RISE engine. And other engines as well. And if you combined the technology you can get even further. We are not close to the end on any of this. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkHKet7rp4o

There are various aero-dynamic concepts that have not yet been fully or even partially explored. Trust brace wings, blended wings or my personal favorite, Prantdl Wing. A Prantdl wing might allow you to remove the whole tail, another huge potential boost. You can even combine all these concepts potentially.

I would guess we can get 40% more efficiency just based on those things.
With the help of Microsoft Excel's robust pivot table feature, you can arrange and examine big data sets in a way that is more insightful and engaging. It's especially helpful for compiling, evaluating, and displaying spreadsheet data.
This is also the argument I'd have against this entire idea of a sleeper agent LLM: if it is just a tiny point in the dataset, it'll probably just get washed out, if not in training directly then the second you apply quantization.
What is the storage time typically? 30 GW is how many GWH? around 50-70? When i ran the numbers last time it looked like less than 200GWH won't make a visible dent in renewables' intermittency. 2TWH will be enough to massively deploy solar and replace everything with it. So about 7x the annual rate of installation is needed (assuming 3000 cycles lifetime and daily usage)

i am certainly not a very old HN user but i have not observed most of the things they said said.

aren't we told from day 1 to either grow a thick skin if you want to be online or stop posting?

i learned to be lurker for more than a decade before i joined in a public forum to put my points. That gave me some idea about the stuff happening and its not just one platform but the overall internet.

why do people feel offended? Like i understand if i am part of a minority AFK and i am making my preferences known publicly. That just means i am keeping myself open to attacks. That is just how things work. I cant keep the cake and eat it too. Either stop posting and turn a hermit and stay safe in the cocoon or face the harsh reality of anonymous forums.

again, i am not advocating violence or harassment. I am just saying this is part of the internet design that people will target you. I have done some trolling many years ago and the idea was to mess with people's heads. That gave me some insight on how trolls work and since then, i wont be trolled or harassed.

why do people take the high place of "no one should offend me or harass me". Yes dang is doing a good job and maybe it can be better, i don't know about that myself (cant really comment on it) but people should grow up.

Humans have made fun of each other since day 1. This is what humans do.

Again, i am not advocating harassment. I am just saying that we should work to reduce it but to imagine it shouldn't happen to you specifically is just wishful thinking and most importantly, people should not take hateful comments and harassment to heart. That is the job of trolls. If you get harassed, well they have just won. Don't let trolls win

Any other online store without 3rd party resellers? Over here for computer parts I use mostly use Megekko, Alternate and Azerty. For batteries it is Replacedirect. For printer supplies it is 123Inkt. I can't imagine other regions not having similar options.

As an observer of this debate, I would say you're the one completely ignoring all arguments from the other side as "divorced from reality". It seems you're the one who is avoiding reality here.
Hmm…so it’s about explaining that “dip” for low doses.

I thought that was explained a long time ago: when you have certain diseases, the first thing your doctor will do is tell you to stop drinking alcohol.

So you get more sick people in the “no alcohol” group, despite alcohol being harmful at any dosage. Confirmed by the ADH1B study that TFA dismisses as “inconclusive” without any good reason that I could see, despite there being another study coming to the same conclusion.

Not being satisfied with labeling two perfectly fine studies as “inconclusive” for no good reason, he then strengthens that to claim that the alcohol-harmful-at-any-dose hypothesis is plain “wrong”. Again without giving any reasons.

Huh?

Just a weird article.
I second the part about avoiding sugar, alcohol and caffeine.

Re: Vine reviewers (recipient of a free product): whenever I see only their reviews on a product, always 5 stars even on the most garbage chinese-made ones, I know what to avoid.

I understand your explanation, but as a user, established brands don't have to pay off reviewers at all.

I highly doubt this would work considering you train and sample over how common patterns and associations are. A unique pattern that is not dominating the dataset will just be forgotten. Sampling especially will look to reduce these unique oddball responses.

So unless we get a PoC with a trained model, the dataset used, the degree of poisoning and sampling explained, this is likely just fantasy.

I'm commenting on the title, not on the article (siblings did that).
Very, very interesting. I loved how they added a disclaimer at the beginning of the video :) — a disclaimer to try to soften the rude tone of all the rest.

Don't get me wrong: I believe each company has the right to demand office work from their employees if the leadership deems that necessary. The leaders own the risk, so it's their job to decide if they will destroy their employees' flexibility and ask them to spend 1-3 hours of commuting daily.

It's then the employee's right to look for another employer if they believe their current one is not right for them anymore. This is absolutely normal and happens daily: employees evaluate their current role, together with all the pros and cons, and make their call. Videos like that one are just a catalyst for such a process.

That's how capitalism works for both parties. And nothing better, or more efficient, has been developed yet. All the other attempts failed miserably. We decide to sell our labor in exchange for an amount of money and perks. Once we dislike the balance - we move on. By the way, the same is the situation at the other end: the employer evaluates us, and if they believe we're not suitable for them anymore, we get "the envelope."
Cool. On a side note, I think the old Jupytext extension is hugely underrated. It lets Jupyter run a .py file (with markdown notes as comment in the file, displayed as notes in the web page).

Both of these solve the most important part of this problems in iPython - horrible git interaction, horrible programming practice to discouraging writing library files, though Jupyter fixes most of the weird non-deterministic behaviour by forcing you to rerun the script every time you load it (rather than reactive techniques). State is OK for power users but it's known to be a massive pain for people who are just learning programming, and an issue in large projects or with interaction.

With this new project having reactive updates I think it's definitely going to be great for beginners, or in gnarly projects.

I wonder if it runs on pyodide (a cPython compiled to run in the browser, with matplotlib and scipy bundled).

Why do you think a ground invasion was necessary?
WWI finished without a ground invasion of Germany. Completely occupying enemy's territory was not a common way to end a war. The "normal" way was to end your enemy's capacity to fight, and then negotiate surrender. You can argue that the Japanese would refuse to surrender for a lot longer, but to think the "only way" to end their resistance was to either nuke innocent civillians (and I hope no one here thinks "there are no innocent" people, like they did at the time) or occupy the whole country on the ground seems to be ignoring basically every conflict prior and since then.
probably motors and power electronics, requisite precision as well as durability requiring more materials, or perhaps due to lack of cost saving pressure - the (whichever)government will pay, will appreciate extra reliability, and extraneous cost is just extra cash flow for the company and genuinely positive for economy too; there's no need or even tangible benefit to meeting goals at slightly south of theoretical minimum cost in the way it has to happen at microscopic scale(at home)

Does "parity" mean "equal or better in every possible way"?

Because overall, if you ignore old and new and just analyze both on their merits, I'd say we have rough parity already.
It's boring, in a sense that it always gives reasonable results and is easy to implement. It also scales well in N, D and K, and from my experience converges in just a few iterations from anything better than a pure random initialisation strategy.

IMO it is very good as a final clustering algorithm once you've already applied some more complex transformations on your data to linearise it and account for deeper knowledge of the problem. This might be a spectral space transformation (you care about connectedness), or an embedding (you care about whatever the network was trained on) or descriptor (you care about the algorithm's similarity).

But once you've applied the transform, you then have a minimalist fast scalable clustering that just does clustering and doesn't need to know anything more about the problem being solved. Very unix-y feeling.

Blackout Diffusion: Generative Diffusion Models in Discrete-State Spaces
I have a blackboard in my home office. I was quite surprised to find that a lot of them are available on e-bay and that they are quite cheap: I think, what happens is that, when schools get rid of them, teachers will sometimes take one home for their kids. Then, when the kids grow out of it, the blackboard ends up on e-bay.

So, when I moved places, I used the opportunity that I already had a moving van rented and picked one up from someone selling one who was quite nearby, paying €50 for it.

When I opened it, I realized that it had chalky deposits all over it that didn't go away with normal cleaning products. So I had to use a brush-bit for a power drill to scrub it clean.

Then I found that I only have dry walls with hollow spaces beneath that can't carry the load (it weighs maybe around 100kg), so I made a technical drawing specifying a stand and went on etsy to look for a metal-worker who could make me that stand.

All-in-all, it was just laying in a corner in my office for about a year until I finally finished the project of setting it up.

So, it ended up being a lot more hassle than I thought it would be, but now I'm quite happy that I have it.

TL;DW: Yes, CO2 levels were higher hundreds of millions of years ago, but the layout of the continents was different and the Sun had lower power output, so it worked out. If CO2 levels reached the same point now, 80% of the land surface would turn to desert and most higher forms of life would be wiped out by heat waves. Awesome! Let's aim of that then because some Shell Oil executive wants his bonus.
HackerNews is the only lightweight news site I’ve found that remotely scratches that “sane commentary” itch for me. I wish there were alternatives for more local events or even world news.

Ban pseudonyms. The big issue here is that people are publishing under pseudonyms, meaning it isn't easy to simply block all output from a specific author. If you posting poor quality AI content means potential customers _permanently_ remove you from the pool they buy from, then people will think pretty hard about it, and still put in the effort to proof read the AI stuff they're selling. AI isn't the problem, lack of effort is. If you use AI to draft a story you wrote as dot points, then go through and edit it to improve it? Awesome, im happy to read it. Derivative low effort content is not it though.

Let's fix the 'vulnerable distribution channels' issue. Otherwise, reglementing open source AI you just select who can abuse them. There are issues with channels that are too big, focused on making money, and ignoring social effects, we have too many systems build around extractive and mindless capitalism values. Let's look in the mirror and do the right things. AI and Open Source AIs are good mirrors that show the ugliness of various societal constructs.
It's a good idea.

My main issue is that if you want to build anything these days it kinda has to look at least decent. All depends on your customers and project, but generally expectations towards UI are high these days.

I'm trying something similar where I style my first prototype - but I'm only allowed to use black and white. Forces me to consider layout, but helps avoid the design rabbit-hole.
Problem how? That sounds like the opposite of a problem to me. Everyone is used to a car massively dropping in value immediately after purchase. If the battery drops right away and then that slows down a lot, you won't need a replacement for a very long time.
