For technical stuff Google works well. Questions that fit into 5 words, technical terms, are all well handled.

I don't use GPT a lot, but I have found it helpful when asking longer-form questions. I recently had some observations of the sun, that didn't gel with my mental model, and I asked ChatGPT a long form question and the answer was really helpful. On prompting for raw numbers I was directed to several Web sites and software.

Because my question involved multiple parameters (my location, time of year, time of day) the Google search wasn't helpful. The Chat one was easy.

I don't think it's a case of "one replaces the other". I think it's a case of another tool in the tool chest. I'll use both, depending on my question.

Incidentally think how useless Google is to a toddlers "why?" and how well say an audio assistant powered by Chat would handle it.
Currently you cannot customize your group in group finder without 2FA, so you cannot list a group for your friend's keystone or specify what sorts of characters you would like to join. It's quite annoying!
On a related note, is there a tool that syncs all filepaths and their hashes to a sqlite database and then also logs all changes, maybe with treesitter or something like that?
The truth is that by a literal definition of the words private equity, SpaceX does qualify. All private companies are equity that is private. But when people use the _phrase_ private equity, they're referring to people who are specifically starting with a pot of money and then shopping around for companies they think they can flip for a profit, often with the normal trappings of private equity, for example, `carry` and particular tax and business strategies (debt, etc). So because SpaceX was started by a founder with an actual mission and grown from zero, and because their goal is primarily to build rockets and not make a quick buck, most would simply call it a 'private company' to avoid confusion.

For myself i have mild kidney disease .. diagnosed at 40 with 55% kidney function out of 100 but with diet change (3 liters of water daily, only eat chicken, rice, salads, no greasy or fast foods, popcorn... things that do not have preservatives in it, avoid taking all/any medications & exercise daily) i now maintain a function of 80 to 85% out of 100.

In my experience what you put in your body matters 100%. I do miss the damaging foods i use to eat growing up but it's either contiune eating bad and meet your decline quicker or change your lifestyle to continue enjoying a 100% full life for years to come.
"pretty well" means 40-ish dB attenuation - that's about 10000 times weaker signal, absorbing 99.99% of it.

But that's not even close to sufficient for actually isolating wireless transmissions. My microwave got 35-38 dB for WiFi signals when I measured it, and that got through a fairly reliable connection. You might want 90 dB or something like that if you want to ensure that you can't extract the data from the noise - so perhaps a starting point might be to put your device in a small microwave oven and put that oven in a large microwave oven :)

>alcohol, weed, SSRIs and tiktok

Only one of these is conventionally understood to confer a net benefit in its most common use cases, and the SSRIs have been subject to extensive testing and approval processes.

I disagree with the sibling commenter that alcohol does not dramatically alter your perception of reality. He simply isn't drinking enough. Likewise it is more than possible to limit the psychedelic dose so that it does not lead to heedlessness; Shulgin noted that many users prefer what he called a "plus-two" instead of the highly disorienting "plus-three".

While the medical application of psychedelics is probably going to be subject to the same rigorous approval process that characterizes the medical application of other things, the primary benefits attributed to conventional psychedelics are not easily reconciled with the usual endpoints of contemporary medicine. People claim to have experienced improvements in moral character, reasoning about certain problems, interpersonal trust, and other behavior changes which are not considered targets of treatment by contemporary medicine. There have been a few limited studies looking at psychedelics for depression and anxiety, but the improvements are just OK, though the prospect of just taking a drug once instead of daily is certainly attractive.

Meanwhile, the non-prescription use of psychedelics has been "experimented" with in a few cases, particularly in the Netherlands, Oregon, and Florida. Unfortunately, while incidents of psychedelic-influenced misbehavior are rare in general, they seem to become more common when the availability of these drugs is decriminalized. My hypothesis is that people are more likely to be reckless when they are not afraid of getting caught. A system of licensure for users would hopefully help prevent this.
ReachMe – Influencer Monetization
Hey ya'll,

first time posting on Hacker News. Interested in getting feedback from builders on ReachMe.

I built this after trying out Cameo's influencer DM product which has no guarantee of response, and was overall clunky. Wanted to make a link-in-bio experince.

Me and my team built this in a month, so it's def an MVP but would love to know what you think.

> we're also not allergic to complexity the way we should be.

Very well put. I think the majority of why performance isn't a goal anymore can be attributed to this. So much software today is written like it's running on a supercomputer (and in comparison to computers even just 10 years ago, it is). Libraries have become crutches rather than tools.
Looks good, but from a business perspective, another dead end -What I read says TI decided to get out of the general CPU business. Probably it means they couldn't find somebody interested in buying into this ISA and chipset to sustain their investment in developing it, where they had solid business in the other specialised spaces.

Yes, heaps of registers which map into the address space means (I am guessing) simple C compiler and Unix porting, once virtual memory is there. I wonder why nobody ran with it?
Sounds like commercial usage, so probably something SUSE based?

Even in California. If you compare the Transbay tube to the Bay Bridge, you really see how the Bay Area simply could not function as currently without BART. The tube services around 27,000 people at peak hour per direction, while the bridge only services just over 14,000 people (in 9,000 cars).

Without the tube you’d need two additional 10 lane bridges to service peak demand. And that just wouldn’t be possible.

I enjoyed listening to how they described the 'bundle' that makes up higher education (and subsequently, how various of the constituent parts are being disrupted by the internet). The part about costs is also definitely spot-on. As a parent, I am very cognizant of the extreme (and rising) cost.

A self learning AI is essentially an endless R&D machine and would lead to the automation of virtually every job in every industry that relies on skilled and unskilled labor. People say it's about money, but where's the money in a society with no jobs?

It's about power. Whoever wields the most powerful version of this technology will hold more influence than government.
Yes but this misses it, autopilot being better than a drunk driver but worse than the median driver isn't enough unless they only use it when they were going to drive drunk which is kinda a political nonstarter. Otherwise the overwhelmingly sober usage of the feature makes it a net loss in driver quality weighted by miles driven.
Oh hey y'all, thanks for reading!
Oh, so you meant startup time for the runtime, JIT, etc. then. That's not exactly relevant to usage in game engines here because it is only done once.

If you want to compare startup times you should be using .NET's AOT compilation so it doesn't need to load the full runtime or do any JIT compilation. See here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/deploying/nati...
This is weirdly common on Twitter right now. Most of the ads seem to be mobile games and the actual video content never has anything to do with the game. The same game will be advertised with a huge range of random CGI videos.
We should probably stick with trains, they can be several km long and it means we don't have to build an entirely new machine with all the new technical challenges that would entail.

I don’t know, I’m asking. Have state flagships become that competitive? I got into UIUC, Perdue, and GT (all top 50) with a similar SAT and much worse GPA. But that was 22 years ago. I think GT had a 60% acceptance rate my year. But University of Maryland, which wasn’t even on my radar back then, somehow has an SAT median of 1450 now. That used to near-Ivy range back when I was applying.

> "dynamic programming" is an insanely general term

It is not. It is a specific technique to solve a number of problems having a certain structure. In the continuous case it leads to the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman partial differential equation, in the discrete case it leads to the Bellman equation discussed above. The latter, in turn, gives rise to a specific and efficient algorithm.

Code morphing has nothing to do with dynamic programming (even though it might well be programming, and might well be dynamic).

What if the ingest system wrongly feeds your blockchain with faulty records? They are saved permanently, sure, but are they correct ?

It s like saying that because you kidnapped a bitcoin millionaire and took his key, the blockchain allowing you to claim his balance means that you are indeed the rightful owner of the funds. No, you're not.
I feel chinese electric car manufacturers are well on the way to do what Japanese car manufacturers did to us and european manufacturers in the past. In my opinion many people discount China manufacturing quality because of their experiences in the past but the China manufacturing has come a long way since the 90s and 00s.

That doesn’t seem like a fair comparison.

A rail line is single use, single destination. commuter and cargo cannot mix (one goes high speed and one goes super slow) if they do mix it shuts the entire segment of the track down until it’s off that track.

Roads are multi use , multi location. It seems unfair to compare the cost based on road maintenance vs track maintenance. I would expect something to account for the sheer difference in volume each does
Show HN: GoTorch – A Go Implementation of PyTorch
I'm starting to implement a barebones version of pytorch in Go. The primary motivation is:

1. I want to better learn Pytorch and how it works so what better way than to just re-implement some of its core features.

2. I write mainly in Go and haven't come across a lot of ML support in Go

3. I'd rather have a Go ML service instead of spinning up additional infrastructure to just support a python ML service in my Go projects

4. Go's static typing, native concurrency (avoid GIL problem in python), efficient memory management, single binary deployment and more make it a better interface compared to python IMO

Knowing the Pytorch is mainly implemented in c++ and c under the covers, I'm not expecting any performance gains by porting it to Go. But still, will be interesting to see how it compares.

Check it out below and let me know your thoughts!

Remote does not mean just sitting in a room far away. It could be simply one truck with a lead driver and few automated ones following it closely. Road trains are an option. Even just two autonomous trailers to a lead truck will reduce the driver costs by 2/3rds.

Unlike autonomous cars where everyone needs to go wherever, inter city trucks have fixed well known routes with predicable volume of cargo that can be easily chained together.

For a lot of people, they replaced a 10 or 20 year old TV with a "smart" one. Then just a few years later, it didn't work properly -- apps not updated, UI slow or broken, logins failed, etc.

The TV was essentially fine, but the "smart" component had aged very poorly and made the whole thing less than satisfying.

You're talking about the great and convenient parts, but for many generations of smart tv those only last a short while.
As you said, innocent suffering in a conflict is inevitable. Is the logical axiom that international shipping which is connected to the US and Israeli economies is more innocent than Palestinian children? Is any cargo ship crew more innocent and less culpable than say, an infant?

If you want to make an argument that some groups of people are inherently evil and subhuman and must be destroyed, just go ahead and make it.
The same reason Bazel builds avoid using Cargo when building Rust software, so I'll describe why Bazel would do this:

- Bazel wants to cache remote resources, like each respective crate's source files.

- Bazel then wants to build each crate in a sandbox, and cache the build artifacts. Because bazel owns this process, instead of Cargo, it can trivially distribute those build artifacts to other developers, or in CI, etc -- instead of everyone having to build everything from scratch.

This is an established practice, and Nix wants to drive the build for the same reasons.

Pro audio “snakes over cat5” seem to be thing now. Performers will probably connect their gear to the stage box using analog cables for the foreseeable future, but the big connection to the mixer seems likely to be digital in most new installations. (Just an analog snake cable, materials alone, may be more than the complete installed cost of a digital replacement.)
> Missed the market by so much, they are pulling the A380s out of storage.

A380s are being pulled out of storage because they, like many other types of planes, were parked due to COVID and travel restrictions and are now returning to their previous service.

Genelecs and other pro-audio gear can get their signal via AES/EBU. Digital all the way through the chain up to the speaker is fantastic!
I read that part, the language of the article makes it seem like they had to actively debit everyone that was overpaid to get the money back. Underpaying them on the next pay period wouldn't require any debits to the bank accounts where the money ended up ("take it all back"). Article doesn't have really have specifics to the solution. Rather what I mean is it's not clear what "take it all back" means: is that referring to direct debits to where the money ended up in, or is that referring to adjusting what goes out in the next pay periods?
Having driven lots of different cars myself, I understand the frustration. Cars are inconsistent -- BUT! One thing the author misses is that a person typically drives one or two cars and becomes intimately familiar with their operation. The first time you open a new door handle it can be awkward/unfamiliar/surprising. You might have to look up how to open the trunk, fuel door, or charging port the first time. Perhaps how to turn on the rear window wiper, four wheel drive, cruise control, or fold down the rear seats, and other specialized features. Point is -- normal car drivers figure these things out once and it's not really an issue.
Why not road trains ? One lead driver with few of autonomous trailers ?
In a ideal world more rail roads in places it makes sense to develop and maintain dedicated track infrastructure, cheaper running costs ( fuel, tires, wear and tear etc ) justify the upfront costs.

Road trains are both intermediate solution everywhere and also can operate in routes where trains are not economical enough, even if there was a will to do it.

Copilot-Gpt4-Service – Convert GitHub Copilot to ChatGPT
For what it’s worth, I lived 50 yards from an at-grade freight track in the city, where from 10pm-7am the trains did not blow their horns, relying on the crossing protective lights and gates only, and that worked for me. Charming train horns during the day (yes they occasionally interrupted me when speaking during video meetings, but it was quaint and no big deal), peace and quiet at night. Great neighborhood, quite desirable, and I would be happy to live there again in the future.

Not sure the safety track record, but if it’s favorable, perhaps this kind of program could be expanded.
