I probably had crummy teachers in some places, but my experience was that math up through linear algebra made sense and wasn’t all that bad, but that calculus was a huge bag of “if it looks kinda like this try this thing, and if the result looks kinda right it probably worked, if not try this other thing” such that I could never form a framework for it in my head. Also didn’t help when teachers in some things would say “oh this is much easier and more straightforward with calculus”, even without a prerequisite for it, and proceed to only explain concepts with calculus half or more of the class had never learned. One of these days I need to find a way to get it the right way.

Saying CCS isn’t currently successful is like saying utility grade solar wasn’t successful in the 70s. We’re on the start of an exponential curve and the tech will only get better.

I don’t understand why people think this is “used” to sell carbon neutral plans: why wouldn’t you count carbon sequestered using CCS? It’s no different to assuming batteries will get a lot cheaper: it’s not a certainty but it’s heading in the right direction.

Let’s put it this way: if we could use CCS to produce carbon neutral power from natural gas, would you reflexively oppose it? Or would you be thankful that we now have another carbon neutral power source?
What’s in it for these developers to support such an unpopular platform, where’s the money?

I don't know if this will be helpful to you specifically, or maybe just someone else who reads these comments, but I also thought for years that I was autistic, without having been formally diagnosed. Even my mother thought so when I explained it to her.

Difficulty reading social cues, sensory overwhelm, robotic affect and processing--all totally normal for me.

In my case, I later discovered that early childhood trauma's symptoms can often mimic autism, especially if the perpetrator is the type of gaslighter who denies that they meant what every nonverbal cue suggested they meant.

Even the sensory overwhelm can happen because of trauma, because if you were not safe when your neural pathways were forming, you may have learned to pay keener attention to your environment looking for threats, at the same time that your parasympathetic nervous system never developed the normal ability to down-regulate your stress responses because the threat was never really over.

There's every chance you specifically are an autistic adult who's never been diagnosed, or who just has autism-like traits. I just want to bring it up for anyone for whom it might be helpful.
> Let's not forget that Palestinians elected Hamas in 2006 in what is largely considered a fair election.

What point are you trying to make with this statement? It’s also true that there hasn’t been an election in the past 17 years. I’m unclear what you’re trying to imply about the will of the Palestinian people here.
$5M+ condos in ATX exist in the Jenga tower with 50+ floors. Even more ridiculous condos are being built in 70 Rainey that leveled a good fraction of what made it Rainey St. cool. The influx of new people has largely displaced and replaced what made ATX cool. There's still some cool bits of ATX, but I'm not telling anyone.

There are homes near Lake Travis that go for up to ~$20M, but the mean average is ~ $1.5m.

GraphQL got out just some years after BFF introduction, but even today BFF works nice while having a monolithic after that it brings a lot of hell / problems..

In distributed cases, BFF makes it a lot harder: aggregation or federation of API which are far way more complex subjects. (how to works with teams, who define data constrains, how to ensure data constrains are followed, etc.)

2023's Biggest Breakthroughs in Math [video]
Honestly I'm not so much worried about using Google Photos. However I'm worried that I now can't easily leave due to the amount of photos we have. So here's my wish: I wish there is a service that can copy my photos in Google Photos to Amazon Prime Photos or iCloud. But without consuming my bandwidth or time. So like here's $20 or $50 and you duplicate my photos between the two and let me know when it is done. Perhaps I would do that once a year so needs to be incremental obviously.

My wife's second opinion meant she got her autism diagnosis because she previously got a different diagnosis. Meanwhile her sister got ADHD diagnosis but second opinion also autism diagnosis. Their brother is as obvious on the spectrum, having the more obvious classical traits (by the T).

Our diagnosis involved heteroanamnesis, and many, many questionnaires and interviews. By a team with each being a specialist in the field on a different facet.

I cannot recommend getting tested enough. Because those who suspect likely researched into it, and are being told traits get recognized or they're facing challenges in their life. But I live in a country with a sort of working social system which (although weakened) so mandatory insurance worked. If you do not have access to that I'd sing a different tune... and in such a society it is very likely a lot of undiagnosed and stuck people are runnin' around.
Thats not fraud thats just lying. lying is legal.
I've been doing similar for about a year. My target is to learn the math needed to make 3d games, so basically algebra, geometry, calculus and linear algebra.

I started with brilliant.org, and while I liked the level of polish in the interactive lessons, I found the lesson structure to be out of sequence, often referring to things that haven't been covered yet. They didn't seem to have put as much thought into pedagogy as Math Academy as described in TFA.

So I gave up on that and instead have been shipping several kilograms of dead tree across the pacific in the form of The Art Of Problem Solving series of textbooks. They are great, the lesson structure and building up of complex ideas from first principles is outstanding. They will humble you though, as the exercises are tough. They're also quite expensive but IMHO worth it.

Math Academy does look interesting, If I was not halfway through my series I would probably take a look. But I do enjoy having reference books on hand. Many times I've jumped back to brush up on a topic that has slipped from memory.

I solve my exercises with the most low tech solution possible, but I like the freedom it gives me to try new approaches, and nothing beats the latency between idea to ink on paper.

edit: also wanted to add that I've enrolled Chat GPT4 as my tutor. Contrary to many other's experiences that I've read, I find it to generally be very good at reasoning in this level of mathematics. It's helped me many times when I've gotten stuck. And on the occasions where it bullshitted its way to an incorrect answer, I always challenge it if I don't understand, and we ultimately find out if it hallucinated something (rare, can usually be fixed by restating the problem), or I gave it the wrong input to start with (unfortunately more common than I'd like)
A better question would be what don't they enable. Something like 30+% of FDA approved drugs operate along that pathway. Besides for the boring stuff like being able to trigger cancer cells to kill themselves, we could have a molecule you inject into your eye that opens up your vision to be able to see infrared and ultraviolet light(and beyond).
I don't really think there's an analogy between radiosity simulations and drug discovery. Drug discovery will probably remain fairly ad-hoc and stochastic for some time.
They really are attempting to dilute the term "open source" until it loses all meaning. You can already see it with nearly every LLM license that claims to be open source but is nothing close to how that term is commonly understood.

While it's true that Facebook creates some valuable "true" open source projects (like React), I anticipate seeing a lot more complicated (and restrictive) open source licensing from them and other big tech for upcoming projects.
An ai persona of someone dead will be filled with guesswork, fakes, and inaccuracies, just like today's generative ai. The technology is literally guessing at the missing peices, with no ability to verify accuracy. Enjoy conversations with people while they live, because the dead don't talk explicitly.

That’s too funny. I should have known better! I didn’t mean it literally as a personal attack. This comment describes how I meant it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39050062.

I definitely appreciate that it was taken literally. I often do that unless I’ve already encountered the phrase.
A lot of the problem of this idea is that there's only a smal set of ASD people who can even engage in this kind of work. It's a big argument in the community about higher functioning austistic people speaking as if they represent all.

Personally, I think we have a lot of foundational research to do since I'm not convinced that what we call autism isn't like 3 or 4 diseases/disorders in a trench coat.

Classic knowledge distillation! I’d even argue that we won’t need 8x7b for fine-tuning here. Soon enough, phi-2 or phixtral models will be sufficiently powerful after fine tuning for these domains.
Infinite number of things are possible. This article is about Facebook and Instagram, where people make public posts, can be found by searches, and absolutely nothing is end-to-end encrypted. Law enforcement has complete and total access to every single message ever sent over those platforms, which even provide them with an API to query on essentially an honor system trusting that the warrant document LEO submits is legitimate.

It would be equally irrelevant if the Guardian instead of encryption started talking about criminals are aided by guns and explosives in this article.
If by "devirtualization" you mean inlining the virtual method and associated optimizations, that can be done with If-else (checking which vtable it is), then explicitly calling the function. Failure to find a known method can proceed to calling the function pointer.
Can anyone help me with some questions about this program? (I assume the founders will see this thread once they notice the HN hug of death)

1. How exactly is AI being used here? Is there an AI chat-bot that I can ask for help? Do you generate problem-sets with AI? Check answers with AI? Is it GPT-4?

2. Do you utilize Spaced-Repetition in any way? Have you found that to be useful?

Thank you
The triple-decker three family is great in that there are windows on four sides and stairs in front and back.

There are also double triple-deckers (six units)- the stairs are shared by two triple-deckers sharing a common wall. Most of these are side by side, but in Worcester, there are also front / back ones like this (134 Elm St.):

or with turrets:

The stairs are definitely shared in the side-by-side ones, not sure how it works in these.

So I used to rent in a 10-unit five story brick and wood building with front and back stairs, so I question a bit that the two stair requirement is such a big deal. This building had a central open area, and an old (broken) cage style elevator. Something like this:

Too late, they blew their one shot. Ain't no one who tried it when it was new and hyped and was told that they couldn't use it since they weren't using Edge setting reminders to go back occasionally and check whether Microsoft has finally pulled their head out of their ass, it just instantly ceased to exist for them.
Anecdotally, when I borrowed a friend's Tesla for the first time, I felt like I was re-learning to drive. The response to controls was entirely unlike anything I had driven before; and I had driven many different ICE vehicles on two continents. I felt rather unsafe behind the wheel of the thing.

Perhaps this is a perspective thing?

Take one state in the western US that happens to have farmed timber, PV, and turbines: Oregon. Slightly larger than the United Kingdom, 6% of the population. There's not even a tiny amount of opportunity cost being lost by farming timber.
That increases costs because now you need transmission lines down to the kite instead of only the dyneema lines for control.

Hypothetically, any privacy of any sort whatsoever aids wrongdoers. The issues are that (1) governments sometimes go la Terreur, (2) there seems to be some sort of ethnic cleansing program every century or so without necessarily any warning and (3) governments regularly go off-the-rails and bring the hammer down on random small time people doing nothing much wrong all the time.

It is baffling to me that some people can - in 3 breaths - condemn police violence, opine the the current/next US president is attempting to bring down democracy and then conclude that we just need to give government agencies control over one more aspect of life to make things better. The compartmentalising people are capable of is something to behold.

We need a system of protections in place to slow down government overreach. There are things in the world much scarier than small-scale harm to children, it is likely to come out of the government and privacy is a key plank. Besides, we all read through the Jeff Epstien thing. Enforcement of this stuff is already a bit corrupt; I expect the people responsible for this system would be abusers themselves. The most systematic of abusers are almost certainly going to be involved in these spying programs. Some authoritarians are probably good people. A lot just get off on abusing their own power against weaker people. These are not the sort of people we should want going through our mailboxes.
What about non-autistic migraine sufferers with extreme tendency towards sensory overload?

eg: smells especially fragrances, loud noises, ultra quiet noises, repetitive noises, too many people talking at once, etc?

Half of those can trigger a migraine. The other half just overwhelm me to where I feel incredible stress and need to remove myself.

But zero other autistic symptoms.
This museum also has a physical side that travels from place to place opening for a couple of months and then moving on. I saw it last summer in Washington DC where it was installed in the upper floor of a dying shopping mall, appropriately enough.

It looks how do do proofs is at university level in the US. I wonder why other countries start to teach kids how to do proofs from grade 7. They start with rigorous proofs in Euclidean geometry, the move to solid geometry, then to proofs in elementary functions, sets, number theories, and etc, then to polynomials and simple discrete maths and analytic geometry. By the time a kid graduates high school. using things like proof by induction or by contradiction is like a second nature. And no, I'm not talking about elite kids, but curriculum requirements for all the STEM students.
Very clear and concise blog! Loved reading it. I'd be very curious to see how Amazon DMS performs at scale. Scale includes either of these situations:
a) Larger dataset - 2+TB
b) Higher throughputs - WAL Spikes (at least 2-3K TPS)
c) Reliably and efficiently replicating TOAST Columns (ex: large JSONBs).
d) Advance data-types - BLOB, CLOB, HSTORE, ARRAYs etc.

In my previous role with the Azure Postgres team, we observed that Azure DMS worked pretty seamlessly in migrations that did not involve the above situations. Once either of the above came in, the replication experience was hairy. Interestingly, in my current gig at PeerDB, many use-cases we are seeing have either of the above situations. We have been doing quite a surgical optimizations to handle those situations and they keep coming! That is the beauty of Postgres, enabling a myriad of workloads, each of the unique in their own way! :)
If only people were just as serious about denouncing social media platforms. Connecting everyone has done much more harm than encrypted comms. But for some reason, only encryption falls under scrutiny.

Well, it's essentially an ad/shout-out for the mate's product, but if the value is there, the value is there. I can't afford the subscription price and don't care much for subscriptions these days anyway, but I'd love to found my own education company in the future, so wishing nothing but the best, and happy to see someone hopefully being able to make some money in the spacez even when free alternatives like Khan Academy are already established.

Edit: The original post has no value in explaining how the author is learning maths other than to say that they're using the Math Academy platform, and taking notes. Useless to anybody not interested in a $49/month subscription to a semi-open beta. I would almost characterise the title of the post as a bait and switch after further consideration.

Not really. Most people just don't know how to block them, and browsers won't block them by default because of they have a conflict of interest.
Not sure what they use for video streaming, and it might even depend on where you're watching from, but VODs are definitely on plain old S3 + Cloudfront.

one simple reason is that if you generate power at the top you need to bring it down which means you have a giant high power cable attached to the kite. presumably this makes testing more dangerous because you really don't want that cable to crash into anything.

That he claims that he killed her to protect his children. You don't make up a reason like that on the spur of the moment while involved in a crime of passion.

"His defense essentially was that he killed his wife to protect his children from her."

That he made up different stories at different times is besides the point, the point is: you can't believe a word he says either way so any defense of a crime of passion is just as baseless as this one, though this one is actually much more believable and fits the evidence available. All of it points to a very smart guy who killed his wife because he thought he could get away with it but failed at that (and not for lack of trying) and who now thinks he can present himself as 'a changed man' when really he isn't.

You must.

That list is a bunch of pilot projects and commitments AFAICT. One of the projects is burning methane from oil production to produce hydrogen to recapture carbon. That’s not really gonna save the world.

I couldn’t find much evidence in there that carbon capture is being done at scale or in a way that isn’t using energy in ways that it would be more efficient to just not do it, since it is pulling from a grid that is partially carbon powered.
