A bimetallic strip is intelligent?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bimetallic_strip

Thermal expansion is clearly a physical reaction; if arranged in an intelligent way, it's able to achieve some human-relevant objective... but if we're going to say that two pieces of bulk metal hooked together is intelligent, then the term "intelligence" is so broad as to be roughly meaningless.
No plane is going to remain airworthy for long without proper maintenance. Does that mean all planned should be retired immediately?
People used to do this without AI by downloading YouTube captions and using a script to cut out each timestamped word. Then you could rearrange each sample and sentence-mix it to your heart's desire. There was a semi-popular app that did this circa 2013 but I can't seem t find it today.
Pretty sure, for all you weirdos with poor senses of humor, that the folks behind this do more to preserve retro computers than most of you put together.

This was a beautiful art project that is well and humorously presented.
That's a nice theory, except most people don't turn petty thief just because billionaires exist. These thieves aren't class warfare warriors, no matter how much you wish it. They're greedy degenerates who don't care about others. Being an asshole isn't the exclusive domain of the rich.
Nitpick -- SQL was not designed to be used programmatically. Same as shell commands, it's for humans to write manually. Proper API could have way more concise, and much more efficient format to parse. And would avoid a bunch of security issues along the way, same as for shell.

Skimming your comments: You deeply detest everything related to AI, cloud, and startups.

It’s not age discrimination per-se, but it’s because you're actively dragging your heels on the technologies that companies are hiring for. You can probably find a job doing maintenance on some PHP or Rails app that hasn't been updated since Obama’s first term, but the pay is likely also going to come from that era.
Brand recognition is still a thing. Apple is doing ok for example. It's not really just an 80s boomer concept.
I can and actually did contact my European Parliament representative with my concerns. ACTA protests were very successful. These people are answerable to their constituents in the same way as in any other representative democracy.
Volkat Ertit is one of the popular sociologists arguing about it. Here is an article: https://www.al-monitor.com/originals/2015/03/turkey-is-getti...

You can also find videos of him explaining his findings in more details and he probably has books on it.

It's also a common theme among the islamist, they keep complaining that significant number of kids in islamic schools are actually not muslim(but theists or agnostic or something of this sort) and demand that "someone should do something".

However the more widespread theme is that lots of people are becoming "spiritual" instead of muslims or straight out atheists. They live secular lives, only say that they believe in Allah.

Here is an example, a very popular Turkish influencer who came out of an imam-hatip school: https://www.instagram.com/lucifermichaelson/

Does he look like an islamist to you? He is pretty much banking on the Andrew Tate and Dan Bilzerian style when drops some verses from the koran every now and then. He will say some verse from some holly text about the beauty of the women when coming out of the pool with few models in it.

It's a very widespread phenomenon these days to be "muslim" in the sense that you don't eat pork and wear a scarf or something and then live completely secular life otherwise. The traditional seculars are mocking this new affluential demographic as "süslüman", which is a word play on "süslü"(fancy, with a lot of ornaments ) and "müslüman" (muslim).
Google Deepmind is still publishing tons of non-LLM research. The difference is that these directions are being incorporated as Gcloud products faster.

I am not sure about FAIR, but they have been chatbot/LLM/ASR focusd from before this change.

OpenAI has definitely pivoted towards product. !
Most of that pivot is through new growth while still maintaining existing research products, but I wont deny there is a new level of product focus.
how sure are you that google is ranking lowest by contributions to open source projects ?
We called those "para sites"
The problem is, people who care about their privacy do not want to be tracked when they’re not using the app.

But if an institution wants to find out what devices subscribe to certain groups or pages

They could correspond the times that a pages media posts, with the times a range of devices received a notification from specific apps.

It’s that easy
No, but the next breakthrough might...

Why do so many hackers have so much difficulty seeing that the current state of public LLMs is not the pinnacle of AI technology? Nobody ever even claimed that they were.
> High saving rates must be cultural and not just a result of not having the ability to spend the money.

You can see this too in the generation that lived through the Great Depression, and some carry-over into the next one.

OTOH those who grew up in boom times tend to take on unhealthy amounts of debt (esp credit card, for weddings and vacations, and fancy cars) and have to struggle to learn to live within their means.

China has had a lot of rough times to until relatively very recently, and much of the country hasn't shared in a lot of the economic growth.
How rigid is the middle class in the US, really?

I have used every type of razor. I definitely get the smoothest shave with the least effort with the cartridge types. Safety razors are OK, I don't cut myself a lot with them, but I feel like I never get the closeness that I want.

Ultimately, electric razors are my favorite. You have to do a fair amount of work to get a close shave, but you also don't have to later up and you shove it in a charging base to clean it every day. I'm not sure it saves much money (when you replace the foils as recommended), but it is convenient and does a good enough job for me.
Other commentors are already pointing out how we went from kilometers of precision to a target of under 100m for this mission. But in practice, the team is confident it landed within 10m, which is pretty darn good.

On the context of the "perfect score", they initially gave themselves a 60 out of 100 score during their first press conference after the landing, and today a member of the audience explicitely asked them to revise that score knowing what we know now.

The speaker made the point that achieving that much of precision is just ground breaking and will completely change how we frame the "where do we land" question from now on,so giving it a perfect score is I think legit.
Sometimes it seemed to me the real reason people were interested in microservices, containers, etc. is that people want to run different applications in JDK 7, JDK 8, JDK 9, JDK 10, ... Instead of getting control of the Python they're running, data scientists can find a Python that uses Hungarian for the default charset. You don't spend the time to get in control, instead you can manage a larger system which is out of control which will waste a lot more time in the long term and maybe even before them.

It always seemed to me that you should standardize absolutely everything you can in a microservice architecture so that somebody who is working on microservice 7 can switch to microservice 35 and not have to learn a different build system, different web server, different system for loading configuration, connecting to a database and similar details. Not to say there isn't a good reason to use more than one language in some case (e.g. Python for training an ML model, Java for everything else.)
In other words: not-so-micro services, or are you arguing for the return of monolithic architectures?
I work at a major tech company and we do this.
I can't remember where I read it, but I believe one of the main reasons why Linq moved the FROM clause to the front was for better intellisense. If you start writing SELECT x in an IDE, there really is no way of providing intellisense for x.

However if you write FROM table SELECT x, the IDE can first provide intellisense for table names while you write your FROM clause. Then it can provide intellisense for the SELECT clause based on columns in the tables/views/etc you listed in your FROM. So it was basically done for better UX.
> Because extremely few people actually look at the detailed specs. You’d think more people did, but it turns out they don’t.

Well that's depressing :(

> It’s relevant for those who misguidedly have their network infrastructure set to trust all local network connections. In my experience, many people do.

For 99% of people worrying about "network infrastructure" would only be relevant at home, right? So the threat model here is some nefarious nearby actor (your tech-savvy neighbor? someone else parked nearby who hates you and knows how to do these hacks?) is trying to hack you? How often does this actually happen?
No, though this did make me realize I left Riemann out, so I would include him as well.

Then let's stop using it for the wrong purpose. Any DBMS can have two interfaces -- SQL for human interaction, and proper API for machines to talk. More secure and efficient.
It's power is not to be underestimated. Or perhaps it's just social contagion hahaha! :)
Corporate ownership rings true. Especially land marked off for future development. You'll likely need to jump a fence, but no one is watching once you're inside.

Private land I'm more concerned about simply due to firearm ownership & laws surrounding it. I'm sure many citizens would welcome respectably sharing. There's just no way to know that in advance and the downside risk feels higher than I'm willing to accept.

> DHTML, which absolutely stands for “distributed HTML” because that’s the name and this isn’t obvious bait for the no fun crowd at Hacker News…

I’m confused by this discussion…was the above quoted bit added later or something? Because as it stands, it seems pretty clear that making this very discussion happen is the punchline.
An article about the history of user interfaces that ignores the Xerox Alto? The article has the WIMP interface and graphical desktops emerging from the graphics of 8-bit home computers. The article also ignores that TUIs came from terminals like the VT100 that had cursor positioning, instead claiming that home computers were the source of moving cursors around the screen. The article goes into plenty of obscure details (e.g. where Bucky bits came from), but the history is very strange.

The whole idea of a "standard user interface" always seemed totally goofy to me.

Do hammers, bulldozers, and microscopes all use a "standard user interface"? No, they do not.

A user interface should be optimized for the tool in question, not optimized to look exactly like the interface for all other tools.

Not to mention the hubris involved with imagining that one has invented the One True User Interface at the very dawn of the technology.

While performing roughly the same task, modern hammers don't have anything like the "user interface" of a Paleolithic hammer stone. Fortunately there weren't any "Human Interface Guidelines" people around when the hammer stone was invented.
Nice. My comment was about the author saying DHTML stands for distributed HTML, which i find odd
I found a pretty good discussion in the topic here:

>I agree with this, but so few people seem to like it.

You won't see many adverts or travel programs on TV suggesting you go for a ten mile hike starting from your front door. Vast amounts of money are being spent to encourage you to get on a plane and 'explore the world'.
Yes, for sure there are places where there is no real alternative to fire.

But they are also still used in big cities and other places where essentially trying to improve their efficiency is papering over the failure to build and maintain working infrastructure (mostly electricity, but also gas pipes etc.). And it won't work.
It would be good to include a video of it working, like this one:

Since you've had no answer yet: I didn't flag or downvote this submission, but I don't think it's relevant to HN. It's also a subject fraught with controversy and easily spirals into a flame war, so I'm suspicious of the motive for posting it.
I may be mistaken, but I don’t think Apple ever stopped the CPU (a 68000 could be stopped and continue running on an interrupt, but I don’t think they ever used that)
Respectfully, and thank you for taking the time to reply, this is why I clarified I like Django and dislike Flask.

I'm not interested in writing all my sql for every operation. I will gladly take the overhead of an ORM for the convenience in centralizing query building, table definition, object mapping and (in the case of django) migration tooling. Knowing it's battle tested saves me from my own silly mistakes.

I do love sql alchemy so I can imagine enjoying something like Prisma but I suspect express is going to leave me wanting more.

I think my next project will use Go to force myself to avoid Django and pick up a nice perf boost with much better type safety than Python + MyPy.
Perhaps this?

> Also do note that there isn't really a "Kagi's algorithm", since every Kagi user will received customized results based on how the set their account.

Of course, there is a "Kagi algorithm" that takes the website's contents and ranks it according to the search. The algorithm, of course, takes into account user preferences, but there is a massive amount of commonality. Yes, that ranking algorithm probably can be games, just like Google's algorithm is gamed now with SEO spam.

However, because of the size, there is no real incentive to spend time/money gaming it, but it is misleading to suggest that there is no algorithm.
I mean pedantically, both things could be simultaneously true:

Company XYZ is the largest developer of proprietary software

Company XYZ is the largest contributor to open source

If we're talking about raw amounts, not %-of-company's-output
I'm pretty amused by the vast disparity between the soaring rhetoric of free speech types and the actual things they say / Want to say. Very very rarely do I see anyone say anything novel or challenging - mostly they just want to say something people used to say freely in the past (jews control the world, women should be making babies at home, non-whites are stupid, etc etc). Maybe we can disagree on whether it's repugnant or not, but surely we can agree that it's very very boring? For example, did anyone find James Damore's writings to be novel and challenging, or were they just glad that someone was telling women to GTFO like people used to in the 70s?

I think a lot of the anger over free speech is not that people can't freely spout their silly old views, but that people won't respect their silly old views.
This reasoning doesn't make sense. If TLS is astonishingly complex, which it is, then we absolutely want the strongest type system that can simultaneously represent its complexity and afford developer ergonomics. TLS's complexity is a good reason for types that reflect invariants, not a good reason to give up.
I don’t think the autonomous vehicle example and the radiology example are really analogous. I’ve agreed for a long time with the premise that an “almost self-driving” car isn’t much good - certainly at the consumer level the whole value proposition is that you don’t have to pay attention. But that’s a result of it being a real-time application constrained by physics. Medical diagnosis is a more deliberative process that already incorporates inputs from multiple tools.
The dish antennas I am thinking of use parabolic reflectors.
This post has awakened ancient pagan demons. Only purification by fire can save us now. Please shut down all of your Jenkins machines before it is too late.
The antenna is already coherent because it is driven by a single signal. The lightbulb isn't because individual electrons are being shaken randomly by thermal noise. The laser is coherent because it is taking advantage of stimulated emission which makes the output photons coherent with the environmental field.

(I wish I could find a better writeup of the spatial interferometer, it's actually a pretty simple concept and a simple experiment but I've never seen it explained very well, even in print, when I was studying physics.)
The greed is immeasurable and unfathomable. They could lower their cut across the board to a more reasonable 3% (single digit percentages used to be a thing on platforms before Valve moved the Overton window with Steam) and still be the top dog company in the world.

I just don't get it. The people making these decisions are insane in my eyes. Insanely rich.
Basically in this argument there is no such thing as what we call experiences or consciousness. It's an imagined concept, one that we think we have but we are merely misunderstanding.

Basically in this model, there is no present. The brain just invented the concept "I feel this" as a model of it's own inner workings, just like we invented the concept "object" to define certain aspects of physical reality that aren't 100% there.

So, basically you are imagining your experience, when in reality you are just an automaton. Same as how you imagine a robot is happy or sad when in reality it has no feelings.
Awesome. I’ve seen worse Jenkins pipelines than this.
Lather, rinse, repeat.

I'd rather see bottom up investments.

Mechanisms weigh a significant amount, long mechanisms like arms even more so. The more mass you spend on contingencies the less science you bring and the less valuable the mission is, even with a flawless touchdown.
Your hate is so strong it is manifesting in fake facts and gossip.
i agree. I think LLMs may more likely be responsible for these jobs never coming back. ie, in the past jobs would come and go with the cycle, but now some fraction (maybe 1/1, 1/2, 1/3) of them will not come back ever because they simply wont need as many people to support the next record revenue.
The poster's problem is not recognizing that SQL is not procedural. The SQL query is declarative, though some databases are more literal in turning these into query plans than others.
Yeah I really enjoy gardening but I don't actually grow anything calorie-dense in my garden. Potatoes are somewhat difficult and there's no way I could beat the store's efficiency on those.

More expensive and fragile fruits and vegetables seem efficient though. I think my efficiency on heirloom tomatoes and strawberries beats the grocery store, again going by unit cost.

this doesn't require any advanced analysis, it's simple supply and demand. offer up more shares to a market without changing demand and the price per share must go down.

think about it the other way -- why would a company ever do a stock buyback if changing the amount of issued stock didn't change the price? there's a reason buybacks are considered essentially the same as dividends.
Look at the war-chips discussed here.

STM32. That means we are talking about 40nm or older chips that Russia is stealing from us.

Yeah, we need to work better securing our border/customs. But we also can take a step back and laugh at the fact that they are stealing our low cost commodity low-tech chips.
In the Balkans we have solved this problem by driving 20+ year old cars that don't have Xenon/LED headlights.
It's really an article about CUA, the slug is a better title than the actual title.
All of this is accurate and just want to add how hard it is to appreciate how revolutionary BASIC was at the time of creation (at Dartmouth, when everything was batch oriented FORTRAN). It was probably the first _widely_ available example of interactive computing, and as we have to come to understand, instant feedback is critical for learning and a boon for productivity.

However, using line numbers for editors wasn't AFAIK unusual at the time and I think making the semantics depend on them was unfortunate. However 20/20 hindsight etc.
The concept of judging has always included some form of bias. There is no such thing as an impartial judge. AI won't change this, it will just include a different set of biases. I'd rather be judged by a human than a machine.

A bimetallic strip is only intelligent when placed in the context of a thermostat system. Similarly, your brain isn't intelligent when removed from your body and placed on a table. Brains are only intelligent when they're in conjunction with living bodies.

This is incorrect - Russia does have domestic 180mm, 90nm, and 65nm fabs. You can even buy chips made at those fabs.

Ultimately it's cheaper to import a 50cent TI DAC (or a clone from China) than go through the entire design pipeline for your own. The rational choice is to import commodity grade chips (which can't be sanctioned anyways) and leave the domestic fabs to more sensitive things like radars, EW systems, etc... That require custom silicon.
