This is just incredible! I follow Michael Leavin since quite a while now and I am sure that he will earn a Nobel Price for this outstanding research! All the other things that he adresses in his Presentations and also Interviews are just mindblowing!(the one with Lex Fridman is quite in depth, but I prefer others even more)

This really has the potential to revolutionize our understanding of intelligence, mind and medicine.
He may just tell cells to grow a new heart without modifying genes. He want to have what he calls an 'anatomical compiler' which translates our "designs" to electro-magnetic cell stimuli so that they will build this.

For me this is really pointing into a worldview that is much more in line with view that the ancient mystics from all cultures throughout all the ages have been pointing towards:
Intelligence is something fundamental to existance, like space and time (maybe even more fundamental). It is all a play of intelligence, it is phenomenal and it can be tapped into. This is amazing!!!

Living in central europe I rarely see Temperatures lower than -5°C. But when it's colder than that, I just put up my ski goggles and they are great for that. Also a full face mask will be added at -8 and lower.

Without goggles at those temperatures my eyes would start hurting after around 30 minutes of cycling. Might not be healthy to get the eyes freezing either.
The IRS sends you a notice to correct your return if they find a mistake. You fill out the form and send it back. Matter solved.

Wire nuts, likely. The directions on the last box I bought say that twisting is allowed but not required. I would think the reason to twist is to improve the mechanical connection, not the electrical one.

It should make it more resilient to grabbing two wires and pulling in opposite directions. Which shouldn't happen in practice anyway, but, you know.

Regardless of how you feel about wire nuts, if you're in the US, your house is probably full of them.
> I'm not in favor of privacy just because bad actors could steal data from a company DB. I support privacy (and privacy regulations) because regular companies misbehave with that data.

I don't get that. So you want to prevent regular companies from abusing your data, but you don't mind so much about bad actors abusing it? Presumably bad actors have an incentive to hurt you, whereas regular companies have an incentive to make more profit (and hurting you is a collateral damage).

I mean, if we can't agree on the fact that having any group (governmental or not) out there have access to some IA trained on all the data of everybody is a national security risk for pretty much everybody, I don't think we can go any further in this discussion. We'll just have to agree to disagree :-).

Image Maps were huge in the 90s. You’d have your landing page or header navigation as a giant image and just define shapes around the areas you wanted to be buttons. Saved you from having to chop the image up into tables.

<input type=image> was similar but processed server side, clicking the image submits the form and reports the clicked X and y to the server. We used this at my first job a ton for maps. The MDN article actually doesn’t do this input type justice and misses their true use.

HTTP 204 was huge too, and something I still use. Early way to send a message to the server without a page refresh before AJAX. If a request responds with a 204 the browser stays on the current page. Lots of star rating systems like on Amazon and early Netflix for instance used this. Click a star, link makes the request, 204 keeps you on the current page. Sometimes you’d add a little JS to pretty the interaction up. CSS active was usually good enough.

Man why do all people working the most menial tech jobs have such an obsession suggesting some shitty "research" fad in CS as a solution centuries-old complex problems in all other science fields? It's cringe, reeks ignorance and the comparisons are flat out wrong most of the time.

It's especially worse when low-quality popular science journalism promotes this notion, like this Quanta article about the human vision system working just like transformers do.

Yep, they had that always-on-top ad banner in a separate window that you couldn't close. At some point I figured out if you start StarCraft and go online, letting it launch Juno's client instead of launching it manually, the ad banner wouldn't show up.

Graal/Truffle languages can support sandboxing and GraalJS does. So it's designed to run untrusted code.

I think in this specific case it's really hard to say. It's sort of on the borderline. But we can imagine many other closely related cases where the higher level abstraction would help.

You could potentially do something like Truffle with C++ and LLVM, but I don't think it'd be easy. The grain of the language works against you. It's interesting if V8 already has added some of the infrastructure necessary.
View source was my launchpad.

Minimizers and compilers are great, but I so miss reading through the well manicured and maintained source of a well-designed site.

I wish we could have gone with a type of compression that allowed us to keep the original source formatting for perusing production code, and ideally keep the expectation that others from around the world will be reading our code.

I imagine it had a lot to do with how quickly this thing has progressed early on. It's definitely a big part of my own origin story in this industry.

NIMBYism, which is mostly driven by:

Homeowner Greed - if fast-rising home prices are making you richer & richer, then (per the classic supply vs. demand price curve) you only want a token number of very upscale homes to be built anywhere near your house.

Municipal Finances - when local government is mostly supported by property taxes, a $4M luxury house pays 40X the taxes that a $100K starter house does, and the cost of providing municipal services is not much different between the two...guess what?

"Wrong Sort" FUD - if lots of people are scared of (or bigoted against) anyone who's poorer than them, or has darker skin, or ... well, they'll for-sure find reasons to zealously oppose anything that might attract "those sorts" to the area around their homes.
Plants are already pretty inefficient (~1-3%) at converting solar energy to stored chemical energy (glucose -> fats/carbs)

https://www.ars.usda.gov/news-events/news/research-news/2012...

However ignore the solar conversion, we put in a ratio of 3:1 i.e 3 calories of energy in for 1 calorie of energy out in plant energy (30%).

https://sustainability.emory.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/...

Add the mix of energy required for irrigation, producing industrial fertilizers, harvesting and then feeding to another inefficient organism (cows, pigs, chicken).

https://cbey.yale.edu/our-stories/disrupting-meat

Cows are 25:1 ratio (4%) calories of feed in to calories of meat out. Pigs are 1:15 (6%), and Chicken is 1:9 (11%).

So if you take the total amount of energy received from sun being converted to chemical energy in cows that is only 0.012% of solar energy output into beef.

---

The biggest breakthrough we can make as humans is to efficiently convert solar energy into chemical energy. chemical energy we can eat as food for humans that tastes great, and chemical energy we can use for homes, transport and industrial processes.

And the thing about converting solar -> chemical energy is that it is carbon negative. Plants and phytoplankton are 1% efficient, yet they convert billions of tons of C02 + solar energy into chemical energy.

https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/features/Phytoplankton

---

I'm hoping in our lifetimes we can crack artificial high efficiency photosynthesis at scale with engineered algae.

Oil is only cheap because of 10s of 1000s of years it has been compacted underground, but at our rate, we may deplete it in 100-200 years.

Engineered algae would be way cheaper and distributed than oil. Most humans live where there is sunshine and water.

Our future depends on how efficiently and cheaply we can convert solar -> chemical energy.

Adrian from the Youtube channel "Adrian's digital basement" has done several recent videos about replacing CRT TVs and CRT monitors' PCBs with new, still produced (and easy to order) chinese PCBs.

So there are still new (and cheap) parts being made.

As for the screen itself: they've been produced by the hundreds of millions and there many lying around in caves/garages/basement so it should be possible to at least find some for the foreseeable future.
A tangential request:

is there any documentation on the architecture and engineering of OpenBLAS kernels? As a non-expert, delving into the assembly code did not give me any insights on how it worked, and I would love it if there was some way to ease people like me into the deep operation of those routines. Particularly, I would love to understand the engineering against CPU specifics (caches, superscalar arch, speculative ex.) and similar low-level insights.

Thanks in advance!
As mentioned in other comments below, the whole point is that I don't want a big unwieldy tool, it should be the size of the gun-type automatic wire strippers.
Even if the subsidies that drive increasingly sophisticated models evaporate, we'll still have the existing models we can run on commodity hardware. Some of those models will be good enough for the risk-tolerant low-value applications. Low value doesn't mean no value.

I also think that machine vision for agriculture can be a little more risk tolerant than for cars (doesn't matter if your weed burner occasionally torches a stalk of corn the way that it does if your robotaxi occasionally runs over a pedestrian).

Compared to what the institutional investors are chasing, that will not have been worth it. But it'll be nonzero.

I know this is a disliked point of view, but for me the yogic point of view really gave me a mental picture in which this all makes perfect sense and which is quite consistent in itself (even though there is an unexplained axiom which is: "Intelligent-Awareness just is")

I feel that is what was termed the dreadful g-o-d word by many cultures but if we can understand this under that light, the readings of the second ever yogi that came to the west called Paramhansa Yogananda are highly recommended.
His Autobiography of a Yogi was Steve Jobs favorite book and he made everyone that attended his funeral to get a copy of it. Not that that means a whole lot, as he was by far not an embodiment of love, but I feel he had the capacity to see the brilliance in this undestanding.

Yes, really. It is not even a point of someone stealing because they are hungry, even if they did it just for the sake of stealing or some shit, it still would not be ethical to kill them because of that.

Essentially, the life of a robber is immeasurably more valuable than your amazon box, so unless they are a threat to human lives, you do not kill them to defend property. Arresting them is fine, but killing because of stealing is a nono.

Other thing would been if the robbers were armed and thus dangerous to the conductor and the like, in those cases, lethal action may be justifiable as a form of self defense.
The part I find rather unsettling is the fact that it's not clear what the flavour is. Is this vodka flavoured to taste like Old Bay? Or is it some other substance that's flavoured to taste like vodka?

It's hard to use a unicycle brake as a true panic brake. It's essentially an ejection seat if you abruptly press a brake too hard.

But they are useful as drag brakes! I run a disc brake on my mountain unicycle, and really it's to make super-steep downhill segments feasible (at least without requiring a tremendous amount of back pedal pressure). I choose a brake used for trials biking with a long throw range.

I have a rim brake on my 36" unicycle. In that case it is helpful to reduce stopping distance, in part because the crank-to-wheel ratio is bonkers, but it's still primarily used as a drag brake on long downhills.

But yeah, on a mountain/street unicycle, your feet aren't that far off the ground, and you can't really go faster than sprinting speed. The big risk is getting tangled up in a weird way on the mountain.

36" distance unicycles can go faster than sprinting speed. Bailing unexpectedly on a fast 36" results in a few galloping steps and hopefully not a trip and slide...

Fun little unicycling factoid: "UPD" stands for Unplanned Dismount, and really is what tends to happen more than actual crashes. You realize your balance envelope is blown and there's no hope of making the line you're trying to hit, so might as well just dismount gracefully while you still can.

I'm sceptical. An AI that could view the whole playing field at all time and instantly spot and call every rule infraction with 100% accuracy would pretty much ruin any game. Knowing when to ignore an insignificant rules infraction in favour of letting the game flow is part of being a good ref. Plus, as a player, trying to get away with some sneaky bullshit when the ref isn't paying attention is part of the game.

Don't worry, this has been the central question of humanity forever. It's also likely unanswerable by the scientific method.
This is a good topic for everyone to consider (especially those under 30.)

Living our lives in real time we neglect that the flow of consciousness is actually a fleeting illusion. Our true selves are what lingers within, enduring over time.

It takes time to change ourselves (and it is well worth it to consciously take the time.)

To expand upon this, it actually takes much much longer to integrate knowledge, as opposed to simply "knowing" awareness of a topic. I assert to you that it takes THREE YEARS to truly integrate an idea into the cognitive framework of the mind, and up to ten years for true mastery of an idea.

Looking forward this seems ridiculous, yet anyone who has truly mastered anything will look back and agree. "Getting it" really takes years and becoming an extension of that comprehension takes much longer.

Habits are just the start!

Congrats to Phillip and the OZ team, I know 2023 was a challenge.
Most language modes have a `foo-ts-mode` now that uses `tree-sitter` to get a perfect* AST in the absence of errors, and almost always the most reasonable one in the presence of errors. `tree-sitter` is amazing, a real feat.

It ships with 29 and it's work to find `brew` or `apt` or `nix` or anything giving you less than 29.1 these days.

Have you tried a recent version? 29.1 is dramatically more accurate on everything from syntax highlighting to indention than VSCode (IMHO, they're probably either using or working on using `tree-sitter` too, those are serious people) or JetBrains stuff (they're working on their vscode clone more than IntelliJ these days).

I only use `nvim` for commit messages and stuff the last few years, but AFAIK it has all the `tree-sitter` stuff too.

If it's the sloppy naming of `c-basic-offset-this` vs. `py-indent-that` or whatever (I don't even remember), try a good baseline distro like Doom and tweak from there.
Likewise, I think its under appreciated just how many people got their start in this industry through tinkering with things because they seemed interesting.
