I looked at some of the Hungarian translations and some are way off or even unrelated to the English version. I would have thought a year or two ago that this is simply a database lookup / array indexing problem, or is this something that qualifies as an LLM hallucinating? The former issue could be confidently resolved in a matter of hours, the latter makes me completely distrust the whole project.

I do like the UX tho, and find it a good idea that you created a HN-related landing page. Seems like a good amount of work went into this, congrats!
> I always tell people having two kids is ten times harder than having one.

My own experience is that having two kids is harder when they're young and easier when they're older.

I have friends with just one kid and it's definitely easier to have enough capacity for the kid when the kid is a baby or toddler and needs a ton of attention. Having two toddlers is exhausting.

But when the kids get older and more responsible, they can take much of their attention, socialization, and play needs from their sibling. When I've gone on vacation with friends that have just one kid, they are essentially their kids' playmate the entire trip because otherwise the poor kid is totally alone.

When I travel with my two kids, I do stuff with them, of course, but they also spend a lot of time doing stuff just the two of them.

Especially in today's Western culture where kids don't have as much autonomy out of the home to play with other kids, I think siblings are a huge help for kids getting as much peer interaction as they need. Though, of course, I support anyone who chooses to only have one kid for whatever reason.
The complement being the metaverse. You can’t handcraft the metaverse because it would be infeasible. If LLMs are a commodity that everyone has access to, then it can be done on the cheap.

Put another way - if OpenAI were the only game in town how much would they be charging for their product? They’re competing on price because competitors exist. Now imagine the price if a hypothetical high quality open source model existed that can customers can use for “free”.

That’s the future Meta wants. They weren’t getting rich selling shovels like cloud providers are, they want everyone digging. And everyone digs when the shovels are free.

China has the worlds largest high speed rail network. Europe is full of (lower quality, but still good) rail, mostly built during the time of centralized monarchies.

The US barely has any passenger rail because that would need large scale centralized planning.

Small, individual property owners can only make small, individual changes. It optimizes for local maxima. To get past those, you need centralized planning.

The interesting thing about this is that it doesn't appear to involve TIGHAR at all.

TIGHAR, for those unfamiliar, are the people who pop up every few years with tantalizing new evidence that certainly will prove once and for all some novel theory about Earhart's disappearance and raises a couple of million dollars to mount an expedition which of course reveals nothing but some tantalizing new evidence that requires a new expensive expedition to investigate.

So, there might be something to this.

Time for Apple, Google, and Meta to take a stand against this madness by threatening to withdraw their services from the UK. If the UK government manages to get its way then there will be a long queue of other nations looking to bring in similar laws. Security and privacy on the net would then become lowest common denominator, criminality would be unimpeded, and internet-based economic activity would be massively impacted by lack of trust.

This is idiotic, they will find a way to watch and be on social media regardless. Also, I don’t see how social media is bad but MSM that brainwashed generations is any good, are they going to enforce the same rules on other forms of media? Or is it because “we can’t censor XY social media” so we are gonna ban them all?

Yes. Most LLM-driven tools shouldn't need the user to engineer a prompt so they can function well. GitHub Co-pilot should work without you having to prompt the LLM in your code.

If it were that easy to detect a scam call and redirect it to a robot then we could just block the scam calls in the first place.
This isn't quite correct as I understand the situation. It wasn't classified as a computer in Europe because it could run Linux but, because the bundled demo disc included Yabasic (a basic interpreter) in the European regions.[0]

Unfortunately my main use case is CUDA, haha. I’ve got hope that long term ROCm can catch up.
But JSX? Once template literals showed up, I have no idea why JSX didn’t die out immediately.

Generating code with template literals is how you get SQL injection attacks. You can't tell until runtime whether the code you're writing is valid or not.

When you write JSX you get support from your IDE: managing close tags, clearing up indentation, autosuggest for tag attributes, etc.

I get that it's annoyingly heavyweight to have to put a transpiler in between your code and the execution environment. But the larger your project gets, the more likely you'll want something (typescript, packaging, etc.) that shifts some of the burden onto the compiler.

Sure, you can do without, just like you can write code without an IDE. But I think I'm more productive.
A Studio Mac with an M1 Ultra (about 2800 USD used) is actually a really cost effective way to run in. Its total system power consumption is really low, even spitting out tokens at full tilt (<250W).
> For one, science and Christianity are not the enemies many on the Left seem to believe.

Christianity isn't a monolith, so it depends on which flavor of Christianity we're talking about. If we're talking about fundamentalists that interpret the Bible literally (this is a large and politically influential group in the US), then yes, science and those beliefs are incompatible.
What is SOTA for model-available vision systems? If there's a camera, can it track objects so it can tell me where I put my keys in the room without having to put an $30 airtag on them?
I have mixed feelings. I want more housing, and it looks like a good location for a city. On the other hand, if you're going to destroy a more natural environment, you had better replace it with something really spectacularly good, and American development post-1920 has shown itself to be entirely incapable of that. My expectation is that, at absolute best, this is going to end up like one of those semi-mixed-use luxury mall developments that people drive to, if it happens. Which would be a net loss.
To be fair, TypeScript is a bit different because you can use it to compile to JavaScript rather than merely annotating in JavaScript files, which is crucial because it means that compilation can _fail_ to produce JavaScript. If I recall correctly, you can still have it produce JavaScript even if the type checking fails, but the fact that you can't just directly run the TypeScript makes a difference. With the Python type annotations, you can still just run the code directly without _ever_ compiling, let alone if type checking fails.

> If you really want a hard type system, just move to GO or Rust or C or something with a real type system enforced.

For what it's worth, Rust also has no types at runtime, which is why Rust doesn't have reflection and relies heavily on compile-time magic with macros. The difference is that there's no way to get a binary to run if the code doesn't typecheck. The most underrated feature of a compiler is that it can say "no"; in the case of Rust, the killer feature of the language isn't what you're allowed to do, but what you're _not_ allowed to do, even accidentally.
Yes, that's preferable when it's an option - unfortunately, that's not always possible, especially when life intervenes. Wouldn't you still want a way to share a space with your partner and watch a movie with them?
Another way to look at it is the card holders are paying the normal price and those who opt-out are being charged an £80 punishment fee for refusing to be tracked.
I don't think people really understand what happened. Consumer protection laws allow people to choose whether they consent to being tracked, but then this mutated into a system that effectively means you pay an extra fee to opt-out of tracking.
A hypothetical Datacenter version might have skipped the optical drive, perhaps cutting down on their losses. At launch I doubt they would have had enough spare processors to build them without cutting into their PS3 production capacity.

Additionally many game studios reported difficulty in writing for the PS3's processor compared to the Xbox, which had gone with a processor pretty similar to most PCs at the time. So by the time they had ramped up the capacity to make enough to meet PS3 demand, there were several years of worse/less performant PS3 versions of games developed for multiple platforms, making Sony's console look worse. It would have been a tough sell internally for the PS4 to use a custom processor architecture again, so they opted not to. This must have soured Sony's opinion of the Cell processor overall.
Yeah pocket is such a useless tool.

I love a lot of their stuff like the containers and local translation but pocket is just spam.
>Russia also made such demands to southern neighbours of Finland: Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. When they complied . . .

When do you believe the Baltics states were given such a choice by Russia? I thought that every time they ended up under Russian control they were either invaded without warning or ended up in Russia as a result of Russia's winning wars against Sweden and the Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth (where before the war they were the property of Russia's opponent).

Are there any isolated parts of the system that you can work on outside of the fully-built system? Maybe there's some refactoring that needs to be done, where you can do some of the work in isolation and then stage it for the next build?

Also, since nobody's mentioning it, are you in a position to research/ prototype an alternative approach that doesn't take so long to build?
LinkedIn Has Become a Pile of Garbage (even more than usual)
I understand calling him pompous, or an ass, and he had that period where he basically was a part of gamergate for a minute (maybe he still believes those kinds of things, I'm not in his head). He definitely will take a "debunking" that should take two minutes of math, and spends 20 minutes basically reveling in "just how wrong" the supposed Bad Man is.

But when has he been wrong, in a way that would cause you to call his credibility "dubious"? When has he called out an Infinite energy machine, or a "pull water out of the air in a desert" machine, or an Elon project, and been wrong?

> Mastbaum’s stories didn’t raise any red flags, he said; details were spot-checked by editors, and notes were provided whenever they had questions. They didn’t suspect anything was amiss until a reader reached out to them. Once they realized there were problems with the story, he explained, they did a complete review of all of Mastbaum’s work, reaching out to every single source and documenting the inconsistencies in an editor’s note.

In addition to the fraudulent author, editors are (or were, or should be) accountable for lies getting into print. Especially when a writer under their purview lies over and over. Especially if you don't immediately pull all of that author's stories after even one of them is deemed fundamentally fraudulent. And I'm not sure how 'spot-checking' is meant to be used here, given that you could apparently catch quite a few of the lies in the articles with a Google search. What were they doing as editors?

When we talk about the dwindling quality of journalism, or the dearth of trust in journalism, to me it always goes back to editors and fact-checkers. More precisely, the lack of them. It doesn't matter why they aren't doing their job, whether it's lack of money, time, or lack of skilled practicioners. Editors are really important, as it turns out.

A 70B model is quite accessible; just rent a data center GPU hourly. There are easy deployment services that are getting better all the time. Smaller models can be derived from the big ones to run on a MacBook running Apple Silicon. While the compute won’t be a match for Nvidia hardware, a MacBook can pack 128GB of RAM and run enormous models - albeit slowly.

Malazan is great. It burnt me out a bit because it's often difficult reading, so I'm struggling to get up the energy to finish the last two books, but damn is it good. For anyone seeing this who might read it, don't let the fact that it's based off a tabletop campaign scare you off, I honestly couldn't tell whatsoever. It really doesn't feel like your standard tabletop role-playing game campaign at all, it feels like something very unique and different and it has an incredible amount of artistic merit. In fact, if you like the kind of books where there's always some deeper secret to be unveiled that entirely recontextualizes all of the previous World building in some flash of horrifying revelation, definitely check the series out, because that kind of thing happens a lot. Also, if you want a fantasy series that has a very active Pantheon of gods that feel like real old school mythology, not even the sort of Bowdlerized Percy Jackson version, also check it out. It also does an incredible job doing very interesting and unique things with its fantasy races and cultures. The Jaghut are my favorite.

Rickover is an intriguing figure to read about in general. I've heard different versions of his "rules", one set located here:

https://www.linkedin.com/posts/kelly-robinson-phd-92842b6_ri...

Another I'll include at the bottom of this post.

I also just wanted to highlight two things. Not only did he create a highly safety conscious organization but an incredibly technologically innovative one that was born despite huge resistance from the US Navy. Think about trying not only to build a small nuclear reactor, something that had never been done before, but one that could be put on a submarine. Not an easy technical goal. And on top of that, aiming to complete this task in the face of resistance from the highest levels of the organization he made his life, including efforts to get rid of him entirely. He wasn't perfect but what he achieved quite alot. Definitely worth reading more up on particularly if you work more in the mechanical engineering world.

Second set of Rickover Rules:

Rule 1: You must have a rising standard of quality over time, and well beyond what is required by any minimum standard.

Rule 2: People running complex systems should be highly capable.

Rule 3: Supervisors have to face bad news when it comes and take problems to a level high enough to fix those problems.

Rule 4: You must have a healthy respect for the dangers and risks of your particular job.

Rule 5: Training must be constant and rigorous.

Rule 6: All the functions of repair, quality control, and technical support must fit together.

Rule 7: The organization and members thereof must have the ability and willingness to learn from mistakes of the past.
"People like it" is an underrated consideration. All programming languages are, at core, equivalent. The situation with frameworks is similar.

As a designer you're looking for an abstraction that helps people feel like they understand what's going on. They can express themselves concisely and clearly. It's a human problem, not a technical problem, and your metric largely comes down to "people like it".
That's what I thought, not even WW2 specifically, but (and I'm no expert) the image supposedly showing 'the distinctive shape of the fuselage, tail, and wings' is not that compelling? To paraphrase Jaws: it certainly looks like an aircraft, but not the aircraft.

It could be! Wings broken off/up a bit. But is it that likely? It could also be some other aircraft. Seems a bit sensationalist until they go back for a better look.
