Wouldn't it be easier to just include in the prompt (please browse web). This seems to work fine with regular ChatGPT.
The answer to that question depends on where "the mindshare" is, and unfortunately we're living in a future where many seem to believe the former is easy and the latter impossible.
The book sounds fun, the review gets tedious at the end, whining about faux populism (as opposed to vrai populism?), blaming art collectors -- if only there was some way to make sure to only sell art to the right people.

It sounds like the author had fun reading the book, started writing a fun review, but then it dawned on him that the book questioned a bit more of the art world then he was comfortable with, so he found a scapegoat in collectors.
I mean surely that's solvable in a similar way that it was for websites, ie SSL+certs registered to domain x. Can the OS (Android, iOS) not have a provision to show who any app is really from in the same way that I can see right now that: "Y Combinator Management, LLC. issued by Digicert"?

Unfortunately it's not really perfect solution for the web either as plenty of people still get scammed by fake urls + not bothering to check who the cert is for/from...
Yes! Can't believe I forgot. He was an interesting guy - a biologist who was deported to Mexico after living in the US since childhood without citizenship, and then tried working in a lab in Mexico, but the pay was so bad he learned to code and eventually became a TVC.

Citation numbers doesn't provide any useful information for a serious researcher. It's all a game for administrators.
With the US re-industrialising, semi-conductors are a strategic priority so Intel will be at the heart of the process. They're going to be a major beneficiary of the process, here and in Europe. They'll be a significant player.

They got lazy and sat on their laurels when AMD was struggling and they didnt view ARM as a threat. TSMC was a probably a joke to them...until everyone brought out killer products and Intel had no response to them. They could have been way ahead of the pack by now but they decided to harvest the market instead of innovating aggresively. Right now they're worth less than $200bn, which is less than half of Broadcom or TSMC, its 30% less than AMD and 10% of Nvidia. Is it intrisically worth that little? Probably not, I think its a buy at this price.
These are different scenarios, clinical trials are experiments not just genetic information gathering.

I think this is somewhat helped that a lot of bureaucracy is split between federal and states. States aren't perfect by any means, and sometimes introduce extra steps if both state and federal are involved, but they also seem less inclined generally to have to consider a whole nation of people and are happy to have you fill out one form that hasn't changed much for 40 years and ... that's it.

It's certainly an interesting phenomenon how simple some things can be.
No doubt about it.

I think that's great. I think societies are better served by a lot of passionate defenders of rights who don't quite get it right than by well-educated, apathetic lawyers who watch their actual rights get trampled.
I don't have a particularly strong stance on RTO, but I can't help but call it how much less rigorous HN is when talking about this issue than, say, anything that doesn't affect them.

The putative ways in which poorly organized remote/hybrid work are supposed to affect a company -- culture, creativity, and the other things that come out of personal interaction and long-term proximity -- are things that operate on a multi-year timescale. No half-ass study on a few short term productivity metrics, looking at an RTO process that barely spans one year, are going to surface that. OTOH it's likely to be obvious to people actually in the environment long before it has a measurable impact on any kind of balance sheet
It seems like the author has run out of topics to write.

An industry has emerged, abetted by many years of very low interest rates. This industry buys residences and rents them out - it is called 'rent seeking'
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rent-seeking
I masquerades as a real business, but it is essentially a parasitic entity. It maintains a large stock of vacant places that it rent short term = AirBNB etc.
It is the root cause of the housing shortage and the rent increases.
Some cities tax them as hotels - where they are found - they operate stealthily.
What is needed is a specific added tax to offset their spread to new dwelling as well as shrink those in place to force their sale to people to live in them, some city/state/fed action would help.
Thanks, does OVH send these invoices or do you need to log in?
Unlike many issues with dates, this one is purely a result of a wrong API design. It does not make sense to "set a component" of a date all by itself (unlike hours/minutes/seconds in a day), so an API that allows you to so is plain broken.

Correct API would be to set the components D,M,Y all at once and have them validated on the spot before returning a valid Date value.

It's worse than helping users feel like they can decide later. Much worst IMO.

As a life long android user, I recently purchased an iPad to see if I could stomach IOS because I'm really sick of Android's shit.

In going though the initial setup, I elected not to set up face unlock..."maybe later." Same with iCloud and one other thing, I forget.

In trying to use the device for the next hour or so I was nagged constantly to "finish setting up your device" because I hadn't turned this crap on that I never ever wanted to use.

Do you want to go stomp some puppies?

What!? No!!

I'll take that as a "maybe later."
I suppose you couldn't be certain but if you had an experience like that, I think you'd be more likely to believe it than not.

It sounds to me like the who of science doesn't matter as much as the where and the when. There are ideas floating around in the ether, and the discovery of these ideas generate more ether for future discoveries. To a large extent being a scientific luminary is being in the right place at the right time.

Which doesn't seem at odds with the grandparent post, given that we shouldn't expect throwing more people at the problem to accelerate discoveries.
I've seen people do YYYY/DD/MM, so your friend's format isn't foolproof. OTOH although I'm sure some insane person somewhere has done YYYY-DD-MM I've never seen it so YYYY-MM-DD should be safe.
You describe more than I can witness simultaneously.

While I look at the shape of the 4 letters "Hello", I can't interact with other agents. I can't even imagine such an interaction without losing the full grasp of how the four chars look like.

So I would say I don't know if anything else exists. Except of the 100 bits of information or so which I can witness.

Of course. Everyone does. If you don’t, you’re an idiot or a non-participant in our market economy.

SpaceX would. They wouldn’t exist without them. But their marginal economics don’t depend on them.

You make a good point. It's possible it's not useful to them and that's why they can't generate enough revenue from it. I assume the sales pitch to pharma is that it's a wide database, rather than deep.

This is fair, especially as it follows a discussion of how you're building at the rack level, which is more like a mainframe than current "hyperconverged" offerings. Recommend others read the linked post.
This looks like a snail mail forwarding service? Surely that's not mandatory to move somewhere else? I've never used this in Europe (moved 5 times), just tell the places that need to send me physical mail my new address
FTA:
The study found that managers use RTO mandates “to reassert control over employees and blame employees as a scapegoat,” and concluded that “we do not find significant changes in firm performance in terms of profitability and stock market valuation after the RTO mandates.”

Anecdotally this has been pretty clear.
Even the language management coaches RTO in is more stick than carrot.
More and more it's announced alongside layoffs, in terms of "you better do it, because", rather than "we want the collaborative environment fostered by RTO" kind of phrasing.

Cool stuff, can't wait for the employment market to turn again and the ego trip ends.

Reminds me again of Josh Wolfe posting twitter chants of "suits! suits! suits!" as the RTO wave started 12-18 months ago. Clearly if thats the mindset, its a punishment & capital re-asserting power over labor.

I've done something similar for URLs (stops you mixing up whole URLs, substrings of URLs and regular strings), relative vs absolute time (easy to mix these up when there's several of these around and you're subtracting/adding to create new times) and color spaces (stops you mixing up tuples of RGB and HSL values). Feels very worthwhile for object IDs as well as there's always other variables around you could get them mixed up with.

Has anyone come across any good photo books of Silicon Valley from the past or present. I love looking back and reliving those early days of the valley and like to see how it has transformed.
I wonder how they could implement that?
Perhaps some sort of currency based system, tied to your medical records, voting profile, commercial bonus programs, dating apps, travel profile, work rights, and carbon score?

We could call it "Currency Based Digital Chronicle", or CBDC for short.

We could instantly tax and fine all transactions, even retroactively, and use it to track and influence individuals based on the whims of the ruling class. We could disable it if someone disagrees with the narrative, or for testing purposes, for the laughs, or because it is Wednesday. Then undesireables could not work, eat, travel, date, or exist in society… It could be glorious! /s

Art doesn't yield dividends or interest, the only way to make money with art is by selling it, this is not investment but speculation.

The point about commodification is interesting. There is some need for unique and expensive physical objects, but not as an investment, rather as a way of showing off and feeling wealth.
Is there even a "now"? Our neurons add milliseconds to every signal impulse that allows us to experience the "now" (that's not to mention the time it takes for the brain to process everything). We're perpetually experiencing the past whilst moving through space.

My view is that pure mathematics is true because it says so. It doesn't rely on any kind of structure from the universe to hold it up (that's why the universe can be made out of mathematics). If you define mathematics the way we do, then you get the answers that we do, no other ingredients required.

There are other ways to define mathematics, sure, and if those ways allow universes that our ways don't, then those universes "exist" too.

Not quite true - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_(database)#Tables_versus...

A Table is a Relation encoded as a set of tuples resulting from the cartesian product of values from multiple sets each of which is from a domain.

Tables are a weaker form of Relations and hence a superset except for the "ordering" characteristic when it can be considered a subset.
It's a VR headset, angular resolution is fixed at 3800 px / 90 deg = 42px/deg.
For a 27.5" virtual display half a meter away, let chord length = 700mm, radius ~ 600mm, distance to virtual display will be 488mm, and diagonal angle it occupies within view will be 71.4deg.
with 42px/deg, resolution is ~3000px diagonal, or from (16x)^2+(9x)^2 = (3000)^2, x = 163.4, therefore resolution for that virtual monitor will be 2608x1470.

Other combinations of distances and virtual sizes can be calculated in the same manner.
Given how messed up the travel has been since Windows 8, and the focus Azure and XBox nowadays get, Windows Forms and WPF are still the best way to target Windows from .NET on the Microsoft own frameworks (naturally there are Avalonia and Uno as well).

For the C++ folks, Microsoft has yet failed to produce anything better than MFC, C++/WinRT with XAML and COM/IDL ain't it.
Part of the problem is Intel is addicted to huge margins. Maybe of the areas they have tried to enter are almost commodity products in comparison so it would take some strong leadership to convince everyone to back off those margins for the sake of diversification.

They should have been worried about their process leadership for a long time. IIRC even the vaunted 14nm that they ended up living on for so long was pretty late. That would have had me making backup plans for 10nm but it looked more like leadership just went back to the denial well for years instead. It seemed like they didn't start backport designs until after Zen1 launched to me.
Government agencies require a data sharing agreement when providing data to other agencies. These are service level contracts that specify the data to be shared, the redistribution conditions, security requirements, update frequency, and other procedures. AFAIK these contracts are publicly disclosable if you want to do some FOIA requests.
Why not take a snapshot image of the base install and just revert to that?
By the same token, would you say that C doesn't enforce message passing? The Objective-C runtime proves that you can create C systems that use message passing – but certainly it is not enforced.

I think most people would say that C doesn't have message passing. Being able to use the facilities provided by the language ecosystem to build message passing / relations on top is at another level.

I don't understand the use case for this software. Is the primary value that it will redirect to an alternative FOSS service if the requested FOSS service is offline?

I can kinda understand the value of redirecting from a non-FOSS frontend to a FOSS frontend, but if someone were inclined to share a link to a FOSS frontend in the first place I'm not sure why you'd go to the extra trouble of putting the link behind this service.

Yeah SwiftUI has a very good happy path, flanked on either side by a 1000 foot cliff spike pit.

My least favorite thing is when the compiler takes a look at my view body and times out trying to infer some kind of generic, and the tells me “hey this 100 line code block has an error, but we don’t know where or what exactly” so I have to comment out code until I find the specific call expression.
Valuable artworks are often used as collateral for loans and other financial instruments, so they can be used to make money.

There was a time when art, while hopefully pleasurable to own, was a non-performing asset financially. No longer. As the worlds of art and finance increasingly converge, leveraging art collections to unlock liquidity has become a healthily growing sector, according to its participants. There are two main groups of players: specialist lenders, who loan against art and other assets, and banks, who as part of their service will give loans to their clients, their art and other assets being the collateral.

Amusingly for projects of medium complexity, Powershell is probably comparable or better than Python, on Windows, especially for sysadmin type stuff.

Powershell actually had optional typing from day 1 but unlike mypy & co, it's actually checked. As in, types were optional, you didn't have to write the down in the code, but if you did add them, using the wrong types would error out.

Powershell also has great integration with .NET so almost every .NET library is available if you need it and the deployment story is ok - Powershell needs to be installed and you can bundle everything else you need.
As the guy who suggested to Marcus a lossless compression prize to replace the Turing Test, I've got to confess that all this pedantic sophistry "critiquing" algorithmic information is there for a good reason. In the immortal words of Mel Brooks: "We've got to protect our phoney baloney jobs gentlemen!"

https://youtu.be/bpJNmkB36nE

There is actually more at stake here than machine learning. This gets to the root of "bias" in the scientific method. Imagine what horrors, what risks, what chaos would be ours if a truly objective information criterion for causal model selection were to exist! Why, virtually every "sociologist" would be hauled to Hume's Guillotine in a Reign of Terror!

https://github.com/jabowery/HumesGuillotine

But to be clear, Marcus and I have a disagreement about pragmatics of such an approach to dispute processing in the natural sciences. He believes, for example, that the dispute over climate change should be handled by the standard processes in place with academia. My approach differs, based on my hard won experience with reforming institutional incentives:

https://jimbowery.blogspot.com/2018/04/necessity-and-incenti...

When it comes to multi-trillion dollar scientific questions, the conflicts of interest become so intense that you really need to apply a gold standard for objectivity and that is the single number: How big is your executable archive of the data in evidence.

While I understand the machine learning world looms as a rival for "unbiased" academic research, it nevertheless remains true that even in this emerging "marketplace of ideas", there is no formal definition of "bias" that disciplines discourse and thereby guides development at the institutional, let alone technical level. Everyone is weighing in with their fuzzy notions of "bias" that betray intense motivations when there has been, for over 50 years, a very clear and present mathematical definition.
I agree. There is actually a storm coming here tonight, reaching 50m/s gusts. Power is likely to go out, and I have to pre-warm the fireplace in case. Power will likely come back fairly soon, but Internet is not treated the same way. If it goes out, I don't expect it to come back fast.
Like the Eiffel Tower or Burj Khalifa, the algebra tower only has 4 levels (Real, Complex, Quaternion, Octonion) before it shrinks to degeneracy, and level 2 (Complex) has the best balance of dimensionality and power. Adding dimensions adds power, but linking the dimensions adds constraints on allowed structures.

By extension, does that imply you also don’t care about subjective experience if they can’t be proven empirically?

For those downvoting: The article says that the author does not care about any question that cannot be dis/proven empirically. The hard question of consciousness seems to fall in this category, so I'm asking the OP to elaborate if they fully agree with the article or have a different nuanced perspective.

Proxima Centauri is probably a poor choice of first destination, as there can be little of interest there.

The probes could make a point of only flying past planets, and the destination star. Courtesy, indeed, demands it. It is not clear that a probe entering a planetary atmosphere would disperse before striking the surface; at 60,000 km/s, it would have less than a ms to disperse in.

I am curious how you encountered this story, at this late date, so deeply buried in HN's lists.
> wages will go up

The issue is that tech can pay exorbitant salaries compared to physical-world companies as the product they're producing has infinite reach and is often 'evergreen'

It's the same issue as investment banking; when you can almost literally print the money you're paying salaries with you can hire everyone at any price.

The issue is, that leads to the smartest people in the country all ending up at 'virtual' industries and you discover eventually you don't have an economy, you just have a giant video game.
