Got really obsessed with this, need to close the tab now. Some notes:

- In general, play the game as if you are asking an 11 year old, "what do you get when you combine X and Y?" The LLM likes rhymes and similar-sounding syllables, i.e. The Godfather + Goth => Gothfather.

- Some concepts seem to be "weightier" than others; "Dracula" usually becomes "Vampire" and vice-versa, no matter what you combine it with. "Chtulhu" is also difficult to combine with other things; it tends to remain "Cthulhu". "Darth Vader" is good for generating lots of "Darth" things but tends to revert to "Darth Vader" at the slightest provocation. "Santa / Santa Claus / Christmas" is also weighty and tends to cycle. Similarly, the Mario characters all tend to turn into Mario eventually.

- The longer your token gets, the harder it is to get it to combine with other things. "Bumblefrostycatpocalypse" + most things => "Bumblefrostycatpocalypse"

- The LLM knows lots of movie titles, and these are good for generating super long tokens, especially if you can goad it into inserting a colon, i.e. "The Fall of Star Wars: The Flying Crabster"

- Once your token gets too long, the game won't even try to combine it with anything else. I'd like to keep going with "Freddy Mercury vs. Jason + Jedi Mind Trick" but it won't let me.

Finally, a few of my favorite first discoveries: "Super Evil Jackie Chan", "The Best Halloween Costume Ever", "Postpornmodernism"
I had this same issue. I bought Pure Encapsulations Adenosyl/Hydroxy B12 and Thorne Research - 5-MTHF 1 mg Folate from amazon but never felt any different.

Was my B12 a dud, does everyone with this marker see improved results after supplements?
I wonder how the neanderthals felt when a new, superior(?) species appeared out of nowhere. Is this how we're feeling about technology and AI now? Give technology another thousand years and humans may well be facing the same fate as neanderthals did. Or perhaps like nea/humans, we will find a way to interbreed?
I'm curious, it boggles my mind how people get energy bills that high. Do you pay 90¢ a kilowatt hour or something? What are you doing in your house to use that much electricity?
As others have said, these things take a lot of upfront cost, so they have to be done in batches. Actually there's quite a lot of products that are done this way, I would argue pretty much anything that takes "pre-orders" for a long time instead of "order now and get yours in a day or two", for example the Playdate console.
can this be added to ollama.ai?
In what capacity did guns "make this country" other than their capacity for violence? If guns weren't designed with that intent in mind, why does an entire Constitutional Amendment exist to preserve them? Why guns, since guns are merely a tool, and no other tool?

Also, if guns are simply tools, why do you personally take pride in them? Do you also personally take pride in hammers, or can openers?
I don't have the hulk, but Superman mostly refuses to combine with other superheroes (Deadpool, spider-man, wolverine, aquaman) or turns into the justice league (batman). Though Superman+ghost rider= super ghost rider.
Kleptocracy describes near to any any modern political system - "public service" could much more aptly be described as "self enrichment." So the term is neither particularly descriptive, nor relevant, in my opinion.
Social Media Is Warping History
If you'd have told me that Okta has 540 employees, I would believe you. Even double that seems plausible. But damn, 5400 is a lot.
Depends on policy, but if policy pushes domestic gas out then heating comes form either heatpumps or resistive heating (which would be far more)
Who are you seeing as being desensitized in this scenario? People searching the net for CP are already desensitized.
But you don't, the only reason we're even discussing China now is because you brought it up as "but China!" when I want Fauci and Daszak to get consequences for keeping quiet and lying about what they knew early in the investigation.

Here are your exact words:

> We'd actually know better if China, not the US, but China, had been more forthcoming as to what exactly happened at the Wuhan Institute of Virology

You can think China is equally responsible, they are not mutually exclusive views, but it's not really a response to my statement is it? It's shifting the blame. Fauci and Daszak denied any possibility of a lab leak, and should be prosecuted. The cynic in me even assumes this was outsourced to VIW in an attempt to cover up their tracks if shit hit the fan, don't fall for it.
What Makes for 'Good' Mathematics?

The fact that the issues aren't limited to Harvard, but are endemic, implies that this isn't the Marketplace Of Ideas at work, but rather the result of a system of incentives. This is not an issue that will fix itself via market mechanisms.
that's also nightmare enducing since sql is great for interacting with data but less great at expressing how that data should be stored and the relationships within the data. this worsens quickly the more complex the business logic gets.

stored procs also tie you to that database engine, which could be bad if, for example, you're paying a fat stack of cash to oracle and they come back asking for more.

i think a business logic api in a programming language that leverages raw SQL is the best middle-ground IMO.
Because it’s not that interesting. Bad guy decides being bad is boring, and starts being good? Like, okay, but… why?
I mean sure, in theory something else can activate caps lock. In practice, it's only ever activated through a button press on the keyboard used. Caps lock being activated by something else or being reassigned to another button is the edge case here.
> And, because houses of worship generally don’t pay taxes, they’ve also had trouble capitalizing on renewable energy tax benefits.

Well, there's an easy fix for that but they won't like it.
The question for me is, what are you going to use the capital for? Hire devs to accelerate progress? Marketing? If it’s strictly to pay yourself, I’d probably just keep plugging away or move over to contract work to supplement.
It's bullshit. Us(Norway) not pumping oil doesn't change anything. The problem isn't pumping, the problem is burning. We need to reduce the demand, not the supply. Reducing supply from Norway just causes other suppliers to scale up and the end result is exactly the same. Until they run out and we pump up this oil anyway because the world needs oil and nobody's addressing that part of the problem.
I object to lots of aesthetic issues on buildings around me.

How can I use my objections to force the building owners to do what I want rather than what they want? Is there a way, or does it only work for things like solar and wind power?
This feels like "a crime" with the gravity and social harm of a non life-threatening misdemeanor (that indeed should be fined), punished with a life-sentence of hard labour.

If he is reincident, then the court should have ordered compulsory psychological treatment - this feels like outright cruelty.

Hasn't Canada signed modern Human Rights treaties?

And - can't he just declare bankruptcy (nevertheless still implies paying a few years of personal income) and reset his debt?

Yes, agree.

If it is out in the open, with the chat/prompts available, you can ask other questions. You're not on your toes trying to catch a cheater. You're not assuming that the interviewee is lying or trying to scam you.
I have a colleague who performed a major migration of the linting tools we used. TSLint to ESLint. Of course, they also fixed all the new rules changes. All in all, took them roughly thirteen months. I'm certain that they would have had less trouble merging their changes in if they did so in much smaller chunks.
A Few Thoughts on Spending Money
I’m on the third book of The Final Architecture Series and it’s great space opera with good story-telling. The world of the series feels real and yet mysterious and fantastical.

I looked into his other series when I discovered him and was hesitant to get invested in Children of Time because the reviews I read were mixed and many said it was (paraphrasing here) good but something of a slog.

What do you love about it, and—if you’ve read them—how does it compare to TFA series?
From what I've seen it's over-hiring plus interest rates changing the criteria by which companies are measured. The market now favors profitability over exponential growth and for many companies that means slimming down.
SME workshops made an assumption they would be able to get cheap electricity for the entire time. The reason prices went upto 111p/kWh was because of the price of gas and oil skyrocketting as demand ballooned post covid, sanctions hit, and fears of war skyrocketed. That's nothing to do with renewables.

If variation is a significant and long term then grid sized storage will buy low and sell high.
I'm not sure how important the difference is in practice, offshore oil drilling sounds like something that can be easily disrupted during a war.
> We could have all the cheap capital in the world but it would still be cheaper to manufacture in China, Taiwan or other parts of Asia where people work 50,60+ hour weeks for lower pay and no benefits or vacation.

What about the US? If 75% of Intel's fabbing is done in the US, that should show us something. An EU-based company that sent 25% of its fabbing off to China would also be much better than protectionist laws. Why can't it be made?
This take reminds me of how Stephen King considers Kubrick's The Shining a terrible film[1]. I had the misfortune of accidentally renting the Stephen King approved The Shining miniseries[2], and I have to say - it's worse in every way: slow, plodding, and forgettable. I can't comment how either compares to the book - I've never read it - but the Kubrick version is the superior film.

This is all a long way of saying that faithfulness to the source material is overrated in film. Some written works just don't work well when closely adapted to the screen. A few notable movies even manage to twist the original to express a completely different idea or theme (e.g. Starship Troopers). The original author is not some ultimate authority regarding the meaning of a work.

> Google’s guidelines for a good code review include:
> - Continuous improvement over perfection

This seems like the biggest win of all. All too often, PR reviews just focus on superficial or subjective items such as code formatting or variable naming (not that variable naming isn't important, but these discussions rarely yield any fruit).

It's not clear, though, how Google's Critique tool, specifically, facilitates that, or any of the other objectives.

I'm sure Critique is a great tool, but the article's claims about "taking the pain out of reviews" isn't very convincing.
"Gary Bowser had a key part in an international piracy hardware manufacturing operation."

So what? Why should that get him a $14 million fine? There's nothing morally wrong with what he did and it should not be illegal.
It seems like this was attempted before (2019):

Because Meta makes more money than all the ISPs together and the ISPs offer a much more useful value to the users. And no, the end goal is to not allow companies to profit from human misery which it seems you aren't against.
From the claims, it appears Lifestance charged therapists to be part of the network but were treated as employees, resulting in some therapists owing more than they made. Ouch!

I wonder why they didn't operate as a lead gen agency to avoid the employment issues. Maybe this is how they were able to IPO. It made it seem like they had real assets with a network of on staff therapists and nurses.
I know tons of Java and Go Dev's who don't like ORMs and for a good reason.

The model is trained by giving pairs of examples. So that it learns to generate an internal representation of images, texts or whatever inputs.

There are other ways to train, but this is the basic example.

Seems like Astro is sticking around. Glad to see improvements happening at a good pace for the project.

I know the people behind it did the now defunct Snowpack project and maintain (at least nominally) the Skypack project, which I think at some point they were going to attempt to monetize but that never went anywhere.

Seems like their 3rd project struck gold. Good for them!
Did Mark Zuckerberg just lie to Congress?
Is there a causal link between social media and poor mental health?

I personally think that's a self-evident truth, but also amply
evidenced by scientific research. Have you read any research, such as
those collected here [0], or maybe more recent studies?

Mark Zuckerberg said to US Congress (and a room full of grieving
mothers):

"The existing body of scientific work has not shown a causal link
between using social media and young people having worse mental
health"

His advisors may have thought that was something they could get away
with, but did they not properly research and so misjudge that?

Did Zuck just effectively lie to Congress?

> What do you gain from having a separate language agnostic file?

Right now, nothing.

In the future, when I overcome my laziness, it's a single place to define tests that multiple projects in multiple languages (in this case, encoding/decoding libraries) need to pass in an identical manner. If I ever identify more edge cases that I need to test, I can add them in one place and all existing implementations would automatically test them, and for future implementations I only need to implement enough to read and loop through the test files and then I'm done.

Another advantage comes about in the corporate world (where most of my programming energy has less-than-fortunately gone): having test cases defined in a format like CSV that Excel can edit makes it easier for non-programmers (i.e. the vast majority of stakeholders for the average corporate software project) to read and write the test cases.
Oh man, I'd really like a copy of that and I see they have a sale on ($40 for both hardcover volumes), but then... $50 for international shipping is a bit steep.

Google thought it had a business model that incentivized them to stay good. The opportunity to sell results didn't go away and eventually they took it.
“He was no angel. That’s why corporate servitude should be legal.”
You seem to understand it with your own example of airport security types of situations. There are also other similar law enforcement actions where the people wouldn't have enough info to have a high enough degree of certainty that you possess something to be able to get suspect enough to cause additional harm on not finding it when the keys are disclosed
I actually believe that it was the right decision from an artistic perspective. The last chapter of the book removes all moral ambiguity or provocation, and is instead leaving you with the moral of the story as explicit. Without it, you are left to ponder the question of morality.
As odious as the content is, curtailing it gets into a mess of legal grounds which the parent comment tried to explain why they believe so.

I understand getting riled up because of the content's nature but you haven't improved the conversation by debating on what specific legal grounds this type of speech in the US should be curtailed by. There's no direct harm to a victim, if a film maker includes a scene of a CGI baby being raped (for whatever reason they do it, be it for shock value, storytelling, whatever) should that also lead to a prosecution? That's the point where finding a valid legal ground enters, just defining it by "I don't like it" is not a valid legal reason.

I'm not American nor a free speech absolutist, much much less trying to defend people looking at CP, but you do need strong arguments on what basis to make laws against this.
But the quantities needed for the rest of the applications are so much smaller.
I think they never were a distinct species. How can you tell something is "neanderthal DNA", if the vast majority of genes is shared anyway? So let's say we have three common alleles of a particular gene: GATTACA, GATCACA, and, GATAACA, then you find a neanderthal homozygous for GATAACA, and you somehow decide that all its occurence in modern people are from "neanderthal admixture"? Why?

You can see people looking more or less "neanderthal" in different times and places, even within the short period of photographic evidence. The difference is environmental.

Hi, I am David Kircos. The Founder of Quadratic (https://QuadraticHQ.com), an open-source spreadsheet application for engineers that supports Python, SQL (coming soon), and classic Formulas.

Unlike other spreadsheets, Quadratic has an infinite canvas (like Figma). As a result, you can pinch and zoom to navigate large data sets, and everything renders smoothly at 60fps.

Today, we launched real-time Multiplayer on Product Hunt!

Quadratic is built using WebGL and Rust WASM. We built our multiplayer service from scratch in Rust to handle large amounts of data smoothly. For smooth rendering of a large grid of data, cells and text are rendered using low-level WebGL for performance. If you are interested in the technical details, check us out on GitHub (https://github.com/quadratichq/quadratic/)

What do you think? Can we make a spreadsheet that developers actually enjoy using?
Apple did not invent the term "spatial computing" to apply to XR (augmented/virtual/extended reality headsets). I've heard the term for at least the last ten years, personally. I believe Magic Leap first started using it. edit: wikipedia says it's been around since the 90s for VR

> The whole point of publishing an idea or art piece is to influence people.

As an author, I throughly disagree with this statement. Humans like to tell stories and entertain each other.

My primary goal for publishing my stories is for people to find them enjoyable. Some of my stories have a secondary goal of showing less common perspectives for the purpose of introducing people to ideas they may not have considered.

Any idea can influence someone, but does not mean all ideas are published to influence.
The VSLAM system is (or maybe was???) an upward facing camera. It was basically celestial navigation using the lights in your ceiling. It wouldn’t do much good for spying.

The newer ones high end ones have front facing cameras. I don’t know if that’s a replacement or in addition to. And that’s the camera that might capture your stuff.

I think Roborock and others have copied the front facing camera. Seems like you could still spy with a LIDAR bit if you had that.

Did you write many papers in experimental particle physics? I did, and in my experience, peer review was not a joke. And results from different experiments really are used as validation. Citations are not just used as a metric, but helps to leverage prior work.

7shifts cuts 19 percent of staff in new layoffs to start 2024
Yeah, 100% agreed. It felt like art for all the chapters until the end, then it turns to propaganda for the final pages.
Cars, yeah, that’s a big decision, making the right pick is a responsibility that lots of people fail at. It is all well documented, MPG is provided, so you just have to make the right pick.

Groceries, unfortunately the carbon cost is not obvious, food grown in one country, shipped to another, processed and packed in a third country. It’s all a convoluted mess. If the companies were required to track and report their carbon cost on the box, maybe we could start talking about personal responsibility.

In general burning fossil fuels is way of externalizing a cost onto the planet (cheap energy as long as you don’t account for the environment). Companies receiving this free subsidy from the environment have an advantage over companies that don’t receive the subsidy, and it is basically impossible to detect who is receiving the subsidy from the outside. We need to correct this evasion of normal market forces.
Tinder might as well have a biohazard warning upon its logo.

There is a specific subset of Millennials, pre-HPV vaccination [1], that are sitting upon a throat/cervix cancer epidemic.

Ya'll stay safe out there; condoms don't protect 100% against several common STDs (e.g. HPV, herpes); if she "doesn't want you to wear a condom," she doesn't want anybody wearing condoms with her; stay out of the clubs; STAY OUT OF THE BROTHELS; statistically-speaking, (s)he will probably cheat on you, and more than once; Tinder is the center of the modern-dating cesspit.
