That's my 2nd time reading this article (I'm sure its been posted to HN a few times) - and I'm just always impressed by Bourdain's writing style. It has a wonderful cadence and rhythm that just lends itself to being read.

Reminds you that its always good to be good at two things and bring them together. In this case he was sharp-witted and great at prose as well as being a celebrated chef. So why not host a show on food... Ultimately though, that may have been his undoing.

Yes and no. If you run the inverters or network at 100Khz up to 1 Mhz you get much different EMI than if you run them at 1 Khz. The inductor and ADC also play a role. We will know this only after we mass produce the chip, my test chips and prototypes (with RP2040 and Padauk PMS150) have similar but not the same EMI emissions.

- We could package the chip, for example wrap it entirely with the metal inductor. That works as a faraday cage and block the emissions. But will this raise the price?

- You put the chip between the solar cell and the (flat) wires. That works as a faraday cage and block the emissions. Will the solar panel maker do this?

- You could have solar cells without the panel, think fo a CD size solar cell encased in plastic just as a CD is a metal foil encased in plastic. Now you can wrap the chip and block the emissions. You can hang the cell from the wires (in a tree or on the distribution wire like christmas lights)
The problem is I get all this already on my phone without wearing a $3500 mask.

It doesn't even make sense. What do you want blinking arrows on the ground to show the way instead of the much superior way of just looking at google maps now?

It is unfortunate that the phone hardware companies have an interest in you using their phone more, otherwise they'd make it easier to manage your phone usage better. The screentime app in iPhone for example is so easy to bypass as a user even when you were the one who limited certain apps usage. I want an app that strictly locks away my access to an app and also suppresses notifications. Is that so hard to build?

It also needs to be a default functionality of browsers. The ability to limit time on websites.
I just checked the Screen Time statistics, and my average daily screen time last week was 18 minutes, the week before that was 22 minutes. I've never been in danger of becoming addicted to smart phones, just like I've never been in danger of being addicted to alcohol or gambling: none of them really appeal to me that much. But there are plenty of things I know I am addicted to, and I'm pretty sure the way to treat that addiction is to address the underlying issue for which the addiction is a response or a coping mechanism. Not to buy something and then pat yourself on the back. I very strongly doubt that just buying a flip phone is going to fix it; sorry folks (seriously).
Right, I've used pytorch before. I'm just trying to understand why the question of "how does a transformer work?" is only meaningfully answered by describing the mechanisms of self-attention layers at the highest level of abstraction, with any higher level of abstraction being nonsense. More specifically, why we should have a ban on any higher level of abstraction in this scenario when we can answer the question of "how does the human mind work?" at not just the atom level, but also the neuroscientific level or psychological level. Presumably you could say the same thing about this question: The human mind is a bunch of atoms obeying the laws of physics. That's what it's doing. It's not something else.

I understand you're emphasizing the point that the connectionist paradigm has had a lot more empirical success than the computationalist paradigm - letting AI systems learn organically, bottom-up is more effective than trying to impose human mind-like principles top-down when we design them. But I don't understand why this means understanding bottom-up systems at higher level of abstractions is necessarily impossible when we have a clear example of a bottom-up system that we've had some success in understanding at a high level of abstraction, viz. the human mind.
>I feel like i would like a phone…but the communication aspects can be problematic.

That’s not a phone then. It’s a computer (?)
I never understood this statement about the color blue like it has been claimed that ancient cultures may not have known it because they were not able to reproduce it and therefore were not able to knowingly see it. It reads nonsense to me as the sky is blue. It is a good example but I think describing sensory experience is not that difficult or impossible, for example I have never tried cocaine, regardless I have pretty good idea what it might feel like. But imagine if your language lacks some grammatical concepts like future.
Last year I got all into trying to, idk what to call it, "un-tech" my life. I started excitedly telling my wife I was going to get a one of these dumb phones and start using it. The next day a broken car on an incline rolled back into my car damaging it. I had to pull out my smartphone document the whole thing with pictures. I got a whole "what would you do with your dumb phone" and dropped the whole thing.

There is probably a middle ground like this article suggests that's more realistic. Just take the addictive stuff off, control notifications, add timers, add friction where you can etc. Just leaving my facebook account logged out basically killed my random scrolling habit.
> The more small businesses you serve, the more people you'll be interacting with who have a low level of understanding of your product paired with a lack of time to focus on drilling into issues

Even assuming the customer resource understands the technical aspects of the software, there's a time commitment on the customer side that's more difficult in SMB.

A large enterprise can assign >= 1 FTE to an important project.

At an SMB, you're usually working with someone who's wearing 5 other hats, and they're still the most responsible resource for your product on the customer side.
What an unexpected connection: Stephen Palmquist used to run the Hong Kong Philosophy Café, until he left the city recently, possibly in the wake of the political changes.

I can imagine a season of Curb Your Enthusiasm with Larry David spending the season trying to bring the codpiece back into fashion, after another embarrassing pants tent episode like in the very first season! Would be an awesome signoff for his final season.
this is a neat thing, i like it, i'll add it to my list of search engines i use
I couldn't live without SMS and navigation, so I kept my smartphone and just disabled my browser and removed all social media apps. Occasionally I have to re-enable my browser to scan a QR code (including for parking as the article mentions), which annoyingly reminds me how to circumvent this restriction, but it hasn't really been a problem so far. I already had Kindle on my phone, and I also installed the Wikipedia app and Dropbox so I can quickly look up facts, browse articles, or read a book or paper when I have nothing else to do. The main effect is that I spend most time on my phone reading stuff I actually want to read instead of aimlessly browsing the web.
If you're actually watching content (a whole movie, a series, etc), the total actual usage of the service easily eclipses any time spent bouncing around the UI?
The point is that an iPhone is a very powerful computer. With Bluetooth. So you could attach it to your HHKB like I did with my smartphone. Screen small, true. Don't know about iPhone video output but Android recent usually work with USB-C. You can do same with STB, except the video output is dealt with via TV. Insane.

But then again any old, second hand laptop would suffice as long as it is at least x86-64. In UA kids love to use these for (remote) school/teleconference. Many old ones got send from West.
So is this truly its own search engine / crawler / etc... and not using anyone else's searchs? I know ddg / kagi often use results from bing and other places, so just want to make sure.

also, how can I add this to my firefox search inside the address bar / search field?

While I directionally agree, I don't know how to reconcile this with antitrust. I wouldn't want Netflix to be the one company with all the content, with no competition. I guess what would be better is if all content was available on all the streaming providers, and then they'd compete on platform quality and price.
So is what happens in an actual literal human brain.

And yet, we spend quite a lot of our time thinking about what human brains do, and sometimes it's pretty useful.

For a lot of this, we treat the actual brain as a black box and don't particularly care about how it does what it does, but knowing something about the internal workings at various levels of abstraction is useful too.

Similarly, if for whatever reason you are interested in, or spend some of your time interacting with, transformer-based language models, then you might want some intuition for what they do and how.

You'll never fit the whole thing in your brain. That's why you want simplified abstracted versions of it. Which, AIUI, is one thing that the OP is trying to do. (As I said before, I don't know how well it does it; what I'm objecting to is the idea that trying to do this is a waste of time because the only thing there is to know is that the model does what the code says it does.)
The dataset probably ranges from hundreds to tens of thousands of queries. The exact number is confidential and frankly, it changes over time and differs from product to product, so the order of magnitude is more indicative. This also matches the case of most public datasets. https://github.com/beir-cellar/beir?tab=readme-ov-file#beers...

I guess the intuition is: if the dataset has less than 100 cases, it's arguably not diverse enough to cover all situations. On the other hand, the marginal gain of cases over 10,000 shrinks quickly. So O(1000) is probably a sweet spot if there is a way to automatically collect queries, e.g. from online traffic. If the dataset was hand-curated, it probably only makes sense to stay at O(100).

It's also important to note that at Google there are ML trained automatic rating in addition to human raters. Rating a query is a heavy job. The rating guideline itself has 36 pages: https://services.google.com/fh/files/misc/hsw-sqrg.pdf. Reportedly, Google hires 16000 external human raters. If all of the 800,000 experiments of the year were rated by humans, that would mean

800,000 experiments * 10,000 queries per exp / 250 working days per year / 16,000 raters = 2000 queries per rater per day (aka a rater needs to finish rating a query in 4 seconds)

Considering rating a query requires comprehending the results and making comparisons, this is unlikely to be achievable. So it's either the dataset is less than 10k, or a large portion of the rating is done by machine.
Yeah, a lot of people spend 3 weeks a year commuting.
> primarily because you had to change/add more premises to your argument as part of your explanation.

I did no such thing, I was putting the argument into logical form[1]. When you do that you express the original argument in specifically semantic terms. I've been saying the same thing since the beginning, piracy is stealing, and by stealing I mean experiencing their work without paying. Putting it into specific terms is not changing my meaning.

Also I hope you realize saying "fallacy" is not equivalent to trying to call bs on me. If you think I've actually committed a fallacy, go ahead and let me know what it is, and if you don't actually know any formal logic, then I'm sure ChatGPT will give you some good ideas.

In regards to your webpage example, websites have a common expectation of loading to the home page for viewing for free. If you have a website that was not explicit about the requirement for payment before the user went on it, then no it's not the same thing, and in fact there's not even a contract with going to a website so there's no legal basis for your example either.

Your arguments are getting less and less in the same vein of piracy

It's amusing watching streaming turn into cable, but somehow worse. At least we got some public access programming out of cable.

Piracy is a service problem. Valve proved digital piracy can be beaten by commercial solutions. The problem is the media cartels being intransigent with digital delivery, not piracy.
And also for some reason I can't zoom in to see the pictures. Opening the picture still does not let me zoom in. I have to open the picture in a bloody new tab to be able to zoom in and see it.

Considering the condescending/trying to be funny tone of the article, I'm wondering whether perhaps the joke's on me.

I'm currently furnishing a house and let me tell you, finding furnishings consistent in any way is near impossible.
I appreciate what you're saying, but convergence (via alternative paths, of various depths) is its own signal. Repeated rediscovery perhaps isn't necessarily wastefulness, but affirmation and validation of deep truth for which there are multiple paths of arrival :)
Thank you for writing this! I often feel the same way.

My relationship with Slack kind of summarizes things neatly. I enjoy using Slack and it is far and away my preferred method of communication with work colleagues and even work friends. At the same time, seeing slack messages or even the number of slack messages waiting for me is anxiety inducing. There is a false sense of urgency. Zoom is worse, on basically all counts. But Slack is a great idea and tool that is somehow awful for my mental health. I don't know what the solution is. I guess unplug and take a walk. No one has ever complained that I don't reply to a Slack message fast enough.
Obviously makes sense if you prefer the hardware
There is considerable competition in this space and prices are not coming down but going up. Services and content is not improving but getting worse.
The weakness of SMB is always going to be the high touch stuff, and they’re ruthless cost cutters mostly, it’s harder to drive loyalty as easily as you can with enterprise.

It’s the mid market that I think however is more lucrative long term, because businesses with between 50 million and a billion in revenue are a bit of a sweet spot, as they are likely to have some experts but they’re also growing, which means as their business grows you can grow with them, ideally.

That said, sometimes with SMBs you snag a rocket ship that grows by 100x or more and they sudden become a very top tier customer
I've got a Klein Stein, and it's really cool, but I wish I had bought a regular bottle instead because it's not quite as interesting when you show it to people who have never seen one before. They just think its an all-glass insulated mug.

So Avalonia is built on top of Skia which is Google’s portable 2D rendering engine.

So in theory it is as cross platform capable as Chrome/Electron without all the overhead that html brings. Brilliant play, imho.

Now, as long as Apple doesn’t manufacture a reason to ban apps based upon it…
It's market efficiency at work: appliances are well past the point of being good enough, they're now being optimized to the point of being as shit as they can be without becoming unsellable.

Capacitive touch buttons became cheaper than mechanical buttons. That's why they're suddenly on everything now.
Dragging an anchor seems to work pretty well.
You are likely already aware of this, but for other readers, you actually have to use Pulumi if you want native language feature support.

I agree CDK for TF can be better than HCL, but it is still more like a template preprocessing utility for Terraform and thus still carries the limitations of Terraform.

This may be relevant to a space with a large(r) amount of mature competitors, but I am not sure it exists in smaller (less mature) markets to the extent it impacts your ability to sell.

You need a considerable amount of internal political power to push away a new “competitor”, which generally requires time (maturity).

This is not to say it does not happen, but I think the markets where this is a key element of friction in selling possess enough capital to win-over entrenched “rent-seekers” if needed.
Apple has spent years teaching people that if it runs without modification, it's safe. End of story. It came from the App Store, or it's allowed by Safari, so it's good to go.

Couple that with malware getting more subtle [0], and Windows Defender getting better, and most people will assume they're virus free and have been for years (even if they're not).

> They're also more likely to show up with their entire department (or org) on fire and demand a senior on-site presence or similar level of sustained round-the-clock commitment, including handoffs across time zones and geos, until the fire's out.

This is a great example of “doing things that don’t scale”.

When you’re a scrappy startup servicing a big time enterprise client, you get to a be star when shit hits the fan. Rather than getting a pre canned “we’ll get back to in $SLA_DURATION” response, you craft an answer and solution that actually addresses their issue. And you do it off hours, researching things that aren’t even directly your problem.
Yeah that's what I have and I will never go back. I open one app for VOD content and one for audio content. The quality is often superior to the streaming platforms for movies.

Not having to care about which platform something is on is so nice.

> "I read it when younger and it was like a powerful transformational psychedelic experience at a one day festival"

I never had a psychedelic experience but I wouldn't object to this way of framing my experience with the book.

I would say there's something more "profound" than what you'd get from reductionistically learning the concepts introduced in the book one by one. It feels as if the author had a powerful transformational psychedelic experience and afterwards he wrote the book to share what he learned about consciousness and its relationships with self-referential computation.

While it seems the crowd here is focused on the "Gödel" part, the book actually dives deep into a lot of auxiliary topics, for example (from memory having read it 20 years ago) - ideas about Zen, tensions between reductionism and holism, how DNA replicates itself, contrapuntal music etc. And while GEB isn't necessarily a great introduction to these topics, the concepts are indeed related in some way towards the philosophical question of consciousness, and IMHO the reader benefits from having been introduced these concepts in such a context.

So if you're just trying to understand Gödel's theorem there are better books. And the mismatch in expectation is probably much of the frustration by those who didn't like the book that much.

All that said, just try reading a couple chapters and see if you like it. The "psychedelic experience" isn't for everyone, so just try it and see for yourself if it vibes with you.

Thanks for reminding me Wikipedia has an app. I need to use that more and the fast food internet less. I’ve often thought that a Wikipedia archive could be a great desert island choice. It’s the Library of Alexandria on a thumb drive. I guess it’s about 150gb now with images. So much human knowledge there!

>Each article would take a little over two minutes to read for an average adult. Reading all of Wikipedia would take about 140 000 hours, which is 5800 days, or almost sixteen years. That's assuming that you're reading 24 hours a day! Reading a standard eight-hour workday seems more reasonable.
> iOS does offer options for "read selected photos" and "add-only photos".

The annoying thing here is how apps insist on either requiring full album access so they can implement their own photo picker or don’t provide a button to re-trigger reselection of “selected photos”.

I wish they’d just use the standard OS selector dialog and call it a day. I don’t care if the standard selector doesn’t meet some stupid product requirement, it’s good enough.
Distance is the only solution I know of when the malice is significant and it is at an all time high right now in the USA.
Partial agree. Plenty of films aren't available for rent on those services either.
I'm assuming that any future where Apple actually supports driving with the headset on would have to be a future where all the ethical and safety concerns have been worked out.

The people driving today with the headset (even for the memes) are the insane ones. It does not have the FOV for you to be fully aware of the road (I've used one in-store). I've also heard that even 12ms is apparently still too much latency for a driver to react promptly to emergencies.
The python core team endorses pip, but pip solves something like 80% of the problem - we need them to endorse the other 20% of the solution.

I've been using pip-tools for some time, I think it solves the other 20% of the problem for me in a simple way that I like. Poetry et al seem to be trying to do too much - ymmv.

The iterations on packaging that don't really seem to ever get it right are, I think, frustrating to the community where the core likes to advertise a "Zen of Python" "one way to do things" mantra, but can never really get 100% of the packaging problem sorted out in a clean way in spite of several communities seeming to figure it out.
The Shaheds fly much lower. You aren't likely to be able to shoot at them until they're close, unlike V1s where you could just send wave after wave of flak and destroy most of them.

Also, the drones are getting faster and faster, with the latest ones having turbojet engines.
Well, considering the total cap for all players on both teams playing in the Super Bowl is less than the amount you think should be paid to a single person, there’s a start. ;)

Someone dying of natural causes and someone being murdered both end up with the person dying, that does not mean they're the same thing.
Yep, I always think the 'all data' means there is no official api to do it, so I screw it and make my own from ground up.

Unfortunately browsers only make specific api for task that many people does. So there is always a portion of extensions need the 'all data' because there is no way otherwise.
