I hear the nay-sayers regarding the time cost and complexity of embedded programming, but as a hobbyist I think this is a great recommendation to at least consider.

The projects that I've been able to accomplish on a microcontroller have been more reliable (over decades) than my Pi-based projects, and I don't have to worry as much about them being part of some botnet because I forgot to change the default ssh configuration (wasn't it `pi:raspberry`?).

Beyond micropython, the no_std rust support for ESP32C3 is getting better every month. For people doing little home automation projects because they are fun, the additional constraints can make things a lot of fun and very rewarding.

But yes, for those that are already handy with Linux, a Pi is generally going to be much easier, though IME will be at least 10x as expensive, and the additional setup to get it in the same ballpark for reliability (SSD booting vs network booting vs ro-rootfs, watchdog setup, etc) and the increased power usage (esp for a Pi5) should at least be small part of the decision making.
hard to understand what exactly they are investing in. just building a data center to suck up the green energy is not such a great deal for germany
Sounds perhaps a bit naive, as one might expect from German government, when it comes to data. How much of such data does one need to de-anonymize someone? How easy will it be to accidentally slip identifying data in using whatever kind of system, that is supposed to be used? How easy will it be for any company like MS to correlate that data with all that other data they extracted without user consent?

Is there something unusual about your example that means (e)dit doesn’t work if you want to treat those lines as separate hunks? Usually if you have multiple logical changes that are adjacent and get recognised as a single change by default, you can just open your editor and keep the lines you want to stage, much the same as you’d do by marking the lines you want to stage in most of the interactive GUIs built on top of Git.

What you describe is basically how persistent http works, is it not? Even a persistent connection terminates at some point. Which web server does not work like that?

I guess you could send the connection header on draining, but anything less than what the big servers do is bound to cause some compatibility problem with some niche client somewhere. I can certainly see why a web server with millions of installs would be reluctant to change bevaviour, even if it is within spec.

I can only guess at the use case here, but maybe something designed from the start as a stateless proxy and not a general purpose web server would be a better fit.
They have… they write language and they are good at it. The problem is language is not reality, proper language does not mean truth or fact. The models predict what is most likely to come next, not what is most likely to reflect reality.

Really surprising to read how bad it is. My 2010 MacBook Pro battery lasted until 2023 (despite not being so useful anymore much earlier due to apple's planned obsolescence)

"What is the evolutionary advantage of being able to match abstract patterns?"

This reminds me of something I read about the mind preferring patterns because
patterns require less (mental) effort (to perform tasks).
That’s wildly different from my experience. Never lost the pieces or had to “track” them and the charge lasts for longer than I can comfortably listen to something without a short break.

Being tethered to a phone or computer with a wire that pulls, catches, and makes rubbing noise through your ears is truly an awful relic of the past.

Isn't that literally just slightly different colors? I don't remember meaningful differences between OS/2 1.3 and the Windows 3 line. I always thought that was part of why WinOS2 worked well: the Win32 apps looked like the old OS/2 apps, both giving them familiarity and emphasizing they were old.
There is another thing holding PWAs back: they don’t offer as much data mining potential as native apps. A lot of companies sabotage their own web apps just to force you to use the spyware in the App Store, and I’ll admit that isn’t Apple’s fault.
> I find it hard to believe the current products OpenAI offers will have good revenue streams given to how competition is catching up

I have a hard time believing LLM products have good revenue streams at all, regardless of who’s making it. I still don’t use ChatGPT for anything. I think the developer world is obsessed with how well it generates code, but even that I don’t get the sense is worth $80B. I don’t find that feature to be extraordinarily useful, but I guess there are some codebases where it is? I don’t see the value-add applications outside of that. It’s not a search engine despite much hand-wringing about that. The whole document summarization / “style assistant” thing is a neat trick that might come in handy a few times a year. Chatbot girlfriends? Always money in porn I guess. Customer assistance bots? Annoying screen-waster. Writing internal emails? If you’re using it for that I’m sorry for you. Will anyone pay a standalone subscription fee for these in the long run or are they just flashy features to bake into existing products?

Maybe it’s because my knee-jerk response to hype of any kind is to apply extra doubt / scrutiny, idk.

You don’t block on that, you run it on a continuous loop in a CI. Then, if tests fail, you are limited to the checkins over the last day or whatever, and you can more easily bisect to find the offending PR, and file a bug against that dev to fix, or just revert the change. But you dont run the full suite locally, though there are ways for stryker anyways to only test code that changed, which you can run locally, or in the PR build.
Not always that usually didn’t happen (or happened to a much lesser degree) in most of Asia and Africa.
You might be very surprised at how achievable it is to build a game, as long as you start small and limit your scope. I’d to steer clear of turn based games if you are starting out, as they generally entail a lot of complicated UI.

Instead I would attempt to do some kind of action game with the 2D canvas context. You might start by just trying to get a dot moving around with the keyboard arrows. Do a little research into a very basic “game loop”, which is basically.

function update(){
//handle the input
//do some other stuff
}

function draw(){
// render code here
}

Once you get a ball moving around, tweak you program to add something else, like giving the ball gravity. Then add something else, like making it bounce off the sides of the canvas. Keep doing this until you have a basic game. You really only need to know a handful of techniques to get something basic working, and from there you’d be surprised at how far you can go. Don’t worry about code quality or trying to do it right, just try to figure out how you can get the game to the next step.
I'm similar to you - jack-of-all-trades big picture problem solver - and have arrived at the same conclusion after managing for a bit over a year: stress resilience is the key skill. If you're an IC you can develop your career by learning new skills, domains etc. If you're a manager, career development becomes increasingly about personal development - maturity, perspective, emotional resilience etc. I suspect this in why seniority and interest in things like mindfulness meditation tend to coincide. HN will hate this, and I say this as a confirmed bachelor myself, but I wonder if parents make better managers because they are less likely to lose perspective and become stressed over things that don't matter in the grand scheme of things? Weirdly I seem to do my best managing when I've become emotionally checked out.

Turns out I'm pretty temperamental, and I privately worry that I'm just constitutionally ill-suited to management. I also struggle with the sometimes disingenuous nature of management - I'm not manipulating you, I'm motivating you! I wish I could just float around the organisation fixing problems, streamlining processes and re-jigging work systems...

> Doesn’t that imply that there is some topological structure to the hallucinations? What does that topology look like?

Maybe! I'm not an AI researcher or mathematician, so I don't know if anyone has pursued this idea. The problem might be that any such structure is intractably complicated to describe within the limits of human understanding.

> How do you know that there are no discontinuous regions or that you are not stuck in a local minima?

Are you talking about f() getting stuck in some kind of bad region while generating text, or about the optimization process itself?

The answer is the same in both cases: we don't.

Regarding text generation, we've seen plenty of examples where specific prompts result in pathological output. Although I'm not sure if newer models have that problem.

Regarding optimization, there is absolutely no guarantee that we have found a global minimum. Some interesting research has been done on the "loss landscape" of these giant neural network models, and my understanding is that they are messy and complicated. Keep in mind that the training data is part of the loss function! Finding a local minimum on the training data might just result in overfitting.
In much of the world, hunter-gatherers have needed to spend no more than two hours per day on practical activities, year-round. Temperate climates have been more demanding.

I agree. I simply claim that losing something you picked up in a week and losing something you dedicated your life to (in some cases, not all cases of course) is not exactly the same. It is also far easier in the former case to shrug off and maybe try plumbing, construction or anything else.

Someone would need to sail a good 60 km from the coast to see the top of Teide.

"The African coast lies 124 km from the highest point on Fuerteventura, Pico de La Zarza, and 97 km from the closest point on Fuerteventura, Punta La Entallada. Assuming a height of ~ 100 m for land near the Moroccan coast (there are no mountains close to the coast), the predicted visibility ranges are 137 km from Pico de La Zarza and ~ 90 km from Punta La Entallada (and ~ 100 km from a peak just inland of Punta La Entallada). Africa should therefore be visible from at least Pico de La Zarza, on a clear day. "

He's specifically doing the exact opposite of that.

But I guess I can sort of see what you mean, possibly?

>Ingroup sources enhance associative inference

https://www.nature.com/articles/s44271-023-00043-8

Abstract

Episodic memory encompasses flexible processes that enable us to create and update knowledge by making novel inferences across overlapping but distinct events. Here we examined whether an ingroup source enhances the capacity to draw such inferences. In three studies with US-American samples (NStudy1 = 53, NStudy2 = 68, NStudy3 = 68), we investigated the ability to make indirect associations, inferable from overlapping events, presented by ingroup or outgroup sources. Participants were better at making inferences based on events presented by ingroup compared to outgroup sources (Studies 1 and 3). When the sources did not form a team, the effect was not replicated (Study 2). Furthermore, we show that this ingroup advantage may be linked to differing source monitoring resources allocated to ingroup and outgroup sources. Altogether, our findings demonstrate that inferential processes are facilitated for ingroup information, potentially contributing to spreading biased information from ingroup sources into expanding knowledge networks, ultimately maintaining and strengthening polarized beliefs.

This won't work alone for ML. The matrix sizes are huge with billions of parameters. Doing light based calculations for that seems impossible with this technique.

Dark Side of Hong Kong: The Real Life Dystopia [video]
I used to be a wallpaper hoarder but nowadays my wallpaper is just 100% black color to avoid the janky brightness shift while minimizing/maximizing dark themed windows. I have a large monitor so the effect is more pronounced compared to a smaller laptop screen.
I got an RGB30 after all the hype surrounding it. The screen is nice, but people should know Powkiddy devices are typically very cheaply made, and you can expect near-zero support from the company. The build quality of this thing leaves a lot to be desired.

In comparison, Anbernic and Retroid sell devices with better build quality and slightly better QC.

This is kind of true... It is extremely hard to stay calm in many situations having kids. In my opinion this has nothing to do with the ability to stay calm in general. It's more like long time of being stressed out that gets you there. Understanding that you are permanentely stressed out and taking the right measures (take time for yourself, don't take things to seriously, make everything a little game, children just don't WORK like adults - they are children, etc.) is most important.

Becoming parents is a process. Most of this process is great and it enriches your life, but parts of it may be so hard, that you can't explain it to anyone without kids. The first child was kind of ok-ish in my memory :-) But:

Imagine you have 2 little kids, both are sick, because one of them brought it in. They are not able to express their feelings by telling you what the problem is, they just cry the whole day and night. You and your partner are also getting sick, not as bad as your children, but you don't feel well. You can't ask for help, because there is a probability of infecting these persons. You don't sleep much for days and can't really rest. You are worried all the time, because your kids are really sick and you have to care about them, if it gets worse.

In a situation like this, minor daily tasks will be major efforts and at some point you just break down.

Not everything is as hard as this example, but usually having a toddler is energy-sapping all the time. At the same time it's a totally great experience.

Fascinated to see the mutable tuple optimization. Tuples are dense contiguous vectors in memory, which provide O(1) access - like binaries, but unlike lists.

It would be amazing if tuples could also provide O(1) mutable update, in special situations when the original value is not accessed again.

The Release Notes show record syntax example.

Most tuple changes in code are done through pattern-matched deconstruction, then independent re-construction, which is impossible for the compiler to recognize.

So the first step to wider optimization would be common use of 'setelement', very well hidden in the erlang module (i.e. not 'set_element', and no Elixir 'Tuple.set' or 'Tuple.update_at').

Then later, that function would get optimized away in many situations. Given that tuples can be up to 60m elements, it would give Erlang a big boost to have O(1) mutable vectors (note the `array` module is a functional tree, not a mutable 1D vector).

I am thinking about graphics and data analysis - a huge win. Elixir could also benefit tremendously. Various packages, like 'array' module in Erlang, and 'Nx' in Elixir, would be radically changed. Maybe Elixir could extend '[i]' syntax to access tuples.

I'm pretty techy and I'm pretty baffled myself. I don't think I've ever even seen anyone else use a PWA, let alone used them myself.

And honestly, I'm not sure how I feel about them. Replacing native apps with web-only cloud services sounds like a bad case of 'out of the frying pan and into the fire'.

I've come to hate what Apple has done to computing, but I'm sceptical that PWAs are the solution here, so I'm struggling to get too fired up about this.
