I think it's just relativity. After all, the gas in the Earth's atmosphere is traveling 29.78km/s relative to the sun (~Mach 85). Inside of the nozzle it doesn't really matter that it's traveling supersonic relative to the air outside the nozzle until it leaves the nozzle.

I don't think the difference in speed of sound will have much effect in any case.
your point is valid but the paper explains it clearly and obviously. they are NOT dimensionally reduced hyperparameters, no. The hyperparameters are learning rates, that's it. X axis, learning rate for input (1 hidden layer). Y axis, learning rate for output layer.

So what this is saying, for certain ill-chosen learning weights, model convergence is for lack of a better word, chaotic and unstable.

You will never actually encounter code like this in practical use.

And even if not, this example isn’t particularly hard to decompose and understand once you have a basic grasp of the independent underlying bits (generics, lifetimes, borrows). It’s just combining all of them pathologically into an extremely terse minimal reproduction.

It’s like saying you could never understand Java because someone linked to an AbstractClientProxyFactoryFactoryFactoryBean.

Yep, Google outsources search ratings to humans working for a third-party called Leapforce - see "The secret lives of Google raters"[1].

There are specific guidelines for rating results, especially for political and medical queries. This is probably a big part of the massive decline in search quality - authority is valued more over accuracy to the specific query.

> There is no evidence that any alternative system would be better.

Bull roar. The Haudenosaunee had a collectivist, shared-ownership, woman-led society that thrived for hundreds of years if not longer, and became something of an empire in what is now the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada.

This is what inspired Engels to consider collectivist approaches to society building as an alternative approach to the intrinsic oppression of capitalism.
It's complicated. If you're a tourist and just stumbled upon a species not yet described, that's only the start.

Next is a whole lot of work to actually describe it which a tourist would typically not be doing, so the idea that you should get naming credit is not a given. There's no hard rule for it.

You can definitely give input for the name, and there's rules to naming. You can't name it after a company, for example.

The most generous example I've seen is a research organization where you can "buy" a species name. Within taxonomy rules, you can decide on a name for a fee, even if you didn't discover the species at all. It's a way to fund research.

In my experience though, getting an actual discovery described is the real issue. I've discovered both plants and insects new to science myself, did the work of collecting specimens and sending them to the correct authorities, but years later there's zero movement. Taxonomists are severely underfunded.

It's rarely interesting logic that makes it expensive. Because the per-query charge is not based on compute cycles but the amount of data scanned. This is sufficient:

`SELECT * FROM super_wide_table_with_lots_of_text
WHERE NOT filter_on_partitions_or_clusters`

Select * is dangerous because it's a column store. You really need to look at the schema and select only the things you want. And when exploring the data it's important to use sane limits and pull from a single partition.

We all learned that people actually don't care for using Facebook the way it was intended.

It's just easier to share the few images you care for through Whatsapp (or whatever else people use, at least for my family chat it's what app for years now).

It's effort to curate through holiday pictures and people don't want to go through 10 or more. They are happy with 1 or 4 or so.
Because this sounds so much like Logseq, I'm curious what about it didn't meet your needs
This happens because Google hides the query cost behind its abstracted "TBs scanned" (for their data format, not even open-source so it's hard to estimate in advance) or even worse "slots" mechanism. Only a fraction of people try to understand how much these slots cost and most of them are the people who got an unexpected bill after using BigQuery and became more aware of how the product works.

If GCP would return the query cost in the API and show it directly in the console when you run a query, it would be much easier for their users but unfortunately, it's not Google's interest for obvious reasons.
> So, the youth protested. Much like it does today, but it seemed more hopeful about the future.

> It's no wonder that many people nowadays, esp. those who are so young that they've never experienced anything but cloud instances, seem to have little idea of how much performance you can actually pack in just one or two RUs today.

On the contrary, young people often show up having learned on their super fast Apple SSD or a top of the line gaming machine with NVMe SSD.

Many know what hardware can do. There’s no need to dunk on young people.

Anyway, the cloud performance realities are well know to anyone who works in cloud performance. It’s part of the game and it’s learned by anyone scaling a system. It doesn’t really matter what you could do if you build a couple RUs yourself and hauled them down to the data center, because beyond simple single-purpose applications with flexible uptime requirements, that’s not a realistic option.

Alright, I suppose I do actually. Its right up there with Fermi paradox papers wrt the number of wide and wild assumptions required to justify a dramatic headline and clickbait-ha-ha measurement like "one elephant."

It's a reasonable hypothesis, but despite the drama, this sort of thing has no predictive power in our actual universe. Only one where those assumptions all hold.

Nope. Not many at all.
> First, the currently-conscripted Finnish army would defend. Secondly, any additional volunteers from the populace that would like to help defend their homeland, will also help defend. Thirdly, if these first two groups are insufficient, additional conscription will be performed against the remaining population.

Finland has a population of 5.5 million people. They have almost 900 000 soldiers including reserves in their armed forces that they can mobilize in case of war.

When war breaks out, they have already trained as many people as possible. There aren't many left to conscript at that point.

It was the same for Sweden during the cold war. The armed forces would have numbered almost a million soldiers out of a population of 8 million. On top of that, an additional 1.5 million swedes were part of the total defence forces.

> My claim is that on average, the third group will perform more poorly than the second group. I don't mean to compare either to the first group.

The thinking in Sweden has always been that conscription leads to a democratization of the army, stronger popular support for the armed forces, and a stronger will to defend the country.

So sure, if the country is invaded, the people who have not served before and refuse to do so even after an invasion will not be as good soldiers.

Not necessarily. If the old way of Facebook worked (i.e. was profitable) but it wasn't as profitable as the new way, FB still wouldn't use it. But some other company might be able to get away with it.
Don't bother coding, there's already Friendica that does everything old Facebook does and even more.

It’s popular enough; Simply making something massively popular rarely makes it better.

I think functional programming in general still has a lot to teach most programmers that are writing code in the most popular languages today. That doesn’t mean I think they should be using different languages primarily. It means I think they should make their own environments better by learning what others have figured out before them.

Erlang has seen plenty of success IMO.
RAM is not as fast in practice as the specs claim, because there is a lot of overhead in accessing it. I did some latency benchmarking on my M2 Max MBP when I got it last year. As long as the working set fits in L1 cache, read latency is ~2 ns. Then it starts increasing slowly, reaching ~10 ns at 10 MiB. Then there is a rapid rise to ~100 ns at 100 MiB, followed by slow growth until ~10 GiB. Then the latency starts increasing rapidly again, reaching ~330 ns at 64 GiB.
what you probably need is just more vegetation, and vegetation that is naturally suitable for the climate/microclimate, that will grow... naturally and without the need for upkeep.

You cannot get adequate tolerances with 3D printers. Typical 3D printing tolerances are +-0.1mm. Lego bricks are trashed at the factory if they're off by more than 0.02mm, and 99.9% of pieces are within 0.001mm.

This is crucial for making any brick connect to any other brick. You might be able to make a handful of bricks that connect to each other in 1 configuration on a 3D printer, but you're not going to be able to make multiple batches of bricks that fit together in any configuration.

> If it's been known since 2015 and not fixed, that's pretty suggestive.

That means nothing. In Rust, "everyone is a volunteer" and you're not allowed to expect things to be fixed unless you do it yourself - so the fact that this hasn't been fixed is simply an artifact of the culture, not necessarily the difficulty of the problem.
Questions as a technical writer who maintains docs sites:

* What pages would get included in the index? Everything on the same domain? Or only pages where the search widget is included? Your demo looks like it's pulling in answers from kagi.com whereas if I were maintaining those docs I might want it to only look at help.kagi.com

* Do I get logs of the things that people type into the box? How? Also the generated summaries, do I get logs of those? I would need to know what these LLMs are saying to my readers...

* Do I get access to the embeddings that you've generated for my site? (Probably not but I have some use cases where it'd be really cool if there are embeddings for my site "just out there" with no further work on my part needed.) Edit: assuming that embeddings are involved which I realized later might not be true...

* How frequently will you index my site? If your index is working off even a 1-week-old version of my docs, that could be a problem

* Will Kagi be doing anything with the user queries?

If google provides a credit limited to $300 for new accounts, then it has the ability to limit spend.

Show HN: I made a tool for easy code reviews
Hi HN! I really wanted an easy way to provide code reviews for the coding bootcamp students I mentor. I'd have loved to use github's pull request feature, but it wasn't really practical as there's a bit of setup to make that work. Plus, I want to review the whole codebase, not its changes.

So I made an app that allows me to pull down code, write comments/replies, and share it with my mentees. So far it's been super useful for sharing async reviews and even helping fix bugs (students will push their repo and I can comment on where the bug might be)

I'm planning on adding code navigation features similar to github's `go to reference` and maybe an LLM to answer questions or give suggestions about the codebase.

I figured it might be useful to others!
What was the secret sauce?
I think there’s an option somewhere to enable it, but yeah annoying it’s not default.
Discussion about things like erlang tend to go around in circles because people don't separate out the two distinct parts, the VM and the actual language. The language is niche and archaic meaning that libraries, tools, ecosystem and even syntax is a huge problem.

The VM is what people really want, but for some reason no one ever talks about using the VM with another language or cloning the VM for another language instead of trying to force the part that people don't want (language) with the part that works.
What do people who care a lot about latency do about this? Do they have no choice but to eat the cost of fork()?
Backend developers fear the frontend, it's why they say things like "I'm not artistic enough", "I have no design sense".

IMO if you are working on a standard business CRUD app, frontend is the more difficult and dirty work.
This is beside the point, but the only way an engine can possibly search to depth 20 is by being extremely selective, using heuristics to guess move quality (such as static exchange analysis, the killer move heuristic, history tables, countermove tables, follow-up tables, late move reductions, &c). The discovery was that it's often better to guess move quality dynamically, based on the observed utility of similar moves in similar contexts, rather than statically. But this is not especially "simple", and it still (necessarily!) involves judging up front a few moves as likely-good and the vast majority of moves as unworthy of further examination.

Both type A engines (to use Shannon's terminology) and type B engines are relatively weak. The strong engines are all hybrids.

Erlang wasn't opened sourced or released to the public until 1998.

The problem with not using Erlang and Elixir is that people are continually inventing a worse wheel. If you need a scalable system controlling many things robustly and reliably, anything built to solve that problem will be an approximation of the solution provided by Erlang/Elixir.

I think it’s generally understood to mean that you can consciously decide to do a specific thing.
