LeCun is such a hack and is guilty exactly the same hype as OpenAI.

Firstly his insistence on “self supervised learning” which is just a wrong and unhelpful rebranding of existing methodologies. Followed by talking about VicREG as if it’s a meaningful contribution and not just hacked together crap which is not only theoretically unfounded but plain nonsensical. Followed again by his “JEPA” work which again is just a rebranding of other works like BYOL and data2vec.

Its so frustrating to see this guy pop up and try to claim credit for an entire field of representation learning which he hasn’t made a single meaningful contribution to in decades.
The following breaks my heart, as I love the ThinkPad keyboard, but it's just not worth it.

If your work is sensitive in any way, this is what you can expect from Lenovo:

> In February 2021, Bloomberg Businessweek reported that U.S. investigators found in 2008 that military units in Iraq were using Lenovo laptops in which the hardware had been altered. According to a testimony from the case in 2010, "A large amount of Lenovo laptops were sold to the U.S. military that had a chip encrypted on the motherboard that would record all the data that was being inputted into that laptop and send it back to China."

How is this company still allowed to do business in the USA? There are ThinkPads in the most important of places. Not just in government, but in research...

There are apparently no adults in the room, so make your own decisions.

Too many cars will just add to congestion and make the surrounding spaces less desirable. You could address this with a congestion charge, but that has problems of its own. Limits to parking in some key spots around transit can then be a workable alternative.

One could argue that when parties involved have so different population numbers, probably using the percentage of votes relative to a country population, instead of just number of votes would be a better solution.

Comment by the developer who attempted to create open firmware for RPi, https://github.com/christinaa/rpi-open-firmware/issues/37

> a lot of corners were cut to save time leading to what I believe is poor ARMv7+ Cortex IP integration (GIC, TrustZone, etc). So I stopped working on it. If those things were not the case (GIC working, "TZPCs" working, security working as intended, instead of NS forced to high on bridge, at least in my understanding) I would still work on it ...

ARM isn't a second class citizen on this platform, it's a third class citizen since BCM2709 (again this is an opinion) ... the features I wanted to tinker with the most are absent by design (cutting corners) and I'm not willing to resort to SW emulation of them through clever uses of the VPU.

Hopefully RPi 5 silicon offers a better foundation for open firmware.
Taxis are just awful for traffic: every journey they drive twice as far as a private car (need to drive to the customer first, then take them to destination) and they spend all day driving around, idling etc. Granted if they are actively driving around, they don't take parking spaces. But they increase congestion instead.
There are some things that are really annoying in raw SQL and that are much easier with ORMs. Dynamic queries are one of those, if you don't want to concatenate SQL strings yourself you need at least a query builder at that point. The other part is updating/creating entities with many relations, that gets very tedious quickly and is somethings ORMs can handle for you.

It depends a lot on the specific application, for me those things are so common that I prefer to use an ORM even though I could write the SQL myself. ORMs are easier to use, but you still need to learn what they do under the hood and understand them or you will run into issues along the way.

As someone who has had laser eye surgery and now apparently has permanently drier eyes my life is an indication that bright mode is worse for the eyes. If I sit in a bright room with a bright monitor my eyes hurt at the end of the day. Most of the time I don't notice it consciously during the day but the pain starts after the day is over. If I sit in a fairly dark room all day with low monitor brightness my eyes don't end up hurting. It's just how it is for me now, I wish I could sit in a bright room all day and simply turn the brightness higher on my monitor but it doesn't work.

The whole thing is just stupid.

I am reading Kuang's Babel right now, the Chinese version, published in China, by a publisher that would be called "state-owned" when it appears in a Western report.

I have read Neil Gaiman's work that was published the same way before.

And still, the Hugo people be like: let's censor them because they mention China.

But's let's still spotlight Robert Sawyer even though he wrote a whole trilogy that can't be more anti-PRC [1].

Meanwhile, a bunch of other people be like: Chengdu is China, Xinjiang is China, China doesn't do things to muslims in Xinjiang that the US and Israel do to muslims in the Middle East, so let's protest Sci-fi events in Chengdu!

And now we have a purge on the Hugo organizers.

Disclaimer: I'm a Chinese mainlander Sci-fi reader and I have a view on China that most of HN will likely disagree with.

Aquellum: A futuristic ecosystem in harmony with nature
Biologically speaking, the very reason of our existence is to make descendants, or contribute to society so others can make descendants, with intelligence being an evolutionary trait to increase the likelihood of our species surviving. Now, you are free to go against our biological imperative, but such stance can be considered a mental health problem in the sense that "mental health" exists for the very survival of the species.

One problem in your writeup is that it appears that you believe others should take your approach to living ("Life is a hellhole" instead of "My life is a hellhole"), which would lead to our species' extinction. Yes, life can be very tough, and long stretches of it can have more negatives than positives, but humanity has developed a wide range of tools to deal with that (psychotherapy, religion, support groups, community) so we can be relatively healthy and happy in the long run.

Here is a Dutch public service announcement showing some effective solutions to the recurring problem of "micturition syncope", that makes it necessary to pull bodies (usually men, often tourists) out of the dark dangerous canals of Amsterdam, including the "grachtenplastuit" and the "krachtige straal" techniques.

I really like the idea of running a watch on an sqlite table with my common cli tools.

That is the Pu238 isotope that is used in thermoelectric generators.

Most of the plutonium produced in nuclear reactors is Pu239. This is the isotope that is useful as nuclear fuel and for nuclear bombs. As another poster has already written, it has a half-life of 24 thousand years, so there is no chance to get rid of it easily, unless it is recovered and used as fuel.

There exists also the Pu244 isotope, with a half-life of 80 million years.

This isotope is produced only in negligible amounts in nuclear reactors, but it is produced in supernova explosions, so the Solar System and the Earth had contained plutonium besides uranium and thorium in the beginning, during the first few hundred million years of their history, but the plutonium has decayed until now.
Sometimes Twitter links won’t open for me now without being logged in. I’ve loved the change because it has helped me not use Twitter at all. This one opened for me though.
I personally enjoyed it a lot, although the later books were better.

The writing style wasn't brilliant, but it was a translation. I don't necessarily expect great literature from sci fi. The ideas were cool though and that's my main thing.
What is understanding though? I 'appear to understand' what a cat is, why does being human make it that I do so? What is the difference between making the correct associations and actually 'understanding' anyway?

> If you think its weird that a for profit company is making money and no one is complaining, its because everyone went into the deal knowing exactly what's what. No one was tricked or deceived.

The deal never included that they would appropriating the community content and selling it as their own, but that could try to make money from user-generated content, and in turn they would keep it as open as possible: an easy to use API, third-party clients, RSS feeds for every subreddit and even posts and comments, etc.

They changed the deal. People are right to be upset with the new terms.

> the city is much easier to navigate by car.

Cities stop being "easy to navigate by car" when they have too many cars around. And car-congested streets are also very hostile to bikes and pedestrians, so it's very hard to correct the problem once it gets ingrained. So it makes sense to give the latter uses high priority, and keep car use as a rare exception.
When CGI was introduced, film critics said they would never watch it, because the acting wasn't real.

I know I'm likely the minority here, but I really dislike heavy use CGI films, like a LOT.
No. There are other ways it could play out.

In an ideal world Russia could admit defeat and go home.

More realistically it looks like a bit of a stalemate and they may have a N Korea like ceasefire. Or Trump will get in, give the occupied lands to Russia and a similar cease fire.

US estimates of Ukrainian deaths so far are ~80k, or 0.2% of the population so we are a long way off the last Ukrainian.

Also the recent Ukrainian strategy of taking out Russia's oil refineries seems quite promising. Eventually Russia may get fed up and do something else https://uk.investing.com/news/economy/factboxrussian-oil-fac...

I'm reminded a bit of the fighting between Britain and the IRA. For a long time the IRA said we want this and that and killed people and it didn't achieve much as the Brits said we won't give into terrorism. Then the IRA switched tack and blew out the windows in London's financial district which didn't kill people but was massively expensive and led on to the peace process. It's probably easier to figure a deal when it's about money rather than killing each other.
I hate this and think it’s ideas like this that are dangerous. Thinking like this is discriminating against lower socioeconomic status individuals. This works well for the commuter going to downtown SF for their 9-5; taking weekend trips with a zip car. What about people who don’t work 9-5, or have a job that is not an easy bart hop away. Ideas like this are just has bad as the authors interpretation of past laws.
Microblogging is a failed experiment. What a detriment to humanity.
Understanding, in this context, is what humans do, by definition. Until you have a concrete definition of what understanding is you can't apply it to anything else. Informal definitions of understanding by those who experience it aren't very useful at all.
A bonus is that typically only good games get those 'complete' or 'director's cut' editions so you won't be wasting time on crappy games.
No, the kill switch is a literal electronic connection to the pin on the WiFi card that tells the firmware on that card to disable itself. ACPI may provide an alternative mechanism to trigger the same pin, but that doesn't mean ACPI can be modified to disable the physical switch.

(What may actually be happening is that they switch is telling the embedded controller to toggle the WiFi card pin, in which case modifying the EC firmware might let you achieve the desired outcome, but that's still not an ACPI hack)
libblkio, used by qemu for some block storage, uses it. Independently, qemu also uses io_uring for some Linux file operations.

My experience with io_uring is that it requires a fairly fundamental change in the way you architect software, which makes it hard to retrofit it to existing code (eg. code using poll). If you have a greenfield project that requires very high performance and will only/mainly run on Linux then you should strongly consider it. I'd actually love to hear peoples' thoughts on whether there is a good way to retrofit code.

>survival of the species

Whether I make kids or not has absolutely no practical bearing upon the survival of the species. In fact, we're having overpopulation problems. The species will survive regardless of my choice. (I admit I still won't have kids if I along with a mate were the last remaining homo sapiens, I'm just not interested and the planet will keep spinning.)

I can also contribute to survival of the species by helping others' kids I come across during my life.

Counterintuitively, my choice to end my bloodline can also improve survival of the species because it's less mouths waging war down the line.

>One problem in your writeup is that it appears that you believe others should take your approach to living

The recent takeover of rye by the guys doing ruff[1] has some likelihood of rendering the python typing and packaging scene into something more coherent.

It's a chicken and egg problem. But remember an egg by itself wouldn't survive, and a single chicken in isolation can't produce a viable egg.
What type of app can afford to run on Linux (not bare metal) but still needs such low level performance optimizations?
the sunlike levels that are natural and can affect your seasonal depression are 10 kilolux and up; direct sunlight is 100 kilolux. typical indoor illuminance levels (one bright lightbulb per ten square meters or so, such as a 100-watt incandescent or 10-watt led) are closer to 80 lux: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lux#Illuminance

from this, you can easily calculate that, to illuminate the room to natural, seasonal-depression-affecting levels, you need on the order of 100 lightbulbs in a room that size, which will produce about a kilowatt of heat, similar to an electric space heater ('bar fire' in the uk)

(to calculate it another way, a lux is a lumen per square meter, a 10m² room has about 60m² of surface area, and a typical bright lightbulb emits 1000 lumens, so assuming no directionality and black walls and ceiling, you'd need about 600 of them to reach 10 kilolux. you need less than that because the walls do in fact reflect most of the light that falls on them and the bulbs do in fact have some directionality)

this is clearly an achievable project, and there are several people who have done it, and they report good results. however, 99% of the people reading this comment have never in their lives seen a room illuminated this brightly except through a large skylight, such as in a greenhouse

i've thought about undertaking it myself, but with a couple of tweaks:

- rather than illuminating an entire room to daylight levels, i'd like to try using one of those indoor grow closet things that people sell for growing marijuana, one that's big enough to sit inside of. that way i can use only a few thousand lumens instead of hundreds of thousands of lumens, which greatly reduces not only the materials cost but also the heat removal problem

- lumens are more than an order of magnitude cheaper from fluorescent tubes (not cfl lights—the straight tubes) than from leds, and though the efficiency suffers, it only suffers marginally

- light-emitting monitors, even the current ones whose brightness people are complaining about, are not bright enough for comfortable reading in outdoor environments; if you want to use a computer in there, you need a transflective or reflective screen of some kind

if you're interested in undertaking this project for yourself, my past notes and calculations on the subject are in https://dercuano.github.io/notes/10klux-led.html and https://dercuano.github.io/notes/illumination-cost.html
This seems even more hard to believe and requires even more extraordinary evidence.
The change in what’s happening is important. The original social contract just assumed it would always be private. Now that’s changing. Possibly if the notion was built in that the public health system would reserve the right to effectively monetise your data… the entire genesis of it would have happened differently. I’m not saying it’s wrong. I’m saying changing the rules halfway through means you can’t appeal to the original contract.
400 sq ft sits comfortably within the "tiny home" range. It is quite peculiar in a way, but absolutely not "unlivable" in an absolute sense.
no standard recommends illuminating workplaces at natural 10-kilolux levels for lathe machinists or computer users; most monitors are unusable in such an environment
No.

What part of your anatomy did you pull that silly strawman from?

But I do assert the the current change in global climate parameters as observed over the past 50 years are overwhelmingly due in toto to human activity driven changes to the atmosphere.

I catagorically reject that extra planetary changes account for more than a tiny percentage of those changes.

I catagorically reject that changes in heat from the core has had any significant effect during that time period.
