If there is only one solution, no progression, and each of the three words is meant to be commonly known, then what is the point in adding an input field to check whether I have the correct answer?

If I have my three letters, then I can easily see for myself whether or not my guess is correct just by looking at the screen; the input field does not help me at all.
A niche mainframe game from 1971, and its successors like BSD Trek, were flying way below the radar of any lawyers back then. Even through the early/mid-80's, developers took great liberties with IP and largely got away with it. (Regard the "Prisoner" game from 1980 [1].)

I remember buying a C64 port of Trek off the shelf at Target in the mid-80s which was clearly not licensed. I don't think anyone could get away with that today. :)

I have experience with both the FrogPad and the Matias Half Keyboard (I paid $95; now $595). The Frogpad never caught on with me.

https://matias.store/products/half-keyboard

The Matias Half Keyboard is based on a theory that our minds mirror each hand, so by holding the space bar to access the missing half keyboard, we already know what to do. I was skeptical. Recognizing that we're modal (do we even recognize that telephone keypads and numeric keypads are different, or do we just use them without thinking?) I decided to learn Dvorak on the half keyboard while continuing to use QWERTY on my full keyboards.

One day, on a lark, I tried Dvorak on a full keyboard. I could, easily. The mirror theory holds.

Uhoh, is my copy pasta in danger of being snuffed out before anyone is served it?

Look, I get how some people would consider it spam. However, the problem still remains and the solution has not changed!

I have a life to live and can't spend every waking moment crafting a unique comment every time I need to reply to someone.
Yeah, not having bookmarks is probably Arc’s biggest weakness. I find bookmarks useful too, but only add them when I know I’m going to keep them around for a while.

Tags might work well but the friction involved is likely too high for me to consistently use them. It’s easier to just keep anything remotely short term in tab form.
> there is a lot you said that isn't how the Buddha presented things at all.

especially as you're making such a critically important claim about human life, would you please be more specific about anything that you claim I got wrong. I take this seriously so I would be very surprised to confirm that you're right.

> This is the best description of enlightenment

I don't want to discourage you from talking with me, but I didn't find anything particularly useful and contributive in the story koan.

The definition of enlightenment is to open one's eyes to reality.
somebody who is actually enlightened, can tell you exactly how things are in reality and you can check them.

"before enlightenment, it's hard to see the truth. After enlightenment, it's hard to see falsehood"

If you're not enlightened, try to be careful how you speak about the truth because you might accidentally compromise your future happiness and peace.
> Informally known as Lake Manly, the fleeting pool is about 6 miles long, 3 miles wide and just 1 foot deep.

That's about 1.421e10 liters of water, which WolframAlpha tells me is 3.5% of the volume of all living humans, and coincidentally the United States has about 4% the world's current population, so this lake has approximately as much volume as the population of the US. (Calculating the deviation in volume between the average American and the average human left as an exercise for the reader.)

(Groq Employee) You're right - we are comparing to independently-clocked logic.

I wonder whether async logic would be feasible for reconfigurable "Spatial Processor" type architectures [1]. As far as LPU architectures go, they fall in the "Matrix of Processing Engines"[1] family of architectures, which I would naively guess is not the best suited to leverage async logic.

1: I'm using the "Spatial Processor" (7:14) and "Matrix of Processing Engines" (8:57) terms as defined in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUPWZ-LC0XE. Sorry for a video link, I just can't think of another single reference that explains the two approaches.
Ask HN: Why don't we use two mice at once?
I always wondered why two mice aren’t an option for the vast majority of operating systems. Imagine how fast one could operate a computer with two cursors, clicking on one part of the UI while moving their mouse to the next.

I understand adding support for two cursors at the OS level might be tricky, but how hard can it be?

This is a legal clarification. Impersonation has always been illegal, but they didn't specify AI because they didn't exist back then, so now they do.
You're saying that anything that isn't using "democratic elections" is Fascist, and that makes no sense.

> It would be obvious if a strike came from an extraterrestrial source, there would be no terrestrial launch detection.

There would be no launch detected, that is true. That doesn’t mean that it would be obvious that the attack was extraterestrial. The alternative hypothesis would be the that the known terrestrial enemies developed some technique to confuse your sensors, or cloak themselves, or bribe your watchdogs, or pre-position warheads in space, or any other similar deception. People would be sooner thinking that their enemies smuggled nukes in overland than to think that aliens attacked them.

are there also experiments around image embedding generation to use in combination with the LLM?

For those who is interested, as mentioned in the article, Gleam is already near v1 (v1.0.0-rc2)! And in a recent talk[1] Louis shared the idea, that there won't be major changes to the language anymore, and the main focus now is switching to the tooling!

There's a talk by a Nvidia scientist I just saw where he talks about compute efficiency in terms of flops/joule and explicitly mentions vectorized instructions as one of the energy savers. I'll see if I can find it.

Edit: found it (I think) I can't remember where in the presentation but he does mention energy efficiency as a proxy for performance. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kLiwvnr4L80

Edit 2: about 26:40 he starts talking about energy use in the context of performance.

Except that the US has the space and many/most people don't choose to do so--at least full-time.

Even in places where the wealthy had to live in the city, they often had summer places (in particular) elsewhere.

If you don't need to live in a city, for a lot of people (including myself), it makes a lot of sense to live elsewhere and go in for things.

I could live in a city but I have no particular reason I have to. So I choose not to at this point in time. Which is true of most of my friends as well.
One thing I noted from the FOSDEM talk is that even though Qualcomm supports mainlining through Linaro, it's done based on existing code (both NDAed and public) and there's close to no documentation provided neither publicly nor privately to the devs. When you'll happen to work on that code in the future in mainline Linux trying to catch some bug, all you'll have to cross-check things with may be the same buggy code you try to fix - so in the end it's just like it would be reverse engineered, but without all the notes that community may have produced while trying to understand the thing.

The Magic, the Money, and the Madness
This is my understanding.
A species' discovery is never about first "seen", it's first described. There's no way to know whom first saw it.

Your assumption regarding splitting known species is wrong as it comes to numbers. It often happens for birds but this doesn't move the needle as there's only 10K birds.

Almost every species on this planet is an arthropod and most are not described. It's trivially easy to "discover" new ones. Go to a bio-diverse area (say a jungle) and fill a wheelbarrow with soil. Filter the dirt and describe anything you find. It will take you forever but there will be dozens if not hundreds of "new" species. The main bottleneck is not finding them, it's describing them, which is very time consuming.

Put some specialized lights up in the same area at night. One remote site I attended in Colombia discovered on average 20 new species of moth every single day. There's expected to be 150K moth species, which still may be an underestimation.

And this doesn't even describe the truly tiny organisms living in soil and rivers and oceans.

As it comes to species, the public has a bias for mammals and birds. Combined they're about 17-18K species only. Not even a drop in the ocean. You can split each of them into 10 separate species and this still doesn't do anything to inflate the total amount of species.
we can't legislate it away, but we can throw the book at people who do. i don't understand why the knee jerk cynical response is "why bother," as if that will make the problem better.
If you have to ask you're not ready to go out on your own. Get a new w2.
Because it’s highly effective.

You just slap a topology on things and you get an effective type theory that gets mostly good results which allow you to elide most of the complexity. This in turn allows you to reason about more complex things at a loss of fidelity — what we call abstraction.

If you think being able to recognize a forest rather than be overwhelmed by the number of leaves on trees is useful, then you understand why humans do that.
I think it may be the kind of work that you do too. It seems his work is well suited to his system. He can manage his own tasks, and the actual complexity of the work is stored in other systems and documents (like research papers).
I've taken the liberty of s/Mexican/Spanish/ing your comment. I hope that's what you wanted!
Most games, near as I can tell, the version on the DVD/BluRAY for the initial release is pretty much never finished - often
barely playable. Even at 'release' date, the initial update is often at least as large or larger than the data on the DVD/BluRAY.

So possible? Sure, almost anything is possible with enough work and tradeoffs. It just isn't economical or likely actually faster given current bandwidth constraints and how they're distributed.

Especially if you consider that if there is network play, they'll have to be up to date anyway or most games won't let them connect, so 'offline' play is going to be a relatively rare situation. So why optimize for it?
There’s a trick with phantom limb pain and mirrors as well.
I've heard of R and this was one of the things I thought of first.
It didn't work because it was free, it worked because you had to pay something more like dollars per page you published to host content than like pennies per thousands of pages.

For quite a long time, other than exceptions like geocities, you had to pay to publish your own content.

its the tariffs, anything not built in the US is insanely hard/impossible to import so they cost a bunch more, but you have a local auto industry. in aus, for example, we flat out don't have such an industry anymore (still mad about holden) and that was in part due to imported vehicles being cheaper

I can't imagine another cocktail party where my own one handed keyboard would be relevant, so here it is:

https://github.com/trevorjay/Handler

It's chorded, (based on the https://ardux.io/ layout), but I don't think chorded is really that hard to learn if you're actually willing to give it a week or two (which you have in any situation where you need a one hander).

The key (ha) I've found is that you want the keys to be as easy to press as possible while providing feedback. The Twiddler, https://twiddler.tekgear.com/ , is great for this as it uses light tact switches, but it has reliability issues.

This is a great project. Of all my one-handed experience, I never got to try a FrogPad because of the expense. Having a software implementation of the FrogPad is awesome.
But the jobs aren't the only nor primary benefit.

Don't forget that TSMC was essentially a government enterprise when it started.

Be cynical if you want, but the one thing that has a 0% track record of effective results is calling every government function wasteful, corrupt, and untrustworthy and responding by dismantling government institutions and investments.
I think SQLite is a promising approach. Thanks.
Thanks. Appreciate the tips.
you are thinking about this the wrong way - the question you should be asking yourself is why do you need a mouse at all in 2024… it’s been 65 years since mouse was invented…
A question I asked myself when I first created it. Some people will be annoyed by that, some won't. It's fine if you're the former! but the fact is, without an input field, there's no way to verify that your solution is accepted and mark the puzzle as completed.
Why not respond to the comments you feel are poorly constructed directly rather than posting what looks like a copy pasta. Some of the items in your list seem like strawmen, because I cannot even find these arguments in this thread as you state them in your list.

For example let's take 4

> 4. "People are just anthropomorphizing computer programs." No, critics are anthropomorphizing intelligence.

There literally was someone comparing the problems with current ML models to childhood development in this thread. How is this not anthropomorphizing LLMs? It is true human cognition is poorly defined, so the comparison is not very useful to begin with. Which is why anthropomorphizing ML models is problematic. If someone makes a fantastical claim they need to provide strong proof to support it.
I can imagine that in under 5 years, the movie's script plus one example still photo for each scene could do the job.
And yet either way it still would not, IMO, be as significant a point as you think.
It's funny that even in 2013 people were already complaining that articles sounded like AI.

Yeah I can't defend the existence of caffeine pills. They're actually dangerous and you could just drink coffee instead.

Sure, if I spent more than half a second deciding if I want to click something, which I usually don't. This isn't "I can't tell this is Erlang without clicking". This is "there are no obvious signs that it's Erlang without clicking".

“Langauges such as Rust and Go do not have this problem, mainly because they don’t have the new keyword!”

Oh but they do. You should spend some time with those languages so you can do a proper comparison.

Go has had new for a while now.
Okay, now prove that please.

I was trying to present a crappy philosophical point – that the difference between a gullible AI and an unaligned one is fundamentally unknowable.

Any evidence you point to as proof that an AI is bad at reasoning, I can point to as evidence of misalignment. Like I say, whether the AI acts "gullible" because it lacks reasoning ability or is too trusting really just depends on your perspective. I happen to share your perspective on this, but not everyone does – and in my opinion this is interesting.

Anyway you're wrong. AIs do have values because they have bias and bias = values. I'm not suggesting those biases / values come from deeper reasoning ability, or that they're always perfectly consistent, but if you ask GPT-4 whether being a racist is a good thing 99% of the time it's probably going to say no. That is a bias / value that it's be given. Likewise GPT-4 has been given the bias / value of being a helpful chatbot so if you ask it a question it will try to answer it in a helpful way, and sometimes it's helpful bias / nature is abused.

But feel free to respond with some more assertions that I've heard a million times already with zero evidence that offers absolutely no value to this conversation.

You can create an account and get 50 pages to test for free on your own documents. No training is needed. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
1. Build a scraper for LinkedIn for all the data that can be accessed by users and companies with or without paid accounts. Do the same for Glassdoor, Github, so you can cross correlate the data. Don't run the scrapers yet.

2. Design a backend for all that data, and design a clean and responsive UI that doesn't rely on 50MB of data loaded with each page load. Should work very fast on web and mobile. The site should be basically better than LinkedIn. Things I would focus on:

- Better candiate showcase than just simple resume. Allow for linking of github with summary widget, allow to upload videos, allow some human reviewed content (like proof of employment, proof of salary, e.t.c), iframes displaying own user website, and so on.

- Automatic job postings for candidates that can be tied to their backend, some automated interview process that companies can define leveraging LLMs for design and verifications.

- Something like Discord that people set up for companies, with automatic discovery, good privacy, e.t.c.

- Freelance integration capability. I.e something like Amazon Turk or Fiver. In between jobs? Easily complete bounties, or have companies reach out to you for temp contract work.

3. To get people over, the idea is that you a) pay them to switch over and b) pay them for actions that cause others to switch over. This can be done in may ways. You can for example set up a token based system where users can earn tokens for doing actions, then sell those tokens to you for a given price. You can distribute tokens backed by some of your funding/revenue, and also charge some price for users to buy new tokens that correspond to be able to do premium actions.

4. Before launch, run the scrapers, set up some initial database to ease the transition of users, with all the scraped accounts being in the system as unclaimed. This will make the experience better since users can largely access the same data without having the respective entities sign up, and also encourage users to message their connections to sign up and claim their accounts (for some tokens of course).

Overall this should encourage users to transition over. You can also leverage things like posting freelance "gigs" to improve the site, which not only gives you ability to run leaner with less dedicated employees, but also to now capture the developers that write plugins for your site as users which then have experience displayed in their profile which companies will find valuable.

If you actually do this, msg me.
There is no evolution or trait selection involved in the training of LLMs. LLMs are statistical estimators of most likely next series of tokens. Those next series of tokens seem anthropic because most of the input was human generated text.
I just tried ChatGPT to generate some Malloy snippets and compared to SQL, it’s very basic. It’s probably not a huge lift to teach it the library by scanning the docs but still the reasoning with SQL is much sophisticated given that there are tons of training data.
I think you're not being charitable in the interpretation.

It, almost certainly, will be in later stages of emulating human cognition. If not, then AI winter is already here.

It's trivial and legitimate to relate capabilities of AI to those in that table. Because, again, emulating human cognition is the stated goal of most AI research happening right now.

An AI's capabilities, progressing in that table, does not mean it's human. It means the stated objectives, and all the hard work, and money spent, is on track. It's not a goal to match that table. It's not a goal to end in a human. But, more and more of the table will turn green, as the goal is completed. I'm not understanding the hesitance of using a human metric for a product whose goal is to match human metrics.
