> Honestly these pictures you posted do prove GP's point...

Sorry, which person's? HeatrayEnjoyer's? I don't think it does since there are a ton of mistakes. And the better ones come with a lot of work and a whole lot of experience. Or renegade-otter's (GGP)? I wouldn't call it a horror show, but I can see how others would. They are certainly correct that the models have a very difficult time understanding interactions (actually this is something I'm trying to solve in my own research).

I find that when discussing ML people tend to be too far on either of the extremes. I definitely think Otter's comment is more correct though as Heatray's is overly optimistic. Images are often fantastic if you only look at them with a glance. Scrolling through twitter or a blog or whatever. Often that's good enough though. But if we are to actually look with care, I think you start to see a strange unrealistic world. Sora's demos have been a great example of exactly this phenomena. They are all great. But if you look with care, all have errors that you'll probably be surprised you didn't notice before. You'll probably be surprised how bad of errors slipped right by. I think that's actually interesting in itself.

I think in these intellectual bubbles, people wildly overestimate how much the average person has any interest or knowledge in the kind of breadth things like HN and OvercomingBias offer. Polymaths are highly over-represented here. There are 18m people in Greater Los Angeles. How many are involved in anything close to the variety of topics HN and OvercomingBias ponder?
> To reduce stress:

> Exercise regularly. Cardio and strength training reduce stress levels and keep you mission ready.

> Get good sleep. Poor sleep or not enough sleep has a significant negative impact on wellbeing.

> Eat healthy. A good diet helps keep your body and mind in shape.

> Participate in relaxing activities. Breathing-based meditation and yoga, for example, can improve symptoms and reduce anxiety.

> Stay connected. The support of friends and family improves psychological health when facing stress
The places where the guilds had more power were less prosperous.
I think there was a very short time in human history where it was "the good life" where it was affordable and that was basically the 50s to the early 90s.

Other than that in human history things have been extremely hard.
it definitely is, yes to both, for both CPU brands, including first-party marketing. There is always a giant "overclocking voids warranty" footnote on those slides/decks, but... there is often not a "at max supported speed" bar or anything either...

It is a scummy little area of technical marketing, it's even in first-party marketing still. I think a lot of ink has been spilled over some real trivial/dumb shit but at least don't lead off showing your product running in an out-of-spec state unless it's clear that's what is doing on.

Fabric overclocking is suuuuper normalized on the AMD side too and it has the same problem. It's higher voltages, and a lot of those "24/7 safe" voltages aren't. On the order of years, under heavy load (not idled down) they do wear out.

I strongly feel like the absolute performance difference is not worth messing around with it anymore. Run ECC at the max supported clock and be done with it. Memory events go into event viewer/dmesg.

Well that's the thing, we really don't understand the long-term effects of SSRIs. PSSD[1] is a thing, reports of long-term anhedonia and/or emotional numbness after quitting SSRIs are widespread.

The parent poser never said anything about "evil big pharama mind control", however "pharma companies trying to make money disregarding long-term health of patients" is not a particularly narrow-minded view, anti-depressants are used to put people back to work disregarding their long-term health, and widespread over-prescription of SSRIs by physicians (not even psychiatrists), even to children, is a thing as well.

If 15 years ago, when I was 16, someone had told me that these meds would potentially make me lose the ability to feel pleasure, I probably would'nt haven taken them, but there was no such warning.
A big one, not touched on as much, was cost. The public lost the appetite to fund such outrageously expensive missions. The commercial program is helping lower those costs through novel approaches.

I believe the purpose of life is to create possibility. If that’s true, there will never be an incentive to work less so long as there is more possibility to be created (assuming that people are living purposefully, and it seems to me that those that don’t are evolutionarily selected against)
It could be, but given the sometimes astonishing costs of the—effectively—network protocol we know as cache coherency (thousands of cycles if you’re not careful), it’d be a giant waste in many of the cases where stackless coroutines would be perfectly appropriate.
>We don't build our world model fresh with every sentence someone says to us

Neither do LLMs. The state for the current text perhaps. Definitely not the entire world model(s) which is learnt from the training process and stored in its weights.

>They quite literally have no ability to have a "world model"

You keep repeating this so let's get one thing straight. You're wrong. You're just wrong. I'm not trying to convince you of my opinion. This has been empirically observed and tested multiple times.

You're literally saying absolute nonsense with a high level of confidence. When an LLM does this, somehow it's a "hallucination". Why are you different ?

I’ve used libaco in the past for coroutines in C. I found zlib a pain to use when using curl scheduled with libuv to fetch data. zlib expects a read loop to extract data, but libuv provides an evented push model. Saving all of the zlib state and building a state machine seemed tedious, but a coroutine made the zlib code look like the standard, blocking loop.

This was just code for my own amusement, and maybe used by a few people, for non-production work. I’d do it again, however, if I needed to.

It does mostly presume that you have things in common with your friends. At least it's not everything they read, only what they repost. Also, if something was reposted from 8 hops away by someone you don't know, you still see the OP's handle and can follow it.

The only value this brings is that it's much easier to hit "repost" on things you like than it is to go send links to everyone. People do this already, it's just awkward, and friends get annoyed from chat notification spam.

Multiply 30000 a year (a lower end US wage) by the number of people living in what the UN defines as poverty. That’s about two billion. You get 60 trillion dollars a year. That’s close to world GDP.

If you gave that out and those two billion people tried to spend it, you’d just get hyperinflation because there isn’t enough supply to match that demand.

We have a lot of abundance but not that much. Still fewer people as a percentage live in poverty by far than at any time in human history. It’s mostly going in the right direction. We’ve lifted a billion out of poverty in the last 20 years.
> Are you really trying to tell someone on HN not to be curious? I am genuinely wondering what cool thing they might be doing with that.

No, I'm not saying not to be curious. I'm saying your wording implied it was excessive for ordinary use, while it's very easy to reach.

> I mean none of my hardware goes over 1080p, and that my difference between 720p and 1080p is not big. My eyes are slightly better that the standard 20/20.

Okay then.

> I'm not aure why you say you would feel bad for me as your entire comment is meant to antagonize me.

I would feel bad for you if you were stuck with a 720p screen, and think you very much were missing something. How is that antagonizing? You're reading into things much more than I did.

Now that you clarify it's 1080, I'm not sure why you brought that up.
Texas runs their own grid, precisely to avoid federal government regulation.
There needs to be a law that, for any kind of Chinese seafood to be imported, foreign officials must be allowed to inspect the conditions. They already do it for food safety.

When espionage laws make other monitoring impossible, there can be zero trust in these companies to do the right thing. Allow detailed, random inspections, or your imports are blocked and you make no money.
Benefit is probably community and exposure, if you are worried about long term viability just use custom domain and keep backups.

I had a manager that would cry about pre-existing bugs in a piece of code that I added to but then when I squash bugs they'd cry that I'm rewriting everything. They also refused to answer questions (would say shit like, "I guess we will find out when you submit it") but would send things back for rework and sure enough my review stated that I require rework too often. Some managers are incompetent or downright malicious.
Amen. I have also rearranged attempts at building a "maze" that deliberately waste customers' time. If I'm in a shitty enough mood, I'll move entire displays so I can walk directly where I need to go without detouring around them (when it's clear that they are only arranged to be an impediment).

> You kind of proved my point.

Yeah I did say you were more right. But it was difficult to distinguish exaggeration from actual intent. You can check my comment history of me battling the common ML mindset. I love the area of study (I'm a researcher myself) but there's a lot of problems that even in the research community a lot want to ignore. It's odd to me. It's been hilarious to watch big names claim Sora understands physics. Or people think just because it doesn't understand physics that the videos aren't still impressive and even useful.

But with how you updated your language, I think we are in a very high level of agreement. You are perfectly right: no ML model "understands" anything. GPT doesn't understand how to code and image models don't understand how to... art(?) or do physics or whatever. They don't have world models. And I'm deeply frustrated that people think a single example of a accurately acting like a world model is proof and will do gymnastics to say a single counter example isn't. A single counter does disprove a world model and to understand you need to be able to self-correct. Hallucinations are fine but "are you sure?" should be enough to get it to reconsider, not double down or just switch. We can be fooled with setups, but we laugh at ourselves quickly because we self-correct fairly easily (or rather, we can).
> Reverse engineering closed-source software is generally legal, as I understand it,

Looking at the inputs and outputs and guessing the implementation is legal, but I guess the OP meand decompiling the executable and using the decompiled source that is ilegal.
AC was chosen because higher voltages are more efficient to transmit; a transformer that works with AC power can be made with some wire and an iron nail. To convert DC power semiconductors are needed that can switch quickly; those didn't exist for about 50 years after electricity was wide spread. toomuchtodo's deleted comment also adds: > (HV)DC requires less conductor per unit distance than an AC line, as there is no need to support three phases and there is no skin effect. AC systems use a higher peak voltage for the same power, increasing insulator costs.

"An estimate of the slave population in the middle of the second century, when the Republic was at its peak, was over fifteen percent"

The Romans couldn't have produced enough food with only 15% of the population. Not even close.

As for the Spartans and the Helots, isn't it interesting you have to go back 2000 years to a society of which very little is known? Spartans left behind very little writing, what we know of it comes from their enemies.

Bob Nystrom makes this argument best, I think, in his two-parter on loops and iteration[1,2]. Looping over data structures is of course only one example of how one can apply coroutines, but a very established one. The canonical problem requiring coroutines[3] is also essentially about doing that.

Or for those who want something different there’s the elevator (and elevator-userbase) simulation from TAoCP volume 1, also an essentially concurrent problem with little to no parallelism or I/O to it.

If Trump had simply called for investigations into the legitimacy of the election or requested recounts then yes I'd agree.

Putting together a slate of false electors, asking the VP to certify them, or calling states and asking them to find more votes however is not that.
True… state can get out of sync. But in general, I think this can be (and is?) handled with a heartbeat process. The compute nodes notify the central server of their status every X minutes (or get polled by the central node). Or even when the central server sends a job out, the state of the compute node could be queried as opposed to just assumed.

In general, you’re going to have something like this running anyway just to keep track of nodes that die unexpectedly.
I have no proof, but I suspect it's a firefox bug, as I've noticed other behavior that seems a LOT like: some process forces a tab to reload, but that trigger isn't fed to plugins (E.G. Dark Reader, and pages that are unexpectedly blindingly bright).

ATD might be useful as a way of triggering this behavior more reliably by exercising the discard and reload tabs.

Wow, I haven't thought about that site in quite awhile. I used to use it heavily.
Of scale? I would think not. I would say they are evidence against scale because they are more an argument for multi agent systems. Scale is about a singular framework. What that means is debatable though (I mean anything we call a singular network can be decomposed into sub networks. It's messy), hence the other part of my comment about not scale solutions being claimed as scale.
