Humans did research and remembered sources before the Internet was a thing.

But also, can you give an example where an LLM with access to the Internet can find a primary source?

I don't think learning to refer to sources is something inherently impossible for LLMs, but it is very different to the kind of implicit knowledge they seem to excel at.

I very, very strongly disagree. If you hate the country you reside in so much, don’t show up to those events, or better yet, purchase a ticket to go live somewhere else that better suits you. I don’t have even the slightest bit of tolerance for that kind of apathetic, the-world-revolves-around-me attitude.

Sons had their legs blown off so you could be free to whine on an online forum about having to honor them for 60-seconds at sporting events you have the freedom to attend. Truly astounding.

What! Nonsense.
I agree -- I find such "padded" criticism condescending as well. It feels as if the commenter thinks I am not capable of emotionally handling basic factual feedback. Or (in the "wizen"/"wisen") example, not capable of understanding why spelling is important or of looking up meanings myself in a dictionary.

I do not take offense, because I know the commenter means well and is erring on the side of kindness, but personally I'd rather see "s/wizen/wisen/". It communicates no offense (by being low-effort on the part of the commenter), and respects both my ability to research on my own why I made this particular mistake, and my own motivation to correct the mistake.

Stick to the facts.

I assumed you were talking about Sun, and I read that as "extortion".

It reminds me of the vicious intimidation tactics that Sun executives made their poor sysadmin enforcers perform on their behalf, to ruthlessly coerce other reluctant executives and employees to run Solaris instead of SunOS!

I remember an all-hands meeting where Scott McNealy told everybody, "You're going to have to stop hugging your tree!"

After the meeting I went to my manager and demanded a tree: I never knew about any trees! Why did everybody get a tree but me? I want my tree! I promise I will not hug it.

So he gave me an old set of SunOS manuals.

But the radiative cooling is going to happen with or without the water. It is a different system operating within the same device. Routing air underground to cool it will work regardless of water, at least until things heat up underground, which can be a thing in low-conductivity soils.

Show HN: Reverse-Engineering a Switch Lite with 1,917 wires
Hey Hackers. This is a project I solo-developed that turns completed PCB assemblies into an easy to use boardview with some accompanying boardscans. There are lots of easier and better ways of doing this, but this is an experimentation to do it as cheaply as possible, with the highest quality and lowest chance of errors. The technical details are in the link.

Most public boardviews are almost entirely the result of industrial espionage, other than a few encrypted subscription based software platforms that provide extensive access. The process output is released as donationware, as my main concern is that even released as a low-cost purchase, there is a very strong culture to share this type of information at no cost. I would like to have a more sophisticated suggested donation system adaptive to user country, but I wasn't able to find a good solution.

In terms of 'good startup ideas', I don't think this is one of them. The very high level of soldering skill required makes it difficult to scale, and the prevailing piracy culture makes it challenging to monetize. My main advantage is that costs are very low now that I have the entire thing working. Other than forge ahead at a loss and hope for the best, or to pivot hard leveraging the imaging technology, I'm not sure what other options I have. It feels too complicated and repetitive for shoft-form video content. If you have any feedback, questions, suggestions, etc., I'd love to hear them.
I have three children, not unusual for my culture. My community's gardener has 14 children, low for his culture but he's still young. He's only on his second wife and he just passed 40 years old.

I think this is a sensible approach in some problem domains with software development being a particularly good example. But I think this approach quickly falls apart as soon as your „definitely right answer“ involves real world interaction.

And if one thinks about it, most of the value any company derives comes down to some sort of real world interaction, wether directly or by proxy.

Show HN: PyQuest – Python Cheatsheet and a Journey to the Land of Python
I've made another Python cheat sheet tutorial. Yeah yeah, nothing new, I know. But here's the thing:

The main idea was not just to write a wall of text telling about everything, but to make it interactive. So that everything would have its own example code snippet, which you could change, run, and see how it worked. And not somewhere in a web version, but on your own computer, in your own environment.

Fortunately, Python has the perfect tool for this - the Jupyter Notebook. That's why all chapters are written as separate notebooks and there is an example for each point (well, almost).

I originally aimed at complete beginners and tried to go from simple to complex, but I think I overdid it at some point. So it might be just as suitable to refresh knowledge and fill in the gaps for anyone.

It also has some useful information for Python-developer interview preparation and a link to the absolutely wonderful Tech Interview Handbook for Coding Interview preparation in case anyone missed it.

I would very welcome any constructive criticism, any advice, and of course contributions and GitHub stars :)

A little less, but still I will be glad to unreasonable hatred and comments that nobody needs it and that there are hundreds of similar projects on the Internet.
I think it is.

The entire premise of the article (as it seems to me) is to not worry about climate change and limited resources because adding more people will result in solutions to those problems. Unfortunately, there is no evidence given -- just intellectual babble.

The fact that food production has increased enough to allow most of us to survive so far does not imply that an increasing population can be indefinitely supported.
The article itself already brought that comparison, it's a pro-western outfit dumping on what they consider our adversary.

We could ask why articles like this have multiplied in recent years and that's interesting, but people here are just running with the implied comparison.
Funny you mention this. There was a time (in my living memory), where people regarded whatever in print as proof of correctness. Newspapers had value then.
(I am the video/page creator)

This is the eternal struggle of trying to write about something like this on the modern internet. The video is the flashy thing that gets attention (and revenue which allows me to do this as my job) but the written part is just talking into a void and hoping someone notices. I agree this type of information is best presented in text which is why I made an effort to produce a written component as well. But there's no way that article would have ended up linked somewhere like here.
Inflation was largely driven by companies utilizing price increases created by short term supply shocks, and making them permanent.

Pepsi controls 90% of the potato chip market.

6 companies provide ~80% of all products on the interior aisle shelves of your grocery store.

There is no universe where the quantity of money in pandemic stimulus even remotely approximates the total net price increase (inflation). Rather, the corporate net profit increase accounts for the vast majority of all inflationary pressures.
Also look into products for RVs. They are always looking for easy-to-install solar solutions. My advice would be to not put the fans on the roof, but somewhere sheltered like a gable end so you dont need to worry about waterproofing.
True. But there are a few paradoxes. Back in the days there was not a log to learn.. limited internet, basic html pages. I think people asking for too much is also backward. Good concepts don't come easy in a way. ... I guess there's a balance.

One thing that I wondered is how to make the manual more lispy/repl oriented.
Perhaps memory plays a much larger role in human intelligence, reasoning, and cognition than we give it credit for.
This is a fair question: LLMs do challenge the easy assumption (as made, for example, in Searle's "Chinese Room" thought experiment) that computers cannot possibly understand things. Here, however, I would say that if an LLM can be said to have understanding or knowledge of something, it is of the patterns of token occurrences to be found in the use of language. It is not clear that this also grants the LLM any understanding that this language refers to an external world which operates in response to causes which are independent of what is or might be said about it.

This discussion has inflated scope from "I don't like attending events because it's weird we're required to say a hymn or pledge" stated by one person.

> The correct response, if (as in this case) they were warned, is to say “someone did warn you, pay more attention next time”, then walk away[1].

In reality, this does far more harm than good. In almost all cases this goes wrong because of the 'little learning is a dangerous thing' problem. People tend to be in two camps:

- Don't care, don't want to fiddle with the thing, the manufacturer has to do everything

- Knowing just enough to break things, but not enough to fix it (and thus it is the fault of the manufacturer)

Other types like the 'I am the owner, I make the rules' crowd are insignificantly small.

This means that in the real world (so not in an echochamber) you only get one scaled and realistic scenario: the user creates problems (for themselves, others), but cannot fix them, and everyone/everything not-user then has to care for them to deal with it.

In an ideal theoretical world we might say that the end-user has to be responsible, and they have to make infinite mistakes and learn everything so they can become good caretakers of their networked systems. But that is not reality, and is not realistic.

Induction is "if this is possible for value X, then it is also possible for value X+1".

Where X isn't used as part of the step this is always true. Nothing I did depends on the size of either the input nor the truth table, so long as both are finite-size and so long as the truth table can be expressed as a function of the input.

An LLM is an arbitrary convolution of the input text; for any mapping, some function you can call an "LLM" produces that function.
I don't want more humans per se. I want more humans to have access to a life of dignity where their basic needs are met and there's absolutely no reason why every human currently on Earth can't have that. The only reason they don't is we choose to withold it from them.

Why? Capitalism. So a tiny few people can hoard even more wealth. Also, much of the talk around more people is strictly self-serving: to preserve and create even more concentrated wealth (by creating more humans to exploit) and the preservation of power structures by maintaining certain ethnic majorities.

In much of the world we have what I've seen called a "hopelessness crisis" and it goes well beyond people not having children because they simply can't afford to. Many people now believe they'll never have security so what's the point in doing anything? Particularly anything long-term. Why should someone who struggles to have enough to eat and put a roof over their head care about, say, the long-term risks of climate change? Particularly when we, as a society, have chosen to deny that person housing and food security. As a planet, we produce enough food to feed everyone and enough wealth to provide shelter for everyone.

Now this also touches on how many people the Earth could support. Many argue the Earth is overcrowded. That's simply not true. We're not far from the point where quite literally trillions of people could be supported comfortably on Earth.

however gql itself only walks from top to bottom, which lack the ability to change data after it's descdenants are resolved.

pydantic-resolve is progressive, this means you don't need to introduce a big framework to build a nested view data, all you need to do is just:

- simpilify your query of root data (no complex sql any more, then you can reuse it)

- define the related data you wanted, and then let resolver to fetch it.

Yes, the joys of fracking[2]! "The presence of certain contaminants commonly found in fracking wastewater — including bromide (which can create toxic by-products) and radionuclides, as well as Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) like salts (for which conventional wastewater treatment is largely ineffective) — are of major concern not only because of the potential impacts on rivers, streams and groundwater, but also for downstream water treatment plants, where conventional treatment technologies are not equipped to deal with such contaminants. " https://www.greenpeace.org/usa/fighting-climate-chaos/issues...

Both flowback and produced water may contain (PDF) heavy metals such as barium and lead (PDF), hydrocarbons, naturally occurring radioactive material, and incredibly high levels of salinity. Flowback and produced wastewater can also include chemical additive formulas, with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as benzene, ethylene glycol, methanol, and toluene. Between 2005 and 2013, the EPA identified 1,084 chemicals reported in fracking formulas: https://www.consumerreports.org/water-contamination/how-frac...

Wind: on average a wind turbine should be cleaned every 5 to 7 years to achieve maximum performance[1], so 3 - 5 times total in a ~25 year lifespan. This recommendation is from a wind turbine maintenance company, of course they'll recommend these kind of services, just like dealerships recommend changing oils every 3000 miles, when reality is you don't need them that often. I can't imagine wind turbines needing any cleaning with water that rains can't do.

Solar: Can't imagine anyone cleaning panels that would do a better job than rains. Most of the utility scale plants are in deserts, highly unlikely they have any water. A few utility scale plants may wash once or twice a year for better performance.

>your brain can be modelled as an LLM in the sense of the paper

The vast majority of people actually writing LLMs don’t claim this, and in fact, actually claim the very opposite: that LLMs do not accurately model a human brain in any capacity.

The fact is that science has no clue what happens in the nucleus of a neuron, so claiming that computer scientists must is… well. You fill in the word.

Magit is an extension of the old emacs outline mode, it inherits all the ergonomics culture around it (tab to fold, C-n/C-p for skipping, C-c C-c to validate..., k to kill). User studies don't apply here, it's too complex (due to the inheritance mentionned above). As I said, I have colleagues using other tools, they're slower and angrier, even with more buttons, which is somehow part of emacs culture.. don't create more widgets than necessary. And I'd argue it's irrelevant to good HCI for non mainstream duties.
My country also has a standard format (several actually). Ledger allows you to basically name any account anything you want, so you can follow that naming convention.

The standard alphabetic ordering of `ledger balance` isn't very useful. I created a small script to sort the output into a format where the entries are listed in a more sensible order. One solution could be (I haven't done this yet) is prefixing each account name with the number from the standard format, that should result in the ledger balance being more useful.
