I have a side project that aims to organize your ebook highlight collections with on-device semantic search. [1] Right now it only indexes your own content but I'd like to add a mode that allows you to share your collection and let others find relevant ideas via semantic search -- a discovery platform for ideas found in books. It's open source if you want a sense of how it works now. [2]

What I see "on the ground" in the U.S. is consistently different than what I see covered by news outlets. There is reporting of "organized" crime like smash and grabs that don't track with my experience. There is reporting of the theft statistics being fabricated which doesn't track with my experience.

The small business owners I know talk about an increase in theft. They're getting squeezed between increased costs from their supply chain (inflation), increased commercial rent (commercial real-estate bubble), lower sales, and vandalism/theft.

This is all an availability heuristic, but it looks like small businesses are getting hammered right now on all fronts when they need to be rebuilding after surviving the COVID lockdowns.

Its not just retail theft either. I'm seeing an increase in stuff going missing around neighborhoods. Things getting taken from side yards. Cars getting robbed in the middle of the night. People driving off from garage sales without paying.

Whether the numbers agree with what I see, I don't know, but it definitely feels like people are taking stuff that isn't theirs at a higher rate.

And, when it comes to theft, there are definitely signs that we are moving closer to a low-trust (zero-trust) society. That isn't desirable IMO.

My grandparents grew up in a high trust society. Until recently, they never locked their doors. Their neighbors would stop by their house and just walk in. "The door is always open" literally meant their door was always open, just come in and say hi.

Low trust societies try to think through all the ways people are going to screw you over and try to stay one step ahead. Merchandise is all behind lock-and-key. Cameras/tech track every product through the store to make sure its paid for. Etc.

On the street, a low trust society means people aren't willing to help. People aren't empowered to step in to maintain trust when things go sideways. People don't intervene when you're getting robbed. People don't stop and ask if you're okay when you're slouched against the wall on the sidewalk. People don't perform CPR because of liability.

Low trust societies suck. They're dangerous and scary.

It feels like we are losing the community structures that enable high trust societies to function. That's not really the world I want to leave to my children.

Yeah, that was the most interesting point for me as well. If you view it through a management lens, it makes sense; "we hire top CS people, let them do the top CS problems, JDBC drivers aren't a core competency so we can outsource that."

The problem is that people can do a bad enough job at the non-core stuff that it doesn't matter that you're good at your core competency. Outsourcing is not a free ride.

We offer comprehensive import/export functionality, ensuring seamless transfer of reports between environments. Moreover, workspaces allow you to segregate test and production environments or create unique environments for each client, allowing easy report customization. While reports are simply JSON files, which could theoretically be stored on the file system and checked in, doing so would hurt the flexibility we're trying to achieve.

By far the biggest speed complaint I have about Firefox is not in everyday use, but whenever I restore a previously saved session - it basically stops reacting for a few minutes(!) before eventually I can use it again. I suppose it's due to the anti-virus interfering with some kind of memory image or whatever but whatever it is, it's so annoying.
Nice editor. I'm not sure how it compares to professional ones, but it was more than enough to make some video compositions when I needed it and it was easy to use and figure out.

I saw this on Tumblr a few days ago, and can happily report that it does seem to work. The test case was searching for images of "serval" (a kind of wild cat), and the addition did indeed clean up the results. Somebody else had suggested adding "-AI" instead, but AFAICT it did nothing. Kind of sad that Google can't/won't address this themselves in any way that seems to make a dent.

So we tried to get SOC-2 certified before writing a single line of code. Of course it doesn’t make any sense as by definition SOC-2 requires the existence of a software product.

It matters while we work on electrifying cars. If they own the home, but don't have an outlet is different than if they rent and the property manager doesn't want to install a charger. Laws were passed in the US that required renters access to satellite tv and if property managers are the hold up it's important information to know.
I recently booked an Amtrak trip for my family from Trenton, NJ to Kissimmee, FL for a Disney vacation. There are 7 of us, so we qualified for a decent discount. It ended up being just under $150 per person round-trip. We chose Amtrak because my dad cannot fly due to some medical issues. For the week we're traveling, it's significantly cheaper than airfare, we get more space, more bags, and it feels like an adventure.
There is no consensus on what the "S" stood for, and Apple never officially made any statement on the matter. "Successor" or "Second" or "Speed" all more or less fit, but there's no real answer.

Generally, "S" just indicated a marginal upgrade over the base model.

The "issue" is Julia is not Just-in-Time, but a "Just-Ahead-of-Time" language. This means code is compiled before getting executed, and this can get expensive for interactive use.

The famous "Time To First Plot" problem was about taking several minutes to do something like `using Plots; Plots.plot(sin)`.

But to be fair recent Julia releases improved a lot of it, the code above in Julia 1.10 takes 1.5s on my 3-year old laptop
We (outside Wireless) heard the Intel silicon didn't perform/yield and the original designs became infeasible, prompting a sudden mad scramble. I didn't realise it was originally planned to be FPGA-based. Interesting, thanks.

"The score is a rescaled version of inverse time" is the key here.

If you run all the tests in half the time, your Speedometer score will double. If your score improves by 1%, it implies that you are 1% faster on the subtests.

(There are probably some subtleties here because we're using the geometric mean to avoid putting too much weight on any individual subtest, but the rough intuition should still hold.)

Ah, thanks, I changed it to a Box. I confused the two, since I had to use them in conjunction.
I don't really hate contemporary architecture, because postmodern architecture at least has some variety and style to it. Modernism (especially but not limited to Brutalism) is just soulless, totalitarian, oppressive, and depressing.

It's also ironic for the author to claim that a style which peaked 100-130 years after the beginning of the Industrial Revolution is somehow the fault of global capitalism, as if global capitalism hadn't been a thing for 100+ years by the 1950s.

And of course even though the author is claiming that the left has flaws in their approach to architecture, they still have to make the obligatory supplication about the right's alleged "ulterior motives."

For all the severe flaws in Modernist architecture, this article seems a bit of a hash, honestly. The author seems trapped inside their own ideological bubble.

Edit:

> It should be obvious to anyone that skyscrapers should be abolished. After all, they embody nearly every bad tendency in contemporary architecture: they are not part of nature, they are monolithic, they are boring, they have no intricacy, and they have no democracy. Besides, there is plenty of space left on earth to spread out horizontally; the only reasons to spread vertically are phallic and Freudian.

Oh, good effing grief.
Yeah, there are definitely different interpretations of 'edge' by market. I think, for smaller businesses, there's not really a need for heavy computing at the edge. For them, traditional PCs or tower servers can handle the load just fine.

And any business that is large enough (e.g. 'fortune-1000-type' or anything close to it) to need heavy compute at the edge also can afford a network closet with a 42u in it.

I just think there's not really much of a market between "I need more than this PC can do" and "We don't have a network closet"
Imagine for a second you’re a Unix user, familiar with the rm command.

Imagine you are using windows for the first time and you want to delete a directory, so you find an answer on Serverfault that explains that to do so you need to spin up a COM object that marks the directory for deletion, then the next day comes back and deletes it.

You might be inclined to say ‘that seems overly complicated’.

The original answerer is confused though. ‘It’s trivial, stop being silly. Can you think of a simpler way to delete a directory?’

Do you see now why I thought the ‘non triviality’ of deleting an S3 bucket was perhaps relevant in a discussion on an article about why S3 is both simpler and more complex than a file system?

And why your approach might not actually be making the case for it being as simple as you think?

I've probably spent too much time on the internet, then, because I definitely wouldn't have interpreted your original post as an honest question without having seen the clarification in your followup comment. Probably a defense mechanism built from past pain caused by my assuming good faith and then being ridiculed from the non-honest-question-asker.

But with that nastiness out of the way - I looked back at your original question and thought "seems like the kind of query Kagi would eat for breakfast". Here's what it responded to your question: https://kagi.com/search?q=What%27s+the+quote+about+optimizin...

Specifically, the "what" at the start and the "?" at the end triggered the LLM-powered quick answer at the top (and it passes the smell test for correctness).

To Google's credit, it also returns reasonable results for this question.
I think a baseline spec would be really useful.

I like to think of it like the unist ecosystem for ASTs. Unist provides a baseline spec that compatible tools can use to comb an AST. Then, specific AST tools like hast for HTML or sast for CSS/SCSS can add their own metadata on top.

I'm imagining an ecosystem of "adapters" that would help you translate some of the metadata across providers.

It's not entirely orthogonal; RAID5 plus stripe-level CRC (or better) can reliably correct bitrot at any single position in a stripe whereas RAID5 alone can only report an error. My guess is that S3 and other large object stores have the equivalent of stripe-level checksums for this purpose.
ACs tend to dehumidify the interior space. If they're properly installed all the condensation will drain outside. For window-mount ACs, you may need to shim them to get them to sit at the correct angle. For split ACs, the drain tube needs to be angled to allow water to flow out through the wall.

I've always wanted to build an infinite canvas idea to try it out, but whenever I've used implementations of it (such as in the Muse app), it just feels wrong. It feels like a beautiful way to interact with essentially fractal information, but in practice it doesn't quite work to me.

I agree with you that I don't think it maps well to the mental model of the brain. Seeing the youtube video link in the sibling comment, when the user is completely zoomed out and can see everything, I just feel overwhelmed looking at it all. Maybe it's the nature of the boxes having different scales that you can't compare them as easily to each other compared to just a regular canvas where things just place in two dimensions. Each time you zoom into a canvas, the transition causes a lost sense of place and space, akin to walking into a doorway to a room and wondering why you walked there to begin with.

But that would bring down the numbers.
The T distribution arises as the ratio between a Gaussian r.v. and the square root of a Chi-square r.v.:

X ~ Gaussian(m, v)
S ~ ChiSquare(n)
T = X / sqrt(S / n)

The sampling distribution of the sample mean is Gaussian whenever the data is Gaussian, or whenever the CLT applies.

The sampling distribution of the sample variance is Chi-square whenever the data is Gaussian. But the CLT does not have any effect here. In general there isn't much else that we can say about the sampling distribution of the sample variance.

Thus if we want to compute a "sample Z statistic" using those estimated quantities, and we know the data is Gaussian, then we know the sampling distribution of that "sample Z statistic". It's the T distribution.

But the assumption of underlying Gaussian data is important here. The CLT doesn't help us derive a T distribution. But it is true that our "sample Z statistic" is asymptotically Gaussian, in which case the T distribution itself is approximately Gaussian. [0]

So a "T test" (meaning "test of a difference in means"), using the actual T distribution as the null distribution of the test statistic, is basically never valid on non-Gaussian data. But it's valid (asymptotically) using the Gaussian distribution as the null distribution of the test statistic.

That's a lot of reasoning to say: `avg(y) / sqrt(var(y) / n)` could be either T or Gaussian, depending on the assumptions and context. But I would push back on conflating that with `avg(y) / sqrt(σ^2 / n)`. Even if they have the same distribution, they are not the same thing.

Ask HN: Future Socioeconomic Impacts of automation
Once the AI overhype cycle fades, we'll continue with high probability towards a future we slowly but surely replace a lot of jobs and human tasks with automation. Whether robotics and digital automation through LLM or other "big data" driven algorithms.

We can already see this happening from factories to McDonalds to software. All of these are limited, and to varying degrees. Humans still for now need to oversee these forms of automation.

But the likelihood of further consolidation of wealth and power are likely to follow in the coming decades if the past is any indicator. Government regulations may or may not work effectively enough.

But what happens when a significant portion of the population has no reliable work or fulfilling work. Capitalist societies need consumer spending and growth. What happens when consumers are unemployed due to automation?

UBI/BI (universal basic income) gets thrown around, but it will cost hundreds of billions if not trillion(s) in the future. Companies already lobby for things, I can only imagine the lobbying will intensify a lot more if governments try to further increase corporate taxes to offset the unemployment benefits/(U)BI they will need to provide.

It's easy to say, we'll figure it out. But when trillions of dollars are at stake, it seems likely they will be a lot of push back from the top N% to ensure they're not force to give away a bigger share of their money pie.

What are your thoughts? Try to provide deeper and thoughtful responses here rather than shallow comments.
