Kudos for this identification, but at this point, calling the use of neural networks in statistical work "AI" is misleading at best. I know it won't stop because it gets attention to claim "AI", but it's really depressing. Ultimately it's not really any different than all the talk about "mechanical brains" in the 50s, but it's just really tiresome.
Excellent, thank you so much for the links, it's super interesting

It should be pretty straightforward to create a scraper for one of those portals

I hope you realize that your libertarian stances are a wet dream for a pysops team.

The idea of “rights” expands far beyond that which works well for you and people like you.
Those videos were the equivalent of 3brown1blue for their day. With YouTube, there are far more videos of this sort today than there were then.
What do you think of how that was addressed in the GP?
All these wrappers are there because nixpkgs doesn't have non-awkward ways to deal with the stuff people deal with often. Nix the language is probably the least of the issues, it's maybe a few % of the chaotic Nix ecosystem. Most of the logic (that desperately needs proper documentation) is in nixpkgs and tooling.
Nice! I couldn’t remember the details, but I was thinking of this too as the “maybe.”

I’m very skeptical of that story though. You’d think the strength of the electric field would have to be gigavolts/meter.

I just said gigavolts because of Doc Brown :p

I just know it would be more than a van degraff generator or a tesla coil. Lightning is in the 10k’s V/m.

I’m an electrical engineer (ok, ok, 3.5/4 of one. I had already graduated in CS, and quit early for a job).

I can’t imagine a static electric field with these properties.

The dielectric breakdown voltage of pretty much everything, especially air, would be relatively very small compared to that field, to generate a physical force at that distance.

Neodymium magnets can do that at millimeters apart, nothing really does at a few meters.

And why weren’t opposite or neutrally charged things sucked into it?

Sounds like a really sciency-sounding legend. Maybe there was a small effect and a story grew.

I just realized that the HN link is like 10 hours of everything I just said in the comments (but higher effort, I guess they went all 4-7 years, lol).

Haha, anyway. Add me to the skeptics. Life is usually boring :/
I don’t think freedom of speech should be given to any collective. Individuals should enjoy it as an absolute right, but a corporation is a legal construct undeserving of such natural rights.

A similar example, people should be able to freely assemble, corporations should not be able to form cartels.
My mistake then, but what’s the point then? Won’t they come for the website next if TikTok doesn’t sell? I don’t even use TikTok but I know this law will be precedence for other laws blocking outside websites.
Stop saying AI?

>But they are not intelligence and anyone who spends time with them quickly realizes they are just a very superpowered suggestion engine

How about: stop moving goalposts. These models are obviously capable of acts of intelligence. If you told someone 10 years ago about the things these models can do, they would tell you the model is intelligent. The model does well on human exams that we use to measure intelligence.

I get it, AI is a hype term, but to pretend that there is no intelligence is silly, and to pretend that you can redefine intelligence is hubris.

Snowflake Supports Trailing Comma for the Select Clause

I somewhat agree here, but not entirely. I think that in technical conversations it's much better to say llm, diffusion model, transformer, etc. But overall it's all Latin to the layman anyway. The use of AI as a marketing term is what I think is causing OP frustration, it's being marked as a panacea when it's far from it, but when is it ever? Social media was marketed as a life changing good for society too.

Any conversation about AGI, does make me cringe. What an absolutely silly and moonshot thing to be having discussions about.
When I was coming up a long while back, there were exciting employers that filled their ranks with ambitious recent grads and lavished them with ping pong tables and soda fountains in the "war room" full of knock-off Aeron chairs and various configurations of conference tables. We'd work crazy hours and move fast with tools we didn't really understand. Most of us would get laid off multiple times as the companies we were working for evaporated, but a few would find themselves in the right place at the right time and win the lottery.

Only a few of those companies from era that remain, and most of the people who stayed in that game ended up with a four page long CV with a dozen unknown or comically failed employers, with all sorts of inflated titles.

But there was this other set of companies that were obnoxiously boring, with middle aged engineers in goatees working sane hours in semi-private offices and cubicles with peers they'd been working besides for 10 and 20 and 30 years. They'd been around, they had a business model that was proven, and they had the institutional knowledge to sustain it.

Many of those companies are still around and many of them are still stocked up with middle aged engineers in goatees with short CV's spanning many years.

I think the proportions between these two company styles varies based on how how much money is being shoved into the industry, and I think it can be hard for an older engineer who dallied with the kids for too long to situate themselves at the more stable workplaces. They often don't really fit in with either culture.
Sooo.... Blue Cheese is my # favorite cheese... followed by all the others. I eat a lot of cheese.

I was EXCITED to click this - However - the presentation of this, as the cheese in petri dish fashion is in poor taste.

I would eat it - but they could attempt to make the page a lot more palatable.

This article is wonderful. The fact that the secondary fermentation peices the lipids creating the tunnels for the mold to trive causing the veins.

But the method finding the new colors is great - genetically engineered chees after the genome was open - so they start with a white spore mold - and the gene block to cause the other colors to form as the spores grow into colonies.

Cheese and Fungi are some of maybe things.

SO funny:

The problem people often run in to when persisting the nix store is that it can be very large, and updates often. This adds a significant tax on setup/teardown time and sometimes storage costs. The completely free and unsubsidized Magic Nix Cache's design alleviates that on GitHub Actions by persisting each path individually in the actions cache. FlakeHub Cache brings a for-cost component to that, which exposes the cache to your workstation and production infrastructure.
In a strict technical sense, you are correct. Anything that encourages individuals to participate in their government is promoting democracy. However, I think it's heavy whitewashing to look at this whole situation and says it's TikTok promoting democracy.

I find it very hard to believe TikTok is doing this being they genuinely want to promote democracy in the US. This threatens to end TikTok's influence over millions of Americans, they have a business/political stake in this. They're encouraging people to contact their representatives, not because it's in the individual's best interest, but because it's in TikTok's best interest. That's why it's manipulative.

Also, I'm of the opinion the foreign-funded propaganda is generally unhealthy for a democracy.

Edit: Just to be clear, I don't really want to ban TikTok. I don't trust TikTok, but I also don't want to increase the federal government's ability to censor what Americans can view. In the process of battling Chinese influence, I don't want the US to become more like China.
I have been programming for over 35 years, 23 years of it professionally, since I was about 15 years old. I've started with ZX-81, Commodore 64, Amiga 500, IBM PC, ...

I don't like programming and "software development" anymore. People are tiring, jobs are tiring, development processes are tiring, complexities of modern systems are tiring. How many goddamn front- and back-end "frameworks" does one need to learn and use to put together a goddamn website? It is all so boring and soul-destroying.

I find it a bit more enjoyable these days to program (numerical, control) algorithms and firmware (for MCUs), getting myself closer back again to my second life-long interest, which is electronics. At least, at the intersection of hardware and software, there is less hyped-up stuff. And "scary" hardware keeps pseudo-programmers and internet charlatans away. To some extent...
Kids get out early... like 2PM. Unless you're a bank teller you can start an hour early. It will make you look like a harder worker +1.

Your kids will grow up quickly and you could change jobs over a year or two if it is particularly inflexible. Whatever your situation, it is a short period of your life that can and will change.

A time system doesn't have to solve everyone's problems, in fact it couldn't if it wanted to. Basically the point is to solve your own problems as you see fit, not push one solution onto everyone else.

I listen to music. But it's not just any music - it's foreign music. Music in languages I'm studying.

I can currently sing whole songs in Italian, Russian, and Thai. Although it does require some extra work while at home (reading lyrics, translating). If I'm not doing this, then I'll listen to a language podcast.

It's not about productivity for me, I just enjoy it.
Two of you have a take on this that sounds similar to prior projects, like the Cell processor. They lost in the long run. Not a good sign.
The "Documentation" link is wrong.
Who said anything about racecar telemetry?

You do realize that wheel speed sensors and g-force sensors are already standard equipment in most cars, and that this is part of the data they are selling, right?

Electrified Lada Niva, eh? Depending on how it's electrified, it might go waaayy faster than would be sane... ;-)
What on earth do you mean "neutral" as if there are two sides to caring about long term infrastructure sustainability. If by "cherry-pick" you mean, explain a falsifiable hypothesis and then point to example of the hypothesis playing out exactly as predicted (Detroit, Jackson, etc.).

If you really think their hypothesis is totally wrong, we're currently living in a real time experiment of the thesis in the Phoenix metro area. Due to water concerns, the suburban development model is no longer feasible. It's unlikely that Phoenix will suddenly become density mecca (as it's not feasible with automobile transportation), so we should expect to see a massive hole in the metro cities' budgets sooner rather than later. If Phoenix turns out to be fine a in 15 years, I'll happily concede the point and will have learned a lot.
> Is "make today's cities larger and denser forever" really the solution? Or can we figure out ways to disperse and decentralize things instead of just feeding more money back into the hands of those who own and control the current cities?

We should be aiming for some degree of density. I would hazard a guess that size is largely dependent upon what a person wants out of life.

Infrastructure is very expensive to build and maintain, and everyone demands it in multiple forms (roads, water, sewage, and power at a minimum). Containing the costs by reducing either extent or capacity would allow us to allocate those resources to other things, things that could improve the collective quality of life.

As for decentralization, it depends upon how it is done. I've lived in or visited towns with a few thousand people. Nearly everything one needed was within walking distance, though people often left town for things they wanted. I've also lived in similarly sized urban communities where virtually nothing one needed was within a reasonable walking distance. Suburban communities often take the latter to the extreme. What was the difference? Everything in the small town was centralized, yet businesses and services in those urban communities were effectively decentralized.

Let's say you build a bunch of small towns to decentralize the population and get away from feeding money back into the hands of those who own and control cities. You now have another major consideration: are people going to live most of their daily lives in those towns, or are they going to live in one town and work in another? A big part of the reason why people spend so much of their life commuting, whether it is by car or train, is because opportunities (may it be home ownership or careers) don't necessarily fall in the same place.
This is anecdotal evidence on one individual. Data from 99,068,901 vaccinated individuals shows many adverse events.

Good luck! My experience of Nix, and similar "robust engineering" solutions like Bazel is that there are a handful of people that get it, and see the benefits. But there are hoards more that think you should just write hacky shell scripts and bugs don't really matter anyway.
Cool that you picked up on my username. Love lots of progressive metal, from the really heavy stuff, to the noodley jam-band type improvisation.

^this is the real issue.

But we dont want to tackle the real issue of few ppl wanting to own the whole world :)

The case for using Rust in MLOps
I agree completely. I have found so many great videos for woodworking, coffee (both roasting and espresso brewing), robotics, home construction, car repairs, computer/portable device repairs, etc. Youtube has made almost any hands-on activity so much easier for me to learn.

I prefer reading for theoretical concepts most of the time, but something more complex that I don't have the time to properly study is sometimes better served by a good video or series as well.

Practically, most everything I dig into it's using both, although I just now started using phind.com (thanks for the tip HN) to fill in some of the things all my sources seemed to be skipping over or presupposing, and that has helped me get answers to latent questions I had for quite some time. I really need those links out because I can't rely on AI generated information otherwise, of course.
I try to, but I'm mostly experimenting along the way. I haven't played with character consistency yet.
You've subtly changed the argument here.

That's the athletic department as a whole. At my alma mater, which is on that list as one where the athletics department costs 500-1000 per student, our football team (which is consistently mediocre) and basketball team were, as far as I know, profitable, and subsidized other D1 sports. I believe that cost also covers the funding for things like intramural sports, the student athletics complex (gym), and various other athletics adjacent things that are student-services shaped, and not D1-sports shaped.
Lol. Yeah once you've heard the HR hype a few times you know how hollow it is and just want to fast forward past it. Glad you found what you need.
One nuance often forgotten is that DST is most helpful at high latitudes and approaches zero at the equator.

> Since I cannot vote out the communists, I can simply choose to not engage.

You're not simply not engaging. You're also trying to prevent others from engaging, where the justification is that you want to prevent others from engaging because of uneven competitive costs.

The extension of that principle is that we should ban anyone from Iceland because they have nearly free electricity and so it's unfair that they can run data centers cheaper that US based ones. Or any country with welfare that enables them to hire for cheaper, since that is a direct gov subsidy.

We typically focus on consumers from a market competition regulation perspective because that is where price matters. Anyone that can't compete simply can't. If TikTok raises prices, it means someone can move in and undercut them, so there is incentive to keep prices low. We don't want to limit competition because it leads to worse outcomes. Look at the Jones act or the Chicken Tax as examples.
I definitely listed the most egregious rules first. Those silly and overbearing laws exist though and have the same force as entirely valid ones like keeping trees along the coast to avoid erosion.

In isolation each rule is defensible (to varying degrees), but when we step back and look at the whole, we've created a regulatory environment that is hostile to development at every step. It's death by a thousand cuts. Big government through a massive collection of tiny rules.

Therein lies the real problem and why this keeps getting worse. There's no political will (probably because there's no political reward) in doing that sort of systemic analysis of the rules. What is actually essential? What is nice to have? What would be great but increases costs so much that it's not worth it?
Show HN: Synchronize OTP credentials across multiple Yubikeys
A YubiKey, among other use cases, can be used to store OTP credentials and generate one-time passwords. If you are a YubiKey user, chances are you have multiple YubiKeys for redundancy and/or convenience. yop is a command line tool that allows keeping OTP credentials on multiple YubiKeys in sync.
From what I remember from school, the extremely rough rule of thumb, specifically for thermal effects on the silicon itself, is that +10C will halve the lifespan of the chip. When you try to push a chip with an OC, the power/perf gets highly nonlinear, so you end up making tradeoffs here. Chip vendors like Intel and AMD do a lot of testing and validation to pick power curves that will meet the warranty specs of the chip, but they do have some wiggle room.

There’s a whole bunch of other failure modes that aren’t captured by the 10C rule. It’s more for estimating chip failure due to things like electromigration. You can observe this if you run a desktop CPU overclocked for many years. I had a 2600k that I had to keep bumping the OC down on, and jt eventually bit the dust after a decade.
> We are building massive 3-4k sq. ft. homes for families of four [...] Everyone has their own bar, restaurant, theatre, and community center. [...] the required square footage per person drops by huge amounts when people can walk to nearby community centers, restaurants, kitchens, theaters, and bars.

Most families don't live in 3-4k sq homes. The average newly built house today is a little over 2k sqft, and most houses are not newly built. Unless you are seriously stretching their definitions, most do not have their own "bar", "restaurant", "theater", and "community center".

A house or apartment should follow a kind of "fractal" pattern that mirrors private and public spaces that encircle it or that it contains. A town should have a town center. This is the public square. For towns large enough, you'll have neighborhoods with squares or parks that are the public meeting place for the neighborhood, but more "private" in relation to the town. Each neighborhood is divided into housing units. An apartment building should have a public space for the apartment buildings, like a courtyard, that is proper to the building, but private in relation to the neighborhood. Within each apartment building, there should be a living room + dining area that function as the public space of the apartment, but which is private in relation to the apartment building (the same principle holds if we replace "apartment building + apartment unit" with "individual house"). The ultimate private space is the bedroom.

Of course, this is idealized, but this is a principle we see in traditional architecture and one that makes sense and respects human nature and supports human flourishing instead of trying to impose some weird, inhuman, Procrustean invention on people to check off some boxes. The things you mention, like bars, restaurants, theaters, and community centers, would appear chiefly in town and neighborhood centers. But they don't replace the living room, the kitchen, and the dining room.

EDIT: Ah, and I would define "neighborhood" in terms of walkability. I should be able to get to the town square by walking in a reasonable about of time.
I read that as Flox makes nix easier for newcomers, not that nix is easy for newcomers.
That's one reason to have research universities.

Another is to ensure that research results are publicly available. This is quite important in AI, where a handful of large companies could take control of a critical technology, and nobody outside the companies would have any understanding of it.

A third is to ensure that all types of research are considered. One of the results from the economics literature is that using algorithms to set prices can lead to the same prices you'd have if the firms colluded. It's plausible that some companies would be hesitant to have their high-salary employees do that type of research and share it with the world (but also plausible that they'd be happy to do that type of research and keep it to themselves).
I agree that both the government and academia are for the things private industry won't pay for.
Interesting that they're defaulting to tunneling WireGuard over WebSockets. Not great for performance but probably fine for the DevOpsy stuff flyctl is used for. This is something I've wondered about for the future of QUIC/HTTP3. There's a nonzero chance network operators will just block UDP on port 443 altogether rather than properly handling it.
I thought this was pretty obvious? "Cancer" is not a thing, its a billion different things that happen differently in every single patient.

I can't find the references right now, but I recall reading that longevity of microcontrollers and similar could also be somewhat accurately modeled by the Arrhenius equation[1], meaning a 10C increase in operating temperature would result in roughly half the expected lifetime.
