>more time spent working on the problem by a domain expert gives more opportunity to identify deficiencies in the specification

So much this. This is happening in other industries, too. Domain experts are also becoming less expert because of lack of proper feedback about their designs.

It's great to have a spec, but you should understand what's happening with the spec and how it applies to the actual code that executes.

With software we can get software that is very close to being an executable spec. By adding a layer of indirection we make everything harder.
BIM is a well known acronym in the building&construction market where this plugin is intended to be used.
You have it backwards. Density is mass/volume so with the same mass when density increases the volume decreses
I think it still becomes about the data. If using a sheet as an app particularly with sharepoint, data integrity and merging multiple users often becomes a problem.

I run one for a financial services firm and often get "excel couldnt merge changes, want to save a copy or discard". We tested this out, 2 users make editing different sheets on a single excel workbook hosted on sharepoint and excel can't figure out how to merge. If someone is on VPN and connection drops this also often occurs.
given the price of real estate in Vancouver and the fact that this is in Kitsilano (one of the hippest / priciest neighbourhoods in the city), I don't even want to know the kind of money involved
It’s a pretty interesting development. I wonder what the legal framework for someone living there will be if they’re not a First Nation citizen?

From the article:
“ But Indigenous nations are accountable, first and foremost, to their own citizens. That could mean temporarily barring access to traditional lands, as in Joffre Lakes. It could also mean maximizing the economic potential of their property, to provide housing and funds to support education, health care and community growth. ”
If the last one is built with React look into the new React Server Components. Pretty much everything that's not strictly dynamic can not only be rendered server-side, but you can also prerender entire component hierarchies into static HTML assets.

Honestly very concerning to see someone using them like this on HN of all places
In my experience, it isn't really very good at it. I've moved to OpenSCAD for cad work, and am very happy with its design philosophy (if not its user experience)
Rendering the triangle meshes and polygon meshes is actually a ’nice to have’ tip of the iceberg in CAD/CAM/BIM flows and Blender doesn’t really help in the domain problem as such.

In general design workflows feed data to downstream consumers. Two top ’consume’ pipelines are around drawings and CNC machine control (STEP).

Rendering everything nicely is something that is nice to have but does not help in the design process, and for project coordination you probably want an online shared project view (e.g. Trimble Connect and many others).

As a private consumer it’s ofc nice to have a free too to use to tap into industrial data flows but it does not really help you in integrating into them (at least yet, but I might be wrong - data is just data).
Now we wait for a GPU-accelerated Excel calculation engine to close the loop.
You probably wouldn't, because with laws like those proposed above, it's very likely that your family members in that neighborhood, despite being innocent of any specific act, would be dragnet arrested and hauled off to some shit hole county/city jail because they went for a coke and chips at 3 am but had tattoos and "looked suspicious". I live in a place where the police get license to do exactly these sorts of things with little fear of repercussions, all in the name of "fighting delinquency". The inevitable result has been a ton of corruption and awfully unjust abuses of (mostly) kids doing nothing wrong. The real crime rate doesn't seem to change much despite.
But then why put it in the house and not e.g. in the ground?

You can always make local arguments that, say, some g can be substituted with some c.

The issue is broader than that. It concerns the premises of vast areas of physics -- you have to show they are more likely false than true.

This isnt an argument saying no c can be found for any given g, it's saying, "g-c gaps have empirical consequences we havent observed" and if we did, physics would be foundationally wrong

Or stress. Our lives are much, much busier and inundated with tasks than those of our predecessors simply because technology allows us to do more work in shorter time (which was supposed to result in us doing less work overall, but that sorta backfired hard because yay capitalism and all that)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_pipelining

In practice it's not wrong. HTTP 1.x servers, and especially "middleboxes" get this badly enough wrong that when you ship this feature ("HTTP 1 pipelining") your users will report a low but persistent error rate. Oops the password request and image download were kinda sorta fused together.

You can (and some very minor browsers do) just insist it's not your bug and then painstakingly reject every incident where this is implicated, or you can just accept that this was never going to work in practice as the document you're disparaging does.
And this is key to the finances...

Waste material costs over €100/ton to dispose of across most of the EU. So therefore this material costs less than nothing!

That's why the project doesn't use water (which has a 4x higher heat capacity and can be pumped allowing the heat exchangers to be far smaller and eliminating the 'temperature decreases as it discharges' problem).
Good writing can also come out of Markov chains. Or even RNGs - if your novelist has enough time to filter the output.

LLMs can't write good stuff. Human writers can write good stuff. When a good writer uses an LLM in their writing process, that writer can certainly produce good writing.

When an AI hypebro who is otherwise a bad writer uses an LLM in their writing process, they still produce bad writing.
> They don't not "due to Chinese censorship laws", they don't because they don't want to obey local laws, big difference,

There's no difference, since the laws they don't want to obey are the censorship laws.
> no one said “I call this the “YX problem”

Right, they said "What would you call [it], the YX Problem?"

Is there a meaningful difference as far as coining a term?

The idea of "what if this phenomenon happens in reverse" existed, but adding a name isn't nothing.
I think that's pretty common, no? Here in NL our district heat comes from a chemical refinery a few clicks away. For them the heat is an annoying waste product.
Please do share if you're aware of any sources associating population-wide lead level decreases to population-wide IQ increases. While we can't be certain about blood lead levels before the mid-20th century, my impression is that the golden age of the Flynn effect (mid-20th century through the mid-70s) was concomitant with explosive growth in the use of leaded gasoline, which should be far and away the primary driver of elevated lead levels, and that cognitive scores have been relatively flat from the mid-70s onward as lead levels have decreased precipitously.

Edit: It's worth noting that the study described by the OP does not demonstrate an effect on IQ. They estimate population-wide lead exposure. The lost IQ point calculation is based on correlation coefficients obtained through observational studies.

I am very well aware of how LLMs work, this was just to summarize some information that is widely available online. None of what Claude output here is amenable to a hallucination. There ARE animal studies. Insulin potention thepary exists, and so on.

It's funny because you say you are the one concerned, I was pretty much certain I'd get a reply about how silly I am to believe LLM output, in HN of all places.
Then the connotation is lost, unless you are deep into politics or Russian.
This is exactly my feeling - it would be pretty brave for any enterprise to adopt this ahead of incumbents when it is so far behind and they are likely going to start locking away the enterprise features anyway. The whole upside is that all features were open source and could be easily patched/worked around as needed.

What do you mean by "directly"? I'm not familiar with Nanos internals, but after skimming their FAQ[0] it seems that Nanos is kind of VM that can't run on bare metal and still requires hypervisor (presumably Linux, unless your CTO plays a lot of golf with MS salespeople):

Nanos is a single process operating system designed to run as a virtual machine and has no support to run on hardware.

Yes, it is impossible for anyone to figure out gravity by induction. That's the problem with AI.

The way we build explanations is largely by reasoning-by-analogy. We build physical models with our hands, to resolve ambiguities in our environment, ever more complexly -- and then, eventually, land upon the right analogy that then falls away.

Prior to gravity we had crystal spheres -- reasoning by ananlogy with such things.

Since machines arent in the world, as in my robot example, they can never build explantory conceptualisations of it.

Chess et al. are not worlds in any relevant sense. No one cares, or doubts, that a system with a fully mathematically specific "world" can be "learnt" by a computer.

The full specification of a "world" in mathematical terms doesnt require intelligence. At that point you can use the dumb strategies of alphago.

Intelligence is what you do when you don't know what you're doing. The "World Model"s we're interested in are those that arent already specified to the machine.

All these formal games are just outcomes spaces where every event is known a priori.

As I said, the AI people arent even operating in the category of intelligence. It just the profound lack of background knowledge of any field outside pytorch.lol() that their meglomania plausible

Go look at every paper in AI or ML that purports to build a model of anything: can you find a single one where the outcome space cannot be fully specified either formally (as with chess, etc.) or empirically (as with data samples)?

This has nothing to do with intelligence. We do not either start from the answers, or samples of the answers. We have no answers.

The resolution to this problem requires having a body: you have to move in order to think, in direct causal contact with the world beyond the capacities of clay, to think about it.

Ask HN: Any Minimalist Fitness/Sleep Tracker with Long Battery Life?
I must admit, I'm feeling overwhelmed by the abundance of available fitness and sleep trackers.

I'm seeking a fitness tracker that:

Boasts a long battery life, ideally lasting multiple weeks without needing a charge.
Lacks a display or has a very minimalist display, as I prefer to avoid visual distractions and want the device to be as unobtrusive as possible.
Is small and lightweight for comfortable all-day wear without causing any inconvenience.
I'm particularly interested in a tracker that offers the

following features:

Tracks my steps and monitors movement activities.
Monitors my sleep and analyzes sleep patterns.
Is waterproof, allowing me to wear it while swimming.
Offers the ability to sync my data with an app to track my progress and gain detailed insights into my activities.
It's important to note that I'm specifically looking for a tracker that does not operate on a subscription model.

I'd appreciate any recommendations you have, especially if you have personal experiences with specific fitness trackers that meet that requirements. Even if there are products that don't fulfill all the criteria but are still worth considering, I'd welcome your suggestions.

Thanks in advance for your help!

In terms of land/home ownership, what it has meant in other parts of the metro area, is leaseholds. You can “buy” a property at a slightly reduced cost which will be reclaimed after several decades (100 years?), usually starting from the time of development.

In terms of laws, policing is handled by the local police force, ie. VPD. While there is rhetoric about sovereignty, practically speaking much of the challenging problems are still handled by the Crown’s government and not by tribes.

"Only 17.2% of apps will reach $1,000 in monthly subscriptions, but those that do will grow more easily. About 59% of apps that reach $1,000 in monthly revenue reach $2,500, and 60% of those will reach $5,000."

Not bad at all! I would have guessed way lower, but apparently with just a few apps there's a good chance to make $1000 a month.

Let's not go over the top. Fishing for metal junk in a river is not "looting" whether allowed or not.

Except that Signal is free and nothing prevents anyone from having both installed at once, so you being stubborn can get your contacts to install the free app that takes two seconds to install.

Then everyone ends up on Signal because anyone can install Signal but the stubborn people refuse to install WhatsApp, at which point "everyone you actually need to communicate to is on Signal, WhatsApp is pretty much useless."

But in order to get there, you (the collective you, the median pedant) have to be more stubborn than the people who want to use WhatsApp, instead of the other way around.
