The internet is better for factoids - for learning something, a book is a lot better, if you can get your hands on one.

E.g. for a niche topic there's maybe a 5 page wikipedia article, a thousand useless seo fodder blogs, and a bunch of academic papers on the topic. At the library, I can get a 300 page comprehensive text written by an expert whose motive is to actually teach me the topic.
I wish I could find it again, but I remember reading about how Russians are using an old style chip-screen. I don't remember the name and can't find it. It's kinda like a FPGA but it's not reprogrammable and can be done cheaply on small batches. Really neat tech.

I think the idea is to starve the Chinese on AI advances, but there isn't much point spending a fortune training such models when you can have an insider leak it to you for much less money.
What are some other viable options?
Decriminalization is a half-measure that's doomed to fail. The drugs are still the same impure crap that they were before decriminalization, leading to the same overdoses and deaths. And the people selling the drugs are the same violent criminal groups that were selling them before decriminalization, except now they are de facto endorsed by the government (where else are people suppose to buy the drugs they are now allowed to legally posses?). The only difference is that drug use becomes more public, to the benefit of absolutely nobody.
Machine Learning (now called AI) is a rapidly changing landscape but chip making is the exact opposite where projects take almost a decade to finish. How OpenAI or anyone wanting to make a change deals with this? By the time chips are ready maybe GPT4 can be optimized to run on my iPhone...
Exactly. The premise was true years ago, definitely. But today it's not hard to get correct spelling out of the top models. Ask DALL-E 3 to make a picture with some text, and it will spit out 4 image. Usually 2 or 3 are perfectly spelled. Lesser or older diffusion models (whatever OP is using) sometimes mix cyrillic and latin letters, or invent plausible-looking letters that don't exist in any language. But think about how they work - they are trained to turn pure pixel noise into a more plausible array of pixels for the prompt. It's pretty close to plausible text - misspelling is a nitpick for what it's getting right. Technology progresses over time.
I think pg said it best in one of his tweets/essays ?? not sure.
Essentially starting a startup is super hard. You can't just chill/half ass and still do well even if you had already succeeded before.
A very tricky situation. On the one hand, I'm very pro-liberty and firmly believe every human has a right to decide what substances to engage with. On the other hand, it may be that the changes in human behavior elicited from consuming some drugs are just fundamentally incompatible with our collective vision of a healthy society.

How can this be reconciled? At the very least, anti-social / anti-societal behavior, eg crime, must be dealt with even or especially if the root cause is drug use. But then you get in the argument, well they're sick and addicted, is it really their fault, do they deserve to be punished for the resultant crime? They made the first decision to act so ultimately they have to be held responsible for the downstream consequences, I guess.

And then, is being homeless a crime? I don't think so. But how about littering, or using public spaces as urinals? We've decided that, for our vision of society, littering is against the law, and so is public urination / defecation. So why not enforce that, maybe especially if you're addicted to drugs?
That makes sense.

I was going to ask if you were prioritizing the SVG 2 features that are already implemented in Chrome and Firefox. But it appears the W3C has removed a lot of the new ones I remember from the spec (path data bearings, mesh gradients), and that both Chrome and Firefox have implemented a good amount of the existing spec like tabindex and friends.

(Ok, here's one-- "inline-size" and others for doing auto-wrapping text in SVG. Looks to be unimplemented anywhere.)
They are going to have to focus on the use cases that most of their customers use LLMs for, regardless of whether it falls in the consumer or professional category or somewhere in between.

If all it does is improve Siri a bit without massively expanding the range of applications and APIs it will be a big disappointment.

I think what Apple presents in June will decide whether on-device AI will be seen as a viable alternative to cloud APIs.
> states ruled from Prague, inhabited largely by Czech speakers, extending to virtually the same territory.

More like two polities which share a capital city, but barely have either a language or a geography in common. The idea that Bohemia is essentially Czechia has no more reliable historical basis than belief that it belongs to Greater Germany, or to Czechoslovakia.

We should invent solutions for problems that we have, instead of wildly trying to apply this tech to everything we can think of. We are skipping the benefit/cost considerations.
Have you considered that having a diversity of approaches might be of value, particularly when this approach (“citizen science”) has very low to no cost and could lead to a “real scientist” to think “hmmm… let’s do a real study on that”?

I.e. perhaps low cost science should have a role leading the science peloton, cutting through the friction so that more resource intensive science can go where the spotlight shines?

Just a thought.

> Free market hardly work there.

This is hardly a free market. Libraries receive a budget to spend _ dollars on books every year. This entire publishing industry exists to capture that cashflow, because consumers aren't buying it with their own money.

The university version is more complex, but the bottom line is you do not have consumers spending their money on products they use.

Because tokenization is an imperfect way to encode the required information.

Think about how we chunk words[1] and recognize them. We have whole word(shape recognition), morphme recognition, and spelling(letter-by-letter chunking). Text models receive tokens(akin to morpheme chunks) and don't have access to the underlying letters(spelling data) unless that was part of their training. For the most part, individual letters, something I think we can agree is necessary for rendering text, is not accessible.

An appropriate analogy is an illiterate artist. Someone who can hear chunks of words and recognizes them verbally I'd asked to do their best job at painting text. They can piece together letter clusters based on inference, but they cannot spell.

So... OpenAI is SUPER concerned about AI's impact on/dangers to humanity. But is also looking to partner with a country known for human rights violations. They definitely aren't maniacally focused on profit...
Copyright law already recognizes a concept of "work for hire". Limiting the "abandonware" concept to only works for hire would trivially address your concerns.
>To further harness these benefits, they proposed the introduction of a fourth, “white” light to traffic signals. In this scenario, the “white” phase activates whenever enough interconnected AVs approach an intersection. Once lit, the phase indicates nearby drivers should simply follow the car (AV or human) in front of them, instead of trying to anticipate something like a yellow light’s transition time to red.

This seems like it might actually end civilization.
I feel like closing that loop was actually bad for innovation. When we designed analog tubes, there could be some exciting piece to make/invent.
Now everything is programmable and we get stuck on “why” or “what” we are trying to make before we even start.

A bit like computer software, no one just messes around to make pong or hello world anymore, they are spending 6 months white boarding the thing before they write any code. (Or maybe they aren’t, but in hardware we do)

So … nothing super amazing in my sleep anymore. Waking up in the middle of the night to design a circuit to provide a constant -5vdc for a 555 timer while the rest of the circuit is +\- something or another, just doesn’t happen anymore.
These are feelings not argumentation. Since the dawn of ebooks this has been true. Referencing electronic material is amazing. Books are incredible with physical libraries being one of the most important aspect, but the current form of digital libraries is a dead end.

On DOP#1 we today have Autonomy and freedom...(sounding like a weekends true optimistic party-victiom)

...let me conclude

Are we not more free than ever before?

-surveillance capitalism
-constantly nudged by algorithms fed by behavioral data
-exposure to ads
-influencing many
-influence people use to lock the world into being a certain way

A nudge may (do) also detract (do I really need a fight-or-flight response to trigger in the middle of a meeting? No I do not.) -Why do promoting keep things wich people doesn't are or preciselier have/and be, that often seem to nudge people toward choices that someone else would prefer we make.

Prices are maximised as much as they can be while still allowing enough sales to sustain the system. There's no fairness in pricing nor a human element, it's automatically kicking the customer and patting them on the back at the same time in real time.

-They are making us more human, in terms of that free will is an illusion, at which point you have to wonder what "freedom" really means, if anything, and so the best we all can do as a society is to be aware, rejecting things don't serv our aims (celashion), and to continuously make intentional choices. Promoting: "As you have that choice!"

I would say OOP revolves around the concept of modeling real-world entities or concepts as objects in code. Records encapsulate data fields within an object, providing a way to model real-world entities.
Not only is it no use, but it's very counterproductive. It's hard to push for innovation locally as it's initially higher cost and lower quality so local companies are incentivized to continue to buy foreign. Without the customers to drive demand the top down initiatives invites corruption and money spent on it just goes into a bottomless black hole. By being sanctioned you have the foreign countries ensuring local companies can only by locally and are not able to bribe the foreign countries to circumvent.
I'm not really suggesting Ladybird is doing something "wrong" or should do something else. Reading something like:

The fix is to make Document::window() return a nullable value, and then handle null in a bajillion places.

makes me think you're going to find something like this and do this kind of fix maybe once, twice, five times and then probably decide you need a more fundamental fix of some sort. Another way of thinking about it is 'What would, say, the Google Chrome team, wish they could do were they starting from scratch?' i.e. aiming for the state of the art, rather than trying to catch up to it later which may turn out to be overwhelming.
Reading through this, it really strikes me that you're using the wrong printer for the job.

This sort of component is a natural fit for a resin printer. The registration slits from #8 can be created reliably with a resin printer, and I'm confident you'll get better dots as well.

Furthermore, the speed of printing is by Z axis for a resin printer, not volume of the part. So you can print as many wheels as the bed will fit in the same time as one, which should only be about ten minutes on a resin printer. Resin also has a lot more flexibility in its properties than fiber printing can, the toughest printing resins are tougher than any fiber for this application, so the parts would last longer.

Once you have the process dialed in, you can probably print these in layers, which can be clipped apart and UV treated in batches, or maybe just use a magnetic fixture if you don't mind attending the machine more closely, they'll just pop off of one of those.

It reads like #8 sent you off on a substantial mission because of printer fidelity in the registration spokes, a resin printer would let you explore that design more thoroughly.
I've heard the sport idea thrown around a few times, but I'm not sure I buy it.

If you go to a sports event you are mostly buying the experience of being there, the energy of the crowd, the cheering all that stuff. The actual experience of seeing what's happening is not really better is it? That's why the stadiums have screens in them.

Replicating that experience at home is more like getting people around to watch a game together.
You can't fix adversarial disinformation with domestic disinformation.

You're right. This is pointless because we're talking past each other.

I say it's wrong to buy expensive crap because it's flashy and well marketed, and equally wrong to dismiss things that don't fit the aesthetics peddled under this model. It's wasteful consumerism, one of the most wrong things with society right now. It's killing the planet. In a word, indefensible. There absolutely are fashionable, beautiful, durable options.

You say I am a bad person for having this opinion. "Hoisting" my opinion on others. You used underhanded tactics like false dichotomies. "I don't want my house to look like it came from 1920". Than, caught on a fallacy, you resorted to ad hominem, pretended to have a high moral ground and rode into the sunset in your high horse.

Plenty of people develop for java on macs. The issue is that per the article this behavior was not present in the early access macOS builds, which means something changed between beta and release.

Not everyone sees everything that you do and implying that 7 days ago isn't current news is a little silly. If you know that this was already posted to HN and you're upset about that, you could have mentioned it. Or done something productive like link to the original post like I've seen other do, that way people get to read original discussion.

Your original comment didn't even properly explain why you were upset.
Engineers like to create solutions, not problems.

Not yet. It's not legal here yet, though recently it's softening up.

For one, it doesn't affect all versions of Java. Java 20 (an LTS release) and 21, for example, don't have this problem.
The powers that be seem to actively be betting that China will collapse. Some geopoliticists predicted it would happen 10 years ago, but the arguments for it are somewhat compelling:

- China is facing a massive demographic bomb from one child policy

- China is a financial house of cards. Some of the stuff I've read about is 3 billion apartments built as investments/savings which are actually worthless, local/state debt and shell games that is frighteningly leveraged, and the general cheap/empty consumption/construction that state driven funding has produced

- China is turning sharply authoritarian, possibly headed to Stalinist levels of purges and cult of personality with Xi.

- China can feed its population and gets its oil due to free trade and shipping, quite extended supply lines, which are going to get a lot more chaotic in the future. If/when China attempts to invade Taiwan, the US will impose a naval blockade on its shipping (Zeihan claims a "couple destroyers in the Indian Ocean" ... probably a BIT more involved than that) ... China will starve and its economy will stop functioning.

I think this is part of a multipronged trade war to attempt to collapse the Chinese Communist party. If you want to talk about "powers that be", consider what is on the table here: the Putin regime will likely collapse from the failures in Ukraine, and Russia (who is facing a demographic bomb almost as bad as China's) is expending its last functional generation of youth on human waves in Ukraine.

So the two major nuclear powers might collapse entirely, and the only real economic rival to the US.

Very well the wages might fall much quicker than the costs so for a handful it will be beneficial, for the rest not so much.

Yes, I just don't think it's really accurate to characterize other payment devices as unrelated to a business's core service. Their core service is providing goods in exchange for payments, and they have legitimate reason to want to avoid cash payments.
GP likely meant GPT-4 (the LLM), not ChatGPT the product as a whole (which has additional models for doing things with images).

Feed original (not copy-pasted from the web) ASCII art of a foot into GPT-4 and I'd be very impressed if it can tell you it's a foot.

I'm actually mildly impressed it could generate ASCII art of a car, because that's a lot better than I've been able to get out of it (albeit on gpt3.5). Try anything more complex and I believe you'll see it's limitations.
Geoclue works on phones too (which is how I contributed data about my neighborhood, which resulted in instant massive improvement for all my devices), and for Android there are apps like Tower Collector that let you do it as well [edit: though on second look, it seems like it only collects cellular stations and not WiFi APs]

Right, all builds are dependent on their inputs.
Your inputs determine your outputs.
If your input(s) change, then so does your output.

>The entire "open coursework" movement died quite quickly when the colleges realized this might cut into their annual 10% hike to tuition.

My sense is that there's quite a bit of "open coursework" out there if you're talking about mostly raw materials.

If you're talking about MOOCs, universities started pulling back after it became obvious that they had mostly "not lived up to expectations." The combination of the students most needing them largely lacking motivation, the fact that credentials weren't generally viewed as valuable, the lack of lab and tutorial resources, and VC-companies pivoting are probably just the main factors.
