In this case I would say AI is the crocodile, the same as all life is. It's specializing (or becoming specialized) in something, which is prediction, in the same way a human (or any life that shows the same definitions of intelligence as us, like a crow solving a puzzle) can show success in a new or novel situation. But life does not need this definition of intelligence to survive, which leads to the basis of evolutionary theory. The trait of adaptability/prediction/intelligence is not always useful given a niche and can get weeded out, which is why most life does not need it, yet they are still around. In organisms that do possess it, it can be a detriment as well given specific situations (over analyzing, stuck in anxiety, excessive risks to adapt, etc.).

In other words, when we say an LLM is becoming intelligent, it's not that it is in the general sense. It's that we recognize the traits within it because the traits make sense to us and mimic what we define ourselves in terms of specializing, because quite obviously, we made it and provide its data input. But, the key difference is that AI has none of the original impetus or evolutionary pressures that led to our own ability to generalize/specialize. This is because its output is derived from human input, which is fed through it through digitized means, which means there is always some kind of 'loss' since it is a specialized aspect of us.

It is why I made the reference to typing. We are communicating right now, but at the same time, it is a specialized form of it. It is not the full original human experience of talking to one another, but does not have to be in this case, because it works well enough and has some advantages given the niche. If we were using Facetime, it would be much closer, but still not quite the same as being in the same room face-to-face.

In my opinion, we are not so much prediction machines, but rather mimickers who can also create mimics of themselves via what we can make. You do not need to be able to predict that well if you can just mindlessly copy something that succeeded somehow.
I used to be a Space X skeptic, pooh-poohing them for re-using RP-1 based rocket engine technology from the 1960s. Clearly, I’m a moron. Starting with known technology and scaling from there worked. Amazing.
Look interesting

“because it is a very small system, it is a good opportunity to easily understand, how Linux file systems are constructed”

Could what I’m looking for
Didn't seem like an LLM to me, despite reading it after seeing your comment and looking out for that.

That said, LLM style depends on prompt etc., so I can easily believe it's the style you personally get when you prompt an LLM.
I can not recall experiencing a single instance of the geolocation API being used for either of these things.
I think it's natural. With the end of the Free Money Era, every New Shiny Thing in your life is going to require a subscription, permission to harvest data on everything about you that can be measured, as many advertisements as users will tolerate, and gambling-tier microtransactions. It's tiring, demoralizing, and stupid. Walking away is liberating.
I would hope that this is made open source tho. I don’t really trust any government and/or megacorp contractor to tell me honestly whether or not something is fake/real.
I think the thrust of the article (and many of the comments) is that there are other ways to address the problem that don’t involve loss of life. Some are individual/preventative and others are society-wide and difficult to do overnight.

Whenever you have a home invasion article, inevitably the “Internet Rambos” come out of the woodwork with their “simple” solution to a complex problem.
DuckDB – Push-Based Execution [video]
No? It seemed like it was written by a space nerd that was mesmerized by the footage and what it represented. Which is the right reaction to that.
I kind of feel like the footage of OSIRIS sucker punching an asteroid was significantly more impressive. Not the least because that was capturing a critical moment of successful mission. The sycophantic writing of this article was over the top.
>racism is illogical and dependent on cognitive fallacy to be maintained.

Can you explain why it's illogical and what fallacy it's maintained on?

I don't think I can logically claim torturing babies is wrong without some arbitrary axioms but you must have some killer logic I don't.

>Double standard: you picked apart my post and didn't acknowledge a thing about the tweet I quoted.

I did though (?). She said something that almost nobody denies, that BLM is associated more with the left, and you went on about what that entails but I see nothing untrue about what she said about that correlation.

I think you confuse logic with morality.
Oh man, let me tell you how we learned about the existence of some of the planets and things like neutron stars.

Power limits probably affect this. And scaling cores isn't linear, their cores clearly scale poorly.

Though Geekbench particularly scales poorly with cores.

Yeah, see almost every "configuration management" tool aside from Ansible that promptly got made irrelevant for the majority of users once containerization hit the scene.
How useful is it to teach media literacy when nobody applies it? I'd argue it's the opposite of useful: Harmful. People who learned media literacy feel more resilient against disinformation, but they likely don't care enough about any single news piece to apply the frameworks to verify whether anything is indeed correct. So, quite ironically, the fact that they feel more resilient against disinformation makes them more susceptible to disinformation than the average uneducated person in terms of media literacy.

Figure out how to teach media literacy correctly before spreading the current, rather flawed media literacy teachings, so we don't end up with more wannabe media literate people who are actually more susceptible to disinformation than the average person.
It's turtles all the way down.

I have been burned before when a query on a newer db version was "optimized" in a different way that caused performance to drop but I have not yet had a query on the same version vary so drastically as to cause a problem.

Is this a more common occurrence that I just have not encountered before?
> the amount of abuse I see from people using Cloudflare Warp is also very high.

More so than from "traditional" VPNs (i.e. the ones claiming to keep "no logs and never selling your data")?

That's quite surprising, since Cloudflare makes no such promises and markets Warp as a security/performance improvement tool, not an anonymity-providing one. I think at least for a while, Cloudflare-hosted sites would even bypass it entirely and they'd get the real underlying client IP.
It's because the advertising industry in general has gotten utterly abusive of what they believe to be their god-given right to your eyeballs, ears, and attention at all times and in all places that it's possible to advertise at you. If they could beam advertisements directly into your brain like the joke in Futurama, you'd never get a moment's peace.
Good question, I have not looked into this myself yet. I would say; definitely, since it uses the dependencies from a `requirements.in` or a `pyproject.toml` file to generate a set of locked dependencies. Since `deptry` supports both formats, this should be no problem.

One thing to keep in mind, that would also be good for `deptry` to think about; if users decide to create a `requirements.txt` file from a `requirements.in` file, `deptry` will automatically use the `requirements.txt` file. However, this is wrong: It should use the `requirements.in` file, since the `requirements.txt` file also contains the transitive dependencies. Users can change this using the `requirements-txt` flag though (https://fpgmaas.github.io/deptry/usage/#requirements-txt).

Thanks for raising this, I will probably create an issue in our project to see how we should feal with this :)
This page has unnecessary user tracking, such as:

The only way it would work is if it was literally handled by the government, and the associated 1st amendment rules applied (so it wouldn't be moderated unless it was actually shut down by a court case).

It would result in rampant wildness and people complaining, but if you didn't do it that way the burden would be too high.
Web components would solve the framework interop problem.
`set local` allows tuning query planner settings scoped to a transaction, so you don't have to do it globally.
My biggest problem with Postgres is the Planner/Optimizer.
The worst example is a super simple query:

SELECT * FROM TABLE FOO WHERE ORGANIZATION_ID = 10 ORDER BY CREATED_AT LIMIT 10 OFFSET 0;

Postgres sorts by created_at using an index, but uses the filter on organization_id. This organization has a million rows... without the order, the query runs in ms. In order, in seconds/minutes.

Sometimes the plan changes if you change the query offset!

For organization 10, the plane is goood, for organization 11, the plane is bad...

Change stats, add more stats, fill the void. that doesn't solve anything. The solution is to use a calc on order by , but in the end you need to create an index using Organization_id and created_at to really fix it.

I did the same test on SQLServer and SQLite, they executed the query correctly, using the correct index. I've never created an index to fix a bad plan in SQLServer, and I've used SqlServer a lot more than Postgres.

And I use a Pass database, it's impossible to install extensions...

I'm going to test this extension locally, if it works I'll convince the company to use it (by changing the database provider)
To get more public buy in and quiet dissent. The current climate is somewhat hostile to even supporting war much less directly engaging in it.
A little off topic: what happened to the hacking videos on YouTube? Used to look forward to them but I haven’t seen a new one in a while.
To be fair, I don't go through anything like the number of books I used to. I have a ton of unread stuff on my Kindle--some of which is admittedly large collections of classics which I got for $1 or $2 each.
You're saying that the evidence for the existence of dark matter is that your theory doesn't agree with the observation. This is like saying that you have no evidence at all.
I agree with most of your points but how is it "old-fashioned"? To me, that means things like reference counting or long stop-the-world pauses, neither of which are true of Go.

How AI is Reshaping Our Reality and Your Future
Damn, I always thought that this was Ministry of Truth's job ...
Another way of looking at this is that scammers can probably afford to spend $5-10 on a TLD since it's just a cost of doing "business" to them, but many kids can't.

I was very happy about free TLDs back in the day as a teenager, since I could just try things out before having to convince my parents to let me use their credit card to register a proper domain name.

MIPS ISA? Is this a problem in practice in 2024?
This all makes sense, thank you. And with ChatGPT are you using the paid version? I have been experimenting with both and found the free version to be very bad. The paid version seems to make fewer mistakes.
Releasing GM sheep into the wild would be worse. This seems closer to that but not quite, if I'm reading this right.

The way I've set this up for our macos devs at work was a script that runs nix builds inside docker-for-desktop using the official nixos upstream docker image (and some tricks to get ssh forwarding, filesystem mounts, ...) working. Works quite alright. Benefit is you don't need some weird Linux remote builder vm with ssh running.
You do not need a different algorithm for each real.
Just take the algorithm that proves the statement for rational p. It proves the statement for all reals bigger than p. (hence having as many algorithms as there are rational (countably many) is enough)
Rumors are of mainline support pretty quickly.

But the proof will be when it actually happens.
Well not at all. If anything, that's the MOND theories. The proper almost exact analogue to dark matter is an accountant noticing something's wrong with the figures, trying to find an honest mistake somewhere, and failing to do so, starting to reasonably suspect that there's embezzlement going on and the missing money has not simply disappeared into the ether.
Yes, and?

Are you saying the whole planet by air looks like 40 km by road, so there's no point having other means of transport? Or something else?
What about the generation learning it now from scratch?

I wonder whether general population would be able to resist if their drive would push the population into another WWI style meat grinder. WWI was a family quarrel after all.
HN is hostile to the idea of user control of one's own content, so there was a signal from the start not to use it for more than anonymous throwaway comments. But Reddit allowed editing and deletion of comments so people used it more freely for years before the trust was broken. Now there's little confidence that deleted comments won't continue to be used.
“These people” is presumably a set of people quick to find fault in anything a corporation does, which could be a superset of those two groups. Not sure what kind of fallacy that’s supposed to be.
That budget only works if you don't care about content moderation or abuse management at all – or did you expect teachers to just do that on the side?
People are conflating Copilot with evaporating demand.

Why pay for a CRUD interface when the chat interface does everything for you?

It’s App Store 2009 out there. Few are taking Assistants and “GPTs” seriously.

Programmers who do front end work can adapt. All that CRUD stuff hardly makes sense in isolation - it’s meant to make other people productive, usually admins. If the chatbot can do the admin’s job, which is a lot easier and more tenuous than the programmer’s, well that’s what’s going to happen.
This sucks but was inevitable. Libraries are such a weird and wonderful thing. Even though books are widely sold, there’s a place where you can go and read them for free instead. And it’s not some weird loophole, it’s a basic unit of our society and an assumed part of every community.

Unfortunately this is America. Nothing can beat out profit motives forever. The libraries really never stood a chance.
Wish this show had gone on forever. Kevin Rose was pretty cool as a kid watching TechTV back in the days. Please bring it back Kevin!
To quote Max Planck: "a new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with.". Groupthink holds back science.
Deep Learning, as in, "efficiently trained neural networks utilizing gradient descent" really isn't
Nope. It's saying that the theory didn't agree with the observation, so we came up with a hypothesis, and – guess what – we haven't found any evidence against that hypothesis, and a lot of evidence for that hypothesis even in places we didn't think we'd find some! That's 100% proper scientific method. Please don't argue against stuff you only have a strawman understanding of. Even if you're on HN and think you're smart and all.

English is 1st. I learned other languages as an adult and have similar pronunciation issues and with hearing my own mistakes.
True, I think it's more a more elegant setup than the ZFS version. Why actively rollback to a snapshot when ephemeral memory will do that automatically on reboot.

That said I'll just mention that ZFS support on NixOS is like nothing else I've seen in Linux. ZFS is like a first-class citizen on NixOS, painless to configure and usually just works like any other filesystem.

They may not have needed it, but it happened nonetheless.

There are recent parallels, but this time by Biden who was fed false information. Though this time, the white house retracted that statement immediately instead of waiting for things to blow over[1].

I suppose the difference was that this time, the US government had nothing planned to capitalize on the lie.

Except accounting is just fun with numbers, so by definition you know if something is off, whereas with cosmological models you can't ever know if the math is missing something or if the model itself is inaccurate

I'm saying (as others seem to also be saying) that it feels akin to saying "trust me, the model is right, we just haven't been able to find the missing $1 million but I'm sure it exists somewhere"

It's not a particularly innovative or insightful criticism of current models, but that's what it feels like from the outside looking in. Chalk it up to ignorance, if you'd like, but I still feel like asking "are you sure you can't fix the model instead of plugging it with some unobservable feature?"
Please give classic CISC examples, which was not microcoded and why you think they classic.

From my opinion, NONE of microprocessors could be considered classic CISC.
I remember using Folding@Home and SETI@Home and when the Bitcoin craze first began (I mean when it was less than $100) I always wondered why no one had developed a system in which you are rewarded for "mining," but your mining operation was something like Folding@Home where the outcome could potentially help all of humanity. I assume there are some coins that try to do something like this, but not at scale like Bitcoin.
I don’t know and that’s why I’m asking. Not paying for a domain is not a reason enough to expect not paying for cloudflare - these are different services. Also note that even not paying for cloudflare is not enough - I asked whether cloudflare intended to convert that segment.
> Schubarth sent genetic material from the argali sheep to a lab to create cloned embryos, which he then implanted in a female sheep on his ranch, according to the DOJ, which produced a single, pure genetic male

All of the other crimes seem to be preparing for or covering up this one action. I'm actually surprised that any of this activity is illegal. Why is it perfectly find to sell genetically modified corn but not animals? Why was it okay to clone dolly the sheep for science, but not for commerce?

In 20 years don't be surprised if America is behind on bio-tech.
That's also not really true. It included large parts of south India, including present day states of Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh etc. It only did not include the southern tip.
> the suggested solution is a theoretic or academic solution which we theorize might work out some day, but is not currently a realistic solution for the need to provide food for artists to eat so that they could remain alive.

These are all your words, not theirs. They didn't suggest this at all.

> The fact that you disagree with the explanation due to ideological purity reasons is not grounds for downvoting it.

This is true, but:

1) I didn't downvote it (I literally can't)

2) There are other good reasons to downvote it, such as what I linked.

Unless you have something more to say about cyrpto I think we should leave this here.
It will also become much cheaper to put astronauts in space and support them there, so it will make sense to make vehicles maintainable and upgradeable in space, even beyond low earth orbit. For example, I expect we'll see space telescopes in high earth orbit that are more like terrestrial telescopes in that they could be maintained and upgraded rather than discarded after use.
> You can get a great fix without AGPS

Yes, after waiting minutes with good line of sight for almanac and ephemerides to download from the satellites. Anything that gets a fix faster is already "assisted", usually either by fresh data downloaded online or not-yet-fully-out-of-date data stored locally.

Woah, 200k LoC is considered medium? I work at a Series A startup and our entire product (which is actually much more than a CRUD app) is only in the high tens of thousands, so that’s just a funny thought for me.

My theory is that because Rust is a low level language you tend to miss out on higher level primitives that promote more code reuse. Another theory is that Rust is mature but not quite as mature as something like Java, so there are fewer mature dependencies for you to delegate your work to.

Thoughts on what’s accurate? For context, I’ve written a bit of Rust myself, but am definitely a beginner.

See excellent article. The 3A6000 is Loongson’s best and newest and performs between the level of Zen (GloFo 14-12nm) and Zen 2 (TSMC 7nm) but limited to four cores.

A lot depends on the cost to produce that chip, whether Loongson can scale below 14-12nm they’re using currently (EUV without ASML?), and what development resources Loongson can deploy for their next microarchitecture revisions, which aren’t discussed here.
Political problems are much harder to solve than technical ones.
