> If all parts of the object are acted upon "equally" (why is this in quotes?) where would this acceleration come from?

It is proper acceleration, not coordinate acceleration. An object can have nonzero proper acceleration even if none of its parts are in relative motion. Geometrically, proper acceleration corresponds to path curvature of the worldlines of the atoms in the object. "No relative motion" means all the worldlines of the object's atoms have the same path curvature (modulo some technicalities that don't really matter here). It does not require that that path curvature be zero.

Physically, a typical accelerometer works by measuring the internal stresses that are set up in an object when it is accelerated. These stresses put the object into a different equilibrium state than it was in when it was freely falling: the object's size and shape can change. For typical solid objects at typical Earthbound accelerations these changes are too small for us to see with our unaided senses--but sensitive instruments like accelerometers can detect them.
Yeah I’m aware I just didn’t know if they had something in house or leased from an HPC provider (not spot instances - although honestly that sort of thing wouldn’t surprise me from some other company like Stability).
certainly not active, but back in the 1980s i got dumped on a program that used algol, bcpl, fortran and cobol to drive a phototypesetter to do ... something. this took advantage of the fact that the dec10 allowed you to mix & match languages, much like the vax. i suppose i was lucky the idiot that originally wrote it didn't throw lisp into the pot.

anyway, as i was hired as a microcomputer specialist, and as two dec10 systems programmers had ducked it, i simply said "no can do" - a valuable lesson.

this is what i like about HN - recalling things i had completely forgotten!
the rest of the passive-aggressive investors downvote the stock price by exactly the dividend amount when dividends are given

This is the expected result if markets are correctly pricing stocks. The value of a company is its assets plus its future income streams. When a company pays a dividend, its cash assets decrease, so the value of its stock should decrease by that same amount.

California perspective: rich people could meet their needs for workers/artists/etc by liberalizing the market, but this would cost them property value and eat into the market rents they're collecting. Favoring income-restricted housing allows them to address the same objectives without this blowback.

The cost of the necessary subsidy is calibrated to fall on grubby new-money high earners, so it is effectively free for the long-established propertied class who don't need much taxable income & locked in their property taxes long ago.

Yes, it is. The force you feel as weight is the ground pushing on you.

By Newton's Third Law, the ground also feels a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction from you, which can, as you say, end up compressing the ground. But that isn't what you feel as weight.

I took a brief look at their online article about the British empire. While it does briefly mention Jamaica requiring "conquest" in the origins section, it seems mostly oblivious to the consequences of the empire's "commercial ambitions" for the local populations. Not sure that would form a great "factual" source of truth to train an AI on.
I'm not sure about "most" people (I think most people are just now learning that e.g. ChatGPT & Windows Copilot even exist), but those people who don't want to see anything about AI ever absolutely do exist and this list is probably great for them -- and it's also great for all those communities in which those same people would probably be distracting or otherwise cause problems in. Seems like a win-win list to have.

As a (former) Reddit power user and moderator, I was among the first invited to participate, but passed. There was a time that Reddit actually planned to give away 10% of its stock to power users[1]. As a power user back then (in 2014), I was happy to keep the site's best interests in mind because it was a two-way street. Most of Reddit's success is attributable to power users like me who built mod tools and third-party apps. In return Reddit helped us build and maintain a cool community, sent us free swag, invited us to dinners, ran the Secret Santa, etc.

They really took a series of wrong turns since then, and today there's a hostility between power users and Reddit inc. They took advantage of the power users that built Reddit into what it is and closed it off - no more stock for you, we're closing off our API, disabling the apps you built, selling your data to Google, etc. Actually, instead of giving you stock, we're giving you the "opportunity" to buy stock from us and give our investors some exit liquidity so they can get rich!

Oh well. At least I have HN where the admin's values feel aligned with my own. If HN didn't exist I would probably be starting my own Reddit competitor.

Income-restricted housing isn't sustainable, nor is it very accessible (you either win the lottery and have it, or you are stuck in a very long line).

Liberalizing the market doesn't always work, even in the most dense economic liberal cities, the best environment for sustainable affordable housing is depopulation or some sort of recession or economic stagnation.
how much of that housing is occupied vs investment, and how large are the apartments? slums get quite packed.
Interesting note: ChatGPT (openai.com) is _not_ blocked in this list, although /r/OpenAI and /r/ChatGPT are.
The fact this is even a distinction anyone has to keep in mind is again an example of the problem. People are awful at remembering these weird little details. We shouldn't expect people do things they're bad at, all the time, and to get them right. And I'll go a step further and say we shouldn't let them by default. They should have to make it super explicit they want to opt into the weird behavior nobody expects.

You can do this in Rust if you want! You just have to use unsafe { mem::uninitialized() } or even better, the newer unsafe { mem::MaybeUninit::uninit() }

The whole point is that you probably don't ever want to have an uninitialized variable you can access willy-nilly, and if you do, you should be very explicit.

Even your statement about C (and C++) isn't quite accurate, right, because anything static is guaranteed to be initialized to zero on creation. So while `int x` is a free for all, `static int x` is gonna be zero. Another thing people shouldn't have to think about!

Principle of least surprise.
My mistake I read that number wrong. The most recent number I can find is that during the 2022-2023 budget year, the UK spent around 25 billion pounds which puts them closer to the US when compared in USD but still under. Which begs the question, what do you consider well-funded?
There's one condition in particular that I think should absolutely be part of this: a requirement that Intel offers foundry services on an ongoing basis and giving equivalent access and prices to foundry customers as they give to their own internal customers.

Foundry services are a small part of Intel's business currently, but in the event TSMC is disrupted then Intel would have a near-monopoly on high-end chip manufacturing. Whether Intel is obligated to work with Nvidia, Apple, AMD, etc... could make the difference between those companies surviving or not.

It's in the interests of the American public that money ostensibly spent to mitigate the economic and technological fallout of something potentially happening to TSMC is actually effective at mitigating that risk in a sensible way, or if it's just a huge handout to Intel that they can happily use to dig a deeper moat around their business.

Not to get all semiotic about it, but |x| notation is a pair of vertical lines. I'm sure that someone has written a calculator program where two 0x7D characters bracketing a symbol means absolute value, but if I've ever seen it, I can't recall.

Although 0x7D is overly specific, since if a sibling comment is correct (I have no reason to think otherwise), | for bitwise OR originates in PL/1, where it would have been encoded in EBCDIC, which codes it as 0x4F.

I'm not really disagreeing with you, the |abs| notation is quite a bit older than computers, just musing on what should count as the first use of "|". I'm inclined to say that it should go to the first use of an encoding of "|", not to the similarly-appearing pen and paper notation, and definitely not the first use of ASCII "|" aka 0x7D in a programming language. But I don't think there's a right answer here, it's a matter of taste.

Because one could argue back to the Roman numeral I, if one were determined to do so: when written sans serif, it's just a vertical line, after all. Somehow, abs notation and "first use of an encoded vertical bar" both seem reasonable, while the Roman numeral and specifically-ASCII don't, but I doubt I can unpack that intuition in any detail.

There are real institutional differences and limitations to what money can do.

> OpenAI’s terms explicitly prohibit developers from building GPTs that promote academic dishonesty. Yet the GPT Store is filled with GPTs suggesting they can bypass AI content detectors, including detectors sold to educators through plagiarism scanning platforms.

The use of generative AI in academic contexts--both education and research--is turning out to be a vast ethical gray area. It seems that some people regard any use of AI for writing under one's own name to be dishonest. Others are willing to allow some AI use, but where they draw the line varies a lot. Is it okay, for example, to have an LLM correct word-level grammatical mistakes, rewrite a paragraph to make the author's point clearer, write a paragraph based on the author's bullet points, write a full first draft that the author then checks and revises by hand, translate phrases or sentences that the author has written in their native language, translate an entire paragraph or paper that the author wrote, etc.?

Over the past year, I have conducted several workshops on LLMs for university faculty in Japan, and when I have polled them about the acceptability of each of those use cases, their responses have varied widely.

At the institutional level, some universities discourage their students from using AI for writing at all, while others seem to be encouraging it. Just last week, I heard about two public universities in Japan that have contracted with Microsoft to provide Copilot to all of their students starting in April, when the new academic year begins here.

1. There are people who live the way they do by choice. Folks who got that education and opportunity and rejected it. Your perspective of "mud huts bad" is very centric to how you were raised. It's one step removed from handing the natives a bible and having them build a church to civilize them.

2. No matter how we organize the word, there's always gonna be a line, and someone will be at the back. Sending that line in a new direction might be the next evolution of the species.

LLM is just quite compute-intensive. You could send emails to the OpenAI API to classify them as SPAM or HAM, but you'd probably cry at the bill. That should explain why it doesn't exist in free-tier accounts. Worry not, even in the event you belong to the GPU-poor, a beefy CPU should allow you to run a small LLM on your local machine. And if you find a good dataset for it, you can train the model in a Google Collab.

I have to give JITX credit - every time I see their latest product offering, it gets closer to something I’d actually use. (Working EE who primarily does board and system design.)

These layout automations they show in the landing page are the first thing they’ve showcased that I’m intrigued enough to want to try for myself.

The thing I wonder about with all of these EDA companies is whether any of them understand that they’re not attacking the biggest problem of circuit design.

Capturing the SCH/PCB is a relatively small part of the process of getting a working design ready to sell. Less than ten percent of the time, I’d guess. The bulk goes in to design documentation, testing, certification, compliance, and DFM/DFA.

A part of me sort of hates to see these companies do their thing, because it’s making the fun part of the job shorter and faster.

As they write in the article: "we wanted to shoot it practically (with actual cameras) to show off the new screen"

Because VFX can show anything, a synthetic video tells you nothing about the actual brightness of the screen. Which was their whole point: "Then, as we began to the see the new screens around the office, we were shocked. We knew we'd spec'd bright, OLED screens, but these things were EXCEPTIONALLY BRIGHT. Startlingly bright."
It's fairly alarming if you also look at deaths from drugs and alcohol. A lot of those deaths are reckless behavior in the face of profound depression. Which isn't suicide, but surely related.
