Two thoughts regarding the new work:

(1) I'd consider normalizing the performance data for the random cases against another chess program with similar performance under normal conditions. It may be that introducing 20 random moves to the start of a game biases all players towards a 50/50 win outcome. So the sub-50 performance may not reflect a failure of flipping the "don't suck" switch, but simply good performance in a more average outcome scenario. It'd be interesting to see if Chess-GPT's relative performance against other chess programs in the random scenario was better than its relative performance in the normal case.

(2) The 'fuzziness' of the board positions you found when removing the pawn makes complete sense given one of the nuanced findings in Hazineh, et al Linear Latent World Models in Simple Transformers: A Case Study on Othello-GPT (2023) - specifically the finding that it was encoding representations for board configuration and not just pieces (in that case three stones in a row). It may be that piecemeal removal of a piece disrupted patterns of how games normally flow which it had learned, and as such there was greater uncertainty than the original board state. A similar issue may be at hand with the random 20 moves to start, and I'd be curious what the confidence of the board state was when starting off 20 random moves in and if that confidence stabilized as the game went on from there.

Overall really cool update!

And bigger picture, the prospects of essentially flipping an internalized skill vector for larger models to bias them back away from their regression to the mean is particularly exciting.
We don't, and I don't bring up the following to excuse humanity for our destruction of other species, but it's still just an interesting philosophical point to consider. We're as much a part of the circle of life and evolution as all the organisms that came before us. I mean, you think we're bad for other species, just think about cyanobacteria, which in their thirst for energy polluted the atmosphere with an extremely toxic gas that caused one of Earth's major extinction events.

Of course, that gas was molecular oxygen, and eventually other organisms evolved aerobic respiration, and that toxic gas is now required by many of Earth's organisms to survive. Now, that change took a billion years or so, as opposed to humans doubling CO2 concentrations in a couple hundred years, but it's still interesting to think about the crazy history of life on Earth.

Show HN: AI Assistant for Analyzing SEC Filings like 10-K and 10-Q Reports
I created an AI Assistant (chatbot) to analyze and review SEC filing documents such as 10-K, 20-F, 40-F, 10-Q, and 8-K reports.

The AI Assistant helps with the following tasks:

- Summarizing, reviewing, and analyzing SEC filing documents like 10-K, 20-F, 40-F, 10-Q, and 8-K reports

- Reads the entire filing document to provide insights and identify risks, challenges, and opportunities from the Filings.

- Saves time and effort in researching investments and companies.

- Chats and discusses the SEC filing, answers questions, and performs analytical tasks on the filing.

You can try out the AI Assistant by selecting a company to review its SEC filings from here:

I don't completely agree I think we need to make something that tastes good, is healthy and cheap. As well as something that can also be adopted in as many of the worlds cuisines as possible instead of looking for replacements we should look for something that is liked or loved as that is the only way most people are going to decrease the use of meat. Then we need that ingredient to be adopted by the fast food type restaurant's of the world for it to penetrate into the minds of the world's populations.
Yes, upvote for this please! We would pay to integrate this into our SaaS for our users.
> No, they’re effectively a monopoly for most of the services people actually need.

No, they aren’t. There's an argument that they may have been in the past, but the practices on which that accusation was based were terminated in a settlement with the state and when the same accusations went to trial in a federal lawsuit, Sutter won outright.

> They even settled an anti-trust lawsuit with the state a few years back.

That was based pricing power for insurance contracting through having must-have hospitals in some areas in Northern California and a system of all-or-nothing insurance contracts that required insurance vendors to make all of their hospitals in-network if it wanted any of them in-network, and other similar bundling. (Interesting, they won outright at trial a federal anti-trust suit on basically the same grounds that was proceeding in parallel, reaching court later, than the state one that they settled.)

And the settlement of the state suit addressed those practices, which is important to the current monopoly accusation, because the accusation in that suit was not that Sutter had a freestanding monopoly (market/pricing power) and illegally leveraged it (in which case, addressing the ways they leveraged it would be expected to leave the freestanding monopoly) but that it had market/pricing power because of the combination of must-have hospitals for insurers and the set of anticompetitive practices that leveraged that into market power.
C (the language) does not cause people to write unmaintainable or hard to understand code. Programmers who choose to write unmaintainable or hard to understand code are the problem. I have seen great C code, good C code, mediocre C code, etc. It really depends on who is writing this. This is true of all languages.

In short, technology cannot fix people problems.
The Proceedings of the Friesian School, Fourth Series
another article praising sqlite in production and working around a known sqlite limitation: concurrent writes.
As they link in the article:

> But, my favorite feature of the gem is its improved concurrency support.

> [..] https://fractaledmind.github.io/2023/12/11/sqlite-on-rails-i...

Really. At the point you are experiencing database locked in your productive app that uses sqlite as backend, i would strongly suggest to use another database backend that was designed with concurrent writes in mind.

Nothing against sqlite in production, its nice, as long as your workload meets its feature set.
You might also say that past increases in economic inequality have come from other factors, so you might say we have headroom to roll back those to compensate for the climate crisis caused effects.

No, because as stated in GP, “‘Balance Billing’ for out of network ambulance rides is now illegal.”
OK, this comment was not really helpful. The article described some really interesting tech. Trashing tech or people who are excited by it does not really make things better.
The delusion of tv scuba goggles is exactly why big tech has no taste, it’s out of touch. All you Raspberry Pi guys, no non techie person is looking at these toys like the first iPhone back in 2007.

This seems like a terrible case of not separating concerns and needless optimization. It may work for you, but what if someone who does not know Go but wants to use your project on a provider that is not hetzner?
Nope - This bug was not caused by the language. Also, no one has ever claimed Rust is perfect. What people are claiming is it is a good alternative to C/C++ which prevents a lot of common errors like buffer overflows.
That's because the logical fallacy is the last paragraph in the comment.
Who sees Mickey mouse?
Main telemedicine gig right now is diagnosing and managing HIV and other STDs. Patients love it as it's super private, and even testing can be done discreetly at home with a mailed kit.

Currently completing an online fellowship in obesity medicine and plan to start my own online practice or collaborate with midlevels who do so. Will probably get into tele-urgent care as well.

I've learned a little about all aspects of medicine as an ER doc, and it's exciting to apply that knowledge to telemedicine. Telemedicine is the Wild West right now. COVID-19 just opened it up a couple years back. We don't really know how to maximally benefit patients with it, but there are all kinds of new models being tried. When it works, it really works, without all the bloat and entrenched rentiers that can make brick & mortar medicine awful for both doctors and patients.

Reminds me of the state of the Internet around 2000. Wide open.
Certificate pinning would defeat this. Bake it into your app that you only trust a specific certificate regardless of what is in the system trust store.
Unfortunately, at least in some regions, there is no other place to receive urgent (but non-emergency) care. Waiting a week or more for a doctor's appointment isn't going to cut it if you've broken your arm or if you've been bitten by a possibly rabid animal, and so you're stuck waiting all day or all night in the ER.

It was a revelation to me when I moved from the US to Australia. Not only do I not have to pay for insurance, but it's so much easier to receive non-emergency urgent care as well. I can typically book a doctor's appointment for the next day (there are no insurance networks to worry about, so I have my pick of doctors), or if I need care sooner than that, my local ER usually has a wait time of under 30 minutes even for super minor treatment, like removing a sliver of glass from my foot (the high availability of doctors means the local is pretty quiet).
Would an AI be better than coding a set of rules in this use case?
> They have even been sued and settled anti-competitive behaviors which is evidence to my point…

No, its not. Its actually evidence against your point that the conditions alleged in the suit – which even in the accusations in the suit were the product of practices discontinued in the settlement – are the current conditions.

(The fact that of the two parallel suits on largely the same allegations covering the same time period under state and federal law, they won the federal suit outright at trial after settling the state suit, is also evidence against the conditions alleged in those suits having been facts even at the time covered by the suits.)

This was written in 2006, so it clearly does not take any data from this incident into account. Even if it were written today, it would not be based on any real data -- it's far too soon for that.

The bridge has been there for nearly 50 years, in a port that handles around 50 million tons of cargo every year.

It seems pretty clear that whatever the cause, it was an extremely rare incident.
Despite the questionable goals of the consumer, I have to credit hollow-tube technology as at least a reasonably non-fraudulent attempt to satisfy them.

Yes, they would charge for headphones to watch the movie. The movie (there was only one, or maybe two on a long international flight) was played on CRT monitors mounted on the ceiling of each cabin section.

That was 20+ years ago, before flat panel screens in every headrest that could tune into one of a couple dozen looping channels, and long, long before you could watch anything at any time from a huge library.

What's wrong with PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL? It enables concurrent writes, at the expense of disk. Which to my understanding is the same as any other database backend with write ahead logging to enable concurrent writers.

Anecdotally, I've seen the WAL file grow way too large even after all writes have finished and should shrink, but that's manageable.
This is sad to me. As someone who's done the nomadic thing (and loved it), I see the intense damage this does.

We aren't trees, we aren't designed to be fixed to one place. We are moving, locomotive creatures, we cannot get the best out of our time on this earth by sitting in one spot. Creating bureaucratic overhead to becoming mobile is a huge drain on people and a huge detriment to their potential over their expected lifetime.

We take for granted that someone lives in a prescribed place. We unwittingly mould our lives around the requirement without realizing that it is foisted upon us. Our minds are mutated, we subtlely become a different kind of creature altogether, one not in line with our form. It makes us less healthy.

It emerges from a conflicting interest between humans and the institutions that seek better, more uniform organization. Literally all of the negatives laid out from not having an address in this article are imposed, and so the benefits are benefits of compliance and not benefits due to some type of objrctively improved state. We should quit talking about how to get people addresses and start talking about how to get them the things they need without one. It's one thing for a place to have an address, that's perfectly acceptable. A person shouldn't have to have one to be able to participate civically or in commerce.

IME religion is a net loss. It too often marginalizes or outright harms people who don't or can't fit the mold. It usually also requires or at least encourages counterproductive ways: confirmation bias, appeal to authority, trust without evidence, bandwagon effect, paying significant portions of income for no benefit, etc.

Just did can recommend
Can someone please explain why does this work? Did they agree what everyone would be playing? I am not a musician, but it seems like tempos and time signatures do not match. Or is the whole point that they didn't agree to anything upfront and it still somehow works? Are they all actually playing in B-flat?
probably fear of sunk cost on the deal, giving up a sure deal with 80% of the profit you expected instead of 100% is still making a profit.
Thank you! Hopefully by the end of the year but these things can get, strange.
I pretty much knew the exact book I'd want to find when I'm "sad" and just after hitting couple of buttons...voila, I found "Man's Search for Meaning" by Viktor Frankl. An essential book to read and reread to realize all our worries can not compare to what this man went through surviving the Holocaust.

Some other books to read when being sad is, Dale Carnegie's classic "How to stop worrying and start living" and some books on stoic philosophy by Seneca.
Yes. There are some things so unhealthy that it is worthwhile to try to prevent people from using them. Heroin is one such substance in some peoples’ mind. Gambling is something that can be very addicting and destructive and as such society tries to keep kids from partaking in it. Similarly it is wise and worthwhile to keep kids off of social media.
Don't take rejections personal. I guess it was one of your first ones. You will get many more throughout your life, with even more ridiculous reasons (and even more companies will just simply ghost you during the application process). Don't sweat it, just sleep on it, laugh, and move on. It's their loss.

I am flagging this submission, so it won't show up in google (if it gets enough flags). You don't want to copy-paste emails/messages that can easily identify you.

This is so cool! Great work. I'm writing this comment using Aqua Voice, and it's very impressive. I've been waiting for something like this. As a neurodivergent person, certain tasks (cough, email, cough) are about 10 times harder sitting down at my computer than they are handling them aloud with my assistant.

I'm sure you get this feedback 100 times a day, but I'd gladly pay a substantial amount to use this in place of the system dictation on my Mac and iPhone. Right now, the main limitation to me using it constantly would be the endless need to copy and paste from this separate new document editor into my email app or into Notion or Google Docs, etc.
He mentioned in spots GCC 9.1 was used, albeit still missing parameters. This is odd to test considering how old it is and how the .1 release is not the last bugfix release for the 9 series.

Edit: I see the 9.1 reference is itself referencing related work, and not a source for his assembly outputs.
Not OP, but I presume that one could add `-deploy-aws` cmd-line to the Go binary with whatever steps AWS requires.
Some hospitals do this and it works OK. But patients often believe that they should go to the ER rather than the urgent care part in this situation "just to make sure" or due to other myths. Also, during the day both our main ER and our urgent care are totally saturated at my hospital system.

"Well then your silly system just needs to build more facilities! It's obvious!!" You say.

One thing people need to realize is that it is not necessarily in hospital admins' best interest for all the ER patients to be seen. If it was, they would spend more money on more efficient triage systems so that we could just rake in the bucks. But, in reality they would often lose money on such a gamble in my understanding, due to how patients of different coding levels are reimbursed by payors (and whether a patient is even likely to have a payor).
Well, that's to be expected from such a sub, who'd recommend games from recent history over those of, say, the Pong generation. That is simply how people grow up.
I did not even suggest that Instagram helps with teen self-harm at all. It’d be great if we could discuss this without straw men or sniping argumentation. My kid found support from friends online, at a time when she felt like she wasn’t getting the right amount from the people in her life, which to my chargrin, included me. Direct intervention has helped, and online activity alone wasn’t going to stop everything. Direct intervention alone wasn’t going to stop everything either, and it’s important to know that the wrong kinds of direct intervention can make the problem worse. (I’m worried the DeSantis law is the wrong kind of direct intervention, for example.) Since you work with people with mental health issues, then you know full well that neither my story nor yours is a one-and-done situation. A single intervention is never the start nor the end of the story, and preventing suicide for people with depression & dysphoria is a continuous effort with lots of different forces pulling and pushing.
Nice to see it works for you, I like the crate as well for my utility cargo installations.
You’re right about parental controls, especially apple ScreenTime. I’ve used computers almost my entire life, I even work for Apple, and I still resorted to calling tech support about it. As far as I can tell, they don’t actually do anything useful, and instead just get in the way.

I do disagree that a technical solution could have avoided laws like Texas. It’s not about “protecting the children”. It’s never about the children. It’s just censorship. It’s just easier to go after a porn site than it is a library.
WAL does not help with "database locked" situations. At some point you will see them even with WAL enabled, and your application frontend code has to deal with the timeout and retry or whatever.

Trying to write a perfect optimizer is like trying to slay a hydra. Every time you address one weakness, two more are spotted. The overall approach has to run in polynomial time (or close to it), so there will always be missed optimization chances.

And then half the time it's just your compiler being stupid.

This is not correct.
First, it was limited to a single blend equation of 50% foreground + 50% background.

At minimum, it really needed to support the addition/subtraction blend equations.

Second, because it doesn't work correctly for distorted quads, it really doesn't exist in the context of "Saturn's 3D capablties"
Indeed. It is rough when those we thought were arguing in good faith were actually not doing so, ie their antivaxxer or generally anti-science comments. In this case, there is nothing we can really do to stem such advances towards us. And yes, I do not agree that "both sides" are equal in merit.
