I've driven by that on I-5 a number of times.

Another one that jumped out at me were the cinder cones north of St George Utah. We were driving through to go to Zion National Park, which is not at all volcanic looking in terms of the formations, so it was quite odd to see some volcanic stuff that would look perfectly normal here in central Oregon.
I think the wording of the article title helps push people to this conclusion. My first thought was "we're 24 years into the 21st century, I'm sure we already have one of those".
"Dispersion" as I think you're describing is an artifact of the fact that most light sources radiate spherically, and more focused alternatives simply reflect the edges of that sphere to obtain some focus at larger distances, still radiating off in a 1/r^2 nature eventually.

If you actually take every photon from Sol and point it in a single direction (think "LASER" rather than "mirrors"), the range is infinite, give-or-take the fact that you'll hit some objects on the way, and the intensity is on par with the intensity next to the surface of the sun.
Do you have any examples?

You should tell her to get in touch with researchers. Even if she doesn't quite have HSAM, they'd probably be interested. In fact, they might be even more interested to see someone who lives in the gap between HSAM and not-HSAM.
I'm a veteran developer, but really more of a "normal" than the type of developer who is commenting on this story. I admit I find this stuff really, really, really confusing. I hate dealing with any of this stuff, I don't do it voluntarily for the same reasons I don't (for example) use pretty good privacy for email (I just use web gmail like a regular person).

Anyway, I do (involuntarily) use 2FA for two services, and managed to set myself up with Google Authenticator on my Android phone. Both services that onboarded me for this explained it really poorly, but at least got me hooked up and I now routinely (and reluctantly) login to those services this way. Reading this I suddenly realised, whoaaa, if I lose my phone do I lose access to those (important) services? Well no, I hope not at least, when I look at the Authenticator app it has the green "your codes are being saved to your google account" cloud icon. That's kind of reassuring. I suppose.

I'm not really sure what my point is, other than online security is an ever more important issue, it's a swamp and even many technical people who might know everything there is to know about some arcane corner of the technology universe don't necessarily properly understand it. Although I suspect most would not be prepared to admit it like I just did. Actual normal people (like my wife for example) have absolutely no chance of getting on top of the details and navigating their way to a best practice solution. I hope Google (or Apple) don't either give up on this or go full evil, that would be really bad.

I think I will check out whether my two services can give me recovery codes. I am confident I can manage vital username/password combinations and recovery codes, that's the level of sophistication (or not) I'm comfortable with in this space.

Interesting, I used to have an extremely strong visual memory. It was like you said, seeing the words on the page of my textbooks (if not verbatim then largely).

That was mostly when I was 13-18. I can’t say it’s causal, but around the time I discovered weed (17/18) I pretty much lost this ability. I was never a particularly heavy or regular user, but it’s pretty easy for me to segment my memory acuity into before/after age 18. Of course at that age many things are changing, all very quickly. So who’s to say what the cause was. Maybe it was destined to decline with age anyways.

I do fine for myself now, but now I tend to rely on process and flow states rather than memory recall for getting things done.

I think the point is that if you want a model that gives the right answer, you should still use partial credit to figure out how far away you are from that goal instead of binary correct-or-not accuracy.

If you use a metric where improvement happens suddenly and unpredictably, you can't even estimate how much longer you need to train, because the ability might emerge spontaneously. But if the partial credit metric improves smoothly and predictably, you have a chance of extrapolating your training progress to see when you might hit your accuracy target, better than if you extrapolated accuracy directly.

And if you find that the estimated time is too long and you decide to train a bigger model, you can try to extrapolate across model sizes to estimate how big of a model you might need.
> Countryside roads that normally get very little traffic can quickly get clogged.

Truth. I have a piece of land way out in the sticks here in Mena, AR, and on the rare occasion, our little backroads get very clogged up (think hunting season mostly), though we are right in the path of totality for the eclipse, and the town is even having an "eclipse festival" building up to it.

If one is acquainted to Scheme, it's better skimming through the introduction for an overview of all the language features.

This name has been popping into my head a lot recently. I hated it a decade ago at Walmart and it was a right PITA, but I would absolutely KILL to be using BMC Remedy at this point.

I hate Salesforce for tech work and support tickets. It is the worst experience possible. Remedy was Remedy and it was obscure and weird and hard to use at times.

But I swear to god Salesforce is going to cost me my job becuase it makes it impossible to do my job well. Why can't I just open one ticket in one browser tab without 15 other tickets popping into a second tab bar? Why does it NEEEEEED to hide whatever other tab I was working on in a drop down, why can't I sort, filter, rearrange, or resize anything? IT'S BRAIN BREAKING.

Anyway thanks for reading this rant. The idea of running any sort of query or script in Remedy sounds like water in the desert to me now. I'd settle for using service-now to track things. Anything but Salesforce dammit.
>The Loongsons or Kirins may be not a huge threat now,

Anyone who thinks CPUs allegedly on par with 10th gen Intel (or even a 14600K?!) and practical implementations of 7nm nodes are not huge threats is, sincerely, fucking delusional.

And assuming the claims are hot air and they're more on par with 6th gen Intel or thereabouts, anyone who thinks that's not a huge threat is, sincerely, still fucking delusional.

I think a lot of people, including those who really should know better, aren't realizing just how much processing horsepower even 6th gen Intel really has.

Of course, if those people also don't consider China a hostile in the first place, then I will grant their logic would make sense.

I miss pg. Lisp commentary has never recovered from his departure. Ten hours with no comments about the project or a tangent about Lisp itself is a darn shame.

Why not write one myself? Drained. Lisp is near and dear to my heart, but midnight when I have to do our morning time routine with our 7mo at 6am isn’t the time to wax poetic.

The most worrisome thing is actually the most ironic: no one is posting any hate comments either. Back a decade ago, you’d get into long battles about whether it was a good or bad idea to choose any Lisp, or at least some jeers from the sidelines. But that, counterintuitively, was one of Lisp’s strengths. When I was younger, that kind of thing originally sparked my curiosity: if most people were jeering, and most people weren’t too smart, then could there be something to this whole Lisp trend (even if it seemed like more of a university project than a trend)? And it turns out there was.

Loved or hated, you’re noticed. The pit of indifference is a bad place for an ecosystem to be. It’s long past time someone write about it in… well, in a way that can only be described as pg style. He had a knack for making young devs hungry for more. https://paulgraham.com/avg.html

The essays still hold up. They’re as true today as they were then. But no one will believe them without an example. I wouldn’t have believed it if pg hadn’t released Arc, and sometimes it feels like I’m the only one in the world that actually uses it to solve problems that I personally have.

But the nice thing about Lisp is that it’s always there, waiting to be discovered. It’s arguably one of the few types of programming ecosystems that can be discovered rather than designed. It’s precisely why there are so many choices. And it also doesn’t matter that nobody else uses it, just that you like it, that it solves your problems, and you find it endlessly fascinating. Hopefully our generation won’t be the last, at least for a long while.
AFAIK the is more probable if at least one of them met the other species while being young. Ideal case: both individuals met while being newborns.

That's the English transliteration. Don't forget that other Slavic languages also transcribe according to their own rules.

For example in Czech, Валерий would be transliterated as Valerij because "j" is pronounced in Czech as English "y" in "you".
Two economists were walking down the street. One saw a dog shit on the ground, and told the other: “If you eat that, I’ll give you thousand dollars.” Other guy looked at it, thought “It’s bad, but I’ll get $1000”, and ate it. His friend paid him, although he still regretted it because it was really bad. After some time, they encountered another dog shit. This time the guy who ate it before, seeking revenge of the foul taste in his mouth, offered $1000 for eating it to his friend. He accepted, thinking “I’ll gain the $1000 I lost”. He ate it and got paid. After some time, they stopped for a while, and one said to other, “I feel like we just ate shit for nothing”, his friend replied: “Oh, come on! We just contributed to the GDP by $2000, it can’t be for nothing!”

Show HN: "MedSearch" - vector similarity search app for medical image retrieval
- MedSearch explores the application of vector similarity search techniques to medical image retrieval. The core focus is on developing a proof-of-concept system that enables users to find visually similar X-ray images within a dataset using an uploaded query image.

Use Cases
- Radiology (Proof-of-Concept): Provides a tool for radiologists to quickly reference visually similar X-ray images, potentially aiding in diagnosis or identifying subtle patterns.
- Research (Exploration): Allows researchers to investigate potential relationships between X-ray images based on visual similarity.
- Education (Demonstration): Serves as a learning aid for understanding image representations and similarity search in a medical context.

System Architecture
- Deep Learning Model:
ResNet-50 (pre-trained on ImageNet): This model extracts meaningful feature vectors representing the visual content of X-ray images. We leverage a pre-trained model for efficiency and to avoid extensive training for this prototype.
- Vector Similarity Search Database:
Milvus: Optimized for fast and efficient similarity searches on high-dimensional vector data.

Workflow
1. Image Preprocessing: Incoming X-rays are resized and normalized for consistency.

2. Feature Extraction: The pre-trained ResNet-50 model (without the final classification layer) transforms each X-ray image into a high-dimensional feature vector.

3. Vector Storage: Milvus stores the extracted feature vectors, enabling fast similarity comparisons.

4. Query Image: The user uploads a query X-ray image.

Search:
- The query image's feature vector is generated.
- Milvus performs a vector similarity search, finding the most visually similar images within the dataset.

Results: MedSearch successfully demonstrates the core principles of vector similarity search for medical image retrieval. Users can upload a query image and see visually similar X-ray images retrieved from the dataset.

Feel free to use other metrics if it makes you happy. The point is that there is no historical basis to expect that technology embargoes against China will make them stronger over the long term. They are facing severe demographic and economic challenges, and will be hard pressed just to maintain their current levels let alone achieve major increases.

> We are also unsure if we should use an Apache / MIT license...

It is unlikely that you want an Apache/MIT license. That would allow your customers to take your source, add proprietary extensions and close it up without paying you.

You probably want GPL/AGPL with a proprietary option, so the choice for companies is it's free but you have to give everything you do back to us, or pay to keep it secret.

But I would consult a lawyer rather than engineers.

The original emergence paper has multiple "emergent" metrics. [1]

Though, the paper this article is about [2] mentions that among the "emergent" tasks they tested, 92% were measuring accuracy on either exact-string-match or multiple choice, so probably just bad metrics.

Freight trains can be 3 miles long. Apprently the locks are hilariously weak, and they are generally staffed by 2 people. Responding to a break in can take 30 min - hour, and the train companies dont really care because they have insurance.

To those still missing the point, it's easy to come up with a metric that's guaranteed to be a huge jump.

Eg. imagine a big corpus of arithmetic operations (say 2500 additions, 2500 subtractions, 2500 multiplications and 2500 divisions): you can test when a model passes computing all of those correctly, and it's probably obvious that you'll have a long list of "didn't pass" until you suddenly get it passing.

Yes, differential GPS was used to correct the error. It wasn't useful for military purposes though: it took a LOT of time to set up a base station and allow it to collect readings and measure the SA error values. It wasn't a quick thing. And, you had to know exactly where the base station was in the first place.

If you're a civilian doing surveying work, it was fine: you stick the base station at a known location, let it work for a few hours, and then you had high-precision GPS in that area. If you're a military power attacking someone on their own ground, it's not so useful. Even worse if you're at sea.
Well, the original commenter is not entirely wrong. Wayland would improve faster if things in real applications everyone cares about were noticeably broken.

Many apps do not use Wayland, but rather the XWayland fallback, so people are not up in arms about how broken various aspects of Wayland actually are for end users.

I don't know what will happen to China but both China and US have high hitters in the TOP100 lists and both have lower life quality than EU and Japan. What if giant corporations aren't predictor of anything but problems?

Giant corporations don't actually innovate much, the thing about them is that they can extract money from the society without doing much innovation. They are bean counters. Having the biggest bean counters isn't as cool as a TOP100 lists imply. If you read closely, you will notice that TOP100 lists are curated by some bean counting metrics, not innovation or anything like that. TOP100 by capital is where innovation goes to die. The best they can do is to buy startups and try to stay relevant when actual inventors invents stuff.
