Predictions of the solar system state are accurate only on "short" periods. The solar system is chaotic, and predicting its state after few million years is no more possible that predicting the weather for next year. This does not preclude making very accurate on short period.

Note that n-body problems are not particularly complex or hard to solve compared to other chaotic systems. In many ways, the existence or nonexistence of closed-form solutions is mostly a distraction: it merely reflects our choice of primitive functions and there is no sets of primitive functions that is stable for addition, multiplication, composition, inversion and integration. Typically, even the simple integral ∫ eˣ/x dx cannot be decomposed into more elementary functions.

But that doesn't matter in practice, because we are already using numerical approximation to compute primitive functions that are not implemented in hardware. Using numerical solvers to compute solutions to ODE is not so different. A good illustration of that point is that there is an analytic solution for the 3-body problem (in the form of an infinite series in t^{1/3}). But this solution is useless for computing orbits because it has bad convergence properties. In other words, it is better to use a numerical solver rather than stick to the analytical solution. And a similar phenomenon exists for polynomial equation of degrees 3 and 4: the exact formula is numerically unstable, and its better to use a numerical solver when one wants a numerical solution.

These evaluation-centric definitions of blunder are a bit awkward though.

Traditionally blunders were defined in more player-centric way: player blundered, when he made a mistake obvious enough, that a player of his strength is very unlikely to make. So what is a blunder for a strong player may merely be a mistake for a weaker player.

Problem with evaluation-centric definition is that not all moves that worsen position by 14% are equally obvious - if you hang a queen in one that is certainly a blunder, if you miss a non-trivial sacrificial combination on the other hand...
How could it be a construct of our modern times if their themes are consistent throughout history of humankind? Delving into mythology and legends which explore the nature of our kind, the description of male and female is fairly consistent.

Show HN: I made a site to find top YouTube courses, bypassing expensive courses
I don't know about you but I have already personally paid for online courses at more than €600 to become a better freelancer and I ended up hearing from one of the biggest creators of French-speaking online courses that in reality all the information sold in the online courses are available on the Internet.

It's just that it would take a long time to find them all whereas by buying an online course all the information is gathered for you and you don't have to search so yes this information are technically free but by paying for the online course you especially save time.

So I wondered if it was possible to find something in between so that I could not waste time searching for information scattered all over the Internet and not have to pay huge prices for mediocre online courses.This is how EduHunt was born, a platform allowing you to find the educational content you are looking for on YouTube with search filters in addition to the usual YouTube.

This is in order to find this information hidden in the YouTube algorithm and not have to pay a lot of money to have this information because most of the time this information is there, it's just that it is complicated to find it.

Would love to get your feedback ;)
I suppose Google being both the browser vendor AND an Analytics provider complicates things somewhat...
Is there some way of determining, whether the orbits, given some starting parameters, _at some point_ will become stable? I probably mean periodic. And I probably mean mostly periodic, with only slight deviation from orbits. And I don't necessarily mean that we can calculate/predict what they will look like in a stable form.

This reminds me of Langtons Ant, that has very simple rules, but at first still seems very chaotic. Then after some number of iterations it just shoots away in a regular endlessly regular repeating pattern. "Order came from chaos." So it makes me think, maybe there is not a way to tell, whether the orbits "stabilize" at some point, but maybe they will, and we simply don't know when or how to tell?
Courts are regularly imposing limits on what individual parties (notice the plural!) can do, what are you talking about?
"Let's sabotage the work of the people who do well" is a long tradition.

At one of the companies where I worked we got a lot of complaints about a certain thing. We got those because we were best, in the eyes of the complainers. We were closest to what they wanted, so they complained to us and hoped to make us do exactly what they wanted.

Their complaints didn't come across exactly as intended.

I imagine the German minister didn't exactly intend to make life hard for the good people of Botswana, and didn't think much about the difference between intent and effect, even if the latter was easily predictable, and I'm sure it was predicted by someone in her ministry.

It's not just financial engineering. It's a key step towards their goal of splitting the foundry and design businesses apart. They already manufacture chips they design on other people's foundries, and manufacture chips other people designed on their foundries. That's step one. Step two is to make both sides independently profitable.

At some point Intel might conceivably split into two fully separate companies.

There is some nuance here. As I understand it, intersectionality simply highlights that the experiences of a collective built from the intersection of several traits can be quite different to the experience of an adjacent collective. E.g. the queer descendants of Asian immigrants may often share experiences that are quite distinct from those of queer black folks.

I have no problem with that. My point of contention is whether or not it is okay to shush a person talking about a collective simply because they aren't members of it. Or more broadly, whether it is okay to dismiss, silence and minimize the struggles of a collective because of some twisted notion that they deserve it.

Why is it that we all agree that an old "boys' club" is repugnant, a "whites-only" association is disgustingly racist, but a "girls-only" lessons or a "black only" show are things to celebrate? We demand diversity and inclusivity, but somehow the more "able-bodied neurotypical white heterosexual male" checkboxes you tick, the less we care about your opinion and well-being, and thus the less important it is to include you. (And I only tick two of those)

Drones.

Water based drones instead of air. Would that make them more efficient, and able to travel further?

If not then it's pointless, but if so then I could see the nightmare scenario of a small submersible popping out near a port and a swarm of flying drones getting launched out of it.

It's a petition early on in the case, so it just needs to be based upon "information and belief". The fact-finding step of the multi-year process has yet to begin, but lawyers need to present the best plausible case possible at this stage.

> To mitigate such errors, we propose designating functions as unique functional tokens.

I just skimmed the paper but this seems to be the crux of it. They map functions to a single token and can then fine-tune models to use the token instead of the function name. This increases accuracy of smaller LLMs and reduces total number of tokens required for prompts and for generations, which is where they get their speed gains from.

The paper is worth a look just to see "Figure (2)"

I'm curious as to how food delivery worked in your country before Uber et al.

In the UK, outside of corporate chains, it was largely a cash in hand operation for both the restaurants and drivers.

Drivers would typically be paid a small sum for showing up on the night and then keep the delivery charge and any tips. The cost to the restaurant was pretty much negligible.

The middle-men, in addition to their own cut, have likely lead to a larger tax burden on many of the drivers and restaurants.

They probably also spend the money on pay rises. Does that also bother you?

When investors buy shares, they are in effect giving money to the company. It might be indirect if they purchase from some other holder of the share, but ultimately those shares were issued by the company and the initial purchasers gave the company that money.

Investors do this because they want a return. Either dividends or price growth or both. If there's no prospects for growth they will pull out their money and this will seriously hurt Intel, creating a downward spiral.

The US Government is subsidizing Intel because they don't want it to die. An Intel that has crushed its investors will end up on permanent subsidy life support because nobody will trust it with their money again. An Intel that uses some of those subsidies to keep investors on-side will retain their trust, and give it a pathway off government support and back onto raising funds from the markets.

So whilst this sort of thing makes the left very unhappy (often because they don't think of themselves as holding equities even when they do via pensions/insurance funds), it does make sense over the long run. Investors aren't an ATM that can just be raided at will. They're a coalition that can break.

Isn’t that half or more of employed software developers? The complexity that you speak of are poorly refined business requirements or unnecessary abstractions, which are communications problems not a technology problem. Nearly all of those CRUD app developers are replaceable right now, which is striking considering the current immaturity of AI.

Yes.

With intellectual pursuits, you can always find diamonds in the rough. Simply due to the effort YOU are putting in, given your then state of mind, knowledge and experience.

You can wade through a conversation on creationism and evolutionary denial and understand humanity or even deepen your skills.

However that's you - your unique circumstances bringing more to the table.

Others would very much appreciate a warning, because they already have working definitions, have seen this argument before and would prefer spending their time on other pursuits.

What if it isn't a bubble? I mean yeah it's overhyped, it's a bit _too_ easy to find capital as long as you slap the AI label on something, but the damn thing _works_ already, you can easily verify this by using it. Current LLMs may be ultimately a dead end and not the road to GenAI, but they are useful already today as they are, and likely will still improve for a while.
Tried this out today and it was great, was very quick to get up and running!

One question though – does anyone know how I can get my local dev environment to understand the libraries that are built-in to CFW's Python implementation? e.g. there is an `asgi` library that I do not want my linter to flag as unknown, but as it only exists at runtime in the `on_fetch` handler (and isn't actually present in my local dev machine, I couldn't figure this out.

Maybe it would be better if the agent would help people submit better reports instead of trying to fix it. E.g. it could ask them to add missing information, test different combinations of inputs, etc. I could also learn which maintainer to ping according to the type of issue.
I agree, it saddens me that they feel they can't (or maybe shouldn't) write about men because you are not one. As a man I can only learn more from the different perspective they would bring. If only one perspective is offered we all lose and in the past we lost a lot because of this.

If I am looking for free educational content I will not pay to look for it. I get that you're attacking the high price point of online courses with your far lower price point, but you're monetising something that doesn't need to be monetised.

Your USP is paying to save time. Again, people looking for online courses are time-rich, not time-poor. So, this seems very ineffective.

And you're using 'AI' as a buzzword with no explanation of what the AI is doing. It looks like a small LLM powering your searches, weaker than Google's SGE.
Show HN: An embeddable browserview, like hyper beam with source code
It's a bullshit number - ignore it. The same location could have had 1, 10, 1000 or 1000000 quakes depending on the threshold chosen. Or if just talking about ones you can feel, then the count varies a lot depending on exact location (and your sensitivity).

And the time and strength distribution of aftershocks is not linear - so the number gives you no feeling for what it means.
Depends what you mean by consistent. You don't have to go back too far before things get, well, different enough that they can be confusing to the modern observer. Obvious example: early 19th century dandies. These tend to get read today as kind of effeminate, unmasculine, because that's kind of the _modern_ view of a man who's obsessed with fashion, grooming, etc (or, at least, it was the late 20th century view; this one's actually beginning to swing again), but they _absolutely_ were not seen that way at the time.
I've heard from DJ friends that there are plugins that let Spotify play on [say] two DDJs at once, perhaps through Rekordbox. Perhaps even on a pocket computer. (I an not an expert on DJ fare -- I just hang out with these guys and help make it happen.)

And I'm sure that Spotify works usually, and I'm sure it's against the Spotify ToS, but I'm also sure that this level of reliance on end-to-end Internet connectivity is bound for inescapable failure.

Eventually.

(For our "little" pop-up off-grid DJ rig, which was not actually particularly small: I made sure we had redundancy for everything we felt we needed: Power, amps, sources, speakers, and the rest of the works -- except Internet. We assumed, going in, that the Internet would be useless and thus none of our actual-plans relied on it, and we also knew that we were pretty far from any civilization that could garner us replacement parts.)
Glad to see some scepticism. I agree that the development seems to have slowed for a bit. Claude 3 is a bit better than GPT-4 but if we continue with such tiny improvements every year its not enough to keep the hype going imo.

GPT-5 has to really slap.
I've had a few times when I bought lots of small items and it missed a few of them. Once, they were recognized when I moved stuff in the bin, another time I made sure I didn't move anything before paying and it worked in my favor.
It is easy to jump on defence of the platform one uses using a satirical non-take, but that leaves out details such as percentage of people under GDPR using HN compared to the other laws you mentioned, additionally basic compliance with GDPR, for the most part covers other data protection laws.

There are insurance companies that insure insurers. At each lever there are solvency requirements.
It's so subjective though. I think more or less people have this feeling with whatever things-other-people-call-art that they find boring/uninteresting/meaningless (as opposed to just bad). Which makes it feel less subjective, because the categorisation still allows for things you don't like to be art, but interesting/uninteresting is still a very subjective judgement.

(for example my subjective view finds explorations of abstract concepts to be a lot more interesting than most fine art, which most people would normally consider safely in the 'is-art' category)

The lesson I take away from this incident is that we probably shouldn't be allowing anonymity for core contributers in critical open source projects. This attack worked and the attacker will likely get away with it free of consequence, because they were anonymous.
GPT is great and useful.

But it reminds me of young kids who are verbally strong. Some 5-year-olds are amazing talkers, giving you the impression they have a very sophisticated intelligence at first glance. But the more time you spend with them, you realize they don't understand but imitate.

Although the kids will grow up and understanding naturally develops, many people seem to assume LLMs will take the same path, which seems less likely.

Lots of developers here, but also in the media, believe GPT is the precursor for AGI. Which is ridiculous; it's just an incredible token predictor. Its language capabilities might be useful, but AGI won't be possible without a self-correcting model that can actually reason. Even Altman hinted at that.

Interestingly enough, OpenAI seems to go all in on GenAI, or at least spend a significant part of its resources on it. Generating videos seems like a cool feature, and perhaps commercially viable at some point, but it doesn't seem to bring them closer to AGI. Not sure if that's shiny object syndrome, pressure from Microsoft, surfing the wave, or a big masterplan I'm not seeing.

GenAI will continue to have its purposes, some applications will become more useful with more specific models and more developed reinforcement models on top of it. So there is definitely a commercial use for those. But it will keep getting stuck on the accuracy part, the same place where AGI development is stuck.
