Not really.

"The infection was from drug-resistant staph bacteria. So John went back to the hospital and spent a month on powerful antibiotics pumped directly into a vein near his heart."

There are so many confounding factors here. Could be no connection to the episode whatever. Could be that the infection that required the antibiotics contributed to the autism. Could be the antibiotics contributed directly. Could be the overall trauma of the surgery, treatment and recovery.

Seems like the gut thing is the least likely culprit and requires quite a lot of creativity to even consider it.
Sure, but if you want to water the claim down to the idea that only extreme doses of antibiotics have noticeable effect sizes then its not a relevant claim to 99.99% of the population.
Explaining the Fire
I haven't reviewed any Kotlin codebases. My guess is that if people choose Kotlin then at least they had some opinions on languages, so I'd expect more. But as I said, that's just a guess.

On average Java codebases I have reviewed tended to be slightly better than the C# codebases. The C# codebases I've seen have tended to be more "garden variety meh" while Java tend to be either south or north of "meh" - if that makes any sense. They're more often either terrible or fairly nice. Though I've been lucky and seen more nice than awful Java. (There is a separate circle of hell for Spring and other metastasizing frameworks).

That being said, the all-time worst codebase I have reviewed was in Java. An EMV system written in a hurry with almost zero error handling.
I don't see the benefit of shoving every directory in / under /usr. / can already be a "snapshot of your whole system". Just mount /home separately if you don't want it included in that.

Well put!

My power went out for and hours-long stretch recently, and it only highlighted how much richer my life is because our society figured out how to provide everyone energy at very low cost.

The question now is whether we can keep doing so, while diminishing the externalities to a sustainable level. I think we can!

The next question is how to do it. There is no one simple trick that's gonna do it. In my view, figuring this out is the work of our era. In other eras, people have figured out how to make enough food to feed everyone, how to move people around quickly, how to communicate across great distances near-instantaneously, and all sorts of other things. I think this is ours. That's scary but it's also exciting. We can be heroes!
True, many factors at play.

The last time this code ran was in 2012, and computers and JS engines were slower then.

Also, my Comfy language interpreter is easy to bog down with sprite signal processing. The only cure for that is improving interpreter performance. I need it to run good on tablets and phones, lots of tuning to do in general.

I like your algorithm idea! Stensils are indeed a fast way to work. I think I'll still do better on a worker thread with bit swizzling in the CPU rather than reading back stencil video memory. I'll have to spike it.
That the archive URL is some generally accepted thing here seems bizarre to me. I mean, taking the text and hosting it elsewhere—that’s just an unauthorized copy, just like if somebody had posted a torrent of a new popular movie so we could discuss it. Or links to cracked software (how else could those of us who don’t want to pay for it discuss it, right?)

I respond to the headline/other discussion in the thread if it is interesting. IMO, the publisher’s decision of how they want their work distributed and discussed should be respected. That includes not making unauthorized copies, and also the fact that that constrains conversation about their work.

I’m surprised that we seem to understand this for software but not written word. And we mostly act accordingly: lots of discussion of open source works, not so much on “paywalled” proprietary software.

If you're a lyricist you can use these tools to make good songs that do have a message.

If you're a song maker you can probably use LLMs to put together a decent lyric or help in the process of turning your ideas into something that makes sense.

To think that you just press a button and something comes out of it and you're happy with that, eh, I mean it's possible but that's never what arts been about. You can get lucky, but you can have consistently decent results by just putting some more effort into the creation process.
Strange. Setting up the terminal - to escape from the terminal.

> 1 hour/day efficiency gain = 1 month saved per year

The idea that some terminal tweaks (theme, shell, tooling, etc) can save you an hour a day is pretty outlandish. It also doesn't seem to be accounting for all the time setting things up, configuring it, debugging it, and learning how to use it (e.g flags for ripgrep when you do want hidden files, key bindings for mcfly, etc)

My alternative approach would be to be _aware_ of the tools in a given space, but start with the dumbest, simplest workflow and only introduce a new tool when the friction of not-using it crosses some annoyance threshold.

I say this as someone who lives in a terminal (using fish, atuin, Zellij, Helix, etc), but adopted those tools one by one as made sense.

The transition in Gowanus has been pretty dramatic, as has LIC. Bushwick and Ridgewood (to a lesser extent) were already gentrifying by 2014, but the pace in both in the past 5 years has been dramatic. Further out/deeper in, I think I can say the same about PLG and Flatbush.

(As I said, I think the feeling of safety is not very different between 2014 and 2024. What's changed is that the city's "zone of interest" wherein people expect to walk around uneventfully and with things to do has expanded significantly.)
Not to be a debbie-downer: but where would you gain an hour a day from this..? Sounds to me like you’d work an hour extra from tweaking and enjoying your tools.
Well, I thought everybody knew already that Red Bull's success is mostly because of their best CFD model. When I worked in F1 (~15 years ago) we worked on ML models for the best pistons layout and such, but already on simulated windtunnels also. Very old tech, shaping F1 a decade ago. (in fact when Redbull surpassed Mercedes)

Nowadays we started using CFD in mundane and much cheaper things such as ship building, wind turbines, articificial surfing waves and building efficient greenhouses.
as framed in the introduction of this article, https://xkcd.com/1205 is hard to ignore whenever i'm spending time configuring a tool in the name of "productivity"

but i just got nushell properly set up and i've realised that the table doesn't capture the whole dynamic: there's more to work than time trade-offs when new tools enable entirely new types of tasks.

nushell makes working with structured data fun and so i've started benchmarking my code and quickly doing performance analysis - something i was rarely doing before.

you can still ultimately reduce this down to time saved, i suppose, but as a person who's generally skeptical of terminal tweaking as procrastination in disguise, i can highly recommend giving nushell a go.

> the most productive era of the PC was also when it was the most open

The openness certainly was great but it's not actually required. People can figure out how to work with closed systems. Adversarial interoperability was common. People would reverse engineer things and make the software work whether or not the manufacturer wanted it.

It's the software and hardware locks that used to be rare and are now common. Cryptography was supposed to be something that would empower us but it ended up being used against us to lock us out of our own machines. We're no longer in the driver's seat. Our operating systems don't even operate the system anymore. Our free Linux systems are just the "user OS" in the manufacturer's unknowable amalgamation of silicon running proprietary firmware, just a little component to be sandboxed away from the real action.
Is it really true though? If they scrape HN today I don’t think their sampling would be that “polluted” compared to 2022.

If you were to teach a LLM to play chess today - wouldn’t you use fully AI generated data because that’s by far the best data ?

Also:

In animals and human chimeras, this means an individual derived from two or more zygotes, which can include possessing blood cells of different blood types, and subtle variations in form (phenotype).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimera_(genetics)

For example, in 2002, news outlets reported the story of a woman named Karen Keegan, who needed a kidney transplant and underwent genetic testing along with her family, to see if a family member could donate one to her. But the tests suggested that genetically, Keegan could not be the mother of her sons. The mystery was solved when doctors discovered that Keegan was a chimera—she had a different set of DNA in her blood cells compared to the other tissues in her body.

maybe more like Bush. Clinton was the last president who oversaw a brief surplus in the federal budget and once said "the era of big government is over".

pretty wild to think that surplus was in part driven by the internet boom. now we have some kind of stock market boom while the federal deficit is 10% of total GDP and national debt is growing by a trillion dollars (a million times a million) every 100 days or so.

This will be a more controversial one, but I do find Amazon’s CodeWhisperer tool (the command line version, formerly Fig) very useful.

I dont think rebel numbers is an issue. It didnt take long for Facebook to get massive penetration using other modes of communication.

I think this will be a radical change for the better. Once the baseline quality and trust drops low enough, there is as an incentive for curation, walled gardens, and reputation based networks. I hope for the return of webrings, moderated forums, and quality standards for participation.

I also think it may finally break the hold of social media obsession. Outrage loses much of its luster when people realize the other end of it is likely a bot. This is a step toward asking "who is this person, and why do I care what they think."
> If the Atlantic currents do collapse, Europe will likely be covered by a glacier.

I think you misread the article here. Looking at Figure 15 (temperature change caused by a total AMOC collapse), it appears that Britain, Iceland, Scandinavia etc. would cool by around 2°C, whereas the rest of Europe warms by roughly the same amount. The consequences of such a strong temperature gradient are worryingly hard to predict, but don’t involve Europe being ‘covered by a glacier’. (Scandinavia, maybe? But not most of Europe.)
This post got downvoted, but there's a legit point here. I've found whisper's translated speech to text to be pretty decent, certainly compared to the reported quality of this bergamot-tiny used in the OP.

The reasoning for that rule is "fire hazard". There is zero exceptions.

The 2024 edition has 2x 20kWh allowance in a 1h fire proof room spaced 1m apart. And you need a series of fire prevention tools like an extinguisher and such. But that is not yet implemented.

Eh, there is so much that can be gamed here that any simple statement made about this is probably bullshit...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_white_woman_syndrome and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satanic_panic are prime examples of this. If you get the news (and now social media) blasting a message that you are in danger 24x7 it will have a very stressful effect on a large number of people putting them in a heightened state of fear even when the rate of underlying incidences has not changed. Moreso, because people are afraid and suspicious their average interactions with other people will amplify this effect.

People are weird social creatures and by just hearing stories we can fall into harmful lines of behavior. Suicide contagion for example https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK207262/.

Since it’s really application specific (what rows should be soft deleted, is recovery possible…), you probably want to model these like any other state. With Convex you can do things like schedule a deletion mutation 30 days from now, or run a cron job that cleans up data out of retention.

Nextdoor neighbor is an orthopedic surgeon. He says it is basically impossible to clear your schedule in any meaningful way.

Regularization as a concept is taught in introductory ML classes. A simple example is called L2 regularization: you include in your loss function the sum of squares of the parameters (times some constant k). This causes the parameter values to compete between being good at modeling the training data and satisfying this constraint--which (hopefully!) reduces overfitting.

The specific regularization techniques that any one model is trained with may not be publicly revealed, but OAI hardly deserves credit for the concept.
