You don't have to learn 60 different symbols, you only need two: https://mathshistory.st-andrews.ac.uk/HistTopics/Babylonian_...

An advantage of a small base is that you can use different symbols for each numeral and make reading much quicker/easier/less error-prone. 60 is probably too many to be optimal, but most alphabets work well with a few dozen.

No heating loads, it's a natural gas furnace. Loads are just lights, furnace blower, and other ancillary loads.

It's not exactly the same as just adding battery backup, because the marginal cost of adding battery backup to a solar inverter is far lower than getting an inverter for just backup purposes, and solar allows a smaller battery.

If you're deriving a number by repeatedly adding (e.g., 5 12 times), you should be bound to have a greater than average number of divisors.

So in some ways it's not entirely coincidental.

In fact, 12 is derived the same way, 4 fingers times 3 knuckles, so the only coincidence is that 4 is divisible by 2.

This is very relevant to me, I am also in the middle of learning Polish and in attempt to fast-track learning, I've started watching cartoons in Polish with polish captions on (The 90s cartoon X-Men is particularly great po polsku!)

Maybe you worked in some small companies or something where ICs can actually talk to customers, but when you're working in a 100,000 person company, that simply isn't something you do. If you go over your managers' head, they tend to get very angry, and that's just within the company, to say nothing about unsolicited contacts with customers from someone in a position that isn't customer-facing.
Given Bitcoin is at an all-time high, Ethereum is close, and if one held on to Bitcoin bought in most of 2019 they'd be up 10x, it seems not that obvious to me that the crypto skeptics were more correct than the crypto believers. Certainly not so much more right that the crypto believers should act as some cautionary tale.

> You can try that argument but it's not very convincing. I think you could do equally well arguing that slavery is the fault of Christianity […]

You can also argue for a Flat Earth, but all your arguments given would be bad: given that slavery existed before Christianity arrived on the scene, and early Christians (e.g., Gregory of Nyssa) argued against it, that would contain a bunch of bad arguments as well. The history of Western thought as outlined in (e.g.) Siedentop's Inventing the Individual shows how Christianity moved the needle from slaves to serfs to individual freedom:

This can further be expounded on in Brundage's The Medieval Origins of the Legal Profession illustrating how everyone—pauper to Pope—was afforded a fair shake at justice (due process in law) going back to (at least) the Middle Ages:

> The ancient Greeks (so, significantly before Christianity and also influential for "Western civilization") have a whole bunch of goddesses representing the idea of specific kinds of being nice to others.

And how many orphanages did the Ancient Greeks and Ancient Romans have? (Versus leaving children outside to die from exposure.) Or hospitals:

> The declaration of Christianity as an accepted religion in the Roman Empire drove an expansion of the provision of care. Following First Council of Nicaea in 325 CE construction of a hospital in every cathedral town was begun. Among the earliest were those built by the physician Saint Sampson in Constantinople and by Basil of Caesarea in modern-day Turkey towards the end of the 4th century. By the beginning of the 5th century, the hospital had already become ubiquitous throughout the Christian east in the Byzantine world,[3] this being a dramatic shift from the pre-Christian era of the Roman Empire where no civilian hospitals existed.[1]

The current-day 'Western values' are Christian values. The most recent instance of non-Christian values being practiced in the West would probably be Nazism, and before that Nietzsche's observation that you either accept a supernatural entity and have (e.g.) Christian values, or you have nihilism and morals are arbitrary (in After Virtue, MacIntyre outlines why any one system (by Kierkegaard, Marx, Kant, Hume, etc) is just as arbitrary as any other (agreeing with Nietzsche in the binary choice that is available)).

"That was totally incoherent" is definitely calling names in the sense that the HN guidelines use the term, and ask you not to do:

"When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. 'That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3' can be shortened to '1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

It doesn't matter if pedestrians are intoxicated. You should be driving slow enough to stop. Here in Japan, if a driver hits a pedestrian, they're always at fault, with almost no exceptions. It doesn't matter if some kid runs out in front of you: you're the one traveling faster, in a dangerous vehicle, so you should be able to stop. Because of this, vehicle speeds in residential or pedestrian-filled areas are generally quite slow; people only drive fast on the limited-access highways.

Any plans to support Redis' memory-based eviction policy eg `volatile-lru`? To me a great benefit of Redis is its guarantee of stable memory usage.
Odd that the most obvious hypothesis wasn't given: the crow was probably using its alarm call to warn other crows. Crows are social animals, who care about the fates of their "friends and acquaintances" — so they would do that.

But also, on a tangent, there is a bird that does this kind of non-conspecific alarm calling the time as part of its food-gathering strategy: the African fork-tailed drongo.

The drongo gives true alarm calls to food-rival species nearby, to tell them when it has spotted a mutual predator. This leads to these food-rival species coming to rely on these signals. But then, every once in a while, it gives a false alarm, to get the food-rivals to run away for a bit, so it can nab the bugs/berries/etc that the rival would have been eating.
It describes almost every role in the field of medicine.

What Nvidia Didn't Say – Groq
I work on statistical quality control methods for the hallucination problem. Model how difficult/error prone a query is, and prioritize sending it to humans to verify the LLM's answer if it's high risk. Some form of human control like that is the only way to really cut hallucinations down to something like human-equivalent level (human answers are unreliable too, and should be subject to quality control with reputation scores and incentives as well).

RAG can augment the LLM with specific knowledge, which may make it more likely to give factually correct answers in those domains, but is mostly orthogonal to the hallucination problem (except to the extent that LLM's hallucinate when asked questions on a subject they don't know).

I can see that about Pittsburgh. My wife did college there, and we've visited a few times. It's got the right mix of tech and working class, I think.

That's what I miss about Philadelphia. Actually, probably the only thing I miss, because there are a lot of problems in Philly, too. But the indie hacker scene in Philly was amazing. We had a lot of intermingled circles of entrepreneurs, hackers, and artists . If you wanted to get something done and make it a cool, weird thing along the way, you just had to show up at the hackerspace with some parts and beer.

I'm in the DC area now, since I got married 10 years ago. Nothing like that here. Lots of extremely intelligent people, but no desire to Just Make Things.

Most people use traffic deaths per 100k inhabitants when comparing, but that exaggerates the risks of US traffic because people in the US drive more.

For example the US has around 12.9 traffic related deaths per year per 100k inhabitants, and France has around 5. That's a ratio of 2.58:1.

But people in the US drive an average of around 23000 km/year. French people average around 13000 km/year. That's a ratio of 1.77:1.

That means that per kilometer driving in the US has about 1.46x the chance of resulting in a traffic related death as driving in France, which is much lower than the 2.58x that most people here would use when comparing.

In terms of absolute risk, which is probably what most people consider when deciding if their car is safe enough, the US has around 1 car related fatality per 130 million vehicle kilometers. For France it is around 1 car related fatality per 190 million vehicle kilometers.

Both of those are low enough that most people probably consider them negligible.

Well, approx. 45k people a year die from traffic crashes in the US a year. [https://wonder.cdc.gov/controller/saved/D158/D362F918]

And 48k from firearms (including suicides and accidents)

[https://wonder.cdc.gov/controller/saved/D158/D362F919]

COVID-19 is also estimated to have killed 48k in 2023.

Both combined are still less than from drug overdoses though.

Activitypub which, mastodon is based on, requires active cryptographic signature of everything.

"Citi CFO Mark Mason said today that the bank expects to make annualized run rate savings of $1.5bn a year from those 7,000 job cuts. This means the bank was spending an average of no more than $214k on each of those people, including employer's taxes."

Title is incorrect. If they cost Citi $214k each, I'd eyeball they were being paid around $150k.

This title is incorrect. Citi says cutting these 7k jobs is saving them $214k/year/person in costs, but not all of that cost is salary. There’s also employee benefits, services, office space, etc. I’d guess the average salary is about 60-70% of that. And as others have noted firing a few outsized earners will skew the pool.

As for SF: Most of the OGs left a while ago, it's basically like a post-Palo Alto now, a lot of AI startups, and a mecca for recent grads to keep feeling like they're still in college except substitute AI startup for school. They even look a lot like students, plus the typical SF activities: Biking The Wiggle, people running in the Panhandle, sunny days at Dolores, weekends in Napa.

On the entrepreneurial side, it's like these WeWork single-founder startups from the Great Lakes region (Michigan, Canada, NY) who are doing everything from crypto bro stuff to trying to build tech for acquire-hire, flying through engineers and designers to do so. On the enterprise side it's mostly companies servicing all these: Rippling, WeWork, Vercel, cloud providers, payment providers, Salesforce.

The entire Bay Area is getting calmer and more neighborhood-like: The peninsula and East Bay seem nicer than ever. A lot of SF people moved to Berkeley and Santa Cruz, and towns like Redwood City are really shaping up into lovely suburbs. Where I live (Upper Haight, SF) the old school skateboard/pizza/weed/fashion vibe is coming back, the Dead Heads are not a very strong influence anymore but there are some, kinda feels like a little 90s pocket here, but we lost a lot of live music and a lot of culture. The whole city seems to have lost a lot of music, restaurants, and entertainment - it's overall pretty boring right now. There's more spontaneous live music in Santa Cruz or peninsula. There's a pretty strong homeowner and gardening vibe in a lot of neighborhoods of SF, the Slow Streets thing is making it feel more suburby in areas. Bernal is stuck up beyond belief, just like before but multiply it, it's gotten more sophisticated, same homeowners up there as before, Good Life still there, remodeled but the same basically. Noe is strange, the babies are no longer babies but now giant 10 year olds, feels like an urban kid-ran neighborhood over there - strong cul-de-sac family vibes. More surfing and skimboarding at beaches than I remember from 10+ years ago, more action sports in general - skateparks have improved. Bike lanes and roads have improved, overall crime is lower and things are cleaner all over the Bay Area except for the classic bad spots of East Bay.

I've lived here for most of my life so it's hard to compare it to other places, I would say it's maturing and improving and I expect the West Coast in general to fill out like the East Coast over the next 100 years, so I take that into consideration with the overall growth trend. It's still very much a place of building and construction and growth. Though as I say this I've seen more "For Rent" and "For Sale" signs on buildings than ever before within SF - I think the surrounding areas are growing more than the city, the city is overall somewhat boring and quiet but I love it.

Hey everyone! I'm building a knowledge hub / workspace search tool that works off of Google Drive, One Drive, Notion and more to come via integrations. You can also store files, capture links and write notes directly on Beloga.

I'm building this tool out of a pain point I've experienced from my previous company where I was an engineering manager. I've faced multiple situations where I've had to context switch to answer questions from my direct reports, directors and project manager while working on something else. Believe it or not, the flow of answering questions can take some time as an engineering manager:

1. Receive a question on Slack / Email

2. Understand the question

3. Retrieve documents related to the question

4. Understand the documents

5. Transform / craft out a response based on the sources

6. Send it

7. Profit / get a follow up and the process repeats from point 1.

I'm hoping to cut it down to something like this (where AI and search does most of the work but I can still validate the response + sources):

1. Receive a question on Slack / Email

2. Pass the question over to Beloga

3. Understand the output generated from Beloga and double check sources (double check)

4. Send it

5. Profit (inquirer can ask follow up questions themselves)

I've considered other tools such as Glean, Guru, Unleash.so, Danswer and Google Gemini but they all require much deeper integration with the org which will obviously take a longer time for me to get an approval for from the CSO directly.

Security is definitely a priority for me especially since Beloga might come across sensitive organization docs but my overall goal is to build a tool that is easy to get started with especially for situations where use of Gen AI is permitted in the work place.
