Just ask GPT4 about it. The only answer you'll get is that you're wrong. I'm sure.

Actually,
"Saying GPT-4 has a "better philosophy of mind than most people" depends on what you mean by "better." GPT-4 can access and synthesize vast amounts of information on philosophy of mind, including various theories, arguments, and counterarguments. It can present these views in a structured and coherent manner, perhaps more consistently than many individuals who haven't studied the subject in depth. However, it's crucial to note that GPT-4 doesn't have personal beliefs, experiences, or consciousness. It doesn't "understand" these concepts in the way humans do. It processes text based on patterns learned from data.

Philosophy of mind involves deeply subjective and existential questions about consciousness, experience, and the nature of thought itself—areas where human insight, intuition, and personal experience play key roles. While GPT-4 can offer detailed overviews, critiques, and comparisons of philosophical positions, it lacks the subjective perspective that often enriches human philosophical inquiry. So, while GPT-4 might be more informed in the sense of data access and retrieval, its "understanding" and engagement with the philosophy of mind are fundamentally different from human engagement with the same."

Oh wait, China doesn't have a E2 treaty. You may still be able to find a way via Grenada but I am not sure that tactic still works.
My guess was that feDisplacementMap was used for the ink-gain effect on the About page (try highlighting the text!), but I was delighted to see that it's a combination of CSS blur(), contrast(), and brightness() filters against a tiled blue-noise background.

This level of detail, especially when it's implemented in a performant way, really elevates the webcraft here. To the author: nicely done.
tinygrad supports uneven splits. There's no fundamental reason for 4 or 8, and work should almost fully parallelize on any number of GPUs with good software.

We chose 6 because we have 128 PCIe lanes, aka 8 16x ports. We use 1 for NVMe and 1 for networking, leaving 6 for GPUs to connect them in full fabric. If we used 4 GPUs, we'd be wasting PCIe, and if we used 8 there would be no room for external connectivity aside from a few USB3 ports.
China will be able to easily field ten million soldiers in 20 years. Their military keeps strenghtening. Their demography woes will cause economic and social problems first, not military ones.

I believe this supposed rush to take Taiwan is more about Xi's personal ambitions rather than strategic pressure.
I can't believe that humans would do that to other humans (and to themselves.) I wanted AI to take care of my daily chores like cooking and shopping so that I could devote even more time to my craft, not the other way around. These people won't end up to be on the right side of History.
with .NET Core you can do everything from the terminal and a text editor though
I don’t think this is a great line of argument. It hinges on choice, which rapidly degrades into an argument about free will and the nature of whether anyone truly makes a choice or if our apparent “choices” are just a rationalization of deterministic response to external stimuli.

I don’t think there’s a subjectively true answer to that question, so we just end up bickering over free will instead of AI.

If you just want to declare humans to be special, I would just go straight to that. Humans are already legally special in all kinds of ways.
> Health advocates praised the Environmental Protection Agency

which ones? which ones didn't? just 2 days ago i heard PFAS is still in the rumor stage.

> Water providers are entering a new era with significant additional health standards that the EPA says will make tap water safer

i thought you already said it's safe?

i have plenty of health issues caused by just about everything, everything has 10 billion perfumes for no reason, and new kinds of experimental plastics in every single possible thing you can buy, that smell terrible and unsurprisingly make you feel awful, just walking in a city and coming in fills my face with irritants and can ruin my day. this is a small difference in comparison. i doubt the PFAS thing is any more than a typical fad and way for gov to make money as usual. nobody actually cares about this stuff, they just pretend.
You keep saying he was inept, or obsessive about trivial details; even saying I have Kubrick genius blinders.

But you can't argue with the results of his process. He's literally the GOAT. It's not close.

The idea that everyone has to take things easy, or that you can get the same results without some amount of obsession, is not borne out by reality - because no one has come close.

If I'm wearing blinders for saying so, then so is every respectable film critic of the last how many decades... Weird that we all love wearing those "blinders", when all those "tiny differences" were "unimportant".

Details matter, and a little respect for other people's process is in order, especially when they're widely known as the actual best ever.

If someone can't see why Kubrick is the best, I can't respect their eye. Same as I can't respect the ear of a musician who thinks the Beatles were overrated.
> Because there are billions of people in Africa, India, Pakistan and so on. And you cant just let them all in.

> second tier countries

Maybe you didn't intend it, but your comment reads like you have an issue with immigrants of certain racial profiles. I'd suggest rewording, unless of course that was your intent behind the comment.

It also comes off as racist/supremacist to term certain countries as "second tier". Unless of course, that is intentional on your part.
> but it’s also expensive and usually requires windows

Can you please clarify what exactly is expensive and requires windows as far as .net is concerned?

Compared to 2016 the development and hosting experience for at least Linux (can't speak to Macs) has gone forward by a country mile. You can develop practically for free (no need to visual studio license since vs code exists) and target Linux environments during build so no need for windows server either.
I mean, the passing the bag through without scanning is facetious, but Australian (domestic) security is much lighter than the US. You don’t need ID, you don’t need a ticket, and until recently it was only metal detectors everywhere rather than full body scanners.

Also, it wouldn’t be uncommon to joke around (although there are some hard-asses); if they legitimately did recognise a YouTube, I could see them getting a selfie together.
sshd should not have used libsystemd in the first place for the trivial notification. And the ifunc stuff is its own security nightmare. Papering over this by dlopen-ing some libs in libsystemd does not address the deeper issues.
A friend of mine is on a TN status (Canadian) and has a lot of side-projects he’d love to monetize but feels like he can’t due to his status. What options does he have to make money off of his side projects barring returning to Canada?

Thanks in advance!
Biden Announces $7.4B in Student Debt Cancellation for 277,000 Americans
I don't know why this is flagged into oblivion. I'm sure most HN users won't agree because Kagi is very popular here but I don't think the arguments are bad or overblown.

Personally I don't use Kagi for 2 reasons: It's not significantly better than what I already have (SearXNG private instance) and I don't really subscribe to the "everything must be paid on the internet". I'm much more comfortable running some dockers and putting a privacy barrier between myself and google, as I do for my searches, for my phones, computers etc. Of course this kind of tech solution is not an option for everyone, but I don't care about everyone :) $10 is a lot of money for me and I rather spend that on something I control like 2 VPSes.

Also I think that once things go commercial eventually they will reach a scale where they will want our data too. After all, data is like free money. A business will never say no to free money. By due diligence law they're not even allowed to. Kagi has that luxury now, but once they become big and own half a northern californian town for their campus they no longer will. That's the idea of enshittification.
This is amazing. I navigated back to some previous targets and saw what looks like some kind of astronomical event, blue clusters lining up to some kind of explosion. Can anyone explain what Webb is seeing to the left of its target here?

His age is not a bar. Broadly speaking, there are visas available to really bright and talented young people (such as the O-1). The issue is that Russian citizens are typically experiencing significant delays now when they take the final step of applying for a visa at a U.S. Consulate while background/security checks are done.
> I am not here to complain about cancel culture.

A startling statement to read after a hook, thesis and 10 paragraphs that are all ostensibly focused on cancel culture.
> if you want to do OSM a favour, point people to the editor on openstreetmap.org, not any of the mobile or "simplified" editing apps.

If you want to make the time to take photos and take notes, and sit down later and enter them on your computer, go for it. Likely that's a faster way to do a larger entry. In particular, I haven't seen a mobile app that does a great job of polygon geometry editing — a mouse really helps.

But I don't think it's a problem to do simple POI entry or attribute updates from a simpler mobile app like "Go Mapp!!". I think like many things, the best mapping tool is "the one that you have with you".

Am I missing something?
> As of today, this has been acknowledged by one of the maintainers, whose sole feedback has been to "thumb down" the issue.

Looks like the OP, domenkozar, is that maintainer. Perhaps they'll reply to this thread :)
> I see summoning the threat of AGI to pose an existential threat to be on the level with lizard people on the moon.

I mean to every other lifeform on the plant YOU are the AGI existential threat. You, and I mean homosapiens by that, have taken over the planet and have either enslaved and are breeding any other animals for food, or are driving them to extinction. In this light bringing another potential apex predator on to the scene seems rash.

>fall for distractions while their LLM fails at basic math

Correct, if we already had AGI/ASI this discussion would be moot because we'd already be in a world of trouble. The entire point is to slow stuff down before we have a major "oopsie whoopsie we can't take that back" issue with advanced AI, and the best time to set the rules is now.
IR pictures would be not RGB, just black/white (or whatever palette you like). But yes, it would be possible. For ex. from Flir Thermal cameras, you also can output the image just as spreadsheet. You can even choose the values as temperature (which is calculated) or just as energy (what the sensor gets).

Hi Peter, what does a prospective founder on h1 need to know about starting up with YC? I’m really interested in becoming a founder however i currently work a full time job so not sure how much time I can legally dedicate based on h1. I also worry about the job safety aspect especially given my h1 (i do have an approved I140 if that matters). What would be the path to more flexibility that you have seen founders take?
Show HN: Real-time video clone trained on 100h of Sam Altman startup content
Our larger goal is to develop indistinguishable intelligent clones (IIC) so everyone can meet. We started with Sam Altman because we wanted to meet him as founders ourselves. OlaSam is available to use on Testflight if anyone is interested: www.getola.ai.

We are reaching out to personalities directly for permission. Our plan with Sam is to provide something helpful to early stage founders in private beta so we can go to him with validation.

Long term we see IIC as a world-changing event on the scale of AGI, but with natural interaction and greater connection between people. Anyone else thinking about IIC?
What? If they could have predicted the severity of WWII, Chamberlain and the rest wouldn't have tried to appease Hitler or delay.

Predicting the severity of events in advance is difficult. I wouldn't listen to what historians predict today. Every catastrophe is different, but despite this people like to pretend (after the fact) all the signs were there and were obvious.

For all we know Ukraine will stay confined and China will just keep being belligerent but take no action.
I made this observation by working in different companies and also looking at the statistics which companies apply for H1B. Amazon is far up and then Infosys, Tata and other body shops. Other tech companies are way down the list.
No, but who ever you hire should do this at a FIXED COST.

Let me say that again, this is not something where you're going to put down a retainer and have billable hours. You probably are going to go in more prepared as it's not your first rodeo.

FIXED COST.
I think it's great that the CEO wants to respond to criticism. It's certainly not scalable, but I don't see anything wrong with this response.

If someone stood in a public square shouting falsehoods about you and people gathered around to listen, you'd want to defend yourself too. The CEO could have written a public post about this blogger's personal attacks, but instead he tried to address them privately; the blogger pulled a 5th grader move and basically put his fingers in his ears and started singing "lalalalaala I can't hear you lalalalalaa".
He could change his TN to a Management Consultant but that would mean entering into a consulting agreement with his current employer (assuming that he also wants to keep this employment).
another thing i just remembered like this is how the start menu will fade in in windows XP, and submenus. but after you open one submenu and then decide to open another beside it, it admits that the animation is just a gimmick and doesnt do it again.

"Clustering of files by similarity using a similarity hash function" does anyone have an intuition of how similarity hashes work?
As a native Polish speaker I prefer English in many ways. One of the complaints about English listed in TFA is that the words are shorter than in Slavic languages. That’s actually one of my favourite things about English: words evolve to be shorter the more they’re used. This makes the language as it’s used more lean, more practical.

In comparison, in Polish the most trivial things often have elaborate names. Ironically, one of the words that irks me in that department is borrowed from English (or French more likely): the plural form of “photographer”. In English the singular form is in my opinion on the verge between comfortable and uncomfortable to use when used a lot. In English however the plural form has the same number of syllables as the singular form, so it’s still relatively comfortable. In Polish on thr other hand the plural form adds two full syllables (fotograf (3) -> fotografowie (5)), which pushes it over the edge into the land of unwieldy when used frequently. In this case I think Polish should invent its own word that is more consistent with names for other artistic professions, is shorter and leaner: “fotarz” after “malarz” (painter), with cases and all other grammatical quirks made analogous to those of “malarz”. And then the plural form adds just 1 syllable (ending up with 3): “fotarze”.
It's ridiculous clickbait then. I thought there was an actual fire inside the plane.
If you measure the circumference of the circular enclosure and divide it by the diameter, it's a close approximation to pi.
I recently had to get a replacement heat pump. In the process I discovered that the EU has a database of energy ratings for almost (actually?) all electric appliances sold in the eu. This includes heat pumps.

I scraped the heat pump data and am the proud owner of 100% of this information. What I found is that some of the available data is inaccurate and much of the energy ratings (A-G character rating) is inconsistent with the performance of the device, probably due to changing standards over the years. It’s nice to see initiatives like this which hopefully will provide better and more normalized data.

As a side note. Air-to-air heat pumps have, as most people know, two parts to it. The indoor unit, and the outdoor unit. Many models can be used interchangeably, so the domain of heat pumps is a bit more complicated than I first anticipated.
>Another thing you don't quite seen in real life: strangers that record a serendipitous conversation, to later post it for the whole world to see, to point and laugh.

In the thread linked above, I think his reasoning for posting the email is reasonable. I find this similar to what the Apollo dev did when discussing with Reddit people. If he didn't record the conversation or make it public, his words could have been twisted.

I swerved out of the way of the Flux architecture that took over the mainstream and kept using “uncontrolled” forms and a much simpler and more sane approach to state management. You know, treating a view as a view.

My current approach is using F# and Fable to compile to a React app that uses parallel client/server express middleware to support the same code handling a client without JS enabled as the SPA that handles when the client does have JS.

One use-case you didn't mention is when the user doesn't want ShadyISP to sell their browsing habits (which are conveniently linked to a billing address, name, and more), despite the user understanding that governments could still potentially have access.

>You're right that at the end of the day, it's just someone else seeing where you visit

You write this as if it's some trivial little detail. Who that someone is that is privy to your browsing habits is a significant detail.
What's current USCIS policy, in terms of months, for allowing out of status immigrants to be sponsored for say an H1B visa? 6 months, 1 year, longer?

Thank you in advance!
Your reply is not only a non sequitur, the claims you make about me are factually wrong. I have never had a facebook account, nor instagram, nor twitter, and I've never taken an uber. But you claim I've overdosed on the kool-aid.

My point was you are very cavalier about how easy it is for people avoid what is structurally difficult to avoid. For instance, rather than going to the website to look up information, one should go to the hospital and ask someone in person.

You should also have some empathy for people who have no idea that a hospital might sell their information.
Nix can be used to create Docker images https://nix.dev/tutorials/nixos/building-and-running-docker-...
My first job was working for an ERP software provider. If you're coming from a more "pure software" background, be prepared for a much slower rate of innovation and and a more conservative mentality. IME, things like open source software is also frowned upon because the suits in charge are afraid of "anyone having access to their code". Don't expect to really change anything with any new ideas for a few years, and even then, political "soft-skills" will be the most helpful for you to learn. These organizations can be very hierarchical and traditional, even in software-oriented company. If you don't feel that way after a few months, then congratulations you're in a really rare company!

You're right, it is much more difficult to self-research, since most of the information is locked away behind proprietary systems. 99% of people in this industry learn what their company does and their niche, but thats it. The fact that you are actually motivated enough to learn about your work outside your job means you're more motivated than almost all of your coworkers (unless you work at aforementioned rare company).

For general research I would say look at the websites of your company and its competitors on their promotional materials. This will tell you what they're excited about and what they want their customers to be excited about.

If you want to succeed at your company in particular, quite simply learn how your company does things from any internal docs or processes. There are lots of acronyms so learning those and building a glossary will help a lot. Building your own wiki (I use Obsidian and its great) as you go is also helpful, but that would apply to any knowledge job.

Are they profitable though? From the contents of these posts and emails mentioned in the article, it looks like they aren't yet.
1) Yes, the other benefit at the time was a browser would only do X number of requests per domain, using the CDN allowed more requests. Also it was a bandwidth issue from the server.

2) Yes. I should also mention at the time mobile browser cache was not consistent/reliable.

3) The "loader script" is a basic if(!lib.func) { do the magic }. Its one extra thing I suppose. For the overall page load there are lower hanging fruit.
Grossly simplifying, Alice and Bob may establish an authenticated channel either by physical means (a wire) or by some combination of certificates/passwords and out-of-band authentication. Most of the time, QKD implicitly assumes the former - a line-of-sight connection or a fiber-optics cable. In these circumstances the parties might as well exchange flash drives with one-time pads, similarly to how the Kremlin-White House hotline was protected.
