Also I never questioned that some targets are non-Jewish. There being some non-Jewish targets who support the self-determination of the people of Israel doesn’t invalidate targets that are placed on synagogues, day cares, schools, community centers, bagel shops, etc on specious grounds.

I asked the console

"How can I visualize a decision tree trained using PySpark?"

and it very confidently gave me 4 detailed, step-by-step answers (including code!) that are utterly false and useless. :)
I find this extremely weird.

Why even use Scala then? Is it just for the implicits and long build times?

The Z80 has lasted a few years longer than me in the computer industry. It came onto the market more or less when I left uni and I retired 2 years ago. For several years in the 1980s I worked on Z80 based terminals and CP/M microcomputers. Most of that work was in assembler but I never really liked the Z80 architecture as I'd been spoilt by the orthogonal instruction set of the PDP-11.

Quill or Slate is the question im asking myself these days.
Oh, I do agree with that!

A language should be LL as much as possible. And also depend on the parsed data as little as possible. Stuff like C's variable declaration must be avoided.

But I don't think either of those rules can be made universal. Some language for expressing exceptions would be great.
> that may be true. but it doesn't take years before you can write code.

I never said it did. I mean, where do you think years of expertise comes from? It’s built one day of programming at a time.

For anyone reading this, I highly recommend attending the best college you can. The reason why is: the caliber of professor. I was lucky to receive (IMHO) a world-class engineering education at a university in Illinois. It would have been even better at an Ivy League school. But I have heard various accounts from students at other state schools and community colleges, and there's a distinct lack of nuance in their coursework.

For example, my statistics and probability professor explained everything by counting apples and bananas on his fingers. It sounds hilarious, but that's all probability is - counting the number of certain outcome(s) out of all possible outcomes. He broke down even the most complex problems into a series of basic counting operations. A less dedicated professor might have just regurgitated the course material verbatim.

Where this really matters is, I don't believe in complexity. Learning to learn is about breaking down problems into smaller pieces that are at most the maximum size that can fit in a human brain, and then working each problem until reaching the final answer. Once you can do that, you can tackle any challenge, like running hurdles, with full confidence that you will succeed in time and with enough resources.

Which is why I'm so hard on fields which I don't feel are mature yet, due to their byzantine terminology and barriers to entry. Some low hanging fruit might be: AI's obsessions with tensors, CUDA and the entire concept of a GPU (instead of just using symmetric multiprocessing), quantum physics, organic chemistry, biology, medicine, genetics, law, accounting (the CPA test for example), imperative programming (vs functional programming and fundamentals like Lisp and spreadsheets) and design/repair of internal combustion engines.

Now, paying for college is a whole different story. It stopped being affordable in the late 2000s, by design to enrich private interests and create a subjugated class that needs a job to pay off student loans, much like the scam of attaching health insurance to employment. The only feasible answer there is systems thinking. Which looks like working the problem backwards by enumerating the core problems and then deriving a general solution which allows everyone to attend for free, funded by taxes paid by automated robots and billionaires. I mean, that's how Star Trek works, why settle for less. Getting rid of billionaires is just a bonus.

Release notes: https://github.com/quilljs/quill/releases/tag/v2.0.0
Announcement post: https://slab.com/blog/announcing-quill-2-0/

I've used quill quite a bit. It's easy to integrate, the json delta format works decently well, and is pretty straightforward, but one thing I find myself doing whenever I use it is asking myself, "Should I just be using prosemirror?".

I find Quill to be a great stopgap solution for when I need editing and I need it quick, but in the back of my mind I'm always mentally adding that I'll need a migration plan should that specific feature ever grow in requirements.
Also makes it super easy to frame people: everyone is constantly shedding evidence, so just slurp some up and spit it back out somewhere you would like to "prove" them to have been.
You had to have the patience.

My older brother loved the Myst series, DoTT, Sam & Max and as a younger brother who used to sit and watch him play games, I got bored. His way of shoving me out the room because I would then hear him play GTA and not be allowed back in...

It's the same with any of those games. Day of the Tentacle, Sam & Max. -- You need that logical and forward thinking mindset and an attention span greater than 3 seconds. It's an niche genre and not for everyone and now it's a genre that's lost with time just because how the world is nowadays. Who has four hours to point and click around a realm?

I meanwhile just wanted to frag folk and jump around a CTF map on Quake 3.
> There is an absolute mountain of fatigue research that bears this out.

Any kind of sound research is going to conclude that a physically fit and healthy person has more endurance than a sickly and out of shape person. The former can work more hours than the latter in actual fact.

> Truck drivers and pilots are legally prohibited from working more than a certain amount of hours in a given period because if their performance suffers, people die.

Truck drivers and pilots are legally prohibited from working more than a certain number of hours because some of them are sickly and out of shape, if those ones were to work 12 hour shifts then people would die, and that provides a convenient excuse for their lobbyists to demand rules that reduce the labor supply.
LLMs are impressively good at confidently stating false information as fact though. They use niche terminology from a field, cite made-up sources and events, and speak to the layman as convincingly knowledgable on a subject as anyone else who's actually an expert.

People are trusting LLM output more than they should be. And search engines that people have historically used to find information are trying to replace results with LLM output. Most people don't know how LLMs work, or how their search engine is getting the information it's telling them. Many people won't be able to tell the difference between the scraped web snippets Google has shown for years versus a response from an LLM.

It's not even an occasional bug with LLMs, it's practically the rule. They don't know anything so they'll never say "I don't know" or give any indication of when something they say is trustworthy or not.
Ethics are discussed very little in current philosophy, at least in the analytical tradition. Plato is mostly of historical interest, and of Kant's work it's mostly philosophy of mind, epistemology and metaphysics.

Logicians are somewhat different in studying formal systems, and there are strong links to (foundations of) mathematics. But logics are typically developed and analyze to study some otherwise philosophically motivated questions.
Pragmatic Drag and Drop
Wirecutter did a write-up on a similar stirrup hoe that works "in half the time of pulling weeds by hand:" https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/garden-weeding-to...

Both have long handles for use while standing up, but grampa's weeder seems to target one weed at a time while the stirrup hoe is meant to cut several roots in one go.

So perhaps use grampa's to dig out dandelions from your lawn, but a stirrup hoe to get all the weeds between the plants you want to keep in a flower bed or garden.
I believe the implication is that those companies uses the library in their products to power rich text editing
Show HN: Toastful – an AI tool to write witty wedding speeches
You’re transitively trusting everyone who can 702 anything in AWS which includes NSA/CIA who thanks to the Five Eyes presumably share with GCHQ.
Hi HN! Hope you all have a great day. My first ever "product launch" so I am half excited and half nervous. I started learning basic web development (html/css/js) exactly one year ago (first console.log("hello world") on 13 April 2023) and today I am happy to launch a web app - a simple AI tool that writes witty humorous wedding speeches using openAI GPT-4 model. It has been used by some people in a closed group and the feedback was encouraging.

People outside the tech sphere usually don't know how to correctly prompt chatGPT or other LLMs to write something decent. That's the idea behind Toastful. It asks you a series of questions and kind of guides you into providing the necessary information for writing a good speech. The final result is a much better speech that you can confidently deliver in front of people.

I don't have a background in CS so learning all the new tech stuff was really fun. I experimented with fine-tuning GPT-3.5 models as well as a method inspired by RAG to make the output in a specific tone and voice by feeding it sample speeches delivered by people. For now, the RAG inspired method is working satisfactorily but I am constantly playing with the prompts. Meta announced their LLaMa 3 model as well which seems really fast so that is on my list as well.

On the web side, I used NextJS along with Tailwind and Postgres for data persistence. The entire app is hosted on Render ($7/m starter instance).

I would love to get feedback/suggestions from more seasoned devs. My aim is to make this tool a lot better and useful for people.

P.S: The final speech is behind a paywall so if you want to try it for free, you can use FREE100 to bypass the credit card requirement.

Thoughts on a platform for AI agents to pay and hire humans?
hey folks, we have been building AI agents since last year and seeing many other passionate folks attempt on the same. We think AI agents will always require human help to be able to make payments, click on captchas, post a mail in physical world, call someone up, etc etc
we are envisioning a platform where AI agents will be able to make a function call to deploy capital and hire a human with the right skill for the task

This will ensure AI agents are able to get shit done even if it goes beyond their capabilities by using funds given to them by their developer.

example: your AI agent figured it has to buy a new creative and is unable to make a payment, it can ask human to make a payment to buy the creative and pay the human $5 for the same. we need to figure out a lot of things but wanted to know your thoughts on the idea.

if you are an agent developer, please fill this form: https://bit.ly/agent-developer
if you are a human who would be interested in completing the tasks, fill this form: https://bit.ly/human-for-ai-agents

Not just that but when ISBNs were first introduced, it was common thought that they were used for cash register price scanning rather than computer-controlled inventory, so a number of early books had ISBNs re-used by publishers and it wasn't caught because they were meant to be the same price. These days you often see two barcodes on books, one is the ISBN and the other is the price.

Nudists vs. Buddhists; an Examination of Free Will
I have really bad white-coat hypertension. Like 150-90 in the drs. office. So every time I go in they send me home with a chart and I have to dutifully record my blood pressure a couple of times a day for 2 weeks and send it back to them, and when measured at home it's totally fine.

Since I have the cuff I check it every so often to make sure it's still fine and it is, but the moment I get in a drs. office boom it spikes. This is even true when I'm there for someone else like my son or my wife. I can feel that my blood pressure is high.

I have absolutely no explanation for why except that I had a major surgery when I was 5 and there must be some suppressed trauma from that that comes out physically when I'm in a doctor's office.
Ahh, okay. It was the "I" in "I interviewed" that confused me. I thought it was just you interviewing 13 people every weekday for three years, and maintaining the website by yourself. I think that would either be impossible, or a job fit only for a maniac. I understand now.

This is essentially the Copenhagen interpretation of ethics. If you interact with a problem you become responsible for it. Improving someones situation is unethical while doing nothing isn't. This is because improving their situation makes you become responsible for it still not being good enough (according to the pundits who do nothing).
No, I don't think they are.

And I claimed that hyperbolic Nazi comparisons are far more common when dealing with Israel than with any other nation. That is not saying that people don't protest other nations.
Lol. The most PG blob storage I've used in prod was a couple hundred GB. It was a hack and the performance wasn't ideal, but the alternatives were more complicated. Simple is good.
That is incredibly interesting to me because i've heard both historians, linguists and people "just not from the anglosphere" complain about just how isolated and limited our language, cultural perspectives are.

In other words if LLM's could somehow bridge that gap through both regions and time i'm pretty sure something magical could happen, different than the already a bit tired and conformist "echo chamber" like quality to LLM's mostly trained on reddit, corporate speak, and anglo pop culture, or even just western thought in general.
I'm guessing that was GP's joke.

Similar to Vonnegut's joke at a memorial service for Asimov at the American Humanist Society: "Isaac is up in Heaven now".

Show HN: Talk to Me Human – my game about social persuasion
Hey all,

I recently graduated from a good PhD program studying NLP. Unlike any sane person who would go become a professor or make a gazillion dollars in industry, I decided to try bootstrapping my own software business. This is my first product.

The inspiration was from my research on computers understanding social norms. When ChatGPT came out, I was amazed how well it could understand social etiquette. I thought it'd be fun to make a game where you have to talk your way out of sticky situations - like you miss your friend's birthday party, or your boss catches you trying to leave work at 2pm.

I made a prototype in a couple days, and it was super fun to play with. I thought I'd spend a "couple months" making a game for others to play online. Now, only 10 months and 923.3 hours of work later, it's playable in early access.

In the game, you talk out loud (ASR), and the NPCs (LLM + TTS) talk back at you. It is fun to play with a friend! And because it's just talking, non-gamers do great, often better than gamers.

I really want to have a free demo, but no time yet to implement. For now, it's purchase only ($4.99). If anyone decides to try it, I'd really love to get more feedback. It was an enormous learning experience, especially targeting the web - so many partially supported web APIs and browser inconsistencies! Still feels like 2008 in some ways.

Also happy to answer questions of course. Thanks, and enjoy the weekend!
The question was would you feel "intimidated and threatened", not whether it's a problem or appropriate for the workplace.

I'm a fan of Result types in languages that incorporated them as part of the design (say, Rust), but I'm not convinced that they're the right answer for Java. Result types only really make sense in a highly expression-oriented language, and while Java has taken important steps in that direction it's really not there yet and likely never will be.

I think a more fruitful path of exploration is improvements to the ergonomics of checked exceptions. Semantically there really is very little difference between checked exceptions and Result types (OP's argument to the contrary is a straw man and proves nothing), the main reason why people fought their use in the early days of Java was that the ergonomics were pretty poor. I suspect that there are a few tweaks that could be made with modern PL techniques that would make checked exceptions feel more comfortable (analogous to the addition of ? in Rust), and since they've been baked into the language for decades now through thousands of existing libraries the returns from making them easier to use will be much higher than the returns from creating a new "standard" way to handle errors in Java.
a truly beautiful exploration of that idea is landis's "the melancholy of infinite space": http://www.geoffreylandis.com/infinite.htp
> or put throws everywhere

Or put Result/Error etc. type everywhere. It’s literally analogous.

Yeah, that's been my experience. Everytime I see my primary my BP is elevated in the office and they send me home with a log and I have to take my BP multiple times a day for 2 weeks and at home it's fine, so I've never been put on meds for it even though it's very high in the office.

This one has too much fake looking body movement and looks eerie/robotic/uncanny valley. The lips don't sync properly in many places. Eye movement and over all head and body movement is not very natural at all.

While EMO looks just perfect mostly. The very first two videos on EMO page are perfect example of that. See the rap near the end to see how good EMO is at lip sync.
