Nobody seems to remember plasma TV's? It was the closest to CRT I used. 240hz, 1080p bliss. Yes, they were kinda heavy and power hungry but I still miss my 2013 Panasonic Viera

Edit: It was actually only up to 96hz, but gaming on it didn't feel like there was too much motion blur
They are premium, not a luxury. Never was a luxury.

As for competition in USA - name some cars that are competitive with Model 3.

In AU/NZ we do have quite a bit Chinese cars that are about 30% cheaper than Teslas, albeit much smaller and has less features, so they really compete against other small ICE vehicles.
Elon should resign from Tesla until they pay him (or not). If the stock price drops, shareholders will pay anything to get him back. If it doesn't drop then they don't need him.
Yeah. But regular aircraft carriers are smaller for carrying similar aircraft groups, because they only need to by less dense than water, not air.
My problem with this is that it doesn't explain a lot.

You can manually make a vector of a word and then step wise get up to word2vec approach and then document embedding. My post[1] does some of the first part and this great word2vec post[2] dives into it in more detail.

No, this was never possible, not in web development. You could do it in one browser on one OS, but then they could be off on another browser on another OS.

It's absolutely a technological problem because pixel-perfect rendering and alignment is not part of the HTML/CSS specs, when it comes to how fonts get drawn.

The only way to actually get it perfect is to do browser and OS detection and then hand-code a bunch of manual offsets that you keep up to date. And obviously that would be insane.
“Some Gen Zers protest, claiming that higher incomes are a mirage since they do not account for the exploding cost of college and housing. After all, global house prices are close to all-time highs, and graduates have more debt than before. In reality, though, Gen Zers are coping because they earn so much. In 2022 Americans under 25 spent 43% of their post-tax income on housing and education, including interest on debt from college—slightly below the average for under-25s from 1989 to 2019.”

The author is using a poor metric to compare. It is not the % of income spent on housing that matters, but the % spent per unit housing quality. If you compare a boomer and a gen Zer, both spending X% of their income on housing, what quality housing is that getting them in comparable areas?

There are software solutions that exist yes, (DOSBox Staging as mentioned below, certain RetroArch shaders look very good) but neither really represent an actual product — DosBox Staging is supposedly zero config but simultaneously requires configuring a DOS environment. Replicating a shadow mask, or curved screen for example requires fiddling with shaders, not to mention aspect ratio, the size, or display resolution.

In any case, most emulation software is geared towards gaming — many art galleries for example still use CRTs for preservation (https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/17/t-magazine/technology-art..., https://youtu.be/rHBtmPZx82A?t=1828) and these software solutions don't really fill the gap of a general-purpose CRT display.

Well, if you have to presuppose that the gospels are true then you are probably arguing with a tiny slice of people: those who believe the gospels are more or less accurate down to the specific quotes of Jesus but do not believe he was the son of God. I would say that "accept Jesus as a good human teacher" is a far broader category than this and nothing about it implies a particularly strict belief in the truth of the gospels.

I'd also say that, even accepting the gospels, we have to really take wide views of "liar, lunatic, or Lord" to make it work. Lewis himself further described the "liar" as akin to the "Devil of Hell" - I wouldn't characterize the liar I described as such. And he said the lunatic was akin to "the man who says he is a poached egg", but people are great at compartmentalization and can hold some very silly specific beliefs while still being otherwise rational, sane people. Even "Lord" admits plenty of things we wouldn't recognize as Christianity, e.g. rejecting the trinity or plenty of other heresies.

I enjoyed part 1 of the article and began reading part 2 where it mentions Barry a few times, but when I read and re-read part 1 I see no mention of Barry.

FWIW I think that Barry becoming a Maria is entirely possible and consistent with the age old "5 Monkeys" office fax meme.

So you want to transform the problem into: keyword search on graphs. Each of your affinities match some node in the graph and the problem is to find the relations and intermediary nodes which connect the answer node to the given affinities.
The alternative is to charge them as a juvenile, and to refrain from inferring a guilty conscious from their lack of "contrition" (which is a patently ridiculous thing to expect from an 11 year old - which is the real issue with charging children as adults, not that they supposedly are more reformable, but that they cannot be held to the same standards as adults).

You're engaging in a slippery slope fallacy. This was a miscarriage of justice. Civilization would not have crumbled if this child wasn't put through the wringer.

As I'm trying to work on some pricing info for PGVector - can you share some more info about the hacker news posts you've embedded?

* Which embedding model? (or number of dimensions)
* When you say 6 million posts - it's just the URL of the post, title, and author, or do you mean you've also embedded the linked URL (be it HN or elsewhere)?

Cheers!
OLED itself doesn't solve motion blur. But at least the Alienware one they recommend has a high enough refresh rate to mostly solve it. Getting such high refresh rates at 4K is sort of unrealistic without some other visual tradeoffs at least. Though of course motion blur only "really" matters in certain games. (To my eyes it becomes "acceptable" at around the 144 Hz level.)

The BlurBusters site has explored various other approaches over the years. Black frame insertion to reduce persistence has been tried, but requires high brightness and can create flicker. AI upscaling or interpolation stuff could help with frame rates.
NZ is great example, recently blessed with new government. EVs now pay same road user charge as 3.5 tonne diesel truck. There were some promises to start charging gas cars using same model, but right now an efficient hybrid pays 2-3x less in road user tax than EV.

Still it's at least 2x cheaper to drive EV - power is super cheap here while gas is expensive.
> I can't ready my city's sub

Interestingly, my (smaller) city's sub has quite a cozy community. There are sometimes lively debates, and we do have a few complete idiots hanging around, but for the most part, it is a pleasant place to be.

My county's main sub (r/Canada) on the other hand, is mostly moderated by foreigners with far-right connections. Yesterday's budget announcement was initially greeted by a flurry of positive posts. Less than 24 hours later, most of these had been removed by the mods, and replaced with a barrage of negative posts, obviously originating from Russian misinformation farms.
From time to time, I read articles on the boundary between neural nets and knowledge graphs like a recent [1]. Sadly, no mention of Cyc.

I'd bet, judging mostly from my failed attempts at playing with OpenCyc around 2009, is that the Cyc has always been too closed and to complex to tinker with. That doesn't play nicely with academic work. When people finish their PhDs and start working for OpenAI, they simply don't have Cyc in their toolbox.

True, I was in too distracting an environment to do that calculation, but it still feels like its a logarithmic return on extra compute. How long before the oceans start to boil? (figuratively that is).
Depends where you live. If you got cheap power and expensive gasoline TCO of EV is no doubt less than ICE.

That's misplaced empathy, and I don't think you'd speak that way if you actually experienced it, and the way they terrorize everyone.
I think these short form videos will hurt us in the long run. Thank you for sharing this.
I tried to make something along these lines (https://truebase.treenotation.org/).

My approach, Cyc's, and others are fundamentally flawed for the same reason. There's a low level reason why deep nets work and symbolic engines are very bad.
I couldn't find any generally-available 55" CRT that ever sold; the largest I could find was the 40" Sony KV-40XBR800, which some quick Googling seems to indicate weighed upwards of 300lbs.

So your 91 pound TV has a significantly larger screen, and still weighs less than a third. This still seems like a win to me.
How does the federal government have authority to regulate state warrant requirements?
from 2015-2019 i was working on a bot company (myra labs) where we were directly inspired by cyc to create knowledge graphs and integrate into LSTMs.

the frames, slots and values integrated were learned via a RNN for specific applications.

we even created a library for it called keyframe (modeling it after having the programmer specify the bot action states and have the model figure out the dialog in a structured way) - similar to how keyframes in animation work.

it would be interesting to resurrect that in the age of LLMs!
Maybe. I don't disagree with you at all really, but I don't think it's "Christian apologetics" who get derided in academic spheres. Being openly religious (specifically Western religions, other world religions get virtually no pushback) at all is considered gauche. People I've known to be religious in these spheres are typically very quiet about it. I'm not religious, but lean more towards agnosticism than atheism and I don't feel comfortable sharing that in these circles. If there's any place you should be comfortable saying "I don't know" it SHOULD be this one.

It's also really weird in fields like archaeology/anthropology in North American institutions where western religious texts are given no consideration (not that they should) whereas Native American creation myths are given a kind of deference. White guilt is a powerful thing.
> I know that some version of this can and does occur with classic web scraping too, but that is an arms race that a search engine can win

Cloaked links and cloaked ads still happen on direct requests, too -- a search engine's crawlers come in a widely known IP range (or if they start using unknown or new IPs, they become known soon enough) so even spoofing the user agent of the bot isn't a reliable workaround.

I'd say the arms race is still escalating, though I've been out of that game for a little while I'm still rather sure of that.
I'm sure there are a surprising number of Brillant Paula Beans[1] still employed in software roles. No idea how you can pass a technical screen and multi-day interview loop without knowing anything about writing code, but it keeps happening.

Every pixmap is in much higher resolution nowadays, fonts have much more characters, more buffers are used, people use caching and precomputation more because it makes the apps snappier, etc.
That was a much better review compared to this blog post.

Misplaced empathy. It isn't some disabled people like on a wheelchair, but people suffering from brain damage that makes them terrorize their surroundings. You can hardly find a better solution than to make places unbearable to them by intentionally triggering their hallucinatons.
I've been in a lot of from arguments but never had one where I was later proven right by the federal government. That's quite the feather in your cap.

When I got laid off at SFDC, I found out that they wanted to get rid of certain localities. Heroku was always a remote friendly place, which apparently irritated some of the new Microsoft-derived management; the story I heard was they wanted to consolidate Canada's talent in my branch in Toronto and Vancouver.

I'm glad I left as I got a large pay raise and didn't have to move to Toronto; but I wouldn't say it was random, just based on metrics unrelated to the individual's contribution.

> the terrible people won ... you're likely living a worse more jaded life

Respectfully, I think this is rather judgemental (I realize the irony that I am judging you, too :)

It doesn't have to be a battle, there doesn't have to be a winner. Everybody is free to explore their limits and boundaries, and put energy into the areas of life that they find most fruitful.

Maybe OP really does want a kick-in-the-pants "get back in there and fight!" pep talk — in which case, ignore me. But maybe they just decided that it was not their particular hill to die on. It takes all kinds.
I think before 2022 it was still an open question whether it was a good approach.

Now it's clear that knowledge graphs are far inferior to deep neural nets, but even still few people can explain the _root_ reason why.

I don't think Lenat's bet was a waste. I think it was sensible based on the information at the time.

The decision to research it largely in secret, closed source, I think was a mistake.
One of the earliest labor principle is "if you can do it, you'll be forced to do it". Sometimes adding your capability will result in more burden to you instead of less. This is why sometimes it's a good idea to hide the fact that you're good with computer to your family; lest you become their tech support.
I am scared of layoffs as much as the next guy but the "invest in training" story is not possible at all when employees can jump ship with 0 friction.

On the contrary, I got the idea from Kaluza Klein theory, which unifies general relativity and electrodynamics by converting the electric charge into spacetime curvature.

Roughly, my concept is conserved quantities are topological defects, which is why they seem to have a neat “algebra” and integral quantities.[1] Conversely, mass comes in fixed but non-integer quantities because the total curvature of some complicated knot doesn’t have a simple algebraic expression.

[1] Makimg the fractions disappear is easy. Just multiply by the denominator. E.g.: we say the electron has a charge of -1 because we discovered it before the quarks historically. If the quarks were discovered first, we would assign it a charge of +3.
The main reason is that we refuse to spend money to address the root causes of crime. We won't fix urban poverty or the failing urban education system so most people choose to live in car-dependent suburban hellholes that make our youth uniquely miserable. Some of them shoot up schools, leading to zero tolerance policies and to moral panic campaigns to ban some inanimate object as the culprit that is supposedly corrupting kids.

If we had a functioning safety net and opportunities for people who grow up in the inner city to achieve a better life that doesn't involve playing professional sports, we'd be a mostly urban population like a normal country and we wouldn't have the teen mental health problems that only we have or the school shootings that we've only had for the past 30 years or so of the 400+ years we've had gun rights. We won't do that because that would involve spending our tax dollars for the benefit of people who aren't millionaires, billionaires or corporations.

You have a typo with “elligible” should be eligible.

Hypervigilance is more of a trait of anxious attachment style. You have not seen hypervigilence until you’ve seen an anxiously attached HSP. But securely attached HSP are some of the most successful people in the world.

They used to work at Apple so they feel that they can match Apple’s success but doing it the “Apple way”: internal iterations instead of early feedback ie the Build it and they will come strategy which is hard to get working outside of Apple.

Hams still have and use them.[1]

I'm not a ham, because I don't want to hang out with self-appointed cops, so I got a new Chinese pager made up with a center frequency of 433.5MHz (ISM, unlicensed), then configured it to work with a Pi-Star rig radiating well under the EU/Irish legal power limit, and receive messages infrequently enough not to run afoul of duty cycle limits. Because I know there's some ham who's just salivating to track me down and quote the rule book to me, and I want to deny him (it's always a him) that pleasure. It reaches all the way to the far end of my farm!

You can get traditional alphanumeric belt loop pagers or snazzy modern wristwatch pages these days. Check AliExpress.

Politically active Googlers and Meta employees have to be some of the most annoying people in tech.

Google and Meta are stalking us all over the Internet, and leaking personally identifiable information to their ad services customers.

Google is destroying the free Web by crushing competition in non-competitive ways.

Meta was just shown to spy on competitors.

Google and Meta are participating in a wave of destruction of information on the Internet via generative AI. Generated garbage is polluting the Internet.

Meta's participation in the mental infection of youth worldwide is crazy. How many young people are committing suicide or experiencing mental health issues because of the platforms and algorithms this company has created?

These are all aspects that these employees are aiding and abetting by choosing to sit idly by. I tell Google and Meta recruiters that I'm not interested when they reach out partially because I do not want to participate in these grievances.

Please stand with me.
The first two pictures on that page show 4 RAM chips on each side of the board.

This document directly talks about splitting a 32 data bit connection across two GDDR6 chips, on page 7.

"Allows for a doubling of density. Two 8Gb devices appear to the controller as a single,
logical 16Gb device with two 16-bite wide channels."

Do that with 16Gb chips and you match the GPUs we're talking about.
Yes - it's the light frequencies that let us differentiate colors, but we're not always going to perceive the same color each time our frequency detectors (cones) detect the same frequencies, since color perception is more about the whole scene and what we're experienced before.

Another simple experiment that proves this is when you put on color tinted sunglasses or ski goggles - initially everything will seem color tinted, then after a while colors go back to normal.

It's not just color - the whole idea that our eye works kind of like a camera and what we see is what is is really there is wrong. There have also been experiments done with prism-based inverting goggles that make everything look upside down... It turns out that after you've worn them for a while then everything flips the right way back up again and looks normal to you, even though the googles didn't change.
What if you optimized inputs based on the strategy? E.g when you're in the air pressing down has no effect, or more measurably, the code paths between runs where you do or don't press down are very similar or completely converge. Similarly, jumping while running on a flat floor at full speed doesn't affect the game much, so prune it.

Maybe call it "strategy-informed tactics"
