For me, personally, React makes up too many new things just with potentially slight modification and thus adding unnecessary layers of complexity. Then it is incredibly painful if you're ever in a position to debug someone else's code when they were using react. It's not as bad as having to deal with graphQL but it's still pretty awful.
Israeli children are taught to hate the people the Israelis violently ethnically cleansed, and are currently perpetrating a genocide against. Israeli children singing, “Within a year we will eliminate them all.”

https://www.aljazeera.com/program/newsfeed/2023/11/21/israel...

There are ugly racist hatreds by the Israelis against the Palestinians-- because the Israelis resent the fact that the indigenous Palestinians still exist-- after all of the Israeli attempts to brutally, barbarically eliminate them.

There is resentment against the settler colonialist Zionist Jews who stole the homes, land, dignity and lives of the indigenous Palestinians. The Israelis who frequently subject the Palestinians to massacres (Israelis call these regular massacres of Palestinian civilians, "Mowing the lawn"), preventing access to food in what Israelis have turned into the worlds largest concentration camp, now called the Gaza strip (Israelis call starving the Palestinians, "Putting the Palestinians on a diet", preventing access to clean water (Gazan ground water suffers saltwater intrusion due to the huge population in a tiny strip of land that the Israelis haven't yet ethnically cleansed* [70% of Gazans are refuges from past episodes of Israeli violent ethnic cleansing of Palestinian territory now called Israel]), etc.

I don't think teaching hate of anyone should occur, but it seems far more understandable that the Palestinians would have no love for their brutal Israeli oppressors, than the hatred the racist genocidal Israelis hold for the Palestinian people simply because they exist.

* Two months into the genocidal bombing of Gaza, The Israeli PM, in a ceremony, dedicated a new illegal Jewish settlement in Gaza. Made some comment about how the rubble of the Palestinian's homes would please the new settlers. The Israelis are attempting to violently ethnically cleans Gaza, and claim the territory for Jewish settlers.

It doesn't give me much confidence in the company's seriousness about quality. When I see these kinds of things in applications, my mind starts thinking, "OK, I wonder what else they half-assed?" Does the main functionality really work? If they can't even notice problems that you can literally see with your eyes, what important invisible things are broken, too? Should I really fork over hard-earned money for the premium version if they can't even get basic shit right?

It's been co-opted into the phrase "AI" in the same vein that "cloud" was used in "Cloud Computing". It's a marketing term to make the technology more appealing. That's why half the people started using the term "AGI" and even with that we see the tech companies leveraging the hype the marketing teams are bringing in while selling the illusion that building a computer smarter than a human brain (something we still barely understand) is feasible in our lifetimes or ever.

(2-3 well-crafted sentences is all that most compelling ideas really need. Plenty of space in an HN comment. It's not Twitter.)
How else would I know e.g. you can't collapse comments without JS enabled on HN or that you eventually get a more usable experience after investing the time unless I've already tried such operation in the browser before? It's worth at least thinking through what I've said before trying to call it out as blindly ignorant. Not that either way really steers the discussion towards the points made anyways.

Also if you just whitelist every site the instant they don't work it's not exactly a security gain. Maybe it helps with ads UBO isn't catching out of the box or some other angle though. The amount of security you gain from this is proportional to the amount of effort you're willing to invest in making sites work. As an example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40069834 site works fine without one day, then suddenly doesn't so you whitelist or futz around until you find something like the /embed trick, until that either changes some day too or you've given up and just whitelisted every site you go to anyways.

If you read their case, it sure seems compelling. It seems like Lina Khan had to write down her CC on a piece of paper, questioned how they will store her info, and a week later promptly launch a CID once she went back to DC.

The whole thing is quite funny. If I had that power, I would probably launch an investigation too. In the same time, kudos to the lawyers.

The lead developer of Melodyne, Peter Neubäcker, has one of the most precise and concrete understandings of timbre. He used that knowledge to create software which changes pitch without changing speed or timbre.

There's a neat documentary floating around which includes some scenes where he explains how he increased his understanding of waveforms in the frequency domain by physcially modeling them in the time domain.

I think Tor has done an amazing job at keeping those away who don't want to put effort into niche web-surfing, and those easily scared and/or duped into not discovering less-charted territories. Not to mention, it costs a LOT of money to mirror clearweb material on the deep web - and it's a grueling process. I wouldn't be surprised if the Internet was re-wilded in the context of Onion routing and Tor relays.

No, you've only discussed the Retrieval part of RAG, not the generation part.

The current workflow is to use the embedding to retrieve documents then dump the text corresponding to the embedding into the LLM context for generation.

Often, the embedding is from a different model from the LLM and it is not compatible with the generation part.

So yea, RAG does not pre-compute the KV for each document.

Pretty much what I had intended by that comment, yeah.

2. What does exist, can you name one thing? Because everything isn't what it seems.
Nvidia doesn’t control the exchange rate, so if it really changed by 2x, then everything you said above applies to AMD or any other GPU company too. When comparing today’s prices for both GPUs, the exchange rate is irrelevant since it’s the same for both.

> I don’t think there’s a single game I can get acceptable performance at 4K on a 4060Ti or even a 4070, that I can’t get acceptable 4K performance on a 1080Ti.

This is a very different claim than you made above. Yes, all the GPUs since the 1080 can get “acceptable” 4K performance on most games that will run on the 1080 (I assume acceptable means >= 30fps), so that’s not surprising. This is ignoring the game quality settings. The benchmarks you pointed at demonstrate that if the settings have a 4060ti running just barely at 30fps, then the 1080ti will not be able to hit 30fps with the same settings, because the 1080ti is 17% slower.

That's exactly the famous P!=NP question.

Scott Aaronson might have some good intro material on his blog. Otherwise, you can just ask your favourite search engine (or AI bot) for some intro material.

> For instance, I found the definition of NP as P if you have an NFA, to be super easy to understand. But when that wiki starts talking about "certificates" I just have no idea.

The certificate is the 'cheatsheet' or 'hint'. Basically the question is, how well can you do in an exam where you have to show your work, if someone gives you all the answers? (But that guy is a troll, so you can't trust him, and still need to verify everything.)
Wish the Anunnaki just left notes on how they did it. Joking aside, suddenly gold is all over the news, e.g.: "Composite material adorned with gold nanoparticles improves infectious disease testing"* Gold is also going up in value due to global instability. What I am really getting at is - are there any "actual" applications at this time? Also, if anyone feels like summarizing what I could google - did graphene ever live up to the hype, or still too expensive to produce and not quite what it was advertised as?

Doesn't sound too bad or too surprising. Most back office and RevOps was outsourced decades ago, and played a major role in making Ireland, India, and Phillipines what they are today.

Reading between the lines, I think they might be offloading some of these RevOps roles to Accenture or Deloitte based on the locations mentioned.
In regards to your last question, it’s “an LLM”.

The distinction between using “a” vs “an” is one based on the immediately proceeding syllable sound rather than the letter. If it’s proceeded by a vowel, then use “an”, and if it’s proceeded by a consonant, use “a”.

Because “LLM” is pronounced “el el em”, the first syllable sound is “eh”—a vowel.

The same letter may need different “a”/“an” article based on how the word is pronounced. For example “an LLM” vs “a layer”.

See this for someone smarter than me explain it: https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/is-it-a-or-an
I previously used yt-dl, then yt-dlp. So for it works nice.

But, CLI only can be intimidating for non-tech users. Let's say there are multiple high resolutions of a video: 1280x720, 1920x1080, 2650x1440, 3840x2160 etc. By default, yt-dlp will fetch the highest one, which is 3840x2160. I want 1920x1080 instead. What I do is fetch the 1920x1080 video and the highest quality audio, then join those with ffmpeg.

A GUI to easily do that is definitely a nice addition.

Good! Check your political beliefs at the gate when you walk in. If you don't like what your employer is doing, you are free to quit. It's a 2-way street.

Every 2 weeks your employer settles their debt to you. This is a transactional relationship. If you choose to accept a paycheck, you have to accept the rules and regulations that come with working at that place.

If the company is doing something illegal, you are welcome to file a whistleblower complaint and take it up with the authorities.

One thing that does make me chuckle when I see "retro" setups on reddit is the use of a crappy 13"-14" monitor from 1993 surrounded by hardware from 1998 or 2002 or so.

This doesn't surprise me though. The high end Sony monitors always had trouble with flyback transformers and people that had those were quick to replace them with whatever the latest tech at the time was. The crappy 14" monitors were cockroaches that never broke. Now they get to torture zoomers with 60hz 800x600 lol.

> And as a South Asian, you likely would not have counted as "white" — maybe legally you would have been, but as a practical matter an awful lot of people would have treated you and your family as "colored."

If you think I’m the least bit phased by that: I had to defend my interracial marriage at a Bangladeshi wedding last year, in Canada. (And by that I mean I deflected about there not being any Bangladeshi girls in Chicago because we don’t make a scene about stuff like that.)

I have never met a white Republican remotely as racist as Indians, Bangladeshis, Arabs, Vietnamese, and Chinese people I’ve encountered.
I wonder if something like this would've worked. I always mentally think of flex box as having a primary axis that's like a rope that runs through the container, and the children are stuck onto this rope.

```

display: flex;

// The flex axis is the axis where items get added. So horizontal would add things to the right, vertical to the bottom

flex-axis: horizontal;

flex-axis-align: center;

// Normal as used in math to mean perpendicular to the curve

flex-normal-align: center;

```

Or `flex-align: center;` for short.

This would give a decently simpler mental model with only three terms: the flex axis, the flex normal, and the alignment.

And actually it would allow some interesting natural extensions! You could do `flex-axis: path(...)` to specify an arbitrary curve to position your elements on.

Any edge cases I'm missing as to why this wouldn't work?
Interesting app. I was thinking about this just the other day in the midst of the Humane AI pin reviews and the article about COVID-19 brain fog.

I agree with everything you posted. In SF's case, the city is hoping to turn CPSF into a full MOU.

For the time being, the lowest per-kWh rate in SF is based upon the CPSF discount, time-of-usage discount, below-baseline discount, winter discount, income discount, EV adjustment, and exact schedule chosen, plus the overhead effect of fixed fees and minus the special twice-yearly climate credits. Did I miss anything? :)

I have no idea what it is, but it's somewhere between my initial figure ($0.15) and yours ($0.35.)
I think if your focus is on actually educating people, and you're willing to invest your resources in those people, you can do quite well. If your focus is on scaling and creating an appealing image to investors, the education part isn't so easy.

There's probably something to who you're attracting as well. If your pitch is "come work hard with us and we'll help you learn", you draw people who are ready to learn. If your pitch is "come take out a [loan we won't call a loan] with us and we'll make you a bunch of money", you draw a different set of people.

That's not even saying anything against the students of Lambda school. I believe one issue has been people joining to improve their economic outlook, while working a different job to continue paying bills. You have to be pretty thoughtful about how you work with people who have a tight schedule. You can't just throw your curriculum and your expectations up in the air any time you want, and expect all those people to "pivot" with you. But the focus always seemed to be more on the "success" of Lambda school than on the actual success of every student.

From all the stories that come out of Lambda school, it really feels like the classic predatory view of students. They're not so much learners as they are potential sources of money.

Part of it too is not just age but also careful engineering to breed out bitter compounds. Case example: brusselsprouts

"About 30 years ago, a Dutch scientist identified the chemicals that made brussels sprouts bitter. He selected seed varieties with lower levels of the bitter chemicals and bred new high-yielding varieties that tasted less bitter."

some of it is to do with age too though. :P
