Me too! As I grow older, so many of my early supposistions have been proven wrong.

Regarding WWII, this has been one of the most interesting threads on HN which I have participated in. For a further example of "it's more complicated than we are taught in school" see my crazy comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40089205
The hard part is telling apart the tradeoffs of the new "code like this" claims, which often time are shit that fails to even consider the problems fixed by tlthe "old and busted". I mean, how come software development is the only field where everything done by your predecessors are shit?
Personally not in appointments, but I have seen vendors observe doctors in hospitals. But you can always role play for example.
Hi Ben. Great project. I'm playing with it right now in looking for "comps". Will ping with feedback.

The "owner" could be multiple directory levels depending the hosting service. Gitlab lets you have arbitrary sub levels. The owner of the files also isn't necessarily related to the owner of the repo on Github.
At least in the US, most schools are still on the TI train. People have others, but most of the the time they suggest you get a TI-84, which is still super expensive and still a Z80
it is almost a definition of ignorance, to mock something that is not understood.. the hubris of science building the castles of economics are literally taking the world down ecologically right now.. both "rational" pursuits.

I'm very surprised to see this considering the models aren't chat-tuned and shouldn't be used for chat, at least, by the disclaimer Meta provided.

I wish they didn't include the disclaimer just for the sake of having one, they provided a chat format, so they must have trained _some_ chat, and we can see here its good enough at chat to not act like a pure LLM, or even close.

Labelling it with a disclaimer it doesn't need causes general confusion in scenarios like Phi-2, which had no chat tuning but great scores, so people couldn't understand "why it didn't work".
Note: The article shares a common misconception about beetle anatomy, that the thorax is short and only has one pair of legs. Like all other insects, beetles thoraxes have three pairs of legs. It's just that their abdomen is shorter than it appears.

See this video from Clint's Reptiles for the explanation: https://youtu.be/-aV78eNbdTU?si=DCe3ZUx8C6IKlXJe&t=978
My impression is that this is the most common view. I also think it's the view that's most likely to be correct, though, so I may have a bit of selection bias here.

It is certainly contrary to the view held by some subsets of people, though.

I work at a biotech that does intersecting research (predicting disease risk). We obsess about temporal variation at various time scales and the effects are quite real. We use multiple data planes (multi-omics) to evaluate temporal effects across diverse biology. Our goal is to ensure that our long-term predictions are minimally impacted by short-term fluctuations.

You're probably the only person in the whole thread who is going to bring up saturated vs unsaturated fat which is always missing from the "they lied about fat" / "we need fat" story-telling.

It's (probably accidental) motte-and-bailey rhetoric where someone provides the motte "fat isn't bad for you" and then grants themself the bailey "therefore I can eat saturated fat ad libitum" when in reality you'd want to minimize saturated fats while allowing unsaturated fats in the diet.

Yet "low carb" is basically a euphemism for eating butter, eggs, meat, and cheese rather than unsaturated fats. The whole thing seems built on that motte-and-bailey.
48v is a pretty big leap forward that I bet other automakers will replicate. So is assembling the interior (seats, console, etc.) onto the battery and lifting it into the vehicle.

> you've already started with the assumption that the only way to expand human knowledge is by "science"

No. I'm not assuming anything. I am making the empirical observation that the most effective method for expanding human knowledge is science. The people who understand this and consequently put effort into studying science I call scientists, and I don't intend that to be an honorary title but a genuine show of deep respect.

For sure the author is missing the point, but that doesn't mean macOS is normal. By most definitions normal in the consumer, non-mobile space would be whatever Windows does. And, there's things Linux & macOS share in common (unseen, CLI) and things Linux and Windows share in common (Desktop environment behaviors). Given most people interact with a desktop environment than a CLI, I'd say macOS is the abnormal one.

I'm at the front of the line, I maintain an app with integrations with all 4 major providers and llama.cpp with 4 built-in models. Yesterday, I was one of the, if not the, first to get it integrated and flag to model makers they had the wrong chat template embedded.

That's a lengthy way of saying, contra what you imply, I have practical experience & understand this stuff intimately.

I agree with your opinion re: it's unlikely LLaMA 3 70B beats all private models, but think your way of relaying it, claiming there's widespread gaming of it by advocates for open models, is obviously incorrect, and adds more confusion rather than reducing it.
Yeah but that's not fun, that's tedious work 99% of the time that culminates in some rare fun.

> This was a revelation to me and got me thinking: what is OOP actually trying to solve?

This is the problem in a nutshell.

Someone comes up with sensible advice, and like a bad game of telephone it gets stripped down to some brain-dead phrase that gets parroted around by reflex. And it's everywhere in software. It was always things like "prefer composition over inheritance when possible" - people chose to ignore it, and go ham with sprawling inheritance trees and design patterns for different languages because of a superficial understanding of software because we optimize for all the wrong things. There's interview questions where they'll ask what are the four pillars of oop or some nonesense, and one of them will be inheritance or something and so if you're not doing it that way, it's bad practice.
Ask HN: What should I build this weekend?
Hey HN! Have any software products (preferably web applications) you've always wanted to see built out but never had the time to implement yourself?

I think it’s easy to get turned off by Žižek’s kind of bombastic approach to explaining philosophy to lay people. It’s also, I’d say, hard to develop sympathy for continental philosophy, especially if we are American, and a lot of his positions seem kind of like nonsense if you don’t understand some of the underlying frameworks he uses (something he shares in common with a lot of continental philosophers) or if you don’t bridge the wider gap between reader and writer that continental philosophers tend to have.

Žižek has made comments about so many different things, so publicly, that it’s hard to avoid finding something you disagree with. But it’s also hard to avoid finding something you agree with.

Without having to squint, 12 of those languages are easily categorized as OO languages. Given the mindshare of those 12 languages, I don't think it makes sense to say that "OO programming is mostly frowned upon." [emphasis added] Maybe it's frowned upon by some, maybe even many, but if it's mostly frowned upon then a lot of people must hate their work.
I thought that surely the ELO ratings were on a different scale than the usual chess ones, but nope, it uses the same factor of 400: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1RAWb22-PFNI-X1gPVzc....

That means we truly do have a long way to go. However, it's also possible that user questions don't have enough 'difficulty' to distinguish -- eg, if the proportion of relatively easy user questions is high, then there are fewer opportunities for a better model to distinguish itself.

> I guess I'll refrain from explaining what's wrong here....

Seems reasonable.
Some models are better than others, for example Claude 3 Sonnet will refuse to answer because it doesn't know who Tim Bray is, and I imagine GPT-4 will do the same, unfortunately open models are not at that level yet.
> These days, OO programing is mostly frowned upon.

Only in certain circles. For the software world as a whole, "mostly" is rather an overstatement. (For that matter, for the software world as a whole, "mostly" is an overstatement no matter what claim follows the "mostly".)

> OO added the idea of implementation inheritance to interfaces, and that's mostly a bad idea.

There is more than one flavor of OO. Not all of them support implementation inheritance. You're using a feature of a sub-part to complain about the whole. (In fairness, though, this is a thread about C++...)

Current best practice is "prefer composition over inheritance". There are places, though, where inheritance is the correct answer. When you hit those places, use it. Where it's not, don't use it.
True, but I was talking about a change in the rate of defects. If rapid expansion is causing a greater number of defects than is normal, then something about that expansion is likely the root cause.

In the big picture, of course, everything has defects.
Yeah, maybe, but there are also laws in the US that makes some forms of protest against israel illegal for federal employees. These protests aren't just about the outrage du jour, they're about israel, the us government's greatest i̶n̶f̶l̶u̶e̶n̶c̶e̶ ally.

>Signed into law by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis last May, SB264 (23R) prohibits nationals from China, Cuba, Venezuela, Syria, Iran, Russia and North Korea from buying homes in the state.

In 2022, a GPT-3 model fine-tuned on Dennett's writing was good enough that "Dennett experts" could only pick a real Dennett quote from a list of 5 quotes about 50% of the time.

Media-specific content-addressed stores (ideally as overlays which refer to but don't change your directory structure or file organization) seem to be the way to go with this.

I think photoprism and photostructure don't really care about your directory structure or organization, but paperless(-ngx, or whatever is the most current iteration) is "notorious" for being opinionated about organization / not wanting to respect your organization.

I used camlistore/perkeep for photos for a while, but google photos has an absolutely killer feature of knowing who is in every picture, even accounting for age: although two of my boys who are 8 years apart look really similar at similar ages, it knows who is who. I don't know if it uses facial analysis or photo metadata or what, but it has never mistaken one for the other. I don't have a reasonable way of getting that tag information out of google photos (even though I'm paying for the service).

It might be time to revisit this, though.. I don't recall whether photostructure / photoprism try to do facial recognition, but even if they don't already, I bet they'll soon be roughly on par with google photos (or good enough that I can stop depending on google for this).

That's documents and photos / videos, what about music? For better or for worse, It's been at least a ~decade since I tried keeping my own music collection as files. Are there things these days like paperless / photoprism, a library system for music that has deeper integration with the content than just "files on disk"?
Can't we imagine a bag of clocks at the Big Bang origin that were synchronized and allowed to travel in all directions along with various sections of the ejecta, including one on Earth?

Okay, but you initially criticized Wittgenstein, the philosopher, not Tractatus, the work. Wittgenstein himself would agree that Tractatus is deeply flawed. He wrote his more influential works later, and they went in a completely different philosophical direction. You're criticizing a philosopher as "pooh-pooh-able" for a work that he personally disavowed and does not represent the positions he is best known for.
Animation is much lower framerate than live video, motion can be extremely exaggerated and the underlying shape can depend on the view, i.e. be non-euclidean.
Additionally there are fewer high-frequency features (think leopard spots) that can be cues about how the global shape moves (leopard outline).
And of course things are drawn by humans, not captured by cameras, which means animation errors will be pervasive throughout the training data.

These things combined mean less information to learn a more difficult world model.
The TI83+ CE (color edition) was made because they couldn't get the crappy LCD screens anymore, so they were forced to upgrade the screen, and also upgrade the CPU a bit (now it's an EZ80) because of the higher-resolution frame buffer.
Regulations that don't solve a problem won't solve a problem.

Lots and lots of regulations are ok to exist only as long as they do something useful. If they are useless, piling more useless ones isn't better than the alternative.

On the real world, we tend to have plenty of the useless ones, and only a few of the very useful ones. When someone complain about the first set, people are quick to throw the second set at them like if it addressed the problem.
Although Microsoft refers to their implementation of the standard library as the STL (and this is convenient naming, since one of its most important maintainers is STL, Stephan T. Lavavej) actually the STL and the C++ standard library aren't the same thing.

The Standard Template Library is Alexander Stepanov's generic programming achieved via the relatively new (at the time) C++ Templates feature. At this point (the late 1980s through early 1990s) Generic Programming is an obscure academic idea, it's not how normal software works. Stepanov is persuaded to present his library to WG21 ("the committee") in 1993 and their work is eventually standardised as C++ 98 a few years later.

The most important part of the STL is the algorithms, generic algorithms are an amazing idea. The collections, eh, they're nothing to write home about, there are a dozen takes on the iterator problem with different trade-offs, but this idea of generic algorithms unlocks so much power and that's why lots of languages grew generics or for new languages had them on day one.
Traditional NNs didn't work very well either, until we were able to run them at massive scales. That's why they didn't see much adoption or use until the late 2000s/early 2010s. SNNs are much more difficult to run at scale, but that difficulty is solved with analogue computers[1][2]. We don't have details, but I'd bet this is just Intel's crack at a modern analogue processor, with some design concessions specifically for running SNNs.

> you seem to be taking for granted naive views about metaphysical realism, scientific realism, and truth that are not trivial to defend, even for experienced philosophers.

No, I'm not taking these things for granted. I am simply making the empirical observation that the scientific method has produced vastly more tangible progress than other methods, and it has produced this progress in areas that were previously believed to be inaccessible to science. Science works in ways that no other method does.

> mystical nonsense such as the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics

It's not mystical nonsense, it's a logical consequence of the mathematics of quantum mechanics. You may find it distasteful, but it's the way the world appears to be. You may not like the idea that clocks in space run faster than clocks on earth, but that is also manifestly how the world behaves.
