Imagine the conditions for German 18 year olds if a country like Russia, which has no qualms about conscription, or forced labor for non-Russians starts to take European countries.

Required military service sucks, but so does Putin.
Ok, I was trying to be polite. Not everyone has such an academic definition of "labor", and I literally didn't know that police unions weren't categorized like the other public sector unions. In general, saying that police are not "labor" is a position, even if it's the obviously correct one.

Why would it be bad faith to share your position? Also
All Soviet countries fell into sharp demographic/fertility collapse in the 90s when the USSR collapsed, and most never entirely pulled out of it, including Ukraine. So most have severe demographic issues in the ~20-30 year old range. Conscripting this group is reckless for these nations, because not only are there not many of them, but they're who should be creating the next generations. Here is Ukraine's population pyramid [1]. For contrast this is what an extremely healthy population pyramid looks like. [2]

Good luck finding that. Women tend to not be interested in men who earn less than they do. I think the closest you may find are women temporarily supporting their husbands while they finish their degree or something like that, but again, the plan is for the husband to become the main earner.

It is sometimes presented under the myth of "men threatened by women who have a big career", but I have never seen researches supporting that. Men don't care if women earn a lot, note that they don't prefer it, they literally don't care. It is not a criteria when choosing a partner. Women do care a lot though about finding a partner who earns more than they do.
But, you did want to, so much so you used an app to ensure you did.

If my partner cared enough about me to ensure they used tools that helped them express it... I'd be flattered.

Have you used the app? Perhaps the ideas and reminders are along the lines of "put their fav songs in a playlist for your next car journey together"

That's actually a good one. Ima do that.
To my taste this is not very illuminating, it feels like the answer is produced via a magic trick.

My personal preference for understanding linear recurrence relations (and understanding where/why sqrt(5) shows up for the Fibonacci sequence) is via eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a corresponding linear transformation. For example:

[F_n ] = [1 1] [F_n-1]
[F_n-1] [1 0] [F_n-2]

and therefore

[F_n ] = [1 1]^n-2 [F_2] = [1 1]^n-2 [1]
[F_n-1] [1 0] [F_1] [1 0] [1]

and therefore the nth Fibonacci number can be computed by computing the (n-2)th power of the matrix [[1, 1], [1, 0]], and then multiplying that matrix by the column vector [1, 1] (or any other desired first terms of the sequence). The matrix power can be computed by diagonalizing, and that's where the powers of the golden ratio will come up (as eigenvalues of that matrix).

This is completely equivalent to the method in TFA, but to my mind is better motivated.

An observation about tail calls (2011)
Have the class teach you how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Follow their instructions, EXACTLY. If they start off with something like “put jelly on the bread,” put the jar of jelly on the loaf of bread. It’s really fun with kids and they learn a lot about logic. Everyone gets to chime in, the adult looks silly and handles mistakes gracefully, the situation can end up hilarious.

I’ve done this with a kid and also in an intro programming class, and it worked with both age groups.

Conscription is slavery is not a comparison. Conscription satisfies any definition of slavery not designed to exclude conscription. Is it justifiable is a different question. Is taxation theft is a different question.

I think the comment above has been edited, me and my wife did not see the last sentence before now. It's very surprising to me that the Hacker News is so against having an account? Most of the internet requires one nowadays.

I will keep following the direction/mood of the comments and react based a whole view, so far around +80 people have downloaded, with 4-5 people talked negatively about account requirements.
Pretraining on the test set is all you need.

"it is uncontroversial to say that given grounding like this LLMs won't hallucinate"

I disagree. LLMs that have been "grounded" in text that has been injected into their context (RAG style) can absolutely stolñ hallucinate.

They are less likely to, but that's not the same as saying they "won't hallucinate" at all.

I've spotted this myself. It's not uncommon for example for Google Gemini to include a citation link which, when followed, doesn't support the "facts" it reported.

Furthermore, if you think about how most RAG implementations work you'll spot plenty of potential for hallucination. What if the text that was pulled into the context was part of a longer paragraph that started "The following is a common misconception:" - but that prefix was omitted from the extract?
I think for some that it is the opposite. Most people are able to understand that due to the extensive evidence of centuries of advanced civilization, including extensive surviving writings and evidence of mathematics knowledge, the Egyptians were able to coordinate the construction of the pyramids using advanced, but not anachronistic technology. However, due to the disproportionate vastness and majesty of the pyramids and some of the other surviving ancient Egyptian works, many people can still be led to believe that there was something more at work than practical engineering with ancient technology.
One thing that's really strange about this article is that it presents compatibilism and incompatibilism as having a different concept of 'free will' – compatibilism sporting an everyday sense of free and incompatibilism roughly a more scientific one. The article assumes incompatibilism to be correct on those grounds and goes from there. Coming from the philosophical literature, this is simply not the case. If both sides assume the same definition of free will, e.g. as "the agent could have chosen differently", they still have a genuine disagreement...
I think Matt must have updated the article since you posted :)
The patient had a host of other conditions that put their mortality risk already extraordinarily high, which is likely why this experiment treatment got approved in the first place. Kidney function might now be fine but it could have just have easily been one of the other comorbidities that did them in. I am sure they are doing more research on this.

I'm a Beatles fan. Tolkien was right to be skeptical, it would have been terrible. No doubt in my mind: campy, perfunctory, self-mocking. Please recall how "nerd" material was treated before the 2000s, if you'd like some precedent for what this would have looked like.

Huh. That took me down a rabbit hole. I wasn't aware this was released as open-source. That solves a few unrelated problems for me.

Expanding on the above post:

Erable was replaced with Xcas / giac, which is the more advanced CAS used on the HP Prime. Almost all of this is open-source (with the exception of small bits of Erable developed by HP, not needed for Xcas /giac), under a mixture of LGPL and GPL3 licenses (mostly the latter).

This gives a surprisingly advanced and complete symbolic algebra system for use in your own programs. Although developed in C/C++, it has interfaces to many languages, including oddly enough, JavaScript. In that case, the C/C++ is compiled to WebAssembly with enscripten. But of course, more common ones like Python or LaTeX exist too.

It is used in many systems, including Geogebra.

It is developed in France, and feels, for a lack of a better word, French. I have the odd experience of having seen SWE culture in several countries, and this is firmly in the French camp. I suspect if it were more American, it would be better-known given the level of completeness and quality.

I think -- roughly speaking -- Penrose argues that human capabilities such as transductive reasoning are clearly not computable, therefore falsifying the idea that the mind reduces to an algorithm. He then goes on to propose how nonetheless what the mind does might be physically grounded, even if not in purely computational machinery.
> Could AI be the universe's "great filter" – a threshold so hard to overcome that it prevents most life from evolving into space-faring civilizations?

I feel like wrecking the biosphere that makes possible a civilization in the first place should be higher on the list of great filters than AI.
This is very nice. Having a low-dimension page warping model to optimize seems to be what makes this work.

This is a good YC-sized problem - weeks to market, a few hundred thousand dollars to launch. Apple has a phone app for this which requires too much manual adjustment, and Microsoft has Office Lens / Microsoft Lens, which has comments such as "The edges just eventually go crazy and look horrendous". So there's a market for one that Just Works. Exit by selling to the usual suspects.
There are some non-ML based approaches for ultra low field MRI that are starting to work: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1m7K1W--UOUecDPlm7KqFYzfkoew... . You can still add AI on top of course, but at least you get a better signal to noise ratio to start with!

You've sort of answered your own question. None of those three would obviously mean the same thing to me. And that's just one possible combination. If you consider all possible combinations of 4 symbols in K, most of them will have a distinct but obvious (and useful) meaning that is extremely hard to summarise in a single word.
I will add something overlooked, the children might not be on tiktok but they might be on youtube watching videos made of chained tiktok videos.

Based on my personal observation the rapid, repeated change of scene (5 to 8 seconds) trigger some sort of addiction combined with not understanding what's going on, as well as inability to talk with friends about the scene (too little time).
i observed one of my daughter's friends completely shutdown and forgetting we were even there. We kept calling her, she didn't even respond. I'm still shocked. Granted there is way more than the tv problem, this is just the last of a long chain.

Well, it's just a bot, so no need for it to instantly react to any and every update.

I also have my doubts on whether it is possible to implement efficiently (or at all). I suspect that just yanking in the article and all the sources is non-feasible, and any smaller chunking would be missing too much context. Plus LLM logical capabilities are questionable too, so I don't know how well the comparison would work...
It would be surprising if it didn't. Why would an evolutionary process avoid searching through mechanisms that involve quantum effects?

Hmm, we have actually ruled out quite a lot of that sort of thing... For example we're pretty sure there's nothing like a "local hidden variable", e.g. a little deterministic process in an electron determining if it's going to be spin up or spin down when measured.

As someone who bounced between my own startups and working for others where a company put me on a hard project and really challenged me I could excel. If they wanted just another cog in a sea of cogs it didn't go so well. I can tell you having your own startup does spoil you. You never bring the same passion writing code for an employer once you've done it for your own ideas.
In making this, I found a bug in `git log -S` where it wasn't finding every instance of the search string. Perhaps a better way to further this project is to make a pull request into git to fix this, but I wasn't able to find the root cause of the bug

I would never do that. A delete trigger to a generic archive table that stores the row as a row, this is what I would do. JSON in a RDBMS is something that can be done, but rarely should be done. Why keep it in the database and not as a file on disk (in the filesystem), otherwise?
I wonder if that's true. I mean, think of what happened with DVD copying: Supposedly, everyone bought into a DRM-laden scheme; but it got circumvented into eventual irrelevance, will all-region readers pretty much the norm after some point.

It's not that there are "technical problems" preventing anything. It's that these systems (LLMs) do not possess the fundamental properties that are necessary for being scary, and we have no clue at all how the systems would get those properties.

Current "hyperintelligent AI" fears are exactly like the "grey goo" fear when nanotechnology was a buzzword in the early 2000s. We can all agree that if you take the fundamental vague concept "AI" or "nanotechnology" and pile on a couple of wheelbarrows full of hypotheticals, you get to something scary. That doesn't mean it has any relevance for the universe we currently exist in.

Articulate, accurate, and simultaneously funny and sad.

Edit: I changed a few words to try to make this comment less harsh. I know how much work it is to release a product and it’s hard to hear negative feedback.

All I am really saying is: consider why you are adding the complexity inherent in forcing user accounts and such. Just because everyone else does it, is not enough reason.

I really really like the idea. Enough to have immediately downloaded the app.

My 2 cents: The entire UX needs to be analyzed with fresh eyes. My email confirmation went to spam and i almost forgot I downloaded the app. But why is there an email confirmation? Why must i make an account? Why must i upload a picture?!? Why must I tell you my age? Why must I invite a partner to seemingly get any use out of this?

What is your goal with this app? If you want to gain users, focus on making getting started as seamless and quick as possible. Iron out the UI elements like the clumsy rectangle warning modals, focus on making it really intuitive to use. Figure out how to make it really easy to get me setting up ideas. At this stage it is a privilege for you to have any of my time and attention, and you need to iterate your UI and offering based on customer feedback and usage metrics.
All language is going to be governed by information theory though, so I would think that if we have trouble detecting language then either a) we’re not looking very hard, or b) the comms are so efficient it’s approaching indistinguishable from white noise.

Yeah that's a bizarre (or non-) example for a point that might be otherwise sound.

Accents aigu et grave sound completely different, and stand in for a variety of disambiguating spellings you might use (including the grave even for non loanwords: 'bless-id' vs 'blesst', for example) you could never confuse the pronunciation, they serve the opposite purpose.

In fact that example makes it seem more like a point about spelling, don't worry about writing the wrong accent. (Yeah, people will figure it out I'm sure; in English too 'bless-ayed' is nonsense, so the presence of any accent would look like 'bless-id' was intended.)
> One reason is their unrelaibity (the author is citing a source that they themselves can edit)

There is plenty of reasons why wikipedia is an inapropriate source to cite most of the time in academia, but that surely is not one of them.

The biggest resource I've ever stumbled upon was discord servers for specific languages.

During the pandemic when everyone was trying to learn languages they were popping off. Like thousands would be in servers and you could just chat with people whenever you wanted. I would spend every minute commuting, cleaning, or any time I would've usually listened to podcasts bullshitting with random people and learning how to actually speak.

Not sure if you are disagreeing with my comment but I don't see any contradiction. You are showing your wife that you are thinking about her and that you care about her wellbeing.
