From what I have seen in startup I worked for we most likely did not get a customer that my boss did not work with earlier.

Other ones were most likely choosing competition based on who they knew and worked with earlier.

Mind you we still had to go through due diligence before they signed, but getting foot in the door by knowing someone who can propose us as a vendor was big help.

I think the problem is that the best and brightest (of which HN’s readership is a plausible sample) dislikes this observation: a great many people who rarely use anything but hard rationality still believe that not only will they be the one to join the tiny elite (can’t be all of them, most are wrong by construction), but that this is acceptable.

Of secondary importance is what a depressing commentary this is on the ethical caliber of our intellectual elite.

What's with the attitude? Maybe the author didn't expect people to still be running an OS that's 15 years old and 4 years since its End-Of-Life.

Nothing wrong if you voluntarily choose to daily drive a dead OS today at your own risk, but expecting unpaid developers to cater to your super narrow niche is the epitome of entitlement.

> if the kid reversed by looking at the camera view in the screen, she will fail the kid

That's interesting, my compact sedan doesn't have a camera, and you can still see something in the rear view mirror, so I feel perfectly comfortable reversing into tight spaces or over longer distances.

Sometimes I drive rentals (different Toyotas) that have cameras, and I vastly prefer the camera for reversing. When leaving a parking spot, you can immediately see the cars in the lane you're reversing into. You can see directly behind the rear bumper (kids, dogs, forgotten baggage). Running over someone's kid in a busy parking lot is something I'm really terrified of, and the camera eases my mind a lot.

That would of course require an LLM to understand game balance, as opposed to just writing things that sound like they might balance a hypothetical game. At that point it's less similar to our LLMs and more like an AGI. And at that point we may as well have it create the neurotech necessary for the sort of VR tech I assume is used in the referenced books' world.
> A much better analogy is that philosophy is not science in the same sense that alchemy is not chemistry, or astrology is not astronomy

Not at all. Astrology is irrelevant, whereas philosophy is quite relevant in the sense that it is an integral part of scientific activity and takes place despite certain people forgetting that they do it even while doing it.

> or banging on a hollow log with a stick is not playing the violin

Yes, I actually edited my comment to provide a better analogy: philosophy is not science in the same sense music is not drumming.

> Materialism is not the testable hypothesis. The testable hypothesis is "molecules is what causes us to flourish."

These follow from one another. If you claim that molecules are the cause of some phenomena taking place in your mind, which flourishing, self-actualisation, happiness, suffering, etc. all are, then you implicitly claim materialism.

For anyone who claims that mind-state is the cause, you can claim that it is in fact the consequence (or an illusion, as some do), and it will be your word against theirs.

That’s where it stops being a scientific experiment and becomes a higher-level philosophical argument where testability is, unfortunately, out of our reach, but we can still judge theories by their elegance and logical soundness.

> The way you falsify it would be to demonstrate some aspect of human flourishing that cannot be explained as the actions of molecules

As above, if you claim that there is some aspect of flourishing that cannot be explained as “actions of molecules” (I would be hard-pressed to ascribe any agency to molecules, personally) you would likely be implicitly adopting monistic idealism (or some sort of dualism, which I personally find dubious due to even more drastic lack of elegance than in monistic materialism), and that is not testable since to anyone who claims that mind-state is the consequence you can very simply point out how it can be the cause—and since neither way can be proven or disproven, it is once again a higher-level philosophical argument.

That argument is more fundamental and more important, actually, than predicting some molecular activity or the like; and before you object, using the fact that scientific method is as of now limited and unable to provide evidence either way can’t serve as a justification for calling the question itself unimportant if we were to have this discussion with any rigour and truth-seeking determination (as opposed to mere desire to socially signal or appear “right”).

I'm working on a website [1] that's essentially "Choose your own adventure with AI NPCs" and I've found two things:

a) LLMs are excellent at keeping a "linear enough" storyline without being linear. They'll let you do outlandish things, but given the assignment of "tell a cohesive story" they manage to corral the story back to something sensible unless the player intentionally keeps pushing at the boundary (in which case they probably do want things to go off the rails)

b) LLMs can do delightfully colorful dialogue, they just need to be grounded in a character. Everyone thinks of factual grounding, but given enough description of speech patterns, character motivations, etc. they're capable of dialogue that's lively and completely rid of "GPT-isms", which are what tend to break immersion

I actually trained an open model [2] on the task of grounding LLMs in characters and actions as opposed to factual things like RAG, and eventually I want to build a game demo out of it

Maybe its not a big difference long term, but a camera is 2D, whereas a mirror provides a 3D image with depth, allowing to assess distances naturally. It also has a much better resolution and dynamic range, works much better in the dark, etc.
When you're building an MVP, you want to keep the architecture as utterly simple as possible. SQS helps at scale, but your product may never reach scale. In the meantime, you vendor-locked into AWS, with all its attendant needs like setting up auth to AWS, account vending, etc. If your MVP already needs stuff like object storage, and you're setting up AWS anyway, then sure, prefer SQS. But a lot of MVPs are better set up as monolith + Postgres to start with and only complicating the architecture after product traction is found.

Is it really a status symbol? Have you seen the people who drive a model Y?
You can just search for it. The general answer is that it is not good, and it's getting worse. The comparison to aviation, once again, is not really needed. Aviation is extremely polluting and damaging to the environment (not just poluttants but also disease and invasive seed spreading). There's nonquestion about that. But it isn't related to rocket launches anymore than other pollution.

Here's a couple of articles.

I am not angry, I just observe trends that started with the realisation that raw materials can be sold for more if they are transformed into products. The unbound inventiveness of the human race never ceases to amaze me, but I also see how some of it develops along paths that result in solutions which are overly complex and require even more complex solutions to "fix" them.
I could not agree more.

“Content” comes from a world where selling adverts is the primary business and the “content” is just used as a bait or lure to attract eyeballs. The quality of the “content” is a remote concern.
How can I get my outputs in PDB format? Can not?
Agree. This point is a big concern and is explored in the stories (the protagonist creates a "mad scientist" character that can use the LLM to invent new equipment, and then uses a lot of trial and error to find prompts that generate insanely overpowered equipment). It sounds fun to play though! Balance doesn't have to be .. well .. balanced if there are other ways to maintain fun, such as leaning heavily into the creativity & self-actualization angle. As an example, if I could have any superpower in real life, I'd love to be able to fly, even though that's actually a very weak power compared to things like teleporting that are mostly a superset of flying, but not as fun and whimsical.

Encouraging "living your dream" rather than being the most powerful might be easier to achieve in a game with coop or open-world objectives rather than one focused on PvP, but if "living your dream" could be compelling made into the primary player objective, it would pair very well with the custom powers mechanic envisioned in the story.

As an example of how this is explored in the story, one of the protagonist's friends who loves surfing has a character whose superpower is "the ability to surf anything". It's an extremely weak power but the character really loves it because they get to surf the most extreme things imaginable, just for the fun of it, including in outlandish scenarios such as surfing along the blast wave of an explosion, or even the beam of a laser - silly stuff that is fun to explore & try.

I think it wouldn't have to be VR to be fun - imagine if it was something like a Roblox-based game played on laptops. Even then, the "surf anything" power and other outlandish powers would be incredibly fun to use. Imagine if you could do almost anything! You don't have to be the most powerful player in the world to have fun. Maybe you just really want to pilot a mecha-Godzilla, or something - even though an Iron Man or Thor level super could smash it in seconds. It's still awesome!

As the other commenter pointed out, symlog is not smooth. But the point about symlog is that it is very simple, has the familiar and intuitive log scaling, and most importantly that you can select the point where it transitions to linear such that it is below the smallest scale you care about.

All in all, for scientists the symlog is much more useful.

It's a very funny show with crisp writing and nice comedic delivery by good actors, and there are plenty of characters to recognize from any large institution including public ones, but on the whole it's basically superficial Thatcherite propaganda made by people who aren't trying to convey real understanding of the systems they're criticizing or consider the context or alternatives. A real Chesterton's fence situation. You can see where a few decades of the same soundbyte-driven antisocial mentality has landed the UK; Brexit is the coup de grâce.
Yup, and similar per-core general performance to the JH7110 boards, but with twice the cores, and with that RVV 1.0.

Good price, the only downside is only 4 GB RAM which is very limiting with 8 cores, especially when the SoC supports a decent 16 GB. Or maybe this laptop will have more RAM ... the 4 GB is the BPI-F3 SBC SKU currently offered.

Not to be pedantic, but the comment you're replying to didn't mention iconography; "save" is still the word used, but when you think about it, it's a weird word to use for the act of storing something. "Save this file from being lost in case my computer shuts down" kinda thing.
Telegram is not serious about security & privacy at all, for example:

1. It does not support end-to-end-encrypted (E2EE) group chat at all.

2. It does not enable E2EE chat by default.

3. "Secret Chat" (the only E2EE encrypted chat) experience is deliberated nerfed, it's not available on PC / Web and can only be initiated with a buried-in-dot-menu option in phone ap.

4. It had multiple weird 0-click attack surface in the past. [0]

In addition, Telegram always prefers usability over privacy, it does not do tradeoff, more like 100% usability 0% privacy. Users like this, but I don't know what to think about it.

[0] Signal isn't any better on this though, they refused to add an option to disable their video/audio call stack for those who don't use it to do attack-surface reduction.

Ghost In The Shell suffers from really dragging in the middle.

There's a bunch a bunch of sequences which go on just way too long for the total amount of plot in the film, and there's a lot of missing context for the main character's motivation: we just kind of get a couple big exposition dumps, but no real feel for who the Major is or why the core conceit of the plot matters to her.

This SDR won't be able to compete with expensive high performance receivers that have a lot of pre-selection, but there are many examples of low cost SDRs that do a surprisingly good job on the HF bands (without too much pre-selection).

I suppose the performance in the HF range will be similar to KiWiSDR, AirSpy, or the RedPitaya. If you want to know how well they work, there are many KiWiSDRs online to listen to :-)

The interesting part is certainly that it delivers 50 MHz bandwidth up to 6 GHz, which exceeds e.g. what the ADALM Pluto can do.
