Why not? There are plenty of time series that have underlying patterns which means you can do better than a total guess even without any knowledge of what you are predicting.

Think about something like traffic patterns. You probably won't predict higher traffic on game days, but predicting rush hour is going to be pretty trivial.

The only way I can see this working out is in some sort of author's forum, where everyone there are personally affected by LLM training and therefore they're willing to put up with the barriers. The same can't said be true for the average reader, or even most readers. They're far less to care about their artistic/literary livelihoods being killed by AI, and as we seen with how popular Amazon and Uber is despite their treatment of their delivery "partners", even if they're sympathetic to you that's no guarantee that they'll support you at their inconvenience. The overwhelming majority of readers is going to hit your signup/pay-wall and bounce, which means all you're doing is kneecapping your reach in exchange for a bit of smugness against AI companies.
That's not too different from the alpha fold people knowing that there's a sequence to sequence translation, that an enormous number of cross-talk happens between the parts of the molecule, that if you get the potential fields just right, it'll fold in the way nature intended. They're not just blindly fiddling with a bunch of levers. What they don't know is the individual detailed interactions going on and how to approximate them with analytical equations.
Yeah, going with prev gen iPad Pro would definitely be a valid choice. I was talking about the general state of Apple hardware and software, not only iPad. The fact that base iPhone 15 model has 60hz screen (while obviously having more than enough power to drive 120hz display) is frustrating. Personally I perceive it as a hostile stance towards anyone who considers themselves a tech enthusiast.
There are many more examples of that. Like pop up warning about 10% battery left forcibly stops current audio message recording. Inexcusable.
I think one of the most interesting phrases that crops up in this document - twice - is the phrase ‘feel heard’.

It’s used in an example developer prompt for a customer service bot, where the bot is told to make customers feel like their complaints are heard.

Presumably such complaints in AI chatlogs will ‘be heard’ in the sense that they’ll be run through a data ingestion pipeline and sentiment analyzed to identify trending words in customer complaints.

Then it crops up again in the context of how the chatbot should react to mental health disclosures or statements about self harm or suicidal ideation. In these cases the bot is to make sure users ‘feel heard’

I appreciate there’s not likely much of a better goal to put in place for such a situation, but the fact that this kind of thing winds up in the requirement documents for a tool like this is extraordinary.

Looks really neat! I'd love to be able to click on the individual words in the report to hear back how I said it.

Also I'm a native speaker and I'd argue with the errors I got :). I think in each case they're valid alternates in rapid speech. Most of the reported errors were for vowel substitutions, where I used a weak form (schwa) instead of the corresponding vowel-as-written. E.g. [əktɪvɪtiz] instead of [æktɪvɪtiz] for activities. (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaXYas58_kc)

Which (now that I think of it) you already get right in some cases, e.g. for the second "t" there — in my American accent that's flapped and there was no alert raised.

> Yeah you can't monitor 100% of the time but like.. moderating your child's experiences is kind of part of the job isn't it?

Is the subtext here "don't have children if you can't do the job"?

If it is, then it's valid to discuss the difficulty of predicting what exactly the job of parent involves when it can drastically change due to technology and social norms over the interval of 5-10-15 years between making the decision and executing the role.

This isn't a blanket statement to abdicate responsibility, nor a blank check for unlimited responsibility, but certain unanticipated challenges are expected and some grace must be given in light of a dynamic environment.

Responsibility is an abstract concept that we operationalize in order to make judgements and decisions. Like any operationalization problem, how can you be transparent around its construction?
I still disagree with you.

There are enormous flaws in public education, some of which you have addressed, but eliminating the study of history and english is going to do bupkis to address any of that.

Thomas Hobbes, in Leviathan, stated that living in a warbound society:

"In such condition, there is no place for Industry; because the fruit thereof is uncertain; and consequently no Culture of the Earth; no Navigation, nor use of the commodities that may be imported by Sea; no commodious Building; no Instruments of moving, and removing such things as require much force; no Knowledge of the face of the Earth; no account of Time; no Arts; no Letters; no Society; and which is worst of all, continual fear, and danger of violent death; And the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short."

Obviously, our governments are always in war. Our schools are always in war. Millions to the football stadiums and rarely even pennies for the arts. Churn out grist for the malady mill and milk the survivors of every drop of value. Every business and enterprise of man is but war in a capitalist society.

Taking away the seeds of the arts because they might not grow into more juice for the war machine is at best a shortsighted thought and at worst the hateful demands of a small and selfish person. They didn't benefit you, but others they do.
What is the scope of a "request"?

Only CXL has the potential to be outsourced to Thunderbolt, as it works off PCIe and system RAM does not. CXL (Compute eXpress Link) is a server grade technology that's really aimed at solving some problems within the high performance compute area, like cache coherency. If you don't get it, I don't either tbh.
This is just wrong.

While computer operations in solutions are computable by humans, the billions of rapid computations are unachievable by humans. In just a few seconds, a computer can perform more basic arithmetic operations than a human could in a lifetime.
Would be really nice to have. I hope we can get it with something like optionals you see in Rust or Swift. And really, with optionals, something like Swift's guard let statements.
> if a senior person can't in 30/45 min of talking with someone figure out the general experience level then the problem is them, really.

Being able to evaluate a person is a difficult soft skill to learn. An interviewer cannot learn nor improve it over night nor months nor years. This is basically being good at reading a person. Not to mention an issue with bias that is highly subjective.

If an interviewer isn't good at this, the solution would still be to supplement your evaluation with a coding interview.
> I don't see the shape of the holds being a big problem. With some help from indoor companies and hold makers, figuring out which hold model is on the wall should be possible.

Even if you know the exact hold model and it’s in pristine condition, it’s basically impossible to tell how it’s gonna work from a single angle on video at a distance. Even tiny variations in angle of the wall and rotation of the hold on the wall can completely change how you use it.

Can underlying principles be discovered using the framework of scientific method? The primary goal of models and theories it develops is to support more experiments and eventually be disproven. If no model can be correct, complete and provable in finite time, then a theory about underlying principles that claims completeness would have to be unfalsifiable. This is reasonable in context of philosophy, but not in natural sciences.

Scientific method can help us rule out what underlying principles are definitely not. Any such principles are not actually up to be “discovered”.

If probabilistic ML comes along and does a decent job at predicting things, we should keep in mind that those predictions are made not in context of absolute truth, but in context of theories and models we have previously developed. I.e., it’s not just that it can predict how molecules interact, but that the entire concept of molecules is an artifact of just some model we (humans) came up with previously—a model which, per above, is probably incomplete/incorrect. (We could or should use this prediction to improve our model or come up with a better one, though.)

Even if a future ML product could be creative enough to actually come up with and iterate on models all on its own from first principles, it would not be able to give us the answer to the question of underlying principles for the above-mentioned reasons. It could merely suggest us another incomplete/incorrect model; to believe otherwise would be to ascribe it qualities more fit for religion than science.

Without getting into the details of hallucinations and experiences you mention: how is anything of that even weak evidence of a constructed reality?

> I don’t see how a brain that has the capability of being enhanced in that way happens through evolution alone

Regardless, it's exactly how evolution works. Evolution allows for irrelevant and harmless traits with no purpose to exist. It even allows for somewhat harmful traits to exist, as long as they are balanced by a competitive advantage they piggyback on (e.g. what if hallucinations and listening to voices are a side effect of creativity and imagination?).

What would a constructed universe look like? I dunno. I would like to see contradicting evidence and timelines, maybe even obvious "coverups", maybe if a hyperadvanced civilization appeared across the whole globe (no secrecy) saying "hey it was us!" (but maybe they'd be lying, so who knows).

Skepticism is one of our most important tools. It tells us to triple check any extraordinary evidence and rule out all possible natural/ordinary explanations first.

You would have to pass a pretty high bar to consider a constructed universe... and remember, it would have to be strong evidence, because like you objected, "well God/Genuine faked all the fossils" is uninteresting.

Sweet demo, you should do a Show HN! This is much more interesting to me, as the visual element makes much more sense here rather than just putting entire paragraphs in nodes.
High-level details about how you tackled the various sub-problems would be useful.

I assume, at minimum, there's:

- Segmentation of moving elements
- 3d reconstruction from 2d video
- Reverse kinematics
- Identification of holds
- Search for potential climbing path
- Generation of kinematics for path

> So long as contributions and feature request align with Microsoft's interest, its all good, but if the community has large support for a contribution or change request that doesn't align, then it may be different.

Speculation about what Microsoft may do or may not do in response to community pressure is a weird kind of criticism. I can invent all sorts of fictional boogeymen too. What if Linus has a psychotic break and wants to make the Linux syscall interface mimic the Windows NT kernel?

People would do exactly what I'm suggesting here: fork and continue development without him.

As you also say, leadership means leading, and Microsoft takes backwards compatibility very seriously, and that's why people trust them and use their offerings, sometimes instead of open source offerings.

A change like that would invalidate every tutorial and document ever written about C# over 25 years, so is it really C# anymore? I don't think anyone would make that change. It's simple to fork the MIT licensed C# compiler, call it C* and make that transition in a language that is definitely no longer C#. I just don't think this is a good example.

For good examples, see the language evolution that has actually taken place which has been community driven in many cases. Records, tuples, the evolution of type constraints have all been started from community feedback, and are backwards compatible.

As a final note, a comment on "aligning with Microsoft's interests". They are interested in two things for .NET: selling Azure hosting, and incentivizing Windows programming. Making the software development experience pleasant, robust, predictable and backwards compatible are the objectives, so devs are incentivized to pay them to program on their OS, target your program to their OS, or run your software on their cloud infra. I really don't see the problem.
If you are so inclined, ARRL transmits amateur radio news bulletins daily on a regular schedule[1] in the USA. The bulletins can be received with any shortwave radio that supports SSB (single sideband modulation) and decoded with a soundcard and appropriate software. Obviously, it's considerably different content, but if you are looking more for the experience of receiving and decoding a radio text bulletin, you can certainly have it! Many other teletext services[2] exist as well.

How would you defend your all 100 properties at once without a state? If by capital you mean your personal belongings, then they can easily stay with you. Anti-capitalism concerns monopoly on land, resources, machines relevant for production and intellectual property like patents. Some people don't have access to those and they have to either become slave workers or starve.
This tool reminds me that the human body functions much like a black box. While physics can be modeled with equations and constraints, biology is inherently probabilistic and unpredictable. We verify the efficacy of a medicine by observing its outcomes: the medicine is the input, and the changes in symptoms are the output. However, we cannot model what happens in between, as we cannot definitively prove that the medicine affects only its intended targets. In many ways, much of what we understand about medicine is based on observing these black-box processes, and this tool helps to model that complexity.
As a silly test, I encoded the Spanish versions of the Sherlock Holmes' volumes (XZ compressed each one) to FLAC with minimodem --tx 300, and later I converted them to Opus at 64 Kbps.

Each file weighted less than 30MB, not bad at all. The raw WAV files were around 400MB each.

The files were re-read back with minimodem --rx at the same rate and dumped back to an XZ file, the sha512sum matched the originals.
Do we really need to wrap more crap around cmake? It's already wrapping make in an unknowable way, and this layer doesn't help. The challenges when using these things aren't in writing the thing, it's fixing it when it doesn't work, understanding the error messages, etc, etc. Each layer of crap is a huge step backwards. What would you say to the cowboy that will wrap cmkr in another layer of indirection?

There are definitely plenty of coasters at Google, but these kinds of investor statements are positively vapid.

"Google spends billions per year on projects that go nowhere"
Isn't that exactly what VC firms do? Google would be unwise not to invest billions in many projects. Some of them will go somewhere and some of them won't. That's the nature of technology and R&D.

"all that money could have been returned to shareholders who have retirement accounts"
Over the last decade, Google stock is up 534% while the S&P500 is up 177%; Over the last year, Google stock is up 59% while the S&P is up 26%. Your investment in Google has done pretty well. If you think it's being managed that terribly as an investor, sell your stock and invest it somewhere else.

> It's like glass windows getting thicker on the bottom over the centuries.

They actually don't. If a glass window is a thicker at the bottom it's just because it was considerably more difficult to make them perfectly even in previous centuries and people probably had a slight tendency to install them with the thicker parts on the bottom, but you can find centuries old glass windows that are thicker at the top.
Yeah the administration is a bit of an issue around that but it's certainly doable without burning ridiculous amounts of energy.
