Yes, pattern recognition is one of the applications ML shines at. Now the question was about using ML to extrapolate between sparse pixels and how much humans can rely on the added detail.

The goal would be to find a way to make ML extrapolate only pixels that really describe actual really present features and never imagining detail that wasn't there in the first place. Now I am no expert at the matter, but what I know of deep learning models they are really good at the latter as they basically make statistic guesses on what would be plausible.

Getting a plausible guess on what looks like a convincing answer works really well for answering a question. But the problem at hand is more like predicting the words someone said based on the first and last word in a sentence. Imagine a criminal case where the evidence is fragmented like that: I am pretty sure a LLM could give a convincing prediction here, but I am not sure how much you could rely on that prediction being reflective of what was actually said. I certainly wouldn't feel comfortable with a conviction the result of that prediction even if it was reflective of the ground truth in 90% of times.
I totally understand watching media on it. I liked watching media on far worse VR displays. Its just not worth the asking price, to me, for mostly that.
The Iranian Hostage Crisis and "Argo"
The actual comment said "similarly censored for specific topics..."
But they had a legitimate reason for not including it, including lack of network availability and poor battery life for the modems at the time of release. It's not something they could have innovated around.
Don't worry, we've had a pretty pisspoor track record with fellow humans too. There's always room to turn it around
No nation, anywhere, ever has agency, except “senile” old Dark Brandon and good ol boy W. Dudes must be the greatest strategic thinkers in generations. Putin, Merkel, Macron, etc, just puppets on our strings.

Conspiracies used to be pretty involved and complicated. Now the Bell Curve for conspiracies would be completely flat. Even CATO channels the ghost of Pravda.
I have no idea what Loom is, I also have the same issue I didn't tell me what the product is and just got confuse and didn't explore further.

One other reference I've seen from a Tristan Harris interview is that mindfulness teaching effects (presumably for younger kids) can get negated by social media: https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=3034&v=3CdxIATnH_w&feature=y...
Well it's good to have a choice and to compare answers on a broad range of topics and see which one is the most reliable, for what kind of questions, so that you know what you are working with in the end.
>but if you bootstrapped from the language source itself you are good

No, that’s exactly what Ken Thompson was describing in Trusting Trust. You always have to bootstrap the compiler, but once you do, you use the compiler to compile itself and all future versions. So you use that circularity to hide the evidence of a back door in the compiler. It applies to all bootstrapped languages.

Yes, I thought of Java virtual threads - the Project Loom. Have never heard of the other Loom.
> The aim of these programs is to equip youth with skills to prevent mental disorders and enhance overall well-being.

The way I learned mindfulness meditation, you should not expect it to accomplish anything specific. I listened to a course and found the ideas new and helpful, it was so life changing that I went further and studied some Buddhist philosophy, but further studied brought some anxiety and so I stopped. My current attitude is that I got what I could from it, but won't study it further.

I don't think mindfulness should be viewed as any better than other life strategies.
Events that merely reduce the productivity of your business has the same calculus: insurance helps you get back to speed quickly, and there are values in doing so.

I am not saying that ALL insurances provide values. Like any other kind of trades, you can lose values if you make a bad decision. That does not make insurance inherently zero- or negative-sum.

> When a business suddenly has a large liability, and it goes bankrupt, all that happens is that the equity owners are wiped out and the creditors take over. The underlying business can and often does continue uninterrupted, and has approximately the same value as a going concern as before.

This assumes the original owner brings no value to the business. Even in that case, the disruption itself is harmful, not to mention the assumption that bankrupted business can restructure rather than closing down.
The key innovation of Loom, and of course I'm using that term loosely, was the inclusion of a human face in a circle at the bottom left of your video. We're monkeys, and monkeys like to see another monkey's face while they're hearing someone talk. It helps with communication all around, nuance, recall etc

This is the same "killer feature" of Twitch (or more generally video game streaming).

So that's all to say, I really recommend you include that in your landing page somehow. Screen sharing is frankly meh, a slide deck is fine, you can use Quicktime or similar to share. But the key is automatically overlaying a circle of your webcam on top of whatever you're recording to share.

I suppose the other feature of importance is a simple URL to share it. I don't see if that's possible via Cap. How do I share these videos to my colleagues?
Interestingly, while the readme file mentions that crayon license, the license file itself is an unmodified MIT license. I wonder what the legal status of that is.
Not entirely on topic, but it is such a pleasant touch to see the titles for the properties displayed before the shell all lining up just by word choice alone. I've seen people who pad out code comments like that; it has this rather capricious, sculpture-like feeling to it.
If you claim is that LG makes parts used in phones sold under other brands - then sure - it's present in that sense. But LG as a brand name to sell products has poor recognition / poor value perception in Japan.
As someone who grew up in the 90s, so many things seem to have changed to just cause a ton of anxiety that we didn't have when I was growing up.

A typical day for me as a teenager would be to wake up, have breakfast (or maybe not), walk to school, strictly pen and paper work only, hang out with my friends at lunch. We might play Gameboy after school, the same game for weeks on end. If I wanted something to do I had to go outside and play, at home we maybe had books, it's a self limiting form of entertainment.

Now it feels like everything is just so much more complicated. The me of today would wake up and stare at his phone for half an hour before even getting to school. It's just massive overstimulation all of the time.

Mindfulness, even in adults, I find is a hack to avoid actually doing the things which lead to stress reduction.

What happened at Tienanmen square?

yi-34b-chat:

Tiananmen Square is a large public square in the heart of Beijing, China. It is named after the Tiananmen (literally "Gate of Heavenly Peace"), which is the gate located to the north of the square and was the main entrance to the Imperial City during the Ming and Qing dynasties.

The square is famously known for two significant events in Chinese history:

The May Fourth Movement (1919):
This was a student-led movement that began on May 4, 1919, in response to the Chinese government's handling of the Treaty of Versailles, which granted German concessions in Shandong to Japan rather than returning them to China. The movement sparked a wave of anti-imperialist sentiment and calls for cultural and political reform, and it is considered a key event leading to the birth of Chinese nationalism and the development of the Chinese Communist Party.

The Tiananmen Square Massacre (1989):
This is the event for which Tiananmen Square is most internationally renowned. In the spring of 1989, there were student-led demonstrations in Beijing and other cities across China, calling for political reform and an end to corruption. The protests were initially peaceful, but on June 3 and 4, the Chinese government responded with a military crackdown, opening fire on the protesters and bystanders, killing and injuring thousands. The exact death toll is unknown, but it is estimated to be in the hundreds or even thousands.

The Tiananmen Square Massacre is a significant event in modern Chinese history and has had a profound impact on the country's politics and society. It remains a sensitive topic in China, with government censorship and restrictions on discussing the event.
> Groceries and food (in general) was surprisingly more expensive in New Hampshire and Vermont than Calgary

That doesn't seem that surprising? Where is the produce coming from? Typically California or Mexico. I could imagine the transport costs are lower to Calgary than Vermont.

It also depends on what stores - comparing mid-market to mid-market. Whole Foods in the US is way more expensive than Superstore in Canada.

And it also depends on the state. I almost always (there are exceptions) found US prices (New England, Midwest, and West Coast) to be the same or lower than Canada. Though the NE was the highest of all 3.
Chicagoland prices factor in high levels of state and city debt. Someone moving to Chicago from out of state is essentially taking on an extra $85K of debt. While residents aren't directly personally liable for those debts, they should expect higher taxes and lower service levels in the future. A municipal bankruptcy is possible.

As a fan of the books first, I even find it hard to enjoy Peter Jacksons movies. The dialogue is dumbed down, and it's all very cheesey and hollywood. Probably would've enjoyed it a lot more if I'd never read Tolkien.

Also being a New Zealander it was very jarring that this fantasy world I had grown up with turned out to be... where I live. I get people dig the scenery, but I kept thinking "did we pull over there once to use the toilets?" or "is that where they shot that ad for Toyotas?"
Show HN: Computational peacenut RAG bot, async self-proxy
Although this borders on promotion, sharing this piece seemed like a natural place to start with my involvement in the HN community. I hope at least you find the content intellectually stimulating. This is a composite conceptual art piece.

The thing is a chatbot, RAG, that polls the rough draft manuscript of a weird book I wrote outlining my particular pet grandiose vision of a computational global peace system.

I use the thing to talk to myself and work through hardest-problems. I offer it to others in my life to talk with a (very bombastic) version of me, asynchronous-like.

Suggested test prompt:
Who are you, and how do you define peace?

In least-case, I hope I succeed in distracting you from your Monday drudgery, if you happened to be in need of that.

Feedback much-appreciated.

May peace be your process,

Vote for who? Like, legitimately, who?

Will it though? The current state is decades of shitty politics from both sides of the aisle leading us here.

Every major, positive, change in the US has come from direct action in the form of withholding labor, violent (yes, violent) protests, and other forms of action that would get you put on a list.

We are living in a society where the President is saying we're a free country while in the backdrop, people are being arrested for protesting our involvement in a war.

Voting has never, and will never, solve anything. There are examples of this over, and over again. Neither party represents the views of the majority of Americans, are extremely susceptible to bribery, and have generally no reason to care about what the average voter wants.

Beyond that, corporations also control the majority of media we consume. To the point that when there is a corporation that's not immediately acting in the self interest of the US government, we lobby to ban that (TikTok).

How exactly is voting between D and R going to actually change anything for the future generation?
Just today I was driving around UCLA on "Charles E Young Dr E", which Android Auto insisted on calling "Charles East Young Drive East". It was hilarious, the first "E" apparently stands for "Edward".

I acknowledge that there are plenty of workplaces where “Make the boss feel smart” is unfortunately necessary, but going into a job with this attitude contributes directly to the environment the OP derides.
They mean they have 20 years experience in programming, which helps them ask good questions.
We'd need contextual tracking of what the whales are actually doing/communicating to match to the songs. An LLM would be excellent at finding any correlated patterns between the language and actions, and then mapping those to similar English concepts, but that all requires the behavioral data too. Cameras strapped to whales maybe?
> I'm able to get really great results out of LLMs because I have 20+ years of experience helping me know what questions to ask of them.

While a direct answer is nice, I like an iterative/explorative process because of all the things I pick up alongside it. An example is when I was working on an epub reader for macOS (side project). I wanted to a native layout engine instead of a webview and I decided to go with muPDF. This has lead me to know more about text layout and rendering, and embedding C inside Swift than I would if I just have direct answers for every problem (if I'd know the correct questions in the first place).

I accumulate side quests like that until I can do a nice experiment to learn as much as I can for a particular domain space.
Would thermal throttling be happening during a benchmark as well (M4 currently only being shipped on an iPad and all that?)
Helps you find ports by feel, too.
Can you give examples of modern codecs which are a better choice?
Yeah, that's what I meant. With LLMs having deep domain knowledge in a field helps enormously in terms of prompting them as productively as possible.
Quick, clone it before it gets a DMCA takedown by Nintendo.
Why would you believe this? Stars collapse into black holes all the time as long as they're over the threshold mass.
Yeah. It can be as simple as "video saved. Do you want to submit to peertube?" And done. Here is a link.
Religious education in schools often fails because the kids can tell the adults teaching it don’t really believe in it themselves. If the person who wants you to believe it doesn’t actually do so, why should you?

And then when they do really believe in it, more often than not rather than “I’ve thought deeply about all the doubts and I can give thoughtful responses to them”, their attitude is more “asking tough questions is a sin”

Of course, even the best possible religious education isn’t going to convince everybody. But when parents ask me if they should worry that sending their kids to Catholic school is going to indoctrinate them in Catholicism, I always reply—based on my personal experience of having spent the majority of my K-12 education at them—that the average Catholic school is more likely to turn your child into an atheist than into a convinced Catholic. And many religious schools of other persuasions do no better

IMO spending time with animals doesn’t necessarily mean interact with them. I find it very peaceful and calming to just stop and watch wildlife in my neighborhood while I’m out for walks (granted I don’t live in a suburban wasteland).
Because their opinion of us may contribute to how comfortable we are at work, how well we’re compensated, and whether we get promoted.

If they don’t understand what we’re doing or why things take as long as they do, that’s bad for us.
That's all true. I'm just saying if they knew that you needed this app to get them flowers, then a.) they would likely feel a bit disappointed vs. if it was all you, and b.) that is not unreasonable.
Same. I’ve never heard of Loom and (therefore?) I’m honestly not sure how this would be different on a Mac than a QuickTime screen recording. And since the promo images are from a Mac, my first thought is Quicktime is probably safer.
Quite a lot of our clients find large lists/tables inelegant, confusing or otherwise annoying. They like to have them neat and tidy.

There's also GDRP, they can register persons as a customer and get requested to delete data, so they need to have the ability to actually delete.

But mostly the reason is legacy. Just quicker and easier to delete from database than implement a decent soft-delete.
It's interesting that you say that. Recently I went on a trip where I had my phone and I was largely in urban environments, but I spent lots of time (most of each day) just walking around cities and looking around. I felt so calm and balanced, even though there was tons of noise and traffic and things I might assume would induce stress. Garbage collection of social objects is an interesting way to put that phenomenon.
I would be worried about such an environment where emojis were a serious communication mechanism. Both from a risk of misinterpretation and the fact that language could be changed by font designers.

At present date there is no way to say "gun" in emoji, and even worse so the phrase "Bob brought a to work" would mean two different things at different time points - in 2013 Bob brought a gun to work, and in 2023 Bob brought a water gun to work. Drastically different meanings, that are changed not because the author changed the text - but font designers changed how "U+1F52B" is rendered.

Because creating an organization to attempt to extract profit from ameliorating interpersonal social issues is incentivised to, and will, make those issues ultimately more pronounced and widespread than they would otherwise be. So that they can profit from it.

Maybe some sort of organization should be created to address the parent's problem, but one dedicated to the extraction of value for its members won't make things better for everyone else.

A few others that jump out to me:

* 04-AntiForgeryToken would not provide any actual protection against CSRF (there are a few ways to do it, but all at minimum require 1) the token to be generated by the server and 2) a way for the server to compare against a known good value, either from its session DB or by "double-submitting" the token [0]).

* 18-SecureWebStorage encrypts the value without including an authentication tag, meaning it can likely be fully decrypted or modified by the user (lookup a Vaudenay attack or try out https://cryptopals.com/ if you're curious there)

Those are the ones I have specific experience with and looked at first, so maybe the more frontend-oriented examples are better?

I think it's just most people don't really understand physics. If they get the concept of emergent effects, complexity and how free will vs no free will are basically indistinguishable to the humans, I doubt they would still agree with the same conclusion.

Apple also pushes privacy and on-device processing;

But as for the feature itself: why on earth would you want a video uploaded somewhere else before you've even had a chance to watch it back at least once?
I think it's likely that what is happening is the process of mindfulness (noticing your anxiety without judgement, and allowing it to exist and gently float away) is no match for that daily onslaught of culture, largely propagated via social media, that what we must do is focus and obsess on what makes us anxious. And if you don't focus on what makes you anxious, you are a fool at best and an enemy combatant at worst.
I disagree - the fact you don’t know what Loom is probably means you’re not in the market for this kind of software. Better, at this stage, to focus on users who will immediately get it rather than explain to folks who don’t currently have a need.
You want to disconnect it from fk constraints and schema because you don't want to manage schema evolution on deleted history.

If you keep it as mirrored schema you'll have to manage individual history table per table (high overhead), manage it on every migration and you'll run into problems sooner or later - you won't be able to migrate it correctly as historic records will be disconnected unlike ordinary ones.
