I'm not saying it's achievable, I'm saying it's not magic. A chemist who wishes to understand what the model is doing can get as far as anyone else, and can reach a level of "this prediction machine works well and I understand how to use and change it". Even if it requires another PhD in CS.

That the tools became complex is not a reason to fret in science. No more than statistical physics or quantum mechanics or CNN for image processing - it's complex and opaque and hard to explain but perfectly reproduceable. "It works better than my intuition" is a level of sophistication that most methods are probably doomed to achieve.
A lot of accelerated article previews as of recently. Seems like humanity is making a lot of breakthroughs.

This is nothing short of amazing for all those suffering from disease.
The problem isn't barriers to being a pedestrian. It's alternate forms of transit not existing. My town barely has bus service. The nearest stop is over a mile away, and it has a frequency, in theory, of hourly. I live in town. The bus route sorta serves the historically poor section of town and that's about it. Having a car is not optional. We don't have a functional long distance rail network, never mind light rail or subways.
Duckdb is probably what you want, though I don't think it's in debian either. It's in Arch though.
Claude's Constitution
Discovering underlying principles and predicting outcomes is two sides of the same coin in that there is no way to confirm you have discovered underlying principles unless they have some predictive power.

Some had tried to come up with other criteria to confirm you have discovered an underlying principle without predictive power, such as on aesthetics - but this is seen by the majority of scientists as basically a cop out. See debate around string theory.

Note that this comment is summarizing a massive debate in the philosophy of science.
FYI, I can't view your terms because it claims my browser is incompatible. The website itself (devv), HN, OpenGL applications, youtube (JS-heavy), everything works fine but the plain text that your ToS and privacy need to be give that error message with no further information that I could pass on to debug it

In case anyone knows, I'd be curious: does that mean no terms apply to my usage if I can't view them by reasonable means? Just whatever local law defaults apply? Earlier today I noticed the terms of the local zoo 404'd (while buying tickets online) and I wondered the same

Meta to kill crucial transparency tool CrowdTangle
It's less that working at a FANG produces better devs and more that FANG can afford to be picky and so having worked there is a sign you passed a high hurdle once.

Kinda the same idea as having Harvard or Stanford as your alma matter. Most schools will teach you most of the same stuff, but those universities only take the "best". If your idea of "best" is similar, you'd take that Harvard also liked the person as a good signal.
The one good way forward I can see for any such privacy-conscious service provider is to let the user see exactly what data is stored about them (and purge it where feasible).

You store my access times and IP addresses? I should see that.

I think this would align well with GDPR, too.
When are these "risk takers" ever taking a risk if their behavior is always excused?
It certainly would not be a free society. Though as with all things human, all of this has happened before and all of this will happen again:

"Charles II had re-turned to the English throne in 1660 and was appalled at the state of printing in his realm. Seditious, irreligious, pernicious, and scandalous books and pamphlets flooded the streets of London (among them the works of Milton and Hobbes)...[He] required that all intended publications be registered with the government-approved Stationers’ Company, thus giving the king his “royal prerogative”—and by extension, giving the Stationers the ultimate say in what got printed and what did not.

...it is not surprising to learn that the 1662 Act only met with partial success. One gets the sense that London in the late seventeenth century was a place where definitions of morality were highly subjective and authority was exercised in extremely uneven fashion."

As a software engineering leader I can appreciate the huge amount of work it took you all to get here. It may not be super flashy because you had to start from scratch and get to feature parity with existing platforms, but IMHO Bluesky has the best app and I'm excited about all of the stuff you will add in the future. I'm rooting for you!

1) you create an container image based on the upstream image that supports bootc, using a Containerfile that serves what ever purpose you want.

2) you push that container image to some registry

3) you use the bootc image container to create an qcow file from the image you have built (or you install the image on a bare metal system)

4) you boot up the virtual machine or bare metal system, which now includes "bootc" utilties too

5) from this point on you can update the container image you have created in step 1) and you automatically roll forward the booted virtual machine or bare metal system to the latest image you have relased (or rollback, if your updated image breaks stuff) using the included bootc utility

Currently the image that supports this seems to be limited to centos:stream9, or rhel9:

Super exciting how you can take so much data that was hard to analyze and make it understandable.
A lot of the bigger name albums he engineered were ones I listened to and loved before knowing that he was a common thread between them (or even who he was in general), but one that I gave a listen to specifically because he engineered it was an album called Stella by a band named Uzeda. I had never heard of them before, but it was wonderful! All the words that often describe his sound (and also his music) apply here. In fact, I believe Uzeda is often compared to Shellac, which seems apt. I highly recommend it, if folks are looking for a good lesser-known album he worked on.
Spoiler: basic / hard sciences describe nature mathematically.

Open a random physics book, and you will find lots and lots of derivations (using more or less acceptable assumptions depending on circumstance under consideration).

Derivations and assumptions can be formally verified, see for example https://us.metamath.org

Ever more intelligent machine learning algorithms and data structures replacing human heuristic labor, will simply shift the expected minimum deliverable from associations to ever more rigorous proofs in terms of less and less assumptions.

Machine learning will ultimately be used as automated theorem provers, and their output will eventually be explainable by definition.

When do we classify an explanation as explanatory? When it succeeds in deriving a conclusion from acceptable assumptions without hand waving. Any hand waving would result in the "proof" not having passed formal verification.
We're doing too little, too late to stave off disaster. That's not surprising. Now I'm a glass half full kind of guy so let me point out the potential upsides. Yes, the ecosystem is going to be less than desirable for a few centuries. Yes, there are going to be hardships to endure - perhaps, sadly, the death of 20% to 40% of humanity. BUT - and this is the point - the current political regime will be overthrown. Revolutions are easy when you have nothing to lose. Tooday's "leaders" and political systems will be deposed of - when it's plain for all to see that our leaders and political systems today have failed us. Since the ecology is going to be screwed-up for hundreds of years, it will allow plenty of time for these lessons to settle deep in our collective conscience.

Meanwhile, this is gonna suck.
"So I went and got a can of Coke and drank it during work. As this was essentially my first caffeine experience, I was highly sensitive and became instantly wired. "

Well, that shows how large the difference in response to caffeine can be between individuals. Unfortunately, caffeine has very little effect on me, I can drink several cups of espresso coffee last thing at night and it has no apparent effect on my sleep.

I remember when studying using five or more heaped teaspoons of Moccona instant coffee per cup to help stay awake and it was pretty useless even though the coffee was so strong it was just about undrinkable. I also had the same lack of response with super strong brewed coffee.

The writer makes the point that caffeine can trigger migraines and I've also heard this often over the years. This seems somewhat paradoxical because many migraine medications contain caffeine and have done so for a better part of a century. For example ergotamine—the principal migraine medication before sumatriptan became popular—was usually compounded with caffeine and occasionally diphenhydramine in the ratio of 1/100/20mg respectively. So a migraine tablet had the equivalent amount caffeine of a treasonably strong cup of coffee.

Same goes for other headache medications, caffeine is often mixed with paracetamol/acetaminophen in the ratio of 100/500mg or about 100/325mg for aspirin.

I've often wondered why if caffeine promotes migraine then why is it used in migraine medications? The only reason I can think of is that for most people caffeine actually helps relieve their migraine. Presumably, caffeine works synergistically with the main ingredient.
"this tool works better than my intuition" absolutely is science. "be quiet and calculate" is a well worn mantra in physics is it not?

Is it truly bad UI?

They may be locked in, which just forces things. Not an endorsement.

However, they may also be really productive with whatever it is. This could be an endorsement.

In CAD, as an example, there are often very productive interaction models that seem obtuse, or just bad to people learning the tools first time.

Often improving on first time ramp ups to competence nearly always impacts the pro user too.

Where it plays out this way, I have always thought the UI was good in that the pros can work at peak efficiency. It is hard to beat them.

Fact is the task complexity footprint is just large enough to make "good", as in simple, intuitive interfaces not possible.
Inductive Charging Pad
What do you think about electromagnetic induction chargers? If a startup develops a system that can recharge devices from a few meters away, it will instantly become a million-dollar company.
Individual labs somehow manage to do that and we're all grateful. Martin Steinegger's lab put out ColabFold, RELION is the gold standard for cryo-EM despite being academic software and the development of more recent industry competitors like cryoSPARC. Everything out of the IPD is free for academic use. Someone has to fight like hell to get all those grants, though, and from a societal perspective, it's basically needlessly redundant work.

My frustrations aren't with a lack of open source models, some poor souls make them. My disagreement is with the perception that academia has insufficient incentive to work on socially important problems. Most such problems are ONLY worked on in academia until they near the finish line. Look at Omar Yaghi's lab's work on COFs and MOFs for carbon/emission sequestration and atmospheric water harvesting. Look at all the thankless work numerous labs did on CRISPR-Cas9 before the Broad Institute even touched it. Look at Jinbo Xu's work, on David Baker's lab's and the IPD's work, etc. Look at what labs first solved critical amyloid structures, infuriatingly recently, considering the massive negative social impacts of neurodegenerative diseases.

It's only rational for companies that only care about their own profit maximization to socialize R&D costs and privatize any possible gains. This can work if companies aren't being run by absolute ghouls who aren't delaying the release of a new generation of drugs to minimize patent duration overlap or who aren't trying to push things that don't work for short-term profit. This can also work if we properly fund and credit publicly funded academic labs. This is not what's happening, however, instead public funded research is increasingly demeaned, defunded, and dismantled due to the false impression that nothing socially valuable gets done without a profit motive. It's okay, though, I guess under this kind of LSC worldview, that everything always corrects itself so preempting problems doesn't matter, we'll finally learn how much actual innovation is publicly funded when we get the Minions movie, aducanumab, and WeWork over and over again for a few decades while strangling the last bit of nature we have left.

Kepler famously compiled troves of data on the night sky, and just fitted some functions to them. He could not explain why but he could say what. Was he not a scientist?
I think the problem is that the fast majority of workers in the US would probably have better work conditions, job security, or compensation if they were in a good union. So on one hand we have an extremely niche union that sucks, but also however many hundreds of millions of Americans as the other example of why unions are needed.

Alongside “paid like a plumber” and “already this fucked”, I would like to see added the following wisdom:

I think of music as something that I'm willing to work 40 hours a week or more to support, like a wife and family, right? Music to me is that important. It's so important that I don't expect it to make a living for me. I expect that I will have to work a normal, regular job like a regular person in order to have the luxury of being able to play music.

> [...] and this cost is worth it only when native calls are relatively common. In Java they are rare and easily abstracted away, [...] but it's clearly the right one for Java given the frequency of native calls [...]

Native calls are rare in Java because they're such a pain. If it wasn't so hard to do native calls in Java, it would be common even for non-experts to make use of non-Java libraries.
I'm a know-nothing when it comes to LLM internals or copyright law, but presumably, if I as a human, read a work of literature (say JRR Tolkien's collected works) and generated something like Wheel of Time (which is literally what Robert Jordan did, he has even credited Tolkien for his influence, even stated that the initial chapters were modelled around Tolkien's Shire), then everything is admittedly kosher.

Then why is it wrong if an LLM does the same?

I am assuming of course that OpenAI licensed / bought the literature legally as a prolific human bookworm would have done.

As long as the LLM generates output that is distinct and different enough from the original work it was trained on, shouldn't this be entirely fine from a legal perspective?

Yes, but a perfect oracle has no explanatory power, only predictive.
there's lots of other benefits (for cops) for joining, also the general vibe with police work in the US is that if you're not on board, you're going to get harassed and threatened (and rarely assaulted/murdered) until you leave (see: thin blue line)
If you want to throw out the data because it doesn’t suit your bias, fine, ultimately it’s your safety on the line based on your decision, so you better hope you’re correctly evaluating.

But I also think it’s odd that you think NYC is underreporting murders and not going after serious crimes, when if you go into rural areas, you’ll find many that are a few Sheriffs stretched thin over hundreds of miles, and infinite more potential for “murders going unnoticed.”

Definitely, but invariably when the conversation about office -> housing conversions come up these other cities are never mentioned. I would argue the lessons in those cities are very applicable to SF & NYC, where the conversation has been focused in the past year or so.
As a nerd, I hunger for consistency. This wasn't - it took snapshots and handwaved them together.

Can't help but feel it would have been a lot better with constrained physics and automated submissions.

The current version is probably more fun to be on "the inside" of, evaluating submissions and stitching them together, but at the expense of the finished product.
How is income relevant to the claim interviews are often just as grueling in licensed careers?

Thank you, it's a great question. I tried to anser that at the bottom of the website in in Commonly asked question:

>This will vary but usually it’s one atomic piece of AWS infrastructure, e.g. VPC setup, Cognito user pool, set of ec2 instances, RDS setup etc. You can create tickets as big as you wish if it’s easier for you but delivery will take longer - however we’ll push partial deliveries of these bigger reqeusts every 2 business days.

To answer your specific question, I'd say this is more than one reqeust. I'd see it as 2 requests. Depending also if you have any existing infra with some terrafor or cdk or it's a new project etc.

I understand scope of one request is tricky and different people might have different expectaions. Maybe I should think about it more and have more detailed explanations/examples of "one request scope". But it's hard as each case is specific and can have nuances.

I'm open to any ideas.

Thanks!
What’s the point of 12 rounds interviews to have staff that does no real work ?

> Fast, safe, reliable mass transit in the US

High speed rail is hard, especially in a place where people would use it.
