IMO, it's because of money printing. It makes everything about capital and human bodies. It creates a ponzi scheme which drives increasing centralization. Let's face it, most people who live in cities produce little to no value for society. Mostly doing bullshit jobs. Yet thanks to government money printing, their useless labour can be monetized. Places with high concentrations of people can now command large investments, real estate prices start to inflate due to artificial scarcity of land in central areas, this increases the 'value' of real estate collateral which allows city dwellers to take out large loans against it to fund even more bs ventures and jobs to attract even more people... The government keeps printing money and handing out huge contacts to large bs companies to do useless 'intellectual' work. Using job creation as a cover for the ridiculous inefficiencies they create.

The economy is hollowed out and the competitive market dynamics are replaced with inefficient monopolies... People lose valuable skills and gain useless skills instead because bs jobs pay better than useful ones. Nobody wants to do useful jobs simply because they don't pay... At the same time the intelligent ones among them recognize the uselessness of their high paying BS jobs and this demoralizes them, makes them feel guilty about everything and makes them vulnerable to woke and other self-loathing ideologies (though of course they won't acknowledge this, even to themselves).

> It's important to note that not all e-bikes are created equal when it comes to exercise benefits. The study found that class 1 e-bikes, which provide pedal assistance up to 20 mph, were the most effective at promoting physical activity. This is because riders still have to pedal and put in some effort to maintain a consistent speed. In contrast, class 2 e-bikes, which have a throttle that allows riders to cruise without pedaling, were found to be less effective at promoting exercise.

I'm happy to see this directly stated. Is there any guidance for domain experts on the types of mistakes an LLM will make? The process will be different from vetting a university student's paper so they are unlikely to know what to look out for. How often will a domain expert reject generated papers? Given the large vetting burden, does this save any time versus doing the research the traditional way? I'm honestly wary domain experts won't be used, careful review won't be performed, and believable AI slop will spread in academic channels that aren't ready to weed out these flawed papers. We're relying pretty heavily on personal ethics here, right?
Interesting! Thanks for the cool info dump. Lack of earthing seemed like the obvious source of problems, but I knew nothing about the details.

Given that one of the devices in question was a Mac Mini (which did indeed have a two-prong plug without earthing), I wonder why Apple didn't put in a little more effort to give consumers an earthed plug. There's more than enough margin on their devices, and computer-like appliances normally have grounded plugs here anyway (Netherlands).

Unearthed two-prong plugs are slightly more convenient here because they fit in more sockets. But I'd prefer earthing over that small convenience.
Surely you'd still have to do the complicated analysis. How else would you calculate how much the polluter would have to pay?
Yes, this was 'Atlantic-ized' and generally storified in a very unfortunate way.
But Multics was written in PL/I (and the Burroughs B5000 system in Algol before) so Unix doesn't have an advantage there.

Funny that you start with agreeing that the meaning is ambiguous, and then follow up with it being trivial to parse. So what is it? Ambiguous or trivial to parse? I don’t think you can have it both ways.
Enter Mills classical theory of atomic structure that predicts dark matter is just hydrogen with the electron in a lower orbit that doesn't radiate (hence dark).

It sounds like you are saying that robots without haptic feedback are useless?

If so that is not quite right. I regularly use computer controlled cutters, plotters and 3d printers. Not any of them have any feedback while they operate really. They are all robots, and they are quite usefull.
I'm on the spectrum (diagnosed), and also like being me (most of the time).

But what about the poor sods who have so much happening all the time that they don't get the chance to learn to speak, or read, and scream in terror continually at the unending sensory deluge they try to live through? If there was a way to prevent that kind of presentation of ASD I think everyone would be better off. I took "prevention" to be about prevention of the life restricting developments of the condition.

On the other hand, if "prevention" is about culling the gene pool, I'm dead set against that.

how would you even start to reason about that? not even post could be standardized, it only barely works internationally with two extremes: nothing arrive, total abuse of the system.
With the resources systems have today, it is likely not worth the time and effort to optimize to the levels done in the past, though I appreciate it when it happens.

All I ever hear from my management is “when will it be done?” They don’t care at all about resources. It’s not even in the conversation. If there is a resource issue, the general solution isn’t to optimize the code, it’s to throw more compute at it.
I've noticed that having a screen recording or tab recording feature is very useful. I wanted to do a demo of my web app and looked for a while for a tool to be simple, I ended up using clipchamp.com.

Even this claim is dubious to me. My bike has a coaster brake, and I've never been in any weather condition where the brake wasn't able to apply sufficient braking power to skid the rear wheel. I ride that bike in rain and negative 10 degrees weather. At the point where my rear wheel loses traction, the brake has more than done its job.

I don't understand disc brakes. I've never felt the need for more brake.

But who wants to spend human time to read all that? To me if seems wet should train an AI to do it. Stanislaw Lem predicted that AI goes on such a tangent that we better not interact with it in his book https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_on_Earth_(novel)

Agreed, but for reasonable density you would probably want to go with 4-7 story apartment buildings. Which is what you will see in (most?) bigger European cities.
honestly when starting this project I knew that the rendering is most expensive, thats what I started digging into first and I found webcodecs API, it was like dream come true for my project, but that was just a start of my painful journey :D theres little tutorials how to use it, fortunately most of the issues I faced I could find solution on just github issues. Webcodecs is just decoding and encoding, but part of rendering is also muxing and demuxing, I recommend using ffmpeg wasm for that, or build your own webassembly version which should be leaner if you really need that. Generally the rendering process consists of a canvas that you need to draw things on in right order and place and time. First you demux your video file and decode its frames using webcodecs decoder, decoder is doing its work inside worker, you push those frames as they are decoded to some array and in the same time you draw those frames and other stuff on canvas and dispose/close the frames that are already drawn and are not needed, at the end of each canvas draw you send that canvas to another worker with encoder, encoder is doing its work encoding frames, and you push those encoded frames to some binary array, at the end of the work you just mux those frames and save the file :) I dont know if it makes sense, might not because i know those stuff may sound confusing .. but If you take it bit by bit i assure you will make it

I did watched this video to get some broad idea how all that works,

> This is true if you’re going fast or perhaps off-road

Or, if like me, you live on a hill. Disc brakes made a huge difference in my case - no more worn out rim brake shoes every three-four weeks and worn out rims every couple of years. Add how rain affects all of that on top of that.

And about the feasibility of a coaster brake bicycle: not even enough gearing to get home.
You did the right thing, the correct way is to just enjoy it with your eyes. There are enough photos and timelapses on the net anyway. They can't capture the speed of the real thing since you need pretty long exposure time to get enough light.
It uses AI to parse the selected text to choose search keywords, and to parse the related Wikipedia article to decide if it agrees with the selected text. It obviously can bullshit in both cases.
I would presume this is like capturing rainbows or beautiful skies by photo. Harder than it seems. You can’t capture the dampening effect of the environment by (regular?) microphone.

No, the company is hopefully in high growth stage at that point so ideally you want to join at x and get to IPO at 5x+ (or more) in 4 years. It’s sort of a combination of investing in low cap stocks and swing trading at the same.

Getting the train moving is the hard part but when it is already going it’s about not screwing up and execution, many times better odds (of course evaluate it like you would evaluate stock before buying)

The number of X-s for large cap RSU-s are less likely to be amazing so joining those RSU-s should be pretty much considered at face value (or maybe 10% YoY)

> I think gen Z abandons SFH for lifestyle reasons.

It's not that Gen Z abandoned SFH living. A better way to say it is that 20-somethings tend to live in dense apartments in areas which have activities for 20-somethings (bars, parties, concerts, etc).

That's likely been true for 20-somethings for a very long time. Human nature.

Then, 30-to-40-somethings settle down and move to quieter places with more space and more suitable for having their own kids. I'm pretty sure when Gen Z gets to that age range, they'll do the same.
Savory's ideas might work in some contexts (although he hasn't provided scientific evidence of their effectivity when confronted about it, for example, by Goerge Monbiot), but not every environment is a grassland and has evolved to depend on them.

Having said that, we definitely need to improve our soil.
Just fine is a bit of an overstatement for matrix. I think it got much better now, but the user experience for multi device key syncing on element and other clients gives room for improvement. I ended up having to reinstall because I could not figure out the mess I created myself. There wer so many keys involved that even having a PhD in computer science I could not easily grasp their meaning and function. I understand at least why key syncing ist not easy and I understand why someone would not support it. I however do not understand telegrams choice of obscure crypto as well as it does not make it easier to support this. But I guess their business model (pushing contextual advertisement into chats) relies on not having crypto.

> I kind of like that we’re thrown headfirst into this world without a ton of exposition around motivations and whatnot. It feels _a lot_ like Blade Runner that way (my favorite film) — sort of confounding and urgent.

I really like this part of fiction and media as well, because it forces you to do some work piecing everything together, so you feel a bit like a detective as well. Way better than superhero movies where you are spoonfed everything. It's a common narrative device found in Phillip K. Dick books, one of which Blade Runner is based off of. I really like the way it builds suspense.
It’s the end of an era, along with the old floppy disk based control system Chuck E. Cheese restaurants used. Every time I saw the older (pre-remodel) location I used to occasionally visit in SoCal… It was like jumping into a time warp back to the 80s and 90s for me. Nolan Bushnell has effectively outlived his creation.

> If your morals don't let you do that, then you can't make your own LLM.

You're reaching, a lot. Apple is more privacy-friendly than most companies at the moment - no argument there, but they still sell your privacy on the web to Google in exchange for a 36% cut of advertising revenue [1] which amounts to ~$20 billion [2], or a rather petty amount of ~$10/device [3].

These same "morals" also allow them to hand over data on all Chinese citizens to the CCP, among countless other privacy-destroying compromises they have to make in order to profit from the Chinese market [4]

Author here: I really appreciate the nuanced and constructive discussion in these comments -- this is the reason I post to HN. Thanks!

> This is sad that the article goes on to explaining the crucial importance of smokes, flashbangs, etc while not focusing on them for analyzing games.

There are several layers here and I should write a follow-up article to discuss that because I realise now I was stuck in my mental context too much to explain the bigger picture in the article.

This article is not, strictly speaking, trying to explain performance; it tries to explain the Leetify rating which is hopefully a fair proxy for performance. Nor is it really about giving details on how to achieve a high rating -- that requires the things you mention to put oneself in position for a favourable engagement. (In fact, one can think of the kill itself as a proxy for several other things, such as successful flashbang usage.)

This article focuses entirely on one specific kill-or-get-killed decision. It took that much analysis to provide a useful guide for that decision alone! A more complicated set of decisions I don't even know how to approach quantitatively.

Like, how would you define a successful smoke, if you had to do it based on anything that does not boil down to community feels?

I'll look into scope.gg (and tracker.gg mentioned elsewhere in this discussion) and see if I can be inspired to analyse other decisions. Thanks again!

I'm diagnosed ASD as well and I strongly disagree with your statement as it stands.

There are people who are profoundly impacted by autism. I _can_ go to a shopping center. I don't like it. I may have to hide in the bathrooms for a while a few times while visiting but I _can_ do it.

But I know people who spend most of their lives in fear, because there is just so damn much going on around them all the time. Their senses are turned up to the point that the sound of their own breath is like a lion roaring. The splash of light across the curtains as a car turns into the street is like a lightning flash. Sounds, sights, flavours, smells, tactile sensations all turned up to 15 on a scale of 1 to 10.

Often these kinds of people never learn to talk, or read. They end up living in homes (modern asylums) because they need constant care. And inside they're screaming in terror all the time. Sometimes they scream aloud.

I believe these people deserve better. Helping prevent the development of severe disability is what I believe the article is talking about, not eugenics.
The manuscript gives some details in the context of the difficulty of obtaining larger useful samples in the future and the difficulty of understanding if a sample is typical or pathological.

Blinking LEDs with Raspberry Pi
I see in this an attitude that's become increasingly common since the 2010s among developers as well as software companies regardless of open source or proprietary - "We know what's good for you, the end user and we will decide on your behalf." and use this as an excuse to strip out features that had been long available. Firefox is a classic example.

In stark contrast to the previous norm of highly customizable software that catered to both newbies and power users. Right here we see the example of the maintainer unilaterally deciding to strip out a feature that's already been disabled, just because he decided he knows better what KeepassXC users ought to do.
This sounds like a way to free yourself of personal responsibility. "We could have done so much if the doomsayers hadn't discouraged us!"
they don't and talk about the difficulties in their paper. I found it refreshing to see the standard of frankness and openness in how they address this. But - it's all pretty compelling and will surely prompt and sustain a lot more research investigating these results and data and also creating more in the future.

I think there have been two major drivers to inflation in fast food:
- wages
- delivery apps

Wages is pretty obvious, and the article cited the changes in California. It is important to keep in mind that we’ve seen wages jump in the golden state 66% for fast food workers since 2019. That’s huge, especially since labor it’s the largest cost for these restaurants.

Delivery apps added a new fee that showed consumers weren’t as price sensitive as they thought. So I think we’re seeing some increases related to that.

Yeah I just read the parent citation for that bit.

I agree with the "common sense" thing, which is why I read the citation.

TL;DR: class 1 electric bikes assist you with peddling, unlike class 2, meaning you can go longer and farther and therefore do more exercise than on a traditional bike.
It seems he missed the point entirely, as does nearly every religiously Buddhist person. Rebirth happens incessantly throughout a single subjective lifetime. It happens every 100-300 milliseconds, so far as I can tell. The Buddha realized this and tried to teach it.

Ending the cycle of rebirth mostly just means forestalling the reemergence of the ego/self/subject. It doesn't truly end, though I might grant that some extremely talented meditators can probably spend more time than not (but not all the time) in an egoless state. Take everything you read about the Buddha and his teachings as an attempt to articulate an empirical approach to dealing with the fact(s) of consciousness. If you can't find a way to make a certain lesson or articulation align with an empirical approach to consciousness, then just try a different lesson. The goal isn't nirvana, but freedom. Including freedom from goal-oriented perspectives.

INSTALL.md [0] recommends passing -DWITH_XC_ALL in the Build Steps section.

This build option exists. If you're building from source and don't need any of the extra features, you can use it to get a leaner binary. But the Debian maintainer made this decision for everybody, removing important security features (such as browser integration and YubiKey support) from the main `keepassxc` package, which broke people's existing installations, and which means that people blindly running `sudo apt install keepassxc` will get an inferior, less secure product.
