I don't think your intuition is correct. Traffic lights let civil engineers tune priority and allow greater throughput at an intersection.

Just like how we consume large amounts of space for interchanges on interstates instead of using traffic lights, there's a reason we don't see stop signs (at least, not often) on 45+mph roads.
"Get next major feature to release and you can go as a friend" might have been part of an earlier agreement.
>>And for me the question is always how to make it "more active"

Some ideas:
* Write a summary/synthesis of what you read
* Annotate content as you read (with your own comments). Write in the margin of books - so reading turns into an active conversation with an author
* Email writers to say "thanks" for good posts, and share related links they might like. (I started doing this with bloggers. Yes, it's weird. But several felt happy to hear they're not just shouting into the void)

What you mentioned about reading references/related content on a theme is a great way to actively grapple with a topic. It's like surfing a wave of interest (today you're intereated, tomorrow it dissipates, overall you come out better)

And, HN is definitely built with affordances/barriers that gently funnel you into certain behaviours...
This is a great observation which I have not heard before. I think it greatly changes the way I think about openAI’s success/infamy

We've been using highlight for our bootstrapped member management platform[1] and I gotta say I'm super impressed with the session replay feature, it's really helpful for understanding user behavior at a fraction of the price of competitors.

I remember wanting to use Heap's session replay only to release they want hundreds of dollars per _month_, my last bill with highlight was $2.38 I recall.

That's all to say that I'm glad Highlight is figuring out how to scale while still offering their features to the small players of the world.

There were worries after 9/11 that terrorists were using stego to plot attacks, posting their messages “hidden in plain sight” inside images on public websites.

Someone (Niels Provos?) did a pretty thorough search and analysis of images on eBay and came up with nothing. Apparently it was just post-9/11 paranoia.
I don't think its helpful to broaden the aspersions: you had a couple hours to cool off, and also got signal from the community that you went overboard.

It's clear I was talking to you, not about you, you can tell because it's a reply to you.

I do understand it would feel awful if I replied to you, ignoring you, and instead voicing to some anon 3rd person you don't know Anthropic pricing. Someone with looking to bully could possibly use that to say you are an amateur who doesn't know what you're talking about w.r.t to AI and only knows a brand name or two.

If anyone does that, let me know, I'll correct their bullying...pulls on sunglasses...with extreme prejudice.
that's sort of true and sort of false. here the origin is plotted in the upper-left-hand corner, and in the 2d fft images you're used to looking at, it's plotted in the center instead. but you can plot the dct that way too, so it's sort of false

it's sort of true in that if you plot the standard 2d fft in this coordinate system, the data will be concentrated not in one corner of the image but in all four of them. the dct really is unusual in putting all the low-frequency stuff at positive frequencies instead of equally at positive and negative frequencies
Ok. Well. I do not know if it was a cyberattack so I don't take the bet.

Furthermore I don't know even if it was a cyber attack if it will ever be established to anybody. And even further I don't know even if it was a cyber attack and if it is proven to somebody that this information will be released publicly.

I dislike the term conspiratorial since it’s so loaded.

That said, this is a topic from which much tears and ink have spilled forth into the world. On one hand, a good candidate for harvesting can give many lives. On the other, what is death anyways? According to what criteria? You are very much alive in order to donate. Brain death you say? How do we measure a consciousness? Do we even know what it is? When does the “soul” leave and a person becomes a nonbeing?

In hospitals I’ve been at a nurse can declare you dead if there are two nurses and they listen to your heart for a minute.

I think organ donation is a great good. I don’t think it should be a decision taken lightly or, worse yet, taken in order to stave off any appearances of appearing conspiratorial.

Yes you absolutely can blame them for it. This type of shift (and a million other possible permutations) is why we invented the concept of "charters" around the same time we invented writing.

The entire point of the pre-commitment device is because you (or other stakeholders) are anticipating that your thinking will get distorted over time. If you could be trusted to make such a decision in the future then you wouldn't have written a charter to bind yourself.

Did you not read what I said? They joined a non-profit and eventually realized the mission is futile.
I agree and the fall has already started I believe. But they have "believers" that don't seem to understand the rational of people saying this.

Funny thing is that even Steve Jobs said as much in an interview: basically, that a computing platform was dead without market share and they made a mistake with the Mac, making it too inaccessible for too many people.
But I guess history and mistakes are just a cycle.

It would be very good for everyone if they fell from grace and start "losing" profit so they can't start working on stuff, once again.

They already noted in the article that once it’s passed into your bloodstream this approach is useless. I see it more like being a better form of naltrexone, someone takes it before going on a night out and saves themselves a nasty hangover while getting to party. I’ve always disliked the lack of availability of low alcohol beers in the States (1-2%) and this could be a decent solution for that. As is the easiest thing to do for moderation when going out in the States for me is to do the One On One Off where you alternate between one moderate alcohol drink and one NA drink. It would be more ideal to just pop a pill right before I go out that lets me tailor the level of absorption exactly as I want it.

> This ability to load child processes and TSRs is mostly owed to the CPU architecture, not to the design of MS-DOS - CP/M-86 had it too.

Did CP/M-86 support child processes though?

Also, did CP/M-86 support TSRs? I thought it supported RSXs which just like CP/M-80 were in a different format and manipulated by different APIs than normal programs, whereas under DOS any program can turn itself into a TSR at any time, you can't tell when you start it whether it is going to turn itself into one (unless you know what its code does, of course)

Looking at https://www.seasip.info/Cpm/bdos.html#144 I see BDOS function 144 (P_CREATE), for creating subprocesses, was implemented on MP/M and Concurrent CP/M – but I don't see any mention of it being implemented on (non-Concurrent) CP/M-86.

CP/M-86 1.1 (but not 1.0) supported BDOS function 47 (P_CHAIN), for launching a new program – but like exec() on Unix, or the BASIC CHAIN statement, it terminated its caller before launching the new program.

That said, PC-DOS/MS-DOS 1.x didn't really support subprocesses either. There was no documented API for creating them. The program loader was actually in COMMAND.COM, and while it called the DOS kernel to allocate memory for a new process (the undocumented API INT 0x21,0x26), COMMAND.COM was responsible for actually loading the .COM or .EXE from disk into the process' memory (including relocating .ees), so creating a child process required duplicating a large part of COMMAND.COM's code. In DOS 2.x, the image loader was moved into the DOS kernel, and a public API to spawn a child process (INT 0x21,0x4B) was added. COMMAND.COM also implemented its own API to start a child process (which would be a child of itself not the caller), INT 0x2E, but I don't believe that was there in DOS 1.x either.

> With MP/M, every program had to be in such a format, minus the loader, which became part of the operating system.

You are talking here about the CMD executable format?

Bottom up Red/Black Trees: The simplicity of LLRB Trees with none of the penalty
This seems like a good explanation of an alternative implementation of red-black trees to the standard CRLS one.

This blog actually has a lot of, in my opinion, interesting posts about data structures and algorithms, and many of those are about red-black tree variants.

Finding this person's blog was for me like finding a basket full of crisp and fresh fruit.
Seems like she was more appointed, than actually trying to make moves?
yes, as it happens, the image on the focal plane of the camera resulting from light coming from a particular direction is in fact the 2d fourier transform of the spatial distribution of that light at the lens. this property has been used to build optical-computing military machine vision systems using spatial light modulators since the 01980s, because of some other useful properties of the fourier transform, that spatial shifts become phase shifts, so you can look for a target image everywhere in an image at once. as far as i know, these systems have never made it past the prototype stage

see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourier_optics#Fourier_transfo...
(sigh) 1-2-3-4-5? That's the stupidest combination I've ever heard of in my life! That's the kinda thing an idiot would have on his luggage!
your first paragraph is completely wrong. the lens concentrates collimated light parallel to its axis at its focal point, regardless of where it falls on the lens. (and, strictly speaking, only at a single wavelength.) collimated light coming from near-axial directions gets focused more or less to a point on more or less the focal plane. but light at a single point doesn't have a direction, being a wave. there is in fact a very profound connection between the action of a lens and the 2d fft; see my sibling comment for more details

your second paragraph is correct, and it is a special case of the convolution theorem; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourier_optics#The_2D_convolut...

You have the internet and you used it. I'm not your encyclopedia or ChatGPT Wikipedia summarizer. There is no excuse for defending ignorance or the promotion of anti-intellectualism here.

Without healthy prairies, huge tracts of land decay into deserts and that fucking sucks. It's tragic and avoidable, but planting trees is a largely impractical, overly-simplistic strategy promoted by people who don't understand ecology.
They also get paid when you send traffic to free, ad-supported sites full of trackers.

I’m not sure what your point is.
Fair point, but I also think something that's /really/ clear is that LLMs don't understand (and probably cannot). It's doing highly contextual text retrieval based on natural language processing for the query, it's not understanding what the paper means and producing insights.
Even better is N100 processor instead N5095. Mainly because of TDP that is comming a lot closer to RPi.
Those will not be in the verification database.
Before reaching the bottom of the article, I was wondering about 19xx codes, given that I've heard many people using years, or month/day pairings for garage door codes and such.

I was glad to see those plotted out. I was also initially surprised that not a single 19xx pin made the top 20, but I suppose it makes sense considering that there are 100 different combinations of this code.
It’s probably like writing. Writing by hand to avoid distractions then import into editing software
Yeah - he's one of the only people I've seen talk on the topic who really seems to understand where it's going and how to get there. It's possible he's evangelized others at OAI who can carry the torch, but I'm skeptical given the degree of pushback the statements most in need of being represented got from his peers.
The playground is already more level than it would be if the primary tools for creativity were driven by corporate controlled AI, because those corporations have no intention of allowing the playground to be level. It's never going to be legal for you to make the next Star Wars, or possible for the average person to make something that can compete with the big media companies, without paying a lot of money and giving up a lot of rights.

Meanwhile the tools to create in just about any medium are almost entirely freely available to anyone, and plenty of people are already creating tons of amazing things. AI isn't necessary for that, it's just a means for corporations to commoditize human creativity.
If you're replacing an old system, a great piece of documentation is the original requirements against which it was built, especially if that document is versioned. Goes a long way to understanding why something was built a certain way and whether the new thing can do the job of the old thing. It's so much better than something either overly vague or overly specific like "it must work (exactly) the same way as the old system".
In technical terms they're on par. But you're correct about Google being able to bet on their decades of infrastructure

I am not at all saying that new AI tools will not generate any value, but that the vast majority of the value creation will be created by full-service solutions that entirely replace labor and that’s where the hockey puck is going. I believe this will be obvious in about 2 years. Let me know your thoughts, agree, disagree, strongly disagree, why? What startups are working on full-service solutions and are you also finding it’s as much of a challenge to go the 100% full-service instead of just the 90% tooling that’s out there?

I was unaware of people using naltrexone for hangover prevention and did a bit of spot research, it seems naltrexone only prevents the buzz/euphoria from alcohol consumption but doesn't prevent impairment or hangover symptoms, such as those caused by dehydration, nor does it prevent liver damage.
Why wouldn't it still be invalidated by it if it was indeed trained on it? The others may do worse and may or may not have been trained on it, but them failing on ititself doesn't imply 4o can do this well without the task being present in the corpus.

One of my credit unions gives out (randomized) five digit pins (although they say if you use an atm that only accepts four digit pins, the first four is enough). My other credit union only does four digits.

I think remembering one 6-digit PIN would be fine, but in the US, it's common to have many banking relationships. If I needed a pin for every credit card, I'd have to write them on the cards or set them all the same.
