Just to be clear, this is what he actually says in that video:

> And it's still maybe for its field of application the best language in the world for doing that kind of stuff but that's not good enough. We should be moving on to the next generation of languages. It used to be that we'd get new computer languages about every generation. That started with Fortran and then C and C++ and Java and JavaScript and so on and then it kind of stopped. There are still people developing languages but nobody cares. One person can make a programming language, a really good one, but you can't get adoption for it.

This isn't Crockford becoming converted to the anti-JS crowd and hopping back to C, it's Crockford arguing that JavaScript shouldn't be the final iteration of programming languages. Presumably he believes that about C as well.

It looks like he's working on writing a new language, Misty, intended to (maybe) replace JavaScript:

This was with the Red Cross in Australia. I'm original from the UK and was not allowed to donate before due to CJD worries. The first time I was able to donate, they ran a full test (not sure if they do that for all donations or not) and I got a call back saying they had found markers for blood cancer. As mentioned, follow up tests haven't shown any other markers, and the levels of protein hasn't changed over that time, so have a 6 month wait now for the next follow ups.
The screening target should be for malignant cancers, not all cancers.
Not true. You can set a number of accounts to up this in the bank app, with nothing more than a sms code to protect you. $100k no issues. And never seen a $2k limit, maybe a $5k limit.
Many of these remote areas are barely being served by companies at the moment because they’re not profitable (enough). Why would anyone object to the people just doing it themselves instead? That way at least they’re not at the mercy of some company that needs to earn a dime.
In our case we wanted to upgrade another dependency (react-admin) which necessitated a react-router upgrade, which we used throughout the rest of our application, so it was a reasonable amount of work and sticking to the old one was not an option.
First, it's an attachment that could fit on nearly all blowers.

If this works out, it will be amazing! Kudos to the student teams!
What a magnificent writeup. Much thanks, very useful, I always got a bit stuck on knowing about string types, their pitfalls and which to end up choosing, so I'm very happy with this useful document!
Tell me you haven’t read the article without telling me you haven’t read the article.

This article is talking about something that was created 15 years ago. So your “come back to me in 10 years” comment is 5 years too late.

And turns out if it wasn’t late it would have been dead wrong.

You have fully failed to understand the concept that is described here, which is still private internet service, with the government simply providing the open access infrastructure.

Also, thanks to the open access concept the customers have a choice between what appears to be 18 different ISPs. I doubt there’s a single other area in the U.S. that provides that much choice.
These complaints can be levelled against private net companies as well, particularly in the USA it seems.

> Come back to this comment and in 10 years. See what speed competitive markets are at and compare to municipal and non-competitive markets.

The sleight of hand here is amazing - "See what speed competitive markets are at" - the US doesn't really have competitive markets, it has monopolistic markets, and they seem to be a prime cause of the very issues you're concerned about. The article you've replied to is talking about encouraging competitive markets by opening up locally-owned last-mile infrastructure to ISP competition.
This would obviously be terrible, but are there any long term consequences from this that wouldn't be positive?
I think it's actually about taking "medicine" that causes the same (the homeo part) dysfunction (the pathy part) as you're experiencing in the hopes of curing it.
The main difference for my use case is what's usable about off-the-mark creative output to those who engage with it. With an LLM's hallucination, bullshit was made, bullshit was received, and that's that. If you figure out it's bullshit, the only thing you've likely gained from the exercise is having one less piece of bullshit to consider.

With humans creatively solving problems, what they say isn't 'output'-- it's externalizing a reasoning process. Being off-the-mark about something is a beneficial part of defining the bounds of an unknown solution because it's based on reality. It's a tangible idea that can be reasoned about and modified-- not a collection of output. It's not a point on a scatter plot, it's a waypoint towards a useful end.
No homeopathy is only used when there is a mental problem afflicting both the practitioner and patient.
I had an older 32GB iPad which always showed 8G of photos with a fully empty roll (including Deleted album). Rarely has enough space for automatic updates.

Never could figure out where it went . Even backups using libmobiledevice were tiny.

I hope they will also add a feature that allows you to set a second pin code. That would be useful in case the thief forces you go give him your phone and unlock it e.g by having a gun pointed at you.

If that second pin code is entered the phone will go in anti-theft mode and e.g. hide specific apps, automatically erase it self or whatever you can think of.
Yes, sorry, it was hightened levels of proteins. Checking the report and it has these highlighted in red

Total Protein Initial Screen (g/L): 87 (normal range 61-84)
Immunoglobulin IgA (g/L): 4.9 (normal range < 4.8)
Immunoglobulin IgG Initial Screen (g/L): 18.5 (normal range 5.0 - 15.0)

And thank you. There's been a lot of Dr Googling about it, and it all sounds a bit scary, but will be jumping on whatever treatments are needed should the worse happen.
This is a good critique. Measuring intent of an organization may be difficult to do methodically and impartially, so it's not currently covered. Personally I was surprised to see Redis change license after Redis Labs promised not to change the license. I think that promise was made with good intent but overwhelming financial pressure that emerged later on swayed them.
Bay Area city orders scientists to stop controversial cloud brightening experiment ( May 15, 2024 )

when you can simplify things down to a number on a spreadsheet, it's a simple math equation. It doesn't make sense if you step back and look at what's actually best, but money warps everything it touches.
Yep. And I think there’s an interesting implicit bias where younger / mornjunior developers often get tasked with things like that, so they see no problem
I have the same question/confusion. I'm not sure what the benefit is of merging the projects? I get they are very close feature wise but why physically combine and make Remix features an opt in vite plugin vs just keeping the projects separate repos?
A very abrupt ending to what could have been a very educative text aimed at people who want to know 'what to choose', how to reason, and where we are currently at. I'd love to read more.
If you're running a community you want to actually grow, you don't have much of a choice besides be on discord. It's replaced both Facebook and Meetup for events and building Internet groups. Even open source projects moved to Discord. Is it more FOSS to use an open format? Yes, absolutely. But a Discord server is what any younger person will join, frictionlessly, from their phone.
No, that's (part of) what Color Filters is for.
What could go wrong ?
Yes, but a direct `exp` implementation is only like 10-20 FMAs depending on how much accuracy you want. No gathering or permuting will really compete with straight math.
The only information on the report is the following

Total Protein Initial Screen (g/L): 87 (normal range 61-84)
Immunoglobulin IgA (g/L): 4.9 (normal range < 4.8)
Immunoglobulin IgG Initial Screen (g/L): 18.5 (normal range 5.0 - 15.0)

Just the IgG that seems to be significantly above the normal range. Not sure how accurate the tests are, but the first 2 feel like they could be within margin of errors.
Wow,I see!This is a valuable advice！Thank you soooo much!!!
Looks pretty exciting, congrats. For looking at the intro video and skimming through the documentation, I think I mostly understood what it does and how it works. What I don't understand is the endpoint: can I show the dashboards to an end-user? Does it builds a website, or its usage is limited inside VS Code?
> (2) Government run internet is bound to eventually be lobbied to be safe

This would be a clear cut first amendment violation. These kinds of things would be less likely to be restricted by a government ISP than a private party ISP.
I use the @Risk tool he references, its handy because its easy to spit out tables that upper management can sagely nod their heads to and ask what you're doing about the top 2 drivers of uncertainty. that and those with finance backgrounds are also familiar with the tool and like to see it.

I always wonder why press releases include claims that a person said a paragraph or more of text that noone would ever say out loud, but this one actually does sound like something he'd say. In a keynote video, anyway.
> and we really consider the value of an unreliable ai text generator, is what we're doing here really an unambiguous good for the human race?

The gamble is that it will become much more than this, you must know that. With regards to your question, no one knows. Place your bets.
Yeah, but the optimization is limited and I was asking what I could be expecting.

There definitely are quite a lot of people that do move to Romania, Dubai etc.

Probably 'cause they're not satisfied with the amount optimized.
Arizona Accuses Amazon of Unfair, Deceptive Business Practices
The top end of residential internet right now is a 2.5G GPON link split 32 ways and sold as 1G which in practice gets you about 300-600M.

10G symmetric being common even oversubscribed to hell is 20+ years out from most metro areas with entrenched IPSs. And for $150/mo is baffling, we could have done this the whole time? There has to be a catch, right? Folks outside the nice areas still don't get better than 100M advertised.

>Is this going to be a significant deterrent to mugging in practice, or are muggers still going to approach for your wallet, and take the phone in any case (to prevent calling, and to flip it for parts)? Is there data?

It's a deterrent because instead of getting a working phone that you might be able to sell for $500+ second hand, you get a brick that's only usable for parts. It might not stop all muggings, but it does make it much less lucrative. Given how many countries are going cashless, a phone is basically the highest value item a person has on them, so being able to cut the value of that is certainly going to deter the marginal criminal.

>For muggers that want the phone not to be tied to a Google account, is a mugging going to turn in a more intense and lengthy encounter, while they make you deactivate your account on it?

Adding a 1-2 hour probably makes the "force you to unlock the phone" strategy from being viable.

>(And they're getting nervous about how long it's taking, and take it out on you.)

It might suck for the first few people who get mugged, but after the first few the thieves would realize it's not caused by the victim and there's nothing they can do about it. Granted, a person who decides to mug people probably isn't the most rational, but this strategy seems to be used elsewhere (eg. time delayed bank/narcotic safes).

UI controls are not responsive.
Search is slow . Keyboard latency is frustrating. Large books overwhelm the device (try reading a study bible ) . Switching books is slow . Seeking pages is slow . The UI is clumsy and inconsistent – some appearance adjustments are on the top menu and some are in settings. Settings and menu design model is inconsistent .

Despite being a mature device it has the design and performance of a beta product
Do you mean improve outcomes? Assuming that’s what you mean, improvement of outcomes for cancer patients seems more reliant on proper treatment rather than detection.

I've tried it, and I do not like it. The flavor is boring.

Checking up on Huy Fong today, I discovered that they have announced another production disruption this month, expected to last until Labor Day. Their pepper supply is too green.

I appreciate their dedication to product! Yes it's a serious supply chain management failure, but I can accept that their requirements are difficult for vendors to meet. A substandard Sriracha might be better than no Sriracha, but there are plenty of substandard vendors already. I'll wait for Huy Fong to get the good stuff sorted out.

I hope they resolve this issue soon and permanently. Maybe they and their old pepper grower can make amends, for the good of humanity.
How do you "lose your PIN"?
Show HN: I made a website to explore AI tools
Recently, I developed an AI tools website, and wrote a crawler +AI generated content tool. At present, I have included dozens of sites to maintain daily updates.
I imagine the first models that trained on HN comments resulted in staff members resigning and becoming hermit alcoholics after some brainstorming and "Show HN" test runs. To make something that didn't result in instant and persistent despair likely meant a lot of sentiment analysis on input data, and the result is a system that is extremely pleased every time we show up.
>To prove they were serious, thiefs attached addresses and names of the victim relatives.

How did they get that info?
The limited time duration is a big deal, I agree. It's an extrapolation from insufficient data. (Though the studies were evidently powerful enough to come up with a number, so the probability is not that near 0.) But that also means insufficient data to provide evidence for net benefit from an intervention, and an intervention really needs to prove its worth before you go about tempting fate by taking something biologically active. Where is the evidence that statins "reduce the risk of ever having a heart attack"?

I'm going to disagree about the cohort. That only means that if you have prior heart disease, you should not be looking at an NNT derived from a population without prior heart disease. The site's conclusions are mostly irrelevant for you, and should not factor into a rational decision.

If you don't have prior heart disease and are weighing your options, then those data are relevant to you. The vast majority of people who are deciding whether to take statins are in this category.

People deciding whether to try to remove a bullet from their abdomen, and who have no reason to believe that they have ever been shot, should not be weighing the outcomes of test subjects who had been shot before participating in the trial. (It would really suck to be in the control group...)

I'm not saying you shouldn't take statins, with or without prior heart disease. An individual would have more to go on than the existence or absence of a prior heart disease diagnosis. Exact cholesterol readings, for example, might create more or less urgency.

But if I were in the situation of deciding for myself, I'd want better evidence for them than I have seen presented so far. I am suspicious of an industry for which this is a big success story.
ddrescue might be a good change for you, in particular specifying to not retry (because you're going to come back later) and to specify the 'log' file that's actually a map of every sector on the source drive and whether it's been successfully imaged.

I don't think I've ever imaged an SSD, but for HDDs your ideal is a single pass through with no retries on bad blocks, possibly skipping ahead if you hit a bad block, and a log file writing to the destination drive where you're also storing the image in a file (NOT doing direct output of the input disk). This gets you everything you can get with minimal disruption of the source.

After that first run you'll specify the same log file for every time you run it, and (on HDDs) you can tell it to do things like trying to read the higher-numbered sectors first (so if you got an error on block 10,000 and told it to skip 100 on errors, now you start at 10,099 and work backwards, perhaps getting down to 10,005 before you get another error. Basically, get the dropped fruit, then the low-hanging fruit, then work harder for anything remaining.

Before you do those followup runs though, it's a good idea to look at things with the 'ddrutility' tools to see if you even need to bother. ddru_findbad will let you use the image file and 'log' file to identify what files might have pieces missing so you can decide if you need to progress further; ddru_ntfsfindbad does basically the same thing for NTFS volumes. It's always nice to determine that 1) yes there's a chunk of bad blocks and 2) we don't have to care because they're all in the Hibernation file so we can restore that image to a new drive, boot, disable and re-enable hibernation just to be cautious, and have no concerns about lost data on the old drive without having to beat the crap out of the drive hoping that on the 1000th attempt it's finally going to read that one failing sector.

sorry if the latter part of that got preachy, I've seen some bad advice in the past on imaging failing drives and it's made me sensitive....
AT&T Fiber is expanding quickly in North Texas. Got 2.5 gigabit a couple years ago to my suburban home in the edge of DFW where it transitions to rural. Their headquarters are in Dallas so they are keen on expanding locally.
Meant to say "bugreports for which the upstream doesn't accept". But maybe I was just unlucky.
I see a wider problem here, interacting with this AI could train people to behave the same way with real people. Interrupt them whenever you feel like it, order them to do things, turn them off, walk away while they are still talking. People may start imitating the AI's behavior to put someone down, treat them as second class, as though they were also an AI just to be used, and not a person. If people use this conversational AI often then the ways they interact with it will creep into peoples use of language with each other. People imitate each other all the time, they will start imitating the AI. They'll think it is funny but after a while it may not turn out to be so funny.

Background: I've worked on all side of this spectrum, left Google 10 years ago and have been working in startups since then. And now founder of a startup.

I agree that from a financial outcome perspective, the odds of making big in startups may not be in your favor.

"Interesting work" perspective may need a bit more color. No matter if you work in a big tech or startup - majority of the work is very mundane. Even if you are working on the coolest AI big-tech or startup, you are probably not doing "exciting cutting edge" work most of the time!

This is probably also why folks who join a startup looking for exciting work get bored quickly with the day-today mundaneness.

Eventually what matters from the interesting work perspective is to understand what part of the work truly gives you joy - what makes you excited about getting off the bed and do great work - even the mundane one.

The motivation could be - seeing your product being used by millions of users, solving a hard problem, sharing your research with the world, having a great work-life balance, or getting rich. Understanding that can help answer the question on what is right place for you.

One challenge I've found in big-tech is that even if the company is doing amazing work, not everyone gets an opportunity to work on the most exciting projects.

I built an opnsense box (part of my proxmox cluster) and passed through a dual 10gbe nic. That whole PC was cheaper than any off the shelf routing solution I could find.

The rest of the network is going to take time... I suspect that im gonna end up with a few fiber runs in the house before all is said and done.

Australia has Abbott and friends to thank for fucking the whole NBN plan up royally.

We would have had fiber to the premises everywhere and affordable gigabit by now, but Abbott decided Australia shouldn't spend money on what he saw as merely a "video entertainment system" and binned it in favour of the current Mixed Technology mess.

Which then actually cost more to implement.

Author here. Was not expecting this quick post being picked up by HN - thanks for all the comments!

I want to acknowledge that the original title is inaccurate, as many of you have pointed out. It should be "(current) LLMs don't brainstorm novel things really well" rather than just brainstorming.

It's not intended to be a clickbait though - I was kind of mixing two definitions of brainstorming unintentionally. When we refer to the group activity that aims to collect all angles from participants (and common wisdoms), LLMs are really good, and it's something I do on a regular basis. However when it comes to the hope of reaching novel ideas that don't exist before (which some of us will consider what distinguishes brainstorming from group discussion or research study), I would say today's LLMs don't do well. I've seen such issue in business and arts domains, and also someone here mentioned similar experience in video game design.

I would argue that (so far) for any idea LLMs tell us, there exists at least one instance of a similar pattern in the training data (either exact or in a high level). If this is what you need, then great. But some problems require more than that. And I would argue that a lot of important innovations in history didn't follow this pattern. I'm aware of reports on LLMs helping research (e.g. the works shared by Terry Tao), but I don't think they contradict the point here. Will be super happy to be proven wrong though!
Which one have you tried?
As an economist, I totally agree. Funding of high-return majors by good students should have rock-bottom interest rates.

The govt should only be stepping into the loan market if the market isn’t happening. (Not that the market is doing loans wonderfully, but there are some new innovators.)

The govt should be helping the poor and investing in strategic capabilities. But the whole loan market and helping school rob parents of as much as they can pay? No.
