Correct.

Plus, when rebuilding a failed RAID-5 disk, the system is engaging in mass calculations to rebuild that data from the “fingerprints” stored on the other drives.

Conversely, with RAID-10, we have mirrored drives (the 1 part of the RAID) which are then striped across the pairs that exist (the 0 part of the RAID). As such, IIRC rebuilds are a lot faster because it is a direct copy instead of a CPU-intensive rebuild of the data.

Plus, you have (technically) a n-drive failure capability, where n = the number of mirrored pairs of drives. Provided that you don’t have more than one drive per pair fail, of course. So for a RAID-10 of four drives, where you have a stripe across two mirrored pairs of drives, you could have up to two drives fail without experiencing data loss, so long as each failed drive was from a different mirrored pair.

Plus, RAID-10 is much faster than RAID-5, and much, much faster than RAID-6.

Out of curiosity, could you recommend any Science Fiction written before the nuclear age that talks about nuclear proliferation? Or to take something from our present world, what Science Fiction stories would you recommend to talk about the effect of drone tech on trade and shipping?
Speaking from personal experience I would do that more for the local busybodies than out of any real fear for my child's safety. There are a ton of older people in our area who never had kids but feel like they can police how you parent.

If they can't learn then they don't have general intelligence, without learning there are many problems you wont be able to solve that average (or even very dumb) people can solve.

Learning is a core part to general intelligence, as general intelligence implies you can learn about new problems so you can solve those. Take away that and you are no longer a general problem solver.
It's just like "LEGO® bricks." They're desperately trying to avoid genericization but it's way too late and nobody is going to say that informally. All companies want you to use their trademarks as capitalized adjectives but nobody can make you, personally, do that. But it does help with their official corporate partners who will follow the guidance if they want to stay in Adobe/LEGO's good graces.

> > That would be illegal

> What do you mean it would be illegal? Obviously the corporation prices in all the expected future recalls into their prices. Yes they won't charge you for the recall, but the future costumers will pay higher prices if in the corporation's calculation the chance of recalls (or the cost of doing them) is increased.

Why oh why do I have to read this on HN again and again? The price of a good does not primarily depend on the cost to make it. So no Boeing can't easily raise their future prices to account for the cost of saving lifes, because there are competitors.
There are also occasionally significant visual differences between the platforms. Like, a squirt gun and a handgun just aren't the same thing.

The goals of this project and the goals of N64 emulation are fairly different.

The goal of N64 emulators (generally) is to accurately recreate the behavior of the original console.

Conversely, there is a large crowd of people who just want to play SM64, OOT and MM with a bevy of "graphical enhancements" like 60fps, widescreen, texture packs, randomizers, etc.

For these people, the fact that these games originally ran on the N64 is practically irrelevant. In fact, it's a hindrance; The N64's graphical pipeline is cumbersome to emulate and actively stands in the way of modern 'enhancements.'

This project is more aimed at giving the games themselves modern treatments, removing the N64-centric aspects of the games from the equation entirely.

100%. I see them conflated a lot, particularly outside of HN, and I think it really damages the discourse. Censorship for political or brand reasons (and I'm not making a moral judgement by my choice of language) is very different to aligning for safety reasons.
> Boeing 737 MAX 7 is 138,699 lbs vs 737 800 @ 90,710lb vs 737 100 @ 61.994 lbs. Hell the new 737 MAX 10 is ~203,000 lb.

No, you are confusing the empty weight of the 737-800 with the mass gross takeoff weight of the 737 max 7.

The correct comparison of MGTW is 174,200 (-800) vs 177,000 (max 7).

Similarly, the -100’s MGTW was 110,000, not 61,994. Also, the only source I can find for the max 10 is 197,900, not 203,000.

Edit: so the plane grew by 80%, not 320%
Show HN: Tarsier – Vision utilities for web interaction agents
Hey HN! I built a tool that gives LLMs the ability to understand the visual structure of a webpage even if they don't accept image input. We've found that unimodal GPT-4 + Tarsier's textual webpage representation consistently beats multimodal GPT-4V/4o + webpage screenshot by 10-20%, probably because multimodal LLMs still aren't as performant as they're hyped to be.

Over the course of experimenting with pruned HTML, accessibility trees, and other perception systems for web agents, we've iterated on Tarsier's components to maximize downstream agent/codegen performance.

Here's the Tarsier pipeline in a nutshell:

1. tag interactable elements with IDs for the LLM to act upon & grab a full-sized webpage screenshot

2. for text-only LLMs, run OCR on the screenshot & convert it to whitespace-structured text (this is the coolest part imo)

3. map LLM intents back to actions on elements in the browser via an ID-to-XPath dict

Humans interact with the web through visually-rendered pages, and agents should too. We run Tarsier in production for thousands of web data extraction agents a day at Reworkd (https://reworkd.ai).

By the way, we're hiring backend/infra engineers with experience in compute-intensive distributed systems!

I can ask ChatGPT questions that require logic to answer, and it will do just fine in most cases. It has certain limitations, but to say it isn't able to apply logic is just completely contrary to my experience with ChatGPT.

I don't think I agree, given the motivations and actual practices of burning are both unknown. They mention burnt homes, indicating they're aware of the practice, but steer clear of including in their study. IMO that makes the most sense because while House Burning (which may or may not have been done en masse) could be related to egalitarian home size, it's not clear that it is related; and if it is related, it's not clear at all what the relationship would be.

The only value of tying the two things together would be saying "We don't and maybe can't actually know anything about these people," which is useless. Instead they took a focused approach to using a known tool, the Gini coefficient, to make some specific guesses.
It depends on how you do the formal verification. There are systems like SPARK/Ada which brings the specification into the language you're developing in (supports only a subset of Ada, but every year they're expanding what it covers), JML which does something similar for Java but the specification language is expressed in its own notation in Java comments, and others.

If you use these kinds of systems you can be more judicious in what you try to prove. Whole program proofs are infeasible (or at least impractical) generally, but you pick the subsets you care about most and you can add annotations and prove them (automatically ideally, but you can bring in an external proof assistant as well). You leave the rest of the system to testing which has proven remarkably effective over the decades (when taken seriously, at least).

This isn't an all-or-nothing proposition, you choose how to spend your time and effort with formal verification just like you do with testing or other work.

> What a ridiculous analogy. "Athlete" is a career.

The athlete is the extreme example, but there are obviously people who are not career athletes that don't have a defined stop point with employing a trainer (maybe you could say "death" is the stop point).

Most everyone who goes to spinning class isn't a career athlete. Some of them are terribly out of shape, and some of those people just want to get in shape. Others may already be in shape, but see the spinning class as a way to either improve or maintain their conditioning. None of this is deemed ridiculous.

I'm curious, it's considered the norm to regularly see a doctor or dentist, do you think they're preying on their patients?

How has it been trying to find Angular devs and online resources (Q&A, etc.?)

I loved AngularJS v1 when it first came out. The Angular 2+ learning curve was high and React seemed to just leapfrog over it and explode in popularity. In the last five years or so, I've only seen one Angular codebase and it was really hard to troubleshoot it due to the lack of easily available "me too" questions online. I haven't heard it discussed at all in a good decade or so now; even if the code is good, it seems like the mindshare is completely gone, at least in my circles?

Tools used for art often get irrationally preserved for the sake of it.

You people are all missing the point:

Your loved one's decline is something you have superior insight into. "Global decline": no, you probably do not.

The former is something that an outsider can't argue with you about, unless they know the person. The latter: yes, they can. Their facts and opinions might well be better than yours.
At the time there were _no_ tools that scaled to what people needed so they had to build their own.

99% of what makes illegal drugs unsafe is caused by prohibition. Liquor store clerks aren't known to murder drinkers because the drinkers have been trying to pass fake twenties. The cops and beer dealers don't get in shootouts and kill each other or bystanders. Any time someone ODed, it was because the heroin was laced with fentanyl, or cut too much or not enough... none of which happens if heroin is regulated by the FDA, and doses are measured and unadulterated. With clean disposable needles in the box, no one gets AIDS or hepatitis. And you could probably train the junkies to use sharps containers and return them when full to get their deposit back.

Hell, even petty theft is caused by piss tests... if you truly believe that these people become addicted to badly that they'll do anything for a fix, hey guess what? That includes scrubbing toilets for minimum wage. So why do they steal copper wire out of foreclosed homes for scrap? Because piss tests disqualify them for the toilet scrubbing positions.
We use typescript + pulumi for this. It's pretty amazing. And Pulumi uses Terraform modules under the hood so you get the full power of Terraform with the goodness of Typescript.

Even self hosting your state management in a bucket is simpler with Pulumi since it uses lock files on S3 versus a separate DyanamoDB + S3 combo.

I have been using it in production for 4-5 years and used Terraform for several years before that.
I have had this question. How much better would common LLMs (Llama, GPTN) be if they were only trained in one language? I have to assume they would perform better, but I might be wrong.
Disclaimer: I didn't get through the paywall.

I wonder if this will force the thought about a separate road/area for e-bikes and the like. E-bikes and even gas bikes are pretty dangerous in my city and they ride on the sidewalks as well. Their only saving grace is not a ton of people walk.
Yeah, it's awesome as you can set this up relatively easily with EmuDeck and play it with the two sticks on the Steam Deck.
I'm not sure what the real disadvantage is though. Like, as a British person I can easily buy shares in companies listed in the US. If a British company IPOs on the NYSE but keeps it's HQ and most employees in the UK, does that actually say anything about the UK economy, or just a bit about the LSE specifically and maybe some corporate law details?

I've been thinking about this a bit and concluded (surprisingly!) that it is probably not an asymptotic speed up!

First thoughts: The memoization algorithm is linear in n, and the repeated squaring algorithm is logarithmic in n, so the second one is faster.

Second thoughts: Fibonacci numbers grow exponentially, so we should consider the speed of actually adding and multiplying them. Adding is linear in the number of digits, so linear in n (because F(n) grows exponentially). Multiplication is quadratic in n! The memoization algorithm is repeated adding, so we get an extra linear factor, total complexity O(n^2). The repeated squaring uses multiplication, so we get an extra quadratic factor, total complexity O(n^2 log n). The first is faster!

Third thoughts: the fastest known algorithm for multiplying numbers is actually O(n log n) in the number of digits. We're down to O(n log n log n). The second is faster! That's probably terribly impractical, but there are apparently multiplication algorithms that are less impractical, with a smaller exponent than 2, so still an improvement over the first method.

But without specialized multiplication routines, the first is asymptotically faster.

What I am trying to argue is that valuing a human life accurately doesn't matter if you're weighing it against your own profits. The correct comparison is against societal benefit, profit is completely morally irrelevant.

I agree that the ceiling for how much money you could spend trying to make an airplane perfectly safe is infinite, so by definition they have to stop somewhere. However, I disagree that finding that line of where to stop has anything to do with the statistical value of a human life.

For example, imagine the Boeing CEO says "we could spend $20 billion on R&D and manufacturing of a new safety system that would on average prevent 1 crash per year, but a 737 MAX carries 200 people, at $15M per life that's only $3 billion in value, so it's obviously better for us to skip it and pass that $20 billion on to shareholders". This would be criminal, and not because their value of a life is off and they got the math a little bit wrong. It's criminal because they are consciously choosing to kill people unnecessarily.

If it is physically and financially possible to make your product safer, you do it, without any thought to how much a life is worth. If it is not possible, because you can't figure out how to solve a problem or it would be so expensive to fix that your business couldn't survive, then you sit down and think about whether it's worth selling your product at all. Are there safer alternatives available? Could a better-funded company fix the flaws you've found? If you determine that your product is important, there are no alternatives out there, and it cannot be made safer, only then do you start weighing the benefits to society against the deaths you expect to occur. I don't really think this is a financial decision involving the value of a life - if you expect your product to kill people then the expected benefits need to be so overwhelming that doing the financial math is unnecessary.
How do you do the "Swipe out of bounds" one on desktop?
Sure if you are trying to get a cheap desktop computer, the Pi always made a mediocre desktop experience. But if you need GPIO or very low power consumption or a SPI connection with a community that understands its quirks very well I doubt you are going to be happy with an old Intel desktop.
This is something I’ve worried about, but I’m not very knowledgeable.

Ask HN: Are the Google AI releases lacking something?

So most of my understanding comes from this series, particularly the last two videos: https://www.3blue1brown.com/topics/neural-networks

Essentially each token of a text occupies a point in a many-dimensional model that represents meaning, and LLMs predict the next token by modifying the last token with the context of all the tokens before it. Attention heads are basically a way of choosing which prior tokens are most relevant and adjusting the last token's point in vector-space accordingly.
I'm tired of the activism too. I would love to have less of that and more complex discussion that acknowledges the myriad takes on political organization, political economy, economics, basic ethics, etc. that are out there.

Metal is the last Framework that was designed Objective-C first, everything else now is focused on Swift.

However a big difference to Android, is that you don't see Objective-C shots from Swift team, as Kotlin/Compose folks do against Java (while using Java 8 as counter example, and ignoring the ecosystem Kotlin depends on), which has really put me off from Android.

Data isn’t necessarily good because medicine and biology are messy and inaccurate. I just went through a scare myself with elevated markers on a typical blood panel. Lots of fuss, anxiety, and cost for zero gain. At the end, I learned that human bodies vary so much that we’re was just no way to know upfront if a finding was a concern or if my body was just on a tail end of a bell curve. Turns out, if you fully scan people, we all have lumps, bumps, and various anomalies. How much do you spend “treating” and investigating this stuff? I wasted my own time and precious time with doctors for nothing, increasing costs to society as a whole.

That kind of data, the costs, we have tons of. That’s why pretty much every medical association regardless of culture has limits on recommended screenings.
To be fair, N64 is not the PS2 or Gameboy--there are only 388 games that were released for it. Going through all of the games that were released and shepherding them through this process is feasible.
