It's considered an emergent phenomenon of LLMs [1]. So arithmetic reasoning seems to increase as LLMs reasoning grows too. I seem to recall a paper mentioning that LLMs that are better at numeric reasoning are better at overall conversational reasoning too, so it seems like the two come hand in hand.

However we don't know the internals of ChatGPT-4, so they may be using some agents to improve performance, or fine-tuning at training. I would assume their training has been improved IMO.

Haha, yeah I’m still a CEO of a YC-backed company too. I wouldn’t use it as evidence of anything except that I’m capable of having a company not go bankrupt for 17 years. (Man typing that makes me feel old.)

CEOs of tech companies fall for the anti-capitalist propaganda as much as anyone, in fact maybe more. There’s always been a far-left political lean to tech. Which hey, whatever floats your boat.
If by “formal identity” you mean that Arab nationalism didn’t exist until the late 1800s/early 1900s, no quibbling from me, but the Arabs certainly understood themselves, and the outside world understood them, as an ethnic group for thousands of years prior. This is the same as saying Germans didn’t exist as a formal identity prior to the 19th century; it’s true in a certain sense but it’s important to be clear.

I think GP is complaining the credit seems a little weird; the religious conversion happened due to violent conquest, not peaceful proselytizing. The name implies to him the religion deserves credit when the conquests a few centuries prior really brought the region into a dark age out of which the “golden age” was merely a moderate recovery. It’s certainly true that large areas of the MENA never again regained their wealth and fame again, and some ancient centers of learning were permanently deserted at this time.

Just read the Twitter account of ffmpeg just to see what they thinks about this, spoiler alert: he doesn't like it to say the least.
Looks like an interesting idea.
Are the other 2% still with us?
No false positives is an unreasonably high standard, as it no false negative. For example, children do sometimes lie, or they claim abuse when there isn't any when under the influence of other adults who distort the child's notion of what constitutes abuse. Perfection is not attainable, whether false positives or false negatives are concerned. Mistakes will happen. You cannot assume the worst as a precaution, nor ignore evidence that strongly suggests abuse. We cannot control the world. Lots of crime happens that is never punished, sometimes because of the neglect of the state, but also sometimes because chasing down every crime does more harm than good. In the case of child abuse, an overbearing state with oversensitive notions of child abuse is dangerous. The state must accept its limitations and mind the common good.

The question is a matter of having sufficient evidence, taking precautionary measures proportional to the evidence of abuse when it makes sense, and the use of prudential judgement. The last one is unavoidable. The law is not a mechanically applied algorithm. It is something that requires good judgement. The most important things are sound abuse laws, and competent people with good judgement who have a good understanding of abuse and the law.
It seems like that's the method to build his 5 houses then, rather than denying it. It seems unlikely that the present number of houses is the precise optimal number.
DOJ statement reads like a crypto bro has written it. Is it the usual style those statements are written in?
Ok, call it an intentional backdoor?
They were more careful. "provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States" is a justification for the enumerated powers. The enumerated powers were much more specific like

To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;

To provide and maintain a Navy;

The so-called "elastic clause" is the one that reads "To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers". Which can indeed be read fairly expansively, particularly if you ignore the clear and explicit intent to keep government power circumscribed. But there isn't anything anywhere near as ridiculous as a power to promote the general welfare as such.

I do wish there was a canned-drink emoji. There's 'CANNED FOOD' (U+1F96B) as of Unicode 10 but that doesn't fit the use case for me since drinks are typically consumed straight from the can.
But we use a country name in the sentence: "That seems Spanish to me" (Das kommt mir spanisch vor) although that would 'translate' to "That seems fishy to me"

Pyramids are a pile of big rocks. They're pretty well fitted big rocks, but engineering and construction wise they've got nothing on a Burj Khalifa, or a Millau Viaduct (below which the Great Pyramid would fit handily), or a Three Gorges Dam.

The Palace of the Parliament of Romania has a larger outer volume than the Great Pyramid, and is ~40% lighter, and is an actual building (so large it's mostly unused), and was built in just 13 years, by Romania, in the 80s.

Hell, while the Memphis Pyramid and the Luxor Las Vegas are smaller than the Great Pyramid, they're mostly usable volume, not mostly rock.

It's not that we can't build a pyramid, it's that if you have a few hundred mils lying around there are more useful and / or cooler things to build.
Unleash the power of dynamo hubs to charge your phone
I'll be patiently waiting until some free software thing leapfrogs it in capability and platform support. Mostly because I probably won't own two different devices with thunderbolt/usb4 before then.
We’ve been promised self-driving cars since the 1960s, and the wait is far from over.
That doesn't surprise me too much. I never really used Spotify or any music app much in the past. This discovery was a convergence of things - switching from Android to iPhone, a renewed exercise routine, and most importantly a new iPhone and hearing aid combo that allowed the iPhone to stream directly to my hearing aid, removing the need for bulky headphones. Phone calls are also streamed directly to hearing aid. Game changing!
Things like this truly make me wonder what the whole point of crypto is. On one hand, if it is truly "decentralized finance" and "code is law", then, well, hats off to these MIT brothers who executed their code. I mean, nearly a decade ago the DAO was hacked due to code bugs, and despite the hard fork of Ethereum (which was quite controversial), many people thought it was essentially a fair bug bounty.

If though, crypto requires things like the FBI and the legal system to enforce fair rules for participants, what benefit does it give over "traditional" finance? That is, isn't the whole reason for crypto existing in the first place is that it doesn't depend on governmental backing?
From a site like SEOroundtable, I would assume some kind of bias.
The issue with colorful emojis is that they are represented differently on different platforms.

If you want to control what emoji the receiver of your message actually sees, you have to use ascii emojis :-)
Not a dupe, previous post from the same site here: (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38685782), talking about an adjacent topic.

I agree with you 100%. Remember RPA? Well...it's really telling to me how 5 years on from that hype cycle, stuff still isn't automated.

Where I am maybe a little more cynical than you is that I'm not sure anyone in corporate IT has a long-termist view anymore. budgets in IT seem to have risen less than inflation in the last few years, while software, hardware and services prices have...not. "Digital" everything has added cost, most large enterprises are already partly outsourced and have taken the easy gains from labor arbitrage, and have now been signed up by the CEO to somehow deliver AI for the business.

Its sad to me because most of every business would cease to function entirely without functioning IT, but it tends to have been run as a cost center to be minimized/extracted from, rather than a function like sales or marketing which are seen as being directly attached to revenue.
> Maybe that’s the key to AGI

Get out. Stop trying to make everything about AI.
Especially if Tesla is going to play a game of "If you fall, you're fired before you hit the ground" with disabling autopilot in imminent accidents.

I agree with your bullet points but one thing to keep in mind regarding the second one is that it is currently a legal requirement to have a human driver ready to take over at all times (which is to say that the legislator thinks that there is no real, safe full self-driving capability yet).
CPUs have multiple cache levels because the machine cycle at the CPU die is ~500ps while writing to main memory and then need to read it at the same latency, that’s going to be around 200ns while the CPU is idle.

To mask this, we write back to cache and rely on cache coherency algorithms and multiway, multilevel caches to make sure main memory is written back to and read when cache tags are invalidated.

tl;dr - Current process technologies make SRAM very much faster than DRAM and multiple levels of multiway caches create a time based interface to maximise memory throughput to the CPU regsisters while maintaining coherent memory write backs.

It’s worth noting that Apple Silicon is fast because their DRAM bandwidth is much closer to the same machine cycle latency as the APU cores’caches and registers.
Hmm, no I think people don't get what I'm saying.

Yes, you might waste five years (in your words) of income. But that is not a "risk".

A "risk" for me is "this could all go badly wrong". Not having an extra five years of savings is just a fairly straightforward consequence. It's predictably going to happen, I can decide if I want it.

Real risk is "something can go catastrophically wrong". If say you've taken out a huge bank loan to fund the business and you have to declare bankruptcy if it fails, now _that_ is a risk. But nearly every founder I've ever met has taken nothing like that risk.

That's my point, startups are not risky in that sense, for most people, most of the time. It's kinda strange that so many people think they are.
I don't think it was for the technical fit or performance reasons, but more a philosophy about everything starts with data, and graphics are just visualizations anchored to the data points (or a functionally derived property of the data points).

That also means the d3-* libraries compose really well, since the data is the common binding, and not some conceptual class or custom element.
D3 runs in the browser and it manipulates DOM nodes, a very high level abstraction. You can accomplish something with it using SVG, which is again a high level abstraction. You can give it data and it will spit out numbers that you can use to draw something on the screen. You can bind that data to elements and it will keep track of what's entering and what's exiting. You can apply fancy transitions with a line of code! You can make it change an appearance of e.g. a graph by changing the interpolation method. And so on.

Sure you have to write code, but it does a lot of things in the background that would take you s lot longer to do yourself. High level is not just "here's a library on top of D3 that you just give data to and you're done, but then you have to cry for days because you need to do something it didn't think of - 80% of use cases". When I used it I didn't get it, but then I took some time, a couple days, to actually understand it and I got a lot more productive. It's a great feeling when instead of thinking in workarounds for a missing configuration option you can think in solutions for the actual task. A lot quicker and more rewarding.

I didn't do much computer graphics in my life, some mandatory university classes, but I'd say doing it on the simplest beginner level it was a much different experience.

Instead of a specific key combination that a) clashes with the way the vast majority of computer users enter text, b) is neither obvious nor easily discoverable, and c) not available or awkward to enter depending on the input device, we could also separate the monitoring of running processes from the command prompt and let the terminal application offer a control to cancel them, or match modern user expectations and do so using the Escape key. Or entirely different.

The point is that we don't use ^C because it's ergonomic or obvious, but because of conventions inherited from a time long gone. Keeping legacy software running does not imply imposing the same UX constraints on users.
Thanks for the link to Conv-KAN!. I had a quick look and I have a few points. Firstly, they use a different implementation compared to the original KAN paper, i.e. they use efficient-kan (https://github.com/Blealtan/efficient-kan) - maybe some of the issues are negated in this alternative implementation? Secondly, it could be that there is something that's a bit different when applying KAN through convolution layers - again, something that negates some of the holes pinpointed in that post. Thirdly, Conv-KAN authors actually claim "At the moment we aren't seeing a significant improvement in the performance of the KAN Convolutional Networks compared to the traditional Convolutional Networks".
That speedup is not unconditional. It only occurs in portions of the input string that don't trigger any state transitions. And the length of those portions has to be some reasonable multiple of the size of your vector register. What constitutes a state transition will depend highly on the structure of your input string and the information you wish to extract from it. As an example, if I want to build a nested array/map of things from this input JSON:

{"a": "bcd", "ef": [{},{},{"a":12,"b":100},{"a":12,"b":100},{"a":12,"b":100}, ...]}

SIMD will not provide an appreciable performance boost because the data type changes every few characters. There's no string or whitespace or number in that JSON that is large enough to speed up scanning.
The arbitrage is happening on on-chain exchanges which require transactions to work with.
ChatGPT can bridge languages like Python and JavaScript
The original GPT-2 was trained significantly on scraped Reddit conversation data (hence the SolidGoldMagikarp bug), so it's very funny that things are coming full circle.
Ah! So this is an unfamiliarity issue on my part: I didn’t realize cortex_m::interrupt::Mutex has a different API than std::sync::Mutex or the various spinlock mutices. It deliberately only provides immutability because they want you to be able to choose how to do the interior mutability yourself. Now this all seems reasonable. Tricky!

(With hubris the interrupt stuff is abstracted away so you don’t need to access stuff this way, hence at least some of that unfamiliarity.)

Agree. Not to mention that vegetarians and vegans also tend to be wealthier, which also helps people live longer.
It’s just breaking the law, and is criminal. “Civil disobedience” is just a false way to minimize the fact that they’re acting unlawfully. They have ways to make change legally. If that doesn’t work they need to accept it, not decide to destroy society.
ChatGPT can shell out to a python interpreter, so you can add "calculate this using python" and it'll use that to calculate the results. (no guarantees it gets the python code right though)

After the trial, customers would have to pay $200 (or $100 now?) a month for the privilege, right? So most customers didn't think $2400 or $1200 a year for this feature was compelling.
Because, why would you we when we have those machines..
What a weird argument. Just look at how we used to be build cathedrals until recently and how many labourers died. Heck, take a look at the construction of the World Cup Stadiums in Qatar...
Worth noting that this is preferred stock so the investor will get their money back if Vercel sells for anything more than $250m.
You know, in standard sales situations, 2% conversion is pretty good.

That being said, these are existing customers and I think the pricing for FSD is just bad.

I suspect they will eventually lower it.
No doubt, if you have something relatively small to defend this might absolutely be effective. For a ship I think you have to worry about energy consumption though and design for that.
Now that there's a technology threatening the continued existence of developers, we're seeing a backlash here on HN and elsewhere.

Fascinating, but all too expected.

Just remember how you feel now when working on projects putting other people out of work and consider the ramifications of what you're doing. What's that you say? You're just streamlining processes and cutting waste? Hate to inform you, some of that "waste" you're cutting are human beings needing a job.

Hey, I do it too. But we have to recognize that as we go further down this road this whole notion of removing all social safety nets, if you don't have a job then just go off and die mentality that we have has to shift. We can either be smart and figure out how to make this transition peacefully, or we can be stupid and endure a violent revolution that's going to wipe out the value of our capital assets, and in general wreak havoc in our lives. Many of us here on HN have a lot to lose in this scenario.

Our choice.

I suggest we choose wisely.
An advantage of using lists is that tx data tends to be built up serially in code. Having to look at your tx data in a different (set) order would make proofreading alongside the code more difficult.
$25 a week isn’t insane for the convenience that Tesla’s FSD product offers, and that would still be true if it were geofenced to just highways.
Graham himself debated an actual archeologist on the Rogan podcast not too long ago. I think he makes it pretty clear that he's mostly advocating that there is a nonzero amount of evidence for a pre ice age civilization that was significantly more advanced than immediate post ice age civilizations.

Im not convinced he's correct, but that doesn't make his stuff invalid. He's basically just presenting an alternative interpretation of the data and academic archeology is vilifying him for it, which they've done to several people before who ended up being right.

Of course in his shows he presents everything as fact, just like every other science does.
If you'd like it said more succinctly, here's the EFF saying it:

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/08/isps-should-not-police...

Courts and judges seem slow and fuddy-duddy, but they're conducted in public, and you have legal avenues of appeal. Unregulated private businesses can do whatever the fuck they like, and that includes just fucking with you because of personal vendettas. Private businesses that fuck with arbitrary people aren't worthy of being a nation's internet backbone. That behaviour needs reigned in, and common carrier status needs to apply.

That said, Josh is a piece of shit. He's been trying to maintain the PR line that his forum didn't kill Byuu; they didn't, but they double down and claim Byuu isn't even dead. He's had evidence for over a year that Byuu died exactly as claimed, and he didn't bother publishing it and correcting the public record because it made his site look bad. He's normally so eager to publish the truth of awful internet behaviour, but he's silent on his own site's dirty deeds. What else is he hiding?
Because while there are emoji conventions for user-specified colors, there are none for sizes.
After owning a Model 3 for five years, I somehow just got invited to a 30-day FSD trial yesterday. So today was day one for me. I intervened about 6 times, but none of them were critical like for a potential collision. Just a lack of trust that it was doing the right thing at the right time (speed, signaling, courtesy, hesitation, etc).
You don't really need to, just attack on days with bad weather.
That's also with modern medicine. Back in the day you had to have lots of kids because nearly all of them died and you needed someone to work the farm and care for you in old age. In modern society, they're viewed more as an expense.
(About the paying customers)

No problem. They already paid 10,000 bucks for it. Now you can sell version 2 in three years

I don't think most people would want to use anatomical emoji in the first place. though there's always 8=D
Your focus on "the most cost effective way" is fine in principle but in practice, we don't know ahead of time what bugs exist and what their impact is. Experience has shown that the prevalence and impact of memory safety and data race bugs is very difficult to predict, and the impact has very high variance. There are so many examples of memory safety bugs and races that lie dormant for years and suddenly become very important (e.g. because someone malicious discovered them, or because the software started being used in a different context).

Note that these safety bugs are really different from most other kinds of bugs in that their potential impact is unbounded: they can cause the program to behave in arbitrary ways. Logic errors, even stuff like non-UB integer overflow, have impact that is still constrained by the expected semantics of the programming language.

Given that uncertainty, it makes sense to take precautions. If you have cheap tools to eliminate those bugs, do it just in case. That might even be cheaper than trying to figure out ahead of time how important those bugs are going to be over the lifetime of the software (which is often an impossible task anyway).
A well-written and well-sourced proposal might sway the Unicode Consortium. The 'powered on'/'powered off' characters come to mind as a successful recent attempt which did exactly that. Existing use of such 'text' (outside of Unicode) would make that bid a lot more likely to succeed though.
Nuance: This is a sample of 3,500 people who tried the trial and decided not to spend the $8K for it.
99% is hopelessly naive. If it were true, we would live in "generate code from UML" world (it is useful only for niche tasks)

I’ve found myself deleting apps and forcing into web worked well to reduce use.

You can technically use messenger.com but need to request desktop site, login each time and then zoom out to make it useable.

For instagram they don’t allow to control pic visibility from web so I’ve stopped posting entirely.
