Every ~6 months I try to switch from vim to nvim, but somehow it never sticks. Not sure why but in my use cases it is slower than vim, the terminal is imo still worse than vim and it s harder to copy and paste to the terminal: in vim I yank and than C_W"0 (or whatever register I need) in nvim I didn't find a solution yet. Nvim always feels more clunky.
The line in the sand is generally when someone's recent enough to have living people object, the more loudly they'd object the deeper the line.

Funnily enough, a lot of contemporary spiritual groups do claim some memetic ancestry from Egypt, though I don't think that extends to the bodies of people from that era in most instances.
I agree to all that.
He provides a good and unique service. He's worth every penny. Note that for some companies, the real "expense" is dedicating engineering hours to fix the shit he lit on fire in your code.
It's an unfortunate headline (percolated through here because of HN's policy of preferring original titles).

The actual case happened in Texas. Sounds like the family sold their house and moved to Reno because of it.

News 4 is the Reno NBC affiliate. They're including "Nevada family" to make it sound local, but that's not an appropriate headline for HN's global audience. Makes it sound like Nevada institutions are unfairly taking babies from their families.
Well that'd be quite unexpected and surprising, I'd say!
n=1, but I've watch a fair bit of Youtube shorts and this has never happened.
The algorithm rewards what you watch, and someone addicted to politics and the culture of outrage around it, will get what they ask for.
Where US culture is concerned, I would associate approval of “maximum suffering for sinners” with the “fire and brimstone hell” ideology that is thoroughly rooted in the imagery of the New Testament.

I’m literally responding to someone who talked about Go and Rust who wanted a comparison.
I think we can be pretty confident GPT-4 isn't doing something like this based on its performance characteristics.

i) The complexity of the prompt/answer does not effect the time per token.

ii) We start getting a response pretty quickly (for short prompts) and then get new tokens at a roughly constant rate

I don't think either of these properties would hold if there were a bunch of models that had to coordinate before they could start writing the output. Certainly techniques like ToT violate them.
I am sympathetic to this argument. I also think the buyback program suggested upthread is probably a good idea.
Maybe for a slave.
> doesn't that point to a space constraint rather than money?

The space constraints are also caused by money. The reason we don't just add more L1 cache is that it would take up a lot of space, necessitating larger dies, which lowers yields and significantly increases the cost per chip.
I did... I mean, I had a dual boot setup long before that, and about half my time was in WSL. When I saw ad results in the start menu search on an Insiders build, I changed my boot default to my Linux drive and have booted into windows twice in as many years on my personal desktop.

node's Buffer has a `toString` with arguments (probably should have been called encode).
This speaks to a deeper issue that LLMs don’t just have statistically-based knowledge, they also have statistically-based reasoning.

This means their reasoning process isn’t necessarily based on logic, but what is statistically most probable. As you’ve experienced, their reasoning breaks down in less-common scenarios even if it should be easy to use logic to get the answer.
> He states that Graham claims to be a researcher.

No, he doesn't state that at all. This is what Milo says, verbatim: "He is a person that some may call a researcher. I am one of those people. More predominantly than that, Graham Hancock is a writer."

> The root question should be “How did ancient civilians create these structures using the technology we believe they had at the time”.

That's an interesting question, but it's essentially an endless one: we will never, ever know how ancient civilizations created everything they created, because their secrets have been lost to time. Human history is so deep and the evidence so porous that we simply will never run out of questions to ask about how they did what they did. Furthermore, even when we come up with ways they might have created things, we may never, ever know whether that's really what they did, because the evidence is not there anymore. There are medieval and later items which we don't really know how were created, but we do know, for sure, that they didn't have power tools.

For instance, what was Greek fire, exactly? There are lots of good ideas, Wikipedia suggests "it may have been made by combining pine resin, naphtha, quicklime, calcium phosphide, sulfur, or niter." Will we ever know which? Maybe, but probably not.
We put way too much value on human life. If someone isn't interested in existing anymore that should be completely acceptible.

I'm not a real estate developer, and even I assumed OP was subdividing (and mentions that in another comment). Why would you assume otherwise? I also assumed that the zoning authority said, "nope, minimum 5 acre lot size", which is common. There is, after all, the possibility that someone actually knows what they're doing when they go before the zoning board.
They're even more likely to type the wrong thing, so this actually makes the problem worse
Sorry that this is a very basic question but I never had any of this in uni and I find it super exciting:

If I am trying to prove something I can state in my target language how would statement and proof differ?

If the thing to prove is not expressible in the target language (e.g. the fact that a function terminates) I would have to use a separate language anyway.

Could you give an example how this could hypothetically look like (preferably in pseudo Rust)?

Solution (2) as written seems to imply that the camera can only use the gyroscope signal while the camera is pointed at the subject, but I cannot see why that is a strong limitation.

In theory, you can take the last N seconds of data from the gyroscope (I assume it is running while the camera is active) to get the overall drift, even if it is tumbling around for a while before being pointed at the subject... Assuming the tumbling has enough periods of time that are correlated with the earth's rotation (e.g. someone carrying it, not pointing it an an aircraft or something moving EW for the window duration that is anticorrelated with the rotation).
Can you say more? I didn't find the pitch particularly compelling but also didn't see it as "yikes". Seemed like a regular productivity tool pitch what am I missing?

I mean yes, the ruling class was Macedonian for a while, but saying "Egyptians became Greeks" is broadly not true.
I have imagined all of those and still conclude that they need to be compared in order to weigh the pros and cons of making the decision.

If one makes such a decision without weighing the tradeoffs, they're being negligent.

If they refuse to make the decision, then they're choosing to never place abused children in foster care which is one of the options in the decision process, so they're still making a decision. There is no escape hatch.

I'd encourage you to do the same imaginative thought experiment for the kid who's in an abusive bio-family. Would it change how you decide?

Yes. There's the one that $employer built a POC app for and found did in fact save time. There's also github copilot which apparently a large chunk of people find saves time for them (and which $employer is reviewing to figure out if they can identify which people / job functions benefit precisely enough to pay for group licensing).
The stonemasons would not have been slaves (or if they were they were highly trusted servants who were too valuable to mistreat and thus may have been technically slaved by some definition but could do anything a free person could do). However there is a lot of brute labor that a slave could do.

Slaves were used for all sorts of things in history, with different areas having different uses. However the most common use would have been farming as 95% of the economy was farming.

I do not know if the people who built the pyramids were slaves or not. I can see how different people would define slave differently and as a result get a different answer. However it seems highly likely slaves would be been known and used for many things in that area/time.

I do like GNOME quite a bit, but with caveats.

The fact that you need extensions for something as simple as dock functionality is insane. The number of basic settings that have to be touched with gsettings because they don't have a GUI option is frustrating. The fact that all my extensions get broken for a month after every single release is downright infuriating. Some apps like the task monitor are so over-simplified as to be downright inferior to e.g. the KDE or MacOS task monitor in every way. The libadawaita theming changes are extremely annoying, as the DE apps don't obey the same theme as my other apps.

With that said, when it works, it's my favorite desktop experience. I'll try out COSMIC as a replacement eventually.
That reminds me of the various tug-of-war contests around the world where the contestants manage to snap impossibly thick ropes. E.g.

> The 1,600 participants exerted over 180,000 pounds of force on a 2-inch thick nylon rope designed to withstand only 57,000 pounds. Amidst cheers, the rope violently snapped; the sheer rebounding force tore off the left arm of the first man on each side. [1]

I think it looks great. Yes, Omni will probably eat your lunch. But one thing you might have going for you is on-boarding. Not everyone is going to be OK with signing up for OpenAI tools, so that might help.

The other suggestion I would make is to move away from solely a monthly subscription model, and allow for a Credits feature. That way people who only occasionally need parent support can just use their credits on the go.

Finally I would consider ways you can simplify the UI down to the bare bones. If you're really talking about technophobes, then anything distracting on the main screen is going to be a problem. Think the Google search box. Good luck!

Yes that’s right!

I think this is specifically a big part of the problem. Not everything needs to be planet scale to be good. People didn't focus on being planet scale 10 years ago. 20 or so years Mark was worried about getting The Facebook available at one or two schools.

Worrying about getting things working for the world has made it way harder for us to get things working for indoviduals or small groups.
> How does Google make money from a search engine that just answers people's questions directly

It did what it needed to do to realise the same thing and get their fingers in all the other pies.
Doesn't matter if the search results are shit, which they are. Not as bad as YouTube's search though, as the breakdown is 3 relevant results -> 12 irrelevant "people also watched" results -> then back to normal results. And that's assuming you have an extension installed to filter out everything related to Shorts.
My dad had some interesting-acid stories, when he was a young chemist. They both involve cleaning glassware. The era is around 1970.

One was something he said resembled a wok full of the usual suspects of strong acids. Overnight, the mixture was hygroscopic, so they'd start it heating up in the morning to dehydrate it and increase the concentration. To test if it was ready, they'd throw in a small piece of wood, about the size of a match. If it disintegrated on contact, it was ready. Then you could dip your glassware to clean it.

But, in another lab, they would use a small bottle of hydrofluoric acid at the bench, taking a layer off the glass at the same time. While the dangers of large exposures were well known, he did mention the nerve damage and it being highly annoying and painful if trace amounts got under your fingernails, a somewhat common injury of the lab that everyone simply tolerated.

He thought the latter was a more convenient arrangement.

> Netflix themselves say that 15Mbps is enough for 4k.

Aggressively compressed 4K, it's convenient for them to have convinced everyone that resolution is the one measure of video quality.

4K content on blu-ray UHD is H265 at 72, 92, 123, or 144 Mbps.

It would be a lot more data than Netflix will send you, but still doesn't saturate a fiber connection.

There's a lot of value in coming up with a clear problem statement and giving it to the right people. We see this with DARPA, at a much bigger scale.

The real problem with D3 is that, as a library, it doesn't really do visualizations. It gives you functions and exmaples to compose your own visualizations, whose key requirement is an expert-level understanding of JavaScript (particularly closures and functional programming). What mbostock says is the core "abstraction" of D3, the select and select diffing, is only an affordance for writing reentrant "paint()", with the flourish that your paint statements are expressed as builder statements, which themselves are scoped to select and can be broken up for various effects. Especially in animated examples, D3 does suprisingly little for you, as it's up to you to write the outer loop and track state over time. Nor does D3 give you any abstraction for encapsulating a visualization, as a function or otherwise. This is left as an exercise for the reader. All of this comes as a big surprise, or shock, to the new D3 user. It would be like adopting a new database and finding only a library for file IO and BTree indices and query optimizers, that you need to wire up yourself.
I installed Raycast recently and kind of like it, but haven’t really dug deep.

About 10-15 years ago, I was a religious user of an earlier take on this keyboard driven fuzzy search launcher/action thing: Quicksilver (https://qsapp.com/). The main difference between Quicksilver and other command-based programs like your traditional Unix shell is that Quicksilver is <object> <verb> instead of <verb> <object>. So you’d search for a file, hit tab, then fuzzy search for an action like “send to”, tab, search for contact and press enter to send.

It’s like a super-slick way of building a pipeline of actions that’s type aware.

I haven’t gone far enough with Raycast to understand if it works the same way, so far I’m just using it as a Spotlight replacement, where it feels just as fast / faster and slightly less annoying about suggesting “1 pascal” instead of 1Password.app when I type “1pa”.

It usually starts off with just content you're overtly interested in. Then, they'll sprinkle in random clips every so many scrolls to guard against overfitting the model and getting stale for the user. Some of those random clips are Outrage Porn designed to get a reaction out of you...

You scroll past, then scroll back because "wtf did I just see?" - and now you're in. The frequency starts to increase and pretty soon you're shouting at clouds feeling like you're the only one that realizes how crazy everything is...

It's hard to keep your feed "clean" and dialed into just things that bring you intellectual stimulation or enjoyment. It's not impossible, but it's quit difficult. You constantly have to realign your algorithm lest it goes off into the weeds.

There is an enormous conflict here. On the one hand a certain degree of mental illness means that you are legally incapable of making choices, while, on the other hand you obviously need to be mentally well enough to make an informed medical decision of such gravity.

How many people are so mentally ill that death is the only conceivable escape, but at the same time so mentally well that they can make an informed medical decision about the end of their life. Certainly I believe that number to be very low, potentially it might just be zero.

Yes, the pain scale is subjective, because, well, any attempt to communicate internal feelings and experiences is subjective (by definition). But subjective metrics are still useful as a way to try to achieve a shared understanding. "It hurts, but it doesn't hurt as much as other things I've felt before" is still informative, even if it's imperfect.

And the pain scale is useful when you are talking to someone who is not used to talking about their internal feelings -- some people aren't as expressive as others. And some people have less of a grasp on the language you are communicating in. I would expect if I were a doctor or nurse, I wouldn't want to base my standard of care on how capable my patient is of finding an appropriate adjective to describe how they feel.
A good design does not guarantee the absence of implementation bugs. But a good design can make introducing bugs harder / less probable. This must be the case, and then it's a case to study and maybe emulate.

You can't deduct depreciation on an owner-occupied house to begin with. The premise is that you're trying to distinguish between landlords and people who have a second home for themselves. But they can just rent it to a friend who in turn lets them use it.

If they're buying multiple homes to rent out at market rates to the general public then they're just an ordinary landlord -- the thing that wouldn't be paying a tax on "second homes" by design.
