As the OP specifically and explicitly says, back-references are definitively NP-complete. The OP even links to a proof[1]. If you found a way to implement them in worst case linear time, then I believe you would have discovered a constructive proof for p=np.

Look-around is a different story, but I don't believe you can still guarantee linear time.

Is this all under one meter, or does she have multiple meters?

You need to figure out how much is usage based, and how much is fixed fees. If she has multiple meters and some of the fees are per meter, it may be worth considering rearranging so there's fewer meters, although that may not be the best for future use.

My house on 9 acres has 3 meters. One for the house, one for the well, and one for an outbuilding that was built before the house and used to be a woodshop. This arrangement would be handy if we subdivided and shared the well, or rented the shop to someone. Otoh, it's not very handy because the house is on a automatic generator and when utility power goes out, we have no water.
Sure, but that’s not what was happening.
I suppose you live in a bubble where "script" is almost all code ever written.
Here's a definition of "script" that shows how out-of-touch your definition is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scripting_language

"... a script is a relatively short and simple set of instructions that typically automate an otherwise manual process."

You keep talking about "system" as if there was also a clear definition for that in software, which makes me think you're not even a software engineer at all, are you?

> Obviously words can mean anything

No, that's your mistake. Words can't mean what you choose they to mean! Do you know the old meme "Stop trying to make fetch happen!"?? So, "system" wont' happen!

I guess that you're talking about embedded development??? Where Exceptions are not used because they're a bit too costly (and because they're written in C which has an incredibly primitive error handling, it doesn't use Result types anywhere), NOT because they make software unreliable. You may disagree with that, but for goodness sake stop with your condescending tone pretending that you know something you clearly don't and work on "systems" which we, mere mortals (despite you having zero idea what kind of "systems" I work on), have no idea about.
And miraculously base html/css already solved that. There’s a reason desktop UI don’t work on small screens and that’s the same reason you don’t do magazine layout on small books. Html is reflowable because that’s the only way it can work across different screen sizes. But designers like to think their canvas sizes is the norm and do layouts that shouldn’t be done.

Unclear what exactly you're asking here. The critical point is that lawmakers must not be tasked with doing their own research manually. It's not biologically possible for a person to become an expert on every topic, and even experts disagree. A real improvement would be a better framework for soliciting expert opinions to avoid bias/corruption, but I don't know exactly what that would look like.

How is the Chinese government's control over TikTok content any more "direct" than the US government's control over Facebook content?
Seems like a great way to build extremism.

But we're in this universe.

Based on the number of years it took to develop the game, it wouldn't be considered one that achieved "15 minutes of fame". 100 reviews is quite a far cry from your example of Balatro with 33k. I'm not sure where you plan to draw the line on "success", but I think this is a broadly reasonable contrast.

"the researchers built a simulation of a real social network"

I just find this to be such a large detail that it's hard to gloss over. What are the assumptions of this model in the simulation? How accurate is the model? How did you evaluate that accuracy? How sensitive are the results to the model's parameters?
Sure you can reason over a fixed "base set of logic", although there's another word for that - an expert system with a fixed set of rules, which IMO is really the right way to view an LLM.

Still, what current LLMs are doing with their fixed rules is only a very limited form of reasoning since they just use a fixed N-steps of rule application to generate each word. People are looking to techniques such "group of experts" prompting to improve reasoning - step-wise generate multiple responses then evaluate them and proceed to next step.

A single fiber has enough bandwidth for complete nations; you aren’t going to run out of bandwidth anytime soon.

How you share bandwidth between parties depends on the setup. More often than not the end user only has one service provider at a time, thus there is neither any sharing or contention.
> If you put off all updating doesn't that lead to a lot of technical debt down the road?

It depends on what you interpret as being technical debt.

For example, are you piling up technical debt if you skip a patch update to the typescript compiler? What about Jester? What if you skip a point release of React? Are you piling up technical debt if you are not on the bleeding edge?

In case this counts as technical debt, what's the productivity hit of staying on that treadmill? Are you actually gaining anything by systematically be on the latest and greatest?

> For us, keeping up to date incrementally helps prevent that maintenance work from building up.

In my experience with modern frontend frameworks, the vast majority of these incremental changes do not add any significant value and in fact amount to wasteful noise. Some patch releases introduce regressions that are ironed out in following releases, and automatically applying these updates only buys you problems.

Also, it's very hard to justify having to refresh your whole dependency tree at each commit, or risk experiencing problems because switching local development branches causes dependency issues. Installing dependendencies should be a rare occurrence.

I can't overstate the importance thay pinning all dependencies and lowering the frequency of how these dependencies are updated has on a team's development workflow. No one will get hurt if you upgrade Jest or TypeScript on a monthly basis instead of at each commit.
There are two outputs, two inputs, and three edges. The answer might not be obvious, but it's not a UI problem.
We're blood brothers my friend. Never again on Asus (though I do have a traitorous exception for mother boards, though I'm trying to change). I also refuse HP stuff for the same reason. Could be so good, but brittle easily broken parts end up wiping out all the quality stuff.

Definitely take a look at Framework laptops (https://frame.work). Unless they lose their way, I don't plan to buy anything else. I've also had great luck with Lenovo T* line (my T580 was one of my favorites of all time). Dell makes some gorgeous stuff as well (though I go with the business line of XPS, I forget what they're called at the moment, maybe Precision?). If you're going with Dell, Ubuntu or a derivative works a little better. I've had friction in the past with Fedora and Arch on Dell because it takes 6 to 9 months for all the drivers to make it upstream to the kernel, so if the model is new within 6 to 9 months you're stuck relying on Dell's build.

Its rarely the case that speaking without considering other people's feelings will be the optimal method of getting what you want, even if you are a sociopath and what you want doesn't have anything to do with other people's well beings. In fact, sociopaths are a great example: they are typically quite adept at communicating in such a way as to ingratiate themselves with others. If even a sociopath gets this, then you might want to consider the wisdom of following suit.
Except that’ll just be a fluke.

The next thing isn’t a never-ending list of AI generated games stored somewhere that we’ll have to sift through somehow.

The next big thing will be ephemeral games, created on the fly based on the context and the preferences expressed, both explicitly and implicitly, by the player’s (or players’) past behaviour (and, for multiplayer games, that of their social graph).

That and perhaps, if we manage to preserve it and keep it alive, an industry of hand-crafted games made by people trying to beat the odds.
Barbara Kingsolver - Demon Copperhead. It took me a while before it clicked that the book's title was meant to rhyme with David Copperfield. It's really well written coming-of-age story of a life lived under modern-day poverty. It's well written with clever and subtle phrases and a really good pace. The book stays with you a while after you've finished it (which in my case was fast as I couldn't stop reading). Afterwards I got to reading more about opiods and their nasty origins.
FWIW, Hacker News doesn't pretend to be a general-information forum, and I think they're well within their rights (practically and morally) to shape conversation to meet the goals of the space.

The vanguard (UK) control panel is a hot mess too. I don't find it intuitive at all. I never know where to find important information.
Yeah, but can compilers actually do the necessary magic when encountering something like:

x = ((y & (1<<101)|(1<<102)) >> 10);

My impression was always that the vector extensions are good for SIMD operations, but not "wide integer" operations, but I might be wrong of course (e.g. is bit-shifting across "lanes" even possible?)
neural probing has been around for a while, true - and this result is definitely building on past results. it’s basically just a scaled up version of their paper from a little while ago anywho

but Karpathy was looking at very simple LSTMs of 1-3 layers, looking at individual nodes/cells, and these results have generally thus far been difficult to replicate among large scale transformers. Karpathy also doesn’t provide a recipe for doing this in his paper, which makes me think he was just guess and checking various cells. The representations discovered are very simple
For anyone who has read the paper, have they provided code examples or enough detail to recreate this with, say, Llama 3?

While they're concerned with safety, I'm much more interested in this as a tool for controllability. Maybe we can finally get rid of the woke customer service tone, and get AI to be more eclectic and informative, and less watered down in its responses.
I can’t follow this at all
It's the definition of a mixed economy (mixing socialism and capitalism), aka the basis of modern liberalism: an slowly but always expanding top down control of the market, while the rest of the market is generally free.

Seriously though, nearly everything we use today is made with some plastic. Banning short lifecycle plastic would be extremely disruptive to life in general. Like many things, a better product needs to be made to dethrone plastic. It's really hard to beat the combination of cheap, moldable, light, and durable.
Agreed. I see a lot of people upset at Apple coming up short on many basic things, but I was a Windows user for decades and found that to increasingly be the case with Windows as well. I wonder if people simply have higher expectations from Apple because of its "polished" presentation. Windows is known to be less polished but (used to) be more easily customizable and less of a walled garden (imo all that's changing now so there's really no reason to use Windows any more). People are cool with Windows being less polished because its understood that you're supposed to make it your own.

After ClassicStartMenu and a number of other important utilities being flagged by Windows Defender or simply not working anymore and after start bar advertisements and un-overrideable keyboard shortcuts to open the Windows Store I didn't see what Windows had left to offer besides legacy compatibility
In comparison to what? Making a chroot env for such a project is way harder than dockerizing it. VirtualBox and Vagrant might not be much harder, but are slower to the point of being irritating. I might be missing some alternatives, but among the approaches I tested, Docker is still the easiest way to build and run unfamiliar projects.

These taxes reach far below the 90th percentile line here.

Also, money is not worth the same amount here as it is in other states. You may as well be comparing British Pounds and US Dollars without applying an exchange rate (except that the gap between the dollar and pound is currently smaller than the gap between US dollar in California, and, say, Arizona).

Elon Musk vs. Mainstream Media
He just, to his credit, understands his public persona has to be the non-douchy-tech-bro and the media will eat it up. Much like a politician. He doesn't want to be like Elon or Travis K in public (though he probably agrees with them more than his public persona would imply).

I feel weird reading this thread because I use a Mac all day, every day, and I have never noticed this problem. I honestly had no idea that this was a big frustration for people, and when I saw this thread I thought "why would I need to prevent Apple Music from opening?"

I can't remember ever being annoyed by the "play" button opening Apple Music - the worst it might do is start playing the YouTube video in an open browser tab when I wanted it to play Spotify (it depends on which app i most recently alt-tabbed from), but that's only a minor annoyance.

Am I the weird one? My system rarely starts up because I rarely turn it off; why bother? (`uptime` reports that the last time I restarted the computer was 79 days ago.) And I pretty much always have Spotify or YouTube (the two main places I open in the background, so Macos doesn't need to open a new app to start playing.

What am I doing right?

Could be.

But that's why I put any value at all into what Yudkowsky has to say, even though LeCun correctly says that talking about this stuff today is like talking about large scale aviation safety in the 1920s:

Yudkowsky is talking about universal incentives that don't rely on any particular paradigm.

Metaphorically, he's talking about climate change and LeCun is saying we can't predict the weather a month from now — in both the metaphor and AI these are true satements, so you can see why it's convincing to a lot of people, but it's actually a claim about a different thing.

(Yudkowsky may also just be wrong; the metaphor reminds me like many of the climate scientists a century ago who thought it would be a slow transition and an improvement, though obviously I hope he's making the opposite mistake on both counts given how pessimistic he is).
Ok, but dot products and Fourier transforms are both linear operations. Maxwell's equations are linear (light also obeys them).

Neural nets, on the other hand, generally require nonlinear operations. As do most computer programs.

So the explanation here is either not complete, or perhaps applies to a very restricted type of neural network only.

I think a lot of these bad excel sheets are created by Crystal Reports or some similar product. Often, I want to download data and just use it, but the only options are the PDF or the excel sheet, which has been formatted to look like the PDF. They frequently concatenate things together that would be better as individual fields, merge columns together in various ways, organize things in pretty but not columnar layouts. Frustrating, just give me the machine-readable version.
It doesn’t just look like Elixir’s docs, Erlang has adopted ExDoc, Elixir’s documentation system.

I prefer to think that responsive design is still in its relative infancy and as an industry we simply have not completed the shift in mindset that is necessary. When we work stakeholders who are not technical it's clear that they're 1,000 miles away from the mindset, and the average designer is still somewhere from 10-999 miles away. Fluid design is a big step forward and while we still don't have anything near a bible these are some example principles:

* Size elements relative to the size of the viewport, some things should be smaller on little viewports, some things should be a little bigger, the CSS units for this are still just coming together. Use formulas and percentages, not pixels.

* Think about the correct layout direction for everything on a portrait vs landscape orientation, should those items be in a row or a column? This often requires only one CSS property to change

* Hide information density behind an accordion or modal if you need to on small viewports, don't just remove the functionality for all versions of the application. When people strip away functionality, I find design is rarely the true justification -- more commonly they no longer want to pay the maintenance cost of the feature and are using a redesign as an excuse.
But is it a person who is abrasive and insubstantial, or is a comment? I have certainly been both those things many times, but I'm not like that all the time. (Haha, though some would disagree.) The trouble is, you can't "ban" a comment, since it is a one-off, but you can ban the person making it, and the level of effort needed to clean up comments instead of commenters is many orders of magnitude.
Your last statement seems like it's circular.

I think it better framing is that to solve poverty you need to reduce the difference in value creation, which is no easy task. Governments and societies have been trying to maximize value creation for centuries, so there are no easy fixes and deeply entrenched institutions.

Social engineers have tried many options to increase the value creation by the forest members of society, but most of them have very little impact and questionable Roi.

Marx proposed reducing the differences in individual value creation bye prohibiting individuals from participating in capital investment. This came with a large reduction and overall productivity and other unintended consequences.

Personally, I think that any effective measures will have to Target education and employability for people with lowest economic standing. However, I don't think our current educational institutions and systems are up for the task. I think something along the lines of rigorous boarding schools or occupational programs could have a big impact, but I don't think the political support for such programs currently exists.
