GREAT QUESTIN!

My theory is that since LLMs (Large Language Models) are the ultimate generalists when it comes to knowledge, they "know" a decent amount about every single topic and concept known to the entire human race. I do not believe there is a single human alive today who possesses knowledge about so many different subjects. For example, a physicist may know 100 times more about physics and mathematics than an LLM, but the LLM probably knows a decent amount about 10,000 more disciplines (like plant biology) that the physicist has little to no understanding of.

I believe this multidisciplinary ability makes LLMs uniquely qualified to pick stocks based on the millions of variables that may impact stock prices.

For example, one of the most successful strategies I deployed was when I asked GPT-4 to come up with the attributes of a hypothetical "most investable stock on the NYSE and NASDAQ based on current market conditions." Once it generated the attributes, I used another instance of GPT-4 to find me a stock that matched these attributes. It came up with NVIDIA. The actual prompt I used was more detailed, but you get the idea.
Regardless of what you think of AI, there are multiple plausible existential risks to humanity that exist. Why you think that should be beyond consideration is beyond me, but people have all sorts of zany beliefs I don't understand
I just learned about grokking; reminds me of double descent, and I looked up a 2022 paper called "Unifying grokking and double descent". I'm still unclear on what the difference is. My basic understanding of double descent was that the regularization loss made the model focus on regularization after fitting the train data.
My kindergarten class had a practice that, now that you say that, might have been meant to help those letter-sound associations.

Besides routinely reciting the alphabet forward and backward (I didn't know being able to recite the alphabet backward was unusual until I was in high school!), we would also do a phonetic version that sounded something like, "A, ah. B, buh. C, kuh. D, duh. E, eh," making a sound for every letter.

I don't know if it helped the kids who didn't already know how to read, but those were some of the peak years for phonics instruction in primary schools, so I guess at least someone thought it was working!

Sesame Street also had this song where they would pronounce the whole alphabet as though it were one really long word, like, "Ab-keh-def-ghee-jeckel-menop-qwur-stu-vwix-is." That one always made me laugh, but I got good practice out of it!

I was mildly afraid that you were going to describe something that would make me go, "Wait--am I dyslexic?" but no, I don't experience spelling that way. Most words exist in my head in both written and spoken form inseparably. It's very rare that I mix up homophones when I'm writing, for example, because I'm not trying to put the sound of a word into letters or match letters to the sound if the word. The letters and the sounds are inextricably linked in each specific meaning unit.
The better solution along these lines is to give them a week to render a decision (with stated reasoning that can be immediately appealed) or the application is automatically approved. Then they can request more resources if they don't have enough to be thorough but what they can't do is delay rendering a decision.

I agree; wasm would be a better choice, as it's specifically designed for this use case. RISC-V is designed for hardware implementation, not to be an IR, which means that things are more verbose than they need to be. For example, accessing an arbitrary 64-bit address requires 6 instructions [1] in RISC-V, whereas in Wasm you can just do it. Even more important than ISA differences, though, is that with Wasm you get WASI, which saves you a whole lot of time creating a sandboxed system interface.

The circulatory system of a fetus undergoes many changes at the time of birth. For example, in a fetus, the left and right atria of the heart are connected (allowing blood to bypass the lungs, which are not yet in use). Upon birth, that "hole inside the heart" (the foramen ovale) normally closes, redirecting blood flow to the lungs for oxygenation.

For another example, look up the ductus arteriosus.

> For proof, look at any rural area and how their home prices have also been skyrocketing.

Yes, it is supply and demand. And zoning is the largest component of the supply function. If you fix zoning, you fix supply, approximately. Outdated fire code, etc. are also important factors.

> or cut down on demand

This is called degrowth and it's how you destroy an economy.

> Japan literally has homes they’re trying to give away.

I'm not sure what point you were trying to make by invoking Japan -- Japan notoriously solved their housing crisis by abolishing the regressive zoning practices at the time and made basically everything one big mixed use zone. The reason why Japan is giving away houses these days is because everyone moved to the cities because that's where the economic opportunity is. And that's where people who contribute to the economy want to be -- where the economic opportunity is.
I live in such a society. I replaced my ICE vehicle with electric 2 years ago. I'm not going back. They CAN be a replacement but not for everybody. This equivalent pumping rate thing is interesting but it doesn't really capture the whole thing. I don't have gasoline deliveries to my house. What about oil changes per year?
Pre-ordered! I noticed in the marketing photos that there was a keyboard, but it's not included in the pre-order bundle. Is there a recommended keyboard for the Daylight that's wireless?
Absolutely, instead of actually fixing the problem, let’s invent muskisms like creating underground highways by boring tunnels underneath cities or ferrying said cars across long distances with a train.

That’s the public infrastructure equivalent of technical debt.

A better solution imho is to create a plan for building train capacity where it makes sense (high traffic areas where trips are such and such - Boston-NYC-Philly-DC) and fund them through public-private contracts.
The entire point of Aeon is to write "longform explorations of deep issues". Not all--maybe not even most--content exists merely to transfer some tiny bit of information.

Ask HN: Good online communities to learn about Green / Sustainable Computing?
To learn more about and interact with like minded folks on the topic of Green and/or Sustainable computing, where does one go to online?

Some examples I found:

- Green Software Foundations' various project github repo discussion groups - https://wiki.greensoftware.foundation/governance/projects

- Cloud Native Computing Foundation Environmental Sustainability Workgroup's github discussion group - https://github.com/cncf/tag-env-sustainability

- Sustainable Living at Stackexchange - https://sustainability.stackexchange.com (the green computing related posts are more limited in numbers it seems)

More suggestions and opinions is most appreciated!
My guess is the opt out (versus opt in) nature of this could be the seed of a massive class action lawsuit should the right folks get involved :)
A touching essay, but to my mind, the bioethics of organ donation that have become law (in most Western countries) are the major culprit behind organ scarcity, treating economic realities of supply, demand, and risk as taboo.

I would 100% sign up for organ donation if it could either add a score bonus to me or my immediate family if we should ever find ourselves on the waiting list. Heck, I'd even donate blood or plasma more often too if they'd have some minor bumps.

But an ongoing customer would have newer emails that don’t get deleted over time.
I think this kind of sentiment is problematic. Ultimately, the people most qualified to tell you whether or not a given product will work for them are the potential users of that product. Most people these days have been exposed to EVs in some fashion, so it's not like they're an unknown quantity. If, at this point, people are telling you that the product doesn't work for them, that signal is probably real and needs to be addressed.

To put it another way, I'm not telling you an EV doesn't work for me because some online article told me what to think. I'm telling you that because I've investigated the options for myself, and come to a conclusion that, ultimately, only I am qualified to make.
Here is a good summary of that PDF

What Are Large Language Models (LLMs)?
In my experience for medium sized services it’s still better to have everything talk to the same authentication database.

Postgres has insanely good read performance. Most companies and services are never going to reach the scale where any of this matters, and developer time is usually the more precious resource.

My advice is always, don’t get your dev team bogged down supporting all this complicated JWT stuff (token revocation, blacklisting, refresh, etc) when you are not Facebook scale / don’t have concrete data showing your service really truly needs it.
LLMs have become a household name thanks to the role they have played in bringing generative AI to the forefront of the public interest, as well as the point on which organizations are focusing to adopt artificial intelligence across numerous business functions and use cases.
What works for me:

1. Take a shower & brush teeth twice a day. Have all clothes in a clear area that I can take with my eyes closed. All the hygiene stuff should be automatic.

2. Two lists - to do & schedule. I like weekly scheduling. I list everything I plan to do in the week and then drop them by day. Because I tend to put things off until 4 PM and then have a burst of energy to finish them. Some do better scheduling every hour of the day. To do is just a stack you dump into and pull from. Don't fill it out too long.

3. Finish stuff. 95% done stuff lingers on the mind and drains energy, when you should just push it to 100%.

4. Clean up everything for 15 min at the end of the day. Also clears the mind. No more than 15 min. Dump email, slack, etc into your To Do or Schedule. If I don't have time to clean up, it's an alarm bell saying I lost control.

5. Batch non-maker time and be present. We found out we were losing 2 days per week to interruptions and stuff, and these meetings and interruptions weren't useful because nobody paid attention. So we batched Monday and Wednesday as meeting days. Find the right tempo for your workflow - you might need 3 days, you might need a few hours. If you work hybrid, then office days are your non-maker times.

What I'd like to do: Build workouts into (1) as well.
Finally, really nice writeup and exploit, I didn't expect it to be an arbitrary read to RCE. This is definitely gonna change the fate of quite a few forgotten servers out there.

I'm not sure cache was the right word in the parent post-- you don't want to use a cache (at least one with LRU/bounded size) to store revocation without a backing store, or else the revocation could get pushed out of the cache and become ineffective. The backing store (likely a DB) would require such cleanups once the revocation record is no longer relevant.
I dunno man. You sound like a nice guy and all - but I don't think you can make hypothetical legal arguments. It needs to be rooted.

I don't see much merit in continuing our discussion. You take care now.
In a hydrogen fuel cell, you have stored hydrogen. Whenever you want electricity, you combine it with oxygen to produce water. You can also drive the fuel cell in reverse, using an external source of electricity to convert water into hydrogen (which is stored)+oxygen.

In the iron-air cell, they are adding another layer of the process on top of the above, to avoid storing hydrogen.

To store power in the cell, you use electricity to break down water into hydrogen+oxygen. The hydrogen is then immediately reacted with FeO/rust to create Iron+water. These two are easy to store.

To get power from the cell, you allow the iron to combine with water, i.e iron+water=Rust+Hydrogen. The hydrogen is then immediately used in the fuel cell to produce electricity.

Good article but just reinforces to me that we need organ printing technologies and anything else is just a stop gap. Maybe between articles like this and consuming a little too much body horror fiction, butchering a cadaver to put its organs in another is just unsettling to me even though I see it as good in the utilitarian sense. I continue to be an organ donor however.
Yeah that’s really weird. On the one hand, certain precision operations are already carried out by robots guided by surgeons on a computer screen, and experienced surgeons in certain domains can even oversee multiple robotic operations simultaneously.[1] On the other hand, unless you’re willing to put up with failed organ retrievals to save a little bit of money, I can’t imagine humans out of the loop any time soon.

We don't use JWTs because we think we're google scale, we use them because they're kinda cool. Cheap, stateless auth across services is really handy. If I rolled my own solution, it would just look like a shitty jwt.

There are definitely arguments to me made against ridiculous over-engineering, modern web dev has taken the problems of 1% of engineers and made them problems for 100% of engineers, but I think this is a bit of a silly one to focus on
> Privacy has been discussed

Discussion is a good start. That section of the paper states:

Although there are already various ways to improve security and privacy, IEEE 802.11bf is still discussing which solution to add.

Hopefully the scheduled 2025 launch of 802.11bf will be gated upon _implementation_ of security and privacy.

Not everyone is neurotypical.
Yeah, "consing" isn't such a big deal in Clojure because its philosophy revolves around "sequence abstraction," which is a significant improvement over the traditional approach. Lispers with a limited understanding of Clojure often criticize its departures from Common Lisp, such as using square brackets for function arguments, without grasping the reasons behind these choices. Once you understand Clojure's destructuring, you'll immediately appreciate the utility. Yet some people resist even hearing about contemporary techniques like modern irrigation methods and cloud seeding, and they'd rather stick with ancestral rain dance rituals simply because that worked for thousands of years.
Excited for the ability to animate display and intrinsic heights but:

"Traditionally, animating something into our out of the screen (as opposed to just hiding it visually) required JavaScript to remove the element from the page after waiting for the animation or transition to complete. No longer!"

Is simply untrue. I’ve been animating in/out of the screen with pure CSS transitions for a very long time. The trick is a simple one, use transition delays and combine with a combination of `position`, `z-index`, `visibility`, `opacity`, `max-width` and `max-height`. It is pretty simple:

Animate out:

```
max-height: 0;
max-width: 0;
visibility: hidden;
opacity: 0;
z-index: -1;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
transition: opacity 0.5s ease 0s, max-height 0s 0.5s, z-index 0s 0.5s, max-width 0s 0.5s, visibility 0s 0.5s, padding 0s 0.5s, margin 0s 0.5s;
```

Animate in:

```
max-width: 100%;
max-height: 100%;
visibility: visible;
opacity: 1;
z-index: 1;
padding: 20px;
margin-top: 20px;
transition: opacity 0.5s ease 0.1s, max-height 0s 0s, z-index 0s 0s, max-width 0s 0s, visibility 0s 0s, padding 0s 0s, margin 0s 0s;
```

The principle is a simple one: You simply delay the properties which can't be animated until after the ones which can have finished running ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Here's a pen if it helps anyone: https://codepen.io/PaulSinghDev/pen/zYQodoq?editors=1111

Granted this could be considered hiding visually but max-width: 0, max-height: 0, visibility: hidden is essentially display: none

I would do it on a straight marketplace. As it is, I'm not sitting around giving up my bodily parts so that an organ procurement organization, a hospital, and a transplant surgeon are going to make a lot of money on. All of them have one thing to say to people who need organs: "pay me". So I'll join the line. If you want my organs "pay me".

NOTA ruined the ability for an organ marketplace and created the resulting shortage. A lot of people have a visceral dislike for the idea of this stuff. They rationalize this with arguments that are easily rebuked.

I found budgeting really unproductive and ended up costing more money ("I need to use up my gaming budget! I need a big enough monthly budget to cover the next sale!").

Taking from systems design, monitor stocks, not flows. Make several bank accounts (digital banks are good for this), watch how much money is in those accounts, and whether they're going up and down. It's more suited for the human brain. If the numbers are moving in an unexpected way, then you can check each one.
A lot of good things in life and probably civilisation itself, are based on some people NOT doing well.

America could never appear if not the slavery (even that the slavery never became dominant in the North, was a bug, not a feature: original plan was to enslave Native Americans - until they were found out to be lousy workers, but very good fighters). Europe could never become what it is, without serfs and then colonial slaves.

You can't have one without the other. For us to have nice things, most people must not have a nice life.
