Here is a simple way to think about it. The markets follow random walk and there is a 50/50 chance of being right or wrong. If you can make more when you are right, and lose less when you are wrong, you are on your way to being profitable.
One of the differences is that the V-2 was built via slave labor in a massive cave where people were literally worked to death.

I agree with this. Advertising as in "being findable" is helpful, advertising as in "shoving things down everyone's throat to make them buy things they didn't know they needed" is unsustainable, intrusive and unnecessarily overwhelming.
> Yeah I think you’ve veered into sci-fi story territory here and far from a realistic vision of the future. Which is really the issue with all of these absurd AI predictions.

Much as I would agree that quoting a Marvel film is not a useful thing… the same quote exists for real-world examples like playing Go, or the game of Diplomacy.

> Life continues on mostly as normal.

The one single thing I'm confident of, is that "normal" will mean something completely different.

I have only the vaguest beliefs about what that difference might look like, but the status quo absolutely isn't stable.

Even the mere existence of the web upon which social media runs, is a thing which I lived through, a thing where I remember the before times; a time with film stars sure, but no online influencers. It wasn't a magic time without issues (there were, and remain, many problems with everything), but today would be considered a wild sci-fi fantasy compared to when I left secondary school, what with us all carrying GPS trackers because they were too cheap to not include in the phones we use to make too-cheap-to-meter video calls, which we use to share clips of cats being silly or how nice our lunch seems.

There was no single moment in my life where I thought "this changes everything", but all those small changes added up and we don't live in the 1990s (or 80s) any more. The home computer went from a Commodore 64 playing Jet Set Willy to a Performa 5200 playing Marathon 2 and giving me a dial-up modem, but the games were still just games and the 56k modem struggled with everything and only connected at 8-10 kbit/s; I went to university and got a direct ethernet connection to the UK academic backbone and VOIP reached the consumer market but I had nobody to call; I eventually got a mobile, first a Nokia 6210 then some random colour screen feature phone then a Nexus 5 etc., but none of the individual transitions or upgrades really felt worthwhile, they were forced by the hardware breaking, and yet my iPhone SE 3 is clearly more capable and can enable things that were simply not possible on the 6210.
I mailed the authors a few months ago and indeed, it lives there but is independent-ish. They don't consider it ready to use for anything else other than experiments, though.
Grant applications are primarily judged on the perceived strength of the research plan. The reviewers work in the same field as the applicant and are expected to judge the proposal on its merits. Citation count is therefore already not a major factor in whether a grant is awarded or not, at least in engineering.

Citation counts are considered by promotion committees though. In this case, committee members are often from different fields and have less ability to judge the quality of the applicants' work for themselves.

None of the above matters in this particular case though—the problem is that Corchado was the only candidate on the ballot: "… taking advantage of the strange surprise resignation of the previous rector, and presenting himself as the only candidate. He received the support of 6.5% of the 33,000 university members who were called to vote, with half of the faculty voting blank as a sign of protest. "
Presumably this is shorthand for ‘The message is no longer stored in the system’
Hi, this was such a delightful post to read. Im currently a comp sci college student and I had no clue there was even an event called pycon lol. But reading your blog makes me think it was so much fun. Quick question, is there a criteria to attend the event such as part of a specific company or organization? Or is it for anyone who uses python?

> A lot of technologists would, I think, have a much larger impact if they concerned themselves with finding political power instead.

The problem is rather that many great programmers are "insanely bad politicians".

Programming is about working hard against all the resistance to do "the right thing", wheras politics is about "reading the room", not antagonizing important people, making phoney compromises, corrupting yourself, ...

So such programmers will hardly ever get the political power to change anything.
Which are technical aspects of a fundamentally social problem. It's not the market platform itself that dodged the government - it's the people on the market.

They're not necessarily good for advice, but you need a decent amount of business knowledge to run even a small business, and LLMs can help with all the noob questions you'll have if you're starting a company and never went to business school.

"What's the difference between amortization and depreciation?" types of things. You could Google them, but you have to waste time skimming through a couple blogspam articles, but LLMs can explain the concept in an easy to digest way much faster.

Sorry I could write it more clear I suppose; I meant 4 hour daily work 6 days almost has the same productivity (if not more) as 8 hour daily work for 4 days.

If you consider time for lunch and productivity decline in long working hours; having usable free time everyday without spending all your mental energy has huge benefits.
It kind of depends on how prestigious and competitive the field is.

There are plenty of fields that are "boring" and "unattractive", where work and community is very chill and by-the-numbers.

On the other hand you have very hot and competitive fields, that will attract a certain kind of people.

And plenty of toxic / abrasive scientists get to reign free, if it just happens that they're producing the desired results.
> Yes, they're much more _capable_, but usually even less responsive than e.g. in Windows 95 days

Hard disagree: all applications back then needed splash screens to reassure the user something was happening while the application was loading components on into RAM. Today, most applications load within seconds.

I booted an old computer from 2009 just the other day, and everything felt sluggish from boot to launching applications.
Note that 2017 is some time ago and predates e.g. the 3rd gen much improved "SonicBOOM" version.
Most of today's world furniture comes from -----. Most of the problems in the furniture market today deal with a trend that middle class try to imitate the rich interior design look and feel. The uneducated consumer is surrounded by a market ----- created demand for which is furniture knockoffs of fashion furniture brands that you see in Interior Design Magazines.

The furniture is built with poor materials, and dangerous chemicals treating finishes and frame construction. Almost all faux finishes (veneer, marble, concrete, leather, stone etc...) is made with really bad ingredients to give it the overall look and feel to the real texture they are trying to imitate.

The fashion brand furniture keeps evolving as a fashion brand should even when it comes to furniture. Therefore, furniture is a trend market, where people can afford it. Where people can not afford it, they fill their space with the knockoff furniture, realize it is not good quality, accumulate enough money to repeat the cycle with another poorly manufactured replacement. This is what is driving most of the demand today to keep churning out low price-point furniture for the newly emerging middle working class of today's world that do not understand what really goes on behind the scenes of how their furniture gets made, or maybe they don't care.

The other furniture market is for people who, as others commented, leave furniture pieces to their children. Those groups do not care about fashion, as with people that just need clothes to walk around not caring about the brand that they are advertising.

There is still good affordable furniture out there. Hand-built with care and precision as a Rolls-Royce car would be in the factory, mostly small companies in Italy and other parts of the world still to this day make great long-lasting pieces. The locality of the furniture manufacturer matters on the price significantly. Shipping logistics for furniture is a nightmare.
In an era where the exchange of visual data is constant and pervasive, protecting individuals' identities within images has become more critical than ever. Image anonymization, the process of obscuring identifiable features to safeguard privacy, is now a vital tool across various fields such as research, surveillance, and social media. This blog post delves into the importance of image anonymization, its role in protecting privacy rights, and reviews top solutions for different use cases. Whether you're in healthcare, law enforcement, or any industry that depends on visual data, understanding and applying the correct anonymization techniques is crucial for maintaining trust and adhering to data protection regulations.
One large motivation for looking at citations is as a proxy for the importance or value of your claims. More productive research claims will beget more productive research, whereas trivial or dead end or uninteresting claims will just float off into the archival void. So if you want to exclude citations you need another way to measure importance quickly and impersonally across entire fields in more or less real time.
I designed these a while back to 3D-print cable housings for pin headers. Also made one for cheap pogo pins: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/30e7754831a9aa479c6cd5ac/w...

For one-off things, since they (right now) require glue, and it's fiddly. But I like being able to churn out any number of pins quickly. Adding keys that stick out and attach to holes in the PCB, like the other examples mentioned in other comments, sounds nice.

Related to the article: There's also the possibility of using DIP sockets with flexible legs (not the lathed ones). By bending them in an S, you get a spring loaded contact. I made a housing for it, to be used as a non-intrusive snooper on DIP EEPROMs.
Indeed, and just in population terms the scale isn't even comparable anymore.

Consider the 1920s, 1930s etc when academia produced famous luminaries like e.g. Bertrand Russell or Tolkien or Wittgenstein or Gödel or Whitehead or Heidegger or etc. etc. etc. The population of the world was 1/4 of what it is now -- but even more so the world of academia was closed to probably 99% of that world population ... if you lived outside Europe or North America ... forget it. If you were a woman? Nope. Not from a northern European ethnic background? Not upper class? Also forget it.

So in reality the pool of possible candidates was very small who could rise up through this "meritocracy." It was a very defined small fish tank. Easy to look into the tank and see the biggest fishes.

FYI, the organization by "monthly" price, which assumes like contacts for two eyes worn daily, was initially quite confusing for me. I wear a contact in only one eye and I don't wear it in that eye every day, so the monthly price is totally irrelevant to me - I purchase contacts on a per-unit basis. You do list that, but it's smaller and deprioritized.

Ok. What I meant to convey, is that I (personally) don't believe the exploitation part was necessary in the (undeniable) uplifting of the average Chinese. And that a lot of Chinese workers are still alienated, putting upwards of 12 hours a day on soul-crushing jobs.

I believe there are more effective ways of lifting populations out of poverty.

Isn’t there a current lawsuit looking to change the absurd practice of commissions for house sales as they currently stand?
Haven’t read through it in enough detail yet to fully understand the language changes, but the authors are absolutely correct on some basic background that other folks don’t always understand:

> Memory-safe languages are predicated on a basic observation of human nature: people would rather try something, and only then ask for help if it doesn't work. For programming, this means developers try to use a library, and only then read the docs if they can't get it to work. This has proven very dangerous, since appearing to work is not the same as working.

Understanding how/where the humans were recruited is probably important info to many potential users, for language and cultural reasons.

I bought a sofa from a local builder a few years ago for around $2500. The frame is well built but the cushions lost their original shape within 6 months. All told, I'd rather have the sturdy sofa that looks a bit sloppy over a sofa that will break if more than three friends sit on it but I'd really rather have a sturdy one that still looks great after five years.

Maybe next time.
There are lots of things we can’t practically enforce but still make sense to uphold as norms.

- Don’t post ChatGPT responses as if you wrote them.
- Don’t post ChatGPT “opinions” even labeled as such.
Again, not what this law is about. This is all about wanting to gather signal intelligence on millions of people automatically. About being flagged when someone uploads CSAM or uses certain keywords. They know it won't stop anyone with the skills and means to use some other encrypted solution.

The reason to fine tune is to get a model that performs well on a specific task. It could lose 90 percent of it's knowledge and beat the unturned model at the narrow task at hand. That's the point, no?
> Tips get pooled

This is a generalization that isn’t universally true. I’ve known so many restaurants where the servers keep their tips. The whole point of this thread was that the means of application are inconsistent and arbitrary.
> That’s a very strong hint OOP does not solve any problems better than alternatives.

It also requires more conceptually out of developers. I cannot count the amount of times I was on a team with developers that when implementing an interface never created a method that wasn’t one of the publicly required ones (ie no helper methods).
It’s text (word) manipulation based on probalistic rules derived from analyzing human-produced text. And everyone knows language is imperfect. That’s why we have introduced logic and formalism so that we can reliably transmit knowledge.

That’s why LLMs are good at translating and spellchecking. We’ve been describing the same world and almost all texts respect grammar. That’s the first things that surface. But you can extract the same rules in other way and create a program that does it without the waste of computing power.

If we describe computing as solving problems, then it’s not computing because if your solution was not part of the training data, you won’t solve anything. If we describe computing as symbol manipulation, then it’s not doing a good job because the rules changes with every model and they are probabilistic. No way to get a reliable answer. It’s divination without the divine (no hint from an omniscient entity).
"Flourished" in the context having the background extinction rate 2-3 orders above the normal is a bit overoptimistic if not intentionally misleading. Yes, we have far more cows that there were ever been, or far more units of a narrow set of crops than ever.

But that is not a full system, in particular, a sustainable one. And the signals that things are decaying fast, at least for what matters for our civilization, are all around. And they are not just about climate or the natural world.

Why is the retrieval part overrated? There isnt even a single way to retrieve. It could be a simple keyword sesrch, a vector sesrch, a combo, or just simply retrieving a single doc and stuffing it in the context
It’ll be nice when the AI hype settles down a bit, so many of these “re-invent the wheel, with more AI sprinkles” projects popping up.

So many existing DBs can already do vector search, do we really need one dedicated to just that?
In some level they care. Everyone wants the press to write about them "X funded research cures Alzheimer". But the feedback cycles for that are long. In the short term a fraud provides at least as much good press as a genuinely great researcher, probably more. It's hard to try some new metric if it might take two decades to show that it lead to better long-term outcomes
Somehow I didn't realize that the FOSS world had a way to signal light/dark mode to applications (apparently, xsettings). So this turns out to be immediately practical even though I'm not on OpenBSD at the moment:)
I’d find it useful to be able to see eg a wider range of salaries or languages. My job search is a fairly flexible, so I want wide filter parameters.
Thanks for the feedback! I've actually been a bit on the fence about how to show the prices. I show the monthly price because I thought it would be the easiest way to compare across package sizes, and for people to compare against their current subscription price.

I actually had a very first version where I showed the price "per lens". Would that have made it less confusing for you at first glance?
I've watched that video and seen it quoted a fair number of times, but I don't see how it jives with the reality of tax collection and spending - at least in my area of residence (ATL). I'd love some hard data on how the city is subsidizing the suburbs.

Instead, the recent trend has been that wealthy areas near downtown (e.g. Buckhead) have been trying to incorporate so that they're no longer subsidizing the rest of the city.
You should probably look into the supplements I’m referring to before launching into a diatribe.
The only other comment here at this point is "Not worth a read.": is reading itself worth it? Is being human worth it?

It's long, it's philosophical. It's not something I'd normally read specifically with the objective of enabling commenting intelligently on HN. Rather it's something I'd read, knowing others had read it, to share our thoughts over beers in a setting quiet enough and free from distractions that we could hear ourselves think; or maybe during a long walk in the woods.

If the title is misleading it is only because it itself is so short and the piece is so long.
Stanford and Harvard just had incidents where their own top researchers got caught doing academic dishonesty of the highest order. The ivy leagues are not doing citation cartels particularly less than tier two or tier three schools.
Not sure about sofas but when I bought a bed and some bookcases and nightstands last year all from national retailers, the lead time was 4-12 weeks depending on the product. Getting a custom sofa in 2-4 weeks would beat the competition in many cases. Again, the market constraint lies in knowing about the small vendor in the first place and having a way to purchase it conveniently.
I just fixed the castling bug. Thanks a lot for letting me know.

When I was younger, around when Unqualified Reservations was being written and coining the term, I was pretty incensed at the Deep State. Around 2020, I became quite thankful for it. Some of it is certainly due to getting older and more conservative. But also as frustrating as bureaucracy is, it's still drastically better than autocracy. We take that for granted at our peril.
Wait until you see how many districts for even important positions like state representative have candidates who run unopposed. You too could become a state representative if you moved to bum fuck nowhere and learned how to talk to boomers.
