The total tolerance is not +/- 2x, because the denominator of the calculation also increases. You can add as many 5% resistors in series as you want and the worst case tolerance will remain 5%. (Though the likely result will improve due to errors canceling.)

For example, say you're adding two 10k resistors in series to get 20k, and both are in fact 5% over, so 10,500 each. The sum is then 21000, which is 5% over 20k.
Yup. "an act of collective imagination" describes it pretty well.

There are only two high performance consoles on the market, and AMD happens to make both the chips. I guess you could say they are the "market leader", but that is in part because there are so few consoles out there.

Nvidia or Intel could certainly make a console focused SoC at least as performant as AMD.

Going by the article, I guess that would be because the applicants don't have the skills that are in demand. The top one being "Business AI skills (i.e. prompt engineers, low/no code developers, business analysts)". Much fewer respondents cited a gap in "Software development skills", which I guess is what most applicants here have.

I have a suspicion that this technique will prove most valuable for market oriented data sets (like price related time series), where there isn't necessarily that much massive data scale compared to text corpora, and where there are very tight limits on the amount of training data because you only want to include recent data to reduce the chances of market regime changes. This approach seems to shine when you don't quite have enough training data to completely map out the general case, but if you train for long enough naively, you can get lucky and fall into it.
You think the difficult part is merging observations with the last forecast? I guess it's a very underdetermined problem, but isn't the loss function (compare the forecast grid with later observations) the same whether you're doing grid_t0 -> grid_t1 or (observations, grid_t0) -> grid'_t0 -> grid_t1? I don't know enough about ML to know how much complexity the extra step adds, but doesn't seem like a massive difference.

“While [Langston] Hughes was working at the Wardman Park Hotel in Washington, D.C., he saw poet Vachel Lindsay dining in the restaurant. Hughes slipped three poems under Lindsay’s plate, including his now-famous “The Weary Blues.” Impressed, Lindsay called for the busboy and asked who wrote the poems, and Hughes responded that he did. Lindsay read Hughes’s poems at a public performance that night and introduced him to publishers. The next day, a local newspaper ran an article about the “Negro busboy poet,” and reporters and diners flocked to meet him. The next year, Hughes published his first book of poetry, The Weary Blues.”
By adding additional degrees of freedom in the transmission through 'analog modulation' you increase the transmission rate. This is certainly possible, for example FM is more robust than AM, but at the expense of bandwidth. In the presence of a thermal (Gaussian) limited noise model, the Shannon capacity always applies regardless of the modulation.
Iterating either of

f(x) = 3/(1/x + 1/110 + 1/90)

g(x) = 1/(1/(3x) + 1/(3110) + 1/(3*90))

Seems to show that 100 is a stable attractor.

So I will postulate without much evidence that if you link N^2 resistors with average resistance h in a way that would theoretically give you a resistor with resistance h you get an error that is O(1/N)

The ideal creator is someone who understands comics storytelling, but lacks the time or drawing skills. So either a writer or artist can do. In general, we see artists with prior drawing skills use it better because they understand good character acting, emotions and cinematography, etc.
Because monopoly means "wields monopoly power and engages in anticompetitive behavior that harms consumers." Having competition or not, having large market share or not doesn't matter one bit.

One of ways of wielding monopoly power is no longer being a price taker and being able to set prices at in practice to whatever you want.
Making an argument for what's practical and what's ethical are two different things. My comment was about the latter. Yours appears to be about the former.

Ransomware victims have sometimes found it practical to pay the ransom. They're still victims of extortion.
A couple years ago we did a project for a division of Kurt (the vise guys) and they gave me a tour of their contract manufacturing floor.

1. You can mount devices on each other so you can copy/backup as you wish.

2. Not sure, but you can setup scripts and run them. I only tried running scripts on my PC via my phone.

3. You can send the clipboard to another device.

4. Not sure what this means.

5. Not sure.

6. Yes.
This is ridiculously easy to do inside scripting languages like javascript

function foo(token: string) {}

function bar(token: string) {}

function baz(token: string) {}

// hmm, this is annoying

let token;

.get((req) => { token = req.data.headers.token }

function foo() {}

It is even possible to do it by "accident" with only subtly more complicated code! I constantly see secrets leak to the frontend because a company is bundling their backend and frontend together and using their frontend as a proxy. This lack of separation of concerns leads to a very easy exploit:

If I'm using, say, Next.js, and I want access to the request throughout the frontend, I should use context. Next even provides this context for you (though honestly even this is really really scary), but before my code was isomorphic I could just assign it to a variable and access that.

At least in regards to the scaryness of the next provided global context, at least now node has AsyncLocalStorage which properly manages scoping, but plenty of legacy...

The entire ecosystem is awful.

From my distrust in bundlers, I'm now fuzzing within CI for auth issues. Hitting the server 10k times as fast as possible from two different users and ensuring that there is no mixup. Also, scanning the client bundle for secrets. I haven't had an issue yet, but I've watched these things happen regularly and I know that this sort of test is not common

This part is the thing that made me understand the numbering series:

> […] Continuing this trend, rounding as needed, and we end up with the series 10, 15, 22, 33, 47, and 68. Components built to the E6 standard have a 20% relative error tolerance, and if we look at the values again we’ll see a trend. Starting with 10 again and adding 20% error we end up with 12. Moving to 15 and subtracting 20% we get… wait for it… 12. Moving up from 15 we get 15 + 20% = 18 and 22 – 20% = 17.6. This trend repeats no matter what range of powers of 10 you use, as long as they are consecutive. So 47kΩ + 20% = 56400, while 68kΩ – 20% = 54400.

> Look again at the values 47 and 68. The max/min values overlap right about 56, don’t they? That sounds familiar. The E12 standard uses all of the same values as E6, but with 6 more values mixed in. These 6 additional values are roughly where the E6 values overlap, and now in order to cover the entire range our %-error is reduced to 10%. Starting again at 10, we have 10, 12, 15, 18, 22, 27, 33, 39, 47, 56, 68, and 82. The math holds true here as well, with the error values just slightly overlapping.

It's the 'tolerance overlap' concept that makes the numbers work, but I don't think I've ever seen it explained so clearly before.

When we re-up a post, which I did with https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40560010, you see a relativized timestamp on the front page and on the /item page (i.e. the thread). See https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... for explanations of why.

> Here's the tax policy quote in context

The context gives further support to the article's statement that George Martin didn't think things through very well before posing his questions. Or even read the books very carefully, for that matter. For example, Martin's questions about the orcs are answered, by implication, in Book VI, Chapter 5:

"[T]he King pardoned the Easterlings that had given themselves up, and sent them away free, and he made peace with the peoples of Harad; and the slaves of Mordor he released and gave to them all the lands about Lake Nurnen to be their own."

So as long as whatever orcs were left didn't take up arms against other peoples, they would be left alone in their own lands to make their own way. No genocide.

(In fact, it's not even clear that Martin understands what actually happened to the orcs and other creatures that Sauron had bred. He seems to think they were "in the mountains"--but that's what happened at the end of the Second Age, not the Third--the orcs that survived the War of the Last Alliance hid in various places in the mountains, and remained threats to travelers in the mountains during the Third Age. But it's made clear that that was because at the end of the Second Age, the Ring was not destroyed and Sauron's power was not forever taken away. At the end of the Third Age, it was. Big difference.)

So I also disagree with Martin's take on Tolkien.
I'm happy I get to live in a world where Mozilla exists. If the only leaders in FOSS AI were Meta, that'd be a shame.
It might have destroyed K, bug not Kafka himself. Kafka himself was an incredible successful lawyer, who won every single insurance case for his important employer. He was also a good sportsman, ate very healthy and had huge fun provoking his hated father. It's all a very elaborate dark comedy.

Because we have well-measured inputs for CO2 between basically 250 PPM and $current_day PPM. Do you see how this statement

> Eh, atmospheric CO2 (and other GHGs) is just another input parameter

only works for CO2 inputs outside our measurements, if the climate response to those inputs is linear (and thus predictable from the responses we have already seen)?

I claim that the climate response to CO2 forcing is, in fact, strongly nonlinear, and further that it's nonlinear for other "unusual inputs" - not just CO2 - things like sea surface temperature or unusually low pressure troughs. So-called extreme weather. I can't bring up good citations at the moment, sorry, but here's a somewhat exaggerated thought experiment:

Take an AI model trained on weather measurements ~1970-2024. Also take a model of the primitive fluid equations on a rotating sphere. What predictions might you expect from each one for an asteroid hitting an empty patch of the West Pacific?

Yes, people are frustrated at highly paid and educated specialists being paid large amounts of money by them while in severe pain, and sometimes not getting help.

Just like they're frustrated if they don't listen at a grade school comprehension level, which absolutely is not superhuman.

Are you autistic by any chance? If so, I recommend trying to think in terms of the suffering people experience specifically because of the circumstances and because of a common social treatment of distrust and inattention.

E.g. I'll be far more bothered by someone who pretends to listen then ignored me, or who actively accuses me of not feeling pain, than someone who merely does a bad job -- i didn't, for instance, complain about my first GI specialist who merely did a bad job but always paid attention and tried to work slightly more than a chatbot in terms of effort put.

And effort too there is relevant, especially someone in a context of great luxury and not insignificant "authority" (i lack a better term rn) afforded by their position.

In the article's example, I'd prefer 2 resistors in parallel. That way result is less dramatic if 1 resistor were to be knocked off the board / fail.

Eg. 1 resistor slightly above desired value, and a much higher value in parallel to fine-tune the combination. Or ~210% and ~190% of desired value in parallel.

That said: it's been a long time since I used a 10% tolerance resistor. Or where a 1% tolerance part didn't suffice. And 1% tolerance SMT resistors cost almost nothing these days.
One thing these models gave going for them is they won’t come at the problem with preconceived notions.

A sensor that’s off by some constant factor is feeding bad data to a physics model and resulting are deemed incorrect if they don’t match the future value of that sensor. AI on the other hand could self correct for such issues because the data doesn’t mean anything only the patterns.

I can only assume current models include everything even tangentially relevant from albedo to topology and ocean currents. But that doesn’t mean they include everything relevant just everything people consider relevant.
Don’t worry about it, fair question and I wouldn’t waste calories on folks who can’t find it to be kind, especially with the job market as rough as it is now.

Good luck, you got this.

AI is very different than the others you listed. Yes, Mozilla chases trends too easily, and I'm the first one to say that (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10698997).

But I don't understand why people think AI can be lumped into the same category as VR/3D printing/blockchain/etc. It's clearly going to change the world, and in 200 years we'll look back on it the same way we saw the invention of electricity. (You know, assuming we're still around as a species).

To me, it's so weird to watch people dunk on AI for hallucinating a bit or because some CEOs hack it into their product in unfulfilling ways. Look how bad image generation was just a year ago (fuzzy and mushy), and now we have movie clips that are almost studio quality (but generated in minutes).

You are really discussing an improvement in programming languages rather than in databases. Innovation in programming languages themselves tend to be in languages like Haskell which give you much more abstraction power. You should take a look at Haskell beam https://haskell-beam.github.io/beam/tutorials/tutorial1/ or Esqueleto https://github.com/bitemyapp/esqueleto and you will find that these libraries achieve much tighter integration between the database and the rest of the language. I'm especially fond of Beam: the way to define data types and tables, the way to write queries just feel incredibly intuitive to me.

These are much easier problems to solve. Many people have already solved it.

Satellites also measure the temperature/height of clouds, and there's also some data from aircraft. A lot of commercial aircraft automatically report the temperature/pressure as they fly. The only problem is that a lot of their flight is in the stratosphere, but they give good data in their climb/descent.
I think at some point it is worth admitting that there are variables you can't account for. Like the precise geography - the models model an area 1 mile square as a single vector, maybe even more coarse. They don't model every tree, rock, and bush. In a neural net you can just have "weight goop" which accounts for the net effect of these unmodeled features, but in a traditional model adding "fudge factors" and extrapolating back from the model to points of interest is tricky.
