No. But I feel like it is unlikely I'll find much value in it. Part 1 being on the Venter work does NOT inspire confidence at all. Not to dismiss them - they're great I've worked with them on a couple projects - but it frankly doesn't have anything to do with abiogenesis. The other fact that lots of creationists like it doesn't bode well either.

Like, of COURSE the Venter cell looks too complicated to originate from raw chemicals! The lineage it evolved from was far more complex, and Mycoplasma underwent minimization. Minimal life also does not equal simple life, or life that was most probable to arise from chemicals. Just a stupid premise, really.
Does that well get good benchmarks soon?
I think you are confusing attention and praise. Most folks here seem to be saying this is attention worthy not praiseworthy.
what it cant tell you the correct date.. how simple is that and yeah i use chatGPT in many different ways ... i was pointing out an example from today in which it was flat wrong for such a simple thing.
Pretty much. Most people in states with one big city would be happy to watch it burn. It's a common joke here in Georgia that "That lazy-ass Sherman didn't do a good enough job because Atlanta's still there."
It matters to you if a robot discovers something and tells you rather than some person you don’t know discovering it and telling you? All the exploration of space is being done by robots anyway.

Then computers crunch the data and screens display it…all directed by humans.

This is the mental trap of technical-only problem solvers.

Food insecurity and going to the moon are both technically solved problems, but we cannot secure food for everyone nor are we currently capable of landing on the moon because we cannot solve the social-financial problems that would make them happen. The engineer's disease is biased against social understanding as well as seeing social problems as legitimate[real] problems.
40% (down from a high of 50%) of first marriages, 67% of second marriages, and 73% of third marriages end in divorce. If you get a divorce, never get married again. Love, live together (caveat community property states, talk to an attorney!), have a celebration together with loved ones, but skip the paperwork. It isn’t worth it imho.

Have given this advice to >10 people in my circle who have gone through a divorce. In my early 40s, the number of couples I know still married is rapidly dwindling.

This is an odd assumption.

If someone asked me what kind of wall cars are most likely to run into at 100 mph, I'd have assumed something like a freeway barrier wall that are fully anchored to the ground or the reinforced concrete walls they use for crash tests - something with a mass substantially greater than a vehicle.

The dialog of this thread could fill out three panels of an XKCD comic quite nicely.
Their take-away is that when people tell them ChatGPT produces excellent code you have a nice example to the contrary. The business had many failures, not the least of which is that `default = ... foo() ...` should have jumped out in a cursory glance at the code as needing further inspection, almost no matter which language the developers in question are most comfortable with.
When I was coding https://stackoverflow.com/a/77210784/308851 well, I had no idea how to open an SSH connection using go, I barely knew basic Go so I asked ChatGPT. The meat of the SSH connecting code is still pretty much ChatGPT written (bad chx!) but it contained a couple defers like defer session.Close() which I needed to understand and remove before it became usable as a utility function. I did search for ssh.PublicKeysCallback(agent.NewClient(sshAgent).Signers) to see whether others use it and I found they do and their code was very similar so I decided to trust ChatGPT code even if I only understood it enough to understand but not enough to write similar code. It's just an SSH connection, the risk is quite low, the expected result of bogus code is just not working, I wouldn't expect subtle errors here. The rest of the logic is hand written, though.
Then you’re checking in artifacts generated from source code (for this method that relies on git push to work).
Hidden in footnote 5 is a significant fact about the two-headed planaria (flatworms) that produce two-headed offspring: they reproduce not by laying eggs, but by fission. In other words, this physiological trait is not passed through the genes (if it were, that would be a rather astounding Lamarckian fact).

Planaria in general reproduce sexually (with eggs and sperm) and asexually (by splitting).
I'm not sure I trust that Wikipedia page because:

- It introduces the list as "There are twenty six in London itself. They are:" but the list contains only 23 items.

- There are three separate entries for a single London Road (the one that goes through Norbury, Thornton Heath and Croydon).
expanding on Walters response, each car has the same kinetic energy as if it hit a wall at 50mph.

Together, they have the energy of two cars at 50 each hitting a wall, and this energy is split between the two cars.

If somehow ALL of the kinetic energy was absorbed only by one car , it still wouldnt be equal to 100mph, do the the square.

Together, two cars traveling at 50mph have the same energy as one car traveling at 70mph.

The only case when two objects colliding at 50mph is like 100mph is if the final reference frame is still traveling at 50mph. a Car going 50pmh hitting a train going 50mph would be like the car hitting a wall at 100mph (net velocity change of 100mph.
There are at least two garbage collectors in there as well.
The issue that stands out to me with this is its not using coroutines. Python developers who don't know everything about the GIL, threading, blocking v non-blocking sockets, processes, all of that can of worms, are going to try regular blocking I/O (that they might have done fine in PHP) leading to horrible performance. I think the choice to do this with 'threads' in Python (not real threads) = very bad. I think you can have multiple processes here but if you're using just Python for the web server the overhead is going to be massive for an interpreter...

The correct approach would have been to have an event loop in every process handling 1 - however many clients for the server. Then async I/O functions can be done inside the app routes without potentially impacting the performance of every other client being processed. The software here seems to use Flask for the underlying server stuff (when running from Python.) But anyone whose tried to use flask for a web project before knows that its slow AF since it loads everything one after the other. When looking that up I think you can tweak the number of processes it uses but IMO: it's not the right approach.
"If your elders are wrong, you have as much cause to contradict them as they would to contradict you if you were wrong. [...] Once, long after I became an adult with children of my own, my parents asked me if it would have been better for them to have brought me up in their parents’ religion: Judaism. I replied that I preferred having been brought up in what they believed in: 18th century rationalism, the belief system of Adam Smith and David Hume."

This is very emblematic of the sort of thinking you also get from other modernist Enlightenment advocates like Steven Pinker or 20th century positivists but it's simply an extremely cartoonish position. For no good reason it assumes that everything worth doing is legible to individuals, even children in this case, and if you can't present an explicit "rational" argument for it, there's no good reason for it to be around.

Of course the fundamental problem is that there's no reason to believe that everything of value in the world is legible, in particular to individuals, and throwing long traditions away just because you can't defend them at any given point doesn't mean that in them isn't encoded some institutional knowledge that nobody can directly articulate. If an entire community acted like this household of eccentric libertarian economists it'd look like an insane asylum.

In many ways a good analogy for what's wrong with this worldview is the whole old vs new AI debate where you had the Chomsky rationalist, let's explicitly construct all knowledge camp vs the learning approaches. The philosophical insight for why the latter won out is because most valuable knowledge in the world can't be articulated, it's just embedded in practices.
This blog post only serves as a reminder that you have to avoid overrelying on "AI".
I've done a fair amount of floating point simd programming for what the article calls type 1 - iterate large amounts of data as quickly as possible on the CPU.

I've been increasingly finding lately that integer-simd programming is incredibly useful to speed up all kinds of sorting searching filtering etc operations, even in otherwise scalar code. A lot of this kind of non-numeric code doesn't have any performance requirements, but it's very satisfying to be able to use when you run into situations that do.
both are crumpling, but the line between the cars does not change and acts as a wall.

Imagine compressing two springs in a line vs one against a wall.
That works, but my personal favorite is drawing something like 2 half notes, connected, since a bridge shape seems to maximize the height*width of iceberg visible above the water. There is nothing to stop you from just adding a wide flat plane to the top of your spike either though to add more flair!
No, the idea is that historically-normal interest rates around the 5-10% mark won't be conducive to free VC cash being sprayed around for start-ups to wank themselves silly over "piv-iterating" endlessly over spamming complete nonsense and using headcount and office shininess as a substitute for useful and robust products.

Yes, it makes the barrier higher even for good products and helps entrench incumbents, but short of a transnational revolution, the macroeconomic system is what is it and you can only chose to find the good things in it or give up entirely.
I don't think she "deserves attention", and in fact that's a very strange way to look at what she's doing, but odds are she's sharing her washer collection with other people because she enjoys collecting and talking about them. Saying it's about attention is both an insult and a logical stretch.
You might be interested in the concept of "ring species", which doesn't contradict the principle you just stated, but does conflict with the biological species concept. A ring species is a continuum of interbreeding populations such that the ends of the continuum are not interfertile.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_species

This parallels the phenomenon you see in languages where, for example, any two adjacent villages across a considerable distance will be able to speak to each other, even though villages at opposite ends of the continuum cannot do so.

(The "ring" part of the term refers to the two ends of the interfertility continuum being located in the same geographic area, which is a red herring.)

As the wikipedia page notes, the problem that this concept exposes is that interfertility is not a transitive relation, and therefore can't be an equivalence relation.

> today on Facebook someone made the risible claim that since our DNA is 98% the same as a chimp, WE are "98% the same as a chimp."

> I pointed out that by that standard, we're also 60% the same as a banana.

The major problem here is that "to what degree is a person 'the same' as a chimp?" is not a well-defined question. Again, you would need to define what it means to be the same, and it will vary with what you care about.

There are important ways in which we are the same as a banana; most obviously, you can eat a banana and expect to be nourished. This is not a given for an alien organism, even one that appears to be largely chemically identical to a banana. Whether the similarities reach 60% depends on how you convert them to numbers. We can note that the concept of 'species' assures us that any two humans are 100% "the same", as compared to a banana, whereas if you research relatedness the convention is that two brothers are 50% "the same" and two strangers are 0% "the same" (and bananas, not being human, don't exist), and if you're doing theology the convention is generally that even identical twins are 0% "the same".

Summing that up, if you're told that two things are the same, the response is "the same how?" The reason the Facebook argument is stupid is that total shared DNA count isn't a useful thing to measure for most purposes. The salience of a difference in phenotype isn't closely related to the amount of DNA that changed to enable it.
Cloudflare supports .dev too and they are the only name servers and registrar I'd use, personally (for their technical competence and dashboard ease of use). Had all my domains with them for years and never had an issue.
It seems that Milton Friedman's work and "libertarianism" itself were both just PR in the beginning: https://www.alternet.org/2013/09/true-history-libertarianism...

So it's not so much a question of ideology, as a question of where the money is coming from ("Cui bono?").
If you compile a benign binary yourself which has no malware, Chrome and Windows Defender will flag it as suspicious.

I was hacking on some open source stuff targeting win32, I posted some binaries on GitHub releases, I try to share with others... People tell me it's flagged as malware. It isn't malware. What do I tell them?

I hear code signing helps the heuristics to not get it flagged, but doesn't remove it.

If people working on said software want the warnings to be taken seriously, they should work on reducing false positives.
> Because misogynist and patriarchal (agree with you there) dumbass dems over correct when they finally pick an issue to do something about?

Yes, so you agree with me then. As I said in my first comment, this is policy overreach by progressives. They've ended up pushing policy that enables any male who says he's a woman to access any space that was intended to be only for women. This harms women and girls.

> > If you remove the female body from the definition of woman, what else remains besides sexist stereotypes?

> Oh idk, maybe who they are as an individual? What they stand for? What they like and dislike??

I think you misunderstood the question.

At least, I hope it's not your view that likes and dislikes are what distinguish women as a class from men as a class, and vice versa, because that wouldn't make any sense at all.

You're making the same mistake as the article, which is assuming that Ken Burns gives a shit about politics. He will give a "facts-on-the-ground" overview of events at the time, but his films famously have a myopic focus on individuals, their actions and written experiences, sometimes to a fault.

Just like he doesn't really care to put Elliot Ness on an even larger pedestal than the one upon which he currently sits, he doesn't care to delve into the post-war geopolitical situation in SE Asia, because no one wrote about it at the time and it did not matter to front-line soldiers, news reporters, or the American public.

If you want a historiographical survey, read Wikipedia. That's just not the point of a Burns film, and that's okay that you and the author find faults in what he omits.

What does it mean exactly for the service to provide information about a website without scraping it? How could summaries or LLM responses be generated be made without scraping pages?
Yes, and when compilers fail, it's a very complex problem to solve, that usually requires many hours from experienced dev. Luckily,

(1) Compilers are reproducible (or at least repeatable), so you can share your problem with other, and they can help.

(2) For common languages, there are multiple compilers and multiple optimization options, which (and that's _very important_) produce identically-behaving programs - so you can try compiling same program with different settings, and if they differ, you know compiler is bad.

(3) The compilers are very reliable, and bugs when compiler succeeds, but generates invalid code are even rarer - in many years of my career, I've only seen a handful of them.

Compare to LLMs, which are non-reproducible, each one is giving a different answer (and that's by design) and finally have huge appear-to-succeed-but-produce-bad-output error rate, with value way more than 1%. If you had a compiler that bad, you'd throw it away in disgust and write in assembly language.
As an "OpenAI replacement," maybe it ripped off Kathleen Turner's voice instead of Scarlett Johannsen's.
Wow! This is great. I was looking for a service with this exact feature set. Keep up the good work.
I’ve been using Meld Studio as a replacement for OBS. My use case is recording educational screencasts mostly. Very easy to have a rounded facecam on top of a screen capture.

Your algorithm will never shuffle a deck of cards because randomly selecting a 64 digit means your N(logN) algorithm will need to generate on average the 2^63th or larger permutation. It’ll be several millennia for every deck shuffle. If you don’t believe me try to write it.

Also, I’m not really sure your nlog(n) algorithm claim is accurate - python’s itertools says that the time complexity to generate the Nth permutation is still N!. So for a 52 deck card on average you’re going to have to generate 2^88 permutations.

By comparison, shuffling is O(n) where your n is the number of items.
It’s possible to move fast the same way, but break less things than this. For example, in this case, they said that they introduced tests to mitigate this. I can assure you that introducing tests takes more time than Google searches to check in like 2 minutes what each lines really does.
The US Python foundational team was less than 10 people. If you think any 10 person team in a 200,000 employee corporation is that critical well I’d have to disagree

When their jobs were moved to Munich there was a lot of discussion about how important they were, but something else stood out to me. One of the things they accomplished was taking over a year to make sure the monorepo can be upgraded to the latest version of python

As an outsider this definitely smells like an org creating work just to justify its budget. You have a single team of a handful of engineers doing the python upgrade work for tens of thousands of engineers. Doesn’t feel right out of the bat

I’m sure soon enough with the role moving they’ll find out if the team is needed at all
Probably true to the people who go around asserting false claims and enjoy people pretending to believe them because of their social status. But those people are also insufferable twats to the logical argument types.
What if someone drives through these geofences? E.g. driving past a church or waiting at a pedestrian crossing close (but within) a school zone.

Other than that, I am pretty sure you can already achieve this feature without relying on 3rd party apps by using Apple's 'Shortcuts' app. Granted, this is based on location with a circular radius and not a custom shaped geofence.

Ask HN: How do I get started with the physical world?
Some servers are connected to technology that is more capable than general computers for a specific use case, such as [1] radios or [2] lava lamps.

[1] https://www.random.org/faq/#Q1.3

"No. It's not just the software you'd need, but also three radios (or one, at any rate), which must be carefully adjusted to pick up atmospheric noise at the right volume. It's not completely trivial to set up."

[2] https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/ssl/lava-lamp-encryption/

"To produce the unpredictable, chaotic data necessary for strong encryption, a computer must have a source of random data. The 'real world' turns out to be a great source for randomness, because events in the physical world are unpredictable."

The examples listed above are for generating true random numbers, but I believe computers' connections to the physical world isn't just limited to that! What should I know before getting started with these kinds of things? Have you built an application that uses similar external technology?

There's also strace -kk (--stack-trace=source), but when I just ran it on Ubuntu 24.04, got this error:

$ strace -kk pwd
strace: Stack traces with source line information (-kk/--stack-trace=source option) are not supported by this build of strace

Also, there's "perf trace" that has now gotten pretty good reporting the system call arguments and context (in older versions it didn't report enough details of the system call arguments & their contents).

As strace uses userspace ptrace(), it slows down the traced processes and may even cause failures due to mucking around with signalling, perf trace doesn't have that problem as it uses kernel tracepoints.
