Obvious omission from my prior comment: in the absence of sunlight. I'd hoped that would be clear from context, it's an oversight on my part.

That is, either sunlight or dietary supplementation will provide the essential vitamin/hormone D (its biological function is ... interesting).

Which is to say, deprivation of either sunlight or dietary sources of themselves is not sufficient to induce vitamin D deficiency. There's also the fact that as an oil-based vitamin, can be, and is, stored for prolonged periods in body tissues. That's a sharp contrast to the water-soluable vitamin C of which excess is excreted in urine.

This was responding specifically to the prior claim "they need vitamin D just like any other life form and can only synthesise it from the sun" (emphasis added) by seszett here: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40594479> The apparent claim that sunlight is necessary for acquisition of vitamin D is incorrect.

Periodic hypersupplementation of D can be effectively processed and retained by the body. By contrast, hyperdosing of vitamin C is a waste of resources as the excess is not retained and is flushed out. I've read previously that long-term injections of vitamin D have been effectively used, see:

"Lasting Moderate Increases in Serum 25-Hydroxvitamin D Levels and Shorter-Term Changes in Plasma Calcium " <https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28492140/>

"Vitamin D Injections: Benefits, Side Effects, and Who Is a Candidate?
" <https://healthnews.com/nutrition/vitamins-and-supplements/vi...>

(Neither of these is the specific item I'd had in mind, though both describe similar procedures and efficacy.)

(Overconsumption of various vitamins and minerals can be harmful in other ways as well, I'm not a doctor (not even of philology) and moreover I'm not your doctor.)

People get caught up in this all the damn time, and blame the wrong system.

There should always 3 steps in accessing a secure system (eg bank account): Identity, Authentication, Authorization.

Just because there is a unique identifier that is known publicly, it does not imply that the person presenting that identifier is the actual entity to which that identifier was issued. The identifier is just an identier, it does not prove anything. It is not really all that different than your name. Just knowing your name should not give me access to anything.

To prove the entity presenting the identifier is actually the entity to which the identifier belongs you have to do authentication. And authentication does have to rely on some sort of secure exchange of secrets (ie not of publicly available information). These should be secrets known only to the correct entity and to the entity performing authentication (and authenticator need not even be the same organization that issued the identifier in the first place)

And once you've matched the entity to the identifier, then the last step: does that entity with that identifier have the authorization to perform whatever task they're asking to be done? Not every entity has the equivalent of root access to everything they have legitimate access to.

Identity, Authentication, Authorization.

3 different steps, with 3 different sets of constraints.

The problem in the US is most organizations never perform any even vaguely valid authentication validation. SS#, phone number and an address or two (all public data, if you're willing to pay one of the credit bureaus) and you can get access to most random person's accounts.
This seems like a reasonable point. Add an option to skip slow files if needed, but don’t skip them by default as it leads to unexpected behavior
iTerm2 for MacOS has similar functionality baked in, but less demanding on the server side.

Rather than using a ton of server-side image libraries to render the picture into sixels on the server, it just sends a base64-encoded copy of the whole image to the client where it can determine the image type and render it into the terminal locally.

I've been using serverless framework since v1. I'm trying to wrap my head around this idea of credits... Paying per lambda invocation? Why do I need to pay serverless framework per lambda invocation? If I'm not using the dashboard can I opt out? Can I disable that and not have to pay?

1 Lambda invocation = 4 metrics. 4 million Metrics = 1 credit. Credits are $4 each. This comes out to being 20x more expensive than what I pay AWS for lambda invocations (granted, it doesn't include runtime costs).

Complex things (life/political systems/software) cannot be built based on a manifesto or commandments. See where Christianity and communism got us.

When you reduce complexity into simple but interpretable phrases, we always open doors to priesthoods (Agile coaches, the church, The Communist Party) who claim to know the right way and try to impose a rigid structure on everybody else in their respective communities.

I wish a more scientific method to software development could have been possible. And Agile is not it.
Right because it's impossible for people to learn things themselves. Knowledge must only be passed down by The Gatekeeper.

I’m the same age, and also seem to have heightened hearing at this range. I went to an audiologist for a tinnitus flare up, and did an ultra high frequency hearing test, which confirmed I had abnormally good hearing at 8-16k.

He told me that many audiologists in this specialty believe there is a class of people with sensitive hearing, who are more perceptive to threshold changes in hearing (hence tinnitus). But there’s been no real research on it.

I’m not sure to what extent I believe it (given audiology is somewhere close to physiotherapy in terms of rigour)

You're way, way under thinking the problem.

People who work at your bank right now are pasting your personal details into language models and asking if you deserve a loan. People will figure out how to get this data back out.

"But the model only uses old training data" there are myriad lawsuits in flight where these companies took information they shouldn't have, in all forms. Prompt engineers have already got the engines to spew things that are legally damning.

A real hack, which might archive user inputs as well as exfiltrate training data. We're only beginning to imagine the nightmare.

Can people use these language models to get private Google info? Only if Google was dumb enough to include that in the training. Hint: Yes, it's much, much worse than anyone imagines.

I know of no review process that produces the same level of understanding as does authorship, because the author must build the model from scratch and so must see all the details, while the reviewer is able to do less work because they're fundamentally riding on the author's understanding.

In fact, in a high-trust system, e.g. a good engineering culture in a tech company, the reviewer will learn even less, because they won't be worried about the author making serious mistakes so they'll make less effort to understand.

I've experienced this from both sides of the transaction for code, scientific papers, and general discussion. There's no shortcut to the level of understanding given by synthesizing the ideas yourself.

It's not even just about habitability. There are many remote places on Earth that we consider a waste of time and effort to inhabit, which are themselves 100X more habitable than Mars. There's a reason we don't have large, thriving settlements on inland Greenland, deep in the Sahara Desert, and Antarctica, even though they are way more habitable than Mars. There's no reason to inhabit them.

This is the rule you need to follow, but I don't understand what you're saying about global state.

The broken version has global state.

Non-broken versions can have global state or not have global state, depending on implementation choice. And that choice is separate from whether they have good performance.
Are they learning? Or are they just accepting the results, as long as it appears to more or less do what they want, and moving on?

The Random Monad in Haskell allows you to write pseudo-random code without caring where the prng comes from. It's only when the caller runs evalRand/runRand that it must provide the prng. So you can't possibly screw up the random code by sourcing a global prng even if you wanted to; rather, it's the caller that has full control over the prng.

First, the casualty estimates are just for US soldiers and is likely low. They fough against Japanese troops with a kill ratio of between 1:1 and 1:20 (in favor of the Marines) so it’s easy to extrapolate massive US casualties when fighting the then 80 million strong Japanese on home soil.

I don’t know much about the second point, so you may be right.

Third, you have to look at stats, not emotions. Battle deaths - in absolute terms and per capita - dropped like a stone after 1945.
After reading this I'm wondering how the indy code autocomplete tools are going to be able to compete longterm with this giant feedback rich data machine Google has built...do engineering orgs of sufficient scale ultimately hoard their tooling for competitive advantage, thereby leaving independent players to cater to developers outside of Google? Feels like yes...but plenty of inventions trickle out in various forms.
> as it's widely believed that the optimal % is more than zero (not "too low" but also not "too high", whatever that means).

The optimal ratio is very close to 0[1]:

+-----------------------+---------------------+
| Range | Average Utilization |
+-----------------------+---------------------+
| 300-579 (Poor) | 82.1% |
| 580-669 (Fair) | 56.1% |
| 670-739 (Good) | 35.2% |
| 740-799 (Very good) | 14.7% |
| 800-850 (Exceptional) | 6.5% |
+-----------------------+---------------------+

Basically the concept is that if you're already borrowing as much money as people are willing to lend you, those people probably have a good reason to not want to lend you more.

Also, as a bonus, the utilization component doesn't have history. If you're about to take out a loan, you can just borrow/pay back as much debt as you want the previous month for an ideal utilization.

The odds of a birthday paradox collision on a good 160 bit hash are indeed low enough that it is way beyond anything we have to care about...but it is not completely inconceivable that Earth could reach a point where we might want to be concerned.

Estimates are that we'll peak at around 10 billion people. Say we solve our energy problems and climate problems and eventually reach a stable civilization of that size, where everyone is well off and has plenty of electronic devices doing massive amounts of data processing and communication, so on average everyone needs something hashed every millisecond.

The civilization will be generating around 3 x 10^20 hashes per second. Here's how long they will typically go between collisions, in years, for hash sizes of 160, 224, 256, 385, and 512: 4000, 2 x 10^13, 10^18, 2 x 10^37, and 4 x 10^56.

Every 4000 years is still pretty good, but that assumes that they don't have significant growth in their needs. They might want to bump it up to 224 bits.

224 bits would even be OK for a much bigger civilization, say beings that live in the upper atmosphere of a Jupiter-sized gas giant where they would have 1000 times as much room as we have on Earth. Say they have a population of a trillion, and they have a lot more communications and data processing going on so each being on average needs a hash every microsecond.

With 160 bits they would have around 26 collisions per year. With 224 bits they have one around every 200 million years. 256 bits would habve one every 10^13 years.
Pretty sure I’ve made exactly the same mistake. I feel like everyone who ever writes concurrent code learns that lesson at some point. It’s absolutely astonishing how much mileage one can get out of thread-per-core-fed-by-work-queues architectures.
I wouldn't be surprised if the sole training data for autocompletes was google3. It's an absolutely massive codebase, using the libraries and patterns Googlers use, and more or less entirely safe to train on. Any training data beyond that would be whitelisted by legal.
The best theatrical release since the original trilogy, IMO. I think part of it is because of how much gravity it imparts to the beginning of Episode IV. (And the other part is how objectively bad the prequel and sequel trilogies were.)
> 1. All the things it can obviously do very well today

I'm curious what those things are.

At least to me, it isn't obvious that LLMs solve any of their many applications from the past year "very well". I worry about failures (hallucinations, misinterpretation of prompts, regurgitation of incorrect facts, violation of copyright, and more). I don't have a good sense of when they fail, how often this happens, or how to identify these failures in scenarios where I'm not a domain expert.

But maybe some subset of these are solved problems, or at least problems that are actively being worked on for the next generation of models.

Yes, there are many other kinds of AI. Stockfish is better at chess than any human. But when you start talking about emergent behavior from machine learning, the failure modes are much harder to reason about.
What I do currently is just limit the amount of data uploaded per frame. Not ideal but works.
Many, many, many years ago, my employer needed me to write some code to read 8 COM ports in OS/2. Then based on that, do some operations.

So, me, being brand new to OS/2, immediately wanted to try out the new multi-threading features. Without knowing anything about locks and spins or deadlocks or shared state, I plunged into it just using the OS/2 documentation and a programming book I bought. Keep in mind, this was a single CPU machine, probably an Intel 486dx or something like that.

I spent the next couple of weeks debugging all sorts of things that should not have been happening. There were crashes, lock up, slow downs, missing variables, etc... that I couldn't resolve.

After a while, I gave up and did what the OP did: just put everything in a loop and it solved everything.
That is debatable at best, a crewed flight to mars is 8 months, crew of 3

You have roughly 40t at best for a craft that needs to land there.

quick google. astronauts need around 1.7kg of food per day, x3 crew, x(8x30) days is:

thats 1200 kg of food - one way - just to get there food.

And then you are doing to do what exactly?

> the rest of the plan revolved around using Apollo hardware, with some modification, for both transport and habitats(re-use of empty stages featured prominently).

This is basically handwaving problems away, massive problems.

The best I can agree is that a crewed fly-by could have been possible. But landing on mars would mean death sooner or later.
> The reality is that while squatters might hold political beliefs, few people would choose to squat if they had other housing options

Here in Seattle, time and time again, studies are done which show the majority of homeless, when offered shelter, turn it down and prefer to live on the streets. Which seems to completely contradict your claim that they would make use of housing options.

Maybe Seattle homeless are different than your homeless. I don't know why that'd be the case. The same people with the same political ideologies blame the cause of it on the same things, in both places, at least.
