I think the bigger issue currently is we understand so little about the brain. For something like Schizophrenia there is very obviously biological origins - not that environment doesn't have an impact as well, but you're not solving that with behavioral therapy alone. However I think biological psychiatry has sorta thrown the baby out with the bathwater in the way it tries to study these disorders, lumping everyone with psychotic disorders into one basket and doing some one dimensional studies on that.

Since we don't really have a foundational understanding of the brain and these are complex (probably multiple distinct under 1 umbrella) diseases, it's difficult to draw many real conclusions. Unfortunately on the flip side it is rare to see professionals that focus on the human side of things think much about biology. So you get a weird gap where people with fancy biology tools are studying very ill-defined phenomena, and people who work on unpacking the psychological phenomena are entirely ignoring the critical underlying biology. Maybe one day the fields will be better bridged, but research that is currently done isn't really abstracted in a way where it's feasible for the two sides to meaningfully inform each other. Plus there are cultural barriers in place.

There are some bits of software that are simple enough to describe first and then implement, but just about any software that has more than one person working on it is more complex than that (IME), and for those cases, one might as well just implement it anyway.

There are varying degrees to which a team or business may invest in collecting and negotiating requirements before starting development, and there is obviously some amount of this work that is essential and valuable.

That said, as this planning investment grows beyond some reasonable point, and moves deeper into technical details, it will be composed of more waste and this waste will only become apparent as the people executing discover the real technical and product requirements.

The technical debt we're discussing will become an option immediately as the engineering work begins, and it's up to the team to decide how much, if any debt they are interested in taking on at whatever point in time.

I'm not convinced that it's helpful to conceive of the thing we're all working on and becoming more and more intimately familiar with as a new thing over some randomly selected interval.

There is no reality in which we can fully design or specify everything up front. If the specification were comprehensive, it would be the solution.
I guess a similar thing is happening with GPU drivers and games.
I’m quite sure that there is (at least some) truth in this. I’ve been travelling in Italy for a month now. Around and below Napoli, there is something which I cannot grasp, which seemed very calming. It’s slower somehow, and way more enjoyable, than north Italy. Even parts of north Italy which are very “chill”, and where “nothing really happens”. One for sure: south Italy lifestyle is definitely closer to slow living than any “slow living” part of the north. Even Napoli on some level.

If the extemporaneous style of cooking from the article sounds interesting to you, the book "An Everlasting Meal" by Tamar Adler teaches it. (She quotes M. F. K. Fisher often, who was edited by Judith Jones.)

Personally, for everyday cooking I find that way of cooking much more engaging – and much less like drudgery – than cooking from recipes. In my case, it also made food waste go down quite a bit.
In my country it might have been the same. Although the anti-censorship positions quickly evaporated and were replaced by something completely different. Freedom of speech became a far right dog whistle to some and hate speech was all the new rage and state surveillance a must to combat unsanctioned opinions.

On the other side, you had ideologues promoting strict libertarian positions, which were also quite repellent because they were inflexible about their own belief system and their policy suggestions crude at best, completely anti-social at worst.

Overall there was no discussion on which positions the party should take on specific issues and instead it was mostly prescribed top down. I believe people just noticed that they don't share the same values as the party anymore and so they left.

> Yes, I can mentally substitute pi for pi but please put a pi on the page (it looks like a ... pi) ... Π

Uhm...Π is an upper case pi, which is the symbol for the product operator. For the symbol for the mathematical constant you want lower case pi, π.

That's an easy mistake to make on HN because HN asks for Verdana for the body of the page and for some unfathomable reason the designer of Verdana decided to make lower case pi just be a smaller version of upper case pi, so if you don't notice that you entered the product symbol instead of the symbol for the constant while in the comment editor there is a good chance you won't notice when you do a final proofread of the posted comment.

For reference here is the Greek alphabet, upper and lower case, in a code block which renders in something other than Verdana followed by the same thing not in a code block to show what Verdana does to Greek letters:

Α α, Β β, Γ γ, Δ δ, Ε ε, Ζ ζ, Η η, Θ θ, Ι ι, Κ κ, Λ λ, Μ μ, Ν ν, Ξ ξ, Ο ο, Π π, Ρ ρ, Σ σ/ς, Τ τ, Υ υ, Φ φ, Χ χ, Ψ ψ, Ω ω

Α α, Β β, Γ γ, Δ δ, Ε ε, Ζ ζ, Η η, Θ θ, Ι ι, Κ κ, Λ λ, Μ μ, Ν ν, Ξ ξ, Ο ο, Π π, Ρ ρ, Σ σ/ς, Τ τ, Υ υ, Φ φ, Χ χ, Ψ ψ, Ω ω

Besides pi I'm not pleased by Verdana's lower case alpha, iota, nu, tau, chi, or psi but none of those are as annoying as its pi.

Show HN: An AI Hype Thermometer
I noticed many of the new "Show HN" posts contained a lot of applications building with AI in some way. I thought it would be a good way to measure the hype levels looking at this ratio (and be a little meta).

This little project gives us a read on the hype levels loosely based on the percentage of posts relating to AI.
I was also confused by that, it's a weird choice considering the articles themselves are full of original diagrams and illustrations that could easily have been used instead. The AI generated images are just visual noise.

Curious, was that laptop running with nvidia?

Because the reason Apple really dislikes nvidia was because nvidia sort of lied about the thermal spec (much like intel does, except intel could downclock); and it caused a lot of GPUs to kill their motherboards: https://blog.greggant.com/posts/2021/10/13/apple-vs-nvidia-w...
Interesting, what's the difference?
I think that if you have the skills to manage a software project of any complexity then you, alone can create what teams are doing today.
I think AI can characterize proprietary data formats and assist by writing parsers, providing helpful error messages, and pointing out inconsistencies and gaps in the specification.
AI can eliminate the need for so much workforce. Rather than training existing workers, it can become the existing workers.
ChatGPT is already more competent than 1/2 of the workers at my last job. Case in point - two teams were independently assigned a particular upgrade task. Since the project managers used different terms they didn't realize they were doing double work.

Most of the social systems we create as humans are built around establishing redundancies and control to avoid placing trust in humans. We have democracies and elections to avoid getting stuck with crazy or incompetent rulers for too long. We have justice systems and laws to mitigate and ameliorate damage from humans with anti-social tendencies. We have intelligence agencies to collect information from and wage disinformation campaigns against our geopolitical rivals.

These collections of digital neurons absolutely deserve the same levels of scrutiny we reserve for humans. Maybe at some point we will learn to distrust them more than we distrust humans but for now, humans are the high bar for distrust.

Investing in monopolies was always profitable. It just destroys the market. There should be a law that disallows investments into monopolies. But such a law doesn’t exit. Everyone just cares about her/his own profits. In the end most of society is suffering from high prices and stagnation and a few are making huge profits. Everyone hopes to belong to the few ones. This unlimited greed will destroy our society.
At best, that would be some sort cartel, multiple really. Which is quite different from a monopoly, which again is something from dominant market power...
I hope HN readers and OP realize the difference between "30 German companies trial 4 day week" and "Germany trials 4 day week", hence my dislike for the clickbait title which I hope would be edited to make it correct.

Also, according to FT[1] and Bloomberg[2], it seems the German government wants to get people to work more hours, not less, to combat economic slowdown and labor shortages, basically contradicting this article.

So which is it? Do you fix labor shortages and "the economy" by getting people to work longer hours or less hours?

An interesting excerpt from the section “3D Computer Graphics Primer”:

> The understanding of light and how we perceive it has evolved significantly over time. Ancient Greek philosophers posited that vision occurred through beams of light emitted from the eyes, interacting with the environment. Contrary to this, the Arab scholar Ibn al-Haytham (c. 965-1039) introduced a groundbreaking theory, explaining that vision results from light rays originating from luminous bodies like the sun, reflecting off objects and into our eyes, thereby forming visual images. This model marked a pivotal shift in the comprehension of light and vision, laying the groundwork for the modern scientific approach to studying light behavior.

Indeed! If you are interested in reading more about this, I recommend the article “Light Through the Ages: Ancient Greece to Maxwell”[1]. It is a very fascinating article written by J J O’Connor and E F Robertson in 2002 that takes us through a journey of how our understanding of light has evolved over the last few millennia.

Anything capable of fast C interop (so no Go and Java for you, good riddance) is free to use Accelerate. The reason Apple went with AMX first was that SME was not ready at the time, and they did want to have that. Once SME became available, they readily exposed it, as can be seen in M4, using the same hardware blocks underneath.

I'm not here to defend other anti-competitive practices by Apple but as far as just their CPUs go, there are none in that area.
And they sell them to a massive audience who generally don’t give two hoots about AI.
I'd say your bullshit detector needs some readjustment. You can make nice images with AI, especially as chapter images.
But that can be easily rectified by building cooling towers, instead of using river for cooling. What are you going to do with wind not blowing?
Apple doesn’t need to be a force in the AI industry. It needs to integrate the concepts into devices to make them more useful for everyday people.
If the loop is large, you don’t have to move too fast. Fairground rides spin fast enough to exceed 1g with little kids in them, and those rides are usually not wider than 10m, often less. Speed here is distance around the circumference, so twice the radius, half the turning speed.

I don’t have the numbers in front of me, but generally it’s considered that the issue is more that if you’re standing on a spinning cylinder, you might have weird balance issues due to speed differences between head and feet. Also, you have to remember you don’t have gravity, so as you intuit, entry and exit are trickier.

Two broad ideas for entry/exit: do it at the center where the physical position is stable, then “spin up” some how, or alternately get up to external speed and lock on to something that you then elevator through the surface.

It matters, because computer processors generally don't interchange. It's extremely "PC Platform" specific phenomenon that every PC runs the same OS just fine sans for eyecandy peripherals. Booting from a wrong image usually crashes the CPU seconds after power-up for most other platforms. It's not rare that replacing a "HN123X456" processor with "HN123X765" chip involves minor code changes.

ARM had supposedly fixed that problem with SystemReady certification program, personally I will believe it when I see it. Are there even two different iPhone models that runs the same recovery image?

> It's great experience, but it's also slow as the compier must save the entire function state before your assembly block and cannot make any assumptions about what you do inside.

That is why there are function attributes and #pragmas to control what the compiler is supposed to do.

Compilers that don't follow the brainded execution model of UNIX, with hard separation between compiler and Assembler phases, as separate processes comunicating via pipes, are a bit more knowledgeable of what those Assembly instructions are actually doing.

Not only that, they are able to provide proper error messages when the opcodes are badly used.

You need the concept of utility and some (reasonable) assumptions about the shape of the utility curve to derive CAPM - at least the way I was taught it and there may be an alternative I do not know of?

I do not think there being a multitude of utility curves is a problem. It seems to be there is a lack of a clear concept.

I do not think that your analogy with maths works. Maths is is more abstract and should change with different sets of axioms. Economics is supposed to be based on observations of the real world.
