Citation needed. If they were doing "just fine", then this wouldn't have happened (from TFA):

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi told reporters that it's "a critical situation.” The next six years, until the 2030s, will be “the last chance for us to possibly reverse the trend,” he said.

Ask HN: How to OCR a PDF and preserve whitespace?
I have some rather large PDFs that need to be transcribed, but every service I try has some minor but deal-breaking flaw.

Either they don't support PDFs this large (hundreds of pages), are just really bad at English OCR, or, most commonly, don't preserve whitespace correctly.

The number one problem is whitespace when it comes to multiple columns (similar to newspapers). Either not putting any spaces between words, or when there are multiple columns of text, putting rows in the wrong order. If it was just a single page, this would still be useful, since I could fix it myself. But I have over 1000 pages.

I tried so many free services and trials that I just got charged for forgetting to cancel one (thanks to smallpdf.com for refunding my $12). Is OCR technology just not there yet when it comes to multiple-column pages? Yet, this does not seem to be an issue with newspapers.com, based on my experience using their text search feature. I would like to know what OCR software they are using.
But hard mode only says the guesses must be used, not that they mustn't be used in the same spots.
Maybe the only equivalent is to penalize a /32, since there are roughly as many of those as there are ipv4 addresses.
It's not bad at all, though the organization is a bit funny. I get the impression of an organization that knows a great deal struggling to get it all down on paper. Specific references to programming languages, tools, RTOS choices, etc are obviously dated, and specifics of NASA's processes in 2004 won't necessarily apply to whatever you're doing. Their best practices checklists for different programming languages were not exhaustive at the time, and are written like suggestions - I would supplement with more recent approaches there too.

That said, methods of safety analysis have not changed much, and neither has what-makes-an-RTOS-an-RTOS, for example.

> if tuition was $0

https://sfs.mit.edu/undergraduate-students/the-cost-of-atten...

I couldn’t find the number quickly, but tuition is not a big funding source for the university. They are quite generous with tuition grants. This might not be true for the MBA program, but probably is for many/most other programs.

> … and they didn't receive any research grants.

Yeah. This is where I think one needs to look at exactly where expenses go. Grants don’t go as far as some folks think they do.

Anyway, what’s your number with things being as they are?

I’m still ok with $15-20m, and I am not particularly fond of university admins and the way they run things.
Paradoxically, disasters like huge earthquakes are not the worst problem. It will be the social unrest that results from the government's inability to cope with the aftermath that causes the most harm. I wish I could say that the government is preparing for this, but I don't see any evidence. As it is, we struggle to cope with major hurricanes.

> > not everyone can be a homeowner

> Why?

Criminals who were behind the bars for 20 years, just came out and have nothing to buy a house with.

Families moving to another city for 1-2 years because one of the parents found a lucrative job assignment (I literally have some extended family members in this situation).

People who declared bankruptcy recently and cannot have any assets in their name by definition.

Grad students who are in a university town only for 1-2 years (I was one and I know dozens of my classmates who were in the similar situation).

and on and on. Society is just too complex to make everyone a homeowner. Lot of people need to rent.
I don't know for sure, but I assume the people of Google like that there isn't much of an alternative to YT. Waging war on your users seem to be a bad way to keep your monopoly. I'd accept that the reason YouTube is adding more friction is because the revenueOfNewChanges() > currentRevenue(). To me, it seems that YouTube is in a "race to the bottom" to hit the dopamine receptor of the masses. It's why it's competing with TikTok.
Though I don't use the mixes, they are at least an improvement back on whenever they would guess that you wanted to see top trending videos on the whole site, which was usually lowest common denominator stuff (live sports, gaming reaction videos, livebloggers with drama), none of which I actually wanted to see.
Perhaps. A key difference though - history files can include the individual pages I requested from the same host. Right now I have like 50 entries for the various posts I read just from HackerNews, all as separate line items etc etc.

In the case of the phone, one simply sees recipient of call, duration etc, regardless of how much information was exchanged. The phone I'm calling is arguably analogous to the server I request a page from, in the metadata context.

I'd argue browser history is significantly richer in some regards due to this. It's not unheard of for user identifiers to appear in URL paths either - try visiting https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=<HN user name>... In my Chrome, that's instantly in the history file with my username.
It does seem strange, because ok there’s competition, but there’s very limited competition – we’re talking maybe five or six chip manufacturers? And it seems they would all know the metrics of price and can ratchet upwards what they would charge Nvidia, like a cartel without officially forming a cartel.

If TSMC doubled or 10x what they charge Nvidia on Monday, Nvidia can’t switch suppliers overnight, and it would crash Nvidia’s valuation, leaving TSMC to say “ok we have the capacity for anyone who wants to take on Nvidia”.

Another side of that, while the whole “China invading Taiwan thing” isn’t exactly on the cards, there’s now $1+Trillion at stake shorting Nvidia stock alone if China felt like putting a few boots on the ground for a week.
The ability to export a zig project to a single C header file would be really nice. Is that still a planned feature?
Sure -- to refine even more: I mean "problematic" as it is used in pop culture, social media, today -- often among generally "liberal" leaning folks (which I'd include myself in) and again, I can tell you what they're trying to say is in reference to a public figure or situation that has the appearance of supporting a currently taboo person or subject. And when it's done, I find it to be the kind of thing that SHOULD have more discussion, but doesn't.

I believe the most common example is probably "enjoying art made by someone who did ostensibly bad things," especially where the range of "bad" here is kind of broad.

Like, Dave Chappelle, JK Rowling, Kid Rock, Louis CK, R. Kelly, Woody Allen, Diddy etc. are all people who someone might say it's "problematic" to enjoy their art, but that's a WIDE range.

> It seems like once your YT profile has accumulated enough history, it stops being able to organically recommend anything new or interesting.

They could be continuously tweaking the recommendation algorithm. I have an opposite issue. If I watch a random video outside of my usual themes, suddenly my feed is filled with similar stuff.

Personally, my main grief is that they promote mostly professional youtubers and SEO stuff. This is usually the content I don't want to watch. That, and the removal of the dislike count of course.

The quality content is still here, we just need to be very disciplined to find it, without getting trapped into watching the junk.

Ask HN: "Best" LLMs and foundation models education materials recommendations?
Dear all,

Today on HN I saw a post mentioning [Gen AI Handbook](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40604093), in which a comment mentioned the [MIT Deep Learning course](http://introtodeeplearning.com/). It seems that they cover some LLMs / foundation models, but not all.

So I googled a bit and found out that Stanford ([NLP with DL](https://web.stanford.edu/class/cs224n/)) and Princeton ([Understanding LLMs](https://www.cs.princeton.edu/courses/archive/fall22/cos597G/)) both offer great courses on these topics.

I was wondering that for people who have more experience with DL and/or LLMs, if I want to focus more on LLMs / foundation models (somewhat motivated by [this YC podcast episode](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmI_OciHV_8)), which of the above materials and/or other contents you would recommend, if I already have [the Transformer book](https://transformersbook.com/)?

Some context: I am a math graduate student with a 13-year-old Macbook Pro; I recently purchased a Mini PC Beelink SER5 and had some fun with small llamafiles...

Many thanks!

Tldr extension for Safari browser ahead of WWDC announcements
tldr: i've created a summarizer extension for Safari browser. it's free and uses OpenAI key. so no ChatGPT subscription required.

i've called it Sumr and you can use it for free (with your OpenAI API key)

backstory: there are rumors that Safari will have a summarizer. i couldn't wait for that to happen and tried to find a decent summarizer which would work right from the browser.

and somehow i found none.

either there are extensions that inject the summary right in the page that i am reading, which is not ideal because pages are cluttered enough these days already. Or there are standalone apps which require me to switch from browser to another app. That's not ideal either, especially on iPhone.

so i decided to make a prototype of a small app which would comply with my criteria:

- be in browser itself
- be non-intrusive
- be fast
- be reliable (more reliable than a shortcut)
- allow to share the summary in easy way

the prototype was done in a week and i was using Sumr since then on daily basis not only for web articles but also for landings with lots of clutter. i also use Sumr as web-clipper - it makes a well searchable snippet so if i want to capture a URL to a tool or whatever i don't even need to write what it is.

Sumr is also storing summaries which you have created in localstorage, so you can revisit the summary without making another request. one request nowadays costs nothing but fraction of a cent is a fraction of a cent you know.

anyways, i'd love to know what you think. also i am looking forward for WWDC to see what Apple will come up with.

do you use any summarizers already? are you just copy-pasting into chatGPT? are you making requests with apple shortcuts? or you are calling api from your terminals?

According to this article, the project cost $2.13 billion for 3.5 gigawatts-peak of installed capacity:

https://www.pv-magazine.com/2024/06/06/worlds-largest-solar-...

It's expected to generate 6.09 TWh per year, for a capacity factor of 19.8%. That's equivalent to $3.07 per real annualized watt. For rough comparison purposes, last year's contract for China to build a 1.2 GW nuclear reactor in Pakistan was for $4.8 billion [1] (4 dollars per watt, $4.44 per real annualized watt assuming a 90% capacity factor [2]).

At the staff/principal level it’s all about maintaining “data impedance” between the product features that rely on inference models and the data capture

This is to ensure that as the product or features change it doesn’t break the instrumentation and data granularity that feed your data stores and training corpus

For RL problems however it’s about making sure you have the right variables captured for state and action space tuple and then finding how to adjust the interfaces or environment models for reward feedback
This is the number one thing that annoys me about so many apps, especially apps with clear use-cases for offline use like listening to music, reading, and learning apps. I don't understand how so many app writers have never gone for a run through a canyon or flown on an airplane. I specifically pay money to SoundCloud for instance just for the "feature" to cache the music locally and somehow it regularly gets stuck clearly from lack of internet. It's probably some metric collection or some other spyware to make sure all the bean counters get their money at the huge expense to usability. Pimsleurs language learning app, and many book reading apps all suffer and all I want to do is not be bored to tears on flights that don't have internet.

The US is installing roughly 3 times as much solar at the utility level, each quarter[1]. We aren't building quite as many of these megafarms as China, but the US's solar numbers are actually pretty dramatic[2].
