As you imply, drawing from observation is a skill that is best taught in person. The students mostly learn from being corrected, which I do directly to their drawings.

However, I did put together some material on the subject. I'm not sure how useful it is (some of it could have been better written).

Drawing 100 years ago is pretty much the same as now. Here are a bunch of great (free) books all over 40 years old, yet still valid.

My approach is not significantly different to that which most competent drawing teachers would employ. However, I believe that my use of language is a bit more consistent and exact than most artists, who tend to be a bit hand-wavey in their language usage. Practices that are termed one thing in 'book a' are termed something completely different in 'book b'. I learned the value of consistency and exactitude from collaborating with computer engineers, which is one reason I like lurking in HN.
Your problem is you're watching the news, don't do that. (The rate of news articles is pretty much never connected to how much crime there actually is.)

NYC is more or less the safest place in the world; it's certainly the safest place in the US. And the remaining danger is getting hit by cars, not in the subway.

Here I was hoping that there would be some kind of regulatory framework or protections put in place for AI before it became smart enough to actually take over the world.

Being able to say "you are wrong, taking over the world is a bad idea" and have the model respond with "oh you are completely right, I am very sorry for that" was our first line of defense.

I wonder if this model will argue insistently that you are wrong if you try and tell it that 1+1=3, and if so, whether that expands to philosophical issues such as the model arguing back at you based on its formed opinions on ethics and history.

> If you're a doctor, and you apply for a hospital job, do they at least reply to acknowledge your application? Do they then send a rejection letter if you're simply 'not what they're looking for'? If they then start to consider you as a candidate, do you have to 'trial cure' a couple of patients, take a cell-function exam, and endure 6 rounds of other interviews and screens before getting on the final shortlist?

I think this shows a better version of trade school is needed for software developers; computer science degrees don't seem to be enough to have confidence in someone's abilities. At least doctors have rigorous schooling and training, arguably even a bit too long and expensive.

Switching to steel means satellites don't demise and hit the ground in larger chunks, something that the FCC has actively avoided in their constellation licensing for fear of hitting things.

For example the 4 reaction control wheels for attitude adjustment where you actually want mass, were specifically moved to Al on starlink so that they _would_ burn up on reentry.

I don't know how you weigh the risk of environmental effects vs occasionally landing a sat on something, or someone. I guess an actuary somewhere has a table for that.
Bluffing is the wrong word. It assumes that the LLM is capable of knowingly telling falsehoods.

Instead it always has full confidence in whatever it's last "thought" must be correct, even when asked to double check it's own output, even in a loop. It'll either doubledown on a falsehood or generate a new result and have complete confidence that it's last result was wrong and that it's new result must be correct, even though the initial confidence was the same.

"Bluffing" certainly isn't the right word.

"Hallucinating" fits much better.
Fair enough. I did perceive it as satirical, but that's not a logical conclusion.

Because Linux, the kernel, as well as other Unixes, don't have the right abstractions to easily build these. And there's all the old cruft.

Just look at what Android had to do to implement a secure platform with somewhat of a well defined non-1980's OS API - it basically removed the Unix part of the OS and built a Microkernel-like thing on top of it.

Driver support would be a very important part though.

Can you get insurance against software system failure? If you cn, surely the providers of said insurance will take a keen interest?

This is certainly plausible for early hardware but I’d wait for more widespread confirmation before treating it as anything more than a fluke. It’s very easy to imagine that a new platform might have something like power management or driver issues which can be resolved without touching the hardware.

This is a nice list, thanks!

No idea how complete that is, but it lists roughly ~160 companies. Which is nice, but according to [1] there are about 71K startups in the US. (Of course both of these counts might be wrong but let's go with these numbers.)

So about 0.2% of startups have extended exercise windows. Not a lot ;-(

I think this mindset comes from a misunderstanding of the cost of capital.

Buying and owning a house is not free - even if the entire thing had zero upkeep and maintenance. The money spend on the house (lets say 1m) has a cost associated with the foregone interest/income it could have earned you elsewhere (opportunity cost, basically)

Buying a 1m house, even if you borrow no money, costs you a net 50kpa (currently) in foregone, zero-risk interest income from a bank or the government. Them renting it out is just trying to earn a return on that investment (which is just putting upfront capital and hoping to earn more than it costs).

Sometimes they lose (I think housing in many places costs significantly more in interest than rental return right now), but largely they've done well because supply is constrained in most places leading to bidding up of prices. It's just a supply issue - not enough housing for everyone. There's no reason housing can't be both an investment and a place to live - Do you think farmers grow and sell food out of the goodness of their hearts?

Most places make it nigh-impossible to just chuck up a building for people to live in - local governments want permits, you have to provide minimum levels of parking, whatever. Even granny flats will get you in trouble in a lot of places. That's the problem, IMO. In few other fields is it so hard to actually invest in building more of something.

Well-meaning regulations that enforce a minimum standard of housing do have drawbacks as well - eg. minimum 50sqm apartments. It means people that might just want a single room apartment to live in have to buy (or rent) more property than they want or need. I think these make sense for things that are definitely net good (eg. insulation, efficiency standards, etc) for everyone as a whole, but less so when they translate into a oversized housing, excessive parking, and so on - things that add expense that might not be used.
I went to grad school for architecture at the end of the last century.

Tim was a classmate. He was and remains paralyzed from the neck down. At the computer Tim manipulated a trackball with a tool — rod connected to a flat mouth piece.

This is different, but I am not sure it is better. The trackball and stick were mostly mechanical, reliable, and straightforward to repair.

No special software. No need to charge. Tim’s tools were as reliable as a mouse. Not much of a choking hazard because of the stick either.

I’m not saying the mouth-pad is a toaster fridge. Only that it has technical complexity rather than mechanical simplicity.
Are you claiming you're having a loss based on the cash outflow that is going towards paying down the mortgage principle? Because otherwise property taxes, HOA protection money, mortgage interest, and the rest of your expenses are all deductible. If you had an actual loss on your schedule E, you'd be getting a tax break from subtracting (not just deducting) that loss from the rest of your income. So if my suspicion is correct, you are not actually "losing $1k a month" but rather that $1k plus your profit is essentially going into a non-optional savings account.
American government is built on the idea that government is intrinsically both malign and incompetent. That's why they have broken it up into infinite pieces - so that every section of government is constrained by every other section, and then they complain that no section of the government does anything. Why can't the city fix public transit? Well, maybe you should ask the separately funded and elected Transit Authority. Oh, they say there's no point running buses along roads with one house per mile? Well, maybe you should ask the city to upzone. Oh, they say they can't upzone because there's no infrastructure for electricity or sewer? Well, maybe you should ask the Public Utility District. And then they would need schools? That's a problem for the Local School District. But the school district can't afford to run school buses everywhere? Well, that's nothing to do with the Transit Authority! Perhaps you should burn it all down, which will be easy because the levy to fund the local Fire Department failed and they can't afford trucks.
> They are effectively nothing like the first, second, or even third generation consoles that had fairly unique hardware, desirable exclusives and so on.

I am not sure how you are counting them, but the second generation were the Atari 2600 and its peers, and the third generation were the NES and the Master System. Consoles had unique hardware until the 7th generation (PS3 and X360).
It seems like a good fix for games with magic systems would be to allow players of appropriate wizarding classes to build portals on available land that go from one place to another. Your towns can stretch infinitely in player controlled non-euclidean spaces. The wizards might charge and compete with one another for tokens that allow passage through various portals. Players could trade and buy tokens to eventually do the equivalent of walking from Gerlach Nevada, through an alley in New York, across a road in LA, take a ferry from San Francisco up to Sausalito and pop into Gerlach Wisconsin, or whatever the appropriate local variant might be. Portals might require regular maintenance, the carrying of materials between sides without use of a portal to keep them running. Degradated portals could appear visibly damaged and do fun things like teleport people to the wrong location, or even locations otherwise unavailable to the main map, making an industry of building and ruining portals, with long distances costing the most but opening availabilityto the largest number of liminal spaces.

Sounds like overreaction to a bit of boyish banter. When boys are like 2-3 years old, as soon as they learn to talk and learn the names of the private parts, they start making penis, fart, butt, and poop jokes, etc. It’s just a basic fascination.

Elon is a troll, obviously. It’s just part of his makeup. He likes to troll people, he likes to troll the internet. It’s just a fascination of his. ‘I’m gonna press this button and see what happens.’ That’s not necessarily a bad thing. The thing that makes him a troll is not disconnected from the things that make him able to do things that really nobody else could do. He has a certain amount of audacity, defiance, self-assuredness, reality distortion field…

But I don’t think he’s hurting anyone with any of this trolling.
There's a difference between tracking attention locally for driving as you suggest, and doing so for advertising and mobile device security, which is what the conversation was previously about.

While I consider your example valid in a vacuum, it poses a substantial privacy and financial risk in the real world. If a car that tracks attention also phones home, your insurance carrier may raise your rates or cancel your plan for occasional glances away (sneezes, children, etc), regardless of an actual problem on the road. Such measures ought to only exist locally within a car, but I have absolutely no faith that it will be implemented that way given the current data shared along those lines.

How clear is it that someone can enforce the title conveyed by one of these instruments in order to physically take possession of the gold? Would the owner have to somehow prove provenance or chain of title offline?

If it's at all unclear, then you can probably do 99% as well with totally conventional paper certificates and records kept by human custodians. Or a non-blockchain database maintained by human custodians.

How easy is it for someone to misstate the location, quantity, or purity of physical gold in this system and successfully fool other people?

> Should the int be converted to a double before the operation, should the double be converted to int before the operation, or should the result be converted to an int or a double?

Isn't it pretty evident that implicit conversions should only go from integer to floating point?

That's a reasonable worry, but "Int" in general is only safe to store 32 bits, and 32 bit integers will losslessly convert to doubles.

Who is going to buy a house occupied with tenants and a negative $1k/month cash flow?

Only someone who would pay less than the same house without tenants, which might not be enough to cover the outstanding balance of the mortgage, which means a short sale, which means you need the lender to approve (which they won’t).

But sure, the GP is “crying”.
> There is basically 0 risk involved in renting besides...

Renting reduces your control over the physical structure that you live in. You can't do significant maintenance and you can't upgrade it. This might mean you have to put up with a lousy fridge and oven, or it might mean that there's actually mold everywhere and your choice is to suck it up or move. That's great when the other available options to move into are either too expensive for you, have defects similar to your mold issue, or are too far away for you to keep your job. It also reduces the stability of your living situation, in places like America where a ten year lease is not standard. If you have children, this increases the risk that they will have to change schools during the year, and a forced school change is supposed to cost approximately six months of education.

Is inference speed an issue for you?
the comment you are replying to already explains that people sometimes use the term 'dispersion' in that way, but puts it in a broader context:

> but it's true that from time to time people do use the term 'dispersion' to refer to separating light into individual frequency components with a diffraction grating. it just isn't the normal meaning, and it isn't one i'd seen before

for the normal meaning, see for example the page dekhn linked above to explain it, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_(optics)

> In optics and in wave propagation in general, dispersion is the phenomenon in which the phase velocity of a wave depends on its frequency;[1] sometimes the term chromatic dispersion is used for specificity to optics in particular. (...) In optics, one important and familiar consequence of dispersion is the change in the angle of refraction of different colors of light

diffraction gratings do not in any way depend on this phenomenon; they just replicate the consequence through a different mechanism. so where dekhn said, 'The fundamental physical mechanism is known as "dispersion"', linking to the same page i linked above explaining the mechanism that diffraction gratings do not use, they were mistaken

I meant what I said. The ones I know working on safety and alignment are highly intelligent on all those dimensions you mentioned. They are really smart yes, but also have high emotional IQs and are deeply committed to doing the right thing on every dimension they can. But they’re still children. And I mean they’re in their 20’s.

Their confidence outweighs their experience. That’s what I mean by hubris, not that they’re on spectrum savants playing with power they don’t understand and can’t. They fully can appreciate the consequences of their work, but they don’t have the world experience to understand what in their work will fail and what will work.

One day they will be people I trust can be responsible for the decisions they’re making. And hopefully by that time it’ll be the time their decisions really matter a lot. But right now they’re just too young.

Negative cash flow is usually situation dependent. Is the OP negative because they got a mortgage for 100% of the price at 8%, hoping to quickly flip or refinance at lower rates? Ok - I'll pay cash, and without massive interest payments, I'll be positive $1k/month immediately.
