Yeah, I have a wish that Apple would have been braver and pushed the watch at expense of the phone like they pushed the phone past the iPod. Maybe the watch form factor won't mature until a good enough LLM is squeezed into a future more capable watch processor.

A lot of (probably valid) criticism in these comments. Personally I find the comparison between strange attractors and hermeneutics really fun. I imagine the self-similarity in interpretations could be attributed to something akin to the "universal human experience". It's like we're iterating the hermeneutic circle... Whether or not that is something Borges intended I suppose is up to interpretation!

Politicians in democracies favor property owners because they are a majority, reliable voters and are likely to stay in the district. Therefore, the tax and political policies encourage owning a house. Many families take inordinate risks to own a house when, with fairer rules, they would rent.
One of those complaints is due to an unfortunate implementation choice.

Out-of-date cells happen because Jupyter works like a buggy makefile that doesn't reliably rebuild dependencies, forcing you to run "make clean" when anything weird happens. There are better build systems.

Observable notebooks will automatically rerun cells that changed, like a spreadsheet. It works nicely for calculations that aren't too heavy, but it might not be what you want for a heavy batch job.

Their newer tool, Observable Framework, works more like a regular build system. You can still have it automatically build when you save a file in your editor.

A second complaint, that it's browser based, is basically an editor preference. You can open Jupyter notebooks in VS Code if you prefer.
> The pattern is NATO expands.

NATO is not a loaf of rising bread that expands on its own when left on a windowsill. My country is in NATO because I voted for successive governments that set it as their top priority, because I believed then and I believe now that tight cooperation with likeminded countries is the best way to deter another Russian invasion (we've had 40+ of them in recorded history).

And this is the universal view in Europe as of 2024. No country in Europe can afford on their own what Ukraine has been through, and this makes military alliances essential for national security. Even Sweden with its 200+ years of neutrality ditched it as soon as Russia invaded Ukraine. Ukraine is by now a cautionary tale of naive belief in diplomacy (Helsinki Accords; Budapest memorandum; etc) without a big stick to back it up.

Conspiracy theories about the US turning Europe against Russia are completely redundant. When it comes to national security, no responsible government in parts of Europe closest to Russia can afford to stay out of NATO. If you were the prime minister of Finland, why would you not do everything you could to join NATO and enter the mutual defense pact seeing how Russia behaves in Ukraine?

For a very long time, both Finland and Sweden had a deep belief that skillful diplomacy could prevent a war with Russia, but what do you do when Russia starts blasting that your country doesn't exist?

Reminds me of an issue with another Paradox Interactive title, Victoria 3. They had to rework it because, basically, the upper-classes stood in the way of all the good laws and reforms. On top of that, communism was overpowered to the point where the middle class (and sometimes lower class) in communist countries were materially better-off than the upper class in non-communist countries (https://www.pcgamer.com/victoria-3-communism-op/).

God I love Paradox Interactive. They aren't even trying to radicalize gamers against rent-seeking capitalism. They're just putting out games with complex simulations under the hood and inadvertently discovering that landlords ruin the game.

> In itself the ratio is not a problem, In OECD countries high numbers can work for long while, Japan holds 250% + of debt to GDP ratio famously

One of my missions-for-fun on HN is to figure out why anyone cares about Japan's debt:GDP ratio. The country is a net creditor [0]. The US is the worlds largest debtor by an order of magnitude in absolute terms, and up there with just outside the beyond-hopeless tier of debtors. Superficially the two countries seem to be incomparable. Japan's credit position is almost an anti-US on net, relative to GDP. Why would we look at a creditor to figure out how a debtor's default would work?

They key bit here is there is no known way (as yet) to encode "reasoning".

I was a big fan of genetic programming, wrote a lot of code, did lots of research. And unlike LLMs it could end up on code that had never been written before that accomplished some task, but the random walk through a galactic sized space with atom (or maybe molecule) sized solution spaces made it computationally infeasible.

Being able to somehow code 'reasoning' one could do the equivalent of gradient descent to converge on a working solution but without that, you are unlikely[1] to find anything in reasonable amounts of time.

[1] The chance is non-zero but it is very very near zero.
Show HN: Playground for Conversational AI Semantic Caching
This notebook is an easy way for developers to try out semantic caching.

To improve the accuracy in conversational AI applications, our semantic cache is aware of the context of the user query. For example, the developer sets the scope of the cache with the system prompt (default) or by designating the cache in the client headers.

Our semantic cache also strives to mimic the behavior of human conversations. For example, if you ask the same question over and over again, a human interlocutor will not respond the same way each time.

I did experiment with using a trackball taped to the floor. It's hard to get precise positioning moving your foot. I think using the tongue along the roof of your mouth would be more precise and less fatiguing. What was more useful was a set of 9 foot switches that could be programmed to send arbitrary keystrokes. I could off load from my hands the most common keypresses I do all day, for example: pageup, pagedown, tab, enter, backspace, mouse click, passwords... along with speech recognition software you can get at least non-coding tasks done without using your hands too much.
JSON is usually used for front end-back end communication or public API endpoints, otherwise protobuf/Thrift/Avro is commonly used in the backend for internal services (that is controlled by one organization), for very good reasons. Same for HTML -- you need to thank HTML for being able to read hacker news frontpage on a 10 year old kindle with a barely usable browser. I suggest you look all these up before complaining about nothing.

I’d probably do that for a dollar.
The scale at which LLMs can do this and how convincing they can be means it can potentially be a much bigger problem.

We won't keep the bottle corked forever though. It's like we're just buying ourselves time to figure out how we're going to deal with the deluge of questionable generated content that's about to hit us.
Perhaps a decade or more too late for that.
Nonsense. There are multiple clear corridors that public transportation makes perfect sense for. A high-speed rail line from Fort Collins down south through Denver, to Colorado Springs, and potentially as far south as El Paso, seems obvious.

The Utah North-South corridor, as well. A line going from LA-LV-St.George-SLC area also makes enough sense. Not to mention a line connecting Tucson-Phx-Prescott-Las Vegas (potentially going to Reno as well). A Seattle-Portland train makes sense. A whole PCH line makes sense.
Also, I find it's usually just easier for my brain to just retype a word from the start, rather than edit and fix the typo. And R is annoying if the length doesn't match.

A lot of my Vim usage is optimized to reduce the amount of time I need to spend thinking about what to do, rather than minimizing the number of keystrokes or whatnot.

Yeah I think I got this from Sandi Metz a long time ago but it's been so valuable to me: "bad code that you never have to modify is good code."

Now when business requirements change and you're constantly sending people into that 1600 line backend function or whatever, it's likely worth it to start doing some refactors. But otherwise if I don't have a good reason to be in there I pretend I don't see it.

More than just ordering! Most floating point logic in compilers cares about speed, precision, then reproducibility (optimization can/will cause debug vs release builds to give different results)...

I think assistive devices do better as a class when some fraction of them are also usable or even attractive to able people as well. It gets us thinking about other modes of interaction and of course it brings the unit price for those items down out of the stratosphere.

Most of your points are vague, opine or circumstantial and rely on an us-and-them sense of reasoning. This and the use of first person and a plural second person do not lend weight to your argument.

Nationalism is an infantile disease. The measles of mankind. - Einstein

It seems somehow fitting in today's scenario that Einstein fled Europe for the US, and turned down being PM of Israel with insightful comment.

Chiefly your arguments about abstention from votes are totally logical: the countries who abstained are largely neighbors or economic vassals of China and Russia who do not want to poke the proverbial bear.

Ask the Chinese how their real estate market is going, and it is certain they will tell you it was an effective ponzi scheme which has burst and the government crony real estate firms ate all their savings. That money went overseas. Masking cronyism with a drum of nationalism is populist politics 101.

Russia was a great cultural and economic center at one time, but that time has long passed. Recently, IMHO it has been primarily a proxy, mafiaesque jurisdiction for globalized resource market extraction operations. As I look about my house I notice zero Russian inventions, products, or brands, save some postcards from 1900 and a jar of pickled winter food. I hope everyone on all sides can pass this difficult time and lead peaceful and fulfilling lives without nationalism.

Hi there, I'm a developer with experience building across the whole stack on Linux in domains like defense and manufacturing. I'm driven by problem solving and team cohesion. I'm a fan of picking up new languages. Drop me a line if you think we could be a good match.
At least since v5 and barring any prompt engineering, midjourney is a real prude. I would be very surprised if it's trained on porn. Try something like "women at the beach" and everyone is wearing wetsuits. Or the infamous "treasure chest is a banned term".

FWIW this is better for my purposes, with the older versions I recall trying to generate illustrations of female scientists for use in professional settings, and having to do a lot of tweaking to avoid ahem chest issues.

It seems obvious that midjourney is trained on copyrighted material though. I've seen the latest version generate straight-up "Tom Cruise in Top Gun 2" and similar.

>it's so close to zero that it doesn't matter.

How can you so confidently assert that? AI just needs to beat humans at AI research to start compounding it's growth in performance.

>It won't be the servant of the creators

Human's are very paranoid and competitive because we've had to be for tens of thousands of generations to survive. Super intelligent or not why would AI start ignoring instructions or develop a survival instinct? This line of thinking has been popular in science fiction but what is it based on? Just because something is smarter than us, it will kill us, as Eliezer Yudkowsky asserted "because it wants our atoms"? It seems like we are viewing AI through a human lens.

Superintelligence under human control is what scares the shit out of me. I see superintelligence as the only thing capable of saving humans from themselves.
That only works if you have an ultra-high-resolution record of isolated noise.

An accurate measurement of signal-to-noise is just some power levels and basic knowledge of the shapes of the signals. It's easy to figure out and doesn't help you read back your data. It helps you configure appropriate transmission settings and doesn't do much else.

It always was. Tech is MIC.
I agree with the quote, but this was code that we did modify frequently. It was still ok. 1600 line func is bad, but 1600 line file, well that's what editor splits are for. A lot of app backends don't do much other than shoving stuff into a DB and getting it back.
This is a great article. For me, a lot relates to scale.

I use notebooks occasionally for the university classes I teach. I like how I can write equations and text to explain ideas, and present interactive graphs to illustrate the ideas.

But it's quite a lot of work to set things up, and there can be a problem when components of the work take a long time.

In my research work, it is common for a calculation or a graph to take hours to days. Doing work like that in a notebook is just a non-starter. I use scripts (in various languages) along with Makefiles that "know" if I've changed my code or my data, and only rebuilds a result file or a graph when require. Almost always, I separate code that does analysis from code that creates graphical displays. And of course the text (of a paper, course notes, etc.) is written to incorporate these numerical and graphical results. The whole point is to subdivide complex tasks into smaller tasks that can be executed in an organized way.

I don't see the sense in using one tool (notebooks, say) for simple tasks and other tools (scripts, a strong editor, tmux, unix, etc.) for complex tasks. So, apart from the toy tools that I make for some teaching tasks, I stick to simple unix-style tools for the tricky stuff.

It's important to have many tools in the toolbox. Notebooks can be useful for some things, but I wouldn't want to frame a wall using an awl.
What is missing here is any mention of the "rental vacancy rate"

Regardless, any area where there is rent control , there will most likely be a sharp drop or non existent construction of new dwellings (by private owners ) for rent.
In this case, the government needs to be building the new dwellings. Thats my observation
Unfortunately -9999 seems to get lots of misdials.

This is AI. At least in the classic sense of the word, which includes "search" as a broad category.

I do see a lot of people using AI to mean specifically and only neural networks lately. I think this new use of the term is causing some confusion.
Adobe is terrified that people will start using AI to generate and modify their images and not want/need Photoshop and other tools anymore. There is already a lot of competition in that space with free or lower-cost image editors. Either that, or their customer base of artists will no longer be in business when companies use AI for their artistic/creative needs.
I found Rust easy to learn after ~25 years of C/C++. It was definitely easier than learning to use Python properly. Maybe it was because I was often writing multi-threaded shared-memory code in C++, and that forces you to think in a very Rust-like way.

Rust makes it difficult to implement data structures that rely on pointers. But in practice, you often want to minimize the use of actual pointers, even in data structures that use pointers on an abstract level. Pointers are large, following them is slow, and they encourage making many small allocations, which has a large space overhead. And if you define the interface in terms of pointers, you can't easily switch to an implementation where you can't point directly to any individual item stored in the structure.
No one answers them honestly because they know Amazon is recording and watching the responses. Meaning they are not anonymous no matter what they say. Also for small teams you stick out like a sore thumb if you speak your mind on the surveys.
Way less of a producer and more of a consumer.

And no, the biggest driver for the US Dollars demand nowadays it is status as the global currency of trade.
This is a good explanation of “price discovery” on the consumer side.

The added benefit is also that there is price discovery on the Advertiser side. A bulk of advertising is auction based, which allows the advertiser to express their willingness to pay for a given audience.

So in theory, both sides of the transaction can be optimally priced.

It's about agility (feedback loops), and enough of the problems with it as a transport mechanism can be addressed by transport encodings that we put up with the rest.

Is there a similar format that is more amenable to SIMD but has similar ergonomics? That remains to be seen. But if someone makes a compelling case then I'm sure that not only could I be convinced but I could convince others.

Code is meant to be read by humans, and only incidentally by computers. Transport formats are the same thing. HTTP is an even worse format than JSON, and we have really done very little to change its line format in 35 years. It's adequate to the task.
