The interesting thing about Loopy (compared to other SGT puzzles) is how differently the game plays depending on choice of tiling:

* if vertexes have few edges, it's easier to figure out how/if the loop passes through that vertex, but once you do it doesn't imply much about the rest of the puzzle

* if vertexes have many edges, it's harder to figure out how/if the loop passes through that vertex (in particular: just because you know it enters from one face, does not mean it has to exit through any particular other face), but once you do it blocks off many more possibilities

* if faces have few edges, you're more likely to get numbers that constrain the puzzle, but those don't do much for you

* if faces have many edges, you're less likely to get numbers that constrain the puzzle, but the ones you get have major implications

Spectre/Hat (a recent addition, probably not in your distro's version) play a bit funny because unlike the n-gon puzzles there's no instinctive memory of what n-1 is to follow the very-useful S rules (my name):

S-rule, edge version: whenever 2 n-minus-one faces touch at an edge, that edge must be marked as part of the loop, adjacent edges remain unknown (only 2 possibilities remain, an S or reverse S shape), and all others are part of the loop

S-rule, vertex version: whenever 2 n-minus-one faces touch at a vertex (not possible for all tilings), the edges that touch remain unknown but all other edges of the faces can be marked as part of the loop. Additionally, any other edges that touch the vertex (not possible to all tilings) can be marked as not be part of the loop.

Most forms of the S rule are easily shown in the "triangular" tiling by looking for adjacent 2s, though the edge version's "all other edges" set is empty.
Actually, they "fell" off the truck:

It's not so much "vastly superior", it is more fit for its intended design and context. And certainly more sophisticated.

I think dismantling an existing system that is based on capitalism and is protected by the people rich enough to keep lobbying and getting kick backs will always be difficult.

It would need to be started again completely.

I dont think the US even has the concept of a public hospital does it?
>Japan stopped being relevant predominantly because the US diplomatically bullied Japan into making itself irrelevant.

No, Japan stopped being relevant because Japanese companies are legendary in their hostility towards each other. They themselves are their worst enemy. Not to mention Japanese society is more interested in looking in the mirror than out the window.

In fact, it's not even the US who really drove Japan into irrelevancy, it's South Korea, China, and Taiwan. All countries whose companies spent more time taking on the global market instead of squabbling amongst themselves and thus succeeded at out-Japan'ing Japan as a mere stepping stone.

Samsung, LG, and Foxconn killed off NEC, Panasonic, Sony, Toshiba, Sharp, Sanyo, and Elpida. Huawei and such cleaned up what remained. Renesas is basically on legacy life support, and who knows if Rapidus won't be stillborn.

The US dominance that is Apple and Google is a result of Japan loving to hoist petards, not because the US has power and has no qualms about using it legally or otherwise.

> How do they sanitize PII?

I can't comment on how things like faces get used, but in my experience, PII at Meta is inaccessible by default.

Unless you're impersonating a user on the platform (to access what PII they can see), you have to request special access for logs or database columns that contain so much as user IDs, otherwise the data simply won't show up when you query for it. This is baked into the infrastructure layer, so I doubt the GenAI teams are using something else.
All of those are common in Japan.
After returning from a vacation in Japan, I must say that the word "irrelevance" is far too hyperbolic.

While it is true that unfortunately Japan is no longer a leader in the development of new technologies, like it has achieved to be in the past, when looking at its public infrastructure, at least in the big cities, and at the applications of modern technologies for solving various problems of the day-to-day life, which actually matter most for the majority of people, Japan is still well ahead of almost all other countries and I have very little hope that I will ever see any country in Europe or America matching Japan in certain aspects of the quality of life.

It is true however that Japan is facing some serious economic problems, with declining revenues for many people. However, this appears to have artificial causes, due to mismanagement at high levels that does not result in a meaningful change of the managers.
The free tools are already good enough. LLMs seem like they're going to be massively useful and weirdly hard to monetize. Niche experts with frequent updates?

It feels like Apple is the only place that's able to craft the user-centered brain in a box we all desperately require, and that's too bad because monocultures suck.
Why not? If you don't like it just build the app without LiveView. Having `phoenix_liveview` as a dependency in mix.exs doesn't do any harm if you're not using it.

It is quite amusing to read this essay 8 years after it has been published, now that we know about the similarities of how large language models (LLMs) and the human brain function.
The average brain does indeed not copy processed information perfectly, as the author demonstrates. It generalizes and creates or strengthens connections between neurons that represents that information. Just like how LLMs increase or decrease their own weights.
The audience in the back goes clap clap clap, chapeau bas.
Second that. I have been in the industry for 37 years. The Taylorism didn't exist until "Agile" came along around the year 2000. Every programmer was a craftsman before that.

These days, I wouldn't take (or get)a job in most software companies. I suspect that in quite a few non software companies there are software craftspeople working away quietly.

Back in my law school days I was part of our school’s Immigration and Human Rights Clinic that won a $22M judgment under the Alien Tort Statute Act on behalf of Liberian torture victims against “Chuckie” Taylor, son of Liberian President Charles Taylor.[1]

The background is the stuff of movies, Charles Taylor was a high ranking official in Liberia that fled to the US after being accused of embezzlement (principally from US contracts), he was arrested in the US and “escaped” from Federal prison, fled back to Africa where he was armed and funded by Gaddafi, and became President of Liberia after a coup. His campaign slogan was "He killed my ma, he killed my pa, but I will vote for him.”

In fact both Charles and Chuckie are depicted in the Movie Lord of War, where Chuckie was the one who asks Nicolas Cage for the Rambo’s golden gun. Their brutality was also depicted in Blood Diamond, in neighboring Sierra Leon where they were behind Revolutionary United Front (RUF) and would cut people’s arms off (long sleeve/short sleeves for above/below the elbow) when they voted in elections, because voters hands/thumbs were inked as evidence of voting.

Chuckie interestingly was actually a born in the US and a private school kid. Then went to Liberia after Charles became President and became head of his anti-terrorists unit called the “demon forces”, the rest is the stuff of nightmares they leave out of the movies.

If you can read between the lines, this stuff goes to the highest levels of government and intelligence which is another reason the ATS Act is under attack.

The news of Lynn Conway's death hit me hard because I learned a lot from her but I never got to meet her and thank her.

I learned a lot from Sussman too and I'm very glad I've gotten the chance to buttonhole him in the hallway several times and ask him a question and let him talk. I always learn something much more interesting than the answer to my original question.

I highly recommend stopping by and saying hi to Sussman if you find yourself at CSAIL.

Almost but not quite.

The rules that require perfection are not there because of actual risk. We're past the point where things are already so safe, and releasing so much less radiation than coal plants, that getting stricter just makes the world worse.
Do something meaningful. The people I know who make the most money, do absolutely asinine stuff that they don't even bother explaining to other developers. They just hide behind the phrase 'I work at X.' A lot of the best people I know are not web developers. A lot of people making the world meaningfully better in scalable ways, are not developers.

> absolutely an expected and required part of doing business

You just don't do business in such countries? Why do you want to work with corrupt regimes so much?
Well, yes, but Not all models need to be "super large." Smaller models, specialized in specific tasks, working together - and then reporting to a slightly larger model is the way to go.

Think of everything being connected to a "Home Computer" in those "Future House of 2020" videos that were out there in 70s or what not.

Another example (very rough) would be something like "Weather data gets to a small model via an API, model looks at it, updates the home dashboard, also sees if there's any alerts, if so, adds x or y to home dashboard appropriately as to what it thinks best."

We can probably achieve the latter example today. (without any significant 'coding' on anyone's part except the API owner)
bookmark your comment and comeback a year or two later. Nothing is implied. Wait.
> where you can find

By doing homework and research every day and investing only in things you personally deeply understand.

But if you don't want to do that ... passively investing in QQQ would have given you a 5.4X return in the past 10 years.

If you just throw your money across some large, too-big-to-fail companies, you could have 10X'ed easily.

AAPL, NVDA, MSFT, TSLA, NFLX have all >10X in the past 10 years.
GOOG, META have come close.

You could have split your money evenly across the biggest 5-10 companies in tech and 10X'ed.

And if you actively invest and do day-to-day research it's fairly easy to beat 10X in 10 years.

By the way my definition of "low risk" is calibrated to the risk of founding your own startup and making 100K/year hoping for a big payout later in the future vs. joining a big company and making 500K/year.

My "startup founder calibrated" low risk stock investment means:

- Reasonably high probability to 10X in 10 years

- Some probability of losing money, but very low probability of losing most of your money

- If you lose money, it's because of a major world situation, and holding for another 10 years will probably get you out of that

- You also have skills and are hireable so you can hold the stocks
Yeah, you're right. I got a little separated from the comment chain here after writing about the Nvidia Shield and what it implies about phone lifecycles by conflating that story with talking to ChromeOS. While the Shield received major kernel version updates as recently as 2 years ago, going back to the actual comment discussion around the abstracted ChromeOS userspace vs firmware/kernel/driver layer ChromeOS does already drive feature updates of the upper segment of the OS for the full lifecycle without requiring the kernel updates seen in the Shield example. Good catch and thanks for the correction.
LLMs aren't a monetizable product themselves. For the foreseeable future, that will always be ads. LLMs (and VR) are just big bets on getting ahead of future technology.

Fractions is exactly an area of mathematics where I learned by understanding the concept and how it was represented and then would use that understanding to re-reason the procedures I had a hard time remembering.

I do have the single digit multiplication table memorized now, but there was a long time where that table had gaps and I would use my understanding of how numbers worked to to calculate the result rather than remembering it. That same process still occurs for double digit number.

Mathematics education, especially historically, has indeed leaned pretty heavily on memorization. That does mean thats the only way to learn math, or even a particularly good one. I personally think over reliance on memorization is part of why so many people think they hate math.
yes the beautiful advantage of having some super-forked kernel.

the solution is to get everyone on the same kernel, which is then updatable - not hack together something that kinda works on top of a never updated snowflake

Fortunately Operating Systems is only 10% of MSFTs revenue. I'm sure MSFT cares about getting money out of Windows, but it's not really do-or-die. I think that's kind of why it feels like the OS is languishing - MSFT has found lots of other ways to monetize.
> That terminates your Llama 3 license forcing you to delete all the "materials" from your system.

Or, it means you have broken a contract (of adhesion) formed by acquiring the weights from Meta. You can break contracts! Meta could take a civil case against you, but that's it. The AUP is a document, it's not going to force you to do anything. The court could potentially force you, but that's unlikely, even in the more unlikely event that anyone cares enough to find out what's happening and bring a case against you.
If Johnny Nobucks makes an illegal broadcast using an Apple device - or rather if Johnny Nobucks makes an app for the express purpose of doing the illegal broadcast, and distributes it to 1 million other users on Apple devices — the FCC equivalent would faaaar prefer to sue 1 rich person (Apple) - with a chance of getting big bucks — than 1 million and 1 poor people — (Johnny no bucks and his users). But I’m pretty sure Apple would be able to put together a license model that makes them safe in this case, long before they were put in any legal danger.

Anyone who claims it’s an intractable is using it for a different purpose -/ either trying to keep their sweet monopoly - or wishing they could sue apple.

This is the general form of the problem underlying half the news

Oddly there are historical roots in science fiction. But always, giant
robots flailing their pincers and shouting "does not compute!!" were
also cautionary tropes against silly conceits of perfection.

(even very smart people) believing the things they sell are
'infallible'.

There's been plenty of HN readers on here over the years touting Fuschia as the next big thing to displace Linux/MacOS/Windows due to the Pure Microkernel Design(TM), mish-mash of C++/Golang/Rust in said microkernel, and the fact that it's a Google Product. All the things HN loves.
1. Copilot makes people 10% more productive

2. Company ranks their employees, lays off the lowest ranking percentage of people responsible for 10% of the productivity

3. Company reduces headcount

Rinse and repeat and then most people will be out of a job, unless stacked ranking is outlawed.
That's why the lessons are online. You can read through them and everything is explained there. In ray-tracing light most often travels from the eyes to the surface and from the surface to the lights (direct illumination). Various laws (such as as the inverse square and lambert-cosine laws) are applied to simulate reality.
Is it? If founders were getting only 10% of ownership which would be further diluted in following funding rounds, how many of them would take the risk of starting a company? On the other hand, if early employees were not getting any equity, how many of them would apply anyway because they need the job / or want to gain experience and build their network with limited risk? (not saying that they should not be getting equity). If 1% seems unfair, they can start their own company, then they would quickly find out that the difficulty / risk / stress / responsibility is an order of magnitude larger and equity reflects that.

Given the authors are mexicans and my experience with mexican people, I still believe they mean north america when they say "continente". There is a reason the concept of panamericanismo/pan-america exists to describe something that has to do with all american countries. But I agree how confusing it can be for someone living in another country where they mean continent as the whole uninterrupted piece of land inbetween the pacific and the atlantic ocean.

Catan was many people’s first exposure to a strategic board game that isn’t elimination-based.
