This is also why it is important that these large social media platforms are treated like public utilities or common carriers. They should not be allowed to block speech or shadow ban users or have cartels of unaccountable moderators (like on Reddit). Democracy isn’t just voting. People need to be able to freely express and discuss news, their political ideas, even if controversial or offensive. And digital public squares cannot be in the hands of a few private employees with mostly the same views.
It looks to me as if there’s a solution to this problem based on the precompilation of sparse matrices. I’ll explain. If you have a function (or operator) call of the form fn(a, b), and you know that fn might accept 19 types (say) in the “a” place and 57 types in the “b” place, then in effect you have a large 2d matrix of the a types and the b types. (For functions taking a larger number of arguments you have a matrix with larger dimensionality.) The compiler’s problem is to find the matrix cell (indeed the first cell by some ordering) that is non-empty. If all the cells are empty, then you have a compiler error. If at least one cell is non-empty (the function is implemented for this type combination), then you ask “downward” whether the given arguments values can conform to the acceptable types. I know that there’s complexity in this “downward” search, but I’m guessing that the bulk of the time is spent on searching this large matrix. If so, then it’s worth noting that there are good ways of making this kind of sparse matrix search very fast, almost constant time.
Yes and no, you lose access to it 6 months after you leave and to have access to it again to need to wait another 6 months while being in the Province. But I get your point, when you are a fresh grad it makes sense to spend a few years in the US. Though less relevant now with remote work, you can get a US salary here its just a bit harder.
No it's not. When tossing up a vr purchase it's Vision pro, quest 3 or big screen beyond. Price points all vary but they are literally all the same shiz just served on a different shovel.

Each have their pros, each have their cons (well the mvp has mostly cons being the worst of the 3 but hey its having a crack).
This is like a little humble and decent version of those "Adventures with Purpose" guys on YT. Nice work!
A primer on my favorite pessimistic scientific articles
I'm not sure I would have a lot of use for voice-controlled conversational AI, as odd as that may sound.

Like most people, I use Alexa for _commands_: home automation, timers, tell me the weather, ask a specific question looking for a specific answer, play this music. That's not "conversational", and I don't want it to be.

I use generative AI for other things, mostly writing code for me, or telling me about code problems in general. It's rare that I want output that I'm _not_ going to copy/paste somewhere.

Alexa isn't a failure, it just didn't sell more stuff for Amazon. And, well, it costs an awful lot for them to keep running. So maybe it is.
Oh wow. Does the gleam LSP still work alongside typescripts in VSCode when editing Gleam scripts in Vue files?

If so… I’d love a Svelte version of this.
> Indeed, the name "fossil fuels" was marketing by Rockefeller and Standard Oil to create the impression of scarcity

I doubt this:

"The auncient Philosophers affirme, that there haue bene founde fishes vnder the earth, who (for that cause) they called Focilles [French focilles]."

- E. Fenton, translation of P. Boaistuau, Certaine secrete wonders of nature, containing a descriptio[n] of sundry strange things • (translated by Edward Fenton) · 1st edition, 1569, https://www.oed.com/search/dictionary/?q=fossil&tl=true, https://www.oed.com/dictionary/fossil_n?tab=meaning_and_use#...

"From French fossile, from Latin fossilis (“something which has been dug up”), from fodio (“I dig up”)."

- https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fossil
> it was to sell more stuff on Amazon

Is that actually true? I cannot imagine that they are even marginally successful at that. In fact, I can’t identify what exactly Alexa succeeded at, beyond being a voice activated kitchen timer.

> that cannot be the metric that leadership actually cared about

I think the metric was promotions for Alexa employees, sort of like a lot of projects at Google.
>With a sufficiently fast compiler (and Go is not fast enough for me), you can run it on every keystroke and get realtime feedback on your code.

The lengths you go to just paint Elon as this innocent, naive guy.

The man who says "he knows more about manufacturing than anybody on this planet at this point" is actually, hilariously bad at making estimates. Tesla has even said in filings that "statements from Elon are visionary in nature and do not reflect an engineering reality" (to the DMV).

As for Unsworth, that doesn't stand up to the smell test:

If he actually believed that "old white men who retired to that area are more likely to be that type of person" he wouldn't have tried to peddle the "it doesn't mean anything, it's just a common insult that people in South Africa use .

> Musk’s attorneys argued that the tweet was not a statement of fact, but an insult.

So which is it, he believed it, or he didn't believe it?

> Of course the origin of that dirt seeking effort was that he was upset with the guy for doing personal attacks on him personally and also on the efforts of the SpaceX employees which he almost considers as extensions of himself.

This is horrific victim blaming, and a distortion of things. Musk said that he was bringing a team to Thailand to offer assistance. He was told that the sub wasn't a workable idea. But four days later, he arrived anywhere with it, and grandstanded in front of the media that his team and their idea was being ignored.

Unsworth never said anything about the SpaceX employees or their efforts. In fact what he said to CNN was that he viewed it as a "PR stunt":

> Are you willing to apologize to Mr Musk for saying that it was just a PR stunt?

and when pushed, he said that "Musk should stick the submarine where it hurts" when the discussion was on the media furore at the rescue site.

> So he considered that he must be a bad person (as only a bad person would have attacked what he was trying to do), in multiple ways, so he went trying to find what other ways he was a bad person.

This isn't reasonable, as you try to paint it to be. It's the actions of an utter sociopath.

Reasonable isn't taking a negative remark about you and making comments that you know will be picked up around the world, hiring a private investigator after you make them to try to supply proof.

And this isn't new for Musk. We all remember Paul Pelosi's "secret gay lover" was the one that attacked him with a hammer? That's what Musk truly believed too, there, I'm sure, so it was only reasonable that he broadcast that...
From a quick glance at what JobRunr does (especially running asynchronous/delayed background tasks), it seems that Restate would be a very good fit for it as well. Restate will also handle persistence for you w/o having to deploy & operate a separate RDBMS or NoSQL store. Note that I am not a JobRunr expert, though.
Some practices prioritize maintaining power and control over optimizing employee effectiveness. And I think it can lead to bad things.
That's just not true, we've automated lots of stuff that people don't like and wish we'd automate, well before AI was in the picture.

"Computer" used to be a job title, but that was automated by, you know, computers. We've automated digging ditches, planting crops, transportation, and many, many, many more things. I'd venture to say that most of the stuff we've automated has been stuff people don't really like doing.

Even with AI, there's plenty of stuff it's automating that no one really likes doing. For me, it makes bizarre server logs substantially more digestible, so to a point where I've debated writing a systemd service that listens on journalctl and creates a separate stream of easier-to-understand server logs for me to look at.

I don't really see it as "bleak", and I certainly don't view it as "worse", I think it's just different.

Most art isn't people painting stuff for the Met, it's corporate stuff. I don't really think it's terribly fun for people who do that (though I'm not sure, I don't have much experience in that realm), so if we can automate that isn't that something "you all wished we'd automate"?

I would say the opposite, actually: at least on large pure swift projects, Xcode grinds to a halt. Many of its features come with unacceptable performance cliffs which are impossible to patch.

That is not what was in the article. Older housing stock that is minimally maintained, less housing supply, increased rent for others, and inability to move to new location in the city are just some of them.
> Here in East Lansing the college kids are fond of tossing the scooters in the local Red Cedar River for some unfathomable reason.

I think that's pretty common everywhere. At least it is where I live. I suspect the reason is because people often leave them in places where they get in everyone's way.
A lot of the FAANG companies (all?) have promotion processes that are basically a combination of both peers and managers strongly pulling for your promotion. It often takes a few years just to end up on people’s radars, and that’s a few years of delivering lots of high visibility work and doing lots of tech talks and other sort of corpo-social tasks to get your name out. In a lot of ways, it’s like you’re constantly applying for a new job.
I'm curious, why? I can completely understand an "iPad Pro" version of a Chromebook. Something that is an incredible version of a limited device.

But I'm struggling to think what a 64gb of RAM with a GPU Chromebook could do that the current ones can't do? If it's run Linux, why not just get a Linux laptop?
The company [0] I work for gave a talk on this [1]. We're going a bit beyond analyzing logs because we have more contextual information about running software so we can compare different application state over time and infer whether it appears the application is experiencing an "incident".

I own a AVP, hog cranking is its killer use case. Porn on the AVP exists today whether Apple likes it or not.

Passing app review doesnt matter, there are a number of subscription websites (sexlikereal, wankz, czechvr etc) which offer UHD uncompressed 8K MP4 videos for download. It is entirely possible (and quite easy) to download these UHD videos to a Mac, mount the folder containing the goon material on the Mac as a drive on the Vision Pro (local network drive), and stream the video to the AVP using a 3rd party 3d video player; Moonplayer is the pick of the bunch at the moment.

I must say the experience is pretty damn good. I can see people getting addicted to it an unhealthy way. The sites mentioned above are only producing 8K at the moment, I think the AVP can handle more pixels, and there are new cameras coming on to the market (https://x.com/Blackmagic_News/status/1800273164867658228) which will really crank things up a notch.

There is a tremedous market oppurtunity available here, its niche at the moment, but once you experience good quality VR porn its hard to go back to the flat stuff.

I should probably get a GF.... sigh.
What would you pick?
Ha, cool, this was found literally 5 minutes from where I live.

I hadn't known about this if I hadn't seen this article on HN
I love these crackdowns and increasingly granular permissions. They did a similar thing for photos a while back.

I wish they’d crack down on advertisements in notifications. Sleazy players like Uber will spam you with ads, so you’re forced to choose between receiving ads or missing out on actually important notifications.

There’s nothing better than getting buzzed for an advertisement which you can conveniently view on your lock screen!
Sematic (OP's employer; rebranded to Airtrain?) is a YC company. Not a lawyer but I assume that would be included in "affiliated" since YC presumably has some ownership of them.

https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/airtrain-ai
That's a contract between users and HN. Airtrain is a 3rd-party.

If HN API exposes personal information publicly through their API then there is a problem.

And AFAICT the only way for HN to prevent user comments from being used by 3rd-party is preventing access to those comments, meaning a) sign-up will have to be more stringent and b) visitors will have to sign-in just to read (or scrape) comments.
I think this is a false choice. It comes from the way we design compilers today.

When you recompile your program, usually a tiny portion of the lines of code have actually changed. So almost all the work the compiler does is identical to the previous time it compiled. But, we write compilers and linkers as batch programs that redo all the compilation work from scratch every time.

This is quite silly. Surely it’s possible to make a compiler that takes time proportional to how much of my code has changed, not how large the program is in total. “Oh I see you changed these 3 functions. We’ll recompile them and patch the binary by swapping those functions out with the new versions.” “Oh this struct layout changed - these 20 other places need to be updated”. But the whole rest of my program is left as it was.

I don’t mind if the binary is larger and less efficient while developing, so long as I can later switch to release mode and build the program for .. well, releasing. With a properly incremental compiler, we should be able to compile small changes into our software more or less instantly. Even in complex languages like Rust.

Sounds like Sponsorblock will become the new AdBlock!
It would seem to me that eventually Apple will have some kind of 'identity proxy' that apps will need to talk to in order to have an app send to a real contact. It can be overridden explicitly when needed by the end user but the default would be a sort of unique UID that changes over time. Think private relay/URL's but for identity.
The link is one of the batteries im using in a project for home power wall. You are correct, 100+ volts, and 1000+amps and fire if things go wrong is no joke. Im EE so doesnt make me fire proof but can appreciate the scope of the safety measures required for the project.
In a recent interview, Ben Goertzel mentioned having a PhD-level discussion with GPT-4 about novel math ideas cooked up by himself and a colleague. These things are becoming scary good at reasoning and heavyweight topics. As the ML field continues focusing on adding more System Two capabilities to complement LLMs' largely System One thinking, things will get wild.
if this (ad injection) goes in and becomes a standard - could they argue it is their form of drm and try to take down sponsorblock with dmca crap?
Ah I see what you mean. In this case the handler should complete with a terminal error - we weren't able to finish the task in time. Of course, many types of errors and timeouts are valid application-level results, not transient infrastructure issues. And sadly, tight timeouts push transient issues into application-level issues, and this is unavoidable, I think

Stable Diffusion 3 appears to be a repeat of the SD2 fiasco which significantly kneecapped its adoption.

Except this time, it will be even worse. SD2's lack of good human generation to correct its faults could be fixed with finetuning, but SD3's noncommmercial-unless-you-pay-us license will disincentivize any community finetuning.
AFAIK they claim ABI stability only for Apple platforms, explicitly neither Linux, nor Windows. Has that changed?

That flaxseed oil certainly did not go 'down the drain', I'm not an idiot. This was not my frist seasoned pan and it wasn't my last I just decided to try flaxseed oil as I had some in the house. Certainly oils and fats from subsequent uses help reinforce the initial seasoning. However, I challenge you to strip a cast iron pan and try to cook eggs in it and tell me how you got them not to stick. It may be that I treat my cast iron gently when washing that kept this initial season on, I'm not sure, but if you are scrubbing your cast iron with large amount or strong soaps it's going to have a bad effect on ANY seasoning.

On the beeswax tip, a little searching found me this: https://crisbee.org/ which is apparently basically crisco mixed with some bees wax.

I mean it makes sense. If you assume there are some benefits to periodic face to face time, it stands to reason that some level of coordinated getting together in person is probably useful but scaling it to five days every week often won't scale linearly.
I don't think that alone is an issue. It could be seen as just commercializing the research he had done in the university setting. He would have to disclose this in publications (and perhaps he didn't). The university would have to approve (and take their cut). The issue is he seems to have fabricated results that prompted large companies to look for testing and certification and he was there with open arms (and pockets). If some other lab had come out and said "these products don't contain what they say they do" and the vitamin companies contracted his lab, then he wouldn't be in this situation.

If you have almost no net worth than put it in a bank savings account. If you have more than almost nothing put it in 401k or IRA plans - a house is sometimes a good option too (but only if you will live there for a decade, and of course location location location). Only when you have the above in great shape should you thinking about anything else more risky.

No argument from me. Trees work. Stopping forest loss is an absolutely low-hanging fruit, but one that we still cannot achieve. Rewilding of massive areas must be a primary goal. If we can't do that, we certainly can't do DAC. In general, the Earth's homeostasis (and thus, thus homeostasis of human civilization) depends on continued, robust functioning of the biosphere. The biosphere is resilient and adaptable. However, it has never faced intelligence before. Humans - more and more unfettered by their own physical limitations - will seek (as always) to bend their environment to their own particular wills - even when it conflicts with the interests of humanity as a whole. Even in a decaying and impoverished environment, people may still seek out ever more marginal benefits at greater and greater social costs. I hope I'm wrong, but we may be at the great filter.
Thanks, this sounds reasonable. I don't think the reality stars filtering for WFH is very strong either but tried to map it onto myself. Come to think of it: people's ability to develop maturity, responsibility and personality can be undermined by class conditions so maybe it is more of a class marker than I thought.

That post, while awesome (as is the rest of aphyr's stuff), is a lot to wade through to get to the point you're trying to convey. Can you spell it out for me?
This isn't true. Company executives don't owe a fiduciary duty to employees or holders of stock options in a company, they only owe a fiduciary duty to concrete shareholders. There are a lot of founders of less than high moral character who want to keep it this way.

I sent a Section 220 demand letter to the founders of this company to get transparency on the money that was taken during the secondary stock sale and they're currently fighting me on it because I wasn't a shareholder at the time the secondary sale took place, I only held options in the company at the time.

This anecdote is illustrating a real world situation in which it is being used as a way for founders to try to screw their employees, not because their hands are tied by some arcane tax law.
