Hey HN,

I’m excited to share my latest project with you: BestValueCPU. If you’re a tech enthusiast like me, you know how crucial it is to find the right balance between performance and price when picking out a CPU.

What It Does:

Is designed to help you compare various processors from Amazon and determine which ones offer the best performance-to-price ratio. Whether you're building a new PC, upgrading your current setup, or just curious about the latest CPUs.

Key Features:

In-Depth Comparisons: We provide detailed comparisons of a wide range of processors, highlighting the best value options.

Performance Metrics: Explore benchmarks and performance data to understand how each CPU stacks up.
Up-to-Date Information: Our database is regularly updated to reflect the latest releases and price changes, ensuring you always have the most current data.

User-Friendly Interface: Easily filter and sort through processors based on your specific needs and preferences.

Why I Built This:

As a dedicated tech enthusiast, I’ve spent countless hours researching CPUs, poring over reviews and benchmarks. I wanted a tool that could cut through the noise and quickly identify the best value CPUs on the market.

Let me know what features you’d like to see next or any improvements that could enhance your experience.
I wonder if anyone tried applying fourier/inverse fourier transform on it

I've wondered/worried about this, too. A book I promote is Make It Stick: the science of successful learning (Brown, Roediger, McDaniel, 2014), and the highlights I remember are:

Quiz yourself about what you just read, because effortful recall is effective at making long-term memories

Spaced repetition works (Leitner box, Anki, etc)

Interleaved practice feels less effective during practice but leads to quicker learning, if working on more than one thing

I don't worry about this much anymore, instead trusting myself to remember the actually important things. If it wasn't important I didn't remember it, yeah?

I find pausing while reading and holding up (in my imagination) the tidbit or idea or concept and spending aome time with it, perhaps even visualizing tying it into existing understanding. Play around with it, and relax. At the end of the day you just need to eat, hydrate, be warm enough, have a sense of purpose, love and be loved.
Apple has VR patents filed during Steve Jobs era:

Lawyers don't know all the (state or federal) laws, they do not pretend to be able to assess all your legal risks, just some of the most likely ones.
I feel like Jobs would be wielding the axe over this, and Tim Cook's head would likely be the one rolling for flubbing the release of the Vision Pro. He's meant to be an expert in logistics and it seems to have been a logistics fail from top to bottom. Say if Cook was CEO and a mildly-incapacitated Jobs was President, Cook would be gone by now.

I think Apple were already working on VR at the time of Jobs' death – seriously it almost talks about it if you read between the lines in Isaacson's book. So I think Jobs would have hyped this to the maximum level of hyperbole like he was good at. But I think the actual product getting screwed up, released yet be totally unavailable, and now this – it's simply not usual Apple behaviour. And the car idea got canned and now this has been screwed up... and they're over two years late to the AI party and a mildly improved Siri is not worthy of a 20% jump in the stock price. I think Tim Cook really needs to go. Ok, doing a good job of keeping the iPhone goose laying the golden eggs has been fine, but that isn't the Apple we really need if the company is really going to ever do anything "insanely great" going forward.

We are thinking to add shareable badges, so you can share your progress on social platforms like LinkedIn. Is that what you were thinking about?

If you mean certifications like CKA or cloud certifications, we didn't want to tie our tests to those as learning some technology and managing it in production are kind of two different things, but if the main demand from engineering community will be mostly to get certifications vs getting jobs or being ready to deal with production incidents, we may reconsider.
I'm surprised no one has yet labeled this direction as the "axis of evil."

Yes, the block reward halves every 210K block or roughly every ~4 years, but that's independent of the hash rate. Bitcoin adapts to the hash rate so that blocks are produced approximately every 10 minutes. Eventually the total supply of 21M BTC will be reached after which new bitcoin issuance will cease.
I also find this concept fascinating and made something similar a while back [1][2] but came from a slightly different angle, where people can compete for the title text on the page, for colors and for pixels in a grid (like a small r/place).

IPC having a lot of "overhead" is nonsense (other than, like, managing a mutex or semaphore). I've used many header-only IPC libraries (this one[1] worked great on Windows/MacOS). It's way easier to get a hang of instead of jerry-rigging TCP or UDP to do IPC (yuck).

Nah, it was about 12-18 months tops. "Never buy the first generation of any Apple product" is a maxim I live by... but they purposefully hamstring the first gen of every product on purpose in order to up the wow on the second gen with little extra work.
If you are curious, like me, as to what 'mitumba' means, it is simply a local word for used clothing. I thought it had some deeper cultural meaning.
The value of the front screen to Apple is that by the time this stuff actually fits into a pair of glasses, they'll have had years of practical experimentation in how to indicate 'person is using the face computer' in settings outside of a dedicated VR room.
As always, the problem isn't consumer action but government policy:

> If used clothing is the problem, why not prohibit it altogether? The answer is that countries tried. In 2016, a group of East African countries joined forces to ban imports of secondhand clothing. In retaliation, the Trump administration threatened to remove the countries from the program that is at the core of U.S.-Africa trade policy if they followed through. No surprise that a lobby group representing used clothing sorters backed the move. The only country that stood firm was Rwanda and, to this day, its duty-free apparel benefits under AGOA remain suspended.
I am disappointed that this list does not contain any lizards.

> And languages which require unsafe blocks to write any real system code.

The difference you've missed is cultural. Rust's unsafe blocks just denote code which the compiler can't check, which if you have the appropriate culture makes those blocks a focus for human oversight in a way which cannot be sustained in the legacy languages where the whole codebase has the same problem.

Also, there's a lot of security and performance critical code which isn't "real system code" by this weird definition. Whole domains where it's just greed and stupidity versus a correct solution with better performance, and yet the greed and stupidity gets ahead as often as not. Depressing.

Apple doesn't want the VR market. Apple wants the 'cell phone but in your hands-free glasses' market. They're just stuck with a headset for now because the hardware isn't good enough.
I'm not sure what the proposed answer is. Not that anyone will care but not donating used (non-soiled etc.) textile is actually a violation of the law in a state like MA as I understand it.
I had an old iPhone where the previous owner had tried to repair it, but when reassembling left out a bracket that secured the camera connector to the motherboard. Dropping the phone would cause the connector to pop out, disabling the camera until I took the thing apart and reconnected it. Opening the camera app would just give a black screen.
As best we can tell through experimentation, trauma at least is passed on to subsequent generations. Comparing the science to discredited books that were based on the science and extrapolated without evidence is not a valid comparison. Like conflating UFOs with extraterrestrials, it takes a leap of faith to go from one to the other.
Agreed, so useful if your whole identity isn’t bash.
No. This concrete example illustrates my intended meaning:

Asus has a couple of Wi-Fi access point/switch/router combos with their own Tomato derived firmware named AsusWRT. It's nice. Because it's GPL, the source is required to be available, and a project for a derivative firmware named Merlin exists. Merlin provides additional features. One can choose to flash this firmware if desired.

If these devices must only accept signed firmware then the above becomes practically impossible and you cannot control the software running on your own device.

TL;DR: "Solvable" sounds like you're mistaking a social and human issue for a technical challenge

It's always been pretty low. People also want to believe things which feel good, especially when they're blatantly fake. That's not a technological problem, but a social one.

It's like the quote about people having trouble understanding ideas which threaten their income[1], but the payoff is emotional instead of financial.

There’s a long history of dynamic creatives of one kind or another (related to something called “retargeting” by some).

There’s also a ton of science fiction about this, maybe the touchstone novel is William Gibson’s Idoru.

I remain a skeptic of “AGI” (nonsense with transformers) and even the reliability of LLMs where getting the right answer is high-stakes, but it’s pretty much demonstrated that LLMs are wildly up to the task of manipulating people, and the image/speech/video generation stuff is either there or sees a clear path to it.

I suppose whether this is exciting or horrifying is in the eyes of the beholder, I’m generally scared for society but it’s technically very cool.
> Well most of the explanations I personally am interested in have a public and therefore high epistemic value. Since they are published and repeatable.

Are you saying that these two claims have some sort of scientific ~proofs:

1.Thinking isn't even a path to "free will".

2a. Thinking is pretty clearly determined by exterior stimulus

2b. just like feeling is.

Note: a definition for "determined by" (in percentage of total causality) would be required in the specification, as would a non-ambiguous definition for "just like".

Im researchin' as we speak.
It doesn't work like that. Backcrossing it with one of the parent species (assuming fertility in the first place) as you'd expect tends to increase the likelihood of fertile offspring in proportion to the number of generations. And that's exactly what you'd expect in any hybridization event. And anyway, mules are actually pretty special in that horses and donkeys are actually fairly distant relatives (diverged 4 million years ago) and have different numbers of chromosomes. All members of homo (supposed to have emerged all more recently than 3 million years ago) could probably interbreed and the ones that had the opportunity probably did.

It's really unfortunate that schools tend to simplify the definition of species in this way, because it's just not really not meaningfully true at all. We could "make" it true by actually defining species this way (at least for animals) but it'd radically transform our taxonomies.
Yes ... And it's spawned even more innovation. Right now the L2s are building momentum!
RunUO has an implementation of this and it's like 25 years old but still worked really well
Absolutely, industry and its neverending piggy bank have had a severe distorting effect on the direction of research. I'm a post-doc btw, right now working on robotic autonomy. I don't have direct experience of the brain drain- I'm in a UK university- but I can see the obvious results in the published research which has very suddenly lurched towards LLMs recently, as it did a very sudden lurch towards CNNs after 2012 etc.

Like you say, large tech corps clearly see big data approaches as a moat, as a game that they can play better than anyone else: they got the data, they got the compute, and they got the millions to hoover up all the "talent". Obviously, when it's corporations driving research they are not going to drive it towards a deepening of understanding and an enriching of knowledge, the only thing they care about is selling stuff to make money, and to hell with whether that stuff works or not and why. I'm worried even that this is going to have a degrading effect on the output of science and technology in general, not just AI and CS. It's like a substantial minority of many fields of science have given up on basic research and are instead feeding data to big neural nets and poking LLMs to see what will fall out. This is a very bad situation. Not a winter but an Eternal Summer.

Take it away, Tom.

The anti-gun rights lobby does the exact same thing - they have paid "experts" that testify in favor of any given rights restrictions, somehow always finding that yes, the answer is always to take away the rights of citizens to defend themselves.

It's all about the number of eyes that read the story. More people will get reeled in, if it's mysterious. People love the idea that a mysterious entity planted it in the middle of the desert. Even though, it's almost certain, that a few guys are just doing it for laughs as they read all the associated BS that's written about it.

What sucks is that a bunch of people are going to go to see it which will devastate the environment around it as they trample their way there.
Well, if you have an unethical profitable company-wide policy that's illegal in many jurisdictions that is punished by merely trying to offset your gains from what's provable, and you're unlikely to be prosecuted everywhere it's illegal, it's still a huge net gain for a company to break the law. The idea behind fines being large enough to make a company really hurt is they're discouraging some MBA sitting down and figuring out that violating [labor/environmental/financial/etc] regulations designed to protect the public's interests are actually more profitable than the punishment, so the appropriate business decision is to ignore the law.

No the reason for the disappointment was that early AI pioneers considered chess a model of human intelligence and they expected a chess-playing AI to help them understand how human intelligence works. To have computer chess devolve into a race to beat human champions using techniques that only computers can use clearly defeated this purpose.

Those "early pioneers" were people like Alan Turing, Claude Shannon, Marvin Minsky, Donald Michie and John McCarthy, all of whom were chess players themselves and were prone to thinking of computer chess as a window into the inner workings of the human mind. Here's what McCarthy had to say when Deep Blue beat Kasparov:

In 1965 the Russian mathematician Alexander Kronrod said, "Chess is the Drosophila of artificial intelligence." However, computer chess has developed much as genetics might have if the geneticists had concentrated their efforts starting in 1910 on breeding racing Drosophila. We would have some science, but mainly we would have very fast fruit flies.

Three features of human chess play are required by computer programs when they face harder problems than chess. Two of them were used by early chess programs but were abandoned in substituting computer power for thought.

http://www-formal.stanford.edu/jmc/newborn/newborn.html

Then he goes on to discuss those three features of human chess play. It doesn't really matter which they are but it's clear that he is not complaining about anyone "playing wrong", he's complaining about computer chess taking a direction that fails to contribute to a scientific understanding of human, and I would also say machine, intelligence.
Assuming it still makes sense to have some kind of outward facing screen on a pair of glasses.
I'll be the outlier here: if the AVP were $1500, I'd buy it in a heartbeat and use it for most of the day at work. The "work on a big screen floating in front of you" experience is excellent, and I say that comparing it to working on a big screen in Quest 2, which I've done for hours at a time.

In addition, media is super compelling in AVP. I'd watch movies in it, facetime with it, etc. etc.

If the "cheaper model" is $1500 and all they lose is, say, the external screens, I'd grab it up.
As a recent switcher to macOS, there are so many of these that are standard on either Windows or Linux machines. For the scrolling issue, I installed LinearMouse. I was originally using the Logitech software for this, but that would sometimes consume massive amounts of RAM, and the final straw was when they added AI to the mouse driver.

Another one was the ability to control volume of each app separately. I ended up buying SoundSource to fix this, which includes some additional useful features.
Yes, and also require publishing the full methodology for any article funded by public money. This should make verification easier and cheaper.

Ever since the Vision Pro was announced (months before it shipped), people were saying "this is a dev kit". And it clearly is.

It's just not a "product" in any typical sense. It's a moderately large bet placed on a possible future which might be here in 5-10 years. I think it's a lot more interesting and productive to run this experiment in public rather than keeping it as an internal lab project.
