FWIW, while I disagree with the parent comment, I don't see you arguing against it.

They actually implied that you should try upskilling first — but if that fails, you shouldn't be doing ETL yourself.

I mostly disagree with the parent comment because there's so many things one can easily do up to a level, and then when the going gets tough, you need to call in an expert. Eg. most people can operate a screwdriver or impact driver to fix things, but to fix some problems, you really need a trained technician (or well, an experienced DIY person, but that's not everybody).

The fact that you are not strong enough to screw in an M14 bolt does not mean you should be forbidden from using an impact driver: tools are there to help you. The logic of the parent comment was seemingly that if you are not strong enough to tighten an M14 bolt, you probably don't know what you are doing regardless of the type of the bolt you are tightening, so you should simply not do it.

The point I agree with in a parent comment is that not everybody can achieve a similar level of proficiency: while upskilling and improving/simplifying tools can get you most of the way there, there's always going to be that extra bit that requires a sudden, sharp jump in knowledge, smartness or experience to be able to deal with it.
But it still makes a profit and pays tax on it.

I have affection for them. And some of it's my fault for agreeing to things that I hoped I could do, like co-habiting, instead of things that I knew I liked, like living separately.

The motivation is that I'm no longer yelled at by the person I love the most, who I'm supporting financially and emotionally. They were right about some things, my depression got to them, I probably should have left sooner, I probably should not have escalated as far as I did, and I am just kinda having a mid-life crisis and trying to make up for my 20s being boring.

Do you think I did it all for no reason? Do you think people regularly get married despite having no love at all, then divorce for no reason? Maybe it's fair to say I only had a crush, not real love. We should teach kids the difference. Nobody told me.

We must remember that these constructions retcon the actual human experience with numbers, which is firmly rooted in counting and measurement, that always come after this experiential basis. Formal definitions appear driven by an aesthetic consensus, mostly about minimalism and axiom flavor. Individual human experience with numbers reflects human history and at both scales 'counting and measurement' is more fundamental in the sense that it always comes first, and therefore all constructions derive from it, must maintain consistency with it, and conflicts must be resolved within it, and it is safe to ignore inconsistencies that can't be expressed within it.

>I really enjoyed Meeting Mr. Kid Pix by jeffrey aka Whistlegraph on Twitter. I appreciated the sincerity of both him and Craig Hickman. So nice to see people putting effort to understand + be understood.

>This does touch on something I've tried to nail down before in regard to creative tools and video games.

>If Kid Pix is so delightful (it is) what does it mean that it is a delightful paint program? Rather than a delightful video game?

>Even if the produced image isn't the point, that you're manipulating an image is some part of it. That you see images all around you and now you're enjoying making them. It's got to be (I think) something to do with feeling agency. Video games give you agency too, but with a closed world (that's oversimplifying).

>I can't fully articulate it! But it seems useful to keep returning to.
I don't buy the whole "tools are neutral, it's the people who are good or bad" responsibility-dodge argument. It's definitely true that many tools can be used for good or bad, certainly. But the people who create a tool should consider how they expect people will use their tool, and the ease at which people can use it for bad. This is pretty much Engineering Ethics 101.
Apple would be very unlikely to want or allow that (they make almost all their money on new hardware units sold, at least for macOS). OCLP will extend the lifespan of those Macs about as far as they’ll go with macOS (I.e. to the last version of Intel macOS that gets released in the next couple of years, plus however long Apple releases security patches for that release).

That might get you another 2 years if they pull the plug after Sequoia, it might get you another 3-4 if they keep supporting the 2023 Intel Macs that were sold.

After that, if the machines are still viable, I would think your best options are Windows or Linux anyway? (It’s hard to see where a custom OS fits in).

Gore was a cheater, and the only reason he’s not remembered as such is because Americans are bad at math. What he did was as bad as Google exploiting tax law loopholes to make it seem like all their income is earned in Ireland. Except election law is even less of a proper place for creative lawyering than tax law.

But to circle back to my point above, this is why Trump was inevitable and necessary. Republicans must use the Gore standard for litigating elections, the Hilary Clinton standard for talking about elections they lost, and the Alvin Bragg standard for political prosecutions. If Republican presidents aren’t appointing judges who will look for constitutional standards hidden inside “penumbras,” they are committing political malpractice.

(And the “popular vote” has zero weight morally. It tells us nothing, because candidates would campaign differently if the popular vote actually mattered. If field goals counted for 7 points in football, teams would play the game differently.)
They really should just be an economic block and only have laws to ensure fair business and tax structures across the continent and drop these totalitarian schemes pushed on the people to take away their rights. Hopefully they will wise up after a few of these violations of their basic human rights.

> I think pretty much every mathematician agrees that […] 1 the integer is the same as 1 the real number

Yes and no.

NO: there already are multiple ways to construct “1 the natural number”, even if you restrict that to set-theoretic ones. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set-theoretic_definition_of_na.... Von Neumann defined the natural number 1 as {∅} (the set with as only element the empty set), Frege and Russell as the equivalence class of all sets with a single element (and that’s not a circular definition)

Integers typically are constructed from those (See for example https://mathesis-online.com/integers, which defines an integer i as the equivalence class of pairs (a,b) of natural numbers such that a = b + i)

In this construction, “the integer 1” is the infinite set {(1,0},{2,1},{3,2},…}. That obviously (in the mathematical sense) is different from the one element set {∅}

Rationals and reals are constructed on top of that (see for example https://www.quora.com/How-is-the-set-of-real-numbers-constru... for a way to construct those)

YES: when you decide to ignore the low-level stuff and just use the intuitive definition of reals and integers.

(Alternatives:

- don’t ignore it, but start at the basis, calling the integers something else, then prove equivalence between a well-defined subset of the reals and the integers and then give that subset the name “integers”.

- directly construct the reals without first constructing the integers and then define the integers as a subset of them. I’m not aware of any way to define the reals without first defining integers, though.

This isn't just good for nostalgia. My 10 year old has really enjoyed playing with it for years now. She hadn't even realised it was so old until I told her recently. Stuff like Stardew Valley means kids are used to the 8-bit style and don't think of it as a signifier of old games.
Because Google, Meta, etc are based on CA doesn't mean that Amazon does a promotional amount of business or employment there.
> up to isomorphism

Which is exactly the sort of more sophisticated notion of equivalence you end up needing in these cases.
But who could do the spot-checking? In many fields, there is only one team or a few authors capable of understanding, reproducing, or verifying certain research. In a two-party situation, if you pay the opposing team, they have incentives to exaggerate doubts. Often research papers are written in such a confusing way that it is impossible or very expensive to reproduce or verify the results (e.g. repeat a year-long study).

I think it would be better if there were incentives that rewarded quality over quantity. At the moment, my university always says that quality is of the utmost importance, but then threatens to terminate my job if I cannot publish x number of papers in a given year.
My friends and I set up a Matrix server and communicate through that. There’s only 8-10 of us in the group but it’s worth the effort. 1 guy pays for the server and dns.

Modern Arm chips will maintain a wide gap in performance for quite awhile.* Arm has poured a lot of money into optimizing their chip IP and it speaks for itself in the benchmarks. Excluding if performance wasn't a concern to begin with - I don't see the argument why an open ISA is really worth the performance / heat / power cost.

Fascinating to see how water has remained an unsolved problem for so long. In some ways we know less now than before. When I was an undergraduate physical chemistry student 137 years ago, it was a well-known fact that ice skates worked because the phase diagram for water said it would be a liquid at the pressure and temperature underneath the blade. Now, all we know is that that is not the case.

Nice to see the occasional physical chemistry article in HN (or, in Quanta for that matter.) Some of my professors and colleagues have dedicated their lives to the fundamentals of water; theory and experiment from gas phase spectroscopy of water dimers, trimers, and clusters to stat-mech of the condensed phases of which there are so many.

On the macro scale, water availability or the lack of it, will loom large in the coming years. My late father dedicated a lot of his life to the implications.
What is the negligent harm here?
Maybe because software stacks better.

I have tried solo game dev off and on for years and found game dev exactly the same as all other art forms - You either make it or you don't, and almost nobody makes it.

The difference being that a game is expected to ship all its own assets. The game's exe plays the game's audio and renders the game's graphics and runs the game's logic.

And I can only play one game at a time and listen to one song at a time, so why buy a bunch of games?

But a video codec works on millions of existing movies, so anyone watching _any_ movie needs a video codec. And a VM can run _any_ OS. And a network can transfer _any_ data.

Now we're talking about products that complement each other instead of only competing. Sometimes I've had more fun writing tools, because the sum of my own hammer and a world of nails is greater than trying to make my own nails from scratch.

So ah, don't go into game dev lol. I nearly did, then I got a generic CS degree and made lots of money doing software that solves existing problems and doesn't try to create a standalone world.
Nice work.

The balance of evidence seems to suggest that training on model outputs leads to a significant degradation in model accuracy, some have even called this "model collapse." I'm not going to say it's impossible that this situation can improve, but your intuition that high quality generated outputs are an obvious means to bootstrap the next leap forward in model quality is definitely a contrarian position as I understand it
Helpful comment! If I could pick your brain...

I'm looking at a green field implementation of a task system, for human tasks - people need to do a thing, and then mark that they've done it, and that "unlocks" subsequent human tasks, and near as I can tell the overall task flow is a DAG.

I'm currently considering how (if?) to allow for complex logic about things like which tasks are present in the overall DAG - things like skipping a node based on some criteria (which, it occurs to me in typing this up, can benefit from your above advice, as that can just be a configured function call that returns skip/no-skip) - and, well... thoughts? (:

IBM's InstructLab: A New Era for AI Model Creation and Performance
I'm not quite understanding how different prompts for different models reduces the attractiveness of a framework. A framework could theoretically have an LLM evals package to run continuous experiments of all prompts against across all models.

Also theoretically, an LLM framework could estimate costs, count tokens, offer a variety of chunking strategies, unify the more sophisticated APIs, like tools or agents–all of which could vary from provider to provider.

Admittedly, this view came just from doing early product explorations, but a framework was helpful for most of the above reasons (I didn't find an evals framework that I liked).

You mentioned not having this problem yet. What kind of problems have you been running across? I'm wondering if I'm missing some other context.
Have you seen open source authentication products like SuperTokens or Keycloak?

We have a new project (~ 6 years now) where we implemented a queue with RabbitMQ to temporarily store business events before they are stored in a database for reporting later.

It absorbs the peaks, smoothes them out, acts as a buffer for when the database is down for upgrades, and I think over all these years we only had one small issue with it.
