I think either is a good choice for knowing nothing about the data set.

After n grows large enough, I think you’d want to benchmark your -exact- dataset on your -exact- prod hardware. Some datasets may cause certain trees to perform badly. Some hardware is much faster at memory lookups and cache misses are not as painful.

For instance, developing locally on Intel and deploying to Arm could yield pretty wild performance differences!

Yeah, the line about them is that they are ‘desk divers’!

I have the idea that plenty of folks do still use them for diving, but of course I could be wrong — it’s not a community I am much around.

If they used ocean water, the canal would use a lot more power (and possibly would not have been economically feasible to operate). Plus, the population depends on Gatun Lake as its major source of drinking water.

Of course, during Project Plowshare, one proposal was to dig a new sea-level canal through Nicaragua with nuclear weapons instead of TNT.

No they haven't? An app can sell a customer access to their app outside the App Store, give them an account that they can use to access full functionality, direct them to the App Store to download the app, and Apple doesn't take anything. Apple gets a cut when they facilitate the sale, which they absolutely do when a customer is directed to the app in the App Store and then can buy the app with a single tap (knowing it has undergone some degree of vetting and that they can get a refund if they're not happy). If you don't think that is providing immense value, then just consider the difficulty of selling software outside of the App Store. To an approximation, it basically doesn't happen except with B2B SaaS (which notoriously requires a very expensive sales and marketing function).

No, it's not a miracle; everything it does works because the information to make those predictions is a collection of latent variables and DM found good ways to convert from sequence space into an embedding that approximates those latent variables.

From what I can tell it still depends heavily on having a good sequence and structure template (or templates). It tells us little to nothing about the specific details of the folding process. To me the only part that seems miraculous is that it seems like we can predict novel structures (previously unknown conformations) using small fragments of templates rather than entire protein domains.
I honestly would not be too worried about that happening.

LTSC is likely a small but critical part to Microsoft keeping Windows in control, being able to continue to deploy Windows in places that may have otherwise moved to Linux. Once an organization starts down that path than it opens the doors for other non windows systems. It also can't have too many restrictions put on how it runs and is activated or its value plummets.

The fact is the vast majority of users won't go down this path, it will always be the power users or those with power users to manage their computers.

But frankly, even if a significant portion (like say 10%) were to start using LTSC version. That still keeps Windows in a dominate position as far as the market and developer support goes. Which is a win for Microsoft.

I said:

<< which in this case means liceses for bikes

you said:

<< Licenses aren't for road use. They're for motor vehicle operation

I am talking about what could be. You are arguing for what is currently in play in US ( in old country, for example, we did have bicycle licenses ).

Otoh, your argument suggests that I could drive the following[1] on the street and expect that the cops won't stop me, because, after all, just like a bike, it does not require a license. As you can see, the argument breaks down easily.

The issue is, a lot of the rules of the road depend on some common sense. Not an insignificant part of what bicycles are doing on US roads is not common sense. Hence my argument: "you want to be on the road, be subject to the same rules". I do not think it is unreasonable.

> On the other hand, "What is Taylor Swift known for?" the answers "standup comedy", "comedian", and "comedy actress" are semantically similar but represent hallucinations.

Taylor Swift has appeared multiple times on SNL, both as a host and as a surprise guest, beyond being a musical performer[0]. Generally, your point is correct, but she has appeared on the most famous American television show for sketch comedy, making jokes. One can argue whether she was funny or not in her appearances, but she has performed as a comedian, per se.

Though she hasn't done a full-on comedy show, she has appeared in comedies in many credits (often as herself).[1] For example she appeared as "Elaine" in a single episode of The New Girl [2x25, "Elaine's Big Day," 2013][2]. She also appeared as Liz Meekins in "Amsterdam" [2022], a black comedy, during which her character is murdered.[3]

It'd be interesting if there's such a thing as a negatory hallucination, or, more correctly, an amnesia — the erasure of truth that the AI (for whatever reason) would ignore or discount.

You might get more positive replies on a crypto friendly platform.

HN community has evaluated crypto and is very skeptical / adverse.

My recommendation is to also steer clear of the crypto space. We can take some of the interesting parts, like zk-proofs and formal verification advancements, and use them outside of crypto coin based system. Hyperledger is a blockchain platform I like, but that brands me a heretic to crypto people. I see their financialization / derivatization of everything a bad path for society to take

I haven't had time to install Linux on the Gemini yet but it's fun. Not sure it would replace my main phone though.

Thanks for sharing this. This tool is a very small subset of what I am trying to do with Watchlist.

1) In the current version, you can actually set very flexible notification schedules and use a medium of your choice (email, webpush) to receive the notifications about new videos.

2) You can create lists by cloning YouTube’s playlists and then keep track of your progress by marking them Watched/Unwatched. This is good if you’re taking a course on YouTube.

3) I am working on adding the “tags” functionality which will suggest similar channels to users based on the kind of videos & channels they’ve added.

4) I will also be adding a video summary feature which will send a short summary of the video to you.

I have many more features in mind, just need to get some initial validation of the idea.
PUC's Lua is, however, open source (https://www.lua.org/license.html), even if they don't solicit contributions, and they do accept happily accept financial support. It doesn't look like they release new versions very frequently at all (the last release was in over a year ago). Still, it appears they do accept financial contributions, so it seems like Roblox, whose market cap is $22 billion and whose offerings are at present entirely dependent on Lua, should probably consider offering at least token support (https://www.lua.org/thanks.html).

> The Digital Markets Act’s standards for considering someone a “gatekeeper” seems like it was specifically tailored to exclude Spotify while binding Apple, Google, and Facebook.

A glance at that list of 4 companies will quickly lead a person to the intuitive observation that 1 of those companies is not like the other. It's hard to see how one would classify Spotify as a "Gatekeeper" in the sense that the others are, so perhaps your observation is by design: Why would we expect the legal definition of ”Gatekeeper" to include Spotify, if Spotify is not a gatekeeper even on a common-sense level?

Some features I implemented because I like them:

- A sidebar table of contents that highlights the current section

- Glossary links that open in a popup. It saves the trouble of redefining certain things

- Bottom line up front, or starting with the tl;dr

- Dark theme that follows system settings

- Content superseded by a calculator. Here's how you calculate your taxes, and here's a calculator widget that does it for you

- Larger, more readable font on desktop

- Narrower page margins on mobile to get longer lines

- Index pages without pagination, so that you can view all pages at once

- The /uses page where creators list the tools they use and the setup they have

- Non-chronological index pages for digital gardens. I love content that gradually improves, and best-of sections for the best bits
Well, that activation was entirely offline, wasn't it? With the tech at the time, would it really be possible to stop multiple activations? Windows 11 now requires you to log in using email and that you have internet, so they could easily pull the plug on the MAS scripts. Yet they don't.
Not programming, but all the math classes that were required as part of the major. Most of the programming classes were challenging in that type 2 or type 3 fun way, where they are challenging but you lowkey enjoyed the challenge. That said, I went to a bit of 'java school' so the programming classes weren't as tough as some other schools.

Automata is a good one to give you some understanding of how things work 'underneath'. The different algorithm ones are good because by implementing algorithms from scratch you learn how they actually work and that helps inform when you'd choose specific ones. I find that a decent background in algorithms is what really separates the self taught folks from the college educated ones.

Database programming was kinda tough, at least the theory side of it, because relational algebra and relational calculus are complicated and the whole normalizing databases during the design stage of things.

Around a year or so ago, I made a new rule for myself:

Stop giving money and support to people and organizations that openly show disdain for me.

It originally came from getting tired of watching (in this case, WoW) streamers talk about how stupid and out of touch “chat” (a group that includes me) is in one breath and then ask for support/subscriptions in the next, but I started applying it to the other things that I consume as well. In this case, here we have a very clear effort by lots of people to not be tracked, and Microsoft making concerted efforts to take away the thing they want for the purpose of making more money.

It’s not feasible to be absolute in this - I still need to put gas in my car and eat, for example. But I find there’s a strangely good feeling to walking away from someone who’s making presumptions about their right to my time, attention, and money while spitting in my face, and I feel like I’m a normal enough person to be a reasonable barometer on that sentiment.

So I guess my point is, I wonder how many times a company like Microsoft can spit in their customers faces before the average person decides to not be a customer anymore.
The author is making the point that Alphafold 3 is not so impressive - it is simply regurgitating its train set, and it's not so good for inference.

I think his central point is fair and interesting. The test train split is apparently legit, as they used structures released before 2021 for training and the rest for testing. However, there was no real check for duplicates, and the success rate might be inflated by a bunch of "me too", low hanging fruit structures that are very slight variations from what we know.

However, I'm not sure I agree with his skepticism. LLMs suffer from the exact same problems - getting it to write a Snake game in any language is trivial, but it is almost certainly regurgitating - , but can be useful as well. I mean, if for various reasons people are publishing very similar structures out there, there's certainly value in speeding up or reducing that work considerably.
I think that the issue here is that every person and their grandma has an iphone, and so they are a bigger target. Pretty much every single person in the western world has a mobile phone, and the majority of those are iPhones.

No matter how hard you try to compare this to the console market, its apples and oranges. The amount of xboxes sold and the market they are sold to just pales in insignificance compared to Apples domination of the world.

Also the gaming world has a much shittier nemesis, gambling. The loot box and microtransaction scandals have overshadowed any issues with store fees. I feel if these things hadnt been so big over the last decade, there would have been much more focus on the payment issues of app stores.

As a kicker, I feel that the courts would probably argue that the console world is very specific to gaming, and therefore is a much more targetted audience. Phones have apps for everrything that run your life, hell you cant even get a bus ticket or do any banking where Im from if you dont have a smart phone. So it is much more of a lifestyle device which is required to live in the modern age, whereas consoles are purely entertainment.
People outside of the industry woudn't believe how it is to work with first party such as Sony, just to get SDK / api / documentation / forums access you need to have a very complicated process that involves public IP whitelisting etc..

> The reason is that every major retailer has anti-steering or most favored nation agreements with their suppliers

Well, I don't think that should be allowed either. Especially when the retailer has enough market power that they can bully the supplier into accepting unfavorable terms, like say Amazon or Wal-Mart.

If a retailer takes a bigger cut, it shouldn't forbid you from selling it cheaper elsewhere.
What most do (and I've done as well) is to explain that in the paragraph before.

Of course, having it directly in the code block is better.

PRC shipping are mostly unaffected by Houthis, they get to go through cheaper red sea route on lower insurance rates (at least in Feb) which they get to charge more because they have dibs on faster routes. They're triple dipping. So far global exports doing fine, costs largely gets passed onto consumers. Bonus watching global police USN fail to contain Houthis while gathering intel on US interception and sipping on cheap RU/IR energy for producer competitive advantage. It makes sense for PRC not to do anything, not that they could. Best they can do is mind their own business and arbitrage situation to their advantage, which appears to be net positive currently. E: Extra bonus: there seems to be assumption of prolonged disruption = global shipping needs to make up for distance with more hulls = record more orders of new ships from ship yards, of which PRC has ~50% marketshare.
