I'm glad they kept the Mini around. I don't have a current one but I won't buy another iMac. My current is getting to end of life (from 2015). Nothing wrong with it but it will stop getting security updates at some point and I hate junking the monitor.
Someone spelled Chrome wrong.
I don't have explanations but I can point you to one of the papers: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2309.12288 which calls it "the reversal curse" and does a bunch of experiments showing models that are successful at questions like "Who is Tom Cruise’s mother?" (Mary Lee Pfeiffer) will not be equally successful at answering "Who is Mary Lee Pfeiffer’s son?"
Do you understand that testing and certifying everything takes months and is a significant portion of the cost of the mission? And plenty of these components and closures were designed for single use, so they would have to be replaced. This is not a desktop PC.
I still don’t understand the business model of releasing open source gen AI models. If this took 3072 H100s to train, why are they releasing it for free? I understand they charge people when renting from their platform, but why permit people to run it themselves?
To be precise, a small number of very small Prolog programs can be run backwards.

There are essentially no significant Prolog programs that are reversible with acceptable efficiency.

No, I don't think that. Do you remember all the insane theories about what Trump was going to do if he got elected in 2016?

What differentiates your theory here from the millions of incorrect theories we heard 8 years ago?

For the most part, Trumps first presidency was normal. The biggest thing people say against it is generally that the US wasn't prepared for the pandemic. Well, no one was, I'm not sure why anyone would think a Democrat in the White House would have changed everything.

Can someone PLEASE try to find and link me to the audio interview with an early computer pioneer (maybe Alan Kay but I forgot exactly who) on a radio show, I think it was a British one, where he tries to explain to the interviewer why general-purpose computers are important. Like how we will be able to find whatever file we want quickly, and I think he speaks about music playing as well, and maybe knitting

Like the interviewer doesn’t get why we need it and keeps talking about how we can already do the things like find books using the Dewey Decimal system.

I remember listening to it and I can never seem to find it again. Anyone on HN know at least what the name of the show and/or interviewed person was?

It is like Bill Gates on Letterman but it was a radio show from the 60-80s? and took place for 10-30 minutes or so.

As usual the concern should not be "algorithms make mistakes" but more "who is accountable for the mistake when it is made by an algorithm"

Police making mistakes (should) be held accountable for them. They often aren't, but that's a slightly different problem

With an algorithm that is "usually more accurate than an individual", it would be irresponsible to allow the individual to make a decision right? But then you can't hold anyone or anything accountable

I'm not sure we're quite ready to be living in a post-accountability world

I would think that you'd need a model format that could be updated in different places at the same time and easily merged at various stages. Because right now, adding all that network latency only slows things down.

>reasoning and generalization

any example use-cases or prompts? how do you define those?
> This way involves a lot more mental overhead any time you need to define a structure for a page,

How so?

The "imperative logic" of the previous example is parametrized by a few node pointers. Assuming I understand your approach correctly, your separate imperative logic would still need to be parametrized by some node pointers as well.

Except because you wouldn't have direct access to them, you'd need to use class names or IDs to retrieve them. Hence you would need an extra layer to join the two parts that you've separated, which in my opinion is more mental overhead: the management of those attribute comes at a cost (e.g. naming conflict, more class names to remember, confusion between class names).

Perhaps a more concrete example (bits of code) of your approach might help make your point clearer.
There's test swabs for leaded paint, but I don't know if they'd be sensitive enough for food. At least where I live, they're pretty cheap, so it could be an interesting experiment.

I remember seeing an article a while ago, where some local councils here specifically recommended building raised garden beds for veggie gardens. They apparently found, that in cities/towns older than about a hundred years, the risk of soil contamination can be pretty high, the main suspects being lead and arsenic. Raised garden beds is an easy way of eliminating that risk.

> Then came the question of method. The resounding advice was “Get a hobby.” But I had only a month, and I didn’t think I could learn a new skill while trying to make friends.

As she later wrote in the article, it's not necessary to possess a skill to hang out with others, mere interest is often sufficient. Many hobby "tribes" (for a lack of a better word) have plenty of enthusiasts who will be more than happy to welcome a newcomer and show them around. That may be a friendship in of itself, or that may lead to other friendships centered around some common interest.

The deepest of friendships often start in the shallowest of ways, so lowering expectations at the beginning may be useful.
Infinite loops in Prolog can appear with very subtle changes in the use of code.

One of the core problems is related to the reversible nature of Prolog. Not only are some programs reversible and some are, practically speaking, not, there are many gradations on this.

The result is that programs that look equivalent and whose tests appear equivalent may exhibit non-termination in surprising ways. This is, in my experience, the rule rather than the exception with Prolog.

Yeah, I've seen that (and some of it unfortunately is not directly from missile attacks but falling debris after missiles were intercepted) but apart from some horrendous cases, the likelihood still seemed relatively low that they'd target the bar/hostel/restaurant I happened to be in, and without enough time for me to get to a shelter. The only time I was really nervous was when an air raid siren went off when I was in the train station at Lviv and I wasn't sure whether to go to a shelter or the train (I chose the latter which was good because the train left on time)
I had a knee-jerk reaction to reading this comment, thinking it was perhaps a little too snarky.

But then I went and actually read the story, and it does sort of stink of this kind of intellectualization and overdone analysis that I feel would make it very challenging to make meaningful connections with others.

> I Gave Myself a Month to Make One New Friend. How Hard Could That Be?

I'm subscribed to a subreddit that's about bringing people together, and posting events to attend with others. At least once a month we have someone post about just "getting together for deep chats", and I always sigh.

A lot of people are lonely, and want the depth of a long-term friendship without realizing that it's not a video game you can speed-run. You cannot any% a deep, meaningful relationship. It takes time and vulnerability, and you cannot really offer the latter in an authentic way if you don't have the former.

There are some techniques that help move things along faster, and of course there's lots of ways to do this wrong, but in the end, I'm not sure if you can make an actual friend in a month. You'll just have a good acquaintance you enjoy the company of, and if you both keep at it, eventually it'll become a friendship.
the problem is internode bandwidth and latency. supercomputers are super because they have insanely fast bandwidth between the nodes so the GPUs can talk to each other as if they were local.

Out of curiosity; did your spiritual life end with Christianity? Or did you continue your search?

So let me see if this is a rephrasing of your point: I don't need this sort of protection so no kid should be protected because I think that protection hasn't been proven effective and the school shouldn't need to be a safe space for kids if the circumstances of their birth affect that.

Agreed. I think it more has become a race to the bottom in terms of content quality/sameness due to it really being a race to make some level of profit. The whole side Hussle culture, and hyper capitalization of all things is quite prevalent throughout society. So of course it influences us to view things with the lens of "is this worth my time if I can't make $x/hr doing it?"

Also, as a nondeveloper i think there is room for a centralized hub for decentralized geocities-esc websites. Especially with the degradation of google search over the years, and the potential for a race to a deeper bottom than before due to AI generated content

It's absurd to believe that consciousness is in any way responsible for decision making. There's no plausible scientific model that would allow for that to take place without breaking causality. Instead, we have strong evidence that points to consciousness being an epiphenomenon of brain activity, completely detached from action.

This is what I do for my own network, but with DNS instead of a website.

I'm writing this from an older laptop, a Lenovo ThinkPad X121e from 2011. Intel CORE i3 processor, 8GB RAM, spinning rust disk. I bought it new, it was cheap and I liked the small form factor. It came with Windows 7 but has run a Linux MATE desktop environment for a long time.

From a compute perspective, this specification is adequate for what I use it for - primarily spreadsheets, letter writing and tax returns.

The main problems are with hardware/deterioration. The OS started displaying warnings about the battery so I run it off mains with the battery removed. I looked at replacement batteries but they are either woeful or expensive or both. I don't live in a hot climate but automatic shut-down due to overheating has started to become an issue. Anything CPU intensive is risky. Tweaking CPU throttling and monitoring via sensors hasn't helped. The built in screen stopped working but has mysteriously come back to life.
