I would assume Object Oriented Programming isn't very important in games. In fact I think there might be a aversion to it now.

As an aside I've been thinking lately that OOP isn't very well defined unlike FP. I think that's why there is a disagreement on what is OOP. Many think it's about inheritance because of Java while Alan Kay says it's about message passing as in Smalltalk. Whereas functional programming is just programming using pure functions. That simple, no confusion.

Not trying to be snarky, but I'd like to understand who you think the steam deck would appeal to? The original article, and the comment you're replying to seem to want pen input to do work/draw art, and like the tablet form factor (presumably for the large display), neither of which the steam deck provides.

With "only" 16gb of ram, a relatively meagre 8 core 6800 series APU, and small screen it wouldn't make sense for most software developer workloads, and because of the attached controller(s) it's not super portable so not great for content consumption.

Other than gamers, who likely don't even care that the steam deck runs linux (and in fact are hindered by it in some ways) is there a group you can imagine that would appreciate preinstalled linux so much that the steam deck makes sense over the surface pro or even a framework?
Weirdly enough I was not very curious in my schooling years, barely getting through classes. As I have grown up, I have so much more curiosity about the world and my willingness to actually learn has skyrocketed. I feel like this could be a great space for adults who are seeking to do the same. I always thought calculus would be daunting to learn(and I still do), but with AI tools I feel like I can approach it with a different mindset.

> I see AI being more of a teaching assistant, rather than a replacement for teachers

That is exactly what he says in the tweet.

I think the problem with traditional teaching, as in any skilled profession, is often in short supply and underpaid, not happy, and unable to keep up with 25+ kids in a class. The world needs orders of magnitude more teachers that are highly competent and more easily accessible.

AI could massively scale high quality teaching with still a teacher in the loop.

I saw a production of Twelfth Night without ever having read it. Also didn't know the plot. And unfortunately I didn't ever get the gist of what was happening. I have a hard time imagining how other people are able to get the gist of the plays if they haven't read them beforehand.

It's not just the Shakespearean language. It's also the constant references to Greek and Roman mythology, via Ovid, that presents a real barrier. That mythology is no longer part of mainstream culture.

SCALE doesn't use cuBlas and friends. For those APIs, it uses either its own implementations of the functions, or delegates to an existing AMD library (such as rocblas).

It wouldn't even be technically possible for SCALE to distribute and use cuBlas, since the source code is not available. I suppose maybe you could do distribute cuBlas and run it through ZLUDA, but that would likely become legally troublesome.
The example could be handled with no machine learning at all. Just use a bag of words comparison with a subword tokenizer. And if you do need embeddings (to map synonyms/topics), fastText is faster, cheaper and runs locally. For hard cases, you can feed the source/target schemas to gpt-4o once to create a map - and then apply that one map to all instances.
"Everyone does it" translates to "I don't think I will suffer consequences from doing it". It's a justification based on self-interest, not ethics.

It looks like they are applying a version of Kant's Categorical Imperative, which is roughly "what if everyone did it?" The justifier is saying everyone does do it and everything is fine. The proof is in the pudding. But as you say, if literally everyone did it, they wouldn't be having this conversation with you. So what they mean by "everyone" is "enough people that I'm safe".
Yes I know. My point was that yupyupyups said:

>Contrast this model with Tor where you have 3 hops that are selected in such a way that there is a lower probability that logs from the node operators will be combined

"selected in such a way" sounded like there is something in Tor that actively works against a situation where the hops are owned by the same operator, but AFAIK there isn't such a thing. Hence my request for confirmation that the only thing Tor does better than the Apple+Cloudflare situation here is that it has more than two hops so that it increases the number of colluders needed for correlation.

This reminds me of the following:

* Devs: We need a better language than Javascript as the lingua franca of the web!

* Users: Sure, use whatever language you want -- just make sure it compiles to Javascript, which is already the lingua franca of the web.

Keep in mind that the consumers of technical diagrams are often non-technical folks. And they don't care about how they get their diagrams. They just want to be able to understand, at a high level, what's going on in the black box.

You can either convince every single one of them that devs need to focus on better system design tools ... or you can continue to give them the diagrams they want, just using a smarter process to generate them.

Or you can treat them as entirely separate problems, because fundamentally system design tools are building tools, and system diagrams are communication tools. In most cases you can improve them independently.

Goodness, child. What I suggested was that people shouldn't voluntarily support a stupid and wasteful project like Bitcoin (especially when, again, there are alternatives that are superior in every way including carbon).

YOU are the only one talking about coercion. Perhaps that says something about your mindset.

But OK. It turns out I'm not opposed to what you suggest. By all means, let's go ahead and raise carbon taxes high enough to drive emissions down low enough that we all parboil at least a bit later in the game. That should happen regardless of Bitcoin. We can start by raising them above their current median worldwide level of (checks notes) zero. This will, of course, involve overcoming the political obstacles that have kept them from catching on, but sure, great.

I haven't run any numbers, but I'm guessing that any meaningfully effective carbon tax is going to be higher than the Bitcoin block rewards you could get from the electricity the carbon represents... and that such a tax would drive the price of electricity in general up enough that Bitcoin fees would put even Lighting out of reach of most users.

In a sane, functioning market, that would kill Bitcoin, since there are cheaper and more effective alternatives. But I imagine it'd still stick around the way it always has, as a speculative vehicle for would-be rent seekers. Seems like there's no greatest fool out there in the Bitcoin market.

I think computer science, especially TCS, will mention recent research from the last couple of years. Technically, TCS is a branch of maths too.
A physical notebook has been excellent for me for capture and increased retention/recall.

Where it falls apart is locating informatoin.

For this, logseq has been invaluable, having no set standard or way than scribbling my notes the same way in logseq, with completely invented hashtags that only I remember (yay) I never have to tag much on my own, thanks to the auto-tagging plugin, I just type the word and it does it on it's own as long as I've done this.

This kind of a work journal is more of a log, it doesn't quite hit the spot of "where do I put a longer form document" similar to what Obsidian, Notion, or Anytype might allow. That's probably a lack of my looking into it. I have seen people install a Logseq vault inside a Obsidian directory to have the best of both worlds in one storage and that seems quite elegant and simple for a solution.

I'm more and more considering a Remarkable or Supernote... as I do like the writing and drawing.

Most people that are academically inclined are self motivated and have a desire to learn more.

Most people aren't academically inclined so it follows that most people aren't academically self motivated. Therefore among those that are academically inclined it is important to provide them with all the tools necessary because they're the ones that will most likely excel in an academic environment.

It is odd that the curriculum tends to accommodate people that aren't academically inclined at the expense of those that actually want to learn.

People that aren't academically inclined should not be forced to learn, or at least forced only insofar as they're baseline literacy so that they function in today's world.
AI is an arms race.
How can you bring yourself to trust the AI? Just yesterday a friend and I asked Chat-GPT a physics question, and for some reason his assistant asserted that the speed of light was 3,000 m/s, which is off by two orders of magnitude. We know that's wrong so we can tell the AI to do it again but right this time, but if it was explaining a concept we didn't already understand, I can't see how the output would be any more meaningful than asking a random stranger and trusting their response.
Not the same kind of housing.

People who are crossing the border illegally are never going to come close to qualifying for a mortgage, at least in next 5-10 years.

But a different kind of immigration does affect the crisis, and it is on the other end. You can fast track permanent residency by investing money, around $1m, into a US business. So every corrupt technocrats, police and army higher ups, politicians, gang leaders, unscrupulous business people I know of from my native developing country own multiple houses for themselves, their spouses and kids in US and Canada. This is what is making homeownership more and more unaffordable for average Americans.

> I think teaching is one of the few roles that can't be replaced by AI

So far, AI can't replace good teachers. But there aren't that many good teachers. In my experience, GPT4 is better at explaining advanced concepts than 70% of college professors. Unfortunately, education is often oriented around this horrifyingly archaic method of instruction, which prevents people from imagining what an AI oriented system could look like.

> kids aren't motivated to do boring math drills, because they don't see why it matters to their life (the real answer is: it does not, they are not wrong).

Most kid athletes are also not self-motivated to run laps, or do boring repetitive drills, when they know from experience that these activities help them win games within the next few months. Usually need a coach to force them to do them. Same for young music players. Practicing scales endlessly does make you a better musician. But they won't do it till forced.

The primary reason kids don't like running laps or playing scales or doing math drills is because they are boring.

Where do sales people find new sales products to test?
Everytime I talk with a sales person while doing user research, they drop a sales product I’ve never heard of before. Where do sales people find all these products for their specific niches and use cases?

I’m creating an AI tool to help sales SDRs do research and use that research to perform an outreach task.

Does anyone have recommendations on what platforms help drive real usage of the tool’s functionalities for us to test its usefulness?

I’m not looking for fake users or a high volume of users or reviews. Just ones that will use it themselves to help them with their actual sales jobs.

Looking for sub-reddits or other forums similar to HackerNews and Quora.

Recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

I mean, maybe after we fill up all the rooftops? It costs a couple thousand a pound to lift things into orbit. It costs basically nothing to lift things onto your roof (the installers are mostly needed for the electrical work). For $15k per home you can deploy on 80% of homes in the US. It works and is cost-effective today.

Feedback is a critical part of education as well as motivation for learning. But the act of giving feedback is very hard to scale, even for virtual learning. Enter an LLM chatbot, which is imperfect but can fill a lot of gaps in expectation. Chatbots certainly aren’t for everybody, but the large gains in accuracy in years past make them on average more effective.
I don't understand how he missed that.

This is the same issue I have with large language model as coding assistants, since you're effectively not in the driver seat - you're acting more like a code reviewer, and I think that that passivity eventually causes critical observational skills to atrophy.
Thats a zillion dollar company right there
It's not a bad idea to try a "whiteboard coding" course such as Leetcode or HackerRank. It's helpful for interviews but also for coding: if you took CS it will help you remember what you forgot, if you didn't take CS you really will benefit. Personally I found HackerRank's Python course to be 100% fun while it sharpened my Python. (Other courses were fine but the Python course had no sharp edges.)

I think the best thing anyone can do is take on ambitious side projects, what they are depends on you. Ideally these projects are fun and self-motivation and build your skills: writing about these projects online and putting up demos is the best thing you can do to get inbound interest short of developing a strong professional network directly. Also if you are talking to recruiters or anybody else you can sound smart, capable and confident if you've got interesting projects under your belt.

Interesting. The techniques are quite similar to what one can do with Hypothesis in Python ( https://hypothesis.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quickstart.html ). Basically, it generates a bunch of test data and then tries to shrink it to the smallest example that fails the test automatically.

“The spacecraft could be grounded for months” is questionable coming from an unnamed source.

The relevant paragraph from SpaceX's statement reads: “This event is a reminder of how technically challenging spaceflight is. To date, we have completed 364 successful Falcon launches – safely carrying astronauts, customer payloads and thousands of Starlink satellites to orbit – making the Falcon family of rockets one of the most reliable in the world. SpaceX will perform a full investigation in coordination with the FAA, determine root cause, and make corrective actions to ensure the success of future missions. With a robust satellite and rocket production capability, and a high launch cadence, we’re positioned to rapidly recover and continue our pace as the world’s most active launch services provider.”

So, even saying “Live Science's sister site Space.com reported” is pretty misleading vs, you know, “according to SpaceX's statement”.
As an AI layman (downloaded Claude for android as a result of hn, just today) "why does it matter whether an LLM can compare numbers?", is rather important to me.

I really agree. And I think it's likely your detractors have not stepped foot in a classroom lately.

The issue is not engaging teachers. The teachers we have here in BC are excellent and love their subjects (my wife and many of my friends are teachers). The issue is behaviour, which has deteriorated significantly since COVID, though the changes have many other contributors.

Try asking an AI to engage with 30 kids who are on their phones with earbuds in. You absolutely need a human as a teacher.

That said, AI teaching could be a great teaching assistant.

>kids aren't motivated to do boring math drills, because they don't see why it matters to their life (the real answer is: it does not, they are not wrong).

I think you are partially right in that the dryness of much of math teaching hides a lot of the underlying material's applicability to life. I think one thing AI could do is help design rich situational lessons that could are prompted, vetted, and updated by teachers and then taught to the class. It could be trivial to create incremental difficulty of problem materials tailored to each student's progress and goal.
> In my experience, most people, the world over, are in fact self motivated.

In your experience? The world over? Can you tell me your experience. I've been a teacher for a long time. I've worked in the UK, the USA, PNG, and Kenya.

The vast majority of kids in the developed world don't really care about education. A few do, and they get great grades. Most care more about social status, their cliques, or just surviving the jungle that is school.

School is important. It teaches you how to deal with other people. It teaches you how to deal with people in authority. You can't get that at home, in front of a screen. Learning stuff is secondary. I'm sure there are plenty of people here that are not working in whatever they majored at.

> The pandemic showed us exactly what children would prefer to do, when they don't have a physical teacher standing over them, which is bugger all.

This is not true. The pandemic showed us exactly what children who are accustomed to being force-fed information and whose natural learning mechanisms and curiosity have been suppressed in favor of a generalized one-size-fits-all approach do when suddenly removed from the only learning paradigm they've ever been exposed to.

My kids (not yet old enough for school) are extremely self-motivated to learn and explore the world around them. So am I, and that never went away over the course of a full homeschool education.
