>Maybe so, but 50 years, a hundred years from now, do you want to be doing the same things as today?

First, I want to survive the next working years, without me and my family starving. I could not give less f... what they'd be doing 100 years from now, if that means being unemployable now...

Then, to answer your question, in many cases, sure, I want to be doing the same things as today. Even better if we regress in some areas, and we do the same things as 20, 30 or even 50 years ago. I could live in a society without smartphones for example (and without even more addictive and worse replacements)...
They're internal to the companies. Our server racks are named after Futurama robots, but our customers will never see that.
Hm, thinking about this further, this would need dithering to work properly (which probably works fine, but the perceived quality difference would mean pixel density comparisons aren't apples-to-apples)

Presumably, you get to control hue and brightness per-pixel. But that only gives you access to a thin slice of the sRGB gamut (i.e. the parts of HSL where saturation is maxed out), but dithering can solve that. Coming up with ideal dithering algorithms could be non-trivial (e.g. maybe you'd want temporal stability).
I'm not trying to tell you how to market your music, you do you, but with services like Tune Core, Distro Kid, etc that allow you to submit your music to every single music service in existence with one click, why wouldn't you just put your music everywhere? You may be surprised at just how big of a community there is for your niche genre on Spotify and elsewhere!

Anyways, I agree that the Spotify requirement is artificially limiting, especially if this is targeting up and coming artists. They should probably support all of the biggies (Spotify, Apple Music, Youtube, etc) as well as indies like Sound Cloud, Band Camp, etc.
The Augustow Canal[0][1], on the UNESCO World Heritage tentative list, is a nice one that was hailed as a technical marvel in its day. It was originally constructed as the result of high Prussian customs on the Vistula following the partition of Poland. (The Vistula was the principal trade route for Polish trade for centuries. The wealth of historic ports on the Vistula river are a testament to this fact, with something like 60% of Polish grain exports, the most lucrative export by total revenue, taking this route. The partitions divided the river and its ports between Russia, Prussia, and Austria, hence why the canal was built in the Russian partition).

Today, it is a nice scenic waterway for kayaking and other vessels.

Fixed that for you. But not really.

Open source software exists because a community sees a use for it. Just like any other competitor, it competes on features, including price, support, and total cost of ownership. Free software doesn't necessarily mean no cost to deploy and support.

I agree with you and my friend said something similar.

During dot-bomb we knew. It was nuclear winter for tech. I was very lucky to get a quick offer from the owner I knew at a small company that was still doing OK (and was probably overconfident that was going to continue) when I was laid off.

Incidentally, I was creating an image for a slide for a talk a few weeks ago, showing off HTML circa 1996 and decided to do it in Windows 95 (which is what I used to write my first web pages when I was 12) and it was a lot harder than I thought it would be (mostly because the intricacies of what HTML versions were supported in the included browser versions of the Electron emulator I was using), to recall what tags did and didn't work.

But I credit HTML with everything for me, as far as computer programming is concerned. Having a way to express markup in a text editor and see the results on a web page was life-changing.

Love to see first graders doing this now!
The proof that it's intentional is that Yamanaka factors work. They reset any cell, no matter the age or the specialization, to a perfectly young stem cell. Another proof is that heterochronic parabiosis works. Transplanting an old organ into a young body rejuvenates the organ as well. High concentrations of exosomes taken from young blood also have a rejuvenating effect.
I actually did that last week (parse a json object from an http response). But I used a well known library for the language we use around here. I mean, I also rely on automatic GCs and compilers… and while I saw the theoretical side of such topics years ago in the university, I cannot implement a single algorithm related to them (because I don’t do that on daily basis)

It's scary how certain things in tiny amounts can have huge effects on humans:

- ricin (1mg or less can be lethal)

- insulin (.05 mL can easily put you in a coma if you don't eat enough sugar to cancel it out)

- countless other toxins, poisons, chemical compounds

- viruses or bacteria since they can multiply might be smallest things of all that can hurt humans

I would like to amend your comment:

> The economy isn't a zero sum game and WELL THOUGHT OUT infrastructure projects generally pay for themselves in the long run many times over. I think we are too interested in today's budget to pay attention to historically valuable things.

Consider the megaports in China's Belt and Road Initiative that will never turn a profit. Consider Neom Line, which is unlikely to ever be worth the cost. Consider. Consider the Tacoma Narrows bridge, which needed to be rebuilt because it collapsed months after construction.

Infrastructure that many people need and demand in situ often produce far more wealth than free market alternatives when executed with a base level of competence.

Chinese Megaports served no economic demand and are functionally modern day land grabs. Neom is zany and funded by literal royalty with no real plan. The Tecoma Narrows did insufficient testing and learned a base engineering principle.

Two these failures were people on the outside pushing an idea the inside didn't want and the third failed because people doing the work didn't know something critical.

Earthquake proofing the midwest is likely to be both of these failures. The people here don't want it. We wouldn't know how to do it even if we did because why the earthquakes happen in the Midwest is an open scientific question. Knowing why could well change the remediation that plate tectonic induced earthquakes and presuming it doesn't we without testing and certification we don't even know how to reliably hire earthquake proofing engineers.

None of that is to say that it is impossible to do something like earthquake proof Omaha, but being possible doesn't make it a good idea. Omaha doesn't seem to want it. If it is forced on Omaha will they hire good engineers or will they hire the lowest bidder that just pencil whips everything? If they do hire good engineers will that matter if these midwest earthquakes are fundamentally different in some unknown way from CA quakes? If the remediation the good engineers implement do work then do they actually save lives and money? If there are no earthquakes, which is possible, then of course they won't. What if a 5.0 quake hits Omaha with and with and without the remediation what really is the impact?

If I could spend money on laws and engineers that might have a hypothetical payoff sometime in the next 50 years and it might save tens of lives I would be a fool if I didn't do something about education, tornadoes, train derailments, or flooding with that same money that would almost certainly save lives next year.
Kaspersky is a really talented group.

Their talk at CCC about discovering a zero-click attack, managing to capture all the stages of the attack, finding four zero day vulnerabilities and discovering a previously unknown spyware that was there for years was a rollercoaster of a ride.

In general I see more and more websites switching to using the actual domain to bring in ads. For example, IMDb hosts ads on the actual domain (no subdomain) making it impossible to block that script with DNS blocking.

How to build a personal webpage from scratch (2022)
This is basically my end game strategy for puzzles once all the parts with distinguishing patterns has been solved and you’re left with e.g. a bunch of blue sky pieces. It’s a bit dull, especially the sorting st the beginning, but it gets satisfyingly faster as you near the end and the number of candidates gets progressively smaller.
Probabilities are very hard to think about so I personally relate back to driving. We do it every day but admit it is dangerous and take precautions like requiring testing and licensing, regulate the manufacture of vehicles and inspections and set standards for roads and provide emergency support. Anything more dangerous than driving is of high concern to me and probably requires many additional precautions. Anything less and I try to not get that worked up about it.

With the above in mind, my comment basically can be summed up as 'It is easier to see the issues in the PNW and the PNW isn't doing what is needed to avoid them so how can we expect better preparation elsewhere?'. Pointing out issues in the PNW is like shooting fish in a barrel. Everyone in Ocean Shores is going to die and that is the tip of the iceberg. Estimates vary but a 1 in 4 chance in the next 50 years of a cascadia event is not a ridiculous estimate. With the preparation in place it is not unlikely that tens of thousands will die in the first few hours, if not even worse than that. The emergency response won't be able to help because the region impacted is massive and the first responders will be part of that region so even they will need to be rescued. The scale of this dwarfs any natural disaster the US has ever faced and reaches a point that it could hurt the country for years after. Bottom line, Cascadia alone deserves a bit more respect than we give it so I doubt I was 'slandering their ability to be rational' when I said we don't take these things seriously.

I often wonder about this. I'm older (50s!), and fondly remember my younger years, with a vibrant social circle. However, things are different now, the vibrant social circle is gone. But is this because we were all young and energetic back then? Or, was it a different social era (pre-Internet)?

... Or, am I just reminiscing about my "glory days", inventing a robust social circle, ignoring the fact that I was the same person then that I am now, with basically the same social life?

It's nice that you advertise your business here but for a passionate child this is boring.

I've never had a good trip indoors. My brain has a knack for staying grounded by familiar settings, so I hardly even experience the trip. Put me outdoors in the dark and my brain can be stimulated by natural sounds which are not nearly as predictable as those I find indoors. I think it has to do with processing stimuli that I can't instantly attribute to something I know very well. I am also normally hypervigilant, which may come into play since I think familiar settings inhibit my ability to fall under the effects of intoxication somewhat. I am also much more likely to try and sleep off any overwhelming feelings if I'm in the aafety/comfort of a house vs the middle of the forest. Setting doesn't necessarily mean the 'safest' space for you since my own home negatively effects the overall experience.

Having someone who is experienced, sober and willing to guide you for hours (lots of trust) is crucial since the opti.al setting may not be the safest setting.

TL;DR - I struggle to trip or even enjoy a trip indoors. I have always felt shrooms work best when you let them help you attune to nature. Listening to the wind, trees, insects, etc... it's like washing your eyeballs with kittens.
LLMs don't only hallucinate because of mistaken statements in their training data. It just comes hand-in-hand with the model's ability to remix, interpolate, and extrapolate answers to other questions that aren't directly answered in the dataset. For example if I ask ChatGPT a legal question, it might cite as precedent a case that doesn't exist at all (but which seems plausible, being interpolated from cases that do exist). It's not necessarily because it drew that case from a TV episode. It works the same way that GPT-3 wrote news releases that sounded convincing, matching the structure and flow of real articles.

Training only on factual data won't solve this.

Anyway, I can't help but feel saddened sometimes to see our talented people and investment resources being drawn in to developing these AI chatbots. These problems are solvable, but are we really making a better world by solving them?

> LLMs are text completion engines and can't really do math

It blows my mind that there are people on HN that don't know this.

LLMs are basically Markov Chains on a massive dose of steroids. It looks at the last $context_window tokens and decides what the next token should be. They just work differently in that a neural network creates more "fuzzy" matching than a Markov Chain, which is purely statistical.
> 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.

I'd recommend raised beds to anyone who lives in a suburb or city that's even a few decades old. The particulates and oils washing off the street and down roof shingles alone introduces plenty of contamination. Very rainy regions like the Pacific Northwest have to build rain gardens [1] everywhere to filter out baseline levels of suburban pollution, otherwise their water gets really bad.

With two wavelength-tunable LEDs you should be able to cover the entire CIE colorspace.

That's because the points on outer edge of CIE are pure wavelengths and you can get to any point inside by interpolating between two of them.
This topic was extensively discussed on HN at the time (which was just a couple of months ago) and you've been posting many old articles about it. It's repetitive and the goal of the site is interesting things to read and discuss not maximizing points. You can easily do both, though, by finding different interesting things to post.
There are levels of security, or more like levels of risk one can take on. For the home environment, I'd agree that for most wildcards aren't much of a risk. For an SMB, LE with individual certs may be ok. For a multinational bank or similar, yes absolutely HSM on an airgapped CA seems like a better approach.
:3 so cute it made my day a bit happier thanks for posting
It is interesting that one of the best ways to deal with math problems in LLMs is to have it write Python code to solve the problem. It is good at writing that kind of fairly straight-forward Python, and Python is good at accurately being able to do math. It does mean that you need to safely implement a sandboxed Python interpreter to do the calculations though.
Makes sense. We've come a long way since a-patchy-httpd/server. Curious how the new branding will turn out.
Do you happen to have a link to an example or explanation?
If synchronous IO is blocking your CPU bound application code, this won't help you. My made up example was not about concurrent writes, and the concurrent reads I mentioned were not my main point. For all I care, you could have 100 different databases or even normal files in this scenario and you read them.

I was wondering how the async wrappers around SQLite work when SQLite itself only has synchronous IO. At least for the Rust example by Op, the async part is only used when awaiting a queue, but the IO itself still has the potential of blocking all your application code while idling.
You don't need to produce children to have purpose. This advice is reckless.

I'm not sure why saturation couldn't be controlled.

I probably missed something in the article, though I do see ex. desaturated yellow in the photographs so I'm not sure this is accurate.

If you can't control saturation, I'm not sure dithering won't help, I don't see how you'd approximate a less saturated color from a more saturated color.

HSL is extremely misleading, it's a crude approximation for 1970s computing constraints. An analogy I've used previously is think of there being a "pure" pigment, where saturation is at peak, mixing in dark/light (changing the lightness) changes the purity of the pigment, causing it to lose saturation.
Whether you'd call "composition-first" is probably asking for a big argument about what "composition first" really means, but Go is certainly a language that syntactically privileges a particular type of composition over inheritance. It doesn't even have syntax for inheritance, and frankly even manually implementing it is rather a pain (best I've ever done requires you to pass the "object" as a separate parameter to every method call... and, yes, I said that correctly, to every method call).

I'm not ready to try to stake a position on the top of some "composition first" hill because the syntactic composition it supports is not something I use all the time. It's an occasional convenience more than a fundamental primitive in the language, the way inheritance is in inheritance-based languages. Most of the composition is just done through methods that happen to use in composed-in values, but it is generally not particularly supported by syntax.
Well it's not on Le Chat, it's not on LMSys, it has a new tokenizer that breaks llama.cpp compatibility, and I'm sure as hell not gonna run it with Crapformers at 0.1x speed which as of right now seems to be the only way to actually test it out.

When you ask yourself that question -- and you do ask yourself that, right? -- what's your answer?
We're working on it, except that there is a change to the tokenizer which we're still working through in our conversion scripts. Unfortunately we don't get a heads up from Mistral when they drop a model, so sometimes it takes a little bit of time to sort out the differences.

Also, I'm not sure if we'll call it mistral-nemo or nemo yet. :-D
This shouldn't be downvoted. Many right-wingers will say anything is "communism" and act like that ends the discussion, because it certainly ends their involvement with the serious part of the discussion.

"Communism" and "Socialism" are invoked like magical bogeyman that will destroy everything. To have any discussion on social welfare this needs to be somehow bypassed in discussions.
