It is deceptive to infer that there is a financial benefit. My idea is purely practical. It doesn't align with any mainstream financial interest, unlike yours which only serves incumbents.

> Hm, time series series regression is a standard, accepted approach to causal inference

But statistical causality - things like Granger causality for example - aren't, in reality, establishing causality. They're statistical properties. You can't ever establish causality from statistical data. Eg, if I light a log on fire there will be bright light and later on there will be ash. If you have a timeseries of luminosity and quantity of ash present, bright light will be Granger-causal of ash. But in reality we know that bright light isn't causing the ash; the situation is we are analysing a bonfire.

You've got a group of people there in that analysis article that aren't very good at interpreting results. They're looking at a time of extreme turmoil, they've picked 2 random timeseries that are responding to underlying causes and assuming that they are the entire story. They can't do that, it isn't a valid argument. It isn't a thorough enough treatment. In analogy, they're missing the fire for the light. There isn't particularly strong evidence that unions do anything on their own at the macro level; especially since the economic regime was just very different in an era where the available energy supplied was cheap and quantity was rapidly increasing.

> For me, it suffices to say that the authors did not weakly position their argument as you claimed.

I never said they weakly positioned their argument, their argument is watertight, they developed a data set and analysed it. Found a bunch of interesting statistical facts. Solid academic work. camdat weakly positioned his argument.
Looks cool! Seems functionally similar to AOSP’s git-repo, but already feels more approachable with that simple yaml remote list.

What collaborative tool would you recommend using with vdm? AOSP has gerrit which is sort of specifically designed for this multi-remote meta setup. GitHub/GitLab don’t play nice with this type of environment.

If the neural network is allowed to approximate, then why not?
> I really am disappointed svelte5 is turning into react-ish framework.

This is very wrong. Read the announcement and the docs: https://svelte.dev/blog/svelte-5-release-candidate https://svelte-5-preview.vercel.app/docs/introduction

Svelte 5 has change its reactivity model to signals. I anything, it's became similar to SolidJS. All other changes are minor but make Svelte even simpler to use.
Are predictors and TLBs shared between SMTs?
This seems to be almost the same as androids repo tool. https://android.googlesource.com/tools/repo

Personally I don't see the difference between this and submodules. Repo stores the information in xml files, vdm stores it in yaml files and git submodules in the git database. I don't really care.

The real headache for me is the trouble of traceability vs ease of use. You need to specify your dependencies with a sha1 to have traceable SLSA compliant builds, but that also means that you'll need to update all superrepos once a submodule is updated. Gerrit has support for this, but it's not atomic, and what about CI? What about CI that fails?
Fine. I agree, let's leave it at that. :-)
To play devil's advocate; it is better to have some kind of fallback when the automated, non-interactive verification does fail.

Anecdotally from many posters here and as I've personally experienced, automated verification (as attempted by some captchas which entirely eliminate any user interaction) is not foolproof, and an escape hatch is necessary from time to time.

While it could be argued that this leaves the captcha vulnerable to automated solving, the fact that there is a small cost to acquiring a GPU server, a captcha solving service, or a image segmentation model does act as a deterrent (even if small).
Wow, stackoverflow vibes here.
That's a wild argument when the vast majority of emojis are designed to look like the real version.
No. That's surprisingly easy[1], and the last time I checked they hadn't reproduced anywhere near the full theory of general relativity. They've just found a thing that suggests that it's possible to map things to a curved spacetime manifold. If I remember correctly, they didn't actually show that this was in any way natural or the only possibility.[2]

[1] There is more than one way to model GR or large subsets of it either mathematically or physically. It sounds like a complex theory but in many ways it is actually "minimal" and highly constrained, making it pop out of unrelated things surprisingly easily. For example, crystal defects moving under thermal vibrations of the lattice can model GR! Similarly, variable index of refraction has very GR-like mathematics and can model everything except torsion (I believe, I'm not an expert).

[2] A key thing with such fundamental theories is not just to show that it can do something in physics but that it cannot do anything else.[2b] Without that constraint, any general computational theory like Turing machines "contains physics". So does the space of all computer programs, lambda calculus, etc... Those aren't useful statements, but that's pretty much what Wolfram's theories boil down to. He keeps finding very simple systems that can compute arbitrary things, pointing at them and exclaiming that "Physics is in there... somewhere!"

[2b] E.g.: Four dimensions of spacetime with a +++- or equivalently a ---+ signature, but not anything else such as ++++ or ++-- or five dimensions. Similarly, three generations of particles, not two or more than three. Etc...
related to this, in my first tech job as a UNIX guy at a Wall St. bank, my mentor was really into Hawaii, all the servers in our group were named after hawaiian volcanoes, e.g. mahukona, maunakea, kilauea, hualalai, etc. it was NOT fun, all of us kinda hated it, but i suppose it did engender in us a strong attention to detail!
It's a surprise to see weekly queries. If you don't mind, could you please share one or two examples of these queries?

I've added all suggestions from entire thread to my log and will prioritize implementing them.

Regarding pricing, I don't know offering a free tier is right approach or not .. I believe that the queries are complex and long. not sure they could be shared among users. Anyways, for next 2 or 3 months its going to be beta. my current focus is adding value, will ask the users about pricing later. Note that, for each question, it crawls 10-15 pages, or even more if you ask to enrich a table. there is LLM cost, now a days webpages are really huge.

Thank you again for your input and support. Please let me know if you have any other thoughts or questions.
I think they sold it when they downsized.
Bahaha it would be great if RH turned out to be a natural example of a theorem for which its independence is itself independent of ZFC. Do you know any examples of that?

I can probably cook some highly artificial ones up if I try, but maybe there's an interesting one out there!
You may not be aware of the current strategy/goings on then. The amount of renewables being installed right now is mind boggling, it's a huge portion of the newly installed capacity in the last few years. A bunch of work is ongoing to try and get a reactor design that is both cheap enough and able to get through the terrible nuclear beaurocracy to bring that emissions nearly free energy source online in a more meaningful way. Electric cars have also come down in cost to now only be stupid for many of us. This looks to change as better/cheaper battery chemistry comes on line in the next ten years so that may actually be an actuarily sound idea for most of us by the end of the decade. There's also a bunch of advances in air conditioning that look quite interesting (that's a big deal as ac consumes ~10 % of world electricty and that should clime as world temperature climbs). It's broadly pretty positive out there, with many things starting to hit the market, which should slowly phase out the old gear as it wears out, which should have major impact in the coming decades.
While I’m not anywhere close to spending ten thousand or more like the ones in the article, we use our kids’ birthday party to spend time with the parents. So we plan it like an adult party with adult food and drinks.

We go to dozens of kid birthday parties each year with the same pizza, popcorn and fruit punch. Everyone is tired of them, so we host a party for the parents.
JS dom manipulation has prepend and append. These always felt quite natural to me. While push back feels weird. The act of pushing feels out of place and I also think back and front may also be ambiguous.
Germans Combat Climate Change with DIY Solar Panels
Bullshit. That is one study in one country. Meanwhile, other audiologists indpendently launched studies after noticing an increased incidence of tinnitus & hearing-loss patients after COVID vaccinations. I was seen by one of the earliest to document this and write a paper, and the next one I saw affirmed enthusiastically that this is a "true agent" and information about it has been suppressed. Why the mania for denial?

When a vaccine researcher himself suffered hearing damage, he had to mince words and refrain from speaking out for fear of being "canceled." As a result, thousands, tens of thousands, or more have had their lives degraded for no benefit.

And still we see efforts to suppress and deny this information right here. Pathetic.
Expensive as it should be
Ask HN: Can someone point best AI PDF data extractor?
Honestly whoever can build this will have such successful startup. Extracting data from PDFs in JSON is such a simple and valuable app. please build!
The reason I find myself preferring push_back is that I can use aggregate init with it. Which is usually preferable to the uglier but faster emplace_back in places where it doesn't matter.
If it's more expensive + less reliable + slower, then it's simply a wrapper.

The real companies should be doing all angles better - cheaper, faster, higher quality output, more reliable. It doesn't matter if it's simply "prompt engineering". You can add value by adding exponential backoff or using different AI providers when one is down or slow (as they usually are).

There's a lot of excitement around RAGs because it lets startups play along this faster+cheaper+quality. There's domain expertise - a skilled writer can make better writing apps than some random with good prompting skills. Perplexity is probably adding extra caching layers in front of the AI so they can do it cheaper and faster.

Of course React can handle complex and large scenarios. And those scenarios aren't even large. It's good that you created that proof. Still, Svelte is much easier while more performant, even if that extra performance is most often not needed. Large amounts of data can be managed by react-virtualized in React. IME Svelte (and Vue) can handle more without virtualization, but for really large data sets you need it anyway. The downsides of React are not performance IMO, but DX.
Linters are great at finding syntactical errors like the case you mentioned. But LLMs do a better job at finding logical flaws or enforcing things like non-syntactic naming conventions. The idea is not to replace linters, but to complement them. In fact, one of the flows we're building next is fixing linting issues that linters struggle to fix automatically.
The ORIGINAL infection. By the time the second boosters came around, they were of minimal benefit and thus the risk/reward ratio was much much higher than people were warned of. So our hearing is permanently ruined for a fucking USELESS second booster.
For the vast majority of history, the vast majority of people could not read or write. We also only learn to read or write long after we learn to speak, so it does not seam reasonable to me that more complex alphabet results in a more complex language.

Chinese and Japanese have arguably some of the most complex "alphabets" (yes, Japanese has hiragana/katana, but they are more recent and Chinese only uses pinyin/bopomofo since the last century) and they have some of the least complex sounds of all languages.

Not aware of any myself, no. (But I’m far from an expert on this topic.)

It just occurred to me as a logical possibility.
It is extremely unusual, and the addition to Unicode was very controversial.

Basically, some type designers liked to play with capital ß and thought it cool to have it included into Unicode. There was a whole campaign for inclusion, and it was a big mistake.

Because even though existing use must be shown to merit inclusion, they only managed to find a single book (a dictionary) printed in more than a few copies. From East Germany. And that book only used the capital ß for a single edition (out of dozens of editions) and reverted straight back to double s. Somehow, that still was enough for Unicode.

Capital ß is a shit show, and it only confuses native speakers, because close to none of them have ever seen that glyph before.

It has no real historic lineage (like the long s, for example, that pretty much nobody under 80 knows, either), it is a faux-retro modern design, an idle plaything.
Absolute champ, thanks!
A default on US debt would be unconstitutional, per section 4 of the 14th amendment. Inflation, on the other hand, is not unconstitutional.
English is a mess but the pronunciation seems to be fault tolerant. Most skilled speakers can understand people that butcher the complicated pronunciation because it is highly diverse even among native speakers that notionally speak the same dialect. I do wonder if the extreme globalization of English has distilled a robust core that is pronunciation resistant. I have noticed that international English makes word choices that limit pronunciation ambiguity.
Staffing problems?

Management often sees, “I have a dozen people on this.” When in fact the bus number was three, you laid one off, another quit and the third is sick or having life struggles.
The upper-case ẞ remains very unconventional, and the Unicode casing algorithm continues to specify upper-case conversion to SS.

The other thing is - though US median performance is high and average performance is much higher - it's not just a couple of billionaires pulling up that average.

It's millionaires - tens of millions of them.

There's something special about a system that can create so many extremely successful people.
"President Trump", "Donald Trump" complete normally, and suggest "45th US President".

I think it had something to do with the recent attempted assassination. I tried a few related phrases and it won't complete. This is a reasonable censorship (though I don't agree with).

There are plenty of quirks. Like "president joe biden" only completes "~ expressway", which is hardly a popular topic, while many previous presidents have a long list of relevant things.
>I don’t really care

I care about the aesthetics and the convenience that the tool provides. git-repo at least has a simple command to get all the latest stuff (repo sync). Git submodules is a mess in this regard. Just look at this stack overflow thread:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1030169/pull-latest-chan...

People are confused at how to do THE most basic command that you’d have to do every single day with a multi-repo environment. There’s debating in the comments about what flags you should actually use. No thanks.

There’s a lot of room for improvement in this space. git-repo isn’t widely used outside of aosp. Lots of organizations are struggling with proper tooling for this type of setup.

Migrating writing to a new organization is a great way to think about what you've written. It's field and personality specific whether that kind of reviewing and reshaping is helpful.
> In other languages one can easily tell the precise pronunciation of a word just from how it was written

Some other languages. Just considering the Latin alphabet: French pronunciation is so far from spelling that spelling bees used to be (may still be) prime time television. Words in Spanish and Portuguese may be written in a deterministic fashion, yet pronounced quite differently in different countries.

And sure, German spelling does reflect pronunciation…because the spelling has been changed from time to time to match shifts in pronunciation…specifically the pronunciation used by a small number of people in Niedersachsen. Elsewhere in Germany (much less Switzerland) the local pronunciation can be incomprehensible. (This was the case in the UK and France until the advent of radio and then especially TV).

And that’s just four examples using basically the same alphabet. This phenomenon is common to all living languages. Even dead languages, for that matter: the Latin and (classical) Greek pronunciation I had to use in high school was a UK version different from that typically used in the USA or (based on one person I met), Sweden!

And do you really think the same thing doesn’t happen with Arabic, Hindi et al?

English ain’t so special.
There's something to be said for groups like this one and Standard eBooks (mentioned elsewhere in this thread) doing some work to clean up and beautify public domain books like the ones in Project Gutenberg. Even Standard eBooks mentions that their books are all sourced from Gutenberg.

This group seems much less complete than SE, and in my opinion, they're not nearly as nice looking. I think that's more a matter of personal taste though.
Well, what can you do... amtlich is amtlich.

And the behavior of a function that converts ß to double upper-case S can certainly be discussed too, if only for the fact that a round-trip toUpper().toLower() will not give you back the original word.
The fish rots from the head.

Really? I would assume most of that is down to the hardware, like cash drawers, credit card readers and order printers, which is likely third party and proprietary, and is only available and supported on Windows. Do you have evidence otherwise?

I see some sibling commenta that link to keyboards with a knobs-- that is cool - but I am imagining having access to more than one knob so I have a bank of at least 5-6 knobs, slightly smaller than the DIY project, so I can program them for multiple uses like we do for Function Keys today.

Imagine stream deck with knobs instead of buttons - and available either as a separate USB/wireless device or as a simple "nuneric keypad" / "function keys /media keys" kind of addition to keyboards

If it just clones the repos and removes the .git directories, then I assume it doesn't keep their commit history? So if you use e.g. `git blame` or `git log` to look at file history, you will see when changes were introduced to the parent repo, but not when/why those changes were made in the first place.

In that respect, it resembles git-subtree with --squash, but differs from git-submodule or regular git-subtree.
That's the same study. Which is contradicted by others.

Most languages weren’t in the running. However, Spanish, French, Latin, or English could easily have become the international trade language. German was in the running for Scientific publishing etc yet somehow English won in multiple domains.

And it doesn’t just win officially. I’ve seen groups without a common language default to English with people translating back and forth to other languages as needed even when more than one language was known to several members of the group. It’s not absolute, but there does seem to be an inherent advantage to English when translating across multiple languages.
I've seen it stated as, "It is a bit of received computer science wisdom that any program has at least one superfluous line and at least one bug.

I mean, Intel's new CPUs certainly have both real cores ("P-cores") and inferior cores ("E-cores"). I suspect the reason they introduced E-cores is primarily thermal- and die-space-related, not actually power usage or performance. I always make sure to buy the chips without E-cores because they are better.
