Yes they changed things up but it's pretty unlikely that two unrelated design teams come up with the same design. And no it goes much further than "it has wings".

I'm not even saying it's bad. This thing happens in IT all the time. Nobody reinvents the wheel. Look at Apple vs Samsung or the likeness between desktop GUIs.

I think it was more pride that promoted them to make excuses. After all these are huge prestige projects.

The Concordski too yeah. The drooping nose was a curious design decision in both (quite a few drawbacks to this, since an actuated mechanism so far from the centre of gravity will cost a lot of payload). They could have gone with something like a periscope instead (like what's on the Soyuz)

I don't buy the "there's only one way to design this" angle especially since both camps had completely separate parts and manufacturing chains with their own strengths and weaknesses.
Why would you spin out a competitive moat?
So... what if the developers are right, and their activism is warranted? It certainly seems like the courts are leaning towards the sides of the developers in the US and Europe.

How would a stronger federal government affect whether an individual state wants subsidize industry in order to attract business to said state? The feds still get their tax dollars no matter what. Do you mean like limit the kinds of business that the states can participate in? We see that in the EU and it's resulted in being basically non-competitive in any emerging industry. Individual countries could foster business in a much more competitive way if not shackled by EU regulations.
Interesting dynamics explained here. The second section of this post would be a very persuasive pitch for an expensive online course.
The book explores a plethora of laser therapy applications and techniques, covering areas such as external laser therapy, laser needle acupuncture, transcranial laser therapy, interstitial and intraarticular laser therapy, intravenous laser therapy, photodynamic therapy, dermatology and skin rejuvenation, weight loss, lasers and stem cell therapy, and provides comprehensive treatment protocols.

Yikes. Thanks for sharing! I only know about the neuro part personally, but seeing it put up next to "acupuncture" (without puncturing, I guess?) and "weight loss" (??) reinforces my initial negative reaction.

It's so fascinating to see modern western psuedoscience, like this and the neurofeedback people. They cite sources, they use the right words, they're often very serious people with real degrees... A testament to how complex the truth can be when we know so much as a civilization, I guess.

You don't need oldschool techniques like Chiropracty's/Acupuncture's "the body has an invisible energy field that only we can manipulate" rhetoric, you just need to cherry pick stuff from real science and ratchet up the confidence levels in your marketing materials, then fall back to normal skeptical scientific language when challenged.

Probably worth it though, to find the applications of this tech that really do work! Hopefully the $4,000 laser headsets are at least funding productive researchers & engineers

These successful economic systems are still based on private ownership rights and the right to assemble (in this context the right to form business partnerships with low exit costs). In other words: the core capitalist building blocks.
I think I'd have guessed similarly, but then I read the data.

I don't think a C dialect is a good idea. You want a blank slate, on which you can begin with your foundational concerns (e.g. constant time evaluation) rather than starting from C. There may be practical reasons to prefer how C spells things, the way Rust looks like a semi-colon language even though it's mostly an ML, but the core language isn't helpful.

I really enjoyed this article.

* The use of tree-based knowledge extraction with manual review + the graph of the resulting information by principle component extraction demonstrates the effective base of the context.

* The use of a Sentence-BERT model specifically for tool matching avoids the hallucination problem of LLMS offering fake solutions/diagnosis steps.

* The tree-based multi-LLM-expert diagnosis by vote system also addresses hallucination and failures like looping through the same solutions over and over in complex cases, and is reminiscent of the monte-carlo advance for AlphaGo and paxos consensus protocols. AND it provides output in an auditable way, which is important for incidents.

When testing, they evaluate against a human DBA with two years of experience, which seems kind of junior to me. Notably, in the results the D-Bot usually (9/12 cases) comes close to the junior DBA, but does not exceed it. However, the D-Bot definitely exceeds the results of raw LLM prompting and it has the obvious speed advantage over a human.

Overall, this gives me confidence that some of the LLM projects at my own company can be useful, since auditability + specific knowledge extraction are relevant to our work.
Well, referendums are kind of direct democracy, so yes, I agree those are at increased risk of dumb voting. But the actual problem there, to me, is such complex decisions being put to referendum in the first place; specially to a simple majority vote.

Also, gay marriage isn't really a complex issue: Even the dumbest person understood the consequences of banning it, they just were that sadistic. Agreed on Brexit though.

This is exactly the approach described in the article.
Sure, but Chevron never was blind deference: it was a precedent of judicial restraint, recognising that the democratically elected legislature had delegated authority via statute to the democratically elected executive. But that never stopped the Courts from making decisions on matters of law. Striking down a regulation because it violated the constitution was perfectly okay under Chevron.

What's happened is that the Supreme Court is citing a precedent that gave itself extra-constitutional powers to declare things unconstitutional, to permanently wedge itself between the executive and legislative. It's no longer a co-equal branch; a check and balance. It's now a veto. The fact the Supreme Court is behaving this way is very concerning and fundamentally undermines its legitimacy.
That's great!

25 years ago phones still had cords. Infact, C# itself is only just barely 19 or 20 years old at best. I know I felt like everything that came before me was ancient when I was young, but a decade is a long time in tech so i just felt the need to point out that if you had a codebase for a phone from 25 years ago if it was not written directly in assembly, it would have been running a very slim java version called Java ME (Micro Edition) for feature phones which was all the rage before android, or if you were unlucky you would be dealing with BREW which was a SDK for c/cpp development on feature handsets.

We've gotten really into plants in my house, and as a side effect the whole place is lit up like a christmas tree with full-spectrum light. I've never noticeably suffered from SAD, but I do wonder what the benefits of such a change would be to the typical terminally-inside HackerNews denizen. Anecdotally, it seems to help!

Okay, I think I understand now. My intuition was that "soundness" refers to whether the compile catches all invalid usage of types, and that soundness if violated if that doesn't happen; it sounds like the way you're using the term is measured whether the invalid usage is caught either at compile-time or run-time, and soundness if violated if it's not caught by any of the checks. I don't know whether my narrower understanding of soundness is incorrect or not, but it's at least more clear to me now why you grouped Java and JavaScript differently in terms of soundness.

Worth mentioning how simple the implementation could be if we're limited to COM, which is just a blob with machine code. Simple enough that being a 8 y.o. kid I encountered a book that explained the concept (something like JMP on entry, patch to original and JMP back). The entire thing was assembled over a few hours and deployed to a park of 80286's at school the next day, with consequences imprinted as a bright traumatic experience. This part was not explained in the book.
We are not talking about a “passion” career where someone can be working poor, yet fulfilling a societal function: teachers, social workers, special needs, etc.

Programming is one of the best career investment opportunities available at the moment. You cannot take a six week bootcamp course and become a MD commanding a six figure salary. Yet that is a common enough story in this industry. Someone took bare minimum of training and is now making significantly more than traditional career opportunities.

Loving your job is great, but it is a luxury afforded to few. Might as well do the most you can to keep food on the table.
Grand challenges in organoid and organ-on-a-chip technologies
The relative failure of edutech is, to me, the biggest disappointment of the Internet age. I remember the hope and buzz around MOOCs circa 2010 being very exciting. From my personal experience with online learning, I mostly agree with the author. No degree gamification or cheapness of distribution will overcome a lack of effort and commitment. I also think this explains the state of education in the U.S. generally. Teachers are hamstrung in holding students (and especially parents) accountable for doing the hard work. As the old saying goes, “You can lead a horse to water…”

Apple never claims to know what’s best for people. I’d presume they do their best to anticipate what people want, turn that into a product, and then people are free to either buy it or not. What you’re suggesting in this comment is that people shouldn’t be free to make that choice.

Your comment about payment services illustrates this perfectly. For starters, you're not forced to use it at all. Out of all the paid services I use on my phone, exactly none of them require me to pay via the App Store. I do however choose to use it for every single one of them, because the Apple App Store is by far the most consumer friendly subscription manager I’ve ever seen.

Can’t wait for the corporate lobbyists to take that choice away from me…
Cool, but why can't one install?

The article confuses extroversion with resilience and living outside.

Hermits, who live alone, in the wild, are some of the most introverted yet resilient people alive.

The article also confuses living on a couch with introversion.

Who is less of a couch potato, the introvert mountain biking by themselves, or those dudes pictured sitting at a pub?

I am a huge proponent of pushing yourself outside your comfort zone, but this article does a poor job of articulating what and why.
It could do what the other branch does, in theory.

But let me put it this way. If you only had the misbehaving_code(); line by itself, the compiler would rightly be called crazy and malicious if it compiled that to delete_data();

So maybe it's not reasonable to treat both branches as having the same behavior, even if you can.

It does something unexpected if size is SIZE_T_MAX-1, too. And it's also undefined if input is null and size is zero, which seems more likely to surprise that function's author. This is because memcpy requires valid pointer arguments even if the size is zero.

In particular, this usage invokes UB:

const char *input = "";
size_t len = strlen(input);
char *buf = malloc(len); // may return null if len is zero
if (len) memcpy(buf, input, len);
char \*buf2 = strappend(buf, len);

The best software in the world is actually explicitly designed to survive being social engineered. Launching a nuclear ICBM requires more than 4 levels of remote authorization and combined secrets from 2 trusted sources that live offsite. Being "social engineered" in a situation like this means torturing a half-dozen military personnel for confidential keys you can't even validate.
I found it to be a perfect example of "The soft bigotry of low expectations".
This is entirely typical of especially VB scripts. When I was a software engineer for a Fortune-20 company, I spent more time debugging (and trying to normalize, though that met with mixed levels of resistance) VB applets than anything else.
> Many Web games were created with Impact [the game engine from the article] and it even served as the basis for some commercial cross-platform titles like Cross Code, Eliot Quest and my own Nintendo Wii-U game XType Plus.

Cross Code is an excellent game. I knew that it used web tech and I was constantly amazed by how performant it was on the Nintendo Switch hardware. I would guess that this engine deserves some credit there!
It didn't seem bad until the actual prompt "help my daughter write a letter...".

No. No one likes that.

There's this huge misunderstanding that I see a lot on these AI prompting ads that people will want to use AI to write things they care about... Perhaps a sort of "I care so much about this that I'd like it to be perfect" when I believe, for people, when we care about something we want to put effort into it. Even if the result is flawed, the effort is what matters.

If I'm an athlete and I receive a handwritten letter from a little girl, and i can see the struggle in a simple "I want to be like you" that is so much more valuable than a 10 paragraph ai assisted essay.

This is so obvious? Obviously google is surrounded by yes men.

> It's crazy that Google doesn't spin-out their TPU work as a separate company.

Not really. Google TPUs require google's specific infrastructure, and cannot be deployed out side the Google Datacenter. The software is google specific, the monetization model is google specific.

We also have no idea how profitable TPUs would actually be if a separate company. The only customer of TPUs is Google and Google Cloud.

I have a different comment where I'm stating that one way to counter the influencing of votes is through allowing the voter to cast their ballot any number of times until it ends.

I can think of a method that allows a voter to decrypt the ballot payload only coupled with one or more keys from the parties that organized it. Ie, if I as an individual want to see the vote, I can't. But if I suspect my vote has been tampered with I can ask the organizers to audit it, and with both our keys, I can see the payload. (This is just back of the napkin theorizing, it might have other issues)

I am suggesting that people in other countries are already making that choice, and it hasn't even remotely impacted your or their freedom. In fact, users that live in countries covered by the DMA have more freedom to use their iPhone than ever before.
I wouldn't call it 'stolen'. More 'informed by'.

Don't forget the shuttle was public. Wouldn't you look at the other team's progress if they publish it for everyone to see? It's stupid not to. Especially when you are given the exact same goal.

Ah yes, taxes on money holding and land, two of the most evil taxes ever invented.

The average citizen prefers paying income taxes, payroll tax and sales tax and VAT to the government and paying the land tax aka rent to land holders and the money tax aka interest to money holders to maximize the dead weight loss. Then they complain that the government is bankrupt and is doing inflation.

The average citizen is incorrigible.
Everyone always calls it "next word prediction" but that's also a simplification.

If you go back to the original Transformer paper, the goal was to translate a document from one language to another. In all prompt systems the model is only given "past" tokens (as it's generating new tokens in real time) but in that original paper the LLM can use backwards and forward context to determine the translation.

Just saying the architecture of how a model is trained and how it outputs tokens is less limited than you think.

What Is P Hacking: Methods and Best Practices
I can't recall a technological advancement that capital so badly wanted at labor's expense in my lifetime. There is a desperation to come up with consumer products powered by AI to get them on board, similar to how they got on board with cheap goods via offshore manufacturing, or telecommunication tools that facilitate "calling grandma" that lead to outsourcing.

There really seems to be almost zero consumer products that people want powered by this stuff. Even chatGPT is mostly laborers trying to do their job more easily.
