With that blunt but rather understated (and in some degree disingenuous) entry in one of his notebooks from 1872 – far more deadpan in tone than many others of the same period (there is, for instance, a nearby note which equates philologists with castrati ...) – Friedrich Nietzsche encapsulates the inescapable provocation of The Birth of Tragedy: a work written by a classical scholar in defiance of the most fundamental norms and protocols of his profession.

I wish it would further break out "University of California" by individual campuses.

The current aggregate view makes UC look very good compared to everyone else except Stanford, which is kind of nice honestly, but in reality the individual UC campuses are quite independent and are practically different universities.
Misleading title?

Amazon is the only big tech firm I like. They're the only one that I feel I get my money's worth, and that says a lot considering most of the other ones offer free services. They make my life better. I can find things for half the price than at a brick and mortar, it comes fast, and it's almost always about what I expect. I have never gotten the wrong item.

And that's just their product marketplace and logistics services. I don't use any of their other services, I don't use AWS or prime video or any of that stuff. I just use their store.

I have some gripes with them. The big one is their return policy requires me to pay for shipping back or drive an hour to a specific location. I don't like how they're becoming more like eBay by the day. I think the antitrust lawsuit by the FTC has merit. They should not be charging a cut from merchants and then disallowing them from discounting their products on their own websites, it's predatory. But out of all the big online service companies out there, they're the only one I'm happy to allow a little spot in my life. My life is better because I use amazon.
"The reason is the staff at the NYT appear to be very well versed in the technical tricks people use to gain access."

It appears anyone can read any new NYT article in the Internet Archive. I use a text-only browser. I am not using Javascript. I do not send a User-Agent header. Don't take my word for it. Here is an example:

If I am not mistaken the NYT recently had their entire private Github repository, a very large one, made public without their consent. This despite the staff at the NYT being "well-versed" in whatever it is the HN commenter thinks they are well versed in.
Yes, I finished the footings for the barn. I had to get two extra bags on an estimate of 68 bags. Not bad in my opinion considering the wastage from mixing, spilling etc. Also I would have had to do a bunch of tedious math that I didn’t have to.

I had about 5-10 cinder blocks left over, not bad for an order of ~150

yes that’s what asynchronously refers to, it’s in my post you might have been typing while I added that

> He has to be able to think in terms of conceptual hierarchies that are much deeper than a single mind ever needed to face before.

This is not really true. There were complex multilayered systems before computers.
In large systems, Western Electric #5 Crossbar was comparable to a large real-time program. General Railway Signal's NX system had the first "intelligent" user interface. But that level of complexity was very rare.

Both mechanical design and electronic design are harder than program design. The number of people who did really good mechanism design is tiny. There were only two good typesetting machines, over most of a century - Merganthaler's Linotype and Lanston's Monotype. Everybody else's machine was a dud. In the printing telegraph/Teletype business, Howard Krum and Ed Klienschmidt designed the good ones, and the other twenty or so designs over many decades were much inferior. There were been lathes for centuries, but all modern manual lathes strongly resemble Maudsley's design from 1800.

There are far more good programmers than there were good mechanism designers or electronics engineers. Programming is not really that hard by the standards of other complex engineering.
Not a traditional streaming service, but Plex offers sonic analysis: https://support.plex.tv/articles/sonic-analysis-music/

> Plex Media Server uses a sophisticated neural network to analyze each track in the music library, cataloging a wide variety of characteristics of the track. Think of it as things like female vs male, vocals vs not, sad, happy, rock, rap, etc. All these various characteristic constitute a “Musical Universe” and the server is determining where that particular track exists within it.

> For the math-savvy, the Musical Universe consists of points in N-dimensional space. But what’s important is that this allows us to see how “close” anything in your library is from anything else, where distance is based on a large number of sonic elements in the audio.

I haven't tried it so can't speak to its effectiveness.
You can apply statistical techniques to the embeddings themselves? How does that work?
Disclosure: definitely not an airplane expert.

This is a problem discovered during testing. It could mean testing is being done properly; probably it’s a bit late in the dev cycle, but it’s not necessarily a bad thing; now it’s making news because of what happened with Boeing in the past.

But not finding failures during testing maybe means you’re not testing hard enough.
You can do that with local models already.
Since nobody directly answered some of your specific questions:

> Lets say I want to boot a random old PC from one of these images - does the bios need to have iPXE support? Or PXE?

The most-desirable way to use iPXE is to boot it from a system's built-in PXE, chainloading it from a local DCHP+TFTP server. All routers have a DHCP server, and many enthusiast/professional routers will have a TFTP server available. pfSense/OPNSense for example can both do this.

If you want to go down the rabbit hole and can mod your system BIOS, you can install iPXE into many of them. I wouldn't recommend it, but I did it once and thought it was pretty cool.

> random old PC

If you _literally_ meant like a vintage PC that predates the PXE spec[1], you can boot iPXE from any local media — I architected a project 10 years ago where I actually gave floppy disks to technicians because some of the ancient Dells we were working with required a BIOS update to enable USB booting.

You can also burn iPXE into a network card's ROM chip. There were a lot of PCI/ISA network cards that took an EEPROM and could boot from them if populated. I always thought it would be fun to boot a vintage PC with iPXE straight off of an add-in network card like that. iPXE will hook the BIOS, and you can literally boot MS-DOS via iSCSI.

> Do I need to have some service running within my LAN first or can this go right out to some public server and boot from images there?

Again, typical deployments will have iPXE chainloaded from the system's existing PXE implementation, which means you've got a DHCP server on the local segment, and a TFTP server somewhere on the local network. But you _could_ boot iPXE from any other boot medium, which would mean the DHCP/TFTP setup are not required. iPXE itself, once loaded, can do its work with any network connection.

[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wired_for_Management - this happened in 1998/1999 and implementation was widespread by 2001 or so.
your comment is bascally copypasta for a different topic, it's normal during flight tests to find and fix problems.
There's definitely a hit to search traffic if you go this route, as Google is unlikely to rank you above a competing article for a competitive keyword based on only an excerpt. The Information simply doesn't care.

They have an expensive subscription ($400/year) that I'd guess targets VCs and tech execs, which is a very specific segment that's best reached via means other than Google search, anyway.

But yes, to your point, successfully paywalling a media site in a way that's impossible to bypass is trivially easy to do. Most media sites just don't think it's worth it.

I love the developers are seeing that they deserve to be paid for their work and that corporations do not deserve to make money hand over fist for free.

More developers, especially “open source” ones, need to be charging corporations for their work.

I’m in this space, but plc io networks from Schneider and Rockwell are still “trust internally”, and some HMI or scada has to have read/write to them. At least Rockwell you could specify what variables were externally writeable whereas Schneider was essentially DMA from the network.

When I hear DHH talk about the anti-vaxx truckers in Canada he sounds exactly like how Joe Rogan, Elon Musk and Russell Brand talk about it. How much does he really know? Where does he get his news from? Does he know how the truckers were occupying Ottawa for many weeks and setting up an encampment with spas, bouncy castles? How they were blocking the streets and terrorizing the citizens? How some were trying to get meals meant for the homeless? How they were bankrolled by US anti-vaxxers, the US far-right? How about the truckers that blocked the Ambassador bridge, threatening movement of goods between the US and Canada. Hardly a peaceful protest. DHH may have invented Rails but when it comes to Canada's affairs he's a moron.
You can apply statistical techniques to anything you want. Embeddings are just vectors of numbers which capture some meaning, so statistical analysis of them will work fine.
Agreed, though mathematics and programming as we understand them are both ways for humans to express logic. As much as mathematicians want to believe it, math is not the same as logic. The former serves to express logic to other humans while the latter serves to express logic to both other humans and computers. It's not like in the business world; mathematics doesn't get to have a monopoly over logic just because it came first.

Math and computer science just happen to be two fields which concern themselves with different aspects of logic. Math being slow-moving and focused on solving universal problems and computer science being fast-moving and focused on solving concrete problems.

Once in a while, advancements like cryptography and LLMs show us that focusing on solving concrete problems can also expand our knowledge and capabilities in a radical (and useful) way.

I resent articles which try to present one as more important than the other. What does that even mean? Appeal to academic authority? Utility value? Difficulty? Degree of abstraction? They're both just languages which solve problems in different ways and which have different target audiences and have different scalability constraints.
Sorry, but the post sounds like a perfect example of b*shit bingo.

Any specific technical details, innovative ideas you want to share about how are you going to solve all the typical GPT related challenges? How are you going to compete with x/y/z etc.
I agree, on the one had this is normal, there are issues discovered and corrected during testing of all new aircraft types.

But I also wonder if we aren't pushing the limits of what's reasonable for a 2-engine passenger airliner. I get that the more people you can put on a flight the more money the airlines make from that flight, but there's a practical limit somewhere.
Did you mean Pelletier?
ahhhh yeah. I'm guessing I probably caught it right in that sweet spot between post and edit.

I'll counter your one meal vs subscription analogy with another;

I don't want to buy this Ferrari, I just want to drive it for the day. The dealership wasn't interested (they directed me to a different business with a different business model.)

Yes you want a Netflix for news. But even Netflix isn't enough. You also need Amazon, Disney+, Apple TV and so on.

Indeed, all of them are only partially aggregating - much of throw content (if not all of it) is in-house production.

Yes micro payments per article would be nice, but endless startups have proved this approach works for neither suppliers nor consumers.

There's no place to rent a Ferrari in my town. That doesn't make it ok to just "borrow" the dealers one.

The world does not have to magically conform to our desires, our ethics. Sometimes we can't get what we want, and just taking it anyway is not ok
1. Daily chats one on one, unscheduled time, with them showing me what they are doing in the editor. This time is used for code review. Sometimes it turns into pair programming for training. Text messages over teams as needed. Open voice channel where I sit on mute a few hours a day they can drop into to ask questions. They can similarly drop in and wait for me to show up if I'm afk or focused on something else.

2. Ad hoc chats with manager, he is hands off other than twice weekly meeting.

3. Twice a week 60 minute meeting with the manager, product owner, researchers, QA, stakeholders. We demo new features to QA, finished features, and partially complete features to stakeholders. Plan new features as needed.

4. 3-5 minute video demos every two weeks sent to all interested parties

5. I block off several hours each day as quiet time for myself to do work. When I run larger teams (+5 engineers) I do not have personally assigned tasks

6. Pair programming, live code review once a day with each dev. I always prefer to hire devs who like to pair program, so ideally they will be pairing and rotating tasks regardless. Also promiscuous pairing, with tasks assigned to a pair stream not an individual. This ensures built in training and code review. No silos or solo work without significant input from a second dev ensures a minimum level of quality, catches issues early, and builds camaraderie.

I would say, this project sounds highly risky. I would personally assume only one dev will get any work done, and plan accordingly. What would you do if you knew the whole team would disappear tomorrow? You would set expectations, deliver the most important things first and get it into the stakeholders hands immediately. Do this, and the extra features produced by the other devs will just be gravy on top. Don't try to micro plan out every dev's time feature by feature, instead just ask the customers to order the most important features first and try to get it in their hands. Trying to actually plan a project with a timeline greater than 12 months has a <10% success rate in my experience. Instead try to deliver a first working feature into their hands in 3 weeks. Repeat. Don't ever try to fix scope and time more than a month out, it's effectively impossible. If you could do that, you could just predict the stock market instead and skip all the hassle
C'mon, you're pulling my leg this company name, right? I mean, it's no PNAS[1], but it definitely got my attention and gave my 12yr-old inner self a chuckle. I guess I'm really just a 12yr-old in an old man's body. I suppose if it worked for Tom Hanks, it'll work for me.

I remember in the 90's the promise of the Internet was that it would be a resilient repository of all human knowledge and cultural artifacts. I remember people pointing out that the Internet was designed to survive even a nuclear war, so tragedies like the loss of the Library of Alexandria would never happen again.

Instead, we got link rot, abandonware IP, and lots of memes.
When I read what you said, I processed it as needless pedantry, implying the "not work and home" should be called the Second Place now, throwing away the historical term and its meaning. If that's not the case, I apologize!

edit: as either needless pedantry, or an unfamiliarity with the Third [Sp/Pl]ace.
Re #3 - my bad, mixing terminology in my answer above. It’s the “base model” for the evaluator model (vs a fine tuned evaluator model). Just using the labeled Halubench dataset as the outputs to be evaluated, so no base model for the Halueval task.

Thanks for the feedback, really helpful. We may edit for clarity.
This is really terrible.
I'm always torn on this. As someone that thinks they are decent at programming, it can be tempting to think that all of the sloppy ways of programming that I learned on the way were bad habits that need to be shed.

However, I also think that anyone that taught math by jumping straight to the advanced maths would almost certainly find that they lose more than they gain as far as student progress.

Note that this is not to say that you should avoid the advanced stuff. Attempts at hiding complexity never seem to pan out to results. Instead, honesty with the students goes a long long way.

I would also be interested in knowing about all of the things that were a bit more normal in the early days that people today have likely never seen. Call semantics that are not stack based, as an easy example.

The other half of the problem is that the direction of these moral panics tends to embrace and expand the existing fundamental problem. Here, the tech industry desperately needs some competition in client software, which is currently being prevented by the anticompetitive bundling of client access software together with communication/hosting services. If there were competition, a parent could let their kid communicate on facebook/tiktok/etc with a client that worked in the interest of the kid themselves rather than being forced to take-or-leave the deliberately-designed-as-dopamine-traps singleton proprietary apps/webapps. But trying to fix that fundamental problem would likely step on too many moneyed toes and thus end up dead in the water. So instead this bill was aimed at creating even more of an anti-competitive moat in the hopes the tech giants would get on board.
Not so much pride for NZ as pride in being so laden with resources that he may go where he pleases.
Maybe it's just me but this feels like micro management. Especially the daily chats where they show you their work in the editor. Your team's autonomy is being minimized.
If illegal chemical compounds required tears of children to produce them, and someone came up with a clever way to synthesise those tears?

It depends what is considered unlawful, obtaining the tears and causing the harm, or is it enjoyment of chemical compound?
Nice. I agree that LLMs will be game-changing for easing the writing of specifications/contracts for verified code; it could become the standard. Interesting that you're using Isabelle/HOL for code generation. I'm working towards auto-formalization of maths using LLM translation to an intermediate language between English and the proof assistant (for which I'm leaning towards Isabelle/HOL) and then a toolbox of techniques (i.e. ATP) for the remaining translation. Formalization is too painful at the moment. It's nearly the same problem as yours. But I'm starting out on simpler problems.

So I'm really interested in the "filling up" part, if you have anything to say about it.
