Is employment at an all-time high? It appears to be down 4 points from the high of the last decade (64.4 in ‘00 to ‘23’s 60.3), unemployment only being a “historical low” if you compare the last 3 years, as since 2020 (56.8) it’s been, slowly, regaining the post-‘08 high during ‘19 (60.8).

Nonetheless, I appreciate you taking the time to query Claude-3.5 and sharing the results.

According to Amazon Bedrock adds Claude 3.5-sonnect[0] is a multimodal model with state-of-the-art vision processing, which tells me that Claude can "cheat" by rendering the SVG and then passing to the image model for the results which is perhaps one way of describing "imagining" things, but it does not describe a strict Large Language Model which predicts the next token.

> The multimodal Claude 3.5 Sonnet also excels at processing images with state-of-the-art vision, particularly when interpreting charts and graphs—helping to get faster, deeper insights from data. It can accurately decipher text from imperfect images—for example, poorly scanned documents—and in doing so, glean more insights than from text alone.

I appreciate you giving multiple examples including an extremely surprising failure given the other successes without assuming malice on my part in asking.
Pretty much every soft-delete implementation I've seen involves modifying a tables schema to add a deleted_at column.

Invariably, this becomes a rather annoying thorn in my side when I need to do more advanced indexing, like unique indexes for upserts. Nothing impossible, but I'm quickly swimming upstream against whatever ORM I happen to be using (I'm looking at you, Prisma).

What I haven't seen much of is a trigger-based system which moves the deleted record into an entirely new table. Is it possible to make a deletions table that always mirrors the source tables schema? I know table inheritance is a thing but I don't know if that applies to future schema changes.

Anyways, I know deleted_at quite well, but I long for something better.
Well... git repositories with only one branch. But yeah, I'd argue that such things are blockchains in ever sense that matters. Or should we go ask the permissioned blockchains start calling themselves permissioned merkle linked lists?
As I mentioned elsewhere, all the modern models are multimodal models so I think it would be fair to say rendering the SVG and then having the dedicated image model classify it is similar to "imagining", but it is definitely not strictly part of a Large Language Model which only predicts the next token based on previous tokens.
#1. Are you willing to hardcode a demo and never tell anyone?
I believe this is exactly what the modern multimodal models are doing -- they are not strictly Large Language Models any more.
I use an Android phone by preference. There are faster and more powerful laptops on the market, but they are not better, and calling some of them laptops at all is a bit of a stretch. Apple have a vertical that is very difficult to compete with when it comes to overall quality. People aren't just buying them because they've all been hoodwinked by clever marketing.
And also important to note that the SGI machines were a factor more expensive again than the macs. If the macs were already nearly unfeasible in Eastern Europe the SGIs certainly would be.

Soft-deletes in relational databases are almost always a mistake. Most use-cases are actually business rules/processes which need to be clearly examined and done more explicitly and contextually, at least if you ever want to restore anything.

For example, you don't soft-delete a customer row, you "deactivate" a customer, and change logic that looks at customer-related entities to fit that. The "Customers" page that shouldn't show those anymore gets retitled to "Active Customers." Later there will be either process for reactivating customers or for using a permanently deactivated customer as a template for a new one.

What goes wrong with the classic soft-delete approach? The one where every table has a boolean is_deleted column and hopefully the deleting code updates the correct subgraph of records at the same time?

It typically rots as you expand your model and add features. It's not clear what significance different tables have, and you you can't "restore" things with any reliability or safety. That may be because of relational/index conflicts, or because you don't have enough information about how it was originally deleted to actually "restore" something that is both correct and useful, or because there are actually 3 different kinds of restoration schemes/scopes but current problem calls for a fourth.

I think the answer to that is probably "as good as soy, but with modern ergonomics". E4X was basically this and I think it's a much nicer way to build DOM trees than strings since you can't create invalid markup or concat partial tags. It also lets you reuse subtrees naturally where innerHTML makes that impossible.
It should be noted that The Mind Illuminated defines "attention" and "awareness" in specific ways. This is from the TMI subreddit:

> Attention is what is at the focus of your experience, while awareness Is a broader 'knowing' of your field of consciousness. For instance, while reading this, your attention is on the words on your screen, while you are also still aware peripherally of forms around you, sounds, smells, feelings, etc. Awareness is the ability to be conscious of all thoughts, feelings, sensations, etc that make up your experience. Attention is the ability to focus on one thing, and hold that one thing exclusively as the object of your focus. In other words, awareness might be compared to flood lights while attention might be more like a spotlight.

This is very much in line with Marion Milner's book A Life of One's Own and Les Fehmi's work on "open attention" that have been discussed on HN recently.

* The program seemed intended for influencers of the non-reviewer and non-press variety.

* Nonetheless, a fair number of reviewers were in the program, and the reviewers are the ones who've spoken up about the language.

Google's statement here in essence implies total blindness to the fact that there were tech reviewers in the program ("#TeamPixel is a distinct program, separate from our press and creator reviews programs. The goal of #TeamPixel is to get Pixel devices into the hands of content creators, not press and tech reviewers. We missed the mark with this new language that appeared in the #TeamPixel form yesterday, and it has been removed.").

^^This all makes it look even worse in my opinion.
>Occam’s Razor

>What is it? The simplest answer is most often correct.

Isn't it: for a given outcome, reached by two hypotheses, the hypothesis with the fewest assumptions is usually correct? Which isn't always necessarily the same as "simplest is usually correct", or at least how I commonly see it deployed.

I like Kant's response: "The variety of beings should not rashly be diminished".
There's a lot to consider here that may be worth talking to an advisor at both. Traditional, Roth, or Backdoor Roth? Look at investible options, fees associated, etc.

As for Schwab vs Fidelity, your money is in safe hands with either. Might want to call and talk shop with both, and choose whoever you feel gave you better answers, all other things equal.

Vanguard has low fees, but it shows in every facet of their existence. I don't hate it, but I'll make marginally less money perhaps for better experience. YMMV.
How does this handle data privacy (if at all).
There are many Europeans I share genealogical origins with that I would vehemently oppose and lack social cohesion with, just as I am sure there are many Mexicans whom I share no blood with that I would have high social cohesion with. It is not a controversial idea that, as an American, I should desire for those who live here to follow the same laws, standards, and patriotic beliefs me and my neighbors adhere to. If you hate America and wish for its demise, break laws, and refuse to live by the few social norms imposed upon you in America, then I genuinely do not want you here.
I don't think climate breakdown, industrial pollution, and microplastic saturation count as nat20s, nor do I think that we'll find a replacement fuel source that can sustain energy demand where it stands right now much less what this civilization would demand between AI/blockchain/metaverse everywhere, for everyone, for everything.

But for a brief period of time we generated a lot of value for shareholders.
You make a valid point. I live in a small city and something’s that matter (what’s going on with road work: bike lanes). I went to a meeting a few years back and had to explain what was going on to a neighbor, because no coverage and the city didn’t post a lot of good information.

A lot of news is too much analysis or “what might happen next” rather than “this just happened and here’s what it means”.
You have many servers receiving orders in a network. Instead of simple TCP/IP packets, they go with multicast and all of them receive the same packets and keep the same state in memory. If one of them fails you can still depend on the others
Show HN: Didtheyhack.me – A Simple, Privacy-Focused Data Breach Checker
Hi HN,

I'm an indie dev with a deep interest in cybersecurity, and I’ve just launched DidTheyHack.me. It's a tool that lets you check if your personal information has been compromised in data breaches.

Key features:

Privacy-first: No passwords or sensitive details are shown in plain text.

Ethical approach: The site gives you just enough information to take action, without exposing more than necessary.

Straightforward: Enter your email or username, and find out if you’ve been part of any known breaches.

I built this because I wanted a simple, ethical tool that respects user privacy while helping them stay informed. It's a small project, but I'm excited to share it with you and get your feedback.

Would love to hear what you think and any suggestions for improvement!

Can you link some of the ten thousand bullet hell games that are written in your preferred style? It seems like so far we have a lot of games written in one style that include certain kinds of complex behaviors and a lot of games written in another style that do not include these. So I am mostly comparing all of the output of ABA Games, ZUN, and almost every Touhou fan shmup on the one side to nothing on the other, rather than saying "wow, it's so impressive that people were able to make the amazing bullet patterns in Stephen's Sausage Roll with just switch statements!"
innerHTML loses all local state, such as which elements have focus or where the cursor is in a text field. Back when React first came out and people were getting used to the idea of VDOM diffing, they had demos front and center about how by using those diffs to only change what needed to change, such local state wouldn't be lost.

This in theory could do something to copy that local state over, or diff the two DOMs directly without a VDOM (though from the sound of it, it probably doesn't).
Hey, I also live in a large metro with a great safety record! Yes, because of some serious engineering. Tons of effort with continual upgrades and maintenance.

And easy _compared to_ vision based systems? Sure! But that’s not even close to the same as “it’s easy”

Do they not mail physical coupons where you are?

Here I'm getting a sheet of coupons in the mail monthly, good for a month. The sheet usually includes a couple for a cheap price on most 6" sandwiches, a couple for a cheap price on most footlong sandwiches, a couple for a cheap price on two footlong sandwiches, a couple for a cheap price on 3 footlong sandwiches, plus deals on various sandwich and drink combos, and a couple for free chips or cookies with any purchase.

They will make a sandwich with wet veggies and condiments on the side if you ask, so I've used the 2 and 3 sandwich coupons to have one sandwich made normally for eating then, and the other one or two made with just bread, cheese, meat, onions, and green peppers with tomatoes and pickles in some cups they have for that, and with mustard, mayo, and vinegar in packets. Those sandwiches keep quite well in the fridge for eating the next day or the day after that.
astro is nearly, if not as, "complex" as react, no?
That seems fixable by making them tell that. I suspsect that most adults realize that there are fees though.
I'm a big fan of Astro, though I could see it being a bit more of an adjustment for JSX users than Svelte users since Astro's syntax was originally based on Svelte.

That said, JSX can be used easily with Astro as long as you get used to at least a bit of The `.astro` syntax for wrapper components and pages/layouts.

Superposition is valid in vacuum, well, actually, until the photons have enough energy to colide and form an electron-positron pair.

It's also valid in most transparent material, again, assuming

1) each photon has no enough energy for example to extract an electron form the material like in the photoelectric effect, or creating an electron and a hole in a semiconductor, or ...

2) there are not enough photons, so you can model the effect using linear equations

And there are weird materials where the non linear effects are easy to trigger.

The conclusion is that superposition is only a nice approximation in the easy case.

It's possible that we are just LLMs with much much more data such that we don't make inconsistencies. And the data is of course just inborn and hardwired into our neural networks rather than learned.

We don't know, so no statement can really be made here.
This is insane.

Is this being used in some codebase? How stable is it? What are the plans for it?

There's also counter evidence that animals lack reasoning abilities. Ever see a gorilla attack it's own reflection or a dog chase it's own tail? Contradictory evidence displaying the ability to reason and the lack of the ability to reason is what is displayed by animals.

Figures that the LLM displays the same contradictory evidence.

But none of this evidence proves anything definitively. Much like human cognition, The LLM is a machine that we built but don't understand. No definitive statement can be made about it.
He has a point, specious arguments to maximising shareholder value are the usual rebuttal, and they are (aside from being a straw man I just invoked) really silly: far far better to spend shareholder value small ways to increase shareholder value in big ways.

Do we still have Turing Test competitions? Now that everybody's used to LLMs, and detecting their style, it might be interesting. I'm not sure the LLMs would do very well against humans who were experienced and alert.

This idea that students are "more generally intelligent" requires specific arguments to support. ChatGPT alone has a vast breadth of knowledge that is impossible for a human to keep up with as well as superior skills to a student in any number of fields. I can find evidence that it has an IQ of around 124 [0] which is going to stretch most students (although in fairness the same article also speculates an IQ of 0).

Students can keep ahead of it with training in specific fields and it has a few weaknesses in specific skills but I think someone could make a reasonable claim that ChatGPT has superior general intelligence.

That’s absolutely not a result of American culture, if anything every American is taught to be the CEO, the big man, the Steve Jobs. In reality it’s multinational business interests that push everyone to become middlemen as that’s cheaper. We moved most of our factories to asian countries, making most forms of American enterprise glorified dropshipping because we can use slave labor there. We import tons of office labor, especially tech jobs, from countries like India, where again it is cheaper. And the legal structure of so many sectors are essentially built to remove jobs from Americans (take for instance the federal limit on US-based doctors).
