Applying Cot, Star and Tot to Improve Results over LLMs
What advantage does Australia have over other Asia pacific countries to justify the infrastructure costs? Only Singapore where space is at a premium. Other countries can generally find space (even if over the water) and their worker costs for maintenance will be far lower.
This should really be retitled to “The AI investment bubble is losing hype.” LLMs as they exist today will slowly work their way into new products and use cases. They are an important new capability and one that will change how we do certain tasks.

But as to the hype, we are in a brief pause before the election where no company wants to release anything that would hit the news cycle in a bad way and cause knee-jerk legislation. Are there new architectures and capabilities waiting? Likely some. Sora showed state of the art video generation, OpenAI has demoed an impressive voice mode, and Anthropic has teased that Opus 3.5 will be even more capable. OpenAI also clearly has some gas in the tank as they have focused on releasing small models such as GPT-4o and 4o mini. And many have been musing about agents and methods to improve system 2 like reasoning.

So while there’s a soft moratorium on showing scary new capability there is still evidence of progress being made behind-the-scenes. But what will a state of the art model look like when all of these techniques have been scaled up on brand new exascale data centers?

It might not be AGI, but I think it will at least be enough for the next hype Investment bubble.
Oh, that sounds dystopian - "Ma'am, I'm sorry to inform you that your husband was fatally hit by a car as he attempted to cross the street without his government-mandated V2X tracker; as you are aware, by doing so he triggered the suicide exclusion clause in his insurance policy and forfeited his eligibility"
As both a driver and a pedestrian I would love that engineering solution.

The worst thing about frameworks is that they are an excuse to qualify cowardice, people scared shitless to write original software. There are multiple second order consequences and ethical dilemmas that come from that.
I was replaying specifically to the 'all people go to the same place'. Just as you have highway interchanges, you have railway interchanges (that are much cheaper). Railways can go into multiple directions and intersect with other modes of transports.

I do understand the problem in the way the infrastructure is build in the area and that it isn't easy to just change and go to trains, that's not what I was suggesting.

I was specifically responding too:

"Assuming every single commuter is coming from and going to the same place, sure."

And that if of course nonsense. The whole point of a network is that you can route from one place to another. I didn't propose a whole new transport plan for the whole area. And I am not pretending that within 1 year you can change all of Texas infrastructure. I was simply pointing out a fundamentally flawed argument.

> But this is also kind of a best case of someone taking the train versus driving.

Well, this is the best case in particular situation you are describing where that kind of infrastructure has been under-invested in for 100+ years. Its not the best case for public transit.

It should NEVER take 30 min to swap from one train to another. In all of Switzerland you 90% of all connections are 10min or less. That's for the whole country including buses. If the train infrastructure was more modern and electric, trains could likely be faster. If the buses had their own lanes (not like Texas doesn't have enough lanes) the avg speed of the bus could likely be improved quite a lot.

This is just about infrastructure choices, apparently Texas can build tons of super complex incredibly expensive highway interchanges but an electric train that leaves every 15min is apparently impossible.

DoT in Texas is still on that 1960 highway building mania and is still destroying black neighborhoods so that subburban wight people can get to their office jobs at the oil company or whatever. The first step is recognizing the problem, and they are still working on that.

The whole area seems like its pretty dense with a lot of people, I don't see why it couldn't have good transit. Even just with buses on existing roads. As long as you make some room for them and give them the appropriate priority and so on. A lot could be done for not that much money, if people actually wanted.

On of the biggest problem in the US is that your tax system if fundamentally unfair and massively subsidizes suburbia. That's arguable one of the most important things that need to change. I strongly suggest looking at the work done by Urban3 and Strong Towns.
Maybe they get some royalties by having it as an option?
Being able to track a bus via GPS works well like this. It doens't matter if the bus is 20 minutes late, if you can check that the bus is 4 minutes away.

A bit like usnig the metro. You don't know the schedule, you just know the realative time to the next train

Totally on point. I think the synergy makes it doubly interesting.-
There are lots of examples of non-composable transformations. Two functions are not necessarily composable. Call/cc does not compose with the current continuation, whereas delimited continuations do.

Algorithmic transformations are algorithmic. The result is well-defined.

It is a succinct way of saying that a transducer is a well-defined (in terms of input and output) transformation that can be combined with other transducers.

I'm all but certain that a CTE and an unindexed view are treated identically in the planning phase.

The schema.org data is much more rich than meta tags, though. Using the latter, an author is just a string of text containing who-knows-what. The former lets you specify a name, email address, and url. And that's just for the Person type—you can specify an Organization too.

I think the best UX for async actions with optimistic UI updates would be having an (attention-grabbing?) indicator when an action is added and then another when it completes as well as indicating the number of pending (i.e. unconfirmed) actions and a persistent indicator if any of the actions failed.

While Singapore is a surprisingly martial country, if they get into a war with anyone in SEA they're running a very real risk of being destroyed. Indonesia alone has 5x their GDP and 20x their population. There isn't much difficulty choosing which city to target first when going up against Singapore either.

In Singapore's situation, they can probably invest assuming that they are not in a military conflict with anyone. If they get into a war with anyone who can cut that cable they will be returning to the stone age anyway. If Indonesia objects to them they will go, if someone with the power to coerce Indonesia objects to them they're in deep trouble.

I used to think like you. But then I realized the Atmega 328p is running at 16 MHz, so even hundreds of . As you can see here[1], it can do 94k double-precision FLOPS, more than enough for simple sketches like this. This jives with the benchmarks I did several years ago.

Sure if I was writing some tight control loop or similar I wouldn't use floating point.

> I think this is the fourth submission in the past 10 days.

I just checked those submissions, and it turned out they were posted in a single day (August 10th) with an eleven-hour time frame! The first submission was at 05:48 AM, the second at 06:37 AM (within less than an hour from the first), and the third at 16:24 PM, which raises one of the weirdest behaviors of the HN system (at least for me): "How or why on earth some submissions got accepted as 'duplicates' where others did not? ". I encounter this a lot when I try to submit a story and it gets rejected because it was already submitted. Sometimes, even if the original story is a month old or more!!

Might be a perception bias, but I DO notice that many, at least not infrequently, drivers near me either do not use their turn signals, or activate them _way_ too late.

It's like they were never told "the turn signal is to communicate your intent, in advance" Like at least 0.5 - 1 blocks in advance (depending on speed) on normal surface streets. The whole goal is to give the driver behind you at least 5 seconds to react to that intent.

Something similar came up when Ukraine sunk the Moskva. Some speculated that the Russian radar systems would require an operator to focus on a screen for hours at a time, while most western systems would notify the operator when something unexpected happened. This pretty much ensured that a soldier would fail during wartime.

It's not that the US navy should operate by forcing sailors to forgo sleep, but their systems should be able to be operated by someone who has had very little sleep during actual combat. Touch screens seems counter to that. Two physical throttles, which can be moved either individually or together would be a much clearer indication of the current mode. Humans can feel extremely small misalignments, but trying to line up two lines on a monitor and we need to hold up a piece a paper to check if they are 100% aligned.
non-sso authentication isn't nearly as support intensive. Sure there are support requests for 'regular' authentication but it's usually the "I can't remember my email" or "I can't remember my password" type stuff - easy replies.

Undoubtedly a reference to CMU's Andrew project [1], which was an experimental distributed computing environment from the 1980s - with an emphasis on providing infrastructure for pedagogy.

I think the problem with any sort of ontology type approach is the problem isn't solved when you have defined the one ontology to rule them all after many years of wrangling between experts.

As what you have done is spend many years generating a shared understanding of what that ontology means between the experts. Once that's done you have the much harder task for pushing that shared understanding to the rest of the world.

ie the problem isn't defining a tag for a cat - it's having a global share vision of what a cat is.

I mean we can't even agree on what is a man or a women.

> Even looking at something that explicitly says "Your order has been placed!" leaves people in a state of nervous suspense until we find a text message or an email to verify.

This. Also true for both my wife and me. One of the worst offenders here are contact forms - it's increasingly rare you get any copy or confirmation via e-mail that your message was actually recorded, so once you submit the form and see a success page, you really can't be sure if your message was delivered, or even if it left your browser in the first place. Takes one little JavaScript fuckup for the message to be lost, and your only indication may be an error message in development console.

Related, at one of my previous employer's, there were some documents I was interested in that had restricted access; when trying to open them, I'd get an access request form asking me to provide a reason. I filled it several times over couple of months, but never got any reply. Then one day, I mentioned it randomly to my boss, to which he told me that this form just goes straight to /dev/null...

I hate this article. It's a very smug way of blaming the dev who's just trying to make the app better when it's probably the culture that's the problem. Bad refactors usually happen because the person doing the refactor is getting a ton of pushback on it -- they probably underestimated the effort involved and are getting chewed out for taking too long on it, so they cut corners that might accidentally lose functionality, or they don't finish the desired abstraction / clean code they were going for which leaves the code less readable.

For a dev that's a new hire, refactoring the code is also a way for them to feel ownership over it. The PM should be happy that they're thinking about the way the code works and the way the code should work. It's on the company to have review & qa processes that catch problems before they lead to downtime.

I don't disagree that some of the examples given are bad refactors, but in regards to adding inconsistency I see that happen a lot more when rushing out new features or bug fixes than when refactoring; usually the refactor is the effort trying to establish some kind of consistency. And example 5 isn't a refactor it's just removing functionality. If that was the intent, the person should be told not to do that. If it's an accidental side effect of some larger refactor effort, then just add the functionality back in a new PR. Accept that mistakes happen, adopt some QA controls to catch them, and build a culture that encourages your developers to care about your product.

I'm a bit surprised that the author doesn't mention key concepts such as linked data, RDF, federation and web querying. Or even the five stars of linked open data. [1] Sure, JSON-LD is part of it, but it's just a serialization format.

The really neat part is when you start considering universal ontologies and linking to resources published on other domains. This is where your data becomes interoperable and reusable. Even better, through linking you can contextualize and enrich your data. Since linked data is all about creating graphs, creating a link in your data, or publishing data under a specific domain are acts that involves concepts like trust, authority, authenticity and so on. All those murky social concepts that define what we consider more or less objective truths.

LLM's won't replace the semantic web, nor vice versa. They are complementary to each other. Linked data technologies allow humans to cooperate and evolve domain models with a salience and flexibility which wasn't previously possible behind the walls and moats of discrete digital servers or physical buildings. LLM's work because they are based on large sets of ground truths, but those sets are always limited which makes inferring new knowledge and asserting its truthiness independent from human intervention next to impossible. LLM's may help us to expand linked data graphs, and linked data graphs fashioned by humans may help improve LLM's.

Creating a juxtaposition between both? Well, that's basically comparing apples against pears. They are two different things.

The zoom at the end of the video is the interesting part. The body proportions discard an occicat. There are several species that could fit. Leopardus pardalis ocelote is the most probable, but we need to remind that Leopardus wiedii, the margay, has been registered in Texas. Without a size reference (Occelot is bigger) both are indistinguishable.

This if we assume that is not a lost pet. Seems well feed and active, so probably not, but there are several South-American species more that could fit, like the Tigrillo Leopardus tigrinus. All are smaller than an occelot
Towards the bottom, it states:

It turns out that the Pacific Time Zone is the only one where the bug caused a user visible difference because:

1. Daylight saving time starting or ending changes the time zone offset by just one hour.
2. The bug only has an effect when the difference in the number of hours goes from less than a day to at least a day, or vice versa (e.g. 23 to 24 or 24 to 23).

The only hour of the day that satisfies those two conditions is 11:00pm, and the only time zone where daylight saving time starts and ends at 11:00pm is the Pacific Time Zone.
Don't worry I can be pretentious enough without having to invoke artists you've never heard of; it's not about that!

I have a broader concern for how new artists are supposed to get discovered without a promotion engine behind them. Yes it's always been hard to get started, but the distribution of attention has really become much more top heavy in recent years. I know one guy who played Wembley stadium and still couldn't give up his day job which he was sure he would have been able to do following a gig of that size in the 90s. Yeah so he had a good number of monthly listeners, but it illustrates how the distribution has changed.

Plenty of people on the long tail deserve to be discovered, and use of AI to recommend music - in place of collaborative filtering - really has the potential to fix that.

PS. We were talking monthly listeners weren't we, so you'll be excited to know that fractional fans exist already ;-)
