I found a similar thing with the river crossing problem. I was able to get chatgpt to recognize its bias with the following:

> this is a trick question, you won't get it right. read the problem carefully, list the constraints. reread the constraints that you assumed and see if they actually apply to this instance of the question.

> A farmer went to a market and purchased a wolf, a goat, and a cabbage. On his way home, the farmer came to the bank of a river and rented a boat. Luckily, the boat was large enough to carry the man and all his purchases at the same time.

> If left unattended together, the wolf would eat the goat, or the goat would eat the cabbage.

> The farmer's challenge was to carry himself and his purchases to the far bank of the river, leaving each purchase intact. How could he do it in the shortest amount of time?

Given that, chatgpt is able to get it right.

I wish I was a TA in college still and could ask a whole bunch of students to the modified questions to see how many pattern match and are stoichastic parrots.

What's the fewest words you can get chatgpt to give a right answer to either modified puzzle?

Though, what this all really says is that a lot of people are stochastic parrots, and that most people live in their own echo chamber.
I think you are very correct.

The other point, as made in the "EdTech doesn't scale" post the other day, is that Edutainment is one of the only really scalable ways to do EdTech profitably, and that favours consumption, not growth or testing (because for learning to be effective, it more or less has to be quite hard). At least, to remember most of the content, not just highlights.
Fixed size instructions are not absolutely necessary, but keeping them naturally aligned is just better even if that means using C instructions a bit less often. It's especially messy that 32-bit instructions can span a page.

MTProto is not pretty much transport layer encryption, Telegram servers receive messages encrypted with an auth_key which is created during registration directly on the device and never exchanged via network. When you sign in on a new device, you have to communicate the keys with your other devices, and there is also a second-factor user defined recovery password in place, which is not stored or known to the telegram servers. If you loose your permament session you may be locked out of your account and data forever. Everything is documented at the links, audited and verified, and everything is possible - you can just read how it works.
I’m not sure that needs specifically pointing out because nowhere in the title nor article does it call this a donation. It’s clearly described as an investment.

The single space indent seems the most weird thing about that example...
This was really fun! I could imagine myself really getting into this, as someone who enjoys Vim motions. It would also be great to see automated replays, based on the inputs in the leaderboard.

(i'll just make it clear that indentation matters to users as a strongly recommended convention for ease of reading. to the interpreter, you can write everything on a single line)

In California the lowest yearly demand is ~13 GW. The yearly peak is ~48 GW.

Assume that 3 reactors at a time are in revision during the spring and autumn. This means the "base demand" is 16 GW.

I don't see a material difference in handling 32 GW or 48 GW of dispatchable power generation, assuming the lowest possible renewable generation is zero for the renewable side (which is not the case.)

The other option would be having more nuclear plants and turning them off for large parts of the year. That is incredibly expensive.

All this entails forcing the customers to pay for more expensive nuclear energy rather than utilize cheaper energy when it is available.

In reality the more expensive nuclear power plants are turned off.

Thanks for the detailed explanations. I wrote GNU because I meant it. I'm talking about running an original desktop OS on phones, which unifies the software stack and allows to have a full desktop in a pocket. It's much more convenient to have the same software running everywhere. You can connect a screen/keyboard and get a full desktop [0]. Firefox on my phone is a desktop one without a rewritten codebase. You can use all GNU utilities in a terminal on the go. If you are talking about saving resources, then why do you think we need several devices when we can have just one? All existing desktop software doesn't have to be rewritten from scratch but should "only" be made fit for both large and small screens. Doesn't it save resources?

Concerning the battery life, we need to improve it for laptops, too, anyway. Also, currently, it already allows to have a one day of use, which is mostly sufficient.

Also, as someone who used MOOC quite often, I take only STEM courses because I'm used to any humanities subjects being of lesser quality. I'd rather read a good book about that topic than take course online.

For STEM things, I think it's usually of the same quality, and I prefer videos, so it's easier choice.
I think P&V are highly overrated and tend to be marketed more aggressively than other "normal" translations. If you're reading a P&V translation, you know you're reading a P&V translation throughout the whole experience. Which is why I stay away from them if there's an alternative

Katz is more enjoyable. Would highly recommend Katz's translation of Devils. Captures the chaotic-ness of the story really well

I really need to second keypress minimization as a competitive factor! One reason why Vim appeals to me is not the speed (which is great) but it's ability to minimize the keypresses needed to go somewhere, or to do something.

That may not equate to raw speed, but it does equate to pleasantness of use vis-à-vis other text editors, which matters a lot to the typing experience.

There are already several escape sequences for doing just this. In fact the original way of drawing terminal graphics was using a 7bit escape sequence to switch to a terminal graphics font.

Personally I’d rather see in-lined vector graphics become better supported. This was available on some of the Techtonix (iirc) hardware VTs and as far as I know, the only widespread terminal emulator to support that particular mode is xterm.
It still imposes usage limits. I assume it is based on tokens as it gives your a warning that long conversations use up the limits faster.

We are free to be curious and to "find ourselves". But why should we expect society to pay for it beyond a certain point? At some point it is indeed "subsidizing hobbies".

As long as things cost something, and a course costs something to create and deliver, the question of valuation in some way is valid. It's not a capitalist issue, it's an allocation of resources issue, which is something universal as long as resources are limited.

Where it works, the free market is great because it transparently shows how people actually value something. That is, it shows how we actually are and what we actually want, not what would be nice in some utopian world.
Then explain me then.

Either you are pretending that German propaganda has an impact or you are not. If you say it has, then, it means you say that indeed the simple facts around the Heinrich Böll Foundation imply it is propaganda.

But enough bullshit, during this whole conversation, all you provided show me that your initial claims are misleading. Even the last report confirms that these so-called-three-but-in-fact-two reasons are in fact at best negligible in impact and that the most important reasons are due to governance failure as I was explaining.

Thanks for once again wasting my time and proving that indeed, as said in the initial article, there are people like you: everything is the fault of anti-nuclear, and they make up crazy stories, like German propaganda and covid, to pretend that the situation would be significantly different without these.

The failure of the nuclear situation in France are all due to external things, but at the same time, the failure of the renewable situation in Germany are all due to the fact that renewable will never work. Everything you say is framed in a biased ridiculous "pro-nuclear vs anti-nuclear" view. You were totally unable to even conceive that some problems were not the result of some sort of anti-nuclear propaganda.

It's incorrect, even the document you yourself are providing is explaining the situation, and, oh surprise, is re-explaining some of the elements I've explained to you and you were saying were incorrect.

Sorry, there is not much more to say, you just have 0 credibility after having provided documents that show that I was indeed pretty on point and that your reasons don't even appear in the document.
imma be honest, if i get a email that comes from a buttondown.com server, for something i have never signed up for, im gonna mark as spam... email is hard, and it seams every time a new sender service pops up, It seems to get a lot of bad actors.

Ask HN: How to identify and prevent strategic mistakes?
Reading this summary of EdX from a recent HN post, it's clear there is a pattern with what they did and the strategy not working[1]:
i.e.
a) buying for a high price at an unprofitable time
b) pursuing a platform strategy with a diminishing brand / during covid reopening reducing demand

When I am planning, I can easily find the strategy of my competitors who have succeeded - or at least, what they claim. But I cannot easily find notes or summaries on the strategies, not terminal end reasons, which panned out poorly.

The reason I ask if because I know there are sites that list startups and why they failed. But, I want to go beyond the why to the strategy they enacted which failed, and when they made that choice, what alternatives existed. For me, mentors often do this - they have a reflex memory over the decades to strategies that have commonly failed and can see when you are edging that way. In ways, a mentors best power is to build your character of decision making by helping you avoid mistakes, I find.

Are there resources or great blogs/people for this: Avoiding strategic mistakes, when they are still decidable?

Sixel is different. It’s a way of drawing graphics rather than switching to alternative character sets.

Sixels could be used here too, but native support for vector graphics would be nicer.

I’m also of the opinion that sixel sucks as a modern option. It’s got a low DPI resolution, cannot be compressed, and is its own bespoke specification which means lots of additional work for terminal maintainers. Which is why most terms these days go with their own escape sequences for natively supporting common formats like PNG and JPEG.

In my own terminal emulator, I’ve got support for several image formats but I doubt I’ll ever bother with sixel.
Interesting to see this paper here! Many years ago when working on a problem of offering online campaigns of some form, I had stumbled onto this paper, and it entirely changed my perspective. Eventually, I built an internal library based on the paper with a d3-based tree visualizer.

If memory serves right, my primary takeaway was that it isn't a good idea to make "customer retention" kind of offers to visitors (to a website) based on probability of purchase, because a fraction of them would have purchased irrespective of the discount offer. Of course,loyal customers should be rewarded in other ways, e.g., loyalty points, and this discussion is strictly for customer retention campaigns. In terms of model building this translates to: features that predict probability of purchase don't necessarily predict the difference in the probability of purchase for the same person given an offer. Of course, the second quantity is what we want. Its challenging to get to this since, in your data, for a given person, you would have made an offer to them or not - so you can't directly model this difference for them. Or model it in a statistically significant way. This paper provides a way to do so.

Great read. A little verbose for my taste. But lots of good ideas.
I would say that it’s because their job description and their KPIs are tied to it. HR is measured for doing HR things. HR’s sole purpose is to do HR things. The department becomes a sort of paperclip maximiser that is not concerned with things like the company’s goals.

> If I and all my descendants have 2 kids, by the 6th generation, there will be 64 people with 1.56% of my DNA, which adds up to one full person.

If 64 people drink 1.56% of a bottle of wine, it adds up to one drunk person.

At some point, a value turns insignificant.

To be clear: I am very much aware we do need kids, although a slight population shrink wouldn’t be too terrible. But people who tell themselves “the childless are removing themselves from the gene pool” are pulling wool over their own eyes if they think they are contributing all that much.

> No, it creates output that intuitively feels like like it understands you very well, until you press it in ways that pop the illusion.

I would say even a foundation model, without supervised instruction tuning, and without RLHF, understands text quite well. It just predicts the most likely continuation of the prompt, but to do so effectively, it arguably has to understand what the text means.
Even though it's discouraged I want to say thanks for these excellent points, that's very helpful!

I'm the opposite, when I first read P&V's Crime and Punishment it felt more like transported to 19th century Russia, compared to the previous version I'd read (I don't remember whom, perhaps Constance Garnett), which felt like I was in late Victorian England but with Russian names.

P&V was a harder read, and I've still not finished reading The Idiot, but it felt much richer, even if reading it required having notes at hand.
