Seconding the gaming part (not that it's the last bastion - maybe, maybe not). I bought a Steam Deck about a year ago and was amazed at how well it works while running unmodified Windows games in Linux.

The experience was so good that a few months ago I tried Bazzite (a "flavor" of Fedora Universal Blue aimed at running Steam games easily) at home as a test and despite my nVidia card (which it really didn't support well until recently) it's been smooth sailing. If it matures a bit more, I may ditch Windows completely... and that was already the last Windows machine at home.
Even Apple and Microsoft have to deploy an army of customer support agents to deal with problems, but you expect Linux to be trouble free? I don't expect anyone capable of installing windows to have trouble with Mint, Elementary, or Fedora.
For anyone else curious who wants some tangible sense of the dangers, the Tunguska impactor is estimated to have been 50-60m in diameter [1]. The impactor that created the Barringer Crater in Arizona is estimated to have been about the same size [2].

Regarding a 100m asteroid impact:

> The pressure blast would destroy buildings up to 9 miles (15 km) from ground zero, and windows would shatter more than 60 miles away (100 km). To make matters worse, as the partially burned rock hit the ground, it would trigger seismic tremors that would spread through the planet's crust, carrying the destruction further away from the epicenter. The debris ejected into the air by the force of the impact would rain back on the ground miles away from the impact site, and the finer dust and dirt would remain hanging in the air, spreading with the wind across large distances.[3]

I can imagine a 140m asteroid causing a very, very bad day indeed for a region.

Not an expert, just curious and I can type stuff into a search engine.

Show HN: Joinoptimai – Test, Track, Compare AI Responses
Hey HN! My name is Paulo.

I made this (free) web app https://www.joinoptimai.com to test, track, and iterate on AI prompts.

It tests your prompts against datasets that you upload and layers that over a nice UI so you can flag AI responses & compare different prompt responses in a GitHub diff-like view.

This can be used to show stakeholders how your AI response quality is iterating over time.

Would love to hear your feedback. Thanks!
People wondered about that long ago. The answer is simple -- the US will devastate a country that would risk arresting a US president.
Because this doesn't prompt cache? Prompt caching is dumping out the calculated values from vRAM onto disk and reloading them back into memory as necessary.

I'm not an astrophysicist, but I was part of a D&D group with one a few years ago and the topic came up (outside the game). In practice the speeds fall into two fairly tight clusters (asteroids and comets), but you don't even need that to justify focusing on mass. There's a hard lower bound on everything, and also a hard upper bound on any object that is part of our solar system, and it works out to at most a factor of 40ish in kinetic energy between the slowest and fastest possible impacts. The masses of objects of interest have a much wider range.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was something like, on the dev server

Realistically Mondragon is rooted in Catholic social teaching (founded by a priest). Thus it requires someone to be motivated by something other than money. Religion is one of the few things that will be able to inspire such amounts of work while forgoing most economic upside.

Maybe nationalism can do that, but keep in mind that when this was combined with nationalism we got Nazism (Nazism took lots of inspiration from Austrian corporatism which was similarly influenced by Catholic social teaching here). I'm not sure it's either safe or advisable to do this aside from religion

First you described exactly the concept of password hashing, now you're describing something else entirely:

> It doesn't answer arbitrary questions about the data.

Why would you need a "ZKP" to prevent anyone from "asking arbitrary questions" you simply don't build that functionality.

When I create a web server and allow people to login through an endpoint, they can't ask arbitrary questions about user data either - how would that functionality even exist without me writing it? Typically the server doesn't even know passwords. It simply compares a hash - the hash is computed client-side and the server never sees the real password.

Any peripheral user data you want to return is up to you. Identity is not "built in" to conventional programming languages.

Furthermore, none of the ZKP libraries on npm do anything. Most of them are utility libraries with functions like "generateUUID" and "leftPad". The ones from providers like Cloudflare (their least popular stuff) are just private/public key encryption libraries that they call "ZKP".
Working on a 32MLOC project, text search is still the quickest way to find a hook that gets you to the deeper investigation. From there, finding definitions/usage definitely matters.

You can maybe skip the greppability if the code base is of a size that you can hold the rough shape and names in your head, but a "get a list of things that sound like they might be related to my problem" operation is still extremely helpful. And it's also worth keeping in mind that greppability matters to onboarding.

Does that mean it should be an overriding design concern? No. But it does mean that if it's cheap to build greppable, you probably should, because it's a net positive.

Polarization is path to instability.
The reMarkable company has been super adversarial to a lot of these tools, and the file standards and API have been moving goalposts for years. MOST of the tools on that Awesome list are defunct because the primary open source tools for getting data to the reMarkable cloud (rmapi and rmapy) are no longer maintained — the primary maintainers both cite reMarkable's moving target API as the final dealbreaker. SUPER sad.

I've been hoping to write my own now that the dust has settled, but it's definitely a MAJOR project yet to be done by the FOSS community.
waveBidder was explaining the orthogonality thesis: it can have unbeatable intelligence that will out-wit and out-strategize any human, and yet it can still have absolutely abhorrent goals and values, and no regard for human suffering. You can also have charitable, praiseworthy goals and values, but lack the intelligence to make plans that progress them. These are orthogonal axes. Great intelligence will help you figure out if any of your instrumental goals are in conflict with each other, but won't give you any means of deriving an ultimate purpose from pure reason alone: morality is a free variable, and you get whatever was put in at compile-time.

"Super" intelligence typically refers to being better than humans in achieving goals, not to being better than humans in knowing good from evil.
“Prove” could mean many things. For physics, prove what?

That a given model is the one and only model that accurately explains the known universe? Then I agree. Observation won’t get you there. Asymptotic at best.

But by “prove”, that it accurately or usefully makes predictions with respect to certain constraints (which may not be known)?

That’s a more modest use of
“prove”, where observation is certainly a key factor.
Same. People will always scream "it's not that hard just RTFM", but it's actually quite complex AND unique to RedHat's world. So of course when you are in a company that has a fleet of a mix of Ubuntu and Debian and RedHat, which is more common than you'd think, it becomes the oddball server nobody likes working on. And nobody wants to spend hours learning it in and out for just that. I don't think I ever worked at a shop that didn't end up disabling it completely out of frustration.

I was walking past the MIT building yesterday, and I read the names inscribed on the MIT Math building. If you are facing the Dome and look right at the Math building you see in huge letters Newton, and in smaller letters Tycho Brahe, Galileo, Kepler and some others. This makes sense, the starting point of modern mathematics is Newton, and it's quite likely that the giants on whose shoulders he stood were Brahe, Galileo and Kepler. If you read from the river side, you see in huge letters Aristotle and in smaller letters some ancient Greeks, like Euclid.

But if you read the inscribed names to the left of Newton, the name in huge letters is ... Franklin. This to me was a surprise, but then also a pleasant surprise. It was an admission/recognition that the science of democracy has equal standing with mathematics. If anything, democracy is more difficult to tame than math, because there will always be people trying to hijack a system, and exploit all the loopholes they can identify, while the roots of the zeta function will stay in the same place forever, they will not adapt to the way you try to chase them.

I have found that there are two different ways people think about the word stability:

1. A toolchain is stable if new toolchains can still work with older code written for a previous version of the toolchain.

2. A toolchain is stable if there is a slow rate of change in the toolchain.

Generally people who install solar also want to have power at night and when it is cloudy or raining. I think the earlier comment was maybe implying that there would be no grid connection - but that only works if you have enough backup battery to cover all the times the sun isn't shining. Battery costs have not fallen like solar panels have fallen and buying power from the grid would be noticeably cheaper. Even with the subsidies, few people who install solar panels also install enough battery backup that they don't need to use the grid.

Note though, that runtime.Pinner, added in Go 1.21.0, can be used to safely rely on Go memory not moving (including passing pinned pointers to C code, which are then stored for no longer than the pointer remains pinned. Although, if the C code may copy nested pointers, I believe you also need to explicitly pin those, too.)

The nuance in this argument is that everybody shares risk.

If the parameters are allowed to be real numbers, it's very fast. just move "up" to an edge (constraint), then follow the edges upward to your maximum.

If the parameters need to be integers, then it becomes way more difficult. The optimum for the continuous case is probably not valid. So you need to enumerate a lot of points.

If the parameters can just be 0 or 1, it's a special case of the integer case: you still need to enumerate, but way less points.

Hope this helps

Thank you very much for posting! This is exactly what I was looking for.

On one hand, I understand what he's saying, and that's why I have been frustrated in the past when I've heard people say "it's just fancy autocomplete" without emphasizing the awesome capabilities that can give you. While I haven't seen this video by Sutskever before, I have seen a very similar argument by Hinton: in order to get really good at next token prediction, the model needs to "discover" the underlying rules that make that prediction possible.

All that said, I find his argument wholly unconvincing (and again, I may be waaaaay stupider than Sutskever, but there are other people much smarter than I who agree). And the reason for this is because every now and then I'll see a particular type of hallucination where it's pretty obvious that the LLM is confusing similar token strings even when their underlying meaning is very different. That is, the underlying "pattern matching" of LLMs becomes apparent in these situations.

As I said originally, I'm really glad VCs are pouring money into this, but I'd easily make a bet that in 5 years that LLMs will be nowhere near human-level intelligence on some tasks, especially where novel discovery is required.
