Given that oftentimes you get a range of estimated distances (in megaparsecs, MPc), maybe you can show the galaxy as a line instead of a point. The innermost end of the line would be the closest estimated distance. The furthest out end of the line would be the furthest estimated distance. You can put the median estimated distance as a dot on the line. Either that or you'd have to use the median estimated distance for a singular point.

Andromeda we have pretty-well established at 0.78 MPc, and M32 at 0.77 MPc.

NGC 7768 at 120 MPc.

Whereas the largest galaxy we currently know of, ESO 383-G 076, is at 200.59 ± 14.12 MPc. That gives a variability in distance far larger than the distance to most of our nearby closest galaxies!

...umm. Am I the only one who feels like this takes away much of the value proposition, and that it also runs heavily against their stated safety goals? My dream is to interact with tools like this to learn, not just to be told an answer. This just feels very dark. They're not doing much to build trust here.
systemd made time servers a compile-time option and a warn if distros are using the default time servers:

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/554

What's your suggested alternative?

Using pool.ntp.org requires a vendor zone. systemd does not consider itself a vendor, it's the distros shipping systemd which are the vendor and should register and use their own vendor zone.

I don't care about systemd either way, but your own false representation of facts makes your last paragraph apply to your "argument".

Isn’t the gradient descent used, stochastic gradient descent? I think that could matter a little bit.

Also, the base model when responding to base64 text, most of the time the next token is also part of the base64 text, right? So presumably the first thing to learn would be like, predicting how some base64 text continues, which, when the base64 text is an encoding of some ascii text, seems like it would involve picking up on the patterns for that?

I would think that there would be both those cases, and cases where the plaintext is present before or after.

I'm trying not to look at it as a potential career-ending event, but rather as another tool in my tool belt. I've been in the industry for 25 years now, and this is way more of an advancement than things like IntelliSense ever was.

Teaching LLMs to solve chess puzzles with DSPy and Finetuning
Show HN: Hacker News for Creators/Makers
To be honest, if the bottom 50th percent of coding talent is going to be obsolete, I wonder what happens to rest of the "knowledge workers" in those companies. I mean people whose jobs consist of attending Teams meetings, making fancy powerpoint slides and reports, perhaps even excel if they are really competent. None of that is any more challenging for LLM than writing code. In fact replacing these jobs should be easier, since presentations and slides do not actually do anything, unlike a program that must perform a certain action correctly.
The fact that I don't find any flaw in the reasoning shows one thing: either this new o1 is crazy good and this getting pretty close to AGI... or I'm too bad at maths

Advanced reasoning will pave the way for recursive self-improving models & agents. These capabilities will enable data flywheels, error-correcting agentic behaviors, & self-reflection (agents understanding the implications of their actions, both individually & cooperatively).

Things will get extremely interesting and we're incredibly fortunate to be witnessing what's happening.

> By their very definition, the more typed a language gets, the less programs it can represents. That obviously reduces buggy programs, but it also reduces non-buggy programs that you can implement.

While I generally share your skepticism, I think this is quite wrong. A good part of the point of advanced type systems is to make more complex problems possible while still being well typed. For example, in C, if you want a function whose return type is tied to an input argument's type, you either use void* and casts (no type safety), or you don't write that function. In languages with even slightly more advanced type systems, you can write that function and still get full type safety.

Even more advanced type systems achieve the same things: you can take programs that can only be written in a simpler type system and make them safe. In standard Haskell, for example, you can't write a Monad and actually have the compiler check that it respects the Monad laws - the implementation of Monad functions just assumes that any type that implements the right shape of functions will work as a monad. With dependent types, you can actually enforce that functions designed to work with monads only apply to types that actually respect the monad laws.

The trade-off with very complex type systems is different, in my opinion: after some point, you start duplicating your program's logic, once in the implentation code, but again in the type signatures. For example, if you want to specify that a sort function actually sorts the input list, you might find that the type specification ends up not much shorter than the actual code of the function. And apart from raw effort, this means that your type specifications start being large enough that they have their own bugs.

I have never had to process any animals myself or even bring them to a butcher. Considering your whole post is based off that faulty assumption I'll end replying to you directly there.

Consider yourself lucky. I grew up in cow country. Most farmers will provide you the meat itself and leave it up to you to process the meat or find a processor. Having the meat sent to a processor (or butcher) is an extra service that you pay separately for.

I don’t believe any proxy could route traffic dynamically the way cf tunnels (and traefik for that matter) do without being able to read the unencrypted http requests. That’s a trade off I’m making and aware of, because I don’t want to use a VPN to access my services. (Another big trade off is cf only tunnels HTTP traffic, so I can’t use SSH keys to reach my self hosted gitea repos. Honestly that’s a bigger motivator to me to find another solution)

Doordash's disruptive idea was to entirely capture the experience of ordering from the restaurants, up to and including registering websites for the restaurants and pretending like they had an agreement with each restaurant on their listing. At one point if you placed a Doordash order there were some restaurants they would just place a call to and then have a driver pick up from there like it was an individual order.
While the reasoning and output of ChatGPT is impressive (and, imho, would pass almost all coding interviews), I'm primarily impressed with the logical flow, explanation and thoroughness. The actual coding and problem solving isn't complex, and that gets to your question: someone (in this case, the OP), still needed to be able to figure out how to extract useful data and construct a stimulating prompt to trigger the LLM into answering in this way. As others have posted, none of the popular LLMs behave identically, either, so becoming an exert tool-user with one doesn't necessarily translate to the next.

I would suggest the fundamentals of computer science and software engineering are still critically important ... but the development of new code, and especially the translation or debugging of existing code is where LLMs will shine.

I currently work for an SAP-to-cloud consulting firm. One of the singlemost compelling use cases for LLMs in this area is to analyze custom code (running in a client's SAP environment), and refactor it to be compatible with current versions of SAP as a cloud SaaS. This is a specialized domain but the concept applies broadly: pick some crufty codebase from somewhere, run it through an LLM, and do a lot of mostly copying & pasting of simpler, modern code into your new codebase. LLMs take a lot of the drudgery out of this, but it still requires people who know what they're looking at, and could do it manually. Think of the LLM as giving you an efficiency superpower, not replacing you.

I'd like to see the ratio of hours with AC on vs off fleet-wide after the first year.

From a 2019 IEA report:
"Estimates from the literature reveal that around 6% of the annual global energy consumed by cars is used for MAC(mobile air conditioning), varying by country between about 3% and 20% depending on climate, driving patterns and traffic congestion. It can peak at over 40% in warm climates and congested traffic. This equates to around 1.2 Mboe/d consumed by MAC units in cars alone, with other road vehicles adding another 0.6 Mboe/d. For electric vehicles, MAC can reduce driving range by up to 50% on hot and humid days."

Right, that’s my point. We only disagree about what “correct tooling” means. Since PHP and Go have everything needed I prefer not adding more abstractions and dependencies, for less code, fewer black boxes, and fewer external dependencies.

Programmers comfortable writing in PHP and Go with their comprehensive standard libraries can also work with frameworks if necessary, but those who can’t get stuck as Laravel developers, baffled by the much larger number of projects and existing code that doesn’t use their “correct tooling.”
Damn, if the intent of electrifying the fleet is to be more ecologically friendly, allowing these older vehicles to be recirculated seems like a compelling thing to do. I suppose the weird configuration of these vehicles doesn't make it a very good option as a personal vehicle, so destroying them is probably just as ecological as selling them to hobbyists like me. It will be sad to see these things disappear from existence though. They've been a part of my life since I was a kid.

I used to get sleep paralysis a lot. Almost daily. Easiest to trigger when you’re falling asleep but your mind is racing. At one point you’ll notice that your body has fallen asleep but your mind has not yet.

At this point you have two options:

1. Just wait. You’ll fall asleep soon and then all good

2. Focus very very hard on moving something. Eventually your body gives way and unlocks. Now you can move

These days I use option 1 when going to bed. Got so used to it that I don’t notice the paralysis part anymore. Option 2 is good when you need to get up in the morning or when you were startled awake (or just need to pee) at night and your body hasn’t caught up yet.

Ok I guess I still get sleep paralysis a lot but I got used to how it feels heh

Hypnagogic hallucinations, sleep pralysis, sleep walking and night terrors I've had but the most fucked up one I've had is compulsive night eating. The sleep walking was also night eating but a bit diffeent: unconcious rather than compulsive. I wonder if there really is a big difference. If you've never had a true compulsion, I have to tell you it's a lot stranger than you think. I could stand there and tell myself to stop repeatedly and reason with myself, even put obstacles and reminders in my way ahead of time but it was like I was just a passanger in my own body. It took me two years of fighting it full time. Literally harder to stop than actual drug addiction. I think it came from a sleep medication that I had discontinued by then but the damage somehow stayed with me.

What worked was eating a lot much later before bed and then still doing battle with all my other tricks like obstacles, etc.

Recurring nightmare hallucinations suck too though. I used to wake up absolutely certain there were snakes in my bed, get up, turn on the light and look through my bed. It took me minutes to fully wake up and realize it was a dream. I think I was able to fix that by imagining the dream but with a pleaeant ending before I went to sleep. I'm not sure if that works but it did stop after that. I didn't even know recurring nightmares were a thing. I thought that was just from movies.
I have this. When it first started I thought there were like secret gang wars going on in my apartment complex. I would wake up hearing a BANG. I called 911 a couple of time even thinking it was gunshots, but they police said no one else heard anything. I started asking my neighbors if they had heard it too. That's when I started to realize that I was hearing things. I talked to my doctor and that's when I learned about exploding head syndrome.
I certainly wouldn't want to live forever one way or the other, but most people who talk about living longer mean slowing or halting the aging process, not simply surviving more years as a decaying husk.
> Also: we're not on the cusp of WW3.

How could you know that? Are you a time traveller? It is unlikely in any specific year, but over 100 years a 1% chance is likely to happen and the risks seem elevated right now. There isn't anything in particular stopping WW3 and there are lots of ways it could happen (open war with Russia, China or Iran spring to mind, civil war in the US spiralling globally is thinkable, the EU is re-arming and something absurd might happen there for a 3rd time). The US doesn't have the economic sway it used to either, it appears unable to just dictate military terms to its competitors right now which has been a major factor for the last 70 years.

Even a good argument isn't comforting. There were really good arguments why WW1 and WW2 wouldn't break out. In the case of WW2 for example, it was pretty foreseeable what could happen - devastation of Europe, probable defeat of the Germans by a large coalition and a roughly century-long occupation. No real upside for them. Happened anyway. And famously before WWI there was that book that correctly argued that the economic interconnections between European powers was so great that war could only bring economic ruin - which also happened to be right in hindsight, WWI set up some of the most catastrophic economic conditions ever seen and was also the death knell of Europe's long term economic dominance.
I get this too occasionally.

I don’t know. The public’s perception - encouraged by the AI labs because of copyright concerns - is that the outputs of the models are entirely new content created by the model. Search results, on the other hand, are very clearly someone else’s content. It’s therefore not unfair to hold the model creators responsible for the content the model outputs in a different way than search engines are held responsible for content they link, and therefore also not unfair for model creators to worry about this. It is also fair to point this out as something I neglected to identify as an important permutation of “safety.”

I would also be remiss to not note that there is a movement to hold search engines responsible for content they link to, for censorious ends. So it is unfortunately not as inconsistent as it may seem, even if you treat the model outputs as dependent on their inputs.
