There is any number of people discussing o1 from the context of their field. So again, why are we valuing one set of discussions above another? Terence Tao may be great, but he's not the end all, be all of commentary. There's plenty of other PhDs talking about this very same thing.

Good news, you tend to care less about stylish by the time you need bifocals. I have leveled up to the point at which I can wear bifocals and suspenders without giving any fucks. Probably because they no longer alter my probability of getting one.
> I haven't found anything on Substack compelling enough justify spending sometimes ~$10/month on a single writer.

Exactly. I might go for some package of 100 or so writers, with only their best stuff that week/month. But the reality is, the writers still wouldn't be making all that much money; not as much as Ted is.

It would be similar to being in the chorus for a Broadway show with Patti Lupone: she's making a whole bunch; you're at least getting paid.

The uptimed package they told you to install also exists on for example FreeBSD. And from the table it looks to be available on platforms like aarch64 (64-bit ARM), and powerpc too. (Unsurprisingly, given the very straightforward-to-implement thing it does.)

So to answer your statement: No, and no.

And all the program does is keep track of the highest uptime your system has ever had. And the website takes these records from users, and presents the submitted data online.

I dont think the website is even made by the same people, probably.

Most people would likely not engage with that commentary simply because they don't enjoy the same celebrity status as Tao. Yet, I think those voices are equally important to be heard. Terence isn't the only PhD/professional using or discussing these tools.
> But it's gone way overboard. I've looked at what raytracing can do. In an intellectual way it's impressive. But it doesn't really improve the experience of playing most games, which is driven by writing and gameplay.

I understand that sentiment, but the implementation of ray tracing as part of an improved game experience is bound also to game devs. Art direction and game design are other key aspects of this.

That's why I don't see how Sony can be to blame for this. As for the 700$ price tag, I don't think it's cheap, and I'm not buying it, but I don't think 300$ for a Nintendo Switch is cheap either.
This book was the subject of an episode of the cortex podcast: https://www.relay.fm/cortex/21

I'm curious if you think think their take on the book was fair? (I realize that that's a lot to ask). Their basic take was that the book had some good ideas but was bizarrely written and much too long.

I haven't felt the need to read it myself since they summarized what they believe to be the valuable parts of the book in the episode.

What a fantastic take. Actually seeing your labor affect the world in real time. I feel there should be a word for it. Knowledge economy workers are highly trained and skilled, but I've always had the suspicion that many of us have a general malaise that their job is 30% actual work, 30% politicking, 40% justifying your salary because the job is now a part of their personality and raises social status or pays the kids private school tuition.

The obvious outcome is overwork, depression, and in some places - sane people jumping off buildings. I'll claim it's quite rare to find stone masons jumping off cliffs because the job has them at their wits end.
Of course there is, but there's a huge amount of noise too. Signal below the noise floor can't be eyeballed.
The tool that they tell you to install is https://github.com/rpodgorny/uptimed which is open source

I’m pretty sure that it’s shell specific whether it works precisely because it defers it to the shell. For windows cmd in particular it’s… not great.

What I mean is I’d like git to do it natively. But git was written assuming a posix shell and it shows up here and there sadly.

Example:

git command1 —-flag1 <some_separator> command2 —-flag2

Should be possible for git to simply interpret sequentially.

Japan and Russia don't have armies ready to kill each other standing by at each others' borders. There is no peace treaty to be signed between NK and SK because the conflict behind the war is still unresolved. They are actively sending spies to sabotage each other. NK built nukes specifically because of this conflict. They didn't build ICBMs for the sake of it, they built it to nuke america because of this active state of war.
Things are not so simple: how do you key the cipher? with the same randomness as the input string? If so, then that input distribution could be a bad one for the cipher, in that it might fail to generate a sufficiently scrambled output.

This can be mitigated if you use a unkeyed hash function instead, but even for these we don't have any provable guarantees unless you assume the function is a random oracle, which is an ideal object that cannot exist.
I think they look pretty cool.

I’ve always been a bit wary of putting a static site on S3 specifically - what happens if I piss someone off, and they have a botnet just load my site a zillion times? A few kb * a zillion = large egress bill.

> Note there is a concept traffic engineers use called "the 85th percentile rule" that helps design highways by setting the speed limit for maximum compliance. Using this rule leads to the safest roads.

The fundamental flaw in this concept is that it completely ignores that 1) the ideal speed depends on external circumstances and intended road use, and that 2) road design heavily influences driving speed. If you want to have a safe road network, you have to design it for a specific speed. When done properly, drivers will naturally be driving at the intended speed. Speeding doesn't happen because it doesn't feel safe to speed.

Highways have to be straight and wide, without any level crossings. People are supposed to drive at high speeds, so it is designed in such a way that it is safe to do so, and it feels safe to do so. Local access roads are narrow, twisty, have relatively poor visibility, and are equipped with things like speed bumps. You're supposed to drive at slow speeds because there are lots of level crossings and driveways, so they are intentionally designed to make high-speed driving unsafe to the point of being physically impossible.
I don’t think it’s that unusual, I have 3 that immediately spring to mind. Whenever I hear Slipknot’s Iowa album I think of a MUD called Wolfenburg that I played a ton of at the time. NIN’s The Fragile triggers memories of reading the Diceman and smelling L’eau D’Issey reminds me of Berlin.

> You can be pretty liberal about cells in parallel, it's series that bites you.

Yeah but at least the BMS he uses does balancing to (hopefully) keep the series packs from going into dangerous voltage territory.

A dodgy cell in a parallel pack however, there's no way a standard BMS can detect that, hence pre-install measuring and matching... of course you can go for individual cell protection as well or buy cells with built-in protection but the former is overcomplicated (and hard to get right) for a DIY project, and the latter not an option as the cells from vapes don't have a need for protection circuitry. Hence, matching is a must.

> He's using a 5s arrangement, it looks like - so his 100w fast charging will only be around 5-6A, not 30A, which those wires will probably be OK with (though i would have picked something thicker myself)

Fair point, but still, that's not looking remotely near the 0.5 mm² that one should use for 5-6 amps of current.

Trying to be efficient is the best way to avoid flow state. Flow comes from doing, not from thinking. Flow is globally efficient but locally inefficient because doing is doing and optimizing is something else.
The physical principle is the same as the moka pot, the water boil in the tank and the steam pass through coffee. The main difference is that in the moka the steam flows from down to up and in the kamira from up to down and it's not going to burn the coffee dust.
I can assure that the coffee with kamira is exactly like the one that you can taste in a bar.

I think this has existed for many years, what is new is that the maximum amount has been increased significantly due to push from an anti-immigration parti that the current goverment is dependent on.

Now if you sold everything you owned to come to Europe and now you live in a bad neighbourhood and can't find a job, can't even understand the language, and hate the weather but don't have the money to move back this money could be your way out of a miserable life.

But honestly, last year only one person took advantage of this offer so the anti-immigration folks are probably way off in their calculations, as per usual.
On the other hand, if you use an LLM to generate code, all you have to do is change models, or adjust the model's temperature, or simply prompt the model a second time and you can expect the result to be teeming with a fresh batch of new flaws and surprising failure modes. An endless supply of debugging without the inconvenience of having to write a program to begin with!
Thank you, this was a very illuminating answer for me - especially when you mentioned downsampling.

I got a letter from the IRS for ~$300. I’m pretty sure the first letter was sent by some automated system of theirs with a bug, and the subsequent letters were some IRS employee trying to cover their ass.

Here’s the sequence of events.

- IRS: You misreported your gain on this one specific trade.

- Me: I checked and the trade is listed with the amounts you claim on the broker’s 1099-B that I sent to you. Here are the 1099-Bs with the transaction highlighted.

- IRS: We’ve already seen your 1099-Bs. Please prove to us the amounts sum to the aggregate.

- Me: Here is a spreadsheet showing all the transactions and the sums.

- IRS: OK OK. What about this other totally unrelated transaction then that is now being mentioned for the first time?

With every single reply, the IRS took months to respond. Each reply was literally just one sentence. They sent me periodic form letters just saying “we’re working on a reply” because apparently there’s some law saying they are required to reply within some number of days. The phone number they provided for me to call was literally just an automated system.

The unrelated transaction was for a huge amount on some stock I had not traded at all. At this point a friend referred me to a tax lawyer who told me to just pay the $300 so the IRS would stop harassing me. Paraphrasing the lawyer: “my rate is a lot higher than $300.”

This incident turned me against the IRS. I’m sorry about your relative but I have no hesitation vilifying them.

In contrast, the CA DMV once sent me a letter asking for $300 because a vehicle’s old registration hadn’t been cancelled. It was a hassle but every time I called in I got a human being, and on the last call the collections person saw the error in their database and fixed it on the spot. Frustrating but not malicious. The IRS on the other hand…
Ask HN: Facebook blocked our Ayreon tribute band's page, how to contact staff?
I'm in a Dutch tribute band that performs the music of Arjen Lucassen (also Dutch), which I'm sure some people here might have heard of. We are frequently in touch with Arjen and have his full blessing to play his music, and have his written consent for using Ayreon in our name (Ayreon Project).

Now suddenly, in the weeks before live shows where ticket sales are critical, Facebook has blocked our page (https://www.facebook.com/ayreonproject) with as stated reason that we are impersonating someone fraudulently. We have submitted an appeal with no success, and now seemingly have no other recourse to take and our page is apparently scheduled to be fully deleted in 30 days.

We're pretty desperate to get our page back along with the, for us, significant amount of followers and history. If we could talk to an actual person we could explain that we have full permission and blessings to use the name Ayreon Project and provide any proof required.

Any advice on how to proceed here? It just doesn't seem fair.
I do believe Chromium still has to be patched to support HW decode via vaapi, while recent Firefoxen turn it on out of the box. So it's likely that Chromium is using software rendering, bypassing any driver-related bugs.

More modern iPhones (14 onward and 15pro onward) are a lot easier to replace the battery. No need to remove the screen anymore, it can all be done from the back side. Apparently the pull tabs for the batteries are a lot better, as well.

Still requires heat, but I’m not sure I’d call a little heat and some pry tools particularly “special” tools.

It’s a compromise being made to achieve better rigidity and waterproofing. Seems like a reasonable trade off, honestly, for something that needs to be changed maybe every few years.
>>The capital of France is not subjective. People say stuff. Some of it is subjective, and some of it is just wrong.

>"The capital of France" has only one correct answer, even if there are other answers in the training data.

"Champagne is the Champagne capital of France". "Bordeaux is the red wine capital of France". See how easy it is? You're pedantry is only proving that you're a pedant and can't accept anything but you being the only one who is correct. Ease up, bro. We can both be right.

But none of that is about LLMs, I'm just proving a separate point.

>So what's your actual argument here?

A system that's programmed to generate plausible sounding text is "right" when it generates plausible sounding text. It's not "hallucinating", it's not "lying", it's not "wrong", it is operating exactly as designed, it was never programmed
to deliver "the truth". It's up the the reader to decide if the output is acceptable, which is entirely subjective to what the reader thinks is right. If the LLM says "Bordeaux is the red wine capital of France" are you going to shit on it and say it's somehow "wrong"? NO ITS WROOOONG THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE TRUE CAPITAL OF FRANNNNNNCEEEE!!! Go ahead and die on that hill if you must.

If this were another website, I'd have blocked you already, because this is entirely a waste of my time.
Apple hasn’t ever said you have to use their specialized tools for repair.

Laws were passed requiring Apple to make their specialized tools, and the instructions to use them, available to consumers… so they did. And now the same people are criticizing them for doing exactly what was asked.

When and if they make available cheap tools to perform battery repairs at home, the same cast of characters will come out of the woodwork saying that the Apple Monopoly is unfairly targeting iFixit’s low-cost self-service repair business.

It seems like the HN audience feels ripped off by the $500 they paid for Mac Pro wheels, and plan to get their money’s worth by installing them on the goal posts instead.

Plenty of banks will freeze your bank account instantly.

And good luck convincing them that you stumbled upon $400k by solving a puzzle - only takes one suspicious fraud/risk manager to conclude that there’s a higher chance of fraud than legitimacy.

I disagree, it is still war-proper if you have troops amassed at each others border, constantly training to invade each other and developing weapons (NK's ICBM aresnal) specifically to target the other guys (you need ICBMs to target america,not SK). If american policy changed and america withdrew troops from SK, there will be a continuation of the Korean war, since NK's leadership believes the US is the only thing standing in their way of unifying the korean people.

These types of vehicles have been banned from main roads in Metro Manila since April.

The problem is, people without a driver's license can operate them, owing to the "bike" classification or lack of vehicle classification. Imagine a person who lacks knowledge of traffic rules driving a heavy, high-speed vehicle on chaotic Philippine roads.

The typical use-case of these vehicle is "hatid-sundo," or parents driving their children to and from school. I have yet to see a driver or the children wear helmets.

However, soon these vehicles will require registration and proper classification, and only licensed drivers will be permitted to operate them.
