Sam Altman's speech is hollow, lacking substance and political reflection. He talks about "prosperity," but does not address its fair distribution. For example, our current global agriculture produces enough food for all of humanity, but that does not prevent people from starving, partly because we waste food, but also because we inefficiently feed non-human animals with this food, and then eat the animals. Artificial intelligence can, in the same way, result in increased inequalities, despite supposedly growing "prosperity." If we continue within a neoliberal capitalist system, which is the current trajectory in most countries, especially in the United States, the fruits of the labor of robots, artificial intelligences, and consequently the increase in labor productivity, will end up almost entirely in the pockets of a minority of shareholders, rather than benefiting all of humanity, as is already the case. We already have charts showing that productivity growth outpaces median wage growth, which indicates that wealth is concentrating in the hands of a minority, which overall harms our society. In a nutshell, his speech seems more like a fundraising pitch to convince shareholders than the speech of someone reflecting on artificial intelligence as a means of human emancipation.

It's a security question to access information on the account over the phone. It's not used in the web based system, which is completely detached from the phone system.
Good point.

I'm used to most libraries being part of a national system of libraries, which will get you volumes shipped from another one if they don't have it there.

Local curation doesn't mean much
since your main interface to those libraries nowadays is a digital one that has pretty much any physical media with an ISBN in it, from where you can request non-locally-available media.

Maybe the states operate differently and (school) libraries are more independent. Most schools here don't have their own library at all and instead rely on the nearest public one...
> You're an atheist, and I assume a first generation atheist, what was your path towards that belief if they really had that level of control over your lived experience, worldview, and knowledge?

I became an atheist when I was a teenager. Before that the idea of religion was just something taught to me by my parents. I was taught to pray and that there was a God above, and all that. (It was actually a bit more complicated than that, as my parents had different religions each).

I was, however, given the freedom to explore my own ideas about religion and to develop my own views about the world once I was a little older. Honestly, I think they handled it all quite well.

For that matter, if my daughter decides to be religious once she grows up a little, she will also have my support.

My way to view this is that while she is a baby and later a small girl I am fully responsible for her. As she grows up, the more I will be on the background, and her own ideas will take the center stage instead. As I usually say "I'll teach her everything I can, she will learn everything she wants".
Most of the general public would be better served with more emphasis on the history of science. Knowing how and when it happened makes it seem less like magic dogma given to them from the elders, against which rebellion is appealing.
Performance wise, most matte filaments are more brittle and have worse layer adhesion due to the matting pigment, but do a good job at hiding lines as the reduction in specular highlights reduce the visibility of them. Another good trick is fuzzy skin setting with both length and depth settings at 0.4x-0.8x layer height.
Parents love comparing to other school districts. It's probably no surprise that in suburbia, the same conformist social dynamics we all loathed from high school are alive and well among the parent community (and teacher, for that matter).

Nobody wants their kid to have an "abnormal" upbringing. Well, except the ones who do, but they're the homeschooling/Montessori crowd anyway.

Worked on the recent upgrade done in August.
I think you’re far better off with black pipe or rigid metal conduit than EMT (thinner conduit which is not even allowed to support a light or outlet per the electrical code).

Black pipe is still pretty cheap and way stronger than EMT.
I am not sure what your point is honestly. Batteries are a very viable option for storage, competing cost wise with pump storage which has been in use for decades.

> Same is valid for Germany which is in a worse position due to dunkelflauten

Even existing storage solutions in Germany are already sufficient for the present day electricity network and build-out is progressing rapidly. The time for a nuclear build out was 20 years ago. We missed that window, now other technologies will prevail.
That's true, but does not apply to this situation.

Some of the kids still do their best impression of Gollum, but for the most part, the teachers have suddenly found themselves able to actually, you know, teach again. Some for the first time in years.
> In particular, if you need to replace not just glibc, but also a bunch of system libraries (pretty common case for complex apps), it's often easier to unshare(CLONE_NEWNS), followed by bind-mounting over new /lib64 and /usr/lib to override specific directories. This is much lighter than full-on containers

This is basically what Flatpak does.
When have they ever been worth it?
Based on the wording alone I would believe the OP had thr experience they claim. They just misunderstood what was being asked.
The biggest productivity boost I've ever had is switching from excel 2003 to 2007. Before I had a limit of 65k rows, now I had just over a million! A whole new world in calculation had opened up.

I can't really recall anything that's come out since then that matches it.
If the law mandates attendance, then the law should regulate what that attendance entails. Much like how state or municipal exclusivity agreements on broadband should regulate how those broadband companies should behave toward their customers. With great power comes great responsibility.

As for private schools, yes, they should be left to their own policies. But I haven't seen anyone suggesting otherwise.
Yeah, can you show me ?
The optimal chunking strategy is often highly, highly dependent on the data used and questions to be answered.

The net is plastered with blog posts about optimal strategies, of which there seem to be more than 10 and new approaches popping up often.

It seems consensus that trial and error is the way to go to optimize cost and performance.

How do you plan to tackle this when providing it out of the box?
This is a bit a matter of semantics. Using the term nation may potentially confuse those who have no experience with Native American history, true. They had many nations. Regardless, though, as the natives faced increased threat of elimination there did become a central united Native American community gradually and then explicitly. Thinking of things like the American Indian Movement (of course started considerably later than the event the OP is referring to, though)
> Adding the second drive module is something that we should not expect to work

Hard disagree. This approach works for just about any normal storage medium. Apple decided to Think Different about where the SSD controller lives and works and how storage pinouts work, but their weird approach wasn't publicly documented anywhere until people like this guy started trying.

Uninitialised storage would've normally showed up just like that, as uninitialised storage, ready to be partitioned. Instead, the device didn't even turn on, let alone show the added flash storage in a partitioning tool.
Heat doesn't radiate like that in space. This topic comes up on HN often enough.

There isn't anything to carry the heat away because space is, by definition, empty. The energy has to be carried away by something. Cooling space stations is a legit real problem.

The only thing space gets you is somewhat better solar efficiency, but we aren't lacking of land to build solar panels on here on earth.

That is making exactly the point I was making:

That the price for 1U will tend to not be very competitive with renting dedicated servers (I can rent a server including hosting for that price) because the overheads to the provider of subdividing that 42U rack adds up. The point wasn't that the security can't be dealt with, but that dealing with it is one more thing that contributes to a higher cost per U if you rent 1U than if you rent quarter rack or more.

Ask HN: How to self-study optimization and linear programming?
I'm looking to self-study optimization and linear programming but not sure how to approach it efficiently. I have a decent math and CS background. What resources (books, courses, or other materials) would you recommend for a self-learner to get a good grasp of these topics? Any advice on building intuition and practice would also be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

> From what I can see out there on the internet, it's more than just the media - Orban's cronies seem to have captured the judiciary as well, which helps shield them from investigation. He also seems to be trying various tactics to suppress political opposition.

Yes, this is true unfortunately. On the other hand, most of our political opposition [1] was so lame that Orban's baseline tactic was pretty much to just let them do their thing, and that repeatedly led to these parties to self-destruct.

bubble memory is years after core, and dram is a great deal more complicated than you are imagining
it does, but i dont use it much due to it being too slow and heavy on memory on my ryzen 5950x (32 threads) on windows. a couple seconds of tracing goes into tens of gigabytes of ram.
If I recall correctly, we were always careful to allocate memory and assign it to the pointer when creating a new string. But the test for whether a string-typed property existed was just to dereference that pointer.

Interestingly, the maintainer had written this as an expansion to an existing codebase, which started on a NeXT and was already handling those NULL pointers properly, so it was a mismatch of coding style; a regression, I suppose.

Our next challenge was the database being read entirely into RAM, and as the players expanded the virtual world, the Resident Set Size went out of control and ate all resources on the workstation.

Then a fellow came along and wrote a "port concentrator" add-on, because at the time, process limits permitted only 64 open file descriptors, which capped the number of inbound TCP connections for active players. The port concentrator spawned 4 workers and muxed a total of 256 connections, for a pioneering MMORPG environment!

This was featured at my local regional library in the area for kids 5-10. Look through the “readers also enjoyed” and I’ve seen books either like that or those books exactly in kids sections.

My closest library is the same, possibly worse since the selection is smaller but they seem to have every gender bent book ever released.
I don't see why 25Gbps symmetric would be so surprising. My current ISP Ziply Fiber offers 100Mbps, 300Mbps, 1Gbps, 2Gbps, 5Gbps, 10Gbps, and 50Gbps (all of them symmetric) in most of their service areas. I’m sure there are other providers with similar offerings, in some parts of the country. My previous ISP, Sonic.net, offers speeds up to 10Gbps. The reported price is pretty nice though.
Incremental build times in rust are also on par (and often faster) with c++ on the similar sized projects I’ve worked on.
They've been cheap forever, it's a competitive business advantage they deliberately pursue. Search for "the Nintendo Wii" for an example. =)
That's an interesting addition to the language, since the numeric "labels" are effectively pointers that can be changed anywhere in the program! Though from reading the interpreter code, it seems like it doesn't handle "nested" procedures that can (re)define other procedures or themselves, which could make this a lot more powerful.

Never done enough BF programming to come up with a good example, but I'm thinking about something like this:

( (<-)<+ )

On the first call it increments it argument, then decrements on subsequent calls. There could also be a loop that switches a procedure between one of several definitions, which could be used to implement a state machine.
Yes, often what is taught is taught in a manner that seems mysterious in origin, as if it were revealed, certain and final, and developing a sensibility like that concerning scientific matters is not good. You could argue that the viability of science as such rests on certain articles of faith, but the particular findings of science themselves are a matter of demonstration, interpretation of demonstration and argument making use of interpreted demonstration, as well as the making of certain working assumptions that do quite a bit of quiet heavy lifting. The last, I think, receives too little attention, but it also supports the idea that practical and pragmatic rather than theoretical motives and habits drive much of scientific activity.
I think UFS might catch on if Samsung started cooperating with Samsung and Samsung to build a Samsung phone that would take Samsung UFS cards. Alas, I fear this can never happen, as Samsung wouldn't want Samsung's products to compete with their own storage tiers.

The problem with microSD vs UFS is that microSD is actually more than fast enough for most use cases if you buy good cards. Random I/O on SD cards is rarely a requirement even of phones with SD cards in them. Most of the time it's just bulk writing or reading video files and downloads.
Rebol has something named definitional scoping. Interesting document about that was called "bindology" (If I remember correctly).

We don't have a tutorial about this. In Rye this is still partially open to experimentation. If in Rebol dialects were the most interesting part. Rye also has multiple dialects, but I think in Rye contexts (scopes) are the most interesting aspect of the language.

In very short. Code is always evaluated inside a specific context. This also determines what certain words mean (from "core" words, like if, for, fn, ... up). Contexts can be linked together (you can define a parent context), created, manipulated, isolated at runtime. We have functions like do\in do\par(ent) and also fn\in and fn\par that evaluate code in context you provide. Lookup for a word happens in current context and then if not found in it's parent contexts if there are any. This is lookup ... "read" operation, but you can change (set or mod) only words in a current context. There is no syntax to change a value in parent or sub-context (there is no global context). You can call functions in (send messages to) contexts in your view and convention is if functions change values in-place their name must end with !.

That is current idea in very short, but this is all still open to be tested in practice and potentially changed.
It's approaching a very strange situation where people make overly wordy and bloated AI generated content and other people try to use AI to compress it back into useful pellets vaguely corresponding to the actual prompts used to generate the initial content.

What is either of yours dependent variable?
>Heat doesn't radiate like that in space.

What do you mean? I stated black body radiation numbers.

>There isn't anything to carry the heat away because space is, by definition, empty.

Heat radiation. Which is what Sun for example does in that empty space.

>Cooling space stations is a legit real problem.

Please, numbers. Otherwise it is just some hand-waving.

>The only thing space gets you is somewhat better solar efficiency, but we aren't lacking of land to build solar panels on here on earth.

Space gets you away from regulations, corrupt bureaucrats, and the threat of war/terrorism/etc. for example. At $100/Kg building in space looks to be just cheaper. And space allows to have solar and datacenter in the same unit, while on Earth you have to deliver your electricity from a solar farm somewhere to the datacenter. There is a reason Oracle started to talk nuclear in the datacenter. And between nuclear in the datacenter on Earth and solar+datacenter in space at $100/Kg i think the space scenario would be simpler and cheaper.

> That's the challenge being presented, why isn't the societal default to call a child "They" until they identify with a particular pronoun?

I don't know. I don't make the rules. I just follow. What I can tell is that challenging the rules come at a price. I don't want to impose that price on my daughter. If she wants to challenge societal rules (against my advice) when she is old enough to do so, she will have my support.

> Have you asked them if they like dresses over pants? Do they like trains over dolls?

Asking her things now is foolish. She is only months old.

If she prefers playing with cars and trains rather than dolls, I will buy her cars and trains.

To be frank, I think all those are lame. I will try to nudge her into liking puzzles, board games, painting, that sort of stuff. And later on videogames. I dream of the day she will be old enough to play Mario Kart with me and beat me.

> I'm not criticizing your parenting style or approach, but this should be about about them, not society or you or your wife

I agree, but that will be at an age when she can meaningfully build her own idea of self. Right now she cries when her nappies are dirty, and likes when I make her sleep walking arond the bedroom holding her against my chest. I don't think she can mount an intellectual defense about her own gender identity, or about religion, or any such complex subjects.

Well, it's not "automagical" and sure, of course, but tend to happen regularly, of course not exactly as foresee by the pioneers, not without struggles, victims, sufferance in the meantime, but still happen in the end.

Giants now push ML stuff exactly because they foresee a certain evolution, as they push RTO for equal reasons, as anyone else they try to protect their profits and augment them. But as they do so all others who know try to do the same for themselves and "the masses" here and there even in ignorance "feel" smell rodents, and could change mindset once a new way appear in front of them.

We have had proprietary connectors for mobile recharging, now through regulation we have had microUSB and now USB-C, similarly GNU/Linux desktop popularity climb without any laws mandating it, they are small various steps who will likely led to a certain evolution. Monopolies and oligopolies will fall, others will form, in the end in all human history these things have happened and we have kept evolving even if going through long dark ages here and there. The sad part is that we have just a single life so, depending on the point in history we born we suffer more or less and potentially for the entire life...
