Is your entire argument that electric vehicles will typically not start when plugged in, while some gas cars are not advanced enough that they let you literally wrench the gas pump off if you drive away with it connected, an action that can cause serious if not catastrophic damage to your vehicle and the station equipment? Do you really think that the two seconds it takes to unplug a car is going to cause a spate of opportunistic crime? Like, to the point where people will not buy an EV because they are concerned they are going to be mugged? Because this seems like an insane position to me.
Even if you have insurance that can cover the cost of the low cost connection ticket you just missed.. try buying a new ticket at the airport for that same day or same week even and you’ve now spent more than getting a regular ticket in the first place. And that regular ticket airline is responsible for getting you to your final destination.

I did some extreme budget flying as a youth and you might just get stranded at a random airport so you better be very flexible with your plans. If it’s inside the US maybe you’re fine to rent a car or take a bus or something but if you happened to layover in UAE or something then it gets trickier

The Early Discipline of Remote Startups (2019)
The instruction you refer to is for evaluating polynomials, not solving them, so I’m a bit confused by your claims. It is pretty common to evaluate polynomials as part of solving them (if you’re aiming for numeric solutions), but solving tends to also require:

- some kind of root finding (note that methods like Newton–Raphson don’t work when zeros have multiplicity)

- dividing polynomials by (X - a) after finding one root to find the next root
I am working on question answering based on long documents / bundles of documents, 100+ pages, and I took a similar approach. I first summarize each page, give it a title and extract a list of subsections. Then I put all the summaries together and I ask the model to provide a hierarchical index. It will organize the whole bundle into a tree. At querying time I combine the path in the tree as additional context.
At a previous job, there was an argument over a code review where I had done some SQL queries that fixed a problem but were not optimal. The other side were very much "this won't work for 1000 devices! we will not approve it!" whereas my stance was "we have a maximum of 25 devices deployed by our only customer who is going to leave us next week unless we fix this problem today". One of the most disheartening weeks of my software development life.

(that was also the place I had to have a multi-day argument over the precise way to define constants in Perl because they varied in performance except it was a long running mod_perl server process and the constants were only defined at startup and it made absolutely zero difference once it had been running for an hour or more.)

That…is what the comment is saying, yes.
The fundamental problem of both keyword and embedding based retrieval is that they only access surface level features. If your document contains 5+5 and you search "where is the result 10" you won't find the answer. That is why all texts need to be "digested" with LLM before indexing, to draw out implicit information and make it explicit. It's also what Anthropic proposes we do to improve RAG.

1. I enjoy understanding every single line of code I write for my program. I don’t want anything to generate code on my behalf, and want to write “every line myself” and understand what I’m doing and what I’m putting in my program.

2. Trust. I don’t trust AI to generate code without mistakes.

3. I enjoy coding. Why would I want someone else write code on my behalf? What am I supposed to do then? Imagine you enjoy cooking. But then, say, your spouse comes to the kitchen, pushes you aside and does all the cooking instead. You can’t enjoy cooking anymore. If AI is going to write code instead of me I’ll just find a different job/hobby.
> it's simply impossible to place them in space

I bet once it's no longer practicable to host them on Earth, hosting them in space will become possible.

Sometimes, removing the easy option gets people solving problems they had no incentive to solve previously, and this can lead better outcomes.

Some things don't need ownership to be treated with respect. Animals in the jungle are not owned exclusively by anyone but we still want to collectively protect them.

One can try to be a good neighbour and mindful of others sharing that space (in this case, radio frequencies coming from out of Earth), or one can be an asshole and say "no one owns this, I can do whatever I want".

You can't know what will be missed, it's not about "will destroy the world", it's getting noisier, we will miss signals in those frequency ranges, and for what? So you and some others can travel around connecting to the Internet and posting on Hacker News? I don't think that improves our understanding of the cosmos, while the work of the people being impacted by the radio noise actually does improve our understanding of the fucking Universe.

I actually like having room for optimization, especially when running my own infra servers included.

As an example, I can think of half a dozen things I can currently optimize just in the DB layer, but my time is being spent (sensibly!) in other areas that are customer facing and directly impacting them.

So fix what needs to be fixed, but if there was a major load spike due to onboarding of new clients/users, I could in a matter of hours have the DB handling 100x the traffic. That's a nice ace in the back of my pocket.

And yes, if I had endless time I'd have resolved all issues.

Corentin: Web Shading Language — A high-level shading language made by Apple for WebGPU.

<room in general grimaces>

[...]

Jesse B (Unity): We care about HLSL

Eric B (Adobe): Creating a new high level language is a cardinal sin. Don’t. Do. That. Don’t want to rewrite all my shaders AGAIN.

Jesse B: If we can transcode to HLSL to whatever you need, great. If we can’t, we may not support your platform at all.

Eric B: Would really not like even to write another transcoder. If there’s an existing tool to get to an intermediate representation, that’s good. Would suggest SPIRV is an EXCELLENT existing intermediate representation.

Note the WSL language made by Apple which sparked that discussion is unrelated to the WGSL language they ended up shipping, but the sentiment that the ISV representatives just wanted them to use HLSL or SPIR-V stands.
Ask HN: Where are AIs for editing (e.g. designs?) vs. creating?
I get why many AI tools like the magical sheen of a big "What UI do you want to design? Generate" interface entrance.

But I don't come to an AI UI generator with a new design. I'm guessing most people don't.

Most of us have trouble with design, have a design we know is bad, but we've already started building it.

We want to improve the design.

Why aren't there AI tools which model editing?

I would compliment the makes of Claudes chat as an alternative - their "Improve" and "Explain" options when you select text are useful for precisely this reason.
Would you feel it fair, when you require an estimate, to have to say what decision you'll make with it?

Usually, when someone insists on getting estimates, that's my way to make sure that they really need it. besides, it also helps making an estimate that won't be useless in the context of the decision to be made.

The lesson I learned from asking that is 1) many people ask for estimates without a clue about what they'll do with the info, and 2) when a decision actually needs to be made, the actual question is never "will it take 1 or 10 days", but rather "will that project be done by regulatory limit", or "will it cost 50k or 5 millions". And for the 2nd point, sizing every small task and adding up usually compounds uncertainty in unpredictable ways.

Marvel is pretty soft scifi even when it doesn't have actual magic, so it's probably fine.

Hmm… just realised, the basic setup of Space 1999 is kinda what happened with Stargate Universe; I'd say the latter's problem was aping BSG with grit and drama, as there was plenty of room for silly fun scifi in all three Stargate series.

You're not being consistent. People don't typically self-educate themselves for advanced math, but they don't do that for liberal arts either. J. K. Rowling doesn't have a degree in literature, but she doesn't do "advanced" literature: she writes books people like. She's good at what she does, but the "skill" needed is, like, grade school level. That's not comparative literature.

To put it another way: a lot of people actually do recreational math, which is largely self-taught. Maybe less than those who fancy themselves authors but it's still a lot of people. The aren't many people who study to make rockets, but there also aren't many people who end up as journalists or literary critics or copywriters but those people do actually get a degree in liberal arts to do that. Writing best-selling books is akin to being Martin Gardner.

Whyyyy Facebook?? [facepalm]

If they really want visibility, use an open platform!
I very much agree with the idea that browsers are security-sensitive software, unlike, say, a picture editor, and more like an ssh server. It should be assumed to be constantly under attack.

And browser development is exactly not the area where I would like to see the "move fast, break things" attitude. While firebase may be sloppy with security and thus unfit for certain purposes, I would expect competent developers of a browser to do due diligence before considering to use it, or whatever else, for anything even remotely related to security. Or, if they want to experiment, I'd rather that be opt-in, and come with a big banner: "This is experimental software. DO NOT attempt to access your bank account, or your real email account, or your social media accounts".

With that, I don't see much exploit potential in learning stats like the number of cores on your machine. Maybe slightly more chances of fingerprinting, but nothing comparable to the leak through improper usage of firebase.
>IPv6 has been around long enough that it's clearly a failed project

You have a very radical definition of "failed". Take your emotions out, and perhaps you would get a more objective evaluation of the technology.

For one, it's very clear that IPv6 has only, truly received global attention after the depletion of IPv4 address space -- someone has already linked the Google IPv6 adoption page, go have a look at it, look at the flat line before 2012. That means we have spent about of 10~15 years of time deploying IPv6, not 30 years, and getting to 50% adoption in such a time period is not what I'd describe as a failure.

Secondly, if you are defining failure as "less than 50% prevalence in 30 years" then HTTPS before 2014 will probably fall under the same category too. (Don't underestimate the age of SSL/TLS.)

Do you consider HTTPS a failure?
Because you were introducing exploits in your "SSO flow" in 2005. You can't have your cake and eat it too. If you want organizations (that spend billions on, and make this software free of cost) to care about security, there will usually be a slight inconvenience penalty you have to pay to comply with better patterns.

AI could be more aligned to you than random internet users, give you less bullshit if involuntary hallucinations are excepted. It is more patient and generally puts more effort than most human interactions, and often better informed from its huge training set.

These models are now "the worst they are ever going to get", I expect the quality of dialogue to improve. Claude Sonnet for example was a big leap, and the latest 4o and o1 are showing good signs of progress.

You don't need to bomb anyone.

Add IP rules at cables inside and out of let's say EU and block it there.

Your server/domain doesn't satisfy requirments. Either the originator complies or not (e.g. through trusted third party).

Certainly.

I was at a recent sat-comms conference where this was strongly argued for: The number of LEO birds (and associated spectrum usage) has dramatically increased over the last 5 years and shows no sign of stopping.

Sky and spectrum are international resources, and international regulation is undoubtedly required at a UN level via the ITU (who regulate international spectrum usage), yet the UN remains slow to act.

> It encapsulates the kernel, which encapsulates pretty much everything for the notebook, right?

Not even close to everything. In real world the environment of a notebook consists of a bunch of things provided by whoever set up the lab, i.e. storage and tools.

Typical examples include setting up Lustre or Ceph in a way that it will be accessible from a notebook (but that would also involve authentication, potentially).

And, in terms of tools: a workload manager that's perhaps integrated with Jupyter to schedule notebook execution on available nodes, but also to simply run workloads. Also, just a bunch of stuff written by this or another research group. Just this week I had to install and configure some tool for arterial spin labeling, but that would be the case with any kind of research: there's plenty of stuff that researchers will rely on on, that is central to their research, but isn't directly related to Jupyter.

By and large, Jupyter is just a front-end to any particular system where research happens, it's not the system itself.
