I'm confused by your comment. This is an article about AI potentially helping with treatment of cancer.

I strongly disagree in any case that we shouldn't be investing in AI. I think that there's likely a rising tides lifts all boats effect that occurs with improving AI in general -- it all feeds into each other. People who work on image generators are building expertise in AI and can potentially discover things which advance the field, or inspire others to work in the field. Humanity getting better at making AI generate images, or compete at video games, or predict protein folding, it all probably contributes to the rate of improvement in AI.

And it's not unreasonable to think that AI will one day solve problems like cancer or climate change, so we should very much care about the rate of AI improvement. As for the power concerns, ironically, thanks to the increased demand we are seeing companies like Microsoft and Oracle make large investments in nuclear power now. It could be the case that this kicks starts a boom in the nuclear industry which eventually brings costs / eases regulations enough to put us in a better place in the long run.

It's extremely complex, I don't think we can say at this point that investing in AI in the midst of a climate crisis is a mistake.
You’ve never seen a shared hosting provider that makes config changes to limit the use of resource-heavy features? You… Must not have seen many hosting providers.
From a utilitarian perspective sure, you might be right but how do you exempt those companies from civil liability and make it impossible for victims/their families to sue the manufacturer? Might be legally tricky (driver/owner can explicitly/implicitly agree with the EULA or other agreements, imposing that on third parties wouldn’t be right).

I'm using euro cents as weights in my weighted vest.

When I started doing this I didn't want to afford dedicated weights as it seemed like a waste of money, but I had many cents saved up from my childhood, which I started to use instead.

I have roughly 15kg in euro cents in my vest and I'm regularly talking walks with it.

To get one kilo you need 435 cents and it turns out that in Germany you can also "buy" coins "for free" at the "Bundesbank", that is, you can exchange actual money for weights without any fees. You give 4 euros and 35 cents and you get a kilo. Once you need the money back, you can also sell those coins back to them for free.
There are 2 big leaps in laptop speed (SSD adoption and ARM CPU)as well as incremental battery improvements and then the ARM lower power/cycle = where we are now.
For most tasks the time used is minimal compared to human reaction time.
Only with computationally intense tasks, video edit, matrixes etc will humans see the difference in minutes/hours where task time can be charted.
I find adding an SSD to an older thinkpad makes it good enough for Word etc. I tolerate the shorter battery life, and mitigate this with new third party battery packs with good reputations at a good price. Very low cost ali-express packs are avoided due to fire risk.
So that 5 year old will serve quite well for you.
The path to fixing this requires first measuring and monitoring it, then establishing service level objectives that represent customer experience. Product and engineering teams have to agree on them. If the SLOs become violated, focus shifts towards system stability.

Getting everyone onboard is hard and that is why good leadership is needed. When customers start to churn because bugs pop up and new features are slow or non existent, then the case is very easy to make quality part of the process. Mature leaders get ahead of that as early as possible.
I was taught that in every situation you should act as though you are the sole person responsible for making the interaction safe.

If you're the one merging? It's on you. If you're the one being merged into? Also you.

If you assume that every other driver has a malfunctioning vehicle or is driving irresponsibly then your odds of a crash go way down because you assume that they're going to try to merge incorrectly.
head is a bit discombobulated today, but i’ll give this a shot

when i say ‘blob’ data, a good example to think of is a set of really long 1080p video files.

tl;dr version

* throw data into dvc when unstructured ‘blob’ data.

* throw it into iceberg when you’ve got structured data.

benefits of dvc over iceberg:

* not forcing ‘blob’ data into a tabular format and all the “fun” (read: annoying) processing steps that come with doing that

* don’t have to have to run some processing step to extract ‘blob’ data out of what is basically a parquet file, dvc pull (?) will just download each file as is.

* edit files locally then run three-ish (?) commands to commit changes, without needing to run a data ingestion pipeline to force ‘blob’ data into a table

* completely schema less, so don’t have to worry about ‘blob’ data being the wrong type, just shove it in the repo and commit it

* roll back throughout all of commit history, not just to the last vacuum/checkpoint

basically, tabular data formats and ‘blob’ data shoved into them is a recipe for pain.

shoving ‘blobs’ into a git like repo is much faster and easier.

especially if you need full version history, branches for different outcomes etc.

trying to have different branches in Iceberg for your set of really long 1080p video files where you have applied different ffmpeg filters in different branches and want people to be able to access all of them, and the history of them sounds nightmare-ish.

in dvc, that’s ^ easy.

basically, it’s like creating a data lake which won’t turn into a data swamp because everything is version controlled.

I’m in a 3 year mechatronics program, and we covered 555, LM741, and similar ICs in our 2nd semester PLC/digital/electronics class. No microcontrollers until year 2. I don’t feel I conceptualized it very well, but it gave me a good whetted appetite to dive further.
Chess is essentially a puzzle. There's a single explicit, quantifiable goal, and a solution either achieves the goal or it doesn't.

Solving puzzles is a specific cognitive task, not a general one.

Language is a continuum, not a puzzle. The problem with LLMs is that testing has been reduced to performance on language puzzles, mostly with hard edges - like bar exams, or letter counting - and they're a small subset of general language use.
Huh, I assumed: it does work whilst remaining unseen
The Starship Revolution in Space
But with a flatter society you could widen the pool of people allocating resources. Elon would have less money but the rest would have more.
The issue is whether the dominant people in a project are still reasonable after your 100th PR!

Being nice to new people is a standard tactic for any divide-and-conquer organization. The politicians get more followers and get free positive comments on the internet that drown out criticism. The politicians don't have to work (some of them literally never did in CPython) and can pose as leaders and managers.
The underlying problem is that the current FSD architecture doesn't seem to have good guard rails for these outlier situations you describe (sunlight blinding the camera from just the right angle probably?) and it is probably not possible to add such rules without limiting the system enormously.

Fundamentally driving consists of a set of fairly clear cut rules with a ridiculous amount of "it depends" cases.
From some of the unique positions of insight that I have been exposed to, I think it’s safe to say that at least in the late 90s through early 2000s, the primary political will to fuel the “war on the low price of drugs” was to prop up the ability of the USA to covertly divert funding to favoured political groups worldwide.

The Iran-contra shenanigans made it clear that political cover could not be relied upon for overtly shady air-America style operations, and a plausibly deniable strategy was needed for our covert influence operations.

By being in charge of the semi-global” war on drugs”, the USA could make sure covert allies were well funded by allowing them relatively unimpeded access to the wildly profitable US illicit drug market.

This was largely accomplished by targeting any competition and ignoring or sometimes even assisting favoured groups. We saw this on blatant and dramatic display with US troops protecting poppy crops in Afghanistan.

The war on the low price of drugs also made for great television, so most people were happy for a while.

Inevitable consequences being what they are, now that the cartels have become powerful enough to supplant the US influence on market conditions, this strategic justification is increasingly weak. Accordingly, international spending has plummeted.

But do not despair, gentlereader. Our adventurism has created shiny new villains for us to combat, so all is not lost. Great television is once again within our reach.

The MIC and Netflix will be well employed in the coming cartel wars and eventual occupation of regions of Mexico. We just have to wait patiently for the cartels to start using autonomous weapons with alarming frequency on us soil, a treat we can reasonably expect to see soon enough.
What's a weighted vest? Something for diving?
You mean communication should happen through language?
The change about Nemo's origin must have been done before finishing "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas", because already in that there were expressions of his discontent with the British Empire, above any others, I think towards the end of the novel, when he attacked some British war ship (an attack that was used to convince the more reluctant of the prisoners that they must escape from the submarine).

That novel has been published in episodes scattered over more than a year, so it would not be unusual if towards its end Verne had a different vision of the story line than when he had started writing it, one year before.
I prefer when developers and project managers create massive google docs for specs and descriptions. Double points if you share the document with only a handful of favorite employees. Also, ignore all requests to get permission to this document. Eye roll in all meetings if someone hasn't read this document. You can get to god mode if you hide comments around the doc.

This feels like the most dangerous possible combination (not for you, just to have on the road in large numbers).

Good enough that the average user will stop paying attention, but not actually good enough to be left alone.

And when the machine goes to do something lethally dumb, you have 5 seconds to notice and intervene.
Yes, but worse. Nobody physically forced anyone to get vaccinated so you still had some choice. Of course legally banning individuals from using public roads or sidewalks unless they give up their right to sue Tesla/etc. might be an option.
>The chance are high that a random German speaks english so you’ll probably be good

What does high mean in this context? I experienced what I would call the inverse Danish maneuver, the German obviously understand English because they often answered our English questions correctly - In German.

In Denmark if a Dane understands what you said in Danish but you have a definite accent they will often answer your question in English.

Maybe Germanic cultures are geared towards the rude.

That's just not how progress works.

Its iteritive, there are plenty of cul-de-sacs and failures. You can't really optimise until you have something that works and its a messy process that is inefficient.

You're looking at this with hindsight.

I think you just need to go further in your thought process here: if you recognize that your amazing IQ scores have only very local relevance, that they don't capture everything, why feel the need to have any investment in them at all? Would it be too much of a conspiracy to you if I told you that IQ is rather a lot of BS?

If the category you are working with is the kind of thing that you have to construct such nuance, and circles, and "yes but also..."s around, perhaps you might question your category outright?

Just to say, have you ever maybe thought that what we call "intelligence" is somewhat determined more by time and place than it is by our collective answers to multiple choice questions? Just maybe something to think about.
Small wonder why you received a sub-optimal response.
Isn't that what sw development today is? A description of a system and what we want it to do. With the advance of compilers, libraries, frameworks, linters, autocomplete systems and so on, we're already very close to describing the minimum amount of information the system needs in order to produce the correct result. To my knowledge actually physically writing the software has not been a bottleneck in a very, very long time.
Surprising that a bigger company wouldn’t have gulped this up and continued it. Server resources/costs likely a drop in the bucket to a bigger company, and this is an incredible service imo.
My main use of cat is for clipboard pasting (if I can't leverage pbpaste or something more appropriate). If I want to get something into a file or get into a pipe as stdin `cat > file` or `cat | cmd`, paste, then end with cmd-D to send an EOF and terminate the cat. For files it circumvents "helpful" formatting you would get pasting into an editor.
Yes indeed. I was thinking this might spur more Vaultwarden client dev?
Show HN: Belief.garden – a social network around personal beliefs

It's far from finalized but please take a look and give some feedback
Companies should not opt for and advertise with open source, if they don’t stand behind open source principles. Classic bait and switch. That’s what upsets users. They chose Bitwarden over e.g. LastPass, because they believed in FOSS. Companies exploit that and it’s sad.
The main problem is that documentation should be written on why code is written the way it is, and why it exists in the first place. This context is typically not available in the code itself. In the best case, this is encoded in requirements and design documentation, but more often than not, the information remains only in the heads of customers, architects, and developers.

The code itself merely describes how something is solved. Summarizing that in documentation can be useful at times, but it is not the full story. Especially for code that lives on for some time, the original design philosophy is often lost, and it is forced in horrible directions.
I’m not sure Boeing etc. could have insured any liability risk resulting from engineering/design flaws in their vehicles?

Google tells me a 1p coin weighs 0.1257 oz, so nearly exactly 1/8 oz.

I knew someone who got caught by the metropolitan police with a fairly ordinary amount of weed (which probably wouldn't have attracted anything more than a warning), but also with a set of weights. I think he got a suspended sentence in the end. Using coins and something innocuous which could be used as a balance would seem to make sense.
The future iterations of this are purely terrifying. This is so elegantly demonstrated by the Oscar Nominated short film “Please Hold” from 2022. Picked up by mistake by a roving police drone, a young man is incarcerated autonomously and has no way of release outside of money or time.

You blew the dust off this barely used account to post your position. Want to add a disclaimer?

Doesn't seem to happen in the medical and airplane industries, otherwise, Boeing would most likely not exist as a company anymore.
> That's a ridiculous argument.

Not making an argument. Asking a clarifying question about someone else’s.

> It'd be like Boeing taking a child's paper aeroplane design and making a passenger jet out of it and then blaming the child when it inevitably fails.

Yes exactly. You are using the same example I used to say the same thing. So which part of my message was ridiculous?
Good leadership is spot on! Agreed. The cynic part of me sees incentives that discourage mature leadership styles.

Leaders tend to be impatient and think of this quarter’s OKRs as opposed to the business’ long term financial health. In other word the leaders of leaders use standard MBA prescribed incentive structures.
Large files are good, but it may have performance issues with many (millions) small files.

Used in running to add extra resistance.

I've used them on and off in the past; useful in limited circumstances.
Ever since coin clipping got out of hand in the 1700s most coins feature milled edges or edge inscriptions. They make the edges more resistant to wear and make any wear easy to spot.

Of course there's a limit to the precision you can get from coins, but considering the scale of their production and the account of handling they see they are surprisingly good

More Americans should go drive on the Autobahn. Everyone thinks the magic is “omg no speed limits!” which is neat but the really amazing thing is that NO ONE sits in the left hand lane and EVERYONE will let you merge immediately upon signaling.

It’s like a children’s book explanation of the nice things you can have (no speed limits) if everyone could just stop being such obscenely selfish people (like sitting in the left lane or preventing merges because of some weird “I need my car to be in front of their car” fixation).

For the USA, an unworn 5 cent nickel weighs 5 grams. When I was testing one of those tiny portable scales that are battery operated, I would use 1, 2, and 3 nickels to determine if it was close to being accurate.

Code doesn't capture architectural decision making, one of the most important being why other solutions were not used. LLMs would need to be nearly omniscient (understanding underlying hardware, customer needs, budgets even) to derive the reasoning behind those decisions afterwards from code alone.

A little late to the thread, but this is obvious if you've done any reasonably serious mindfulness practice. When you are meditating, you can get to the point where the internal monolog (the yabbering of the "crazy monkey mind") is completely silenced. "You" are still present, and can direct your attention, and can observe all of the perceptions with full comprehension, without the verbal layer interpreting for you.

Tesla does not release the data required to substantiate such a claim. It simply doesn’t and you’re either lying or being lied to.
At least in the northeast/east coast US there are still lots of old parkways without modern onramps, where moving over to let people merge is super helpful. Frequently these have bad visibility and limited room to accelerate if any at all, so doing it your way is not really possible.

For example:

I use this onramp fairly frequently. It’s rural and rarely has much traffic, but when there is you can get stuck for a while trying to get on because it’s hard to see the coming cars, and there’s not much room to accelerate (unless people move over, which they often do).

Preemptively getting in the left lane before going under this bridge is a defensive safety maneuver I always make—being in the right lane nearly guarantees some amount of conflict with merging traffic.

Tesla FSD on German Autobahn = most dangerous thing ever. The car has never seen this rule and it's not ready for a 300km/h car behind you.
Striking/pressing with a shaped die is the traditional process, not least because the material itself used to be the store of value rather than the provenance of the mint— The coin shape was really there to certify how much gold/silver it contained and that the government had been paid whatever tax (seignorage) was owed on the ore.

Now that we’ve lived in a fiat-currency world for decades, it’s possible that new processes are being used as the concerns are different— anti-counterfeiting measures are more important than anti-shaving ones now, for instance.
