I did! I own a comma! I’ve put in hundreds of hours into using teslas FSD. I know more about it than most in this thread and I repeat, folks who claim it’s as good as they say it is are liars. Yes, even with the 12.6 firmware. Yes, even with the 13.0 firmware that’s about to come out.
And then all of a sudden you run into more engineering costs. Companies use platform services because one dev/engineer can do a lot more on their own and focus on delivering business value rather than twiddle knobs.

And adding one dev/engineer is _massively_ more expensive, so you seldom want to scale in that axis when the option is to, say, use a managed database or even a complete data pipeline.

I think the poster child of going full OOP (that one can look at) is ACE/TAO [1], an implementation of CORBA. It had deep inheritance trees and abstractions piled on abstractions.

Similar to Mach and microkernels, folks ran ACE/TAO and thought CORBA was slow, when it was just the implementation that was not built for speed.

A quick skim suggests that this framework re-inititalizes the sandbox on each request (so there's no shared context across requests). That's not going to achieve better performance.
Literally just hand write everything.
They're working on getting the issue of transport sorted out first because the entire architecture is shaped by the constraints and requirements of your transport system. The amount of mass you can land, the energy needed for ISRU and so on.

HN just has forgotten its hacker roots and instead gets off to unconstructively sitting back and criticizing with shallow gotchas.
The whole article I was wondering why the lines that were naturally aligned to the pixel grid were privileged.

Why wouldn't you fade all lines according to their depth towards the horizon?
No, you cannot shift orbit with a single burn maneuver so whatever explosion unless it exploded the other way later cannot shift orbit if the pieces accelerated relative to earth they’re going into a higher orbit if they decelerated they go into a lower orbit

Of course I did. I DM'ed him on Twitter with no response. Then I commented under one of his tweets and he did respond. He mentioned it would be complete by Aug 2023 (this was before Aug 2023). Some time this year I commented under one of his linkedin posts asking for update - no response. There are multiple comments from other users on that web page I linked above - most of them had no replies.

Of course he's been busy. Everyone is busy. But charging $200 (or $100 with coupon) for a course which is delayed for more than 1.5 years and still has no sign of completion is another story.
> If you gave a company over to only engineers, it would also fail, just in a different way

Do you have an idea of what would be the failure mode(s)?
Rumor is that there just isn't enough power to turn on all those fancy AI accelerators or Datacenters.

There's a reason Microsoft just outright purchased the entire output of 3-mile island (a full sized nuclear power plant).

At some point, people will stop buying GPUs because we've simply run out of power.

My only hope is that we don't suffer some kind of ill effect (ex: double the cost of consumer electricity or something, or local municipalities going bankrupt due to rising energy costs). The AI boom has so much money in it we need to account for tail wags dog effects.
If you have a GNU/Linux/Mac/BSD machine with Python:

Stripe acquires stablecoin processor Bridge
The article discusses the absolute error coming from RTK systems and claims that it won't be as low as 0.5cm, but surely the relevant metric is relative error, and I can see commercial systems advertising that level of precision.

i.e. the booster doesn't know it's actual position to within 0.5cm but it knows it's position relative to a buoy or the catch arms to that precision.

Wonder why it took so long to find a new one. I get the time complexity is a bit more than O(p^2) by a Wikipedia search, but still, 6 years is a lot.
The only deterministic thing about reference counting is call sites.

There is nothing deterministic about how long those calls take,
or stack size requirements, especially if they trigger cascade deletions, or are moved into a background thread to avoid such scenarios.

Reference counting optimizations slowly turn into a tracing GC.

I never found an easy solution for that one.

This is strange to me because I don't see FP faltering here at all. I suppose it depends on precisely what you mean by "OOP" and "FP". Below is an example implementation in my Haskell effect system Bluefin. It defines a Logger interface (that can log a message with severity) and then instantiates it with two implementations

https://hackage.haskell.org/package/bluefin

1. a logger that logs to stdout

2. a logger that logs to a file

The file logger also brackets the opening of the file so that if abnormal termination is encountered then the file handle is guaranteed to be cleaned up. This is similar to RAII.

I really like this solution! It's just programming against an interface, and then instantiating the interface in different ways. I think an solution using inheritance would be worse, because it would use a special language concept (inheritance) rather than a standard one (function definition).

Perhaps this is "OOP" and not "FP"? That's fine by me! But in that case I conclude Haskell is an excellent OOP language. (I already conclude that it's an excellent imperative language.)

{-# LANGUAGE GHC2021 #-}

import Bluefin.Compound
import Bluefin.Eff
import Bluefin.IO
import System.IO
import Prelude hiding (log)

newtype Logger e =
-- Log a message with a severity
MkLogger {log :: String -> Int -> Eff e ()}

withStdoutLogger ::
(e1 :> es) =>
IOE e1 ->
(forall e. Logger e -> Eff (e :& es) r) ->
Eff es r
withStdoutLogger io k =
useImplIn
k
MkLogger
{ log =
\msg sev ->
effIO io (putStrLn (show sev ++ ": " ++ msg))
}

withFileLogger ::
(e1 :> es) =>
FilePath ->
IOE e1 ->
(forall e. Logger e -> Eff (e :& es) r) ->
Eff es r
withFileLogger fp io k =

(effIO io (openFile fp ReadMode))

In this analogy, the AI hardware is not the public good – the AI models are.
> But not in cheating or grades

I had both, over a decade ago in high school. Plagiarism detection is the original AI detection, although they usually told you specifically what you were accused of stealing from. A computer-based English course I took over the summer used automated grading to decide if what you wrote was good enough (IIRC they did have a human look over it at some point).
That doesn't seem very close in terms of the area traced out by each object in relation to the area of the sphere? (And less if you consider volume since they won't be at exactly the same altitude.)

Does it support http://fanfiction.net/ ? I never found an easy solution for that one.
The spirit of what you're saying is correct, and you just need to find better examples.

More than half of anyone working on a tech company is not an engineer. So don't say "engineers get better treatment than other workers", just any employee in tech.

And afaik the data on companies that have unlimited PTO is that their employees actually take LESS time off. So it looks good on paper, but in effect does the opposite.

Still, you're right, tech workers have it easy compared to most other jobs, including a lot of other office workers (mostly due to better pay and benefits)
It's Terrible logic because it doesn't take into account the way this industry works. We don't do things because they are better. We do things because we can convince investors, because it's hirable, because we don't want to learn something new, because we're afraid our built up knowledge base is going to become obsolete, so we pull more people into our technical debt, etc.
This is fascinating and I think is one of the major areas that new AI systems will impact humanity, ie by combing through millions of papers to make connections and discover such sleeping beauties.

BTW, I noticed a similar phenomenon on HN submissions (on much shorter timescales): sometimes they just for a few hours with 2-3 points and then shoot up.
I would have thought the vibration from the engines would produce error of greater that 1/2 cm. Still, it seamed to have worked well. So, there you go.
Without having details of the explosion, I imagine some parts will slow down and some will speed up. They'll all be clustered together around the original orbit, and will take many years to drift any considerable distance unless it was a very high velocity explosion.
> The main courses are mandatory in order to obtain the degree.

Very strongly depends on the school and major; there are both narrow-path degrees with lots of mandatory courses and wide-path degrees with very few specifically mandatory courses (instead having several n of m requirements) other than lower-division general education requirements.
I wonder where Luke Durant got the money from to fund the effort. He's a former NVIDIA employee, I wouldn't be surprised if this was funded by NVIDIA.
> Can this be adapted to work with classic line segments made from quads or is it just for drawing grids in screen space?

It can be applied like a texture in the fragment shader using UV coordinates and their partial derivatives.

You can't really use this technique with line segments because the grid density up close to the camera is higher than far away. You'd need to do a lot of math to figure out where to draw your line segments. If you calculate all the line segment geometry, a fancy shader isn't required any more.
Hear hear. I get this all the time. People just don’t get that what they are paying for, say, platform services (managed databases, indexing, all sorts of data handling) is vastly cheaper than reimplementing those particular wheels - or hiring the people to manage them - and that the hyperscalers provide redundancy, automated deployment, backups, the works.

Even storage in hyperscalers is inherently redundant—and I keep getting folk who ask about setting up their own RAID array, or using their own containers and job management when there’s a dozen zero-code alternatives in each individual hyperscaler.
I installed it a year or two ago but was disappointed by its identification abilities. Then it changed to require providing an email address so I deleted it.
All of your `created_at` epoch times are going to be of similar magnitude, since they’re all about the same relative distance from the start of the epoch (usually 1970-01-01T00:00:00). So if you use them as weights directly, you’re in effect taking a uniform sample – every row has about the same chance of being chosen.

Based on what I glean about your scenario, I suspect you’d be better served by some kind of exponentially decaying weight based on age (i.e., age = current_timestamp ‒ created_at). For example, if you wanted to make your rows half as likely to be selected every time they grew another hour older, you could use `POW(2.0, -age / 3600)` as your weight, where age is given in seconds.

duckdb> WITH Ages AS (
SELECT age FROM UNNEST([0, 3600, 7200]) AS t(age)
)
SELECT age, POW(2.0, -age / 3600) AS w FROM Ages;

Just thinking: What if a student puts in every term paper some legend similar to: "All rights reserved. Not to be used to train AI or used in so-called plagiarism detection sites or platforms"..?

I know that wouldn't fly but it would be interesting to see something like that.
Could you please give an example of what you wanted it to help you with, what you expected and what you got?
Yup. Blind has people seething about known FAANG interview cheaters getting promoted before them. Everyone who works in big tech knows the cheating grift for getting in.
Armchair aerospaceing here, but it feels like he's a whole class of positioning sensors in this analysis. It seems to be you only need GPS and related absolute positioning systems to get you close to the tower. At that point, what you care about is the relative positioning of the tower and the booster. I would think this can be done very accurately with a host of options: cameras, radar, lasers, ILS style systems, etc, etc.
He's one of the most obvious ragebait puppets I've ever seen. Physiognomy doesn't lie.
Agreed, I didn't know people put their GPA on resumes.
The question of consequences is real. I graduated in 2008 at the beginning of the great recession, and I watched some of my classmates go off and do startups. I asked them 'Dude, what if you fail?!' and one of them just shrugged his shoulders and said he'd move back home with his parents, and get a job at his dad's company. No big deal.

That's when I realized it was much easier to take those risks when you knew you had a safety net to fall back on and you didn't have to worry about winding up homeless sleeping under an overpass.
This is entirely unsurprising to me. As taught to me, written English (in the US) has a much stricter structure and vocabulary. African-American English was used as the primary example of incorrect and unprofessional writing.
You might need to do that even before it ships the complete feature set.
I think people are using the word "fail" a little too much. Not getting your marathon time may hurt your ego a little but ultimately it's not a big deal. I would use the word "fail" for things that have real consequences.
Not all (or a big majority) of parents will be like this.

Until they are, screentime and internet access should be regulated for young people.

Parents think their kids are safe at home but the whole world is coming into it.
Is this no true scottish languaging on what constitutes fp? More to the point with the original article, erlang is assuredly not OOP in the modern sense (no matter how much joe Armstrong tried to rope java shops in by saying that actors are actually the true objects)

Also:

> Erlang itself is pure

Very not true. erlang is extremely impure fp and that's a big part of what makes it what it is.
I don’t think so. I don’t think malaria is contagious.
I think failure at a marathon can involve death.
Then normal Lua by itself would probably be fastest for you. Nothing makes me happier than writing native extensions for Lua. Its C API is such a pleasure to work with. With Python and JavaScript, writing native extensions is the worst most dismal toil imaginable, but with Lua it's like eating dessert. So if you know both Lua and C++ really well, then you're going to be a meat eating super programmer who builds things that go really fast.
I would guess it is a problem with OP's account. Which is to say it is thoroughly a Microsoft problem, and probably one that could be fixed but would require weeks of back-and-forth until someone with direct access to some number of auth databases corrected the issue.

I will say, they made a change to the auth system recently that made log-in significantly worse. Now several times a day my session expires or something and I go through a 5-10 second redirect flow which visibly jumps between different login APIs to refresh my log in state. (And of course this happens at the start of the day.)
So does that mean the other satellites "behind" it are in more danger?
Plagiarism detectors usually tell you what you're accused of ripping off. I remember always seeing it come back telling me how I must have copied my references from other essays on the same subject.
It has everything to do with it. The OP of the comment that you are replying to has correctly identified why LLMs are lacking - bc they have not actually learned, they have actual experience, they have no actual frame of reference to reality and how reality actually functions - what we expect of them is not possible considering how reality works.

I'm not saying we cannot create a self conscious entity - I'm saying that none of the stuff we've made so far can become self aware or conscious as we are bc we haven't made it correctly. Nobody worried about AGI has anything to worry about rn - at best the models we have now may someday be able to trick us into perceiving them as aware but fundamentally they cannot attain that state out of what they are now, so it will be bullshit if one "wakes up" soon.
I'd actually really like to believe that what you've written is true. If hundreds and thousands of tech workers were empowered toliterally quit the workforce if their higher needs weren't met, I'd be DELIGHTED.

But the reality is that the jobs with "real perks" are really hard to get and few and far between. They require powerful networks, timing, and luck. Most of the folks I know who were impacted by the recent layoffs just want a place where they can make a good living and feel appreciated.
I presume they used insecticides. Anyone know what they used?
You won't know for another 10-20 years for what you are de-sensitized to.

Also, your experience won't be anyone else's. Assuming so can create challenges.
It’s not a cottage industry. It is literally the law if you need to operate in some regions.
All of these are fixed in the latest version (possibly just the beta that is about to be released to the store).

That includes OPML export (which remained available online but has returned to the app), arranging items (always possible throughout, but there were some new sync bugs that had to be worked out, IIRC), Go To Podcast (click the three buttons, last option in menu) from an episode, etc.

With falling cost of launch, there seems an opportunity to have a program to clean up orbital debris, funded by insurance premiums for orbits that don't self clean (like GEO).

At least of the bigger debris.
There's no consensus on the definition of what language is.

Chomskian linguistics does posit that human language is based on (innate) recursive grammars (narrow language faculty hypothesis), but this has always been a contentious question. And per that definition humans too have demonstrated only very limited ability in e.g. infinite embedding.
Seems like it might've been a good idea to clarify that you are the author of said browser extension, both both disclosure and bragging reasons.

You can drag and drop to change the order. Or are you talking about something else?

One thing I want to add is, it's _not_ my job to reach out to him asking for an update. It's his job. If he could maintain a monthly (or even quarterly) email list with all the updates it would be a way better communication strategy.
That’s 8 days of TA time. You’re going to get high variance and most likely having to boil it down to the equivalent of a multiple choice oral exam.

Hiring a n TA to delegate grading that’s hard to verify seems like will cost more than you think.

Well, the equation says that, unlike in newtonian physics, there's a gamma times the mass in the force equation. You can think of that as "the mass changing from the rest mass", or you can think of the mass as being constant and the gamma just being an additional factor, but either way, the gamma is still there.

Before I looked at stack exchange, I thought of another, much simpler experiment. Generate plane wave radio waves of a frequency such that the nominal wavelength would be meters or tens of meters. (By "nominal wavelength", I mean the wavelength l=c/f, the wavelength as if the speed of light were the same both directions.) Run those plane waves into a reflector a couple of nominal wavelengths away. Measure the RF energy at various points along the path to the reflector. Does it look like a standing wave of the expected wavelength, or not?

I actually saw that idea on the discussion I found on stack exchange. The only reply I saw was "well, the relationship between wavelength and frequency might not hold if the speed of light is asymmetrical", which seemed very weak to me. What, we have waves propagating with velocity v, but wavelength l =/= v/f? How can you do that without destroying the continuity of the wave? How much of physics is that going to destroy? And, how many "well, maybe..." items are you willing to stack up to make it impossible to detect your first "well, maybe"?

I didn't leave a question on stack exchange. The discussion was nine years old.
> Would you move on if I replace "not processed" with "minimally processed" and "processed" with "ultra processed"?

I think it would still be better to not mention "processing", because it's not about the "processing", it's about what is there in the end foods that can cause issues. So I would say that excessive consumption of foods loaded with unhealthy fats, sugars and artificial preservatives, flavor enhancers are bad for you". It's bad to eat too many fats, sugars, calories in general and not enough fruits, vegetables which contain ingredients that your body needs to properly function. If you want to use a circular word you can also just use "unhealthy foods", not "processed foods".

> In fact, it's pretty evil (idc if you're Harvard, UCLA, or a commenter on HN) to argue over whether or not you can distinguish between a cooked carrot or an Oreo.

I'm not arguing about that. I'm arguing about what is healthy and what is not. Processing food inherently doesn't make it unhealthy.
> Around 50% of higher education in the United States is done at community colleges.

Sure, but they don't set the rules; sure, they do much of the education, but much of the demand for them comess from bachelor’s-degree bound students, so the course selection is set by what bachelor’s degree granting institutions accept.
