Those are either going to (metal) scratch my non-stick pans, which I’m also told (on scant evidence I believe) causes cancer, or they’re (wood) going to be inflexible and hard to wash (can’t dishwasher them), which is inconvenient.
And it's in the same state I said when I commented on it for the same reason as I commented. A scrolling List View is really easy to implement. A proper infinitely nested folder UI is harder and none of the 'off-the-shelf' things worked at the time.

(There's a bunch of comments that are just wrong, the code does 'understand' the separators, it just doesn't do much with that knowledge).

The UI last time I used it used a mixture of web-views and standard components.

We were at the time handling the Material UI transition to make it look like a modern app.

Until that was done there was very little incentive to invest a lot of time in a UI that would be scrapped when that happened.

Other big projects (like the Android timers change which broke reliable email fetch or battery life) were also prioritised ahead of it (for reasonable reasons).

Honestly with only cketti and another person working on it part-time, the project struggled to do more than (or even) keep pace with the Android ecosystem. Maybe now it can. But the release cadence and approach was painfully slow.

I stopped my involvement with the project when I switched from Android to Apple - my motivation was always improving my own email experience.
Good luck 'pouncing at China' then. We'll stay aside and grab some popcorn. Or maybe we'll give a helping hand. To China.
If so, those people are foolish. Aesthetics and moral fashions (of this kind) come and go, but your body's health is for life.

BTW: The majority of people where? Where do you see this? The internet (which parts)? A middle class neighborhood in a small Midwestern town? An upper class neighborhood in a cosmopolitan European city? Culture varies tremendously so "where" matters if you make assertions like "the majority of people" think this or that.

Regardless of what you think people think, I'm telling you what they _should_ think which is more timeless and objective, since it's about medical facts that were true 2000 years ago as they are now.
Apparently they moved to their own MIPS-derived ISA... but is it binary compatible? Anyone know?

Would it be? Do they care?

Sam Altman's been talking about how GenAI could break capitalism (maybe not the exact quote, but something similar), and these companies have been pushing out GenAI products that could obviously and easily be used to fake photographic or video evidence of things that have occurred in the real world. Elon's obsessed with making an AI that's trained to be a 20-year-old male edgelord from the sewer pits of the internet.

Compared to those things, "we've replaced X% of our workforce with AI" is absolutely anodyne.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_black

> Carbon black (with subtypes acetylene black, channel black, furnace black, lamp black and thermal black) is a material produced by the incomplete combustion of coal tar, vegetable matter, or petroleum products, including fuel oil, fluid catalytic cracking tar, and ethylene cracking in a limited supply of air.

"Carbon black" refers to both types, but "carbon black oil" is referencing the petroleum derived one which is not allowed to be used in foods as far as I know.
Weird, I opened a binary I built years ago on Windows in Mono, and it was Winforms and rendered correctly, I think you mean WPF and the later GUI techs. Winforms renders nicely on Mono for a little while now I think?

There's a lot of options, but also the latest of .NET (not Framework) just runs natively on Linux, Mac and Windows, and there's a few open source UI libraries as mentioned by others like Avalonia that allow your UI to run on any OS.
That by itself raises an interesting editorial question. Apple (like most big companies) doesn't do things randomly re: high impact public communications like this. I'm curious what made the Mac mini a product that merited showing people doing things, with a computer that is tied to one location, vs. a Macbook Pro's comparative emptiness, for a computer that can go anywhere and be with anyone. It could be as simple as fun vs focus.
You can never trust the outputs of humans to be correct but we find ways of verifying and correcting mistakes. The same extra layer is needed for LLMs.

But knowing to effectively programming F# requires you to understand OOP and the functional abstractions. Most libraries in .Net still target C#, so understanding C# syntax and mentally translating it to F# is often required. If your application doesn't require many outside dependencies that might be different, but for most projects F# will require a lot more learning.

That's just elitist though isn't it? These games are enjoyed by players from all over the world, including massive numbers of players in countries with far less average disposable income. Its common in many countries to go to an internet cafe to play these games as they don't own their own hardware even.

It would also massively reduce the number of players. Competitive multiplayer games rely on large active playerbases for fast and fair matchmaking. That's why free to play has become the dominant model for these games. If you have to pay $1000 to play one of these games, they have no chance vs. the competition.

Obviously you can't completely solve this problem, but you can minimize it as much as possible.

Also these sorts of "trusted clubs" do exist for certain games (e.g. FaceIt for CounterStrike) but ultimately it still just relies on anti-cheat to establish that trust.
See also Csiksgentmihalyi’s Flow Theory [1].

Vygotsky‘s ZPD is a useful 1-dimensional tool (literally a number line) for learning I find (to oversimplify) Csiksgentmihalyi‘z to be a better 2-D tool for conceptualizing performance in a task.

While both are pretty foundational concepts in motivational psychology it follows one can expand to create one’s own n-dimensional personal heuristics incorporating emotional and social factors.

Not all types of games require this kind of anticheat. But this competitive type like CS/Valorant/MOBA games that use skill based matchmaking and rankings does require something that approaches fair play to even work as a produc. So the user must make some sacrifices to get there due how open and easy it is to manipulate things on x86/Windows for the PCs administrator.

Would it be reasonable to only sell this kind of game on console like hardware? Sure, but people have and use PCs and will have to make this choice themselves. And its not like user space software is not bad for privacy as any process your user runs can read all your files and even memory of other processes.
There are several ways I can think of to falsify "speciation-by-random-mutation":

- Show the average mutation rate the theory claimed is not as high as was needed to drive the amount of speciation we see (this particular experiment could have added data against that instead of in support of it).

- Show that the rate of needed mutation rate to see the observed speciation amount would drive too much detriment for "workable" mutations to propagate. I.e. "if you need x mutations per generation to get y useful ones and we've seen at least z of y then the amount of bad x mutations would have overwhelmed the population".

- Run these types of long run experiments several times with animals with extremely low lifespans (i.e. days like fruit flies) and show the population's DNA is extremely stable over many years with no mutations occuring, casting doubt into the assumption mutations are occuring often enough to drive changes needed for speciation to occur so often. You'd also have to convincingly explain why the error has been in most all of the previous experiments rather than yours e.g. some listed here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laboratory_experiments_of_spec...

- Find significant quantities of speciation which don't appear to be well explained by speciation-by-random-mutation and propose a different testable and falsifiable theory which explains not only those better but the others just as well as speciation-by-random-mutation did.

- And of course, the Bingo "free space": reproducibly demonstrate alternative means of speciation directly.

Really you can bundle "experiments attempting to support the speciation-by-random-mutation concept" (of which we've attempted many) into the same bucket as "experiments attempting to falsify the speciation-by-random-mutation concept". The only difference between which bucket they end up in is whether the outcome of the experiment agreed with the current theory or not.
That would be the way someone with no real awareness of the philosophies and realities of the two parties in the US would see it. And to be fair, that's a good description of a large chunk of the American electorate.

You only have to meet a few people to know that you will find different preferences period. And I know plenty of men that prefer the same strategies as plenty of women that I know. Such that, no, I don't see any real differences in thought work between the two. Same reason I don't think they do math differently. Reading is probably more similar in technique than not. Even if choice of reading topics is wildly different.

I don't think it is impossible that there are differences. I just don't have it as my prior.
For me the difficulty is very often that my gut says I can share almost anything with anybody. Especially when in case of one on one conversations. So my conscious brain needs to put regularly a break on it. If I give in too much, I usually get a silent reaction and sometimes even people avoiding my conversation.

Indeed the 'conversation is like a dance' feels like a more correct expression of reality.

The thing is, no particle is defined when it interacts. At our present level of understanding the only defined particles are the individual green's functions that appear in perturbation expansions, the lines in Feynman diagrams.

We see interacting particles in detectors, but since nobody can write down what field configuration they mean by "a photon," I can defend my phrasing - but you can defend yours too because I know what a bird is even if I don't know how they work.
Yeah but without a hardline how would you decide what to publish?
Not to mention, you even calculate a probability point map. Like I’m not going to hit the center perfectly but I can calculate the circle with a 90% probability of making the shot, given a distance and an object. And you know how much closer you need to walk to minimize the circle.

Which comes in very critically when chucking away trash overhand in public and you never want to embarrass yourself.

Besides that bugs flying seems an amazing task to me in terms of processing, specially if you compare the amount of power used to something like cars autopilot, bugs flying is part of bug survival, which in my opinion is closer to general intelligence than memorizing tokens.
Honestly, my Thinkpad from 2015 was still used in my family until recently. The battery was pretty bad, same as on my 2015 MBP, but other than that, I put Fedora on it, and it was still really fast.

What's the point of this comment? Zed didn't exist in 1998, so I think it's forgivable that Zed didn't support remote editing in 1998.

It's pretty funny you'd comment this at the same time there's a thread on the front page with people complaining about emacs bugs/performance issues: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41954030

Is that really the best we can do? Should we have frozen tech in 1998 with our 28.8kbps modems and stopped trying to improve anything ever again? Why did you switch to this emacs fad when you could have stuck with ed(1)?

I think it's great that people are advancing the state of the art. Good for Zed.

Speaking for myself, I would never buy such a thing. The reason I game on PC is because I need a decent PC for work anyway, so building one that can also game is cheaper than buying a console.

If I was really concerned about security I'd sooner dual boot into a second OS that had nothing on it, than buy a second box just to game on.
I use cast iron for everything I possibly can, but there is one use case I still need non-stick pans for: frying eggs. The only way to get them to not stick in even the best seasoned cast iron pan is copious amounts of oil, which seems like it's probably worse than a few molecules of PTFE derivates.

They address this in the article - they're statically linking with musl, which should address most distros, and their phrasing indicates that they're testing multiple distros too.

> Unlike our normal Linux builds, the remote server can be compiled with musl, which requires no dynamic linking. This lets it work on older distros (where before we ran into compatibility problems with glibc) and on modern share-nothing distros like Nix that don't have a global set of libraries to dynamically link.
Years ago I lived in Northern England, in a town at the heart of the Industrial Revolution. The street was a long series of exactly carbon copy houses - each one exactly the same as the next, sharing one wall each all the way down the hill - one hundred houses. And when someone sold their house, everyone else knew how much their house had gone up or down in value.

Today I live in a suburban “new build” where every house is different - bedrooms on this floor or that, facing this way or that, a through living room, a utility room here or a larger kitchen there.

Every house is a unique snowflake and no-one knows what the price “should” be.

And try learning the lessons of productivity when every house is a unique snowflake - factories don’t do that for the reasons we expect.

If we want cheap housing we know how - it’s apartments 7-10 stories high, in dense urban environments. It can be nice but it’s not McMansions
Rather, the existence of black holes demonstrates that gravity is not renormalizable.

The last sentence in the paper:

"It seems that gravity is a low energy effective field theory description of something else that is not a quantum field theory."

QFTs like QED and QCD are renormalizable. This is a technique used to eliminate the infinities that arise in calculations from self-interaction. For a very long time, renormalization was viewed as hocus pocus (including by the person who discovered it). Later, mathematicians were able to provide a solid theoretical foundation for it.......but only as an effective field theory valid at particular size and energy scales.

Net net, the standard model is an approximation of something more fundamental. Gravity being nonrenormalizable shows that "something" is not a QFT.

We have a working solution that some games still use, dedicated servers with admins that can investigate and ban people themselves. Has its own suite of problems but it works well against cheaters.

But skill based matchmaking type games where you're matched with random people is fundamentally incompatible with this model, that is why the person you responded to you said that you're suggesting that these games should cease to exist.
This method uses "critical tokens", which I don't think you can detect until after you've generated an entire response. Using them as part of the search function seems infeasible for long outputs, but technically possible. Using it on single token outputs seems imminently feasible and like a cool research direction.

I think the paper itself demonstrates that the model has something internally going on which is statistically related to whether it's answer is correct on a given benchmark. Obviously, the LLM will not always be perfectly accurate about these things. However, let's say you are using an LLM to summarize sources. There's no real software system right now that signals whether or not the summary is correct. You could use this technique to train probes to find if a human would agree that the summary is correct, and then flag outputs where the probes say the output wouldn't agree with a human for human review. This is a lot less expensive of a way to detect issues with your LLM than just asking a human to review every single output.

While we don't have great methods for "curing it", we do have some. As I mentioned in a sibling post, contextual calibration and adding/adjusting training data are both options. If you figure out the bug was due to RAG doing something weird, you could adjust your RAG sources/chunking. Regardless, you can't put any human thought into curing bugs that you haven't detected.

-4/5 of the Tibetians were actually slaves (western media calls it bond servant if it's about tibet...sounds better)

-Infant mortality was astronomically high.

-Education was absent outside monastery's.

-The Dalai Lama accepted the post of Vice-President of the National People's Congress and was even friends with Xi's father.

-Some "other" entity told the Lama he'd probably be killed and fled to India.

It is a trained skill. And one that you are very unlikely to be able to do without training. Such that it really does come as a sort of memory that you implant in your muscles.

You seem to be objecting because it is not perfect recall memory at play? But it is more about appealing to "remembering how to ride a bike" where you can kind of let the body flow into all of the various responses it needs to do to make the skill work. And if you've never done it... expect to fall down. Your muscles don't have the memory of coordinating in the right way.

And no, you are not calculating and predicting your way to what most people refer to for muscle memory. Is why juggling takes practice, and not just knowing where the balls have to be going.
