I don't think saying past-life memories are incredibly suspicious is unscientific. Things start breaking down at probabilities that low. In theory you shouldn't disregard that stuff (and for good reasons), but practically I'm not sure how I would approach it.
You do need to pass a void value if you use a hashmap as a set (eg StringHashMap(void))

Adding an entry requires you to pass a void value:

map.put("hi", {});
What’s surprising is that this guidance comes from someone doing machine learning research at Google according to their github, and there’s nothing in the guidance that a curious person couldn’t have figured out themselves just by playing with it.

With LLM’s the gap between novice and expert insight doesn’t seem very large.

I think we have yet to see new UX patterns emerge for this tech.

We have anchored closely on chat bot behaviour and started looking at multi agentic systems, but these might be local maxima and some other paradigms can get value out of these tools.

I’ll use this repo as a handy example, but there isn’t anything new compared to my own independent playing with the tools.

One interesting part was about zero shot sometimes being better than few-shot prompting. This is something many (me included) assumed to make intuitive sense that helping the LLM anchor on some examples is always better than 0-shot.

It would have been nice to see some test examples of this.

That's clearly the "why" no one pushing for innovative products is answering. A couple decades ago one salary could sustain a family in most developed countries, now it seems to be a struggle with two for many, we have mass unemployment, productivity soared but somehow society also can't afford enough cleaners to keep places decent.

Is the solution really to replace even more workers by capital, or do we have an issue with how we measure value that we should fix first?
Here's plaintext extracted from libgen (all unique english epubs)

Total size around 300 GB, which is more manageable than Libgen at 65 TB

It's in OpenAI Batch API format but Batch API is too slow to process this so I abandoned that plan. The plaintext is still useful and can be extracted using sed or jq.

P.S. .torrent and .jsonl files are plaintext and can't harm your system. Make sure you check the extension of any file downloaded from the internet before opening it

The title is a bit confusing as open-source separation of ... reads like source separation, which this is not. Rather, it is a pitch detection algorithm which also classifies the instrument the pitch originated with.

I think it's really neat, but the results look like it could take more time to fix the output than using a manual approach (if really accurate results are required).
Here comes the boomer who learned arithmetic in grade school.

Start with the bill total before taxes and service charge, if any.

Round to the nearest dollar. Divide by ten (move the decimal place one digit to the left):

127.80 -> 128 -> 12.8

15.95 -> 16 -> 1.60

That gives 10%.

5% is half that. 15% add half to the 10%. For 20% double the 10%. OK to round to make the math easier if necessary.

18% is more than 15% but less than 20%, you don’t have to get it exactly.

If in doubt round up.

To split the tip, divide by the number of people paying. Sigh and skip that one person who will deliver a speech on how they never tip as a matter of principle blah blah.

You should only need a calculator or web site for very large parties. Your phone has a calculator.

If this arithmetic proves challenging you should let your parents pay and tip.
you should also try to avoid cars and electric lights, grooms and gas light maintainers need jobs too

Lawyers were not involved; the point of arbitration was supposed to be a quicker and cheaper way to resolve the dispute. Accepting arbitration removed your ability to sue later.

I naively believed that the process would be vaguely fair. It never occurred to me that they would allow the other side to see what I said, but not allow me to challenge (or even see) what the other side said.
$20k... Doesn't that buy a lot of serviced laundry? I am unaware about prices in the rest of the world, but 20k is more than a lifetime of having my laundry picked up and ironed every week (which I do as I too hate laundry).

I'll do you one even better: "Never land in a situation where you just got fired and have to find a job quickly. Easy, right?".

That's what 99.9% of all negotiation advice I ever saw boils down to. Basically beat the game before it beats you.

Really cute... until you remember most people don't live to "play the negotiation game". They want a stable paycheck and to raise their family.

But who's asking, right.
Then there's the metaphorical "handle": a horse that "has a handle on him" is so well trained that one can put him in every situation just as if he had had a handle and could be picked up and set down at will...

(it might be interesting to explore the relations between this notion and "handiness", or to how we say cars "handle" well)
efficiency and productivity is clearly more important for development of all industries than what you value. Political institutions are not very good at preparing for unfamiliar problems, dont count on them doing that. Just push for progress in natural way, and for politicians to adjust to an already happend changes. Thats the best that we can do.

Ask HN: Where to put a static page that would last forever
As I get older, I've decided to write physical books. I want something of a legacy for after I leave.

In the back of the book, I'd like to put a 2D barcode to send folks to a static webpage somewhere, maybe for further information, an update, text changes, etc.

But where would that go? If I buy a domain I've got to renew it every year. Same goes for AWS static page hosting. I thought about using my GitHub account, but each year they keep screwing around with keys and logins and whatnot. I'm sure that most all of these places I'm using will delete both my account and data after a certain number of years of inactivity.

So where do I put a static webpage I can link to and be assured (mostly) that it'll be around 100 years or more from now?
Not in Europe. I have successfully raised my paycheck during negotiations, likely two, maybe three times, over 23 years of career (I mean I sucked at anything business-related throughout 95% of it but hey), and it was done begrudgingly and I burned some bridges and was then first on the chopping block when the company started struggling.

As mentioned upthread in another comment: all the negotiation advice boils down to "start looking for a job while you have a job". Nobody is ever giving good advice how to get a good salary when your arse is on the wall (i.e. you have no option but to find a job in the next 2-3 months).

Please tidy your space.
Good point, although it probably won't be 4 for most labs, perhaps 2. My gf does 1 nightshift a week and she is alone in the lab for the 3-4 emergency samples that come in (versus a team of people processing hundreds during the day), there simply isn't much demand at night. Most blood sampling has a human pipeline of people going to their doctor or hospital with an issue, getting blood taken, which is sent to a lab, the majority of that during the day.

Again for large scale centralised labs that get sent samples throughout the 24 hour period from all across the world, where timing isn't an big issue, this could work. But most labs are small, close to the customer, time-sensitive, and work with couriers to bring samples because samples need to be transported and stored in specific ways not to go bad.

She works quite long shifts btw (10-12h), but that's more a function of her country/company culture rather than the norm. Probably 6-8 is more common indeed.
I think you didn’t reply to what you intended.
> That said, I've found the "competing offer" element to be of little to no value. Even when I had 7 competing offers, not one of them negotiated more than maybe 10% on the amount.

What else could it have been besides forgetting their own logic? It wouldn't be logic anyway, just some rationalization/justification which they could have made to go in either direction. I don't see how this is rejecting what they see.

Which analysts were those?

The ones I was reading emphasised the need for a strong sanctions regime with penalties for third party workarounds, with the reasoning given that Russia had prepared its economy for war and already isolated it to some extent.

Maybe your typical cable TV talking head pundit might’ve been confident about Russia’s economy collapsing, but the actual professional analysts and civil servants who advise governments were much more cautious.

Okay, sounds like different definitions.

If you have a single system that can solve any problem any human can, I'd call that ASI, as it's way smarter than any human. It's an extremely high bar, and before we reach it I think we'll have very intelligent systems that can do more than most humans, so it seems strange not to call those AGIs (they would meet the definition of AGI on Wikipedia [1]).

I don't know, but I've put this question in my favourites list!

I do mantain a stripped-down ZIP of one of my key sites in Zenodo:

https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10119195

But maybe you could just host a plain-text or similar file there or at Dryad and hand out the DOI / URL?
I actually find compound literals quite pleasing, visually.

Parentheses, brackets and braces I find can help a lot in guiding your eyes though code. They make it more „regular“, or lessen the „entropy“ (physicists, please don‘t stone me).

For this reason I‘ve come to dislike Rust’s braceless if-syntax, after being a die-hard fan. With parentheses it just reads better.

I come from embedded audio programming, where e.g. the variable loads of UI code can be problematic (=audible) for audio quality if you don't do things right.

Maybe we need to do things the other way around? So instead of trying to mask everything we are doing, we run browsers/tabs in a processing environment where the noise can't be measured because it does not occur during the same time window. In audio that is done by using a high priority fixed timer that interrupts the rest of the processing.

My OS knowledge is too marginal to know whether that would be truly feasible, but I can't help to think: yeah it is possible to fix that on a more fundamental level.
But is it performant? People use and do many things that are awful in production, so that's not really an objective plus. Also; not that many systems need that much optimised performance, so it might be ok to be slow if there are many nice features that are more important.

I'm quite bullish on widespread fuel synthesis being a thing. It's carbon neutral, sure, but the big benefit in the Earth I'm familiar with is it's entirely decentralized. There's absolutely no need for conflict over concentrated oil and gas reserves, and no need to manage all these supply lines. Just head down to your local LCH4 plant and get your tanks refilled, paying similar prices as today, just the cost goes directly to energy and capex rather than all these storage and transport networks.
Can only agree with you. I just created a ticket for this:

It's a combination of the current market and the area of work. One Elixir position I want had their hiring guy say on Slack they now have 900+ applications and that's some short 2 weeks after the job ad was posted. Crazy.
>If you have a single system that can solve any problem any human can, I'd call that ASI

I don't think that's the popular definition.

AGI = solve any problem any human can. In this case, we've not reached AGI since it can't solve most FrontierMath problems.

ASI = intelligence far surpasses even the smartest humans.

If the definition of AGI has is that it's more intelligent than the average human, you can argue that we already have AGI today. But no one thinks we have AGI today. Therefore, AGI is not Claude 3.5.

Hence, I think the most acceptable definition for AGI is that it can solve any problem any human can.

That tells me what Delta does, but not why I might want syntax highlighting in the diff context. I want to quickly see the differences, not a kaleidoscope of colors.

This is actually pretty hard to do. We all have heard of internet rot/dead internet theory.

One shout might be to link to internet archive instead of the resource directly. Though we can't be sure internet archive will keep the current system working as is (e.g. search params may change etc)

The only solid solution I have is to set up a foundation and pour money in so that they will be responsible for upkeep. But that would be an hassle to execute.

100 years in internet time is very long, internet as we know it now hasn't been along for 100 years.

I wonder if there aren't services that specialize in this.

Sci-fi authors were worried about rebellions of enslaved robots, while the industry figures, why risk jumping into the unknown, when we can fake a smart computer with overseas labor and an Internet connection, and wage slavery we know how to handle...

Anyway, if we're going to fake smart robots this way, why not just honestly call it what it is? Remote household staff. Might as well give them better sensors and actuators, but I guess this is giving humans too much agency and risk; what if the operator decides to hurt the "robot" owners or something? The vendor would not have that. Cannot have that. Humans are too messy to deal with.

Or is this the short-term future of all automation? I look at my robotic vacuum cleaner now, occasionally pausing for a second or two while it figures out where to go, and I wonder - maybe in those moments, it's using some Protein Intelligence Chip to query a bunch of random humans somewhere?

This handwriting is not awful, so no surprise it's recognized well

Websites doing this would have to be careful about it: they might become the only website triggering a lot of interrupts randomly, which then makes them easy to identify.

Our countermeasure which triggers interrupts randomly is implemented as a browser extension, the source code for which is available here: https://github.com/jackcook/bigger-fish

I'm not sure I would recommend it for daily use though, I think our tests showed it slowed page load times down by about 10%.
Thanks for the feedback. I will try to build a more detailed compatibility reference as you describe.
I’m not sure I would bet on the web itself still existing in 100 years. That being said, I think the biggest risk here is your hosting company going out of business, or changing their products such that they won’t host your site anymore.

If you’re OK with your website having a big ugly URL (which might not be a problem if you use a QR code to point to it anyway) then hosting a static website on AWS S3 might be your best bet. There’s so much money flowing into AWS right now, I imagine there will be enough interest to keep it going for several decades to come.

EDITED TO ADD As far as i know you can prepay your AWS bills, so you could prepay a massive amount and hope it outruns future price inflation
I think that was part of the fascination of PC:s as a kid. Police Quest or Civilization and so on. It was this kind of adult world that you knew little of and were exploring on your own, or with your friends. The games were not holding your hand. It often was game over. But you could try again. Also, your parents were never involved in any way (except financing the thing). The audience of PC games was different than console games. They expected more from the player. Sometimes it was frustrating, but often times I think one learned something. Also one had to use the dictionary sometimes. There were also less other things competing for their attention so kids had more persistence...
