Isn't "deep learning" specifically referring to the breakthroughs that finally started addressing the issues preventing architectures with more than a single hidden layer from achieving anything?

Unless I'm getting all of that wrong, it doesn't sound like that bad of a term. I get that it has since been used and abused to absurdity. But it's not like it came out of nowhere at first.
That second ad is beyond embarrassing both for the lazy-ass wife character and Apple.

Agree 100%. I recently found that Kant had pretty much introduced this concept as categorical imperative[0]: 'Act as if the maxims of your action were to become through your will a universal law of nature.'

In the end it'll require some kind of active adapter as DP Alt Mode with USB-C doesn't support DP++. With regular DisplayPort ports supporting DP++, the port could detect HDMI and DVI connections and support those signaling protocols on that same port. This is how your passive mini display port adapter works on DisplayPort/Thunderbolt ports, as those support DP++. However, that's not the case with USB-C Alt Mode. See:

You might be able to get it to work with this. I've found Apple Cinema displays to be very picky in the end, so it may not work. This will require being plugged directly into a port supporting video out.

It's a chicken-and-egg problem. Fortunately it appears that utility accounts are slowly popping up now that there's an audience.
Indeed.

"The internet never forgets" was a fun notion to quip about when the WWW was only a few years old, but that was a quarter of a century ago.

The reality is that it forgets shit all the time.
> is it fully autonomous?

Yes. If you understood how remote assistance works, you'd agree.

There are no autonomous systems that doesn't require some form on human help. The question is can the vehicle do all the driving tasks and when it does fail, it does so gracefully and achieves "minimal risk condition" on its own (because, of course, no one can intervene remotely in real time). Waymo certainly does this.
No-Frill BTC Polling
PlaceYour.vote - Crowdsourcing Bitcoin Price Predictions

A minimalist platform that lets the crypto community predict whether Bitcoin will hit $100K in 2024. No sign-ups required, just pure market sentiment tracking with real-time results visualization. Think of it as a simplified prediction market focused on major Bitcoin milestones.
Not to dispute the main point you are making, but that's assuming 360K salary. OpenAI engineers make significantly more than that.

I saw one comment saying you have to enable language preview features. I haven't tried it myself.
> You may be on a team that has decided "developer burnout"

No. Burnout is a work life balance thing more than a "doing work at work that is related to the business" thing. Fun can be had outside of work hours, just as everyone else who is employed handles it. You can give people meaningful work they're interested in and still keep it related to the actual business.

> Which is a problem in and of itself.

Absolutely not. If you don't have a near infinity list, then that means you don't have a roadmap. Why aren't you thinking about the future?

> Call it "skill investment time."

Yes, and this can always be done in the context of the work. If it's not related to the work, or the business, then it's not an investment for the people paying you.
I don't think your money means as much to someone less dependent on macro-complexity.

Built my first ever web app in Cursor in 1.5 weeks
Hey HN,

I've spent a considerable amount of time witnessing others building impressive things with Claude, GPT, Cursor, Bolt etc. As a non-dev I decided to give it a shot and build a full stack web app using react/resend/and supabase. I tried to learn programming for years but never was fully able to commit due to getting hung up on syntax and logic in different languages.

Over the last 1.5 weeks, I used Cursor to build an AI agent directory that can take submissions and emails, with a full front and and backend.

It was pretty eye opening. I can truly see that everyone will become a creator with a unique personality applied to different crafts because AI reduces the barrier to execute. The whole notion of remix culture from software will be really exciting.

Anyway, during the build I did encounter some challenges configuring the database in regards to image loading, so I hired someone from Upwork to help push to production.

I plan to continue adding submissions until I reach 100 agents and discover new features along the way.

Throwing in a link: https://www.agentat.work/

I’d love to hear your thoughts or suggestions on how to best build with Cursor/AI and improve a site for loading speeds. Also if anyone has built a directory before would love tips.

Design inspo was from Mobbin, ShadCN, and V0!

Thanks for reading!
My grandparents died recently. They were born in the 1920s. Cleaning out their house I discovered countless letters, photo albums and diaries that I had no idea existed. I regret not asking them for permission to go through their stuff while they were still alive. I think they would have said yes - and there would have been many, many interesting conversations. I have read many biographies. But going through their things I can see how much there was to learn from them. And I did learn a lot from them - but some things just never came up, because they had forgotten and I didn’t know what questions to ask.
We've had enough of that, thank you.

What I've found is you'll find open discussion and real free speech versus whatever Musk tried to implement at Twitter.
I don't know, I was just answering in behalf of the parent comment
> I don’t think there’s a clear answer, but what we have isn’t it.

The answer is entirely clear but it's uncomfortable.

Society is moved forward by the top percentile, not by even the "average". You can only help those who wish to help themselves, and expending massive resources on kids who are not there to learn (or cannot) has had predictable results.

Some evil folks in history have used this exact strategy of crippling the "top kids" of a group for their genocidal plans. It's highly effective.

The best thing you can do is make sure those "top kids" are identified early and tracked into the proper classes regardless of socioeconomic background. Yes, this means segregating students based on ability earlier than later. Doing this ends up helping those "bottom kids" once they reach adulthood since society is better overall for everyone.

I feel if people are finding programming as creative and interesting with AI as without there is a chance they actually prefer product management?

Half statement, half question… I have personally stopped using AI assistance in programming as I felt it was making my mind lazy, and I stopped learning.
I love the sentiment, but are there some potential flaws in the analysis?

We mostly pay lip service to these things, but if you look around the world at things that get done (what you refer to!), there's a lot more than lip service and nice sentiments/intentions involved.

Is the world what we make it?

People are made of the same things. They aren't somehow incomparable.

Someone with living and attentive parents, who lived in good health to their nineties, lived in their own home, in a well-to-do country, where their child came to visit them, in their own car, in good weather, etc... what more did they expect to happen? This is the best outcome by far they could expect from life. They've won the lottery, what more do they want?

No. You completely misunderstood my point. I'm not "emotionally damaged". Overwhelming majority of people on planet Earth don't have it anywhere near as good as the people in OP or a bunch of people commenting here about their quite alive and quite well-to-do families. With all that happened to me, I'm still among the few percents who has it relatively well. Vastly more people in this world will have it worse than I have.

The entitlement of people crying about how bad they have it, when they are among the fraction of a percent of those who have it the best it can possibly be is what's so disgusting.
The ad is so terrible that at this point I will assume it's a setup for the 3rd-8th ads where Apple Intelligence helps with the divorce by translating angry texts and manages the custody agreement along with helping to locate divorce lawyers.
Not to worry: the index includes 1.5% DOGE, a meme coin, so you know it's a real investment vehicle.

But seriously- the purpose of an index is to mitigate risk by spreading your bets. Whereas all crypto rises and falls with Bitcoin, and Bitcoin rises and falls based on speculation, decoupled from any value it may or may not provide.

So is this an index?
Sorry this ended up formatting badly
In primary school there was a teacher who straight up hated me because I did the exercises too fast and this would cause extra work for him to keep me busy.

Unusual slowness might be experienced if the battery is dead or missing, as the embedded controller / SMC will assert the CPUs bi-directional PROCHOT signal and with that, lock it to the lowest available clock speed (700 MHz-ish on a 2nd gen Core i7, sitting in a 2011 MBP).

If you coerce it to... not do that, the laptop might reset whenever power usage goes up quickly, because it was designed with the expectation that the battery will jump in and act as a reserve.
Same. Came here to say there's no option to only show me fonts that don't use ligatures (and some come in both/multiple flavours). That checkbox needs to be tri-state.
Any large city, there are (large) areas I feel pretty comfortable in, especially not in the middle of the night. And there are areas I generally avoid including in cities that I otherwise consider "safe."

I do think you need to be aware of the environment generally and, while there is always some risk (anywhere), you can alleviate a lot of it.

I'm very familiar with a large northeast metropolitan complex and there are places/times I wouldn't go but lots of places/times I would.
Since the primary thing my son has used his school-issued device for is playing games and watching youtube during class, this doesn't surprise me. Whether that's a failure of EdTech is, I suppose, up to interpretation.
Very nice. Modern GPUs really are fast as drawing points.

It's pretty similar to a project I've been working on for the past year, scraping Facebook instead of BlueSky (which is a bit harder since FB doesn't expose an API for that). I currently have about 140 million nodes on my scraped graph and a GUI with pathfinding and stuff like that.

It's a shame though because as nice as the thing is, I'm not sure I can publish it online, given it contains names of people. I don't think the GDPR would be very happy.

Which is why I'm a bit surprised you published this, aren't you afraid of people, uh, disliking the fact that they're present in your dataset?
People have different abilities to "chunk" information into their working memory. For some people, a single slot in memory can represent a large abstraction. As much hate as it gets, "jargon" does have value in that it can succinctly express a huge amount of information in a handful of words. Software Design Patterns are particularly useful for this reason - if I can hold all the meaning of "singleton pattern" in one slot, I can move on to more interesting problems and load up the remaining slots with other information. But if I didn't understand the singleton pattern, I would need to retain a whole slew of information about how a certain class is extended from a Singleton base, why constructors are private members, and so on. Those each end up occupying their own slot in working memory, and I'm tapped out.

The key observation here is that the mind is very, very flexible and adaptable to assimilating new information and working with abstractions. So when you feel like you're at the edge of your working memory when solving a problem, then maybe it's time to take a step back and find ways to simplify or abstract those pieces into a larger concept that can fit more easily into one "slot". Instead of remembering 6 pieces of information, it might be easier to learn a particular pattern, load that into "Slot 1", and use "Slot 2" to keep track of the particular ways the code you're looking at deviates from the standard pattern.

It's also interesting to note that these "slots" aren't really fixed in size, nor are they even comparable between people. Some people have way better abilities to cram a huge amount of mathematical information per slot, while others are very good at people interactions and assimilating all their observations. Finally, all of this can be trained - just because you're bad at one skill, doesn't mean you will always remain bad (yes, even outside the "critical learning period")
There is a /s missing in there. Muni is painfully slow, the entire system including BART dangerous, and the timetable a joke.

I'm pretty damn sure he was thiking about the manual when his controls were glitching and decided to eject. Which also carries risk: his helmet and mask were ripped off and he had to drop the seat pan and raft in order not to get tangled in the power lines.

The Navy's contractors should sort out the glitches in their expensive space junk or build UAVs instead. What if this was a real combat scenario instead of an exercise, where the pilot didn't get to call 911 and risked getting captured by ISIS or some other maniacs?
On Windows, "Environment" is stored in the Win32 Thread Information Block/Thread Environment Block (TIB/TEB), so it's thread-local rather than process-global.

Uber without the expense or problem of a driver.
> Ideally, your working set fits into the cache

Ideally, your working set fits into the registers, and that was most win feature or RISC, having relatively simple hardware (if compared to genuine CISC, like IBM-360 mainframes) they saved significant space on chip for more registers.

- Register-register operations are definitely avoid memory wall, so data cache become insignificant.

Sure, if we compare comparable, not apples vs carrots.
I spent a week there very recently (like 3 weeks ago) and checked the prices a lot. It was always around 50%-100% higher than Uber. It was never even close to 20% higher.

I took a couple of trips for the novelty value (as someone else mentioned, it's by far the best tourist attraction in SF at the moment!). The experience was really great - very relaxing - but there's no way I'd use it if I just wanted transport. I can see women paying a premium for it out of fear of taxi drivers, but that's not really an issue for me. I would maybe pay a small premium to avoid awkward lack of conversation, and the bad driving of typical taxi drivers, but not 50%!
Interestingly Nvidia make the exact same claim in 1999 when launching the Geforce 256.

"3-D graphics systems maker nVidia (NVDA) Tuesday unveiled its next generation graphics accelerator, which it hopes will deflect some of the attention from new console gaming machines. The GeForce 256, which nVidia calls the world's first graphics processing unit, will be the successor to its TNT 2 line of graphics chips."

> https://money.cnn.com/1999/08/31/technology/nvidia/

Reading deeper, it seems like Nvidia considered it the first because it was the first GPU to ship with hardware accelerated T&L:

"GeForce 256 was marketed as "the world's first 'GPU', or Graphics Processing Unit", a term Nvidia defined at the time as "a single-chip processor with integrated transform, lighting, triangle setup/clipping, and rendering engines that is capable of processing a minimum of 10 million polygons per second"."

> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce_256

I would also consider earlier NVidia parts like the TNT2 to be GPUs, personally, not sure I agree with this claim either. I certainly called my TNT2 a graphics card back when I bought one in the 90s.
Hard to overstate just how much I like this. Not only does the end result convey information in many dimensions, it's also extremely appealing visually. The graininess that stems from rendering such a large number of nodes really adds a nice touch here, something that you don't often see in other graph visualizations.
This is such a useful doc. My favorite part is that it has the authority of the postgresql.org domain making it nice to cite.

AT proto is an open network. Everything you do is public by default. e.g. anyone else can just drink from the firehose.
What happens when the car starts making the decisions about where you're headed, or not headed? Oddly, "autonomous" now refers to he machine, not to the human. Palantir just started training Anthropic against secret government data. Isn't it easier to have your cybertaxi drive you to the authorities than for them to have to track you down?
The visualization looks absolutely fantastic. Great work. Would love to dive deeper into the tech behind it.

I'll just share some irony. They say X/Twitter is full of people spreading hate speech. I just logged in into my old BlueSky account. My entire feed is full of people saying how much they _hate_ X/Twitter.
That second link was nearly limb-preserving, and may actually be the only solution to some self-defined axiomatic arguments.

They are definitely cleaner right now, but that's probably mostly because only rich people and tourists currently use them. If they ever become cheaper than an Uber I would expect them to become smellier too.
Bluesky to me still seems like a place completely dominated by software type (HN crowd). I know there are obvious exceptions there's no need for you to list them.

Threads has extreme normies, bluesky has the nerds, and twitter seems to have just the right mixture of both.
No. I'm not confident they are getting them right everytime. Human is in the loop.

No, Tesla has let select users run full self-driving betas for years, it's a very capable system now.

Here's a good and relatively recent (3 months old) video about how its current capacities:

If you want to see how the latest beta drives, it's version 12.5.6:

It's still far from ready to release, but it is also improving very quickly - far from solely hype. They have the most impressive non-geolocked self-driving system as far as I'm aware.

If you are looking for stuff from big publishers then yeah it's gonna be a bit slow/empty but there are a lot of small/indie devs on bluesky and it's awesome being able to interact with them directly without all the spam that usually came with posts on twitter.
That seems reductive in an advanced stealth fighter that has frequency hopping, anti-jamming comms system using computer controlled phased array antennas. The F35 has at least 11 different types of comms systems (VHF x4, UHF x2, HAVEQUICK, SINCGARS, Link-16, etc). So a lot of functionality can be lost without basic unencrypted radio comms goes down.

Does google report the quarterly numbers for Waymo separately? It will be interesting to see how these taxi services are producing. Feels like they have finally found a path to monetizing their investments in this space but cannot help but also think it’s a net negative because of the cost of each car
Haha why do I have to be for/against Waymo like it's a sports team and blindly cheer for the local one? It's a technology with good and bad things about it
It’s just a straight up lie to call the Muni “painfully slow” and “dangerous.” I ride the trains every day to and from the Mission and rarely encounter any issues. Trains come every 5-15m, depending on time of day; not sure where the “joke” is here. To me, the experience is quite comparable to light rail in places like Amsterdam, Brussels, and Melbourne, except that we have a lot less of it.

BART is a bit more grimy but hardly less safe than e.g. the NY Subway.
> It doesn't really fix any of the scaling problems with car transport regardless.

But the investors are not saying that, and they won't be around when everyone else gets stuck with the bill in the future.

The key point of the video is less about AV itself, but the idea of betting on car-centric infrastructure. Did you see the part where Jason talks about the municipalities justifying cuts to investments in public transit because "people can just go ahead and take a uber anyway?"
Could I get an update on my application?
You completely ignored the substantive part of my post, so I'll restate without distractions.

1. Do you believe that with these latest round of updates, our benevolent corporate overloads Google and Apple (both advertising companies to some extent) have at long last fully solved privacy, plugging every possible information leak and fixing every possible software bug, both present and future?

2. If you do, then do you think it's desirable that we expect every participant in modern society to enter into one-sided, legally-binding contracts with companies they've never heard of with every small action they take on a daily basis, and then use complicated technical measures to avoid fulfilling their end of those contracts?
