There is math the abstract field and math the concrete example you're working on.

Current education is _extremely_ biased to concrete arithmetic and a bit of algebra. If you have a predisposition to either you will do extremely well. If you don't you won't.

Those have little to do with how math is done by mathematicians.

In short: education needs to catch up to what's happened since the 1920s in maths. Parents are conservative and don't want their kids to learn something they themselves don't understand, so we're stuck with what we have until enough generations pass and 20th century math is absorbed by osmosis into the curriculum.
So, I have a custom prompt I use with GPT that I found here a year or so ago. One of the custom prompt instructions was something along the lines of being more direct when it does not know something. Since then, I have not had that problem, and have even managed to get just "no" or "I don't know" as an answer.
Can you give an example? It seems like you have a lot to share but stopped short at a vague implication of a shadowy elite controlling entire academic subjects.
Please don't post shallow dismissals like this.

I'm still reading the article, but it's a fascinating, human-oriented look into a man's life, a man who is probably little known outside Africa. Answering the (implied) question in the headline is only a tiny part of the draw of the article.

I just use the API (well, via Openrouter) together with custom frontends like Open WebUI. No rate limiting issues then, and I can super easily switch models even in an existing conversation. Though I guess I do miss a few bells & whistles from the proprietary chat interfaces.
"Light of Other Days"/"Other Days, Other Eyes" by Bob Shaw is much closer - and poignant - take on that idea.
From your own link:

"The speed has a weak dependence on frequency and pressure in ordinary air, deviating slightly from ideal behavior."

"The speed of sound is raised by humidity. The difference between 0% and 100% humidity is about 1.5 m/s at standard pressure and temperature, but the size of the humidity effect increases dramatically with temperature."

"Slight" can matter significantly in an application like this.
I'm curious how you get "not an every administration thing" out of the headline:

> State attorneys general have sued Trump's administration 138 times — nearly double those of Obama and Bush

And sub-heading:

> It's routine for attorneys general to sue the federal government, but experts say the sharp rise signifies the growing partisan and legal divide with Washington.
Plausible is quite slow for large sites
The speed of sound fluctuates with density. Altitude and temperature both change density.
Easier said than done . Don't I have to have it programmed?
How do you think one leads to the other?

Engineers due tend to be pretty critical of things that can’t be accurately and consistently measured (not meant as a slight. It’s true, but it doesn’t make those soft sciences worthless), but they aren’t the only ones making these systems.

Most of the time, engineers are given requirements and build systems to satisfy them.

You wouldn’t blame a construction worker for gentrification, right?
Do you have any creative ways to source traffic?

But clearly the author got his GPT to play orders of magnitude better than in those videos
So `format` is a magic method like `__str__` in python. I hope they rethink it when they get close to 1.0
I wonder if OpenAI have been less strict about not training on proprietary or legally questionable code sources.
FWIW I completely agree, I think -> rt is a very silly idiom in declarations. It’s fine and useful for lambdas.
It's ironic that the right to bear arms was kind of a British invention from the English Bill of Rights 1689 which got copied to the US. It goes to show that you can change things.

Show HN: Build Dashboard 3x Faster
Hi HN! We built an AI-powered dashboard builder to help small and scaling online sellers build busiess dashboards 3x faster. It is designed for end users who aren't data experts, but it is ready for technical people to try and share feedback.

Try it here: https://app.processly.ai
Demo/How-to-use: https://youtu.be/Gpt2KBpMKas?si=7Nw_walC1KuFkhyz

What it does:
1. generate SQL and return its results while keeping the raw data private
2. ui to create and share dashbaords
3. affordable - it's like Tableau but for small busiesses

It is focused on simplicity, especially for non-technical teams. We'd love your thoughs.

All too often the GraphQL schema reflects the underlying database schema. After all, the database schema works, right? Of course, this isn't recommended practice, it's just what ends up happening.
I've heard good things about ExtensionPay[1]. It didn't have what I needed at the time so I hand rolled my own on Firebase using a Stripe integration component[2]. As you probably know the issue with extensions is that the whole codebase is exposed so you need some kind of back end if you're handling payments and associated secret stores.

I alluded to this in another comment, but I have 4o to be better than Sonnet in Swift, Obj-C, and Applescript. In my experiences, Claude is worse than useless with those three languages when compared to GPT. Everything else, I'd say the differences haven't been too extreme. Though, o1-preview absolutely smokes both in my experiences too, but it isn't hard for me to hit it's rate limit either.
Yes, I have a monetization plan in mind.

Oh, hex. Another bashism. Not sure when I would have needed that in a shell script last time. So in most cases just using [ solves the problem. If you want to use hex from untrusted user input you need to validate the input first. Yes, the bash programmer needs to be aware of many pitfalls. I wasn't, but I would call myself more a bash avoider than a bash programmer. Yes, I use bash for interactive use, talking only about scripting.
I don't think the context window has to change for that to happen. The LLMs don't just pick the most likely next token, it's sampled from the distribution of possible tokens so on repeat runs you can get different results.
I had the same thought, but a counterargument is that the human art has also been filtered to be real artist stuff rather than what a random person would draw.

It's still impressive that pleasant AI art is possible.

All that money and talk of "scale" and yet not only it is slow but costs billions a year to run at normal load and is struggling at high load.

This is essentially Google-level load and they can't do it.
Physicist here. Classical error correction may not always be a straight up repetition code, but the concept of redundancy of information still applies (like parity checks).

In a nutshell, in quantum error correction you cannot use redundancy because of the no-cloning theorem, so instead you embed the qubit subspace in a larger space (using more qubits) such that when correctable errors happen the embedded subspace moves to a different "location" in the larger space. When this happens it can be detected and the subspace can be brought back without affecting the states within the subspace, so the quantum information is preserved.

This article is equally as unhinged as the people it’s criticizing. Referring to the 1948 ethnic cleansing of Arabs as a “war against Israel” is next level dehumanization, but unfortunately par for the course for Zionist drivel.

> Through the twentieth century, as aristocracy gave way to meritocracy, people learnt how to climb the greasy pole without access to these broad networks. Social mobility is largely a consequence of the structure of the economy, and not necessarily a consequence of networking. We are often told that, 'It's not what you know, it's who you know,' but maybe the people who found other ways to the top simply aren't as effective at sharing their secrets as the shmoozers.

I feel the "american dream" got that part right. Social mobility works best when you can start working locally to move up. That is, very low barrier to entrepreneurship. "Who you know" stops being a problem then, everyone can work their way into larger and larger networks.

For better or worse, I don't think we can get rid of "who you know" issue, because it's 100% natural. When you start a venture - whether it's a local shop or an Internet company or just remodeling your dog's kennel - you don't go to Global Employee Search Directory and look for potential co-founders; you just do it with a friend. Now, even the largest corporation, when you go all the way up to the top, is still a glorified version of neighbors building a common tool shack. So is almost every subgraph in the corporate ladder, if you zoom in on it.

So the problem, as I see it, is with an economy where most people have to effectively beg strangers for a job - i.e. employees (myself, I am such a person too). In this scenario, "who you know" at the lower levels becomes unfair to the larger whole.

I'm not sure what should be done about it, though.

(This is just some random thought I have, I haven't managed to sort them into a coherent whole just yet, sorry.)
On the surface, it sounds useful, but this sounds like a case where the potential harms greatly outweighs any other use, inc. doxxing, harassment, bullying, libel ... Unfortunately, there's no way to stop it cold.
Scarcity and the relentless competitive zero-sum slugfest of living makes everything a cost-benefit calculation: I have a limited number of waking hours and most of them are dedicated to battling it out for resources so I and my family can live. You can put your time into Enterprise, Entertainment, or Enlightenment, but anyone who does anything other than 100% Enterprise is losing out to those who do.

I would love to choose to be an artisan, a craftsman, a changer of the world, a multi-discipline Renaissance Man, (or just an over-entertained couch potato) but I need to make my mortgage payment next month.
Maybe the author's friend is just way better than me at this, but I tried applying her advice to some of the other images and I don't feel like it would have helped me.

Looking at the human impressionist painting "Entrance to the Village of Osny" that lots of people (including me) thought was AI, it seems like there's lots of details which don't really make sense. The road seems to seamlessly become the wall of a house on the right side for instance. On the other hand, even looking at the details, there's no details in the cherub image that I could see which would give anything away.

It always seemed barn raising events were a very effective and efficient way to build community infrastructure. But a death or crippling per barn is a damn high cost in blood!
Lol, I would have guessed you've been here long enough to experience it. :) It's probably not most folks, but when the topics of sociology and psychology come up there's definitely a contingent who reply with contempt.

This isn't a new concept, but the compartmentalization of subjects in school is one of the factors at play along with a hierarchy of subjects and students. You can observe how a lot of computer science folks hold mathematics and physics in high regard, and biologists, and sociologists in low regard. It's no coincidence that this maps to relative possession of the habitus valued by the ideological hegemony.

Again, it works to reinforce social statuses rather than dismantle them, often in ways that are detrimental to those actively, albeit unknowingly, contributing to the same systems.
I wouldn't run a Windows server, but at least it can manage a SYN flood, whereas MacOS doesn't have syncookies or similar (their version of pf has the syncookie keyword, but it seems like it only works for traffic that transits the host, not for traffic that is terminated by the host). Windows also has some pretty nice stuff for servers like receive side scaling (afaik, Microsoft brought that to market, or at least was very early).
> However, if it's inside a plastic case that blocks light, it doesn't.

You want an ordinary diode to allow current to flow easily when it senses light? Simple: shine a powerful laser at the plastic-encased diode and it will melt the plastic and liquify the metal, fusing it together and allowing current to flow again. See? You just needed to try harder.
I don't disagree, but good luck getting vendors to standardize on anything...
> These are really two separate purposes with a different interface contract.

This is a basic feature of inheritance in an object oriented language, you can take an interface that guarantees "this returns some string" and offer a more concrete guarantee "this returns the objects value as decimal" in the implementation.

> and to restrict implicit string conversion (concatenation) to classes implementing a StringConvertible interface with a corresponding separate toString method.

So anyone wanting to make their code trivially loggable now has to implement StringConvertible by copy pasting String toString(){ return toDebugString(); } into every single class they are implementing? You managed to make Java more verbose for no gain at all, please collect your AbstractAwardInstanceFactoryBuilder on your way out.

I just checked the Lichess board editor tool and it won’t let you continue analyzing with an engine if you have an illegal board setup (like the two kings adjacent to each other).

I haven’t tried this yet, but I think you can set up and analyze board positions that are legal but that could never be reached in a real game (e.g, having nine pawns of one color).
That's what my grandma did in the village in Hungary. But with schnapps. And the drunk was also the professional renovation crew.
You're right, but that's also subject to compute costs and time value of money. The calculus is different for companies trying to exploit language models in some way, and different for individuals like me who have to feed the family before splurging for a new GPU, or setting up servers in the cloud, when I can get better value by paying OpenAI or Claude a few dollars and use their SOTA models until those dollars run out.

FWIW, I am a strong supporter of local models, and play with them often. It's just that for practical use, the models I can run locally (RTX 4070 TI) mostly suck, and the models I could run in the cloud don't seem worth the effort (and cost).

Why the next leaps towards AGI may be "born secret"
This week a major US AI development flew under the radar - a US congressional commission, the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission (USCC) presented their annual report to congress.

Their number one recommendation was that Congress establish a "Manhattan Project-like program dedicated to racing to and acquiring an Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) capability".

There's a lot to say about this, which I cover in the piece.
That's why I'm asking to clarify what they meant. Because from observing how quickly other animals (including other apes) acquire motor skills from birth, I don't see why we should attribute walking to a practiced skill for human infants, rather than a physical sturdying of their body to sustain the activity.
I think it's like marketing any other type of software or service online - SEO, find user communities, influencers, ads/paid promotions etc etc. In my case I got lucky and impressed a tech writer who gave BrainTool a write up on ZDNet and gave me a jumpstart on the first 2K+ downloads. I wrote about the experience here:

Back in high school, I built (with some parental assistance) an apparatus to measure how quickly the pressure would drop (in a pressurized cylinder) when a very small hole allowed air to leak out.

Turns out, not only can you measure temperature that way, but can extrapolate the graph out to find absolute zero (IIRC my result was out by about 20 kelvin, which I think is pretty damn good for a high-school-garage project).

Huh, you're right. I expected 24-inch-long PCBs to be quite a bit more expensive, but even 4-layer boards at those sizes are still available at discount prices. I guess such thin boards could be used to fill in edges of mixed-order panels? It does make me wonder why they say "the array" was $700. Maybe assembly was extremely expensive

It doesn't seem they weren't really able to benefit from it all that much, though: half of them arrived defective, and they had to do quite a lot of debugging to fix them.
I was watching a German show on Amazon Prime with both German audio and subtitles. I was confused as to why on practically every line, the wording had been changed despite the meaning being similar.

I eventually figured out that the German subtitles had been machine-translated from the English subtitles!

I think among all of the explanations, hoarding behavior is easily overlooked because there's a stigma associated with it. We're drowning in stuff. I think it helps to analyze and critique why we hoard. Some examples that have been helpful to my family:

"We're saving it from the landfill." It just means your house becomes a landfill.

"We're saving it for the poor." The poor are drowning in stuff too. A lot of the stuff collected by charities goes to the landfill, either here or in third world countries.

"We're saving it for the kids." The kids are drowning in stuff too.

"But these are books." I've made peace with sending books to the landfill. And tools.

"Grandma gave it to us." She'll never know.
To be clear. A hypothetical replication system with 3 copies could be used to correct errors using majority voting.

However, there's no replication system I've ever seen (memory, local storage, or distributed storage) that detects or corrects for errors using replication because of the read amplification problem.
