You're once again mischaracterizing what has been provided. The discussion talks about one line of development of one of the definitions of gender. It also provides the "gender as synonym for sex" as one of the primary definitions of gender, and yet you think that your viewpoint that it not synonymous is so unassailable that any viewpoint in contravention of it should be banned from being expressed.

Bluesky would not ban someone if they said there are 10 genders, but they will ban someone if they say there are two genders, and you see nothing wrong with that. You're engaging in mental gymnastics to justify this, and trying to equate my expression and my opinion on gender with your preference for censorship of views in contravention of yours.

The easy way to deal with this is to just treat any pointer coming from regular Go that isn't annotated as //@NotNull or something as an Option<*T> - no need to ask the user to do the conversion, the compiler can just handle this. You don't even need a different representation -- just keep the type as the pointer in compiled Go. The user will still need to do the nil check, but the compiler is enforcing it, and you can use `?` or another macro to propagate the null. It's the same with Typescript as you say, if there's some library and you're not sure if `function getThingy()` will always return `Thingy`, you can declare the type as `Thingy | undefined`; potentially you check the return value right away or you just propagate it and it's totally fine.

One more nail in the proverbial death coffin of String Theories - the M version in particular. The Inflationary Theory always was considered a hack at best and now its foundational assumptions are shaken to the core.

Undergraduate engineering students are drilled extensively on units and unit conversion exercise for a good reason; ie their designs must work in the real world. Confusing mass, energy, length and time, no matter how fancy of a mathematical theory prescribes it, is a disaster waiting to happen.

Ask HN: How to understand containerization and container orchestration?
I've progressed through Linux command line, bash scripting, and static website hosting. When I jumped into Docker and Kubernetes, I hit a learning roadblock. I'm seeking guidance on:

1. What foundational skills should I master before diving into Docker and Kubernetes?

2. What does a real DevOps engineer actually do beyond what can be learned through ChatGPT tutorials or Google copy-paste solutions?

My background is in scripting and basic server management, but the container orchestration world feels overwhelming. I want to understand the practical, day-to-day responsibilities and the genuine skills required to be an effective DevOps engineer.

Example say I want to learn jenkins, I can just google/chatgpt the pipeline and refine it for my needs. That's all. Is this devops? This doesn't sound to me like a job that will pay high in future and where your experience is valued upon.

I genuinely don't think these devops engineer will exist for a long time, not even 10 years.

The border is 5500 miles long. The reserves may be the easiest place to smuggle guns across today, and $4B worth of goods cross the border every day. That's a lot of miles to guard and trucks to inspect. If we stepped up enforcement on reserves, the smuggling would just move elsewhere.

I think that you're trying to force metro travel patterns into a normalized format for comparison with other modes that doesn't match actual usage patterns.

If we have to do that, then for my original post, the relevant factor is passenger minutes/hours travelled because the driver's cost scales with time not distance.

My cost is not proportional to either, though. If I go to my nearest station and go the next tube stop or if I go five tube stops the fare is the same. If anything it's inversely proportional e.g. the longer I spend on the train, the less I contribute to the driver's hourly wage.

The amount of time I spend and the amount of value I derive is entirely irrelevant to any of this.

I'm not especially interested in any of this beyond my original point that the cost of the driver is trivial on a per passenger basis, my back of the envelope calculation gives the same result (doesn't matter) even if you 3x or 0.33x the outcome.

"Model A 13B", "Model B 20B" etc are pretty vapid claims. Which actual models? There are plenty of terrible high-param-count models from a year or two ago. The benchmark seems meaningless without saying what models are actually being compared against... And "13B" in particular is pretty sketchy: are they comparing it against Llama 2 13B? Even an untuned Llama 3.1 8B would destroy that in any benchmark.

Smells a little grifty to me...
They need to leave after the second PIP, having passed 2 PIPs the manager bears a lot of scrutiny "are you sure they won't regress again? It has been a year and you can't make a decision"

That said I've seen in sales a person only deliver above average when on PIP, passed the PIP and immediately mentally check out then PIP again and deliver. It was pretty maddening for his boss, the person was obviously skilled/capable but just needed PIP to be motivated to actually work
As I said in a sibling comment, the fact that there are real concerns about something doesn't justify ignoring the truth value of inflammatory claims about that thing.

If one person is criticizing Big Pharma because they use shoddy trial methodology when they can get away with it and heavily market minor variations on existing drugs, and another person is criticizing Big Pharma because they're poisoning our blood with fluoride in service to the Illuminati, it's not appropriate to lump them together and say "Big Pharma's critics are in the right."

(Also, I think the idea that they deliberately adopted a weak version of the criticism to argue against is rather conspiratorial - dumb unfounded nonsense gets very popular on the internet all the time! Valuable criticism that requires nuance is memetically disfavored by comparison!)

I don't get why this question is relevant to evaluate the reasoning capacity. Gpt4o (no reasoning in an anthropomorphic sense) answers correctly

---
The reasoning lies in the concept of mass and weight. The weight of an object is determined by its mass, not its material.

1. Mass comparison:

2kg of feathers has a mass of 2 kilograms.

1kg of lead has a mass of 1 kilogram.

Since 2 kilograms is greater than 1 kilogram, the feathers are heavier.

2. Irrelevance of material:

The type of material (feathers or lead) does not change the mass measurement.

Lead is denser than feathers, so 1kg of lead takes up much less space than 2kg of feathers, but the weight is still based on the total mass.

Thus, 2kg of any substance, even something as light as feathers, is heavier than 1kg of a dense material like lead.

Even if you don't buy that LLMs and the transformer architecture in particular will lead to AGI, and then artificial super intelligence (ASI), the quest to try and make ASI is far more significant than anything that's ever come before. ASI would be the last thing that humans need to invent.

They're not baking anything in. Reasoning, as it is defined by AI marketing departments, is just beam search.
I suppose my question is pointing to another, which is: can one make an LLM that doesn't hallucinate? Isn't that problem inherent to the way that LLMs work? Obviously we can try to clean the data so there isn't any nonsense fed into it, but that'll only get you so far with a probabilistic, stochastic system. As an LLM once told me "Some experts argue that hallucination is an innate limitation of LLMs, akin to confabulation in humans, where false memories are created without the intention to deceive". I'm not sure if I believe that though.
With economics, I think we have to be careful when questioning the financial efficiency of organisations like NASA, Universities, research, and the like. Some of these things should be societal cost centers.

The question for me therefore, based on your comment, is whether Europa Clipper’s expense can be justified because it is funding the current generation of custom space vehicle and mission experts, keeping alive their traditions and skills for the next generation.

The alternative view is that it’s a waste of money to continuously support the careers of what are possibly the spaceship equivalents of wheelwrights, stable masters, and saddlers.

There’s also the time and effort that you need to invest.

You can buy a lottery ticket every week and it costs $2 (just guessing — I don’t buy them). With that minimum spending over three years, you get 150 shots. You paid $300, but no time or effort.

A typical startup takes three years, and you pay for it in both real money and opportunity cost.

Let’s say your chance of getting funded is 1:100 (assuming you don’t have an existing network). And then your chances of success are 1:30 (a more realistic figure for first-time founders than one in ten, IMO).

That means the odds are 1:3000 with great personal investment, versus the lottery where in the same timeframe you get to take 150 shots at a 1:1,000,000 chance at no personal cost.

Looking at these numbers, it does feel a lot like lottery.

Of course I’m downplaying the career growth value of a startup. You learn nothing from the lottery, but going through the startup grind offers experience that you can’t get elsewhere.

This is a bad test for reasoning. The model is either trained on the spelling of its tokens or specific words, or not. It's not a thing reasoning would help with in any way. (Ok, maybe accidentally if it tried different splits it's trained to spell, but that's not the reasoning part either)

Ask HN: Best way to nudge AI to see UI elements in a screenshot?
Hi - I am trying to create a tool for product designers to learn and review their design. What I am looking to do is to allow designers to create a design, and pass it on to a tool to get feedback. Currently OpenAI and Anthropic models aren't that great at looking at UI elements and understanding their relationship and hierarchy (like font weights, shadows, symmetry, etc..). Any suggestions on how such a problem can be solved?

Google search is no longer up to the task of making it quick on a mobile phone to find this, but the first time I read it out well was on Steve Yegge’s OG blog. I’m paraphrasing here but he basically made the point that spending your life mastering software doesn’t leave much scope for horizontal career mobility, and that getting heavily wired into a given programming language or operating system or whatever makes it existential to see it succeed. If I talk shit about a certain programming language here it’ll mobbed by people who owe their paycheck to its adoption in under an hour, please don’t make me prove that.

I appreciate that I elided a lot of the conjectures on the way from “Drepper wants static glibc not to work” to “mafia capitalist RICO shit is the upstream cause”.

Apple implemented an anti-theft system under their own control, even when shipping x86 platforms.

Any other x86 OEM could have done the same, instead of handing control to 3rd-party CompuTrace / LoJack / Absolute.

As HP says in the document at the start of this sub-thread:

If the [Absolute] product is currently enabled, the risk is someone else is in a position to lock the system, wipe the drive and/or retrieve files.

I often write threaded math but it unfortunately it doesn't compose cleanly with division :) (subtraction can be transformed into an addition without too much extra)

If you do thread-last and then need to divide by some value, you will need to write something like (* (/ 1 37)) which is ugly

I think you could actually write a fraction here, but if instead of 37 you have a binding then that doesn't work
If you like this sort of thing, there is a whole movement called “Op Art” you should check out[1]. People like Bridget Riley in particular. I saw the big Riley exhibition at the Tate in 2003 and it was fantastic. They had this enormous one-off piece that had been specifically created for this exhibition on the first wall you encountered as you went in. It was basically a massive very bright white wall with a quite spacious grid of 3/4 circles in black. The gap in each circle was rotated as you looked across and up and down the wall. It was such a perculiar optical effect it made your brain hallucinate colours and movement in this purely static, black and white piece.

I knew Bridget Riley’s work a bit before going into the exhibition because she was one of the visual artists you learn about when you study 20C music, and so I had seen a few of these op art pieces, but I never expected an illusion to work so well on such a huge scale.

It's hardly a conspiracy to suppose that media outlets choose which claims to fact check based on how they want to influence readers.
Going through poster's submissions and comments on https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=actinium226 seems like a lot of backstory just to plant a story that would do just fine as a ShowHN is they're actively involved with chara chorder, so I doubt it's a plant.
Yah, but if you needed 2 hours less of sleep, there'd still be myriad advantages.

Times when it's not possible to get enough sleep: you'd be less sleep-deprived.

And, if it's truly without negative side effects: maybe you get 20 minutes more useful time per day and increase your ratio of conscious relaxation to useful time. I'd call that a pretty big win.
Could you educate me on what is beam search ? Or link a good ressource

Depressing that this is "refreshing and exciting". Apart from the last 15 years this was the norm.
Regarding the pricing here is what I would do:

- Unlimited and free but basic metrics are public for everyone to see (similar to what Github did before)

- Paid but priced at page view consumption, for example: 12,000 page views a month will be charges 1.20 USD, 140,000 page views a month something like 5.20 USD etc...

This is something I might be willing to subscribe to.
Not 100% safe. Two issues I am aware of are the scheme for controlling user identity (if you setup something standalone and want to interoperate) and the future governance of the protocol. But I know about these because the team is quite upfront about them and there is intense scrutiny of all claims, especially by the activitypub community they effectively compete with for developer mindshare. Basically if bluesky does not deliver an open protocol the fallback is clear.

I do expect frictions to arise if others jump in and build good stuff, especially if these compete directly with whatever monetization bluesky manages to secure. The closest recent incident would be the wordpress.com vs wp engine episode.

But all these issues are a far cry from the status quo. A different page.

This has been my experience, too, as long as you don't touch it. Using the controls to skip a song has caused issues before, as well as unpausing after you've paused it for a while.

That said, most of those problems have been solved by just using ethernet instead of WiFi. Even with my access point being 1~2m away, I've had connectivity issues.
