Counterpoint: the only way to keep the standard of living increasing for the poorest Russians is war spending.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/russia-ruble-economy-putin-1.7...

… and that will be the indicator to watch. Otherwise, economic signals from the Russian people make central bank measures look Soviet, so there’s necessarily the question of collapse. But the average Russian appears willing to endure another 1998—-projecting that Putin will outlive the economy. The key will be: can Putin use his advantage with the people who control Trump to keep wild protectionist policies from depressing Asian demand for Russian oil?

It's interesting but I feel as if the discussion is a bit flawed because it feels very binary, i.e. sleep 8 hours = have 16 hours non sleep, sleep 6 hours = have 18 hours non sleep, and we assume that each hour is the same regardless, but it won't be.

It feels a bit like - well could I engineer myself to require 1500 calories a day instead of 2000. Maybe. But as a result there would definitely be some downside, maybe I'd be less physically strong, or have less endurance, or have a bit less processing power, or have to rest more, etc. If we straight up designed a more efficient body, then I'd rather keep eating 2k and be "more powerful", or maybe I'd go to 4k!

Maybe I can sleep for 2 fewer hours and retain the same or more productivity. Or maybe I could sleep for the full amount of hours but be more well rested and as a result be more productive in the awake time. That sort of thing.

Yah -- note that I didn't posit that things would be the same at the margin (120 minutes more conscious time without other downsides yields only 16% of "useful" time and assumes the rest goes to minimally useful relaxation and recreation).

> There is no free lunch.

Selective pressure and evolution are pretty good at optimizing... but not perfect. What they optimized for, also, is not quality of life in the modern world. It's likely there are a whole lot of free lunches available, or at least big wins with relatively low opportunity costs.

It's certainly not great to discard potential improvements because of an assumption that what we have must be optimum.
Starship lets you trade money and mission complexity for time. A fully refueled Starship in LEO should have around 5km/s in an expendable configuration. A gravity assist from Earth or Mars typically provides 2-5km/s. Looking at the https://www.reddit.com/r/space/comments/1ktjfi/deltav_map_of... 5km/s from LEO is barely enough to reach Jupiter. Looking at the mission trajectory direct launch would shave off roughly 2 years from 5 year mission - https://europa.nasa.gov/mission/timeline/

You could also launch much-much heavier probe with a dedicated boost stage and / or electric propulsion...

Sorry, I edited my post a bit so what you've quoted isn't there any more but I agree fully with what you're saying.

I guess what would be cool is being able to play with the sliders. People already do this in other ways, for example people at the extreme end of bodybuilding or strongman are almost certainlhy explicitly shortening their lifespans for a shorter term benefit, calorie restriction looks like it lets you go the other way, etc.

Maybe you could even fiddle and have 16 hours of sleep and overclock your brain for the other 8 being super-intelligent, lol.

And accordingly, I didn't ever say that this was a good bill or all its critics were in the wrong. A lot of people in this thread seem to be reading that into my comments, but all I did was take issue with a misrepresentation of an article that argued against a specific negative claim about the bill.

Which I think is representative - it's very hard to make a narrow point about specific arguments without people assuming that you're taking a firm stance on one side or the other of a general issue.

“50 hours of video” seems especially true for cloud certificates. Figured maybe I should finally pick up an AWS cloud cert or two and realised that video courses tend to be 40-50 hours per certificate. If you’ve already worked with AWS, or any cloud provider really, a lot of that content looks tedious.

In the end I bought a “course” that’s 6 practice exams with high quality questions and explanations of each answer. For AWS it’s been a nice approach, so far anyway, because the docs are truly vast and I probably wouldn’t have thought to read the docs for Snowmobile, which I don’t use day to day.

This gets more and more horrible the larger the code base grows and the more developers get involved.

Bitcoin is not like stocks it's more like gold or a commodity that someone has placed value in beyond its material value. When you say if you win someone else loses you need to give a concrete example of that. Because any fixed supply commodity the more in demand that commodity becomes the higher the price is. This does not necessarily mean anyone loses. If I bought Bitcoin at $1,000 or I mined a Bitcoin a long time ago and I sell it at the current rate, who exactly loses? The new owner of those coins can hold those coins and like any commodity it may go up or it may go down. So far the trend is it has gone up on average. So if the new owner holds it and sells it as a profit again who loses?

This is no different than gold. Sometimes gold goes up sometimes gold goes down, but on average it continues to go up because there is a limited supply. Markets are totally about timing. Gold is priced far above its industrial worth as a metal. Gold is priced currently where it's at because people have accepted it as a store of value. Bitcoin is priced where it's at because people have accepted it as a store of value. Like anything priced far above it's real world value.
I once saw a business proposing at a town hall near me that they would open a used ev/hybrid lot, the town was very reserved about approving the business and in the end it fell through. I love cars and tinkering with them, in my experience you can get a lot of miles out of an old car, newer technology can be daunting for old wrenches. I'm somewhere in between with my technical background. The idea of a 'kill switch' in a car is disconcerting for me, but this list gives me hope! Thanks!

And a few years later, Intel said we'd get AVX512 on everything by 2016, and that the instruction encoding supported a future extension to 1024.

And then the Skylake and Cannon Lake debacle..

First they pulled it from the consumer chips a fairly short time before launch. Then the server chips it was present in would downclock aggressively when you did use it, so you could get at best maybe 40% more performance, certainly far from the 2x+ it promised.

Ten years on and the AMD 9950X does a pretty good job with it, however.

Sleep starting late + driving to exhaustion + occasional night skipping then catchup sounds almost like DSPD:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_sleep_phase_disorder

That one sleeps 4-5h per night also sounds like one light/deep/REM sleep cycle, of which there would typically be two in an idealised 8h-ish "night".

There are hypotheses out there that a single 8h block of sleep is a myth - possibly socially induced by industrialisation and 3x8 shifts - and that waking up in the middle of these 8h is a normal thing.

"waking up" here may mean anything from near-consciousness sleep to actually waking up and possibly do shit for an hour then going back to bed; or even for some, splitting sleep in two 4-hour blocks spread around the 24h day.

In parent's post it may be that one 4h block is done, then social pressure (work/child schedules) pushes one to continue with this one-block schedule.

It may even look appealing as triggering sleep through exhaustion superficially appears to help with sleep in the short term. Long term it gets exhausting but this perceptually becomes the new normal, especially when the symptoms of this kind of sleep deprivation aren't that obviously tied to sleep habits, the naively expected ones being masked by external pressure (schedule), habit bias (normalisation of deviance through repetition), exogenic (alcohol, caffeine, nicotine) or endogenic (adrenalin, cortisol, dopamine).

The main problem is then that by the time symptoms are impacting the situation is deeply anchored; worse, because the root cause is non-obvious it is often misdiagnosed.

Don't ask me how I know.

Also, not a physician, just saying: take care.
Large models have no issues with this question at all. Even llama-70B can handle it without issues, and that is a lot smaller than GPT-4o. But for small models this is a challenging question. llama-8B gets it confidently wrong 4 out of 5 times. gemma-2-9B gets it wrong pretty much every time. quen-coder-7B can handle it, so it's not impossible. It's just uncommon for small models to reliably get this question right, which is why I find it noteworthy that this model does.
"We" may be a bit over-generalized, but mysticism and superstition are certainly essential for totalitarian ideologies.

> people even of supposedly “normal” mind are prepared to accept systems of delusions for the simple reason that it is too difficult to distinguish such systems from the equally inexorable and equally opaque one under which they actually have to live out their lives. This is pretty well reflected by astrology as well by the two brands of totalitarian states which also claim to have a key for everything, know all the answers, reduce the complex to simple and mechanical inferences, doing away with anything that is strange and unknown and at the same time fail to explain anything.

Scala would be my immediate thought. Probably also C/C++ with macros.
I believe that it absolutely can be justified for precisely the reason you state -- it keeps the experts trained so that they can as a minimum produce things like Europa Clipper. But to me that's just keeping their expertise and the potential that it offers on life support.

Having the technology and infrastructure to produce the things that they are experts at producing but in an unprecedented scale is what we need if we want them to reach their full potential.

It allows them to more rapidly iterate over design ideas by seeing what works and what doesn't. It also allows cheaper destructive testing to work out the bugs instead of waiting a decade to find out if they just wasted billions of dollars and centuries of man years with intrinsically flawed designs.

And ultimately it allows us to build modular self-assembling spacecraft on a scale that we've only dreamed of allowing them to practice their trades in new ways that will unlock new science and knowledge for the human race.
The library approach does a pretty good job in conjunction with a good compiler, and sensible algorithm design.

This is part of why it’s a bad term - its meaning is almost impossible to understand even in context because it means different things to different people and people read a lot into it. It’s kind of overloaded and seems like flamebait to me, I guess.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtue_signalling

> However, some argue that these expressions of outrage or moral alignment may reflect genuine concern, and that accusing others of virtue signalling can itself be a form of signalling. This has led to the coining of a related concept, vice signalling, which refers to the public promotion of negative or controversial views to appear tough, pragmatic, or rebellious, often for political or social capital.

I would add on and argue that using the term virtue signaling is itself an example of virtue signaling.

That's the opposite of what we see around here. Developers buy houses from the 1940 to 60's (big houses on big lots), tear them down and build an 8-pack or 6-pack (depending on lot size) of tiny townhomes.

The only people building large houses are wealthy individuals building for themselves (as opposed to a development company building to sell) because they can afford to take the potential-profit hit and just build what they want.

Is autocomplete working well?
Not much. Synchronisation of tasks is still a big overhead.

If you've got tens to hundreds of microseconds worth of workload, sure, get the GPU to do it.

But bear in mind 1000 clocks at 4GHz is 250ns, there's still a sizeable region where tight CPU/GPU integration isn't tight enough.
You can say that $2,000 for an M4 Pro is supposedly “not that expensive”, but for about $1,000 I can buy a gaming laptop with a 3090 and use the system RAM to help run larger models. The RAM may be slower, but the higher TFLOPS of the 3090 help greatly. It’s even better if we compare the Max, which as you said is more suited for LLM work, as one can then upgrade to a 4090 and still be in the clear.

The local LLM scene is definitely pricey and confusing, but making it more confusing by recommending the wrong hardware for the task doesn’t help much.

Show HN: ElasticSale – Django app for "next order coupons" in retail
Hey HN! I would like to share ElasticSale (ES), a micro-SaaS project designed to support loyalty programs for small retail businesses. ES uses “next order discount coupons” campaigns to drive new unspected sales. It includes a simple web app where store owners can create and configure campaigns, register new sales, and issue/manage coupons. Coupons are delivered via SMS using AWS SNS.

As an incidental programmer, I decided to dive into Django to build this minimum viable product (MVP), while simultaneously learning the framework. It’s been a fun and rewarding journey!

Now, I’m looking for some guinea pigs—I mean, small retail businesses—who’d like to test it out and provide feedback.

The ElasticSale is ready to deployed on Platform.sh (there is a YAML file), and the code is open-sourced under the MIT License. Feel free to test it, use it, or contribute!

On the Calculation of Volume, by Solvej Balle.

It's a septology, curiously self-published by an established author, which she started on decades ago. Books 1 through 5 are out in Danish. The main plot device is superficially reminiscent of Groundhog Day, but with a completely different execution. Starts out kind of claustrophobic, then goes through these waves of revelations and disappointment and hypothesizing and hopefulness and rebuilding. I find it hard to compare to anything.
