I think learning not to cry after every failure is an important life lesson... if crying were an impediment to success. There are many great athletes that are criers. I don't think the lesson they had to learn was not to feel bad when they lost.

Meanwhile, what did I do? I learned to stop crying by quitting Karate. I didn't actually learn to process my feelings. I just learned how to either repress them, avoid them, or lie about them.

That's not control, because all of that was accomplished subconsciously. Control relies on self-awareness. And repression isn't pleasant, certainly not in the long run.

I'm not trying to get all touchy-feely here. I think self-awareness about one's emotional state is a vital survival strategy.

+1 — cut my teeth on learning C in middle school by hacking up a DikuMUD derivative. So many great memories of that period.

And not just C but Linux (Slackware!), sockets, even kludging the single-player DOS port to be two-player by playing over a serial cable to another PC. And annoying my future Dropbox teammates by including an extra space after/before parens in function calls (and if/for/switch statements), putting { on its own line, etc as was the convention in that code base IIRC.
I'd posit that at least part of those better sources might still get some of their recommendations from a station from somewhere even if you don't realize it.
I'm afraid I can't. In very general terms, I just remember the feeling that I got several times was similar to that of discovering that something that I had thought was a scalar quantity was in fact a vector. Un-thought-of dimensions just seemed to keep popping up.

Our bafflement was probably enhanced by not noticing the "Learn to Play" booklet initially. Then each of us trying to read a separate booklet, and disagreeing with the others about how to proceed, etc.
Well, from my experience of going both seriously digital and seriously darkroom, i'd keep the two apart. Get a lovely 5x4 enlarger (or join a darkroom where one is available) and you'll enjoy making B&W prints from those negatives much more than you'll enjoy scanning them and looking at them on a screen.
Build a Personal Health and Fitness AI Agent Using Google Gemini
Show HN: Hirezen – Simplify your life as an interviewer, with support of AI
Hi HN,

We’re Egor and Slava, and we’re excited to show Hirezen (https://www.hirezen.io) – a tool to make interviewing easier, less stressful, and more effective. You can create interview plans, get guidance during interviews to stay focused on the conversation and craft thoughtful feedback.

We’ve just launched a version of Hirezen designed for individual interviewers, and we’d love for everyone to try it out and share your thoughts (including any bugs or ideas) - https://app.hirezen.io/!

Your feedback will help us improve the experience and shape the future direction.

Current features:

• Planning - create an interview plan with questions for the specific position

• Interviewing - follow the plan to keep the conversation on track and use provided signals to evaluate candidate responses

• Feedback - AI helps to summarize candidate performance and generate feedback to support your hiring decision

---

We’re also working on features for teams, such as enhanced collaboration & decision-making tools, and an AI-powered interviewer for automated screenings. If your team is interested in exploring these opportunities or piloting, we’d love to connect - hello@hirezen.io!
There are many tutorials on chatbots and Q&A systems, but creating specialized agents that can work together to solve specific problems requires a different approach.

In this tutorial, we have built a Personal Health & Fitness AI Agent that demonstrates how to create task-specific AI agents that collaborate effectively. Using Google Gemini and Phidata, we created a system where two specialized agents - one for diet and one for fitness - work together to generate personalized recommendations based on user inputs.

This app generates tailored dietary and fitness plans based on user inputs such as age, weight, height, activity level, dietary preferences, and fitness goals.

Phidata makes this multi-agent approach straightforward by providing a framework designed for building and coordinating AI agents. It handles the complexity of agent communication, memory management, and response generation, letting us focus on defining our agents' roles and behaviors.

This tutorial includes everything you'd need to build the app - the prerequisites, step-by-step code walkthrough, app demo, and even some ideas for enhancing the app further. Do check it out if you want to really build something useful with AI.
> Every time you go to sleep your consciousness shuts down.

What consciousness? Yes, I am aware that "sleep" means that a person becomes unconscious (trivially demonstrated), but that is not the same thing as "consciousness shutting down". Supposing there is such a thing as consciousness, it doesn't seem to be anything that is suspended by the sleep process. And that's also a big "if", because consciousness is just woo-woo nonsense talked about but never defined by people who haven't quite gotten over the idea that humans don't have some immaterial soul.
If I copy the contents of an Apple II disk onto my pc and try to "run" it...nothing happens. Isn't mapped to the new hardware. So who is going to write the "human mind/consciousness" emulator that will map onto a hard drive? Will they simulate all the inputs from your body, nervous system, senses, etc.?

As a casual player who was deeply invested in the Blizzard-verse me and my wife absolutely loved HOTS, regardless of timing et. al. that you mentioned.

Our problem with it ultimately became the drudgery. We wanted more game modes, some wacky whimsical arcade-like stuff. It's been a while and my memory isn't great in terms of the timeline but I think eventually they did add something like that? Can't remember but basically we gave up on the game because there was no gameplay experience diversity; stuff was more or less the same.

...and then they abandoned it... :(

HOTS is still a beautiful and well-made game though. To this day.

Until you can show me a counterexample, the null hypothesis is that intelligence requires consciousness. The two sides are not equally weighted. You need to come with something.

In your original response, you stated a reason why you disagree. And I pointed out why that reason is not good. It's so low as to not even be a threshold.

Other than that, all you've done is reiterate the disagreement.

I've given a counter-hypothetical to point out why your reasoning is flawed. I've illustrated reasons why the discussion is complicated. I'm not disagreeing with your disagreement, I'm pointing out not only why I disagree with your premise, but where I believe your premise doesn't hold.

So far, the only thing you've offered in response is "Well, maybe it's not required". Why do you believe that? Beyond, "We don't know, and I can imagine it". And even then, I'd treat your imagination with a little skepticism. Just because you can construct the sentence "AGI does not require consciousness" does not mean you can actually conceptualize what that means.

Mostly because it would require defining both AGI and consciousness in a mutually agreed upon way. And defining it in a way that would definitely include everything we accept as conscious and exclude everything we accept as lacking conscious.

The thing is that, for most of society, art exists to serve a utilitarian purpose (make us feel good/bad/inspired/destroyed/whatever other influence). Essentially just to induce a "vibe".

Nope, nothing easy. I went with HomePod Minis since we're not audiophiles and almost everything else in the house (laptops, iPads, phones) is Apple.

My only complaints are - lack of Spotify integration (you can AirPlay it, but not play it "natively") and you need an Apple Musi sub to play any alarm sound that isn't the default ear-splitting noise (it'll wake you up, but it's jarring - I prefer some "yoga" music or similar).

Sound quality is good enough for background music. If I wanted higher quality, I guess I'd get full-size HomePods.
Ask HN: Is there a good reason many product docs and blogs lack homepage links?
I seem to come across this a lot. I'll be assessing some product or service and follow a link to the documentation page, only to find there is no obvious way to get back to the actual product page to check pricing, etc. The same thing when I end up on a product's blog.

Here's an example:

I have participated in a few high-altitude balloon launches before, and those basically all have a transponder on them, as well. You have to let the FAA know the time window and get a waiver on the "launch" site, but those can be unpredictable in the atmosphere (some have limited steering of altitude), and you have a (very low) chance of getting somewhere a commercial flight might want to be.
According to the Martial Law Act, there's an extra power by the martial law commander to move the military as they want.

Some translations say "guarding martial law" instead of "precautionary":

"Once guarding martial law is declared, the martial law commander shall have authority over the administrative and judicial matters concerning the military of the area where martial law is declared."

No audio support: The models are currently trained to process and understand video content solely based on the visual information in the video. They do not possess the capability to analyze or comprehend any audio components that are present in the video.

This is blowing my mind. gemini-1.5-flash accidentally knows how to transcribe amazingly well but it is -very- hard to figure out how to use it well and now Amazon comes out with a gemini flash like model and it explicitly ignores audio. It is so clear that multi-modal audio would be easy for these models but it is like they are purposefully holding back releasing it/supporting it. This has to be a strategic decision to not attach audio. Probably because the margins on ASR are too high to strip with a cheap LLM. I can only hope Meta will drop a mult-modal audio model to force this soon.
This article [0] may help here:

Six of the sheep were given a single higher dose of ketamine, 24mg/kg. This is at the high end of the anesthetic range. Initially, the same response was seen as with a lower dose. But within two minutes of administering the drug, the brain activity of five of these six sheep stopped completely, one of them for several minutes – a phenomenon that has never been seen before.

“This wasn’t just reduced brain activity. After the high dose of ketamine the brains of these sheep completely stopped. We’ve never seen that before,” said Morton. Although the anesthetized sheep looked as though they were asleep, their brains had switched off. “A few minutes later their brains were functioning normally again – it was as though they had just been switched off and on.”

The definitions are one of the major sticking points.

We don't have good, clear definitions of either intelligence or consciousness.

They need to be generally agreeable. Include everything we accept as intelligent or conscious and exclude everything we accept as not intelligent or not conscious.

> Sooo they're finally launching a Spanner contender?

It may be even better in one important way: (if I understand correctly) for Spanner, you have to provision servers -- and keep them running. So GCP version of Spanner really makes no sense for anything that isn't huge.

This sounds more like "Spanner as a Service" -- which is something I've always wanted (for my hobby projects, no less :)

If you further develop this thought, systems might be capable enough to implant core desires into you before transferring the copy into your new body. "You'll love Coca Cola no matter what, and capitalism".

The above scenario is if you get re-implanted into a self-evolving, autonomous biological entity, unlinked again from the system. If this is not feasible and the only solution is to embed you into a robot with an uplink to the internet, because "why not?", then my biggest issue with a digital self is that there are no guarantees of having a proper firewall, which would equal to total surveillance:

It seems to me that a lot of people are forgetting that when updating to next major version of a package, breaking changes are expected - that's the whole point of major version number in SemVer [1]. What they actually want is seamless updates (or never changing APIs, but that not possible in most situations, and also not what you want as a package developer - you want to be able to correct your API design mistakes). That requires a lot of work from the package developers.

Look for example how people at Remix do it: breaking changes are hidden behind future flags [2], so you a user can turn them on one by one and adapt their code on gradually without surprises. Another solution is creating codemods for upgrades. But how many open-source package developers are willing do to this extra work?

Same story with peer dependencies - they're completely fine, if package developers know how to use them.

As always, don't be mad at React, don't curse Npm, it's not their fault. There is no great package without great effort.

[1] https://semver.org/
[2] https://remix.run/docs/en/main/guides/api-development-strate...
I agree that they'd both be you, but I don't think that's what's at stake. "You" would only get to experience one of the two lives at that point: either the original's or the robot's. Presumably whatever consciousness was present before the duplication still resides with the original.

So there's certainly an argument to be made that if someone created a copy of "you" and put it in a robot, and then destroyed your organic body, that consciousness wouldn't "move" to the robot; it would stay in the organic body and be killed. The robot would be a completely new consciousness, but with all of your memories and behaviors and attitudes.

I'm honestly not sure what I believe around this. Perhaps we will discover "consciousness" as a physical thing and learn how to transfer that as well. Or not. Who knows.
Can't wait for C.S. Lewis' That Hideous Strength to become a reality
A copy of me continuing on not knowing or caring that it's a copy of me is of little importance to me. That's not my point. My point is that I will not be continuing on. Sure, a copy that thinks it's me will, and to the world, that would be me. It would have my memories and make decisions based on those memories in a way that would be the same as I would. But that wouldn't be me, literally. My mind, my inner voice, my experience of reality through my mind's eye, would not exist. I wouldn't exist. A copy of who I was continuing on doesn't help me, literally.
You can't even become a next.js expert because it is constantly changing.

Even the devs involved don't have their heads around what they've built, considering responses in github issues.
Copying daemons (gdrcopy) is about pumping data in and out of a single card. docker-nvidia and rest of the stack is enablement for using cards.

GPU-Direct is about pumping data from storage devices to cards, esp. from high speed storage systems across networks.

MIG actually shares a single card to multiple instances, so many processes or VMs can use a single card for smaller tasks.

Nothing I have written in my previous comment is related to inter-card, inter-server communication, but all are related to disk-GPU, CPU-GPU or RAM-CPU communication.

Edit: I mean, it's not OK to talk about downvoting, and downvote as you like but, I install and enable these cards for researchers. I know what I'm installing and what it does. C'mon now. :D
And will they perfectly emulate the dynamic situation that is the brain?

You've mapped every neuron perfectly, you've even captured every ongoing signal and the whole thing is recreated perfectly. But that's not the entire story - connections are created and broken all the time, that's what memory is after all. Is it the "same person" if that snapshot is put into an emulator with slightly different results there? They clearly won't be having the same thoughts in a pretty short timescale even if the inputs are perfectly the same.

This doesn't say anything. Exactly how much have you tested and what were the results?
For very low-level stuff (e.g. embedded) you might need a lot of unsafe. For the vast majority of software it’s extremely rare. I worked full time for five years on a Rust project (https://github.com/MaterializeInc/materialize) and anecdotally, unsafe code was much less than 1% of the codebase.

Categories, numbers, logic, grammar, etc. all map onto physical systems, but aren't necessarily directly linked. This is "metaphysics" in philosophy, and is essential in order to even reason about physical systems. Just the concept of a "physical system" is actually metaphysical, but without metaphysics, you can say nothing to anyone about anything. Metaphysics is just generally taken as a "given", but is worth evaluating itself.

Then you'll run into the "realism" vs. "nominalism" debate and you'll understand the philosophical underpinnings of the current culture wars in America.
But experts aren't perfect either... I'm not sure how good of an argument this is if it just boils down to trusting a different set of experts and believing one is somehow inherently better than another? Or maybe I misunderstand.
