If you look at the "American economy" as "corporate growth and wealth", then yeah, it's doing great. Best in the world.

But if you look at it as "the economic wellbeing of the country's citizens", then it's average at best.

The second measure is the one that matters. Enough with the debunked trickle down economics bullshit.
States Ranked by Personal Freedom (2023)
A report from the premier libertarian think-tank in the US, the Cato Institute. They rank Nevada at #1 and Texas at #50 for personal freedom.

Interestingly, 7 of the top 10 are blue states or swing states and 9 of the bottom 10 are red states. This goes against the conventional wisdom that Republican-led states support personal freedom. They do perform better in the "economic freedom" index, but I found this more interesting/counter-intuitive.
"several years" is an understatement - given that carbon-14's half-life is ~5000 years, it's more like several Pluto years, not Earth years.
struct Person {
string name;
uint8_t age;
};

isn't this missing a move constructor?

Person::Person(Person&& p) : name(std::move(p.name)), age(p.age) {}

or is C++ able to make these implicitly now?
As long as you don't crack open the casing and diamond shell around the carbon-14 in order to eat it or use it as a skincare product, you'll be just fine handling the thing.

Inevitably someone will do that, but only because they've somehow avoided deleting themselves from the gene pool through any of the more available options. And even then they'll probably still manage it some other way before the carbon-14 can do its work.

Could you talk about how updates are handled? My understanding is that IVF can struggle if you're doing a lot of inserts/updates after index creation, as the data needs to be incrementally re-clustered (or the entire index needs to be rebuilt) in order to ensure the clusters continue to reflect the shape of your data?

Show HN: I built a practice planner and drill library for basketball coaches
Hi HN,

Living around a few college coaches, I discovered some common pain points around saving drills and planning+running a practice. The crossover of those pain points with youth coaches was similar.

So, I built an interactive practice planner and drill library into my indie basketball coaching app, Elite Hoops[1].

I built it around three verbs, "Plan", "Run" and "Build":

Plan Practices/Workouts/Tryouts: Use the drill library to be a source of building blocks for practices, tryouts and workouts.

Run and Share: Run practices from your phone (complete with automatic drill progression) or export plans as PDFs to share/print. Build them up from your drills, piecing them together like lego pieces.

Build Your Drill Library: I included 200+ preloaded drills, or coaches can create their own, complete with descriptions, focus areas, and videos. This was key because a lot of coaches find drills they like on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or fill-in-the-blank, but they save them all over the place. Now, they've got one spot for all of them.

For some fun technical aspects, I wrote up some SwiftUI details[2] on my own blog. And, I have the marketing post with feature details as well[3].

Anyways, I feel like basketball software usually isn't that exciting, so I'm trying to sneak into the niche with some (sigh, I know) innovative approaches. If you’re a coach or know someone who might find this useful, let me know what you think, always open to thoughts/feedback.

Thanks for checking it out!

You are really making me feel old.

That said PS1/PS2 style is pretty popular and a fantasy console in that area would be indeed great.

I just hope you mistyped because PS3 is mostly modern graphics for me. Most of the games still look good if you upscale the textures a bit.
Ask an LLM to write it?
Nonstandard analysis is the mathematical description of your special case. Same thing.
...one is a string and one is a string view?

I'm not sure what you're getting at. They're both small structs holding pointers to char data, they just operate on that data differently.
Yeah, this sort of thing is unlikely to replace lithium batteries in EVs or portable electronics (unless you want to play with more intensely radioactive materials, which is a can of worms).

The more likely use case would be for extremely long-lived stationary devices - for example, a remote monitoring system that is only accessed once every few years.
> LLMs do have actual knowledge - the knowledge that was encoded in the words in the training data. That's not how they store the data internally, but the actual knowledge comes from there.

For non-multimodal models, and minus ephemeral context and what's encoded by the architecture (like the translational invariance of CNNs), I'd agree to that.

> And I wasn't saying that that's enough. I was saying that the LLM advocates think, or at least claim, that it's enough.

Most modern LLMs like GPT-4, LLaMA-3.2, Gemini, or Claude 3.5 are already multimodal (text, images, sometimes video, sometimes audio). If you primarily just meant that's a good pathway to building richer internal world representations (and thus better at answering questions involving 3D geometry, for instance) then I'd also agree there, though I don't see why it'd be a requirement for reasoning/etc. (opposed to just beneficial).
Unemployment is different in every state and is pretty short. I know in NJ its only for 26 weeks. Plus this isn't used for retirement. Have you ever tried getting food stamps or housing. Lets just say its not very easy. Also its setup so that as soon as you start getting a little ahead its taken away. So you end up right back where you started.

If those people singlehandedly ran a division which unnecessarily harmed or killed tens of thousands of people all in the name of selfish profit while continuously two facing the entire public claiming to care about the lives of their customers, who are most likely trapped into using the companies services by monopolistic behavior created and continued by the person, then yeah.

Also, why are we so afraid that millionaires and billionaires might be a little afraid of the populace? Shouldn't they be? Shouldn't we live in a world where we care for each other and help to improve the world? Shouldn't the people that abuse that system to kill for profit be scared? I think they should be terrified, it might convince them to treat their fellow man better.

There must be real consequences. There is a group of people in America right now which can simply never face any real consequences for anything they do. They have enough money to survive being fired, they have enough lawyers to never go to jail, and if they do they'll get a cushy cell in a fed block for a year or so, followed by still having millions of dollars when they get out. What can we, as a populace, do to keep these people from destroying our society for their personal gain (deteriorating the conditions of normal life continuously will lead to revolt and unrest and destabilization). All we have is fear. That's the only option they've given us. So we should use it. Don't like it? Maybe start listening when the entire populace of the country is screaming at you every hour of every day that you're actively and intentionally killing them. It doesn't matter if it's just a system that you oversee, it's your responsibility. Your can change it, and you aren't, and we're begging you to. That state can only last so long before something breaks. The millions of furious people will not break first
I feel like when an important message comes in out of sequence, but you had already sent a response to the chat with what was visible at the time, it will be very confusing when that gets reordered.

Ex:

A@T0: User X is abusing our service, we should send them a sternly written letter.

B@T60: Yes, I'll do it right away.

C@T2 (received later): No, we should just shadowban them.

When B sent their message, their intent was clear to them. But when they review their message after C's message is received, if the display ordering is changed, the meaning of the communication has changed, and how can B show that sending the warning was reasonable when they clearly said they were going to shadowban the user. (Maybe this group should use something else with a guaranteed ordering to track abuse and response, but that's a different question)

If C's message is displayed earlier than B's in some cases and not others, that makes for a confusing situation, but each person can look at their messages and easily see what they saw when they argue about a breakdown in communication in the aftermath.
What does ‘soaring’ mean? Are economies ‘rivals’ to each other? Are we in a race? Where is the finish-line?

Thank god for this instructiveness of this headline for remediating the apparent deficency of the economics classes I took in university and in business school. /s

The business press makes me want to gag sometimes, and trims our mindset to keep us plebes in an unnecessarily competitive mindset with respect to each other. Who do you think benefits from this narrative? What are FT’s interests here? Subscriber revenue? Ad revenue? What are the interests of those stakeholders?
Sorry to be pedantic here, but terrorism has multiple definitions, all of which include the keywords 'for political goals'. This doesn't seem political to kill the person responsible for the death of one of your loved one. Sure the event itself is politic, sure it breaks the social contract, but this isn't political by itself,so it isn't terrorism.
>No, even user defined classes have to be valid after a move, because their destructor will still be run.

By "valid" I mean that you can use the object like normal; being able to destruct the object is not enough. If the destructor is unsafe to run (for example because the object ends up owning a dangling pointer) you just have an outright bug. An invalid state would be one where any further use of the object (other than destroying it) is an error.

>I'm not sure whether you're implying this is a strict requirement or just happens to be what happened in this case.

Yes, I'm saying that's what happened in that case. The string was not invalidated, it was reset.

I agree, but I guarantee that it will become dogma.

I strongly suspect that few of the originators of dogma considered their work as such.

As I have gotten older, I have learned that "It Depends" is the only true dogma for almost all aspects of my life.
> General intelligence is an ability to cope, adapt and thrive in an ecology: to start from a limited set of capabilities, and via exploration, acquire a rich competence. To develop conceptualisations, techniques of coordination and control, to form novel goals and strategies to realise them, and so on.

One thing I've learned over the past few years is that _nobody_ knows what intelligence is, and it may not even exist as a genuinely measurable attribute. What you've described is certainly _a thing_ that is worth describing and thinking about, but it doesn't encompass everything that we think of as intelligence, and ascribes intelligence to processes which most of us don't think of as intelligent (ie, evolution and plant life).

The problem we have is that for the entire history of humanity, there has been a single example of something that "thinks like us" and our conception of what it means to be "intelligent" or to have "reason" or to "think" is just inextricably tied with all the other attributes that make us human.

I'm not at all sure that intelligence _must_ arise out of a process of evolution and natural selection, and i think that it may be possible to create an intelligent entity which completely lacks the ability to survive in an ecology on its own.

On the other hand, it's often said that while humans domesticated plants and animals, those same plants and animals also domesticated _us_. Human life rearranged itself around the requirements of farming and animal husbandry, and just in terms of pure biomass and range of habitat, becoming "domesticated" was a tremendously successful evolutionary strategy for the animals that we domesticated.

Human society is now _again_ re-arranging itself in order to take advantage of AI, and we're spending a lot of money and labor building these systems and maintaining them. It's hard to say that they haven't adapted themselves to surviving in an ecology, it's just a more abstract ecology than the sort of blood and claw ecology that we evolved in.

In some sense, these AIs are the ultimate expression of "memetic evolution" -- ideas that are able to spawn new ideas, without having any meaningful embodiment at all.
> It's a weed that grows easily and is difficult to kill in the manufacturing sector.

In my experience, it seems to apply to every sector out there. I got started in a different industry than what I'm active in now, and what you describe I have seen across any type of job I've held.
After Brexit, English is as neutral of a national language for the EU as Esperanto but starts with 10,000x better adoption.
> misuses of the term "artificial intelligence."

If it's been the way the field has used it for decades, it's not really a misuse.

> that the word has been so redefined

It's not been redefined though, other than people now wanting to moan about PR and things not being "real" AI when we've had AGI as a term to use right there.

> If we want to consider even basic algorithms to be intelligence, are we boiling down the entire concept of intelligence to mathematical equations?

Massive side argument, but I think we obey physical laws and are not magical and so fundamentally I can't see another answer.
In addition to the problems from urine and feces and dead horses that other replies have covered there was also a lot of death and injuries from horse and horse-drawn vehicle accidents.

In New York City in 1900 for example the pedestrian fatality rate from horse accidents was higher than the 2003 pedestrian fatality rate from cars [1].

Here's an comment from a medical historian with similar numbers for England and Wales [2]. About 70 road traffic deaths per million population from 1901 to 1905 compared with 80-100 in the 1980s and 1990s from cars. (It is down to around 26 nowadays).

We are better at treating injuries nowadays so it is likely that had they had modern medicine circa 1900 a fair number of those fatalities would have just been serious injuries.

It's interesting how "array programming" (I think) was a sort of prediction of what we would be doing with GPUs today. (At least that's what occurred to me just now.)

Does anyone with this expertise have a sense for how APL relates to modern GPU programming? Is there an influence? Or is it a completely different model?

You are wrong here - my company can fix individual responses by adding specific targeted data for the RAG prompt. So a JIRA ticket for a wrong response can be fixed in 2 days.

You can assume what you want if it makes you feel better, but assuming that I am both seeing Grandma at 2PM and working for wages at 2PM is going to disappoint someone.

One of the ways we seem to be absolutely destroying the social fabric for younger people is by eliminating ("privatizing") every last public space and time in which they're allowed to exist without driving there and paying a fee for a structured transactional recreation. We have privatized the commons in an analogous way to the Enclosure Movement in industrializing Great Britain.

But when Ukrainian forces do the same, they're callously sacrificing the inhabitants by "using the city as a shield".

The use of "frustrated" language demonstrates no self reflection and recognition of the fact that why someone earns a low wage is because they have chosen not to improve themselves and they have a large amount of envy about other people's lives. The takers love to ignore the past and only look at this instant moment and complain about how unfair it is.

Ironically, the people who say "you're selfish and greedy if you don't give me the money you earned" and "you have no empathy" have no empathy or consideration for the people they want to take from.

I mean, I don't have access to anyone's internal brain-state other than my own, obviously, but I have had at least one coworker outright tell me that this was their mentality. This coworker made roughly the same yuppie engineer salary I did, and didn't have any familial responsibility, and flatout told me that he didn't have much interest in saving money, he likes to spend it and live for the now.

Granted, I think that this is mostly a product of the fact that he was pretty young (22 at the time), and I haven't really talked to him in 11 years, so it's very likely that he doesn't do this anymore.
Learning to consistently win nethack completely changed my intuition for low chance risk. Common actions that are 99% reliable but with serious consequences for failure are sure to be run-losing. Even something 99.9% is too dangerous to do more than a handful of times per run if you're trying to streak.

Of course you don't know these numbers directly unless you get deep into the wiki/source. But you don't know the odds when driving on a rainy night either.
I don't use these apps so maybe my solution wouldn't work, but after reading the article, it seems that having a visual indicator of messages that are new but in the past would be a reasonable solution.

Especially if there were simple controls to flip into a mode that minimizes the ones already seen (collapsed and grey for example) while highlighting all of the ones inserted in the past.

Or, if there are many messages already seen and few inserted into hist, show the inserted ones with a small sampling of the already seen (so the user can anchor to already familiar data in the timeline) along with "72 messages hidden that were previously seen" type of thing in between the inserteds to condense the view.
