Yep, I've taken several three-week vacations and it's never been a problem. The main thing is just giving plenty of advance notice (and reminding people as it gets close) so my manager can schedule around it, and making sure projects are in a good state with arrangements made for anything that needs covering while I'm out.
Humans did also need fuel(wood mostly). Often this was reasonably easy to get. But still involved labour. As such storage of energy that can be released at will do have value think of coal, oil and gas. These as such are not "bullshit".

Water might be other one. But now that is cheap enough, even with desalination.
Super interesting insights, thanks! I see you are much further already in this stuff, that's amazing.

you are right the ML might be tricky, i have a very specific design in which it might simplify what it's trying to analyse, but it does raise the question if its really going to be useful to add ML into security domain. one of the first things i learned about ML is that it shouldn't be implemented within systems that are not going to handle probabilistic errors well. (if you think about billions of operations, 0.001% false positives can already kill you etc.).

in the design i am going for, each subsystem of the os has its own little 'task language', which i'd hope simplifies what the ML is operating on (separate learning per subsystem to have only a relatively small domain to operate in - memory, disk, cpu, network, etc.). the tasks would be bytecodes interpreted a bit like java. (want to randomise mapping of bytecodes -> functions each time a module starts etc)

obviously this design is kind of leaning into being slow, and performing badly, to experiment with security ideas. i tested a bunch of it in user-mode code but getting the OS infra far enough to build it on baremetal has been an infinite struggle :D

will watch your progress with keen anticipation - i think i can learn tons of it, thanks!

French consumers definitely don't maintain their lifestyle.
Not everyone can invest in the stock market… at least not in a way that is helpful. Sure, I might be able to put $20/mo in if I’m working poor and over a few years it will double if I’m lucky.

$4/he starting wage makes you around my parents age (50+) so I’m guessing you easily earn six figures now since you hang out on HN. The crowd here does not represent poor people very well (which is fine!) but you can’t extrapolate your experience to everyone. Yea the stock market is great, but it says nothing about the single mom working two jobs to put food on the table with no energy left to tinker with ETFs.
Common misconception. Poverty levels were far higher. In 1950 half the global population lived in abject poverty. Today, it's less than 10%.

On office desks there were "In" boxes and "Out" boxes. You do not put "imagination" in "Out" boxes. What is put in "Out" boxes must be checked and stamped.

"Imagination" stays on the desk. You "imagine" that a plane could have eight wings, then you check if it is a good idea, and only then the output is decided.
Yes, however Sumer were unique in hitting upon the idea of glyphs representing sounds, rather than ideograms, which seem to develop fairly frequently and independently. It did take the better part of 1500 years for them to make that breakthrough, but the result was enormous, and allowed the storage and transmission of information with much greater efficiency and nuance.
Thanks. I posted this from mobile while traveling and the line breaks didn't carry over when I copied and pasted it.

A dataset that’s 2 years old is worse than one that’s 20 years old even if it contains the same data.

Even facts age. In 2004, Pluto was still classified as a planet. Not such a big deal on its own, but stale data gets a little bit worse every day.

Economists, and pharma lobbyists, argue against US drug price regulation because new drugs produce large positive externalities.

I think it's a mix of pharma lobbying and also altruism. Pharma lobbies Congress to do the altruistic thing, and many Congresspeople agree, because they believe in markets and understand incentives.
The problem is that those riches and success is just on paper. They are projections and IOUs.

It's like the property market, if everyone has so much money the number of people who can live in Malibu doesn't actually go up. Just the prices of homes in Malibu go up.

No matter what the numbers in the bank account says, the number of people who can get the good stuff will be limited to the actual infrastructure and actual production output. If Americans get even richer, it will simply mean that more millionaires will room share in SV.

EU and Japan, largely cited as economical failure, happen to provide just as good or even better living conditions to their citizens because their infrastructure and actual production output is as good or better than the US.
>It should become clear to everyone that reads his work that "management theorist" Stafford Beer can best be characterized without any doubt whatsoever as a charlatan.

Yep.

Over the years I've found a few litmus tests for that sort of thing. Unclear or incomplete explanations; intentional vagueness, weird formatting, "meta" anything, "new language", incomprehensible diagrams. One or two and you're Stephen Wolfram; three or more and you're completely full of shit. Beer's book somehow manages to hit every single one in just a single page. Incredible!

If you claim something grand but can't explain your point clearly, you are almost always full of shit. If Susskind can explain the combined work of centuries of geniuses in The Theoretical Minimum, then you can explain your bullshit in a paragraph.
It seems to be this approach (using AI to identify symbols on old maps) would be useless in finding old shafts in Australia as such things pepper the landscape in various regions (eg: the Kalgoorlie goldfields) but the majority were rarely marked on a map beyond the obvious lease records that exist that probably had shafts somewhere within the lease pegs.

A better approach would be to tune an "AI" or rather an adaptive Kalman filter variation to highlight probable shafts from airborne EM and|or ground ERT surveys:

FM/PM synthesis makes no "logical sense"... until you spend the twenty minutes required to understand it.

Really people gave up on the DX7 because of the limited interface, somehow FM got the blame. A subtractive synth with a knob for each function is a fantastically intuitive thing, but when it's three buttons and a line of abbrv txt it's not very nice either.
And sometimes the reason you don’t feel fine end up being anxiety, and reframing your experience can make the problem go away. I visited the emergency room with chest pains several times before it actually sunk in that it was my neuroticism getting the better of me

In the US, look at how sentiments about the economy shift depending on party affiliation and who happens to be in power at the time. I do not think it’s as straightforward as saying ”if people think things are worse than they used to be, they definitely are”. There are way too many variables affecting people’s subjective experience

Doesn’t seem remotely possible that this is true.
Slower languages are higher level thus easier to use.
There's no easy way to index ColBert multi-vectors in a scalable way that I know of. Vespa seems to rely heavily on binary quantization, which can cost a lot in recall loss. And for most cases, using ColBert as a reranker is good enough, as the pgvector example you posted.
> The DX7 might be the best selling synth of all time

They were, for a long time, but the figure I've seen is something like 100k for the original model. The market is so much bigger now I don't really believe it's true anymore.
Hmm, since it runs in the browser, I wonder why they didn't put it on github pages (github.io)?

Or to put it differently, if I need to compile it first, what is the advantage over the desktop version?

Unemployment is low, labor force participation is high. We do not currently have an excess of labor, and a good deal of the reason that we had inflation was that there was no pool of waiting labor to soak up money injected into the economy during covid -- so instead that money bid up prices.
Brian Eno, of course, insisted that the problem with the DX7 was entirely the fault of the UI. He had a custom controller made, although I can’t find a photo of it. These days, the DT-7 attempts to emulate it.

Edit: It wasn't a custom controller, image in reply.
Late to the party but congrats on the release and thanks for all the work everyone put into Liveview, its truly a marvel.
Singapore also has the advantage of being a significant financial hub. But that only works when being small, it doesn’t scale to something like the EU.
If you visit Mexico, they certainly are. I'm not sure if they might be higher close to the U.S border (a common tendency for many products and services in Mexico, I suspect because of higher demand from American visitors) but anyone visiting any private clinic wherever in the country can simply pay for services at the same price charged to any local. These prices are often posted on CLINIC websites or publicity material, so it's usually easy to know if they're honestly being applied.

As for the quality of doctors and the authenticity of medicine in reputable private clinics, in my experience problems are exceptionally rare, Though language barrier might be an issue in some cases.

Not promoting anything specific here either, just describing personal experience from years of living here (and sometimes having needed medical services or medicines)
Very good point because in my country elder care is free. Daily visits by an assistant is on the municipality. We're not a leader in GDP, but we take care of our citizens, whether they be sick or old.
It is really negative sum game. As there is constant drain from mining, in buying and then operating equipment. Lot of that is not recovable and do not actually improve anything.
Advanced written literacy, as with advanced computer literacy and numeracy is generally far more limited than many people would think. I've been aware of this for some years now by way of both OECD studies on general computer literacy (find-and-replace functions are usable to perhaps 5--10% of the adult population) and US studies on adult literacy.

I've posted the latter to HN a few times, the one time that took traction was about three years ago, on 31 Dec 2021: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29734146>

It's based on "Adult Literacy in the United States" (2019), through the US Department of Education (one of the US federal agencies likely to be on the chopping block):

<https://nces.ed.gov/pubs2019/2019179/index.asp>

The OECD study is here: <https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/education/skills-matter_978926...>

I'd made a couple of explanatory comments in the earlier discussion about elements of this (and related studies) which I find highly illuminating, including suggestions that at least at the margin (and perhaps far more deeply) overall literacy and lifetime attainment are relatively insensitive to educational opportunities. (Both individuals and countries as a whole show ... counterintuitive ... behaviours.) I tend to suspect both innate and other environmental factors (overall stimulation, pollution and experiential degredation of potential, etc.). I'll hasten to mention that the innate capabilities seem to apply to individuals rather than populations, as high- and low-achievers can be found widely.

TFA's UNESCO study does suggest strong regional variance, however...

here is my alternative system: https://www.swyx.io/documentation-levels

i find that the divio/diataxis 2x2 can be -too- complete, which is harmful for earlier stage, less mature open source projects, and also equal weights areas that nobody equal weights in real life.

my system takes inspiration from real docs and creates a progression based on project maturity, aka prioritizing just the important stuff at the early stages.

- *Level 0: Basic proof of concept*

- _Example audience: you/colleagues/hobbyists_

- One sentence description for github headline

- README with API docs - goal is to save yourself from looking at source code

- *Level 1: v0.x*

- _Example audience: greenfield early adopters. Ok with missing documentation, they are here for the idea. can contribute code/docs_

- One paragraph description with more context - could be a sales pitch but also give an idea of when to use you

- Feature list/Project Goals

- Install + Config Instructions

- *Level 2: v1*

- _Example audience: brownfield early adopters. Ok with bugs, they have some problem that isnt well addressed. Needs convincing._

- Comparison vs comparable libraries

- Problem Statement - what you solve, how the developer/end user is better off with your thing than handwritten. aka Why You Exist

- Basic Examples

- Live Demos

- *Level 3: vX*

- _Example audience: early majority user. Wants ease of use, quick wins. Need to be very reliable. Needs content to sell solution to team_

- Project Status badges

- Tutorial

- Third Party Plugins/Libraries

- How-To Guide/Cookbook/Recipes

- User/Maintainer Content
- Official Blog/Project and Meeting Notes
- Talks
- 3rd Party Blogs
- Video Tutorials
- Podcasts

- Comprehensive Examples

- *Level 4: Production use for multiple years*

- _Example audience: expert user. Needs API stability/migration instructions, deep insight on how the project works and how it can solve problems. Needs to customize/adapt for at-scale/weird usecases_

- Growing the MetaLanguage

- Origin Story/Naming

- Who Uses Us
- Logos
- Quotes/endorsements/testimonials
- Link to production use

- Funding

- Migration docs from previous versions

- Roadmap

- Reader-friendly Changelog

- Anti-Docs

- Helping Contributors

- _Example audience: Industry beginner. They may not know any alternatives. You are the entire world to them._

- Explain acronyms, jargon

- "1 to N" Docs

- Different docs for different audiences (eg JS/Android/iOS)

- Different languages

- Examples
- [Vue](https://vuejs.org/)
- [Django](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/) - some [meta thoughts here](https://jacobian.org/2009/nov/10/what-to-write/)
- [React](https://reactjs.org)

Oasis is playable so therefore:

1. Non-cherrypicked in its consistency (if you look at the demonstrations in the Oasis blog post you can find specific cases of consistency which is an anomaly rather than the norm)

2. Is live-inferenced at 20fps. If you use Runway v3 which is a comparably larger and higher quality model (resolution and consistency) it might take a minute or two generate 10 seconds of video.

3. Is served (relatively) reliably at consumer scale (with queues of 5-10k concurrent players) which means that in order to save on GPU cost, you increase batch size and decrease model size to “fit” more players in 1 GPU.
> I’m not that impressed with Diataxis, considering it is basically describing the approach of Django project’s docs

I worked on Django documentation and Diátaxis at the same time, so naturally you will see a lot of the same patterns.
I got something like 30k XRP for free. Then I traded that for one BTC and got 300. I could now have 100k, but oh well I never was true believer. And I am still too sceptical even with stock market...
Lots of inherent contradictions. Most obviously, they are against censorship, but they also want to suppress disinformation. How many times has "disinformation" turned out to be true? NSA really was spying on US citizens. Covid probably really was a lab accident. Etc.

Perhaps more to the point: Given that Google has long since given up on "don't be evil", who trusts them to "internet and society stronger and safer for everyone"? I certainly don't...
> All names are ultimately arbitrary and made-up.

You could say that all of human experience is arbitrary and all ideas are made up...

The difference between arbitrary and non-arbitrary in this respect is whether someone who speaks the language and has a general relevant technical background would understand what the name means, in principle, or not. If the developer makes up something arbitrary themselves, then they would understand it, and so would one or two people who review the code or interact with it. Anyone else coming onto the scene would _not_ understand what that's about. You would end up with a glossary of bespoke terms not known to anybody else in the world. Now just think what were to happen if each repository of code had its own glossary of this kind. (shivers)

That's extremely debatable.
100% agreed, especially when you print money the GDP is evaluated in, there's no ceiling! What can be bought for money and in what quality, that's a different story... Purchasing Power of Money is what really matters. It's still good in some European countries, but with the current policies, EU has set itself up for times of poverty.

Q: What's "Hylo"? Should I have heard of it?

> So apparently, move does not prevent generation of a copy, but the empty string instead of expected text “Dave” is very interesting. Apparently, after termination of show after the move, the object is invalidated. This does not affect the Person object, but only the string object.

This is a shallow understanding of C++. It happens because the Person object is a POD type that doesn't define a move constructor, and the compiler creates a default one that calls the move constructors of the members. The string member has a well-defined move constructor, but the primitive uint8_t type doesn't.
11 years ago I sold 100 BTC, and made pretty good money.

With that said, the more I think about BTC, the less sense it makes to me. Exceedingly few people actually use it for anything practical. The “store of value” functionality has completely eclipsed the practical use that Bitcoin maxis were preaching back then.

Since 2016-2017, it seems like people have bought it for the sole purpose of seeing someone else pay more for it.

It will never become some “universal” currency that overtakes national fiats. Right now it seems like people are only hoping for governments to hoard up BTC, to moon the price and provide exit liquidity for early holders - which IMO would be reckless spending.

It is the ultimate make-believe asset.

Edit: also, when I ran the numbers, I figured a realistic max value for 1 BTC would be 500k-1M. So the big money has been made, imo.
Research disagrees with you. Memorizing vocabulary list is one of the most efficient use of time for learning a language. Sure it's not sufficient alone, and not fun but it works. It's especially useful at the start when learning even a few hundred words makes a huge difference.

This one seems to only start streaming the binlog after the initial snapshot is imported which makes me wonder if it will miss things.

not op but i think the climate catastrophe will curb population extensively. on the one hand by simply killing a lot of people directly (mostly war, famine and displacement), on the other hand by reducing birth rates (i.e. people not wanting to have children when there's not hope for the future).
