Completely agree. We live in a time and world where it is extremely important that EUrope needs to have a strong defense sector. Russia won't stop just because we continue investing nothing into defense and sing kumbaya at the border.
I meant 'scale' mostly in the sense of 'complexity' (sorry!). If you only have a small number of tables you need/want this versioning for then the DIY approach is workable, but if you want to apply this across an entire schema then things can get complicated fast.
Anyone with a billion dollars only owes taxes as a result of changing how an asset is invested... which only happens because the new investment will generate more wealth after taxes than before.
My opinion as well. There is really nothing basically super special about electric vehicles. 90% is just standard commodity automotive tech.
>Maybe this is silly to you. But framing the problem as “come up with a function that looks like it adds entropy but is reversible” was a lot easier for me to think about than “preserve bijectivity between these two sets.

IMO that's half of "real work" - figuring out how to think about a problem. Insights are funny that way - stuff that is obvious to one person is game-changing to others.

You sound like one of those Malthusian cultists. :P

Fortunately for us all, Thomas Robert Malthus was wrong in 1798 or none of us would be here today. That he would continue to be wrong today should be no surprise. Relevant criticism of his rather gloomy take on population growth abounds: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malthusianism#Criticism

It seems to me like he didn't factor in the effects of the development and widespread application of new technologies to old problems.

Yes but not entirely. Yes in that if the CEO tries to sell 125B dollars of shares, the stock price will take a significant hit.

No in that this is paper wealth that you can borrow liquid cash against. Which makes a decent fraction of that wealth actually accessible (if you don't use this borrowing to just buy more shares.)
Attaching an explosive to an undersea cable requires trained divers or an ROV, plus at least a little bit of specialized equipment and a few hours to work. It can be done but it's a lot harder than just dragging an anchor.
Is back propagation really an idea applicable to the Nobel prize in physics? I mean certainly a Turing award is warranted. But back propagation or neural networks don’t really tell us anything about how the universe works. It’s an efficient optimization algorithm for a really powerful class of models.
Just a quick note for interested readers: you don't need to explicitly mark things as .PHONY in make, unless your Makefile lives next to files/folders with the same name as your targets. So unless you had some file called "install" in the same folder, you wouldn't need to have something like ".PHONY: install".

Not necessarily. You could improve efficiencies or cut other costs.

But even if it did mean prices went up... so what? That's the point of insurance. You pay in an average amount and the insurance covers you if you are on the wrong side of the cost distribution. If I am buying insurance then I want insurance. I don't want to get lower premiums by having a fun game of "maybe actually you'll not be able to get that cancer treatment" based on somebody other than my doctor deciding that I don't really need it.

Some clubs in Berlin (Germany) already do this for quite some time and the people there are all fine with it.
The vibe is just different, because the people focus more on each other or themself instead of generating content for some online profiles.
Valve Steam Link? At 4kp60 and even 1080p240?

The point is that the underlying physics of classical models should still hold true as the climate changes - and where they don't hold, we will have causal insight as to why. But this isn't necessarily true for an ML model: as climate changes and develops new patterns, there is no reason to think ML will adapt to it (and a ton of reasons to guess it won't).

I question what "it worked way better than I was hoping" means in this context. If you're saying that filtering the input data to create a uniform distribution created a uniform distribution in the output, I'm not sure why you'd hope for any less--that's exactly what I'd expect to happen. But that's a poor measure of success, because you don't know what side effects that had: the removed data ostensibly contained other variables besides your binary variable, and you don't know if those variables were sampled in any useful way, so I'd be hesitant to say this worked well without at least an attempt to measure those other variables.
I suspect the US tax system has far more smart people working on generally finding and exploiting its features and other holes and optimizations than your favorite OS or bloated web browser.

Unless your argument is that all creative writing is inspired by God, or some similar "external" source, then clearly a closed system such as "humanity" alone is capable of generating new creative works.
Something always seemed incomplete about testing models against standardized tests; I would expect AI models to first do well on standardized tests, much better than humans, but it makes me wonder if there’s something else that humans possess that isn’t tested by these tests. We test humans in these tests to, and I would guess that loosely speaking there’s a correlation between a persons success on an advanced math test or the bar and success in their career, but we also sort of know examples where there’s an appearance of an inverse correlation, people who do great as a phd student or mathlete who can’t operate in a day to day job.

So when AI companies start saying these AI are as intelligent as a PHD student, it makes me wonder, most people aren’t as smart as a phd student and yet AI still seems to choke on some basic tasks.

Even though I'm not a heavy windows user, I was really excited to see a site that nerds out on Windows-on-ARM news. Been considering getting one of the new surfaces since they were announced, and it'd be a nice community to have.

I ended up writing it off after reading, it was really disappointing to see a smooshing together of multiple LLM responses*

I love LLMs and believe people should use them for writing, but if you can't notice and edit out multiple concluding paragraphs...I certainly can't trust the instructions sets that were added, or the selection of games listed, or really anything at all.

* inter alia: two unambiguously concluding paragraphs, same # of items in bulleted lists, unnecessary 3 item bullet lists of proper nouns, that'd usually just be a phrase with commas
>everything that can potentially harm you

I'm guessing you look both ways to cross the road, so you still intervene against some things that can potentially harm you.

So we're again left to wonder, why do you draw the line (so vehemently) at these particular measures? Why are these so unduly burdensome?

Most likely it's just because they're new and unfamiliar. Or is there a deeper rationale?
The downvotes are probably because of the "Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading." guideline in the HN guidelines linked at the bottom of the page, which HN readers seem to interpret as including comments discussing flagging on submissions as well.

Nobody seems to be permitted to explain the flagging either because of the "Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, flag it. Don't feed egregious comments by replying; flag them instead. If you flag, please don't also comment that you did." guideline. Anybody who does post to explain their reasons for flagging seems to often have their comment downvoted and flagged.

I'm not arguing for or against the guidelines, just pointing them out.

The three body problem lacks a closed form solution. How does that mean it's unpredictable, though? I thought that numerical methods can be used to make n-body predictions to arbitrary precision. Are these simulations less accurate than I am thinking? How do engineers and scientists working on space probes plan their trajectories and such?
Does 70b mean there are 70 billion weights and biases in the model?
I think if you read more carefully you'll see that is not in fact what I said.
I think GPs point is if you need more horsepower you might as well get a used small form factor, and if you care about the GPIO and other interfaces you might as well get a PI 3 or 4. I get what you're saying it's a computer it could do all sorts of stuff.

I think the stronger argument/usecase is it's a drop-in replacement for the pi4. So if you're already dedicated to that form factor...

Pi 5 is still good if you want a modern, supported device to run Linux and any Linux-y things with either a small quiet fan or a passive heatsink/case. 3D Printer control, retro gaming with more grunt than Pi 4, small 'micro' server, etc.

It's in a middle ground between Pi 4 (which is cheaper and can idle a tiny bit little lower) and N100 (which is nominally more expensive—varies greatly by region, but is faster with better IO and more compatibility, though integrating with GPIO-related stuff is more annoying). The CM5 makes more sense for a lot of use-case specific purchases though, like I upgraded my Home Assistant Yellow from CM4 to CM5 and the performance difference is noticeable.

Other manufacturers make much faster (and more efficient, though similarly-priced, accounting for performance) SBCs now, but the support side (e.g. I download an image and it runs 2, 3, 5, or 10 years from now) is much worse, unless you're used to hacking on Linux kernels and following device-specific forums to resolve your issues.
I find declarative build systems end up pretty frustrating in practice. What I want from a build often isn't the artifacts, but the side effects of producing the artifacts like build output or compilation time. You get this "for free" from an imperative tool, but represents a significant feature in a declarative system that's usually implemented badly if it's implemented at all. The problem gets worse the smarter your tool is.
The overall article is ambiguous enough that yes, it can be interpreted to be in alignment with my values. But also based on my quarter century experience in both startups and Fortune 500s and the transition from the former to the latter, I would say for every engineer shooting from the hip and creating an unmaintainable mess there is an equal number who will read it as a justification for over-engineering. Also, though of course most startups fail, I would say the latter archetype fails at a higher rate because they are focused on the wrong things.

The crux is really is the nuance of this statement: "The disciplines that lead to successful software are always valid". This is tautological, everyone reads and sees what they want to see. But if we take the examples he gives, that's where judgement comes in. Double-entry bookkeeping, yes, that's pretty universal. TDD? That really depends on what you are doing and what value you get out of it. Not only do specific disciplines and practices vary based on company stage, they also vary based on the product and the goals of the business. Anyone who doesn't understand this is fucked if they try to do a startup.

And no, I am not wromg. Houston has no zoning and was able to keep growth going and build lots of new houses. Of course they did so in a flood plain. Because growth cultists are willing to sacrifice everything, even lives for growth to continue just a little longer no matter the cost.

From my perspective, Just would be more useful if it had some ability to skip steps where the input hasn't changed.

Like maybe a Justfile's recipe could produce a "<task>.complete" kind of file, and could decide whether to re-run the task based on whether the task's inputs (or its dependencies' inputs).

Also if that sounds like a useful feature, consider using Make.
Used == a whole different ball of wax.

For anyone building a little homelab or whatever, especially in the US where triple the (low) power consumption from 3 to 9W+ isn't a big deal, a used SFF/mini PC is a better value proposition. Especially if you want to add storage, 2.5 Gbps networking, etc.

But for people integrating a computer into a larger project (robotics, automation, controls, etc.), or buying a little 'IoT' device to tinker with, buying used gear that is often much larger and usually requires a large external power brick might be a turn-off.

The 1977 flu killed about 700k people, and is uncontroversially accepted to have arisen from a failed vaccine trial. I've seen legalistic attempts to define that as something other than a lab accident, but there's no question that the virus spent 1957 to 1976 in a lab freezer.

I took over a year off working on a project before I joined another company. Never made any money, but in retrospect I see that I could have made it work in 2-3 years, but the stress would have interfered. Wish I could be more chill, but money stresses me out. Getting close to do it again, but this time I'm fairly close to being financially independent at a barebones lifestyle. I mean, with 22 years of living expenses saved I should be fine right? Right? I should be able to make some money at SOME point. But the reason I have 22 years of expenses is because I'm neurotic about money...
You missed where I point out that "fatalism" is not about "fatal" (it's about "fate") and I hypothesized that this misunderstanding causes people to overlook knowledge that might guard against those superstitious beliefs. Thanks for proving my point. ;-D

If you genuinely subscribe to such fatalistic beliefs, I presume you never look both ways to cross the road? Maybe you make an exception in that case, but then why wouldn't that same logic apply to other risk mitigating behaviors? Why the special pleading?

The only rational basis is cost vs. benefit, which the article addresses. This bogus "fate vs. thwarting fate" argument is always applied inconsistently, as a way to justify preexisting personal bias.

This is still on retrospective data. The machine learning graveyard is filled with models that worked well on retrospective data, but did not hold up in a live inference setting. Just ask Zillow. The real test is whether they can predict the weather 14 days out in 2025.

I am guessing they did not want to set up the data pipeline to run inference in a live setting. But that is what I would need to see to be a true believer.

Still a cool result and article though.
