My pace is typically 35 words a day when learning languages and most people think that's insane. It's still only around 1000 a month, which is why I chose that number. That's on the order of 12k a year if you don't miss a single day, which you usually do.

The claim here is memorizing a full dictionary in 9 weeks. That has to be at least 40,000 words in 63 days. 634 words per day. And then or forgetting it.

It's beyond rare. Its alien.
Interestingly, both the model and the 2D image in the loading indicator are misgenerated in similar ways - the chain is running to the front wheel.
I can easily explain it.

One of the answers is cost. The chips in those radios lack usb. The USB-serial adapters are not cheap - 30c even for clones. So there’s 30c that can be cut from BOM. That’s huge when the radio sells for $20. You also need a little more circuitry around them (xtal,esd,caps), plus they consume non trivial amounts of power.

But wait it gets worse! Now that you have an interface you need to write code for it. Which is more work/time/aka $$$.
Nice article, you also see that in content - creators using the same hooks, transitions etc. It gets tiresome after seeing the same "stop doing X this way/try this one trick/top ten" after a while.

Besides profit motive, there are fundamental and evolutionary reasons for the convergence - humans are naturally attracted to pleasing composition and natural light in AirSpace, have our attention easily manipulated by unconventional titles etc. So companies are just exploiting our penchants and preferences.
Yes everything looks the same now. But hasn't that always been the case to a certain extent? The world is a lot smaller now and that leads to ideas spreading quickly. This doesn't necessarily mean that things stay the same though. What is in fashion changes and generally only the best of each fashion trend stays around. Where I live there are a number of old buildings with exposed timer frames. At some point, most of the town would have looked like this, but now only the finest examples remain. I'm sure the same thing is true for fields other than architecture. I'm sure the past was full of generic imitation like it is today, though just more localised.
What do you think the long tail of whales looks like? It must drop to 1000 USD pretty quick.
Ive never stayed in an airbnb that looked like any of those. Ive heard of this phenomenon but never experienced it. In the last few years ive been in airbnbs in Italy, hawaii, puerto rico, colorado, el salvador and none look like that style.

Some of this article seems to be about trends, which we always had? They come and go don't they? No ones doing barn doors anymore are they?
The question isn’t wether they want to use windows but if they’re productive using it. Unless you want to claim that a large proportion of devs isn’t productive, having a proportion of devs use windows proves that it works.
Welcome to HN! (I'm a mod here.) I'm curious—how did you find us?
> anybody telling you they know what happened before the time we had written records are selling you something.

Right, so plate tectonics didn't happen because nobody wrote it down when America and Africa gradually separated? Supernovas didn't happen in the past because even though we can see the remains, nobody wrote it down thousands of years ago? (except for when they did, as for SN 1054)
In the early 1990s, I was working on GUI email software. Not much different than the email software at university, just the pixel resolution was higher with GUI.

The dev team went out "into the field" to help roll out the software to the company. This also allowed us to see how others used the software.

At the end of the day, one of the devs reported back that one personal assistant would maximize the email app's window (back when 17" CRT monitors were large) and after each email was processed, she'd print out the email and file it the appropriate spot in a filing cabinet.

All the devs were, "But... But... she can just file the email in an email folder in the program. Why does she need hardcopy? Email was supposed to save trees!"
After a cursory reading of the blog post, it sounds like they weren't even paying attention to cloud costs and were even running a bunch of stuff they weren't using at all.

You you you I am swiping you.

That’s funny. It works fine for me. Although swiping comes out as “sweeping”.
Yeah, it’s a _really_ odd usage pattern. There are a couple of tweets not fitting this mold today, but before that it’s just a few random news articles a day, with largely useless (LLM generated?) attempts at summaries. I’d absolutely buy that it was flagged by some anti-spam ML; not knowing who he is, if I’d been shown this without context I’d have assumed it was some sort of engagement farming bot.
For the stated time frame, it's definitely as hard as you think, and then much, much, much harder.
Sad that a keyboard even needs to say that it's "privacy-conscious." What a world we've built, where one might reasonably worry that their keyboard _isn't_ private.

This is essentially exactly what Mathlib[1] is, which is Lean's database of mathematics, and which large portions of the FLT project will likely continually contribute into.

(Other theorem provers have similar libraries, e.g. Coq's is called math-comp: https://math-comp.github.io/ )
It seemed like "productive" was used in a relative sense. Would all those people be more productive on macOS or Linux? That's not clear.

Also, I thought the parent was replying to the following part, considering they said "I know plenty".

Typical example in some slavic languages: singular/plural versions of "you". In official speech one almost never says singular "you" even to a single person -- instead using honorific plural "you".

I wonder if it was probably the same in English, just at some point people became all too polite and stopped using "thou".
Maybe not, but most of them are expecting users to have English in mind to some degree, plus the top ten most used are definitely all procedural paradigm plus some encapsulation such as OOP, as opposed to something like prolog.

I thought this was true, honestly, up until I read it just now. User data is explicitly one of the 3 training sources[^1], with forced opt-ins like "feedback"[^2] lets them store & train on it for 10 years[^3], or tripping the safety classifier"[^2], lets them store & train on it for 7 years.[^3]

God, where I work makes me use a Mac.

Absolutely terrible functionally, but I'm sure it looks pretty enough to some people that the papercuts don't matter.

Even after using one at various roles over the past 10+ years or so, I'm far more productive on my Lenovo with Fedora.
Generally I feel keyboards on iOS are almost non-existent, especially combined with App Store's (lack of) discoverability. A simple search for keyboard brings up only GBoard and Microsoft's. And emoji and Unicode "fancy characters" keyboards. The only new keyboard I found today, thanks to this thread is called "AEI Keyboard".

I actually want to get around making something customisable. A keyboard that you will put whatever keys you want, wherever you want. iPhone is too small for a comfortable keyboard, otherwise.
Given the apparent technical difficulties involved in getting insight into a model’s underlying data, how would anyone ever hold them to account if they violated this policy? Real question, not a gotcha, it just seems like if corporate-backed IP holders are unable to prosecute claims against AI, it seems even more unlikely that individual paying customers would have greater success.
I think it's possible a very affordable and capable VR headset will be released (deckard?). Something with the technology of the vision pro, but competitiveness of the steam deck when it was released.
It would be a huge engineering challenge to make something like that but I think it would really rock the market.
I am very intrigued by your grinder.

How does it compare noise-wise?

You should totally send one over to James Hoffman. See what he thinks!
This is awesome (and very impressive)!

Two questions:

1. What tool was used to generate that "Ange Albertini-inspired file format diagram"?

2. Is there an emulator that would make this easy to play under Android?
>If we to wedge how Erlang does hot code swapping into a container metaphor, then to get what Erlang does, you'd need to have a container per function call.

You have a container that responds to HTPP requests sitting behind a load balancer, then you spawn a new container and tell load balancer to redirect calls to the new one. From the point of view of whoever is calling the load balancer you have hot swapping. You may even separate containers into logical groups and call it microservices architecture. Or you can define a process as something having qualified name and a mailbox and is sending messages to other processes.

Now reasonable people may disagree about what's wasteful, but the market seems to tolerate places where adding a checkbox to a form is a half a year process involving five different departments and the market can't be wrong.

Ye sorry didn't mean to come out as snarky. There is this old man that get to watch a color movie before being put to death in the movie. I didn't mean the escavator scene in some sort of meme reference. More like some slippery slope argument.
Thank you, that has been my honest take as well. My grandma went through extreme dementia/Alzheimer's while she lived with us when I was a kid. I remember being worried about her state every day when both of my parents had to work. Remember hearing her passing out in the hallway and dragging her back to her bed when I was 13, before calling my mom. Before she got into that state, she was cheerful and mentioned how she didn’t want to lose her sanity ever. The day she passed away has been ingrained deep into my memory. I would never want my children to ever experience what I have felt during those days.
I wouldn't call it delightful, but that is as it is.

Kotlin folks have prevented Java support on purpose, only to be forced to update Java support, as Android slowly started to be frozen in time, thus Kotlin losing one of its selling points, Java compatibility, with everyone on JVM world moving beyond Java 8.

Go check any recent Android conference, and most likely there will be a few talks related to Compose performance and gotchas.

In many European languages the spelling like "ton" is used for 1000kg.

It's primarily in English where there's still a need to distinguish between metric tons and older units.
Be careful assuming that the dates are correct and that the borders are drawn exactly where they should be. This map is a great guide, but don't base decisions on it.

Also many historical treaties did not define borders to the level of detail they we are used to today.
Hm. I spend most of my time in iTerm. MacOS is Unixy and cozy. WSL definitely is clumsy - actually, everything to do with containers in Windows is a pain in the ass to deal with. Run Windows in kvm, not the other way around.

Have you tried Rectangle? It's not automatic, but I find it a reasonable compromise. Last I tried, Yabai et. al. were all pretty flaky compared to proper x11 twms.

I was just wondering the other day why all espresso machines seem to have the same loud pump from the same factory. The pump is just a plastic tube, a sping, a valve and a huge coil around it that vibrates on mains 50/60Hz. Essentially a soap dispenser combined with a doorbell
> I think the author is overthinking about Tibetan to create a story.

Maybe, Maybe Not.

Because of the permeation of Buddhist philosophies throughout Tibetan Culture and the harshness of their living environment they developed a system of "Mind Training" aka "Lojong" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lojong) to train themselves to adapt using various attitudes, aphorisms, sayings etc. and expressed verbally through language. This most certainly has bled into everyday usage amongst common folk which is what i suspect the author picked up on.
It depends on which parts of math you feel are 'more real than others'.
To someone who only just has learned math, the increasing counting numbers (1, 2, 3, 466..) are all 'real things'.
But if you are very cynical about math, you might instead argue, that the only 'real' number we have, is the number '1'. All those others (2, 466..) are just "applications" of that '1'.
That is to say, we adopt the shorthand '466', because we don't want to write down almost 500 1's each time we reference it. (think of it like very bad roman numerals..)
In this perspective, where we ignore 'ordinary' numbers like 466,
you might argue that prime numbers are more real, because they really 'do' something (that is, construct composite numbers, like the example with 1 above.)

You could have a thought experiment of a world, in which we never developed arabic numerals or roman numerals, but instead did all our math directly on prime numbers. It would be a weird world, but still, you might imagine it :-)
It might be a bit more nuanced in the case of platforms like Ali Baba, that claim to not be actual resellers but only service providers to the actual seller.
I think this is something a bit different. That sort of assessment is going to find humans perform poorly in extremely sharp positions with lots of complicated lines that are difficult to evaluate. And that is certainly true. A tactical position that a computer can 'solve' in a few seconds can easily be missed by even very strong humans.

But the position Ding was in was neither sharp nor complex. A good analog to the position there is the rook + bishop v rook endgame. With perfect play that is, in most cases, a draw - and there are even formalized drawing techniques in any endgame text. But in practice it's really quite difficult, to the point that even grandmasters regularly lose it.

In those positions, on most of every move - any move is a draw. But the side with the bishop does have ways to inch up the pressure, and so the difficulty is making sure you recognize when you finally enter one of those moves where you actually need to deal with a concrete threat. The position Ding forced was very similar.

Most of every move, on every move, led to a draw - until it didn't. Gukesh had all sorts of ways to try to prod at Ding's position and make progress - prodding Ding's bishop, penetrating with his king, maneuvering his bishop to a stronger diagonal, cutting off Ding's king, and of course eventually pushing one of the pawns. He was going to be able to play for hours just constantly prodding where Ding would have stay 100% alert to when a critical threat emerges.

And this is all why Ding lost. His final mistake looks (and was) elementary, and he noticed it immediately after moving - but the reason he made that mistake is that he was thinking about how to parry the other countless dangerous threats, and he simply missed one. This is why most of everybody was shocked about Ding going for this endgame. It's just so dangerous in practical play, even if the computer can easily show you a zillion ways to draw it.
Your Thinkpad would have a free and open source BIOS/UEFI. For some, that is an improvement.
What does it have to do with anything? What I want for my future self now is obviously 1. having the choice and 2. reasonable care so that the choice isn't forced.
It improves your machine by disabling Intel Management Engine, which is a back-door in your computer.
You're getting downvoted, but honestly, I agree with you.

That said, I don't have any actual insight into the process; I was just extemporizing. So if it sounds fucked up, that's because _I_ fucked up and didn't think long enough about circumstances where someone would be approved for MAID instead of offered other solutions. It's entirely possible and indeed likely that if you can't afford medication or treatment, there's options in place to get that to you instead of approving your MAID appointment.

Please don't judge Canada too harshly just because I misspoke. =)
English weather depends on wind direction:

south-west: mild, wet
north-west: cool, wet
north-east: cold, dry
south-east: hot, dry

If you also use a simple barometer, to get pressure level (say, 4 bands) and pressure change direction (rising/falling), you can be 95% accurate.

I think it's clearly wrong to use generative AI, or any tool, to produce what are basically copies of a work, and then profit off that as if you were the original creator.

I think it's just as clearly okay to use content that other people produce as part of learning to create your own stuff.

Generative AI can be used for copyright infringement - just like any creator technology could be.
Valve is great! I love my SteamDeck. I just think it’s hilarious that the trick to making gaming on Linux possible was to use exes compiled for Windows.
Over my lifetime they seem to have both shrunk and become much more reliable so someone is iterating and improving the designs, just not at a high speed we are accustomed to in the IT world.

My dream for the power grid would be for every home connected to it to have at minimum a battery that could handle two hours of peak load. The operation and maintenance of the grid would be so much easier if parts of it could be disconnected for an hour or two when necessary. The end users wouldn't need to know a disruption even happened. Even better would be capacity for two days, but even just two hours should get us several sigma of improvement.

Considering I hadn't heard of Belle Delphine until she came up in an LTT video, I'd venture a guess that her bath water was also for nerds.
You can’t, for a single point. My argument is that you don’t have consciousness for a single point. Thoughts take time, we have streams of consciousness.

If I can determine a current point (I argue I can), with memories, then remain conscious for let’s say 2 seconds, the chance of me being a Boltzmann brain already dropped to almost 0.

At any point you could say false memories were planted, but this assumes that I am only conscious in an instant, and merely remember previous states. Both research and my own experience seem to indicate it’s not this coherent, and we have a much longer instant of consciousness or ‘moment’.

A Boltzmann brain only makes sense for particular instants thermodynamically, coherency is as good as impossible
