What you write is theory from economic books.

Reality is that the bank just indexes your loan with inflation, so you have to pay more.

Inflation is just a hidden tax on everyone - and people should protest against it. Great way of the rich (who are heavily invested in assets, not cash) and government (who gets cash inflows from the central bank - and central bank makes money by printing money) to screw the poor.

Comically, I worked in this space and initially tried to get decision support working with data structures and code sets and such.

I ended up only really contributed adding version numbers to the pdf. So at least people knew they had the latest and same versions. And that took a year, to get versions added to guideline pdfs.
That's something that Slashdot does by limiting registrations. In contrast, by disallowing anonymous registrations (without a recommendation), Lobsters actively seeks out those who don't think differently at all, perpetuating its closed-mindedness.
Japan's really ill situated for industrial museums. Land is at premium, summer steam is brutal, disasters are routine, and public support is weak.

It's also just one of the world's best for Sony - they make a lot of bests(with many asterisks too).

One thing I only understood after I've bought a 3D printer is, someone wanting an obsolete product is weird from creator perspective. I still fully understand consumer side sentiments, and also am aware of vital importance of reference data archives, but I'd rather want audiences to seek the latest and greatest than asking me about a shelf bracket that I stopped making some time ago.

So I think it's an okay outcome. The TV lives on. Someday Sony might buy it back, or it might get transferred to some other museums. That's good enough.

The only stretch goal left is an interview with its creators or their autobiography(s). But that would be a cherry on top.
hmmm i dont know. ancient artifacts sometimes highlight the technical and artistic possibilities of the time. In my opinion this tv represents very good consumer culture in the 80s as do amphitheaters in rome and greece their consumer culture.
Yeah, this article was a bit of a surprise to me. I would have assumed Xerox at least had been out of business for ages.
The point of LLMs is they are able to make sense of the web the same way humans can (roughly speaking); so why do they get the special treatment of having direct, ad-free, plain text version of the actual info they’re looking for, while humans aren’t allowed to scroll through a salad recipe without being bombarded with 20 ads?
yo this is insane!!!
Good times Thank you
Eh? It's a carbon filter wrapped in plastic mesh, and the carbon part itself is a block that is bound together with plastics. :)

But if you want one, it is an iSpring CKC1C. Sets up quick, takes generic/COTS replacement filters.

(I used to use a Pur filter on the faucet and that also worked well, but it was filtering a lot of stuff that isn't an issue with my tap water, and the razor blade business model of vendor lock-in was more expensive to support than I preferred.)
The real problem is that the guidelines are written for humans in the first place. Workarounds like this shouldn't be needed, to go from a machine friendly layout to a human friendly one is usually quite easy.

And from what he says a decision tree isn't really the right model in the first place. What about no tree, just a heap of records in a SQL database. You do a query on the known parameters, if the response comes back with only one item in the treatment column you follow it. If it comes back with multiple items you look at what would be needed to distinguish them and do the test(s).
We don’t only play on CRTs, we just still use them in tournament formats.
If you have a $200K loan (debt) today. If you paid it off today with a $50K/year salary that would be 4 years of work. If you paid it off in 30 years, typically salaries might be be $200K/year (because of inflation) so it would only "cost" 1 year of work. You can't actually wait 30 years to pay it all off, but by drawing it out, you get some of the benefit.

My two favorite games for some time were Lego Island and Lego Loco.

Lego Loco is a city builder and railroad builder game. Something like a more basic SimCity and Railroad Tycoon crossover maybe. I really liked Lego Loco because you can build a whole city out of Lego to your own liking.

So I had Lego building in Lego Loco and I had Lego Island with all the fun stories and things you could do there, like chasing Pepper the criminal with a helicopter and using donuts and pizzas to help the police on ground and the skateboarder.
The author is proposing that the DAG representation be in addition to the PDF:

>The organizations drafting guidelines should release them in structured, machine-interpretable formats in addition to the downloadable PDFs.

My opinion: Ideally the PDF could be generated from the underlying DAG -- that would give you confidence that everything in the PDF has been captured in the DAG.

Is it a good response to the react YouTubers to make your content terrible? Or to provide something in your content not available on their?

Whether you like it or not LLMs are going to be how people explore the web. They simply work better than search engines - not least because they can quickly scan numerous sites simultaneously, consume and synthesize the content.

You can choose to sabotage your own content in a likely futile effort to make things worse for LLM users if you want - my point is just that it serves no purpose and misses out on the opportunities in front of you.

Your analogies don't quite align with this technology.

We've had exposure to propaganda and disinformation for many decades, long before the internet became their primary medium, yet people don't learn to become immune to them. They're more effective now than they've ever been, and AI tools will only make them more so. Arguing that more exposure will somehow magically solve these problems is delusional at best, and dangerous at worst.

There are other key differences from past technologies:

- Most took years to decades to develop and gain mass adoption. This time is critical for society and governments to adapt to them. This adoption rate has been accelerating, but modern AI tech development is particularly fast. Governments can barely keep up to decide how this should be regulated, let alone people. When you consider that this tech is coming from companies that pioneered the "move fast and break things" mentality, in an industry drunk on greed and hubris, it should give everyone a cause for concern.

- AI has the potential to disrupt many industries, not just one. But further than that, it raises deep existential questions about our humanity, the value of human work, how our economic and education systems are structured, etc.

These are not problems we can solve overnight. Turning a blind eye to them and vouching for less regulations and more exposure is simply irresponsible.
The ADF in general and Navy in particular is well short on numbers as it is. About 7% under strength as of January 2024.[0]

There are a lot of reasons for that, ranging from DFR rejecting excellent candidates for stupid medical "reasons" through to posting cycles that make it mostly impossible to maintain a long term relationship or raise a family.

The money is already pretty good by global standards. Pay is the least of the ADF's problems.

Lock Files Considered Harmful
Intriguing. I thought AMD GPUs didn't have tensor cores (or matrix multiplication units) like NVidia. I believe they are only dot product / fused multiply and accumulate instructions.

Are these LLMs just absurdly memory bound so it doesn't matter?
that applies specifically to this artificial problem google created to be hard for classical computers and in fact in the end it turned out it was not so much. IBM came up with a method to do what google said it would take 10.000 years on a classical computers in just 2 days. I would not be surprised if a similar reduction happened also to their second attempt if anyone was motivated enough to look at it.

In general we have thousands of optimisations problems that are hard to solve but immediate to verify.
KSP TOT looks like it does help you plan slingshots. I hadn't heard of it before.
If you had stuff that often crashed there was a write-through mode so it only did read caching. In one of the later versions it also trapped CTRL-ALT-DEL and did a sync before rebooting. It also did a sync each time command.com displayed a prompt.
Really some neat coding for its time.
> Every recursion class talks about the Fib algorithm and why it's nice with recursion.

It is nice with recursion in the sense that it's a straightforward, easy algorithm (what college CS student doesn't know basic arithmetic?) that illustrates recursion. It's also trivial to write the recursive version based on the mathematical definition.

It is not nice in that it's very slow and blows up due to the exponential growth of the recursive calls. No one outside of CS 101 or an algorithms class is going to ever write the recursive version again. But that not-nice aspect makes it nice again, because it's a good jumping off point in how to improve an algorithm's runtime by understanding its structure (the iterative version) or throwing more memory at it (the memoized version).

> But the iterative version doesn't have these stack limitations, presumably uses less memory and is just as fast.

There is no "presumably", unless you store every Fibonacci number and not just the last two, the iterative Fibonacci does use less memory than the naive recursive Fibonacci. And there's no "just as fast". The iterative Fibonacci is faster, unless you've done something horribly wrong. It runs in linear time wrt N rather than exponential. If your linear algorithm is only just as fast as an exponential one, you haven't made a linear algorithm.

> Doesn't that make it a better implementation?

Yes, obviously. Which is why after CS 101 or an algorithms class you pretty much never write anything like that except maybe as a prototype. "This recursive program follows the definition closely, but it blows up memory/time." Start there and improve is a very reasonable thing. Start there and stop is just silly.
A brief guide on avoiding this pitfall, for search engine and LLM operators:

Step 1: Punish ranking and visibility of sites whose llms.txt differs from a random sampling of actual web (HTML) content.

Step 2: There is no step 2.

Btw, this is from MLC-LLM which makes WebLLM and other good stuff.
I find the Lobsters opinion bubble to be much narrower than HN.

HN these days definitely has its share of meme bubble opinions (like reading the comments on any social media thread), but Lobsters is narrow enough that I can often predict all the comments to a post just based on reading its contents myself. This makes the site pretty boring because if it's so easily to mentally simulate the responses, I may as well just ignore the comments. Tech link aggregators usually source links from all the same places (Mastodon, Bluesky, Twitter, RSS feeds) that I already do so Lobsters' value on top is minimal.

What's the catch? People are still struggling with this a year later so I have to assume it doesn't work as well as claimed.

I'm guessing this is buggy in practice and only works for the HF models they chose to test with?

Japan’s suitability for industrial museums can be debated, but saying “summer steam is brutal, disasters are routine” as reasons is ridiculous. This is the 21st century, not the Middle Ages. Besides, Japan already has plenty of industrial museums.

So your comment is just “I don’t know how useful this new science will be”?

What separates any science from corporate R&D is basically that exact statement.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we learn more about ourselves from this research, not to mention the animals it covers.
Idea: some public interest or government library project should reach out to companies and get good source digital copies of historical manuals that no longer have commercial value.

Not just random so-so scans with OCR. Sun, HP, and IBM, for example, had good online digital copies of many manuals, including made accessible to customers. Others looked like they might've produced their manuals entirely electronically, often using well-known tools that are still available today.

Some notable companies that no longer exist were acquired by companies that still exist, and who have customers of the kind that make you retain stuff.

For example, Boeing used Apollo Domain systems, and then HP acquired them, and now maybe HPE(?) has all those assets and didn't just throw them away? (Or, for that matter, Boeing might still have a lot of Apollo Computer stuff archived itself.)

For another example, Oracle might still have all of Sun's stuff. I recall at one point the manuals looked like they came out of FrameMaker, and then Sun was pushing NeWS (building on PostScript) so maybe getting "archival" PDF today would be easy?

DEC manuals are very noteworthy, but started much earlier, and there was quite a series of acquisitions journey, but maybe some of the document source survived?

I don't know about IBM mainframe and minicomputer manuals, but IBM was great about documentation in other areas, so hopefully that isn't being lost.

Why would a launcher need to share my location with third parties?
That is wild, one would think versioning is extremely important. They tend to just put the timestamp in the filename (sometimes), which I guess is better than nothing.

Don't signed PDFs include a timestamp, however?
They don’t, but GPUs were designed for doing matrix multiplications even without the special hardware instructions for doing matrix multiplication tiles. Also, the forward pass for transformers is memory bound, and that is what does token generation.
That's a feature, not a bug. The problem here isn't the Model M (or any clicky keyboard), the problem is the open office.

I can deal with all the warts but I'm not really having a blast.
There is some basic math literacy lacking in this article.

For example, the return on paying down a mortgage with a 3% interest rate is 3%. If savings accounts are paying 4% interest, you’ll get a 1% better return by keeping your money in a savings account than by making extra payments on your mortgage.

No. If the two options are to place $1,200 in a interest account bearing 4% (compounded monthly), versus contributing an extra $100/month to a mortgage at 3%, the amount "earned" is different.

Assuming monthly compounding in both cases, in the 4% interest account case, the final balance is $1248.89, representing a net earning of $48.89 based on the compound interest formula. In the second case, one needs to use an amortization schedule and compare the difference in contributing an extra $100/month, versus not doing so. The difference isn't simply a 1% gain though, because one is paying slightly less interest on a shrinking principal over a 30 year period, versus earning 1% on a growing principal over a 30-year period.
I agree. I've been on Lobsters for a long time, and the changeover from jcs to pushcx in site ownership really changed the moderation philosophy to lean heavily on editorial control of the site's contents.

I think any community has the right to run itself how it wishes. My major frustration with Lobsters is that it doesn't call out this editorial philosophy. The UX of the site and its legacy under jcs often give the impression that it's like any other link aggregator, so I would appreciate if the guidelines clearly called out the editorial approach of moderation.

That said, I would not use the word "inbred" here. They can run their community how they like and and we can dislike it, but insulting another community is generally counterproductive and petty.
They're optimizing for quality and civility - a certain standard of intellectual and emotional maturity - rather than controversy. Vetting through personal relationships and requiring reputation risk to let someone new in is an effective way to do that. Not every platform wants or needs to be a debate club.
the question is whether that 25% jump is also because of the compromised first test.

It wasn't a "frame" really, it was just a single sheet of stamped steel in a curved shape.

The Model M wasn't nearly as impressive, or durable, as the Model F that preceded it and which was included with the IBM PC. Those keyboards had metal housings, unlike the plastic housings of the Model M.

The banks offload the obligation to Fannie Mae and collect commissions and administrative fees. With respect to mortgages, they function essentially as sales agents for the government.
Yes! That a really fun problem too -- it feels like it should be tractable but it's insanely hard. If you do start some kind of competition around it, let me know, I'd be interested.
On the contrary, quality is not intrinsic; it emerges from a healthy debate, something that isn't generally possible on Lobsters.

I just spent 3 days to statically link a third party dependency to my C++ project, in a way that works with linux/windows/macos. The package wasn't available on conan/vcpkg, it was just a github repo with a weird combination of Makefile/cmake file. While I'm far from a cmake/cpp expert, this is a non-issue with most modern languages: you just pip install, cargo add, npm install, go get etc. You can read front-to-cover books about every details of C++ semantics and it'll still be a PITA to work on real world projects
Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but isn't this exactly what the FHIR standard is meant to address?
