Hi there itchyouch, I appreciate your reply to my comment and the accompanying document you created: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42379299

Updated my email in my bio, and also you don't have an email address in your bio. I see you also are interested on ADHD. I also was diagnosed with adult ADHD relatively recently. I'm in the process of finding what works for me. I'm interested in your supplement-based approach. I mostly overlooked it till now, basing my treatment approach mostly on the last ADDitude survey (https://www.additudemag.com/adhd-treatments-scorecard-medica...)

> Meds like adderall or provigil tend to be demanding on the brain neurochemistry, so supporting the biochemistry becomes an important part of the strategy, rather than continually going back to the doctor to bump up the dose.

Can you explain what you mean by this? Do the meds lead to overconsumption of scarce chemical resources in the brain?

I'd be glad if we could get in touch via email.
Honed time management skills and being very good at math. It was not easy. I have written about this but do not want to say where as to not dox myself to the group. but if you provide an email, im happy to chat with you.
Depends on your car but you don't need to jack it up for oil. I do it whereever its parked. I've done it on the side of the road when I had to park it there before.
Congrats on V1. Could you please provide more details behind service? How does it work? What is the most unique feature comparing to other ai search engines?
How to tune your DL models?

It goes from 0 all the way up to A*, then beyond. I think the new stuff is based on https://www.cs.tau.ac.il/~haimk/papers/sp-wea.pdf but I'm not sure since the paper isn't explicitly named in the video.
Exactly! I expect that some are able to put it to good use. I am not one of those people.

My experiences with ChatGPT and Gemini have included lots of confident but wrong answers, eg “What castle was built at the highest altitude”. Thats what gives me pause.

Gemini spits out a great 2D A* implementation no problem. That is awesome. Actually, contrary to my original comment, I probably will use AI for that sort of thing going forward.

Despite that, I don’t want it in my IDE. Maybe I’m just a bit of a Luddite.
One thing 7-11s have started stocking in recent years is packaged hard boiled eggs. The price is insane if you compare it to boiling your own, and they are a bit tasteless, but you don't have to peel them and the price is reasonable compared to other stuff there if you're stuck eating lunch from 7-11.
Except that it would be way better if it wasn't arbitrarily limited to a tiny column. I have a large screen, use it please. Don't make me dig into the developer console to undo your fixed width in order to have a pleasant reading experience.
After learning how bad people who know a little microeconomics are at noticing or accepting it when their "explanations" diverge grossly and repeatedly from what happens in reality, it can be hard to take them seriously.

If you imagine therapy as a way to condition some sort of gradient descent on emotions and awareness you can already see the problem.

The implication of your statement is you eventually reach some global optima. The reality is you become over-aware of some things and under-aware of others. This is the local optima and you've been caught in a bowl. Therapy "works" when your local optima is "good enough" for your own definition of done. However, it can often take several "bumps" out of those local optima to find it and once again you haven't really "optimized" like you are implying.

I would think the focus on optimization of emotional and awareness skills would simply lead to more, not less, anxiety. It sounds like the same problem people have with always being online and being a good "global citizen". In this example, like your example, when you feed your learning algorithm data about some war in a far off land you necessarily reduce the weight on your immediate surroundings.

Therefore, I believe it's impossible to "optimize" such things without making significant learning losses. Better to succumb to the brownian motion of life - imo.

The rate of improvement in the models is nothing short of phenomenal, but the applications are meh at best, even after a few years of billions of dollars and endless hours poured by the world's best product and engineering minds. Every AI leader is pushing "agentic AI" as the next big thing but as a specialist in business automation I have my reservations. A lot of problems in automation in business happen because of insufficient investment in IT but can be solved fairly economically by off-the-shelf software, Zapier, a custom web service, or traditional ML techniques in order of complexity. Out of the more difficult problems that remain at the edges, only a small fraction can be solved by LLMs in my experience. The idea that chains of small agents will be composed and generally applied to any business problem under the sun doesn't sound right to me. I think not even the big bosses in AI know at present, but they're surely betting the house on it, and if the bet doesn't play out, things will start looking even more desperate.
NESfab – Programming language that targets the Nintendo Entertainment System
It would do just fine - but that's because OP is essentially grabbing on the intuition behind Visibility Graph search, which is (or was) a very common path planning algorithm using just obstacle boundaries.

The algorithm in a maze would just use "intersections" as successors, rather than "Next next step down the hall".

This is, in fact, an optimal search algorithm for this problem, and scales much better than any grid search in this case.
That is the easiest step among the pile of very easy steps.
Really?
I thought it was salad’s fault.
Claude Plays GeoGuessr
PH is ample US/PH propaganda that PRC is not in compliance with UNCLOS when PRC is in compliance, just pushing the extremes of lawfare technicality - the best type of legal technicality.

PH vs PCR ruling is not valid international law (as in at UN/CLOS). It's propaganda written on nice rented PCA stationary - a bunch of US/PH aligned experts ad hoc legal interpretation against PRC that is NOT formally accepted by UN, hence not accepted by UNCLOS/ICJ/ITLOS, much less because PRC not subject to optional arbituation clause no matter how much US propaganda screams she is. Don't get me wrong, it's very sensible legal position, but it's not formally accepted, and has the legal weight of me writing, the opposite position on toilet paper. Until there is formal UNCLOS/ITLOS ruling against PRC (like they did against UK hence US/Diego Garcia for Chagos), PRC is legally compliant with UNCLOS.

AKA PH vs PRC is the US led "rule-based-order" interpretation of UNCLOS (which we all know US hasn't ratified) which of course PRC is not obliged to follow, not actual UN "international law" that PRC has at least in propaganda accept as valid arbiter (if only because currently, UN reality has a PRC bias). In case of TW where PRC can, under international law, resolve TW kinetically by resuming legally ongoing civil war. Ultimately, of course, Beijing is not bound by (and should be not bound by) by non-UN rule-based / LIOrder, and even if she were, her behaviour would be acceptable considering US response to Chagos ruling, which let's be honest, one set of rules of you/me is the reasons why the rules-based order is breaking.

But circling back to TW, yes, PRC wouldn't give a care about any international law when it comes to "reunification", hence the dynamic between TW/PRC is a pure power game. It just so happens international law is on PRC side in TW scenarios.
Having had real conversations with company leadership about "the board being concerned about engineer salaries being above industry norms" despite "having the highest revenue per engineer in their portfolio" I can... anecdotally confirm.

Why sell more when you can sell less for more
You're all very likely correct, but given the timing, it's hard to assume good intent on Meta's part. This same week, they've "donated" $1 million to Trump's "inauguration fund," and added strong Trump ally to Meta's board. Significant changes to moderation might be good or might be bad, but given the other news, only the truly ingenuous would trust that it's intended to improve things.

Same thing with when Bezos declared that the Washington Post would no longer be endorsing presidential candidates, claiming that it was a neutral decision about returning the paper to its roots with unfortunate but coincidental timing. Despite that potentially being a reasonable decision in a vacuum, only an idiot would have believed that Bezos was being honest about his motivation.
Sure, and plenty of lawyers love putting their head in the sand and relying on the principle that in the US legal system, everyone is entitled to a good legal defense.
Can you add the rule:

I just find screen space effects a bit jarring
I don't even understand the scenario you're talking about now -- are you referring to a delivery driver that would be driving their personal vehicle to work in the congestion zone? And then getting on a delivery truck, which would then need to exit the congestion zone and re-enter in order to itself be charged a fee?

How many people do you think the scenario above applies to, in the real world?
Have you ever actually tried this stuff instead of supposing things and writing about it as a fact online? I just take it to autozone and they don't ask questions or need to file anything, or even really ask me anything about the oil I brought in. Some people don't even go that far and just leave a used jug outside the autozone (bad practice as it could spill and is rude to the workers).
Funnily enough, the AI on my phone gives better answers to hard questions about astrophysics than the basic word puzzles you mention. It's just a different kind of intelligence, I guess. I'm not asking it to do the calculations, I'm asking it to give me the formula and prove it's correct. The rest will come soon.
They may well be good films. I am just tired of sequels.

I am happy, for example, that Pixar created the original "Inside Out" rather than "Up 2".

And so we are in a situation where we don't know in fact what new, original film they didn't make.

Oh well. I guess that's what we can like about indie films.
I play roguelikes too

I think you read into the article some things that weren’t there. The question from the colleague was why I was even interested in learning something we all knew (me included!) we wouldn’t use there. At no point did I propose using Rust at that .NET shop! The whole point was that I was curious about and enthusiastically learning—on the side, on my own time!—a technology that was totally unrelated to my job. Pretty sure the closest that shop ever got to Rust was when I shared interesting bits about it in the company’s wide-open tech talk series, but that series also included folks sharing things like “this cool thing I did with a Raspberry Pi” and “look at what cool hacks you can do with Amazon Alexa” and so on. Long story short, you’re not even responding to what I actually wrote, but to something else that you (probably for good reasons in your own experience) get button-mashed by! (Me too, for what it’s worth!)
I've been accused of having "pathological empathy" before [1], and to this day I refuse to accept that empathy is a weakness.

Being able to fairly easily put myself in someone else's shoes is pretty much the only thing I actually like about myself. I feel like part of what defines us as a species is learning how to understand people who do not deserve us to understand them.

In 2023 my iPhone was stolen (story is parent to the linked comment). They eventually caught the kid who stole the phone, and I refused to press charges. Pretty much everyone thought I was dumb for doing that, but I didn't see it that way; I didn't see any good coming from throwing a 17 year old kid into jail, and I remember how stupid I was when I was 17.

I doubt he's going to have some Les Misérables moment and turn his life around, but I would hope that if I were caught for something stupid when I was 17 someone else would have extended me the same benefit of the doubt. I don't regret it.

You can also count the Holy Roman Empire that was dissolved in 1806.
> And yet, it's also unclear if any other course of action would help. Despite decades of pleading, the trolls never starve no matter how little they're fed.

Downvotes that hide posts below a certain threshold have always seemed like the best approach to me. Of course it also allows groups to silence views.
Places accept oil for free all over the place. Its not a huge pain at all.
Ah yes, because there is a legal document disclaiming any liability, no one would be reasonable when inferring any.

Also, lol at the underqualified jury comment. It's a bit telling on your part. Juries are inherently underqualified? No, sounds like a corporation that doesn't want to face the extreme financial risk that occurs when they face judgment for their conduct.
> a CT log failure earlier this year due to MariaDB corruption after disk space exhaustion provided the motivation for a change.
Think of it as a fantasy console, like pico-8 which despite the extreme restrictions is home to some incredible content that of which exceeds many big studio engines. The imposed ceiling now allows a solo dev or a team to now concentrate on delivering gameplay and vivacious content instead of graphical gimmicks which eat resources both for the consumers and creators.

Nobody argues that FTL, Minecraft, baba is you, Stardew valley, RuneScape, or dwarf fortress are not a high enough resolution.
so, where is the "about lexy" info?

Isn’t this simply a way for Meta to save money?

Added benefit is, I think, that users who feel they can influence this process of fact checking, feel better about the fairness of the outcome too?
> of course it does.

i should clarify a bit, that this can still freeze your UI if foo() is expensive, since the microtask still runs on the same event loop. my point is that you cannot always throw async in front of a function and not change any other code.
In Germany, that would be quarter 7, which means either the quarter in the 7th hour or the 7th time that a quarter has passed since the hour, which is of course that same. (Unless you are in a part, that got conquered by the US after 2WW, which now uses "English time".)
Yea and? The government isn’t the people, they want things to look as rosy as possible, every one of them. The people’s definition for unemployment is you’d want to work but you can’t find a job. Your definition is just appealing to authority.
Very true and prescient. All of the technological growth of the last two decades has only been possible because of peace and cooperation between the Core Countries, but that world is as its most unstable point in decades and future peace is not guaranteed. As impressive as LLMs can be, a computer still loses to a crude home-made bomb.

Right. I made a reference to educational development being retarded due to COVID restrictions and the very people you'd expect to be offended were of course offended.
And yet here you are discussing a thread where Elon is at least joking about using a weird Stanning account as a sock puppet, or even worse, admitting actually using this sock puppet account to weirdly Stan for himself. This behavior definitely screams honesty and maturity.
That the industrial working class would come to compose the supermajority of society? That history was driven by a Hegelian dialectical structure which would guarantee that something like the attempted German Revolution would succeed?
nowadays it feels like plans "how to invade Canada" no longer feel so hilarious :(
I went little further. I could not find low or no sugar Nestle cereals at the local supermarket, then I asked their support if they have something with low sugar. Their rep wrote that they have lowered the sugar amount by 34% from 2000 to 2010, but it is still not clear if those amount are OK, when I taste the sugar amount is definitely high. I do think the government should step in and promote healthy food and habits
> You won't be able to source any kind of protocol translation chip

I think many of those chips are simple off-the-shelf parts. Probably you would need special licenses only to decode HDCP.

If you have an FPGA, you could even create valid Ethernet frames and send the data / video stream over any standard switch / media converter as long as you have enough bandwidth and no packet loss. (10G would be enough for FullHD and 25G for 4K if you make it a bit smarter and can strip the blanking interval.)
> America is tending towards an oligarchic system. (This is a history of weak democracies, historically, and a reason we were founded as a republic and not pure democracy.) That doesn't prove it currently is one

Maybe that doesn't. But this study does:

> Princeton University study: Public opinion has “near-zero” impact on U.S. law.

> One thing that does have an influence? Money. While the opinions of the bottom 90% of income earners in America have a “statistically non-significant impact,” economic elites, business interests, and people who can afford lobbyists still carry major influence

Source: https://act.represent.us/sign/problempoll-fba

The study is from 2004. I'd say things have gotten a lot more "oligarchic" in the last 20 years, and seems like it might get even worse in the next few years
I've only ever seen it used to mean "delay" in occasional technical contexts, e.g. "fire retardant material", in practice it seems to be mostly a noun that means "stupid person".
That's how I do it on my vehicle, no lift no ramps. I just slide under on my back and everything is very accessible. Toyota still doing something right I guess.
You're correct that the talk-sets have to plug into the ends.

However, there's directional indicators that just clamp onto the middle of a fiber. They bend it a little and sample the light that leaks out of the bend, without interrupting payload traffic. The first one I used back in the day was an Exfo but there are tons of 'em now.

As far as I know, these are receive-only, though physics doesn't seem to prohibit launching light into the fiber this way, it would just be an extremely inefficient process.

There isn't enough light leaking out to reconstruct the whole high-bit-rate signal (as far as I know), but there's enough to tell whether the light is flowing one way or the other, or both. And there's enough to tell whether it's modulated with a low frequency signal -- most optical test sets can generate a simple "tone", typically 270 Hz, 330 Hz, 1 kHz, or 2 kHz, and the clamp testers can tell if and which tone is present.

It's ironic considering how dependent LLMs are for search engines.

I doubt they're "ending", rather they will need to be re-born for RAG purposes.
I mean I know a lot of people who explicitly decide between sectors early/mid career.

Tech vs consulting/finance for MBAs, tech vs. HFT for SWEs, tech vs. advertising for creatives, etc etc
It appears that all the emphasis defense places on breaking communication barriers in projects is completely disregarded when it comes to these particular projects.
People surely love Anthropic around these parts and on Reddit, but as a paying customer of both Claude and ChatGPT, I'll take the latter any time of day. I trust o1 much more than Sonnet, and I really like the ChatGPT native Mac client. I hope you guys are right though because the last thing we need is a quasi-monopoly in OpenAI.
Reading, yes. Writing, I have not tried.
It's not the 90s anymore. Using basic linear fog with ultra-realistic assets would just look terribly out of place.

The point about Lumen stands though. Baked lighting would have been much better in this case.
> Gaming cards for ML work you're doing it wrong

lol okay. "doing it wrong" for a tenth of the cost.
Belief systems generally lack properties of identity to prove anything by logic or rational method.

The first thing you need to prove anything is an objective unique definition, which isn't generally possible in the realm of the mind for all people, because we generally lack knowing or sufficient perception, making comparisons subjective.

There could be optimization towards minimizing objectively destructive acts (evil), and the blindness associated with evil people , through rational objective practices and measures. Evil people being those who commit evil acts while blinding themselves in acts of self-violation, to the consequences of their actions; repeating them.

Quite a lot of people today are no longer capable and fall to delusion because they were indoctrinated with false education and frameworks of thinking following a critical turn.

When the insane are running an insane asylum, everyone in there dies from starvation, its just a matter of time waiting for the right circumstances.
> It's weird because CMRR is listed in decibels but it's absolutely a DC spec.

If you get the Franco book equation 5.27 (my edition is the 3rd) explains why they do that. Long story short: It's a convenient form when CMRR = dVcm/dVos due to the orders of magnitude involved.
I encounter stuff like that, almost every day.

It's really important for me to feel empathy for others. It is not the same as weakness.

I was always told that it's really important to understand our enemies, and that often includes admitting that they are human, and have human motives.

That's not the same as being weak.

I've also been told "If you want to understand rats, talk to an exterminator."
Nah it’s offensive. Just because you don’t take issue doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt others.
why are some apple users so cringey?
Moving the moderation team from California to Texas is also noteworthy.

Presumably because the political climate of California is so skewed from the rest of the country.
