When I was at Kent (88-91) the few rooms which did have connections (only available in the new-build Darwin Houses at the time, IIRC) had basic serial ports. The colleges (not dorms, if you please!) had dedicated computer rooms (using mostly old TA Alphatronics as terminals) with a PAD connecting them to the Cambridge Ring campus network. We had full email/FTP privileges for the Internet (the term 'JANET' was still used, but it was becoming less prominent) but mostly only read-only Usenet privileges, unless you asked the right person very nicely.

Interesting perspective, and it's hard to disagree with the idea that there are people who are more outliers than some others on either end, which is just a natural result of any distribution, though I think another angle to this topic is how "good" and "bad" are always relative. Throughout human history, somebody who is regarded as a visionary, saint and savior by their own in-group might well be regarded as the biggest evil by another group of humans. Some simple examples would be somebody like Columbus or Genghis Khan. Those are extreme cases of course, but the same applies on various scales.
I share your thoughts. Sometimes you just need to be at the right place, at the right time, solving the exact problem and this is troublesome, especially in this era when so much is already invented.

Maybe I just have a wrong view, but I don't know how to decouple from this.
“Walt Disney” by Neal Gabler. The man was reinventing himself through his life. Disney is sort nowadays stereotypical corporate americana but by god, it actually was started by the whims, passion, skill & vision of Walt. A must read imo to anyone interested in creation and building.
Because getting something into production is much more than just the specification.

You can specify anything. But producing hardware that complies with that spec is much harder.

Then you've done a lot of research and development, so you have to sell it in a way that is backwards compatible, so you have to wrangle a whole group of organizations (foundries, chip designers, customers) who each have their own product lifecycles to think about. Intel might be ready, but Apple is delaying their release, etc.
Absolutely also recommend! Took a while to get through it but Moses figured out how to hack government and civil engineering projects.

> All action is "subjective and subject to biases that change over time".

This is poppycock. Backing up all books -- the very action discussed by the person you're answering -- is by definition neither subjective nor subject to biases.

> This would then imply I could never take any action, because it's just subjective and biased.

And even if the first quoted claim were true, this, too, clearly isn't. Nowhere does the comment you're answering imply that the bias or subjective rationale of an action should, ipso facto, discourage a person from taking it.

Your comment is replete with similar reasoning, so warped that it's difficult to characterize as anything other than in bad faith. Indeed, this is the snottiest, rudest, least constructive comment I've seen on HN in quite some time -- excepting a couple of my snotty remarks on language or the quality of someone's writing.

I have no idea what response you expect, but the only one you deserve, I think, is one that just points out your dismissiveness, sarcasm, and breathtaking contempt. What an awful way to move through the world, let alone through HN.

I read this article once: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/12/07/bacteria-on-th...

" The tumor had spread to his brain stem and was shortly expected to kill him. Muizelaar cut out as much of the tumor as possible. But before he replaced the “bone flap”—the section of skull that is removed to allow access to the brain—he soaked it for an hour in a solution teeming with Enterobacter aerogenes, a common fecal bacterium. Then he reattached it to Egan’s skull, using tiny metal plates and screws. Muizelaar hoped that inside Egan’s brain an infection was brewing."

The scientists did get penalised for it but as a hail mary it might be worth investigating. My best wishes for your friend.

I think that most people with non-mainstream views understand that their views are not mainstream, and will be quite willing to ignore community notes. But your idea generally has merit; an automated system trying to predict how content will be rated by third parties seems much better than having it try to do the rating itself.
I think most people would agree we're all wired differentely on individual basis, and some traits are clearly associated with being male or female come from the brain itself. One documentary comes to mind is Marwencol https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1391092/ where a transvestite man lost his memory after a violent attack and truma to head and the new him becomes disgusted at the idea of wearing women clothes!
It’s not about conclusively debunking. There is no evidence for it at all! They say he drowned for his impiety at publishing the dodecahedron (stated first by Iamblichus, 700 years later).

“The discovery of irrational numbers is said to have been shocking to the Pythagoreans, and Hippasus is supposed to have drowned at sea, apparently as a punishment from the gods for divulging this and crediting it to himself instead of Pythagoras which was the norm in Pythagorean society. However, the few ancient sources who describe this story either do not mention Hippasus by name (e.g. Pappus)[4] or alternatively tell that Hippasus drowned because he revealed how to construct a dodecahedron inside a sphere.[5] The discovery of irrationality is not specifically ascribed to Hippasus by any ancient writer”

I'd suggest 'The Rickover Effect' by Theodore Rockwell. The author gives a firsthand account of what it was like to be part of the teams who created the first nuclear-powered submarine and civilian nuclear power plant (perhaps counterintuitively, in that order). There is a fair amount of discussion about people, culture and leadership, but it is very grounded and very detailed about the mechanics of what went into these projects and how the former made the latter possible.
Careful, the ideal gas law doesn’t really tell you this at all.

The nice case is adiabatic expansion, and at least the sign of the temperature change has the decency to behave the way one would expect:

Just wanted to point out that the notion of a "document" is also an illusion to the LLM. It's processing a sequence of low dimensional spaces into another sequence of low dimensional spaces. The input spaces preserve aspects of content similarity based on co-occurrence. The model learns to transform these spaces into higher order spaces based on the outcome of training.

You couldn't say that the model has a singular sense of self, but it certainly has been trained on data that allows it to mimic it in short spurts, and mimicry is what humans do to learn more complex/abstract tasks. The training goal is not to learn how to "be", but rather to learn how to "do" the parts necessary to continue existing.

"Fake it till you make it" is really all that's required to exist in the world.

> I do find it interesting that so many people have such great problems with their searches

Even ignoring the quality of the results, the idea that people refuse to pay 10 dollars for something as essential to life as a search engine continues to baffle me.

I think we can all agree on a couple of points:

- Information shapes our thoughts and our behaviour.

- Search engines provide and direct us to the majority of the information we consume.

- Thus, search engines have a significant influence on our thoughts and our behaviour.

How anyone can then conclude that the search engine of a hyper capitalistic ad company is the best alternative, just because it is 10 dollars cheaper, is beyond me.

Well, that's a problem on many of the devices I've seen: zero is a valid memory address and dereferencing it does not cause any kind of crash. In fact some hardware requires reading or maybe even writing to that address. In an age of virtual memory there's no reason why zero should cause a crash and it wastes an entire page of memory for every application to make that happen, if it does.
It’s because you can’t create square root of two with a fraction. Pythagoreans were all about fractions (such as their musical tuning).
I don't see why the order makes any difference with respect to the use of the term, nor do I get from description what you think is humorous about it.

It still reads to me like just a synonym for "address book" to refer to a mapping.

I have a contrary opinion: most important things are started by apparently small things, but there is a huge amount of training, effort and persistence behind getting to that small thing.

I think that "people who did hard things" fall on a spectrum between these two extremities:

- someone who got lucky

- someone who invested an unfathomable amount of time to their craftsmanship or to their beliefs

Of course it is not black and white, and even luck mostly requires hard work in the first place, which I admire (and if you find your luck - hold to it!, nothing wrong with that), but you get the gist. I guess that in other words what I am saying is: beware of the survivorship bias on the left side of this spectrum.

Finally, the book: "The story of my experiments with Truth", Ghandi. Definitely belongs to the "work hard" extremity and a very interesting read; but I don't want to create an impression that I find it special in any way because of my above comment, it is just one of the latest I have read, consider the two comments unrelated.
I mean, any sort of data about a population with be distributed along a bell curve. I read "typically" and "generally" as meaning in the center of the distribution.
If you liked that, you should read "Empire of Ice and Stone" by Budy Levy which was about an Arctic expedition.

It's a good read from a leadership perspective. The "leader" of the expedition (Vilhjalmur Stefansson) abandoned his crew in the middle of the frozen arctic seas and went off the hunt caribou and meet his secret inuit wife. The book portrays him as being completely irresponsible and interested only his own glory and fame (and money)

Meanwhile, the captain of the ship (Robert Bartlett) walked for 700 miles from where they were stranded and then started a rescue mission from Alaska which saved some (though not all of the crew). He's portrayed as a real hero in harsh circumstances.

The whole expedition was named after the flagship. The Karluk (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_voyage_of_the_Karluk). They had two inuit families with them during the trip including their kids. It was funny to see how the inuit kids would play in the snow and have fun while the "explorers" were all but dropping dead. The youngest child was aged 3 at the time. She passed away finally in 2008 at the age of 97.

Yeah, the Logitech Harmony remotes that combined real buttons with a touch screen, particulary the Harmony One, were amazing. You had buttons for all of the common stuff, like volume, play, pause, numbers, and so on, but then you also had a touch screen so you could directly trigger actions that can't have physical buttons because they're different between individual setups.

yes the studies are flawed, because you know four cases yourself. that's exactly how studies are proven to be flawed.

going with ideology (in any direction) in this type of research is useless, it misses potential discoveries that can enhance both women and men lives and even improve equality between sexes. The press article is quite shallow, I agree, but the actual research is linked there: https://bsd.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13293-024-00...

You can look at the charts, the distributions clearly overlap a lot, but there are also clear differences. Can't say what the implications are, if any, this is up to research to figure out.

PS: it would be very interesting to study brains in transexual people to see if any of those patterns are confirmed and how.

Media stories asserted that he made such an implication. I believe that people came to that conclusion because they saw the assertion in the media, and didn't look into it further. I don't think they could have come to that conclusion on their own from what Musk actually said - if they were thinking clearly. As you say, it was not his fault. But people very often don't think clearly when it comes to topics like this. They infer things that were not implied.

I'm personally working on something like this for the ESP32, but written on top of micropython [1]. A few things are written in C such as the display driver, but otherwise most things are in micropython. We chose the T-Watch 2020 V3 microphone variant as the platform [2].

Our objective is to build a modern PDA device via a mostly stand-alone watch that can be synced across devices (initially the Linux desktop). We want to achieve tasks that you might typically do on your desktop, focussed towards productivity.

We did consider a custom OS, but decided against it for a few reasons:

1. Allowing somebody else to handle basic OS stuff allows us to concentrate on what really matters, the higher level stuff on top.

2. Having multiple threads in micropython is super simple and we are able to run many active apps at the same time, rather than having to kill them off [3]. Our background apps can continuously interact with the network in the background.

3. Code written for micropython can be easily run on other Python-capable devices.
