> If all you can do is transitions, you don't know upon transitioning if you still have a keyboard you are typing on or not. This also means that if you want to be able to function somehow in this world, then after each transition, you'd have to reassess all properties of all interesting aspects of the world just to make sure they are still there.

You're assuming that at every timestep all transitions are equally valid or equally likely. That's not a given, you can and of course should carefully model which transitions your system allows or not. In real life this model is Schrödinger's equation, as best as we know it. In your information system it can be whatever you design it to be.

So about what a Golden Era international flight cost, inflation adjusted [1]. Not bad.

[1] https://www.travelandleisure.com/airlines-airports/history-o...
I would love a 2-3 hour faster flight over the Atlantic when I visit family. Or even more saving when going over the Pacific.
But yes, it will be affordable for only a very small group of people I am not part of. I can't even afford first class for these flights.
What if it just… doesn’t?
The biggest problem in my opinion is the same problem concord had. You had to have two planes in every source location in case one of them has problems because your customers *will not accept a delay*.
I still don't get why this is bad for NVIDIA either. If anything, it brings more people into their ecosystem. NVIDIA is the AI hardware/platform company right now and people will deploy AI for more tasks if it becomes cheaper to do so.

But there's a more subtle point here which I don't see a lot of people talking about, maybe because they know more about this than me. Why wouldn't frontier model developers take DeepSeek R1 techniques and make their models even better or even larger? Or another way to ask: Are the DeepSeek R1 innovations only for making models cheaper (and slightly worse) or can the algorithms developed by the DeepSeek team be scaled up to make more powerful frontier models? Leading edge model developers don't just care about cost, they also want to release models with maximum capabilities. And as we've seen over the past few years, they're willing to pay almost anything to achieve this.

I think most AI researchers know there are still many things to explore in this space so disruptive innovations shouldn't be seen as a bubble burst but as more opportunity.

NVIDIA is in an extremely strong position right now. Even if someone has a major breakthrough on the hardware design side that dramatically lowers the cost of compute for AI workloads (which is highly unlikely), NVIDIA will just create their own implementation that will outperform the original since they have a stranglehold on an entire stack-up of technology: circuits, drivers, libraries and software.
And (sadly in my case) Paypal.

In 2020/21 I was working from home like many people. I'd been lucky enough to get an RTX3080 for my new computer build and decided to experiment with mining ETH during downtime - it was winter and the office was cold anyway...

"Made" a few hundred bucks over the course of a couple of months and had it in Coinbase. They had a setup where you could sell for USD and deposit in a Paypal account, so I logged into mine - which I hadn't used in a few years - and deposited the funds.

Shortly after, my account was frozen for suspicious activity. I was told that there was no way to reverse this or obtain any further info or explanation. The funds were not returned to my Coinbase account.

In the end I just said screw it and chalked it up as a learning experience. I hadn't really created anything of value so I didn't feel as angry as if I'd been cheated out of actual work. Still, it pissed me off that as far as I can tell, Paypal essentially stole a few hundred dollars from me and there was nothing I could do about it.

I had figured that by using "legit" services and following along with all of their KYC/tax policies I would be safe. In retrospect I probably would've been better off cashing out via some questionable crypto exchange. Haven't messed with any of it since.
I am really sad to see it play out like this, because I always liked the founder. That's probably the reason why I never saw a problem like this coming.
Yes that's what I thought too. It turns out that doctors who are talking with me believe that their EPIC IT system is no longer able to do paper orders, and the vaccination nurses say there's no way to obtain the physical vaccine without a coded order.

Everyone on staff tells me variations of fearing being fired or losing their license or employer retribution if anyone attempts workarounds.
Very much like Desktop Dungeons, which is high praise in my mind.

Excellent work! I think a lot of the feedback here is well intentioned but not from people as used to the turn-based space.

Really enjoying this. Thanks

Because there are actual negative consequences if they don't.

EU/GDPR had the right approach -- it's necessary to create negative consequences in order to force companies to invest sufficiently in support.
If you read the article it states that they were surprised by how much movement there was, not that there was movement.

You don’t see an ultrapremium flight option improving chances for synthetic jet fuel?
If (or when) mainland China gets up to speed with modern silicon process, it'll slot in nicely with the rest of the hardware work chain involved in producing electronics, which they pretty much own at this point.
Concorde would probably struggle in the post-9/11 airport security world; the days of showing up at the airport just before the flight are long gone for most folks.

A 2-3 hour reduction in flight time is appealing on its own, but probably not at a significant price increase.
Well it’s about an hour to commute on the train so I guess that long :3
It sounds difficult to make a definitive statement based on the findings of the referenced paper:

"Overall, the vitamin content of the frozen commodities was comparable to and occasionally higher than that of their fresh counterparts. β-Carotene, however, was found to decrease drastically in some commodities."

It was occasionally lower, too.
Having to drive in bumper to bumper traffic versus chilling in a large chair either working on a laptop, watching a movie or just sleeping (or well if you can't afford it in which case this is very irreverent due to ticket prices).
In what way will this be better than the Concorde? Definitely not cheaper.
You should know that this sort of rhetoric is both

a) silly, because... it's not true. Spam, phishing attempts, illegal content - all of this should be removed.

b) more damaging to whatever you're advocating for than you realize. You want a free web? So do I. But I'm not going to go around saying stuff like "all users should be able to post any URL at any time" and calling moderation actions "utterly despicable"
Off-topic, but I think I'm currently shadow-banned from recruiters. They spammed for a while, I didn't keep up replying… and I guess now my stats are bad. Any way to reset this?

Also, my feed is full of posts that are just past deadline. Guess I realize just how weird this platform is.
Highly depends on how accessible AMD makes these boards, if a lot of OEMs get it there will be good deals for sure. DDR5 prices are nowhere near Apple markups.
Story says Clearview returned 8 photos, 2 were Tolbert. Evidence connects Tolbert’s home and driveway to the killer. Why was Clearview part of the warrant at all?
It's funny you say that cause chatgpt, Gemini, etc have way more censorship built in than deepseek.
Not exactly. It is used to get to certain stage of an investigation, and before proceeding, other means are found to get to that same stage. In this case, parallel construction would have been done after AI identification but before getting the warrant. The parallel construction would/should have been used to justify the warrant and make the search legal. They didn’t do that, instead choosing to write the warrant in a way that was misleading at best, lying at worst, about justification for the search. Now the results of the search are being thrown out, which included finding the murder weapon in his house. So it doesn’t sound like he is likely innocent.
For real? Grab it before the door closes.
I expect as much. Having going through FedRAMP before, the alternative would be to make their regular commercial infrastructure be up to FedRAMP standards, which is incredibly onerous (things like change tracking, DR, US Citizen access only to production systems, etc.)
> You had to have two planes in every source location in case one of them has problems because your customers will not accept a delay

I’ve never seen this cited as a major problem for the Concorde. Assuming the tickets are under $50k, it wouldn’t be a problem today—someone paying $10 to 30k for first class isn’t kept a back-up jet for their convenience. Flying was immature in the Concorde’s era.
Brand-new accounts running large ad campaigns get much higher scrutiny, though.
Note that this is an error message from the ocamldoc tool, and not an error message from the OCaml compiler itself. Funnily enough, looking that the repository history, this French error message was introduced in the very first version of ocamldoc in 2002 and went undetected (or unreported) for 9 years. Thanks for the historical tidbit!
I don't like the (global) trend of renaming things every time governments change. It is lazy tokenism in my opinion.
The image generation results are extremely poor, but it's exciting that it does _anything_ in the browser.
I don't love the pollution in the go.mod or being forced to have multiple files to track dependencies.

Being able to run tools directly with go generate run [1] already works well enough and I frankly don't need see any benefits compared to it in this new approach.

Same/similar happened to me. I literally had to turn up in person at LinkedIn’s London office to get support to unlock my account. Based on their reaction, it did not seem like I was the first to do this.
Maybe it's just me, but in an endgame where (for example) it's just kings and a bunch of pawns, even a two pawn advantage is easy for me to lose—I pick the wrong pawn island to support with my king, and I've already lost. Knowing good heuristics in these sorts of situations is something that takes active study IME—"don't blunder pieces" is not sufficient, at least for me.

I don't give my LinkedIn profile and, if it's required, just submit the main URL or one for Bill Gates.

F*ck LinkedIn. You don't need it to get a job. I'm living proof. My profile has barely anything on it now.

They're amongst many companies who hate to provide minimal service to their "product." (Google, I'm looking at you.)

As for your ID issues, I had similar trouble when I lost my common sense and agreed to take a selfie while applying for an apartment in a new area. Several attempts to land thru perfect photo of my ID that they said wasn't verifiable (not sure why, folks, since my ID photo was nearly a decade old) and I gave up.

I would never do the same for a social media profile, so i recommend fighting back. Protect your privacy, ng friend, it's the last remaining bit of leverage you have.
Vs just "investigation"?
Business class is the way, it would be much cheaper if first-class didn't exist since I genuinely never felt so out of place when being there. But I guess the amount of money you can get from first-class customers surpasses the amount you can get from business class customers.
+1 my LLM spidy senses were tingling.

It’s the exclamation point in the first paragraph, the concise and consistent sentence structure, and the lack of colloquial tone.

OP, no worries if you’re real. I often read my own messages or writing and worry that people will think I’m an LLM too.
> There are proposals to have this over land as well which I am very strongly against to the point of not wanting a company like this to be successful

Air NIMBY!

On a serious note, the only way this gets overland approval is if it’s comparably loud to existing options. Which given the work that’s been done on sonic booms, and some of the old kit that still flies, isn’t as hard as you’d think.
Of course that's fair advice in itself, but the parent specifically equated them to a "college professor."
beeper + texts are very much under active development. we're working on the next-gen merged apps which is why you haven't seen many updates to the old desktop/ios apps.

It is, but also legitimately different companies and employees.
On this particular prediction: we know that China graduates more science, technology, engineering and mathematics students each year than the rest of the world combined. According to World Population Review, the highest IQs are found in Asian countries including Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, China and South Korea (Taiwan is top at an average of 106). Why would it be surprising to see China with its capital and human resources catch up with the West and surpass it?

Maybe we should treat predictions as messages ('do something if you don't like it') not certainties.
It could be better in the sense of actually flying, which the Concorde no longer does. Newer technology and lessons learned from the Concorde will probably also make it safer although that's harder to predict.
Hi Arun! Good to hear from you. I'm so sorry to hear about your people affected by the wildfires. I'll reply to you directly. Thank you so much for sharing this! <3
I'm still on the fence about whether this is something people actually want. Do you mind if I learn a bit more about your current workflow with case studies?
good point, it's certainly more of a trend with the younger generation and in the west.

But even living in a country that is perceived as "beer centric", i noticed that people are starting to be much more conscious of their alcohol consumption after covid. For the young generation, alcohol does not seem to play as big a role anymore and i would expect that this carries over to their work-life once they enter the work force.
Do NOT grow a business based on some single closed single ecosystem. That's especially true for Facebook (Do NOT host your company "webpage" on Facebook only, for example) and LinkedIn.

The final nail in the coffin for Linked in must surely be LLMs, since at least my picture of LinkedIn is that it's filled with people who post barely sentient text about how they are excited about random uninteresting things.
You're going to take your laptop with you into the toilet on the train...?

I don't think I've ever seen a human being do that before on a train. Not to go to the toilet, nor to grab a coffee in another car.

You can't be paranoid about everything. My friend in France had put his laptop back into his bag where it wasn't visible and assumed that was good enough, but someone must have seen him do it and just took the whole bag.

You are applying a totally unreasonable standard, to suppose that the thefts were due to unreasonable carelessness. What, do you think someone should take their large luggage into the bathroom too, every time they need to pee?

Talk about victim-blaming.
This got submitted to HN just a few minutes before your post [1].

When ChatGPT-3 came out I said two things: (1) this is not going to develop godlike intelligence even if you scale it up considerably [2], but (2) we had no idea how these work so that particular model was terribly inefficient and there will be future models that are more efficient.

And here we are. First-mover advantage turned out to be a disadvantage. If you are OpenAI or Facebook and have a good model you're going to be inclined to take what you've got and try to improve its accuracy. The right thing to do is throw it out and start all over using everything we know about how to increase efficiency, but there's the fear that it won't be as good as the original model, customers won't want to rebuild all their RAG vectors, etc. See [4]

I feel like American college sports are in a similar cycle of enshittification right now.

Conference-specific TV networks have become an enormous source of income, so conferences are incentivized to expand distribution of their regional TV networks by moving into new geographic markets. Schools, looking out for themselves, are trying to join the most successful conference possible, to get a cut of the mega-conference TV cash. We now have the so-called Atlantic Coast Conference with members schools in Texas and California. The Big 10 Conference, previously made up of 10 midwestern schools, is now up to 18 schools, spanning from coast to coast.

Athletes in non-revenue sports are taking long plane rides so they can go run on a track or swim in a pool thousands of miles from home, rather than at a nearby, longstanding rival's facility.

The revenue sports are generally happier, although you do get oddities there too. In football, teams generally only play 8 conference teams, so determining the best team in an 18-team conference where each team hasn't even played half of the league isn't terribly fair.

Any why are universities abandoning historic rivalries and doing so much wasteful travel? All for that almighty dollar.

Our company requires you have a LinkedIn because we’ve been burned by multiple engineers who accepted our offer and (months later) never actually quit their previous job. The common thread between people who have had multiple jobs at once has been they hide their LinkedIn
Strange. It’s rather straightforward to create a (fake) linkedin profile with a couple of hundred of connections (I have one of such profiles, just for fun). I cannot understand companies that think having a linkedin profile makes you look more “legit”
Yeah. I typed long messages every single time and all I got was the same template response.
Of the nearly 400 companies I've applied to over the past year, almost all of them have asked for my linkedin profile, and maybe 10 have actually had someone scope me out.

You’d prefer we buy them from China? If the physics works, it works and will happen.

> military (and concord I guess) have had this technology for nearly a millennium

Since the millennium, maybe? Charlemagne wasn’t flying in a supersonic PJ.

And no, the military has not obviously solved large-body, sustained and fuel-efficient (i.e. non-afterburning) flight. The USAF didn’t get supercruise until the F-22 [1]. (The Concorde is the only non-military example.) It’s a tremendously new technology, as are modern numerical methods for fuselage and shockwave modelling.

You would think that a real police officer would have reviewed all of the video themselves and checked the work of the facial recognition system. The software is just there to help narrow down what the officer needs to manually review. Like doing a web search and manually checking the top results to see if they are what you want.
Requiring that police don't taint their investigations boils down to a mere "technicality" to you?

It is better that 1,000 guilty people go free than one innocent person be held. These "technicalities" are supposed to be one of the ways we protect against that, at the same time as they are intended to protect against people's rights being violated. This is why evidence must be presented that has been gathered by methods that prevent things like this from happening.

Continue down the chain on your house example. Imagine in each case instead of transferring money in bank accounts, people do the work on credit. Add up all the credit at the end of the chain. Then go back and add up all the bank account balances in the "pay with money transfer". It'll be the same (except for the fraction). Now, go look at a bunch of public company balance sheets - you'll see payables and receivables all the way down from mining companies to retailers. One long chain of credit. They could have all borrowed money from banks instead and have zero trade receivables throughout the entire chain.

The point of "money creation" is to enable economic activity. Credit does the same thing. In fact, your "money" at the bank is just a receivable from the bank. Ray Dalio has a quarter decent explanation of it here: https://youtu.be/PHe0bXAIuk0

If you look at the Overture's website (https://boomsupersonic.com/overture), it sounds like that's exactly what they are planning to do - it's advertised as "MACH 1.7 Cruise Speed, 2X Faster over water, 20% Faster over land" - if you take Mach 0.8 as the current cruise speed of subsonic jets, 20% faster would be just barely under the speed of sound.
